News / Politics / Activism Busniess assault style compensation program nightmare.

Story time everyone

So I work for a firearms Busniess is ontario.

Today i tried to submit some of the firearms that are currently prohibited under this ridiculous farce of a program.

Not only does the website not work. When I tried calling the person on the phone was no help what so ever.

The website won't let me start a claim and when I go to add the busniess info. The system just keeps on error in put saying that there is missing info.

Finally got annoyed and tried calling into the program for assistance. The person on the phone gave me the run around for 20mins. Asking me the same question repeatedly then placed me on hold. Told her that I am representing the company and kept asking for the owner to verify info. Informed her that I can provide her any information that she may need and still insisted she needs the owner on the phone.

How does this program expect anyone to cooperate baffles me when they make it nearly impossible to use.

Thank god I didnt participate in the individual buy back.

To quote Ontario Premier Doug Ford: "Gun owners, protect your guns... don't ever give them away"

I mean if the premier of my province tells me not to give away my guns I have to listen right? He said it and I am obliging, federal government has a problem with it they can talk to him

Seems like a valid defense. Should stand up in court.

Only real criminals get the luxury of not being accountable to the law in this fuckass country.

Now if he’d just tell our attorney general to not enforce the buyback or any associated punishments - like Danielle Smith!

yes, quote the former drug dealer and college drop-out

Doug Ford is also a populist, so go ahead and downvote

Wab Kinew? I don't think the Manitoba government has really taken any stance on this issue aside from virtue signalling.

No actual plan to help protect Manitobans from this program even though he says he disagrees with it.

no, Doug Ford and his brothers were drug dealers, Rob has three months of college
