LILLEY: Activist accuses Trudeau of using gang shootings for political gain
We’re in the last days of this election and Justin Trudeau’s Liberals are still campaigning in a fact-free way, trying to use bogeymen to scare voters while not being challenged in their claims.
If Canadian voters are worried about shootings and gun crime, they should be worried about re-electing a Liberal government.
In fact, Sukhi Sandhu, one of the leaders of the anti-gang group Wake Up Surrey, takes issue with the way Trudeau is campaigning on gun violence.
“What’s most disappointing is that the ashes of our youth who have been killed in gang violence have been used for political rhetoric and wedge politics,” Sandhu told me over the phone this week.

RCMP Labour Union Opposes Liberal-RCMP Mass Gun Confiscations
Canada’s largest police union urged the government to focus on safety instead of gun confiscations. It’s the strongest police challenge to the May 1 Order in Council.
The National Police Federation, in the first position statement by Canada’s largest police union, asked the government to help officers stop violent gangs instead of wasting money seizing guns from police-licensed firearm owners and stores.
“We’re saying that in our opinion as police officers, this is a misdirected effort when it comes to public safety,” Pete Merrifield, a vice president of the NPF union, said in a phone interview with TheGunBlog.ca.
Not Public Safety“Our concern representing 20,000 police officers is that it is not a public-safety action that correctly targets crime or criminals,” Merrifield said. “Second, it diverts valuable resources that could go into funding of a vibrant enforcement program to stop criminals and smuggling and help with issues like mental health and poverty.”
