“The Yukon government has formally stated it will not participate in the federal mandatory firearms buyback program, placing the territory among a growing group of provincial and territorial governments resisting Ottawa’s gun control policies.
The announcement came during the recent Speech from the Throne, delivered by Commissioner Angélique Bernard, which outlined the government’s priorities for the upcoming legislative session.
In the address, Bernard affirmed the government intends to “support the rights of legal gun owners in this territory,” signalling continued recognition of vetted firearms ownership, hunting traditions, and cultural rights.
The speech also referenced the importance of hunting for First Nations communities and rural Yukoners, noting firearms are widely used for subsistence harvesting, protection from wildlife and food security in remote regions.
The decision not to participate in the buyback aligns Yukon with Alberta, Saskatchewan and Ontario, all of which have publicly declined to assist in the federal initiative.”
That’s precisely what will happen here if Dems ever get control again and try the same thing (if it even survives SCOTUS). Most states will tell DC to kick rocks. Canada is desperately trying to disarm its populace so it will be easier to control the population. An armed populace can’t be controlled so easily.
