  • There Are Lots of Problems with Bill C-71
    A MANUAL FOR POLITICAL ACTION 2 THE BILL C-71 BOOK Quick Start Guide Nation-Wide Opposition to Bill C-71 Every national firearms rights group in Canada y Canadian Shooting Sports Association (CSSA) y Canadian Coalition for Firearm Rights (CCFR) y National Firearms Association (NFA) The national firearm-industry association y Canadian Sporting Arms and Ammunition Association (CSAAA) y Gun stores, importers, distributors and manufacturers Provincial associations, local clubs and ranges y Provincial hunting and wildlife associations, clubs, shooting ranges Individuals and athletes y Everyone from world-class athletes and hunters to recreational shooters, to subsistence hunters, to people who just got their firearm licences oppose Bill C-71 3 A MANUAL FOR POLITICAL ACTION Gun Owner Harassment Bill C-71 threatens to heap more restrictions on the proven good guys, federally licensed firearm owners, instead of the proven bad guys, violent criminals, drug dealers and gangs. Bill C-71 would also make it harder for honest people to buy, own and use firearms, while making it easier for police to ban and confiscate guns. Licence Refusal Many applicants will be refused their Possession and Acquisition License (PAL) as background checks are expanded to cover their entire lives. Licence Revocation By expanding background checks, Bill C-71 makes it easier for the RCMP to revoke your firearm Possession and Acquisition Licence. No PAL = No firearms. Confiscation All newly reclassified “Prohibited” firearms will be confiscated when their current owners die. Prohibition Immediately reclassifies an estimated 10,000 to15,000 legally purchased and legally owned “Non-Restricted” rifles as “Prohibited”. Gives RCMP greater leeway to reclassify and prohibit any firearm.

  • Generating Opposition
    ENERGY Generating opposition SARAH DEA/TORONTO STAr Some Oakville residents, like Doug MacKenzie, are showing signs of opposition towards the proposed natural gas plant on the border of Mississauga/Oakville south of the QEW. MacKenzie, president of the Chartwell Maple Grove Residents Association, created the "No Power Plant" lawn signs available through the community association (Sept. 4, 2009). Residents – and politicians – sick of breathing in pollutants keep push on against natural gas plant Sep 05, 2009 04:30 AM Tyler Hamilton ENERGY REPORTER Doug MacKenzie gets fired up when asked about the large natural gas plant being shoehorned into his neighbourhood. The Oakville homeowner says he's already paid his dues, forced like other residents to breathe in pollution from existing industry, including emissions from a nearby Petro-Canada lubricants plant, a Ford Motor paint plant, two wastewater treatment facilities, and a St. Lawrence Cement mill – all within a few kilometres. "This whole area has too much heavy industry already," says MacKenzie, frustrated at the thought that another major polluter could be built less than two kilometres from his front door on Benita Court. His concern, shared by most of his neighbours, hasn't stopped Ontario's power-planning agency from plowing ahead with a plan to locate an 850-megawatt natural gas generating station in southwest GTA. The final site will be one of four locations clustered around the southern border of Mississauga and Oakville. Three are within the community of Clarkson Village. The Ontario Power Authority was to have decided which private developer will build and operate the new plant – almost twice the size of the Portlands Energy Centre near Toronto's Beach and Leslieville neighbourhoods – in late August.

  • Lesson Plan with Activities: Political
    LESSON PLAN POLITICAL PARTIES Recommended for Grade 10 Duration: Approximately 60 minutes BACKGROUND INFORMATION Parliamentary Roles: www.ola.org/en/visit-learn/about-ontarios-parliament/ parliamentary-roles LEARNING GOALS This lesson plan is designed to engage students in the political process through participatory activities and a discussion about the various political parties. Students will learn the differences between the major parties of Ontario and how they connect with voters, and gain an understanding of the important elements of partisan politics. INTRODUCTORY DISCUSSION (10 minutes) Canada is a constitutional monarchy and a parliamentary democracy, founded on the rule of law and respect for rights and freedoms. Ask students which country our system of government is based on. Canada’s parliamentary system stems from the British, or “Westminster,” tradition. Since Canada is a federal state, responsibility for lawmaking is shared among one federal, ten provincial and three territorial governments. Canada shares the same parliamentary system and similar roles as other parliaments in the Commonwealth – countries with historic links to Britain. In our parliament, the Chamber is where our laws are debated and created. There are some important figures who help with this process. Some are partisan and some are non-partisan. What does it mean to be partisan/non-partisan? Who would be voicing their opinions in the Chamber? A helpful analogy is to imagine the Chamber as a game of hockey, where the political parties are the teams playing and the non-partisan roles as the people who make sure the game can happen (ex. referees, announcers, score keepers, etc.) LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY OF ONTARIO POLITICAL PARTIES 01 EXPLANATION (5 minutes) Political Parties: • A political party is a group of people who share the same political beliefs.

  • Stop Cheap Shrimp
    www.arcticseafood.sg STOP CHEAP SHRIMP Executive Summary Cheap and unsustainable shrimp imports to Canada are dangerous for humans and environment. Antibiotic-resistant shrimp make their way here and pose the risk of causing fatal infections1,2. Other artifacts of cheap shrimp are slavery, habitat loss, and destruction of coastal cities. Canada must stand against unsustainable shrimp imports. Why Shrimp Health & Nutrition Only 5% of our food imports are inspected at the border, leaving 95% of imports to enter Canada uninspected3. Unsustainable imported shrimp from countries like Thailand and India were recently sent back for containing Nitrofurans, a carcinogen antibiotic2. But antibiotic- resistant bacteria are making their way to Canada despite 5% being inspected. These bacteria can harbour disease and cause fatal infections2. We don’t need to consume shrimp to ensure a healthy lifestyle. Canada’s 2019 food www.cbc.ca/news guide recommends “choosing protein foods that come from plants”4. Antibiotic use on domestic shrimp is banned Arvin Bahrabadi by CFIA, yet imported shrimp are not held to the same standard2.
