CANSEC Arms Fair Bars Multiple Independent Journalists From Attending

QUOTE: “Your media organization does not meet the CADSI Eligibility Requirements.”

by Alex Cosh - The Maple - May 26, 2026

EXCERPT: "The Maple applied for media accreditation for this year’s CANSEC, but received an email from CADSI’s press team explaining that: “We have reviewed your application and have declined it for the following reasons [...] Your media organization does not meet the CADSI Eligibility Requirements.”

CADSI did not respond to questions from The Maple asking for details about its eligibility requirements and why it believes The Maple did not meet them. The Maple requested the decision to be reviewed, but heard nothing further from CADSI.

On its media registration page, CANSEC states: “New media applicants are reviewed on a case-by-case basis, and the accreditation decisions are final. CANSEC is a private event and organizers reserve the right to deny accreditation.” . . . . "
