The head of the Customs and Immigration Union has little faith the PMMC's ability to deliver 1000 "new" BSOs. He testified in Committee that current recruit training barely keeps up with attrition producing roughly 600 new BSOs per year, with no concrete plans to increase recruit throughput at...

There is no Canadian precedent even close to the type of kinetic action that the US has taken in the latest escalation of the "war on drugs", not even during the Turbot War.

That ship has sailed. Clancy died 12 years ago.

How would that be any different than a US drone strike on a suspected fentanyl lab in rural BC?

Well former Liberal Minister Elanor Kaplan did once refer to us as "glorified bank tellers" during discussions in the HoC about arming BSOs. So, I guess that mindset is still prevalent in the LPC.

Once border wait times start to go up in the commercial lanes phone calls start to be made to port chiefs, then local MPs then ministers. Some people don't understand that good security takes time and effort do do right. And if it inconveniences them, then, it's not "good security" any longer...

Not even USCBP has that.

"Border workers" FFS!!!

I talked to a couple of Canadian dealers about this. Firearms that were manufactured in and permanently exported from the US (e.g. exported for sale in an international market) cannot be permanently re-imported into the US without prior consent of the exporting nation and the US government.

I think it's about to get a lot more distracting as details of how this is actually going to not work as advertised by his predecessor are starting to come out. I personally know folks who are looking at a loss of upwards of $50K if the money runs out before their submission is accepted by the...

In the Trudeau era, all the major gun control announcements were made by JT himself, surrounded by the usual assortment of victim groups and backstopped by an angry looking Bill Blair or seriously concerned looking Marco Mendicino. So far, the PMMC government's gun control announcements have...

Firearms owners will be compensated, just not all of them and not fairly. That's a promise kinda kept.

You can easily park a monster truck on a Kia.

I see the 1000 new Mounties mentioned for, I think, the sixth time. No more mention of the 1000 new BSOs for CBSA. I guess the border is secure now?

Smuggled guns are not a problem in Canada. If it were, the government would be spending $742M to address it.

Followed soon afterwards by Trump signing an Executive Order barring them from being operated in the US for "national security" reasons.

Did you just assume my gender? And, yes, I am fun. :)

And, as a law abiding firearms owner, everything lost was reported to your local police as per CCC 105(1)(a), right?

Trump is LASER focused on re-establishing the US as the auto building powerhouse of the Americas. Allowing a Chinese auto manufacturing company to establish a foothold in "his" market will guarantee he economically and politically punishes the hell out of us and China.

Trump is not happy about being passed over for the Nobel Peace Prize.
