This week on On The Line, Matt Gurney is joined by Clayton Campbell, president of the Toronto Police Association, for a frank conversation about the state of law and order in Canada's biggest city — and beyond.They start with morale inside the force, the kinds of work officers are being asked to do, and the kinds of work no one ever wants to do again. They also talk about ways to prevent people from entering the criminal justice system in the first place.This episode is brought to you by Universities Canada. Canada's prosperity is built on people with ideas — researchers, scholars and students and the universities that support them in shaping our future. Budget 2025 is an opportunity to advance that momentum. Global uncertainty and shifting geopolitics have made this vision even more urgent. A vibrant Canadian research ecosystem is essential — one that generates made-in-Canada solutions, retains top talent and preserves our technological independence in critical fields.Federal grants and scholarships must be safeguarded. Because this isn't just about campuses. It's about made-in-Canada solutions for our economy, our health care system and our national security. Supporting researchers today secures the talent pipeline and innovation we need for a stronger Canada.Learn more at univcan.ca.From there, the discussion shifts to eroding public confidence in law and order — a trend that's driving some Canadians to arm themselves or hire private security firms to patrol wealthy neighbourhoods. Bail reform inevitably comes up, as does sentencing, and the challenge of deterring young offenders from doing the dirty work of organized crime groups that see underage recruits as an asset.This episode is also brought to you by the Daily Bread Food Bank. Working-age Canadians with disabilities experience poverty and food insecurity at twice the rate of the general population. The Canada Disability Benefit was designed to address this, but at $6.67 a day, it fails to cover essentials like food, housing, and medication. Daily Bread Food Bank and coalition partners urge the federal government to fully fund the benefit to lift those it was meant to serve out of poverty. Join thousands of Canadians calling for change to help ensure people with disabilities can live a life of dignity. Take action at FundTheBenefit.ca.And, because it's Matt, the episode wraps with a look at the federal government's gun confiscation plans. Clayton doesn't like them any more than Matt does, and he isn't convinced Ottawa can actually make the program work if it ever goes forward.New episodes of On The Line drop every Tuesday.

On today's episode of The Candice Malcolm Show guest host Kris Sims dives into Ottawa's gun confiscation plan. The federal Liberals, with Prime Minister Mark Carney now at the helm, are moving ahead with a billion-dollar program to seize lawfully purchased firearms. Sims explains why this isn't a “buyback” but outright confiscation of private property—punishing hunters, farmers, and sport shooters while doing nothing to target gang-related crime. Joining the show is Rod Giltaca, CEO of the Canadian Coalition for Firearms Rights, who details the staggering costs, the devastating impact on firearms retailers, and how Ottawa has rejected even modest compromise proposals like grandfathering. Also on the program, Toronto Police Association president Clayton Campbell breaks down why frontline officers oppose the scheme. Campbell points out that 90% of crime guns in Toronto come from illegal U.S. smuggling—not law-abiding gun owners—and warns that police resources will be wasted on paperwork instead of tackling gangs and keeping violent repeat offenders behind bars. Kris highlights the lessons from the failed Long Gun Registry, which ballooned from $2 million to $2 billion, and asks why taxpayers should foot the bill for another boondoggle. Both guests stress that Canadians should be alarmed: this is a reckless assault on property rights, public safety, and common sense. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
