Good for them. It’s a ridiculous program. After the ulterior motive for the program was leaked from the Public Safety Minister himself, no one should participate in this program.

Honestly at this point the better question is who’s still supporting this aside from public safety?

So far aside from Québec and BC, I don’t think there’s province with any mass police participation.

Excuse me, what? Who writes like this? No one wants this program.

>“I think I can confidently speak on behalf of every police organization in the province of Ontario, if someone wants to turn a firearm in, a police agency will take that firearm,” said Campbell.
He’s leaving out the part about not getting any compensation.

Arrogant liberals won’t back down. Insufferable party.

I thought nation building, and home building at speeds not seen since ww2 was the liberals big promise. Why not focus all of their attention on that instead of this brain dead policy that a very very small group of people actually want. But thats the liberals for you, painfully incompetent and out of touch as per usual. Mass non compliance will be the only way to get past this shit.

Politics be politicking.
It’s kind of like why no government will touch renovations on 24 Sussex because of the optics while we’re in a… likely… permanent housing affordability crisis.

Way to go. More Bang, Bang shoot’em ups in London.

Look, I don’t support this initiative. But on the other hand, isn’t it a bit dangerous for police to pick and choose what parts of the law they want to follow/enforce?

Cool, but our guns remained banned, unesable, un sellable and un transferable. So they just take them from us when they die for free.

Is it because the Police should have better things to do with their time than participate in a moronic, failed, overpriced boondoggle of a program that does nothing to address any real crime while haranguing legal, registered gun owners?

Gary Anandasangaree confirmed today it doesn’t matter that all the provinces and police say no they are going to use retired RCMP officers in mobile vans.
How about also schooling and teaching individuals themselves to behave better and not engage in criminal activities? Buying back the guns simply solves the symptoms but not the root cause. But hey, it is so much easier to buy back the guns while not solving the root causes of violence.

The program is already dead. The sooner they pull the plug the better

Can you imagine a police department showing up to law abiding citizen’s home and demanding weapons that citizen lawfully acquired? Yeah, how to build trust in the neighbourhood.. So glad, so many departments are saying ‘bite me’ to the federal government.

Let’s be honest here.. The government isn’t paying for anything.. It’s the taxpayer… And they are paying a massive amount of money for the Liberal party to buy votes in Quebec under the disguise of public safety.
If they REALLY cared about public safety, they shouldn’t be going after legal guns from licensed/vetted firearms owners….they should be going after ILLEGAL guns from gangs and criminals.
Again.. A giant waste of taxpayer money from the liberal party. I wonder why our tax’s are so high?
Carney should be a smart man and pull the plug. It’s a great opportunity for him here.
