Schweitzer
Doug Schweitzer, the provincial minister of justice, has said he wants to clarify rules on self-defence and boost property rights so innocent people stay alive and safe. Many men and women feel guns would help.
“Rural Albertans are on edge,” Schweitzer said today on Twitter while sharing a CBC News report of business owners fearing for their lives.
Rural Albertans are on edge.
We've already made announcements to enhance property rights. Also, the budget yesterday funds our campaign commitments to tackle rural crime.
More new policies coming shortly from feedback during Townhalls. #ableg #abpolihttps://t.co/Nzqrtnz4Uk

“We are going to tackle rural crime head on!” Schweitzer tweeted Oct. 15 with an article from the Edmonton Journal. “Our democracy is founded on public safety and right now rural Albertans do not feel safe.”
This headline sums up the stories that we've heard first hand at every Townhall across Alberta.
We are going to tackle rural crime head on!
Our democracy is founded on public safety and right now rural Albertans do not feel safe. #ableg #abpoli https://t.co/OX77MU4olp

Trudeau
Trudeau is working to confiscate 250,000 mainly “Non-restricted” rifles from farmers, ranchers and other federally licensed firearm users in Alberta and across the country. He also wants new laws to take away their handguns.
All of the measures target safe and responsible men and women among the 2.2 million adults with a police-authorized gun permit.
“We’re taking the strongest step in Canadian history to move forward on tougher gun legislation,” Trudeau said Oct. 1 while campaigning in an election that he and his Liberal Party won Oct. 21.
The Liberals, whose election platform didn’t mention Alberta, failed to win a single electoral district in the province.
