|Re: Tomcat Internal Buffering with Jython
|Sun, 15 Feb 2009 17:07:17 GMT
Hi Prashant So the exact problem is that after your jsp page is called and the data processed then the file is incomplete? Presumably then you are using ordinary file I/O to write to this file? If that's the case, then I think the answer to your original question is "No - no internal buffer of tomcat is holding the data" Tomcat's buffering is connected with processing servlet request/responses and it doesn't seem that you are using the response object to write your data to the output stream. I assume that you have checked that all of the data is being read from the request by some logging or debugging? I would suspect that a file or stream is not being flushed/closed and that when tomcat is stopped this flushing is happening because the streams are being closed automatically. Maybe you can create some unit tests which can help isolate this problem. It may be either in your file writing code or in the way you are using the jython libraries. Without seeing your code in detail its difficult to be more helpful. I'd guess that you could take your core logic and replicate the problem independently of tomcat. One other point is that saving this file in the tomcat home directory doesn't seem particularly elegant. You could use the default work directory. I doubt that has any relevance to the problem HTH Alan Prashant Golash wrote: > Hi Alan, > Below are the details for the versions and OS: > > Tomcat Version : 6.0 > OS : Windows XP > JVM : 1.6 > > The way web is structured is: > > I have some precompiled python scripts which are actually compiled by jython > into java classes(Before deploying). > I have one python script which uses these precompiled python classes.Now I > am giving one file as > input to this python script and it internally produces the output file using > this input file. > This output file is saved locally in the parent directory of Tomcat. > > There is one jsp page which takes input from the user and then passes the > request to Java class which actually > calls this Python script. > > Note:The python script is actually called using the PythonInterpreter class > and all those Java and Jython integration techniques. > > Sincerely, > Prashant golash > > On Sun, Feb 15, 2009 at 10:02 PM, Alan Chaney > <firstname.lastname@example.com>wrote: > > >> Hi Prashant >> The first question - which version of Tomcat?

"Married To The Paranormal"
Paranormal Investigators
Married in 2004, LORI and RON COFFEY, combined their talents and formed a unique approach to researching the unexlained. Unlike many, who consider Paranormal Research as only "ghost hunting," they regard the "paranormal" as consisting of all things unsolved. This conviction has led them to combine hauntings, Cryptozoology, and Ufology, as well as many other mysteries, into one study. Due to this distinctive approach to investigating, they have quickly become one of the top husband and wife teams in America.
Ron has spent over forty years researching all cryptids, especially Bigfoot and the Dog Man. He has had some up close encounters with both creatures and has developed some unique and different theories on the true nature of these beasts.
Lori has spent many years reseaching the subject of animal ghosts and is considered an expert in this budding field. She is often called on for advice in cases of animal hauntings.
In addition to their specialized work, they have investigated many homes, battlefields, castles and other mysterious locations across the Eastern United States and Northern Europe.
Lori and Ron wear many hats with regards to their research. When not hanging out in graveyards at midnight, chasing Bigfoot and werewolves through the forest, or UFO spotting, they maintain a normal life as successful business owners and the proud parents of a pint-sized future investigator.

Burt Reynolds Introduces the NEW Bandit Trans Am
Bandit Edition Trans Am 1 of 77 signed by the Bandit himself Burt Reynolds.
Trans Am Knight Rider Light Scanner Version 3.5 + 4
Here are my latest versions of my Knight Rider Style lights. Version 3.5 in blue and Version 4 in red. My friend wrote me an awesome new program so I can now PWM (create fade effects) to all of my light scans. It's hard to see them in some of the scans in the video due to how a camera collects light but every scan has a faded beginning and end to them. The video doesn't do it justice to how good they look. My father-in-law is the owner of the Black TA. It was nice being able to film a 2nd car instead of using mine all the time (even though it is in it). I know it's a little crazy trying to watch 2 cars at once going through all of the scans but the Blue scanner has 20 of them and the Red scanner has 30. The video would be way too long if I did them separately. Thanks for watching! Tech Specs: Version 3.5 24 Output Control Box 100 5mm 35,000mcd LEDs Left + Right Scoop are mirrors of each other PWM fade effect Remote Control 10 Speeds per scan EEPROM saves last scan and the speed for all scans. What ever scan is running when it is turned off will begin when turned back on. The speed is saved independently for all scans. Once they are set, they don't have to be set again unless I want to change it. Version 4 50 Output Control Box 200 5mm 35,000mcd LED Independent LEFT - RIGHT scoops Random Eye Scan (eyes move to random position for a random amount of time at a random speed. It will never do the same movement twice). PWM fade effect Remote Control 10 Speeds per scan EEPROM saves last scan and the speed for all scans. What ever scan is running when it is turned off will begin when turned back on. The speed is saved independently for all scans. Once they are set, they don't have to be set again unless I want to change it.

Android Car Stereo Steering Wheel Control Installation for Joying, Pumpkin, others
I put together a detailed video explaining how to hook up your steering wheel controls for one of the many android car stereos out there. This technique should work for just about any type of car. Basically buy the PAC unit you need for your car type (ford, mercedes, honda, etc) and hook it up the way you would if you purchased a Pioneer car stereo. The output to connect to the android car stereo will be a 3.5mm headphone jack style plug. If you have any questions on what PAC unit, you can always contact Crutchfield customer service. Just tell them your car and say you are buying a Pioneer Avic-5100nex. I hope this video helps some people. I struggled like crazy when I bought my first china android car stereo. I hooked my steering wheel control wire to Key 1 and of course it didn't work. The customer service for Joying and Pumpkin are extremely friendly but there is a language barrier. One thing I forgot to mention. After you hook up the PAC unit, you have to run through the PAC programming instructions for Pioneer. It's very simple. It just requires pressing the button no the PAC with the key in the on position. You then run through the list of key presses in order. Just follow the instructions. If you don't do this step, you wont be able to program the Android Stereo.

Our mission today was to get to Suzuka, pick up our tickets and enjoy the event. The Japanese are good.

I took the photo above near Howard University Law Center in Van Ness. I couldn't get over how much it reminded me off the Kennedy Center. Anyone know which was built first?

I took the photo above near Howard University Law Center in Van Ness. I couldn't get over how much it reminded me off the Kennedy Center. Anyone know which was built first?
Photo of the Kennedy Center by PoPville flickr user caroline.angelo
I'm going to guess that the Howard University Law School was built first. Mostly because of the brick underbelly, which the Kennedy Ctr had the good eye not to replicate. Anyway, as with fiction (stretch to the visual creative of architecture), some would argue that there are 7 story plots, from which all fiction writes around. Perhaps the same is true for architecture.
I like that building, very cool.
its the old law library…now condemned but still standing because of the school administration.
Great eye on the striking similarities between the two buildings pictured!
If you can find one, check out a photo of the U.S. Embassy in New Delhi, India. My understanding is that it is the design upon which Mrs. Kennedy based her vision for the performing arts center honoring our slain president. I've seen it in person. Magnificent! Wonder how many other buildings this design may have inspired….
The connection between the Kennedy Center and the US Embassy in New Delhi is more than inspirational – they're both designed by the same architect, Edward Durrell Stone. However, he was apparently chosen as the architect in 1959, so it's unlikely that Jacqueline Kennedy had anything to do with his selection. Other local Stone designs include the part of the National Geographic bulidng that fronts on 17th St.
Actually, I don't understand the entire Howard U. Law School complex. Apparently, it was a Catholic school of some sort at one time as there are several large, brich/stone academic gothic style buildings, at least one with a large cross — and then there is the builiding that is pictured. It seems as if it was a fairly large campus. Was it a a school with dorms? . . . When did Howard take it over? Anyone out there know the history?
The Former Soviet Union and the rest of the Eastern Bloc are dotted with many 'mini Kennedy Centers'.
I like to think of it as DC's Palace of Culture or Дворец культуры if you will.
The Kennedy center is the box the Watergate came in.
The National Theater of Nicaragua was designed to look like the Kennedy Center. Google "Teatro Nacional Ruben Dario" and you'll see!
Can I just say how much I love the collective knowledge of the PoP commentariat? Sure, you have to take some comments with a grain of salt, but I learn more about this city — and other matters — simply by reading this blog!
+1, plus your use of commentariat is uber cool!!
I think the HUSL campus was the Dunbarton College of the Holy Cross.
That's right. Howard bought the campus in the late 70's/early 80's from Holy Cross, when they moved up to the Md suburbs. It had dorms, which are now student organization offices. This old building is totally vacant and run down, and there's a new law library next to it. I don't think there's any plans to renovate this building, there's too much other work that needs to be done to update Howard Law's campus.
@PoP, horse's ass award?
Thanks to all who emailed and tweeted. Perhaps Legal Sea Foods is looking fill the gap left by Johnny's Half…

The opening notes of the lead-off "Might as Well" bring visions of a child ready to run and dance, shout and throw leaves in the air. All the while a young couple, holding hands, steals glances.
This eponymous debut CD by Something For Rockets is a walk in the park, urging movement in as wide as space as possible. Yet I'm stuck at my desk today and I'm left to wriggle in my seat, bobbing my head slightly.
After listening, it's wild to think that singer Rami Perlman is the son of violin virtuoso Itzhak Perlman, though one would have to say he's not quite as high on life as Norah Jones, the offspring of another string genuis, Ravi Shankar.
I don't know how or if that patriarchal relationship informs the music here, except there's clearly an appreciation for trying to inspire a mood. The overall sound is pushing and syncopated synths that weave in and out, under and over casual-as-a-drive-by vocals.
"The Line" is a tune destined for a baller remix, adorned with extra bass and "hep hep" chants in the backround: "It's a Line that you never want to cross. Don't give me that Line (lying?) anymore." The broken relationship tale starts with the quiet, building sound of a marching army of 10,000 privates still a mile away, but coming nearer. Acoustic guitar fingering, reminiscent of Metallica's "One" for its sparsity, fades in and we're away.
"Hypnotic dance-floor beats" the band calls it. With melody. Many of the songs start so quiet, you feel yourself leaning into your (computer in my case), ears tuned in. Some of the drum-machine-and-synth intros sound like the mood music in sci-fi adventure Nintendo games. Especially "Tragic City," "Look Around" and "Dancefloor." That maybe sounds insulting but it's just how it is.
Take a look around the sidewalk is burning. You can hear the sound of everyone conversing. …
Take a look around this bed here is burning. You can hear the sound of you and I rehearsing.
"Look Around" sounds like something I've heard before, welcome as a forgotten $20 bill pulled out of a pair of bottom-of-the-closet trousers. (Another candidate for a dance remix.) : Everybody's taking you out. Everybody's bringing you down. Everybody wants your name. … But I'm just here tonight, to try and make you feel alright. Everybody wants your name.
"Red in the Face" is about as rock and roll as the band gets on this disc, as the guitars take over the first half of the song. Then, like an impatient man on a packed escalator, a progressive rock sound pushes its way forward, briefcase swinging. A child's chant echoes to the end of the song. In the last few louder seconds, as the rest of the song disappears, you realize it's the femine side of the bands fans, probably recorded at a concert.
It's tempting to think "Everybody Loves A lot" is about Rami's father with the refrain: "Everybody love a lot; you're not always there." But though that's very Hollywood, there's no evidence of this anywhere throughout the dozen songs. It's just as tempting to stop speculating about what could be and listen to what is.
Just like the rest of the disc, "Everybody …" is energetic without being 200 beats per second, tranquil without allowing your eyelids to droop for a second. They've found the right balance.
To be honest, the band's new to me and I'm not even sure who does what here. Perlman met Josh Eichenbaum at Brown University. They both hoofed it to LA and dragged in former drummer Barry Davis who doesn't pound that instrument here, that I can tell. Since then, SFR's been building some LA cred (I don't think that's an oxymoron, yet) the old-fashioned way – by playing live.
On March 18 they'll hit SXSW in Austin, in the middle of a mini-tour of the country.
The Rockets buzz will grow. And they'll ….

On Day 1, the huge search and Web services company introduced a series of consumer products: Google Assistant, Google Home, the Allo messaging service and Duo video calling. On the same day, Google unveiled a revamp of its Android mobile operating system; a powerful, freely available analytics engine; and a new server ASIC for machine learning.
That wouldn't be bad for a weeklong conference. But that firehose hit 7,000 I/O attendees in one 2-hour keynote address. Google was merely getting warmed up.
On Day 2, the company introduced Android Virtual Reality. Few details were given, and only a drawing was shown on the keynote screen, but it's in the works, and we should be seeing it by the end of the year.
NEWS ANALYSIS: The integration of Play store, Android and Chrome may turn out to be an important milestone in the company's 17-year history.
Integration of Play Store, Android and Chrome Is Major News
Then Google announced that it is in the process of integrating its Play store and Android smartphone applications into Chrome OS and the popular Chromebook notebook PCs, so the same applications can be used from device to device. That seems like a no-brainer, but it's not as easy a thing to do as it may seem.
Challenges in Integrating Android, Chrome OSes"One of the biggest challenges Google will have with this, even though I do think it is a great idea, is the fact that many Android applications simply do not scale well at higher resolutions," Moorhead said. "Hopefully Google will find a way to address this soon, because the problem is not only hurting Chromebooks running Android apps, but it's also hurting Android tablet sales. Right now, Android phone apps will show up as phone size and Android tablet apps will show up as tablet size apps." On the developer side—remember, Google I/O is a developer-oriented conference designed to get coders excited about platforms so they will create cool new apps for them—the company released Android N. This version includes a powerful new messaging service called Allo, which undoubtedly will end up competing hard against Facebook's continually developing Messenger. Chatbots will become a big marketplace area for both companies, who will compete hard for users to use their messaging and chatbots for buying and selling commercial products and services online.
Driverless Cars Hardly MentionedGoogle didn't even talk about its driverless car initiative, which is seven years into development. Google is by far the furthest along in such a program. In fact, driverless cars were in evidence each day at Google I/O. International visitors gawked at them, while local Silicon Valley folks just shrugged. They're part of the landscape now. In summary, Google just seems to keep moving out to the edges of technology wherever one looks. This year's I/O proved that point many times over.

The Peyton Manning Golf Classic is an annual summer fundraising event in Knoxville that benefits both East Tennessee Children's Hospital and the PeyBack Foundation. At the event, more than 200 golfers in 4-player teams enjoy a round of golf in the morning or afternoon and get to spend time with former University of Tennessee quarterback and current Denver Broncos quarterback, Peyton Manning. The PeyBack Foundation, established by Peyton Manning in 1999, promotes the future success of disadvantaged youth by assisting programs that provide leadership and growth opportunities for children at risk. East Tennessee Children's Hospital uses the proceeds from the event to purchase vital services and equipment.

Peyton Manning will be present at the tournament and visiting with golfers throughout the day at Fox Den Country Club in Farragut. The day of golf will include breakfast, lunch, a 19th hole reception, photo opportunities with Manning and much more.
"We are so thankful to Peyton Manning for including East Tennessee Children's Hospital as a key recipient of his Golf Classic this year. It was a great day to play a round and exciting to see golfers who have supported this tournament for many years continue to participate and support Children's Hospital. When you combine a favorite hometown athlete with a golf event that raises money for two worthwhile charities, it's a hole-in-one day for everyone involved."

It's not easy being in a rock'n'roll band," Dee Dee Ramone said in End of the Century: the story of the Ramones (2003), the warts-and-all documentary about the punk group's two-decade career. Gary Kurfirst, their longstanding manager, was one of the people who made things that little bit easier for the notoriously moody quartet whose contribution to popular music was finally recognised when they were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2002.
Kurfirst was the only manager closely associated with four acts granted that accolade: he also looked after the groundbreaking new-wave bands Talking Heads and Blondie, and worked with the former Clash guitarist, Mick Jones, when he later led Big Audio Dynamite. Although US-based, Kurfirst managed several British groups, including Eurythmics, the Waterboys, the Thompson Twins and Black Grape, the band fronted by Shaun Ryder of the Happy Mondays.
He extricated the notoriously unreliable Ryder from his previous contract, persuaded the US authorities to allow his client entry to the country despite his criminal record, and signed Black Grape to Radioactive, the label he had launched in partnership with MCA in the Nineties. Under his stewardship, Black Grape recorded the chart-topping album It's Great When You're Straight. . . Yeah (1995) and has four Top Ten hits in the UK.
In a career lasting over 40 years and taking in concert promotion and music publishing as well as management, Kurfirst's biggest commercial success came at Radioactive when he discovered the angsty US band Live playing at CBGB's, the New York club where the Ramones and Talking Heads had made their name. Led by their charismatic singer Ed Kowalczyk, Live saw their second album, Throwing Copper (1994), slow-burn its way to the top of the US listings, repeated the feat with Secret Samadhi (1997), and sold 20 million albums around the world. Kurfirst always took the long view, and saw his belief in Talking Heads rewarded when they finally broke through in the US in 1983 with Speaking In Tongues, their fifth studio album. They followed it up with Stop Making Sense, the 1984 concert film directed by Jonathan Demme and produced by Kurfirst.
The manager was considered "the fifth Talking Head" ("he took the blows that the music business dealt us," the band's drummer Chris Frantz reflected) and also served as producer on the frontman David Byrne's directorial debut, True Stories (1986), and Mary Lambert's thriller Siesta (1987), which boasted a Miles Davis soundtrack thanks to Kurfirst's involvement.
Born in New York, Kurfirst showed flair and business acumen in his late teens when he began organising events while studying at Forest Hills High School in Queens. In 1967, he opened the Village Theater – later the Fillmore East under Bill Graham – and helped the blues-rock band Mountain in their contractual negotiations with the Island Records founder Chris Blackwell, who became a lifelong friend and business associate. Blackwell subsequently called on Kurfirst's help to launch the reggae artists Bob Marley, Peter Tosh and Third World in the US in the mid-Seventies.
In 1968, Kurfirst organised the New York Rock Festival, presenting Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, the Doors and The Who in Flushing Meadow Park. Three years later, he signed the Brazilian artist Deodato and enabled him to turn his funky adaptation of Richard Strauss's Also Sprach Zarathustra into a worldwide hit.
But Kurfirst really made his mark in the late Seventies and into the Eighties at the cutting edge of rock and pop through his tireless work on behalf of Talking Heads, the Ramones, the B-52's and Blondie.
It was while on tour with the Blondie singer Deborah Harry in 1990 that he first met Shirley Manson, then the keyboard player with Goodbye Mr. Mackenzie in Glasgow. When Manson launched her own group, Angelfish, he signed them to an album deal after hearing a two-song demo. Though Angelfish failed to live up to their promise, the striking-looking Manson came to the attention of the Nirvana producer Butch Vig, who asked her to join his band Garbage in 1994. Garbage went on to sell 15 million albums, earning Kurfirst a tidy return on his original hunch and investment.
A notoriously tough negotiator, Kurfirst secured himself a percentage on future earnings after parting company with Jane's Addiction in 1990, but was gracious enough to offer a similar deal to Danny Fields and Linda S. Stein when he took over the Ramones' management from them. He also liked to credit himself as "Executive Producer" on albums by many of his acts when he had had little input into the production or mixing of the tracks.
Paying tribute to Kurfirst, Manson said, however: "He was just so passionate about all his artists. He didn't need to have anyone affirm his taste. He loved what he loved and everyone else be damned."

Enoch was the seventh from Adam. Godliness is walking with God: which shows reconciliation to God, for two cannot walk together except they be agreed, Am 3:3. It includes all the parts of a godly, righteous, and sober life. To walk with God, is to set God always before us, to act as always under his eye. It is constantly to care, in all things to please God, and in nothing to offend him. It is to be followers of him as dear children. The Holy
Spirit, instead of saying, Enoch lived, says, Enoch walked with God. This was his constant care and work; while others lived to themselves and the world, he lived to God. It was the joy of his life. Enoch was removed to a better world. As he did not live like the rest of mankind, so he did not leave the world by death as they did. He was not found, because God had translated him, Heb 11:5. He had lived but 365 years, which, as men's ages were then, was
but the midst of a man's days. God often takes those soonest whom he loves best; the time they lose on earth, is gained in heaven, to their unspeakable advantage. See how Enoch's removal is expressed: he was not, for God took him. He was not any longer in this world; he was changed, as the saints shall be, who are alive at Christ's second coming. Those who begin to walk with God when young, may expect to walk with him long, comfortably, and usefully. The true christian's steady walk in
holiness, through many a year, till God takes him, will best recommend that religion which many oppose and many abuse. And walking with God well agrees with the cares, comforts, and duties of life. (Ge 5:25-32)

Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI)
RSI is a term describing a variety of soft tissue problems
Repetitive Strain Injury, or RSI, is a term encompassing a variety of medical conditions which can trigger pain in the muscles, tendons and joints of the body. We still do not understand why some people are more prone to RSI but what we do know is that it can be caused by overusing a limb or joint, or by bad posture. In A.Vogel Talks Repetitive Strain Injury, our muscle and joint expert Earle Logan describes the symptoms of RSI and recommends natural remedies to sooth any pain or inflammation.
An introduction to RSI
'Repetitive Strain Injury' is a loose term describing a variety of conditions which cause pain in the muscles, tendons and joints of the body. The problem mainly affects the upper body, with the wrists being the most common site of injury, and usually results from performing a movement many times over a period of time.
Unlike normal muscular strain or sprains which tend to come about after a single traumatic incident such as a fall, the development of RSI is not quite so clear cut. We still do not know why some people develop the condition and others don't whilst performing exactly the same task.
What causes RSI?
Most cases of RSI are caused by overuse of a limb or joint when performing repeated movements – for example, working on a keyboard for longer periods of time than you would normally.
Many factors can contribute to RSI. A poor posture will cause you to be more likely to develop symptoms, particularly if your muscles are tense. RSI is more common among people experiencing stress.
Even those used to physical activity can experience RSI – for example spending a long time holding a vibrating object, such as a pneumatic drill.
If you are experiencing RSI, it is worth examining your everyday tasks to determine which of these is most likely to be causing your symptoms.
Which joints are commonly affected?
The upper limbs (forearm, elbow, the wrist) are most commonly affected by RSI. These are the joints put under the most strain when working, whether at a desk or performing physical labour. Maintaining good posture and lifting techniques are important steps towards minimising your risk of RSI.
The wrist is particularly prone to RSI and is perhaps the most common joint affected nowadays, with the widespread use of computers at home and work. It is a flexible joint and bears much of the strain we put through our hands, arms and shoulders.
What are the symptoms?
The most common symptoms of RSI include:
- Pain
- Tingling
- A feeling of restlessness in the joint
- Weakness
- Throbbing
- Stiffness or cramp
Symptoms usually develop over a period of time. Initially, they may 'creep in', only noticeable when carrying out a specific movement. These early symptoms may worsen and develop further, causing prolonged pain, no matter what you are doing with your affected joint.
If left untreated, the symptoms of RSI are likely to worsen. It is advisable to seek treatment as early as possible as this will improve your chances of full recovery.
What treatments are available?
These include:
- Rest – this is the first step that should be taken. Stop the activity causing symptoms and give the affected joint a break. If you have developed RSI as a result of your workplace then look to change your working environment or find a way of supporting your joint better
- Look after your injury – ice packs help with swelling and warm compresses help relax the structures in a joint. Alternating the two is often said to be most effective. Additionally, wearing a support or a splint when carrying out the task causing you problems can help. However, you do not want the joint to stiffen so, when not at work, take the support off to allow your joint to move freely
- Physiotherapy – this provides exercises and advice on how to strengthen and relax your muscles. It may also be helpful in establishing a good posture if this is contributing to your problem
- Alexander Technique – this retrains your postural habits and teaches you to stand and sit better. It also tackles your breathing which has a bearing on how relaxed you are in any particular situation
- Steroids – a specific condition such as carpal tunnel syndrome causing your RSI may require treatment using steroid injections. This is often the treatment of last resort and used for persistent cases as steroids can be associated with side-effects
- Herbal remedies – there are certain herbal remedies which can help in treating muscle and joint problems such as RSI. They may be used as the sole form of treatment, or alongside self-help measures such as rest and support. Devil's Claw is a herb which is used internally for general aches or pains in muscles and joints, and may be helpful for RSI. Atrogel arnica gel can be applied externally to the painful area, and will help with pain and swelling in muscles and stiffness in joints.

The situations are different, and even the most well-thought-out plan can be overturned by unforeseen circumstances.
For example, a law-abiding borrower can suddenly become seriously ill or even lose their jobs, and it predstoitstolknutsya a serious problem with the repayment of the loan.
What can be done in this situation?
For a start, no need to panic, in despairsprinkle ashes on his head or start to dry crackers. It is best to objectively assess your situation and plan exit from this situation. Refinancing - run to another bank for a new loan and get into one more debt to cover old - is not the best option. Also, do not go to extremes and to escape from creditors in the woods, mastering extreme survival in the forest. A more sensible option - to contact your bank and try to solve the problem together. After all, if Logically, a bank (with one hand) is interested in the fact that the borrower has paid the entire loan, and (the other) extra judicial proceedings are not necessary.
What is offered by the bank as a way out of this situation?
Option 1. Provide delay payments on the loan, giving you the ability to restore their ability to pay for some time.
Option 2. Extension of loan term by changing the schedule of monthly payments, while reducing their value this.
Option 3: Conversion of a loan into another currency in order to reduce the amount of payments.
For its part, you, as a borrower, should alsomake every effort to solve the problem. If your financial situation has worsened due to illness, give the bank all the necessary information that will confirm this. If you are fired, then try to find a new job, even if it pays less than the previous position or - at least temporarily, until you settle your loan. As long as you look for a more suitable option work, you will be able to cope with the current payments.
If you took out a loan to buy a new apartment,it is possible to rent out or sell. Of course, the latter option is not desirable, especially in the economic situation in our country, but in extreme situations this may be the only way out. Whatever the solution out of the situation you choose, the main thing - not to delay it, hoping "at random", and begin to address the problem immediately. But above all how to think about and weigh.

THE TOP CLUBS ARE dictatorships run by benevolent despots. Arsène Wenger, Sir Alex Ferguson, José Mourinho — these are men who have left their imprint on every aspect of their clubs. They are directors of football and head coaches rolled into one. They are control freaks and their chairmen grant them absolute power. The result: success.
What Tottenham Hotspur have is a coaching bureaucracy — a proliferation of people with similar jobs. It is a recipe for confusion and passing the buck; you have everyone wondering who is accountable for mistakes. It might seem safer and prudent in such a

Funny and Thin
SPOILER ALERT! I rat out the ending, so if you're thinking about seeing the production and want to know if it's worth your $15, here are my thoughts:
1) Strong direction by John S. Infante.
2) Wonderful performance by Bob Kokol as a walking bladder problem.
3) Mike Martin's Einstein is too arch at the beginning but smoothes out half-way.

4) But then the production grinds to a halt. Masumi Emil's lackluster art dealer and Grayson Berry's "I'm-the-only-person-onstage-look-at-me" performance as Picasso are the prime culprits.
5) The production looks to be DOA until Shawn Michael Brewer's entrance as obnoxious entrepreneur Schmendiman steals the show and gives the pacing an ass kicking.
That all adds up to a qualified "yes": a decent production of an often very funny, if remarkably thin, comedy.
Now stop reading if you don't want the ending spoiled. The crispness of comedian Steve Martin's writing is a joy but doesn't add up to much. The numerous art and philosophy references indicate that he might lead us into deeper intellectual territory, but it turns out he is merely name-dropping. Anyone who has ever seen or read an interview with Martin knows the guy's brilliant, but in this, his first play, he rarely follows through with his ideas to any real conclusion. When he does, the conclusions are pretty fatuous.
Case in point: Picasso and Einstein meet in a small French tavern to talk about a third genius who'll invade the world's consciousness with them. That third party turns out to be Elvis Presley. At play's end, when stars in the sky miraculously spell out the men's names, Presley's overshadows the other two. Martin may have been making a joke about society's exaltation of celebrity over substance, but there's no indication it's meant sarcastically, so who knows? Presley —who once said, "The only thing a nigger can do for me is buy my records and shine my shoes"—isn't even remotely in the same league as the scientist who drafted the theory of relativity or the artist who changed the art world (and laid the foundation for rock & roll) with Les Demoiselle d'Avignon. All three men were major pussy hounds, but that's about all they had in common. Reactionary as it might sound, it's insulting to mention those geniuses and a racist hick in the same breath.

Why Edge Data Centers Play Increased Role in Global ConnectivityData centers that house the cloud systems that serve up the apps used on connected devices are popping up all over the globe, and often in cities away from the traditional core markets.
Edge IT Continues to Expand GloballyEdge data centers are effectively bringing top-notch Internet connectivity to Tier 2 media regions, such as St. Louis, Orlando and Milwaukee. Disagreements sometimes exist over what constitutes an edge versus a co-location facility, but if you're able to cache about 80 percent of the Internet (which means Netflix, YouTube, Akamai, etc.) for the majority of broadband subscribers in an area, you've extended the edge of the Internet.
Edge Data Centers MultiplyingEdgeConneX, a large edge data center builder/owner, was just an idea three years ago; by the end of this year it will have 30 data centers. vXchnge bought eight facilities from SunGuard in May to expand its footprint to 15 cities. Other builders are now getting into the action in other regions around the world.
A Surprise Key Driver of Edge Data Movement: PsyA big driver of the edge movement was Psy, the South Korean who's "Gangnam Style" hit broke streaming records a few years ago. For example, every time someone in Phoenix wanted to watch the video, they were retrieving it from Los Angeles, incurring transport fees for the Internet service provider. This will be happening less often in the future with the advent of more edge data centers.
Hyperscale Data Centers Getting LargerAt the other end of the spectrum, hyperscale data centers are getting larger and taking up more real estate. In China, the Range International Information Hub, opening later this year, will cover 6.3 million square feet, slightly smaller than the Pentagon. SuperNap, meanwhile, will build a collection of data center buildings in Reno, Nev., covering 6.5 million square feet.
More and More Servers Being RequiredHere's a glimpse of the world's most hyperactive hyperscaler: Amazon manages a whopping 1.5 million to 2 million servers in 28 "sets" (primary and redundant) of data centers around the world. The world's largest Web services provider divides the world into 11 cloud regions. The Next Generation Data Europe Data Center in Wales, meanwhile, was retrofitted from an LG Semiconductor plant; it now holds 19,000 racks. Each rack may hold anywhere from two to eight servers; that's a lot of servers.
States and Governors Love Data CentersTwenty-three states offer tax incentives and other stimuli to data center builders, and 16 others have offered ad-hoc incentives, bringing the total to 49 states offering $1.5 billion in tax breaks.
Tax Incentives Getting Greater All the TimeIn Minnesota, data centers that sport 25,000 square feet and cost $30 million can obtain a 20-year sales tax exemption on equipment and energy and a permanent property tax exemption on equipment. Ten facilities have qualified. Nevada awarded $229 million in incentives to SuperNap for building $3 billion in facilities and $55 million to Apple for its $400 million data center. Iowa is home to facilities for Microsoft, Google and Facebook and gives incentives for investments as low as $1 million.
Surprising Data Point: While Construction Rises, Server Utilization DropsData center construction will grow 21 percent per year through 2018. Computing assets, however, are going to waste. The Antithesis Group and Stanford University's Jonathan Koomey, extrapolating from their own work and other studies, estimated that 30 percent of servers in the U.S. were comatose, meaning that they have not performed valuable computing work or delivered data in the past six months. Worldwide, they estimate the total comes to 10 million servers and close to $30 million in idle capital.
Study: More Use of Cloud Could Cut Overall Energy UsageIn 2013, Lawrence Berkeley National Labs conducted a thought experiment to see how much energy could be saved if everyone in the U.S. shifted email, CRM and other common productivity apps to the cloud. The lab estimated that it could cut energy used to run these apps by 87 percentenough to power Los Angeles on a daily basis.
As connected devices keep flying out of manufacturing facilities and into the hands of eager users and companies around the world, the applications—and the cloud services serving up the applications—used on those devices continue to multiply. In turn, the data centers that house the cloud systems that serve up the applications that are used on connected devices are popping up all over the globe, and often in places that are not prime territory for major IT systems. These are known as "edge" data centers; in North America, they include such out-of-the-way locations as Oregon, Montana, New Brunswick, North Carolina and Alaska. An edge data center requires a different set of considerations than building a standard co-location facility; it's about creating ruggedized interconnection ecosystems in cities away from the traditional core markets. Edge data center companies are building smaller hubs in places that don't already have them but are becoming increasingly bandwidth-hungry. In this eWEEK slide show, using industry information from enterprise NAND flash disk maker SanDisk, we examine key trends and metrics at the close of 2015 around this sector.

Crucial Fact

Last in Parliament October 2015, as Conservative MP for Glengarry—Prescott—Russell (Ontario)
Lost his last election, in 2015, with 36% of the vote.
Statements in the House
Food Labelling June 19th, 2015
Mr. Speaker, no government has done as much as our Conservative government to support Canadian farmers and livestock producers. That is why we will continue to fight the unfair rules on country of origin labelling imposed by the United States.
Yesterday the Americans used yet another procedural tactic to delay the WTO process. The reality is that COOL is costing Canadian cattle and hog producers more than $3 billion in annual damages.
As the most pro-job and pro-export government in Canadian history, we have taken action to fight back against these protective measures, unlike the NDP, which is supportive of these kinds of trade barriers. In fact, the NDP trade critic actually introduced a bill to create Canada's own mandatory country of origin labelling, a law that would undoubtedly harm Canadian exporters and kill Canadian jobs.
Our Conservative government understands that to create jobs, we have to tear down trade walls, not erect new ones.
On this side of the House, we will continue to stand up for Canadian farmers and livestock producers and protect Canadians' jobs.
Sir Winston Churchill June 8th, 2015
Mr. Speaker, it is an honour to rise today to mark the visit to Canada of Randolph Churchill, the great grandson of the great Sir Winston Churchill. I would also like to note that this visit was organized by Ron Cohen, who is the president of the Churchill Society of Ottawa.
Sir Winston Churchill provides the example of leadership on the world stage for modern day political leaders. It is because of his strong and principled leadership that I have the freedom today to give this statement. Churchill once remarked in Quebec City, "the spirit of freedom has found a safe and abiding home" in Canada. These words remain true today more than ever.
I would ask the House to join me in recognizing the legacy and life of one of history's greatest leaders, Sir Winston Churchill.
71st Anniversary of D-Day June 5th, 2015
Mr. Speaker, tomorrow is the 71st anniversary of D-Day, the day that Canadian and Allied troops stormed the beaches of Normandy, France, in their campaign to liberate Europe from tyranny and oppression. The successful landing on D-Day allowed the Allies to gain a foothold in France and would come to mark what many consider to be the turning point of the Second World War, leading to the defeat of the Nazi forces and an end to their occupation of Europe.
We proudly pay tribute to our veterans. We remember their service and the sacrifice they made in demonstrating their unmatchable courage. We also thank the men and women in uniform around the world today who carry on the fight to ensure that the horrific events of World War II are never repeated.
We know evil still exists in the world and we remember that our country will always stand for what is good, what is right, and what is just. To our veterans and to those who made the ultimate sacrifice, their nation is truly grateful.
Canadian Armed Forces May 27th, 2015
Mr. Speaker, we know all too well the dangers posed by terrorism in an uncertain world. Two hundred and twenty members of the Canadian Armed Forces are working with law enforcement agencies and ten partner nations on an international explosive ordnance disposal exercise at CFB Esquimalt and in the greater Victoria. B.C. region.
Exercise ARDENT DEFENDER is held annually and brings together the Canadian Armed Forces alongside allies and partners to share best practices on this ever-evolving threat.
Having served in our Canadian Armed Forces myself, and on behalf of the people of my riding of Glengarry—Prescott—Russell, I want to thank our brave men and women in uniform for their constant vigilance at home and abroad.
Common Sense Firearms Licensing Act May 25th, 2015
Mr. Speaker, I would like to hear what my colleague thinks about bureaucrats deciding with the stroke of a pen that thousands upon thousands of law-abiding gun owners would immediately become criminals, illegal gun owners, overnight, with no consultation. What does she think about that? How does she answer to her farmers and to sports shooters about that? That is really the issue.
The minister, of course, is free to consult, and I am sure that he will consult before undertaking such a decision.
The other important aspect of what we are debating here is what I mentioned in my remarks, and that is that the decision made by bureaucrats to basically render thousands of Canadians criminals could not be undone in the current legislative or regulatory form. That is important, because an error was made. The error needs to be corrected, and this bill provides the mechanism, the tool, for such errors to be corrected.
I do not know what the member would have against that.
Common Sense Firearms Licensing Act May 25th, 2015
Mr. Speaker, I think that question highlights how I just responded to the last question. The Liberals are in favour of incredible bureaucracy that constrains law-abiding Canadian gun owners. A good example is the ATT. Just so I get the quote right, this is a direct quote from the Liberal leader. He said:
Bill C-42 would allow handguns and assault weapons to be freely transported in a trunk anywhere within a province, even left parked outside a Canadian Tire or local hockey arena.
That quote shows a remarkable lack of understanding, first about the issue and what an ATT is, and second what the bill would do to correct this issue for law-abiding gun owners. That quote was refuted by witness after witness at committee. The Liberal members should really back away from that, perhaps have a look at their policy with respect to law-abiding gun owners, and take this opportunity to stand up and defend law-abiding gun owners by supporting the legislation.
Common Sense Firearms Licensing Act May 25th, 2015
Mr. Speaker, it was very fanciful skating over there to somehow attribute the gun registry to Conservatives. Everyone knows in Canada that the long gun registry came from the Liberal Party. Talk to any gun owner in Canada, and they will tell us about the loathing they have for the Liberal Party for having brought it in and defended it to its last dying gasp. When that bill to end the long gun registry was in front of Parliament, how did that member vote, I wonder. I will tell members. He voted to keep it. There is no question that the long gun registry is very close and dear to the hearts of Liberal members. That is why they have lost the support of law-abiding gun owners all across Canada, gun owners who respect our laws. They should not be treated in such shameful ways as the Liberals have treated them.
I want to thank the member for having allowed me to highlight this marked difference between the Liberal position and the Conservative position and Conservative leadership on this critical matter.
Common Sense Firearms Licensing Act May 25th, 2015
Mr. Speaker, just to go back to my quote from the member, I did not disparage him in any way. I simply quoted what he said at committee, which he agreed to here in the House, which is that gun owners, should their licence inadvertently expire due to some administrative oversight, should not be threatened with criminal prosecution. He and I agree on that, and I think that is where common sense comes into this legislation. That is why I appeal to his common sense and the common sense of his colleagues to stand and vote on this important bill.
When it comes to the idea of challenging the exam or having to take a firearms safety course, we feel that it is also good common sense that new gun owners take a gun safety course.
I live in a rural area. I am an MP for a rural riding. I have a gun licence, and I acquired it by attending a course. They are not as inaccessible as my colleague would have people believe, and it is not an onerous matter. The courses are very simple. They are very time effective. All new gun owners would be raised to the same standard of understanding regarding gun safety and gun responsibility. That is something I think Canadians support. It is something gun owners support, and it is something my colleagues in the opposition should definitely support.
Common Sense Firearms Licensing Act May 25th, 2015
Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to rise in the House today to speak to Bill C-42, the Common Sense Firearms Licensing Act. This is an important legislative measure, since, for the first time in 20 years, it will make a significant change to the way in which firearms licences are awarded in Canada.
There are eight important measures in this common-sense legislation that highlight the clear approach our Conservative government is taking to firearms' policies, namely it is that policies should promote safety but that they must also be sensible.
I served in the Canadian Armed Forces for 20 years, and in doing so acquired professional knowledge regarding firearms, firearms safety and firearms responsibilities. Now as a civilian, I have gone through the process of obtaining my possession and acquisition licence. As a firearm owner myself and as a sport shooter, I can say that the important changes contained in the bill are needed and much appreciated by law-abiding Canadian gun owners.
I can also say that these policies and, more generally, this bill, have the support of a large number of Canadians from coast to coast.
Before I get into the details, I would like to start by explaining where I stand on this debate. This is a debate about culture. Hunting, fishing, trapping and sport shooting are all proud parts of our Canadian heritage.
Were it not for these activities, the brave men and women who settled Canada would simply never have been able to undertake and sustain the exploration that has grown into the greatest country in the world. Not only that, many young Canadians can look back fondly on hunting excursions with their family.
We need to encourage this type of activity.
However, the firearms policies crafted by the previous Liberal government often served to dissuade people from engaging in these Canadian heritage activities. Policies that criminalize the ownership of firearms will simply discourage individuals from becoming involved. The same can be said for increased needless paperwork.
Former Liberal justice minister and father of the long gun registry, Allan Rock, said that he that he came to Ottawa with the firm belief that only police and the military should have firearms. On this side of the House, we could not disagree more.
That is exactly why we introduced the bill before us today.
As I said a moment ago, the bill continues to deliver on our record of safe and sensible firearms policies. These two themes run throughout the bill.
First, I would like to touch on how the bill would keep us safe.
Our Conservative government has a strong record in tackling the criminal use of firearms. We have passed a series of new measures to ensure that criminals who use firearms go to prison for a very long time. For example, we created a new offence to criminalize drive-by and other reckless shootings. The bill before us today builds on this with three key measures.
First, we will establish mandatory firearms safety training for first-time firearms owners. This is a very important change because, in the past, individuals were able to simply challenge the test, which did not ensure any level of consistency in knowledge of how to safely operate a firearm. This change is widely supported. For example, Pierre Latraverse of the Fédération québécoise des chasseurs et pêcheurs said, "This bill...simplifies the procedures for awarding a permit for users who follow the law, while strengthening safety and education".
Second, in the area of public safety, the bill before us today would amend the Criminal Code to strengthen the provisions relating to order prohibiting the possession of firearms where a person would be convicted of an offence involving domestic violence.
That is very important. I will repeat for emphasis. It will be mandatory to prohibit the possession of firearms in cases of serious offences involving domestic violence. In fact, nearly two-thirds of all those convicted of spousal homicide had a history of domestic violence. This change makes perfect sense.
Tony Rodgers, executive director of the Nova Scotia Federation of Anglers and Hunters, had this to say:
The amended Criminal Code to strengthen the provision relating to orders prohibiting possession of firearms where a person is convicted of an offence involving domestic violence is a step in the right direction.
The last public safety measure in this legislation that I would to address is the authorization of firearms import information sharing for restricted and prohibited firearms imported by business.
I would like to expand on this important point if I may. When a business imports a restricted or prohibited firearm, it has to complete forms and the merchandise has to be examined by the Canada Border Services Agency at the border. The business also has to register the firearms when they are received in the shop before they can be sold.
However, the two agencies are operating in silos. If a business tells the Canada Border Services Agency that it has 5,000 units but registers just 3,000 with the RCMP, nobody compares those numbers. Consequently, 2,000 units could end up on the black market. That is a big problem, especially in British Columbia. That is why this was raised during federal, provincial and territorial meetings, and that is why we are pleased to be taking action on this important issue.
I now would like to touch on our five measures to make our firearms policies more sensible.
First, we would create a six-month grace period at the end of the five-year licence. This would stop otherwise law-abiding individuals from being criminalized overnight for a simple error in paperwork.
Some people have wrongly claimed that this change was made just to satisfy the firearms lobby because no other permit has a grace period after it expires.
However, I would like to counter that argument with this point. If I let my driver's licence, my dog licence, my fishing licence or any other licence lapse, I may have to pay a fine or be subject to another regulatory punishment. If I let my firearms licence lapse, I could go to prison for a significant length of time. It is clear that the threat of prison time for administrative oversight deserves special attention for leniency.
However, we do not want this new measure to be abused. That is why, under the legislation, an individual would not be allowed to purchase new firearms or ammunition or even use their firearms during that time. However, a person would not become an overnight criminal as the result of a simple, honest mistake. That is common sense policy. No one who is not simply ideologically opposed to the civilian possession of firearms can disagree with this measure.
Even the NDP member for Esquimalt—Juan de Fuca had to agree that this was common sense in committee. What did he have to say about the grace period? He said, "I do agree with some of our other presenters is that perhaps a failure to renew shouldn't result in an immediate criminal charge".
The next measure to make our firearms policies more sensible is the merger of the possession-only licence and the possession and acquisition licence. Again, this makes good sense.
The possession-only licence was created by the previous Liberal government as a grandfathering system. Those who did not want to engage in the new bureaucratic regime would not have their firearms taken away, but they would not be able to purchase any new ones, either. This group of firearms owners averages approximately 60 years of age and has owned firearms in excess of 20 years. This group is clearly experienced in the safe handling and use of firearms. That is why this legislative change would give purchasing rights to nearly 600,000 individuals.
Let me again quote Pierre Latraverse of the Fédération québécoise des chasseurs et pêcheurs, who said:
It's a very positive measure, given that there will only be a single licence under these conditions. This is much more representative of what owning a firearm is like. Currently, there are two licences: a possession licence and a possession and acquisition licence. If you only have a possession licence, you cannot purchase firearms. You have to go back through the system to buy a possession and acquisition licence.
With the merger, a hunter won't have to go through the whole administrative process again to purchase another firearm.
The next sensible measure is the elimination of useless paperwork for authorization to transport restricted and prohibited weapons. Currently, an individual who wants to do target practice with a restricted weapon has to fill out forms when he wants to go to a firing range.
Sometimes provincial chief firearms officers, or CFOs, will allow for broader authorizations, but I will touch on that and on their discretion later.
This paperwork is then sent to the CFO, or the chief firearms officer, where it is filed in a drawer and never seen again. It is not shared with law enforcement and it is not searchable. Aside from the wasteful and ineffective long gun registry, which our Conservative government proudly destroyed, this is yet another significant waste of taxpayer dollars within the entire firearms regime. It makes no sense to require all of this needless paperwork.
I would like to quote from a National Post editorial from earlier this month. It said:
The aims of our gun control system...are worthwhile and important. Our approach to achieving these ends, however, leaves much to be desired, and inflicts burdensome red tape on citizens well beyond what is necessary.
Take, for instance, the current system controlling the lawful transport of restricted firearms...The prospective buyer of a handgun most have a restricted-class licence, and must show he has a valid reason to buy it...The firearm must be stored, unloaded, inside a securely locked container or safe. And it must be equipped with a secondary trigger lock even when so secured. The only place the handgun may be legally transported is from the owner's home to a firing range, or a gun repair shop, and back, by a "reasonably direct route."
And that's not the end of it. The gun owner must then apply for an entirely separate piece of paperwork — an authorization to transport, or ATT. This permit repeats what the firearms licence already establishes: that the lawful possessor of a registered gun can only transport it via a direct route from home to certain authorized locations.
What good is this? Anyone who qualifies to own a handgun clearly already meets the legal requirements of using it at a certified facility, and anyone who cannot legally qualify to transport a gun back and forth should not be authorized to possess one in the first place. The entire ATT system is redundant.
It simply does not make sense and it does not protect the public. These are two strong reasons to support this important legislation.
What else would this legislation do?
As I mentioned earlier, it would end the arbitrary powers of the chief firearms officers. Elected officials would take their appropriate place overseeing the decisions of CFOs that directly affect law-abiding gun owners.
The current rules and procedures have resulted in a nonsensical patchwork across the country. It is ridiculous that these would differ vastly between Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Ontario. There have to be harmonized standards across the country.
The final measure I would like to discuss is, in my opinion, one of the most important ones in the whole bill. We will enable a duly elected government to have the final say in classification decisions.
Why make such a big change? As many have pointed out, the government already has the power to further restrict the classification of a firearm, but it does not have the power to relax restrictions.
That problem became all too apparent on February 25, 2014. That was the day that tens of thousands of Canadians woke up to find that the Canadian firearms program had turned them into criminals with the stroke of a pen. Unilaterally, a change had been made to the Firearms Reference Table. The minister was not consulted, nor was any other Canadian.
There was no legislation, no regulation, not even an order-in-council that authorized this change.
Even more worrisome, there was no way to correct the mistake. That is why this bill is so important.
I can reconfirm, as the Minister of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness has said numerous times, as soon as the legislation receives royal assent, we will restore the non-restricted classification of the Swiss arms and the CZ858 families of rifles.
It is clear that our Conservative government is standing up for law-abiding hunters, farmers and sport shooters. However, what about the other political parties? Well, I expect that we will hear for the remainder of this debate how awful firearms are and how they ought to be further restricted. That should come as no surprise, given that both the Liberals and the NDP have committed to bringing back a wasteful and ineffective long gun registry should they ever get the chance.
What has struck me, however, is the degree of contempt for gun owners. The member for Trinity—Spadina alluded to some sort of moral equivalence between hunters and terrorists. That is the same member who said in the past that emotional arguments from hunters were not enough to justify not banning the sale of ammunition.
In case anyone thinks this is a rogue junior member, let us listen to the words of the Liberal leader. He said that this bill:
would allow handguns and assault weapons to be freely transported in a trunk anywhere within a province, even left parked outside a Canadian Tire or a local hockey arena.
He even put out a fundraising advertisement with the same comments. This is patently ridiculous. The Liberal leader is either trying to fearmonger or he simply does not have a clue about how firearms are regulated in Canada, or it could be both.
I was pleased to see Conservative members of the public safety committee ask Tony Bernardo, one of Canada's foremost firearms experts, about this advertisement and whether it was accurate. Here is what he had to say: "I've seen the advertisements and they are incorrect".
What is more, the question was also put to non-partisan public servants. The assistant deputy minister of public safety answered with a simple "no" when asked by committee members if the advertisements were accurate.
The facts are these. Despite the claims of the Liberal Party, firearms issues are serious issues. Any serious leader must stand up for these rights, and it is clear that the only leader who will do so is the Prime Minister.
In closing, I would like to remind the members of the House that we are talking about Canada's hunting, fishing and sport shooting culture. We are talking about important outdoor activities that are enjoyed by over 4 million Canadians. We should be promoting those activities, not making them less accessible.
Before my colleagues opposite rise to ask questions about why the so-called gun lobby has so influenced the bill, I would like to remind them of something. There are simply ordinary Canadians who enjoy these activities.
I would like to remind my colleagues of the words of Greg Farrant, from the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters, who said the following:
Firearms owners in Canada are judges, lawyers, farmers, electricians, mechanics, plumbers, accountants, even federal politicians...who live in and represent urban ridings. They are not criminals. They are not gang members. Rather, they are lawful firearms owners who obey the law.
I hope that members heed those words when they vote on this important legislation, because I know that the individuals who care about firearms issues and property rights issues will be watching this debate closely.
