Trudeau in the federal election. He had some kind if facial palsy where he literally could only open one side of his mouth when he speaks. O'Toole, the Conservative candidate to be PM has been crossing his fingers behind his back on a number of election platforms most notably saying he would ban all automatic weapons and adding he would then review the categorization of said weapons when he won. This was after he was shamed into saying he would ban all semi automatic as well as fully automatic weapons at the beginning of the campaign. At first he just said he'd ban fully automatic weapons. He's trying to not piss off his base who were bequeathed guns as a wedge issue by Republicans. Problem is it works as a wedge against them. So he had to come out and support some gun control. But he doesn't mean what he says. I think he told some national gun humper his fully automatic plan would be what stands or something. So he is talking out of both sides of his mouth.
