Stone chimney is all that remains of world-class grindstone quarry

Sandstone quarries on the southeast N.B. coast once shipped building stone and grindstones around the world

It seems out of place today, but the chimney is a remnant of an industry that dominated the upper Bay of Fundy in the 1800s, when quarries dotted the New Brunswick coast.

At low tide, sandstone was chiselled out of the banks or from the ocean bed, shaped and shipped to customers around the world to be used as building stone and grindstones. 

Moncton historian and educator James Upham said the area would be considered remote now, but it used to be a busy community with homes, a school house and a general store.

"This place has almost returned to a state of being pristine," he said. "But at one time the quarry that we're actually standing in right now begins its story, that we know of, about 1814. Back then, grindstones were a huge deal."

Paul Bogaard, a member of the Tantramar Heritage Trust, has led tours to this Rockport beach.

At its peak, between 100 and 200 men would have worked at the quarry, carving out rocks that were about 1½  metres by 1½ metres, and a half-metre thick, he said.

"We're not talking about something you and I could lift up and carry," Bogaard said as he described the chunks of sandstone.

It is available at the Boultenhouse Heritage Centre and Tidewater Books in Sackville. (Submitted by Paul Bogaard)

The sand grains that formed the stone had sharp edges that could be used for sharpening metal tools.

"It was of a special quality that was good for grindstone material," he said.

Bogaard recently edited a book released by the Tantramar Heritage Trust about the grindstone industry in the Cumberland Basin.

According to Upham, the stone that came out of the area was well-known, with one provincial geologist in the 1840s referring to it "as some of the very finest sharpening stone in North America."

Steam power revolutionizes quarry

The chimney that overlooks the beach was part of the engine that powered a machine called a steam derrick.

"What we have there is the physical remainder of what is probably the first steam derrick in New Brunswick, in what's going to become Canada," said Upham.

Until the steam derrick arrived, stone was moved with the power of horses, men, the tides or a combination of all three.

"And that is literally backbreaking labour," Upham said. "So this is the application of the industrial revolution into stone harvesting in Canada … memorialized in a chimney that is probably going to fall over pretty soon."

The steam derrick worked like a crane, with a large post in the ground and guy wires stabilizing it, said Bogaard.

Not only could the derrick lift large stones, but cables and pulleys were used to move wooden trolleys loaded with the stones.

"Just a flatbed with four iron wheels that would run on the small rail lines they laid out."

While the cliff where the chimney sits has eroded over time, Bogaard can still see the foundation stones of the building that surrounded it. If you look, he said, you can see where the boiler was that fuelled this steam engine.

Sandstone also used for building

Stone from the quarries in the area was also known to be very good building stone.

"Whole cities are built out of this ridge and the ridge next to it and this whole region," said Upham.

Bogaard points out that part of the reason the stone travelled so far, was that the quarries were on the shoreline, making it relatively easy to get it onto boats. Inland quarries in the area didn't take off in the same way until the railway was built.

(Provincial Archives of New Brunswick/P93\G32-B)

"The stone from Rockport and Wood Point — that was carted down to New England and built a lot of the big brownstone buildings in Boston and New York," Bogaard said.

Before that, there are records of Acadians using smaller stones in the area as grindstones on their farms as far back as the 1760s.

"What the Acadians had discovered is we can go off on these reefs that are exposed at low tide, and chip out a stone just with hand picks, and shape it round and put it on a frame after you've hauled it back to your farm," he said.

Farther up the coast at Slack's Cove, there was another quarry, where a coffer dam was built to keep the ocean out so workers could chisel stone even at high tide.

One of many sites 'waiting for us to notice them'

The Rockport quarry operated between 1814 and 1862, along with many others in the upper Bay of Fundy.

Bogaard said grindstones from the area would eventually also be used in New England "to make and shape and sharpen bayonets" and to smooth gun barrels and canons in the 1700s.

Today, all that's left of an industry that shipped thousands of tons of grindstone and employed thousands of workers is the stone chimney in Rockport, on a "tiny precarious outcrop which is eroding on a daily basis," said Upham.

"It's an absolutely fascinating place and just one of hundreds of these kinds of places that are just sitting around — right out in the open — waiting for us to notice them."

A neat place to visit and take photographs but be careful. There is a lot of loose rock on the cliffs and the rock on the beach is slippery. Remember that in the event of an accident help is going to be at least an hour getting to you.

Hey Mr. Costello
Need I say I was not impressed by you yesterday. At least you confessed that you knew who I was but so much for a jealous defense of your client’s interests. EH? That said there is no need to send you hard copy of my material. Your associates within McInnes Cooper already have enough to review and confer with you about.
Perhaps you should call the dudes or ladies (: Tell them how I chuck rocks will ya? from Patterson Palmer in Halifax that merged with your firm or better yet Lenny Hoyt and Franky Boy McKenna. In my humble opinion your little buddy Franky Boy as Canadian Ambassador should have tried to stop NB Power’s malicious lawsuit against Venezeula in the USA before it picked up steam. But what do I know. EH? I think the dudes from Venezeula were wise to bring the issues back to the Maritimes and into the Irvings’ lap. I think it was a hoot that they employed your firm to do so. What say you? Whereas you do not wish to speak to me I will speak to these dudes about you, Embassy of Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, 32 Range Rd Ottawa Ontario K1N 8J4, Phone: 613 235-5151 and then send them what I sent Allan Rock Franky Boy Mckenna and the FBI almost one year ago. Perhaps you should call some of your friends mentioned below that I served my stuff upon yesterday after I talked to you and ask them what the Hell I am up to if you don’t already know.

P.S. the following was an interesting article to come out in the local paper just as Humpty Dumpty had the Governor Gerneral drop the Writ on the last election. It certainly seems to me that the Irving’s and Bernie Lord were trying hard to help Stevey Boy Harper’s government and John Wallace get elected in order to protect their own selfish interests. EH? If he won’t tell ya then ask me why Franky Boy does not want to be the liberal leader right now. I Double Dog Dare Ya. As I said in closing yesterday you have my number but maybe the dudes from Venezeula lost it so here it is again 506 434 1379. Your problem is do I want to talk to you now. Whilst I am talking to your clients about your incompetance I will explain to them why I am preparing to sue your whole god damned law firm.

Liberal leader ‘jeopardizing’ NB Power’s chances in lawsuit over failed Orimulsion deal: Tory MLA
New Brunswickers should question whether Liberal Leader Shawn Graham is fighting for them or for Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, says a Tory MLA. Jody Carr, MLA for Oromocto-Gagetown, made the stinging indictment against Mr.Graham Thursday during a heated committee hearing where the Liberal leader took repeated swipes at David Hay, NB Power’s president and chief executive officer, for failing to answer legal questions regarding the utility’s Orimulsion lawsuit. Mr. Graham questioned some of the tactics being advanced by NB Power’s legal staff and demanded to know how much the power corporation budgeted for the legal battle against the Venezuelan government and its state-owned oil company.
Mr. Carr said the Liberal leader crossed the line in Thursday’s committee hearing and could endanger NB Power’s lawsuit. “The issue is complicated and it shows the issue is far over his head to what he can comprehend,” Mr. Carr said in an interview later."He was in effect working on the side of the Venezuelan government by jeopardizing the court proceedings."He was jeopardizing the chances of government and NB Power recouping the $2.2 billion in savings and therefore, in essence, that put him on the other side.” NB Power restarted its lawsuit on Sept. 1, when it filed a statement of claim looking for $2.2 billion in financial damages, which equates to the price difference between purchasing heavy fuel oil to burn at the Coleson Cove Generation Station and Orimulsion, a cheap water-and-bitumen mixture patented by Petroleos de Venezuela, S.A. (PDVSA).
NB Power has hired Stewart McKelvey Stirling Scales to quarterback the lawsuits filed in Fredericton and New York along with Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP to serve as their U.S. counsel. Mr. Hay estimated that the corporation has already spent as much as $600,000 on legal bills relating to the Orimulsion lawsuit.The Liberal leader grew increasingly frustrated when Mr. Hay stonewalled his attempt to get a firm answer on NB Power’s budget for Orimulsion-related legal fees. “For the life of me I can’t understand how it could jeopardize the court proceedings in saying how much we are thinking this court challenge may cost,” Mr. Graham said.Throughout the committee session, Mr. Hay assured the Liberal leader that the power corporation was evaluating the risk-reward ratio at each legal “fork in the road.” Mr. Hay said he cannot disclose any details that could tip the utility’s legal hand considering the Venezuelans are keeping a close eye on the proceedings."We are dealing with people with extremely deep pockets. And if you go to a poker game “... and you say, I have my $1,000 here or whatever it is you are playing with, that gives an advantage to the other side,” Mr. Hay said.
Mr. Carr also accused Mr. Graham of misleading Saint John residents about the Orimulsion costs during the recent byelection campaign in Saint John Harbour. Mr. Carr said he found it disconcerting that Liberal campaign signs said the Conservative government lost $2.2 billion through the bungled Orimulsion fuel deal but now Mr. Graham admits the money was a “potential loss of savings.”

Re: Public Corruption

Sirs,
Pursuant to my many phone calls and email to your offices please find enclosed the material I promised to you before I file my complaints in Federal Court in Fredericton. The CD which is a true copy of wiretap tape number 139 is served upon you all in confidence as officers of the court in order that it may be investigated byway of my suing the Crown.
While Norm Betts and Derek Burney’s buddy Stevey Boy Harper is busy in New Brunswick today trying hard to shore up the shaky government of Jody Carr’s buddy, Bernie Lord with long delayed federal tax dollars. I am polishing off my promises to crooked lawyers in the hope that the very corrupt House crumbles ASAP. If not maybe President Chavez will help me bankrupt the crooks working within NB Power within a crooked government’s blessing. Methinks Tanker will need another lawyer if the one he has now continues to play dumb. Lord paid Allaby a lot of money to study the doings of the Justice Dept a long time ago. He should understand the scene.
Shame on you all for forcing me to go to such lengths to protect my rights under the Charter. Methinks you have underestimated my diligence EH? Now ask yourselves why I don’t sue you after I sue the Crown? I fail to see any reason not to. That is the only way I know of to hold such people as you accountable. Stevey Boy Harper never will even though he talks the talk of such things. Everybody knows what I served upon his party’s lawyer Arthur Hamilton before I was falsely imprisoned in the USA in 2004.
Despite whatever Act our latest Prime Minister wishes to introduce to the Canadian people that he claims will compel our government to act with integrity, he can never deny my right to drag anyone into court. In fact he has done so himself in the past and I am no less of a man than he. Even a simple pigheaded Maritimer has the right to argue the law even with people who think themselves above it. How you all have failed to uphold the law and the public trust placed in your public office is either a matter of public record or soon shall be or my name ain’t Dave. There is no Democracy without Truth and Justice. It is just that simple.
Thats all for now fellas. I look forward to seeing you all in court someday or I will die trying to make it happen in an ethical fashion. It is just another one of those things I do that lawyers fail to appreciate. Ask your friends why that is if you don’t already know.

Hey
Everybody received hard copy in hand to their offices except of course what the UPS dudes are bringing to Paul Shuttle and Andre Arthur. Obviously Yankees ain't as quick as me even when I give them two days head start. I have signatures and pictures to prove that all the New Brunswickers named below got their material today as I promised last week except for the sneaky Conflict of Interest Commmissioner Mr. Patrick who hides behind locked doors. He just sent the Sergeant at Arms who tried to run me off again.
However the Frenchman Danny Boy Bussieres had to accept my material on behalf of the Commissioner and our Queen whom he represents no matter how much he wishes to ban me from the Legislature. He didn't sign anything but what transpired between us was witnessed by a man who was not involved. I gave the crooked Quebecer hard copy in hand. Somebody speaking for the Queen should answer me ASAP. EH? If Danny Boy wishes to attempt to ban me from the Legislature again he really should put it in writng. EH? Perhaps he should clearly state the reasons behind his malice and who is accusing me of what. Otherwise I will ignore him until we meet in court. Then I will have many questions for him on the public record. I repeat, I have never threatened or harassed anyone. The next time he and I meet I hope to have many witnesses watching our exchange of words instead of just one man.The Sergeant at Arms Danny Boy Brouseirres lake most lawyers and politicians is a liar.
I will leave you all to wonder who receives this email next but lets just say I was very correct about my assessment of the Public Utilities Board and the New Brunswick Securoties Commission. corrupt Maritimers act just like crookedYankees. After all most of them are lawyers and their brotherhood practices their malice across borders all day long every day. The thing is can they trust each other when the politiking gets down and dirty. Methinks there is no honour amongst theives no matter how powerful they are. What say you? I know your answer already and that only time will tell the tale to prove what I say is true. Until then I will simply remain a man of my word and hope for justice to prevail. It is your job to uphold the Public Trust not mine.

NB Power chairman leaves post

Long-time Liberal loyalist Francis McGuire has quietly left his position as chairman of NB Power.

McGuire's final day as chairman of the utility was Thursday after the utility says his term ended.

McGuire, who served as co-chairman of Premier Shawn Graham's self-sufficiency task force in 2007, was appointed to the high-profile position in September 2007.

The former chairman said in a statement that the Crown corporation is facing major issues as it moves forward.

"It is evident now, more than ever, that significant challenges face NB Power," McGuire said in a statement.

"However, I have the utmost confidence that the team we have in place will help guide the utility through these challenges, keeping the best interests of New Brunswickers at the forefront of the future direction of NB Power."

The statement did not name a successor as chairman of NB Power.

McGuire was a supporter of the Liberal government's plan to sell parts of the utility to Hydro-Québec for $3.2 billion, a plan that fell apart last week.

McGuire is the president and chief executive officer of Major Drilling Group International Inc.

He also served as a top adviser to former premier Frank McKenna and served in several deputy minister positions with the Liberal government during McKenna's tenure.

Former Progressive Conservative finance minister Norm Betts, who is also a director of the utility, held the post in an acting position before McGuire was appointed in 2007. Betts was placed into the chairman's job when the term of Derek Burney, Canada's former ambassador to the United States, concluded.

Maritime moose sex corridor gets land donation

'When you conjure it up, you can only smile at the imagery'

Moose sex corridor

10 years ago
Duration 1:55
A New Brunswick has donated land to the Nature Conservancy to help promote cross-border moose mating.

The Nature Conservancy of Canada has received 316 hectares of private land from a former top diplomat to promote cross-border moose love along the Nova Scotia-New Brunswick boundary.

The land conservation organization has been attempting to assemble a corridor of land on the Chignecto Isthmus between the two provinces as part of its so-called Moose Sex Project.

Derek Burney, former Canadian ambassador to the United States and chief of staff to Brian Mulroney when he was prime minister, said when he heard of the project he was amused and inspired.

"When you conjure it up, you can only smile at the imagery," he said, chuckling.

"I'm not an expert on moose sex or moose anything, but I think the understanding is that if they can preserve the corridor with things like this … then I think there's a good chance the Nova Scotia population will be replenished."

Derek and Joan Burney also contributed to the nature group's endowment fund to care for the land, adding to a $104,000 contribution from the federal Environment Department and $70,000 in funding from the United States Fish and Wildlife Service under the North American Wetlands Conservation Act.

The retired public servant said he bought the woodlots two decades ago from John Lutes, a close friend and his neighbour at the family cottage in New Brunswick. For two decades, the land was a source of outdoor recreation and a connection to nature for the couple and their four children.

Burney, 73, said he and his wife heard of the moose sex project from a friend in Montreal and decided to make the offer to the conservancy as they sought to downsize their property holdings in the province.

Paula Noel, program director with the conservancy's New Brunswick office, says the project has protected about 600 hectares so far and the Burneys' contribution is critical to its progress.

Nova Scotia mainland moose population endangered

The Nova Scotia mainland moose population is estimated at about 1,000 animals and has been endangered since 2003. The conservancy says it hopes the corridors give a route for the 29,000 moose in New Brunswick to find mates in the neighbouring province.

Noel says she was excited when she investigated the location of the lands being offered by the Burney family.

The two parcels of family land are about two kilometres apart, and in one instance directly neighbour an area that is already protected in the upper Tantramar region.

"When I looked at where the land was I said, 'Oh wow, this is exactly what we're looking for,'" Noel said in an interview.

"It's tripled the land on the New Brunswick side. It's really accelerated our work on the isthmus."

She said the mixed forests on the Burneys' land had been carefully managed over decades and one of the parcels is already home to a notable population of moose and other wildlife.

The conservancy's marketing focus has been on moose, which is an important source of food in Mi'kmaq culture.

Noel says the land donation will also be useful to other species.

"We tend to look at big things and if the moose and bear and bobcat can get across some land, then we figure the little things are doing all right," she said.

 
 
 
 
 

Derek H. Burney: Our failed COVID response

It is time for governments, with a degree of humility, to conduct a comprehensive, independent review intended to ensure that we are better prepared for the next pandemic

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention headquarters in Atlanta.Photo by Tami Chappell/Reuters

As the worst effects of the COVID-19 pandemic recede, there are some candid admissions by public health officials that their performance failed the test. Widespread skepticism about the efficacy of vaccines, mandates, lockdowns and masks has sapped public trust in the credibility of public health officials. Once lost, public trust is hard to regain.

In the United States, the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) acknowledged that it “did not reliably meet expectations” — a profound understatement. Although CDC Director Rochelle Walensky stated that the goal was “accountability, collaboration, communications and timeliness,” her review acknowledged failure on each aspect.

There has been no accountability for the CDC’s slow and confused response, nor for the mixed, often contradictory, messaging on masks, mandates, social distancing and testing. Nor was there any analysis of the damage caused by haphazard CDC guidelines, school closures and lockdowns. UNESCO estimates that over 1.5 billion students were impacted by school closures. The consequences were most pronounced for young and disadvantaged students.

Because medical treatments and screenings were delayed due to pandemic guidelines, there were also sharp increases in rates of depression, anxiety, obesity and the fatal abuse from alcohol and drugs.

The CDC’s review acknowledged that its guidelines were “confusing and overwhelming.” Walensky asserted that the failures were attributable to inadequate staffing and funding, but not a word about the lack of diligent leadership.

Canadian public health officials made similar mistakes — unsound messaging not grounded in science, and with responsibility often blurred between federal and provincial authorities.

To quell fear, officials in both countries made some decisions that seemed more political than scientific. They might have acknowledged upfront that they were operating in unknown territory where uncertainty and change were inevitably part of the solution.

A higher priority should have been given to the elderly who were, by far, the most vulnerable.

Once a hub for vaccine production, Canada was late getting vaccines and attempts to produce a Canadian vaccine for COVID proved disastrous. Initial attempts were thwarted by an embarrassingly failed joint venture with China. And while the prime minister promised vaccine production at a National Research Council site in Montreal by November 2020, we are still waiting. Ultimately, we relied on imports. Why was no effort made to collaborate with the U.S. on Operation Warp Speed?

There is much to learn from the relative success of Hungary, Singapore, Israel, Sweden and Taiwan, whose people believed that their government’s handling of the pandemic highlighted their country’s political strengths. Those in most other countries believed that their government’s COVID management revealed political inadequacies.

The most indefensible example of overreach in Canada came, not from public health officials, but from the government’s invocation of the Emergencies Act to quash protests from the trucker convoy against a vaccine mandate that was crippling their incomes. The evidence underpinning this move was flawed. Banks meekly succumbed to pressure to block funds for protesters. Fundamental civil rights were abused, and yet, to date, no one has been held accountable for this stain on Canada’s democratic values.

Lockdowns and mask mandates were the most radical experiments in the history of public health. Experts like Dr. Walensky and Dr. Anthony Fauci think they failed because they did not go far enough. The Wall Street Journal concluded that Fauci’s “legacy will be that millions of Americans will never trust government health experts in the same way again.”

Actual results belie the advocates of more stringent measures. U.S. states with the most restrictive policies fared no better on average than those with a less restrictive approach.

Florida and Sweden were severely criticized for keeping schools and businesses open without mask mandates, yet their policies have largely been vindicated. Florida’s excess mortality rate is lower than that of California, which endured one of the nation’s strictest lockdowns. A Johns Hopkins University meta-analysis of global studies concluded that lockdowns “had little to no effect on COVID mortality.”

Donald Henderson, an American epidemiologist who directed the successful international effort to eradicate smallpox, once stated that, “Experience has shown that communities faced with epidemics or other adverse events respond best and with the least anxiety when the normal social functioning of the community is least disrupted.” A staggering expression of common sense, which was ignored by COVID authorities.

It is also patently obvious that the vaccines and vaccine mandates were not a universal panacea preventing the spread of COVID-19, as had been hoped. They may well have tempered some effects from the virus. But U.S. President Joe Biden, who’s fully vaccinated and doubly boosted, was afflicted twice this past summer. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and many others had similar experiences.

Precarious before the pandemic, Canada’s health system is worse today. The fallout from the pandemic should trigger bold political and structural changes on a system that has more in common with that of the former Soviet Union and North Korea than with any industrialized democracy.

It is time for governments, with a degree of humility, to conduct a comprehensive, independent review intended to ensure that we are better prepared for the next pandemic. A shakeout of those deemed most responsible for the botched handling of COVID-19 would be a good start.

Now stayed tuned to this particular blog and watch Frenchie make it melt. He is the liar not me. He labelled me as a Hells Angel when I ran against the aptly named lawyer Rob Moore in Fundy in 2004. There is no denying that I am a vindictive son of a bitch with a long memory but even you must admit that i am fair. Although both Chucky and Indymedia erased their blogs when I protested their obvious malice, like you they erased everything I attemped to post. Ask yourself why Mikey Baby and the cry me a river again about what Irving is having crammed through your backyard. Guess who saves every word I write or what is said of me to use in litigation? In answer to your question in your own blog. Yes the people in Saint John should sue somebody in order to put a stop to the evil Empires control. Good luck finding a lawyer that ain't afraid of Irvings. You took a picture down as soon as you got a phone call. In my book that makes you a chickenshit. You talk the talk but do not walk the walk. You should have let them sue you in order to meet them in court and make you issues well known and recorded in the public record. I have been begging someone to sue me for years if they think they can prove what I say is untrue because whenever I sue them the corrupt courts meerely see it dismissed and stricken from the record. Look up Byron Prior sometime in Google and then tell me again that you

and Secretary to the New Brunswick
Securities Commission
85 Charlotte Street, Suite 300
Saint John, NB E2L 2J2
RE: Securities Fraud and Public Corruption
Sir,
Pursuant to our conversation today please find enclosed exactly the same material sent to the eight other provincial Attorney Generals in Canada before I returned to my native land again this year. Obviously the AGs Brad Green and Tom Marshall have known the truth of my matters since the summer of 2004. They have maliciously ignored my false imprisonment in the USA for their own political benefit. The tapes enclosed are exactly the same copies that were served upon the lawyers acting for Rogers Media byway of their newsman Tom Young today. As you listen to the tape you will hear that I mentioned your Commission on air in Saint John weeks ago. Methinks you should have called me then instead of waiting for me to contact you again today.
The tapes and the CD of wiretap tape #139 are served upon the Commission's lawyers Ms. Ball and Ms. Losier as in confidence as officers of the court in order that my allegations of illegal wiretaps by crooked law enforcement authorities may be finally properly investigated ASAP by ethical law enforcement authorities. Hopefully this will be done before I sue the Crown about my false imprisonment but I am not holding my breath. April 3rd is coming fast. Upon your study of these documents you will see that I have not yet given the Yankee SEC all of my evidence of Securities Fraud. However every Attorney General in Canada has been made well aware of it for quite sometime before the SEC declared it was willing to investigate the actions of the former Minister of Finance Ralph Goodale. To date not one person has responded me nor did me the simple courtesy of returning my calls or emails as you finally did today.
Clearly I must complain of the Crown myself without delay before further harm is done to my Clan. Rest assured I will be calling you, Mr. Hancox and the lawyers within your Commission to testify at a trial of my matters in Federal Court in Fredericton. A very pigheaded yet ethical Maritimer knows that justice has been delayed way past too long for the benefit of public corruption and not the public trust. I will not wait for anyone on public service to act within the scope of their employment anymore. To put it simply, after our conversation today I had no faith that you were willing to do your job.

The next question is does your buddy Vaughn Burnett still have the material that you promised you would serve upon Brad Green in June of 2004 for me? Has he listened to the CD which is a copy of police surveilance tape # 139? I will call hinm and you as witnesses to testify in Federal Court in Fredericton. The wannabe lawyer and you buddy Bernard Richard both admitted to me that they had the evidence before I was falsely imprisoned in the Yankee jail in 2004. So much for etyhical EH?

As far as blogging goes I do have one but do not post much. Because unlike you I feel that less is moreI do not need a blog I employ other people's blogs and only deal with the issues they raise first then take them down the path of the garden of good and evil just like I did with you years ago when they call me a liar. Check with your associate Mikey. He did not allow even my first comment. Just like your buddies in Indymedia. However they certainly allowed you to slam me. Didn't they Chucky?
Just in case anyone cares about the spelling I am typing quickly because Methinks Chucky will soon erase this stuff just like he always does. However here is my phone number again call me and I will show anyone the proof of what I is true and I will even allow them to listen to a wiretap tape or two.

Your said the computer didn't work but I know that it did and I brought it all the way from Boston because you were crying poor mouth on the phone. Furthermore I have to witnesses that heard you say you would love to take on Brad Green. the Anglo dude from Minto is one. you the one you call a bigot. I was looking for you in the legislature library to witness me serving the liberal lawyers Burke and Lamrock next door at 710 Queen St when your buddy Dannyboy Bussieres and the Fredericton cops threw me out on June 24th 2004. I was not talking from the gallery as you falsely claim. I have a witness to that fact to . In fact he is a Deputy Minister you was on the floor at the time. the Commisssioners you have befriended made false allegations about me.

We respectfully invite you to consider a Letter to the Editor, i.e.., How Free Trade undermines Maritime Economic Development. We had heard you make some representation about a U.S. company which truck out Maritime 'wealth', as a result of not having similar .provincial resources rights as Alberta, Many Maritimes would be potentially interested in such an editorial.

Hey Mr. Stokes
Thanks for the suggestion. As you should know the most glaring example of a company that has been raping the Maritimes with abandon for many years is obviously the Irving Empire. However lately there are some very nasty new players on the scene such a PCS and Corridor Resourses etc etc. I am very busy these days and I am not a journalist. You people are though yet it seems you would rather me say the awlful truth than yourselves because of some possible lawsuit EH?
So be it. I will because it is not slander if one's words are true. Perhaps you should consider checking my work and then come to court sometime in order to listen to me argue all the smiling bastards. You can have much of my work in a click of the button of my mouse. But first please allow me to introduce you to the New Brunswick Securities Commission. I got a rather interesting response from them today whilst I was in Fredericton. They have ignored my concerns for almost a year but now that Bernie Lord's government is getting tipsy, it appears all the bad actors want to show me their arse just in time for me to boot it.
It is Securities Commissions such as this that allow many publicly held companies such as Corridor Resources or Magna Entertainment etc to get away with many things rather than remind them of the law and on how they should conduct business in an ethical fashion. That said, these Commisssions have no say whatsoever over the Irving Empire and that is truly bad. It is a privately held corporation that knows very well the power of money and on how to pay off greedy politicians in order to get anything they want. In the nutshell of the Maritimes that is quite simply everything. It seems that I am the only Maritimer who is not afraid of the ghost of mean old KC Irving and his monoply game. It has always been hard times in the Maritimes. We lament about it all the time but our apathy and fear of the Irvings etc gives us the govenments we deserve.
Print this if you wish. You are off the hook that Irving's lawyers threaten ordinary folks with. I am fearless yet never reckless with the truth. I stand by my own words and invite anyone to sue me if they think I am a liar and wish to argue me. I hate it when the chickenshits send crooked cops against me bearing false allegations in a faint hearted effort to shut me up. It does the smiling bastards no good and only serves to make matters worse.

Re: Public Corruption

Sirs,
Pursuant to my many phone calls and email to your offices please find enclosed the material I promised to you before I file my complaints in Federal Court in Fredericton. The CD which is a true copy of wiretap tape number 139 is served upon you all in confidence as officers of the court in order that it may be investigated byway of my suing the Crown.
While Norm Betts and Derek Burney’s buddy Stevey Boy Harper is busy in New Brunswick today trying hard to shore up the shaky government of Jody Carr’s buddy, Bernie Lord with long delayed federal tax dollars. I am polishing off my promises to crooked lawyers in the hope that the very corrupt House crumbles ASAP. If not maybe President Chavez will help me bankrupt the crooks working within NB Power within a crooked government’s blessing. Methinks Tanker will need another lawyer if the one he has now continues to play dumb. Lord paid Allaby a lot of money to study the doings of the Justice Dept a long time ago. He should understand the scene.
Shame on you all for forcing me to go to such lengths to protect my rights under the Charter. Methinks you have underestimated my diligence EH? Now ask yourselves why I don’t sue you after I sue the Crown? I fail to see any reason not to. That is the only way I know of to hold such people as you accountable. Stevey Boy Harper never will even though he talks the talk of such things. Everybody knows what I served upon his party’s lawyer Arthur Hamilton before I was falsely imprisoned in the USA in 2004.
Despite whatever Act our latest Prime Minister wishes to introduce to the Canadian people that he claims will compel our government to act with integrity, he can never deny my right to drag anyone into court. In fact he has done so himself in the past and I am no less of a man than he. Even a simple pigheaded Maritimer has the right to argue the law even with people who think themselves above it. How you all have failed to uphold the law and the public trust placed in your public office is either a matter of public record or soon shall be or my name ain’t Dave. There is no Democracy without Truth and Justice. It is just that simple.
Thats all for now fellas. I look forward to seeing you all in court someday or I will die trying to make it happen in an ethical fashion. It is just another one of those things I do that lawyers fail to appreciate. Ask your friends why that is if you don’t already know.

Hey
Everybody received hard copy in hand to their offices except of course what the UPS dudes are bringing to Paul Shuttle and Andre Arthur. Obviously Yankees ain't as quick as me even when I give them two days head start. I have signatures and pictures to prove that all the New Brunswickers named below got their material today as I promised last week except for the sneaky Conflict of Interest Commmissioner Mr. Patrick who hides behind locked doors. He just sent the Sergeant at Arms who tried to run me off again.
However the Frenchman Danny Boy Bussieres had to accept my material on behalf of the Commissioner and our Queen whom he represents no matter how much he wishes to ban me from the Legislature. He didn't sign anything but what transpired between us was witnessed by a man who was not involved. I gave the crooked Quebecer hard copy in hand. Somebody speaking for the Queen should answer me ASAP. EH? If Danny Boy wishes to attempt to ban me from the Legislature again he really should put it in writng. EH? Perhaps he should clearly state the reasons behind his malice and who is accusing me of what. Otherwise I will ignore him until we meet in court. Then I will have many questions for him on the public record. I repeat, I have never threatened or harassed anyone. The next time he and I meet I hope to have many witnesses watching our exchange of words instead of just one man.The Sergeant at Arms Danny Boy Brouseirres lake most lawyers and politicians is a liar.
I will leave you all to wonder who receives this email next but lets just say I was very correct about my assessment of the Public Utilities Board and the New Brunswick Securoties Commission. corrupt Maritimers act just like crookedYankees. After all most of them are lawyers and their brotherhood practices their malice across borders all day long every day. The thing is can they trust each other when the politiking gets down and dirty. Methinks there is no honour amongst theives no matter how powerful they are. What say you? I know your answer already and that only time will tell the tale to prove what I say is true. Until then I will simply remain a man of my word and hope for justice to prevail. It is your job to uphold the Public Trust not mine.

Well I must say I am not surprised. I am in fact delighted to introduce some folks in the Martimes to the man most responsible for my false imprisonment in the USA. I have been fishing for him to make his usual appearance within a Blog. If one speaks of the devil long enough he is sure to appear. EH Chucky? This crook's name is Deputy Dog Robert F. O'Meara of the Norfolk County sheriffs Dept. A bigger snake in Massachusetts there never was. Right now it is suppertime and I ain't goona let it grow cool worrying about what he may say of me but rest assured I will relish and save every word of it. Stay tuned and I will post many of his words that have been deleted from many other blogs in order to protect him and the crooks who have covered up his many crimes.
At least I have a name EH Deputy Dog? Even on the internet you use girlfriend's Wicked Wanda Willard's ID

Now that I finally see one vote of confidence.It is time to stress Chucky's words to the max. Lets see if this post stands the test of time. I am posting something that only a few politicians have seen. Whereas Chucky's buddy Danny Boy Brussieres had banned me from the Legislature and Chucky did not have the balls to deliver the material to Brad Green I and my son, Max delivered in hand the matereial to both of the following dudes offices in Moncton right after Canada Day and Paul Martin's boat had been caught in Sidney with more coke than coal on board. We then went home to where I was raised in Dorchester Nb and I laughed at the thought of Charles LeBlanc as I drove through his hometown. If he had had the sand to deliver this letter and the material I had given him to Brad when he promised to so. He would be my hero, Bernie Lord's government would have fallen, my adversary Deputy Dog Robert F. O'Meara would have gone to jail instead of me and most importantly my little Clan would be still in their home today. If Brad Green Bernie Lord and Franky Boy McKenna had acted with integrity I would not have to sue the Crown in order to have a fraudulent warrant for my arrest revoked in the USA. Anyone should feel free to print or email the text of this letter with abandon simply because Brad Green answered it. I can email anyone a copy of his response in a tif file. In fact I will email one to Frenchie and Deputy Dog Robert F. O'Meara, Brad Green and his buddies first first. You will know that Chucky got it first and can never play dumb no more. I will forward it on to anyone who asks and they can decide you is crazy and who is not and who is a liar and who is not. My email address is motomaniac_02186 at yahoo.com and my phone number is 506 434 1379 I do not call people collect as Chucky does.

RE: Corruption
Hey Fellas,
Please find enclosed exactly the same material served upon Paul Zed before he met Paul Martin at the airport last weekend. The copy of wiretap tape numbered 139 is served upon you in confidence as officers of the court in order that it may be properly investigated. As you review the material it should be painfully obvious to you why I have no respect for your chosen profession of lawyer/politician. I must say that both Mr. Lord and Mr. McKenna were clever to keep some distance from the recent federal election but I don’t think it was very wise for Mr. Lord to have me expelled from the Legislature Building for political reasons rather than legal reasons.
I have done as the Sargent at Arms ordered on June 24th and stayed away from the Legislature and waited for it to take its summer break so that no more bullshit about me can be said. I have now delivered this material to your constituency office Mr. Lord so that you may deal with this at a personal level with Mr. Green. I will complain of you Mr. Lord and your friends Mr. Green, Mr. Armstrong and Mr. Burke to court along with the Fredericton Police Dept. and the Sargent at Arms if I do not receive a satisfactory response very quickly and convince me of your ethics and stand with me. I have not heard from the Fredericton Police Dept. thus I suspect that Corporal Ross has done as he threatened and thrown this material in the trash for the benefit of his fellow police officer, Mr. LeBlanc.
Mr. Green may I suggest that you study every word and listen to the CD closely and prepare to argue every word if you disagree with the fact that a fellow Canadian has the right to seek justice and relief for the many wrongs practiced against him. What would you do if the Men in Black had appeared at your door and were willing to take you away to Cuba without counsel because of false allegations were made against you in order to stop you from defending your family’s interests? As you can see I have come home to protest these actions in a political and legal fashion. I have done only as the Solicitor General Anne McLellan has suggested and given the evidence to those who claim to have jurisdiction over me. You speak for the Sargent at Arms and the Fredericton Police. They dropped the ball the instant they pulled me outside the building for no reason. They claimed jurisdiction but refused to investigate. I have seen it reported that I had tried to speak from the gallery and the Sargent at Arms falsely claimed that I had attempted to serve someone within the legislature building. Both statements are untrue. I left materials at the door in the custody of the security guard as he requested. I was only looking to find Charles Leblanc in order that he may witness me delivering the enclosed materials to T.J. Burke’s office. This was necessary for me to do because as you know most lawyers are reckless with the truth. I will let your fellow politician/lawyer. Peter McKay, explain to you the reason why that is. However it was no longer necessary to require a witness because the Sargent at Arms and the Fredericton Police had watched me go into 710 Queen St and come out without the material they had just refused after harassing me. They are my witnesses as you are now.
As for you, Mr. McKenna, I expect you and your fellow lawyers at McInnes Cooper to uphold the law and conduct yourselves in a professional manner according to the rules that allow you to practice law for a fee. Don’t you think you should act ethically rather quickly and report your newfound knowledge of crime? At the very least I have made you witnesses to my complaints and rest assured I will be asking you many questions in court if the RCMP doesn’t ask you first. Mr. McKenna, I read your recent speech about how you likened the actions of federal political leaders to various purebred dogs. I must add my two bits worth to your comments. Those fancy dogs don’t hunt like the mangy old mutt that is the guard dog of my little Clan. I don’t bark but I am quick to bite. If you turn around you will see me sniffing at your heels. If any lawyer makes one false move, I make every effort to rip his nuts off. Check my work before you call me a liar.
I have followed the money home to the Maritimes. I find that you and many other liberals have been in pursuit of filthy lucre every bit as much as Mr. Mulroney, Mr. Crosbie and their many cohorts. The Maritime Provinces have suffered the most from the many years of political abuse by greedy lawyers and their bosses. Mr. Harper called Maritimers defeatists but he failed to say who was beating us up. Obviously it was federal politicians on both sides of the fence. The last thing Mr. Martin is to me is noble. In my opinion he is a fine example of a very crooked lawyer aspiring to be an adept politician like his daddy. I view your speech about dogs simply as a little dog licking a big dog’s nuts in a stylish way in order to win the Alfa male’s favor and someday win his position amongst a pack of political thieves. Feel free to argue me after you explain to me real slow how Cardinal Law was legally removed from my complaint and what right the Men in Black had to try to take me away because I am exposing the awful truth about bad acting bankers and Feds. Please don’t pretend that you guys don’t know a few very well heeled Yankees that have helped you along in your own personal pursuit of happiness. Mr. Tobin got a great job working for an interesting Conservative. Eh? Should Belinda listen to Mr. Mulroney and Mr. Harper or to her new CEO? What do you think? How much time do you think I may have left on the planet for asking such questions as this? What do you think may cause my demise? In the end I will rest assured that someday my ghost will be very vindictive against lawyers that failed to uphold the law. At this point in time it would be very easy for some lawyer to act ethically and become the people’s political hero. What say you? Can you trust your legal and political friends to not turncoat and stand with me? Interesting dilemma, eh?

Only the crooks are scared that I am back in the Maritimers. A lot of ordinary folks like me are laughing at how I am poking holes in their stuffed shirts. This letter is wickedly funny, Both Adrienne Clarkson and Herménégilde Chiasson answered this one after my wife and I and a lawyer who wanted Rob Moore's seat in parliament visited the Police Commission in New Brunswick. Bev Harrison would not answer this letter or even return my calles even though he has represented me from my spot on the hill since I landed home last year. His assistants have affirmed to me several times that they received it. I am demanding an answer from Tanker now tha old Bev's assistant Bill Oliver refused to call me back for the last time on Friday. I do not care what the tough talking Danny Boy Bussieres says only the Speaker can authorize the Sergeant at Arms to ban a man from the legislature. Besides that the Governor General his ultimate boss told me I was doing the right thing before I returned to the USA and into Deputy Dog's buddy's jail. I wiil put this letter and the responses in the same email to Chucky and Deputy Dog

RE: Corruption
Sirs,
Please find enclosed exactly the same material served upon Premier Lord and Frank McKenna on the day after Canada Day and a copy of Brad Green’s response. I have also enclosed a letter to Senator Joe Day that was to be forwarded to the Arar Commission. The copy of wiretap tape numbered 139 is served upon you in confidence as the Queen’s representatives of in order that it may be properly investigated. I ask New Brunswick’s Lieutenant-Governor of, Herménégilde Chiasson to forward this material to the Governor General of Canada. I have already emailed her notice to expect this material and I will email her the text of this letter as well.
Whereas the Legislative Assembly of New Brunswick stands adjourned until Tuesday, December 14, 2004, at 1 o'clock p.m, perhaps you fellas can find a little time to answer me before I sue the Queen in the USA. My questions are as follows: Why did Sergeant-at-Arms, Dan Bussieres and the Fredericton Police Dept. ask me to step outside the Legislature Building and then forever ban me from re-entering the premises on June 24th, 2004? What will you do with your newfound knowledge of crime?
It is only fair that I ask these questions. After all I am a Canadian Citizen and I do have the right to ask any question to those who represent me. Whether they are born to the position or elected or appointed or merely hired, they all must uphold the law and the public trust. The Queen of Canada, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, is the official Head of State and is represented in New Brunswick by the Lieutenant-Governor. Therefore, the Lieutenant-Governor is the nominal Head of State at the provincial level, empowered with the responsibility of representing the Queen in the province. Thus I have asked him the aforesaid questions before I leave the jurisdiction of New Brunswick.
The Ombudsman, Bernard Richard told me to take my matter up the Speaker of the House and thus far Mr. Harrison has ignored my phone calls and emails. Bev Harrison did have the opportunity to ask me any question he wished before he decided not to vote for me. It seems he would rather have the lawyer, Rob Moore speak for him in Parliament. I would not be surprised to learn that Bev Harrison was the same man I had spoken to months ago or that he had attended the debate in Hampton. I have no doubt that Mr Harrison knows exactly who I am and why I was in Fredericton that day. I am not a rebel just because I make inquiries and demand that people in public service uphold the law.
The problem is that on June 24th I was a candidate for the 38th Parliament. I was busy challenging those still in public service such as John Herron to do their jobs and uphold the law. I was merely in the legislative building looking for the Frenchman Charles Leblanc so he could witness me serve this material upon the lawyer, T J Burke next door. I had made certain that many politicians were made well aware of my concerns and allegations before coming home to run for a seat in the next Parliament. The local liberal, Leroy Armstrong was willing to debate me so I was giving this material to his liberal lawyer friends to review. Dan Bussieres offended me for political reasons not legal reasons. The Speaker of the House should not have allowed the Sergeant’s actions or at least responded to my inquiry. These must be irrefutable facts because after almost two months of asking everyone imaginable about the actions of the Sergeant-at-Arms, no one would even tell me his name let alone explain his actions, It appears that the Government of Canada would rather assist corrupt politicians within a country that had rebelled against the Queen than assist one of her subjects to escape their harassment.
I must return to the USA because I have been summoned to court to argue more false allegations made against me. Whereas my country is willing to throw me back into Ashcroft’s clutches, I must complain of the Crown. It seems the Yankees may have been right long ago when they refused to pay taxes without proper representation. Perhaps Canada should follow suit. We all know what has been said about the evils of longstanding governments. What say you sirs? Am I speaking sedition or common sense?
I have heard that Louis Riel once said that the French would take over Canada without firing a shot. Now many of the French wish to separate. Maybe true Canadians can reunite our country in the same fashion. There is no need of the cartridge box as long as we properly employ the soap box and ballot box. The tools of bloodless revolutions are the laws of the land. They are in the hands of people begging us for our vote every so often. Canada does not need to pay homage to a Queen who will not check the work of the people representing her and us. We need a new form of government. I agree with Louis Riel’s thinking when he proclaimed that the Metis were “loyal subjects of Her Majesty the Queen of England’. If we are rebels, we are rebels against the Company that sold us” Although he was labelled a rebel, Louis Riel was a Canadian patriot who did stop Western Canada from being absorbed by the USA. He was also elected to Parliament twice. He would abhor NFTA as much as I. The words in Riel’s diary are well worth heeding.
“O my God! Save me from the misfortune of getting involved with the United States. Let the United States protect us indirectly, spontaneously, through an act of Providence, but not through any commitment or agreement on our part.” Riel stated in his diary this as well: “God revealed to me that the government of the United States is going to become extraordinarily powerful.”

This letter really put Lizzy Weir's panties in a knot. Chucky's buddy Bernie Richard answered me immediately but she never did. When I got out of jail and jumped bail in the USA one year later and started demanding answers from the NDP she was not long taking a job from Bernie Lord and leaving her party in the toilet. Bernie Richard di the same thing years ago to save Lord nasty little minority. The problem is the liberals are no better ask the not so good Dr. Doherty if he wishes to argue me in public about it. In order to argue him and the pretty woman Bernie Lord had his eyes on I tried to run in Bernie's snap election in Saint John Harbour because in my opinion I caused Lizzy to quit and run off. I knew I would never be elected but the decent folks who always voted NDP deserved to know the score and my opinion of the LNG scene is worth listening to. However the not so non partison Anne Hollies and her yo yo underling Paddy Addison illegally refused me for the benefit of Bernie Lord.The Irvings and the Spanish dudes who have lost their popularity in other countries want to put such a dangerous thing right int the damned harbour and the crooked Mayor suppots it? What planet is he from I must ask. People with no names call me crazy. Well in retort I say if the politicians are sane then I am glad I am nuts.
However before they put me away anyone can have this letter and Bernie Richard's very dumb answer. I would not be surprised if this blog turns into a pumpkin by midnight EH Chucky? However if you leave it up I will post sometime a very wicked Cinderella Affadavit by Newfy Johnny Crosbie's law firm of Patterson Palmer that will explain why the liberal President in NB Greg Byrne has now gone solo.

One no named dude lamented that I go on and on and I admit that that is true. On ther other hand earlier another fella ask for more and lamented that I was too slow posting. Rest assured I know most Maritimers do not give a damn about legal crap or politics. I fit in that boat as well it is just that the smiling bastards attacked me and my little clan and I must defend myself the best way I know how. I figure fire with fire so to speak so I went fiercely political and did not care about being elected. I just wanted to make my issues public for the benefit of my family first and foremost and the awful truth only hurts crooks. Most folks would find this crap boring yet lawyers and politicians like old women are gossips big time. They climb to the top pulling on the balls of others to get there. Trust that many would find this an interesting read. There is a lot to tell after being blocked in most places for years and I am trying hard to stay local to Fredericton only simply because that is the audience the Chucky draws. If the dude don't like to read my stuff click to another of Chucky's mindless blogs and look a pictures that take a long time to look at in dial up.
For ethical lawyers (if there is such athing) benefit here is something that will help explain the news today in a very funny light. McAllister answered me but Miller did not. Miller's (David Hache's too)law firm is merging with the rest of Patterson Palmer's outfit so it appears I have now crossed paths with the same bunch of bastards at least four times in various matters. Merging makes a firm more powerful but it also opens the door to the need to defend the bad actions of your many partners. Everybody knows you can't trust lawyer the that Patterson and palmer in Halifax went with Franky Boy McKenna's buddies i all to funny to me. The dudes in Turo are the only smart ones in the bunch. They said to hell with them all. Maybe I will give then a call. If you cannnot find an honest lawyer your might as well hire the wisest one EH? As i said Byron Priors complaint will prove to the Maritimes why. Look him up on the web or in front of Parliament next week.

RE: Corruption
Sirs,
Please find enclosed exactly the same material served upon New Brunswick’s Lieutenant-Governor Hermenegilde Chiasson and many others. The copy of wiretap tape numbered 139 is served upon you in confidence as officers of the court in order that it may be properly investigated.
Months ago I contacted you, Mr. McAllister by phone and informed you that I wholeheartedly agreed with your standing that Insurance companies were making the consumers cover their losses in the stock market. Brad Green and Premier Lord played Ms. Weir and the Commission like a fiddle and were merely doing their part to assist the interests of the Insurance Companies at the expense of the public trust. Although you were happy to hear that your opinions had been read and understood, you definitely did not want my evidence supporting your claims. Pursuant to my last statement to you, Mr. McAllister I have now proved to you that I am a man of my word and I now expect you to obey the Code of Conduct that you must obey in order to practice law for a fee.
Mr. Miller, the same holds true for you. Within these documents you will find the name of a lawyer you know very well, David Lutz. I find this man to be a very poor example of an officer of the court and I don’t mind telling the world my opinion of him. Please read my letter to him and let me know as to whether or not you stand with him and against me. If anyone were to ask me, Mr. Lutz is a man in need of legal aid and has no right to charge others for his malicious assistance. Will you spring to his defence when I file a complaint against him? Whether you fellas like it or not I have now made you witnesses to my sad complaints before I returned to the USA.
If I survive the malicious prosecution that I am looking forward to in Boston next month, I will return to litigate in New Brunswick. There is no middle ground for any lawyer to stand on in this battle within two corrupt justice systems. All that I have demanded from any lawyer is simple ethical conduct. Why is that too much to ask for?
I have read your various spit and chews with Brad Green and I must admit I find them to be quite comical from my position as a layman in the catbird seat. Rest assured that I will endeavour to make my opinions widely known. Sue me if you wish. In fact I double dog dare ya to. Bring this material to court so that the jury can have something to read while we argue truth, justice and the Maritimes kowtowing to the American Way.

A F F I D A V I T

I, Stephen J. May, of the City of St. John’s, in the Province of Newfoundland and Labrador, Barrister and Solicitor, make oath and say as follows:

THAT I am a Partner in the St. John’s office of PATTERSON PALMER solicitors for William Matthews, the Member of Parliament for Random-Burin-St. George’s in the Parliament of Canada.

THAT Mr. Matthews originally retained Mr. Edward Roberts, Q.C. on or about 30 April 2002 after Mr. Byron Prior, the Defendant/Plaintiff by Counterclaim, had made allegations against Mr. Matthews in a publication called “My Inheritance - The truth - Not Fiction: A Town with a Secret”. In that publication, the allegation was made that Mr. Matthews had had sex with a girl who had been prostituted by her mother. That girl was alleged to have been Mr. Prior’s sister.

THAT upon being retained, Mr. Edward Roberts wrote a letter to Mr. Prior. That letter to Mr. Prior is attached as Exhibit “1" to my Affidavit.

THAT subsequent to Mr. Roberts’ letter to Mr. Prior, Mr. Roberts received a 1 May 2002 e-mail from Mr. Prior. That e-mail is attached as Exhibit “2".

THAT subsequent to Mr. Roberts receipt of the e-mail, Mr. Prior swore an Affidavit acknowledging that what had been said in that publication was false. That Affidavit is attached as Exhibit “3" to my Affidavit. Following Mr. Roberts’ receipt of that Affidavit, Mr. Matthews advised that he was satisfied not to pursue the matter any further and our firm closed our file.

THAT on or about 25 October 2004, I was retained by Mr. Matthews following his gaining knowledge that a web site, made a series of allegations against him relating to my having sex with a girl of approximately 12 years old through to an approximate age of 15 years old. It also accused him of being a father of one of her children and accused him of having raped that girl. Upon checking the web site I saw that Byron Prior, the Defendant, had been identified as the author of the material on the site.

THAT Mr. Matthews instructed me to write Mr. Prior, to remind him of the fact that the allegations had been admitted to being false through a 16 May 2002 Affidavit to advise him of Mr. Matthews’ intentions to commence legal proceedings if the comments were not removed from the web site. A copy of my letter to Mr. Prior is attached as Exhibit “4" to this Affidavit.

THAT I attach as Exhibit “5" a transcript from a 5 November 2004 voicemail left by David Amos, identified in the voicemail as a friend of Mr. Prior.

THAT I attach as Exhibit “6" a portion of a 6 November 2004 e-mail from Mr. Amos.

THAT until I received his voicemail and e-mail, I had never heard of Mr. Amos.

THAT Mr. Amos has continued to send me e-mail since his 5 November e-mail. Including his 6 November 2004 e-mail, I have received a total of 15 e-mails as of 23 January 2005. All do not address Mr. Matthews’ claim or my involvement as Mr. Matthews’ solicitor. I attach as Exhibit “7" a portion of a 12 January 2005 e-mail that Mr. Amos sent to me but originally came to my attention through Ms. Lois Skanes whose firm had received a copy. This e-mail followed the service of the Statement of Claim on 11 January 2005 on Mr. Prior. I also attach as Exhibit “8" a copy of a 19 January 2005 e-mail from Mr. Amos.

THAT I attach as Exhibit “9" a copy of a 22 November 2004 letter addressed to me from Edward Roberts, the Lieutenant Governor of Newfoundland and Labrador covering a 2 September 2004 letter from Mr. Amos addressed to John Crosbie, Edward Roberts, in his capacity as Lieutenant Governor, Danny Williams, in his capacity as Premier of Newfoundland and Labrador, and Brian F. Furey, President of the Law Society of Newfoundland and Labrador. I requested a copy of this letter from Government House after asking Mr. Roberts if he had received any correspondence from Mr. Amos during his previous representation of Mr. Matthews. He advised me that he received a letter since becoming Lieutenant Governor, portions of which involved his representation of Mr. Matthews. Mr. Roberts’ letter also covered his reply to Mr. Amos.

THAT I attach as Exhibit “10" an e-mail from Mr. Amos received on Sunday, 23 January 2005.

THAT I swear this Affidavit in support of the Application to strike Mr. Prior’s counterclaim.

Hey Mr. Costello
Need I say I was not impressed by you yesterday. At least you confessed that you knew who I was but so much for a jealous defense of your client’s interests. EH? That said there is no need to send you hard copy of my material. Your associates within McInnes Cooper already have enough to review and confer with you about.
Perhaps you should call the dudes or ladies (: Tell them how I chuck rocks will ya? from Patterson Palmer in Halifax that merged with your firm or better yet Lenny Hoyt and Franky Boy McKenna. In my humble opinion your little buddy Franky Boy as Canadian Ambassador should have tried to stop NB Power’s malicious lawsuit against Venezeula in the USA before it picked up steam. But what do I know. EH? I think the dudes from Venezeula were wise to bring the issues back to the Maritimes and into the Irvings’ lap. I think it was a hoot that they employed your firm to do so. What say you? Whereas you do not wish to speak to me I will speak to these dudes about you, Embassy of Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, 32 Range Rd Ottawa Ontario K1N 8J4, Phone: 613 235-5151 and then send them what I sent Allan Rock Franky Boy Mckenna and the FBI almost one year ago. Perhaps you should call some of your friends mentioned below that I served my stuff upon yesterday after I talked to you and ask them what the Hell I am up to if you don’t already know.
Veritas Vincit
David Raymond Amos

P.S. the following was an interesting article to come out in the local paper just as Humpty Dumpty had the Governor Gerneral drop the Writ on the last election. It certainly seems to me that the Irving’s and Bernie Lord were trying hard to help Stevey Boy Harper’s government and John Wallace get elected in order to protect their own selfish interests. EH? If he won’t tell ya then ask me why Franky Boy does not want to be the liberal leader right now. I Double Dog Dare Ya. As I said in closing yesterday you have my number but maybe the dudes from Venezeula lost it so here it is again 506 434 1379. Your problem is do I want to talk to you now. Whilst I am talking to your clients about your incompetance I will explain to them why I am preparing to sue your whole god damned law firm.

Liberal leader ‘jeopardizing’ NB Power’s chances in lawsuit over failed Orimulsion deal: Tory MLA
New Brunswickers should question whether Liberal Leader Shawn Graham is fighting for them or for Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, says a Tory MLA. Jody Carr, MLA for Oromocto-Gagetown, made the stinging indictment against Mr.Graham Thursday during a heated committee hearing where the Liberal leader took repeated swipes at David Hay, NB Power’s president and chief executive officer, for failing to answer legal questions regarding the utility’s Orimulsion lawsuit. Mr. Graham questioned some of the tactics being advanced by NB Power’s legal staff and demanded to know how much the power corporation budgeted for the legal battle against the Venezuelan government and its state-owned oil company.
Mr. Carr said the Liberal leader crossed the line in Thursday’s committee hearing and could endanger NB Power’s lawsuit. “The issue is complicated and it shows the issue is far over his head to what he can comprehend,” Mr. Carr said in an interview later."He was in effect working on the side of the Venezuelan government by jeopardizing the court proceedings."He was jeopardizing the chances of government and NB Power recouping the $2.2 billion in savings and therefore, in essence, that put him on the other side.” NB Power restarted its lawsuit on Sept. 1, when it filed a statement of claim looking for $2.2 billion in financial damages, which equates to the price difference between purchasing heavy fuel oil to burn at the Coleson Cove Generation Station and Orimulsion, a cheap water-and-bitumen mixture patented by Petroleos de Venezuela, S.A. (PDVSA).
NB Power has hired Stewart McKelvey Stirling Scales to quarterback the lawsuits filed in Fredericton and New York along with Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP to serve as their U.S. counsel. Mr. Hay estimated that the corporation has already spent as much as $600,000 on legal bills relating to the Orimulsion lawsuit.The Liberal leader grew increasingly frustrated when Mr. Hay stonewalled his attempt to get a firm answer on NB Power’s budget for Orimulsion-related legal fees. “For the life of me I can’t understand how it could jeopardize the court proceedings in saying how much we are thinking this court challenge may cost,” Mr. Graham said.Throughout the committee session, Mr. Hay assured the Liberal leader that the power corporation was evaluating the risk-reward ratio at each legal “fork in the road.” Mr. Hay said he cannot disclose any details that could tip the utility’s legal hand considering the Venezuelans are keeping a close eye on the proceedings."We are dealing with people with extremely deep pockets. And if you go to a poker game “... and you say, I have my $1,000 here or whatever it is you are playing with, that gives an advantage to the other side,” Mr. Hay said.
Mr. Carr also accused Mr. Graham of misleading Saint John residents about the Orimulsion costs during the recent byelection campaign in Saint John Harbour. Mr. Carr said he found it disconcerting that Liberal campaign signs said the Conservative government lost $2.2 billion through the bungled Orimulsion fuel deal but now Mr. Graham admits the money was a “potential loss of savings.”

Are you in Canada, in Parliment, or are you still in the Boston area?

Does this stuff answer your question Stevey Baby? I read what you said of me within your long winded Blogs. I told you the truth years ago and now I will tell you a little bit more. To me you are just another greedy sneaky Yankee now. But to be fair to you I must admit that we have our share of bull___ing bloggers and crooked politicians in the Maritimes as well One of them is a Frenchie named Charlie Leblanc and another named Bernie Lord. Please allow me to introduce them and some of their cohorts to you. Their emails are wittin and his Blog and yours is below. How dare you bastards imply that I am a one percenter in order to promote yourselves.

This is obvious Bull__ supported by Charlie Leblanc for his old buddy the malevolent Sergreant at Arms Danny Boy Bussieres were talking two years ago. Now that he has lost his trusted staus he files a human rights compalint after he laughed at my false imprisonment in a Yankee jail?

IS ELVY ROBICHAID SEEING THE LIGHT????
by Charles LeBlanc Friday, Jun. 25, 2004 at 10:56 AM
Fredericton

updates from Charles

I got a few late stories that I want to bring up.
They had a protest at the Legislature on Wednesday
and I would say about 400 people showed up. I made my
own little investigation in the crowd and I soon found
out that many people from the Northern Part of the
Province knew about my protest.
These Acadians read about my protest in L’Acadie
Nouvelle! A few weeks earlier, I found out that the
English Population from the Miramichi area didn’t know
about my fight so this shows me that it’s so important
to have the media covering your issues.
During the protest, I felt like I was in a police
state. There were cops are over the place. I
approached three of them and said - My God? We need
violence, bricks going through windows, people being
shot and tear gas!!!
This is the only way that the Government will
listen.
One cop said - If I have to use my gun? I know
exactly where my first bullet is going to go!! Pretty
scary…lol….
Speaking of violence?
That guy from the Sackville area who went to
Toronto with his vehicle full of guns! Very scary
Stuff!!!
What did I tell you people in the past? Someone is
going to crack up one of these days and I know for a
fact the area targeted is going to be the Legislature.

There’s always undercovers cops around but only
when the House is in session.
As God as my witness I hope nothing happens but
it’s just a matter of time till someone is push over
the edge.
I guess a guy name David Amos was shown the door
yesterday at the Legislature. This guy is running as
an Independent candidate in the riding of Fundy Royal.
I met the guy over the net and he has a beef with our
political bureaucrats.
I admire people fighting for what they believe in
but you can’t get carried away. I guess in this case?
He wanted to speak from the Gallery and that’s a big
faux pas!

After Stevey Boy Harper gets sworn in I will call Washington to see if Spectre got the wiretap tapes and then start forwarding this email everywhere. In an ethical effort to impeach Bush and his lapdog Harper myself.
What did Lamrock, Burke, Murphy, McGuinley and you think of the copy of # 139? Scared the shit out of you EH? Whereas you little local liberal lawyers would not help me unseat Premier Lord and stop Stevey Boy Harper in h9s tracks i will through in the same lawsuits with him. It is hard to get good help these days. The word integrity does not fit in the job discription of a lawyer or a Parliamentian. EH?
The fact that Emerson just crossed the floor and the Dastardly Dave Dingwall story broke yesterday kinda sends your wicked little party down the tubes EH? From my point of view it looks good on you dudes. Say Hey to Franky Boy McKenna for me will ya? I hope to argue you all very soon in court.

Dear Mr. Specter:

I have been asked to forward the enclosed tapes to you from a man named, David Amos, a Canadian citizen, in connection with the matters raised in the attached letter. Mr. Amos has represented to me that these are illegal FBI wiretap tapes. I believe Mr. Amos has been in contact with you about this previously.

To Whom it may concern
I know Petey Baby MacKay don't love me so there is no sense in wasting my dime calling him. Hell he has refused to answer my letters or call me back even after Belinda Baby dumped him, so I do not expect him to do the right thing as Minister of Foreign Affairs other than to accept nasty little Franky Boy McKenna's resignation ASAP. Tell me is Franky Boy entitled to severance pay like his fellow Malawyer ritime buddy Dingwall is? Whereas the liberals Wayne Easter and Landslide Annie refused to protect my dumb arse over the years in their capacity as Solicitor General/Minister of Public Safety. I guess I should be fair and allow it Mr. Day's to try to act ethically on my behalf for a day or so, before I sue the Crown. EH?
Rest assured that I ain't holding my breath waiting for Mr. Day to call me back. Like many of the rest of you Stockwell Day has known of my troubles ever since Harper was elected as his latest boss in 2004 when he sat in the 37th Parliament
In the meantime in answer to Andrew Kyrstal's very dumb question on the radio just now.,methinks I should inform the NHL dudes that are being prosecuted by corrupt Yankees how I can help them.I know Andrew Kystral and all the Rogers dudes never will. What the New Jersey Dudes are up to right now is merely a case of the big bad pot calling a minor little kettle black to me and Andrew Kyrtal knows it too. Just like the Lord Conrad Black versus FitzGerald matter in Chicago everybody is trying to play dumb and it was to funny that Peter C. Newman apologized after I sent his lawyers some of my stuff..
Tell me something honestly if any you can find it in your soul to do so. Do you really think that the Conservatives thought that I didn't notice that Mulroney's right hand man Dereck Burney set up your Cabinet or that Michael Fortier was not a partner in his law firm?

RE: Rampant Public Corruption in Canada and the USA
Hey,
Now that Paul Martin has finally set the date for his confidence vote, methinks its time to pack my bags and head for home. I must raise some serious political hell in the Maritimes before the Commonwealth of Massachusetts does its worst to bankrupt my wife and put my kids on the street before I can expose the rampant public corruption. This is also a very good day to prove within the USA that we are well aware of each other and of my concerns and allegations in order to stress test the integrity of the US Mail. It and the Canada Post have failed me big time in recent years particularly just before the Yankees falsely imprisoned me last year for the benefit of George W. Bush, John Kerry and Paul Martin to name a few. I have no doubt whatsoever each of you dudes know more about me than I do about you. However that does not mean that I have not studied each of you a lot more than the ordinary layman. Just so we are clear, I have no respect for any of you. I know that all of you are as crooked as Chief Mearn, his cops and the lawyers who are coming into our home tomorrow without a warrant. This mail should prove your malice and willingness to support crime and public corruption.
Pursuant to my many emails, phone calls and faxes etc., you will find enclosed as promised exactly the same material I served upon the Solicitor Generals Teddy Olson and landslide Annie McLellan last year before I ran for Parliament last year. The CD of the copy of wiretap tape # 139 is served upon you as officers of the court and FBI Agents in order that it may be properly investigated. Franky got this stuff and more last year. The FBI got even more the year before. Perhaps they should go find the original tapes that the Suffolk County District Attorney and Special Agent in Charge Ken Kaiser have been playing dumb about for far too long. This material was good enough to impeach George W. Bush last year and cause many people to quit or lose their jobs. It is every bit as valuable today and you all know it. Ask the many people whose names can be found within these documents or Franky Boy or Claude Richer, Allan Rock’s lawyer buddy in the RCMP about this stuff before you call me a liar. As you all know I am out of jail on bail pending my upcoming criminal trial in front of a jury of my peers. I have the right to remain silent in the USA. I will employ different rights in Canada and say a lot.
What I choose to say while stumping for a seat in Parliament in Canada is of my concern not yours. If you dudes do your jobs here and I act ethically and legally up home with luck the world will be far better off in short order. I have already checked the rules with the people working for Elections Canada. We agree it is perfectly legal for an innocent man to run for Parliament while being prosecuted with false charges in the wrong jurisdiction and venue in the USA. Everybody knows I can secure my personal freedom quicker in a political forum in Canada rather than argue crooked judges in the USA. They have already imprisoned me on bull**** charges without even reading me my rights or telling me why I was in jail. The crooks are not going to have a sudden fit of ethical behavior now without it becoming a matter of political will. We all know it is high time for a change, the sooner the better for the Maritimes as well as the rest of the world. What better politician to argue with than a right wing lawyer named Rob Moore?
As you all no doubt know I have been talking to many people within the UN and have sent many much of my stuff. You all must have laughed as hard as I did when the Cubans were afraid to talk about my stuff. I must agree with George Bush about one thing. The UN is certainly in need of an overhaul. Yet we all know that nasty dudes like Maurice Strong’s buddy, Paul A. Volcker, the Former North American Chairman of the Trilateral Commission and Karl Rove’s puppet, John Bolton are just going to make matters worse. The same holds true with the turncoat Robert C. Pozen. He now offers advice to Bush on how to fix Social Security simply because I sent him running for cover with my Putnam Investment concerns and the malevolent media control of Global Corporations. Feel free to argue me or act ethically. You choose. I don’t care. Franky Boy knows he is way past too late. I am just rubbing his nose it before I talk a lot about him and his failure to uphold the public trust in our old stomping grounds up home. I can’t help but wonder how he explained his “Harper is a lapdog for Bush” dogma to Karl Rove and his nasty cohorts. I suspect it was an allowed comment from an insider of the Carlyle Group. Don’t you? We all know Stephen Harper would never fit in that group. He is as dumb as a post. All of his successes playing at politicking have just been a matter of luck and playing on the PC and Liberal scandals. Harper is kinda scary to me. He has a truly awful agenda in store for all Canadians like evil old T. Alex Hickman and Johnny Crosbie did for our Newfys.
Sometimes less is more. So in conclusion I will just quote former Inspector General of the DHS Clark Kent Irwin and simply say it would have benefited all if he had taken his own advice way back in November of 2003 when he had an important job.
POGO: “Any advice for your fellow public servants?”
Irwin: “Well, just do your job and let the political chips fall where they may. Unless you’re willing to do that, it seems to me you shouldn’t take the job in the first place.” What say you?

Oh ye critics with no names why not pick up the phone tomorrow and call your Ombudsman and Chucky's buddy Bernie Richard mention my name and ask him whether or not he received this email on August 11th, 2004 at 3.11 pm two weeks before he met my family in his office. Then if you grow up and get a name and an emaiul address watch me prove to you I am no friend of Charles Leblanc


Hey Bernard
Thanks for your response though. I didn't believe you on the phone the instant that you tried to make an issue about not receiving the email to Wayne Steeves. I figured that you were covering for Brad Green because that would mean that you knew the CISNB was involved. I laughed when you repeated it in the email. Do you think me dumb?The Fredericton PD guard the legislature correct? Ask Sgt. Kelly or Chief Carlisle if they had jurisdiction over me when they threw me out. The Crown always has jurisdiction over a Canadian citizen particularly when he is on native soil. I figured out it was Dan that threw mw out. He should have taken the stuff in the yard just as soon as he affirmed that he and the cops had jurisdiction over me as he ordered me away from the legislative building. They did watch me go into 710 Queen St to serve TJ Burke and come out without the stuff. They know I did it. Over Two hundred people watched me serve Leroy.Armstrong once he stuck his nose in my affairs. Anne McLellan and Brad Green both suggested that I give this stuff to cops that claim jurisdiction. Go argue Bruce Noble. .I don't need any luck Uncle Franky has been dead for two months even though no one has notified my wife I know it. Watch me turn the worm on the Secret Service, the FBI and the RCMP
There is no way you could have known about Connie Fogal without getting Wayne Steeves' email as well. He should have sent the CISNB out to do their job by now. Obviously that is not the case. Maybe Elizabeth Weir will have more luck making you understand. As for me I simply don't trust you. I will be calling you to court. We can argue about integrity and jurisdiction there. In the mean time perhaps you should go find Leroy Armstrong or T J Burke or Brad Green or Premier Lord or Bruce Noble and ask to see the documents and the copy of the wiretape tape I sent them before I compel you to argue about them with me. There is another fella running around Fredericton with the same stuff. His name is Vaughn Barnett. If the politicians won't talk to you, maybe he will. his number is 457-4559 But he is likely out in the front yard protesting something. I don't trust him either because he and Charles Leblanc are buddies and I know he is a liar.

Vaughn did you get my material as Leblanc claims? You are the third guy he says he gave it to. If not I know I will be the last. I have had enough of him and his funny ways at my expense. He whined and complained that he had no computer so I gave him one. But he failed to even say Thanks. Now the liar wants people to buy him a Bull Horn so he can bother more people with his Bullshit. Well Fredericton has already met a real legal and social activist and i did it all without a whisper or any press coverage. Soon Ottawa will receive the same stuff and much much more before I return to the USA to argue the bastards pulling the strings up here in our old houses. The folks working there seem to care more what language the liars are speaking in rather than what they are actually saying. Charles LeBlanc spoke with a forked tongue when he claimed his Scottish heritage. He made my blood boil and my ancestors bones rattle when he went on and on about his roots. First the frenchy wants his flag on the government houses then he wants to wave it wearing our kilts? I am of the Keith Clan and founded my own. My ancestors were fine and noble warriors. Read their motto on the beer bottle Chucky and tell me if you believe it or not. Rest assured I do. Neither my Septs nor I would accept such a man as Charles Leblanc as a trusted friend.

Anonymous said...

David,

Yes, Charles gave me the material - although I must admit that I was not able to make much sense of it. Because of that, and because it appears to be out of my area of expertise, I doubt that I can help you very much. Also, unfortunately, your clash with Charles, and your low opinion of him (which I feel is unwarranted) has created a conflict of interests, as Charles is a friend of mine and a fellow activist. Since I doubt I can assist you much anyway, perhaps that doesn't matter. In any event, good luck with your cause.

I must admit that you have lots of guts to condenm me in my blog site.

Anyway? I tried to read those papers and I can honestly say that I don't uderstand what your battle is all about?

I never told you that I would give those papers to any MLA's. Why the hell do I want to be involded in your issues anyway.

I got enough on my own plate.

Ok...you got a little blog because a good supporter of this blog asked me to let you post your views.

Don't blow it!!!!

Is you wish to smear and used bad words? I'll delete the whole blog.

Try to be nice. Not too many websites allowso you to post your views so be nice in here.....

Watch the language....is not??? Well? Why don't you start a new blog????

Is easy to do.....

I really don't understand your point of view.

All the activists are trying to bring important issues to the public and you wish to condenm the same people.

Why burn all those bridges?

Oh well c'est la vie.....

Anonymous said...

Lets get this straight Chucky so there is no misunderstanding. You only allowed my words to stand this time around because other people read them and asked you to? Hmmm some ethics EH?

As for guts not only is my belly bigger than you my balls are as big as basketballs compared to yours. I ain't afraid of Count Peter Hans Klovenbach so why would I be afraid of you? You and your wannbe lawyer friend know full well I have been trying to impeach George W. Bush byway of the courts since 2002. Long before that nonsense in Iraq began. You hate me because if you had even glanced at the papers you just confessed you read then you know I sued Cardinal Law and caused him to quit his job on Dec 13th, 2002. It had nothing to do with child abuse like the media claims. It was merely filthy lucre that is all. Well my wife's cousin the exbanker turned priest Robert T. Kickham is still around around and cooking the books for the brand new Cardinal in Beantown. You know the dude in named O'Malley.

Furthmore Chucky you offer no argument to anything I state other than lie about not promising to serve Brad Green or falsely claiming that the computer I gave you was no good? The best you can is make jokes or critize my choice of words whilst I point out your serious lack of integrity?

In my law books it is not illegal to have poor manners or use the words I have employed thus far(as of yet anyway) I believe it falls under something that can be found in the Charter

However to slander someone and tell ouright lies about them for one's own gain is more than offensive. I have been falsely imprisoned because of the perjury of people like you who choose to support public corruption for their own gain. Methinks I should seek relief in court in fredericton particularly when I can prove it. Furthermore you know you have told several lies within the very blog.

I will wager if I posted something that you can never refute this blog will evporate immediately. Perhaps I should seal its fate and let your friends wonder why you erased me so quickly after I busted you in front of everybody. Never fear though I saved this blog in its entirety already. However you really should check you email and press print on the tif file that I just sent you and yoy hard copy of the proof that I keep wonderful records. Some of your buddies and adversaries may be reading it already. At the end of the day you may realize that I just may turn out to be the honest man that you ever met.

Don't you think you should hire a lawyer too? That last email was hell in a hand basket wasn't it? Why not call Cleveland Allaby (your know Tanker's lawyer) he hates both Bernie Lord and me but he won't demand any sort of apology from me. Hell he won't even whisper my name. Just maybe Cleveland Allaby will help Vaughn and you to understand my material and then ask you two dudes why you didn't call the RCMP years ago. Yea I know I am pipe dreaming. Honest cops and lawyers don't exist. That is pure Hollywood all the way and a long long way from the Maritimes EH? Ask my Newfy buddy Byron Prior how bad things really are around here.

Subject: Fwd: Sue me Eddy Baby I double Dog Dare Ya I telling Lord Black on you


Everybody loves a mystery. A lot of folks were no doubt wondering why the big talking old fart named Petey Newman apologized to Lord Conrad Black not long after he and Mikey Levine laughed off his lawsuit at the big party in Toronto. Didn't it seem strange to anyone that the Tory's law firm wrote the crooked old Lord a fat cheque as well? It seems that the Torys, a dude named Mr. Moate, Levine, Greenspan, Newman and I may be the only ones to know the true reason why and I am the only one who will tell the tale. Here is your clue see if you can figure it out. I know of two Maritimers who will never have a hope in hell of figuring it out because they do not have two clues between them and if the did they would not know what to do with them. One dude everybody calls Tanker and the other I call Frenchie. They know who they are do you

Bingo You Mr. Cleveland Allaby win the cake baked by Bernie Lord.

Cya'll in Court . Thanks for finally responding to me. Your timing is perfect. One hour before or so before the 39th Parliament begins and just in time before I polish off my first complaint to file in Federal court in Fredericton. Was it done so quickly after I blogged my letter to you in Chucky LeBlanc's web page? Did the gossip about my blogging in his website reach you first thing this morning? In my book you are as dumb as the Frenchie is. Wise or dumb I will call you as a witness to testify in Federal Court before I get around to suing you. Perhaps your lawyer and I should talk now. Hostile or not you will make an important witness not only on because of your lawsuits concernining Native Aboriginal matters (Remember Barry Bachrach represents me in the USA right now) but more importantly because Bernie Lord paid you a lot of money years ago to study the Justice Dept. (Wasn't it 112,000 grand or so?)
Obviously Cleveland you are no wiser than Eddy Greenspan. Clearly you think your status as a well known lawyer allows you not only to ignore and not uphold the law but break it if you wish. Should you have contacted the RCMP as soon as you listened the the CD I provided you with. Guess what I told them you got it already. My next calls are to the General Counsel of the SIRC and the old lawyer who represent the following folks. He has played dumb with me for way past to long.

Cleveland did you really think your email will scare me off? Look how fast I bounced it back and forwarded it to many others. When a man has been diligently attempting to impeach George W. Bush for over three years despite the attacks from crooked Feds etc nothing scares him anymore. A threat of litigation coming from the email box of a lawyer into mine is like manna from heaven to me. Didn't I slam Eddy Greenspan the same way? Man you are dumb if you though that I would not do the same thing with you. You just proved for me that every body else got my email and hard copy too. you asgin the same question I asked you on February 23rd. Whois your god damned lawyer maybe I know him already. If not tell him he has a fool for a client. Will ya?

Tell me honestly, Cleveland if you can find it in your your soul to do so. Why Didn't you sue Bernie Lord as you threatened to do particularly after you and I talked the day before I gave my material to your buddy Tom Young and the New Brunswick Securities Commission? I heard of no apology from him and I laughed when I saw Tanker being trundled down to the Speakers chair arm in arm with two crooks. I figured another backroom deal went down and Tanker needed a smarter lawyer because I had heard nothing from you and I made certain that you knew the score with Hard Copy of my material before that shit went down. Something definitely smells rotten in New Brunswick EH?

What, specifically, are all these people being sued for? You rant and rave and nobody can make heads or tails out of what you are talking about.

We know you ran for office. We know that you try to impeach Bush (and anybody who does that certainly gets good marks from me!) We know that for some reason they held you in jail? Is that correct?

I'm assuming its under the new terrorism laws, since you say they wouldn't let you see evidence. That also is not surprising the way the US is functioning.

But what are all the lawsuits about? There is something about wiretap evidence that for some reason you are sending to canadian politicians and lawyers..why is that?

What exactly are all these law firms doing? If they are crooked, then specifically what evidence do you have? That lawyers are crooks also doesn't surprise most people, I"m mostly surprised we continue to elect so many of them.

But if you could explain point by point what the grievances are against these people, then people may understand. Perhaps you don't care and just want to let off steam, that's fine too, that's what blogs are for. However, many people would like to know what you are suing these people for?

Anonymous said...

Good day to ye with no name. thanks for the question. Methinks by your questions you must be Vaughn.I stated the reason for my first lawsuit clearly live on CTV news to that Murphy character at suppertime just before I was allowed to debate Andy Scot in Oromocto.
My first lawsuit will be to seek relief for the offense against my rights under the Charter because I was falsely imprisoned without being charged, held without bail and it was all done without even being read my rights. Then I was denied my right to a trial after met the Canadian Consulate in jailand came screaming out. I had tried to remove the matter to the proper jurisdiction and venue in order to prove the malicious prosecution to no avail. the bastarsds in the USA will never give a jury of my peers and Federal Court in Canada does not employ a jury. Thus I must make my issues well known locally before I file so that the Judges will not dismiss my complaints so easily as they have done in the past. Give me a call if you are not Vaughn and I will meet you show you the evidence.

So you are suing the canadian government for being held in jail in the US? Is that right, or were you held in Canada? How does that even work?

Why go on a lengthy rant to 'test' Charles? Take a break if your manners are slipping. Having your messages deleted on the last place your story can be told hardly seems helpful.

"Then I was denied my right to a trial after met the Canadian Consulate in jailand came screaming out"

That makes no sense whatsoever. People don't need long rants, they need clarity. You are suing the canadian government because they refused to help you while in US custody, is that correct?

Well, that makes some sense anyway. So how are these New Brunswick lawyers involved? Are you saying that none of them will represent you or what? You are sending them this wiretap evidence for what reason? If it's federal court why are you even in New Brunswick, all the lawyers in this province are idiots and irving lackeys. Why not go to Toronto where there are at least some civil liberties lawyers.

The trouble is, I don't know of any legal grounds that 'forces' the canadian government to intervene in a foreign country's legal system. If somebody plants coke on you in columbia and you get caught, then plead with canada to help you out, you'll be out of luck.

Under the charter canadians have fewer rights than americans. Our 'terror laws' are the mirror image of the US's, but never even had moranda rights or anything ike that. In Canada, you are simply f&&&&& if you cross the state, as any native, environmentalist, protestor, or civil rights attorney will tell you.

I don't know of a single case where somebody successfully sued, even David Milgaard was given a settlement since it was dragging out so long. Natives have tried suing for years.

However, it's easy to talk from the outside. But if Ernst Zundel couldn't sue for being held for almost a decade with no charges against him in Canada, I don't see how far a lawsuit against Canada for not intervening in a foreign country will go.

"Welcome to New Brunswick?" Jeez I was born and raised here i have lived here for over forty years of my life. I am older than Chucky and lived just down the road from where he was brought up in Dorchester NB. I went to High School and UNB in Fredericton when most of the snots that are screwing us did. Why do you think I am so pissed off? You don't think I know the score. If someone claims that I am a Yankee again I think I may hunt them down. If because a man lives somewhere else for awhile makes him a man of that place then how come a Newfy is always a Newfy everywhere he goes.

Nobody called you a yankee, but starting threatening people is sure to get you deleted, as well as guaranteeing no court in the country will give you the time of day except to prosecute. As was said, there is virtually zero chance of suing the government for your claim. At least Charles is being constructive and taking it to the human rights people and doing his part to get more rights for new brunswickers. But good luck getting to court.

I don't know who Vaughn is, I was interested in the story because I couldn't decide whether you were crazy or just very angry. I still don't know.

I know there are constructive uses for anger, Charles has accomplished quite a bit with his. I'd hate to see ANYBODY spend all that time and energy in a fruitless cause such as trying to sue the government. The mention of being an 'activist' was heartening. Charles has been an activist and he and Tim Smith have almost single handedly got the rights of tenants on the map, and soon an injustice there 'may' be rectified, one that is a hundred years overdue.

Yet he and Tim accomplished it in less than two months, albeit with the help of a byelection.

Being imprisoned in the states is no crime in my book, their entire federal system is an illegal entity. Manlin Chee has been a public defender for over twenty years, won many awards, and now sits in jail because she sat on a panel that argued against the patriot act. While Canada isn't MUCH better, it is SOME better.

But like I said, the courts will give no recourse, as the courts have clearly stated that Canada's own terrorist act does not infringe on civil liberties. Anybody who thinks highly of civil liberties in Canada just needs to remember Oka, or Quebec, where thousands of french were rounded up without charge just so Trudeau could pretend to be macho.


There are lots of organizations that are attacking these things, and personally I think its a shame that those who have virtually identical claims against the government can't seem to get along. If there were a dozen Charles Leblanc's in the province we could literally turn the province upside down. YOu seem to have the passion, but maybe a little too much, as often you are incomprehensible. That's unfortunate because those who are victims of the aggression of the state are those whose stories most deserve to be heard.

Just a recommendation, but when you mentioned all those lawyers then you definitely got my interest. These guys work in a shroud of secrecy and somebody with the guts to air their dirty laundry would definitely accomplish more good with political activism than with lawsuits. Courts were designed to put undesirables in jail, not mete out justice. Hell, New Brunswick doesn't even allow class action lawsuits!

I don't always agree with Charles, and often his views and how he states them make me cringe, but I'm glad that he does what he does, and NB is a province that NEEDS more 'activism'. I'd just suggest doing it in a way that's guaranteed to get the most results. But that's just my opinion-not Vaughns.

What planet in cyber space are you from oh yet with noname who claims not to be Vaughn? The first thing you should do when you touch down on mother earth is get a name. Then learn to read BEFORE you write. I ain't no god damned activist. GET IT? However I am a very fierce political animal. GET IT? I am just a very pissed off Maritimer with way bigger balls than you.

Some activist you are with only half a mind to say something like this to me. Go to jail sometime in Yankee Doodleland and then come back home and tell me that crap again.
"Being imprisoned in the states is no crime in my book,"

After you figure out the nonsense that you just wrote in support of a liar. Why not get an email account and a telephone too and learn how to use them BEFORE you attack a man who understands more about what you are yapping about than you could ever dream. I have no doubt that you are clever and you may be well on your way to being just another lawyer but you cannot learn to be ethical in any law school. You must be born with the genes. It seems that you and Chucky are a couple bricks shy of that load.

On the other hand in reading some of your words about what Chucky has done I think you may be the political science student at the homeless shelter that the lady that was on Tom Young's show spoke of when I called her afterwards. Either way I don't care. i don't want to know you.
Ask you buddy Chucky sometime to share his emails from me with you if you are truly are not his buddy Vaughn. Better yet go on a mission with your mouse and go through Chuckys many blogs and figure out who he is for yourself. Then ask Vaughn if you can view the hard copy of the material he admited having BEFORE I was falsely imprisoned in 2004. Activists have a lot to learn about listening to folks before there is trouble. It seems they allow things to happen just so they can protest about it later. I was challenging the FBI etc and arguing crooked US Attorneys about other matters in Federal Court in Boston months before that nonsense in Iraq began. whereas you seem to have a love of lucre Vaughn should tell ya that in two matters I was awarded judgements by default for 32 million bucks and I laughed and told them to shove it up their arse because the judgement came from the wrong court. It is all about jurisdiction venue and justice. I cannot demand integrity of others without proving my own first. When the crooked lawyers filed motions to remove the defaults and file their answers late I did not oppose them. It so shocked the hell out of the Yankee bastards they were not long sending the Secret Service to try to take a man away who would rather argue the awful truth than take a pay off.
In my book false imprisonment is definite illegal and when I look at your writing and Chuckys I cannot forget what I was taught. There are NO degrees of honesty either you are or your are NOT. Go kiss Chucky good night. Will ya? I have had enough of both of you oh ye who may be Vaughn. I so not feel sorry that I do not believe you.(Damned for a little Damned for at lot)

One last ting before I sign off that I forgot to say. Yankee lawyers swear an oath before the Bar before they are allowed to practice law for a fee. Part of it goes something like this. "I will not delay or deny any man for lucre or malice" the politicians and lawyers I am arguing ignore their oath for lucre which far easier to understand than the malice you and Chucky wish against me. i tried to help Chucky and even gave him a computer because he whined that he did not have one. The only thing I asked in return was for him to go to Brad Green's office and give him a pile of documents and one CD in an unsealed envelope so that every one could see that there was nothing harmful inside.The liar claimed many things and slammed me six ways to Sunday while blocking my protests. I was getting even on April fools and draging him into a place where most lawyer fear to go. An ethical argument in public view. Like Tom Young on the radio he keep threatening to press the delete button when things were not going his way. Charles Leblanc is all about Charles LeBlanc no less no more.

Neil Young, wife actress Daryl Hannah surprise crowd at Victoria old growth rally

Neil Young, wife actress Daryl Hannah surprise crowd at Victoria old growth rally

Hundreds of people attended a rally for old growth protection where Young performed 2 songs

Young played acoustic guitar and harmonica, and sang two songs: Comes A Time, which has a chorus about tall trees, and his hit Heart of Gold.

Young, billed as a "special guest," was not listed as appearing at the event, where astonished protesters, many dressed as trees and wild animals, cheered wildly and sang along to Heart of Gold.

"Thank you Canada," said Young. "You know I'm only here for those trees up there and it's a beautiful, and it's a precious, sacred thing, these old trees because they show us the power of nature when we are being threatened. They show us the past and they show us our future.

Announcing surprise guest... @Neilyoung!! #United4OldGrowth

 

"That's something I hope our Canadian government and business section will recognize that this has to do with Canada," he said. "It has to do with the ages, if we are lucky enough to have ages. These trees have lasted so long they deserve Canada's respect."

Earlier this month, the B.C. government introduced new approaches to managing timber resources to protect more old-growth trees from logging.

Premier David Eby said more areas are now being deferred from logging than ever on record.

The old-growth deferral is a government program in B.C. where old-growth areas slated for logging are now deferred until a later date or not logged at all.

The logging deferral of old-growth forests is now at 2.1 million hectares, up from last spring's report of 1.7 million hectares, Eby said.

Young was introduced by his wife, actress Daryl Hannah, who said the cold weather was giving her a bit of brain freeze.

"Despite the complexities, the necessary and simple answer is do no harm,'' she said. "No further destruction. Love, support and respect your elders.

"Please lend your support to another type of elder, your fellow Canadian from a small town in Ontario."

If he was a gimmick he would have had his name used to bring in more protesters instead of just being billed as a special guest. He has been protesting these things his entire life, what is so wrong with caring about the environment?

When Neil Young and Daryl Hannah Came to Town

A couple weeks ago I wanted to let my family and friends know what was going on in my life and I tweeted that I was going to be filming with Neil Young and Daryl Hannah in Fort McMurray. I was not prepared for the reaction. My phone was immediately blowing up with media requests to find out what was going on. Reaction from people commenting on social media in the community ranged from concern to rage over how Fort McMcMurray would be portrayed by these people who have a clear environmental agenda.

A couple weeks ago I wanted to let my family and friends know what was going on in my life and I tweeted that I was going to be filming with Neil Young and Daryl Hannah in Fort McMurray. I was not prepared for the reaction. My phone was immediately blowing up with media requests to find out what was going on. Reaction from people commenting on social media in the community ranged from concern to rage over how Fort McMurray would be portrayed by these people who have a clear environmental agenda.

I refrained from commenting in the media ahead of time because I wasn't sure how much publicity they wanted and I didn't want to ruin my chances of working with these people. I agreed to an interview with Wallis Snowden at Mix 103.7 after filming was over and she presented a fair and brief synopsis of our interview to the listeners. I'd like to offer my readers a more detailed account of what transpired.

Background

I was contacted a few weeks ago by Neil's production company Shakey Pictures and asked if I would be available to shoot some aerial footage from a helicopter for Neil's documentary. I've done this kind of work in the past and was recommended by the helicopter company. The details of the project were not all that clear, the only thing I knew for sure was that the documentary was about Neil's 1959 Lincoln Continental convertible that he had a team of specialists convert into a cellulosic ethanol burning hybrid dubbed The Lincvolt.

The production company explained that this was a documentary a few years in the making and production had stalled after the film's producer, a long-time friend of Neil's named Larry Johnson, passed away suddenly in 2010. The documentary centers around The Lincvolt from its inception and development to Neil's travels with it across North America promoting the idea that we can be more conscious consumers of energy while still being bad-ass (my words). Filming was originally supposed to take place on Thursday August 28th but Neil stopped and visited his friend Daryl Hannah on the way here and she wanted to join him so they pushed the shoot back a couple days.

I was obviously concerned that this production was going to present an unfair portrait of my community so I wanted to make sure that I was able to provide them with options that presented a more balanced view of the community and the industry. To that end I had well know community cheerleader Theresa Wells and environmentally conscious oil sands development advocate Ken Chapman on standby to be available for interviews if I was able to convince the production team to hear their stories. I also arranged with Joey Hundert the CEO of Sustainival, the world's first green carnival, to accommodate Neil and the production crew should I be able to convince them to film at this carnival powered by used cooking oil. In the end there, while they were polite and curious about this picture of Fort McMurray, it wasn't on the production agenda.

Impressions

Meeting the production crew at the Chateau Nova I found them all to be friendly and professional people. Ken Chapman happened by and Neil chatted with us around his and Daryl's cars for quite some time. Neil seemed genuinely surprised and impressed with some of the green initiatives happening in the community. He seemed to know little about the oil sands industry, he'd never heard of SAGD for example. His understanding seemed to be that bitumen is mined by digging giant open pits, using tonnes of water, and creating giant tailings ponds. He was unaware of the advances that have been made.

The first song I ever practiced, perfected and played live at Paddy McSwiggins with my garage band was Rockin' In The Free World so I may be a tad biased here but I really liked Neil. Neil introduced me to his 34-year-old son who his wheel chair bound with severe Cerebral Palsy and told me about how he had been given a life expectancy of 16 years. Neil explained how lucky he felt to have been blessed with the resources needed to keep him alive this long and I admired his resolve to keep his son by his side determined to give him the opportunity to experience life to the fullest.

Daryl was a very nice lady, ever since the movie Splash I've thought so. I got the sense that she wasn't all that interested in the hearing a counter narrative or anything that might create cognitive dissonance in her judgement on the oil sands. She asked me about how scary it was shooting film out of a helicopter and asked if I was an adrenaline junkie. While the rest of us were chatting about the community and the oil sands industry she was more interested in picking sweet grass and posting her stickers around. She gave me an encouraging hug after filming and told me I did a great job, which was nice but nobody had actually seen my footage yet. That moment pretty much encapsulated my sense of her, a lady with a huge heart who makes judgements with little information.

The thing I admire most about Neil and Daryl is the fact that they are trying really hard to make a difference in this world. Daryl has been arrested for standing up for what she believes in. She is diligent about practicing what she preaches and lives off the grid generating her own energy from wind and solar and growing her own food. Not many environmentally active starlets have her integrity in this regard.

What Was Filmed


The production company chartered the chopper for a couple hours and asked me to get a list of shots. Mostly I shot the two cars driving around the highway by Syncrude and Suncor. They were essentially interested in shots of Mordor (my words) juxtaposed behind these beautiful cars. They also wanted shots of tailings ponds and industrial plants. We lucked out with a dramatic sky that had a dark rain cloud roll in over top of Syncrude while the nearby boreal forest was bathed in sunlight and blue sky, David Suzuki himself couldn't have asked Gaia for a better shot. The pilot and I also took the liberty of shooting some beautiful river valley, wetland and boreal forest shots while we had free time.

I was told that the previous day was spent with a First Nations Chief getting his story and they were planning on spending the next day with a First Nations Chief as well. The only other thing on their agenda was an interview with Dr. O'Connor in Edmonton to presumably talk about the ill health of First Nations people because of the industry upstream.

What we didn't shoot was as informative about the narrative as what we did shoot. We did not film any reclaimed land. We didn't film any new extraction operations using greener technology. We didn't film any industry experts. We didn't film Neil's diesel burning bus that his crew rode in. We didn't film the environmentally conscious community active in Fort McMurray. That stuff wasn't on the agenda.

Final Thoughts

All living things consume energy and pollute. Nature is as cruel as it is beautiful. Bacteria and viruses pollute this Earth and for the majority of our history have mercilessly put us in an early grave. Burning wood has improved our lives dramatically by allowing us to ingest more energy at less cost by cooking food and it keeps us warm. Our ability to find and harness energy has caused human life to flourish. Each energy source we innovate is not without it's detriments. Nearly 2 million people die prematurely each year in developing countries from inhaling cooking smoke, what they wouldn't give for the comparatively clean energy of coal generated electricity.

People in developing countries generally care very little about the environmental standards we care about, they are too busy trying to survive to worry about their carbon footprint or how many blooms their community gets. The good news is that the richer a country gets the more environmentally conscious it tends to get and the cleaner and more efficient its energy tends to become. This investment in clean technology requires wealth, and wealth requires energy abundance.

Neil Young himself proves this point in a number of ways. He is able to fight off the polluting secretions invading his sons lungs that would otherwise kill him if not for a fortuitous chain of events starting with the industrial revolution and all the wealth that it brought to the world that allowed a man enough free time to pursue a thing called rock stardom and afford round the clock care for his boy extending his life. His wealth also allowed him to pay a team of engineers and specialists to retrofit a classic car into a technological green marvel. His wealth allows him to pay for the energy expenditure to get cellulosic ethanol shipped from the one plant in the US that makes it to wherever his Lincvolt is. His wealth allows him to traverse the world with his entourage spreading the gospel of green. His wealth affords a helicopter to fly around and film him and that is okay. I promise you I do not mean this facetiously; getting to the cutting edge of cleaner technology creates a lot of pollution...always has. That's why I don't consider it hypocritical of Neil to preach clean energy while creating a bunch of pollution and why I'd like him to grant the rest of us the same consideration. We are conscientious adults with the same goals he has.


Hiroshima Seems Nice

One has to wonder about claims of genocide and holocaust that are thrown about so cavalierly by those with a mission to bring down the oil sands, I wonder what survivors of actual genocide must think. Neil recently stated that Fort McMurray looks like Hiroshima (I wonder if he meant Nuked Hiroshima or beautiful reclaimed Hiroshima today) and that Natives are sick and dying because of the oil sands activities. These are serious claims that paint a pretty bleak picture and seem to lack any evidence. One would simply have to look at life expectancy rates before and after the oil sands started developing in this region. Are we to believe that the First Nations people in this region have increased mortality and morbidity rates because of the oil sands development, that over a billion dollars worth of First Nation business per year has caused declining health? Seems to me that is backwards. We could also compare life expectancy in First Nation communities around the oil sands region to those of First Nations people in other less Hiroshima looking parts of Canada.

The other bit of Neil's message I take some umbrage with is his anti-Keystone XL stance. It seems a tad hypocritical to use the guns of government to cut people off from energy they want and force them to use OPEC conflict oil. Nobody is cutting Neil off from all the energy he's using and forcing him to burn bitumen, why would he do that to people who can't afford other sources of energy or who don't want to use bloody OPEC oil? In the same vein I don't want government pointing guns at land owners to force Keystone through their land. I just wish people would learn how to peacefully negotiate without constantly appealing to government to pull out guns on their behalf.

So Neil if you're reading this Keep on Rockin In The Free World! I dig your message of clean energy and I can't wait for affordable cleaner energy, one day if we extract enough oil and generate enough wealth like you we will be able to create a cleaner world and even be able to extend the lives of our sons and daughters and move on to a better energy source. If you would've looked a bit closer at the people in this community developing this resource you'd have found people of kindred spirit, we are concerned about the environment and about the health of those that live around the oil sands...this is where our children live. We want to leave this world a better place like you do and we have the energy to do just that. I challenge you to find a community of oil producers anywhere else in this world that more closely aligns with your values of stewardship and respect for this Earth and it's people. Not only do we not stone people to death, we don't even use plastic grocery bags.

Gordon Pinsent, Canadian acting icon, dead at 92

'Gordon passionately loved this country and its people, purpose, and culture to his last breath,' family says

"Gordon Pinsent's daughters Leah and Beverly, and his son Barry, would like to announce the passing of their father peacefully in sleep today with his family at his side," said a note released late Saturday, written on behalf of Pinsent's family by his son-in-law, actor Peter Keleghan.

"Gordon passionately loved this country and its people, purpose, and culture to his last breath."

The Grand Falls, N.L., native and Canadian household name had a storied acting career spanning dozens of films and TV projects over six decades, including Due South, The Red Green Show, Babar and the Adventures of Badou, The Grand Seduction and The Shipping News.

Focusing on CBC programs alone, one could add The Forest Rangers, Quentin Durgens, M.P., the original Street Legal and Republic of Doyle, among others.

In the U.S., where he lived in Los Angeles for six years, it was such TV series and movies as It Takes A Thief, Silence of the North, Young Prosecutors, Banacek, and the feature film The Thomas Crown Affair.

"My whole career has depended on the happiness that I get when asked to do something," Pinsent said in a 2010 Toronto Life interview. "Pick up the phone and say 'yes.' I do that a lot."

Comedian and actor Mark Critch, a fellow Newfoundlander, said he will miss Pinsent as a mentor, friend, hero and "giant colossus of Canadian entertainment."

Actors in Canada are following "on a path that [Pinsent] cut through a forest," Critch said.

Born on July 12, 1930, Pinsent was the youngest of six children born to Stephen Pinsent, a paper mill worker and cobbler, and his wife, Flossie.

Pinsent said he was a shy, awkward child who once suffered from rickets but found freedom in acting, starting in the 1940s at the age of 17.

In the early 1950s, Pinsent took a break from acting and joined the Canadian Army, serving for about four years. But acting was his true love.

More than 150 roles

Pinsent joined the Stratford Festival in 1962 with roles in MacbethThe Taming of the ShrewThe Tempest and Cyrano de Bergerac, and he returned to Stratford in the mid-'70s as a leading player.

He had more than 150 TV and movie acting credits to his name, with his Internet Movie Database resumé spanning from a 1957 TV movie to a cartoon voice in 2021.

A companion of the Order of Canada and a fellow of the Royal Society of Canada, Pinsent also received the Governor General's Performing Arts Award, the Earle Grey Award for lifetime achievement in television, and a star on Canada's Walk of Fame.

He won every major acting prize in the country, including the Genie for best actor in 2001's The Shipping News, based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel by Annie Proulx.

Five years later, Pinsent won best actor Genie and ACTRA awards for his internationally recognized work in Sarah Polley's Away From Her.

Canadian acting legend Gordan Pinsent, whose award-winning career spanned six decades, has died at 92. His friend, fellow actor and comedian Mark Critch said Pinsent was thoughtful, young-spirited and deeply loved by his fans and peers.

'Extraordinary' performance

In the 2016 documentary about his life, The River of My Dreams — a film where a reflective, sometimes impish Pinsent speaks in eloquent paragraphs infused with his Newfoundland accenthe says his wife, the actress Charmion King, suggested he take the role, which turned out to be the high-water mark for his career.

Canadian director Norman Jewison said in the same doc that Pinsent's performance in Away From Her of a man losing his wife (Julie Christie) to Alzheimer's disease was "extraordinary."

"It was so simple, yet so powerful and so moving," Jewison said of Pinsent. "And I think a lot of it was because you believed him."

Those types of kudos tickled the modest Pinsent.

"Now you see, I don't talk that way about myself, so I was pleased — it was just terrific," he said about similar praise at the time from English actor Daniel Day-Lewis.

Venerable Canadian actor Gordon Pinsent talks about the critically acclaimed film Away From Her.

Amid the plaudits, Pinsent had a tragedy in his personal life as the film was being released: King, his wife of 45 years, died in January 2007 after a long struggle with emphysema.

"It was something I wasn't necessarily drawing on except in the general sense of how anyone must feel at a certain time of life after spending so many years with a partner," an emotional Pinsent said then.

"It's almost impossible to grasp ... how do you prepare? Where does love go? Where do you go, the leftover?"

King and Pinsent had one child together, actress Leah Pinsent. He also had two children from an earlier marriage, Barry and Beverly.

A Renaissance man

Pinsent was also a painter, a writer, a playwright and a director. Two of his Newfoundland-set novels, The Rowdyman and John and the Missus, were turned into feature films. Pinsent starred in the former and both directed and acted in the latter. 

His memoirs, By the Way, were published in 1994.

Though he struggled with chronic pain in his later years, Pinsent remained prolific, with about 20 acting credits during the 2010s.

At age 80, he went viral on CBC's This Hour Has 22 Minutes by reading 16-year-old Justin Bieber's memoir with mock gravitas.

Pinsent reads Justin Bieber's memoir: 

And at 81, he put out an album of his own poetry set to rock music by Greg Keelor of Blue Rodeo and Travis Good of The Sadies.

In 2016, he released a short film he wrote and self-funded called Martin's Hagge, about a middle-aged writer burdened by a personified version of anxiety and depression.

He said he kept working because each new project felt like getting away with something he didn't quite deserve.

"I ran fast before they could catch me and say, 'No, no, acting is for silly people!'" he told CBC News in 2010.

Canadian actor R.H. Thomson, who has been almost as prolific as Pinsent, said in the 2016 documentary that artists have an enormous role in how a country's "cloth is woven."

"And artists like Gordon ... [have] pulled that thread back and forth, as Canada's loom has made this cloth of who we are and where we've been and where we're going to," he said.

"And that colour of Gordon Pinsent going through and through the tapestry is now inevitably part of any story of Canada for me."

Race to save Grand Manan lighthouse grows more urgent

Part of the structure's plaster ceiling is falling apart

Grand Manan's Swallowtail lighthouse, which has long been in need of repairs, has recently suffered further damage, including water damage. Part of the structure's plaster ceiling is falling apart.

Now head lighthouse keeper Ken Ingersoll said the race is on to save the structure, which could be less than a year from irreversible damage. "To lose that tower would be catastrophic," he said.

"It's one of the first things you see when you come to Grand Manan and it's the last thing you see when you leave … I don't know how many photographs are taken of Swallowtail lighthouse in the run of the year."

The lighthouse was built in 1860 and is still operational. Efforts to restore it have been ongoing for over 16 years.

Those efforts recently received a boost after the structure was named a finalist in a National Trust of Canada competition. It did not win, but some publicity was generated.

The projected cost of renovating the lighthouse and keeper's house was $479,000 before the latest damage, with $160,000 being raised so far.

Andrea Kelter, manager of the Swallowtail lighthouse reception centre and gift shop, said the lighthouse isn't just a tourist attraction but an essential part of the community.

"It is a mariner-safety feature and, for the inshore fishery, a critical mariner-safety feature," said Kelter.

"For them, it truly can be life-saving in many different circumstances."

The island has started efforts to do even more fundraising, which include online donation campaigns and a telethon.

Kelter said the loss of the lighthouse would be a huge blow to the community.

"There will be a new light tower … it will do the job," said Kelter. "What it will never do is capture the hearts and the souls and the imaginations of the people who come to Grand Manan."

Grand Manan man gets dream job at Machias Seal Island lighthouse

Ken Ingersoll did his first month-long stint on the remote island in January

Just 19 kilometres southwest of Grand Manan, the 12-hectare island has been home to a lighthouse for almost two centuries.

So, for Grand Manan's Ken Ingersoll, a four-week stint tending to the remote lighthouse was a thrill from the moment he arrived.

"One of the things I noticed when we landed on Machias [Seal Island] was how perfect everything was," Ingersoll said in an interview with Information Morning Saint John.

"Everything had a place … and I knew right then when I looked at it that … this is the place for me to be and I knew that, immediately, that it was a place that I would be part of to keep it that way, to keep it pristine."

Ingersoll has been a volunteer keeper for 15 years, looking after both Swallowtail lighthouse and Long Eddy Point lighthouse on Grand Manan.

The light station as it greeted Ken Ingersoll upon his arrival on Machias Seal Island. Ingersoll liked the 'peaceful' setting, and said the ability to thrive in the remote location is a job requirement. (Submitted by Ken Ingersoll)

In that work, he got to know some Coast Guard employees, who encouraged him to apply for a casual position on Machias Seal Island.

"They just kind of said, 'Hey man, you should apply for Machias. You'd be great out there.' So I thought about it and I applied and jumped through hoops and they called me and hired me."

Ingersoll said the psychological requirements of the job seemed to matter a lot to the Coast Guard.

"I think it's a matter, basically, of wanting and being able to work and live in isolation without any difficulty," he said.

Ingersoll said that wasn't a problem for him.

"It's pretty nice out there. It's quiet, the view is spectacular. The storms are incredible, but you have to consider, you know, we've maintained a light station there since 1832. So they really got it down pat."

Ingersoll experienced two during his January stint, with winds topping 110 km/hr.

In weather like that, he said the only thing you can do is stay inside and not put yourself at unnecessary risk.

"Going outside that night to check on anything would have been very harmful, would probably blow you off the boardwalk," he said, adding that you always know in the back of your mind that you can't call 911 if anything happens.

He said the worst thing that happened during his first month-long stint was he nearly ran out of coffee. Fortunately, a Coast Guard crew came out to replace the light in the lighthouse, and he was able to get an emergency delivery.

"Crisis averted," he said.

Essentially, the keepers are there to ensure the automated systems work correctly, and they also make weather observations for Environment Canada four times a day.

Plus, they help assert Canada's claims to the island, which is disputed by the United States government. 

Right now, Ingersoll will do three stints a year, each a month long.

He's looking forward to his next trip out in the spring, which he said will be a very different experience.

"Because you have the students from UNBSJ, they stay in the second house. And the puffins and the razor bills and the terns" arrive to nest, he said.

"So, it would be a completely different feeling island than it would have been when I was there in January."

Ingersoll said it's amazing to be one of the few people in this day and age to experience this kind of life.

"For me it's an honour, it really is, to be part of a 200-year-old light station. And there aren't many of them left, you know.

"This is really hard to find, a job as a light keeper and get paid for it, in 2023."

Florida governor signs bill giving state control of Walt Disney World district

Ron DeSantis moved to penalize company after spat over 'Don't Say Gay' law

"The corporate kingdom finally comes to an end," DeSantis said during a news event at Lake Buena Vista near Orlando.

State Republicans last year targeted Disney after it publicly clashed with DeSantis, who is widely considered to be running for president in 2024, over a law that restricts classroom instruction of gender and sexual orientation, known by its opponents as the "Don't Say Gay" measure.

In March, Disney's then-chief executive officer, Bob Chapek, publicly voiced disappointment with the bill limiting LGBTQ discussion in schools, saying he called DeSantis to express concern about the legislation becoming law.

In a move political observers viewed as retaliation, Florida lawmakers this month passed a bill, which DeSantis signed into law, that authorizes the governor to appoint five supervisors to oversee traditional municipal services, such a fire protection, public utilities, waste collection and road maintenance in the region where Disney World operates.

The quasi-government entity also has the authority to raise revenue to pay outstanding debt and cover the cost of services.

"We have a situation here that was basically indefensible from a policy perspective," DeSantis said. "How do you give one theme park its own government and then treat all the other theme parks differently? We believe that that was not good policy."

Speakers at the bill-signing ceremony included a parent who criticized Disney for speaking out against the state's education bill, saying the company, "chose the wrong side of the moral argument." Another person who identified himself as a longtime Disney theme park employee took issue with the company's policies regarding vaccinations.

District key to establishing Disney World

The new law changes the district's name from the Reedy Creek Improvement District to the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District and subjects it to various layers of state oversight.

The creation of the self-governing district was instrumental in Disney's decision to build near Orlando in the 1960s. The company had told the state it planned to build a futuristic city that would include a transit system and urban planning innovations, so it needed autonomy in building and deciding how to use the land. The futuristic city never materialized and instead morphed into a second theme park that opened in 1982.

A spokesperson for Disney did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Disney World is the largest employer in central Florida with close to 75,000 employees and drew 36.2 million visitors in 2021, according to the Themed Entertainment Association.

In taking on Disney, DeSantis furthered his reputation as a culture warrior willing to battle perceived political enemies and wield the power of state government to accomplish political goals, a strategy that is expected to continue ahead of his potential White House run.

The feud also reinforced the governor's brash, go-it-alone leadership style, penalizing a massive employer, tourism driver and political donor in the state over the company's stance on a piece of legislative policy.

DeSantis, whose book, The Courage to be Free, is coming out Tuesday, has moved in recent weeks to expand his political network through fundraisers and meetings with donors, elected officials and conservative influencers, adding to the speculation around his larger political aspirations.

The coming months will be critical to DeSantis as he builds his profile out beyond Florida. He is expected to use the coming regular legislative session, which begins next week, to bolster his conservative agenda before he announces his candidacy for president.

Federal health minister says N.B. abortion access can be 'difficult,' but is quiet on what Ottawa will do next

Jean-Yves Duclos avoids promising new steps to force province to do more

Jean-Yves Duclos told CBC News he's awaiting a study Ottawa commissioned in 2021 on barriers to access in the province.

"We know that there are cases and places where that right is more difficult to exercise and that's why we made that commitment in the campaign," he said in an interview.

"That's why we are looking at all possible ways to make sure that women in particular have access to these reproductive rights."

The province offers abortions up to 13 weeks of pregnancy in three hospitals, two in Moncton and one in Bathurst, funded by Medicare.

It refuses to fund the procedure at Fredericton's Clinic 554, a private clinic. The province says offering it at three hospitals in two cities is enough to meet demand.

Clinic manager Valerya Edelman said Ottawa has been "supportive" by commissioning the study and funding abortion-rights groups, but she's not sure if there's anything else Duclos can do.

"Health care delivery is a provincial matter … it's tricky for the federal government to get too involved in the delivery of health care.

While the building housing Clinic 554 has been sold to a new owner, the clinic is continuing to rent space and provide abortions one day each week for a $700 fee, with financial help available for some patients.

The service is vital, especially in winter when travel to Moncton or Bathurst can be a problem due to weather, Edelman said.

A 'red herring'

The Progressive Conservative government of Blaine Higgs passed legislation in December allowing for some surgeries to be performed in private clinics outside hospitals and billed to Medicare.

A private clinic in Bathurst is now doing publicly funded cataract surgeries, helping to cut down on surgical wait times in hospitals.

In 2020, Higgs said funding abortions in a private clinic would be "a slippery slope. … Does that mean that we should continue to offer more and more services in private clinics and less and less services in public institutions?"

Duclos wouldn't comment on whether the new legislation contradicts the province's refusal to fund abortions at Clinic 554.

Instead he simply noted that New Brunswick is the only province refusing to fund abortions outside hospitals.

"That raises the obvious question of accessibility to those services," he said.

"That's a question to put to the provincial government. It's also something we're very mindful of in working with the province and with community organizations to ensure that in this context women have access to that essential right."

Edelman said the legislation to allow private surgeries shows that Higgs's concerns about private clinics were "a red herring," and it's his personal views driving provincial policy.

"I'm not surprised they are expanding surgeries outside hospitals but not looking at us, at Clinic 554. I'm not surprised at all. Their interest has been always to limit abortion access, period," she said. 

Last year Duclos announced $3.5 million for two abortion-rights organizations, including Action Canada, which helps cover travel and accommodation costs for people seeking abortions.

(Adrian Wyld/The Canadian Press)

In the 2019 federal election campaign, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau promised to "ensure" the province funded abortions at private clinics such as Fredericton's Clinic 554.

Trudeau claimed in 2021 that his government had clawed back "millions" of dollars in federal health transfer payments to New Brunswick over limits on access, but the actual amount that year was $140,216.

In the lead-up to another election campaign that year, his government announced the study of abortion access in the province. 

The research project would examine gaps and barriers to the service, such as costs, transportation and discrimination and was expected to take 18 months.

Jula Hughes, a former UNB law professor, is one of the researchers on the abortion study and says it's not clear how quickly it will be published. (University of New Brunswick)

Former University of New Brunswick law professor Jula Hughes, one of the researchers on the project, said Monday that the report had been delayed, and she now expects to have it finished around June.

Hughes said it's not clear how quickly it will be published.

The Canadian Civil Liberties Association is suing the province over abortion access, arguing New Brunswick is violating the Constitution and the Canada Health Act.

The province tried in 2021 to have the case thrown out, but a judge ruled the case could go ahead.

This issue is really no business of the federal government (but apparently a private clinic is ok as long as it fits their agenda) 

Regardless, the NB government should be reconsidering their position to provide women with very limited access in the province to abortion services

And, Higgs should realize that many voters who lean toward the Conservatives are also strongly pro choice (Myself included)

It is the business of the feds to ensure the Health Act is adhered to.

Reply to Michael Cain
I'm well aware of that. It's also obvious the feds aren't sure if such is indeed the case, or they wouldn't be wasting money on another useless study (that is taking a ridiculously long time.

Brian Gallant initiated the plan to shut down Clinic 554.....he must have felt the Act was being followed. Of course, there's a difference in the way that Ottawa treats the now rare Liberal provincial governments.


Michael Cain
Reply to Don Corey
Contradicting yourself aside, the feds gave the money they held back from the province to UNB to produce the report in an effort to corroborate the need of access to the provincial government. The subject has always been a political hot potato for years. Now this government has a chance to end the issue. The sooner the government gets their nose out of the business of health care the better.

1. More doctors signing off on it, which we had until Gallant changed it.

2. No tax payer funding.

3. High school curriculum to teach about it

4. Travel out of province

Then and only then can it be considered a choice. Choice to get doctor approval, choice to pay for it, choice to travel for it, and making these choices once educated about it. How can anyone make a choice if they aren’t knowledgeable about the choice they’re making??

If that’s too difficult then of course there are other more civilized choices in 2023 like birth control pills, adoption etc

Bernard Valcourt's local First Nations connection belies his national image

Federal aboriginal affairs minister is vying for re-election in the northwestern Madawaska-Restigouche riding

RAW: Bernard Valcourt on MMIW

7 years ago
Duration 4:34
Bernard Valcourt discusses why he did not applaud a recommendation to have a report into missing and murdered indigenous women
 
For many First Nations activists and organizations, Bernard Valcourt has become the bête noire of Stephen Harper's Conservative government.

As minister of aboriginal affairs and northern development, the veteran Conservative politician has been the face of Ottawa's approach to aboriginal issues.

He took over the department in the midst of the wave of Idle No More protests. He was on the job when a sweeping education plan negotiated with First Nations fell apart.

There is politics at all levels: community, provincial, federal and it's no different within the First Nations.
- Bernard Valcourt, Conservative candidate

And in June, he was the focus of an indelible image: while others around him leapt to their feet to applaud a call for a national inquiry into murdered and missing aboriginal women, Valcourt stayed in his seat.

But in Valcourt's own backyard, where he is running again as the Conservative candidate in Madawaska-Restigouche in the Oct. 19 election, a different picture emerges — one that highlights the minister's own philosophy.

"I hear, of course, what the advocacy groups, the representative organizations, are saying and doing, but when you go meet the chiefs and councils on the ground, you hear a completely different story," Valcourt told CBC News.

"Some play political games, but most, the vast, vast majority, of the chiefs and councils that I've met with, we've made progress."

Exhibit one in Valcourt's case is his own relationship with the Madawaska Maliseet First Nation, a small First Nations band, whose reserve sits within the city limits of Edmundston, where Valcourt lives.

As minister for the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency until early 2013, and then as minister of aboriginal affairs, Valcourt has gone to bat for the Grey Rock Power Centre, a major retail and service development perched on a hill overlooking Edmundston.

The site, on the Trans-Canada Highway, includes a gas station, convenience store, Tim Horton's, and casino. A local car dealership is moving there and a new strip mall has just signed its first tenant.

In 2012, Valcourt secured $3.5 million from ACOA for road and sewer work, and more recently got another $1 million from his current department to help build the strip mall.

"He was quite helpful in pushing for the community to receive this economic development fund," says Chief Patricia Bernard.

Joanna Bernard, a former chief who's now the chief executive officer of the band's economic development corporation, says the development is vital for the community.

"It's put us in a position where we can do quite a bit of other things and subsidize other programs that are underfunded through the federal government," she says.

Joanna Bernard says the leases at the site now provide the band more revenue that what it gets from Ottawa.

That's just one example of Valcourt helping the band.

He also supported it becoming the first in Canada to opt into new legislation governing First Nations elections, helping it meet a tight deadline. The band held its election Aug. 27.

The biggest change under the new rules is that the chief and council will now serve four-year terms, instead of a two-year mandate, under the Indian Act.

Chief Bernard says that's vital to the band government's goal to attract investment.

"What businesspeople tend to look for is the stability of the government. We can also do long-term planning and that's something that's important for any economic development," she says.

A reputation for delivering

Valcourt first started working with the band when he was a federal Progressive Conservative MP from 1984 to 1993. He was defeated that year and made a comeback in 2011.

He has a reputation as a politician who delivers for his riding, and that extends to the First Nation.

"It means that when they have specific challenges that confront them, they have a member of Parliament who can work with them to address those," he says.

He also points out that the chief and council have met the deadlines of the Harper government's First Nations Financial Transparency Act, which requires them to disclose their salaries and other spending information.

While some chiefs have criticized the law, Valcourt says it gives band members "the same degree of transparency and openness that all other governments [provide] in the country" and warns them that a Liberal or NDP government would undo that.

Both Patricia and Joanna Bernard say they're not endorsing Valcourt or any other candidate in the election, and they say his good working relationship doesn't mean they agree with the Harper government's policies.

Even so, Patricia Bernard says she was sympathetic when Valcourt was criticized for remaining in his seat when everyone around him applauded the call for an inquiry into missing and murdered aboriginal women.

"It would have been nice if he could have, but I understand that he couldn't. If his boss says, 'Don't.' You don't, you know?"

Valcourt himself is unapologetic.

"I say what I mean, and I mean what I say, and I do what I say I'm going to do," he says, pointing out the government had already rejected calls for an inquiry before that moment in June.

There have been plenty of studies, so a new inquiry would cost tens of millions of dollars "to tell us what we already know," he says.

"So when Justice [Murray] Sinclair recommended — because the crowd, you know, wants this — a national inquiry, I was not going to stand up and applaud a recommendation for something we had already said we will not do.

"And I just stood my ground, as a responsible, honest politician should do, and as a responsible minister of cabinet."

'A friend, but …'

Valcourt's NDP opponent in Madawaska-Restigouche acknowledges the minister himself is well-regarded in the constituency, including with members of the Madawaska First Nation.

NDP candidate Rosaire L'Italien points to the Madawaska First Nation land on the riding map in his campaign headquarters. (Jacques Poitras/CBC)

Still, Rosaire L'Italien says many First Nations voters plan to cast ballots for the NDP.

"A lot of them say Bernard is a friend, but a lot of them don't agree with the politics of his government, the Harper government," he says.

Valcourt also makes a distinction between national and local — but from a different perspective.

"There is politics at all levels: community, provincial, federal and it's no different within the First Nations," he says.

"But what I have learned and experienced [as minister] is you can work well and accomplish a lot with these individual First Nations."

The philosophy is typical of the Harper government: bypass official gatekeepers — so-called "special interest" groups such as national native groups — to deal more directly with Canadians.

Harper himself sounded a similar note in an interview with CBC's The House last week.

The Conservative leader said he wasn't sure if the Assembly of First Nations wanted to work with him to revive his aboriginal education plan, but "there are many communities and groups of communities in this country who want to move forward with that reform."

It's not unlike how the Conservatives sometimes use social media to bypass traditional news organizations, or have opted against funding daycare programs in favour of sending money directly to parents.

While national aborigional organizations and activists may protest loudly, Valcourt says, "at the local level [chiefs and councils] are really preoccupied with the challenges their members are facing, and we have good working relationships. … Progress is being made."

Some traditional lands to return to Wolastoqey Nation, agreement signed

AV Group signs memorandum of understanding despite being named in land title claim by Wolastoqey chiefs

A New Brunswick forestry company is agreeing to transfer a parcel of land to Wolastoqey communities in the province and allow their members input into their forest management practices.

The agreement is part of a memorandum of understanding signed between the Wolastoqey Nation in New Brunswick and AV Nackawic, one of the province's largest forestry companies with operations in Nackawic and Atholville.

The Wolastoqey Nation in New Brunswick represents the Matawaskiye (Madawaska), Wotstak (Woodstock), Neqotkuk (Tobique), Bilijk (Kingsclear), Sitansisk (St. Mary's) and Welamuktok (Oromocto) First Nations, located along the Wolastoq River, also known as the St. John River.

The agreement was announced at a news conference in Fredericton Tuesday, with Sitansisk First Nation Chief Allan Polchies describing it as the first of its kind between the six nations and a large industry player.

"It is a clear signal that what we're asking of companies, of Crown corporations and the provincial government is not unreasonable, but in fact, precisely the right way to proceed into the future," Polchies said.

In 2020 the Wolastoqey Nation filed a land title claim for more than five million hectares the chiefs identify as Wolastoqey traditional lands, equating to about half of New Brunswick.

In 2021, they amended the claim to specifically name AV Group and some of the province's other large forestry companies, including J.D. Irving Ltd. and its subsidiaries, Twin Rivers Paper, Acadian Timber and H.J. Crabbe and Sons, as well as N.B. Power.

The claim has led to comments by Premier Blaine Higgs that it could lead to Indigenous people winning control of 60 per cent of the province's land, including homes and businesses. Those comments prompted backlash, with accusations that he stoked fear among the public and spread misinformation.

Largely symbolic, says chief

Matawaskiye First Nation Chief Patricia Bernard said the memorandum of understanding with AV Group doesn't change the company's status as a respondent in the title claim.

She said the claim is still in the discovery stage and while the Wolastoqey Nation is open to negotiations, there's no sign of reaching a settlement with any of the respondents.

The AV Group's mill in Nackawic is one of two in New Brunswick that process the wood harvested on land the company owns and on Crown land it leases. The company said discussions about the agreement began about two years ago.

She said the new agreement with the AV Group is largely "symbolic" and serves as an acknowledgement that First Nations deserve to have a say in how their traditional lands are developed.

"I think this is a great day and is a great opportunity for this particular company to initiate this memorandum of understanding, because it actually sets the stage for other companies to do the same," Bernard said.

Bernard said the Wolastoqey Nation in New Brunswick is not in discussions with other companies for a similar agreement.

She said the specific parcel of land to be transferred to the Wolastoqey Nation is yet to be determined.

Not about settling claim, says AV Group

Mike Legere, director of government relations with AV Group, said the memorandum wasn't signed with the intention of reaching a settlement in the title claim, but rather about improving engagement with the Wolastoqey nations.

Asked whether he thinks it could help result in a settlement, Legere said it "opens up options."

"Any time you build a relationship and that relationship improves, it opens conversations. Again, it's not the intent ... but obviously if the relationship improves, it opens up options."

Conway Elkins, director of woodlands and fibre sourcing for AV Group, said discussions about the agreement began about two years ago.

He said they were prompted in part by customers challenging the company to become more aware of how their practices impact Indigenous communities and to explore ways to build trust with them.

He said the memorandum of understanding will result in AV Group engaging with the Wolastoqey Nation on its long- and short-term forest management plans, and incorporating their knowledge into the company's operations.

"We will explore economic opportunities as it relates to forest management," Elkins said. "We will work to truly define co-management and what co-decision making means."

Ex-MP Bernard Valcourt pleads not guilty to obstructing, resisting police

Former federal minister’s trial will be handled by out-of-province judge and prosecutor

One of northwest New Brunswick's best-known politicians has pleaded not guilty to charges of obstructing and resisting police.

Bernard Valcourt, a former MP who was a cabinet minister in the governments of prime ministers Brian Mulroney, Kim Campbell and Stephen Harper, did not appear in court Tuesday to enter the plea himself.

Instead lawyer Shawn Beaulieu entered the pleas.

It's not clear from the charges what exactly Valcourt is accused of doing. 

According to information filed in court, Valcourt violated Section 129 of the Criminal Code on Oct. 4, 2022, when he "voluntarily obstructed" two Edmundston city police officers and "resisted" them as they were trying to do their work. 

The Crown is seeking a summary conviction that would carry no jail time.

Provincial court judge Sebastien Michaud scheduled a two-day trial for Sept. 13-14 in Edmundston but said he will not hear the case himself. 

In a sign of Valcourt's high profile in the area, both the trial judge and the Crown prosecutor will be from outside the province.

A prosecutor from Quebec, Liliane Laforest, appeared for the Crown on Tuesday.

Michaud said the court was opting for an out-of-province judge to avoid any perception of a conflict.

Controversial comments

Valcourt had two stints as a federal MP, first from 1984 to 1993 as the MP for Madawaska-Victoria and then from 2011 to 2015 as MP for Madawaska-Restigouche.

Between those two periods, he was leader of the New Brunswick Progressive Conservative party, leading the party to defeat in the 1995 provincial election.

He was a senior minister in the Mulroney, Campbell and Harper governments. He resigned from the Mulroney cabinet in 1989 after pleading guilty following a drunk-driving accident but was reappointed in 1990.

His personal popularity in the region was always high, with a walking bridge over the Madawaska River named in his honour.

But in 2021 some local residents launched a petition to remove his name from the bridge after he accused media organizations of using a local doctor to feed a "campaign of terrorizing the public" about COVID-19.

In a Facebook post, he called the doctor's comments about conditions at the Edmundston Regional Hospital "the most irresponsible and gratuitous statement I've heard during the campaign of terror being fed by governments."

Valcourt deleted his social media accounts in response after the backlash to his comments.

"Society has reached the point where you don't have the right to say what you think," he told CBC News at the time.

$15M announced for more work on Saint John Harbour Bridge

Ottawa, N.B. each spending more that $7 million for final two phases, end of construction expected in 2026

The funding needed or the third phase of the Harbour Bridge improvement project in Saint John has been secured.

And with just three months of respite from traffic delays and lane closures for the bridge, construction is expected to start up again in April.

On Tuesday, Transport Minister Omar Alghabra said the federal government is contributing $7.3 million for the last two phases of the bridge project, which is expected to end in 2026. 

He also announced up to $2.8 million to allow expansion of Canada Border Services Agency operations at the port to accommodate the number of container ships coming through the port.

Ship and truck traffic both increase

The volume of ships has tripled since 2016, which means the number of trucks and the volume of traffic on the bridge has also increased, Alghabra said, making its rehabilitation project that much more important.

"These improvements will extend the life of the bridge and ensure the steady flow of goods between Saint John, Halifax and the U.S. state of Maine," he said at a news conference in Saint John.

The bridge was built in 1968. Since 2021, lanes have been reduced, and the bridge sometimes totally closed, during the spring, summer and fall months while work continued.

Speaking at the announcement on behalf of Transportation Minister Jeff Carr was Social Development Minister Dorothy Shephard, who said the province will also spend $7.7 million for the remaining two phases.

Shepherd said she understands the traffic difficulties.

"We want to thank everyone for their patience as the work that goes on the Harbour Bridge happens. It's not always convenient, but it's so necessary and  it's vital to the life of the bridge."

The delays are made worse by drivers not zipper merging. Last year, the province added informational videos and graphics to increase awareness of the importance of the manoeuvre.

11 months ago
Duration 0:34
The province wants New Brunswick drivers to understand — and use — the zipper merge. This video will be part of its campaign to demystify the misunderstood manoeuvre.

The $26.4-million project involves removing existing asphalt, eliminating several expansion joints by installing continuous link slabs, replacing remaining expansion joints, new waterproofing and new asphalt.

Each year, until 2024, the bridge will be reduced to two lanes from early April until late November.

Construction delays in 2022 meant repaving went on until the middle of December. 

MP Wayne Long said it's up to the province to decide timelines and plan alternate routes. People can take the Reversing Falls Bridge if they want to avoid the construction, but that bridge needs work as well.

Port expansion continues

Port Saint John vice-president Paula Copeland said that since 2016, when the federal government announced the $205 million port modernization project, the port has gone from a "small" classification, to large.

"We jumped up to the big leagues," she said.

Since volume is expected to continue to grow, more border officers are required to inspect the containers coming in, she said. To make room for a larger office for these operations, the Saint John Port Authority is spending $2.8 million.

That, as well as the other $2.8 million from the federal government, means the port will have $5.6 million to work with.

Copeland did not give a timeline for the port construction project. She said it will add construction and Border Services jobs to the city.

Since Trudeau got in the economy has been expanding greatly . These investments in the port of St.John will be a major benefit to everybody in NB. This federal government has put many policies in place to keep the economy expanding even with the Trump fiasco and the pandemic crises . There is why the unemployment rate is at historic lows.

Now I will sit back and wait for the fun comments.

another NB project that CONSTANTLY needs major fixing on a yearly basis. it's a money pit that will never be right like Point Lepreau. they should just permanently keep it to one lane each way so it doesn't inconvenience the construction workers.

I am sure JT is a little concerned with the great job Higgs has been doing here in NB and that in the next election maybe some stop blindly voting for him simply because of the party he represents and tired of the scandals, constant deficits, massive debt explosion, wasted money, and raising taxes.

Are you not able to read, Higgs gov't is matching funding on the bridge. And it is part of the federal govt's job to fund projects, and no, not just in Quebec. Good to see JT realizes there are places outside of northern NB. 
 
Maybe JT has tracked down some of those CERB checks he was giving to anyone who asked, 3 or 4 billion would certainly go a long way to helping many areas.

Feds to give $12.5M to Port of Belledune for new conveyor system

Port CEO expects the work will be completed within 2 years

The $25 million project will create a "dry bulk conveyor loop," connecting the port's current conveyor systems with the deep-water terminal and the staging area, according to a news release from Transport Canada.

Caron said the rest of the $25 million required for the project will be split, with around $6 million coming from private sector investors and a combined $6-7 million from the port and the province.

He said these conveyor systems will be able to connect directly to large vessels and unload or load dry goods in a more efficient way.

This project is the second one for the port under the National Trade Corridors Fund in the last four years, said Caron. He said it is currently finishing up a $35 million expansion to be completed in the spring. (Jacques Poitras/CBC)

While the systems will make the port more effective from an economic standpoint, said Caron, they will also reduce greenhouse gasses.

In the past, Caron said materials would need to be unloaded from the vessels, reloaded onto large trucks, dumped in a storage facility and then shipped out once more using that same equipment.

"So there's a lot of efficiencies in using these conveyor systems because they're able to handle a lot more material. But at the same time, you know, we're reducing our footprint, our carbon footprint, as well," said Caron.

Caron said the Port of Belledune currently handles around 27 different types of dry product, including silica sand, wood pellets and petroleum coke.

The project will also see the renovation of existing storage and the building a new warehouse and transfer tower, said the release.

This project is the second one for Belledune under the National Trade Corridors Fund in the last four years, said Caron.

He said it is currently finishing up a $35 million expansion to be completed in the spring, which is when the planning process for the conveyor project will begin.

Caron said he hopes to be "breaking ground" by fall and he expects the work to be done within two years.

4 N.B. federal ridings to watch in the 2015 election

Saint John, Moncton-Riverview-Dieppe, Acadie-Bathurst and Madawaska-Restigouche are offering interesting races

The Conservatives won eight of New Brunswick's 10 seats in the last federal election, at the expense of crumbling Liberal support and a stronger-than-normal NDP vote.

While Harper's Tories can still reap some of the benefits that come with incumbency, the party is also dealing with the fallout from unpopular decisions, such as reforms to the Employment Insurance program, a moribund economy and national polls that are showing a tight three-way race.

With roughly six weeks to go before Canadians head to the polls on Oct. 19, there are several races that could swing in favour of any of the three main political parties.

Moncton-Riverview-Dieppe

Conservative Robert Goguen unseated Liberal Brian Murphy in the closest race in the province in 2011.

Goguen, who was a virtual political unknown at the time, squeaked out a win, earning 35.7 per cent of the vote. But the story behind Goguen's victory wasn't as much the strength of the Tory vote, which held roughly the same from the 2008 election.

The Liberal vote in the riding evaporated and the NDP saw a surge in support.

Murphy, a former Moncton mayor, earned 31.2 per cent of the vote, a drop of nearly eight per cent from 2008.

The NDP finished closely behind Murphy with 28.8 per cent of the vote, a rise of 12.5 per cent from the previous campaign.

Moncton had been a safe Liberal seat after electing the party reliably for nearly 20 years, starting in 1993.

Goguen kept a relatively low profile after the election but he found himself facing tough questions in the last two years. The Tory MP ducked questions about the Harper government's controversial EI reforms in 2013 and then downplayed their potential impact.

He also sparked a national controversy when he asked an awkward question during a committee hearing that compared a woman's gang rape to the importance of freedom of expression. Goguen also seemed out of step from the Conservative government on the funding for the new downtown sports and entertainment centre when cabinet ministers refused to confirm the federal assistance.

Goguen's re-election campaign will hinge on trying to cling to the 35 per cent of Tory vote the riding has held in the last two elections and hope the Liberals and NDP continue to fracture the vote.

The Liberals are running Ginette Petitpas Taylor, a former chair of the New Brunswick Advisory Council on the Status of Women, in the riding. Petitpas Taylor easily defeated Moncton Mayor George LeBlanc for the Liberal nomination in March.

After her victory, Petitpas Taylor said she wanted to be a "people-oriented" MP, a similar refrain to the riding's former, long-time Liberal MP Claudette Bradshaw.

The NDP is hoping Luc LeBlanc will be able to build on the party's progress and wrestle the seat away from the Conservatives.

LeBlanc is a university professor in Moncton.

The Greens are running Luc Melanson.

Madawaska-Restigouche

Bernard Valcourt's return to federal politics in 2011 also came at the expense of a disappearing Liberal vote.

Valcourt, who represented the northwestern for Brian Mulroney's Progressive Conservatives between 1984 and 1993, won the riding with 40.6 per cent of the vote, an increase of 7.4 per cent based on the Tory support in 2008.

Jean-Claude D'Amours, the incumbent Liberal, earned 35.1 per cent of the vote, but his share of the plummeted by 12.2 per cent.

The NDP finished a distant third with 18.7 per cent in 2011.

Valcourt has lived up to some of the hype that came with his campaign. He was elevated to cabinet and is the minister of aboriginal affairs.

That high profile in the Harper government could backfire on Valcourt, who may have to answer questions about contentious policies, particularly the changes to the EI program.

Valcourt's re-election campaign will also hinge on whether he can hold onto his support in the face of a strong NDP presence and the potential of a renewed Liberal vote.

In the 2014 provincial election, the Liberals won all but one of the ridings in what constitutes the federal Madawaska-Restigouche riding.

The NDP is hoping its popularity in Quebec could spread across the border in northwestern New Brunswick. The party has also lured Rosaire L'Italien, a former Radio-Canada journalist, to run in the riding as a star candidate.

NDP Leader Tom Mulcair made a pre-campaign appearance in northern New Brunswick, lending his support to his candidates and in the hope of seeing NDP inroads in the area.

Acadie-Bathurst

New Brunswick politics saw one of its giants fade into retirement this year when long-time NDP MP Yvon Godin announced he was not running in this election.

Godin's departure meant the northeastern riding that has been a rock solid NDP seat since 1997, when he knocked off high-profile Liberal cabinet minister Doug Young, was put into play.

The question immediately became: was Acadie-Bathurst a NDP riding or simply an Yvon Godin riding?

The Liberals would be the most obvious beneficiary of Godin's retirement.

Until Godin won the riding in 1997, the Liberals had lost the riding only twice (1952-53 and 1984-1988) since 1900.

The Liberals also hold every provincial seat that the federal Acadie-Bathurst riding touches, including cabinet ministers such as Serge Rousselle, Denis Landry and Brian Kenny.

The Liberals are running Serge Cormier in the riding. Cormier's path to unseating the NDP is steep.

Godin won the riding with 69.6 per cent of the vote in 2008 and roughly 25,000 votes ahead of the second-place finisher, Conservative Louis Robichaud.

Robichaud is running again for the Conservatives.

The NDP, meanwhile, are hoping to replace the experience of Yvon Godin with the youth of Jason Godin.

Godin is the mayor of the small northeastern community of Maisonnette. He won the mayor's job in the 2012 municipal election when he was 19 years old.

Now he has his sights set on a seat in the House of Commons and holding the New Brunswick beachhead for the NDP.

Saint John-Rothesay

An interesting test to the Conservative strength in the region could come in Saint John.

The riding has elected Rodney Weston, a former provincial cabinet minister, in the last two elections but there are signs of NDP strength in the southern New Brunswick riding.

Weston first won the riding since 2008, when he narrowly defeated Liberal Paul Zed by fewer than 500 votes.

Since getting elected, Weston has been involved in negotiating an agreement to have the tolls removed from the Harbour Bridge and, more recently, a $68-million federal investment in the local port.

Despite those major federal investments, Weston has kept a relatively low profile in federal politics.

Weston easily carried the southern New Brunswick riding in 2011 with 49.7 per cent of the vote, as he managed to grow his share of the popular vote by 10 per cent. But the results also exposed a potential liability for the party.

The Liberal vote was decimated. The party only managed to win 16 per cent of the vote and finished a distant third.

NDP candidate Rob Moir, a professor at the University of New Brunswick in Saint John, finished in second place with 30.6 per cent of the vote, an increase of 14.7 per cent of the vote from 2008.

The NDP campaign benefited from an appearance from then federal leader Jack Layton.

This time around, the Liberals have nominated Wayne Long, a well-known businessperson and the president of the Saint John Sea Dogs.

However, the Liberals have continued to struggle in Saint John. The provincial Liberals hold only one seat in the city and another on the city's periphery.

Provincially, the Liberal stance against shale gas did not play well in southern New Brunswick. And federally, Long had to distance himself from comments made by his federal leader, Justin Trudeau, about the proposed Energy East pipeline project, which is very popular in the area.

While the NDP had a strong showing in 2011, the party has been slow out of the gate in 2015.

AJ Griffin was acclaimed as the NDP's candidate in mid-August, months after the Liberals had Long in place. Griffin ran provincially in Quispamsis, placing in third position.

The 2011 results in Saint John show the riding is willing to vote for the NDP and recent national polls have indicated the party is popular.

Saint John will be one of the races to watch on Oct. 19 to see if the party can breakthrough in southern New Brunswick.

As a journalist, Daniel McHardie is supposed to be objective. Here we have four ridings that he has seemingly picked out of a hat and determined that they are up for grabs in the election. Well, of course, all ridings are up for grabs and yes some, for various reasons, could go against 'tradition'. However, without a quote from one single source in this entire story, we are left to take McHardie's word for it. Hardly objective journalism. Hardly journalism at all.

@StrictlyFacts Why would I care if he focused on the ones where Cons are going to sweat? I have no problem with focusing on interesting ridings but I do not believe McHardie has the knowledge or experience to be offering up his opinion in this manner. What would it have taken to call up a couple of political scientists who do this kind of analysis for a living? It would then, at least, be somewhat more credible.

MCC Day 49 – Another Panel Discussion on Mass Casualties, IPV, GBV and Family Violence

327 views
Jul 18, 2022
663 subscribers
After the drama of last week, which concluded with the (unsatisfactory) appearance of Lisa Banfield, the MCC has turned back to the monotony of further discussion panels for the week ahead, with an interlude tomorrow to hear from a police witness and examine Gabriel Wortman’s “financial misdealings”. The focus of today’s “roundtable” was “Mass Casualties, IPV, GBV and Family Violence: Exploring the Connections”. 
 
Most of what was discussed today has been covered in previous discussions on domestic, gender-based, and family violence. Generally, the panelists support treating this violence as a something akin to a public health response, as opposed to private matters. This leads to recommendations to have more resources dedicated to housing, counseling, and financial supports, as well as a shift in public attitudes towards victims of violence. 
 
As has been the case with other panel discussions and expert witnesses, a viewer who may have somehow stumbled upon this discussion would have had difficulty figuring out that it was being held in the context of an inquiry into a specific mass shooting. Certainly, there was no reference to Gabriel Wortman, Lisa Banfied, or any other individuals involved in the events of the April 18-19, 2020 mass casualty events. 
 
It raises questions as to the role of the Commissioners, and the use of the limited time allotted to the MCC. In a civil trial, where an issue arises that might be beyond the expected knowledge or intuitive abilities of the presiding judge, an expert (or, often, two competing experts) may be brought in to shed some light on the matter, after which the presiding judge uses their analytical skills to make a determination about the specific situation before them. 
 
Here, there have been over a dozen experts who have been speaking about the issues around domestic and intimate partner violence, who have seemingly been trying to cover the entire possible spectrum of issues on those topics, regardless of whether there is a connection to the events of the mass casualty being studied. 
 
The presumption behind the heavy volume of expertise on these issues of domestic violence seems to be that it is so unintuitive that these three Commissioners could not possibly come to their own conclusions, and require this high level of guidance in order to understand what is happening, and what needs to happen. That strikes me as a very low level of expectations to have for the three, supposedly highly qualified, Commissioners. 
 
The other possibility is that the time spent is seen to be somehow valuable in educating the public on issues of domestic and intimate partner violence, and that this will help address the identified issues around public attitudes around such violence. If that is the goal, the low level of public engagement on days were these panels have been featured would suggest it was an ill-conceived objective. 
 
There is limited time for the MCC to do it’s work and prepare a report with persuasive recommendations. Each day that is used for a discussion panel to aid the Commissioners or educate the public is a day that is not used to examine witnesses or deal with issues such as cross-border smuggling or criminal intelligence capabilities. These are all choices that the MCC is making. 
 
Tomorrow will be more relevant. There will be a witness, Cst. Troy Maxwell, who was identified as the officer to whom Brenda Forbes spoke regarding Lisa Banfield and Wortman’s ownership of illegal firearms. There will also be a presentation on Wortman’s financial misdealings. It will be interesting to see if there is a discussion of his connections to illegal activities, or whether it will be limited to cash dealings with denturist clients.

After reading the news this weekend about Nova Scotia LIEbranos I did
the lawyers Tilly Pillay and Adam Rodgers a favour told their
assistants I would be publishing these emails etc

Tilly Pillay is not in her office this week and things went as far as
they always do whenever I call or email her very questionable Law
Society Here hoping Adam Rodgers finally acts with some semblance of
Integrity. However after all this time I am not betting on it.

>> David Raymond Amos Versus The Crown T-1557-15
>>
>> 81.  The Plaintiff states that matters of harassment that the police
>> refuse to investigate would have entered the realm of ridiculous in
>> 2012 if the reasons behind the suicides of teenagers did not become
>> well known by the corporate media. In the summer of 2012 a new member
>> of the FPS who as a former member of the EPS had inspired a lawsuit
>> for beating a client in Edmonton called the Plaintiff and accused him
>> of something he could not do even if he wanted to while he was arguing
>> many lawyers byway of emails about a matter concerning cyber stalking
>> that was before the SCC.  The member of the FPF accused the Plaintiff
>> of calling the boss of Bullying Canada thirty times. At that time his
>> MagicJack account had been hacked and although he could receive
>> incoming calls, the Plaintiff could not call out to anyone. The
>> Plaintiff freely sent the FPF his telephone logs sourced from
>> MagicJack after his account restored without the Crown having to issue
>> a warrant to see his telephone records. He asked the FPF and the RCMP
>> where did the records of his phone calls to and from the FPF and the
>> RCMP go if his account had not been hacked. The police never
>> responded. Years later a Troll sent Dean Roger Ray a message through
>> YouTube providing info about the Plaintiff’s MagicJack account with
>> the correct password. Dean Roger Ray promptly posted two videos in
>> YouTube clearly displaying the blatant violation of privacy likely to
>> protect himself from the crime. The Plaintiff quickly pointed out the
>> videos to the RCMP and they refused to investigate as usual. At about
>> the same point in time the Plaintiff noticed that the CBC had
>> published a record of a access to information requests. On the list of
>> requests he saw his name along with several employees of CBC and the
>> boss of Bullying Canada. The Plaintiff called the CBC to make
>> inquiries about what he saw published on the Internet. CBC told him it
>> was none of his business and advised him if he thought his rights had
>> been offended to file a complaint. It appears the Plaintiff that
>> employees of CBC like other questionable Crown Corporations such as
>> the RCMP rely on their attorneys far too much to defend them from
>> litigation they invite from citizens they purportedly serve. The
>> employees of CBC named within the aforementioned and the CBC Legal
>> Dept. are very familiar with the Plaintiff and of the Crown barring
>> him from legislative properties while he running for public office.
>>
>> 82.  The Plaintiff states that any politician or police officer should
>> have seen enough of Barry Winter’s WordPress blog by June 22, 2015
>> particularly after the very unnecessary demise of two men in Alberta
>> because of the incompetence of the EPS. Barry Winters was blogging
>> about the EPS using battering ram in order to execute a warrant for a
>> 250 dollar bylaw offence at the same time Professor Kris Wells
>> revealed in a televised interview that the EPS member who was killed
>> was the one investigating the cyber harassment of him. It was obvious
>> why the police and politicians ignored all the death threats, sexual
>> harassment, cyberbullying and hate speech of a proud Zionist who
>> claimed to be a former CF officer who now working for the Department
>> of National Defence (DND). It is well known that no politician in
>> Canada is allowed to sit in Parliament as a member of the major
>> parties unless they support Israel. Since 2002 the Plaintiff made it
>> well known that he does not support Israeli actions and was against
>> the American plan to make war on Iraq. On Aril 1, 2003 within two
>> weeks of the beginning of the War on Iraq, the US Secret Service
>> threatened to practice extraordinary rendition because false
>> allegations of a Presidential threat were made against him by an
>> American court. However, the Americans and the Crown cannot deny that
>> what he said in two courts on April 1, 2003 because he published the
>> recordings of what was truly said as soon as he got the court tapes.
>> The RCMP knows those words can still be heard on the Internet today.
>> In 2009, the Plaintiff began to complain of Barry Winters about
>> something far more important to Canada as nation because of Winters’
>> bragging of being one of 24 CF officers who assisted the Americans in
>> the planning the War on Iraq in 2002. In the Plaintiff’s humble
>> opinion the mandate of the DND is Defence not Attack. He is not so
>> naive to think that such plans of war do not occur but if Barry
>> Winters was in fact one of the CF officers who did so then he broke
>> his oath to the Crown the instant he bragged of it in his blog. If
>> Winters was never an officer in the CF then he broke the law by
>> impersonating an officer. The Plaintiff downloaded the emails of the
>> Privy Council about Wikileaks. The bragging of Barry Winters should
>> have been investigated in 2009 before CBC reported that documents
>> released by WikiLeaks supported his information about Canadian
>> involvement in the War on Iraq.
>>
>> 83.  The Plaintiff states that now that Canada is involved in more war

>> When I was still in Canadian Forces then Prime Minister Jean Chretien

>> The Canadian government told our amerkan cousins that we would not

>> What Justin Trudeau and the Liberals don’t tell you now, is that then

>> What David Amos and the rest of the ignorant, uneducated, and babbling

>> less than 75 special operations troops, and what is known by planners
>> as a “six pac cell” of fighter aircraft is NOT the same as a

>>
>> The Canadian Government or The Crown unlike our amerkan cousins have
>> the “constitutional authority” to commit the Canadian nation to war.
>> That has been recently clearly articulated to the Canadian public by

>> remove “confidence” in The Crown’s Government in a “vote of

>> limited Canadian deployment to the Middle East.
>>
>> President George Bush was quite correct after 911 and the terror
>> attacks in New York; that the Taliban “occupied” and “failed state”
>> Afghanistan was the source of logistical support, command and control,
>> and training for the Al Quaeda war of terror against the world. The
>> initial defeat, and removal from control of Afghanistan was vital and
>> essential for the security and tranquility of the developed world. An
>> ISIS “caliphate,” in the Middle East, no matter how small, is a clear

>>
>> Justin, Trudeau “the younger” is reprising the time “honoured” liberal

Why lawyers for N.S. mass shooter's spouse say her case should prompt change within RCMP

Lawyers hope the upcoming inquiry report addresses how police treat victims of domestic violence

WARNING: This story contains distressing details of violence and intimate-partner violence.

When Lisa Banfield first met the RCMP investigator assigned to interview her, she was lying in a hospital bed with a bruised body, a fractured rib and spine.

"She was having a hard time just moving several inches in the bed, so she was in pain," Staff Sgt. Greg Vardy would later say in an interview with the public inquiry tasked with investigating one of the country's deadliest mass shootings.

It was the afternoon of April 20, 2020, when the two first spoke. Banfield was recovering at the Colchester East Hants Health Centre in Truro, N.S., with her sister at her side. Her injuries had been inflicted by her common-law partner, Gabriel Wortman, with whom she had been locked in an abusive relationship for 19 years.

She was Wortman's first victim in his violent attack. But, as Vardy revealed to Banfield while taking her statement that day, she was far from the last. 

Her partner had killed 22 people, including a pregnant woman, in a shooting rampage that started in Portapique, N.S., on the night of April 18, 2020 and spanned five communities. Vardy told her the violence ended 13 hours later when police shot and killed Wortman.

"Imagine learning all those things at the same time on that sort of platform. And while you're being told this information, you're being asked to give more and help and do whatever you can. Of course you're going to do that," said Jessica Zita, one of Banfield's lawyers.

"That was the vein in which she first encountered the officers, who were nothing but cordial, kind and respectful to her and her family."

Banfield and her lawyers now allege that encounter with RCMP sparked eight months of manipulation. They claim police officers used Banfield's vulnerable state as a victim to gather information they would need to eventually charge her criminally, without making it clear she was under investigation or that she could consult her lawyer. 

Banfield hasn't done a media interview since the mass shooting. She has only answered questions for police, her own lawyers and the public inquiry, the Mass Casualty Commission. Her legal team is speaking with CBC News for the first time since it outlined concerns about police actions in its final submissions in September.

Public hearings ended last fall after 230 witnesses helped the inquiry examine how Wortman was able to obtain illegal guns in the U.S. and remain undetected during his shooting rampage as he masqueraded as a police officer. Part of the inquiry's mandate is also focused on the police response and the role of gender-based and intimate partner violence.

Awaiting commission's report

Banfield's legal team is hoping the Mass Casualty Commission's final report, due to be released on March 30, addresses what can be learned from her experience — including how police should treat victims of domestic violence. 

"Deception is probably the best word to describe, in simple terms, how I think she was treated," Zita said.

Eight months after meeting the RCMP in her hospital room, Banfield, her brother James and brother-in-law Brian Brewster were charged for supplying ammunition to Wortman. At the time, RCMP said none of those charged knew about Wortman's intentions.

All charges were withdrawn last summer after the trio completed restorative justice, meaning they didn't face a trial and have no criminal record.

But Banfield hinted at the impact the criminal charges had on her when she testified at the Mass Casualty Commission in July 2022.

"Lots of people that I don't know have reached out and supported me until I got the charges," she said. "And then it stopped."

According to the Transition House Association of Nova Scotia, an umbrella group focused on preventing violence against women, Banfield has been unfairly blamed for her partner's crimes. 

"It was really unfortunate [RCMP] chose to charge her. They sent a very clear message to victims of domestic violence that they don't consider them real victims," said James Goodwin, a lawyer for the association.

The association expects the Mass Casualty Commission will address how Banfield was treated in its upcoming report.

"I think the commission will completely exonerate her, and find her to just have been a victim," said Goodwin.

Victim. Witness. Suspect.

On the night of the Portapique attack, Wortman dragged Banfield through the dirt in the dark, kicked and handcuffed her, then locked her in his replica police car. She escaped through the car window and ran into the woods where she hid under a tree overnight, according to interviews she provided to police and the public inquiry.

The public inquiry later heard how, after nearly two decades of extreme physical and psychological abuse, Banfield had gone into survival mode. She first shared detailed examples of that abuse with Vardy, a veteran RCMP officer of 30 years, over the course of three interviews in the spring and summer of 2020.

Vardy told the Mass Casualty Commission he was the lead interviewing expert for the Nova Scotia RCMP in April 2020, teaching other officers best practices and techniques. He was tasked with getting information from Banfield following the mass shooting.

He confirmed to the inquiry in July 2022 that Banfield was considered a witness in the early days of the police investigation. He also told Zita's boss, James Lockyer, a partner at the Toronto law firm Lockyer Zaduk Zeeh, during a phone call on April 21, 2020, that Banfield was not a suspect. 

Lockyer expressed concern to Vardy during the call that his client would become the target of an investigation. That's according to an email Lockyer sent to Nova Scotia crown prosecutors nearly a year later, on April 8, 2021.

"Mr. Vardy told me that Lisa was 'a victim.' She 'was in no jeopardy' and if there had been any thought of wrongdoing on her part, the police would have acted accordingly, and given all her necessary warnings and rights and immediate access to counsel," Lockyer wrote.

Lockyer has said he expressed concern to an RCMP investigator shortly after the shootings that his client would become the target of an investigation. (CBC)

Vardy responded on April 28, 2021. In an email to the crown, he said he never spoke to Lockyer about "jeopardy for the future, if that is what he is indicating."

He also refuted telling Lockyer he would notify him if Banfield's status changed in the investigation.

"This is not something I would do or say. In my almost 30 years of policing, I have never told a lawyer I would call them back if something changed," Vardy wrote in his email.

But Banfield's status did change in the weeks that followed, after RCMP learned her brother and brother-in-law bought ammunition for Wortman at her request. That's when her lawyers say she became a suspect and not just a victim or witness — a point they argue was never made clear to Banfield.

"I treated her with the utmost respect and dignity. And I still, if I were to see her today, I would treat her the exact same way. But now, I understand how she feels probably now," Vardy said in his interview with the commission.

"I don't make decisions about laying a charge."

Malicious prosecution lawsuit

Last November, Banfield filed a lawsuit against the federal and provincial governments as well as the RCMP, alleging malicious prosecution. In her statement of claim, Banfield argues she was charged because the RCMP wanted to deflect attention from mistakes police had made in responding to the killings and the subsequent investigation. 

The federal government filed a statement of defence on Jan. 31 rejecting those claims.

"The RCMP made the decision to lay the criminal charge against the plaintiff after determining that there were reasonable and probable grounds to believe she committed the offence and that laying the charge was in the public interest," said Patricia MacPhee, a lawyer for the federal Department of Justice.

Two men in Maine who helped Wortman obtain some of the guns he used during the rampage have never been charged.

Zita's firm is not involved in the lawsuit. However, she continues to support Banfield and her family as they wait for the inquiry to release its report. 

"At the time, while this was happening, while she was being interviewed, [RCMP] took great care to make sure that she felt comfortable," Zita said.

"But obviously now we know in hindsight those intentions might not have been so pure."

Need to call a lawyer?

During a six-hour interview at RCMP headquarters in Dartmouth, N.S., on April 28, 2020, Vardy told Banfield, "this is about you wanting to speak to me and assist the investigation, right?" 

He then said, "Whatever you say can be used as evidence, I said that to you and that's what I want you to understand."

When Banfield asked Vardy if she needed a lawyer, he replied, "No, I'm saying to you that this is, these are your rights."

He proceeded to tell her that if she helped Wortman bring guns and ammunition into Canada across the U.S. border, she could be charged.

Banfield did not say anything incriminating during that interview.

Bruce Pitt-Payne, a retired RCMP member who now runs an investigation and interviewing consulting firm, said Vardy didn't have an "obligation" to say that Banfield could call a lawyer because she wasn't being detained.

"But when she asks, I think in a spirit of fairness, then yes, many police officers would have said 'Yes, you can,'" said Pitt-Payne.

In its statement of defence to Banfield's lawsuit, the federal government said "there was no duty on the RCMP to inform the plaintiff of her right to counsel."

Caution questioned

Vardy told the public inquiry he cautioned Banfield on July 28, 2020, at RCMP headquarters. Transcripts from that interview show that he told Banfield she was free to leave at any time and the doors were unlocked.

"I think you know how I've treated you since April," said Vardy. "Obviously I would get up and take you out, right. So basically, whatever you do say can be used as evidence."

It was during that interview Banfield disclosed her involvement in the transfer of ammunition within Canada.

Pitt-Payne said it was a "soft" caution that could have been worded more explicitly to let Banfield know she was under investigation, rather than simply helping police gather evidence.

"It wasn't 'you are a suspect' or 'you are under investigation.' It was less wordy and less conclusive than that. So the argument would be that she didn't understand it because it wasn't given the complete, full way that the court would expect it for a traumatized person," said Pitt-Payne.

Zita agrees the language should have been more clear.

"She would not have left that interview knowing that she was under criminal investigation. And that's what a caution is supposed to tell someone who is under investigation," she said.

"He made a reference to, I suppose, the caution that he gave previously.... But the law says that any time criminal jeopardy has changed and the circumstances in which you find yourself in a criminal investigation have changed, you have to be cautioned again. You have to be warned again."

Zita argues that did not happen during the July interview.

Banfield later co-operated in a re-enactment video with RCMP in Portapique in October 2020 — just weeks before she was criminally charged. Zita said that demonstrates her client's willingness to help.

"The fact that Lisa, at that time, unbeknownst to no one else other than the police, was also under criminal investigation … that's no situation that any right-minded citizen would want to find themselves in," she said.

In their final written submission to the public inquiry, Zita and Lockyer described Banfield's case as the "antithesis of how victims of domestic violence should be handled by the authorities." 

"She was re-victimized by the authorities," they wrote. "She already had extreme feelings of guilt and the charges magnified them. She did not know of the police [and Crown] intentions until she was charged in December and, once charged, on counsel's advice she was silenced from that time forward."

'Case study' for police

Kerri Froc, an associate professor in the University of New Brunswick's law faculty, said based on evidence presented to the public inquiry, it's clear Banfield was a victim of coercive control, which is defined as behaviours that manipulate, intimidate and instill fear in an intimate partner.

She said it's disappointing to hear "the police seemingly haven't learned anything."

"Once it turned from evidence gathering from a witness to trying to build a case against the suspect of a crime, it seems like disregarding her experiences of abuse and continuing to collect this evidence with a view to building some sort of small case against her … I really wonder if that brings the administration of justice into disrepute," said Froc.

In an email to CBC News, RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Chris Marshall said police "gave each of the three people charged appropriate and lawful cautions on every occasion."

"Throughout its investigation, the RCMP employed a trauma-informed approach with all the witnesses involved, be they victims, members of the public or potential suspects," he said.

Pitt-Payne believes the treatment of Banfield in particular should be a case study for the RCMP and other police forces going forward. 

"The question overall is back to domestic violence — how are they going to change this in the future? And that's what I think should come from this," he said.

A look at what unfolded behind the scenes on the day of and days following the 2020 tragedy in Portapique, N.S., where a lone gunman masqueraded as a police officer and killed 22 people, including a pregnant woman, in five rural communities over a period of 13 hours. CBC Halifax's Angela MacIvor reports.

Zita also said the commission's upcoming final report needs to come back to the topic of intimate partner violence. Specifically, her law firm hopes recommendations are focused on how police should communicate with such victims when their criminal jeopardy changes.

However, Zita's disappointment with the RCMP is not limited to the treatment of Banfield.

"The way that all the victims were treated in the months that directly followed from this … I think that's going to be one of the things that the commission will take to task in its upcoming report," she said.

"I know that the people involved in this, the families, the anticipation is high for the report, and I hope the end result helps with their healing."

Charges against spouse of Nova Scotia mass killer were 'lawful,' Crown says

Federal lawyers file statement of defence rejecting Lisa Banfield's accusation of malicious prosecution

Federal lawyers say it was lawful and reasonable to charge the spouse of the man responsible for the Nova Scotia mass shooting for supplying him with ammunition.

Lawyer Patricia MacPhee made the argument in a written statement of defence before the Nova Scotia Supreme Court.

She rejects the accusation by Lisa Banfield that the RCMP conspired to stage a malicious prosecution against her.

Banfield is suing the provincial and federal governments over the charge of providing ammunition to her common-law spouse, Gabriel Wortman.

Wortman killed 22 people on April 18-19, 2020, using multiple firearms and driving a replica RCMP patrol car.

Banfield alleges she was charged in December 2020 because the RCMP wanted to deflect attention from mistakes police made during the response and investigation into the killings.

In her statement of claim, filed in October 2022, Banfield says her reputation and quality of life were damaged, and that she endured pain and suffering, loss of income, out-of-pocket expenses, legal fees and cost of care.

MacPhee says Banfield was cautioned during police interviews that statements about providing ammunition to her spouse could be used as evidence.

'Lawful, reasonable and just'

"Canada denies that the RCMP instigated a baseless investigation into the plaintiff's involvement in the mass casualty," reads the court document filed Jan. 31. "It was lawful, reasonable and just for the RCMP to investigate how the perpetrator acquired the firearms, associated equipment and ammunition to carry out the mass casualty."

Banfield was interviewed several times by RCMP investigators in 2020 — on April 19, 20 and 28, and again on Oct. 23. Her lawyers have said she was never told she could have a lawyer with her.

In the statement of defence, MacPhee says, "there was no duty on the RCMP to inform the plaintiff of her right to counsel."

"She had legal counsel since April 20, 2020, and it was her decision whether to have counsel present."

MacPhee says Banfield went through restorative justice after she was charged, and "ultimately accepted responsibility for the offence, effectively admitting the truth of the allegations against her, which defeats her claim of defamation against the RCMP."

The RCMP charged Banfield, her brother and brother-in-law with unlawfully transferring the killer ammunition, after they provided him with .223-calibre Remington cartridges and .40-calibre Smith and Wesson cartridges.

Police acknowledged at the time that the three had no knowledge of what the gunman would do, and the Crown withdrew the charges after the trio participated in a restorative justice program.

Cpl. Chris Marshall: Your new N.S. RCMP Public Information Officer


DARTMOUTH: The Nova Scotia RCMP is introducing new bilingual Provincial Public Information Officer (PIO), Corporal Chris Marshall. 

Originally from Saskatchewan, Cpl. Marshall spent a portion of his childhood in Nova Scotia before moving to Montréal, where he remained until he joined the RCMP in 2011.

Following graduation from “Depot” Division in Regina, Saskatchewan, he was posted to beautiful Shelburne, Nova Scotia in general duty policing.

After his time in Shelburne, Cpl. Marshall was transferred to Cheticamp in 2013, then Kingston in 2015.

After having completed seven years of general duty policing, Cpl. Marshall started a new role in 2018 with the Valley Integrated Street Crime Enforcement Unit (VISCEU).

VISCEU includes members of the RCMP and Kentville Police Service and is based at the New Minas RCMP Detachment.

“I am excited to start this new role and continue serving Nova Scotians in a meaningful and effective way,” says Cpl. Marshall. “I have spent almost 16 years of my life in Nova Scotia, and I consider this beautiful province my home.”

The RCMP would like to thank Cpl. Jennifer Clarke for her dedication to the role of Provincial PIO since 2016, and Sgt. Andrew Joyce and Cpl. Mark Skinner for their commitments to the role in the interim.

About

I specialize in teaching interviewing using principles that are scientifically supported, legally sound and ethically administered. Whether you are a law enforcement agency, a private-sector investigation group or a human resources professional, I will teach you how to interview in a way that maximizes the quantity and quality of information obtained and minimizes liability associated with poor skills. Contact us by email at brucegpittpayne@gmail.com to discuss our course offerings or to tailor workshops or courses  to your specific needs.

Bruce Pitt-Payne honed his skills as a major crime investigator and interview specialist over his 26 year career with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. He is a subject-matter-expert on investigative techniques including  interviewing adults (witnesses and suspects) and children. For several years he was the Program Manager of Investigative Interviewing Training for the RCMP in British Columbia where he was instrumental in designing the RCMP Phased Interview Model which is the P.E.A.C.E. Model of Interviewing after an evolutionary adaptation to Canadian legal and ethical standards. He has taught witness and suspect interviewing skills on both a national and international scale and prides himself with being able to explain complex matters in a manner that is easily understood. His teaching is adult-oriented and emphasizes audio-visual material as well as student participation.

Let us teach you how to conduct interviews that are ethical and efficient.

The Ethical Phased Interview (E.P.I) Copyright 2017

The Ethical Phased Interview for Witnesses, Victims and Suspects is a scientifically-supported framework developed in Canada by RCMP member Bruce Pitt-Payne who was a subject matter expert until his retirement in 2017. It was developed from a myriad models (the United Kingdom’s P.E.A.C.E., the United States’ Cognitive Interview, Canada’s RCMP Phased Interview and Canada’s Step-Wise Suspect Interview) and is; therefore, robust and adaptable to any situation. The framework is based on best-practices and boundaries at both the Canadian legal and ethical levels, ensuring the goals of receiving information that is complete, reliable and admissible in Court. The courses include realistic scenario-based training methods that develop both competence and confidence.

The E.P.I. is divided into the following framework of phases:

Pre-interview Phase: Planning, Preparation & Review

Beginning Phase: Explain & Rapport

Middle Phase: Pure Version Account, Develop & Clarify (challenge)

End Phase: Close

Post-interview Phase: Evaluation

The E.P.I. may be used on anyone from whom you wish to obtain information through conversation. It follows two primary concepts; Cognitive Interviewing and Conversation Management but also involves aspects of Motivational Interviewing and the Strategic Use of Evidence. It may be used effectively in criminal, civil or human resource investigations and is effective and ethical when interviewing witnesses, victims and suspects. It may be used in either custodial or non-custodial settings. It is also designed to effectively and empathetically deal with witnesses and victims who have experienced violence and other forms of trauma. Furthermore, its principle-based approach allows it to be used with witnesses and victims who have mental or intellectual challenges.

The E.P.I. is neither confrontational nor accusatory in nature. It is not confession-oriented and because it does not incorporate a behavioural analysis interview, it lacks the inherent confirmation bias of some techniques or models that were not designed around scientific principles. It is principle based in that it is not to be used as a protocol; it is a toolbox or framework of scientifically-supported best practices that work best when applied to the idiosyncratic behaviour of an individual.

The goals of the E.P.I. are to obtain information that is:

a. complete;

b. reliable;

c. free of the biases of the interviewer or other persons; and,

d. consistent with Canadian legal and ethical standards

Although the primary goals of the E.P.I. are to obtain information, not to obtain a confession, a reliable confession would be an acceptable outcome should it happen. This means that it would have to have been obtained without having deprived the interviewee of the ability to choose whether to speak.

The E.P.I. is an approach built on best practices and may be adapted to any situation. For human resources investigations, its implementation would work well within the boundaries of policy, procedure and civil law. For criminal investigations, and those involving other federal, provincial and municipal statutes, the E.P.I. may be used within the boundaries set by legislation and the Courts. For example, the E.P.I. is consistent with the current Confessions Rule regarding oppression (R. v. Oickle S.C.C. ruling) as well as the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. It should only be applied in a manner that would lead to a statement that would be deemed to have been voluntarily provided and; therefore, not inherently unreliable. It should also only be applied in a manner that respects the provisions of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms [Sections 7, 10(a) and 10(b)].

>>
>> CBC News · Posted: Jan 09, 2006 4:23 PM AT
>>
>> An international expert on democracy has flown all the way from Egypt
>> to help NDP candidate John Carty campaign in Fredericton.
>>
>> Dominic Cardy is with a group called The National Democratic
>> Institute. Its members include such people as former U.S. President
>> Jimmy Carter. The group's mission is to teach democratic values and
>> spread democracy around the world.
>>
>> Cardy has taught about democracy in Algeria, Bangladesh, and Cambodia
>> during the past few years. When he heard his friend John Carty was
>> running for office back in his home town of Fredericton, he hopped on
>> a plane.
>>
>> "It was a strange experience," Cardy said. "One evening I was watching
>> the sun go down over the pyramids, and the next evening watched it go
>> down over Fredericton airport as I came into land."
>>
>> Cardy is no relation to the NDP candidate. But he loves elections and
>> loves getting people pumped up about democracy.
>>
>> Carty the candidate is running against federal Indian Affairs Minister
>> Andy Scott, Conservative Pat Lynch, Green candidate Philip Duchastel
>> and independent David Amos. The riding has sent Scott to Ottawa for
>> the last four elections, despite the best efforts of the other
>> parties.
>>
>> Cardy says he doesn't care how tough the race his – he just wants
>> people to participate in the process. "People have forgotten how
>> incredibly precious these gifts that our ancestors fought for are and
>> were just giving them away. It makes me furious when I talk to people
>> and people just say 'ah there's no point in voting.'"
>>
>> After election day, Dominic Cardy is flying back home to his wife in
>> Kathmandu, Nepal. He hopes to leave behind a new Member of Parliament
>> for Fredericton, his friend John Carty for the NDP.

>>
>> For more than 200 years, many African Nova Scotians have been living

>> Without clear title, they can’t get a mortgage, bequeath or sell their

>>
>> Clarifying land title can be an expensive legal process. Under the

>> N.S. police officer, wife launch complaint against RCMP for ‘driving
>> while Black’
>> Michael Tutton
>> HALIFAX
>> The Canadian Press
>> Published July 16, 2021
>>
>> A Halifax police superintendent and his wife, a lawyer, said Friday
>> they were launching a complaint alleging the RCMP stopped their
>> vehicle and ordered the officer out at gunpoint based on racial
>> profiling.
>>
>> The RCMP, however, issued a statement later in the day saying the
>> couple’s car matched the description of a suspect in a shooting
>> incident, and they said the officers “ensured a safe outcome to a very
>> stressful situation.”
>>
>> Dean Simmonds, a 20-year-veteran of the Halifax police, and Angela
>> Simmonds, a lawyer who was acclaimed this week as the provincial
>> Liberal candidate for Preston, say the incident of “driving while
>> Black” occurred as they were on their way to buy groceries in their
>> community of Preston at about 12:30 p.m. on July 4.
>>
>> Angela Simmonds, reached by telephone Friday, declined further comment
>> but said she and her husband stand by the details they provided in a
>> news release issued by the African Nova Scotian Decade for People of
>> African Descent Coalition.
>>
>> The coalition quotes the couple as saying that when they were stopped,
>> one of the Mounties ordered the 45-year-old police superintendent, who
>> was wearing plain clothes, out of the vehicle with his hands up, while
>> the other officer pointed a carbine rifle in his direction.
>>
>> It was only after several minutes, once Dean Simmonds managed to
>> explain who he was, that the two officers told the couple there had
>> been a report of shots fired in the area. The officers “did not
>> explain if Dean and Angela fit a description of the alleged
>> perpetrators,” the release says. “The experience was traumatic for the
>> couple, who feared for their lives.”
>>
>> Angela Simmonds is quoted saying the case was an example of the way
>> Black people continue “to be subjected to inhumane treatment and are
>> regarded as dangerous, dishonest, guilty criminals.” The release calls
>> the incident “another brutal reminder of the broader problem of
>> systemic racism within the RCMP, and it further erodes the trust
>> between police and Black communities in Nova Scotia.”
>>
>> The couple say they intend to file a complaint with the Civilian
>> Review and Complaints Commission “and want a full investigation into
>> the incident.”
>>
>> Cpl. Lisa Croteau, a spokeswoman for the RCMP, said in an e-mail
>> Friday that the suspect vehicle fleeing the scene was reported to be a
>> white SUV, with an out of province licence plate and tinted windows,
>> which she said matched the Simmonds’ vehicle.
>>
>> “The high-risk traffic stop involved a vehicle that matched the
>> suspect vehicle description, with an out of province licence plate,
>> that was coming from the direction of the nearby community,” Croteau
>> said.
>>
>> “Halifax District Operations Officers have examined the traffic stop
>> and the actions of our members. From the information we have gathered,
>> the traffic stop and the tactics employed by our members were in line
>> with RCMP policy and training. Additionally, our members ensured a
>> safe outcome to a very stressful situation, through a professional and
>> measured response.”
>>
>> The RCMP, she added, have received a complaint related to the traffic
>> stop, which they “take very seriously.”
>>
>> “The complaint has been provided to our professional responsibilities
>> unit and a public complaint file has been opened for thorough
>> investigation. Should new information come to light through this
>> investigation, we will take any and all appropriate actions.”
>>
>> Dean Simmonds says in the release he has been dedicated to addressing
>> the mistrust between the Black community and police. “I truly believed
>> that my core values, leadership and respect for my community, my job
>> and fellow officers would contribute to positive changes within
>> community policing,” he said.
>>
>> Heather Fairbairn, spokesperson for Nova Scotia Justice Minister Randy
>> Delorey, issued an e-mail statement Friday on behalf of the minister.
>> “The allegations are certainly concerning,” Delorey said. “I
>> understand a complaint is being filed, so it is important that I allow
>> that process to unfold. As this relates to an ongoing police
>> investigation it would be inappropriate for me to comment further.”
>>
>> Improper policing of Black Nova Scotians has an extensive history,
>> said Vanessa Fells, director of operations at the coalition. She said
>> that for two years the coalition has been calling on the RCMP to
>> collaborate with the group to establish an African Nova Scotian
>> policing strategy.
>>
>> “We have had absolutely no traction with it,” she said. “They seem not
>> interested. We need to stop what is currently happening and what has
>> been happening for decades and generations. It causes trauma to our
>> community.”
>>
>> The RCMP, which polices the suburbs of Halifax, was part of a study by
>> criminologist Scot Wortley released in March 2019 that condemned the
>> practice of street checks as creating a “disproportionate and
>> negative” impact on the Black community. The study found Black
>> citizens in the Halifax region were five times more likely to be
>> street-checked than white citizens. Street checks are the police
>> practice of randomly stopping people, collecting personal information
>> and storing it.
>>
>> On Nov. 29, 2019, Halifax police Chief Dan Kinsella issued an apology
>> before several hundred members of the Black community, but the RCMP
>> has yet to issue a similar apology on the street checks issue.
>> Kinsella said in a release Friday that the superintendent had the
>> right to pursue a complaint as a private citizen, adding that it would
>> be inappropriate for him to comment further.
>>
>> The phrase “driving while Black” became well known in the province
>> after a 2003 decision of the Nova Scotia Human Rights Commission in
>> the case of boxer Kirk Johnson, who was repeatedly pulled over by
>> police and once had his car seized. Johnson was pursued and his car
>> was towed after the officer wasn’t satisfied by the documents offered.
>> A board of inquiry ruled in 2003 that Johnson’s treatment was a
>> violation of his human rights.

Retiring Chief Justice David Smith reflects on 26-year career

Smith appointed to the bench in 1993 and named chief justice of the Court of Queen's Bench five years later

And it was a case that made history when Smith, the chief justice of the Court of Queen's Bench, handed down the most severe criminal sentence in Canada since the abolition of the death penalty: three consecutive life sentences with no chance of parole for 75 years.

"There were three police officers," Smith said in an interview in his office the day before he retired from the court. "Police officers put their lives on the line for us. I felt each one of them, their loss, deserved a life sentence. That was my feeling on it." 

Smith used a new federal law, passed in 2011, that allowed consecutive, rather than concurrent, sentences in cases involving multiple murders. 

Bourque killed constables Douglas James Larche, Dave Joseph Ross and Fabrice Georges Gevaudan in June 2014. He wounded two other officers. 

Bourque pleaded guilty, sparing the families of the officers a long trial.

But the two-day sentencing hearing went through a detailed timeline of the killings — an experience Smith says he will never forget. 

"I found it the most difficult case I've done in my career," Smith said. "It was so emotional. Normally you don't get that much emotion in a case. … It was devastating listening to it."

Smith was appointed to the bench in 1993 and was named chief justice of the Court of Queen's Bench five years later. 

The Moncton native retired March 20 when he turned 75, the mandatory retirement age for judges. He said the Bourque case is the one "that's going to live with me the rest of my life."

In the wake of the sentencing, some legal experts questioned whether Bourque's lawyer, David Lutz, gave him a full defence.

Lutz agreed to a statement of facts calling the killings "one of the most heinous crimes in Canadian history." After the sentencing, he declared Smith "had no choice" but to impose the 75-year sentence and did not file an appeal.

Smith wouldn't comment on Lutz's handling of the case, but said he wasn't surprised there had been no appeal.

He said Bourque had Lutz's advice and understood the ramifications of his guilty plea.  "I think he was resigned to what was happening," he said.

A Quebec lawyer later said she would take on the appeal, but she was appointed a judge in 2016 and had to drop the case.

Judicature Act battle

Smith also used his retirement to make a final comment on his public battle with the previous Liberal government of Brian Gallant over changes to the Judicature Act. 

The 2017 amendments took away Smith's power to unilaterally transfer judges on the Court of Queen's Bench, something he complained publicly would erode the independence of the courts. 

"It pretty well is obvious that it targeted me and didn't allow me to move judges when they wished to be moved," Smith told CBC News last week.

He said given the province offered different rationales for the change at different times, "I think it had to be — I'm speculating — a political motive rather than for the good of the court."

But he would not comment on Progressive Conservative allegations that the Liberals wanted to keep some judicial vacancies open so that lawyers close to Gallant and federal cabinet minister Dominic LeBlanc could be appointed to fill them. 

"It's all pure speculation," Smith said. 

During the public controversy, CBC News obtained correspondence that showed two of Smith's colleagues — then-New Brunswick Chief Justice Ernest Drapeau and fellow Court of Queen's Bench justice George Rideout — were at odds with him over the issue.

But Smith said his relationship with most of his fellow judges "was generally very good" as the public debate played out.

"The court was supportive in general, because they knew I always [transfer a judge] only at the request of the judge and always for the benefit of the court." 

In last year's election, Progressive Conservative MLA Ted Flemming promised that a PC government would repeal the change, though that hasn't happened yet. 

Cameras and courthouses

Smith also weighed in on the PC government's decision to cancel a planned new courthouse for Fredericton that would replace the existing 1930 building. 

"It does need replacing. I don't think there's any doubt about that," Smith said, though he added it should happen "when we can afford it."

He wouldn't call the need urgent, but said it should happen within the current government's mandate.

Smith said modern courthouses, including those in Moncton and Saint John, have much-needed security features including separate entrances for the public, prisoners and judges, "so we never meet. It's a very secure system." 

Earlier this year, Smith said the Fredericton courthouse lacks much-needed security features that modern courthouses in Saint John and Moncton have. (CBC)

The former chief justice also said he thinks the courts should be more open to the public, including by livestreaming proceedings via video cameras.

Cameras already record trials and hearings for internal use and "it would seem to me it should be a fairly easy thing to stream those … so if you want to tune in to see what's happening in Courtroom Number 12, you should be able to do that."

Smith warned that "most of it's like watching paint dry — it's not very entertaining," but said he believes in transparency. Family court trials might not be livestreamed, but "anything that's open to the public should be able to be broadcast." 

A new settlement process

Smith said the biggest change he saw during his more than quarter-century as a judge was the advent of settlement conferences, something he pioneered in New Brunswick.

To deal with a backlog of cases, Smith began nudging parties in civil cases to agree to settlement conferences, overseen by judges, to sort out an agreement and avoid a lengthy trial. 

The agreements are turned into binding court orders that are not subject to appeal. 

At first, many judges believed that overseeing such discussions went beyond their role, but now almost all recognize it's a way to make the courts more efficient. 

"It's such a time-saver and a money-saver," he said. "It gives a certainty that going to court doesn't."

Moncton Mountie killer can seek parole 50 years earlier after appeal

Decision by N.B. Appeal Court was expected after higher court ruling struck down 'parole-stacking'

The man who killed three Mounties in Moncton, N.B., will be able to seek parole decades sooner. 

A decision by New Brunswick's Court of Appeal issued Thursday reduces Justin Bourque's parole eligibility by 50 years. He could seek parole at age 49 instead of 99. 

The decision notes that while a person may be eligible for parole, there's no guarantee the Parole Board of Canada would grant it. 

The Appeal Court decision was all but certain following a Supreme Court of Canada ruling last year that struck down "parole-stacking." That decision was in the case involving Alexandre Bissonnette, the man who shot six people at a Quebec City mosque in 2017, and applied retroactively to 2011.

"The Supreme Court's decision in Bissonnette makes the sentence imposed on Mr. Bourque one that is neither permitted by law nor constitutional," the appeal court decision states. 

Crown prosecutors acknowledged in filings ahead of the decision that the Supreme Court ruling means Bourque's eligibility must be reduced. 

Bourque fatally shot constables David Ross, Fabrice Gevaudan and Douglas Larche and wounded constables Darlene Goguen and Eric Dubois on June 4, 2014.

He not only left families devastated, but also left the local community and the law enforcement communities in a state of pain and anguish.
- Court of Appeal decision

The brief decision says "we observe that Mr. Bourque committed horrendous crimes that damaged the very fabric of our society. Fuelled by hatred for authority, he took the lives of three innocent victims and injured two more.

"He not only left families devastated, but also left the local community and the law enforcement communities in a state of pain and anguish."

Bourque's lawyer, David Lutz, said he was unavailable to comment Thursday.

In a statement released following the decision, the RCMP union said it respects the authority of the Supreme Court of Canada even when it disagrees with a specific decision. 

Brian Sauvé, president of the National Police Federation, said in the statement that the union is calling on the federal government to address the root causes of crime and should consider reviewing and modernizing sentencing guidelines.

Bourque was 24 when he pleaded guilty in 2014 to three counts of murder and two counts of attempted murder. 

A person convicted of first-degree murder is ineligible for parole for 25 years. 

When Bourque was sentenced, the law allowed judges to impose life sentences for multiple murders consecutively instead of concurrently. The judge did so, resulting in Bourque being ineligible for parole for 75 years. 

In the Bissonnette case, the Supreme Court found the 2011 law allowing consecutive periods of parole ineligibility violated the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. 

The Bourque decision by Chief Justice Marc Richard, Justice Kathleen Quigg and Justice Denise LeBlanc cites a passage of that ruling saying it shouldn't be read as devaluing the lives of victims.

"This appeal is not about the value of each human life, but rather about the limits on the state's power to punish offenders, which, in a society founded on the rule of law, must be exercised in a manner consistent with the Constitution," the Supreme Court decision states.

In an interview when he retired, David Smith, who sentenced Justin Bourque in 2014, called it the most difficult case he had heard in his 26 years as a judge. (Jacques Poitras/CBC)

Bouque's sentence by David Smith, at the time chief justice of the Court of Queen's Bench, was considered the most severe in Canada since the abolition of the death penalty.

While Bourque pleaded guilty, avoiding the need to hold a trial, a two-day sentencing hearing included a detailed timeline of the killings.

Smith said in an interview with CBC after he retired in 2019 that it was the most difficult case he heard in his 26 years as a judge.

"Police officers put their lives on the line for us. I felt each one of them, their loss, deserved a life sentence. That was my feeling on it."

Moncton Mountie killer to formally ask Appeal Court for earlier parole eligibility

Justin Bourque now eligible for parole at 49, rather than 99 as originally sentenced

Justin Bourque has a date with the New Brunswick Court of Appeal next month, but it's more of a legal formality than anything else, says his lawyer. 

In court documents, David Lutz has asked the court to shave 50 years off Bourque's parole eligibility. 

The move simply ensures Bourque's parole documents are in line with last year's decision by the Supreme Court of Canada. 

In May, the court unanimously struck down so-called "parole-stacking" for mass murderers. According to the decision, it took effect immediately and is retroactive to 2011, when the law was created. 

That meant Bourque, the man who killed three RCMP officers in Moncton in 2014,  will be eligible for parole at the age of 49 rather than 99, which is what the sentencing judge imposed. 

But Bourque's file still contains the original parole eligibility. Lutz said he must formally ask the court to "make the change official."

Section 745.51 of the Criminal Code was enacted in 2011 and gave sentencing judges the power to combine parole eligibility in cases of multiple first- and second-degree murder charges. 

But Alexandre Bissonnette, who shot six people at a mosque in 2017,  challenged the constitutionality of the law and the Supreme Court decided in his favour last May.

Chief Justice Richard Wagner wrote the decision for the court, saying it constituted cruel and unusual punishment. 

Wagner wrote that by establishing parole ineligibility "for 75, 100, 125 or even 800 years, the conclusion is self‑evident: the individual is sentenced to die in prison, deprived of any possibility of one day recovering a portion of their liberty."

He then cited Bourque's case as an illustration that "such cases are far from being hypothetical."

Each victim 'deserved a life sentence'

The judge who sentenced Bourque in 2014 spoke about using the Criminal Code section that was struck down last year.

Just before he retired from the bench in 2019, David Smith talked about handing down three consecutive life sentences with no chance of parole for 75 years.

"There were three police officers," Smith said in an interview in his office the day before he retired from the court. "Police officers put their lives on the line for us. I felt each one of them, their loss, deserved a life sentence. That was my feeling on it."

(and formerly Respondent)
REASONS FOR JUDGMENT BY THE COURT

I.                    Introduction

[1]               On September 16, 2015, David Raymond Amos (Mr. Amos)
filed a 53-page Statement of Claim (the Claim) in Federal Court
against Her Majesty the Queen (the Crown). Mr. Amos claims $11 million
in damages and a public apology from the Prime Minister and Provincial
Premiers for being illegally barred from accessing parliamentary
properties and seeks a declaration from the Minister of Public Safety
that the Canadian Government will no longer allow the Royal Canadian
Mounted Police (RCMP) and Canadian Forces to harass him and his clan
(Claim at para. 96).

[2]               On November 12, 2015 (Docket T-1557-15), by way of a
motion brought by the Crown, a prothonotary of the Federal Court (the
Prothonotary) struck the Claim in its entirety, without leave to
amend, on the basis that it was plain and obvious that the Claim
disclosed no reasonable claim, the Claim was fundamentally vexatious,
and the Claim could not be salvaged by way of further amendment (the
Prothontary’s Order).


[3]               On January 25, 2016 (2016 FC 93), by way of Mr.
Amos’ appeal from the Prothonotary’s Order, a judge of the Federal
Court (the Judge), reviewing the matter de novo, struck all of Mr.
Amos’ claims for relief with the exception of the claim for damages
for being barred by the RCMP from the New Brunswick legislature in
2004 (the Federal Court Judgment).


[4]               Mr. Amos appealed and the Crown cross-appealed the
Federal Court Judgment. Further to the issuance of a Notice of Status
Review, Mr. Amos’ appeal was dismissed for delay on December 19, 2016.
As such, the only matter before this Court is the Crown’s
cross-appeal.


II.                 Preliminary Matter

[5]               Mr. Amos, in his memorandum of fact and law in
relation to the cross-appeal that was filed with this Court on March
6, 2017, indicated that several judges of this Court, including two of
the judges of this panel, had a conflict of interest in this appeal.
This was the first time that he identified the judges whom he believed
had a conflict of interest in a document that was filed with this
Court. In his notice of appeal he had alluded to a conflict with
several judges but did not name those judges.

[6]               Mr. Amos was of the view that he did not have to
identify the judges in any document filed with this Court because he
had identified the judges in various documents that had been filed
with the Federal Court. In his view the Federal Court and the Federal
Court of Appeal are the same court and therefore any document filed in
the Federal Court would be filed in this Court. This view is based on
subsections 5(4) and 5.1(4) of the Federal Courts Act, R.S.C., 1985,
c. F-7:


5(4) Every judge of the Federal Court is, by virtue of his or her
office, a judge of the Federal Court of Appeal and has all the
jurisdiction, power and authority of a judge of the Federal Court of
Appeal.
[…]

5(4) Les juges de la Cour fédérale sont d’office juges de la Cour
d’appel fédérale et ont la même compétence et les mêmes pouvoirs que
les juges de la Cour d’appel fédérale.
[…]
5.1(4) Every judge of the Federal Court of Appeal is, by virtue of
that office, a judge of the Federal Court and has all the
jurisdiction, power and authority of a judge of the Federal Court.

5.1(4) Les juges de la Cour d’appel fédérale sont d’office juges de la
Cour fédérale et ont la même compétence et les mêmes pouvoirs que les
juges de la Cour fédérale.


[7]               However, these subsections only provide that the
judges of the Federal Court are also judges of this Court (and vice
versa). It does not mean that there is only one court. If the Federal
Court and this Court were one Court, there would be no need for this
section.
[8]               Sections 3 and 4 of the Federal Courts Act provide that:
3 The division of the Federal Court of Canada called the Federal Court
— Appeal Division is continued under the name “Federal Court of
Appeal” in English and “Cour d’appel fédérale” in French. It is
continued as an additional court of law, equity and admiralty in and
for Canada, for the better administration of the laws of Canada and as
a superior court of record having civil and criminal jurisdiction.

3 La Section d’appel, aussi appelée la Cour d’appel ou la Cour d’appel
fédérale, est maintenue et dénommée « Cour d’appel fédérale » en
français et « Federal Court of Appeal » en anglais. Elle est maintenue
à titre de tribunal additionnel de droit, d’equity et d’amirauté du
Canada, propre à améliorer l’application du droit canadien, et
continue d’être une cour supérieure d’archives ayant compétence en
matière civile et pénale.
4 The division of the Federal Court of Canada called the Federal Court
— Trial Division is continued under the name “Federal Court” in
English and “Cour fédérale” in French. It is continued as an
additional court of law, equity and admiralty in and for Canada, for
the better administration of the laws of Canada and as a superior
court of record having civil and criminal jurisdiction.

4 La section de la Cour fédérale du Canada, appelée la Section de
première instance de la Cour fédérale, est maintenue et dénommée «
Cour fédérale » en français et « Federal Court » en anglais. Elle est
maintenue à titre de tribunal additionnel de droit, d’equity et
d’amirauté du Canada, propre à améliorer l’application du droit
canadien, et continue d’être une cour supérieure d’archives ayant
compétence en matière civile et pénale.


[9]               Sections 3 and 4 of the Federal Courts Act create
two separate courts – this Court (section 3) and the Federal Court
(section 4). If, as Mr. Amos suggests, documents filed in the Federal
Court were automatically also filed in this Court, then there would no
need for the parties to prepare and file appeal books as required by
Rules 343 to 345 of the Federal Courts Rules, SOR/98-106 in relation
to any appeal from a decision of the Federal Court. The requirement to
file an appeal book with this Court in relation to an appeal from a
decision of the Federal Court makes it clear that the only documents
that will be before this Court are the documents that are part of that
appeal book.


[10]           Therefore, the memorandum of fact and law filed on
March 6, 2017 is the first document, filed with this Court, in which
Mr. Amos identified the particular judges that he submits have a
conflict in any matter related to him.


[11]           On April 3, 2017, Mr. Amos attempted to bring a motion
before the Federal Court seeking an order “affirming or denying the
conflict of interest he has” with a number of judges of the Federal
Court. A judge of the Federal Court issued a direction noting that if
Mr. Amos was seeking this order in relation to judges of the Federal
Court of Appeal, it was beyond the jurisdiction of the Federal Court.
Mr. Amos raised the Federal Court motion at the hearing of this
cross-appeal. The Federal Court motion is not a motion before this
Court and, as such, the submissions filed before the Federal Court
will not be entertained. As well, since this was a motion brought
before the Federal Court (and not this Court), any documents filed in
relation to that motion are not part of the record of this Court.


[12]           During the hearing of the appeal Mr. Amos alleged that
the third member of this panel also had a conflict of interest and
submitted some documents that, in his view, supported his claim of a
conflict. Mr. Amos, following the hearing of his appeal, was also
afforded the opportunity to provide a brief summary of the conflict
that he was alleging and to file additional documents that, in his
view, supported his allegations. Mr. Amos submitted several pages of
documents in relation to the alleged conflicts. He organized the
documents by submitting a copy of the biography of the particular
judge and then, immediately following that biography, by including
copies of the documents that, in his view, supported his claim that
such judge had a conflict.


[13]           The nature of the alleged conflict of Justice Webb is
that before he was appointed as a Judge of the Tax Court of Canada in
2006, he was a partner with the law firm Patterson Law, and before
that with Patterson Palmer in Nova Scotia. Mr. Amos submitted that he
had a number of disputes with Patterson Palmer and Patterson Law and
therefore Justice Webb has a conflict simply because he was a partner
of these firms. Mr. Amos is not alleging that Justice Webb was
personally involved in or had any knowledge of any matter in which Mr.
Amos was involved with Justice Webb’s former law firm – only that he
was a member of such firm.


[14]           During his oral submissions at the hearing of his
appeal Mr. Amos, in relation to the alleged conflict for Justice Webb,
focused on dealings between himself and a particular lawyer at
Patterson Law. However, none of the documents submitted by Mr. Amos at
the hearing or subsequently related to any dealings with this
particular lawyer nor is it clear when Mr. Amos was dealing with this
lawyer. In particular, it is far from clear whether such dealings were
after the time that Justice Webb was appointed as a Judge of the Tax
Court of Canada over 10 years ago.


[15]           The documents that he submitted in relation to the
alleged conflict for Justice Webb largely relate to dealings between
Byron Prior and the St. John’s Newfoundland and Labrador office of
Patterson Palmer, which is not in the same province where Justice Webb
practiced law. The only document that indicates any dealing between
Mr. Amos and Patterson Palmer is a copy of an affidavit of Stephen May
who was a partner in the St. John’s NL office of Patterson Palmer. The
affidavit is dated January 24, 2005 and refers to a number of e-mails
that were sent by Mr. Amos to Stephen May. Mr. Amos also included a
letter that is addressed to four individuals, one of whom is John
Crosbie who was counsel to the St. John’s NL office of Patterson
Palmer. The letter is dated September 2, 2004 and is addressed to
“John Crosbie, c/o Greg G. Byrne, Suite 502, 570 Queen Street,
Fredericton, NB E3B 5E3”. In this letter Mr. Amos alludes to a
possible lawsuit against Patterson Palmer.
[16]           Mr. Amos’ position is that simply because Justice Webb
was a lawyer with Patterson Palmer, he now has a conflict. In Wewaykum
Indian Band v. Her Majesty the Queen, 2003 SCC 45, [2003] 2 S.C.R.
259, the Supreme Court of Canada noted that disqualification of a
judge is to be determined based on whether there is a reasonable
apprehension of bias:
60        In Canadian law, one standard has now emerged as the
criterion for disqualification. The criterion, as expressed by de
Grandpré J. in Committee for Justice and Liberty v. National Energy
Board, …[[1978] 1 S.C.R. 369, 68 D.L.R. (3d) 716], at p. 394, is the
reasonable apprehension of bias:
… the apprehension of bias must be a reasonable one, held by
reasonable and right minded persons, applying themselves to the
question and obtaining thereon the required information. In the words
of the Court of Appeal, that test is "what would an informed person,
viewing the matter realistically and practically -- and having thought
the matter through -- conclude. Would he think that it is more likely
than not that [the decision-maker], whether consciously or
unconsciously, would not decide fairly."

[17]           The issue to be determined is whether an informed
person, viewing the matter realistically and practically, and having
thought the matter through, would conclude that Mr. Amos’ allegations
give rise to a reasonable apprehension of bias. As this Court has
previously remarked, “there is a strong presumption that judges will
administer justice impartially” and this presumption will not be
rebutted in the absence of “convincing evidence” of bias (Collins v.
Canada, 2011 FCA 140 at para. 7, [2011] 4 C.T.C. 157 [Collins]. See
also R. v. S. (R.D.), [1997] 3 S.C.R. 484 at para. 32, 151 D.L.R.
(4th) 193).

[18]           The Ontario Court of Appeal in Rando Drugs Ltd. v.
Scott, 2007 ONCA 553, 86 O.R. (3d) 653 (leave to appeal to the Supreme
Court of Canada refused, 32285 (August 1, 2007)), addressed the
particular issue of whether a judge is disqualified from hearing a
case simply because he had been a member of a law firm that was
involved in the litigation that was now before that judge. The Ontario
Court of Appeal determined that the judge was not disqualified if the
judge had no involvement with the person or the matter when he was a
lawyer. The Ontario Court of Appeal also explained that the rules for
determining whether a judge is disqualified are different from the
rules to determine whether a lawyer has a conflict:
27        Thus, disqualification is not the natural corollary to a
finding that a trial judge has had some involvement in a case over
which he or she is now presiding. Where the judge had no involvement,
as here, it cannot be said that the judge is disqualified.


28        The point can rightly be made that had Mr. Patterson been
asked to represent the appellant as counsel before his appointment to
the bench, the conflict rules would likely have prevented him from
taking the case because his firm had formerly represented one of the
defendants in the case. Thus, it is argued how is it that as a trial
judge Patterson J. can hear the case? This issue was considered by the
Court of Appeal (Civil Division) in Locabail (U.K.) Ltd. v. Bayfield
Properties Ltd., [2000] Q.B. 451. The court held, at para. 58, that
there is no inflexible rule governing the disqualification of a judge
and that, "[e]verything depends on the circumstances."


29        It seems to me that what appears at first sight to be an
inconsistency in application of rules can be explained by the
different contexts and in particular, the strong presumption of
judicial impartiality that applies in the context of disqualification
of a judge. There is no such presumption in cases of allegations of
conflict of interest against a lawyer because of a firm's previous
involvement in the case. To the contrary, as explained by Sopinka J.
in MacDonald Estate v. Martin (1990), 77 D.L.R. (4th) 249 (S.C.C.),
for sound policy reasons there is a presumption of a disqualifying
interest that can rarely be overcome. In particular, a conclusory
statement from the lawyer that he or she had no confidential
information about the case will never be sufficient. The case is the
opposite where the allegation of bias is made against a trial judge.
His or her statement that he or she knew nothing about the case and
had no involvement in it will ordinarily be accepted at face value
unless there is good reason to doubt it: see Locabail, at para. 19.


30        That brings me then to consider the particular circumstances
of this case and whether there are serious grounds to find a
disqualifying conflict of interest in this case. In my view, there are
two significant factors that justify the trial judge's decision not to
recuse himself. The first is his statement, which all parties accept,
that he knew nothing of the case when it was in his former firm and
that he had nothing to do with it. The second is the long passage of
time. As was said in Wewaykum, at para. 85:
            To us, one significant factor stands out, and must inform
the perspective of the reasonable person assessing the impact of this
involvement on Binnie J.'s impartiality in the appeals. That factor is
the passage of time. Most arguments for disqualification rest on
circumstances that are either contemporaneous to the decision-making,
or that occurred within a short time prior to the decision-making.
31        There are other factors that inform the issue. The Wilson
Walker firm no longer acted for any of the parties by the time of
trial. More importantly, at the time of the motion, Patterson J. had
been a judge for six years and thus had not had a relationship with
his former firm for a considerable period of time.


32        In my view, a reasonable person, viewing the matter
realistically would conclude that the trial judge could deal fairly
and impartially with this case. I take this view principally because
of the long passage of time and the trial judge's lack of involvement
in or knowledge of the case when the Wilson Walker firm had carriage.
In these circumstances it cannot be reasonably contended that the
trial judge could not remain impartial in the case. The mere fact that
his name appears on the letterhead of some correspondence from over a
decade ago would not lead a reasonable person to believe that he would
either consciously or unconsciously favour his former firm's former
client. It is simply not realistic to think that a judge would throw
off his mantle of impartiality, ignore his oath of office and favour a
client - about whom he knew nothing - of a firm that he left six years
earlier and that no longer acts for the client, in a case involving
events from over a decade ago.
(emphasis added)

[19]           Justice Webb had no involvement with any matter
involving Mr. Amos while he was a member of Patterson Palmer or
Patterson Law, nor does Mr. Amos suggest that he did. Mr. Amos made it
clear during the hearing of this matter that the only reason for the
alleged conflict for Justice Webb was that he was a member of
Patterson Law and Patterson Palmer. This is simply not enough for
Justice Webb to be disqualified. Any involvement of Mr. Amos with
Patterson Law while Justice Webb was a member of that firm would have
had to occur over 10 years ago and even longer for the time when he
was a member of Patterson Palmer. In addition to the lack of any
involvement on his part with any matter or dispute that Mr. Amos had
with Patterson Law or Patterson Palmer (which in and of itself is
sufficient to dispose of this matter), the length of time since
Justice Webb was a member of Patterson Law or Patterson Palmer would
also result in the same finding – that there is no conflict in Justice
Webb hearing this appeal.

[20]           Similarly in R. v. Bagot, 2000 MBCA 30, 145 Man. R.
(2d) 260, the Manitoba Court of Appeal found that there was no
reasonable apprehension of bias when a judge, who had been a member of
the law firm that had been retained by the accused, had no involvement
with the accused while he was a lawyer with that firm.

[21]           In Del Zotto v. Minister of National Revenue, [2000] 4
F.C. 321, 257 N.R. 96, this court did find that there would be a
reasonable apprehension of bias where a judge, who while he was a
lawyer, had recorded time on a matter involving the same person who
was before that judge. However, this case can be distinguished as
Justice Webb did not have any time recorded on any files involving Mr.
Amos while he was a lawyer with Patterson Palmer or Patterson Law.

[22]           Mr. Amos also included with his submissions a CD. He
stated in his affidavit dated June 26, 2017 that there is a “true copy
of an American police surveillance wiretap entitled 139” on this CD.
He has also indicated that he has “provided a true copy of the CD
entitled 139 to many American and Canadian law enforcement authorities
and not one of the police forces or officers of the court are willing
to investigate it”. Since he has indicated that this is an “American
police surveillance wiretap”, this is a matter for the American law
enforcement authorities and cannot create, as Mr. Amos suggests, a
conflict of interest for any judge to whom he provides a copy.

[23]           As a result, there is no conflict or reasonable
apprehension of bias for Justice Webb and therefore, no reason for him
to recuse himself.

[24]           Mr. Amos alleged that Justice Near’s past professional
experience with the government created a “quasi-conflict” in deciding
the cross-appeal. Mr. Amos provided no details and Justice Near
confirmed that he had no prior knowledge of the matters alleged in the
Claim. Justice Near sees no reason to recuse himself.

[25]           Insofar as it is possible to glean the basis for Mr.
Amos’ allegations against Justice Gleason, it appears that he alleges
that she is incapable of hearing this appeal because he says he wrote
a letter to Brian Mulroney and Jean Chrétien in 2004. At that time,
both Justice Gleason and Mr. Mulroney were partners in the law firm
Ogilvy Renault, LLP. The letter in question, which is rude and angry,
begins with “Hey you two Evil Old Smiling Bastards” and “Re: me suing
you and your little dogs too”. There is no indication that the letter
was ever responded to or that a law suit was ever commenced by Mr.
Amos against Mr. Mulroney. In the circumstances, there is no reason
for Justice Gleason to recuse herself as the letter in question does
not give rise to a reasonable apprehension of bias.


III.               Issue

[26]           The issue on the cross-appeal is as follows: Did the
Judge err in setting aside the Prothonotary’s Order striking the Claim
in its entirety without leave to amend and in determining that Mr.
Amos’ allegation that the RCMP barred him from the New Brunswick
legislature in 2004 was capable of supporting a cause of action?

IV.              Analysis

A.                 Standard of Review

[27]           Following the Judge’s decision to set aside the
Prothonotary’s Order, this Court revisited the standard of review to
be applied to discretionary decisions of prothonotaries and decisions
made by judges on appeals of prothonotaries’ decisions in Hospira
Healthcare Corp. v. Kennedy Institute of Rheumatology, 2016 FCA 215,
402 D.L.R. (4th) 497 [Hospira]. In Hospira, a five-member panel of
this Court replaced the Aqua-Gem standard of review with that
articulated in Housen v. Nikolaisen, 2002 SCC 33, [2002] 2 S.C.R. 235
[Housen]. As a result, it is no longer appropriate for the Federal
Court to conduct a de novo review of a discretionary order made by a
prothonotary in regard to questions vital to the final issue of the
case. Rather, a Federal Court judge can only intervene on appeal if
the prothonotary made an error of law or a palpable and overriding
error in determining a question of fact or question of mixed fact and
law (Hospira at para. 79). Further, this Court can only interfere with
a Federal Court judge’s review of a prothonotary’s discretionary order
if the judge made an error of law or palpable and overriding error in
determining a question of fact or question of mixed fact and law
(Hospira at paras. 82-83).

[28]           In the case at bar, the Judge substituted his own
assessment of Mr. Amos’ Claim for that of the Prothonotary. This Court
must look to the Prothonotary’s Order to determine whether the Judge
erred in law or made a palpable and overriding error in choosing to
interfere.


B.                 Did the Judge err in interfering with the
Prothonotary’s Order?

[29]           The Prothontoary’s Order accepted the following
paragraphs from the Crown’s submissions as the basis for striking the
Claim in its entirety without leave to amend:

17.       Within the 96 paragraph Statement of Claim, the Plaintiff
addresses his complaint in paragraphs 14-24, inclusive. All but four
of those paragraphs are dedicated to an incident that occurred in 2006
in and around the legislature in New Brunswick. The jurisdiction of
the Federal Court does not extend to Her Majesty the Queen in right of
the Provinces. In any event, the Plaintiff hasn’t named the Province
or provincial actors as parties to this action. The incident alleged
does not give rise to a justiciable cause of action in this Court.
(…)


21.       The few paragraphs that directly address the Defendant
provide no details as to the individuals involved or the location of
the alleged incidents or other details sufficient to allow the
Defendant to respond. As a result, it is difficult or impossible to
determine the causes of action the Plaintiff is attempting to advance.
A generous reading of the Statement of Claim allows the Defendant to
only speculate as to the true and/or intended cause of action. At
best, the Plaintiff’s action may possibly be summarized as: he
suspects he is barred from the House of Commons.
[footnotes omitted].


[30]           The Judge determined that he could not strike the Claim
on the same jurisdictional basis as the Prothonotary. The Judge noted
that the Federal Court has jurisdiction over claims based on the
liability of Federal Crown servants like the RCMP and that the actors
who barred Mr. Amos from the New Brunswick legislature in 2004
included the RCMP (Federal Court Judgment at para. 23). In considering
the viability of these allegations de novo, the Judge identified
paragraph 14 of the Claim as containing “some precision” as it
identifies the date of the event and a RCMP officer acting as
Aide-de-Camp to the Lieutenant Governor (Federal Court Judgment at
para. 27).


[31]           The Judge noted that the 2004 event could support a
cause of action in the tort of misfeasance in public office and
identified the elements of the tort as excerpted from Meigs v. Canada,
2013 FC 389, 431 F.T.R. 111:


[13]      As in both the cases of Odhavji Estate v Woodhouse, 2003 SCC
69 [Odhavji] and Lewis v Canada, 2012 FC 1514 [Lewis], I must
determine whether the plaintiffs’ statement of claim pleads each
element of the alleged tort of misfeasance in public office:

a) The public officer must have engaged in deliberate and unlawful
conduct in his or her capacity as public officer;

b) The public officer must have been aware both that his or her
conduct was unlawful and that it was likely to harm the plaintiff; and

c) There must be an element of bad faith or dishonesty by the public
officer and knowledge of harm alone is insufficient to conclude that a
public officer acted in bad faith or dishonestly.
Odhavji, above, at paras 23, 24 and 28
(Federal Court Judgment at para. 28).

[32]           The Judge determined that Mr. Amos disclosed sufficient
material facts to meet the elements of the tort of misfeasance in
public office because the actors, who barred him from the New
Brunswick legislature in 2004, including the RCMP, did so for
“political reasons” (Federal Court Judgment at para. 29).

[33]           This Court’s discussion of the sufficiency of pleadings
in Merchant Law Group v. Canada (Revenue Agency), 2010 FCA 184, 321
D.L.R (4th) 301 is particularly apt:

…When pleading bad faith or abuse of power, it is not enough to
assert, baldly, conclusory phrases such as “deliberately or
negligently,” “callous disregard,” or “by fraud and theft did steal”.
“The bare assertion of a conclusion upon which the court is called
upon to pronounce is not an allegation of material fact”. Making bald,
conclusory allegations without any evidentiary foundation is an abuse
of process…

To this, I would add that the tort of misfeasance in public office
requires a particular state of mind of a public officer in carrying
out the impunged action, i.e., deliberate conduct which the public
officer knows to be inconsistent with the obligations of his or her
office. For this tort, particularization of the allegations is
mandatory. Rule 181 specifically requires particularization of
allegations of “breach of trust,” “wilful default,” “state of mind of
a person,” “malice” or “fraudulent intention.”
(at paras. 34-35, citations omitted).

[34]           Applying the Housen standard of review to the
Prothonotary’s Order, we are of the view that the Judge interfered
absent a legal or palpable and overriding error.

[35]           The Prothonotary determined that Mr. Amos’ Claim
disclosed no reasonable claim and was fundamentally vexatious on the
basis of jurisdictional concerns and the absence of material facts to
ground a cause of action. Paragraph 14 of the Claim, which addresses
the 2004 event, pleads no material facts as to how the RCMP officer
engaged in deliberate and unlawful conduct, knew that his or her
conduct was unlawful and likely to harm Mr. Amos, and acted in bad
faith. While the Claim alleges elsewhere that Mr. Amos was barred from
the New Brunswick legislature for political and/or malicious reasons,
these allegations are not particularized and are directed against
non-federal actors, such as the Sergeant-at-Arms of the Legislative
Assembly of New Brunswick and the Fredericton Police Force. As such,
the Judge erred in determining that Mr. Amos’ allegation that the RCMP
barred him from the New Brunswick legislature in 2004 was capable of
supporting a cause of action.

[36]           In our view, the Claim is made up entirely of bare
allegations, devoid of any detail, such that it discloses no
reasonable cause of action within the jurisdiction of the Federal
Courts. Therefore, the Judge erred in interfering to set aside the
Prothonotary’s Order striking the claim in its entirety. Further, we
find that the Prothonotary made no error in denying leave to amend.
The deficiencies in Mr. Amos’ pleadings are so extensive such that
amendment could not cure them (see Collins at para. 26).

V.                 Conclusion
[37]           For the foregoing reasons, we would allow the Crown’s
cross-appeal, with costs, setting aside the Federal Court Judgment,
dated January 25, 2016 and restoring the Prothonotary’s Order, dated
November 12, 2015, which struck Mr. Amos’ Claim in its entirety
without leave to amend.

> 12, 2015, in which Prothonotary Morneau struck the Statement of Claim
> in its entirety.
>
> At the outset of the hearing, the Plaintiff brought to my attention a
> letter dated September 10, 2004, which he sent to me, in my then
> capacity as Past President of the New Brunswick Branch of the Canadian
> Bar Association, and the then President of the Branch, Kathleen Quigg,

> he stated:
>
> As for your past President, Mr. Bell, may I suggest that you check the
> work of Frank McKenna before I sue your entire law firm including you.
> You are your brother’s keeper.
>
> Frank McKenna is the former Premier of New Brunswick and a former
> colleague of mine at the law firm of McInnes Cooper. In addition to
> expressing an intention to sue me, the Plaintiff refers to a number of
> people in his Motion Record who he appears to contend may be witnesses

> Minister of Canada, The Right Honourable Stephen Harper; former
> Attorney General of Canada and now a Justice of the Manitoba Court of

FOIA For Fun and Liberation
by Massachusetts Pirate Party

Publication date 2016-06-25
Usage http://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/
Topics Massachusetts, Public Records, Secretary of the Commonwealth, FOIA
Language English
Maya Shaffer is a reporter for the Bay State Examiner, and someone
who's used Massachusetts public records law enough to know it inside
and out.  This is a great talk, where Maya tells her stories of public
records requesters in Massachusetts.  Highlights include:

    The time Maya made an in-person FOIA request to NEMLEC -- the
Northeastern Massachusetts Law Enforcement Council.  NEMLEC wasn't
sure how to respond to an in-person request, so they called 911.
    An agency proposed a $400 fee to process a public records request.
The agency takes the $400, but never produces the records.
    How the city of Boston wanted to charge $10,000 to produce emails
between the city, and the Massachusetts Municipal Association
    How Massachusetts public records laws aren't "real laws", in the
sense that they're routinely violated, and the violating party is
never punished.
    The level of apathy and disdain that the Secretary of the
Commonwealth has for Massachusetts public records laws.
    The really neat things you can find out, if you manage to get your
public records request fulfilled.


Maya's talk was record on June 25, 2016, during PirateCon 2016.

A year later, Trudeau will only revisit electoral reform if pushed by
other parties — something MPs don't buy
PM says proportional representation would divide MPs, be harmful to Canadians

YES FOLKS, I was elected to help you,but to my own interest electoral
reform will not work for me or my voter base, therefore take my
promise and kinda forget about it,

the honorable Justin Trudeau
better know as what I promise means nothing,just a election plot

Electoral Reform Meeting 39

The Chair:
Thank you very much.
Mr. David Amos, the floor is yours.

Mr. David Amos (As an Individual):
Mr. Chair, I ran for public office five times against your party.

That said, I ran against Mr. DeCourcey's boss right here in
Fredericton in the election for the 39th Parliament.

I was not aware of this committee meeting in Fredericton today  until
I heard Mr. DeCourcey speaking on CBC this morning. I don't  pretend
to know something I don't, but I'm a quick study. I thought I
had paid my dues to sit on the panel. I notified the clerks in a
timely fashion, but I received no response. At least I get another
minute and a half.

The previous speaker answered the $64,000 question: 338. I can  name
every premier in the country. Governor Maggie Hassan is my  governor
in New Hampshire. The people there who sit in the house get  paid $100
a year plus per diem expenses. I think that's the way to run  a
government. There are lots of seats in the house for a very small
state.

My understanding of this hearing is that you have to report to Mr.
Trudeau by December 1, because he said during the election that if he
were elected Prime Minister, the 42nd Parliament, which I also ran in,
 would be the last first-past-the-post election. You don't have much
time, so my suggestion to the clerks today, which I published and sent
 to the Prime Minister of Iceland and his Attorney General, was to do
what Iceland does. Just cut and paste their rules. They have no first
past the post. They have a pending election.
David Amos
David Amos
@David Amos
           A former friend of mine, Birgitta Jónsdóttir, founded a
party there, for which there is no leader. It is the Pirate Party.
It's high in the polls right now with no leader. That's interesting. I
tweeted this. You folks said that you follow tweets, so you should
have seen  what I tweeted before I came here this evening.

          That said, as a Canadian, I propose something else. Number
one, my understanding of the Constitution and what I read about
law.... There was a constitutional expert named Edgar Schmidt who sued
the government. He was the man who was supposed to vet bills for Peter
MacKay to make sure they were constitutionally correct. He did not
argue the charter. He argued Mr. Diefenbaker's Bill of Rights.

           In 2002 I read a document filed by a former deputy minister
of finance, Kevin Lynch, who later became Mr. Harper's clerk of the
Privy Council. Now he's on an independent board of the Chinese oil
company that bought Nexen. As deputy minister of finance, he reported
to the  American Securities and Exchange Commission on behalf of the
corporation known as Canada. It is a very interesting document that I
saved and forwarded to you folks. It says that he was in a quandary
about whether the charter was in effect.
(2005)
David Amos
David Amos
@David Amos

The Chair:
Could it be in relation to a particular voting system?

Mr. David Amos:
According to Mr. Lynch, because of the failure of the Meech Lake and
Charlottetown accords, he was in a quandary as to whether the charter
was in effect. I know that the Supreme Court argues it on a daily
basis. That charter, created by Mr. Trudeau and Mr. Chrétien, his
attorney general at the time, gave me the right to run for public
office and vote as a Canadian citizen. However, in the 1990s, Mr.
Chrétien came out with a law, and because I am a permanent American
resident, I can't vote. Yet the charter says I can.

The Chair:
That's a—

Mr. David Amos:
That said, that's been argued in court. In 2000, Mr. Chrétien came out
with a law that said I couldn't vote. Right? He also took away my
social insurance number.

The Chair:
I don't know about the case—

Mr. David Amos:
No, he did.

The Chair:
But I don't know about the case.

Mr. David Amos:
I did prove, after I argued with Elections Canada's lawyers in
2004.... You might have taken away my right to vote, but you can't
stop me from running for public office, and I proved it five times.

The Chair:
Given that you're an experienced candidate—

Mr. David Amos:
Very experienced.

The Chair:
—does that experience provide you with a particular insight on the
voting systems we're looking at?

Mr. David Amos:
In Mr. Trudeau's words, he has to come up with a plan and no more
first past the post. My suggestion to you, in my contact today, is to
cut and paste Iceland's rules.
David Amos
David Amos
@David Amos
The Chair:
What kind of system does Iceland have?

Mr. David Amos:
It's just what you need, just what Mr. Trudeau is ordering now. It's
proportional elections.

The Chair:
Is it MMP, or is it just...?

Mr. David Amos:
I tweeted you the beginner's book for Iceland.

The Chair:
Okay, we'll look at Iceland.
We're just checking on the kind of system they have, but I appreciate
the input, especially from a candidate, from somebody who has run many
times.
But we do have—

Mr. David Amos:
I have two other points, because I don't think you can pull this off.
I don't think it will happen.

The Chair:
Well, I'm hoping we do.

Mr. David Amos:
Here is my suggestion. You guys are going north.

The Chair:
Yes.

Mr. David Amos:
Look how parliamentarians are elected in the Northwest
Territories. There is no party, and I like that.

The Chair:
That's true. We were just up in Yellowknife, in fact, and we learned
all about that. That's why it's good for us to be travelling the
country.
But, sir, I—

Mr. David Amos:
I have one more suggestion.

The Chair:
One more.

Mr. David Amos:
Mr. Harper changed the Canada Elections Act and I still couldn't vote.

The Chair:
Yes, I was in the House when that happened.

David Amos
David Amos
@David Amos
Mr. David Amos:
Anyway, that said, when you alter the Canada Elections Act, make it....
The biggest problem we have is, look at the vast majority of people
who, like me, have never voted in their life. Apathy rules the day.

The Chair:
Except that you've put us on to an idea about Iceland—

Mr. David Amos:
Let me finish.
I suggest that you make voting mandatory, such as Australia does. Make
it that if you don't vote, it costs you money, just like if you don't
report to Statistics Canada.

The Chair:
Well, we're talking about that. That is part of our mandate, to look
at mandatory voting and online voting.
You already had your last suggestion.
(2010)

Mr. David Amos:
Put in the line, “none of the above”, and if “none of the above” wins—

The Chair:
That's right, we've heard that, too.

Mr. David Amos:
Well, I haven't.

The Chair:
We've heard that in our testimony.

Mr. David Amos:
You and I will be talking again, trust me on that one, by way of writing.
You answered my emails, Ma'am.

The Chair:
Thank you very much, sir.
Now we'll hear from Julie Maitland.

UNB Appoints Ian Peach Dean of Law

The University of New Brunswick is pleased to announce that Ian Peach
has been appointed the Dean of the Faculty of Law.  Dean Peach's terms
will commence officially on August 1st, 2010.  Please join us in
welcoming Mr. Peach and his family to the UNB Law and Fredericton
communities.

A Maritimer by birth, Ian Peach received his B.A. from Dalhousie
University before going to Queen's University for his LL.B.  Since
graduating in the 1980's, he has held a number of senior positions
with federal, provincial, and territorial governments in Canada and at
the University of Regina.  His specialties are constitutional law,
Aboriginal law, federalism and intergovernmental relations, and
Aboriginal policy and self-government negotiations.

Mr. Peach articled with the Constitutional Law Branch of the Ontario
Ministry of the Attorney General and, immediately upon completion of
his Bar Admission tests, began work with the House of Commons on the
first of two Parliamentary committees on constitutional reform
established in the wake of the defeat of the Meech Lake Accord.  He
was then hired as a negotiator for the Government of the Yukon in the
Charlottetown Accord negotiations and was involved in the negotiation
of both the First Ministers' Agreement and the accompanying legal
text.

His experience in the Charlottetown Accord negotiations led him to a
position in the Department of Intergovernmental Relations in
Saskatchewan, where he quickly rose to be Director of the
Constitutional Relations Branch.  There, his work focused primarily on
national unity issues, at the time of the 1995 Quebec referendum on
independence and its aftermath, and Aboriginal self-government.  He
transferred to Saskatchewan Executive Council to become a Senior
Policy Advisor to the Premier and the Cabinet Committee on Planning
and Priorities in 1997, where he worked on a wide variety of legal and
policy issues across government, including Aboriginal self-government
negotiations, a number of federal-provincial and First
Nations-provincial negotiations, and strategic planning and
performance management processes for government.  During this period,
Mr. Peach was also part of the team that drafted the Saskatchewan
Government's factum in the Quebec Secession Reference before the
Supreme Court of Canada.

After several years in Executive Council, Mr. Peach was appointed the
2003-04 Government of Saskatchewan Senior Policy Fellow at the
Saskatchewan Institute of Public Policy, a policy research institute
based at the University of Regina.  He remained at the Institute for
four years, becoming Research Director and, on January 1, 2005,
Director of the Institute.  In his time as Director, he significantly
expanded the size, level of activity, and impact of the Institute,
connecting the Institute to scholarly networks across Canada and
around the world.  He also published extensively during this period
and taught several courses at both the undergraduate and graduate
levels while Director of the Institute.

His reputation as Director led to his being invited in 2007 to create
an Aboriginal Policy Research Network at the Office of the Federal
Interlocutor for Métis and Non-Status Indians, to increase the level
of policy-relevant scholarship on issues of concern to Métis,
non-status Indians and urban Aboriginal people.

While working at the Office of the Federal Interlocutor, Mr. Peach
also returned to Queen's University to undertake the LL.M. program,
receiving his LL.M. in the autumn of 2009.  Having successfully
launched that Research Network and managed it through its first two
years of growth, Mr. Peach left the Office of the Federal Interlocutor
to become an Associate at KTA Consulting and the KTA Centre for
Collaborative Government, where he remained until taking up his
current appointment as Dean of Law at the University of New Brunswick.

Need I say that the class action answering machine and Michael Ram's
assistant really pissed me off? You dudes picked this fight with
GOOGLE not I. My concerns about GOOGLE'S severe lack of integrity and
due diligence as a publicly held corporation are far more serious than
yours. Furthermore everybody and his dog knows just how much I love to
sue lawyers.  As I said exclude me from your nonsense. In my humble
opinion if you are wise you would check my work rather closely then
try to make friends with me ASAP. EH David Kotz and Rick Skinner?

Clearly I read your work.

officer, a pleasant-mannered man named Stephen Perley, informed me
that Chief Stewart Paul had decided I was not permitted on the reserve
- under any circumstances.
"I was instructed by my chief," Perley said firmly, "not to let you
into the community."
The security officer explained the chief put the ban into effect
following a series of stories in the Telegraph-Journal this fall about
the finances of Tobique First Nation. Those stories detailed
long-standing and serious financial "deficiencies" in record-keeping
practices and the management of public funds in the aboriginal
community of 1,600 people.
With a crippling $45-million debt - some of which is money the band
can't account for - Tobique faces some long-term challenges.
Unemployment is as high as 80 per cent.
Efforts to rein in the debt load has affected some of the community's
weakest individuals - including 88-year-old Lillian Deveau, who had
her home care cut.
The series of stories detailed:
* that more than $400,000 earmarked for child protection services on
the reserve has gone missing;
* how auditors going through annual financial statements for the band
found "significant deficiencies" - including instances of fraud and
theft of band money dating back to 2007;
* that more than $500,000 earmarked for the construction of a
rehabilitation centre on the reserve is unaccounted for;
* how a forensic audit of Tobique's finances was stalled this summer
because, auditors said, financial documents were missing and native
leaders weren't co-operating.
Both the current chief and the previous chief, Gerald Bear, have told
me that they did cooperate with forensic auditors and that they have
no knowledge of the misuse of funds.
The security man, Stephen Perley, described the series outlining these
issues as "negative" and said that the community "doesn't need the bad
publicity" about its affairs.
He had been called, he said, to ask photographer David Smith and I to
leave the community after we had visited various public offices in
Tobique looking to speak with band officials. He had been told what
type of car we were driving and the licence plate number.
The security man caught up with Smith at about 4 p.m. Thursday while
he was alone taking pictures near the community gas station. I had
left the reserve and was on my way back when Smith called to say he
had been stopped by security.
He was told to inform me that I was barred from entering Tobique First Nation.
The security man threatened to confiscate photographer Smith's gear,
but later relented and invited him to remain in the community, under
band supervision, to take pictures of "positive" local projects,
including a new health centre, a school under construction and a youth
centre.
I called Perley on his cellphone to find out exactly why I was being
banned. He did not waiver.
"We're allowing the photographer," he said. "Don't come here. You only
write negative stories."
The truth is, I've written countless stories about New Brunswick's
native reserves that didn't detail financial "deficiencies" or the
misuse of funds. Last winter, I spent five weeks on the road
travelling to each of the province's 15 First Nations and then wrote a
lengthy profile on each.
The Tobique profile highlighted the fact that fewer than 10 per cent
of the people in the community still speak their native Maliseet
language. It also detailed various local efforts to save their
language from extinction.
Since then, the newspaper had followed up with several other stories
about initiatives designed to bolster the Maliseet language.
Nonetheless, the security man told me this week that people in the
community didn't want a reporter hanging around asking questions.
Former Tobique First Nation band councillor David Perley said that
just isn't true and was surprised to hear that a Telegraph-Journal
reporter had been barred from entering the community because certain
individuals in the community didn't approve of the newspaper coverage.
"I'm shocked that they would go to these extremes of banning you from
the community," he told me after I had reached him by phone.
Perley said he's disappointed that Chief Stewart Paul would block the
freedom of the press.
"That doesn't happen in a democracy," he said. "This is a
dictatorship. I just can't get over it. I just can't believe it, not
this day in age. (The band leadership) is ignoring the drug dealers.
There is such a drug problem in Tobique - and (they are) banning
people who try to get the truth out."
Perley said the band is required to convene a meeting and pass a
resolution in order to ban an individual from the community.
"If they don't have that," he said, "whatever they're doing is illegal."
Perley isn't aware of any meeting that has taken place to pass such a
resolution.
"The chief has no authority to do that on his own," he said.
Stewart Paul, a lawyer, has been chief for 13 of the past 20 years and
was re-elected in band election earlier this month. I tried reaching
him, without success. My messages were left unanswered.
I did reach Daniel Theriault, a Fredericton lawyer who specializes in
aboriginal law and treaty rights. He agreed that the Indian Act does
contain a provision that gives chief and council the right to ban an
individual from a reserve, but that a resolution or bylaw has to be
passed first.
"The bottom line is, yes, in my opinion, they do have the right to ban
people from the reserve," Theriault said. "However, it's generally
used to stop a criminal element from frequenting or residing on the
reserve."
According to the Indian Act, a band council may pass a bylaw for the
"removal or punishment of persons trespassing or frequenting the
reserve for prohibitive reasons."
A ban, Theriault said, would extend to any public roads built on
reserve land - including Route 105 that cuts through Tobique First
Nation on the way north to Grand Falls.
The band is required to notify the department of Indian and Northern
Affairs if it passes a bylaw prohibiting someone from the reserve, he
said. He had never heard of a band barring a member of the media.
I asked Indian and Northern Affairs if a band council and chief had
the right to prohibit an individual from entering a reserve.
Spokeswoman Margot Geduld referred to section 30 of the Indian Act,
which states "a person who trespasses on a reserve is guilty of an
offence."
The issue, she added, is that "trespass" isn't defined in the act.
"A court of law would have to determine that," Geduld said.
Security man Stephen Perley cited the Indian Act to photographer Dave
Smith when he threatened to confiscate his camera equipment. Perley
made no mention of trespassing or of a band council resolution.
The newspaper stories that have apparently caused me to be banned
relied heavily on audit documents that had been sent to the newspaper
by concerned citizens - people who live in Tobique.
After those stories were published, residents posted them on the
bulletin board inside the gaming facility for all to see.
In the days following those reports, band members have continued to
contact the newspaper.
Throughout my reporting for stories about Tobique's social conditions
and financial affairs, I knocked on many doors in the community.
Most residents didn't want to publicly voice their concerns. They said
they didn't want to be quoted in the newspaper because they were
afraid. Some declined to be interviewed out fear of losing their band
jobs; others were afraid of losing their house or any benefit overseen
by the band.
My stories have attempted to give those residents a voice.

It is small wonder to mean old me that the very corrupt FEDS want a
publication ban on this corrupt cop BULLSHIT in the Pictou area. Hell
everybody and his dog knows that there has been a publication ban on
my work and even my name since 2002 and I ran for Public Office four
times. REMEMBER WHY Cecil Clarke?  If any of you wish to recall I did
run against Jamie's hero the former Attorney General the ex cop and
now ex MLA Murray Scott Look below to see that was nearly a year after
I sent his buddy the long dead and very corrupt lawyer Mikey Baker and
their old boss the "Not So Good" Dr Hamm hundreds of documents and one

That was long before the very corrupt ex RCMP dude Ross Landry ever
became a blip on my radar screen or even before the nasty FED cop had
a spit and chew with many local cops who were appaulled byt the RCMP
WAY of ignoring the LAW. Can you and the lawyers tell that I read a

I did try hard to talk to you last fall. Ask David Rodenhiser. That
said I think you Emera dudes are crazy not to at least try to settle
with me before I decided to raise the stakes in your wicked game.
Please don't think me dumb I saw you checking me out whilst we talked
and I could tell that you believed every word I said.

FYI the reason I was so pissed off was a few days earlier a host of
very corrupt cops in seven cars pounced my son and I at 2:30 in the
morning right after the David Alward and the PCs won their big
mandate. As you can see I have reloaded some of my old videos that
were maliciously deleted just as the writ was dropped. Surf through
and you will see your face Mr Spurr You seemed like an ok guy on the
phone but so did the former Attorney General Mikey Murphy before he
and his pals sent all the corrupt cops to attack me. If nothing you
should deny that we talked on the 6th and that quite some time before
I opted to upload a video about you Ermera dudes again and reintroduce
myself to big talking activists in BC.

Mr. Amos,

I confirm that I have received your documentation.

There is no need to send us a hard copy. As you have said yourself,
the documentation is very voluminous and after 3 days, we are still in
the process of printing it.

I have asked one of my lawyers to review it in my absence and report
back to me upon my return in the office. We will then provide you with
a reply.

I did not receive a response from you to the last email so I am not

told you when you called a lot has been happening. I have made a lot
of cops mad at me and I don't trust them a bit particularly after the
Police Commission is willing to check their work so i have been busy
watching my back and covering my butt. However that does not mean that
I have not thought about our conversation and was curious about a few
things.

I was glad to receive your call and impressed by the fact that you
were more than willing to receive the material and a copy of the
wiretap tape in particular. Your stated willingness to uphold the law
was a rare statement to me. However I was curious why you only
mentioned my voicemail to Mr. Pozen and not the email to your company
and the news program that it owns. Did they not inform you as well? If
they didn't I am not surprised because I have some other rather
interesting denials from the Media. the most interesting would have to
be from the PBS program called Frontline when I introduced its
producer Michael Sullivan to the US Attorney Michael J. Sullivan. Now
that is a story well worth W5 telling. Too bad they showed me their
ass. As a courtesy to you and a further act of good faith, I will not
forward this email to anyone else until after I return to the USA and
nothing has been resolved between BCE and I and I am compelled to name
it in my complaint. I would find it very hard to believe that Mr,
Pozen does not know everything he needs to know about me right now.

I had also called a lawyer, Steven Skurka who had a week long little
special on CTV . I had tried to inform him that I knew my rights his
assistant hollered at me. You from speaking to me yourself that I am
not a rude character. I found it too funny to be treated that way and
I had resolved to serve him this stuff byway of the local ATV Station
that had presented his smiling talking head to me. That is why I was
telling you that you could get this stuff from the local ATV station.
I found it quite strange that you did not rely on them to send it on
to you. Thus I must make an extra copy to comply with your request.

I know the date stamp on the forwarded email is incorrect but that is
because my old laptop goes to the first year in it when I boot up and
sometimes I am too busy or tired to bother changing it. However MSN
tracks it with the true date. Brad Smith and I have a bone to pick as
well and I have been checking his work rather closely since he ignored
my letter to him last year. His boss Bill Gates is gonna be very angry
and Brad Smith and Steve Balmer in the near future if I have anything
to do with it. If you do act ethically and immediately I will settle
with your company very cheaply in comparsion to the bottom lines of my
first two complaints. In fact I will be so impressed I will
immediatlely offer you a better job than the one you have now. Please
study the material I will provide you closely and ask me any thing you
wish.

I will do as I promised and send the material you requested as soon as
I can put it all together. Right now I am on the move and far away
from my printer. Is the following your correct address? Perhaps you
should consider sending someone to the my meeting with the Police
Commission in Fredericton next week in order to hear me speak of these
matters to law enforcement before I return to the USA. Once I do
return there I will serve the Mr. Pozen the material as promised and
call him to testify in my pending trial. The following emails should
explain some of my concerns to you. My wife will be in Canada next
week as well to pick up our kids. I will allow you to speak to her if
you wish. She has had a nervous breakdown over the legal crap and I do
have her Durable Power of Attorney pursuant to M.G.L. 201 B. Mr. Pozen
can ask Robert S. Creedon Jr. about that document. I argued it with
him before the entire Judicuary Commitee on Sept. 18th 2003.

I will call you in a minute to make certain that you get this and the
following emails.

For the Record I gave the Irving "Rag called the Gleaner" in Fat Fred
City and the CBC dudes in Toronto copies of the following lawsuits in
the USA in 2002 long before I gave some material to Bellglobemedia
byway of their W-Five yo yos. Clearly nobody knows how to read if they
don't think I ain't sued folks before EH?

Ask W-Five or their lawyers if I am a liar or not. Better yet ask
Stevey Boy Murphy or Andy Campbell in Fat Fred City if they dare to
chaleenge the truth. If all else fails and you bloggers seek counsel
you can trust why not ask Chucky Leblanc or your "Blogger General"
T.J. Burke he received the same documents on June 24th, 2004 the day
Danny boy Busierres and the Fat Fred City Finest attempted to banish
me from the LEG but it ain't worked out to well for them yet EH Chucky
Leblanc? However chucky was quick to report that I was banished the
following day and ain't said apeep about it since. Who to you think
told him not to talk about it? Kelly lamrock, T.J. Burke. the Irvings
or all three?

FYI W-Five took an interest in my matters at about the same time
Chretien's underling was calling Bush a moron.(I oftern call myself an
oxymoron Methinks somebody has been studing my words EH?) I supported
Chretein's underling's thinking in two affidavits demanding judgements
by default filed in the following dockets on December 12th, 2002.

The following day Cardinal Law (Methinks that is why chucky hates me
so) quit Beantown and ran off to the Holy See. Years later he helped
pick the latest Pope(a former Hitler Youth who is making his bones
with the croooked little Georgey Boy Bush Jr. right now in the USA.)

Never Forget the Queen is the protector of the Faith of the Church of
England . She would not allow her family's assests to be stolen and
given to the catholic Church. Why should I act any different?

Subject: possble story


I am a Canadian Citizen who thus far, as a plaintiff, has two Lawsuits
in the US District Court of Massachucetts they are numbered 02-11686-
RGS and 02-11687-RGS.

They were removed to that Court from the Norfolk Superior Court by the
US Attorney Michael J. Sullivan very improperly. However they shall
remain there because of my status as a Canandian Citizen. Judge Sterns
has not even held a Conference about the matters because he likely
does not want to hear the matter because I have presented all Members
of the Bar with their worst fear of a catch 22 problem.

Accordinging to law he is late. I have complained of 47 defendants 34
of whom are State Defendants( the Attorney General, The Commission of
Judicial Conduct Board of Bar Overseers etc) and 3 are Federal
Treasury Agents. Some of the defendants are over two months late in
their answer to the Summons.

The smallest suit amounts to 188 million dollars in the form of
relief. There is a lot to these matters and too much to briefly
explain. But in a nutshell my wife's Aunt, who is buried beside Rose
Kennedy, left my wife some money. It was stolen by her relatives in
executing the estate. No news there. But the crooks are very well
connected politically and every part of the old crony network in
Boston covered for them.

The crook and our cousin, Charles J. Kickham Jr of the Kickham Law
Office on Beacon St, has been past President of Bar Associations. He
has sat on the Board of Governors of Harvard Law School etc. I have
given much information to many members of the press who have simply
ignored some interesting facts.

What should be somewhat newsworthy is how far a wild colonial boy has
come in prosecuting Pro Se the most profund Yankee carpetbaggers. My
next two lawsuits Under title 18 are wickedly righteous. I have left
one copy of much information in Saint John New Brunswick at a lawyer's
Office, Mosher and Chedore 33 Charlotte St if some one wishes to view
them. I can be reached at this Cell number 506 434- 1379

First things first meet Lenny Gold, Dougy Foster and Joey Podwika. You
can be certain that these wicked bastards know exactly who I am and
are no doubt quite nervous that the Feds have not figured out a way to
shut me up yet.

Everybody knows that far away corporate lawyers such as these three
stooges have been making the big score off us dumb Maritimers forever
and a day and have been laughing their nasty arses off at us all the
way to their buddies' bank. They appear to fear only one Maritimer and
that is yours truly. Ask them if I am liar or not as I speak of the
Bank Fraud Tax Fraud, Securities Fraud and Murders that you are afraid
to talk about. Shawn Graham should know everthing he partied hardy
with my G.A.L. Brian Bixby's Law firm in Beantown one year ago and I
effected an introduction with the lawyer Leonard Gold because that
very dumb Maritimer came to Beantown to talk to many evil Yankees ten
times more worldly wise than Shawny Baby ever could be.

Your laments Bobby Baby about lost water really rot my socks. You
should know I covered that base years ago and everybody just ran away
scared. Ask the Minister Larry Cannon why I laughed when he gave out a
little federal gold just before Bernie Lord had the writ dropped in
2006 in the provincial election. It was very telling thing just like
all the money being passed out right now.

I noticed that you and all you NDP pals ignored the fact that I ran in
that election as well as the Fed one and the one in Nova Scotia
earlier that year. Yea I saw you and Pat Hannratty ducking  out the
back just as I walked in that night in January of 2006. Why you didn't
answer my friend Jack's letter either spoke to your personal integrity
EH? If Rob Moore or none of the Conservatives on the Hill faraway
won't talk to you just ask the lawyer Smith in Saint John the boss of
the NB Securities Commission if I didn't raise a little Hell while he
filled the other lawyer Nicholson's boots in PUB just long enough to
cram the pipeline through to the trunk while the election was on and I
was intervening in the pipeline matter in Saint John at the same time
and Norm Miller and his lawyer ignored my arguments but read my words
about it all on the web all the same.

Better yet why not have some fun and ask the very strange PCS dudes in
Sussex why they had my photo posted at the gate and the RCMP were to
be called if I made an appearance there while I was running against
your pal John Carty in Fat Fred City. Your clue to their malice is UBS
and another lawyer named Dave Aufhauser whom I have been battling with
for six long years. Do you even know who he is? Rest assured Lenny,
Dougy and Joey do.

Whereas you trust the words of the very malicious CBC or the Irvings
and not mine read what the CBC were saying one year ago. Then read
what the local Irving rag wrote about me four god damned years ago.

For the record Bobby Baby I still remember you commenting on the
trouble I was having with the Feds so that my minor son could return
to the USA to comfort his mother and how little milk of human kindness
you have had in your greedy little PHD soul ever since. Can ya tell I
don't like you not even a little bit?

http://www.cbc.ca/canada/new-brunswick/story/2007/03/27/nb-mccullyfield.html

Read on Teacher pay particular attention to my words about oil and
gas.and crossborder public corruption. For the record I have always
considered the water in Penobsquis a federal matter concerning the NEB
and if they ignore me then maybe i would take it up in the Federal
Court. It won't go anywhere though if Maritimers don't finally wise up
start listening to me.


FYI I have started to upload some of my ducument for the public to
view. They can be found here and there will be a great deal more to
follow as my time allows.

http://www.scribd.com/people/view/554842-david-raymond-amos

This Maritimer Danny Boy Fitzgeral who is studying for his PHD in
Holland made several interesting blogs about me as he attacked my
integrity. In the end methinks I may have turned him my way and in
return I left his school out of my battles.

Perhaps you should study them sometime EH Teacher? You should take
careful notice that college degrees mean less than nothing to me. Just
like any true Maritimer it is fighters, foresters, farmers and
fishermen I admire not rich snots that do not understand the meaning
of hard work. That said it does appear that Danny Boy does work very
hard on his blog. I do know how long such things take and his blog is
a fine and as fancy as anyones and constantly updated. I particularly
apprciate the fact he leaves his comments open without moderation.

Also for the record I signed your Fake Left friends' petition.

Penobsquis Deserves Safe Water

98  Fran Oliver There is no excuse for this situation. A responsible
provincial government and a responsible corporation would never allow
local families to bear the financial and social burden, likely
resulting from a provincial mining operation, while government and
corporation choke on huge profits.

gate while I ran for Parliament will ya?

My friends tell me tha the Photo the PCS dudes had posted as some sort
of criminal the RCMP were watching out for was clipped from the pages
of the Kings County Record that contained the following articles.

The following email and two deleted blogs can be found within one
pigheaded Maritimer's blog about government injustice. After the
Irvings had his pal's Chucky Leblanc' former blog wiped out I had to
tease and torture him into doing the right thing and allowing just one
of my comments to stand. Some much for Freedom on Speech on the
Internet when even Maritime bloggers are unethical  EH teacher?

For the record only the Gypsy and Danny Boy fitzgerald have allowed
all of my comments to stand the test of time and ethics. Thus far so I
must give credit where credit is due. Your chosen profession such as
it is should at least understand that EH Mr. Moir?

Here is my last post in the blogs tonight. Obviously I do not pretend
to be somebody I am not. N'est Pas?

Hello Lisa,

David Amos asked me to contact you. I met him last June after he became
an independent (not representing any political party) candidate in our federal
election that was held June 28. He was a candidate in our constituency of
Fundy (now called  Fundy-Royal).

I wrote a profile story about him, as I did all other candidates. That
story appeared in the Kings County Record June 22. A second story, written
by one of my reporters, appeared on the same date, which was a report on
the candidates' debate held June 18.

As I recall David Amos came last of four candidates in the election.
The winner got 14,997 votes, while Amos got 358.

I have attached the two stories that appeared, as well as a photo
taken by reporter Erin Hatfield during the debate. I couldn't find the photo
that ran, but this one is very similar.

Raising a Little Hell- Lively Debate Provokes Crowd

By Erin Hatfield

"If you don't like what you got, why don't you change it? If your
world is all screwed up, rearrange it."

The 1979 Trooper song Raise a Little Hell blared on the speakers at
the 8th Hussars Sports Center Friday evening as people filed in to
watch the Fundy candidates debate the issues. It was an accurate, if
unofficial, theme song for the debate.

The crowd of over 200 spectators was dwarfed by the huge arena, but as
they chose their seats, it was clear the battle lines were drawn.
Supporters of Conservative candidate Rob Moore naturally took the blue
chairs on the right of the rink floor while John Herron's Liberalswent
left. There were splashes of orange, supporters of NDP Pat Hanratty,
mixed throughout. Perhaps the loudest applause came from a row towards
the back, where supporters of independent candidate David Amos sat.

The debate was moderated by Leo Melanson of CJCW Radio and was
organized by the Sussex Valley Jaycees. Candidates wereasked a barrage
of questions bypanelists Gisele McKnight of the Kings County Record
and Lisa Spencer of CJCW.

Staying true to party platforms for the most part, candidates
responded to questions about the gun registry, same sex marriage, the
exodus of young people from the Maritimes and regulated gas prices.
Herron and Moore were clear competitors,constantly challenging each
other on their answers and criticizing eachothers' party leaders.
Hanratty flew under the radar, giving short, concise responses to the
questions while Amos provided some food for thought and a bit of comic
relief with quirky answers. "I was raised with a gun," Amos said in
response to the question of thenational gun registry. "Nobody's
getting mine and I'm not paying 10 cents for it."

Herron, a Progressive Conservative MP turned Liberal, veered from his
party'splatform with regard to gun control. "It was ill advised but
well intentioned," Herron said. "No matter what side of the house I am
on, I'm voting against it." Pat Hanratty agreed there were better
places for the gun registry dollars to be spent.Recreational hunters
shouldn't have been penalized by this gun registry," he said.

The gun registry issues provoked the tempers of Herron and Moore. At
one point Herron got out of his seat and threw a piece of paper in
front of Moore. "Read that," Herron said to Moore, referring to the
voting record of Conservative Party leader Steven Harper. According to
Herron, Harper voted in favour of the registry on the first and second
readings of the bill in 1995. "He voted against it when it counted, at
final count," Moore said. "We needa government with courage to
register sex offenders rather than register the property of law
abiding citizens."

The crowd was vocal throughout the evening, with white haired men and
women heckling from the Conservative side. "Shut up John," one woman
yelled. "How can you talk about selling out?" a man yelled whenHerron
spoke about his fear that the Conservatives are selling farmers out.

Although the Liberal side was less vocal, Kings East MLA Leroy
Armstrong weighed in at one point. "You're out of touch," Armstrong
yelled to Moore from the crowd when the debate turned to the cost of
post-secondary education. Later in the evening Amos challenged
Armstrong to a public debate of their own. "Talk is cheap. Any time,
anyplace," Armstrong responded.

As the crowd made its way out of the building following the debate,
candidates worked the room. They shook hands with well-wishers and
fielded questions from spectators-all part of the decision-making
process for the June 28 vote.

favourite possessions—motorcycles.

The Unconventional Candidate

David Amos Isn't Campaigning For Your Vote, But….

By Gisele McKnight

FUNDY—He has a pack of cigarettes in his shirt pocket, a chain on his
wallet, a beard at least a foot long, 60 motorcycles and a cell phone
that rings to the tune of "Yankee Doodle."

Meet the latest addition to the Fundy ballot—David Amos.

The independent candidate lives in Milton, Massachusetts with his wife
and two children, but his place of residence does not stop him from
running for office in Canada.

One has only to be at least 18, a Canadian citizen and not be in jail
to meet Elections Canada requirements.

When it came time to launch his political crusade, Amos chose his
favourite place to do so—Fundy.

Amos, 52, is running for political office because of his
dissatisfaction with politicians.

"I've become aware of much corruption involving our two countries," he
said. "The only way to fix corruption is in the political forum."

The journey that eventually led Amos to politics began in Sussex in
1987. He woke up one morning disillusioned with life and decided he
needed to change his life.

"I lost my faith in mankind," he said. "People go through that
sometimes in midlife."

So Amos, who'd lived in Sussex since 1973, closed his Four Corners
motorcycle shop, paid his bills and hit the road with Annie, his 1952
Panhead motorcycle.

"Annie and I rode around for awhile (three years, to be exact)
experiencing the milk of human kindness," he said. "This is how you
renew your faith in mankind – you help anyone you can, you never ask
for anything, but you take what they offer."

For those three years, they offered food, a place to sleep, odd jobs
and conversation all over North America.

Since he and Annie stopped wandering, he has married, fathered a son
and a daughter and become a house-husband – Mr. Mom, as he calls
himself.

He also describes himself in far more colourful terms—a motorcyclist
rather than a biker, a "fun-loving, free-thinking, pig-headed
individual," a "pissed-off Maritimer" rather than an activist, a proud
Canadian and a "wild colonial boy."

Ironically, the man who is running for office has never voted in his life.

"But I have no right to criticize unless I offer my name," he said.
"It's alright to bitch in the kitchen, but can you walk the walk?"

Amos has no intention of actively campaigning.

"I didn't appreciate it when they (politicians) pounded on my door
interrupting my dinner," he said. "If people are interested, they can
call me. I'm not going to drive my opinions down their throats."

And he has no campaign budget, nor does he want one.

"I won't take any donations," he said. "Just try to give me some. It's
not about money. It goes against what I'm fighting about."

What he's fighting for is the discussion of issues – tainted blood,
the exploitation of the Maritimes' gas and oil reserves and NAFTA, to
name a few.

"The political issues in the Maritimes involve the three Fs – fishing,
farming and forestry, but they forget foreign issues," he said. "I'm
death on NAFTA, the back room deals and free trade. I say chuck it
(NAFTA) out the window.

NAFTA is the North American Free Trade Agreement which allows an
easier flow of goods between Canada, the United States and Mexico.

Amos disagrees with the idea that a vote for him is a wasted vote.

"There are no wasted votes," he said. "I want people like me,
especially young people, to pay attention and exercise their right.
Don't necessarily vote for me, but vote."

Although…if you're going to vote anyway, Amos would be happy to have
your X by his name.

"I want people to go into that voting booth, see my name, laugh and
say, 'what the hell.'"

RCMP say 'organized crime' groups extorting N.B. teens using intimate images shared online

 

Cpl. Hans Ouellette says RCMP saw a recent spike in online extortion reports of youth in Moncton area

The individuals, likely part of "organized crime groups," are targeting youth — particularly boys — by convincing them to share intimate photos and videos of themselves, and then demanding money in exchange for agreeing to not share them with friends and family, said RCMP spokesperson Hans Ouellette.

"They could be asking for money in the form of actual cash, gift cards, e-currency, Ouellette said.

"They're basically threatening our youth, or our victims that are getting caught up into this, with ... sharing those intimate images if they don't pay up."

Ouellette said the RCMP originally shared a news release last November saying that its internet child exploitation (ICE) unit was investigating "several" reports of online extortion targeting youth for financial gain across the province.

On Tuesday, the RCMP updated that release to remind parents to talk to their children about internet safety in light of a "spike" in such reports coming from the Moncton region.

"It's important that victims not pay any money and should block the individual as soon as possible," says the RCMP said.

"If you suspect someone is trying to extort you, report it to your local police."

Boys 92 % of victims, says child protection centre

Last August the Canadian Centre for Child Protection reported that its Cybertip.ca helpline had been receiving "an unprecedented volume of reports" from youth, and sometimes their concerned parents, about falling prey to aggressive "sextortion" tactics.

The organization said an analysis also found that boys or young men make up 92 per cent of the victims in online sexual extortion reports, with the victims reporting Instagram and Snapchat as the most commonly used social media platforms for the communication.

"Youth (young men in particular) are often tricked into believing they are talking to a young girl," the centre says on its website.

WATCH | How the drive to make money fuels online luring:

Boys increasingly targeted in sextortion cases: experts

Duration 2:14
Experts with the Canadian Centre for Child Protection say adolescent boys are being increasingly targeted on social media in sexual extortion cases.

The perpetrator will convince the victim to exchange sexual content, or will secretly record the victim engaging in a sexual act over an online livestream broadcast.

The victim will then be asked to send money or risk having the photos or images shared publicly.

The centre says anyone who finds themselves in a siltation where they're being extorted should immediately stop talking to the other person and deactivate — but not delete — any of the accounts they're using to communicate.

"Do not give in to threats. So, never pay money and never send additional nudes," says the Canadian Centre for Child Protection.

The centre advises that victims keep a copy of the messages and information about the perpetrator, such as their username and social media account information, and to reach out to an adult who can help.

Perpetrators likely outside Canada: RCMP

Ouellette said no one has been arrested in connection with any of the online extortion cases that have been reported to them.

Doing so, however, would be difficult for the RCMP considering the perpetrators likely aren't in Canada, he said.

"At this point, what we believe is that these fraudulent profiles are actually being created by organized crime groups overseas," Ouellette said.

He says police are "working with our international law enforcement partners right across the world to further these investigations and try to shut these down."

Police issuing tickets after illegal anti-mask gathering in COVID-hit Zone 4


Video shows police leaving apparent gathering after arguing with man
for 5 minutes
Jacques Poitras · CBC News · Posted: Apr 20, 2021 8:31 PM AT

A man who said his name is Tony Dave Marchand was filmed arguing with
police and peace officers at an apparent illegal gathering he was
attending in Sainte-Anne-de-Madawaska, which is in the part of Zone 4
currently in the red phase restrictions. (Facebook)

Public Safety officers in northwest New Brunswick have started issuing
tickets to members of an anti-mask group who gathered at a private
home last weekend in defiance of the province's mandatory COVID-19
order.

Tony Dave Marchand said officers arrived at his home in Sainte-Anne de
Madawaska late Tuesday afternoon.

A five-minute Facebook video of Marchand confronting six officers last
Friday has gone viral in the northwest, prompting some to complain
that law enforcement isn't doing enough to crack down on rule-breakers
in Zone 4.

"It's no longer time for 'raising awareness' and 'education.' It's
time for the government to enforce the law," Madawaska Les
Lacs-Edmundston Liberal MLA Francine Landry said early Tuesday
afternoon.

Even Health Minister Dorothy Shephard seemed concerned.

"It is my hope that with our Public Safety partners, we would be
addressing serious situations like that," she said.
Officers with the RCMP and Department of Justice and Public Safety
were filmed responding to the scene of an apparent illegal gathering.
(Facebook)

Within hours of those comments, officers arrived at Marchand's home
and at the private home that hosted the gathering last Friday.

Zone 4 continues to post the vast majority of new COVID-19 cases in
the province, a stubborn trend that has persisted despite red-zone
restrictions that took effect March 25 and a full lockdown that
started April 11.

As of Tuesday, 100 of the 139 active cases in New Brunswick were in
Zone 4, and 37 per cent of all cases since the pandemic began were
there.

In an interview Marchand, who rejects the overwhelming scientific
evidence about COVID-19 and vaccines, said he knew the gathering
violated the province's emergency pandemic order.

"I knew it was. Definitely I knew it was. But in the end I knew it
wasn't illegal what I was doing, because of the Charter [of Rights]
that protects us."

    N.B. COVID-19 roundup: Edmundston to enter lockdown, high school
return delayed

    N.B. COVID-19 roundup: First case of blood clot reaction to
vaccine, no new cases reported

In the video, six officers arrive at the home, including provincial
enforcement officers and two RCMP members. Marchand meets them outside
and they tell him they're acting on a complaint based on Section 30
(k) of the emergency order.

It bans indoor or outdoor gatherings "associated with socializing,
celebration, ceremony or entertainment."

In the video, recorded by one of the people at the gathering, Marchand
argues with the officers for five minutes, claiming they have no legal
authority.

"There's no criminal violation," he tells them, stating incorrectly
that "the only time you have a right to do this is with a warrant from
a judge."

In fact, the provincial Emergency Measures Act gives the government
sweeping powers, including the authority to direct police to enter a
property without a warrant.
Police were filmed apparently leaving an illegal gathering. By
Wednesday morning, two people had been fined. (Facebook)

Many legal scholars believe that would survive a charter challenge
under Section 1, which allows "reasonable limits" on individual
freedoms.

Marchand said about 15 people were at the gathering. He said they're
anti-mask activists who were blocked by police from protesting
lockdown measures in Edmundston the previous weekend and ticketed.

"The gathering was to educate people that they have the right to
contest their fines," he said.

The officers asked for the names of everyone at the home but Marchand
refused to provide them. They left with only his name. The group
cheered as they left.

Marchand said, however, that one of the officers was taking down
licence plate numbers during the discussion, and that will allow them
to issue tickets to other people at the gathering.

As of Wednesday morning, only he and the owner of the home had been
fined, but he said he expected others to be ticketed during the day.
Incident 'under investigation'

On Tuesday, the provincial Department of Public Safety refused to
discuss the circumstances in the video.

"This matter is still under investigation and we are unable to comment
further on this particular incident," said spokesperson Coreen Enos.

She did not immediately respond Wednesday to a request for
confirmation that tickets were being issued.

Marchand intends to contest his ticket in court but said he will
refuse to wear a mask and it's up to the court to deal with that.

"If you can't find an alternative, that's not our problem. That
becomes the court's problem."
Madawaska Les Lacs-Edmundston MLA Francine Landry says her
constituents are frustrated by the actions of "very few" in the
community. (CBC)

In a emailed statement, RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Hans Ouellette said the
force "has taken, and continues to take, a measured approach to
encourage and promote compliance" with COVID-19 restrictions.

"Police officers are using their discretion in all situations related
to COVID-19," Ouellette said. "Tickets are issued and other
enforcement actions are being taken when appropriate."

Marchand said he refuses to wear a mask because he is asthmatic and
suffers from other conditions that make it difficult to wear one.

He said he's only able to shop for necessities in some local
convenience stores who have been letting him enter without one. He
would not identify the stores.

Landry said she has received many calls from constituents about the video.

"People are very frustrated by these very, very few individuals who
are not obeying and following the rules," she said.

Marchand said no one in the group has had COVID-19.

David Gordon Koch | Times & Transcript

A small group of protesters clashed with police during a rally against
mandatory public health measures on Sunday afternoon outside Moncton
city hall.

Police appeared to issue multiple tickets and the Times & Transcript
witnessed several arrests. Mounties led one man away from the scene in
handcuffs after he struggled with several police officers. The
situation also grew heated at one point as a police officer appeared
ready to detain a woman, prompting angry reactions from the crowd.

There were approximately two dozen protesters in attendance,some of
them shouting and hurling insults at Mounties. Staff Sgt. Dave
MacDonnell couldn't say how many arrests had been made or tickets
issued by early afternoon, referring questions to the New Brunswick
RCMP.

"We were just there enforcing the Emergency Measures Act, with a
measured approach, as we've been doing all along," he said.

Staff Sgt. Jeff Johnston, a spokesperson for the New Brunswick RCMP,
confirmed that arrests were made and tickets were issued, but didn't
say how many.

Multiple protesters refused to speak on the record to the Times &
Transcript. One placard read: "The Media is the Virus." The protesters
appeared to have dispersed by mid-afternoon.

The weekly protests have become a regular feature during the pandemic,
with people voicing opposition to measures such as mandatory masks and
vaccines.

But Codiac Regional RCMP Supt. Thomas Critchlow pledged tougher
enforcement during a Moncton city council meeting on Jan. 18 as the
Moncton region returned to the red phase. Under the red level of
restrictions, masks are required in outdoor spaces if physical
distancing can't be maintained, and outdoor gatherings are allowed
"with physical distancing of five people or less," according to
information posted online by
the provincial government.

Protesters have flouted COVID-19 restrictions, saying they're too
extreme and citing factors including financial hardship associated
with lockdown measures.

They have also disputed Public Health guidelines, often citing
misinformation, claiming, for example, that COVID-19 is less deadly
than the flu.

Influenza causes an estimated 3,500 deaths annually, according to the
federal government. Despite unprecedented public health measures,
Canada had recorded nearly 19,000 COVID related deaths by Sunday.

Const. Hans Ouellette, a spokesperson for the New Brunswick RCMP,
previously stressed that police would respect the right to peaceful
protest, citing protections under the Canadian Charter of Rights and
Freedoms.

The Charter guarantees the right to fundamental freedoms including
peaceful assembly and expression.

Under Section 1 of the Charter, those freedoms are "subject only to
such reasonable limits prescribed by law as can be demonstrably
justifed in a free and democratic society.

Prof. Kerri Froc, an associate professor of law at the University of
New Brunswick, said Section 1 "always applies to state action." though
she questioned the ability of police to conduct a "constitutional
analysis" before taking action.

"To my mind, it is up to police to enforce the law until a court says
otherwise," she said via Twitter.

"Therefore, if they have reasonable and probable grounds for a
transgression of the Emergency Order they should ticket absent some
compelling reasons to exercise their discretion otherwise."

If not, there could be a problem of discriminatory or arbitrary
enforcement, also raising Charter issues, she said.

CBC Investigates
Critics want public hearings into Canada Revenue amnesty for KPMG
offshore tax dodgers

Liberal revenue minister should withdraw amnesty offer for Isle of Man
'sham', tax professor says

"Revenue Minister Diane Lebouthillier wouldn't discuss the specifics
of the KPMG offer, saying it was before the courts. But, under
questioning in question period, the prime minister said the government
would look into it."


"Dennis Howlett, the head of Canadians for Tax Fairness, also wants
the new Liberal government to hold public hearings into CRA's
"no-penalties" deal with KPMG's multi-millionaire clients.

"I would like to call on the new government to launch a full
investigation," Howlett said, after reviewing the leaked document,
obtained by CBC News/Radio-Canada, about what had been a secret deal.

"Who was responsible for this? What kind of deals were made? At what level?

"The best way to get to the bottom of this is a full public inquiry,"
Howlett said.

    Canada Revenue offered amnesty to KPMG clients in offshore tax 'sham'
    Secret tax deal sparked anger inside CRA

Howlett also pointed out that the Liberals campaigned on an platform
to overhaul the Canada Revenue Agency, pledging an additional $80
million over four years to crack down on tax avoiders and evaders.

"So here's the opportunity to show us that they're serious about those
promises and that they will deliver. And boy oh boy is there ever a
need for that now."

saying goes. Mr. Gunnlaugson mocking the Pirates in his speeches,

I know that the Yankee law enforcement people are either as dumb as
posts or pure evil. There appears to be few exceptions. The ethical
Ms. Olson is my favourite klady today. Does anyone speaking or acting
in the best interests of the decent folks in Iceland understand my
sincerity and her Integrity YET?

Below this note to you is a forward of an emial I sent on Friday night
with some attachments as well

I may call your home number later this morning. I believe this may be
your home phone number but I am reluctant to use it because I don't
wish to involve your family in my concerns.

 I know it is Sunday morning and that you are a young man with a young
family so I will not try to take up too much of your precious family
time but your work and your recent job loss are speaking volumes to me
in that you just may be the writer I have been looking for for many
years.

 I am rather busy researching and writing an important motion for the
Federal Court of Appeal that I must file ASAP and two other lawsuits
at the same time. However I would gladly pause and explain things to
you in grest detail. Rest assued that the PDF files hereto attached
are just the tip of a very malevolent Iceberg. Please notice the
General Counsel of BCE had her legal dept print my legal documents in
2004 and it took them 4 days or so to print them and five years later
CBC's legal dept want them as well. Trust that I have a lot more now.

I thought the Icelanders may have replaced the snotty people i talked
to years ago and perhaps somebody ethical may take and interest in my
lawsuit now before the Federal Court in Canada. No such luck they
still have the same bunch of nasty liars from six years ago and the
worst ones of all are Birgitta's Yankee lady lawyer pal Cindy Baby and
the women who work as diplomats for Iceland.

Sigmundur Davíð Gunnlaugsson should go figure why that is and what I
am up to now after he reads the emails below REAL SLOW. If I have no
problem suing the Queen of England his people are very dumb to invite
me to sue his little country as well N'esy Mr Prime Minister Trudeau

I see the Boyz from Brazil surfing here there and everywhere since I
called them again in January so I call their Embassies in Ottawa again
and they laugh at me???

The Boyz from Brazil hanging their hats Washington should recall this
voicemail EH?

Tuesday, 8 October 2013
Re Glen Greenwald and the Brazilian President Rousseff's indignant
tweets So Stevey Boy Harper your CSEC dudes and their NSA pals no
doubt know all about my conversation with the dudes from Brazil last
month Wheras the CBC and the Guardian etc want to know it all we
should share EH?

I can read the New YorkTimes just like everyone else. It ain't hard
telling that President, Dilma Rousseff could use a friend. Why she has
ignored me for years seems to tell me only one thing particilarly
after I had long talks with her Embassy in Washington in 2013 and in
Ottawa recently and had we discussed what I sent her government's
office within the UN byway of registered US Mail in August of 2005
(The documents hereto attached should prove that Icleand got the same
stuff Brazil did the year before byway of YOUR Embassy in Ottawa in
2006 EH Olaf or whatever your name truly is???)

Brazil’s President Rousseff, Facing Impeachment Effort, Is Deluged by
More Bad News By SIMON ROMEROMARCH 3, 2016

http://www.nytimes.com/2016/03/04/world/americas/brazils-president-rousseff-facing-impeachment-effort-is-deluged-by-more-bad-news.html?_r=0

RIO DE JANEIRO — Just when it seems things cannot get any worse for
Brazil’s president, Dilma Rousseff, they do.

"An economic slowdown has become a brutal rout, with gross domestic
product shrinking 3.8 percent in 2015, the deepest plunge in 25 years,
according to government figures released Thursday."

I would have to say that if one ignores all the other issues about
political corruption the folks in Brazil at the very least could use
the services ao a whistleblower about the financial industry that is
the true cause of the economic hardshipt around the world. I offered
my help to Brazil first because they were the only ones in the UN to
ask for more info from me in 2005. After talking to the snobby dumb
bastard in Ottawa today who spoke for the people of Brazil I feel pity
for the ordinary folks in that country that pays his wages so that he
can live high off the hog in Canada with diplomatic immunity. I can't
help but wonder if Dilma Baby will even read this email but i know for
a fact I am seeing more folks from Bazil that any other country in the
world checking my work in the past month (excepting the USA and
Canada). Scroll down to see some proof of what I say is true


BTW Surfing in (Portuguese Brazil) is a bigtime tell and don't think
that you can hide your surfing byway of the punks in the Ukraine I
crossed paths with those not so clever geeks years ago. Many
governments us them. Notice soembody in Mexico whos surfs in
Portuguese used them today as well? DUHHH????

It's the environment, stupid

Butts's influence is felt in every area of government policy and
Trudeau would not make any big policy decisions without the input of
both Butts and Telford. But the area Butts holds dearest is the
environment. Environment policies were a central theme in McGuinty's
government during the Butts era, and again with the Trudeau Liberals.
In between the two governments, Butts was the CEO of the World
Wildlife Fund in Canada, a position he held until the Trudeau Liberal
leadership campaign came calling.

In his resignation statement Butts even made a pitch for action to
halt climate change: "Our kids and grandkids will judge us on one
issue above all others," he said. "That issue is climate change. I
hope the response to it becomes the collective, non-partisan, urgent
effort that science clearly says is required. I hope that happens
soon."

Unclear whether N.B. employers will face consequences over alleged abuse of foreign workers

Industry rep says he hasn't seen abuse, responsibility of researchers to reveal names

Meanwhile an industry representative says the report does not reflect to his experience, and lays the responsibility on the researchers to produce names of offending employers.

On Wednesday, researchers from Dalhousie and St. Thomas universities released a report based on interviews with low-wage temporary foreign workers in New Brunswick in 2020 and 2021.

The report, funded by Cooper Institute and the Madhu Verma Migrant Justice Centre, includes first-person descriptions of cramped housing and verbal abuse.

Some workers said they were told "it's not a good idea to get sick," were reprimanded for calling an ambulance for a colleague, and felt they were not trained adequately to handle dangerous equipment.

Carla Qualtrough, the federal minister of employment, workforce development and disability inclusion, said in a statement the study's findings are "disturbing."

"All allegations of this nature are reviewed and acted upon. If criminal activity is suspected, the information is forwarded to law enforcement agencies," she said.

Qualtrough's office did not confirm whether a specific investigation was triggered by the report. The report did not name any workplaces in order to protect the identity of the interviewees, some of whom still work in New Brunswick and fear reprisals.

In an interview Thursday, Nat Richard, executive director of the Lobster Processors Association in New Brunswick, said the report relies on the first-hand experiences of 14 people out of more than 2,000, and that makes it inaccurate.

"What is portrayed in that report is nowhere close to the reality of our industry," he said.

  Nat Richard of the Lobster Processors Association says the report does not match up with his experience of how temporary foreign workers are treated. (CBC)

The report said workers would only speak on conditions of strict anonymity, and few ever speak out against employers because they fear deportation or not being invited back to work next season.

"If that is true, I cannot condone that," Richard said.

When asked what role his association has in responding to the issues raised by the report, he said he would be happy to hear from the researchers directly.

"If they want to reach out to me and identify who these employers are, I will gladly put them in touch with the responsible federal authorities so these cases can be looked at more carefully," he said.

 A woman with long brown hair is smiling.Raluca Bejan, lead author of the report, said the names of the employers mentioned by some workers will not be revealed. (Dalhousie University)

The report's lead author Raluca Bejan, who is an assistant professor of social work at Dalhousie University, said researchers spent months trying to find workers willing to speak. 

She said a member of the team speaks Spanish, and that helped them gain the trust of the Mexican community. They were able to interview 15 people, she said, one of whom worked as a mushroom picker and the rest worked in seafood processing. She said researchers used all of the interviews they gathered to compile the report.

Research ethics and their policies dictate that they can't reveal identifying information of those who agreed to be interviewed, Bejan said.

"We cannot destroy people's livelihoods by doing that."

"We won't reveal the name of the employers and the locations because some people want to go back to the same workplaces."

She said even if the employers are identified, she believes the problem lies with the program itself. She said it does not have adequate protections, especially when it comes to housing standards.

A spokesperson for Qualtrough's office said threatening deportation, not adequately informing workers of health and safety regulation and not properly communicating healthcare insurance details are all considered to be contravening the temporary foreign worker program. 

She said investigations are triggered by direct complaints from workers, but also from advocacy groups or news reports.

Typically, specific employer names are needed to start an investigation, but that doesn't mean it won't take place. She said the 24/7 tip line is still operational, and workers can always go to advocacy groups and ask them to make complaints on their behalf.

The government has amended the program since researchers conducted the interviews to require employers to make certain the people they hire did not pay recruiters who charge thousands of dollars to help workers secure contracts. 

The government is also working on a national housing standards strategy for the low-wage stream of the program, alongside the provinces and territories.

'There's absolutely no obligation ... to return'

Richard said the fact that some workers come back year after year proves the report is not accurate.

"There's absolutely no obligation on the part of these workers to return to the same processing facility year after year, and the vast majority of them do," he said.

When asked whether that may be because some workers have no other option, Richard said working in seafood processing isn't easy, and employers pay several dollars more than the provincial minimum wage of $13.75.

"A lot of these workers tell me they make more in an hour in Canada than they would in their home countries over a whole day, assuming they can even find employment," he said. 

"We need these workers desperately in our industry … I think we need to have a little bit more of a reasonable debate about this, not tar everybody with the same brush. Understand that most employers do work very hard to provide decent and safe and welcoming workplaces."

Methinks NDP supporters attacking Liberal supporters is a pretty good sign that an election is in the wind. With all the revelations about China lately I would not be one bit surprised to see Trudeau the Younger take along walk in the snow like his Daddy did. If so then just like Mulroney he will give Canada another temporary Lady Prime Minister who will try to get folks to support her budget N'esy Pas?

I like your thinking, but wonder if the junior Trudeau (not nearly as intelligent as the old man) has figured out yet that the winds of change are getting much much stronger. His comments today (after all day yesterday with his spin doctors) confirm that he's still not agreeing to the independent inquiry, because they've done all these great things to address the issue(s). Funny he didn't even mention it to Canadians until you know what blasted the fan. 
 
Would be interesting to see though what would happen to "her PM budget" and the winds of an election stronger than ever. Hope we find out.

If the accusations are true this is terrible. Too many "what if's", might have's", and "confidential statements" to make it entirely believable. In other words, the story leaves "reasonable doubt" in this readers mind. We used to work potato's as kids, hard work, dangerous machinery, longhairs. Put some money in my pocket to buy school clothes, as my parents had 4 other kids to feed. I'm not saying it was socially just, it was the way it was for people like us at the lower end of the socio economic scale. I didn't blame anyone, my problem-up to me to find a solution. Put a fire under me, went to University and bettered myself. It actually is possible to improve one's lot in life without the government holding your hand. But again, everyone has a right to be treated in a humane manner.

Pretty much amounts to legal modern slavery, not surprising for NB fish plants. Remember the days when you could not work more than 10 weeks? Then unemployment insurance for 49 weeks, was called the 10-49 lottery then.

When taxpayer money is no longer available, you then resort to exploit foreigner from poor country. Having grown up in coastal NB, I'm ashamed at the continued abuse of people by the NB fishing industries and the fast food industry as well.

Wake up NB government and put the people first, but with Higgs there, won't happen.

If true, these businesses need to be shut down immediately, and the perpetrators prosecuted. However that is the key - "if true". To drop a story such as this without any ability to verify the claim, amounts to little more than sensationalist journalism.

 Have a dear friend that is one of these " foreign workers " and she has stated to me on numerous occasions that the working conditions are deplorable. Required to pay high rent ( usually to the people that own the plant ) and no money to live on when there is no product to process. Have to be on call for all hours of the day and night. Not paid overtime when working 12 or 14 hour days. Unsafe conditions, few breaks and they are afraid to speak out due to possible repercussions from their employer. These foreign workers are usually too afraid to complain or say a word to anyone about what is going on whether it be their working conditions or their living conditions. Suggest that someone go " under cover " to find out the real story.

It would be interesting to read the actual report and not just way it was presented in media articles. According to the researchers, the purpose of the study was to present the federal government with areas for improvement in the overall program. However, after reading the news coverage, most people seem to have gotten the impression that the purpose was to go after specific employers. How much of that impression comes from the report itself? How much comes from the way it's presented in the news coverage? Or is it just that going after specific employers seems more direct, easier to accomplish and perhaps even more emotionally satisfying compared to making changes in a federal program.

Foreign workers at N.B. seafood plants face threats, cramped quarters and racism, study finds

Report calls on governments to regulate housing, working conditions to protect 3,000 workers

They take a two-hour bus ride to work at a New Brunswick seafood plant, making several stops, when a straight drive would have taken 15 minutes.

At a lobster processing plant, they stand in one place for 10 hours, facing dangerous, finger-crushing machinery with little training and can only nod when a supervisor screams abuse at them.

According to a new report, the situation faced by temporary foreign workers in New Brunswick is precarious. 

Nat Richard, a spokesperson for lobster-processing plants, dismissed the report, saying it unfairly discredited the industry based on a small number of interviews with workers.

"New Brunswick processing plants are subject to extremely rigorous controls and inspections," he said Wednesday. 

Work the industry relies on

The workers' experience is compiled from interviews with 14 temporary foreign workers in the province's seafood industry, and one hired to be a mushroom picker.

The workers spoke under conditions of anonymity to researchers from Dalhousie University, St. Thomas University,  Cooper Institute and the Madhu Verma Migrant Justice Centre.

The report, released Wednesday, includes accounts of exploitation, racism, and threats of deportation, all affecting people paid $13 an hour to do work on which the industry relies.

"They pay us … the minimum wage, the lowest you can afford," one worker told the researchers.

 "Because we're doing the work that a lot of Canadians don't want to do, well, be fair with the payment. I will not say that they have to pay us the same as some Canadians, but well, come closer, right?"

At the end of their shifts, some workers suspect their supervisor of under-weighing the meat they processed to avoid paying them a bonus, said the report, which does not identify the plants or their locations.

And the workers need the bonus to pay back more than $1,000 a recruiter charged each of them to help with the paperwork that got them to New Brunswick.

No visitors allowed

Back in their rural housing, the workers line up again to wash the smell of seafood off. Some of them want to invite friends over, but don't, because they fear their boss will find out and scold them.

The boss is their landlord and forbids visitors. 

Raluca Bejan, the study's lead author and assistant professor of social work at Dalhousie University, said overall, working and living conditions in New Brunswick are "much more precarious," than what the researchers found in a similar study in Prince Edward Island.

"Here we have 10, 20 people living in one accommodation ... for the most part unsuitable," she said.

One worker lived in an unfurnished apartment and could not buy any furniture or appliances, except a second-hand microwave, the report said.

The worker slept "on the floor, just like that. [I] bought some blankets. A friend gave me a blanket and I bought another one, and that's how I stayed."

Most housing also had little hot water, low temperatures, and no internet access, Bejan said.

"Also housing tends to be very isolated. So workers have no way to go to a grocery store," she said.

The workers have to rely on their employers, some of whom dock paycheques for a van trip to the supermarket, Bejan said.

On these trips, they have one hour to shop, a worker said.

"Many times, you go out, and the van isn't there. They left you there. And you must get a taxi to your home."

Bejan said the researchers also found a lot more "verbal abuse and yelling" compared to P.E.I.

The workers were all interviewed after the COVID-19 pandemic was declared.

The report says the pandemic exacerbated problems that already existed, but the fear of foreign workers bringing in the virus made some issues worse, such as employers being unreasonably strict.

The report also says some workers felt they weren't equipped with enough personal protective equipment, and some had to buy their own cleaning supplies.

Several workers said they experienced racism and xenophobia, both from their employers as well as the wider community.

Some workers said they feel they're treated differently because they're foreign, and noticed preferential treatment to their Canadian counterparts. Some also recounted insults hurled from cars and being called "damn Mexicans," while trying to shop at a store.

One worker said they don't mind the long hours and difficult work, because it's the job, but it's all made almost impossible to manage because of the difficult living conditions.

Since the pandemic, the number of temporary workers has been growing "exponentially," Bejan said. In 2019, the province had around 1,600 temporary foreign workers.

At the end of 2022, there were around 3,600 temporary workers, 60 per cent of them coming from the low-wage stream and supplying the seafood industry.

What about government regulations?

Bejan said the researchers studied the low-wage stream of temporary foreign workers, mostly from Mexico and Philippines, which is the least regulated of the three streams.

Other streams, which bring in agricultural workers for example, have housing standards such as no more than two people per room. In this program, there is no such rule.

"There are a lot of things like that, which I think can be quickly remediated by introducing more regulations and guidelines," Bejan said.

The report asks the federal government to grant permanent residency to the workers, abolish employee-specific work permits that prevent workers from speaking up out of fear of deportation, establish minimum labour standards, ensure access to safe housing and create bilateral agreements with the countries that most of the workers come from.

The recommendations to the provincial government are similar, but include specifically strengthening the Employment Standards Act to protect workers from abuse, removing barriers to unionization, and providing health insurance and legal aid.

Carla Qualtrough, the federal minister of employment, workforce development and disability inclusion, declined a request for an interview Wednesday. 

The New Brunswick government said it is still reviewing the report but issued a statement saying anyone with concerns about their workplace should report them to the employment standards branch.

"Anytime we hear stories or reports of this nature it is troubling," said Paul Bradley, spokesperson for the Department of Post-Secondary Education, Training and Labour. 

Bejan said that when it comes to employers, there's no disagreement that their primary aim is to make a profit.

"The state needs to jump in and put some regulations so the employers behave," she said.

Methinks decent Canadians should not feel so Proud anymore if this report is true N'esy Pas?


Don Corey
Reply to David Amos
Totally agree, if, as you say, the report is totally factual. That's why I'm wondering why there's nothing here on the "employer side" of the equation. 




Don Corey
It's not new to hear TFW's complain about everything from wages to worksafe safety and conditions, living accommodations, employer abuse, and the list goes on. Treating them like "slave labour" (if such is indeed the case) is despicable, and should be seriously addressed by employers and government. Forget studies and task forces.....just DO IT.

And, the TFW's should have representation/input in whatever action plans are developed.

There's one thing missing in this article though, and that's the "employer perspective".

It's hard to properly evaluate any issue without first getting all sides to the story.

Very true. Silence would imply that they know the facts of this story are indeed "the way it is".

Federal and Provincial Governments Invest in Westmorland Fisheries Ltd. to Expand Global Presence and Increase Growth

News Release

ACOA’s $4.3 million loan will help the company modernize and improve production

May 20, 2016 – Cap-Pelé, N.B. – Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency

Federal and provincial government officials were in Cap-Pelé today alongside company officials to announce a significant investment of more than $4.7 million for Westmorland Fisheries Ltd. (WFL) to modernize, improve efficiencies and position the firm as a world leader in lobster processing. The company’s privately financed contribution brings the total investment to over $10 million in 2016, the largest in its history.

On hand for the announcement were the Honourable Dominic LeBlanc, Member of Parliament for Beauséjour, on behalf of the Honourable Navdeep Bains, Minister of Innovation, Science and Economic Development and Minister responsible for the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency (ACOA); the Honourable Victor Boudreau, Minister of Health and Minister responsible for the Regional Development Corporation; Russel Jacob, President, Westmorland Fisheries and Nat Richard, Director, Corporate Affairs, Westmorland Fisheries.

The project involves a significant investment in new technology and equipment to produce new lobster products and improve productivity and efficiency. As part of this effort, WFL will adopt new technology to support its automation system, upgrade equipment throughout the facility and carry out significant enhancements to the plant.

Global demand for quality seafood products is continuing to grow and lobster remains Canada’s highest value fish and seafood export product, accounting for $1.5 billion in exports in 2014.  WFL is one of the largest lobster processors in Canada, purchasing lobster from hundreds of harvesters in the region. These investments will help to ensure that WFL is a modern and efficient processing facility and enhance its competitiveness in growth markets.

The Government of Canada, through ACOA’s Business Development Program, is providing a $4,321,000 loan towards the project, while the Province of New Brunswick is contributing $410,000 and WFL is investing $5,788,000 financed through the Business Development Bank of Canada.

Westmorland Fisheries Ltd. opened its doors in 1973 and has a workforce of more than 400 employees during peak production. The company operates mostly in the frozen food segment of the industry under the Rocky Point® brand. From its 78,000 sq. ft. plant in Cap-Pelé, raw product is processed into a broad range of products, such as lobster meat, whole lobster, and raw tails, for retail and foodservice customers throughout North America, Europe and Asia.

Quotes:

“Westmorland Fisheries Ltd. understands that in order to compete in the world it must be innovative, efficient and productive. Innovation and global competitiveness have never been more important than they are today.  I am pleased that the Government of Canada can contribute to WFL’s international growth and sustainability.”

The Honourable Navdeep Bains, Minister of Innovation, Science and Economic Development and Minister responsible for ACOA

“New Brunswick has abundant natural resources and our products are in demand around the world. Westmorland Fisheries Ltd. is a cornerstone of the lobster industry and an important employer in southeastern New Brunswick, I am pleased that the Government of Canada can support WFL to further build a solid foundation right here in Cap-Pelé.”

The Honourable Dominic LeBlanc, Leader of the Government in the House of Commons and Member of Parliament for Beauséjour

“Supporting established New Brunswick companies to increase exports and competitiveness in global markets is key to creating and retaining jobs here at home.  New Brunswick’s fish and seafood products are in demand around the world and I am pleased that the province of New Brunswick can support Westmorland Fisheries Ltd. as it expands to meet that demand.”

- The Honourable Victor Boudreau, Minister of Health and Minister responsible for the Regional Development Corporation

“We are proud to support Westmorland Fisheries Ltd. as they seize this opportunity to build a more efficient, competitive and profitable business. As the only bank exclusively dedicated to entrepreneurs, the Business Development Bank of Canada (BDC) is committed to helping Atlantic Canadian entrepreneurs grow and succeed at taking their business to the next level.”

Gina Gale, Senior Vice President, Financing and Consulting, BDC, Atlantic Canada

“This modernization program represents the largest investment in Westmorland Fisheries Ltd.’s history.  The expansion, plant enhancements and new equipment will result in a stronger, more efficient and more innovative Westmorland, better positioned to capitalize on growing demand for lobster products all around the world.”

Russel Jacob, President, Westmorland Fisheries Ltd.

COMMENTARY: Blaming Canada’s lobster industry for North Atlantic right whales’ plight unfair

Share to LinkedInShare to More
The federal government is implementing protection measures for North Atlantic right whales during the 2022 migration season.
The federal government implemented protection measures for North Atlantic right whales during the 2022 migration season. The Canadian lobster industry has worked hard to protect right whales and does not deserve recent criticism from Seafood Watch, writes Geoff Irvine, executive director of The Lobster Council of Canada, and Nat Richard, executive director of the Lobster Processors Association. - Contributed


GEOFF IRVINE and NAT RICHARD  • Guest Opinion

Geoff Irvine is executive director of The Lobster Council of Canada. Nat Richard is executive director of the Lobster Processors Association.

Since 2017, many of us in the Canadian lobster industry feel like we’ve been trapped in a South Park episode. There has been a steady drumbeat eager to blame Canada for the plight of North Atlantic right whales (NARWs). The recent unfair red-listing by Seafood Watch just adds fuel to the fire.

Right whales were rarely observed in the Gulf of St. Lawrence until recently.  Historically, they never ventured much beyond their northernmost habitats in the Bay of Fundy and the Roseway Basin area, in the offshore south of Nova Scotia, during summer and fall, before moving to their traditional winter calving grounds in the southeastern United States.

All that changed in 2017, when a large number unexpectedly moved to the Gulf. Tragically, we lost 17 right whales: 12 in Canadian waters and five in the United States. Two deaths out of 12 Canadian whale fatalities were found to be caused by crab gear entanglements. 

New protection measures the following year resulted in zero deaths in 2018. None of eight verified deaths in 2019 were linked to Canadian fisheries and no mortalities were recorded in 2020. There has been no NARW mortality — from any cause — since 2019.

NOAA’s data confirms that only two deaths out of 21 documented in Canadian waters since 2017 were linked to fishing gear — neither due to lobster gear.  Most of the mortality — when a cause could be determined — was linked to deadly ship strikes by ocean freighters and cruise ships.

It is a plain fact that there has never been a single, documented right whale death linked to Canadian lobster gear in recent history. There are several reasons why lobster fishing presents a lower risk in Canada. It’s an inshore fishery conducted mostly in shallow waters of less than 20 fathoms, where right whales are rarely observed.

Our lobster fisheries are also managed differently. One key difference is that Canada’s Gulf lobster season in May-June is fixed at 60 days. Therefore, there is limited overlap with times of year when NARWs are most concentrated in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, from July to September. Another crucial difference is that our harvesters have an average trap limit of 300 per boat, compared with 800 in New England.

Our American peers have made huge strides and sacrifices in recent years to protect right whales and we commend them for their efforts. Canada has also been leading the way with the most aggressive management measures in the world. They are adapted annually (and in-season) based on the best science and the evolving distribution of NARWs in our waters.

Dr. Moira Brown, a senior scientist at the Canadian Whale Institute who has studied right whales for almost 40 years, recently stated that Canadian right whale measures were “unmatched in eastern North America.”

Canada’s lobster fisheries continue to maintain its third-party Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) certification. It was renewed in February 2021 and includes a rigorous annual analysis of the impact of our fishery on marine mammals, including NARWs.

Canadian snow crab harvesters have stepped up in a major way since the 2017 crisis. In 2022, many are testing ropeless gear units under special permits to harvest in closed areas, in what is the largest R&D trial in North America.

Much has been said about NOAA’s decision to make a 950 square mile area of the Gulf of Maine essentially off-limits to fishing from October to January. Consider that in 2021, Canada closed more than 29,000 square miles, either temporarily or for the whole season based on actual sightings or detections of right whales. While disruptive and costly, these targeted and adaptive closure protocols, widely supported by our fishermen, have closed massive areas to fishing whenever NARWs are present.

Since its 2020 launch, our ghost gear program has removed 7,560 units of lost gear and 155 kilometres of rope, thereby reducing threats to marine mammals. Canada is also working with harvesters to implement low-breaking strength rope or links to facilitate whales’ self-release in the unlikely event that entanglements should occur.

Canada has spared no effort to protect right whales since 2017. We implemented a broad suite of measures, including comprehensive closure protocols, mandatory speed restrictions for fishing and large vessels, unprecedented de-icing resources to allow for early crab fishing before NARWs arrive, massive aerial and at-sea surveillance with cutting-edge detection technology, elimination of all floating horizontal lines, “trawling” up to reduce vertical lines, 100 per cent gear marking for all fixed gear fisheries, among others. The fact that not a single NARW mortality has occurred for the past three years speaks volumes about their effectiveness.

For more than 150 years, North America’s lobster fishery has proven itself to be one of the most sustainable wild fisheries on the planet. For all of us, on both sides of the Canada-U.S. border, who care deeply about its future, the path forward is clear.

First, let’s remember that lobster in North America is a highly integrated, multibillion dollar industry. We are each other’s largest export market. Tens of thousands of fishing families, plant workers and hundreds of coastal communities depend on us setting the record straight and winning this fight.

Second, we need to stand up and push back on what Seafood Watch represents: activism masquerading as science. They lumped all fixed-gear fisheries into one basket, with blatant disregard of the facts and lacking peer-review validation. Canada and the United States have a proud record of global leadership on seafood sustainability. Cooler heads must prevail. We need more science, and less politics; more bi-national collaboration, less finger-pointing. Ensuring a sustainable future for the right whale — and addressing the threats facing them — knows no borders and needs to be addressed bi-nationally.

Opposition MLAs say rushed decision shows need for the legislature to

Since 2004 I have talked to a lot of businessmen, farmers, truckers
and food processors and the various associations who speak for them to
no avail. However methinks my comment about my contact with Downeast
Cape Bald Packers yesterday made Higgy et al sit up and pay attention
N'esy Pas?

Deja Vu Anyone?

"Methinks Higgy et al probably already know that I enjoyed my
conversation Nat Richard (I truly hope his Grandfather calls me
sometime soon) If Mr Richard takes my advice I suspect Higgy will flip
flop in a heartbeat N'esy Pas?

"Two weeks ago, we described the situation in the seafood industry as
a perfect storm," said Nat Richard, manager of corporate affairs for
Downeast Cape Bald Packers in Cap-Pelé.

"That was before this decision."

Richard learned about the decision Monday night and said he was stunned."

Methinks Higgy et all cannot deny that all my phone calls emails,

David Amos
Methinks a lot of folks are listening to Higgy right now The most
interesting question for me that he responded to came from the
strawberry farmer about foreign labour N'esy Pas?

> Howard Anglin is the principal secretary to Premier Jason Kenney. (CBC)
>
> Howard Anglin, principal secretary to Alberta Premier Jason Kenney,
> earns $29,000 a year more than his predecessor in the former NDP
> government.
>
> Once deputy chief of staff to former prime minister Stephen Harper,
> Anglin makes $224,120 a year, according to contracts released to the
> public on Friday.
>
> Jim Rutkowksi, principal secretary to former Premier Rachel Notley,
> earned $195,000 annually.
>
> A spokesman for the premier's office said Anglin is "an accomplished
> lawyer who has a great deal of expertise in constitutional law."
>
> Anglin is paid the same amount as Kenney's chief of staff, Jamie
> Huckabay, whose salary is slightly less than the $225,000 paid to
> Nathan Rotman, Notley's former chief of staff.  John Heaney, who
> preceded Rotman as Notley's chief of staff, was paid $294,977.
>
> David Knight Legg, Kenney's principal advisor, earns $194,253.
>
> Matt Wolf, the executive director of issues management, is paid the
> same salary as Legg, $194,253 a year.
>
> All but two of the ministerial chiefs of staff under the NDP were paid
> $120,000 a year. (Energy chief of staff Matt Williamson earned
> $125,000. The contract for Heather Mack indicates she was paid
> $150,000 as infrastructure chief of staff).
>
> The UCP appears to have three bands for paying chiefs of staff. The
> highest band of $139,463 is paid to nine of the 22 chiefs of staff.
> They mostly head up the larger ministries such as health and
> education.
>
> Two chiefs of staff are paid in a middle range of $129,501 and the
> remaining 11 earn $119,540.
>
> The list discloses the contracts for senior political staff, including
> members of Kenney's office, chiefs of staff to ministers and senior
> communications staff.
>
> The NDP government posted the salaries of press secretaries to cabinet
> ministers, as well as office staffers who were political appointments.
>
> The UCP is following the Government of Alberta sunshine lists
> guidelines and is only posting the contracts of staffers making more
> than $111,395.
>
> NDP deputy leader Sarah Hoffman said that helps the government blur
> the lines on how much they are actually spending.
>
> "They're saying they're not spending as much on salaries but they're
> not even showing us all of their actual contracts," she said.
>
> Hoffman said any political staff member who was hired by the previous
> NDP government, regardless of how much they earned, was told their
> contracts would be posted online.

> March 19, 2019 - Press Release:
> Announcing our new Executive Director
> The Canadian Constitution Foundation is thrilled to announce that
> Joanna Baron will be taking over from Howard Anglin as Executive
> Director of the Canadian Constitution Foundation as of April 13, 2019.
> Joanna has been the National Director of the Runnymede Society for the
> last three years, during which time she has grown the Runnymede
> Society from an ambitious idea into an influential and established
> voice in Canada’s law schools and in the broader legal and academic
> community.
>
> A native of Toronto, Joanna studied classical liberal arts at St.
> John’s College, MD, and earned civil and common law degrees at McGill
> University. She clerked for the justices of the Court of Appeal for
> Ontario and was called to the bar in Ontario in 2013. Following her
> clerkship, Joanna worked in barrister’s chambers in London, UK as a
> Harold G. Fox Scholar. Upon returning to Canada in 2014, Joanna
> practiced criminal defence law with the late Edward L. Greenspan,
> appearing at all levels of court in Ontario, including the Supreme
> Court of Canada. She was hired to launch the Runnymede Society in
> 2016.
>
> Anglin noted, “it has been a true privilege for me to lead the
> Canadian Constitution Foundation for almost three years. The work we
> have done to promote and defend constitutional rights and freedoms has
> made, and will continue to make, Canada a freer and better country and
> the work of the Runnymede Society is already changing the legal
> culture of Canada in positive ways that will be felt for decades.”
>
> With sound funding and a full roster of important cases defending the
> fundamental freedoms of Canadians, the Canadian Constitution
> Foundation is stronger and more influential than ever. Anglin thanks
> his exceptional colleagues at the CCF, our donors and supporters, and
> the Board of Directors for their consistent and invaluable support
> during a personally- and professionally-rewarding three years.
> The Canadian Constitution Foundation (“Freedom’s Defence Team”) is a
> registered charity, independent and non-partisan, whose mission is to
> defend the constitutional freedoms of Canadians through education,
> communication and litigation.

It's the environment, stupid

Butts's influence is felt in every area of government policy and
Trudeau would not make any big policy decisions without the input of
both Butts and Telford. But the area Butts holds dearest is the
environment. Environment policies were a central theme in McGuinty's
government during the Butts era, and again with the Trudeau Liberals.
In between the two governments, Butts was the CEO of the World
Wildlife Fund in Canada, a position he held until the Trudeau Liberal
leadership campaign came calling.

In his resignation statement Butts even made a pitch for action to
halt climate change: "Our kids and grandkids will judge us on one
issue above all others," he said. "That issue is climate change. I
hope the response to it becomes the collective, non-partisan, urgent
effort that science clearly says is required. I hope that happens
soon."

Subject: You wished to speak with me
To: "motomaniac333@gmail.com"<motomaniac333@gmail.com>

I have the advantage, sir, of having read many of your emails over the years.


As such, I do not think a phone conversation between us, and
specifically one which you might mistakenly assume was in response to
your threat of legal action against me, is likely to prove a
productive use of either of our time.


If there is some specific matter about which you wish to communicate
with me, feel free to email me with the full details and it will be
given due consideration.


Sincerely,


Charles Murray

>> REASONS FOR JUDGMENT BY THE COURT
>>
>> I.                    Introduction
>>
>> [1]               On September 16, 2015, David Raymond Amos (Mr. Amos)
>> filed a 53-page Statement of Claim (the Claim) in Federal Court
>> against Her Majesty the Queen (the Crown). Mr. Amos claims $11 million
>> in damages and a public apology from the Prime Minister and Provincial
>> Premiers for being illegally barred from accessing parliamentary
>> properties and seeks a declaration from the Minister of Public Safety
>> that the Canadian Government will no longer allow the Royal Canadian
>> Mounted Police (RCMP) and Canadian Forces to harass him and his clan
>> (Claim at para. 96).
>>
>> [2]               On November 12, 2015 (Docket T-1557-15), by way of a
>> motion brought by the Crown, a prothonotary of the Federal Court (the
>> Prothonotary) struck the Claim in its entirety, without leave to
>> amend, on the basis that it was plain and obvious that the Claim
>> disclosed no reasonable claim, the Claim was fundamentally vexatious,
>> and the Claim could not be salvaged by way of further amendment (the
>> Prothontary’s Order).
>>
>>
>> [3]               On January 25, 2016 (2016 FC 93), by way of Mr.
>> Amos’ appeal from the Prothonotary’s Order, a judge of the Federal
>> Court (the Judge), reviewing the matter de novo, struck all of Mr.
>> Amos’ claims for relief with the exception of the claim for damages
>> for being barred by the RCMP from the New Brunswick legislature in
>> 2004 (the Federal Court Judgment).
>>
>>
>> [4]               Mr. Amos appealed and the Crown cross-appealed the
>> Federal Court Judgment. Further to the issuance of a Notice of Status
>> Review, Mr. Amos’ appeal was dismissed for delay on December 19, 2016.
>> As such, the only matter before this Court is the Crown’s
>> cross-appeal.
>>
>>
>> II.                 Preliminary Matter
>>
>> [5]               Mr. Amos, in his memorandum of fact and law in
>> relation to the cross-appeal that was filed with this Court on March
>> 6, 2017, indicated that several judges of this Court, including two of
>> the judges of this panel, had a conflict of interest in this appeal.
>> This was the first time that he identified the judges whom he believed
>> had a conflict of interest in a document that was filed with this
>> Court. In his notice of appeal he had alluded to a conflict with
>> several judges but did not name those judges.
>>
>> [6]               Mr. Amos was of the view that he did not have to
>> identify the judges in any document filed with this Court because he
>> had identified the judges in various documents that had been filed
>> with the Federal Court. In his view the Federal Court and the Federal
>> Court of Appeal are the same court and therefore any document filed in
>> the Federal Court would be filed in this Court. This view is based on
>> subsections 5(4) and 5.1(4) of the Federal Courts Act, R.S.C., 1985,
>> c. F-7:
>>
>>
>> 5(4) Every judge of the Federal Court is, by virtue of his or her
>> office, a judge of the Federal Court of Appeal and has all the
>> jurisdiction, power and authority of a judge of the Federal Court of
>> Appeal.
>> […]
>>
>> 5(4) Les juges de la Cour fédérale sont d’office juges de la Cour
>> d’appel fédérale et ont la même compétence et les mêmes pouvoirs que
>> les juges de la Cour d’appel fédérale.
>> […]
>> 5.1(4) Every judge of the Federal Court of Appeal is, by virtue of
>> that office, a judge of the Federal Court and has all the
>> jurisdiction, power and authority of a judge of the Federal Court.
>>
>> 5.1(4) Les juges de la Cour d’appel fédérale sont d’office juges de la
>> Cour fédérale et ont la même compétence et les mêmes pouvoirs que les
>> juges de la Cour fédérale.
>>
>>
>> [7]               However, these subsections only provide that the
>> judges of the Federal Court are also judges of this Court (and vice
>> versa). It does not mean that there is only one court. If the Federal
>> Court and this Court were one Court, there would be no need for this
>> section.
>> [8]               Sections 3 and 4 of the Federal Courts Act provide
>> that:
>> 3 The division of the Federal Court of Canada called the Federal Court
>> — Appeal Division is continued under the name “Federal Court of
>> Appeal” in English and “Cour d’appel fédérale” in French. It is
>> continued as an additional court of law, equity and admiralty in and
>> for Canada, for the better administration of the laws of Canada and as
>> a superior court of record having civil and criminal jurisdiction.
>>
>> 3 La Section d’appel, aussi appelée la Cour d’appel ou la Cour d’appel
>> fédérale, est maintenue et dénommée « Cour d’appel fédérale » en
>> français et « Federal Court of Appeal » en anglais. Elle est maintenue
>> à titre de tribunal additionnel de droit, d’equity et d’amirauté du
>> Canada, propre à améliorer l’application du droit canadien, et
>> continue d’être une cour supérieure d’archives ayant compétence en
>> matière civile et pénale.
>> 4 The division of the Federal Court of Canada called the Federal Court
>> — Trial Division is continued under the name “Federal Court” in
>> English and “Cour fédérale” in French. It is continued as an
>> additional court of law, equity and admiralty in and for Canada, for
>> the better administration of the laws of Canada and as a superior
>> court of record having civil and criminal jurisdiction.
>>
>> 4 La section de la Cour fédérale du Canada, appelée la Section de
>> première instance de la Cour fédérale, est maintenue et dénommée «
>> Cour fédérale » en français et « Federal Court » en anglais. Elle est
>> maintenue à titre de tribunal additionnel de droit, d’equity et
>> d’amirauté du Canada, propre à améliorer l’application du droit
>> canadien, et continue d’être une cour supérieure d’archives ayant
>> compétence en matière civile et pénale.
>>
>>
>> [9]               Sections 3 and 4 of the Federal Courts Act create
>> two separate courts – this Court (section 3) and the Federal Court
>> (section 4). If, as Mr. Amos suggests, documents filed in the Federal
>> Court were automatically also filed in this Court, then there would no
>> need for the parties to prepare and file appeal books as required by
>> Rules 343 to 345 of the Federal Courts Rules, SOR/98-106 in relation
>> to any appeal from a decision of the Federal Court. The requirement to
>> file an appeal book with this Court in relation to an appeal from a
>> decision of the Federal Court makes it clear that the only documents
>> that will be before this Court are the documents that are part of that
>> appeal book.
>>
>>
>> [10]           Therefore, the memorandum of fact and law filed on
>> March 6, 2017 is the first document, filed with this Court, in which
>> Mr. Amos identified the particular judges that he submits have a
>> conflict in any matter related to him.
>>
>>
>> [11]           On April 3, 2017, Mr. Amos attempted to bring a motion
>> before the Federal Court seeking an order “affirming or denying the
>> conflict of interest he has” with a number of judges of the Federal
>> Court. A judge of the Federal Court issued a direction noting that if
>> Mr. Amos was seeking this order in relation to judges of the Federal
>> Court of Appeal, it was beyond the jurisdiction of the Federal Court.
>> Mr. Amos raised the Federal Court motion at the hearing of this
>> cross-appeal. The Federal Court motion is not a motion before this
>> Court and, as such, the submissions filed before the Federal Court
>> will not be entertained. As well, since this was a motion brought
>> before the Federal Court (and not this Court), any documents filed in
>> relation to that motion are not part of the record of this Court.
>>
>>
>> [12]           During the hearing of the appeal Mr. Amos alleged that
>> the third member of this panel also had a conflict of interest and
>> submitted some documents that, in his view, supported his claim of a
>> conflict. Mr. Amos, following the hearing of his appeal, was also
>> afforded the opportunity to provide a brief summary of the conflict
>> that he was alleging and to file additional documents that, in his
>> view, supported his allegations. Mr. Amos submitted several pages of
>> documents in relation to the alleged conflicts. He organized the
>> documents by submitting a copy of the biography of the particular
>> judge and then, immediately following that biography, by including
>> copies of the documents that, in his view, supported his claim that
>> such judge had a conflict.
>>
>>
>> [13]           The nature of the alleged conflict of Justice Webb is
>> that before he was appointed as a Judge of the Tax Court of Canada in
>> 2006, he was a partner with the law firm Patterson Law, and before
>> that with Patterson Palmer in Nova Scotia. Mr. Amos submitted that he
>> had a number of disputes with Patterson Palmer and Patterson Law and
>> therefore Justice Webb has a conflict simply because he was a partner
>> of these firms. Mr. Amos is not alleging that Justice Webb was
>> personally involved in or had any knowledge of any matter in which Mr.
>> Amos was involved with Justice Webb’s former law firm – only that he
>> was a member of such firm.
>>
>>
>> [14]           During his oral submissions at the hearing of his
>> appeal Mr. Amos, in relation to the alleged conflict for Justice Webb,
>> focused on dealings between himself and a particular lawyer at
>> Patterson Law. However, none of the documents submitted by Mr. Amos at
>> the hearing or subsequently related to any dealings with this
>> particular lawyer nor is it clear when Mr. Amos was dealing with this
>> lawyer. In particular, it is far from clear whether such dealings were
>> after the time that Justice Webb was appointed as a Judge of the Tax
>> Court of Canada over 10 years ago.
>>
>>
>> [15]           The documents that he submitted in relation to the
>> alleged conflict for Justice Webb largely relate to dealings between
>> Byron Prior and the St. John’s Newfoundland and Labrador office of
>> Patterson Palmer, which is not in the same province where Justice Webb
>> practiced law. The only document that indicates any dealing between
>> Mr. Amos and Patterson Palmer is a copy of an affidavit of Stephen May
>> who was a partner in the St. John’s NL office of Patterson Palmer. The
>> affidavit is dated January 24, 2005 and refers to a number of e-mails
>> that were sent by Mr. Amos to Stephen May. Mr. Amos also included a
>> letter that is addressed to four individuals, one of whom is John
>> Crosbie who was counsel to the St. John’s NL office of Patterson
>> Palmer. The letter is dated September 2, 2004 and is addressed to
>> “John Crosbie, c/o Greg G. Byrne, Suite 502, 570 Queen Street,
>> Fredericton, NB E3B 5E3”. In this letter Mr. Amos alludes to a
>> possible lawsuit against Patterson Palmer.
>> [16]           Mr. Amos’ position is that simply because Justice Webb
>> was a lawyer with Patterson Palmer, he now has a conflict. In Wewaykum
>> Indian Band v. Her Majesty the Queen, 2003 SCC 45, [2003] 2 S.C.R.
>> 259, the Supreme Court of Canada noted that disqualification of a
>> judge is to be determined based on whether there is a reasonable
>> apprehension of bias:
>> 60        In Canadian law, one standard has now emerged as the
>> criterion for disqualification. The criterion, as expressed by de
>> Grandpré J. in Committee for Justice and Liberty v. National Energy
>> Board, …[[1978] 1 S.C.R. 369, 68 D.L.R. (3d) 716], at p. 394, is the
>> reasonable apprehension of bias:
>> … the apprehension of bias must be a reasonable one, held by
>> reasonable and right minded persons, applying themselves to the
>> question and obtaining thereon the required information. In the words
>> of the Court of Appeal, that test is "what would an informed person,
>> viewing the matter realistically and practically -- and having thought
>> the matter through -- conclude. Would he think that it is more likely
>> than not that [the decision-maker], whether consciously or
>> unconsciously, would not decide fairly."
>>
>> [17]           The issue to be determined is whether an informed
>> person, viewing the matter realistically and practically, and having
>> thought the matter through, would conclude that Mr. Amos’ allegations
>> give rise to a reasonable apprehension of bias. As this Court has
>> previously remarked, “there is a strong presumption that judges will
>> administer justice impartially” and this presumption will not be
>> rebutted in the absence of “convincing evidence” of bias (Collins v.
>> Canada, 2011 FCA 140 at para. 7, [2011] 4 C.T.C. 157 [Collins]. See
>> also R. v. S. (R.D.), [1997] 3 S.C.R. 484 at para. 32, 151 D.L.R.
>> (4th) 193).
>>
>> [18]           The Ontario Court of Appeal in Rando Drugs Ltd. v.
>> Scott, 2007 ONCA 553, 86 O.R. (3d) 653 (leave to appeal to the Supreme
>> Court of Canada refused, 32285 (August 1, 2007)), addressed the
>> particular issue of whether a judge is disqualified from hearing a
>> case simply because he had been a member of a law firm that was
>> involved in the litigation that was now before that judge. The Ontario
>> Court of Appeal determined that the judge was not disqualified if the
>> judge had no involvement with the person or the matter when he was a
>> lawyer. The Ontario Court of Appeal also explained that the rules for
>> determining whether a judge is disqualified are different from the
>> rules to determine whether a lawyer has a conflict:
>> 27        Thus, disqualification is not the natural corollary to a
>> finding that a trial judge has had some involvement in a case over
>> which he or she is now presiding. Where the judge had no involvement,
>> as here, it cannot be said that the judge is disqualified.
>>
>>
>> 28        The point can rightly be made that had Mr. Patterson been
>> asked to represent the appellant as counsel before his appointment to
>> the bench, the conflict rules would likely have prevented him from
>> taking the case because his firm had formerly represented one of the
>> defendants in the case. Thus, it is argued how is it that as a trial
>> judge Patterson J. can hear the case? This issue was considered by the
>> Court of Appeal (Civil Division) in Locabail (U.K.) Ltd. v. Bayfield
>> Properties Ltd., [2000] Q.B. 451. The court held, at para. 58, that
>> there is no inflexible rule governing the disqualification of a judge
>> and that, "[e]verything depends on the circumstances."
>>
>>
>> 29        It seems to me that what appears at first sight to be an
>> inconsistency in application of rules can be explained by the
>> different contexts and in particular, the strong presumption of
>> judicial impartiality that applies in the context of disqualification
>> of a judge. There is no such presumption in cases of allegations of
>> conflict of interest against a lawyer because of a firm's previous
>> involvement in the case. To the contrary, as explained by Sopinka J.
>> in MacDonald Estate v. Martin (1990), 77 D.L.R. (4th) 249 (S.C.C.),
>> for sound policy reasons there is a presumption of a disqualifying
>> interest that can rarely be overcome. In particular, a conclusory
>> statement from the lawyer that he or she had no confidential
>> information about the case will never be sufficient. The case is the
>> opposite where the allegation of bias is made against a trial judge.
>> His or her statement that he or she knew nothing about the case and
>> had no involvement in it will ordinarily be accepted at face value
>> unless there is good reason to doubt it: see Locabail, at para. 19.
>>
>>
>> 30        That brings me then to consider the particular circumstances
>> of this case and whether there are serious grounds to find a
>> disqualifying conflict of interest in this case. In my view, there are
>> two significant factors that justify the trial judge's decision not to
>> recuse himself. The first is his statement, which all parties accept,
>> that he knew nothing of the case when it was in his former firm and
>> that he had nothing to do with it. The second is the long passage of
>> time. As was said in Wewaykum, at para. 85:
>>             To us, one significant factor stands out, and must inform
>> the perspective of the reasonable person assessing the impact of this
>> involvement on Binnie J.'s impartiality in the appeals. That factor is
>> the passage of time. Most arguments for disqualification rest on
>> circumstances that are either contemporaneous to the decision-making,
>> or that occurred within a short time prior to the decision-making.
>> 31        There are other factors that inform the issue. The Wilson
>> Walker firm no longer acted for any of the parties by the time of
>> trial. More importantly, at the time of the motion, Patterson J. had
>> been a judge for six years and thus had not had a relationship with
>> his former firm for a considerable period of time.
>>
>>
>> 32        In my view, a reasonable person, viewing the matter
>> realistically would conclude that the trial judge could deal fairly
>> and impartially with this case. I take this view principally because
>> of the long passage of time and the trial judge's lack of involvement
>> in or knowledge of the case when the Wilson Walker firm had carriage.
>> In these circumstances it cannot be reasonably contended that the
>> trial judge could not remain impartial in the case. The mere fact that
>> his name appears on the letterhead of some correspondence from over a
>> decade ago would not lead a reasonable person to believe that he would
>> either consciously or unconsciously favour his former firm's former
>> client. It is simply not realistic to think that a judge would throw
>> off his mantle of impartiality, ignore his oath of office and favour a
>> client - about whom he knew nothing - of a firm that he left six years
>> earlier and that no longer acts for the client, in a case involving
>> events from over a decade ago.
>> (emphasis added)
>>
>> [19]           Justice Webb had no involvement with any matter
>> involving Mr. Amos while he was a member of Patterson Palmer or
>> Patterson Law, nor does Mr. Amos suggest that he did. Mr. Amos made it
>> clear during the hearing of this matter that the only reason for the
>> alleged conflict for Justice Webb was that he was a member of
>> Patterson Law and Patterson Palmer. This is simply not enough for
>> Justice Webb to be disqualified. Any involvement of Mr. Amos with
>> Patterson Law while Justice Webb was a member of that firm would have
>> had to occur over 10 years ago and even longer for the time when he
>> was a member of Patterson Palmer. In addition to the lack of any
>> involvement on his part with any matter or dispute that Mr. Amos had
>> with Patterson Law or Patterson Palmer (which in and of itself is
>> sufficient to dispose of this matter), the length of time since
>> Justice Webb was a member of Patterson Law or Patterson Palmer would
>> also result in the same finding – that there is no conflict in Justice
>> Webb hearing this appeal.
>>
>> [20]           Similarly in R. v. Bagot, 2000 MBCA 30, 145 Man. R.

>>
>> IV.              Analysis
>>
>> A.                 Standard of Review
>>
>> [27]           Following the Judge’s decision to set aside the
>> Prothonotary’s Order, this Court revisited the standard of review to
>> be applied to discretionary decisions of prothonotaries and decisions
>> made by judges on appeals of prothonotaries’ decisions in Hospira
>> Healthcare Corp. v. Kennedy Institute of Rheumatology, 2016 FCA 215,
>> 402 D.L.R. (4th) 497 [Hospira]. In Hospira, a five-member panel of
>> this Court replaced the Aqua-Gem standard of review with that
>> articulated in Housen v. Nikolaisen, 2002 SCC 33, [2002] 2 S.C.R. 235
>> [Housen]. As a result, it is no longer appropriate for the Federal
>> Court to conduct a de novo review of a discretionary order made by a
>> prothonotary in regard to questions vital to the final issue of the
>> case. Rather, a Federal Court judge can only intervene on appeal if
>> the prothonotary made an error of law or a palpable and overriding
>> error in determining a question of fact or question of mixed fact and
>> law (Hospira at para. 79). Further, this Court can only interfere with
>> a Federal Court judge’s review of a prothonotary’s discretionary order
>> if the judge made an error of law or palpable and overriding error in
>> determining a question of fact or question of mixed fact and law
>> (Hospira at paras. 82-83).
>>
>> [28]           In the case at bar, the Judge substituted his own
>> assessment of Mr. Amos’ Claim for that of the Prothonotary. This Court
>> must look to the Prothonotary’s Order to determine whether the Judge
>> erred in law or made a palpable and overriding error in choosing to
>> interfere.
>>
>>
>> B.                 Did the Judge err in interfering with the
>> Prothonotary’s Order?
>>
>> [29]           The Prothontoary’s Order accepted the following
>> paragraphs from the Crown’s submissions as the basis for striking the
>> Claim in its entirety without leave to amend:
>>
>> 17.       Within the 96 paragraph Statement of Claim, the Plaintiff
>> addresses his complaint in paragraphs 14-24, inclusive. All but four
>> of those paragraphs are dedicated to an incident that occurred in 2006
>> in and around the legislature in New Brunswick. The jurisdiction of
>> the Federal Court does not extend to Her Majesty the Queen in right of
>> the Provinces. In any event, the Plaintiff hasn’t named the Province
>> or provincial actors as parties to this action. The incident alleged
>> does not give rise to a justiciable cause of action in this Court.
>> (…)
>>
>>
>> 21.       The few paragraphs that directly address the Defendant
>> provide no details as to the individuals involved or the location of
>> the alleged incidents or other details sufficient to allow the
>> Defendant to respond. As a result, it is difficult or impossible to
>> determine the causes of action the Plaintiff is attempting to advance.
>> A generous reading of the Statement of Claim allows the Defendant to
>> only speculate as to the true and/or intended cause of action. At
>> best, the Plaintiff’s action may possibly be summarized as: he
>> suspects he is barred from the House of Commons.
>> [footnotes omitted].
>>
>>
>> [30]           The Judge determined that he could not strike the Claim
>> on the same jurisdictional basis as the Prothonotary. The Judge noted
>> that the Federal Court has jurisdiction over claims based on the
>> liability of Federal Crown servants like the RCMP and that the actors
>> who barred Mr. Amos from the New Brunswick legislature in 2004
>> included the RCMP (Federal Court Judgment at para. 23). In considering
>> the viability of these allegations de novo, the Judge identified
>> paragraph 14 of the Claim as containing “some precision” as it
>> identifies the date of the event and a RCMP officer acting as
>> Aide-de-Camp to the Lieutenant Governor (Federal Court Judgment at
>> para. 27).
>>
>>
>> [31]           The Judge noted that the 2004 event could support a
>> cause of action in the tort of misfeasance in public office and
>> identified the elements of the tort as excerpted from Meigs v. Canada,
>> 2013 FC 389, 431 F.T.R. 111:
>>
>>
>> [13]      As in both the cases of Odhavji Estate v Woodhouse, 2003 SCC
>> 69 [Odhavji] and Lewis v Canada, 2012 FC 1514 [Lewis], I must
>> determine whether the plaintiffs’ statement of claim pleads each
>> element of the alleged tort of misfeasance in public office:
>>
>> a) The public officer must have engaged in deliberate and unlawful
>> conduct in his or her capacity as public officer;
>>
>> b) The public officer must have been aware both that his or her
>> conduct was unlawful and that it was likely to harm the plaintiff; and
>>
>> c) There must be an element of bad faith or dishonesty by the public
>> officer and knowledge of harm alone is insufficient to conclude that a
>> public officer acted in bad faith or dishonestly.
>> Odhavji, above, at paras 23, 24 and 28
>> (Federal Court Judgment at para. 28).
>>
>> [32]           The Judge determined that Mr. Amos disclosed sufficient
>> material facts to meet the elements of the tort of misfeasance in
>> public office because the actors, who barred him from the New
>> Brunswick legislature in 2004, including the RCMP, did so for
>> “political reasons” (Federal Court Judgment at para. 29).
>>
>> [33]           This Court’s discussion of the sufficiency of pleadings
>> in Merchant Law Group v. Canada (Revenue Agency), 2010 FCA 184, 321
>> D.L.R (4th) 301 is particularly apt:
>>
>> …When pleading bad faith or abuse of power, it is not enough to
>> assert, baldly, conclusory phrases such as “deliberately or
>> negligently,” “callous disregard,” or “by fraud and theft did steal”.
>> “The bare assertion of a conclusion upon which the court is called
>> upon to pronounce is not an allegation of material fact”. Making bald,
>> conclusory allegations without any evidentiary foundation is an abuse
>> of process…
>>
>> To this, I would add that the tort of misfeasance in public office
>> requires a particular state of mind of a public officer in carrying
>> out the impunged action, i.e., deliberate conduct which the public
>> officer knows to be inconsistent with the obligations of his or her
>> office. For this tort, particularization of the allegations is
>> mandatory. Rule 181 specifically requires particularization of
>> allegations of “breach of trust,” “wilful default,” “state of mind of
>> a person,” “malice” or “fraudulent intention.”
>> (at paras. 34-35, citations omitted).
>>
>> [34]           Applying the Housen standard of review to the
>> Prothonotary’s Order, we are of the view that the Judge interfered
>> absent a legal or palpable and overriding error.
>>
>> [35]           The Prothonotary determined that Mr. Amos’ Claim
>> disclosed no reasonable claim and was fundamentally vexatious on the
>> basis of jurisdictional concerns and the absence of material facts to
>> ground a cause of action. Paragraph 14 of the Claim, which addresses
>> the 2004 event, pleads no material facts as to how the RCMP officer
>> engaged in deliberate and unlawful conduct, knew that his or her

>>
>> [36]           In our view, the Claim is made up entirely of bare

'Intelligence is not truth': Why prosecuting foreign election interference is rare

Using intelligence to pursue law enforcement matters continues to be a challenge: David Vigneault

On Thursday Michael Duheme, a deputy commissioner of the RCMP, fielded questions from MPs about why there are no active RCMP investigations underway into the last election. 

"We are not investigating any elements from the 2019 or the 2021 elections. We did not receive any actionable intelligence that would warrant us to initiate a criminal investigation," said Duheme, who oversees federal policing. 

"No charges have been laid."

His testimony touched on the perennial problem of "intelligence to evidence"— the gap between the information intelligence agencies have and what police forces need for prosecutions.

The problem has come to the fore as MPs probe claims — from media reports relying on intelligence leaks — that the People's Republic of China (PRC) and its agents are behind a campaign of foreign interference in Canadian politics.

Citing classified Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) sources, the Globe and Mail and Global News have published stories alleging China tried to ensure that the Liberals won a minority government in the last general election. The newspaper also published reports saying Beijing worked to defeat Conservative candidates who were critical of China.

Global News reported that CSIS had gone so far as to urge senior Liberal Party officials to revoke Han Dong's nomination in a Toronto riding in 2019, where he is the current MP.

As former CSIS director Richard Fadden told CBC's Front Burner, CSIS, police and the legal system have different mandates.

"This is all based on our charter rights and our rights in the Criminal Code to protect people from overtly facile, overly easy investigations by the police. They need to have their standard met, not CSIS's standard met," he said.

"Intelligence agencies — not just CSIS but intelligence agencies around the world — collect a lot of intelligence and a lot of it is not used because it doesn't reach the bar of being convincing enough from the perspective of those professional standards."

Fadden still said that, given the recent reporting, he is somewhat surprised at the lack of an investigation. 

"If everything that was written by your colleagues in the media is taken as accurate, I'm a little bit surprised that there's not something there," he said.

The trouble with intelligence sources

Stephanie Carvin, a security expert and professor at the Norman Paterson School of International Affairs, told CBC News Network's Power & Politics on Wednesday that intelligence reports rely on sources of information that can't always be trusted or confirmed.

"It can give you a picture of what's going on but sources don't always give you the 100 per cent truth, and that's something we have to keep in mind," Carvin said. 

"Sources are human. They can get things wrong, they can report rumours, they can lie," she said. "People who are being wiretapped may know that they are being wiretapped, so they can say things that are trying to deliberately mislead people."

Carvin said it's not clear whether the intelligence information cited in the media reports comes from single sources or is based on multiple sources that have been cross-referenced. 

Intelligence is not truth
- Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs David Morrison 

"We're getting the information that's in these reports, but the information isn't evidence. It may not be 100 per cent true and we should read them with a critical eye," she said.

Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs David Morrison, who served on an independent panel to monitor incidents that could have threatened the 2021 election's integrity, said intelligence gathered by CSIS and other national security bodies "rarely paints a full or concrete or actionable picture."

"Intelligence is not truth," he told Thursday's committee.

"It is often inaccurate or partial or incomplete, or in fact designed to throw us off our track."

CSIS head cites ongoing 'challenges'

While it's not clear what intelligence was passed to the RCMP about claims that Beijing interfered in Canadian elections, the information-sharing relationship between CSIS and the RCMP has been problematic.

2021 report by the National Security and Intelligence Review Agency, one of the country's intelligence watchdogs, said flaws in the way Canada's spy agency and the national police force share information are stalling investigations.

"Despite frequent verbal exchanges between CSIS and RCMP headquarters, CSIS's formal disclosures of information have been very limited and not always useful," said the NSIRA report.

"Frontline RCMP investigators derive little benefit from CSIS's work."

Reports on election interference are 'rumours': deputy minister of Foreign Affairs

Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs David Morrison told MPs on the procedure and House affairs committee that intelligence reports 'rarely paint a full or concrete or actionable picture' as he disparaged media reports about foreign interference in elections.

CSIS director David Vigneault told a parliamentary committee on Thursday that since his agency was founded in 1984, "elaborate processes" have been developed to help the RCMP and CSIS share information.

"I think the committee has heard some of the challenges that exist in using intelligence and passing it on to law enforcement agencies or investigative bodies because intelligence is not a question of evidence," Vigneault said.

He said that the process for sharing intelligence information remains complex and is the subject of discussions between CSIS, the RCMP and the Department of Justice.

"The notion of using intelligence to pursue law enforcement matters continues to be a challenge that a number of organizations are actively working on," Vigneault told the committee.

 "But we do have robust process with the RCMP and with other investigative bodies to do such an exchange."

The federal government has been warned in the past that failing to address questions about intelligence-sharing could put a number of national security court cases at risk and undermine Ottawa's national security efforts.

Another CSIS official said in recent days legislative changes may be needed.

"I would suggest the government has been wrestling with [this] for some time now and it's not just in Canada," said Adam Fisher, director general of intelligence assessments at CSIS.

"Our colleagues at Public Safety certainly have this on their plate."

Federal election watchdog launches review into foreign interference complaints

Commissioner of Canada Elections is probing allegations Beijing meddled in Canada's democracy

In response to recent reports about Chinese interference in Canada's democracy, Caroline Simard said Thursday that her office has received serious complaints about meddling that demand a closer look.

Simard said her office — which probes all alleged election violations, not just claims of foreign meddling — received 158 complaints concerning the 2019 election dealing with "10 situations." There have been 16 complaints regarding "13 situations" in the 2021 campaign. Simard said all of those complaints have since been resolved.

After Global News reported claims last fall that China operates "a vast campaign of foreign interference" in Canadian politics, Simard said her office received three more complaints about Beijing's alleged meddling.

Work is underway now to determine whether there's merit to those complaints, she said.

"I am seized with the importance of this issue … as well as the need to reassure Canadians under these exceptional circumstances," Simard said.

"We have conducted a rigorous and thorough review of every complaint and every piece of information that has been brought to our attention concerning allegations of foreign interference," she said. "This review is ongoing as I speak, to see if there's tangible evidence of wrongdoing under the Canada Elections Act."

Top security adviser grilled over foreign meddling in Canadian elections

Duration 3:13
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s national security adviser was among the public officials grilled by MPs about Chinese meddling in Canadian democracy. Jody Thomas declined to provide specifics, but told MPs Beijing represents the ‘greatest threat.’

Simard said her office's work is conducted impartially; there's no link between her office and the federal government of the day, the public service or Elections Canada, the federal body that actually runs elections.

Canada's election laws forbid anyone who is not a Canadian citizen or permanent resident from contributing to political parties, candidates, electoral district associations, or leadership and nomination contestants. Foreign entities also can't contribute to "third parties" registered to spend in an election.

During an election period, it is also illegal for any foreign person or entity to "unduly influence" an elector to vote or refrain from voting for a particular candidate or registered party.

Last month, Global News cited unnamed sources saying that national security officials briefed Prime Minister Justin Trudeau about Liberal MP Han Dong.

The news outlet said CSIS has identified Dong as "a witting affiliate in China's election interference networks." Global also reported Dong was one of the 11 candidates allegedly supported by Beijing in the 2019 election.

CSIS reportedly told Trudeau that China's consulate in Toronto floated cash to at least 11 federal election candidates "and numerous Beijing operatives" who worked as campaign staffers.

Global said Dong was preferred over another candidate because he was considered "a close friend of the Toronto Consulate."

The news outlet said Chinese international students with fake addresses allegedly were bussed into Dong's Toronto-area riding and coerced to vote in his favour at a nomination meeting.

Asked about the legality of foreign sources paying for buses to support a nomination candidate, Stéphane Perrault, the chief electoral officer of Elections Canada, said such activity would be a clear violation of the Canada Elections Act.

Paying for buses would be considered "a contribution in-kind." Only a Canadian citizen or permanent resident can make that sort of donation.

He said that if Elections Canada received a complaint like this, it would be referred to Simard's office for an investigation.

Senior official raises questions about 'intelligence'

The Critical Election Incident Public Protocol (CEIPP) is an independent panel that was struck by the Liberal government to monitor incidents that threaten an election's integrity.

David Morrison, the deputy minister of foreign affairs and a member of the CEIPP, told MPs on the procedure and House affairs committee Thursday that, while the panel received reports about alleged foreign interference, the body concluded that this interference did not threaten Canada's ability to have a free and fair election in 2021.

The panel did not act because the information it received about possible meddling didn't meet a "very high threshold" to go public with any concerns, Morrison said.

Morrison, who is one of the country's top bureaucrats, also cautioned MPs about some of the supposed "intelligence" that has been leaked and reported in the press. He said that MPs, the media and the public need to be "clear-eyed" about the value of intelligence.

He said intelligence gathered by CSIS or other national security bodies "rarely paints a full or concrete or actionable picture. Intelligence almost always comes heavily caveated and qualified."

Invoking the faulty "intelligence" used by U.S. officials to justify the 2003 invasion of Iraq, Morrison said intelligence is routinely wrong. Intelligence, he said, is not necessarily an account of what happened but is rather an account of what someone said might have happened.

"Intel that gets leaked and is then taken out of context, for example a report from a single, uncorroborated source, if that report instantly becomes taken as fact, this can actually be prejudicial to Canada's national security," Morrison said. 

"There is nothing our adversaries would like more than to divide Canadians and call into question the very institutions that keep us safe and free, including our electoral processes.

"Intelligence needs to be seen for what it is and what it is not and if that doesn't happen, we will all end up much worse off."

MPs grill national security officials over alleged Chinese election interference

Ontario Liberal MP Ruby Sahota, Conservative ethics critic Michael Barrett and NDP democratic reform critic Daniel Blaikie debate the need for a public inquiry into foreign interference in Canadian elections.

China is the 'principal threat' to Canada: CSIS

David Vigneault, the director of CSIS, told MPs that he wasn't able to confirm media reports that some candidates have been co-opted by Chinese agents.

Vigneault said national security law requires that he remain tight-lipped about intelligence collected and shared with the prime minister and his cabinet.

He said CSIS has launched an investigation to find out who leaked sensitive details of the allegations to the Globe and Mail and Global News.

Vigneault said, however, that the People's Republic of China is the "principal threat" to Canada and its institutions.

He said Canada's spy agency "takes allegations of foreign interference very seriously" and vowed to "use its authorities" to try to "reduce the threat."

(Adrian Wyld/The Canadian Press)

When asked why there are no pending criminal investigations into foreign election interference, Vigneault acknowledged it's difficult to use intelligence in a criminal case.

The standards in a court of law are different from the standards used in the gathering of intelligence.

CSIS is also concerned about protecting its methods, its operations, its human and technical sources and employees, so there are limits on what the agency can freely shared with the RCMP, he said.

"It's a complex process. Intelligence is not a question of evidence," Vigneault said.

"Challenges exist in using intelligence and passing it on to law enforcement. Using intelligence to pursue law enforcement matters continues to be a challenge that a number of organizations are actively working on."

Michel Duheme is the deputy commissioner of federal policing with the RCMP. He said the force is "not investigating any elements from the 2019 or the 2021 elections."

"We did not receive any actionable intelligence that warrant us to initiate a criminal investigation. No charges have been laid," he said.

Mayor of Fundy-St. Martins rankled by large tax increases

Some parts of the new village are getting a 20-cent hike in their property tax rate

New Brunswick's municipal reforms were touted as a way to give more say to rural residents who never had representation before, but the mayor of Fundy-St. Martins says some residents of his recently expanded village are feeling powerless in the face of big property tax increases.

"It was handed down to us," said Jim Bedford, who got his first look at his community's budget in mid-January, but is getting a better idea how residents are affected, as bills begin to arrive in the mail.

Even he is at a loss to understand the exact reasons behind the tax hikes.

The rates in some areas of the village, located in southern N.B., are going up by 15 to 20 cents, which will cost an average homeowner about $200, said Bedford.

The most disappointing thing in his view is that residents had no input. "It's, 'Pay it and have a good day,'" he said.

"'Here it is. This is what it's going to cost you.' And we get nothing in return." 

Because of the timeline of municipal reforms and elections of new councils, this year's municipal budget was formulated by the provincial government.

"It kind of blindsided us that we would see this much of an increase," said Bedford. "It would have been nice even for the previous council to have had some input into it."

Properties in the Fairfield area are seeing their rate increase by 15 cents. (GNB)

Under local governance reforms by the province, many factors could be at play with respect to higher tax rates, said Phillippe Ouellette, CEO of the Fundy Regional Services Commission, of which Fundy-St. Martins is a member.

A lot of change is happening, said Ouellette, and there are "challenges."

One factor is that local government entities are new or expanded. That means they have higher operating costs, but it also means they are providing services to residents who previously didn't have them.

Fundy-St. Martins is by no means alone in that. For example, said Ouellette, Hampton, which is also a member of the commission, has doubled in both size and population under the reforms. That would certainly have an impact, he said.

Fundy-St. Martins does have new administrative costs, said Bedford, such as a new chief administrative officer and council pay. But a large chunk of its $2.7-million budget is going to the regional service commission, he said.

The commission is getting more funding to go with its broader mandate, said Ouellette.

It used to deal with land planning and the regional landfill. Now, it has six new areas of responsibility, as well: economic development, tourism promotion, regional facilities, regional transportation, regional public safety and community development.

Municipal council members may not be able to point to exactly what they're getting for their higher taxes now, but the commission will provide a forum to work a lot of that out, said the CEO. The model is intended to empower each local government, he said.

Phillippe Ouellette, CEO of the Fundy Regional Service Commission, says member communities will have many ways to get value for tax dollars that are helping to fund its expanded services. (Phil Ouellette/LinkedIn)

With the exception of economic development and tourism promotion — which have been contracted out to Envision Saint John — committees will be set up to deal with every other commission responsibility, with representation on each from across the region.

The mayors, who make up the commission board, will be able to collaborate on decisions about big ticket items, said Ouellette.

The transportation committee, for example, might propose a trail system that spans the region, if they decide that should be a priority, or initiatives surrounding train safety, which many communities seem to share concerns about.

Amalgamation is "probably good," said Bedford, but "mandated services" create "a burden."

He suspects the highest tax-rate increases in his community were imposed on areas that previously opted out of contributing to operate a rink in St. Martins and that now everyone in the new community is being required to pitch in.

Bedford said he hopes council will have more say in the municipal budget next year, but he is expecting another tax hike as contributions are mandated for other regional facilities.

Regional facilities are one of the higher cost factors in the commission's budget, Ouellette acknowledged. But if the Fundy-St. Martins tax increases have anything to do with the St. Martins rink, it's not related to "regional facility" contributions.

There are only five designated regional facilities under the purview of the Fundy Regional Services Commission — TD Station, the Saint John Arts Centre, the Saint John Trade and Convention Centre, the Canada Games Aquatic Centre and the Imperial Theatre, all in Saint John.

Community development is the broadest new governance mandate, said Ouellette. It encompasses social inclusion, newcomer settlement, diversity promotion, affordable housing and healthy communities.

Some of those are big ticket items, but Ouellette said they also provide many opportunities to "drive value" to residents of the Fundy region.

There will be other budget pressures in Fundy-St. Martins, said the mayor.

It currently has a "break-even" budget, and no money for capital repairs. The fire station is outdated, for example, but the community can't afford to replace it, said Bedford, unless it borrows the money or raises taxes again.

"We certainly don't want to do that," he said.

Bedford said the new council will have to be creative, but he's optimistic they'll overcome the challenges. 

CBC News contacted the provincial government for more details on the factors behind the tax hikes in Fundy-St. Martins. No response had been received by publication time.

Irving Oil had $250-million profit when it won tax break from city and province

Leaked financial documents show company was consistent money-maker, even during global crash

Jacques Poitras, Frédéric Zalac · CBC News · Posted: Nov 14, 2022 5:00 AM AST

Irving Oil raked in a quarter of a billion dollars in profits in the same year it persuaded Saint John city council and the New Brunswick government to hand it a 25-year tax break, leaked documents show.

The company made $250.7 million in 2005, a year in which Saint John capped Canaport LNG's property tax bill at $500,000.

The cost to the city was estimated at $112 million over a quarter-century.

The tax break required special provincial legislation, which Bernard Lord's Progressive Conservative government passed later in 2005.

The huge profits were not known publicly, and Kenneth Irving, CEO of Irving Oil at the time, argued the tax break was make-or-break for the LNG project.

"Companies are putting a lot of money at risk," he told the Telegraph-Journal newspaper in 2005.

"They have to be sure they are landing on the right beach when they are investing this kind of capital."

Service NB's assessment on latest Irving Oil headquarters differs from newly built schools

Some schools assessed at near 100% of construction cost, while Irving Oil was only assessed at 65%

Robert Jones · CBC News · Posted: Jun 30, 2020 7:56 AM ADT

Service New Brunswick's decision to value Irving Oil's new headquarters building for property taxes as being worth at least $30 million less than it cost to build, is a mystery in Saint John made deeper by other buildings the agency has recently valued at or near their full construction cost.

But one expert says it's not unusual for assessors to put a low value on a private development to avoid triggering a fight with a major landowner.

"Assessors are notoriously understaffed and have an inability to really tackle things aggressively when you've got a major player," said Derek Holloway, a former assessment auditor in British Columbia, who writes on assessment issues.

"A lot of times they don't even have the expertise on staff to do it. They may be under assessing and then nobody appeals."

Assessment increases on Saint John industrial properties retracted by Service New Brunswick

Agency also backs out of promised valuation review of oil refinery

Robert Jones · CBC News · Posted: Jul 04, 2022 6:00 AM ADT

A series of 2022 property tax assessments by Service New Brunswick involving industrial sites in Saint John that went up and then back down following objections from owners is adding to concerns about how the agency values property in the city.

"I have watched this for the last five, six, seven, eight years. I definitely don't think we get a fair shake," said Saint John councillor Gerry Lowe.

"We're totally surrounded by heavy industry and we pay the highest taxes in this province and that's what's wrong."

Updated property assessments for Saint John at the end of May show adjustments made by Service New Brunswick since notices for 2022 were first mailed to property owners last October. These include nearly $2 million in reductions on a number of industry-linked properties that the agency originally had assigned higher taxable values.

It's no surprise that the Irvings get all these tax breaks, regardless of the government stripes at any point in time. That just seems, sadly, to be "the way it is" here in the province.

I wonder if it will ever change.

If so, doubt that I'll ever see it happen.

Didn't help us when a $50M civic centre with praise from a Liberal MLA back bencher at the time which was built in a small village to host the annual tractor pull. He's now the mayor of the newly formed LG district. We know how liberals like to spend lavishly on play time. Besides the tractor pull, there might be 2 craft fairs. The village moved their office into it during the last provincial election so the old office became the local MLA office. In 2008 the village said they can only pay the bills with what money they bring in. They then blew $40,000 on a digital sign that says thank you to volunteers, which was erected in the middle of a school zone. The only volunteers I know of are those in the fire hall. There's been a fund raiser billboard in the school yard now for 5 years for other things we can't afford.

Hi Mr. Amos,

Following the following interview on the morning of May 18th, you undertook
to contact me: CBC St-John May 18:
https://www.cbc.ca/listen/live-radio/1-28-information-morning-saint-john/clip/15843684-lsd-reps-share-thoughts-reform

In reference to the summary of the conversation you had with Mrs. Sylvie
Martin from the office of the local LSD manager in Edmundston where she
would have informed you in an affirmative way that I will no longer be in
position on the advisory committee of my LSD after May 31st.  You then gave
me her phone number (735-2763) to confirm that we were talking about the
same person.

As part of a province-wide file, the New Brunswick Association of Local
Service Districts (ALSDNB ), a file is being compiled to identify as many
irregularities as possible in reference to these makeshift elections under
section 170(2) of the Local Government Act. To that effect, please confirm
our discussion of May 18th and add any other details you deem relevant.

Thank you for your cooperation and your interest in the fairness of our
democratic system.

Jules Bossé
President of the ALSDNB

Province helps mend rift between communities after service commission dissolved
Board serving 18 towns and rural communities in Sussex-Hampton
dissolved last month amid budget dispute

Commission 8. The facility is at the heart of a dispute that pits
rural communities against the region's incorporated communities. (RSC
8)

The Department of Local Government will arrange training and mediation
to help mend a rift between the towns and many rural communities in
the greater Sussex-Hampton area.

The volunteer board serving that region's service commission was
dissolved by Local Government Minister Jeff Carr in early February
after it became hopelessly divided over the 2019 budget.

Brenda Knight, a retired municipal administrator, has been appointed
trustee to oversee operations in the board's stead.

On March 5, Knight approved a budget for the commission, which will be
presented to representatives of the four municipalities and 14 local
service districts in coming weeks.

In the meantime, Erika Jutras, a Department of Local Government
spokeswoman, said the trustee will remain in place until either
members "demonstrate" they can work together or the next municipal
elections in May 2020, whichever comes first.

Division over solid waste costs

The board split last fall over how solid waste management costs were
to be divided between the towns and unincorporated rural communities,
called local service districts.

Many of the board members representing LSDs feel they are paying too
much for waste management.

Mary Ann Coleman chairs the LSD Advisory Committee for Waterford,
which has a population of approximately 500.

    Minister removed member of Sussex-area commission after harassment complaint

    Service commission fired after months of deadlock over budget

She says costs should be allocated strictly on how waste is generated
by each community.

The current cost formula involves a combination of a levee on the
amount of trash collected and a fixed amount for each community that
is dedicated to providing stable funding for the region's waste
transfer station in Sussex.

"It's important in my mind that we keep the costs of services, as much
as we can, down for people," said Coleman.

"This has an impact on the taxes for people in rural areas."

She says the costs to operate the waste transfer station should be
taken entirely from tipping fees, which would cost the towns more and
the LSDs less.

Proposed budget 'didn't suit' some municipalities

James McCrea was chair of the service commission board at the time it
was dissolved.

McCrea, who is from the LSD of Wickham, says the costs are not being
distributed fairly, based on trash volumes alone, and that goes
against the intent of regulations set out by the province.

"It was a fair budget, it was a really good budget that was proposed.
But it didn't suit some of the municipalities and a couple of the
local service districts," said McCrea.

Speaking to CBC last month, Sussex Mayor Marc Thorne said the budget
proposed by the LSDs threatened the future of the region's waste
transfer station and recycling operations because the station requires
stable funding year-to-year while trash volumes fluctuate.

McCrea says in asking for the change to the funding formula the rural
communities are not trying to threaten the viability of the transfer
station.

"There's never been a problem existed that can't be dealt with and
fixed, but everyone has to work together and share the costs."

Methinks it would be interesting to see what Bernadette Jordan
Canada’s inaugural minister of rural economic development thinks of
this spit and chew about our garbage We already know what our former
MP thinks of her position N'esy Pas?

New rural development minister is first female Nova Scotia MP named to
federal cabinet
By Holly McKenzie-Sutter The Canadian Press January 14, 2019 3:07 pm

"Rob Moore, Conservative shadow minister for Atlantic Canada, wished
Jordan well with her new portfolio, but questioned Trudeau’s motives
so close to October’s federal election.

Moore said the new portfolio “appears to just be a communications
exercise” that may stand for too little, too late.

“It appears to be just to give off the impression that they’re
connected or concerned with Atlantic issues, when in fact the last
three years tells us that Atlantic and rural issues are on the
backburner,” Moore said.

Trudeau’s cabinet came under fire from some Atlantic Canadians when
Navdeep Bains, a Mississauga MP, was put in charge of the Atlantic
Canada Opportunities Agency.

Criticism also followed when New Brunswick MP Dominic LeBlanc was
shuffled out of the Fisheries portfolio to be replaced with Jonathan
Wilkinson, who represents North Vancouver.

Jordan said Monday the government has a genuine commitment to rural Canada.

“I think it’s an unfortunate thing that people don’t consider rural
important, because rural is extremely important to this government,
we’re showing that,” she said."

Tory wave sweeps across Saint John region as PCs win 9 seats

All but one Saint John-area riding elects Progressive Conservatives on Monday

The Saint John region has been painted Tory blue, electing Progressive Conservatives in all but one of 10 ridings.

That includes the resounding defeat of long-serving Liberal cabinet minister Rick Doucet, who lost by more than 1,300 votes to Progressive Conservative Andrea Anderson Mason in Fundy-The Isles-Saint John West.

City councillor Gerry Lowe will be the only Liberal MLA from the Saint John region.

He won Saint John Harbour by 10 votes, edging out retired teacher and Progressive Conservative candidate Barry Ogden. NDP Leader Jennifer McKenzie placed a distant third.

Since the riding was decided by fewer than 25 votes, a judicial recount will be automatic upon request.

New Brunswick election night in 90 seconds

Duration 1:40
As PCs claim victory, Liberals try to hold onto power.

Progressive Conservative Leader Blaine Higgs won his seat in Quispamsis handily, as did Tory stalwarts like Ted Flemming (Rothesay), Dorothy Shephard (Saint John Lancaster) and Trevor Holder (Portland-Simonds).

The People's Alliance improved its showing in every riding in the Saint John region where it fielded a candidate.

In Sussex-Fundy-St. Martins, People's Alliance candidate Jim Bedford placed second to Tory incumbent Bruce Northrup.

Portland-Simonds

Progressive Conservative Trevor Holder will serve his sixth term as an MLA after defeating city councillor and Liberal candidate John MacKenzie, capturing 3,168 votes, or more than 53 per cent, to 1,703 for MacKenzie.

The NDP's Kim Blue finished third with 449 votes, while Green Party candidate Sheila Croteau was close behind with 435. Independent candidate Artie Watson received 191 votes.

Holder held cabinet posts in the Bernard Lord and David Alward Tory governments.

Saint John East

Progressive Conservative Glen Savoie will serve a second term as MLA for Saint John East. (Facebook)

Progressive Conservative Glen Savoie will serve a second term, defeating Liberal candidate Clare Manzer by 1,242 votes.

People's Alliance candidate Matthew Thompson placed third with 1,047 votes.

The NDP's Alex White finished fourth, followed by the Green Party's Lynaya Astephen.

Savoie originally lost his bid for the Saint John East seat in 2014, losing to Simonds High School Principal and Liberal candidate Gary Keating by only nine votes.

But in a surprise turn of events, Keating resigned only 22 days after the election. Savoie easily won the byelection to replace Keating with 44 per cent of the vote.

Saint John Harbour

Saint John city councillor and Liberal Gerry Lowe won Saint John Harbour by only 10 votes. (Julia Wright/ CBC)

This riding is notoriously difficult to predict, having voted orange, blue and red in the last 15 years.

In 2014, voters elected Liberal MLA Dr. Ed Doherty but only by 71 votes.

It was even more of a nail-biter this time around.

City councillor and Liberal candidate Gerry Lowe won by 10 votes, edging out Barry Ogden, a community activist and retired teacher who ran for the Progressive Conservatives.

Any past loyalty voters had for former NDP Leader Elizabeth Weir must feel quite distant now. Current NDP Leader Jennifer McKenzie finished third.

Green Party candidate Wayne Dryer — who ran for the NDP in 2010, before switching to the Green Party in 2014 — received 721 votes.

People's Alliance candidate Margot Brideau received 393 votes.

The results may be subject to a recount. 

Saint John Lancaster

Progressive Conservative Dorothy Shephard has been re-elected. (Brian Chisholm/CBC)

Voters in west Saint John re-elected Progressive Conservative Dorothy Shephard for a third term.

Liberal candidate Kathleen Riley-Karamanos finished with 1,727 votes, followed by People's Alliance candidate Paul Seelye.

The Green Party fielded Doug James and the NDP candidate was Tony Mowery.

Last December, Shephard announced she was taking a leave from the legislature to battle breast cancer.

Earlier this month, she received her final radiation treatment.

"We're almost through this and I am so grateful for the medical professionals who have taken care of me," Shephard wrote in a Facebook post at the time.

Shephard served as minister of healthy and inclusive communities in the David Alward government.

Fundy-The Isles-Saint John West

   PC newcomer Andrea Anderson Mason defeated Liberal cabinet minister Rick Doucet in Fundy-The Isles-Saint John West. (Julia Wright / CBC) 

Longtime Liberal Rick Doucet won by a landslide in 2014, beating the late Dr. Jim (Doc) Parrot, a one-time PC MLA, by more than 2,600 votes.

But it was Doucet who was on the other side of a landslide this time.

Progressive Conservative newcomer Andrea Anderson Mason won with 3,808 votes to Doucet's 2,422.

The People's Alliance candidate, Doug Ellis, finished third with 1,104 votes.

Romey Frances Heuff, carrying the Green Party banner, received 469 votes, while the NDP's Keith LeBlanc got 203 votes.

Doucet held the energy and resource development and agriculture, aquaculture and fisheries portfolios in the Gallant government. He was also government house Leader.

Quispamsis

There were no surprises in this suburban riding. PC Leader Blaine Higgs won his riding handily, winning almost 57 per cent of the vote. 

Liberal Aaron Kennedy finished second, with 2,078 votes, followed by People's Alliance candidate Keith Porter.

The Green Party's Mark Woolsey finished fourth and NDP candidate Ryan Jewkes placed last with 239 votes.

Rothesay

    PC Ted Flemming was re-elected in Rothesay. (CBC)

Like its Kennebecasis Valley neighbour, Rothesay also went blue by a wide margin.

Progressive Conservative Ted Flemming defeated Liberal candidate Stephanie Tomilson for the second time.

People's Alliance candidate Michael Griffin finished in third place with 722 votes.

The Green Party's Ann McAllister received 571 votes, while the NDP's Josh Floyd got 251 votes.

Flemming was first elected in 2012 byelection. He was a member of  Alward's cabinet, first as health minister and then as attorney general.

Kings Centre

Progressive Conservative Bill Oliver was re-elected in Kings Centre. (CBC)

Progressive Conservative Bill Oliver will spend another four years as the MLA for Kings Centre.

The new riding was created in 2013. It runs from Welsford up to Norton, encompassing parts of the old Fundy-River Valley and Hampton-Kings ridings.

Oliver garnered 3,267 votes, good enough for 43 per cent of the vote.

Liberal Bill Merrifield finished a distant second, followed by People's Alliance candidate Dave Peters.

Green Party candidate Bruce Dryer finished fourth. NDP candidate Susan Jane Shedd received 342 votes.

Hampton

Hampton elected retired school principal and Progressive Conservative Gary Crossman for a second term, garnering nearly half of the votes in the riding.

The Liberals fielded Carley Parish, a local lawyer. She finished second, followed closely by People's Alliance candidate Dana Hansen.

The Green Party ran John Sabine in the riding, while the NDP candidate was Layton Peck.

Sussex-Fundy-St. Martins

 Tory Bruce Northrup was re-elected in Sussex-Fundy-St. Martins. (CBC)

Progressive Conservative Bruce Northrup has been re-elected for a fourth term, winning by more than 1,900 votes.

Sussex-Fundy-St. Martins was the best showing for the People's Alliance in the Saint John region. Candidate Jim Bedford came second with more than 1,800 votes.

Liberal Ian Smyth placed third, followed by Green Party candidate Fred Harrison, the NDP's Dawna Robertson and independent candidate David Raymond Amos.

Northrup was a key part of Alward's cabinet, serving as minister of natural resources. He was later appointed minister of public safety and solicitor general.

What's in a name? Some Acadians have long struggled with Université de Moncton

What's in a name? Some Acadians have long struggled with Université de Moncton

Root of the issues goes back to the 1755 Acadian explusion and the role of Col. Robert Monckton

The university was named after the city — which was named for Robert Monckton, an 18th-century British military figure who was involved in the deportation of Acadians.

The issue of whether to rename the Université de Moncton goes back as far as the university's incorporation in 1963. According to a local historian, the "yes" and "no" camps on the issue are typically divided along regional lines, though it can depend on the parties involved in the debate.

"People who want to keep the name are, not surprisingly, in southern New Brunswick, mostly in the Moncton region," said Maurice Basque, a historian and scientific advisor at the Institut d'études acadiennes at Université de Moncton.

"Because the name is not only the name of the university, it's also the name of the city. And when you're an Acadian living in Moncton, or a newcomer who comes to Moncton, and after years or decades, you really don't think about Robert Monckton every day."

A man with thin grey hair stands in front of a dark brown wooden book case full of books. He is wearing a dark turquoise sweater with a collar and glasses. Maurice Basque. a Moncton historian, said the university was not named after Robert Monckton, but was named after the city. 'Some people will say it's exactly the same thing. Other people will say no, there's a big difference.' (Submitted by Maurice Basque)

Basque pointed out that while most Acadians, especially those who attend the university, know who Robert Monckton is, he is hardly celebrated in the city. He said there are no statues of him, nor people dressing as him at city historical events.

However, Monckton, as a British military officer who was directly involved in the imprisonment and deportation of the Acadians, is still a very controversial figure.

"The nuance is important," said Basque. "The university was not named after Robert Monckton. The university was named after the city, the city was named after Robert Monckton. So some people will say it's exactly the same thing. Other people will say no, there's a big difference."

He said the first president and founder of the university, Clémont Cormier, was a proud Moncton Acadian.

"All his life he promoted good relationships between Acadians and anglophones," said Basque. "And for him, taking the name of the city would be saying the city also belongs to us, not only to anglophones."

However, Basque says some Acadians see it as a concession to anglophones.

Even if there was enough interest in changing the name, he sees achieving consensus on choosing a name as nearly impossible. The university has three campuses, including one in Edmundston and one in Shippagan, many donors, alumni and other parties to account for in such a decision. 

Historically, Basque explained, that was also a reason for naming it after the city where it was located — the university was incorporated by combining six other francophone colleges and they needed a name that worked for everyone.

Debate reignited

Denis Prud'homme, the president and vice-chancellor of the Université de Moncton, said recently he is open to considering renaming of the university if there is pronounced public interest. 

He made the comment in response to Green Party MLA Kevin Arseneau asking whether Prud'homme would consider changing the name, during a meeting of the select committee on public universities in the New Brunswick legislature.

A man with short light grey hair is seated in a wood chair at the legislative assembly. He is wearing a navy blue suit, white dress shirt and dark tie, and has glasses. He is leaning forward on the table in front of him, where there is a stack of papers and a lit microphone. He looks towards someone sitting across from him, slightly to his left. Denis Prud'homme, president and vice-chancellor of the Université de Moncton, has left the door open to discussions on the school's name. (Legislative Assembly of New Brunswick)

"If there is a group, social consensus, on this issue, we will listen and we will do things how they should be done," said Prud'homme, speaking in French. "We will listen and act if there is a critical mass who demonstrates that this issue was a blind spot and should be put back on our radar."

Prud'homme said a letter requesting the change of name had been submitted previously to the board of governors of the university, but there was a decision by all parties at the table not to proceed with it at that time. 

'More openness' to change, MLA says

Renaming was also brought up by the public during the university's consultations leading up to their recent strategic planning, he said, but was not held up as a priority by the participants.

According to Arseneau, who represents the riding of Kent North, changing the name has been a discussion that seems to come up every few years for as long as he can remember, but no action has ever been taken.

He said he was "very pleased" by the response from Prud'homme, saying it was more openness to the idea than he or the institution had shown in the past.

"Lately, there's this movement of a lot of community members from the Acadian community," said Arseneau. "To have a name that better reflects the importance and the place that the University of Moncton takes for Acadians and for francophones in New Brunswick." 

MLA Kevin Arseneau said the next step involves gathering information about a possible name change, a process he said he will follow with interest. . (CBC)

Arseneau believes the most recent discussion was brought on by an open letter written in French by Jean-Marie Nadeau last month, who suggested the university adopt the name Université de l'Acadie.

However Arseneau, an alumnus of Université de Moncton, admits there are some in the Acadian community who do not consider the university's name an issue worth pursuing.

Progressive Conservative MLA Daniel Allain said, speaking in French at the committee meeting, said that following the renaming of some communities as part of local governance reform, he thinks it can be good exercise to reflect on who we are and our vision for the future.

However, he added that he trusts that Clément Cormier and then-premier Louis-J. Robichaud knew what they were doing when they chose the name years ago.

One other former president of the university, Jean-Bernard Robichaud, president from 1990 to 2000, also expressed he may be open to a name change for the institution but was met with swift disapproval from influential Acadians in the Moncton area, Basque said.

Arseneau sees the next step as gathering information, a process he said he will follow it with interest.

"I think that the whole thought process is the most important right now," he said.

To be clear, I would prefer a comprehensive anglophone UNB-Moncton to complement the francophone University de Moncton (or whatever). I don't want to encroach upon their turf. An anglophone university for Moncton is necessary as a counterbalance, especially in terms of fairness. Anglophone students in greater Moncton desiring to go to university HAVE to leave home, and, this necessarily means that the cost of a university education for anglophone Monctonians effectively doubles (or more). A bachelor level degree would cost an anglophone in Moncton over $50,000 more than his francophone neighbour. Is this fair? Why is Moncton the largest anglophone community in Canada without an anglophone university? Is there a reason? UdeM has three campuses. UNB could afford to have three campuses too.

More like 30 minutes, and the commute can be pretty treacherous in the middle of winter. Sorry, but I don't want my children risking their lives to go to university in February. This means that if you want your child to go to Mount Allison, then they will have to live down there (with the $10,000-12,000 financial penalty of university dorms or apartment). Also, MTA is more of a small elite Ivy League national university than it is a provincial comprehensive university. Enrollment is limited and admission standards are high. Many anglophone Monctonians wouldn't be able to attend even if they wanted. We still need a UNB-Moncton to province fairness and to counterbalance UdeM.

Lawsuits claim thousands in unpaid bills connected to N.B. special care homes operator

Companies suing Amarjeet Singh Jatana for more than $15,000 in connection to Neguac special care homes

Two companies have filed small claims lawsuits against Amarjeet Singh Jatana for services and goods provided to Villa Neguac and Foyer St-Bernard, which they allege were never paid.

The lawsuits by G.M Comeau Plumbing Ltd. and Miramichi Meat Ltd. amount to $15,621.51, according to documents obtained from the Miramichi Court of King's Bench.

They're the latest to be filed against Jatana, who's already facing lawsuits claiming he owes more than $790,000 in connection to other business ventures he's been involved with in New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island.

Marc Comeau of G.M. Comeau Plumbing is seeking $8,007.68 in unpaid services at Foyer St-Bernard, including interest on three invoiced amounts from February, July and August of last year.

Comeau said he was unable to comment on the lawsuit Friday.

CBC News wasn't able to contact Jatana for comment Friday, and calls made to Foyer St-Bernard went immediately to voicemail.

Miramichi Meat filed two lawsuits, each targeting Villa Neguac and Foyer St-Bernard, with Jatana also named in both of them.

In the suit naming Villa Neguac and Jatana, Miramichi Meat claims it's owed $4,206.36 for the non-payment of groceries purchased for the home.

In the other suit naming Foyer St-Bernard and Jatana, the company claims it's owed $3,407.47.

In both lawsuits, Miramichi Meat wrote that the defendant was given notice they had until January 31, 2023 to make payments, but that they never replied in order to make arrangements to do so.

No one from Miramichi Meat was available to speak to CBC News when contacted Friday.

The lawsuits follow allegations by staff at the two homes that bills for food, electricity and waste collection went unpaid in the months leading up to the Department of Social Development revoking the licences at the two homes.

On Jan. 17, the department announced the operating licences for the two homes had been revoked to protect the well-being of 29 residents after an investigation found they weren't in compliance with established standards and practices.

The department has repeatedly declined to say which standards and practices weren't being complied with due to "confidentiality rules."

New owner says he's unaffected by lawsuits

The forced closure of the two homes prompted a scramble by residents and their families to find new homes before a Feb. 17 deadline.

In early February, Marc-André Vienneau, a nurse from the Acadian Peninsula, said he'd undertaken the process of purchasing Villa Neguac, and the provincial government later announced it had granted a temporary operating licence for the home.

Contacted Friday, Vienneau said the transaction has gone smoothly, adding that he's unaffected by any lawsuits targeting Jatana or the company formerly representing the home he now owns.

"I bought the asset, not the company, so I'm not involved in any of this," said Vienneau, adding that he's established positive relationships with suppliers who had dealt with the previous owner.

In an email to CBC News on Feb. 16, a spokesperson for the Department of Social Development said no residents were living at Foyer St-Bernard and deferred any comment about the home's future to Jatana.

New Brunswick property tax bills are out. Homeowners are hit the hardest — again

New Brunswick property tax bills are out. Homeowners are hit the hardest — again

Large government properties benefitting from discounts aimed at houses

And even after assessment, tax rate and municipality changes in 2022, the results for homeowners are pretty much the same as last year — the amount they are being charged is up.

"People aren't happy with it," Jim Bedford told CBC Information Morning in Saint John last week as the bills began arriving in his community.

Bedford is mayor of the new municipality of Fundy-St. Martins, where both assessment and tax-rate increases in the rural community established by the province have each raised what residents are being billed. 

"We get nothing in return," said Bedford. "It's pay it and have a good day."

For the last two years, large increases in assessments, primarily on houses and apartment buildings, has been driving up tax bills on those properties all over New Brunswick.

Even in municipalities where local councils have been cutting property tax rates to offset the rise in assessments, bills to homeowners have still been climbing rapidly.   

In part, that's because homeowners have to pay for discounts their local governments have to provide to many large properties in their communities that are provincially owned or funded.

In Moncton this week, property tax bills sent to the Dr. Georges-L.-Dumont University Hospital Centre, the Université de Moncton and the Moncton Campus of the New Brunswick Community College are down a combined $488,700 from what the three paid the city two years ago.

The discounts are the result of classifications in New Brunswick legislation that define certain large health and education related properties as "residential."

That entitles them to the same tax treatment as a house.

Over the last two years, Moncton has cut its residential tax rate 12.5 per cent to offset assessment increases residents have experienced on homes. But those assessments have risen as much as 50 per cent in some neighbourhoods and the result is tax bills on houses are rising anyway.  

A snowy street lined with houses.  All 52 houses on Creighton Avenue in Saint John this year got an assessment increase of 29 per cent or above on top of increases last year. It equates to a $600 increase in property tax per house. Some will see that immediately and some will have it phased in over three years. (Roger Cosman/CBC)

By contrast, many provincial government buildings, which have had only minor assessment increases over the last two years, are getting significant reductions in their bills by piggybacking on the residential tax cuts.   

It's one of the reasons cities are asking the province to divide up tax categories into more precise groupings. 

"We need increased tax classes," said Saint John Mayor Donna Reardon.

"We need to have that flexibility. If we need to tweak the tax rates then we can do that."

Like in Moncton, tax revenues to Saint John this year from properties like the Saint John Regional Hospital and the adjacent campus of the University of New Brunswick are down $236,885 from two years ago.

Université de Moncton carries one of the largest assessments in New Brunswick but is classified as a residential property, like a house, under provincial rules. (CBC)

It's a consequence of a 9.2 per cent cut in the city's residential tax rate over the last two years. But while the cuts have driven down what the province has to pay the city on properties it owns or funds, it has only slowed tax increases flowing to homeowners. 

On Creighton Avenue in east Saint John, the 52 houses on the street have received average assessment increases of 40 per cent over the last two years. That equates to an average tax increase of more than $600 per house, even with the city's tax-rate reduction. 

Some of the houses have gotten those increases already and some with longer-term owners are having them phased in over the next three years, but every property on the street is getting a higher bill of some kind this year.

Overall in the city, residential properties are being billed $9 million more this year than two years ago.

Part of that is from new construction but most is from higher charges on existing properties. Reardon said it is important for cities to be able to better target where their tax cuts go.

In an email, spokesperson Vicky Lutes of New Brunswick's Department of Local Government said comprehensive reform of local government taxation is not planned until 2024, with implementation planned for 2025, although short-term measures have not been ruled out.

In 2022, the province created a new tax class for industrial properties. It partially ended a requirement that municipalities include commercial and industrial properties in any tax cuts granted to residential properties.

According to Lutes, more short-term reforms like that are under discussion with the province's municipal associations.

Liberals miss chance to nominate women in 2 of 3 friendly ridings

Leader Susan Holt will be the only woman running for Liberals in trio of byelections expected this spring

Two of the three candidates the party will field in upcoming byelections will be men, despite Liberal Leader Susan Holt's own commitment to try to boost the number of women running.

If the party wins all three byelections, it will be gaining just one female MLA, Holt herself, to add to the two women it already has in the legislature. 

"Missed opportunity isn't the word I'd use, but in my heart I want more women on my team," said Holt, who estimated she or other party members approached about 20 women about running.

"Every opportunity to gain one is an opportunity. So would I have liked some of those women to say yes? Absolutely."

Norma Dubé, the director of Women for 50%, a group trying to encourage more women to run in elections, said it's "clearly disappointing" the Liberals won't have three women running in three winnable ridings.

"I just can't believe that there are not a sufficient number of competent, strong, able women to bring their voices forward in that context," she said.

But Dubé said she also recognizes some women see barriers to participating, whether that's a lack of support with family responsibilities or the confrontational tone of politics.

"I can understand why women might hesitate to put up their hands," she said.

There's no date for the three byelections. Premier Blaine Higgs has suggested he'll call them around when the legislature reconvenes March 21 for a date later in the spring.

A byelection sweep by three female Liberal candidates would have boosted the number of women in the party's legislature caucus to five.

As it stands now, it has the lowest percentage of women of any party in the chamber.

Nine out of 30 MLAs in the Progressive Conservative caucus are women, and one of three Greens is a woman.

Holt, who became Liberal leader last year, will be the party candidate in Bathurst-Est-Nepisiguit-Saint-Isidore.

In Dieppe, Liberals have nominated former Medavie Health Services New Brunswick CEO Richard Losier.

And in Restigouche-Chaleur, former educator Gérald Arseneault and political staffer Marco LeBlanc were the only two candidates to enter the race by Friday's deadline. Party members will choose between them on March 26.

"They looked for women who would run in this riding but they were not successful," said LeBlanc.

It's challenging to recruit women to run for "a place they don't see themselves," Holt said in an interview at the legislature.

"We have to ask, and ask, and ask, and we have to do some things to make this a more friendly space for people who would like to participate but maybe need more flexibility."

Last fall the Liberals introduced a motion calling for a legislative committee to examine how to make the legislature more "family-friendly" as a way to persuade more women to run.

But the party has yet to call the motion up for debate.

In the last session, virtual sittings during peaks of the COVID-19 pandemic made it easier for women MLAs with young children to participate from home.

But the special rule that allowed it, requiring consultations with the chief medical officer of health and the approval of all party leaders, was not renewed for the current session.

During her run for the party leadership last year, Holt spoke frequently of trying to entice more women to get into elected politics.

PC MLA Andrea Anderson-Mason said that may be more difficult than Holt assumed.

"It's definitely aspirational, but you see that often with new, inexperienced politicians," she said. "They do have strong aspirations but getting the reality of it is sometimes more challenging."

Anderson-Mason said when she would meet women at their doorsteps while campaigning,  "it was not uncommon for them to say, 'I'm not really into politics, maybe you'd like to talk to my husband.' So it goes to a much deeper issue."

Holt, the first woman elected to lead the provincial Liberals, said she's also trying to recruit women for the next provincial election next year, and the longer lead time is making it easier for some women to consider it.

She said she has identified 55 women interested in running compared to 79 men, a better ratio than the byelection slate.

Holt said she tells women that politics can be "an amazing vehicle" for creating change, and that it's not as negative an experience as some might think.

"It hasn't been what they might have expected since I got this role. I haven't faced the kind of — what would you call it? — old-boys-club resistance or misogyny to the extent I might have expected. It doesn't mean it's not there. It just hasn't been as big as you might imagine."

The Liberal Party of N.B. is probably totally controlled by the SANB , so it would be the SANB who decides who gets to run for MLA positions , not Susan Holt . No doubt Holt would have preferred to have more female candidates , but she is probably leader of the N.B. SANB Liberals in name only , and has little say with how the Liberal SANB party is run .

The fact that she as an anglophone residing in Fredericton has to go to Bathurst to get a seat in the legislature tells the story of just how little support the Liberals have in Southern NB. They stand no chance next election.
