The federal government finally launched its confiscation program with a six-week pilot project in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia.

The government aimed to confiscate 200 firearms during the project. It spent more than $150,00 and only collected 25 from 16 different people.

That’s a clear failure.

Ottawa needs to scrap this scheme.

“Taxpayers are getting SOAKED.” A new report shows the massive cost of Ottawa’s bloated bureaucracy. The cost of the federal bureaucracy increased 80% in 10 years. The government added 99,000 bureaucrats in 10 years. The government rubberstamped $1.5 billion in bonuses since 2015. Average compensation per full-time federal bureaucrat is $148,000. There are 146,786 federal employees with a six-figure salary (nearly 40 per cent of the bureaucracy).

The Canadian Taxpayers Federation put up a billboard right out front of Parliament Hill and Carney’s office with this message:

“Scrap the gun ban and confiscation.”

Carney’s gun grab is a huge taxpayer boondoggle and it won’t make Canada safer.

The government is going after law-abiding Canadians instead of going after criminals and illegal guns.
