No, ban all privately owned firearms

 @98FMVVJNew Democraticfrom Alberta  answered…2yrs2Y

Hire guards but still don’t introduce firearms

 @9GZ8BL3New Democraticfrom Ontario  answered…1yr1Y

No, any firearms not for hunting should be outlawed in Canada. If there are no guns, there is much less need for a gun.

 @93RH9D8New Democraticfrom Ontario  answered…3yrs3Y

depends on where the school is and they should have a licence and mental tests done to see if they are capeable of carrying a gun

 @8W4BGQ5New Democraticfrom British Columbia  answered…4yrs4Y

No! Are you kidding me?!?!? How is this even a question?!?!? No guns at all should be allowed in Canada!

 @8V8LQD4New Democraticfrom Ontario  answered…4yrs4Y

It is teachers jobs to teach and educate our children. They don’t even get paid enough for that. Why would we put more responsibility on them.

  @LeftAnglicanNew Democraticfrom Manitoba  answered…4yrs4Y

Absolutely not. All this would do is create a culture of fear in schools and society

 @8QQGDNLfrom Newfoundland  answered…4yrs4Y

No, unless there is a trained teacher

 @ZaneThind17New Democraticfrom British Columbia  answered…4yrs4Y

I would say only in the worst situations possible like there's a rapist in the school or a serial killer in school.

 @9BJ887SNew Democraticfrom Ontario  answered…2yrs2Y

No, and tighten gun restrictions. This isn’t the U.S.

Kamala Harris is considering running for president again in 2028

Kamala Harris has been lying low since her defeat in the presidential race, unwinding with family and senior aides in Hawaii before heading back to the nation’s capital.But privately, the vice president has been instructing advisers and allies to keep her options open — whether for a possible 2028 presidential run, or even to run for governor in her home state of California in two years. As Harris has repeated in phone calls, “I am staying in the fight.”She is expected to explore those and other possible paths forward with family members over the winter holiday season, according to five people in the Harris inner circle, who were granted anonymity to discuss internal dynamics. Her deliberations follow an extraordinary four months in which Harris went from President Joe Biden’s running mate to the top of the ticket, reenergizing Democrats before ultimately crashing on election night.“She doesn’t have to decide if she wants to run for something again in the next six months,” said one former Harris campaign aide. “The natural thing to do would be to set up some type of entity that would give her the opportunity to travel and give speeches and preserve her political relationships.”“She doesn’t have to decide if she wants to run for something again in the next six months,” said one former Harris campaign aide. “The natural thing to do would be to set up some type of entity that would give her the opportunity to travel and give speeches and preserve her political relationships.”Harris concedes: 'We must accept the results of this election'SharePlay VideoMost immediately, Harris and her advisers are working to define how and when she will speak out against Donald Trump and reassert her own role in the Democratic Party. Closing out her term as vice president, she’s set to preside over certifying the November election she lost to Trump, and then appear at the once-and-future president’s inauguration on Jan. 20.“There will be a desire to hear her voice, and there won’t be a vacuum for long,” a person close to Harris said.At the same time, Harris and her husband, Doug Emhoff, will have a long checklist to plow through before they leave the Naval Observatory for good.They have to decide whether they’ll take up permanent residence at their home in Los Angeles, or establish a base elsewhere. No matter where Harris and her family live, some around her have expressed concerns about safety, as her Secret Service protection expires six months after stepping away.
