All that is required to tip the balance of power is 10 percent. We have that.

I remember a time when you could stand on the steps of any small town Alberta high school and look into the parking lot and see 5 or 6 shot guns proudly displayed on gun racks in the back of most pick ups.

It was a more prosperous and friendly world.

The police told us to take our shot guns down and if we ever had a problem that we just phone them and they would deal with it. They can't even remember that promise, but I do.

So since they can't keep their bargain as most times in "Canadian" history I wonder what is an appropriate response?
