While governments worldwide focused their attention on 'COVID counts' and lockdowns of healthy people in their non-stop fear porn crusade, one number ought to make everyone sit up and take notice. In Canada, 1,412 people chose to end their lives by medical assistance in dying (MAiD) (18.6% of all MAiD deaths in 2020) because they simply could not face another year of … [Read more...]
High Priestess of COVID or Whiny Little Crybaby?
On Thursday, February 25, 2021, Dr. Bonnie Henry, BC's very own High Priestess of COVID, whined and complained about people protesting her office and expressing their displeasure with her grand but life-destroying pronouncements - aka Public Health Orders.

Pray for Edmonton Pastor James Coates
Today I ask you to pray for Pastor James Coates who, for the 13th day in a row, sits in a solitary confinement cell in the Edmonton Remand Centre - a maximum security prison - while that same facility released over 500 prisoners in the past year due to COVID, including dangerous offender Clint Carifelle. The hypocrisy of releasing violent offenders while imprisoning … [Read more...]
Blackcomb-Whistler Skiers Highlight COVID Enforcement Hypocrisy
Yesterday was the tale of two COVID enforcement actions by BC Premier John Horgan and his High Priestess of COVID, Dr. Bonnie Henry. Blackcomb-Whistler Mountain was flooded with skiers who did not practice social distancing. Blackcomb-Whistler did not receive a fine for violating the High Priestess' social distancing rules. Yesterday in the Fraser Valley, at the same … [Read more...]
15 Signs of an Abusive Relationship: Government Edition
How do you know if you’re in an abusive relationship with your government? If your government tells you not to see your friends and family, you’re in an abusive relationship with your government. If your government says you must ask for their permission before leaving the house, you’re in an abusive relationship with your government. If your government tells you what … [Read more...]
Bonnie Henry’s ‘not-a-lockdown’ Christmas Lockdown
On December 7, 2020, Dr. Bonnie Henry, BC's High Priestess of COVID, was asked whether she thought British Columbians "will be on board with basically being locked down for Christmas?” “This is not a lockdown, clearly,” Bonnie Henry replied, a smirk on her face. Then she described a key element of a lockdown. “But yes, these are the restrictions that we’ve had in place. … [Read more...]
Undercover RCMP Refused Entry to Fraser Valley Churches
I never believed I would live long enough to see religious freedom under blatant attack in Canada. I was wrong. On Sunday, December 6th, a pair of undercover RCMP officers attempted to attend worship services at three Lower Mainland churches. Their crime? Holding regular Sunday worship services in defiance of Dr. Bonnie Henry's order banning all worship … [Read more...]
COVID: It’s not about health, it’s about keeping those ants in line
“You let one ant stand up to us, then they all might stand up! Those puny little ants outnumber us a hundred to one and if they ever figure that out, there goes our way of life! It’s not about food. It’s about keeping those ants in line.” – Hopper, A Bug’s Life Preamble I never intended to get involved in the COVID debate. My preference was to simply to watch it … [Read more...]
All Hail the High Priestess of COVID – Dr. Bonnie Henry
If COVID is the new god then Bonnie Henry is its High Priestess. On Tuesday, December 8th, the High Priestess of COVID published the latest version of her bastardized commandments. If the restrictions that follow make no sense to you, don’t worry your pretty little head over them. This doesn’t have to make sense. It’s government policy. All Hail the High Priestess of … [Read more...]
Is Canada’s Democracy Doomed?
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...]
You can choose what food you eat… IF the government approves
You are not in control of your own body. In fact you're too stupid to know what food is right for you. Your so-called "healthy choices" are not government-approved; therefore you cannot eat what you want. So says the Ontario Court of Appeal in it's decision in R. v. Schmidt. [45] If there is an infringement of life, liberty and security of the person, the appellant must show … [Read more...]
Facebook Photo Equals Child Abuse? When a Firearm is Visible… Absolutely!
Imagine the scenario. You post an innocent photo of your son holding a rifle on Facebook. Your son is 11 years old. He is well trained in firearm safety by you. His finger is off the trigger in the photo, just as it should be. Some pathetic crybaby sees the Facebook photo and calls the New Jersey Department of Children and Families who, in turn, contact the … [Read more...]
Literary Hypocrisy Tramples Freedom of Thought and Religion
Fred & Louise Hamilton Elementary School has what's called "Read To Myself" time. One might reasonably expect that "Read To Myself" time is when you can, you know, read to yourself from any book you want. It's your time, right? Wrong. While you can read "Hunger Games" at Fred & Louise Hamilton Elementary School during "Read To Myself" time, don't you dare try … [Read more...]

The Broken Promise that is the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms
The Broken Promise that is the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms by Tim McNamara I am a Canadian citizen, born in Canada in an era before common sense was replaced by political correctness, before lawyers made stupidity a defense and before my country became a police state. We were confident in the knowledge that our government had limited authority to interfere in … [Read more...]
Government Health Workers Take Charge of Your Child and Parents have NO say in the matter
The idea of an appointed government overseer for every person born sounds ludicrous, doesn’t it? Surely such a bloated bureaucracy exists only in the imagination of Nanny State promoters, right? Who could believe such a plan was hatched in Scotland. Not only was it hatched in Scotland, this Big Brother’s Wet Dream, also known as the Children and Young People … [Read more...]
US Eminent Domain Case proves government should leave mere citizens alone
It was a landmark ruling when it first came out, cited by anyone with an ounce of common sense as the Death of Property Rights. While that assessment is correct, the eventual outcome of the land seizures by the Kelo v. City of New London US Supreme Court decision. Why am I writing about an American court decision in a Canadian Rights and Freedoms Blog? We’re abusing the … [Read more...]
Crime of the Century (aka children, birthday cupcakes and toy soldiers)
Only a generation ago young boys toted their .22 rifles to school on their shoulders so they could plink away in the school’s shooting range. Try that today and SWAT teams would descend like a Biblical plague of locusts. Gone are the days where a boy playing “Cowboys and Indians” is an everyday activity. Today it’s the subject of a human rights complaint. Our military, … [Read more...]
Our Politically-Correct Hatred of Childhood
Childhood. It's meant to be a relatively carefree and pleasant time of life, where you learn certain values and lessons as you grow into adulthood. In North America, however, it's become a time to terrorize the most vulnerable of our society. Why? If we don't, they might actually grow up to know right from wrong and common sense from lunacy. In order to prevent such … [Read more...]
Illinois State Senator Ira Silverstein desperately needs a history lesson
Illinois State Senator Ira Silverstein desperately needs a history lesson This intellectual neanderthal believes anonymous commenters on the internet are a threat to Freedom and Liberty, forgetting that the Founding Fathers and framers of the Constitution of the United States of America wrote the Federalist and Anti-Federalist Papers using pseudonyms to protect … [Read more...]
The War on Childhood Has Begun In Earnest
The War on Childhood began in earnest this year. I guess the Nanny State Social Engineering Corps didn’t want to take any chances a single child may actually act like, you know, a child this year. First Stop: Mount Carmel Area Elementary School in Mount Carmel, Pennsylvania, where a kindergarten girl was suspended from school for “making terroristic threats” to a fellow … [Read more...]
The sign you’ll NEVER see posted on Nancy Pelosi’s front door, but she insists be post on yours.
[powerpress] As I wrote the other day in "And the 2012 Hypocrisy Award goes to…", anti-gun hypocrites believe guns in their hands (or the hands of their publicly-funded security agents) are absolutely fine... it's guns in the hands of we mere citizens that they think are the big problem. The gun-banning fanatics insist that if we just took all the guns guns away from … [Read more...]
Canadian Sheeple are no better than their American Cousins!
[powerpress] On December 4th, 2012, I wrote an article titled “30% of Americans are Nanny State Sheeple” in which I asked the question What's become of the "Greatest Nation on Earth"? In that article I discussed my abject horror with a study showing over 30% of Americans would willingly submit to oral, anal and vaginal cavity searches if it meant … [Read more...]
When Compliance with the Nanny State is More Important than Education
[powerpress] Andrea Hernandez just wants to get an education. She is, by all accounts I can find, a good student. She’s also a human being who understands we must never allow ourselves to be tracked like pieces of meat in a grocery store. Andrea Hernandez decided that when her high school issued mandatory RFID-enabled high school ID cards, she would not be a … [Read more...]
30% of Americans are Nanny State Sheeple
[powerpress] The TSA, surprisingly, does not currently perform oral, anal or vaginal cavity searches, but the shocking statistic that 30% of Americans would willingly submit to body cavity searches by TSA agents horrified me. The poll, conducted by Harris Interactive on behalf of InfoWars.com, showed that an astronomically high percentage of … [Read more...]
Licensing Smokers: The latest Nanny State Nonsense
The recent wave of nonsense to come out of such "enlightened" individuals as New York Mayor Bloomberg includes banning the sale of pop over 16 ounces, taxes on junk food and now these knuckleheads are proposing to force smokers to get a license before they will be "allowed" to purchase tobacco products. Individuals cannot be trusted to make the "correct" decisions for … [Read more...]
Libby Davies and the Nanny State Sodium Squad
[powerpress] The Great Nanny State will take care of you. At least that’s the plan if NDP health critic (and Nanny State Nutbar) Libby Davies gets her way. Like all good socialists, Libby Davies believes the answer to every problem is the expansion of the Nanny State. In her eyes there is no such thing as a problem that another … [Read more...]
