Canadian Govt Prepares to Disarm Civilians

There has never been a positive outcome when the government sets out to disarm the people. Authoritarian states are the inevitable result. Certain semi-automatic weapons were prohibited in March 2025, with a one-year amnesty period for lawful gun owners to surrender their rifles through a buyback program. The government claims the buyback program is completely voluntary “with the expectation they will comply,” according to Public Safety Minister Gary Anandasangaree.

Anandasangaree does not believe the Canadian government is equipped to disarm citizens, as revealed in a leaked audio clip. “I just don’t think municipal police services have the resources to do this,” the minister says. The minister claims a gun lobbyist leaked the audio in which he was speaking in jest. On the audio, the minister admits that gun owners are clearly losing money with a C$400 flat rate compensation for each gun surrendered. The man asks if he would be considered a criminal for refusing to deactivate or surrender his guns. “If the police enforce it, yes,” the minister states.

Anandasangaree admits the program is flawed, but speaking with Mark Carney is a moot point. “We’ve had all these conversations. Like I’ve had for the last four months, it’s been like constant, constant discussions on this to see what’s next, right? And the conclusion is let’s finish this because we committed to it in the campaign,” he reveals, mentioning earlier in the call he is simply following orders.

“No, you’re going to turn me into a criminal Gary, because you know I’m not gonna turn mine in. I’m telling you right now. I refused it,” the associate rebuked, adding, “Well, no, but the police will come to my house at some point, because what’s registered. They know who I am, they know where I live, they know where they are, they’re locked up in my safe, I’m gonna refuse to hand ’em in. They’re gonna come in, rip open my safe, right? Take those firearms and put me in handcuffs.” Gary stated he would bail him out if that happened.

Disgraced former PM Justin Trudeau attempted to implement a buyback program on May 1, 2020, but did not go as far as revoking gun licenses and confiscating guns. The current program is capped at a budget of C$742 million. Money is not the concern here. Canadians have had the right to legally own arms for 243 years, but suddenly the government decided they no longer deserve the right.

Gun confiscation veiled as gun control. A voluntary program will soon become mandatory. Failure to comply will result in criminal charges. Law-abiding citizens are rarely the culprits behind gun crime. The criminals on the streets and in office will still have guns. Anandasangaree admitted that the government has yet to decide what they will do if the majority fail to comply, and after COVID, there’s valid reason to believe that most will cave.

Citibank Backtracks on Gun Policy

US banks were weaponized under the Biden Administration. I reported at length how US banks were required to provide the government with information on anyone suspected of being a domestic terrorist. US intelligence agencies searched through records for terms like “Trump” and “MAGA” to target Americans who they believed may hold “extremist” views. The agencies searched for Americans who purchased religious texts, such as the Bible, and also labeled them extremists. Anyone expressing disdain for the COVID lockdowns, vaccines, open borders, or the deep state was placed on a watchlist. Banks are attempting to change their tone now that there is a new administration.

Law-abiding Americans were punished for exercising their Constitutional right to bear arms. In March 2018, Citibank decided it had the authority to determine what businesses could access their banking services based on their Second Amendment stance. Citibank’s business clients were dropped as clients if they failed to adhere to the bank’s regulations on firearms. Donald Trump accused Citibank, JPMorgan, and others of deliberately discriminating against customers based on political affiliation.

Citibank issued a notice that it would be reversing policy:

“We will update our employee Code of Conduct and our customer-facing Global Financial Access Policy to clearly state that we do not discriminate on the basis of political affiliation in the same way we are clear that we do not discriminate on the basis of other traits such as race and religion. This will codify what we’ve long practiced, and we will continue to conduct trainings to ensure compliance.

We also will no longer have a specific policy as it relates to firearms. Our U.S. Commercial Firearms Policy was implemented in 2018 and pertained to sale of firearms by our retail clients and partners. The policy was intended to promote the adoption of best sales practices as prudent risk management and didn’t address the manufacturing of firearms. Many retailers have been following these best practices, and we hope communities and lawmakers will continue to seek out ways to prevent the tragic consequences of gun violence.”

The banks were caught red-handed discriminating against clients. The documents are clear as day that these institutions were told to search financial records for anyone who could be a potential Trump supporter.

JPMorgan reversed its Code of Conduct back in March 2025 to state that it would protect customers, suppliers, contractors, and employees from discrimination in financial services based on political or religious views. Reporting on whether a person had purchased a religious book is more than intrusive. It is outright discrimination against people who likely hold conservative views.

The government effectively transformed banking institutions into spy agencies, and no one was held accountable. This predatory behavior was certainly not limited to the US, as similar practices were observed in Australia, the UK, Europe, Canada, and other regions. Governments are ready and prepared to silence dissenters by removing them from the financial system. The banks claim they have “opaque” rules that they must adhere to, which cannot always be explained to the public, but this is because the government controls our financial system. The rules can change at any time.
