Who gets to decide what counts as “hate” in Canada? Apparently, activist groups like the “Canadian Anti-Hate Network.” 😵‍💫 That should concern anyone who values free expression. Read the latest from Amy Hamm @preta_6 @nationalpost: nationalpost.com/opinion/oh-gre…

🚨 Legal Authority, Health Canada, and the Fight for Health Freedom Constitutional lawyer Shawn Buckley - @nhppa - sits down with law professor @PardyBruce to explore how Canada’s drug approval system turned Health Canada into the gatekeeper of our personal health decisions. Everything from ginger tea to vitamins is legally a “drug” — illegal until the bureaucracy says otherwise. Only patented synthetic chemicals get easy approval and dominate our healthcare system. The state claims authority over what we can put in our bodies … not for public safety, but simply because it has the power to decide. No real duty to protect your health. No real accountability when decisions cause harm. Courts often defer under “reasonableness” — even if the decision is wrong. Bruce Pardy puts it plainly: This isn’t about science, outcomes, or the public interest. It’s about authority — and we’ve handed the state control that historically only slave owners had over bodies.

Chief Rosanne Casimir claims a 1.25 million hectare title area, 50% revenue sharing, and Indigenous laws standing alongside Canadian law will bring “certainty.” British Columbians should read that carefully. This was supposed to be about consultation. Now it’s being framed as shared authority, while people are told not to worry about their homes or businesses. You should absolutely be worried about your future. This concentrates power over land, resources, and decision-making across a massive region, without a public mandate. That should concern everyone. youtu.be/1PEzqQPkUd8?si…

"This is interference by the state in a matter that shouldn't concern them at all. They should get their noses out of this. This is part of living. I would've thought in a somewhat free country you'd be able to choose to, to treat yourself in the way that you see best... Whether it's through food, whether it's through natural remedies or whether it's through other kind of treatments. The individual is supreme, and any regulation that takes that decision making power away is... I don't want to overuse the word, but it's getting into a kind of tyranny." ~ Bruce Pardy Professor Bruce Pardy is a professor of law at Queen’s University, the executive director of Rights Probe, and a leading voice on rights and the rule of law in Canada. With decades of experience teaching and writing about constitutional and administrative law, Pardy brings sharp insight into how government authority operates—and overreaches—when it comes to personal health decisions. In this interview, he explores the legal and philosophical foundations of Health Canada’s authority and why it represents not protection but control.

From my count, each prediction of @PardyBruce has come to fruition. Accordingly, expect a police state soon Canadians. Christians: your culturally uninvolved pastors share much blame. Did they ever plan protests of C-9?

@mrsabrabbit Nope. The Supreme Court has the power to interpret the Constitution. It can’t change the words of the written text, but it can dictate what the words mean, and “find” things in there that aren’t written down. In effect, we are ruled not by the Constitution but by the Court.

@PardyBruce doesn’t such action require opening the constitution? 🤔

Take 4 minutes, @PardyBruce is always worth a listen. Let it be known that I detest, in the strongest possible terms, this federal Liberal government.

Your rights aren't about you—they're about other people. Your right to life means others can't kill you. Your property rights mean others can't interfere with your car. Rights limit what others can do, not what you're entitled to. #Rights #Liberty #Philosophy

Free speech is part of the foundation of a free society. In this new episode of "The Liberty Exchange" podcast, host and Libertarianism.org Director Jonathan Fortier talks with @PardyBruce about the assaults on free speech in Canada, the UK, and Europe. These moves to censor and control speech, especially online content, are ominous indicators of multiple assaults on free expression and political liberty.

Terrific but frustrating column to read from @AristotleFdn senior fellow @PardyBruce in @nationalpost . "Race-based sentencing has become commonplace in Canada. The sentence doesn’t fit the crime but the identity of the criminal." nationalpost.com/opinion/bruce-…

The invocation of the Emergencies Act unjustifiably violated the freedom of expression of Canadians, among other violations. Four judges from two levels of court have now stated this definitively. We hope that the Supreme Court of Canada comes to the same conclusion, but we have reason to be concerned about the impartiality of the highest court on this issue. As detailed by Professor Pardy in his National Post article in June 2022 (linked below), Chief Justice Wagner commented in Le Devoir earlier that year, condemning the Trucker Convoy. A group of lawyers filed a complaint to the Canadian Judicial Council, which was summarily dismissed, arguing that Wagner's criticisms undermined confidence in the impartiality of the courts. As Pardy notes, the Ethical Principles for Judges guidance specifically states that "statements evidencing prejudgment...may destroy the appearance of impartiality," and judges "should avoid using words or conduct, in and out of court, that might give rise to a reasonable perception of an absence of impartiality." Wagner himself participated in a 2015 decision in which the Supreme Court said, "Traditionally, judicial comment on political matters is regarded as inappropriate." We are free speech maximalists, but judges do not have unbridled free speech. That's part of the bargain of becoming a judge. They must at least keep up the appearance of neutrality by declining to comment on matters that may come before the bench or that may disclose a particular bias. Chief Justice Wagner must recuse himself from this case, if not step down entirely, to preserve the integrity of this institution.

“How can this be? Doesn’t the law prohibit discrimination? In Canada, the answer is no. Americans have a constitutional right to equal protection of the law. Canadians don’t.” Bruce Pardy National Post apple.news/Af-nurRxVTKKjf… This material may be protected by copyright.

"In Canada, legal equality now means equity. Equity means unequal treatment. The same laws and standards do not apply to everyone. Instead, laws and institutions can treat different identity groups differently. In criminal sentencing, as in applications for jobs, schools, and programs, some Canadians are more equal than others. Canada’s justice system is broken. To fix it, equity must go." It seems, when unequal treatment is applied then, victims are also getting unequal treatment. This leaves us with different classes and tiers for victims. Did the courts even consider the outcome of swapping out equalty for equity. In a sense they do victimize the victims.

Should your prison sentence depend on your crime or your skin color? @PardyBruce : "Americans have a constitutional right to equal protection of the law. Canadians don't."

Equity is Canada’s scourge. My latest for @nationalpost nationalpost.com/opinion/bruce-…

Alberta to stop mandating Indigenous education course cbc.ca/news/canada/ca… "...a Calgary-based lawyer with the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms, called the course 're-education, or indoctrination, into a particular brand of wokeness called decolonization'"

Can a Separate & Independent Alberta Build a Free Society? A powerful discussion on true freedom for an independent Alberta, centered on the vision for a radically limited government. Professor @PardyBruce argues current systems (in Canada and even the U.S.) start with an all-powerful state and carve out weak exceptions (like “rights” that courts dilute). His proposal FLIPS this completely: the state has no powers except a few strictly defined ones. KEY LIGHTS FOR FREEDOM • Freedom = No Coercion (the bedrock rule) • Flip the Default on State Power (“the state can do nothing except...”) • Strip Away the Managerial State • Self-Defense and Armed Citizens • Escape Canada and PURGE Canada from Alberta • The Constitution as the “Dictator” (assume bad actors in power; the constitution must work in spite of them) Host @NadineWellwood in conversation with @PardyBruce and Dr. A.W.
