News / Politics / Activism Recurring Canadaguns Politics and Debate Thread

Please post all your Gun Politics or Ban-related ideas, questions, initiatives, comments, suggestions, news articles, and recommendations in this thread. This thread recurs every 14 days.

First and foremost, this is a Canadian Gun subreddit, so keep it at least decently related to both of those things.

This thread is not for general politics, there are plenty other subs that are meant for that. Off-topic threads may be removed, especially if they are leading to personal attacks, flame wars, etc.

To prevent the main sub being flooded with dozens of similar threads, text posts complaining about/asking about/chatting about gun politics will be sent here.

We understand that politics is a touchy subject, and at times things can get heated. A reminder of the subreddit rules, when commenting, where subreddit users are expected to abide.

Keep this Canadian gun politics related and polite. Off-topic stuff, flame wars, negative generalizations against groups, personal attacks and gate-keeping will be removed. Please flag any comments to bring to the attention of mods otherwise exercise your upvoting and downvoting ability.

I’m in university and know a lot of obviously liberal students. Most of them go off the assumption that “Peepee” is going to ban women, LGBTQ+, abortions, and minorities. Anyone who leans right is “brainwashed” in their eyes. I have no idea why these seemingly smart people are so easy to trick

Unfortunately PP does spend a lot of time talking about gender issues as does his cabinet members. If they dropped the identity politics that only appeals to their base they would probably do better.

I mean I literally am dating another dude and I don’t really think Pierre’s out to get me. I haven’t really seen him say anything I would consider “nasty” within the last decade. I think when he does talk about the genuinely ridiculous stuff going on people spin it how they want to see it, and they wanna see it as the typical “conservative = homophobe”
