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.

I think this is because it was never meant to work or seek cooperation. It’s just political smoke and mirrors to get votes. The more we criticize (rightfully so), the more they can argue we’re just crying children. Unlike Natalie, I don’t think Carney or Justin were true anti-gunners, but they aren’t against using issues to their advantage to gain support in and out of parliament. Either way it’s scummy.

They threw Provost a big juicy taxpayer funded bone and still it wasnt enough for her. Greedy b*tch.

They’re like PETA, they’ll never be satisfied regardless of the laws in place.

Advocacy groups are a double edged sword to democracy. Some bring attention and change to genuine issues, while others are just dogmatic ideologues who will stop at nothing to impose their world on you.
