The Liberal hunting rifle ban is a wrong-headed billion dollar boondoggle that targets law-abiding Canadians.

Hunters, sport shooters, farmers, and police officers rallied in Cambridge to fight back against it.

Our Conservative team will fight to scrap this gun grab and instead use that money stop illegal guns at the border, lock up gangsters and gun smugglers, and make our streets safe: https://t.co/owAKYESn1w

And we wonder why the public doesn’t understand the Court very well? 🙄 …

how about:

“Supreme Court unanimously holds that states can’t sue companies in state court for fulfilling WWII contracts with federal government.”

Not as sexy but I guess that’s the point!

[Pierre Poilievre @PierrePoilievre]

The Carney Liberals did not win a majority government through a general election or today's by-elections. Instead, it was won through backroom deals with politicians who betrayed the people who voted for them.

While the Prime Minister spent the year on this cynical power grab, he has doubled the deficit, and given Canada the worst grocery prices and housing costs in the G7.

Liberals expect Canadians to give up, get complacent and go away, so Carney can have total power without any accountability. That will not happen. Our country and its people are worth fighting for.

We will continue to fight for people to afford homes, food and fuel.

We will continue to fight for safety in our streets.

We will continue to fight for our resource workers and soldiers.

I will continue to lead that fight every day and in every way in Parliament, across the country and in the next election, when Canadians will reclaim the country we know and love.

“Iranian ports” isn’t the same as “Strait of Hormuz,” right?

This is so good.

You can, at the same time, be glad that the regime could be going down-and that we’re the ones causing it–while also thinking Trump should’ve gone to Congress first.

"Out of nowhere?"

No.

This is ten years of Liberal tax-and-spend, block-and-control economics. Policies Mark Carney won’t change.

We know what to do. Unblock our resources. Unleash free enterprise. Unburden our taxpayers.

The tariff decision is yet another ruling adding to the evidence that the Supreme Court is not the Democrats’ caricature of a blindly or rabidly partisan majority of servile conservative justices.

[Pierre Poilievre @PierrePoilievre]

Liberals doubled down on their expensive gun grab that seizes the property of licensed, law-abiding Canadians while doing nothing to stop the real source of gun crime:

Criminals who continue to ignore the law and smuggle firearms across our borders.

Conservatives will scrap this waste, lock up gun criminals and gangsters, and stop the smuggling of illegal firearms at the border: https://t.co/owAKYESn1w

[National Post @nationalpost]

FIRST READING: A cascade of police agencies is telling Ottawa they're ignoring the gun buyback

It's an extremely rare example of law enforcement refusing en masse to comply with a federal mandate

I really liked McDermott and was quite sad that he was let go. However, seeing Sam Darnold and Drake Maye going to a Super Bowl before Josh Allen makes me think we did need to make a move at HC. #BillsMafia

[Paul Franks @WPaul]

Winning with 10 points against the Broncos and 16 against the Chargers says more about their offenses than it does about his play.

[Robert Griffin III @RGIII]

Drake Maye faced the toughest path to the Super Bowl in NFL Playoff History.

No QB has ever beat 3 Top 5 defenses to get to the Super Bowl.

Until Drake Maye.

Chargers were #5 Defense

Texans were #1 Defense

Broncos were #2 Defense

PUT SOME RESPECT on Drake Maye’s name.

🚨GOA STATEMENT ON MN SHOOTING🚨

We are saddened by the loss of life in Minneapolis, Minnesota earlier today during a federal law-enforcement operation. Because details remain limited and facts are still emerging, it is essential that @theJusticeDept conduct a complete, transparent, and prompt investigation so the public can fully understand what occurred and maintain confidence in the rule of law.

Furthermore, we condemn the untoward comments of @USAttyEssayli. Federal agents are not "highly likely" to be "legally justified" in "shooting" concealed carry licensees who approach while lawfully carrying a firearm. The Second Amendment protects Americans' right to bear arms while protesting—a right the federal government must not infringe upon.

Finally, the Left must stop antagonizing @ICEgov and @CBP agents who are taking criminals off the streets and play a crucial role in protecting communities and upholding the rule of law.

[CCFR/CCDAF @CCFR_CCDAF]

Doug Ford is adding his name to the list of politicians saying the federal government’s gun “buyback” program misses the mark. His comments come one day after the largest police force in the country also said they won’t be participating. https://t.co/VaAgJWdU5a

[CCFR/CCDAF @CCFR_CCDAF]

#BREAKING: New Brunswick police say they won't help Carney government with its gun 'buyback', says @SaintJohnPolice Chief Robert Bruce who heads the NBACP... Asked what happens once amnesty on banned guns ends, he said “We’re not going looking for you.” https://t.co/lsTdPw1TVw

[CCFR/CCDAF @CCFR_CCDAF]

#BREAKING: Northwest Territories Justice Minister, Jay Macdonald, says @GNWT will join Manitoba, Alberta, and Saskatchewan, and will not take part in the federal gun 'buyback.' He also stated that the RCMP will not take part in any confiscation activities. https://t.co/PxZAzY74lq

[Paul Franks @WPaul]

This is a good start @fordnation, thank you. Please don't stop here though.

[Brian Lilley @brianlilley]

It's getting easier to list who supports than who opposes the Carney government's gun "buyback" program.
Doug Ford says the feds are missing the mark and should focus on the bad guys, not the good guys.
