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.

NDP floor crosser now so it’s pretty much a guarantee that they will get their majority. Don’t understand why these people think it’s okay to do this it’s not what the people voted her in for.

Just saw that. 2025 was absolutely the last year I ever bother to vote in this country. I have but one vote Ill still cast, and its not gonna be who I want as MP. Waste of time as we keep seeing. In the off chance they lose the by elections, they will get their majority via crossings. Theres absolutely no chance we have an election before the last moment of 2029. Im so over this.

GG Kanaduh. G fucking G.

Basically makes it seem like our votes are for nothing if they can just walk on over to the other party. No matter which side it is I think floor crossing should lead to an immediate vote in that MP’s riding and let the people decide.

It's actually disgusting that this is allowed. Carney got something like 40% of the vote, Polievre was only a couple percentage points behind, yet the wishes of 35-38% of the country are just being totally steamrolled. 

I hope for the West's sake that this kicks off that Alberta separatism even more. I sort of think it will, at least the Liberals were forced to govern slightly moderately more center when in a minority, I think we are going to see full on net zero, tax and spend freight train plough through the country now that there will be no meaningful opposition. Not even like Trudeau's fucky deal with the NDP twisting his arm, Carney will be able to govern basically like a king now, while receiving well under half of the votes in the country. It's fucked.

I hope it gets worse for 2 reasons. 1) its what we fucking deserve for this and I want to see liberals suffer 2) make Alberta (maybe even sask and more) separatism look more appealing to people as, like you said, shit goes from moderate to miserable.

Canada has basically turned into a joke of a country it once was. There was the CBC expose thingy that happened as well which wasn’t shocking to hear that they suppressed conservative news among other things. There will be two referendums this October with Alberta and Quebec and I would love to see that shit happen because it’ll make the liberals look like the complete idiots that they are

that this kicks off that Alberta separatism even more

When the government refuses to respect the results of the election, why should the people?
