Legault of the BQ has already said his party will be supporting the libs.
That would give the libs the votes for whatever they need to pass and anything the BQ wants in return.
What will you buy when the ban ends?

Yup... we live in a socialist dictatorship flirting with communism.

Way back when the possibility of an atomic attack from the USSR over Canada and into the U.S. was real, I often thought if it could get knocked down and take out all our politicians we would be better off... when you see Parliament operating, yelling and heckling and acting like school kids... that thought really has not changed.
I don't think he necessarily said that they'd be supporting them. I think he said that they'd maintain the status quo for now, with respect to dealing with the trade issues. It doesn't serve the bloc or NDP to align with the Liberals too closely lest they go the way of the Singh-led NDP. Their voters are gonna want to see some backbone and differentiation from the liberals. Not to mention, asking parties in Canadian parliament to cooperate is likely as difficult as asking two strange tomcats to share the same porch. Ain't gonna happen without fighting, and if it does it'll be a VERY temporary situation.
I had one for many years, until 1990 when they stopped giving transport permits. Put it into a Museum along with some other stuff I had and moved to Mexico. Trying to over-restrict guns and yap about confiscating property has it's effects but the Canadian Government obviously doesn't care. It was a really nice Savage made 1928/A1, English contract gun with the crown proof marks and marked "TOMMY GUN" behind the cocking slot.
It came in the trumpet case (see "Road to Perdition") with the 50-round drum, 5 20-round stick magazines and the finger-foregrip as well as the straight Army-type foregrip. Classic piece.
Unlike many people, I always knew that what I had in that gun was something that I would not be able to have forever, so I gave it all the love and attention a person could give his Thompson and I shot it a lot. I loved shooting Pin and Plate on full-auto with it. Obviously, something best done when you had the range to yourself, or just you and a good friend because everyone always wanted to shoot it but didn't have any ammo. Of course.
It was a great gun to have watching Chris George on the Rat Patrol with his. I would have to say the 1928 Thompson is my favorite SMG.
I shot mine so much, I could kiss the buttstock on full-auto. I did a demonstration of that once to some Army buddies, and then one of them tried it in front of his daughters with a full-auto C7. Yes, I heard about that. Split lips. Some of us still chuckle over that one.
I had an M1/A1 as well, but it was not as much fun -- but still, a perfectly functional Thompson, don't think it isn't. It's just that the 1928 has panache. I mean, it just really does. You've chosen well in your desire to have one. I am sure happy I got to shoot the living stuffing out of two Thompsons over a decade and a few more years of rockin' fun.

Buyback will be expensive and it’s been 5 years and they still have no real idea how they’re going to do it. They come up with a plan then realize it’s not going to work and go back to the drawing board. The best we can hope for now is a grandfather clause is added and carney can spin it as saving money. Or the oic guns just sit in limbo for another 1-4 years, which would be the best case since it would leave an issue that needs attention for the next government
There is still a really good chance that an election is called early, before the buyback is figured out
