Last week, Statistics Canada released the numbers from the 2022 Unified Crime Reporting survey and found that crime has risen from 2020 to 2022 by 5.3 percent, with violent crime specifically going up 9 percent nationwide.
The good thing to come out of the O’Toole era of the Conservative Party is that the current CPC leader, Pierre Poilievre, has seemed to have learned the right lessons. Polievre has taken a strong stand in favour of firearms rights while also expanding the image of what responsible gun ownership looks like.
Over the last 40 years, we’ve seen an increasing disregard on behalf of the government when it comes to fundamental rights. Whether it’s property rights, free speech, or the completely reasonable idea that you can defend yourself from violent attacks, the government seems to put a significant amount of effort into convincing people they shouldn’t have any rights at all. Unfortunately, many Canadians now agree with the government on this topic.
Documents, from 2019, provided to Burlew by a crown prosecutor with regard to a case he is currently working on behalf of a client, appear to contain information that could only have been obtained through the registry.
This past Friday, Justin Trudeau spoke out regarding a letter from gun control advocate group PolySeSouvient (PolyRemembers), a group with close ties to Ecole Polytechnique which, as most Canadians certainly remember, was the site of a gruesome mass shooting in 1989.
As it can be seen in Erin O’Toole’s answer to Lawton’s question and follow up clarifying question, O’Toole mainly focused on Trudeau and the Liberals being “misleading” or “dividing” Canadians and “blaming” law-abiding people, which, in a vacuum, is a good answer to Trudeau’s approach to gun control, but at no point does O’Toole confirm he will repeal the OIC ban.
Although many firearms owners can be quite pessimistic about the future of firearm rights in Canada everything is far from over as things currently stand.
With the belief of many Americans of an impending societal breakdown, it appears as though, along with toilet paper and first aid treatments, there has been an extreme increase in stockpiling of ammunition, that has led to a major shortage
Many firearms owners often feel like gun confiscations are inevitable in this political climate, but Altis retroactively rejecting the contract shows that if the firearms community is large enough to push back on the Liberals attempts to ban firearms. The Liberals are the ones that are clearly on their back foot when it comes to putting their OIC gun ban into action.
One of the things law-abiding Canadian firearms owners find most frustrating about the Liberal federal government attempting to take away their property is the non-gun owning publics’ naive approval of the whole situation.
