Judge Andrew Napolitano is one of the foremost defenders of freedom. His comprehension of the Constitution of the United States of America is arguably one of the best alive today. Until recently Judge Napolitano had his own show on the Fox News Network called "Freedom Watch" where he would espouse the benefits of freedom and demand America's government actually live by the … [Read more...]
Vic Toews: Politicians, like diapers, should be changed often, and for the same reason
While claiming it’s perfectly reasonable for the government to spy on its citizens, the shoe is clearly on the other foot in a lovely social media twist that makes a point to Canada’s Minister of Public Safety, Vic Toews. Toews is very cranky over how his personal life and details of his divorce, infidelity and lack of child support is being displayed very publicly on a … [Read more...]
Freedom to Read What You Like? Not In Canada…
If you’re a Canadian, do you believe you have the right to read whatever you like? If you do, you’re not alone, even though you are sadly and grossly mistaken. Canada, believe it or not, has a long and sordid history of banning books and magazines that some unelected and unaccountable bureaucrat has decided you should not read. You see, the Freedom to read what I like is … [Read more...]
Fredericton, NB Blogger Charles LeBlanc gains media and political support
Randy McKeen is a radio show host on "Fredericton's Country Station", KHJ Radio. The other day on his segment, The Bottom Line with Randy McKeen, the radio personality came to the support of blogger Charles LeBlanc and politely ridiculed police for arresting LeBlanc. If I didn't know better, I'd say McKeen had read my recent article on Charles LeBlanc and changed a few … [Read more...]
Charles LeBlanc: Crackpot blogger or Concerned Citizen being harassed by police?
This past Thursday morning, January 19th, Charles LeBlanc had eight members of the Fredericton City Police show up at his low-rent apartment. They arrested him and seized his computer equipment, but they refused to charge him with any crime. On the surface, it doesn’t look like much. Just some guy on welfare getting busted by police. He obviously had it coming for some … [Read more...]
Starting the New Year off Right (with a little help from Ezra Levant)
One of the best things to happen to the Canadian media landscape last year was the introduction of the Sun News Network. Finally there was a voice that was different from any other voice on Canadian television. What a treat for people like me and perhaps like you. So, to start the year off right, I want to give you one of Ezra Levant's best rants from last … [Read more...]
Why are Canadians so terrified of Freedom of Speech?
Freedom of Speech vs “Approved Speech”. This is at the heart of the ongoing push to remove Section 13 from the Canadian Human Rights Act. In 2009 the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal ruled that although Lemire had violated Section 13 of the Act, that section of the Act was unconstitutional, and they would not enforce the unconstitutional section of the Act against Mr. … [Read more...]
Your “human right” NOT to be offended is about to be revoked.
Thirty-four years ago Canada passed one of the most absurd and Freedom-crushing laws in human history, granting Canadians the “human right” not to be offended. The abomination that is 1977 Canadian Human Rights Act was rammed through Parliament by none other than that most Marxist of Prime Ministers, Pierre Elliott Trudeau. For many reasons I’ve never thought much of … [Read more...]
Indifference Allows the State to Steal Our Cherished Freedoms
People who do not protest and fight back for their beliefs are cast as pitiful victims. Even a badly-organized revolt that fizzles can offer more hope than doing nothing at all. As my father used to say: "Do something, even if it's wrong." An esteemed U.S. Supreme Court justice took the adage one step further. "Be not afraid to do something," advised Clarence … [Read more...]
Former Aurora, ON Mayor Phyllis Morris finally drops her $6 million lawsuit against bloggers
Some time ago I wrote about the asinine lawsuit filed by a petty politician, Phyllis Morris, over comments made about her during an election... an election in which her past record as mayor came back to bite her in the butt. She lost the election by a landslide not because some bloggers commented about her track record, but because her own actions showed she was not competent … [Read more...]
The Awesome Ann Barnhardt and her 4-part series titled Islamic Sexuality: A Survey of Evil
If you haven't heard of Ann Barnhardt yet, I've gotta say... I'm surprised. She leapt onto the scene a few months back after some moronic United States Senator decided that tossing out the Constitution in favour of Sharia Law was a fantastic idea. Ann took great offense to this notion and proceeded to tear Lindsey Graham a new asshole because, I imagine, his current one was … [Read more...]
Terrorism Law: A War on Internet
All levels of government are trying to feed balderdash to ordinary Canadians as a way of brainwashing them into feeling guilty unless they willingly accept reverse onus (guilty as charged and no way to prove innocence) without uttering a whimper or protest to unwarranted Internet surveillance. (Translation: stupid, low-life minions aren’t trustworthy or deserving, let alone … [Read more...]
Christine St. Pierre: Quebec’s Very Own Minister of Propaganda
Quebec's self-proclaimed Minister of Propaganda says "unlicensed" journalists should be "controlled"... It's the kind of thing you would expect in Nazi Germany or in a bad parody of the timeless George Orwell classic 1984, NOT what you would expect to come from the mouth of someone who claims to represent the people in an [allegedly] democratic society. "Journalism should … [Read more...]
Alan deJersey, Denis Royer, and David Godfrey voted to spend $50,000 in direct conflict of interest
Alan de Jersey, Denis Royer, and David Godfrey voted to spend $50,000 in what appears to be a rather large conflict of interest in the handling of Union Bay Improvement District (UBID) funds. It appears evident to me (as well as many of those who reside in Union Bay) that Alan de Jersey, Denis Royer, and David Godfrey (the former trustees recently removed from the UBID … [Read more...]
Missouri law banning teachers and students from communicating online slammed by judge
Missouri state legislators decided some time back to outlaw teachers and students from communicating using social media sites like Facebook. Their law passed the state legislature unanimously, which is hardly surprising. As with most things before state legislatures (or federal ones either, for that matter) most legislators probably never even bothered to read the bill they … [Read more...]
Small-Town Corruption and Conflict of Interest or just business as usual in Union Bay?
I've been digging around some more into the Union Bay thing... you know... where the Union Bay Improvement District (UBID) tried suing local blogger Mary Reynolds for defamation for daring to question UBID board members about their apparent conflicts of interest. Between the May election that saw most of the board unceremoniously dumped and the recent resignation of Alan De … [Read more...]
Union Bay Improvement District Administrator and last trustee from alleged corruption scandal quit
With so many things to write about every day and so many cases of political corruption and police brutality going on around the nation, it's not a surprise that I haven't managed to get back to the Union Bay Improvement District (UBID) and its war of words until now. It's not that I didn't want to. Work and life just get in the way sometimes, you know? But this fine sunny … [Read more...]
Court of Public Opinion Renders Verdict in Phyllis Morris case: Guilty of Gross Stupidity
Phyllis Morris has gained a lot of notoriety since she lost her re-election bid to keep her job as mayor of Aurora, Ontario. It was during that election that she got just a little too big for her own britches and started suing anyone and everyone who was related to a couple of blog posts she didn't like. She even went after the people she claimed should have deleted the … [Read more...]
Saskatchewan dumps its Human Rights Tribunal. That’s 1 down, 13 to go…
Saskatchewan has officially dumped its Human Rights Tribunal. What a momentous day for our cherished Rights and Freedoms! This is the day we've been anticipating since Saskatchewan's Justice Minister Don Morgan announced the proposal about a year and a half ago. Anyone who hasn't been hiding under a rock for the past 5 years will know all about such stellar examples of … [Read more...]
Freedom of Speech? Not if you protested the G-20 in Toronto…
I find it "interesting" that in Canada, a nation that claims to be a defender of our God-given Rights and Freedoms, we have judges telling people they cannot exercise their Right to Freedom of Speech. It would seem that even after the largest number human rights violations in Canadian history, the affronts to our fundamental Rights and Freedoms isn't going to end any time … [Read more...]
