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

I suspect with their urban ridings in MTL CMA being picked away by LPC/NDP/CPC that we're seeing a reverse NDP happening - alongside with Quebec Federalist-Separatist ideology only working for the CAQ means their base is becoming more and more rural (& less urban) and whatnot who finally see autonomous policy via the CAQ a goal met so are pushing the BQ to move more for support.
