News / Politics / Activism Feds Won't Block Supreme Court Interveners

Post image

The Attorney General of Canada just informed the SCC it won't oppose the groups asking to join CCFR v. Canada as interveners, thereby allowing them to participate in the case.

This isn't a ruling on the merits, just the AGC declining to block their entry. Intervener status itself doesn't declare a side, but based on what these orgs publicly stand for, it's not hard to guess. To keep it simple, 11 of the 12 interveners are likely to side with the CCFR, against 1 which is explicitly on the government's side.

'The Coalition for Gun Control supports the Government of Canada’s Assault-Style Firearms Compensation Program (ASFCP) which is launching for individual firearms owners on January 19, 2026. While mass shootings are rare in Canada, when they do occur the firearms involved are often legally obtained and possessed by licensed owners.

Hopefully someone calls them out on their lies!
