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.

How did you get all that from the article? It was very short, am I missing something?

The only thing I read there is "person is running for this riding with this party".

What else does she bring to the table other than gun activism? That's clearly what she's there to push

Technically, she should be representing the needs of her riding. Kind of sad when a politician only runs on one issue, I hope that is not the case and that ridding gets a good representative.

There's nothing in the article stating that she's only running on one issue. She's worked as an activist, but the article doesn't really talk about her goals.
