Compelled Speech is Now the Law of the Land

Is it just for a judge to order a defendant to violate his own freedom of thought and freedom of conscience?

Pastor Cody Butler Arrested for Violating New Brunswick COVID Mandate

Pastor Cody Butler: Thanksgiving is a national holiday celebrated in Canada and many other countries that began as a day to give thanks for the blessing of the harvest of the preceding year.

Free Speech is Despised Across the Political Spectrum

I expect politicians on the left of the political spectrum to despise free speech. But when supposedly conservative politicians embrace this censorious nonsense, as Ontario Premier Doug Ford did with Bill 254, how do I explain that away?

Manitoba Invokes COVID Vaccine Passport, Arrests Maxime Bernier

If anyone can explain to me in rational terms why Canada must continue to destroy jobs, lives and families over COVID lockdown measures, I’m all ears.

Until then, I cite Florida and Texas as evidence of why we must stop the madness immediately.

Edmonton Crown Prosecutor vs Mexican Police Hunted and Murdered by Drug Cartels

“A Crown prosecutor, whose identity is under a publication ban due to security concerns, called only one witness,” said the CBC.

Security concerns?

Honestly?

If this was Mexico, where the notoriously violent Jalisco Cartel is hunting down and murdering off-duty police officers and their entire families, I could understand how a government prosecutor might have ‘security concerns.’

Edmonton’s Gutless and Cowardly Crown Prosecutor

When I read that the Crown Prosecutor attempting to put Pastor James Coates in prison asked for and was granted a publication ban on his or her identity…. well, honestly, I think I was stunned into wordlessness.

Bill C-10: Free Speech Under Attack

I don’t need or want the government and their bureaucratic minions to have control over what I say in public on social media or my own website.  Yet that’s what we’ll be stuck with if Bill C-10 passes as it is currently written.

Jason Kenney: Alberta’s King of COVID and Master of Tone-Deaf Hypocrisy

The same day he ordered a Calgary SWAT team to perform a ‘high-risk takedown’ of Pastor Artur Pawlowski in the middle of a busy Alberta highway [Watch Arrest Video], Jason Kenney had the audacity to Tweet:

Today is an important commemoration of one of the greatest victories in the history of human freedom, the day when Canadian troops in Europe joined their allies in celebrating total victory and the complete surrender of the Nazi German regime.

Let’s rededicate ourselves to remembering those who made the ultimate sacrifice to ensure that future generations know about the central role that Canada played in that critical victory in Europe 76 years ago.

Retired Pastor in Ghana Accidentally Shoots Himself While Patrolling His Property

It’s every upstanding person’s worst nightmare.

A gang of thieves target you and your family for harassment because of your faith. Police can’t be there 24/7 so you do what you can to keep your family safe, which includes patrolling your property with a loaded firearm.

This was the predicament a retired Pastor in Ghana found himself in on April 28, 2021. 

Loaded Firearms and Children Don’t Mix

Firearms are useful, life-saving tools in the right hands. They are also deadly weapons capable of destroying lives when in the wrong hands.

If that means storing your firearms in a gun safe when not in use to prevent them from getting into the wrong hands, so be it.

The life you save could be your child’s.
