The Liberal government’s gun “buyback” program is shot full of holes. Starting with a six-week pilot program in Cape Breton before expanding to the rest of the country, the program relies on a lot of “ifs” and the goodwill of Canadians.
Canada’s Corrupt Liberal Government
Carney pledges 400 million to Gaza & West Bank in latest Islamist vote buying scam
Canada allocates more than $400 million in aid to West Bank, Canada, PM Carney announces
Canada has promised to exceed $400 million in funds to the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, including a new investment of $47 million, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney announced on Tuesday. The total amount also includes a new $47 million investment in the judicial systems, government structures, economic resilience, and democratization efforts of the territories.
Canada officially recognized a Palestinian state this week alongside the UK, Australia, and Portugal, with Carney reiterating his support for a two-state solution.
Canada recognizes a version of Palestine that only exists in Geneva’s dreams
Hamas performed a public execution on a Gaza City street on Sunday night. Three men in blindfolds, who had been accused of collaborating with Israel, were lowered to their knees in front of hundreds of onlookers. While members of the crowd cheered, jeered and took videos on their phones, the men were shot at point-blank range.
Just hours earlier, a dispatch had come from Ottawa: Canada was officially recognizing a Palestinian state.
‘Canada has values’: Carney defends recognition of Palestinian statehood despite U.S. criticism
OTTAWA — Prime Minister Mark Carney defended on Tuesday his government’s decision to recognize the State of Palestine despite fierce criticism from U.S. President Donald Trump, Republican lawmakers and the Conservative opposition in Ottawa.
Earlier in the day, Trump accused allied nations — which include Canada — of encouraging “continued conflict” in the Middle East by seemingly rewarding terrorist group Hamas.
Canada has values. Carney and his Liberals do not.

Buyback program for banned firearms to begin in Nova Scotia next month
The Liberal government will begin its long-awaited gun buyback program for individuals next month with a pilot project based in Cape Breton, N.S.
Public Safety Minister Gary Anandasangaree announced the pilot program in Ottawa on Tuesday, saying the buyback is voluntary and that “no one is having their weapon confiscated.”
“We want to be sure everything is working properly before we open the program nationwide later in the fall,” Anandasangaree said.

Revenge of the Blue Liberals
OAKVILLE, ONT.—Over the past six months, there seems to have been a dramatic reversal of fortune within the Liberal Party’s ranks.
Whereas once, Liberals of the left-wing variety appeared to rule the roost, now, in Prime Minister Mark Carney’s government, it’s “Blue Liberals” who seem to be calling the shots.
By “Blue Liberals,” of course, I mean those in the Liberal Party who, while liberal on social and cultural issues, tend to be more fiscally conservative, or at least, they’re more concerned about promoting policies that are business or free-market-friendly.
Public safety minister’s ‘misguided’ comments in leaked audio undermined the Liberal’s gun buyback program, critics charge
OTTAWA—Public Safety Minister Gary Anandasangaree was on the defensive Monday after a leaked audio recording revealed him making “misguided” comments that critics charged undermine the contentious and long-delayed federal gun buyback program ahead of its start.
As first reported by the Star, Anandasangaree claimed in a secretly recorded conversation that Mark Carney’s government is forging ahead with the roughly $750-million Trudeau-era gun ban and buyback program because of electoral pressures from Quebec, despite questions about its effectiveness and stringent opposition from provinces, police and gun owners across the rest of the country.
KLEIN: Disappointed in my country, Canada rewards terrorist Hamas
I am a disappointed Canadian today.
On October 7, 2023, Hamas slaughtered more than 1,200 people in Israel, including eight of our own citizens. Families were ripped apart, children were dragged into tunnels, and hostages are still being held. Instead of standing firmly against terror, our prime minister, Mark Carney, rewarded it. He chose to recognize a Palestinian state while Hamas continues to fire rockets, hold captives, and call for the destruction of Israel.
Toronto’s Palestinian and Jewish communities react to Canadian recognition of Palestinian state
Members of Toronto’s Palestinian and Jewish communities are reacting with mixed feelings after Canada officially recognized the state of Palestine Sunday.
Canada, along with international partners, promised to preserve the prospect of a two-state solution, according to a statement from Prime Minister Mark Carney’s office released Sunday morning.
Canada’s recognition of Palestinians’ right to self-determination and belief in human values is a crucial step forward in bringing about peace, says Bashar Al-Shawwa, a Palestinian activist in Toronto.
Liberals’ push for gun buyback program fuelled by pressure from Quebec, public safety minister says in leaked audio
OTTAWA—Public Safety Minister Gary Anandasangaree says he made “misguided” comments after a leaked audio recording reviewed by the Star reveals him claiming Mark Carney’s government is forging ahead with the Trudeau-era gun ban and buyback program because of electoral pressures from Quebec, despite stringent opposition from provinces, police and gun owners across the rest of the country.
It was one of many revelations made in a roughly 20-minute back-and-forth about the plan between Anandasangaree and his tenant, who lives in a Toronto residential property owned by the minister. The tenant, who is a frustrated gun owner, recorded the conversation discreetly because they were discussing issues at the home before the minister began talking about the buyback scheme.

TERRAZZANO: Carney’s budget will get failing grade if he spends more than Trudeau
Taxpayers have a simple benchmark for Prime Minister Mark Carney’s first budget: Spending must go down.
After a decade of out-of-control spending, Carney’s budget will be a failure if he spends one dollar more than former prime minister Justin Trudeau.
‘Hamas State’: Tories Say Ottawa’s Recognition of Palestine Statehood Rewards Terrorism
The Conservative Party says Canada’s recognition of Palestinian statehood rewards Hamas’s acts of terrorism and that the federal government should instead be focused on issues of importance at home.
“Prime Minister Mark Carney’s priority is creating a Hamas state that will reward terrorists for raping civilians, taking hostages, oppressing Palestinians and launching a war,” the Conservatives said in a statement on Sept. 21.
