What a Joe Biden Presidency Means for Canadian Gun Owners

January 26, 2021 by Web Admin Filed Under: CSSA Commentary

What a Joe Biden Presidency Means for Canadian Gun Owners

[Version Française] On Day One of his presidency, Joe Biden killed the Keystone XL Pipeline without so much as a whimper from Prime Minister Trudeau in defence of Albertan jobs.[i] Trudeau’s refusal to fight for Western Canadian jobs will likely be offset by his zeal to ban more guns from licensed owners in the weeks and months ahead. Trudeau is a follower, not a leader. When New Zealand Prime … [Read more...]

Is Navdeep Bains the Latest Canary Singing for a Spring Election?

January 12, 2021 by Web Admin Filed Under: CSSA Commentary

[Version Française] The Trudeau government won’t go to the polls for another three years unless they can manufacture a crisis to “force” them into one while blaming it on Erin O'Toole and the Conservative Party. So why would Navdeep Bains, now the former Minister of Innovation, Science and Industry, resign his Cabinet post and announce he will not run for re-election now?[i] Because a Spring … [Read more...]

Ice Skaters or Gang Members with Illegal Guns: Who is the Greater Threat to Public Safety?

[Version française] People skating on one of Toronto’s 54 outdoor skating rinks are a greater threat than criminals with illegal guns.[i] “Since Dec. 23, Toronto police have charged 19 people under the Trespass to Property Act for illegal acts of hockey on city-owned ice,” said Matthew Pegg, head of Toronto’s Emergency Management division. Pegg confirmed the City of Toronto will “beef up … [Read more...]

RCMP Entraps Licensed Gun Owners

December 15, 2020 by Web Admin Filed Under: CSSA Commentary

RCMP Entraps Licensed Gun Owners

The RCMP entrapped tens of thousands of licensed gun owners when they reclassified 354 formerly Non-Restricted and Restricted firearms as Prohibited after May 6, 2020, without notifying anyone.[i]  There is no requirement in law for the RCMP to notify gun owners of classification changes even though they put firearm owners in legal jeopardy – a problem we’ve long fought to change. Seemingly, the … [Read more...]

The Gift That Keeps On Giving Nightmares: Bill Blair’s OIC Gun Ban

Bill Blair’s May 1st gun ban by Order in Council is an evil gift that keeps on giving long after it’s faded from the headlines. The Canadian Sporting Arms and Ammunition Association (CSAAA) learned just how evil when a senior official at Public Safety Canada answered a series of questions about the new gun ban.   In the case of Non-Restricted firearms that were reclassified to Prohibited … [Read more...]

Why Can’t Bill Blair Buy a Scapegoat?

Scapegoat: one that bears the blame for others[i]   Twice Public Safety Minister Bill Blair released a tender seeking a company to manage his proposed Firearm Confiscation Compensation scheme. Twice the government’s tender ended without a single expression of interest.[ii] What does it say about Bill Blair’s hairbrained scheme when $78,000,000 can’t buy him a scapegoat?
