Great article here from @BrandenCPC. Locking land and water away so people can’t use it isn’t conservation. We need to empower hunters, anglers, farmers and those who know what the environment needs. Not shut them out. brandencpc.substack.com/p/th…

What a farce. This could be resolved by a clear federal directive that eliminates the ability for inmates to decide what prison to go to based on self-identified gender. This inmate's biological sex has not changed, despite claims to the contrary. nationalpost.com/news/canada…

According to documents tabled in Parliament (thanks @AndrewLawton), nearly 30% of the top 20 most commonly claimed firearms under the gun grab scheme are .22 calibre plinkers. Why are the Liberals ignoring the safety of the public in order to protect the safety of gophers?

Stakeholders invited to consult on Bill C-21, including a current Liberal Cabinet member, wanted amendments to ban online gun sales and thought gun owners illegally modified their magazines "all the time." And it was the only consultation held. calibremag.ca/c-21-docs-show…

Sad news. Praying for Rick’s family.
Today, it is our difficult duty to announce the passing of NFA President Richard Igercich. As we mark Rick's passing, NFA Executive Vice President and Acting President Blair Hagen shares the following tribute to the man, the leader, and the friend we were proud to know. His dedication to Canada's firearms community and unwavering defense of our rights left a lasting mark on this organization and its members. Rest easy, Rick. Memorial donations to the VON Sakura House, Woodstock, Tillsonburg District Memorial Hospital Foundation, or the Canadian Cancer Society would be greatly appreciated by the family.

Good luck to @CANMNT_Official today as they kick off our nation’s third-ever trip to the World Cup, and their first-ever World Cup match on home soil, facing Bosnia and Herzegovina in Toronto. The whole country is cheering you on 🇨🇦 Go Canada Go!

A Toronto police officer was shot and killed in the line of duty this morning. My deepest condolences to the officer’s family, loved ones, colleagues, and all of the Toronto Police Service. Today my thoughts are with them, and with all officers in uniform who selflessly put themselves in harm’s way to keep Canadians safe.
Update: A Toronto police officer is dead following an apparent exchange of gunfire during a raid at a highrise building in North York, according to the U.S. ambassador to Canada. trib.al/w23pZVg

What a complete joke this entire process has been. How many of these now banned firearms have been used in crimes since this program was initiated 6 years ago? I’m thinking none. Not one.

The federal government’s decision to extend its firearms amnesty once again is an admission that its firearm confiscation scheme is ineffective and deeply flawed. Ottawa should make the amnesty permanent and abandon its plan to confiscate legally acquired firearms from law-abiding Canadians. Gun confiscation programs will never stop gang violence, cross-border gun smuggling, and the criminal misuse of firearms. We will continue to use every lawful tool at our disposal to shield Albertans from any form of firearms confiscation. Alberta believes in a principled, evidence-based approach to firearms policy that targets violent criminals and illegal guns, not responsible firearms owners who follow the law. (And yes. That is a picture of me skeet shooting with friends.)

The Liberals were forced to announce an extension of the amnesty of their failed gun grab, because their costly useless program has been challenged all the way to the Supreme Court. Law-abiding firearms owners are not the cause of crime in Canada. In fact, virtually every province and territory in Canada is refusing to participate in the Liberal government's buyback program. Yet, instead of scrapping this failed program and focusing instead on stopping criminals, gangs and illegal firearms, the Liberal government fully intends to continue pouring taxpayer dollars into this costly boondoggle that has zero public safety benefit. Why are the Liberals so determined to keep this policy alive? Because this policy was never about public safety — it was about satisfying an ideological agenda.

Quebec’s police are phoning the spouses of licensed gun owners—not because of any complaint or threat, but simply because someone in the home legally owns a firearm. This isn’t about targeting criminals. It’s about treating responsible, heavily-vetted Canadians as suspects—despite the existing red flag laws, background checks, and ongoing screening. Our friends at Rebel News ask the right question: If all these laws are already in place to prevent violence, why are police investigating people who haven’t done anything wrong? Where does it end? Will lawful gun ownership always be treated as a crime-in-waiting? We stand for evidence-based policy, not political theatre or blanket suspicion of Canada’s most scrutinized citizens. See our latest commentary—featuring a satirical take on Ottawa’s approach to gun control. #cdnpoli #cssa #canadianfirearms #gunrights #fairlaws

This is good news for gun owners. Now hopefully Carney uses this extended year - plus of amnesty time to cancel this boondoggle for good.

Under the Liberals, precisely no days are against gun violence. They have taken measures at every step of the way to go lax on gang members and thugs who terrorize our communities. Instead they target law abiding gun owners with useless bans and threaten the safest citizens with jail time. If they’re serious about keeping people safe they should do precisely the opposite of the last 11 years.
(1/4) On the National Day Against Gun Violence, we reflect on the impact of gun violence on victims, survivors, families and communities across Canada. Strengthening our laws is an important part of the #GC efforts to help make communities safer. #NDAGV

Heinous criminals who will never see the light of day are using the parole system to "get off" on re-traumatizing victims and their families. @jeffkibblecml's Bill C-235 puts victims and their families by increasing parole eligibility threshold for the very worst offenders.

Congratulations to Our New President, Mike Duynhoven! We are thrilled to announce that Mike Duynhoven has stepped up as the new President of the CSSA! As our long-standing Vice-President, Mike is the mastermind who bridged the gap between grassroots gun owners and the Canadian firearms industry, creating networks that fund our legal battles and public relations campaigns. Mike’s understanding of the bureaucratic traps faced by PAL/RPAL holders and his hands-on dedication makes him the perfect choice to guide CSSA forward. We have the facts. We have the willpower. And under President Mike Duynhoven, the CSSA will continue to fiercely defend our outdoor heritage, culture of safety and personal responsibility, and Canada's sport shooting traditions.

Wild.
All this man seemed to be doing was walking away?

Exhibit 9 million - the problem is not licensed, trained and tested gun owners. Lock up the criminals. Leave the sport shooters alone.

This is wild. How far we’ve come from “China is the biggest security threat” during the election.
Replying to @MickeyDjuric
It is becoming increasingly clear that the Prime Minister's Office is not setting the rules on its own turf on Parliament Hill, while the Chinese delegation appears to be exerting significant influence over media access arrangements.
