Was on AM640 Talk Radio this morning with John Oakley. We had a great discussion about what transpired over the weekend. We discussed why handgun bans don't work, the horrible problem of identity politics and political correctness in our system, and Human Rights Commissions and Hate Speech Laws about how they suppress freedom of expression, and free speech. I'm just waiting for my call to be hauled before these Kangaroo Courts after my postings.
I see Andrew Coyne was right on the money in his analysis of the election campaign with regard to the Mainstream Media. Let's see, so far the most substantive issues in this campaign have been a puffin, reporters wanting to know what kind of vegetable the Prime Minister could be, and SHOCK that candidates had opinions and a life previous to becoming a candidate. I dunno, I thought maybe elections might actually talk about foreign policy? High Gas Prices? Third world living conditions of natives due to big government control? Maybe the suppression of free speech at the hands of Human Rights Commissions? Oh right, I forgot we are supposed to walk on egg shells and avoid real discussion.
John Oakley open up the lines to have callers onto the show. It was fantastic to hear the people voicing their support. Thanks guys! Stand tall conservatives we are on the right side of the issues! I've been invited back for Thursday, and possibly on election night to discuss the election results as part of a panel.
Tomorrow I will be on the Michael Coren show as part of panel discussing this past week of news stories. Check it out!

THE GAY CONSERVATIVE IS BACK!
Ah yes, what an incredible few days it has been. The saying is true, 24 hours is a lifetime in politics. One second you're shaking hands with the Prime Minister and on the blackberries of the campaign staff, the next day you can't get called back. Why? For articulating conservative principles. Which I will continue to promote.
This is where political correctness has gotten in this country - a Conservative Party that is affraid to proudly be conservative, and a media that can't be bothered to analyze anything. The media is simply focused on the "gaffe" this caused the campaign, with no analysis of what I actually said. So don't worry liberals, there is no hidden agenda to the Conservative Party, because it has sold it's soul to the MSM, you can freely vote Conservative and still have your ever expanding nanny state!
So thank you to the Liberal bloggers for liberating me to be able to express my political thoughts. I could never have gotten this attention without you. And thank you to the outpouring of online support from people I have never even met, from the Western Standard, to conservative bloggers. Plus not to mention a great 580CFRA poll, I wager 64.9% would have also been the percentage of votes I would have gotten in Toronto Centre if I was still the candidate!
So now time for a rebuttal to Mr. BigCityLib:
Gun control: It doesn't work. There is no research that proves it does. The facts are clear, it increases crime. Simon Fraser University professor Gary Mauser finds that a year after the British obediently surrendered 160,000 legal handguns, London muggings were up 53 percent, gun murders up 90 percent and robbery up more than 100 percent. By the year following, annual gun crimes overall had risen 39 percent.
This pattern has continued. The rate of violent crime in England and Wales is more than double the United States. It is now more dangerous to walk the streets of London than New York.
On top of that, British Olympic shooting teams are now forced to practice their sport in another country! This is doubly absurd, for it discourages establishing positive role models for how firearms should be used.
In contrast, during the last decade, violent crime has dropped 40 percent in the United States as the number of firearms and states with concealed carry permits have increased.
Do a bit of research, you'd also notice peace loving Switzerland, neutral country, even has COMPULSORY gun ownership for males. I dunno, haven't really heard of Switzerland having the reputation as being a lawless "every man for themselves" society.
In getting rid of the handgun ban in Washington, DC (a ban which did nothing to lower their crime rate), it was women's groups and gays that led the charge to overturn the ban.
Look at the arguments of taxpayer funded, left-wing women's groups and GBLT organizations such as EGALE. They are anti-freedom and constantly argue for government handouts, which increases their dependent on the state. That is not empowering to women or sexual minorities. I'm not sure where the logic is in how that is progress for women. So I've gained sexual freedoms as a gay man, now according to liberals I owe them so much that they are allowed to forever dip into my wallet and tax an ever increasing amount of my money? Gee thanks.
So no, I'm not sexist. I would really love to hear a rationale for how I could possibly be homophobic, meanwhile being a gay man. By the way, I love some of your poster's comments, like the ones that say because I'm gay and conservative I must be confused. Now there is an insulting comment, saying that my sexuality must define my politics instead of my brain. Ad hominem attacks such as you and your posters write, highlight how juvenile liberals have become. These guys can't muster up any intellect to discuss an issue. It requires far less brainpower to yell "hatemonger!" or "nutter!"
We do have a serious issue in this country of people who decide to depend too much on collectivist identities for their own identity. If there isn't a specific person to blame, it's "the system". The "system" is either "racist", "homophobic", or "sexist" - ie, the white, straight alpha male. Well here, I will claim my victim status, I'm the victim of political correctness gone wild! Do I get my government handout now? Maybe a taxpayer funded Human Rights Commission Complaint for political persecution?
As for natives, it's government that created the misery that natives are in, they live under complete socialism on reserves. There is the real life example of left-wing, anti-freedom liberalism/socialism at work- government dependence and 3rd world living conditions. Luckily some native leaders are getting out of the game and embracing capitalism and it's having an amazing result. I know it's hard to comprehend for BigCityLib and other liberals, talking about freedom, capitalism, personal responsibility as being good things does sound "bizarre". Wanting people to be independent of the state would seem "nuts". While I will make it very simple for you BigCityLib: If solving societal problems was as simple as writing government cheques or passing another regulation, problems would have been solved by now in the thousands of years of history we have of government existence in the world. But liberals are still waiting for the Messiah, like an Obama or Trudeau, to lead them to the socialist promised land, of money without any personal responsibility. You'll have better odds playing the lottery.
