Canada General Discussion (2019-)

I think it is a tossup----the Conservatives have been leading in opinion polls for a year now, I see a slight CON maj.

If the LIB majority continues, Trudeau will probably be there for another 20 years---unless his own party forces him out.

How about you Canada?

I know that the British Royal Family are just royals in Canada symbolically, as Canada is a Commonwealth nation, but who are the real Canadian royalty?

The Gretzkys? Sidney Crosby? Any well-known Canadian that is beloved in Canada?

[Suburbia]

I think an endorsement of the Tories by Wayne Gretzky would seal the election for O'Toole......

[Suburbia]

Who is the most extreme member of the Canadian Conservative Party?

Who is the MTG or Gohmert of the party? Do they give Erin O'Toole a hard time?

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and the Canadian Liberal Party are under attack by NHL player Carey Price over Trudeau's gun laws.....Price is a staunch pro-gun activist as well and says that the laws "encroach on Canadians' freedoms"

The Montreal Canadiens organization and goalie Carey Price have issued apologies after Price posted a message on social media in support of a gun lobby group that recently used "POLY" as a promotional discount code.

The team issued a statement on Monday that Price didn't know about the 1989 Polytechnique Massacre or its upcoming anniversary.

However, Price said Tuesday said he did know about the massacre and regretted the timing of his post.

Price published his initial Instagram post on Saturday, just days ahead of the massacre's Dec. 6 anniversary. In it, Price shared his support for a lobby group, the Canadian Coalition for Firearm Rights (CCFR), following amendments to the federal government's gun control legislation, Bill C-21, last week.

The amendments appeared to push the bill further by including a number of firearms used for hunting, a move that was swiftly condemned by firearm advocates and that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said the government is looking into rectifying.

Price, 35, has spoken in the past about the importance of hunting to him. He is a member of Ulkatcho First Nation — his mother is a former chief — and grew up in the small remote community of Anahim Lake in British Columbia.

Also, the gun he posed with is not going to be banning, despite the confusion caused by Poilievre's lies and fearmongering that all guns are going to be banned.

Trudeau should abandon this topic....Price is pretty influential, the last thing Trudeau needs is a hockey star mobilizing apathetic or apolitical people.

[Suburbia]

lol Carey Price is not "influential"

The guy's a perennial All Star....come on.

Trudeau needs to remember that a lot of Canada is cold and rural, they like this stuff.

[Suburbia]

I don't think Canadian Tories are enthralled by the monarchy, they are now in the Carey Price route.....Canada should dump the monarchy and dump the King's residence, etc.

Trudeau says he is a man of the common Canadian, get rid of the monarchy.....

[Suburbia]

It would actually be harder to abolish the monarchy in Canada than in the UK.

Shows you the perils of colonialism....probably the same thing with Australia, etc.
