Prof. Glenn Hanna did a series of CBC Radio interviews on Aug. 30 on how the federal government is studying a full ban on handguns and assault weapons in Canada.

The interviews aired on CBC morning shows in Quebec City, Charlottetown, Thunder Bay, Sudbury, Cape Breton, Gander, Winnipeg, Prince George, Edmonton, Kelowna, Whitehorse and Vancouver.

Hanna, assistant program head of justice studies at the University of Guelph-Humber, talked about components of an effective handgun ban and what kinds of resources would be required to monitor guns coming over the U.S.-Canada border.

Hanna belonged to the RCMP for 32 years. He studies organizational leadership and behaviour, focusing on justice and post-secondary sectors. Hanna is also an adjunct professor in U of G’s Department of Political Science.
