French “Perennial Victims” Seek $50 Million Payday from Twitter
Who “owns” your Twitter posts? The answer might just surprise you. It’s not you. So says a court in New York State. Judge Matthew Sciarrino Jr. ruled that Twitter user Malcom Harris has “no proprietary interests” in his own Twitter posts and ordered the social media giant to hand over all of Harris’ past tweets including those he had deleted.

The Lesson of Doug Christie – A Tribute to One Man and his Commitment to Freedom of Speech
On March 11, 2013, the day I learned of Doug Christie’s death, I was both shocked and saddened by the news even though I knew it was coming. More than that, however, I felt drained and empty knowing we had lost one of the greatest Freedom Fighters in a generation. Anger burned deep inside me as I the saw the enemies of Freedom and Liberty dance with delight, knowing one of … [Read more...]
Freedom of Speech? No Thanks, We’re Canadian…
On Wednesday, February 27, 2013 the Supreme Court of Canada had the opportunity to stand up for Canadians’ Right to Freedom of Speech. To call their ruling in R. v. Whatcott an “Epic Fail” would be a gross understatement. When the Supreme Court starts out by explaining as it did in Whatcott, not that individual rights are the very foundation of our society, but that “All … [Read more...]

Prince Rupert School District Despises Freedom of Speech; Orders Teachers to Remove T-Shirts Promoting Section 2(b) of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms
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.

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.

The Inconvenient Truth about Warren Kinsella, Guns and Freedom of Speech
Warren Kinsella is a very strange man. That’s truly the kindest thing I can say about him. Warren Kinsella believes in Freedom of Speech, but only for himself and a select few others. Kinsella’s preference, being a good Liberal at heart, is to silence anyone who disagrees with his worldview, and he’s not above using the court system to do precisely that. For we mere … [Read more...]
