Feds begin search for vendors to operate firearm confiscation program

The federal government has begun searching for vendors interested in managing their impending firearms confiscation program just weeks after the Trudeau Liberals’ gun legislation became law and nearly four years after their contentious ban on so-called “assault weapons.”

Last month, an Invitation to Qualify (ITQ) was issued by Public Services and Procurement Canada (PSPC) on behalf of Public Safety Canada, seeking to pre-qualify suppliers interested in administering the federal Firearms Buyback Program (FBP), responsible for collecting and eventually destroying over 1,500 firearm models banned under the federal government’s May 1 2020 order-in-council.

“The primary intent of the FBP is to remove the number of newly prohibited firearms from circulation in Canada by offering fair compensation to businesses and individuals impacted by the prohibition,” read an explainer attached to the ITQ, which closes for submissions on Friday.

The government’s firearms confiscation program, according to the terms spelled out within the ITQ, will “acquire collection, verification, validation, transportation, and destruction services for prohibited Assault Style Firearms” on behalf of Public Safety Canada.

“The estimated volume of these firearms held by businesses is within the range of 10,000 to 15,000, and the volume held by individuals is within the range of 125,000 to 200,000,” the ITQ read.

“These estimates could vary as the number of affected non-restricted firearms is unknown.”

‘The state has failed’: Gun case latest to be tossed due to lack of judges at Toronto Superior Court

Sentences lowered for kidnappers, shooters and drug traffickers due to conditions at Toronto's 'Guantanamo South'

Dozens of criminals found guilty of knife attacks, gunplay, drug trafficking and child pornography are among those being given lower sentences and sent back to the street sooner following a standoff between Ontario judges and the provincial government over notorious conditions in a Toronto jail dubbed “Guantanamo South.”

In the last year, records show at least 24 criminals have had their time in custody reduced because of repeated lockdowns, pest infestations and other harsh treatment at the Toronto South Detention Centre, located near Kipling Avenue and the Gardiner Expressway in Etobicoke, as judges give extra credit for time served in inhumane conditions, while critics say Ontario’s government is ignoring the problem.

“I’d like to say it’s unusual, but unfortunately it’s all too common,” said Toronto lawyer Christian Pearce, whose client Yanique Ellison was given a six-month deduction after a guilty plea to manslaughter: he provided a COVID-19 mask as a disguise to another man who shot a bar customer dead after a dispute.

Ellison was triple-bunked in a cell designed for two, and spent almost a year of his time behind bars awaiting trial in lockdown, where inmates have “no privacy and are forced to urinate and defecate in front of their cellmates,” the judge in his case found in December, sentencing him to 7.5 years instead of eight to reflect “exceptionally harsh conditions.”

The provincially-run jail holds inmates before trial and inmates who have been sentenced to less than two years in prison.

As the Trudeau Liberals have dumped over $30 million for four years to the Digital Citizen Initiative, aimed at researchers studying what the government determines to be harmful 'misinformation' online, the University of Toronto (U of T) is embarking on a mission to investigate its sources.

"The Canadian Digital Media Research Network’s (CDMRN) mission is to protect and build resilience within the Canadian information ecosystem by investigating how information is produced, shared, and consumed across all mediums. This survey project is led by an academic team of researchers at the Policy, Elections, and Representation Lab at the University of Toronto," read the MERX statement.

"However, the researchers at U of T need not look any further than Ottawa to uncover the network of misinformation plaguing Canadians.

The Liberals have frequently misled the public, and quite possibly themselves, on the content of their own legislation. With C-21, the Liberal's most recent attack on gun ownership, the Liberals called accusations that the bill outlawed hunting rifles and shotguns "misinformation."

However, the law did exactly that, and the Liberals had to amend that portion of the law after their lies were laid bare.

Four teenagers are in custody after a violent pharmacy robbery and police chase in Oakville on Monday night.

Halton Police officers were called to a pharmacy near Bronte Road and Westoak Trails, north of Upper Middle Road, around 7:30 p.m. for reports of an armed robbery in progress.

It is alleged that four masked suspects entered the store and pulled out a handgun before assaulting two female workers inside. The four grabbed narcotics and cash before leaving.

Responding officers found the suspect vehicle and tried to stop the group but they fled. Police tell CityNews the suspects were stopped on Trafalgar Road south of Dundas Street after a chase and collision involving police cruisers.

The four suspects were arrested in the area.

Police say three boys aged 14 to 16 and an 18-year-old man are facing several robbery, weapons and driving charges.

Suspects steal firearms during break and enter, Waterloo, Ont. man, woman facing charges

A man and woman from Waterloo are facing a slew of weapons charges after they allegedly broke into a north London, Ont. residence earlier this month and stole a number of firearms.

According to the London Police Service, at approximately 6 p.m. on Jan. 13 a homeowner called 9-1-1 to report a break and enter to their home located in the north end of the city.

Upon arrival, officers learned that a number of firearms had been stolen.

No suspects were located.

The investigation was subsequently reassigned to the LPS Street Crime Unit.

Police later reviewed surveillance footage gathered from the area of the break-in which revealed a suspect, a suspect vehicle and a licence plate number.

With the assistance from members of the Waterloo Regional Police Service (WRPS) Patrol Division, the vehicle was located at a residence in Waterloo.

As a result of the investigation, on Jan. 15 at approximately 5 p.m., members of the LPS Street Crime Unit with the assistance of members of the WRPS Emergency Response Team and members of the WRPS Service Property and Financial Crime Unit executed a search warrant at a residence in the Waterloo area.

The search of the residence led to the stolen firearms from the break and enter being located and seized.

Guns, ammunition seized during police raid in Barrie, 4 arrested

Several firearms and ammunition are off the streets of Barrie after police say officers conducted a high-risk vehicle stop and executed a search warrant at a residence on Wednesday.

According to police, the Tactical Support Unit stopped a vehicle in a northeast plaza parking lot and searched a home in the city's north end.

Police say they seized three guns and discovered two of them were stolen from a "violent residential robbery" on Jan. 2.

Three men and one woman, all from Barrie, face several criminal charges, plus court-related offences.

SOUTH OF THE BORDER: Ohio sees drop in gun crimes across major cities after permitless carry law, study shows

Contrary to concerns from some local leaders, a new study shows a decrease in gun crimes across six of Ohio’s eight largest cities following the implementation of the state’s “constitutional carry” law.

The research, conducted by the Center for Justice Research (CJR) in partnership with Bowling Green State University, analyzed data from June 2021 to June 2023, covering a year before and after the law went into effect in June 2022.

It focused on crimes involving firearms, verified gunshot-detection alerts, and the number of officers struck by gunfire.

The findings revealed:

• Overall Decline: Across all eight cities, the rate of gun crimes decreased.
• Significant Drops: Parma experienced the most significant decline (22%), followed by Akron and Toledo (both 18%).
• Mixed Trends: Dayton and Cincinnati saw increases in gun crime rates (6% and 5%, respectively).

“This is not to downplay the very real problem of gun violence in our cities,” noted Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost, who commissioned the study. “But the key takeaway here is that we need to focus on criminals, not responsible gun owners.”
