News / Politics / Activism He Hunted With a Handgun, Then Restricted Yours (4K)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4268wz1fUEYJust saw this video that came up on my YouTube feed. Prior to 1969 I guess it was legal to hunt with a handgun/revolver. In less than 60 years so much has changed in regards to bs firearms restrictions smh.
Anyways shout out to "The Way to Native Chronicles". He makes a lot of good Canadian gun/hunting content.

Gun control as we know it is, and has always been, a diversionary tactic the Liberal party uses to distract from it's scandals. Every major change in firearms legislation can be lined up with something they needed covered up.

there hasent been a liberal government since ww2 that hasent advanced gun control more and more. even the conservatives got in on it a little under mulroney but then got BTFO partially over it in the next election

The liberal party sure has changed this country and not for the better. Just a party of absolute cancer

IMHO none of the parties have done good by Canada. Every politician is a selfish pos and only have their own interests at heart.

u/PoorMansPanache Jul 25 '26
This. Absolutely this. I can't stand this idiotic party line shit. THE LIBRULS! Who the fuck thinks these bought and paid for CONs are doing what's best for Canada!? Wake the fuck up and vote for individuals who represent your concept of government. Voting party line is for rubes!

u/Anla-Shok-Na Jul 24 '26
The Liberal Party itself is a corrupt organization that exists solely to extract wealth from the taxpayers to enrich it's members and their backers.

u/cutslikeakris Jul 24 '26
And Conservatives aren’t? PP has done effectively nothing his whole career except live off our dime, he hasn’t put a single proposed piece of legislation in! His career has been to improve his own life at our expense. Both of the major parties do the exact same bullshit for their supporters.
Let’s be honest on this site at least.

u/Anla-Shok-Na Jul 24 '26
What kind of drugs are you on? Conservatives haven't been in power since Harper and while he had his faults, he didn't print money and embezzle tax payer dollars so he can funnel it into his backers and his pockets.

u/cutslikeakris Jul 24 '26
And what about the points I made about PP, are you going to ignore them? In my 50 years I’ve voted in every election but one provincial election, and across the political spectrum bit if you think you are going to ignore say, the stifling of scientific reports against the supporters of Conservatives during the Harper era as if it’s nothing, or Harper’s own conflicts of interest then I have no faith in you having a nuanced conversation about the corruption on both sides.
Now how has PP done anything to earn his paycheque and housing for the past 22 years please?

Seriously you're going on about Harper?
Pierre has achieved the top spot in his career and has served as the finance minister to Harper, whom, dispite the gibberish you wrote, was leagues above Trudeau and Carney. It's not even close how much better Canada was under him. Only stupid people think that getting to the top of their career is somehow a bad thing. Especially stupid if you stand there and cheer for Trust Fund Baby's and the King of Conflict of Interest, Maga Mark the Banker. Geezus Christ you are out to lunch.

u/cutslikeakris Jul 24 '26
So you’ll admit Pierre has done nothing his whole career because you can’t name a single bill he’s authored on 22 years as a politician?

u/canadianmohawk1 Jul 24 '26
Who says we need more rules at all? I dont find the number of bills authored impressive if I don't agree with the bills being authored. I instead care more about what he is voting for on any bills presented, whether his own or someone else's.
He has spent most of his career in opposition where is not common to be authoring bills since well, your on the side of minority most of the time. But if you want stats, here they are. He isn't some super star, but he isn't 'doing nothing ' either. Rather, he's being like most us, or in other words, a normal guy trying to be the best at his career:

u/WeightedDips95 Jul 24 '26
Even if that was somehow a big deal like you’re making it out to be, despite the fact half of that time has been as opposition, literally a conservative doing nothing is infinitely better than everything the LPC has done. What we absolutely unironically need is for the government to shrink and stop trying to control absolutely everything. We’ve seen how that’s been working out.

u/22GageEnthusiast Jul 24 '26
When the Conservatives were in power where PP was the housing minister.....things seemed to be going much better in Canada and they weren't coming after our guns. This is an objective fact.

u/cutslikeakris Jul 24 '26
What did PP do, actually do as housing minister? Absolutely nothing. He introduced no bills, he changed nothing, and your “seemed to be going better” relies on no fact but feelings about memories you have from the era.
If you are giving PP accolades, let’s list what he actually did…..
……

That’s about all he did other than collect a paycheque off of yours and my dollars.

I remember the average house price was significantly lower than it is now. I remember monthly rents were significantly lower than they are now. I remember crime levels were significantly lower than they are now. I remember immigration numbers were significantly lower than they are now. I remember youth unemployment was lower than it is now. I remember anti-gun restrictions and gun bans were far less prevalent than they are now.
I can keep going but it's sad how much Canada's declined in pretty much every way in the past 11 years. Oh well......ELBOWS UP!!!!111

u/Significant_Step_517 Jul 24 '26
Man I look back on the Harper years so fondly, I didn’t realize at the time, but they were so much better for me than the dogshit we’ve had for the last decade. I know that just because I enjoyed them doesn’t mean everybody did though and I understand that. But fuck, like Trudeau sent us way backward in so many ways.

You can keep going but you cannot to a single actual thing PP has done can you.
You wrote a lot of worlds to ignore admitting I’m right.
That that’s fanaticism, not logical thought.
What actual actions did PP do as housing minister or as anything else in his government career. If he did ANYTHING it’s on record!
Why blindly follow somebody who has no accomplishments over “it feels like” as opposed to actual differences made.
And how many of the things you are mentioning are a worldwide phenomenon right now.

Have you ever heard me say that?
Oh! Another distraction from the words I use that you have no answer for!
Don’t blindly follow emotional politicians. He’s done nothing and he will do nothing- note reverting the gun control was nowhere on his platform officially? Wonder why that is…..
Couldn’t be because he doesn’t do anything and won’t……
Or show me where I’m wrong using fact and not emotions that you probably bitch at others for…..
Follow the proof! Or show me one single bit of data other than the emotional outcry you’ve given here.

Pierre Poilievre was not formally titled "Minister of Housing" but served briefly as Minister of Employment and Social Development (with housing responsibilities) from February 9, 2015, to November 4, 2015, under Prime Minister Stephen Harper. This was a late cabinet shuffle near the end of Harper's government (which lost the October 2015 election). There was no dedicated standalone housing minister at the time; housing-related files (including aspects of social development and CMHC oversight) fell under his broader portfolio. His time in the role was only about nine months.

And in 9 months did he table anything or do anything of note? Or did he ride a paycheque?

u/Primary_Judge Jul 24 '26
Houses were being built, there was not much need for socialist housing. Federal money was given to provinces to build low income housing. Where did that money go? Follow the money.

u/cutslikeakris Jul 24 '26
If a Liberal cabinet member did nothing for 9 months you would have a shit fit over it. But instead you make excuses for it. So the world was so good then that in 9 months PP had nothing to do….. interesting.

Sure. It's definitely just the liberals. Good call there champ, real smart thinking.

u/Anla-Shok-Na Jul 25 '26
All the other parties have issues, special interests, and ideological orientations that drive them.
The LPC is the only party that has no ideology other than getting in power and staying in power so that it can drain the public purse to enrich it's investors and it's membership. It's not right wing, it's not left wing, it's not centrist, it's "say whatever is popular and will get us elected".

Trudeau Sr. was PM in 1969 when handguns became classified as "restricted weapons," so yes, it absolutely would be hypocritical of him to have had no problem hunting with a handgun himself, only to turn around and ban others from doing so moving forward.

u/thecanadiantommy Jul 24 '26
Maybe but i don't disagree they should be restricted we had pretty okay legislature before Polytechnic

Require a higher class of licence (as they currently do?) Sure. Be restricted as-in be prohibited from carrying them in the bush, hunting etc? Absolutely not.

He brought us away from the british common law system with the charter of rights and freedoms. This meant a regression from 'you automatically have this right if it doesn't intrude on that other person's rights' to: 'here is the short list of rights and freedoms that your government happens to currently agree that you can have, but can and will further restrict at the stroke of a pen'.
We lost a lot of freedom with Trudeau 1, not just with handguns becoming restricted. He was far from conservative.

u/22GageEnthusiast Jul 24 '26
He also invented the "Canada is Multicultural" propaganda in 1970s.

u/thisghy Jul 24 '26
Yeah, that's another one for sure. I remember growing up hearing the whole 'cultural mosaic' dogshit in school growing up. Canada was not really multicultural, it was primarily white European settlers, Anglo and Christian. People coming in don't add to the culture, they add water to it and make it less rich like if you water'd down wine.

u/i-Hermit Jul 24 '26
I might be wrong here.. but it seems implausible that Justin Trudeau was hunting seals with a handgun in 1969. And, given that he is not the same man as his father, it doesn't really qualify as hypocrisy.

Bro did you even watch the video? Why are you bringing up Justin Trudeau? The guy in the video doesn't even talk about JT.

No, I didn't watch the video. And I can't help myself. Every time I see anything about a Trudeau I immediately get angry about Justin Trudeau (sometimes irrationally).. but I also have some OCD around the use of specific words. Add in some ADHD, and you've got my comment history.

This is 1969 lol I’m not for gun control to a crazy extend but reaching to 1969 to try and justify hypocrisy is fucking laughable. You know what else was legal in 1969?
Driving with unlimited alcohol content in your blood. That was the year of the omnibus bill
Possession of caffeine in clear sodas also illegal
