Bill C-60 — citizen’s arrest and defences of property and persons
Prime Minister Stephen Harper was in Toronto Thursday to announce the introduction of a government bill, C-60, that would, in theory, prevent honest citizens like Toronto store owner David Chen from being abused by our legal system. Officially the title…
Conservative Govt to introduce citizen’s arrest legislation?
The Globe and Mail reported that the Harper government was getting ready to introduce legislation making it easier for citizens to make arrests. This comes in the wake of Toronto shopkeeper David Chen’s horrific experience at the hands of the…
BC Politics — Corruption as usual
There’s one thing you can always count on in BC Politics: It’s never about what’s best for the province or the people, but about what’s best for the people wanting power over both of them. In the wake of the…
Alberta’s Danielle Smith sends Stelmach running for Retirement
It was a funny story to read in Saturday’s Edmonton Journal… “Wildrose tail wags the dog as federal, provincial Tories quietly meet”. Funny, because the provincial branch hasn’t seemed to have much use for the federal one, given how Ottawa…
Liberal MP Ruby Dhalla has some serious trouble brewing
Liberal MP Ruby Dhalla (Brampton—Springdale) has some serious trouble brewing in her riding, and is falling from Liberal grace fast. I can’t say I’m sad to hear it, since I don’t think she’s that bright. Ruby Dhalla started off as…
I spell hypocrite this way: I-G-N-A-T-I-E-F-F
It’s truly mind-blowing how arrogant and hypocritical Liberal Leader Michael Igiatieff is. I mean really… he spouts off about how fantastic Canada’s “gun control” system is, all the while hiding behind his armed bodyguards. How do you know Michael Ignatieff…
Is Ignatieff really that out of touch with Dallaire’s [in]actions in Rwanda?
It would seem that Liberal Leader Michael Ignatieff is totally out of touch with the reality of what happened in Rwanda under the watch of Canadian General Romeo Dallaire. In a recent Twitter post, Ignatieff praised Dallaire for his defense…
Terrorism Law Is A War On Internet
(“War on Internet” is from Jane Gaffin’s archives, published in the Whitehorse Star, February 25, 2002, and is posted here in conjunction with the current “Big Brother is Eyeing Complete Take-Over of the Internet”.) In keeping with the Red Book…
Don Cherry Riles Toronto’s Left-Wing Loonies
How? By doing what Cherry does best. Telling the truth. Hockey legend and outspoken supporter of our Canadian Troops, Cherry wore a pink blazer to the event in honour of some loser who called him “a jerk in a pink…
Congratulations to Mayor Rob Ford
First, congratulations to Toronto’s new Mayor, Rob Ford. Yesterday the mainstream media got handed it’s head on a platter. For weeks it’s been calling the Toronto mayor’s race as a dead heat. The only thing that’s dead, however, is their…
Liberal MP Shawn Murphy – Let’s Ban Blogging!
There’s nothing a Liberal, small-l or large, hates more than something they cannot control. Their answer is always the same. Let’s ban it. Let’s pass a law against it. ANYTHING, just so long as we STOP people from doing whatever…
NDP MPs Under Fire
While NDP party leader Jack Layton does the right thing (allowing a free vote on Candice Hoeppner’s private member’s Bill C-391), Liberal party leader Michael Ignatieff declares war on two NDP MPs. Niki Ashton (Churchill) and Malcolm Allen (Welland) are…
CBC Helps Ignatieff Prove How Out Of Touch He is
In an article titled “Ignatieff on the Mounties, one-on-one”, CBC reporter Alison Crawford asked Liberal Leader Michael Ignatieff what he thinks about the RCMP. His answer? When I look at the Mounties in the squad cars providing protection in communities…
Larry Bagnell: Another Spineless Liberal MP
Yukon’s Liberal MP Larry Bagnell is feeling stuck between a rock and a hard place. His rural riding is filled with hunters, miners, prospectors and outdoors people. When asked if he would avoid the House instead of voting against his…
Wayne Easter: Your Rep to Ottawa? Or Ottawa’s Rep to You?
Liberal MP Wayne Easter’s website begins with promise. “I am committed to bringing your voice to Ottawa, by ensuring your concerns are heard and working with you to create opportunities for growth in our province.” He forgot to add the…
Glenn Thibeault flip-flops on C-391
Sudbury MP Glenn Thibeault has now flip-flopped his vote on Canada’s failed gun registry. Thibeault had previously voted to scrap the registry, citing the majority of his constituents wanted him to get rid of the costly failure. In a press…
Jack Layton Showing Integrity???
Anyone who knows me knows I’m no fan of Jack Layton’s. I think he’s an opportunistic man who will do almost anything to get in front of a TV camera. So his stand on “allowing” a free vote on Bill…
Jack Layton “under fire”
Jack Layton is under a lot of heat to get his members of parliament in line with party policy. Unfortunately for Jack, those rural riding members want to actually get re-elected. Most won their seats by less than 2,000 votes,…
It’s about People Control, not Gun Control…
I can’t say it any better than Garry Breitkreuz already did, so here’s his editorial… The registry isn’t about reducing crime. It’s about public control. The media war over the hotly contested long-gun registry is in full swing, and it…
“Don’t Blame ME!” cries Jack Layton
Recently there are a lot of news reports focusing on NDP leader Jack Layton and his position on Candice Hoeppner’s Bill C-391 to scrap Canada’s long gun registry. Jack’s primary concern is that Canadians not blame him or his party…
First Deadline for Hoeppner’s Bill C-391
September 22, 2010. That’s the date Parliament will vote on Liberal MP Mark Holland’s motion that the Public Safety Committee “does not proceed further with Bill C-391”. That is also the deadline for talking to your MP and demanding they…
Preview of Canada’s Next Steps in Gun Control
Australia spent hundreds of millions of dollars to buy back firearms in the mid-90’s. Like all do-gooder projects, the government felt this would keep guns out of the hands of criminals. Like all do-gooder legislation that’s not been properly thought…
If only there was ONE MORE LAW!!!
Apparently nobody told the current government that shooting up the streets as you’re driving around on a Saturday night was illegal. Or that the crime of murder already had tons of laws on the books against it. And that they…
Council of Guysborough, NS — SHUT UP!
Greg Vandermeulen’s August 1st diatribe “Municipal support for MP’s bill is wrong” is, well, wrong. Greg is all upset because the good folks on Guysborough passed a resolution demanding their MP support Candice Hoeppner’s Private Members Bill C-391 when it…
Chicago’s Moronic Mayor Daley
Now here is a a guy that just plain doesn’t get it. Chicago is one of the major US cities that has banned handguns from honest citizens because thugs and gang members control entire sections of the city through violence…
Census Long Form and Handwringing Bureaucrats
The Canadian Census gets more and more intrusive every year. The so-called “Short Form” is certainly not short, and the “Long Form” only gets longer. That’s not surprising, if one examines it from the bureaucrats’ point of view: job security….
More anti-gun stupidity from Across the Pond
Britain is nothing if not ban-happy. It wasn’t enough to ban guns after the Dunblane Massacre back in 1989. They’re now going after starter pistols. Why? Because some criminals used them recently in some holdups. Granted, the thugs had converted…
