flag Canada’s gun buyback program, criticized for electoral motives, launches in Cape Breton despite provincial and police opposition.

flag Public Safety Minister Gary Anandasangaree acknowledged making "misguided" remarks in a leaked audio recording where he discussed the federal gun buyback program, revealing it was influenced by electoral pressure from Quebec despite opposition from provinces, police, and gun owners. flag The 20-minute conversation, confirmed authentic by the recording’s source, included promises to cover compensation shortfalls and bail for non-compliance, though Anandasangaree stressed enforcement would not go that far. flag The program, capped at $742 million, launches with a pilot in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, facing resistance from Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Ontario’s police. flag Anandasangaree defended the initiative as a campaign promise to reduce gun crime, emphasizing public safety, while the Prime Minister’s Office declined comment.
