Former Supreme Court justice John Major Appointed to Firearms Advisory

Former Supreme Court justice John Major

This step to appoint former Supreme Court justice John Major to the firearms advisory as far as I can tell is absolutely stacking the deck against firearms owners.  I could be wrong and maybe he’s pro gun, I haven’t been able to find out for certain but I really doubt it.

The Liberals condemn the previous government for stacking the deck with firearms enthusiasts and then do the opposite.   It just shows the Liberals are just out to take away firearms from LEGAL firearms owners.  I understand that this is getting ahead of myself in terms of what is going to happen but history tends to repeat itself and we all know the Liberals do not like us having firearms.

We all know gun control for the most part does not work and I cannot understand why so much time and money is spent on trying to take them away from legal gun owners?

I am also going to step out on a limb here and guess that one of the women Ralph Goodale said they are going to announce on Friday will be a certain lady that heads the anti firearm group, Wendy Cukier to the board.  Just a hunch.  Yes its the same lady that I believe was fired from her job for bullying.   Not to mention the untrue “facts” listed on her anti-firearm website.

Former Supreme Court justice John Major will serve as chair of the federal government’s firearms advisory committee, CBC News has learned.

A source with knowledge of the appointment, speaking to CBC News on condition of anonymity, said Public Safety Minister Ralph Goodale will formally make the announcement Friday morning, along with naming the committee’s two vice-chairs.

Goodale hinted in an interview two weeks ago that the newly overhauled group would be led by a “distinguished Canadian jurist.”

The advisory committee provides advice and expertise to the government on firearms issues and has been vacant since the Liberals came to office in 2015.

Major served on the Supreme Court of Canada from 1992 until 2005. A year later, he was appointed to lead the inquiry into the 1985 bombing of Air India Flight 182, which he called the worst mass murder in Canadian history.

Most recently, Major has been practising law in Calgary.

Having a former Supreme Court judge heading the committee signals the Canadian Firearms Advisory Committee will be serving a much different role than it did in the past.

Under the previous government, the group was stacked with firearms enthusiasts, many of whom lobbied for the reclassification of rifles or looser restrictions on guns.

The Liberals committed to changing the makeup of the committee’s membership during the last federal election.

Goodale recently told CBC News that members of the group would be more representative of Canadian society and would include farmers, hunters, the sporting community, women, police and those from the public-health sector.
