How libs retain power? Let's see..
Thank you for the great insight, great observances. It does sound as though you did read some of my first post on page 2 of this forum.
Others here with more internet savvy than I have added actual articles and quotes from individuals who stand up for our rights and offer evidence that none of the Liberal BS propaganda will make Toronto any safer but the illusion of doing something to stop gun violence at our(firearms owners) expense, property wise(firearms restrictions/confiscation) and financially(done so with our own money=taxes against us) always seems to work for the Liberals! The 2 billion wasted on the long gun registry as a prime example was pointed out in this thread but it took years for the general public to realize it was all smoke and mirrors and a huge waste of taxpayers money and did not make the world a safer place! Only then were more people outside of the firearms community unhappy with the liberals.
It would be interesting if there are any videos of, or minutes of the consultations the Liberals did with the firearms industry professionals across Canada like Wolverine or even the RCMP/police forces, that we could get our hands on to show the rest of the population that they got real answers but they were not the ones that fit with their agenda so they chose to ignore them. Technical, professional, medical, political, industry people who have all said these types of actions have no effect on gun violence and have been ignored. The Liberals are grandstanding again going after the low hanging fruit of a group they already have on file rather than actually addressing some of the issues they are engineering that you refer to.
The Liberals have no shame when talking about all the great things they will do in the future for Canada and the world and spend like drunken sailors on shore leave ( no offence to sailors meant here, you guys deserve to let off some steam)to buy their next election worth of votes from any group they can secure with handouts! After all, it's not their own money, they know that's all secure off shore, in family trusts or their own charities that they administer or work for.
Social issues are what the Liberals thrive on and they are masters at it, just look at how their leader always seems to find himself in some sort of pile of cr"p he has dug himself into but always manages to come up again finding a gold ring in the pile! The best free advertising a politician could get but here in Canada they run the media so not a big deal. In the US lot's of powerful men are before the courts for things they have done or said to women. The courts will decide the outcomes of those issues. Here in Canada we get, well she has her story and I have mine and that appears to be the end of it? Again south of the boarder they want to impeach a man for allegedly calling another countries leader up to ask for some info on a political rival. Here the ex president of a country gives the Liberal leader an endorsement on international media and that is somehow not interfering with our election process?
Social issues like immigration or cultural issues are very touchy subjects, buying votes off of it from different groups across Canada however is not and they know that and use it like magic!
I find it hard to believe that social media is having such an influence in our lives, the world we live in and how it operates! World leaders have all stopped and listened to a 16 year old blast them on how bad they have been treating the earth. Years ago she would have been told to go to your room young lady. Youth around the world have rallied to her cry and protested and marched etc. Maybe it is these youth we need to get actively involved in our community with hunting and the shooting sports? The only time I can remember in Canada's history that 15 or 16 year olds made more of an impact was when they lied about their age so the could go to Europe to fight the axis forces so we could have the freedoms we see slipping away slowly being done to us by our governments because they know best for us!
I ask that we can be civil and grow together as a community. If you can find the list that has been put on gun nutz in the past of how far reaching New Zealand's rules go, like including the 870 and 1022's talk about it at your clubs and ranges. Get more people talking. I hope the organizations we have been paying our dues to can get along enough to work together on this, our industry members can work collectively and mount some strategies and find some ways of informing the more general public in urban centers across our great nation that the Liberal minority government will offer them the moon at the lowest cost ever to be determined at a later date though. Then it's up to the next winningest political party to dig the country out of massive debt at all of our expense, we the tax payers of Canada.
