  • Backgrounder – a Safer Canada Andrew Scheer's Plan for a Safer
    Backgrounder – A Safer Canada Andrew Scheer’s plan for A Safer Canada Too many families Canada continue to live in fear of violent gang, gun, and drug-related violence. Justin Trudeau talks a good game about fighting gun violence but it is clear he is not as advertised. His failure to keep illegal guns from crossing the border or to keep violent gang and gun criminals behind bars continues to leave too many innocent families at risk. Justin Trudeau’s plan – forcing people who already follow the law to follow more laws in the form of a firearms ban – will do nothing to tackle crime or gun violence. As Toronto Police Chief Mark Saunders has said: “In recent years, we have seen that 80% of the firearms are coming in from the border.” And: “By and large, shootings have street gang connotations to them or are street gang related.” Only Andrew Scheer and the Conservatives have a plan to fight gang violence and gun crime. Not only will a Conservative government do more to keep your family safe from gang and gun crime, it will also take meaningful action to fight the addiction crisis by helping more people get the treatment they need for recovery, while cracking down on the despicable practice of human trafficking. THE ISSUE Since 2015, homicides in Canada are up by 8% and incidents of violent crime are up by 7%. Last year Canada had the second highest gang homicide rate since the data began being collected in 2005. According to Peel Region police, 75% of illegal handguns seized are smuggled from the U.S., while Ottawa’s police chief has also acknowledged that firearms smuggled from the U.S.

Continuing in the fine (recent) tradition of physicians editing a newsletter that historically has mostly been about current affairs and politics, I am delighted to take the rein from Luke Pike (Newfoundland & St. John’s 2007) with this, my first issue of the CARS newsletter as editor. We have an all-new CARS Executive as well, and have spent the last half year getting to know each other and locating the bylaws in various basements and shoeboxes around the country (see our President’s letter for more details). My sincere thanks to Mark Schaan (Prairies and New 2002) for his leadership as President over these past few years and to Katie Sheehan (Prairies and Merton 2002) for her guidance in putting together this newsletter. You will note that Steve Aylward describes this process as ‘cat-herding’; as a proud born-and-raised Albertan I would prefer ‘cattle-herding’ or something to that effect, but the metaphor is ultimately the same.

  • Trudeau Attacks Calls to Close Borders: “There Is a Lot of Knee-Jerk Reaction That Isn’T Keeping People Safe”
    The road to Canada's COVID-19 outbreak, Pt. 3: timeline of federal government failure at border to slow the virus Author of the article: David Staples • Edmonton Journal Publishing date: April 3, 2020 • 29 minute read Prime Minister Justin Trudeau speaks from behind a podium bearing the hyperlink to a federal government website about the coronavirus disease during a press conference about COVID-19 in front of his residence at Rideau Cottage in Ottawa, on Sunday, March 22, 2020. JUSTIN TANG / THE CANADIAN PRESS Pt. 3, March: Trudeau attacks calls to close borders: “There is a lot of knee-jerk reaction that isn’t keeping people safe” COVID-19 exploded upon the world in March 2020, shutting down much of the economy in Europe and North America by mid-month, just as it had already done in Asia in January and February. But early in the month, the Liberal government in Ottawa clung to the notion that it must not close its borders to travellers, or quarantine them when they arrived, even as that was by then standard practice in Asia, and even as infection brought in by travellers were spreading in Canadian towns and cities. Yet by the end of the month, the Liberal policy did a complete about-face, shutting down our borders. In Parts 1 and 2, we looked at the multi-partisan in effort to dig in and question Canada‟s border policies on COVID-19. In Part. 3 of our series, the timeline is extended into March, detailing the key quotes and debates leading to the federal policy change.
