@IanRunkle Why am I not surprised?

So, I have a BFL that allows prohibited firearms. I applied to transfer two prohibited firearms. I was already the property owner of said prohibited firearms, but needed the registration. The RCMP went to where they were stored and coerced a deactivation without notice to me.

@Reil76 @PierrePoilievre Life is bigger than a single Prime Minister, party leader (or President for that matter). We vote for local(ish) candidates who will not only argue with opposition, but advocate for their constituents within the party they belong to. They are not independent.

Everyone keeps arguing with my take on floor crossing. You say you vote for the person because of their party — you want their leader as PM and believe you share the same values. Yet when I point out that @PierrePoilievre voted against a bill that would have forced floor-crossers to face a by-election (Bill C-306 in 2012), the responses go silent. If you truly believe MPs should stay loyal to the voters who elected them under a specific party banner, how does supporting a leader who opposed making defectors answer to their constituents square with that? Make it make sense.

@NoGunsInCanada Now do Quebec... you won't. Now admit that almost 90% of gun crime in Canada is committed by criminals, with illegal SMUGGLED firearms from a whole other country... you won't do that either. Reality, facts and critical thinking doesn't seem to be your strong suit.

Just a reminder that Dani Smith says “independence” but what she means is 51st statehood.

@SpencerFernando TDS!!! You do realize he is an American President, right? You do realize he will be gone January 20 2029, right? You do realize you are supporting the destruction of the relationship with our longest standing and largest trading partner, right? ...over one man. Short-sighted!

@Reil76 We don't vote for independent individuals, we vote for individuals that belong to a particular party. Why do we even have political parties, if we vote for independent individuals?

If floor crossing truly went against democracy, we would not be voting for individual MPs at all, we would be voting only for parties. In Canada, we elect a local representative in each riding, not a fixed seat for a political party. That means the person elected is the MP, and they are accountable to their constituents, not permanently bound to a party label. When an MP chooses to cross the floor, the election result is not cancelled, and no votes are erased. The same elected representative continues to serve the same riding. What changes is the party they sit with in Parliament, not the fact that they were chosen by voters. If democracy meant locking MPs to a party forever, then voters would have no real choice beyond selecting a party list. That is not how Canada’s system works. Floor crossing can be controversial, but it exists because MPs are elected as individuals within a parliamentary democracy where accountability happens at the ballot box, not through party handcuffs mid term.

@SpencerFernando So why have political parties? If people are only voting for individuals and it has nothing to do with any party, we should abolish political parties and simply vote for individuals and trust that they will do right by the people who voted for them... but that's not our system.🤷

Were Canada to ban floor crossing, we would be suppressing the individual minds of those we elect, and further concentrating power in party leaders. As things stand now, floor crossing protects independence and keeps pressure on leaders to treat their colleagues well lest they watch those colleagues head elsewhere. Floor crossing – and the threat of it – protects us from a system where those we elect turn into mindless drones serving nothing more than the centralized will of ‘the leader.’ So, whether you agree with Gladu’s decision or not, it is essential to protect the right of MPs to cross the floor. The individual mind is the most precious resource we have.

@EdKrassen Who cares! According to Greta, we have only got a couple of years left. The earth will burn! ...or maybe she was full of crap. 🤷 There's a "birds of a feather" joke in there somewhere.

BREAKING: Greta Thunberg just eviscerated Trump for his comments about wiping out an entire civilization, dropping multiple F-bombs in the process. "The President of the United States just said that a whole civilization will die tonight and never to be brought back again and no one is reacting. This speaks for itself, what the f--k is anyone even doing at this point? We have normalized genocide, total annihilation of entire people, the systematic destruction of the biosphere which we are all depending on to survive, and that corrupt racist war criminals can act with complete impunity. But even though we have allowed far too much so far, it is not too late to say 'stop!' If we don’t, we shouldn’t f--king be able to call ourselves human"

@rankandfileca Never been without a family doctor, lived in three provinces, been alive for over a half century. My doctor retired 2 years ago... for the first time ever, I have no doctor. I also live in a community that regularly closes our emergency room. Our healthcare system is crumbling.🤷

This is what's in store for Canadians if public healthcare is destroyed and corporations are allowed free reign to run the healthcare system: healthcare for the rich, leverage for employers, and pain for the working majority.

@StrochimT @nenshi Go mooch some shit from Temu.

@CMlastname @nenshi Really ? Dude grow up, seriously your acting like a fool.

A Canadian is heading farther into space than any human ever has. From London, Ontario to deep space. The sky is no longer the limit. We’re all watching. We’re all proud. 🇨🇦🚀

@JeffreyLuscombe Why are you supporting the US? Not very elbows up if you. We are supposed to shun and hate America. I thought they were the single largest threat to Canadian sovereignty. You are so entirely hypocritical, it is woven into your personality. You are a bad Liberal!

Apparently a Canadian speaking French on The Artemis II has driven MAGA Americans (who think they invented English— tho they can barely speak it) into a triggered tailspin. They don’t even know how stupid they are. 😆🤷🏻‍♂️🇨🇦

@alandrummond2 You own guns?? So why the hell do you think you have the right to tell others WHAT guns THEY own. Your stance is very hypocritical.

Anonymous account but I'll give you five seconds. If you think you need a gun to be safe in Canada, you are totally fucked up. The "safer than a doctor trope" is classic NRA North. Hard to be an anti-gunner when I own a rifle and a shotgun. Kind of fucks up your narrative?

@rebeltransam @CTVNews The "Modern Progressives" can't understand why a train project, that go notoriously over budget and time, for an antiqued method of transport that will only span 1000 kms, in a country that is 5,500 kms wide(as the crow flies) seems like a waste of money, that will benefit few.

@CTVNews The USA is going to the moon and mars and we’re here fighting about a stupid train to Montreal. Canada is a dead country.

@NoLongerBennett OK ... Pirate! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

so many red flags

@CCFR_CCDAF @TWilsonOttawa Lies I remember when the government was calling protests against mandated pharmaceuticals, an attempted overthrow. I remember how they used that lie to enact the emergencies act. I remember the lie of "safe and effective", when there were clear dangers and pitiful results. Lies

TYPICAL LIBERAL: Feds say its gun ‘buyback’ missed its target by nearly 50% but most policy experts suggest it was far worse, representing only 2.6% of Canada’s 2M+ firearms caught up in the bans. “It’s typical for Liberals to blame everybody but themselves,” says @TWilsonOttawa

@nenshi Nobody cares what the NDP thinks. Your leadership convention has exposed how broken you are as a party. The fact that you are ignoring the national NDP constitution (which your party is absolutely beholden to) proves you are incapable of achieving anything under the NDP.

We need a government that respects teachers and treats them as the professionals they are. Bill 25 is unnecessary, insulting, and only adds more work with no new support.

@lady_valor_07 Drugs can be harmful. Alcohol is a drug that will literally kill you if you take too much. (2500/year), kill you slowly (46,700/year) total # is 178,000/year. Remind me how many marijuana overdose deaths happen every year? (Hint... it's zero) 🤷

Do yoo believe Marijuana is safer than alcohol!?

@JSJamato Are you talking about the "right" for a caregiver to order the death of the person they "take care of"; against the wishes of the person who was killed? ... don't you think if things like this happen that there is an obvious problem with the MAID program? Just ignore it I guess.

From restricting MAID rights to mandating books/flags/anthems in schools to taking control of municipal codes of conduct… The UCP continues to grab power for the office of the premier and her ministers. Kinda surprised Albertans, esp. “freedom” conservatives, are so quiet.

@krassenstein Enjoy your echo chamber.

I am officially leaving X. Please follow on Instagram:@krassensteins TikTok: @krassenstein Facebook: @krassensteins The toxicity here is unbearable and MAGA is in shambles with $4.10 gas prices. We’ve done our job.

@guyfelicella 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 You built a criminal record for 40 years, gangs, drugs.... You are not wanted or even allowed in the USA. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 You are disengenous at best!

An American organization invited me to give a keynote on overcoming addiction, homelessness, and bridging harm reduction with recovery. I told them I’d gladly help because the U.S. is miles behind on many challenges. However I’m not stepping foot in the USA, not right now, and even with a waiver you can't guarantee my safety. They wanted me in person, so I declined and thought that was the end of it. Guess what? They called back. The board approved it, so I’ll now be doing it virtually. Still making an impact just not at the cost of my safety. Proud to do it from Canada 🇨🇦 and make a difference!
