Threats?
As reported tonight by the Globe and Mail....Threatening messages against the company , bidding to overseeing the gun buy back program, supposedly by gun advocates ,has forced them to withdraw. ? Posting the mangers address of her house and cottage. Nasty stuff!

Pretty sure FM is correct as this has nothing to do with the initial failed attempt at a buy back program. This was for a much smaller 60K contract related to personnel management.Originally Posted by impact

If it is fake news CCFR will let us know as their people are quoted in the story.

Thanks for the clarification. I just letting you know that I got today’s story on my Globe feed.
They already did, fake. They do alot of positions for the gov't and one job posting was a PM for the gun seizure project. The "threats" in question seemed to revolve around I.T. staff postings saying they would never deal with Altis again. Altis does seem to get alot of sole-sources positions when I looked at the gov't listing page showing the contractors positions filled. Then you get Justlied and Bill involved and truth goes out the window but here is the CCFR response.

Fake ?How about the threats, were they fake. Seems like she had to address them.The Globe put the story out today and she addressed it? How is that fake? Obviously the threats scared the company enough to bow out of the contact. Who in their right mind thinks that is the right way to fight the bill. It will only fuel the anti s.

“It is unacceptable that the gun lobby has promoted threats, intimidation and harassment of people who are just trying to do their jobs,” said Mary-Liz Power, a spokeswoman for Mr. Blair. “This is reckless and completely unacceptable.”
I would say 98% of it is lies based on the past performance of Bill "I won't tell the truth no matter what" Blair
Some posts I saw said they would never use the company again, I am sure they would call that threats and although something I think is inappropriate the posting of her address ... well that ranks up there with the protests outside Ford's house etc.

Boy oh boy you just can’t stick to the original story. You just have to direct the narrative away from the Globe story which mentioned unacceptable threats. Read it, and tell me , that behaviour is acceptable.

So from CCFR's FB post we know the contract was cancelled today due to "blowback."
No specifics on what that blowback specifically entailed. Was her phone number and address actually posted somewhere or not? Was the line "you know what to do" actually coupled with her name and address? If it was that to me is a veiled threat.
The FB post seems to be lacking any specifics actually needed to prove/disprove the media story.

Guilty as charged. Tracey Wilson admitted there were threats and but refuses any responsibility despite posting pictures of employees and calling it the "the company hired to take your guns." Even after her half-hearted climb down she threatens that "business will change" for companies involved in the program.
WTF did she think would happen when she did that?
Tracey Wilson, CCFR’s vice-president of public affairs, posted pictures of employees of AltisHR, referring to it as “the company hired to take your guns.”
Ms. Tremblay believes the gun-control opponents confused her relatively small contract with the much-larger tender to advise on the design and implementation of the buy-back program, something many in the firearms community equate to illegal government confiscation.
“Placing a temp is not equivalent to running a buy-back program,” Ms. Tremblay said. “That was a misunderstanding, I’d say.”
To avoid the vitriol, Ms. Tremblay cancelled the contract on Dec. 8 and wrote a message on LinkedIn clarifying the company’s position: “We are not involved in a firearms buy-back program, and have no part in it.”
Ms. Wilson said that when she saw some of the more extreme posts, she tried to “call off the dogs” and phoned Ms. Tremblay for more detail on her company’s role. “We had a good conversation,” Ms. Wilson said. “I told her that threats should be forwarded to law enforcement. I take that seriously.”
She also asked her social-media followers to cease any threats against Altis.
“I didn’t ask for that response, I didn’t expect it, I was shocked by it and I called it out,” said Ms. Wilson of the negative posts, many of which have since been deleted. “I don’t condone the way things went down. That’s not what the CCFR stands for.”
At the same time, she said, companies should recognize the political risks of working on the firearms ban. “When somebody takes that contract,” she said, “business will change for them.”
