He wants to play to his base. Canadian licensed gun owners are overwhelmingly not the problem.

US border porosity is.

This is a wedge issue. Cons lock up the gun vote which is larger than you think, especially in rural areas.

The Libs lockup the antigun vote popular in urban areas and especially Québec.

Both parties have abandoned "good government" policies, with over and under reach respectively while ignoring the real issues.

If you want to tackle gun crime, that 2 billion Fentanyl Czar and Hellicopter patrol needs to be chasing drugs AND guns. It's the same people, using sthe same methods. We also need to build more prisons and jails so violent offenders don't get the "commit another crime while on bail from the last one".

Libs and Cons need to stop playing wedge politics and do their duty to grounded, evidence based legislation that doesn't flip flop and turn innocent gun owners into paper criminals or wastr money buying back legally acquired guns that were never used in crimes or by criminals.

Right. The entire GOP needs to be in prison.

No one will stick their neck out for the US. Trump must step down and return sanity to America. This doesn't fix relations, but it may signal the begining of a return to a healing position. Over a very long time, 50 years, the US may gradually recover some of that lost trust.

Hard to earn. Easy to lose. Even harder to win back. America, you played yourself.

That's not an "or". I said scale one to the other. Build as many houses as you can. It still holds true.

A lot of good people need to make the switch.

This deep into a housing crisis and a cost of living crisis, you have to cap immigration to housing completion - natural growth rate. Otherwise you will just exacerbate the issues, and we'll never get ahead.

Just voted. Lineups were slim to none. 15 minutes and done.

Trump: I'll trade you a shitshow of stupidity and backstabbing friends while rivals watch me smear shit on my face and I blow my enemies. In exchange I burn my country to the ground for no reason.

China: Deal

Americans: Deal

Russians: Deal

Rest of the world: WTF!!! Ah, fuckit. Deal.

It's a largely hollow threat. The US doesn't have the talent to absorb these businesses operations and they can't import talent because not a lot educated talented people want to live in a fascist shithole where the local shooting range is your kids school, and you'll get deported to a foreign prison.

America's pull of global talent is now a push. Academics and MDs are fleeing a country that is self immolating.

The DNC is captured opposition. AOC should run for President, under a new party. All non captured Dems need to join that party.
