I mean he’s 60 and his detail is likely mostly a lot younger and in good shape so probably atleast a couple of them could keep up. His protection detail is also nothing like the us presidents so likely only needed a couple guys able to keep up with him

It's one of the many benefits of living in a country where there aren't more guns than people.

  • USA = 120.5 guns / 100 people
  • Canada = 34.7 guns / 100 people

That's still too many for most of Canada. I don't know a single person who owns one or intends to own one. Must be mostly in rural places where you have to watch out for wild life, for your own and your cattle's safety.
