Today is the day Canada, I hope you all remembered to plan your boating trip the numbers aren't looking good.
>>27620114
pls no
Enlighten us further.
>>27620158
Today is our federal election. The current government can be considered relatively friendly to firearms owners, but the other two main parties are not. The current government is the subject of a very coordinated media and activism campaign aimed at making sure it looses power.
The polls are projecting that this will happen.
Our gun ownership has never been guaranteed, but for the last four years it has not been in jeopardy. Today this could very well change.
I have been dreading this all summer.
>>27620202
So basically yall niggas posting in a /pol/ thread
>>27620239
Potential gun control legislation is /k/ related, stop.
>>27620114
Polls don't mean shit, Conservatives will win a close minority. Next election we'll lose.
Good luck Canuckbros. No matter what happens dont give them a fucking inch
I have my boat trip planned for tomorrow.

Except, ya know, more people would had to vote for them for this to happen, meaning democracy is on 'their side'.

Well look on the bright side, Canada is probably the most similar to the U.S. Culturally so you will be accepted basically right off the bat. Plus I assume you are white which is a plus

Election predictions?
Worst case scenario: libs win a minority
Best case: the left vote is split between NDP and LIB while the Cons win a minority due to a strong loyal base. Greens and Bloc continue to be a wastebin for voters further helping the Cons gain seats.

The longer we keep him in the power.
The harder it is for anti funs to get at us.
The most the liberals or NDP can do is ban our handguns / ARs, considering the long gun registry is gone.
It would be political suicide if they try to make a long gun registry again.
>>27620114
Good luck Canadabros, for some reason I can't help but be interested in your country's politics. You guys have better gun laws than New Jersey, sadly enough, don't let it get worse than here.
Also Niagara is based as fuck, don't let Ontario become Vancouver. Posting my Mosin for support

>>27620114

>>27621784
>It would be political suicide if they try to make a long gun registry again.
They want to join in on the UN's ATT system, which would functionally become a registry in the hands of the UN after a few years. They still want it, but they want to be sneaky about it.
>>27621813
Sorry, you're fucking retarded.

thats all a crock of shit on their website.
>>27621813
No it isn't.
The only good gun policy is to go back to the FAC in the 70s.

>>27621813
Oddly enough i think your right.
>>27621800
Thanks Ameribro, if you ever come up to Niagara, there's a gun range outside of town that's pretty neat, they'll let you shoot .50 cal rifles there.
>>27621813
>>27621979
no, but it is better than liberal or NDP
>>27621813
That's... Actually sorta reasonable...
>>27620971
They'll vote against the Throne Speech, and then ask to form a Liberal NDP coalition.
The way the Conservatives can fight this is have Harper announce his retirement right before the Throne Speech. They'll still lose and a Lib-NDP coalition will be in, but it'll put them in a better position for the inevitable election 18 months down the road. There's no way Mulcair will put up with Trudeau's cronies for any longer.
>>27621705
Let this be a lesson to you Yanks- you want your candidate to win, get the stoner vote.
As for Canada, the Cons need a new strategy for next election- maybe we'll promise legal home growing and sharing or something.
>>27622031
Correct me if I'm wrong, but is that the one where they have a dog that fetches ammo?
also name of range?

>>27622223
No, but that sounds awesome. The range outside of Niagara is called Silverdale.

No problem guys. Keep your stick on the ice.
>>27622351
SVTs, you mean. The problem won't be us exporting them, it'll be you importing them. If all semi-autos get declared prohib it makes them easier to be exported. Then we run into the giant wall that is your import regs.
>>27620934
Buncha Mexicans roll in here like they own the place, why can't you?

daily reminder that after a certain point, it is perfectly sane and morally justifiable to remove a representative from office with force
pic somewhat related
There always the election thread on >>>/pol/53990663
I think our best case scenario at this point is CPC minority with an NDP opposition. Our government will be basically in a complete deadlock, but that's better than the government fucking up constantly.
And the whole "Coalition of losers" thing was tried last time we got a minority and supporters of all the opposition parties fucking hated the idea. That's why it didn't happen.
>>27622583
Except that JFK was probably the last great president we've had.
>>27622590
hence the "somewhat related"
>>27622586
It would most likely be a Liberal opposition. I think that would be worse, but that's just me. In the mean time, if the Cons win, they could start reclassifying guns to NR via OIC.
>>27622596

I always thought this was kinda dumb. Why shouldn't we be able to talk about gun control with people who share your own opinion.

This is Canada, you won't see one side completely cock-blocking the other out of petty spitefulness like the GOP has been doing down south.

I might be because of the shitstorm that would go off here every time Sandy Hook or something similar happened. Aside from the usual pro/anti arguing there was always a bunch of idiots trying to start a buying panic.
I would literally just avoid this place for a week or two every time a shooting happened, it got so bad.

They even do whipped votes for private member's bills (which are traditionally free vote), so yes. We are just as spiteful as our Ameribros.

Whatever happened to Mr.Kitchener?
>>27623253
No problem, bro. Though, take it from me: The grass is much greener west of Quebec.
Rent LOOKS more expensive, but most places here include water/heating/electricity, so it comes out to roughly similar. Food is cheaper, too.
Oh, and you don't need to file provincial taxes separately from the federal ones. Much faster/easier.
If you move out near the end of the fiscal year, you also get a fuckton of money back. I think my refund jumped up 1500$ when I moved out of Quebec (for that year, specifically).
There are more and more Quebecers in Ontario, but they are pretty much exclusively the cool ones. :)
>>27623252
I never said a little gun control wouldn't be bad. But conservatives are amazingly blind to lies and bullshit in the media, when it's their flavour of bullshit. Meanwhile satire making a legitimate commentary is derided.

I still do not get how in this day and age we still elect officials to represent us. Elected officials made sense back when the idea of travelling to voice your opinion was a big deal. It just wouldn't be practical to have all of Canada gather in the parliament building every time we want to discuss something. Now every person in Canada could vote electronically. Every day you get a couple text messages, or emails, or you have some special snowflake account you log into. You read what it says, and click yes, no, or "I would like to propose another option" I agree with NONE of the officials we are being offered to choose between. I want to vote on individual issues, not to decide a couple issues that matter most to me.

they do that in switzerland i think?? i saw a picture that was a card with mulitple boxes and had different "big' topics like buying the new gripen.how many refugees to let in etc they could do something like that
>>27624951
The public as a whole is honestly pretty retarded, and shouldn't really be trusted with direct democracy. Voting for the representative you feel is most qualified to represent you is the best approach we have until we can make an AI to rule over us
>>27624996
COMMIE SKYNET GET OUT
>>27624856
Well Harper isn't doing that, he's been 'balancing' the budget on the backs of public services.
Noone is going to let in refugees without security screenings.
Firearms is a sticking point I'll admit.
>environment and aboriginal women
Plenty of people do, and I'd like to keep our beautiful country nice and pristine. Also, there's some disturbing parallels between the situation with aboriginal women and 70's serial killers. Namely they were able to kill so many children because the police labelled them run aways and didn't care past that. If someone had taken notice sooner, Robert Pickton probably wouldn't have racked up a body count in the triple digits.
>everyone is the same
Yes that's a great reason to vote for Harper.
>>27621602
What
>>27625039
>Implying an ideal AI wouldn't pretty much be Liberty Prime with a head for economics
>>27620896
This is what I want to do if the liberals get a majority, but I don't know for sure if I could get a job there.
>>27624730
>tfw 21 year old unifag who just got back from voting for Con's
Fuck the libs
>>27624889
The Tories don't support firearms ownership out of some sincere belief in it. And there's more important issues this election for me to think being a single-issue voter is sensible.
>>27621622
I keep hearing this. What have the conservatives done to make people think they suck and that they hate them?
>>27624681
They're actually doing a lot better this year, and who knows? Within a couple of elections, we might actually win a seat.
>>27625100
Well the infographic that I slapped up just a little while ago is a good start.
Some of the other things that Harper has done include creating a new office to monitor and report on the Federal Budget. And when they reported on the Harper government to Parliament the PM declined to renew the office's funding. He's also made partisan commentary against the Supreme Court after they made a couple rulings against the government, and while not perfect the Supreme Court tends to be on the side of the Canadian people, and their personal liberties.
The Veterans situation is one I find personally distasteful, since the VA minister insulted Nova Scotian veterans on more than one occasion.
Which brings me to the subject of the Maritimes. Harper is the kind of politician who only goes out of his way to help people that vote for him, instead of governing in a way that's supposed to be beneficial for all Canadians. The Tories haven't gotten much support from the Maritimes over the last decade, and the Maritimes have been made to pay for it.
There's the fact that he pushed through an omnibus crime bill that punished selling marijuana more than being trafficing child pornography, and that the Tory government has suppressed poll data that says 70% of Canadians support legalization.
That it used its majority to push through Bill C-51, which is in violation of the privacy section of Charter of Rights and Freedoms, and has even been denounced by the agencies it is empowering as being unnecessary for them to effectively combat terror.
He has also used that same majority to push through the TPP, which I don't even want to get started on, there's so many things wrong with it (the part about our MP's, and us the people, not being allowed to fucking read it being top among them).
Time to mess up /pol/'s poll
http://strawpoll.me/5780140/
>>27625321
I kinda wish we had flags visible like /pol/ did... maybe just for specific threads.
With the exception of some of the recent election threads it always seems like we have so many people pretending to be Canadian in these. Thankfully most of them are easy to spot.
>>27625429
Yeah flags on /k/ would be good but not sure on ID trolling clippazines and shotties too much fun.
>>27625461
I dunno, while I think people trolling other people for being bongs or other non-burgers would happen, it would let us keep track of geniuses like the following...
>Uhh, yes they are. Conservatives in Canada are left-wing. Liberals are socialists. NDP are straight up communists.
The mighty minds of /pol/ everybody. The only time I've ever seen anyone claim the Harper tories are left-wing.
>>27625528
I'm there for humor and to /k/ shitpost to stir up liberals
>>27620114
For fuck's sake man. I love guns too but don't fucking vote for harper, christ.
He barely did jack shit for us.
>>27625574
And yet the other parties would somehow manage to do even less for us. I can hardly fault anybody for their choice because they're all so fucking bad. I already voted for Harpdawg last week though, my uni had a station set up
>>27621770
>None of this would have happened if only the US had elected Ron Paul instead.
Thanks Obama!
http://www.livenewschat.eu/canada/
Fucking hell boys, 4 and a half hours until we find out. No matter who we voted for, I think we can all agree it's going to be a tense wait.
>mfw Nova Scotia is up first and then I get to watch what the rest of the country does with nervous terror
>>27624061
>>27624119
The quiz measures against the party's *stated* platform.
You may not "trust" the people in those parties to carry out those platforms competently or effectively, but you have opinions that align in principle.
>>27625885
To be fair, anyone who was here over the last few years, having to experience the amounts of craziness that cook off every time a shooting happens, knows it got pretty bad.
/k/ wasn't fit to visit, all it would be is threads encouraging panic buying and lots of arguing.
>>27624730
fucking this
>some aspie at school "so who you guys voting for?"
>nobody likes this guy
>one guy finally says hes voting for cons
>"oh man really? dont you know how evil harper is yadayada truduea would be good for this country"
I'm pretty satisfied with these results because all too often these quizzes are horribly biased in favour of left.
Well gents 7minutes till the poll count starts here
http://enr.elections.ca/National.aspx?lang=e
>>27626121
Fuck its on now the Reds got the first seat.
Watching these election results is stressful as fuck, I'm out of work so I can't even panic buy some assault weaponry, fml.
>>27621661
That's comic's a funny load of shit, cause the RCMP has been going around re-banning guns without any input from any political party.
Nose-in-the-air LEOs are the ones making the call.
Looks like they're updating the Newfoundland ridings first. Didn't realize the Liberals were so popular over there.
>>27626299
RPAL STILL IN THE MAIL WHAT DO! Jk ill be fine still got PAL guns
>>27626121
>libs already have 5 seats
welp time to go buy another lower.
>>27626326
My fiancee's RPAL arrived in the mail today. The irony is killing me.
>>27626326
>stop panicking
And then if they start banning things like you all fear, begin protesting.
>inb4 the Liberals use bill C-51's anti-speech clauses to shut them down
>>27626323
Except the government can call em on it and fix the classifications thanks to C-42. This is part of what the Liberals want to get rid of, so they can only move guns to prohibited. The Liberals only want guns to move towards prohibited, and never to non restricted.
>>27624561
It's really funny how Mulcair is trying to big-tent the NDP when they were never a broad-appeal party in the first place.
Fucking snake.
So who's watching which coverage? I'll probably go with CBC because I like Peter Mansbridge, but switch to CTV and Global every now and then.
>>27626397
That's debatable. While the NDP has never tried to appeal to everyone (even now), as a party they've always allowed the most individual freedom for their MP's, which is the kind of thing that gives them a broad appeal (and more pro-guns MPs than people realize).
>>27626428
The MP part may be true but they also want regulations to be set by the city, fucking over any gun owner in any large city.
I'm genuinely scared
>>27626523
We all are.
>>27626460
Bah, early numbers from a bunch of drunk wannabee scots/irish mean fuckall. Not like they contribute anything to Canada other than an x on a ballot.
>>27626523
Its NFLD no reason to be afraid nobody cares about their opinion anyway.
>>27626460
>regulations set by city
They'd need to make some major changes to accommodate that, since criminal law is set by the Federal government. And the Feds have always been against a shitty patchwork law system like has happened with the US states.
>>27626523
>Number of Liberal seats keeps going up
>NDP starts gaining seats
>Still no Conservative seats
I know that it's super early and all, but I can't help but worry.
>>27626569
its the east though. they're poor and believe in the whole wealth sharing.
>>27626580
This
>The land of employment insurance votes red
I'm surprised folks.
>>27626580
>>27626588
QC ON AB will be interesting tho
>>27620114
is dat airshit?
>>27626613
>auto selector
probably, could also just be a photoshoot for the diemacucks
>>27626631
did you seriously use your air sealer to wrap up your sks?
>>27626643
I just bought it, I'm taking it out right now with Mike from canmore to shoot it for the first time
Cons got one yay
>>27626631
Did you oil it before storage, even without air needs some oil.
>>27626569
Like I said before. The Maritimes don't like Stephen Harper.
I figure we'll see most of the Mid-West go blue and it'll be a minority government for someone.
Reminder that debating between these 2 used to be our biggest concern.
Guys this is the East: they're poor and have no jobs. This is exactly what you'd expect, the Cons will start getting seats once we get to the centre/west
>>27626673
Why would I do that when I'm taking it out to use for the first time.
>>27626597
B.C., too. Especially since they'll be the tie-breaker if there is one.
>>27626730
Pic was deleted looked like you vac packed it for innaground
>Liberals have 20 seats already
>>27626739
That's how I bought it, you don't get your guns neatly vacuum sealed?
>>27626698
>>27626588
>only poor people on EI vote against Harper
>there's no legit reasons not to
Yeah just keep telling yourself that as the results come in.
>>27626742
Seats representing people on EI because maritimes. Nobody cares about the East, there's nothing to be afraid of yet
>>27626764
No but i buy used alot, all my new ones are just oiled and bagged but not vac'd
>>27626523
me too, buddy
St. Buatinga, protect us! :'|
>>27626121
Libs will be in the lead for a while because maritime results come out first. We won't know for sure who's gonna win until BC comes through.
>>27626791
St. Buatinga preserve us!
>>27626805
But dude weed lmao
>>27626766
That's not what they said, Anon.
You know, the fun thing about this is:
If the CPC wins (even a minority), then it'll feel like a "come from behind" victory and be even more enthusing for the supporters. Meanwhile, the LPC supporters which were emotionally set up for a stunning victory would be faced with a sudden shock. I wouldn't be surprised to see a lot of them lacrimating all over the place. Both figurative and literal meanings.
