Are Canadians About To Lose The SKS? Mark Carney Just Signaled Another Gun Ban Is Coming

The Montreal shooting on Monday has already become a political weapon.

Before the investigation is even complete, the Mayor of Montreal is calling for tougher gun control and PolySeSouvient is demanding an SKS ban. And today Mark Carney signaled that new gun legislation is coming.

The SKS is Canada's most popular rifle. Between 600,000 and 1 million are currently in the hands of legal Canadian gun owners. It is non-restricted. It is widely used by Indigenous communities across the country for its affordability and reliability in harsh northern climates.

And the government wants to ban it.

We have seen this before. After the 2020 Nova Scotia shooting, the Liberals used an Order in Council to push through sweeping gun bans overnight with no parliamentary debate, no vote, and no due process for legal gun owners. Are we are about to see the same playbook used again?

Tonight I am joined by independent journalist Jason Lavigne for another episode of East Meets West to break down what Mark Carney actually said today, what an expert-led firearms classification system controlled by the RCMP would actually mean, what happens to the current gun amnesty and the CCFR Supreme Court challenge if new legislation moves forward, and why legal gun owners keep paying the price for crimes they did not commit.

We are also joined at 7:30PM by Jeff Evely — the man who was fined $28,872.50 for taking a walk in the woods of Nova Scotia — to speak about the outcome of his case.

Bill C-34 is being sold as a bill designed to protect children online.

But is that all it does?

Tonight, Professor Bruce Pardy joins me to break down Bill C-34, the Digital Safety Act and the proposed Digital Safety Commission of Canada.

Together, we'll examine what the bill actually says, how it could be implemented, and whether Canadians should be paying closer attention to the powers it creates.

We'll discuss:

• What qualifies as "harmful content"

• The difference between the Digital Safety Act and the Digital Safety Commission of Canada Act

• Age verification requirements for online platforms

• Data retention requirements

• Access to electronic data

• The powers of the proposed Digital Safety Commission

• Freedom of expression, privacy rights and government oversight

• What this bill could mean for Canadians, online platforms and public discourse

Is Bill C-34 simply about protecting children online?

Or does it create something much bigger?

Join us live and decide for yourself.

Bruce Pardy is a Professor of Law at Queen's University, Executive Director of Rights Probe, Senior Fellow at the Frontier Centre for Public Policy, and one of Canada's leading voices on constitutional law, civil liberties and administrative governance.

Is the 2026 Long Form Census unconstitutional?

Tonight on The Political Orphans, Nico Lagan is joined by Charter advocate and Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms lawyer Hatim Kheir to break down the legal challenge against the 2026 long-form census.

Canadians are being told that the census is mandatory under the Statistics Act. But how far does that authority actually go?

Can the government compel Canadians, under threat of penalty, to answer deeply personal questions about their household, identity, health, work, housing, and private life?

In this episode, we discuss:

• Whether Canadians are legally required to complete the census

• The difference between the short-form and long-form census

• Whether Canadians can request the short form instead

• What penalties exist under the Statistics Act

• Whether the long-form census violates Charter privacy protections

• Whether selecting only 25% of households for the long form raises legal questions

• What authority Statistics Canada enumerators actually have

• Where census authority ends and private property rights begin

• The constitutional challenge launched against parts of the 2026 long-form census

This is not about refusing basic population counting.

This is about asking whether mandatory census power gives the government unlimited authority to collect deeply personal information from Canadians.

The Liberals placed a guillotine motion on Bill C-22 this week.30 minutes. That is all the time Parliament gets to review a bill that gives the government access to every Canadian's metadata for up to one year.And metadata is not defined anywhere in the bill. Not once.That is not an accident.Today metadata means transmission data — who you contacted, when, from where. Tomorrow it can mean everything inside the envelope. Every message. Every file. Every piece of content transiting through any Canadian network.By rushing this bill through before summer break, they never have to define it.And while everyone was watching the social media ban debate — including me — Bill C-8 became law yesterday. The bill that gives the government the power to cut anyone off the internet is already law.By the end of this summer Bill C-8, Bill C-9 and Bill C-22 could all be law.The only bill left will be C-34.They got us.💲This show is 100% listener funded.

In December 2025 Australia became the first country in the world to ban social media for kids under 16.

Since then Indonesia and Malaysia have fully implemented nationwide bans. The UK, France and Turkey have passed legislation. And Canada, Denmark, Greece, Norway, Austria, Poland, Germany, Belgium, Slovenia, Portugal, Spain and Italy are all debating or tabling the same proposals.

Every government. Same platforms. Same justification. Same language. Same polling numbers around 70% public support.

Liberal and conservative parties in agreement everywhere.

And they all want you to verify your identity with a government ID just to log in.

Since when does the left and right agree on anything?

The social media ban is not about your children.

It is about attaching every citizen's identity to their online presence.

And Canadians will welcome it…

The Liberal government has extended the amnesty period for owners of banned assault-style firearms.

Originally set to expire on October 30, 2026, the amnesty will now remain in place until 90 days after the Supreme Court of Canada renders its decision on the legal challenge against the 2020 prohibitions.

Tonight at 7PM EST I am joined by CCFR VP of Public Relations Tracey Wilson to break down what this extension means for Canadian gun owners and what comes next in the legal fight against the Liberal firearm ban.

If you own a firearm or care about your rights as a Canadian — you do not want to miss this episode.

Social Media Bans: Are Conservatives And Liberals Both In Favor? | The Answer Might Surprise You!Both parties claim to defend your rights online.Both parties claim to defend your rights online.But when you look at what Pierre Poilievre is actually saying — better tools to monitor online predators, openness to social media bans — and what multiple Conservative MPs have said on the record, the picture looks very different from what they want you to believe.Tonight I break down the Conservative Party's actual position on social media bans, compare it to the Liberal Digital Safety Act, and ask the question nobody in Parliament seems willing to answer.If both parties are really concerned about protecting children online — why is nobody talking about banning p0rn?💲This show is 100% listener funded.

Canada just announced the Digital Safety Act — a social media ban for anyone under 16.

Most Canadians think this is about protecting children. It isn't.

To enforce a social media ban, every single Canadian will have to prove their age by attaching government-approved ID to their social media accounts. That's not child protection. That's a digital ID.

And once you're verified on one platform, that verification follows you everywhere — linking every account you own under your real identity.

But it gets worse.

This isn't a standalone policy. This is the missing piece that connects Bill C-9, C-22 and C-8 into a complete surveillance and censorship system.

Bill C-9 defines what you can and cannot say online. Bill C-22 forces platforms to save your data for up to one year. Bill C-8 gives the government the power to cut you off the internet entirely.

The digital ID created by this social media ban is what connects all three.

And they're selling it to you as child protection.

Don't be fooled. All these bills are interconnected — and this is the last piece of the puzzle.
