Airbnb Pledges $300,000 to Group Campaigning Against PAL Holders

Airbnb Inc. just became one of Canada’s top activists against hunters, farmers and sport shooters.

The U.S. lodging company pledged $300,000 to Canadian Doctors for Protection From Guns, which lobbies the government to ban guns from the country’s 2.2 million adults with a federal firearm licence.

“I view this partnership — it’s a three-year partnership — really as a first step,” Chris Lehane, San Francisco-based Airbnb’s head of policy, said at a press conference in Toronto today. CP24 shared a video of the briefing.
