I've commonly seen Canadian gun owners expressing concerns about, as well as extremist anti-gun zealots threatening, that a day might come where the RCMP was sent door-to-door in search of newly prohibited firearms. So, let's take a closer look at this idea... 1/17

Bought a vehicle as a spare/replacement beater at an auction last year, no problems disclosed up front regarding it's status. Had a bad collision in my current car recently, and decided I had better get all the little things fixed on the new car, so I could get it ready to insure and register. Granted, I should have checked earlier, but I had my repairs done and decided to get a vehicle information report before my mechanic inspects it, and I now realize it's under a salvage status. What a pity, it's perfectly ready to pass a regular insurance inspection, but has enough other little things wrong that it's probably not worth putting through the salvage inspection process... What a pity, days of work that I shouldn't have done, parts purchased, and the car is basically for for parts for another car I don't have. What a pain in the butt our system is, here in Alberta, with what's allowed to pass for active status cars, versus the lengths they make you go to for anything with another status, or from out of province.

This aligns with my suspicions that the guns were his, likely bought for him by his mother, who possessed then on paper alone...

Funny how the like to use a US source which lumps things like gang-on-gang violence in with things like school shootings. They're just not comparable in the first place, nor are US statistics in any way relevant to the Canadian context.

Priceless... Guy calls me a Liberal, and blocks me, because he can't figure out how government petitions work, or understand that elections agencies are only involved when it's a petition to put a question on a ballot...

No, I'm saying that years ago the House of Commons implemented an official channel to conduct online petitions, because it's not the 1950s anymore. It faces the same scrutiny, oversight and rules that any other official petition has to adhere to, that's the key difference between these and junk like 'change dot org' petitions. Anyone can approach their MP to support an official online petition, the exact same way that this one is being carried out. The 'rules for thee' are exactly the same as the 'rules for me'. And this process was implemented in March 2015, months before the Liberals took office, so it's not even a Liberal change.

What a nice message my government seems to be sending towards the US, while things like a potential threat of being annexed by the US is being discussed... Military planners did their modeling, and have just reported that our conventional forces might last a week before all strategic positions are overtaken. May be as little as two days... With that in mind, they talk of relying on unconventional tactics, like having civilian guerrilla forces engaging in more independent, distributed warfare. All this at the same time as they've decided to push ahead with civilian disarmament, reiterating their belief that no Canadian needs access to any firearm design that is less than 150~200 years old... They're actively attacking the very base of the population who would be best poised to begin the kind of resistance that they think would be necessary to fend off an invasion.

This ban already went through the courts, who ruled out unconstitutional. The Federal government is now wasting taxpayer dollars appealing that decision... Furthermore, the federal government just decided that they would again allow the production of these products for export, which defeats their own argument that they're toxic waste products. It would be common sense to scrap the plastics ban.

My bad, they're not more likely to be struck down by lightning than struck down by a school shooting... They're about as likely to be struck down by lightning as struck down by a school shooting ... (Had to repost to reply because the OP was a sissy and blocked me for pointing this out)

If you got rid of all the guns, what would the next madman or terrorist use to commit mass murder? Guns. They would still use guns. You could implement the most terrible, overreaching, violent and invasive regime that the world has ever seen. You could send agents of that state door to door, to entirely dismantle every home, dig up every yard, and react to every instance of non compliance with a swift and decisive death penalty, in an effort to remove every gun from public circulation. At the end of it all, they would still get guns to commit their heinous crimes. Unless you're ready to dismantle all of industrialization, all of society, thousands of years of technological advancement, to the point that people could no longer work a piece of metal, or engage in basic chemistry, you'll never make the gun go away. At this point, it's easier than ever to simply make guns. Not even just 3d printed novelties. CNC machining is cheaper and more accessable than ever. CAD is widespread and accessible. Even the ability to learn manual machining and metal working techniques is easier than ever. There's more access to the materials, to the niche aspects of working those materials, and to the manufacturing processes specific to firearms. The cat is thoroughly out of the bag here. The bag itself is shredded beyond repair. There's no going backwards from this point and it's pure folly to still think in the terms of the past, that this can somehow still just be reasonably gatekept, and that anyone who's interested enough couldn't just make what they want, even if they somehow couldn't just easily access it through channels outside the control of an individual regime. It's time to look for different approaches, because traditional gun control is largely a relic of an era that no longer exists.

So many supporters they have to hide in their echo chamber behind closed replies. They won't just wait for an election, because they know they'll lose again.

When casting your ballot in a Canadian federal election, are you voting for the party or the candidate? Please vote, comment, like, and share. Please vote, comment, like, and share.

The average leftist couldn't recognize a fascist, or hateful bigot if it were starting then in the mirror... Like, really, they're so busy labeling anyone they disagree with, that they don't even recognize the literal hateful bigots and fascists in the mirror.

Why is my feed full of branch covidians, whining for anti-science mask mandates to return, just because some retard child of celebrities was trotted out as a prop to whine about it?

These people act like farming is still stuck in the 1800s. Why are farmers still relying on near slave labour to pick cucumbers? It's 2025, we have machines which can harvest all of these cells with minimal labour. Quebec farmers apparently think they're 1800s plantation owners from the deep south "who's going to pick our cotton?" Fuck them, and fuck Marc, for all being the kind of pieces of shit who still perpetuate these labor conditions.

Lol, I posted the n-word, plainly, in a reply. X posted the reply. Then within 30 seconds afterwards I was randomly prompted with a 'verify you're human' check... Strange...

Are we living under an American government already? Since when does Canada have Secretaries of State and a PM sitting at a desk signing executive orders?

Retirement age should be mirrored by a maximum voting age. It's not fair, or conducive to a functional nation, that people who basically have no skin left in the game still get an equal say in the direction of the country. (Added bonus, old people would likely suddenly support increasing the retirement age, so that our pension plan would be at less risk of going bankrupt, without us paying into it twice)

Well, I hope Canadians are happy with their refreshed Carney-Trump government, which will continue it's decade long trend of corruption and mismanagement. I'm about ready to give up and leave, which is a tough thought because I'm very tied down here... Trying to look forward, positively, but it's hard. I work a good job, make decent money. My fiancee also brings in an income and we have a young man at home with another meagre income, and it's at a point where we basically just break even. Life is at a standstill, and I don't see a path here to get ahead anymore... Maybe we'll be lucky and this will really spark the Alberta separatist movement.
