00:00:00.000 This is great news for legal gun owners in Canada.
00:00:03.280 What you're watching right now is the gun grab
00:00:05.940 actually starting to collapse in real time.
00:00:09.280 And here's the part the liberals didn't want you to notice.
00:00:12.440 This thing was supposed to be locked in,
00:00:14.940 like a done deal, finished, no pushback from the public.
00:00:19.620 But now it's actually being challenged
00:00:22.840 at the highest level in the country.
00:00:25.800 You see, the challenge to this Trudeau era gun ban
00:00:29.340 and its confiscation program, is now headed to the Supreme Court.
00:00:34.240 And let's be real for a second.
00:00:35.920 A lot of people, myself included, didn't think it would even make it there.
00:00:40.440 Like, it wouldn't even be heard.
00:00:42.400 Because in Canada, of course, the courts are in favor of the liberal government.
00:00:47.640 So the expectation was pretty simple.
00:00:49.640 Like, it's not even going to make it to court.
00:00:51.840 But it is.
00:00:53.200 And that alone is a massive crack in the system.
00:00:57.040 We will oppose any policy that undermines law-abiding firearm owners and does not combat the criminal use of firearms.
00:01:03.620 Using its Sovereignty Act, the Alberta government says it will direct all provincial entities, including municipal police forces, not to implement the federal gun seizure program.
00:01:12.780 Crown prosecutors will also be given guidance not to pursue charges against gun owners who fail to surrender their banned guns or who use their firearms to protect themselves, their families or homes.
00:01:23.180 And let's not forget, like seriously, let's not forget what this actually was.
00:01:28.580 Over 2,500 firearms banned overnight.
00:01:33.340 No criminal weapons, no black market handguns, legal rifles, hunting rifles, shotguns owned by licensed, trained Canadians.
00:01:44.640 They targeted those people.
00:01:46.560 While at the same time, criminals are still out there using illegal handguns like they always have.
00:01:53.180 Actually, more than ever. So people started asking, who is this really about? And this is where things start to shift. Because Canadians didn't just sit back, they pushed back. You've got thousands of people showing up, even in Quebec. Yeah, Quebec, coming out against confiscation.
00:02:16.640 That's not small. That's definitely not nothing. That right there is momentum. And it's not just regular people. You've got police leadership, entire departments, provinces like Alberta, Saskatchewan, Ontario, even Manitoba, and others saying, we're not on board with this and we're not enforcing it. And then this happened. And this is where it gets really interesting.
00:02:40.640 interesting. On a quiet suburban street in Vaughan, Ontario, three masked men are seen breaking into
00:02:49.900 a home, later fleeing after police say the homeowner fired his gun in self-defense. You know,
00:02:58.320 neighbors scared and me scared. A suspect now identified as Treston Casanova-Allman was dropped
00:03:05.360 off at a hospital with a gunshot wound and faces several charges including robbery with a firearm
00:03:11.380 but no charges were laid against the homeowner. Just through the investigation and through that
00:03:16.140 evidence we were able to determine that no charges would be laid against him. Ontario Premier Doug
00:03:22.640 Ford applauded that assessment suggesting the homeowner could have gone further. Congratulations
00:03:28.300 for shooting this guy should have shot him a couple more times as far as I'm concerned. The 1.00
00:03:32.980 opposition leader raised concerns over the seeming support for violence. For him to be telling people
00:03:39.400 to shoot each other rather than fix him fixing the problems to me it seems like more nonsense.
00:03:48.900 If you break into someone's home. The premier has supported the use of self-defense in the past.
00:03:55.520 Last year a man in Lindsay Ontario was charged with assaulting an alleged intruder who broke
00:04:00.920 into his apartment armed with a crossbow. Those charges were later dropped but the case sparked
00:04:06.820 a national debate about self-defense. It is really refreshing to see police do some actual
00:04:12.340 investigating in a case like this rather than just arresting. This criminal defense lawyer says
00:04:18.060 self-defense is allowed but the force used must be reasonable. It's very simple in Canada despite
00:04:24.980 how complex it can be when it gets to court which is you can use as much force as is necessary
00:04:30.700 to match or respond the threat to you and or a loved one so you've got a homeowner who defends
00:04:38.140 his home shoots an intruder and what happens zero charges none whatsoever and then you've got dog
00:04:46.040 ford premier of ontario publicly backing him think about that for a second this is canada where
00:04:53.720 people have been scared to defend their homes forever because they don't want to be charged
00:04:59.040 but now that conversation is changing in real time you're hearing more about self-defense
00:05:06.060 being able to stand your ground even talk of castle law like they have in the united states
00:05:12.220 it's starting to gain traction here in canada they say after the break-in a resident accessed
00:05:18.440 a legally owned and properly stored firearm and shot at the suspect suspect is recovering
00:05:23.640 in hospital after being shot by a resident during a home invasion in vaughn
00:05:36.200 he's sharing footage of the incident at a home on carville wood circle shortly before one o'clock
00:05:41.640 this morning we say after the break-in a resident accessed a legally owned and properly stored
00:05:47.720 firearm and shot at the suspects who got away in a black pickup truck well not long after a person
00:05:53.320 was dropped off at a hospital with a gunshot wound so when you zoom out for a second this isn't just
00:05:59.320 one thing happening this is pressure from every direction from the courts from the public from
00:06:07.240 provinces and then there's real world consequences that's how this stuff falls apart not all at once
00:06:15.400 but piece by piece with defiance from the public weeks ahead of the federal government's assault
00:06:22.360 style firearms compensation program closing, a door may be opening for gun owners and businesses
00:06:28.520 in Saskatchewan. An amendment to the Saskatchewan Firearms Act will allow for now prohibited firearms
00:06:34.220 to be stored on behalf of the province through a certificate of exemption. You know we are
00:06:39.460 approaching this new prime minister and his government on a case-by-case basis. This would
00:06:43.840 be one of the points where we don't agree. True I don't think the provincial government can force
00:06:48.000 federal government to pay compensation if they don't want to they can definitely say it's uh
00:06:54.560 you know it's uh they're worth this much and we're going to store them and we're going to store them
00:07:00.480 in the individual's home until you pay the compensation which could be indefinitely um
00:07:06.480 first in ottawa uh you know the supreme court agrees to hear challenges to your government's
00:07:10.480 firearm and the colleagues are wondering what's your reaction or concern for what this could mean
00:07:14.960 for the future of government policy? Look the the Supreme Court will be has given leave for a hearing
00:07:24.480 on elements of Bill C-21 and the regulations thereto. So we look forward to defending our
00:07:32.640 position at the Supreme Court. Canada is a rule of law country. We are bound by the decisions of
00:07:39.040 the court and we look forward to robustly defending the government's position which
00:07:44.400 we're very confident will be in our favor so now i've got to ask you is this the beginning of the
00:07:50.960 end for the gone confiscation program here in canada or do they try to double down let me know

00:08:04.380 I hear the train is coming.
00:08:08.400 It's rolling around the bed.
00:08:13.140 And I ain't seen the sunshine.
00:08:17.600 I don't know when.
