What does a burning Ukraine Police Station and the High River RCMP have in Common? Both police forces have no respect for their citizens or the Rule of Law. In the town of Vradiyevka, Ukraine, roughly 330 kilometers south of Kiev, furious protesters took to the streets after authorities refused to arrest a police officer suspected in the brutal gang-rape of a young woman … [Read more...]
A Victory for Privacy Rights! Conservatives Kill Bill C-30
[powerpress] Never let it be said that you can’t make a difference. When the Conservatives introduced Bill C-30, titled the Protecting Children from Internet Predators Act, Vic Toews said anyone who didn’t agree with the bill was standing “with the child pornographers”. In light of that stand, I suppose it’s reasonable to conclude Vic Toews is now standing “with … [Read more...]
Canadian Government will finally repeal gun show regulations
It's about time... too. This is one of the holdovers from the Liberals' failed Firearms Act. They had hoped to effectively ban Canadian gun shows by regulating them out of existence. Even the Liberals knew they faced an uphill battle with these and deferred them for years before eventually losing power to Stephen Harper's Conservative government, who has also deferred them … [Read more...]
Gun Registry Bureaucrats screwed up data entry so we should KEEP the flawed long gun registry?
Let me get this straight. Government bureaucrats screwed up on data entry so that's why we should KEEP the flawed long gun registry? That is a ludicrous argument, but that’s exactly what writer Patrick Cain of Global News is saying. Opponents of Canada’s gun registry have long argued that the system is useless precisely because the information in the database is … [Read more...]
Pro-Gun Groups praise Vic Toews for ending “back-door” registry, but did he really?
After Bill C-19 passed and was proclaimed into law Canada’s so-called “Long Gun Registry” was officially dead. Except that it wasn’t. The law said it was, but the RCMP is still dragging its heels when it comes to actually deleting the data contained in the registry database. They claimed it will take months to work out the details of how to delete the data which is, to be … [Read more...]
Police State: When the Police choose which laws they will obey
When the Police choose which laws they will obey, what do you have? This question has come up this week in the wake of the refusal of at least 5 provincial Chief Firearms Officers across Canada to obey the law of the land as expressed by the passage of Bill C-19. As most already know, Bill C-19 struck down the requirements for people to register their non-restricted … [Read more...]
Bill C-30’s invasions of privacy and warrantless searches are outrageous, but all the other Acts are just fine?
Bruce Cockburn wrote a famous song that contained the line “The trouble with normal is it only gets worse.” The same can be said for governments. They always get worse, too. The current so-called Conservative government is a perfect example of this, and Vic Toews unwittingly tried using this to his advantage. He quickly discovered, much to his dismay, that Canadians … [Read more...]
Inside the Prime Minister’s Office after Vic Toews called all Canadians child pornographers
This video contains language not suitable for all audiences, as the saying goes, but is absolutely hilarious nevertheless. This clip has floated around the internet for some time, but never in the context of opposing Bill C-30. If you have a sense of humour, enjoy. And while you're here, how about downloading my Stop Bill C-30 WordPress plugin and installing it on your … [Read more...]
Protect Your Right to Privacy and Help Stop Bill C-30
The Conservative Government of Stephen Harper has introduced Bill C-30, disingenuously named the Protecting Children from Internet Predators Act. This Act seeks to force Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to provide police with your personal private information WITHOUT A SEARCH WARRANT. Warrantless searches are not something Canadians should tolerate or be subjected to. If … [Read more...]
Public Safety Minister Vic Toews: Are you really as incompetent as your protestations make you appear?
I couldn't help but laugh as I read reports that Public Safety Minister Vic Toews is suddenly shocked to learn what Bill C-30,the "Protecting Children from Internet Predators Act", actually contains. I find this odd, since I've listened to him defend Bill C-30 repeatedly and blather on endlessly about how police can never abuse their powers under this act; that he is … [Read more...]
Canada’s useless “Gun Control” system fails again, almost gets cop killed
The many failures of Canada’s “gun control” scheme are well known to anyone willing to actually look at the facts. For those unwilling to do so, however, no amount of proof that the system doesn’t work will ever be enough. The latest proof of the uselessness and dangerousness of the current gun control scheme comes from Kamloops, British Columbia, where a convicted drug … [Read more...]
Sun TV’s Brian Lilley comprehends the issue, why can’t Public Safety Minister Vic Toews?
As most in the know in gun circles has been aware of for some time, the RCMP is demanding that owners of a specific .22 calibre rifle, the Armi Jager AP-80, turn in their rifles for destruction without compensation. This rifle that merely looks like, as Brian Lilley said on his Sun TV show Byline, "the dreaded AK-47", but has no parts in common with it and cannot be converted … [Read more...]
