You are GONE.

If the burqa business was not enough to give the Liberals and National Democrats heart-burn, we now have the great passport controversy. This week in Canada a couple of Muslims, convicted of a plot to blow up a Canadian National train track, were told that their passport and citizenship have been revoked.
They will be sent back to their countries of origin when they have served jail time.
Seems simple?
Not so to the Liberals, NDP and the Green Party, who jointly decry the heavy handed tyranny of the government.
The problem with their "principled" position is that main-street Canada disagrees with them and, in an election year, that has proved fatal for their parties.
Mr. Mulcair has accused Prime-minister Harper of using the niqab and passport issues as "weapons of mass destruction". Very true, but the only people who have so far been blown up in the polls are the parties that have opposed these measures.
Too bad, but who said playing politics was a gentlemanly affair anyway?

Jubilate.
