First the important news:
Ontario police seize record number of illegal firearms in transnational smuggling investigation
“Illegal firearms like these are used in violent crimes such as robberies, carjackings, home invasions, intimidation, extortion and homicides,” said OPP commissioner Thomas Carrique.
The 106 firearms confiscated in Ontario mark the largest seizure of handguns and assault-style rifles in the province’s history, police said. Of the 168 guns seized in the U.S., most were being smuggled into Ontario through Buffalo, police said, though the investigation reached as far as Florida.
In 17 OPP-led searches conducted earlier this month, police said they also seized a variety of illicit drugs intended for trafficking, like fentanyl and methamphetamine.
So what was the leader of the official opposition tweeting about today?
Trudeau blames these law-abiding hunters in Cambridge after his catch-and-release & unsecured borders doubled gun crime in 8 years.
My common sense plan:
Let grandpa Joe keep his hunting rifle, jail violent gun criminals & secure our ports & borders against smugglers.

If you look at the pictures Pierre Poilievre posted of his little rally, at most 140 people were there. He knows he can’t lie about A THOUSAND people showing up at these things because we’ll call him out on his BS.
Unsecured borders, eh?
Anyone recall when your Harper gov’t cut border staff?
2012 ring a bell, Jeff?

Pierre was recently reminded of this in the House of Commons during Question Period:
“Mr. Speaker, this would be perhaps a little more credible from the Conservative party if they hadn’t cut a thousand CBSA officers when they were last in government, and they proposed to cut four hundred more if they had won the 2015 election.” – Prime Minister Trudeau
Pierre Poilievre is always on the wrong side of everything at the worst possible time.
