Phil Hewkin’s Cartoon Says It All…

Published June 19, 2014 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Canada's Firearms Act, Civil Forfeiture, Guns


Phil Hewkin is an artist and a gun owner.  He believes, as I do, that owning private property should not land you in prison, nor should it cost you your life savings or your family home.  All three of those things happened to Ontario gunsmith Bruce Montague.  Well, to be precise, the last of the three, the theft of the Montague family home using Ontario's Proceeds of Crime Act, … [Read more...]

Donna Montague Speaks Out on Criminal Case Against Her Husband

My name is Donna Montague. I am married to former Ontario gunsmith Bruce Montague. I have had Enough! I am thoroughly disgusted! It is bad enough that the news media reports inflammatory positions about Bruce without verifying their data ….. but the “JUDICIARY” is doing it too. Now that the trial is over I can speak. The search of our home: First off, there … [Read more...]

Gunsmith Bruce Montague, Dr. Henry Morgentaler and Abortion Law

Published June 4, 2014 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Abusive Prosecutions, Canada's Firearms Act, Civil Forfeiture, Property Rights


That may seem an odd title but it will make sense shortly. The Ontario Court of Appeal released its decision in R. v. Montague, 2014 ONCA 439, in which the government's desire to seize Bruce Montague's complete firearms and ammunition collection came to its unjust conclusion. Ontario's Court of Appeal heard arguments for and against the forfeiture of over $100,000 of … [Read more...]

Katey Montague on Ontario Government Theft of Montague Family Home Using Civil Forfeiture

UPDATE: Thankfully, but for reasons nobody understands, the Ontario Government dropped its civil forfeiture action against the Montague family home.

Ontario’s Attorney General’s Office Angry about public scrutiny in home seizure case

Published November 7, 2010 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Abuse of Police Authority, Property Rights


Crown Counsel James McKeachie is very annoyed with the Montague family for making public the letter he wrote to them where he spelled out his intention to take their family home using Ontario's Civil Remedies Act. They posted his letter on the website about their legal challenge to Canada's Firearms Act, www.BruceMontague.ca. McKeachie's letter, dated the day the Supreme … [Read more...]

Ontario’s Attorney General’s Office Angry about public scrutiny in home seizure case, Part 4 of 4

Published November 6, 2010 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Abuse of Police Authority, Property Rights


And what happens to all the money and property seized? Well, of the $13.4 million seized in Ontario since 2003, only $1.2 million has been turned over as compensation to "victims of unlawful activity", whatever that phrase means. Almost half of it, $5.7 million has been handed back to law enforcement agencies in the form of grants. Five times as much money is given … [Read more...]

Ontario’s Attorney General’s Office Angry about public scrutiny in home seizure case, Part 3 of 4

Published November 5, 2010 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Abuse of Police Authority, Property Rights


Donna Montague was not impressed. "At every stage of this process, whenever we've 'negotiated' with them, we've been railroaded," she said. "The search warrants were illegal.  They said that for our Constitutional challenge to go forward we had to drop our challenge of them.  After they arrested Bruce, did the first search and were holding Bruce in jail, they threatened … [Read more...]

Ontario’s Attorney General’s Office Angry about public scrutiny in home seizure case, Part 2 of 4

Published November 4, 2010 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Abuse of Police Authority, Property Rights


McKeachie, and through him the Attorney General's office as a whole, was being forced to answer for his actions to the public.  He doesn't like that at all.  Why should the Ontario Attorney General's office or McKeachie personally be upset about public scrutiny of this case? Openness and transparency should be the hallmark of government. After all, the Attorney General … [Read more...]
