Staff-Sgt. Travis Pearson has gotten himself into a lot of hot water with his sexual relationship with a subordinate under his command, Constable Susan Gastaldo while she worked for him in 2009 in the "Special O" surveillance unit based in Burnaby, BC. Staff-Sgt. Pearson doesn’t get the #5 spot because I necessarily believe all of Constable Gastaldo’s story. After digging … [Read more...]

Quebec wants a provincial gun registry but doesn’t want to pay for it
Quebec is leading the charge to have a provincial gun registry, but in typical fashion, doesn't want to pay for it. "Quebec should lead the way on provincial registries," Universite de Montreal law professor Stephane Beaulac said. But a Quebec registry is unlikely unless Ottawa lets the province have the data, he said. "It's too cost-prohibitive to start from … [Read more...]
Sgt. Janick Gilbert gave his life to save others
Today is a very sad day at the Canadian Forces Base in Trenton, Ontario. Sgt. Janick Gilbert returned there today after giving his life to save a couple of strangers near Baffin Island in Canada's Artic Region. Gilbert and two other soldiers parachuted into the frigid waters near Igloolik, Nunavut, in an effort to rescue two boaters who appeared to be in serious … [Read more...]
RCMP Corporal Benjamin Monty Robinson: Reason #4 for BC to Dump the RCMP
RCMP Corporal Monty Robinson is pretty much the poster-boy for everything that's wrong with the RCMP, both here in British Columbia and across the nation. Corporal Robinson’s case shows us the stark, horrific reality of the inner workings of the RCMP itself: how the RCMP has no real desire for accountability, the incredible lengths the RCMP will go to in order to … [Read more...]
The Big Lie and Canada’s Doomed Long Gun Registry
With all the weeping, wailing and gnashing of teeth over the impending demise of Canada's failed (and useless and error-ridden) long gun registry, there is a "Big Lie" being spouted off by Windy Wendy Cukier and lying bureaucrats like Belleville Ontario Police Chief Cory McMullan. I say lying because if anyone should know the truth about Canada's "gun control" system it … [Read more...]
Windy Wendy Cukier on Bill C-19: “The sky is falling! The sky is falling!”
As routine as the cuckoo clock bird that chirps with each passing hour, Wendy Cukier can be counted on to toss out a gazillion reasons why the failed and useless "long gun registry" must be maintained... no matter the cost. Statistics on how often police "use" the system... the numbers sound unbelievable ... but that's only because they are... unbelievable, that is. The … [Read more...]
Richmond County Sheriff’s Deputy James D. Paugh: Gunned Down in Cold Blood
It's as tragic as it is horrifying... a disgruntled army soldier decides the best possible course of action is to shoot a policeman in cold blood. Unfortunately for Richmond County Sheriff's Deputy James Paugh, he had just finished a shift and was on his way home near Augusta, Georgia, when his path crossed that of Christopher Michael Hodges. Hodges was a member of the … [Read more...]
“Minor-Attracted Disorder” or… As Pedophiles Devour our Children
It has begun; they have come for the children. First came homosexuality. They said it was just about being left to quietly go about their lives. We gave them that but that wasn’t enough. Then came the attacks on the institution of marriage. Then came the attacks on our sons and daughters in the military. Then came the attacks on groups the Boy Scouts and the Girl Guides. … [Read more...]
Former Aurora, ON Mayor Phyllis Morris finally drops her $6 million lawsuit against bloggers
Some time ago I wrote about the asinine lawsuit filed by a petty politician, Phyllis Morris, over comments made about her during an election... an election in which her past record as mayor came back to bite her in the butt. She lost the election by a landslide not because some bloggers commented about her track record, but because her own actions showed she was not competent … [Read more...]
The Disease of Gilad Shalit
RE: ISRAEL RELEASES OVER 1,000 CONVICTED TERRORISTS, MURDERERS AND CRIMINALS TO SECURE THE RELEASE OF A SINGLE CAPTURED SOLDIER. There are moments in the ebb and flow of life on this planet which give one pause, which give one cause to stop and, looking skyward, wonder if there will ever be an end to the madness.... This is one of those moments. I have always supported … [Read more...]

When two Government Agencies can’t get their act together it’s always the law-abiding who pay the price
This is the classic example of the left hand not knowing what the right hand is doing with a law-abiding citizen being harassed and placed in handcuffs because of the total incompetence of one or more government bureaucrats. It's absurd, asinine, stupid, moronic... I could go on but you get the point. Some jackass bureaucrat at the Canadian Border Services Agency (CBSA) … [Read more...]
Some days there is Justice! When Good Things Happen to Bad People
A scumbag wandered into Del’s 24 Hour Food Store in Naples, Florida, the other day and decided he was going to rob the place. Now, that's bad enough... stealing from some hard-working store owner just trying to make a living. But this particular scumbag decided to compound his stupidity by attempting to steal one of Elizabeth Easterly's babies as well. The unidentified … [Read more...]
The Awesome Ann Barnhardt and her 4-part series titled Islamic Sexuality: A Survey of Evil
If you haven't heard of Ann Barnhardt yet, I've gotta say... I'm surprised. She leapt onto the scene a few months back after some moronic United States Senator decided that tossing out the Constitution in favour of Sharia Law was a fantastic idea. Ann took great offense to this notion and proceeded to tear Lindsey Graham a new asshole because, I imagine, his current one was … [Read more...]
Pedophiles Rights? Over my dead body…
Pedophiles are fighting for "the same rights as homosexuals." They claim they are being discriminated against because of their "sexual orientation" and that sexually desiring children is not a crime but is instead a legitimate activity; that they are not sick, disgusting criminals but simply "minor-attracted people." You can dress it up with as many pretty names as you … [Read more...]
Hypocrisy Reigns Supreme at Ontario Human Rights Commission
I've always believed the Ontario Human Rights Commission (OHRC) is nothing if not useless, stupid and unnecessary. Today I add "hypocritical" to the list of adjectives used to describe this anti-freedom, anti-private property government thugocracy. Earlier in the year the OHRC was bored and started paging through the classified ads sections of Ontario newspapers, combing … [Read more...]
Terrorism Law: A War on Internet
All levels of government are trying to feed balderdash to ordinary Canadians as a way of brainwashing them into feeling guilty unless they willingly accept reverse onus (guilty as charged and no way to prove innocence) without uttering a whimper or protest to unwarranted Internet surveillance. (Translation: stupid, low-life minions aren’t trustworthy or deserving, let alone … [Read more...]
Walker Police Officer Trevor Slot: Killed in the Line of Duty
Today I'm writing to honour Walker Police Department Officer Trevor Slot, who was murdered on October 13, 2011 by a couple of scumbags who had just robbed a bank. I've been writing a lot about the kind of cops we do NOT want here in British Columbia recently, so I thought I'd give an example of the kind we do want. Officer Slot is, as far as I have been able to … [Read more...]
Lisa Cheryl Dudley: Reason #3 to Dump the BC RCMP
Well, my original pick for the number 2 spot, RCMP Corporal Monty Robinson, just keeps getting kicked further down the list. Today I bring you instead my Reason #3 for British Columbia to dump the RCMP: Lisa Cheryl Dudley. Lisa Dudley would be alive today if it were not for the ineptness of the RCMP Constable sent to investigate 6 gunshots at the residence where she … [Read more...]
Edible Canada Restaurant bans men from peeing while standing up. Gotta love the Loony Left Coast!
Hello Christopher.... A Vancouver restaurant, Edible Canada, bans men from peeing standing up...... The restaurant, located on Vancouver's trendy Granville Island, is the latest to issue stupid edicts to its patrons..... You can't make this stuff up.....and wait!!!!......It gets better.......not only are men banned from peeing standing up.....but urination and defecation … [Read more...]
Trash Police March on Homes
From our friends in the UK comes a tale of environmental woe: Robin Hood always feared the Sheriff of Nottingham, but always managed to get the better of him. Robin robbed the rich to give to the poor. The people of Nottingham, UK need Robin back soon because the local Sheriff’s department have found ways to rob the poor to give to the rich. In 2010, the Council of … [Read more...]
RCMP Constable Andy Yung: Reason #2 to Dump the BC RCMP
Anyone reading my articles about thuggish RCMP constables and corporals will no doubt be a little surprised by my choice of RCMP Constable Andy Yung as my #2 reason for getting the RCMP out of British Columbia. He certainly would never have been my first choice if he hadn't hit the headlines just this past week. There is one man who had this spot locked up solid (RCMP … [Read more...]
25 reasons BC should get rid of the RCMP, starting with Reason #1: Ian Bush
This is the first in a series of articles where I advance the premise British Columbia should kick the RCMP out of the province and raise the BC Provincial Police from the ashes of history. There are a ton of reasons why this is a good idea, but I will begin this series with the case of Ian Bush. I could start elsewhere, to be sure, but the case of Ian Bush shows with … [Read more...]
Keith Gregory Wiens: Another BC Justice System Outrage
There's nothing more heinous than a man murdering his wife, and nothing outrages the public more than releasing that [alleged] murderer on bail, apparently just because he's an ex-RCMP member. I've written alot about the double-standard for treatment of [alleged] criminals and ex-RCMP Corporal Keith Wiens is yet another stunning example of why British Columbia needs to get … [Read more...]
Zero Tolerance for Crimes Against Good People
A friend, who has followed my writing for 30 years, recently suggested that I package my articles into a one-volume tome and title it “I Told You So”. While mulling over that vain idea to see if it had merit, I did come across a couple of pertinent pieces “Zero Tolerance for Crimes Against Good People” and another writer’s supporting piece “We Must Be Able to Defend Our … [Read more...]
The lessons of Mary Reynolds and the Detroit Lions and what they mean for us all
This past couple of weeks has been pretty busy for me, so writing for the blog has been temporarily relegated to the back seat. While I've managed to keep to my goal of one new article per day most of the time, this past week has certainly not been one of those times. God decreed that 6 days man shall work, and the 7th he shall rest, so that's what I've been doing … [Read more...]
Everyone’s House is His Castle and Fortress
This article is intended as a companion piece to Christopher di Armani’s September 28th post titled Ontario Crown Counsel and OPP Finally Find Some Common Sense. "There exists a law, not written down anywhere but inborn in our hearts; a law which comes to us not by training or custom or reading but by derivation and absorption and adoption from nature itself; a law which has … [Read more...]
