COMMENTARY

Trudeau’s latest budget confirms what we’ve known from the start. His Liberal government has no intention of paying gun owners compensation when they confiscate our guns.

They had no confiscation compensation plan when they dropped the May 1, 2020 gun ban on our heads.[i]

They had no confiscation compensation plan when then-Minister of Public Safety Bill Blair dropped his 2020/2021 Main and Supplemental Estimates on November 25, 2020.[ii]

They had no firearms confiscation compensation plan when they announced the legislation that would supposedly contain their firearms confiscation compensation plan in 2021.

They had no firearms confiscation compensation plan when they announced Bill C-21, the act which would steal millions of dollars from grieving families when police seized the handguns of deceased lawful owners. In some places, this has already started.

They had no firearms confiscation compensation plan when they tried ramming through their semi-automatic rifle and shotgun ban as amendments to Bill C-21.

And the lack of a budget line item for their firearms confiscation compensation plan in their 2023 budget proves they STILL have no firearms confiscation compensation plan today.

But some well-connected Liberal-supporting IT company will snap up the lion’s share of the $29 million budgeted “for Public Safety Canada and the RCMP to implement an IM/IT solution to compensate firearms owners and businesses and safely remove assault-style firearms from Canadian communities.”

Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino audaciously claims this is proof that “We’ll soon begin a buyback program to get them off our streets.”[iii]

No you won’t. Your own budget (once again) proves this louder than any virtue-signalling hogwash from the minister.

Trudeau’s government gleefully allocated $530 million for “Temporary Lodgings for Asylum Seekers in Need of Shelter” and another $469 million for “Healthcare Support for Asylum Claimants and Refugees.”

Perhaps so they could claim they did NOT spend a billion dollars on illegal border crossers?

There is not one penny for private property this federal government insists it will confiscate, by force if necessary, from its lawful owners.


Mass Casualty Report to the Rescue?

Like Justin Trudeau’s Liberal government, the Mass Casualty Commission’s final report continuously ignores the fact the Nova Scotia mass murderer did not have a firearms licence, and he acquired all his firearms and ammunition illegally.

The report decries the lack of a “regulatory mechanism to track or limit personal stockpiling of ammunition” while disregarding the fact that this had no bearing on the mass murder’s actions.[iv]

The Nova Scotia mass murderer ignored every other law pertaining to firearm ownership and use, but an ammunition limit would have miraculously stopped him from murdering 22 people? 

Without question, this calls the credibility of the MCC recommendations into extreme doubt. These recommendations appear to be a thinly veiled attempt to further Justin Trudeau's “ban everything” strategy.

Recommendation C.21 asks the federal government to:

  • “prohibit all semi-automatic handguns and all semi-automatic rifles and shotguns that discharge centre-fire ammunition and that are designed to accept detachable magazines with capacities of more than five rounds”

  • “prohibit the use of a magazine with more that five rounds...”

  • “establish limits on the stockpiling of ammunition by individual firearms owners”

(By the way, there are already ammunition limits. They are contained in the Explosives Act, not the Firearms Act - ED)

Perhaps the most laughable recommendation is one that Justin Trudeau’s Liberal government flatly refuses to implement: “take steps to rapidly reduce the number of prohibited semi-automatic firearms in circulation in Canada.”

Banning guns is easy.

Collecting them from their lawful owners (those who are licensed to own firearms and who registered their guns) constitutionally requires a Firearms Confiscation Compensation Program – the very program this government refuses to create, let alone fund.

But virtue-signalling with a $29 million slush fund? That’s Liberal politics 101. Of course there’s money for that.

On March 28, 2023, Marco Mendicino claimed:

“#Budget2023 lays the groundwork for this program with $29M for an IT platform that it will use.”[v]

Key word: “groundwork.”

There is no plan.

There is no money.

But there are great big steaming piles of Liberal lies claiming the exact opposite of their actions.

Even PolySeSouvient is sick of the Trudeau government's endless lies about the Firearms Confiscation Compensation Program.

The #AR15 was banned in 🇨🇦 in May 2020. The @liberal_party was twice elected on a promise to buyback newly prohibited assault weapons. The 2yr amnesty has long been exceeded & extended. It'll soon be 3 years since ban, & still no roll out of buyback program.”[vi]

And then four years since the ban… and five years since the ban…

Because this Liberal government never intended to pay compensation for private property it will steal from ordinary, honest Canadians.

This should be crystal clear by now… even to PolySeSouvient.

Subject: Hang on to the seat of your pants, the ride is about to begin.

Trudeau has the NDP in his pocket to pass anything he likes, and his mind is on your hunting rifles.

Norman W.
March 29, 2023
Subject: Doctors

If they were sincere about preventing unnecessary deaths, they'd focus on medical malpractice deaths, arguably in the order of 40,000 per annum in Canada. Perhaps the anti-gun advocates in their ranks would be willing to share with us their diligent efforts on this issue to date. I'll wait.

Dave C.
March 24, 2023
Subject: Red Herrings of Provincial Firearms Acts

I think we need to understand and accept that any provincial firearms act will not be helpful in the long run. It will not over rule, supersede, or mitigate federal legislation in any way. No matter what our provincial leaders say, there is no political incentive for them to do anything to stop further restrictive federal legislation or stop the proposed confiscation plans. 

Does anyone believe preventing firearm confiscation and allowing the use of prohibited firearms for the law abiding is a hill our MLAs or MPPs want to die on?

Remember too that the much discussed and pending, or newly enacted, provincial legislation simply amounts to further regulation of legal firearms owners. Additional regulation, no matter how it is worded, is not a good thing. All of it is a red herring. 

The only long-term solution is to vote the ignorant tyrants out of office and never let their kind regain power over us. On this, there is much work to do. 

Jeff C.

ED - The use of clever provincial legislation to circumvent the Fed's actions should not be discounted so easily. Not only can it make implementation difficult, but it sends a loud, clear message that huge differences of opinion exist in Canada regarding firearms.
March 21, 2023
Subject: Answering why

The answer to the question of why repeat offenders are not in jail is so simple that one wonders whether or not those asking it are either dirt stupid or really Liberals.

Law-abiding citizens offer no employment opportunities for government employees.

The government needs to hire people to keep the unemployment numbers lower than they would otherwise be.

When crime is rampant, mostly because criminals are allowed to roam and commit crimes at will, governments need to hire more police, more crown attorneys, more court reporters, more judges, probably more social workers, more psychologists, more public defenders and the list goes on. If criminals are locked up, all those jobs, correction, since none of those people really do anything, let's call them positions disappear.

If you understand the above, then you have a functioning brain. If you don't, then don't forget to vote NDP.

Thom

Australian firearms registry ‘knee jerk’ response from government

“There’s no suggestion though that somehow a national register would have stopped this tragic event.

“There is already a register of guns in Queensland and these individuals were in Queensland the whole time these issues were arising and the register didn’t stop it“.
