They have no intention of starting buyback before election IMO. They want to make the Cons look bad if they rescind the bans or spend a billion on forced buyback.

The Cons aren't going to look bad if they rescind the law, they will look like they are rational sensible people. Nobody really thinks this is going to keep Canadians safer than they are now, only the criminals will have guns.

Oh, it’s not the rescinding per se. it’s the never ending Liberal news bites afterwards a la “they don’t care for your safety!” And “this conservatives are just like the gun loving Americans!”

There is actually a ton of small bore .22LR rimfire rifles on the ban list. So they did ban nearly every model... including the smallest calibre.

True, I suppose not banning virtually every 22LR made me misspeak.

The Conservatives are going to use common sense to say spending billions of taxpayer dollars to buy back firearms of law abiding citizens makes absolutely no sense.

And the proof is the Liberals did not buy back any weapons they deemed too dangerous for Canadians to own.

It was Trudeau who stated we have a gun culture in Canada and he would never take firearms away from law abiding citizens. Oh how the lies pile up.

What if even the Liberals want this all to be over, without voting themselves out, but the other parties are keeping them in power to make them go down as the most disliked Canadian political party in history?

They are free to call an election any time, they do not need to fall in a vote.

Although, I didn’t say Trudeau wants it to be over.

He alone must ask the GG to dissolve government, I think?

I'm not sure if his party has a formal mechanism to take him out (like a mandatory leadership review), but if the majority of his cabinet resigned, he would be forced to quit as leader. This happened in the UK (to Boris).

I feel like the ministers are out of steam. The public appearances are no longer full of promise. They’d like to go on vacation, I think.

Even Hotel Mike gave up!
