While we did a little bend to the right, it is only enough for a minority
government, not enough for Harper to do anything stupid like joining Bush in
his unjustified invasion of Iraq. It really hurt to put an X next to the name
of the Conservative candidate but I was ****ed off by years of Liberals at the
trough. We paid millions for an inquiry to find out who was responsible for
$100 being paid to pro Liberal advertising company. It cleared Martin, but
those responsible never went to jail. No one was even charged. The last straw
for me was the proposal of a hand gun ban. The only problem with hand guns in
this country is a bunch of west Indian gangs in Toronto running around shooting
each other. They got rid of the previous police chief because he wasn't
suitably culturally sensitive and replaced him with a PC lackie.

Martin lost my the little bit of faith I had in him when he said that legally
registered handguns in this country were just a break-in away from being used
by criminals. I had to shake my head over that extensive coverage of the fire
arms instructor who has been charged with unsafe storage of his handguns. He
had them in a case so strong that it took the thieves two days to break into
it. Sounds pretty safe to me. The PC crowd wonders how a guy can get a permit
to keep restricted firearms in a neighbourhood that is dangerously rife with
gangs. I wonder how a neighbourhood can be so unsafe and not be subject to
increased police activity.
