Trudeau handing election to Scheer - Toronto Sun

[The Green Barbarian]

trudeau is awesome. and a shot across the bow of evangelicals is wonderful. seeing the church squirm like they make everyone else do is fun to see.

you forgot he's also shooting at the Muslims and the Jews. Do you like seeing Jews squirm too? While goose-stepping?

That's an interesting take. Probably correct too. Too much "political correctness" and folks get fed up with it.

If you want to change things, there is a difference between showing folks a better way, and rubbing their noses in it. Also have to accept that some folks won't like the change, and "shaming" only increases the resistance to change. Tricky balance, but the Liberals seem to have missed the mark, partly because change has an acceptable pace, a rate of acceptance by society.

That rate of acceptance of change is variable by topic, and some are very low rates of acceptance of change.

I think the transition away from fossil fuels is one of those areas where the Liberals are in tough.

There are significant elements within society that don't agree with any change in that regard, and then you have the noisy and counterproductive LEAP twerps who figure the whole of society should just "flip a switch".

Neither position is tenable, and the noisy LEAP twerps and other "green" cultists are actually lowering the rate of change by promoting "solutions" that don't work, and are neither suitable nor effective. These "eco activist" types have even managed to really get my hackles up, and I happen to believe that we do need to transition away from fossil fuel usage.

Unfortunately, that puts real and effective actions at risk. https://www.technologyreview.com/s/527106/how-and-why-us-greenhouse-gas-emissions-are-falling/

"Greenhouse gas emissions in the United States fell to their lowest level in 17 years in 2012, according to a new report from the Environmental Protection Agency. Additional data from the U.S. government show why: the trend is largely the result of a rapid drop in coal-fired electricity, and a corresponding rise in electricity generated by cleaner fuels, especially natural gas."

Yup - and what do we see the likes of the LEAPers and Andrew Weaver's Greens lining up against? Natural gas. And don't even mention the generations of safe nuclear power plants around those folks.

Such is the dilemma of governance.

Went to the event yesterday to hear Scheer speak. Was surprised at the big turn-out. And the amount of anger with the Liberals right now over various idiotic nonsense they've been responsible for lately.

He talked about Bill C-71, which is some sort of new gun registry? Are the Liberals really dumb enough to bring this failed dinosaur back from their past?

SUMMARY

Part 1 of this Act amends the Firearms Act to, among other things,
(a) remove the reference to the five-year period, set out in subsection 5(2) of that Act, that applies to the mandatory consideration of certain eligibility criteria for holding a licence;
(b) require, when a non-restricted firearm is transferred, that the transferee’s firearms licence be verified by the Registrar of Firearms and that businesses keep certain information related to the transfer; and
(c) remove certain automatic authorizations to transport prohibited and restricted firearms.

Part 1 also amends the Criminal Code to repeal the authority of the Governor in Council to prescribe by regulation that a prohibited or restricted firearm be a non-restricted firearm or that a prohibited firearm be a restricted firearm and, in consequence, the Part
(a) repeals certain provisions of regulations made under the Criminal Code; and
(b) amends the Firearms Act to grandfather certain individuals and firearms, including firearms previously prescribed as restricted or non-restricted firearms in those provisions.

Furthermore, Part 1 amends section 115 of the Criminal Code to clarify that firearms and other things seized and detained by, or surrendered to, a peace officer at the time a prohibition order referred to in that section is made are forfeited to the Crown.

Part 2, among other things,
(a) amends the Ending the Long-gun Registry Act, by repealing the amendments made by the Economic Action Plan 2015 Act, No. 1, to retroactively restore the application of the Access to Information Act and the Privacy Act to the records related to the registration of non-restricted firearms until the day on which this enactment receives royal assent;
(b) provides that the Access to Information Act and the Privacy Act continue to apply to proceedings that were initiated under those Acts before that day until the proceedings are finally disposed of, settled or abandoned; and
(c) directs the Commissioner of Firearms to provide the minister of the Government of Quebec responsible for public security with a copy of such records, at that minister’s request.
