Trudeau Pledges $1B For Gun Confiscation Plan
When Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau called for snap elections a couple of weeks ago, the polls were looking pretty good for his Liberal Party.

Still, Trudeau’s clearly in trouble, and on Wednesday his party unveiled an election platform chock-full of goodies and giveaways to Canadian voters.

UK: ‘Force gun owners to face online hate trawl’
Police must trawl through the social media accounts of people applying for firearms licences to prevent those with extremist views from having access to deadly weapons, a former Metropolitan Police chief has said.
