One prominent New Democrat came out against the policy on Monday, calling it a massive overreach that must be fixed

While gun owners and advocates are using Price’s comments to advance their cause, those seeking tighter control on firearms say Tuesday’s 33rd anniversary of the École Polytechnique massacre — where a gunman murdered 14 women in 1989 — should serve as a reminder of the lives taken by armed criminals.The team’s owner told Radio-Canada on Monday that the 35-year-old Price was not aware of the 1989 massacre.

Separately, a spokesperson for Public Security Minister Marco Mendicino told La Presse that the firearm Price is carrying in his Instagram post would not be banned under Bill C-21.Article content But as political parties of all stripes consolidate their membership’s views on one of Canada’s most polarizing issues, Queens University political science Professor Kathy Brock said gun control offers a unique dilemma to the NDP, who rely heavily on both inner-city voters and those in rural parts of the country.

“They are putting the NDP in a very difficult position that could cause a bit of a schism and tension in the relationship between the NDP and Liberals, but also within the NDP party.”Article content

Liberal gun control bill raises questions about NDP supportOne prominent New Democrat came out against the policy on Monday, calling it a massive overreach that must be fixed At the end of the day theJagmeetSingh will once again support Justin Trudeau and the liberal government. I’d like to know who is going to collect these guns. Does the government realize how many are out there and how will they account for guns bought that really didn’t require registration and could be sold to anyone with a PAL without records of sale. The anti-gun community is hands down the most hypocritical and emotionally unintelligent group of self-righteous fakes in politics today. Lacking basic critical thinking skills they are afraid to do their own research and form their own opinions. Absolutely pathetic.

NDP say cost-of-living relief cheques not reaching most vulnerableBenClearyNL I am baffled about how many have been processed so far yet I have not received mine considering that I am very low income BenClearyNL The roll out of these cheques has been a complete disaster. I know many on income support (despite receiving their regular benefits through direct deposit) that have still not received their cost of living cheque while many earning $1000's more have theirs. nlpoli BenClearyNL Have those people filed 2021 taxes? Here, social assistance people got them 1st, along with students who didn't have much income. Then the CPP/OAS crowd got them. The crowd with an income around $30,000 is getting them this week. Is it a Canada Post issue or Government?
