Interesting note:

PSC has indicated that firearms owners will be supported through mailed return kits and other collection options tailored to northern communities

Question arises, is Canada Post back onboard and supporting this program?

The gist:

• Compensation is not guaranteed. Budgeted $248.6 million for 136,000 firearms which is only enough to cover the cost all previous Restricted Firearms and roughly ~15k previous Non-Restricted firearms.
• The declaration portion of the program is set to start Monday, January 19th to March 31st with letters/emails sent to PAL holders.
• Not once mentioned the NS shooting in 2020 which sparked this program but instead kept bringing up Polytechnic which occurred 30 years ago.
• Gary cannot pronounce Ruger.
• Assured we would be labelled as criminals if we choose to not participate in this “voluntary” program.

This poor CBC reporter does not seem to understand that Assault Rifles have been banned in Canada since the 70’s. Why else would these firearms be on the market.
