According to Paul St-Pierre Plamondon, it is not so much Carey Price’s behavior that is to be criticized as that of “groups who have approached him” and who have “omitted certain information” in order to persuade him to publish his message . .
“Has he been briefed on the full connection? Or was he just given certain snippets of information?” he wondered.
The leader of the PQ believes that Carey Price’s job “is not to analyze public policy” but “to stop pucks”.
“To each their own work, I don’t want us to follow Carey Price (…). I want to know who approached Carey Price in preparation for this outing,” he said.
“I love my family, I love my country and I take care of my neighbors. I am not a criminal or a threat to society. What Justin Trudeau is trying to do is unfair. I support the coalition to keep my hunting tools,” Number 31 explained in an Instagram post, in which he appears in hunting gear and gun in hand.
On Monday, the Canadian’s organization said Price was unaware of the December 6, 1989 Polytechnique massacre. On Tuesday morning, the hockey player published a message on social networks claiming to be aware of this sad event.
A “lack of judgment,” says Tanguay
For his part, interim leader of the Liberal Party of Quebec, Marc Tanguay, judged that the Montreal Canadiens goaltender showed “a lack of judgement”.
According to Mr. Tanguay, it was “ill-advised” for Carey Price to give his support to the Canadian Coalition for Gun Rights, even more so when he chose to do so.
clumsiness
Regarding the gun registry as such, PQ members stress that “we will not decide in Quebec” which guns will be banned, and they are open to “reviewing the list and seeing if there were any errors in identification.” what hunting tools are”.
“Semi-automatic, to shoot a deer, at some point you have to give yourself tools in relation to the sporting activity,” added Paul St-Pierre Plamondon.
Îles-de-la-Madeleine MP Joël Arseneau also believes that the confusion surrounding the C-21 bill is due to the clumsiness of the federal government.
“Restrict access to offensive weapons, we agree. We agree that the government should clarify its law adopted two years ago, and do it in the right way. I think the government acted awkwardly by presenting its bill and then adding a number of articles and clarifications that leave room for interpretation,” Mr Arseneau said.
On Saturday, the Montreal Canadiens goaltender spoke out against an amendment to the federal government’s Bill C-21 that would place more restrictions on gun owners.
