In regard to the CCFR promo code, it needs to be pointed out that "POLY" isn't a reference to the Polytechnique massacre, it's a reference to the PolySeSouvient anti-gun activist group led by Nathalie Provost, a survivor of the massacre. PolySeSouvient have been dedicated antagonists of gun-owners in general and CCFR in particular for many years. (PolySeSouvient also seem to be the only "experts" the Liberals actually consulted in drafting C-21.)

What happened to Provost and her peers was horrific beyond imagination, but that doesn't make PolySeSouvient exempt from criticism or disagreement.   If they didn't want the memory of the victims of Dec 6. 1989 to be drawn into politics and controversy, maybe they should have named their political activist group something else.

Lol Jesus Christ listen to yourself here.

First: saying "acshually the promo code wasn't a reference to the massacre but to the group named after the massacre started by survivors of the massacre and the families of the victims" is a distinction without a difference.

Second: nothing wrong with criticizing or disagreeing with a political lobby group, but that's not the issue. The issue is the President's Choice-brand NRA using the group's name (which again is a direct reference to the massacre) to sell their shitty merch to divorced guys.
