Acceptable deactivation has to meet a very strict standard and it's not a DIY job in most cases as a gunsmith has to sign off on it. I read somewhere that they will reimburse deactivation up to, I think $800.

It could also be the result of police going to a wrong or outdated address and encountering the wrong person based on data that was culled from old long gun registry records. Given that there are tens if not hundreds of thousands of guns which will not be compensated for there are a lot of...

Clearly, you didn't watch the Public Safety announcement yesterday.

Details announced today of the pilot buyback, err, compensated confiscation (TM) program: Opens today in NS. Only 200 firearms to be collected to test viability of the system. Dedicated contact centre. Goes live nationally later this fall. Eligible owners will be contacted by mail/email during...

Might cause Provost to cross the floor to the BQ, which would hurt him, though. I'm sure she only ran in the hope of getting the PS portfolio to further her personal agenda.

The announcement is scheduled for 1230 EDT tomorrow starring the usual suspects. Looks like he gets a pass on this one.

Well, it appears that Minister Anandasangaree has really stepped in it this time. In a recorded conversation with a constituent who is also a gun owner, the Minister was heard to say that: The individual buyback launches Tuesday (tomorrow, 2025.09.23) with pilot project in Cape Breton; Funds...

The case I alluded to was an a Admin Clk Cpl when I was a Directorate Sgt Maj at NDHQ. Said member always called in sick on a Monday after a certain NFL team had played poorly the night before.

I have done that in the past. The member was "cured" very quickly. I considered adding "MD" to my signature block. :)

Waiting to see how much will be allocated to the compensated confiscation (TM) scheme when the first new budget is tabled by PMMC in November 2025. Then we'll know if they intent to pay fair market value as promised or pennies on the dollar as expected.

Given your current administrations interpretation of admissibility, this could be a problem for many. So, why does POTUS 47 keep bringing it up? Now, back to the topic at hand. A correction to my earlier post. The current amnesty orders only applies to those firearms banned in May 2020 and...

Nice idea, but those are not grounds for refugee claims under any current treaties, but maybe we could build it into the new USMCA/CUSMA. I'm pretty confident that if the 51st state idea were to ever come to pass that our current government would negotiate away 2A rights for former Canadians in...
