Leadnow member Jim created a petition on our public petition website, entitled “Canadian Tire: Stop selling products made by guns manufacturer Vista Outdoor."
The petition is addressed to Canadian Tire, and reads:
As customers of Canadian Tire, we call on you to immediately stop the sale of all Vista Outdoor brands.
SIGN THE PETITION
Here's what Jim wrote about it:
Vista Outdoor is a United States based corporation that owns Savage Arms - one of the largest producers of semi-automatic weapons in the country. [1] They're heavily involved in the gun lobby, and have ties to the National Rifle Association (NRA). [2]
Canadian Tire is currently supporting Vista Outdoor by stocking products from their other brands like -- Raskullz, Bushnell, Weaver, Simmons, Tasco, Butler Creek. [3]
In light of the ongoing mass shootings south of the border, many companies are withdrawing their support from manufacturers of assault type weapons. Mountain Equipment Coop (MEC) has just stopped orders for all products from Vista. [4] We call on Canadian Tire to follow suit. Can you click to let us know what you think?

British Columbia is gearing up for a referendum on voting reform next fall -- where voters will decide whether to modernize our voting system with a proportional system to make our democracy stronger, and up-to-date.

Our internet is under attack. Major telecom companies like Bell want the telecommunications commission (CRTC) to create a review board with the power to control our online activities and block websites they don’t like. [1] Blocking websites amounts to one thing: censorship.

Dear Paov,
Wow. You just defeated BC’s most unfair, regressive tax in favour of a fairer way to pay for health care in B.C.:
Success! You told the province to get rid of MSP fees earlier - by budget 2019/2020. This past Tuesday, the province committed to scrap the fees altogether by January 2020. [1]
Win! You told the province to make up part of the MSP fee revenue with a combination of personal and employer taxes. This past Tuesday, the province announced a new employer health tax to replace half the revenue.
