When Ottawa spends billions attacking the people who already obey the law, you have to wonder if public safety was ever their goal.
From Victoria, British Columbia, to St. John’s, Newfoundland, law-abiding Possession and Acquisition Licence (PAL) holders watch Ottawa waste more resources, strip more rights from lawful Canadians, and protect more violent criminals from prosecution and incarceration while calling it, in true Orwellian fashion, “public safety.”
The numbers don’t lie. In 2024, more Canadians than ever earned their Possession and Acquisition Licences (PALs,) and that’s good news for public safety, no matter what the politicians say.
“The number of adults in Canada with a government-approved gun licence rose to a new high in 2024,” writes Nicolas Johnson, “again defying the Liberal Party-led administration’s actions to criminalize gun users and confiscate our gear.”
There’s a quiet crisis unfolding in Canadian neighbourhoods. Good, law-abiding citizens — mothers, fathers, seniors, and working-class homeowners — are being dragged through the criminal justice system for doing what any decent person would do in the face of violence: they defended themselves and their families from evil.
Last week, Ontario MPP Bobbi Ann Brady called for the adoption of U.S.-style Castle Doctrine in Canada.
Ontario Superior Court Justice Andrew Goodman has been publicly reprimanded and ordered to apologize to a man found guilty of manslaughter for imposing a prison sentence two years longer than intended at the end of the high-profile case.
Goodman waited over a year before admitting he’d meant to sentence Peter Khill to six years in prison for manslaughter, not eight.
Khill had been found guilty in the 2016 shooting death of Jonathan Styres, a 29-year-old Cayuga father of two from Six Nations of the Grand River.
He should never have been found guilty to begin with.
The Democratic (read: communist) frontrunner in New York City’s mayoral race, Zohran Mamdani, has made clear his intention to strip citizens of the right to armed self-defense—a position more radical than that of the Soviet Union.
While his proposals to abolish private property and his leniency toward criminal behavior are well known, one of the most chilling elements of his platform is captured in a simple declaration: “We need to ban all guns.”
Veteran police in Canada still remember the days when officers, stunned that a colleague had taken a gun off the street, would gather to have a look at the firearm.
“It would fly through the station,” said Paul Krawczyk, an inspector with the integrated guns and gangs task force of the Toronto Police Service, Canada’s largest metropolitan police force.
Seizing firearms is now a routine, and growing, part of the job for Canadian police, especially in Toronto. This week marked the grim anniversary of a mass shooting in 2018 in a bustling east Toronto neighborhood called Danforth. Two people — a teenager, Reese Fallon, 18, and a child, Julianna Kozis, 10 — were killed and 13 others were injured.
The Danforth Attack was not a run of the mill mass shooting, it was a Muslim Terror attack covered up by authorities.

There’s a very specific kind of mass shooting story the media doesn’t like to cover… it’s the kind that doesn’t happen because a good guy with a gun stopped it cold.
Roughly a month ago, a man stormed into a Michigan church during Sunday worship and opened fire. It could have ended in total carnage. But it didn’t. Because a legally armed, everyday churchgoer took him down. No military training. No law enforcement background. Just courage, quick action, and a gun.
A new report from the RCMP reveals that the number of Canadians holding a government-issued firearms licence reached an all-time high in 2024.
In Dec. 2024, there were 2,412,122 Possession and Acquisition Licence (PAL) holders in Canada, representing a 2.5% increase from 2,352,504 in December 2023.
While headlines scream about the rising cost of groceries, power bills, and climate policy flops, something subtler is brewing in Ottawa: a quiet retreat from the Trudeau-era firearms ban.
The 2025 Liberal Pre-Budget Consultation survey offers Canadians an opportunity to influence the Mark Carney government’s public spending priorities.
When it comes to Canada’s often tense debate around gun laws, most Canadians likely will not have heard of an RCMP database called the Firearms Reference Table, or FRT.
But to people like Melody Philistin, unexpected updates to this database have a personal impact.
“Yeah. It really sucks,” she said.
Philistin is a competitive shooter who recently represented Canada at an international event in the Czech Republic.
A Calgary-based firearms company says one of its rifles being classified as prohibited by the RCMP has thrown his business into “crisis mode.”
“Right now, I’m all riled up, because I get very frustrated. I’ve been in the industry now for like 28 years,” said J.R. Cox, head of Sterling Arms International. “It’s these rulings that, to me, completely devalue and delegitimize the RCMP technical identification team.”
On June 18, 2025, President Javier Milei significantly shifted Argentina’s firearms policy.
For the first time in three decades, civilians are permitted to buy and possess semi-automatic firearms. President Milei also lowered the minimum age for firearm ownership from 21 to 18.
RCMP has declared the Sterling Arms R9 MK1 carbine a prohibited firearm, effective July 6, 2025.
This sudden reclassification impacts all models, including sub-models 198846-1 and 198846-2.
Canadian Shooting Sports Association (CSSA) alerted its members, warning the move is a major blow to owners.
Prime Minister Mark Carney wasted no time in axing a signature Justin Trudeau policy the moment he took on the job. It wasn’t that the carbon tax was bad policy, per se, or focused on the wrong target or poorly administered or needlessly bureaucratic. Indeed, Mr. Carney was broadly supportive of carbon pricing as a mechanism to curb greenhouse gas emissions right up until the moment he got the words “Right Honourable” added to his stationery.
The problem with the carbon tax, as we all know, was that it was deeply unpopular in Canada, so the new Prime Minister had no choice but to kill it if he wanted to keep his job.
The mainstream, anti-gun media lies a lot.
They don’t necessarily make up things, of course. They might misrepresent the truth, which might be intentional or might just be from ignorance, but actually fabricating things? That doesn’t happen nearly as often as many of us might like to believe.
No, they tend to be great at the lie of omission.
