But Mom, John signed it.

Comments are now closed on the story. Thankfully some good Canadians pointed out the truth about this story.

"Kerry called it a "significant step" in keeping the world safe."

Kerry does nothing BUT spout pure BS!

Good for Mr.Harper, it's about time we had a government that stands up for Canadians instead of marching in lockstep with world socialism, AKA communism.

For anyone who spends more than a half hour a day reading different news sources on the internet, Canadian news stories on US topics come up sorely lacking. Most barely skim the surface of any ongoing topic and rarely add any decent background info.

Now we need them to repeal C68

CBC is implying that the US sets Canadian policy?

Does that mean the CBC supports LCC because it is now nearly universal in the US?

not just the senate but congress as well. treaties cannot be in violation of the constitution. Canada does not need to be any part of the UN silliness. john Kerry is silly.

Al Gore thought Kyoto was great too, but it did not pass the Senate!

Robert Fox, executive director of Oxfam Canada, "Every day, conventional arms are used to commit serious acts of violence against women and girls, including rape,"

Never knew firearms were necessary to commit rape. The truth is a firearm, or perceived threat of one, is the most effective deterrent to rape.

Pure globalist soviet propaganda fluff for the zombie horde - Kerry knows this hasn't a pig's chance of being approved by congress because it violates 2nd amendment guarantees. It is pure posturing, political theater.

The last 30 years of UN small arms legislating has been nothing less than theater. Given that the three greatest global gun runners sit as permanent members of the UN security council and have NEVER signed onto or implemented a small arms trade treaty - the whole exercise effects only those who legitimately make/own/sell small sporting arms. The military select fire version AK47 and M16 carbines and Russian/Chinese autoloading pistols still flood into the world's hot spots ( actually more civilians are dting from Ruski/Chicom RPGs and IEDs than small arms fire) - but you never see rebels or terrorists armed with a Mossberg shotgun or Remington 700 bolt action - which these treaties effect.

The reason these treaties have been so convoluted and miss their objective is because the drafting process is has been hijacked from diplomatic oversight by anti gun prohibitionist NGOs which want CIVILIAN disarmament in the West as opposed to the disarming of criminals, terrorists and rogue governments. Track the funding for Project Ploughshares or CCFG, who dominate these treaty writing soirees and you will find Tides or Rockefeller money

I had a deep laugh at the toxic irony of the current US administration puffing themselves up for finally signing a small arms treaty (which is certain to be voted null by congress because of constitutional incompatibility) when this same criminal Dem regime was involved in 2 of the largest international small arms gun running operations to terrorists and drug cartels. Remember Iran-contra (Carter), Fast and furious, Benghazi, massive ammo purchases in peace time (Obumbles)?

UN small arms treaties sole purpose is to create incremental bureaucratic/economic damage to end sport shooting/hunting in free nations and disarm the citizenry in the west while governments remain armed to the teeth and deeply engaged in global small arms trafficking as part of their operational foreign policy - IOW, usher in a global police state - something all good commie hordes have been told is what's best for them (even though history repeatedly shows civil disarmament leads to civil abuse and genocide - rainbow unicorn land is paved with the bodies of unarmed citizens. So-called "gun control" is a dirty joke that has become too sick and jaded to be repeated or be party to - so are funding disingenuous gun alarmist parasites like CfGC and their ilk who are ferried around the world on a free meal ticket to lush UN venues under the guise of small arms control "talks".

I'm no Harper groupie but he did do the right thing on this treaty which only make lawful sporting arms harder to get and more expensive. Now i he'd only decriminalize owning a duck gun, I might think his intentions are honorable.

Hans - "They are trying the 'semi-clothed communist' routine because the 'naked communist' routine is a little old and stale."

Yeah but these days commie butchers and their cheerleaders wear Armani - unfortunately for the evil little commie stool in the oval office, his media is telling him his suit looks great while all the time he's been butt nekkid to anyone not infected with the Dem zombie virus.

I noted that the comments appeared to favor the Harper governments stand on this issue. I'll bet the CBC just hates it when that happens.

Hutus + Machetes + Tutsis = Genocide

No firearms in that equation. Can the UN spell Rwanda?
Who had the guns? The UN Blue Helmets did, and they did nothing.

Canada out of the UN. Canada out of NATO.
