News / Politics / Activism Assuming the coming Supreme Court challenge rules in the governments favour, are we expecting OIC #4?

Worst case scenario, the Supreme Court ruling rules in favour of the government, deciding all previous bans were just.

What do we expect? Another OIC wrapping up the remaining semi-autos by model?

New legislation announced banning firearms by newly defined features?

They have had many opportunities to abandon this joke if a program a d haven't. Sadly, I don't think they will now.

They had the means, but 0 motive. Carney loses nothing with his base, and the majority of urban voters if he scraped the program. Chances are people not voting for Carney arent single issue voters. So even if he removed that one issue, he would gain nothing, but possibly lose votes, if he scraps it before the SC rules.

At least that way he can get his sound bite of "at least I tried, blame the courts"

This is my thought. Hes going to indicate to the scc quietly in the background that he wants to be free of this braindead albatross of an own goal that Trudeau set up with poly lunatics.

Then he can say your quoted line and be done with it because its asinine and Canadians are speaking by action (easier still: inaction) regarding the whole expensive debacle.

The less cost on the books that he personally "owns" for this fiasco, the better it plays for him.

And how does the fact that his government made more moves to collect the guns than Trudeau ever did fit into your fantasy about mr pragmatic numbers man?

And to add to this he went out his way to bring Provost into the fold. They didn't do that just for funzies
