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.

“The Canadian economy lost more jobs in February than it has in a single month in the last four years — but Prime Minister Mark Carney says when compared to the United States, we're doing pretty good.” 

Who gives a fuck? Country needs to constantly compare everything to the states. We’re absolutely pathetic

Because it offers context?

Every single developed country is experiencing significant job losses. We're still doing better than the world's largest economy south of us.

I swear Gen Z's think we live in a bubble and every country is some separate closed economy insulated from the world. 🙄
