The Pardy School of Law
How the law works, and how it doesn’t.
Canada’s different classes of citizens
Professor Bruce Pardy explains why Canada’s laws don't treat everyone the same.
An independent Alberta?
An interview with law professor Bruce Pardy about the potential for Alberta to become a truly independent country.
Alberta independence debate
“I don’t want to see Canada destroyed. But here’s the problem: it has already been destroyed.” Law professor Bruce Pardy and former Alberta premier Jason Kenney face off over whether Alberta should leave Canada.
C-9 is an affront to free speech, but the government took it away long ago
NEW from Bruce Pardy: ‘Guaranteed rights’ are doublespeak of the modern managerial state.
Surrendered Vancouver
The federal government has quietly recognized Musqueam Aboriginal title over land that encompasses much of Metro Vancouver. No public consultation. No warning to the people who own homes there. This is not reconciliation. This is expropriation by another name.
The fix is in to defeat Alberta independence
Far from opening the door to sovereignty, Premier Danielle Smith’s multi-question referendum may close it.
If Alberta wants conservative judges, it may need independence
Danielle Smith’s clash with Ottawa reveals a grim reality. Canada’s institutions — from courts to culture — are progressive by design, not accident.
The true cost of silence in the pursuit of truth
Doug Ford’s free speech protections at Ontario universities have failed miserably, say academics.
Are Aboriginal land claims becoming a forever issue?
The evolving legal landscape of Aboriginal title in Canada has created a climate of confusion. Law professor Bruce Pardy translates the complexity to illuminate the principles and connections we all need to understand.
The end of globalism?
“Is it possible that the way the Canadian economy now works is more compatible with the Chinese Communist Party than it is with the markets of the U.S.?” ~ Prof. Bruce Pardy
What’s yours is ours: Why Canada’s Charter ignores property rights and what that means for everything you own
“Property is one of the basic ideas of Western liberal democracy. It is also fundamental to our economic system. If you don’t have security of property, you don’t have much.” ~ Professor Bruce Pardy
What they’re saying an independent Alberta would look like
Law professor Bruce Pardy supports the idea that independence would mean rejecting the existing constitutional order, including treaty and Aboriginal rights, and offers a perspective that independence could provide an opportunity to address outdated concepts.
Parental rights or state might?
Prof. Bruce Pardy at Fundamental Truths: What’s the principle that distinguishes a parent signing off on a leg amputation from refusing a vaccine—and the state forcing it?
Confronting state power
Law should not enforce unprovable moral propositions that ignore society’s diversity. Instead, it should prevent harm while allowing everyone to pursue their own truths—without coercion. [A presentation by Prof. Bruce Pardy].
Virtue-signalling devotion to reconciliation will not end well
Like the proverb says, make yourself into a doormat and someone will walk all over you.
Property rights fallout from Aboriginal title rulings extends beyond B.C.
The notion that individuals of certain descent belong to a different legal category is an idea Professor Bruce Pardy stresses “we have to do away with.”
The referendum goose could still be cooked
Bruce Pardy: Bill 14 removed one obstacle but installed a new gatekeeper. Is this real progress for Alberta sovereignty — or a clever trap to defuse the movement without ever letting it succeed?
Rarer than a unicorn: Canada’s freedom-loving law professor speaks out
Ezra Levant sits down with Prof. Bruce Pardy, head of Rights Probe, for a hard-hitting discussion on free speech erosion, anarcho-tyranny, UNDRIP’s impact on property rights, and why Canada’s governance framework empowers unlimited state control over individual liberties.
Time for true autonomy
Professor Bruce Pardy exposes how governments evaded judicial scrutiny during COVID by rendering challenges moot, eroding bodily autonomy and the rule of law. His bold vision for an independent Alberta flips the script: time for true autonomy over endless state overreach.
The revolution is complete
How can a society abandon liberalism almost without realizing it?
“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.”
