The outcome of the 2025 federal election could have major consequences on Canada’s gun control regime. Current polling suggests that either the Liberals or Conservatives will win the April 28 election, so their proposed policies deserve close attention.
The Liberals want to cement policies implemented by Justin Trudeau’s government, particularly the ban on assault-style weapons.
The Conservative Party of Canada, on the other hand, seems intent on avoiding the gun control issue, although Leader Pierre Poilievre has suggested he might weaken Canada’s firearm laws.
