he Canadian province of Alberta is opposing the national government's firearms ban and is taking steps to prevent the potential seizure of thousands of guns under Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's mandatory firearm buyback program.

Alberta Justice Minister Tyler Shandro, the province's top legal official, said last week that Canada's minister of public safety requested police resources to start seizing firearms this fall.

Shandro opposed having Royal Canadian Mounted Police officers confiscate weapons and said he will protest any provincial-federal policing agreement, according to the CBC, Canada's state-funded news network.

"Alberta taxpayers pay over $750 million per year for the RCMP and we will not tolerate taking officers off the streets in order to confiscate the property of law-abiding firearms owners," Shandro said.

Teri Bryant, Alberta's chief firearms officer, also stood firmly against firearm confiscation.

"I have previously expressed strong opposition to the federal government's plans to prohibit and confiscate some 30,000 lawfully acquired firearms from Albertans," he said. "The planned confiscations represent a fatal approach to reducing violence in Canadian society and are unwarranted and unacceptable infringements on the property rights and personal freedoms of Albertans."

I once visited Alberta. My impression is it is totally different from the liberal enclaves of Montreal and Toronto.

I support what they are doing to stop this stupid gun confiscation. It's time to stop the government from taking rights away and this cause is a great place to start.

I was actually pleasantly surprised to even hear this. I thought the entire nation had fallen under the minimarxist.
I wonder if this move has anything to do with the passing of the queen?

Keep in mind in Canada they do not have a second amendment.

Yep, and that's been the biggest problem in Canada. Their constitution was written to protect the govt, not the people.

   




The ruling United Conservative Party in the Canadian province of Alberta has selected a new leader known for her sovereigntist stance toward the Canadian federal government led by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

Danielle Smith was elected the new leader of the United Conservatives and will become Alberta's new Premier and head of the provincial government after succeeding former Premier Jason Kenney, who stepped down earlier this year after three years in office.

Following her victory, Smith made it clear that she supports an Alberta free from interference from the federal government led by Prime Minister Trudeau, saying: "No longer will Alberta ask permission from Ottawa to be prosperous and free. We will not have our voices silenced or censored. We will not be told what we must put in our bodies in order that we may work or travel," the CBC reports.

"We will not have our resources landlocked or our energy phased out of existence by virtue-signalling prime ministers. Albertans, not Ottawa, will chart our own destiny on our terms, and will work with our fellow Canadians to build the most free and prosperous country on earth," Smith added.

It's hard for the government to sell the law abiding people on gun confiscation when that same government is letting criminals walk the streets with illegal guns.
More proof people are waking up just in time to make sure the great reset fails.

Counting On It!
It would appear Canada is like Socal vs Norcal,, or Texas vs Seattle, where half the people hate and despise communists, while the other half elects them.
