The CCFR's Biggest PR Campaign.. Ever!
In June of 2020, the CCFR launched the largest public relations campaign on behalf of gun owners ever. It was comprised of 68 full pages of content in 17 newspapers across the country, a new explainer video and audio ads on Spotify, Apple Music and Google Music. Here in June 2021, the CCFR is eclipsing that project, by a significant margin. Our newest project is the CCFR Billboard Campaign.
The CCFR has the message "Can You Handle The Truth: Gundebate.ca", running on 66 electronic billboards across the entire country for the next three months. This project includes yet another redevelopment of gundebate.ca. This overhaul greets visitors with a compelling, two-minute video by our own Matt Magolan to tell people what the issues really are. As well, the site is populated with our explainer videos, our television shows and other information the public should be interested in. Regular updates and improvements will be made to gundebate.ca throughout the campaign. If we find we're getting enough traffic to the site, the CCFR is prepared to renew the campaign for an additional 3 months. Check out all the locations of these signs at the bottom of this post.

Why are we doing this?
As a community we need to relentlessly reach out to non-gun owning Canadians so they can understand that attacking licensed gun owners is not making us safer. Right now, the Liberal Government is literally demonizing gun owners, and using this division to create hyper partisan voters. We need to fight back by making a calm, accurate message available to those Canadians. Without the work of the CCFR, Canadians will have nothing to reference gun owners other than frustrated rhetoric and angry social media posts. They will continue to vote Liberal, because the Liberals have told them that there's no place in Canada for people like us. This is the real fight, and the CCFR needs your support to continue to wage it. If the Liberals win again, even a minority government, gun owners will lose more than ever before.
More details to come...
The billboards in this project are all electronic. The ad agency's algorithms are complex. There will be times when our ad is shown every two minutes and sometimes when it won't be shown that day. This can change on a daily basis. We're working with the agency to overcome this. But, in the interim, if you see the ad, and it's safe to do so, snap a picture of it, because...
Contest coming...
