Seeing arguments that Gun Control didn't work in Australia because it didn't prevent the latest mass shooting.
Just from a Wikipedia quick search:
# of mass shooting in 2025
Australia 2
Canada 3
USA 398
Maybe GC isn't the whole solution, but it does seem to have a positive effect.

Since the various takes won’t die, I will offer my own:
We elect people to the House of Commons and to provincial legislatures, not trained seals. We should therefore expect our elected representatives to exercise their own judgment, and to not be surprised when they do so.

Well done, Calgary-Bow! We are all behind you! 4,000 committed signatures is a massive, unified demand for accountability from #RecallNicolaides. He cannot claim to represent the riding when constituents must resort to a recall to force action on education. He should be worried. #ABpoli #ABleg
Nearly halfway through our 90-day recall window & 4000+ signatures acquired! 👏
We still have a long way to go, Calgary-Bow! Anyone with kids should sign this! If you don't have quality education, you don't have a future here.

After a year of increasingly dire developments at the pioneering PNW craft brewer, last month it abruptly shuttered all its locations, declaring bankruptcy the day before Thanksgiving. At @vinepair.com, I charted Rogue's rise & fall against the fate of the craft-brewing industry it helped to create.
Rogue Is a Case Study in Craft Brewery Collapse
On rare occasions, the beer industry produces a perfect metaphor. In 2022, for example, a high-profile California craft brewery called Modern Times Beer soared up the volume charts, overextended itsel...

What does a man in his late 60s do? Homeless, lonely, no access to safety, no housing. Significant health issues, including bad teeth and chronic weight loss. Afraid of the inner city and shelters. Well, he breaks the law and is arrested.

It’s not easy for Canada to completely restructure its economic system away from a partnership with the United States, a partnership Canada knows… that EVERY nation now knows… can’t be trusted. But it’s the right thing to do. And we’ll be stronger for it.
Will the United States? I doubt it.

I am frustrated and enraged at the UCP and Danielle Smith, for using the most powerful constitutional hammer we have to vaporize human rights for children and their parents.
I am disgusted by these Conservative MLAs. Every single one of them has taken leave of their senses and their humanity.

Today, Alberta introduced Bill 9 and invoked the notwithstanding clause to shield three anti-trans laws from constitutional challenge. These laws deny gender-affirming care to youth, erase 2SLGBTQI identities from schools, and ban trans girls and women from sports.

I love the whole "I don't have kids in school anymore, I shouldn't have to pay taxes that go to the public school" argument from people.
It's the classic "I got mine, fuck you."
I have no kids.
I never want kids.
Take more of my tax money and put it towards schools and not cops.
Thank you.
