Bill Blair Commissions Hunting Gun Ban Poll
« on: September 15, 2021, 11:00:48 AM »

In an interesting turn of events, Bill Blair recently commissioned a study about banning hunting firearms. Anyone care to guess why?

"Public Safety Minister Bill Blair’s department commissioned pre-election polling on whether to ban hunting rifles and shotguns. More than a third of people favoured a ban, mainly those who were “not very or at all familiar” with firearms regulations.
...
“The objective of this research was to set benchmarks of Canadians’ knowledge of the potential risks they face, their perception of the issue, their current level of understanding as well as their willingness to participate in new government programs,” wrote Environics.
...
Cabinet to date has not proposed any outright ban on rifles, shotguns or handguns. No explanation was given as to why Minister Blair’s department polled the question.

Wendy Cukier, who is well known for providing advice to Bill Blair, Trudeau and Singh in gun control matters, had this tidbit to opine:

In general we have to be very attentive to the fact that hunting rifles and shotguns in the wrong hands are as lethal or more lethal than the handguns that seem to be attracting all of the attention lately.

Looking like BC will be a bust for Justin and his team:

in terms of seats it was fairly even. Astonished me to see the liberal win seats in Richmond, Coquitlam and 2 in Surrey areas which had previously been fairly solid Tory blue. Demographics are not in the Cons favour in many ridings hey once won regularly.
