As you may already know, Christine Van Geyn, Litigation Coordinator for the Canadian Constitution Foundation (CCF), took the federal government to court over their use of the Emergencies Act to end the Trucker Protest in Ottawa earlier this year. While Justin Trudeau and his Liberal government claimed they had to do it, most saw this as a purely political act as well as a … [Read more...]
Is Jagmeet Singh the Best Scam Artist in Ottawa?
NDP leader Jagmeet Singh has, arguably, the best job in Canadian politics. He's the leader of a national, if tiny, federal political party. He gets paid (I cannot bring myself to say 'earns') a $185,800 salary as a Member of Parliament, with an additional $62,900 party leader bump. For the non-mathlete's among us, that's a cool $248,700 per year. And that's before the … [Read more...]
The Next 2-Minute Freedom Challenge Starts Today

Elections Canada: 200,000+ Mail-In Ballots Not Counted in 2021 Election
On January 31st, Elections Canada released their initial report about the 2021 federal election. You can be forgiven for not noticing their news release. The only mainstream news outlet to carry the report was Blacklock's Reporter, who ran the story under the headline, "Over 200,000 Ballots Not Counted". Blacklock's noted, "The agency sent ballot kits to 1,274,447 … [Read more...]
Joël Lightbound: Unexpected Courage From Inside the Liberal Caucus
I watched Liberal MP Joël Lightbound's entire 56-minute press conference yesterday in stunned silence. His speech was the bravest political act I've witnessed in decades. He was measured, thoughtful and sincere - the polar opposite of his party's leader. He called out Justin Trudeau for his abusive name-calling and crass political opportunism, then demanded it must stop; … [Read more...]
Erin O’Toole Blames Everyone But Himself Right to the Bitter End
A prime tenet of military leadership is Extreme Ownership, made famous by Navy Seals Jocko Willink and Leif Babin in their book of the same name. The concept is simple. Leadership, at every level, is the most important factor in whether a team succeeds or fails. As MP Bob Benson put it yesterday, "Leaders should be judged by their own actions and their performance … [Read more...]
Largest Poll Ever Conducted Overwhelmingly Opposes Vaccine Mandates
We've all seen our share of polls telling us how vile unvaccinated humans are, how they should be locked up, fined for non-compliance with COVID-19 health measures and banned from medical treatment altogether. The problem with every one of those polls is they're skewed by fear, by anonymity, misleading questions and a flat-out refusal to accept any true scientific discussion … [Read more...]
Liberals Launch Mandatory Vaccination Trial Balloon to Capitalize on Hatred and Division
The day I read that Austria made COVID vaccinations mandatory for every citizen I knew it was only a matter of time before Justin Trudeau would find such a dictatorial order too juicy to pass up. Then, right on cue, Trudeau’s Health Minister floats the trial balloon to gauge the public's willingness to accept such a draconian order. “Discussions need to be had about … [Read more...]
Is Justin Trudeau projecting his issues onto others when he calls Unvaccinated Canadians Racist, Misogynist?
Justin Trudeau made headlines this past week, first, for a video clip conservatives edited to give the false impression Trudeau said the opposite of what he actually said and second, for his comments to a Quebec television station where he called anyone who disagreed with his opinion on vaccinations racists and misogynists. This is a complete reversal of his statement just a … [Read more...]
As Violent Repeat Offenders Ply Their Wicked Trade, Liberal Govt Focuses on Licensed Gun Owners
We live in an increasingly bizarre world where wrong is deemed right, and law-abiding citizens are treated like criminals. Marco Mendicino, Canada's latest Public Safety Minister, boasted this nonsense on Twitter: "This is a government that is prepared to take the steps that are necessary. We’ve already put into place additional restrictions and prohibitions on … [Read more...]
Erin O’Toole’s Election Dilemma: How to Stop Sounding Like Trudeau
The key to winning an election is to offer policy solutions that set you apart from your rivals in the minds of voters. And this is where Erin O’Toole utterly fails. For 18 months he’s been Trudeau’s "yes-man" on almost every major issue that matters to Canadians. Driving Canada’s debt to a record high? (Trudeau spent more last year than all other Prime Ministers … [Read more...]
Where are the Defenders of Religious Freedom?
Independent MP Derek Sloan and independent Ontario MPP Randy Hillier are the only two politicians I’m aware of who dare defend the right of Canadians to worship God during COVID. So where are the rest of the politicians defending the fundamental religious freedoms of Canadians? This question immediately brings to mind that famous scene from Ferris Bueller’s Day Off when … [Read more...]
Premier Doug Ford Does the Unthinkable and Admits He was Wrong
Full marks for courage and character for Ontario Premier Doug Ford. He did what no other Canadian government official has done since COVIDiocy overtook the nation: he admitted he made a mistake. Premier Ford made the admission at his press conference yesterday, April 22, 2021. Now, if only other High Priests and High Priestesses of COVID (I'm talking to you, Bonnie Henry … [Read more...]
Municipal Police to Doug Ford: Never Go Full Retard
2021-04-18 18:45 Updated to include the 43 municipal police agencies who refused to obey Doug Ford's illegal/unconstitutional order. It's now clear (if it wasn't before) that Ontario Premier Doug Ford and his so-called 'conservative' government has completely lost the plot. While more and more American states end their lockdowns and mask orders, Doug Ford decided … [Read more...]
Lawyers, Carry a Gun to Protect Yourselves says Philippine DOJ Chief
"The first thing we do, let's kill all the lawyers," William Shakespeare famously said. In the Philippines, it appears someone (many argue it is Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte) took Shakespeare's words to heart. From 2006 to 2019, between 43 and 61 lawyers and other court staff were murdered. Many others were attacked but survived the attempt on their lives. The … [Read more...]
Promise Made Promise Broken: The Conservative Party’s Election Expense Rebate Clawback Debacle

BC’s Bill 4, Firearm Violence Prevention Act Makes Illegal Guns ‘Even More Illegal’
Mike Farnworth, Minister of Public Safety and Solicitor General, claims Bill 4, the Firearm Violence Prevention Act, will miraculously stop criminals who routinely ignore the Criminal Code of Canada. I think he’s drunk too much of his own KoolAid. “Gang members will have fewer options to buy, transport or possess real and imitation firearms under new legislation devised … [Read more...]
Minister Blair: Are you Ignorant? Or do you actually believe the lies you peddle in Parliament?
How many lies can Public Safety Minister Bill Blair spin in under 60 seconds? How fast can Shannon Stubbs, CPC critic for Public Safety, slap them down? Watch this short video and find out! [Read more below the video] https://youtu.be/1Zvu9CD4WR0 A small sample of Shannon Stubbs efforts to set the record straight on a litany of Liberal Lies in the House of Commons … [Read more...]
David Lametti Drops Mandatory Minimums for Serious Firearm Offences
Justice Minister David Lametti's performance during last Thursday's press conference for Bill C-22 rivalled Justin Trudeau's or even William Shatner's for overacting. "We're turning the page on a FAILED [overemphasised for dramatic effect] Conservative criminal justice policy." "It was an approach that did NOT [overemphasised for dramatic effect] make our communities … [Read more...]
Bill Blair Enrages Liberals’ Most Ardent Supporters with C-21
It's fascinating to watch Bill Blair get roasted for 'betraying' a host of lobby groups who want the government to confiscate my legally-acquired and legally-owned firearms but those same lobby groups refuse to support Firearm Prohibition Order Reform to keep illegal guns out of the hands of convicted violent criminals. Their position is a little bizarre, to be honest. I … [Read more...]
Smuggled Guns: Was Defeating Bill C-238 the right choice?
On January 27th, 2021, Liberal, Green and NDP MPs defeated Conservative MP Bob Soroya’s Private Members Bill C-238 – intended to increase penalties for anyone possessing a smuggled firearm – by a vote of 171 to 150. At best, it was a well-intentioned but poorly-drafted solution to the problem of smuggled guns. At worst, it was an abject failure to comprehend Section 96 of … [Read more...]
Who is Erin O’Toole? Someone I can’t vote for, says guest columnist Robert Alexander
On Monday, February 8th, CPC National Campaign Manager Fred DeLorey sent an email asking the question, "Who is Erin O'Toole?" Robert Alexander answers Mr. DeLorey's question in today's guest commentary. Dear Fred, Who is Erin O’Toole? Someone I can't see myself voting for, that's who. That man is neither my idea of a leader nor of a modern … [Read more...]
Joe Biden: America’s Gun Salesman of the Month for January 2021
Democrat American presidents are great gun salesmen. Newly sworn in Joe Biden is no exception according to data released by the FBI. In January 2021, over 4.3 million background checks were initiated by the FBI’s National Instant Criminal Background Check (NCIS) system, the highest total ever, making Joe Biden America's 'Gun Salesman of the Month' for January … [Read more...]
Erin O’Toole’s Public Perception Problem
Think Titanic and Iceberg. We all know who wins, the Titanic’s ‘unsinkable’ billing notwithstanding. Erin O'Toole’s ship slammed into the Iceberg of public opinion sometime in late September 2019. Since then, every move the new Conservative Leader made ripped new and bigger holes in the ship’s hull. Today, the good ship O'Toole is sinking and sinking fast. This is a … [Read more...]
Parliament Talks Smuggled Guns and Mandatory Minimums
Parliament resumed this morning and MPs from across the country were chomping at the bit to make their first speeches on Bill C-238 in the House of Commons. Here are some of the highlights and lowlights via the Hansard for Monday, January 25, 2021. Kristina Michaud (Bloc Québécois) Avignon—La Mitis—Matane—Matapédia, QC I am very pleased to speak to gun control, … [Read more...]
Erin O’Toole: Your Hypocrisy is Showing
On Monday, January 18, 2020, Press Progress ‘broke’ a story fed to them by a Conservative Party insider that Derek Sloan, one of the contenders in the recent Conservative Party leadership contest, accepted a donation of $131 from a ‘neo-Nazi.’ “Conservative Party of Canada Confirms Conservative MP Derek Sloan Accepted Donation From Neo-Nazi” screamed the headline. “Mr. … [Read more...]
Did Navdeep Bains Quit or did Justin Trudeau Force Him Out?
On January 11, 2020, Navdeep Bains – the former Minister of Innovation, Science and Industry – resigned his cabinet post. Bains also announced he would not run in the widely anticipated spring pandemic election. With no election officially in sight and a Liberal Party actively seeking candidates to run in the next campaign, why would Bains bow out now? My guess is Navdeep … [Read more...]
15 Signs of an Abusive Relationship: Government Edition
How do you know if you’re in an abusive relationship with your government? If your government tells you not to see your friends and family, you’re in an abusive relationship with your government. If your government says you must ask for their permission before leaving the house, you’re in an abusive relationship with your government. If your government tells you what … [Read more...]
Government Power Always Comes From the Barrel of a Gun
“Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun.” It’s said that Mao Zedong, the most famous of Justin Trudeau’s dictatorial Chinese idols, first uttered this maxim on August 7, 1927. I think it was Naheed Nenshi, Calgary’s Masked Mayor, on December 18, 2020. For the sake of today’s political commentary, I’m going to attribute this quote to Calgary Mayor … [Read more...]
Are Your Ready for a Pandemic Spring Election?
I've said for a while that Justin Trudeau wants a spring election. A Friday afternoon funding announcement is one more indicator that The Shiny Pony does indeed intend to send Canadians to the polls for a pandemic election. How he will engineer the fall of his own government remains to be seen. On December 11th, the Trudeau government quietly rolled out their latest climate … [Read more...]
