With the fall of Sun News Network Canadian conservatives lost the one friend they had on television. The only Canadian voice of liberty was lost… silenced because we Canadian conservatives failed when it counted most. There is nothing we can do about that failure. Nothing we do today will bring back the Sun News Network. It’s done. It is gone forever. There is, however, … [Read more...]
TheRebel: Will conservative-minded citizens financially support a true conservative news outlet?
That’s essentially the question I posed in the February 14 issue of The Canadian Rights and Freedoms Bulletin. Like so many others I was shocked to see nothing but a logo on the Sun News Network website and that all links to content on that site now returned nothing but a “404 not found” error message. Friday, February 13, was indeed a terrible day for Freedom of the … [Read more...]
Why we must Support Marc Lemire’s Appeal of the Bizarre Federal Court ruling on Section 13 of the Canadian Human Rights Act
[powerpress] As you no doubt already know, MP Brian Storseth’s Private Members Bill C-304, an Act to repeal Section 13 of the Canadian Human Rights Act, has passed the Canadian Parliament. However, it must still pass the Senate before this piece of freedom-crushing legislation will be gone for good. In the meantime, Marc Lemire’s … [Read more...]
Ezra Levant’s 5-Point Plan to eradicate the Canadian Broadcasting Standards Council and Section 5 of the Canadian Television Broadcasting Regulations
On the June 18, 2012 edition of The Source, host Ezra Levant put forward his 5-point plan to rid Canada of the Canadian Censors Council, or as they like to call themselves, the Canadian Broadcast Standards Council (CBSC). As I wrote last week, membership in the CBSC is 100% voluntary. If you do NOT want a television broadcast license, you have no need to “volunteer” to join … [Read more...]
Freedom of Speech, Censorship, Ezra Levant, terrorist-supporting Chiquita Banana Company and the Cdn Broadcast Standards Council
Freedom of speech is such a tenuous Right. Every individual wants to say whatever he or she wants, but invariably demands that everyone else only say what meets with their approval. It's hypocritical but it is the human way. Or maybe it's just the Canadian way, I don't know. Ezra Levant, on his Sun News Network show The Source, invariably pushes the bounds of Freedom of … [Read more...]
Everybody Draw Muhammad Day!
According to Wikipedia, the first Everybody Draw Muhammad Day was held on May 20, 2010 in support of free speech and freedom of artistic expression of those threatened by violence for drawing representations of the Islamic Prophet Muhammad. It began as a protest against censorship of an American television show, South Park, "201" by its distributor, Comedy Central, in … [Read more...]
Starting the New Year off Right (with a little help from Ezra Levant)
One of the best things to happen to the Canadian media landscape last year was the introduction of the Sun News Network. Finally there was a voice that was different from any other voice on Canadian television. What a treat for people like me and perhaps like you. So, to start the year off right, I want to give you one of Ezra Levant's best rants from last … [Read more...]
Your “human right” NOT to be offended is about to be revoked.
Thirty-four years ago Canada passed one of the most absurd and Freedom-crushing laws in human history, granting Canadians the “human right” not to be offended. The abomination that is 1977 Canadian Human Rights Act was rammed through Parliament by none other than that most Marxist of Prime Ministers, Pierre Elliott Trudeau. For many reasons I’ve never thought much of … [Read more...]
Our Canadian Prime Minister, Clarity and Sun Media’s Coverage of 9/11 Anniversary
Hello there, it’s me.........again..... Don Laird... I watched the Sun Media coverage of the 9-11 Remembrance in New York and was very pleased. The points Ezra Levant made were quite relevant and should be made again and again in order to provoke debate and introspective thought. The white washing of Ground Zero is obscene. The eradication of … [Read more...]
Saskatchewan dumps its Human Rights Tribunal. That’s 1 down, 13 to go…
Saskatchewan has officially dumped its Human Rights Tribunal. What a momentous day for our cherished Rights and Freedoms! This is the day we've been anticipating since Saskatchewan's Justice Minister Don Morgan announced the proposal about a year and a half ago. Anyone who hasn't been hiding under a rock for the past 5 years will know all about such stellar examples of … [Read more...]
Ezra Levant on Bell Canada’s Business Practices
Bell Canada is refusing to carry Sun TV. They're afraid of the competition for their own CTV network, and with good reason. People want to watch Sun TV, and that will cost them viewers. Their short-sighted and protectionist attitude, however, will be costing them and their resellers, like Telus, a lot of customers. Shaw carries Sun TV, and is happy to do so. Shaw … [Read more...]
