How long before your leader caves in on this issue as well.
He has the back bone of a wet tissue in my opinion.

I don't often agree with Jay Hill's retoric but, he is right on a couple of points.
It really IS about penalties and jail time etc.
The ONLY solution is laws with teeth in them that really hurt these gang losers!
So Jay,where are these laws?
Why is it taking so long for this to happen,as we were told it would before election?
I don't buy putting all the blame on the opposition for the delays in changing the legislation.
Any politician who opposes these tough changes should NOT be re-elected!
Also jacking up the courts and judges to use what is already in place to the maximum,is also long over due.
There are far too many deals being cut with criminals simply to get an easy conviction.
It's about priorities and what is morally right.
Get the issues on the table and keep them there.Get off your over paid asses and get it done!
There is far too much hot air and blah,blah,blah, from our so called "elected representatives" with far too few actual results!

Legalize marijuana (taking the profit out of gangs), and make gun crimes a mandatory sentence and crime would evaporate IMO.

The gangs can't operate selling only hard drugs, hookers, and property crimes. They would be seen as the real losers that they are and there would be no incentive for young impressionable minds to join their percieved righteous cause against the man with no profits and no moral cover because 'everyone smokes weed'.

Rumor has it that Harper is going to let the American military police the North American Union conference in Quebec this August?

IMO it would be treason if true. Makes one wonder about the Olympics as well...

Military To Crackdown On North American Union Protesters

Secretive SPP confab to be protected by 25km military cordon, forums blocked

The US army is to enforce a huge security perimeter around the upcoming North American Union meeting in Canada this August as well as cracking down on expected protests, having already shut down a public forum due to take place close to the event.

The Security and Prosperity Partnership meeting in Montebello, Quebec on August 20 and 21 is to be policed by American forces, who along with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) and the Sûreté du Québec (SQ) have already refused to allow the Municipality of Papineauville, which is about six kilometres from Montebello, to rent a community centre
to the Council of Canadians action group who were planning to hold a public forum the night before the confab to express their concerns about the meeting and the issues being discussed.

“It is deplorable that we are being prevented from bringing together a panel of writers, academics and parliamentarians to share their concerns about the Security and Prosperity Partnership with Canadians,” said Brent Patterson, director of organizing with the Council of Canadians. “Meanwhile, six kilometres away, corporate leaders from the United States, Mexico and Canada will have unimpeded access to our political leaders.”
The Council of Canadians has also been told that in addition to the 25km perimeter in Montebello, there will be checkpoints in nearby areas, and vehicles carrying more than five people will be turned back.


A whole host of other Canadian activist groups are scheduling protests despite the military cordon. According to journalist and NAU researcher Jerome R. Corsi, the protesters believe that as many as 10,000 people could assemble in Quebec to demonstrate.

One particular activist group, Canadian Action Party , has taken issue with US troops coordinating operations for the confab on Canadian soil while denying access to Canadian citizens.

CAP's leader said,”Bad enough that our RCMP and the Quebec provincial police force would apply offensive Canadian law to prevent a legitimate meeting of dissenting citizens. Totally untenable that a foreign army assumes jurisdiction on our land. But this we knew from the Binational Planning Agreement begun in 2002 that saw Canada crawl on its belly and permit the USA military to enter our land whenever it deems necessary. “

“Does anyone still believe that our federal leaders have not thrown away our sovereignty ? That from Chretien (Liberal) to Martin (Liberal) to Harper (Conservative), the Prime Ministers of our land have not been committing treason behind closed doors? How otherwise would it be possible that a proud, sovereign, and free nation would see a foreign army on its soil interfering with the right of Canadians to assemble and to speak?”

Elite lobbying group the Council on Foreign Relations seeded the plan for a "North American Advisory Council" which eventually became the SPP.

It comes as no surprise to NAU researchers that the latest SPP meeting will be a highly secretive and guarded affair given that CFR documents have revealed that the group wants to "establish private bodies that would meet regularly or annually to buttress North American relationships, along the lines of the Bilderberg conferences."

Internal SPP documents released under the FOIA have also shown that a wide range of US administrative law is being re-written in stealth under this program to "integrate" and "harmonize" with administrative law in Mexico and Canada, in a similar fashion to moves that have become commonplace within the EU.

The documents contain references to upwards of 13 working groups within an entire organized infrastructure that has drawn from officials within most areas of administrative government including U.S. departments of State, Homeland Security, Commerce, Treasury, Agriculture, Transportation, Energy, Health and Human Services, and the office of the US Trade Representative.

During the upcoming SPP meeting an advisory Council created last year known as the North American Competitiveness Council will meet on issues including border regulation and competitiveness in the automotive, transportation, manufacturing and services sectors. The council is expected to meet annually with security and prosperity ministers and will engage with senior government officials on an ongoing basis.

Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper is scheduled to host the Quebec summit which Mexican President Felipe Calderon and US President George W. Bush also planning to attend.

The highest elected officials within the US, Canadian and Mexican governments are meeting together with advisory bodies staffed by senior private sector representatives yet the public are being forcibly denied any access to the event in addition to a pathetic blackout on behalf of the corporate media which still ridicules anyone who suggests the North American Union plan even exists.

Right on, Chad. Harper will do whatever he is being told to do by the *higher power.*

The NAU is coming and we will have zero say in it, just like the Mexicans. We will be gobbled up and incorporated into the master plan lock, stock and barrel.
