TheGunBlog.ca — Airbnb Inc. just became one of Canada’s top activists against hunters, farmers and sport shooters.

The U.S. lodging company pledged $300,000 to Canadian Doctors for Protection From Guns, which lobbies the government to ban guns from the country’s 2.2 million adults with a federal firearm licence.

“I view this partnership — it’s a three-year partnership — really as a first step,” Chris Lehane, San Francisco-based Airbnb’s head of policy, said at a press conference in Toronto today. CP24 shared a video of the briefing.

Team Canada competitors, hunters, plinkers and other gun users canceled their Airbnb accounts. Examples here, here, here, here, here.

[BDoctors Against PAL Holders[/B]

Airbnb will be financing a year-old lobby group that promotes mass confiscations against some of Canada’s most lawful, safe and responsible men and women.

It’s backing activists who use their positions in hospitals and medical organizations to campaign against adults with a firearm Possession and Acquisition Licence (PAL) authorized by the federal police.

All guns are banned already for everyone else.

Anyone who buys, sells or has any firearm without police permission risks jail.

“No more Airbnb for me, I just canceled my account,” said Nicolas Johnson, the editor of TheGunBlog.ca. “I really hope they review their pledge as they learn more about their new high-risk partner.”

The company didn’t respond to a request for comment from TheGunBlog.ca after business hours in Toronto.

Guns & Lodging

Roughly 7% of adults have a PAL.

Millions more family and friends of all ages use firearms safely and responsibly under the control of permit holders.

Hunters, firearm collectors, recreational shooters, competitors and many of the 50,000 workers in the firearm industry need places to stay as they travel the country and the world to and from the bush, matches, training courses, gun shows, or for personal trips.

‘No Civilian Access’

Najma Ahmed, the lobby group’s founder, joined Airbnb’s Lehane at today’s media briefing.

“No civilian needs access to guns,” Ahmed said on Twitter on Jan. 15, 2019, as she was setting up her organization.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau invited her to speak last September during his re-election campaign promising mass firearm confiscations.
She was one of at least four group members invited by the Senate last year to support Bill C-71 against PAL holders.

More Canadian Than Hockey

Hunting and shooting are at the heart of Canadian culture, heritage and tradition.

More adults have a firearm licence than play golf or hockey.
Millions more family and friends of all ages hunt and shoot safely and responsibly under the control of permit holders.
Provincial premiers and police leaders across Canada have rejected bans against honest citizens.
The federal firearm regulator said in a report published last month that there are no public-safety reasons to deny PAL holders access to guns.
A petition against Trudeau’s plans to order mass gun confiscation just became the No. 1 e-petition in Canadian history.

‘Troubling’ Partnership

Lehane said Airbnb is paying the prohibitionist lobbyists to raise awareness of violent criminals who use firearms, after a triple homicide-by-bullet at an Airbnb rental last week.

“This partnership is troubling in many ways,” Silence the Violence and Shun the Guns said in the first of seven Twitter replies to Lehane. “1) These are a group of doctors. Not anti-youth gang and gun violence specialists. If they claim they are, they should quit their professions and focus on this problem full time. Our founder did.”

Airbnb wants to expand its partnership with the prohibitionists, Lehane said.

“We were already talking upstairs about other ideas and thoughts in terms of how we could extend and expand the type of work that we could be involved with together,” Lehane said at the press conference.

Make up your mind.
You start a new thread on something you have called stupid and worthless.
You appear mercurial and I have doubts you support the petition.
I understand being passionate about what you believe in but you must have the same respect for other people's passions which may not be the same as yours.
Find a common ground, start there, not with attacks and division.

When you have people stating they are gonna bulldoze and entire ecosystem because of a worthless e- petition....on a post started by the biggest rat of CGN JR. Cox it gets my blood boiling. Maybe look at threads in context to the specific conversation instead of cutting and pasting.

Appearing mercurial.....maybe.. when I start getting attacked, called a liar ( from the likes of you) and see what "some" of this community is like.

I signed the petition, as for DU their position doesn’t get me all hot and bothered. Their call, if you don’t like it don’t support them. As a former land owner concerned with conservation I used one of their programs to put a no drain/no break caveat on my most of the sensitive areas of my pasture land. It had been in our family for over a hundred years and I didn’t want any new owner coming in and destroying habitat that was not suitable for grain production. Habitat protection is important to me, they were the organization most willing to provide what I wanted to accomplish.

Good as well but DU had better get a bit political because one day up here in Canada we will be growing ducks exclusively for our neighbors to the south... Ottawa is out of control and our illustrious PM is without a word of a doubt following the UN mandate to disarm.

i recall viewing a bar-graph as such, however it was dated 600 bc to 2016, that indicated a .89% of 1 degree celsius increase in temperature. Moreover, there is no evidence of extreme temperature increase, many models have proved that global warming has been embellished. Left-wing extremists have relinquished their “global warming” war cry to “climate change,” hence, lack of scientific evidence of global warming. Therefore, floods, fires, hurricanes etc. Is now climate change, their new embellished war cry.

DUC: " Hey folks! It's DU Canada. We'd like to do some fundraising, and to help get you to part with your hard earned money, we're going to raffle off some sweet guns.

Hunters: "Hey, that's great, so you support my legal rights to possess, and shoot firearms?"

DUC: "...."

Hunters: "...."
 
DUC Has effectively shot themselves in the face ( pun intended).

For the following reasons.

1. They have lost their mandate, and forgotten their original mission. DU was founded by hunters for the preservation of hunting lands and habitat. DU USA is not only pro 2A, but remembers their origins.

2. DUC has been inconsistent in their messaging around Petition E-2341.

3. They have blatantly lied, citing Rev Can rules around not-for-profit, and political activities, yet they have weighed in on other legislative issues over the years. The OFAH, Delta Waterfowl, CWTF have all issued statements and informed their members, all are registered non-profits.

It's great that they receive millions in Federal funding, because the other means of fundraising just got significantly less.

As an active member of a couple of chapters of Delta, I have actually seen an uptick in people seeking memberships and dinner info.

The fact that they have a position on the Firearms Advisory Committee should mean they have a horse in the race. Their presence is touted as gun owner representation by the government. If they choose to "remain neutral" then they are not representing their constituency. And in fact, they are then merely confirming that they owe their position, and are contributing, to Liberal malfeasance in creating the fiction of gun owner representation on the committee as pablum for the uninformed.

If DU truly believes it has no place in the gun control debate, then it has no place on the advisory committee and it should have declined the seat for reasons of integrity.

What he said ^^^^^ Exactly!

Another small detail. In Alberta whenever a municipal district does work that disturbs or removes a wetland (perhaps a road build etc) they must, by law, donate a sum of money, as determined by formula, to DU in order for them to "replace" said wetland. DU is under no obligation to spend said money within that particular municipal district and can in fact spend it anywhere it chooses.

Glad we got something for the billions of dollars the feds gave them since the early 80's other than buck's hat :) . 2018 alone is pretty significant IMO

OTTAWA, ON – Ducks Unlimited Canada (DUC) welcomes major investments in wildlife habitat conservation announced today in the 2018 Federal Budget. New funding of $1.3 billion is one of the most significant investments in nature conservation in Canadian history.Feb 27, 2018
