News / Politics / Activism Door-to-door?
https://youtu.be/DxJEGIiao1k?si=QFMHMnr3XEUSEfsPMr. 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!

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

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

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.

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)

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

u/Teckiiiz Mar 27 '26
The minister has no fucking clue about firearms or safety. He's a peon moved when and where needed.

The minister needs to attend a flight for deportation. Guy wrote letters of support for giving citizenship to an actual terrorist.

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

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.

u/Infinite_Price_3550 Mar 26 '26
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
