In Praise of Individual Rights and Freedoms

Month: January 2012

Canada’s useless “Gun Control” system fails again, almost gets cop killed

The many failures of Canada’s “gun control” scheme are well known to anyone willing to actually look at the facts.  For those unwilling to do so, however, no amount of proof that the system doesn’t work will ever be enough….

Sustainability and a Free Society Are Not Compatible

A conservative-minded individual passes through several distinct stages before he is enveloped by the Marxist-Leninist ideology. First, he rants that the philosophy is damnable, dangerous, disorderly, counter-opposed to law and the Christian faith and is a scourge to a “free…

Preserving Rights and Freedoms Against Marxist Attacks

Freedom is the easiest thing to give away and the hardest thing to get back. Even shakier for Canadians is that personal rights have never been carved into a constitution like the rights of the American cousins, who are embroiled…

Alberta Sheriff Thomas Bounds: Taking Insensitivity to an All-New Low

Thomas Bounds is a sheriff with the Alberta Sheriff’s Service.  He requires, at a bare minimum, a severe reprimand and retraining to learn how to act like a human being, since he clearly has no clue at the moment.  For…

Freedom to Read What You Like? Not In Canada…

If you’re a Canadian, do you believe you have the right to read whatever you like? If you do, you’re not alone, even though you are sadly and grossly mistaken. Canada, believe it or not, has a long and sordid…

Fredericton, NB Blogger Charles LeBlanc gains media and political support

Randy McKeen is a radio show host on “Fredericton’s Country Station”, KHJ Radio.  The other day on his segment, The Bottom Line with Randy McKeen, the radio personality came to the support of blogger Charles LeBlanc and politely ridiculed police…

What to do if the RCMP Calls You on the Phone About Your Firearms License

It has come to my attention that the RCMP may or may not be phoning people who have firearms licenses expiring within the next 12 months.  I’ve heard of at least one individual who says they have been contacted on…

Newsflash PETA: Human Beings are more important than animals. Deal with it.

PETA, or People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, is a group of animal-loving yahoos who believe that animals are more important than people.  They recently announced yet another attention-grabbing publicity stunt that proves just how ludicrous these people are….

Charles LeBlanc: Crackpot blogger or Concerned Citizen being harassed by police?

On the surface, it doesn’t look like much.  Just some guy on welfare getting busted by police.  He obviously had it coming for some reason, right?  Nothing to see here, police say, now move along. Hang on a second.

When the whims of murderers are more important than honouring their victims

The Canadian justice system leaves a lot to be desired, even on its best days.  On its worst days, it is a repulsive indictment of our apparent love for a violent serial rapist and murderer and our blatant abhorrence for…

DEA Agent Lee Paige loses case centering around his shooting himself during a gun safety demonstration

Lee Paige, the DEA’s poster-boy for how NOT to handle a firearm, is apparently still a Drug Enfrocement Agency (DEA) special agent stationed in Orlando, Florida, according to a report found online. You may recall the 2004 video of DEA…

NDP’s François Pilon the latest nutbar to buy into Gun Registry Lies and Deceit

It’s really not surprising to find more NDP hacks coming out of the woodwork crowing how the country will collapse into anarchy of the error-riddled gun registry is killed, as Conservatives plan. Clearly looking for some easy and free publicity,…

The Man Who Would Be “Rapist” shot 9 times by his would-be victim

This is a story that ends the way it should, with the would-be rapist filled with lead, his would-be victim standing over him, smoking gun in hand. Sadly, (NOT!) the attempted rapist died later at hospital. While the story happened…

Dead People receive ballots to vote in the New Hampshire Primaries?

As bizarre as it sounds, dead people are able to vote in the primaries due to lax rules and no identification requirement. Voter fraud is an ongoing issue in America, to be sure. Helping the problem along are state rules…

Sun TV’s Brian Lilley comprehends the issue, why can’t Public Safety Minister Vic Toews?

As most in the know in gun circles has been aware of for some time, the RCMP is demanding that owners of a specific .22 calibre rifle, the Armi Jager AP-80, turn in their rifles for destruction without compensation. This rifle…

Merritt Staff Sergeant Stuart Seib: Reason #9 to Dump the BC RCMP

Merritt, British Columbia, has the distinction of being the latest RCMP detachment run by an [alleged] criminal and also, it would appear, cocaine addict. Staff Sergeant Stuart Seib was arrested on Tuesday and charged with stealing cocaine from the RCMP…

It’s hard to believe JPFO’s Aaron Zelman has been gone a year already!

It’s hard to believe that a year has passed since the death of Aaron Zelman, the founder of Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership (JPFO).  It feels like the shock of that news was only delivered yesterday for me,…

Sarah Dawn McKinley: home invasion suspect is released on bail and other stupid things

As you probably recall, the other day I wrote about Sarah Dawn McKinley, the young widow whose husband died on Christmas day, and then on the day she buried him, two morons tried breaking into her home to attack her…

Anti-gun Joyce Foundation doles out $15 million

When the Joyce Foundation, a rabidly anti-gun organization, announced their winners of the Summer 2010 grants… given that Chicago is the current battle-ground for the Second Amendment’s right to keep and bear arms, the following statement from the press release…

British Columbia not the only place killer cops are kept on the payroll. Florida does too.

I’ve written extensively about cases where RCMP members stationed in British Columbia have murdered citizens and gotten away with it.  It’s happened enough times now that most people recognize there is a very serious issue with accountability within the RCMP,…

Christy Clark’s Overblown Sense of Entitlement

BC’s unelected Premier, Christy Clark, has really only done one thing since she began her run for the leadership of the BC Liberal Party: campaign. She hasn’t stopped.  She’s transformed the Premier’s Office website into a grand spectacle promoting, not…

Her husband died on Christmas Day and she had to kill a home invader on New Years Eve

Some days criminals just don’t leave you any choice.  New Year’s Eve was precisely one of those days for Sarah Dawn McKinley of Blanchard, Oklahoma, south of Oklahoma City. Sarah’s husband died from cancer on Christmas Day, just months after…

RCMP Commissioner Bob Paulson gives me hope for the RCMP

Yeah, it was an odd title for me to write, so don’t feel strange if it feels weird to read it!  Over the past many years there has been very little to give any of us hope when it comes…

The Coolest .45 Caliber Pistol Ever!

Human ingenuity truly knows no bounds, and this news item certainly shows that. It’s a metal puzzle cube, 125 pieces in all if you can believe it, that when specific pieces from the cube are assembled properly forms a fully-functional…

Mount Rainier National Park Ranger Margaret Anderson gunned down

Normally I have little sympathy for the murderer when I’m writing about slain law enforcement personnel, but this time I think we as a society failed miserably at helping someone who sacrificed a lot on our collective behalf.

Starting the New Year off Right (with a little help from Ezra Levant)

One of the best things to happen to the Canadian media landscape last year was the introduction of the Sun News Network.  Finally there was a voice that was different from any other voice on Canadian television.  What a treat…
