Anand welcomes Turkish counterpart as two countries explore nuclear deal

For the record – back in the 60s or so, Canada did the same with a little place called India. And India promptly used the first reactor we built for them to develop their own nuclear weapons program. They have since iterated out their own version of the CANDU since we decided them building nukes with our tech wasn’t nice and sanctioned them for years. They said, “Thanks for the tech, and we’re going to keep building nukes, thank you very much.”

And since India built a nuclear weapon, Pakistan decided it needed its own. And they did. Then in 1998, both nations set off test bombs, after the first set in the 60s or 70s or so.

So your mileage may vary.

Juno News;

The federal government’s sweeping grab has hit a massive legal detour. In a surprise policy pivot, Ottawa has extended the amnesty deadline for owners of now-banned firearms.

The mandate, which was originally fixed to expire on October 30, will now remain active until exactly 90 days after the Supreme Court of Canada rules on the legality of the ban itself.

For tens of thousands of gun owners across the country unwilling to comply, the decision temporarily pauses the looming threat of criminal prosecution.

Remain unwilling.

Rod Giltaca;

Saskatchewan introduces legislation to authorize individuals to store their newly prohibited firearms on behalf of the provincial government while seeking FULL compensation from the feds.

No warrants or seizures can be authorized after the amnesty ends under these conditions. They provide authorized possession indefinitely during the process of seeking compensation, however long that takes. This is made possible via section 117.08 of the Criminal Code and the CFO’s ability to designate individuals to assist the province in a variety of ways.

Saskatchewan strikes again!!!

Tristan Hopper, National Post (paywalled);

The Liberals’ plan to “buy back” thousands of once-legal firearms has experienced so many cost overruns that it has so far more than $24,000 for every gun collected.

This means that for just three firearms turned over as part of the program, the federal government could have instead paid the starting salary of a full-time RCMP officer ($71,191).

For every two guns, the government could have purchased a new fully-equipped patrol car.[…]

As of the latest count from Public Safety Canada, “more than 32,000” firearms have been collected in the first six weeks of the program. But this is against the $779.8 million in costs that the program has incurred to date.

This works out to roughly $24,370 per firearm, most of which is sunk administrative costs that the original owner will never see.

Great Success!

National Post- Federal government confirms 25 guns collected in ‘buyback’ pilot,

Public Safety Canada, the department overseeing the program, had, up until Wednesday, only signed two agreements with local jurisdictions whose police agreed to collect firearms to be turned over by gun owners under the controversial program. Those services were in Winnipeg and Cape Breton, the latter of which helped the federal government pilot a test-run of the program, set to be rolled out nationally sometime this month.

John Leake- Mass Stabbing on UK Train Casts Spotlight on British Stabbing Epidemic

In the year ending March 2025, 53,000 knife or sharp instrument offenses were recorded in England and Wales (population 61 million) which represents an 81% increase over the last decade.

Compare that to 84,000 gunshot incidents in the United States (population 340 million) in 2023. While gunshots have a much higher case fatality rate than stabbing, knives can still inflict horrible injuries with lifelong sequelae. The spectacle of man coming after you with a knife is also one of the most terrifying experiences imaginable.

It’s not like this incident happened in the core area of Winnipeg, but rather a quiet suburban neighborhood. Any bets on how long it will be until this guy is back on the street?

A 23-year-old man with a lengthy rap sheet is accused of barging into a northwest Winnipeg home Monday evening and randomly assaulting two elderly residents as they relaxed in their living room.

George has numerous prior convictions for possessing weapons and breaching court orders. He’s also been convicted of uttering threats, obstructing a police officer and assaulting an officer. George was barred from owning weapons for life after pleading guilty in August 2024 to several firearms possession offences he committed in November 2023.
