For years, Canada’s sport shooters, hunters, and rural communities have watched Liberal governments pile on restrictions — making it harder for honest Canadians to exercise their rights, enjoy their heritage, and pass on traditions. Now, under Mark Carney, the double standard is more obvious than ever.
While responsible Canadians face more bans, stricter licensing, and endless red tape just to own a hunting rifle or participate in competitive shooting, the Carney Liberals are opening a new immigration fast lane — not for the doctors, nurses, or engineers we keep hearing about, but for foreign military recruits.
That’s right: If you’re a trained soldier from another country — maybe a weapons specialist, a foreign pilot, or a military doctor — the Liberals want to hand you a job offer, give you permanent residency, and rush you into our armed forces. All while making life harder for Canadians who’ve followed every rule, paid every fee, and done nothing wrong.
The Hypocrisy is Stunning
Mark Carney’s team says this is about “national security” and “strengthening the military.” But here’s the truth: their own policies have gutted recruitment, slashed training budgets, and driven down morale in the Canadian Armed Forces. Instead of investing in Canadians, inspiring young people to serve, or supporting veterans, they’re outsourcing defence to foreign militaries.
And while everyday Canadians are being told their hunting rifles and competition pistols are too dangerous, foreign soldiers with advanced weapons training are being fast-tracked through security checks and handed sensitive roles. If you’re a Canadian sport shooter, you’re treated like a criminal; if you’re a foreign military recruit, you get a red carpet.
Is This Really About Safety? Or Is It About Control?
The Carney Liberals claim they’re making Canada safer. But if safety is the goal, why are they so eager to import foreign-trained shooters — people whose backgrounds and allegiances can never be fully known? Who will truly be accountable if something goes wrong?
And if we’re so desperate for skilled recruits, why not start by valuing and empowering Canadians? Why not support cadet programs, fund community shooting sports, and make military service an honourable, attainable career for our own young people?
Punishing the Law-Abiding, Rewarding Outsiders
This policy is just the latest example of an Ottawa elite that’s out of touch with ordinary Canadians. Rural families, Indigenous hunters, sport shooters, and veterans are all paying the price. The message from the Carney Liberals is clear: “We don’t trust you with your own traditions, but we trust foreign militaries with our national defence.”
How long will Canadians let this stand?
It’s Time to Stand Up
If you care about Canadian sovereignty, public safety, and the rights of responsible citizens, now’s the time to speak out. Tell Mark Carney and his Liberal government: stop punishing Canadian gun owners, stop outsourcing our security, and start investing in Canada’s own people.
Our rights, our safety, our country — let’s defend them together.

It looks like foreign lobby got hold on the reign of powers. And it is very much possible that the ruling “elite” to be compromised as it was proven by the scandal with Chinese infiltration AND, China police stations in Canada. After all we are all witnesses that the Canadian tradition is the thing which is under attack here.
Your simple life, the life which you had grown into, which you practice every single day and which has helped you advance in life, is thing which is under attack. Your beliefs, your relations with people around you, all that is non compliant with brand new order.
Solution is very simple. There should be great change how the politics is conducted in Ottawa. The parliamentary sessions are circus, our representatives are clowns, and most of the people are just spectators clapping like seals for every sardine thrown to them, and institutions which are supposed to protect Canadians are selling us to a highest bidder.
What can we do? What changes can be enacted into our political system so this type of behavior will not repeat ever again?
I would say following:
– Ban all representatives who hold 2 or more citizenships to hold any office. Because you can never be certain where loyalties lay.
– Ban all employment into any office to anyone who is not 3rd generation Canadian. It’s time people who have investment into the country to take reigns.
– Limit all elected offices reimbursement to 2000$ a month. It is service to the nation, not a career. I’m tired to see anyone who has room temperature intelligence make rules.
There are few more common sense policies which can be implemented, but Conservatives conserve nothing, and Liberals, NDP and Greens have gone over the rails into far wide space.

An article published on 20 December, 2025 in the Toronto Sun by Robert Smol, a former Canadian Army Reservist, makes for interesting reading considering his unique perspective on the subject of Canada’s readiness for a potential war.
He takes issue with the logic behind using civil servants as a “citizen militia” as proposed by chief of Defence Staff Gen. Jennie Carignan. This group of happy minstrels would come together as a cohesive fighting force with, get this, one week’s training in the military arts!
Mr. Smol goes on to outline all that is wrong with this concept and that the object of this exercise is to placate the United States with respect to our NATO commitments.
He takes the stance that: “It is a huge stretch to assume that even the core skill sets, like learning how to handle, load, unload and shoot all the basic weapons safely, rank and organization of the military, first aid, and CBRN (Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear) defence can be learned to any combat-capable level in that time frame… Especially when we should be trying to inculcate what, at least most of us older veterans think, is the most important military attribute of all. That would be confidence, teamwork, leadership, unit cohesion and discipline”.
Notwithstanding the above it is a stretch to consider how many of our civil servants would be available at any one time to even train unless, of course, they get laid off. How many are on sick leave; maternity leave; secondment to other departments; off on training assignments; on regular vacation and, yes, working from home on any given day and; what about day care? Hell, they don’t even want to go to the office let alone go to war!
If Canada is in such dire need of military personnel then perhaps it should consider what is done in most countries around the world, even in the United States. Should we sub-contract our forces to the private sector? How many contractors were utilized in such conflicts as Iraq and Afghanistan? And how did that go, by the way? Even the Russians used both contractors such as the Wagner Group and incarcerated prisoners to serve in their military schemes, unsuccessfully I might add, in attacking the Ukraine.
Here in Canada, when it came time for the Liberals to put together their plan to ban certain firearms, the then Minister of Public Safety, Bill Blair, puffed up his chest and stated that they looked to other jurisdictions for ideas. What he didn’t say, of course, was that he was only going to cherry-pick the ones that supported his ideas.
Well folks, perhaps Mr. Smol is correct and our politicians and military visionaries might want to take a look at other jurisdictions with respect to preparing for potential future military action.
A prime example would be Finland which (from their web site) takes: “an all-society or comprehensive security model emphasizing the importance of a well prepared citizenry for national defence. Shooting is widely considered a basic skill essential for national defence, much like any other popular sport”. In trying to achieve this goal the Finish government is attempting to increase the number of ranges to 1,000 by the year 2030.
Then there is Canada. No country has tried harder to completely decimate its national defence capabilities than this country, under our liberal politicians, over the past several decades. This includes all parties, regardless of their political stripes. I don’t have to explain to the reader how our government has used underhanded and undemocratic means to attempt to destroy the shooting sports here in Canada over the last ten years or so as well.
When the time comes and the need for a well trained armed forces response may be needed, are our civil servants going to be required to turn off the coffee maker, put down the morning paper and grab a ride to their local militia mustering location to see if anyone has any uniforms or weapons for them to sign out for duty, or do they buy their own?
But then, there is always conscription, which as I understand it, didn’t go too well during the last World War here in wokeville.

why would anyone join the forces? you train with automatic weapons and heavy weaponry and when you retire and decide you would like to own a handgun to take to the range the fools in Ottawa say “no way buddy you simply cant be trusted!!!
