Good morning Ms. Rudd,

I have a small business located just North of Cobourg, Ontario, employing three people with well-paying jobs and injected over $400,000 into the local economy in 2018. My business is that I provide material and technical support to the Canadian ammunition industry. I primarily employ veterans, like myself. Most of the people who I employ have service-related disabilities, whether they are visible or invisible.

If the Liberals move forward with a gun ban or "buyback" it will severely hinder my ability to provide for my family and employ people within the community. I am concerned to the point that I have created a business exit strategy to try and mitigate losses and still be able to provide for my family since I will be forced to shut down my business if this proposed policy moves forward.

Care to comment on how your party's platform will destroy jobs and small businesses in your constituency?

Especially when you reflect upon your own statement of "I’ve been a lifelong entrepreneur and an advocate on the federal and provincial levels for small businesses"

How are you specifically standing up for your constituents? I haven't seen anything from the Liberal platform, or from you that has indicated you are interested in helping your average constituent. I would believe that most of us are not looking for handouts, or "free things". I just want to be able to provide for my family, and this proposed policy will actually actively prevent me from running my business and potentially make the quality of life for my family significantly worse.

I would like to thank you for your time and your consideration of a response to my concerns,


Regards,

Brian Norris
 
Dear Brian,

Thank you for taking the time to write. As you know, we are committed to build on the important measures we passed in Bill C-71, and continue to take serious, common-sense action to crack down on gun crime:

We will ban all military-style assault rifles, including the AR-15;
We will work with the provinces and territories to give municipalities the ability to further restrict — or ban — handguns; and
We will protect the rights of law-abiding hunters and pledge not to bring back the long-gun registry. Hunters do not use or need assault weapons.

With kind regards,

Every useless Liberal MP towing the line
 
I doubt I will receive any reply. What can Ms. Rudd respond to this with that isn't going to contradict the Liberal party's mandate? I don't believe the Liberal Party of Canada values rural Canadians, small business owners, or the working class. I had hoped that all parties would focus on dealing with hard issues, not photo op "spending announcements". I would much rather have a leader stand up and say, "we are going to be fiscally responsible and some services will be reduced, it is going to be challenging, not everyone will be happy. However, we will leave Canada in a better financial position for our children then it is today." Making all these announcements about these big promises, I don't think is a responsible approach.

I have had some discussions with the local CPC candidate office, and he is acutely aware of my situation. I was informed that it will probably be brought up as a speaking point in the next debate.

For those who are offering to support my business further. I appreciate it, though I would prefer you go out and help in your riding. I deserve nor desire any special consideration. It has been a tough year for everyone in the industry within Canada, we have all been running lean.
 
I wrote my local MP 6 times never got one reply (Liberal) I wrote conservative Senators from BC and each one personally responded. That work ethic alone should sway any vote.

That about sums it up, they want all of our guns.
 
Hey Brian, great letter! I'm in your riding too and also emailed Ms.Rudd in March 2018 about C-71. I got a half decent reply the next day. I was appreciative of her reply but thought it could have been more thorough. As soon as I get into reloading I'll be contacting you! Good luck to us all this election.

Good morning Andrew,

I appreciate you reaching out; however, this legislation will have little direct impact on law-abiding gun owners like yourself. It's about balancing the misuse of firearms with those who use them lawfully, and actually would bring gun control closer toward the standards set in the 1970s. I ask that you be wary of information that may be both fear-mongering and politically-driven, and think it's important that the RCMP do have oversight when it comes to potentially dangerous firearms like automatic assault weapons. Some gun advocacy organizations have called the legislation "common sense."

I will certainly take your concerns under advisement going forward, and again, thank you for reaching out. However, please note that you may actually be located in Maryam Monsef's riding, rather than Northumberland--Peterborough South.

Best regards,

Kim Rudd
Parliamentary Secretary, Minister of Natural Resources
Member of Parliament, Northumberland-Peterborough South

Hello Kim,

My name is Andrew T. I am a resident in your riding, husband, father of four, licensed electrician, a licensed firearms owner, and enjoy target shooting sports as a hobby. I live east of Peterborough.
I am writing this email today to express my discontent with Bill C-71. I have personally read the bill and it's expressed changes to the Fire Arms Act and the Criminal Code. I find no significant way that the bill will impact or reduce gun related crime in Canada. I also see no way that the bill will increase the safety of legal firearms owners, and those people who choose not to own firearms. Instead, I observe that Bill C-71 will impose tighter restrictions on law abiding gun owners and have no effect on guns that are purchased on the black market and used by criminals.
I take with the utmost seriousness the safety of everyone around me while I enjoy my firearms hobby, actively and while my firearms are not in use. I take exception with Bill C-71 and it's usefulness to help improve the safty of people who do not own firearms, owners and end users of firearms, and it's ability to help police fight crime.
I would love to have a conversation with you to discuss Bill C-71, and invite you to take part in shooting sports with me to experience what enjoyment can be had.
Please do your part to express discontent for Bill C-71 with the influence you have in our local and federal politics. I believe Northumberland and Peterborough South deserve a federal Bill that will have a real impact on firearms safety, fighting firearms related crime, while maintaining freedoms for legal firearms owners in Canada.

Sincerely,

Andrew
 
Kim will not break the party line. It’s my experience that she’s trying to do best but she’s not trying to burn bridges either therefore she will not break the party line.

I have dealings with her trying to inquire why a friend of mine and veteran of the 101ST who’s living in Canada was not permitted landed immigrant or resident status Well the gates were open isis and others. I thought I posted it here but I didn’t because I will was banned at the time for telling off a liberal shill … G…


… Now we are here !good job to those responsible

Your CPC candidate who I happen to know and support is a very decent person.

I am glad you let them know about the situation and your letter to the Liberal Candidate.

There are a lot of very dedicated people working for the CPC in all ridings.

They are grateful for any help they can get.

If you only take a sign for your lawn, please call your local CPC office and they will deliver one.

If you can go out canvassing for a few hours, help on the phone, or with vehicle support or on election day to get out the vote......it is all worthwhile, fun and easy.
 
I will be down at the local office in Cobourg in the next couple of days. I would be going down tomorrow, but I have to go pick up 6,000 lbs of brass. I am going to time it at a time where to local CPC candidate is scheduled to be in the local office so I can talk to him for 5 minutes.

There are debates that the Liberal MP, Rudd is supposed to be at this week October 2nd and October 3rd.

The CPC candidate will also be there of course. Call their office and ask about their availability so you make sure you meet them. :)
