Gun Laws In Canada

Trudeau gets tough on gangs by hassling target shooters The Justin Trudeau-led Liberal government has announced changes to Canada’s gun laws. The “good” news is, Canada’s large and thriving community of lawful gun owners probably expected it to be much more brutal than this. The bad news is, the laws aren’t really going to make anything better, and will probably make some things worse. Disclosure: I myself am a lawful gun owner.

Reality Vs Trudeau

Trudeau government’s needless obsession with gender is exhausting I went to a Service Ontario office in downtown Toronto Wednesday to renew my driver’s licence. It was everything a customer/taxpayer could want: Swift service from an employee who was polite and capable. I was in and out within 15 minutes, just as I usually am when I go to such an office every year or two to do business. That’s pretty much all I want, not only from this particular department, but also from any and all arms of government: In my freaking dreams, of course. While the front-line Service...

Trudeau exonerates Tsilhqot’in chiefs hanged in 1864 For generations of Tsilhqot’in youth, the first story they learn is of the historic betrayal by the British colonial government that led to the hanging of six of the nation’s leaders, says Chief Joe Alphonse. Now, more than 150 years after the so-called Chilcotin War, that historic wrong has at last been made right, Alphonse said Monday after the federal government apologized in a “statement of exoneration” for the Tsilhqot’in war chiefs who were wrongfully convicted and killed for defending their homeland, their people and their way of life. https://www.ctvnews.ca/politics/trudeau-exonerates-tsilhqot-in-chiefs-hanged-in-1864-1.3858348 Justin Trudeau...

‘It’s civil disarmament’: Canadian gun owners blast proposed new gun control laws The federal Liberal government has tabled sweeping new gun control legislation, and some Canadian firearms owners are not pleased.

It’s another unnecessary set of firearms control regulations and regime that...
