According to Calibre Magazine looking at Treasury Board documents,, the Liberals have apparently cut the money available for compensation in their "buyback" from $250 million to $64.8 million, with no notice to current or future participants.

We tried to to tell everyone their guns would be seized and they'd get nothing.....

grandfathering at best is maybe what will happen.

Grandfathering is a trap. It's confiscation over a longer period of time

They'll get you to willingly register and you can bet your ass it won't be with use and they'll rug pull it down the road. We've seen this episode before.

Indeed, but at least it gives a potential Conservative majority the chance to implement " with use".

It's not unrealistic considering it's already where we are at with handguns.

All we are left with rn is no compensation and major legal liability. Grandfathering with future use is the only realistic outcome short of full on Tin Foil Hat grade stuff.

That's not how that will work. Grandfathering closes the book on that part of ownership entirely. It'd be the final fuck you moment at arms ownership.

A nebulous and death by a thousand cuts level of ownership? Yeah I guess. Handguns are mia for majority of folks and the work required to amend c21 is gonna suck.

You don't want grandfathering. You think you do but youre wrong. At least being stuck in the grey zone of extended amnesty means you can readdress the issue down the road.

Plus registration leads to confiscation and the first step of grandfathering is, guess what? Building a list of newly registered items.

The conservatives will have an easier time if we don't get grandfathering.

I think Carney wants closure to the matter tho. Amnesty extensions don't give him that. So I doubt we'll see it.

[u/Lumindan → u/Murray3-Dvideos]

If Carney wanted closure he had ample opportunities to do so. I don't understand why people keep repeating this point as if it's fact

Every single time he's had a chance to kill the program, he's doubled down on it. During the election, after the election z during the budget, during the multiple house sessions, after the leaked comments by his own public safety minister. He has committed to it EVERY single time. Hell, he was advising Trudeau on matters before hand.

At what point do you stop giving him the benefit of the doubt?

They'll keep kicking the can down the road because if he closes it, he admits that they've spent decades targeting the wrong people and doing nothing but burn tax money for votes and the illusion of public safety.

I didn't mean closure in our favor. I think it was an unfullfilled promise Trudeau made that Carneys election campaign saw as a valid vote gainer rather then loser. They want to try and thread the needle by appeasing Montreal enough to not lose their vote, but also not piss off tax payers by blowing billions on a proper buyback. Carneys got bigger fish to fry, hence why hes said very little regarding the matter and just left all the PR damage to big cheek Gary to absorb.

The "controversial" guns are more or less banned, the "promised buyback" ran its course (statistically, it failed and wasted a billion), but they'll rely on dodging that subject since they're experts at that. The only remaining issue will be dealing with the suspected non compliance with formally NR firearms. They'll either ignore it, or if it becomes bad enough PR, they'll look for something along the lines of "grandfathering."
