Default Alberta Chief Provincial Firearms Officer Status

Any insider info on the status of the Alberta CFO?

Supposedly that was to be in place sometime during 2021.

https://www.alberta.ca/alberta-firea...committee.aspx

How about the talk of passing legislation to circumvent municipalites within Alberta from creating firearm free zones?

Saskatchewan passed legislation back in July of 2020 against municpal level firearm bans, if I'm not mistaken.

With the way Bill C21 is being fastracked through the Federal system, all ready passed 2nd reading, I wouldn't put it pass the Liberals to actually pass Bill C21 before either an election is called or parliment breaks for summer.

Seems the UC's are dragging their feet for reasons unkown

Here is a link to Jason Nixon's face book page, scroll down and he discusses what they are doing regarding towns / cities banning firearms. Hopefully they get it done shortly.

Well hat's off to Jason Nixon for introducing that bill/motion or whatever the correct term is. Better late than never, Saskatchewan did that last summer if I understand correctly.

It can't be helped to think of other legal pre-emptive actions to counter the present and future firemarms assualt on gunowners, a more legal confrontational approach maybe?

I can only assume that we all have a pretty good idea what regulations/laws will be imposed by the Liberals in ther 3rd,4th.....waves of their assault.

I don't really see the full logic of a wait and see attitutude the Alberta government has but then again I understand the Firearms Act is under the jurisdiction of the Feds not the provinces.

Just venting!!

That's never stopped Quebec - why should it stop us? They ignored the cancellation of the registry, they ignore federal wastewater requirements - if they don't like federal edicts, they simply ignore them - without consequence. Why can't Alberta do the same? What's Trudeau going to do - invade us?

My thoughts too, I’m skeptical though about Kenney being the guy to stand up to Trudeau

CFO job

"Oh, you want some autonomy? Absolutely!!!! Take lunch ANY TIME between 12 and 1"

"Other than that, here is the agenda. Dont stray. If you dont know something, just ask your Liberal contact person. She will make something up"

Very good point.

The way I see it the Western Provinces have to be slightly more disobedient to the Liberals.

I don't think so Shawn - he has to say that he's a staunch federalist to survive. But I think he could be pursuing the 'Nation within a Nation' status that Quebec and 'First Nations' have achieved.

The CFO job was posted to the GOA site a few weeks back. Was only up for a week or so.

Thought I read in last months AO magazine that Alberta CFO has been selected. However Ottawa will not let provincal CFO confirm ANY ATC's etc. Must now go to Ottawa with last crap announced by the Turd.

That's extemely interesting. I'd like to do some follow up on that concept.
Would you care to share any sources for that idea?

People get hung up on their little policies and procedures forgetting we are humans and often rules for thee are not for me apply and happens all the time. I, therefore, agree completely. Nod our heads and ignore the SOBs.

Just Google; 'Harper, Nation within a nation'

I've never seen the 'simply ignore the federal gov't' approach in the media - not even in The Rebel material - but it's something Quebec has done .... forever, and what many of us do anyways. Example : Lots of us simply ignore federal firearm laws - we just do what's safe and reasonable, and ignore the stupid liberal antics, and the pathetic gestures of the conservatives that are too concerned with eastern votes to do the right thing. If we dumped the RCMP in this province, it would make it even easier for us to ignore idiotic Ottawa edicts. Our sheriff department could just nod, and ignore, - what's Ottawa going to do ?

Should we call each member of Kenny's 'Firearms Advisory Panel' and ask each member why , as a group, they advised Kenny to support and maintain a federal CFO that supports 'Confiscation' ?

Contacted GOA HR and it definitely isnt fake, but no response was provided as to why the job was discontinued. Have a call in to my MLA but dont expect them to get back to me, they rarely do. Was hoping someone might know why it was cancelled.

I noticed another head hunter website says that positon was closed 3 months ago.

Now whether or not closed means discontinued ??

I think the job has been filled. Announcment will come at a time which best fits the political climate of the day, whether Federal or Provinical.

This is not as simple as 1 job. Every employee, including Firearms Officers in the NWT, were under the Alberta CFO and were Federal government employees. All the buildings and offices were federal leased. All the office equipment and vehicles were federal owned. Policy and procedures have to established and adopted for the new provincial CFO program. If anyone thought this was going to be a quick, easy, and cheap option, they are sorely mistaken.

My guess is typical "fair" government hiring process. Appear to have fair hiring, advertise job, then put in your origional political croney already had slated for the job. If it is a relative even better! AO magazine had story position has been filled couple months back.
