The whole legal system needs Tort Reform. The civil standard of “More likely than Not”, or 51% is in itself the definition of racketeering by Lawyers. The very idea that collusion between lawyers is NOT a standard practice is a fantasy.
Thanks a lot LAW N’ ORDER Tuff on Krime Conservatives. More of this is coming from the HarperCons.
I forwarded that URL to all those on my contact list….
Funny thing is about 40 minutes back, I saw a coupla pickups…stand abreast then accelerate away…..both them guys coulda lost the wheels……just like that….
Like…..what’s the line between a “whoops” and criminal negligence..?? especially with a traffic offence??
“Like…..what’s the line between a “whoops” and criminal negligence..?? especially with a traffic offence??” What ever the chief gestapo cop….er…city/provincial/federal cop decides. Remember,they can even re-classify guns now without any oversight!
Thanks Karen for all you do. Our political masters, of all stripes, are leading us into their statist paradise. History tells us that there is no turning back. Only a complete reset ie a complete collapse of society and the economy will produce the environment necessary for a reset.
Kate,
I wonder if Karen Selick would comment………. If “PROPERTY RIGHTS” were enshrined into our Canadian Constitution, would the issue of which she speaks in the video piece,be able to stand ?
My proposal IS to petition the Federal Government with the following petition as described below the dotted line.
…………………………………………………………………………………………………….
PETITION TO THE HOUSE OF COMMONS
IN PARLIAMENT ASSEMBLED
We, the undersigned citizens of Canada draw the attention of the House to the following: THAT : as individual Citizens of Canada WE do NOT enjoy the protection of “PROPERTY RIGHTS” within the Constitution of Canada ! hence, THE LAW of Canada!
THEREFORE: Your petitioners call upon Parliament to forthwith, incorporate and entrench FOREVER , individual “PROPERTY RIGHTS” INTO THE CONSTITUTION OF CANADA.
I AM

I hope my brother sees this.
Conservatives are NOT being well served by our MP’s or Provincial politicians,as this type of issue flies under the radar. What’s Hudak’s take on this?
I didn’t know Jim Flaherty, poster boy for all that’s good about the CPC, was responsible for this grossly corruptible legislation.
It seems Mr,Harper is taking on the more important items,like the situation in Ukraine, to the neglect of his own constituency at home.
And, as Selick mentioned, the Liberal government here in BC is ramping up the legalized theft to accumulate more property and money to help finance their corrupt regime. Almost every gun owner in the Country is at risk if he dares forget a .22 cartridge on his workbench.
This is very discouraging,there doesn’t seem to be a political Party that is interested in doing anything about it. We need a “Che”,I’m afraid, not another election.
We are ruled/governed by Left,or Far left,or WAY farther Left in this Country,even centrist parties have gone like the Dodo.
“Thanks Karen for all you do.”
Amen! Karen is a National Treasure! Out of the tens upon tens of thousands of lawyers in this country, only a handful (Judith Wilcox and Kurtis Andrews come to mind) have any concern about our deteriorating property rights.
And as Don Morris pointed put, the vast majority of our so-called “Conservative” MPs and MLAs, although they might give lip service to supporting property rights, more often than not rise in favour of legislation that takes it away.
2 problems with going to our ‘betters’ on bended knee asking(!) for our property rights:
1) Our constitution is one where our rights have an asterisks next to it in the form of the Notwithstanding Clause. So even if Parliament managed to hold a Constitutional Convention where by some miracle Property Rights were inserted, Parliament could override those rights.
2) Simply inserting Property Rights into the Constitution won’t make them inviolable if the ‘legal’ ‘system’ and Parliament won’t uphold them. Both have shown that they are loath to recognize the individual having supremacy vis-a-vis the collective when it comes to rights.
I listened to this last week. Its genius. Our politicians are -worse- than Obama. Believe it.
Yeah, but Justin’s gonna fix it all when he becomes PM!
Strike me dead with lightning,Lord.
The first thing you have to do is shake off the idea that they are your “betters”. They are not. They are your employees.
The second thing you have to do is demand, not ask.
If we had a population with guts, the likelihood of Parliament “over-riding” rights would be negligible.
“The first thing you have to do is shake off the idea that they are your “betters”. They are not. They are your employees.”
Well, yes, which is my I put betters in quotes. But they very much do view it that way, as does a large portion of our population.
“The second thing you have to do is demand, not ask.”
The very fact that you have to demand(ask, whatever) in the first place for Parliament to give you a right should tell you how much they give a poop about the issue. Threaten not to vote or donate, they shrug and ride off into the sunset with their 100% pension. The system as it is is broken, that’s what I’m saying.
“If we had a population with guts, the likelihood of Parliament “over-riding” rights would be negligible.”
Guts. And money, and time, and the resources to take on the unlimited State that doesn’t want you to have property rights. Again, the system as it is is broken.
“And money, and time, and the resources to take on the unlimited State that doesn’t want you to have property rights”
Not at all. All it would take is for a sufficient number of people to get angry. But 99.9 percent of this country sits, and moans, and pisses and whines. You can’t even get them to write a letter to their MPs, or to show up at a local council meeting.
Nope, lack of guts is the problem.
I think I posted this video a couple of times , my purpose was to call attention to who Karen says is responsible for bring civil forfeiture to Canada – our Tory Ex-finance minister. You get a picture of just how contemptuous Ottawa/governing culture is of private property rights – yes even Tories. Outside of the herculean efforts of MP Garry Breitkreuz (who Harper planted on the back benches) there would not have been even a peep out of this lot of Ottawa-ized Tories concerning entrenching personal property rights.
Garry has tabled a private members bill to entrench it in the charter 3 times – each time it lacked even support from his own party to go forward to committee. All of which tends to validate the fact that the kleptocratic culture passed down from Canada’s colonial days to the 1982 collectivist state charter and now relished by collectivist statists of ALL parties is just too sweet a deal to disrupt with property rights. They have a licence to steal! Why give that up on some lofty moral premise?
Change will not come from within the governing system – this is a right that must be demanded by us in the same latitude we hold the right to life, right of free expression and the deteriorating right to privacy (our right to fundamental personal dignity). It’s unfortunate that the statist socialist indoctrinating machine has conditioned a couple of generations of Canadians into feeling guilty for who they are let alone in demanding government respect for the fruits of their personal labor – we are a nation made too politically demented to have the self-respect needed to take the issue of loss of fundamental rights forward.
This was a fascinating listen.
A pox on Jim Flarity, and to the Conservatives for allowing this.
Good for Karen Sellick, and btw, as she mentioned, CCF (too bad this organization is by the initials to the commie lites) is a registered charitable organization, and to which I contribute.
Does no one stand for freedom anymore?
Well SP, under your commie friends it would be one he**ofa lot worse.
B-but incrementalism! Long-game! BEST GOVERNMENT EVAR (TM)!
You nailed it. And your last paragraph points the accusing finger exactly where it should point – at average Canadians, who are too cowed to demand (I’m glad somebody else uses that word) the fundamental rights that the social (and socialist) engineers are whittling away.
I personally know this family, the RCMP pulled him over last week and beat the snot out of him.
RIGHTS? What rights?
You only have rights you are willing to fight for , and spill blood if necessary!
So yes every single last one of us, including every person who has commented on here today are all just as guilty, and lazy and useless and the others you are pointing your fingers at!,
I put forth a challenge , I will go and protest with anyone in this room who is willing to NOT go to work, or anything until there demands are met. ……kinda puts things in perspective don’t it.
But I can’t Kane to go to work I can’t just skip work.
I love my job.
But to skip work and lie would be immoral.
You all have excuses don’t ya!!
The gig is up I am pissed at Harper now , and the whole gov beurocracy , the other parties are even worse.
I trusted this party to really change things.
I had never heard of Karen Selick until now …. I watched the whole video …. I had always seen forfeiture laws as something good …. wow !!! …. what an eye opener …. thank you Karen !!!! Thank you Kate !!!!!
Karen personifies the reason Harper distanced himself from libertarians a few years back. She has principles that she does not cast aside to pimp the vote of the far more numerous demographic of the mindless middle of the political spectrum. Conservative progressives cede liberty more conservatively in most other issues but in the law and order, police state arena, they excel.
got my coffey and having a listen..
