Liberals Refuse Federal Court Order to
Give Evidence for May 2020 Attacks

16 June 2021

We are updating as we get more info.

TheGunBlog.ca — Canada’s Liberal Party-led government refused a Federal Court order to produce the evidence that led to its political attacks begun in May 2020 against gun owners.

Hidden Under Section 39

The Clerk of the Privy Council, the most-senior government employee and a top adviser to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, used Section 39 of the Canada Evidence Act to keep e-mails, memos and notes hidden from the court and the public.

The Clerk, Janice Charette, signed the Section 39 certificate on June 14. A Federal Court judge on May 27 gave the government 30 days to produce all documents related to its crackdown.

Disclosure ‘Shall Be Refused’

“As a result of the certification by the Clerk, pursuant to s. 39, ‘disclosure of the information shall be refused without examination or hearing of the information by the court,’” government lawyers told the Federal Court yesterday.

“The attached s. 39 certificate is an absolute bar to filing with the Court under seal the information encompassed by the Order.”

Criminalize and Confiscate

The refusal is the Liberals’ latest obstruction tactic as they push ahead with their May 2020 Order in Council (OIC) that criminalized honest citizens and ordered the confiscation of suddenly blacklisted rifles and shotguns.

Federal Court Orders Liberals to Hand Over Evidence
for May 2020 Attacks

31 May 2021

Link to story at TheGunBlog: READ FULL STORY HERE

TheGunBlog.ca — Canada’s Federal Court ordered the government to hand over all documents leading to its May 2020 political attacks against licensed gun owners and businesses, in a major procedural win for the teams fighting the crackdown.

30 Day Deadline

Associate Chief Justice Jocelyne Gagné gave the Attorney General of Canada (AGC) 30 days to turn in the evidence, she said in a decision dated May 27 and received by lawyers today.

The governing Liberal Party previously refused to share materials behind its 01 May 2020 Order in Council (OIC) criminalizing honest citizens and ordering them to surrender their suddenly blacklisted rifles and shotguns by April 2022.

  The RCMP and Trudeau Lied! 

Proof now exists that the RCMP kept a 
secret copy of the Long Gun Registry and 
has continued to use it! 

Your non-restricted firearms are STILL registered to YOU (even if you sold them) 
and this information is being distributed to the RCMP patrol officer. 

Sign the Petition below to get the government to actually do what they were required to do!

Firearm News - July 27, 2020

Did you receive the RCMP’s
“Not A-Registration-Certificate-Revocation” letter? 

This is the next "salvo" in the Liberal/RCMP bag of tricks for licensed responsible firearm owners
(as of course no criminals would receive/obey these!) 
 
If you received one - please read the info below! 
(Even if you didn't receive one - please read also as they have executed this
same trickery in years past and surely will again!) 

Note: The OIC/RCMP list continues to grow (from 1500 to now over 9500 firearm types -
without any oversight - and even including non-restricted 22 cal. rifles and shotguns)
so yours might be on it now or very soon - even if it wasn't originally listed,
thereby making YOU an instant criminal!

CCFR Position on Sec. 74 Challenge 

If you as a firearm owner are not yet supporting CSSA, CCFR or NFA (or all three) - then please - get your head out of the sand - and support/donate!  What are you waiting for? No one else is going to help us.  The more they take - the more they will want - and their goal is to take them all! 
Aren't you tired of being demonized for enjoying the shooting sports? 

PLEASE - DO YOUR PART! 

And be sure to support and vote for the ONLY party that will support you as a firearms owner!

Firearm News: May 25 2020

What can I do to fight the Liberal Firearm Bans and stop them from "scapegoating"all Licensed Firearm Owners
for the actions of Criminals?

1) Sign the available petitions in support these issues! 

Why are you urging me, and everyone I know, to sign these petitions? 

We have an opportunity to give our political allies the ability to keep the stupidity of the Liberal government’s latest round of gun bans in the public’s eye. Why is this important?

Politicians need tools to do their jobs, and one of the tools at their disposal are petitions. I dislike petitions because, far too often, they give the person signing them the false impression they’ve actually accomplished something when they have not. Signing a petition is not an end. It’s not even a beginning. The value of a petition is to give our elected officials – in this case our Conservative MPs – the ability to keep raising the issue both inside and outside of Parliament. The flaws in the Liberal government’s latest Order in Council are many. As more and more of these flaws surface, a petition gives our MPs the ability to speak about those failings – which can only help our cause.

So… here are the links. Please go to them all, sign your name and, MOST IMPORTANTLY, click the confirmation email you will receive for the first three very shortly afterward. If you do not, your name will NOT be added to the list.

1. Petition e-2574 (Democratic process)
2. Petition e-2576 (Democratic process)
3. Petition e-2582 (Democratic process)
4. Matt Larose’s petition on Change.org [h/t @AnnieOak5]
5. Canadian Taxpayer’s Federation petition
6. UNIFOR Members Only on Change.org
7. MP Cheryl Gallant’s Petition To Fire Bill Blair

Sign them, click on the confirmation link in the three emails you will receive For petitions 1-3), then ask all your family and friends to do the same. Will these petitions in and of themselves stop the latest Liberal nonsense? No, of course not. They are simply one more tool in our arsenal to fight back against measures we know will not and cannot stop gang shootings or mass killers.

2. Support our firearm rights groups that are leading the fight!  
Many of these organizations are currently involved in bringing "human rights" court challenges against the government on your behalf to expose and fight the government's actions to blame and punish licensed firearm owners and businesses (through these and future firearm bans) for the actions of madmen. 

The legal question regarding 12 and 10 gauge shotguns, and any other firearms they see fit to ban is NOT over - don't assume that it is!  The RCMP continue to add shotguns and other rifles to the growing list of prohibited firearms - without any oversight! 

Support these groups through membership and donations!

Now is the time for action - NOT excuses!  Please do it now!  Don't forget to donate - we will all lose much more if these challenges are NOT successful!

a.  CCFR - https://firearmrights.ca/en/donate/

b.  CSSA - https://cssa-cila.org

c.  NFA - https://nfa.ca

3. Write your MP, the Prime Minister and Bill Blair 

Tell them you are against the bans and their continued "scapegoating" of legal firearm owners.  More letters are better than long letters - and keep sending!  Snail mail is best - No postage required.  

4. Donate to the only political party interested in supporting you as a licensed firearms owner - the Conservative Party of Canada! Support and donate to them as they continue to fight for us in Ottawa.  Only they have stated publicly that repeal of this OIC and a revamping of the Firearm program in Canada is needed to stop the scapegoating of licensed firearm owners!  Don't forget about the generous tax credit for donations (about 75% up to about $450 which means it costs you only about $125 to make this donation!)
Donate here:  CPC  https://www.conservative.ca

BTW - Don't expect others to protect YOUR rights as a firearms owner - if we don't ALL do something to help fight against this attack on us - then one day soon they will come for our firearms!  It will only work if we ALL respond as the Liberals have a divide and conquer plan of action as we have all seen in the past. 

(FYI - My understanding is that notices from the RCMP are already in the mail addressed to all PAL holders! This is what it looks like:  RCMP Notice to PAL Holders)
