The federal government and Canada’s firearm industry are miles apart on what they estimate the cost will be to buyback thousands of semi-automatic rifles the Liberals banned last year.
An inquiry by the Parliamentary Budget Office (PBO), at the request of Conservative MP Glen Motz, reported cost estimates ranging from $158 million to $756 million by a major firearm lobby, the Canadian Sporting Arms and Ammunition Association. Government cost estimates ranged from a low of $47 million up to a high of $225 million.

Explaining the many negative impacts of the Trudeau liberal policies of the past 5 ½ years has been a full-time challenge. However, the unmitigated disaster of the COVID-19 vaccination rollout – witnessed by all – has revealed that this and so many other Liberal policy initiatives are nothing more than social experiments failing Canadians.
This government’s mismanagement of the pandemic from the outset, beginning with the Health Minister telling Canadians the risk of the virus was low, masks unnecessary and that border closures wouldn’t stop the spread, is well documented. By ignoring the advice of global scientific experts during those early days, COVID hit Canada hard. The loss of lives, a decimated economy and broad unemployment are testament that ‘doing it the Liberal way’ was a colossal failure.
