It is day six of the federal election campaign and, as usual, I am watching it with great curiosity and interest.
The federal party leaders are out and about, everyone making their first of a large number of stops in the vote-rich GTA.
They talk about issues like infrastructure, manufacturing and families.
They also talk about crime.
If the party leaders want to get serious about crime, they can do what the Toronto Police Services Board and Mayor Miller (who is a member of our Board) have repeatedly called on Ottawa to do – impose a handgun ban.
This issue goes far beyond the election. It is an issue that I have frequently blogged on (here, here and here) because it is one significant thing that the federal government can do quickly to address the issue of gun violence in this country.
I will continue to watch this election with great interest in the hope that all party leaders will make the issue of a handgun ban a priority
