Professor Bruce Pardy explores the paradox that is Bill C-9, the “Combatting Hate Act,” in his testimony to the House of Commons Standing Committee on Justice and Human Rights.

Experts tell Justice Committee the bill lowers safeguards against abuse and erodes free expression.

Professor Bruce Pardy explains why a truly free society is risky — and why that risk is necessary for genuine virtue and responsibility.

Bruce Pardy: A B.C. Supreme Court ruling that the Cowichan First Nation holds Aboriginal title over 800 acres of government land affirms that Aboriginal rights take precedence over unprotected private property rights in Canada.

Ottawa requests Supreme Court of Canada restrict provincial use of the Notwithstanding Clause, arguing it undermines the Charter’s authority, while law professor Bruce Pardy asserts the judiciary’s growing power overshadows the Constitution’s intent.

At a Macdonald-Laurier Institute panel, Prof. Bruce Pardy highlighted Canada’s alarming ideological shift, citing a 2022 column that branded peaceful trucker protests as “sedition”. The author will come as a surprise to some and for others, not at all.

Columnist and activist Cory Morgan reviews Prof. Bruce Pardy’s framework for a new Alberta constitution that challenges Albertans to transcend flawed systems like Westminster, in favour of a “fantastic” architecture for freedom that replaces bureaucratic inertia with innovation and elevates sovereignty over state overreach.

A genuinely free and independent Alberta demands a bold, new constitution that empowers its citizens and eliminates all forms of external and internal oppression. Prof. Pardy presents 13 provisions that establish a clear and compelling framework for the constitution of an independent and radically free Alberta.

Most Canadians believe Indigenous people should follow the same rules as everyone else, with over 80 per cent supporting public disclosure of First Nations’ spending.

Athenian historian Thucydides warned of words losing meaning in societal collapse. Modern parallels abound: ‘Racism’ redefined, ‘free speech’ weaponized.

In a free country, laws apply not to peoples, but to people, period. We need to get back to a Canada where everyone has the same rights.

Ontario’s government has granted itself unilateral power to block lawsuits against four school boards, letting the province veto legal challenges against itself—a move critics warn erodes judicial oversight, risks Charter rights, and sets an authoritarian precedent without transparency or legislative debate.

“The problem is not just bad policy, this is national character. This is baked into the Constitution. The real Canada cannot fundamentally reform and, yet, Alberta might, just might be able to save Canada.” How? By “leaving it”. ~ Prof. Bruce Pardy

Alberta’s independence movement echoes the American Revolution’s systemic rupture in its moment of gravity and opportunity. Alberta must take its shot but how to ensure its success?

Reserve land should be transferred to individual Indigenous people. Prof. Bruce Pardy calls for an independent Alberta to adopt equal citizenship over Canada’s caste-like system of perpetual treaties and state-enforced dependency.

Alberta’s independence hinges on a decisive referendum, a rights-first constitution, and steely resolve to overcome Canada’s inevitable resistance to losing its “cash cow”.

In its pursuit of independence, Alberta must reject Canada’s pandemic-exposed authoritarianism and forge a new constitution rooted in liberty, restraint, and genuine rule of law.

Alberta’s surging independence movement reached a pivotal moment as the Alberta Republican Party’s packed Red Deer town hall signaled a sharp rebuke to Ottawa and a push for sovereignty.

“If you want to see how the managerial state (dys)functions, Canada is the place to be.” Prof. Bruce Pardy critiques recent moves to prioritize biometric surveillance of low-risk parliamentary staff over transparency around MPs suspected of foreign election interference.
