Democracy is doomed globally but that’s an issue for another day. Today I’m only concerned with waking my fellow mere citizens in the Great White North from their slumber. “I’m from the Government and I’m here to help.” Those nine words doom Canadians because whenever government decides to "help us" the loss of individual freedom and prosperity is never far … [Read more...]
National Letter Writing Day
Some enterprising individual made December 7th Letter Writing Day to help combat the loss of letter writing skills due to the rise of texting, social media and the horde of instant messaging apps. Writing a letter can take so many forms, but because I'm a political commentator I'll use this unofficial day primarily to encourage you to write to the politician of your choice, … [Read more...]

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. On December 3rd, 2020, that pattern continued when the Trudeau government tabled Bill C-15, An Act respecting the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, into the House … [Read more...]

On November 30th, 2020, Judge Allan A. Fradsham dismissed the Attorney General's attempt to have nine Section 74 reference hearings tossed out of court. On November 30th, 2020, Judge Allan A. Fradsham became Canadian firearm owners' best friend, for not only did he dismiss the Attorney General's motions, he did so in a way that appears bulletproof to appeal. The Short … [Read more...]
Justin Trudeau: All I want for Christmas is a Pandemic Election
December 2, 2020, 16:00 hrs | Updated final analysis at the bottom of the page.

Is Widespread Election Fraud Coming to Canada?
Will the next Canadian federal election be marred by widespread electoral fraud? Some would contend election fraud arrived ages ago, albeit not in any organized fashion. But are those people correct? The answer, sadly, is both "Yes" and "No". Elections Canada says it identified over 85,000 names on the federal voter list who were not citizens prior to the 2019 federal … [Read more...]
Toronto Gun Smuggler Ayub Y. Guled Nabbed in New York
I heartily congratulate the New York State Police for doing what Public Safety Minister Bill Blair refuses to do - arrest gun smugglers and put them in prison. On October 17, 2020, New York State Police pulled over a vehicle for a routine traffic stop on Route 37 in Oswegatchie, NY. Ayub Y. Guled, a Canadian from Toronto, was arrested for illegal possession of firearms … [Read more...]
21-Year-Old Murdered Over Social Distancing Dispute
On Sunday, October 25, 2020, Jakub Sudomericky was callously murdered over six feet of floor tile. COVID insanity and fear, fueled by a months-long 24x7 media blitz, has reduced us to such a state of purpetual fear we're willing to kill someone for violating social distancing rules. This is the all-too-predictable outcome of a national policy of fear, distrust and … [Read more...]
Andrew Scheer Shoots Himself in the Face… Again
Hot on the heels of the Yasmin Ratansi scandal where the now-former Liberal MP hired her sister and lied about it, we learn Andrew Scheer stole a page from the Liberal Entitlement Handbook and took it to heart.

On November 6, 2020, gang thugs in one vehicle fired over 30 bullets from their illegally-possessed guns into another vehicle on Jane Street near Strong Court.

Yasmin Ratansi: Just Another Ethically-Challenged Liberal MP
What is it with Liberal Members of Parliament? Do they honestly believe the rules don't apply to them? That's the question at the top of my mind after news broke that Yasmin Ratansi, Member of Parliament for Don Valley East, hired her sister, Zeenat Khatri, and lied about it. CBC reports Yasmin Ratansi employed her sister from 2005 to 2011 when Ratansi lost her seat in … [Read more...]

Time to Incarcerate Trump Supporters?
Last Friday afternoon the media declared Joe Biden President-Elect of the United States of America despite the fact not a single official source has reached this conclusion.

Despite Trump proving every one of … [Read more...]

On July 27, 2019, Menhaz Zaman brutally slaughtered his sister, mother, father and grandmother by bashing their heads in with a crowbar before slashing their throats with a knife.

Zaman lied to his family … [Read more...]
Justin Trudeau: I Will Always Defend Approved Speech
Section 2 (b) of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms is clear. Canadians have the right to freedom of thought, belief, opinion and expression. The lesser son of the man who brought Canada the Charter of Rights and Freedoms is, sadly but predictably, utterly incapable of defending this bedrock principle of the Canadian Constitution. Trudeau's pathetic mewling started after … [Read more...]

Five Ways to Celebrate Common Sense Day
Common Sense: sound and prudent judgment based on a simple perception of the situation or facts.
