The Harper government's new omnibus bill exempts the long gun registry from the Access to Information law.
This has the Media Party fuming.
I doesn't like this change in the law, either, but for different reasons.
The Canadian media only cares about privacy issues when their "side" is under attack.
I give some examples, but you can probably think of many more.

READ Brian Lilley's book CBC Exposed -- It's been called "the political book of the year."
As such, the information in the LGR, if any copies exist, is about as valuable and as accurate as a spent fireworks tube.
The reason for this is that the gun registry was a virtual shopping list for criminals, terrorists and vandals. There IS NO more sensitive and confidential list in Canada than that of where all its privately owned firearms are stored. It was a sacred trust betrayed by government and media sending even redacted copies out on FOI.
Retroactively banning FOI access to this data is a stupid move which hamstrings any complainants in the High River RCMP break-ins getting the evidence needed to run a formal inquiry as t whether illegal GR data was used to target homes in that city. So Harper once again goes half way to a solution and bungles things worse by not doing the full monte. The man is inherently timid to do the right thing by gun owners.
If there is any law that SHOULD have followed the cancelling and erasing of gun registry data it is that possession of illegal copies of the data should bear criminal penalties. After it’s ordered destruction, no one should require copies or FOIs of the data unless they have criminal or malicious intentions against the owners on that list.
If this flap over access to expunged potentially dangerous firearms data teaches us anything, it’s that we should never trust the motives of the media (Consummate whores who will sell our security out in a heartbeat), and those of government and police as well are suspect.
I fail to see why ANYBODY would NEED TO KNOW…a list of all the rifles and shot guns in Canada and their serial numbers…unless their agenda was a mass confiscation of guns….the voters have already made it clear….THAT AIN’T GOING TO HAPPEN….so build a bridge and get over it.
In the news today peace talks in the middle east broke down when Israeli negotiators refused to accept the compromise proposal that only half the Jews must die (summed up CBC International in a précis)
In the news today men make more money than women and that’s just not fair……etc ect etc….ad nauseum.
And the gun registry IS indeed a feminist issue…and that is the only reason why we keep hearing about it…..Marc Lepine ain’t news…..if a feminist hot head had of killed a dozen young men while shouting “Je haie le Patriarchie” they would have named the school after her.
The two groups most opposed to civilian gun ownership are feminists and divorce lawyers….it ain’t news.
So Terry…if you are tired of reprise after reprise of the Song That Never Ends…..get the MSM to stop calling for an encore.
Lilley: we get it. Any media reportage hostile to the Conservatives is part of a grand conspiracy by “The Media Party”. Now, do you think you could actually move on to something resembling actual news coverage?
Canadians know this and expect this. These MSM turds were the gateway to polticians of past – but not anymore.
Conservatives go direct to the voters and ignore these socialist/marxist/liberal/communist back media slop houses.
