At least i could use those to bug out into the wilderness.
That said I'm fairly confident that if the government was truly evil our armed forces or a significant portion, would disobey orders (albeit I'm not exactly 100% on how the chain of Command works in Canada, can the PM issue direct military orders? The only thing that comes to min is the War Measures Act. Although that could all change over time)

They'd be ripping your fire arm out of your cold dead hands as they round up your family and community are marched into forced labor camps.
And realistically bugging out into the wilderness would be a bad tactic, the modern day military has supreme air recon capabilities, they'd find you by head signatures, pursue you with special forces to pin you down and harass you to with air and artillery.
The only effective tactic would be to blend in with civilians and hope that the evil government cares about public relations or civilian casualties.
Anyways the point is that the whole justification of allowing fire arms for civilian militias that can appose governments or defend the nation makes little to no sense to me.
