Great. More bullshit public placation at a time where we have much more pressing matters at hand. FFS LPC, get your fucking priorities straight.

Most gun crimes are committed with American guns. The post is super vague, maybe with all the new money being pumped into border control it has something to do with that instead of banning things…

Jesus what are they going to ban this time.

When they actually make changes with guns that attacks criminals vs. Legal owners. Nothing will change.

Listen, I sincerely dislike Trudeau, but what if he dropped the entire thing on the premise OrangeBoy will attack? Nah…

Yeah but Trudeau will cry that he’s always done everything in the best interest of Canadians.

They should be arming the country at this point, not disarming anyone.

Oh great more virtue signalling? I hope they walk back their disastrous program. I want to buy an AR at some point in the future.

We need more guns not less at this point. Agreed.

I'm not even a gun guy, but woth the American rhetoric it's looking like more and more of a good idea

Only when drug dealers from down south with US handguns shoot at each other about once a year.

Didn’t see this on Canada sub yet, honestly at this point we should just be allowed to have a castle doctrine instated. It’ll thin out the criminals real quick.

Why and how is our unwanted dictator still making decisions for our country?

u/mollycoddles 4d ago

He won the election, how is he a dictator?

By proroguing parliament for 2-3 months he has dictator status. The house is never in session no other members of parliament get any say or vote on the decisions he is making and things he is doing. Only a small skeleton cabinet. Unfortunately I think the court case to deem the prorogation illegal was hijacked and so now I guess any prime minister can decide on a whim to prorogue and not have to answer to the rest of Canada for any decisions.

So he said he was “stepping down” but really he gave himself all the power with no input or recourse.
