Great! The less power those bone heads in Ottawa have the better it is for the rest of us.

All good to hear that the AB government is offering financial support.

Does this have any immediate effects on restricted transfer times?

Although I’m sure this a good step in the right direction I can’t help but wonder what it means in the long term.
Is it just a case of immediate relief for transfer wait times? What happens when Ottawa bans now restricted fire arms? Can our CFO tell the fed to go pound sand?
I’ve carried an RPAL for years now but never bought anything like that. Just wondering if that window of opportunity is going to close forever here soon.

Buy one soon or forever hold your peace. Unless PP is the next PM and reverses it, they are all gonna be prohib. And I never count on a politician to do the right thing.

Feds make the laws and CFO's administer those laws.

Agree with CNP, our Alberta CFO is just a contract employee of the Federal Gov. system with salary paid by Alberta tax payers. Some benefits but not much.
She must still administer and follow Federal laws.

Sorry this reply is so late. But doesn’t the RCMP apply those laws? I’m just trying to figure out if this amounts to a kind of not withstanding type deal.

RCMP, Sheriffs and any municipal police force (Calgary, Edmonton, Lethbridge, Taber, Camrose, Medicine Hat and Lacombe) are authorized to enforce Federal Acts in Alberta. The notwithstanding clause is used to override a charter right. Firearms ownership/use is not a charter right. IMO a notwithstanding clause is not something that a province can use in order to not comply with the Firearms Act.

I would think all Danielle has to do is instruct the prosecutors to concentrate on the bigger fish.

Yes, but how those laws are enforced are not the same.
I have heard that an ATT in Alberta was any time/anywhere.
Where as one in the east was for Bob's gun range from 1900-2100 on Tuesdays.
I don't know if someone in the east would get overlooked by shooting a restricted on their own land.
I do know that in Alberta it is usually a case of "I didn't see it".
