Notes from the Resistance
The Yukon government has formally stated it will not participate in the federal mandatory firearms buyback program, placing the territory among a growing group of provincial and territorial governments resisting Ottawa’s gun control policies. [More]
Welcome to the party, buddies, eh?

Update to “Bear Minimums“:
“Teachers successfully repelled the bear using pepper spray and a bear banger.”… Tamara Davidson, British Columbia’s minister of environment and parks, called the teachers who fought off the bear “true heroes,” adding that they were well-prepared…” [More]
Do government flacks know how to do anything but gaslight to keep the obvious from being questioned? If the teachers had been successful and well-prepared there wouldn’t be 11 mauling victims fighting for their lives.

You might ask what kind of teachers would knowingly expose their charges to lethal threats while deliberately having no means of protecting them, and the answer is most of them.

Before I start presuming they’re getting some sense and showing us the way a modern citizen militia should work, I’m going to need to see some indications the mission doesn’t include confiscation support.

What…? The perps had a gun and she did not…?
And if she had, and had used it, she’d be on trial…?

A police officer forgets to put his car in park so the car rolls and runs over the suspect’s legs. Then he jumps in the car and presses gas running over the suspect again and a police officer [More]
“Before we point fingers and make accusations, we’re all human beings, police officers included.”
Noting who’s allowed to be armed and who is subject to Canadian gun confiscation, some of us are apparently deemed more human than others.

Remember when the RCMP broke into homes of a neighborhood and stole firearms from them, while the owners had evacuated due to flooding? [More]
And:
CBRPS has a cattle coral drive-through set up for licensed owners to turn in their guns for the grab. You don’t get out, you just roll up and officers come to your vehicle to retrieve them. [More]
I remember when Sgt. Preston was the good guy. Now, Dudley Do-Right has transitioned into Snidely Whiplash.

In this exclusive interview, Taylor Rhodes, Director of Communications for NAGR, sits down with Rod Giltaca, CEO of the Canadian Coalition for Firearm Rights (CCFR), to unpack the sweeping nationwide gun confiscation policies unfolding in Canada. [Watch]
Tell me leftists aren’t fascists, exemplified by Robert “I’m Not Your Buddy, Friend” Walsh and his imported Sri Lankan enforcer. This is what our Neighbors to the North must endure.
Good interview. That said, I’d like fact check on this claim at @ 20:35:
One of the things we’re proudest of with our organization is passing constitutional carry. Constitutional carry is a is a kind of really a bold idea that really wasn’t popular 15, 20 years ago. Vermont was the first state to ever have it. It was in their constitution that said you if you were legally able to own a firearm, you’re legally able to carry that firearm open or concealed. National Association for Gun Rights has led the charge. There’s 29 states. I think we’re directly responsible for about 24 of those states. The others were were led by other groups or state level organizations.
If so, they deserve to be hailed as the Number One Gun Group in America. I do seem to remember other groups worked to get these passed, too, and think it would be appropriate to quantify comparative efforts and contributions so appropriate gratitude could be expressed.
As for Vermont, that’s not exactly what Article 16 says, but I won’t split hairs.

Ah, a “public/private partnership“…

“This program is really a way to help lawful gun owners stay in compliance with the law.” [Watch]
Talk about industrial grade weasel wording… and what a perfect example of actual fascist mentality.
Then we have Thing 2, a frickin’ Sri Lankan refugee who repays the people who took him in with “Obey of die” mandates.
According to what the premier’s spokesperson told me, Alberta’s response is “Not on our watch.”
“Alberta’s government is exploring various options with provincial, territorial, and federal counterparts and external stakeholders to protect law-abiding firearms owners from federal overreach.” [More]
There’s still a long way to go, but it should not go unnoticed that some Canadian officials sound a lot better than Blue State Democrats.
And if what they want is you…?
At first I thought I’d posted on this already, but when I checked saw that was just a parroted talking point.

The country gave its citizens the right to die. Doctors are struggling to keep up with demand. [More]
There’s that typical collectivist understanding of rights again, so unsurprising, expected, actually, to see being promulgated by The Atlantic.
We could start with asking how much the government making life unbearable has to do with the numbers, and then segue over to why one of the trump cards our domestic prohibitionists pull to ban guns is “suicide,” which they’re evidently all for if it’s the “assisted” kind.
I’d also be curious to know if there are dominant political and theological ideologies common among those seeking early checkout.
Nova Scotia’s trial systems are now “off limits,” with camping, hiking, fishing and even driving through the woods now forbidden. And those who get caught disobeying the ban, could be served with a hefty $25,000 fine. [More]

The Canadian gov has allocated almost $100k to a nationwide survey asking gun owners why they are not complying with the ongoing, failed, mandatory gun buyback. [More]
A point I don’t see being made here: Answering seems like a great way to incriminate yourself. Do they guarantee they won’t trace responses back and use them to establish probable cause? And why would you believe people who demand your guns?
