When you break the law in Canada, be it one of our many firearm laws or some other section of the Criminal Code, how you are treated by our justice system depends solely upon your legal status at the time of your offence. What's the colour of the stripe running down your pant legs? What? No stripe? Then may God have mercy on you because Canada's justice system certainly … [Read more...]
Monty Robinson Sentenced to Prison? It’s a MIRACLE!
I’m here in Whitehorse, Yukon Territory, for Jane Gaffin’s Celebration of Life event (more on that later) and much to my shock and surprise Allen Carlos tells me that one of the cops who killed Robert Dziekanski was sentenced to prison time for perjury. I wracked my brain to remember who had gone on trial so far in this endless debacle. The first cop was acquitted although I … [Read more...]
Shocking News! Robert Dziekanski’s Death at the hands of RCMP Thugs Ruled a Homicide!
It only took the BC Coroners Service 5 years… It’s rather astounding, I must admit, but the BC Coroners Service finally reached the blatantly obvious conclusion that Robert Dziekanski’s death was a homicide. From the Toronto Sun: The coroner’s report (download PDF) released Monday found that Dziekanski, 40, died from a heart attack moments after four RCMP officers zapped … [Read more...]

Gamil Gharbi Day: a memorial to a lunatic and Canada’s dedication to punishing the people who did NOT commit the crime
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...]
Christy Clark Caves in to RCMP Contract Negotiations
While hardly a surprise, I was holding out hope that the so-called “savior” of British Columbia, unelected Premier Christy Clark, would actually stand up to Ottawa and show the citizens of this fine province who is running the show. Apparently, the answer to that is quite simple: Ottawa. Yesterday, just one hour after word leaked that BC and Ottawa were about to sign a … [Read more...]
RCMP Corporal Benjamin Monty Robinson: Reason #4 for BC to Dump the RCMP
RCMP Corporal Monty Robinson is pretty much the poster-boy for everything that's wrong with the RCMP, both here in British Columbia and across the nation. Corporal Robinson’s case shows us the stark, horrific reality of the inner workings of the RCMP itself: how the RCMP has no real desire for accountability, the incredible lengths the RCMP will go to in order to … [Read more...]
Suspension with pay for killing a man, suspension without pay for not going to a pro-Islamic meeting?
In this tale of two police forces, I'll be delving into two cases of police suspensions and examine what constitutes grounds for suspension without pay in an American city police force, and then what constitutes grounds for suspension with pay in the RCMP. First up, the Oklahoma City Police. I was horrified a while back when I read about the case of Oklahoma Police … [Read more...]

RCMP Constable Gerry Rundel, RCMP Constable Bill Bentley, RCMP Corporal Monty Robinson and RCMP Constable Kwesi Millington, the four men who killed Robert Dziekanski in Vancouver International Airport, have now been charged with perjury for lying about their actions to the inquiry into Robert Dziekanski's death.

Lorne Gunter’s Lost Faith in our Police
Lorne Gunter wrote an excellent piece on his lost faith in police, and how it all started with the murder of Robert Dziekanski by 4 RCMP members in 2007. I’m actually surprised that Lorne’s loss of faith in our front-line police started so late. I’m surprised, because Lorne is well-known to be a man who looks into these sorts of things and does his best to get to the bottom … [Read more...]
RCMP Accountability in BC
Dave Eby, the executive director of the BC Civil Liberties Association, held a weekend workshop in Prince George two weeks ago. It was part of his tour of northern and interior towns to educate people on their rights, how to exercise them effectively when dealing with the RCMP, and to get feedback on RCMP practices in the area. The general findings on the meeting were not … [Read more...]
