„It was a success, you just experienced it differently“.
25 guns were turned in. In Canada, each gun has killed between 0-14 people, taking Poly as the upper limit. So let’s say an average of 7 people per gun. So 25*7=175 lives saved.
I’m going to get hired as a Liberal consultant any day now.
Im thinking of dropping my entire career choices and just becoming a cabinet minister or consultant because you don’t need to actually have any experience from what I can tell. Anyone else down? Let’s start the consultants party of Canada
with current crime rate. I will keep mine and buy second one. I will take my changes in front of judge then in front of burglar
This guy is such an incompetent knob. Didn’t even know what an RPAL was during a house question period.
Why is this the hill they want to die on? It’s universally panned lmao. The expense for a program that does nothing but destroy shooting sports in Canada and hurt small businesses and does nothing for crime all to appease one MP. It’s unreal. Seems there is no cost too high for this one. Legal owners are not the issue and never were. Not sure how else to say it. Legal owners are vetted, run through CPIC daily, and took a course. Illegal owners aren’t restricted by magazine limits, firearm choices, or ability. And they are not getting their firearms from legal owners. They’re getting them from the States. And when they’re caught committing a crime with a firearm they’re released on bail.
This fucking clown.
Of course he will defend it, have you ever heard any politician, regardless of political stripe, admit they were in error.

„As an overall pilot, I believe it is successful,“ said Anandasangaree during a news conference on Monday.

„Don’t, don’t try, don’t ask me to explain the logic to you on this,“
Airtight logic lol
They won’t stop. They’re scared of how people will react once they finish running this country into the ground. Left or right, it doesn’t matter, we’re fucked without systemic changes. If people can’t see this, then their head is all the way up their ass.
We need to unite instead of being divided by this 5th generation war we’re in. Every day, we drift further apart. It’s literally happening right infront of our eyes.
I challenge anyone to question this reality and logic.
This country and its democracy is dead if people don’t educate themselves, especially with all the newcomers who have no idea what’s actually going on.
We’re already at war and it’s actually scary how blinded people are. Left or right, we’re all being played. Divide and conquer has worked for thousands of years, with social media and AI we don’t stand a chance.
If you’re trying to figure out of this is left or right take, it’s already got you by the balls.
These are more than likely people that have inherited firearms and are not enthusiasts. I can’t see an active firearms enthusiast voluntarily bringing their firearms in to only receive a fraction of what it’s worth.
This is disgraceful, the pilot program failed, when a pilot fails, its supposed to be cancelled. Gary even admitted that the program is flawed in the leaked phone call, yet he’s still pushing this bullshit.
There’s over 10 million non restricted firearms, yet the government is only aware of 125k restricted firearms that were prohibited. There could be over a million previously non restricted, now prohibited firearms in civilian hands. Furthermore these bans went after historical military firearms that only collectors buy, elephant guns used on safari and other niche firearms, not firearms that are used by gangs…
Everyone please email [Gary](https://www.ourcommons.ca/members/en/gary-anandasangaree(89449)#contact) and [Carney](https://www.ourcommons.ca/members/en/mark-carney(28286)#contact) about this failure of a gun confiscation scheme. I am an Olympic shooter, this is killing shooting sports in Canada, and the firearms industry as a whole.
Oh so NOW he’s defending it…
The program could have netted half a gun stalk and this dumbass would still be calling it a success.
I wouldn’t call this stupid gun buyback „tyranny“, but it’s definitely cheap, political vote-buying that I hope blows up right in the LPC’s face. Carney is a moron for keeping this part of Trudeau’s legacy, of all things
End this stupid program. Go after the smugglers better tax dollars at use
I love how they keep putting “Chose to take part.” up next to “or face legal consequences” as and act like it’s a voluntary thing all gun owners want.
Pricks
The article says that Cape Breton will be participating in the buy back, but last I heard the city council voted down the proposal
People actually think this program was a failure.. It’s a sham program to grift money to consultants then friends and family, and it provides a red herring for the public. They will probably eventually phase this out and gas light the voters and convince us that we need a smiliar program in like a year.
I feel like this guy’s days as a Minister might be numbered. Defending a failed program seems like the sort of thing you do when there are plans to replace you, and the government needs a reason.
I’m glad to see that there’s at least 1 issue both sides can agree on.
As a legal gun owner I feel like we have a chance with this one
You know why this is right? Why the Liberal party is defending it to it’s core?
Nathalie Provost is gun control advocate who has served as a member of Parliament for Châteauguay—Les Jardins-de-Napierville since 2025. She is a member of the Liberal Party and survived being shot during the 1989 École Polytechnique massacre.
She holds a tremendous amount of sway for Quebec Liberals, also for Liberals who believe in gun control.
If the whole gun safety gets scrapped there is a good chance she will leave, along with several other Liberal MP’s, thus causing the Liberal reach for a majority to go right into the dumpster.
It’s not a conspiracy or a stretch, it’s the party in power wanting more power and will step over tax payers to get it. They will do anything this side of the law (or maybe not, who knows?) to maintain power.
This is the same guy who got caught on tape admitting the buyback program wouldn’t work and was only in place to appease QC Liberal supporters.
The Liberals will die on this hill for some reason.
So who is making money from this would be my next question. Cause the amount of guns brought in does not equal money out. Why is it being fought so hard to do then?
They still have 6 years of unpaid firearm storage fees for the use of my safe to get caught up on, no I’m not kidding.
This is the idiot that didn’t even know about firearms safety and PAL or RPAL. Literally an idiot.
I wonder who among his family/friends are responsible for facilitating this program. My guess is someone close to him is on the take.
Y’know, as concerned as I am about the US intimating at taking over the country, knowing that this is the caliber of person that will be arrested and carted off provides a faint silver lining.
The pilot program was indeed successful.
It successfully showed that it’s a waste of money and should be cancelled.
Canada already had one of the best gun control program prior to 2020. It involves education, licensing, and daily background checks. Sure it had some inconsistencies (name-bans, etc.) and could be improved, but it wasn’t far off from an overall excellent system.
Then the LPC proceeds to take the aforementioned name-ban inconsistency and ran with it by expanding the said list, instead of creating a simplified, consistent classification system.
Unreal the gas lighting “it’s not about quantitative results” so what the hell is it Gary!! Just burning our tax dollars while doing nothing about the real criminals.
Also why are we disarming Canadians WHEN THE USA IS ACTIVELY THREATENING TO TAKE OVER CANADA!
Lpc logic for the win 🤦🏽♂️
„Don’t, don’t try, don’t ask me to explain the logic to you on this,“-also Gary…
This guy told his tenant how he really feels about the program.
This guy shouldn’t be in charge of Wendy’s, leave alone leading a department
Whatever Area he’s from, Those people need to go talk to this guy and feel ashamed for what the have done
“Just put your car keys by the door so you won’t get hurt”
What a massive waste of resources.
If Quebec is pushing for this so hard, why won’t they do a study on long term effects on crime rates in Quebec? Implement the program over there and see what happens over the next five years.
To be fairrrrr. I don’t own any guns, but if I did, this wouldn’t seem to me like the moment in time to get rid of them.
If your a liberal voter and truly against this waste of tax payer dollars please write to your local member of Parliament and let them know to scrap the program and allow owners to use their property again.
Isn’t this the same minister that was on video saying that it was a waste of tax money?!
I dont think you can use Low to describe it.
Try humiliating
Did you see how they treated those who chose to comply? Get out of the vehicle and need to stand away from it like they are picking up radioactive waste, not paying out at the time and site of theft.(collection.)
If the public safety minister wants my ar they can buy it like everyone else who’s bought a gun off me,in my living room over tea. Cash or emt before you take it with you.
Note my asking price is $6,000,000 if I have to pay any taxes on it. And I know what I got so no lowballs will be given consideration.
Well mr Antiaggee, I am unconvinced that the gun buy back is the most important public safety issue this country is facing.
Buy back some bogus commercial driving licenses or build more jails with this money.
It cost how much money for the program to buy back how many firearms? And how much did each legal firearm owner receive? Math isn’t hard. No wonder the program failed.
Fuck the Liberals just want to die on that hill, let it go there are more important things to worry about.
I don’t get it. They picked what seems like the most unqualified individual, to defend blowing preposterous amounts of money on what seems like a moot effort, with low turnout, and failure to defend the programs validity every step of the way.
Given that gun crimes stem from *illegal* gun owners and not *legally registered and vetted* owners, would it not of made more sense to use the same resources to increase policing and CBSA budgets via transfer payments? Why is this the hill they want to die on?
Who wants to give up their guns with what’s going on in the US?
