Just as we did for the 8 day hearing in the federal court, we had VP of Public Relations, Tracey Wilson sitting in the Appeals court on Dec 9 & 10 2024, live-tweeting a play by play of the proceedings. Due to courtroom rules we were not able to record or broadcast the 2-day Appeal hearing so this will be a living story telling of the action from the courtroom. You can find those tweets HERE. Official transcripts will be available at some point and we will provide them, but for now this is the best we can do.

First, we’ll begin with some context to help it make sense. Below is a list of acronyms she used in these tweets so you can decipher what she’s referring to:

AG = Attorney General

AGC = Attonry General of Canada

OIC = Order in Council

CC = Criminal Code

FA = Firearms Act

GIC = Governor In Council

RIAS = Regulatory Impact Assessment Statement

CFP = Canadian Firearms Program

FRT = Firearms Reference Table

The Players: a who’s who of people referenced in my tweets and what their role was.

The good guys first:

Miller: Sarah Miller, counsel for the CCFR case, JSS Barristers

Bouchalev: Arkadi Bouchalev, counsel for Doherty case, from Bouchalev law

Meehan: Eugene Meehan, co-counsel for Eichenberg case, Supreme Advocacy LLP

Slade: Thomas Slade, co-counsel for Eichenberg case, Supreme Advocacy LLP

Generoux: Christine Generoux, self represented applicant, Generoux Case

AB AG: Alberta Attorney General, intervenor

SK AG: Saskatchewan Attorney General, intervenor

Now the not-so-good guys (Government lawyers):

Milne, McKinnon, “Lawyer”, Bond

Murray Smith (Government witness)
