After nearly three years and numerous procedural hurdles and delays, the judicial review of the May 2020 Order-in-Council (a.k.a. “assault style” weapons ban) will finally be heard by the Federal Court! It will be an 8-day hearing commencing April 11. This is the final hearing of the case on the merits, not a procedural motion.

You will be able to watch the proceeding live via Zoom. Anyone interested in watching can contact the Federal Court’s public relations office to request access to the April 11-20 hearing in Doherty et al. v. Attorney General of Canada, Court File No. T-677-20. The Court’s email address is [email protected]. I would suggest not waiting until the last minute as the Court will be receiving numerous requests (the interim motion argued back in 2021 was attended by over 1,000 people).

This has been a lengthy and expensive legal fight but we are finally at the finish line. This proceeding was commenced by nine ordinary Canadians: Michael Doherty, Nils Ek, Richard Delve, Christian Bruhn, Philip McBride, Lindsay Jamieson, David Mayhew, Mark Nichol and Peter Minuk . They have been financing this litigation with their own funds and with the help of contributions from other members of the firearms community.

Please note that as of November 29, 2021, you must register to observe a remote hearing on the Federal Court website on the Hearings Lists and Calendar of Hearings pages.

Budget reveals next steps in Ottawa’s plan to force gun owners to give up banned weapons

A small item from the new federal budget offers a hint at how the government plans to carry out its buyback of prohibited firearms.

Over five years, the federal government intends to spend $29 million to help Public Safety Canada and the RCMP implement an “IT solution to compensate firearms owners and businesses and safely remove assault-style firearms from Canadian communities.”

According to the ministry of public safety, the funding will be used to create an online management system to facilitate the acquisition, destruction or disposal of more than 100,000 prohibited assault-style weapons, such as the AR-15. The military-grade firearms were banned through an order-in-council in May 2020 on the grounds they have no place in hunting or sport shooting.

The government still expects to spend more on the buyback program. In 2021, the parliamentary budget officer estimated it could cost anywhere between $47 million and $756 million depending on the number of guns affected, the take-up rate and pricing structure.

Currently, an amnesty is in place until Oct. 30, 2023 to protect lawful owners of the now-prohibited firearms from criminal liability while they take steps to comply with the law. It’s unclear whether that deadline will be extended for a second time as the government continues to design the system.

Yet more foot-dragging on the part of the feds. guess these firearms that were deemed so dangerous will sit in various safes around Canada another 5 years...

Progressive criminal justice policies have made Canada less safe

Our streets are becoming more dangerous as we witness a rise in random acts of violence

That Canadians have a right to feel safe in their own cities should go without saying. Yet it needs to be said, because too many judges, politicians and left-wing voters have leaned so far into the soft-on-crime, defund-the-police rhetoric, they fail to see that the lack of deterrence in our justice system is contributing to a culture of lawlessness on our streets.

Half of 2023 Toronto murder suspects were out on release

So far, Toronto has seen 12 homicides in 2023 and in at least half, the suspects were out on bail, parole or probation. Think it’s just the Big Smoke? It’s not. The situation is the same from Vancouver to Buena Vista

First action taken using the Alberta Firearms Act

A new regulation restricting municipalities and police from entering into unilateral agreements with the federal government has been created under the Alberta Firearms Act.

Alberta’s government is providing clarity to municipalities, police services and police commissions about their responsibility when considering accepting federal funding to enforce a federal firearms confiscation program.

The regulation requires that municipalities, police services and police commissions receive written approval from Alberta’s minister of Justice and Attorney General before entering into funding agreements or accepting funding from the federal government to take part in the federal firearms confiscation program.

This requirement allows the minister of Justice and Attorney General to review funding agreements and grants to ensure they are consistent with safe delivery of firearms programming in Alberta.

“The Alberta Firearms Act was introduced on March 7. Twenty-one days later, the law took effect when it received royal assent. Now, merely a week later, Alberta’s government has moved to enable the first regulation under the act. This action demonstrates that Alberta stands unequivocally with law-abiding firearms owners, but there is more to do. Stay tuned.”
Tyler Shandro, Minister of Justice and Attorney General

“Public safety should be the cornerstone and overriding factor in all decisions related to firearms programming. The federal firearms confiscation program will not improve public safety. The Alberta Chief Firearms Office calls on the federal government to put public safety first by focusing on the criminal misuse of firearms rather than on law-abiding firearms owners.”
Teri Bryant, chief firearms officer

Saskatchewan passes firearms bill in face of federal buyback program

The legislation passed unanimously in assembly, receiving support from Saskatchewan Party government and Opposition NDP members.

REGINA — The Saskatchewan legislative assembly passed new firearms legislation today that aims to put roadblocks in place when Ottawa starts a program to buy back banned guns.

The legislation passed unanimously in assembly, receiving support from Saskatchewan Party government and Opposition NDP members.

The bill requires RCMP, policing bodies or other agents to receive a licence from the province should they participate in the buyback program.

Officers don’t need a licence to take a firearm, if it’s part of their regular policing duties.

Saskatchewan is also to require municipal forces to seek approval from the provincial public safety minister if they want to accept federal funding to participate in the program.

N.S. mass shooting: how gun smuggling happened, and the inquiry's call for reforms

A decade before a Nova Scotia man used smuggled guns to murder 22 people in the province in 2020, police information systems had labelled him as a firearms risk.

Yet those records never found their way to the Canada Border Services Agency, and they didn't prevent the mass shooter from obtaining a Nexus card -- granting him status as a low-risk traveller.

The final report of the public inquiry into Canada's worst mass shooting, released last week, details troubling breakdowns in information sharing and recommends reforms to develop "fully interoperable systems" for exchanging records between police and the federal border agency.

The report also describes how red flags about the killer didn't lead to detection of his illegal activities during any of his 21 border crossings between 2016 and the April 18-19, 2020, killings.

It was during that time that Gabriel Wortman -- a wealthy, 51-year-old denture maker -- is believed to have smuggled three semi-automatic guns through Woodstock, N.B. Two were handguns he obtained from a friend in Houlton, Maine, and the third was a rifle he bought after spotting it at a gun show in Maine.

...

The mass shooting inquiry's final report cites a 2020 border agency assessment that says that before the killings, there was "minimal intelligence ... about firearms smuggling in Atlantic Canada because it was a 'lower tiered priority' for the CBSA."

Good find Matt. CTV is the least liberal biased news outlet there is with the exception of Joyce Napier who is a pure twit that could suffocate in her own stupidity. Other than that, they work pretty hard at finding the truth.

Canada’s police chiefs request urgent meeting with the premiers: ‘Policing is at a crossroad’

Canada’s police chiefs are sounding the alarm over public safety.

In a letter obtained by Global News, the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police said it urgently needs to meet with premiers from across the country to look at how to protect Canadians, police officers, and combat a spike in guns, gangs, drugs, and violence.

CACP President Chief Danny Smyth wrote the letter to Manitoba Premier Heather Stefanson, the chair of the Council of the Federation which represents premiers from Canada’s 13 provinces and territories.

He said there are several urgent and emerging issues surrounding violence and policing in the country which need to be discussed with Canada’s premiers.

“In the last six months, we have lost nine officers — eight of them to random violence,” his letter read.

“There is no question that the degradation of discourse around policing and police funding, the lack of accountability in our justice system, and the significant increase in drug, gang, and gun violence have all played a part in escalating the danger for our profession.”

Be nice if they all agreed to deal with the actual issues, rather than legal, vetted firearm owners!!! Seems the LEO's have that in mind here...
