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...]
Athiests won’t feed the football team but they don’t want anyone else feeding the team either
Don’t you just love the whining morons who complain that a church is doing something even though the whiners won’t do it themselves? Take the case of churches in LaFayette, Georgia, providing meals to local football teams before games. Here are people (yes, churches are in fact filled with people) doing a great thing (feeding young athletes). I find it bizarre that … [Read more...]
BC’s RCMP Despise Your Right to Privacy
Most people believe they have a right to personal privacy and that the government doesn’t need to know their whereabouts every moment of every day. Most people would be wrong. Take, for example, the BC RCMP’s plan for using license plate recording scanners to build a database of the movements of citizens who have done absolutely nothing wrong just because you might do … [Read more...]
Hypocrisy Gone Wild: Niagara Regional Police Constable Nathan Parker files Human Rights complaint after being disciplined for police brutality
As astounding and incomprehensible as it sounds, a Niagara Regional Police Constable who went berserk on a cyclist on May 6, 2008 filed a human rights complaint against his superiors because they hurt his feelings. Constable Nathan Parker, who has never shown one iota of remorse for his disgraceful actions of that day, felt hard done by when a police disciplinary board ruled … [Read more...]
Olympic Gold Medal Gymnast Aly Raisman has more class than Jacques Rogge and the entire International Olympic Committee
On August 8th I wrote about my disgust with Jacques Rogge, president of the IOC and the entire International Olympic Committee for steadfastly refusing to honour the 40th anniversary of the murder of 11 Israeli athletes at the Munich Games in 1972. That column, titled "And the Gold Medal for Cowardice goes to…. Jacques Rogge and the International Olympic Committee" made it … [Read more...]
When is your private property not your own? Whenever a bureaucritter of the Nanny State says so.
We like to believe that when we make the most expensive purchase of our lives, our family home, we’re actually the ones who own it. It’s a fallacy, however, as more and more homeowners, if I can even call them that, are discovering across North America. When we buy a piece of land and a house, we believe we can do what we want with that land and home. Oh, we’re such … [Read more...]
Finally! A response from Lake Country RCMP Detachment Commander Sgt. Scott Rempel re: Pellet Gun Seizure
In the May 16, 2012 edition of the Vernon Morning Star it was reported that RCMP had seized a pellet gun from a person and were going to destroy it, despite the fact they were not laying any charges against the pellet gun owner. This seizure arose from a complaint called in to police that someone was shooting a handgun off the north side of the dock near the Turtle Bay … [Read more...]
Sometimes Profoundly Stupid Actions Have Consequences… Imagine That Adam M. Smith!
Adam M. Smith isn’t normally a stupid person. He was the chief financial officer for a very large company up until just the other day when they fired him for his incredibly bad judgment and, well, plain rudeness to a Chick-Fil-A employee at a drive-thru in Tucson, Arizona. Adam M. Smith was so profoundly stupid to not only videotape his rude and abusive diatribe, but also … [Read more...]
Steven Boyd and Karen Bursey are the latest victims of Bureaucrat’s Rule #1
Anyone hanging out here for any length of time will already be familiar with Bureaucrat's Rule #1, but for the benefit of any newcomers, here it is in all its repulsive glory: Bureaucrat's Rule #1: The Rules are More Important than People As you can see, it's quite a simple rule and it is gleefully used the world over by tyrannical bureaucrats who love nothing more than … [Read more...]
Western Wheat Farmers finally get a taste of freedom from the oppression of the Canadian Wheat Board
Can you imagine starting a business, creating a product and then being sent to jail for the “crime” of selling that product to whoever you wanted? This sounds absurd, doesn’t it? Of course, yet this was the reality for farmers in Western Canada for the past 70 years. The Canadian Wheat Board made it a crime for a farmer to sell the fruits of his labour, namely the wheat he … [Read more...]
Warren Kinsella is “a fucking idiot” who despises YOUR Rights and Freedoms
Warren Kinsella, touted as a "Liberal badboy", showed his true colors a week ago on his blog and again last night on Sun TV. Warren Kinsella despises your Liberty. Warren Kinsella despises your Charter Rights. Warren Kinsella believes you have absolutely no right to defend yourself from a violent attacker, especially if you're using a handgun to do so. Warren Kinsella … [Read more...]
Ontario’s so-called “conservative” Tim Hudak claims to believe in Freedom of Speech
Freedom of Speech is such an invaluable right, but like what happens with any one of our precious Rights and Freedoms when it is taken for granted, those of us living in the western world don’t appreciate its value. We fail to understand what it is like to live in Iran or Egypt or China, where simply speaking your mind about the government can land you in prison for the rest … [Read more...]
Self-Defense: A Tale of Two Police Forces and how they deal with citizen self-defense
The response to armed self-defense in the home during a home invasion is so different in Canada and America that it borders on the bizarre. I’ll use a recent example of the case of a 14-year-old boy in Phoenix, Arizona to make my case. First I will explain the facts of the case, then I’ll delve into the response of the Phoenix Police Department and then, finally, explain … [Read more...]
Poorly-Written Laws Are Criminal by Jane Gaffin
"To maintain the ascendancy of the Constitution over the lawmaking majority is the great and essential point on which the success of (any nation’s) system must depend; unless that ascendancy can be preserved, the necessary consequence must be that the laws will supersede the Constitution; and, finally, the will of the Executive, by influence of its patronage, will supersede the … [Read more...]
US Supreme Court rules lying about receiving the Congressional Medal of Honor is perfectly legal, even if it’s immoral
The Stolen Valor Act made it a crime for a person to lie about being a valid recipient of any military decoration or medal. That crime was punishable by up to a year in prison if the offense involved the military’s highest honor, the Congressional Medal of Honor. This is precisely the medal that Xavier Alvarez lied about receiving. In 2007 he appeared before the Three … [Read more...]
Priscilla Dang sends her would-be muggers packing
In what can only be described as the bad guys getting precisely what they deserve, a story out of Vancouver, Washington really put a smile on my face. A couple of juvenile delinquents decided young Priscilla Dang was a good target for harassment but they quickly learned otherwise. Priscilla was jogging alone on June 15th when two young degenerates approached her. They were … [Read more...]
Under Agenda 21 “Property Seizure” is Seen as “Profit-Sharing” by Jane Gaffin
Canada's Constitution is the supreme law. Any law passed by any federal, provincial, or territorial government that is inconsistent with the constitution is invalid. The next highest law in the pecking order of paramountcy is the Criminal Code of Canada and the same rules of law apply--or should apply--under the Criminal Code as with the Constitution. The Safer … [Read more...]
BC’s new Animal Health Act (Bill 37) is quietly withdrawn due to outcry over prison terms for making fish farm diseases public
There is an old saying that probably began with Freedom of the Press and Freedom of Speech movement in the United States around 1750… “The public has a right to know.” That saying is based on the idea that it is best that we, the people, know what is going on around us, both good and bad. The never-ending battle for Freedom of Speech is based on the conflict between … [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...]
Russ Caswell’s Civil Forfeiture Nightmare
Russ Caswell is 68 years old. He has not been charged with a crime, yet the Tewksbury, Massachusetts, Police Department is using civil forfeiture laws to steal both his livelihood and his retirement estate. Russ Caswell owns and operates his family-owned motel called, oddly enough, the Motel Caswell. It’s not the Ritz but that’s to be expected given the motel was built by … [Read more...]
Ezra Levant’s 5-Point Plan to eradicate the Canadian Broadcasting Standards Council and Section 5 of the Canadian Television Broadcasting Regulations
On the June 18, 2012 edition of The Source, host Ezra Levant put forward his 5-point plan to rid Canada of the Canadian Censors Council, or as they like to call themselves, the Canadian Broadcast Standards Council (CBSC). As I wrote last week, membership in the CBSC is 100% voluntary. If you do NOT want a television broadcast license, you have no need to “volunteer” to join … [Read more...]
And in British Columbia the Legalization of Killing Continues…
With the recent decision of a B.C. Supreme Court judge, that province inched one step closer to creating a macabre open season on human beings. In a strange twist of logic, Supreme Court Justice Lynn Smith ruled that the provisions of the Charter of Rights unjustifiably infringe on a disabled person’s life, liberty, and security.[1] If this logic were applied to liberty and … [Read more...]
Alabama vs Agenda 21 and the United Nations. Alabama (and Liberty) Wins!
“Land…cannot be treated as an ordinary asset, controlled by individuals and subject to the pressures and inefficiencies of the market. “Private land ownership is also a principal instrument of accumulation and concentration of wealth and therefore contributes to social injustice; if unchecked, it may become a major obstacle in the planning and implementation of development … [Read more...]
Freedom of Speech, Censorship, Ezra Levant, terrorist-supporting Chiquita Banana Company and the Cdn Broadcast Standards Council
Freedom of speech is such a tenuous Right. Every individual wants to say whatever he or she wants, but invariably demands that everyone else only say what meets with their approval. It's hypocritical but it is the human way. Or maybe it's just the Canadian way, I don't know. Ezra Levant, on his Sun News Network show The Source, invariably pushes the bounds of Freedom of … [Read more...]
Australia’s Olympic Hypocrisy and the Cowardice of Men
Imagine the scene. Britain. The 2012 Olympic Games. The nation that spawned the documents that guaranteed all subjects of the British Empire such terrible things as Freedom of Speech. In the wake of what's happened in Australia this week as the world readies for the Games you could be forgiven for not realizing Australia was part of the great British Empire at one … [Read more...]
David Horowitz’s lecture at UCLA on May 16, 2012
"We live in a time when language has become an obstacle to understanding what's happening." Horowitz nails it in this lecture. I urge you to listen to what he has to say. He gives an in-depth overview of the history of radical Islam and the Lunatic Left's part in bringing it to America. It's an excellent speech by David Horowitz and I'm amazed that it took place at UCLA … [Read more...]
The ongoing abuse of Civil Asset Forfeiture Laws
When policing devolves from solving crimes to seeing how much private property police can seize from citizens there is something very wrong with the focus of our nation, yet under civil forfeiture laws this is precisely what’s happening across Canada and the United States. Like most laws, civil asset forfeiture has, at its heart, good intentions. As the saying goes, … [Read more...]
Farewell, Henry Lamb, Educator About Evils Against Humanity by Jane Gaffin
I’ve been a devout fan and student of Henry Lamb from the minute I came across his columns over 10 years ago on Enter Stage Right which has a permanent home on my Book Bar alongside other carriers of Lamb’s valuable collection. Although a long-time disciple, I knew little about the writer and author personally except that he has dedicated many years to educating the public … [Read more...]
Christian University wants Christian employees? Oh the horror!
Can you imagine a media uproar over a Jewish university wanting to employ Jewish people? Or a Muslim university wanting to employ Muslims? Of course not. So why all the uproar over a Christian university wanting to employ practicing Christians? The answer, of course, is pretty simple. Christianity is currently the only religion that it is politically correct to slander … [Read more...]
Vernon BC’s Lake Country RCMP the latest addition to Police State Canada
Vernon, British Columbia, located in that province's Okanagan Valley, is where constables from the Lake Country RCMP detachment have decided they can do whatever they want; the hallmark of police state tactics. The case revolves around a man and his legally-owned pellet gun that was seized by RCMP constables and was reported by the Vernon Morning Star newspaper on May 16, … [Read more...]
