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.

Guess the boomers really rolled out their walkers in record numbers for the LPC by-elections 

Funny how our media and the voters aren't even asking the question yet as to why Carney has had like 10 MPs quit now, he's actually had more leave than the CPC I believe? But nope, still all "elbozos up" i guess.

I believe 6 have resigned or been moved to non-parliament positions.

So about the same as CPC, but we don't see the media constantly talking about it strangely. Would be a pretty big scandal if it was anyone else, other than Dear Leader.

There's fracturing in both parties, but we only ever see the CPC brought up in the government media, big surprise I guess.

We live in a country where people are more interested in holding the opposition leader to a higher standard vs the sitting government.

Its wild times.

Had some friends openly say the cons were gonna take away gay rights and all of the native side of the charter and weren’t joking about what they were saying. I asked where their source was and they kinda admitted there wasn’t one.
