12 to 1! A Major Turning Point? 🔥

In the latest update on the CCFR vs. Liberals court case, 13 new intervenors have joined—and 12 of them are standing on the side of gun owners and the CCFR, including the Attorney Generals of Alberta, Ontario, and Saskatchewan!

Only ONE group joined in support of the Liberal gun ban.

## Official-source anchors

- Supreme Court of Canada docket 41859: `Canadian Coalition for Firearm Rights, et al. v. Attorney General of Canada`.

- SCC Aug. 13, 2026 order: granted leave to intervene to several groups, granted Canada’s National Firearms Association in 41859, and dismissed the Canadian Taxpayers Federation motion.
- SCC docket lists 11 active interveners in 41859: Attorney General for Saskatchewan, Attorney General of Alberta, Attorney General of Ontario, Canadian Constitution Foundation, Canadian Shooting Sports Association, International Practical Shooting Confederation Canada, Safari Club International, Canadian Coalition for Gun Control, British Columbia Civil Liberties Association, Ontario Rifle Association, Canada’s National Firearms Association.

## Evidence limits

The Reel’s “12 to 1” / “13 new intervenors” framing is not adopted as a court finding. NewsForBC treats it as advocacy shorthand. The SCC docket confirms multiple interveners, but interveners are not parties with a formal win/loss vote and the SCC order says they are not entitled to express a position on the disposition of the appeal, raise new issues or supplement the record.
