Quit trying to pin mass-shootings on folks who legally obtain firearms when it has been proven time and time again that folks who perpetrate these crimes obtain their firearms illegally.

Nobody find it suspicious that the Tumbler Ridge school shooting was swept under the rug and forgotten about? Even the anti-gun lobby wanted information of the firearms used but alas the RCMP felt the need to keep the information tucked away because it didn’t fit the narrative the feds were pushing.

Not sure what the Liberal party, or guns, have to do with this article.

There's more than two parties.

Just move the fuck to Florida. We don't need more stupid in Canada. Ecole Polytechnique and the Quebec City mosque shootings were both with legally purchased guns.

We got a House of Commons and Parliament full of stupid, people with poor attitudes such as yourself are a yet another good reason not to vote liberal.

If the province of Quebec wants to restrict the purchase and sale of firearms then so be it, the federal government is responsible for upholding the criminal code and so far have failed to do so with the catch and release system they have in place now.

It used to be called the Reform party.

Canadian conservatives vote conservative because they're conservatives and they're voting. It has nothing to do with ideology and everything to do with conditioning. Much like republicans.

That's true. The US Republicans seem to be riddled with people that are anti the republic in both its founding and general concepts of what a republic is.

It's just a dead brand killed off by Mulroney in the 80s.

The current party is just a mix of Western Right -wing MAGA types that were the Reform, Alliance parties out of Alberta.

The Regressive Cut-Services Party.

And, as usual...Conservatives can't seem to decide whose side they're on.

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 hour ago

they are always on the side of the USA.

Conservatives are on the side of fascism like always.

I'm sure that's part of it but think it's more that they just have to be contrary. They have no policy position on anything except to disagree with whatever Carney is doing. If he capitulated and signed a crappy trade deal they'd be saying he's weak and should have stood his ground.

They're only ever on their own side.

Not all of them. Some sure loves to vote against their own interests.

If you grew up in the more political churches you'll recognize the coded language they use. It's sounds like benign religious platitudes but they specifically allude to stories and concepts with charged connotations.

It's scarier than people expect.... https://streamable.com/2yj2tj
