Keeping the Public Safe

Wednesday, August 13th, 2008

Public Safety Minister Stockwell Day announced a new pilot project to use GPS technology to monitor parolees.
Day said that the ankle bracelets, equipped with Global Positioning System receivers, will be used on selected “high-risk” parolees who pose a threat of violence, in hopes of reducing the chances of reoffending.  “We want to make sure that [...]

McGuinty Declares War on Handguns to End Violence in Ontario Schools

Wednesday, September 12th, 2007

Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty is afraid of an “American-style” school system with metal detectors and security guards.  Of course, Liberals are afraid of anything “American”.  According to Liberals, if something is done in the US, then there must be a better way!
“I would be very reluctant for Ontario to embrace the Americanization of public education,” [...]

What’s Wrong With Undercover Surveilance?

Saturday, August 25th, 2007

Many in the media and other left-leaning organizations have been critical of the Sûreté du Québec for planting undercover officers inside a demonstration at last week’s meeting of Canadian, US and Mexican leaders in Montebello, Québec.  They accuse the police of intentionally trying to incite violence and of infringing on our right to peacefully protest.

Every time a stray bullet kills someone in Toronto, the leftist moonbats are immediately calling for an outright ban on handguns.  Today the far leftist Toronto Star has this editorial calling for a ban, as well as this column on how the Conservatives reject a ban on handguns.
It is completely naive to think that such a ban [...]

Our Liberal Judges Will Destroy Canada!

Wednesday, July 18th, 2007

I’ve heard a lot of insane and stupid decisions from Canada’s Liberal judges, but this story (h/t National Newswatch) tops the list!
Canadian border guards are stunned by a landmark Provincial Court ruling that they must obtain a warrant before thoroughly searching a suspicious vehicle.
A little-noticed decision last week acquitted a B.C. man of importing 50 kilograms [...]

Some Good News Reported About the Afghan Mission

Thursday, July 12th, 2007

On July 4, I wrote about how the goals and strategy in the current Afghan mission are generally not understood, misrepresented or not properly reported by the opposition and the mainstream media.
In response to Jack Layton’s suggestion that Canada is fighting a hopeless battle against the Taliban, I wrote, in part, the following… 
It is not the role of [...]

Jack Layton Just Doesn’t Understand the Afghan Mission

Wednesday, July 4th, 2007

Today is another sad day, as six more Canadian lives were lost in the war in Afghanistan.  As always, our soldiers should be kept in our thoughts and prayers.
Right on cue, Taliban Jack Layton held a press conference in the National Press Theatre, which he often does every time one of our brave soldiers dies in [...]
