Pierre Poilievre Landslide Win and Other Good News for Gun Owners
First, congratulations to Pierre Poilievre, his wife Anaida Galindo and the entire Team Poilievre for the resounding first-round win of the Conservative Party of Canada leadership contest.
It’s taken seven long years, but we finally have the Conservative Party united behind their leader to take on Justin Trudeau and the Liberals.
“We will restore the hope of safe streets,” Poilievre said Saturday night, “a hope that is turned into fear in all too many places after killings in Vancouver, Montreal, Toronto, and most recently, Saskatchewan.
“Weakened laws allow chronic and violent re-offenders out of prison early, at great danger to our people. Instead of spending a fortune targeting licensed and law-abiding, trained and tested firearms owners, Conservatives will bolster the laws, bolster the borders and put the real criminals in jail.”
We look forward to helping Mr. Poilievre win the next federal election so he can transform his vision for Canada into the everyday reality for all Canadians.
“No wonder people are worried. Most are lucky to be just getting by, many are falling behind. And there are people in this country who are just hanging on by a thread.
“These are citizens of our country. We are their servants. We owe them hope. They don't need a government that sneers at them, looks down on them, calls them names.
“They don't need a government to run their lives. They need a government that can run a passport office.”
Second, congratulations to The Honourable Candice Bergen for her stewardship as interim leader of the Conservative Party.
While we are saddened at her announced retirement, we’re incredibly grateful for her help and guidance over the years, including but not limited to her stewardship of Bill C-19 through Parliament and into law.
“Seeing our caucus come together again as a unified and strong opposition,” Bergen said, “and our party grow to over 678,000 members strong has shown me once again that the tried-and-true values and principles of respect of different viewpoints, trust in your team, and staying consistently Conservative is the path to success for our party and the country.”
Candice Bergen is the epitome of integrity in politics, a fact proven over and over again through her 14 years of service to Canadians.
On behalf of our entire membership, staff, Board of Directors, and president, Diane Town, we wish Candice and Michael every success in the future – whatever path they choose to take.
Third, congratulations to Firearms Outlet Canada and their successful TACCOM Show in Toronto this past weekend. CSSA was proud to be there and support this event again!
Finally, congratulations to Wendy Cukier, President of the Coalition for Gun Control, for being unceremoniously tossed from the legal battle over SOR/2020-96 – aka the May 1st Gun Ban by Order in Council.
The federal court decision by Associate Chief Justice Jocelyne Gagné, released on September 12, 2022, made Ms. Cukier’s irrelevance to the proceedings crystal clear. [i]
“However, not only will the Coalition not be filing its own evidence, but Dr. Cukier admitted on cross-examination that she had not reviewed the numerous affidavits and extensive documentary evidence filed by all the parties in support of their respective positions.”
“Therefore, for the foregoing reasons, I will dismiss the motions.”
We are grateful to Associate Chief Justice Jocelyne Gagné for this decision.
We are also grateful to Christine Generoux. It was her tenacious cross-examination of Wendy Cukier that forced Ms. Cukier to make her damning admission to federal court.

Now that we’ve seen him in action, will Pierre win the next federal election?

Subject: MP's non-response
My local MP (Powlowski) has not responded to my questions ever since he found out I was a firearms owner and did not like his position on supporting Bill Blair's Gun ban.
I do not know who to write or really would like to draw attention to the fact that they are trying to eliminate firearms ownership. People I try to explain that to just write me off as a "conspiracy theorist".
Keep up the good work in trying to educate the general firearms owner.
Thanks, Clay
I think the days when we could write to a Liberal MP that actually cared are long behind us. I would suggest you write to Pierre Poilievre and copy the letters to Raquel Dancho, M.P. (Shadow Minister for Public Safety); Blaine Calkins, M.P. (Chair of the Conservative Angling and Hunting Caucus); and M.P. Bob Zimmer (CPC) and M.P. Ken McDonald (Lib) (Co-Chairs of the all-party Parliamentary Outdoor Caucus).
Their email address are as follows:

Statement
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
September 13, 2022
Parliamentary Outdoor Caucus Co-Chairs Applaud U.S. Decision To Reverse Import Ban On Hunter-Harvested Wild Game Birds
OTTAWA – Parliamentary Outdoor Caucus Co-Chairs Bob Zimmer, Member of Parliament for Prince George-Peace River-Northern Rockies, and Ken McDonald, Member of Parliament for Avalon, issued the following statement regarding the U.S. Department of Agriculture Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service’s decision to revise its import ban on hunter-harvested wild game birds coming from Canada:
“We are pleased to see that the concerns we outlined in our letter to U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack last week were taken seriously and that the Department of Agriculture Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service listened to stakeholders when coming to this science-based decision to revise its ruling.
“This decision will not only provide American hunters with clear guidelines when returning to the United States, it will also help to ensure Canada’s outdoor tourism industry, including our hunting guides and outfitters, have a successful season after years of economic hardship due to COVID restrictions.
“On behalf of Canada’s Parliamentary Outdoor Caucus, we want to thank all those who brought this issue to our attention. It is gratifying to see this conclude with a common-sense decision to reverse the blanket import ban.”
According to the new restrictions, unprocessed hunter-harvested wild game bird carcasses, originating from or transiting through Canada, must meet following conditions:
- Viscera, head, neck, feet, skin, and one wing have been removed; and
- Feathers have been removed, with the exception of one wing – as required by U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) for species identification; and
- Carcasses must be rinsed in fresh, clean, potable water prior to packaging and must not have visible evidence of contamination with dirt, blood, or feces; and
- Carcasses must be imported in leak-proof plastic packaging and stored in a leak proof cooler or container during transport and import; and
- Carcasses must be chilled or frozen during transport and import.
The mission of the all-party Parliamentary Outdoor Caucus is to entrench in law fishing, hunting, trapping and shooting sports as acceptable, traditional, environmentally-sustainable outdoor heritage activities with a safety credo and a conservation ethic as the highest priorities.
