From our friends at the CCFR.

The Trudeau government is preparing to implement part of the promised firearms reform through regulation, the CBC has learned. Ottawa could act as early as this week to ban certain weapons.

As another gun tragedy has just rocked the country, the Liberals seem determined to quickly turn this crucial part of their electoral platform into reality.

Regulatory changes could be published in the Official Canada Gazette as early as Friday.

The Minister of Public Safety has submitted a recommendation to the Prime Minister of Canada, who must give final approval.

According to our information, this proposal aims in particular to ban 11 types of weapons.

Justin Trudeau could give his approval today, while final discussions are still underway.

In the last election campaign, the Liberals promised to ban military-style assault weapons, including the AR-15 rifle.

It’s not yet known when these changes will take effect, or whether there will be a short-term buy-back program. The Prime Minister's Office declined to comment on the matter.

Liberal election promises

Ban military-style assault weapons, including the AR-15;
Establish a buy-back program for all military-style assault weapons legally purchased in Canada;
Work with the provinces and territories to give municipalities the ability to further restrict or ban firearms.

Poly remembers on the lookout

The Poly lobby group remembers eagerly awaiting the proposed reform. Spokesman Heidi Rathjen writes: We hope to see a similar approach to that of New Zealand, which would include the Ruger Mini-14, the weapon that was used during the polytechnic killing.

For the moment, Radio-Canada has not been able to confirm which weapons are subject to the ban.

The group also warns that this ban will have to be accompanied by more in-depth changes.

The ban on existing models by regulation should be followed by a more general reform of the classification system, which still allows for the introduction of new assault models, said Rathjen.

More details will follow.

So much for a democracy...

And so much for evidence based decisions.

How convenient to do it when I can't meet my liberal MP due to social distancing. I fear the end of democracy.

There was never going to be an evidence based decision.

Covid is fading at the moment and Nova Scotia woke up the rabid anti gun crowd.

Trudeau is having wet dreams while he is awake with this one.

They are going to try and slip it in quietly while the whole country is distracted and most people due to the recentness of the shooting are still aggrieved. They know that letting months get between the tragedy and discussion in parliament will allow heads to cool and real questions get asked, a situation that does not help them. We need some real screaming right now from our representative allies to now allow them to do this. Because once its done, it becomes next to impossible to be undone.

[VolkSturm33]

Well this is a rumor that is not confirmed yet. So lets all wait till things are actually announced before we jump to conclusions.

[Chuckbuster]

Heidi wants and is expecting the Turd to go full New Zealand on this. Quelle surprise. Well, what if they gave a ban and no one showed up...?

[THESEUS]

Minority Government running things like a Majority and the Opposition seemingly helpless
Its a dictatorship and we are screwed

[bdiddlez]

where is the money for the buy back coming from? western Canada is in a crappy spot economically. and Eastern Canada has never really been a big money maker. And that is not even touching on the amount of money that has been spent and/or not received due to covid and rail blockades..... like what is going on within Canada its ridiculous.
They should also be looking at banning decals..... because they had a huge part in what happened with the recent tragedy. Why do people who most likely have no knowledge on guns make gun laws..

[caramel]

I hope i was able to buy all the ones they want to ban.
