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...]
A Victory for Privacy Rights! Conservatives Kill Bill C-30
Never let it be said that you can’t make a difference. When the Conservatives introduced Bill C-30, titled the Protecting Children from Internet Predators Act, Vic Toews said anyone who didn’t agree with the bill was standing “with the child pornographers”. In light of that stand, I suppose it’s reasonable to conclude Vic Toews is now standing “with the child … [Read more...]

Ian Thomson was acquitted of unsafe storage of firearms charges on January 3, 2013. You can download the full transcript of the decision here: http://rightsandfreedoms.s3.amazonaws.com/pdf/THOMSON-IAN-TRANSCRIPT_20130103.pdf While I personally haven't read it fully yet, I'm told it makes for some interesting reading.

Must be nice to be a Corrupt Toronto Cop at Sentencing Time
I truly get sick of seeing corrupt policemen, instead of receiving prison time for their crimes, be rewarded for them instead by our asinine justice system. Clearly judges in Ontario are taking lessons in stupidity from B.C. Supreme Court Judge Janice Dillon, who sentenced former RCMP Corporal Monty Robinson to a whopping 30 days of house arrest for obstruction of justice … [Read more...]
San Antonio – The Theatre Shooting You’ve Never Heard Of
Does anyone aside from me find it bizarre that the mainstream press utterly ignores shootings where the would-be mass killer is stopped by a good guy with a gun? The restaurant and theatre shooting in San Antonio, just 2 days after the school shooting tragedy in Connecticut, is basically a ghost story as far as the mainstream media is concerned. Outside of “pro-gun” … [Read more...]
The sign you’ll NEVER see posted on Nancy Pelosi’s front door, but she insists be post on yours.
As I wrote the other day in "And the 2012 Hypocrisy Award goes to…", anti-gun hypocrites believe guns in their hands (or the hands of their publicly-funded security agents) are absolutely fine... it's guns in the hands of we mere citizens that they think are the big problem. The gun-banning fanatics insist that if we just took all the guns guns away from those regular folk … [Read more...]
The Lesson of Ben Comen (and your New Year’s Resolution)
Ben Comen is a runner. Specifically, he's a cross country runner. He's never won the Olympics, nor is he likely to. In fact, Ben will never make it to the Olympics other than as a spectator. So what lesson can a runner you've never heard of, and who has never won a Gold medal at the Olympics possibly teach you? Possibly the most important … [Read more...]
Do Americans Have Civil Rights? Not any more thanks to the US Senate…
Americans had, up until just a few days ago, rights guaranteed under the United States Constitution. That obviously bothered US Lawmakers, who stripped the National Defense Authorization Act of 2013 (NDAA) of one very important amendment: the one ensuring that American citizens and any persons in America legally would be assured a jury trial. A … [Read more...]
Canadian Sheeple are no better than their American Cousins!
On December 4th, 2012, I wrote an article titled “30% of Americans are Nanny State Sheeple” in which I asked the question What's become of the "Greatest Nation on Earth"? In that article I discussed my abject horror with a study showing over 30% of Americans would willingly submit to oral, anal and vaginal cavity searches if it meant they could … [Read more...]
Hypocritical Anti-Gunners: Be Very Careful What You Wish For
Anti-gun zealots get a lot more than they bargained for after publishing the names and home addresses of New York handgun permit holders. On December 24, 2012, The Journal News got up on it's high horse and published an article titled "The gun owner next door: What you don't know about the weapons in in your neighborhood", which included links … [Read more...]
