get paid to vote

[ratherbefishin]

The liberals are counting on you NOT to vote.Look at it this way- you'll be ''paid'' the $25  you now have to pay to register your guns, if you vote for any party who will simply put a stop to this nonsense.It didn't work, it saved no lives ands it proved to be nothoing more than a sink hole for yours and my tax dollars.If the Liberals would have listened to their own committees, they would have announced they were closing it down .But that would have been admitting they [a] made a huge mistake, or it was implemented just to buy votes[which they are good at]
Vote now , and consider  the money you save is the money you were paid to vote

The fee for registering guns is gone.........at least until the election.  Have bought two since the fee was lifted.  The registry doesn't bother me much.  The fee associated with it, the ignorance of non-shooting Canadians, and the huge financial cost overruns do.  The conservatives do scare me though, and you cannot forget that it was they that implemented the registry to begin with.  I am a Sask boy from way back and will probably vote NDP anyways, however, I don't know which would be worse, another 3-4 years of the Liberals, or the next 3-4 years with the Conservatives.

I thought that the Liberals under Trudeau implemented it initially.I have no objections to education, safe storage, and responsable firearms ownership, but the registry was clearly impractical and failed to do anything except curtail the legal sales of firearms- the illicit cross border gun trade continues unabated, as does the illegal possesion and use of handguns.And- if anyone questions whether the authorities are out of touch, or we need much tougher penalties for the criminal possesion and use of handguns, the courts recently sentanced a drug dealer who was found inpossesion of several restricted handguns
 a ''lifetime ban on possessing firearms''-as if that made any diference to him in any way, shape or form.

Well said.

doesn't Saskatchewan generally vote NDP?[going back to Tommy Douglas days?]BC generally votes against whoever is in, if they bother to vote at all.The general consensus out here is the vote is decided at the Ontario border anyway[ the american media announces who the winner is] by the time the Ontario polls close

I don't like the look of the Ontario polls lately. Time to get those CPC signs up.

well, no point squalling if we don;t do something about it.Out here on south Vancouver Island,both Liberal candidates are trailing third in the polls.
