So much for being a good Samaritan and helping out your neighbour. Dr. Jon Cooper of St. Albert, Alberta was using his quad to clear the snow off of the sidewalks for his neighbours. There are lots of seniors in the area, so he wanted to make sure they would have no trouble getting where they needed to go on foot. He’s been doing this for years. It’s never been a problem … [Read more...]

Ontario Human Rights Commission Creating New “Offenses”
The Ontario Human Rights Commission (OHRC) obviously doesn't have enough real cases of human rights violations to investigate, so they're looking to create some new ones. In a posting on the OHRC website, they've created a survey that's part of a "broader consultation process" into mental health issues. The questions are aimed at learning how discrimination because of a … [Read more...]
Farmers Nab the Thief, RCMP can’t help themselves… and issue a veiled threat
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...]
A Very Bad Day for Baltimore PD
It's the worst thing a cop can imagine. Shoot another cop unintentionally. That's what happened in the early hours of Sunday morning outside a Baltimore nightclub. William H. Torbitt, 33, was shot and killed by a uniformed Baltimore Police officer. That poor guy has got to be feeling sick to death over what happened. He thought he was doing the right thing. He thought … [Read more...]
RCMP Constable Geoff Mantler: Send this Kelowna RCMP Thug to Jail… immediately
It's becoming more and more typical of RCMP these days. Beat the crap out of you first, ask questions later. Oh, and charge you with a crime so you can't sue... can't forget about that! You'll ABSOLUTELY want to watch the video below. Then you'll want to watch the news story on this event on the Globe and Mail's website. They do a closeup on the cop kicking this poor guy … [Read more...]
Father of murdered 9-year-old speaks out
It will break your heart to listen to him in this Fox News interview.... the father of the little girl murdered by the lunatic in Tucson Arizona speaks out about what happened, and what he thinks should be done in the wake of his young daughter's death. Like Suzanna Gratia Hupp in 1991, John doesn't believe the answer is to blame the gun, to blame the inanimate object. And … [Read more...]
Ontario Human Rights Commission out of control
The Ontario Human Rights Commission is completely out of control. First, they've ruled that a private Catholic School Board has no right to fire someone who doesn't share their beliefs. That's absurd. "Discrimination" is not a bad thing. Every human being does it every single day. What business will I patronize? What restaurant? What school will I send my children … [Read more...]
Man defends himself, gets charged, while attempted murderers run free
Here is another case that absolutely disgusts me. Ian Thomson ran out of his house as three masked thugs were firebombing it. They were trying to kill him by burning his house down with him inside it. Any rational person would imagine that Thomson was fearing for his life as he came outside with a firearm and fired a warning shot to scare the thugs away. It worked. They … [Read more...]
Class-less Cops ticket teenager in a coma
At least one Las Vegas police officer has absolutely no class. A 13-year-old is in a coma after being hit by a car that tossed her 125 feet in the air. She's fighting for her life, yet the Las Vegas Police Department is so completely devoid of empathy or common decency that they hand the poor girl's distraught mother a ticket for jaywalking. Wow. Was that really … [Read more...]
Rep. Marsha Blackburn introduces bill to stop US FCC’s control of the internet
I'm very pleased to see that Rep. Marsha Blackburn has introduced legislation to block the Federal Communications Commission's desire to "oversee" the internet. The absolute last thing the internet needs is more bureaucratic interference. What's distressing about her move though, is that she's claiming that Congress is the only body that should have the power to control the … [Read more...]
Good to be son of a cop when you’re busted with an illegal handgun!
Wow... it's gotta be nice, you know? Being the son of a prominent Toronto City Police narcotics officer, that is, when you're caught with drugs and an illegal handgun. Andrew Canepa is the son of Detective-Constable Tony Canepa. He was arrested for possession of an illegal .45 calibre Smith and Wesson revolver on December 14, 2008 when he was 18 years old. Here we are two … [Read more...]
Is Ignatieff really that out of touch with Dallaire’s [in]actions in Rwanda?
It would seem that Liberal Leader Michael Ignatieff is totally out of touch with the reality of what happened in Rwanda under the watch of Canadian General Romeo Dallaire. In a recent Twitter post, Ignatieff praised Dallaire for his defense of human rights. Nothing could be further from the truth than saying that Dallaire is a "defender" of human rights. Why do I say … [Read more...]
Another senseless police death, this time Police Chief Ralph Painter
A 21-year-old man was wounded and arrested after he first disarmed and murdered Rainier Oregon Police Chief Ralph Painter. The scene? a car audio store in a mall. Painter had responded to the burglary call. Early reports say a struggle happened where the 21-year-old Daniel A. Butts [allegedly] disarmed the Chief and murdered him with his own sidearm. Rainier isn't a … [Read more...]
Canada’s Firearms Act is a Success!!! NOT.
It's a classic case, really. "A Toronto man" who already has two separate lifetime firearms prohibitions against him gets arrested. Again. With a handgun. His first firearms prohibition came in 2009 after he was caught with a loaded .357 magnum handgun the year prior. His second lifetime firearms prohibition came after he was sentenced to, get this, three years … [Read more...]
New Year’s Day tragedy leaves Ohio Deputy dead
This case sucks. I mean it really sucks. Some slimebag decided New Year's Day is a good day to shoot up his neighbour's trailer. The neighbour called the police. Go figure. That's where it gets really bad, really fast. Deputy Suzanne Waughtel-Hopper was apparently the first on the scene. She'd been sent there by dispatch after the report of shots fired came in. She … [Read more...]
Bruce Montague’s Parole Hearing
As you're probably aware, this morning at 11am Bruce Montague had a parole hearing that will determine if he is released from the Thunder Bay correctional facility where he's currently being held. The reports so far are that the hearing went well, but there has been no decision released. If you're the praying kind, I know that Bruce and Donna Montague would really … [Read more...]
Ontario Ombudsman Report on G20 Police-State Tactics
Police misconduct and thuggery ran rampant during the recent G20 event held in Toronto, Ontario. Some rose to infamy, like "Officer Bubbles". I haven't heard anything recent about his attempt to sue YouTube for posting videos that mocked him for being [allegedly] a complete and utter jerk. Others attempted to hide who they were and were apparently reprimanded, and at least … [Read more...]
Aaron Zelman of JPFO dies at 64
I was shocked when I got the email from Jane Gaffin this afternoon telling me that Aaron Zelman of the Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership (JPFO) had passed away on December 21st, 2010. It was like being gut-punched, not because I knew Aaron well... I didn't. We'd corresponded many times over the years about our common issue, and I'd had a lot of fun writing for … [Read more...]
