… as Harper seems to be moving toward an American style position on gun ownership rights.
Now, not only are Canadians being told that there are terrorists around every corner, but armed criminals are just waiting for us at our country homes and cottages.
Scary country, Harper’s Canada!
Harper’s comments are being promoted by the Conservatives’ election campaign manager, who says she is “proud” of how Harper said gun ownership is “important for safety for those of us who live a ways from immediate police assistance.”
I’m personally not against gun ownership. But I am very much for a highly regulated environment. This is something we currently have and the main reason why we haven’t seen the gun violence in Canada that is so prevalent south of the border.
Of course, confrontation and hostility have become the touchstones for the Harperites… Lawrence Martin:
NATO officials said this was nonsense – that Russian vessels remained far off and that there was no buzzing.
How support for the ReformCons remains at the level it is at is beyond me. I really believed that Canadians would see through the politics of hate and cynicism… but maybe I’m wrong.
One hope – Duffy. The other – Justin Trudeau.
