All Charges Dropped Against Detective Shane Donovan

Published November 22, 2019 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Common Sense


Finally, some great news in the Detective Sergeant Shane Donovan case. All charges against Sgt. Donovan were dropped on Friday, November 22, 2019, because there was no reasonable prospect the Crown could obtain a conviction against the man who defended his life from an attack by a fellow police officer. He "believed his actions were fully necessary, fully justified and in … [Read more...]

NaNoWriMo Day 7 – Procrastination Nation

Published November 7, 2019 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Guns


So I didn't write an update four Day 5 or Day 6 because on Day 5 I wrote almost 8,000 words and was just too mentally drained and yesterday I was caught up in research so didn't have the most productive day - only about three thousand words. Today I was King of Procrastination Nation. I woke up plenty early with the idea I would get to the two thousand words done before … [Read more...]

Free Speech? No thanks, we’re Canadian.

Published November 6, 2019 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Freedom of Speech


The bullies of the intolerant left succeeded again. They shut down another event where, gasp, people wanted to have an open and frank discussion about media bias and gender identity. In public. It's the "in public" part that caused all the trouble. A group of bullies found the topic, “How Media Bias Shapes the Gender Identity Debate” offensive and in today's world, if … [Read more...]

Ali Nassir Showbeg Sues Toronto Police for “Pain and Suffering” for 2006 Shooting

Published November 4, 2019 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Human Depravity


While researching career criminal Ali Nassir Showbeg yesterday, I came across a couple of interesting articles referring to him suing police. I thought this was related to his latest arrest for impaired driving and firearm offences, but it wasn’t. Showbeg is looking for a big payday for pain and suffering after he was shot in the stomach on August 4, 2015, at an after-party … [Read more...]

NaNoWriMo 2019 – Day 4 – The Words keep Coming…

Published November 4, 2019 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Life


Today was another good day for words... aided greatly by Dragon Naturally Speaking. Word count for the day was about 4,500 words, so I'm pleased with progress so far. Just shy of 20,000 words in 4 days, not that word count is the goal this year. As I've done the past 3 National Novel Writing Months, word count is not my priority - completing a first draft of a book is the … [Read more...]

Ali Showbeg – More Proof Firearm Prohibition Orders are Useless

Published November 4, 2019 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Crime, Firearm Prohibition Orders


Ali Nassir Showbeg

Watching 38-year-old Ali Nassir Showbeg produce a handgun from inside his pants and drop it to the floor of a Toronto Police Services cruiser, all with his hands handcuffed behind his back, is both priceless and shocking, for the following reasons. First, it shines a spotlight on just how useless lifetime firearm prohibition orders really are. In 2006, Ali Showbeg was … [Read more...]

NaNoWrMo 2019 – Day 3 – Not Quite a Day of Rest

Published November 3, 2019 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Life


Typically during NaNoWriMo I take Sundays off. Today, being only Day 3, I didn't push it nearly as hard as I did on Days 1 and 2, but I still managed to get some good stuff down on the page and added another 3,363 words to my count. One of the fun things I forgot about was all the achievement badges you get during NaNoWriMo.  It's hilarious. For example, for writing 2 … [Read more...]

NaNoWrMo 2019 – Day 2 – Breaking the 10K barrier

Published November 2, 2019 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Expressions of Gratitude


Broke the 10K barrier today, and am just 55 words shy of 11K at 4pm PST. Very fun, with many more words to come yet. There's still sunshine out my window, for crying out loud! Today's writing session was all about the appointment with Lynda's first surgeon, where we got the news that it was indeed cancer and we had to make a decision about surgery RIGHT NOW because the … [Read more...]

RCMP “loses” another handgun

Published November 2, 2019 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Police, Police Misconduct, RCMP Hall of Shame


Toronto, Ontario. Wednesday, October 30th, 2019. Sherway Gardens shopping mall. 7:30pm. An unidentified RCMP member places his or her black satchel containing their RCMP-issue handgun and 3 spare magazines of ammunition on a chair somewhere inside the shopping mall. He or she then leaves it on that chair, unattended, for over 2 hours. At 9:45 they returned to discover … [Read more...]

#NaNoWriMo 2019 Begins!

Published November 1, 2019 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Life


I love November, but not for the reason you might think. I hate mustaches. Not that I think raising awareness of prostate cancer is a bad thing. It’s not. It’s fantastic. But I’m a writer so November 1st marks the beginning of the greatest of all writing challenges - NaNoWriMo - National Novel Writing Month, where I must write 50,000 words in 30 days to call myself “a … [Read more...]

Freedom of the Press, Alan Forsythe and the Hope Standard

Published November 1, 2019 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Common Sense, Freedom of Speech


Alan Forsythe was fired from The Hope Standard just 7 days after he started his new job due to “concerns about your ability to perform the duties of a journalist in Hope” according to an October 17th letter of termination made public by True North Centre. Then came the outrage on social media. “Canada does not have Freedom Of The Press!!!” wrote @DeniseInCanada in a tweet … [Read more...]
