Or It Could Come Later Rather Than Sooner...

You know, I thought when summer ended, Canadian politics would become interesting enough again that this kind of vacuous speculation re the timing of the next federal election would be replaced by substantive debates over issues of importance. But, eyeing the gov's fall agenda, I guess not. I mean, for example, why push mandatory minimum sentences for human smuggling if you never catch any human smugglers in the first place? Isn't that like making a law to ban leprechauns? Who cares if it does or does not pass?

Oh, and here's Monte Solberg rattling on about the gun registry again. You don't have to read it...or rather, you're read it already 1,000 times before.

My problem under these circumstances is I'm running out of MPs with decent hair to write about. Hmm. This one isn't too bad.

And we're back to 'Canadians are very bad people and Canada is a very dangerous place', so let's have Canadians soooo scared of their own shadows, they'll vote in a majority...Scary thing is, It got GW Bush a second term in office

More alarming, Orwell wrote about using perpetual war to frighten people into submission back in 1948, and almost no one caught the parallels with the war on terror. But then people who read books are elites.

That's right CK and Tof KW and it might get Sara Palin "elected" in the USA.Canada is already a police state. Declining crime rates are just another fact to ignore.Let alone the nitemare that is called The Drug War(more Orwell).But who to fire?!lol Shawn
