Statement

This year started off generally well with the NFA well-positioned to take a strong role in influencing government policies prior to the election.  Our social media sites were poised to flood our supporters and interested persons with information on firearms related government policies and suggestions with actions to take.  The volunteer site administrators were working well together and generally all was progressing nicely towards a strong push on government bills.  We had intervened in two important Supreme Court of Canada cases with firearms rights ramifications, and were well positioned to gain as a result of our significant participation in both of them, were they to be victorious as we rightly expected that they would be.  In short, we were looking quite solid with good support from volunteers, and an enthusiastic group of new directors.  

In early June, the NFA will be heading to New York to make a brief presentation on ISACS and to observe the discussions on UN attempts to go after more civilian arms rights in the Programme of Action Second Meeting of Government Experts, hosted at UNHQ June 1-5, 2015.  The NFA has been working on getting consulting status for ECOSOCS/UN.  This will mark our eighth year of attending UN meetings.

Things changed dramatically after Shawn Bevins was terminated for cause.  Mr. Bevins’ termination was duly preceded by a full course of progressive disciplinary action for several matters related to his self-acknowledged drinking problem, failure to provide receipts, misuse of the NFA credit card, and undermining of executive officers.    He was duly counselled, warned, given two letters of reprimand, and then terminated.   His termination prompted subsequent demands by a group of 5 directors to have him reinstated.    At the same time, these five directors sued the NFA, ostensibly to compel the production of corporate records which are freely available to them.  In parallel with such legal action, the NFA president and other executive officers and others have been attacked on social media, and defamed by several individuals reacting and speculating without cause or evidence.  That situation was clearly in evidence in the failed attempt to make the president quit at the recent AGM in Quebec City.

The NFA has lost credibility, income, and donations because of this public spectacle.  Nothing justifies the behaviour of those directors who conspired to hold a coup, and then followed it up by muckraking on social media, and curtailing our formerly highly effective Facebook marketing program by removing the duly constituted administrators.    They chose to initiate an unnecessary court action which the NFA was forced to defend against.  The executive has every reason to believe that this situation is the reason why some of our proposed amendments to Bill C-42 were ignored, in spite of initially being favourably received.  In other words, those actions have damaged our organization, its reputation, and our ability to carry out our main function – of changing firearms law. In their desire to take control of the NFA, they have shown a total lack of scruples and no consideration for the long term damage that they are inflicting upon this organization.  

The conspiracy to take over the AGM in Quebec City was clearly driven by misplaced motives of loyalty to Mr.Bevins and false assumptions of wrong-doing that have only served to damage our cause.  The misuse of the NFA logo and proprietary logos has also caused the NFA to be exposed to risk at unapproved events which claim to be NFA activities, but which are continued actions designed to disrupt and destabilize the NFA and its leadership.

The NFA has had its financial records reviewed by an accountant annually since 2010.  While not a full audit, this financial review process has been acceptable to the membership and directors since its inception in 2010.  The reason for this process in the early years was quite simply to save the cost of a full audit, and yet maintain a reasonable third party check on the operations of our financial staff.  As reported to the directors, the executive instructed the general manager to obtain quotes for, and conduct a formal audit of NFA finances for the preceding two years.  

The consensus of our last directors’ meeting prior to March was that a full formal audit instead of the financial review as conducted previously was necessary at this point, particularly with so many new and inexperienced directors being recently elected or acclaimed to the board, and all were canvassed as to who the auditor should be.  The five that responded all approved KPMG, which was contracted to conduct the audit.  KPMG advised us that it would only be necessary to audit 2013 and 2014, and tie that to our Notice to Reader unaudited financial review from 2012.  This audit has now been completed, and permits a full picture of our financial situation which should hopefully ease the concerns of anyone who has conjectured that there was anything amiss in the NFA.  The results of this audit were provided to directors at the AGM and presented to the members in the treasurer’s report.  It is worth emphasizing that no improprieties whatsoever were unearthed by the auditors, because none exist.

In short, there is nothing amiss with the NFA management, or its finances, and the auditor’s report is proof of that fact.  It is available in the office to view, but before being officially called audited the statements must be approved and certified.  Your executive will continue to work towards the best interests of the NFA.

Si quelqu'un n'ayant pas de problème en anglais pourrait traduire ou donné les grandes lignes ( Je n'ai pas confiance à Google Traduction pour bien saisir l'esprit d'un texte comme celui-là!) ce serait apprécié.

J'avais lu vite "NFA stationnement" ... Un peu déçu !!



Bleu9mm

Ecoute, je ne vais pas te faire une traduction exhaustive mais, essentiellement, c'est de la marde où SC se la pète et vante le fait d'avoir chassé M. Bevins, bla, bla, bla...

Très mensonger comme statement...

Si ça aurait été le cas, je l'aurai posté dans le "thread" "stationnement Dante" pour le gonfler!

Je m'en doutais bien et j'approuve ta réponse.

The volunteer site administrators were working well together and generally all was progressing nicely towards a strong push on government bills.

In short, we were looking quite solid with good support from volunteers, and an enthusiastic group of new directors.

Cette année, on a été hot, nous avons défendu 2 causes à la cour supreme, et on va continuer. En gros, nous avons besoin de volontaires enthousiastes.

In early June, the NFA will be heading to New York to make a brief presentation on ISACS and to observe the discussions on UN attempts to go after more civilian arms rights in the Programme of Action Second Meeting of Government Experts, hosted at UNHQ June 1-5, 2015. The NFA has been working on getting consulting status for ECOSOCS/UN. This will mark our eighth year of attending UN meetings.

Nous sommes allé à l'ONY pour défendre le non au traité su rles armes.

Things changed dramatically after Shawn Bevins was terminated for cause. Mr. Bevins’ termination was duly preceded by a full course of progressive disciplinary action for several matters related to his self-acknowledged drinking problem, failure to provide receipts, misuse of the NFA credit card, and undermining of executive officers. He was duly counselled, warned, given two letters of reprimand, and then terminated. His termination prompted subsequent demands by a group of 5 directors to have him reinstated. At the same time, these five directors sued the NFA, ostensibly to compel the production of corporate records which are freely available to them. In parallel with such legal action, the NFA president and other executive officers and others have been attacked on social media, and defamed by several individuals reacting and speculating without cause or evidence. That situation was clearly in evidence in the failed attempt to make the president quit at the recent AGM in Quebec City.

Mais les choses ont changés dramatiquement suite au départ de shawn Bevins. Ce départ à été précédé de nombreuses mesure disciplinaire due à son alcolisme, refus de présenter des factures, mauvaise utilisation de la carte corporative et traficotage avec les directeurs. Il a été averti, et finalement remercié. Suite a ca, 5 directeurs ont demandé qu'il soit repris. En meme temps, ils ont demandé des états financiers déjà disponible. Parallellement le pauvre SC à été attaqué avec de la diffamation sur les réseaux sociaux. Cela à été mis en évidence avec la tentative ratée de putch à AGA à québec.

The NFA has lost credibility, income, and donations because of this public spectacle. Nothing justifies the behaviour of those directors who conspired to hold a coup, and then followed it up by muckraking on social media, and curtailing our formerly highly effective Facebook marketing program by removing the duly constituted administrators. They chose to initiate an unnecessary court action which the NFA was forced to defend against. The executive has every reason to believe that this situation is the reason why some of our proposed amendments to Bill C-42 were ignored, in spite of initially being favourably received. In other words, those actions have damaged our organization, its reputation, and our ability to carry out our main function – of changing firearms law. In their desire to take control of the NFA, they have shown a total lack of scruples and no consideration for the long term damage that they are inflicting upon this organization.

La NFA a perdu de la crédibilité, de l'argent et des dons avec ce spectacle. Rien ne justifiait cette attitude en fourant les réseaux sociaux, et courcircuitant Facebook. Ils ont initié une futile action en justice. A cause de ca, les amendement à c42 n'ont pas été retenus. Autrement dit, ces conneries ont fait mal à la NFA. Et ce putch raté, tenté sans scrupule et considération pour personne.

The conspiracy to take over the AGM in Quebec City was clearly driven by misplaced motives of loyalty to Mr.Bevins and false assumptions of wrong-doing that have only served to damage our cause. The misuse of the NFA logo and proprietary logos has also caused the NFA to be exposed to risk at unapproved events which claim to be NFA activities, but which are continued actions designed to disrupt and destabilize the NFA and its leadership.

(Préparez vous, le meilleur est ici:) La consipiration pour prendre le controle de l'AGA à québec à été clairement préparée par loyauté a Shawn et les fausse pensée que SC et sa gang ne faisait pas la bonne chose. Le logo et autre ont étés utilisés sans autorisation à quelques évenement non autorisés, qui avaient pour but de déstabiliser la NFA et surtout son leadership. (C'est quoi, il aurait fallu faire des compromis)

The NFA has had its financial records reviewed by an accountant annually since 2010. While not a full audit, this financial review process has been acceptable to the membership and directors since its inception in 2010. The reason for this process in the early years was quite simply to save the cost of a full audit, and yet maintain a reasonable third party check on the operations of our financial staff. As reported to the directors, the executive instructed the general manager to obtain quotes for, and conduct a formal audit of NFA finances for the preceding two years.

Bla bla bla sur les états financiers.

The consensus of our last directors’ meeting prior to March was that a full formal audit instead of the financial review as conducted previously was necessary at this point, particularly with so many new and inexperienced directors being recently elected or acclaimed to the board, and all were canvassed as to who the auditor should be. The five that responded all approved KPMG, which was contracted to conduct the audit.

The results of this audit were provided to directors at the AGM and presented to the members in the treasurer’s report.

Autre bla bla bla...

In short, there is nothing amiss with the NFA management, or its finances, and the auditor’s report is proof of that fact. It is available in the office to view, but before being officially called audited the statements must be approved and certified. Your executive will continue to work towards the best interests of the NFA.

En gros, il n'y a rien de mauvais dans le management de la NFA, ou dans ses finances. SC pis sa gang vont continuer à travailler fort dans l'intéret de la NFA.

Fait plaisir.

La pierre angulaire de tout ca...

c' est ceci :


Mais les choses ont changés dramatiquement suite au départ de shawn Bevins. Ce départ à été précédé de nombreuses mesure disciplinaire due à son alcolisme, refus de présenter des factures, mauvaise utilisation de la carte corporative et traficotage avec les directeurs. Il a été averti, et finalement remercié.


A savoir, si c' est vrai ou non !

Bien des choses ne sont pas cute, d'un coté ou de l'autre.. moi ce n'est plus mon problème

Ca, il y a juste SB et SC qui le savent...

Que ce soit vrai ou non, ça n'excuse pas le comportement despotique de Sheldon Clare, son refus de donner des états financiers claires et précis, son refus aux membres d'avoir les minutes des réunions passées, les bannissements et les "posts" effacés sur la page face de bouc de l'association pour ne nommer que cela.

Et, si comme dit appache, ce n'est pas cute d'un côté comme de l'autre, alors si ce n'est pas Shawn, il y en a d'autres.

Pourquoi pas Claude Colgan ou si S.C. est destitué et sorti de la NFA, il y a Rod Giltaca qui n'a pas pu se tailler un poste de directeur parce qu'il vient lui aussi de Colombie Britannique tout comme S.C.. Qu'est-ce que vous en pensez, j'aime bien ce qu'il dit sur son site: Civil Advantage (section politique)

Chose qui est sur, SI c'est pas vrais, il vient d'ouvrir la porte grande ouverte à des poursuites pour diffamation, accusation de fraude et plus i!i!

Mon feeling sur cette déclaration en image:

lol

gun guru non je ne suis plus impliquer dans aucun organisme..Seulement un tireur qui va se battre avec ses ressources. Tu vois le fais que les gens aille ou pas a la manif je men cr*****.. mais que la nfa est fait une campagne de peur sur la manif a été le dernier des clou dans le cerceuil pour moi

Ouin, c'te guéguerre là va leur couter trrrrrreeeessss cher au QC!!!

de toute facon plus rien nest de mon recour tout est en court comme vous le savez

Plus mon problèmr non plus !

J'ai switché CSSA pour l'assurance tireur, pis jfais mes propres efforts personnels comme tireur. J'initie du monde, j'introduis le principe du Black Gun a mon nouveau club en Nouvelle-Ecosse suite au demande du président.

Rien n'excuse l'attitude merdique de SC a l'AGM peu importe qui a tort ou raison.

Pour les fameux amendements a C-42, c'est du gros vent !!! Je demande des preuves des amendements qui auraieny supposément été soumis si la cause aurait bien été pour la NFA !!

Tant qu'a moi, pour ravoir mon membership, l'executig au grand complet de la NFA doit se faire flusher et une élection générale avec du sang frais doit se tenir.

Claude Colgan serait le candidat parfait, de même que le gars de Civil Advantage.
