Not sure why folks are down on this. It seems a meaningful improvement to the Canadian Forces and will employ Canadians during these trying times. As for everyone shitting on CZ there is much more evidence they will have nothing to do with the buyback than the rumours thy will. The company has publicly denied any involvement and everyone I know who complained got the same response”Colt Canada and CZ will have no involvement in any gun buyback program” this is just one confirmation of that. https://www.huntinggearguy.com/news/canada-gun-buyback-failure-and-update-for-2026/ Here’s an idea how about you start the civil defence corp by giving the hundreds of thousands of legal gun owners set to be criminals in October a weekend or 2 of advanced training and once completed let them keep their rightful possessions.
