List of MPs who voted to maintain the liberal-left’s stupid gun registry division

Written by Joel Johannesen on Thursday November 05 2009 at 08:31 AM

(4:05 PM PST) - UPDATED BELOW

DON’T VOTE FOR THESE PEOPLE

As promised yesterday, here is the list of MPs who voted against the bill to eliminate the long-gun registry, yesterday, and to instead maintain the government list of innocent citizens who own rifles and shotguns for sport or pleasure or protection or whatever other legitimate purpose they choose as free people living in a free country.

Who are these people?  They’re all the usual suspects:  socialists, and those who thrive on mindless, leftist, feel-good, sound-good ideology, those who promote the growth of the nanny-state, and far-left statists who seek to control every aspect of you and your lives because they are either power-hungry or they actually think they know best how to control you and your life (and actually believe they have a right to), and those who seek to grow government in every direction and impose even more intrusion into every aspect of your life.  They voted to keep the gun registry.

And here’s a learning moment:  Liberal Scott (“Fancy pants from Kings-Hants”) Brison, who voted with those I just described, ran to be the leader of the Conservative Party, before cowering over to the Liberal Party.

Subject: Too Many MPs

Joel,

I was reading through your list of fascist MPs who want to keep law abiding Canadian citizens on a police list, and it occurred to me that there are just too many MPs.  The list was too long to hold my attention.  The USA has 340,000,000 people and only 440 congressmen and 100 Senators.  In Canada we have 308 MPs and 105 Senators, with a population 1/10 that of the USA.  Dontcha think we ought to carve that back to 40 MPs and say 20 Senators?  That would save a ton of money.

Hey Paul,

Believe me, I had the same feeling as I was formatting the list, which took way too long. 

Not just would we save all the money those MPs are paid in salary and their huge Cadillac benefit and pension plans; but imagine the savings from not having to pay for all their bureaucratic staff and their benefits and pensions and all those offices and all that equipment and supplies.  All those redundant people would be forced to find some sort of actually productive work (if they didn’t simply get absorbed by some other government secretariat, which would be their first choice, no doubt).  This could possibly lead to increased productivity generally —at least in the government-funded “arts” or academic/teaching sectors, in which many of them would end up.

The size of government would be vastly reduced.  Taxes could be reduced. 

...So of course they’d be against all that. 

Oh well!
Joel
