The Liberals and the Conservatives just managed to get a key piece of Sustainable Development Goals in place with everyone thinking they won. The two brands have a story to sell their base with the conservatives requiring the most manipulation.
Act one was the very suspect and politically interfered with the mass shooter in Nova Scotia. Did the gamemasters just capitalize on this or was it an orchestrated event? Anyone can investigate that and make their own assessment. It was the event that Liberals used to introduce the ready-to-go handgun ban, much like the comprehensive Patriot Act was just ready to go after 9/11.
Act two saw a fairly weak opposition essentially watch it go through the process with few moments of “hold on there”. They did introduce some main characters that would play a role in the following acts.
Act three is where the magic happens. Out of nowhere, the Liberals add amendments that expanded the list of firearms to even include Grandpa’s guns. Instead of just getting the handguns through the door and then incrementally adding to the list later as the government will do with most policies, they just dropped a bomb on the situation.
One could think these guys are just crazy idiots. What are they thinking, not Grandpa and indigenous hunters’ guns? Was this just a standard negotiation tactic of asking for $100 when you’re looking for $75? To me, it looks more like a piece of plot the conservatives need to show their base that they’re doing something. They’ll use it for fundraising and later election fear.
Act four has our characters standing tall with their chests pumped out so proud of themselves and making sure you know what they did for you.
The Liberal base will cheer on their color-changing bachelor leader for he has started the process to remove private gun ownership. He will tell them that if they vote for him, he’ll continue the fight for the safety, equality, and inclusion of every Canadian.
The Conservative base will feel they made a difference and pushed back. Their leader and MLAs saved us from the commie gun grab that would have us in chains within minutes. They never question why they did not have the same fight for the handgun ban. We have already seen the comments by Poilievre pushing the fear button, if the Conservatives do not get a majority government that will be it for your guns.
Any serious person knows that Liberals can’t go for all the guns in one move. All the piecemeal social engineering and SDG policy implementation have to be incremental so as to go undetected. I think all parties did very well with this and all of the bases will feel they won. This is how these long-term and unpopular agenda items get checked off the list.
