Some title he gave Blair "Minister of Border Security and Organized Crime Reduction" He is directly nodding to racists who wish to lump the border crossers in with criminals. He doesn't care who it hurts. It is disgusting. https://www.thestar.com/opinion/contributors/2018/07/19/bill-blair-is-the-best-person-to-combat-gun-violence.html

is all about gun control. I think you are wrong. Some right wingers will vote for Trudeau if he is tough on guns and border security. This is a wedge. Not a dog whistle. And in Canada gun control wedge works in the left's favour. And people on the left will run to whichever left party is ahead come election day. It is smart.

Attempt to look like he is treating the refugee issue as an organized crime one. Reason being they KNOW what this title looks like, they would have workshopped it. Secondly, guns really aren't an issue up here though the tories try to make them one sometimes.

I would say generally our gun violence ebbs and flows. Toronto and Vancouver BOTH have good and bad years but to pretend we're going to turn into Chicago is pretty far fetched and I would look carefully and any politician telling me otherwise.
