Gun control group warns of Liberal ‘inaction’ ahead of Polytechnique anniversary

On Nov. 15, 2025 PolySeSouvient wrote to Prime Minister Mark Carney saying it would be `disingenuous and even hypocritical` for Liberal MPs to wear white ribbons before Dec. 6.
Since May 2020 Ottawa has moved to outlaw battlefield-style firearms, yet the semi-automatic SKS was not among banned guns and classification talks continued into September.
Marking the 1989 massacre, advocates pressed for specific SKS measures as PolySeSouvient, formed after the École Polytechnique massacre that killed 14 women, calls for a ban and buyback amid Indigenous hunting concerns.
Over 50 women's groups say the Carney-led Liberals failed to implement firearm-related domestic violence measures from legislation enacted almost two years ago, while the government says its buyback program offers fair compensation.
Public-Interest arguments sit alongside calls to protect Indigenous hunting practices as PolySeSouvient warns an incomplete ban would leave assault weapons legally available and advocates an SKS exemption for Indigenous hunters.
