News / Politics / Activism Door-to-door?

https://youtu.be/DxJEGIiao1k?si=QFMHMnr3XEUSEfsP

Mr. Anasangaree is once again tap dancing when it comes to answering questions about the confiscation program.

He doesn't accept Mr. Lloyd's figures regarding the 2% participation rate, and obfuscates with current participation figures that are supposedly meant to inspire confidence in the program.

According to the Public Safety Minister, police will NOT be going door-to-door to collect prohibited and illegal firearms. Seemingly millions of Canadians will be criminals, in possession of these "weapons of war", but the Public Minister suggests local police services will enforce the law with no specifics.

Additionally, Mr. Anasangaree adds empty rhetoric regarding the effects on crime this program will have, citing the mass casualty report that followed the Portapique shootings which were committed by an unlicensed criminal known to police, with illegal firearms.

Enjoy!

Yooo that’s crazy. Cutting over 100 million from Correction Services Canada most of it being for rehabilitation and reintegration (like the most important part so people don’t commit crimes again) but the have 700 plus million to spend on taking guns from people who have never committed a crime. Wild

The irony of saying they're being tough on crime while turning millions into criminals

u/Paintrain1066 Mar 26 '26

While letting violent repeat offenders out on bail

u/The_King_of_Canada mb Mar 26 '26

Didn't they drop a bail reform bill for stricter conditions? Prolly just to say they did but still.

u/jollygreengiant1655 Mar 27 '26

IIRC they just voted down 4 separate "tough on crime" bills...

u/The_King_of_Canada mb Mar 27 '26

Like the last one from the CPC that just said stand guard and had no actual rules or regulations? They do that so it looks like they're not worthless. If they were serious they'd go to the LPC and work out the laws.

It's all because Nathalie Provost can't afford to have a public meltdown worse than Chornobyl.

She must have some dirty secrets on the Liberal party.

3.6 secrets, not great not terrible.

u/Fine-Mine-3281 Mar 26 '26

Because it’s never been about public safety. It’s about disarmament.

38

u/Metalock Mar 27 '26

You'd think Canadians would show a little more resentment to a corporate banker elite disarming the working-class, ESPECIALLY after the Minister responsible for overseeing said program was caught admitting himself it does nothing for public safety, was only for Quebec votes, and was ordered by Carney to follow through and do this, but I guess I shouldn't be surprised anymore after the last 10+ years.

u/drugstoremechanic Mar 27 '26

The people who voted for him seemed to be more concerned with Trump than anything domestic.

u/Fine-Mine-3281 Mar 28 '26

Sadly, Canadians have been lulled to sleep wrapped tight in their social security blanket.

They’ve grown naive and soft, gullible and passive. Canada is an adult kindergarten.

10

u/I_Automate Mar 27 '26

Its not even about disarmament because they won't actually do a darn thing to get those firearms out of our safes.

Its fear mongering optics to buy votes in ridings where people are terrified of the very idea of firearms

2

u/Fine-Mine-3281 Mar 28 '26

Yes, the optics & narrative for votes is definitely a huge part of it.

However, i’d argue that the liberals did sacrifice Canadian sovereignty to the U.N. global government over the past decade. Part of that was when Tudau signed the 2016 UN Small Arms Treaty which called for the removal of “military-style” firearms from civilians.

The UN classified “military-style” as semi-automatic, center-fire, magazine-fed rifles.

The liberal spin-doctors changed the wording from Treaty “military style” to “assault style” because assault sounds scarier I guess. They also spun the optics from - “we are robbing you of your Canadian sovereign rights by confiscating your legal guns at the hands of an undemocratically elected international government panel” to “you are the bad guy, you’re a misogynist psycho killer with ultra-right-wing American militia beliefs out to kill us all” narratives.

Why did the U.N. even create the Small Arms Treaty to begin with? Because organized crime was buying up guns (mostly American) and shipping them to Africa where African warlords were raising child soldiers to murder their own villages.

So law abiding Canadians had to give up their own hard-earned property because of African warlords.

Such is the world we live in…

The harder this fails the harder it’ll be for the anti gun lobby in this country to ever be taken seriously again

u/boozefiend3000 Mar 26 '26

I’m still curious if there’s any fresh blood in the gun control circles? Or is it just all these geriatric twats?

25

u/Top_Importance6216 Mar 27 '26

its geriatrics and social media addicted millennials with more emotions than reason, either of which have never stepped foot in a range and think this is america.

u/newtdiego Mar 27 '26

inb4 some event with extremely sketchy characteristics manufactures consent among the populace to suddenly generate new gun control advocates (i am praying this does not happen)

9

u/turitelle Mar 27 '26

It’s obvious that’s what they were waiting for because that’s what they do and how they operate. However the Tumbler Ridge tragedy didn't work out for them with the other issues that they don’t want to address.

u/Mammoth_Accountant88 Mar 27 '26

I'd pay 2-3 hours of my daily wage to watch Provost seethe and implode at press conferences by lying and blaming a non-existent and abstractly defined "gun lobby" in desperate last-ditch hopes of convincing the public that the abject failure of 30+ years of culminated efforts was successful, because admitting nobody wants to comply, even when you're threatening door to door action, is political oblivion.

u/EvanAzzo Mar 26 '26

Reading between the bickering of two people who leave shit intentionally ambiguous in an attempt to trip eachother up for soundbites, what I gather from this conversation is this.

No we will not be going door to door to collect your undeclared firearms.

Yes we will ask off duty RCMP and retired LEO's to collect declared firearms at mobile firearm collection points set up within cities

No we have no plan on what to do about non declared firearms other than to pull the PAL's of those who have failed to cooperate with restricteds and hope to catch the non restricted owners later, eventually. By that time I plan to be a retired MP on a beach in the south of France.

31

u/The_King_of_Canada mb Mar 26 '26

Wow. I mean i figured they weren't going to go door to door but they don't even have enough staff to man the collection points? Damn this wasn't planned at all. Love to see it fail.

I will also add, COVID really ruined their reputation and made A LOT of officers quit.

Friend of friends have family members who are and were officers.

u/SirKickBan Mar 26 '26

I don't think this is an accurate read. He doesn't refer to what will happen after the amnesty period ends, just reiterates that the current compensation program is not a door to door program.

u/Spare-Swim9458 Mar 27 '26

Keep in mind how many ex police officers are on that list for not turning over their firearms. I know 3 in my little nobody life. It’s gunna be difficult for them to actually try anything

u/Alone-Demand-9386 Mar 27 '26

Pretty soon they will stop 🛑 talking about it and pretend it doesn’t exist and sneak out the back door 🚪 of parliament hill.

u/ChooseExactUsername Mar 26 '26

Mr. Lloyd is my MP.

He is far more well spoken than our Minister of Public Safety. The Minister is very hard to listen to. I think he needs to attend something like Toastmasters.

If I had to defend the bad position of an argument I would also need a lot of help.

16

u/i-Hermit Mar 26 '26

That's the thing that I can't understand. In real life we value honesty and being able to admit your mistakes is considered an admirable quality. I honestly think the minister of public safety thinks this program is horse shit, but has to tow the party line. In real life I would find someone like that extremely distasteful.

17

u/Teckiiiz Mar 27 '26

The minister has no fucking clue about firearms or safety. He's a peon moved when and where needed.

No matter how many times I think about it. Their motivation is not what is say.It is it's impossible. The only way to be this obtuse and setting it up for failure.It is nefarious. I'll leave you come to your own conclusions, especially considering bill c-9 passed.

If it doesn’t involve a hockey game and Hortons 90% of Canadian voters don’t have a clue. I’ve heard very in-depth discussions on how a hockey team should be run/played like they own the team. If they put that much effort into their voting decisions maybe this country wouldn’t be the dumpster fire that it is.

what I am supposed to do with banned guns?? Take them back so i buy a bolt action

10

u/RepublicanToaster Mar 27 '26

You could use it as a daily reminder that the government does not care about reducing gun crime.

Regardless of anyone's opinion on this program. The facts are that the government never owned these guns, they can't take back something they never possessed.

That bolt action will eventually be called a high power/long range weapon.
