Buh Bye
So the government actually worked together to accomplish something and voted to abolish the long gun registry. Many Canadians are rejoicing to finally see something being done about this billion dollar boondoggle.  

H1N1 Hysteria
The past two weeks have been rather interesting, not only in my city, but across Canada. What makes it interesting is the hysteria and almost comical nature surrounding the h1n1 vaccination program, or lack thereof. Just reading the news online has led me to wonder how they could screw something like this up, especially after hyping it up and saying they were on it and they had enough vaccines for everyone in Canada.

Ottawa spends more than half a million to defend RCMP, officers at Taser inquiry By James Keller (CP) – 7 hours ago VANCOUVER, B.C. — The federal government spent more than half a million dollars defending the RCMP and the actions of the four officers who stunned Robert Dziekanski with a Taser at Vancouver's airport. Pathetic! The taxpayer is paying for these mooks to be defended for their reprehensible actions. Just as we did for the Somalia affair in the 90's, only to have that one cut short by the Chretien government and t
