Detroit Chief of Police James Craig says guns in the hands of citizens is a good thing

Published December 31, 2013 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Concealed Carry, Gun Politics, Gun-Free Zones, Guns


Detroit Police Chief James Craig must really annoy the moronic police chiefs of places like Chicago, IL, and Washington, DC.  Those yahoos insist that guns in the hands of we mere citizens is a terrifying and horrific thought despite mountains of evidence to the contrary. Chief Craig has first-had experience with an armed citizenry, however. He took over as Chief of Police … [Read more...]

Canada’s Supreme Court Issues Ruling on Computer and Cell Phone Searches

Published December 30, 2013 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Abuse of Police Authority, Charter of Rights and Freedoms Breaches, Unreasonable Search and Seizure, Warrantless Searches


The Supreme Court of Canada (SCC) ruling, R. v. Vu, found that RCMP members violated Thanh Long Vu’s Charter Rights and Freedoms when they executed a search warrant on Vu’s Langley, BC, home in 2007. Despite finding that Vu’s rights were violated the Supreme Court refused to throw out the evidence gained by those violations. Instead the SCC ordered a new trial for Thanh Long … [Read more...]

A&E Caves to Viewer Pressure, Reinstates Phil Robertson to Hit Show “Duck Dynasty”

Published December 27, 2013 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Freedom of Religion, Freedom of Speech, Politically Correct Madness


A&E Network caved to pressure but not from those who you might expect. A&E's so-called "stand" against Phil Robertson's Right to Freedom of Speech and Freedom of Religion lasted a massive 9 days. They caved the millisecond they understood their sacred cash cow "Duck Dynasty", the highest rated cable show in history, would die if they did not reverse their asinine … [Read more...]

Mount Soledad Veterans Memorial: Religious Freedom for Everyone Except Christians?

Published December 21, 2013 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Freedom of Religion, Politically Correct Madness


A Southern California District Court has ruled that a cross at the Mount Soledad Veterans Memorial in San Diego is a government endorsement of a specific religion and must be removed within 90 days. The judge in the case, Larry Alan Burns, appeared to be choked up as he read his decision, saying that precedent from the wildly liberal Ninth Circuit Court left him no options. … [Read more...]

US Judge Declares Waiting Periods are a “Burden” to the Second Amendment Right

Published December 20, 2013 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Gun Politics, Guns, Self-Defense


A California judge ruled the current state-imposed waiting period to take possession of a firearm is a burden on the Second Amendment, the constitutional right to keep and bear arms. The Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) filed a legal challenge, Silvester v. Harris, to California's mandatory 10-day waiting period to take possession of a firearm. In his 11-page decision U.S. … [Read more...]

Duck Dynasty Patriarch Fired by A&E Network for Speaking Biblical Truth

“The press must grow day in and day out -- it is our Party’s sharpest and most powerful weapon.”                                             -- Josef Stalin The past week was an enlightening one if you believe in Freedom of Speech, and not in a good way.

Edmonton Police Service Constable Adam Kube Refused Any Appeal In His Termination for Corrupt Practices

Published December 17, 2013 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Police Corruption


Edmonton Police Service Constable Adam Kube was found guilty of corrupt practices and fired.  He appealed his dismissal to the Law Enforcement Review Board and that decision went against him too.  Just as it should. “It has been said that, for a police officer, the penalty of dismissal is the ultimate penalty, but, even with this in mind, we conclude that the Presiding … [Read more...]

Petty Vancouver Bureaucrats and Their Hatred of Dogs and Dog Owners

Published December 15, 2013 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Bureaucrat’s Rule #1


A friend of mine lives in Vancouver’s Olympic Village. She is a delightful woman who happens to own a Whippet, an unusual-looking dog but a great companion.  As all dog owners in Vancouver, my friend is required to purchase a permission slip from local government in order to keep her dog.  Bureaucrats call that a “dog license.” As I’ve discussed many times before on this … [Read more...]

CSIS Does “End-Run” Around Privacy Law to Spy on Canadians Abroad

Published December 13, 2013 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Bureaucratic Incompetence, Courts, Police Misconduct, Privacy Rights, Rights, Warrantless Searches


It’s as horrifying as it is becoming routine: Canadian police agencies lying to Judges in Court so they can keep violating the law they are supposed to uphold.  This time is the Canadian spy agency CSIS that’s caught in the spotlight. Judge Richard Mosley wasn’t pleased when he discovered CSIS and the Communication Security Establishment of Canada (CSEC) lied to him.  Both … [Read more...]

Is an Encrypted Social Network Possible? Three Montreal Computer Students Say Yes

Published December 12, 2013 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Freedom of Speech, Privacy Rights, Rights


Syme brings privacy to your group conversations by encrypting everything you share. With the look of Google Plus and Facebook-like elements, a new social network named "Syme" feels as cozy as a well-worn shoe. But beneath the familiar veneer, it's quite different. Syme encrypts all content, such as status updates, photos and files, so that only people invited to a group can … [Read more...]

Our Elected Representatives – Who do they actually represent?

Published December 11, 2013 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Ethics in Politics, Politics


The vast majority of Members of Parliament are NOT the people’s representative to Ottawa... they are Ottawa’s representative to us. Not exactly the way it’s supposed to work. Currently all parties impose their will upon our so-called elected representatives so the will of we mere citizens is left rotting in the ditch.  This is true of the leadership of the Conservatives, … [Read more...]

Is Public Prayer the Great Crime Fighter?

Published December 10, 2013 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Guns


A very interesting story comes out of Kansas City, Missouri this week. Kansas City, like all urban domains, is constantly on the lookout for new was to fight crime. One avenue that is usually overlooked has taken root in the city though, and it has sparked requests for the same thing in many other major US cities. What is this method? Prayer. Specifically public … [Read more...]

Heading to the US? Be Warned: Canadian Government Discloses Personal Medical Records to Americans

Published December 9, 2013 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Big Brother, Bureaucratic Incompetence, Privacy Rights


Is it unreasonable to think your personal, private medical records would remain, well, private? No, it is not. The Canadian Government, however, is not acting reasonably, as one unfortunate woman discovered as she tried to visit the United States to attend a March of Dimes cruise. Ellen Richardson, a 50-year-old disabled woman, was refused entry into the United States by the … [Read more...]

US Eminent Domain Case proves government should leave mere citizens alone

Published December 8, 2013 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Property Rights, The Great Nanny State


It was a landmark ruling when it first came out, cited by anyone with an ounce of common sense as the Death of Property Rights. While that assessment is correct, the eventual outcome of the land seizures by the Kelo v. City of New London US Supreme Court decision. Why am I writing about an American court decision in a Canadian Rights and Freedoms Blog? We’re abusing the … [Read more...]

December 6th – A Day Dedicated to Hating Men & blaming them for the acts of one Muslim lunatic

Published December 6, 2013 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Canada's Firearms Act, Gun Politics, Politically Correct Madness


I can’t speak for you, but I’m getting tired of the annual festival of hatred against men sparked by the heinous and misogynist killing spree committed by Gamil Gharbi. Most people don’t know that name because the mainstream media refuses to use the name of the murderer up until two years before his killing spree at l’Ecolle Polytechnique. They prefer to use his “Canadian” … [Read more...]

Alison Redford’s Alberta Government Passes Anti-Free Speech Law

Published December 5, 2013 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Censorship, Freedom of Speech


Unions have an astonishing amount of power in today’s society. There is no doubt about that. The way to deal with militant unions is not, however, to strip union members of their Right to Freedom of Speech. Bill 45, titled the Public Service Services Continuation Act (view PDF), does a lot more than simply “continue” public services. Stuffed inside this bill are some very … [Read more...]

Two Self-Defense Cases End with Prison Term for homeowner in one, offender in other

Published December 4, 2013 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Abusive Prosecutions, Canada's Firearms Act, Wrongful Convictions


When faced with a trespassing criminal, Canada’s laws on the use of force to repel criminals on our own property are still a terrifying mess. Firing a warning shot is deemed legal in Saskatchewan but criminal in Ontario. Both cases involve elderly Canadians who fired warning shots to scare away criminals. In the case of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, resident Hugh Lindholm the … [Read more...]

Time for Canada to Pull Out of the Trans-Pacific Partnership

Published December 3, 2013 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Freedom of Speech, Guns, Privacy Rights


I’ve written about the Trans-Pacific Partnership recently and it’s destructive effect just on our Right to Privacy. That is not the only right this agreement would trample on. When even the Left-Wing Idealogues like those at the Huffington Post are against the Trans-Pacific Partnership you know it must be bad! Please visit the Electronic Frontier Foundation for a detailed … [Read more...]

Quebec Passes Another “Racist” and Charter-Violating Law

Published December 2, 2013 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Freedom of Religion, Freedom of Speech


That Pauline Marois proposes another Charter-violating law is hardly a surprise. The woman who despises the Canadian flag so much she refuses to let it stand inside the Quebec Legislature (while hypocritically cashing our transfer payment checks, of course) despises pretty much everything about Canada except the money we shovel into her province each and every … [Read more...]
