Ex-Canada MP Inky Mark arrested after police seize 439 firearms, cash and antique cannon

Royal Canadian Mounted Police arrested former MP Inky Mark during a firearms trafficking investigation that uncovered hundreds of weapons and C$300,000 in cash at his Manitoba home.

• RCMP seized 439 firearms, including an antique cannon, and C$300,000 from Mark's home near Dauphin, Manitoba on 7 July 2026.
• Mark, 78, has been charged with firearms trafficking, possessing unauthorised devices, and unsafe storage of firearms.
• RCMP confirmed at least three of the seized firearms were illegally trafficked and one firearm had its serial number tampered with.
• The investigation began in March 2026 after US firearms charges against another Dauphin-area man led police to weapons allegedly purchased by Mark.
