Free Speech – Does It Mean What You Think?

Published February 28, 2020 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Freedom of Speech, Rights


Free Speech - What Does It Really Mean?

What does “Free Speech” mean? Not what a lot of people think it does, unfortunately. This column is sparked by a comment published on ChristopherDiArmani.com earlier this month and the US Court of Appeals decision, Prager University vs. YouTube, delivered on February 26, 2020. “Hey. I dont agree with your post but i will defend your right to post it. I would expect you … [Read more...]

Rachel Small: RCMP Due Diligence or Violation of Privacy?

Rachel Small RCMP Due Diligence or Invasion of Privacy?

Did you know the RCMP has a Tactical Internet Intelligence Unit? Or that this unit may scour social media looking for information about you? Neither did Rachel Small, a political activist from Toronto, until a Canadian Press reporter gave her a copy of the RCMP's 6-page report on her. "I found it kind of creepy and unsettling because of the way that they were compiling … [Read more...]

Apple Violates Your Privacy Rights Again

[Update 2020-20-11 22:10 hrs: Added info about Apple suspending its "grading" program and updated links to sources.] "Siri, violate my privacy..." You don't expect your phone or tablet to spy on you. Last year news broke that Siri, Apple's virtual assistant, sends audio of sexual encounters and other private moments recorded without users’ knowledge to human ‘graders’ for … [Read more...]

The Canadian Government’s Scheme to Censor the Internet

Published February 4, 2020 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Freedom of Speech, Politics


1984 is now a Canadian political how-to manual

Freedom of Speech is a fundamental right of all human beings. If this Liberal government wants me to give up right to free speech and beg for their permission to speak they'd best come with a bevy of armed Thought Police thugs because the only way they will shut me up is if they kill me. George Orwell's classic 1984 is not an instruction manual. It's a dire warning about … [Read more...]

Free Speech? No thanks, we’re Canadian.

Published November 6, 2019 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Freedom of Speech


The bullies of the intolerant left succeeded again. They shut down another event where, gasp, people wanted to have an open and frank discussion about media bias and gender identity. In public. It's the "in public" part that caused all the trouble. A group of bullies found the topic, “How Media Bias Shapes the Gender Identity Debate” offensive and in today's world, if … [Read more...]

Freedom of the Press, Alan Forsythe and the Hope Standard

Published November 1, 2019 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Common Sense, Freedom of Speech


Alan Forsythe was fired from The Hope Standard just 7 days after he started his new job due to “concerns about your ability to perform the duties of a journalist in Hope” according to an October 17th letter of termination made public by True North Centre. Then came the outrage on social media. “Canada does not have Freedom Of The Press!!!” wrote @DeniseInCanada in a tweet … [Read more...]

Will Canada’s Battle for Property Rights Begin in Alberta?

Published March 17, 2019 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Elections, Politics, Property Rights, Rights


Will the national battle for the inclusion of property rights in Canada’s constitution begin in Alberta? It will if Jason Kenney leads the United Conservative Party (UCP) to victory in the upcoming Alberta provincial election. “At the heart of our approach is the firm belief that property rights, including landowner rights, are inherent civil rights. What you are seeing … [Read more...]

Washington DC Judge Shuts Down US DOJ Fishing Expedition

Published October 13, 2017 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Freedom of Speech, Privacy Rights


Cops love vaguely-worded search warrants with a wide-open net. Why they love them is no secret. These kinds of search warrants are fishing expeditions. These search warrants are massive gill nets tossed into the ocean of humanity in search of a crime to prosecute. They don't even care which crime. Any crime will do. That's the type of broad warrant the US Department of … [Read more...]

Racist Car Sparks Outrage and Toronto City Council Debate

Published October 4, 2017 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Freedom of Speech


A replica of The General Lee, the signature Dodge Charger from the 1980s television series Dukes of Hazzard, sent Ybia Anderson into a frenzied fit of rage at a classic car show on Saturday, June 17, 2017, part of the Highland Creek Heritage Festival. "This racist car, with not one but two Confederate flags on it..." A racist car? I had no idea cars could be racist. I thought … [Read more...]

I believe in freedom and liberty, but…

Published October 3, 2017 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Freedom of Speech


Anytime someone says "I believe in freedom, but" you're listening to a person who does not believe in freedom at all. The ongoing war over players kneeling for the national anthem at NFL games is a perfect example. While I, like many, despise the disrespectful actions of those players kneeling for the national anthem, I support their right to do so. It is a valid expression … [Read more...]

Thank God for Andrew Abbass and his Lawyer

Published April 18, 2017 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Freedom of Speech


In the wake of the senseless killing of Don Dunphy by police over a Twitter message, thousands of people demanded and ultimately succeeded in forcing an inquiry into his death. One of those outraged by the killing of Don Dunphy is Andrew Abbass.  Two days after Don Dunphy was killed, Andrew Abbass tweeted about his disgust with the Premier of Newfoundland and government in … [Read more...]

Jordan Peterson: It’s not safe to speak and it never will be

Published April 11, 2017 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Freedom of Speech


Professor Jordan Peterson made international headlines last fall for his staunch refusal to kneel at the feet of the Pronoun Police. That infuriated the intolerant ones, all of whom insist there can be only one opinion: theirs.  All others must be silenced. Professor Peterson refused to be cowed by those "clouds of gnats" and stood his ground. Despite a 20+ year record of … [Read more...]

Liberal Motion M-103 is my Line in the Sand

Published March 25, 2017 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Freedom of Speech, Sharia Law


Update: Link to MP Voting record on M-103 added to end of article I had no illusions about Conservative Party leadership hopeful Michael Chong. I knew he would vote in favour of Liberal Iqra Khalid's Motion M-103. I was surprised, however, to see Conservative MP Bruce Stanton join Michael Chong for a big gulp of Liberal Koolaid. Michael Chong is a conservative in name … [Read more...]

An Open Letter to Jati Sidhu, MP (Mission — Matsqui — Fraser Canyon)

Dear Mr. Jati Sidhu, MP (Mission — Matsqui — Fraser Canyon) I write to you, my elected representative to Parliament, to urge you to vote against Iqra Khalid's Motion M-103 "Systemic racism and religious discrimination" this week. My rationale is simple. Canada's Charter of Rights and Freedoms guarantees my right to freedom of speech. That right includes the right to … [Read more...]

Asking a Question in English is an Attack on French Language Rights

Published January 20, 2017 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Ethics in Politics, Freedom of Speech, Politics, Rights


I had no intention of revisiting this topic but as I wandered through the snow outside my mountain home I realized I missed the most important point of what Justin Trudeau said. His first thought was not to say, 'Gee, you're right. I screwed up.  It was rude of me not to answer the question in English.'  His first thought was to attack anyone who dared question his elitist, … [Read more...]

Justin Trudeau: Inclusive Really Means to Exclude

Published January 20, 2017 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Ethics in Politics, Freedom of Speech, Politics, Rights


Justin Trudeau is all about open, inclusive government, or so he claims at every opportunity. On January 17th his commitment to inclusiveness revealed itself for what it really is, one more political affectation. On January 17, at a town hall in Sherbrooke, Quebec, an English-speaking Canadian asked our Prime Minister a question. Common courtesy is to answer in the … [Read more...]

Obama Pronouncement on Armed Citizen Saving Lives in Playoffz Nightclub

Published July 2, 2016 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Concealed Carry, Self-Defense


Obama has a stock speech he trots out after every shooting... well, almost every shooting.  He's not much interested when the body count isn't high. In that respect he's just like other anti-gun advocates and the complicit media who panders to and endlessly promotes their stupidity. Each and every one of them gleefully and self-righteously dances in the blood of the dead, … [Read more...]

Media Deathly Silent when 13-year-old boy saves himself by shooting home invaders

Published June 29, 2016 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Self-Defense, Violent Criminals


Home Invader Lamar Brown Dead Accomplice Ira Bennett in Prison

The mainstream media is so predictable and so very pathetic.  They would rather see a 13-year-old dead on the floor of his home than report that the boy shot and killed one the home invaders threatening his life. It sickens me. This story should be on the national news every night for a week. It isn't even mentioned for one very disgusting reason: It doesn't fit with … [Read more...]

Tony Joe Gunter: Why Gun Ownership Trumps Restraining Orders Every Single Time

Published June 26, 2016 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Restraining Orders, Self-Defense


Restraining Order

Tony Joe Gunter is the poster-degenerate for why women should own firearms.  He is, by all accounts I could find, a violent and abusive degenerate of a human being.  His very existence tarnishes the images of real men everywhere. Strong words, yes, but Tony Joe Gunter clearly earned every one of them with his own actions. For the past two years Tony Gunter was involved … [Read more...]
