Justin Trudeau’s Evidence-Based Policy on Guns?

Published October 8, 2017 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Ethics in Politics, Gun Control, Gun Politics, Guns, Politics


"And as we face these challenges, the only ideology that must guide us is evidence. Hard, scientific facts and data. It may seem revolutionary in today’s Ottawa, but instead of inventing the facts to justify the policies, we will create policy based on facts. Solutions can come from the left or the right, all that matters is that they work. That they help us live – and thrive – … [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...]

Justin Trudeau’s Hypocrisy on “Open Government”

Published May 21, 2016 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Ethics in Politics


Our very own Shiny Pony, otherwise known as Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, ran on an election platform that promised open government.  He would bring in a new era of openness and transparency in government and allow Canadians to have their say. That idea was so short-lived even _I_ find it hard to believe. For example, The Shiny Pony is demanding electoral reform.  He … [Read more...]

Ethically-Challenged: North Carolina Ethics Commission

Published March 15, 2015 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Ethics in Politics


Ethics, according to the Merriam Webster dictionary, has the following meaning: rules of behavior based on ideas about what is morally good and bad. Its secondary definition is this: ethics : an area of study that deals with ideas about what is good and bad behavior : a branch of philosophy dealing with what is morally right or wrong. I include these definitions of ethics … [Read more...]

Our Elected Representatives – Who do they actually represent?

Published December 11, 2013 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Ethics in Politics, Politics


The vast majority of Members of Parliament are NOT the people’s representative to Ottawa... they are Ottawa’s representative to us. Not exactly the way it’s supposed to work. Currently all parties impose their will upon our so-called elected representatives so the will of we mere citizens is left rotting in the ditch.  This is true of the leadership of the Conservatives, … [Read more...]

MLA Mike Allen – A Politician Resigning in Disgrace? Not Quite.

Published July 27, 2013 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Ethics in Politics, Stupid Human Tricks


An Alberta politician has resigned from the governing Progressive Conservative caucus after being arrested by Minnesota police in a prostitution sting. Mike Allen, the member of the legislature for Fort McMurray-Wood Buffalo, was arrested by St. Paul police Monday night. Allen, 51, was in the city attending a midwestern legislative conference. The story on the website … [Read more...]

A Politician with Integrity? Isn’t that an Oxymoron?

Published July 9, 2013 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Ethics in Politics, Politics


Ask most Canadians today and you will find few who believe a politician is someone they want to emulate.  That’s hardly a surprise.  Politicians on the whole suffer from a lack of integrity. One look at the intentional and unending lying of Liberal Party Leader Justin Trudeau on the issue of speaking fees leaves any rational human being with the feeling they will vomit any … [Read more...]

Senate Scandal: The Federal Conservative Failure

Published May 22, 2013 by Frank Hilliard Filed Under: Ethics in Politics, Political Corruption, Politics


by Frank Hilliard Mike Duffy, my old colleague from CBC's Ottawa Bureau, is the latest failure of the Conservative government of Prime Minister Stephen Harper who appointed him.  He is not the most important because one man can only spend so much on himself. However, he is symbolic; symbolic of the surprising fact he is not alone among policy failures. Canadians think of … [Read more...]

Canada’s Broken Parliamentary System

Published May 5, 2013 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Censorship, Ethics in Politics, Politics


How quickly our elected representatives forget the source of their power: we mere citizens.  I often joke that Members of Parliament are not our representatives to Ottawa but Ottawa’s representatives to us.  It’s a joke, a cruel one at best, and it’s on us. “Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed…” Those simple yet … [Read more...]

Ministry of Truth: British Filmmaker Richard Symons Attempt at Holding Politicians Accountable for Lying

Published May 4, 2013 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Ethics in Politics, Political Corruption, Politics


I discovered a brilliant documentary from Britain titled “Ministry of Truth.” The filmmaker, Richard Symons, is appalled that politicians can lie to the public with impunity. He wanted to bring their rampant hypocrisy to light and interviewed numerous British politicians for the documentary. He starts by asking each politician where they derive their power.  “From the … [Read more...]

In Canada “Hurt Feelings” Trump Actual Rights

Published April 29, 2013 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Elections, Ethics in Politics, Politics


Thomas Paine wrote, in one of his famous Cato Letters, the following statement: He who dares not offend cannot be honest. Thomas Paine lived in a time where honesty was a valued commodity. The notion that truth was not relevant never occurred to Paine and nor should it. In a sane and rational nation there is enough space in the room for two differing opinions. There isn’t … [Read more...]

Liberal Media Claims Another Scalp By Frank Hilliard

Published April 26, 2013 by Frank Hilliard Filed Under: Common Sense, Elections, Ethics in Politics, Personal Responsibility, Politically Correct Madness, Politics


Mischa Popoff was fired last night as the BC Conservative candidate in Boundary-Similkameen for what the party called “insensitive and disrespectful comments” about the Missing Women Inquiry and single mothers. This followed an article in the Vancouver Sun that appeared on the Web last night and in the paper this morning. Here’s a longer quote on what the party found … [Read more...]

Mischa Popoff, a true conservative, runs for BC Conservative Party

Published March 10, 2013 by Frank Hilliard Filed Under: Elections, Ethics in Politics, Politics


Finally we have a true conservative running for a truly conservative party in a province that deeply needs a return to conservative principles. Both of the major parties have shown their moral failures, their lax practices and their lack of vision; it is time for a return to the standards of practice, morality and fiscal prudence we all thought was a norm in Canadian … [Read more...]

What do governments despise most? An Informed Citizenry.

Published November 1, 2012 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Common Sense, Elections, Ethics in Politics, Personal Responsibility, Podcasts, Politics


  [powerpress]   Yesterday I shared with you a video clip from the HBO series “The Newsroom” in which news anchor Will McAvoy makes the bold (and true) statement that "America is NOT the greatest country in the world." While that may have been the most shocking part of the video for many people, it wasn't the most important. No, the most … [Read more...]

Former Obama Supporter: Not saying I’ll vote for Romney, but I’m NOT voting for Obama

Published October 18, 2012 by Editorial Guest Filed Under: Elections, Ethics in Politics, Politics


I am sick and tired of politics! Over the last couple of years, there has been a lot of tension over politics, and that division has intruded into my relationship with family and friends -- particularly now with the upcoming election. In 2008, I voted for Obama. That was my right -- I am a good person and I voted for him for good reasons. But that decision has created … [Read more...]

“Premier Dad” quits suddenly… Good News or the first step to very bad news?

Published October 17, 2012 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Ethics in Politics, Political Antics, Political Corruption, Politics


"Premier Dad", aka Dalton McGuinty, quit his post as Premier of Ontario suddenly and without warning.  While it may be good news for Ontario that the big government Liberal will be gone soon, it may be very bad news for the nation of Canada as a whole. While "Premier Dad" hasn't said anything yet, he also hasn't ruled out a run for the federal Liberal Party leadership in a … [Read more...]

Only Morons praise vice as virtue and slam virtue as vice

Published October 10, 2012 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Elections, Ethics in Politics, Human Depravity, Politics


It has been said many times by better men than I that we live in a world that praises vice and condemns virtue. Never was this more true than in a moronic editorial in the Huffington Post.  Editorial writer (and idiot-in-chief) Will Newman condemns Mitt Romney as a presidential candidate because Romney has never been drunk. What???? This buffoon goes on for ages about … [Read more...]

Rep. Allen West has some choice words for useless US Ambassador to the United Nations

Published October 1, 2012 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Ethics in Politics, Freedom of Speech, Politics, Rights


Allen West

Lieutenant Colonel Allen West (Congressman for Florida's 22 District) is one of my favourite American politicians, and for good reason. He doesn't mince words. He doesn't care of he offends the chuckleheads. He calls things precisely as he sees them and doesn't give a damn if he is "politically correct" when he does it. He despises the cowardice of the Obama … [Read more...]
