Ukraine didn't want them. And, by the time the Liberals actually figure out how to collect our guns, that war will probably be over.

The PS minister today said that provinces that "disallow" their citizens from participating in the compensated confiscation (TM) program are hurting their citizens. He also stated that he expects compliance and that provinces will have to get on board as this is a Canada wide program.
There is a finite amount of funds available and those provinces that participate will, quite obviously, consume those funds first. So, if you live in AB or SK, you'll likely get nothing because you will have waited too long. Remember, too, that in QC there is a functioning firearms registry so the SQ already know who has what. I'd guess we will see high compliance in QC which will deplete the treasury quickly.
In other news, in response to an order paper question from London area CPC MP Andrew Lawton, the RCMP have released that there are 14 known and registered SKS's in Canada.
As much as I detest this whole program, it is being done under federal criminal law, to which all citizens and provincial governments are subject, whether they like it or not. It wouldn't take much for the Liberals to use legislative mechanism to force police co-operation. And, as we know, the Liberals are not above throwing money at a problem to make it go away. This is a key plank in the Liberal platform. Danielle Smith and Scott Moe's' legal posturing is only going to hurt AB/SK gun owners in the long run. They will still eventually lose their guns and be out-of-pocket to boot.
I'm actually surprised that Minister Anandasangaree still has his job. Give his previous missteps on this file, he has to make this work or risk being replaced by a more radical minister. Watch for an announcement about guns in the next few days leading up to December 6, and also watch to see who is standing in the wings waiting for Anandasangaree's chair to be made vacant.

14 SKS in all of Canada? As many as that?
I would have thought at least 100…or as few as 5.
Good to see the RCMP is on top of this!

I already knew from the moment this started that we are not getting compensated. Once you accept that, you can resist by doing nothing and then by doing everything slowly and in the most polite obstructive way possible.
Isnt it funny how the initial OIC stated compensation for the original firearms on the list. The follow lists stated no compensation. Here we are years later and now its first come first serve. How well of a plan is this if they cant even follow their own set plan.

From the start the whole plan was to make non-LPC supporters suffer, while bolstering failing LPC numbers in QC. It isn't about safety, and it isn't about a plan beyond that.
Now that they are on the hook for compensation and they are in a minority government, they are looking for ways to scare people into uncompensated compliance, or scare QC voters back into their fold.

I just did a ten second search of a single gun shop in Quebec that shows more than 20 SKS rifles currently in stock and for sale. Which does suggest that the Quebec firearms registry doesn’t have good comms with the RCMP.

They only need to be registered once sold by the business.

I would rather hang on to my guns, in the hopes that some day in the future this is corrected, than surrender them to the Feds.
And I would be willing to forgo the meager offerings they would provide too.

The only way you'd be able to keep them would be to have them deactivated. If done properly, as per the guidelines, the process is irreversible.
