Eddie Maurice is being sued for more than $100,000. An intruder hit by the ricocheting bullet of a warning shot is doing the suing.
But that’s only the beginning.
Eddie was also going to be sued by the Government of Alberta until Monday afternoon, when that bureaucratic stupidity got put to bed right quick.
[…]
Doug Schweitzer, [Alberta’s] top lawman, says the whole thing is ridiculous.
The ridiculous part includes his own department joining the lawsuit for damages and the cost of health services for Ryan Watson, the individual now suing who was rummaging around on Eddie’s property.
When Schweitzer heard that news, he squashed the province’s end of the lawsuit like a bug in less time than you could tell some paper shuffler: What the hell do you think you’re doing?

“Eddie was also going to be sued by the Government of Alberta …”
Jeez. That would have been as stupid as Double-cross Doug Ford’s appeal against the January court decision that reined in the PETA fanatics of Ontario’s SPCA. At least someone in Kenney’s gov’t had a bit of guts and common sense and put a stop to it. Not much chance of that happening here with Ford and his sheep.

“Unlike all those popular television shows, the police do not…

Phillip Gurrido held Jaycee Duggard as his sex prisoner for decades … impregnated her multiple times, bearing multiple children. All the while, he was visited … repeatedly … by Parole Officers, Police Officers, and Court appointed officials. Never once did they actually do their jobs. Hiding in plain sight … because of incompetent cops. Bureaucrats collecting a paycheck. Nope. Sorry to tell you … but you’re ON YOUR OWN when it comes to security.
Eddie needs Michael Mann’s lawyers to make the process the punishment for the other guy.
Schweitzer is a clown. He’s still not charged any of the peta terrorists who stormed that Hutterite turkey barn. He needs to do a major swamp drain in his department or he will be tarred and feathered by rural Alberta.
Someone should ask Schweitzer if he fired, demoted or transferred the person who was filing suit on behalf of the government…
and the ambulance chaser who is representing Ryan Watson, convicted criminal, in his extortion attempt, should be made famous
“should be made famous”
Unfortunately a criminal defense attorney would regard that as free advertising and be really happy about it. The perps may cover their faces, but the lawyers never do..
Why so hard on Schweitzer? Sounds like he is the hero here.
He is not. He wont charge the Peta terrorists who trespassed and invaded a Hutterite turkey operation. He is charging Sheila Gunn Reid for violating the Elections Act for selling a book critical of the NDP during the provincial election. He is a showboat in love with himself and not to be trusted. He is a big nothing burger just like the entire do-nothing Kenney government.
Somebody wake me up when the Province of Alberta covers Mr. Maurice’s legal fees and out-of-pocket for this whole thing. That’s when you’ll know enough was enough.
Oh, and wake me when they fire the judge who accepted this lawsuit.
We are going to see many more of these kinds of appealable judicial decisions until Jason Kenney caves on his position of no 5% raise for the Alberta Judiciary at this time
Post national, means post rule of law.
The only way to be free of the “law” of “post national” Canada?
The only way to be free of equalization?
The only way to guarantee you will never live under another PM Trudeau?
The only way to be free of the gun grabbers of Canada?
The only way to be free of the war measures income tax?
The only way to never have the CWB reimposed on you?
The only way to stop sending money to Quebec?
The only way to be free of the Canadian Charter of Servitude to Bureaucrats?
The only way to be free of the CBC?
The only way to be free of paying for David Suzuki’s 4th island?
There is only one way; you know what it is.
Call it anti-settler sentiment. Didn’t those fine young native men have a birthright to the Settler’s property? I assume the court (Jury?) will rule in favor of the Noble Indigenous People’s ABSOLUTE RIGHT to scrounge around in settlers vehicles. The court will rule that “private property” is a “white mans” construct. The courts will then rule that they, themselves are a “white mans” construct and disband in favor of the local Tribal Council.
I mean … that’s where this is headed, isn’t it? “White” cultural guilt ending in “white” suicide?
Given the way our Gay – Gender Bent – Multi Cult – Diverse – Islam Loving – Euro Centric hating – Anti White – Anti English speaking – Anti Male establishment who “appoint” our judges act…??
I’d say you hit the nail smack dab on the head Kenji.
Canaduh is Fkd up beyond all reason…TOAST.
I’m with Kevin – there is ONLY ONE way. And in that new country, there had better be:
Right to bear ARMS
Right to FREE Unfettered SPEECH
GARANTEED Property Rights & the inalienable RIGHT to defend said property/person however one see’s fit. IOW…no one will need to fire a “warning” shot…
– And if Sockpuppet gets back in, soon enough Canadians will lose the right to defend ourselves, like the Brits did. The poll that shut him up about banning handguns over the Danforth shooter, had 81% of Canadians – including Quebeckers – saying “no more gun laws!” – and now his blackfaced past has blown-up on him and he’s suffering in the polls, here he is right back flagging “tough new gun laws”.
Hey, Justin – SQUIRREL!
Way to go Steakman. I’m with you, I was totally dismayed when the first Trudoo left out property rights from the Charter. I knew it would come to this. PET has a lot to answer for, God will get him for his mess.
Property rights really are meaningless when all levels of government can tax it away from you. Don’t pay your taxes and you will soon understand what I mean.
How else could the bottom feeders, whether in government or private company, make money.
It’s their business of throwing bullshit hither and yon and see where they can scam some money.
As for the guy that is suing, yeah, if he did not go around stealing stuff, he would not get hurt.
Other than his family paying for his stupidity by being associate with the idiot, there is no sympathy here.
Maybe we really do need a new country, just to get away from all of these asinine judges. SMH!!!!!
It’s not enough to quash counter-social nonsense like this, its purveyors need to be fired for wasting everybody’s time.
While we can’t legislate against stupidity we can still remove idiots from positions of influence in our society.
Damn right it is not enough! Not because they are idiots, but because they are VILLANS , who will pursue every opportunity to punish people who have the courage to defend themselves. Courageous people are a grave danger to those who think they have the right to dictate what freedoms we will be allowed and so they must be crushed.
I lived in Alberta for ten years. I commonly met more right thinking courageous people in a day there than I generally meet in a year in the other provinces in which I have lived. Much as I hate cold and snow if Alberta looks like it will really separate I will sell my ocean view and move back if I think I can help.
If Doug Schweitzer wasn’t the Alberta Justice Minister, and a different political party was in power, choose any of the past 3 governments in Alberta for good examples, how tight would the ringer be that Eddie Maurice and his family would be rung through?
The problem isn’t those currently in power following the law as it’s written. The problem is the complete lack of property rights in Canada, here in the west, and a lack of protection for the innocents that are attacked in the middle of the night.
That the RCMP have a detachment in the city of Okotoks and are only “minutes away” while an intruder is seconds away, is central to the problem. A problem that is not addressed in any current law in Canada.
And the PM of Canada has announced in these past few days while the controversy rages of him being photographed wearing blackface, that the Liberals will introduce legislation to restrict or ban outright? semi-automatic rifles.
Separation is a part the answer, our actual rights have been stolen from us by successive gov’t in Canada.
So what’s stopping Alberta from righting property rights into its provincial constitution right now to guard against all kinds of abuse including local government abuse? Why not be the chance you claim to want to be instead of endlessly and pointlessly mumbling about separation?
While engaging a filthy Leftist Libertine like yourself makes me feel greasy, even dirty, I agree that your Question about,
“Why has not the Alberta Government entrenched the property rights of Albertans in *”the Code”(legalese) is of community societal value.(Libertines give no shits)
I personally have no confidence in the Jason Kenney UCP government. This Alberta government has done nothing of significance to fight for Alberta jobs within the economically suffocating BOX that neighboring provinces and the Canadian government has built to apparently destroy my province of Alberta in.
*the Magna Carta + Common Law gives us SUBJECTS of the Crown the right to our private property, But the Canadian Government Has the Criminal RCMP to Ride Roughshod over our rights,
kill us, steal from us, and act the Violent Brigands for the Government of Canada and the Government of Alberta.
Typically, Encoding in Law pre-existing rights diminishes them and shaves off many penumbrae until those rights are only those specified by Government and no more.
This until recently, has been the game preserve of audacious government empowered Liberal courts. Now whole governments, acting as Libertines, seek to destroy traditional culture and throw open the doors to Criminality.
I am not a big supporter of LIMITED property rights legislated by government.
To support the position that government has the power to say what we do or do not intrinsically own or what rights we do or do not have, …is not a conservative position.
RATHER it should be the Government’s Focus to ensure legal Contracts are respected, that the Weak have a champion to ensure a Fair Fight against the Strong without intimidation, and that people do not have to be organized or aware to stave off Tyranny of any kind, including private Brigandage as well as Brigands who operate fiefdoms within government and all the way up to Government.
This sort of focused power by Brigands should be seen by government as an affront to their political power and mandate from the people. Government should put them down.
And I’ll say this about Government in general. GOVERNMENT IS THEFT.
I HATE government. But I come here and I talk to my neighbors and I know that so many schtoopid people really are the absolute existential immutable argument for the existence, the need, for GOVERNMENT because people are too stupid, too careless to know the difference between SHIT and SHINOLA.
Separation, UDI, whatever you want to call it, that is the only way to get back to liberty. Anything else is a temporary work around.
Before we get to that stage we need to purge Alberta of all extreme leftists or we will never get to the separation stage..and if we do we will rapidly turn into another socialist crap hole like canada. Cut all arts benefits, gratuitous welfare programs, redundant bureaucrats and middle managers etc. Public school curriculum needs to be changed to teach the benefits of capitalism and the horrors of socialism. Teachers not “onboard” will be let go.
Basically we need to plow the field, get rid of the weeds and prepare the soil for a good crop of liberty. Chase all the parasites out of Alberta and back into canada. If you aren’t willing to earn your keep, this province/country needs to be an uncomfortable place to hang your hat. These commies and parasites need to be treated with the same contempt and intolerance they have shown the producers in this province.
Just an example of why the warning shot comes after the kill shot, nobody but you knows what order they came in.
moose?
proof DOESNT MATTER.
do cops cherry pick evidence? they are ONLY interested in TRUTH when it dovetails their agenda.
get this all, PROOF DOESNT MATTER WHEN YOURE DEALING WITH COPS.
ya got that? disagree? you’ll find out soon enough when you get some visitors as Mr Maurice did.
“Only when they think we might get out will they do anything to keep us in.”
Ted Byfield
Just proves the point that in Canada (the US is soon to follow with “red flag laws”) that if you own a gun you are the criminal.
As anyone with any tactical and strategic training will tell you, distributed threats can never be effectively met with centralized defense, only with distributed defense. Centralized defense = “the police are only minutes away!” Distributed defense = DIY tactical response.
Like it or not.
Whether we’ll ever make it back to that logical view remains to be seen. I’m not overly optimistic, given how Canada’s “progressing.”
pffft.
dont ever try to get those sunshine club ASSHOLES to lOOk at video evidence either.
I made a formal complaint with the OIPRD on wtf does it take to FORCE them to lOOk at any videos that may exist.
came back just yesterday, the circular logic, the ASSHOLES (albeit my phrase) need to be convinced
da cryyyyme occured before, get this, *looking at the video*.
but the decisive irrefutable proof *IS the &#^%(*&$*mned VIDEO*
what’s wrong wit dis picture, or should I say, moving picture?
put yer hand up if ‘cops are tops’.
I truly hope the ‘arresting officer’ in this case can NEVER get a decent zhob again,
joins the homeless in due time, and winds up beaten senseless in some alley.

‘cops are tops’
The Victim, Eddie Maurice, should countersue Ryan Watson for all of the aggravation etc Eddie and his family have had to put up with as well as the $$ cost.
If the people of Alberta support the real victim, this farm family, both monetarily and politically, until an official policy statement by the provincial government is issued. That would be a demand to respect the principles of the Magna Carta, an acknowledgement of the inherent rights of individuals citizens under Common-Law.
After almost 3 decades of “gun control”, which is a thinly disguised totalitarian project to subvert our legal system. An alarming number involved in the justice industry, from police, Crown Prosecutors and the judiciary are now using their ‘public servant’ role to impose a Cult. Marxist dictatorship step by step.
Those who believe that the citizenry that cannot be trusted with the power of a firearm, also believe (at least unconsciously) that same citizenry cannot be trusted with the power of self-government.
By subverting the Rule of Law, the ideologically possessed bureaucrats then use the resultant chaos that they’ve created, as a justification for seizing power and imposing their utopian dictatorship. By using violent crime as a justification for civilian disarmament, disarmament of the victims is a repudiation of : Firstly, the Common-Law individual Rights to Life, Liberty, Security of the Person and Property. Secondly, and most importantly preventing the power of the citizenry from successfully defending their liberal democracy(self-government), which is also responsibility of citizens under Common-Law.

Guns are not for firing warning shots or threatening….Life threatening deadly force, or NOT….
You can’t electrify a trap to prevent entry into your property, but it is said that once a person has trespassed it is permissible to switch on the power to all the Traps that will prevent them from leaving with stolen property… crispy critter’s don’t sue……
You just KNOW violent intrusions WILL escalate.
You must be prepared.
I had a 30.06 ready on the couch, one morning when a local druggie nutjob was ranting at 6:30 am. He did not approach my property luckily.
His latest out of town adventure?
Car jacking and a SECOND charge for armed robbery.
No quarter if he threatens us again.
I found a gofundme page for Eddie regarding his criminal charges from last year that were dropped. Does anyone know of a gofundme page or something similar to help with legal costs for this civil action? Thanks in advance.
I will also be writing my MLA, Schweitzer, and Kenney regarding future political donations to the UCP as well.
It is unconscionable that a young family should have to go through this after it was they who were put in this position by a criminal. NOT the other way around.
And this is why the first warning shot should always go center mass.
Yup, should have shot him dead, fired a warning shot after the fact for the halfwit brigade to find.
There is No Justice In Canadistan. Its all about bleeding the wallets of the taxpayers. Every single person involved in the “justice ” system is a liar and a thief. Cue the Cull.
At the end it comes down to this: activist liberal judiciary is like every other liberal. They hate gun owners, they hate property owners and love “maginalized” “racialized” thugs spontaneously distributing property.
In a sane country lynching robbers be legal and encouraged.
In answer to the question; IT NEVER ENDS.
Clarence Thomas
Kavanaugh
MacCarthy
Who else are the STILL attacking?
They are tormenting the dude for his own good, they are doing so with the approval of their consciences…
This is where range time pays off. Hard to sue when you’re dead.
