I’m not sure how effective this will be but regardless, it sure is a step in the right direction
imagine if our pretend Conservative premier stood up for us like Danielle does for Albertans ??
it's almost shocking to see some sensibility in government,
Danielle Smith ROCKS!!
The same should be done in Ontario
in actual fact the federal government needs to be abolished and have 12 provincial governments work together to establish a Canadian union
currently we have 380 paid representatives that accomplish absolutely nothing positive on a daily basis.
Good on them here we trying to ban the airsoft and paintball guns. Like that's going to make the streets safer.
Don't count on Ford to stop it he's on board with the Trudeau regime.

Well I would not be getting to excited about this video, for a start just within the video they fudge the figures, initially they have a MASSIVE firearms community consisting of 300,000Quote:

So lets give them the benefit of the doubt and say there is 340,000 gun owners the total population of Alberta is 4.34 million.
Also as we all know Firearm's Legislation is a Federal Government mandate and this has been backed by the Supreme Court. Any legislation they bring in can be challenged on this basis alone, that is why they are treading lightly right now.
The NDP are pretty close in contention for the upcoming provincial election and Premier Smith might well be gone. IMHO
I would not say Conservative Premier Doug Ford is on board with the Trudeau regime he is more on board with the constitution and rule of law.Quote:

So sure they can fill their boots with any popular Alberta law and that law can just as easily be shot down.

Gilly, I won’t disagree with you in the respect that the result may be fruitless with respect to the criminal code being a federal jurisdiction. BUT it sure is nice to see government doing whatever they can to get in Trudeau’s way.
I am the stage now that a ONE SIZE does not fit all. I am a lot more open to Provinces and Territories bringing in laws that are better for their citizens.Quote:

Different discussions need to take place and I think the Alberta move will be healthy for the whole country.
So will this if it happens.Quote:

If I was involved in the Federal system I would be more than happy to allow Provinces to run their own firearms legislation and make their own laws.Quote:

Handguns flowing across the border from Montana to Alberta and causing havoc=not our problem.
I personally think Alberta would do better at securing their border. That’s just my 0.02. I personally am never against localizing government, but that’s easy to say since we don’t have many modern examples of a more localized political system.
On the other hand lets say they did a GREAT job at defending their own border and guns get smuggled in via other Provinces? What then.....Quote:
