BC Premier Horgan Obeys One Section of Charter While Happily Violating Another

On Thursday, January 21, 2021, BC Premier John Horgan told reporters he would not impose a travel ban based on a “review of our legal options.” The Charter of Rights and Freedoms guarantees our right to mobility in Section 6: Mobility Rights. 6 (1) Every citizen of Canada has the right to enter, remain in and leave Canada. (2) Every citizen of Canada and every person who … [Read more...]

Canadian Gun Bans

RCMP and CBSA Contradict Public Safety Minister Bill Blair, RCMP Relents

RCMP and CBSA Contradict Public Safety Minister Bill Blair

Late Friday night the RCMP declared all 12-gauge and 10-gauge shotguns are legal "because we say so." Please read my assessment of Minister Blair's similarly worded legal advice on Facebook and Twitter at the end of this article. My thoughts there apply to the RCMP's latest as well. Friday was not a good day for Public Safety Minister Bill Blair. The Canadian … [Read more...]

Support Companies Unafraid To Call This Holiday By Its Name: Christmas

Published November 15, 2014 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Common Sense, Politically Correct Madness


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...]

Politically-Correct Madness: Washington Redskins Trademarks Cancelled by US Patent Office

Published June 19, 2014 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Censorship, Politically Correct Madness


The Washington Redskins are a football team which has operated under this name since 1932. A bunch of nanny state ninnies decreed the term "Redskins" is derogatory and the team should be stripped of its name. An article in Politico made a big deal about this, quoting such authorities as Harry Reid as if that lends legitimacy to the stripping of trademarks held by a … [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...]

Gun Ownership Leads To Gun Violence but only if you add the Medical Lobby and completely twist the facts

Published May 16, 2014 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Common Sense, Gun Politics, Politically Correct Madness


To paraphrase Eric Rauch’s eloquent article from 2012, Do More Guns Lead to More Violent Crime?, gun ownership leads to gun violence the same way car ownership leads to drunk driving. It just isn’t so. Rauch’s article came in response to doctors claims they discovered something new about gun violence, namely that gun ownership leads to gun violence, when in reality they … [Read more...]

Stupid Toronto Star Reporters Shouldn’t Write About Canadian Firearms Law

Published May 13, 2014 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Canada's Firearms Act, Gun Politics, Guns, Politically Correct Madness


You can't stop people from being stupid. You can, as a reporter writing about stupid people, base your story at least in the same universe as reality, if not on the same planet. Jacques Gallant, a staff reporter for Toronto's The Star newspaper, clearly doesn't have a clue what he's writing about in his article "Handguns Easily Resold to Potential Criminals" when he … [Read more...]

Earth Hour is Stupid: Pandering to North American Guilt and Shame

Published March 29, 2014 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Common Sense, Personal Responsibility, Politically Correct Madness


Earth Hour is one of those feel-good but utterly useless exercises North Americans use to lessen their bizarre guilt for being prosperous. The whole "Earth Hour" notion is stupid, if you take a moment and actually think about it. The concept that turning off your lights for an hour will magically stop anything, let alone pollution, is ludicrous. It's like some weird … [Read more...]

Government Health Workers Take Charge of Your Child and Parents have NO say in the matter

A&E Network caved to pressure but not from those who you might expect. A&E's so-called "stand" against Phil Robertson's Right to Freedom of Speech and Freedom of Religion lasted a massive 9 days. They caved the millisecond they understood their sacred cash cow "Duck Dynasty", the highest rated cable show in history, would die if they did not reverse their asinine … [Read more...]

Mount Soledad Veterans Memorial: Religious Freedom for Everyone Except Christians?

A Southern California District Court has ruled that a cross at the Mount Soledad Veterans Memorial in San Diego is a government endorsement of a specific religion and must be removed within 90 days. The judge in the case, Larry Alan Burns, appeared to be choked up as he read his decision, saying that precedent from the wildly liberal Ninth Circuit Court left him no options. … [Read more...]

December 6th – A Day Dedicated to Hating Men & blaming them for the acts of one Muslim lunatic

I can’t speak for you, but I’m getting tired of the annual festival of hatred against men sparked by the heinous and misogynist killing spree committed by Gamil Gharbi. Most people don’t know that name because the mainstream media refuses to use the name of the murderer up until two years before his killing spree at l’Ecolle Polytechnique. They prefer to use his “Canadian” … [Read more...]

by Mark L Horstead When a columnist claims to know something about firearms, as David Foote most recently did in "Fewer guns make a saver (sic) community, agues (sic) columnist" on 27 May 2013, but cannot even get the calibre right on a firearm that he supposedly owned, it is difficult indeed to give credence to anything which follows. There has never been a "306" … [Read more...]

The FBI Calls Me a Terrorist just because I believe in Defending My Rights and Freedoms?

Another absurd document surfaced from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) that discusses “Possible Indicators of Terrorist Activities Related to Internet Cafes”. In that document it explains how to find potential terrorists and turn them over to the proper authorities for rendering... er I mean investigation.

In our rush to mediocrity academic excellence is a crime

Everyone is a winner! No child left behind! You hurt my feelings! You didn’t include me! And so it goes… rewarding excellence is a crime against the mediocre and the lazy… a crime for which the excellent must be punished.  How dare they, after all, stand out from the crowd?

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...]

Imagine it... a school district, supposedly in charge of educating our children, deems the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms to be “inappropriate”. No, I am not making this up. Prince Rupert School District No. 52 recently banned teachers from wearing a T-shirt with “2(b) or not 2(b)?” on the front, and the text of section 2 of the Charter on the back: 2(a) … [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.

Published October 27, 2012 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Big Brother, Bureaucratic Incompetence, Politically Correct Madness, Privacy Rights


Government is innately wasteful.  It's a simple enough concept to understand really. When a group of people are not accountable for the money they spend there is no incentive to spend that money wisely. While a simple concept, bureaucrats and politicians routinely show they cannot comprehend it. Take the Greater Vancouver Regional District (GVRD) and TransLink.  These … [Read more...]
