It's a Liberal government foul-up. But let's face it: it's also really just yet another Big Government and Big Bureaucracy foul-up. (And yes, "foul-up" is being exceedingly polite, and better words could be found under F in the dictionary.) I'm not even...

Canadians need to act against the Liberals' latest gun bans. It's objectively wrong.

— It ONLY impacts the millions of good, law-abiding, legal gun-owning Canadians.
—It will NOT reduce criminal use of guns.
—Yet again, more of our freedoms are REDUCED.

All any journalist, or citizen, needs to do to confirm Trudeau is lying is to look at the list of guns he wants to ban. The list is in the official amendment put forward by the government. It’s not secret.
That so many journalists won’t do that should be concerning to all. https://twitter.com/tristinhopper/status/1600250464339394560

It is extraordinarily easy to confirm that Trudeau is obviously lying about C-21 not targeting hunters, and I would urge journalists to do so. https://globalnews.ca/news/9328630/justin-trudeau-carey-price-gun-control/
