New Book Highlights How Government Missed the Target With Bill C-71

Published May 29, 2018 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Gun Politics


After reading Bill C-71, The Firearms Owners Harassment Act, and digging into its details, I teamed up with Nicolas Johnson (TheGunBlog.ca) to write the book on Bill C-71. Our goal: help liberty lovers connect with their MPs, engage in the political process and make our views known. We are grateful to former MP Garry Breitkreuz for writing the Foreword and to the Canadian … [Read more...]

Canadian Government will finally repeal gun show regulations

Published September 9, 2012 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Canada's Firearms Act, Guns


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...]

Since the RCMP won’t delete the long gun registry data like the law says, the CSSA wants to make the database completely useless

Published September 2, 2012 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Canada's Firearms Act, Gun Politics, Gun Registration, Political Antics


The Canadian Shooting Sports Association (CSSA) is not impressed with the RCMP's refusal to obey the law and delete long gun records from Canada's useless gun registry. With the passage of Bill C-19 and its Royal Assent on April 5, 2012 all of this data was to be destroyed, but the RCMP has yet to destroy a single record according to sources close to the RCMP. In the … [Read more...]

City of Toronto reverses decision to ban medal-winning sport shooters from Ontario Summer Games promotional event

Published July 24, 2012 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Bureaucratic Incompetence, Gun Politics


Cockroaches and politicians have one thing in common. Both scurry for the shadows when the spotlight is on them.  In the case of Toronto politicians, that spotlight is public displeasure with their latest stupid decision. As I wrote yesterday, gold-medal sport shooters Chris Baldwin, 18, and Sabrina Sergeant, 17, were told they were not welcome as Ambassadors to promote the … [Read more...]

Ontario Summer Games Committee to award-winning target shooters: You’re Not Welcome Here

Published July 23, 2012 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Bureaucratic Incompetence, Gun Politics


Politicians and bureaucrats have an incredible talent for sending precisely the wrong message. In this regard the Government of Ontario and the City of Toronto have combined for a new all-time low: blaming two award-winning sport shooting youths for Toronto’s ongoing gun and gang crime problem. Chris Baldwin, 18, and Sabrina Sergeant, 17, are both very accomplished … [Read more...]

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...]
