  1. Wow are they out on bail, did they get released the same day? Just asking. So here we have a modified hunting rifle, with no intent on hunting but none other then the use of it for criminal involvement! So know the law abiding citizens that hunt are going to pay the price here again with Mr. trudeau and Blairs inept attitude to the general hunting population! 90 % of the charges will be plea bargained away and they will walk again! Minimum sentences are or will be removed from the criminal code for the use of firearms in a criminal activity. Its okay though, we live in a democratic country and support criminals and fail the victim! Safe day to all first responders and those on the front lines! THANK YOU!

  2. Bill C-75 was amended by the Trudeau government which prohibits police from holding most criminals. People complain about how unsafe the feel in their city suddenly. Well, the amendments were made June 2019. What we are witnessing wasn’t created by COVID19 but in fact the C75 amendments. Please take seriously your votes. If you like to sacrifice your quality of life for an idelogy….then vote Liberal. If you want pragmatic solutions for problems…..vote Conservative.
