Pastor James Coates spent the past 29 days in the Edmonton Remand Centre for the heinous crime of preaching a Christian sermon on Sundays. More accurately, Pastor Coates was incarcerated on February 16, 2021, for refusing to sign a bail condition demanding he stop exercising his Charter freedoms of conscience, religion, expression, association and peaceful assembly.

Donna Montague Speaks Out on Criminal Case Against Her Husband
My name is Donna Montague. I am married to former Ontario gunsmith Bruce Montague. I have had Enough! I am thoroughly disgusted! It is bad enough that the news media reports inflammatory positions about Bruce without verifying their data ….. but the “JUDICIARY” is doing it too. Now that the trial is over I can speak. The search of our home: First off, there … [Read more...]
Gunsmith Bruce Montague, Dr. Henry Morgentaler and Abortion Law
That may seem an odd title but it will make sense shortly. The Ontario Court of Appeal released its decision in R. v. Montague, 2014 ONCA 439, in which the government's desire to seize Bruce Montague's complete firearms and ammunition collection came to its unjust conclusion. Ontario's Court of Appeal heard arguments for and against the forfeiture of over $100,000 of … [Read more...]
BC Civil Asset Forfeiture Office Proud to Steal From Mere Citizens
My wife, bless her heart, cuts out articles from the newspaper for me. I'm sure she thinks she's doing me a favour, but most of the time the articles she cuts out just make my blood boil, such as the article she cut out for me the other day titled "BC Forfeiture Office Defends Its Record" by Ian Mulgrew. In Mulgrew's article the head of of BC's Civil Asset Forfeiture … [Read more...]
Arthur Topham’s Continuing Legal Battle for his Right to Freedom of Speech
As I’ve written many times before Quesnel, BC, resident Arthur Topham is embroiled in a battle for his Right to Freedom of Speech. Those who dislike what Arthur has to say used both Section 13 of the Canadian Human Rights Act (now repealed) and the Criminal Code section against “hate crimes” to attack him and strip him of that precious right. While Section 13 of the Canadian … [Read more...]
Two Self-Defense Cases End with Prison Term for homeowner in one, offender in other
When faced with a trespassing criminal, Canada’s laws on the use of force to repel criminals on our own property are still a terrifying mess. Firing a warning shot is deemed legal in Saskatchewan but criminal in Ontario. Both cases involve elderly Canadians who fired warning shots to scare away criminals. In the case of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, resident Hugh Lindholm the … [Read more...]
Will You Write a Lettter of Support for Bruce Montague, his firearm collection and family home?
I received an interesting email the other day from Pastor Jim Butler of the Free Grace Baptist Church, located in Chilliwack, BC. He drafted a letter to Ontario Members of Provincial Parliament (MPPs) and the Ontario Attorney General and wanted my input on that letter before sending it. You can download and read that letter … [Read more...]
Marc Lemire Case Update – February 14, 2013
On February 14, 2013, Marc Lemire filed with the Federal Court of Appeals a devastating critique of Canada’s Internet censorship laws and the fanatical corruption of the misnamed Canadian “Human Rights” Commission. These are the legal documents which will (I hope and pray) finally bring an end to Canada’s draconian thought control apparatus: Section 13 of the “Human Rights” … [Read more...]

Ian Thomson Triumphs over Asinine justice system… momentarily, at least
January 3, 2012 Ian Thomson of Port Colbourne, Ontario, was found NOT GUILTY by Justice Colvin in a 45-minute decision that finally takes the weight off the man who had the audacity to defend his life from masked men trying to murder him in his home while he slept. It's a case that should never happened. Police should have commended Thomson for his restraint in firing … [Read more...]
Charges Dropped Against Moses Mahilal: Is this Crown Prosecutors discovering Common Sense, or merely protecting their conviction rates?
[powerpress] When I heard the news earlier today that all charges against Moses Mahilal were dropped I was both shocked and elated at the same time. It's incredibly uncommon for Ontario Crown Prosecutors to do the right thing... or to be more specific, to correct the injustice they have already perpetrated by laying charges against the … [Read more...]

Discovering your child's injury, you rush your child to the hospital where you expect your child will immediately receive the medical attention she requires. Never in your wildest nightmares would you believe … [Read more...]
Ontario’s Crown prosecutors insist upon confusing self-defense with assault
Imagine you are out with your girlfriend for the evening. You have a lovely time together and come home in the wee hours of the morning, only to find your front door wide open. Your girlfriend's mother lives with both of you so your concern for her safety immediately goes into overdrive. This being Canada you're not legally allowed to carry a firearm, so you run to the … [Read more...]
Does the Yukon Territory really need a pseudo-police department to deal with drug dealers, bootleggers and prostitutes?
Does the Yukon Territory really need another layer of bureaucracy to do the job the RCMP is already paid to do? Apparently, the answer to that question is a resounding YES! according to Yukon’s Parliament. If that shocks you, you’re not alone. “There oughta be a law! What? There already is? Since when?” We already have laws against drug dealing, bootlegging and … [Read more...]
New Hampshire, the “Live Free or Die” state just murdered freedom
New Hampshire has as it's state motto the phrase "Live Free or Die". If you're a normal, thinking American you might be forgiven for believing that New Hampshire actually believes in that motto. In reality, New Hampshire officials, or at least their police, hate the concept so boldly embraced on the state's license plate. Anyone doubting that might want to talk to 61 year … [Read more...]
Vigilantism vs Self-Defense: Why Bob Rae is a buffoon completely out of touch with reality
Interim Liberal Leader Bob Rae is the perfect Liberal. He hates his fellow citizens and believes the State should, indeed MUST be all-powerful, especially when it comes to a monopoly of force. It is the state and ONLY the state who should be able to use force to repel attackers, not mere citizens. For those of us of the lesser class, i.e. not a Liberal politician or a … [Read more...]
Trash Police March on Homes
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...]
Intruder invades a man’s home, but it’s the home owner who gets charged with aggravated assault
In what's becoming a disgusting and disturbing pattern across Canada, it's once again the law-abiding citizen that is being charged, not the criminal. Ontario police and Crown prosecutors appear to have an incredible bias against anyone actually defending themselves, their loved ones or their property. This is just the latest in a long line of legal obscenities to grace the … [Read more...]
Lawrence Manzer case ends abruptly in a mistrial
What a bizarre end to a case that everyone, me included, expected would tell us just how far the government thinks we are allowed to go in protecting ourselves, our homes, our families and our neighbours. I had a long talk with Laurie Manzer yesterday afternoon, once he returned home from court. While he is greatly disappointed that the case did not give us a clearer idea … [Read more...]
Freedom of Speech means the freedom to criticize government without fear of being sued
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...]
Lawrence Manzer goes on trial one week from today
Lawrence Manzer goes on trial one week from today in a case that should never be before the court at all. The only reason it is appears to be the local RCMP's hatred of someone doing their job and Crown Prosecutor Paul Hawkins' hatred for a decent man doing the right thing when the RCMP won't. Hawkins certainly doesn't seem to have a problem with actual violent criminals or … [Read more...]
