Is Trudeau a giant hypocrite for supporting China's anti-lockdown protesters?FIRST READING: Yes, Trudeau crushed Canada's own anti-lockdown protests, but China's are on a slightly different level Author of the article: Publishing date: Dec 01, 2022 First Reading is a daily newsletter keeping you posted on the travails of Canadian politicos, all curated by the National Post’s own Tristin Hopper.

This week, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau wholeheartedly endorsed a wave of disruptive anti-lockdown protests currently roiling the People’s Republic of China. “Everyone in China should be allowed to express themselves,” he said. “We’ll stand with people who are expressing themselves.”
It’s the job of any Canadian leader to support dissident movements in Communist China, but the sentiment quickly inspired eyerolls among the world’s more anti-Trudeau quarters. To many observers, both foreign and domestic, one of Trudeau’s signature actions as prime minister was the suspension of Canada’s usual safeguards on civil liberties in order to evict an anti-mandate protest in the nation’s capital.
But is Trudeau a hypocrite for supporting Chinese protesters while crushing those at home? We’ll let you decide.
THE CHINESE GOVERNMENT IS UNELECTED. THAT’S IMPORTANT
Like it or not, Trudeau was Canada’s elected leader at the time he invoked the Emergencies Act to clear the Freedom Convoy from Downtown Ottawa. Not only was the move backed by a clear majority of Canadians who were polled on the issue, but it was even approved by a House of Commons vote. And, of course, the invocation sparked a mandatory government inquiry in which Trudeau himself was called to testify.
The same goes for many of the more extreme lockdown measures that sparked Freedom Convoy in the first place. Time after time, Canadian polls showed that a majority were on board with vaccine mandates, and many of the country’s most lockdown-happy governments were able to handily win re-election (Quebec and Ontario being good examples).
Naturally, not one of these checks exist in China. COVID strictures (like everything else) are imposed by authorities who are not elected, are not subject to oversight, and face no political opposition. For Chinese people, illegal protests and civil disobedience are literally their only way of registering political dissent.
THE CHINESE LOCKDOWNS ARE WAY HARDER THAN THEY EVER WERE IN CANADA
Earlier this year, it could be said that Canada had some of the harshest COVID strictures in the Western world. In January, we were one of the only democracies still locking down schools and gyms, and we maintained uncompromising vaccine passports on aircraft and at our border for months after much of Europe abandoned the measure.
And yet, we were still a freewheeling land of liberty compared to what China’s been doing in recent months. China is pursuing a strategy of “zero-COVID,” and is using the full force of history’s most pervasive surveillance apparatus in order to do it.
Chinese citizens are forced to test for COVID several times a week in some cases, and face automatic isolation from civil society if they’ve been so much as exposed to a potential COVID patient. Entire metropolises have been subject to “hard” lockdowns in which more than 10 million people are effectively imprisoned in their apartments, without consideration of their ability to access food or essentials. The current wave of protests, in fact, began after 10 people were killed in an apartment fire in the Xinjiang region; they had been unable to escape as authorities had locked the doors to enforce a quarantine order.
EVEN TRUDEAU’S HARD-HANDED CRACKDOWN ON PROTESTS WAS POSITIVELY KID-GLOVED COMPARED TO CHINA
The Emergencies Act was basically used for three things: It enabled law enforcement to freeze the bank accounts of protesters without judicial oversight and it was used to mark off “no-go” areas in which anyone present was subject to immediate arrest. Finally, it was used to forcibly conscript tow truck drivers into government service.
It’s Canada’s single greatest encroachment on civil liberties since the 1970 October Crisis. And yet, by Chinese standards, it would barely raise eyebrows among their usual toolkit of measures to crush dissent.
Protesters are routinely carted off to parts unknown for days on end; and face potential execution if charged. The latest protests have seen Chinese police marshalled to do forced street checks of smartphones in order to screen for VPN software — a potential sign that the owner is accessing internet content unapproved by the government. Chinese citizens even face criminal penalties for “liking” a social media post that authorities have deemed to be subversive.
China, by most metrics, is Canada’s number one geopolitical enemy right now. According to a poll from last month, more than 84 per cent of Canadians think the People’s Republic of China has a negative influence on the world. And in a 2021 poll, more than half of Canadians named China as our biggest security threat.
There are solid accusations that Beijing is actively trying to tweak the outcomes of our federal elections. Chinese cities are apparently opening police stations on Canadian soil in order to supervise their expats. Chinese authorities routinely threaten Canadian politicians if they so much as plan a trip to Taiwan. Chinese President Xi Jinping feels fine publicly dressing down our guy at international summits. And, of course, there’s good evidence that the whole COVID pandemic, which has killed nearly 50,000 Canadians, is owed in large part to Chinese cover-up efforts which foiled any hope of keeping the disease contained.
Turnabout is fair play. China has proved itself extremely willing to prescribe things for Canada that it absolutely wouldn’t tolerate on its home soil. So what’s Trudeau supposed to do? Not express his government’s support for a once-in-a-generation domestic threat to China’s autocratic rulers?
'I am not a criminal': Carey Price takes aim at federal firearms billThe goaltender's Instagram post was praised by the Canadian Coalition for Firearm Rights and the Conservatives, and criticized by the PolySeSouvient gun control group and Bloc Québécois. Author of the article: Publishing date: Dec 04, 2022  Carey Price took to Instagram on Dec. 3, 2022, to oppose Bill C-21. Photo by Carey Price via Instagram Montreal Canadiens goaltender Carey Price took to Instagram on Saturday to voice his opposition to Bill C-21, the federal government’s new firearms bill.
At issue is an amendment to Bill C-21 introduced last month that proposed expanding the definition of a prohibited assault-style firearm.
While the Liberal government has maintained the definition applies only to guns that belong on the battlefield, Conservative MPs have said it would affect a number of hunting rifles and shotguns.
The Canadian Coalition for Firearm Rights, which urged the public to “create an avalanche of opposition” to the bill, reshared Price’s post and thanked him for it.
The organization made headlines in November for using POLY — as in the PolySeSouvient gun control group, formed after the 1989 Polytechnique massacre — as a promo code.
PolySeSouvient tweeted on Saturday that Price had been “duped” by disinformation on Bill C-21.
Price’s statement was enthusiastically greeted by Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre.
“Carey is absolutely right,” he wrote on Twitter. “Hunting is a great Canadian tradition. Trudeau’s attempts to ban hunting rifles are an attack on rural and Indigenous people. We must stop him.”
Meanwhile, Bloc Québécois Leader Yves-François Blanchet lamented Price’s post.
“They’ve convinced Carey Price and so many others that the goal or effect of gun control is to impede hunting,” he tweeted. “That is false.”
Price, 35, is on the long-term injured reserve (LTIR) list as he deals with ongoing knee issues.
He has four seasons left on his contract, though his annual salary of $10.5 million won’t count against the cap so long as he’s on LTIR. It’s unclear if he will ever play for the Habs again.

'What kind of idiot would use me for a crime?' Inside the thoughts of the Ruger No. 1Dear Diary: 'I am the epitome of a grandpa gun; I look more like kitchenware than a deadly weapon' A woman tries out a rifle at the Ruger booth at a gun show in Las Vegas. Photo by Ethan Miller/Getty Images/File Bill C-21 was originally a relatively routine piece of gun control legislation intended to freeze the sale of legal handguns. But a couple weeks ago, the Liberals slipped in a pair of 11th-hour amendments that instantly transformed it into the most sweeping gun ban in Canadian history. Despite Liberal claims that they have “no intention” of including hunting rifles in the ban, this claim is quickly dispelled by any cursory glance at the amendments themselves, which include dozens of low-powered, slow-to-fire long-guns that were only ever designed for hunting. The most common among them was a .22 calibre Ruger No. 1; a single-shot, wood-stocked hunting rifle that is often given to Canadian children learning to hunt. In Dear Diary, the National Post satirically re-imagines a week in the life of a newsmaker. This week, Tristin Hopper takes a journey inside the thoughts of the Ruger No. 1.
Monday
You may have heard this rhetorical koan; “what if a gun had a soul?” What if a firearm was awake to the purposes to which it was applied … and it objected? Every crime, every act of terror, every suicide. It’s a nightmarish prospect, but one with which I’ve never been able to fully identify. Because, well, what kind of moron would ever try to commit a crime with a rimfire Ruger No. 1? You have to reload me after EVERY. SINGLE. SHOT. Good luck trying to do a drive-by shooting while fumbling another cartridge into the chamber after each trigger-pull. And as far as concealed weaponry goes, let’s just say that not a lot of drug dealers are trying to hide a seven-pound rifle in their pants. Tuesday
Here’s another slogan I’ve heard: “Who needs a semi-automatic rifle to go hunting?” I can sort of see the logic there, provided you’re hunting in one of those parts of Canada without bears, cougars or wild boars. But again, I’m still not entirely sure how this applies to me. You could equip an entire firing squad with .22 calibre Ruger No. 1s, and they might be able to slightly annoy a charging grizzly. You feel like shouldering one of me and going toe to toe with a charging moose? At least they’d be able to use the serial number on my barrel to identify what’s left of your corpse.
Wednesday
This whole time, I never really considered why the Canadian government had scheduled me for prohibition. I guess I figured it was some kind of protectionist thing; I’m manufactured in Connecticut, so maybe Ottawa shut off the supply to punish the Americans for some aluminum tariff. But no, apparently I’m being sent to the foundry purely as a public safety issue. I don’t want to belabour the point, here, but if the government is looking for dangerous objects to ban, you could do a lot better than a 93 centimetre-long length of pipe chambered for glorified firecrackers. Do you know how many people are crushed by vending machines each year? Or stairs — I can only dream of being as dangerous as a set of ill-proportioned stairs.
Thursday
When you send some 98-pound financial criminal to jail, it’s not like you put him in the general pop, right? You can’t take some pasty computer nerd and put him in the yard with hardened gang-bangers; he’d be eaten alive. Similarly, I don’t think I would do well among the other prohibited firearms. They’re talking about throwing me in with AKs, Uzis, anti-tank rifles and even a few rocket launchers. I am the epitome of a grandpa gun; I look more like kitchenware than a deadly weapon. If I’m going to have any chance of looking intimidating in that kind of crowd, I’m going to at least need a pistol grip, a half-can of black paint and maybe a couple “Don’t Tread on Me” stickers.
Friday
I had this weird thought the other day. So there’s all these rules governing firearms, right? How long they are, their rate of fire, their magazine capacity, that kind of thing. But what if you got people — criminal people — who just decided not to do any of that? You hear a lot about people using guns for crimes, so what if these crime-doers also OBTAINED and OWNED their guns using similarly criminal means. It’s certainly never something I’ve seen firsthand; I’ve spent my entire life being taken out of storage once a year for a thorough cleaning followed by a few hours of plinking cans. But it’s just something to think about; at this moment there could be hundreds if not thousands of gun owners who are just not following the law, and are therefore unaffected by legislative changes. I wonder if anybody in charge has considered this?

a few of the dozens of hunting rifles and shotguns scheduled for
criminalization by the Trudeau government under the guise of banning
"assault-style" firearms. First Reading is a daily newsletter keeping you posted on the travails of Canadian politicos, all curated by the National Post’s own Tristin Hopper.

Last week, the Liberals quietly introduced an amendment to a piece of gun control legislation that would ban thousands of Canadian hunting arms, constituting the largest single gun ban in Canadian history. After the amendment became public, Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino announced he had “no intention whatsoever” of banning hunting rifles or long guns.
The problem is, Mendicino’s claims aren’t true at all. Even a cursory look at the list quickly reveals that it’s chock full of purpose-built hunting arms, many of which have likely never been near a battlefield or crime scene in the last 100 years. While prior Trudeau government gun bans at least attempted to only select firearms that had “assault-style” aesthetics, this new list proposes to criminalize hundreds of rifles and shotguns that are low-powered, slow to fire and only ever designed to shoot birds, deer or skeet.
Below, some of the more egregious examples of the “grandpa guns” the Liberals are proposing to criminalize.
Ruger No. 1
The Ruger No. 1 is as hunting rifle-y as they come. If you were looking to hold up a liquor store, this is basically your worst option. It’s single-shot, meaning you fire it once, and then you have to fumble around in your pocket for another cartridge to manually load into the gun’s chamber. And if you like scary-looking black rifles with pistol grips, I’m afraid this thing only comes in wood.
The Ruger No. 1. Not what typically comes to mind when you imagine “assault-style rifle,” is it? Photo by Ruger Mossberg 702 Plinkster Tactical 22
As the name “plinkster” suggests, this is a low-calibre long gun typically used to teach children how to shoot. “For hunting or plinking,” reads the write-up by its manufacturer. It’s .22 calibre, which means it has the same firepower as the gunpowder-activated concrete hammer that you can buy at Home Depot.
It’s still a firearm that can kill things, of course, but the stopping power of the Plinkster is right above “pellet gun.” Photo by Mossberg Westley Richards Model 1897
This gun is also chambered for .22-calibre ammunition, which means it’s only really intended to shoot squirrels and pigeons. It’s not semi-automatic; it’s lever action, meaning you have to manually cock a large metal lever between shots. Remember the 2014 Parliament Hill shootings? One of the reasons the shooter was so easy to take down was because all he could get his hands on was a lever-action rifle. Like many of the guns on this list, the Westley Richards is also a high-value antique – and let’s just say that not a lot of gun crimes are being committed with $7,000 varmint guns manufactured in the 19th century.

Another surprise amendment to Bill C-21 tabled last week effectively proposed to ban “semi-automatic” firearms; guns that automatically reload after each pull of the trigger. This is ostensibly to make it harder for any would-be gun criminals to squeeze off a lot of rounds in quick succession. But the amendments also liberally propose to ban hunting rifles that use bolts or levers to manually reload between shots. This includes the Winchester Model 54, the Kimber 89 African and the Montana Rifle 1999. What’s more, these are not military rifles that became popular as hunting arms; they are all explicitly designed and marketed as hunting rifles. Also banned? The Weatherby Mark V Safari. As the name and styling suggests, it’s very much a gun designed to shoot animals. It’s also bolt action, making for a pretty slow rate of fire, particularly for an amateur. Photo by Weatherby Any antique shotgun made by Parker Brothers
If you’re worried about mass-shooters, break-action firearms are probably one of your favourite guns. The gun fires only two shots before the shooter has to open the breech and manually load in two more cartridges. And since they’re shotguns, they’re not all that lethal at long distances; you generally can’t kill anybody firing one of these from a clock tower, for instance. It’s why, even in very gun-strict Great Britain, they’re still generally fine with break-action birding guns. And yet, Canada is proposing to ban several models of break-action shotguns manufactured by Parker Brothers, an American hunting arms company that hasn’t existed since the 1940s.

You thought they were done with banning single-shot hunting arms? Concari is a niche Italian manufacturer of intricately engraved wood stocked hunting guns. Not only does it cost around five figures to get one, but many of their guns are single-shot. Nevertheless, three Concari models were explicitly named by the C-21 amendment.

As the name suggests, this is a gun designed exclusively to shoot birds. As a nod to the amount of due diligence that the Liberals put into their ban list, it’s spelled “Webley &amp Scott Wild Fowl Gun” in the official amendment. Notably for a list that purports to other bans on “weapons of war,” several other guns scheduled for prohibition contain the word “duck” in their name.
Liberals, Tories spar over scope of proposed assault-style firearm definitionAuthor of the article:  Publishing date: Nov 24, 2022
OTTAWA — The Liberals say their proposed definition of a prohibited assault-style firearm applies only to guns that belong on the battlefield. But Conservative MPs continued to insist Thursday the federal move would
outlaw large numbers of ordinary hunting rifles and shotguns. The Liberal government wants to include an evergreen definition of a prohibited assault-style firearm in gun-control legislation being studied by the House of Commons public safety committee.
The measure, introduced Tuesday during clause-by-clause review of the bill, would build on a May 2020 regulatory ban of over 1,500 models and variants of what the government considers assault-style firearms, such as the AR-15 and the Ruger Mini-14.
Among other technical specifications, the proposed definition includes a centrefire semi-automatic rifle or shotgun designed to accept a detachable magazine that can hold more than five cartridges. At a committee meeting Thursday, Liberal MP Pam Damoff said the definition would codify in the Criminal Code the kinds of firearms that were banned in 2020, providing a “clear definition of the specifications of these guns that were designed for war. ” “I just want to make clear that we are not going after hunters,” Damoff said. “We’re looking to remove weapons that were designed for the battlefield from our society.”
She said the amendment would ensure that gun manufacturers can’t tweak designs of prohibited firearms to make them available in Canada again. “Codification and clear definitions in the Criminal Code will ensure that manufacturers can’t try to game the system to continue to sell weapons which by any other name would be prohibited.” Conservative MP Glen Motz said the definition would effectively prohibit hundreds of thousands of firearms, including many non-restricted guns.
“I think it was a deliberate attempt to mislead the Canadian public and mislead Parliament,” he said.
Raquel Dancho, the Conservative public safety critic, said the proposed definition casts a very wide net — the “most significant hunting rifle ban in the history of Canada.”
“If the Liberals had any integrity, they would have brought this forward in the original bill, then it could have been debated in the House,” she said.
“But of course, they did not do that.” During the hearing, the Liberals made public an updated list, running about 300 pages, of the various models and variants of firearms that would now be prohibited.
In response, provincial ministers from Alberta, Manitoba and Saskatchewan issued a joint statement denouncing Ottawa’s move.
The federal effort to define an assault-style firearm responds to pleas from advocates for tougher gun laws who wanted such wording enshrined in law.
Gun-control group PolySeSouvient has called the proposed amendment “another critical step towards a comprehensive and permanent ban on assault-style weapons in Canada.”

Premier Ford's 'shoulder to shoulder' comment about Trudeau annoys some Conservatives
Premier Ford's 'shoulder to shoulder' comment about Trudeau annoys some Conservatives
Two CPC MPs said they were 'pissed off' by Doug Ford's remarks about Emergencies Act
"It's unfortunate," Conservative MP Karen Vecchio said when asked about Ford's vocal support of Trudeau's decision to deploy the act to bring an end to a massive protest against pandemic measures that tied Ottawa in knots for nearly a month last winter.
The London, Ont.-area MP said she thought Ford should have waited to comment until the public inquiry into the federal government's use of the Emergencies Act had finished its work. She said she believes the Public Order Emergency Commission won't agree with Ford's assessment.
Other Conservatives refused to comment before the cameras. Privately, however, several told CBC News they were unhappy with Ford's public support for Trudeau. They offered comments ranging from "not great" to "brutal" — and two Conservative MPs said they were "pissed off" by the premier's words.
None of the MPs were willing to attach their names to their remarks.
On Monday, while Ford attended an unrelated media event in Ottawa with Trudeau, a reporter asked the premier whether he agreed with the federal government's decision to invoke the Emergencies Act.
Ford responded that he "stood shoulder to shoulder with the prime minister" on that decision and described the protest's disruption of international trade and the lives of Ottawa residents as "unacceptable."
The public inquiry examining the use of the Emergencies Act began last week. It will deliver a report on whether the government was justified in triggering the never-before-used law to quell the anti-vaccine mandate protests that gripped Ottawa's downtown core in February and spread to some border crossings.

meeting in Ottawa on Monday Sept. 12, 2022. (Sean Kilpatrick/The Canadian Press)
Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre openly supported some of the protesters during his leadership campaign; he offered the slogan "Truckers, not Trudeau" in one online video. Poilievre repeatedly said he was supporting only the "lawful" protesters who were behaving "peacefully."
"Yes to peaceful protests. No to blockades," Poilievre said in mid-February.
Conservative MPs who spoke to CBC News said they felt Ford could have declined to answer the reporter's question, or could have sided with the Ontario Provincial Police — whose lawyer told the Public Order Emergency Commission the emergency powers weren't necessary to quell the protests.

This new friction between Ford and federal Conservatives emerged against a backdrop of lingering tensions that predate Poilievre's leadership.
When Ford told his caucus members to sit out the last federal election and to not campaign for federal candidates, it vexed several Conservative MPs.
One Conservative MP pointed out that the party was led at the time by Erin O'Toole, suggesting Ford's reluctance had nothing to do with Poilievre. The MP expressed frustration over Ford's failure to back up the federal Conservatives.

Some Conservative MPs bristle at the friendly relationship between Trudeau, Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland and Ford. Freeland once described her relationship with Ford to The Toronto Star as like being "each other's therapist."
Asked about the Conservative MPs' frustrations, Ford's office painted the current situation as a positive one.
"The premier has said many times that he will work with any level of government, regardless of political stripe, to do what's best for Ontario," said a media statement from the premier's office.
A spokesperson for Ford also pointed to other comments the premier made in Ottawa on Monday while standing with Trudeau.
'I appreciate the partnership' — Ford
At that event, Ford remarked that both Trudeau's family and his own had been in politics for decades. "Forget these political stripes, I can't stand them," he added.
The premier claimed that in all those decades, there had never been such close collaboration between Ontario and the federal government as they are achieving now on everything from the pandemic to the technology sector.
"So I appreciate the partnership," Ford said.
Contacted by CBC News, Poilievre's office declined to comment for this story.
Another possible sign of the frosty relationship between the federal Conservatives and Ford's Ontario Progressive Conservatives is the attendance list for this week's Ontario PC general meeting.
Poilievre's office said he would not be attending the event and did not say why.
All of the Conservative MPs who spoke to CBC News for this story said they wouldn't be attending either.
One said that because Ford had done nothing to help the federal Conservatives, he would do nothing to support Ford.
