  1. Seems like they saved this guy up for a rainy day, and it sure did “rain” over the weekend in Toronto.

    I’ll just observe here that the “storage” regulations are impossible to comply with. No matter what you do, they can still say you didn’t comply. Because they don’t specify what constitutes “secured” in the law. Does it mean a safe? A locked room? A locked room with a locked concrete box with a safe inside it? Bank vault?

    If you have a real combination locked safe inside a real bank vault they can still charge you. And it looks like that’s what they did.

  2. dozens/hundreds of them hanging off the wall?
    gotta admit that is a tad ‘sloppy’.
    some kids spent the weekend bouncing rocks off cops heads.
    imagine if they had that cannon.
    so many times news of cops meeting disaster is presented as tragic.
    no, its Karma baby. aka ‘watch yer ‘nikucf mouf and dont threaten to kill my beloved puppy if he bites an intruder that YOU wont order out of my house. m’kay boyz???

  3. meh. my prediction, all the ‘loose change’ all over the place his lawyer gonna plead diminished capacity. a good chance an accurate claim and thus successful.
    hot damn thats almost enough to start the AB insurrection.

  4. L – That cannon may have been captured by the Metis in the Riel Rebellion of 1869? The one that led to Manitoba becoming a province in 1870. Their demand was a connection to the nearest available rail line in order to get their grain and livestock to market, which at that time was in North Dakota. This prompted P.M. John A. McDonald to get the CPR railway built.

    Today, having an elderly firearms collector, a former mayor of Dauphin and a former Member of Parliament arrested, likely one of the most accomplished, good citizens in Manitoba. Some might want to reconsider the wisdom of that 1870 decision. Prosecution policy is provincial.

    Ironically, the RCMP investigate international organized crime operations in Vancouver, the GTA
    and other major centres. But lack resources, personnel and political support to do what needs to be done.

    If all the provincial RCMP were transferred to investigating organized crime/terrorism, commercial crime. It would take them years to catch or chase out of Canada the most dangerous (4,000 identified organized crime/terrorist groups) here. The task would be difficult and dangerous, but the best of them would deserve a special Order of Canada award.

    In an earlier time, the RCMP Commissioner reported only to Parliament and was by design, independent from direct control by the government of the day. A former Assist. Commissioner Robert Head advocated for such reform, even ran for Member of Parliament, but that was back in the 20th Century, at a time when the idea of foreign drug cartels operating under some kind of “immunity” was unthinkable. In the 21st Century good Canadians struggle to keep Canada from becoming a post nation-state or at least salvage Alberta and Saskatchewan to retain some semblance of a self-governing nation-state, one where Sir Robert Peel’s 9 Rules of Policing would still bind police and citizenry in a shared responsibility.

    Rural Manitoba has some serious thinking to do. Policing is a provincial jurisdiction, not federal. In the past both stayed on the same page via Co-operative Federalism, now an anachronism. Or is Manitoba reverting back to simply colonial status, in effect. After repeated post-modern Liberal governments in Ottawa, many Canadians are left with an identity crisis. An inheritance of a self-governing responsible people or a colony of the W.E.F., the E.U.? Does Mark Carney have a closer relationship with the W.E.F. and the C.C.P. than with the British Common-Law inheritance our pioneer ancestors fought, bled and died to defend.

    Meanwhile, on the mean streets of Toronto, Vancouver, Montreal et al…

    1. There was no rebellion in Manitoba in 1869, and no guns were captured by either side. No demands for a railroad; nothing to export.

      But yes, it’s a scandal if Inky Mark has been arrested on this pretext. Wab bloody well better have some answers.

  5. Those gangs and their cannons.
    Another case of inanimate objects running amuck.

    1. We sure dodged a cannon ball. Could you imagine the damage he would have done, dragging that thing down Spadina Street and setting it off? Also, many of his guns look to have wooden gun stalks and could be used as secondary weapons if they didn’t fire due to age. I’m feeling a whole lot safer this morning.

    2. Oh no! Canada could be overrun by a Chinese line!

      Hong Kong is up for grabs
      London is full of Arabs
      We could be in Palestine
      Overrun by a Chinese line
      With the boys from the Mersey and the Thames and the Tyne

  6. The cops always say you can have as many guns as you want until they find out you have too many.
    What that number is probably depends on the local coward of the crown and how many fingers he can fit up his boyfriend’s puckered pore.
    Same as ammo. Ammo is cheaper when you buy it in bulk. Suddenly you have thousands of rounds.
    Oooh scary!

    I bet Mark had more guns than all the limp-wristed Liberal MP’s, federal and provincial, put together, times 3.
    Look for these arseholes to claim that’s what all Cons want – a wild, wild west of gun ownership.

    Fck it, I’d rather that than the current state where a bunch of cabrones, spear-chuckers and beach-shitters shoot up festivals and neighborhoods with stolen pistols.

    But not Liberal voters and, frankly, most Banadians either. When they’re not envious of their neighbor, they’re worrying he isn’t conforming or he’s a criminal.

    The RCMP and the cowardly crown can say what they want about guns, but Carney and the Liberals are fcking thieves, stealing billions of Banadian’s wealth. The Black-faced weirdo was allowed to obstruct justice and funnel money like it was his personal bank.

    Shithole.

  7. Yes, let’s arrest the old dude with a cannon, and confiscate hunting rifles from everyone. Meanwhile, one of the suspects in the TO shotting was arrested in 2024 for a violent home invasion, and in 2025 he was caught smuggling guns over the border. Somehow it’s the guns fault he was not in jail and able to shoot someone in 2026.

  8. So that’s why I woke up this morning with that old the-world’s-a-safer-place feeling in my bones.

  9. “12 people shot in Toronto over the weekend…”
    Does Toronto have some kind of criminal exchange program with Chicago?

    1. “Does Toronto have some kind of criminal exchange program with Chicago?”

      No, they have it with Detroit and India. And Pakistan. Detroit vs. the Punjab vs. the ‘Stan. Three-way shootin’ gallery.

      Also the bikers are involved, but for a wonder those boys seem smart enough to keep it on the down-low. They hire the foreign punks to do all the spicy activities. It’s like they got an IQ boost from watching the New Boys do it wrong.

  10. Inky Mark? The man is an icon of a good conservative Manitoban not from Winnipeg. This is a travesty. This is not just a distraction from Toronto. This is a distraction from a woefully unprepared government, both provincial and federal, that has taken place in a region currently reeling from massive flooding. The local hospital, Dauphin Regional Health Centre, had nine feet of water in the basement and will be closed for at least six months and probably years. This was one of the few hospitals you could actually get patient centred care, a hospital where locals went out and raised the money for a CT and MRI so people wouldn’t have to travel to Winnipeg, a 4 1/2 hour drive. The province spent two years dithering before finally agreeing to fund the people to run the machines and provide funds for the infrastructure to mount and house them. This is a region where doctors fought back as best they could against the COVID insanity. One local doctor who spoke out against the jab had his suspension letter delivered by a swat team who broke into his home and dragged him and his wife out of bed at 2:00am. (Due to local outrage he was allowed to reopen his practice but he was under an extreme gag order and he has since left the country.) There was no warning from provincial water authorities about the flood and there was no previous flood mitigation even though the Vermillion River has flooded Dauphin before in 1947 and 1978. Funding denied. No sign of Carney or any feds around. Wab has shown up and is making appropriate noises. He asked for Carney to send the military to help. No sign of them. He has promised $500/per destroyed household as long as they could not have bought insurance and the Red Cross matches the $500. Thanks Wab. His DEI health minister with her degree in women’s study and indigenous oppression by white men is nowhere to be seen except on Tick Tok videos where she paints her toenails, bakes cakes and proclaims she doesn’t need to listen to anything a man says, especially if he’s white.

    This flood has devastated the very people who voted for Inky Mark and who have been bled dry in taxes, and had to be self sufficient to get done what needed to be done while being ignored or slapped around by both Ottawa and Winnipeg.

    This is Ottawa’s and Winnipeg’s way of saying the reason you Dauphin/Swan River thugs are getting zero help from us is because you’re just a bunch of Inky Mark types who don’t deserve it and need punishment, lots of it.

  11. … “hundreds of firearms were improperly stored!”
    … “asked if he had any signs with political messages on his property, Arse EMP said he did!

    Shame on him.

    400 guns likely meets the annual quota,
    so some ‘canadians’ are insured for the rest of the year.

    Thanks for the inside info mali.

    1. You’re welcome. Oh there’s more I could tell you. Like this region took in hundreds of Ukrainians fleeing that war and successfully integrated them so they don’t need federal support. Many locals here speak Ukrainian and the city rings with it now in all the local businesses. The hospital’s ER had an average of a two hour wait for treatment. This is the only place in the world where targeted minimum guaranteed income (targeted to Ukrainian subsistence farmers in the 50s) actually worked in improving things. I could go on and on about their many sins. They have a lot of them.

      Oh our health minister is also “queer lesbian” using they/them pronouns so she ticks multiple DEI boxes no doubt why she is our health minister.

  12. ‘nother reason I’m glad I’m here instead of there, I’d guess close to 90% of us Alaskans would be in violation of Canadian gun regs.

  13. I’ve got a friend of mine in the states that has one like that on his front lawn. He came home drunk a couple of times and fired it off. Cops told him if he did it again they were going to charge him with disturbing the peace.

  15. My new favourite Canadian. 433 guns, a cannon and gold bars. Balling.

    His band, Inky Mark and the Well Armed Bunch.

    1. Surely “Inky Mark and the Well Armed Bunch” were a band of cartoon squid in an episode of Spongebob Squarepants?
