Who has read the story in the Star re the pork BBQ last spring. They are trying to sell the line that this pic of ignegative was left off the agriculture web site on purpose. If I recall, when that event was held, ignegative was not even going to eat, but was encouraged to attend by his handlers. Perhaps someone will find the stories written and the photo of Ignegative not going on his own accord.
How desperate, bringing back something that happened last May, to try to make points.
Ignegative eating a pork sandwich (without fork and knife) will not get him votes in the farming community.
One has to assume criminal elements will get their hands on the gun registry list. The RCMP is a dysfunctional organization, why we would trust them with the information is beyond belief.
Another law suit from the Al-Qaeda suspect I guess.
