Guns, guns, guns
Consider the following quotes:
“The Americans ask us to do things in terms of the border; I think there’s an obligation on their side to work with us to prevent gun-smuggling into Canada.” — Paul Martin, October 25th, 2005.
“First of all, we have no evidence there are more guns being smuggled into the country now than ever before,” Ms. McLellan said. “Sometimes people easily blame the United States for a smuggling of guns. That too is a simplistic response.” — Deputy PM Anne McLellan, Edmonton Journal, August 25th, 2005
