Followups on variety of topics today.
In my last post I said Jack Layton was wrong on the long gun registry. I now realize I may have spoken 'prematurely'. Am very glad to see his idea of 'compromise' on registry has support of vast majority of his caucus. If all signs are right, the ideologues running our government will be defeated in next Wednesday's vote on the registry. I hope all members of the Liberal and Bloc Quebecois caucus vote as predicted as will most NDP members so the registry will continue. The police community should be pleased too and they are the most affected by the registry's presence.
I have heard repeated comments that 'nobody wants a (federal) election'. Many months ago I said I did. Elections are the highest marking of a viable democracy. I do hear some people saying maybe it is time to have election. I can only echo that and say 'bring it on'.
Fully engaged in life in the great province of Saskatchewan. Having lots of contact with adult child and most of our growing group of grandsons. One sometimes forgets how 'tiring' it can be to spend time with babies. Our nearly 9 month old grandson is now finding out how to get into lots of things that can hurt him... time for 'babyproofing' lots of our townhouse. Our nearly 8 year (the one with the very ill parent) is now at a school in our area. Our adolescent just the wonderful experience of attending a concert featuring one Jusin Bieber.
Still working for the Canadian Diabetes Association in Regina telerecruiting canvassers for an early November canvass. Still delivering newspapers at an 'ungodly' time (5 AM to 7 AM) in the mornings six days a week (:-)). Also still selling Canadian Mental Health Association (Sask. Division) cash calendars. In a few weeks I may start another job - driving a van of school children to and from school five days a week.
Switching back to federal politics I see that some are musing about improving decorum of the House of Commons. Improving decorum would be good but am unsure if any of the current 'players' have the skills to make this happen. I guess only time will tell.
