“I am a Canadian, free to speak without fear, free to worship in my own way, free to stand for what I think right, free to oppose what I believe wrong, or free to choose those who shall govern my country. This heritage of freedom I pledge to uphold for myself and all mankind.” ~~ John G. Diefenbaker

WUN FEATHER -- That is the only form of gun control that I need

Wun Feather in 1967 at the Good
Hope Lake Reserve near Cassiar
I want my friends to know that as a hunter and trapper, I really don't need a semi-automatic firearm.


If you look through my photos, you will see that I like the old fashioned "bush guns", like the lever action.


In fact, because I walk in some very dangerous forests with lots of trees laying down, I usually leave my rifle empty until I need to shoot it. Then I open the chamber, and slide one round in, aim very carefully, and squeeze the trigger gently.


That is the only form of gun control that I need.


Just because I use my old Winchester 30-30 for hunting, I have absolutely no right to dictate to any other firearm owner what they should use their guns for.


Some people want to take their husband's or wives and children to the gun range, and shoot at targets all weekend.


Some want to shoot their shotgun pellets at clay targets that are flying through the air.


Other people compete in IPSIC or whatever those marksman competitions are called.


I don't know about those, but I can tell you that this recent firearm grab that Justin Trudeau has forced on Canadians, is way more than a firearms issue. It is a dictatorship issue.


If Trudeau can just take away legally purchased firearms from legitimate gun owners, what is next on his agenda?


Have we reached a point in society where ONE man has the right to pass a law that affects 32 million citizens without any parliamentary procedures?


If so, when did our country become a dictatorship, and are we no longer living in a democratic society?

Just asking ...

 

About Wun Feather ...  I am one of the last of my generation to have actually attended residential and Indian day schools. I have lived on and off reserve, and have seen the benefits and the hardships of my people in both situations. My parents taught me that any time I fell down physically, or emotionally, I just needed to pick myself up, shake myself off, and continue in a forward direction. So, I cannot claim that I did it on my own; I had great Elders.

NDP Government Blames Everyone but Themselves

The federal government has announced new measures to support British Columbia's forestry sector, including $65 million in funding for projects across the province. While any support is welcome, it falls far short of the level of assistance other provinces have secured for key industries. Conservative Forests Critic Ward Stamer says the NDP government needs to take responsibility for its mismanagement of B.C.’s forest industry instead of trying to pass on the blame. Despite promising to create more jobs in the forest sector, the NDP government has overseen the loss of thousands of forestry jobs and 21 mill closures which have devastated communities. “If Premier Eby spent more time addressing the regulatory issues impacting the forestry sector than he did complaining about the federal government, we would not be in the position we are now,” said Stamer. “And instead of trying to place the blame for mill closures on Donald Trump, Minister of Forests Ravi Parmar should t...

Tourists Rack Up $200M in Unpaid Health Bills While BC Patients Wait Years for Care

While British Columbians wait years for basic medical care, the NDP government has allowed non-residents to rack up $200.6 million in unpaid health bills since 2020-2021. New research from SecondStreet.org, obtained through a freedom of information request, revealed that people from outside Canada are coming to BC, receiving health services, and leaving without paying their bills.  The losses span every health region in the province. "British Columbians are not guaranteed timely access to healthcare, be it treatment or diagnostics, and this situation continues to deteriorate under the NDP," said Anna Kindy, MLA for North Island and Critic for Health. "Taxpayers are footing the bill for tourists' health treatments to the tune of over $200 million, enough to cover over 21,000 hip replacements in this province while British Columbians wait months to years for that surgery.” The research found BC has the worst record of any province in Canada examined so far. Under a dec...

NDP Finance Minister Given "F" on Report Card by Canadian Taxpayers Federation

Peter Milobar, MLA for Kamloops Centres and Official Opposition Finance Critic, released the following statement in response to the Canadian Taxpayers Federation's 2026 Finance Minister Report Card, which ranked BC Finance Minister Brenda Bailey dead last among provincial finance ministers in Canada with an overall grade of "F":  "British Columbians didn't need a report card to know things are headed in the wrong direction. They see it every time they pay their bills, try to buy a home, or watch another government deficit pile up. But now an independent national organization has confirmed that NDP Brenda Bailey is the worst-rated finance minister in Canada. "After nearly a decade of decline under this NDP government, British Columbia has become a province where people pay more, government borrows more, and families get less in return. We have some of the highest debt in the country, repeated credit downgrades, and no credible plan to get our finances back on...
