Liberal Thinking: Death or injury to those who can't use martial arts or other non-lethal means of self-defense-- The young, the old, the infirm, the disabled, the weak, the small, and the pregnant--are simply the necessary sacrifice we must make to criminals, to avoid the risks of letting honest, law abiding people be armed. FIREARMS QUICK FACTS By Garry Breitkreuz, MP – Updated April 29, 2005
Here's what THOSE Officers say about this Gun Registry Farce

Another Murder Suspect Gets Bail. Critics are outraged that just one day after the shooting spree on Yonge St., Canada's "broken legal system" granted bail in Toronto to an alleged drug dealer accused of using a handgun to commit first-degree murder. "Getting bail on first-degree murder is so frustrating. It's incredible just after the Yonge St. shootings, which in many respects was predictable," said York Police Chief Armand LaBarge, a spokesman for the Ontario Association of Chiefs of Police. "We have to bring the pendulum back so there is accountability ... that's what we need. If you use a firearm you are going to jail and with a minimum sentence." On Monday, a hail of bullets were sprayed into Boxing Day shoppers on Yonge, killing 15-year-old Jane Creba and injuring six others. One day after that tragedy, 23-year-old Marcel Laframboise, who is charged with the first-degree murder of Adam Bender of Oshawa, was released from the Quinte Detention Centre on $50,000 bail approved by an appeal court judge in Toronto. (Now Mr. Martin!!! What the hell is the problem?? LEGAL HANDGUN OWNERS, OR A BROKEN LIBERAL JUST-US SYSTEM.. BAIL FOR 1st DEGREE MURDER... WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOUR HEAD??? CHRIST ALL MIGHTY, WE HAVE TO GET RID OF THESE BASTARDS... DISENFRANCHISED MY ASS!! WHERE WOULD THE DISENFRANCHISED GET 50 GRAND FOR BAIL?) HAPPY NEWYEAR!!! Canada Owes War Veterans C$4.6 Billion, Court Rules Dec. 30 (Bloomberg) -- The Canadian government owes disabled war veterans more than C$4.6 billion ($3.95 billion) because it failed to invest their savings and pensions properly, a judge in Windsor, Ontario, ruled. The judgment is the biggest ever awarded in Canada in a contested lawsuit, David Greenaway, a lawyer representing the veterans, said at a news conference in Toronto today. Beginning in 1920, the government assumed responsibility for the savings and pensions of veterans who returned from war disabled and unable to manage their money. The veterans were generally placed in institutions, and their money went into an account that paid no interest until 1990, Greenaway said. The government (READ LIBERALS) ``effectively took the veterans' money and put it in a sock and hid it under their mattress,'' Greenaway said. ``If this level of ineptitude and mismanagement had been committed by a corporation, heads would roll, investigations would follow, stock prices would crash.'' Christian Girouard, a spokesman in Canada's Department of Justice, said its lawyers are reviewing the decision and considering an appeal. Judge John Brockenshire yesterday ordered the government to put the C$4.6 billion into a special trust account. ``The funds in the specially designed trust account, together with pre-judgment and post-judgment interest, and the earnings of that fund shall be held intact, and separate from the general funds of the Government of Canada, pending the further orders of this court,'' Brockenshire said in a 30-page ruling. Interest on the amount will accrue at C$15 million to C$20 million a month, if the government chooses to appeal the award, Greenaway said. ``It appears to us that their strategy is to fight a war of attrition,'' Greenaway said of the government. They seem to want to ``grind this case out as long as they can until there are no veterans left alive.'' (The Liberals passed a law that said they could steal this money from the veterans, therefore what they did they considered by them to be legal! ANOTHER Liberal scandal that outlines their shear arrogance, fiscal incompetence and ineptitude.. DO YOUR PART TO SAVE CANADA ON JANUARY 23rd! GET RID OF THE LIBERALS ) Conservative crime plan fully-loaded The party has been examining approaches to the issue for release in a major platform announcement that includes consecutive sentences for those committing more than one violent crime. That would mean more time behind bars for violent offenders by restricting the use of concurrent sentencing, which has allowed prison sentences to be served at the same time. Violent lawbreakers and those convicted of major drug offences would not be eligible for conditional sentences, there would be mandatory minimum sentences and the party will also call for the strict enforcement of existing laws on handguns. "We're going to go after the Hells Angels, not Ducks Unlimited," said Conservative Deputy Leader Peter MacKay. "This idea that you can somehow create an atmosphere around people who are already respectful of the law and superimpose this blanket (handgun) ban as a solution -- a one-size-fits-all, cookie-cutter approach -- is an absolute abysmal failure. It's publicly misleading and it doesn't drill down into the real problem." (YES!!! Finally.. All You Urban 'targets' now have a choice to make.. The status quo, with the 'soft on crime' Liberals and their Smoke & Mirror phoney handgun ban. OR a REAL change, making the punks do REAL time, while putting money into helping disenfranchised groups with other opportunities, thereby making it less likely the next generation will be selling drugs and shooting each other. The ones that are doing it now, should be locked up for YEARS, and if not Canadian citizens, put on the first plane back to where they come from when finally released. The ones that ARE Canadians, will find themselves in a registry of felons/criminals, and inspected regularly for firearms and other weapons. NOW YOU HAVE A REASON TO KICK THE LIBERALS OUT DO-IT) Liberal Backdoor Pandering It would have been too obvious, and too crass, for Mr. Martin to have made a direct reference to his election promise yesterday, while parents were mourning the loss of their daughter and while a city was in shock. Yet he appears to have deliberately used the words "shootings" and "gun violence" when he could have as easily used less specific descriptions, such as "murder and woundings" and "violent crimes." Reference to firearms and to the "challenge" that governments face to halt gun violence might have been a subtle reminder of the election pledge made on Dec. 8. That pledge was also subtle. The headline on the Liberal news release -- and the headline for much of the news coverage -- was about a promised handgun ban. So what the Liberals really promised on Dec. 8, as the fine print explains, is "federal legislation [that] would be enacted enabling provinces and territories to legally prohibit all handguns." That means legal owners and collectors could be forced to permanently disable their handguns, turn them in to police under a buyback program or, as the fine print in the Liberal news release says, "sell . . . their guns to licensed owners in jurisdictions that are not enforcing the ban." The Ontario government was quick to say it welcomed Mr. Martin's proposal. But Alberta Premier Ralph Klein said it would do nothing to keep handguns out of the hands of criminals anyway.(Paul Martin is a first class pandering asshole.. His party, and and his taxpayer funded guncontrol bitch, are the only groups in the entire country that are dumb enough to believe what they are doing will actually cut down on the shootings.. Backdoor pandering on the death of a 15 year old girl, caught in a crossfire of punks which in all likelihood ALREADY are on bail, parole, or a firearms prohibition, under the 'soft on crime' liberal agenda is absolutely disgusting. If this asshole and his party get elected again, Toronto will become a hell hole of illegal firearms. The price of a smuggled gun will go through the roof, and with as little as 2% of all cargo containers being searched, business will be brisk. So they grab the odd shipment! 2% is a pretty small cost of doing business. If the U.K. and Australia, which are totally surrounded by water, have seen crime jump as high as 166% what the fuck do they think will happen in Canada. The Liberals are set to spend BILLIONS on yet ANOTHER politically correct, feel good pile of bullshit. When will the big eastern cities smarten up, and realize they are being USED as nothing but a steppingstone to another Liberal power grab.. What is The Hidden Agenda? Why are they targeting the law abiding? Why are criminals out on bail almost immediately? Why do prison sentences NOT reflect the seriousness of the crime? Why are prison inmates allowed to vote? Why will no Liberal EVER go to jail because of Liberal Party Crimes and Theft? The only way these questions will ever be answered is to get them out of office. As long as their there, they can cover up anything, and funnel as much money out the door as they want. Mr. Dithers couldn't make the tough decision to squat in a bucket of water, if his ass was on fire. So, don't expect anything to change if the urban morons believe his bullshit and bring him back.. ) Blame America: The new Canadian Liberal anti-gun slogan. You might not be a fan of the "adult" South Park Cartoon series that has been a hit on Comedy Central for some time. Those of you not entertained by childish or sometime stupid humor might even be disappointed that we're about to quote it. Sadly, it fits here. However, those of you who are familiar with the show might see the irony between a popular South Park song and the recent tragic shooting spree that has taken place in Toronto during "Boxing Day" (the day after Christmas). Believe it or not, you and I and every other American are apparently responsible for the shooting spree that took place in Canada. Seriously! Personally, I blame Canada for disarming it's citizens and then trying to use the significantly different social and economical issues that face the United States for their failure to protect citizens in the imaginary utopia that is the Canadian Gun Registry. It will only get worse if Canadian government officials move forward with disarming the average citizen in the name of "safer communities" only to make them sitting ducks, as we've seen in many other countries. (With no platform other than the platform of corruption and theft, Paul Martin points his finger south. If he really wants to point a finger, he should stick it up his ass.. It will then be pointed in the right direction. This article from 'Ohioans for Concealed Carry' is worth a read, if only because it reflects the truth!) Driving wedges The proposed gun law will accomplish nothing except to, at worst, undermine the rights of and, at best, hugely inconvenience an identifiable group of law-abiding Canadians. It might also give the Liberals some political advantage in the urban areas that are their stronghold. It typifies an unattractive part of Liberal policy so far in this election campaign in that it is calculatedly divisive. All initiatives on every level of government, whether they be municipal transit fares, provincial health-care changes, national defence policy, are causes of debate and disagreement, but they are divisive in their nature and the nature of politics, not in their deliberate intent. Almost everyone except the federal Liberals agrees that the handgun law would do nothing to make the nation a better place. It is deliberately divisive, an attempt to drive a wedge between parts of the Canadian community -- east and west, farm and condo, the fearful urban middle class of Toronto and rural hunters of Manitoba's Delta Marsh. something similar can be seen in other major planks of the Liberal campaign. National unity is only an issue in this campaign because Mr. Martin made it one. America-bashing -- particularly based in this election on the hypocrisy of the Liberals' Kyoto performance -- would never have been an issue until Mr. Martin decreed it would be one. If Mr. Martin's Liberals are to be a credible alternative to Stephen Harper's Conservatives on Jan. 23, they will need to change course in the second half of the campaign that begins next week. So far they have been thrashing about, responding to Tory policies and stagnant polls. What Canadians need to see from Mr. Martin next month are new policies designed to benefit the Canadian nation, not just the Liberal party. (Martins liberals are so far out of touch with average Canadians, he must obviously be relying on the ignorant, and uneducated to keep or gain votes. Only the ignorant and/or uneducated could possibly take this man seriously. His party steals million from taxpayers, thinks the confiscation of firearms from collectors and target shooter will have an effect on the the 'criminal' access to guns, and 'still' thinks they hold the high ground on Canadian Values.. Well, I would hope that Canadian values are much greater than those of a political party, that have proven beyond a shadow of a doubt, that they will say, and do absolutely anything to remain in power. Even lying, theft, and pandering to victims in the poorer sections of Toronto. The Father of one of those victims has it right, when he publicly called Paul Martin a JackAss. I think most 'thinking' Canadians would agree with him) Suffering From Symptoms of Scandal Fatigue Canada's news organizations have fed the public a steady diet of scandal recently, from a university hazing ritual run amok to a half-dozen suspect investment schemes. Notorious sexual behaviour is always a favourite scandalous topic. In the past year, Quebec priests, Toronto high-school students and a Saskatchewan football player were all caught up in lurid allegations. Even a Toronto city hall computer leasing scandal turned racy. On the political side, the gum chewed at government expense by former Mint head David Dingwall and the secretly taped conversations between a Conservative MP and a Liberal cabinet minister also made brief appearances in the scandal sheets. Of course, the sponsorship boondoggle wins the prize for the scandal of the year, with wall-to-wall television coverage and non-stop commentary. Dasko says the public shares some of the media's blame for its obsession with scandal. New organizations blare the negative news for the same reason politicians run negative campaigns: the public eats it up. But it all comes at a cost, she says. "People have become very cynical," she said. "Every time we have done a poll in the last 18 months on confidence in politicians, the numbers have gone down. I don't know if it's bottomed out yet. "I don't know how much worse it could get." (Your possibly right! If the liberals get back in, you will 'never' know a lot of stuff. You will never know how much their phoney gun registry actually cost! You'll never know how much of that money was funnelled to liberal friends, and coffers. You'll never know the 'real' reason behind all those 'trust funds' that are untouchable by the Auditor General. You'll never know just how crooked the government 'really is' until they are 'finally' booted from office. If Urban Canada does not grow some balls now, and kick these thieving bastards out, the country may not survive till the next election..If there is one! Remember, this election is all about the FUTURE of Canada. Do you REALLY want a leader who's company will take gladly take taxpayers money, yet won't even fly our flag on his ships? Whose answer to crime is to disarm the law abiding, and maintain the catch and release criminal Just-Us Industry, whose soft handed approach to crime and punishment is costing innocent lives in the crossfire.. Ya! keep voting liberal.. Eventually Criminals will be controlling the streets of Toronto, even more than they are now, and you will be too afraid to come out of your own house. Enjoy! ) Liberal executive resigns after disparaging NDP politicians on blog A prominent member of the federal Liberal party resigned Monday after coming under fire for comments on his blog about NDP Leader Jack Layton and his wife, party candidate Olivia Chow. Mike Klander, a public affairs consultant in Toronto, was executive vice-president of the party's Ontario wing. He stepped down from the volunteer position after it was revealed he had posted a picture of Chow on his personal blog alongside a picture of a chow chow dog, with the heading "Separated at birth." Stephen Heckbert, a spokesman for the Liberal campaign in Ontario, said Klander's blog was a personal one that did not reflect the view of the federal party. He called the material "outside the bounds of good taste" and said Klander had apologized to Chow. "Obviously, this is something the Liberal Party of Canada doesn't condone," Heckbert told the Canadian Press. "It's our view that partisan rhetoric has its limits." (Yup! and I don't beleive they have reached them yet.. Thats three down and dozens to go.. #1 Beer & Popcorn, #2 Take your gun loving NRA ass back to the U.S.A, and now the 'dog/chow' remark... Isn't it wonderful to see the TRUE side of the liberal party of entitlements?) All eyes on McLellan Ms. McLellan is a lonely Liberal, the only Grit incumbent running for re-election in Tory blue Alberta. She was first elected here in 1993, winning her seat by just 12 votes. Every election since has been a squeaker. Last year, the margin of victory over her Conservative opponent was 721 votes.(A real soap opra! A Voice like fingernails screeching down a chalkboard.. These are the days of her lies... Hopefully the LAST days..) Guns, crime and our government don’t mix The money that the Liberals have wasted on the current failed firearms registry, in addition to money that will be wasted on a proposed hand gun ban would be better spent in strengthening our police departments, arming our border guards and implementing stiffer penalties for gun related crime. NOSA feels a ban on hand guns puts the country one step away from an all out ban on firearms as in Australia where a similar policy has only resulted in the rights of law abiding gun owners being stripped while violent crime involving home invasions and assault have risen. Folks do yourself a favour. Get out and vote this time around. I think it’s time for some changes in our country. The amount of money being wasted while people have no family doctors and the wait time in emergency rooms is escalating. Our mills and mines are closing at an alarming rate, putting thousands out of work, and the ever increasing price of energy, gasoline and increase in taxes is ridiculous. Only YOU can make the government accountable, and if you want to slowly lose your rights as free citizens of this country then continue to do what you have been doing. Don’t be the apathetic sheep.(Canadian 'sheep' are what keep the liberals in power. The ONLY way things are going to change in this country, is to kick the liberals out, and along with them, the ineffective crime control they have been pushing for years. Our justice system is a joke, and the street punks with the guns know it. Even if you shoot someone, the chances are very good, you will be back on the street with your gun, within weeks. Several examples of this have already occurred in our major cities.. As long as the liberals support a catch and release justice system, and blame the blameless for crimes committed with firearms, don't expect much to change. Their agenda ONLY reflects the publics demands during elections. After the elections, it will be business as usual, lying as usual, the democratic deficit as usual, the theft as usual, and NO LIBERAL will EVER go to jail for it, as usual. THESE are Paul Martins "Canadian Values. Want proof? After January 1st, the Liberals will start their attack ads against the other parties. Most notably against Stephen Harper. Why? well because they have no credible platform of their own. They keep rehashing all the lies from the previous fraudulent Liberals "Red Books" that everyone knows will never come to pass, just like the LAST 3 Red Books written by Paul Martin. Paul Martin after all, likes to wrap himself in the Canadian Flag during elections, but won't fly that same flag from his ships because Canadian Taxes are too high..WHY? Because Paul Martin wants to make sure that YOU are paying HIS share of Canadian taxes.. And as long as he's Liberal Prime Minister, he's Entitled to his Entitlements! But Your Not! ) Riding head quits over gun comment The president of the Oakville Liberal riding association has resigned after telling a voter unhappy with gun control to take her "gun loving ass back to the U.S." Elie Betito's response to a voter about Liberal handgun policy was disturbing and highly inappropriate, said Lindsay Williams, the Liberal campaign director in the riding. Williams said Liberal incumbent Bonnie Brown was "disturbed by the terrible way it was handled." At issue was an e-mail exchange initiated by Stacey Cherwonak, who identified herself as a sport shooter and wrote to Brown's campaign to take issue with Prime Minister Paul Martin's proposal to ban handgun ownership as a crime-fighting measure. "In addition to the millions (if not billions) of dollars that your party has stolen from Canadians since 1993, Paul Martin's speech today makes it clear that your party's word isn't worth the breath it's spoken with," wrote Cherwonak. "After work today, I signed up as a member of the Conservative Party of Canada, along with a $100 donation." She concluded with an observation that she was "sick to death of you lying bastards." In his response on Dec. 9, Betito told Cherwonak to "take your NRA gun loving ass back to the U.S. where you belong." Brown's spokeswoman said Cherwonak was not a constituent and noted that she had used profanity in her original message. But she said that didn't excuse Betito's response. Williams said Betito had been riding association president for about two years. "He is sorry for what he did, and realizes that the profanity in the original e-mail got the better of him emotionally." Betito could not be reached for comment.(A literal 'shit-storm' of email descended on Bonnie Brown. This comment should be just as important as the 'other' liberal attitude proclaiming that if left to their own devices, and without liberal 'control', the average parent would waste their money on "beer and Popcorn" rather than spend it on their children.. What the story above does not say, is that the 'unhappy voter' was also a RCMP Weapons Tech., and was identified as such in the email.. So, apparently even armed RCMP employees should take their "gun loving asses back to the U.S.A... As far as most are concerned, Elie Betito was only reflecting the prevailing attitude in the average liberal office! Are YOU going to waste your vote on the "Government of Entitlement"? Not Me! MY gun loving ass is going to sit back, enjoy some beer and popcorn, and watch the 'next' liberal disintegrate!... Send in the Clowns!!) Accused man had two illegal rifles, police say MONTREAL -- The man accused of killing a 25-year-old policewoman had not one, but two rifles stashed illegally in his bachelor apartment, police say. Despite being banned from having guns since 1999, François Pépin had managed to keep both weapons. Neither rifle, The Globe and Mail has learned, was among the weapons he was given an exemption to carry during hunting season. "We're trying to find out how he came into possession of these weapons," Sergeant François Doré, a spokesman for the provincial police, said. A decade ago, politicians had expressed hope that a new firearms registry could help prevent shootings of police officers and civilians. Critics always countered that the weapons not in the database would inevitably turn out to be more crucial than the ones registered by law-abiding citizens. Today, the Canadian Firearms Centre says it has more than two million gun owners in its database, a population that police can easily identify using the Canadian Police Information Centre. The firearms centre also says that since 1998, it has refused or revoked licences of more than 16,000 people deemed too violent, dangerous or unstable to be allowed to possess weapons. But there is a bigger problem, according to Conservative MP Gerry Breitkreuz. He says that police have no real means of checking up on tens of thousands of people who have been ordered by courts not to have weapons. "I know there are more than 176,000 people under orders not to have a firearm," said Mr. Breitkreuz, a frequent critic of the $1-billion gun registry. "The police don't enforce these orders because they don't have the resources to do it." A lack of follow-up on weapons bans has been a problem for years. Toronto Crown attorney Paul Culver said the problem dates back to at least 1994, when Toronto Constable Todd Baylis was killed by an offender banned from having weapons. Mr. Culver said the federal gun registry has not assisted in any prosecution by his office. (There you have it!! A TORONTO CROWN ATTORNEY has has basically said the the gun registry has been of no use to his office.. If the registry is of no use in TORONTO, (murder city Canada) just where they hell IS it of any use? As long as the Liberals are shovelling money into this sink hole, and continue monitoring the gun owners that never have charges, warrants, or bans, instead of the criminals, don't expect the killing to stop anytime soon. If, as the hoplophobes say, a large percentage of firearms used in crime are stolen from collectors, they the thefts are in all likelihood the result of poor security and background checks of gun registry employees, that are in all probability supplying 'addresses' to the criminal element!) Ex Hunter Takes Aim at Gun Registry, After Getting Three Licenses for One Rifle A GATINEAU man says the federal firearms registry is flawed and he has three gun licences for the same rifle to prove it. Bill Potvin recently received his third firearms licence for the same Winchester rifle. The former hunter can't understand why he's received so many licences since he registered the gun several years ago. "I guess that's why the (registry) costs $2 billion," he said yesterday. "Two billion and counting." Potvin showed his three licences to a friend recently. That friend, Potvin said, has yet to receive a single licence for his rifle. "My friend was amazed," he said. (Well S.N.A.F.U. is the only explanation (Military term.. Situation Normal, All Fucked Up)! AND, after ANOTHER police officer gets shot by someone the court had placed a firearms ban on.. Oh pardon me.. except for his deer rifle.. What kind of judicial moron came up with THAT exemption? What a crock, How could anyone believe anything regarding the so called 'good' of this horrendous farce.. Martin says he has 30 million dollars to 'compensate' handgun owners for government theft of their property.. Ya right! At 5 cents on the dollar.. I will dump my guns in the lake (protected and carefully GPS marked) before I turn anything over to these assholes..) Canada's Liberal Handgun Proposal gets Mixed Reviews A 'very' biased U.S. look at the Canadian Problem Liberal leader Paul Martin put forward a highly contentious proposal to ban handguns in Canada this last Thursday that has garnered mixed review from Canadians. Gun enthusiasts are calling the measure ineffective because only law-abiding citizens will lose their firearms. But supporters of the ban point to a strong correlation between the presence of guns and homicides and murders rates. Neither the RCMP nor the Toronto Police were willing to comment on the ban directly as it has become a campaign issue. Nor would they comment on what percentage of guns used in crimes were registered or smuggled into Canada illegally from the US.(This entire article, was probably supplied to the Epoch Times by the U.S. Handgun Control Inc., or maybe even Wendy, the Canadian Liberal financed gun-o-phobe! At the very end, it references things like " There is significant statistical evidence to support a ban on handguns and tight control of all other firearms." But fails to say where. When in fact, there is NONE! The United nations flawed study, that by taking a simplistic look at totals, fails the accuracy test on many points. One quote"One study found that the U.S. murder rate without handguns was roughly equivalent to that of Canada, while the murder rate with handguns was 14.5 times greater." But fails to mention that the total murder rate was not 'changed' by the presence of handguns in either country! Even in Canada where 'legal' handguns ARE strictly controlled, illegal ones ARE used in more murders than long guns, but 'other' methods are used over 70% more. If the murder is to take place, handgun, long gun, knife or baseball bat, The knife or baseball bat wins out every time! Will banning baseball help? And finally, as you knew it would, it trots out the old 2.7 times more likely 'kellerman' study which is widely known to be complete garbage by everyone 'but' the folks that keep trotting it out in the hopes that someone, anyone, who has not been made aware of it, will think it's actually a 'real' study! Why don't they for once, look at the study done by the Atlanta Centre for Disease Control, hardly a 'biased right wing group', that has found NO gun control laws of any kind, 'anywhere' in the U.S.A., have shown to be of any value what-so-ever, in reducing crime? Or, that every one of the 38 states that have passed concealed carry laws have seen drops as high as 24% in confrontational violent crime. Or that EVERY state that borders a Canadian provence not only has far more guns per capita, but also a lower crime rate than the bordering provence. Or, explain why, even with the addition of millions of more guns every year, violent crime in the U.S. is on a decline, while Canada's with it's strict gun control, is rising? When they can answer those questions, perhaps they will be doing their readers a service, instead of merely propagating the anti gun propaganda! ) Scott Reid's Beer & Popcorn Expenses billed to Taxpayers Scott Reid shouldn't be so quick to criticize. While he doesn't trust parents to buy diapers, books and toys for their own kids, we can trust him with our own money can't we? Let's take a look at Scott Reid's hospitality expenses for 2005 (Jan 1 - Jun 15)... New Year's "Dinner meeting" at D'Arcy McGee's: $22.71 January 3rd "Dinner Meeting" at Heart & Crown: $33.13 January 10th "Dinner Meeting" at Lieutenant's Pump: $33.10 February 1st "Dinner Meeting" at The Works: $53.00 February 4th "Dinner Meeting" at Royal Oak: $93.70 February 8th "Dinner Meeting" at Brixton's British Pub: $28.39 February 10th "Dinner Meeting" at Honest Lawyer: $24.61 February 15th "Dinner Meeting" at Liam Maguire's: $56.79 February 17th "Dinner Meeting" at The Manx Pub: $128.71 February 18th "Dinner Meeting" at Von's: $66.25 February 18th "Refreshments for meeting" at Darcy McGee's: $30.29 February 21st "Refreshments for meeting" at Brixtons Bar: $9.94 February 21st "Dinner Meeting" at Celtic Cross Pub: $42.59 February 21st "Refreshments for meeting" at Brixtons Bar: $4.97 February 22nd "Breakfast meeting" at Wilfrid's Restaurant (Chateau Laurier): $60.57 February 22nd "Dinner meeting" at Brixton's British Pub: $42.59 February 25th "Dinner meeting" at Darcy McGee's: $34.07 March 2nd "Dinner meeting" at Luxe Bistro: $194.02 March 5th "Lunch meeting" at Royal Oak: $28.39 April 2nd "Breakfast meeting" at The Mayflower: $12.16 April 12th "Dinner meeting" at Angelo's Pub and Pizza: $33.13 April 14th "Dinner meeting" at E and C (Elephant and Castle): $70.98 April 27th "Breakfast meeting" at Barristers Restaurant: $14.20 May 18th "Dinner meeting" at Honest Lawyer: $53.00 May 19th "Dinner meeting" at Suite 34: $26.50 - (Belinda defection dance party?) May 25th "Refreshments for meeting" at Cock & Lion: $9.93 May 25th "Dinner meeting" at The Works: $43.54 May 25th "Breakfast meeting" at Barrister's Restaurant: $11.93 May 26th "Breakfast meeting" at Barrister's Restaurant: $19.87 May 28th "Dinner meeting" at Lone Star Cafe: $38.32 June 3rd "Breakfast meeting" at Barrister's Restaurant: $14.76 June 15th "Breakfast meeting" at Barrister's Restaurant: $16.09 Those are a lot of pub bills. Granted, probably not too much popcorn was consumed on taxpayer money, but I do know that they serve beer at a lot of these pubs. These records don't specify what was purchased, but "refreshments for meeting" helps us guess. Furthermore, pubs make up the majority of Scott Reid's hospitality expenses.(The Total above is $1347.14 for 6 months. Remove the restaurants(popcorn), ($369.76) and you are left with 'his' 6 month beer bill of $977.38 Extrapolate that total over the year ($2694.28), and Scott Reids Beer billed to TAXPAYERS was $1954.76 and his Popcorn bill was $739.52 My god!! He's spent almost $2000.00 on Booze! No wonder he makes such stupid statements! Does Scott Reid have a drinking problem? Other than that, Scott Reid is the poster boy for the liberals, their "culture of entitlement", and of the opinion that its far better for THEM to use your money boozing themselves, than it is for Canadians to be trusted to actually feed their children! After all, THIS money has NO controls, and unless the Liberals are controlling it, it will only be wasted.. What a bunch of assholes!!!) Lets Play Average Canadian or Liberal Insider The Liberals have released TV ads with lovely images of everyday Canadians rattling off reasons why they as average citizens will be voting Liberal. Taking a closer look at the ads, we invite all Canadians to join us in playing: “Average Canadian or Liberal Insider?”(Well, I'm 'shocked' who would have thought the liberals would be so deceptive! Not me, thats for sure..;=) Under the Current LAW, The Liberals ARE a Criminal Organization VANCOUVER (CP) - A section of the Criminal Code used by police to fight organized crime has been struck down by a B.C. Supreme Court judge. Justice Heather Holmes said the section of the Criminal Code that creates the most serious of the three criminal organization offences is invalid in British Columbia because it is too vague. Crown counsel Gregg Bruce Goodfellow of nearby Chilliwack, who acts as a criminal law spokesman for the Canadian Bar Association, said the sections are relatively new and untested. "So this is one of the first decisions that I'm aware of that actually deals with that section," said Goodfellow. "I'm frankly not surprised that there's a challenge and it doesn't totally surprise me that a judge would say what Justice Holmes said. That particular section could easily be interpreted as too vague." Nathanson said since the judge found the provision to be vague, it was virtually impossible for someone to know whether he or she "is going to be subject to the strictures of the criminal law." Nathanson said the definition of "criminal organization" in a related section is also "extremely broad." The definition refers to three or more persons inside or outside Canada who are involved in the "facilitation or commission" of a serious offence that would result in a benefit to one or more of the group. (You are going to see a LARGE political push by the Liberals to get THIS section of the law struck down as well.. "The definition refers to three or more persons inside or outside Canada who are involved in the "facilitation or commission" of a serious offence that would result in a benefit to one or more of the group. If THIS isn't a definition of the Liberal Party, I don't know what would be!!! Harpers right!! As far as the law goes RIGHT NOW. The Liberals ARE a Criminal Organization and were involved in a Organized Crime, as defined under the law their own law!) Honey, get me another beer!! It appears there is a kind of "Stockholm Syndrome" gripping Canadian voters. Just when you think the Liberal government has overstepped the bounds of propriety in the things they say and do while in government, the voters give them another mandate. They cancelled a judicial inquiry into the torture and murder of a Somali youth when it became evident that some of the responsibility for this act would stick to Liberal politicians. They made light of the assault ordered by Prime Minister Chretien against legitimate protesters in the APEC affair. They let a billion dollars slip away through the so-called "HRDC boondoggle". They wasted two billion dollars registering law-abiding citizens’ guns, while our cities’ streets have become a killing ground. They have all but destroyed the famous Canadian health care scheme and are promising more of the same. After each and every one of these "scandals", they were re-elected. Maybe Canadians really are beer-swilling tax drones. Now the Libs are running on their record of stealing money for their own political furtherance through criminal money laundering and the Canadian voters don’t seem to think that it makes much of a difference. No wonder the Liberals are contemptuous of the voters. As a nation, we deserve contempt.(It's rather refreshing to see the 'liberals' making ALL the stupid comments this time around, and then sitting back and watching the left leaning media go into absolute contortions trying to ignore them.. But they can't. It truly baffles the majority of 'thinking' Canadians, how the Liberals can fuckup this much and STILL get voted back time after time by the urban zombies. Urban zombies chanting the liberal mantra "Stephen Harper Scary...Must vote for Liberals..OOooooo" .. WAKE UP ONTARIO.. Or no more beer and popcorn for you, you won't be able to afford it!!) LIBERAL HANDGUN BAN A SICK JOKE ON ALL VICTIMS OF VIOLENT CRIME Our police officers
have been losing the fight against violent crime for the last 43 years.
It comes as no surprise to anyone that the Liberals have been in power
for all but nine of those years. The number of Criminal Code incidents
per police officer has more than doubled since 1962. Canada’s
violent crime rate has more than quadrupled over the same period.
Now, violent crime is higher in Canada than in the United
States, but somehow that fact escapes the Liberals’ election
ads. Canadians were four times safer when John Diefenbaker was in
power than we are now. As a society, we shouldn’t have to accept
living in fear of being victimized. We just have to elect a government
that puts public safety priorities ahead of political priorities,” There were 622
murder victims in 2004. Seventy-two percent of these murderers used
something other than a firearm. Statistics Canada also reported an
increase in almost all categories of family homicides. Seventy
percent of the accused murderers had a prior conviction for a violent
offence: 8 for homicide,” exclaimed Breitkreuz. “Canadians
should be asking the Liberals: Why are convicted murderers being let
out on our streets to kill again instead of in prison where they belong?” “One
of my constituents put it better than I ever could: This
announcement is an insult to the families of those taken from them
by violence. This ban would have done nothing to save them from their
loss, and yet it's being sold to them as a legitimate response to
their grief. How utterly opportunistic. How unspeakably shameful.”(It would seem that if you support, and vote for the Liberals, you are supporting and agreeing to :
*Entirely bypassing parliament to fund the billion dollar boondoggle, generally known as the now widely acknowledged useless gun registry. *Continued over taxation to the tune of BILLIONS in surplus. *The continued liberal culture of entitlement. *Ignoring where 40 million dollars of adscam money actually went. *The 'catch and release revolving door justice system. *The vast majority of all previous liberal 'red book' promises ignored. *The continued degradation of our military. *Continued ignoring of the the plight of Native Canadians. *That GUNS cause crime, not criminals. *Totally against mandatory sentencing unless it can get you votes. *Hunter, Fisherman, Sports Shooter is now the new 'N' word in Canada. *Our first line of defence border guards should remain armed with only flashlights, and batons even though they have been issued with 'bullet resistant vests'. *Our largest trading partner should be publicly ridiculed at every opportunity. *The Canadian Coast Guard should REMAIN unarmed. *A day-care bureaucracy can raise your children far better than you. *If given $1200.00 a year, the average parent would spend it on "beer and popcorn". *The un-realistic confiscation of legally owned and obtained property even if will make no difference what-so-ever. *Liberals have shown good judgement in what they spend your tax dollars on. *You are now getting faster and more efficient health care in the 12 years since the liberals came to power. *You feel safer walking the streets at night. *If you vote in a member of parliament, they can change sides at a whim and without consulting their constituents. *They are entitled to their self proclaimed entitlements. *Swindling disabled veterans out of their pension funds by passing a law that says they can do just that. *The "why did you come to me for help, when you didn't vote for me?" attitude. *Election gag laws to prevent some points from being heard. *Paul Martin wrapping himself in the Canadian flag, but refusing to fly that same flag from his own ships. *Untold billions stashed in "private" government foundations - hidden from public scrutiny and beyond the reach of the Auditor General and Privacy Commissioner. *Continued appointments of 'ethics commissioners' that report ONLY to the prime minister. *Questionable Insider Trust fund leaks, allowing 'some' to make a lot of money very quickly. *Seeing that the last liberal 'hidden agenda' has mostly come to pass, LAST but certainly not 'THE' last, should be full support of the current, yet unknown, NEW Liberal 'Hidden' Agenda.. Conservatives Charge Liberals Continue to Make Irresponsible Comments In a television appearance on December 11, Paul Martin's Communications Director Scott Reid said parents would ‘blow’ a proposed $1,200 per child allowance on videos, popcorn, and beer, while Liberal strategists John Duffy agreed, saying that parents might spend the money on cars rather than their kids. “These insulting remarks unmask what the Liberals really think about parents, that they can't be trusted to do what's right for their own children. This arrogance explains why the Liberals are opposed to giving all parents direct support to help them make the child care choices that are best for their families,” said Conservative MP Rona Ambrose. Reid has since issued statement saying that his words were “a dumb way to make my point.” Ambrose did not condone the minimization of such comments. “Clearly, these top Liberals said what they really believe: that parents don't have their children’s best interests at heart. An apology won't change the fact that they are opposed to giving parents child care choice because they don't trust parents to make the right decisions.”(Perhaps he only meant that Only TORONTO families would waste this money on Beer and popcorn.. After all, who knows more about the wants and needs of Toronto Voters than the pandering Liberals?) Conservative Wisdom on Guns and Violence This link goes to a page on the liberal website, listing several comments from Conservatives. All of the comments are factually correct, and 'any' thinking person would have to agree with them.. This entire page on their site, only goes to show just how far out of touch the liberals are, and year after year of blundering fuckups, shows they still 'Just don't get it'.. 12 years of incompetence, waste, arrogance and theft, are just about enough for anybody! Shameless Expedient Politics I believed the registry could be a useful tool for police, in responding to domestic violence situations, for example. I laughed off the gun owners' warnings that this was just the first step toward confiscation as typical "gun nut" paranoia. Well, I've learned a lot since then, about gun control and about guns. (I've even fired a few, thanks to a Sun reader who showed me the excitement of target shooting.) The long gun registry was a disaster. While it's possible that some police officer somewhere might have found it useful in determining if there was a registered gun in a house where some domestic violence situation was taking place, so what? It does nothing to tell police about the existence of unregistered guns, or any other kind of lethal weapons. It has devoured nearly $2 billion in tax dollars -- yet women are still being abused and killed and services for them are still scraping for money. And now Martin, in the face of a gun-crime problem that has plagued Toronto and other cities for the past few years, has suddenly announced that his answer is to ban all handguns -- including legally registered ones, some of which will be confiscated. Looks like the "gun nuts" were right! We each view the big picture -- whether it's national politics or a crime that shocks the nation -- through our own prism. The Montreal massacre hit home to me because I'm a woman. The cheap, empty political solution that resulted enrages me. As a Torontonian, shocked by the callous gun violence perpetrated on vulnerable communities by gangsters who laugh at our lax justice system, I see Martin's handgun ban as more of the same. Shameless, expedient politics. If I were a mother of a young man in those parts of town where young men are regularly gunned down (or a sister or wife or neighbour or friend), I would demand to know if the PM thinks we are stupid enough to buy another cheap, empty political solution to our legitimate fear and desperation. And I would be -- I am -- enraged. (Whether the convert o male OR female, the more people that investigate the worthlessness of Liberal policy, and hold it up to shrivel in the light, the better off we are. .. Thanks Linda!) Handgun `ban' is the gun registry all over again So, this is what it comes to for Paul Martin and the Liberals — in a tardy response to the Summer of Guns, they will make illegal that which is already illegal, and ban handguns, except where they don't. It's a real "son of a gun registry." And it will be as ineffective in protecting Canadians from violence as the registry, in which the Liberals made illegal that which had previously been legal — unregistered rifles or shotguns — even though they had nothing to do with the targeted crime. If the cost multiplier that affected the registry applies again, this could cost $2.9 gazillion, give or take a hundred million. Let us pray. Too often, anyone who doesn't support weapons laws is dismissed as a right-wing nut, overly fond of guns. I am neither. What I am is an advocate of sound public policy, where what gets examined is the likely effect of a proposal rather than its stated aims.(It would look, by the overall response, that Martins 'Handgun' ban has gone over like a lead balloon in virtually all corners of Canadian society. Except for of course, for left turning wing nuts like Toronto's Mayor Miller, and Ontario's Michael Bryant. Even the 'Trudeau Star' sees through this electioneering scam.. A circulating joke, tells us the native community has bestowed the Indian name of "Walking Eagle" on Paul Martin.. "Walking Eagle" is what a bird is called, when it's so full of shit it can no longer fly... Canada's natives have chosen the name wisely!) Handgun ban may misfire Paul Martin's election vow to ban
handguns was aimed at urban voters
yesterday, but rural Liberals worry it could be shot down by small-town
Canadians still seething over the hated federal gun registry. But a
stray bullet from Martin's promise could hit Liberals in the
rural ridings that dot the Southwestern Ontario battleground, where any
suggestion of curtailing gun ownership reminds voters of the
much-maligned National Firearms Registry.
"It plays well in the Jane-Finch area of Toronto,"
Sarnia-Lambton Liberal Roger Gallaway said, referring to the site of
Martin's promise. "For the legitimate gun owner . . . it just creates
anxiety. The perception is that it affects a bunch of people that
aren't the problem and never will be."
Some experts say Martin's focus on banning handguns may, in fact, be
pointless.
Canada's more than 500,000 registered handguns are mainly
confined to police, security guards, licensed target shooters and
collectors.
Sales to the public have been tightly controlled for 60 years.
Slapping even more restrictions in place isn't likely to stop
criminals, said a University of Toronto criminologist.
"We've got lots of laws (already)," Anthony Doob said. "We've
got laws about carrying. We've got laws about ownership. We've got laws
about transfers of ownership."
London police Chief Murray Faulkner, whose officers have
handled 18 shootings this year -- up sharply from three last year and
seven the year before that -- echoed that reaction.
"We've got laws now. Unfortunately, the people that have handguns don't
care about our laws," he said. In nearby Chatham-Kent-Essex, a former
Liberal MP was already hearing from angry residents yesterday.
"It won't go over well," said Rex Crawford, who now campaigns
for the Conservatives. "I've had calls about it. They're just
screaming. They're very upset."
In a statement yesterday, the Ontario Federation of Anglers
and Hunters criticized the Liberals for trying "once again to stop
crime on the backs of legal, law-abiding firearms owners."
Martin, however, was certain his anti-crime plan will make a positive
difference.
"This strategy will get handguns off our streets, will toughen
penalties for those who are convicted of gun crimes, and will choke off
the supply of illegal weapons," Martin said.
Hows Martin's Gun Ban promise being Accepted?Martin does not have a clue! He is simply another vote pandering, lying, liberal politician. According to Martin. it's GUNS not 'criminals' that are the problem in Toronto.. He has been recorded as saying "Guns threaten people" "Guns kill people". This country has moved so far to the left, OBJECTS are now being blamed for crime. It's GUNS that are the problem, not the voting criminal, not the voting jail or prison inmate. Why? Because the liberals have already given convicted criminals serving time in jails and penitentiaries the right to vote, and there are far more voting criminals, than voting handgun owners. It's all about the numbers. Besides many liberals may find themselves in prison after ALL the shit hits the fan, and they want to retain as many rights as they can! THE LIBERALS 'DO' HAVE A SECRET AGENDA! Martin has already let the cat out of the bag when he said he would base this handgun ban on the Australian model. We all know, the Australian model does NOT stop at handguns. It bans many, many, types of firearms. Some .22 calibre rifles, many popular duck hunting, trap and skeet shotguns, semi automatic pistols regardless of calibre, and all pistols over a certain calibre. But it won't stop there. The camels nose is already IN the tent! Martin liberals are also planning to ban lead fishing tackle because autopsies have shown as many as FOUR loons across this country have died from the ingestion of small lead sinkers. So, the liberals have started the ball rolling to ban ALL fishing tackle that contains lead, even 5 pound down rigger weights. God forbid we loose another loon when it eats a five pound ball of lead! Brass spinners, and lures contain lead..Bannned..Lead cored fishing line...Banned...The keel on your Sailboat? ...Banned... Remember, if it only saves one loon.. Under the Liberals, 'personal responsibility' is no longer even considered a factor. Right across this entire continent, hundreds of young children die every year from falling into privately owned backyard swimming pools. Using the obvious Martin logic, there are public, well supervised pools, so there is absolutely no need to own one, or have one of these dangerous, child killing objects on your property. Unless of course you are in favour of killing children! Your not in favour of killing children are you? You had better fill that pool with dirt, or be fined or imprisoned. Using more 'proven' liberal logic, and because they have already tried banning alcohol, and it didn't work. will they NOW be blaming Impaired driving on cars. Liberals WILL in all probability, severely limit the private use of cars. Perhaps, even if you have never had a drink of alcohol in your entire life, forcing everyone to have a very expensive, 'annually taxed and licensed' of course, breath monitor installed to stamp out the scourge of drunk driving, . What's the problem? People in Toronto don't need cars anyway. What's next? Many 'fringe' animal rights groups are known to be in bed with the liberals. The animal protection bill (that thankfully has again probably died on the order table) will allow more 'loons' the two legged ones this time, to act on the threat they have already made, to launch lawsuits against farmers, hunters, fishermen (sport and commercial) for causing the 'brutal'.. although not defined.. death of animals. The Liberals REFUSE to clearly exempt traditional methods of hunting, fishing, and farming from this bill. Why? The ONLY reason can be because they want to end the sport of hunting and fishing, and in all probability, in the case of PETA, force the gradual removal of meat from the Canadian diet. How? The death of a thousand cuts is very effective! Sure, the courts may throw out these frivolous law suits, but the liberals know it will cost thousands and thousands of dollars for farmers, hunters, and fishermen/women to defend themselves. Many will lose there livelihoods and life savings in this defence. If you can't be beat in court, then your will be forced to abandon your national traditions by attrition. Think I'm joking? Not on your life am I joking. Hunting, fishing and farming means NOTHING to the average person in Urban Ontario, and the liberals know it. The electoral system of this country means the election is over once all the big cities east of Manitoba have voted. Rural and Western votes mean absolutely nothing. As long as the the Urban voter is still gullible enough to vote for the only political party that has been caught RED HANDED stealing tax dollars, and laundering those very tax dollars back into their own coffers to win elections, everything I have said will come to pass. So, if your a hunter, fisherman/woman, farmer, or simply enjoy traditional life outside of big cities, and want to see REAL change for the benefit of REAL democracy. Voting liberal is simply insane because NOTHING will change, and the Liberal Mantra of "Power at ANY cost" will continue to beat you down, until you have no fight left..Then, they win! Again! (This rant may be reproduced anywhere you see fit.. If we don't stop them this time, it may be too late) (What a total imbecile!! THIS is the guy that wants to lead Canada in to the future? Martin has moved this country so for to the left, he now blames 'objects' instead of Criminals. He seems to think that 'handguns' kill people 'all by themselves' therefore banning handguns is the obvious answer.. Is Martin 'REALLY' this stupid? Or is he just a political puppet for the REAL Morons..) Martin Finally Offers the Criminal Youth, the chance to become Entrepreneurs At a cost of $30 million a year over five years, the Canada Handgun Ban would, include a federal Gunstoppers Program, amnesty efforts, a buy-back program and $15 million a year for re-licensing fee-waiver. In 2004, the homicide rate jumped 12 per cent. Since 2001 handguns have accounted for roughly two-thirds of firearms-related homicides – up from approximately one-half in the 1990s and one-third prior to 1990. Research also clearly indicates that guns, violence and gangs are correlated. Statistics Canada’s 2004 Homicide report counted 81 victims killed last year as a direct result of their involvement in illegal activities such as drug trafficking and gang violence.Under this proposal, federal legislation would be enacted enabling provinces and territories to legally prohibit all handguns. A federal fund of $30 million a year over 5 years would be created to support the legislation. This fund would provide for local amnesty programs and would enable collectors and current handgun owners to be compensated, at fair market value, for their collections. Legal owners and collectors of handguns would also be given the opportunity to permanently disable their guns in order to keep them, turn them into police, destroy, sell or export their guns to licensed owners in jurisdictions that are not enforcing the ban.(Every online poll that has been shown by every news media outlet today, has the vast majority of respondents (75%-90%) saying NO this will not work.. Only complete fools Like the Ontario Liberal government thinks this is a good idea. A ban such as this, is clearly only supported by liberal politicians, beneficiaries of liberal funds, and people obviously too ignorant or lazy to investigate the drastic outcome that has prevailed EVERYWHERE on the planet that this has been tried before. Nowhere has it worked, and it won't work here either. Canada is NOT that special!) Martin to Announce BAN on Illegal Handguns Duh!!!! Campaigning Liberals plan to announce handgun ban during Toronto visit OTTAWA (CP) - Prime Minister Paul Martin will venture into a violence-plagued area of Toronto on Thursday to announce a sweeping ban on handguns, The Canadian Press has learned. Martin was scheduled to visit Toronto's troubled Jane-Finch area to make a "safer communities announcement." Liberal sources have confirmed the announcement includes an "outright" ban on handguns. However, there will be exceptions for competitive target shooters, gun collectors and peace officers, a Liberal insider said on condition of anonymity. The source would not explain any more details of the policy proposal. Handguns are already severely restricted in Canada and a handgun registry has been in force for more than 60 years. But a rash of recent gun deaths in Toronto has prompted Martin to promise to crack down even more. Gunfire was responsible for 50 of the 74 murders so far this year in the city. The rash of shootings prompted city police to launch a gun amnesty program in November, during which they collected 261 weapons and more than 1,500 rounds of ammunition. A ban on handguns is likely to be popular in other large urban centres as well, like Montreal and Vancouver, where residents have been disturbed by recent firearms violence. (The 'leader' of a non-functioning, 'non-confidence' government is set to Ban Illigal handguns.. Well duh!!!! This will be a two pronged election promise.. Both smoke, AND mirrors.. Martin and his elitist liberals, must REALLY think the urban voter is this stupid!! Martins obvious thinking here is "Announce something, ANYTHING dammit, were on the ropes here"!! House searches in dismemberment case spark privacy concerns House-to-house searches have some residents of a Toronto neighbourhood on edge as police hunt for clues in the case of a woman whose body was found dismembered in a laneway. A team of 20 officers is asking residents in the west-end neighbourhood of Parkdale to sign a consent form allowing a search of closets, basements and freezers. Police are looking for evidence linked to the discovery of the victim's dismembered torso in an alleyway last month. The woman's legs were discovered Nov. 11 at a garbage sorting station in North York, while her torso was discovered hours later in Parkdale. (Like they will tell you, If you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear.. Bullshit!!! By allowing the officers to search your home, they have the right at that time to charge you with ANYTHING they want based on WHATEVER they find.. A friend left a 'joint' in the ashtray? Your Charged. Have a old forgotten .22 in the closet like millions of other Canadians, or perhaps a single old forgotten bullet in a junk drawer (and what shooter hasn't found at least 'one' of these)? Your Charged with unsafe storage of firearms or ammunition.. Have a 'bong' on display in the corner? They will rip your house apart, and could even dump grandmas ashes on the floor looking for drugs.. To search your home, they need a search warrant., and they can't get one by simply telling the judge you won't let them search without one.. They Have to have a valid reason to search your home, and denial of entry can't be it! I am all for helping the police when they need help, but because ignorance of the law is no excuse for avoiding charges, who knows what may turn up while rummaging through your private possessions, basement, closets..etc.. You may not even be aware of breaking a law of some kind, at least not until they charge you, and you may very well have to sell that home to defend yourself in court! That is, if the government does not move to confiscate it under some bogus 'proceeds of crime' charge.. Don't think its possible? Just ask Bruce Montague) Liberals to extend child-care plan The Liberals renewed their commitment to a national child-care system on Tuesday, with Leader Paul Martin vowing to increase Ottawa's spending to $11 billion. Martin's announcement comes a day after Conservative Leader Stephen Harper set out his party's child-care plan, the key component of which would be a $1,200 annual allowance for parents of young children.(Martins running scared! It like watching a poker game.. Martin to Harper: I'll see your Child Care plan and raise you 5 billion 'of liberal imaginary money' ! Can you just imagine yet another HUGE bureaucracy run by these guys and their henchmen.. God save us from the Liberals, and their 'plan'!) These are Scary Times.. If you don't believe me, just ask Stephen Harpers Critics. If you thought Stephen Harper was scary before, look at him now. The federal Conservative leader - ranked right up there by the torqued eastern media with Freddy Kreuger and the Texas Chainsaw Massacre guy - only made things worse yesterday by promising to (gulp) cut the GST. In 1989 Martin told the House of Commons the GST was a "stupid, inept and incompetent" tax. "We hate it and we will kill it," Chretien roared back in 1994. Of course, he didn't. But now Harper says he will. Starting with a 1% rollback immediately, and another one-point cut within five years. He also promised to move the tax-tweaking that Finance Minister Ralph Goodale outlined in his pre-election economic update retroactive to the 2005 tax year - so the Grit election war room couldn't accuse the Tories of substituting one tax rollback for another. "The immediate result of cutting the GST will be $4.5 billion back in the pockets of ordinary Canadians," Harper whooped. "The Liberals spent money on themselves and their friends," the Conservative leader blasted. "And wasted billions of taxpayer dollars." Then he brought up the sponsorship scandal, the HRDC scam and the gun registry. Harper also noted that the GST take has gone from $15.9 billion when Martin first became finance minister to $31.8 billion. It took a long while for the Teenie Tiny Grits in the Liberal war room to come up with a response. Their first crack at it was a bizarre argument that Harper got his figures wrong on the impact cutting the GST will have on the average family. Yawn. Next Martin went before the microphones and attempted to play class wars. "We would rather see Canadians keep more of their paycheques, than help the wealthiest save on luxury items," Martin fumed. (Even though most of Goodale's payroll tax cuts are years down the road.) As though all the tax relief is for wide screen TVs and none on baby clothes. He talked about his way of adding a few bucks more on your pay stub being "fairer and more progressive." Except, didn't Martin and Chretien defeat the Tories by campaigning to cut the GST? (I also wonder how many "liberally connected people" made a killing on the leaked income trust information? Which by the way is the basis of yet 'another' RCMP investigation into the Liberals.. Jan. 23rd can't come fast enough for me!!) Conscience of a Canadian When Canada's minority Liberal government fell Monday night in a parliamentary no-confidence vote, one line in Prime Minister Paul Martin's post-vote speech struck this expatriate Canadian as even more self-righteous than usual. "Canada is now the conscience of the world," Martin declared. While Martin and many Canadians consider themselves morally superior to Americans, simply better human beings, the implication that Canada is now the moral beacon for every other country on the face of the earth is astounding, even taking into account Canadians' deeply entrenched, obnoxious smugness. But this "We're better than them" boast is key to Martin's efforts to retain power in the January 23 national election. For risk-averse Canadians, especially those in Ontario where the Liberals hold most of their seats, to abandon the warm familiarity of a Liberal government would be similar to a baby giving up its pacifier. This, despite the fact the arrogant, tired, corrupt Liberals deserve to go. I don't know where "conscience" enters into it, but Canada is now virtually a one-party "democracy," along the lines of Mexico before Vicente Fox was elected. And while Canada may have a conscience, it is absent a soul, a country devoid of any national identity except that defined by its anti-Americanism. While "Time for a change" is a slogan that energizes many American voters to turf out a sitting president, those same words strike fear in the heart of the average Canadian. Voters may tinker with the idea of a non-Liberal government, but come January 23, beaten into submission by the Martin fear machine, they are likely to do as they are told, just like the good little Canadians they are.(Canadians are now, thanks to the morons of the liberal party, the laughing stock of the entire world. Our military is virtually toothless, a 2 billion dollar gun registry is an example of incompetence and waste to the entire world, our government is seen as one of the most corrupt the western world has ever witnessed, and our complacency with all of this is baffling. A definition of insanity is to keep doing the same thing over and over, and expecting a different result each time. Every time a liberal government takes power, it TAKES POWER. Nothing changes, taxes go up, services go down, liberal arrogance goes up, trust in government goes down.. We hold an election, and then vote the same arrogant bastards back into power. Maybe we really SHOULD be the laughing stock of the entire world?) Veteran Mountie Running in Spruce Grove Once you've dealt with James Roszko, running as a federal Liberal in Alberta is a walk in the park. In a deft bit of political casting, the Liberals have recruited a 22-veteran of the RCMP to run against Conservative caucus star Rona Ambrose in Edmonton-Spruce Grove. Brad Enge, a Metis lawyer originally from Yellowknife, started his career with the RCMP's anti-terrorism task force, and spent a year in the late '70s with the Mayerthorpe detachment keeping a close eye on the infamous cop killer Roszko. "My first encounter with Roszko was a routine traffic stop. His attitude was disdainful, confrontational - he didn't like police very much," said Enge. "You always had to be very calm and professional around him, because he'd try to provoke you." (Ok! So let me get this straight! He would make a good Liberal Politician, because 20 years ago, near the very start of his career, he gave James Roszko a ticket? Wow..People will be tripping all over themselves to vote for this guy! And a Lawyer and Liberal too.. What more could you ask for!.. Don't get me wrong, he's probably a very nice fellow, but these are hardly the credentials needed to unseat Conservative Rona Ambrose in Edmonton-Spruce Grove. Who's coming in on the next parachute Paul, Shania Twain for Ontario, or maybe k.d. Lang to represent the Western lesbians?) SKIP THE PREACHING, AND PASS THE PORK! You can buy a lot of spin for $24.5 billion worth of early Christmas presents. The Liberals have spent more than a billion dollars a day, (much of it virtual spending) over the past 23 days, or roughly since the time they realized they were headed for the parliamentary rocks. According to the Canadian Taxpayers Federation, it is something of a record -- the gaudiest political spending binge in Canadian history. There have been many dizzying moments as the Liberals spent the numbers off the national credit card. Who could forget the prime minister's ringing declaration that the Liberal Party is all about accountability? Was he referring to HRDC, the gun registry, or the acquisition of those dud subs? My personal favourite from the loot bag of Grit pseudo-promises is a $1,000 deduction for going on vacation. As long as you cross three provincial borders in Canada, the Liberal chairman of the House of Commons finance committee wants to pay for your Griswold Family Vacation. Think about it -- up to $4,000 for a family of four and you don't have to do anything. And like the ad-sponsorship program, it's all in the name of national unity. "It's a no-brainer," Liberal Massimo Pacetti said of his plan. He is right. The Liberal bet will be that pork beats preaching every time. They will drop money from airplanes, recruit star candidates, save the rain forests, rescue the aboriginals, sustain every immigrant, lean on media contacts, pass off surpluses as good fiscal management rather than gross over-taxation -- and hope and pray that the smell of that 50 gallon drum of rotting fish known as the ad sponsorship affair is dissipated by the cheap perfume of promises. (Martin is desperate, more desperate that he has ever been before! Harper has made it known, that if elected he intends to launch an investigation into the 40+ million still missing in the Liberal Ad Scam. No doubt, between the Ad Scam, and the Gun Registry, Many Liberals, and Liberal supporters may very well find themselves under investigation for even more corruption. A conservative win, is a Liberal Nightmare. Only when they hold power, can the liberals continue the cover-ups. They are about to have their covers ripped off. Mark my words, when the liberals get kicked out, the shredders in Ottawa will be working overtime. Just as they did when the country 'finally' wised up to Trudeau and 'his' merry band..) | ||||||||||||||||||||
