		<title>Is the RCMP funding the gun control lobby?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Ever since I was sent an internal RCMP memo penned by T. G. Killam, the deputy commissioner who is responsible for the Canadian Firearms Program, telling members to keep their opinions of the registry to themselves I have begun to wonder just how deeply the RCMP is in bed with the gun control lobby. Sadly, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Deputy Commissioner Killam to Mounties: Keep your opinions to yourselves.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Like most people, I often suspect certain machinations are afoot behind the scenes of our various public policy debates. It isn&#8217;t all that often, however, that I&#8217;m handed a smoking gun, as it were. There has been considerable press given to the intervention in the C-391 debate by the CACP, CAPB and CPA and over [...]]]></description>

		<title>CACP and the &#8220;truth&#8221;.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Its been a while since I blogged &#8211; mainly because things have been in much of a holding pattern for the past while and because there wasn&#8217;t much going on. Oh I know, there have been a least a dozen attempts at lame &#8220;scandals&#8221; as of late but it seems that Canadians are a little [...]]]></description>

		<title>Spousal Abuse and Firearms.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I don&#8217;t often post related to firearms but the recent spate of letters and comments in the press from the Coalition for Gun Control and the Canadian Chiefs of Police has been getting on my nerves. While they might like to claim that the gun registry is necessary for the safety of women the fact [...]]]></description>

		<title>We will remember.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below. We are the Dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved, and now we lie In [...]]]></description>

		<title>Ignatieff&#8217;s Revisionist History</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Michael Ignatieff has been telling anyone who will listen that the Liberals are not interested in forming a coalition with the NDP and Bloc. The Globe and Mail reported on Saturday that Ignatieff is taking umbrage with the latest CPC commercial attacking him for planning a &#8220;reckless coalition&#8221; in order to seize power if the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Elizabeth May chooses a different windmill.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I suppose the Green Party, with its dedication to the environment, has a soft spot for windmills. That&#8217;s the only way I can explain why Elizabeth May has decided to run in the B.C. riding of Saanich-Gulf Islands in the upcoming federal election. Ms. May received a boost in the 2008 election when then-Liberal leader [...]]]></description>

		<title>Ignatieff pulls the trigger.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday Michael Ignatieff announced that the Liberal party would no longer &#8220;support&#8221; the Conservative government. The vagueness of his speech &#8211; would they not vote in favor? would they vote against? &#8211; was clarified by a number of Liberal MPs including deputy-leader Bob Rae who left no doubt when they stepped up to the podium.

		<title>Ignatieff &#8211; &#8220;Harper government on Double-Secret Probation!&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After the last Conservative budget the Liberals, under new leader Michael Ignatieff, indicated that they were holding the CPC on &#8220;probation&#8221; and that they expected updates on how things were proceeding. Now, with their popularity lagging in the polls and the economy starting to turn around the Liberals are finding themselves with a shrinking list [...]]]></description>

		<title>An Election won&#8217;t cause instability?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I often find myself wondering how politicians manage to say things that are so obviously ridiculous as to be laughable with a completely straight face. Recently Michael Ignatieff told Le Devoir, a French-language newspaper, that “an election would not create instability.” The Toronto Sun is reporting that Conservatives are lashing out at the Liberals over [...]]]></description>
