.........or check for a pulse.LOL I'm not surprised at the remarks of the OPP Dep.Comm. He was addressing a victims rememberance ceremony for the Montreal massacre. WTH did you think he would say? People in these positions are grand masters at "playing them the music they want to hear."Quote:

Liberals want "other" people to give their money. Like Wynne's pension plan where PS don't contribute to it but get the jobs and raises and pensions from the money raised.
Congratulations on reposting the article we've already discussed at length.Quote:

The fact that politicians lie doesn't mean they'll do the things you fear. Harper's "hidden agenda" never came to pass, in spite of his past statements, in spite of his record of untruths, because he was a pragmatist above all. And the Liberals have always been a pragmatic party -- that's why they've been so good at keeping power.Quote:

What the Liberals really care about is keeping power. Just as Harper distanced his party from his back-bench pro-death-penalty, anti-abortion ideologues, Trudeau is not going to pay political penalties to push through someone's gun control agenda. So there is no reason to think there is a nefarious secret plan to bring in a registry disguised as something else.
Read the thread title. Why when you cannot prove such a thing, and quotes actually disprove it , you insist on going off on other tangents? There are other threads for your rhetoric.
It's the Liberals who claimed hidden agendas. My concern isn't Trudough starting a registry, it's Wynne bringing in some type of revenue tool/tax and using it as a mask to create a needed database to ensure compliance. That would create new PS jobs and that pretty well is how she retains power. The OPP want one and the Libs and OPP are in bed together, one protects the other. I have no doubt whatsoever that some type of government "list" will happen in Ontario before her mandate ends. Most people don't care about guns and those that do are spread too thin in ridings for it to cost her much support. She can "not" talk about it or even deny it but she is anti gun and I don't believe anything she says. Her track record shows I'm not wrong.Quote:

As anyone who has been on a debating team knows, once the other side gets personnel, you have won the argument.
Words you should pay attention to.Quote:
