Lieberals at it again. Take note.
The Liberal Party of Canada is holding its' Liberal Leadership and Biennial Convention in Montreal from November 28th to December 2nd. Two of the policy resolutions to be debated and voted upon are very relevant to firearm owners.
It will be interesting to see how they are dealt with. But, regardless, it shows that the federal Liberals have not changed their mindset regarding firearms ownership in Canada.
