Alberta, Canada, is not like the rest of Canada. There is a secession movement due to Canada’s leftist policies.
“[Alberta Premier] Danielle Smith says all levels of government and police within the province, including RCMP, have been instructed not to participate in Mark Carney’s gun confiscation,” the Canadian Coalition for Firearm Rights (CCFR) summarizes for an “Alberta Next” Town Hall video posted September 5 to its YouTube channel. Titled “Danielle Smith: Alberta Won’t Allow Gun Confiscation,” the summary adds “she’ll also close the ‘mail delivery services loophole,’ to stop services like Canada Post from helping the feds, as Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe already has.”
Because of a substantial Canadian readership, and because firearms laws imposed in “our neighbor to the North” are of interest to U.S. gun owners (not the least reason being that there are those who would mandate infringements enacted there on citizens here) I wrote to Premier Smith on behalf of Firearms News via her Press Secretary, Sam Blackett, requesting that she “clarify and expand on some comments she made” at the Town Hall.
That letter follows:
Dear Premier Smith,
I am writing to you on behalf of Firearms News (previously Shotgun News) a monthly U.S. magazine that has been sold throughout Canada since 1946 and enjoys broad gun owner readership in your province. I am hoping to clarify and expand on some comments you made recently regarding “gun control” and am hopeful you or your designated spokesperson can spare a few moments to answer some questions that are of great interest to our readers and to your gun owning constituents.
