Don’t blame Carey Price for our gun-control divide
Until this week, discussion of that question was limited to sports-radio hotlines and online chat rooms as fans weighed in with colourful theories about the sidelined Montreal Canadiens goalie’s battle to rebound from the knee surgery that threatens to end his remarkable career.
The photo is easily as evocative as the promotional spot that soccer greats Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo recently did for Louis Vuitton, which has been seen by hundreds of millions of people since its release on the eve of the World Cup. In his photo, Mr. Price appears to be enveloped in early morning fog, which serves as an apt metaphor for the political war over gun control that his post unleashed.
In his original post, Mr. Price indicated his support for the Canadian Coalition for Firearm Rights, which had been tastelessly touting the promotional code POLY to sell merchandise on its website. The CCFR has taken particular aim at a Liberal amendment, introduced on Nov. 22, that the group says will “effectively mean the end of all semi-automatic long guns in Canada,” leaving many hunters such as Mr. Price in the lurch.
