N.B. education minister defends Policy 713 review as student rallies continue

Bill Hogan says student safety would not be hurt by sharing gender name choices with parents

"The message that I've been saying hasn't been clearly heard or communicated by the press, for whatever the reason," Bill Hogan said on Friday.

Protests involving hundreds of people have taken place this week in several communities around the province. Most recently, on Friday, students from Kennebecasis Valley High and Rothesay High rallied in the Quispamsis Arts and Culture Park.

It's been happening since it was revealed the Progressive Conservative government was reviewing a policy introduced in 2020 that lays out minimum requirements for school districts to create a safe, welcoming learning environment for students of all sexual orientations and gender identities.

Advocates for the LGBTQ community have said the policy is invaluable to protect students who are at greater risk of mental health issues, bullying, parental abuse and suicide.

"This policy certainly is a good policy," Hogan said on Information Morning Fredericton.

"We currently do protect the rights of LGBTQ … students and create safe spaces for them in an inclusive environment, and that will continue," he said.

"There is no intent to try and walk any of that stuff back."

However, at the same time, Hogan also suggested that so-called "community standards" and the wishes of parents deserve more consideration than they are currently being given.

"Notwithstanding the rights of people that are protected under the Charter of Rights and Freedoms … in my community, people believe that they should be informed if their child says all of a sudden they want to be referred to by a different pronoun."

Hogan said he's received emails, texts, Facebook messages, and voicemails from people complaining about Policy 713.

He once again declined to quantify those complaints, saying he didn't want to bicker over how many or which ones had formed the basis for the review. 

"It's a minister's prerogative to review the policy," he said.

Students stage walkout in support of Policy 713

Duration 2:02
Hundreds of students from Kennebecasis Valley and Rothesay High School lent their support Friday for New Brunswick’s school policy that aims to protect queer and trans kids.

Hogan said questions about why he would not release the complaints deflected from "the real issue"— that being the application of Policy 713.

"There seems to be some confusion created with the policy in the curriculum," he said.

"Children are coming home saying, 'I like to hang out with my hockey buddies. Does that mean I'm gay, Dad?' And parents are saying, 'Where did you hear that?'"

Clearly, the policy is not curriculum, he said, but what we're teaching and when we're teaching it needs to be examined, he elaborated in a scrum with reporters later Friday morning.

Hogan did give one example of a relevant complaint he's received. It was from a parent who objected to their child in Grade 2 wanting to use gender-neutral pronouns.

A case like that has nothing to do with "a safe environment," he said, and the parent's wishes should be given more respect.

"If a parent doesn't want their child to be referred to as they … would prefer for them to be referred to as she or he, you know, that's a parent's right," he said.

Policy 713 leaves it to the student's discretion whether parents are notified about their informal personal pronoun choices in school. Earlier this week, Premier Blaine Higgs said that was the main issue with the policy.

The idea that notifying parents that their child is choosing to use a different name or pronoun in school would not affect the student's safety contradicts assessments that have been heard from longtime educators and doctors who work with the LGBTQ community, that some students would be in danger if their parents knew they were trans or gay. 

Asked about the potential risk to students whose families might kick them out of the house, or worse, because of their sexual or gender identity, Hogan maintained his stance that there are other protections against that.

"I spent 35 years in the public education system. I'm well aware that not every parent is perfect and that we have some serious, serious challenges with some parents and some students aren't safe in their homes.

"We do have a mechanism to address that and that's child protection," he said.

"If a student says, 'I don't feel safe, I think I'm going to get abused if I go home and say this to my parents,' then the obligation is on the teacher, legally, to call Social Development and call child protection and report that."

Another reason he isn't comfortable with Policy 713 is his belief it's "asking teachers to be not upfront and truthful with parents." 

Hogan said in his opinion, it would "cause problems" if a student met some classmates while at the mall with their parents and the classmates called them by a name the parents didn't know anything about.

It would be better to share the information, he suggested, because that would facilitate the involvement of professional counsellors. 

Hogan said he wouldn't comment on what Premier Higgs said earlier this week, when he said he doesn't think elementary and kindergarten children should attend drag queen storytime events. 

Higgs said, "Are we trying to teach tolerance and acceptance, or are we trying to teach promotion?" 

But Hogan said he does not believe children "learn to be gay."

Hogan said he had done a lot of research on gender issues and understands gender exists on a spectrum and that gender dysmorphia is a real thing.

Hogan acknowledged that few members of the PC caucus seem to share his concerns about Policy 713.

They have not reported much feedback from constituents concerned about parental rights being neglected by the policy, he said.

He speculated that may be because they don't understand the significance of seeing "they" or "them" used on their child's report card.

One PC MLA, Andrea Anderson-Mason, had been scheduled to give an interview on the matter to Information Morning on Friday but cancelled Thursday night, saying she'd been told to let Hogan speak instead.

Hogan said that was not by his order. 

Hogan confirmed that he had yet to meet with any representatives of LGBTQ advocacy groups for the policy review and had no firm dates set to do so, but said he has "full intention" of consulting the LGBTQ community, parents and teachers.

He said he also wants to make sure gender-neutral washrooms are available in schools. And in cases where there's no separate facility available, to find out whether female students are comfortable with trans students using theirs.

"If a parent doesn't want their child to be referred to as they … would prefer for them to be referred to as she or he, you know, that's a parent's right," - This is where the rubber hits the road. Is the final decision the parents' right or the child's right? There isn't any middle ground on this one. It's one or the other. Keep in mind that saying the parents should make the decision doesn't change who the child is. It just tells the child there's something shameful about who they are, something they have to hide from others.

Higgs compromises on language-law update, will keep periodic review

Premier says he hopes changes will allow for unanimous vote for legislation

Premier Blaine Higgs is backing away from the elimination of a mandatory 10-year review of the act contained in the statute.

He told the legislature the government will introduce its own amendments on "establishing a timeframe, or periodic review" of the law.

"We believe the amendments will be in the spirit of continuous improvements of the act," he said.

The original Official Languages Act was adopted unanimously in 1969 and the new version of the act, passed in 2002, also won the support of all parties and all MLAs in the legislature.

But the Opposition Liberals and the Green Party have said they could not support Higgs's updates if they got rid of the built-in automatic review every decade.

Higgs said while unanimity is not a priority for him, "it's nice" to have. 

"Certainly the opposition have talked more about that than I have but we would like to do the same thing. We would like to have that," he told reporters.

"We think this addresses the concerns that have been brought forward already from the opposition and that should allow consensus."

Liberal Leader Susan Holt said it appeared the legislature was getting closer to a consensus, but she wouldn't commit her party to voting with the government until she sees the actual amendments.

"I'm really hopeful that the amendments that they present will give us the opportunity to adopt this with the unanimity of the house," she said. "I think that's what New Brunswickers want." 

Higgs said other amendments will clarify what must be included in the annual reports of the commissioner of official languages and the role of a new official languages secretariat.

An independent commission that conducted the most recent 10-year review recommended that reviews be required every five years. 

It's not clear what timeline Higgs has in mind.

Acadian Society of New Brunswick president Alexandre Cédric Doucet said the organization had been discussing the bill with the government and is encouraged the door is open to keeping the review.

"We're happy the government is open but the devil's in the details," he said.

Green Leader David Coon was more pessimistic about the legislation winning all-party support, saying the premier had only given "a bare outline of what the amendments are."

"We'll have to wait and see what he says. I don't have a lot of confidence in what he'll bring but we'll wait. It's the reasonable thing to do." 

Higgs promised the amendments at the start of the second-reading debate on the bill. 

It passed second reading Friday and was sent to a committee where the government will be able to introduce the amendments.

Another PC MLA questions review of school LGBTQ policy

Ross Wetmore says he wants assurances there’s ‘no predetermined outcome’ to review

"What I would like is to have a true review, with no predetermined outcome," said Ross Wetmore, the MLA for Gagetown-Petitcodiac. 

"So let's have a review and have all the stakeholders have the opportunity to bring forward their concerns."

Asked if he felt there is a predetermined outcome, Wetmore said that's not what he was saying, "but I want to make sure that there isn't. I want the public to be comfortable that there is no predetermined outcome of Policy 713."

His comments on the need to hear from all stakeholders echo those of cabinet minister Arlene Dunn, who said Thursday she was concerned that there wasn't enough consultation with the LGBTQ community during the review.

Wetmore, the four-term MLA for Gagetown-Petitcodiac, recently said he won't run again in next year's provincial election.

He told CBC News he has no objections to the current policy, which sets minimum standards for schools to provide a safe, inclusive space for LGBTQ students.

"We have to protect the vulnerable in society and I think 713 is doing this. I don't have personally anything against the policy … as it exists now. Can it be enhanced? I'm not sure."

Man surrounded by microphones. Education Minister Bill Hogan said Friday that consultations with LGBTQ stakeholders will happen soon. (Radio-Canada)

The policy includes allowing students under 16 to adopt new names and pronouns without their parents being told — a provision Premier Blaine Higgs says wrongly excludes parents from their children's lives.

Wetmore said there are cases when children grappling with their sexual orientation or gender identity don't feel safe talking to their parents about it.

"I think it's unfortunate that not all children can come forward and speak to their parents. But unfortunately that's the way it is," he said.

Younger children, in particular, may feel more comfortable talking to someone outside their family, he added.

The former agriculture, fisheries and aquaculture minister said he remembers bringing up subjects with his own school guidance counsellors that he wouldn't raise with his parents.

Policy 713: PC MLA says he wants to see a ‘true review’

Duration 1:14
Ross Wetmore says he doesn’t oppose a review of a policy aimed at making schools safe for queer and trans kids — so long as there is no “pre-determined outcome.”

The counsellors are "not as judgmental," said Wetmore.

Education Minister Bill Hogan said Friday that consultations with LGBTQ stakeholders will happen soon.

"We have time next week to organize these meetings and that's what we plan on doing."

But Wetmore said he has "not yet" heard of any discussions planned with the PC caucus.

Friday in the legislature, opposition MLAs continued to question the government's motives for the review.

"The premier is showing a complete lack of leadership, management and empathy," said Liberal Isabelle Thériault.

"Now the question is: was he born like this, or did he just become like that?"

A woman with long black hair looking slightly off to the side Liberal MLA Isabelle Thériault said 'the premier is showing a complete lack of leadership, management and empathy.' (Jacques Poitras/CBC)

That was a reference to Higgs saying this week he didn't know whether children are born gay or learn to be gay.

He was questioning at the time whether drag queen storytimes in schools are about teaching tolerance or promotion.

The premier repeated Friday that he did not know whether a different sexual orientation or gender identity is something children might learn in school from a drag event.

"I don't know but I just don't think it's appropriate at younger levels. I just don't."

Asked for his comment on what Higgs said, Wetmore said sexual orientation and gender identity is not "a learned thing. It's sort of in you, and with some people it comes out and some people it doesn't. I personally don't believe it's something that's taught." 

Man wearing suit Premier Higgs insisted again Friday that there are other systems in place in schools to protect children who may be threatened at home in any way. (Radio-Canada)

Hogan said the same thing Friday.

"I don't think being a member of the LGBTQ community or a gender identity is like the common cold that you catch. I never have and I never will," he said.

"But I do think parents have the right to decide what they wish their children to be exposed to in public school."

Higgs insisted again Friday that there are other systems in place in schools to protect children who may be threatened at home in any way.

And he repeated that he wants schools to be safe and inclusive for all students and that Policy 713 as a whole would not be repealed. He said the review is only about "very specific areas we've identified."

"I think it's unfortunate that not all children can come forward and speak to their parents. But unfortunately that's the way it is," - Bravo, Mr Wetmore! Kids who feel safe speaking to their parents will do so no matter what the policy says. If schools are required to pass on information, this will not result in the parents getting more information. It will only result in the schools getting less and the kids having no one they feel safe speaking to at all.

Kids who don't feel safe speaking to their parents don't necessarily fear abuse - although in some cases they do. It may simply be that from remarks they've heard their parents make over the years, they figure that their parents lack the understanding and knowledge to be able to be of any help. A young person who's in the process of sorting out how they feel about their own gender doesn't want - and shouldn't have to bear - the burden of educating their parents. They're going to be more comfortable speaking with someone who has some information.

Well said, I would only add that the young person figuring out their gender/sexuality also wants to be able to explore it without pressure from the parents to conform to their expectations. It is not something that anyone who ha not gone through can understand, even with accepting parents it is very difficult to talk to them about thes things ( how many children/parents like to discuss where baby’s come from and safer sex with each other, or even if they have started dating someone?)

David Amos: NB-NWO Whistleblower - Part 1B

Update: See David Amos: NB-NWO Whistleblower - Part 2
---
I started the previous post with a few posts from David Amos' You Tube page.

However, the sort of investigations he's been involved in seem like
interesting fodder for this blog's Maritime focus. I suppose a part of
me wants to believe the story, just so it meshes wish everything else
I see in International relations and local autocracy being instituted
throughout the US and Canada, as the economy is allowed to slip into
ruin and the Corporate bosses fiddle and Iraq burns.

So, I found this interesting side blog that gives a bit of an overview
of the Amos story, from a third party. I hope to investigate the
veracity of his claims and compare the official version while trying
to remain impartial as to how endemic the corruption is in our
homeland, hidden so casually by those holding power.
----------
The US Government, Mafia Style
Steven G. Erickson - The Stark Raving Viking
I used to think I attracted the Mel Gibson ‘Conspiracy Theory’, types.
But, some of what they are saying put together, is starting to make
sense. I was told to look at Canada replacing Cuba as the Mafia, Big
Business, and Government playground where meetings are held and
frolicking goes on more openly. Numbers, percentages, and trends when
followed tell the story, locally and nationally.

I was talking to David R. Amos quite extensively around March of this
year. From what I gather he is sort of an odd combination of a
character. In his mid-50’s he gave off the impression he was a wild,
in a Harley Motorcycle gang, type living in the Boston area. He has
ties to big business and is involved in running for political offices
in Canada, where he is from.

Well, Amos told me that his taxi driver friend in the Boston area was
a dumpster diver that had found boxes of cassette tapes, taped only on
one side somewhere in the 80’s where Jai Lai was a popular sport and
gang land betting bonanza. The friend had taped music over a number of
the extreme quality tapes before any were listened to. The wiretaps on
the tapes were illegally performed by the FBI regarding mob hits, drug
smuggling, prostitution, gambling, Whitie Bulger, and who was who in
the FBI/Mafia marriage in the Boston area.

Amos’ friend tried to give the FBI tapes that technically did not
exist back to the FBI. Amos has spent much time tormenting almost the
entire US government, countless officials, and even messed with
Connecticut Attorney General Richard Blumenthal sending him a letter
regarding how the tapes implicated so many individuals. Amos seemingly
filed nuisance lawsuits just to get the illegally performed wiretaps
to be admitted as evidence in any case to thumb his nose at
authorities that are the morph of corporate criminals, the Mafia, and
the who’s who in government circles.

Amos told me that about half of all exploited and missing children are
flown out of a covert airport possibly near Nova Scotia. Many are sold
as slaves to those in oil producing countries where white women are
the preferred contraband. Military hardware etc is also exported out
of that same airport. Currency in cash also makes its way back and
forth from that airport. Massive amounts of narcotics in raw and
finished form fly into this same airport according to Amos.

I served time with a Native American drug runner in a Connecticut
prison. He was a drug runner to Connecticut, Massachusetts, and other
states college campuses and universities. There are ties to the Boston
and Connecticut mobsters. Just like Chicago, Mafia Hit men, and others
ask for trial by judge so that a judge in the pocket hears the case
and the predetermined outcome is achieved.

The drug runner told me he knew the outcome of his cases before they
went before a judge. He got away with 99% of what he was caught for,
but did have to take the fall a few times to protect higher ups in the
food chain. Running guns, prostitution and gambling money in trunks of
cars, city to city, all over the US was also this Native American
‘connected’ guy’s job description.

Trial by judge is a red flag. If there are areas that police,
prosecutors, and judges aren’t caught and punished for basic human
nature in certain percentages there is a red flag. Racial barriers are
also a key red flag. Trying driving while black from Hartford into
money mecha West Hartford or from Hartford into Wethersfield, the cops
main job is to keep riffraff and minorities out of the ‘white areas’.
White drug dealers and suburban criminals are welcome, but not their
‘Black Cousins’.

Prostitutes are the main conduit between the Mafia, Judiciary,
Government Officials, and corporate Big Wigs. Drugs, cash, and other
items may never even make it to the evidence rooms to disappear or be
vastly reduced in size. Prostitutes are a cop’s favorite choice for
selling the drugs he has scored off a bust. Prostitutes also help
decide cases when a prosecutor gets a blowjob to throw a case or
maliciously prosecute an individual for being a ‘Big Mouth’.

Most bar and business owners have to be ‘connected’ to stay in
business in Connecticut and this may also apply to other areas of the
country as well.

The ‘Blue Wall of Silence’ and a Mafia Style code is rigidly enforced
in Connecticut.

‘Connecticut Yankees’ were despised since Colonial times. Big Business
from the earliest days had Connecticut as its center hub in the slave
trade, liquor running, gambling, prostitution, and other criminal
ventures. Their families and friends were isolated from their criminal
empires in palatial estates.
Reading 30 years worth of newspapers printed in Connecticut tells a
story. It is hard for the average person to grasp what is really going
on until they are drawn a map.

Connecticut makes the US Attorney/FBI/Mob/Judiciary/law
enforcement/drug runner/hit man/prostitution/gambling/
criminal
empire/ring look like a kindergarten in Boston.

What officials and Big Wigs don’t want is accountability. As soon as
taxpayers have control of the purse and officials are answerable to
those that really pay the bills, the wholesale ripping off, raping,
and murdering will continue. There are a very small percentage of
‘hits’ performed in modern days as compared to old. The ‘new’ program
now involves breaking up your family, ruining you financially,
discrediting you, breaking you, arrests, malicious prosecutions,
labeling you mentally unstable, and/or confinement in a prison or
mental institution.

Civilian Oversight of the Police, members of the Judiciary, and of
public officials would make the criminal empire fall. If actual
investigations into official wrongdoing were monitored by the people
and violators actually punished, we’d have a nation as our forefathers
intended and as outlined in the Declaration of Independence, The US
Constitution, and other historic documents.

Freedom and having an ethically run government, police force, and
courts is up to you.

For the record the worst lies are one with truths mixed in.

I gave you a fellow Maritimer only some of my files in good faith.

The Yankee you quote is a flat out liar. stevey boy is apussy He wrote
what he did so as to make himself out to be a hero while I was
fighting the Yankees tooth and nail to save my family's home. He was
too chicken to come see me and the only file he ever used of mine was
the one where I took on the CT AG Richard Blumental when he and eliot
spiter were having their fun with Marsh Mclellan before they sold
Putnam Investments to Power Corp.

When I bagged the CT Yankee in his lies Stevey Boy Erickson he deleted
all of his blogs about me except the one you opted to quote in order
to make me appear to be someone that I am definitely not.

You may write about this shit all you wish kid but stick to the truth
because i lived through it by not taking any bullshit from anyone. Ask
the the National Security agents in Fredeicton your hometown i
beleieve their names are Norm Plourde and Kevin Jackson check my
Youtubes for their phone number and call them i double dog Dare ya.

I am just a very pissed off Maritimer who was completely open with him
and you Kid. I know what i sent you and i can easily pove it. Don't
you dare pretend that i am a liar for your own benefit

I am sorry to be harsh with you but after reading just few of your
word i got pissed off. Please don't fuck with me like chucky Leblanc
and all his Fake Left buddies in Fat fred City did.

Although some of the things the CT Yankee says are true

The Facts about St Pierre etc are very tragic indeed my witness to
that shit is byron Prior I am the fella that wrote his defence and
counterclaim filed in the supreme court of Newfounfland three years
ago that nobody dares to talk about not even Byron Prior. google his
name sometime.

As for me I do have evidence of murder securites fraud tax fraud bank
fraud perjury etc etc. You can whine about Bush and money all you wish
I was arguing his lawyer BEFORE that nonsense in Iraq began

I am the whistleblower who caused the hearing on november 18th 2003
that cause eliot spitzer to speak up two days later. furthermore I
already proved it to you Correct?

Too can play the blogger game I am posting this comment in your blog
first in order to stress test your blogger ethics. the exact same
words are entered in my blog as well.

P.S. I saved your webpage about me too. I may need it for Federal

For the record Stevey boy Erickson is a bigtime Yankee Bullshitter



"I was talking to David R. Amos quite extensively around March of this year."

True

"From what I gather he is sort of an odd combination of a character.
In his mid-50’s he gave off the impression he was a wild, in a Harley
Motorcycle gang, type living in the Boston area. He has ties to big
business"

False

"and is involved in running for political offices in Canada, where he is from."

True

"Well, Amos told me that his taxi driver friend in the Boston area was
a dumpster diver that had found boxes of cassette tapes, taped only on
one side somewhere in the 80’s where Jai Lai was a popular sport and
gang land betting bonanza. The friend had taped music over a number of
the extreme quality tapes before any were listened to. The wiretaps on
the tapes were illegally performed by the FBI regarding mob hits, drug
smuggling, prostitution, gambling, Whitie Bulger, and who was who in
the FBI/Mafia marriage in the Boston area."

True

"Amos’ friend tried to give the FBI tapes that technically did not
exist back to the FBI."

False

Amos has spent much time tormenting almost the entire US government,
countless officials, and even messed with Connecticut Attorney General
Richard Blumenthal sending him a letter regarding how the tapes
implicated so many individuals."

True

"Amos seemingly filed nuisance lawsuits just to get the illegally
performed wiretaps to be admitted as evidence in any case to thumb his
nose at authorities that are the morph of corporate criminals, the
Mafia, and the who’s who in government circles."

False

"Amos told me that about half of all exploited and missing children
are flown out of a covert airport possibly near Nova Scotia. Many are
sold as slaves to those in oil producing countries where white women
are the preferred contraband. Military hardware etc is also exported
out of that same airport. Currency in cash also makes its way back and
forth from that airport. Massive amounts of narcotics in raw and
finished form fly into this same airport according to Amos."

True

"I served time with a Native American drug runner in a Connecticut
prison. He was a drug runner to Connecticut, Massachusetts, and other
states college campuses and universities. There are ties to the Boston
and Connecticut mobsters. Just like Chicago, Mafia Hit men, and others
ask for trial by judge so that a judge in the pocket hears the case
and the predetermined outcome is achieved."

??????

"The drug runner told me he knew the outcome of his cases before they
went before a judge. He got away with 99% of what he was caught for,
but did have to take the fall a few times to protect higher ups in the
food chain. Running guns, prostitution and gambling money in trunks of
cars, city to city, all over the US was also this Native American
‘connected’ guy’s job description."

??????

"Trial by judge is a red flag. If there are areas that police,
prosecutors, and judges aren’t caught and punished for basic human
nature in certain percentages there is a red flag. Racial barriers are
also a key red flag. Trying driving while black from Hartford into
money mecha West Hartford or from Hartford into Wethersfield, the cops
main job is to keep riffraff and minorities out of the ‘white areas’.
White drug dealers and suburban criminals are welcome, but not their
‘Black Cousins’."

True

"Prostitutes are the main conduit between the Mafia, Judiciary,
Government Officials, and corporate Big Wigs. Drugs, cash, and other
items may never even make it to the evidence rooms to disappear or be
vastly reduced in size. Prostitutes are a cop’s favorite choice for
selling the drugs he has scored off a bust. Prostitutes also help
decide cases when a prosecutor gets a blowjob to throw a case or
maliciously prosecute an individual for being a ‘Big Mouth’."

True ask Eliot Spitzer etc.

"Most bar and business owners have to be ‘connected’ to stay in
business in Connecticut and this may also apply to other areas of the
country as well."

True

"The ‘Blue Wall of Silence’ and a Mafia Style code is rigidly enforced
in Connecticut."

True

"‘Connecticut Yankees’ were despised since Colonial times. Big
Business from the earliest days had Connecticut as its center hub in
the slave trade, liquor running, gambling, prostitution, and other
criminal ventures. Their families and friends were isolated from their
criminal empires in palatial estates.
Reading 30 years worth of newspapers printed in Connecticut tells a
story. It is hard for the average person to grasp what is really going
on until they are drawn a map."

True

Connecticut makes the US Attorney/FBI/Mob/Judiciary/law
enforcement/drug runner/hit man/prostitution/gambling/
criminal
empire/ring look like a kindergarten in Boston.

"What officials and Big Wigs don’t want is accountability. As soon as
taxpayers have control of the purse and officials are answerable to
those that really pay the bills, the wholesale ripping off, raping,
and murdering will continue. There are a very small percentage of
‘hits’ performed in modern days as compared to old. The ‘new’ program
now involves breaking up your family, ruining you financially,
discrediting you, breaking you, arrests, malicious prosecutions,
labeling you mentally unstable, and/or confinement in a prison or
mental institution."

Very Very fucking True In fact some of them are my words not his that
Stevey Boy stole from me to make himself seem like a hero who know
everything.

"Civilian Oversight of the Police, members of the Judiciary, and of
public officials would make the criminal empire fall. If actual
investigations into official wrongdoing were monitored by the people
and violators actually punished, we’d have a nation as our forefathers
intended and as outlined in the Declaration of Independence, The US
Constitution, and other historic documents."

True

"Freedom and having an ethically run government, police force, and
courts is up to you."

True

I've got 200 plus unread emails, and I haven't gotten through all of yours yet.
Just met with a guy who triggered an amber alert and will lose his 3
kids and could spend up to 2 decades in prison. I'm having a friend
check his story out before I post on him. I think I can clean house in
Connecticut if I can stay on task.
I may or may not have had something major to do with having Governor
Rowland of Connecticut resign in disgrace, and his lackey State
Pollice Commissioner, Arthur L. Spada, being asked to resign in
disgrace. The judge who retaliated on me for being a pain in the ass
in the newspapers, I hope will be arrested in the next 90 days and
spend more time in prison than he gave me for my big mouth ...
I do care about what you have to say and the bigger picture.

Sometimes complaining is just like pissing into the wind, right Dave?

Emails with endless recipients and faxes beyond a page or two are

I se that another Connectitcut Yankee found the words of Stevey Boy
Erickson's the nasty self described Viking on the Internet first thing
sunday morning and the deleloped a curiousity about the crooked little
Canadian lawyer Connie Fogal and her latest stab a becomeing well
known as a "Doer of Good"

For the record Connie Baby should stop lying herself before she
demands the same of others. Hew oath before the BAR demands that she
act with integrity and uphold the law of the common man in order to
practice law for a fee. Correct Danny Boy?

I see that some folks checked my doing with the Canadain Action Party
before I caused the Hearings in Washington about Putnam Investments in
Novemeber of 2003 and the fact I introduced her to Barry Bachrach four
years ago so that they could deal with their concerns about John
Graham's malicious prosecution that begins in earnest south of the
49th next month. N'est Pas?

Perhaps more folks will check my work and the of the Canadain Action
Party as well.

FYI I support Paul Hellyer's platform and the folks who truly beleive
in it. It is corrupt lawyers looking to make a buck while covering up
awful truths in the process that I hate.

If you have not read this file. You really should for your benefit. I
already proved to Richy Baby Harris three times that Fogal had my
comments about her Youtube deleted and now blocked. There is not much
need to be redundant. EH?

Hey Danny Boy here is one of your Yankee Hero Stevey Erickson's
bullshit blogs that he deleted for your study.

Notice it was created BEFORE your BLOGGER hero Chucky was ever
arrested or banished and became quite famous because of an interesting
judgement.


March 29, 2006

I find myself being mentioned in Parliamentary Circles in Canada
I talked with David Raymond Amos last about a year or two ago. He told
a convincing story of being of a political family in Canada and his
exploits in Boston where a dumpster diving, taxi driving friend of his
came upon cassette tapes in a dumpster, they were very high quality
for that time found in a dumpster outside the FBI building there, were
taped only on one side, and they taped music over several before
listening to the tapes, they were illegal wiretaps that FBI had made
regarding the Boston Mafia, Winterhill Gang, Hitmen, assorted
criminals, and even the bad behavior of State and Federal Officials,
oops.

They tried to give tapes back that should not have existed and the fun
soon began.


Read More...
...

Amos and his friend soon had shadows and a string of bad luck that
just wouldn’t go away. I have to admire the balls that Amos had, he
allegedly sued a whole host of politicians and various officials, and
according to him, also Connecticut Attorney General Richard Blumenthal
just to have the tapes admitted as evidence, WHAT BALLS!!!

Amos making a case to me that Blumenthal was involved in covering up
bad behavior was tempting for me to post back then, but I saw that I
was being followed around by uniformed Connecticut State Police
Officers in Massachusetts and feared for my safety.

Amos might be, a not so respected, member of Canadian Parliament
himself, currently. Amos, like myself, can make enemies, by just not
fearing death, by saying what needs to be said. If you read in between
the lines of his crudeness, you can actually track down interesting
tidbits not widely known outside the circles of power and which is
never reported by the corporate owned US Propaganda Ministry, the
mainstream media.

Why is Canada important, well many US Politicians hide from the prying
eyes of all media and bloggers in Canadian Resorts, usually having to
do with golfing, to meet with their Mafia and Corporate Criminal
friends.

I’m in Connecticut now, and very much fear for my safety of another
false arrest and imprisonment for trying to expose anal, and very
dangerous official criminals. An email to me sent to me by Amos,
available for view, below:

Subject : Tanker and Bernie Lord put on quite a little sideshow EH?


To whom it may concern and the loudmouth Yankee Stevey Boy Erickson too.

Now that you think you all know all the news in the Maritimes. Now
that spring has finally sprung methinks things are just starting to
warm up in the fancy rooms where Democracy is ignored. Why not look to
Parliament Hill in April. Lets see if Harper and his cohorts call my
Newfy friend Byron Prior a liar after you read his defense within the
following link. Whereas the media can’t speak to Harper or his cabinet
much maybe they will find some ehtics and spend some quality with
ordinary folks with some very valid concerns about Parliamentarians
being held accountable.

After all never forget it was the turncoat liberal MP Billly Matthews
that employed the law firm of Patterson Palmer to sue a man on welfare
simply because he did not want any more people to know the truth about
his awful past in Newfoundland. It is not Byron’s fault that he wants
his right to argue the truth with smiling bastards even though no
lawyer will assist him. I did right his first defense and counterclaim
to keep him in the fight for justice but now Byron must stand on his
own two feet before the nasty courts. I do have the right to give
anyone the words I copyrighted before they were stricken from the
public record by a very crooked Newfy Judge named Green. Might does
not always make right and that nasty old bastard don’t scare me a bit.
Didn’t a little dude named David prove that a long time ago in
somebody’s good book?. Besides perfect timing all you need to win out
are three very rare things in a wicked combination. They are a Stout
 Heart, Big Balls and a Lot of Luck. I know I have been born with all
three but I’ll be damned if I can find that horseshoe up me arse
lately. I know it must up there somewhere. Sooner or later it will
turn up.

[a David R. Amos supplied link]

Now that he is the Speaker of the House I wonder if the fat bastard
Tanker Malley will sign something supporting the wish of the Sergeant
at Arms to ban me from the Legislature. His old buddy Bev Harrison
never did and all I have gotten so far is just hot air from the the
Sergeant at Arms and the New Brunswick Police Commission and everybody
else as they allowed the Fredericton cops to cover up their own foul
play against me in support of the public corruption. Why don’t cops
and lawyers uphold the law? Didn’t swearing an oath to do so mean
anything to them at all?
On another note did anyone notice Bernie Lord apologizing to the
wannabe judge Cleveland Allaby? Maybe they just made another backroom
deal just like the one the greedy fat bastard and our little Lord did.

Rest assured I ain’t waiting for the CIBC dudes to investigate my
concerns about Securities Fraud before I file my complaints in Federal
Court. Besides I served the Mellon dudes in the USA hard copy a very
long time ago. Despite all that as soon as I knew that they appointed
the crooked liberal lawyer John Manley as a director of CIBC I made
certain he and the host of Gomery lawyers knew everything. That is the
true reason Manley doesn’t want to run for leader of the liberal party
even though he has lusted for the post for years. The same holds true
for Allan Rock, Franky Boy McKenna and Brian Tobin. Call me a liar and
put it in writing I Double Dog Dare Ya.
As I read and heard what the crooked liberal lawyer Kelly Lamrock said
today, I busted a gut laughing at the snotty little liar. He said “The
premier told us that he was too ethical to offer any position to keep
his government and obviously I’m reminded of the old quote ‘We know
what he is, and now we’re just dickering over the price.’”
I too am reminded of an old quote about the pot calling the kettle
black. Perhaps I will coin a phrase of my own. It should go something
like this “A politician or a lawyer no matter what his name can always
be called corrupt” Please feel free to quote me.
Read on if you do not understand why. You could have read quite a bit
about within a CTV Blog or one by a crooked little man called M K
Braaton and many others as well until they deleted my words. However
some of my words can still be found here and there on the internet as
well as within the public record of many courts. Have a look if you
care about your own rights and interests. I know how to defend mine in
a Pro Se fashion. That is the reason my words are often stricken. They
are too truthful for a corrupt justice system to allow to be read.
Democracy is a myth that I wish would come true some day soon.

Hey John Bragg and the rest of you too
While I am sitting here in Fredericton waiting to hear what I figured
would happen in Bernie Lord’s little three ring circus today I gave
your office a call. Whilst I was waiting I was pleasantly surpised by
the news that Bush’s little buddy Andrew Card resigned. I can only
wonder if it was because of the wiretap tapes that my Yankee lawyer
sent to Congress almost two months ago. That aside it was a nobrainer
to me that all the MLA’s in New Brunswick would want to protect their
pensions from their political positions rather than act within the
scope of their employment and uphold the public trust. Thus no crooked
politician would want Bernie Baby’s government to fall for one more
year. Now that I know the score for sure I have a very huge bone to
pick with the crook Bev Harrison. It was he as Speaker of the House
who failed to answer me in 2004 before I returned to the USA and was
falsely imprisoned.
If anyone bothers to listen to the tape of me explaining to Tom Young,
the liberal Rogers Media talk show host on Ground Hog Day of this year
the merits of a minority govenment appointing an independent such as
Andre Arthur as the Speaker of the House in order to shut him up then
you will understand that it was me who gave little Bernie Lord the
idea to give the fat bastard, Tanker Baby the job he now has. Don’t
try to tell me that Tanker was not paid off. You can’t fool me simply
because I am too stupid. Tis high time to sue the smiling bastards EH?
The question is are other New Brunswick’s smart enough to pay
attention to me now the the circus has pitched its malevolent tent for
another year and i am off to Federal Court next week.
Mr. Bragg need I say that I was not surprised that your lawyer at
Eastlink never called me or answered my emails nor by the fact that
you never returned my calls? What is truly amazing is that you did not
call me back after I let you know I was as serious as a heart attack.
Could it be because of the many places we have crossed paths because
of your association with so many others who operate cross border as
well? I filled your secretary in on how we had crossed paths as
friends of your family and at your company Eastlink, its association
with Rogers and byway of the Maritime Lumber Bureau and byway of a
Director of your company Aldéa Landry, Q.C., who is not only a
director of the Security Intelligence Review Committee and president
of the consulting firm Landal Inc., she is an associate of J.F.L.
Arbitration Services Inc., a member of the New Brunswick Legislative
Assembly from 1987 to 1991, she was the first Acadian woman to be
appointed cabinet
 minister. Furthermore Ms. Landry served as deputy premier.
I said a lot to your help however I failed to mention the Order of
Canada folks, the Thompson Corp dudes or the TD dudes too. To me the
most notable has to be the Thompson Corp fella you sit with as
Director of the TD Financial Group. His company sells much info to
many lawyers and bankers etc in order to aid them in acting ethically,
but I will wager he did not tell you, a fellow director of a pretty
big bank that I served his Yankee lawyer, Dierdre Stanley hard copy of
my laments before I returned to Nova Scotia to meet my first
grandchild. His publicly company failed to uphold the public trust for
a period of almost a year It seems the onus falls upon me to introduce
you to many crimes that have gone unpunished for the benefit of public
corruption. From one Maritimer to another I must say beware of your
Upper Canadain buddies especially the lawyers amongst them. Everybody
knows they are liars.
That said methinks the delay did you and your company no good. What
say you? Tell me. Do you think the outspoken MP Andre Arthur will make
the shit hit the fan in Ottawa before our latest Attorney General in
Nova Scotia or your lawyer Ms. MacDonald act ethically? Look closely
obviously Andre Arthur got his mail. He talks the talk. Lets see if he
walks the walk or will everyone just wait for me to die or sue the
Crown in New Brunswick? (Don’t laugh I think so too.)
Besides all that when you supported the likes of of the corrupt old
lawyer T. Alex Hickman to be awarded the Order of Canada it brought
great shame upon us all and no doubt it offended greatly my
forefathers and the memory of dead men I am named after. I am not
quite so proud a Canadian after all that I have learned in recent
years.
In closing I find it interesting that you were awarded an honourary
doctorate in law because I did not know Mount Allison had a law
school. So I called them and asked how they could give out such an
honour when they do not even teach law. Lets just say I did not get an
answer but obviously they got my email as promised. Mr. Bragg your
lawyer will receive hard copy before we meet in court. I really wish
that you had called me back today before I felt compelled to chuck you
in the same mud puddle with the crooks in New Brunswick. There is no
denying that I ain’t really pissed off but I am also laughing like
hell at the nonsense of it all. Man we are dumb. We do get the
governments we deserve. That is why I have never voted in my life. I
never saw anyone worth voting for. The sad but terrible truth is my
fellow Maritmers thought even less of me. They laughed at me as I sat
in a Yankee jail because I dared to tell the awful truth. At least now
it is my
 turn to laugh them.

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.”

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.

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 and or Parliamentarians in order that it may be investigated
byway of my suing the Crown.
While Stevey Boy Harper is busy in New Brunswick today trying hard to
shore up the shaky government of his little buddy, Bernie Lord with
long delayed federal tax dollars. I am polishing off all my promises
to crooked lawyers in the hope that the very corrupt House crumbles
ASAP.
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.

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!

David Raymond Amos finds a blog, finds a person, finds a discussion
and them bleats the same unconfirmed, self-angrandizing lies, ad
nauseaum. In 2005 on the Project On Government Oversight he wrote the
same unconfirmed, poorly writen, poorly spelled nonesense, recycling
insults and shouting at the top of his lungs..."its all about me."

Scores of blogs, web sites, were and are infected by. David Amos.
David Amos has been turned sometime ago by RCM Police National
Security sec. He has for quite sometime been a paid informant of RCM
Police and CSIS, he is the bait as it were.

You should wonder why all the same stories,the same unconfirmed
accusations and exagerations after all these years are still being
floated about, to no satisfaction.

Crediblity is everything, and Mr Amos has none. He is a convicted
criminal and has been convicted of charges of child molestation/ child
abuse.

Mr. Amos'files are mere page afterpages of bumpf that aludes to
nothing nor proves anything.

Mr.Amos has been long noted for his self-angrandizing hyperbole, and dishonesty.

Why are our American cousins so fucked?

Did you know that subsequent to the Battle of the Plains of Abraham
Canada has been invaded twice? The first time was an American invasion
of Quebec during the American Revolution or as the Yanks like to call
The War of Independence. That invasion was led by that virtuous
epitome of American military honour, Gen. Benedict Arnold.
Then of course there was the War of 1812 where we whupped our
neighbours to the south and "did a number" to the "White House".

During two world wars, with German U Boats operated in the far upper
reaches of St Lawrence River and the Gulf of St Lawrence our American
"friends, families and allies" did what they do best....nothing.
Canada stood with the US in Korea, the first Gulf War, we sent ships,
aircraft and NDHQ planners re the US invasion and occupation of Iraq.
Canada sent troops to Afghanistan before NATO and ISAF in order to
free American forces so they could be deployed in Iraq.

Since 911 and Canada's assistance to the US, how have our "American
cousins" responded? Congressman Max Baucus and his lumber intrest
friends placed an "illegal" and eventially "proven" (NAFR dispute
mechanism) unfair 7 % tariff on Canadian softwood lumber.

Our American "friends" placed a 3.4 % tariff on Canadian wheat.
Senator McCain and the current DHS Neapolitano still publically say
the the 911 terrorists entred the US from Canada ...when it has long
been proven they did not.

Our American friends have become protectionists, yet still want access
to Canadian markets. Our American "friends"export the their stupidity
here, whether it be Rush Limbaugh, Bill O'Reilly, Anne Coulter, Pat
Buchannan, Fucker Carlson (Tucker)...et al.. all hate Canada.

Henry Kissinger once said. "Nations don't have friends, nations have
interests". Nothing good came to Canada from America.....A young
southern Ontario farmboy a member of the "colonial rabble" was
fighting under British Army officers during Battle of Lundy's Lane (
War of 1812) was asked...are you ready lad? He replied "ready aye
ready"...now the motto of the Canadian Army

Mr Amos is an uneducated malicious "system. Has anyone noticed "he"
always makes the same posts over and over, upon site after site?

"He" uses the expressions, same insults, made the same guess about
folks identity. "He" says he will see us all in court....when "he"
hasn't a dime for litigation.

"he" is a craven cowardly little man...in the pay of the RCM Police.
"He" has a criminal record and has been documented to be involve in
the abuse of children.

Mr. Amos distracts attention from the injustices that exist here in
Canada and everywhere...beause "it is all about him".

He is indeed....as the TV show said (southland)...too stupid to live".

The fact that you sneaky bastards mix truth with bullshit to further
you own malicious agendas is truly offensive to me or anyone else with
half a mind. Go to Barry Baby's blog Danny Boy and read what your new
butt buddy has written about Werner and I then check out what your

why you have made an enemy of mean old me.

If you scroll up arsehole your half baked brain should notice that
this blog in particular is ABOUT me Barry Baby. How could I highjack
it? As Danny Boy tries to impreach my character at least he has been
ethical enough to recognize my right to defend myself thus far.

Danny Boy has only denied or ignored the obvious as he insults my
friend and I for his own benefit On the other hand Barry Baby you have
falsely claimed that I have a crimial record and that I worked for
Scientologists that I am a pedophile etc etc etc and yet yu do not
even have the balls to present a true name and address. You are the

The Pandemic

Whilst folks like David Amos trumpet from the rooftops it all about
them. While David a supposed Canadian bleats aboyt CT Yankees and
"crooks" in the US...is there a pandemic coming to Canada?

Health-care is not the jurisdiction of the Federal Government of
Canada. Health-care is the sole jurisdiction of each of provinces of
Canada. So is the health-care systems of New Brunswick or say Alberta
up to the challenge. Ido know that plans are in place...but are our
provincial health systems and the resources thereof adequate to the
challenge?

I suppose that it is debateable if there is a clear and present danger
with "Swine Flu" Yes indeed in 1918 millions died of the "Spanish
Flue" but alas this is NOT 1918, and we know more about ...taking care
of ourselves.

Virus'and the like strike and kill mostly the elderly, the very young,
the very weak and infirm, in short the most vulnerable of Canadians.

This is "grist for the mill" of debate on site like this one. Theworld
economic melt-down ...is it going to be accompanied by a major killing
epidemic? Economic catastrophy, pestulence, disease...whats next a
war?

I would suggest participants here direct their attention to a the POGO

Even on this site Mr.Amos is at odds with...everybody. He tries to
unearth personal information and then posts it. He harasses
individuals until they call the police.

Is that acceptable in New Brunswick?

This Barry Winters character who claims I don't care about the flu and
hate jews too is truly one very sick puppy already. I claim that he
doesn't care about anyone except who he works for and his own pocket
book. Just because I hate him for good reason it does not follow that
I hate jews.

As for the subject of this email that I sent to many people (some of
them Jewish) I would have to agree with the concerns of Mr. McAfee
about disinfo and shitdisturbers from within. Most stories as old as
man himself relate the same tale about why one should beware of
friends such as Danny boy once pretended to be. I know none of these
folks personally but I did make friends with some from afar byway of
the Interenet. All have been lamenting the warning of a possible
pandemic for years and Dr Bill was the loudest to scream it. I am an
outsider looking in as far as the flu goes. I stayed out of this fray
about the flu and merely watched particularly after considering what
the Yankee Stevey Boy Hand had to say about mean old me and the
support some folks for him until he showed his nasty arse today. I
don't trust strangers anyway but I do give them the benefit of my
doubt because I expect the same treatment.

Some strangers are truly nasty out of the gate. Trust that they are
far easier to deal with than someone who comes pretending to be a
friend. This malevolent spin doctor Barry Winters is fine example.
What this evil bastard is saying about mean old me all over the web is
one thing but what he thinks he knows about the flu is pure bullshit
gleaned and regurgitated from the corporate media and then spit at me
for some strange reason I will never understand except that maybe he
is attacking my friends byway of association. So I figured I would
introduce him to them and see if he can handle the heat. Hard telling
not knowing who he works for exactly but I do know Barry Baby has
obviously studied me rather intensely and then has presented many lies
about me for reasons that cannot be for the good.

BTW Danny boy I have said nothing about the flu or of my take on the
scene because as I said I do not know enough about it to have opinion.
Howevver I do know for a fact that Stevey Boy Hand is a bigtime
bullshitter and clearly made my opinion known out of the gate to the
rest of the folks. As you well know I do not pull my punches nor I do
not play games with my childrens' future. I am concerned about what
Alexander Jones and his friends were saying about the Flu so I merely
posted some of their emails in my blog proved to them that I did it
and let others decide for themselves if they even bothered to read it
in the first place.

As I said I do not pretend know about the Flu etc, but I certainly
know men and how truly evil some can be. As you well know I am a
whistleblower about money and murder who is trying to protect my
little Clan the best way I can from afar despite how much fun you may
find in torturing us. he fine words of fancy but very malicious spin
doctors who hate me as they work for churches or governments ot Fake
Left friends for their own greedy benefit mean less than nothing to
me. Simple truths like looking glasses do not need the window
dressings fo fancy words to show you what you truly wish to know.

For the record despite not know if there is a pandemic coming our way
much less who caused it. However there is certainly a lot of talk in
the corporate media even up here in Canada. It seems to me they are
promoting fear for some maliciuos reason like just afte 9/11/01 and
that makes me greatly concerned for the well being of my children who
stranded in mean old Beantown without their proud father to protect
them.

In closing need I say FUCK YOU BARRY K WINTERS? Oh and are you the
dude who lives in Leduc? If so say Hoka Hey to Sean Lowe of the
RCMP/GRC for me. As you no doubt know he hangs out in the airport in
your neighborhood. N'esy Pas?

Taxpayers come first


The Edmonton JournalJanuary 31, 2009

Mayor Stephen Mandel gets all emotional about the $1-billion plan to
cure homelessness. That's $1 billion to provide housing units for

alcoholics, drug abusers, folks who can't or won't hold a job, or who
won't keep a housing unit in proper order.

Residential garbage pickup is once every two weeks in the winter.
Public transit is a joke -- service is bad and fares are increasing.
Emergency services are struggling and municipalities whine that they
can't raise the funds to qualify for federal grants for infrastructure
renewal.

The city is not providing appropriate services to taxpayers, yet
Mandel wants to spend $1 billion for 3,700 housing units. How many of
these units will end up being condemned because of neglect?

Edmonton's tax-paying, working, contributing citizens, and the city's
seniors, are not being well-served by this council and this mayor.

David Amos pounds his computer looking for little tidbits to sell to
the authorities or to redeem hiself from his child abuse arrest.

None of Mr. Amos writes makes sense grammatically to wit:

warned him that I was a very fierce political animal. I also made it
clear to Sgt. Vaillancourt that I have many very justifiable reasons
not to trust any cop anymore. I will do as I said and sue the Crown
Corp known as the RCMP in the Court of the Queen's Bench in Fredericton
unless somebody doesn't act with the scope of their employment ASAP.
However I must do as I promised and file my first complaint against the
Crown in Federal Court first. In the "mean" time perhaps some local cop
in New Brunswick should simply do his job and investigate all the
material I have given to them over the years. They really stop their
bullshit about jusridiction and mandate in order to protect their
personal interests. Do they not understand that I can sue them as
individuals? There is nothing wrong with exposing the truth about my
allegations of criminal conduct in support of public corruption for the
benefit of all Canadians. Just act non paritsan and let the politcal
card fall where they may. Lawyers and politicains are infinitely
replacable and all falsly claim to be ethical as they pick our pockets.
I would love to hear my name mentioned in a very public forum even if
it was slandered. Before the Yankee elections on November 7th would be
nice EH? Politicians cops and lawyers should look to their own personal
interests and then uphold the law and the public trust placed in their
positions. After all that is their job not mine N'est Pas?
I do not have to do anything any cop or lawyer may wish to suggest
anymore. Not all Maritimers are dumb defeatists as Stevey Boy Harper
has suggested in the past. At least I am one dumb pigheaded Maritimer
who knows the differnce between my rights under the Charter and the
government's wrongs practiced against them. I also know when somebody
has falied their oath to uphold the law and protect the public
interests and I certainly know how to hold them accountable in a legal
and ethical fashion. To say you will sue someone is not a threat. It is
merely a promise. Most lawyers employ such words everyday and they
practice law for a fee.
I have taken no oath to obey other then one to my wife and an unspoken
one to my seed.. Thus I obey only my own consience and I stress test my
own integrity every day in the best interests of my Clan. It is them
whom I serve and protect without a fee because it is my duty to do so
just as cops and other public servants etc are gainfully employed to
protect us all under oath and rule of law. My family has suffered
enough over the past five years. Tis high time I sought monetary relief
from our bad acting governemnts in order to bring them home to Canada
to live in peace and escape further Yankee malice.
Anyone can check my work. Much of it still remains on file in the
public record of many Yankee courts and one Canadian one. I am certain
that anyone would agree that my Clan has had amazing patience thus far.
I say nay never no more. I have been a student of enough Canadian law
to get a good grip on the scene. It is time to put what I learned to
good use for the benefit of my Clan. EH?
I am sending three emails to Sgt Vaillancourt and his bosses to protect
my own dumb arse from more false allegations I will also use hard copy
as evidence against the RCMP in court. Clearly I have introduced him to
a few local witnesses EH? Sending these emails to most of them is truly
redundant but it is to serve my own ends in the blogs. Charles Leblanc
should know by now where to find this particular email posted within a
blog. It is easy for anyone call me a liar or crazy as a loon or even
to make the false claim that I am some kind of a criminal threat to
them. But putting the claim in writing and signng one's name to the
document is another kettle of fish. N'est Pas? Try it sometime soon. In
fact I Double Dog Dare Ya to.

Charles, David Amos had been picked up by the RCMP, upon false
accusations, and put into the Chalmers Hospital.

This is a fate that is looming at the horizont for anybody who does
not put up with the corruption in this country and especially in " the
place to be ". The dictators are running a tide ship, and they dont
like it, when someone points out to them, that
underneath that picturesque veneer is a big mess hidden.

Yesterday it was me and many others, today it is David, and tomorrow

Is indeed an anti-semite "those Jew bastards' are his words. It has
been said "a man is known by the company he keeps", Mr. Amos' friend
Ray Dear called Mr. Barry K Winters in Leduc and found out that is NOT
me.

This blog, this blog is owned or administered by some one else. It is
or was a discussion about whistleblowing in New Brunswick. Yet it has
been hijacked by Mr. Amos. There has not been a post of merit,
informational, intellegent or without vitirol and ignorant
vituperation.

In Alberta there is AISH provincial dole for retards and peiople whose
brains are destroyed by drug use......is that your situation Mr. Amos?

You call me "Barry Baby" are you homosexual Mr. Amos? So for the
record: as I am not homosexual...I am not interested, but thanks I am
flattered.

Destroys every site he infects;

Gotta Agree with you G. Murray. Mr. Leblanc has not been a blogger of
anything socially relevant for years. He attends these protests/events
not to support their cause or inform but simply as a way of
shamelessly promoting himself. He does most causes..(like this one) a
disservice as they almost always end up as nothing more than platform
to to insult those he currently decides he dislikes back on his blog.
Anyone that actually believes his blog deserves anymore than a passing
glance and a shake of the head at the nonsense there in really can't
be interested in news or facts at all (CLOSE QUOTE)

Indeed, that is the kettle calling the pot black

Name and title: Ellen L.S. Koplow, executive vice president, general
counsel and corporate secretary.

Age: 48

Online broker: TD Ameritrade Holding Corp. provides a panoply of
online brokerage services, from traditional discount trading to
sophisticated products for the more advanced trader. Customers,
including individual traders, investment advisers and long-term
investors, can buy and sell by telephone, fax and the Internet.

The firm was established in 1971 as a local investment bank. The
modern version was formed with Ameritrade's 2006 acquisition of TD
Waterhouse USA. Subsidiaries include TD Ameritrade Inc. and TD
Ameritrade Clearing Inc. The company now has more than 4,000
employees, and in 2007 reported net revenues of more than $2 billion.
Corporate headquarters are located in Omaha, Neb., but Koplow's office
is in Baltimore.

Daily duties: Is there such a thing as a typical day? "No, but that's
what makes my job fun," Koplow said. She is the manager of the legal
and compliance function of the company and its subsidiaries. She also
oversees the internal auditing. Her workday is predictable only to the
extent that it is always long: 12 or 13 hours. She arrives early, to
ponder what to focus on in the day ahead.

Typical issues involve public-company or board matters, large
regulatory concerns, mergers and acquisitions and employment. Koplow
works with the company's chief compliance officer "all the time."
Additionally, she plays an administrative role in running her
department and attending to its economic aspects. For all of their
length, the days "go quickly," she said. A self-described generalist,
Koplow reports to Joseph H. Moglia, the director and chief executive
officer.

Range of responsibilities: The firm answers to numerous regulators,
chief among them the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and the
Financial Industry Regulatory Authority. The authority is the largest
nongovernmental watchdo...

It's criminal forfeiture and he pleaded guilty to the forfeiture
counts but disputed the amounts. There's a March 6 letter about the
forfeitures that's sealed but the media has filed a motion to unseal
it. Madoff's lawyer filed a letter today agreeing parts should be
unsealed.

Whose emails from March 6th do YOU think are still sealed? To think
you call youself a lawyer and you have had my material for five years

Ms Olsen

Thank you for keeping me informed.

Yes unseal all my emails with all their attachments immediately and
make certain that the US Attorny's office finally practices full
disclosurement as to who I am and what my concerns are as per the Rule
of Law within a purported democracy.

As you folks all well know I am not a shy man and I have done nothing
wrong. It appears to me that bureacratic people only use the right to
privacy of others when it suits their malicious ends in order to
protect their butts from impreacment,litigation and prosecution.

The people in the US Attorney's Office and the SEC etc are very well
aware that I protested immediately to everyone I could think of when
the instant I knew that my correspondences went under seal and Madoff
pled guilty so quickly and yet another cover up involing my actions
was under full steam. Everybody knows that.the US Government has been
trying to keep my concerns about the rampant public corruption a
secret for well over seven long years. However now that a lot of
poeple and their countries in general are losing a lot of money people
are beginning to remember just exactly who I am and what i did
beginning over seven years ago..

P.S. For the record Obviously I pounced on these Yankee bastards as
soon as the newsrag in Boston published this article on the web last night.

http://www.bostonherald.com/business/general/view.bg?articleid=1162354&f
ormat=&page=2&listingType=biz#articleFull


Notice that Nester just like everyone else would not say my name? It
is because my issues surrounding both Madoff and are NOT marketing
timing They are as you all well know money laundering, fraud, forgery,
perjury, securites fraud, tax fraud, Bank fraud, illegal
wiretappping and Murder amongst other very serious crimes.

"SEC spokesman John Nester dismissed similarities between Markopolos
and Scannell's cases as "not a valid comparison."

He said the SEC determined the market-timing by Putnam clients that
Scannell reported didn't violate federal law. Nester said the SEC only
acted after another tipster alleged undisclosed market-timing by some
Putnam insiders.

Scannell, now a crusader for SEC reforms, isn't surprised the agency
is in hot water again.

Noting that several top SEC officials have gone on to high-paying
private-sector jobs, he believes hopes for future employment impact
investigations. "It's a distinct disadvantage to make waves before you
enter the private sector," Scannell said."

In United States v. Bernard L. Madoff, 09 Cr. 213 (DC), the Court
received a request from NBC and ABC to unseal all correspondence from
victims that has been submitted in connection with the case.

This includes your email to the Government.

If the correspondence from
victims is unsealed, the victim's personal identifying information
including name, address, telephone number and email address (to the
extent it was included on the correspondence) will become public. The
Government must submit a response to the request by NBC and ABC by
Tuesday, March 31, 2009

Please let us know whether you consent to the full disclosure of your
correspondence, or whether you wish to have your correspondence remain
sealed for privacy or other reasons. If you wish to have your
correspondence remain sealed, please let us
know the reason. We will defend your privacy to the extent that we
can. Thank you.

I looks like the US attorney in New York finally has to unseal my
emails that you dudes have been sitting on for quite some time for no
reason I will ever understand other than you are just a bunch of
chickenshits.

I know NBC, ABC, your blogger buddies or any other media wacko will
never say my name but the pissed off folks that lost a lot of money
with Bernie Baby just may ask how the hell I am EH?

On March 10, 2009, the Honorable Denny Chin provided the following
guidance for victims who wish to be heard at the plea proceeding on
March 12, 2009 at 10:00 a.m.:

Judge Chin stated that there are two issues that the Court will
consider at the hearing: (1) whether to accept a guilty plea from the
defendant to the eleven-count Criminal Information filed by the
Government, which provides for a maximum sentence of 150 years'
imprisonment; and (2) whether the defendant should be remanded or
released on conditions of bail, if the Court accepts a guilty plea.
Judge Chin also stated that, at the hearing on March 12, 2009, he will
conduct a plea allocution of the defendant and then will announce
whether the Court intends to accept the plea. At that time, the Court
will solicit speakers who disagree with the Court's intended ruling.

Assuming the defendant pleads guilty and his plea is accepted by the
Court, the Court intends to allow the Government and defense counsel
to speak on the issue of bail. The Court will then announce its
intended ruling on that issue. The Court will then invite individuals
who disagree with the proposed ruling on bail to be heard.

The Court noted that there will be opportunity for victims to be
heard in the future on the subjects of sentencing, forfeiture and
restitution in advance of any sentencing of the defendant.

The Court also noted that it is not appropriate for victims who wish
to speak concerning sentencing issues to be heard at the March 12,
2009 proceeding.

A link to the a transcript of the March 10, 2009 Court hearing can be
found on the website of the United States Attorney's Office for the
Southern District of New York:

Injured Worker looking for help to sue police that kicked down door
without warrant


Dear Sarha Khan Staff Lawyer, BC Public Interest Advocacy Centre,
Canada Constitution Foundation, Connie Fogal, Mr. Amos, Georgia
Straight and Canadian Policy Alternatives

It seems that if the powers that be want to shut someone up or
selected people they use the guise of the Mental Health Act to do it,
especially just before a election. I am talking about people with NO
psychiatric condition at all, but have used the preverbal "wrong tone"
I guise we now have the Vancouver and Legislature Tone Police aka
(VPD) and Legislature Security. They especially try to pick on people
are recluses who speak out, like my persons, Hitler started this way
too.

Is the Legislative security and the Vancouver police the new Brown
Shits and Gestapo?

This recently was tried on me, but unfortunately for them as the
person whom I was a guest of is also a registered nurse and often
deals with persons that "Car 87" brings in.

I was almost shot point blank while legally on private property as I
thought it was a home invasion from somebody other than the VPD, and
then I was hand cuffed naked in the rain for two hours. The police
refused to give their names or a incident number.

Does anyone care?

These events are outlined in the videos below on you tube on
drywallrocker, who was kind enough to post for me.

These events transpired on March 30, 2009, and as my 60 day limitation
period is running out and I am currently of person with little means
please spread the word I need a lawyer. We all know there is no legal
aid.

The New North American Alliance now trying to infringe on free speech
of the worker, am I one of many to follow does anyone care?

See synopsis below.

Dear readers:

2. video titled: supplemant to the video of police raid (three weeks ago)

3. video titled: the vancouver police raid on a injured worker (three weeks ago)

posted March 31, 2009, produced on March 30, 2009

http://tr.youtube.com/watch?v=rO1ZykC35qs&feature=channel_page

http://tr.youtube.com/watch?v=UOHXndXecg8&feature=channel_page

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nPhlUhcrzvk&feature=channel_page

I believe either the BC Federation of Labour, or the BC Liberal Cronie
Elisha Boyd phoned the goons and made up a slanderous story about Josh
Thurston in a effort to shut him up, but they may have come calling
from some other order by somebody else. The VPD had attended 5023
Price Albert Street twice prior maybe more with no success, this was
relayed by legislative security in Victoria a few days after each
attendance by VPD.

Josh had apparently used the wrong tone (but without the use of foul
language) when previously taking to various NDP MLAs about the plight
of the injured worker, as they seem to care little if any, unless to
garner votes. Josh is also a strong advocate of; Don't vote for the
least of what you want, having the ballot selection of; None Of The
Above, and taking ones name of the voters lists Federally,
Provincially and Municipally so as hamper any equalization or transfer
payments.

Josh like many believes the only good system is a no party system or
at the very least representative government similar to the NWT, were a
independent can be Premier or Prime Minister as the case may be in
runoff ballots by secret vote by the members of the elected government
in the case of a elected senate the same could be done for Governor
General.

The main Question is; why have a system where the leaders is selected
by a party and not by the people? Who is the main campaign donors and
lobbyist to those parties, as that who they represent not the people,
and in BC it's the Independent Contractors & Business Association
(ICBA) and the BC Federation of Labour not WE THE PEOPLE. The police
represent only those in power and in turn only those main campaign
donors, the aforementioned you tubes are proof of that

Apparently the VPD cooked up the angle using the Mental Heath Act for
the justification of kicking down a door when not answered so the
could have a look around and search through the owners personal stuff
without a warrant.

Strangely enough Josh has NO suicidal tendencies other that what the
government are seemingly driving him to. Josh also has not lived at
that address for almost ten years and even at that time has kept a
postal address for almost twenty years as a place of contact. The VPD
certainly like to know where every one is all the time just like the
Stasi (former East German Police)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stasi.

I guess the Stasi model is something the North American governments
will strive for.

It seems that police and government flunkies don't like postal
addresses in case they want to serve or arrest you - we live in a
police state especially in large metropolitan cities, Canadians are in
a coma and just don't know it yet.

VPD pin 2577 confirmed the call came from a group in Victoria and Sgt,
Rice of VPD professional conduct stated that the call came from the
Ministry of Employment and Housing aka welfare, the head of
legislative security Sgt. Greg Nelson confirmed that there was no open
security complaint file on Mr. Thurston.

Well someone in government or it's loyal opposition lying, who is it?

All Mr. Thurston was doing in the past was trying to point out ideas
of change with regards to WCB and how some workers may suffer that was
explicitly stated that did not include him.

WE LIVE IN A POLICE STATE and need bullet proof vests to protect
ourselves from the cops while we sleep or walk the streets.

If the police had discharged the 12 gauge shotgun at a point blank
range with a bean bag round or not Mr. Thurston would be dead or
permanently blinded, at the very least left with severe trauma.

Mr. Thurston now lives in constant fear of assassination by the VPD,
that are just looking for a excuse to hurt of kill again, he can not
even get a bullet resistant vest to give him comfort,

What will give Mr. Thurston peace of mine and comfort?

I hope the VPD officer 2350 with the 12 gauge shotgun who also
assaulted Mr. Thurston while hand cuffed, and the person or persons or
group responsible are happy and feel good about themselves. Remember
what comes around goes around, Karma is a bitch, and I sincerely hope
all involved including there families, all get malignant cancer suffer
then die.

PS Regarding Civil Liberties. Support is just not there. There needs
to be something more than News Releases, Volunteering and Booklets and
mere documentation and a bit of advice from; Legal Aid Society,
Community Legal Assistance Society (CLAS), BC Civil Liberties
Association, Pivot Legal Society, Western Access to Justice, BC Public
Interest Advocacy Centre, ect..

They maybe all well meaning, or a way of the legal profession of doing
their pro bono every year as required, or just some funding their
organization, but the end result is there is no justice and most
certainly Civil Rights in this country unless one is one of means to
pay for justice or a criminal or a crack head, lets not forget a
immigrant with the threat of deportation or a hooker.

Time to grab your dog, gun and beef jerky and head for the hills, But
that's even hard to do since Gordo,The man that makes Steven Harper
look like Jack Layton, the man with the social conscience of a flea,
repealed the Homestead Act.

Now tell me why I, or any other Canadian worth his or her salt should
vote, take your name off all voters lists everywhere and tell them
you're moving so they don't get equalization payments or funding from
you vote. The party system must go, and only have a consensus
government like the NWT.

Everybody knows why I strongly disagree with Warren Buffett and Mark
Carney EH? Small wonder that the Wall Street Journal now blocks my
comments in their blogs. Hell most of the big Media dudes except those
in New Brunswick News are employed by publiclly held companies. No
wonder none of them will ever mention my name or what i did seven
years ago. All the greedy bastards are worried about keeping their own
damned jobs and pensions as the ecomomy goes into a tailspin. to hell
with their fellow common man CORRECT?

http://www.newswire.ca/fr/releases/archive/March2009/12/c8088.html

TORONTO, March 12 /CNW/ - Gloomy politicians and frightened economists
continue to warn that the world could be slipping into another Great
Depression. But behind the steady drumbeat of chilling economic
numbers and
staggering job losses, some of the world's most sophisticated and
successful investors are beginning to see signs of hope, and perhaps
even the first stages of a turnaround. This week in Maclean's, senior
writer Jason Kirby cuts through the confusion and gloom to explain why
Warren Buffett, Mark Carney and
others are making the case for optimism.

MUCH TO CHUCKY LEBLANC'S CHAGRIN NEED I SAY BULLSHIT ONCE AGAIN???

It certainly appears that I am not alone in that thinking EH?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warren_Buffett

Buffett ran into criticism, [30] during the subprime crisis of
2007–2008, part of the late 2000s recession, that he has allocated
capital too early resulting in suboptimal deals.

Buffett has called the 2007—present downturn in the financial sector
"poetic justice".[31]

Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway suffered a 77% drop in earnings during Q3
2008 and several of his recent deals appear to be running into large
mark-to-market losses.[32]

Berkshire Hathaway acquired 10% perpetual preferred stock of Goldman
Sachs at $123[33] only for it to fall to below $60. Furthermore some
of Buffett's Index put options (European exercise at expiry only) that
he wrote (sold) are currently running around $6.73 billion
mark-to-market losses.[34] The scale of the potential loss prompted
the SEC to demand that Berkshire produce, "a more robust disclosure"
of factors used to value the contracts.[34]

Buffett also helped Dow Chemical pay for its $18.8 billion takeover of
Rohm & Haas. He thus became the single largest shareholder in the
enlarged group with his Berkshire Hathaway, which provided $3 billion,
underlining his instrumental role during the current crisis in debt
and equity markets.[35]

In October 2008, the media reported that Warren Buffett had agreed to
buy General Electric (GE) preferred stock, when it was trading in the
mid 20s of dollar.[36] The operation included extra special
incentives: he received an option to buy 3 billion GE at $22.25 in the
next five years and also received a 10% dividend (callable within
three years). However, shortly after, GE gave up tens of billions in
market capitalization and just bounced off a low of $8.80 in February
23, 2009, a price that has not been seen in over a decade. GE's stock
price continued to fall after that point, and by early May, for
example, it had declined to a 18 year low. Events like these have
prompted a wave of criticism against Berkshire Hathaway and Warren
Buffett. In February 2009, Warren Buffett unloaded part of Procter &
Gamble Co and Johnson & Johnson shares from his portfolio.[37]

Some have claimed that there is a financial incentive for Berkshire
Hathaway to keep the myth that Buffett is an “oracle” alive and that
the company is dependent on the Warren Buffett myth: that exaggerated
sense of comfort investors share when it comes to Buffett’s beliefs
and recommendations.[38] In addition to suggestions of mistiming,
questions have been raised as to the wisdom in keeping some of
Berkshire's major holdings including The Coca-Cola Company (NYSE:KO)
which in 1998 peaked at $86. Buffett discussed the difficulties of
knowing when to sell in the company's 2004 annual report: "That may
seem easy to do when one looks through an always-clean, rear-view
mirror. Unfortunately, however, it’s the windshield through which
investors must peer, and that glass is invariably fogged."[39] In
March 2009, Buffett stated in a cable television interview that the
economy had "fallen off a cliff... Not only has the economy slowed
down a lot, but people have really changed their habits like I haven't
seen."[40] Additionally, Buffett fears we may revisit a 1970s level of
inflation, which led to a painful stagflation that lasted many
years[1].


For the record after I heard enough nonsense on the radio today I
called Buffett and Carney's offices again and lots of you people too
Correct? trust that you latest president Rob Moir the wannabe NDP MP
knows everything but he and his politcal cohorts think I that am not
worth talking to EH Graham Steele?

Erindi:

How many protests etc do the people in Iceland and around the world
participate in before someone acts within the scope of their
employment and asks me some ethical questions? Are you waiting to the
RCMP and Stevey Boy Harper to get rid of me?

May I suggest that someone pick up the damned phone and call me back?

In the world of New Brunswick, or Canadian poltical discourse, what

FYI I liked what Nathan Bedford Forest did on behalf of his homeland
during the War of Northern Agression not afterwards dummy. you do know
my father's friend David was the first Canadian to be awarded the VC
in WW II and Raymond was killed on June 7th, 1944 a mere two weeks
before I was accepted to Saint Jean Quebec before finishing High
School. The decision why I decided not to go to that school is
affirmed nearly every day lately by the likes of snobby people such as
you. It seems that your Intel is about mean old me is rather flawed EH
Barry Baby? Rest assures my ancesters such as old Daniel Kieth who was
a Kings Ranger in the Revolutionary War and who is buried just over
the ridge from here is no doubt proud of his grandson and his battles
with evil Yankees and nasty little Canadian's such as yourself who
lick their jackboots for pay today. Lets just say i know a little
history too. So what? That is in the past it is what that gets done
tomorrow
 that counts correct dummy?

Thanx for proving for me what was sent and received by you and your pals.

BTW those are the words that you and your sick friend the Newfy

pure grade A malevolent BULLSHIT to use against the CROWN thanks to

David Raymond Amos said...

You are very wrong about Pogo Barry Baby. Just like here with you and
in Youtube with your butt buddies Dirty dicky Dean and the Diddler
Dana Durnford I defended myself from the attacks on my Clan and myself
from Depupty dog robert F. O'Meara. After I pickled the bastard the
blog was edited for Georgey Boy Bush's benefit.

Furthermore I am banished from the French bastard Chucky Leblanc's
blog and most of the others. Rest assured that I don't mind. Like old
Groucho I wouldn't want to belong to a club that would have me for a
memember. To give the little devil his due I do hate every politicain
and all their spin doctors in the blogs that is why I have NEVER voted
and always run as an Independent against the smiling bastards.

Get yet arsehole. I don't think so. I suspect that you are on overtime
now. So that the greedy bastard that your are can double up your
paycheck this week as you try hard to impeach my character in a
fainthearted slanderous fashion with no true name N'esy Pas FED?
April 30, 2009 8:50 PM
David Raymond Amos said...

FYI the funniest thing you wrote tonight was the fact that Dirty dicky
Dean tried to contact you. Not long agoe you claimed to me that you
wished to find him correct? Maybe you are that Robert L. Thompsett
arsehole he comlains constantly about. If so you ceratinly don't seem
all that clever to me no matter how many fancy words you can dream up
to apply to mindless insults you still smell as foul as hell.

In closing for tonight you did confirm that you were assigned to deal
with mean old me did you not Barry Baby? Could that be your usual
Bullshit or could that be because I brought up my old enemy Gilles
Moreau? Or are you just a Radar dude? Or merely just nasty Jewish
friend of that evil French smiling bastard with the red coat and the
fine fur hat? After all Moreau was a spin doctor for the RCMP after he
got away with murder in the "The Place To BE" perhaps you snobby
little pricks worked together for years. Perhaps you still do N'esy
Pas?

Anyway I don't give a fuck. I have a heater in my truck and I can go
off to the rodeo too. I am a far freer man than you dudes could ever
dream of being.

Anyway remember these emails Barry Baby?

Are you still here in Canada? If you are, may I ask why? Or are you in
jail, again. In your rant you use the word murder here in Canada. Have
you any proof and or evidence? Is Werner Bock still alive?

Where is Roger Ray Dean, or Ray Dean? Is he still living in Edmonton
with his Mother?

Any information from any source re these questions would be
appreciated and perhaps rewarded.

Anybody can cut and paste other people's work Dirty Dicky Dean but
your death threats are all your own. The fact that you send them to
the RCMP forever proves to me that you are one of their shills. I may
elborate more tomorrow with some cut and paste of my own. Tonight I am
too pissed off at the world and letting the RCMP and their politcal
masters know that they are not fooling me because I am too stupid
CORRECT Wee Willy Elliott?

Can you imagine if I really were a Hells Angel instead of just a very
pissed of Maritimer? How long do you think this shit you write would
have gone on?

You words about AK47s and hand grenades and wanting to kill me made me
think of the words of Quebecer Gilles Moreau an old enemy of mine from
the RCMP whom I testified against for his killing a man in the "Place
to Be" on a bike back in the eighties when you were shitting yellow.

http://www.cbc.ca/news/reportsfromabroad/murray/20000403.html

"And so the international police catch suspects and if they aren't
suspected of murder, they let them go. The result is predictably
ludicrous, according to RCMP officer Gilles Moreau, now the deputy
police commissioner of Pristina. "If you are in possession of an AK47
or a hand grenade, we are going to fingerprint you and let you go, and
hope that we're not going to catch you with the same things later. But
we are catching the same people too many times and that's part of the problem."

This is where you got you big idea to call me a Hells Angel after
calling me a Fed backfired on you and your pal Byron Prior years ago.
You and your hero Chucky Leblanc have never had an original thought
CORRECT Dirty Dicky Dean?

HELL ANGELS FROM MONTREAL LOOKING FOR CHARLES LEBLANC????
by Charles LeBlanc Saturday, Jun. 12, 2004 at 11:26 AM
oldmaison@yahoo.com Fredericton

Thursday morning, I showed up at the Legislature to use the computer
at the Library. I was told by security that two rough looking
individuals walked through the doors and asked for a Charles Leblanc?

They described the guys as rough looking and one of them had a long
gray beard with a leather jacket! At first, I believe it was the Hell
Angels coming down from Montreal for a hit on Charles.

Hours later, I seen my bigot buddy Matthew Glenn and he was in front
of the Legislature with his blowhorn. For you people who don't know
the bigot? He's the one who started the Anglo Society. I seen him
preaching to three young
kids and of course I butt in and said - Hey Bigot??? Why don't you
bigot go home?

Minutes later, we were approached by two guys and they asked politely
–Where can we locate a Charles LeBlanc??? In a matter of seconds, the
bigot quickly pointed at me. I said to myself - Ohhh?? Thanks a lot
Bigot!!!

At the end? It was a guy named David Amos and I guess that he's
running at an independent in the riding of Fundy Royal. The guy have
been living in the area of Boston and he's been following my updates
on the internet. I'm telling you that the information highway is a
great way to spread the message to the rest of the world!

We talked for around 30 minutes and it was nice to see the bigot, me
and David Amos together debating our own little concern issue. We all
have our own issues and it's too bad that we cannot unite and fight
but that's the way Canadians do things. They remind silent until the
Government really pissed them all and go out and vote the party in
power out of office

(BTW the last paragraph were words I said that day that Chucky stole from me)

Chucky Leblanc the infamous French Blogger from Fat Fred City
obviously started the ball malicious rolling on the Internet when he
falsely claimed that I was a Hells Angel while I was running in the
election of the 38th Parliament. I have no doubt his old buddy the ex
RCMP dudes who are now current SGT at ARMS in both Fredericton and
Ottawa and dumb arseholes the Fat Fred City Finest fed that bullshit
about me being a drrug dealer and a Hells Angel in Chucky's ear for
the benefit of their very corrupt political masters asuch as Paul
Martin and that of the killer cop Gilles Moreau and his very mean old
boss Zack both formerly of the "Place to BE" one now in Quebec I
believe and the other in Africa.

Solari Investment Screens, LLC is based in a farming community in the cotton fields of Tennessee, approximately an hour from the great Mississippi River. Our offices are across the town commons from one of the oldest operating small cotton gins in the United States. The planting and harvest seasons remind us to look through stock and bond indices to see the price of food, energy and rainfall levels.

We manage two equity investment screens: Solari World and Solari Space.  Interested investors can access our screens through Parvin Asset Management and its affiliates, Parvin is a registered investment advisor based in Sioux Falls, South Dakota.

Catherine Austin Fitts is the founder and managing member.

Since January 2001, Parvin (formerly SWAN Asset Management) has been offering its portfolio management strategies to address the investment requirements of the individuals and families we serve.

Our objective is to preserve capital and to provide higher risk-adjusted returns than the market. To accomplish this goal, we concentrate on the fundamental importance of value and profitability.

Equity portfolios are constructed with focused positions since we view too much diversification as lowering the opportunity for higher returns without reducing risk. As a result, we build portfolios with stocks that are typically spread among 20 equal-weighted positions. In general, we look for stock holdings that are usually characterized by:

  • high returns on capital;
  • steady earnings growth;
  • reasonable valuation;
  • substantial income, as appropriate; and
  • diversification across six, or more, economic sectors.

Fwd: Solari Action Network: US Department of Justice Declines to Pay Hamilton Securities

Sat, 18 May 2002 10:28:32 -0700

--- Begin Message ---
=====================================================================
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
May 18, 2002

Department of Justice Declines to Pay Hamilton Securities Monies Owed for
Work That Saved the Government $2.2 Billion
===============================================================


On March 18, 2002, United States District Court Judge Louis F. Oberdorfer
issued a scheduling order for United States of America, ex. rel., Ervin and
Associates, Inc. v. The Hamilton Securities Group et al. (the qui tam case)
and the related case filed by Hamilton against Ervin & Associates, a
Ginnie Mae (HUD) contractor, and John Ervin, individually.

The order ends the mediation between the Department of Justice, Ervin and
Associates, and The Hamilton Securities Group without settlement. A
consolidated trial is scheduled for September, 2003 with discovery underway.

The mediation began in May 2001, shortly after a five year investigation of
the HUD loan sales program by the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the
Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Office of Inspector
General into Ervin's allegations concluded with no findings of any wrong
doing. The governing statute provides for a 60 day investigation
period.

During the five year investigation, Hamilton repeatedly produced
affidavits and documents affirming the absence of any evidence
to support Ervin's allegations, including from individuals associated
with the loan sales program, affidavits of HUD auditors who
informed the government in 1996 that there was no evidence
to support Ervin's allegations and documents from FBI investigators
who informed the government in 1999 that there was no such evidence.
Hamilton also produced evidence suggesting that government
investigators tried to falsify evidence against Hamilton.

Hamilton is waiting for the Court of Claims to proceed on Hamilton's
litigation to force the government to pay outstanding bills on services
rendered by Hamilton between 1994-97 which saved the FHA Funds
at HUD $2.2 billion as calculated by the government and confirmed
by an audit of the General Accounting Office (GAO).

Hamilton's efforts to support HUD reengineering efforts were terminated
in 1997 when the government decided to return to traditional methods
of resolving defaulted mortgages, including growing much large
inventories of government owned and controlled foreclosed properties
that necessary with less expensive resolution methods.

Catherine Austin Fitts, founder of Hamilton and now President of Solari,
Inc., said, "Hamilton has given DOJ and HUD every opportunity to do
the right thing by Hamilton's shareholders and former employees,
all whom served their government, the taxpayers and communities
loyally and well.  We are deeply disappointed that the government
has not paid Hamilton for work performed and rated excellent by
the government itself. We are also deeply disappointed that DOJ
declined to seek dismissal of a meritless qui tam case brought
in the name of the government despite declining to join in the case."

For more information, see http://www.solari.com/gideon.  All press inquiries
should be directed to Hamilton's attorneys, Michael J. McManus or Kenneth E.
Ryan at Drinker Biddle & Reath LLP (202/842-8830, [EMAIL PROTECTED]; or
202/842-8807, [EMAIL PROTECTED]) or Catherine Austin Fitts, Solari, Inc.

Dear David,


This week, we are wrapping up our national tour in Ottawa.

By the end of this week, the National Citizens Inquiry will have heard testimony from over 300 witnesses in 8 different cities.

Citizen led and citizen funded, this is an unprecedented historic event.

Despite media and big tech censorship, the hearings are being broadcast online for thousands to see.

There are many people, internationally, who are being inspired by what we are doing in Canada as well.

Our work isn’t done after this week, and you will hear more about that in the very near future.

We still need to finish paying off expenses for our hearing in Quebec last week.

Please consider donating $10, $20, $50, $100 or more.

It's truly incredible to see what we have accomplished, despite adversity.

We cannot fully express our gratitude for your support!

You have made this Citizens Inquiry possible.

Thank you!

NCI Fundraising Team

    Former N.L. PC leader Ches Crosbie donated money to support the Freedom Convoy

    Crosbie donated $800 to protest prolonged states of emergency and travel restrictions

    Ches Crosbie told CBC News he's chosen to support the protesters in Ottawa with an $800 donation through an online crowdfunding platform, which he paid on Feb. 8.

    "Indefinite states of emergency, such as we are under in most of Canada, are a dangerous thing, a very dangerous thing," Crosbie told CBC News on Monday.

    "I support the right of peaceful protest and I see the Freedom Convoy as a peaceful protest."

    The federal government invoked the Emergencies Act on Monday to disperse blockades clogging main arteries in the nation's capital, with officials in Ottawa decrying damage to the Canadian economy.

    "It is now clear that there are serious challenges to law enforcement's ability to effectively enforce the law," Prime Minister Justin Trudeau told reporters at a news conference Monday afternoon.

    "It is no longer a lawful protest at a disagreement over government policy. It is now an illegal occupation. It's time for people to go home."

         A protester who arrived to support convoy participants blocked by local residents in a counter-protest argues with police officers in Ottawa on Sunday. (Justin Tang/The Canadian Press)

    Crosbie, however, said he sees it differently.

    "You have to get your information from whatever sources are available, and what I've been reading is that the vast majority of what you call the protesters are law-abiding people who could well be your neighbours," he said.

    "As far as I can tell, what's going on is, by and large, lawful."

    Ottawa police have reported safety concerns and "aggressive, illegal behaviour" from the protesters.

    Mandates 'unconstitutional'

    Longtime lawyer Crosbie also said he believes requiring vaccination against COVID-19 for travel within the country is unconstitutional.

    "I think the mandates and the states of emergency should be terminated immediately. I think something very important is at stake, and that's our constitutional rights under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms," he said.

    "Governments have taken a very cavalier attitude as to whether what they are doing is legal or not."

    Crosbie said he agrees with former Newfoundland and Labrador premier Brian Peckford, also an outspoken supporter of the protest.

    Donation list

    CBC News has reviewed information that appears to identify tens of thousands of Freedom Convoy donors to the Christian crowdfunding site GiveSendGo.

    The data, hacked and released briefly on its front page, includes names, locations, dollar amounts, personal email addresses and even the credit card companies used for each transaction.

    In total, the database shows donations from more than 190 people who used Newfoundland and Labrador postal codes, but CBC cannot verify whether those individuals actually live in the province.

    Convoy organizers have raised millions of dollars, initially through the GoFundMe crowdfunding site. When GoFundMe shut the fundraising campaign down, organizers pivoted to GiveSendGo.

    Hon. Ches Crosbie shares his powerful closing remarks May 19th

    Methinks this is supposed to a democracy Hence Crosbie should be able to give his money to whomever he wishes much to the chagrin of Trudeau the Younger N'esy Pas? 
     
     
     

    Former PC leader Ches Crosbie bankrolled the party last year with $300K in donations

    Political scientist says lack of restrictions on massive donation is 'highly concerning and unprecedented'

    Despite this large injection of cash from its leader, Newfoundland and Labrador's PCs dropped from 15 to 13 seats in the House of Assembly, and the Liberals under Premier Andrew Furey won a slim majority with 22 seats.

    Crosbie lost his own seat in the district of Windsor Lake, and quit politics a few days after the results were announced.

    When asked why he gave so much of his own money, Crosbie said he wanted to level the playing field with the incumbent Liberals, and that he believed strongly in his party's strategy to bring jobs and prosperity to the province.

    You could say I put my money where my mouth is.
    - Ches Crosbie

    "There was nothing I was going to get out of the financial contribution I made except give the PC Party the chance of coming into office and implementing that program," he said.

    "You could say I put my money where my mouth is."

    'Highly concerning'

    A political scientist, however, says Crosbie's donation is further proof that Newfoundland and Labrador's elections rules are in need of an overhaul.

    "I think that is highly concerning and unprecedented," said Russell Williams, a professor at Memorial University.

    Williams says he believes it would be hard to find a similarly large donation by an individual to a political party in modern Canadian history.

    That's because the federal government and most other provinces have limits on the amount of donations that individuals, corporations and unions can make, he said.

    That's not the case in Newfoundland and Labrador.

    "Essentially, their election campaign was financed by one donor, by and large, and that's really alarming for the state of our democratic institutions and a really sad comment on the state of our campaign finance laws here in Newfoundland and Labrador that that's allowed," said Williams.

    The 2021 audited financial statements of the PC Party available on Elections N.L.'s website show that contributions totalled just over $721,000.

    The party spent roughly $670,000 during the campaign.

    The documents also includes a list of those who donated $100 or more to the party.

    Two donations stand out from the rest: one for $50,000 and a second for $250,000. Both were from Crosbie, a retired lawyer and member of one of the province's best-known business and political families.

    CBC News spoke with a handful of longtime political insiders who say they've never heard of such large donations by an individual in a single year.

    The next largest single donation, at $15,000, was from Fortis Inc., while there were eight different donations of $10,000.

    No rules were broken

    Williams said the political optics of Crosbie's donations may be mitigated by the fact he was party leader. He also didn't break any rules.

    However, said Williams, "I still think it's highly problematic because it says that people who have large sums of money have, essentially, extra power or extra influence over how our democratic institutions work."

    The vote was scheduled for Feb. 13, 2021, but the election was thrown into turmoil following a surge in COVID-19 cases in the week leading up to voting day, and strict new public health measures were invoked on the night before the scheduled vote.

    In-person voting was cancelled, mail-in ballots were distributed and the results were ultimately not known until March 27, making it the longest campaign on record.

    Fallout from the controversial election continues, with three legal challenges against the results still before the courts, and speculation swirling about a secret report that alleges harassment and bullying at Elections N.L.

    In the lead-up to the campaign, the PCs announced they would limit their fundraising efforts in order to reduce the risk of spreading the virus.

    Crosbie said it's already difficult for opposition parties to attract donations "because they'd rather give their money to the party in power in hopes of getting some kind of favour or preferment."

    So Crosbie said he felt the need to open his own wallet.

    "We probably wouldn't have done as well," Crosbie said when asked if his money made a difference.

    "You don't run a political party on fumes. So if I didn't make that personal contribution, we would have had a much reduced opportunity to get our message out."

    Crosbie's successor, interim PC Leader David Brazil, said he was aware that Crosbie made a significant contribution to the party last year. But he didn't know the specifics until Elections N.L. published the audited statements.

    "We were fortunate enough that we had a leader who was committed to this party, but more importantly, committed to the people of this province, that he was able to put his own money up to ensure there was an alternative to the Liberal party and that we could get across this province and get our message out to people and hear from [voters] about what kind of government they wanted," said Brazil.

    Following the election, there were loud cries for election reform in the province, and the Liberals have established an all-party committee with a mandate to modernize the Elections Act.

    Crosbie agrees that changes are needed and says the process is taking too long.

    As for his own future, Crosbie, 69, is not ruling out a return to politics, despite two unsuccessful provincial elections. 

    "I'm just going to say that I like to see a job finished that I started," he said.

    Liberals grill health minister over alleged about-face on elected health board positions

    Official opposition accuses premier of 'power grab'

    Rob McKee, Liberal MLA for Moncton Centre, called the bill "an attack on democracy," and questioned an apparent about-face by Fitch on the issue.

    In 2008, during another major shakeup of regional health authority boards, Fitch, who was in opposition at the time, advocated for elected as well as appointed members, according to McKee.

    Fitch "said that it was a good mix" to have both "because it gives a better regional representation," McKee told the legislature during question period.

    "I want to know why his mind has changed so drastically today that now he wants to remove elected members from those boards?"

    Under the proposed Act Respecting the Regional Health Authorities introduced Tuesday, Horizon and Vitalité's new boards of directors would each consist of up to seven members — all appointed for a three-year term, with no elected representatives.

    Up until last summer, each board had 15 voting members — seven appointed and eight elected. Premier Blaine Higgs revoked the boards of both Horizon and Vitalité and appointed a single trustee for each, after a man died in a Fredericton emergency department waiting room. He also fired the Horizon CEO and replaced the minister of health at the time.

    Positions 'evolve,' says health minister

    In response to McKee, Fitch countered, "If we didn't review our positions and sometimes change our minds, then the opposition would say we're stuck in the mud, that we're not moving forward, that we can't get out of our own way."

    "When we see a problem, when we see an issue, we're ready to change it," he said, citing as an example that referrals for blood work will again be available through the online health service eVisitNB after being dropped last month.

    Outside the legislature, Fitch accused the Liberals of trying to score political points and suggested to reporters his 2008 comments about regional health authority boards might have been taken out of context, or even about "something else."

    But he reiterated positions on issues can change over time.

    "We're going with the appointed boards for the [regional health authorities] because we feel again that we need to be nimble, we need to be reactive, we need to be streamlined and making the decisions, the right decisions for health care," he told reporters.

    Asked whether the proposed system will be more nimble when it includes the addition of a new health-system collaboration council, Fitch challenged the opposition's characterization of it as another layer of governance.

    The council, which would include the health minister and representatives from both regional health authorities, is "formalizing some of the co-operation that's occurring now," he said.

    'Power grab' by premier, alleges Liberal MLA

    During resumed debate on the bill, Jacques LeBlanc, the Liberal MLA for Shediac–Beaubassin–Cap-Pelé, suggested Fitch was on thin ice in answering questions about his change in position on elected board members.

    "I know that the minister is going against his vision. It's not his vision, it's the vision of the premier," he alleged.

    Higgs "wants to control everything. He's on a power grab."

    LeBlanc noted there have been three ministers of health since Higgs took office in 2018. "I'm convinced that they're not the ones who are really in charge of the Department of Health."

    I think it's the first step towards merging those two regional health networks. And I believe that's a big mistake.
    - Jacques LeBlanc, Liberal MLA for Shediac-Beaubassin-Cap-Pelé

    He argued the proposed changes go against the principles of local governance reform and don't make any sense.

    "I think it's the first step towards merging those two regional health networks. And I believe that's a big mistake."

    The premier's office did not respond to a request for comment.

    Health care belongs to citizens

    Richard Losier, the Liberal MLA for Dieppe, told the legislature there are worldwide trends to have a more democratic approach to boards of directors.

    "The health-care system does not belong to a minister of health, a premier, a trustee, a CEO," he said. "It belongs to the citizens" who pay taxes and should have a say over governance.

    Losier noted health care represents more than 30 per cent of the global budget and affects everybody, from birth to death.

    "Why is the government afraid of those elected officials?"

    Health-care collaboration on the table as Atlantic premiers finally
    get in-person meeting

    Premiers discuss key issues, say they won't pursue permanent daylight
    saving time unless other regions do

    Higgs, Prince Edward Island Premier Dennis King and Newfoundland and
    Labrador Premier Andrew Furey. (Government of Nova Scotia)

    The four Atlantic premiers held their first in-person meeting since
    before the pandemic on Monday, where they discussed a regional
    approach to health care and other key regional issues.

    At the meeting, held in Halifax and chaired by Nova Scotia Premier Tim
    Houston, the premiers talked about a unified effort to recruit and
    retain health-care professionals and using potential "excesses" to
    assist patients in neighbouring provinces.

    New Brunswick Premier Blaine Higgs said the four provinces are not in
    competition with each other and will be working together to attract
    health-care workers to the region.

    Higgs also said they discussed how provinces can share existing
    resources. For example, if one area has an "excess" of some service,
    it could be used by patients from other provinces.

    "If we have excess capability and we can utilize that, let's not get
    hung up on where it is," Higgs said at a wrap-up briefing with the
    media following the Council of Atlantic Premiers meeting.

    He said the patient's home province would pay for the service, but the
    patient would have to travel to where the service is being offered.

    the Atlantic premiers since before the pandemic. (Robert Short/CBC)

    Houston said all four Atlantic provinces are experiencing similar
    challenges when it comes to health care.

    "It's safe to say that health care remains top of mind for each of our
    provinces and our populations. The shortage of health-care workers is
    not exclusive to Atlantic Canada, certainly not exclusive to Nova
    Scotia. It's felt everywhere."

    Making it easier for health-care workers to travel between provinces
    is part of the solution, he said.

    Currently, licensing criteria and fees structures are unique to each
    province and complicate mobility between provinces.

    Making it easier for health-care workers to travel between provinces
    means they could "move around and help each other out," Houston said.

    "We are one region and there's lots of family ties between them," he
    said. "And so those are the opportunities that I'm looking forward
    to."

    Houston said there was a "high degree of interest in harmonizing that stuff."
    Newfoundland Premier Andrew Furey said the ultimate goal would be for
    one licensing system for health-care professionals like doctors.
    (Government of Newfoundland and Labrador)

    Newfoundland and Labrador Premier Andrew Furey said "one of the
    lessons learned from COVID … [is] that health-care mobility is
    important."

    Furey, who has worked as a doctor around the world, said Canada is
    fortunate to have "a robust licensing system that could be applied
    blanket-statement to the whole country."

    "We are very well trained in Canada," he said. "Once you're licensed
    in any jurisdiction, there's no reason to think that you shouldn't be
    able to practice medicine somewhere else."

    Furey said the "exact model and instrument" still has to be
    determined, but that a single entity controlling the licensing of
    health-care professionals would be the goal.

    Health care was just one of the issues on the agenda. They also
    discussed a regional approach to economic recovery, cost of living,
    immigration and energy.
    Daylight saving time

    The premiers also talked about the movement in other areas to
    establish daylight saving time year-round.

    Prince Edward Island Premier Dennis King said islanders support the
    idea of getting rid of the twice-yearly time change — as long as
    they're not the only ones doing it.

    In the United States, one of the two chambers of Congress passed a
    bill that would make daylight time permanent instead of the current
    March-through-November schedule.

    The U.S. Senate passed the bill last week with support from both
    parties. If it becomes law, it would mean an extra hour of daylight in
    the evenings year-round.

    In Canada, Ontario has a law passed and ready to be implemented if New
    York and Quebec do the same.

    "I think if that were to happen, we would have to react collectively
    here in some way, shape or form," King said on Monday.

    "Essentially, we've all sort of decided that this doesn't make sense
    for one of us to do this. If we are to proceed with something, it
    would be … on a regional basis in response to what might be done in
    other places."

    Higgs said there's also interest in New Brunswick in eliminating the
    twice-yearly time change.

    But until other regions make a move, Higgs said, the Atlantic
    provinces won't pursue it.

    CEO cites hospitalizations and staff absences being 'stable' over past
    month, notes $24M operating deficit
    Bobbi-Jean MacKinnon · CBC News · Posted: Mar 16, 2022 7:11 PM AT |
    Last Updated: March 16
    Dr. France Desrosiers, president and chief executive officer of
    Vitalité Health Network, said services are gradually resuming.
    (Government of New Brunswick/YouTube)

    COVID-19 is "not over in hospitals," says the president and CEO of the
    Vitalité Health Network.

    Dr. France Desrosiers made the comments during an update to the board
    of directors Tuesday.

    New Brunswick lifted all of its COVID-19 restrictions Monday, but
    Vitalité remains at the red alert level due to the number of
    hospitalizations and absent health-care workers, Desrosiers said
    during the public meeting.

    "The number of hospitalizations has remained stable I would say over
    the last month. The number of absenteeism is also stable, but it is
    still present.

    "So as soon as we are able to resume service, we resume it. Sometimes,
    we have to revise downwards and we go back up as soon as possible
    again."

    As of Saturday, the most recent figures available, there were 99
    people with COVID-19 hospitalized across both the Vitalité and Horizon
    health networks, down from 103 on Friday, including three people aged
    19 or under.

    Thirteen people required intensive care, down from 14, and seven of
    them were on ventilators, unchanged.

    Of those in hospital, 46 were admitted for COVID-19, and 53 were
    initially admitted for something else when they tested positive for
    the virus. Of the 13 in an ICU, 11 are "for COVID" patients.

    The seven-day average of COVID-related hospitalizations increased to
    98 Saturday, from 96, while the seven-day average of COVID-related ICU
    bed occupancies was 13, up from 12.

    after testing positive for COVID-19. (Evan Mitsui/CBC)

    There were 513 health-care workers off Saturday after testing positive
    for COVID-19, down from 577. That includes 154 from Vitalité, 300 from
    Horizon and 59 from Extra-Mural and Ambulance New Brunswick.

    As of last Thursday, another 76 Vitalité health-care workers were
    isolating because they had been a close contact of a positive case.

    Hospital capacity provincewide was listed at 90 per cent, up from 89
    per cent on Friday, while ICU occupancy decreased to 71 per cent, from
    77 per cent.

    Vitalité and Horizon both announced last week that their hospitals and
    health-care facilities would remain at the red level, despite the
    province lifting all mandatory measures in the community.

    Vitalité is adjusting on a daily basis and services are gradually
    resuming, said Desrosiers.
    Pandemic-related costs for 2021-22 reach $26M

    But she noted the regional health authority recorded an operating
    deficit of $24 million for the first nine months of the fiscal year,
    largely due to additional expenses related to the pandemic.

    Desrosiers highlighted the challenges faced by human resources.

    "The network took into account that a significant number of
    health-care workers had to be taken off the job due to the virus at
    one time or another. The quick and efficient redeployment of resources
    has made it possible to provide essential services and to cope with
    the rapid increase in the number of hospitalized patients with
    COVID-19," she said.

    Pandemic-related costs between April 1 and Dec. 31, 2021, totalled
    $26.2 million, the board heard.

    "Through careful and responsible management of the pandemic's fifth
    wave, we have emerged from this crisis with the sense that we did what
    needed to be done," Desrosiers said in a statement.

    Blood test and radiography services are almost completely restored,
    with some backlog to be cleared up.

    Surgical services vary "from 75 to 80 per cent" of normal capacity,
    depending on the location, said Desrosiers.

    "Sometimes there are areas that are 100 per cent, others are 50 per
    cent. It really varies on a daily basis," she said.

    The province has passed the peak of the Omicron variant, according to
    Dr. Jennifer Russell, the province's chief medical officer of health.

    "Yes, we do have a continued level of hospitalizations, but we're
    managing," she told CBC on Monday.

    With the lifting of restrictions, some increases in hospitalizations

    But they won't be overwhelming, she said, citing modelling, which has

    A plan, a plan, do you believe?
    Is it me? Am I the only one hearing generalities, but no specifics?
    We have to note, just the other day, both Scheer and Trudeau promised
    big bucks in transfers for health care. So would it be prudent to
    assume "business as usual" in the health care file until the money
    fairy stops by? If the money fairy stops by?
    We must remember too, you need a referral from a GP (typically your
    family doctor) to see a mental health professional. So maybe the first
    order of business would be addressing the shortage of GPs?
    Whatever rabbit Mr Higgs pulls out of his hat, rebuilding a very
    broken system will take time and money.



    David Raymond Amos
    Reply to @Terry Tibbs: Its all just talk Higgs and his cohorts have
    yet to provide me with a Health Care Card However 11 years ago the
    liberals had no problem whatsoever squandering precious health care
    resources by falsely imprisoning a political opponent in a mental ward
    for the benefit of the conservative buddies Greg Thompson and Carl
    Urquhart. Methinks the truly funny part of it all is that the shrinks
    never got paid for their malicious services and now they try hard to
    pretend it never happened and don't know who I am even though they
    know I have the RCMP's documents with the doctor's signature N'esy

    Reply to @David Raymond Amos:
    things are really messed up in your alternative universe. If you were
    placed in a mental facility then it was most certainly for just cause.
    This is not done randomly. Furthermore, the physicians who attempted
    to treat you were certainly paid by Medicare and if you think doctors
    remember every single patient and document they may have signed while
    on call or otherwise then i would suggest that you treatment was
    unsuccessful.

    Hard to say. Both major applicants for the top federal job have

    Indeed those suffering from mental health problems need more help so
    they can become productive members of society. If someone has a broken
    leg, we don't write them off for life, we fix the leg. Why do people
    not understand that mental health is the same as any part of the body,
    fixable. When placed under immense stress and strain, it too can break
    and because it's the hard rive of the body, it's essential we have the
    best treatment for it. We also need to ban marijuana and make sure New
    Brunswick is a drug free zone so that fewer people end up with mental
    health issues that marijuana and other drugs are known to cause, and
    so that more money is then available for those who have mental health
    issues not self inflicted by drugs. It's an outrage that we are
    subsidizing fancy stores for marijuana drug users while mental health
    service suffers.

    Dalhousie's walk-in clinic remains closed without definitive reopening date

    Region's only walk-in clinic has been closed for over a month
    Alexandre Silberman · CBC News · Posted: Mar 04, 2022 7:00 AM AT

    hospital with 100 beds. (Alexandre Silberman/CBC)

    The Restigouche region's only walk-in clinic will not reopen this week
    as expected.

    The clinic at the St. Joseph Community Health Centre in Dalhousie
    closed its doors at the end of January in response to a staffing
    shortage. At the time, the Vitalité Health Network said the temporary
    closure would only last a month.

    But this week, it remained closed with no clear timeline on if or when
    the clinic will start taking patients again.

    Dalhousie Mayor Normand Pelletier said residents without a primary
    care provider or facing long waits for an appointment don't know where
    to turn to.

    "They're extremely disappointed, they're scared," he said. "They don't
    know where they're going to go for medical help in Restigouche County
    anymore."

        Dalhousie residents demand improved doctor recruitment after
    clinic temporarily closes

    Residents held a protest last month calling on the health authority to
    improve recruitment of health care providers. At the time of the
    clinic's closure, only two out of six physician positions were filled
    – with one doctor on leave.

    The Vitalité Health Network has not announced a new reopening date.

    temporary closure of the walk-in clinic at the St. Joseph Community
    Health Centre. (Alexandre Silberman/CBC)

    Spokesperson Thomas Lizotte said all other services at the community
    health centre, including a collaborative practice and ambulatory
    services, remain available to patients.

    "Discussions are still ongoing with the Department of Health to ensure
    strategic alignment with the new Health Plan," Thomas wrote in an
    email.

    There are 4,200 patients with a regular primary care provider at the
    collaborative practice.

    In an interview last month, Jacques Duclos, vice-president of
    community services and mental health, said family physicians found the
    workload of the walk-in clinic "unsustainable" because it took away
    from the collaborative practice.

    He said discussions are focused on rethinking the primary care model,
    spurred by the province's new health plan and improvements to virtual
    care.

    WATCH / Closure of only walk-in clinic has aging community worried
    Dalhousie's only walk-in clinic closes amid 'major crisis' in staffing
    15 days ago
    Duration 3:03
    Residents are calling on the Vitalité Health Network to improve
    recruitment of doctors and nurses for the Restigouche region. 3:03

    Restigouche County has one of the province's oldest populations and is
    facing a significant shortage of 13 primary care providers. Without
    the clinic, residents have been waiting at the emergency room at the
    Campbellton Regional Hospital, or driving an hour south to Bathurst.

    Pelletier said town council and the regional service commission have
    heard no updates on recruitment since the demonstration. Now, he's
    requesting a meeting with Health Minister Dorothy Shepard to ask for
    increased control locally.

    "Probably we'd be better served under Horizon," he said.

    During the pandemic, the clinic had shifted to an appointment-only
    model. Patients could no longer just show up and instead needed to
    call in to get a spot.

    Loin de s'excuser, le premier ministre Higgs met au défi le Dr Ngola

    2021-06-08 | Mis à jour aujourd’hui à 12 h 59

    Le premier ministre du Nouveau-Brunswick Blaine Higgs a publiquement
    mis au défi le Dr Jean-Robert Ngola en lui demandant de l'autoriser à
    révéler des informations privées potentiellement incriminantes. Un
    geste qui n’est pas passé inaperçu par l’opposition, mardi.

    Le Dr Ngola faisait face, jusqu'à tout récemment, à des accusations
    pour avoir enfreint la loi sur les mesures d’urgence durant la
    pandémie. Ces accusations ont été abandonnées vendredi.

    Blaine Higgs, qui refuse toujours de s’excuser, dit maintenant détenir
    des informations possiblement compromettantes, mais qu’il ne peut
    divulguer en vertu de la Loi sur la protection de la vie privée.

    "J’ai de l’information qui n’a jamais été révélée publiquement",
    a-t-il lancé mardi.

        Le Dr Jean-Robert Ngola est-il réellement le patient zéro?

    Blaine Higgs demande au Dr Ngola de promettre de ne pas le poursuivre
    pour violation de la vie privée, ce qui lui permettrait de dévoiler
    l’information demeurée secrète jusqu’ici.
    Une attaque envers un citoyen racialisé, selon les avocats

    L'équipe de défense du Dr Ngola a vivement dénoncé les propos de
    Blaine Higgs. Elle se demande à quelles informations il fait
    référence.

    "Si M. Higgs a d’autres preuves, rien ne l'empêche de nous les envoyer
    à nous, les avocats du Dr Jean-Robert Ngola. De cette façon, Dr Ngola
    n’aura pas à renoncer à son droit à la vie privée comme le demande M.
    Higgs", écrivent dans une déclaration les avocats Christian Michaud et
    Joël Étienne.

    excuses du premier ministre envers son client.

    Ils rappellent que le médecin a fait l'objet de "l’enquête la plus
    complète à laquelle un citoyen ait jamais été confronté dans
    l'histoire du Nouveau-Brunswick" et qu'il a été entièrement disculpé
    vendredi.

    "Le premier ministre Higgs a utilisé son titre et son privilège
    parlementaire pour attaquer un citoyen racialisé et un homme
    innocent", déclarent-ils.

    Les avocats ont donné sept jours au premier ministre pour s'excuser à
    la suite de l'abandon des accusations. Ils envisagent des actions
    supplémentaires s'ils n'en obtiennent pas d'ici la fin de la semaine.
    À écouter :

    Inacceptable, dit l'opposition

    Les paroles du premier ministre ont été vivement dénoncées par
    l’opposition à Fredericton.

    Le chef du Parti vert du Nouveau-Brunswick, David Coon, a indiqué
    qu’il était "inacceptable" pour le premier ministre "d’avoir un enjeu
    personnellement avec un citoyen du Nouveau-Brunswick."

    Le député libéral de Moncton-Centre, Rob Mckee, a pour sa part ajouté
    qu’il était "inquiétant" que le premier ministre détienne de
    l’information personnelle liée au Dr Ngola.

    "Ça veut dire qu’il est en possession d’information privée que
    seulement le bureau du procureur devrait avoir, en ce qui concerne la
    poursuite publique contre le docteur, donc pourquoi est-ce que le
    premier ministre est en possession de ces informations", a-t-il
    demandé.

    "Ce n’est vraiment pas la façon dont un premier ministre devrait
    agir", a ajouté Rob Mckee.

    Blaine Higgs n’a pas voulu expliquer pourquoi il était en possession
    d’informations personnelles concernant le Dr Ngola.

    Our Canada Pension Plan
     Allan Scott’s daughter died this year at the age of 34 and When he
    inquired about her CPP he was told that because she was not married
    and had no children, the money now belonged to the government.  Nobody
    else was entitled to it.
     On Sunday, November 6, 2016, Scott wrote: “When the CPP was put in
    place by the government of the day in 1965 (under liberal Lester B.
    Pearson) it was meant to assist people that did not have a pension.
     Employees put in a percentage and the employer doubled the employee's
    input.  There is no money in the CPP from the government of Canada.
    For a fee from the pool the government was supposed make the pool
    grow.  We Canadians are getting less than half of what that pool
    should be paying out every month.  We are being cheated out of
    something that is legally ours, the government's.
     This should be investigated by the Supreme Court.  Good information
    for our families and friends and it should be passed around until
    everyone has read it.
     Those who went before — one major thing wrong with the government's
    calculations of 'available CPP funds is they forgot to figure in the
    people who died before ever collecting CPP cheque.  Where did that
    money go?
     Also, ponder these additional points:
     ●The math: remember, not only did you and I contribute to CPP but
    your employer did too. It totalled 15% of your income before taxes so
    if you averaged only $30,000 during your working life of, let’s say of
    45 years, that's $202,500.  Read that again. The government paid
    nothing.
     ●Interest on the month you and your employer sent to the government
    was to ensure you would get a retirement cheque from that money you
    “invested” (not the government).  If you calculate the future invested
    value of $4,500 a year (yours and your employer's contribution) at a
    simple 5% interest, after 49 years of working you'd have $892,919.98.
     ●The scheme: if you took out only 3% per year, you'd receive
    $26,78760 per year and it would last more than 30 years or until
    you're 95, if you retire at age 65), and that's with no interest paid
    on that final amount on deposit!
     ● If you bought an annuity and it paid 4% per year, you'd have a
    life-time income of $2,976.40 per month.  Those in Ottawa have pulled
    off a bigger Ponzi scheme than Bernie Madoff ever did!  They call CPP
    an “entitlement” even though most of us have been paying for it all
    our working lives.  Now that it’s time for us to collect, the
    government is running out of money!  Why does the government treat the
    fund as its general piggy bank?
     The government is now calling CPP payouts an “entitlement,” but we
    paid aid cash for our CPP and just because the government “borrowed”
    it for other “programs doesn't make our benefits some kind of charity
    or handout!
     Think about the entitlements of senators!  We pay for their health
    care, outrageous
    retirement packages, 67 yearly holidays, three weeks' paid vacation
    and an unlimited number of paid sick days. Now that's welfare.  Yet,
    they have the gall to call our CPP retirement payments entitlements.
     The latest estimate (as perGlobal news) is that it will cost us
    $600-million to bring in 25,000 refugees.  The government (according
    to the Public Accounts Office) is already $5-billion in the hole.  How
    much more will they take from our CPP to cover that expense?  Former
    Immigration Minister, John Mccallum stated in a Global TV interview,
    that he would present his plan to Cabinet shortly, but he could not be
    pinned down as to cost.  Will they write a blank cheque on our CPP
    account? The new philosophy is, refugees first, Canadians last.
     One final thought on this.  The military pays into CPP as everyone
    else does.  Yet, when it comes time to draw on this “entitlement” an
    amount similar to CPP is witheld from their military pension.     Who
    stands on guard for them?  Sad isn't it?  Get used to it as 99% of us
    won’t send this on.

    N.B. receiving less than nothing on softwood pulpwood after Crown
    timber royalty changes

    Timber royalties in New Brunswick increased in August but with one
    notable exception
    Robert Jones · CBC News · Posted: Sep 23, 2022 8:00 AM AT | Last
    Updated: 11 hours ago
    A stump from a recently cut spruce tree in Charlotte County. On Crown
    land, New Brunswick has cut royalties on softwood pulp so low the wood
    has become cheaper than free to companies that cut it. (Robert
    Jones/CBC)

    The New Brunswick government reset timber royalties as promised last
    month but not all charges to forest companies went up as the province
    has been suggesting, including to MLAs last week.

    In one case, royalties levied for cutting softwood pulpwood on Crown
    land have been slashed to levels so low the wood is now effectively
    being made available for less than free to companies that cut it.

    Liberal finance critic René Legacy said that is a surprise to him,
    especially since MLAs on the legislature's public accounts committee
    put questions about timber royalties to the Department of Natural
    Resources and Energy Development just last week.

    "We were in committee asking questions and there was no indication
    this was happening," said Legacy.
    René Legacy, the Liberal MLA for Bathurst West-Beresford and the
    party's finance critic, says he is surprised government forestry
    officials did not disclose during their appearance before MLAs last
    week that softwood pulpwood timber royalty rates have been cut.
    (Jacques Poitras/CBC)

    "We never seem to get the complete picture."

    According to new regulations filed Aug. 30, the province reset what it
    charges forest companies to cut trees in publicly owned forests. Most
    royalty rates on most types of wood have increased but with
    exceptions.

    Amounts the province charges forest companies for spruce, fir and jack
    pine pulpwood cut on Crown land dropped more than half in August from
    $7.59 to $3.40 per cubic metre.

        New Brunswick hikes Crown timber fees 30 per cent

        Higher prices for everyone selling wood to New Brunswick mills expected soon

    Other softwood species used for pulp, like red pine, also fell to
    $3.40 per cubic metre but from a previous level of $5.50.
    Royalty is now less than fee paid to companies

    A royalty of $3.40 is too low to generate net revenue for government
    because of a $3.90 fee the province is required to return to forest
    companies on every cubic metre of qualifying wood they cut on Crown
    land. That includes all pulpwood.

    The "licence management service fee" is listed in regulations as
    "compensation for forest management expenses" that companies incur
    looking after Crown forests on behalf of the province.

    Because the management fee owed by the province to companies on every
    cubic metre of softwood they cut for pulp is now 50 cents higher than
    what the province gets back in royalties, it has become a net loser on
    softwood pulp that companies take on Crown land.

    That amount varies annually but over the last five years companies
    have been cutting between 150,000 and 260,000 cubic metres of softwood
    pulpwood from Crown holdings.
    Most softwood pulpwood in New Brunswick ends up in J.D. Irving Ltd.
    mills, such as the company's Saint John pulp mill, after passing
    through JDI's chipping operation in Sussex. (Robert Jones/CBC)

    The cut in royalty charges on softwood pulp was not mentioned by
    government forestry officials last week when Legacy and Progressive
    Conservative MLA Ross Wetmore both asked questions about the subject
    at the public accounts committee.

    Chris Ward, assistant deputy minister of Natural Resources, told
    Wetmore simply that "higher timber royalty rates" in the province had
    taken effect.
    'Looks to me like a quid pro quo'

    Green Party Leader David Coon, who was also at the committee hearing,
    was also unaware that royalty rates on softwood pulp had been cut.

    He worries that will force private sellers of softwood pulp to lower
    their own prices or lead forest companies to bypass private sellers in
    favour of accessing more softwood pulp from Crown land.

        Surging lumber prices generate better prices for New Brunswick
    trees — in Maine

        N.B. fixes to wood pricing system not enough to satisfy U.S.

    "It's dreadful. It's another big impact on woodlot owners," said Coon,
    who wondered if it was done to quiet criticism among forestry
    companies about rates increasing on other types of timber.

    "It looks to me like a quid pro quo."

    Most softwood pulpwood in New Brunswick, including most of the
    softwood pulp cut on Crown land and by smaller woodlots, goes to J.D
    Irving Ltd.'s Sussex wood chipping facility.
    Natural Resources and Energy Development Minister Mike Holland
    announced in July timber royalties in New Brunswick would be
    increasing. There was no mention of decreases also happening. (Jacques
    Poitras/CBC)

    The company's vice-president of communications, Anne McInerney,
    referred questions about the royalty changes to the province.

    In a written statement, the department said softwood pulp is a small
    percentage of wood cut in New Brunswick and that prices paid to
    private sellers of softwood pulp are already depressed with the lower
    royalty rate following that trend, not leading it.

    "The softwood pulpwood market has been relatively weak and the
    Department of Natural Resources and Energy Development has seen
    significant volume of material either left in the woods during harvest
    operations or used instead as roundwood biomass," said the statement.

    "The Department expects this new rate to better reflect fair market
    value and result in better utilization of this resource."

    The department also said other higher-value wood with higher royalty
    rates are cut at the same time as softwood pulp,  earning more than
    enough so "the Crown is never losing money."

    >>
    >> Fredericton, New Brunswick, December 23, 2015
    >>
    >> PRESENT:        The Honourable Mr. Justice Bell
    >>
    >> BETWEEN:
    >>
    >> DAVID RAYMOND AMOS
    >>
    >> Plaintiff
    >>
    >> and
    >>
    >> HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN
    >>
    >> Defendant
    >>
    >> ORDER
    >>
    >> (Delivered orally from the Bench in Fredericton, New Brunswick, on
    >> December 14, 2015)
    >>
    >> The Plaintiff seeks an appeal de novo, by way of motion pursuant to
    >> the Federal Courts Rules (SOR/98-106), from an Order made on November
    >> 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,
    >> (now a Justice of the New Brunswick Court of Appeal).  In that letter
    >> 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
    >> or potential parties to be added. Those individuals who are known to
    >> me personally, include, but are not limited to the former Prime
    >> Minister of Canada, The Right Honourable Stephen Harper; former
    >> Attorney General of Canada and now a Justice of the Manitoba Court of
    >> Queen’s Bench, Vic Toews; former member of Parliament Rob Moore;
    >> former Director of Policing Services, the late Grant Garneau; former
    >> Chief of the Fredericton Police Force, Barry McKnight; former Staff
    >> Sergeant Danny Copp; my former colleagues on the New Brunswick Court
    >> of Appeal, Justices Bradley V. Green and Kathleen Quigg, and, retired
    >> Assistant Commissioner Wayne Lang of the Royal Canadian Mounted
    >> Police.
    >>
    >> In the circumstances, given the threat in 2004 to sue me in my
    >> personal capacity and my past and present relationship with many
    >> potential witnesses and/or potential parties to the litigation, I am
    >> of the view there would be a reasonable apprehension of bias should I
    >> hear this motion. See Justice de Grandpré’s dissenting judgment in
    >> Committee for Justice and Liberty et al v National Energy Board et al,
    >> [1978] 1 SCR 369 at p 394 for the applicable test regarding
    >> allegations of bias. In the circumstances, although neither party has
    >> requested I recuse myself, I consider it appropriate that I do so.
    >>
    >>
    >> AS A RESULT OF MY RECUSAL, THIS COURT ORDERS that the Administrator of
    >> the Court schedule another date for the hearing of the motion.  There
    >> is no order as to costs.

    >> candidate Alaina Lockhart and Conservative candidate Rob Moore.
    >> (Courtesy of Stephanie Coburn, Jennifer McKenzie/Facebook, Alaina
    >> Lockhart/Facebook, CBC) Candidates running in Fundy Royal are
    >> appealing to the middle class in the typically Tory-dominant riding,
    >> with a focus on jobs and the economy.
    >>
    >> The Conservatives have strong roots in the southern New Brunswick
    >> riding — this area has given its support to the Conservatives in every
    >> election for the past century, save for 1993, when Liberal Paul Zed
    >> won office.
    >>
    >> In 2011, Conservative incumbent Rob Moore captured nearly 60 per cent
    >> of the vote.
    >>
    >> Moore said he hopes the party's record, with its focus on the economy
    >> and direct benefits to people, will earn him another term in office.

    >>     AUDIO: Liberal candidate Alaina Lockhart

    >>     AUDIO: Conservative candidate Rob Moore
    >>
    >> The Tory incumbent pointed to programs, such as the Universal
    >> Childcare Benefit, as well as family income splitting and pension
    >> income splitting, that has left more money in the pockets of
    >> Canadians.
    >>
    >> But, he said, he has also delivered on bringing federal cash to his
    >> ridinng.
    >>
    >> Moore says the biggest question he's heard at the door is how the next
    >> government will move the regions's economy forward.
    >>
    >> He says the answer lies in TransCanada Corp.'s proposed Energy East
    >> pipeline.
    >>
    >> "The [Irving Oil] refinery is employing many people in our region,
    >> there's a lot of spinoff benefits, and if we can bring that resource
    >> from Alberta to New Brunswick to be refined and sold from our port,
    >> that is a great economic opportunity," said Moore.
    >> Liberals focus on seniors, middle class

    >>
    >> The Liberals are trying hard to knock off the Tories. Liberal Leader
    >> Justin Trudeau has already appeared in Sussex, the largest community
    >> in the riding.
    >>
    >> Liberal candidate Alaina Lockhart said she is trying to appeal her
    >> campaign to the middle class.
    >>
    >> "That's the majority of Fundy Royal," said Lockhart, who has owned
    >> Lockhart's Weddings and Special Occasions Inc. since 2004.
    >>
    >> "People working everyday to make ends meet and the fact that we have a
    >> national campaign focused on strengthening the middle class to put
    >> more money in their pockets to then stimulate the economy, I'm
    >> encouraged by that," she said.
    >>
    >> Lockhart says her party's focus on seniors through initiatives like
    >> affordable housing, strengthening the Canada Pension Plan and
    >> guaranteed income supplement would benefit the region.
    >>
    >> "They worked hard their whole lives and we need to make sure they have
    >> secure retirements," she said.
    >> Hopeful for change
    >>
    >> NDP candidate Jennifer McKenzie says she's sensing an eagerness for
    >> change in the large riding.
    >>
    >> McKenzie, an electrical engineer living in St. Martins, threw her name
    >> in after becoming "discouraged and disillusioned by the current
    >> government."
    >>
    >>     People want our youth back, we want to have reasons to stay here.
    >>
    >>     - NDP candidate Jennifer McKenzie
    >>
    >> The region has lost a lot of its youth because of the Harper
    >> government's lack of focus on the economy, she said.
    >>
    >> " be part of the economy and have jobs," she asid.
    >>
    >> "The current government's focus on the prairie provinces in the oil
    >> and gas industry left New Brunswick and the Atlantic provinces
    >> neglected, and we actually had a three year recession here."
    >>
    >> McKenzie says the NDP's focus on small business would better serve the
    >> area's economy.
    >>
    >> "Our agricultural industry should be flourishing, we have to make sure
    >> we protect the family farm, there's fishing, forestry, I'm proud of
    >> our tourism initiatives, so much is a good fit to the NDP," she said.
    >> Lost youth
    >> The proposed Energy East pipeline could add new jobs to the
    >> communities inside Fundy Royal, according to Conservative MP Rob
    >> Moore. (Dan Riedlhuber/Reuters)
    >>
    >> The proposed Energy East pipeline is popular in many parts of the
    >> southern New Brunswick riding, but the Green candidate said it is the
    >> wrong way to attract investment.
    >>
    >> Stephanie Coburn, the Green Party candidate for Fundy Royal, says the
    >> promise of 14,000 direct and indirect full-time jobs across Canada is
    >> "hugely exaggerated."
    >>
    >> "The pipeline is a bad idea for people locally and we heard about the
    >> pipeline spills in northern Alberta and Michigan, and that ... oil
    >> they hope to bring in through the pipeline is impossible to cleanup,"
    >> Coburn said.
    >>
    >> "It's a bad idea nationally because it's all going to be exported …
    >> And it's going to contribute so much to the greenhouse gases we're
    >> trying to avoid to the globe, and exacerbate global warming terribly."
    >>
    >> Coburn says she has heard encouragement for her party at the door, a
    >> big turnaround from when she first stepped into the political arena in
    >> 2010.
    >>
    >> "Now I feel I'm finally not talking into the wind as I have been a
    >> long time about environmental issues," said Coburn.
    >>
    >> "People are aware of the environmental problems we experience, and

    >> NLP founder & CEO Alan Miller to transition to new role; Charles
    >> Salter named successor
    >>
    >> Published on April 4, 2022
    >>
    >> WASHINGTON, D.C., April 4, 2022 — Alan C. Miller, a Pulitzer
    >> Prize-winning journalist who founded the News Literacy Project in 2008
    >> and who has led the organization for the past 14 years, will step down
    >> as CEO on June 30. NLP’s current President and Chief Operating
    >> Officer, Charles Salter, will become the education nonprofit’s CEO,
    >> effective July 1. Miller will stay with NLP on a full-time basis, with
    >> the title of founder, through NLP’s next fiscal year, which ends on
    >> June 30, 2023. In this capacity, Miller will continue to play a major
    >> fundraising role, serve as an adviser to Salter and remain a member of
    >> NLP’s board.
    >>
    >> The transition comes amid the increasingly urgent battle to reduce the
    >> harm from mis- and disinformation. NLP educates young people and
    >> adults to fight a proliferation of false information that threatens
    >> our public health and democracy, including misinformation about
    >> COVID-19, the results of the 2020 presidential election, Russia’s war
    >> in Ukraine, and other vital matters.
    >>
    >> “While our work remains more urgent than ever, I decided that the time
    >> was right for me to turn over the reins to Chuck,” Miller said. “Chuck
    >> has proven that he’s ready to lead NLP’s efforts to meet this
    >> challenge. He’ll become CEO just as we embark on an ambitious new

    CRA demands payment on scammed federal benefits — from the victim whose account was hacked

    Tax agency's website still vulnerable, 3 years after major security breach, expert says

    And as if that's not enough, that same department is forcing the Toronto man to clear his name over and over again. 

    The personal and financial information of thousands of taxpayers, including their bank account and social insurance numbers ended up in the wrong hands after the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) and other government service websites were hacked in the spring or summer of 2020.

    Since then, fraudsters have tried to access credit and benefits under Mounsey's name at least 18 times. 

    He's has had to deal with fraudulent credit card and bank account applications, auto-payments to a utility company —  and four EI claims plus a CERB claim totalling about $40,000. 

    The most frustrating part, he says, is dealing with the government's demands that he pay thousands of dollars in taxes and interest, related to those EI claims. 

    "They just keep asking for more and more money," Mounsey told Go Public. "I'm the victim here. This is their security protocol that failed, but I'm left to pick up all the pieces."

    WATCH | Fighting to clear his name:

    Toronto hacking victim ‘living a financial nightmare’

    Duration 2:25
    Three years after his CRA account was hacked, a Toronto man says he's been forced to clear his own record, despite government promises to help people in his position. He says fraudsters used his social insurance number to get federal benefits, and now he’s on the hook for thousands of dollars.

    Mounsey is a part of a class-action lawsuit, certified last year in federal court, that claims "operational failures" by the government allowed hackers to access the information.

    The government has not commented on the lawsuit, but has said the cyberattack relied on "credential stuffing"— using stolen IDs and passwords to access other websites and applications — and urged Canadians to avoid reusing passwords. Some saw this as an attempt to blame the leak on its victims. 

    According to court documents, hackers successfully logged in to at least 48,110 CRA accounts. They then changed the direct deposit banking information on 12,700 taxpayer accounts and fraudulently applied for CERB benefits. Mounsey is one of them.

    "At the end of the day, you have a Canadian, who's been victimized by a cyberattack," said Ritesh Kotak, a security analyst and a technology lawyer.

    "The fact that an individual has to go, and go through so many different hoops, deal with so many different agencies, and spend hundreds of hours to address this situation is just inappropriate."

    Mounsey first learned about the cyberattack in the summer of 2020, through his wife's friend, who had discovered her CRA account had been hacked.

    When he logged in, he noticed his direct deposit information had been changed. He signed up for a credit monitoring and fraud alert service and contacted Equifax, TransUnion, the CRA, and the Anti-Fraud Centre, asking for a flag to be put on his accounts. 

    CRA threatens legal action

    It took two and half years before the CRA officially notified Mounsey he was possibly a victim of the hack. By that time, he had been dealing with a flood of fraudulent activity. 

    A CRA letter dated Oct. 4, 2022, said "an unauthorized individual" had possibly accessed his account and changed his direct deposit information on May 27, 2020. It offered a five-year subscription to TransUnion's online credit alert system. Mounsey says he tried to sign up, but the link didn't work, plus he'd set up a credit fraud detection service himself years earlier.

    "When I received that letter [I thought] OK, this is an admission that yes, my account is compromised. So my thought process then is like, 'finally someone understands and I'm not going to be receiving notice that they're looking for money anymore. They want to support me,'" he said.

    But the letter didn't say anything about not coming after Mounsey for money and, under the terms and conditions on its website, the CRA says it's not responsible for damage to taxpayers related to "data security violations."

    Mounsey's optimism that he'd finally get help from the government quickly faded. In March 2023, the CRA sent another letter, demanding he pay $6,018.97 or face possible legal action for taxes and interest charges related to those fraudulent EI claims.

    "I was very upset… I think I've received maybe four different notices stating, 'Hey, you've got to give us money… and if you don't pay us in the next few months, we're going to start garnishing your wages.'

    "The same organization was talking to me out of two sides in their mouth." Mounsey said. 

    For months he's been trying to clear that up — bouncing between the CRA and Service Canada, working to get the paperwork one department wants to the other.

    But instead of working with him, Mounsey says the departments are making things harder. At one point, he says CRA closed his file because Service Canada took too long to cancel a tax slip.

    He had to start the process over again. All this despite Service Canada having acknowledged, in a letter sent late April, that fraudsters may have used Mounsey's personal information to submit those EI applications.

    Go Public asked both departments why they didn't work together to resolve Mounsey's issues. Service Canada responded, saying it and CRA are "two separate entities with different capabilities and responsibilities." 

    "Service Canada works closely with claimants to resolve these issues related to fraudulent EI applications as quickly as possible," it said in an email. 

    The CRA tells Go Public it can't comment on specific taxpayer situations because of confidentiality rules under the Income Tax Act.

    Generally, it says in "cases of a confirmed identity theft incident, the CRA will ensure that proper protection and corrective actions are taken thereby returning the taxpayer to a seamless interaction with the CRA."

    But Kotak, the security expert, says Mounsey's interaction has been anything but seamless. 

    "I deal with these victims all the time and it's heartbreaking," he said. "The toothpaste is out of the tube and to put it back is just not possible. Once your information has been compromised it is very hard to make somebody whole... it's very difficult, in some cases even impossible."

    'Confidence and security'

    The CRA says it has improved security on its website since the hacks, including adding mandatory multi-factor authentication and proactively revoking user IDs and passwords that may have been stolen elsewhere. "Canadians can use the CRA's online services with confidence and safety," it says. 

    But Tanya Janca, CEO and founder of the cybersecurity company We Hack Purple, says the site still lacks some basic security measures.

    A woman with long dark hair pulled back from her face faces the camera. She is swearing a blue top and there is a bookshelf in the background. Cybersecurity expert Tanya Janca says the CRA’s site still lacks basic protections and worries taxpayers’ data could be at risk. (Google Meet)

    For one, she says, it doesn't have security headers — a feature that configures users' browsers to use defence settings while on the website — and which are required under the federal government's security policy.

    When Go Public asked about the lack of headers, the CRA didn't respond. 

    She's also concerned about the site's terms and conditions, saying the federal department is waiving responsibility if accounts get hacked, since taxpayers don't have a choice about sharing their sensitive information with the agency.

    Those terms and conditions say there is a "remote possibility of data security violations," and that the CRA is "not responsible for any damages you may experience as a result."

    The CRA told Go Public that disclaimer "ensures that taxpayers understand their role in protecting their private information," adding such disclaimers are commonly found on all kinds of banking and government websites. 

    What's next?

    Almost three years after the cyberattack, Mounsey says his credit is messed up, and he worries about what he'll have to deal with next.

    "[I need to do] everything that I can do to make sure that they're not taking more money from me and to clear my name because no one else seems to be helping," he said.

    "I've worked with so many different people to try to rectify this, but I get different messaging from each organization … It would be great if they would talk to each other instead of putting all the onus on me… It's really been a nightmare."

    He's now working with Service Canada to get a new social insurance number, but says he's not sure how much that will help since he's still responsible for anything that happens with the old one.

    Judge slams CRA and Justice Department for 'egregious' conduct in epic
    Tax Court battle


    Decision likely to affect dozens of Canadians appealing gross
    negligence penalties from tax agency

    A tax Court judge has slammed the Canada Revenue Agency for failing to
    comply with pre-trial court rules and orders. (Chris Wattie/Reuters)

    A Tax Court judge has slammed the Canada Revenue Agency and the
    Justice Department for "egregious" conduct that threatened to deny
    three taxpayers the right to a fair trial in an epic battle over
    millions of dollars worth of tax penalties.

    In a scathing decision that could have widespread implications, Judge
    Patrick Boyle found the CRA committed an "intentional and deliberate"
    pattern of ignoring court rules to "frustrate" the right that all
    Canadians have to get a full picture of an opponent's case before
    heading to court.

    The three taxpayers — a Manitoba psychiatrist, an Ontario nurse and a
    B.C. Air Canada pilot — were appealing three million dollars' worth of
    gross negligence penalties levelled against them, for rejected returns
    filed through a pair of disgraced tax consultancy firms.

    But after years of pre-trial delays resulting from the CRA's repeated
    failure to comply with his orders, Boyle took the extraordinary
    measure of allowing the appeals without having a trial on the merits
    of the case this week, to "protect the integrity of the judicial
    process."

        Canada Revenue Agency accused of blaming victims as 'gross
    negligence' cases drag on

    "I find the [CRA's] egregious approach to pre-trial discovery in these
    appeals to prejudice all three appellants who have been denied," Boyle
    wrote in his ruling.

    "These abuses of the discovery process ... have caused considerable
    delay and expense to three Appellants in respect of their appeals.
    They have also led to an inefficient use of public resources financed
    by all Canadians."
    'With great power comes great responsibility'

    Boyle's decision is the latest chapter in a saga that has seen
    hundreds of Canadians slapped with gross negligence penalties after
    filing returns through DeMara Consulting and Fiscal Arbitrators.

    The principals of both companies were jailed for tax fraud for
    promoting schemes Boyle says "resemble in many respects the
    de-taxation practices of sovereign citizens, though with less of the
    non-fiscal cultish aspects."

    levelled gross negligence penalties against them in association with
    returns filed through a pair of disgraced tax consultancies. (Minichka

    According to court records, B.C.-based DeMara's scheme was called "the
    remedy" and essentially involved claiming personal expenditures and
    debts as expenses and capital losses for a non-existent business.

    Canada's Income Tax Act gives CRA the ability to levy penalties
    against Canadians who make false statements and omissions on their tax
    returns, either knowingly or under circumstances that amount to gross
    negligence.

    The penalties in the DeMara and Fiscal Arbitrators case have reached
    into the millions, leading to a huge backlog of appeals that have been
    making their way through tax court since 2013.

        Tax agency obtains 'jeopardy order' for debt from Downton
    Abbey-loving billionaire

    Jeff Pniowsky, the Winnipeg-based lawyer who represented all three
    plaintiffs, said fighting a decade-long court battle with the threat
    of financial ruin hanging over their heads has cost his clients "years
    of happiness."

    "This was fundamentally a case about justice. Justice for the
    taxpayers who had to endure years of gamesmanship and chicanery by one
    of Canada's most powerful institutions: the CRA," Pniowsky told the
    CBC.

    Pniowsky, who has four children, said Boyle's ruling reminded him of a
    line from one of his family's favourite superhero movies: Spiderman.

    "With great power comes great responsibility," he said.

    "It's clear from this case that the CRA and the Justice Department
    have lost sight of that common-sense principle."
    'Unprepared, unco-operative or untruthful'

    Boyle's detailed 53-page ruling goes through the history of the case,
    and the circumstances that led to each of the orders he found the CRA
    later ignored.

    The fight centred on pre-trial discovery, and the rights of the
    taxpayers to examine a CRA representative or "nominee" who was
    "knowledgeable" about their case.
    The CRA has the ability to levy gross negligence penalties against
    taxpayers who lie on their income tax forms. The penalties have been
    devastating for some. (Graeme Roy/The Canadian Press)

    The first person the agency put forward was "unaware of any criminal
    investigation and had not informed himself" about any involvement of
    the CRA's criminal investigators in the case.

    The second nominee was a lead criminal investigator who "did not even
    inform himself ... whether any investigation was undertaken of any of
    these three appellants."

    At one point, Boyle called the investigator "thoroughly unprepared,
    unco-operative or untruthful."

    The judge said the CRA and its lawyers twisted the words of an order
    that boiled down to a demand for the agency to hand over any documents
    relating to any investigations that touched on the three appellants.

    "I variously described this as 'outrageously misleading and
    inappropriate,''this might be contemptuous,' ... 'deeply, deeply
    disturbed,''highly inappropriate' and 'I don't think you were
    reasonably mistaken,'" Boyle wrote.

        It is an ex-reference: B.C. judge removes 'dead parrot' joke from
    class-action ruling

    The judge also zeroed in on the CRA's failure to tell the defence that
    the second page of a three-page "Investigation Abort Report" against
    one of the plaintiffs had gone missing. The report was handed over in
    the middle of hundreds of documents. The missing page explained why a
    criminal investigation was dropped.

    The CRA claimed it had no "specific obligation" to point out missing
    pages — a position Boyle found "shocking."

    "Courts do not consider discovery to be a game, and it is particularly
    disappointing when the Crown is the offending party," the judge said.

    He said the omission gave credence to the idea the CRA "is hiding
    something from them, from the Court and from Canadians about how these
    investigations have been conducted.
    'Stop, or I'll yell stop again!'

    The judge pointed out that the CRA is "represented by the Department
    of Justice which is essentially Canada's largest national law firm and
    employs a large number of tax litigation lawyers who are wholly
    familiar" with the court's rules.

    Boyle said making yet another order for compliance would be pointless.
    The judge compared his battle to get the CRA to comply with his orders
    to a skit by Monty Python, whose troupe members are seen here from
    left to right: John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Terry Jones, Graham
    Chapman, Michael Palin and Eric Idle. (PBS/Python (Monty) Pictures
    Ltd./The Associated Press)

    He was reminded of a skit by legendary English comedy troupe Monty Python.

    "To make such an order would conjure up memories of the Pythonesque
    skit of the British bobby of another era yelling at a scofflaw: 'Stop!
    Stop!—Stop, or I'll yell 'stop' again!'" the judge wrote.

    The three appeals were supposed to be the lead plaintiffs for a much
    larger group of appeals. The judge said those people will have to
    speak with their lawyers to determine how the ruling applies to them.

    Pniowsky says he believes the decision is the first of its kind
    against the CRA. He predicted fallout both in other DeMara and Fiscal
    Arbitrators cases and in the wider world of tax litigation.

    "Intoxicated with a sense of moral righteousness, the government
    apparently determined or acted like these Canadians were not worthy of
    basic procedural rights, thereby committing the same wrongs they
    accused the taxpayers of: gross neglect, wilful blindness and at times
    deceptive conduct," he said.

    Meteorites found in Canada cannot be removed from the country without permit

    'In Canada, all meteorites are considered Canadian cultural property'

    An American museum will have to navigate that law's intricacies should it try to buy portions of a meteorite believed to have landed in New Brunswick last month.

    A fireball ripped through the Earth's atmosphere on April 8 and landed somewhere in the province, prompting the Maine Mineral and Gem Museum to offer a $25,000 US reward for the first one-kilogram meteorite recovered.

    But Chris Herd, a professor at the University of Alberta and curator of its meteorite collection, said obtaining the asteroid fragments won't be as simple as making an offer.

    "In Canada, all meteorites are considered Canadian cultural property automatically through the Cultural Property Export and Import Act," he said in an interview.

    "Say an American comes in and finds (the meteorite,) they have to apply to export it from Canada. They may not actually take it out of Canada unless they have an approved export permit."

    The museum in Bethel, Maine, has openly expressed interest in obtaining some of the space debris if and when it's found. 

    Darryl Pitt, head of the museum's meteorite division, said doppler radar readings suggest the meteorite — which most likely originated from the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter — was likely scattered over the part of New Brunswick straddling Maine.

    'Could easily be worth their weight in gold'

    The museum's interest extends beyond just the first 1-kg meteorite; a news release said it will buy any additional specimens found.

    "Depending on the type of meteorite this is, specimens could easily be worth their weight in gold," Pitt said.

    Herd said meteorites can be identified by a dark brown or black outer glassy crust that resembles an eggshell, he said.

    "That's a telltale sign that it's come through the Earth's atmosphere from space," he said, noting they're usually dense and surprisingly heavy.

    The person who finds a whole or partial meteorite on public property must complete an export application that's reviewed by an expert examiner, said Herd, who is one of several such experts in Canada.

    "The expert examiner then might say, 'well, this is of potential outstanding significance and national importance,'" he said.

    "If the expert examiner says, 'Oh, I think this is significant, and important,' then (the Canadian Border Services) will recommend refusal of the export permit."

    The file then goes to a cultural property export review board, which can disagree with the expert examiner and let the meteorite be exported. Alternatively, it can impose a six-month embargo period during which Canadian institutions can offer to buy the meteorite for a fair market price, he said.

    Violators could face fines or prison time 

    Anyone taking a meteorite out of Canada without the requisite permit can face fines of up to $25,000, as much as five years in prison or both.

    Despite its open interest in purchasing the meteorite, Pitt said the Mineral and Gem Museum is well aware of the regulations it must follow to obtain any fragments that surface.

    "The museum should always do due diligence ... as to whether the meteorite was obtained legally before they actually acquire it," Herd said.

    "If it comes from outside of the U.S., as would be the case in this scenario, then they would need to … make sure that the person exported it legally from Canada."

    Pitt said the responsibility of obtaining an export permit lies with whoever finds a meteor. For its part, he said the museum would "immediately get in touch" with Herd to help broker a deal.

    "If Canada wants it, it's Canadian," he said. "I hope that we could arrive at an agreement with our Canadian friends so that a sample of it could come to the Maine Mineral and Gem Museum."

    Herd said he made a deal with an American dealer for a piece of the Grimsby meteorite that fell in southern Ontario's Niagara region in 2009.

    Since Canada is a vast country, Herd said thousands of meteorites may have fallen in remote places.

    "I don't think we would actually know how many of them are anywhere in Canada. But they are part of Canada's natural history. The law is there for a reason."

    Former Niagara area councillor facing 4 charges connected to truck convoy protests

    Harold Jonker turned himself into a police station in Grimsby, Ont., on April 29 and has since been released

    Former West Lincoln councillor Harold Jonker is facing several charges for his involvement with the 2022 truck convoy protests, police say.

    Niagara Regional Police Service (NRPS) said Jonker was arrested April 29, not far from West Lincoln township, after he turned himself in at a police station in Grimsby, Ont.

    Ottawa Police Service told CBC Hamilton in an email Jonker has been charged with two counts of counselling "an uncommitted indictable offence," one count of mischief/obstruct property and one count of intimidation by blocking or obstructing highway.

    Jonker was the Ward 2 councillor in West Lincoln before losing his seat by 180 votes to Joann Chechalk in the October 2022 municipal elections.

    While in office earlier last year, Jonker was suspended from the West Lincoln council for 30 days without pay due to his participation in the protests.

    In February, 2022 Jonker attended a council-related committee meeting virtually from Ottawa while occupying some streets around Parliament Hill.

    Jonker — who is also the operations manager at Jonker Trucking Inc. — had gone to Ottawa to participate in the convoy protest on Jan. 28, 2022. The former councillor said he was there to "support the movement for freedom and bringing the truth of the gospel."

    The action was determined by Ottawa police to be "unlawful" and led to a call by West Lincoln Integrity Commissioner John Mascarin for an investigation.

    After his arrest, in a video posted May 1 to a YouTube channel under the name of Tim Jonker, Jonker said he's had an "emotional week" after finding out Ottawa police had a warrant for his arrest.

    "We're concerned, this is not easy," he said.

    Niagara Const. Barry Ravenek told CBC Hamilton in an email that Ottawa police asked Niagara police for assistance on the case and confirmed Jonker arrived to 8 District station last weekend.

    He was then arrested, charged and released on an undertaking.

    He's expected to appear in an Ottawa courthouse on May 10, said Ravenek.

    A divisive councillor

    During his time in office, Jonker's actions in Ottawa caused divisions locally. 

    In a series of tweets on Feb. 11, 2022, Ward 3 councillor William Reilly said Jonker had missed several meetings and said he should consider resigning.

    "I call on [Jonker] to either resign his seat if he's going to con't to neglect his municipal responsibilities or to resume representing the residents of ward 2 at Council," he wrote.

    However, West Lincoln's former mayor, Dave Bylsma, supported Jonker.

    Bylsma shared a photo posing with Jonker and a truck last February. Bylsma was not re-elected in the municipal elections and was replaced with former Ward 3 councillor Cheryl Ganann.

    Ottawa police said numerous investigations related to the 2022 protests are still ongoing.

    "There are convoy-related investigations that have revealed other peripheral investigations or assisted police in identifying other/new suspects," police said in an email.

    The protests began in January 2022 calling for an end to all vaccine mandates and COVID-19 restrictions. Thousands joined the movement that clogged numerous downtown Ottawa streets for over three weeks before the federal government invoked the Emergencies Act for the first time in Canada's history. 

    Several protest organizers are also facing charges and are expected to face trial in September.

    Convoy organizer Chris Barber pleads not guilty to new criminal charge

    Charge relates to a TikTok video Barber posted in February 2022

    Correction:  A previous version of this story was unpublished on Monday shortly after it was posted because it contained incorrect information. The original story stated the accused pleaded guilty to a criminal charge, when in fact he pleaded not guilty. The reporter misheard the plea.


    Freedom Convoy organizer Chris Barber pleaded not guilty Monday to a new criminal charge for counselling others to disobey a court order in February 2022.

    The charge relates to an incident on Feb. 9, 2022 when Barber posted a TikTok video where he refers to a court injunction granted two days prior, which banned honking at all hours of the day in the city's downtown.

    "If you see a large vast majority of police coming toward your truck ... lock that door, crawl into that bunk. But before you do that, grab that horn switch and don't let go," Barber is heard saying in the social media video.

    "Let that f--king horn go no matter what time it is, and let it roll as long as possible until they're busting your f--king windows down."

    Court did say it can't cite the TikTok video as causing any violation of the injunction.

    Barber, joining by video call from his home in Saskatchewan, appeared in an Ottawa courtroom alongside fellow organizer Tamara Lich. Both have been released on bail under strict conditions.

    Together the two are co-accused of mischief, obstructing police and counselling others to commit mischief and intimidation.

    Both are expected to face trial in September.

    Horns were a warning for other drivers, says Barber

    Barber was previously questioned on the TikTok video during last November's Public Order Emergency Commission, which examined the government's use of the Emergency Act in response to last year's massive protest in Ottawa.

    He had told the commission how he had tried to urge truckers to stop honking out of respect for nearby residents.

    Barber said he was encouraging honking to "try and warn the other drivers" if police arrived to begin mass arrests, and mentioned he was trying to inform truck drivers "police needed to have a warrant" to search the bunk of a truck.

    Clarifications

    • This story has been updated to use more precise language to refer to who heard Barber’s testimony at the Public Order Emergency Commission.

    NDP gets help from democracy expert

    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.

    election taking place before October 19, 2021 would deprive them of

    West Lincoln Mayor Dave Bylsma, known for COVID-19 disinformation,
    asks a woman online if her vaccine changed her menstruation

    By Grant LaFlecheStandard Reporter
    Tue., May 18, 2021

    A Niagara mayor who has peddled pandemic disinformation is under fire
    after he went on Facebook to ask a woman if the COVID-19 vaccine
    impacted her menstruation.

    West Lincoln Mayor David Bylsma — who has suggested international
    images of body bags and hazmat suits were part of a ploy to instil
    fear and has been charged for speaking at an anti-lockdown rally —
    sent the message to Emily Spanton, a Niagara homeless outreach worker.

    A champion for a better future in Malpeque     

    Heath MacDonald and Justin Trudeau are the only team with a real plan
    to grow our economy, protect people’s health, protect a clean
    environment, and make life better for families right here in our
    community.

    While Erin O’Toole’s Conservatives are focused on going backward with
    cuts to vital services that families rely on, Liberals will keep
    moving forward with bold action to create good new jobs, invest in the
    middle class and the most vulnerable, and ensure that everyone has a
    real and fair chance at success.

    Together, we can elect a dedicated Liberal Member of Parliament to
    work with Justin Trudeau to build a better future for everyone.

    July t2
    Exactly 10 years ago today, at 1:07 PM, CFTA 107.9 began transmitting
    a test broadcast, as was required by Industry Canada and the CRTC. A
    few weeks later, we sent up a temporary studio in an old GMC van at
    the tower site, that allowed limited live shows until our studios in
    Victoria Court were up and running. Shortly after we signed on, this
    big sign appeared in East Amherst.

    Cumberland North pits high-profile Independent vs. former 7-term MP

    Newcomers for the PCs and NDP, meanwhile, hope to shake things up in
    border district
    Michael Gorman · CBC News · Posted: Aug 10, 2021 6:00 AM AT

    While some people see this as a two-person race, David Wightman and
    Lauren Skabar are hoping to change that.

    Running for the Progressive Conservatives, Wightman has had some
    catching up to do because of his late entry into the campaign.
    Election materials were late arriving, and while Smith-McCrossin and
    Casey signs pepper the district, Wightman only recently started
    putting his up.

    But he's hoping a platform that focuses on health care, along with
    community anger directed at the Liberals, will hold him in good stead.


    "I think the Liberals have had their turn to try and fix things, and I
    think they've only gotten worse," he said, pointing to the growing
    wait list of people looking for a family doctor.

    While he expresses interest in working on a variety of issues,
    Wightman said health care is top of mind for him as a stroke survivor
    and because his wife went through treatment for cancer. There are
    aspects of the system unique to that region that Wightman hopes to
    address.

    "One of the things I'd like to see is a better approach to how to get
    people to medical appointments that are travelling back and forth
    across the [New Brunswick] border," he said.
    A time to unite

    Skabar is the NDP candidate. Her father, Brian, was elected in the
    district in 2009 as part of the NDP's surge to power, but she said
    politics was in her blood long before that.

    Health care for the area is a major issue, said Skabar, given routine
    emergency department closures at community sites and difficulties
    getting enough nurses and doctors to the region.

    "Until we start incentivizing health-care professionals coming to
    places like Cumberland North and our smaller communities, we aren't
    going to see any improvements," she said.

    Nova Scotia Liberals promise vaccine passport system if re-elected

    ScotiaPass would be voluntary for individuals, businesses and other
    organizations
    Jean Laroche · CBC News · Posted: Aug 09, 2021 12:15 PM AT

    "Both Houston and Burrill were critical of Rankin dropping this idea
    in the midst of an election campaign.

    "I don't think it indicates the kind of grasp and soundness that we
    would look to see from a party that seeks to govern the province,"
    said Burrill.

    Houston said: "I'll just speak bluntly, our campaign is going very
    well and he's concerned heading into the last week of the campaign."

    >
    > Several months ago I started this campaign emphasizing the importance
    > of Cumberland County. Nova Scotia does start in Cumberland. Cumberland
    > is the Gateway for the Atlantic Cooridor and on average 50 million
    > dollars worth of goods travel through our Gateway. We may only have 3%
    > of the population of NS but we provide critical infrastructure for NS,
    > the Maritimes, Canada and the entire Eastern Seaboard.&nbsp;
    >
    > Never underestimate your value as citizens of Cumberland. We are
    > important and we will stand for our area of the province. It&rsquo;s
    > time for Cumberland to receive the respect we deserve and we will grow
    > and become all that we are meant to be.&nbsp;

    >>>>>>>>>
    >>>>>>>>> The Plaintiff seeks an appeal de novo, by way of motion pursuant

    >>>>>>>>> 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,
    >>>>>>>>> (now a Justice of the New Brunswick Court of Appeal).  In that
    >>>>>>>>> letter
    >>>>>>>>> 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.

    >>>>>>>>> Minister of Canada, The Right Honourable Stephen Harper; former
    >>>>>>>>> Attorney General of Canada and now a Justice of the Manitoba Court

    >>>>>>>>> In the circumstances, given the threat in 2004 to sue me in my
    >>>>>>>>> personal capacity and my past and present relationship with many
    >>>>>>>>> potential witnesses and/or potential parties to the litigation, I
    >>>>>>>>> am
    >>>>>>>>> of the view there would be a reasonable apprehension of bias

    >>>>>>>>> Prime Minister Chretien and the Liberal government changed its

    >>>>>>>>> to

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

    >>>>>>>>> chattering classes are too addled to understand is the deployment
    >>>>>>>>> of
    >>>>>>>>> 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
    >>>>>>>>> deployment of a Battle Group, nor a “war” make.
    >>>>>>>>>
    >>>>>>>>> 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
    >>>>>>>>> constitutional scholar Phillippe Legasse. What Parliament can do
    >>>>>>>>> is
    >>>>>>>>> remove “confidence” in The Crown’s Government in a “vote of
    >>>>>>>>> non-confidence.” That could not happen to the Chretien Government
    >>>>>>>>> regarding deployment to Afghanistan, and it won’t happen in this
    >>>>>>>>> instance with the conservative majority in The Commons regarding a
    >>>>>>>>> limited Canadian deployment to the Middle East.

    >>>>>>>>
    >>>>>>>> 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.

    >>>>>>>> decade ago would not lead a reasonable person to believe that he

    >>>>>>>> [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

    >>>>>>>> V.                 Conclusion

    >>>>>>>> dated January 25, 2016 and restoring the Prothonotary’s Order,

    >>>>> dgleg@nb.aibn.com
    >>>>> Published Thursday May 24th, 2007
    >>>>> Appeared on page A1
    >>>>> An RCMP security detail has been guarding Justice Minister and
    >>>>> Attorney General T.J. Burke because of threats made against him
    >>>>> recently.
    >>>>>
    >>>>> Burke, the Liberal MLA for Fredericton-Fort Nashwaaksis, wouldn't
    >>>>> explain the nature of the threats.
    >>>>>
    >>>>> "I have had a particular individual or individuals who have made
    >>>>> specific overtures about causing harm towards me," he told reporters
    >>>>> Wednesday.
    >>>>>
    >>>>> "The RCMP has provided security to me recently by accompanying me to a
    >>>>> couple of public functions where the individual is known to reside or
    >>>>> have family members in the area," said Burke. "It is nice to have some
    >>>>> added protection and that added comfort."
    >>>>>
    >>>>> The RCMP provides protection to the premier and MLAs with its VIP
    >>>>> security
    >>>>> unit.
    >>>>>
    >>>>> Burke didn't say when the threat was made but it's believed to have
    >>>>> been in recent weeks.
    >>>>>
    >>>>> "When a threat is posed to you and it is a credible threat, you have
    >>>>> to be cautious about where you go and who you are around," he said.
    >>>>> "But again, I am more concerned about my family as opposed to my own
    >>>>> personal safety."
    >>>>>
    >>>>> Burke said he doesn't feel any differently and he has not changed his
    >>>>> pattern of activity.
    >>>>>
    >>>>> "It doesn't bother me one bit," he said. "It makes my wife feel awful
    >>>>> nervous."
    >>>>>
    >>>>> Burke served in an elite American military unit before becoming a
    >>>>> lawyer and going into politics in New Brunswick.
    >>>>>
    >>>>> "(I) have taken my own precautions and what I have to do to ensure my
    >>>>> family's safety," he said. "I am a very cautious person in general due
    >>>>> to my background and training.
    >>>>>
    >>>>> "I am comfortable with defending myself or my family if it ever had to
    >>>>> happen."
    >>>>>
    >>>>> Burke said it is not uncommon for politicians to have security
    >>>>> concerns.
    >>>>>
    >>>>> "We do live unfortunately in an age and in a society now where threats
    >>>>> have to be taken pretty seriously," he said.
    >>>>>
    >>>>> Since the terrorism attacks in the United States on Sept. 11, 2001,
    >>>>> security in New Brunswick has been
    >>>>> beefed up.
    >>>>>
    >>>>> Metal detectors were recently installed in the legislature and all
    >>>>> visitors are screened.
    >>>>>
    >>>>> The position of attorney general is often referred to as the
    >>>>> province's "top cop."
    >>>>>
    >>>>> Burke said sometimes people do not differentiate between his role as
    >>>>> the manager of the justice system and the individual who actually
    >>>>> prosecutes them.
    >>>>>
    >>>>> "With the job sometimes comes threats," he said. "I have had numerous
    >>>>> threats since Day 1 in office."

    The RCMP at the crossroads

    As the storied police service turns 150, some communities are wondering if it’s time to pull the plug on the Mounties


     Allison Cake/CBC
     

    A fleet of vehicles for the fledgling Surrey Police Service gathers dust in a windowless room in a hidden warehouse.

    Parked side by side, the vehicles are all emblazoned with the SPS motto — Safer. Stronger. Together — and outfitted to hit the streets of the British Columbia city.

    They just can’t respond to any calls yet. For now, they — along with the fate of Canada’s newest police force — remain in the dark.

    “So we’re in this dilemma,” said Chief Constable Norm Lipinski, head of the Surrey Police.

    “I strongly believe we will be here to stay, but we do have some challenges and people obviously are concerned about the uncertainty.”

    That uncertainty is wrapped up in a battle between the city and the province.

    At the request of the former mayor, Lipinski was tasked with replacing the RCMP in Surrey, the province’s fastest growing city, and building a new police force from the ground up.

    But a new pro-RCMP mayor was elected last fall, putting the SPS and its hundreds of officers in limbo. The provincial government reviewed the situation and recommended sticking with the Surrey Police Service — it even offered to throw in funding.

    But Mayor Brenda Locke is undeterred.

    “We have a choice and we pick the RCMP,” she told a press conference last month.

    “I haven’t seen anything that would change our mind.”

    So for now, the officers Lipinski has helped to recruit and train as SPS officers show up to work in their SPS uniforms to take out RCMP vehicles.

    “Somebody’s going to be in charge,” he said. “So one police of jurisdiction, and that’s the RCMP. So they are in charge and we work for them, if you will.”

    A symbol under stress

    Surrey is just one of the communities questioning the value of their RCMP policing contracts as the Mounties celebrate 150 years of service today.

    From Grande Prairie in western Alberta to rural counties on the coast of Nova Scotia, conversations about shedding the red serge are multiplying.

    After years of tragedy, mismanagement and scandal, the very core of the RCMP’s mandate is under review — putting unprecedented pressure on an institution that is as much a symbol of Canada as it is a police service.

    “I think those discussions are healthy,” said RCMP Deputy Commissioner Dwayne McDonald, the top Mountie in British Columbia.

    “I think we as an organization need to learn from and evolve as a result of those decisions to make ourselves better.”

    The RCMP has gone through many changes since its start back on May 23, 1873, when it was called the North West Mounted Police. It changed its name to the RCMP and took on more federal responsibilities after the first World War, absorbing the Dominion Police.

    These days, the RCMP polices the North and still serves as the provincial police service under contract in most provinces, with the notable exceptions of Ontario and Quebec. It’s also the police force for about 150 municipalities.

    The RCMP is also still responsible for federal policing — investigating complex national and international crimes such as foreign interference, money laundering and cyber hacking.

    It’s a massive mandate spanning everything from traffic tickets to terrorist attacks.

    “I do believe it’s time to have a second look [at the RCMP’s mandate],” said Lipinski.

    “The question is, can an organization do everything? Can they do federal policing, national security and then do boots-on-the-ground policing? And that’s where the various municipal leaders have to make that decision and explore those options.”

    N.S. mass shooting leads to questions about RCMP model

    The recent inquiry into the mass shooting in Nova Scotia, which left 22 people dead in the spring of 2020, exposed cracks in the way Mounties do frontline policing.

    The problems identified in the 3,000-page final report — a lack of staffing, a lack of local knowledge, a lack of preparation, a lack of leadership — strike at the heart of what communities and provincial governments hire the force to do.

    “The future of the RCMP and of provincial policing requires focused re-evaluation,” says the report, which was released in March.

    One of the report’s key recommendations calls on the federal public safety minister to commission an independent review of the RCMP and to work with contract partners, such as the province of Nova Scotia, on examining the force’s approach to contract policing.

    Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino says he’s committed to reviewing the force

    “How it looks going forward, will very much be a function of the ongoing conversations that we’re having with provinces, territories, and municipalities,” he said.

    “Whatever path [communities] choose, we will be there to support them. And that is an approach that we will take right across the country.”

    McDonald said the RCMP’s source of strength is its national scope. He said the choice facing the Mounties should not be an “either-or” between contract policing and federal policing.

    “The knowledge, skills and expertise that we are able to bring to any one public safety issue, whether small in a rural area or internationally, I think that’s something that we shouldn’t shy away from, but that we should celebrate.”

    Lipinksi said the breadth of the RCMP’s mandate is part of its problem — that the institution is too slow to change tactics or respond to community concerns.

    “Part of the local accountability for us here in B.C is the oversight of conduct of police officers. To me, that’s transparency. To me, that’s accountability,” he said.

    He said his service could, for example, be wearing body-worn cameras by now. While the RCMP promised to bring them in back in 2020, it only began field-testing last week and is still months away from a national rollout.

    While Brian Sauvé, head of the RCMP union, agrees procurement can be a slog, he said contract policing is worth the cost.

    “I think everybody comes from the narrative that contract policing is not worthwhile, and I like to look at it from the reverse. Let’s talk about it from the positive,” he said.

    “Go do a ride-along, go visit a detachment … Whether we’re talking about fires, floods, emergency evacuations, occupations, protests, the ability for the RCMP or a provincial police service to deploy in massive numbers to an emerging event is something that can’t be overlooked.”

    ‘It’s still not a safe place’

    Karen Adams says there’s another good reason for communities to think about dropping the RCMP as their local police service: decades of bad behaviour.

    “I think the organization has become too large, too cumbersome to deal with all the situations it’s dealing with,” she said.

    Adams is a pivotal figure in the recent history of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. She was one of the first women ever to serve as a Mountie. She also helped to blow the whistle on one of its biggest scandals.

    Adams was among more than 2,300 women who took part in a historic class action lawsuit against the RCMP for sexual harassment and abuse.

    “Some Canadians will sit back and say, ‘Do you have much to celebrate?’” she said reflecting on the RCMP’s 150th anniversary.

    “I still believe that women are being harassed in the [RCMP] workplace. That it’s still not a safe place, that they’re still not opening their doors to a representation of what it is to be Canadian, and even those that are that do come in, I think I have a hard time staying.”

    Too big to succeed?

    According to Adams, the RCMP can only reform itself if it becomes smaller and more focused — and that means getting out of contract policing.

    “I think the organization has become too large, too cumbersome to deal with all the situations it’s dealing with,” she said.

    “In order for the RCMP to continue to exist, I totally believe that provinces and municipalities will have to have their own policing. And that the RCMP will be a federal policing agency, very similar to the FBI.”

    Since 2016, the federal government has paid out $125,266,500 to the claimants in the Merlo-Davidson settlement, named after lawsuit plaintiffs Janet Merlo and Linda Davidson. The settlement covered those who were sexually harassed while working for the RCMP during or after September 1974.

    Tasked with investigating the RCMP’s culture in the wake of that settlement, former Supreme Court justice Michel Bastarache released a report in 2020 saying the RCMP “tolerates misogynistic, racist and homophobic attitudes.”

    Bastarache’s report joins a shelf filled with other reports, written by other former judges who took a run at the RCMP’s culture and structure.

    Eli Sopow, a former RCMP civilian employee, has seen those reports and recommendations come and go. He spent two decades inside the force, including a turn as the RCMP’s director of “change management.”

    “You know, the commission on mass casualties was a big one, but there’s been so many commissions and look at it, it’s just not going anywhere,” he said.

    “The culture hasn’t changed. The structure, of course, hasn’t changed. The systems haven’t changed. When you talk about change and we talk about a sense of urgency and a sense of purpose, well, it seems to have no sense of urgency at the political level.”

    McDonald said the force is owning up to its mistakes. He pointed to the RCMP setting up a new reform and modernization directorate this month that will, among other things, look at the recommendations of the Mass Casualty Commission.

    “We’ve taken our hits, I would say, in certain respects, but I think the RCMP is showing a willingness to learn from that,” he said.

    “I think in fairness, maybe we don’t always get a fair shake, so to speak, [on] how willing we are to change.”

    Costly decision

    As Surrey is learning, the debate isn’t just about whether to keep the Mounties. It’s about money as well.

    The provinces and territories pay the bulk of municipalities’ policing contracts — about 70 per cent — while the federal government covers the rest.

    The cost of municipal RCMP contracts is based on a number of different cost-sharing scenarios linked to a community’s size and the date it first signed a policing agreement with the RCMP.

    McDonald said the way to improve the RCMP’s relationship with the communities it serves isn’t to terminate the contracts but rather to give communities more freedom to tinker with their terms.

    “I think there needs to be even greater flexibility, when we talk about governance and accountability structures, that can be utilized by the community to ensure that their needs are being met,” he said.

    “I think if we put our focus on there, we can continue to serve Canadians across the spectrum with exceptional levels of policing.”

    Whatever the future holds for the RCMP after 150 years of service, its role in keeping Canada safe is likely to change.

    When asked if the RCMP is the right fit for every community it currently serves, Sauvé paused before answering.

    “I don’t know. Honestly, I don’t know,” he said.

    The union head said he welcomes the police reviews that are popping up across the country.

    “That’s an opportunity for us to bring forward the excellent work that gets done day in, day out by every member across the country.

    “Is there a community out there that might do some form of review and come to a different conclusion? Possibly.”

    Law unclear on question of parental rights under Policy 713, says law professor

    Elsewhere in Maritimes, age a factor in whether parents must be told kids are using different names, pronouns

    But whether parents have a legal right to be told their children are using different names or pronouns at school isn't clear, says Wayne MacKay, professor emeritus at the Schulich School of Law.

    "The whole area is a relatively newer one, of gender identity, and there isn't much in the way of any actual case law or guidance,"  MacKay told Information Morning Fredericton

    "There's certainly no Supreme Court of Canada cases, and very few, if any, cases at all in Canada, or even in other places such as the United States."

    The debate over a parent's right to know arose with the New Brunswick government's plan to review Policy 713, an education policy that grants certain protections to students who identify as LGBTQ. 

    Education Minister Bill Hogan has said the review is being done in response to hundreds of complaints and questions from parents, although the actual number of complaints received remains unknown.

    After several demonstrations against such a review — by students, parents and teachers — Progressive Conservative Premier Blaine Higgs promised not to repeal the policy in its entirety, but he has defended the need to reconsider certain sections.

    Of particular concern to Higgs and some critics is that Policy 713, which was implemented in 2020, says a principal needs a student's consent to tell parents the student is informally using a different name or pronoun.

    Supporters of Policy 713 said changing the consent provisions might endanger students who come from less supportive families.

    MacKay said it's too early to say whether supporters of the policy or its critics are legally correct.

    "I guess the real answer to that is it's not fully known at this point," he said. 

    Each side has a point

    MacKay said he thinks New Brunswick is lucky to have a document such as Policy 713 to focus on this issue, but it does not necessarily provide clarity.

    He pointed out that the Education Act in New Brunswick gives the parent the "right to reasonable consultation" generally,  which could include such a situation as a student changing their pronouns, but might not.

    "Parents are seen as having some rights with regard to their children on things like religion and those kinds of things," said MacKay. "So in general, there are some rights. This specific one is not so clear."

    MacKay said the use of a gender pronoun or gender identity that would be "less traditional" may expose the student to bullying or negative consequences that a parent may want to know about.

    On the other hand, some families would not be supportive of a child's preferences, so giving the information to the parent could expose the child to harm.

    From a legal perspective, the age of the student could also be a factor, he said.

    MacKay thinks the argument for a student's rights in this matter is stronger for those 14 or older, with the potential for a sliding scale.

    "It may not still mandate parental consent because the overall rule is the best interest of the child," said MacKay. "So you don't want to expose the child to risk by contacting the parents on this but on the other hand, I think the issues are a bit much more difficult at the young age of the scale."

    When asked what other jurisdictions have done on the issue, MacKay said it varies, even within Canada.

    "Many do not have any direct policies on it," he said. "Some do like New Brunswick, but some don't. And most of them are dealing with it, but not necessarily in a consistent way."

    What neighbouring provinces do

    In Prince Edward Island, a document was issued by the Department of Education in 2021 that provides guidelines for respecting and accommodating gender identity and expression in school.

    It encourages students to be open with their parent or guardian, but only if safe to do so.

    "School staff welcome parental involvement and support with consent from the student and when confident the safety and well-being of the student is not at risk." 

    Nova Scotia issued a set of guidelines in 2014 about supporting transgender and gender non-conforming students. The guideline about disclosure to a parent is age-specific.

    'When a student requests that their preferred name, gender identity, and/or gender expression be used parental/guardian consent will be requested from grades primary to 6. From grades 7 to 12, if the student has capacity of consent, parental/guardian consent is not required."

    if you are a fully supportive partent that loves your child unconditionally you will not need to worry about the school letting you know because your child will already know you are safe person providing a safe space for them to be able to come to you to have open honest discusions about gender, sexuality,and anything else that is on your childs mind.

    Open and honest communication with your child about whatever is on their mind is key.

     
    Tom Smith
    If a child has mustered the courage to talk to a teacher ... someone they've only likely known for less than a year ... about something as personal as gender identity and names, but still hesitant to tell their parents, then there is probably a very good reason.

    So some kids are already uncomfortable talking to their parents about their sexuality. So those parents want to make sure they won't even be comfortable talking to the school, got it.

    Doesn't seem like a good way to parent.

    Inquest announced into death of former diplomat in Fredericton ER waiting room

    Donald Darrell Mesheau died waiting for care at the Dr. Everett Chalmers Regional Hospital last July

    Donald Darrell Mesheau is identified in a news release issued by the Department of Justice and Public Safety on Tuesday as the patient who died while waiting for care on July 12, 2022.

    The father of two and grandfather of one was about 78, according to his obituary.

    No details about the patient, including his name, or the circumstances surrounding his death have previously been made public.

    But witness John Staples told CBC the man, a senior, had been waiting alone in a wheelchair, in visible discomfort, for hours when he appeared to fall asleep. It was only during a routine check of people in the waiting room that a hospital employee realized the man had stopped breathing, Staples said.

    Mesheau's death prompted a major shakeup of New Brunswick's health-care leadership. Premier Blaine Higgs fired Horizon president and CEO John Dornan, dropped Dorothy Shephard as health minister, replacing her with Bruce Fitch, and removed the boards of both Horizon and Vitalité, installing a trustee for each health network instead.

    The inquest will be held May 29 through June 2 at the University of New Brunswick law School in Fredericton.

    The presiding coroner and a jury will publicly hear evidence from witnesses to determine the facts surrounding Mesheau's death. The jury will have an opportunity to make recommendations aimed at preventing deaths under similar circumstances.

    'Bright light' is missed

    Mesheau was "was a bright light wherever he went," according to his obituary. "His pockets were never without treats for any dog that came his way, or without a crossword puzzle to enjoy over coffee with friends."

    He is described as a world traveller and storyteller, an avid historian, lifelong learner and mentor.

    Mesheau acted in plays and musicals all his life and was learning how to play the ukulele for an upcoming theatrical performance at the time of his death.

    He was a diplomat in the Canadian foreign service posted in Canadian embassies in Rome and Tel Aviv, and was an executive civil servant in the Canadian Federal Immigration Department, assigned to offices in Buffalo, Ottawa, and Halifax, according to his obituary.

    He served in the Canadian naval officer training program, and on the boards of several charitable organizations.

    His family was his joy, it says. "We loved him and we will miss him."

    Working to improve flow, patient experience

    The Department of Health is aware the inquest has been called and will review the findings once it's concluded, said spokesperson Sean Hatchard.

    "Over the past year, there has been increased effort by the regional health authorities (RHAs) and all health-care partners to work together to address the challenges facing our system and to improve services for New Brunswickers," he said in an emailed statement.

    Horizon and Vitalité health networks are both working to "improve flow and the overall patient experience" in emergency departments, Hatchard said.

    "Initiatives include the introduction of patient monitors and mental health and addictions social workers to emergency departments and a patient flow program. The Department of Health supports those efforts."

    Asked for comment, Horizon spokesperson Kris McDavid replied, "Will reach back out if we have anything to add." Nothing was provided by the end of the work day.

    Horizon review leads to 8 recommendations

    Horizon has previously declined to comment on its internal review of Mesheau's death, which led to four "direct" recommendations and four "indirect" recommendations, which are defined as concerns "that would not have prevented the incident but are important for patient/staff safety."

    The findings have been communicated directly to the patient's family, and Horizon "has nothing further to add," Steve Savoie, administrative director and co-lead of emergency services, has said.

    Among the recommendations was to "identify and implement a strategy to ensure all waiting room patients are reassessed according to the [Canadian Triage and Acuity Scale] reassessment guidelines."

    Nurses were doing double duty

    The licensed practical nurses who were assigned to check on patients in the ER waiting room the night Mesheau died were also assigned to other tasks and "could not commit to regular checks," internal documents obtained by CBC News through a right-to-information request revealed.

    The nurse-to-patient ratio the day Mesheau died was "alarmingly high and unquestionably … unsafe," according to local representatives of the New Brunswick Nurses Union.

    There were 17 admitted patients in the ER and 29 registered patients in the waiting room, according to the 147 pages of Horizon Health Network documents.

    Savoie, then-regional director of medical device reprocessing and patient flow improvement, outlined to interim CEO Margaret Melanson issues with monitoring patients in the ER waiting room.

    "Due to short staff, ED staff will not be able to reassess and monitor patients at targeted interval times, causing risks if patients suddenly deteriorate," Savoie wrote.

    Large hospitals should have two triage nurses per shift, but often operate with only one, increasing the likelihood that patients will wait longer to be triaged during peak times. "Not knowing the reason why patients are waiting is a significant safety risk."

    The three other key recommendations from the Horizon review were to:

    • Develop a regional policy to establish a standardized process for the triage of a patient who arrives via Ambulance New Brunswick, including times of hospital overcrowding.
    • Create a standardized patient flow process to mitigate risk of health decline and facilitate [Canadian Triage and Acuity Scale] level 3 patients through the [emergency department] by enabling pre-investigation workup prior to seeing a health-care provider.
    • Establish a regional policy that identifies the criteria and process to facilitate transfer of non-urgent admitted patients who are being "boarded" in the emergency department until an inpatient bed becomes available during ER overcrowding.

    An inquest is a formal court proceeding that allows for the public presentation of all evidence relating to a death. The New Brunswick Coroner Service is an independent fact-finding agency that does not make any finding of legal responsibility.

    Johnston says no to public inquiry on foreign interference

    Prime Minister Trudeau said government will follow the recommendation and not call an inquiry

    David Johnston isn't recommending a public inquiry into foreign interference. Here's what he did recommend.

    Duration 1:29
    David Johnston says foreign interference is a 'real and growing threat' and more needs to be done. But the former governor general says that while a 'public process' is required, a separate 'formal' public inquiry isn't the way forward.
     David Johnston has recommended against calling a public inquiry into foreign interference in Canadian politics. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says the government will follow that recommendation.

    Johnston's decision comes after all opposition parties have called for an inquiry and after the government itself said it would support one — if Johnston recommended it.

    "When I began this process, I thought I would come to the same conclusion — that I would recommend a public inquiry," Johnston said in a news conference Tuesday.

    "While it would have been an easy choice, it would not be the correct one."

    Johnston, appointed by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau as a special rapporteur on foreign interference in March in response to the furor over Chinese government interference, has spent the last two months reviewing documents and interviewing policymakers.

    Johnston also defended his impartiality in response to attacks from Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre citing Johnston's relationship with the Trudeau family and the Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foundation.

    While he isn't recommending a public inquiry, Johnston said in his report he did find "serious shortcomings in the way intelligence is communicated and processed from security agencies through to government."

    Johnston said he'll continue his work as special rapporteur through to October by holding hearings to find ways to fix those shortcomings. He said he will produce a second report later this year. 

    "The public process should focus on strengthening Canada's capacity to detect, deter and counter foreign interference in our elections and the threat such interference represents to our democracy," Johnston said in his report tabled Tuesday.

    Johnston said he found no ethical fault with the way the federal government handled foreign interference.

    "I have found that the narrative that the government failed to act is not a fair conclusion based on the facts," Johnston said. "However, the machinery of government needs significant improvement to address the evolving threat of foreign interference."

    Johnston has asked the National Security and Intelligence Review Agency (NSIRA) — an independent government agency — and the National Security and Intelligence Committee of Parliamentarians (NSICOP), a joint parliamentary committee, to review his conclusions.


    Johnston's five conclusions: 

    • That foreign governments are attempting to influence political candidates and voters, and that more needs to be done combat these attempts
    • That much of the media reporting on foreign interference raised legitimate questions but did not have full context and as a result was misconstrued by journalists
    • That there are "serious" shortcomings in how security agencies relay information to the government and there's no evidence the prime minister or his minister knowingly failed to act on intelligence, advice and recommendations
    • That a process other than a public inquiry is required to examine foreign interference, including public hearings on the issues the report has identified
    • That the conclusions in his report should go to NSIRA and NSICOP for review, and that those bodies should report publicly if they reach different conclusions.

    Government won't call inquiry: Trudeau

    Trudeau said the government will follow Johnston's recommendations and will not call a public inquiry, despite the pressure from opposition parties.

    "I committed to listening very carefully and abiding by the recommendations that the former governor general made," Trudeau told a news conference Tuesday.

    "[Johnston] explained and justified his thought processes by it, and we will be following his recommendations."

    WATCH Trudeau says government 'will be following' David Johnston's recommendations 

    Trudeau ‘will be following’ recommendation to not hold foreign interference inquiry

    Duration 0:30
    Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said he will abide by the recommendation in former governor general David Johnston's report to not hold a public inquiry into foreign interference into Canadian politics despite ongoing calls for one from opposition leaders.

    Trudeau said he's sent letters to other party leaders offering to get them security clearances so that they can review the intelligence Johnston accessed in putting together the report.

    "I certainly hope that all party leaders will avail themselves of the opportunity to understand the facts of the situation as we continue important debates on how to best keep Canadians, our businesses, our research institutions and especially our democracy safe," Trudeau said.

    Trudeau acknowledged that he saw Johnston "a few times as a kid" and that he got to know him after entering politics, when Johnston was governor general, but said he has total confidence that Johnston can continue to work as special rapporteur.

    Attempts to intimidate and influence

    Citing unnamed national security sources, the Globe and Mail and Global News have reported on a range of influence and interference operations coming from Beijing, particularly during the 2019 and 2021 elections.

    They include attempts to intimidate and influence members of Parliament, funding political candidates and operating so-called "police stations" across Canada to intimidate dissidents.

    Johnston said that, while the threat of foreign interference is real and Ottawa should address it, he found much of the media reporting on the issue was "misconstrued" and devoid of context after he reviewed the relevant intelligence.

    Johnston was particularly critical of the person or people behind the national security leaks.

    "Any responsible intelligence professional knows how destructive and dangerous leaks can be," Johnston said. "It is a matter of urgency that all efforts be made to identify and hold the leaker(s) responsible. Malice cannot be ruled out."

    The RCMP is investigating the source or sources of the leaks.

    Johnston was also critical of how intelligence agencies, including the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) and the Communications Security Establishment (CSE), share intelligence with the federal government.

    "The materials are disseminated, but no one keeps track of who specifically received or read them," Johnston said.  "This means there can be intelligence that is 'sent' to various consumers, but it does not always actually get consumed."

    Johnston also found gaps in the ways agencies and federal government departments share information.

    He said the fact that Canada is seen as a target for foreign interference "is a sign of strength, not a sign of weakness.

    "Foreign adversaries see our free, open and democratic society, and seek to undermine it."

    Johnston says inquiry not best way forward

    All opposition parties have called for a public inquiry into foreign election interference. The Liberal government said it would call one if Johnston recommended it.

    A public inquiry would be able to hold public hearings, subpoena witnesses and produce a report. It would be led by a former judge.

    But Johnston said he thinks an inquiry isn't the best way to address foreign interference and problems with intelligence.

    "A person leading a Public Inquiry would be unlikely to learn more about who knew what, when, and what was done with [intelligence] than has been made available to me," Johnston said. 

    "Duplicating this effort would not be productive and would lead to delay in addressing the issues."

    Johnston added that the sensitivity of the intelligence would create difficulties for a public inquiry, and the fact that he found the government did not commit any wrongdoing weakens the case for an inquiry.

    "The failures I have found relate to substantial gaps in the communication and processing of intelligence information as opposed to the prime minister, ministers or senior officials ignoring intelligence or recommendations," Johnston said.

    "A further review of the specific media allegations through a public inquiry would not advance our ability to amend these arrangements and strengthen our institutional capacity to detect, deter and counter foreign interference."

    Rapporteur disputes media reports

    Johnston did not substantiate many of the allegations made in the media about Beijing's foreign interference.

    With respect to a Global News story that said the Chinese government gave $250,000 to 11 candidates in the 2019 federal election, Johnston said there is "limited" evidence the Chinese government intended to provide funding for seven Liberal and four Conservative candidates through a community organization and an unnamed Ontario Progressive Conservative MPP.

    He added there's no evidence Beijing followed through with the plan, or that the candidates, including the MPP, ever received any money. 

    A story by Global News, citing an unnamed national security source, said Liberal MP Han Dong advised an official at the Chinese consulate in Toronto to lengthen the detention of Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor, two Canadians the Chinese government had detained.

    "The allegation is false. Mr. Dong discussed the 'two Michaels' with a PRC official but did not suggest to the official that the PRC extend their detention," Johnston said.

    Johnston said there were "irregularities" involving the Toronto Chinese Consulate and Dong's nomination as the Liberal candidate in the Don Valley North riding, but he added he found no evidence Dong was aware of this.

    Trudeau on Tuesday did not rule out welcoming Dong back to the Liberal caucus.

    "The report by Mr. Johnston was fairly unequivocal that there were false allegations made against Mr. Dong," Trudeau said.

    "I look forward to having conversations with him. He decided to step away from caucus in order to clear his name. I will hear from him on what his thinking is going forward."

    Canada recently expelled a diplomat, Zhao Wei, after a national security source told the Globe and Mail he had been assigned to target Conservative MP Michael Chong and Chong's family in China.

    The government ordered CSIS to start sharing intelligence with parliamentarians threatened by foreign government following the story about Chong.

    Johnston said he found evidence that Chinese officials contemplated taking unspecified action against Chong and sought to build a profile on him, but there's no evidence they threatened either Chong or his family.

    Johnston also said there's evidence the Chinese government dislikes former Conservative MP Kenny Chiu, who has been a vocal critic of Beijing. While Johnston acknowledged misinformation on Chiu was spread, he said he didn't find evidence the Chinese government was the source.

    "Chinese-Canadian MPs, including Mr. Chiu, were and remain of particular interest to the PRC," he said.

    Johnston responds to Conservative attacks

    The Conservatives have been critical of Johnston's appointment as special rapporteur, pointing to his friendship with the Trudeau family and his former position as a member of the Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foundation.

    At the news conference, Johnston, who served as governor general from 2010 to 2017, defended his appointment. He said he went on five ski trips with the Trudeau family decades ago and that he sometimes drove the Trudeau children to their mother's home after the trips. 

    But Johnston said he's had no unofficial contact with Justin Trudeau since Trudeau became a member of Parliament in 2008.

    "Those are the facts with the so-called friendship, and the skiing," Johnston said.

    David Johnston speaks with reporters about the appearance of a conflict of interest in his role as special rapporteur on foreign interference. The Conservatives have criticized Johnston's appointment as special rapporteur, pointing to his friendship with the Trudeau family and his former position as a member of the Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foundation.

    Johnston said he got involved with the Trudeau Foundation because the organization provides scholarships and Johnston has had a long career in higher education. He said the foundation invited him to become a member following his term as governor general, and that he attended four Trudeau Foundation meetings. He said he donated to the foundation a few times.

    He said his impartiality and integrity have never been questioned over the course of his public service career. He said he finds the attacks "very troubling."

    "This kind of baseless set of accusations diminishes trust in our public institutions, and deters people who are publicly-minded, who are quite prepared to take on public service responsibilities," he said.

    "There's a chill on them and it's quite troubling."

    The Trudeau Foundation has been under fire over a 2016 donation from two businessmen allegedly linked to the Chinese government. The non-profit's board of directors and CEO announced their resignations last month, citing "the political climate surrounding a donation received by the Foundation in 2016."

    Poilievre continues attack on Johnston

    Poilievre was the only party leader to refuse to meet with Johnston in the lead-up to the report.

    Poilievre renewed his attacks on Johnston's impartiality Tuesday.

    "[Trudeau's] ski buddy, cottage neighbour, family friend and member of the Beijing-financed Trudeau Foundation came out and did exactly what I predicted — helped Trudeau cover up the influence by Beijing in our democracy," Poilievre told a news conference Tuesday.

    Conservative Party Leader Pierre Poilievre tells reporters in Quebec City he 'would not be silenced' after David Johnston announced he would not recommend holding a public inquiry on foreign interference and called on opposition leaders to join NSICOP.

    Poilievre called the report a "whitewash attempt" and said Johnston is in "a conflict of interest." He continued to call for a public inquiry into foreign interference

    "That's what I will deliver when I am prime minister. There will be a full public inquiry into this mess," Poilievre said.

    Poilievre said he would not participate in any of Johnston's public hearings and would not seek to join NSICOP in the wake of the report.

    NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh, whose party is in a confidence-and-supply agreement with the Liberal government, said he still wants a public inquiry and will raise the issue with Trudeau.

    "I'll be sitting down with the prime minister, making it very clear that I disagree with the finding of Mr. Johnston, that a public inquiry is necessary," Singh told a news conference.

    "And I'll make it clear to the prime minister that we're going to use all the tools we have at our disposal to push for one at the federal level."

    But Singh would not commit to pulling his support from the Liberals, which could trigger an election.

    "That's not a decision we're making today," Singh said.

    Singh said any election held now would be "under the cloud of suspicion of foreign interference."

    The Bloc Québécois also continued to insist on a public inquiry.

    "Holding a public and independent inquiry into Chinese interference is even more essential today," Alain Therrien, the Bloc's critic for democratic institutions, said in a French statement.

    "The special rapporteur jumps to conclusions that we cannot accept that Chinese interference would not have had an effect on the 2019 and 2021 elections, on the basis of information that he will keep secret, despite media revelations."

    A Nova Scotia senior lost his cottage in a tax sale — but had never missed a payment

    Nelson Miller hopes story becomes a cautionary lesson to register deeds

    Last February, Nelson Miller was confused when he got an electricity bill for his cottage. The 83-year-old rarely used his rural Nova Scotia cottage in winter. 

    "So I called [the utility]. And they said, 'The people that bought your property want you to pay the light bill,'" Miller recalled.

    "Pardon? What's going on? My property is not for sale."

    In an unfortunate series of events involving taxes and a decades-old unregistered deed, the Municipality of the District of St. Mary's had sold the land without his knowledge.

    In 1979, Miller bought two parcels of land on East Loon Lake, about 55 kilometres north of Sheet Harbour, N.S. He built a small cottage on the roughly 35,500 square-foot property.

    But Miller never registered his deed — something he realizes now he should have done at the time. However, Miller said it just wasn't a priority because it was a busy time as he and his late wife, Karen, both worked while raising their young children.

    "This wouldn't have happened if I'd have registered it," Miller said.

    'Part of heaven'

    Although Miller said he always knew there were two parcels on the property — a larger one beside the road where he built the family cottage and a smaller lakeside one — he paid taxes to St. Mary's municipality for both parcels under one account.

    Over the coming decades the Millers enjoyed their land and cottage, spending most weekends swimming, boating, being in the woods and eating home-cooked meals.

    "It was like part of heaven almost," Miller said with a quiet laugh.

    The cottage is sold

    Because Miller hadn't registered the deed, the municipality did not know he had purchased the land from the previous owner. In 2015, for the first time, the municipality started trying to collect taxes on the larger roadside parcel of land in a new account. But the tax bills went to a long-defunct post office box used by the previous owner. 

    Eventually the property was put up for a tax sale and bought by Luke and Christina Collings in June 2021.

    When the Collings drove out to get a look at the property before buying it, they were surprised to find a cottage on it — because the tax sale advertised the property as "vacant land."

    But the sale went through with no one coming forward. Luke said when they finally got a look at the cottage, it appeared "pretty tidy" with clothes, personal belongings, current mail — and the electricity was still connected.

    "That was our trigger. Those things all together, just didn't sit right and we knew something was up," Christina said in an interview alongside Luke from their home in Boylston, N.S., in Guysborough County.

    The Collings eventually connected with Miller.

    Although Miller was at first in "disbelief," Luke talked him through everything that had happened. When the Collings found out Miller had his original deed, and his wife Karen had died very recently, the couple knew they had to return the cottage.

    "I couldn't sleep at night knowing I'd stolen someone's property," Christina said. "It was the right thing to do. I mean, any decent human would have worked it out."

    When Luke said he wanted to return the cottage, Miller was "elated."

    "A lot of people … would have said 'no way, I bought it and I'm going to keep it,'" Miller said. "I owe him, big time."

    A woman has her back to the camera as she stands sihouetted in a photo print, which sits at the top of a pile of photos on a wooden table Karen Miller, Nelson's late wife, stands at the sink in an old photo at the Miller family cottage. (Nelson Miller)

    The Collings, Miller and the St. Mary's municipality all hired lawyers and eventually reached a legal settlement in May 2022.

    The municipality paid the Collings back the $28,893 they paid in the tax sale plus legal expenses and interest, while the Collings agreed to give up their interest to Miller and he signed a new deed. 

    Miller agreed to pay the remaining $2,272 in outstanding property taxes to the municipality. 

    The Collings feel strongly that St. Mary's should have done more, and triple-checked whether the taxes Miller was paying on the lakeside parcel might connect to the property next door.

    CBC asked St. Mary's if this case has changed their tax sale practices, but did not hear back by publication.

    Neighbour avoided tax sale

    But Dartmouth-based lawyer Matthew Moir of Weldon McInnis, who often deals with property matters, said it appears St. Mary's followed their legal responsibilities under the Municipal Government Act. Any searches the municipality would have done on the outstanding taxes would have never brought up Miller's name, Moir said.

    The property also had not yet been migrated from the province's original registry of deeds system into the new post-2005 land registry system, which Moir said might have caught the issue.

    Back at East Loon Lake, Miller said his neighbours have since used his experience as a cautionary tale and checked their own deeds and paperwork. 

    One neighbour luckily realized at the last minute their taxes hadn't been paid for three years — and caught the error before the land was put up in a tax sale.

    A cautionary tale, that in this rare case ended well.

    Really, though the Municipalities, just don't want to step up to fix the bureaucratic holes, and failing systems transfer of old to new documentation of titles, taxes, ownership of property.

    These holes are reported, but the error in the Municipalities liabilities, and responsibilities is lacking.

    Ongoing Lepreau maintenance outage is 5th since 2018 to go over budget

    N.B. Power told to get more 'realistic' about its nuclear planning and budgeting

    It's the fifth planned outage at the station since 2018 to hit delays and go over its budget. 

    The recurring problem is one that an outside review blames largely on optimism inside N.B. Power that maintenance work at the station will go according to plan — despite years of experience showing it rarely does.

    "We expect the station to reconnect to the grid later this week," wrote N.B. Power communications officer Dominique Couture in an email to CBC News about the current outage.

    It began in mid-April and was originally budgeted to last 22 days with another five days of "contingency" time if unexpected issues arose during planned work. 

    As of Tuesday, the plant had been down for 39 days.

    "Prior to reconnecting the station to the grid, it was identified that a mechanical seal on a pump was leaking and required replacement," wrote Couture.

    "The additional outage time is to ensure that we perform this task safely and with quality including required testing and adjustments to ensure the Station is safely returned to service."

    The shutdown was originally budgeted to cost $23 million. Although final costs won't be known for weeks, the price tag on delays is normally high.

    Previous planned outages that dragged on longer than expected in 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2022 cost N.B. Power a combined $202 million more than expected, worsening its already fragile finances.

    Utility's struggles linked to Lepreau maintenance problems

    A recent Price Waterhouse Coopers Canada review of N.B. Power operations found planned maintenance outages at Lepreau that went poorly have been a key contributor to the utility's financial struggles. 

    It blamed much of that on rosy expectations inside N.B. Power that fixing issues at the plant will go better in the future than it has in the past.

    A man in a suit and tie standing in a beige room with a TV behind him on the left. Jason Nouwens, N.B. Power’s director of regulatory and external affairs, told the utility's rate hearing last winter that 'improvements need to be made' in maintenance outages at Point Lepreau that have regularly been going over budget. (Graham Thompson/CBC News)

    "Outage plans are often developed based on the ideal state," said an early draft of the Price Waterhouse report that was entered at evidence at N.B. Power's recent rate hearing.

    According to the consultants, the utility needs to stop using "best case data" to develop budgets and plans for Lepreau outages and instead "include more realistic inputs and contingencies." 

    Asked about the recommendation during the rate hearing, Jason Nouwens, the station's director of regulatory and external affairs said N.B. Power itself has been coming to a similar conclusion.

    "We realize improvements need to be made," said Nouwens.

    "Gaps in the area for improvement that have been identified aligned with ones that we had already previously identified."

    Managers' projecions often overly optimistic

    Michael Daniels, an assistant professor at the University of British Columbia's Sauder School of Business, said overly optimistic projections by managers involved in large projects is a common issue that has been studied extensively.

    "It stems from this broader issue of what we call optimism bias," said Daniels.

    A man in a grey suit and striped tie. The background behind him is blurred. Michael Daniels is an assistant professor at the University of British Columbia's Sauder School of Business. He said projects that routinely go over budget and finish late are often planned by managers suffering from 'optimism bias.' (Submitted by Michael Daniels)

    He said research shows people generally "are quite overconfident in our own abilities" and tend to think about the "best-case scenarios" rather than realistic outcomes when tackling projects. 

    "We will underestimate costs, underestimate the amount of time it might take, we'll underestimate the degree of risk that there is," he said.

    Lepreau has suffered more than 800 lost production days in planned and unplanned outage events since an extensive refurbishment of the facility ended in 2012.  It's a cumulative amount of downtime N.B. Power originally projected would not be reached until at least 2034.

    More recent estimates about the plant's future performance not been much better.

    Daniels said from the outside seeing projects come in weeks late and millions overbudget on a regular basis might suggest the need for changes but that's not something always recognized by those involved.

    "Our brains naturally pull from our memory examples where things went really well in the past and we tend to sort of downplay, subconsciously anyway, all the mistakes," said Daniels. 

    "It's our brain telling us, hey, this has gone well in the past, and sort of forgetting about all the times it hasn't."

    Option 1)

    Sell or privatize NB Power like our neighbours in Nova Scotia did.

    Then we can enjoy 15% higher power rates like our neighbours in Nova Scotia do.

    Option 2)

    Stop the government meddling (impossible?) in the company.

    End corporate (Irving!) subsidies for electricity.

    Fredericton Mayor Kate Rogers says a proposed bill at the New Brunswick legislature could harm democracy and curb the autonomy of local councils if it becomes law.

    Rogers, city councillors and three organizations representing municipalities in New Brunswick are hitting back at Bill 45, proposed legislation that among other things would allow the minister of local government to repeal municipal bylaws.

    "It really feels like a slap in the face because it feels like we can make decisions and they can be overturned by the minister, they can be overturned by people who were not elected by the residents of our municipality," Rogers said.

    "When you give that kind of authority carte blanche to a minister to be able to go in and overturn decisions that are made by a municipality, yes, that's an erosion of democracy."

    On Tuesday night, Fredericton council voted to send a letter to Local Government and Local Governance Reform Minister Daniel Allain, taking issue with that provision, and a handful of others contained in Bill 45, the Local Governance Commission Act.

    The creation of an independent municipal commission was contained in Allain's white paper on local governance reform, released in 2021 as a road map for how his government planned to revamp local government in the province.

    The white paper said the commission would carry out tasks such as ruling on matters of conflict of interest, reviewing potential cost-sharing agreements between municipalities and examining boundary change requests.

    Allain introduced the Local Governance Commission Act in the legislature on May 9, and it passed second reading last Wednesday.

    'Unprecedented power' could go to minister, association says

    Fredericton city council isn't alone in its opposition to Bill 45.

    On Tuesday, the Union of Municipalities of New Brunswick, the Association of Francophone Municipalities of New Brunswick and the Cities of New Brunswick Association jointly issued a news release calling on the government to modify the provision giving the minister powers to repeal bylaws.

    "If adopted, this would be a significant erosion of municipal autonomy that would give unprecedented power to the minister," UMNB president Andrew Black said in the release.

    "Our members are concerned that this provision undermines the legitimate roles of councillors duly elected by their citizens."

    Leaders caught off guard

    According to the letter by Rogers, other problems with the proposed bill include vague language, such as that it gives the commission a mandate to "perform any functions assigned to it by the minister."

    Other concerns centre around privacy, with another provision that the commission may at any time require a member of council to provide the commission "any information relating to the affairs of the local government."

    Rogers said local government reform has resulted in the city conceding some authority to the regional service commission. However, she said she is fine with that as long as it promotes a regional approach to delivering services and building infrastructure.

    However, with Bill 45, Rogers said she and other municipal leaders feel they've been caught off guard by proposed rules that would undermine their autonomy.

    "We've been told that from the beginning, from the onset, with local governance reform [that] the devil will be in the details, and unfortunately the devil has been in some of the details and this is a case in point," Rogers said.

    Rogers said she hopes the bill doesn't go any further until local leaders' concerns are addressed.

    Fredericton council approves strip mall development that goes against municipal plan

    Ross Ventures development puts parking lot in the front of building, contrary to city's municipal plan

    The vote by council gives Ross Ventures the go-ahead to build the shopping centre on Two Nations Crossing with parking in the front of the building, rather than at the back, which is prescribed by the city's municipal plan for new developments.

    Coun. Cassandra LeBlanc spoke against the proposal for this reason, before ultimately voting against it, along with Councillor Margo Sheppard.

    "I disagree with this across our city and additionally, there's 118 additional parking spots being put into this development above and beyond the requirements of our bylaw," LeBlanc said.

    "So I will never support an application that is creating a giant parking lot and is just a very antiquated model of grocery stores."

    Ross Ventures says the proposed strip mall will house a grocery store, pharmacy, six commercial retail units and a drive-thru, with a total of 335 parking spaces between the building and Two Nations Crossing. The development will take up 6,178 square metres in area.

    Speaking about the proposal in front of councillors two weeks ago, Ross Ventures president Jeff Yerxa said his company was left with little choice but to put the parking lot at the front of the building.

    The first reason he gave was that the "large national tenants" he's dealing with dictate where parking should be, and to contest that could risk losing their business to other cities.

    "They have corporate standards that they don't want to divert from. They have a model, they know what works for them," Yerxa said.

    He also said poor ground quality at the front of the site would have made it expensive to remedy in order to put a building on top of it.

    Municipal plan has flexibility, says planner

    Fredericton's municipal plan sets out guidelines for how neighbourhoods, commercial districts and industrial areas should be developed.

    It calls for the creation of streetscapes that support walking and "enhance the public realm," and contains a provision that new developments be pedestrian-oriented by being located as close to the public street as possible, with parking at the back or rear of the building.

    That guideline contradicts the previous few decades of development, which saw commercial buildings set back a distance from the street, with large parking lots in between.

    Much of Prospect Street and Main Street exemplify that period of development, which the city is now trying to reverse.

    Speaking to reporters after Tuesday's meeting, city planning director Ken Forrest said the municipal plan is flexible, and not all of its prescriptions — such as putting parking at the back of buildings — can be followed.

    "The planned policy speaks to the fact that where appropriate, you know, we try and bring buildings up to the street," Forrest said.

    "But Two Nations Crossing is primarily a suburban environment, where there are significant power transmission lines in that area and those things just can't be overcome."

    Forrest also said he's not concerned about large corporations shaping how the city develops, adding there are some that have followed the guideline of building close to the street.

    "I think the major retailers are responding and generally moving in the right direction," Forrest said.

    "You can look at major North American retailers along Union Street and Main Street that have seen kind of what we're trying to accomplish, and they've supported that by making decisions to bring buildings tighter to the streets."

    "Would risk losing their business" is entirely the developer's problem. He's asking that people concede something for his benefit, no? It's all too common.

    A plan is always subject to changes. I think it is more appropriate to approve plans on an individual basis. I hardly think Main Street is a good example of city planning, with the mish mash of business, limited access, and ill-conceived traffic pattern.

    Municipalities Concerned about the Loss of Authority Under New Bill 

    Fredericton, N.B. – Municipalities across New Brunswick are concerned about the government’s introduction of Bill 45, the Local Governance Commission Act. The Association Francophone des Municipalités du Nouveau-Brunswick (AFMNB), the Cities of New Brunswick Association (CNBA), and the Union of Municipalities of New Brunswick (UMNB) have welcomed the introduction of Bill 45 but have serious concerns about certain elements of the bill, including proposed new powers that would allow the Minister of Local Government and Local Governance Reform to amend or repeal a municipal by-law. Together, our associations are calling on the government to modify the clause and protect the independence of local governments.  

    “If adopted, this would be a significant erosion of municipal autonomy that would give un-precented power to the minister,” said Andrew Black, President of UMNB. “Our members are concerned that this provision undermines the legitimate roles of councillors duly elected by their citizens,” added Black. 

    Bill 45, introduced last week, proposes the creation of the Local Government Commission that addresses some issues that municipalities have long asked for like code of conduct and conflicts of interest. However, also included in this bill, is the ability for the minister to repeal or amend any municipal by-law.  

    “It is critical that the government fix this section of the bill before it gets passed by the legislature,” said Adam Lordon, President of the Cities of New Brunswick Association. “This section of the bill muddies the water and could cause some serious delays on important developments in our cities and in municipalities across the province.”  

    The Local Governance Act already lays out the public process that municipalities must follow when creating their by-laws. The bill proposes that the minister could override a by-law of council that has already gone through the public process and make decision which is binding without any input from the community.   

    “One of the goals of local government reform was to empower communities and create strong and vibrant communities, this clause seems to contradict the goal of the reform which all municipal associations supported enthusiastically,” added Yvon Godin, President of the AFMNB. “We are united in our demand to see the province amend and clarify this section of the Act to ensure the autonomy of our communities.”

    N.B. ranks lowest in Canada for public-sector health spending per capita, data shows

    Picture the opposite for private-sector spending, new health council web page says

    The proportion of gross domestic product being spent on health was, however, higher in New Brunswick than the national average, the data shows.

    GDP, the total value of all goods and services produced within one year in a specific region, is "a recognized measure that can be a proxy for our ability to pay," said CEO Stéphane Robichaud. "And from that end we're in the top three in the country.

    "So it suggests that, you know, the main issue for us is not about necessarily just spending more, but it's about making sure we're getting more value out of what we're spending."

    About $5,500 per person in public sector spending

    The health council created the web page to give New Brunswickers a better understanding of health spending and how the province compares to other jurisdictions, said Robichaud.

    It's based on the latest available data (2020) from the national health expenditure tables published by the Canadian Health Information Institute.

    A total of $6.02 billion was spent on health in New Brunswick in 2020.

    That includes about $4.32 billion in public-sector spending by the provincial and federal governments or other government agencies, as well as private-sector spending by patients or their health insurance companies for medications or services, such as physiotherapy, dentistry and counselling.

    Per capita, that's $7,683, compared to the national average of $8,021. Hospitals ($2,141), medications ($1,138) and physicians ($903) were among the top areas of New Brunswick spending, the web page shows.

    For public-sector spending alone, New Brunswick ranked last in the country per capita at $5,513.

Stéphane Robichaud, CEO of the New Brunswick Health Council, said that before 2016, New Brunswick had a higher provincial sector per-capita health spending than the Canadian average. In 2020, New Brunswick spent less than the Canadian average, he said. (Ed Hunter/CBC)

    New Brunswick private-sector health spending per capita was $2,170, compared to the national average of $2,082, the web page shows.

    Medications accounted for the largest share at $815, or 37.5 per cent, which was higher than the Canadian average of $672, or 32.3 per cent. Newfoundland ranked highest for private-sector per capita spending on medications at $825, while Nova Scotia tied with New Brunswick at $815.

    Total health spending in New Brunswick represented 16 per cent of the province's GDP. Across Canada, the average was 13.8 per cent.

    Nova Scotia led the country at 18 per cent, followed by P.E.I. at 17 per cent, while Quebec tied with New Brunswick at 16 per cent.

    'Transformational change'

    Department of Health spokesperson Sean Hatchard said New Brunswick is making "significant investments" in health care.

    Nearly $3.6 billion has been set aside in the 2023-24 provincial budget, representing an increase of almost $345 million from the previous year, he said.

    "That 10.6 per cent increase from the 2022-23 budget is on par for the largest in more than two decades," Hatchard said in an emailed statement.

    Through the provincial health plan, New Brunswick is also making "transformational change to improve the delivery and access of services," he said, citing as an example an update to the New Brunswick drug plan, which has improved the affordability of prescription drug coverage for uninsured New Brunswickers, especially low-income earners.

    "New and innovative ideas are needed to solve the significant challenges we face in the delivery of care."

    Outcomes key

    Robichaud said data around health spending outcomes, such as increased access to primary care, or decreased wait times for surgeries, is difficult to come by.

    "We've been talking a lot about human resources — nurses, doctors — but to this day we don't have a good grasp of those levels of resources, how they compare provincially, how their times are being used," he said.

    The health council plans to update the web page with new components, such as human resources, as that data becomes available, Robichaud said.

    "That type of information is going to prove to be very valuable in understanding our current reality, but also in designing the types of plans and the models that would best serve our needs as we move forward," he said.

    Dear Mr. Amos:

    This will acknowledge receipt of a copy of your e-mail of December 29,
    2006 to Corporal Warren McBeath of the RCMP.

    Because of the nature of the allegations made in your message, I have
    taken the measure of forwarding a copy to Assistant Commissioner Steve
    Graham of the RCMP "J" Division in Fredericton.

    Sincerely,

    Dear Mr. Amos,

    Thank you for your follow up e-mail to me today. I was on days off over
    the holidays and returned to work this evening. Rest assured I was not
    ignoring or procrastinating to respond to your concerns.

    As your attachment sent today refers from Premier Graham, our position
    is clear on your dead calf issue: Our forensic labs do not process
    testing on animals in cases such as yours, they are referred to the
    Atlantic Veterinary College in Charlottetown who can provide these
    services. If you do not choose to utilize their expertise in this
    instance, then that is your decision and nothing more can be done.

    As for your other concerns regarding the US Government, false
    imprisonment and Federal Court Dates in the US, etc... it is clear
    that Federal authorities are aware of your concerns both in Canada and
    theUS. These issues do not fall into the purvue of Detachment policing
    in Petitcodiac, NB.

    It was indeed an interesting and informative conversation we had on
    December 23rd, and I wish you well in all of your future endeavors.

    Sincerely,

    Perhaps he and you buddies in Kings county should review what
    his/Irvings paper wrote about me four god damned years ago. You will
    find that article within a blog of chucky Leblanc's that he had Goggle
    delete. It is within an email that his editor sent to a reporter and I
    in the USA before I ran for a seat in Parliament again. Never forget
    my words are legally published int the USA according to its
    Consitution. Scotty editor sent her email to me in the USA and to a
    fellow reporter too. Whereas you are just a criminal lawer in New
    Brunswick I doubt that you have a licence to argue civil lawsuits in
    the USA. Perhaps you should find a lawyer now EH Ms. Menard? Why not
    ask the Irving's new sorta son in law who replaced Paul Zed (the

    Threat against Burke taken seriously

    By STEPHEN LLEWELLYN
    dgleg@nb.aibn.com
    Published Thursday May 24th, 2007
    Appeared on page A1
    An RCMP security detail has been guarding Justice Minister and
    Attorney General T.J. Burke because of threats made against him
    recently.

    Burke, the Liberal MLA for Fredericton-Fort Nashwaaksis, wouldn't
    explain the nature of the threats.

    "I have had a particular individual or individuals who have made
    specific overtures about causing harm towards me," he told reporters
    Wednesday.

    "The RCMP has provided security to me recently by accompanying me to a
    couple of public functions where the individual is known to reside or
    have family members in the area," said Burke. "It is nice to have some
    added protection and that added comfort."

    The RCMP provides protection to the premier and MLAs with its VIP security unit.

    Burke didn't say when the threat was made but it's believed to have
    been in recent weeks.

    "When a threat is posed to you and it is a credible threat, you have
    to be cautious about where you go and who you are around," he said.
    "But again, I am more concerned about my family as opposed to my own
    personal safety."

    Burke said he doesn't feel any differently and he has not changed his
    pattern of activity.

    "It doesn't bother me one bit," he said. "It makes my wife feel awful nervous."

    Burke served in an elite American military unit before becoming a
    lawyer and going into politics in New Brunswick.

    "(I) have taken my own precautions and what I have to do to ensure my
    family's safety," he said. "I am a very cautious person in general due
    to my background and training.

    "I am comfortable with defending myself or my family if it ever had to happen."

    Burke said it is not uncommon for politicians to have security concerns.

    "We do live unfortunately in an age and in a society now where threats
    have to be taken pretty seriously," he said.

    Since the terrorism attacks in the United States on Sept. 11, 2001,
    security in New Brunswick has been
    beefed up.

    Metal detectors were recently installed in the legislature and all
    visitors are screened.

    The position of attorney general is often referred to as the
    province's "top cop."

    Burke said sometimes people do not differentiate between his role as
    the manager of the justice system and the individual who actually
    prosecutes them.

    "With the job sometimes comes threats," he said. "I have had numerous
    threats since Day 1 in office."

    Burke said he hopes his First Nations heritage has nothing to do with it.

    "I think it is more of an issue where people get fixated on a matter
    and they believe you are personally responsible for assigning them
    their punishment or their sanction," he said.

    Is the threat from someone who was recently incarcerated?

    "I probably shouldn't answer that," he replied.

    Reporters asked when the threat would be over.

    "I don't think a threat ever passes once it has been made," said
    Burke. "You have to consider the credibility of the source."

    Bruce Fitch, former justice minister in the Conservative government,
    said "every now and again there would be e-mails that were not
    complimentary."

    "I did have a meeting with the RCMP who are in charge of the security
    of the MLAs and ministers," said Fitch.

    "They look at each and every situation."

    Fitch said he never had bodyguards assigned to him although former
    premier Bernard Lord and former health minister Elvy Robichaud did
    have extra security staff assigned on occasion.

    He said if any MLA felt threatened, he or she would discuss it with the RCMP.

    Government will work with New Brunswickers to build a five-year
    provincial health plan that supports a health-care system that is
    responsive to the needs of patients, providers, and communities now
    and into the future.

    Every New Brunswicker has the right to expect that their provincial
    health-care system will provide consistent and timely access to
    quality heath services. Even more importantly, they should be able to
    have faith that those services can be sustained well into the future.
    - Minister Shephard

    New Brunswickers are invited to participate in a virtual engagement
    process on the future of health care in New Brunswick which will
    inform the creation of the provincial health plan.

    All sessions will be held online using Zoom. The engagement tour
    schedule will be released in the coming weeks.

    All options on table as province looks to future of health care


    Privatization, user fees, increased access to abortion - Minister
    calls it a look at the whole picture

    CBC News · Posted: Jan 27, 2021 12:06 PM AT

    The Health Department released a policy paper Tuesday about the state
    of the province’s health-care system, titled “Striving for Dependable
    Public Health Care.” (Shutterstock / KieferPix)

    The province is set to undertake a major consultation process on the
    future of health care and it says everything is on the table.

    The Department of Health kick–started the consultations Tuesday by
    releasing a policy paper about the state of the province's health–care
    system titled "Striving for Dependable Public Health Care."

    The province will hold virtual town halls in about a dozen
    communities, including the six where the province had announced
    reductions in ER hours that they later walked back, and said "anyone
    interested in attending a virtual session will be able to register to
    attend."

    In an interview with Information Morning Fredericton, Health Minister
    Dorothy Shephard said she's looking forward to hearing from New
    Brunswickers about what they want from their health–care system.

    She promised all topics and potential reforms will be on the table if
    the public demands it, including more private services, user fees and
    increased access to abortion.

    "We have to look at the whole picture," said Shephard.

    "I'm not predetermining anything."
    Family doctors

    Shephard said she expects to hear a lot from New Brunswickers about
    primary care, including family doctors.

    "Ninety-five per cent of New Brunswickers have a family physician, but
    only 55 per cent of them can see one within five days," said Shephard.

    "We need to try with our medical society and our family physicians to
    find out how we can make sure that care is delivered more
    comprehensively and in a very timely fashion to keep people out of ERs
    and to keep people out of hospital."

    Information Morning - Fredericton12:36Health plan
    New Brunswick's Health Minister Dorothy Shephard wants public input on
    the state of health care in the province. 12:36

    The New Brunswick Medical Society said 2018 polling indicated 44,000
    New Brunswickers did not have access to a primary care doctor.

    Shephard said she understands the need to hire more nurses and
    doctors, but said every other jurisdiction is in the same position.

    While she wants to make New Brunswick a more attractive place for
    medical professionals, changing how services are delivered may be
    necessary.

    She said the aging population makes these consultations all the more important.

    "Twenty-six per cent of our population is going to be over the age of
    65 in five years," said Shephard.

    "The response needs to be to what their needs are at that point and so
    it needs to be evolving. I don't know that there are going to be that
    many more doctors available. So how do we utilize our medical
    professionals in the best way? What services can we shift with other
    medical professionals? Those are the challenges and the discussions we
    have to have at a community level and I think they're very ready for
    that conversation."
    Consultations during COVID

    The push to evaluate the province's health–care system comes as
    COVID-19 restrictions remain, with one zone in lockdown and another in
    the red phase of recovery.

    But Shephard said the review has already been delayed several times
    and can't be put off forever.

    "The challenges are there, they're going to remain there and our
    province has been without a real five year health–care plan for a year
    now," said Shephard.

    Dorothy Shephard said she’s looking forward to hearing from New
    Brunswickers about what they want from their health-care system. (Ed
    Hunter/CBC)

    "We need to be able to deliver a five year plan to the [Regional
    Health Authorities] that we can be accountable to and that they can be
    accountable to."

    Shephard said the province is engaging with 26 different stakeholder
    groups, including First Nations, as well as other government
    departments.

    Shephard said the province must abide by the Canada Health Act, and
    she believes health care must remain public and available to all, but
    she did leave the door open to more privatization.

    "I don't know how the next several years is going to evolve … with the
    way that maybe a private sector comes into this," said Shephard.

    "We already use pharmacists, they're private. We already use some, you
    know, some other medical professionals who come into this."

    People looking to give feedback on the department's discussion paper
    can email them to healthplansante@gnb.ca.

    HMMM

    "Speaking via teleconference, Catherine Lahey, Irving's lawyer, said
    her client's preference was to get the matter resolved before the end
    of those four weeks."

    Methinks I should give the lady a call as well N'esy Pas?

    June 29, 2017

    We are pleased to announce that Cathy Lahey, QC, partner in our Saint
    John office, has been appointed to the Department of Justice’s
    Judicial Advisory Committee (“JAC”) in New Brunswick for a two-year
    term.

    This comes as part of an announcement from The Honourable Jody
    Wilson-Raybould, Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Canada,
    who appointed members in five provincial jurisdictions, adding to the
    existing complement of JACs.

    JACs are independent bodies which were formed as part of a new
    process, announced in October 2016, to assess federal judicial
    applicants and provide the Minister of Justice with lists of
    high-calibre candidates who represent the diversity of Canada.

    Cathy joins Twila Reid, partner in our St. John’s office, who was
    appointed to the JAC in Newfoundland and Labrador earlier this year

    Higgs faces growing dissent from cabinet on LGBTQ policy review

    Minister Jeff Carr says government should strengthen policies, not take away rights

    Premier Blaine Higgs is facing a growing wave of dissent from several of his cabinet ministers over the review of the province's policy on LGBTQ students at school.

    Transportation and Infrastructure Minister Jeff Carr is the latest Progressive Conservative to question the rethink of Policy 713, which sets minimum standards for creating safe, inclusive spaces in the education system.

    "There are ways to strengthen policies and that's what governments should be here for, to strengthen policies and not take away the rights of marginalized individuals, to not have them live in fear," said Carr, who was sometimes emotional about the issue during a scrum with reporters on Thursday.

    Local Government Minister Daniel Allain also weighed in, saying it was "important to keep the policy, not only to keep it, but to strengthen it." 

    Among the provisions under review is a section that allows students under the age of 16 to adopt new names and pronouns at school without their parents being told.

    Higgs has made clear he doesn't like that provision.

    Carr avoided criticizing the premier but said all MLAs have "a duty in the community to understand how we as legislators form policy that affect people in our communities."

    That includes "students in our schools who oftentimes have nobody to confide in. And it took me a while to understand why they wouldn't go to their families or their parents first," he said.

    "So they confide in a teacher, they confide in a guidance counsellor who doesn't judge them right out of the gate." 

    Other elements of the policy under review allow a student to play on sports teams and use washrooms that align with their gender identity.

    Carr said if New Brunswick wants to present itself as "inclusive and welcoming, then we need to walk that walk and talk that talk."

    His comments follow a social media post Wednesday from Social Development Minister Dorothy Shephard that pointed out the new Child and Youth Wellbeing Act she brought to the legislature. 

    It lays out the rights of children receiving social services to take part in decision-making that affects them and guarantees them privacy.

    Shephard said those principles should be part of the conversation around the LGBTQ policy.

    "Policy 713 creates an opportunity for educators to have safe space, to have respectful and welcoming educational environments. We should want that in our public school system and that's what it does," she told CBC News.

    Another cabinet member, Environment Minister Gary Crossman, clicked "like" on Shephard's post on Wednesday but could not be reached for comment Thursday.

    And Housing Minister Jill Green said this week that there may be a need for clarity on some sections of the policy but overall the document should be left as is or strengthened.

    "I would vote for strengthening it if there was a way of strengthening it," she said. "Kids are our future. … There's always ways to improve things, so I would hope we would improve it."

    Lastweek, Aboriginal Affairs Minister Arlene Dunn said there had been a lack of consultation with LGBTQ groups on the review up until that point.

    University of New Brunswick political scientist Donald Wright said the level of dissent from ministers is unusual because the British cabinet form of government treats the cabinet as a single voice.

    "It is a case of the government disagreeing with the government," he said.

    Policy 713 is a departmental policy document — not legislation and not a cabinet order. 

    That means MLAs and ministers won't have a vote on any changes.

    Carr said it would be hypothetical to discuss what he and other ministers would do if Higgs insisted on making changes to the policy that they don't agree with. 

    "Inside of that room, we have those open and honest discussions on how policies should be rolled out. Sometimes we don't always win, but we have those discussions," he said.

    Shephard also said she would press the case internally.

    "My power is always around the caucus table and always around the cabinet table. I don't think anyone can say I'm shy about voicing my thoughts and opinions and my research, so that's what I'll do." 

    Ministers who can't publicly support a government policy or decision would normally be expected to resign, Wright said. 

    "But Higgs will be feeling the heat," he added. "Politically, it's never good to lose or fire a cabinet minister. And he certainly doesn't want to precipitate a caucus revolt."

    Former education minister Dominic Cardy, who quit last fall over proposed changes to French immersion, says there are plenty of reasons why ministers are reluctant to resign.

    "You lose a very large chunk of your salary, you lose access to a government car, different benefits," he said.

    "But in the end, what's the point of this job? The point of being an elected official is to serve the people of the province."

    A wave of departures could either force Higgs back to the more moderate style he adopted early in his term or push him out, Cardy said.

    "The more people who leave, the clearer the message is," he said.

    "If he loses more ministers at this point, it's pretty clear that his time isn't just coming to an end. It's done." 

    Carr said the outcome of the review is still up in the air.

    He said it began as the fielding of some questions and requests for clarifications, "and now it's turned much more than it should be."

    But the debate may be an opportunity for politicians to better understand marginalized communities, he said.

    "I feel there is a path forward here. I feel that if it was a done deal, it would have been done by now," he said.

    Higgs has faced cabinet and caucus dissent before, saying during those episodes that his PC MLAS are "a diverse group" and no premier has ever had the full backing of their team on every issue.

    "I know that they're passionate. I know that they're pushing to do what they believe is right," he said in December 2019.

    "At the end of the day we have to balance that with the greater good and the greater consensus, and that's my job."

    Higgs released a statement Thursday saying the policy had been discussed with caucus and until Education Minister Bill Hogan has finished the review, "we will not comment any further."
