No kidding. But "zero tolerance" means the Conservatives will not tolerate anything that depicts minors having sex. That means banning Romeo and Juliet, Lolita, or a television show dealing with the issue of child pregnancies.
We made exceptions for these cases with the artistic merit clause. After the court case in BC, the law was strengthened by changing "artistic merit" to "public good". In other words, as a defence, the accused would have to show that he/she was serving the public good.
Do you see any problem with that? I don't.
The Conservative promise to ban everything involving sex among minors is crazy.

Denmark claims some of the islands, and has a far better claim of sovereignty than we do.
Secondly, our 'coast guard' guards the coast in name only.

Denmark? Well, dammit, we need to buy some nukes to protect ourselves from the evil Danes.

That spends money on a registration boondoggle. The gun registry does nothing to control guns.

This has nothing to do with firearms safety training. If you want to own a gun you have to get a Firearms Aquisition Certificate. To get that licence, you need to take a safety course. So why are the Conservatives promising to create a law that already exists.

So it's going to be a "Made in Canada policy" that sticks to our existing international commitments. In other words, exactly what we've been doing for decades. |
What was the last international commitment that Canada has upheld without the help of the Americans? We can't even deploy our peacekeepers without the Americans help, due to the antiquity of our Sea Kings. |
Can you say Kyoto?
Canada pays its UN dues without the help of Americans.
Canada provides financial assistance to dozens of international organisations, without the help of Americans.
Canada is routinely involved in peacekeeping missions without any help from the US. As for the last UN committment that involved Canada, but not the US, it is probably Rwanda.
In other words, Canada decides its own foreign policy. For the Conservatives to claim that they are the only party with a "Made in Canada" foreign policy is ridiculous.
