Last I heard of Cukier she was getting in a lot of trouble at Ryerson for bullying. I believe it cost her being president of the university.

That 10m is likely on the low side, probably based off the long gun registry and all imported after it went into effect. Before the long gun registry there was a estimated 15-20m firearms in Canada. A ton of firearms were never registered in that program so I believe that to be more accurate.

A half baked release in January and before that, March 25. You'd think she'd be typing her little heart out with all the current shenanigans going on.
Their FB page hasn't had a post since Apr 23, mind there is only 597 followers.
I was hoping against hope they were in their death throws.
Then I looked at their X page.

Interesting often isn't positive. They may be evaluating new ways to force compliance administratively, rather than just relying on firearms owners being honest, law abiding citizens.

They have no acutal plan for the collection (confiscation) or payment. My expectation is that they will come up short on willing volunteers from police services to staff their collection teams, which is why they said that collections will be implemented in areas with significant uptake on the program. Other areas will have to wait.
I also expect that in QC their gun registry will eventually be used to identify and confiscate guns which have not been declared.
Lastly, I also expect that any "buyback" money paid out will be taxed at source. Your expected $500 will turn out to be $440, if the cheque ever arrives.

I prefer to be pleasantly surprised when things go well, rather than upset when they go poorly. Lol

Hopefully there's some wicked messy protests. Make our paid-duty friends really work for their money.
I'll be surprised if they actually go through with compensation. I can see them delaying the confiscation to find different ways to force more compliance.

The businesses that submitted items for destruction haven't been paid yet....why do you think individuals would get paid?
