Public and Private Stuff

Well I for one am glad to see the gun registry survive. What is most 'heartening' was to see that those who supported the continuation of the registry seemed to all be saying it needed to be fixed. Rather than abolish it, they argue let's discuss how it can be made better. Truly a 'Canadian' solution. A solution based on men and women calmly reviewing its operation and finding ways to make it more acceptable to hunters, trappers, Aboriginal folks, and other rural people.

Really unfortunate that those who lost today don't wish to 'compromise'. Rather they wish to make this (along with others) a so-called 'wedge' issue. Canadian voters need to have a chance to say loud and clear which type of issue approach they prefer. Bring on the federal election to allow us to decide we have had enough of ideological-based public policy.

Switching gears totally, had a recent annual physical. One result is I am having a new procedure early next week. The professionals have decided to do an examination of another part of my anatomy - the bladder. From reading what I can the procedure is relatively easy to take and fortunately, requires no advanced preparation.
