When a government department such as Elections Canada can attack the governing party with apparent immunity, as they are presently doing, and when the Attorney General's paid staff can dictate to their minister, Stockwell Day, how he shall enforce the Firearms Act, we might reasonably presume that our present PM is ineffective, weak, cowardly and afraid.
If that be the case it doesn't matter whether he heads a minority or a majority government, nor does it matter how illogical the Guns Laws are, our snivel servants wield too big a stick and we can not expect relief while Steven Harper is at the helm. If we are to regain control of our country Mrs Harper's little boy Stevie has to go.
Ah problem solving! How does one rid the country of a jam tart PM especially at a time when Her Majesty's Loyal Opposition (ha ha) is headed by a self proclaimed philosopher who's primary talents are proclaiming lofty and unworkable theories and mangling our dominant language, which 'appens to be Anglais. Monsiuer Dione is incapable of leading two chiens affame into a boucherie! The civil service in Ottawa would have him on toast for breakfast.
So, we must dump them both simultaneously. Prove their worthlesness at the polls by....wait for it! VOTING GREEN and forcing both the Liberals and the CPC to fire their incompetent CEOs for leading our company (read country) into chaos, anarchy and near bankrupcy.
Like so many things in life, our governance may have to get worse before it gets better. The longer we wait the worse it will get and the harder for us to get back on course. Our first (and maybe last) opportunity will occur sometime between tomorrow and October 2009. Can you imagine the Gov. Gen. tapping Lizzy May on the shoulder? Well then, if not her, then who?

STRANGELY QUIET
But perhaps the quiet that precedes a storm. Conflicting messages from the East (Mayor Miller vs. Minister Day) and not a peep from the PM. There is much media opinion about the "Green Parking Lot Party", referring of course to the increased number of votes that ended up in the Green Party box at the recent By Elections. Quite a few editorial comments from across the country confirmed our prediction of a year ago that discontented voters, for whatever reason, will park their vote with the Green Party.
The leaders of all four major political parties seem to be in a mad competition to see who can make the most stupid remark of the week, and it is a close battle indeed. So hang in there Rebels, Ottawa seems bent on self destructing. Compared to politicians south of the border we seem to have placed three cowards in the ring. Castration is obviously alive and well in Canuckistan. Leadership indeed!

Today's Opinion
Getting to the Root of Our Problem
When our highly trained police cannot instantly or will not correctly assess the risk posed by an assailant what hope have we? How do we avoid the wrath of ourselves and family by under assessing the risk, or later, the wrath of a vindictive judge post facto?
Our archaic self-defence laws must be revised to reflect reality. In short, if you are in my domicile illegally and with obvious criminal intent and you refuse to leave you may die, and quickly. In this case I must be the judge. This is a task I can better perform than any cop on the end of a 911 call.
And, there may be some obscure justification for not charging a policeman for even a blatantly excessive use of force, but I fail to see what it might be. The public and the police know when “Johnny Yellow Legs” has exceeded the use of necessary force and to pretend otherwise is much like running from a guard dog. All you do is entice it to do more damage.
These factors together are creating a police state in Canada.

To New Viewers Investigating the MGR
In order to understand the logic Behind the Morning Glory Revolution you might wish to start at our first message "A Pretty Flower..." which is in the 2007 archive on this Blogsite. The short essay, " Sink - or Swim" is an analogy that explains our position. Other messages that follow explain our reasoning for advocating our plea that all gun owners must park their vote with the Green Party at the next election.

Update
The Best Made Plans….
By the purest co-incidence, as soon as I committed myself to making frequent observations on the state of the Gun Control controversy, the Ottawa well went bone dry.
I have it from an impeccable source that our steely-eyed dictator has forbidden the uttering of the word “GUN” on “the hill”. If that be so, one is left to wonder why?
Today’s Throne Speech, or rather the opposition’s reaction to it, may make me a liar but I doubt that the government will fall. Now, if Stephen Harper was determined to abolish the long gun registry for starters it would obviously be the right time to introduce a Bill to that effect and dare Dion & Layton to jump into the ring, knowing full well that they would do no such thing.
The latest poll results, especially Nik Nanos’ indicate that Herr Harper desperately needs a big block of supporters to step forward otherwise he is going to end up, at best, with another minority government. If that happens he will no doubt get a “Dear John (Diefenbaker) letter” and go back to counting pennies.
But if he has been given a Mafia style warning to obey the UN and abolish ALL civilian ownership of small arms, we must see that he is fired as a warning to all the socialist/internationists in Ottawa. Couple this possibility of an authority (UN) higher than our Parliament issuing orders, with secondly the recently signed deal authorizing the U.S. to send troops across our border in case of “Civil Unrest” and finally, the discussions on forming the S.P.P. and you can get in line for your very own leg shackles.
Should we spell “Minutemen” the same way as the Yanks did in 1773?
I do not intend to end my days in slavery, sold out by a nation of cowards.
How about you?

CAUSE & EFFECT
It is familiar mix-up, that people confuse cause and effect and reverse the label to those two components in a discussion. For instance, it is common nowadays for some people to insist that gun possession causes crime, and therefore, by reverse logic, to reduce the number of guns is to reduce criminal activity.
This does not happen anywhere in the world where there are statistics because, whatever the reason that law-abiding people have for possessing firearms, their primary or secondary function is to prevent crime from occurring IN A MAN’S CASTLE.
Simply put, Crime causes Guns, not the reverse. Any increase in crime, especially crime near or in the home results in an increase of guns kept, or obtained.
The most likely reason that authorities choose to reverse the logic is that it is much easier and safer to hassle an honest man than it is to challenge the hardened criminal. Isn’t that the lesson we learned, but haven’t acknowledged at Mayerthorpe? Naturally such occurrences will make cops ‘gun shy’. There is far less risk in beating on Brian Ward’s door, or Bruce Montague’s door or any of the hundreds of doors of other law-abiding gun owners just because they have been declared criminals by 130 pages of crap written by Allan Rock and his herd of Justice Department lawyers.
As an old military man, and son of an old military man, I know that the majority of men would rather face off against the Lady’s Aid Society than get into a shoot out with one of Hitler’s Waffen SS Divisions, but that is simply not how wars are won. Ask our men in Afghanistan. You have to finally take on the hard cases.
The authorities who are responsible for the conduct and priorities of our many police forces, starting with the R.C.M.P. must issue firm orders for them to go after the hardened criminals and the criminal gangs FIRST. The punks will quickly disappear and then the cops can leave us to defend our homes. Just like it was BT (before Trudeau)
At the same time Parliament must quit mincing words and order the judiciary to award stiffer penalties for ALL crimes, not just gun crimes, because gun crimes are anyway a minority category. As a side issue, the presence of a firearm during a crime does not really make it a gun crime UNLESS THE GUN IS FIRED. And secondly, if a home owner fires a gun while protecting his family and home, it is not a crime anyway.
It will probably not be possible to increase the length and severity of prison sentences back to where they were when we had very little crime, unless we re-instate the death penalty. The simple reason is that without that time honoured maximum penalty at the top of the scale, all other punishments tend to slice down the scale to near nothing. That is why our prisons are full of people doing nothing while on holiday for a short time.
So, recognizing that cause and effect should never be inverted, get on with solving the problem.

Strategy - Tactics - Guesswork?
As of this morning, Friday the 8th of February, we start a daily analysis of “what’s going on with the macabre dance in Ottawa”. I liken the present push and shove contest to three (male?) dancers on a small table top. They are each shoving a tiny bit while desperately holding on to each other for fear of being ejected out onto the floor and out of the dance..
Or maybe it is more like a schoolyard squabble about “my Daddy is bigger than your daddy”. None of them wants a fight at this moment, and neither of them has a hope in hell of winning one outright, and after all it is the bewildered spectators (you and me) who will decide the outcome anyway (and pay for it).
And all three are trying to make our participation in the Afghan War the key issue when it clearly is not. In Afghanistan we are “in for a penny, in for a pound” whether we like it or not. Only if the Taliban physically eject us (as the Viet Cong ejected the Yanks) can we pack up and leave, albeit with our tails between our legs. That is exactly why the other whimpy NATO nations will not “get stuck in”. Getting in is as easy as walking through an open door, getting out is not quite as simple. Or maybe Jack Layton can advise us what to tell the little girls of Afghanistan as we cut and run, and send them back into the Middle Ages of ignorance, suppression, slavery and circumcision. There are about twenty million Afghanis. Half of them are women.
The Liberals volunteered us in the first place, and I have wondered if they did not do that deliberately, knowing they were probably going to lose the election to the Conservatives and thereby stick them with a messy political issue that has, at present, no solution.
So what does this all mean to the Morning Glory Rebellion? It means the same to us as to every other Canadian. The NDP will have no more influence on national or international affairs than they have ever had, which is nil. The conservatives and the liberals will go to the polls hissing and spitting like a couple of half grown kittens in a yard fight. The public will not know what to do because there is such a large clump of voters who don’t want to vote Liberal or Conservative for a variety of reasons, none of which has anything to do with the Taliban.
That is precisely why Harper and Dion are going to make Afghanistan the perfect non-issue. Neither wants to make a commitment to actually solve any of Canada’s real problems.
So, as of today, we should stay the course, but increase the political uncertainty by spreading the word farther and faster. It is before the election that we have the most influence, not afterwards.
Remember, IF there is a major irreversible change of attitude by Stephen Harper, we can switch to his support in a blink of an eye. So far there has been no movement by “he who would be our Diktator” to justify our support.
This country can not be democratically governed by a central government. It is too big, too diverse and the “French Problem is a man-made cancer in our guts which cannot be eradicated. That is why the House of Lords structured the BNA Act the way they did. They knew we had to develop as a true confederation of Provinces. That is exactly why they made the Provinces solely responsible for, amongst other things, property rights. They did all of this because they had been forced to give these rights to a conquered people (the Quebecois) for fear of a subsequent rebellion, which they did not have the will nor the military and naval forces to suppress. At that time the British were very much entangled in a myriad of colonial wars in India, the East Indies and Africa. And at that time the Americans were making very loud noises about removing Great Britain totally from North America.
Once the BNA Act came into effect in 1867 there was no turning back. Just because all of our governments since then have tried to centralize control does not make it possible. But many tricks were tried. Who do you think was behind the FLQ Crisis? The “Big Daddy Trick” of creating a national emergency, then invoking emergency measures to suppress it is as old as the first dictator in history. Does it not occur that C 68 was a similar ploy? Just because it didn’t work does not mean that Chretien and Rock did not think that they could succeed. And, from their point a view, it was worth a try because to lose was merely to waste billions of dollars, none of which was theirs!
I am sure that both those gents are drawing every penny of their substantial pensions despite their major blunders. And all the bureaucrats and lawyers who put C 68 together will do the same. We can influence only those who continue to support C 68 and who seek election.
That is all we can do, so let’s do it!
