Gun control org admits Liberal gun bans were aimed at legal handgun owners, hunting rifles will be next

In a recent interview with journalist Swidda Rassy of CityNews Montreal, a spokesperson for Polysesouvient confirmed suspicions that the Liberal Party had focused its gun ban legislation on disarming licensed handgun owners, not criminals, saying Bill C-21 was “Basically...a phase out of the private possession of [legal] handguns over the next three or four generations.”

“It’s not everything we wanted,” she said. “There’s still hundreds of models of ‘assault weapons’ that are legal.”

Heidi Rathjen says the question of assault weapons is not only a public safety measure, but it’s also a symbol of the kind of country we want to have.

“Are they listening to the public? Are they listening to women? Or are they siding with the gun lobby in the gun industry to make these killer weapons that are used in mass shootings legal for private possession, for recreational purposes?”

It's expected that groups like Polysesouvient will continue to push for further bans on remaining hunting rifles and shotguns via their participation on the Canadian Firearms Advisory Committee (CFAC), a committee that Liberals have promised to bring back this year.

Detector dogs could help sniff out more fentanyl and firearms, review finds

An internal evaluation by Canada’s border agency suggests its detector dogs could play a bigger role in sniffing out deadly fentanyl and illicit firearms.

The agency has dozens of canines trained to detect smuggled currency, drugs, guns, and food, plant and animal products.

A recently published evaluation found the detector dog service helped reduce threats by effectively intercepting such regulated and prohibited goods at the border.

But it says the program had a limited role in helping detect smuggled firearms.

In addition, some dog handlers and their managers saw a need to train more canines to intercept fentanyl and precursor chemicals used to make such drugs.

The evaluation report recommends further review of the detector dog program and allocation of resources to determine how the animals could be best used for enforcement.

Hamilton police reveal shootings down in 2023 but gun seizures lower than last year

Hamilton Police (HPS) is painting a picture of what kind of difference reallocating frontline resources did this past year to battle increasing gun violence in the city, which rose some 24 per cent in 2022.

With just days left in 2023, HPS reported just 33 shootings since January 2023 equating to 12 fewer than the 45 recorded a year ago.

Although shootings are down, the 442 guns taken off the streets appear to be falling short of the 526 the service reported as seized all of last year.

HPS says 22 people were considered victims of gun crime in 2023, up five from the 17 recorded in 2022.

Some 172 charges were also laid in connection with the 33 shootings this year.

In December 2022, Police chief Frank Bergen told Global News the movement of firearms across the Golden Horseshoe was “not good’ and sparked conversations with federal, provincial and greater Toronto-area partners on a “step-up” to stop the growing trend.

Provincial police executed a high-risk takedown in Wasaga Beach after reports of road rage involving a loaded firearm.

According to police, several callers reported seeing the incident as the two vehicles headed into the beachfront town early Tuesday afternoon.

"Two of these callers were occupants from the vehicles involved, one stating they were being run off the road and the other stating an occupant pointed a firearm at them," OPP stated in a Wednesday release.

A 32-year-old man from Penetanguishene is charged with uttering threats to cause death or bodily harm, possessing a loaded prohibited or restricted firearm, possessing a prohibited device or ammunition for a dangerous purpose, using a firearm while committing an offence, and discharging a firearm with intent.

Additionally, a 33-year-old woman from Penetanguishene was charged with dangerous operation.

OPP officers with the Huronia West detachment are investigating the incident and ask anyone with information or video footage to contact them at 705-429-3575 or at 1-888-310-1122.

Winnipeg lounge shooting sends woman to hospital

A shooting at a lounge in downtown Winnipeg sent one woman to hospital on Monday.

According to the Winnipeg Police Service (WPS), officers responded to a shooting in the 200 block of St. Mary Avenue around 1:30 a.m. on New Year’s Day.

Police said a female inside the lounge suffered a gunshot wound, and the suspect fled the scene. Police provided emergency medical care, including a tourniquet, and the victim, in her 20s, was transported to the hospital in stable condition. No other parties were injured.

'Multiple individuals' fired shots at vehicle in Coquitlam: RCMP

There are currently no reported injuries from a “brazen daytime shooting” near Coquitlam Centre on Thursday afternoon, Mounties said.

Shots rang out in the area of Johnson Street and Glen Drive just before 3 p.m., according to police.

“Police received multiple reports that multiple individuals had shot at a vehicle and were pointing a firearm,” the Coquitlam RCMP detachment said in a news release appealing for witnesses and videos.

Police found bullet holes and casings in the area, and “quickly located” two suspects.

“We are extremely lucky that no one was injured during this brazen daytime shooting in a very populated area,” said Supt. Keith Bramhill, Officer in Charge of Coquitlam RCMP, in the release.

“As we are in the initial stages of the investigation, we are asking anyone who may have witnessed the shooting or saw a man pointing a firearm in the area of Johnson Street and Glen Drive to contact police,” he continued.

Hindu temple leader says shots fired at son's home in Surrey, B.C.

The leader of a Metro Vancouver Hindu temple says his son's Surrey, B.C., home was the target of a Wednesday morning shooting.

Satish Kumar, president of Surrey's Lakshmi Narayan Mandir temple, says his son was awakened by a disturbance outside his Newton-area home around 2 a.m. on Dec. 27, but couldn't see anything amiss when he looked out the front door.

It wasn't until after Kumar's son woke up around 8 a.m. that he saw the apparent bullet holes in his garage door and on the gate to his property — about 11 in total, Kumar told CBC News.

"We have no idea what the reason is," Kumar said on Sunday. "It's very scary, very disturbing."

Four glass panels on the home's garage door were shattered and boarded up with wood on Sunday, with at least two apparent bullet holes in the metal frame of the panels visible to a CBC reporter at the scene.

Surrey RCMP said Thursday that no one was injured in the shooting on 80 Avenue, and they are still trying to determine the motive behind it.

Kumar says neither he nor his son have received threats. He also says neither he nor his son have any relation to the Lower Mainland gang conflict, or involvement in any political or religious disputes.

Surrey and Abbotsford are seeing rising levels of gun violence and South Asian communities, particularly Sikhs, are worried for their safety after the shooting death of Surrey gurdwara president Hardeep Singh Nijjar in June, Kumar said.

"All the communities are very scared about what's going on," he said, noting he and local South Asian leaders are planning a community safety meeting for next weekend.

"This is not only gunshots at my son, this could happen to anybody in the future."
