By willingly giving up that right, we have given up the right to disagree and stand by our convictions. Gun control will kill our party, nation and possibly our very lives.

Of course, nobody's asking you to give up that "right". But in so far as you presumably think that we Canadians have, and since we obviously do have "gun control", how *do* you explain, oh, this:

Alex McDonough, an MP from Halifax, was furious Monday with what she saw as government efforts to stifle dissent. “I am aghast that the Parliamentary Secretary for Canada-U.S. relations would urge Atlantic Canadians to 'take a pause from expressing our view' during Mr. Bush's visit,” she said.


Up to 15,000 demonstrators took to the streets of Ottowa on Nov. 30 to protest the first official visit to Canada by US President George W. Bush.
