- 09 December 2024
- Context: Jason Lavigne, a PPC candidate running against the Conservative Party, posted what appears to be a screenshot of a comment by Conservative MP Gerald Soroka of Alberta.
- Lavigne doesn’t mention the origins, date, or context of the screenshot, and doesn’t say who Soroka was allegedly responding to.
- TheGunBlog.ca contacted Soroka for comment.
- Key Quote: “During the campaign we won’t be talking aggressively about repealing the gun ban. We will probably just say we support law abiding firearms owners. We need to play down the narrative as we need to form a majority government to stop all this stupidity.”
- Comment: That sounds like a winning communication strategy.
