Liberating The RCMP

Canada's new government has begun scrapping their controversial gun-registration program, and the incoming minister of Public Security warns his countrymen that the total cost of the program will shock them. However, the program had hidden, non-monetary costs that may only become apparent when viewed in a wider context...When the Liberals added the registry to the federal gun control program in 1995, they said it would cost taxpayers no more than $2 million...the most recent estimates put the figure in the hundreds of millions of dollars, bringing the total cost of the gun program to more than $1-2 billion...Comments (16)

(Alphecca has more thoughts on the general uselessness of registration programs in general, via Instapundit.)
 It's not just the waste, although that's atrocious -- nearly $2-billion for a dysfunctional pile of uselessness. And it's not just the uselessness. The registry is also one of those truisms for liberals, one of their articles of blind faith. To a liberal, universal registration of guns is something all intelligent people must support or, well, they're not intelligent. They use gun control as a litmus test for who is and isn't sophisticated and subtle of mind. So that even if you can prove the registry will have no practical effect -- it won't prevent armed robberies or murders, or keep enraged spouses from killing one another -- a liberal still has to cling to it for fear of being seen as NOKD (not our kind, dear).
GUN REGISTRATION: Such a bad idea that even the Canadians are scrapping it. "One former Mountie called the registry 'totally useless' because criminals don't register their guns." Too bad they didn't figure that out a few billion dollars ago, but at least it's an object lesson for the United States.

Gun Registry Approaching 3B Tax Dollars AG Report --The gun registry, yet another total waste of taxpayer money. This is yet again another clear demonstration of our government catering to a few at the expense of the majority.
Note- originally foisted off to the Canadian taxpayer as costing 180 million dollars, the Registry keeps breaking new ceilings of cost- 1 billion, 2 billion, 3 billion-- who knows what it really is costing, with crooked books?
Criminals do not register their tools.
Grandma's goose gun is rarely used in holdups or drive-by shootings.
The money squandered on this sop to "we gotta do something about gun violence" could have bought MRI machines for Canada's lagging health care system... or strengthened its military. Or sealing the porous border.
Where did the billions go?

Toronto's new lost generation (Conservative-bashing editorial)--Been working in Toronto for a couple of months. You have no idea how bad things are. There is this great glee about multiculturalism, which means there is no longer a Canadian culture. In Ontario, 1/3 of the high school students opts for a 5th year of HS to have more time to "adjust". All signs are printed in English and French, even in Ontario, but the language you hear all around, even in the workplace, is most likely going to be middle Eastern or Asian. Really scary place.

Looks like a hack has been confirmed (Multi-page thread 1 2 3 ... Last Page)--any firearms owner who ever had his home broken into has a legitimate claim for extra compensation from the federales as this brake in may have been the result of the government failing to secure our information.

United Nations Proposal: World Taxation Without Representation

Put this on your radar screen a/s/a/p. An international gun to your head to rob you blind so the UN can what? Fund terror? This is outrageous.

A few months ago the UN had its sights firmly on the Internet. Thanks to Kincaid and others these designs were exposed early on and the UN was forced temporarily to back off taxation of the Internet. The retreat is only tactical - one step back toKofi_ark_5 take two steps forward.

We need him as our watchdog, informing us about the latest UN outrages.

 Toronto Sun EDITORIAL: Daycare fight won’t be kid stuff-- Everyone from interim Liberal leader Bill Graham to CUPE Ontario president Sid Ryan to Canada’s daycare lobby now insists they are ready to bring down PM Stephen Harper’s government in order to save Canada’s national daycare program. We think they should be careful what they wish for.
First, contrary to myth, Paul Martin’s Liberals never established a national daycare program. They promised one during the 1993, 1997, 2000 and 2004 elections, but didn’t deliver.

Brace Yourself, Canada

The armies of Ipsos-Reid, Decima and SES are once again firing up the phone banks to survey election-weary Canadians so that our national media can run front page headlines declaring "Majority of Canadians Don't Want Election"  Comments (33) -- An election in the immediate future would be a good thing, as annoying as that sounds.
Either the conservatives win a majority, and take steps to reduce federal power and intrusion on our freedoms, which is fine by me, or the Libs win, and the country comes apart - reducing federal power and intrusion on our freedoms.
Also OK, IMHO. ;)

One Year After Gomery

Yesterday marked the anniversary of a CQ post that started a wave of indignation and anger in Canada, as the Gomery Commission attempted to close its doors to blockbuster testimony to all but the powerful and connected. Titled "Canada's Corruption Scandal Breaks Wide Open", it gave ordinary Canadians an opportunity to learn about the specifics of the Sponsorship Programme scandal that had been deliberately withheld from them by a publication ban -- although the witnesses were testifying in an open hearing. By the time I posted the second in a series on the testimony, more than a million Canadians had flocked to CQ to read what their pressed had been banned from reporting to them. Much has changed in the twelve months since that post. The Liberal stranglehold on power crashed on the news of their high-level involvement in Adscam, although former Prime Minister Paul Martin finagled his way through several months of Let's Make A Deal, which cost Canadian taxpayers another $4 billion in deals with the NDP. Stephen Harper, thought by many at the time to be too "scary" to ever rise to governing the nation, now has strengthened the Tory position to a near-majority standing among the electorate. In fact, a recent poll shows that 81% of Canadians want the Harper government to continue for at least the next year, and the Tories and Harper lead the Liberals now by ten points and Harper's government garners an astounding 62% approval rating.  Comments (9)

Key Adscam Figure Gets 18 Months

One of the three key Sponsorship Programme figures facing criminal charges in the fraud conspiracy has had a prison sentence imposed on him after prosecutors appealed his initial sentencing. Paul Coffin, who pled guilty to 15 counts of fraud stemming from the $1.6 million of taxpayer money he collected from taxpayers, got sentenced to 18 months in prison earlier today (via Newsbeat1): I wrote about the ridiculous sentence given Coffin last year on September 19th in a post called "Steal Big, Risk Little".

Entitled To Their Entitlements

Last seen being dragged kicking and screaming from their expense accounts... Comments (89) "For those of you disgruntled Libranos who think that the Conservatives are 'cheap' or 'chippy chiselers': It is so obvious that you cannot discern proper, ethical expense accounting practices from the piggies-at-the-trough practices of your crooked librano heros, that it is pathetic. Wake up and grow up, you bunch of deposed whining entitlement freaks..."

All hell about to break loose over gun registry...
[ Goto pageGoto page: 1, 2 ]--Imagine how much safer everyone would be had these outrageous expenses gone into neighbourhood policing in communities where it was most needed... Some of the eastern media is still in love with the gun registry, simply because a registry leads one down the road to prohibition and confiscation sooner or later. This was the real reason for the registry, not public safety as the Liberals tried to lie and lead us to believe.
