It's actually crazy our firearm laws are made by people who have absolutely no background in policing/military/outdoors/etc.

You'd think the Minister of Public Safety would know the Firearms Act like the back of their hand instead of being passed a note because he doesn't what an RPAL is. It's like if the Minister of Transportation never had a driver's license.

And Nathalie.... uuggghhh....

A thing that REALLY bothers me about Prevost's position is that like, don't we need an actual secretary of nature?

I'm a big nature guy. If I didn't like guns and motorcycles so much, everyone would call me a hippy. I'm actually really mad that they put her in charge of conservation and climate change, pretty much my #3 and #2 issues respectively, and she ain't doing shit all about that and instead making fat bank off of being the leader of Poly.

Gun stuff aside, this is really wrong IMO.

Don't get mixed up, Provost is "secretary of state for nature", which isn't an actual cabinet position. The current Minister of the Environment is Julie Dabrusin, who took over for Steven Guilbeault last year.
