Ministikwan Lake is nestled within the Bronson Forest, you would be hard pressed to find any local resident who doesn’t spend time in the forest chasing after a moose, deer or elk.
This week’s announcement by Mr. Harper to abolish the “Long Gun Registry” if elected with a majority, will quite likely be well received, if you believe the words that he spoke.
I hate to be sceptical but I still have a deficit from the dramatic losses in the stock market when Canadians were told the Energy trust funds would not be touched.
Then low and behold Bay Street must have flexed its muscle and the Trusts went down the tube leaving the small Canadian investor holding the substantially devalued paper and Mr. Flaherty still smiling.
So what has changed? Do we suddenly roll over and take it again or do we ask a question or two. We know the Long gun registry costs millions of taxpayers’ dollars to administer.
How will this money be re – profiled to benefit the taxpayer? Or will Canadians receive a tax credit or rebate or will it just be chalked up to an administrational flop and the cash re-absorbed into the general coffers.
Even with all the unknowns, Harper gets my vote on this question. Now that the election is well under way I am still wondering if I have an MP.
What I do know is that since our MP has been elected he has stayed as far away from the Goat trail as possible, kind of like the Hairy Guy everyone knows he’s there yet no one sees him (sasquatch).
