    “Speech must not be so curtailed that a person is not permitted to voice an opposing opinion for fear that he or she will offend someone who has a different opinion.” – Barry W. Bussey

    Politicization of Supreme Court of Canada

    “The law is always going to be involved in issues with a
    political dimension, but that is different from the court itself being political.” – Barry W. Bussey

    In this video, Barry presents his thoughts on the politicization of the Supreme Court of Canada. There is much discussion
    about the recent Kruk decision wherein Justice Martin, at paragraph 109, brought into the legal vernacular “person with a vagina.” Barry points out that this development is part of an ongoing process at the SCC that is very worrying.

    Barry reminds us that it was Chief Justice Richard Wagner’s condemnation of the Trucker Freedom Convoy 2022 that epitomizes the extent to which the politicization of the SCC has gone. This development is a far cry from the highwater mark during the tenure of Chief Justice Bora Laskin who maintained that judges are to abstain from politics in keeping with their impartiality and their independence.

    The Government's New Hammer: Bill C-63 The Online Harms Bill

    “The Online Harms Bill—if passed into law—will make the
    government’s COVID-19 overreach look like child’s play.” – Barry W. Bussey



    A child with a hammer sees everything as a nail. Nothing is off limits to that child. A child with power can do a lot of damage. You know. You have seen the school yard bully yourself as a child. They have no remorse for the pain they inflict. They just laugh.

    Jordan Peterson’s recent National Post op-ed points
    out that 5% of the population consists of those with the “Dark Tetrad personality traits — the manipulators, narcissists, psychopaths and sadists” who are now given the hammer of the internet — where they “can give full
    expression to their worst impulses online, invading every space of commentary with their purposefully hurtful, bitter and vengeful provocation, aiming precisely at spreading the grief and misery their vengeful souls wish to
    perpetrate on the world.”

    There can be no doubt that protecting the public from such individuals doing their worst online is laudable. These people need to be bridled so that they are unable to run havoc in our society. Evil has been given full sway online and it does not stay online. It often manifests
    itself in our streets. We have reason to be concerned about online hatred.

    However, is Bill C-63 the Online Harms Bill the
    appropriate tool to address the problem? Or, is it itself a hammer given to government that will now see everything as a nail?

    This is the first video of many Barry is making on the dangers of Bill C-63. This is a bill that simply must not become law. It must be stopped in its current form. You can help!

    “We have to make sure that we’re open for market-dominated
    economics and not just pay for whatever the latest trend is.” – Derek Sloan

    The Ontario Party was established in 2018 and Derek Sloan became its leader in 2021. At its core, the party stands for freedom, family
    and faith. In this video, Derek tells fellow lawyer Barry W. Bussey that he wants to bring sanity back into politics. Our main systems of healthcare and education need reform. Because of their compounding effects, immigration needs to be reined in and housing needs to be expanded. Ontario’s economy is stalled;
    Derek’s not interested in mud slinging the other parties, but he believes the PCs, Liberals and NDP have become too focused on new ideas that have not stood the test of time. We need to regain substantive manufacturing to restore Ontario to its former wealth.



    Right now, the Ontario Party needs to collect ~ 1,000
    signatures from Ontario residents who are also Canadian citizens to be able to register the party to fight again in the next election.

    Fill out the form at this link:

    “The POEC was a farce for the simple reason that it was never even discussed about why the convoy went to Ottawa.” – Tom Marazzo



    Canadian activist and author Tom Marazzo joins Barry W. Bussey once again, with an eye to the future now that Justice Mosley declared the government’s invocation of the Emergencies Act unconstitutional. At least 280 Canadians, including Tom, had their bank accounts frozen because the banks were given immense power under the federal government to do so. That such Communist tactics like taking your freedom to move around, taking your purchasing power and taking your power to earn money away from you simply because you don’t agree with the prime minister’s political views even happened in Canada should
    send shivers up your spine. And, no person should ever forget the tyranny our fellow humans suffered under despots like Hitler, Stalin, Pol Pot and Mao Zedong. We can never forget that power corrupts. WE have to stop it from happening. There is only one human history.

    “When the government delegates authority to the bureaucracy,
    the bureaucrats are in essence—through their regulations—creating law, and they’ve been granted that.” – Barry W. Bussey, lawyer, author, founder of First Freedoms Foundation

    In this video, Barry is interviewed by Canadian expat trucker, writer and podcaster, Gordon Magill. Both men attended the freedom
    convoy in Ottawa two years ago; both describe it as a spiritual event. For Barry, the convoy was a reaction of Canadians to refuse to have their bodily autonomy taken away from them by the State. Standing on an overpass in Ottawa, Gordon realized that Canadians were healing from a deep-seated betrayal. People were
    simply overjoyed that they were coming together to do something about the tyranny that had descended upon them. Barry goes on to explain how Canada came to its eroded state of democracy: legislators have delegated their authority to the bureaucrats. Courts, at the same time, have been deferring to the decisions of the bureaucrats because, they say, the bureaucrats are the experts. Basically, the courts have failed in their responsibility to ensure that the rights of the citizens have not been unjustly infringed.

    Gord Magill is a writer and commentator on the trucking industry as well as politics in Canada surrounding The Freedom Convoy. He has
    spent 27 years trucking across four different countries.
