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.

This ruling is a reason to be more optimistic about our chances at the SCC. In case anyone needed a bit of good news.

It is especially relevant for anyone who had their restricted firearm's registration Thanos-snapped.

And it's even better because it was a 9-0 decision against the current and former governments.

The especially damning part is that it was a unanimous ruling.

Like for reference in 2024 they only ruled unanimously 38% of the time. They had a leadership change a few years ago so there's a lot more 'voices' so it could go either way still.

Is it bad though that I read the headline and went "Which Scandal and which ethics problem?"

It is the Liberal norm. Scandal and ethics violations overload so people lose track. When its a single fuck-up, everyone remembers. When you have fuck-up after fuck-up, people forget. Trudeau's ethics were always poor.
