Blue Jays pitcher Erik Swanson defends hunting post with son and dead geese

Toronto Blue Jays relief pitcher Erik Swanson posted a photo on his social media that showed him posing with his son alongside more than a dozen dead Canada geese.

“Starting the off-season outdoors!,” he captioned the divisive Instagram photo, which was shot in Roseau, Minnesota.

Many fans were not pleased with some blasting Swanson while others defended the player.

Toronto internet news site, blogTO, wrote a story titled 'Toronto Blue Jays pitcher poses with pile of dead Canada geese he shot with his kid.'

Swanson responded saying, "I am an avid hunter/fisherman and I will always be. For the people who are asking me why I have my son with me, I am teaching him a very important life lesson… the beef, venison, poultry, fish, fruits and vegetables all come from somewhere, not just the grocery store."

LILLEY: Trudeau's gun ban extension shows it was always about politics

On May 1, 2020, Justin Trudeau told the Canadian people he was banning the legal possession of thousands of legally owned guns to keep our streets safe.

Last week, his government extended the amnesty for legal gun owners to keep those very same rifles and shotguns until Oct. 30, 2025.

For those keeping track, that means the government has no plans to deal with the guns they said were so dangerous they must be seized until five and half years after they banned them.

Not that any thinking person believed that Trudeau’s announcement in May 2020 would actually improve public safety. As usual, Trudeau was using a tragedy to play politics with legal gun owners, something those of us paying attention had seen again and again.

Canada not tracking 3D printed guns

Canadian law enforcement isn't currently tracking the number of 3D printed guns used in crimes. Police have been seizing more of the weapons in crimes, but there's no national-level data available on the emerging criminal phenomenon.

Fatal bear attack spurs conversation on guns for self-defence in national parks

A double fatal grizzly bear attack in Banff National Park emphasizes the need to review the ban on guns for self-defence in Canada’s national parks, a firearm rights group says.

National Parks wildlife regulations forbid firearm use in Banff, despite risks posed to hikers and campers by animals such as bears, cougars and coyotes.

The Sept. 29 deaths of campers Doug Inglis and Jenny Gusse aren’t the first and won’t be the last, according to Canadian Coalition for Firearm Rights spokesperson Tracey Wilson.

“It amplifies the necessity for Canadians to be able to protect themselves against wildlife,” she says. “We have the tools and the technology to protect ourselves. We just don’t have the legal ability to do so.”

LILLEY UNLEASHED: Trudeau plays politics again with gun ban

Brian Lilley, Sun political columnist, talks about the ongoing Trudeau gun ban - or control - and using it for political gain. And is the PM using it as a wedge issue as he extends the gun amnesty.

GUN BAN FAIL: Toronto man facing 17 firearm and drug-related charges

A 26-year-old man is facing almost 20 charges after he was arrested carrying a loaded gun in downtown Toronto.

Police say just after 10:30 p.m. Saturday night they were made aware of a man in possession of a firearm in the area of Yonge and Dundas Streets.

Investigators located the man and placed him under arrest. A search revealed he was in possession of a loaded Waffenfabrik Mauser firearm with five rounds of ammunition. Police also found a quantity of drugs on the man.

Tyler Williams-Dennis is facing a total of 17 charges including eight different firearms-related offences, five counts of drug possession and failure to comply with a release order.

At the time of the arrest, Williams-Dennis was prohibited from carrying a gun.

Le club de tir l’Élite dans une série YouTube

Prouver qu’il est possible de pratiquer le tir et d’en faire une activité amusante dans un cadre totalement réglementaire, c’est le souhait de Jean-Pierre Otis, président du club de tir l’Élite de Baie-Comeau. Il espère aussi que la visite spéciale qu’il a reçue en octobre lui permettra la promotion de ses activités. 

Ce sera par une série sur la plateforme YouTube que M. Otis veut démontrer tout ce qu’il a à offrir au club de tir. Le producteur de contenu vidéo Pierre Rioux possède une chaîne YouTube, intitulée Tir et survie, dans laquelle il présentera une tournée des clubs de tir au Québec. 

« Ils ont pris beaucoup de prises de vue de l’endroit », explique M. Otis, content de pouvoir utiliser une autre plateforme pour promouvoir son club. « Au départ, c’est Mathieu Dugas qui a amené l’idée. Mathieu est un membre et il fait des vidéos YouTube sur la survie en forêt », explique M. Otis. En effet, M. Dugas possède aussi la chaîne Survivaliste du nord.

« Je tiens à ce que ce soit 100 % sécuritaire et 100 % selon les règles de sécurité du club. […] Je ne veux rien de compromettant », ajoute-t-il, concernant les vidéos réalisées sur le terrain, comme pour les activités de tous les jours. Il assure que cela lui fait plaisir de recevoir cette visite, mais que les vidéos soient réalisées de façon adéquate. 

Lors de la fin de semaine du 14 octobre, Jean-Pierre Otis a aussi reçu Walter Ferguson, de la chaîne YouTube Catus Nebulosa, sa conjointe Marie Christine Gagnon et Sophie Béland, du podcast Au pas de tir et représentante de la Coalition canadienne pour le droit des armes à feu.

Cette dernière a été grandement impressionnée des installations, selon M. Otis : « Elle a voulu visiter notre club et elle a capoté ! Elle a trouvé que c’était un des plus beaux clubs au Québec. »
