I've pretty much had it with this Liberal government and this is just the icing on the cake for me...:mad:
Do they really think we're complete idiots to try and pull this fast one??

(November 21, 2005) The National Citizens Coalition today denounced the Liberal government’s plans to rush a new gag law through the House of Commons on the eve of an expected federal election.
“The same government which enacted a gag law making it a crime for non-partisan groups to express political opinions during federal elections now wants to take away our right to raise funds during an election,” says NCC vice president Gerry Nicholls. “Not content with just shutting us up and they now want to shut us down.”
The Liberal government is pushing new rules that would place a limit on how much individuals can contribute to non-partisan organizations like the NCC.
“While fighting the original gag law we predicted this would happen,” says Nicholls. “First they limit how much you can speak; now they want to dictate how much money Canadians can contribute to private organizations. What’s next?”
Nicholls says this move reveals how desperate the scandal-ridden Liberal Party has become.
“Prime Minister Paul Martin knows the NCC is an effective voice in exposing the sordid record of his party,” says Nicholls. “So he is using the power of the state to strike back. It’s sad and it’s scary.”
The NCC fought a constitutional campaign against election gag laws for more than 20 years.

The Liberals do not believe in democracy and they have proven this time and time again. This type of thing does not surprise me coming from them. They will try to get and keep power at all costs.
It's time to kick them out.
I don't know how anybody could ever justify voting for them |

| As I've said before, the New Left would always rather try to silence its opponents than engage in open debate. I doubt that most Canadians would be surprised at this news - the problem is that most Canadians won't even read it or care. |

...I guess you could say then, that Canadians deserve whatever they get then. |

It's unfortunate that 4 out of 5 voting Canadians don't actually understand anything about who they are or aren't voting for. Canadians in general do deserve whatever they get, but that doesn't mean that I or anyone else should accept it complacently and not attempt to educate others or get them to care. |
