Shipping company abruptly cuts off guns & ammo delivery across Canada

https://www.rebelnews.com/shipping_company_abruptly_cuts_off_guns_and_ammo_delivery_across_canada

JR Cox is the owner of The Shooting Edge in Calgary, the city’s first indoor shooting range. The Shooting Edge has been in business for over 20 years, and serves as one of the unofficial hubs for the target shooting and hunting communities in southern Alberta. Canpar has been one of the range’s shipping service providers since the very beginning.

This long-standing relationship came to an abrupt halt last week, when Canpar decided without warning to suspend all firearms and ammunition related delivery services across Canada. They abandoned decades-old business relationships instantly and without justification, and without providing their clients with sufficient notice to make other shipping arrangements. The decision was so prompt, and apparently poorly planned, that some ranges and firearms shops still have stock sitting at Canpar facilities, and they are now left wondering how they will get their product back.

As usual, those most hurt by this decision are among the most marginalized. Canpar is one of the only firearms and ammunition certified delivery platforms for some of Canada’s more remote regions, which means that sustenance hunters, First Nations communities and farmers working in the isolated reaches of the country will be left scrambling for solutions.

There is no clear motive for the cancellation of these services. It could be a logistical blunder, or an ideological cancellation of services. At this point, we simply don’t know. Canpar only notified JR that more details would follow.

We attempted to reach Canpar for comment, but our calls and messages went unanswered.

VICTORY: Rebel News wins court case on restrictive publication ban

https://www.rebelnews.com/victory_rebel_news_wins_court_case_on_restrictive_publication_ban

Great news! On Tuesday, Rebel News had our day in court regarding the publication ban that a B.C. father was recently sentenced to six months in prison for breaching, while speaking out against the medical transitioning of his child without his consent — and we got a win!

Justice Michael Tammen, who was set to rule on the matter, granted the order that we sought, to have the courts commit to transparency regarding the publication bans involved in this case.

The restrictive bans and orders at one point became so invasive that the father, C.D., was forbidden from referring to his biologically female child as “she.”

They also raised real concerns about freedom of press. Most notably so because the court filed some of these bans in secret. Yet, even though the details of such bans were hidden from the eyes of the public, press included, the fact that they were in effect meant that Canadian journalists who breached them, even unintentionally, could be found in contempt of court.

In court, opposing counsel Claire Hunter, acting for the child A.B., acknowledged that Rebel News was not the only publication to express confusion on how to legally inform the public about this story of great public interest. Yet, Rebel News was the only media outlet to take up legal action to do something about it.

“It was a win for Rebel News, and it was also a win for the open courts process, for the transparency for the courts,” said Kyle Bienvenu, a prestigious lawyer we hired for our case.

Perhaps that is why even Justice Tammen himself commended Rebel News’ efforts to bring this matter to the court’s attention.

We are so happy to celebrate this win for you, and also want to invite you to help us with the out of pocket expenses we still have left. To cover the legal bill for this fight, please donate what you can at LetUsReport.com.

We knew challenging any part of these bans was a David and Goliath-type fight, but chose to bear the burden for all Canadian press, and the public in doing so.

Although we didn’t get everything we initially set out to achieve, after two months of intense negotiations and new things being brought to light, the fact that Canadian media can report more freely on this case is a huge win.

We are proud to have created a new precedent for transparency in the courts for cases like this, and thankful for all who supported us in doing so.

Liberals paid SNC-Lavalin $150 million for hospitals that nobody needed

The Liberal government paid SNC-Lavalin $150 million for mobile field hospitals that nobody requested, testimony by the deputy minister of public works revealed during a House of Commons government operations committee meeting.

According to Blacklock’s Reporter, none of the hospitals were ever used since they were not needed by the Public Health Agency of Canada or any of the provinces.

On April 9, 2020, the Liberal government awarded the contract to SNC-Lavalin which included a $26,173,758 cash advance so that the company could procure five field hospitals.

“None have been deployed yet because they have not yet been requested by the provinces,” said deputy minister of public works Bill Matthews.

Upon being pressed by Conservative members of the committee, Matthews was unable to answer who exactly had requested the hospitals be built.

“Whose decision was it? We heard it had to be sole-sourced to SNC-Lavalin because it was urgent. No province requested them before it was determined to be urgent, and ordered. So who came up with the decision?” asked Conservative MP Kelly McCauley.

“I realize that, but was it the Public Health Agency that requested it? Who requested them?” said MP McCauley.

“It was the department that first identified the need,” replied Matthews without going into specifics.

Internal memos show that the Liberal government believed that due to the urgency of the pandemic, no public bidding was required when the contract was first awarded.

“The federal government was required to act with urgency to address a possible surge in demand on our health care system and in order to protect the health and safety of Canadians,” a memo writes.

“Given this emergent need for additional capacity, the agreements were put in place quickly.”

In 2019, a former SNC-Lavalin executive was charged and convicted for bribery, fraud and laundering the proceeds of a crime over the company’s past dealings in Libya.

In the same year, reports emerged that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau had attempted to pressure former Liberal Minister of Justice Jody Wilson-Raybould to intervene on behalf of SNC-Lavalin in a criminal persecution. Eventually, the Office of the Ethics Commissioner ruled that Trudeau had broken ethics laws in his attempt to interfere in the justice system.

For your consideration.
