RCMP and Fredericton Police: Accidental or Negligent Discharge of a Firearm?

Firearm Licence Revocation Lies from Justin Trudeau
On February 5, 2020, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau stood in the House of Commons and lied to Canadians.

Muslim Mass Murderer Gamil Gharbi’s 30th Anniversary
This is part of my ongoing series on Canadian Mass Murders. It comes as no surprise to me, nor should it come as one to you, that December 6th is dedicated to hating men when the official Montreal Massacre narrative says all men are responsible for Gamil Gharbi's actions. Garbage. This flies in the face of the facts spelled out by Montreal coroner Teresa Sourour in … [Read more...]
NaNoWriMo Day 7 – Procrastination Nation

Liberal scandals are always bad news for gun owners. Justin Trudeau's latest blackface scandal is no different.
