Canada opposition chief promises gun crackdown, slams Trudeau as weak
TORONTO - Andrew Scheer, the head of Canada’s opposition Conservatives, on Friday promised a crime crackdown if he won a Oct. 21 election, but faced repeated questions about why he had not revealed that he has U.S. citizenship.
Scheer’s vow to get tough on crime was overshadowed by the revelation that he is also a U.S. citizen. After the Globe and Mail newspaper broke the news on Thursday, Scheer said he was giving up his American citizenship. “When Canadians are looking at what he is offering this election, they know they cannot trust him,” Scheer said of Trudeau.
Scheer earlier on Friday told a Toronto news conference that the Conservatives would introduce a five-year minimum mandatory prison sentence for violent gang crime, and the same penalty for possession of a smuggled firearm.
