  • I’m mad at both, alas the NDP or Greens didn’t campaign hard enough, and the liberals campaigned really well under the threat of Canada electing a conservative government that would threaten their sovereignty.

    Thankfully, it wasn’t a majority win for the liberals. But I think you’re right that a lot of the existing problems will continue.

    We can only hope that we get a labour party rebuilt from the ashes that can make some stronger plays.

    Also I do want to say, Carney did mention housing crisis prior to the election and campaigning. Just so no one does a “gotcha” on you because of it. My memory is vague but it was still the same hand wavey acknowledgement the previous liberal government gave. So your technically right, just trying to get ahead of anyone else saying it.


  • I hope that if they go ahead with changing the laws surrounding guns, they do so in a clearcut easy to understand manner. I feel like anytime gun laws in Canada are up for reworking they really sensationalise it and it never really accounts to anything different.

    Like one concern I had about the past is what about replica fire arms that are airguns, do they fall under this categorisation? It would be nice to have it be clear and easy to understand.

    I say this also as someone who has always been around guns, and has had a passing interest in the hobby.

    I also have very complex feelings about weapons for self defense. Like it really is true that an armed minority group is harder to oppress. However, I dont think its okay for a functional society to just have everyone walking around strapped all the time. Ugh.

    This is annoyingly complex, and nuanced and I wish I could just go “Yay! They’re taking dangerous things off the streets”
