Yes and if you live in an urban area you may be told to use the fine public transportation the generous government has instituted.
Or if you are privileged the generous government of the people may give you a fine bicycle!!

Just got mine. They are basically sending it out to everyone with a PAL. Now I have to decide if I'll declare 27 former restricted now prohib. If I'm lucky I'll may recoup 40%.and be left with a boatload of optics, parts, mags, tools etc etc that I can't use. Ain't life grand.

Ah. I see what you're getting at. I think EVERY American should be embarrassed by the behaviour of their president, but I think they (again all Americans) should be angry with his policies.
More specifically, you're asking should Americans who voted for Trump be embarrassed because he is enacting policies that seem counterproductive, damaging, or down right stupid. But, you're using this as a metaphor to ask whether Liberal voters should be embarrassed because the Liberals have now enacted (or rather, are pushing through with) a policy that they should view as stupid, unhelpful, or downright counterproductive.
Firstly, I don't think anyone should be "embarrassed". Pissed off, sure, but not "embarrassed". Second, not everyone "should"; why would they? For plenty of Liberals, this policy makes perfect sense; they WANT less access to guns. Even those Liberal voters who are pro-Gun may be nothing more than ambivalent.
Still not sure what this has to do with me.

You still have to declare regardless. Looks like it will auto populate with the restricted you have on file. The others that were former unrestricted have to be entered manually.

If you choose to participate, you're supposed to declare all prohibs. You don’t have to participate in the pre registration.

I believe you need to declare them all at once and then sure back and wait to see which, if any, you get money for.
Like a lottery.
I wonder if they'll look at what you own and give you compensation for a couple of the cheapest ones you have and move on. Spread the "wealth".
if don't declare by the end of march you don't get any compensation. And it's first come first served, so if you are participating declare as early as possible.

except they dont about the non registered ones.
take your chances on the amnesty continuing?

i dont see how you can not participate on the registered firearms. They already know about them. So the first 136000 declared get the money and the other million get squat

I'm just being petulant assuming you voted Liberal after mentioning being a proud progressive. I still think you're a cool dude even if you're probably obsessed with soup.
You're right about people being ambivalent. I think anyone who voted Liberal should be embarassed by their support for the government, specifically leading to this. The truth is many don't care, and many will be very happy over this. Some will no doubt be angry the Liberals even offered $1 compensation. I hope karma kicks into over drive here.
yeah, I doubt I'll get anything for my AR-15s, but they know about them so I might as well try to get something for them.

I guess it boils down to if you think under pressure, or by non compliance the government eventually either terminates the buyback program, grandfathers the remaining AR's and cites whatever they collected as a "success" for the Quebec voters.
Once you declare eventually you'll have to turn them in. What your doing and I suspect some will turn them in for the promise of something and that's what the government is hoping and how they structured the buyback.
Everyone has to make a decision.

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 compensation as it would give owners cash to buy replacement firearms like an SKS.
they will collect/confiscate the formerly restricted guns before they give up the on program IMO. They know who has them and where they are. Collecting them will be an easy victory "we got X guns off the street".

Common law and pre-1867 property rights are enshrined in the Constitution (reinforced by the Bill of Rights). The government cannot declare they owe you nothing as much as they would like to.
If we had to pay slave owners compensation you have to pay gun owners compensation.
They aren’t getting anything from me, I will deactivate and make a art display before I surrender anything.
