A small reminder of why our soldiers fought and died for our freedom
Some days I’m very serious about respecting the sacrifices the men and women of our Armed Forces have made over the decades and centuries to protect our Rights and Freedoms. It’s a sacrifice I believe every one of us should…
Truth: The Most Deadly Weapon
Truth is a funny thing. In today’s world, truth has become relative, not a certainty as it was in times past. Today, truth is whatever those in Power say it is, and when someone is able to prove them wrong,…
The Spirit of Christmas… Is it really dead?
Christmas Day normally evokes images of children shrieking in delight under a tree overflowing with presents, a dinner table overflowing with turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing and tons and tons of gravy. Normally. Unfortunately, this year like every year, some people…
Merry Christmas to Canada’s Troops!
Merry Christmas to all our men and women in uniform, wherever you may be today. Just for fun, here is a video of a so-called “flash mob” singing Christmas Carols in a Californa shopping mall, much to the delight…
Officer Arnulfo Crispin: This Christmas try a little gratitude, and say a few prayers for those so much less fortunate than yourself
Gratitude: the state of being grateful. Grateful: appreciative of benefits received. Christmas is a time of year, not for seeing how many presents you can get from those around you, but to be grateful for what you have, even if…
Maurice Corriveau: Gun Owner Licensing and Firearm Registration System a proven failure. Again.
A case coming out of Noelville, Ontario, is once again proving the utter uselessness of Canada’s entire “gun control” system. On March 18, 2011 Maurice Corriveau was arrested and charged with three counts of unauthorized possession of a firearm after…
We won’t track violent career criminals like Joseph Endelle Chan, but we’ll harass law-abiding Canadian gun owners?
The law is an ass is the famous statement, although I can’t remember who by at the moment. This truly is the case when it comes to Canada’s laws on firearms and the stupid 2-billion dollar “gun control” scheme that…
Deputy Marshal Stephen Brady is lucky to be alive
Waterloo, Indiana Deputy Marshal Stephen Brady, 47, is a very lucky man this Christmas. For doing what police officers do on a rainy and miserable night, helping broken-down motorists, Deputy Marshal Brady was shot in the face and left for…
Bob Rae’s Hypocrisy (and the Liberal Party’s along with it) knows no bounds
Watching the ongoing furor over the living conditions on the Attawapiskat reserve provides some amazing educational moments, if one is paying attention. If you listen only to the mainstream media, you would think the manufactured crisis on Attawapiskat just happened….
Egyptian Forces no strangers to brutally abusing women
There has been a lot of uproar over the video footage of armed Egyptian Army thugs brutally beating an Egyptian woman in Tahrir Square in downtown Cairo, and for good reason. The heinous actions were caught in a video (below)…
Tom MacLachlan: Bureaucrat’s Rule #1 sucks, doesn’t it?
Tom MacLachlan was just doing what I’ve personally done numerous times… he was dropping coins into parking meters to prevent a couple of total strangers from getting a parking ticket. I must admit, there is an odd pleasure that comes…
Individual Rights: What’s the big deal?
I am in the middle of an email conversation with a colleague who professes to believe in the Individual Rights and Freedoms of all Canadians. I say “professes”, because this individual seems unable to grasp the concept of Individual Rights…
Ron Paul at the Iowa Debates for the Republican Leadership Nomination
While Jane and I can sometimes get into debates over various issues and individuals, for the most part we see the world quite similarly… I suppose that’s why I call her my “unindicted co-conspirator” when it comes to writing. A…
Why are Canadians so terrified of Freedom of Speech?
Freedom of Speech vs “Approved Speech”. This is at the heart of the ongoing push to remove Section 13 from the Canadian Human Rights Act. In 2009 the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal ruled that although Lemire had violated Section 13…
Rod Blagojevich: When found guilty of corruption, suddenly he’s all apologetic
Rod Blagojevich, the former Illinois Governor who tried selling off Obama’s senate seat among many other things, was found guilty on 18 counts of corruption and sentenced to 14 years in federal prison. He’d claimed he was innocent for years,…
Why does this event in Saanich, BC even make the news?
We have a very complex set of laws in Canada, like most countries. We have more laws on the books than there are people to arrest for them, some would say. But there are a couple of basic legal premises…
Candice Hoeppner calls the head of Police Chief’s union a liar
It’s a beautiful sight to behold and caught on video for all time… the mouthpiece for the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police (CACP), Mario Harel, blathered on about how there were now over 17,000 queries to the gun registry…
Update: When cops can’t be bothered to do the jobs they’re paid to do…
On Thursday, in an article titled “When cops can’t be bothered to do the jobs they’re paid to do, they ask for civilian volunteers?“, I wrote about how Fredericton Police Chief Barry MacKnight wanted civilians volunteers to set up and…
The Office of Religious Freedom? Do we really need another cadre of bureaucrats to tell us what the Charter of Rights and Freedoms Section 2 says?
I must admit I was horrified when I heard the name “Office of Religious Freedom.” The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms clearly says the following: 2. Everyone has the following fundamental freedoms: (a) freedom of conscience and religion; (b)…
When cops can’t be bothered to do the jobs they’re paid to do, they ask for civilian volunteers?
What does the Fredericton Police Force do when it can’t be bothered to do the job the citizens of Fredericton PAY them to do? The go have coffee and ask for civilian volunteers to do the job for them. Okay,…
This decision was moronic even by TSA standards…
The US Transportation and Safety Administration (TSA) is hardly the most intelligent bunch in the world. The TSA is made up of thugs empowered by the Patriot Act to use, abuse, sexually molest and otherwise harass travelers who are silly…
Gamil Gharbi Day: a memorial to a lunatic and Canada’s dedication to punishing the people who did NOT commit the crime
Believe it or not, we Canadians, both politicians and gun owners, can oppose bad law and still honour the 14 murdered women whose names lead off this article.
You want to save women’s lives? Stop shoveling $100 million a year down the toilet and spend that money on educating people instead.
Or how about using some of that money for tracking violent offenders, rapists and child molesters?
Adam Vaughan: Ontario Gun Owners and Gun Clubs – Know Thine Enemy
As many Canadians may not know, in 2008 the Toronto City Council passed a bylaw banning shooting ranges on city property as well as businesses that manufacture firearms from operating within the city limits. Shooting ranges operated by governments are…
Poking fun at the NDP “elite”, who clearly know nothing about guns or gun laws
The NDP is trying to make a name for themselves by protecting that most sacred of Sacred Cows in Canadian Politics, the gun registry. It’s failed on every front imaginable, yet even NDP leadership candidate Nathan Cullen, who voted FOR…
Bromont Police Officer Vincent Roy killed by passing vehicle
They say the two most dangerous activities for a cop are traffic stops and domestic dispute calls. The latter makes sense because cops are walking into a volatile and unknown situation. Handing someone a traffic ticket shouldn’t get you killed,…
Corrections Officer Buddy R. Herron murdered for lending a helping hand
Late in the evening on November 28, 2011 Buddy Herron stopped to help what he thought was a stranded motorist with a broken-down vehicle. It was the last act of good will of his life. Shortly after stopping to help…
Heidi Rathjen: gov’t “will have blood on their hands”
When all else fails, Heidi Rathjen and her fellow anti-gun zealots always resort to one final cry: You will have blood on your hands!!! It’s as predictable as rain in Vancouver, drought in the desert and snow in Alps in…
