Guys, I'm absolutely shocked

The @BlocQuebecois have been, up until now, mostly supportive of @marcomendicino's Bill C-21...Until today.

There may be hope... I don't know what to do

Why, it doesn't go far enough? They won't support it unless they confiscate, or what?

EDIT what the fuck, did the Bloc hit their heads or something? Don't get me wrong, I like it, but what is this 180 they're doing on legal handguns

He actually said they shouldn't target legal owners and aren't doing enough for the illegal/smuggling side. He even quoted the Montreal police chief in saying it will do nothing.

Yeah, I edited my comment, I'm kind of in disbelief. This is so radically different from the normal Bloc rhetoric that it's bizarre

I think it's possible they've been getting a lot shit from businesses, ranges, and owners. Remember that the Bloc controls almost all of rural and suburban Quebec outside of Montreal.

I can't see the LPC backing down, but I think its possible that transfers will be allowed like the 90s handgun ban. I can live with that until a CPC government comes in and rewrites all the bullshit.

Daily reminder when we get a CPC government we have to hold their feet to the fire and make sure they don’t forget about us and stay true to their word.

Absolutely. When they have a majority we must put as much pressure as possible.
