#CanadaPost is refusing to collect #firearms that were #banned by the federal government in 2020, complicating Ottawa's plans for a #BuybackProgram to remove 144,000 firearms from private hands, federal sources say.
The Crown corporation informed the government of its position in a recent letter. It said its decision was based on concerns about its employees' security, according to federal sources who were not authorized to discuss the matter publicly.
@msquebanh For the sake of our postmistress, I'm glad and I don't blame them. In a lot of rural areas these are one person operations, I know I'd be super uncomfortable with dealing with guns.
@QueerInTheCountry I think police should be dealing with pickups. Postal workers shouldn't have to deal with this. There's several angry firearms owners who aren't happy about the buyback program.
@QueerInTheCountry The government logic - we don't get why CP workers are uncomfortable since they already deliver firearms bought online - isn't too great.
Umm - that's totally different than taking back banned firearms from some folks who are disgruntled about the bans.
@msquebanh That's their logic?? Wow. They seem more and more detached from reality when they make plans.
It's like the dental program, only 6 dentists in the entire province of NS are participating. Makes me sad, because people will still suffer, but they will campaign on a program that barely exists. 😞
