About this episode

The episode discusses the failure of the federal government's gun confiscation pilot project in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia.

The federal government finally launched its confiscation program with a six-week pilot project in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. The government aimed to confiscate 200 firearms during the project. It spent more than $150,00 and only collected 25 from 16 different people. That’s a clear failure. Ottawa needs to scrap this scheme.
