Kmartin, that is exactly what they are…unable to say anything else other than the talking points. I have yet to hear how law abiding gun owners are being treated like criminals as per the talking points. Having read many a blog, the CONs have this habit of distorting the facts, blaming the liberals, trying to deflect the issue at hand, etc…that is why I have nothing but contempt for the CPC. If they were truly transparent, they would have relaeased all info, including the RCMP report, prior to the vote. However, it’s their nature to be secretive in all that they do. I wonder what they have to hide?

@Big Winnie, the conbot insult is one the things that make this blog look bad. You throw insults to the cons when backed into a corner instead of trying to reason and use real fact to back your point or to try to get your idea across. WInnie and Jon Pertwee are the worst offenders.

@Jon Pertwee, I have been lurking on this website for quite a while now and to a bit of a point i seen kwittet's point. he seemed very angry and rightfully so. all i see is the libs on here picking every little thing that the conservatives do apart yet not one liberal supporter is offering anything solid on how to do it better. go ahead and attack my point. I AM A LIBERAL but at the rate we are trying to get a real leader and reading this so called grassroots blog sometimes i think the cons are better!

Is that all you CONBOTS can do is try to deflect attention from the issue at hand? ANSWER THE DAMN QUESTION OR IS IT THAT YOU KNOW YOU ARE WRONG AND HAVE TO TRY TO PUSH IT BACK ON THE LIBERALS!!! You people disgust me!!!

@Big Winnie, Your points are about as valid as any other liberal. to quote your past mesiah chreitien the crook..whats a billion dollars? dont even quote dirty politics unless you can prove that your almighty liberals never engage in it.
you say the con game is the blame game? this blog is supposed to be a liberal blog but it is sadly a hunting ground for conservatives. thank god the reader base is so small(minded as well..yes that inclused me) that the pissy little rants of the liberals on here including scott never hit main stream media.
Now i have to go back to work and actually send some taxes into the feds so they can go spend it on stimulus that the libs forced on them while some sit in their basements doing nothing for society but blog.

LAST POST EVER..

this place is so very sad..do something for your country instead of f**king bitching and complaining!!

Besides, $65.8 million is just too much

Compared to what? Government advertising?

Jim, How much did Canada spend on Cancer research last year under this Conservative government? Moreover, instead of blaming the Liberals, which is the normal CON thing to do, the governemnt did absolutely NOTHING to obtain another supplier and they’ve had 4 years to do so!

I digress but this is another CON strategy to deflect the issue. Van Loan should have made the report public prior to the vote. This is nothing more than “dirty politics”. I also agree that as a “private member’s bill”, the Cons certainly wasted alot of taxpayer money trying to get it passed and all it’s done is pitted rural vs. urban voters (another strategy used consistently by Harper).

Why are folks screaming about ‘excessive’ registration costs then?

Mark – the registry *doesn’t* charge gun owners. It hasn’t for quite some time, which is one of the reasons why it costs taxpayers so much. And I don’t recall any intrusive details being asked on the firearms registration form. The PAL form is another matter – maybe that’s what you were thinking of.
