Poorly-Written Laws Are Criminal by Jane Gaffin

Published July 7, 2012 by Jane Gaffin Filed Under: Abuse of Police Authority, Bureaucratic Incompetence, Constitutional Violations


"To maintain the ascendancy of the Constitution over the lawmaking majority is the great and essential point on which the success of (any nation’s) system must depend; unless that ascendancy can be preserved, the necessary consequence must be that the laws will supersede the Constitution; and, finally, the will of the Executive, by influence of its patronage, will supersede the … [Read more...]

Pro-Gun Groups praise Vic Toews for ending “back-door” registry, but did he really?

Published June 16, 2012 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Bureaucratic Incompetence, Canada's Firearms Act, Courts, Gun Politics, Gun Registration


After Bill C-19 passed and was proclaimed into law Canada’s so-called “Long Gun Registry” was officially dead.  Except that it wasn’t. The law said it was, but the RCMP is still dragging its heels when it comes to actually deleting the data contained in the registry database.   They claimed it will take months to work out the details of how to delete the data which is, to be … [Read more...]

Zero Tolerance = Zero Common Sense = Zero Justice

Published February 25, 2012 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Abuse of Police Authority, Big Brother, Bureaucratic Incompetence, Canada's Firearms Act, Charter of Rights and Freedoms Breaches, Common Sense


The case of Jessie Sansone and his ordeal at the hands of the Almighty State should sound the alarm bells deep inside every Canadian's brain. Three government agencies, all now abdicating responsibility for the fiasco, combined for a perfect storm of abuse upon Jessie Sansone, all because his 4-year-old daughter drew a picture of her dad holding a gun. NEWS FLASH! … [Read more...]

Public Safety Minister Vic Toews: Are you really as incompetent as your protestations make you appear?

Published February 19, 2012 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Big Brother, Bureaucratic Incompetence, Courts, Oppose Bill C-30, Political Antics


I couldn't help but laugh as I read reports that Public Safety Minister Vic Toews is suddenly shocked to learn what Bill C-30,the "Protecting Children from Internet Predators Act", actually contains. I find this odd, since I've listened to him defend Bill C-30 repeatedly and blather on endlessly about how police can never abuse their powers under this act; that he is … [Read more...]

The United Nations Needs Dismantling

Published February 18, 2012 by Jane Gaffin Filed Under: Big Brother, Bureaucratic Incompetence


The United Nations is not a secret organization. Everything said and done at the United Nations level is printed, published and online in the form of books, papers, documents and YouTube videos. The problem is that much is written in invisible ink and the reader must possess the uncanny ability to read between the lines; every word is couched in innocuous-sounding, … [Read more...]

Gun Owners Continue to Face Criminal Charges for a Law That Doesn’t Exist

Published February 15, 2012 by Jane Gaffin Filed Under: Big Brother, Bureaucratic Incompetence, Canada's Firearms Act, Charter of Rights and Freedoms Breaches, Constitutional Violations, Gun Politics, Guns, Property Rights, Rights


I am flipping tired of the unmitigated hubris that continues to spur Canada’s game-playing cops and court system in their indefatigable zeal to prosecute innocent gun owners with the same pesky, recycled sections of the Canadian Firearms Act. In order to demonize gun owners to the hilt, the Government of Canada saw its way clear, at the behest of the United Nations, to dump … [Read more...]

Truth: The Most Deadly Weapon

Published December 28, 2011 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Big Brother, Bureaucratic Incompetence, Guns


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, that someone usually disappears and is never heard from again. What prompted this little musing? I’m signed up for a list of Freedom-related quotes, and … [Read more...]

Tom MacLachlan: Bureaucrat’s Rule #1 sucks, doesn’t it?

Published December 17, 2011 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Bureaucratic Incompetence, Bureaucrat’s Rule #1


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 from knowing you’ve prevented someone from getting a parking ticket.  That feeling is enhanced, even more strangely, by the knowledge that the … [Read more...]

Update: When cops can’t be bothered to do the jobs they’re paid to do…

Published December 10, 2011 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Bureaucratic Incompetence


Fredericton Police Chief Barry MacKnight

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 operate speed traps for the Fredericton Police while they do other, unspecified tasks. Naturally, I didn’t think much of the idea, but I’m … [Read more...]

This decision was moronic even by TSA standards…

Published December 7, 2011 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Bureaucratic Incompetence


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 enough or desperate enough to want to fly. I’ve written before on some of the more asinine things the TSA has done, including the forced … [Read more...]

Just when I thought the Obama White House couldn’t get ANY stupider, they tax Christmas Trees

Published November 12, 2011 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Big Brother, Bureaucratic Incompetence


Yes, I know… it sounds totally moronic and absurd, doesn’t it?  And no, I’m NOT making this up!  I’m just not that imaginative! Barack Hussein Obama, clearly, is nothing if not moronic and absurd. To quote David Addington: The economy is barely growing and nine percent of the American people have no jobs.  Is a new tax on Christmas trees the best President Obama can … [Read more...]

When two Government Agencies can’t get their act together it’s always the law-abiding who pay the price

Published October 20, 2011 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Bureaucratic Incompetence


This is the classic example of the left hand not knowing what the right hand is doing with a law-abiding citizen being harassed and placed in handcuffs because of the total incompetence of one or more government bureaucrats. It's absurd, asinine, stupid, moronic... I could go on but you get the point. Some jackass bureaucrat at the Canadian Border Services Agency (CBSA) … [Read more...]

Hypocrisy Reigns Supreme at Ontario Human Rights Commission

Published October 17, 2011 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Bureaucratic Incompetence, Guns, Human Rights Tribunals


I've always believed the Ontario Human Rights Commission (OHRC) is nothing if not useless, stupid and unnecessary.  Today I add "hypocritical" to the list of adjectives used to describe this anti-freedom, anti-private property government thugocracy. Earlier in the year the OHRC was bored and started paging through the classified ads sections of Ontario newspapers, combing … [Read more...]

Trash Police March on Homes

Published October 12, 2011 by Izzy Woods Filed Under: Abuse of Police Authority, Abusive Prosecutions, Big Brother, Bureaucratic Incompetence, Common Sense, Guns


From our friends in the UK comes a tale of environmental woe: Robin Hood always feared the Sheriff of Nottingham, but always managed to get the better of him. Robin robbed the rich to give to the poor. The people of Nottingham, UK need Robin back soon because the local Sheriff’s department have found ways to rob the poor to give to the rich. In 2010, the Council of … [Read more...]

The War On Lemonade and the Girls Who Make it…

Published August 9, 2011 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Bureaucratic Incompetence, Guns, Lemonade Freedom, Politically Correct Madness


The war on lemonade stands is in full gear across America.  The summer tradition that has gone on freely for generations is now under fire from greedy bureaucrats intent on lining their pockets... okay, not their own pockets... just that of their bureaucracies. God forbid some kids should sell lemonade without spending a few hundred dollars on permission slips, or as they … [Read more...]

Blastogram: Statistics Canada is Revenue Canada’s Watchdog

Published July 20, 2011 by Jane Gaffin Filed Under: Abuse of Police Authority, Big Brother, Bureaucratic Incompetence, Police, Privacy Rights, Rights


I am blessed to live in a quiet sanctum and neighbourhood that are agreeable to going about my writing and research undisturbed. One afternoon I nearly jumped out of my clothes when that serenity was suddenly shattered by an enormous pounding reminiscent of a doorbusting riot squad. I always expected when the Nazi SS came for me it would be a 5 o’clock morning surprise, not … [Read more...]

Freedom of Speech means the freedom to criticize government without fear of being sued

Published July 9, 2011 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Abusive Prosecutions, Bureaucratic Incompetence, Freedom of Speech, Union Bay Improvement District


Freedom of Speech means the freedom to criticize government, ALL levels of government, without fear of being sued into oblivion.  Governments, of course, can't stand most criticism, and the small government of the Union Bay Improvement District (UBID) is no exception. This merry little band of morons decided that the solution to one of their ratepayers expressing her … [Read more...]

TSA threatens to “shut down Texas” if they dare outlaw TSA sexual assaults

Published May 26, 2011 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Abuse of Police Authority, Bureaucratic Incompetence, Ethics in Politics


In a move that shocks even the most jaded of us, the TSA (Transportation Security Administration) has threatened to shut down the entire air transportation system in Texas if the Texas State Legislature passes a law making it a crime to fondle the sexual bits of  air travelers. The other day I applauded Texas for daring to take a stand against the TSA's roving band of … [Read more...]

Ontario Provincial Police claim success after terrorizing man at the wrong address

Published April 26, 2011 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Abuse of Police Authority, Bureaucratic Incompetence, Police Brutality, Police Misconduct


The Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) are no strangers to the finer arts of propaganda.  What else do you call an official press release that claims "operational success" after launching a stun grenade into the wrong address and then holding an innocent man at gunpoint? Well, I personally would start with "incompetent". Incompetent is a good word for not being able to get … [Read more...]

Blastogram: The Art of Ignorance and Public Servants

Published April 18, 2011 by Jane Gaffin Filed Under: Abuse of Police Authority, Bureaucratic Incompetence, Charter of Rights and Freedoms Breaches


The police and government bureaucrats have sunk into a despicable habit of laying arbitrary, unfounded accusations that allows only for ineffectual denial as a defense. It is sick that people can lose their assets--and sometimes be sentenced to prison--based solely on “he said/she said” evidence. I have warned people not to go into a government office or meeting unless … [Read more...]
