From this point I will probably be branded as a "radical'. So be it. I am educated in Engineering and Philosophy, the former teaches system and

Let me begin by commenting I know this is not a 'chat' digest, but the question was raised here about Quebec/Maritime involvement if fighting C68 [the new firearms registration bill]. To be fair, there is quite a bit of work being done by individuals, but government is mute down there, and for ecomonic reasons, must be. The reluctance or simply because the populance had no personal arms of men and women to fight back when their wives, children, possessions etc. were being taken away is however, as in Nazi Germany and Kosovo today, is, I suggest, a major plank in Social Engineering of a Society. the latter teaches thinking on, I would argue, another scale. The new so called 'Global' economy will, and already has, caused major social upheaval. People who were middle class a few short years ago are now on the streets or almost there due to the relocaction of work to countries with a lower wage scale. Mexico, India, two of which I have first hand knowledge, the wages are less than %10 of North American rates. Workers and management both were'are being 'let go', out of a source of income. The stock market was inundated with large sums of cash, the source was the money paid to let go people, their severance package. Hence, the inflated price of shares, which the market is just now correcting, to the detriment of retirement payouts from Mutual Fund to these laid off workers. Their future is bleak, to put it mildly. Farmers must be, by international trade laws, cut off from government support and assistannce, to give an example, hog and milk subsidies. So they face a bleak future in Canada. Quebec fought hard for Free Trade, until the dairy and hog farmers read the fine print. Now we had a milk strike, annd as I write, the hog farmers in Quebec are raising Hale. Jean Francois Avon wrote in response to my earlier diatribe on Jews/Kosovians(I hope he copied this Digest) that Quebec Separatists would be afraid of an armed populace. I suggest he is correct. So too are the federal and eastern Canadian provincial governments afraid of guns in the hands of civilians. They see them as weapons which could be used against them and the establishment as the economy changes and more and more middle class people, farmers, fishermen and former managers reach the lower ranks of income and living conditions. In Canada, we rank social standing by job/income/education to do a job. We rated fur trappers at the bottom, because it payed poorly and required little formal education to perform. Tie in to Bill C68? Well, Allan Rock let the cat out of the bag. When he was briefed after becoming Minister of Justice, it was explained to him that the program to disarm civilians began when Free Trade/Global Economy talks were in their early stages, was running behind shedule. In his jubulance, determined to 'get the job done', where Mulroney had slowed down after an aggressive start, he blurted out the program on live TV. 'Only police and the military should have guns'. In the opinion of the various goverments, including Quebec, Ottawa and some provinces, the program must be complete, and must be completed soon. Farmers, as they lose their farms to financial institutions, fishermen, as they lose thier boats, certain interests in Quebec as they lose everything due to separation, may fight back. It is therefore critical that they do not have access to arms, as a means of defence or aggression. The War Measures act is gone, replaced. A legal means had to be manufactured to remove guns from the people. Hence, C68 is a good beginning. It allows confiscation of any firearms so deemed by the incumbent government later on. No, my friends, Ottawa is not stupid, this is a well thought out plan, and appears to be working, as they use mass media on the population, to change public opinion to their side, i.e., guns are dangerous especially to women and children. In fact, firearms in the hands of civilians are dangerous, but to repressive governments from a displaced populace. As more and more Canadians find everything they worked for threatened, some MIGHT fight back, and shoot the Bailiff's from the Banks and the police sent to protect them when they re-possess their property and throw them, literally, on the streets, on into their relatives homes. Registration? Use of the harsh Criminal Code, jail, for non-compliance?? Necessary, in Ottawa's view. Get the job begun earlier finished, then they can go on the the greater plan, more relaxed when people have no means of defence or rebellion. When you live on the streets, there is no place to hide a gun. Not to sound trite, but this will test 'unsafe storage' laws to the limit. If the Supreme Court judges have been properly briefed on the Social Engineering aspects of C68, we do not have a chance in Hell in the courts. Then, we will have a search and seizure, after 2003, to actively find and confiscate unregistered and illegal (by now) guns on farms, in houses, examples made in the Press of a few, and the game is over. Is this gloom and doom from me, or a realistic analysis of the situation? You decide, but at least think about it from a broader angle than simply telling Ottawa how many, the serial number and storage place of your firearms today. We need only to look at the history of Scotland to see Quebec today and the ROC tomorrow. And C68 plays a huge role in this. ===================END FORWARDED MESSAGE=================== Jean-Francois Avon, B.Sc.
