I believe the key word in that quote is "delivery". The conservatives are proposing to implement elements of private health care, which would effectively decrease waiting times and increase the overall "delivery" of health care to the public. Also, if the GST is such a bad thing, why have the Liberals not eliminated it? Who is worse, the one who introduces it, or the one who maintains it for an extended period of time? Jean Chretien promised that he would rid the country of such things some... 10(?)... years ago, and yet it remains. There's a whole book of such blunders of that government. As for the free trade, what is so completely unfair about it? I do understand some minor things which you may be hinting at, but could you please expand upon this?

This is true, but what percentage of crimes are commited by regularly law-abiding citizens? I meant that one who follows the law to such an extent as to follow registry is much less likely to actually commit such crimes. Part of that may have been facetious, but the other part is completely reasonable to bring up, in that the registration of knives has already been brought up as an 'issue'.

Eureka, in the end it comes down to one question: Why would anyone with the intent to commit an armed crime register their weapon? Of course there are the few who may have registered in the distant past who were simply ignorant enough to commit a crime with such a weapon, but they represent the infinitesimal percentage of those caught. What you really have to look it is cost vs. benefit. The numbers simply do not support registry. Also, what will come next? Registering all blunt objects, all knives, and all household chemicals as weapons? PocketRocket, you do have a valid point, but it actually did begin as an argument against the government policies themselves. I retract my previous statement about 'liberal' governing being the singular problem.

True... so did Hitler.... By the way, how much has bilingualism cost us? Can you imagine where we could be if Trudeau had not simply thrown out the many billions on his multilingual idiocy and his conversion of measurement systems. We sure as hell would be somewhere better than we are...

The sad thing is... no one is having fun... because of your liberal governing.

[sarcasm]That was an extremely useful and valid response Shakey...[/sarcasm]

Beautifully said Argus. Caesar, what do you believe a Harper government would do to detriment our great country? The previous liberal 'regime' has basically set our country onto such an economic and social self-destructive path that it would go to reason that any succeeding government could do nothing but improve the state of it all. However, the current Martin government has done little in the way of damage-control. I would much rather have an untested government in place than one which has proven itself to be incompetent.
