Yes, and from his cold, dead hands he's trying to pull Harper's strings...

double post deleted...

Done. I only provided a link to a side-reference in an article in the Star but I'm sure this will become a larger story in a few days... Mr. Bezan's wardrobe brought to you by the good ol' folks at the National Rifle Association of Amarica, who'll only let you write down the serial number of their rifle after you take it from their cold, dead hands... ...how friggin' juvenile.

Just who is behind Harper's agenda to scrap the registry? http://www.thestar.com/news/canada/gunregistry/article/860808--tories-nra-playing-wedge-politics-on-gun-registry-liberals-say

Again, Baboon: Breathe deeply.

NRA lobbying and messing about in Canadian Politics is a bit of a scandal, wouldn't you say?

Molly, I'm criticizing the Tory ideology here and their political tactics, I mean no disrespect to those who keep horses but I do know a few farms in my area that also have replaced horses with ATVs... and others that keep horses too.

I think most prairie folk are wise enough to notice the smarmy-ness of this political staging. And Waldo has a good question: Why did James Bezan pull the video? Is it because it would have become known the horse and hat were supplied by the NRA?!

Well said, Wyly. I don't understand how people fall for such `smarmy' politicking.

To be anti-American in Canada these days only shows you have a mind, at least more presence of mind than the idiots south of us who think it `disrespectful' to turn a privately-owned building two blocks from `ground zero' into a mosque. It's been a mosque for years anyways... there are over 20 mosques in your precious New York... get over it. Republican freaks are grasping at straws with this one...

Like there's any grass-fed beef west of Onterrible... If ya aint feedin' them what they're supposed to have, then you're druggin' them to compensate. What colour is "leftist"? ... and you forgot the hyphen; `leftist-coloured.'

I might have mistook the lisp for something else but owning a few head of drugged-up cattle is no excuse for a half-wit politician to torture a horse and play cowboy for a few minutes in an awkward photoshoot to promote a regressive political message. The long-gun registry is a good thing and... `That's a fact, Jack!'

There's a definite, false `twang' to this half-wit's message. Sort of like how those fake new-country singers exploit the accent.

roger dat. I don't want my tax dollars wasted either. But they musta wasted taxpayer money on some study in the 90's that recommended this registry. It doesn't cost much now, Canada's honourable law enforcement spokespeople are in favour of it, and Harper would be a political fool to destroy it. Makes sense, eh?

Fellas, stop and think for a moment... isn't a lot of our debate just an expression of our deep-seated, half-conscious feeling that talking about guns makes one cool?... What if we never saw First Blood? or other movies that conditioned us to worship guns? Would our sentences be the same? Would we strive to be macho in our syntax the way PIK does?

Yes, the perspective of the officers isn't nearly as wide as the chiefs. I wouldn't care if you could find 5000 front line officers, the majority of their superiors think the registry is a good thing. Period.

Those 4 RCMP officers you mention later were killed with... wait for it... long guns. Thanks Small C for noticing PIK's manipulation of percentages...

and stop listening to the American AM radio pundits who tell you the world is coming to an end every week.

anti-Islamic?

See above.

Yes, please enlighten us with your definition of Canada... what could be more broad than the chasm between Capitalist and Socialist Ideologies?! I guess I left myself open for attack so... be my guest...Define Canada for me, please...

and, with nowhere left to fall, they are truly "crashing through the window". I just wonder how many voters in CTV land will still hear the crash...

Ever wonder whether these rumours are started by those who own the stocks or gold/silver and just want to create a `buying frenzy' to further their own gains?

Canada used to be a beautiful experiment between capitalism and socialism. But today's half-wits want to make it more like the US and less independently-minded. I blame private media for the half-witted-ness; corporations and corrupt governments spend billions on propaganda to keep you and I voting the way they want and most media need the money. Luckily, Harper's crew are stupid. ("a generation so much dumber than its parents")
