"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...]
The US Government believes you’re a right-wing terrorist if…
The US Government believes you're a right-wing terrorist if... you have a brain and aren't afraid to use it. The US Government routinely demeans, denigrates, ridicules, detests and prosecutes individuals for the "thought crime" of believing what the Constitution of the Constitution of the United States of America actually says. The United States Government has, … [Read more...]
Since the RCMP won’t delete the long gun registry data like the law says, the CSSA wants to make the database completely useless
The Canadian Shooting Sports Association (CSSA) is not impressed with the RCMP's refusal to obey the law and delete long gun records from Canada's useless gun registry. With the passage of Bill C-19 and its Royal Assent on April 5, 2012 all of this data was to be destroyed, but the RCMP has yet to destroy a single record according to sources close to the RCMP. In the … [Read more...]
BC’s new Animal Health Act (Bill 37) is quietly withdrawn due to outcry over prison terms for making fish farm diseases public
There is an old saying that probably began with Freedom of the Press and Freedom of Speech movement in the United States around 1750… “The public has a right to know.” That saying is based on the idea that it is best that we, the people, know what is going on around us, both good and bad. The never-ending battle for Freedom of Speech is based on the conflict between … [Read more...]
Why Toronto City Councillor Adam Vaughan is a complete and utter moron
Toronto City Councillor Adam Vaughan is a complete and utter moron if he thinks that banning the lawful sale of products to law-abiding citizens will have any impact at all on the violent criminals shooting up downtown Toronto. This isn't the first time that the moronic Vaughan has focused on the people who are NOT the problem, and I'm sure it won't be the last time either. … [Read more...]
Is Governor Scott Walker’s victory a sign of Obama’s demise?
Governor Scott Walker is the first governor in American history to survive a recall vote. While the political left will no doubt crawl back under their rocks and ignore this fact, the reality is that everyone from Obama on down did everything they could to get Walker recalled. Obama failed. Big labour failed. Hollywood's celebrities failed. You see, Governor Scott … [Read more...]
Earth Hour 2012: Why and How I will be celebrating this awesome event
Earth Hour is one of the most amazing events of the year. Never have I been so impressed with a cause that has, as its reason for being, the saving of Planet Earth, since Global Warming is going to kill us all. Just ask the same scientists who, only one generation ago, were claiming the world was entering a catastrophic ice age. Thirty years later that same data has them … [Read more...]
Public Safety Minister Vic Toews: Are you really as incompetent as your protestations make you appear?
I couldn't help but laugh as I read reports that Public Safety Minister Vic Toews is suddenly shocked to learn what Bill C-30,the "Protecting Children from Internet Predators Act", actually contains. I find this odd, since I've listened to him defend Bill C-30 repeatedly and blather on endlessly about how police can never abuse their powers under this act; that he is … [Read more...]
Vic Toews: Politicians, like diapers, should be changed often, and for the same reason
While claiming it’s perfectly reasonable for the government to spy on its citizens, the shoe is clearly on the other foot in a lovely social media twist that makes a point to Canada’s Minister of Public Safety, Vic Toews. Toews is very cranky over how his personal life and details of his divorce, infidelity and lack of child support is being displayed very publicly on a … [Read more...]
Vigilantism vs Self-Defense: Why Bob Rae is a buffoon completely out of touch with reality
Interim Liberal Leader Bob Rae is the perfect Liberal. He hates his fellow citizens and believes the State should, indeed MUST be all-powerful, especially when it comes to a monopoly of force. It is the state and ONLY the state who should be able to use force to repel attackers, not mere citizens. For those of us of the lesser class, i.e. not a Liberal politician or a … [Read more...]
NDP’s François Pilon the latest nutbar to buy into Gun Registry Lies and Deceit
It’s really not surprising to find more NDP hacks coming out of the woodwork crowing how the country will collapse into anarchy of the error-riddled gun registry is killed, as Conservatives plan. Clearly looking for some easy and free publicity, Pilon used the Laval Police Department chief as his crutch to stand before the usual media circus to claim “the sky is … [Read more...]
Christy Clark’s Overblown Sense of Entitlement
BC’s unelected Premier, Christy Clark, has really only done one thing since she began her run for the leadership of the BC Liberal Party: campaign. She hasn’t stopped. She’s transformed the Premier’s Office website into a grand spectacle promoting, not British Columbia, but herself. Someone gave me a copy of the Chilliwack Progress published on December 22nd, 2011 … [Read more...]
Bob Rae’s Hypocrisy (and the Liberal Party’s along with it) knows no bounds
Watching the ongoing furor over the living conditions on the Attawapiskat reserve provides some amazing educational moments, if one is paying attention. If you listen only to the mainstream media, you would think the manufactured crisis on Attawapiskat just happened. You certainly are not told the truth of the matter, which is that living conditions on this reserve have … [Read more...]
Poking fun at the NDP “elite”, who clearly know nothing about guns or gun laws
The NDP is trying to make a name for themselves by protecting that most sacred of Sacred Cows in Canadian Politics, the gun registry. It’s failed on every front imaginable, yet even NDP leadership candidate Nathan Cullen, who voted FOR scrapping the registry before, is now “seeing the light” and wants to save the miserable cow. Apparently his constituents have now given … [Read more...]
So much for democracy in the New Democratic Party!
The New Democratic Party’s Interim Leader Nycole Turmel needs to pick up a dictionary and learn some basic facts, such as the definition of “democratic”. Taking great offense at two MPs who voted the will of their constituents and supported the government's bill to kill the long gun registry, Dictator Tumel sanctioned Thunder Bay-Superior North MP Bruce Hyer and Thunder … [Read more...]
Our Canadian Prime Minister, Clarity and Sun Media’s Coverage of 9/11 Anniversary
Hello there, it’s me.........again..... Don Laird... I watched the Sun Media coverage of the 9-11 Remembrance in New York and was very pleased. The points Ezra Levant made were quite relevant and should be made again and again in order to provoke debate and introspective thought. The white washing of Ground Zero is obscene. The eradication of … [Read more...]
Peter Stoffer’s personal pet issue brought forward for the 6th time
The other day I wrote a piece commending NDP MP Peter Stoffer for acting more conservative than the Conservatives for his proposals to remove the GST from books and home heating fuel. I think both his private members bills are worthy of support and still encourage everyone to contact their own MP and recommend a YES vote on those two proposals. Today I'm writing about Mr. … [Read more...]
GST Still on the Books
This submission is offered as a companion to Christopher di Armani’s September 4, 2011 post “Sometimes Politicians Actually Get Something Right” in which he brings to our attention that NDP member of Parliament Peter Stoffer has put forth a proposal to remove the Goods and Services Tax (GST) from reading materials. Twenty years ago, Canadians were promised that by doing … [Read more...]
Of all people, Peter Stoffer astounded me. Sometimes politicians actually get something right
Okay, granted, it's not very often that they get things right, but sometimes they do. I'm specifically talking about a couple of proposals from, of all people, NDP MP Peter Stoffer. Now before you keel over in shock, yes, you are correct. Mr. Stoffer and I do not agree on very many things. That's why I'm as shocked as anyone to see an MP from the party that thinks everyone … [Read more...]
Corrupt and Autocratic Politicians are the same the world over
Sadly, the human condition is one that always seems intent on oppressing our fellow human. Once we get our filthy little paws on even the slightest glimmer of power, it goes straight to our heads and we just can't seem to help ourselves. A while ago I came across a news story that horrified me. Apparently so much that I couldn't even write about it, because when I searched … [Read more...]
