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.

Guys I have honestly never seen a population as fucking stupid as ours in the developed world. I can’t think of a single thing about Canada that is materially better because of the Liberals, yet Canadians think this is not enough reason to change parties after 11 years. Maybe it’s self-hatred. The left won the culture war in Canada and leftist ideology often stems from self-hatred.

The general voting population is delusional especially on reddit. Thread after thread about people day dreaming that we can even hold off an American military operation.

Unlike Ukraine and Iran, the Canadian general population is soft… The culture war winners are producing a society that will have no back bone.

These are the same people who were attacking people over supporting the military just a few years ago. They cheered when we kept stripping back the budget. They're happy to go to 'war' as long it isn't them.

Same people who flaunt the whole canadian militia with drones idea, these people don't even know first aid or how to change a tire. It's just the reddit special (everyone's an expert on fighter jets too and trade deals lol)

We can't even get public servants to have proper working at heights training or first aid, I highly doubt PSPC office workers will be able to load a magazine.

hold off an American military operation

It's not about holding them off.

It's showing that we, as Canada, won't take abuse. And the rest of the world loves us and would NOT stand against any aggression against us.

Seriously. The Whole world would not stand for it.

Hard to tell if you are missing /s or being serious. I am as patriotic as it gets but the mass canadian population will not do any standing up. Even if they did, what are they gonna stand up with?

I would fly an American flag and join them, my family and many others would welcome the yanks as liberators
