PM Harper answers questions at SARM

[CptnObvious]

Bucket has it right. The Cons could have done all they wanted to gun ownership/registry in their first majority term. Keeping the issue alive so they can tweak it once in a while to 'protect your rights' is pure crass politics and nothing else.

[Kodiak]

And Liberals promising to bring back the gun registry isn't?

[bucket]

To be fair gun laws probably have to be looked at once in a while.

But they are never proactive in doing anything about them. It's always reactive when it comes to guns.

They could be proactive on the railway file. Although the longer they wait it becomes reactive or someone else's problem.

But watch how quickly the conservatives will have all the answers as to how to fix it. Looking thru some previous studies and MPs comments it seems this should have been fixed long ago.

It's not and the only conclusion I can come to is that my MP is on the take from the railway.

Harper keeps bringing it up, so people like TOM and OLIVER 88 continue to send in their personal cheques for the Con party of Canada.

These quy's lap it up and fall for it every time. It's call stoking the fire.

No PM can pick his nose without pissing off someone.
I would rather have election fluff issues from this one than the current choices.
The parties that support abuses like at High River are the same ones who jailed you for exporting wheat.
I support your right to vote for anyone. Also your duty not to be stupid.

Farma,

The railways have been on top from the very beginning... High risk... also high reward if things can be manipulated to work to their benefit... as it is a high cost capital monopoly... which is the freight follows the revenue flows!

So keep rewarding the Con's for continually screwing up. That really insure accountability. Alberta, prefect case in point.

blackpowder: No party supports the heavy handed tactics shown in High River, though all will agree that safe storage of firearms is important, and no one has ever been jailed for selling wheat as far as I know( Canada customs seized trucks for exporting without permits, just as they would today, and people were arrested for stealing property out of lawful impound).

Where does Trudeau say he will bring back the gun registry. Just asking. My goodness, we spend time discussing gun legislation when we are going to lose our hard fought freedom,our economy is in the basement,our ag issues are numerous,fraud and unethical behaviour is rampant in the govt,our international image is a joke,this govt cannot get XL done....

[perfecho]

Guns need not be registered, but you do. So if you have guns at home, and have had them along time, but your not registered, your basically in the same boat as registration.....

[perfecho]

Just a way of living up to an election promise, but not really.....

[blackpowder]

Well I got the expected response. Too funny.
Allan Rock said only the military and police should own firearms. It took decades to push the pendulum back for a while. Sound familiar?
Decades of working patiently with the halls of power no matter the party finally got a small reward re: _ _ _. Our industry has issues left to deal with, the RRs being a part. The way some of you carry on here, it's no wonder the govt doesn't respond. Regardless of party.
Get your shit together and prepare for decades of talking.
Alberta needs an opposition I agree. Wildrose is again a laughing stock judging by local candidates.
The federal conservatives days are numbered of course. We all know where the other party's power base is. The Libtards we may have but no one in their right mind out in the real world would vote for JT.
