Is the tide finally turning?

And so much for self-defence being a niche thought. Maybe it should be talked about more (adblocker has to be disabled for this one)

What's your first purchase when the 2020 OIC is repealed?

I have seen quite a few "is Trudeau done" type articles recently as well as general anti-LPC articles.

I definitely get the sense that the tide is turning, I didn't really get this sense in 2019 or 2021. However, there is a major difference to this minority, the LPC-NDP deal. If that wasn't in place I think we would be gearing up for an election in the next 7 months.

I can see many different timelines of when an election will be called. Everything from spring 2023 to summer 2025. If an election is called early I am fairly confident in what triggers it, a monetary/budget issue. I say this specifically because everything the NDP wants from their deal has to do with money for things. If they don't get them, they will vote down the budget.

Personally, I don't think Dear Leader is going to run again. People are starting to see through his "Sunny ways" BS and he's becoming a liability to the LPC.

Having said that, it doesn't matter because whoever takes over won't change their agenda of getting rid of private gun ownership.
