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.

Do you think the announcement of the Alberta referendum and the sudden “care” that Carney has for Alberta could have them scrap the buyback or increase the amnesty period? Since the gun grab is one top causes for the separation among other issues I would like to hear your thoughts.

I doubt it but with it being what, 2 billion now, fuckall to show for it in the middle of a cost of living crisis and needing to have the courts shut down a (perfectly legal) separatist vote because it was getting too popular may signal something. Maybe. Probably not, especially since Carney may be losing his majority due to him bleeding MPs (despite no one criticising the liberals the way they criticize the cons) he will need to hold on to the poly lady.

 Fuck it idk at this point all I want is for boomers to suffer and lose everything they felt worthy of pulling up the ladder for. And realistically whatever party lets this happen is the one im voting for.

He hasn't lost any MP's though as of yet. Yes he's pissed off MP's but the way I see it is that either a lot of MP's are going to leave at once or they will all grumble through it. https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/liberal-mp-react-alberta-deal-carney-9.7208157 . This I think is the biggest thing Carney has to worry about. Not so much guns but environmentalism. If I was those 14 Mps with there biggest issues being environmentalism I would straight up get the fellow signers together and say "Look somethings got to change. Either you do or we are and that majority you got will be awfully short lived." Now where would they go you may ask? Well that's easy. The Green Party. Now you might be saying "Well that's political insanity to do that." Well is it? The NDP does not take floor crossers. The Bloc does but they got 22 members already. Sure getting 14 members would be big for them but they would largely be out numbered. Going to the Green party and they instantly gain a insane amount of power and the party leader owes them big. They would by doing that give the Green party official party status and give them a meaningful voice. Because if your biggest issue is environmentalism then the Green party is the place to go. Now if those 14 people had spine that’s what they would do.

I wanna see this happen only so that all those carney cucks, with a short lived majority, can suddenly turn around and gaslight us all as to how floor crossing is bad. Cus weeks ago they were all about you vote for the MP not the party, Pierre is chasing away his own MPs yada yada.

Genuinely a cold beer or two and reading those commenters now rabidly against floor crossing would be such a pleasant night.

It would be interesting to see those who simp for Carney react to losing the majority from floor crossing ngl.
