A lot will depend on how the police unions approach this paid-duty scheme. Since it won't come out of department's budgets nor impact the number of front line officers available for regular policing and their members will profit from it, I expect there will be a lot of buy-in. However, will...

Remember that we are lucky that compensation is being offered at all. The Firearms Act has provisions for seizure and forfeiture without compensation for any good and sufficient reason such as "that model is now prohibited and you can no longer possess it". The antis have always stood against...

Like I posted earlier, QC will probably see significant participation due to the SQ maintaining a functioning registry. Make no mistake, the old registry data is still out there and will likely be used by the RCMP as a baseline outside of ON and QC.

That varies between police services, unfortunately. There's no consistency.

See my reply to Brihard, above.

You beat me to it! Could be that Canadian registered Chinese manufactured vehicles would have to have some features disabled IOT be allowed to cross into the US temporarily. Permanent importation, such as when a Canadian is in the US on a work permit or as a settler, might be forbidden.

Couldn't agree more. But, according to the linked Global article, he came here legitimately on a study permit. Unfortunately, as reported in the media, not every study permit holder actually comes here to study, which is why the government made it harder to obtain and retain a study permit...

I believe it varies based on the drag coefficient of the surface on which the test is being conducted. Is that DFit app still live? I was one of the lab rats who tested it back in 2012/13 ad it had some good routines back then.

Not bloody likely. As October 2026 draws near and participation outside QC begins to resemble Cape Breton, I expect the LPC will take a much harder line against gun owners and bring in some pretty harsh penalties for non-compliance. Nathalie has Gary by the balls and he knows it.

He, personally, may not care. But his employees, who are paid for the job of ensuring he remains the richest man in the world so they don't lose their jobs, certainly care about each and every $3 subscription.

By then the damage will be irreveversibly done. No one who spent $3k+ on a tricked out AR platform, then was forced turned it in for $0 is going to buy another one in the hopes that the CPC can codify sensible gun laws for the foreseeable future so they don't lose it in a future ban.

Done, but need more firepower and broader authorities outside of the Customs Controlled Areas. MND said that's not on the table, despite that fish cops (a part of DFO) are already armed. Done. Good question. Provincial sheriffs in some provinces are already armed as are local and provincial...

And not only from private citizens. A small historical note. The CPC government were the ones to arm CBSA officers beginning in 2006. The Liberals campaigned on reversing that in 2008 and many Liberal supporters and some senior government officials still believe the initiative should be...

At the risk of derailing this thread, I believe we are closer than ever to that eventuality with this government. Gun Grab Gary and his shadow minister Nathalie P have ,moved the file quite quickly in recent months. Now that the SQ have signed on to participate, there will be increased...

That ship has sailed. Once PMMC achieves his majority, the end of private firearms ownership in Canada is not too far in the future.

That's "enthusiast", thank you very much.

This is considered in the DHS UoF policy (which @brihard posted earlier {https://www.dhs.gov/sites/default/files/2023-02/23_0206_s1_use-of-force-policy-update.pdf}) and articulated therein (VI(7)(B)2a) as a reason to generally NOT fire on a moving vehicle.

That's why I cinch my vest up pretty snug. :)

My thoughts as well. However, I recently saw some stills captures posted that purport to show an impact between the ICE officer and the victim's vehicle, but they were of quite low quality so I'm not going to comment on them.

Québec police have signed on to the gun grab for $12M. You'll likely see very high compliance in QC due to them having a functioning and fairly up-to-date long gun registry. But $12M won't go far.
