The Gun Registry: Facts vs. Conservative Ideology

Aug 31
I have always believed that when it comes to setting government policy, we should be looking at the facts and the evidence before making a decision. The Harper government tells us they want to be tough on crime. So why do they want to abolish the long-gun registry when police use it 11,000 times a day? My Conservative opponent, Ed Holder, was quoted in the August 31, 2010 edition of the London Free Press as saying that he will vote to abolish the registry. I find it very disappointing and disheartening that Mr. Holder will be voting based on Conservative ideology and not based on the facts and evidence. more »

Conservative Ideology and Census Insanity

July 6
