EVs aren't going to save the environment. There's still emissions, it's just not coming directly from the car's exhaust

There's a meme in Norway for this where professionals always ask "did you try hiking?"

Seriously though did you try hiking? There are no problems in the back country. Or people.

Not everything is shit. It's just not as good as it used to be

There's like a lot of shitty people even in those states. I love Washington but no thanks.

Whislindiesel made short work of one of these cars, absolutely glorious

I only hear Americans pitching this idea. Canada doesn't want any of the states haha

I'm an experienced drone pilot and that's how I would plan to contribute.

The Canadian Rangers use tikka t3x rifles which we can still legally buy. In the event of war you probably want something that can fire 7.62 NATO as that will be the ammo which is distributed.

Canada is mostly wilderness. A bolt action rifle still has a place in your pack. It is reliable and simple. Lightweight.

What else does she bring to the table other than gun activism? That's clearly what she's there to push

Correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't the last time a legal weapon killed people was the 1989 montreal one?

My hair is almost down to my ass and I wouldn't cut it for any reason lol

Well more like nobody dares attack switzerland because it would be impossible. Everyone has a bunker and an assault rifle and they know how to use it.

I convinced my redneck cousin to vote for Carney until he saw this headline. For the simpler folk the gun policies are their biggest issue.

If the PAL process was more strenuous you would weed out almost all the crazies. People who want to shoot people aren't interested in going through a gun safety program haha

Maybe. I'm on Vancouver Island where shooting is very ingrained in the culture. Our guns are tools more than weapons.

I think majority of city people have a sheltered view of guns and that's why this garbage ass policy ever even seen the light of day. The libs who made the policy obviously have zero understanding of the "gun problem". This policy has seemingly no effect on gun violence.

I would actually support mandatory basic training. As long as they don't make me cut my hair. Lol

And switzerland but I guess they all have military training.

You might wish you have a gun though the way things are going. Tons of non gun people at my work are signed up to get their PALs after this annex talk.

Someone correctly said individual gun owners don't have much impact in war but I'd still much rather have one when shit hits the fan.

And I think a lot of liberal voters hate their stance on guns. I vote libs just because they're still so much better than the conservatives.

Because it's a waste of money. My taxes will have to pay for this.

No one is using legally attained weapons to kill people. Spend the money on stopping guns coming across the border instead, and on better gun training programs. IMO it's actually too easy to obtain a PAL and that should be made more strenuous.

They plan on shipping the bought back guns to Ukraine which is also super embarassing. That would be a logistical nightmare. There's a reason why armies use a standardized rifle/ammo haha. What is Ukraine going to do with my now illegal semi auto .22?

Restricting weapons just props up the illegal market on them.

I wasn't awake when I wrote that but I still think they meant to imply it doesn't make it an island. Poor reader here I guess.

Damn. I really thought Carney would scrap this horrible gun buyback program citing sensible economic policy.

This could be such an easy win. All the data shows that law abiding gun owners aren't the problem. Stop the flow of illegal weapons from the states. Educate people on guns and encourage people to get their PALs should be the approach. I'm a gun dude and would even support stricter gun training if it helps weed out the crazies.

Really weird hill to die on.

Doubling down on this when we our sovereignty is threatented is just straight bonkers. You bet PP will make this a main talking point and it could really snowball.
