People don't care about the F-15....it was money NOT spent, it touches no one personally, and when the A-G report came out, the gov't moved immediately to repair the process.
The issue will be dead in a month.
The registry actually cost a couple of billion, touched the lives of millions of Canadians, and absolutely refused to die for 17 years.
Big difference.
And that is why CWB is on the forefront. We won't know how much this will impact the producer until late this year. $25 to register a gun is bupkiss compared to losing thousands to freight and condo fees.
Honestly, you'd think that even a person who wanted to reintroduce the long-gun registry would think twice about reintroducing it short of a non-partisan bill supported by all parties, considering the risk of a see-saw series of reintroductions and recancellations otherwise. That alone would likely cause even many proponents-in-principle of the registry to shy away from any candidate who promises to reintroduce it in the absence of non-partisan support from many MPs across the board beyond a simple party-majority.
Another thing to consider is that with many Quebec electors having been hoodwinked by MPs who'd never even visited their ridings prior to the last election, we can be sure that they'll probably be paying somewhat less attention to parties and mor to their candidates next election, thus giving all candidates more of a run for their money, which might be a good thing.

One could also easily say that voting in the Conservatives was also a protest vote against another Minority Government..... the Liberals royally screwed up, and the NDP didn't yet have enough seats to boost them above what the Cons already had, but they had enough to come pretty close. The Cons gained 23 seats while the NDP gained 67 seats, which is pretty damn good.
Well Layton continually talked about pulling out of Afghanistan for years, yet it never happened. It's just another boogyman tactic to try and make them sound evil.
I might..... I'd love to get into a debate with Harper and run him into the ground on his nonsense.
That's one thing that always made me laugh..... there needs to be a "Clear Majority" on a "Clear Question", yet they don't really explain "Clearly" what a "Clear Majority" or a "Clear Question" is..... thus whether or not something is "Clear" is subjective as hell and determined by those in power.
Yeah, Rich.... that's why I moved to another country to get a better pay with a better future in my job so I could finally start a family.
And Free?
Another subjective term that's not reall "Clearly" defined.
Besides the obvious example of the USSR, I'd like to see a few examples of what you mean..... one example such as the USSR or other Communist Dictatorships that don't impliment Democracy at the same time are not very good examples.
Nobody seems to be these days.
Conservative depending on where you live in the country...... the only time the country becomes mostly Conservative is when Canadians get fed up with the previous government.... then they'll get sick of the Conservatives, vote another party in, and become more Liberal/Etc..... and then when they get sick of them, it switches back.
Canadians aren't Liberal, Conservative or NDP or even Bloc.... in reality, Canadians are whatever doesn't piss them off at the moment.
I keep seeing references to the gains made by the NDP as opposed to those of the CPC. Just wondering what the left's take would be if the CPC had 90+% of their seats in one province and virtually all of their gains. Lets say also that particular province had a long history of sucking more than their share out of the federal welfare teat. What would the lefties say? I mean other than running around alternating between yelling "free lunch" and "the sky is falling'?
In Walter's mind, all farmers embrace privatization just like we all truly believe a "free market" is good for us. :lol:
Farms already are private MF. I hope Wally is prepared to pick up the extra cost to get grain to the free market. When beer goes up $2 a doz we'll hear a lot more complaining..
On the west coast almost no one even knows what the whet board is except a few rich retirees from the east. Whereas most of us have hunting rifles and deeply resent the LGR intrusion into our lives.
Unless you work in the ports. Grain is a steady consistant dollar for the Port of Vancouver. If it were to go by the wayside, you'd hear about it big time.
I havent watched the video yet but Im not surprised if it was underwhelming (what I consider Stephan Dion to be).
