Will Canada’s Historic Gun Control Law Work?

It was just two years ago that Canada banned many semi-automatic rifles, while it also imposed new gun control laws that included expanded background checks.

As part of the latest efforts, Canada has implemented a national freeze on handguns, which is meant to prevent individuals from buying, selling, or transferring handguns within the country. As part of the new legislation, the Government of Canada will require that long-gun magazines be permanently altered so that they can never hold more than five rounds, while the sale and transfer of “large-capacity magazines” will be banned under the Criminal Code.

Public inquiry into Emergencies Act wants access to secret information

The Trudeau government’s invocation of the Emergencies Act on Feb. 14 gave police and financial institutions unprecedented powers to crack down on Freedom Convoy protests surrounding Parliament Hill. These powers included compelling banks to freeze accounts, bringing in aid from RCMP and surrounding police services, declaring the protests “unlawful” and creating no-go zones in downtown Ottawa and around key infrastructure.

Canada’s Crackdown on Guns Sounds a Warning for Us

“In Canada, gun ownership is a privilege, not a right,” said Bill Blair, Canada’s minister of emergency preparedness, before referring to the U.S.:

“This is a principle that differentiates ourselves from many other countries in the world, notably our colleagues and friends to the south. In Canada, guns are only intended to be used for hunting and sport purposes.”

This may be true as a matter of positive law. Canada has gone much further in banning guns than has the United States. Gun confiscation isn’t far off. It’s the logical conclusion of the idea that all deaths attributable to guns are preventable, and any law or right preventing it is illegitimate.

But the notion that firearm ownership is a “privilege and not a right” for Canadians, as opposed to Americans, is incorrect. It is a right, just not one protected by the Canadian government. That’s an important distinction.

Marjorie Taylor Greene Suggests Justin Trudeau’s Gun Laws Invite Russian Invasion

“Trudeau foolishly completely ignores how taking guns away from his people makes his country weak and vulnerable to being invaded and easily taken over by another stronger country,” the Georgia Republican wrote in the second post of a six-part Twitter thread on her official account. (Her personal account was permanently banned by Twitter over COVID misinformation.)

Why was Marjorie Taylor Greene banned from Twitter?

Greene’s personal account has been permanently suspended so the offending tweet is no longer viewable. However, several screenshots and quotes are floating around online showing the offending tweet.

Greene has been quoted by several sources as saying that there were, “extremely high amounts of Covid vaccine deaths.”

Canada alarmed as Communist Chinese fighter pilots ‘buzz’ Canadian planes over international waters

Senior Canadian government officials are growing increasingly concerned over a dangerous escalation in aggression by Chinese fighter pilots in the skies above the Asia-Pacific region.

Multiple sources in the Canadian Forces and the federal government tell Global News that Chinese jets are repeatedly “buzzing” a Canadian surveillance plane that is part of a United Nations mission over international waters.

Gonna be a lot of deep fried ChiComs one day and many tears from Canada’s China class.

CRTC confirms internet bill C-11 will regulate user content

The chair of the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) has confirmed that the Trudeau government’s Bill C-11 would crack down on user content – contrary to the government’s own testimony.

Testifying at a Canadian heritage committee hearing on Tuesday, CRTC chair Ian Scott said, “[Section] 4.2 allows the CRTC to prescribe by regulation user uploaded content subject to very explicit criteria. That is also in the Act.”

The Liberals’ ‘Truck Tax’ Represents The Worst Kind of Class Warfare

The Trudeau regime’s proposed taxing of new pickup trucks in Canada has to be called out more often for what it is: obviously mean-spirited, and a form of targeted class warfare against blue-collar workers.

This type of tax already exists on the purchase of larger “fuel-inefficient” SUVs, but also extends to people carrier/work vehicles like vans and station wagons. The earlier SUV/people carrier tax is mean-spirited in its own regard and should be abolished, however, this prior law did not apply to the purchase of new pick-up trucks.

Until now.

This latest proposed tax is a step into total lunacy, and amounts to an attack on the concept of working for a living (although it’s not that surprising to find this coming from the Trudeau regime.

Canadian military veterans play outsized role in extremist anti-government movements: report

Canadian military veterans play an outsized role in anti-government movements, a shift exacerbated by pandemic restrictions, according to a report by an extremist monitoring organization that tracks online activity.

The influence of former military status within anti-government movements is so strong that some adherents falsely claim to be veterans to bolster their status as leaders, the report says.

Marjorie Taylor Greene Proposes Trading Democrats for Canadian Guns

Republican U.S. Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia has denounced Canada’s proposed ban on handguns, while offering to trade Democrats for the Canadian government’s “unwanted” guns.

In a series of tweets on Tuesday, Greene blasted Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s proposed ban, which was announced on Monday. The Georgia Republican said that her disapproval of the proposal had led “Democrat blue check marks & blueanons” on Twitter to discuss a U.S. annex of “defenseless Canada” because they were in favor of “Trudeau’s wokeness & tyrannical dictatorship.”

Liberals End Debate On The Online News Act

Bill C-18 – the Online News Act – will no longer be debated.

The Liberals – along with the support of the NDP – voted to end debate on the legislation.

As noted by Michael Geist, this means that the Liberal heritage minister – in charge of pushing the legislation – spent more time debating the end of debate on C-18 than he did debating the legislation itself.

A reminder (since Trudeau apparently forgot) that Canadian gun law is already way stricter than the U.S.

After word leaked earlier this month that the U.S. Supreme Court was set to overturn federal guarantees on abortion, Trudeau immediately issued a statement touting how “every woman in Canada has a right to a safe and legal abortion.” When Black Lives Matter protests roiled the United States last summer, Trudeau was quick to “take a knee” for photographers on the streets of Ottawa. And now, after a mass shooter killed 19 at an elementary school in Texas last week, Trudeau has responded with a slate of new restrictions on Canadian gun ownership.
