Mike and others make the point perfectly why partisan politics should not be in this forum. Citizens rarely are one-issue voters. The GOP primaries seem otherwise with voters preferring making a point to electability---for now.
I've been eligible to vote for 60 years. Our majority Conservative Party will get rid of the long-gun registry next month. I won't support the party for other reasons. I never voted Liberal. I'm anti the antis at the grassroots level.
The former leader of the Conservative Party of Canada, knowing how I feel about some of his party's policies, asked me to be his eyes and ears in our region. I do that because governments that don't know govern ineffectively.
The politician and I share a mutual respect. I also respect Canada's institutions. I don't think Americans are all that much different generally, in their hearts, in what they want for their country. Cheap shots on this board shouldn't be part of it.
