Investing in Firearms IT Infrastructure
This measure will directly impact firearms licensees, 86 per cent of whom are men. Those more affected will be owners of restricted and prohibited firearms, 96 per cent of which are owned by men. The measure will also have some regional impacts, as the majority of Canadian firearm license holders live in Ontario, Quebec, Alberta, and British Columbia.

What a colossal waste of taxpayers money, and very much well short of the actual costs of what they are proposing.

Wow.
"Individuals carrying bear spray or pepper spray in their pocket while walking in urban areas may be charged for carrying a concealed weapon under s. 90 (1) of the Criminal Code of Canada."
I live in Port Coquitlam and have bears in my backyard almost daily. We have bearspray next to the gardening stuff in the backyard. And take it with us on walks down the dykes. I have a smallish dog and a 2 year old daughter so I'd rather have it than not, but I guess I am still in an urban area. Guess I'm a criminal, but I don't conceal it.
 

B.C. government looking into whether to ban bear-spray across province​

Proposed changes to the Criminal Code designed to fight crime in the urban areas of British Columbia could impact bear safety in the rural parts of the province.

Minister of Public Safety and Solicitor General Mike Farnworth said the provincial government has an “active file” looking into the issues around banning bear-spray.

He made these comments Wednesday (March 29) when asked whether the province would consider a province-wide ban after the City of Vancouver had passed new bylaws around the sale of bear-spray.

Farnworth said British Columbia and Manitoba lobbied the federal government for that change, adding that Ottawa has told the provinces that it would like to make the changes this spring.

Guess Farnsworth wants me, and those like me, to kill all of the ones they "protected" due to emotional parameters...

Getting my order in first thing in the morning. Job requirement.
 
After nearly three years and numerous procedural hurdles and delays, the judicial review of the May 2020 Order-in-Council (a.k.a. “assault style” weapons ban) will finally be heard by the Federal Court! It will be an 8-day hearing commencing April 11. This is the final hearing of the case on the merits, not a procedural motion.

You will be able to watch the proceeding live via Zoom. Anyone interested in watching can contact the Federal Court’s public relations office to request access to the April 11-20 hearing in Doherty et al. v. Attorney General of Canada, Court File No. T-677-20. The Court’s email address is HEARINGS-AUDIENCES@fct-cf.ca. I would suggest not waiting until the last minute as the Court will be receiving numerous requests (the interim motion argued back in 2021 was attended by over 1,000 people).

This has been a lengthy and expensive legal fight but we are finally at the finish line. This proceeding was commenced by nine ordinary Canadians: Michael Doherty, Nils Ek, Richard Delve, Christian Bruhn, Philip McBride, Lindsay Jamieson, David Mayhew, Mark Nichol and Peter Minuk . They have been financing this litigation with their own funds and with the help of contributions from other members of the firearms community.

Budget reveals next steps in Ottawa’s plan to force gun owners to give up banned weapons​

A small item from the new federal budget offers a hint at how the government plans to carry out its buyback of prohibited firearms.

Over five years, the federal government intends to spend $29 million to help Public Safety Canada and the RCMP implement an “IT solution to compensate firearms owners and businesses and safely remove assault-style firearms from Canadian communities.”

According to the ministry of public safety, the funding will be used to create an online management system to facilitate the acquisition, destruction or disposal of more than 100,000 prohibited assault-style weapons, such as the AR-15. The military-grade firearms were banned through an order-in-council in May 2020 on the grounds they have no place in hunting or sport shooting.

The government still expects to spend more on the buyback program. In 2021, the parliamentary budget officer estimated it could cost anywhere between $47 million and $756 million depending on the number of guns affected, the take-up rate and pricing structure.

Currently, an amnesty is in place until Oct. 30, 2023 to protect lawful owners of the now-prohibited firearms from criminal liability while they take steps to comply with the law. It’s unclear whether that deadline will be extended for a second time as the government continues to design the system.

Interim RCMP commissioner would support Criminal Code changes for stricter gun laws

Going against the flow from the vast majority of Police Sources in Canada, including his own...
 
Sad that this government is so fixated on firearms as a danger to society yet less than 300 people die a year in Canada from them. On the other hand over 10,000 people die a year of illicit drug overdoses, but the governments response is to legalize hard drugs and provide safe consumption sites
Typical woke Liberalism.....
 

First action taken using the Alberta Firearms Act​


A new regulation restricting municipalities and police from entering into unilateral agreements with the federal government has been created under the Alberta Firearms Act.

Alberta’s government is providing clarity to municipalities, police services and police commissions about their responsibility when considering accepting federal funding to enforce a federal firearms confiscation program.

The regulation requires that municipalities, police services and police commissions receive written approval from Alberta’s minister of Justice and Attorney General before entering into funding agreements or accepting funding from the federal government to take part in the federal firearms confiscation program.

This requirement allows the minister of Justice and Attorney General to review funding agreements and grants to ensure they are consistent with safe delivery of firearms programming in Alberta.

“The Alberta Firearms Act was introduced on March 7. Twenty-one days later, the law took effect when it received royal assent. Now, merely a week later, Alberta’s government has moved to enable the first regulation under the act. This action demonstrates that Alberta stands unequivocally with law-abiding firearms owners, but there is more to do. Stay tuned.”
Tyler Shandro, Minister of Justice and Attorney General

“Public safety should be the cornerstone and overriding factor in all decisions related to firearms programming. The federal firearms confiscation program will not improve public safety. The Alberta Chief Firearms Office calls on the federal government to put public safety first by focusing on the criminal misuse of firearms rather than on law-abiding firearms owners.”

Saskatchewan passes firearms bill in face of federal buyback program​


The legislation passed unanimously in assembly, receiving support from Saskatchewan Party government and Opposition NDP members.

REGINA — The Saskatchewan legislative assembly passed new firearms legislation today that aims to put roadblocks in place when Ottawa starts a program to buy back banned guns.

The legislation passed unanimously in assembly, receiving support from Saskatchewan Party government and Opposition NDP members.

The bill requires RCMP, policing bodies or other agents to receive a licence from the province should they participate in the buyback program.

Officers don’t need a licence to take a firearm, if it’s part of their regular policing duties.

Saskatchewan is also to require municipal forces to seek approval from the provincial public safety minister if they want to accept federal funding to participate in the program.

Canada’s police chiefs request urgent meeting with the premiers: ‘Policing is at a crossroad’

Canada’s police chiefs are sounding the alarm over public safety.

In a letter obtained by Global News, the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police said it urgently needs to meet with premiers from across the country to look at how to protect Canadians, police officers, and combat a spike in guns, gangs, drugs, and violence.

CACP President Chief Danny Smyth wrote the letter to Manitoba Premier Heather Stefanson, the chair of the Council of the Federation which represents premiers from Canada’s 13 provinces and territories.

He said there are several urgent and emerging issues surrounding violence and policing in the country which need to be discussed with Canada’s premiers.

“In the last six months, we have lost nine officers — eight of them to random violence,” his letter read.

“There is no question that the degradation of discourse around policing and police funding, the lack of accountability in our justice system, and the significant increase in drug, gang, and gun violence have all played a part in escalating the danger for our profession.”

Be nice if they all agreed to deal with the actual issues, rather than legal, vetted firearm owners!!! Seems the LEO's have that in mind here...

Bail granted to man facing gun charges, described as 'high-level' risk to public safety​

A Kamloops man facing serious firearms-related charges was released Tuesday on bail despite a prosecutor labelling him “a risk to public safety at the highest level.”

Zachariah William Lewis is facing four firearms charges stemming from an incident earlier this month in which police are alleged to have found a modified .22-calibre handgun on him during an arrest.

The 29-year-old is also charged with possession of stolen property and driving while prohibited relating to a January incident, and he has serious firearms charges pending from an arrest on New Year’s Eve during which police are alleged to have found a sawed-off shotgun in his possession.

Hansen asked Kamloops provincial court Judge Stella Frame to keep Lewis locked up pending trial. He argued releasing him would bring the administration of justice into disrepute.

“The firearms-related offences in particular represent a risk to public safety at the highest level,” he said.

“And it’s clear that even the presence of pending charges and arrests by police have not prevented further firearms-related offence allegations.”
