Early morning, La Crosse Wisconsin – I’m here giving a seminar, and so I’ve got a long three days ahead of me as we tend to go late into the evening. Little time available to even check email and as soon as I’m finished up Sunday,we’ll hit the road for home, so blogging activity will remain slow here until Tuesday. You may use this thread for readers tips and whatnot. Hopefully, the weather where you are is better than it is here!
(Sorry some of your comments were held up for so long – I’ll try to get in at least once a day to release those caught in the filter. To prevent it happening, scroll down – there are a few posts below with advice on that score.)
Saturday pm; People will think I woke up drunk… I think I broke a record for typos with that one. Most are corrected now – I hope.
And I note – that ‘5,000 requests a day’ totally false data, is being trotted out again and again, by those unionists, and civil service types who want to retain the gun registry (and their jobs).
If they would only think. Just a bit. Do they seriously assert that there are 35,000 gun related crimes per week, in Canada?????
No, there aren’t. Those ‘hits’ have zilch to do with the gun registry, with crime solving, with criminal activity. They can be computer hits about anything – from paying the fee, to an address insertion, to sending out a bill, and there are double, triple hits…They have NOTHING to do with crime in Canada.
But- the MSM repeats this ‘meme’ again and again. Without thought.
Willy’s not-so-cheap advice: cliche worth $3,000 per plate fund-raiser in TO.
“wag the dog”, Willy Clinton: barf…
“But he said the last thing anyone would want to do is let the “health care finance tail wag the health care dog.”

ET, same wavelength about polls and the exact question asked. No one ever thinks to question the lead-in or the preamble.
We need professional standards set for polls and the public will be aware of fairness.
Pete, I like the way you point out how the jounalist sets up hypothetical framework and then provides the results.
Notice he mentions environment, social policy, Aboriginal policy and Ontario as areas of difficulty, yet if one pauses to think, except for relations with Red Ontario, ANY government is bound to have a bumpy ride in those areas. TG
Your gun registry $1,000,000,000 and more…..
Feel safer….. vote Librano$
“Despite controversy and cost overruns, the gun registry has supporters. Police consult the firearms databank approximately 5,000 times every day and officers say limiting the types of guns listed will not help law enforcement.”

5,000 x 7 days makes 35,000 per week per year is 35,000 x 52 is 1,820,000 consults over one year.
1,820,000 consults per year?
Correct? Someone please verify.
Credit to ET who has pointed this propaganda out already.

Bill permits 193 million more aliens by 2026 By Charles Hurt THE WASHINGTON TIMES May 16, 2006 The Senate immigration reform bill would allow for up to 193 million new legal immigrants — a number greater than 60 percent of the current U.S. population — in the next 20 years, according to a study released yesterday. “The magnitude of changes that are entailed in this bill — and are largely unknown — rival the impact of the creation of Social Security or the creation of the Medicare program,” said Robert Rector, senior policy analyst at the Heritage Foundation who conducted…
