On April 27, 2021, a 5-year-old boy in Elkhart, Indiana, found a loaded gun in his home in the Four Seasons Mobile Home Park. The boy picked up the loaded gun and, while playing with it, managed to shoot himself in the chest. He was rushed to South Bend Memorial Hospital in critical condition, then flown to The Riley Hospital for Children in Indianapolis where doctors … [Read more...]
Raise Your Hand if You Remember Normal
If you remember a time when life was 'normal' please raise your hand. I'm not talking about pre-COVID times either, although they are particularly stupid on almost every level. I'm talking about times when such outdated concepts as personal responsibility, respect for others and simple civility ruled the day. Those glorious days when we could agree to disagree without … [Read more...]
PolySeSouvient’s Unassailable Logic on Handgun Bans
On August 8, 2020, PolySeSouvient, one of Canada’s gun ban advocacy groups, put out this tweet: The implication is the handgun owner is responsible for the theft of his or her handguns, not the criminals. There is no fault, no blame assigned to the thieves who broke into the house, then into the gun safe to steal these handguns, despite a minimum of three Criminal … [Read more...]
Claira Janover: Personal Responsibility is Racist?
Whether Claira Janover was serious when she threatened "the next person who has the sheer nerve, the sheer entitled ‘caucasity,’ to say ‘All Lives Matter,’ I'mma stab you" or not, the cold hard reality is stupid actions have consequences. When grownups must face the consequence of their poor life choices they accept it, learn from it and move on. Children of all ages … [Read more...]
Darius Sam – A Role Model for Our Time
A young man from Merritt, British Columbia, woke up one morning after another long night of drinking and took a hard look in the mirror. He didn’t like the person looking back at him. So he decided to change. Like many young people his age, Darius Sam spent a lot of time drinking too much and partying, indulging in the excesses of youth. It’s a natural part of growing … [Read more...]
Trudeau-Appointed Judge Condones Violence Against Women
On January 13, 2018, Matthew Brown got high on magic mushrooms, stripped naked, then broke into the home of Professor Janet Hamnett. He beat her with a broom handle so badly he was covered in her blood when he ran from Hamnett’s home. In a decision I can only describe is repulsive, Alberta Court of Queen's Bench Justice Michele Hollins refused to hold Matthew Brown … [Read more...]
Trudeau Hypocrisy #737 – “Carbon Offsets”
This week we learned our condescending Prime Minister uses 2 airplanes to criss-cross the nation during the 2019 election campaign. Worse, we learned he did the same thing in 2015. “Despite marching in climate strikes, lecturing everybody else on lowering emissions and imposing a carbon tax on hard-working Canadians, Justin Trudeau and the Liberals are secretly using two … [Read more...]
Gamil Gharbi Day – Because blaming the millions of men who didn’t kill anyone is always in fashion!
This is part of my ongoing series on Canadian Mass Murders. It comes as no surprise to me, nor should it come as one to you, that December 6th is dedicated to hating men when the official Montreal Massacre narrative says all men are responsible for Gamil Gharbi's actions. Garbage. This flies in the face of the facts spelled out by Montreal coroner Teresa Sourour in … [Read more...]
Claude Ritchie Learns an Expensive Lesson in Personal Responsibility
When I read the headline “Cyclist ordered to pay man $226,000” I thought the award was outrageous. Perhaps even ridiculous. Then I read the article and the actual court ruling in the case of Jang v. Ritchie (Jang v. Ritchie 2013 BCSC 2459) and came to a very different conclusion. The award is far too low. Claude Ritchie learned a very costly lesson. He is now on the … [Read more...]
What does Jay-Walking have to do with Liberty?
What does Jay-Walking have to do with Liberty? Actually, that’s the wrong question. The correct question is this: Why do we refuse to teach our children personal responsibility? Why make it a crime to cross the street wherever you choose? I can hear the gasps of horror already and I've not even finished penning this article! But if everyone just crossed the road wherever … [Read more...]
Some People Despise Liberty and they’ll say or do anything to take yours away too
It would seem Toronto’s Ron Charach didn’t get cuddled enough by his mommy when he was young, or perhaps he had no strong manly figure around to teach him what it means to be, well, manly. Whatever the failings of Mr. Charach’s upbringing may be, they combined to create a man who utterly despises personal responsibility and is determined to do whatever it takes to strip … [Read more...]
The Solution to Canada’s Political Apathy
I've often said in times past that the solution to the political apathy Canada is drowning in would be solved if we just shut down professional hockey. No more Hockey Night in Canada, no more government bailouts of millionaire players and billionaire owners. Just get rid of the sport entirely. That was many years ago, the last time there was an NHL lockout, or as I prefer … [Read more...]
Nova Scotia provincial Judge Gregory Lenehan stupidly joins the “ban camp”
Anything that might possibly be used as a weapon should just be banned. That’s the flawed logic of left-wing idiots like Toronto city councilor Adam Vaughan and now, apparently, Nova Scotia Provincial Court Judge Gregory Lenehan. It’s just so much easier to ban a physical item than do something about the moron using something as a weapon, isn’t it? After all, this is … [Read more...]
Gun Safety Rules must be followed if you don’t want to shoot your penis off
While some people insist on calling this sort of thing an "accidental discharge" I prefer the vastly more accurate term "negligent discharge". It was no accident that an unnamed man in Birmingham, Alabama, shot himself in the penis on June 12, 2012 and was taken to Royal Oak Beaumont Hospital. It was because he was negligent and refused to follow the very simplest of … [Read more...]
DEA Agent Lee Paige loses case centering around his shooting himself during a gun safety demonstration
Lee Paige, the DEA's poster-boy for how NOT to handle a firearm, is apparently still a Drug Enfrocement Agency (DEA) special agent stationed in Orlando, Florida, according to a report found online. You may recall the 2004 video of DEA Special Agent Lee Paige shooting himself in the leg mere seconds after claiming “I'm the only one in this room professional enough, that I … [Read more...]
School Shootings Suck
Some kids in Toronto decided that shooting a gun inside the high school was a good idea. Everyone ran from the scene, and nobody was killed, thank God. A few probably had to clean their shorts after too, but that's hardly the worst thing in the world, especially if the jerk who pulled the trigger was the one doing the shorts-cleaning. The downside is that the kid who … [Read more...]
