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.

No they aren’t, look at the ethnicity statistics from the last election, it was just about a bigger predictor than age

it was just about a bigger predictor

...meaning that no, it's not actually as big.

Heritage Canadians also voted to import them in the first place.

Mind you, a large chunk of boomers were brought here via the family reunification program. It stands regardless that if only white and native people voted it would have been a conservative supermajority. Just move to the states if you hate your country so much, but I promise they’ll be in the same position as us in a few years

...that's literally what the LPC is. (CPCs are reformers.)

Politically speaking, Canada is usually about 5 years behind the US. So the fact we're currently going through a massive conservative temper tantrum (as in "prevent all of our economic and social mistakes from being corrected")? Well, that was the US from 2020-2024, so maybe "we'll" be over it by 2030.
