Now Public Readers and the Canadian Public should know this deal like many others the Federal Conservatives are trying to get passed for years in the majority Liberal Government Senate will go nowhere. The public should know Harpers crime bills for stricter penalties and lengthy prison sentences for all crimes have been repeatedly stonewalled by the Liberal Dominated Senate.

In Ending
The Public's call for an Elected Senate are being tossed by the wayside by the Liberals, much to Stephen Harper and his Conservative Government's frustration. The Person who shot the 11 year old child in Toronto had an extensive rap sheet for criminal activities and never spent a day in Prison. Why? Well look no further than our courts and federal laws. If the Conservatives had their way, this child would have been alive today, as his murderer would have been in prison.

My Final Thought

Now Public Readers may say "Barry you are biased against the Liberals" I say to Now Public Readers, I am Biased against any Political party that allows Repeat Sex Offenders, Drug Dealers and Gun Nuts released into my Neighbourhood. Conservatives want the "Time to fit the Crime" period, and if you want to safeguard your family you should want that too.

GUELPH -- Premier Dalton McGuinty says he's open to talks with the governors of bordering U.S. states towards halting the flow of illegal guns into Ontario.

In the wake of the shooting death of 11-year-old Ephraim Brown in Toronto this past weekend, McGuinty reiterated his call for Prime Minister Stephen Harper to bring in a national handgun ban.

McGuinty said any cross-border agreement on the flow of guns would also have to address the problem of illegal Ontario-grown marijuana crossing the border, this is a big concern for U.S. officials.

'FIND A WAY'

"You know what? I think they've got a point," he said. "We need to find a way, province and states, to come to terms with this."

McGuinty, however, accused the federal government of "coming up short" in this effort.
