🇨🇦 Toronto gun licences up 49 percent, Peel up 110 percent

The funniest part is the state pretends it has no idea why. Since 2016, firearms licence applications across the GTHA jumped 49 percent, with Peel exploding 110 percent, as reported. Right after years of Liberal chaos, rising disorder, imported gang problems, collapsing trust in institutions, and relentless demographic churn, officials shrug and mutter about shooting sports. Sure. Toronto alone had 4,297 PAL applications in 2025, in a country where getting licensed means courses, background checks, references, and your spouse being notified. People do not volunteer for that circus just because punching paper is exhilarating.

This is what Trudeau-era governance looks like on the ground: the public gets lectured, disarmed, and monitored while the political class floods major centres, loses control of social cohesion, then acts baffled when ordinary people quietly prepare to look after themselves. The real story is not a hobby boom. It is vanishing confidence in the regime that created the mess.
