INTRO
IF [no sarcasm intended] this government truly desires "Safer Streets and Strong Communities", it WON'T be achieved with these measures. Focus MUST be on entrenched organized crime, gang proliferation and porousness of our borders.

RCMP
@BillBlair referred to $327M for fighting gang activity and Bill C-71; YET, he omitted mention of RCMP Planned Spending DECREASES through 2022/2023 and the CRISIS in Human Resources.

NEW ZEALAND | COST
The "buy back"(actually "mandated confiscation")of legally-purchased firearms will likely closely resemble New Zealand.
According to @BillBlair, estimated cost will be $600M. Try '$5.52B'. @FraserInstitute fraserinstitute.org/blogs/trudeau-…

COST
What's another '$5.52B' when deficit is projected to reach $252B? Just another business line discretely tucked into the Budget. When it rains, it pours.

UNSC SEAT
Control of Civilian Small Arms un.org/en/chronicle/a…
TRUDEAU is excessively focused upon UNSC seat bid. Canada put forward its candidacy in 2016, about a decade after Ireland (2005) and Norway (2007) announced they were running. He's facing challenges.

THE CLOCK
One senior delegate summed up the #UNSC voting process this way: ''Do you like this guy or not?"
Simply said, TRUDEAU must do all he can to be "Liked" in the time remaining and in the hope he can curry sufficient favour to win the vote.

CLOSING
"One thing is certain—the costs will greatly exceed the $600 million presented thus far by the government."
Whether ultimately $1.64B, $4.92B (excl. $600M),it does NOTHING to target gun crime.The same money, could accomplish (MUCH) more.
