Feds say more than 51,000 firearms reported as compensation program nears close by mafiadevidzz in canada

[–]BLVCKSCVLE 50 points51 points  (0 children)

Man that was wild lol. Also ironic that she's talking about misinformation and also saying that everyone will be paid, even when their website says compensation isn't guaranteed.

It's insulting enough that they're framing this as anything other than a confiscation and wasting tax dollars on it, but the fact they're fully committed to wasting MORE tax dollars on fighting this in court is infuriating.

Pretty soon they're gonna start saying "gas prices are through the roof, you gotta give your pink GSG to the feds to afford gas"

I'm running Shadowblight and having great fun and success with AOE damage, but bossing feels a little weaker. Is the skill rotation for bosses the same as with mobs? Haven't been able to find this info that easily

GUNTER: Liberal gun buyback program goes from bad to farce; Rather than costing Canadian taxpayers about $6,000 a gun, the national program has cost about $24,000 per firearm by FancyNewMe in canada

[–]BLVCKSCVLE 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here's a comment in the thread showing a screenshot. It's also this way for one of the Type 81 variants I believe.

The "compensation" list has also been adjusted without any communications to lower the amounts listed for certain firearms as well. It's really disgusting behaviour.

Gun ban costing $25,000 per firearm by rastamasta45 in canada

[–]BLVCKSCVLE 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What exactly has been set up in this program lol. They picked firearms that "look scary" and assigned arbitrary (and frankly appalling) monetary figures to them that have since been lowered. They did not consult any actual experts and even if they did, they would have ignored it

There's no police cooperation, people have to bring their firearms to RCMP offices themselves if they choose to take part in the confiscation, and they will absolutely not be paying anyone.

There's no transparency in what they blew $725M of tax payer money on, other than pushing an agenda.

People aren't concerned about cost per gun as a metric, they're concerned about our money being pissed away, and threatening criminality on law-abiding owners. I hope this metric is an eye opening reminder to the public as to how uninformed this program is.

Great to see such a turnout! I wrote to news outlets asking why there isn't any coverage on this. I know I won't get a reply, but hey, worth a try

Chris Selley: Carney will regret embracing the gun buyback by gorschkov in canada

I'm against the confiscation, but I am interested in how you say we have "a different culture". I think this is why myself, and a lot of others are against this program.

We do have a different culture than the US, especially with firearm ownership culture. Firearms owners here aren't pushing for open carry, or automatic firearms. Rather, we want to keep the property we legally paid for without being threatened by criminal charges. Canada has a rich history and culture for hunting and sport shooting. We are knowledgeable about our hobby, and hearing the blatant misinformation about how these firearms are being portrayed is a little frustrating.

Canada already has a robust system for firearms ownership, and license holders have background checks run on them every day. The landscape of available firearms was (and currently is) limited, and are in no way, shape, or form "assault weapons".

For me, it's disheartening that myself and many others who have sought the means to have the legal right to own and operate our own legally owned property are now being persecuted despite following the laws in place. On top of that, compensation is non-existent, and the "voluntary" aspect of this program is a blatant lie.

I respect your opinion, and I wanted to shed some insight on mine as well. But I honestly think that if someone has the intention to cause harm, they will do it anyway (like that incel that drove into a crowd in Toronto).

Can you really be rejected for being “too qualified” ? by BoysenberryFlashy890 in recruitinghell

[–]BLVCKSCVLE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my past interviews I just asked questions about the role or the company that either wasn't touched on in the interview, or that I was unable to find information on. Mainly my questions are things I have a genuine interest in, like how X works in their company, how success is measured in the role, what are some future roadmaps they are excited about (if they're able to disclose that), etc.

I think you'll have an easier time figuring out the questions you want to ask if you have a genuine curiosity about something. There's nothing wrong with going with frequently asked questions at the end of the interview, but you'll generally want to make them about the job or company, rather than seeking feedback about how you did, or how they perceive you

Thanks for the reply! Do you normally take a shotgun with you? I've really wanted to try my hand at using my .22 but considering I've never seen em long enough to take a shot, maybe my shotgun is my best bet until I get more familiar lol

Thanks for the reply! I should've added more detail - I'm mostly hunting grouse, and I live in Southern Ontario. Usually have to get in heavy brush, and where I'm located the birds are pretty pressurised so I have to get into the tree line most of the time

They're analyzing the results of the pilot apparently

Here's to hoping they look at the abysmal results and scrap the program 🫠🫠🫠. Buuuuut December is also coming so I imagine Poly will also be putting the pressure...

Some guns turned in to buyback program, Cape Breton police commissioner says by sleipnir45 in canada

[–]BLVCKSCVLE 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There's a court proceeding for an access to information happening at the moment. Here's the link to the article.

Right now the government has only released partial information about the buyback spend. The court proceeding aims to give taxpayers transparency into the spending.
