My money is the the Conservatives already having legislation waiting for finalization on a number of topics. I expect the docket on new bills is going to be quite high and will be enacted pretty darn quick after the election.
At least I hope.

The RCMP Firearms Lab already does this with every new firearm added to the FRT.

A super majority is a different beast and is a specific term so no, not sure he knew that or not. No such thing at the federal level. There was no picking fly shit out of pepper.
lol. You quoting the CBC is rich…
However that is specific to the N.S. legislature and is not the same practice in the HoC. And in the N.S. it is only for procedural changes to the legislature not any requirement for legislation.
So I will amend my point by saying no such thing at the federal level (and is only specific to certain things provincially).
regardless of how big the majority is for the CPC all they need is a simple majority to try and change the laws without resistance in the house. They could certainly use procedural tricks that they and the LPC have used more often than not like limiting debate and pushing through comitee which they will certainly control. The issue is still the Senate. And then appeals to the SoC if the legislation is bad.
Agreed but I doubt they can fix it the way people want them to. We’ll see but I suspect that many will be disappointed. But they can blame the senators that do try and block, delay etc

When used in connection with the US electoral standard. I would also say there is colloquial verbiage as well as it was in this case.
I had to make sure it would be a source that would suit your.... Sensibilities and politics.
If there was a moving the goal posts .gif I would put it here.
Yes, and we’ve seen plenty of people confuse American politics with Canadian politics. Nothing in my statement was meant to be confrontational. You made it that way. It was for accuracy. Something you hate at times but that’s your problem not mine. I know your aversion to defining terms.
Ah and here I thought it was your usual occasional hypocrisy on some things. I stand corrected again I guess. But it looks like you didn’t even read it based on your use of that source,
No moving goal post. Not sure you understand what that is. But I at least can admit if I’ve erred and can clarify.
But hey you do you, I expect no less.
Cheers and Happy New year.

Legislation & regs attached - Royal Assent was in November, rules took effect end of December.
ANALYSIS: Manitoba is regulating machetes, could national knife control be next?
Chief Angela Levasseur of the Nisichawayasihk Cree Nation in remote northern Manitoba has a big knife problem. Machetes — foot-long, bush knives popular with campers and farmers — have become the weapon of choice for young gang members terrorizing her 3,500-member reserve.

TAYLOR: Manitoba is regulating machetes, could national knife control be next?
“Over the last two years we have seen a really high level of machete crimes committed by youth and on youth in our community,” says Chief Angela Levasseur from Nelson House, 850 km northwest of Winnipeg. “It’s just too easy for anyone to possess a machete.”

I understand banning assault machetes'
But why hunting machettes?
Because even the simplest of machette can be lethal:

Machetes are a big deal up on the Rez's in Northern MB - last place I worked had used to have people get hacked up frequently by the half or full dozen. We had a murder in my community just before Christmas from one...then there were those meth heads in Sask that went on their cutting rampage...I understand banning assault machetes'
But why hunting machettes?
Ironically I have one I use for weeds and brush in and around my garage...I also studied both Kali and Kendo for a bit, Kali in particular as one of the main weapons simulated by your ratan sticks is a bolo - a machete/sword. Can cause a lot of badness even if you don't know what you're doing with them. I do also have a katana and bokken (oak training katana) - the bokken on it's own can and would cause a lot of damage, as it's hard and heavy and your main targets are the head and clavicles...then you can beat the arms and legs to your heart's content if they're still fighting, but with 2 broken collarbones, you might just be fighting the Black Knight at that point...Because even the simplest of machette can be lethal:

45 firearms stolen from RCMP since 2014, including grenade launcher
At least 45 firearms have been stolen from the Royal Canadian Mounted Police since 2014, including 33 handguns and a grenade launcher.
The numbers quoted in the article are alarming and unacceptable. Especially them losing full auto weapons. From previous convo here, I'm pretty sure the only ones with full auto are ERT and close protection. I stand to be corrected. Point being these are some of the most highly trained RCMP. How do things go missing from these people? I'm still trying to understand how this whole thing can happen. Just how horrible is their security?
Even if my house were a fortress and all my stuff is in safes and locked up, should someone manage to get in and steal my stuff, The crown would still confiscate everything else I had left and charge me and recind my PAL. It doesn't sound like from the article, any of these stolen weapons resulted in charges for the ones responsible for them.
