I will say this: The residents who are laughing and commenting, within a literal stone's throw of a firearms event, are absolute morons. i just measured the distance on Google Maps. It's a whopping 160 feet (80m). I can't make out what he's using and haven't seen it mentioned anywhere but if it's a long gun, of any sort, they're easily in threat range. Hell, my .44 cal lever is bloody dangerous at that distance.
He ain't my king.
That sucks. It's really hard to win adverse possession in most of Ontario now. The vast majority of land is in the registry with extents. Adverse possession apparently can't update the registry. There is some land in the far north that is not well documented and squatters rights have a chance.
There are numerous YouTube videos demonstrating the number of layers of drywall a slug can penetrate.
They probably get their wish. The combo of shooting a cop and fotl crap in court should ensure he is gone for a long time. But then time he gets put, there's a good chance someone (mortgage holder, town, etc) has taken action against his property.
He was determined, getting shot for his efforts.
It will be years before his trial. Attempted murder can get you life in prison. Shooting a cop probably gets you close to the max. I don't know if Canada is doing consecutive sentences yet or if we are still stuck with the concurrent stupidity. He will have a long list of other charges that will be hard to beat. I doubt he is alive when he leaves jail.
Fotl types are IMO, delusional. Their rhetoric about laws and definitions are based on non-existent books and laws. Talking to them is a waste of time. My B-I-L tried it once.
The Meads case in Alberta was a divorce case where the judge laid out a framework for dealing with OPCA (Organized Pseudolegal Commercial Argument eg Freeman on the land, sovereign citizen, moor, etc). No need to get in circular arguments. Let the courts apply the framework they have in place.

Consecutive sentences are a thing, but extremely rare.
That's one of the big problems with our current system. If the argument is you aren't criminally responsible because of mental health issues and we have close to a zero percent solve rate on mental health issues, you should be confined to a mental institution for a minimum of the criminal sentence you dodged. Dodging criminal culpability and being back on the street shortly to re-offend is offensive to everyone but the offender.
NCR findings are insignificant, in overall stats.
While being a small percentage, that doesn't remove the lifelong impacts they impose on victims after release as their mental health issues are deemed resolved. Being a small percentage, that also makes it easy to implement as you don't need to immediately create many many spaces for them..
There's a problem when punishment is grounds for being too punishing.
