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.

Less than a year and a half ago we all though a PP minority was the worst case scenario and many thought the Liberals would be out for the next decade no matter their leader. Now we'll have a Liberal Majority in a few weeks. My guess is Carney will get a second majority in 2029.

True but fate is a double edged sword, just as easily this could all blow up on the liberals. Toasting champagne after sneaking a majority through the backdoor is gonna be distasteful to huge swaths of Canada. And remember people can cross the floor the other way also if they see the wind blowing a different direction. 

Your assumption about the '29 election assumes this country even exists in it's current configuration by then, which becomes a bigger if by the day. The liberals greasing out a majority instead of doing what is probably the smart thing and calling an election to get it legit may be overplaying their hand. Also tells you how confident they are that an ACTUAL majority of Canadians would support them at the polls (not very confident clearly)

Honestly? Im getting fucking tired of people like you who can't read the writing on the wall. Its clear this is going towards a dictatorship and the canadian population is completely okay with it. No liberal, boomer or immigrant will complain about it since they will get more free stuff (funded by our tax and printing!) While we all suffer more and more. It isnt going yo suddenly wake people up.

I dont give a shit if this is down voted lilr crazy because I decided to put my foot down and call out your people's toxic positivity, but its the truth. Get ready for it to get worse.

For some here, its been steady hits of copium since last year.

The rest of us don't want to lose our 20's and 30's to huffing "well maybe the libs won't" anymore.

I was looking at my post history after the second CPC floor crossing and noticed that you called it perfectly. Majority by the end of March, so congratulations I guess, lol.

Thanks but I would rather have taken the L on my guess. Understandably so.
