Trudeau's Gun Grab: More Jurisdictions Tell Feds, You're On Your Own :: 11/08/2022

Earlier, your NRA-ILA reported that Canada’s three prairie provinces have opposed the federal government’s “assault weapon” confiscation law and refused to allow provincial resources to be used in enforcing the gun ban and so-called “buyback” of legally acquired firearms.

By the end of September, officials representing the Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba governments had notified Marco Mendicino, the federal minister responsible for implementing Prime Minister Trudeau’s gun ban and confiscation law, that they would not authorize the use of provincially-funded resources to implement the program within their jurisdictions.

Since then, officials in Yukon and New Brunswick have likewise expressed the view that the federal gun grab should not be piggybacked on provincial resources.
