Double Trouble for the Major Political Parties
A preliminary analysis of the 2008 election results in British Columbia, reveals a trend to a large swing to the Green Party at the expense of the CPC, LPC and NDP. The Greens have gone from a provincial average of 5.3% of the vote in 2006 to 9.4%. which is an increase of 76%. We must await the official results to become available in a few weeks for total accuracy but for our purposes we will celebrate nearly double as a confirmation that the Morning Glory Rebellion may have achieved some result in our plan to warn the established parties that we have had enough!
Regardless of whatever or whoever was responsible, unhappy people are parking their votes and thus the three major parties all suffered a loss of voter support..
I am sure that Stephan Dion, for his failure, will be down the road by next Spring.
When that happens, Caesar Stephanus will start to panic in fear of the inevitable election call and subsequent Liberal resurgence. This is especially dangerous for him if a bilingual Anglo like Frank McKenna of New Brunswick becomes the new leader of the Liberal Party.If in doubt, read Canadian political history. Also plaguing him will be the government accounts which will be fairly well depleted due to world economics, low oil, gas and uranium prices, low personal income tax and corporate returns and his drunken bribing during the recent election run-up.
The Morning Glory Rebellion will now enter phase 2; an advertising campaign and concurrent fund raising effort. All money will be split evenly between funding the advertising and the WRT Legal Aid Fund, which was recently depleted in order to support four current legal Charter Challenges to the Firearms Act . Those four separate cases are being fought by Bruce Montague, Mike Kearney, Ed Hudson and Ed Scherbey.
Donations will be gladly accepted and used for the stated purpose. If you wish for anonymity make your payment to me, in person, by Postal Money Order and mail to:
Willy Floyd,
The Morning Glory Rebels,
Box 193,
Westbridge, B.C. V0H 2B0
All Donations will be acknowledged with receipt and record kept on a secret (paper) file.
The Morning Glory Rebellion was so designed that no one would know who is involved other than me. I do not know who you are and no one will ever know who voted Green because of my appeal. We will be ready to fight the battle again if the Conservatives do not wake up and dump the Firearms Act and replace it with legislation that attacks criminal behavior without intruding in any way on the lawful activities of law abiding gun owners. Self defence is our Right and we demand that our government acknowledge it rather than forcing us to constantly grovel for what is inherently ours.
God granted us all that freedom but governments want to take it away. They might do so on paper (such as Bill C 68 (1995) but no one can take the right of self defence away from a person UNLESS THAT PERSON AGREES. Even then, that forfeiture cannot apply to another human.
Those who have registered themselves as gun owners may have compromised their right of self defence in the eyes of the bureaucracy and the courts but the fact remains that while you are alive you can redeem that right on demand. Do it! Demand to be de-registered.

Why Gamble - Your Way to Victory is Clear
The Following message was posted today to the Canadian Firearms Digest. It might be meaningful to all disgruntled Canadians.
Less than two weeks to go so there is lots of time to consider the options we face. There are only two that make any sense.
Cross your fingers, pray, and vote for Harper when every evidence points to a continued pressure by his Party to eventually remove all firearms, or
Park your vote temporarily with the Greens, knowing full well that they can never even form a minor opposition. Know that in B.C. in 2006 the average number of votes that won a Riding was 23,136 votes.
Which of the 36 Ridings in B.C. is likely to produce 23,000 votes for the Greens, no matter how many are convinced to go that route?
ZERO.
No Green Candidate elected means absolutely no input into the Gun Debate, their stated policy be damned, but......
vote Green and hand Harper another minority and watch the sparks fly! Let Harper see how many citizens are cheesed off by his continuous enforcing of the LIEBERAL Gun Laws, buying of votes, especially in Ontario & Quebec, Race-Based salmon fishery in B.C., Income Trust cock-up, ad nauseum and we will see a change of attitude or we will see a change of the residents at 24 Sussex.
Let him see that he cannot ever win a majority without the EARNED supposrt of we two million plus honest, trustworthy Canadians. Then you will see him do what he has to do and EARN THAT SUPPORT. He must eventually force another election by introducing a "Repeal C 68 Bill". Then he may win a majority.
Or, you can retreat back to square one, try to give him a majority now without him ever giving you reason to trust him and we can do a tearful prayer dance around a massive pile of walnut gunstocks.
I will bet my next pension cheque that on the 14th many of you "Doubting Thomases" will see the light and give Lizzy May your $ 1.70.
It will be the cheapest investment you have ever made for your grandchildren's future rights. They do not have any at present.
For the good of us all let us see some of that 1812, VIMY and JUNO BEACH SPIRIT. We must strike strategically.

DECISION TIME IS NIGH
YOUR CHOICE
Now that the election has been called you have 30 days to decide what you are going to do. If you are truly happy with Harper’s handling of things over the last two and a half years, then vote for him, by all means. If you are UNHAPPY you must make a voting choice that will express your unhappiness. It is too late now to talk of joining the CPC and voice your opinion at the next local Association meeting.
Let’s talk choices, there are only five,
1) Vote for another major party candidate but first take a good hard look at Dion and Layton and what they can or will do for you,
2) Vote for all candidates, thus spoiling your ballot and tell them all that you are unhappy. This will not send a message to anyone.
3) Do not vote. This will send a message to no one because they will not know why you did not vote.
4) Park your vote with the Green Party Candidate - there will be one in all 308 Ridings. That will upset the results in at least 28 Ridings and will result in another minority CPC government. It will also be the eventual death knell to both Harper and Dion because they will quickly lose the support of their political party’s hierarchy. If the Greens do win a couple of seats as a result of a mass parking of votes they will have no influence in a parliament of any mixture.
5) Or vote for a Libertarian Candidate if one is running in your Riding. They will not likely win even one seat, but their rise in popularity will, like an increase in the Green Party’s success, be taken as a warning that the vox populi is indeed sending ‘them’ a serious warning. That warning is “Live up to the promises and commitments you made in 2006, or else!”
Whether your gripe has to do with income trusts, oil revenues, corporate welfare, gun control, race-based fisheries, judicial weakness, health care or favouritism to Quebec, only one of the above 5 choices is likely to see a noticeable improvement in the next few years. Harper faces an internal revolution in his party if he does not win a majority this time, and he won’t, and all the Liberals have to do is replace Dion with a more acceptable potential Prime Minister and they will win a subsequent election, hands down. History supports this prediction.

Fall Election?
Who is Abusing Whom?
Now we have our PM hinting at - threatening - preparing us for - a fall election. The excuse is given as “Because of the unco-operative opposition parties our minority government is dysfunctional therefore we will have an election, the CPC will win a majority, and we will once again become a functioning government”
The present government may be dysfunctional, but primarily because it has become a one man band – a Harper dictatorship without force and effect.
My opinion is, and I am not by any means alone in this, that Dion is weak, the Liberals are broke and a recession is building that will seriously increase the EI and welfare rolls in Ontario, Quebec and the Maritimes. If Obama wins in the States in November, it will be that much worse in Central Canada. Therefore, Harper will force the election now for no other reason than we may not get the majority we want ( read I want badly) but if the Liberals fire Dion (that is, he resigns) they may beat us next year. The sticking point in all of this is that Harper said, several months ago, words to the effect that, “The Americans have a financial problem building but we in Canada will not have a problem; or economy is strong”. If he waits too long his bragging will surely cost him dearly in the heartland of his support
Most importantly, the latest Polls show that a fall election will result in the same results as the last time or, for the Conservatives, slightly worse.
Harper’s response. ….Go to the polls now and pray like hell.
What has this got to do with Bill C 68 and the Morning Glory Rebellion?
There will never be a better opportunity to upset the Ottawa Apple Cart and show a united front that will cost many borderline Members of Parliament their jobs. We may even have the opportunity of having a pro-gun voice in Parliament. The cost will be only ten dollars a head when we gun-owners have already lost hundreds, if not thousands of dollars and stand to lose a lot more if a majority government is elected before we can get C 68 repealed.
And we gun-owners are not alone; there are lots of folks unhappy with the CPC.

AN ALTERNATIVE
Libertarian or Green
Recent events have encouraged me to make a slight change in the method of achieving the Morning Glory Rebellion.
Because the Libertarian Party has come to life and have 41 candidates listed for the forthcoming Federal Election, I encourage citizens to vote Libertarian in Ridings where there is a candidate. Of course I would have long since recommended that we use the Libertarian Party of Canada as a vehicle to voice our protest against Stephan Harper had they offered a Candidate in every Riding, but they didn’t.
The Libertarian Party of Canada can be located at http://www.libertarian.ca where
all your questions will be answered. They list a total of 41 Candidates Canada wide, which is only 13% coverage. You are urged to consider this alternative, especially if you cannot be persuaded to vote Green.
Voting either way will achieve our aim to give a long overdue kick in the behind to the politicians of the three major parties. You may even like what the Libertarians stand for.
I do.

Tides
The Tide is Turning
I get the very strong impression that the tide for we gun owners is turning. And two events were no doubt both necessary to create the right atmospheric conditions for that to occur.
The American Supreme Court Ruling that gun ownership is an inherent right, and
Dave “Boo Boo” Miller’s unbelievable decision to follow Paul Martin into political oblivion by proposing a gun crime corrective action that is a) impossible to enforce, b) will not effect the guilty culprits and c) will cause the gang crime problem to escalate. Presumably he, like Hitler, also has a solution for the problem that he alone created. Ad infinitum! Ad nauseum! Ad Mortium!
The sudden increase in pro-gun activity and sentiment in Ontario is a response to Miller’s plan (A) and is welcomed by we westerners who have been much less inclined to cower in our foxholes these last dozen years. Could it be that thousands of Ontarians now realize that the OFAH proposals are huff and puff and ever so politically correct.
But, lads and lassies, the tide does not flow in forever, so if we are to launch our attack, let us get our war canoe into the deepening water at the first possible moment and bring our enemies to close grips.

United Action
Willful Blindness is Suicide.
How many of the “X” million Canadian gun owners believe that the CPC, once (if) they achieve a majority at the polls will do one or more of the following?
A) Repeal C 68 in its entirety and re-negotiate, with the stakeholders (us) some form of gun (people) control.
B) Make a few minor changes to the present Firearms Act which will be “feel-good” measures and in no way hamper them, or future governments from confiscating some, or all firearms.
C) Make no changes, except to strengthen the control of the Nanny State over the serfs.
D) Whatever they do, they will hand over the mess for the renewed Liberals, who will win the subsequent election (as usual) and carry on where Paul Martin left off.
Now, before you put the question, review the following excerpt from an article by feature reporter Greg Thompson in the 1 July 2008 edition of the Kings County Record :
Para 6 (quote) “Public Safety Minister Stockwell Day says effective gun control requires high levels of compliance and these changes are designed to help that along” (unquote) [ The changes he refers to are the latest amnesty regulations].
Since the first amnesty regulations were invoked two years ago we have been proclaiming repeatedly that the amnesty changes were designed solely to increase the compliance percentage from the true 45% to something higher so that the UN Gin Grabbers could declare their plan to be an accomplished fact and therefore Canada is once again leading the civilized world into voluntary serfdom.
Anyone that believes, as does Doctor Mike Ackermann, our faithful representative on Stockwell Day’s so called Advisory Council, that we MUST vote Conservative at the next election as it is our only hope, are absolutely out to lunch. Perhaps Mike, being a Maritimer, suffers from that well-known Eastern “Party loyalty despite all contrary evidence” that has led them into many past election fiascos.
There are only two possible routes that we gun owners can follow. One is to listen to “No Logic Mike” and vote for the Harper/Day coalition (and then pray), or
Use our heads for a change, vote strategically so as to make our point by collective action, then use the next minority interregnum to talk some sense into the heads of all the Parliamentarians, and through them into the Ottawa bureaucracy.
A vote for the CPC will fullfill a death-wish for us, but eventually a gold mine for gun smugglers…..and they won’t be smuggling in duck guns and .22 target pistols.
We must first smarten up the Conservatives, THEN give them a majority.
