I don't get how they keep blaming the gun lobby when poly and the rest of anti-gun lobby is considerably more powerful. Like poly installed their own person into the government, if anyone else did that it would be called corruption.

Because being the victim is what they're good at. Look they're the plucky underdog fighting the good fight. It's all about framing for them
if anyone else did that it would be called corruption.
One could argue that platforming a group like them for votes is as dirty as it gets and it's never been about public safety...

u/Reasonable_Hall2346 Apr 02 '26
Its easy. The voters they are targeting believe we are like the USA. The "gun lobby" in their mind is an all powerful entity and equate it to the NRA in USA.

We should get Rod from the CCFR to join the CPC and run in a super safe Alberta or SK riding and get our own lobbyist into the HOC. Or someone like him at least.
Granted, props to the CPC who have actually been keeping this subject alive in the house. I'm glad they haven't just ignored it and that we are still regularly seeing CPC MPs and Polievre continuing to grill the government on the subject. Gives me some hope the CPC will undo all this bullshit one day because some of the CPC members (rural MPs) seem to genuinely care about the subject.

There is no gun lobby in Canada. You can look Up the lobby groups and you’ll find that none actually exists. And when I say gun lobby, I mean the American gun lobby which is what they’re often referring to

u/WeightedDips95 Apr 02 '26
Accusing your enemy of what you are doing is a pretty common theme of these leftist authoritarians, you see it all the time, like when they say we are the peddlers of disinformation whilst lying in every breath. So that could be it.
Most of their foot soldiers like Natalia and Gary probably arent smart enough to do this conciously however. The whole gun lobby thing like others have said is probably an imported talking point from the US. It has zero basis here but they exploit the fact Canadians consume so much American media and the pre-built hatred infrastucture created towards gun lobbies in the US over the last 20 years.
Its literally the same playbook the used to win against PP. Canadians hate Trump, so such call PP maple maga. Theyve called the CCFR NRA North many times.

Yeah? Not nearly as corrupt as the GunLobbytm owning all the police services (including the RCMP, apparently). /s
Seriously though that bit about every police service falling for GunLobbytm propaganda is friggin baffling, even for Poly.
Edit: Some grammar

Who'd have guessed that jobs that require firearms, would attract people who enjoy using firearms? Let's convene a committee and bring in 2 consulting firms to figure this one out.

u/mischling2543 Apr 02 '26
You have it backwards - people who use firearms for their jobs necessarily become educated about firearms and see through the Liberal lies

You can say what you want about Provost, but she wasn't "installed," she was lawfully elected. Let's not dive into rhetoric, when the facts of the issue are more than enough to support us.

Its so fucking ridiculous these news agencies never mention how there is probably at least 500k banned weapons in country. If we're LUCKY they mention the 136,000 budgeted for. Fucking INSANE they just never mention this particularly damaging piece of information.

CBC puts in a picture of a gun from the US, why don’t they insert a Ruger No1 rifle they are banning or maybe an SVT 40 rifle.Media always showing guns we can’t buy here to scare non-gun owners.

u/Spider-King-270 Apr 02 '26
Scare tactics, I think I saw national post use an SVT, type 81 and AR in there op photo, but yeah some still use ether full auto video clips from ranges in burger land or gun shows in Wisconsin.

u/Cordel2000 Apr 02 '26
Last week’s article they showed a police officer in tactical gear with an assault rifle and CBC calling the rifle a patrol rifle maybe they should call the guns the general gun owners have parade rifles.

They see the middle class as a threat to their elevated existence. If everybody is poor, unarmed, and worried about criminals running around everywhere, they can't focus their attention against the ruling class.

Decently balanced article if CBC LPC propaganda trash.
The quote from poly is literally fucked up, saying “one half gets paid and the other half doesn’t” like they just open want hostile divisions in this country. Which is hilarious because the day they want a hostile takeover it’s the people who complied they’ll go after first, since they disarmed them.
We need more articles talking about the total number of guns actually circulating, the billion dollars that just got lit on fire and the fact Gary is banking on retired cops to do the collecting.

People aren't just being drama queens when they say that these people hate you. Their media statements are dripping with spite.

u/rastamasta45 Apr 02 '26
Oh 100%, they even had to add “the people who didn’t comply are listening to the gun lobby” basically saying they’re the enemy of Canada.
Lovely country we’re in eh

You would think a lot of that came from stores maybe ? Did they ever do a breakdown on stuff like that ?

u/thxxx1337 Apr 02 '26
A week ago Gary mentioned it was 51k guns (at the time) and 26k declared then. Who knows how many guns are commercial, but I guess there was somewhere close to 30k users by the end.

That doesn't mean they're not lumping them in together. These are the same people that are claiming there's only 137k prohibs.

u/HornyGoatWeedGuzzler Apr 02 '26
30k absolute chuds who sold out themselves and their country for less than 5k (if anything)

u/luckeycat Apr 02 '26
136k doesn't even cover what they have banned. Which is ridiculous to begin with. What a clown show.

None of what you said necessarily makes you a Liberal gun owner.
It sounds like you've fallen for the propaganda that conservatives and libertarians hate other people.

"I also don't like people telling me what to do."
Supporting the most bloated, bureaucratic government in Canadian history, who repeatedly infringes on the rights of Canadians tells a different story.
If you think the liberals give two fucks about helping people I have a bridge to sell you.

u/Mo-Cance Apr 02 '26
Upper and lower-case L's make a huge difference when talking about liberal values. The current L bears little resemblence to what a lot of Liberals stand for, which includes individual property rights and due process.

u/TheeDirtyToast Apr 02 '26
And yet they still vote for the party destroying our country.
The main issue here is that the comment I replied to is suggesting that if you vote Conservative it means you don't care about others, so they vote for the party thats killing people with legal drugs, MAID, third world mass immigration, etc because of a complete lie.
2
u/Mo-Cance Apr 02 '26
Wait, you claim to be against the infringement of rights, but don't support a person's right to end their own life? Seems pretty contradictory.
They also didn't indicate who they voted for, and it's really none of your business anyway.

u/TheeDirtyToast Apr 02 '26
I support a person's right to end their life, sure. If they are terminally ill. As with every policy the left jumps on they have way overshot the target and we are now killing people with treatable conditions which is gonna be a no from me.
As far as whonthey voted for they are here "checking in" as a "liberal gun owner". I'll let you connect the dots on that one.
After 11 years to reflect on, anybody who still proudly calls themselves a liberal and votes for this government is a complete fool, and doing a disservice to this country.

u/Mo-Cance Apr 02 '26
That's a whole load of misinformation about MAID. There are numerous guardrails in place to ensure a patient qualifies, and people aren't being killed while also being treatable - that's one of the main components of the program.
None of us here like it when non-gun owners spread BS about firearms. Maybe try extending that notion to other sensitive issues.

Literally one anecdote. Concerning? Yes. Indicative of the whole program. Absolutely not.
Also, as per the article: "Canada’s MAID law requires two medical practitioners to agree that the person has a serious disease or disability causing unbearable physical or psychological suffering and is in an advanced and irreversible state of decline."
Another qualified doctor would still need to conduct their own lines of inquiry and come to the determination of eligibility for MAID.
