PARLIAMENT
Trudeau’s gun hypocrisy
by Damien Kurek, MP
Battle River-Crowfoot Constituency
Canada’s Conservatives have been working
hard to fight the Liberals’ flawed firearms policies.
I want to bring you up to date with
the most recent developments.
Many of you will recall that last year
the Liberals introduced an Order In
Council (OIC) banning 1,500 firearms
without debate, stating that legislation
would soon follow.
However, it was not until last month
that Liberal Public Safety Minister, Bill
Blair introduced Bill C-21, making a
series of changes to firearms laws in
Canada.

These developments highlight a
number of troubling trends about the way the
Liberals approach both firearms and public
safety.
Before addressing some of the specifics of Bill
C-21 I want to talk about this hypocrisy. This was
highlighted on Jan. 27 of this year, when the
Liberal Party voted against Conservative
Bill-238.

This particular bill would have increased penalties
against those who use an illegally
smuggled firearm for the purposes of committing
a crime.
Then, on Feb. 18, two days after the
new firearms bill was introduced,
Liberal Justice Minister David Lametti
introduced Bill C-22, an act that makes
a number of changes to various laws in
Canada but, most notably eliminates
mandatory minimums for the commission
of a crime using an illegally
obtained firearm.
There are many troubling aspects to
Bill C-21.
First, they have not and seem unable
to even define what an “assault style”
firearm is and are misleading Canadians when
they conflate this with firearms used in the military
that have been illegal in Canada for decades.
But it’s clear, Liberals don’t care about evidence-based
policies, as is proven by the banning
of certain gun “replicas” that will include pellet,
air soft, and paintball guns.
