It would seem that Liberal Leader Michael Ignatieff is totally out of touch with the reality of what happened in Rwanda under the watch of Canadian General Romeo Dallaire. In a recent Twitter post, Ignatieff praised Dallaire for his defense of human rights. Nothing could be further from the truth than saying that Dallaire is a "defender" of human rights. Why do I say … [Read more...]
Canada’s Firearms Act is a Success!!! NOT.
It's a classic case, really. "A Toronto man" who already has two separate lifetime firearms prohibitions against him gets arrested. Again. With a handgun. His first firearms prohibition came in 2009 after he was caught with a loaded .357 magnum handgun the year prior. His second lifetime firearms prohibition came after he was sentenced to, get this, three years … [Read more...]
Actor Ben Affleck’s Arrogance knows no bounds
Actor Ben Affleck's arrogance, self-importance and sense of entitlement know know bounds. There are some really class acts in Hollywood, don't get me wrong. Tom Selleck and Sandra Bullock come immediately to mind. There are dozens, if not hundreds, of others. But Affleck clearly isn't one of them. On Tuesday he appeared on Morning Edition to flog his latest movie … [Read more...]
And under the heading of Moronic Bureaucrat of the Year…
Some ninny bureaucrat in Britain has decreed that having Army cadets carrying rifles and demonstrating their drill skills in this year's Remembrance Day parade would "upset" onlookers. These delicate onlookers have managed to survive the horror of watching young cadets perform their drills for decades. Why they suddenly can't handle the sight of a rifle in the hands of an … [Read more...]
Ya can’t keep guns out of prisons???
Drug Dealers get an “E” for Effort!
You've really got to admire the ingenuity of it all, even if their motives are less than honourable. Building a fake school bus to sell drugs is, I think, a pretty novel idea. I suppose they needed to be a little smarter in the implementation phase of their plan though! This news report comes from the Fort McMurray Today newspaper: Three B.C. men facing drug charges while … [Read more...]
What’s the first rule of gun handling again?
Gun Safety Rule #1 ALWAYS keep the firearm pointed in a safe direction. Seriously. It's not that difficult. And it saves having to explain how you managed to shoot both your 4-year-old son and your own mother while you're "cleaning your gun". Gun Safety Rule #2 ALWAYS keep your finger off the trigger and out of the trigger guard until you're ready to … [Read more...]
School Shootings Suck
Some kids in Toronto decided that shooting a gun inside the high school was a good idea. Everyone ran from the scene, and nobody was killed, thank God. A few probably had to clean their shorts after too, but that's hardly the worst thing in the world, especially if the jerk who pulled the trigger was the one doing the shorts-cleaning. The downside is that the kid who … [Read more...]
Rookie RCMP Const. Chris Christinger — another fine example
Rookie RCMP Const. Chris Christinger clearly isn't the brightest new recruit. Not only did he sneak an under-aged girl into a beer garden at the Bella Coola Rodeo, he took pictures and posted them on YouTube. He really should be grateful he's only been docked ten days pay for his break of morals. He should have been fired for being drunk on the job and lying about it to his … [Read more...]
Liberal MP Shawn Murphy – Let’s Ban Blogging!
There's nothing a Liberal, small-l or large, hates more than something they cannot control. Their answer is always the same. Let's ban it. Let's pass a law against it. ANYTHING, just so long as we STOP people from doing whatever they're doing that we don't agree with. The latest asinine notion comes from Liberal MP Shawn Murphy, who can't stand the fact that people can … [Read more...]
Stupid with a capital “S”
Under the heading of moronic are three young Saskatoon men. They thought driving around town pointing pellet guns at people was a good idea. After a "high-risk takedown" by Saskatoon Police, the three probably don't think it's so cool now. After searching the vehicle police found three pellet guns, marijuana and "drug paraphernalia". Note to kids: If you're going to … [Read more...]
Larry Bagnell: Another Spineless Liberal MP
Yukon's Liberal MP Larry Bagnell is feeling stuck between a rock and a hard place. His rural riding is filled with hunters, miners, prospectors and outdoors people. When asked if he would avoid the House instead of voting against his constituents, Bagnell said "I’m not sure, I haven’t explored that possibility to see if that’s an option". He's got to ask Iggy's permission … [Read more...]
Former Calgary Police Officer Slapped on Wrist for Child Porn
It's no wonder the world's pedophiles view Canada as a safe haven. Paul Roger Villecourt, a member of the Calgary Police Service, retired from the CPS two weeks before being charged with accessing and possessing child pornography. Moments before facing a jury trial, Villecourt pled guilty and as sentenced to a year in jail. He'll be on probation for three years after that, … [Read more...]
Canadian Judges and sex scandals
It's a bizarre case, from what I can tell. Not that sex scandals are anything new... they're not. Not even in Canada. What's bizarre about this case is the man involved is suing the couple, which includes a sitting Manitoba judge, individually for a total of $17 million, and their former law firm for another $50 million dollars. Alexander Chapman alleges that Winnipeg … [Read more...]
Canadian Justice — Killer Walks Free
Lucy Muthoka got off easy. She killed two men when she crashed her new car into them in a crowded intersection in Winnipeg two years ago. After pleading guilty to two charges of dangerous driving causing death, she's been handed a suspended sentence with probation. "God being my witness, I never intended to harm. Words fail to express how sorry I am," Muthoka is quoted … [Read more...]
Preview of Canada’s Next Steps in Gun Control
Australia spent hundreds of millions of dollars to buy back firearms in the mid-90's. Like all do-gooder projects, the government felt this would keep guns out of the hands of criminals. Like all do-gooder legislation that's not been properly thought through, it's been a massive failure. Never ones to give up hope, however, the current government of Queensland has decided … [Read more...]
Waving Guns In Public (Fake Ones Too!)
On August 3rd Calgary Police got several calls about a man acting suspiciously in a Safeway parking lot. Police responded. They found and apprehended someone who was seen carrying a firearm outside the grocery store. He was arrested and "charges are pending" after police found a replica handgun on the him. What he was doing there, police a still investigating. Why he … [Read more...]
How to Ruin Your Wedding Day
You wedding day is supposed to be the happiest day of your life. I know mine was. But then I wasn't stupid enough to bring an automatic firearm to my wedding reception either. Seriously. A news report out of Ankara Turkey today blew me away. Okay, not literally, obviously, but it sure made me laugh and cry both at the same time. As I said in a post the other day about … [Read more...]
Police officer accidentally shot himself… oh really
This news item from Queensland is puzzling. It states: A Queensland police officer is being treated in hospital after a service pistol accidentally discharged into his face. The 41-year-old senior constable from Metro North was at the gun safe at Albany Creek police station in Brisbane's north when the pistol discharged, causing shrapnel wounds to his face, police said … [Read more...]
Stupid Toronto Star Poll
The ever ban-happy Toronto Star now wants to ban retail sales of cats and dogs. What morons. A retail store that sells pets pretty much guarantees one thing: the person purchasing the pet, the person putting down their hard-earned and much-taxed cash for a pet isn't very likely to be the person who doesn't want said pet. But the Toronto Star has decided there is a … [Read more...]
