BC authorities are obviously hallucinating or lying about gang shootings since Justin made us all safe by banning those bad rifles.

Re: NB timber royalties.

Count me among the voters who who were fooled again.
It appears we have a premier who is indeed in the pocket of his former employer.

The federal government announced today that it would conduct a public inquiry and issue a report on why the federal government only conducts public inquiries and issues reports, especially about public inquiries and their reports.

Speculation?
Of course we’re headed in to an election. PM Silverspoon got a haircut and more importantly, shaved. Read your history.

Dear Minister Shephard,
How’s that doctor recruitment coming along?
The silence has been deafening.

News item:
“Atwin says she can vote against Liberals”

…..Sure, until the morning after the federal election. (Assuming she retains her seat)

In the US impartiality was actually legislated out of existence. Nice work.

There is a federally funded anti-firearms ad running lately (in the middle of Nova Scotias’ provincial election. No coincidence.) that is intentionally misleading.
You know the one.

Some facts:
From the National Police Federation -
• In the last decade, handguns have been the primary firearm used in gun-related homicides. In 2019, over 60 percent of the 261 homicides committed with a firearm involved a handgun. These firearms are either already prohibited or restricted in Canada, illustrating the issue of the complexity of illegal firearms usage.
• The 2020 “assault” or “assault-style” firearms ban does not alter the status of handguns in Canada. In fact, “assault” or “assault-style” is not a legal weapons classification in Canada – they are colloquial terms to describe high-power and rapid-fire guns (often used by the military) that are mostly already banned in Canada.

• Canada shares the world’s longest undefended border with the world’s largest manufacturer of small arms: The United States. In 2019 alone, 2,242 illegally sold guns used in crimes in Canada were traced back to manufacturers in the United States.i In April 2020, 22 people including RCMP Constable Heidi Stephenson lost their lives in a tragic mass shooting in which all firearms used were illegally obtained. Of the four firearms used, three were obtained illegally from the United States,ii and the gunman did not have a Possession and Acquisition firearms license, making his possession of any firearm illegal.

Costly and current legislation, such as the Order in Council prohibiting various firearms and the proposed “buy-back” program by the federal government targeted at legal firearm owners, does not address these current and emerging themes or urgent threats to public safety.
It also does not address:
criminal activity,
illegal firearms proliferation, gang crime,
illegal guns crossing the border or the criminal use of firearms.
In fact, it diverts extremely important personnel, resources, and funding away from addressing
the more immediate and growing threat of criminal use of illegal firearms.

Read the entire document, complete with references, here:

Do not bow to disingenuous politicized fear tactics.

Seriously though, I’ve got nothing against the guy personally. I’m sure he’s great fun at parties (unless you’re a female reporter, allegedly).

Based on my paystubs, I’m working for PM Silverspoon from Monday morning until mid Tuesday afternoon.
I can’t afford 4 more years.

The daily stream of soundbites with politicians claiming “we couldn’t have known or predicted” what was going to happen in Afghanistan is CRAP.
