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.

"Stir the pot" opinion:

I think Mark Carney wants to drop the wasteful confiscation he inherited but doesn't know how the Liberal Party as a whole digs out of this one and says no to Provost without pissing off Quebec.

What solutions would you offer him?

I love Mark Carney as much or more than the next person, and i rack my brain to come up with reasons everything he does it good, but i just don't see any evidence that he has ANY sort of negative opinion about the bans and confiscations.

He's appointed provonost to a position, he's spoken about her and her anti gun stance positively. The only times I've ever seen/heard of him mentioning it was to say it's going forward, call guns a danger to Canada, and to lend support behind it. I've never heard anything bad about it from him.

Again, i want to give him be benefit of the doubt, because image how bad PP would have been and my elbows are up to the sky!, but is there any evidence to believe this?

If Mark Carney says it I'll believe it... But has he said it?
