On Thursday, I laid bare
my belief that the latest play to scrap the long gun registry was motivated by fundraising concerns more so than policy convictions. I
blegged for copies of the fundraising letters I could publish to confirm this.
While I cannot report any such letters, I can link to this
post at Bowie's Blog. It definitely ties into the theme that scrapping the registry is tied, at least in part, to fundraising concerns.
There is already a few protest sites underway - www.homelesscons.com, www.nobailouts.ca, www.cutthefat.ca, www.canadiangunnutz.com - over unhappiness with Harper's abandoning of conservative principles and, in this case, his sneekiness in presenting a weak anti-gun registry bill that in some ways some gun advocates think is worse.
