Canadians woke up this month to their government rolling out a nationwide “Assault-Style Firearms Compensation Program” that will force lawful owners to choose between giving up perfectly legal property or facing criminal penalties later this year. The program’s January 17 announcement makes clear declarations must be filed by March 31 and that prohibited firearms must be surrendered or permanently deactivated by October 30, 2026 — a thinly veiled buyback dressed up as public safety. This is not about hunting or sport; it is classic government overreach that treats law-abiding citizens like the suspect class instead of protecting their rights.
While Ottawa seizes guns, Prime Minister Carney has been busy courting strategic partners overseas and making trade decisions that have left ordinary Canadians wondering who is actually minding the economy. The same leader who peddles partnerships with Beijing and shutters domestic policy debates gets to lecture citizens about public safety while shrugging off the economic pain felt by working families. It is rich to see elites prioritize virtue-signaling geopolitics and confiscatory programs while the people paying the bills get lectured on sacrifice.
Back home, the so-called guardians of the public square are imploding before our eyes as legacy outlets admit defeat and slash newsrooms — the Washington Post’s recent mass layoffs are a biblical-level surrender of the Fourth Estate. Hundreds of journalists gone, foreign bureaus shuttered and entire desks vanished prove that the old media’s priesthood was sustained more by prestige than by sustainable service to truth. Conservatives should not mourn the silencing of left-wing megaphones; we should seize the moment to champion real accountability journalism that serves citizens rather than the Democrat echo chamber.
Senator Eric Schmitt’s confrontation of a George Soros–funded witness this week showed Republicans are finally willing to call out the activist networks that hide behind grant money and talking points. He pressed the witness on how accusations of “racism” are weaponized to shield fraud and soft-on-crime policies, and laid out tough legislation to denaturalize those who commit aggravated fraud — a common-sense response to a real problem. This is the kind of blunt, no-nonsense leadership Americans elected to restore order and respect for the rule of law.
Meanwhile, Minneapolis has become Exhibit A for what happens when soft-on-crime politics meet federal heavy-handedness: ICE surges, protests, tragic shootings and lawsuits have turned daily life into a battleground. Local leaders are right to demand accountability, but they also deserve credit for exposing how chaotic enforcement and bureaucratic missteps devastate commerce and safety alike. Conservatives who care about communities should use these crises to push for common-sense law enforcement, secure borders, and an end to performative policies that reward lawlessness.
The lesson for patriots is clear: whether it is Ottawa taking aim at private arms or elite newsrooms collapsing under their own hypocrisy, power always seeks to consolidate itself at the expense of the people. We must back leaders who defend property, enforce the law fairly, and hold media and institutions accountable, not coddle them. Stand with the hardworking Americans who believe in liberty, common sense, and a journalism that tells the truth instead of manufacturing consent.
