Emergencies Act Court Challenge by the Canadian Constitution Foundation

A generous anonymous donor will match your donation dollar for dollar to a maximum of $25,000. The only catch? Your donation must be received in July in order to qualify for this matching donation.

Is Jagmeet Singh the Best Scam Artist in Ottawa?

The best I can say about Jagmeet Singh is that he’s a magnificent political opportunist in Canada’s wholly corrupt political system. 

No, Mr. Singh, that’s not a compliment.

The Next 2-Minute Freedom Challenge Starts Today

Over the next 100 days, my goal is to help transform our world out of fear, shame, isolation and divisiveness and into a world where gratitude, love,  joy and compassion are the motivating factors in our lives.

Elections Canada: 200,000+ Mail-In Ballots Not Counted in 2021 Election

Elections Canada released its Report on the 44th General Election of September 20, 2021 on January 31st, 2022.

Joël Lightbound: Unexpected Courage From Inside the Liberal Caucus

As more and more nations around the globe drop all COVID restrictions, Justin Trudeau’s Liberal government insists on doubling down on measures that are proven failures. Kudos to Joël Lightbound for calling Trudeau out on this.

Erin O’Toole Blames Everyone But Himself Right to the Bitter End

My hope and prayer is that a man or woman of integrity will step up to the plate and accept the daunting challenge ahead. My fervent prayer is that individual embraces the concept of extreme ownership because it’s inspiring to engage with a leader who has your back, no matter what, and gives you all the tools you need to win.

Largest Poll Ever Conducted Overwhelmingly Opposes Vaccine Mandates

That poll, the Freedom Convoy 2022 GoFundMe fundraiser is the most valid because every single one of the 86,800 donors who collectively raised $6,803,580 (as of midnight January 27th) put their hard-earned money where their mouths are.  No other poll ever conducted can make this claim. 

Liberals Launch Mandatory Vaccination Trial Balloon to Capitalize on Hatred and Division

Or maybe all this nonsense is because the COVID “pandemic” nears its end and governments – -federal, provincial and territorial – have enjoyed this Charter-free age where they can do as they please with no accountability or oversight.

Is Justin Trudeau projecting his issues onto others when he calls Unvaccinated Canadians Racist, Misogynist?

He likely directed his comments at white Christians (whose religious rights are supposedly protected) and even if we restrict his comments to that specific minority, why does he believe it’s acceptable to strip that minority of its God-given rights and freedoms?

As Violent Repeat Offenders Ply Their Wicked Trade, Liberal Govt Focuses on Licensed Gun Owners

If only a Liberal saying “doing more” meant taking illegal guns out of the hands of violent criminals. Alas, it does not.

It means more restrictions on Canadians who obey the law while ignoring the drug dealers, gang members and a variety of other criminals who shoot up downtown Toronto nightly.

Erin O’Toole’s Election Dilemma: How to Stop Sounding Like Trudeau

The key to winning an election is to offer policy solutions that set you apart from your rivals in the minds of voters.

And this is where Erin O’Toole utterly fails.

Where are the Defenders of Religious Freedom?

Where are the Defenders of Religious Freedom? Except for Derek Sloan and Randy Hillier, there isn’t a politician in the land with the backbone to defend the Charter rights of Canadians.

Premier Doug Ford Does the Unthinkable and Admits He was Wrong

Full marks for courage and character for Ontario Premier Doug Ford. He did what no other Canadian government official has done since COVIDiocy overtook the nation: he admitted he made a mistake.

Municipal Police to Doug Ford: Never Go Full Retard

It’s now clear (if it wasn’t before) that Ontario Premier Doug Ford and his so-called ‘conservative’ government has completely lost the plot.

While more and more American states end their lockdowns and mask orders, Doug Ford decided to go full retard, despite a decades-old warning against such stupidity.

Lawyers, Carry a Gun to Protect Yourselves says Philippine DOJ Chief

Free Legal Assistance Group (FLAG) claims 61 lawyers and court staff were murdered since Duterte came to power, topping the number of lawyers murdered by all previous regimes combined.

The situation is so dire that Philippines Department of Justice Secretary Menardo Guevarra should arm themselves for protection.

Promise Made Promise Broken: The Conservative Party’s Election Expense Rebate Clawback Debacle

My research into the Elections Canada Rebate uncovered several inconvenient and deeply problematic truths about how the Conservative Party fights elections:

1. They make almost no attempt to win almost 70% of the seats in Quebec
2. Over 70 seats across Canada are uncontested by the Conservative Party
3. Of the 50 CPC candidates who spent less than $25,000 during Election 2019, only one candidate emerged victorious (and that riding could run a dead dog as its candidate and still win)

BC’s Bill 4, Firearm Violence Prevention Act Makes Illegal Guns ‘Even More Illegal’

Mike Farnworth, Minister of Public Safety and Solicitor General, claims Bill 4, the Firearm Violence Prevention Act, will miraculously stop criminals who routinely ignore the Criminal Code of Canada.

I think he’s drunk too much of his own KoolAid.

Minister Blair: Are you Ignorant? Or do you actually believe the lies you peddle in Parliament?

How many lies can Public Safety Minister Bill Blair spin in under 60 seconds?

How fast can Shannon Stubbs, CPC critic for Public Safety, slap them down? 

Watch this short video and find out. 

David Lametti Drops Mandatory Minimums for Serious Firearm Offences

Justice Minister David Lametti’s performance during last Thursday’s press conference for Bill C-22 rivalled Justin Trudeau’s or even William Shatner’s for overacting. 

“We’re turning the page on a FAILED [overemphasised for dramatic effect] Conservative criminal justice policy.”

“It was an approach that did NOT [overemphasised for dramatic effect] make our communities safer.”  

“It did NOT [overemphasised for dramatic effect] deter criminals.”  

“It did NOT [overemphasised for dramatic effect] make the justice system system more effective or more fair.”  

Bill Blair Enrages Liberals’ Most Ardent Supporters with C-21

It was fascinating to watch Bill Blair get roasted for ‘betraying’ a host of lobby groups who want the government to confiscate my legally-acquired and legally-owned firearms.

Those same lobby groups refuse to support Firearm Prohibition Order Reform to keep illegal guns out of the hands of convicted violent criminals.

Their position is a little bizarre, to be honest.

I don’t fear licensed firearm owners one bit but I am, at the very least, apprehensive about violent repeat offenders with illegal guns in their hands.

Smuggled Guns: Was Defeating Bill C-238 the right choice?

Bill C-238 was the legal equivalent of placing a dirty Band-Aid on an infected cut, then pretending the pus oozing from the wound is not an issue.

Why play with Band-Aids when there is a seriously infected cut to clean and disinfect?  Great question.

Who is Erin O’Toole? Someone I can’t vote for, says guest columnist Robert Alexander

On Monday, February 8th, CPC National Campaign Manager Fred DeLorey sent an email asking the question, “Who is Erin O’Toole?” 

Robert Alexander answers Mr. DeLorey’s question in today’s guest commentary.

Joe Biden: America’s Gun Salesman of the Month for January 2021

Democrat American presidents are great gun salesmen. Newly sworn in Joe Biden is no exception according to data released by the FBI.

In January 2021, over 4.3 million background checks were initiated by the FBI’s National Instant Criminal Background Check (NCIS) system, the highest total ever, making Joe Biden America’s ‘Gun Salesman of the Month’ for January 2021.

Erin O’Toole’s Public Perception Problem

Erin O’Toole cannot win if he stays on his current path. That’s obvious to everyone, apparently, but Erin O’Toole and the Conservative Party.

The question before us today is really quite simple.

Will the numbers released by Angus Reid today open O’Toole’s eyes or will they cause him to double-down on his failed strategy?

The future of Canada will be determined by the Erin O’Toole’s answer to that simple question.

Parliament Talks Smuggled Guns and Mandatory Minimums

Parliament resumed this morning and MPs from across the country were chomping at the bit to make their first speeches on Bill C-238 in the House of Commons.

Here are some of the highlights and lowlights via the Hansard for Monday, January 25, 2021.

Erin O’Toole: Your Hypocrisy is Showing

“Erin O’Toole is outraged that anyone would accept donations from this individual and will be looking into the matter,” cried Cory Hann, the Party’s communications director.

Mr. O’Toole’s outrage aside, it seems pretty clear the new leader of the Conservative Party leader leaked the information and then pounced on the ‘opportunity’ to ‘cleanse the Party’ prior to its upcoming policy convention.

Did Navdeep Bains Quit or did Justin Trudeau Force Him Out?

On January 11, 2020, Navdeep Bains – the former Minister of Innovation, Science and Industry – resigned his cabinet post. Bains also announced he would not run in the widely anticipated spring pandemic election.

With no election officially in sight and a Liberal Party actively seeking candidates to run in the next campaign, why would Bains bow out?

My guess is Navdeep Bains was forced out by the Prime Minister so Bains’ growing legal challenges can’t tarnish the Trudeau brand.

15 Signs of an Abusive Relationship: Government Edition

If your government tells you not to see your friends and family, you’re in an abusive relationship with your government.

If your government says you cannot attend worship services at your local church, mosque or synagogue, you’re in an abusive relationship with your government.

Government Power Always Comes From the Barrel of a Gun

Mayor Naheed Nenshi is the “authority figure” in the Migram Experiment I mentioned above and these two Calgary Police Service constables are its “ordinary people”.

Their blind obedience to the State means they will do what Nenshi orders them to do “even to the extent of killing an innocent human being.”

Are Your Ready for a Pandemic Spring Election?

I’ve said for a while that Justin Trudeau wants a spring election. A Friday afternoon funding announcement is one more indicator that The Shiny Pony does indeed intend to send Canadians to the polls for a pandemic election. How he will engineer the fall of his own government remains to be seen.
