"Alberta Justice Minister Tyler Shandro said his province will not participate in any attempts to seize firearms the federal government under Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has recently prohibited, including so-called “assault rifles.”

“Alberta taxpayers pay over $750 million per year for the RCMP and we will not tolerate taking officers off the streets in order to confiscate the property of law-abiding firearms owners,” Shandro said, the CBC reports."

WWJCD?

These type of leaders turns out to be the best gun salesman these days.

Alberta Will Not Comply with Trudeau Government’s Gun Confiscation Plans

And Manitoba and Saskatchewan are hopping onto Alberta's bandwagon. There's a vocal community in Ontario trying to get Doug Ford in the game too...

"Sask. government pulling money away from federal gun buyback

The Saskatchewan government is trying to put its foot down when it comes to guns.

In 2020, the federal government reclassified about 1,500 types of guns as prohibited and committed to implementing a buyback program. While there are indications that program is starting to be set up, Saskatchewan’s government is throwing up roadblocks.

According to the province’s chief firearms officer, Robert Freberg, the Ministry of Corrections, Policing and Public Safety sent a letter to the RCMP on Tuesday indicating the province supports anti-crime initiatives that focus on the issues related to the criminal use of firearms and that prevent gang violence and address illegal or smuggled guns.

“However, we do not support initiatives that will impact law-abiding, RCMP-vetted hunters, sport shooters, ranchers, farmers and others who use firearms for lawful and good purposes,” Freberg told Gormley on Wednesday.

Therefore, Freberg said the provincial government has decided it won’t allow the use of provincial funds to administer and enforce the buyback program, which Freberg called a confiscation program.

“We’re saying this isn’t a priority to use our taxpayers’ dollars,” said Freberg.

Re Manitoba:
"Hon. Kelvin Goertzen
Manitoba Minister of Justice and Attorney General Keeper of the Great Seal Government House Leader


Manitoba has consistently stated that our approach to gun violence is to focus on those who use weapons in crime, not law abiding gun owners.
On September 13th, I wrote the federal Minister of Public Safety, The Honourable Marco Mendicino, regarding the “buy-back” program for guns that federal Liberal government is enacting.
In that letter I stated the following:
“We feel many aspects of the federal approach to gun crimes unnecessarily target lawful gun owners while having little impact on criminals, who are unlikely to follow gun regulations in any event. In Manitoba’s view, any buy-back program cannot further erode precious provincial police resources, already suffering from large vacancy rates, from focusing on investigation of violent crime.”
We will be bringing these concerns, along with the shared concern of Saskatchewan and Alberta, directly to the federal government next month in meetings of Ministers of Justice and Ministers of Public Safety.

This has finally gone into effect. Ironically I was reading about a self defense case up near Toronto just the other day. Yes I'm aware that Canada doesn't "allow that". Will be interesting to see if they go full-UK and prosecute people who now defend themselves with knives, bats, whistles, etc.

A few more provinces have stated they won't use provincial money to fund a gun "buy-back".
The rhetoric is mealy-mouth defense against a taking of "private property" said with a half hearted and mumbled acknowledgement of Canadians' rights:

"In his lengthy remarks, Cathers emphasized the broader principle that, in a healthy society, it was “important for people to feel that, while they may not agree with the government of the day, generally speaking, the government is trying to protect their rights and is looking out for them. It’s important … to remember that we need to respect what our fellow Canadians value, even if it is not important to us.” The right to own firearms “is very important to a great many Canadians.”

Yeah, generally, hunh?

Property rights, yeah, kinda - maybe... (ask those Canadian truckers about who's property they respect) Gun rights? not so much.

“The change and the step across the line into what has been called a ‘buyback’ program is, in fact, confiscation and is a major change that is deeply disturbing to many Canadians who value property rights. It’s a gentle-sounding term for what it really is: the forced confiscation of private property. For many Canadians and many Yukoners, the principle of that is not acceptable.”

Nothing an early funeral wouldn't solve.

Canada originally had basically no firearms laws. Then they introduced a permit to purchase, restrictions on assault weapons, and limits on magazine capacity.

Now handguns have been banned.

Why does this sound familiar?

Canada's gun confiscation pogrom eneters first phase: trying to determine how much money to steal from dealers.

https://www.ammoland.com/2023/05/canada ... L_CAMPAIGN)

"This phase, according to the news report, will cover approximately 11,000 now-“prohibited” firearms and related parts held as inventory, which the law now bans licensed retailers from transferring, selling or returning to the manufacturers."

"We’re unable to sell them, we’re unable to move them, and right now our businesses have to pay to store these firearms and pay to insure these firearms, and the businesses would like nothing better than to get compensated for this and to get the firearms off their books.”

"Many small “mom and pop” businesses have over C$250K invested in now-unsellable stock. Even if the gun confiscation fails to proceed, these and other licensed dealers will be stuck with years-old inventory that will likely have to be disposed of at a loss."

Ontario is the latest province to tell Castreau they won't be pursuing action on his AWB.
