Re your earlier question on gun reform here, craig. "Reform" because citizens make choices on how they want to live, and gun law is federal responsibility, currently being debated nationally, consequence of federal election a few months away and a spate of gang shootings in Toronto, whose mayor is proposing handgun ban, if only for his city.

Reform is a good word for it because Canadians generally realize banning handguns is not a solution. It could be part of a solution, cutting violence through better background checks, refusing ownership to felons, stricter regulations, already among strictest in the world. Ottawa mused handgun ban, did cross-country face=to-face survey, and changed its tune.

I haven't changed my mind about Canada's striving for moderation and accommodation and responsible government---the first in North America right here in Nova Scotia--- representing the values on which the country was founded. We're different from Americans, don't feel need to carry for personal and public safety. I don't feel a better person than Fox or Stan for it.
