Section 2 (b) of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms is clear. Canadians have the right to freedom of thought, belief, opinion and expression. The lesser son of the man who brought Canada the Charter of Rights and Freedoms is, sadly but predictably, utterly incapable of defending this bedrock principle of the Canadian Constitution. Trudeau's pathetic mewling started after … [Read more...]
Carolyn Strom’s Free Speech Victory in Saskatchewan
On October 6, 2020, the Saskatchewan Court of Appeal ruled in favour of Carolyn Strom and her Charter-protected right to freedom of speech. It was the culmination of a years-long battle between Carolyn Strom and the Saskatchewan Registered Nurses' Association that began in 2015. Carolyn Strom is a registered nurse who lived and worked in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan. On … [Read more...]
Harry Miller: UK Judge Slams Police for Violating Freedom of Expression
“The only way to protect freedom of speech is to keep bloody speaking.” – Harry Miller “In this country we have never had a Cheka, a Gestapo or a Stasi. We have never lived in an Orwellian society.” – Justice Julian Knowles Freedom of Speech won another battle in Britain, but one likely to enrage proponents of special rights for some at the expense of equal … [Read more...]
The Canadian Government’s Scheme to Censor the Internet
Freedom of Speech is a fundamental right of all human beings. If this Liberal government wants me to give up right to free speech and beg for their permission to speak they'd best come with a bevy of armed Thought Police thugs because the only way they will shut me up is if they kill me. George Orwell's classic 1984 is not an instruction manual. It's a dire warning about … [Read more...]
Washington DC Judge Shuts Down US DOJ Fishing Expedition
Cops love vaguely-worded search warrants with a wide-open net. Why they love them is no secret. These kinds of search warrants are fishing expeditions. These search warrants are massive gill nets tossed into the ocean of humanity in search of a crime to prosecute. They don't even care which crime. Any crime will do. That's the type of broad warrant the US Department of … [Read more...]
The Social Justice Warrior Worldview
If you think you're crazy because of all the politically-correct nonsense in our world, you're not. If you think the world is being turned upside down by childish crybabies who cannot comprehend a moral right from a moral wrong, you're correct. If you believe your right to free speech trumps the screeching and wailing of social justice warriors who are too intellectually … [Read more...]
Thank God for Andrew Abbass and his Lawyer
In the wake of the senseless killing of Don Dunphy by police over a Twitter message, thousands of people demanded and ultimately succeeded in forcing an inquiry into his death. One of those outraged by the killing of Don Dunphy is Andrew Abbass. Two days after Don Dunphy was killed, Andrew Abbass tweeted about his disgust with the Premier of Newfoundland and government in … [Read more...]
Jordan Peterson: It’s not safe to speak and it never will be
Professor Jordan Peterson made international headlines last fall for his staunch refusal to kneel at the feet of the Pronoun Police. That infuriated the intolerant ones, all of whom insist there can be only one opinion: theirs. All others must be silenced. Professor Peterson refused to be cowed by those "clouds of gnats" and stood his ground. Despite a 20+ year record of … [Read more...]
An Open Letter to Jati Sidhu, MP (Mission — Matsqui — Fraser Canyon)
Dear Mr. Jati Sidhu, MP (Mission — Matsqui — Fraser Canyon) I write to you, my elected representative to Parliament, to urge you to vote against Iqra Khalid's Motion M-103 "Systemic racism and religious discrimination" this week. My rationale is simple. Canada's Charter of Rights and Freedoms guarantees my right to freedom of speech. That right includes the right to … [Read more...]
Radical Muslim Toronto Schoolteacher Nadia Shoufani Under Investigation
Great news! Radical Muslim Toronto Schoolteacher Nadia Shoufani is under investigation by the Dufferin-Peel Catholic District School Board for her racist and offensive comments at a Muslim rally earlier in July. "The board was made aware of this issue last week and is investigating," said Bruce Campbell, general manager of communications and community relations for the … [Read more...]
Islamophobia? Just More Media-Manufactured Nonsense
Islamophobia. It's everywhere and rampant if you listen to the main stream morons aka network news. Irrational white people are terrified of Muslims for no good reason at all. Naturally we have to discount a great many things in order to transform that statement into even the most distant cousin of reality, don't we? Things like the dozens of Muslim thugs who film … [Read more...]
Meet Hate-Spewing Radical Muslim Toronto Schoolteacher Nadia Shoufani
Most Canadians were horrified to hear the story of the 13-year-old Israeli girl stabbed to death by a Muslim terrorist while she slept. Not radical Muslim and Toronto schoolteacher Nadia Shoufani. She called that Muslim terrorist a "hero" . I trust Nadia Shoufani's employers at the Dufferin-Peel District School Board are suitably unimpressed with her weekend hate-spewing, … [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...]
Raif Badawi: Our Right to Free Speech must not be taken lightly
Here in North America we take our Right to Freedom of Speech for granted. We criticize our government with abandon and gusto, confident we are safe from retaliation; that there is no price to be paid for speaking our mind. We forget the rest of the world doesn’t take so kindly to criticism. In Saudi Arabia, for example, criticizing the government comes at a very high cost. … [Read more...]
Censorship Essential to Combat Terrorism says British Prime Minister David Cameron
Governments of all kinds despise Freedom of Speech. Dictatorships despise it because, if allowed, their detractors relentlessly denigrate them and their lack of integrity. Democracies despise Freedom of Speech for precisely the same reason. Freedom of Speech allows mere citizens to comment upon the actions of their so-called leaders, both good and bad. The United Nations … [Read more...]
Peoria Mayor Jim Ardis Desperately Needs Thicker Skin
Peoria Mayor Jim Ardis: if you can't handle being mocked stop being a politician. Mocking and ridicule come with the territory so either get a thicker skin or get yourself a new job. Wasting police resources to harass those who oppose you is the act of a tyrant, not a mayor. Peoria Mayor Jim Ardis was so worried about a parody Twitter account with all of 50 posts and 50 … [Read more...]
Are you offended by something I said? Get over it already.
The problem with some folks is they can’t accept the fact an opinion exists of which they don’t approve. The problem with politicians is they feel compelled to pander to the people who cannot accept another's point of view. Combine the two (incessant whiners and politicians) and you get nightmares like the Canadian Human Rights Act and Section 318 of the Criminal Code, both … [Read more...]
Flashing Headlights to Warn of Speed Trap is NOT a Crime says Oregon Court
It's a simple, common-sense ruling, and one founded in that most basic right of all, Freedom of Speech. Just like honking your horn as you pass by people holding a sign like "Honk if you Support Our Troops" is legal, so is flashing your lights to warn oncoming drivers of police in their path. So says Oregon Judge Joseph Carter. Hauling a truckload of logs to a Southern … [Read more...]
Should Arthur Topham Have Sexually Assaulted 23 Women Instead?
That may seem a strange title for an article about our legal system, but after reading about Campbell Ernest Crichton, the former Duncan, BC, physiotherapist who faces charges he sexually assaulted at least 23 of his former patients, it seems to be the correct title. A February 21, 2014, article in The Province started thus: A hearing has been ordered in the case of a … [Read more...]
Arthur Topham’s Continuing Legal Battle for his Right to Freedom of Speech
As I’ve written many times before Quesnel, BC, resident Arthur Topham is embroiled in a battle for his Right to Freedom of Speech. Those who dislike what Arthur has to say used both Section 13 of the Canadian Human Rights Act (now repealed) and the Criminal Code section against “hate crimes” to attack him and strip him of that precious right. While Section 13 of the Canadian … [Read more...]
A&E Caves to Viewer Pressure, Reinstates Phil Robertson to Hit Show “Duck Dynasty”
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...]
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. The Arts and Entertainment Network’s world-class display of hypocrisy made it clear that the Mainstream Media will … [Read more...]
Section 13 of the Canadian Human Rights Act is DEAD!!!
Shortly after hearing the Senate would stick around a little longer to deal with outstanding legislation I was pleased they would finally deal with Brian Storseth's Private Member's Bill C-304 to repeal Section 13 of the Canadian Human Rights Act. Imagine my shock and surprise to receive an email from Marc Lemire this afternoon trumpeting the great news that the Senate … [Read more...]
Canadian Human Rights Tribunal’s 100% Conviction Rate is No Surprise
Since 1978 the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal had a 100% conviction rate for cases brought before the Canadian Human Rights Commission (CHRC) under Section 13 of the Canadian Human Rights Act. This perfect conviction rate is hardly a surprise given that Tribunals rule that “Truth” is no defence against prosecution Speaking “Truth” is actually used as “proof” of your guilt … [Read more...]
Thought Police Compare Publisher with Child Pornographers and Sexual Predators
The Arthur Topham criminal “hate speech” case here in British Columbia continues to leave me scratching my head in amazement that we actually pay Crown Prosecutors good money to act like such idiots. I’m specifically talking about Quesnel Crown Counsel and (president of Quesnel Bar Association) Jennifer Caroline Johnston’s antics in court. Johnston, Arthur Topham relates in … [Read more...]
Horrifying Headline proves just how screwed up our priorities are
Toronto Mayor Rob Ford is under fire (again) for being everything a liberal despises. Saving Toronto taxpayers over a BILLION dollars is meaningless. Ford is a jerk and there is no low too low when it comes to attacking him in the press. For the “crime” of being a conservative and doing exactly what he said he would do if elected Mayor of Toronto, the mindless lemmings of … [Read more...]
Lillooet, BC, Takes SLAPPing “Mere Citizens” to an All-New Level
Just down the road from me is the town of Lillooet. It’s a nice enough place to live except, that is, for the local politicians. They’re a nightmare; control freaks of the highest order. Back in 2010 Lillooet Mayor Dennis Bontron wanted to ban what he called “unauthorized meetings” in an effort to curb vandalism. The penalties proposed for holding an "unauthorized meeting" … [Read more...]
Hollywood’s “Anti-Piracy” Hypocrisy
It’s one thing for a Hollywood film producer to do what it can to prevent its own commercial works from being “pirated” on the internet. It’s entirely another to prevent an independent filmmaker from producing a film and intentionally sharing his work on the internet for free, yet that is exactly what Hollywood film companies Viacom, Paramount, Fox and Lionsgate are doing … [Read more...]
US State Department Gets Knickers In a Twist over 3D Printable Handgun
Earlier this week Cody Wilson, the founder of Defense Distributed, made history by creating a single-shot firearm using a 3D printer and then firing it. Personally, I find this absolutely fascinating and a marvel of human ingenuity. Wilson, often referred to in the press as “the radical libertarian and anarchist founder of Defense Distributed” successfully designed a .380 … [Read more...]
Aurora City Council Issues Formal Apology to Bloggers
In a truly astounding gesture, Aurora City Council formally voted to apologize for its role in the SLAPP lawsuit filed by former Aurora Mayor Phyllis Morris. I’ve written about this case many times before, so I was thrilled to see this announcement land in my mailbox this week. A Resounding SLAPP in the face for Politicians Wishing to Stifle our Freedom of Speech Former … [Read more...]
