As long as you are all right. I was worried you had decided to lead the Liberal party. As far as Harper is concerned, He has too many members who talk first and think second, some of them are very like Carolyn Parrish, so he is silencing some of the output till the members get used to being a government. Look at Chretien, my local Liberal MP did nothing in Parliament for 15 years but read Anniversary notices, and birthday greetings and he did vote against Gay marriage. That was his whole contribution for 15 years. He did go to parades and to festivals, but in 15 years we got nothing. Think about that. He even sat with his mouth shut when Paul Martin pulled the Mounties out of the Niagara Region, and the Niagara Regional Police became responsible for patrolling the Canadian Border. Imagine a local hick town police force responsible for miles and miles of waterfront and the Niagara Gorge. Toronto has a gun problem, I could, but do not bring in hundreds of guns. I have lived in Niagara for many years. It would be no problem, and we should have trained border security, and we don't. Chretien and martin paid no attention to keeping the country safe. Harper would not have been my first choice for PM, but Pauly POckets was my last choice, better Gilles DuCeppe lead Canada, than Paul Martin.

fresc I believe STRONGLY in public healthcare (even after knowing its inner working all too well) and public education... which does not go far enough.... I want a strong military... so no one can just walk in here... I'm all for gays having equal rights but get frustrated at the nomenclature and semantics... ie.. the term 'marriage' itself even being relevant to equal rights... I think the gun registry for long guns is a colossal wait of time and money... So am I am what ? an extremist ? Al
