Getting stuck with another long-gun registry bill

[rick_iles]

Most people I know and associate with in 'real' life, don't hunt or fish and would wonder why we worry about something that is of little consequence in the grand scheme of things.

You really should hang out with a better class of people !

Maybe your right, I have golf friends , hockey friends , curling friends, fishing friends, hunting friends, and how we remain friends is we do not discuss religion or politics. I hunt and or fish 3-4 times a week , but I like to do that in solitude, with just me and my dog .

Religion and politics - I've got the same views as virtually all my friends on these.

PS unions - that's the one we don't discuss.

My hunting/fishing friends joke about what non-hunters/fishers do in their spare time.....wait for their husbands to come home.

Even though I consider a friend G, lol, man sometimes I wonder

Are friends really friends if you can't discuss X for fear of ruining or tarnishing the friendship?
If my non hunting friends and I have many, some of whom are either anti or anti TH, can't or won't discuss hunting with me and I have to feel as though its taboo with them. They aren't my friends to begin.

Friends you should be able to talk about anything. Good friends can do so, even when on polar opposite sides. It's not about agreeing, or avoiding the topics. It's about respecting people and their perspectives even when in disagreement.

Man life would be boring if I couldn't discuss politics, religion, hunting, sex, same sex, or any other topic people sometimes feel they shouldn't talk about, especially with friends.

Back on topic.
The liberals haven't earned my trust. One JT is mostly show without substance and the people behind him.......Then as with most all politicians a great number of his campaign promises have already been punted. Say what you have to get elected, then you can always back off and claim

The books were worse than expected..check
Its proving to be more difficult than expected "international agreements" ( legalizing pot) check
Its proving to be harder (Refugees) check
Its proving to be harder...taxing the rich, breaks for the middle class and um.....something called reality and revenue shortfalls. Check

On this topic.
We know the relationship with Que. We know or should know a big reason they got trounced in 2011 is because Que went to the NDP....Hence a great need to secure that block. See also stealing seats from under the NDP in the Atlantic with ship building contracts.(vote buying).

We know the relationship with Ontario, with Wynne and now the Unions.
We know Wynne will lick his feet for money....
We know all politicians like things they can either hide, or enact but optically their hands are clean. See Wynne and OPP 8.5% raise. Thats being passed on to peons through municple taxes, not provincial.

Not hard to all to "support" Quebec and also see extra money head there, either directly for a registry or indirectly and some creating bookkeeping.

Ditto Wynne, who has already used transfer payments (supposed to be for healthcare) for other things and her friends.

In the end, cash flows to friends and he keeps their "promise". and we can be irate with the provincial goats for registries, or he can "blame" them...Aka we won't bring any in, but if Que and Ontario do it on their own (wink wink)...well thats their prerogative.

No matter what side you pick in the religious or political debate, it is just your opinion, a friend will not try to convince you your opinion is wrong, just different from theirs. If I am trying to hit a 56 degree gap wedge into a tight pin, I do not want my golf partner to bring up the idea that god might have something to do with the outcome.

[JBen]

Well obviously not. But if having beer back in the clubhouse and he brings up god, or ISIL or...you going to avoid the topic? I have all kinds of friends. You know from my Facebook feed, nothing is taboo with me. Lots of them are teachers, Leo/opp, fire fighters, (Politics came up a lot in hunt camp as did the Unions and they are all LEO/FF) and just regular peons who earn around the means...

Sometimes, certainly not always there is a right or wrong.
For example. Would be hard to the Liberals aren't corrupt (Gas plants, Sudbury, Unions). Or the cost to peons (exploding Hydro, taxation)?

Likewise.
Gun control. No way to really answer ( I think) if theres a right/wrong. But lets play the "what if game" and say they bring in some. Maybe simply for what if, theoretical purposes......they make semi's a restricted.
Right/Wrong? Who is to say.

Would be hard to argue that banning semis would be wrong if owners aren't compensated. Thats clearly "wrong"

Amazing...

In Toronto we had to stomach The Fords,s and they eventually got booted to the curb.Then we had Harper for ten long years and now people are asking Harper Who?

Majorities in Alberta,Ontario,and Federally and still the OAWG,s still bang on.Well that base is dying off daily and its going to be Sunny ways my friends,Sunny ways.

Mulroney was right on when he said of Justin 'DONT UNDERESTIMATE THIS GUY' .

Yeah, and that's working out so well. Seen the books in Ontario and Alberta? Seen the popularity of these two Premiers? How many police investigations is the Wynne government on? JT hasn't passed a budget yet and is in the honeymoon every winner gets. This too shall fade but being the closet dictator he really is he is about to game the electoral system to make the Liberal party almost guaranteed to win office forever now. This with over 60% of the country not having voted for him.

Sounds pretty much to be a clone of Harper then.
