In Praise of Individual Rights and Freedoms

Political Antics

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.

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. 

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.

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.

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.

Trudeau’s Virtue-Signaling Vaccine Giveaway

I literally laughed out loud when this headline scrolled through my Twitter feed:

“Canada will donate excess COVID-19 vaccine to poorer countries”

What excess?

Virtue Signalling vs Action: Another Liberal Failure, Another National Disgrace

If Justin Trudeau is faced with a choice between solving a problem or talking about solving the problem, Justin Trudeau will opt for useless chatter and virtue-signalling every time.

Justin Trudeau: All I want for Christmas is a Pandemic Election

Justin Trudeau will use his government’s December 1st fiscal update to force opposition parties to either lick his boots or send Canadians to the polls.

This comes with some sharp unknowns for all sides, but the chips appear to be stacked in favour of the Sock-Puppet-in-Chief.

Time to Incarcerate Trump Supporters?

One anonymous Twitter coward – “Climate Warrior” – says the Trump Accountability Project wants to build a list of Trump supporters so, once they change the law to make political disagreement a felony, they can arrest, detain and punish Trump supporters wherever they are found.

This should terrify any thinking person, both inside and outside of the United States of America, no matter your political ideology.

Haldimand—Norfolk Nomination: Another Unforced Error by the Conservative Party of Canada?

We’re half-way through October, and two unforced errors by the Conservative Party brass are already driving loyal Party members out the door.
1. James Dodds’ decision to break Erin O’Toole’s campaign promise to pay back money clawed back after the 2019 federal election
2. The Party’s decision to prevent anyone from challenging Dr. Leslyn Lewis for the nomination in Haldimand—Norfolk
Both decisions are profoundly stupid and short-sighted.

Will BC Premier John Horgan Call an Early Election?

Is John Horgan a man of his word?

Will he honour his signed commitment to all British Columbians?

The answer to both questions may ultimately be “No” but that answer likely won’t matter to the majority of voters if Horgan does call a snap election this fall, as is widely speculated.

I think New Brunswick’s provincial election results dangle a carrot in front of John Horgan that’s simply too enticing for him to resist.

Liberal Hypocrisy: Why Derek Sloan’s removal is NOT the issue

“Erin O’Toole needs to show leadership by removing Conservative MP Derek Sloan from his caucus, and refusing to sign his nomination papers as a Conservative candidate.”

The howls of indignation heard across social media are entirely predictable, and they’re also entirely irrelevant.

The Liberal Party’s call for Derek Sloan’s removal from the Conservative caucus have nothing to do with Derek Sloan and everything to do with framing Erin O’Toole in the minds of left-leaning voters.

CPC HQ’s Idiotic Love Affair with ‘Gotcha’ Politics

“I would say amen to raising taxes…”

After five years of Chrystia Freeland holding public office, this line from 2011 is the best the Conservative Party’s opposition research team can come up with?

That’s pathetic.

Did Trudeau’s Virtue-Signalling Just Ban Your 12-Gauge Shotgun?

If a legal opinion on the Liberal government’s 20mm maximum bore diameter is interpreted the same way as the RCMP’s Canadian Firearms Lab has ruled in every other case involving removable chokes, the answer is unequivocally yes.

Is Dr. Theresa Tam Incompetent or In Over Her Head?

Dr. Tam’s failure to take decisive action early on, the very thing she insisted was critical in 2006 and again in 2010, arguably led to the situation we’re in today.

Liberal Karen Ludwig distorts facts to play the victim card

New Brunswick’s Jeff Young is an outspoken advocate for our firearms community. He’s also been working day and night since June 26, 2018, to ensure Liberal MP Karen Ludwig’s defeat in October.

Ms. Ludwig (New Brunswick Southwest) is well aware of Jeff Young’s opinion of her, and his commitment to defeat her. She is rightly terrified his efforts will be successful.

Why? Because he is tenacious, determined and relentless.

So when Jeff added a comment specifically aimed at Ms. Ludwig to his post about T.J Harvey’s “pensionability” last year, she cropped his original post to make herself look like the “victim.”

Catherine McKenna Pleads for Twitter Safe Space

Environment Minister Catherine McKenna isn’t cut out for politics.  Like her Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, Catherine McKenna wants only safe spaces and Liberal echo chambers. She most certainly doesn’t want to hear from mere citizens who disagree with her. For…

Liberal Gift – A Giant Rubber Duck for Canada’s 150th Birthday

Ontario’s Minister of Tourism, Culture and Sport, Eleanor McMahon, epitomizes Liberal stupidity and waste of taxpayer dollars. Eleanor McMahon signed off on grants to pay for the majority of the $200,000 cost to bring the giant rubber duck to the…

Workplace Violence is Okay… if you’re Justin Trudeau

For a Liberal the accepted mantra is that workplace violence is bad…. It’s unacceptable. Except when it’s Liberal Prime Minister Justin Trudeau committing that workplace violence.  Then the good sheep otherwise known as Liberal Party Members of Parliament applaud that…

Nelson, Georgia, sued by the Perennial Gun-Haters at the Brady Center

On April 3, 2013 I wrote an article titled Why Government Despises Liberty… Thoughts on Bastiat’s classic “The Law” in which I discussed the principles Frederik Bastiat wrote about at length. I started off here: “Life, liberty, and property do…

Ontario Crown comes to its senses? Crown doesn’t appeal, Ian Thomson gets guns back

On February 8th, 2013 it was reported on Lilley’s Pad, Sun TV commentator Brian Lilley’s website, that Ian Thomson got his firearms back from the Ontario Provincial Police.  That’s good news, as it means the Ontario Attorney General’s office has…

Obama bathes in the blood of victims, gun owners fight back against “gun control” executive orders

President Barack Obama will do what every “gun control” advocate does when attempting to advanced more Liberty-crushing leftist ideology: he will bathe in the blood of the victims.  Worse, he will cower behind a human shield of children while he…

Allen West’s Battle For True Election Results Continues

Colonel Allen West has fought for America his whole life.  His credentials are, in my mind, impeccable, and he has proven he will do whatever it takes to protect America and its citizens. Why should he stop now when the…

“Premier Dad” quits suddenly… Good News or the first step to very bad news?

“Premier Dad”, aka Dalton McGuinty, quit his post as Premier of Ontario suddenly and without warning.  While it may be good news for Ontario that the big government Liberal will be gone soon, it may be very bad news for…

The US Government believes you’re a right-wing terrorist if…

  The US Government believes you’re a right-wing terrorist if… you have a brain and aren’t afraid to use it. The US Government routinely demeans, denigrates, ridicules, detests and prosecutes individuals for the “thought crime” of believing what the Constitution…

Since the RCMP won’t delete the long gun registry data like the law says, the CSSA wants to make the database completely useless

The Canadian Shooting Sports Association (CSSA) is not impressed with the RCMP’s refusal to obey the law and delete long gun records from Canada’s useless gun registry. With the passage of Bill C-19 and its Royal Assent on April 5,…

BC’s new Animal Health Act (Bill 37) is quietly withdrawn due to outcry over prison terms for making fish farm diseases public

There is an old saying that probably began with Freedom of the Press and Freedom of Speech movement in the United States around 1750… “The public has a right to know.” That saying is based on the idea that it…
