All the cons I know are obsessed with TruDOPES gun ban, even if most of them don't even shoot or have their PAL.

Average body has 5L of blood, a liter of blood is approximately 20,000 'drops', forty meals to make a drop, thats four million meals. Okay okay, three meals a day, 365 days a year, to make enough blood for one person takes... Huh. 3650 years.

ToxicAcne posted:Is the gun ban really that controversial? Im really surprised that this is turning out to be a big election issue. Being a dirty gun haver. Guns won't make or break the election by pure numbers. There are 2.2 million PAL havers, and not all of them are lockstep CPC voters (some would also be foreigners not eligible to vote). They are also so spread out it would be like 2.2 million green votes worth 5 HoC seats at best. My thoughts, the gun ban is dumb because it bans guns based on how it looks and not how "deadly" they are even though it totally is because of how "deadly" they are by the Regulatory Impact Analysis Statement (RIAS). It also was passed (via OiC) as an emotional wedge issue to pretend to care about gun violence without actually caring or doing any of the hard work with legislation. quote:The Ruger Mini-14 used in the 1989 Polytech shooting? so dangerous that after 1989 when guns were being banned left and right by name that it somehow missed being banned and was never used in a Mass shooting again until it had to be banned in 2020 30 years later. It makes the LPC look tough on guns/crime by banning guns by name but not actually caring if it would make Canadians safer. If the Government flat out said "Semi-autos are banned because of mass shootings/gun violence etc." Well I wouldn't like it but it would be more or less logically consistent instead of pretending that the SKS rifle is less mass shooting deadly than the Mini-30 because of the name on the gun. Obviously view points can change as time goes on, but when the OiC was first formulated it had "guns so dangerous no PAL owner should own them, unless you have them now in that case you can keep them until you die" by grandfathering ownership. It changed into buyback by paying gun owners to turn them in, but also optionally grandfathering ownership. So guns so dangerous to Canadians that no one should own them, could still be owned until you die. Wedge issue

2. To be able forcefully and threateningly to oppose this party, whose betrayal of the workers will begin with the very first hour of victory, the workers must be armed and organized. The whole proletariat must be armed at once with muskets, rifles, cannon and ammunition, and the revival of the old-style citizens’ militia, directed against the workers, must be opposed. Where the formation of this militia cannot be prevented, the workers must try to organize themselves independently as a proletarian guard, with elected leaders and with their own elected general staff; they must try to place themselves not under the orders of the state authority but of the revolutionary local councils set up by the workers. Where the workers are employed by the state, they must arm and organize themselves into special corps with elected leaders, or as a part of the proletarian guard. Under no pretext should arms and ammunition be surrendered; any attempt to disarm the workers must be frustrated, by force if necessary. The destruction of the bourgeois democrats’ influence over the workers, and the enforcement of conditions which will compromise the rule of bourgeois democracy, which is for the moment inevitable, and make it as difficult as possible – these are the main points which the proletariat and therefore the League must keep in mind during and after the approaching uprising.

CLAM DOWN posted:go gently caress yourself, guns are stupid and bad It's great how easy it is to find out what white Canadians really think about Indigenous people when you start actually talking about the nitty gritty of things like indigenous culture, hunting rights, and other treaty obligations. You're absolutely one of those qallunaat who think their traditions are only okay if a potlatch is held once in a while, but when they participate in cultural practices like hunting seal, wearing caribou, and living off the land in other ways you tug at your collar and wish there was a barbaric cultural practices hotline you could call. Why can't those savage brown people settle down in static communities and get their food from Costco like I do every weekend? I bet if we incentivized them to follow your superior urban Western lifestyle *cough*qimmiijaqtauniq*cough* it would lead to much better outcomes in the decades to follow.

I heard the other day that houses have gone from like $200k to $800k in Iqaluit in just the past couple of years, and ghettos near the airport are getting exponentially bigger. Western urbanization definitely seems to be going well for them up there, more wealth is being generated via property value there than anywhere else in the country. It's the Canadian way!
