The National Firearms Association is mobilizing efforts to oppose the Liberal government's gun control measures, arguing that further restrictions could be irreversible if they win again. Meanwhile, candidates are discussing economic strategies, with a focus on resource development in the Northwest Territories, emphasizing the need for responsible mining practices and partnerships with Indigenous communities to diversify the economy.
