Top Cops Testify Trudeau’s Handgun Ban is Misguided and Useless
Bill C-21 and the national handgun freeze recently imposed by the Trudeau government is misguided at best and useless at worst, according to both the government’s own documents and police experts across Canada.

Is it because Trudeau and company are … [Read more...]
Mendicino Cares More About Drug Dealers than Your Family’s Safety
When political considerations drive government policy, the results are always disastrous for ordinary Canadians.

Trudeau Kills Legal Handgun Sales in Canada
“We cannot continue to wait to protect people,” Surrey MP Randeep Sarai told reporters at this morning’s press conference.[i] An odd comment, since Justin Trudeau’s Liberal government has utterly failed to stop gun smuggling from the United States or the drug dealer and gang violence that flows from it. “Today, our national freeze on handguns is coming into force,” the prime minister said. … [Read more...]

Hunting Accidents Are Rare, But We Can Do Better
Dr. Gary Mauser notes that accidental firearm deaths are low and have been falling for decades.[i] “Thanks to a strong culture of safety in the firearms community, gun accidents are rare,” Mauser writes. “In the past five years (2015-2019), the most recent years statistics are available, 11 Canadians died each year from an accidental firearms injury.” “This is less than half the number of … [Read more...]
Three Down, Seven More to Go!
Last week’s flurry of warnings to Ottawa were fantastic news for gun owners in Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba. All three provinces announced that they had refused to allow Justin Trudeau’s Liberal government to usurp provincial policing resources to confiscate legally-possessed property from their citizens. But more than that, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba showed the rest of Canada what … [Read more...]
Manitoba joins the party! No Provincial Resources for Firearms Confiscations
On September 28, Kelvin Goertzen, Manitoba Minister of Justice and Attorney General, joined Alberta and Saskatchewan in stating that provincially-funded and grossly understaffed RCMP personnel will not pander to the federal Liberal government’s virtue-signalling agenda. “We feel many aspects of the federal approach to gun crimes unnecessarily target lawful gun owners,” Minister Goertzen wrote, … [Read more...]
