The Conservatives haven't had a majority in over a decade, and even then their majority was slim. Is there any real chance that they could win in 2025? Considering the country is run solely by urbanites, and a lot of urbanites are progressives who automatically equate Canadian Conservatives with their American counterparts, are there enough Canadians who will actually care enough about how the Liberals have fucked the country to vote a different party this time round?

And even in the best-case scenario where there is a Conservative majority, is it then likely that they'd actually bother repealing the current gun bans, as well as whatever other crap the Liberals continue to add over the next 2 years?

Time will tell, no party ever says in power forever in Canada. Look at ontario, they had a liberal provincial government for a long time till people got sick of their shit and voted them out

I guess not, given Del Duca couldn't even win his own seat, lol. It was a choice between Ford and the NDP that agreed with Del Duca.
