Bill 36: Stripping Property Rights from Albertans

Published March 12, 2012 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Charter of Rights and Freedoms Breaches, Property Rights, Rights


Alison Redford's so-called conservative government's decision to implement Bill C-36, The Land Stewardship Act, which effectively gives control of all land in Alberta to the provincial government, is a death blow to property rights in Alberta. Under this law, government bureaucrats will now dictate to land owners what they can and cannot do on their own land. If this sounds … [Read more...]

Everybody Has Heard of Agenda 21; Most Just Don’t Know It

Published March 11, 2012 by Jane Gaffin Filed Under: Charter of Rights and Freedoms Breaches, Guns, Property Rights, Rights


I can ask people if they have heard of Agenda 21. The inevitable answer is “no”. The response to my short explanation is either met with disdainful silence or with a “you don’t know what you’re talking about” retort. If I ask the same people the same question 30 days later they still say “no” they haven’t heard of Agenda 21. Obviously, my explanation didn’t register with … [Read more...]

Sack the Menacing Marxist Agenda 21 and Subsidiary Programs

Published February 23, 2012 by Jane Gaffin Filed Under: Political Corruption, Politics, Property Rights, Rights


When politicians were in full cry about the benefits of linking the state of Alaska with Canada's province of British Columbia via rail back in 2004, the only thing I could visualize the trains hauling was human cargo. One reason I envisioned something akin to the Jews and Gypsies herded onto cattle cars for their trip from Eastern Europe to the Nazi concentration camps is … [Read more...]

Gun Owners Continue to Face Criminal Charges for a Law That Doesn’t Exist

Published February 15, 2012 by Jane Gaffin Filed Under: Big Brother, Bureaucratic Incompetence, Canada's Firearms Act, Charter of Rights and Freedoms Breaches, Constitutional Violations, Gun Politics, Guns, Property Rights, Rights


I am flipping tired of the unmitigated hubris that continues to spur Canada’s game-playing cops and court system in their indefatigable zeal to prosecute innocent gun owners with the same pesky, recycled sections of the Canadian Firearms Act. In order to demonize gun owners to the hilt, the Government of Canada saw its way clear, at the behest of the United Nations, to dump … [Read more...]

Sustainability and a Free Society Are Not Compatible

Published January 30, 2012 by Jane Gaffin Filed Under: Big Brother, Property Rights, Rights


A conservative-minded individual passes through several distinct stages before he is enveloped by the Marxist-Leninist ideology. First, he rants that the philosophy is damnable, dangerous, disorderly, counter-opposed to law and the Christian faith and is a scourge to a "free society". Next, he is brainwashed to believe he has no rights and tires of standing up for some … [Read more...]

Oak Park Garden Nazi backs down from sending Julie Bass to prison for growing a garden

Published August 14, 2011 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Abuse of Police Authority, Big Brother, Property Rights


Thanks to my great friend Jane Gaffin for that awesome line... "Oak Park Garden Nazis."  What else do you call the bureaucratic buffoon who threatens to send someone to prison for three months for the heinous crime of growing a vegetable garden on her own property? Julie Bass is a homeowner in Oak Park, Michigan.  Her front yard was torn up by city workers when they were … [Read more...]

Governments Want Total People Control

Published March 19, 2011 by Jane Gaffin Filed Under: Abuse of Police Authority, Charter of Rights and Freedoms Breaches, Constitutional Violations, Police, Privacy Rights, Property Rights, Rights


“Unbelievable” was my first reaction when I started reading about the Polk Parkway tollbooth in the Tampa area that doesn’t like cash. As I read on, I realized this was more than a government snafu; it was another blatant display of people-control where the taxpayers are both the victims and financiers of the same criminal enterprise. Am I surprised to hear that a … [Read more...]

The Time for Compromise is Over

Published February 26, 2011 by Jane Gaffin Filed Under: Abuse of Police Authority, Big Brother, Property Rights, Rights


Individual landowners are feeling queasy these days. They see the legal secure tenure to their privately-owned property weakening while the government arbitrarily extinguishes land titles through a constant stream of illegal and unconstitutional forfeiture and “civil remedy” laws. Additionally, people are finding public lands sealed off to commercial ventures such as … [Read more...]

Common Sense FINALLY invades Clarington, Ontario, City Hall

Published February 16, 2011 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Abuse of Police Authority, Property Rights


You might remember the case of Marta & Lech Jaworski.  They’re the bed & breakfast owners in rural Ontario who let their son Peter use their property each summer for the past ten years to host a conference on freedom and liberty issues. Well, last summer some unknown person or persons (the complaint was anonymous, naturally) complained about the event, which brought … [Read more...]

Katey Montague’s new video on the Ontario Govt’s Seizure of Family Home

Published February 15, 2011 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Common Sense, Property Rights


Katey Montague, the daughter of former Ontario gunsmith Bruce Montague, has just released another video update on the decision by the Ontario Government to steal the Montague family home using Ontario's Civil Remedies Act.  This is legislation that was supposedly to be used against drug dealers and organized crime, but is now being used against ordinary citizens the government … [Read more...]

Montana Lawmakers’ new proposal is awesome!

Published January 16, 2011 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Property Rights


Montana, the land of big skies, also likes big freedom.  In the wake of US federal government stupidity, specifically the tactics of the abusive Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (BATF), Montana passed a law that said all firearms that were manufactured, sold and kept inside the state borders were immune to federal regulations. The Montana Firearms Freedom Act, in … [Read more...]

Farmers Nab the Thief, RCMP can’t help themselves… and issue a veiled threat

Published January 10, 2011 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Property Rights


Two farmers, father and son, catch a would-be thief on their farm in Trochu, Alberta, stealing from them. They apprehend him.  They leave him hogtied on the ground until the RCMP can come pick him up. Two central Alberta farmers served up some cold hard justice to an alleged fuel thief on their property, leaving him tied up and pantless in the snow until Mounties … [Read more...]

Ontario’s Attorney General’s Office Angry about public scrutiny in home seizure case

Published November 7, 2010 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Abuse of Police Authority, Property Rights


Crown Counsel James McKeachie is very annoyed with the Montague family for making public the letter he wrote to them where he spelled out his intention to take their family home using Ontario's Civil Remedies Act. They posted his letter on the website about their legal challenge to Canada's Firearms Act, www.BruceMontague.ca. McKeachie's letter, dated the day the Supreme … [Read more...]

Ontario’s Attorney General’s Office Angry about public scrutiny in home seizure case, Part 4 of 4

Published November 6, 2010 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Abuse of Police Authority, Property Rights


And what happens to all the money and property seized? Well, of the $13.4 million seized in Ontario since 2003, only $1.2 million has been turned over as compensation to "victims of unlawful activity", whatever that phrase means. Almost half of it, $5.7 million has been handed back to law enforcement agencies in the form of grants. Five times as much money is given … [Read more...]

Ontario’s Attorney General’s Office Angry about public scrutiny in home seizure case, Part 3 of 4

Published November 5, 2010 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Abuse of Police Authority, Property Rights


Donna Montague was not impressed. "At every stage of this process, whenever we've 'negotiated' with them, we've been railroaded," she said. "The search warrants were illegal.  They said that for our Constitutional challenge to go forward we had to drop our challenge of them.  After they arrested Bruce, did the first search and were holding Bruce in jail, they threatened … [Read more...]

Ontario’s Attorney General’s Office Angry about public scrutiny in home seizure case, Part 2 of 4

Published November 4, 2010 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Abuse of Police Authority, Property Rights


McKeachie, and through him the Attorney General's office as a whole, was being forced to answer for his actions to the public.  He doesn't like that at all.  Why should the Ontario Attorney General's office or McKeachie personally be upset about public scrutiny of this case? Openness and transparency should be the hallmark of government. After all, the Attorney General … [Read more...]

Ontario’s Attorney General’s Office Angry about public scrutiny in home seizure case, Part 1 of 4

Yukon Puts Proceeds of Crime Act on Hold Indefinitely

Published November 1, 2010 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Property Rights


Justice Minister Marian Horne, during the debate on the budget last week, told the Yukon Assembly the government will not move forward with their proposed Civil Forfeitures Act until the public has been "consulted". It's a shocking move for a government to take, given the optics of "getting tough with criminals" looks so good.  Standing up for law and order and all that.  … [Read more...]

Word of Montague Home Seizure by Ontario Gov’t Spreads

Published October 9, 2010 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Abuse of Police Authority, Property Rights


Bad news travels fast.  So the old saying goes, I think.  It's certainly true in the case of the Ontario government's intention of stealing the Montague family home while hiding behind the Civil Remedies Act's forfeiture clause for "proceeds of crime". I found a link to the case on some Canadian firearm chat boards, as well as on blogs across the country. My prayer is … [Read more...]

Bankrupting the Jaworski’s for Daring To Host a Freedom Conference

Published September 4, 2010 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Abuse of Police Authority, Property Rights


Property Rights... they don't actually exist in Canada under Trudeau's Charter.  Most don't realize that.  Worse still, Canada's Supreme Court has upheld this fact in the Authorson v. Canada (Attorney General), 2003 SCC 39, [2003] 2 S.C.R. 40. In that case, the SCC upheld Parliament's right to steal veterans pensions, because Parliament had made clear its intent to do … [Read more...]
