No clarity from Mounties on gun shop ledgers
Toronto Sun -  Gun shop owners hoping for clarity from the Mounties on the so-called backdoor long-gun registry are out of luck.

Just a reminder to Alberta hunters to get your hunting draws in early as possible. First come first served in this province. See Albertarelm to make your hunting draw bid. Less hassle than a general licence purchase, and probably fewer "officious" brown shirts !

Yeah trucker, and that'll be the only way to get the comfortable masses to wake up (hopefully). Alberta is what's driving this country right now. Take away the tar sands and we become a second - world nation. I don't how many of you are CHristians but now might be a good time to get things right with the Lord.

Look for the b@#$% to start bleeding Alberta dry with carbon credits / debits off the Alberta tar sands to be paid to the World Bank (read private handful of uber wealthy criminal banksters). I've learned that Redford was once a UN lawyer, and as others have pointed out here they take care of their own. It's one big, happy and enormously wealthy club, only U ain't init you unrepentant firearms owner !!

"They" will not win in the end. Only the Lord is in charge. You're right, many of the sheep are still asleep. And GF, with the coming retirement of the baby boom generation, governments will not be able to keep this shit going. There simply aren't enough younger working Canadians to prop up the bureaucratic monster. Wonder what It'll take to turn things around. Previous generations took their rights for granted and now we're paying the price for it. You guys say moving to another country isn't going to change anything because this is a global tyranny, maybe you're right? Perahps we'll have to stay put and ride out the storm.

and look at what the gordon campbell lieberals did to BC Hydro. BC residents are now paying upwards of 12 times for their power over what Hydro can produce it for...cause campbell and his still reigning lieberals brought forth legislation forcing Hydro to buy power from the foreign owned run-of-river power producers instead of using the power it can produce itself. As we speak, because of a good snow pack, Hydro, instead of producing power from the full dams they have, are dumping the water over spillways while being forced to buy power from the river spoiling, fish killing run-of-river companies. This is a matter of fact that the liberals admit. To my knowledge, there are over 500 alpine rivers in BC made available for this kind of rape and the harper types applaud it. But, hey, at least they can say they got rid of the firearm registry...NOT! Meanwhile, the sheep sleep. God help Alberta and the rest of the provinces.

Yeah, the world is definitely moving towards some kind of catastrophe. Perhaps if people become desperate enough, it will force them to take action. People have been too complacent for too long because they've been too comfortable. Look at the western world over the past 60 years..no depressions, world wars, nobody really going hungry. Hard times force folks to change their priorities. Surely to God when the SHTF there will be ample resistance to the NWO. Hopalong stated that the goal of the globalists is to turn us into serfs. I've read about several peasant and lower class uprisings which took place during the Middle Ages that eventually led to the rights we have today - the rights we're slowly losing (Magna Carta, English Bill of RIghts). History constantly repeats itself and will continue this way until the end of time.

Corporate ownership of the food supply and all that. But hey, then there's no need for game wardens, fisheries officers, park wardens...

There's a definite irony in Redford vacating Alberta at the very same time that Mulcair enters the province. Good riddance ('though very temporary) to the global warming alarmist. And hello ('though mercifully short lived) to the "east/west economic adjuster". They both have their sights set on the extremely profitable tar sands. One can start meddling with it right away, while the other can hardly wait three years for his turn to ruin the project. Wouldn't trust my firearm to either of those loonies.

Thanks to voters from Alberta giving that conservative party a big win recently, Allison Redford will be traveling to the up coming Bilderberg conference in Chantilly Virginia. It will cost taxpayers 19000 dollars to fly her there so she can discuss with her fellow elite global warming alarmists the best methods for applying the UN Agenda 21 Project. To make a big story short, it means they want to choke off our modern technologies and make us live like serfs in the feudal age. No kidding.

I dont advocate moving away, uncertainty and fear and loathing for gun owners is an international dish. The UN is dilligently empire building, and desires to initiate an international long gun registry (including all guns) one world government, global domination. They are massive, have their fingers in the entire world economy, and HATe freedom. The way I see it, scurrying about this rather beautiful, vast planet, although maybe gratifying and pleasurable, it has become similar to changing seats on the titanic, no place is safe, until the UN is disbanded, and gun control is shown to be the farce it is, on a world scale. bottom line, gunowners are the most responsible people on the planet. WHY? because, they do not want to risk any situation that would result in the loss or confiscation of their firearms! true story! ....and, a cautionary word to the wise....there is NO RIGHT to NOT EVER BE OFFENDED! because, if there were, the LIB/NDP/GREENS would be in shackles for their extreme greivous insult they have wrought against honest farmers and hunters.---sincerely.

I don't believe everyone in Canuckistan is a sheep. In fact, I would say the average Joe Six Pack Canadian, who may not be political but at the same time isn't stupid, is getting fed up with all of this nonsense. SO the CPC is going to allow this provincial shit to continue. Perhaps every one of us should withdraw our support from the CPC and vote Libertarian in 2015. And Trucker, you may just see a tax revolt in the near future.

This does seem possible, but I suspect the reverse, say, CSIS operations south of the border, not tolerated? I can see why cooperation for arresting fugitives, people trying to escape justice, but unchecked activity seems unreal?

RCMP ‘to ease Canadians into the idea’ of U.S. agents in Canada

The main headquarters of the FBI, the J. Edgar Hoover Building, is seen in Washington on March 4, 2012.Uncle Sam could soon be coming after you on Canadian soil.

According to an article in Embassy Magazine, the Harper government is moving forward on several initiatives that could give U.S. FBI and DEA agents the ability to pursue suspects in Canada.

But, according to a RCMP officer, they're doing it in "baby steps."

"We recognized early that this approach would raise concerns about sovereignty, of privacy, and civil liberties of Canadians," RCMP Chief Superintendent Joe Oliver, the Mounties' director general for border integrity, told the Senate Committee on National Security and Defence on May 14.

"We said 'Let's take baby steps, let's start with two agencies to test the concept, let's demonstrate to Canadians and Americans that such an approach might work."

Baby step 1, according to Embassy Magazine, has already happened in the form cross border pilot projects allowing Canadian and American agents in each others waters.

Step 2 is the 'Shiprider' program which will make it permanently legal for U.S. agents to be certified as police in Canadian waters. This is on track to be passed into law by the Harper government's omnibus budget bill, C-38.

And step 3, is to roll out cross-border policing over land.

Embassy also notes that the government is not ruling out U.S. aerial surveillance over Canadian land.

These initiatives are part of the much-touted perimeter security initiative between Washington and Ottawa, designed to provide a thicker wall of security around the continent while easing trade barriers at the borders.

Critics have bemoaned the loss of Canada's jurisdiction and sovereignty over the new policing measures but Canadian officials insist it's needed.

"Criminals are exploiting the fact that we have to respect our boundaries and we have to stop at the border," Oliver said.

"We've had instances where we've engaged in the attempts to interdict vessels in our shared waterways, and the vessel has fled into the other territory and has escaped apprehension."

OTTAWA — Draft regulations requiring ammunition be locked away will be struck down, Public Safety Minister Vic Toews said Thursday, an announcement that has gun owners breathing a sigh of relief.
"My understanding is that those regulations, in respect of the storage of ammunition, will not proceed as proposed," he said.
The draft regulations would require that gun owners lock away all ammunition. At present, guns must be locked, but not ammunition. The proposed rules would require all gun owners to install a locking box or safe in their homes.
Toews told reporters Thursday he was not aware of the changes to ammunition storage rules until this week, when Postmedia News' coverage of the issue brought the proposed regulations national attention.
"Those regulations were brought to my attention a day or two ago," he said. "I was not aware of those regulations."
"That was a discussion I think mainly inside the bureaucracy," he added. "I just reiterate, those are not regulations that will proceed as proposed."
Hours later, a spokeswoman for Natural Resources Minister Joe Oliver issued similar assurances.
"We won't move forward with any regulations that impose unnecessary or arbitrary regulations on law-abiding firearms owners while ensuring the safety of Canadians," said Carly Wolff. "These regulations are currently in a consultative period and we will review all comments received."
Canada's explosive regulations have not been updated since 1920, and the draft rules aim to keep explosives out of the hands of terrorists. Drafted by Natural Resources Canada bureaucrats, the proposed rules could interfere with things such as hunting and even re-enacting historic battles.
The draft regulations, made public recently, are currently in a 75-day review period.
The public has been invited to tell Natural Resources Canada if they have concerns — before the end of June — and the final regulations will come into force in the late summer or early fall.
National Firearms Association president Blair Hagen said gun owners are "very gratified" to hear Toews' pledge, and feel reassured the sweeping regulatory changes will not proceed as published.
"After they were published in the Canada Gazette there was a rather large outcry from the firearms community about this," he said. "There was great alarm about these regulations, especially storage of ammunition."
Tony Bernardo, executive director of the Canadian Sports Shooting Association, said many firearms owners were surprised by the draft rules, given the Harper government's oft-repeated pledge not to criminalize law abiding duck hunters and sports shooters.
Firearms owners across Canada have made their views known, Bernardo said, and are relieved to see their concerns have been heard. The bureaucrats who drafted the regulations, he said, seem not to recognize which way the winds are blowing vis-a-vis firearms law in Canada these days.
"Once again, the Harper government has responded to the needs of Canadians," he said. "There's definitely a disconnect between the desires of the citizens of the country and the bureaucracy."
Toews' spokesman Michael Patton said his boss was unaware of the new explosive regulations because they do not fall under the auspices of his department.
"Our government will not make changes that unfairly target law-abiding citizens with unnecessary or arbitrary obligations," Patton said.

Fire them ALL. They're still working for the liberals. Times have changed and the b@#$%es need to get their CFO butts kicked hard.
As for Mulcair, he's just a typical NDP wingnut who claims that the Alberta tar sands is the total reason that the Canadian dollar is "artificially" high. Wake up Mulcair, the reason the Canadian dollar is high is because people are BUYING Canadian dollars compared to US dollars which are being rapidly devalued due to the Federal Reserve's (a totally private company, and not in the least little bit "Federal") printing up greenbacks like they're going out of style! And therefor causing what we can all witness, worldwide INFLATION ! Vis-a-vie gas prices=food in the supermarket
Duh-uh Mulcair, economics 101, and may the deity help us all if Mulcair EVER gets the nod !

Last week, nothing. maybe this week, Toews will "fire a shot" across the CFO's bow...a FIRING or two is in order. Kim Campbells safe storage law aids in confiscation and harrassment of guns and gun owners as well.

Some Provinces are trying to keep the long gun registry. What do you think?
..................................
Should Provinces or their Firearms Officers be allowed to reconstruct the long gun registry?:
Yes
No
....................
Should new legislation be introduced to defend your property rights?:
Yes
No
......................
What do you think should be included in any new legislation?

My response,
I support the right of all citizens of a free country such as Canada to Freely own ,keep,and bear arms ,without onerous and invasive paperwork, licensing, or registration.
.............................................
A return to the F.A.C. would be acceptable to me,but even that will fail to address violent crime issues ,since criminals will find ways to obtain firearms, or use other objects to accomplish their violent intentions.
................................
A basic freedom on which all our other freedoms in a free country exists, is the right to Freely bear and keep arms for defence against threats 2 & 4 legged,and to keep a balance of power in citizens hands against tyrannical forces of government.
.................................
I can't tell you how much gun owners of Canada appreciate a voice such as yours working on our behalf and all Freedom loving Canadians.
Best Regards,
J.D.

Spell it out S-L-O-W-L-Y for the CFO's. They're still stuck in no means yes, and yes means no. What a farce - since 1995 .
