Justin Trudeau and his Liberal government are obsessed with confiscating guns owned by licensed firearms owners.
On the day Justin Trudeau and Bill Blair banned 1,500 makes and models of rifles and shotguns, they promised that Firearms Confiscation Compensation would be paid to owners of these now-worthless guns.
Since then, the consistent theme from Justin Trudeau and his parade of Public Safety Ministers has not changed.
“We have signaled our intent to implement a buyback program as soon as possible.”[i]
“As soon as possible” appears to mean never, primarily because Trudeau and his parade of Public Safety Ministers can’t find anyone willing to confiscate firearms on the government’s behalf.
Their constant delays have not prevented this government from talking about confiscating guns given the slightest opportunity.
A search of the Government of Canada’s website shows 140 results for the term “gun buyback.”[ii]
Those prattling on about their grandiose Firearms Confiscation Compensation Scheme include the Prime Minister’s Office, the Department of Justice, Public Safety Canada, Canada Border Services Agency, two Throne Speeches and the Minister for Women and Gender Equality.
It seems everyone wants to talk about the Liberal plan to confiscate guns from licensed firearms owners yet, despite wasting over $67 million so far, they haven’t managed to confiscate a single firearm.[iii]
But they will begin confiscating those guns soon, promised Public Safety Minister Dominic LeBlanc on September 24, 2024.
“We’ll have more information, those concrete details that I know you’re looking forward to, in the coming weeks…” Leblanc told reporters.[iv]
That’s been LeBlanc’s refrain since he took over from Marco Mendicino in late 2023.
"More information on the buyback program will be available at a later date."[v]
They’ve wasted four long years and so much money that one of their staunchest supporters, gun ban lobby group PolySeSouvient declared Justin Trudeau “persona non grata” at their annual remembrance of 14 women murdered on December 6, 1989.
Violent Crime Rates Soar under Trudeau
Imagine if this Liberal government focused their obsession on the real problem and confiscated guns from violent criminals and repeat offenders.
If they did the hard work required to actually “keep Canadians safe”, we wouldn’t see headlines like “Violent Crime Surges in Canada’s Major Cities: Report.”[vi]
The Urban Violent Crime Report[vii], published by the Macdonald-Laurier Institute, analysed “10 years of police-reported violent crime data (2014–2023) on homicide, aggravated assault, sexual assault, and robbery in order to explore violent crime trends in nine major cities that comprise one-third of the Canadian population: Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Winnipeg, Peel Region, Toronto, York Region, Ottawa, and Montreal.”
“Violent crime rates for certain crimes – most notably sexual assault and robbery – are rising nearly everywhere. In particular, sexual assault rates are consistently trending upward over the long- and short-term, with increases in every major city except Ottawa.”
Higher violent crime and more sexual assaults are the true legacy of Canada’s self-proclaimed feminist Prime Minister.
Why are women’s groups not up in arms over this?
We’re Grateful for Liberal Ineptness
After four long years, the Liberals’ tune remains the same.
“We’ll have more information, those concrete details that I know you’re looking forward to, in the coming weeks…”
They keep promising to keep their promises… but Canadians aren’t interested.
“The harbinger of the Liberal’s metro downfall was perhaps the party’s June loss of Toronto – St. Paul’s, a riding that had elected a Liberal in every election dating back to 1993,” wrote the non-profit Angus Reid Institute.[viii]
“New data … illuminates how sinking national support has affected the incumbent party’s positioning in key cities across the country. In Greater Montreal, where the party lost the recent LaSalle – Émard – Verdun byelection to the Bloc Québécois, support for the Liberals has declined by 22 points since the beginning of 2022. In the city of Winnipeg, where a loss to the NDP was expected in the historically NDP riding of Elmwood – Transcona, Liberal support has dropped 17 points.”
CSSA members and the rest of the 2.2 million licensed firearms owners are grateful Justin Trudeau’s Liberal government is so incompetent.
We’re also grateful other Canadians are finally realizing that it takes more than wavy hair and pretty socks to run a nation.
A federal election is coming.
Pierre Poilievre’s time is at hand, and so long as we do our part in this next federal election, Trudeau will be gone and with his departure, his gun ban nonsense will go with him.
The federal election can’t come quick enough for licensed Canadian firearms owners and their families.

Ontario CFO Letter...
On August 23, 2024, the Ontario Chief Firearms Office issued a letter to Ontario gun clubs. In the letter, the CFO stated that:
"Other than for public agents, the use of prohibited firearms is strictly prohibited."
The prohibited firearms are those banned in the May 2020 Order-in-Council (OIC)/Bill C-21.
To clarify, the range prohibition DOES NOT extend to Section 12(6) handguns.
| |
| Will Dominic LeBlanc really begin confiscating firearms within 6 weeks, as he claims? | | | |

Should Crown counsel drop these charges against Wendy Washik immediately?
- Absolutely. It was stupid to charge her in the first place. – 59.4%
-
Voting is pretty much a waste of time. – 1.7%
- This case boggles my mind. How can police behave so stupidly and defend it? – 38.9%

Dear Tony,
This is not an easy letter to write to you all at the CSSA. As an avid sport shooter and firearms rights advocate, I have supported the CSSA and other national advocacy groups in their efforts to protect gun owners and our rights. As a Board member of my local gun club I have supported annual donations to you and other organizations in the past as well.
I have applauded many of your efforts to fight the government’s assault on us over the past few years, and I have spearheaded local efforts to get politicians to speak the truth about the causes of and remedies for “gun violence”. Like you, I am appalled that my government has engaged in such divisive strategies, has proliferated lies and misinformation, and has crippled a sport I love, perhaps irrevocably, and harmed many in our shooting sports community.
But, the increasingly hostile commentaries and member letters in your newsletters, I believe, have only further fuelled the divisions in our country (and our shooting sports community) and have done little to appeal to anyone but staunch Conservative supporters. I am not one of those. As strongly as I feel about gun rights, I am not a “one issue” voter. There are many issues, in fact, that are just as important to me as my right to own and use a gun. I disagree with many of the positions of the Liberals, but I disagree with all but one position of the Conservatives. I am troubled that in your commentaries you seem to assume that all CSSA members must identify as Conservatives. I certainly don’t…and, across this country, I can’t be alone. For a long time now, I have not felt that there is a space for my voice in your organization.
Also, as a Board member of a “society” that is pledged to be non-political, and welcomes gun owners of all political persuasions, I don’t believe we should be supporting any highly politicized organization that is advocating for the election of a particular party and candidate. I will be raising this issue with our Board as decisions are being made about donations for the coming year. There are lots of other opportunities for individuals in our communities to support the party and candidates of their choice. I was hoping that the CSSA and other similar organizations in Canada would have been able to find a middle ground and to fairly represent, and to invite, the diverse views of the shooting sports public. Sadly, I have not found this to be the case. In fact, I believe you have strayed well outside the bounds of your mission statement as listed in “Promoting Responsible Firearm Use and Advocacy”!
So…I will not be renewing my membership this year. With the probable election of a Conservative majority, I can only hope you will be just as fierce in holding them to their promises. I may resume my membership after the election, but I will await to see how you support ALL of us in the shooting sports community going forward.
Sincerely,
Joe S.
I'm sorry you feel that way, Joe. Our mission – to Preserve, Protect and Promote the lawful use of firearms in Canada – has been tied to the federal political parties. This was not of our choosing, but it is our reality. We understand that most Canadians are not one-issue voters, but the CSSA is and we vote in favour of firearms ownership. In Canada, the Liberals and their constant attacks on our community has drawn the rings around the target. And of the major parties, the Conservative Party under Pierre Poilievre is the only realistic choice to vote for.

Hello,
In regard to the latest poll question, I believe that befitting the seriousness of the issue there should have been one more option to pick from. IMHO there should have been an “all of the above” possibility.
Proof positive as to what happens when you put one of the inmates in charge of the asylum. I sometimes wonder if there is anything left worth saving in this country or have we already gone past the point of no return.

I fully support defunding the police if this is the new trend we seem to be facing, from defending corrupt and illegal requests from the government during the truckers convoy, to their inability to protect themselves (RCMP) or our country from Chinese espionage, or this last ridiculous fiasco, that Constable should be immediately fired! Our Police have lost their purpose, “To protect and serve” - that’s the public, not a corrupt PM and his criminal caucus! It’s sickening! Let’s defund them and start over!
While we have no problem calling out the occasional issues around Canada's policing, we must always remember that the vast, vast majority of Canadian police officers serve the public with honour and distinction. We support our cops.
