Transcript

00:00:00.000 The federal government, you remember, has put in a mandatory gun buyback program for what they call the, you know, the nasty looking assault rifles.
00:00:10.680 A price list was kind of put out today for some of them where the government is going to pay just about a little bit over $1,300 for the average AR type weapon and up to $6,000 for some of the others.
00:00:26.040 We've talked to your friend, Tony Bernardo, with the CCSA, is it?
00:00:31.740 CSSA, yeah.
00:00:32.840 Yeah, you'll be talking about them later, I'm sure.
00:00:35.620 And he's not very happy with this.
00:00:37.520 He said, you know, how can you put a single price on a type of gun that has so many different varieties?
00:00:43.840 So while the full list hasn't been published yet, Corey, we are sort of starting to get, you know, a little bit of a guideline on what the liberals are going to do.
00:00:51.000 And there's no doubt it's going to end up being a billion-dollar boondoggle.
00:00:56.120 Western Standard readers will remember Mel Rizdin's piece a couple weeks ago where we reported that the highest cause of death in Alberta at the moment is unexplained causes.
00:01:07.900 And Mark Stein did a bit of a rant on that on British TV yesterday.
00:01:12.760 And it's very interesting, very fun.
00:01:15.100 I encourage all the readers to take a look at that.
00:01:18.680 Tamara Leach came to mind this morning, Corey, when we heard of details of an Edmonton man charged with six counts of child luring and talking the kids into performing sex acts and basically getting their personal information and extorting them.
00:01:36.400 Well, despite all these serious charges, he was in jail less than a couple of hours.
00:01:42.000 And he'd already gotten bail and he's already back out there.
00:01:45.960 So, you know, you think of poor Tamara Leach sitting in an Ottawa hellhole for months.
00:01:51.400 And it just shows you how politically driven that story is.
00:01:58.560 And Alberta government responding this morning to growing cases of monkeypox.
00:02:03.300 they've set up a vaccination program for men who were in the danger zone who could who could get it.
00:02:12.080 So those are just some of the stories we've got out this morning, Corey.
00:02:15.340 We'll be right back.
