What caught my interest March 8, 2012.

A lot less about Robo-calls, but let's start off with the latest about Elections Canada.

Elections Canada has a fair amount to answer to, especially after reading the ATIP that was presented to start the Robo-smear. The latest buzz is how non registered voters were allowed to vote without giving an address. With the amount of Elections Canada mistakes coming to light it begs two questions; 1. If they can't manage the Electoral powers they have now, why would they even want more? 2. Why isn't there an investigation into Elections Canada in regards to all the screw ups?

Next we head to Quebec, where University students took to the streets to protest an increase in their tuition (which currently stands alone as the lowest in Canada.)  However the demonstration turned towards violence when police were targeted with snowballs, and respond with force to break up the crowd. I feel that once any object is thrown at law enforcement, they must take every step possible to disperse the crowd prior to further escalation.

On to the separatist that will live off Canada for the rest of his life, National "Teddy" winner Gilles Duceppe! I can't even comment much here, because instead of being charged with his treason, he gets a fat Canada pension.

Finally I move to something that bothers me more deeply than anything else. In BC a member of our armed forces was attacked, his neck was slashed, waiting for a bus.  This bothers me for a couple of reasons; 1. Our armed forces are generally peacekeepers, and the ideological mentality that would make someone perpetrate violence against any of our defenders of freedom show a sickness of the  anti military viewpoint. 2. That this offender will be afforded the freedoms the victim has chosen to defend.
