You need to settle down. I would never get upset about a spelling Nazi. I think everybody except the spelling Nazis think that spelling Nazis embarrassed themselves.

Oh No!!!! Another red from Wally. Speak to me Wally!! I don't no what you want!! Is Trudeau good or bad? Please let me no what I have to say. I can't stand the thought of another red from you!!!

You almost had it there sport...



I'm the calmest dude on this board bro.

And I kinda hate to point it out to you again but it was your grammar I embarrassed you about, not your spelling. (oopsie)

You see, often times children get those two mixed up but that's ok, you keep trying your best and everything will be fine.

You also have that dramatic lash-out attention flair that some do in that you feel compelled to mention:

a) you got yourself a (yet another) red.

and

b) who it was that made you upset and why you think they did it.

But even an attention-whore (as we say in the industry) might think that eleven exclamation marks is getting kinda uppity.

I hope you have a better day little guy.

Negative ads work.

Sometimes. A couple of orthodoxies of campaign managers is that you can't win an election without negative ads and young people say they are going to vote but can't be relied upon to show up on election day.

Obama's original presidential campaign showed that you can win an election on the "hopey-changey" thing and you can can young people to vote. You have to use the negative ads as a weapon against the Conservatives--kind of a judo flip to turn their strength into a weakness. The Liberals have done this quite successfully, I think. The negative ads against Trudeau have not had much impact on Trudeau and have probably refelcted negatvely on theConservatives and the "Harper is petty and vindictive" meme.

Getting young peop;le to vote is a lot tougher. You need grassroots organizations across the coutnry to convince them of the urgency to vote, and to make sure they get to the polls come election day. In my opinion, this is really where Obama capitalized. Hopefully the Liberals can as well.

And I'm the alarmist? :lol:

Too funny I know. We had Pierre Trudeau at the helm for what 15 years? Fidel Castro and Joseph Stalin all rolled into one. I could have done without all the deficit spending but for the most part I think Canada's doing pretty good. The problem with people like Colpy, is that he doesn't understand the difference between politics and bureaucracy, which doesn't surprise me much because he doesn't understand a lot

Ask BHO if negatives ads work. He got a lot of young kids to vote for him.

Good grief. Another read from Walter. He must really be upset that I compared Trudeau to Castro and Stalin. Typical liberal that Wally

Another one!!! Help me out Wally. Do you like Trudeau or what?

That Stephen Harper’s priorities are not Canadians’ priorities was further confirmed on Wednesday, as Parliament debated the Conservative gun bill, C-42.
This legislation will place Canadians’ safety at risk. Not only will it take the power to classify firearms out of the hands of the police and put it in the hands of politicians like Stephen Harper, but it will greatly ease restrictions on the transport of handguns and automatic weapons so that they can be freely transported anywhere – from a grocery store to a soccer field to a school parking lot. We think Canadians agree this is wrong. That is why the Liberal Party of Canada cannot and will not support the bill.
We will not bring back a gun registry, but we do need smart and well-crafted gun control legislation. In its current form, C-42 is neither; instead it makes Canadians less safe.
As Liberals, we remain focused on building a strong team and plan for all Canadians. Thank you for your continued hope and hard work.
Justin Trudeau
Leader of the Liberal Party of Canada
The reply:

The government insists that, basically, C-42 removes layers of redundant firearms regulations without removing safeguards that protect the public from criminal use of guns.
But that hasn’t stopped the bombastic Liberal leader from predicting mayhem on Canada’s streets if the bill passes.
Wednesday, following the Liberals’ weekly caucus meeting, Trudeau insisted that should C-42 become the law assault rifles, machine guns and high-powered handguns would be commonplace “outside busy places like shopping malls, grocery stores and sports arenas.”
There is no possible interpretation of C-42 that supports Trudeau’s preposterous predictions.
Under the current licensing laws, introduced by the Liberals in 1995 at the same time they created the gun registry, a person who owns a “restricted” weapon must keep it securely locked in his or her home. If he or she wants to transport it, such as to a gun range or gun show, he or she not only needs a licence to possess the gun but also a separate ATT (authorization to transport).
The ATT requires the gun owner to lock his or her gun in the trunk, unloaded, and drive without stopping to an authorized destination using the most direct route possible.
It’s true that C-42 eliminates the need for law-abiding gun owners to have a separate ATT just to drive with their guns down to the nearest range for a little target practice.
Instead, any licensed firearms owner may use his or her licence like at ATT. A gun owner with valid licence to own a restricted weapon may transport it to any one of five types of locations within his or her home province – a registered gunsmith, shooting range, police station, exit point from Canada or licensed gun show.
But the meaningful rules in the old law still pertain: The gun must be in a locked case, unloaded and in a locked trunk. Also, the owner must use the most direct route and make no stops along the way.
So despite Trudeau’s fear-mongering, the parking lots at doughnut shops, supermarkets and minor hockey games will not be full of vehicles bristling with machine guns and automatic handguns. At least they won’t be any more bristling after C-42 is passed than they are now with the old Liberal rules still in place.
I’d give Trudeau credit for simply making this up to fan fears and drive voters to his party. But quite frankly, I don’t think he or his inner circle are that clever.
Instead, I think they are clueless about lawful firearms ownership and the threat it (doesn’t) pose to public safety. They really do believe that only thing standing between peaceful firearms ownership and shoot-ups in the streets are nanny state laws implemented by the enlightened minds of the Liberal Party.
It truly is the great number of things Trudeau thinks he knows, but which just aren’t so, that make him dangerous as a potential PM.

I have a prohibited license for military rifles converted from full auto to semi,. and others specifically built as semis but judged too easily converted, so I know what I am talking about.

I am not allowed to transport them anywhere. Full stop. Bill c-42 changes absolutely nothing, except one less piece of paper I have to carry to take my restricted (not prohib) weapons to the range........they must still be trigger locked, be in a locked container, be separate from any ammunition, and be transported directly to and from the range.

So, Liberals, tell me.....is Trudeau an idiot or a liar, or both??

I'm opting for option number three.
