While I applaud a Canadian government for keeping their long standing promises, I really cannot understand why they feel the absolute need to shred the records all this wasted money was spent on collecting? Wouldn't it makes sense for us to get at least some bang for our buck on transferring these records to the provinces that want to build their own registry? I mean the money that would be spent destroying the records kind of falls outside this government's long-standing narrative on this issue.
I've always felt the long-gun registry has been rather useless, and have always stood on the Conservative's side in opposition to it, but I never really thought they'd make such a big deal of destroying the records. Obviously they want to prevent it from EVER coming back even in decades after the Harper government is gone.
