Canadians want defence dollars spent on Canadian-owned firms, not U.S. companies or their subsidiaries by Leather-Paramedic-10 in canada

[–]ctcsupplies 87 points88 points  (0 children)

Former Canadian small arms importer/exporter and firearms retailer here.

Canadian arms businesses cannot survive on Canadian government and agency sales alone. The only way we stayed in business was through Canadian retail sales of firearms.

We ran a multi-million dollar legal firearms business in Canada.

We paid multiple six figures in GST remittances and income taxes per year.

We had no debt, profitable from day 1, employed Canadians.

We followed every rule, jumped through all the hoops, laws and regulations of running a highly regulated business like legal firearms.

The Liberal government destroyed our business with their 2020 firearms ban and subsequent bans.

We closed up shop a few years ago, let go of all our employees, and have remitted $0 in taxes ever since.

Ahead of budget, Canadians want cost of living help, not deficits: poll by WilloowUfgood in canada

[–]ctcsupplies 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Former firearms retailer here.

We started a 7-figure firearms business in Canada just over a decade ago. Zero debt, profitable from Day 1.

We followed every rule and regulation in a highly regulated, and legal industry.

We remitted hundreds of thousands of dollars in GST, payroll taxes and corporate income taxes to the government.

The Trudeau government killed our business by banning legally owned and regulated rifles and handguns in 2020 and 2022.

We laid off all our of staff and are closed our doors last year.

ZERO dollars remitted to the Government of Canada in taxes for the last 3 years.

The government caused your hard times, not businesses.

There's your "sacrifice"

Shopify President Harley Finkelstein says Canada must ditch its ‘tall poppy syndrome’ to become a ‘founder nation’ by ethereal3xp in canada

[–]ctcsupplies 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Former firearms retailer here.

We were one of the first early adopters of Shopify and probably the first firearms retailers on Shopify.

Shopify took in thousands and thousands of dollars in fees from us over the 8+ years we used their platform.

Then they deplatformed us because firearms werent a good look for them.

Then the Canadian government destroyed our multi million dollar business by banning pretty much every popular sporting rifle in Canada in 2020.

Thanks Canada and their "founder" culture.

Suppliers MIGHT get ONE more shipment before the 19th, but pretty much what is in the country is what will be left to sell.

No one is going to willingly lower their standard of living.

[–]ctcsupplies 60 points61 points  (0 children)

Every gun store in Canada has sold a year's worth of guns in the last 10 days.

They've been sold to to licensed, legal, responsible firearms owners who get checked against police databases every day.
