I am among the crowd that have never joined a political party in my life. That changed 2 minutes ago.

Maxime Bernier FTW.

I think he has to add to his firearm policy removing of mandatory gun club membership ,which I think and believe many other would agree is stupid way to skim money from law abiding and firearm responsible owners ?

I think he has lots of pluses. A Quebecer with true fiscal conservative views is a good national prospect. I am sure Albertans can get over his french name when they find out his stance on many things. He is also in sync with many Quebecers, mostly new Canadians btw, that don't believe in the nanny state. That's what old school Canadians don't get - that new Canadians are natural fiscal conservatives. But they drive them into other parties when you go on the anti immigrant path. Leitch would hand the Liberals a super majority if she became leader btw.

However as a 12.5 and 12.6 holder I am still pissed nobody is prepared to undo this travesty. My 12.5 rifle does not have a short barrel. If Bernier says it's about function not look then we can make most prohibited rifles non restricted, and all prohib pistols to restricted. But that is not truly what he is proposing. I am 44yrs old, one of the younger 12 license holders, but I am already lamenting the destruction of my 12s when I kick the bucket. I imagine 10-20yrs from now I will likely not be able to get 1/10 of their value.

I've been a card carrying member of the CPC for some time now, and I do make contributions to the party and help out come election time, volunteering with my local candidate. I have been keeping a list of the different candidates for leader, a spreadsheet with several columns. On column, an X in there and you are out of the running for me.
I have eliminated candidates for a variety or reasons, on for his stand on the right to die, anyone that has gone through a long terminal illness of a loved one would understand why, this candidate believes everything should be done to keep them alive and suffering, he's out. Sometimes if just takes one thing to get an X in that column, other times several smaller things.
A few are now out. Of course their position on firearms is very important, and if they don't trust me with my guns, I won't trust them with my vote, but there are also other critical issues including public safety, energy, and taxes. Can we afford another LIEbral term?
I'd like to point out that Steve Blamey was the Minister of Public Safety when the party brought in the Common Sense Firearms Bill, and being French he would pull a lot of votes in Quebec, and I hate to point this out, but many of our prime ministers do come out of Quebec.
Each has to make their own decision, but remember you must be a member by sometime late March, the date is available on the party website.
I would encourage all members here to invest in a membership and make your voices heard
