The Christopher di Armani-produced Rights and Freedoms Bulletin of April 28, 2012 carried a frustrating article about the federal Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) declaring war on British Columbia’s Fraser Valley farmers. The ditches the farmers dug to drain their land have been designated “fish habitat”. The heavy-handed, gun-toting, jackboot boys told the … [Read more...]

Ted Morton, the destroyer of Albertans’ Property Rights, is booted from the Alberta Legislature
In what ultimately became one of the few bright spots on Election Night for Danielle Smith and the Wildrose Party, Ted Morton lost his seat in the Alberta Legislature. It was with great relish that I took in the news that Bruce McAllister had unseated the wannabe tyrant Ted Morton in the riding of Chestermere-Rocky View. This is significant because Ted Morton was the … [Read more...]
Williams Lake Sportsmen’s Association: “We burned 545 long gun registrations today.”
The Williams Lake Sportsmen’s Association in BC hosted a long gun registration burning party on Sunday, April 22nd at their club grounds. In preparation for this event a number of dignitaries were invited but unfortunately did not attend. Wendy Cukier of the Coalition for Gun Control, an organization which was instrumental at selling a firearms registry to the Federal … [Read more...]
Mining Study Cuts to the Core
(Originally published in the Yukon News, March 20, 2000) Dutch Van Tassell Photo, 2009 “When you push somebody far enough, they will stand up and fight. If they don’t fight for their rights, then they are done for. They are slaves.” -- Jim McFaull (1952 to 2012) -- *** Private property ownership is the cornerstone of any free society. The land issues the late Jim … [Read more...]

RE: BEST BUY doubles down on its financial support of terror-linked CAIR Mr. Mike Mikan CEO (Interim) Best Buy Co Inc. 7601 Penn Avenue South Richfield, MN, USA 55423 Dear Mr. Mikan, I am writing in regards to the recent decision of Best Buy Co Inc. to support and ally itself with the terrorist front group CAIR.

MP Bruce Hyer is Thunder Bay-Superior North’s Representative to Ottawa, NOT Thomas Mulcair’s representative to Thunder Bay-Superior North
NDP Leader Thomas Mulcair has made himself quite clear since he was elected leader of the NDP. He will bring back the failed and useless long gun registry and he will force his caucus to vote his will "or else." That makes one thing absolutely clear. NDP MPs are Thomas Mulcair's representatives to those ridings. They are NOT representing their constituents views to … [Read more...]
Alison Redford: Just the same old political payoffs, not the “renewed party” she claims
Alison Redford will say anything to get elected on Monday. Literally. While she claims that she is the face of a "new Alberta" and the future of hope and change in that province, her actions say quite the opposite. While saying on the one hand she would drop retirement pay for MLAs but in March it was discovered that retiring MLAs are set to walk away from the public … [Read more...]
Danielle Smith’s Speech about the Importance of Monday’s Alberta Provincial Election
[S3AUDIO file='Audio/danielle-smith-the-importance-of-this-election.mp3' authurl='true' autoplay='false' vol='70'] Today I want to talk about the historic choice facing Albertans next Monday. All political leaders talk about the future during election campaigns. It’s our job, to offer a vision of where we want to lead, and how we intend to get there. Our Wildrose party … [Read more...]
Silver Lake, Wisconsin, Police Chief Dan Kingsley has the right idea about firearms
Study after study shows that firearms in the hands of law-abiding citizens reduces crime. In his landmark study of this issue, More Guns, Less Crime, John Lott, Jr. discovered that the paradox was overwhelmingly true. The more firearms there are in the hands of ordinary decent citizens, the less crime there was. Naturally the anti-gun crowd went nuts trying to find some … [Read more...]
Wendy Cukier & Heidi Rathjen, Join The Gun Registration Certificate Burning Party!
That's right... folks across the nation are having parties to burn their long gun registration certificates. It's the best way I can think of to celebrate one small step in the proper direction for the rights of Canadians when it comes to firearms. I wish I'd thought of it before I received Mike Ackermann's photos. All of mine apparently had an accident involving a … [Read more...]
Danielle Smith and Wildrose’s “lack of experience” running deficits or voting themselves 30% pay increases…
During the Leadership Debate last week Alison Redford tossed out the fact that Danielle Smith “had no experience” governing a province as though that was somehow a bad thing. It’s a bizarre statement but one that gains traction with the Chateratti across Alberta, since the drive-by media is always quick to parrot Redford’s blathering verbatim, as though it actually meant … [Read more...]
Freedom of Speech? Not for Christian Pastors in Alberta…
As the lunatic left tries desperately to find some way of slowing down the Wildrose electoral juggernaut, such bastions of tolerance as Warren Kinsella and the Edmonton Journal have declared that pastors have no right to actually write about what they believe. This is hardly surprising from either source, both of whom believe tolerance should only be applied to their views, … [Read more...]
“Gun Control” kills. Here’s how…
The advocates of "gun control" are forever telling us that guns are too dangerous for mere citizens to use. It's just not safe, they say. That mentality has always bothered me because what are police officers except mere citizens with a little training? Anyone can become proficient in the skills needed to handle firearms safely. Training facilities like Front Sight can … [Read more...]
Trayvon Martin Case: when political agendas are more important than the facts
The Trayvon Martin Case has become the classic example of how a political agenda can drive the reporting of a case, and in this case, twists and distorts reality to fit that agenda. Take this photo of Trayvon Martin, for example. This image ran with opinion pieces on this case across the world. Well, you can't call them reporting, since the photo is itself a fabrication … [Read more...]
Danielle Smith’s Unbridled Audacity: Making Alberta Politicians Accountable to Albertans
I’ve got to say… Danielle Smith has a heck of a lot of audacity. Just who does she think she is, anyway? Danielle Smith just put forward the latest plank in her campaign’s election platform that would make Alberta's provincial politicians accountable to the citizens. It’s all contained in her proposed Alberta Accountability Act. It transforms MLAs from being Edmonton’s … [Read more...]
Property Owners Are An Endangered Species
The delegates who heard about the Wildlands Project during a 1998 Alaska Miners Conference may have naively thought the plot too outrageously unrealistic to pay heed to at the relevant time. A reprint of Kathleen Benedetto’s paper in the July/August 1998 Mining Voice warned that the ranting of a handful of radical activists really was a must to be taken seriously. The … [Read more...]
Prince Edward Island renews RCMP policing contract for 20 years
The Government of Canada has been negotiating with provinces for the past four years to renew RCMP policing contracts. On April 2, 2012 the Province of Prince Edward Island announced their new agreement with Ottawa came into effect on April 1, 2012. While some of us in the western provinces might think that is a sick and cruel joke, Prince Edward Islanders appear to be very … [Read more...]
RCMP Cpl. Benjamin Monty Robinson will be sentenced on June 1, 2012
RCMP Cpl. Benjamin Monty Robinson, the man who killed 21-year-old Orion Hutchinson and then left the scene to have a couple of shots of vodka rather than check to see if Hutchinson was still alive, will be sentenced for obstructing justice on June 1, 2012. The sentencing date was set this past Wednesday. Robinson has never been charged with the death of Orion Hutchinson, … [Read more...]
‘Land-Use Planning’ Means Driving People from the Land
Under the United Nations’ Agenda 21--Agenda for the 21st Century--the main thrust is to return all privately-owned property back to public domain. As with the Marxist doctrine, Agenda 21 doesn’t recognize privately-owned property because it is the cornerstone of all free societies. America’s 50 states are being carved into 12 land-planning regions in anticipation of the … [Read more...]
Douglas Ranch: When Property Rights and your sense of entitlement clash, property rights win
There was an odd story emanating from the CBC yesterday (nothing unusual there) where those nasty rich Americans were being mean to honest, hardworking Canadians who just wanted to go fishing. Those so-called nasty Americans are Stan and Ann Kroenke, the owners of the Douglas Ranch, located near Merritt, British Columbia. Those honest, hardworking Canadians are members of … [Read more...]
Finally… one small step away from the Abyss
It’s been a very long time coming, but we’ve finally taken a very small step away from the abyss. As of midnight last night there is no longer a requirement to register non-restricted firearms (most rifles and shotguns) in Canada. The RCMP posted the highlights of the change in law on their Canadian Firearms Program website almost immediately, with the caveat that the … [Read more...]
RCMP Constable Michael Roe arrested, suspended after firing his service pistol inside his home
RCMP Constable Michael Roe, a 24-year veteran of the force, was arrested outside his home by members of the Langley RCMP detachment after neighbours called to report hearing gunshots on Wednesday, March 28, 2012. Constable Roe now finds himself on the wrong side of the law and spent the night in Langley RCMP lockup before being taken for a court appearance at Surrey … [Read more...]
Senator Daniel Lang speaks eloquently about the uselessness of gun registration
Senator Daniel Lang is opposed to gun registration, and for good reason. He comprehends history. Senator Lang represents The Yukon, and was appointed to the Senate by Prime Minister Stephen Harper in 2009. He comprehends the issues that are important to Yukoners and indeed all Canadians. He is one of the sponsors of the bill to end the long gun registry and, to quote … [Read more...]
Meet John Martin, the next MLA for the BC riding of Chilliwack-Hope
John Martin is running in the by-election for the riding of Chilliwack-Hope. He is seeking the seat vacated by former MLA Barry Penner, who retired from politics last year. This by-election is considered a "must-win" for British Columbia's unelected premier Christy Clark, who will not face the voters for at least another year. Mr. Martin is hosting two meet-and-greets at … [Read more...]
If Christians do not believe in self-defense, somebody forgot to tell the good folks at South Side Freewill Baptist Church
South Side Freewill Baptist Church is located in the town of Boiling Springs, North Carolina. It’s a small town of just 4,301 according to the town’s website. One of the debates that will rage on until the end of time is whether or not the Bible teaches self-defense. Personally I believe it does, but that’s not the point. It’s not in debate at all for the parishioners of … [Read more...]
Where no racism exists MSNBC manufactures it
There is a reason that mainstream media outlets are in decline. North Americans are sick and tired of manufactured “stories” that are nothing but a disgrace. The latest example of such despicable tactics comes from NBC News and their so-called “reporting” on the Trayvon Martin shooting in Florida. It’s interesting to note that not a single human being was willing to have … [Read more...]
RCMP Member forgets loaded handgun on BC Ferry. Imagine if you or I did that…
Sometimes things happen. Everyone forgets a bag now and then. It happens to even the most diligent person. But when you are a serving member of the RCMP and your carry bag contains your loaded service pistol... well... there's going to be a bit of a problem, isn't there? Now I commend the unnamed RCMP member for immediately notifying his superiors of his screwup. I actually … [Read more...]
