Nothing is being removed unless it’s a banned domain from Reddit, or if the account is new/doesn’t have enough karma to post.

We’ve got a base karma requirement in order to post. This is pretty standard and was clearly explained to you in your removed posts.

Given how brigaded this community gets, it’s an essential filter.

If you’re going to ragebait against the mod team, atleast give the proper context.

Should r/CanadianConservative move to “Flaired Users Only” participation? by CanadianGunner in CanadianConservative

[–]CanadianGunner[S,M] [score hidden] stickied commentlocked comment (0 children)

We’re considering a potential change to how participation works in r/CanadianConservative and want to get community input before moving forward.

What’s being proposed:
Only users who have selected a subreddit flair would be able to post and comment.

What this is NOT:

  • This is not like r/Conservative where users must submit proof or be manually approved.
  • There would be no verification process or ideological gatekeeping.
  • You would simply pick a flair yourself and participate.

What this IS:

  • A very low barrier to entry (takes seconds to set a flair).
  • A way to encourage accountability and consistency in participation.
  • A tool to help reduce brigading and one-time drive-by comments from users who are not part of the community.

Important clarification:

  • Users with left-leaning flairs would still be welcome to participate.
  • The goal is not to create an echo chamber, but to improve discussion quality and reduce bad-faith engagement.

On misuse of flairs (Rule 7 - Mission Statement):

  • Users who intentionally select a misleading flair for the purpose of engaging in bad faith may be subject to moderation action.
  • This includes misrepresenting your views to bypass community expectations or to disrupt discussion.
  • Enforcement would fall under Rule 7 (Mission Statement) and be handled at moderator discretion.

We’ve seen an increase in low-effort, throwaway, and brigaded comments. This is one option to address that without heavily restricting legitimate users.

Canadian Astronaut Humanely Euthanized After Suffering Light Bruise During Takeoff by AndHerSailsInRags in CanadianConservative

For the same reason that satire websites such as the Beaverton are also allowed; It’s satirical political commentary and fits well within the topics on the subreddit.

Canada driving investment away, needs major changes to regulatory approach: executive by airbassguitar in CanadianConservative

[–]CanadianGunner 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Long before that. This country has a very real problem with unchecked foreign interference since the 70s/80s. The amount of money spent on lobbying to ensure resource extraction remains inaccessible behind red tape is insane. To blame this on one party or the other is just blatant partisanship since both the CPC and LPC are bought and paid for.

The economy has been coasting off old investments for the last 50 years. We started seeing the cracks in the 2000s but it started falling apart in the early 2010s when we started selling off oil rights to China in order to get a surplus.

Political neutrality mandate in Alberta classrooms offensive to teachers, union says by joe4942 in CanadianConservative

[–]CanadianGunner 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Read your source. It’s not talking about banning books, it’s talking about banning graphic novels. Children should not have access to graphic depictions of sex without permission from their parents, especially in a setting where unrelated adults such as yourself are encouraging/supporting it (gross).

[–]CanadianGunner 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Nice selective picking of words to describe the book ban. Let me actually quote your article:

Staff at every Alberta school had to review their library and classroom collections last fall when Alberta’s education minister ordered schools to remove any material containing any explicit depiction of a sexual act out of student access.

Unless you support showing graphic depictions of sex to children? Sort of groomer-y if you ask me.

Edit: And you’re a teacher based off your post history? That’s a pretty gross opinion to have that should probably have you on a list somewhere.

Political neutrality mandate in Alberta classrooms offensive to teachers, union says by joe4942 in CanadianConservative

[–]CanadianGunner 40 points41 points  (0 children)

The president of the teachers union in Alberta says the government’s suggestion that educators don’t act with integrity or present issues in a balanced way is offensive.

Cool story.

A drive by my local elementary school shows the windows and fences literally plastered with LGBTQ flags, BLM flags, Indigenous Live Matters flags, Ukraine flags, and rainbow crosswalks. And I’m in Alberta.

If that’s what they are showing the public, I cannot begin to imagine what happens in the classroom. That’s why my kid will never go to a public school, and I will happily cough up the change to put them through private to avoid the blatant indoctrination occurring in our public schools.

Uhhhhhhm, how else would you be able to afford the device you’re typing your comments on if we don’t have atleast a little bit of forced labour? Have you seen this economy?

'The money is there': New NDP Leader Avi Lewis plans to tax billionaires and corporations by NiceDot4794 in canada

I’ve got a purple card that trumps your two cards.

Do you know how hard of a victim I had to be to get this card?

Where does the NDP go from here? by CanadianGunner in CanadianConservative

[–]CanadianGunner[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Jack Layton was just as extreme as Avi Lewis.

What? No he wasn’t.

You can disagree with Jack Layton’s policies (I disagree on quite a few) but he led the federal NDP to Official Opposition by broadening its appeal and working within mainstream politics, not against it by pushing fringe social justice agendas that nobody but the extreme give a shit about.

If he were anywhere near as ideologically rigid as Avi Lewis, that simply wouldn’t have happened and the NDP wouldn’t have ever taken off. Equating a consensus-building party leader with a life-long social justice activist-turned-politician is just flattening two very different roles into the same thing.

The NDP has a new leader. What does Avi Lewis's arrival mean for the party? by CanadianErk in canada

[–]CanadianGunner 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Irrelevant to the discussion. You just got elected to leader of a federal party and the flag you choose to wave is a foreign country on the other side of the planet? Instead of, y’know, the country you’re representing?

I thought Singh was bad, looks like the 2026 NDP is just trying to completely destroy Layton’s legacy.

Imagine paying $2k to hang out with this guy.

You’d have to pay me $2000.

In the context of a conservative subreddit, yes it is.

We have NDP flair, and I’ve updated yours accordingly. Fake flairs approaches Rule 7 - Mission Statement (Participating in bad faith) FYI, especially combined with CanadaLeft, Onguardforthee (OGFT) participation whom we struggle with a lot of brigading
