Conservatives were beaming on Friday after the Liberal government quietly and suddenly abandoned its hotly debated attempts to expand firearms restrictions through Bill C-21.
“My Conservative team and I have forced Justin Trudeau into a temporary but humiliating climb-down today,” Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre crowed.
It was a “climb-down” and it was “humiliating” — that much seems beyond dispute. But if Conservative criticism was a deal-breaker for this government, the Liberals would have a hard time getting much of anything passed.
