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.

Just watched that video on Pierres YT account about housing minister in parliament.... did he just fucking try to blame the housing costs and why no one can afford one on the current Iran war?????

and definitely don't look up what the housing minister also owns and is famous for besides being a politician. It's eye opening.

Do liberals do nothing but fucking lie and make shit up? Seriously, if it wasnt for lying would the liberals have any talking points??

If no one holds them accountable and thier base eats it up, why would they stop? Emotional arguments resonate with them and their base.

Edit: 2 minutes of full on gas lighting for those who havent seen it

It's actually just disgusting how much they lie. Not to mention all the promises they made before the election, all of which have turned out to be complete bullshit.  "We're gonna build half a million affordable home!" Guess how many that "build Canada homes" program has built? Fucking 9.  And only in Nunavut. And they won't be ready till 2027 iirc. "I'm the man to deal with Trump!" Oh yeah, where's that deal? Are we even gonna have USMCA renewed? "We're going to build at rates never seen before!".... Okay so what big projects have YOU started Carney? Even the big LNG project in BC was approved by HARPER!! The Liberals have been in for 11 years now and it's just getting underway? And Carney is trying to take credit for a project approved 11 years ago under the CPC as if he has anything at all to do with it?

Nothing is being done, nothing is being built. We're just continuing to get fucked by high taxes and a stagnant economy. 

"We gave Canadians a 1% tax break!!!" Yeah, and then raised EI and CPP contributions so no net extra cash in our pockets, but they got to run a tax cut headline. Fucking pricks.

Absolutely painful to watch, same old liberals, new boss, let me guess “but pp would be worse” as they say that living out of a cardboard box.

Carney appointing the former mayor of Vancouver of all places as housing minister just shows me they know what theyre doing. Sick sense of humor. You can see it on Carneys face. He's constantly barely hiding his duper's delight. When he was accepting Idiotlout the other day you could see the grin trying to take over his face.

Vancouverites also elected a house flipper as their MP (Liberal)

I havent looked into who the housing minister is but im assuming hes either a direct landlord eith a bunch of properties or sits on a board of directors for s company that is one of those company landlords? Like all recent housing ministers ?

Robertson was formerly the mayor of Vancouver. He was also famous for how bad things got there. Like he was one of major reasons they had a housing crisis there (keeping his rich buddies rich). He also got caught accepting 100k payout from CUPE (the government ethics probe quietly died), one of the companies he founded also got busted for fraud.

But like many Canadian politicians, they fall upward at our expense.

Holy shit seriously!??? Darn... I wish I was right then, at least that would be typical corruption but this .... this is advanced corruption.  Carney really knows how to pick em, eh? Yeah... people tend to fall upwards. Isn't there some correlation between that and the fall of nations? If not then there should be. 

But hey once the Iran war is over I can get a house for 25k since thats clearly the issue with housing, as said so by him.

To quote our favourite public safety minister.

Don't ask me to explain the logic.
