Sorry to rain on everybody's parade, but I've been scanning the news channels for the last few days and have not heard a single word about the petition, not even a cheesy headline. Anything pro gun is ignored by the not so main stream media.
Political correctness is simply McCarthyism of the left. There's a racist, sexist, or homophobe under every bed.
And not all necessarily "ignored", but "controlled" as well.
The CBC IS the liberal propaganda machine.
This strategy has been used for HUNDREDS of years. Propaganda.
Fidel Castro invaded Cuba on a sh1t raft called the "Granma" with 82 men. (How does one take over a country with 82 fellas???)
Media propaganda! He used media with his charismatic charm and deceit to successfully fool and take over a country (That had police and an army)
The media in Canada is no different and is used by draconian leaders (aspiring communists) to implement draconian law with the full support (or PERCEIVED support) of the citizenry.
You can't even write this stuff.... it's already written in every history book produced.
These tactics are old and very successful.
SO, if you wanna become just like the Cubans - Poor, unarmed and at the mercy of their communist governance... hand in your firearms when they come to your door.
To be fair, Wendy's anti e-petition with about 20,000 signatures didn't show up anywhere at all,
whereas this thread's e-petition has had a couple articles in right-leaning minor publications,
and will likely show up in the majors if Blair actually proposes a Bill.

One eye to the past. One eye to the future. The wisest course.
Yes, utterly baffling, no? (NO!)
The poll only closed last Saturday. However, I reckon that part of the "delay" on this issue has been the pipeline protests, which have pretty much dominated the news. Plus, for the National Post, there has been the death of Christie Blatchford. Once the blockade gafuffle has died down a bit, I think/hope the petition will become "a thing", as John Oliver is wont to say.
My doctor asked if anyone in my family was suffering from mental illness.
"No", I said, "We all seem to enjoy it."

Got to keep our chin up. It wont go unnoticed with such a large number of signatures.
They should be more concerned about Tecumseh with a tomahawk right now than a AR

"People who have never owned or used one claim that the Remington pump guns are not as accurate as their bolt guns.
And the people who own and shoot them just chuckle at those statements."
