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.

And he is not going to win over any rural people with this. Damn. I was hoping he is handling this a bit smarter.

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.

I am hearing some people starting to talk about Carney in a positive way here in Alberta. We are rural and lots of farmers. This is not going to fly. It’ll be over with them before he even gets going. Such a shame.
