The government’s entire reasoning for these bans is to prevent mass shootings. That’s their defence of it. They reference the small number of tragedies Canada has experienced, many with illegal guns which would not be impacted by the bans. Only legal guns owned by licensed owners are.
To believe this reasoning, you’d have to believe that just by virtue of owning them, you’re susceptible to committing a mass shooting, but if you owned other guns you wouldn’t.
It’s literally the stupidest thing I’ve ever experienced. 🇨🇦
They’re not for sale.

Active stock pickers at your CPP Canada Pension Plan lost money during robust markets - "But the strategy has struggled for years. It lost $3.5-billion in CPPIB’s 2026 fiscal years, which ended March 31, and has lost a total of $6-billion over five years." This is criminal. We'll never make it back, these are permanent losses. @JonChevreau @thedave2006 @StockTrades_CA @PassiveCndIncom @MarkMcGrathCFP @Tawcan @rcarrick Many were fired.

"They would not cover cover my announcements. They would not cover any gaffe of my opponent, they scrubbed it out ... They would not run any ad that showed footage depicting my opponent in an unfavourable light ... We literally were censored out of the coverage." #cdnpoli (2018)

.@OurCommons places order for 6,000 bottles of fine wine to “maintain expected standards of hospitality” in Parliamentary Dining Room.
Stocking of wine cellar came 4 days after #Budget2026 lamented plight of “hardworking Canadians struggling to get by.”

We're all enjoying the satisfaction of witnessing the flameout of President Trump’s vulgar idiocies. But we Canadians should take care not to be too haughty. . .
Not parody.
This was Trudeau before he was PM. The two women journalists can barely hold it together listening to this.
Just think, Oxford University, recently made this actor a Distinguished Fellow and member of the World Leaders Circle at the Blavatnik School of Government. How can anyone take that institution seriously anymore?

Ottawa now spends more than $1 billion a week just on interest, more than the entire Canada Health Transfer.
One in every ten dollars it spends is borrowed, and it's all mortgaged against our children and grandchildren's futures.
It's legislated theft, stealing from the younger generations.

Why target old people? Why not cut excessive Liberal spending on vanity projects like Alto ? Why not approve pipelines to build the wealth to pay for our social programs? Why not terminate our unelected, useless Senate? Why not cut CBC's bloated $1.5 B a yr budget?

Canadians need to start recognizing the dehumanization tactics playing out in our governments, classrooms and streets. Never again is now.
88 years ago today, on November 9, 1938, the Nazis unleashed Kristallnacht – 'The Night of Broken Glass' – a wave of violence and destruction against Jewish communities that marked a turning point on the road to the Holocaust.
But the violence did not begin with shattered glass and burning synagogues.
It followed years of systematic demonisation, dehumanisation and the normalisation of antisemitism – enabled not only by those in power, but by institutions and ordinary citizens.
As we remember Kristallnacht – the lives it claimed and the communities it devastated – its warning remains as urgent as ever: hatred does not begin with violence. It begins when prejudice is legitimised, excused and allowed to flourish.

“The forest was shrinking, but the trees kept voting for the axe, for the axe was clever and convinced the trees that because his handle was made of wood, he was one of them.” 12 years later!

“I voted for the budget last year because the Prime Minister stood and committed to achieving the Paris Agreement targets. I was a fool to believe the Liberals. I have repented for being a fool. I see clear-eyed now. They are building pipelines.”
— @ElizabethMay
MP @ElizabethMay in final address to Parliament as @CanadianGreens leader said she felt foolish for siding with Liberals when it counted in past confidence votes. “I was a fool,” she said.
