The gun revolution has spread! It rather reminds me of how secession in the United States started in South Carolina and soon spread to all the southern states. .Of course, no one is talking about separation, but Western Canada is again telling the federal government where it can go with its painfully inept policies. .Now Saskatchewan is telling Prime Minister Justin Trudeau it will not fund his insane confiscation of “assault-style” firearms. .Doesn’t it remind you of when the late Alberta Premier Peter Lougheed told Justin Trudeau’s father, Pierre Trudeau, that he could take his National Energy Program and shove it? In those days, it was British Columbia that stood by Alberta’s side with the Social Credit government of Premier Bill Bennett — today B.C. is a woke, socialist wasteland obsessed with racial identity politics, climate change hysteria and transgender pronouns and would gladly confiscate everyone’s kitchen knives without bothering to apologize. .Yes, I know this gun program is officially a “buyback” program, but do you really want the feds to come to your doorstep and start demanding you sell them your antiques? Thousands, perhaps millions, could be lost by families who will immediately be criminalized if they don’t participate in this charade. .Trudeau used the description “assault-style” for two reasons: He doesn’t know a firearm from a golf club, and secondly the term can mean just about anything Trudeau decides it can mean. Even a Civil War musket could qualify, since these rifles were certainly used to assault opposing troops. .How do the RCMP feel about all this? Well, of course, the leadership of the federal force has been severely compromised by its undying loyalty to Trudeau and has become politically entangled with the Department of Justice and Prime Minister’s Office in the same way as the American FBI is now working more for U.S. President Joe Biden than attempting to deliver objective policing. .But I mean, how do you think the average RCMP constable or corporal feels about bullying average Canadians about handing over their “dangerous” firearms or else? Most of these people probably haven’t even handled their guns in years and many have forgotten they’re in the attic. .But don’t you think these same police officers aren’t asking themselves this question: “Why in hell didn’t this genius Trudeau think of asking the provinces to spend some money on preventing criminals from accessing firearms?” But like the disgraced long gun registry, the federal government is not really concerned about public safety anymore than any of its crackpot COVID-19 proposals — from ArriveCAN to endless booster shots — are going to make life any safer. .You see, it’s a strange fact of life criminals don’t queue up to hand over their weapons, or register their firearms or cooperate with the police or comply with the law. That’s why they’re criminals. But Trudeau’s assault on assault-style weapons is nothing but a political stunt — or more precisely the sort of improvisational competition he might have challenged his drama students with.It’s all so very unreal only a leader like Trudeau, so blissfully distanced from reality, could actually imagine executing such a chimeric but absurd notion. It's theatre of the absurd — which is where Trudeau should have lent his expertise along with moonlighting as a groovy blackface performer and tone deaf piano bar singer..So let the revolution continue. And just a note here, one has to agree with Alberta United Conservative Party leadership candidate Danielle Smith — full disclosure, a valued friend — that non-cooperation with the new gun law is tangential with the Alberta Sovereignty Act. But it should be noted Alberta already possesses the right to opt out of federal legislation under the Constitution and that’s called the Notwithstanding Clause. Quebec has consistently used it over the years to protect what it sees as its language and culture.Maybe Alberta and Western Canada should use it more often to protect its culture and, in some cases, to defend itself from insane federal policies and moronic federal leaders.
