Christopher Husbands 2012 Toronto Eaton's Centre Murders

This is part of my ongoing series on Canadian Mass Murders.

Bill Blair – Master of Misinformation and Misdirection

Bill Blair may only be a second-term Liberal MP but make no mistake – Bill Blair is a career politician. The Minister of Misinformation's defence of his ban on so-called “military-style assault weapons” is just the latest ideological step in Blair’s long political career. He became Chief of the Toronto Police Service on April 26, 2005. During his tenure as Toronto’s top … [Read more...]

Marquis Watkins: Gun Smuggling Nets 3 Years in Prison

On October 16, 2018, Marquis Watkins, a “former football phenom”, attempted to smuggle 20 handguns into Canada via the beautiful Rainbow Bridge at Niagara Falls, Ontario.

Marcus Nugent allegedly commited Toronto's 28th murder of 2020

Justin Trudeau and Bill Blair said their gun ban by Order in Council would prevent this from happening. Is it possible they “misled” the Canadian people? On Sunday, May 17th, one man shot two others in a Toronto housing complex near Victoria Park Avenue and Sheppard Avenue East. One of the shooting victims, 24-year-old Shawn Williams, died after being taken to hospital. … [Read more...]

Beaumont RCMP's Gross Incompetence in Alberta Negligent Discharge Case

On Wednesday, May 13, 2020, some moron apparently fired a dozen or more shots into the air. Those bullets landed on six homes in the Forest Heights area of Edmonton, Alberta.

Alan Ruel Stroke in RCMP Drunk Tank

If the RCMP is outstanding at anything, it’s their ability to deny all wrongdoing in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary. The RCMP Hall of Shame is filled with examples of bad cops being protected by RCMP supervisors, usually until video evidence arrives and forces them to abandon their coverups. Robert Dziekanski and Buddy Tavares are two high-profile examples … [Read more...]

Calgary Police Service Constable Darren Beatty

In an age where politicians and gun control advocates, no matter how well intentioned, insist only the police and military should have guns, we must acknowledge the fact these brave men and women are still mere mortals – just like the rest of us.

Brian Sauvé, Head of Police Union Representing RCMP Members, Opposes Public Inquiry into Nova Scotia Murders

Brian Sauvé, president of the union representing front-line RCMP constables, publicly opposes an inquiry into the RCMP's handling of the Nova Scotia  murders on April 18th and 19th, 2020. This stance is moronic… yet it’s also wholly predictable.

Democracy Doesn't Need Blunt Instruments by Rob Sciuk

Canada’s constitutional democracy was carefully fashioned by balancing the jurisdiction of the Provinces and the Federal government, and it works best when a critical eye is cast upon the ruling class. There is a disturbing tendency to try and accrue additional powers and, in recent years, to concentrate those powers in the very small circle known as the Prime Minister’s … [Read more...]

Is Dr. Theresa Tam Incompetent or In Over Her Head?

Failure. Incompetent. In over her head. This is the prevailing view of Dr. Theresa Tam, Canada’s Chief Public Health Officer, who continues to draw fire for advice that changes almost as often as the weather. Yes, it’s easy to play Monday-morning quarterback when yours isn’t the head on the chopping bloc, but Dr. Tam made it too easy when she failed to heed her own … [Read more...]
