MP Cheryl Gallant Tables Bill C-222 to Limit Expropriations of Private Property

Published March 12, 2020 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Property Rights


MP Cheryl Gallant Tables Bill C-222 to Limit Expropriations of Private Property

In Canada, property rights are provincial jurisdiction, except when they’re not. There is some federal overlap and overreach, and it’s the overreach Cheryl Gallant addresses in her Private Member’s Bill C-222, introduced to Parliament on February 17, 2020. To understand how intertwined these issues are, it’s necessary to briefly delve into the history of property rights and … [Read more...]

Will Canada’s Battle for Property Rights Begin in Alberta?

Published March 17, 2019 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Elections, Politics, Property Rights, Rights


Will the national battle for the inclusion of property rights in Canada’s constitution begin in Alberta? It will if Jason Kenney leads the United Conservative Party (UCP) to victory in the upcoming Alberta provincial election. “At the heart of our approach is the firm belief that property rights, including landowner rights, are inherent civil rights. What you are seeing … [Read more...]

The NFA does NOT represent me, say gun owners

Published June 28, 2017 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Canada's Powerful Gun Lobby


Firearm enthusiast Jeff Young posted a great quip on Facebook recently. I am a law-abiding Canadian firearms owner. The scandal-plagued NFA (Canada's National Firearms Association) does NOT represent me. His message was in response to news reports the National Firearms Association used a mailing list stolen from the Conservative Party of Canada to solicit memberships and … [Read more...]

Did the NFA send a SECOND mailout to stolen CPC membership list?

Published June 13, 2017 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Canada's Powerful Gun Lobby


Sunday afternoon I received, via email, a scanned copy of a second, yes, second NFA fundraising letter sent to the stolen CPC mailing list. This new NFA fundraising letter starts off: "There's a big fight coming. You know it, and I know it. Prime Minster Justin Trudeau is going to take away more gun rights." The female recipient of this latest NFA fundraising letter is … [Read more...]

CSSA Commentary: Property Rights, Privacy, Integrity and the Firearms Community

Property Rights, Privacy, Integrity and the Firearms Community via CSSA eNews The CSSA is expressing its disappointment regarding the actions of a fellow Canadian firearm advocacy group in the rising waters of a CPC membership list scandal poised to drown that group. “The CSSA condemns the actions of the National Firearms Association (NFA) and its use of improperly … [Read more...]

US Eminent Domain Case proves government should leave mere citizens alone

Published December 8, 2013 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Property Rights, The Great Nanny State


It was a landmark ruling when it first came out, cited by anyone with an ounce of common sense as the Death of Property Rights. While that assessment is correct, the eventual outcome of the land seizures by the Kelo v. City of New London US Supreme Court decision. Why am I writing about an American court decision in a Canadian Rights and Freedoms Blog? We’re abusing the … [Read more...]

Two Self-Defense Cases End with Prison Term for homeowner in one, offender in other

Published December 4, 2013 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Abusive Prosecutions, Canada's Firearms Act, Wrongful Convictions


When faced with a trespassing criminal, Canada’s laws on the use of force to repel criminals on our own property are still a terrifying mess. Firing a warning shot is deemed legal in Saskatchewan but criminal in Ontario. Both cases involve elderly Canadians who fired warning shots to scare away criminals. In the case of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, resident Hugh Lindholm the … [Read more...]

High River RCMP Thieves Stole More Than Just Guns…

Published July 5, 2013 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Courts, Police, Police Misconduct, Property Rights, RCMP Accountability, Rights, Warrantless Searches


It's what we feared all along. After RCMP members broke into the homes of flood victims in High River, Alberta, they stole far more than just guns.  While illegally searching the homes of Canadians without a search warrant, High River's RCMP thieves just couldn't help themselves to a few extra items "since they were there". One female resident is making a unique plea that … [Read more...]

RCMP Violates Property Rights of High River Flood Victims, Searches Homes and Seizes Their Firearms Without Warrant

Published June 27, 2013 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Abuse of Police Authority, Abuse of Trust, Charter of Rights and Freedoms Breaches, Police, Police Misconduct, Privacy Rights, Property Rights, Rights, Warrantless Searches


It’s a story we’ve seen too many times before... the RCMP willingly and completely without legal justification searches homes without a warrant and seizes firearms “for the public good”.  No crime is alleged or presumed, just the same tired old mantra “Guns Are Bad” and therefore must be seized.  Illegally, I might add. High River Alberta's flood victims are victimized … [Read more...]

Anyone hanging out here for any length of time will already be familiar with Bureaucrat's Rule #1, but for the benefit of any newcomers, here it is in all its repulsive glory: Bureaucrat's Rule #1:  The Rules are More Important than People As you can see, it's quite a simple rule and it is gleefully used the world over by tyrannical bureaucrats who love nothing more than … [Read more...]

Douglas Ranch: When Property Rights and your sense of entitlement clash, property rights win

Published April 6, 2012 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Property Rights


There was an odd story emanating from the CBC yesterday (nothing unusual there) where those nasty rich Americans were being mean to honest, hardworking Canadians who just wanted to go fishing. Those so-called nasty Americans are Stan and Ann Kroenke, the owners of the Douglas Ranch, located near Merritt, British Columbia.  Those honest, hardworking Canadians are members of … [Read more...]

Albertans: Alison Redford stole your property rights. NOW is the time to take them back.

Published March 27, 2012 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Politics, Property Rights, Rights


Most Albertans have no idea that the Progressive Conservative government, under the so-called “leadership” of Ed Stelmach and Alison Redford, literally extinguished property rights in the province of Alberta.  This was done in a deceitfully systematic and methodical way using Bill 50, Bill 19, Bill 36 and Bill 10. The combined effect of these laws and the order in which a … [Read more...]

Bill 36: Stripping Property Rights from Albertans

Published March 12, 2012 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Charter of Rights and Freedoms Breaches, Property Rights, Rights


Alison Redford's so-called conservative government's decision to implement Bill C-36, The Land Stewardship Act, which effectively gives control of all land in Alberta to the provincial government, is a death blow to property rights in Alberta. Under this law, government bureaucrats will now dictate to land owners what they can and cannot do on their own land. If this sounds … [Read more...]

Bankrupting the Jaworski’s for Daring To Host a Freedom Conference

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


Property Rights... they don't actually exist in Canada under Trudeau's Charter.  Most don't realize that.  Worse still, Canada's Supreme Court has upheld this fact in the Authorson v. Canada (Attorney General), 2003 SCC 39, [2003] 2 S.C.R. 40. In that case, the SCC upheld Parliament's right to steal veterans pensions, because Parliament had made clear its intent to do … [Read more...]
