Do you believe Mark Carney’s Liberal government will compensate you fairly for your confiscated firearms?
We don’t, because this scheme only pays compensation in narrowly defined circumstances.

Canada’s Massive ‘Voluntary’ Gun Buyback Program Comes With Prison Time
Hundreds of thousands of Canadians could face prison time if they do not turn in their newly prohibited guns under a supposedly “voluntary” gun buyback program that is testing the strength of Canada’s bureaucratic regime.
Since May 2020, the Canadian government has attempted to institute a massive “assault-style firearms compensation program” that will purportedly trade cash for prohibited guns. If Canadians do not turn in a prohibited gun by October 2026, they could face up to five years in prison. The program has faced massive pushback from provincial leaders and gun rights organizations who say it will only disarm law-abiding Canadians.
SIMPER: The trust gap — why Canada is confiscating guns while post-authoritarian Europe regulates
On January 19, the federal government sent an industrial-scale email to nearly every one of Canada’s 2.3 million licenced firearm owners. It wasn’t a standard update. Instead, it was an invitation to a “maybe.” For the next ten weeks, owners are being asked to log into a portal and “declare” property that, in many cases, the government doesn’t even know they have.
BERNARDO: The messaging war driving Canada’s next gun ban
The Bondi Beach tragedy is the latest excuse Canadian gun confiscation advocate PolySeSouvient uses to tighten the noose on legal gun owners, especially hunters and sport shooters.

Top Gun Expert: Kyle Rittenhouse‘s Situation ‘Completely Different Animal‘ Than Alex Pretti Shooting
On Monday’s “Alex Marlow Show,” Breitbart News 2nd Amendment columnist AWR Hawkins talked about Kyle Rittenhouse and Minnesota.
Hawkins said, “It’s not a good place to walk in carrying a gun, particularly if you’re going to walk right at police officers or federal law enforcement officers. It just doesn’t make sense. Completely different animal than what Kyle was in, completely different.”
BERNARDO: Ottawa flips the switch on the gun confiscations and hands the keys to the RCMP
On January 19, firearms confiscation flipped from theoretical to reality for Canada’s 2.3 million licenced gun owners.
Public Safety Canada opened its “voluntary declaration” phase of the Liberal government’s Firearms Confiscation Compensation Scheme.
BORG: Quebec is the only province backing the federal ‘gun grab’
Quebec is now the only province openly willing to work with Ottawa on its federal “gun grab,” a reality that is hardening regional divisions and deepening skepticism about the so-called “assault-style” firearms compensation program.
While most provinces and many major police services have either rejected or distanced themselves from the initiative, Quebec has signalled its readiness to cooperate with the federal government on implementation. That decision has left Quebec increasingly isolated as the rest of the country pushes back against what critics routinely describe as a “gun grab.”
Walmart Held Liable Over Gun Sale to Suicidal Employee
A Maryland jury handed down a multi-million dollar judgment against Walmart this week, finding that the company was negligent in selling a shotgun to an employee who took his life with the firearm a few hours later.
WIECHNIK: The absurdity of civilian resistance in a disarmed Canada
The Globe and Mail has reported that the Canadian Armed Forces quietly put together a hypothetical scenario of the United States military invading Canada.
The results — if you’ve been paying any attention to Canada’s military over the last decade — were what you probably expected.

LILLEY: Doug Ford latest politician to say federal gun program won’t work
Doug Ford is adding his name to the list of politicians saying the federal government’s gun “buyback” program misses the mark. His comments come one day after the largest police force in the country also said they won’t be participating.
Toronto police refuse participation in Ottawa’s gun grab
TORONTO — Toronto Police Service has declined to participate in the federal government’s gun grab program, according to Public Safety Minister Gary Anandasangaree.
The decision comes as the Liberal government prepares alternative methods to collect prohibited firearms in Ontario, including the use of so-called mobile collection units. These units would be staffed by off-duty Royal Canadian Mounted Police officers or local police officers, the minister said.

Cory Morgan: Time to Admit the Gun Ban Agenda Won’t Work
The Liberal Party of Canada has long been a political chameleon. It has been able to pragmatically adapt to contemporary issues and position itself toward the political centre of things. When the party drifts too far to one side of the spectrum, as happened under Justin Trudeau, it can reinvent itself and reset the electoral clock, as it did with Mark Carney. It’s an infuriating ability for partisan Conservatives to watch, and it has kept the Liberals as the predominant party in power for decades.
Ottawa’s gun grab program for individuals goes national, Prairies refuse to play along
CALGARY — While the Liberal government formally announced the start of its nationwide firearms gun grab program for individuals in Montreal on Saturday, it remains to be seen how enforcement will be initiated in the Prairie provinces.
A pilot for Canada’s gun buyback was a failure. The Liberals are committing anyway
When an individual falls victim to the sunk cost fallacy, the consequences that follow are generally even worse. Maybe it’s an extra few thousand wasted on a rust bucket of a car just to feel like the money invested in it wasn’t for nothing. Maybe it means staying in a bad relationship that ought to have ended years ago. Maybe it’s why – just to pick a totally random example – a columnist will persist with a snoozer of a column because she’s typed out 500 words already. These are emotional, illogical decisions, but humans are emotional, illogical creatures who often have a hard time reversing course when we feel like we’ve already invested a lot of money, time or attention.
Tasha Kheiriddin: The Liberals are well aware gun-grab is all for show — that’s the point
Twenty-five guns. That’s all the federal government collected in a recent pilot project in Nova Scotia for its new “buyback” (a.k.a. expropriation) program for prohibited firearms. “A total of 25 prohibited firearms, turned in by 16 participants, were destroyed,” spokesperson Noémie Allard said Friday. “The total compensation paid to pilot participants is $26,535.”
