CSSA: MINISTER BLAIR’S MANDATE LETTER IS FILLED WITH CONTRADICTION
CSSA COMMENTARY: MINISTER BLAIR’S MANDATE LETTER IS FILLED WITH CONTRADICTION
Instead of focusing on the opioid crisis that’s claimed almost 14,000 lives since Trudeau was elected in 2015, his priority for Bill Blair is to take away guns from federally-licensed, RCMP-vetted Canadians. Opioids are a massive threat to public safety, yet the Trudeau government isn’t lifting a finger to address this clear and present danger to Canadians.[ii] Why not? Probably for the same reason the Trudeau government isn’t lifting a finger to address the 443,000 people who are prohibited from owning firearms yet reoffend almost daily.[iii] It takes time, effort and resources to tackle such mundane but serious issues, and it lacks the critical requirement for any Liberal firearms initiative: virtue-signalling.

CSSA COMMENTARY: RCMP FAILS TO TRACK VIOLENT OR SEXUAL OFFENDERS
RCMP MONITORS LICENSED GUN OWNERS INSTEAD – What do you call the group the RCMP considers a bigger threat to public safety than convicted sex offenders, pedophiles and violent criminals? Canada’s 2.1 million licensed firearm owners. While the RCMP investigates every single licenced, law-abiding gun owner in Canada daily as part of their Continuous Licence Eligibility Screening Program, our national police force can’t tell us anything about how often, or even if, they check up on convicted rapists, pedophiles or violent criminals. It’s not that the RCMP doesn’t possess the information. They do. TEAM CSSA E-NEWS | MARCH 10, 2018
