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. -

Commercializing Canadian Airport, Port and Rail Governance - 1975 to 2000
Changing Course: Commercializing Canadian Airport, Port and Rail Governance - 1975 to 2000 By Mark Douglas Davis, B.Sc. (Hons.), M.A. A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Public Policy Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario © 2016 Mark Douglas Davis Abstract This thesis examines the historical public policy circumstances surrounding the Government of Canada’s decision to commercialize Canadian National (CN) Railways, as well as federal airports and ports over the period 1975 to 2000. Its focus is on testing one specific empirical hypothesis: That the commercialization of federal airport and port assets between 1975 and 2000 occurred primarily due to: (i) federal government concerns over the growing size of the national debt and deficit; and (ii) the emergence of the neoliberal ideology in Canada and its growing influence throughout federal policy making, as witnessed by the swift 1995 privatization of CN Railways. In particular, this thesis considers the role and influence of various policy factors, such as efficiencies, governance challenges, organizational cultures, stakeholder behaviours, ideological pressures, and political realities encountered by senior federal transportation bureaucrats and the political leadership during this period. The selection of CN Railways, airports, and ports also provides a window into Transport Canada’s repeated attempts at developing an integrated and multi-modal national transportation policy. This thesis conducts a rigorous, forward-looking deductive analysis using a meso institutional framework to examine the interactions of the major micro and macro circumstances surrounding federal transportation commercialization. The three modal case studies apply the meso framework to each unique case with special consideration of the context and causality of each major reform. -
