Little birdies tell me that the Conservative party will be taking a pass on sensationalizing the Mayerthorpe Mountie Massacre issue "out of respect for the officers". Makes sense, since Fiberals Dan McTeague and Paul Szabo are making fools of themselves enough as it is with their scare tactics from their US drug czar contacts.

What is interesting, however, is that they are getting Brian Mulroney's Quebecor/Sun Chain to do the "dirty work" and whip up the call for a scapped gun registry (smart idea) and a US-style War on (Some) Drugs (really stupid idea).

Not only is the pot issue being pumped (expect some ridiculous "60,000% THC" spin stories in the next week) for but the gun registry. We've seen it already, as the Sun papers have been running torqued and sensationalized grow show stories that would make J. Johah Jamieson blush.

Of course, not all is sad news: these same papers are going to start a concerted campaign to get that incompetent hag Anne McLellan removed from office, who tends to spend more time at the SAQ than behind her desk.
