Saturday night’s contest was
to battle very hard to stay in the

as the game was controlled mostly
by the opponent early on. Alex

acrobatic save one after another

MP Eric Duncan
Hunters Wrongfully
Targeted -Again- by Liberals
espite a winter parliamentary recess, the issue of firearms and government
community. To put it simply, the most important job of any government is to
keep you safe.
Sadly, new Statistics Canada data has shown just how badly public safety
has eroded nationally under the Trudeau government’s watch. The facts are
staggering; since 2015, violent crime is up 32% across Canada, and gang
homicides are up 92%. It is not by chance that this major crime increase has
happened under a Liberal Government. In fact, there is a direct correlation to
soft-on-crime policies, like the weakening of sentencing laws by Justin Trudeau,
and the increase in violent crime. The Liberals repealed mandatory minimum
sentences for gun crimes, have made it easier to get bail, and have failed to stop
the flow of illegal guns from coming across the US border. This disturbing trend
The Liberals approach to gun crime is going further in the wrong direction by
targeting law-abiding hunters and sports shooters here in our community. Newly
introduced amendments to the Liberal’s Bill C-21 will ban millions of commonly
used hunting rifles. Let’s be clear: hunting rifles are not the problem, and no
one believes that going after hunters, and legitimate hunting rifles, will reduce
violent crime in this country. What’s worse is the way this ban was introduced.
It was done in a sneaky, underhanded, and undemocratic way that did not allow
for a parliamentary debate or experts to provide testimony. Instead of going after
the illegal guns used by criminals and gangs, the Liberals and NDP have chosen
to target law-abiding hunters, farmers, and Indigenous people. Furthermore, the
Premiers of all 13 provinces and territories recently signed a letter addressed to
the Prime Minister arguing that the time for action on bail reform is now. They
agree with Conservatives that Justin Trudeau’s approach to crime has failed, and
Conservatives support common-sense firearms policies that will keep guns
out of the hands of dangerous criminals. A law-abiding, licensed hunter in St.
Andrew’s West or Finch is not a public safety risk. An emboldened gang leader
in Brampton with illegal guns and a list of repeat violent convictions is the real
problem that must be addressed. Law-abiding, outdoor loving rural Canadians
just want to be left alone and not targeted by their government. I couldn’t agree
more, and Conservatives will continue this fight when Parliament resumes in a
few short days.
