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.

Honestly like 90% of the time I see vile hatred being spewed on the internet nowadays, it's like 60-70 year old white men, acting like children screaming about maple MAGA. It's pretty nuts how immature that generation acts. No discussions of facts, just straight up hatred for anyone right of center and screaming fascist. The amount of times I've seen a 70 year old white guy calling Polievre a fascist is nuts. It's astounding how brainwashed some of them are. I don't know how anyone can look around at the country and think it's doing well. 

It also drives me nuts when I see Melanie Joly or Carney get up in parliament and start screaming about "the greatest economy in the G7!" Yeah, okay Liberals, keep preaching from your 300k salaried ivory tower in Ottawa how great the economy is doing.

Honestly for me its old white women, old men too sure but mainly old white women. A group who has quite literally never suffered and got to experience the best economy ever and all the freedoms of the 60s-70s etc. They got to have their cake and eat it too, and now they think they know what's best for us youth. And the amount of bullshit they will pull out to do it is insane. I guess when you still believe a house is the cost of a current day used car and pay was matching that cost and didnt stagnate over a decade ago (side note liberals will argue it didnt stagnate because achtually it went up 2k over that time!🤓☝️) that housing costs being so expensive now is obviously the war in Iran! Damn those Iranians, making my housing more expenise, my food more expensive, my cost of living more expensive, my crime in my community explode, my rights erode, take away my chances of ever owning a real 1911 (unforgivable), taxes increase and more!!! Damn them!!! 

Oh, if only Covid did what it was promised to do ....
