It won't help travellers crossing the … [Read more...]
Honolulu says Pay Attention or Pay a Fine
Honolulu says Pay Attention or Pay a Fine Our ability to pay attention has dropped to an all-time low when we can't even put down our phones for the 10 seconds it takes to cross the street. In an effort to combat this attention deficit, the city of Honolulu, Hawaii, introduced ordinance 17-39. The ordinance introduces fines for people who stare at their cell phones while … [Read more...]
Actions have Consequences so Don’t Shoot at Cops
On October 12, 2017, Flagstaff, Arizona, resident Sean D Brady made a very poor decision. He pulled a gun and shot at police. That decision cost him his life. Sean D Brady should win a Darwin award for his stupidity. The confrontation started about 9:45 PM in a Walmart parking lot. Brady sat in his truck, loud music blaring from his stereo. Walmart allows people to … [Read more...]
Crybaby Colin Kaepernick Files NFL Grievance
Just when you and I thought the NFL protests against the national anthem couldn't get any stupider, along comes Colin Kaepernick to prove us wrong. Like a little crybaby, Colin Kaepernick continues to whine and snivel about how mistreated he is. He fails to comprehend his unemployment is directly related to four things, not the least of which are his own choices: Colin … [Read more...]

The Social Justice Warrior Worldview
If you think you're crazy because of all the politically-correct nonsense in our world, you're not. If you think the world is being turned upside down by childish crybabies who cannot comprehend a moral right from a moral wrong, you're correct. If you believe your right to free speech trumps the screeching and wailing of social justice warriors who are too intellectually … [Read more...]
Patrick O’Neill, Head of Explosives Branch, Issues Stern Warning to Target Shooters
Binary, reactive or exploding targets are exciting. Blowing things up is just plain fun. There's no doubt about that. These targets are also incredibly dangerous when used improperly, as dozens of YouTube videos can attest. More than one gun owner is missing body parts after they combined gross stupidity with explosives and guns. Binary, reactive or exploding targets, … [Read more...]
Tony Kakfwi Fights Mandatory Minimum 4-Year Sentence for being stupid in public… with a gun
The inconvenient truth for Tony Kakfwi is that being stupid in public has consequences. Those consequences include a 4-year mandatory minimum prison sentence for one of the charges he faces. Understandably, Tony Kakfwi doesn’t want to go to prison for four years. The cold hard reality, however, is he should’ve thought about that before he fired his rifle near a crowd of … [Read more...]
My Latest Complaint to the CBC Ombudsman
Below is my latest complaint to the CBC Ombudsman about their video "Keeping Canada Safe - Guns in Canada 101." That they pulled the video for a day to make two minor cosmetic changes to the on-screen captions is a start, but they have a long way to go. Their refusal to fact-check is a disgrace to journalistic integrity, of which the CBC clearly has none. To file your … [Read more...]
TheGunBlog.ca’s Excellent Idea – File Complaint with CBC Ombudsman over CBC Video
UPDATED: CBC Ombudsman: http://www.ombudsman.cbc.radio-canada.ca/en/contact-us/ TheGunBlog.ca (an excellent website) wants gun owners to file complaints with the CBC Ombudsman Office over all the factual errors in the CBC video "Guns in Canada 101", part of their Keeping Canada Safe series. It's a brilliant idea and one I think we all can get behind. The CBC is no friend … [Read more...]
BC Creates No Shooting Zones Thanks to Ignorant Shooters
When supposed law-abiding firearm enthusiasts refuse to police themselves, we can't be surprised when government steps in to do it for us. Worse, we have nobody to blame but ourselves. It's bad when governments crap all over gun owners for the crimes of drug dealers and criminal gangs. It's entirely another then for them to shut down recreational shooting areas because of … [Read more...]
Ashley Csanady’s Virtuous Character Assassination of Mike Pence
If you hate what a man stands for you will do anything to tear him down. That's appears to be the rationale for Ashley Csanady's hit piece on Vice-President Mike Pence in the National Post. In it she decries the fact Mike Pence “never eats alone with a woman other than his wife and that he won’t attend events featuring alcohol without her by his side, either.” In Csanady's … [Read more...]
Killer deal on Jooicer Twitter growth & engagement system good ’til March 30
I just stumbled across this amazing deal. They normally charge $39/month but through AppSumo they're charging that for lifetime access. What sold me was the ability to schedule tweets, something other providers want way too much money for. They call it a "growth hacking tool for twitter" and it's one of many that help you build your Twitter following. Most are insanely … [Read more...]

Meet Hero and Lifesaver Calvin Stein
The very first thing Calvin Stein will say is that he's not a hero. I disagree. Anyone who selflessly puts themselves in harm's way to save the life of a 3-year-old child is a hero. Full Stop. And that's precisely what Calvin Stein did. He ended up with a broken orbital socket, a concussion and a ton of stitches for his troubles but all he says about that is "I can … [Read more...]
I Stand With Dallas Police
As of 2am Central Standard Time 4 Dallas police officers and 1 Dallas Area Rapid Transit officer are dead in downtown Dallas after snipers opened fire on them during a Black Lives Matter protest. Police believe at least four individuals, I'll call them deranged morons, coordinated their sniper attack to ensure maximum police casualties. They clearly knew the route of the … [Read more...]

I like it best when the “special” neighbours stop in for a visit
Life is pretty great, isn't it? On Saturday afternoon I wandered around taking pictures of the wild flowers. It's one of my pastimes and I can easily get lost in the process. Such was the case this past Saturday afternoon. The wild tiger lily is probably my favourite of them all and I never tire of taking photographs of them. They are utterly amazing and they grow almost … [Read more...]
Democrat Senator Jeanne Shaheen Opens her Mouth and Removes All Doubt She’s a Fool
The old saying goes something like this… It’s better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt. New Hampshire Democratic Senator Jeanne Shaheen ought to have listened to that pearl of wisdom before going on the live radio show Mitchell in the Morning recently. This is the drivel she spouted off in one short rant. “The fact is, the … [Read more...]
Leah McHenry, Canada’s First Lady of Celtic Rock and “Leah’s Tribe”
I love Celtic rock. Always have. What can I say... it speaks to something primal in my soul. Yet when Celtic Rocker Leah McHenry sent me a friend request on Facebook a few years ago I was both intrigued and puzzled. Intrigued because I had never heard of her; puzzled because I didn’t know why a musician I'd never heard of would seek “Facebook Friendship” with a … [Read more...]
The only Good Rat is a DEAD Rat
This year everyone seems to have rat problems. In the rural areas it's much worse, I suspect, but then I'm probably biased. A family of these disgusting vermin invaded my house and made one heck of a mess. After killing the home invaders and spending what seemed like FOREVER cleaning up all the destruction they left behind, not to mention all the rat urine and feces I EVER … [Read more...]
Cassandra Oosterhof Huntress Censorship Outrage does NOT translate into votes
Over 500 people read my articles about Chilliwack huntress Cassandra Oosterhof's quest to win the crown of "Extreme Huntress" yesterday yet only 17 people actually followed the link in the article and voted for her. I must say I'm both surprised and disappointed. Had even 25% of those outraged that Cassandra's quest was censored by a few small-minded hypocrites actually … [Read more...]

English Professor Heidi Czerwiec Terrified of ROTC Exercises (and her own shadow)
Heidi Czerwiec is an associate Professor at the University of North Dakota where she teaches creative writing and literature. She is, like far too many educators across North America, terrified of guns. It doesn't matter whose hands they are in either. Heidi Czerwiec wrote a letter to the Grand Forks Herald decrying "two figures in camo with guns" outside her office window … [Read more...]
Former NFA President James Murray Hinter dodges the bullet again
James Murray, as he calls himself today, is the former President of Canada's National Firearms Association (NFA) when he called himself James Murray Hinter. He currently resides in Thunder Bay and a couple of years ago he found himself, once again, in legal hot water over guns. In pleading guilty in Ontario Superior Court to charges of unauthorized possession of a firearm … [Read more...]
The Beautiful Mural Art of Whitehorse Artist Colin Alexander
I've been in Whitehorse roughly 30 hours now and as I wander the streets of this beautiful little city I've been blown away by all the beautiful street murals that adorn buildings all over town. I've taken a ton of photographs of them because they truly are works of art. Seems God made sure I would stumble across the artist of these fine pieces of art as I strolled around … [Read more...]
In Memoriam: Jane Gaffin
I actually thought Jane Gaffin, who passed away at 73 years of age on July 15, 2015, at 5:30 in the afternoon, was too ornery to just up and die on us. Anyone who ever knew Jane knows exactly what I’m talking about. Turns out I was quite wrong. She was every bit as mortal as the rest of us. It’s just that she was one of those rare larger-than-life personalities who would, … [Read more...]
Celebrating the Life of Jane Gaffin – The Yukon’s Unofficial Mining Historian
I’m here in Whitehorse to join with the Yukon mining community in celebrating the life of Jane Gaffin. I’m especially grateful for Ron Berdahl (Prospector of the Year in 1997 I learned tonight!) for keeping me apprised of Jane’s health and ultimate passing. Were it not for Ron Berdahl I doubt I would have learned about her death for some time. Thank you Ron! Ron also picked … [Read more...]
Support Companies Unafraid To Call This Holiday By Its Name: Christmas
I admit it. I’m one of those “old-fashioned” people who call this holiday by it’s actual name: Christmas. I’m no fan of “Happy Holidays” since the holiday has a name: Christmas. We would never dream of calling Valentine’s Day by some other name. We wouldn’t dare call Remembrance Day by some pathetic misnomer, yet for some reason it’s okay to rename Christmas even as radio … [Read more...]
