We had an awesome time last night at the Hunters Meet & Greet event in the City of Windsor where the future Prime Minister of Canada, Pierre Poilievre stopped by!

NATIONAL FLAG DAY | Feb 15, 2024
National Flag of Canada Day commemorates the official birth of the Maple Leaf Flag, installed on February 15th, 1965. Canadians celebrate the day by wearing red and white, raising their flag high and paying tribute to the big leaf!

Overdose deaths | Feb 13, 2024
One year post the Liberal-NDP drug decriminalization, BC reports record-high drug overdose deaths at 2,511. Dangerous drug costs drop by 70 to 95%, now the top cause of death, surpassing crime, accidents, and disease combined. Yet, the Liberal-NDP coalition persists, exacerbating the crisis. Common sense Conservatives will not give up on Canadians suffering from addiction. A Poilievre Government will bring home our loved ones drug free by giving them access to treatment and recovery, not more taxpayer-funded deadly drugs. Recovery is possible.
