- It could have been prevented
- Friday
March 4, 2005
by : Edwin Wallace
Success :With
such a tragic loss of life this is really not the time for the Deputy Prime Minister
to set about making political hay. The emotional and political context of this incident
cloud over the simple inherent danger in a society like that in Alberta which worships
deadly weapons.

is, is this good for Canada?
