Canadians woke up to the reality that their new government is doubling down on confiscatory gun policy, with Prime Minister Mark Carney’s administration pushing an “assault-style firearms compensation program” that effectively treats law‑abiding owners like the enemy. This isn’t small‑town politics — it’s Ottawa using the machinery of the state to bully rural hunters and responsible families into surrendering property they legally own.
If you scratch the pretty brochure, what you find is a train wreck of poor planning and exploding costs; an internal government report leaked this year admits officials are doubtful the buyback will work as promised and worry the public won’t trust the program messenger. Canadians are rightly skeptical when Ottawa spends hundreds of millions and still can’t explain how this will stop criminals who traffic illegal guns across borders.
Pilot programs have been embarrassing at best — one island test returned a handful of firearms when tens of thousands were promised, and several provinces and local police forces have refused to participate. Ottawa even had to reckon with Canada Post’s security concerns and local councils passing resolutions formally opposing the initiative, showing that the political will for grand federal confiscation simply isn’t there in many communities.
Make no mistake: this is theater dressed up as public safety. The real problem is criminals and broken borders, not hunters with bolt‑action rifles. Conservatives should be unafraid to call this what it is — a vanity project that punishes law‑abiding citizens while doing nothing to dismantle violent, black‑market networks.
Now the federal machine is so desperate it’s resorting to ad campaigns to sell the sell‑off, testing messaging like a marketing firm trying to convince folks to defect from their own rights. When the government needs focus groups and radio spots to coax participation, you know it’s governing by persuasion rather than principle — and that’s a bad sign for liberty.
Meanwhile, on this side of the border the so‑called “death of journalism” is not just breathless punditry — it’s real money and manpower walking out the door. The Washington Post announced sweeping cuts in early February 2026 that gutted sections and left entire beats hollowed out, proof that legacy outlets that peddled partisan narratives are now paying the price for selling readers a toxic mix of advocacy and clickbait.
Conservatives should celebrate the clearing of the air: journalism isn’t dying, it’s being forced to get honest or die on the vine. The old gatekeepers who treated reporting as an ideological hammer are imploding, and that opens space for independent, accountable voices who tell the truth to hardworking Americans instead of lecturing them from ivory towers.
Americans watching these developments should be wary and vigilant. When foreign governments flirt with confiscation and our own media proves itself untrustworthy, patriotic citizens must defend property, free speech, and local control — because real public safety comes from secure borders, accountable policing, and communities that respect lawful ownership, not grand federal spectacles that prey on the innocent.
