I don’t know how much influence he has on self defense law, but one of the shows that he does not want Canadians to be able to defend themselves with firearms. He is pushing the notion that firearms are only for “hunting and sport”, and he’ll probably restrict or ban those uses once he’s finished taking handguns away.
The USA is lucky to have their right to bear arms enshrined in a law that is near impossible to change. They still attack gun rights from every angle they can, but at least it’s an uphill battle for them. In Canada all you need is a generation convinced by movies and TV that guns are only used for senseless violence and you’ll be a hero for taking them away.
