Canadian provinces telling their federal government that they will not be using provincial resources to implement the mandated confiscation of semiautomatic rifles from their citizens.
"Trudeau’s Gun Grab: More Jurisdictions Tell Feds, You’re On Your Own"

"Earlier, your NRA-ILA reported that Canada’s three prairie provinces have opposed the federal government’s “assault weapon” confiscation law and refused to allow provincial resources to be used in enforcing the gun ban and so-called “buyback” of legally acquired firearms.
"By the end of September, officials representing the Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba governments had notified Marco Mendicino, the federal minister responsible for implementing Prime Minister Trudeau’s gun ban and confiscation law, that they would not authorize the use of provincially-funded resources to implement the program within their jurisdictions.
"Since then, officials in Yukon and New Brunswick have likewise expressed the view that the federal gun grab should not be piggybacked on provincial resources.
"Soon after, New Brunswick became the latest province to tell the feds that they’d have to find the means elsewhere for seizing firearms from responsible Canadians. An October 14 press release from New Brunswick’s Department of Justice and Public Safety quoted Public Safety Minister Kris Austin. 'New Brunswick’s bottom line is this: RCMP resources are spread thin as it is. We have made it clear to the Government of Canada that we cannot condone any use of those limited resources, at all, in their planned buyback program.' In common with the prairie provinces, New Brunswick 'called on the federal government to halt plans to use scarce RCMP and municipal police resources to confiscate over 100,000 legally acquired firearms from Canadians,' and asked the federal government not to divert funding from any other public safety initiatives to make the confiscation program possible."
