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.

Gotta love how how Carney was elected on being a master negotiator and crisis man and 1.5 years has nothing to show for it and we’re getting ground into dust. Judging by his supporters discourse on Reddit and X, they’re in a negative feedback loop where the worse he does and the more tarrifs we get the more they’re convinced he is a god. It even seems like they’re willing to nuke our economy over this. Pretty scary shit. We’re in a mass psychosis

I think it's a mixture of people not understanding basic economics (people saying we can divest from the US, which is nutty btw), people who treat politics like team sports and a pinch of "we are not American" smugness and there we are.

Combine that with the team sports mentality and everything is a personal attack.

People will turn a blind eye to the government passing draconian spy bills and running pointless gun grabs because they're "winning".

It'd gonna be a hot minute until people wake up and realize how bad they've let things slide. The one upside is that historically this always happens, just when is the concern.

I think we passed the point of no return. I don’t think Canada can be saved at this point. Ironically enough for all the new “Canadian nationalist”, they’ve all but ensured the collapse of Canada.
