I seriously doubt that would be on their radar considering trying to keep order and all that. I think the criminals will be getting desperate when they find that their normal B&E and porch-theft criminal activities are disrupted by people being home. The intersection beggars will not be there because nobody will roll down their window for them anymore.

Once COVID-19 establishes in the homeless and the crackheads its going to be awful. And it will. Imagine how much more desperate those sorts will be when they're Jonesing hard for their fix. I think a special jail section will probably be necessary. Imagine the risks to LE just physically arresting them. Its Taser time, baby!

They had more important things to worry about during the high river flood too.
They're not ones to let a good crisis go to waste.

In High River the houses were unoccupied. Now they'll surely be occupied. Then it was the RCMP and being the emergency was in one region they could summon manpower. In the big cities it will be the municipal forces and they'll have way better stuff to do.

I sure hope you're right.

Now go to bed!
Don't you have plumbing to do tomorrow?

I give the government the same amount of trust to do the right thing as they give me. Turns out that number is pretty close to 0%.

They would likely utilize that for commandeering a hotel or other large facility to accommodate health services

There’s a possibility. Maybe, unlike China, they’d get some hotels for quarantine that don’t collapse like that 7 story one did in China.

[catnthehat]

The Goverment did not go running around confiscating firearms from law abiding cites end the last time martial law was invoked , they had more important things to do, I going if guns are actually on their radar now either.:thinking-006:

That kind of construction is common

My bff was in Taiwan during a large earthquake in the 90's. She was dragging her duffel thru the streets amid fire and collapsed buildings and she took pics of crumbled buildings that had empty oil barrels as part of the building construction. Apparently this was done to avoid using cement.

Imagine the 9 story parking lot, each level supported by 4ft of cement, then 4 ft of empty oil barrels? One good earthquake crumpled those barrels and it all caved in.

[Scottmisfits]

I really don't care of their intentions whether they're going to take guns, houses (for clinics or command centers), vehicles, or nothing at all. I am not in favor of giving them the legal authority to do so. Give an inch?
Maybe this is something that they would repeal, maybe not. It just seems very opportunistic with all the other talk of gun control lately that they could bring this up and then not repeal it. Income tax is a war measures act they was supposed to be repealed when the war was over, but we still pay it now.

I think this thread will do more harm than good right now

Maybe so but we only need to look at The High River flood to find a recent event where the RCMP used an emergency to push the anti firearm agenda. We need to be aware but not paranoid at this time.

[Sundog57]

they can do whatever they want
If they show up at your door threaten to sneeze on them

[RavYak]

Didn't you know this coronavirus is a hoax? Our Canadian government planted the virus in China so that eventually it would spread to Canada so that they can use it as a reason to invoke this emergencies act and come take your guns away...

No one is going to take your guns away unless you start pointing or shooting them at people...

[260 Rem]

Breathe.....deep breaths....da'man be a coming for ya!!!!!:scared:

Ya but ...”just because you are paranoid, doesn’t mean they are NOT out to get you” :)

Right now, the sale of firearms and ammunition is booming, because people are worried that either the stores will run out, or that the government might stop the sale of firearms and ammunition.

[Dr Beak]

Emergencies act is basically martial law.

Geez, the last time martial law was invoked was by ?? Can't remember his last name?? :mad0100: Dum-Dum would LOVE to follow his not-real dad's footsteps :scared0018:

It's not the Act itself that scares people, it's the fool that may enact it. Most people just don't trust our government, and especially the person leading it. Trusting him, is like trusting a five year old to play with gasoline and matches.

[waldedw]

Just make up a sign and stick to your front door " Covid 19 Quarantine "

so thinks have changed (I mean things).

rhetorically... please bear with me for a moment.

they are going to drag out the voluntary confiscation for dimes on the dollar, two year amnesty goes by quick and we're still under his administration for a short amount of time really, needs to secure votes again. They will come a knocking. yea or nay

Mind you they'll need to drag out the emergencies act until then. And I believe the NDP will back them on it. Done deal no?!

What say you's now?

Apologies mi mynd goes a mile a minute
