When I became a naturalized Canadian citizen I voted for the first time in my life in any election, and it was NDP, because they were the closest thing to what I want.

I honestly want this shit to stop. I want affordable housing again, I want rent control, and I want lease transfers (when they ended that people said it would absolutely show a spike in homelessness, which it did). For one thing that would make me sound conservative is that I want the current bullshit on firearms bans to be stop and be repealed. The Canadian licensing scheme for firearms has been very successful in preventing bad guys from getting guns, showing in that very few criminal guns in Canada are sourced from legal Canadian sources. The worst shooting in Canadian history that happened in Nova Scotia in 2022 was done with smuggled AR-15s from the United States. The shooter had one gun sourced from Canada, but how he got it is a monumental failure of the RCMP... the shooter was the executor of someone's estate, and that person legally owned a pistol when he was alive. The RCMP could have swept in and took it, as the shooter not only did not have an RPAL, but also had a criminal record and a history of alcoholism (both of which would bar anyone from getting an RPAL or PAL approved).

Basically the current state of the liberals with the failed gun bans is both very expensive (and they haven't collected a single damn rifle yet) and highly ineffectively and driven entirely by simple hatred of firearms and sport shooting... and the money continues to be diverted from more essential services like healthcare and housing, in addition to trying to pass the equivalent of the Patriot Act without any justification whatsoever and warrantless digital spying on Canadians and online IDs... it is giving me a headache just to think about it.
