so trudeau just said that they’re “taking new steps on gun control” in addition to moving forwards with letting provinces ban handguns.

the liberals create criminals out of thin fucking air and the sky is blue.

This is exactly what I expected. I'm guessing it will be introduced just before the next break in parliament. The parliamentary calendar says that the last day before September is June 23rd. I'm guessing the first two weeks of June.

So no national handgun ban, based on this comment. RIP Quebec but it looks like Ontario will avoid it for at least 4 years. The "new steps" could be anything from more red flag laws to magazine laws.

Not gonna lie, living in the City of Vancouver and if I had to choose I do hope that the rumor of an R cap is true rather than a municipal ban LOL. Or worse, they do both.

I can't see Horgan stopping municipalities from banning guns, so it will be up to the whim of city council. Honestly, Vancouver is probably the next most likely to ban after Quebec.

I've written to Horgan's office before and got a canned response back regarding this when it was first being discussed. I'm afraid you might be right, but I'd suspect with the whole museum thing & gas prices right now, Horgan is probably taking a hit and that might give the BCLP a shot in the arm in the rural areas that they lost to the BCNDP.

That being said, the BCLP would probably do the same shit, but it's about political theatre and optics. Or maybe this is just copium and the dipshit worthless COV council is going to fuck me over.

RIP my man i left that dump for AB and damn does it feel good to be among like minded people out here. Lower mainland was eating me alive with all the slick brained media consuming pretentious stuck up twats.

I just have to finish school here - once I'm done with school I'm planning my career on a move to Calgary at the very least. I'm thankful that I have the opportunity to do so, I feel sorry for my friends stuck here. Could be worse though. Could be Toronto.

It's a shame though, BC is one of, if not the most prettiest places on Earth and the only place where you can make a career here is in possibly one of the largest cesspits in the province.

Oh ya, i agree with that. The added bonus is i can afford to go on trips there now, should i feel the urge to go to the ocean or lakes. Better than toronto but thats also a ground level bar to set
