The Work Never Ends at the Ministry of Social Engineering and Government Protection

The Ministry of Social Engineering and Government Protection is my new name for the Supreme Court of Canada. I think it more appropriate to think of them as deputy Ministers rather than Justices or Jesters of the Court. Like medieval times when the clergy were the only literate people in the kingdom; the scholars of the time who saw to the administration of the realm. Like their predecessors of old the Ministers of the SE&GP have a real sweet deal they have complete autonomous control over a branch of the Government; they have tenure for life (or age 75 which ever comes first); they can't be sacked; they have more power than the elected members of Parliament; can blame Parliament or protect parliament depending on the current agenda; strike down statutes and law(not even the queen does that these days) for a whopping 300-350k per year with a obese pension; come to think of it they have a sweeter deal.

There is a pesky myth today; that people are entitled to a day in court and a right to appeal to the highest court; nonsense!!!!! That would mean they have an entitlement to justice; as anyone who follows the goings on in our "legal system" would know there is no justice. Except where there are a few fossil judges or rebels that roil against this mockery and try to fight the system from within but they are far and few between and actually they are dying out relegated to serve out their tenure on the same bench in the same court probably in an obscure place never seeing elevation or promotion. I digress

The minister of the SE&GP are nine in total with power greater than a Queen. Set for life they are free to social engineer to their hearts content all under the guise of being judicial and official. They can even ignore their own decisions of previous rulings when deciding a matter before them either citing a unique situation(even though circumstances and points of law are very similar) or cite "community values being the tipping point of their decision. Abortion is one of the most famous rulings where security of the person was paramount despite deep division in the Canadian communities on the subject.

Freedom of speech is another right protected by the charter. Before the charter it was already a right at common law limited to what the law would allow; one could not use this right to incite the peace to be broken or used to commit fraud; criminal behaviour is never protected and slander and libel offend ones right to their reputation and good name. However I must stress that not everything the government says is criminal is unlawful. The Criminal Code of Canada has a few statutes in it that are aimed at personal pass times "victim-less" crimes. The struggle between classes of people is a political struggle and no where is it written that anyone has a right not to be offended by what some one says. Yet the hate speech statute is used regularly to attack political opponents or people that disagree with the current status quo. Our loving SE&GP has upheld this statute silencing debate on any controversial

We as Canadians and Subjects of the Crown have a right to have and carry arms for our defence. Unlike abortion no one has to stretch the meaning of a Charter right; no this right is plainly written albeit in Middle English and forms part of an unalterable part of the Constitution. I say unalterable mainly because you cannot turn one part of the Constitution on another, nor can you remove without the approval of the Provinces apart from Quebec and Ontario I would say that the other 8 provinces' Governments would be committing political suicide so agreement would be slim. As it stands the English Bill of Rights operates in full vigour in Canada.

Indeed; when the Ministry of Social Engineering and Government Protection says it does when it is trying to protect the Government as in Ref: Canada Constitutional Act and in Aurthurson when the Government is taking money away from a Veteran. However when it suits them it all of a sudden disappears as in Hasselwander which was a case involving firearms. Suddenly the Bill of Rights is meaningless. This is where they become the ever vigilant social engineers denying Canadians their right to have arms in their defence.

Two more cases involving a challenge to the firearms act(a statute not law) didn't even make it to the high court both their application for leave to appeal were dismissed without reason. Part of the quorum was the appeal Jester from Ontario that had given short shrift of the first case Montague at the first appeal and he got a second whack at someone challenging the firearms act in Hudson which involves the fundamental right to have a fair hearing before seized property could be destroyed by the Crown (a shotgun) even though this firearm was seized without charge or any criminal proceedings what ever against Dr Hudson. If either of these cases had made it to the high court it would have been news and it would brought national attention to a topic that neither the Government nor the Social Engineers in fancy dress want Canadians to know about.

I know some people would argue this on two points that A. There is no place in civil society for guns and B. We would be just like the Americans. To the first proposition I would ask: What do you think keeps society civil? Greater men than I have written volumes on the subject one in particular is Sir William Blackstone who stated that your rights would be in vain if not for this right. That you would be putting a great deal of trust in people that should not be trusted (both the Crown and Parliament) this right is the last line of defence of your rights and your freedom. The Government did not grant you your right in the first place they are not theirs to take; in truth as subjects of the Crown you were born with them.

But not according to our un-elected Ministers at Social Engineering. We have been told our rights are limited and not absolute. REALLY! Then how is it they are called rights? The Government can not give what they do not possess that is a maxim at law; no one can give what they do not have. If you have no authority you cannot give authority; if you have no rights you cannot give rights; the converse is also true you cannot take what is not yours; that is called theft. It is also called fraud when you intentionally mislead someone.

The English Parliament placed a limit on the powers of the crown. It stated categorically what the crown shall not do. It is also equally true that the House of Commons is the voice and will of the people; they took up the mantle of protecting the rights of the common people. However the Ministry of Social Engineering is of the belief that they are even supreme over Parliament they re-write statutes all the time they interpret the Charter and decide what are Canadian values; they alone have seized this authority. So like King John the first "the law is in their mouth"

I have heard it said in the media and by other commentators that Harper will remake Canada. The Ministry of Social Engineering and Government Protection has a 30 year head start on him and the ability to re-write what ever he does so how could that statement ever be true? The supreme court is far more scarier and powerful than Harper could ever be; they smile and sweetly pronounce their decisions dressed up in fine words. They not Harper will the death of freedom and democracy.

OMG!!!! REALLY?????? Once again the un-elected, un-accountable; social engineers strike again

The old maxim used to be let the punishment fit the crime, but this is Canada don't ya know eh!

In Canada the whole concept of punishing wrong doers is passe, and has been passe since the early seventies; Thank you Pierre Elliot Trudeau.

No indeed in Canada your crime is meaningless; your long history of crime is actually helpful if you happen to be an Indigenous person (Indian). Indeed that is the only consideration because the supreme court jesters say so; because Indians are over represented in prison doncha know!

This comedy routine known as the Supreme Court of Canada is really getting tired and calling them "justices" would be an oxymoron. They are as funny as seeing another rubber chicken or plastic doggy doo jape. Where is V when you need him?

I wouldn't mind them so much if they were called what they really are "The Ministry of Social Engineering and Protection of Government" because they stopped being a court of law years ago. They stopped applying the law and began Interpreting the law(Statutes because real law doesn't count in Canada) I know you might be asking "ya so what?". Well here is "what" the most basic and fundamental principal of law is that the "law" must be knowable you must be able to understand the law in order to stand under the law; if a Judge (which is a lawyer in a dress) must interpret what a law means; how on earth are you a poor simple un-educated peasant supposed to obey the law?

Another maxim that is routinely ignored is that "all are equal before the law" and equal protection of the law. How on earth is sentencing indigenous people lighter protecting other indigenous people from the violence these people perpetrate. The message that is sent is that indigenous people are incapable of living up to our standards, after all they are only natives; the remainder of the community? Well they must be used to it and accept it; its part of their culture.

The sentencing guide lines used by judges for indigenous people are found within an act of Parliament; again thank you Pierre Trudeau for such a "progressive" piece of legislation. Like all progressive social engineering it was passed with "Good Intentions" which means it is above reproach to question the wisdom of such an Act is to invite the label of "racist" to be visited upon you. Luckily I am beyond caring what I am labelled as by progressive hand wringers. Any Act of Parliament that "juvenilizes" an entire segment of population of Canada is the most pernicious bit of racism that could ever be contrived. Think of it just because you live on a reserve you are sentenced to live your days in fear of your fellow denizen because any crime that is committed against you is not denounced with the same sentence that would be given a "white man" in the same circumstances. Nice to know that your security is of less value than the "white mans" eh?

All this time when you supported the "special status" afforded your community I'll bet you never realized just how special you guys are? Perpetual children by statute. I'm sure the race hustlers will spin this in such a way that it will be our fault, but don't feel too bad; it has taken some of us a long while to learn that you never ask the government to fix anything social the cure is always worse than the problem and it is always done with good intentions.

One Ashamed Canadian

Last weekend in a discussion with my wife; who is absolutely flabbergasted at my interest in politics and rights. She has even suggested that perhaps I ought to emigrate to place or country where I would be happier; my reply was a very passionate over the top "Why? Why should I have to leave? It's my f**n country!!! My people cleared the land and began to build this Country. They fought the Americans twice; they chose British Freedom over American equality. They were among the western Grits that stood for property rights.

Hundreds of thousands of people over the centuries have made the ultimate sacrifice for this ideal known as freedom. Why should it be surprising when a man who is a life long student of history has become upset at the current state of our Country. Political correctness has grown from a nuisance to a pernicious disease; safety and security have become more important that liberty and rights. A single human life has become more important and valuable than good sense; the words "if it saves one life than its worth it." have become the bywords of progressive politicians and their allies the mainstream media to justify inane legislation that does nothing but strip away rights and freedom.

Worse still it has empowered unaccountable faceless bureaucrats to run roughshod over our lives. It has empowered a School Administrator in Kitchener Waterloo Ontario to even proclaim that they are "co-parents" of our children. Really? Where are they when it comes to ponying up for sports and dance classes? Even putting food on the table? Of course this only is invoked when they are messing with your life just ask Jesse Sansone. This case screams why bureaucrats and public servants must be held accountable for their actions; why they need their mandates reviewed and all their extraneous and intrusive powers need to be curtailed. It also is testament to the level of hysteria that people of fallen prey to where a gun is concerned.

In an ongoing instance is the case of Omar Khadr the progressives have fallen head over heals in love with this treasonous terrorist. The MSM and a chorus of other supporting cast all but gush over him. They even took his case to the supreme court of Canada; to get this poor little lost lamb back home. Really??????? This is a man who's most happy moment in life was when he tossed a grenade at our U.S. allies troops killing one and wounding another. In a plea bargain he received an 8 year sentence. Wow! He is now the mayor of Gitmo.

I used to have the highest regard for the judiciary and the Supreme Court of Canada. I used to see them as the shield against bad legislation; instead they have become the Government's shield against the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. If they are not going to apply the law which they are sworn to do then they need to be abolished or replaced. They have become capricious in interpretation of the laws and statutes creating a situation whereby the "law is in their mouths". Such thinking was the undoing of a King; such thinking caused a rebellion and the creation of the Magna Carta. Indeed this quaint relic as it is regarded as; which brought a king under the rule of law. It's truly a pity we do not have politicians of substance and parts that would remedy this situation. It would require Constitutional reform and reform of the Supreme Court Act. Hell would endure an ice age before this would happen; even if it did it would be too little too late, and would probably leave the sacred cows alone.

As titled; I am one ashamed Canadian. In fact my fellow Canadians even embarrass me with their anti American attitudes. I don't disagree that they sometimes behave badly and truly embarrass themselves but I will cut them a great deal of slack because in my view they are family. I share more values with my American cousins than I do my European acquaintances. Europeans are civil code subjects and do not share my innate sense of freedom that runs through every offspring of the British Isles. Canada would be a poor colony still if not for the United States we became a great nation with their support through trade. Many of the chattering classes would be poorer today without U.S. investment in this country. The U.S. economy catches a cold we get pneumonia. We are linked in more ways than one. This anti U.S. attitude is fleshed out by the mere fact that the erstwhile liberal government of Jean Chretien gushed over the Khadr family and intervened on their behalf to secure the release the Khadr senior from the Pakistani authorities who was in prison for his terrorist activities..

Quite frankly though what makes me ashamed the most is purely and simply this: The very idea of rights and freedom have become synonymous with "right wing nutjob" can't say it any planer than that. Wake up Canada you are sleep walking into stupid since when has that idea ever been about left or right? There are still people in the world that would love a fraction of our freedom and rights yet because some wonk in the chattering classes or MSM has labelled freedom as a radical idea you are willing to give up your freedom for the "Greater Good", or for a false sense of safety and security. Truly if you agree with this idea false utility then there is little hope for this country you will become as dependent upon the Government as a junkie is dependent on a dealer. You will find out the hard way that a government big enough to give you everything is big enough to take all you have from you. Hardly a fair trade and you will find that you have neither freedom nor security in the end.
