"It's Finally Here! The trailer for the CCFR's Canada Downrange TV Show - WildTV "
Rod Giltaca posted this in the general forum, and frankly this message is more important than anything else that's going to show up on the main page of CGN! So I'm reposting it in our sponsored forum in hopes that the extra visibility will have EVERY single gun owner in Canada seeing this, and appreciating just how much the CCFR has done, and is doing for us all!
Merry Christmas Rod, Tracey, and every single CCFR volunteer and member and THANK YOU!

It was a ton of work but it's finally here. Congratulations to gun owners across the country. This is the first TV show in Canadian broadcast history focusing entirely on target and sport shooting. It starts Jan 2nd on WildTV. WildTV is a speciality cable channel so if you don't have it you can subscribe via your cable provider. You can also see it on https://myhuntfix.com/ as well. Season two and a few more surprises are incoming. Thanks to everyone who supports the CCFR, this is all you!
I'm not on here much but here's what the CCFR has been up to since March of this year (introduction on Bill C-71):
Held two fully promoted press conferences on Parliament Hill in Center Block and featured on CPAC. Yes, gun owners do have a voice in the mainstream.

Testified as expert witnesses against C-71 before the Standing Committee on Safety and National Security
Conducted over 50 media interviews including syndicated CBC, television and live "in studio" shows (no more "we can't get on mainstream media" excuses!)
You can find many of them here: https://malgeo.wixsite.com/interviews/rod-giltaca
Produced 9 social media political video ads that have been seen over 500,000 times in Canada alone

Funded and hosted multiple "Town Hall" events with MP's and the public around the country
Met with members of the Senate (last process for C-71) & lobbied extensively in Ottawa on behalf of gun owners. Check out the Lobby Canada Activities link to see who's been there and how many times: https://lobbycanada.gc.ca/app/secure/ocl/lrs/do/clntSmmrySrch Then type in "firearms" into the search.

Completed filming for "The CCFR's Canada Downrange" TV show to premier Jan 2, 2019. A huge breakthrough to humanize and legitimize gun owners in Canada. A) We've hit the mainstream, B) This is only the beginning, stay tuned...

Sponsored a full year of one-minute ads on WildTV to mobilize hunters and fishermen to get active in advocating for their own rights. This is one of the keys to developing a powerful gun lobby that creates sufficient political pressure to change a government's course. (We aren't there yet)

The CCFR has done all this and more since the introduction of Bill C-71 (8 months ago, we've been busy).
