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.

They are the ones keeping the liberals in power. The party that’s currently trying to throw us all in prison. The hates justified

The opposition is doing their part too by holding on to an unpopular leader. They should have ditched PP at the leadership review.

I mean the vote share says otherwise.

I always love seeing people who despise Pierre and the conservatives try to offer "helpful" advice. Might as well ask the party to dissolve so we can only have one ruling party. The conservatives couldn't do anything about the NDP imploding and the bloc losing huge chunks.

Remember. It is honestly impressive how hard people will try to smear the "other" party despite them not being in power for over a decade.

Must be some great tasting kool aid you've got there.

People need to get out of their right wing echo chambers. Talk to people in the real world, Pierre is very unpopular with lots of moderates even in the boomer generation, and even if it's wrong Pierre's image is tainted with his perception as a lifelong politician and he has been associated too much with Trump in the public eye for enough voters to accept him. I hope he can fix his image before the next election (or Carney does poorly enough to lose support) but right now things are not looking good for us. The CPC going to a clean slate with a new leader would have been better for our future chances in my opinion.
