Liberal Justice Minister Cotler spins some more fantasy (en francais)

As with other issues such as EI and the Canadian Wheat Board, the coming week should bring a flood of spin, misrepresentation and outright lies.

There's nothing more dangerous than a Liberal about to lose their Government Expense acccount.

Beware!

Ontario is the only province that has endorsed a Liberal proposal to ban handguns, an adviser to federal Justice Minister Irwin Cotler said Friday.

Cotler said last weekend in Saskatoon that support for the Liberal proposal is "not just in Ontario." He mentioned Manitoba, British Columbia, Nova Scotia and Quebec, saying some provinces would buy in and others would not.

But Cotler did not intend to give the impression other provinces support the plan, said Leigh Lampert.

Lampert said Cotler was talking about a bill to amend the Criminal Code that was tabled before the government fell in November.
