Total Catastrophe Was Avoided, But Canada Is Heading Rightward (www.readthemaple.com)

Without the influence of Trump, we would likely now be instead contending with a Conservative majority government helmed by the party’s most right-wing leader ever.

In fact, the Conservatives made significant gains, despite failing to achieve the electoral outcome they desired. Across the country, the rightward drift is readily apparent, with Conservatives growing their seat count from 119 to 143 and their popular vote share from 33.7 to 41.3 per cent from 2021 to 2025. Moreover, the right secured growth as voter turnout rose by more than 6 percentage points.

You are spreading disinformation, because it is not true that guns are banned “outright”.

But i'm not though?

Three different re-classifications issued by the Canadian Government. Long story short - You can no longer; purchase, sell or take these firearms out of your safe/lock-box so, yes, i would say calling them banned for recreational use is fair and justified.

But How many more votes are really at stake thru your (apparently) favored pet issue? How many Canadians who would consider voting lib do you really think are single issue gun voters?

I would refer you to my other comment made.

People who have a PAL/RPAL that weren’t too political before their license are more likely to be involved with politics after getting their license given all the regulations around firearms.

I would refer you to my other comment made.

I don't see a comment that speaks to numbers. You said they are "banning guns outright". If you mean "banning SOME guns outright", then it would be correct, but of course almost everyone thinks some guns should be banned outright. But not all guns are banned outright, you can still own and buy guns.
