Five years ago today, twenty-two Canadians were murdered in a brutal act of gun violence that began in Portapique, Nova Scotia. It remains one of the darkest moments in Canada’s history. Our thoughts are with the families still grieving their loved ones, and the communities

The outcome of the 2025 federal election could have major consequences on Canada’s gun control regime.

The Conservative platform is out. The party avoids saying whether it will end the ban on assault-style rifles or the ban on purchasing or transferring handguns. #cdnpoli #Elxn2025 …r-a-change.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/20250418_CPCPl…

Exploiting the tragic loss of life in Vancouver for political gain is a new low for Mr. Poilievre in the final hours of his campaign. Besides that, police have said the individual had a history of mental health issues and are still investigating. #VancouverStrong

King Charles and Queen Camilla planted a tree at Rideau Hall during their visit to Canada. Almost 86 years ago his grandparents planted an oak tree in the Halifax Public Gardens, which still stands.

Seven years ago today, many lives were impacted by the Danforth shootings. We especially miss Reese and Julianna. We continue to hope for zero gun violence in all neighbourhoods. Thanks to all who have supported us.
