Over 5,500 convention delegates from across Canada will meet virtually to discuss policies and vote for a new National Council. The CPC National Council is responsible for overseeing the management of all party affairs except for the raising and spending of party funds, which is overseen by the Conservative Fund. The membership of the National Council and Conservative Fund are volunteer positions.<\/p>\n<p>Given that there will likely be a federal election called sometime this year, and stricter gun controls will be a major Liberal election plank, it is very important to embattled law abiding Canadian firearms owners that are also CPC members to have pro-gun rights councillors representing them on National Council.<\/p>\n<p>Canada&#8217;s National Firearms Association is always deeply involved with every CPC Policy Convention and routinely engages in the process to promote pro-gun policies and support aspiring councillor candidates that openly help advance the cause of gun rights in Canada.<\/p>\n<p>This 2021 Virtual Conservative Policy Convention is no different. The NFA has once again worked hard to develop and move firearms policies to the convention and has interviewed most of the CPC National councillor candidates to assess their views on gun rights in Canada.<\/p>\n<p>Only those candidates deemed most ardent and knowledgeable supporters of law-abiding Canadian firearms owners were formally endorsed. NFA endorsed National Council candidates are marked * and cited below to assist CPC &#8216;gunny&#8217; convention delegates cast an informed vote.<\/p>\n<p>See <a href=\"https:\/\/cpc21.ca\">https:\/\/cpc21.ca<\/a> for more convention information.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How does voting for 2021 National Council work?<\/strong><br \/>\nVoting for provincial National councillors starts at 12:00 pm on Friday, March 19th.<br \/>\nConvention delegates will receive another email ballot at that time<br \/>\nDelegates must fill out the exact number of choices for their province.<br \/>\nThe voting link will expire at 3:00pm on Friday, March 19th.<br \/>\nDelegates who missed the initial round of voting can vote on Saturday from 12:00pm to 3:00pm<\/p>\n<p><strong>2021 National Council Election Schedule<\/strong><br \/>\nThursday March 18, 2021 @ 1:00 PM EDT \u2013 National Council Candidate Speeches<br \/>\nFriday March 19, 2021 @ 12:00 PM EDT \u2013 Voting Open for National Council Election (until 3:00 PM)<br \/>\nSaturday March 20, 2021 @ 10:15 AM EDT \u2013 Retiring National Councillors Thank You<br \/>\nSaturday March 20, 2021 @ 3:30 PM EDT \u2013 National Council Election Results<\/p>\n<p><strong>2021 National Council candidates<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Newfoundland and Labrador<\/strong> (one seat available)<\/p>\n<p>Patrick Hanlon<br \/>\nJudy Manning * NFA Endorsed<\/p>\n<p><strong>Quebec<\/strong> (3 Seats Available)<\/p>\n<p>Valerie Assouline<br \/>\nMatthew Conway * NFA \/ Guy Morin Endorsed<br \/>\nJeff Joseph<br \/>\nEmile Mercier<br \/>\nJimmy Yu<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ontario<\/strong> (four seats available)<\/p>\n<p>Pete Aarssen * NFA Endorsed<br \/>\nShir Barzilay<br \/>\nBert Chen<br \/>\nJason Gorel * NFA Endorsed<br \/>\nKara Johnson<br \/>\nStewart Kiff * NFA Endorsed<br \/>\nMary MacNeill * NFA Endorsed<br \/>\nJennifer Snell<br \/>\nMatthijs van Gaalen<br \/>\nMichael Wilson<br \/>\nBruce Yu<br \/>\nGhada Malek<\/p>\n<p><strong>Saskatchewan<\/strong> (one seat available)<\/p>\n<p>Tom Harrison * NFA Endorsed<br \/>\nColette Stang * NFA Endorsed<\/p>\n<p><strong>Alberta<\/strong> (two seats available)<\/p>\n<p>Pam Davidson * NFA Endorsed<br \/>\nSteven Dollansky<br \/>\nGord Elliott<br \/>\nAmber Ruddy<br \/>\nCynthia Williams<br \/>\nDebra Janzen<\/p>\n<p><strong>British Columbia<\/strong> (two seats available)<\/p>\n<p>Robert Boyd * NFA Endorsed<br \/>\nMani Fallon<br \/>\nLarry Gray * NFA Endorsed<br \/>\nFritz Radandt<br \/>\nDaniel Tidball<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The 2021 Conservative National Convention will be taking place this week online from March 18 to 20 2021.
