100% agree. The CCFR has been amazing. But when you’re the focus of the entire gun control movement in Canada and when firearms and property rights are already on thin ice, there has to be more professionalism and class in each and every step, including every post, interview, etc. Tracey is just simply not vibing the way Rod does, and it really shows IMHO. I hate to say it, but I really think she detracts from the overall positive image of the CCFR. Too late to do anything about this now though.
The worst part of the CCFR is the whiners who don’t or barely contribute while shitting on the people who dedicate their lives to stopping the govt. confiscation scheme.
I kind of agree. Kind of. Well-meaning constructive criticism shouldn't be shut down and discouraged. If it's meant to build a stronger organization and community for our cause, that's a good thing right? Otherwise it's just top down directives, "We know what's best. Just sit down and shut up." stuff. The exact kind of thing a lot of us complain about from all levels of government.
Yes, like the whiners who refused to support the S74 applications in 2020 - 2022 and are now talking about how all the people suing the government in SK (per the new legislation there) will cause big problems for the government.
Don't care about how she looks, just what she says. I like when she live tweets government proceedings. I don't like when she posts own the libs style unhinged bullshit on social media and makes us look like a bunch of dumb fucking rednecks.
What she says and does is more important than appearances. Her general efforts aren't the worst, but a lot of her social media presence is Poly level caustic in some respects and doesn't really do the community any favours.
Well that would only be anecdotal, and even then, only representative of the neighbourhood groups you checked and only on FB. Essentially a self selected sub group, of a sub group of a sub group. All filtered through ones personal bias with absolutely no controls. Hardly an accurate way to judge 10's of millions of people.
Unfortunately I agree. It serves a purpose. I don't like AI generated messaging but can't deny it quickly and cheaply gets the message the CCFR was trying to deliver. Job done
More of a limited pool of money for things like challenges in the SCC
It's hilarious that I keep seeing broad generalizations of Boomers. Some here say Boomers hate AI slop, others say the exact opposite. Like I said hilarious. I used to work in a place dominated by Boomers, they had some pretty strong and dim views of other generations, including me.
I never understood then and still don't get how people can believe in categorizing millions of people based on their year of birth. It's more likely that kind of thinking more accurately reflects personal bias than broadly fact based reality.
Well, yeah those people exist. But it's not the same people. The comments section in this thread and many other c/gun threads is filled with the same generalizations. You'd think people who're being marginalized and criminalized unfairly would be less likely to do it themselves.
Most people really don't like obvious AI slop. It shows laziness and always comes off cheap.
This is coming from a guy who uses local image generators for DnD characters. So I'm not against it fully. It has uses but poor looking crap gets blasted everywhere. Usually by people with terrible takes.
Litterally just googling to try to find a replacement part for one thats been discontinued, and the AI suggested a direct replacement available through another company. Looked up the specs and it was not at all compatible, in fact it probably would catch fire if it was used. Thats one of many reasons that I hate AI, it gives incorrect information with 100% confidence.
Yeah, agreed, but come on. We've all dealt with people in real life doing the exact same. Hell, too many of the people I reported to at work were like that.
People using AI as the all knowing OZ, their digital "partner" or totally unbiased arbiter of absolute truth are a lot of the problem.
If used as a tool to narrow down or suggest a field of search on a topic, that's probably mostly fine. But anyone would be a fool to rely on that without verifying and triple checking from other sources.

Hey now, don't go reminding me about the worst parts of the CCFR...
