Trudeau Government to Announce Nationwide Ban on Guns at Women’s Conference
Justin Trudeau will announce “a sweeping gun ban” at the Women Deliver Conference in Vancouver, B.C., June 3-6 with New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern in attendance.
Tony Clement dropped this bombshell in the House of Commons earlier today. See the video here!
“I have it on good authority that the Prime Minister has a secret plan to ban legal firearms. Apparently this plan is to be executed by Cabinet directive with no debate in Parliament. Can the Prime Minister confirm or deny this zero-accountability secret plan?”
Minister Bill Blair refused to answer the question.
Blair’s cross-Canada dog-and-pony-show did not deliver the information the Liberal government wanted. Instead, his consultations showed Canadians, at 81%, overwhelmingly oppose a national ban on handguns and semi-automatic rifles.
Mr. Clement said his “very reliable” source is not connected to the firearms industry or gun owners advocacy groups, but to the Liberal Party itself.
This end-run around Parliament is probably because the Liberal Party’s internal polling shows they are headed for a crushing defeat in Election 2019.
One thing we can assure both our members and gun owners across Canada: in Election 2019, we will do everything in our power to turn the Liberal Party’s greatest fears into reality.
