Isn’t it great when, after you have been victimized by thieves, the cops come along and victimize you all over again? That’s [allegedly] the case in Bakersfield, California, where Bakersfield Police Officer Patrick Lefler was arrested after trying to extort sexual favours from a woman he was sent to help. Instead of actually returning the stolen property to the young woman … [Read more...]

RCMP Sgt. Owen Wlodarczak thinks he should not suffer any consequences for threatening to shoot his wife in the head
In May 2010 RCMP Staff Sgt. Owen Wlodarczak went home, punched his wife in the face half a dozen times and then threatened to shoot her in the head with his service pistol. He committed this vile act in front of his children. True to the double-standard in sentencing RCMP members as compared to we mere citizens, Owen Wlodarczak was sentenced to absolutely zero jail time; … [Read more...]
Athiests won’t feed the football team but they don’t want anyone else feeding the team either
Don’t you just love the whining morons who complain that a church is doing something even though the whiners won’t do it themselves? Take the case of churches in LaFayette, Georgia, providing meals to local football teams before games. Here are people (yes, churches are in fact filled with people) doing a great thing (feeding young athletes). I find it bizarre that … [Read more...]
BC’s RCMP Despise Your Right to Privacy
Most people believe they have a right to personal privacy and that the government doesn’t need to know their whereabouts every moment of every day. Most people would be wrong. Take, for example, the BC RCMP’s plan for using license plate recording scanners to build a database of the movements of citizens who have done absolutely nothing wrong just because you might do … [Read more...]
Corey Maygard: Harassed by Edmonton Police for the “crime” of videotaping them on a public street
Corey Maygard was on the street on Friday, August 10, 2012 and saw what he thought were Edmonton Police Service constables physically abusing a man. He pulled out his iPhone and started recording what he witnessed. One of the constables came over and demanded that Corey stop recording them. Fine. The constable can make any demand he likes. That doesn’t mean anyone has to … [Read more...]
In an age of myopic self-absorption Danielle Smith’s selfless act sure stands out
I tumbled across the story of Danielle Smith’s awesome act for charity only because she shares the same name as Alberta Wildrose Party Leader Danielle Smith. This Danielle Smith is 21 years old, was one of the Torch Bearers at the 2012 Olympic Games in England and lives in Tollemache Fields, South Witham, England. At the age of 15 she lost her left leg to … [Read more...]
Systemic Disrespect: Almost half of all RCMP complaints are for abusive behaviour
It's a shocking statistic from the Commission for Public Complaints Against the RCMP. While attempting to find a specific decision on their website I discovered this tidbit of information: 43.6% of ALL complaints against the RCMP are for abusive behaviour and language. That is incredible and shows a systemic problem that RCMP Commissioner Robert Paulson cannot be happy … [Read more...]
Sadly RCMP Commissioner Robert Paulson is learning why his predecessor failed so miserably
RCMP Commissioner Robert Paulson is on record saying he wants to clean up the RCMP and get rid of the bad apples that are spoiling the barrel of decent cops. It’s a commendable position to take, even if he’s not the first to attempt the monumental task of rebuilding the RCMP's shattered image and lost confidence of the public. His predecessor, William Elliott, also tried to … [Read more...]
Former RCMP member and bylaw enforcement officer Rod Lazenby murdered in Priddis, Alberta
Former RCMP member and Foothills Municipal District community peace officer Rod Lazenby was [allegedly] murdered by Trevor Kloschinsky, 46, in the town of Priddis, Alberta, on Friday, August 10, 2012. Priddis is a 15-minute drive southwest of Calgary. It’s horrifying to learn that a man like Rod Lazenby can survive his entire 35 year RCMP career unscathed, only to be … [Read more...]
Hypocrisy Gone Wild: Niagara Regional Police Constable Nathan Parker files Human Rights complaint after being disciplined for police brutality
As astounding and incomprehensible as it sounds, a Niagara Regional Police Constable who went berserk on a cyclist on May 6, 2008 filed a human rights complaint against his superiors because they hurt his feelings. Constable Nathan Parker, who has never shown one iota of remorse for his disgraceful actions of that day, felt hard done by when a police disciplinary board ruled … [Read more...]
RCMP Constable Harley Gillman: The latest in a long line of thieving RCMP members
It's the typical RCMP response to one of their own being caught with his hand in the cookie jar: give the thief a paid vacation. That's precisely what's happened to RCMP Constable Harley Gillman of Saskatchewan's Beardys First Nation. He's on a paid suspension or what I like to call a paid vacation after being charged with theft and breach of trust. Constable Gillman would … [Read more...]
Police release map showing Convicted sexual sadist Donald Bakker is living in downtown Abbotsford, BC
While Abbotsford Police cannot release his exact home address, they have released a map showing the neighbourhood where convicted sexual sadist Donald Bakker is living. "Public safety is the Abbotsford Police Department's highest priority," said Const. Ian MacDonald in a press release. "We previously shared information about Bakker because we believe that the citizens of … [Read more...]
Olympic Gold Medal Gymnast Aly Raisman has more class than Jacques Rogge and the entire International Olympic Committee
On August 8th I wrote about my disgust with Jacques Rogge, president of the IOC and the entire International Olympic Committee for steadfastly refusing to honour the 40th anniversary of the murder of 11 Israeli athletes at the Munich Games in 1972. That column, titled "And the Gold Medal for Cowardice goes to…. Jacques Rogge and the International Olympic Committee" made it … [Read more...]
And the Gold Medal for Cowardice goes to…. Jacques Rogge and the International Olympic Committee
Do you know the name Moshe Weinberg? No? How about Yossef Romano? Still nothing? Hmmm, how about Ze'ev Friedman, David Berger, Yakov Springer, Eliezer Halfin, Yossef Gutfreund, Kehat Shorr, Mark Slavin, Andre Spitzer or Amitzur Shapira? Still not ringing any bells? I'm not surprised and you shouldn't be either. The International Olympic Committee is doing its … [Read more...]
When is your private property not your own? Whenever a bureaucritter of the Nanny State says so.
We like to believe that when we make the most expensive purchase of our lives, our family home, we’re actually the ones who own it. It’s a fallacy, however, as more and more homeowners, if I can even call them that, are discovering across North America. When we buy a piece of land and a house, we believe we can do what we want with that land and home. Oh, we’re such … [Read more...]
Finally! A response from Lake Country RCMP Detachment Commander Sgt. Scott Rempel re: Pellet Gun Seizure
In the May 16, 2012 edition of the Vernon Morning Star it was reported that RCMP had seized a pellet gun from a person and were going to destroy it, despite the fact they were not laying any charges against the pellet gun owner. This seizure arose from a complaint called in to police that someone was shooting a handgun off the north side of the dock near the Turtle Bay … [Read more...]
Marxist Audacity and Mendacity by Jane Gaffin
U.S. President Barack Hussein Obama is either a Pol Pot clone, whose arse should be fired out the White House door so fast he leaves a vapour trail, or else he is in dire need of a new speech writer. The premise of his frenzied Roanoke Rant on July 13th sounded like the punch line to an old satirical joke, “Hi, I’m from the government; I’m here to help you.” News Flash: … [Read more...]
Sometimes Profoundly Stupid Actions Have Consequences… Imagine That Adam M. Smith!
Adam M. Smith isn’t normally a stupid person. He was the chief financial officer for a very large company up until just the other day when they fired him for his incredibly bad judgment and, well, plain rudeness to a Chick-Fil-A employee at a drive-thru in Tucson, Arizona. Adam M. Smith was so profoundly stupid to not only videotape his rude and abusive diatribe, but also … [Read more...]
Steven Boyd and Karen Bursey are the latest victims of Bureaucrat’s Rule #1
Anyone hanging out here for any length of time will already be familiar with Bureaucrat's Rule #1, but for the benefit of any newcomers, here it is in all its repulsive glory: Bureaucrat's Rule #1: The Rules are More Important than People As you can see, it's quite a simple rule and it is gleefully used the world over by tyrannical bureaucrats who love nothing more than … [Read more...]
Western Wheat Farmers finally get a taste of freedom from the oppression of the Canadian Wheat Board
Can you imagine starting a business, creating a product and then being sent to jail for the “crime” of selling that product to whoever you wanted? This sounds absurd, doesn’t it? Of course, yet this was the reality for farmers in Western Canada for the past 70 years. The Canadian Wheat Board made it a crime for a farmer to sell the fruits of his labour, namely the wheat he … [Read more...]
