2011 voter turnout

OTTAWA — Despite the metamorphosis in Canada’s political scene and a slight bump up from the previous election, some 40% of eligible voters stayed away from the ballot box for this week’s landmark election.

Preliminary results put voter turnout at 61.4% nationally, Elections Canada said Tuesday.

Fire these gun registry turncoats

Back when the national gun registry was saved from demise, a turncoat's dozen of 14 MPs -- eight Liberals and six NDPers -- turned their back on their constituencies by flip-flopping on their original vote to see the registry scrapped.

We promised, back then, to remind you of who they are.

And today we're doing just that.

The turncoats in the Liberal camp, all who tossed principle into the dumpster over a self-serving fear of being kicked out of their precious seat in caucus, include Anthony Rota (Northern Ontario), Jean-Claude D'Amours (New Brunswick), Larry Bagnell (Yukon), Scott Andrews (Newfoundland), Scott Simms (Newfoundland), Todd Russell (Labrador), Wayne Easter (P.E.I.).

Keith Martin, a former Reform MP who already skewered grassroots conservatism by reincarnating to the Liberals, is wisely not seeking re-election on Vancouver Island.

Polls: A user’s guide

When it comes to Prime Minister, most Canadians would like to see Jack Layton get the post according to the latest Ipsos-Reid poll done for Global National.

Forty-five per of Canadians said they think Jack Layton would make the best prime minister. Forty-two per cent said Stephen Harper and 13 per cent choose Michael Ignatieff. (Click here for the full poll and methodology)

That doesn’t mean that Layton will become prime minister however. The final results will only be in on May 2, when Canadians officially cast their ballots.

Until then, the country will rely on polls to monitor the progress of the election. But what are polls and what should Canadians consider when using them?

Criminal element does not register their guns

To the Editor:

In response to Dave Coles’ letter regarding the much flawed gun registry, first let me say that I am unable to place a huge label behind my name such as the President of some Union to make my statement seem more important.

I am a confirmed archery addict, bowhunter, archery coach, and do not hunt animals with a firearm. Maybe those are my credentials. I have no problem with firearms, as well as firearm or hunter education and the registering of pistols and restricted weapons.

We have had registration of pistols for almost a century. We also have registered cars and motorbikes for years... the fees for that help pay for roads, safety initiatives and of course, claims.

What has gun registry paid back to us? - nothing.

OTTAWA — A group representing outdoor enthusiasts across the country is calling on the Liberals to release a report on the long-gun registry conducted while the party was in power, but a Liberal spokesman says it's out of their hands.

Canada's Outdoor Network, which says it represents more than 500,000 people, says Liberal leader Michael Ignatieff should come clean and release the results of a cross-country consultation conducted in 2004 by MP Albina Guarnieri, who was then associate minister of national defense.

"Mr. Ignatieff has made it part of his platform that he is against secrecy and withholding information from the public, and this was a taxpayer-paid study that was done by the Liberals," said Greg Illebrun, spokesman for the Outdoor Network. "If (Ignatieff is) serious about being open, then release the document so we all can see it."
