The introduction of Quebec's gun registry was made out by the government and the media to be what the people wanted. Now we know better.
It's similar with other issues. (carbon tax, pipeline opposition, gun control, etc.) Our governments are out of touch with what the majority of us want. They tend to listen to their choice of squeaky wheels.
Polarization isn't as big an issue as our government wants us to believe. Dividing the people divides the vote and allows the elected to cherry pick which regions to appease with funding, instead of doing what really needs doing and ignoring problems that don't exist.
