Some issues are so big that they point straight to who we are and what we value as a society. There are some that are personal, personal to our lives or to our community.

Gun control, for me, is all of these things.
On a cold December evening in 1989, a military-style gun was used in a shooting that changed us all.

Today, our government banned the Ruger Mini-14, the gun used in the @polymtl massacre.

Today, we made over 1,500 military-style assault weapons models illegal. Full stop.
There are people in our community that have spent the last 30 years fighting for stronger gun control. I am humbled to know them and to work alongside them.

Though the fight is far from over, this step forward belongs to the advocates at @Polysesouvient.
It belongs to every Canadian that voted for a concrete, progressive vision on gun control.

This is real and meaningful action on an issue that helps define our identity as a country.

Today we stood up and said this needs to change, and we changed it.
