I wish Alan Rock would show up so hunters could boo the grap out of him. Especially since he plans to run for leader of the liberals.

What a moron!

Love to give him a boot in the butt on his way out.

340,

I seriously doubt that Rock has the ba... ah, intestinal fortitude to show his face at a hunting show, especially in Ontario. Reality isn't his thing. This country will be headed down a sad path indeed if he heads the liberals. Otis is right on the mark with the parliamentary reform comment.

Don't blame the liberals. They just happen to know when to call, what to say, and how to win elections. There were more conservative votes cast last election than liberal votes. If the PC and Alliance can't get together they'll never have the power to reform the government. So watch when Cretien decides to run again in 2 years (surprize).

Dan O.

Otis -I realize that there are many hunters and shooters in ontario and yes they do deserve a show.I just find it ironic that the big gun shows are always in the large eastern cities where there are so many people who believe private citizens should not be allowed to own firearms.

Tuffcity,

Alan like most politicians will make every effort to avoid confrontation that will make them look bad.

But I have to agree with Dan O., its not that the Liberals are better than the Alliance or Conservatives; they're all money hungry thieves who care about themselves more than the country they represent, Mulroney was a perfect example of that and Cretien is no better. But unless those two parties can come together there is no way they can beat the Liberals. The Alliance can't even keep the same leader for more than 3 years at a time. Hate to say it but unless something weird happens in the next 2 years, Paul Martin and the Liberals will run this country again.

As for Hunting/Gun shows being in Eastern Cities, its all about money. Its costs promoters and manufacturers a fortune to put on these shows, they target the higher population markets to reach the most people at any one time possible. Sad to say but its all about Marketing.

Anyway hope to see some of you guys at the show.

Back to the topic....

My current plans are to stop in at the show for a couple of hours friday afternoon. Does anyone else plan to be there at that time?

Hey Rick,

I should be there around 6pm, depending on traffic. Will you still be around then?

340:

Probably not, but in case I am, I'll try to be near the Quakerboy booth at that time. It would be nice to put a face to some of the names.

Rick

I'm going Saturday morning, I figure I'll head over to the Quakerboy booth around noon to meet Bosstom and try to weasle a free calling lesson out of him <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle> If anyone else is there saturday around noon follow the calling to us at Quakerboy.
(Hope you don't mind being a landmark Bosstom).
See you there.
