The Premier of Alberta, Danielle Smith, has stated that her province will not participate in the gun grab being pushed by Liberal Party Prime Minister John Carney. Rebel News reports:
Alberta Premier Danielle Smith says her province won’t participate in the Liberal government’s gun buyback program and that its municipal police forces will focus on “real” policing priorities.
“Alberta’s government will not be cooperating with this gun grab against law-abiding firearms owners,” Smith wrote on social media. “We expect law enforcement to focus their time and resources on real provincial policing priorities, like policing violent criminals, not hunters and sport-shooters.”
This follows 2024 remarks to Rebel News, where Smith refused compliance under then-Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
The Liberal government has since begun its gun “buyback” program with a six-week pilot in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, where local police are participating. Winnipeg police have also signed up for later efforts.
Canada’s Public Safety Minister, Gary Anandasangaree, recently faced withering questioning from the press about the gun grab program:
Canada is forcing all Canadians to hand in their guns. They have one year to get compensation by handing in their guns.
Starting in October 2026 it will become criminal to own a gun.

Anandasangaree is under fire for recently leaked audio in which he can be heard badmouthing the program as a promise to Quebec.
