"We're the voice of the patient, but nobody has asked us to be part of anything..."

Patients have no voice or choice in a gov't healthcare monopoly. What little healthcare there is is rationed.

It's a wonder it's as popular as it is.

Priorities…. If you cannot keep your health... nothing else much matters does it?
People die... it's a fact of life.
Yet... trying to postpone the inevitable is what makes humans stand out... what makes us human. Compassion in aiding others "no matter what the price" gives all of us hope.
The Medical Profession does the best it can... with the funds it is allocated.
Citizens voices should hold a weight above that of the "Bean Counters".
It is THEIR beans that are being counted... after all.
I'm willing to drive around extra potholes and do without a lot of things... just to have a
medical system... that keeps my fellow NB'ers healthy.

There's enough sad people in the world... we don't need more.

Every politician working in the GNB since 2004 knows that I am a whistleblower against beancounters etc. In July of 2008 I reminded the Doctors working for Horizon Heath of their "Oath To Do No Harm" before they ordered their nurses, two security guards and 3 members of the the RCMP to assault me before filing me into the looney bin under Section 10 while 3 bloggers gleefully violated my privacy. Is it not rather strange that to this very day I still don't have a Health Care Card while the Doctors and Nurses continue to deny anything ever happening between us? Methinks its because they they know I do like to litigate if need be and they are worried about their money N'esy Pas?

I just called and tried to speak to Dr. Wayne MacDonald but gave up once I got the usual runaround because I was not the media

Help me out here David? I read the story twice and still don't know what these folk are hoping to contribute to the nursing shortage? Money? Nurses?
David Amos   
Reply to @Mark (Junkman) George: Methinks they liked seeing their name in the news If you listened to info morning today if bet you would be as confused as CBC and I were It should be a small wonder why I tried to talk to him N'esy Pas?

Reply to @David Amos:

Well David, when you find out what these folks are about, what they want, who is paying their bills, and what they can possibly contribute, you let us know. OK?
David Amos   
Reply to @Mark (Junkman) George: Methinks until they finally get around to giving me a Health Care Care I don't exist to the people who pay their wages with OUR money N'esy Pas?

Would like to know how we get from 200 current open jobs in the province, no percentages given as to breakdown on full vs other type positions or where these jobs are in breakdown , to union saying we are going to be short 5000 in five years.
Heather Michon 
Reply to @Ian Scott: It was the NB Nursing Association that said 5000, not the union.
Heather Michon
Our health and long term care systems are in crisis and Higgs could care less. He's more interested in ensuring that his friends at Irving and NB power are protected.

Horizon Health is such a large organization they have become divorced from the public they supposedly serve. The Patient Advisory Council, which doesn't appear to be taken seriously by Horizon Heath, needs to be taken seriously. There must be twenty layers between the frontline worker and the CEO. With its narrow span of control Horizon has had an explosion of middle level management, no wonder complaints never get addressed.

I was born in Sackville and raised in Dorchester until 1967. I was named after two young men who lost their lives to WW II defending our rights and freedoms. I have a deep respect for our veterans. My Father's friend David Hornell died in the North Atlantic on my Mother's birthday about two weeks after her favourite brother Raymond Mitton was killed in Normandy on June 8th, 1944. (Raymond's name can be found on the cenotaph in Dorchester) My Father's plane went down in WWII and he was the soul survivour of that crash or I would not be typing this now. Trust that I would dearly love to see a PBY placed in Memorial Park In honour of my Father and his many comrades in arms if only to remind us all that another war can be upon us at any time no thanks that tough talking Yankee Mr Trump. Thats all I will say on this topic.

Controversial armoured vehicle to be set up in Sackville Memorial
Park, upsets residents

While residents agree veterans deserve to be commemorated, some worry
the armoured vehicle glorifies war
Tori Weldon · CBC News · Posted: Jun 18, 2019 7:08 AM AT

"Jeska Grue, whose backyard backs onto the park, said what's already
there is plenty.

"I don't feel that it's the best way for a memorial park [to]
commemorate veterans and those affected by war."

Grue said an armoured vehicle could be an upsetting symbol for people
who have first-hand experience with war.

Her grandfather served in the Second World War, where he worked as a
tank mechanic.

"He did suffer from [post-traumatic stress disorder] and alcoholism
for the rest of his life," she said. "To me, that's the memory that it
draws."

Grue said refugees starting a new life in Sackville may also be
troubled by the armoured vehicle sitting in the middle of town.

But Jim Lockyer, honorary colonel of the 8th Canadian Hussars, said
the Cougar should act as a way to commemorate previous battles.

"This is not glorifying war, if anything it's a memento to discourage it."

He's toured fields in Italy where soldiers belonging to the 8th
Canadian Hussars lost their lives fighting during the Second World
War.

"There are young men, 18 to 25 years old, one of whom was Stedman
Henderson from Moncton, who again did not come home and they're still
there," he said.

"So it's a testimonial to their contribution."

I have the advantage, sir, of having read many of your emails over the years.


As such, I do not think a phone conversation between us, and
specifically one which you might mistakenly assume was in response to
your threat of legal action against me, is likely to prove a
productive use of either of our time.


If there is some specific matter about which you wish to communicate
with me, feel free to email me with the full details and it will be
given due consideration.


Sincerely,

>> REASONS FOR JUDGMENT BY THE COURT
>>
>> I.                    Introduction
>>
>> [1]               On September 16, 2015, David Raymond Amos (Mr. Amos)
>> filed a 53-page Statement of Claim (the Claim) in Federal Court
>> against Her Majesty the Queen (the Crown). Mr. Amos claims $11 million
>> in damages and a public apology from the Prime Minister and Provincial
>> Premiers for being illegally barred from accessing parliamentary
>> properties and seeks a declaration from the Minister of Public Safety
>> that the Canadian Government will no longer allow the Royal Canadian
>> Mounted Police (RCMP) and Canadian Forces to harass him and his clan
>> (Claim at para. 96).
>>
>> [2]               On November 12, 2015 (Docket T-1557-15), by way of a
>> motion brought by the Crown, a prothonotary of the Federal Court (the
>> Prothonotary) struck the Claim in its entirety, without leave to
>> amend, on the basis that it was plain and obvious that the Claim
>> disclosed no reasonable claim, the Claim was fundamentally vexatious,
>> and the Claim could not be salvaged by way of further amendment (the
>> Prothontary’s Order).
>>
>>
>> [3]               On January 25, 2016 (2016 FC 93), by way of Mr.
>> Amos’ appeal from the Prothonotary’s Order, a judge of the Federal
>> Court (the Judge), reviewing the matter de novo, struck all of Mr.
>> Amos’ claims for relief with the exception of the claim for damages
>> for being barred by the RCMP from the New Brunswick legislature in
>> 2004 (the Federal Court Judgment).
>>
>>
>> [4]               Mr. Amos appealed and the Crown cross-appealed the
>> Federal Court Judgment. Further to the issuance of a Notice of Status
>> Review, Mr. Amos’ appeal was dismissed for delay on December 19, 2016.
>> As such, the only matter before this Court is the Crown’s
>> cross-appeal.
>>
>>
>> II.                 Preliminary Matter
>>
>> [5]               Mr. Amos, in his memorandum of fact and law in
>> relation to the cross-appeal that was filed with this Court on March
>> 6, 2017, indicated that several judges of this Court, including two of
>> the judges of this panel, had a conflict of interest in this appeal.
>> This was the first time that he identified the judges whom he believed
>> had a conflict of interest in a document that was filed with this
>> Court. In his notice of appeal he had alluded to a conflict with
>> several judges but did not name those judges.
>>
>> [6]               Mr. Amos was of the view that he did not have to
>> identify the judges in any document filed with this Court because he
>> had identified the judges in various documents that had been filed
>> with the Federal Court. In his view the Federal Court and the Federal
>> Court of Appeal are the same court and therefore any document filed in
>> the Federal Court would be filed in this Court. This view is based on
>> subsections 5(4) and 5.1(4) of the Federal Courts Act, R.S.C., 1985,
>> c. F-7:
>>
>>
>> 5(4) Every judge of the Federal Court is, by virtue of his or her
>> office, a judge of the Federal Court of Appeal and has all the
>> jurisdiction, power and authority of a judge of the Federal Court of
>> Appeal.
>> […]
>>
>> 5(4) Les juges de la Cour fédérale sont d’office juges de la Cour
>> d’appel fédérale et ont la même compétence et les mêmes pouvoirs que
>> les juges de la Cour d’appel fédérale.
>> […]
>> 5.1(4) Every judge of the Federal Court of Appeal is, by virtue of
>> that office, a judge of the Federal Court and has all the
>> jurisdiction, power and authority of a judge of the Federal Court.
>>
>> 5.1(4) Les juges de la Cour d’appel fédérale sont d’office juges de la
>> Cour fédérale et ont la même compétence et les mêmes pouvoirs que les
>> juges de la Cour fédérale.
>>
>>
>> [7]               However, these subsections only provide that the
>> judges of the Federal Court are also judges of this Court (and vice
>> versa). It does not mean that there is only one court. If the Federal
>> Court and this Court were one Court, there would be no need for this
>> section.
>> [8]               Sections 3 and 4 of the Federal Courts Act provide
>> that:
>> 3 The division of the Federal Court of Canada called the Federal Court
>> — Appeal Division is continued under the name “Federal Court of
>> Appeal” in English and “Cour d’appel fédérale” in French. It is
>> continued as an additional court of law, equity and admiralty in and
>> for Canada, for the better administration of the laws of Canada and as
>> a superior court of record having civil and criminal jurisdiction.
>>
>> 3 La Section d’appel, aussi appelée la Cour d’appel ou la Cour d’appel
>> fédérale, est maintenue et dénommée « Cour d’appel fédérale » en
>> français et « Federal Court of Appeal » en anglais. Elle est maintenue
>> à titre de tribunal additionnel de droit, d’equity et d’amirauté du
>> Canada, propre à améliorer l’application du droit canadien, et
>> continue d’être une cour supérieure d’archives ayant compétence en
>> matière civile et pénale.
>> 4 The division of the Federal Court of Canada called the Federal Court
>> — Trial Division is continued under the name “Federal Court” in
>> English and “Cour fédérale” in French. It is continued as an
>> additional court of law, equity and admiralty in and for Canada, for
>> the better administration of the laws of Canada and as a superior
>> court of record having civil and criminal jurisdiction.
>>
>> 4 La section de la Cour fédérale du Canada, appelée la Section de
>> première instance de la Cour fédérale, est maintenue et dénommée «
>> Cour fédérale » en français et « Federal Court » en anglais. Elle est
>> maintenue à titre de tribunal additionnel de droit, d’equity et
>> d’amirauté du Canada, propre à améliorer l’application du droit
>> canadien, et continue d’être une cour supérieure d’archives ayant
>> compétence en matière civile et pénale.
>>
>>
>> [9]               Sections 3 and 4 of the Federal Courts Act create
>> two separate courts – this Court (section 3) and the Federal Court
>> (section 4). If, as Mr. Amos suggests, documents filed in the Federal
>> Court were automatically also filed in this Court, then there would no
>> need for the parties to prepare and file appeal books as required by
>> Rules 343 to 345 of the Federal Courts Rules, SOR/98-106 in relation
>> to any appeal from a decision of the Federal Court. The requirement to
>> file an appeal book with this Court in relation to an appeal from a
>> decision of the Federal Court makes it clear that the only documents
>> that will be before this Court are the documents that are part of that
>> appeal book.
>>
>>
>> [10]           Therefore, the memorandum of fact and law filed on
>> March 6, 2017 is the first document, filed with this Court, in which
>> Mr. Amos identified the particular judges that he submits have a
>> conflict in any matter related to him.
>>
>>
>> [11]           On April 3, 2017, Mr. Amos attempted to bring a motion
>> before the Federal Court seeking an order “affirming or denying the
>> conflict of interest he has” with a number of judges of the Federal
>> Court. A judge of the Federal Court issued a direction noting that if
>> Mr. Amos was seeking this order in relation to judges of the Federal
>> Court of Appeal, it was beyond the jurisdiction of the Federal Court.
>> Mr. Amos raised the Federal Court motion at the hearing of this
>> cross-appeal. The Federal Court motion is not a motion before this
>> Court and, as such, the submissions filed before the Federal Court
>> will not be entertained. As well, since this was a motion brought
>> before the Federal Court (and not this Court), any documents filed in
>> relation to that motion are not part of the record of this Court.
>>
>>
>> [12]           During the hearing of the appeal Mr. Amos alleged that
>> the third member of this panel also had a conflict of interest and
>> submitted some documents that, in his view, supported his claim of a
>> conflict. Mr. Amos, following the hearing of his appeal, was also
>> afforded the opportunity to provide a brief summary of the conflict
>> that he was alleging and to file additional documents that, in his
>> view, supported his allegations. Mr. Amos submitted several pages of
>> documents in relation to the alleged conflicts. He organized the
>> documents by submitting a copy of the biography of the particular
>> judge and then, immediately following that biography, by including
>> copies of the documents that, in his view, supported his claim that
>> such judge had a conflict.
>>
>>
>> [13]           The nature of the alleged conflict of Justice Webb is
>> that before he was appointed as a Judge of the Tax Court of Canada in
>> 2006, he was a partner with the law firm Patterson Law, and before
>> that with Patterson Palmer in Nova Scotia. Mr. Amos submitted that he
>> had a number of disputes with Patterson Palmer and Patterson Law and
>> therefore Justice Webb has a conflict simply because he was a partner
>> of these firms. Mr. Amos is not alleging that Justice Webb was
>> personally involved in or had any knowledge of any matter in which Mr.
>> Amos was involved with Justice Webb’s former law firm – only that he
>> was a member of such firm.
>>
>>
>> [14]           During his oral submissions at the hearing of his
>> appeal Mr. Amos, in relation to the alleged conflict for Justice Webb,
>> focused on dealings between himself and a particular lawyer at
>> Patterson Law. However, none of the documents submitted by Mr. Amos at
>> the hearing or subsequently related to any dealings with this
>> particular lawyer nor is it clear when Mr. Amos was dealing with this
>> lawyer. In particular, it is far from clear whether such dealings were
>> after the time that Justice Webb was appointed as a Judge of the Tax
>> Court of Canada over 10 years ago.
>>
>>
>> [15]           The documents that he submitted in relation to the
>> alleged conflict for Justice Webb largely relate to dealings between
>> Byron Prior and the St. John’s Newfoundland and Labrador office of
>> Patterson Palmer, which is not in the same province where Justice Webb
>> practiced law. The only document that indicates any dealing between
>> Mr. Amos and Patterson Palmer is a copy of an affidavit of Stephen May
>> who was a partner in the St. John’s NL office of Patterson Palmer. The
>> affidavit is dated January 24, 2005 and refers to a number of e-mails
>> that were sent by Mr. Amos to Stephen May. Mr. Amos also included a
>> letter that is addressed to four individuals, one of whom is John
>> Crosbie who was counsel to the St. John’s NL office of Patterson
>> Palmer. The letter is dated September 2, 2004 and is addressed to
>> “John Crosbie, c/o Greg G. Byrne, Suite 502, 570 Queen Street,
>> Fredericton, NB E3B 5E3”. In this letter Mr. Amos alludes to a
>> possible lawsuit against Patterson Palmer.
>> [16]           Mr. Amos’ position is that simply because Justice Webb
>> was a lawyer with Patterson Palmer, he now has a conflict. In Wewaykum
>> Indian Band v. Her Majesty the Queen, 2003 SCC 45, [2003] 2 S.C.R.
>> 259, the Supreme Court of Canada noted that disqualification of a
>> judge is to be determined based on whether there is a reasonable
>> apprehension of bias:
>> 60        In Canadian law, one standard has now emerged as the
>> criterion for disqualification. The criterion, as expressed by de
>> Grandpré J. in Committee for Justice and Liberty v. National Energy
>> Board, …[[1978] 1 S.C.R. 369, 68 D.L.R. (3d) 716], at p. 394, is the
>> reasonable apprehension of bias:
>> … the apprehension of bias must be a reasonable one, held by
>> reasonable and right minded persons, applying themselves to the
>> question and obtaining thereon the required information. In the words
>> of the Court of Appeal, that test is "what would an informed person,
>> viewing the matter realistically and practically -- and having thought
>> the matter through -- conclude. Would he think that it is more likely
>> than not that [the decision-maker], whether consciously or
>> unconsciously, would not decide fairly."
>>
>> [17]           The issue to be determined is whether an informed
>> person, viewing the matter realistically and practically, and having
>> thought the matter through, would conclude that Mr. Amos’ allegations
>> give rise to a reasonable apprehension of bias. As this Court has
>> previously remarked, “there is a strong presumption that judges will
>> administer justice impartially” and this presumption will not be
>> rebutted in the absence of “convincing evidence” of bias (Collins v.
>> Canada, 2011 FCA 140 at para. 7, [2011] 4 C.T.C. 157 [Collins]. See
>> also R. v. S. (R.D.), [1997] 3 S.C.R. 484 at para. 32, 151 D.L.R.
>> (4th) 193).
>>
>> [18]           The Ontario Court of Appeal in Rando Drugs Ltd. v.
>> Scott, 2007 ONCA 553, 86 O.R. (3d) 653 (leave to appeal to the Supreme
>> Court of Canada refused, 32285 (August 1, 2007)), addressed the
>> particular issue of whether a judge is disqualified from hearing a
>> case simply because he had been a member of a law firm that was
>> involved in the litigation that was now before that judge. The Ontario
>> Court of Appeal determined that the judge was not disqualified if the
>> judge had no involvement with the person or the matter when he was a
>> lawyer. The Ontario Court of Appeal also explained that the rules for
>> determining whether a judge is disqualified are different from the
>> rules to determine whether a lawyer has a conflict:
>> 27        Thus, disqualification is not the natural corollary to a
>> finding that a trial judge has had some involvement in a case over
>> which he or she is now presiding. Where the judge had no involvement,
>> as here, it cannot be said that the judge is disqualified.
>>
>>
>> 28        The point can rightly be made that had Mr. Patterson been
>> asked to represent the appellant as counsel before his appointment to
>> the bench, the conflict rules would likely have prevented him from
>> taking the case because his firm had formerly represented one of the
>> defendants in the case. Thus, it is argued how is it that as a trial
>> judge Patterson J. can hear the case? This issue was considered by the
>> Court of Appeal (Civil Division) in Locabail (U.K.) Ltd. v. Bayfield
>> Properties Ltd., [2000] Q.B. 451. The court held, at para. 58, that
>> there is no inflexible rule governing the disqualification of a judge
>> and that, "[e]verything depends on the circumstances."
>>
>>
>> 29        It seems to me that what appears at first sight to be an
>> inconsistency in application of rules can be explained by the
>> different contexts and in particular, the strong presumption of
>> judicial impartiality that applies in the context of disqualification
>> of a judge. There is no such presumption in cases of allegations of
>> conflict of interest against a lawyer because of a firm's previous
>> involvement in the case. To the contrary, as explained by Sopinka J.
>> in MacDonald Estate v. Martin (1990), 77 D.L.R. (4th) 249 (S.C.C.),
>> for sound policy reasons there is a presumption of a disqualifying
>> interest that can rarely be overcome. In particular, a conclusory
>> statement from the lawyer that he or she had no confidential
>> information about the case will never be sufficient. The case is the
>> opposite where the allegation of bias is made against a trial judge.
>> His or her statement that he or she knew nothing about the case and
>> had no involvement in it will ordinarily be accepted at face value
>> unless there is good reason to doubt it: see Locabail, at para. 19.
>>
>>
>> 30        That brings me then to consider the particular circumstances
>> of this case and whether there are serious grounds to find a
>> disqualifying conflict of interest in this case. In my view, there are
>> two significant factors that justify the trial judge's decision not to
>> recuse himself. The first is his statement, which all parties accept,
>> that he knew nothing of the case when it was in his former firm and
>> that he had nothing to do with it. The second is the long passage of
>> time. As was said in Wewaykum, at para. 85:
>>             To us, one significant factor stands out, and must inform
>> the perspective of the reasonable person assessing the impact of this
>> involvement on Binnie J.'s impartiality in the appeals. That factor is
>> the passage of time. Most arguments for disqualification rest on
>> circumstances that are either contemporaneous to the decision-making,
>> or that occurred within a short time prior to the decision-making.
>> 31        There are other factors that inform the issue. The Wilson
>> Walker firm no longer acted for any of the parties by the time of
>> trial. More importantly, at the time of the motion, Patterson J. had
>> been a judge for six years and thus had not had a relationship with
>> his former firm for a considerable period of time.
>>
>>
>> 32        In my view, a reasonable person, viewing the matter
>> realistically would conclude that the trial judge could deal fairly
>> and impartially with this case. I take this view principally because
>> of the long passage of time and the trial judge's lack of involvement
>> in or knowledge of the case when the Wilson Walker firm had carriage.
>> In these circumstances it cannot be reasonably contended that the
>> trial judge could not remain impartial in the case. The mere fact that
>> his name appears on the letterhead of some correspondence from over a
>> decade ago would not lead a reasonable person to believe that he would
>> either consciously or unconsciously favour his former firm's former
>> client. It is simply not realistic to think that a judge would throw
>> off his mantle of impartiality, ignore his oath of office and favour a
>> client - about whom he knew nothing - of a firm that he left six years
>> earlier and that no longer acts for the client, in a case involving
>> events from over a decade ago.
>> (emphasis added)
>>
>> [19]           Justice Webb had no involvement with any matter
>> involving Mr. Amos while he was a member of Patterson Palmer or
>> Patterson Law, nor does Mr. Amos suggest that he did. Mr. Amos made it
>> clear during the hearing of this matter that the only reason for the
>> alleged conflict for Justice Webb was that he was a member of
>> Patterson Law and Patterson Palmer. This is simply not enough for
>> Justice Webb to be disqualified. Any involvement of Mr. Amos with
>> Patterson Law while Justice Webb was a member of that firm would have
>> had to occur over 10 years ago and even longer for the time when he
>> was a member of Patterson Palmer. In addition to the lack of any
>> involvement on his part with any matter or dispute that Mr. Amos had
>> with Patterson Law or Patterson Palmer (which in and of itself is
>> sufficient to dispose of this matter), the length of time since
>> Justice Webb was a member of Patterson Law or Patterson Palmer would
>> also result in the same finding – that there is no conflict in Justice
>> Webb hearing this appeal.
>>
>> [20]           Similarly in R. v. Bagot, 2000 MBCA 30, 145 Man. R.
>> (2d) 260, the Manitoba Court of Appeal found that there was no
>> reasonable apprehension of bias when a judge, who had been a member of
>> the law firm that had been retained by the accused, had no involvement
>> with the accused while he was a lawyer with that firm.
>>
>> [21]           In Del Zotto v. Minister of National Revenue, [2000] 4
>> F.C. 321, 257 N.R. 96, this court did find that there would be a
>> reasonable apprehension of bias where a judge, who while he was a
>> lawyer, had recorded time on a matter involving the same person who
>> was before that judge. However, this case can be distinguished as
>> Justice Webb did not have any time recorded on any files involving Mr.
>> Amos while he was a lawyer with Patterson Palmer or Patterson Law.
>>
>> [22]           Mr. Amos also included with his submissions a CD. He
>> stated in his affidavit dated June 26, 2017 that there is a “true copy
>> of an American police surveillance wiretap entitled 139” on this CD.
>> He has also indicated that he has “provided a true copy of the CD
>> entitled 139 to many American and Canadian law enforcement authorities
>> and not one of the police forces or officers of the court are willing
>> to investigate it”. Since he has indicated that this is an “American
>> police surveillance wiretap”, this is a matter for the American law
>> enforcement authorities and cannot create, as Mr. Amos suggests, a
>> conflict of interest for any judge to whom he provides a copy.
>>
>> [23]           As a result, there is no conflict or reasonable
>> apprehension of bias for Justice Webb and therefore, no reason for him
>> to recuse himself.
>>
>> [24]           Mr. Amos alleged that Justice Near’s past professional
>> experience with the government created a “quasi-conflict” in deciding
>> the cross-appeal. Mr. Amos provided no details and Justice Near
>> confirmed that he had no prior knowledge of the matters alleged in the
>> Claim. Justice Near sees no reason to recuse himself.
>>
>> [25]           Insofar as it is possible to glean the basis for Mr.
>> Amos’ allegations against Justice Gleason, it appears that he alleges
>> that she is incapable of hearing this appeal because he says he wrote
>> a letter to Brian Mulroney and Jean Chrétien in 2004. At that time,
>> both Justice Gleason and Mr. Mulroney were partners in the law firm
>> Ogilvy Renault, LLP. The letter in question, which is rude and angry,
>> begins with “Hey you two Evil Old Smiling Bastards” and “Re: me suing
>> you and your little dogs too”. There is no indication that the letter
>> was ever responded to or that a law suit was ever commenced by Mr.
>> Amos against Mr. Mulroney. In the circumstances, there is no reason
>> for Justice Gleason to recuse herself as the letter in question does
>> not give rise to a reasonable apprehension of bias.
>>
>>
>> III.               Issue
>>
>> [26]           The issue on the cross-appeal is as follows: Did the
>> Judge err in setting aside the Prothonotary’s Order striking the Claim
>> in its entirety without leave to amend and in determining that Mr.
>> Amos’ allegation that the RCMP barred him from the New Brunswick
>> legislature in 2004 was capable of supporting a cause of action?
>>
>> IV.              Analysis
>>
>> A.                 Standard of Review
>>
>> [27]           Following the Judge’s decision to set aside the
>> Prothonotary’s Order, this Court revisited the standard of review to
>> be applied to discretionary decisions of prothonotaries and decisions
>> made by judges on appeals of prothonotaries’ decisions in Hospira
>> Healthcare Corp. v. Kennedy Institute of Rheumatology, 2016 FCA 215,
>> 402 D.L.R. (4th) 497 [Hospira]. In Hospira, a five-member panel of
>> this Court replaced the Aqua-Gem standard of review with that
>> articulated in Housen v. Nikolaisen, 2002 SCC 33, [2002] 2 S.C.R. 235
>> [Housen]. As a result, it is no longer appropriate for the Federal
>> Court to conduct a de novo review of a discretionary order made by a
>> prothonotary in regard to questions vital to the final issue of the
>> case. Rather, a Federal Court judge can only intervene on appeal if
>> the prothonotary made an error of law or a palpable and overriding
>> error in determining a question of fact or question of mixed fact and
>> law (Hospira at para. 79). Further, this Court can only interfere with
>> a Federal Court judge’s review of a prothonotary’s discretionary order
>> if the judge made an error of law or palpable and overriding error in
>> determining a question of fact or question of mixed fact and law
>> (Hospira at paras. 82-83).
>>
>> [28]           In the case at bar, the Judge substituted his own
>> assessment of Mr. Amos’ Claim for that of the Prothonotary. This Court
>> must look to the Prothonotary’s Order to determine whether the Judge
>> erred in law or made a palpable and overriding error in choosing to
>> interfere.
>>
>>
>> B.                 Did the Judge err in interfering with the
>> Prothonotary’s Order?
>>
>> [29]           The Prothontoary’s Order accepted the following
>> paragraphs from the Crown’s submissions as the basis for striking the
>> Claim in its entirety without leave to amend:
>>

>> (…)
>>
>>
>> 21.       The few paragraphs that directly address the Defendant

>> 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

>> paragraph 14 of the Claim as containing “some precision” as it
>> identifies the date of the event and a RCMP officer acting as
>> Aide-de-Camp to the Lieutenant Governor (Federal Court Judgment at
>> para. 27).
>>
>>
>> [31]           The Judge noted that the 2004 event could support a
>> cause of action in the tort of misfeasance in public office and
>> identified the elements of the tort as excerpted from Meigs v. Canada,
>> 2013 FC 389, 431 F.T.R. 111:
>>
>>
>> [13]      As in both the cases of Odhavji Estate v Woodhouse, 2003 SCC
>> 69 [Odhavji] and Lewis v Canada, 2012 FC 1514 [Lewis], I must
>> determine whether the plaintiffs’ statement of claim pleads each
>> element of the alleged tort of misfeasance in public office:
>>
>> a) The public officer must have engaged in deliberate and unlawful
>> conduct in his or her capacity as public officer;
>>
>> b) The public officer must have been aware both that his or her
>> conduct was unlawful and that it was likely to harm the plaintiff; and
>>
>> c) There must be an element of bad faith or dishonesty by the public
>> officer and knowledge of harm alone is insufficient to conclude that a
>> public officer acted in bad faith or dishonestly.
>> Odhavji, above, at paras 23, 24 and 28
>> (Federal Court Judgment at para. 28).
>>
>> [32]           The Judge determined that Mr. Amos disclosed sufficient
>> material facts to meet the elements of the tort of misfeasance in
>> public office because the actors, who barred him from the New
>> Brunswick legislature in 2004, including the RCMP, did so for
>> “political reasons” (Federal Court Judgment at para. 29).
>>
>> [33]           This Court’s discussion of the sufficiency of pleadings
>> in Merchant Law Group v. Canada (Revenue Agency), 2010 FCA 184, 321
>> D.L.R (4th) 301 is particularly apt:
>>
>> …When pleading bad faith or abuse of power, it is not enough to
>> assert, baldly, conclusory phrases such as “deliberately or
>> negligently,” “callous disregard,” or “by fraud and theft did steal”.
>> “The bare assertion of a conclusion upon which the court is called
>> upon to pronounce is not an allegation of material fact”. Making bald,
>> conclusory allegations without any evidentiary foundation is an abuse
>> of process…
>>
>> To this, I would add that the tort of misfeasance in public office
>> requires a particular state of mind of a public officer in carrying
>> out the impunged action, i.e., deliberate conduct which the public
>> officer knows to be inconsistent with the obligations of his or her
>> office. For this tort, particularization of the allegations is
>> mandatory. Rule 181 specifically requires particularization of
>> allegations of “breach of trust,” “wilful default,” “state of mind of
>> a person,” “malice” or “fraudulent intention.”
>> (at paras. 34-35, citations omitted).
>>
>> [34]           Applying the Housen standard of review to the
>> Prothonotary’s Order, we are of the view that the Judge interfered
>> absent a legal or palpable and overriding error.
>>
>> [35]           The Prothonotary determined that Mr. Amos’ Claim
>> disclosed no reasonable claim and was fundamentally vexatious on the
>> basis of jurisdictional concerns and the absence of material facts to
>> ground a cause of action. Paragraph 14 of the Claim, which addresses
>> the 2004 event, pleads no material facts as to how the RCMP officer
>> engaged in deliberate and unlawful conduct, knew that his or her
>> conduct was unlawful and likely to harm Mr. Amos, and acted in bad
>> faith. While the Claim alleges elsewhere that Mr. Amos was barred from
>> the New Brunswick legislature for political and/or malicious reasons,
>> these allegations are not particularized and are directed against
>> non-federal actors, such as the Sergeant-at-Arms of the Legislative
>> Assembly of New Brunswick and the Fredericton Police Force. As such,
>> the Judge erred in determining that Mr. Amos’ allegation that the RCMP
>> barred him from the New Brunswick legislature in 2004 was capable of
>> supporting a cause of action.
>>
>> [36]           In our view, the Claim is made up entirely of bare
>> allegations, devoid of any detail, such that it discloses no
>> reasonable cause of action within the jurisdiction of the Federal
>> Courts. Therefore, the Judge erred in interfering to set aside the
>> Prothonotary’s Order striking the claim in its entirety. Further, we
>> find that the Prothonotary made no error in denying leave to amend.
>> The deficiencies in Mr. Amos’ pleadings are so extensive such that
>> amendment could not cure them (see Collins at para. 26).
>>
>> V.                 Conclusion
>> [37]           For the foregoing reasons, we would allow the Crown’s
>> cross-appeal, with costs, setting aside the Federal Court Judgment,

>> Brian Macdonald won't run again for legislature seat, but might try
>> federal politics
>> CBC News · Posted: May 28, 2018 6:07 PM AT | Last Updated: May 28
>> Brian Macdonald, a Progressive Conservative MLA, has announced he
>> won't run in the Sept. 24 provincial election. (CBC)
>>
>> New Brunswick's Progressive Conservative party is losing one of its
>> highest-profile MLAs just months before the next provincial election.
>>
>> Brian Macdonald says he won't be a candidate this fall and may instead
>> jump into federal politics.
>>
>> Calling the last year "my best year in politics," the two-term MLA
>> said his decision has nothing to do with PC Leader Blaine Higgs, who
>> beat Macdonald for the party leadership in 2016.
>>
>> "It's been a really good year," Macdonald said. "I've had a strong
>> voice in the legislature on issues that are really important to my
>> heart.
>>
>> "I also think it can be a challenge being in provincial politics. It's
>> very small, it's very close, it's very tight, and on a personal basis,
>> I want to move on."
>>
>> Macdonald says he’s considering running for the federal Conservative
>> nomination in New Brunswick Southwest, which includes part of the
>> riding of Fredericton West-Hanwell, where he has been the MLA. (CBC)
>>
>> Macdonald said he's considering running for the federal Conservative
>> nomination in New Brunswick Southwest, a constituency that includes
>> part of Macdonald's provincial riding of Fredericton West-Hanwell.
>>
>>     Health critic slams 'gutting' of top doctor's office
>>
>>     Blaine Higgs faces internal PC dissent over appointment
>>
>> That decision would pit him against former Conservative MP John
>> Williamson, who announced May 21 he'll also seek the nomination in the
>> riding he represented from 2011 to 2015. Party members in the riding
>> will nominate their candidate June 28.
>>
>> Macdonald said he'll also consider running federally in Fredericton.
>> The former soldier said he's also looking at job opportunities with
>> national organizations that advocate for veterans.
>>
>> "I'm looking for opportunities and considering a lot of options," he
>> said.
>>
>>     Blaine Higgs wins N.B. PC leadership race on 3rd ballot
>>
>>     Tory leadership hopefuls scramble to be 'second choice' of rivals'
>> supporters
>>
>> Macdonald is the fifth candidate from the 2016 provincial PC
>> leadership race to opt against running in this year's election under
>> Higgs.
>>
>> Macdonald said he is confident he would have won his riding again and
>> the Tories will win the election Sept. 24, meaning he'd have a shot of
>> becoming a minister.
>>
>> But he said being a provincial politician "does wear on you and it
>> does make you think about what the other options are. … If I go
>> another four years in provincial politics, it concerns me that my
>> options would be limited after that."
>>
>> The 47-year-old also said the recent death of some friends made him
>> realize he should pursue other opportunities when he can.
>>
>> Macdonald's interest in federal politics has been well-known for
>> years. He was a political assistant to former federal Defence Minister
>> Peter MacKay and sought the federal Conservative nomination for
>> Fredericton for the 2008 election.
>>
>> After failing to win that nomination, he ran provincially in
>> Fredericton-Silverwood in 2010 and was elected. He was re-elected in
>> the newly created riding of Fredericton West-Hanwell in 2014, when he
>> defeated then-NDP leader Dominic Cardy.
>>
>> Macdonald ran for the leadership of the New Brunswick Progressive
>> Conservative Party but lost to Blaine Higgs. (Jacques Poitras/CBC)
>>
>> In 2016, Macdonald ran for the PC leadership, placing sixth on the
>> first ballot out of seven candidates.
>>
>> Macdonald said he doesn't think his departure will hurt the provincial
>> party's chances of holding on to Fredericton West-Hanwell.
>>
>> "It's going to be very attractive to a number of high-calibre
>> candidates who are now beginning to come forward," he said.

Methinks anyone with two clues between their ears would find the following truly ridiculous N'esy Pas?

"Friday's court filings took place mere hours before Brunswick News's flagship newspaper, the Telegraph-Journal, won the Michener Award, the top Canadian prize for public-service journalism.

At the award ceremony Friday night, Metcalfe said without journalism, "secrecy would be rampant. Truth, trust, transparency would be scant."

"In its application to the court, the government said it wanted publication blocked "to prevent damage to the legitimate public interest … and to the private interests of commercial entities."

Reply to @Greg Smith:

Did you even read the story! Higgs STOPPED Irving from publishing,



Joe Campbell
Reply to @Johnny Horton: I am sure Irving went to Mr.Higgs to tell him what was going to be published and to put a stop to it. This way the Irving's do not look like the bag guys for not running the story.


Greg Smith 
Reply to @Johnny Horton: Yes of course I read it. This information should've been published, that's my point.


Johnny Horton 
Reply to @Greg Smith:

Why? By Canadian law a business is an entity, just like a person and is entitled to the same rights, you don’t need to reveal your proprietary information, then business shouldn’t have to either, by our LAWS.



Greg Smith 
Reply to @Johnny Horton: I’ll just wait for you to explain why crown corporations like NB Power(ie: taxpayer owned) should be exempted from reporting to the public. All public corporations post their financial results at least annually, but often quarterly. You’re confusing laws that apply to private citizens with those that apply to public companies. This being said, the province publishes gross wages earned by all NB physicians, who in most cases own their private practices. In this case it’s because they bill through Medicare; also taxpayer funded. All I’m stating is there needs to be consistency in the reporting standards. At the moment there is not.


David Amos  
Reply to @Greg Smith: NB Power is not audited


Greg Smith 
Reply to @David Amos: Except by the AG every regime change.


David Amos 
Reply to @Greg Smith: Nope the AG has no funding to do such a thing. Methinks the lady doth protest too much in light of the fact that she knows the awful truth of it all and never mentions it. I bet many politicians would agree in private that she is just protecting her own job security N'esy Pas?

I must admit I don't fully understand the ramifications of this leak and newspaper story; however, I do find it interesting that the paper publishing the story is owned by the Irving Group. Higgs has done a great job of bobbing and weaving so far and I hope he can continue; however, something bothers me about secrecy especially when it comes to "taxes".


Johnny Horton 
Reply to @Greg Miller:

I agree in regards to secrecy and taxes. So how much do you pay in taxes?



Joe Campbell  
Reply to @Johnny Horton: To much, my last pay the government took 33%. That does not include my CPP or EI.


David Amos  
Reply to @Greg Miller: "I must admit I don't fully understand the ramifications of this leak and newspaper story"

Methinks many would agree that its an effort to make Higgs and the Irving Clan appear to be at odds and yet both are ethical N'esy Pas?














Joe Campbell 
Of course, transparency at it's best!


David Amos  
Reply to @Joe Campbell: Methinks they trying to make it appear that way but its just another smoke and mirror show at the circus N'esy Pas?

As usual, everyone taking the opportunity to ***** out the Irving’s.

Johnny Horton 
Reply to @Harold Benson:

No. Not rightly so. Have some bloody ethics, instead of just railing alwsys no matter what is done. The Irving’s could pay off our debt and pave all our driveways gold and everyone would still *****,

Always gotta tear down those more successful,



Bobby Burke   
Reply to @Johnny Horton: Yes Johnny, too bad they didn't have some way to protect themselves, like buy some News(?) Papers, radio stations, TV stations. Then they could not only omit things, but also promote themselves, like Thursday, June 13th, paper B3, ....an exact copy of Wednesdays B3! & guess what, Jim getting a ports award. First time in my life I've seen two dates in the same day.

Greg Smith
Reply to @Johnny Horton: Public companies are obligated to report their financial results. Crown corporations such as NB Power, funded with taxpayer dollars, are effectively owned by tax paying New Brunswickers, and as such should share the same obligation as every other public company. Without this obligation, you'll continue to see entities like NB Liquor employ creative accounting tricks to embezzle taxpayer dollars.


Harold Benson

New Brunswickers know who owns the Province, who runs it, who pays taxes, and those who don't and then there is Higgs and his three party leadership. Moe, Curly and Larry!

Methinks I should reveal at closing time what the most comical part of this article in to me N'esy Pas?

In a nutshell lets just say that I doubt that Chief Wayne Gallant will vote for me in the next Federal Election. However he certainly knows that when it comes to my concerns about their severe lack of integrity the cops in New Brunswick have a lot more to be worried about than front licence plates. Gallant and his former RCMP boss Roger Brown who is now the Chief of Fat Fred City Finest had lots of time to study my lawsuit against the Crown in 2015 before they retired. Trust that the cops are gonna love my next lawsuit against the Crown which I will file while running for a seat in Parliament again.

Ian Scott
Well it is a climate crisis right. Think of all the aluminum smelting you have saved.Lol.
After I just received 2 stickers for registration renewal. By the way if a bus would put a camera on the front it sees the back plate if you pass it just like the 407 in Toronto. They seem to do just fine with one. Since there are no traffic cops in NB, unlike PQ , that actually watch traffic, and I mean not bothering the folks on Sunday morning on the bypass but actually in town at intersections it won't matter.  



David Amos
Reply to @Ian Scott: Methinks according to this article the Powers that Be in NB had quit the notice registration renewal year ago to save some money Hence its is no longer our fault if we don't look at our plates now and then to check the date on the stickers I believe Quebec even got rid of the stickers years ago N'esy Pas?

Two huge bills in the spring legislature.. one license plate and mvi every 2 years.. but what will the prices be to renewal.. is safety no concern.. the peoples alliance will go down in history as a one term party and the two dumbest moves ever.. peoples safety is worth more then 35 bucks a year.. but hey Austin doesn't care...Higgs you will pay also for following this misinformed path

Methinks it is very strange that Martha Stewart a woman with a criminal record was allowed to come to Canada and talk about dope in light of the fact that Canadians with a drinking a driving record or a
record of being caught with dope 30 years ago are not allowed in the USA even though it is legal today N'esy Pas?





David Amos
Methinks we have the same Queen and rule of law N'esy Pas?

https://www.cbsnews.com/pictures/banned-from-britain/

Banned from Britain

"When Stewart was banned, the U.K. Border and Immigration Agency released a statement, according to The Independent newspaper, saying the government "continues to oppose" entry for those who have been found guilty of "serious criminal offenses abroad."









Doug Baston
How was she allowed entry? She is a convicted felon. As usual, the rules don't apply to the 1%.


David Amos
Reply to @Doug Baston: Oh So True















John Montgomery
I wonder what Stewart would think of Cannabis NB prices. At least she'd feel at home with the bars and all.


David Amos
Reply to @John Montgomery: Methinks its interesting other folks can say such things but I can't N'esy Pas?













David Stairs
friggin amazing...taking advice from a known felon who spent time in jail for insider trading...advice on how to screw your clients and make the most money without getting caught..and just look at all the
retired politicians that are involved and being paid 6 figures to promote this...wake up people....this organization really smells bad...

Greg Smith
Reply to @Marguerite Deschamps: CBD is the non-intoxicant cannabinoid compound widely studied for medicinal uses as an anti-inflammatory. A consensus has yet to be reached on it's efficacy at treating inflammation. Some reports have found it to be of limited use for inflammation in the body elsewhere from the stomach/digestive tract, meaning it may be useful in combatting nausea, but less so for treating things like headache, or joint pain (no pun intended).


David Amos
Reply to @Greg Smith: Who Cares?


Greg Smith
Reply to @David Amos: Physicians, hemp farmers, Canopy Growth Corp, GW Pharmaceuticals, Tilray, a host of scientists and researchers, Crohn’s Diseases sufferers, and probably a few more stakeholders I’ve neglected to mention.

By the way, don’t you mean “Methinks who cares, n’esy pas?”. Let’s not forget your eye-blisteringly redundant format, David.



Josef Blow
Reply to @David Amos: People with a desire to know and understand things usually care about information and seek to learn what they can. Then there are those for whom the lyrics of Springsteen’s song “Glory Days” ring oh so truly ..















Greg Smith
I'm quite certain we didn't need a celebrity to tell us exactly what every potential customer has been telling CNB and other provincially run dispensaries since they first opened; that the prices are far too
high to be competitive with the black market.


Mark (Junkman) George
Reply to @Greg Smith:

Greg, it doesn't matter. The profits have been already syphoned off in overpriced 10 year property leases.
This is nothing more than thrashing about trying to look good to the
peons paying the bills.

N.B. pension management employees score record $5M in bonuses

Province's investments saw 2% gain last year, despite significant declines in global stock markets



The organization handling New Brunswick government pension and other funds awarded its employees a record $5 million in bonuses last year, including $902,438 to its president after the province's investments managed to post a two per cent gain, despite significant declines in global stock markets.

Vestcor is the Fredericton-based investment firm set up by the province to manage what has become $16.9 billion in funds, including retirement savings for provincial civil servants, teachers and most hospital workers.

Vestcor also invests pension money for the University of New Brunswick and the City of Fredericton and handles hundreds of millions of dollars set aside by NB Power to deal with the eventual decommissioning of the Point Lepreau nuclear generating station and its stockpile of nuclear waste.



According to its latest annual report, Vestcor posted a 2.08 per cent gain on investments in 2018 — less than the rate of inflation — but significantly better than pension plans across the country, many of which bled money during the year thanks to turbulent stock prices.
In a letter attached to the annual report, Vestcor's chairman Michael Walton said it was "gratifying" that the organization was able to post gains in what he called "the generally negative financial market environment" of 2018.

In February, the Royal Bank's Investor and Treasury Services division reported that Canadian defined benefit pension plans overall lost 0.7 per cent of their value in 2018, placing Vestcor's result in the top tier of performances nationwide.

That helped fuel another boost in employee performance bonuses, which have grown significantly at Vestcor in recent years.

Vestcor's long-time president John Sinclair saw his pay package in 2018 hit a new high of $1.39 million, a 9.5 per cent increase over 2017.

Bonuses exceed salary by 200%


Sinclair's base salary is $351,389 and, although Vestcor guidelines show the upper target for executive bonuses allows for another 130 per cent on top of that, Sinclair's bonus was once again well above that upper range.

He earned $902,438 in bonuses in 2018 — what Vestcor calls "incentive pay"—  just under 257 per cent of his base salary.

 
Vestcor had more than $6 billion invested in global stock markets in 2018 and lost money on many of those holdings, like the $7 million it had invested in the struggling General Mills as markets plunged. But with $10 billion invested in other areas, such as real estate and private companies, Vestcor managed to overcome those losses and post overall investment gains for the year. (Matt Rourke/Associated Press)
It's at least the fourth year in a row Sinclair's bonuses have exceeded his salary by 200 per cent or more.

Other Vestcor executives earning bonuses in excess of 130 per cent of their base pay in 2018 include chief investment officer Jonathan Spinney, who was awarded bonuses of $466,628 (190 per cent of his salary), vice-president Daniel Goguen, who earned $344,476 on top of his base pay (161 per cent), and vice-president James Scott, whose bonuses totalled $328,891 (143 per cent).

Extended to all employees 

Bonus payments at Vestcor have doubled over the last four years and, in 2018, were expanded to cover all employees — not just those involved in making investment decisions.

"This change provides further alignment with the performance of our clients and ensures we continue to be able to attract and retain talent while competitively keeping pace with other similar service providers in our industry," wrote Walton in the annual report.

Vestcor defended bonus payments as a way to reward strong performance and attract and retain talented employees. It also noted the practice is common in the investment field.

However, Vestcor has never explained why the range it sets for employee bonuses of between 30 and 130 per cent of base pay is routinely exceeded by its top executives.

Vestcor does claim that its senior executives have beaten their investment targets by a combined $567.1 million over the last four years, including by $171.6 million in 2018 — the basis of the elevated bonuses.

Oh My My Methinks I should thank CBC for telling me something I did not know N'esy Pas?



Mike McCormick 
Reply to @David Amos: Complaining that CBC is again reporting factual news seems silly. Not everyone gets inside info and knows the results beforehand like you. What does N’esy pas mean?


David Amos
Reply to @Mike McCormick: Methinks it because I know for a fact that CBC does not report many things and my Chiac seems to make Anglos want to correct me all the time which is kinda comical to me an my Acadian friends N'esy Pas?












Richard Dunn
This is a project that Blaine Higgs needs to tackle. The returns this find gets is horrible, when compared to the CPP investment returns, and the wage and bonus packages, are beyond crazy.
It is time to clean house at Vestcor.



David Amos
Reply to @Richard Dunn: Dream on Methinks everybody knows Mr Higgs created Vestcor N'esy Pas? 

Alexander Forbes
I have a 12 month trailing return of over 6% on my personal investments. 2% isn't worthy of $5million in bonuses..


David Amos  
Reply to @Alexander Forbes: Methinks I should wish you luck explaining that to Mr Higgs N'esy Pas? 











 
Greg Miller
How does a 2% gain compare to the TSX last year--not so good. So what is their achievement measure against?


David Amos   
Reply to @Greg Miller: Methinks they measured against Mr Higgs winning a mandate N'esy Pas? 










 
Reggie Sinclair
What are base salaries of its other employees? My pension is held with Vestcor and despite numerous requests I’ve never been given an answer...even if it was a “range” like the province does with its annual “blue book.” What other perks do they receive (conference allowances, etc.)


David Amos
Reply to @Reggie Sinclair: Blue Book it 








 
John Jarratt
Gee, the banks were paying more than 2% last on some of their GIC's. How do these guys rate any bonus?


David Amos
Reply to @John Jarratt: They don't 








 
Roy Kirk
"Vestcor does claim that its senior executives have beaten their investment targets by a combined $567.1 million over the last . . ."
===
Perhaps the performance targets are too low? Not every Crown Corp can reward its executives by moving their year end! ;-)



David Amos
Reply to @Roy Kirk: Methinks politicians can do anything they wish to benefit their politically appointed buddies They are not gonna prosecute themselves and everybody makes fun of you if you sue the Crown like I do in an effort to hold them accountable N'esy Pas?


James Reed 
Reply to @Roy Kirk: Vestcor is not a crown corporation - it is a company jointly owner by the Public Service pension plan and the NB teachers pension plan.


David Amos 
Reply to @James Reed: Methinks the nurses and many others would like to see you explain the following statement N'esy Pas?

"Vestcor also invests pension money for the University of New Brunswick and the City of Fredericton and handles hundreds of millions of dollars set aside by NB Power to deal with the eventual decommissioning of the Point Lepreau nuclear generating station and its stockpile of nuclear waste."



James Reed  
Reply to @David Amos: I'm not sure what you mean - the Public Service pension plan and the NB teachers pension plan own Vestcor ... they manage the funds for those two pensions, but they also mange the funds for over a dozen other plans. Those other plans have zero ownership in Vestcor, they pay Vestcor to manage their funds.


David Amos  
Reply to @James Reed: Obviously I disagree Methinks you should explain your reasoning to the lawyers involved in the lawsuits Mr Higgs and his cohorts know that I have been doing so since 2013 N'esy Pas? 










 
Alfred Watson
Vestcor was created to allow politicians to reward their favorites with plum positions and unwarranted reimbursement for doing nothing. Public service union heads signed on to this cursed pension money grab in return for appointment to a government " board". Corruption at its best!!!!

David Amos  
Reply to @Alfred Watson: "Corruption at its best!!!!"

Methinks many a true word is said in jest N'esy Pas? 










 
Bernard McIntyre
Wow 2% the Canada Pension Plan made an 8% gain so really Vestcor did really bad in investing but still get outrageous bonuses. Something has to be done about this be cause really it's criminal. The CPP directors spent 3.2 of the 3.9 billion $ of money that Canadian's contributed to the plan in a year and now I read about this in the N.B pension plan. Just imagine how much more money we would be receiving from for pensions if we weren't getting ripped off by these directors of these pension plans 


David Amos 
Reply to @Bernard McIntyre: Methinks as long as Mr Higgs and his cohorts are Happy Happy Happy these overpaid dudes will keep on getting unearned bonuses N'esy Pas?


Lou Bell
Reply to @David Amos: Higgs has nothing to do . WITH THIS PRIVATE CORPORATION 


Bernard McIntyre
Reply to @David Amos: Opps me bad again.


David Amos 
Reply to @Bernard McIntyre: Nope I like your style Methinks its fairly obvious that there is a lot Mr Bell don't know about Vestcor and Mr Higgs N'esy Pas? 









 
Jim Macdonald
This is a total rip-off. Disband this greedy organization and find a better group to manage the pension funds.


David Amos 
Reply to @jim macdonald: Methinks many would agree that the employees and the pensioners should manage their own pension funds. There are several lawsuits about the creation of Vestcor N'esy Pas? 












 
McKenzie King
I'm not sure why we are giving bonuses to peole simply because they have done their jobs properly. Their job was to invest so the fund would grow, and that is exactly what they did. And right now, you can get 1.9% in a savings account in some banks, so 2%, when we had to spend all this money to get it doesn't look that good. Next year, if they don't make money, with they pay a $5 million penalty to the government???


David Amos 
Reply to @McKenzie King: Methinks everything political is always about the money and this is a politically created corporation designed to play with money a little differently than the way McKenna and his cohorts first created it N''esy Pas?


Lou Bell  
Reply to @McKenzie King: That was last year . And a 357,000 dollar salary to run a company this size is well below par. Compare what they make this year to your 1.9 % and let us know how well you do compared to this years return.


Lou Bell  
Reply to @David Amos: If you really would like to know , this is now a private corporation , no longer a Crown Corporation , so the government can np longer dip into it as they like .


Bernard McIntyre 
Reply to @Lou Bell: A 357,000$ salary plus 4 times that salary in bonuses. yes makes sense to me. Not!!!


Lou Bell  
Reply to @Bernard McIntyre: Check out what presidents of fund managers of most investment companies make annually. Think you'll find many most make well over 1.3 million , many in excess of 2 million ! Plus bonuses !


Lou Bell  
Reply to @Bernard McIntyre: From what the story says it was 2.5 times the salary ! Tell me how you get 4 TIMES the salary !!! New math ???????????????


David Amos  
Reply to @Lou Bell: Methinks you don't have the first clue about what I know or don't know because you never bothered to check my work N'esy Pas?


Lou Bell 
Reply to @David Amos: You told us all about it. And the average 25 votes you received each election . Sometimes you didn't even get the full 25 votes you had on your nomination papers. Time to quit beating a dead horse. Maybe try knitting . 










 
BruceJack Speculato
This is the same pension plan that will not pay inflation raises to pensioners if they judge the fund did not earn enough more than the CPI but the president gets more than double his salary even when the fund earned less than the inflation rate?


Lou Bell  
Reply to @BruceJack Speculator: Pensioners did receive their inflation raises. Do we know what he gets if it doesn't reach what you speculate? They made 171 million last year , where many funds lost money. I'd think that's worth a bit wouldn't you? And
a salary of 357,000 dollars would certainly be well below par for the course for running a company of this size.



Bernard McIntyre 
Reply to @Lou Bell: The Canada Pension Plan Made 8%. the N.B pension plan made 2%. but of course Canadian's are getting ripped off by the director's of both plans.


Lou Bell   
Reply to @Bernard McIntyre: No, the CPP didn't make 8 % last year. Where did you come up with that number ?? PLEASE TELL !!!


Lou Bell   
Reply to @Bernard McIntyre: Is this like the 4x bonus you claimed Sinclair made, although the story clearly indicates it was 2.5 times ???


David Amos   
Reply to @BruceJack Speculator: YUP


David Amos   
Reply to @Bernard McIntyre: Methinks now that he is hollering at you perhaps you are sorta bad in a righteous kind of way but if you keep teasing him you may give poor old Lou a stroke N'esy Pas?


Lou Bell   
Reply to @David Amos: Tell us about who should remember you today and be scared . Another " more about you than the story " Amos Minute . 










 
Lou Bell   
Many commenting here would sooner see their investments with one of the majority of fund managers that lost money last year and who most likely had Company Presidents who would have made in excess of 1 million dollar salaries with smaller bonuses than one that made 171 million dollars last year. I'd have expected more thought put into this by Canadians , Americans maybe less , but not Canadians . I'm extremely happy with the way my pension is handled thank you !


David Amos   
Reply to @Lou Bell: "I'm extremely happy with the way my pension is handled thank you !"
Surprise Surprise Surprise



 Lou Bell   
Reply to @David Amos: Apparently you'd prefer the old CPP plan ! I haven't got that " sense of entitlement some others seem to have here. Not sure you have a clue what you prefer . Maybe tell us who remembers you and why they should be scared of you this time . 









 
John O'Brien
I'd like to see an audit. How much of the ROI is just accounting smoke and mirrors whose only purpose is to maximize bonuses.


David Amos 
Reply to @John O'Brien: "I'd like to see an audit."

Me Too



Lou Bell  
Reply to @John O'Brien: I'm sure if you check it out you can find one . I expect one is done at least annually . And are you affected by this ? Do you have a pension with them ? If so , go to the annual meeting. If not , it's probably none of your business. You too Amos . 








 
Lou Bell  
Interesting . Any complainers who've been denied their cost of living ? Nope. Appears some former government employees commenting here still expect not only their cost of living but still expecting A RAISE !! Every year one gets a printout of what they can expect to get on retirement. And it appears their sense of entitlement indicates in the good years they expect a lot more , and yet don't want to take a cut in bad years. The present setup is exactly the reason they want to avoid running into what the CPP ran into ! Not too hard to understand if one knows anything about economics at all.

My comments thus far today

David Amos
Methinks Mr Jones must recall our conversation about the investment
industry in late December of 2008 N'esy Pas?
.

David Amos
Does anyone recall Victor Boudreau's budget in 2009?

David Amos
Does anyone recall how Mr Higgs rearranged things in 2013 that have
inspired at least three lawsuits thus far?

Perhaps I should have a long talk with these dudes?

Hmmm where do I begin. How about CBC's "Fake News" buddies in CNN?

http://www.cnn.com/2017/06/16/politics/robert-mueller-special-counsel-lawyers/index.html

CBC knows for a fact that I crossed paths with the latest US Special
Counsel Robert Mueller and his boyz in the FBI bigtime way back in
2002.

Just Google three names and start reading

Robert Mueller David Amos CBC

I know for a fact that Mueller is a crook and proved it long ago. Why
do you think I sued the Yankee Feds in 2002 and then ran for pubic
office in Canada five times thus far?

Vestcor Announces Completion of Investment and Administration
Corporation - Announces Positive Financial Results for 2016

Posted: August 22, 2017

The Vestcor Group of Companies (Vestcor) has released its inaugural
Annual Report, including information on its two private not-for-profit
companies, Vestcor Investment Management Corporation (VIMC) and
Vestcor Pension Services Corporation (VPSC).

“Vestcor has been created to deliver a cost efficient, integrated
investment management, pension and benefit service delivery platform
to a number of public sector entities” said John A. Sinclair,
President and Chief Executive Officer of both VIMC and VPSC.  “The
success of our cost-effective investment management program, in
combination with our pension and benefit administration services
capabilities will continue to provide exceptional value to our clients
in a challenging environment”.

Located in Fredericton, New Brunswick, Vestcor provides global
investment management services to eight different public sector client
groups representing approximately $16 billion in assets under
management, and administration services to 11 public sector pension
plans and 5 employee benefit plans.

VIMC also announced a 6.16 percent overall investment return for total
assets under management for the year ended December 31, 2016.  The
Corporation provides investment management services for the NB Public
Service Pension Plan and New Brunswick Teachers’ Pension Plan as well
as six other public sector clients.

@Troy Mann "You don't so shouldn't the media and the elected officials
get to the bottom of it?"

Hmmm where do I begin. How about CBC's "Fake News" buddies in CNN?

http://www.cnn.com/2017/06/16/politics/robert-mueller-special-counsel-lawyers/index.html

CBC knows for a fact that I crossed paths with the latest US Special
Counsel Robert Mueller and his boyz in the FBI bigtime way back in
2002.

Just Google three names and start reading

Robert Mueller David Amos CBC

I know for a fact that Mueller is a crook and proved it long ago. Why
do you think I sued the Yankee Feds in 2002 and then ran for pubic
office in Canada five times thus far?

Date: 20151223

Docket: T-1557-15

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.

“B. Richard Bell”
Judge


Below after the CBC article about your concerns (I made one comment
already) you will find the text of just two of many emails I had sent
to your office over the years since I first visited it in 2006.

 I noticed that on July 30, 2009, he was appointed to the  the Court
Martial Appeal Court of Canada  Perhaps you should scroll to the
bottom of this email ASAP and read the entire Paragraph 83  of my
lawsuit now before the Federal Court of Canada?

five years after he began his bragging:

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
the US. These issues do not fall into the purvue of Detachment
and 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.

Canada Pension Plan expansion 'penalizes' women, the disabled, says
the opposition

NDP accuse Liberals of quashing potential fix of 'flawed' bill because
it would increase costs
By Karina Roman, CBC News Posted: Nov 23, 2016 8:44 PM ET

"Was this deliberately done or was it an oversight? I'm still having
that debate in my head," said NDP MP Scott Duvall.

The expanded pension plan, under Bill C-26, will sit on top of the
existing CPP, boosting retirement benefits over time, but it will be
calculated separately, and differently, from the current CPP, which
will remain unchanged by the bill. "

Opposition motion for PR on P.E.I. in 2019 defeated
Motion for referendum on electoral reform remains on the floor
By Natalia Goodwin, Kerry Campbell, CBC News Posted: Nov 23, 2016 6:39 AM AT

The entire Liberal Caucus plus three PCs voted against the motion to
bring in mixed member proportional representation for 2019.


"P.E.I. Green Party Leader Peter Bevan-Baker is expressing extreme
disappointment at the defeat of a motion to bring electoral reform to
the province, saying governments will do "whatever the hell they
want."

_(Français à suivre)_

Thank you for contacting the Green Party of Canada. Due to the high
volume of email, we cannot guarantee that all inquiries will be
answered. We will do our best to respond to inquiries as staffing and
resources permit.

In the meantime, you may find the answer you're looking for in Vision
Green [1], which lays out a plan to move Canada forward and to defend
the shared values and principles that built the country we love.

Our economic plan [2] invests in people and creates good jobs. We
will invest in infrastructure, education, and health care to
support strong communities [3]. Our proposed democratic reforms [4]
will make our politicians more accountable, our Parliament more
accessible, and our voting system more representative. Our plan
takes bold climate action [5], by embracing the solutions that we
already know work, encouraging research into those we have yet to
discover, and increasing the taxes paid by corporate polluters.

Green Members of Parliament, united by this vision for Canada, will
work on behalf of you, your family, and your community. If you would
like to help us grow, I would encourage you to visit our website [6],
where you sign up to volunteer [7] or make a donation [8].

Thank you again for your interest in the Green Party.

Nous vous remercions d’avoir contacté le Parti vert du Canada. En
raison de la grande quantité de courriels, nous ne pouvons garantir
que toutes les demandes seront traitées. Nous ferons notre possible
pour répondre à toutes les demandes selon le nombre d’employés et
les ressources dont nous disposons.

Entre temps, vous pouvez trouver la réponse à votre question en
consultant la publication Vision verte [9], un document qui définit
notre plan d’action pour faire avancer le Canada et pour défendre
les valeurs et les principes pour construire le pays que nous aimons.

Notre plan d’action économique [10] investit dans les gens et crée
de bons emplois. Nous investirons dans les infrastructures, en
éducation et dans les soins de santé pour soutenir des
collectivités fortes [11]. Notre proposition quant à une réforme
démocratique [12] rendra nos politiciens plus responsables, notre
Parlement plus accessible et notre système électoral plus
représentatif. Notre plan d’action prend des mesures vigoureuses
sur le réchauffement climatique [13] en adoptant les solutions qui,
selon nos connaissances, fonctionnent, en encourageant la recherche
dans des secteurs à découvrir et en augmentant les taxes et les
impôts payés par les entreprises pollueuses.

Les députés verts à la Chambre des communes, unis par cette vision
pour le Canada, travailleront en votre nom, celui de votre famille et
de votre collectivité. Si vous voulez nous aider à poursuivre notre
avancée, nous vous encourageons à consulter notre site web [14] où
vous pouvez donner votre nom comme bénévole [15] ou faire un don
[16].

Merci encore une fois de démontrer votre intérêt envers le Parti
vert.

Etobicoke voters are a weird bunch. Their devotion to anyone named Ford is a given.
That's how we ended up with the likes of Rob, Doug, Michael, and maybe now, Renata. Scandals, embarrassments, addictions and ineptitude don't seem to stop them from getting elected. Don't count her out

Renata Ford will be a candidate for Maxime Bernier's People's Party of Canada

Wife of controversial late former Toronto mayor Rob Ford will seek election in Etobicoke, Ont.



Renata Ford, the wife of late former Toronto mayor Rob Ford and sister-in-law of Ontario premier Doug Ford, is running as a candidate for Maxime Bernier's People's Party of Canada in the October federal election, CBC News has confirmed.

Ford officially announced she is the PPC candidate for Etobicoke North on Friday at a party event in downtown Toronto.

"After a period of trials and tribulations, I'm healthier, and I'm more ready than ever," she told a crowd gathered at the Royal Canadian Military Institute. "The time is right for me now to run to be a member of Parliament."


She was introduced as one of 39 candidates the party will put forward to voters in the Greater Toronto Area in the fall campaign, and was the only party member granted time at the podium after Bernier and the event's MC.

Speaking to reporters, Bernier said Ford approached his team and decided to run.


PPC leader Maxime Bernier says Renata Ford will bring her "common sense" to the party. (Tina Mackenzie/CBC)


She would bring "common sense," and her ability to work with people to the party,  Bernier said.

Alongside her support for Bernier's push to lower taxes, Ford explained the personal reason behind her decision: "I found that Bernier is passionate, just as much as my husband was, on the real issues that concern Canadians, and he's not afraid to stand up."

A candidate biography provided by the party described Ford as a "primary contributor" to Rob Ford's time at city hall, from handing out fridge magnets with their home phone number and fielding calls, to helping organize the popular Ford Fest events.

Indeed, from 2010 to 2014, Ford stood by her late husband throughout his tumultuous term as mayor, but kept a low profile as he gained international notoriety for substance abuse, including his stunning 2013 admission that he had smoked crack cocaine.

In recent years, she also made headlines of her own.

Sentenced for impaired driving


After pleading guilty to impaired driving in 2018, Ford was sentenced to three years of probation and 100 hours of community service — and also issued a two-year driving ban and a $1,100 fine — for a 2016 incident.

She also launched a multimillion-dollar lawsuit last year against her brothers-in-law Doug and Randy Ford and their family businesses, claiming she and her children were bilked out of millions of dollars.

Ford said her run isn't about needing money, but confirmed to CBC News that the lawsuit was still making its way through the court system.

When it was first filed, the Ontario premier, who was then just PC leader, told reporters he was "shocked" by the allegations, which came out shortly before the June provincial election.
"Our family has always stood behind the kids, always stood behind Renata, we never wavered," he said.
As CBC News reported last July, court documents revealed her growing cash crunch while pursuing the lawsuit.

Sworn financial statements filed in family court as part of an estate proceeding said Ford had to take out a nearly $200,000 second mortgage at a steep interest rate of 12.5 per cent.

When asked for comment on Friday, a spokesperson for Premier Ford's office said: "The premier wishes every candidate good luck in the upcoming federal election."

Renata Ford is also the aunt of Toronto councillor Michael Ford, who issued a similar comment about the election not including his aunt's name.

"I will not be supporting any one individual's candidacy in Etobicoke North," he said. "I do, however, look forward to working with whoever is elected on Oct. 21."

Waste of money investigating. They will not be charged with anything. If they are held accountable then that would be a different story.

Sure. Waste hundreds of thousands of taxpayer dollars on an investigation that will NEVER bear fruit! We have spent hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of dollars over the years, investigating this, or probing that, and not ONCE have charges ever been laid, or even ONE politician sent to jail.
STOP wasting MY money on these worthless "investigations". No one is ever going to answer for it. This is nothing but political posturing. They'll spend OUR money and ALL that will happen is that one side will look a little bit better, and the other a little bit worse. One week after the results are released, NOTHING will have changed, and everyone will have forgotten this and moved on to the next scandal.

"A Liberal representative did not appear on the podcast." No big surprise there. When it comes to their past sins NB Liberals seem to want to pretend they've never heard of Shawn Graham or Brian Gallant.
The new Liberal motto (courtesy of Sgt. Shultz) when it comes to the actions of previous Liberal governments seems to be "I know nothing!!"



Richard Dunn 
Reply to @Graeme Scott: Agreed.....and the new Sargent Kevin Vickers seems to be missing in action. He needs to clean house in his party.....but seems afraid to.
Gallant, Rogers, Melanson, Harris and more need to be shown the door.

The City of Saint John has been mismanaged and neglected for years , so no doubt they needed the money . Brian Gallant's Liberal govt. was in crisis mode , and was looking to buy votes in the greater Saint John area after FOUR YEARS OF NEGLECT ; so they gave the city a bail out in hopes of winning more support at the polls . An investigation would just be a waste of time and money as NO ONE in govt. is ever held accountable . It is what it is .

People's Alliance to reflect on successes, challenges during AGM

Leader Kris Austin is proud of what his party has accomplished so far but will push for 'language fairness'



The People's Alliance will celebrate its successes, review its challenges and discuss its vision at its annual general meeting in Fredericton this weekend, says party leader Kris Austin.

He says he's proud of what his party has accomplished in the past nine months, since he won his seat in the Sept. 28 provincial election and brought in MLAs Michelle Conroy and Rick Desaulniers with him.

He cites securing an extra $1 million for the auditor general's budget, eliminating the requirement for front licence plates and reducing the frequency of annual motor vehicle inspections to only after three years for new vehicles and every two years for older models as examples.

"You know, we had a choice last fall when we defeated the Gallant Liberals and I sided with the [Progressive] Conservatives — we had a choice to either remain in perpetual opposition and accomplish little to nothing or, you know, try to strike that balance where we can have a seat at the table with the government and get some of our ideas and the platform items advanced."
Austin, Conroy and DeSaulniers formed an alliance with the Progressive Conservatives, the party closest to them on the ideological spectrum, to vote as a bloc to defeat Brian Gallant's Throne Speech, which allowed Blaine Higgs to become premier with only 22 of 49 seats and just 32 per cent of the popular vote.

The People's Allance committed to an 18 month alliance. "That's barring, you know, the government not doing anything stupid," said Austin.

"I mean if, you know, the Higgs government comes out and put something in the budget that they know we simply can't agree with or can't support, then so be it. But barring that, look, we're here to work with them as much as possible and move the province forward."

Seeking 'language fairness'


Pushing for "language fairness" and tax reform remain high on his list, he said.

Austin previously pushed the Tories and Medavie to come up with a mechanism for hiring more unilingual paramedics for permanent, full-time jobs. About 50 have been hired, he said.

Now he wants to see the Official Languages Act amended next session to eliminate the bilingual requirement for paramedics.

"We respect the right of both languages, both people in the province, French and English, to receive service in their language of choice. We just want to see it implemented in a more reasonable and practical way."
Louis Robichaud said years ago when he implemented bilingualism that no unilingual should be at a disadvantage when it comes to employment because of bilingualism. But that's exactly what we've got today. And we're here to change it.- Kris Austin, People's Alliance leader
He said he's heard from many civil servants, including paramedics and nurses, who are frustrated about being denied employment or seniority because of language requirements.

In some cases, those requirements "don't make sense," he said. Advanced paramedics, for example, are usually second to arrive on scene, not the first, so bilingualism should not be "a major requirement," he argued.

"Louis Robichaud said years ago when he implemented bilingualism that no unilingual should be at a disadvantage when it comes to employment because of bilingualism. But that's exactly what we've got today. And we're here to change it."

The province is also facing shortages of some professionals, such as nurses, noted Austin. He contends language requirements make it even more difficult to recruit and retain.

"So it's kind of a human resource issue on top of the language issue as well. So we're just looking for some balance."


Information Morning - Fredericton
How have things changed with the People's Alliance party since the election?


00:0016:29


We check in with People's Alliance leader Kris Austin as he prepares for the party's AGM this weekend. He says "in a minority situation it's a constant give and take". 16:29


Austin credit's his party's "give and take" approach with making some inroads on other important files, such as a 30 per cent reduction of glysophate spraying along NB Power lines.

The People's Alliance called for a complete ban in its campaign, but a 30 per cent cut is "significant," he said.

And while the party supported the government in lifting the moratorium on fracking in the Sussex area, he believes the Tories would have lifted it across the province if they had a majority government. "We weren't prepared to go that far."

This way, the Sussex area, which is held by a PC member, will serve as a test pilot to gauge public response.

"Again, we're there to strike that balance," he said.

"We're going to keep fighting for the things that we've campaigned for, we're not backing down. But at the same time, we have to be able to work with the government if we're going to accomplish anything."

Austin is optimistic. His party is still "learning the ropes" of the legislative process, but has been able to hire staff to help with research and communications, as well as a part-time secretary with the extra funding that came with winning three seats in the legislature, he said.

"It's been a huge boost."

And 25 people from across the province have offered to sit on the party's board, which only consists of 16 members. "So that shows that, you know, we're certainly growing and getting new interests involved," said Austin. "It's exciting."

The party's AGM will be held at the Fredericton Inn on Saturday. Members of the public are invited to a meet and greet Friday night.

If you actually read the story it does not say anyplace that Horizon Health is short funded. Meaning the money for those 200 nurses exists within the operating budget, just that Horizon Health can't be bothered to hire them.
It then goes on to blame the government for ending a $7.3 Million a year contract with the universities in 2005 (14 years ago) that the universities did not deliver on. It does not tell us why charges were not laid for fraud.
All in all the story is carefully crafted to make the government look bad.

Not once, in the article, did Horizon Health claim they were short funded. In fact, government departments operate on a budget. They are assigned X number of dollars, to spend as they see fit, the claim is they can't hire anybody, not that they are short funded.

Because nursing is mostly female occupation even though more men are coming on board Hospitals face far different challenges...I know of 1 female nursing graduate that just wants to get on full time for the benefits then immediately get pregnant so she can take a year off...Now that helps that hospital immensely does it not....The dedication is not there with recent graduates and the public is paying for it dearly.

Sounds like the Province is having the same problem in recruiting Nurses as they have had in recruiting Substitute Teachers . Some School districts have reduced the qualifications of a Substitute teacher down to having a High School Diploma , and then being given a local permit to teach . If the Province wants qualified professional staff , then they need to start giving more pay , benefits and seniority to their casual Nurses and Teachers ; and do away with nepotism in the hiring process .

The budget for educational assistants (EAs) for students with special needs at schools in the southeastern part of the province is about $2 million short.

Earlier this week, the district education council decided not to pass the budget "because they can't approve a deficit budget and I can't run a deficit budget," said Gregg Ingersoll, district superintenden


Officials are now scrambling to find the money.

"You have so much money to work with. And if you can't make it work, then you have to make some changes and make some decisions to make it work," he said.

"If no new resources come into the system, then we'll have to take a look at what we're doing and try to, you know, streamline some things we're doing, prioritize."

'Crucial' to inclusive system


Ingersoll said EAs are "crucial" to New Brunswick's inclusive education system, but funding hasn't kept pace with the growing need over the past couple of years.

The district anticipates it will need about 472 EAs in September, he said.

That's up from about 450 this past school year and 437 the previous year.

The Department of Education and Early Childhood Development did not respond to a request from CBC News Wednesday for an interview.

In an emailed statement Thursday morning, Minister Dominic Cardy said school districts are provided with a global budget.

"It is up to them to decide how to allocate their funds."

Ingersoll said a greater number of students who require assistance are entering the school system each year than the number leaving.
We feel it's going to be challenging for us to make that up.- Gregg Ingersoll, Anglophone East superintendent
This year, for example, 14 Grade 12 students with EAs are graduating, while 35 children with special needs are starting kindergarten.

"So that's a difference of 21 right there," he said, not including any students entering the system from out of province.

Some classrooms with about 20 students have as many as four educational assistants to ensure the students with special needs get the one-on-one attention they require and that the learning of other students isn't disrupted.

"You have to have [educational assistants] and they do a wonderful job of supporting the students and making everything flow," he said. "But as you can see, the number is growing and growing and growing and as long as you have the funding, that's one thing, but if you don't have the funding, it's just challenging to make sure that we make it all work."

Information Morning - Moncton
The Anglophone East School District is short on cash to hire education assistants
00:0007:50

The Anglophone East School District doesn't have enough money to hire the education assistants it needs for the coming school year. The budget is nearly two million dollars short. Gregg Ingersoll is the superintendent of the Anglophone East School District. He joined Jonna Brewer. 7:50
 
The district faced a funding shortfall for EAs last year too, but it was able to move money around within its global budget to cover it.

The budget for staff salaries, which is the largest line item, usually provides some flexibility, said Ingersoll.

The district also received some extra funding last September because of increased enrolment.

"So that kind of helped us out last year. And we're anticipating that's probably going to happen again this year because our forecasting for the Atlantic immigration strategy is forecasting a lot of growth for the Moncton area," he said.

This year, the gap is too big, said Ingersoll.

"We feel it's going to be challenging for us to make that up."

It sounds like the education system has become a BOTTOMLESS PIT in which to throw taxpayer cash . The article mentions that some classrooms of 20 students can have up to FOUR EAs , plus they have the teacher . Govt. should be providing essential services , and not be used as a MAKE WORK PROJECT . The student population has dropped heavily province wide over the last 20 years , yet the school system seems to be on a hiring blitz . Is it any wonder that the prov. debt has doubled to over 14 BILLION over the last TEN years when this type of wild out of control spending is going on......something needs to change !

Reply to @Matt Steele: you are forgetting that the raise of special needs students has risen. Eas are hired to help with those needs.
 
 
Reggie Sinclair 
Reply to @Matt Steele: You obviously don’t understand the system, so let me try to explain in simple terms. You have a train with 2 engines up front, pulling a load of 100 small cars which is the maximum they were designed for. You add an extra 20 BIG, HEAVY cars to the line. The 2 engines rev up, struggle, but are capable of pulling the load with the extra effort. You add another 20 more cars to the line. These 20 are even BIGGER and HEAVIER then the last 20! The 2 engines rev up more, and are still able to pull, but the stress on the motors is obvious and definitely not sustainable; they were not designed for that kind of load and going to blow soon. The 2 options are to remove the extra cars (which isn’t really an option, otherwise the cars don’t go anywhere), or add an extra engine up front to spread the load. Those EAs are the engines.

Reply to @Reggie Sinclair: ......or maybe the EAs sit at the back of the classroom looking at , and texting , on their personal phones ; and do next to NOTHING OTHER THAN TO COLLECT A PAYCHECK . Maybe it is you who does not understand !

Reply to @Matt Steele: BINGO. Lots of Daycare staff in the school system as EA's that have minimal training in Mental Disabilities (man made or just biological) and in some cases none at all.
 
 
Al Hubble 
Reply to @Matt Steele: That is the most ignorant and unsubstantiated statement I have seen on here in some time. Most EAs work very hard at their jobs and are greatly appreciated by the teachers in the classrooms. If it wasn't for the EAs a lot of classrooms would be chaos and absolutely no learning would take place. Have you considered that the problem may be the idea of "full inclusion". I am sure a different model could be a lot more effective, both financially and in the terms of every student getting a proper education. P.S. No, I am not directly involved with the school system. just an outsider with a bit of common sense, looking in.
 
 
Matt Steele 
Reply to @al hubble: .....If you are not directly involved in the Education system , then it is doubtful that you have any idea what is going on in the classrooms . If you were aware of what is going on in the classrooms , then you would know that it is the teachers who are responsible for classroom management and teaching ; not EAs . Many classrooms are in chaos regardless of how many EAs are sitting at the back of the class , and streaming caused by FI and inclusion is the problem . The teachers are overwhelmed ; and hiring endless EAs is NOT THE SOLUTION !

It is doubtful if an investigation will reveal anything that is not already obvious . Brian Gallant and his SANB advisers went on a FOUR YEAR SPENDING SPREE with absolutely no regard for the taxpayers money . Gallant treated taxpayers cash like his own personal piggy bank ; and when he seen power slipping from his grasp , he tried to BUY THE ELECTION by giving the City of Saint John a 23 million dollar bailout after four years of neglect . When you look at Gallants excessive international travel , the property tax scam , the Francophonie Games Scam , the Saint John Bailout Out Scam , and the wild out of control hiring of all his personal friends and Liberal supporters ; then it seems clear that Gallant was acting in HIS OWN BEST INTERESTS 


Emilien Forest 
Reply to @Matt Steele: Yea, the Liberals gave 23 million to the Loyalist.

Brian Gallant is hiding, Cathy Rogers is telling people to look away, and Roger Melanson is stalling in holding a hearing. The corruption, deceit and general lack of qualifications, within the liberal party continue.
The three of them are guilty and need to resign.

NB is a corrupt province no matter which party is in power! Come to think of it, most governments are corrupt and it is really getting rather sickening!


Harold Benson

Alison Jackson 
Reply to @Harold Benson:
You could have the best line up for sainthood elected into power, totally supported by a 100% vote count in who's ever favor it is, and still people will complain about who is in power.
Did it ever don on people that it's not always the politicians fault as it more often is a corporation behind holding the politician hostage? NB has an oligarchy in place that is headquartered in Saint John (well, Bermuda if anyone wants to actually hold them accountable) who probably are behind the scenes in this. I'd look there first.



David R. Amos   
Reply to @Laurie Clark: Obviously I wholeheartedly Agree Methink everybody knows thats why I ran for public office 6 times this far and sued the Queen, The Taxman a Cardinal and more lawyers and law firms than most folks can name N'esy Pas?


Debi Mcdonald 
Reply to @Laurie Clark: What is even more sickening is Federally and provincial levels, we the taxpayer have no say or power to do anything that has been going on for the past 10 years and that is being kind. All we have is every 4 years vote the party out. Much more accountability has to become the new norm. Millions of dollars just disappear without any records. How can that be in 2019 ?

A full accounting of the $22.8 Million would be prudent, imo.

The one I like is the software that can amplify miniscule visible vibrations in objects in videos, and convert them to audio signals. For instance when someone is talking, the bag of chips on the table in front of them will react to the varying pressure of the soundwaves. Video the bag of chips from outside, use the software, and you will have a recording about the quality of Edison's first phonograph recording of "Mary had a little lamb".
That's a scary one. The software is open source.

All that information has monetary value. People will devise ways to get information with or without your permission and they'll take anything. They would happily gather information about how often you are intimate with your spouse because they could sell it. The ability to monitor something so private is coming soon unless of course they can already do that. How often you brush your teeth, whether you floss, the brand of soap you use etc ad infinitum. They want every scrap of information so they can sell you stuff you don't need more effectively.

It's nice that this is in the public sphere so that others can work on technologies to protect people from this kind of intrusion. The real question is once they do, will governments seek to ban the technology as they did with radar detectors.
Of course banning radar detectors has been really effective, and no one ever uses them anymore. Mind you I could be being sarcastic about that.

'If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue'

By Teresa Hanafin, Globe Staff

Good morning! It's Friday, June 28, the 179th day of the year. Sunrise
in Boston was at 5:09 a.m.; sunset will be at 8:25 p.m. for 15 hours
and 16 minutes of sunlight. The waning moon is 17 percent full.


US Senator Kamala Harris's challenge to former VP Joe Biden's comments
about working with segregationists in Congress and his opposition to
federal court-ordered busing got the most attention after the
Democratic debate last night. And Biden seemed unprepared in his
rather rambling answer.

By the way, it will be interesting to see how Biden tries to clean
things up when he speaks this afternoon at Jesse Jackson's Rainbow
PUSH Coalition Convention in Chicago.

And predictably, conservatives almost immediately began attacking
Harris, including by launching a coordinated campaign on Twitter in
which accounts pretended to be black people offended that she would
claim to be black (and all used the exact same wording):

"Kamala Harris is *not* an American black. She is half Indian and half
Jamaican. I'm so sick of people robbing American Blacks (like myself)
of our history. It's disgusting ... These are my people not her
people. Freaking disgusting."

Because, you know, racists would look at Harris throughout her life
and say, "Oh, she has black skin, but she's actually half Jamaican, so
we won't discriminate against her."

For the record, Harris was born in Oakland. Her mother, Shyamala
Gopalan Harris, was a Tamil Indian, a breast cancer scientist who
immigrated to the US from Madras (present-day Chennai) in 1960. Her
father, Donald Harris, is a Stanford University economics professor
who emigrated from Jamaica in 1961 for graduate study in economics at
the University of California at Berkeley.

Progressives in the US House are still fuming today over Speaker Nancy
Pelosi's decision to accept the Senate version of the border funding
bill instead of the House version that had more protections for
migrant kids held in detention and restricted how the Trump
administration could spend the money.

Pelosi tried to add those elements to the Senate bill, but House
moderates threatened to withhold their support if she did. So it's the
Senate bill, with money for the Pentagon to send more soldiers to the
border and no health and care standards for the detention centers,
that goes to Trump for his signature. Vox has a good rundown of the
differences between the bills.

Trump is scheduled to meet with Chinese President Xi Jinping in Osaka
about their ongoing trade war.

I missed this for yesterday's newsletter: The two friends whom writer
E. Jean Carroll told about her alleged rape by Trump immediately after
it happened in the mid-90s have identified themselves and publicly
corroborated her account.

Here's a New York Times podcast interview with the women.

One friend, Lisa Birnbach, an author best known for co-authoring "The
Official Preppy Handbook" in 1980, urged Carroll to go to the police.
The other, Carol Martin, a longtime news anchor for WCBS-TV in New
York, advised Carroll not to tell anyone because she believed that
Trump would use his army of lawyers to make her life hell.

Carroll, who blamed herself for the assault -- as far too many women
do -- stayed silent. Until now.

Mass. Governor Charlie Baker, still in London, meets with US
Ambassador Woody Johnson. Boston Mayor Marty Walsh is at the US
Conference of Mayors annual meeting in Honolulu, Hawaii. I wonder if
they've ever met in say, Albany.

Finally, let's end with Rudyard Kipling's most famous poem, "If—".
Pretty good use of the English language, I'd say.

If you can keep your head when all about you
    Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
    But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
    Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated, don't give way to hating,
    And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise:

If you can dream — and not make dreams your master;
    If you can think — and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
    And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
    Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
    And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools:

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
    And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
    And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
    To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
    Except the Will which says to them: 'Hold on!'

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
    Or walk with Kings — nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
    If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
    With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
    And — which is more — you'll be a Man, my son!

>>>> 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

>>>
>>> I.                    Introduction
>>>
>>> [1]               On September 16, 2015, David Raymond Amos (Mr. Amos)
>>> filed a 53-page Statement of Claim (the Claim) in Federal Court
>>> against Her Majesty the Queen (the Crown). Mr. Amos claims $11 million
>>> in damages and a public apology from the Prime Minister and Provincial
>>> Premiers for being illegally barred from accessing parliamentary
>>> properties and seeks a declaration from the Minister of Public Safety
>>> that the Canadian Government will no longer allow the Royal Canadian
>>> Mounted Police (RCMP) and Canadian Forces to harass him and his clan
>>> (Claim at para. 96).
>>>
>>> [2]               On November 12, 2015 (Docket T-1557-15), by way of a
>>> motion brought by the Crown, a prothonotary of the Federal Court (the
>>> Prothonotary) struck the Claim in its entirety, without leave to
>>> amend, on the basis that it was plain and obvious that the Claim
>>> disclosed no reasonable claim, the Claim was fundamentally vexatious,
>>> and the Claim could not be salvaged by way of further amendment (the
>>> Prothontary’s Order).
>>>
>>>
>>> [3]               On January 25, 2016 (2016 FC 93), by way of Mr.
>>> Amos’ appeal from the Prothonotary’s Order, a judge of the Federal
>>> Court (the Judge), reviewing the matter de novo, struck all of Mr.
>>> Amos’ claims for relief with the exception of the claim for damages
>>> for being barred by the RCMP from the New Brunswick legislature in
>>> 2004 (the Federal Court Judgment).
>>>
>>>
>>> [4]               Mr. Amos appealed and the Crown cross-appealed the
>>> Federal Court Judgment. Further to the issuance of a Notice of Status
>>> Review, Mr. Amos’ appeal was dismissed for delay on December 19, 2016.
>>> As such, the only matter before this Court is the Crown’s
>>> cross-appeal.
>>>
>>>
>>> II.                 Preliminary Matter
>>>
>>> [5]               Mr. Amos, in his memorandum of fact and law in
>>> relation to the cross-appeal that was filed with this Court on March
>>> 6, 2017, indicated that several judges of this Court, including two of
>>> the judges of this panel, had a conflict of interest in this appeal.
>>> This was the first time that he identified the judges whom he believed
>>> had a conflict of interest in a document that was filed with this
>>> Court. In his notice of appeal he had alluded to a conflict with
>>> several judges but did not name those judges.
>>>
>>> [6]               Mr. Amos was of the view that he did not have to
>>> identify the judges in any document filed with this Court because he
>>> had identified the judges in various documents that had been filed
>>> with the Federal Court. In his view the Federal Court and the Federal
>>> Court of Appeal are the same court and therefore any document filed in
>>> the Federal Court would be filed in this Court. This view is based on
>>> subsections 5(4) and 5.1(4) of the Federal Courts Act, R.S.C., 1985,
>>> c. F-7:
>>>
>>>
>>> 5(4) Every judge of the Federal Court is, by virtue of his or her
>>> office, a judge of the Federal Court of Appeal and has all the
>>> jurisdiction, power and authority of a judge of the Federal Court of
>>> Appeal.
>>> […]
>>>
>>> 5(4) Les juges de la Cour fédérale sont d’office juges de la Cour
>>> d’appel fédérale et ont la même compétence et les mêmes pouvoirs que
>>> les juges de la Cour d’appel fédérale.
>>> […]
>>> 5.1(4) Every judge of the Federal Court of Appeal is, by virtue of
>>> that office, a judge of the Federal Court and has all the
>>> jurisdiction, power and authority of a judge of the Federal Court.
>>>
>>> 5.1(4) Les juges de la Cour d’appel fédérale sont d’office juges de la
>>> Cour fédérale et ont la même compétence et les mêmes pouvoirs que les
>>> juges de la Cour fédérale.
>>>
>>>
>>> [7]               However, these subsections only provide that the
>>> judges of the Federal Court are also judges of this Court (and vice
>>> versa). It does not mean that there is only one court. If the Federal
>>> Court and this Court were one Court, there would be no need for this
>>> section.
>>> [8]               Sections 3 and 4 of the Federal Courts Act provide
>>> that:
>>> 3 The division of the Federal Court of Canada called the Federal Court
>>> — Appeal Division is continued under the name “Federal Court of
>>> Appeal” in English and “Cour d’appel fédérale” in French. It is
>>> continued as an additional court of law, equity and admiralty in and
>>> for Canada, for the better administration of the laws of Canada and as
>>> a superior court of record having civil and criminal jurisdiction.
>>>
>>> 3 La Section d’appel, aussi appelée la Cour d’appel ou la Cour d’appel
>>> fédérale, est maintenue et dénommée « Cour d’appel fédérale » en
>>> français et « Federal Court of Appeal » en anglais. Elle est maintenue
>>> à titre de tribunal additionnel de droit, d’equity et d’amirauté du
>>> Canada, propre à améliorer l’application du droit canadien, et
>>> continue d’être une cour supérieure d’archives ayant compétence en
>>> matière civile et pénale.
>>> 4 The division of the Federal Court of Canada called the Federal Court
>>> — Trial Division is continued under the name “Federal Court” in
>>> English and “Cour fédérale” in French. It is continued as an
>>> additional court of law, equity and admiralty in and for Canada, for
>>> the better administration of the laws of Canada and as a superior
>>> court of record having civil and criminal jurisdiction.
>>>
>>> 4 La section de la Cour fédérale du Canada, appelée la Section de
>>> première instance de la Cour fédérale, est maintenue et dénommée «
>>> Cour fédérale » en français et « Federal Court » en anglais. Elle est
>>> maintenue à titre de tribunal additionnel de droit, d’equity et
>>> d’amirauté du Canada, propre à améliorer l’application du droit
>>> canadien, et continue d’être une cour supérieure d’archives ayant
>>> compétence en matière civile et pénale.
>>>
>>>
>>> [9]               Sections 3 and 4 of the Federal Courts Act create
>>> two separate courts – this Court (section 3) and the Federal Court
>>> (section 4). If, as Mr. Amos suggests, documents filed in the Federal
>>> Court were automatically also filed in this Court, then there would no
>>> need for the parties to prepare and file appeal books as required by
>>> Rules 343 to 345 of the Federal Courts Rules, SOR/98-106 in relation
>>> to any appeal from a decision of the Federal Court. The requirement to
>>> file an appeal book with this Court in relation to an appeal from a
>>> decision of the Federal Court makes it clear that the only documents
>>> that will be before this Court are the documents that are part of that
>>> appeal book.
>>>
>>>
>>> [10]           Therefore, the memorandum of fact and law filed on
>>> March 6, 2017 is the first document, filed with this Court, in which
>>> Mr. Amos identified the particular judges that he submits have a
>>> conflict in any matter related to him.
>>>
>>>
>>> [11]           On April 3, 2017, Mr. Amos attempted to bring a motion
>>> before the Federal Court seeking an order “affirming or denying the
>>> conflict of interest he has” with a number of judges of the Federal
>>> Court. A judge of the Federal Court issued a direction noting that if
>>> Mr. Amos was seeking this order in relation to judges of the Federal
>>> Court of Appeal, it was beyond the jurisdiction of the Federal Court.
>>> Mr. Amos raised the Federal Court motion at the hearing of this
>>> cross-appeal. The Federal Court motion is not a motion before this
>>> Court and, as such, the submissions filed before the Federal Court
>>> will not be entertained. As well, since this was a motion brought
>>> before the Federal Court (and not this Court), any documents filed in
>>> relation to that motion are not part of the record of this Court.
>>>
>>>
>>> [12]           During the hearing of the appeal Mr. Amos alleged that
>>> the third member of this panel also had a conflict of interest and
>>> submitted some documents that, in his view, supported his claim of a
>>> conflict. Mr. Amos, following the hearing of his appeal, was also
>>> afforded the opportunity to provide a brief summary of the conflict
>>> that he was alleging and to file additional documents that, in his
>>> view, supported his allegations. Mr. Amos submitted several pages of
>>> documents in relation to the alleged conflicts. He organized the
>>> documents by submitting a copy of the biography of the particular
>>> judge and then, immediately following that biography, by including
>>> copies of the documents that, in his view, supported his claim that
>>> such judge had a conflict.
>>>
>>>
>>> [13]           The nature of the alleged conflict of Justice Webb is
>>> that before he was appointed as a Judge of the Tax Court of Canada in
>>> 2006, he was a partner with the law firm Patterson Law, and before
>>> that with Patterson Palmer in Nova Scotia. Mr. Amos submitted that he
>>> had a number of disputes with Patterson Palmer and Patterson Law and
>>> therefore Justice Webb has a conflict simply because he was a partner
>>> of these firms. Mr. Amos is not alleging that Justice Webb was
>>> personally involved in or had any knowledge of any matter in which Mr.
>>> Amos was involved with Justice Webb’s former law firm – only that he
>>> was a member of such firm.
>>>
>>>
>>> [14]           During his oral submissions at the hearing of his
>>> appeal Mr. Amos, in relation to the alleged conflict for Justice Webb,
>>> focused on dealings between himself and a particular lawyer at
>>> Patterson Law. However, none of the documents submitted by Mr. Amos at
>>> the hearing or subsequently related to any dealings with this
>>> particular lawyer nor is it clear when Mr. Amos was dealing with this
>>> lawyer. In particular, it is far from clear whether such dealings were
>>> after the time that Justice Webb was appointed as a Judge of the Tax
>>> Court of Canada over 10 years ago.
>>>
>>>
>>> [15]           The documents that he submitted in relation to the
>>> alleged conflict for Justice Webb largely relate to dealings between
>>> Byron Prior and the St. John’s Newfoundland and Labrador office of
>>> Patterson Palmer, which is not in the same province where Justice Webb
>>> practiced law. The only document that indicates any dealing between
>>> Mr. Amos and Patterson Palmer is a copy of an affidavit of Stephen May
>>> who was a partner in the St. John’s NL office of Patterson Palmer. The
>>> affidavit is dated January 24, 2005 and refers to a number of e-mails
>>> that were sent by Mr. Amos to Stephen May. Mr. Amos also included a
>>> letter that is addressed to four individuals, one of whom is John
>>> Crosbie who was counsel to the St. John’s NL office of Patterson
>>> Palmer. The letter is dated September 2, 2004 and is addressed to
>>> “John Crosbie, c/o Greg G. Byrne, Suite 502, 570 Queen Street,
>>> Fredericton, NB E3B 5E3”. In this letter Mr. Amos alludes to a
>>> possible lawsuit against Patterson Palmer.
>>> [16]           Mr. Amos’ position is that simply because Justice Webb
>>> was a lawyer with Patterson Palmer, he now has a conflict. In Wewaykum
>>> Indian Band v. Her Majesty the Queen, 2003 SCC 45, [2003] 2 S.C.R.
>>> 259, the Supreme Court of Canada noted that disqualification of a
>>> judge is to be determined based on whether there is a reasonable
>>> apprehension of bias:
>>> 60        In Canadian law, one standard has now emerged as the
>>> criterion for disqualification. The criterion, as expressed by de
>>> Grandpré J. in Committee for Justice and Liberty v. National Energy
>>> Board, …[[1978] 1 S.C.R. 369, 68 D.L.R. (3d) 716], at p. 394, is the
>>> reasonable apprehension of bias:
>>> … the apprehension of bias must be a reasonable one, held by
>>> reasonable and right minded persons, applying themselves to the
>>> question and obtaining thereon the required information. In the words
>>> of the Court of Appeal, that test is "what would an informed person,
>>> viewing the matter realistically and practically -- and having thought
>>> the matter through -- conclude. Would he think that it is more likely
>>> than not that [the decision-maker], whether consciously or
>>> unconsciously, would not decide fairly."
>>>
>>> [17]           The issue to be determined is whether an informed
>>> person, viewing the matter realistically and practically, and having
>>> thought the matter through, would conclude that Mr. Amos’ allegations
>>> give rise to a reasonable apprehension of bias. As this Court has
>>> previously remarked, “there is a strong presumption that judges will
>>> administer justice impartially” and this presumption will not be
>>> rebutted in the absence of “convincing evidence” of bias (Collins v.
>>> Canada, 2011 FCA 140 at para. 7, [2011] 4 C.T.C. 157 [Collins]. See
>>> also R. v. S. (R.D.), [1997] 3 S.C.R. 484 at para. 32, 151 D.L.R.
>>> (4th) 193).
>>>
>>> [18]           The Ontario Court of Appeal in Rando Drugs Ltd. v.
>>> Scott, 2007 ONCA 553, 86 O.R. (3d) 653 (leave to appeal to the Supreme
>>> Court of Canada refused, 32285 (August 1, 2007)), addressed the
>>> particular issue of whether a judge is disqualified from hearing a
>>> case simply because he had been a member of a law firm that was
>>> involved in the litigation that was now before that judge. The Ontario
>>> Court of Appeal determined that the judge was not disqualified if the
>>> judge had no involvement with the person or the matter when he was a
>>> lawyer. The Ontario Court of Appeal also explained that the rules for
>>> determining whether a judge is disqualified are different from the
>>> rules to determine whether a lawyer has a conflict:
>>> 27        Thus, disqualification is not the natural corollary to a
>>> finding that a trial judge has had some involvement in a case over
>>> which he or she is now presiding. Where the judge had no involvement,
>>> as here, it cannot be said that the judge is disqualified.
>>>
>>>
>>> 28        The point can rightly be made that had Mr. Patterson been
>>> asked to represent the appellant as counsel before his appointment to
>>> the bench, the conflict rules would likely have prevented him from
>>> taking the case because his firm had formerly represented one of the
>>> defendants in the case. Thus, it is argued how is it that as a trial
>>> judge Patterson J. can hear the case? This issue was considered by the
>>> Court of Appeal (Civil Division) in Locabail (U.K.) Ltd. v. Bayfield
>>> Properties Ltd., [2000] Q.B. 451. The court held, at para. 58, that
>>> there is no inflexible rule governing the disqualification of a judge
>>> and that, "[e]verything depends on the circumstances."
>>>
>>>
>>> 29        It seems to me that what appears at first sight to be an
>>> inconsistency in application of rules can be explained by the
>>> different contexts and in particular, the strong presumption of
>>> judicial impartiality that applies in the context of disqualification
>>> of a judge. There is no such presumption in cases of allegations of
>>> conflict of interest against a lawyer because of a firm's previous
>>> involvement in the case. To the contrary, as explained by Sopinka J.
>>> in MacDonald Estate v. Martin (1990), 77 D.L.R. (4th) 249 (S.C.C.),
>>> for sound policy reasons there is a presumption of a disqualifying
>>> interest that can rarely be overcome. In particular, a conclusory
>>> statement from the lawyer that he or she had no confidential
>>> information about the case will never be sufficient. The case is the
>>> opposite where the allegation of bias is made against a trial judge.
>>> His or her statement that he or she knew nothing about the case and
>>> had no involvement in it will ordinarily be accepted at face value
>>> unless there is good reason to doubt it: see Locabail, at para. 19.
>>>
>>>
>>> 30        That brings me then to consider the particular circumstances
>>> of this case and whether there are serious grounds to find a
>>> disqualifying conflict of interest in this case. In my view, there are
>>> two significant factors that justify the trial judge's decision not to
>>> recuse himself. The first is his statement, which all parties accept,
>>> that he knew nothing of the case when it was in his former firm and
>>> that he had nothing to do with it. The second is the long passage of
>>> time. As was said in Wewaykum, at para. 85:
>>>             To us, one significant factor stands out, and must inform
>>> the perspective of the reasonable person assessing the impact of this
>>> involvement on Binnie J.'s impartiality in the appeals. That factor is
>>> the passage of time. Most arguments for disqualification rest on
>>> circumstances that are either contemporaneous to the decision-making,
>>> or that occurred within a short time prior to the decision-making.
>>> 31        There are other factors that inform the issue. The Wilson
>>> Walker firm no longer acted for any of the parties by the time of
>>> trial. More importantly, at the time of the motion, Patterson J. had
>>> been a judge for six years and thus had not had a relationship with
>>> his former firm for a considerable period of time.
>>>
>>>
>>> 32        In my view, a reasonable person, viewing the matter
>>> realistically would conclude that the trial judge could deal fairly
>>> and impartially with this case. I take this view principally because
>>> of the long passage of time and the trial judge's lack of involvement
>>> in or knowledge of the case when the Wilson Walker firm had carriage.
>>> In these circumstances it cannot be reasonably contended that the
>>> trial judge could not remain impartial in the case. The mere fact that
>>> his name appears on the letterhead of some correspondence from over a
>>> decade ago would not lead a reasonable person to believe that he would
>>> either consciously or unconsciously favour his former firm's former
>>> client. It is simply not realistic to think that a judge would throw
>>> off his mantle of impartiality, ignore his oath of office and favour a
>>> client - about whom he knew nothing - of a firm that he left six years
>>> earlier and that no longer acts for the client, in a case involving
>>> events from over a decade ago.
>>> (emphasis added)
>>>
>>> [19]           Justice Webb had no involvement with any matter
>>> involving Mr. Amos while he was a member of Patterson Palmer or
>>> Patterson Law, nor does Mr. Amos suggest that he did. Mr. Amos made it
>>> clear during the hearing of this matter that the only reason for the
>>> alleged conflict for Justice Webb was that he was a member of
>>> Patterson Law and Patterson Palmer. This is simply not enough for
>>> Justice Webb to be disqualified. Any involvement of Mr. Amos with
>>> Patterson Law while Justice Webb was a member of that firm would have
>>> had to occur over 10 years ago and even longer for the time when he
>>> was a member of Patterson Palmer. In addition to the lack of any
>>> involvement on his part with any matter or dispute that Mr. Amos had
>>> with Patterson Law or Patterson Palmer (which in and of itself is
>>> sufficient to dispose of this matter), the length of time since
>>> Justice Webb was a member of Patterson Law or Patterson Palmer would
>>> also result in the same finding – that there is no conflict in Justice
>>> Webb hearing this appeal.
>>>
>>> [20]           Similarly in R. v. Bagot, 2000 MBCA 30, 145 Man. R.
>>> (2d) 260, the Manitoba Court of Appeal found that there was no
>>> reasonable apprehension of bias when a judge, who had been a member of
>>> the law firm that had been retained by the accused, had no involvement
>>> with the accused while he was a lawyer with that firm.
>>>
>>> [21]           In Del Zotto v. Minister of National Revenue, [2000] 4
>>> F.C. 321, 257 N.R. 96, this court did find that there would be a
>>> reasonable apprehension of bias where a judge, who while he was a
>>> lawyer, had recorded time on a matter involving the same person who
>>> was before that judge. However, this case can be distinguished as
>>> Justice Webb did not have any time recorded on any files involving Mr.
>>> Amos while he was a lawyer with Patterson Palmer or Patterson Law.
>>>
>>> [22]           Mr. Amos also included with his submissions a CD. He
>>> stated in his affidavit dated June 26, 2017 that there is a “true copy
>>> of an American police surveillance wiretap entitled 139” on this CD.
>>> He has also indicated that he has “provided a true copy of the CD
>>> entitled 139 to many American and Canadian law enforcement authorities
>>> and not one of the police forces or officers of the court are willing
>>> to investigate it”. Since he has indicated that this is an “American
>>> police surveillance wiretap”, this is a matter for the American law
>>> enforcement authorities and cannot create, as Mr. Amos suggests, a
>>> conflict of interest for any judge to whom he provides a copy.
>>>
>>> [23]           As a result, there is no conflict or reasonable
>>> apprehension of bias for Justice Webb and therefore, no reason for him
>>> to recuse himself.
>>>
>>> [24]           Mr. Amos alleged that Justice Near’s past professional
>>> experience with the government created a “quasi-conflict” in deciding
>>> the cross-appeal. Mr. Amos provided no details and Justice Near
>>> confirmed that he had no prior knowledge of the matters alleged in the
>>> Claim. Justice Near sees no reason to recuse himself.
>>>
>>> [25]           Insofar as it is possible to glean the basis for Mr.
>>> Amos’ allegations against Justice Gleason, it appears that he alleges
>>> that she is incapable of hearing this appeal because he says he wrote
>>> a letter to Brian Mulroney and Jean Chrétien in 2004. At that time,
>>> both Justice Gleason and Mr. Mulroney were partners in the law firm
>>> Ogilvy Renault, LLP. The letter in question, which is rude and angry,
>>> begins with “Hey you two Evil Old Smiling Bastards” and “Re: me suing
>>> you and your little dogs too”. There is no indication that the letter
>>> was ever responded to or that a law suit was ever commenced by Mr.
>>> Amos against Mr. Mulroney. In the circumstances, there is no reason
>>> for Justice Gleason to recuse herself as the letter in question does
>>> not give rise to a reasonable apprehension of bias.
>>>
>>>
>>> III.               Issue
>>>
>>> [26]           The issue on the cross-appeal is as follows: Did the
>>> Judge err in setting aside the Prothonotary’s Order striking the Claim
>>> in its entirety without leave to amend and in determining that Mr.
>>> Amos’ allegation that the RCMP barred him from the New Brunswick
>>> legislature in 2004 was capable of supporting a cause of action?
>>>
>>> IV.              Analysis
>>>
>>> A.                 Standard of Review
>>>
>>> [27]           Following the Judge’s decision to set aside the
>>> Prothonotary’s Order, this Court revisited the standard of review to
>>> be applied to discretionary decisions of prothonotaries and decisions
>>> made by judges on appeals of prothonotaries’ decisions in Hospira
>>> Healthcare Corp. v. Kennedy Institute of Rheumatology, 2016 FCA 215,
>>> 402 D.L.R. (4th) 497 [Hospira]. In Hospira, a five-member panel of
>>> this Court replaced the Aqua-Gem standard of review with that
>>> articulated in Housen v. Nikolaisen, 2002 SCC 33, [2002] 2 S.C.R. 235
>>> [Housen]. As a result, it is no longer appropriate for the Federal
>>> Court to conduct a de novo review of a discretionary order made by a
>>> prothonotary in regard to questions vital to the final issue of the
>>> case. Rather, a Federal Court judge can only intervene on appeal if
>>> the prothonotary made an error of law or a palpable and overriding
>>> error in determining a question of fact or question of mixed fact and
>>> law (Hospira at para. 79). Further, this Court can only interfere with
>>> a Federal Court judge’s review of a prothonotary’s discretionary order
>>> if the judge made an error of law or palpable and overriding error in
>>> determining a question of fact or question of mixed fact and law
>>> (Hospira at paras. 82-83).
>>>
>>> [28]           In the case at bar, the Judge substituted his own
>>> assessment of Mr. Amos’ Claim for that of the Prothonotary. This Court
>>> must look to the Prothonotary’s Order to determine whether the Judge
>>> erred in law or made a palpable and overriding error in choosing to
>>> interfere.
>>>
>>>
>>> B.                 Did the Judge err in interfering with the
>>> Prothonotary’s Order?
>>>
>>> [29]           The Prothontoary’s Order accepted the following
>>> paragraphs from the Crown’s submissions as the basis for striking the
>>> Claim in its entirety without leave to amend:
>>>
>>> 17.       Within the 96 paragraph Statement of Claim, the Plaintiff
>>> addresses his complaint in paragraphs 14-24, inclusive. All but four
>>> of those paragraphs are dedicated to an incident that occurred in 2006
>>> in and around the legislature in New Brunswick. The jurisdiction of
>>> the Federal Court does not extend to Her Majesty the Queen in right of
>>> the Provinces. In any event, the Plaintiff hasn’t named the Province
>>> or provincial actors as parties to this action. The incident alleged
>>> does not give rise to a justiciable cause of action in this Court.
>>> (…)
>>>
>>>
>>> 21.       The few paragraphs that directly address the Defendant
>>> provide no details as to the individuals involved or the location of
>>> the alleged incidents or other details sufficient to allow the
>>> Defendant to respond. As a result, it is difficult or impossible to
>>> determine the causes of action the Plaintiff is attempting to advance.
>>> A generous reading of the Statement of Claim allows the Defendant to
>>> only speculate as to the true and/or intended cause of action. At
>>> best, the Plaintiff’s action may possibly be summarized as: he
>>> suspects he is barred from the House of Commons.
>>> [footnotes omitted].
>>>
>>>
>>> [30]           The Judge determined that he could not strike the Claim
>>> on the same jurisdictional basis as the Prothonotary. The Judge noted
>>> that the Federal Court has jurisdiction over claims based on the
>>> liability of Federal Crown servants like the RCMP and that the actors
>>> who barred Mr. Amos from the New Brunswick legislature in 2004
>>> included the RCMP (Federal Court Judgment at para. 23). In considering
>>> the viability of these allegations de novo, the Judge identified
>>> paragraph 14 of the Claim as containing “some precision” as it
>>> identifies the date of the event and a RCMP officer acting as
>>> Aide-de-Camp to the Lieutenant Governor (Federal Court Judgment at
>>> para. 27).
>>>
>>>
>>> [31]           The Judge noted that the 2004 event could support a
>>> cause of action in the tort of misfeasance in public office and
>>> identified the elements of the tort as excerpted from Meigs v. Canada,
>>> 2013 FC 389, 431 F.T.R. 111:
>>>
>>>
>>> [13]      As in both the cases of Odhavji Estate v Woodhouse, 2003 SCC
>>> 69 [Odhavji] and Lewis v Canada, 2012 FC 1514 [Lewis], I must
>>> determine whether the plaintiffs’ statement of claim pleads each
>>> element of the alleged tort of misfeasance in public office:
>>>
>>> a) The public officer must have engaged in deliberate and unlawful
>>> conduct in his or her capacity as public officer;
>>>
>>> b) The public officer must have been aware both that his or her
>>> conduct was unlawful and that it was likely to harm the plaintiff; and
>>>
>>> c) There must be an element of bad faith or dishonesty by the public
>>> officer and knowledge of harm alone is insufficient to conclude that a
>>> public officer acted in bad faith or dishonestly.
>>> Odhavji, above, at paras 23, 24 and 28

How a policy dispute between Charlie Baker and Rachael Rollins suddenly turned personal

"We are allowed to disagree with each other, but what you are not going to do is disrespect this office."


Gov. Charlie Baker and Rachael Rollins have purportedly hit the “reset button,” but the Suffolk Country district attorney still thinks there’s something “funny” about the way she — the first woman to hold the Boston-area prosecutor job — has been treated.

The two elected officials clashed over the weekend, after Baker’s top public safety official sent Rollins a letter last week asking her to revise some of her new policies — including not prosecuting certain misdemeanor crimes. In a press conference Friday, the Democratic district attorney shot back at the Republican administration, suggesting that “not everyone gets the benefit of the Baker family,” alluding to groping allegations against the governor’s son last year.

And while both sides say they had a productive phone call Saturday, Rollins has remained critical of what she suggests is sexist treatment from Baker’s office.

“Isn’t it so funny that when all of the male DAs before me had this discretion and were moving towards mass incarceration, the governor did not give a s[***] about that,” she said at an event Sunday.

Here’s what the dispute is about, and why it got so personal this weekend:

The decline-to-prosecute list

Rollins was elected last November on a progressive criminal justice reform platform aimed at reducing racial inequality and mass incarceration. She also received national attention for her campaign pledge to instruct prosecutors not to bring charges, with certain exceptions, for a list of 15 nonviolent offenses.

The crimes on the list included trespassing, shoplifting, larceny under $250, underage possession of alcohol, drug possession, drug possession with intent to distribute, and some cases of resisting arrest.

“The voters knew exactly what the list was,” Rollins told Boston.com in November.

Last month, she made that pledge, among others, official in a 65-page public memo. Rollins, a former federal prosecutor and MBTA legal counsel, wrote that “declination and diversion policy” is a “part of a strategy to achieve two important goals.”
 
“First, to reduce the footprint of the criminal justice system where it served no public safety interest, and second, to allocate more of our prosecution resources to the serious offenses that harm people, families, and the community as a whole,” she wrote.

Baker administration pushback


In a rare rebuke from the Baker administration, Public Safety Secretary Thomas Turco wrote a two-page letter to Rollins last Thursday, expressing concern that her policies “put at risk the commonwealth’s ongoing efforts to combat the ongoing crisis of the opioid epidemic and substantially restrict the government’s ability to protect victims threatened with serious crimes.”

The State House News Service first reported the letter Thursday night.

Protesting Rollins’s policy of not prosecuting the aforementioned drug crimes, Turco said prosecutors should not be prohibited from bringing charges against suspected dealers, if they have sufficient evidence, “simply because the police made an arrest before the sale was fully consummated.” He also objected to a policy of not prosecuting the unlicensed possession of “20, 30, or even 40 pounds of marijuana as a crime,” as Massachusetts rolls out its regulated cannabis market.

Turco also said the Rollins memo’s stances on petty crimes and driving with a suspended license would, respectively, victimize shopkeepers in “economically challenged neighborhoods” and “undermine” the state’s drunk driving laws, “making our roads more dangerous.”

In addition to the list of crimes not to be prosecuted, Turco also took issue with Rollins’s instructions for prosecutors to get supervisor approval before counting defendants’ criminal history beyond the last 36 months, as well as a rule discouraging requests for courts to set certain pre-trial release conditions.


“I appreciate your efforts to think differently about criminal justice, accountability, and public safety,” Turco wrote Thursday, noting that Rollins’s memo was in many ways aligned with the Baker administration’s reform efforts.

“I urge you, however, to review the concerns I have outlined above and to consider appropriate revisions to the memorandum,” he added.

Rollins hits back — hard


The local district attorney did not take lightly to Turco’s intervention in a press conference Friday afternoon, in which she suggested the state official should concentrate on “the things he’s responsible for,” according to The Boston Globe. Rollins reportedly singled out the ever-growing list of scandals embroiling Massachusetts State Police and “terrible water conditions at MCI Norfolk,” the state’s largest prison.

She also defended the list of crimes she was instructing her office not to prosecute, which she said was putting into writing what had been the common practice of her predecessors. Low-level drug charges, driving offenses, and property crimes were 12 percent more likely to be dismissed or diverted than more serious cases in Suffolk County, Rollins wrote in her memo last month.

“They didn’t write it down because it was working really well for certain communities and not for other communities,” she argued Friday, according to the Globe.

Seeking to make a point about how the criminal justice system treats defendants of differing socioeconomic means disparately, Rollins pointedly used Baker’s own family as an example. The Republican governor’s 27-year-old son, A.J., was escorted by police off a flight last June— but not arrested — after a woman accused him of groping her during the trip.

“Candidly, you know, not everyone gets the benefit of the Baker family when they have interacted with the criminal justice system, they don’t get to not get arrested,” Rollins reportedly said Friday. “Most moms that are living in Suffolk County don’t have a one-thousand-dollar lawyer to handle a charge when it’s brought against their son or daughter or loved one.”

When asked to clarify those comments, she added the people who benefit from the current system are “overwhelmingly wealthy.”

“It is really important that you guys understand that there are significant racial disparities in our criminal justice system,” she said.

In response, Lizzy Guyton, a spokeswoman for Baker, told the Globe in an email that the administration “does not engage in personal attacks” and was raising “legitimate public safety concerns.”

“We hope for an ongoing, productive dialogue on the important issues raised by Secretary Turco,” Guyton said.

Reaching a truce?


Rollins’s press conference Friday afternoon resulted in a phone call from Baker the following morning — which both sides described as generally positive.

“I don’t want to damage the partnership,” Baker told reporters later Saturday, calling the conversation “constructive and helpful,” as the Boston Herald reported.

“I want that partnership to be there, and I want it to work,” the governor said. “The good thing about having a 66-page document is it gives everybody a chance to see where somebody is coming from, and I think all of us share the same goal here, which is to recognize and appreciate the fact that the criminal justice system has flaws that need to be dealt with and fixed.”

While Baker said his concerns with Rollins’s policies hadn’t changed, he hoped for a “dialogue” with the district attorney’s office.

“I think we’re going to try and hit the reset button and start again on Monday,” Baker said, noting that he and Rollins have a shared goal of keeping people safe and that state and local law enforcement efforts can sometimes be intertwined.

According to the Globe, Baker was also asked about Rollins’s allusion to the allegations against his son, which were being investigated by federal law enforcement officials.

“I said when the whole thing started that it was a serious allegation and it needed to be independently investigated,” Baker said Saturday. “And I expect that the US attorney, which was the appropriate authority to do that investigation, was the right place for that to get done, and I believe they did what they were supposed to do.”

In turn, Rollins told Globe columnist Adrian Walker that she respected Baker for initiating the “productive” conversation, but also wouldn’t go into detail about what they discussed.

“I have deep respect for him for being the leader he is, and calling me, and I have nothing further to say about the matter,” she said Saturday. “We had a incredibly productive conversation and now it’s time to get to work.”

Rollins did have more to say — about respect


Despite having “deep respect” for the governor, Rollins suggested Sunday that the feeling may not be mutual from Baker’s administration.

“Isn’t it so funny that when all of the male DAs before me had this discretion and were moving towards mass incarceration, the governor did not give a s[***] about that,” Rollins told about 200 supporters at a rally in Dorchester, according to the Globe.

“But miraculously now that this DA wants to end mass incarceration, you want to question the discretion that we have?” she added.

Rollins indicated that she was less upset by the policy disagreement than by Turco’s decision to send to her — and the press — the letter without any prior notice.

“I love criticism,” she said. “We need to start talking with people who don’t agree with us. In fact, I don’t mind the letter that was sent. I don’t like what happened before the letter. … Had the secretary or the governor picked up the phone and spoken to me, sat down and said ‘We disagree with everything you’re saying,’ and then written this letter, you wouldn’t have heard a word from me. We are allowed to disagree with each other, but what you are not going to do is disrespect this office.”

Rollins said there was “no way in hell” that Baker didn’t have knowledge beforehand of Turco’s letter and questioned why anyone was surprised that she was implementing the policies on which she campaigned. She voiced a similar sentiment during her original press conference Friday.

“As your new DA, and the first woman to ever have this job, it has been very apparent to me that the men that were in this position before me were treated with quite a bit more respect,” Rollins reportedly said at the time. “But I didn’t get into this job to make friends, I got into this job to make change.”

According to MassLive, she added that “if people would like to speak to me before they issue a letter, I’m always willing and able to speak to them.”

While she again praised Baker’s leadership Sunday, Rollins gave Turco a reminder.

“Secretary Turco got his job because he knows one person: The governor,” she said, contrasting that number with the more than 185,000 Suffolk County voters who gave her a “mandate” last November.

“I got my job because a majority — to the tune of 80 percent — voted for me to have this job,” Rollins said.

Press Release Governor Baker Announces Departure of Lon Povich, Names
Bob Ross as Chief Legal Counsel
For immediate release:
2/26/2019

    Office of Governor Charlie Baker and Lt. Governor Karyn Polito
    Governor's Press Office

Press Release- Governor Baker

BOSTON — Today, Governor Charlie Baker and Lt. Governor Karyn Polito
announced the departure of Lon Povich as Chief Legal Counsel for the
Office of the Governor. Attorney Bob Ross, current General Counsel at
the Executive Office for Administration and Finance, will assume the
post of Chief Legal Counsel.

Lon Povich managed attorneys across the executive branch as Chief
Legal Counsel and played key roles in crafting significant pieces of
legislation such as last year’s criminal justice reform bill and the
MBTA reform measures passed in 2015. Bob Ross has helped craft the
Baker-Polito Administration’s five state budget proposals and worked
with legislative leaders and administration officials on several major
initiatives, including a review of all Executive Branch agency
regulations, while serving as General Counsel for A&F.

“Lon has served as an integral member of the Governor’s Office since
the start of our Administration, providing invaluable counsel to our
team over the past four years,” said Governor Charlie Baker. “One of
Lon’s signature contributions to our Administration has been the
appointment of 130 members of the judiciary, including 5 members of
the Supreme Judicial Court, which will have an impact on the
Commonwealth for years to come, and I thank Lon for his leadership
over the past four years. Bob Ross has been a key advisor for our
Administration on some of the most pressing issues relating to the
state’s budget and finances, and we congratulate him on this new
position.”

“Lon’s thoughtful guidance has supported our Administration through
the most difficult of situations, including the gas explosions in the
Merrimack Valley,” said Lt. Governor Karyn Polito. “Lon’s wealth of
experience in both the public and private sectors has helped inform
the tremendous advice that he has given our office, and I wish him all
the best.”

“Throughout my last four years in the Governor’s Office, I have been
honored and enthusiastic to work on a team with elected leaders known
for their extraordinary competence, balance, and civility,” said Lon
Povich. “I am very grateful for the opportunity to do complicated
legal, policy, and political analysis on the most important issues
facing the people of the Commonwealth, working alongside dedicated
professionals throughout state government. I offer my sincere
congratulations to Bob Ross, who I am confident will carry on the
tradition of fine lawyers who have had the privilege of serving our
governors as their chief legal counsel.”

“I am grateful to Governor Baker and Lieutenant Governor Polito for
this opportunity to serve their Administration in this important
role,” said Bob Ross. “I am also grateful to Secretary Heffernan and
former Secretary Kristen Lepore for the support and trust they have
placed in me. A&F is a great place to work with a great team, and I am
looking forward to working with the team in the Governor’s Legal
Office to build on the substantial legacy of success that Lon has
entrusted to me.”

About Bob Ross

Since the start of the Baker-Polito Administration, Bob Ross has
served as the General Counsel for the Executive Office for
Administration and Finance under Secretary Kristen Lepore and
Secretary Michael Heffernan. In this role, he has been primarily
responsible for the drafting and review of legislation that has a
fiscal impact on the Commonwealth. He has advised the Secretary and
the Governor on legal issues inherent in the Commonwealth’s finances
and worked closely with the Governor’s Chief Legal Counsel to review
enacted legislation that is presented to the Governor for signature.

Prior to his current position, he was the Bureau Chief for the
Business and Labor Bureau in the Office of Attorney General Martha
Coakley, where he managed five divisions that regulate and enforce the
laws governing businesses in Massachusetts, while simultaneously
working to preserve the state’s dynamic business climate. He
represented the Commonwealth’s interests in litigation stemming from
the closure and subsequent bankruptcy filing of North Adams Regional
Hospital, continuing vital emergency medical services in the
community, and successfully argued the Commonwealth’s case as an
amicus in a False Claims Act case before the First Circuit Court of
Appeals.

Mr. Ross came to the Attorney General’s Office from the Office of the
Senate President, where he worked for more than a decade in various
roles in that Office and the Senate Committee on Ways and Means,
including six and one half years as Chief Policy Advisor for Senate
President Therese Murray.

Before coming to state government, Mr. Ross worked for six years as a
litigation associate in the main office of McGuire Woods, a large law
firm based in Richmond, Virginia. He graduated from Northwestern
University Law School, and did his undergraduate work at the College
of William and Mary in Virginia.

He and his wife live in Wellesley with their three children, ages 14, 12 and 10.

About Lon Povich

As Governor Baker’s Chief Legal Counsel, Lon Povich is responsible for
the broad range of policy and legal matters that come before the
Governor and his senior team.

Prior to joining the Baker administration in January 2015, Lon was
Executive Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary of BJ’s
Wholesale Club, Inc. Lon joined BJ’s in February 2007 after serving
for 11 years as General Counsel at The Boston Consulting Group, a
global strategy firm. At both BCG and BJ’s, Lon had responsibility for
a number of management and operational issues.

Earlier in his career Lon worked as a litigation associate at Goodwin
Procter in Boston; as an Assistant United States Attorney, in the
Economic Crimes Division of the Boston United States Attorney’s
Office; and as Deputy Chief Legal Counsel to Massachusetts Governor
Weld. Lon graduated from Harvard Law School and Dartmouth College
(summa cum laude, Phi Beta Kappa.) After graduation from HLS, he
served as a law clerk to Chief Justice Vincent McKusick of the Maine
Supreme Judicial Court.

Lon has also been active in the community. From 1996 to 2004, he was a
director of MassHousing (Massachusetts’ low income housing finance
agency); and from 2005 until 2010 he served on the Governor’s Judicial
Nominating Commission. Lon also sat on the Board of Directors of the
Greater Boston Food Bank, served on the Board of Greater Boston Legal
Services, as an elected member of the Council of the Boston Bar
Association, and has been involved in a number of local organizations
in Wellesley, MA.  In 2018 he received the Executive Leadership Award
at the Jewish Community Relations Council’s Annual Legislative
Reception, 2018; and in 2014 he received the Good Apple Award for
“demonstrated dedication to public service, fairness and social
justice,” from the Massachusetts Appleseed Center for Law and Justice.

Possible leak related to new fleet might have sparked admiral’s removal
By Bruce Campion-SmithOttawa Bureau Wed., Jan. 18, 2017

"Prime Minister Justin Trudeau also refused to provide any insights
into the decision.

“The chief of defence staff took a decision and this government
supports Gen. Vance in the decision that he took and I have nothing
further to say on this at this time,” Trudeau told reporters during a
stop in Fredericton, N.B."


"Still, Norman’s abrupt removal has sent seismic waves through the
Defence Department and the allegation of leaked classified information
has only added to the shock.

“It’s bred into us from the day we join the military. The rules and
regulations, we’re reminded of it every because of the material we
deal with,” one former officer said Tuesday.

“Everything is classified, even things that are unclassified. That’s
still a classification,” he told the Star.

“Mishandling of classified information, that’s an extremely serious
situation and it gets more serious with the rank that is associated
with it,” he said."

behind Amerka’s and NATO’s skirts.

When I was still in Canadian Forces then Prime Minister Jean Chretien
actually committed the Canadian Army to deploy in the second campaign
in Iraq, the Coalition of the Willing. This was against or contrary to
the wisdom or advice of those of us Canadian officers that were
involved in the initial planning phases of that operation. There were
significant concern in our planning cell, and NDHQ about of the dearth
of concern for operational guidance, direction, and forces for
operations after the initial occupation of Iraq. At the “last minute”
Prime Minister Chretien and the Liberal government changed its mind.
The Canadian government told our amerkan cousins that we would not
deploy combat troops for the Iraq campaign, but would deploy a
Canadian Battle Group to Afghanistan, enabling our amerkan cousins to
redeploy troops from there to Iraq. The PMO’s thinking that it was
less costly to deploy Canadian Forces to Afghanistan than Iraq. But
alas no one seems to remind the Liberals of Prime Minister Chretien’s
then grossly incorrect assumption. Notwithstanding Jean Chretien’s
incompetence and stupidity, the Canadian Army was heroic,
professional, punched well above it’s weight, and the PPCLI Battle
Group, is credited with “saving Afghanistan” during the Panjway
campaign of 2006.

What Justin Trudeau and the Liberals don’t tell you now, is that then
Liberal Prime Minister Jean Chretien committed, and deployed the
Canadian army to Canada’s longest “war” without the advice, consent,
support, or vote of the Canadian Parliament.

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

President George Bush was quite correct after 911 and the terror
attacks in New York; that the Taliban “occupied” and “failed state”
Afghanistan was the source of logistical support, command and control,
and training for the Al Quaeda war of terror against the world. The
initial defeat, and removal from control of Afghanistan was vital and
essential for the security and tranquility of the developed world. An
ISIS “caliphate,” in the Middle East, no matter how small, is a clear
and present danger to the entire world. This “occupied state,”
or“failed state” will prosecute an unending Islamic inspired war of
terror against not only the “western world,” but Arab states
“moderate” or not, as well. The security, safety, and tranquility of
Canada and Canadians are just at risk now with the emergence of an
ISIS“caliphate” no matter how large or small, as it was with the
Taliban and Al Quaeda “marriage” in Afghanistan.

One of the everlasting “legacies” of the “Trudeau the Elder’s dynasty
was Canada and successive Liberal governments cowering behind the
amerkan’s nuclear and conventional military shield, at the same time
denigrating, insulting them, opposing them, and at the same time
self-aggrandizing ourselves as “peace keepers,” and progenitors of
“world peace.” Canada failed. The United States of Amerka, NATO, the
G7 and or G20 will no longer permit that sort of sanctimonious
behavior from Canada or its government any longer. And Prime Minister
Stephen Harper, Foreign Minister John Baird , and Cabinet are fully
cognizant of that reality. Even if some editorial boards, and pundits
are not.

Justin, Trudeau “the younger” is reprising the time “honoured” liberal
mantra, and tradition of expecting the amerkans or the rest of the
world to do “the heavy lifting.” Justin Trudeau and his “butt buddy”
David Amos are telling Canadians that we can guarantee our security
and safety by expecting other nations to fight for us. That Canada can
and should attempt to guarantee Canadians safety by providing
“humanitarian aid” somewhere, and call a sitting US president a “war
criminal.” This morning Australia announced they too, were sending
tactical aircraft to eliminate the menace of an ISIS “caliphate.”

In one sense Prime Minister Harper is every bit the scoundrel Trudeau
“the elder” and Jean ‘the crook” Chretien was. Just As Trudeau, and
successive Liberal governments delighted in diminishing,
marginalizing, under funding Canadian Forces, and sending Canadian
military men and women to die with inadequate kit and modern
equipment; so too is Prime Minister Stephen Harper. Canada’s F-18s are
antiquated, poorly equipped, and ought to have been replaced five
years ago. But alas, there won’t be single RCAF fighter jock that
won’t go, or won’t want to go, to make Canada safe or safer.

My Grandfather served this country. My father served this country. My
Uncle served this country. And I have served this country. Justin
Trudeau has not served Canada in any way. Thomas Mulcair has not
served this country in any way. Liberals and so called social
democrats haven’t served this country in any way. David Amos, and
other drooling fools have not served this great nation in any way. Yet
these fools are more than prepared to ensure their, our safety to
other nations, and then criticize them for doing so.

Canada must again, now, “do our bit” to guarantee our own security,
and tranquility, but also that of the world. Canada has never before
shirked its responsibility to its citizens and that of the world.

Prime Minister Harper will not permit this country to do so now

I talked to Don Newman earlier this week before the beancounters David
Dodge and Don Drummond now of Queen's gave their spin about Canada's
Health Care system yesterday and Sheila Fraser yapped on and on on
CAPAC during her last days in office as if she were oh so ethical.. To
be fair to him I just called Greg Weston (613-288-6938) I suggested
that he should at least Google SOUCOM and David Amos It would be wise
if he check ALL of CBC's sources before he publishes something else
about the DND EH Don Newman? Lets just say that the fact  that  your
old CBC buddy, Tony Burman is now in charge of Al Jazeera English
never impressed me. The fact that he set up a Canadian office is
interesting though

"But Lang, defence minister McCallum's chief of staff, says military
brass were not entirely forthcoming on the issue. For instance, he
says, even McCallum initially didn't know those soldiers were helping
to plan the invasion of Iraq up to the highest levels of command,
including a Canadian general.

That general is Walt Natynczyk, now Canada's chief of defence staff,
who eight months after the invasion became deputy commander of 35,000
U.S. soldiers and other allied forces in Iraq. Lang says Natynczyk was
also part of the team of mainly senior U.S. military brass that helped
prepare for the invasion from a mobile command in Kuwait."

http://baconfat53.blogspot.com/2010/06/canada-and-united-states.html

"I remember years ago when the debate was on in Canada, about there
being weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. Our American 'friends"
demanded that Canada join into "the Coalition of the Willing. American
"veterans" and sportscasters loudly denounced Canada for NOT buying
into the US policy.

At the time I was serving as a planner at NDHQ and with 24 other of my
colleagues we went to Tampa SOUCOM HQ to be involved in the planning
in the planning stages of the op....and to report to NDHQ, that would
report to the PMO upon the merits of the proposed operation. There was
never at anytime an existing target list of verified sites where there
were deployed WMD.

Coalition assets were more than sufficient for the initial strike and
invasion phase but even at that point in the planning, we were
concerned about the number of "boots on the ground" for the occupation
(and end game) stage of an operation in Iraq. We were also concerned
about the American plans for occupation plans of Iraq because they at
that stage included no contingency for a handing over of civil
authority to a vetted Iraqi government and bureaucracy.

There was no detailed plan for Iraq being "liberated" and returned to
its people...nor a thought to an eventual exit plan. This was contrary
to the lessons of Vietnam but also to current military thought, that
folks like Colin Powell and "Stuffy" Leighton and others elucidated
upon. "What's the mission" how long is the mission, what conditions
are to met before US troop can redeploy?  Prime Minister Jean Chretien
and the PMO were even at the very preliminary planning stages wary of
Canadian involvement in an Iraq operation....History would prove them
correct. The political pressure being applied on the PMO from the
George W Bush administration was onerous

American military assets were extremely overstretched, and Canadian
military assets even more so It was proposed by the PMO that Canadian
naval platforms would deploy to assist in naval quarantine operations
in the Gulf and that Canadian army assets would deploy in Afghanistan
thus permitting US army assets to redeploy for an Iraqi
operation....The PMO thought that "compromise would save Canadian
lives and liberal political capital.. and the priority of which
....not necessarily in that order. "

You can bet that I called these sneaky Yankees again today EH John
Adams? of the CSE within the DND?

WITHOUT PREJUDICE

Mr. David Amos

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,

Honourable Michael B. Murphy
Minister of Health

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
the US. 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,

Warren McBeath, Cpl.

some of it is over eight years old and in the PUBLIC Record.

All you have to do is stand in the Legislature and ask the MInister of

Vice-Admiral Mark Norman reaches settlement with government, announces retirement

DND says details of former vice-chief of the defence staff's settlement are 'confidential'

Surprise surprise Trudeau silences another with our money. Canadians see thru this and JT will realize we do in October. 






Ron S. Girardau
Regretfully, Trudeau having bought off Norman, we'll never know [ in the normal traditions of devious Canadian governments ] the truth about the cover-up.  






Aaron Lane .
I certainly hope the settlement for this upstanding servant of Canada is far greater than the $10.5 million the LIberals gave to Omar Khadr






Chris Bowdler  
My Taxes again go to solve a Trudeau fiasco..








Pete Gingras
This is unbelievable. Didn't Trudeau promise complete "transparency" in his government? Yet he uses his majority to shut down every investigation into his dirty deeds. And now, the size of the golden handshake V-A Norman gets is kept secret from the taxpayers stuck with the bill (although I believe he's entitled to every cent he gets). Wow. Just wow. Even the Khadr payoff was reported, albeit no thanks to the Trudeau government. The question now is, does Norman's settlement prevent him from speaking about his ordeal publicly? If so, this must become an election issue that dogs Trudeau daily from now until October 21st. 










Chance Johnstone
 What a disgrace!
Transparency is the last thing this government seeks. I'm also disappointed in Norman, he said he was willing to tell his side of the story... I guess everyone has his price. Enjoy your retirement.



Jamie Gillis 
Reply to @Chance Johnstone:

It's unknown at this point what his settlement forbids him from discussing publicly (except the settlement itself). As for him "having his price," I'd like to hear the full story from him too but his family may just want this affair to be over. That would be certainly understandable.
 
 
Chance Johnstone 
Reply to @Jamie Gillis: All good points, I agree.











Jamie Gillis
No agreements to secrecy will hide this fact: two years ago Trudeau proudly and arrogantly told Canadians at his town halls that he knew VAdm Norman would stand trial - before a charge was even laid. Fast forward to today, and Trudeau is reduced to making secret deals to try spare him further embarrassment just before an election. This case began because Trudeau cried for blood. He's the reason Norman and his family had to go through this nightmare and Trudeau would have happily watched it destroy Norman if it hadn't all blown up in his face.









Jamie Gillis
Comments open almost 24 hours after publishing the story...nice one CBC.

Nobody should be surprised at this outcome. Short of ousting the guy currently in his old job, there are very few positions for a vice-admiral. Trudeau and his mob better be thanking their lucky stars Norman was willing to settle quietly. But after what he and his family have been through, I can't blame him for wanting a discrete conclusion to all this. Still I hope he'll be at liberty to tell his story as he initially said he wanted to do

If protesters were not there drawing a crowd , then most Saint Johner's would not even know that they were in town . Having protests , drawing a crowd , and getting attention from the press ; just gives these groups credibility .

Controversial political party greeted by vocal protesters in Saint John

National Citizens Alliance holds forum outside City Hall after legion cancels its booking

Two members of the National Citizens Alliance were greeted by about 40 protesters, including Mayor Don Darling, during a lunch-hour forum in front of City Hall.

About 15 police officers stood watch as the protesters toted signs bearing slogans, such as "NCA Go Away," and "In Saint John We Love Our Newcomers," and chanted, "Off our streets Nazi scum."


Party leader Stephen Garvey, armed with a bullhorn, fired back. "Read our policies," he shouted over the protesters, who blew whistles in an attempt to drown him out. "The silent majority in Canada are about to wake up."

The National Citizens Alliance, which is based in Calgary, became a registered federal party in January, according to Elections Canada.
The Alliance is calling for a drastic reduction in immigrants to Canada and rescinding the Multiculturalism Act and it opposes hate speech laws and anti-Islamophobia policies. The party also believes climate change is a hoax.

Earlier in the day, the mayor took to social media to denounce the party.

"I want folks to know, that the city has nothing to do with this group," he posted on Twitter. "Their hate filled views are disgusting and I don't want them in our city.

"They serve only to fuel divisive views and hatred. Worse is this political party actually play to these views for votes."

The party's forum was originally planned for the Royal Canadian Legion's Lancaster Branch 69 but was moved to City Hall after the legion cancelled the booking, according to Garvey.

Forums slated for the qplex in Quispamsis Friday evening and at the Golden Jubilee Hall in Sussex on Saturday are expected to proceed as scheduled, unless they get another call, he said.

Some Quispamsis residents have expressed concerns about the group using the town's arena and called for it to be cancelled, but Mayor Gary Clark said the booking of the Moosehead Breweries Conference Centre would stand.

"I personally do not agree with their views but feel it is important that we uphold rights given by Legislation in our Province," he posted on the town's Facebook page.


CBC News New Brunswick
More protesters than party members show up for Saint John political rally

Two National Citizens Alliance members were confronted by 40 protesters with signs and whistles condemning the party's call for a drastic reduction in immigration. 1:10
The New Brunswick Human Rights Act states: "No person, directly or indirectly, alone or with another, by himself, herself or itself or by the interposition of another, shall, based on a prohibited ground of discrimination,
  • a) deny to any person or class of person any accommodation, services or facilities available to the public, or
  • b) discriminate against any person or class of persons with respect to any accommodation, services or facilities available to the public.
"In this case their recognition as a federal political party we believe is protected under the act," wrote Clark.

"Canada and New Brunswick take very seriously the right to free speech and the protection of rights for all Canadians. The Town of Quispamsis has a duty to protect those rights as well, even if we do not agree with the group's political views."
About 40 protesters greeted the National Citizens Alliance at Saint John City Hall. (Shane Fowler/CBC)
He stressed that the town and Moosehead Breweries have no affiliation with the party and that it's a private booking.

If anyone chooses to continue to voice concerns, Clark urged them to do so in a "respectful and peaceful manner."

Several of the Saint John protesters yelled, "See you tonight at the qplex," as they left around 1 p.m.

Who's got the election message Canadians want to hear?

CBC Poll reveals that health care, cost of living and climate change top voters' minds heading into election


Those concerns help explain why the Conservatives continue to focus their pre-campaign messaging on pocketbook issues, attacking the Liberals' carbon-pricing system as a tax on consumers while vowing to reduce emissions by imposing a cap on the largest polluters to finance a green technology fund.

But the poll also suggests Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer still has work to do convincing voters he's in their corner. Just 41 per cent say they believe he understands the average Canadian family.
The findings also point to an opening for the NDP and Green Party heading into the fall election campaign.
Although two-thirds of the respondents believe New Democrats have lost their way, the party remains the second choice among voters younger than 45, and 46 per cent say they believe NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh understands the average Canadian family.

Greens, on the other hand, are seen as the most credible voices on climate change and a third of those surveyed would consider voting Green to send a message to the traditional parties.



NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh, surrounded by fellow party-members, outlined a platform that includes expanded health care during a speech at the Ontario NDP Convention in Hamilton in June. Health care remains a leading issue according to the poll. (Tara Walton/The Canadian Press)

The online poll of 4,500 Canadians was conducted by Public Square Research and Maru/Blue for CBC News between May 31 and June 10.

While polls are considered snapshots in time, subject to change depending on new developments, the themes and conclusions of this survey shed light on how the political parties are faring in their voter outreach and pre-campaign messaging.

"The numbers show the delicate balance the parties need to strike, responding to voters' concern about climate change and their ability to afford day-to-day costs," says CBC polls analyst Éric Grenier.

"It's trickiest for the Liberals, who are trying to appeal to both progressives, who care deeply about fighting climate change, and the broader middle class. A lot of those voters live in the suburbs, so they are worried about the costs of basic things like commuting to work."


Financial anxiety and the middle class


For example, the poll's finding that Canadians remain preoccupied with how they will get by financially is consistent with a survey done by Finance Canada after the 2018 budget.

It found middle-class Canadians didn't feel their lives were getting better, despite the Liberals' unrelenting messaging about "the middle class and those striving to join it."



Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Finance Minister Bill Morneau have positioned their tax and fiscal policies as supporting the middle class "and those working to join it." But a poll for CBC News found anxiety over the cost of living remains top of mind for many Canadians. (Sean Kilpatrick/Canadian Press)

It's the sound bite Trudeau cabinet ministers offer up as they tout the benefits of the government's "middle-class tax cut" and tax benefits focused on families with children and low-income earners.

Still, the Liberals remain undeterred. New French-language ads released just this week resort to the same political messaging: "Justin Trudeau and his team are focused on investing in the middle class."

While health care is always a priority issue in election years, the poll done for CBC finds that Canadians now rank climate change in the top three. Nearly two-thirds of those surveyed say "our survival depends on addressing climate change," or that climate change is "a top priority."


Pessimism on climate action


The Liberals committed to reducing carbon emissions by 30 per cent below 2005 levels at the Paris climate conference four years ago. But many leading climate scientists say they don't believe Canada can reach that target, a sense of pessimism shared by most of those surveyed: two-thirds said the government needs to do more to address climate change.

"We know, just as smoking every pack of cigarettes causes additional health damage, every additional gigatonne of carbon we produce carries an additional cost," said Katharine Hayhoe, the director of the Climate Science Centre at Texas Tech University, in an interview with CBC Radio's The House airing this weekend.
"We need the concrete details. We need people to take this seriously. They [politicians] can disagree over what policy they propose or support. But they have to be serious, meaningful policies with targets and goals to cut our carbon emissions as soon as possible."

The poll also offers some insight into the Conservatives' positioning on climate change. Eight out of 10 respondents said they needed to know the party's position on climate change, and just six per cent of respondents said they don't believe in climate change.



This month Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer delivered a vision for his climate policy that includes a declaration that climate change is real - an acknowledgement that may be important for the voters he needs to attract in October. (Adrian Wyld/Canadian Press)

When party leader Andrew Scheer released his emissions-reduction plan last week, he made a point of saying Conservatives believe climate change is real. And the survey points to what the party must also know — that climate change is a higher-priority issue in British Columbia and Quebec, where the Conservatives must do better this fall than they did in 2015 in order to win.

More than 40 per cent of respondents in those two provinces list climate change as a top-of-mind issue, compared to less than 30 per cent in the three Prairie provinces, where Conservative support is traditionally strongest.

The poll also suggests Canadians are less concerned about other issues championed by the Conservatives in the recent past. Only 18 per cent list deficits as a priority issue — suggesting Scheer's recent decision to scrap his original promise to balance the books in two years might not be an issue in the campaign — and just three per cent point to crime and public safety as a priority.

Perhaps the biggest challenge facing all the parties as they fine-tune their messaging for the fall election is the one that they can do the least about.

The CBC survey suggests Canadians' trust in government is low, with fully nine in 10 saying politicians care more about staying in power than doing what's right.

Commissioned by CBC News, the Public Square Research and Maru/Blue survey was conducted between May 31 and June 10, 2019, interviewing 4,500 eligible voters. Respondents for this survey were selected from among those who have registered to participate in the Maru Voice panel. The data have been weighted to reflect the demographic composition of Canada, according to Statistics Canada. Because the sample is based on those who initially self-selected for participation in the Maru Voice panel rather than a probability sample, no estimates of sampling error can be calculated. However, a comparable probabilistic national sample of 3,000 voters would have a margin of error of +/- 1.8 percentage points, 19 times out of 20, while samples of 500 voters have a margin of error of +/- 4.4 percentage points, 19 times out of 20.

The poll results referenced in this article came from the following questions, with answer options in brackets:

"Please read the following statements about Andrew Scheer and the Conservative party and indicate how strongly you agree or disagree with each. Andrew Scheer understands what the average Canadian family is going through. The Conservative party needs to tell us what their climate change strategy is." (Agree strongly, agree somewhat, disagree somewhat, disagree strongly)

"Please read the following statements about Jagmeet Singh and the NDP and indicate how strongly you agree or disagree with each. The NDP has lost its way. Jagmeet Singh understands what the average Canadian family is going through." (Agree strongly, agree somewhat, disagree somewhat, disagree strongly)

"Please read the following statements about Elizabeth May and the Green party and indicate how strongly you agree or disagree with each. I am thinking of voting Greens to send a message to the traditional parties." (Agree strongly, agree somewhat, disagree somewhat, disagree strongly)

"If you had to say, how serious a problem is climate change?" (Our survival depends on addressing it, it's a top priority, it's important, but not a top priority, it's not a priority but we should do something to protect the environment, I don't believe in climate change)

"Thinking about the upcoming federal election in October specifically, which issues are most concerning to you?" (Health care, climate change, cost of living, jobs/the economy, housing affordability, home ownership, government mismanagement, deficit spending, gun control, nobody to vote for, immigration, terrorism, trade negotiations, rascism, the quality of life in Indigenous communities, women's equality)

"What, if anything, are you most worried about?" (My health/health of a family member, cost of living, climate change, crime and public safety, terrorism, my job/finding a job, immigration, international relations/trade agreements, truth in the media, racism, social inequality, none of these issues worry me)

"Please read the following statements about issues in Canadian politics and indicate how strongly you agree or disagree with each: Politicians care more about staying in power than doing what's right." (Agree strongly, agree somewhat, disagree somewhat, disagree strongly)

Canadians say country split between ordinary folks and elites. But what is an elite?

Canadian politicians have a long history of utilizing the concept for political advantage

This story is part of a series digging into the results of a CBC News-commissioned online poll of 4,500 Canadians ahead of the October federal election.

Between bites of his free hamburger at last Saturday's Ford Fest celebration north of Toronto — an annual barbecue hosted by the family of Ontario Premier Doug Ford — 65-year-old Tony Laino provided a concise answer when asked who he considers the "elites" of society.

"Those that think they're better than me," he said. "Because I don't espouse their beliefs."
That's one definition, anyway.

The label "elites" seems to get flung around the political arena constantly these days. It's become one of the dirty words of politics.

It's also a term that resonates with many Canadians, particularly in an era when political populism seems to be gaining ground. A new CBC poll suggests nearly 80 per cent of Canadians either strongly or somewhat agree with the statement: "My country is divided between ordinary people and elites."

But what exactly does it mean? And why has it gained such traction as a political insult?

Tony Laino, a retired information management consultant, says elites can be defined as 'those that think they're better' than him. (Albert Leung/CBC)
"It's become such an elastic term, it's become useless as a classification," said Sean Speer, a sessional instructor and senior fellow in public policy at the University of Toronto's Munk School of Global Affairs and Public Policy.

As history professor Beverly Gage noted in a 2017 New York Times column, the word is still seen in a positive light when used as an adjective — an elite athlete, for example. But it takes on a nefarious meaning when used as a noun and "has become one of the nastiest epithets in American politics."

It's been used frequently by U.S. President Donald Trump, but it's also been a rallying cry for many Canadian politicians, including Ford and former prime minister Stephen Harper, who would often take shots at the "liberal elite."

Historically, the term "elite" seemed to have a connection to the rich. Politicians of all stripes have often tried to show off their working-class bona fides, regardless of their personal wealth.

In his initial foray onto the political stage, former prime minister Brian Mulroney was branded as the "Boy from Baie Comeau," Que., downplaying his role as president of the Iron Ore Company of Canada, said Tim Powers, vice-chairman of Summa Strategies, who served as the director of policy and research for the Progressive Conservative Party of Canada.

Mulroney's former Liberal rival, Jean Chrétien, who amassed great wealth in the private sector and would also go on to become prime minister, was promoted as the "little guy from Shawinigan."
"So it's always been there," Powers said. "I think the right really co-opted it with more vigour under Stephen Harper."

'We want to look average'


Powers said by 2006, when the Conservatives under Harper were trying to unseat Prime Minister Paul Martin, the party had done a lot of research looking at how people identified themselves.

In an appeal to the middle class, he said, the Conservatives ran a series of what can be described as low-budget commercials.

"The whole plot point of those commercials, as I recall hearing the rationale behind the advertising, was, 'We want to look average. So, not elite. We want to contrast ourselves to Paul Martin, the shipping magnate."

The term, or concept anyway, would continue to be used to score political points. Another of Harper's Liberal opponents, Michael Ignatieff, was portrayed as an out-of-touch elitist in the 2011 federal election.

Current Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has had to deflect barbs from the Tories about being a "trust fund baby."
"It's been pretty commonplace because most people would prefer to self-identify as being with the 'us' as opposed to the 'them,' because the 'them' are the elites and the people who get an advantage," Powers said.

He suspects the increased potency of going against the so-called elite in recent years comes from the reaction of people who have "drank the populist elixir" for their concerns about globalism, economic inequality, and being left out of jobs and opportunity.

"I think it's become more and more politically valuable to talk about elitism," he said, "because it also now means you recognize there is an advantage afforded to elites that wasn't there before."
The same CBC poll suggests 52 per cent of Canadians either strongly or somewhat agree with the statement: "The government doesn't do anything for me."

Speer, who was the research assistant on Harper's book Right Here, Right Now: Politics and Leadership in the Age of Disruption, suggested one segment of the population feels particularly ignored by the political system — people without a post-secondary education.

And populist politicians like Trump have been able to tap into their frustrations and fuel the divide, he said.

Nothing to do with money


But Speer believes the results of the CBC survey may reflect a confusion about what's happening in this country.

"I think people would be shocked to discover where they fit in the broader Canadian society," he said. "A significant number of them, based on income status, would be quote, unquote elite."
However, that's where the subjectivity of the term comes into play. Would "elite" not apply to the same wealthy politicians like Ford and Trump who use it to disparage their opponents?

Laino, the Ford Fest attendee and a retired information management consultant, says no. It doesn't have to do with money.

"Donald Trump is a super wealthy guy and he's not an elite by any means," he said. "It's attitude."
Ford made similar comments when asked to define the term while appearing on CBC's Metro Morning in March 2018.

"People that look down on the common folk, the people that think they're smarter than other people ... they just think they're better, they're smarter, and they can tell the common folk how to live their lives," he said. "And they drink their little bottle or glass of champagne with their pinky up in the air. That's what an elite is."

Elitism has nothing to do with money, Ford said. "Half of them don't have two pennies to rub together. They think they're something that they aren't."

But Amanda Galbraith, a principal with the public strategy and communications firm Navigtor Ltd., said the word may actually be losing some of its political punch.

"I do think it's kind of reached the point now where it is sort of white noise, because who defines elites? Everybody's using the term."

Everybody and his dog knows that I am no fan of Trump or the Irving Clan but to be fair I must ask how on earth was the De Adder "cartoon" remotely funny? I would not wish to be associated with the arsehole and would have fired him too
