Carney doubles down on Trudeau-era gun grab

On today’s episode of The Candice Malcolm Show guest host Kris Sims dives into Ottawa’s gun confiscation plan. The federal Liberals, with Prime Minister Mark Carney now at the helm, are moving ahead with a billion-dollar program to seize lawfully purchased firearms. Sims explains why this isn’t a “buyback” but outright confiscation of private property—punishing hunters, farmers, and sport shooters while doing nothing to target gang-related crime. Joining the show is Rod Giltaca, CEO of the Canadian Coalition for Firearms Rights, who details the staggering costs, the devastating impact on firearms retailers, and how Ottawa has rejected even modest compromise proposals like grandfathering. Also on the program, Toronto Police Association president Clayton Campbell breaks down why frontline officers oppose the scheme. Campbell points out that 90% of crime guns in Toronto come from illegal U.S. smuggling—not law-abiding gun owners—and warns that police resources will be wasted on paperwork instead of tackling gangs and keeping violent repeat offenders behind bars. Kris highlights the lessons from the failed Long Gun Registry, which ballooned from $2 million to $2 billion, and asks why taxpayers should foot the bill for another boondoggle. Both guests stress that Canadians should be alarmed: this is a reckless assault on property rights, public safety, and common sense. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
