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.

Carney is following the votes, Natalie is ideological, Carney works to keep the ideological MP's happy so he can keep the votes. Carney went a bridge to far for Steven Guilbeault over climate stuff and he was outta there, party leaders even within their own party aren't invincible tyrants, they need to hold a coalition of people who have similar but varied and sometimes conflicting beliefs together. He could end it, at significant political cost including having Provost, and possibly other MP's walk, maybe even flip to bloc/NDP, threatening his majority government. You think he will take that risk? No chance. At least this initial buyback portion is 100% going through, there was never a doubt in my mind about that.
Believe me I don't support Carney in any way, shape or form (As an Albertan I don't even support Canada anymore truth be told) but I also do not believe he is heavily ideologically committed to eternal attacks on firearms owners. If he was they would have OIC'd the SKS, aggressively pushed ahead bans on mags, attachments, or features, made an enforcement regime obvious for non-compliance (PAL cancelations, cops at the door, etc) and just generally pushed the additional measures that were in the works under Trudeau and poly demands every 8 hours on their twitter. And you know Provost and other fanatics are surely not being silent on it behind closed doors in meetings based on their unhinged rants/tweets in public, they aren't happy with the way the liberals are handling the file now, it's obvious, they have lost the political momentum. I think either they lose in the Supreme court or, even if they win, this program gets sunset after the current confiscation completes, probably with a no-use amnesty.
