Mr. Amos,

Did you know that they eat puffins in Iceland?? Puffins!

Full disclosure: I have a cat named Puffin but she is (a) not from
Iceland; (b) does not eat puffins; (c) has no discernible central
nervous system - though I guess that is my cross to bear, as a
responsible cat owner, and not yours, as a public nuisance.

Did you enjoy your butter tart substitute? I was expecting a thank you
note but then I realized you were likely very busy suing the
government of Rwanda for using the wrong sort of hand cream or
something equally important.

Sincerely,

Dominic

2 PC ministers slammed Higgs's land acknowledgment policy

In internal email, Jill Green and Dominic Cardy said policy makes government appear racist

Jacques Poitras· CBC News · Posted: Oct 25, 2021 2:43 PM AT

Early Childhood Minister Dominic Cardy and Transportation and Infrastructure Minister Jill Green took a brief stand against a new policy that forbids provincial employees from making Indigenous land acknowledgments. (CBC)

Two Progressive Conservative cabinet members strongly criticized the Higgs government's new policy on land acknowledgements, saying it could create a perception the government is racist.

In an internal email Oct. 15, Transportation and Infrastructure Minister Jill Green and Education and Early Childhood Minister Dominic Cardy urged Premier Blaine Higgs to withdraw the policy and apologize for it.

"The memo sent to all GNB employees on Thursday, October 14, has added an unnecessary conflict that is creating confusion and justifiable anger toward our government," Green and Cardy wrote in the email obtained by CBC News.

But they backed down within hours after an urgent meeting with the premier, according to a second email.

The new policy bans government officials from acknowledging that New Brunswick sits on "unceded" and "unsurrendered" Indigenous land.

The two ministers wrote in their first email that they saw "no plan" to improve the relationship with First Nations and said the memo, and other government moves, "raise questions about our sincerity, our competence, and whether we are the racists our opponents claim."

Premier Blaine Higgs said the two ministers had 'overreacted' to the new policy and were 'apologetic' after the meeting with him. (Government of New Brunswick/YouTube)

In another passage, they said government moves like the new policy "create the impression of a government intentionally reinforcing racist behaviour."

The ministers sent the email to the premier just before 4 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 15. It was addressed to Higgs and was copied to his chief of staff Louis Leger, clerk of the executive council Cheryl Hansen and all PC MLAs.

The criticism prompted an immediate meeting with Higgs and his deputy minister of strategic initiatives and communications Nicolle Carlin, according to the second email.

Shortly after 6 p.m. the same day, Green and Cardy thanked Higgs "for the productive meeting … and for understanding and listening to our concerns."

In the second email they tell Higgs they "share your commitment to build a new relationship with First Nations and the need for a strategy to broaden the conversation beyond a purely legal focus."

N.B. employees told to stop making Indigenous title acknowledgments, but won't face repercussions if they do

New Brunswickers turn to social media to defy provincial directive around Indigenous land titles

They also refer twice to the need to work together, and they invited Higgs to set aside time at the next PC caucus meeting "to share your vision for a province where all citizens, no matter their backgrounds, feel a part of one New Brunswick."

Green said the meeting with Higgs was "very heated" but satisfied her.

"We were all able to be heard and talk about our concerns, and talk about the balance between the legal suits and the human side of things, and how it's important for us to try to recognize both in our pathway forward. … It was a very good discussion."

She said in an interview she was concerned the memo would create "confusion" among her departmental staff and would also hurt her ability to deal with St. Mary's First Nation in her Fredericton North riding.

The reference to a perception of racism "was an echoing of what I'd been hearing in messages from my constituents and others around me," she said.

In a memo leaked earlier this month, New Brunswick Attorney General Ted Flemming said the policy against title acknowledgments followed advice from lawyers for the government. (Joe McDonald/CBC)

Cardy, whose Fredericton West-Hanwell riding includes Kingsclear First Nation, said he was hearing the same thing.

He said the second email wasn't a retraction of his criticisms but a way of telling the PC caucus that Higgs had followed up.

"Something that I've always admired about him is a tolerance for discussion, dissent and debate," Cardy said.

Higgs said in an interview that Green and Cardy had "genuine concerns" and he didn't insist they fall in line or resign.

But he also said they had "overreacted" to the new policy and were "apologetic" after the meeting with him.

"There was certainly a regret that the letter was sent."

Higgs's office also released a detailed response from Aboriginal Affairs Minister Arlene Dunn in which she said recent land title litigation, "by its very nature, implies something is broken" but said there is a plan to improve the relationship.

Officials have been reviewing all Indigenous initiatives to ensure they comply with the law and respect First Nations' rights to set the stage for new discussions, she said.

"I am pleased to report that this process is nearing completion."

This is an enormously complicated file with all kinds of elements around it that are just starting to to be discussed

- Dominic Cardy, minister

She said while some decisions in the early part of the review "are difficult or uncomfortable," they would allow the province to create "a solid foundation" for a better relationship in the future.

Green said in an interview she hadn't been aware of the breadth of that review.

"Do we each know everything about each other's files? No. And her email was fantastic. It's a great summary of all the work that's ongoing … I didn't know all of everything, so I'm definitely glad she sent that to us."

Cardy said he was familiar with Dunn's work already but wanted Higgs to articulate "a broader vision" of what an inclusive New Brunswick would look like, including a better relationship with First Nations.

Following the email exchange and a "really good caucus conversation" on Oct. 19, "we've certainly moved quite a long way down that road, and that's all for the good," he said.

First Nations title acknowledgements could be used as evidence in N.B. land claim case, say experts

"This is an enormously complicated file with all kinds of elements around it that are just starting to to be discussed, and we have to be very careful in the way we handle it.

"There was clearly an understanding from he premier's side that that was understood, and MInister Dunn's been doing a lot of incredible work behind the scenes."

Wolstoqey land claim filed

Attorney General Ted Flemming sent the new land acknowledgement policy to all government employees on Oct. 14.

Land acknowledgments have become common at many events, ceremonies and performances in the province.

But Flemming wrote that referring to New Brunswick as "unceded and unsurrendered" territory could hurt the province's case in land title litigation filed by Wolastoqey chiefs that covers 60 per cent of the province.

The memo said government employees are allowed to refer to the province as "the ancestral homelands" of those nations but would not be punished for talking about unceded or unsurrendered territory.

The memo sparked angry reactions from Indigenous people and others, but Higgs said it was necessary to clarify legal issues raised in the lawsuit as a way of getting to a better relationship.

"Yes, it involves tough discussions, especially when we're being sued, and it involves us putting all the facts on the table, so I think emotions run high sometimes, and some folks are more emotional than others, as we know," he said.

Trudeau would have been 'better served' to listen to party's old guard, says Chrétien

Former PM reflects on challenges of crafting a cabinet, minority governments and lessons from the past

Peter Zimonjic, Tyler Buist· CBC News · Posted: Oct 24, 2021 4:00 AM ET

Former Liberal prime minister Jean Chrétien speaks to CBC chief political correspondent Rosemary Barton about the benefits of experience, minority governments and the challenges of crafting a balanced cabinet. (Mathieu Theriault/CBC)

Former Liberal prime minister Jean Chrétien says Prime Minister Justin Trudeau would have been "better served" if he sought guidance from his party's elder statesmen, but that the current government has failed to reach out to him for advice.

"I'm not there, but sometimes I thought that, you know, they would have been better served if they would have looked to have older, experienced people with them," Chrétien said in an interview airing on Rosemary Barton Live on Sunday.

Chrétien said he isn't passing judgment on the current Liberal government.

But, in a forthcoming book, he wrote that while "Trudeau and his team aspire to be reformists on a grand scale … their lack of experience for succeeding in that goal is more and more apparent."

Asked about that remark by CBC's chief political correspondent Rosemary Barton, Chrétien said the current crop of Liberals in Ottawa "don't consult me," and that he is fine with that.

"I'm not there. It's not my responsibility," he said.

Chrétien also noted in his book that rejecting politicians, and the politics of the past, are part of the Trudeau Liberals' identity.

"They say to whoever wants to hear that one of their great successes is in having sidelined the old guard," he wrote in My Stories, My Times, Vol. 2, coming out on Tuesday.

The former prime minister said that the reason he believes in the value of leaning on the previous generation's experience is because he is a product of that kind of thinking.

In 1966, Prime Minister Lester B. Pearson, who Chrétien and others referred to as "Mike," promoted him to parliamentary secretary for Mitchell Sharp, then the minister of finance, who took Chrétien under his wing.

"I benefited from that," he said. "Mitchell Sharp was selected by 'Mike' Pearson to train me and I think that was rather, perhaps, a success."

Crafting a cabinet

Chrétien stressed that he is not criticizing Trudeau's decisions. The former prime minister even campaigned with Trudeau in the most recent election, appearing alongside him at a rally in Mississauga, Ont. He said he is just pointing out that the two men have a very different approach to politics.

"I don't want to pass judgment, you know. For me, it's not my role. For me, I did it differently," he told Barton.

Chrétien also spoke about the challenges of putting together a federal cabinet that draws on the strength of a caucus while being representative of the country.

"It is difficult because you have all sorts of constraints," he said. "You have to have at least one representative from every province and you have the problem of language, of religion, of sex and so on."

"It's very, very difficult. And you know that for one person who is pleased there's ten who are very unhappy … This is a very difficult task and you're alone."

Minority governments

Chrétien reflected on how he crafted a cabinet while sitting at a restaurant table in Korea, scratching out names and portfolios on a piece of restaurant stationery that he has kept as a memento.

He wrote in his book that, while he was a minister in minority governments under Pierre Elliott Trudeau and Pearson, he would have liked to have led a minority government himself.

"I said to Justin after the second election. I said, 'In a way, you're lucky. I never had a minority government.' For me, who loves politics, I always thought it would be politics at its best," he said.

Chretien, who oversaw three majority governments between 1993 and 2003, said, as a person who likes brokering deals and compromises, he would "have enjoyed having [a minority government], in a way."

"I preferred to have a majority government and the people of Canada wanted to give me a majority government. So what can I say?"

Residential school abuse reported to department while Jean Chrétien was minister, records show

Chrétien said he never heard of abuse while he was in charge at Indian Affairs

WARNING: This story contains distressing details

While Jean Chrétien was minister of Indian affairs, his federal department received several reports — including one addressed directly to him — of mistreatment and physical abuse of children at residential schools, government records show.

Chrétien, Canada's prime minister from 1993 to 2003, told a popular Radio-Canada talk show on Sunday that he never heard about abuse at residential schools while he was minister of what was then called the Department of Indian Affairs and Northern Development from 1968 to 1974.

Jean Chrétien says he never heard about abuse in residential schools while he was minister

A cursory look at the historical record reveals that while Chrétien was minister, his department received at least four reports outlining allegations of abuse and mistreatment of children at St. Anne's Indian Residential School, which operated in the Fort Albany First Nation, along Ontario's James Bay coast.

The department also received reports of abuse from other residential schools during his tenure, including two from one that sat about 130 kilometres north of his hometown of Shawinigan, Que., records show.

"It's a terrible, terrible thing, when you get that old, you are still consumed in all those lies and there is no shame at all in what you've done to other people in the country," said northern Ontario residential school survivor Mike Cachagee, a member of the Chapleau Cree First Nation who attended three schools.

"It's sad. It just shows you that whole aspect of colonialism and how entrenched it is."

Mike Cachagee, a member of the Chapleau Cree First Nation in northern Ontario, attended three residential schools. (Joe Fiorino/CBC)

During his appearance on Radio-Canada's Tout le monde en parle, Chrétien, 87, said none of his officials ever told him about abuse at residential schools.

"This problem was never mentioned when I was minister. Never," he said.

Report that teacher kept weapons, ammunition

Yet Chrétien's officials were fielding reports of abuse during his tenure at Indian Affairs at a time when the failure of the residential school system was widely and publicly discussed.

Under Chrétien's tenure, the federal government began taking over direct operations of the institutions in 1969 from the churches that ran most of the schools in the system since its inception.

Lost Children

One letter, dated Dec. 28, 1968, was addressed to Chrétien and handwritten by a teacher who taught at Catholic-run St. Anne's residential school.

The letter outlined concerns over how the institution was run.

"The main complaint we had centred around the attitude of the people at the mission toward the [Indigenous] people, which I would to say is prejudicial," said the letter, obtained under the Access to Information Act by NDP MP Charlie Angus, who represents the northern Ontario riding of Timmins—James Bay.

No record has yet surfaced of a reply.

Chrétien did not respond to a request for comment from CBC News.

"It is outrageous for Jean Chrétien to try to whitewash his role," Angus said.

In 1971, federal officials received reports that a student claimed they had been "mistreated and discriminated against" by a teacher, and another student claimed they had been kicked by a staff member, according to an entry in the school narrative for the St. Anne's institution, which is posted on the website of the National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation (NCTR).

School narratives outline the basic history of an institution and are primarily based on federal government records. The narratives, compiled by Ottawa, were a key document used in residential school compensation cases.

That same year, a federal government employee reported that another St. Anne's teacher kept weapons and ammunition in class to scare students, according to the narrative. That same teacher faced allegations of beating one student and kicking another, the narrative said.

In 1973, a separate St, Anne's staff member was "reprimanded for offering alcohol to a minor" staying at the school residence and convincing her to drink it, according to the narrative.

The next year, the school principal wrote the Indian agent in Moose Factory, Ont., that the parents and an unnamed First Nation band chief planned to press charges against another teacher at St. Anne's for kicking a child in the face during a physical education class.

"We have tried to explain the situation to the parents and to the chief, but they refuse to recognize the fact that it was an accident," the principal wrote in a Jan, 23, 1974 letter, obtained by CBC News.

Evelyn Korkmaz, a St. Anne's residential school survivor who lives in Ottawa, said it hurt her to hear the former prime minister refuse any accountability for the pain caused by institutions he oversaw as a government minister.

"You should just fess up and say, 'I screwed up, I'm sorry I'm human, I looked the other way. I look back in my past and I regret that I did,'" Korkmaz said.

Sexual abuse allegations against employee

At the Anglican-run La Tuque residential school, which sat just north of Chrétien's hometown, the federal government launched an inquiry in 1971 into allegations that a former employee "mistreated children, including cutting students' hair as punishment for disobedience," according to the institution's narrative, posted by the NCTR.

A year earlier, an employee was suspended and "discharged" from the institution after four former students went to local police in La Tuque, Que., with allegations they were sexually abused, according to the narrative, which cites several government records.

The narrative does not recount what happened with the complaints.

In 1973, federal officials received reports that a grandparent of two students attending Catholic-run Lebret residential school in Saskatchewan claimed that a supervisor "broke a girl's arm and then laughed" and that two to three supervisors "were cruel towards pupils," according to the narrative.

Historian John Milloy published a book in 1999 on residential schools called A National Crime. The abuse that took place 'was no secret in the department, it wouldn't be a secret' in Chrétien's office, he says. (CBC)

"That [Chrétien] didn't know there were instances of abuse is unimaginable," historian John Milloy said.

Milloy, a professor emeritus at Trent University in Peterborough, Ont., published a book in 1999 on residential schools called A National Crime.

"It was no secret in the department, it wouldn't be a secret in his office," he said in an interview with CBC News.

Failure of residential schools publicly discussed

Milloy's book states that the department regularly received reports of the mistreatment and abuse of children at residential schools throughout the history of the institutions.

By the time Chrétien took over as Indian affairs minister, the failure of the residential school system had been publicly discussed in studies and newspaper articles.

On March 28, 1967, the Edmonton Journal reported that the Alberta government had tabled a report in the legislature that included interviews with five teenage girls who attended Blue Quills residential school. The girls said they left the institution, accusing a priest of "making advances" toward them.

The report's author, Morton Newman, wrote that "Indian Affairs officials corroborated the girls' story," the Journal reported.

That same year, the Canadian Welfare Council released a report by George Caldwell blasting the residential school system as a failure, and the federal department agreed, according to Milloy's book.

Chrétien, in a 1968 letter, wrote that for Indigenous children, "remaining a member of the family unit can be more beneficial than the best residential school care," according to the book.

Support is available for anyone affected by their experience at residential schools, and those who are triggered by the latest reports.

Jean Chrétien says he never heard about abuse in residential schools while he was minister

Chrétien also said in his experience at a conventional boarding school, he 'never had a problem'

WARNING: This story contains distressing details.

Former prime minister Jean Chrétien said Sunday that during his tenure as minister of what was then Indian Affairs, he never heard anything about abuse happening in residential schools.

Chrétien made the comments during an appearance on the popular Radio-Canada talk show, Tout le Monde en Parle.

"This problem was never mentioned when I was minister. Never," said Chrétien, now 87, of his time in the department from 1968 to 1974.

Residential school abuse reported to department while Jean Chrétien was minister, records show

During the French interview, Chrétien appeared to draw a comparison between his own experience attending a conventional college boarding school as a teenager to that of Indigenous children who were forced to attend residential schools.

"I ate baked beans and oatmeal. And to be sure, it was hard living in a boarding school, extremely hard. Here in Quebec, we had to [in order to get into university]," he said.

"In Shawinigan, we didn't have a college. We had to go to Trois-Rivières or to Joliette," he explained. "We had no choice. It was hard but my parents insisted I go to university and I had to do it."

Chrétien said while he didn't enjoy sleeping in a dorm with 200 others, he "never had a problem."

Stories of physical and sexual abuse of Indigenous children in residential schools were documented in the 2015 Truth and Reconciliation Commission.

Ottawa pledges $320 million to search for residential school graves and support survivors

More recently, discoveries of unmarked graves on residential school sites have once again brought the issue to the forefront.

Innu author critical of former PM's comments

The former prime minister's comment drew the ire of another guest on the talk show, Innu author Michel Jean.

"Respectfully, I don't think Mr. Chrétien knows exactly what residential schools are," he said.

"The word boarding school makes people think it was a school where we teach people to write, but it wasn't that."

Innu author Michel Jean pushed back against the comments made by Jean Chrétien during the interview. (Radio-Canada)

He said that while Chrétien might recall eating poor-quality food, it doesn't compare to what children in residential schools were subjected to.

"My mother's cousin told me that when there was duck, the nuns would keep the duck meat and cut the feet off, with its toenails still on, boil that in water, and that's what they gave to the kids."

Jean described how members of his own family suffered abuse in residential schools.

"There is someone in my family who attended a residential school in Fort George who was sexually assaulted every day for eight years by a nun," said Jean.

"It was called a boarding school, but it was not a school."

'We can't rewrite history'

Chrétien, who appeared on the talk show to discuss his new book, said that he was aware of the existence of residential schools, but not what was going on there.

In Chrétien's autobiographical book, the former prime minister recounts an anecdote where he advised Queen Elizabeth not to apologize to the Maori people of New Zealand for the harm done to them by the British colonial administration.

Chrétien writes in the book that he told her: "Your Majesty, if you start [apologizing] I will have to bring you to Canada and, since we have several hundred Indigenous communities, you will be on your knees for at least two years."

When asked about this, Chrétien said it's fine to apologize, but "we can't rewrite history. Terrible things happened."

Chrétien went on to defend his record, saying he tried to improve the lives of Indigenous people in Canada, both personally and politically.

Quebec's residential school system started later than most in Canada — and also has history of abuse

"I even adopted an Indigenous son, to lead by example," he said. "This proves my investment in this issue."

The last of the residential school sites in Canada closed in 1997, while Chrétien was prime minister.

Anand to defence, Joly to foreign affairs: Trudeau announces major cabinet shakeup

New cabinet announced ahead of Parliament's Nov. 22 return

CBC's special coverage of Justin Trudeau's new Liberal cabinet ministers being sworn in at Rideau Hall. 0:00

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is kicking off his third mandate with a monumental shift in his cabinet lineup that makes significant changes to senior portfolios.

Governor General Mary May Simon oversaw the swearing-in ceremony this morning at Rideau Hall — which saw nine new faces added to cabinet, three names dropped, some prominent shuffles and the creation of new portfolios ahead of Parliament's return next month.

The new cabinet list adds up to 39 ministers, including Trudeau — slightly larger than the last roster.

In one of the largest shakeups, Oakville MP Anita Anand becomes only the second woman in Canadian history to take on the role of Defence minister, after former prime minister Kim Campbell in the 1990s.

She inherits a tough job as the Canadian Armed Forces continues to battle a sexual misconduct crisis. Multiple high-ranking military officers have been moved out of their jobs while facing allegations.

As questions about his handling of that crisis continue to swirl, Harjit Sajjan has been bumped to minister of International Development and minister responsible for Pacific Economic Development Canada.

Mélanie Joly received a major promotion this morning, moving up from minister of Economic Development and Official Languages to a much higher profile as Foreign Affairs minister. She served previously as minister of Heritage but took a political hit in her home province of Quebec when she tried to promote the government's agreement with Netflix.

She takes over from Marc Garneau, who is no longer in cabinet.

Canada is getting a new Environment and Climate Change minister just days ahead of the United Nations climate change conference in Glasgow (COP26). Long-time environmental activist Steven Guilbeault is taking on the role following his previous posting as Heritage minister.

The Quebec MP, who has worked with groups such as Equiterre and Greenpeace, will have a prominent role in cabinet as the Liberals attempt to slash greenhouse gas emissions by 40 to 45 per cent below 2005 levels by 2030.

As the country still grapples with the lingering effects of the pandemic, Jean-Yves Duclos takes over the health ministry. He's being replaced as president of the Treasury Board by Ottawa-area MP Mona Fortier.

Patty Hajdu, who took on the health ministry just months before the pandemic hit, becomes minister of Indigenous Services and minister responsible for the federal economic development agency for Northern Ontario.

Hajdu will work on the Liberals' reconciliation agenda with Marc Miller, who slides over to Crown-Indigenous Relations.

Their new appointments come amid renewed calls for justice for residential school survivors and for the federal government to compensate First Nations children. Ottawa has until Friday to decide whether it will appeal a decision by the Federal Court to uphold two Canadian Human Rights Tribunal orders requiring Ottawa to pay out billions of dollars to Indigenous children.

Former government house leader Pablo Rodríguez takes over as Heritage minister, keeping the portfolio in the hands of a Quebec MP. Former whip Mark Holland moves into a cabinet position, taking over Rodríguez's old job.

New portfolios

A number of portfolios have been created, broken up or renamed.

After years overseeing various Indigenous files, Carolyn Bennett moves to a new position as minister of Mental Health and Addictions and associate minister of health.

The veteran politician was recently forced to apologize publicly to Jody Wilson-Raybould after suggesting the Indigenous MP's expressions of concern about residential schools and Indigenous rights were actually a ploy to secure a generous MP's pension. Wilson-Raybould described the message as "racist & misogynist."

Transport Minister Omar Alghabra keeps his job, Marie Claude Bibeau remains at Agriculture and Agri-food, Dianne Lebouthillier stays at National Revenue and Lawrence MacAulay keeps Veterans Affairs.

Carla Qualtrough also remains minister of Employment, Workforce Development and Disability Inclusion.

Francois Philippe Champagne stays on as minister as Innovation, Science and Industry.

Along with Garneau, Waterloo MP Bardish Chagger and Winnipeg Jim Carr were dropped from cabinet.

Conservative Leader Erin O'Toole was quick to criticize the new cabinet lineup, saying it's filled with "largely inexperienced and ideologically driven individuals."

"With inflation at a near twenty-year high, causing gasoline, grocery and housing prices to skyrocket, and businesses suffering from major supply chain interruptions, it is clear from today's appointments that the Trudeau government is not serious about addressing Canada's economic challenges," he said in a media statement.

"Today's changes to cabinet represent just another example of the prime minister continuing to reward ministers who have consistently demonstrated incompetence and a lack of accountability."

O'Toole attacks Trudeau's 'inexperienced' cabinet as a threat to national unity

Conservative leader says Trudeau rewarding ministers who have 'demonstrated incompetence'

John Paul Tasker· CBC News · Posted: Oct 26, 2021 1:27 PM ET

Conservative Leader Erin O'Toole tore into Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's new cabinet lineup today, saying he's assembled a group of "largely inexperienced and ideological individuals" that pose a threat to the country's national unity and post-pandemic economic recovery.

In a statement released as ministers were still being sworn in at Rideau Hall, O'Toole said Trudeau's cabinet picks are "yet another example" of his "record of style over substance."

"Today's changes to the cabinet represent just another example of the prime minister continuing to reward ministers who have consistently demonstrated incompetence and a lack of accountability," O'Toole said.

Before today's swearing-in ceremony, O'Toole called for Harjit Sajjan to be dumped as defence minister over his "track record of failure" on the sexual misconduct file in the Canadian Armed Forces. "Canada's Conservatives are calling on Justin Trudeau to finally do the right thing, and fire Minister Sajjan from cabinet," O'Toole said in a Monday statement.

While Sajjan was removed from that high-profile post, the B.C. MP will stay in cabinet as the minister of International Development. Ontario MP Anita Anand — who served as Public Services and Procurement minister during the mad scramble to buy COVID-19 vaccines over the past 16 months — will replace Sajjan at defence. Anand is only the second woman in Canadian history to hold that job.

Mélanie Joly, was demoted from Heritage to serve as the minister of tourism in August 2018 after facing a torrent of criticism over her handling of the so-called "Netflix tax" and reforms to the broadcasting sector. She's now making a triumphant return to a prominent position with her appointment Tuesday as minister of Foreign Affairs.

While O'Toole described the new cabinet as "inexperienced," just nine of the 39 members in this cabinet are new ministers.

Only one person named to cabinet today — Pascale St-Onge, a former Quebec union leader who will serve as the minister of sport — was first elected in October's general election. Of the nine new members appointed today, Ginette Petitpas-Taylor served previously in cabinet as health minister between 2017 and 2019.

O'Toole's talk of a national unity threat appears to be a thinly veiled reference to the appointment of long-time Quebec climate activist Steven Guilbeault to the position of environment minister. In the past, the Conservatives said Guilbeault's very presence in the Liberal Party suggests Trudeau is hostile to the oil and gas industry, a business that sustains tens of thousands of jobs and pumps billions into government coffers.

Steven Guilbeault is the new environment minister. (Adrian Wyld/The Canadian Press)

Before entering electoral politics, Guilbeault co-founded Équiterre, a Quebec environmental organization, and served as the director of the Quebec chapter of Greenpeace for more than a decade.

While at Greenpeace, Guilbeault was arrested after climbing a 340-metre tower and unfurling a banner that read "Canada and Bush Climate Killers"— an act of civil disobedience meant to draw attention to inaction by Canada and the U.S. on the Kyoto Protocol climate agreement.

Later, Guilbeault emerged as an ardent opponent of pipeline development, including the Trans Mountain expansion project that is now being built by a Crown corporation.

Greenpeace celebrated Guilbeault's appointment Tuesday, calling him a leader who "knows the file."

"He knows the key players and he understands just how much is at stake," the group said in a media statement.

Analysis
Owning up to Canada's 'fair share' of the climate burden

Trudeau previously defended his decision to run Guilbeault under the Liberal banner, saying in 2019 that the party welcomes "a broad range of views on a lot of different issues."

Construction of the Trans Mountain pipeline is well underway, with more than 9,400 people actively working on the project in hundreds of communities across B.C and Alberta.

O'Toole said another pressing concern for the Conservative Party is the country's economic recovery, suggesting Trudeau's new cabinet is ill-equipped to deal with ongoing COVID-related issues.

"Canadians will only get higher prices, higher taxes, and smaller paycheques under this government's economic plan. What they deserve are solutions to our economic challenges, not more risky and unproven economic schemes."

At a press conference on Parliament Hill, NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh also criticized the new cabinet. He took issue with the appointment of Carolyn Bennett, the outgoing Crown-Indigenous relations minister, and Marc Miller — who, until today, served as the Indigenous Services minister — to new cabinet positions.

Miller will replace Bennett at Crown-Indigenous Relations, the portfolio that deals with land claims and ongoing reconciliation efforts. Bennett, who has served in an Indigenous-related portfolio since the Liberal government was first elected in 2015, will now be the minister for mental health and addictions.

No longer health minister, Patty Hajdu will take over for Miller at Indigenous Services, a department that is primarily focused on the delivery of government programs to First Nations, Metis and Inuit communities.

The NDP has consistently criticized the government's move under Bennett and Miller to launch an application for a judicial review of a landmark human rights tribunal compensation order for First Nations children.

The federal government has argued that the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal overreached and was wrong to order Ottawa to pay $40,000 to each child affected by the on-reserve child welfare system since 2006.

Singh calls for 'concrete actions'

"If Justin Trudeau had a problem with the approach taken by the previous ministers, then they probably wouldn't be in cabinet. But they're still in cabinet, so that means they were OK with their approach. That's a problem," Singh said. "If someone's done a bad job, they shouldn't be there anymore."

Singh said his priorities for this next session of Parliament are implementing paid sick leave, boosting funds for health care, a national child care regime and a pharmacare plan. He said he worries this new cabinet will fail to deliver.

"The cabinet changes don't change who's at the top of this and a lot of these things have been around for the past six years since Mr. Trudeau's been in power and those changes haven't happened," he said.

"Changing the minister that deals with Indigenous Services doesn't change that they've got a decision to make in a couple days about whether they're going to appeal or fight Indigenous kids in court. Those are the things we want to see — concrete actions, not just who's in the different roles."

National Indigenous leaders, meanwhile, said they're willing to work with Miller to deliver results.

In a media statement, Assembly of First Nations National Chief RoseAnne Archibald congratulated the new ministers and said she "look[s] forward to continuing the work we've done" with Miller on reconciliation.

"My hope is that these individuals, and all ministers in cabinet, will work alongside First Nations to find a healing path forward in 2022 and beyond," Archibald said.

The Native Women's Association of Canada (NWAC) said it was "pleased to learn" that Hajdu would assume her new role and that Miller would still be involved in the Indigenous file after the cabinet overhaul.

"All of these new ministers have shown compassion in their previous roles and in their work at the federal level, and we are hopeful that spirit will continue as they take on their new jobs," Lorraine Whitman, the president of NWAC, said in a statement. "These appointments are good steps forward for reconciliation."

Kenney says longtime activist's appointment as environment minister sends 'very problematic' message

Longtime environmental activist Steven Guilbeault gets prominent role in Trudeau's cabinet

Hannah Kost· CBC News · Posted: Oct 26, 2021 5:56 PM MT

Political science professor Duane Bratt says the appointment of long time environmental activist Stephen Guibeault sends a strong signal to Premier Jason Kenney. (Jason Franson, Adrian Wyld/The Canadian Press)

Alberta Premier Jason Kenney says the federal government's choice for minister of environment and climate change Tuesday sends a "very problematic" message to the province.

Longtime environmental activist and former heritage minister Steven Guilbeault will take on the prominent role in cabinet as Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's Liberals attempt to slash greenhouse gas emissions by 40 to 45 per cent below 2005 levels by 2030.

The Quebec MP once worked as a senior member of Greenpeace and was arrested in 2001 for scaling Toronto's CN Tower in an attempt to draw attention to climate change.

Guilbeault has vocally opposed pipelines and also co-founded the environmental non-profit group Équiterre, which was cited as a participant in "anti-Alberta energy campaigns" in the United Conservative Party's controversial Allan Report. Guilbeault himself was mentioned in the report by name six times.

On Tuesday, Kenney expressed concern over his appointment as minister of environment and climate change.

"I certainly hope that [Guilbeault] … will quickly demonstrate to Alberta, and other resource-producing provinces, a desire to work together constructively on practical solutions that don't end up killing hundreds of thousands of jobs," Kenney said.

"But his own personal background and track record on these issues suggest somebody who is more of an absolutist than a pragmatist when it comes to finding solutions."

'Kenney's head is gonna explode'

Duane Bratt, a political scientist with Mount Royal University in Calgary, put it more bluntly.

"Kenney's head is gonna explode," he said. "This is really a finger in the eye to everything that Kenney has done."

According to Bratt, Guilbeault, who was a star recruit for the federal Liberals in 2019, desperately wanted to be the environment minister.

"I think Trudeau would have put him in that spot in 2019, except for the shellacking they took out in the Prairies," Bratt said.

Jonathan Wilkinson had the job but was shuffled on Tuesday to become minister of natural resources, which makes him another notable appointment for Alberta.

Kenney said Tuesday that Wilkinson's relationship with Alberta had been "constructive" during his tenure as environment minister.

"I think [he] understood that Alberta is a good faith partner in addressing the climate challenge, and I think broadly agreed with our effort," the premier said.

Meanwhile, Bratt says Guilbeault could have his work cut out for him.

"If the job is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, I think he could very well be effective. If it's about the politics around that, that's going to be a lot tougher for this man."

- Duane Bratt, political scientist with Mount Royal University

But when Guilbeault was running for the federal Liberals in 2019, the high-profile environmentalist said he was willing to be pragmatic about pipelines in the pursuit of better environment policy and explained why he felt comfortable running for the party, despite seeing the issue differently.

"I disagree with the pipeline," he told CBC News at the time about the Trans Mountain pipeline, which the Liberal government purchased in 2018. It approved its expansion the following year.

"But when I look at everything that the Liberal government has done over the past four years, in terms of fighting climate change, there's so much for me to rally around that, despite this point of disagreement, I've decided to go ahead."

UCP has tried to work with Ottawa, Kenney says

Kenney said Tuesday that since elected in 2019, the UCP has attempted to find a way forward with the federal government and tried to address the "urgent need" to reduce greenhouse gas emissions while still growing Alberta's economy and responsibly developing its resources.

"Despite our best efforts, we have constantly been surprised by ever-more ambitious federal targets and prejudicial policies, which seem to be directed at impeding Alberta's natural resource development, jobs and our economy," Kenney said.

New Liberal candidate Steven Guilbeault wrestles with party's pipeline policies

But Bratt pointed out that Kenney's so-called Fight-Back Strategy has likely not endeared his government to anyone in Ottawa, nor has it done him many favours back in Alberta.

"The carbon tax, the War Room, the Allan Inquiry, buying [the Keystone XL pipeline] — they've all been self-punches to the face," Bratt said.

"I don't think Trudeau thinks he's got a lot of leverage right now," said Bratt.

He pointed to both the "massive unpopularity of the Kenney government" and the seats the Liberals managed to win in Alberta in the federal election.

Appointment comes days before UN climate conference

Meanwhile, Alberta's energy industry seemed to be taking the appointment in stride.

The Canadian Association of Energy Contractors (CAEC), the Canadian Energy Pipeline Association (CEPA) and the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers (CAPP) said they would continue working with the federal government.

Tim McMillan, the president and CEO of CAPP, said it was incredibly important that industry, along with Guilbeault and Wilkinson, find common ground.

"Canadian producers share the aspiration of Canadians to find realistic and workable solutions to the challenge of climate change," he said.

Bratt said environmental groups will likely be thrilled to see Guilbeault in the role.

The announcement comes just days ahead of the United Nations climate change conference in Glasgow.

"[Trudeau is] gonna walk in with someone who got arrested and convicted over demonstrations to defend the environment," Bratt said. "That's pretty strong cred."

>>>
>>> (Delivered orally from the Bench in Fredericton, New Brunswick, on

>>>
>>> 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;

>>> Sergeant Danny Copp; my former colleagues on the New Brunswick Court
>>> of Appeal, Justices Bradley V. Green and Kathleen Quigg, and, retired

>>>
>>> In the circumstances, given the threat in 2004 to sue me in my

>>> hear this motion. See Justice de Grandpré’s dissenting judgment in

>> REASONS FOR JUDGMENT BY THE COURT
>>
>> I. Introduction
>>
>> [1] On September 16, 2015, David Raymond Amos (Mr. Amos)
>> filed a 53-page Statement of Claim (the Claim) in Federal Court
>> against Her Majesty the Queen (the Crown). Mr. Amos claims $11 million
>> in damages and a public apology from the Prime Minister and Provincial
>> Premiers for being illegally barred from accessing parliamentary
>> properties and seeks a declaration from the Minister of Public Safety
>> that the Canadian Government will no longer allow the Royal Canadian
>> Mounted Police (RCMP) and Canadian Forces to harass him and his clan
>> (Claim at para. 96).
>>
>> [2] On November 12, 2015 (Docket T-1557-15), by way of a
>> motion brought by the Crown, a prothonotary of the Federal Court (the
>> Prothonotary) struck the Claim in its entirety, without leave to
>> amend, on the basis that it was plain and obvious that the Claim
>> disclosed no reasonable claim, the Claim was fundamentally vexatious,
>> and the Claim could not be salvaged by way of further amendment (the
>> Prothontary’s Order).
>>
>>
>> [3] On January 25, 2016 (2016 FC 93), by way of Mr.
>> Amos’ appeal from the Prothonotary’s Order, a judge of the Federal
>> Court (the Judge), reviewing the matter de novo, struck all of Mr.
>> Amos’ claims for relief with the exception of the claim for damages
>> for being barred by the RCMP from the New Brunswick legislature in
>> 2004 (the Federal Court Judgment).
>>
>>
>> [4] Mr. Amos appealed and the Crown cross-appealed the
>> Federal Court Judgment. Further to the issuance of a Notice of Status
>> Review, Mr. Amos’ appeal was dismissed for delay on December 19, 2016.
>> As such, the only matter before this Court is the Crown’s
>> cross-appeal.
>>
>>
>> II. Preliminary Matter
>>
>> [5] Mr. Amos, in his memorandum of fact and law in
>> relation to the cross-appeal that was filed with this Court on March
>> 6, 2017, indicated that several judges of this Court, including two of
>> the judges of this panel, had a conflict of interest in this appeal.
>> This was the first time that he identified the judges whom he believed
>> had a conflict of interest in a document that was filed with this
>> Court. In his notice of appeal he had alluded to a conflict with
>> several judges but did not name those judges.
>>
>> [6] Mr. Amos was of the view that he did not have to
>> identify the judges in any document filed with this Court because he
>> had identified the judges in various documents that had been filed
>> with the Federal Court. In his view the Federal Court and the Federal
>> Court of Appeal are the same court and therefore any document filed in
>> the Federal Court would be filed in this Court. This view is based on
>> subsections 5(4) and 5.1(4) of the Federal Courts Act, R.S.C., 1985,
>> c. F-7:
>>
>>
>> 5(4) Every judge of the Federal Court is, by virtue of his or her
>> office, a judge of the Federal Court of Appeal and has all the
>> jurisdiction, power and authority of a judge of the Federal Court of
>> Appeal.
>> […]
>>
>> 5(4) Les juges de la Cour fédérale sont d’office juges de la Cour
>> d’appel fédérale et ont la même compétence et les mêmes pouvoirs que
>> les juges de la Cour d’appel fédérale.
>> […]
>> 5.1(4) Every judge of the Federal Court of Appeal is, by virtue of
>> that office, a judge of the Federal Court and has all the
>> jurisdiction, power and authority of a judge of the Federal Court.
>>
>> 5.1(4) Les juges de la Cour d’appel fédérale sont d’office juges de la
>> Cour fédérale et ont la même compétence et les mêmes pouvoirs que les
>> juges de la Cour fédérale.
>>
>>
>> [7] However, these subsections only provide that the
>> judges of the Federal Court are also judges of this Court (and vice
>> versa). It does not mean that there is only one court. If the Federal
>> Court and this Court were one Court, there would be no need for this
>> section.
>> [8] Sections 3 and 4 of the Federal Courts Act provide
>> that:
>> 3 The division of the Federal Court of Canada called the Federal Court
>> — Appeal Division is continued under the name “Federal Court of
>> Appeal” in English and “Cour d’appel fédérale” in French. It is
>> continued as an additional court of law, equity and admiralty in and
>> for Canada, for the better administration of the laws of Canada and as
>> a superior court of record having civil and criminal jurisdiction.
>>
>> 3 La Section d’appel, aussi appelée la Cour d’appel ou la Cour d’appel
>> fédérale, est maintenue et dénommée « Cour d’appel fédérale » en
>> français et « Federal Court of Appeal » en anglais. Elle est maintenue
>> à titre de tribunal additionnel de droit, d’equity et d’amirauté du
>> Canada, propre à améliorer l’application du droit canadien, et
>> continue d’être une cour supérieure d’archives ayant compétence en
>> matière civile et pénale.
>> 4 The division of the Federal Court of Canada called the Federal Court
>> — Trial Division is continued under the name “Federal Court” in
>> English and “Cour fédérale” in French. It is continued as an
>> additional court of law, equity and admiralty in and for Canada, for
>> the better administration of the laws of Canada and as a superior
>> court of record having civil and criminal jurisdiction.
>>
>> 4 La section de la Cour fédérale du Canada, appelée la Section de
>> première instance de la Cour fédérale, est maintenue et dénommée «
>> Cour fédérale » en français et « Federal Court » en anglais. Elle est
>> maintenue à titre de tribunal additionnel de droit, d’equity et
>> d’amirauté du Canada, propre à améliorer l’application du droit
>> canadien, et continue d’être une cour supérieure d’archives ayant
>> compétence en matière civile et pénale.
>>
>>
>> [9] Sections 3 and 4 of the Federal Courts Act create
>> two separate courts – this Court (section 3) and the Federal Court
>> (section 4). If, as Mr. Amos suggests, documents filed in the Federal
>> Court were automatically also filed in this Court, then there would no
>> need for the parties to prepare and file appeal books as required by
>> Rules 343 to 345 of the Federal Courts Rules, SOR/98-106 in relation
>> to any appeal from a decision of the Federal Court. The requirement to
>> file an appeal book with this Court in relation to an appeal from a
>> decision of the Federal Court makes it clear that the only documents
>> that will be before this Court are the documents that are part of that
>> appeal book.
>>
>>
>> [10] Therefore, the memorandum of fact and law filed on
>> March 6, 2017 is the first document, filed with this Court, in which
>> Mr. Amos identified the particular judges that he submits have a
>> conflict in any matter related to him.
>>
>>
>> [11] On April 3, 2017, Mr. Amos attempted to bring a motion
>> before the Federal Court seeking an order “affirming or denying the
>> conflict of interest he has” with a number of judges of the Federal
>> Court. A judge of the Federal Court issued a direction noting that if
>> Mr. Amos was seeking this order in relation to judges of the Federal
>> Court of Appeal, it was beyond the jurisdiction of the Federal Court.
>> Mr. Amos raised the Federal Court motion at the hearing of this
>> cross-appeal. The Federal Court motion is not a motion before this
>> Court and, as such, the submissions filed before the Federal Court
>> will not be entertained. As well, since this was a motion brought
>> before the Federal Court (and not this Court), any documents filed in
>> relation to that motion are not part of the record of this Court.
>>
>>
>> [12] During the hearing of the appeal Mr. Amos alleged that
>> the third member of this panel also had a conflict of interest and
>> submitted some documents that, in his view, supported his claim of a
>> conflict. Mr. Amos, following the hearing of his appeal, was also
>> afforded the opportunity to provide a brief summary of the conflict
>> that he was alleging and to file additional documents that, in his
>> view, supported his allegations. Mr. Amos submitted several pages of
>> documents in relation to the alleged conflicts. He organized the
>> documents by submitting a copy of the biography of the particular
>> judge and then, immediately following that biography, by including
>> copies of the documents that, in his view, supported his claim that
>> such judge had a conflict.
>>
>>
>> [13] The nature of the alleged conflict of Justice Webb is
>> that before he was appointed as a Judge of the Tax Court of Canada in
>> 2006, he was a partner with the law firm Patterson Law, and before
>> that with Patterson Palmer in Nova Scotia. Mr. Amos submitted that he
>> had a number of disputes with Patterson Palmer and Patterson Law and
>> therefore Justice Webb has a conflict simply because he was a partner
>> of these firms. Mr. Amos is not alleging that Justice Webb was
>> personally involved in or had any knowledge of any matter in which Mr.
>> Amos was involved with Justice Webb’s former law firm – only that he
>> was a member of such firm.
>>
>>
>> [14] During his oral submissions at the hearing of his
>> appeal Mr. Amos, in relation to the alleged conflict for Justice Webb,
>> focused on dealings between himself and a particular lawyer at
>> Patterson Law. However, none of the documents submitted by Mr. Amos at
>> the hearing or subsequently related to any dealings with this
>> particular lawyer nor is it clear when Mr. Amos was dealing with this
>> lawyer. In particular, it is far from clear whether such dealings were
>> after the time that Justice Webb was appointed as a Judge of the Tax
>> Court of Canada over 10 years ago.
>>
>>
>> [15] The documents that he submitted in relation to the
>> alleged conflict for Justice Webb largely relate to dealings between
>> Byron Prior and the St. John’s Newfoundland and Labrador office of
>> Patterson Palmer, which is not in the same province where Justice Webb
>> practiced law. The only document that indicates any dealing between
>> Mr. Amos and Patterson Palmer is a copy of an affidavit of Stephen May
>> who was a partner in the St. John’s NL office of Patterson Palmer. The
>> affidavit is dated January 24, 2005 and refers to a number of e-mails
>> that were sent by Mr. Amos to Stephen May. Mr. Amos also included a
>> letter that is addressed to four individuals, one of whom is John
>> Crosbie who was counsel to the St. John’s NL office of Patterson
>> Palmer. The letter is dated September 2, 2004 and is addressed to
>> “John Crosbie, c/o Greg G. Byrne, Suite 502, 570 Queen Street,
>> Fredericton, NB E3B 5E3”. In this letter Mr. Amos alludes to a
>> possible lawsuit against Patterson Palmer.
>> [16] Mr. Amos’ position is that simply because Justice Webb
>> was a lawyer with Patterson Palmer, he now has a conflict. In Wewaykum
>> Indian Band v. Her Majesty the Queen, 2003 SCC 45, [2003] 2 S.C.R.
>> 259, the Supreme Court of Canada noted that disqualification of a
>> judge is to be determined based on whether there is a reasonable
>> apprehension of bias:
>> 60 In Canadian law, one standard has now emerged as the
>> criterion for disqualification. The criterion, as expressed by de
>> Grandpré J. in Committee for Justice and Liberty v. National Energy
>> Board, …[[1978] 1 S.C.R. 369, 68 D.L.R. (3d) 716], at p. 394, is the
>> reasonable apprehension of bias:
>> … the apprehension of bias must be a reasonable one, held by
>> reasonable and right minded persons, applying themselves to the
>> question and obtaining thereon the required information. In the words
>> of the Court of Appeal, that test is "what would an informed person,
>> viewing the matter realistically and practically -- and having thought
>> the matter through -- conclude. Would he think that it is more likely
>> than not that [the decision-maker], whether consciously or
>> unconsciously, would not decide fairly."
>>
>> [17] The issue to be determined is whether an informed
>> person, viewing the matter realistically and practically, and having
>> thought the matter through, would conclude that Mr. Amos’ allegations
>> give rise to a reasonable apprehension of bias. As this Court has
>> previously remarked, “there is a strong presumption that judges will
>> administer justice impartially” and this presumption will not be
>> rebutted in the absence of “convincing evidence” of bias (Collins v.
>> Canada, 2011 FCA 140 at para. 7, [2011] 4 C.T.C. 157 [Collins]. See
>> also R. v. S. (R.D.), [1997] 3 S.C.R. 484 at para. 32, 151 D.L.R.
>> (4th) 193).
>>
>> [18] The Ontario Court of Appeal in Rando Drugs Ltd. v.
>> Scott, 2007 ONCA 553, 86 O.R. (3d) 653 (leave to appeal to the Supreme
>> Court of Canada refused, 32285 (August 1, 2007)), addressed the
>> particular issue of whether a judge is disqualified from hearing a
>> case simply because he had been a member of a law firm that was
>> involved in the litigation that was now before that judge. The Ontario
>> Court of Appeal determined that the judge was not disqualified if the
>> judge had no involvement with the person or the matter when he was a
>> lawyer. The Ontario Court of Appeal also explained that the rules for
>> determining whether a judge is disqualified are different from the
>> rules to determine whether a lawyer has a conflict:
>> 27 Thus, disqualification is not the natural corollary to a
>> finding that a trial judge has had some involvement in a case over
>> which he or she is now presiding. Where the judge had no involvement,
>> as here, it cannot be said that the judge is disqualified.
>>
>>
>> 28 The point can rightly be made that had Mr. Patterson been
>> asked to represent the appellant as counsel before his appointment to
>> the bench, the conflict rules would likely have prevented him from
>> taking the case because his firm had formerly represented one of the
>> defendants in the case. Thus, it is argued how is it that as a trial
>> judge Patterson J. can hear the case? This issue was considered by the
>> Court of Appeal (Civil Division) in Locabail (U.K.) Ltd. v. Bayfield
>> Properties Ltd., [2000] Q.B. 451. The court held, at para. 58, that
>> there is no inflexible rule governing the disqualification of a judge
>> and that, "[e]verything depends on the circumstances."
>>
>>
>> 29 It seems to me that what appears at first sight to be an
>> inconsistency in application of rules can be explained by the
>> different contexts and in particular, the strong presumption of
>> judicial impartiality that applies in the context of disqualification
>> of a judge. There is no such presumption in cases of allegations of
>> conflict of interest against a lawyer because of a firm's previous
>> involvement in the case. To the contrary, as explained by Sopinka J.
>> in MacDonald Estate v. Martin (1990), 77 D.L.R. (4th) 249 (S.C.C.),
>> for sound policy reasons there is a presumption of a disqualifying
>> interest that can rarely be overcome. In particular, a conclusory
>> statement from the lawyer that he or she had no confidential
>> information about the case will never be sufficient. The case is the
>> opposite where the allegation of bias is made against a trial judge.
>> His or her statement that he or she knew nothing about the case and
>> had no involvement in it will ordinarily be accepted at face value
>> unless there is good reason to doubt it: see Locabail, at para. 19.
>>
>>
>> 30 That brings me then to consider the particular circumstances
>> of this case and whether there are serious grounds to find a
>> disqualifying conflict of interest in this case. In my view, there are
>> two significant factors that justify the trial judge's decision not to
>> recuse himself. The first is his statement, which all parties accept,
>> that he knew nothing of the case when it was in his former firm and
>> that he had nothing to do with it. The second is the long passage of
>> time. As was said in Wewaykum, at para. 85:
>> To us, one significant factor stands out, and must inform
>> the perspective of the reasonable person assessing the impact of this
>> involvement on Binnie J.'s impartiality in the appeals. That factor is
>> the passage of time. Most arguments for disqualification rest on
>> circumstances that are either contemporaneous to the decision-making,
>> or that occurred within a short time prior to the decision-making.
>> 31 There are other factors that inform the issue. The Wilson
>> Walker firm no longer acted for any of the parties by the time of
>> trial. More importantly, at the time of the motion, Patterson J. had
>> been a judge for six years and thus had not had a relationship with
>> his former firm for a considerable period of time.
>>
>>
>> 32 In my view, a reasonable person, viewing the matter
>> realistically would conclude that the trial judge could deal fairly
>> and impartially with this case. I take this view principally because
>> of the long passage of time and the trial judge's lack of involvement
>> in or knowledge of the case when the Wilson Walker firm had carriage.
>> In these circumstances it cannot be reasonably contended that the
>> trial judge could not remain impartial in the case. The mere fact that
>> his name appears on the letterhead of some correspondence from over a
>> decade ago would not lead a reasonable person to believe that he would
>> either consciously or unconsciously favour his former firm's former
>> client. It is simply not realistic to think that a judge would throw
>> off his mantle of impartiality, ignore his oath of office and favour a
>> client - about whom he knew nothing - of a firm that he left six years
>> earlier and that no longer acts for the client, in a case involving
>> events from over a decade ago.
>> (emphasis added)
>>
>> [19] Justice Webb had no involvement with any matter
>> involving Mr. Amos while he was a member of Patterson Palmer or
>> Patterson Law, nor does Mr. Amos suggest that he did. Mr. Amos made it
>> clear during the hearing of this matter that the only reason for the
>> alleged conflict for Justice Webb was that he was a member of
>> Patterson Law and Patterson Palmer. This is simply not enough for
>> Justice Webb to be disqualified. Any involvement of Mr. Amos with
>> Patterson Law while Justice Webb was a member of that firm would have
>> had to occur over 10 years ago and even longer for the time when he
>> was a member of Patterson Palmer. In addition to the lack of any
>> involvement on his part with any matter or dispute that Mr. Amos had
>> with Patterson Law or Patterson Palmer (which in and of itself is
>> sufficient to dispose of this matter), the length of time since
>> Justice Webb was a member of Patterson Law or Patterson Palmer would
>> also result in the same finding – that there is no conflict in Justice
>> Webb hearing this appeal.
>>
>> [20] Similarly in R. v. Bagot, 2000 MBCA 30, 145 Man. R.
>> (2d) 260, the Manitoba Court of Appeal found that there was no
>> reasonable apprehension of bias when a judge, who had been a member of
>> the law firm that had been retained by the accused, had no involvement
>> with the accused while he was a lawyer with that firm.
>>
>> [21] In Del Zotto v. Minister of National Revenue, [2000] 4
>> F.C. 321, 257 N.R. 96, this court did find that there would be a
>> reasonable apprehension of bias where a judge, who while he was a
>> lawyer, had recorded time on a matter involving the same person who
>> was before that judge. However, this case can be distinguished as
>> Justice Webb did not have any time recorded on any files involving Mr.
>> Amos while he was a lawyer with Patterson Palmer or Patterson Law.
>>
>> [22] Mr. Amos also included with his submissions a CD. He
>> stated in his affidavit dated June 26, 2017 that there is a “true copy
>> of an American police surveillance wiretap entitled 139” on this CD.
>> He has also indicated that he has “provided a true copy of the CD
>> entitled 139 to many American and Canadian law enforcement authorities
>> and not one of the police forces or officers of the court are willing
>> to investigate it”. Since he has indicated that this is an “American
>> police surveillance wiretap”, this is a matter for the American law
>> enforcement authorities and cannot create, as Mr. Amos suggests, a
>> conflict of interest for any judge to whom he provides a copy.
>>
>> [23] As a result, there is no conflict or reasonable
>> apprehension of bias for Justice Webb and therefore, no reason for him
>> to recuse himself.
>>
>> [24] Mr. Amos alleged that Justice Near’s past professional
>> experience with the government created a “quasi-conflict” in deciding
>> the cross-appeal. Mr. Amos provided no details and Justice Near
>> confirmed that he had no prior knowledge of the matters alleged in the
>> Claim. Justice Near sees no reason to recuse himself.
>>
>> [25] Insofar as it is possible to glean the basis for Mr.
>> Amos’ allegations against Justice Gleason, it appears that he alleges
>> that she is incapable of hearing this appeal because he says he wrote
>> a letter to Brian Mulroney and Jean Chrétien in 2004. At that time,
>> both Justice Gleason and Mr. Mulroney were partners in the law firm
>> Ogilvy Renault, LLP. The letter in question, which is rude and angry,
>> begins with “Hey you two Evil Old Smiling Bastards” and “Re: me suing
>> you and your little dogs too”. There is no indication that the letter
>> was ever responded to or that a law suit was ever commenced by Mr.
>> Amos against Mr. Mulroney. In the circumstances, there is no reason
>> for Justice Gleason to recuse herself as the letter in question does
>> not give rise to a reasonable apprehension of bias.
>>
>>
>> III. Issue
>>
>> [26] The issue on the cross-appeal is as follows: Did the
>> Judge err in setting aside the Prothonotary’s Order striking the Claim
>> in its entirety without leave to amend and in determining that Mr.
>> Amos’ allegation that the RCMP barred him from the New Brunswick
>> legislature in 2004 was capable of supporting a cause of action?
>>
>> IV. Analysis
>>
>> A. Standard of Review
>>
>> [27] Following the Judge’s decision to set aside the
>> Prothonotary’s Order, this Court revisited the standard of review to
>> be applied to discretionary decisions of prothonotaries and decisions
>> made by judges on appeals of prothonotaries’ decisions in Hospira
>> Healthcare Corp. v. Kennedy Institute of Rheumatology, 2016 FCA 215,
>> 402 D.L.R. (4th) 497 [Hospira]. In Hospira, a five-member panel of
>> this Court replaced the Aqua-Gem standard of review with that
>> articulated in Housen v. Nikolaisen, 2002 SCC 33, [2002] 2 S.C.R. 235
>> [Housen]. As a result, it is no longer appropriate for the Federal
>> Court to conduct a de novo review of a discretionary order made by a
>> prothonotary in regard to questions vital to the final issue of the
>> case. Rather, a Federal Court judge can only intervene on appeal if
>> the prothonotary made an error of law or a palpable and overriding
>> error in determining a question of fact or question of mixed fact and
>> law (Hospira at para. 79). Further, this Court can only interfere with
>> a Federal Court judge’s review of a prothonotary’s discretionary order
>> if the judge made an error of law or palpable and overriding error in
>> determining a question of fact or question of mixed fact and law
>> (Hospira at paras. 82-83).
>>
>> [28] In the case at bar, the Judge substituted his own
>> assessment of Mr. Amos’ Claim for that of the Prothonotary. This Court
>> must look to the Prothonotary’s Order to determine whether the Judge
>> erred in law or made a palpable and overriding error in choosing to
>> interfere.
>>
>>
>> B. Did the Judge err in interfering with the
>> Prothonotary’s Order?
>>
>> [29] The Prothontoary’s Order accepted the following
>> paragraphs from the Crown’s submissions as the basis for striking the
>> Claim in its entirety without leave to amend:
>>
>> 17. Within the 96 paragraph Statement of Claim, the Plaintiff
>> addresses his complaint in paragraphs 14-24, inclusive. All but four
>> of those paragraphs are dedicated to an incident that occurred in 2006
>> in and around the legislature in New Brunswick. The jurisdiction of
>> the Federal Court does not extend to Her Majesty the Queen in right of
>> the Provinces. In any event, the Plaintiff hasn’t named the Province
>> or provincial actors as parties to this action. The incident alleged
>> does not give rise to a justiciable cause of action in this Court.
>> (…)
>>
>>
>> 21. The few paragraphs that directly address the Defendant
>> provide no details as to the individuals involved or the location of
>> the alleged incidents or other details sufficient to allow the
>> Defendant to respond. As a result, it is difficult or impossible to
>> determine the causes of action the Plaintiff is attempting to advance.
>> A generous reading of the Statement of Claim allows the Defendant to
>> only speculate as to the true and/or intended cause of action. At
>> best, the Plaintiff’s action may possibly be summarized as: he
>> suspects he is barred from the House of Commons.
>> [footnotes omitted].
>>
>>
>> [30] The Judge determined that he could not strike the Claim
>> on the same jurisdictional basis as the Prothonotary. The Judge noted
>> that the Federal Court has jurisdiction over claims based on the
>> liability of Federal Crown servants like the RCMP and that the actors
>> who barred Mr. Amos from the New Brunswick legislature in 2004
>> included the RCMP (Federal Court Judgment at para. 23). In considering
>> the viability of these allegations de novo, the Judge identified
>> paragraph 14 of the Claim as containing “some precision” as it
>> identifies the date of the event and a RCMP officer acting as
>> Aide-de-Camp to the Lieutenant Governor (Federal Court Judgment at
>> para. 27).
>>
>>
>> [31] The Judge noted that the 2004 event could support a
>> cause of action in the tort of misfeasance in public office and
>> identified the elements of the tort as excerpted from Meigs v. Canada,
>> 2013 FC 389, 431 F.T.R. 111:
>>
>>
>> [13] As in both the cases of Odhavji Estate v Woodhouse, 2003 SCC
>> 69 [Odhavji] and Lewis v Canada, 2012 FC 1514 [Lewis], I must
>> determine whether the plaintiffs’ statement of claim pleads each
>> element of the alleged tort of misfeasance in public office:
>>
>> a) The public officer must have engaged in deliberate and unlawful
>> conduct in his or her capacity as public officer;
>>
>> b) The public officer must have been aware both that his or her
>> conduct was unlawful and that it was likely to harm the plaintiff; and
>>
>> c) There must be an element of bad faith or dishonesty by the public
>> officer and knowledge of harm alone is insufficient to conclude that a
>> public officer acted in bad faith or dishonestly.
>> Odhavji, above, at paras 23, 24 and 28
>> (Federal Court Judgment at para. 28).
>>
>> [32] The Judge determined that Mr. Amos disclosed sufficient
>> material facts to meet the elements of the tort of misfeasance in
>> public office because the actors, who barred him from the New
>> Brunswick legislature in 2004, including the RCMP, did so for
>> “political reasons” (Federal Court Judgment at para. 29).
>>
>> [33] This Court’s discussion of the sufficiency of pleadings
>> in Merchant Law Group v. Canada (Revenue Agency), 2010 FCA 184, 321
>> D.L.R (4th) 301 is particularly apt:
>>
>> …When pleading bad faith or abuse of power, it is not enough to
>> assert, baldly, conclusory phrases such as “deliberately or
>> negligently,” “callous disregard,” or “by fraud and theft did steal”.
>> “The bare assertion of a conclusion upon which the court is called
>> upon to pronounce is not an allegation of material fact”. Making bald,
>> conclusory allegations without any evidentiary foundation is an abuse
>> of process…
>>
>> To this, I would add that the tort of misfeasance in public office
>> requires a particular state of mind of a public officer in carrying
>> out the impunged action, i.e., deliberate conduct which the public
>> officer knows to be inconsistent with the obligations of his or her
>> office. For this tort, particularization of the allegations is
>> mandatory. Rule 181 specifically requires particularization of
>> allegations of “breach of trust,” “wilful default,” “state of mind of
>> a person,” “malice” or “fraudulent intention.”
>> (at paras. 34-35, citations omitted).
>>
>> [34] Applying the Housen standard of review to the
>> Prothonotary’s Order, we are of the view that the Judge interfered
>> absent a legal or palpable and overriding error.
>>
>> [35] The Prothonotary determined that Mr. Amos’ Claim
>> disclosed no reasonable claim and was fundamentally vexatious on the
>> basis of jurisdictional concerns and the absence of material facts to
>> ground a cause of action. Paragraph 14 of the Claim, which addresses
>> the 2004 event, pleads no material facts as to how the RCMP officer
>> engaged in deliberate and unlawful conduct, knew that his or her
>> conduct was unlawful and likely to harm Mr. Amos, and acted in bad
>> faith. While the Claim alleges elsewhere that Mr. Amos was barred from
>> the New Brunswick legislature for political and/or malicious reasons,
>> these allegations are not particularized and are directed against
>> non-federal actors, such as the Sergeant-at-Arms of the Legislative
>> Assembly of New Brunswick and the Fredericton Police Force. As such,
>> the Judge erred in determining that Mr. Amos’ allegation that the RCMP
>> barred him from the New Brunswick legislature in 2004 was capable of
>> supporting a cause of action.
>>
>> [36] In our view, the Claim is made up entirely of bare
>> allegations, devoid of any detail, such that it discloses no
>> reasonable cause of action within the jurisdiction of the Federal
>> Courts. Therefore, the Judge erred in interfering to set aside the
>> Prothonotary’s Order striking the claim in its entirety. Further, we
>> find that the Prothonotary made no error in denying leave to amend.
>> The deficiencies in Mr. Amos’ pleadings are so extensive such that
>> amendment could not cure them (see Collins at para. 26).
>>
>> V. Conclusion
>> [37] For the foregoing reasons, we would allow the Crown’s
>> cross-appeal, with costs, setting aside the Federal Court Judgment,
>> dated January 25, 2016 and restoring the Prothonotary’s Order, dated
>> November 12, 2015, which struck Mr. Amos’ Claim in its entirety

Dear Ms. Mitchell:

Further to the Order of the Energy and Utilities Board (Board) in this

Irving Oil supporters and skeptics lining up on opposite sides of
company price hike request

Energy and Utilities Board holds first hearing into requested
wholesale margin increases today
Robert Jones · CBC News · Posted: Jan 25, 2021 7:26 AM AT

An initial hearing into Irving Oil's request for increases in
petroleum wholesale prices begins today in front of the New Brunswick
Energy and Utilities Board with supporters raising the stark prospect
of the company shutting down if it does not get what it is asking for
and skeptics warning the board against being manipulated.

"We must be cautiously aware that no business is too big to fail,"
read one letter on the issue received and posted publicly last week by
the EUB.

"They are playing the Board," read another about the company's application.

New Brunswick adopted petroleum price regulation in 2006 and put the
Energy and Utilities Board in place to oversee it. Currently
wholesalers are allowed to add 6.51 cents per litre to the price of
motor fuels they handle (gasoline and diesel) and 5.5 cents per litre
to furnace oil.

Irving Oil is applying for a 62.8 per cent (4.09 cent per litre)
increase in the allowed wholesale margin for motor fuels and a 54.9
per cent (3.02 cent per litre) increase in the margin for furnace oil.
New Brunswick's Energy and Utilities Board has scheduled a full
hearing into Irving Oil's request for wholesale petroleum price
increases for March 30. It will hear arguments Monday for and against
an emergency interim increase. (Robert Jones/CBC News)

The increases are substantially more than the 11 per cent growth in
inflation that has occurred since the margins last changed in March
2013, but the company says fundamental changes in the oil industry and
a sudden collapse in demand for petroleum products caused by the
COVID-19 pandemic have rendered those old amounts obsolete.

"Petroleum pricing regulations in New Brunswick were created 15 years
ago," Darren Gillis, Irving Oil chief marketing officer, said in an
affidavit supporting the application. "They did not contemplate the
challenges of the last several years and were not designed to react to
a global pandemic."

If granted in full, the increases would apply to all New Brunswick
wholesalers and would cost consumers about $60 million per year in
higher retail prices.

The Energy and Utilities Board has tentatively scheduled a full
hearing into the matter for the end of March, but in its application
Irving Oil said its situation is dire and it cannot wait that long for
relief.

Energy and Utilities Board approve $60 million in increased petroleum
margins for New Brunswick wholesalers. (Irving Oil)

Instead it is asking for 85 per cent of the requested increase on
motor fuels (3.5 cents) and 99 per cent of the increase on furnace oil
(3.0 cents) to be granted immediately pending the outcome of the full
hearing next spring.

"The entire supply chain in under pressure and at risk," Gillis said
in the application. "COVID-19 has exacerbated challenges for the
industry and urgent action is required."

That tone has alarmed supporters of Irving Oil who fear the company is
in trouble. Last week, the company announced layoffs at its Saint
John refinery and worried suppliers have been mobilizing to urge the
EUB to grant its request in full.

Eric Lloyd is president of Sunny Corner Enterprises Inc., an
industrial construction firm in Miramichi that does business with
Irving Oil.

Lloyd wrote to the EUB to say it "must take action to understand the
economic forces that are stressing a very important contributor to our
economy," and warned it is not "too big to fail" in asking its request
be granted.

group Grassroots NB, one of several groups registered to oppose Irving
Oil's application. (Tori Weldon/CBC News)

Another Irving supplier, Lorneville Mechanical Contractors Ltd. in
Saint John, also sent a letter expressing concern about the company's
financial health.

"We understand that Irving Oil has identified New Brunswick's highly
regulated fuel pricing system as a challenge to its ability to operate
reliably and sustainably," wrote Lorneville's president Jim Brewer, in
endorsing immediate increases.

Local building trade unions warned the viability of the refinery
itself could hinge on the EUB's decision.

"It would be devastating to lose this asset," wrote union president
Jean-Marc Ringuette in his letter supporting Irving Oil's request.

But others are skeptical.

A number of anti-poverty, union and social justice organizations have
signed up to oppose Irving Oil's application and a clutch of private
citizens, like Saint John resident Mary Milander, also sent letters
opposing the increase.

"I believe that that the people of Saint John and the whole province
have suffered financially much more than the oil industry during the
pandemic," Milander wrote to the board.

early controversy about Irving Oil's request by writing a letter to
the Energy and Utilities Board telling it the application should be
dealt with quickly. (Radio-Canada)

Although yet to start, the hearing has already been highly
controversial following news last week that New Brunswick Natural
Resources Minister Mike Holland sent his own letter to the EUB
expressing concerns about Irving Oil's ability to supply products at
current prices.

That led to criticism from all three opposition parties and a call for
Holland to resign from Green Party Leader David Coon. Premier Blaine
Higgs defended Holland's intervention.

The EUB has granted interim relief to applicants in other cases
before, but normally on the condition money collected from consumers
be returned if the increases are later found to be unjustified.

A complicating factor in Irving Oil's application for immediate relief
is that Gillis has acknowledged that other than home heating oil
sales, returning money to customers will not be possible.

"In the unlikely case the permanent increase for motor fuels is lower
than the interim increase, Irving Oil cannot effectively and fairly
rebate the difference," he said.

Irving Oil request for 'urgent' wholesale price hike stalls over
redacted evidence

Energy and Utilities Board adjourns to allow groups opposing price
increase to argue for access to evidence
Robert Jones · CBC News · Posted: Jan 25, 2021 5:58 PM AT

Irving Oil Ltd. is applying for a 62.8 per cent (4.09 cent per litre)
increase in the allowed wholesale margin for motor fuels and a 54.9
per cent (3.02 cent per litre) increase in the margin for furnace oil.
(Devaan Ingraham/Reuters )

Irving Oil's attempt to win immediate wholesale petroleum price
increases from the New Brunswick Energy and Utilities Board stalled
quickly Monday over objections from a variety of community
organizations that too much of the application is based on secret
material.

"The amount of information that is redacted in these documents makes
it very difficult for our organization to meaningfully participate,"
said Abram Lutes with the New Brunswick Common Front for Social
Justice

"It limits our ability to participate meaningfully and to advocate on
behalf of low income workers and people in poverty."

Several other groups expressed similar concerns and the EUB's acting
Chair Francois Beaulieu scheduled a hearing Friday morning to deal
with the objections. That forced a delay in Irving Oil's request for
immediate increases in wholesale petroleum margins at least until next
week.

Oil's requests. (Graham Thompson/CBC)

"The board will adjourn and we'll await the interveners to file their
objections," said Beaulieu.

Until recently, Irving Oil has shown little outward concern about
petroleum wholesale margins in New Brunswick. Since 2016, it twice
declined to participate in scheduled reviews of the issue by the
board, including the latest one launched in 2019.
COVID-19 has affected business

But the company says the COVID-19 pandemic has hit its business hard,
and it now requires immediate changes.

In prepared remarks for the EUB on Monday that he was ultimately
unable to deliver before proceedings adjourned Irving Oil marketing
president Darren Gillis planned to outline the company's hardships

"We've reduced spending across the company, cancelled projects, and
unfortunately reduced our employee and contractor workforce," said the
prepared remarks.

"Significant sales declines (Jet Fuel, Marine Fuel and Transportation
Fuel) and higher costs are having a serious impact on the entire
supply chain. No one, no company is insulated from the impacts of the
pandemic, including Irving Oil."
Company asks for substantial increases

The company is applying for a 62.8 per cent (4.09 cent per litre)
increase in the allowed wholesale margin for motor fuels and a 54,9
per cent (3.02 cent per litre) increase in the margin for furnace oil.

It is asking that prior to a full hearing in late March, 85 per cent
of the requested increase on motor fuels (3.5 cents) and 99 per cent
of the increase on furnace oil (3.0 cents) be granted immediately

The increases are substantially more than the 11 per cent growth in
inflation that has occurred since the margins last changed in March
2013. But much of Irving Oil's evidence in support of changes that
large is not being publicly shared to protect company operational and
financial information, an immediate sticking point Monday

Irving Oil supporters and skeptics lining up on opposite sides of
company price hike request

Beaulieu noted the EUB itself along with public intervener Heather
Black and any experts they hire are permitted to view all the
material, but that did little to satisfy several participants.

Hafsah Mohammad with the Moncton social justice and climate action
group Grassroots NB expressed support for Black's role but said more
perspectives on Irving Oil's application are needed

"I think that has a problematic element with one person speaking for
the entire public," said Mohammad.

"I thought that's why there are interveners. If it is solely on
Heather Black I am concerned with just one person being assigned to
this role."
Natural Resources and Energy Development Minister Mike Holland wrote a
letter to New Brunswick's Energy and Utilities Board, in which he said
an Irving Oil application for petroleum price increases should be
dealt with quickly. (Radio-Canada)

Mohammad also pressed Beaulieu to explain his view on a letter sent to
the EUB by Mike Holland, the New Brunswick natural resources and
energy development minister, and its effect on the hearing..

Holland wrote to the board on Jan. 6, one day after Irving Oil filed
its application, to back the company's request for an "expedited"
review.

"I did not have any intention to comment on the letter but if an
intervener does put it forward I'll comment on it," said Beaulieu.

"I'm putting it forward," said Mohammad

Beaulieu said all citizens have a right to send letters to comment on
matters before the board, and he viewed Holland's as just one of many
that have arrived from the public.
Irving oil lawyer concerned over delay

"Any person in the province of New Brunswick can comment on any
proceeding of the board," said Beaulieu "We're independent and that
will continue."

Irving Oil lawyer Len Hoyt expressed concern about delays in getting
to the request for immediate price increases, but the application is
effectively on hold for a week while the company's reliance on
confidential information is dealt with first

"The urgency and the expediency of this is of upmost importance to my
client." said Hoyt.

Hanwell man sues NB Liquor over agency store contract

Moncton's Power Plus Technology won the agency store contract
CBC News · Posted: Apr 23, 2013 9:35 AM AT

A Hanwell convenience store is launching a lawsuit against NB Liquor
to ensure the proper process was put in place in approving a new
agency store licence 1:44

A Fredericton-area convenience store owner is taking NB Liquor to
court to find out why a Moncton company received an agency liquor
store in Hanwell.

NB Liquor’s decision to award Moncton’s Power Plus Technology the
contract to build an agency store next to the Trans-Canada Highway,
near Hanwell, has sparked a local controversy.

The decision has been the focus of public meetings and a petition.

Now Chris Scholten said he is preparing to take the fight to another
level to find out why the two local companies lost out to the Moncton
business.

Scholten said the only way to receive a fair and independent review of
NB Liquor’s decision is to head to court.

bids to set up a NB Liquor agency store in the Fredericton-area
community. (CBC)

"I’m just looking for a fair, independent review of the decision
process to ensure that the right process was followed, following the
guidelines and the request for proposal to which we applied," he said.

Daniel Allain, the president of NB Liquor, said in February the Crown
corporation formed an internal agency store task force to review the
expansion of the agency store network.

At the time, Allain said the decision to create the task force was
intended to guarantee an "open and transparent process."

NB Liquor did not comment on Monday as the Hanwell decision is now
heading to court.

But Scholten said NB Liquor has not been open with him on how the
decision was made.

"Unfortunately we’ve just been hit with roadblock after roadblock. We
are just being ignored quite frankly," he said.

Scholten asked the ombudsman's office to investigate.

The office has agreed to review the file but Scholten said he's heard
nothing from the independent office so far.

But Scholten’s lawyer did hear from NB Liquor late on Monday afternoon.

The agency received documentation that had been requested a month ago
under the province’s Right to Information and Protection of Privacy
Act.

Scholten said he will look through the information with his lawyer but
he still plans to take legal action.

NB Liquor agency store contract in Hanwell sparks anger
Social Sharing

Community group argues contract should have gone to a local bidder,
not Moncton company
CBC News · Posted: Feb 21, 2013 7:19 PM AT
Liquor store controversy

8 years ago 2:03

NB Liquor's decision to award the contract for a new agency store in
Hanwell to a Moncton-based company instead of a local one has sparked
the creation of a new community group and a petition 2:03

NB Liquor's decision to award the contract for a new agency store in
Hanwell to a Moncton-based company instead of a local one has sparked
the creation of a new community group and a petition.

Gayla Macintosh, a member of the Concerned Citizens of Hanwell,
contends NB Liquor broke its own rules with the decision.

The Crown agency's guidelines call for contracts for agency stories to
be awarded to local businesses, she said.

Scholten's Convenience Store and the nearby Hanwell Village Mart had
both submitted bids to operate the new agency store.

But Power Plus Technology, owners of the Magnetic Hill Esso gas
station, was the successful bidder for the store, which will be built
next to the Trans Canada Highway near Hanwell, along with a brand gas
bar and convenience store.

"One of the guidelines is that they want it to be a centrally-located
place and this would be it — one of these two stores would be it — and
we don't know why," said Macintosh.
'Unfair' decision
NB Liquor plans to open 10 new agency stores this year. (CBC)

The group is encouraging citizens who oppose the "unfair" decision to
sign a petition supporting a Hanwell bid and to send an email
expressing their "displeasure" to the premier, finance minister, the
local MLA and the head of NB Liquor.

The decision simply doesn't make sense, said Josh Allen, a regular
customer at Scholten's.

"Better here for the economy, for Scholten's itself, bring more
business here, rather than have a business from out of town come in
and take over their clientele," he said.

NB Liquor spokeswoman Marcelle Saulnier says decisions about where the
10 new agency stores will go this year is based on customer traffic,
location and site evaluation, among other criteria.

"In this case we hired a firm to go look at the various proposals that
we accepted and they came back with a scoring," she said.

The criteria does give points for being locally-owned and operated,
but it's low on the list, said Saulnier.

None of the companies' owners would comment on Thursday.

The Concerned Citizens of Hanwell will be holding an information
session on Monday at 7 p.m. at the Starlite Lodge. The group has
invited NB Liquor CEO Daniel Allain to attend.

NB Liquor agency store dispute in Hanwell goes to ombudsman

Convenience store owner contends contract should have gone to local bidder

lost a bid to operate the agency store. (CBC)

The owner of a convenience store near Fredericton who lost his bid to
become an agency store for NB Liquor is taking his case to the
provincial ombudsman.

Chris Scholten, of Scholten's Convenience Store in Hanwell, contends
local bidders are supposed to be given preference.

But the Hanwell contract went to Moncton-based gas retailer Power Plus
Technology instead.

Scholten says he's gone through the NB Liquor review process, has
spoken to the president of the Crown agency and even put a call in to
the minister of finance, but is still not satisfied with the answers
he's received about why the other company won.

"We feel that even the mandate of this agency program has been
violated. We feel that the procedures that were to be followed have
been violated. And we question the evaluations of the independent
proposals as well — that they were unfairly evaluated," he said.

"So we're just looking for an independent review to make sure that the
proper decision was made."

store in Hanwell. (CBC)

Hanwell Village Mart had also applied to be an agency store.

Jason Lutes, the owner of Power Plus Technology, has said he believes
the matter is being blown out of proportion and denied being awarded
the contract because of any political connections.

He was already planning to build a convenience store in the area
before the call for applications from NB Liquor for an agency store,
he said.

Lutes will build the store next to the Trans-Canada Highway near
Hanwell, along with a gas bar and convenience store.

Some Hanwell residents have expressed concerns the new store will pull
business away from existing stores in the area. The issue has sparked
the creation of a new community group called Concerned Citizens of
Hanwell and a petition.

NB Liquor officials have said decisions about new agency stores are
based on customer traffic, location and site evaluation, among other
criteria.

'Double taxation' cut will energize private sector, say N.B. business leaders

Province reducing tax on buildings like rental properties by 50%
Colin McPhail · CBC News · Posted: Mar 10, 2020 8:44 PM AT

Rental property owners and business officials say new tax cuts
announced by the Progressive Conservative government Tuesday will help
stoke the New Brunswick economy and spur construction.

Finance Minister Ernie Steeves announced a 50 per cent reduction in
the provincial non-owner-occupied property residential tax over a
four-year period starting in the 2021 taxation year.

Owners and developers have long sought to scrap the so-called "double
tax" which levies a provincial tax on top of the municipal tax for
buildings like rental properties and cottages.

Willy Scholten, president of the New Brunswick Apartment Owners
Association, said his group has been lobbying government officials on
the issue since 2004.

He believes the move will lead to new construction.
Bryan Eneas/CBC

"We have a lot of issues right now with not enough supply of rental
apartments in the province, and a lot of our association attributes a
lot of that to this double taxation," Scholten said following
Steeves's address in the legislature.

"We don't have outside people coming to the province and saying this
is a good place to do business."

The tax rate will drop from $1.233 per $100 of assessed value to
$0.5617 — or about 14.04 cents per year until 2024.

The owners' association has proposed phasing the tax out completely
over a three-year period, but Scholten said this is a step in the
right direction.

"We hope that they continue after here to the eventual full
elimination, so we are no longer offside with the rest of the
country," said Scholten, adding New Brunswick is the lone Canadian
jurisdiction to impose such a tax.

More budget day coverage:

Could the tax savings be passed onto tenants? Scholten said it's too
early to tell.

"It's not a full elimination and we don't know what's going to happen
with assessments either along the way," he said. "So we'll have to
wait to see what happens with our property tax bills."

The PCs also plan to reduce the non-residential property tax rate —
including commercial and industrial buildings — by 8.25 cents per year
until 2024. That will decrease the rate from $2.1860 per $100 of
assessment to $1.8560.

The $10.2-billion provincial budget projects a $92.4-million surplus
and to reduce the net debt by $129.3 million. The budget is buoyed,
however, by a $200-million increase in federal transfer payments.

"We have to, beyond balancing the budget, give back," Steeves told reporters.

"We thought [the tax reductions] were ones that would help businesses
and, ultimately, help a lot of New Brunswickers and, ultimately, help
the economy of New Brunswick."

'You have to focus on the private sector'

The budget struck a chord with People's Alliance Leader Kris Austin.
His party has long argued against double taxation for
non-owner-occupied properties.

"If you want true economic growth, you have to focus on the private
sector," he said. "The best way to that is tax reduction and
deregulation."

Austin said all three Alliance members will vote in favour, while
Liberal Leader Kevin Vickers maintained that his party will vote
against the budget in an attempt to topple the government.
Ed Hunter/CBC

Green Leader David Coon told reporters his caucus — and its three
crucial votes — has reserved a decision until meeting to discuss.

Also included in the budget is the Higgs government's carbon pricing
plan. It will be set at 6.6 cents per litre at the pumps — same as the
federal backstop — but the Tories will cut the New Brunswick gas tax
by 4.6 cents, creating a net two-cent increase.

The government has not passed its carbon tax legislation and if the
budget is defeated and an election is called, it won't get the chance,
meaning the federal price will be in place on April 1.

David Duplisea, CEO of the Saint John Region Chamber of Commerce, said
if that's the case, it will make New Brunswick less competitive with
neighbouring provinces like Nova Scotia.

Encouraged by the private-sector support, Duplisea said there isn't
anything in or not in the budget worth toppling the government over.

He said many of his 700 members wanted the tax breaks in one form or
another, and this creates a "positive investment climate."

"These items … we have been asking for these and we're confident that
this will help to spur investment in our respective regions and in the
province as a whole," Duplisea said.

Both the Saint John and Fredericton chambers of commerce lauded the
government for reducing the net debt and balancing the budget.

Krista Ross, CEO of the Fredericton Chamber of Commerce, specifically
highlighted the double taxation policy in a statement Tuesday.

"This will make business in New Brunswick more competitive and give us
a chance to build economic momentum, which in turn will allow
government to further reduce debt and deliver more services," Ross
said.

"In the coming years, this will be even more important as we cannot
expect to receive large increases in equalization payments on an
annual basis."

Forcing builders to include low-income units not a solution, say developers

Social Development Minister Dorothy Shephard open to exploring
inclusionary zoning
CBC News · Posted: Dec 12, 2019 6:02 PM AT | Last Updated: December 12, 2019

differently than owner-occupied properties has long been a complaint
among landlords and developers. (Bryan Eneas/CBC)

Two Fredericton developers question the wisdom of implementing
inclusionary zoning, a policy that forces developers to include
affordable units in their projects.

Social Development Minister Dorothy Shephard has said it would be
"interesting" to explore a proposed Montreal bylaw that would make
developers either set aside a certain number of units in their
buildings as affordable units or pay into a fund for social housing.

"I think with the help of our municipalities that it's worthy of
looking at," Shephard said.

But Jeff Yerxa, the president and CEO of Ross Ventures Ltd., said
while the idea is worth looking at, any development would still have
to make money, and mandating units could make that difficult for
certain projects.
Sees problem with some developments

"I think that every development has got its own place in the market,"
Yerxa said.

"If you're doing a big waterfront development, I think it's tough to
include affordable housing … I don't think it's reasonable for the
province to subsidize rent for affordable housing for people in, you
know, developments such as that."

Province to spend $629K on new affordable housing units over 3
years, $12M on repairs

Willy Scholten, the president of the NB Apartment Owners Association,
said he opposes any new "hurdles."

"The problem with doing this ... inclusionary zoning … is [it's]
another hurdle for development," said Scholten.

"If we start doing more and more of putting more and more hurdles we
have less development. If we have less development, we have less
units."

Scholten said the province could do more to increase development by
ending the so-called "double tax" on rental properties.
No exemption

"We need to fix that, and that'll make affordability easier and make
the whole development easier," said Scholten.

"We'll get more development. More development will mean the vacancy
rates will go up. Rental rates will go down."

The province's practice of taxing non-owner-occupied properties
differently from owner-occupied properties has long been a complaint
among landlords and developers.

await affordable housing

The tax sees landlords pay both municipal and provincial property
taxes on their rental properties and aren't eligible for a break on
those.

While owner-occupied properties also are assessed taxes by both the
province and municipality, the owners can receive tax credits that
largely eliminate the provincial portion.

Scholten said the province is bringing in enough revenue to offset
what it would lose in revenue if it ended the "double tax." If that
happened, landlords would be willing to freeze rental rates for a
period, he said.

Property tax cut benefits landlords, says NDP leader

CBC News · Posted: Sep 18, 2012 6:21 AM AT

New Democratic Party Leader Dominic Cardy says landlords in New
Brunswick appear to be backing away from a promise on lower rents.

Last week, the provincial government announced it is cutting property
taxes for the owners of apartment buildings, but won't force them to
pass the savings to tenants.

The NDP leader said the landlords should stand by what they said.

on lower rents. (CBC)

"I think they need to go back to look at the statements they made a
few months ago," Cardy said.

"I think they need to be held to account, and the government does as
well, because they said the purpose of this was to help renters, and
instead it's going to help just the landlords, and that's not fair."

The provincial budget in March promised a gradual reduction in property taxes.
Election promise

Back then, Willy Scholten of the New Brunswick Apartment Owners
Association predicted the provincial government would force landlords
to pass on the savings.

"I would see the government not giving up the revenue without some
sort of legislation to make sure that it does happen, and we would
support that," Scholten said at the time.

Last week, Scholten no longer supported provincial government
enforcement of lower rental fees.

"We're private business, and we believe that the markets should
dictate that, so we wouldn't agree with that," he said.

Scholten said he would support enforcement if the tenant tax were
eliminated altogether, but that's not happening.

He said with other costs rising, the gradual tax reduction isn't
enough for landlords to even freeze rents.

The 2010 Progressive Conservative election platform promised that an
"easing" of the tenant tax would "benefit those living in apartments."

It now appears that promise will only be kept by landlords who choose
to honour it.

Bruce Fitch plans overhaul of property tax system

'Spike protection' mechanism will guard against assessment hikes above 10%
CBC News · Posted: Sep 12, 2012 11:04 AM AT

Local Government Minister Bruce Fitch announced a series of property
tax reform proposals on Wednesday. (CBC)

New Brunswick homeowners will be offered a new "spike protection"
mechanism to guard against large property tax assessment hikes, Local
Government Minister Bruce Fitch announced on Wednesday.

Fitch released a discussion document on property tax reform that
called for a number of changes.

"We are fulfilling our commitment to make a fairer and more effective
property tax system," Fitch said in a statement.

As a part of the provincial government’s proposed package of reforms,
the three-per-cent property tax freeze is being lifted.

The local government minister said homeowners will be moving back to a
market-value system where their property assessments, which are used
to calculate property taxes, can fluctuate.

Fitch said there will be a permanent exemption given for the 146,000
homeowners who took advantage of the two-year assessment cap.

For example, if a person saved $10,000 between the 2012 market value
and the 2012 capped value of their property, they will receive an
exemption for that rate. So every year when that person's property
assessment comes in, they will be exempted for $10,000.

However, when they sell their house, the new owner will pay the full
market rate.

The provincial government estimates it will take about 20 years for
all the exemptions to work their way out of the system.

As well, homeowners will be given the option of paying for their
property taxes monthly instead of in one large annual payment.

The provincial government will also introduce a mechanism to safeguard
homeowners from property tax, assessment increases of more than 10 per
cent.
Ending 'double taxation'

Another element of the property tax plan is to reduce the amount of
tax by 23 per cent that is imposed on rental properties, commercial
properties and second homes.

Building owners have complained for years they have to pass on the
extra cost to tenants.

There's also to be help for homeowners.

Fitch said he hopes the change will mean relief for tenants.

"This will help the landlords, and we expect those savings will be
passed on to the renters, to help either lower rent, improve the
quality of housing, or mitigate any planned increases in the rental
prices," Fitch said.

But the reforms announced on Wednesday will not force apartment
building owners to pass on the savings.

Owners say the tax break isn't enough to guarantee rent reductions but
it may help landlords put off rent increases.

Other elements of the property tax reform paper include:

Property tax bills will be simplified.
A new cost-sharing model for RCMP services that will more fairly
distributing costs among all users.
Minimizing the impact of these reforms on farmers, homeowners and
businesses in local service districts.
Exempting libraries from property tax.

The tax reduction doesn't go far enough, according to Willy Sholten of
the New Brunswick Apartment Owners Association.

"This will mean that we'll still be 1.8 times the single family rate
and 1.8 times the average in Canada. So there's still quite a gap. But
the government has done something and it's being portrayed as the
first phase."

But any tax reduction is good, according to Kevin Lacey, Atlantic
director of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation.

"This tax reduction will mean that those living in apartments in the
long-term will likely see a benefit. And this combined with the
government's announcement in the budget that it will freeze rental
rates is a good thing for taxpayers of the province."

The provincial government says it won't be losing money because of the
tax reductions.

It expects it'll be covered by a doubling of the real property
transfer fee in the last budget that should generate up to an extra $8
million each year.

MLA ends protest following commitment from premier to work on anti-racism legislation

Ali Duale was planning not to be at Province House for the duration of the fall sitting

Liberal MLA Ali Duale says he will take his seat this week at Province House following a commitment from Nova Scotia's premier to bring in anti-racism legislation in the spring.

Duale, who represents Halifax Armdale, said PC Premier Tim Houston sent a letter Monday inviting the Liberal caucus to establish an all-party committee that will "produce legislation to address systemic racism in government." The NDP was also invited.

He told reporters at Province House that Houston first floated the idea by him during a conversation on Friday.

"This is how this legislature is supposed to be," said Duale.

"We've been elected across this province as Nova Scotians with the best interest of Nova Scotians. My hope as a rookie politician [is] to see my term, this mindset and this collaboration to continue [on] every subject matter."

New Democrat MLA Suzy Hansen says she's looking forward to a collaborative approach to drafting legislation. (Robert Short/CBC)

New Democrat MLA Suzy Hansen said her party would also participate in the committee to draft legislation. She said she's keeping an open mind on how the work will play out, but she is a fan of the approach.

"I think if we did that for everything that would be amazing, because then all of us could have our say on what we think is important from each of our perspectives," Hansen told reporters.

"I'm all about educating and making sure that we're looking at it from the proper lens and utilizing all of our conversations and being able to talk about it candidly and then coming to, hopefully, a consensus of a conclusion to do the right thing."

'We want to get this right'

Houston told reporters it made sense to bring everyone together on the bill, because "that's the way the system works best."

"We'll expand the group out to community members, as well. We want to get it right. It's important. It's an important time for Nova Scotia and we want to get this right."

The premier said he'd previously asked African Nova Scotian Affairs Minister Pat Dunn to assemble an all-party committee to talk about "a broad range of issues."

Duale announced last week he intended not to sit at the legislature for the duration of the fall sitting as a form of protest, until the government agreed to pass Bill 12, a piece of anti-racism legislation put forward by the Nova Scotia Liberal Party.

At the time, Houston said the province's Office of Equity and Anti-Racism was working on similar legislation, but he did not think it would be ready for the fall sitting. He committed to having the office marry it with parts of the Liberal bill.

Staffer fired for racist comments about MLA

Duale's planned protest followed revelations that his Liberal colleague, Preston MLA Angela Simmonds, was the subject of racist comments by a political staffer in a social media message exchange.

Houston, upon learning of the comments, informed Simmonds, Liberal Leader Iain Rankin, and then fired the staffer, who worked with the Justice Department.

Last Friday, Duale said without a clear commitment to legislation aimed at removing racism from government institutions, MLAs of colour could not truly feel safe at work. Province House could not be considered the people's House if the members who sat there could not support such legislation, he said.

In his statement, Duale touched on why the issue is so important.

"As the first Muslim and first refugee to be elected to the Nova Scotia Legislature, this bill speaks to the very reason I chose to enter politics," Duale said in his statement Tuesday.

"I firmly believe this bill sets politics aside and puts the people first — a principle that guides me as I serve as MLA."

MLAs speak in support of colleague after racist comments come to light

Angela Simmonds was the target of remarks by a now-former political staffer

Opposition members stood in solidarity Friday with Liberal MLA Angela Simmonds at Province House after learning she was the subject of racist comments by a political staffer.

The staffer, who worked with the Justice Department, was fired by Premier Tim Houston on Thursday after he learned of the comments. The premier informed Simmonds and Liberal Leader Iain Rankin of what happened shortly after he learned about it.

On Friday, during members' statements at Province House, all Liberal MLAs and some New Democrats dedicated their statements to speaking in support of Simmonds, as well as the other Black MLAs in the House — Ali Duale, Suzy Hansen and Tony Ince.

Simmonds said she was overwhelmed and moved by the support of her colleagues.

"I have fought issues before, but it was the very first time in a long time where it was a family and I could just feel people's emotions forming," she told reporters at Province House.

"It was a complete privilege and honour to be standing there witnessing that."

While racism might not be regularly discussed on the floor of the legislature, Simmonds said current and past Black MLAs have been having these conversations and experiences. The conversations need to keep happening, she said.

"We need to be comfortable in our discomfort," Simmonds said. "Saying, 'We acknowledge it and we care,' is not enough.

"It is not enough because we were elected officials to be here and it is not OK to say that we are going to do better. We need to see that we're doing better."

Hansen, the NDP member for Halifax Needham, said it's one thing for conversations to happen inside the chamber, but she said those conversations also need to happen in smaller groups among MLAs.

"We need to have some heart-to-heart conversations, to be uncomfortable, to feel that, but also to share," she told reporters.

"And we need to do that in a space that's going to be safe for everyone."

Premier Tim Houston said his government is working on an anti-racism piece of legislation. (Robert Short/CBC)

The premier told reporters that much work remains to fight racism in the province and his government is committed to doing its part.

"There's a lot of initiatives, many initiatives that had already been started by the previous government through the Office of Equity and Anti-Racism. We support those strongly and we'll continue to do as much as possible to fight racism in this province," said Houston.

Simmonds and the Liberals have argued the situation that played out Thursday illustrates the need for a bill they've put forward that would define racism and hate, and create an action plan to remove it from government departments and Crown corporations.

Duale announced that beginning Tuesday, as a form of protest, he will not take his seat in the House during the fall sitting unless that bill is passed.

The Halifax-Armdale MLA said the bill was the key reason he entered politics, and a legislature that cannot support such a bill cannot be considered the people's House.

Ali Duale speaks to reporters about Bill 12 outside the chamber at Province House on Friday. (Robert Short/CBC)

"If these things are taking place inside this House, do you think the community is safe? If this happens [to] one of us, do you think anybody is safe? And if this is ignored, do you think we believe there is justice, fairness and human rights? I don't think so, and that's why I'm making this decision," said Duale.

Rankin said he supports Duale's protest.

Houston said he backs the intent of the Liberals' bill, but said something similar is already being drafted by the Office of Equity and Anti-Racism. While he doesn't think it will be ready in time for this sitting, the premier said it would marry elements of the Liberal bill and he's willing to work with them.

"We just need to make sure that we do the work to get it right [before] we move forward," said Houston.

N.S. premier fires political staffer for comments about Liberal MLA

Angela Simmonds says she deserves to feel safe at Province House

Nova Scotia Premier Tim Houston fired a political staffer on Thursday after learning they made racist comments about Liberal MLA Angela Simmonds in a social media exchange.

Houston had a meeting with Simmonds and Liberal Leader Iain Rankin to inform them about it shortly after it was brought to his attention by his own staff.

"The premier wanted to let me know that there was some racist, inappropriate, derogatory comments made about me on social media by one of his staffers," Simmonds said in an interview.

The messages were exchanged between the staffer, who worked with the Justice department, and a friend. In Snapchat exchanges the staffer said Simmonds didn't know what she was talking about and was quick to "play the race card."

Simmonds said the premier made clear the staffer's actions weren't acceptable and wouldn't be tolerated within government. She's hopeful something positive can come from it.

"That something is going to be that you cannot treat people this way or say things about people without having consequences for your actions, in particular when we serve the public," she said.

"I can't come into a legislature as a Black woman, doing my job in a space that it doesn't feel safe and every time I raise issues of importance it then becomes about a Black woman who doesn't know what she's talking about or playing a race card or those sort of behaviours."

Simmonds said it was particularly troubling because she'd been in meetings with the staffer in her capacity as the Liberal justice critic.

Zero tolerance for inappropriate behaviour: premier

The premier said he was "taken aback" upon learning what happened. He said he wanted Simmonds to hear about it from him and to know he'd be taking action.

"There is zero tolerance for any type of inappropriate behaviour," Houston said in an interview.

The attention of his government is focused on "making sure that people know there's no room for racism in our society," he said. There will always be work to do on the issue and Houston said he's committed to doing it.

"I haven't walked in the shoes. I'm always trying to learn and to listen and to be respectful."

The Liberals have a bill before the House aimed at creating a multi-year strategy and action plan to eliminate racism and hate from government departments, Crown corporations and arm's-length organizations. It includes definitions for what constitutes racism and hate.

Simmonds said passing that legislation would send the message that "we were heard, and we matter."

"Change is about progression and that's what this bill would mean, is that we are moving forward. We're defining things that have never been defined before … And it raises the bar of how we need to treat people."

Justice minister says street checks loophole to be closed next month

Brad Johns says he expects to issue a ministerial directive by the end of November

Michael Gorman· CBC News · Posted: Oct 28, 2021 5:27 PM AT

Nova Scotia Justice Minister Brad Johns says the loophole on street checks will be closed by the end of November.

Johns was asked several times during question period Thursday about his department's plans to do away with a provision that allows police street checks to persist under the guise of investigating suspicious activity.

It's been established already that the practice is illegal and disproportionately targets Black people and other people of colour. The former Liberal government brought in a ban on the practice, however the loophole remained.

Johns told reporters at Province House that he expects to be able to issue a ministerial directive by the end of November. The minister said most of the work required has been completed, but he wants to have a chance first to meet with representatives from Black communities to make sure things are correct.

"That's the most important thing to me," said Johns.

Preston MLA Angela Simmonds is the Nova Scotia Liberal Party's justice critic. (Jean Laroche/CBC)

Liberal justice critic Angela Simmonds, whose district of Preston includes several historical Black communities, noted the government already has recommendations from the Decade for People of African Descent Coalition.

"This isn't anything new," Simmonds told reporters. "What's new is that we represent the voices in the House."

Simmonds said she doesn't think there's been much of a reduction in street checks since they were banned because of how much discretion remains for police. She said clarifying the language would help officers, too.

"This isn't just for communities, but it's actually to protect law enforcement as well because they do have to do their job," she said.

"And so we can appreciate the kind of grey area that this has caused, for sure. But what we do know is it is illegal and it continues to be illegal until the legislation changes and until they address the language."

My Mission as MLA for Cumberland North

Now is ReBuilding Cumberland North Together with you

Building on a Foundation of -

Truth and Justice
Determination and Dedication
Servant Leadership
And Honesty

We will Build On the Pillars of -

Timely Access to Health Care when needed
Poverty Reduction and Empowering All People
Environment and Caring for our Earth
Entrepreneurship and Business

Last week in Politics

Monday I attended an important meeting with my colleague Tory Rushton in Cumberland South and Mayor Murray Scott with staff from the Northern Zone Nova Scotia Health to discuss the urgent need for nursing staff at Cumberland Regional and All Saints Hospital.

If you know of any nurses that may be interested in “coming home” to Cumberland to work in one of our hospitals please share with them the links below. You can also encourage them to reach out to me and I will personally make sure that a local nurse manager gets their resume. One of the major problems contributing to this problem of lack of nurses is the centralization of power and control leading to a very ineffective hiring process which has very limited actual human connection and no local decision making. I am confident based on the PC health plan, that positive changes are coming that will improve these hiring processes. In the meantime we do need to urgently help to fix our current situation so that the nurses we do have will stay to care for you and I and our families.

This is the link to public postings for registered nurse positions at Nova Scotia Health https://jobs.nshealth.ca/nsha/go/Registered-Nurse/2570417/
and the link to licensed practical nurse positions https://jobs.nshealth.ca/nsha/go/Licensed-Practical-Nurse/2570517/

After working in my office I joined some friends in the campaign HQ for Dr Stephen Ellis. Dr Ellis won the election here in the riding of Cumberland Colchester. I look forward to working with him. He seems equally as concerned about the violations of the Canada Health Act and I am confident together we can produce an effective voice for our area.

Tuesday I held meetings with constituents. I also joined Sheila Christie, Brad from the Wesleyan Church and Denise Allen at 26 Maltby Court in Amherst to show our community the newest Food pantry that is set up. Denise came to me during the election in August and told me she was concerned about children and families going hungry. We contacted Sheila who started a food pantry, the one across from Maggie’s Place and contacted the Wesleyan Church about a location and voila, one month later it is done. “Leave what you can and take what you need” concept. Together we can accomplish anything we set our minds to, let’s work to remove barriers and have a ‘can-do” attitude despite the challenges we may face.
In the evening I attended the Annual General Meeting in the evening for the Pugwash Village Commission.

Wednesday I had a meeting with the Atlantic Physicians Provider Services Society, a group of local business women and men led by Mr. Sean Cheverie.
I met with the Cumberland County Transportation Services Board. CCTS provides valuable transportation in the county. If you are looking for an area to help in our county, consider joining this board. They are also looking for more drivers. If you have time and want to help please contact Helen Sims at 902-667-8149. The CCTS is regulated by the provincial Utility and Review Board and I will be exploring ways to support this important board and the transportation services it provides.

In addition to having meetings with constituents on Wednesday, we held our first Grassroots Democracy gathering here in Amherst. There were approximately 30 people in attendance and we had a healthy robust brainstorming session. We discussed issues we wanted to see change in Cumberland North. Those in attendance worked together to identify areas needed for growth as well as started working on identifying solutions. More time is needed before breaking into working groups so we made a decision to meet again to continue our work. Date will be shared in upcoming correspondence. If you are interested in joining the discussion please call the office and let us know 902-661-2288 or email me at Elizabeth.Smith-McCrossin@novascotia.ca

Thursday I attended a 40th Anniversary celebration at the Cumberland County Museum with a visit from the Lieutenant Governor Arthur LeBlanc and his wife Patsy LeBlanc. While there I purchased a book recently written by local author Mr. Stephen Leahey. His book entitled “Chignecto & Remsheg prior to 1755” is a look into our unique history in our area. The book is available at the Museum.

I had meetings with constituents and then attended a funeral at the Legion for Veteran Glen Brown. He was brother to local Veteran Lorne Baird.
Afterwards I met with Mayor Scott and Mayor Kogan, MLA Tory Rushton along with Chairs of the Hospital Health Boards of Amherst and Springhill to discuss the urgent need for nurses to stop the NS Health plan to decrease hours in the ER at the Springhill hospital.

Cumberland Forestry Advisory Meeting was held Thursday evening. Forestry is an important part of our heritage, our economy and our future here in Cumberland and throughout the Region. The CFAC has an active monthly newsletter and if you are interested in taking a look, please visit
https://us2.campaign-archive.com/?u=2fac4ba10a40eb5ef01e76969&id=094b2b0dc8&fbclid=IwAR2hciqa0hPTa4zUrCVJwV6_SfQzJxMpQ71JaOZwav0f-9OcSPRdY-X6nOQ

My colleague in Cumberland South Mr. Tory Rushton is Nova Scotia’s new Minister of Lands & Forestry. We are looking forward to a strong future in forestry under Tory Rushton’s leadership.

I drove to Halifax in the evening to be at the Legislature for the am. I also watched an interesting meeting called the Stanfield Conversations: Talking Democracy - “Democracy on the Edge”. I am concerned about the state of our democracy and I enjoyed listening to the conversation hosted by Dalhousie University.

Friday The Nova Scotia Legislature sat Friday morning to give us an opportunity to elect a Speaker. We elected Keith Bain as Speaker and Angela Simmonds and Lisa Lachance as deputy Speakers. Photos from Friday’s special sitting of the legislative assembly are available at: https://news.novascotia.ca/photos/2021/09/24/special-sitting-choose-speaker-and-deputy-speakers

The first session of the 64th General Assembly will resume at 1 p.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 12 when the Lieutenant-Governor of Nova Scotia delivers the speech from the throne.

I will be preparing for the 64th General Assembly daily between now and the 12th of October.

Friday I also attended the funeral for the Allen/Robertson and Sears families that recently lost their family of 6 in a tragic fire. The funeral service was held outdoors in Victoria Park in Amherst. It was an emotional service and very well organized by the staff at Campbell’s Funeral Home. So many people suffered loss in our community and the families of RJ, Michelle, and their four innocent children will be missed. Our community will continue to support them.

Sunday I attended the National Annual General Meeting for Equal Voice and will stay on the Board as the Nova Scotia Director. I look forward to supporting more women and work towards gender parity in our political leadership.

This week in Politics

Today is Medic Monday. We honour and thank our paramedics for their service to our communities.

I have a busy week with meetings and will be focusing on preparing for the Legislature as well.

Saturday there is a lot of action in Pugwash with the Farmer’s Market and Farmer’s Olympics Fun & Games from 9-1pm. There is also a band playing in addition to the regular amazing vendors selling their local products.
https://pugwashfarmersmarket.com/

Maritime focus

Tuesday is the Atlantic Premiers Council Meeting. It was scheduled for Monday and Tuesday, in person meetings but got changed to a one day virtual meeting. I am looking forward to hearing some positive outcomes from this meeting. I have been asking for a coordinated Maritime approach to the pandemic for a year now. We are all fighting the same virus. Our Medical officers of health could be working together for a Regional approach. We are too small to be working in isolation. Of course, our border towns in Cumberland and Westmoreland understand better than anyone the stress when our provinces do not work together.

Politically speaking, Saturday was a significant day in International politics. The “two Michael’s” came home after being detained in China for over 1000 days. They were held hostage but released after a British Colombia court dropped the Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou extradition case. Meng reached a deferred prosecution agreement with the US.

Final thoughts

We all know life is short. Time flies by us faster than most of us want.
Be sure that you are living your best life
While we live during this global pandemic
We are in control of some things
Like what we eat, drink,
What we say and how we choose to respond to others.

As a nurse and as a Mom,
I love prevention.
Prevention of problems, illness, disease
Is always the best medicine.

Fall is here, flu season approaching
Make sure your diet is healthy, lots of foods with vitamins and minerals
Lots of water and healthy fresh air and sunshine

Let’s keep educating ourselves,

Let’s keep the conversation going
United we stand
Divided we fall
And falling isn’t an option
So let’s stand together, despite our differences.

Lets embrace our humanity
Our strengths and our weaknesses
Our knowledge and our lack of knowledge
Our hurts and our pains

Lets embrace one another
Forgive, Love, extend Grace
And move forward as one people
Broken, hurt,
But never willing to stop giving and living
With all our heart, soul and mind.

Have great week,
Take care of yourself and one another

A challenger emerges to Nova Scotia Power's renewable retail electricity monopoly

A challenger emerges to Nova Scotia Power's renewable retail electricity monopoly

Roswall Development Inc. has been issued a licence by the UARB, but many hurdles remain

Nova Scotia Power has its first rival in the business of selling renewable electricity directly to consumers — at least on paper.

On Tuesday, the Nova Scotia Utility and Review Board awarded the first retail supplier licence to a numbered company subsidiary of Roswall Development Inc.

Roswall president Dan Roscoe said it means Nova Scotians will now have a choice from whom they purchase electricity.

"Today, history was made in Nova Scotia," he said.

The licence is an essential step in the company's plans to develop a 33-megawatt wind farm on Crown land that was part of the Bowater Mersey holdings near Milton in Queens County.

The company forecasts sales to 15 industrial and about 800 residential customers starting in late 2023.

"It's an important tool for accelerating our transition to a green economy. This will enable both individuals and businesses to achieve their various carbon goals," said Roscoe, a veteran wind power developer and the renewable energy lead at Cape Breton University's Verschuren Centre for Sustainability in Energy and the Environment.

'Competitive rates' promised

Both Roscoe and the board are clear the licence is just a first step.

The wind farm still has major hurdles to clear, including passing an environmental assessment, working out interconnection arrangements with Nova Scotia Power, and getting customers to actually sign up.

Rates are also a work in progress.

They will incorporate tariffs the company must pay Nova Scotia Power to use its transmission lines.

"We will be able to provide competitive rates that are stable over time," said Roscoe.

A sober assessment from the regulator

In approving the licence, NSUARB member Stephen McGrath wrote that while the company presented "a reasonable business model," this was contingent on many assumptions.

"It recognized it would need to make significant investment in understanding this market, the technical and financial applications, and the optimization of various assets and resources on an ongoing basis," he wrote.

"The company acknowledged that it would have to grow its team and seek strategic partnerships to make its proposed model successful."

Roswall has filed an application to lease Crown land for the wind farm and a development permit with the Region of Queens Municipality.

Why cabinet must approve the venture

Roswall Development is the first company to take advantage of the "renewable to retail" program created seven years ago by a Liberal government under Stephen McNeil.

One of the company principals and chair of the Roswall board is Michel Samson, a former energy minister in the McNeil government.

Although the Liberals created the framework through the Electricity Act, regulations and other steps, the government did not say when sales could begin.

As a result, the licence issued by the board will include a condition that no sales can occur before the provincial cabinet sets a date.

The licence is held by 4363174 Nova Scotia Limited, which was registered on Oct. 4, 2021.

As part of its application, the company had to submit a cheque for $7,500 and a letter of credit for $200,000.

Principals also underwent credit and criminal background checks, which were satisfactory.

Who's involved with the company?

Roswall told regulators that its executive and management have been at "the forefront of renewable energy development in Nova Scotia over the past 15 years."

In addition to Samson, other directors on the numbered company board include:

Barbara Pike, a member of the Canada-Nova Scotia Offshore Petroleum Board and former CEO of the Maritimes Energy Association.
David Howell, president of Valley Homes and chief financial officer of Brison Developments Ltd.

Roswall's board members include:

Edgar Samson of Premium Seafoods.
Veteran utilities executive Ray Robinson, formerly of Emera.
Energy efficiency expert Dale Robertson.

Roscoe sits on the boards of both companies.

I did try hard to talk to you last fall. Ask David Rodenhiser. That
said I think you Emera dudes are crazy not to at least try to settle
with me before I decided to raise the stakes in your wicked game.
Please don't think me dumb I saw you checking me out whilst we talked
and I could tell that you believed every word I said.

FYI the reason I was so pissed off was a few days earlier a host of
very corrupt cops in seven cars pounced my son and I at 2:30 in the
morning right after the David Alward and the PCs won their big
mandate. As you can see I have reloaded some of my old videos that
were maliciously deleted just as the writ was dropped. Surf through
and you will see your face Mr Spurr You seemed like an ok guy on the
phone but so did the former Attorney General Mikey Murphy before he
and his pals sent all the corrupt cops to attack me. If nothing you
should deny that we talked on the 6th and that quite some time before
I opted to upload a video about you Ermera dudes again and reintroduce
myself to big talking activists in BC.

Noam Chomsky: Unvaccinated should 'remove themselves from the community,' access to food 'their problem'

by Asher Notheis, Breaking News Reporter |

October 26, 2021 01:19 PM

Philosopher Noam Chomsky argued that those who remain unvaccinated should be segregated, saying that obtaining food after they had "the decency to remove themselves from the community" was "their problem.

After the left-wing linguist was asked what separation of the unvaccinated would look like on a practical level, Chomsky said the unvaccinated should remove themselves from the community for the safety of others and make arrangements to get food without coming into contact with others.

Chomsky, 92, compared people who do not want to get vaccinated to those who do not want to stop at red lights in traffic, saying that if people treasure their liberty so much, they should "find a way to protect it and secure it for [themselves]."

The linguist's remarks were met with mixed reactions on Twitter, with some supporting his calls for the unvaccinated to be isolated.

Others accused him of being a socialist and slammed him as an "overrated babbling authoritarian mess."

Chomsky's remarks on segregating the unvaccinated come after a growing number of businesses are requiring their workers to get vaccinated. About 1,900 state workers in Washington reportedly either resigned or were fired by Oct. 19, and Northwell Health in New York fired 1,400 employees on Oct. 4 for refusing the COVID-19 vaccine.

While the left-wing philosopher has made headlines in the past for controversial remarks, such as calling for reparations for black people, he also signed an anti-cancel culture letter in July 2020 warning of an "intolerant climate" on "all sides."

Meeting with Noam Chomsky,
Vancouver, B.C., March 20, 2004 *

Noam Chomsky took time out of his tightly scheduled Vancouver tour to meet with John Graham and legal team to discuss the case. Chomsky was in town to speak at a mass rally to mark the one year anniversary of the invasion of Iraq by the U.S./U.K. coalition. Noam Chomsky also spoke at a sold-out fundraiser for NDP MP Svend Robinson, where Professor Chomsky mentioned that this is a very important case for Canadians to be concerned about.

RE: Corruption

Hoka Hey,

Please find enclosed a copy of most of the material sent to two Lieutenant Governors and the Governor General. The copy of wiretap tape number 139 is served upon you in confidence as officers of the court and a Minister in our government in order that it may be properly investigated. I have also enclosed a copy of a letter I composed months ago but never sent and some other information you may find interesting about the political scene in South Dakota.

Leonard has been a political prisoner for far too long with Canadian assistance let us not allow history to repeat itself with John Graham.

May I suggest that you all give my friend Barry Bachrach a call, drop my name and then look to the best interests of the people that you are employed to speak for. There is a strong possibility that my actions may embarrass you in the near future if you choose to ignore this letter. You are looking at just the tip of a very malevolent iceberg that we all know exists. No government is beyond reproach once the electorate has been properly informed. Conrad Black just proved to us all how bad things really are if anyone was paying attention.

The old bugger don't mind running off to Canada to rub elbows with other Canadians he finds newsworthy but won't even pick up the phone to call me. He sure can talk a good talk though. I even had a long talk with Graham's buddies. I guess it is time to write his lawyers a letter do you wish for me to mention you?

I wonder if Longo is a pretty as she is. She looks good in her picture anyway I am certain that she is a damn sight smarter than Angie.

to wait for her to retire she is more valuable to me as an honest lawyer within the FBI before the Yankee federal election, not afterwards.

Review of NB Liquor's conduct in Hanwell agency store dispute sought

Chris Scholten, owner of Scholten’s Convenience Store, calls for independent review of selection process

CBC News · Posted: Jun 26, 2014 3:47 PM AT |

The owner of a convenience store in Hanwell is calling for an independent review of how NB Liquor handled the awarding of an agency store franchise in the community, located near Fredericton.

Chris Scholten, of Scholten’s Convenience Store, says there are still too many unanswered questions about NB Liquor's original decision to award the contract to Moncton-based Power Plus Technology Inc.

A Court of Queen's Bench judge recently quashed the decision after Scholten, whose bid for the agency store had been rejected, sought a judicial review.

Justice Paulette Garnett ruled in May NB Liquor's review procedure for those contesting a decision is "inadequate and unfair."

Earlier this month, NB Liquor CEO Brian Harriman told CBC News a new request for proposals is in the works and he hopes a new contract for a Hanwell agency store will be awarded by late this summer.

But Scholten wants a full review of what happened before NB Liquor proceeds. He has sent a letter to Harriman, urging him to order an independent review.

“Even after 16 months of litigation, we still don’t have all the information as to how this went as wrong as it did. The people of this community still have more questions than answers about this," he said in a statement on Thursday.

“In the interest of fairness, I think it is best at this point to wait to find out what an independent review reveals,” Scholten said. “I think the whole process has called the credibility of NB Liquor into question, certainly in this community. That has to be repaired I think before we can proceed here.”

Scholten is questioning the "conduct" of NB Liquor, its former president Daniel Allain, and Hudson Creative Design of Moncton, the company contracted by the Crown corporation to help choose the winning bidder.

“An independent review of this matter can ensure the same mistakes are not made again,” he said. “We don’t want to end up in the same place again, 18 months from now."

Hartland liquor outlet dispute headed to court

'Manipulation' or 'pure incompetence' alleged in agency store move out of downtown

Robert Jones· CBC News · Posted: Oct 29, 2021 6:00 AM AT

A company that conducted a traffic study in Hartland for N.B. Liquor that was a key element in the awarding of an agency store in the community warned a mid-winter car count in the summer tourist town might skew results, court documents show.

"Traffic volumes observed in January are typically less than during other months of the year, especially compared to the summer months," wrote Brendan McPhee of CBCL Ltd., the engineering consulting company that conducted the Hartland traffic count.

"This would be especially true as Hartland is home to the World's Longest Covered Bridge, which is a well-known tourist attraction."

A dispute over the awarding of the N.B. Liquor agency outlet in Hartland is headed to court next month, with duelling traffic counts likely to be the central issue.

In April, N.B. Liquor moved its lucrative agency franchise from a traditional spot near Hartland's famed covered bridge to the local Hartland Irving station and Valu Foods outlet, about one kilometre upriver.

The move triggered opposition in the town and accusations by Peter Cook, the owner of the Freshmart grocery store that lost the outlet, of political manoeuvres and corporate cronyism.

Cook, a prominent Liberal in Carleton County, had the franchise but lost a competition to keep it after N.B. Liquor put the contract up for open bidding.

Peter Cook (holding scissors) is seen at a ribbon-cutting ceremony in 2016. Cook is suing N.B. Liquor for the way it handled his bid to retain the liquor outlet at his grocery store in downtown Hartland. (Facebook)

Cook disputes bid count

A 100-point score card N.B. Liquor used to grade two bids it received appeared to show Cook was beaten easily, 96.1 to 88.25.

Cook disputes that count and believes N.B. Liquor's politically appointed board of directors, headed by prominent Progressive Conservative and one-time Irving Oil employee John Correia, played a role in the outcome.

"It was either manipulated on purpose, which I believe, or if nothing else, it's pure incompetence," Cook said this week.

"I was cheated."

N.B. Liquor has declined to comment publicly on the dispute, but in an affidavit filed with the Court of Queen's Bench vice-president Alan Sullivan said Correia had no involvement in the evaluation process and his past associations are irrelevant to Cook's losing the bid.

"Mr. Correia's previous or current roles with ANBL or other companies had no effect on the fact the Applicant scored lower in the RFP process than Valu Foods," Sullivan's affidavit said.

John Correia was appointed chair of NB Liquor by the Higgs government and was an early backer of Higgs leadership bid. NB Liquor denies he exerted any influence on the decision to move the Hartland outlet. (Coast Tire)

Traffic count most contentious issue

A number of issues are disputed by Cook in N.B. Liquor's scoring of the two bids, but a traffic count that was worth 30 points in the competition – more than any other element – has emerged as the most contentious.

N.B. Liquor's traffic study was conducted over 48 hours on a Tuesday and Wednesday during the second week of January this year, and showed vehicles passing the Irving station to be within 95 per cent of the number going past Cook's store.

Cook disputes that count because his store can be reached by multiple streets running in front of and behind his building, and because traffic was measured on only one street.

Although N.B. Liquor's request for proposals says scoring of the traffic count will be "based on vehicle traffic going past the proponents place of business," correspondence filed in court shows the consultant believed the job was to measure only traffic travelling on Main Street.

NB Liquor defends using want ads, not professional recruiters, to find new president

"We understand the main objective is to obtain a comparison between the daily Main Street traffic volumes," wrote Mark MacDonald, CBCL's senior transportation engineer.

Cook said beyond that issue, summer traffic in downtown Hartland is much higher than in winter and the selection of two mid-week days in January to do a study guaranteed a flawed result.

To make that point, Cook hired Roy Consultants of Moncton, a frequent engineering contractor to the New Brunswick department of transportation and infrastructure, to conduct a second traffic study over five days in mid-August.

Hartland's Irving station and Valufoods outlet at the edge of town was declared the winner of N.B. Liquor's agency store contract on March 17. It took over on April 1. (Google Streetview)

Second study conducted in mid-August

That study, authored by civil engineer Jérémie Aubé, counted 29 per cent more vehicles passing in front of Cook's location on Main Street than the Irving location, using counters in similar locations to N.B. Liquor's count.

But the difference jumped to 111 per cent more passing near Cook's store by adding in a count of cars using a second route.

In his report, Aubé conceded that counting traffic is not a perfect science.

"The data area is not perfectly sealed, and vehicles may enter and exit the system freely without being captured by traffic counting devices," he wrote.

Cook has softened one claim made in an early affidavit: the street in front his store was blocked for a time by roadwork while N.B. Liquor's traffic count was underway.

He concedes now that he had the dates of the traffic count wrong.

On its scorecard, N.B. Liquor graded the traffic count 30 to 28.6 in Cook's favour because of the slight difference in its numbers.

Cook feels his study shows the traffic score should have been at worst 30 to 15 in his favour, more than enough to merit his overall bid winning, his bid scored 9 points lower on the rest of the elements.

"I feel we have a chance, and a good chance, that a judge could overrule it," he said.

Both sides are scheduled to be in court in Fredericton on Nov. 9.

Political interference alleged after Hartland liquor outlet moved to Irving station

NB Liquor board approves moving outlet to edge of Hartland, despite objections from town and employers

Robert Jones· CBC News · Posted: Apr 13, 2021 6:00 AM AT

Hartland's Irving station and Valufoods outlet at the edge of town was declared the winner of NB Liquor's agency store contract on March 17. It took over on April 1. (Google Street view)

An unusual decision by NB Liquor to move its outlet in Hartland from a spot near the famed covered bridge to an Irving station at the edge of town is generating controversy in the community and raising questions about whether politics, corporate influence or both played roles in the move.

Transferring the outlet triggered objections by the town itself and two of its largest employers.

But even with evidence of a botched traffic count contaminating the decision, efforts to have Premier Blaine Higgs intervene and cancel the move fell flat.

"The Town of Hartland feels the decision is detrimental to our ongoing efforts to improve and increase our town economy on all fronts," wrote Hartland's chief administrative officer David Hutten in a March letter to Higgs asking him to stop the relocation of the liquor outlet away from the bridge.

"It is imperative that we continue to grow our municipal downtown core and not strip it bare of essential and leisure provisions," argued Hutten.

It's the first time a successful operator of an NB Liquor agency store has had their contract moved to a competitor since the program began in 1991 but last minute appeals to the province to halt the switch failed and the change went ahead April 1.

Liquor store long been downtown

Hartland has had a liquor outlet in its downtown core since 1986.

It was first installed during the government of former Progressive Conservative Premier Richard Hatfield, Hartland's MLA at the time, as part of the community's reconstruction following a major fire that destroyed several downtown buildings in 1980.

The outlet has occupied different locations over 35 years but always within steps of the Hartland Covered Bridge, a recognized national historic site as the longest bridge of its kind in the world.

The structure is a tourist magnet in the town and celebrates its 100th anniversary this year.

Freshmart sits across from the entrance to the Hartland Covered Bridge. (Google Street view)

Until this month NB Liquor's outlet had been located across the street from the entrance to the bridge inside a local grocery store called the Hartland Freshmart.

Last year Freshmart recorded $1.5 million in alcohol sales, placing in it the top third of outlets in NB Liquor's agency network.

Freshmart assumed control of the Hartland contract in 2019 after its owner, Peter Cook, bought a nearby convenience store that had owned the licence since the mid 1990s.

But Cook is also a prominent Liberal and, coincidentally or not, when Freshmart's liquor contract came up for renewal this year, NB Liquor said it found a better arrangement.

In what the Crown corporation insists was an impartial evaluation of bids it received following a request for proposals, the local Hartland Irving station and Valu Foods outlet, about one kilometre upriver from the covered bridge, was selected as the new location for the lucrative outlet.

"We wish to advise you that your application for the Agency appointment was unsuccessful," NB Liquor's Bonnie Harnish wrote to the Freshmart on March 17.

"Please take assurance in knowing the decision was made following the results of a prescribed and unbiased process."

Retailer questions decision's fairness

Cook, who ran as a Liberal in the 2010 provincial election and is related by marriage to former Liberal MLAs Fred and Andrew Harvey, does not accept he was dealt with fairly.

On March 26, he filed an application with the Court of Queen's Bench in Fredericton to review the decision, alleging that irregularities in how bids were scored unfairly steered the contract to the local Irving station.

"Favouring business because they are associated with Irving is improper," Cook said in a sworn affidavit filed with his court application.

Cook is suspicious because the final decision on moving the Hartland location was made by NB Liquor's board of directors, which is chaired by John Correia.

Correia is a former head fundraiser for the New Brunswick Progressive Conservative Party and, like Higgs, a former employee of Irving Oil.

John Correia was appointed chair of NB Liquor by the Blaine Higgs government. He was an early backer of Higgs's leadership bid and is a former head of the PC Party's fundraising team. Correia spent much of his working career with Irving Oil and Irving-owned Maritime Tire and is now vice-president of Coast Tire. (Coast Tire)

In his affidavit, Cook claims the scoring of proposed outlet locations was "politically motivated" and ultimately unfair to his bid because of his own party activity and a favouritism NB Liquor has for outlets branded as Irving stations.

"There appears to be an ongoing trend such that [NB Liquor] is awarding more and more agency store contracts to retailers who are working with Irving and who purchase and sell Irving gasoline," Cook said in his affidavit in an apparent reference to the Irving station in Plaster Rock winning an outlet last year.

NB Liquor denies that accusation.

In an email, spokesperson Thomas Tremblay said the Hartland contract was awarded in a standard way following an "unbiased" 100-point evaluation NB Liquor conducts every time it decides where to place an outlet among competing bidders.

The scoring system gives points based on a variety of easily measured factors, including shelf and floor space and cooler size available for selling alcohol (20 points) hours of operation (10 points), and available parking (four points).

Credit is also given if the location sells lottery tickets (one point), coffee (one point) or fast food (one point).

The scorecard does favour bids connected to oil companies, but not specifically Irving. It awards two points if gasoline is sold onsite, which can be significant in a close contest.

A flawed traffic count?

However, the single most important element, worth 30 points, is a traffic count conducted at each location, which appeared to be mishandled by NB Liquor in a way that undermined Freshmart's bid.

Cook claims that intentionally or by accident the count was done over five days in February exactly as the town dug up the road in front of his store to upgrade local sewer lines, guaranteeing a poor result for his store.

"The traffic counter was placed on a road that was closed for construction to all vehicles save for transport trucks for two days out of four and a half or five days [NB Liquor] ran the traffic count study," Cook said in his affadavit.

"Vehicles were redirected in such a way that they did not pass through the traffic counter."

Hutten, the town administrator, confirmed that account.

"The municipality wasn't informed this counting would be happening, so without being aware of that we had that road closed down for two days of the actual car-counting process," said Hutten.

"It was closed for a day and overnight and most of the second day."

Town of Hartland administrator David Hutten wrote a letter to Premier Blaine Higgs on behalf of the community, calling the decision to move the local liquor outlet away from the downtown 'detrimental' and asking for it to be reversed. (LinkedIn)

Cook said he called NB Liquor to alert them to the problem but was told he could not make contact during the evaluation process.

He said NB Liquor did not include alternative downtown routes to his store, on Orser, Brighton and Queen streets, in its traffic count.

"If we lost fair and square then that's what it would be," Cook said in an interview. "But it's too obvious [we didn't]. It's ridiculous."

NB Liquor mum on traffic count results

Tom Tremblay said NB Liquor chair Correia was not available to be interviewed about what happened in Hartland, but according to the corporation's scoring system, every vehicle missed in its traffic survey matters.

A bidder with 25 per cent more cars recorded in the survey than a competitor receives six more points in the evaluation. A traffic count that is twice as high as a competitor is worth a 15-point advantage.

NB Liquor will not disclose what its traffic count in Hartland was or how many points each bidder received, only that on the final scorecard, the Irving location came out ahead.

"Your submission met the mandatory requirements," Bonnie Harnish wrote in her letter to the Freshmart. "However, the total score did not yield the highest score."

Tremblay acknowledged what happened in Hartland is unusual.

Since agency outlets were first introduced by NB Liquor in 1991, dozens of existing operators in good standing have won hundreds of renewals. Not a single one has lost its contract in a request-for-proposals procedure other than the Hartland Freshmart.

"Any examples of a change as you describe have typically been related to a business closure or other specific cause," wrote Tremblay.

"We don't have an example of a change of award based solely on scoring in our current records."

Others worry about impact on downtown

Cook is fighting NB Liquor's decision but he's not the only one in Hartland upset by what happened.

Kevin Chase with Day & Ross and Ben Craig of Craig Manufacturing, two of Hartland's largest employers, both wrote to the province to object to the decision, as did David Hutten on behalf of the town.

"I am sure it seems like a small thing just moving the store a few clicks down the road, but I really believe this decision will have big repercussions on all of us in Hartland," Craig wrote in his letter to local PC MLA Bill Hogan.

"We truly believe that towns without a downtown are less attractive places to live. We currently have dozens of open jobs we can't fill, as attracting talent to work in and live in Hartland is already a real challenge."

In reply, Hogan sounded sympathetic but said there was nothing he could do.

"I have fully investigated this decision and have had several discussions with the Chair of NB Liquor, unfortunately the process that they have in place was followed and a decision was rendered. I have exhausted all the avenues available to me."

Chase, who is chief financial officer at Day & Ross, made his appeal directly to Higgs without success.

"Attracting talent to our area is sometimes difficult, and one of the things we have found is is that employees want to work where it is convenient for them to have access to goods and services," wrote Chase.

"We ask that you review and reverse this decision and leave the agency liquor outlet within the Hartland downtown core."

Rep. Alcee Hastings dies, narrowing Democratic House majority to just 7

Rep. Alcee Hastings, D-Fla., died Tuesday at age 84 after a
two-year bout with pancreatic cancer.
Democrats now hold a narrower margin in the House, with a 218-211
split, while six vacant seats remain.

Rep. Alcee Hastings, D-Fla., died Tuesday after a more than two-year
bout with pancreatic cancer, NBC News confirmed.

Hastings, who served in the House for nearly three decades, was 84.
Throughout his career, he held several key committee assignments and
leadership positions, most recently as vice chairman of the rules
committee. He had also been Florida’s first Black federal trial judge,
appointed to the bench in 1979 by President Jimmy Carter.

“As an attorney, civil rights activist and judge, and over his nearly
thirty years in Congress, he fought tirelessly to create opportunities
to lift up working families, communities of color, children and
immigrants,” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi wrote in a statement.

President Joe Biden reacted to Hastings’ death on Tuesday afternoon.
“Across his long career of public service, Alcee always stood up to
fight for equality, and always showed up for the working people he
represented,” he said in a statement. “Jill and I are saddened to
learn of his passing.”

Democrats now hold a narrower advantage in the House, 218-211, giving
the party a smaller margin of error in passing legislation. Six seats
are vacant, four of which were previously held by Democrats and two by
Republicans.

Three of the four Democratic House seats were vacated by appointments
to positions in President Joe Biden’s Cabinet. Deb Haaland, of New
Mexico, was appointed secretary of the Department of Interior; Marcia
Fudge, of Ohio, was named head of the Department of Housing and Urban
Development, and Cedric Richmond, of Louisiana, became senior advisor
to the president and director of the White House Office of Public
Engagement.

One of the two vacant GOP seats is no longer up for contest. Julia
Letlow of Louisiana was elected in late March but has yet to be sworn
in. Julia will replace her late husband, Luke Letlow, who was elected
to the seat but died before being sworn in due to Covid-19
complications.

In 1983, when Hastings was a federal judge, he was acquitted in
criminal court on a charge of conspiring to solicit a bribe in
exchange for leniency in a sentencing.

Nevertheless, the House impeached Hastings in 1988 amid accusations
that he perjured himself during that criminal trial. The Senate voted
to convict him, removing him from the bench, but did not vote to
disqualify him from holding future office.

Hastings appealed the impeachment conviction in 1992. A federal judge
overturned the conviction, on the grounds that a 12-member Senate
committee, rather than the full Senate, conducted the impeachment
trial. This was the first time a Senate conviction was overturned by a
federal judge.

The next year, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled federal courts do not have
the authority to review the procedures of a Senate impeachment trial.
Hastings’ legislative career, which began with his election in 1992
and continued until his death, was unaffected by the decision.

> Raising a Little Hell- Lively Debate Provokes Crowd
>
> By Erin Hatfield

>
> The 1979 Trooper song Raise a Little Hell blared on the speakers at
> the 8th Hussars Sports Center Friday evening as people filed in to
> watch the Fundy candidates debate the issues. It was an accurate, if
> unofficial, theme song for the debate.
>
> The crowd of over 200 spectators was dwarfed by the huge arena, but as
> they chose their seats, it was clear the battle lines were drawn.
> Supporters of Conservative candidate Rob Moore naturally took the blue
> chairs on the right of the rink floor while John Herron's Liberalswent
> left. There were splashes of orange, supporters of NDP Pat Hanratty,
> mixed throughout. Perhaps the loudest applause came from a row towards
> the back, where supporters of independent candidate David Amos sat.
>
> The debate was moderated by Leo Melanson of CJCW Radio and was
> organized by the Sussex Valley Jaycees. Candidates wereasked a barrage
> of questions bypanelists Gisele McKnight of the Kings County Record
> and Lisa Spencer of CJCW.
>
> Staying true to party platforms for the most part, candidates
> responded to questions about the gun registry, same sex marriage, the
> exodus of young people from the Maritimes and regulated gas prices.
> Herron and Moore were clear competitors,constantly challenging each
> other on their answers and criticizing eachothers’ party leaders.
> Hanratty flew under the radar, giving short, concise responses to the
> questions while Amos provided some food for thought and a bit of comic
> relief with quirky answers. "I was raised with a gun," Amos said in
> response to the question of thenational gun registry. "Nobody's
> getting mine and I'm not paying 10 cents for it."
>
> Herron, a Progressive Conservative MP turned Liberal, veered from his
> party'splatform with regard to gun control. "It was ill advised but
> well intentioned," Herron said. "No matter what side of the house I am
> on, I'm voting against it." Pat Hanratty agreed there were better
> places for the gun registry dollars to be spent.Recreational hunters
> shouldn't have been penalized by this gun registry," he said.
>
> The gun registry issues provoked the tempers of Herron and Moore. At
> one point Herron got out of his seat and threw a piece of paper in
> front of Moore. "Read that," Herron said to Moore, referring to the
> voting record of Conservative Party leader Steven Harper. According to
> Herron, Harper voted in favour of the registry on the first and second
> readings of the bill in 1995. "He voted against it when it counted, at
> final count," Moore said. "We needa government with courage to
> register sex offenders rather than register the property of law
> abiding citizens."
>
> The crowd was vocal throughout the evening, with white haired men and
> women heckling from the Conservative side. "Shut up John," one woman
> yelled. "How can you talk about selling out?" a man yelled whenHerron
> spoke about his fear that the Conservatives are selling farmers out.
>
> Although the Liberal side was less vocal, Kings East MLA Leroy
> Armstrong weighed in at one point. "You’re out of touch," Armstrong
> yelled to Moore from the crowd when the debate turned to the cost of
> post-secondary education. Later in the evening Amos challenged
> Armstrong to a public debate of their own. "Talk is cheap. Any time,
> anyplace," Armstrong responded.
>
> As the crowd made its way out of the building following the debate,

>
> And he has no campaign budget, nor does he want one.
>
> "I won’t take any donations," he said. "Just try to give me some. It’s

> BOSTON - Federal prosecutors have accused an attorney for former state

>

> would erode defendants’ Sixth Amendment right to their chosen counsel
> and interfere with attorneys’ ability to represent their clients while
> criminal charges are pending.
>
> “Granting the present motion would threaten ethical and effective
> advocacy by counsel in numerous other cases,” the brief reads. “It
> would encourage the government to seek to disqualify counsel more
> frequently in any of the array of circumstances in which defense
> counsel may advocate on a client’s behalf and might present what the
> government may later claim to be inaccurate information.”
>
> The battle over the future of Joyce’s legal representation comes as
> the former Milton Democrat faces a 113-count indictment accusing him
> of turning his Beacon Hill office into a money-making venture where he
> traded legislation and political influence for more than $1 million in
> kickbacks, hundreds of pounds of free coffee and a 2014 Jeep. He was
> arrested on the charges this past December and released on $250,000
> bond.
>
> A little more than a month after Joyce’s arrest, federal prosecutors
> indicated that they would seek to disqualify Cooper from representing
> Joyce at trial and could call him to testify about several statements
> he made to the ethics commission on Joyce’s behalf. Some of those
> statements had addressed the commission’s questions about whether the
> senator had received free Dunkin’ Donuts coffee in exchange for
> pushing favorable legislation, whether he’d filed legislation without
> disclosing that it would benefit a client, and whether he’d appeared
> before a state commission while concealing his financial investment in
> the company.
>
> Prosecutors have not suggested that Cooper was aware that the
> statements were false, but said that Joyce had nonetheless “entangled
> Attorney Cooper in the cover-up.” In a motion filed in late February,
> prosecutors argued that Joyce had used Cooper’s statements to further
> his crimes, making communications between the two exempt from
> attorney-client privilege.
>
> In response, Joyce accused prosecutors of trying to disqualify his
> attorney by making him into a witness even through they hadn’t shown
> any need for Cooper’s testimony. Joyce said he would even stipulate
> that he himself had prepared and reviewed the statements that
> prosecutors say were false.
>
> Joyce, who is a lawyer, also argued Cooper had only submitted the
> statements to defend Joyce against allegations of wrongdoing and had
> not been involved in setting up the corrupt deals Joyce is accused of
> making. Joyce hired Cooper and his firm, Todd & Weld, in March 2015
> after Boston Globe reporters began asking Joyce’s office questions.
>
> Joyce said disqualifying Cooper would violated his Sixth Amendment
> right to choose his legal counsel and force him to find a new attorney
> following the loss of his job, the end of his practice and “the
> exhaustion of his resources.”
>
> “Now the government takes aim at the one attorney who has represented
> him throughout, in whom he reposes the greatest trust and confidence,
> and ask the Court to require him to start over with new counsel he
> does not want and cannot afford,” attorneys for Joyce and Cooper said
> in a motion filed on their behalf. “This would be a cruel, unfair and
> clearly unconstitutional blow.”
>
> The Boston legal community apparently agrees. In a motion filed
> Monday, a group including the Massachusetts Bar Association, the
> Massachusetts Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, the American
> Civil Liberties Union of Massachusetts and 71 individual attorneys
> argued that the prosecutors’ request had “far-reaching and troubling
> Sixth Amendment implications,” potentially opening the door for
> prosecutors to have defense attorneys removed from a case by claiming
> that they had previously presented inaccurate information on their
> client’s behalf. The Boston Bar Association is seeking to file a
> separate amicus brief.
>
> “We believe the government’s motion threatens the constitutionally
> protected right of a lawyer to present a client’s defense to courts
> and to government agencies,” Jon Albano, president-elect of the Boston
> Bar Association, said in a statement. “A lawyer should not be

>>
>> 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.

>>
>> New Brunswick's integrity commissioner says the conflict-of-interest
>> law for politicians should be toughened to clarify cases such as
>> cabinet minister Victor Boudreau's former investment in a proposed
>> campground near Parlee Beach.
>>
>> Alexandre Deschênes said earlier this year that Boudreau's stake in
>> the project did not put him in a conflict of interest but that the
>> appearance of a conflict was "inevitable."
>>
>> Unlike other conflict-of-interest laws, "our act does not apply to an
>> apparent conflict of interest," he said in an interview with CBC News.
>> "It's not in there."
>>
>> Previous commissioners suggested law
>>
>> Boudreau recused himself from Parlee Beach issues anyway, even though
>> he didn't technically have to. The law said ministers aren't in a
>> conflict if decisions that affect their private interests also apply
>> to the general public.
>>
>> Boudreau recuses himself from Parlee Beach controversy

>>
>> "Mr. Boudreau could have gone on and said, 'I'm the minister of health
>> and I'm going to make decisions that apply to the general public and
>> the act allows it,'" Deschênes said.
>>
>> "If you'd had the words 'apparent conflict of interest' [in the law]
>> it would have been clear."
>>
>> Deschênes pointed out two of his predecessors as conflict-of-interest
>> commissioner, Pat Ryan and Stuart Stratton, recommended expanding the
>> act to include the appearance of conflicts.
>>
>> "It started out way back," he said. "We're looking at almost a decade
>> here where the suggestion has been made that apparent conflict of
>> interest ought to be included in the act. It's not been done.
>>
>> "But as a commissioner, I will be following what they've been doing
>> and I will be recommending it when I file a report."
>>
>> Updated conflict act
>>
>> The Gallant Liberals passed amendments to update the Members Conflict
>> of Interest Act during the spring session of the legislature, but they
>> did not include a ban on perceived conflicts.
>>
>> Progressive Conservative MLA Brian MacDonald has also called for the
>> Liberals to fix what he calls "a gap in the law."

>> As health minister, Boudreau oversees the public health offices, and

>>
>> That would have affected the proposed campground.
>>
>> 'I told him, and he made it public, that the appearance of

>> around it. It was there.'
>>
>> - Alexandre Deschênes
>>
>> The law bans ministers from making decisions that affect their
>> "private interest," but it makes an exception if the decision applies
>> to the broader public, even if the minister would still benefit.
>>
>> Deschênes said in his letter to Boudreau in March that "one could
>> argue" a decision on a moratorium would affect the broader public.
>>
>> "Under the act, he might have been entitled to continue to have
>> discussions that applied to the general population, even though he was
>> part of [the project] at that point," Deschênes said in an interview
>> last week.
>>
>> "I told him, and he made it public, that the appearance of conflict in

>> An MP's perceived conflict matters
>>
>> The federal conflict of interest code for MPs also includes an

>> Boudreau put his investment in a blind trust in 2014, which meant he
>> had no role in the running of the business. But the value of his stake
>> would have been affected by a moratorium on future development.
>>
>> Parlee beach
>>
>> In May, Victor Boudreau announced he was giving up his investment in
>> the campground on Parlee Beach altogether.
>>
>> He said in March he learned of the potential moratorium Feb. 28 and
>> met with Deschênes March 2, the first date they could arrange it.
>>
>> "That perception is the issue," Boudreau said at the time. "And if the
>> perception is the issue, and the perception is what's going to be
>> prevent us from getting to the bottom of it, then I'm prepared to
>> recuse myself from all activities relating to this committee."
>>
>> Last month he announced that he was giving up his investment in the
>> campground altogether.
>>
>> Deschênes said he believes most ministers and MLAs would do the same
>> thing if he told them there was an apparent, but not actual, conflict.
>>
>> "In most cases I think they will listen and they will do what has to
>> be done to put an end to an apparent conflict of interest, although
>> technically they could continue to do what they want to do."

>> Judge-moving bill aims to help Dominic LeBlanc, Tory MLA charges
>> Kirk MacDonald says Liberals drafted bill to help put Jolène Richard
>> and André Richard on court
>>
>> By Jacques Poitras, CBC News Posted: Nov 24, 2016 6:03 PM AT
>>
>> A Progressive Conservative MLA has taken the unusual step of naming
>> names — including that of a sitting provincial court judge — in his
>> attack on a proposed law on how Court of Queen's Bench judges are
>> transferred.
>>
>> Kirk MacDonald told the legislature last week that he believes the
>> government bill was drafted to help the spouse and the brother-in-law
>> of federal Liberal MP Dominic LeBlanc, a close ally of Premier Brian
>> Gallant.

>> A Progressive Conservative MLA believes the Liberal government's
>> judge-moving bill was drafted to help have André Richard and Jolène
>> Richard appointed to the Court of Queen's Bench. (CBC)
>>
>> "I will give you two names. I will give you Jolène Richard and André
>> Richard, two people I believe are looking for judicial appointments
>> here in New Brunswick," MacDonald said during second-reading debate on
>> the bill.
>>
>> In fact, Jolène Richard is already a provincial court judge. André
>> Richard is her brother and a senior lawyer at Stewart McKelvey.
>>
>> Province names new judge, wife of MP Dominic LeBlanc
>>
>> "Dominic LeBlanc has some judges that he wants to appoint in New
>> Brunswick, and the framework as it currently exists does not allow for
>> that to happen," MacDonald said.
>>
>> André Richard stated Thursday he "had no involvement in the
>> government's decision to propose changes to the Judicature Act."
>>
>> "As you know, my sister is already a judge who sits in Moncton. I fail
>> to understand why our names are being brought into this debate."
>> Bill gives veto to minister
>>
>> The Liberal bill would amend the Judicature Act, which governs how
>> courts operate, to give the justice minister a veto over Chief Justice
>> David Smith of the Court of Queen's Bench transferring judges from one
>> court to another.
>> nb-chief-justice-david-smith
>>
>> Court of Queen's Bench Chief Justice David Smith has transferred 13
>> judges since becoming chief justice in 1998. (Acadia University)
>>
>> PC MLAs have hinted in the past about who they believe the bill was
>> designed to help. But until now, no one was willing to name them.
>>
>> It's rare for politicians to draw sitting judges into partisan
>> debates, and the veteran Tory MLA did not offer any evidence to back
>> up his allegations. He turned down a request to explain his views in
>> an interview.
>> Parliamentary privilege
>>
>> Parliamentary privilege protects members of the legislature from being
>> sued for defamation or held in contempt of court for comments they
>> make during proceedings. No such protection exists for things they say
>> outside the legislature.
>>
>> Provincial court judges such as Richard are appointed by the province,
>> but Court of Queen's Bench justices are named by Ottawa. Both courts
>> are administered by the province, but the current law gives Smith the
>> power to move judges on his court on his own.
>>
>> Smith has argued the bill would threaten the independence of the
>> courts, which could make it unconstitutional.
>> Bill brought back
>>
>> The Liberals introduced the bill during the last session, but it
>> didn't pass before the session ended. They brought it back last week.
>>
>> Justice Minister Denis Landry said last week the bill was designed to
>> bring "best practices" to court administration and end the pattern of
>> justices being named to smaller courthouses and then being transferred
>> soon after.
>>
>> Judge-moving legislation introduced again
>> 2 chief justices appear at odds over judge-moving bill
>> 7 things list reveals about controversial judge-moving bill
>>
>> "This is what we want to correct," he said. "If we name a judge, they
>> should reside there, for a long period of time, not just two or three
>> months then move them where they want to go."
>>
>> Asked whether he'd veto such a transfer, Landry said, "This is what we'll
>> see."
>>
>> Landry's department said Thursday it would not comment on MacDonald's
>> accusation.
>> Larger locations favoured
>>
>> MacDonald said during last week's debate that it's true Court of
>> Queen's Bench justices are often appointed to smaller locations and
>> are then moved to one of the three largest cities.
>> Dominic LeBlanc
>>
>> Federal Fisheries Minister Dominic LeBlanc is a close ally of New
>> Brunswick Premier Brian Gallant. (CBC)
>>
>> He said that court postings in Moncton, Fredericton, and Saint John
>> are "The positions that everyone seems to want."
>>
>> And he said the current system for moving judges, "which is controlled
>> by the chief justice, does not work for Dominic LeBlanc and the
>> Liberal Party of New Brunswick," MacDonald said.
>>
>> Upside to judge-moving bill touted by ex-constitutional lawyer
>> Gallant government's judge-moving bill questioned by legal expert
>>
>> "They want to change it. They want to have a situation where they have
>> a mechanism to control that decision and to effect change on that
>> decision."
>>
>> In June, Smith transferred Justice Tracey DeWare from Woodstock to
>> Moncton and Justice Richard Petrie from Saint John to Woodstock.
>>
>> DeWare was moved to fill a vacancy after Justice Brigitte Robichaud
>> switched to supernumerary, or part-time, status.
>>
>> Jolène Richard did not respond to interview requests.

>> Canada’s and Canadians free ride is over. Canada can no longer hide
>> 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

>> 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

> 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

> [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

> 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

>
> [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

> [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

>
> [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

> 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,

> 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

> [footnotes omitted].
>
>
> [30] The Judge determined that he could not strike the Claim
> on the same jurisdictional basis as the Prothonotary. The Judge noted

> [32] The Judge determined that Mr. Amos disclosed sufficient

> D.L.R (4th) 301 is particularly apt:
>
> …When pleading bad faith or abuse of power, it is not enough to

> “The bare assertion of a conclusion upon which the court is called

>
> 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

Hereto attached is the letter I discussed with Judge Southcott on
January 11th, 2016 that has all you sneaky Liberals in such hot water
ten years later I bet the Progressive Conservatives still laughing
about the letter I got from the mindless lawyer David Eidt N'esy Pas
Teddy Flemming?

Published on Jul 23, 2016
Ted Flemming, Q.C.. MLA, Rothesay is asked of $40 fee to vote at P.C.
Leadership in October!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-RPSKM4bjOU

A lawyer such as teddy baby Flemming knows as well as I that the
Progressive Conservative Party has been dead since lawyers such as
Petey Baby MacKay and Brian Mosher my brother in law' s law firm
partner back stabbed David Orchard and merger with Harper western
wackos in 2003 before I can home and ran against one of the their
lawyer Rob Moore in the election of the 38th Parliament.

Everybody and his dog knows that as soon as my words were reported by
the Kings County Record, one the Irving Empire's newsrags after I had
crossed paths with the RCMP and Harper on his bus with Rob Moore and
Elsie Wayne in Sussex NB on June 19th, 2004 the lawyer Bernie Lord and
his minions in NB were not long barring me from Parliamentary
Properties in NB and Chucky Leblanc was quick to report in the Fake
Left Indy Media that your Deputy Rremier former Cpl Stevey Boy
Horseman of the Fat Fred City Finest was investigating at that very
same point in time. while you and your lawyer buddy Ellen Creighton
were just starting law school CORRECT Brian Gallant?.

BTW tell your pal Ellen Creighton that just because sneaky Librano
lawyers block me it does not follow that I can't follow their tweets
to their very sneaky CBC buddies before and after Elections that I am
running in. Here is a little proof,

https://twitter.com/creightonellen

Ellen Creighton @CreightonEllen Nov 13
@mchardie Reminds me of big debate on Steve Paikin's blog post last
year on women experts. Improvement w/ effort:
http://www.informedopinions.org/steve-paikin-the-agenda-producers-prove-its-possible/

At least you, Premier Gallant should notice that the lawyers for
Astral Media got the same pile of my documents that the New Brunswick
Securities Commission and the Commissioner of Federal Judical Affairs
got right after your spin doctor Randy McKeen pissed me off when he
denied that my name was on the ballot for the 39th Parliament. You
must remember how McKeen whined a cried when Bell bought out Astral
and he got shitcanned and bitched about the government he now works
for Chucky Baby does CORRECT?

Former KHJ Journalist Randy McKeen talks about local media

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0tJHcjbCVV0

BTW I posted the text of the letter to you Libranos within many blogs
way back in 2006 after Harper won his first mandate and it still can
be seen within some to this very day

In 2008 your blogging butt buddy buddy Chucky Leblanc's Fake Left
buddies in QSLS of Fredericton posted a picture of it as they had fun
teasing me about being barred from the Legislative buildings and the
cops stealing my Harley and all the attacks against my kids and I
iwithin YouTube EH?

The unionized bureaucrat bastards who support the NDP love to
embarrass you similing bastard with my material CORRECT. If you
disagree at least notice that they posted these these blogs not long
before and just after the RCMP falsely arrested me in Fredericton.
REMEMBER?

P.S. Before I clicked send on this email I made certain that I called
Ian Smyth and Pat Pelley to make certain that they knew who I was. I
did so because I had never heard of either them until I researched the
changing of the guard within the Librano Party and within Fundy Royal
in particular. However I am a quick study Smyth did not pick up but
Pat Pelley certainly did. The lady played dumb for awhile but in the
end she confessed that she knew of me but she was too busy babysitting
a granchild to bother talking to mean old me anymore. Perhaps she
should call her pal David Lutz in Fundy royal and statrt lining up
lawyers afer she gets this email N'esy Pas?.

Liberals Announce Transition Team
Posted on Thursday, September 25, 2014 12:33 PM

A three-member transition team has been formed by Premier designate
Brian Gallant to work with the civil service in the lead up to the
swearing in of the new provincial cabinet.

The transition team is being chaired by lawyer Len Hoyt of
Fredericton. He's a partner and chairs the board at McInnes Cooper,
one of the largest law firms in this part of the country.

The other two members are Don Ferguson who retired in 2012 as deputy
minister of health and Ellen Creighton who worked as an investigator
and advisor at the Competition Bureau before returning to New
Brunswick in 2013 to become executive director of the New Brunswick
Liberal Association. Part of her job will be to turn the party
platform into government policies.

Liberal lobbyist hired as senior deputy minister, raising conflict fears

CBC News Posted: Dec 19, 2008 5:32 PM AT

A top Liberal insider and corporate lobbyist is now one of the
province's most powerful bureaucrats.

Doug Tyler, a former deputy premier, has been appointed the deputy
minister of strategic priorities.

Tyler is the vice-president of government relations for Saint
John-based Revolution Strategy, where his government experience is a
selling point on the company website.

Earlier this week, the Opposition Conservatives argued in question
period that Tyler's appointment to this job would create the
perception of conflict of interest, because he'd be able to influence
decisions that could benefit those he once was paid to represent.

Opposition Leader David Alward said at the time that Tyler should be
forced to disclose all of his former clients before taking the job so
people would know his old allegiances.

At the time, Graham said that was a personal attack on Tyler.

Late on Friday, Graham's office issued a news release formally
announcing Tyler's appointment and his Jan. 5 start date.

Tyler was an MLA and cabinet minister in the former premier Frank
McKenna years before losing his seat in the 1999 election.

It's his more recent work that's been controversial. After helping run
Shawn Graham's 2006 election campaign and acting on the three-person
Liberal transition team, Tyler moved to Revolution as a
government-affairs consultant.

In his time as a paid lobbyist Tyler has represented a wind energy
consortium trying to land a lucrative contract from NB Power without a
formal bidding process.

He got Graham to support the plan, but NB Power refused, saying it
could not bypass the tendering process.

Tyler also arranged meetings with provincial officials for another
Revolution client, Atomic Energy of Canada Ltd. The federal Crown
corporation wants to sell New Brunswick a new, untested model of a
nuclear reactor.

The deputy minister's position opened up recently when Chris Baker,
who was Graham's chief of staff while in Opposition, left the
government for the private sector. The sensitivity of the role of
deputy minister of policy and priorities means that premiers typically
pass the post to one of their top political lieutenants.

The deputy minister is in charge of the cabinet agenda and shaping the
premier's policy agenda.

Graham had promised to create a lobbyist registry in the province. He
backed away from that commitment this week, saying it was too
expensive. Graham said he now wants to see if he can work with other
regional governments to develop an inter-provincial lobbyist registry.

Doug Tyler is a political figure in the province of New Brunswick, Canada.

Tyler was a member of the Legislative Assembly of New Brunswick from
the 1987 election until his defeat in the 1999 election. He served in
the cabinet from 1991 to 1999 overseeing various ministries, including
a stint as Deputy Premier under Camille Thériault's leadership.

Tyler was campaign manager for Paul Duffie's unsuccessful bid for the
New Brunswick Liberal Party leadership, campaign manager for the New
Brunswick Liberals in the 2003 election, co-chair for the Liberal
Party of Canada's campaign in New Brunswick in the 2004 federal
election and co-compaign manager for the New Brunswick Liberals in the
2006 provincial election.

From 2004 to 2006 he served as chief of staff to New Brunswick MP Andy
Scott in his role as Minister of Indian and Northern Affairs. On
September 20, 2006, Premier-designate of New Brunswick Shawn Graham
appointed Tyler to chair his transition team.

In his first press conference as Premier, on October 3, 2006 Shawn
Graham said the Doug Tyler was serving as his acting chief of staff.
He was replaced by former cabinet colleague Bernard Thériault who
became Graham's first permanent chief of staff on October 30, 2006. He
has worked at the Saint John-based public relations firm Revolution
Strategy.[1]

The Doug Tyler Affair
Posted on December 21, 2008 by David Campbell

The mystique. They mystery. A ‘lobbyist’ now working for the
government. Ooooooh. The Opposition is some angry that Doug Tyler,
former McKenna Minister has gone from lobbyist to senior government
position. As if that hasn’t happened before. New Brunswick is a
small province. Ex Cabinet ministers many times end up with nice
government jobs (just ask David Alward’s predecessor).

Of course I believe that senior government appointments should be
vetted for conflict of interest but that’s tough in a small province.
One thing I can say from 20 years of working in and around the system.
There is definitely ‘lobbying’ that goes on but I have never witnessed
it rise to the level of corruption. I am not saying that bribes,
payoffs, blackmail, etc. don’t happen but I have never heard about it.

There needs to be systems in place to ensure that government money is
spent appropriately (and that includes who gets hired) but I am
equally if not more concerned about having accountability systems to
ensure that government money is spent effectively.

It’s an outrage with former Minister Norm Betts spends $90 for burger
in Boston but there isn’t even a whiff of interest in whether or not
the tens of thousands of taxpayer dollars spent on that trip to Boston
was an effective use of money.

You could say the same thing about all departments of government.
There needs to be at least as much accountability related to outcomes
(results) as related to the processes (how the money was spent). It
kind of misses the point to be outraged about NB Power bonuses (a
0.02% cost item) and hardly even mention the actual success or failure
of NB Power. That is not the best example because the TJ has done a
pretty good job of reporting on the activities of NB Power. I’d double
the Deputy Minister salaries in a heartbeat if it resulted in a
doubling of the effectiveness of their departments.

Keep in mind there are LOTS of ‘policies’ that are ‘routine’ in NB
that would be a conflict of interest anywhere else simply because
there is more media elsewhere. Far bigger than that issue is how many
Irving employee’s end up in high government departments and often even
go back to Irving. Charles Leblanc has sometimes made that an issue
but nobody has really gotten into it.

And even right off the top of my head we can add the liberal deal
in Mactaquac as well as the new plaza on Fredericton’s watershed, also
shady liberal deals that have the support of the party. I’m sure NBT
could add many others, including his pet peeve, the cancellation of
the inquiry into the Caissie Populaire that has BOTH parties
fingerprints all over it. Remember, New Brunswick is a FAR more closed
government than most. And that’s without ANY investigation. Being
small doesn’t justify conflicts of interest, and people have a VERY
misguided sense of what senior bureaucrats actually do. Here the view
of the man in the street is very correct, that senior bureaucrats
simply don’t DESERVE those salaries. Unlike the private sector their
jobs seldom depend on performance, although in the private sector
thats often rarely true as well.

Anybody who has worked in business or government knows damn well
that the hard workers out there don’t do it because of the money.
There’s a reason the stereotype in movies exists where the secretary
is the brains behind the outfit. Charles Leblanc could probably do a
better job as head of NB communications, but certainly not the ‘type’
of job that government’s want, which is why the ‘best’ workers within
government are often the worst for the public utility (or just the
public).

Anonymous says: December 21, 2008 at 5:29 pm

I had thought that the NB Power bonuses were to be tied to a
variety of performance benchmarks. The biggest of these was the
timeliness and budget performance of the reactor retrofit.

I think the sensible thing in Doug Tyler’s case is to provide a
statutory requirement of a six month cooling off period, followed by
the revelation of former clients. I don’t think this would be a
revolutionary approach to lobbyist regulation in North America.

You can obviously argue that the addition of Doug Tyler to the
Liberal Government is a positive thing for New Brunswick. I also
imagine Mr Tyler had exactly the same connections and direct lines to
senior Government officials last week as a lobbyist as he does this
week as a DM. That’s not the issue. The issue is whether New
Brunswickers should know who was paying for his services before he
began officially advising Government.

Anon above was me, by the way

Anonymous says: December 21, 2008 at 5:33 pm

Good post. Did we expect a Conservative to get the post? These
appointments happen everywhere; they are simply more public in NB due
to our size.

The more important question to ask is what direction will policy
take now; more shelved reports or meaningful strategic action?

Vincerolly says: December 21, 2008 at 7:39 pm

The casual tolerance of unethical political practices under the
guise of New Brunswick’s small size is a gross indictment of the
degree to which we consider these practices to be acceptable.

In fact, there are expenditure management systems, accountability
frameworks and ethics guidelines that apply equally to all political
jurisdictions, regardless of size.

Only when we decide that we will no longer tolerate unethical
practices as a rule, and not simply on an exception basis, will it be
possible to speak of a time when these shameful practices could cease.

David Campbell says: December 21, 2008 at 7:47 pm

I am not sure how you get shameful out of this. When berard lord
made his old law partner deputy minister – is that shameful? I still
think we have to be able to differentiate between old partisans
getting plum jobs that they are at least on paper qualified for – as
Tyler is.

mikel says: December 21, 2008 at 10:31 pm

Of course the Bernard Lord case is ‘shameful’ as well. Again, go
look at what a Deputy Minister DOES. There are tons of books in the
public administration section of your library written by bureaucrats
of all stripes. To say that somebody who was a lobbyist for specific
issues or a company has the ‘paper qualifications’ to be a deputy
minister is the ‘casual tolerance’ the above poster is talking about.
However, this is how many former commonwealth countries operate, the
idea is still that the ‘elite’ are ‘more qualified’ based on the fact
that they know ‘the rules’ and the jargon. As we saw with the
Venezuela deal, knowing rules and jargon doesn’t equip one
(necessarily) with brains-in that case doing a retrofit which only has
one source of product (which tons of commentators were pointing out
during the retrofit).

If you look around at most countries there isn’t even a POSITION
known as ‘deputy minister’. For a ‘second in command’ you’d think at
least it would have to be somebody who is ELECTED. But again, that’s
Canada’s system. You only need look next door to Maine and notice that
FAR more positions are run by ballot, not by who somebody thinks
‘looks good on paper’. I didn’t even follow the above comment, is
somebody asserting that you don’t even know who he was a lobbyist
FOR?? And now he’s a deputy minister? IF that’s true, that goes FAR
beyond simply shameful, that’s downright third worldien.

Sorry, forgot to mention to Vince’s point-just because people
aren’t rioting in the streets is no reason to think that its ‘casual
acceptance’. The simple reality is that there is simply nothing people
can do about it. What’s the alternative? Set off bombs? This is voter
turnout is plummeting. NB is a little different because it has
virtually no immigration, and an aging population who still vote out
of a sense of duty. That’s rapidly changing in the world, you can look
at Ontario’s recent election, Alberta’s, even Canada’s. It’s always
interesting when CBC reports on stuff like this because then you can
get a general sense-and it isn’t pretty. Stuff like this is very
similar to what forced Britain to bring in ‘responsible government’,
at least a little of it. But it takes quite a bit of work and
organization to make radical changes in how governments operate, and
we haven’t seen much of that, which means of course such things will
continue.

David from Moncton says: December 21, 2008 at 10:40 pm

Policies and Priorities is a very partisan position. It’s not like
Tyler is being appointed to Deputy Minister of Justice or Health or
even BNB. This is the senior civil servant who helps keep the
Executive Council on track by thinking big picture rather than
reacting to the latest newspaper-inspired crisis. The position is
ill-suited to a professionally neutral public servant. It needs to be
staffed by someone who can look the premier in the eye and say,
“that’s not a good idea” rather than being another “Yes Man or Woman”.

Vincerolly says: December 21, 2008 at 11:36 pm

David, I regret that either you cannot see the conflict of
interest or alternately that your position may be that there’s nothing
to be done. Mikel also seems to be saying that in the absence of
measures to address these conflicts we should simply capitulate to
unethical comportment. Riot in the streets? The appropriate
alternative to setting off bombs in response to these ethical
challenges would, at a minimum, involve discussing how these decisions
are wrong.

And when we attempt to shrug off our responsibilities as citizens
to speak out against ethical wrongdoing — even if it happens with
regularity (or perhaps because it does), it is shameful indeed.

I don’t recall that a reasoned response to challenges to
accountability is “well, what are you going to do?”

David Campbell says: December 22, 2008 at 2:22 am

It is certainly possible that I have shrugged my shoulders a bit
because I focus – maybe more than I should – on outcomes rather than
processes.

Maybe all DM appointments should be vetted in the way a cabinet
minister is vetted in the U.S.?

Anonymous says: December 22, 2008 at 12:40 pm

This is laughable. Of course such an appointment will be someone
that is a trusted party faithful and of course they will have had
prior business or interaction with government. You guys are buying
into the hype Alward is trying to fabricate. If he gets in do you
expect him to appoint a Liberal?

Good opposition would be scrutinizing his philosphies and strategy
and exploring the priorities he intends to set. Will it be economic
development or potholes? Will it be our worst education system or
moose fencing? Will it be esculating health care costs or auto
insurance rates? Will it be tax policy or internet access? If he gets
the priorities right, we can be thankful for this appointment.

Rob says: December 22, 2008 at 12:55 pm

I don’t think his party membership is the issue. The issue is that
last week special interests were paying him to convince government to
change course in a way beneficial to those special interests. Now, Mr
Tyler is being paid by government to tell them how best to change
course.

Will consideration be given to those who buttered his bread
before? Probably not, but all doubt could be removed with proactive
disclosure.

Vincerolly says: December 22, 2008 at 5:03 pm

David, your suggestion that DMs (and perhaps other high ranking
appointments) should be vetted publicly has real merit. Of course it
would slow down the machinery of government, and there would be those
who would resist any brake on government operations. But an open
review would have the merit of allowing for political discussion, not
to remove ALL ambiguity, but to allow for at least the prospect that a
conflict of interest would meet with the full glare of the public
interest.

We should not dismiss talented, committed and ethical individuals
merely on the grounds of their partisan affiliation. David rightly
points out that many, and perhaps in some situations, most candidates
for a patronage post may have a partisan history. That in itself
should not disqualify an individual from serving in the public
interest. However, the public should be aware of that partisan
affiliation and there should be a forum to determine whether it
constitutes a conflict of interest. This would tend to hold elected
officials more accountable than the current “method”.

Surely when the ends justify the means, the public cannot be well served.

AS NB is such a ‘Small’ province why is there a need for Deputy Ministers?

Bev says: December 24, 2008 at 3:00 pm

It is interesting to see some of the comments on this article. I
wander how many of the negative posters has shown up chastising
Stephen Harper for his senate appointments.

Mr. Alward is firing blanks trying to stir the citizens of this
province up but after being part of the government that rehired 5
defeated ministers/mlas when they got defeated he has no reason to
call Mr. Tyler’s appointment into question. The sad thing or perhaps
the good thing is that Mr. Tyler has more experience then the other
five Bernard Lord and David Alward hired.

I admit that I do know Doug Tyler but I will also say that he is a
honest person and will represent Shawn Graham’s government to the
highest and with fairness.

Remember, David Alward was chosen as a party leader by only
beating an unknown candidate by fewer then 260 switched votes. The
heavy weights, Robichaud, Volpe, and others saw the light and
chickened out and left Alward to fend for himself.

Mr. Alward, having been a minister in a government that did
nothing in their last six years in office and filled so many positions
with defeated members that the government’s seam were busting, only
has to look in the mirror to see what is wrong with the PC party.

Most likely Mr. Alward’s biggest regret is that he does not have
anybody that could come near to Mr. Tyler’s experience, that he can
call on.

Anonymous says: December 25, 2008 at 2:14 pm

Tyler will at least be providing input in an official capacity.
Hopefully this is a sign of the government finding itself and creating
its own identity.

The negative backlash against people merely because of their
politics is part of the reason good people are avoiding the process.
We should be examining principles, policies and strategies of such
individuals. Instead we worry about politics; he is a long time
liberal and of course he has had prior dealings and interactions with
governments. As long as they were legal, we should drop the BS and
start working to move this province out of last place in so many
performance indicators.

mikel says: December 26, 2008 at 6:23 pm

People have a really misguided view of political machinery. It’s
not like government was up against a wall and ‘needed somebody
yesterday’. But as far as partisanship goes, again, the job of
political opposition is to oppose. Lots here are questioning the
decision, at the very least the way it was made, and the opposition’s
job is to give such opposition a voice in the legislature. Alward was
never leader of the PC’s before, so the argument can’t be made about
how he handled PC decisions. Since both parties have been around for
decades, the argument can go back and back and back that because Party
X did such and such they have no ‘authority’ to make criticisms.
That’s of course ludicrous, Mr. Alward is doing his job, and the
criticism would be far more credible if he didn’t say anything, or if
he congratulated the liberals on their choice. That, essentially, was
New Brunswick in the late eighties and early nineties. I’ll repeat, I
was around during those years and that’s when the seeds of real
poverty began and there were just as few long term success stories as
under Mr. Lord’s government. An opposition actually opposing is
necessary in a system that doesn’t give any power to the people.

Anonymous says: December 27, 2008 at 10:39 am

Mikel just helped explain why so many have become dis-engaged from
politics; opposing for the sake of opposing. No debate, no better
alternatives, no tweaking or fine tuning to optimize, no consistent
strategy or policy. Just simple if government says white, opposition
says black.

This was entertaining when the NDP did it knowing they would not
be put to task forming a government. It is disturbing when a
legitimate contender does it.

mikel says: December 27, 2008 at 9:21 pm

No, what I explained was why ANYBODY is still ‘engaged in
politics’. For the vast majority such stories as these are so common
that they are not even worth thinking about. But for ‘alternatives’,
the opposition is in no position to offer them-if some reporter asked
them they probably WOULD have an alternative suggestion, probably just
as partisan.

That’s the benefit of ‘coalition’ governments, then at least there
isn’t just black and white. The ‘opposing for the sake of opposing’ is
a result of the electoral system-its a symptom not a disease. That,
again, is why so many are disconnected from politics. Even here there
are lots of comments by people who are at least nominally interested,
but in two days this blog will be gone with no effect. THAT is why
people get disconnected-because there is no point in being connected.

Anonymous says:January 8, 2009 at 9:52 pm

As a New Brunswicker who has lived away for many years I will
offer you this thought. The tacit approval of this kind of collusion
does not go unnoticed by people across the country. Does it happen
everywhere? Sure. However, when it is seen to happen in New Brunswick
it adds to an already insidious perception of NB as a corrupt
backwater run by Irving Oil and a bunch of yahoos. Again, I was raised
in NB and I know things are more complex than this and that it is
comparatively unfair but try telling that to a “liberal” private
school snob from Upper Canada. I had always hoped that NB would get
it’s sh*t together and move towards a more participatory style
democracy. Sadly it seems the wolves still run the hen house and I
will have to continue to bear the condescending remarks on my
birthplace. Poor me :(

Russia Breaks Diplomatic Ties With NATO

Russia Breaks Diplomatic Ties With NATO

Moscow’s decision to end its diplomatic mission to the alliance will end a long, post-Cold War experiment in building trust between militaries.

MOSCOW — Russia plans to cease its diplomatic engagement with the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, the Russian foreign minister said on Monday, in the latest sign of unraveling relations between Moscow and the West.

Though significant on a diplomatic level, the announcement was not apparently accompanied by any military moves by Russia threatening European security. And Moscow still maintains diplomatic relations with the individual governments in the alliance.

The decision will end a post-Cold War experiment, never very successful, in building trust between Russia and the Western alliance, established decades ago to contain the Soviet Union, which officials in Moscow accused of later encroaching on former Soviet territory.

By early next month, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said, Russia will halt the activities of its representative office at NATO headquarters in Brussels and withdraw diplomatic credentials from emissaries of the alliance working in Moscow.

NATO’s response was muted. “We have taken note of the decision by Russia to suspend the work of its diplomatic mission,” a spokeswoman, Oana Lungescu, said. “NATO’s policy toward Russia remains consistent. We have strengthened our deterrence and defense in response to Russia’s aggressive actions, while at the same time we remain open to dialogue.”

The breakoff of diplomatic ties also comes as President Biden is seeking to strengthen the European alliance after former President Donald J. Trump denigrated members as freeloaders on American military spending and threatened to withdraw.

Relations between Moscow and the West have been strained for years, but the immediate impetus for the Russian move was a spy scandal.

Earlier this month, NATO ordered eight Russian diplomats to leave Belgium by Nov. 1, saying they were undeclared intelligence officers. The alliance also reduced the size of the Russian representative office.

In response, Mr. Lavrov said Russia’s entire diplomatic mission would leave by Nov. 1, or a few days after that date.

“Because of NATO’s targeted steps, proper conditions for elemental diplomatic activity don’t exist,” he said. “In response to NATO’s actions, we are halting the work of our permanent representation to NATO, including the work of the main military envoy.”

Relations with the alliance had in any case long ago gone off the rails, he said. NATO had already twice reduced the size of the Russian delegation, in 2015 and 2018, he said. “On the military level there are absolutely no contacts taking place,” he said.

He said NATO had set up a “prohibitive regime” for Russian diplomats in Brussels by banning them from its headquarters building. Without visiting the building, he said, they could not maintain ties with alliance officials.

Mr. Lavrov suggested the expulsions of Russian diplomats had come as an unwelcome surprise, as he had met in New York just days earlier with the alliance’s secretary general, Jens Stoltenberg, and discussed de-escalating tensions.

“He in every way underscored the honest, as he said, interest in the North Atlantic alliance in normalizing relations with the Russian Federation,” Mr. Lavrov said.

NATO could still convey diplomatic messages to Russia’s embassy in Brussels, if necessary, Mr. Lavrov said.

In addition to diplomatic frictions, military tensions have also escalated in recent years, including last spring when Russian troops massed along Ukraine’s border, ostensibly for a military exercise.

In the immediate post-Cold War era, Russia had claimed a moral high ground in relations with NATO. Moscow, Russians noted, had dismantled its alliance of that era, the Warsaw Pact, while NATO in contrast expanded into former Soviet and East Bloc nations. Russia has since initiated new military alliances of its own, with former Soviet states and with China.

Relations were also strained by NATO’s intervention in the Balkan wars in the 1990s against Serbia, a Russian ally.

Russia responded, for a time, by dispatching an outspoken nationalist, Dmitry O. Rogozin, now the director of Russia’s space program, as its emissary to the alliance in Brussels, where he became a thorn in the side of NATO officials.

The problems simmered on. NATO’s view of Russia dimmed further after Russia intervened militarily in Ukraine in 2014. Ukraine is not a NATO member, but Russia’s aggressive moves there revived worries of an expansionist Kremlin agenda in Eastern Europe.

In announcing the halt to Russia’s diplomatic relations with NATO, Mr. Lavrov said Monday that the alliance didn’t show any interest in “equal dialogue or joint work.” He said there was no need to “go on pretending that in the foreseeable future anything will change.”

Rivals on World Stage, Russia and U.S. Quietly Seek Areas of Accord

There have been a series of beneath-the-surface meetings between the two countries as the Biden administration applies a more sober approach to relations with the Kremlin.

By Anton Troianovski and David E. Sanger

Oct. 31, 2021Updated 10:33 a.m. ET

MOSCOW — It might seem as if little has changed for Russia and the United States, two old adversaries seeking to undercut each other around the world.

Russian nuclear-capable missiles have been spotted on the move near Ukraine, and the Kremlin has signaled the possibility of a new intervention there. It has tested hypersonic cruise missiles that skirt American defenses and cut all ties with the American-led NATO alliance. After a summer pause, ransomware attacks emanating from Russian territory have resumed, and this past week, Microsoft revealed a new Russian cybersurveillance campaign.

Since President Biden took office nine months ago, the United States has imposed sweeping new sanctions on Russia, continued to arm and train Ukraine’s military and threatened retaliatory cyberattacks against Russian targets. The American Embassy in Moscow has virtually stopped issuing visas.

As world leaders met at the Group of 20 summit this weekend in Rome, Mr. Biden did not even get the chance to hash things out with his Russian counterpart face to face because President Vladimir V. Putin, citing coronavirus concerns, attended the event remotely.

Yet beneath the surface brinkmanship, the two global rivals are now also doing something else: talking.

The summit between Mr. Biden and Mr. Putin in June in Geneva touched off a series of contacts between the two countries, including three trips to Moscow by senior Biden administration officials since July, and more meetings with Russian officials on neutral ground in Finland and Switzerland.

There is a serious conversation underway on arms control, the deepest in years. The White House’s top adviser for cyber and emerging technologies, Anne Neuberger, has engaged in a series of quiet, virtual meetings with her Kremlin counterpart. Several weeks ago — after an extensive debate inside the American intelligence community over how much to reveal — the United States turned over the names and other details of a few hackers actively launching attacks on America.

Now, one official said, the United States is waiting to see if the information results in arrests, a test of whether Mr. Putin was serious when he said he would facilitate a crackdown on ransomware and other cybercrime.

Officials in both countries say the flurry of talks has so far yielded little of substance but helps to prevent Russian-American tensions from spiraling out of control.

A senior administration official said the United States was “very cleareyed” about Mr. Putin and the Kremlin’s intentions but thinks it can work together on issues like arms control. The official noted that Russia had been closely aligned with the United States on restoring the Iran nuclear deal and, to a lesser degree, dealing with North Korea, but acknowledged that there were many other areas where the Russians “try to throw a wrench into the works.”

Mr. Biden’s measured approach has earned plaudits in Russia’s foreign policy establishment, which views the White House’s increased engagement as a sign that America is newly prepared to make deals.

“Biden understands the importance of a sober approach,” said Fyodor Lukyanov, a prominent Moscow foreign policy analyst who advises the Kremlin. “The most important thing that Biden understands is that he won’t change Russia. Russia is the way it is.”

For the White House, the talks are a way to try to head off geopolitical surprises that could derail Mr. Biden’s priorities — competition with China and a domestic agenda facing myriad challenges. For Mr. Putin, talks with the world’s richest and most powerful nation are a way to showcase Russia’s global influence — and burnish his domestic image as a guarantor of stability.

“What the Russians hate more than anything else is to be disregarded,” said Fiona Hill, who served as the top Russia expert in the National Security Council under President Donald J. Trump, before testifying against him in his first impeachment hearings. “Because they want to be a major player on the stage, and if we’re not paying that much attention to them they are going to find ways of grabbing our attention.”

For the United States, however, the outreach is fraught with risk, exposing the Biden administration to criticism that it is too willing to engage with a Putin-led Russia that continues to undermine American interests and repress dissent.

European officials worry Russia is playing hardball amid the region’s energy crisis, holding out for the approval of a new pipeline before delivering more gas. New footage, circulated on social media on Friday, showed missiles and other Russian weaponry on the move near Ukraine, raising speculation about the possibility of new Russian action against the country.

In the United States, it is the destructive nature of Russia’s cybercampaign that has officials particularly concerned. Microsoft’s disclosure of a new campaign to get into its cloud services and infiltrate thousands of American government, corporation and think tank networks made clear that Russia was ignoring the sanctions Mr. Biden issued after the Solar Winds hack in January.

But it also represented what now looks like a lasting change in Russian tactics, according to Dmitri Alperovitch, the chairman of the research group Silverado Policy Accelerator. He noted that the move to undermine America’s cyberspace infrastructure, rather than just hack into individual corporate or federal targets, was “a tactical direction shift, not a one-off operation.”

Russia has already found ways to use Mr. Biden’s desire for what the White House refers to as a more “stable and predictable” relationship to exact concessions from Washington.

When Victoria Nuland, a top State Department official, sought to visit Moscow for talks at the Kremlin recently, the Russian government did not immediately agree. Seen in Moscow as one of Washington’s most influential Russia hawks, Ms. Nuland was on a blacklist of people barred from entering the country.

But the Russians offered a deal. If Washington approved a visa for a top Russian diplomat who had been unable to enter the United States since 2019, then Ms. Nuland could come to Moscow. The Biden administration took the offer.

Ms. Nuland’s conversations in Moscow were described as wide ranging, but in the flurry of talks between the United States and Russia, there are clearly areas the Kremlin does not want to discuss: Russia’s crackdown on dissent and the treatment of the imprisoned opposition leader Aleksei A. Navalny have gone largely unaddressed, despite the disapproval that Mr. Biden voiced on the matter this year.

While Mr. Biden will not see Mr. Putin in person at the Group of 20 summit in Rome or at the Glasgow climate summit, Dmitri S. Peskov, Mr. Putin’s spokesman, said in October that another meeting this year “in one format or another” between the two presidents was “quite realistic.”

“Biden has been very successful in his signaling toward Russia,” said Kadri Liik, a Russia specialist at the European Council on Foreign Relations in Berlin. “What Russia wants is the great power privilege to break rules. But for that, you need rules to be there. And like it or not the United States is still an important player among the world’s rule setters."

The most notable talks between Russian and American officials have been on what the two call “strategic stability” — a phrase that encompasses traditional arms control and the concerns that new technology, including the use of artificial intelligence to command weapons systems, could lead to accidental war or reduce the decision time for leaders to avoid conflict. Wendy Sherman, the deputy secretary of state, has led a delegation on those issues, and American officials describe them as a “bright spot” in the relationship.

Working groups have been set up, including one that will discuss “novel weapons” like Russia’s Poseidon, an autonomous nuclear torpedo.

While Pentagon officials say that China’s nuclear modernization is their main long-term threat, Russia remains the immediate challenge. “Russia is still the most imminent threat, simply because they have 1,550 deployed nuclear weapons,” Gen. John E. Hyten, who will retire in a few weeks as the vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told reporters on Thursday

In other contacts, John F. Kerry, Mr. Biden’s climate envoy, spent four days in Moscow in July. And Robert Malley, the special envoy for Iran, held talks in Moscow in September.

Aleksei Overchuk, a Russian deputy prime minister, met with Ms. Sherman and Jake Sullivan, Mr. Biden’s national security adviser — talks that Mr. Overchuk described as “very good and honest” in comments to Russian news media.

Mr. Putin, finely attuned to the subtleties of diplomatic messaging after more than 20 years in power, welcomes such gestures of respect. Analysts noted that he recently also sent his own signal: Asked by an Iranian guest at a conference in October whether Mr. Biden’s withdrawal from Afghanistan heralded the decline of American power, Mr. Putin countered by praising Mr. Biden’s decision and rejecting the notion that the chaotic departure would have a long-term effect on America’s image.

“Time will pass and everything will fall into place, without leading to any cardinal changes,” Mr. Putin said. “The country’s attractiveness doesn’t depend on this, but on its economic and military might.”

More NATO Ships Enter Black Sea While Tensions With Russia Simmer

The flagship of Standing NATO Maritime Group 2 entered the Black Sea on Thursday with two more alliance warships set to join the Sea Breeze exercises that started earlier this week, NATO announced.

Frigate ITS Virginio Fasan (F 591) passed through the Bosphorus headed for the Black Sea with a Turkish frigate and will join with a Romanian warship, according to ship spotters in Turkey.

“During [Fasan’s] deployment in the Black Sea, and after the joining of TCG Barbaros and ROS Regina Maria, SNMG2 will participate in bilateral U.S.-Ukraine exercise Sea Breeze,” reads a statement from NATO.

To date, NATO ships that have entered the Black Sea are the U.S. guided-missile destroyers USS Laboon (DDG-58) and USS Ross (DDG-71), French diving support ship FS Alizé A645, British guided-missile destroyer HMS Defender (D63), patrol vessel HMS Trent (P224) and the Dutch frigate HNLMS Evertsen (F805).

The recent ships’ transits into the Black Sea follow last week’s clashes between Russian military forces and Defender and Evertsen. While transiting the Black Sea off the coast of Crimea, Russian fighters and patrol vessels operated close to Defender while Russian forces warned the destroyer away from the vicinity of the coast, USNI News reported at the time.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2kG2R1GY0UI&ab_channel=USNINewsVideo

Earlier this week, images showing Russian fighters with anti-ship missiles flying over Evertsen in the Black Sea were released by the Dutch defense ministry. Dutch Defense minister Ank Bijleveld-Schouten called the Russian actions against Evertsen“irresponsible.”

“Evertsen has every right to sail there,” Bijleveld-Schouten said, according to SkyNews.
“There is no justification whatsoever for this kind of aggressive act, which also unnecessarily increases the chance of accidents.”

Earlier this week, when asked about the incidents on a television show, Russian president Vladimir Putin said the intent of the alliance ships in the Black Sea was to help establish U.S. bases in the region, according to a translation of the exchange by the BBC.

“They know they cannot win this conflict: we would be fighting for our own territory; we didn’t travel thousands of miles to get to their borders, they did,” he said.

The exercises and the Russian response come after unknown entities have falsified the automatic identification system (AIS) tracks for NATO warships to show them near the Russian-held territory of Crimea.

USNI News reported the automatic identification system (AIS) tracks of Defender and Evertsen were falsified on June 18 to show the warships off of the Russian naval base in Sevastopol in Crimea, while a track for USS Ross (DDG-71) was falsified on June 29 operating about 5 miles from the Crimean coast.

Far apart at first summit, Biden and Putin agree to steps on cybersecurity, arms control

Summary

Biden asks Putin about pipeline ransomware attacks
Three-hour talks described as professional rather than friendly
U.S., Russia to send their ambassadors back to their capitals
First U.S.-Russian summit since Biden took office in January

GENEVA, June 16 (Reuters) - U.S. President Joe Biden and Russian President Vladimir Putin agreed on Wednesday to begin cybersecurity and arms control talks at a summit that highlighted their discord on those issues, human rights and Ukraine.

In their first meeting since he took office in January, Biden asked Putin how he would feel if a ransomware attack hit Russia's oil network, a pointed question making reference to the May shutdown of a pipeline that caused disruptions and panic-buying along the U.S. East Coast.

While Biden stressed that he did not make threats during the three-hour meeting, he said he outlined U.S. interests, including cybersecurity, and made clear to Putin that the United States would respond if Russia infringed on those concerns.

Both men used careful pleasantries to describe their talks in a lakeside Swiss villa, with Putin calling them constructive and without hostility and Biden saying there was no substitute for face-to-face discussions.

They also agreed to send their ambassadors back to each other's capitals. Russia recalled its envoy after Biden said in March that he thought Putin was a "killer." The United States recalled its ambassador soon after.

Putin said on Wednesday that he had been satisfied by Biden’s explanation of the remark.

But there was no hiding their differences on issues such as human rights, where Biden said the consequences for Russia would be "devastating" if jailed Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny died, or cyberspace, where Washington has demanded Moscow crack down on ransomware attacks emanating from Russian soil.

"I looked at him and said: 'How would you feel if ransomware took on the pipelines from your oil fields?' He said: 'It would matter,'" Biden told reporters at an unusual solo news conference, itself an illustration of the tensions between the two nations.

The query referred to a cyberattack that closed the Colonial Pipeline Co (COLPI.UL) system for several days in May, preventing millions of barrels of gasoline, diesel and jet fuel from flowing to the East Coast from the Gulf Coast.

Biden also vowed to take action against any Russian cyberattacks: "I pointed out to him that we have significant cyber capability. And he knows it."

'THIS IS NOT ABOUT TRUST'

Speaking to reporters before Biden, Putin dismissed U.S. concerns about Navalny, Russia's increased military presence near Ukraine's eastern border and U.S. suggestions that Russians were responsible for the cyberattacks on the United States.

He also suggested Washington was in no position to lecture Moscow on rights, batting away question about his crackdown on political rivals by saying he was trying to avoid the "disorder" of a popular movement, such as Black Lives Matter.

"What we saw was disorder, disruption, violations of the law, etc. We feel sympathy for the United States of America, but we don’t want that to happen on our territory and we'll do our utmost in order to not allow it to happen,” he said.

He also seemed to question the legitimacy of arresting the rioters who attacked the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, seeking to stop Biden’s certification as president after he beat his predecessor, Donald Trump, in the November election by over 7 million votes.

Biden said any comparison between what happened on Jan. 6 and the Black Lives Matter movement was “ridiculous.”

U.S.-Russia relations have been deteriorating for years, notably with Russia's 2014 annexation of Crimea from Ukraine, its 2015 intervention in Syria and U.S. charges - denied by Moscow - of meddling in the 2016 election won by Trump.

Neither side gave details on how their planned cybersecurity talks might unfold, although Biden said he told Putin that critical infrastructure should be “off-limits” to cyberattacks, saying that included 16 sectors that he did not publicly identify.

"We need some basic rules of the road that we can all abide by," Biden said he had told Putin.

Biden said he raised human rights issues because it was in the "DNA" of his country to do so, and also because of the fate of U.S. citizens jailed in Russia.

Putin said he believed some compromises could be found, although he gave no indication of any prisoner exchange deal.

Putin, 68, called Biden, 78, a constructive, experienced partner, and said they spoke "the same language." But he added that there had been no friendship, rather a pragmatic dialogue about their two countries' interests.

"President Biden has miscalculated who he is dealing with," said U.S. Republican Senator Lindsey Graham, who is close to Trump. He called it "disturbing" to hear Biden suggest that Putin cared about his standing in the world.

Trump was accused by both Democrats and some Republicans of not being tough enough on Putin, particularly during a jovial 2018 meeting in Helsinki between the two leaders.

This time, there were separate news conferences and no shared meal.

Both Biden and Putin said they shared a responsibility, however, for nuclear stability, and would hold talks on possible changes to their recently extended New START arms limitation treaty.

In February, Russia and the United States extended New START for five years. The treaty caps the number of strategic nuclear warheads they can deploy and limits the land- and submarine-based missiles and bombers to deliver them.

A senior U.S. official told reporters that Biden, Putin, their foreign ministers and interpreters met first for 93 minutes. After a break, the two sides met for 87 minutes in a larger group including their ambassadors.

Putin said it was "hard to say" if relations would improve, but that there was a "glimpse of hope."

“This is not about trust, this is about self-interest and verification of self-interest,” Biden said, but he also cited a “genuine prospect” of improving relations.

The exercise includes surface ships, anti-submarine aircraft and long range bombers.

U.S. defense officials said that on Sunday, the U.S. scrambled F-22s from Hawaii in response to the bomber flights, but the bombers did not enter the Air Defense Identification Zone and were not intercepted.

At the same time, officials said a U.S. carrier strike group headed by the USS Vinson is operating about 200 miles east of Hawaii, conducting a strike group certification exercise. The exercise had been planned but was moved closer to Hawaii in response to the Russian exercise.

"U.S. Indo-Pacific Command is monitoring the Russian vessels operating in international waters in the Western Pacific," U.S. Indo-Pacific Command spokesman Captain Mike Kafka told CBS News in a statement.

"We operate in accordance with international law of the sea and in the air to ensure that all nations can do the same without fear or contest and in order to secure a free and open Indo-Pacific. As Russia operates within the region, it is expected to do so in accordance with international law."

Earlier this year, Russia built up tens of thousands of troops on the border with Ukraine as a part of what it called an exercise before reducing troops in late April after a month of buildup. The Pentagon called on Russia to be more transparent about troop movements during the buildup.

After meeting with NATO leaders on Monday, Mr. Biden indicated in a press conference that he will address the transparency of Russia's behavior in his meeting with Mr. Putin.

"I shared with our allies that I will convey to President Putin: That I'm not looking for conflict with Russia, but that we will respond if Russia continues its harmful activities and that we will not fail to defend the Transatlantic Alliance or stand up for democratic values," Mr. Biden said.

Putin warns of 'quick and tough' response to any provocation by the West

Issued on: 21/04/2021 - 16:36

Text by: NEWS WIRES

President Vladimir Putin on Wednesday sternly warned the West against encroaching further on Russia’s security interests, saying Moscow’s response will be “quick and tough” and make the culprits feel bitterly sorry for their action.

The warning during Putin’s annual state-of-the-nation address came amid a massive Russian military buildup near Ukraine, where cease-fire violations in the seven-year conflict between Russia-backed separatists and Ukrainian forces have escalated in recent weeks. The United States and its allies have urged the Kremlin to pull the troops back.

“I hope that no one dares to cross the red line in respect to Russia, and we will determine where it is in each specific case,” Putin said. “Those who organize any provocations threatening our core security interests will regret their deeds more than they regretted anything for a long time.”

Moscow has rejected Ukrainian and Western concerns about the troop buildup, saying it doesn’t threaten anyone and that Russia is free to deploy its forces on its territory. But the Kremlin also has warned Ukraine against trying to use force to retake control of the rebel-held east, saying Russia could be forced to intervene to protect civilians in the region.

“We really don’t want to burn the bridges,” Putin said. “But if some mistake our good intentions for indifference or weakness and intend to burn or even blow up those bridges themselves, Russia’s response will be asymmetrical, quick and tough."

Outrage over Navanly's treatment

As Putin spoke, a wave of protests started rolling across Russia’s far east in support of imprisoned opposition leader Alexei Navalny. The politician, who is Putin’s most persistent critic and was poisoned with a chemical nerve agent last year, started a hunger strike three weeks ago to protest what he said was inadequate medical treatment and officials’ refusal to allow his doctor to visit him.

Navalny’s treatment and deteriorating condition has caused international outrage and prompted his allies to call the nationwide protests. Police detained several Navalny associates in Moscow and moved to disperse unauthorized demonstrations across Russia, arresting scores.

In his speech, Putin pointed to Russia’s moves to modernize its nuclear arsenal and said the military would continue to build more state-of-the-art hypersonic missiles and other new weapons. He added that the development of the nuclear-armed Poseidon underwater drone and the Burevestnik nuclear-powered cruise missile is continuing successfully.

In an apparent reference to the U.S. and its allies, the Russian leader denounced those who impose “unlawful, politically motivated economic sanctions and crude attempts to enforce its will on others.” He said Russia has shown restraint and often refrained from responding to “openly boorish” actions by others.

The Biden administration last week imposed new sanctions on Russia for interfering in the 2020 U.S. presidential election and for involvement in the SolarWind hack of federal agencies — activities Moscow has denied. The U.S. ordered 10 Russian diplomats expelled, targeted dozens of companies and individuals, and imposed new curbs on Russia’s ability to borrow money.

Russia retaliated by ordering 10 U.S. diplomats to leave, blacklisting eight current and former U.S. officials, and tightening requirements for U.S. Embassy operations.

“Russia has its own interests, which we will defend in line with the international law,” Putin said during Wednesday’s address. “If somebody refuses to understand this obvious thing, is reluctant to conduct a dialogue and chooses a selfish and arrogant tone, Russia will always find a way to defend its position.”

'Bullying Russia' is a 'new sport'

In an emotional outburst, Putin chastised the West for acquiring a defiant stance toward Russia.

“Some countries have developed a nasty habit of bullying Russia for any reason or without any reason at all. It has become a new sport,” he said.

In an apparent reference to the U.S. allies, he compared them to Tabaqui, a cowardly golden jackal kowtowing to Shere Khan, the tiger in Rudyard Kipling’s “Jungle Book.” “They howl to please their lord,” he said.

Russia this week engaged in a tense tug-of-war with the Czech Republic, following Prague’s move to expel 18 Russian diplomats over a massive Czech ammunition depot explosion in 2014. Moscow has dismissed the Czech accusations of its involvement in the blast as absurd and retaliated by expelling 20 Czech diplomats.

Putin also harshly criticized the West for failing to condemn what he described as a botched coup attempt and a failed plot to assassinate Belarus’ President Alexander Lukashenko, allegedly involving a blockade of the country’s capital, power cuts and cyberattacks. Belarusian and Russian security agencies arrested the alleged coup plotters in Moscow earlier this month.

The practice of organizing coups and planning political assassinations of top officials goes over the top and crosses all boundaries,” Putin said, drawing parallels to plots against Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and the popular protests that led to the ouster of Ukraine’s former Russia-friendly president, Viktor Yanukovych, in 2014.

Russia responded to Yanukovych’s ouster by annexing Ukraine’s Crimean Peninsula and throwing its support to the separatists in the country’s east. Since then, fighting there has killed more than 14,000 people and devastated the industrial heartland.

Putin dedicated most of his annual address to domestic issues, hailing the nation’s response to the coronavirus pandemic. He said the quick development of three coronavirus vaccines underlined Russia’s technological and industrial potential. He called for a quicker pace of immunizations, voicing hope the country could achieve collective immunity this fall.

He put forward incentives to help the economy recover from the pandemic and promised new social payments focusing on families with children.

Russia Bolsters Its Submarine Fleet, and Tensions With U.S. Rise

By Eric Schmitt April 20, 2016

NAPLES, Italy — Russian attack submarines, the most in two decades, are prowling the coastlines of Scandinavia and Scotland, the Mediterranean Sea and the North Atlantic in what Western military officials say is a significantly increased presence aimed at contesting American and NATO undersea dominance.

Adm. Mark Ferguson, the United States Navy’s top commander in Europe, said last fall that the intensity of Russian submarine patrols had risen by almost 50 percent over the past year, citing public remarks by the Russian Navy chief, Adm. Viktor Chirkov. Analysts say that tempo has not changed since then.

The patrols are the most visible sign of a renewed interest in submarine warfare by President Vladimir V. Putin, whose government has spent billions of dollars for new classes of diesel and nuclear-powered attack submarines that are quieter, better armed and operated by more proficient crews than in the past.

The tensions are part of an expanding rivalry and military buildup, with echoes of the Cold War, between the United States and Russia. Moscow is projecting force not only in the North Atlantic but also in Syria and Ukraine and building up its nuclear arsenal and cyberwarfare capacities in what American military officials say is an attempt to prove its relevance after years of economic decline and retrenchment.

Independent American military analysts see the increased Russian submarine patrols as a legitimate challenge to the United States and NATO. Even short of tensions, there is the possibility of accidents and miscalculations. But whatever the threat, the Pentagon is also using the stepped-up Russian patrols as another argument for bigger budgets for submarines and anti-submarine warfare.

American naval officials say that in the short term, the growing number of Russian submarines, with their ability to shadow Western vessels and European coastlines, will require more ships, planes and subs to monitor them. In the long term, the Defense Department has proposed $8.1 billion over the next five years for “undersea capabilities,” including nine new Virginia-class attack submarines that can carry up to 40 Tomahawk cruise missiles, more than triple the capacity now.

“We’re back to the great powers competition,” Adm. John M. Richardson, the chief of naval operations, said in an interview.

Last week, unarmed Russian warplanes repeatedly buzzed a Navy destroyer in the Baltic Sea and at one point came within 30 feet of the warship, American officials said. Last year some of Russia’s new diesel submarines launched four cruise missiles at targets in Syria.

Mr. Putin’s military modernization program also includes new intercontinental ballistic missiles as well as aircraft, tanks and air defense systems.

To be sure, there is hardly parity between the Russian and American submarine fleets. Russia has about 45 attack submarines — about two dozen are nuclear-powered and 20 are diesel — which are designed to sink other submarines or ships, collect intelligence and conduct patrols. But Western naval analysts say that only about half of those are able to deploy at any given time. Most stay closer to home and maintain an operational tempo far below a Cold War peak.

The United States has 53 attack submarines, all nuclear-powered, as well as four other nuclear-powered submarines that carry cruise missiles and Special Operations forces. At any given time, roughly a third of America’s attack submarines are at sea, either on patrols or training, with the others undergoing maintenance. American Navy officials and Western analysts say that American attack submarines, which are made for speed, endurance and stealth to deploy far from American shores, remain superior to their Russian counterparts.

The Pentagon is also developing sophisticated technology to monitor encrypted communications from Russian submarines and new kinds of remotely controlled or autonomous vessels. Members of the NATO alliance, including Britain, Germany and Norway, are at the same time buying or considering buying new submarines in response to the Kremlin’s projection of force in the Baltic and Arctic.

But Moscow’s recently revised national security and maritime strategies emphasize the need for Russian maritime forces to project power and to have access to the broader Atlantic Ocean as well as the Arctic.

Russian submarines and spy ships now operate near the vital undersea cables that carry almost all global Internet communications, raising concerns among some American military and intelligence officials that the Russians could attack those lines in times of tension or conflict. Russia is also building an undersea unmanned drone capable of carrying a small, tactical nuclear weapon to use against harbors or coastal areas, American military and intelligence analysts said.

And, like the United States, Russia operates larger nuclear-powered submarines that carry long-range nuclear missiles and spend months at a time hiding in the depths of the ocean. Those submarines, although lethal, do not patrol like the attack submarines do, and do not pose the same degree of concern to American Naval officials.

Analysts say that Moscow’s continued investment in attack submarines is in contrast to the quality of many of Russia’s land and air forces that frayed in the post-Cold War era.

“In the Russian naval structure, submarines are the crown jewels for naval combat power,” said Magnus Nordenman, director of the Atlantic Council’s trans-Atlantic security initiative in Washington. “The U.S. and NATO haven’t focused on anti-submarine operations lately, and they’ve let that skill deteriorate.”

That has allowed for a rapid Russian resurgence, Western and American officials say, partly in response to what they say is Russia’s fear of being hemmed in.

“I don’t think many people understand the visceral way Russia views NATO and the European Union as an existential threat,” Admiral Ferguson said in an interview.

In Naples, at the headquarters of the United States Navy’s European operations, including the Sixth Fleet, commanders for the first time in decades are having to closely monitor Russian submarine movements through the maritime choke points separating Greenland, Iceland and the United Kingdom, the G.I.U.K. Gap, which during the Cold War were crucial to the defense of Europe.

That stretch of ocean, hundreds of miles wide, represented the line that Soviet naval forces would have had to cross to reach the Atlantic and to stop United States forces heading across the sea to reinforce America’s European allies in time of conflict.

American anti-submarine aircraft were stationed for decades at the Naval Air Station Keflavik in Iceland — in the middle of the gap — but they withdrew in 2006, years after the Cold War. The Navy after that relied on P-3 sub-hunter planes rotating periodically through the base.

Now, the Navy is poised to spend about $20 million to upgrade hangars and support sites at Keflavik to handle its new, more advanced P-8A Poseidon maritime patrol aircraft. That money is part of the Pentagon’s new $3.4 billion European Reassurance Initiative, a quadrupling of funds from last year to deploy heavy weapons, armored vehicles and other equipment to NATO countries in Central and Eastern Europe, to deter Russian aggression.

Navy officials express concern that more Russian submarine patrols will push out beyond the Atlantic into the Mediterranean and the Black Sea. Russia has one Mediterranean port now, in Tartus, Syria, but Navy officials here say Moscow wants to establish others, perhaps in Cyprus, Egypt or even Libya.

“If you have a Russian nuclear attack submarine wandering around the Med, you want to track it,” said Dmitry Gorenburg, a Russian military specialist at the Center for Naval Analyses in Washington.

This month, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency christened a 132-foot prototype drone sea craft packed with sensors, the Sea Hunter, which is made with the intention of hunting autonomously for submarines and mines for up to three months at a time.

The allies are also holding half a dozen anti-submarine exercises this year, including a large drill scheduled later this spring called Dynamic Mongoose in the North Sea. The exercise is to include warships and submarines from Britain, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland and the United States.

“We are not quite back in a Cold War,” said James G. Stavridis, a retired admiral and the former supreme allied commander of NATO, who is now dean of the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University. “But I sure can see one from where we are standing.”

Russia to consider Biden plan for Putin summit

Published 14 April

Hours after US President Joe Biden proposed a summit with Russia's Vladimir Putin, the Kremlin has said it will study the idea.

"It is early to talk about this meeting in terms of specifics," said Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov.

Mr Biden made the proposal on the phone with Mr Putin, raising concerns about Russia's troop build-up on Ukraine's borders, the White House said.

Mr Biden also spoke of building a "stable and predictable" relationship.

The phone-call late on Tuesday was only the second conversation that President Biden has had with Russia's leader since he took office in January. Moscow recalled its ambassador for consultations last month after Mr Biden said he considered President Putin to be a "killer".

Mr Biden's predecessor, Donald Trump, met Mr Putin in Finland in 2018 and Finnish President Sauli Niinisto has reportedly offered to host a new summit.

Mr Niinisto's office said in a statement that he had a long call with the Russian leader on Tuesday evening and expressed concern about the troop build-up.

Mr Peskov said on Wednesday that "without doubt bilateral ties are important".

How significant is the troop build-up?

The US and European leaders have watched Russian military movements with increasing alarm. Ukraine's presidential spokeswoman, Yulia Mendel, said this week that Russia now had some 40,000 troops on the border with eastern Ukraine and a further 42,000 in Crimea, which was seized and then annexed by Russia in 2014.

Russian-backed separatists then took control of parts of eastern Ukraine in a conflict in which some 14,000 people have died, and clashes have flared up in recent weeks.

Until now Moscow has spoken of its troop movements as an internal affair, and Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu said on Tuesday they were part of a three-week drill to test combat readiness. He accused Nato of moving troops near Russia's borders, which the Western military alliance has denied.

How has Nato responded?

Nato Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg called for an end to the "unjustified, unexplained and deeply concerning" military build-up, after talks in Brussels on Tuesday with US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken as well as Ukraine's foreign minister. Ukraine is not part of Nato but its president, Volodymyr Zelensky, is keen to join.

UK Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab has called on Russia to end "provocations" and de-escalate tensions.

Ukraine's military said it was conducting exercises near the Crimean peninsula in case of a Russian attack and the US is sending two warships to the Black Sea, which has prompted Russia's navy to move some of its fleet there from the Caspian Sea.

In a separate development, the Kremlin said Mr Putin's foreign policy adviser, Yuri Ushakov, had warned the US ambassador over any "unfriendly steps" Washington might take, such as imposing further sanctions.

President Joseph R. Biden, Jr. spoke today with President Vladimir Putin of Russia. They discussed a number of regional and global issues, including the intent of the United States and Russia to pursue a strategic stability dialogue on a range of arms control and emerging security issues, building on the extension of the New START Treaty. President Biden also made clear that the United States will act firmly in defense of its national interests in response to Russia’s actions, such as cyber intrusions and election interference. President Biden emphasized the United States’ unwavering commitment to Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity. The President voiced our concerns over the sudden Russian military build-up in occupied Crimea and on Ukraine’s borders, and called on Russia to de-escalate tensions. President Biden reaffirmed his goal of building a stable and predictable relationship with Russia consistent with U.S. interests, and proposed a summit meeting in a third country in the coming months to discuss the full range of issues facing the United States and Russia.

Russia’s Buildup Near Ukraine Puts Team Biden on Edge

Is Russia testing the waters or just testing Biden?

By Amy Mackinnon, Jack Detsch, and Robbie Gramer

April 2, 2021, 2:44 PM

Russia is massing an unusual number of troops on the border with Ukraine, posing an early test for the Biden administration as it looks to repair relations with NATO allies and distinguish itself from former U.S. President Donald Trump’s controversial approach to relations with Moscow.

The buildup of forces on the Ukrainian border, along with hundreds of cease-fire violations in Ukraine’s eastern territories controlled by Russia-backed separatists, has alarmed NATO and sparked a flurry of phone calls between senior members of the Biden administration and their Ukrainian and Russian counterparts.

“They’re probing, they’re trying to see what we’re going to do, what NATO would do, what the Ukrainians would do,” said Jim Townsend, a former U.S. deputy assistant secretary of defense for Europe and NATO until 2017. “Is this a jumpy administration, or is this an administration that’s going to act with resolve? They’re doing all of these things to assess where the new administration is.”

President Joe Biden spoke to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Friday, according to a Ukrainian readout, the first conversation between the two countries’ leaders since Trump’s ill-fated call in July 2019 with Zelensky that sparked his first impeachment investigation. “We stand shoulder to shoulder when it comes to preservation of our democracies,” the Ukrainian leader tweeted after the 50-minute conversation.

Envoys from the 30-member NATO alliance met on Thursday to discuss the matter and expressed concern about Russia’s large-scale military exercises and the uptick in cease-fire violations, a NATO official told Foreign Policy. “Russia’s destabilizing actions undermine efforts to de-escalate tensions,” the official said. “NATO continues to support Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity. We remain vigilant and continue to monitor the situation closely.”

On Friday, the Kremlin warned that any deployment of NATO troops to Ukraine would escalate tensions further and prompt Russia to take additional measures to protect itself.

The conflict in eastern Ukraine between the country’s armed forces and Russia-backed separatists has periodically flared since a 2015 peace deal brought the worst of the fighting to an end. Observers of the conflict say the current escalation is of a different magnitude than previous scares.

Videos shared by Russian social media users, which are difficult to independently verify, appear to show trains and convoys of military vehicles streaming to the border with Ukraine and Crimea, the strategic Ukrainian peninsula on the Black Sea that Russia illegally annexed in 2014. Observers and experts are still trying to sort out Russian intentions behind the buildup, which appeared to outpace Moscow’s normal tempo for military exercises.

“[Russian President Vladimir Putin is] not so obvious when he pulls the big move. Why is he letting us see this?” said Townsend, the former Pentagon official.

Former U.S. officials saw this as a clear effort by Moscow to test the new Biden administration, which is still parsing policy reviews on how to craft a new strategy toward Russia after other escalations, including a massive hack on U.S. government agencies that Washington has blamed on the Kremlin.

“This could be a troop maneuver where they’re just testing to see how we react, it could be something military, or it could be where he parks people on the border,” a former senior Trump administration official told Foreign Policy. “They need to lay out publicly what the policy is. Further Russian incursions are not acceptable.”

The Crimea annexation in 2014 also started with a major snap military exercise along Russia’s western border with Ukraine, before masked men later poured into the Black Sea territory and overtook it.

Longtime observers of the conflict are skeptical that Russia is planning a renewed invasion of Ukraine, but they did not rule out the possibility entirely. “The thing about Vladimir Putin is that when we are thinking about what he is going to do, we are trying to think that it’s going to be something rational,” said Kirill Mikhailov, a researcher with the Conflict Intelligence Team, which tracks Russian military involvement in Ukraine. “He may have an entirely different view of the world, given that the information that he is getting is presumed to be highly curated.”

The Russian military analyst Pavel Felgenhauer characterized this alternate worldview in comments to the BBC last month: “In the understanding of the Russian military, the West is waging hybrid war against Russia on many fronts: in Belarus, in Ukraine, with respect to Alexey Navalny,” he said.

Robert Lee, an expert on the Russian military and a Ph.D. candidate at King’s College London, said the moves were most likely intended to deter Ukraine from any future offensives in the region. “Russia is showing that they retain escalation dominance,” he said.

Zelensky has made a number of moves against Russian proxies in Ukraine, which some observers said may have factored into Moscow’s calculus. In February, the Ukrainian oligarch Viktor Medvedchuk, a close Putin ally, was sanctioned by Kyiv, and three TV channels controlled by the magnate were shut down.

“It’s not about Medvedchuk as an individual,” said Michael Carpenter, who served as U.S. deputy assistant secretary of defense for Russia, Ukraine, and Eurasia during the Obama administration. “One of the main reasons why the Kremlin keeps these protracted conflicts percolating over time is precisely so that when its other levers of influence, whether they be oligarchs or corrupt politicians among neighboring countries, when they don’t deliver, they always have the option of turning up the heat on the conflict in order to gain influence in that way.”

Former U.S. officials also pointed to Putin’s desire to pressure Germany on multiple fronts, including the controversial construction of the undersea Nord Stream 2 natural gas pipeline that would bypass Ukraine and the Berlin-led Trilateral Contact Group that is tasked with ongoing cease-fire negotiations in eastern Ukraine.

But through Friday, the Ukrainian military continued going through its regular high-readiness training cycles, according to a source familiar with the preparations. Most assessments from the ground indicate that the Russians are conducting strategic posturing, but do not discount a sudden land grab, the source said. Ukraine could also move forward heavy equipment positioned in the west that is aimed at halting a Russian advance, including U.S.-made Javelin anti-tank missiles, which can rapidly be moved to the front lines under rules approved last year.

“The problem with the Russians is everything for them is a red line, and they bluster on everything, and when their position starts to collapse, they’ll backpedal,” a former senior U.S. defense official said. “The Ukrainians understand that better than anyone.”

The buildup comes amid a host of other escalatory activities by Moscow. “They have really brought out a continental-wide saber-rattling event,” said Ben Hodges, who was commanding general of U.S. Army Europe until 2017. Last Friday, the Russian defense ministry published a video of three Russian submarines punching up through ice in the Arctic, a difficult maneuver that Hodges said was a demonstration of capability in a region that has been subject to increasing military competition.

On Monday, NATO reported an “unusual peak” in Russian flights near the fringes of the alliance, with 10 flights being intercepted by NATO planes within a six-hour window. These events, combined with the buildup along the border with Ukraine, are “obviously not a coincidence,” Hodges said.

The tensions come as West-Russia relations have “hit the bottom,” according to Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov. Moscow recalled its ambassador to Washington, Anatoly Antonov, after Biden agreed to a comment that Putin was a “killer” in a recent interview.

But the Biden administration intends to keep its diplomatic channel open to Moscow despite the spike in bilateral tensions. A State Department spokesperson told Foreign Policy that there are “no plans” to recall the U.S. ambassador to Moscow, John Sullivan, to Washington in response to Russia’s decision.

“We remain committed to open channels of communication with the Russian government, both to advance U.S. interests and reduce the risk of miscalculation between our countries,” the spokesperson said.

Even as tensions have increased in the last few days, former U.S. officials said Kyiv remains wary of escalating any conflict, potentially taking the bait from Moscow and allowing Russia-backed forces to further consolidate their gains in the east. Instead, Zelensky is likely to lean on the West, the person said.

“The Ukrainians are better off with a stalemate than escalating and getting their clock cleaned,” the former senior U.S. defense official said. “[Their] best play in the Donbass is international pressure and to wait Putin out. Plinking a few tanks with Javelins isn’t going to do much,” the official said, referring to Ukraine’s U.S.-supplied anti-tank Javelin missiles.

A Canadian warship sailed through sensitive waters near China this week amid heightened tensions between the two countries.

The Department of National Defence says HMCS Calgary passed through the South China Sea while travelling from Brunei to Vietnam on Monday and Tuesday.

The passage did not go unnoticed by China, which shadowed the Canadian ship, according to a Defence official speaking on condition of anonymity.

China claims much of the sea as its territory and has been greatly expanding its military presence in the area. Many of those claims have been rejected by China's neighbours and several international rulings.

The Calgary's passage could aggravate tensions with Beijing, which has been engaged in a diplomatic dispute with Ottawa since Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou was arrested at the Vancouver airport in December 2018.

Beijing subsequently arrested two Canadians, Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor, in what the federal government and others have described as an act of retaliation in response to Meng's detention.

Meng is now facing possible extradition to the U.S. to face fraud allegations, while China has launched court proceedings against Kovrig and Spavor behind closed doors in recent weeks.

Department of National Defence spokesperson Daniel Le Bouthillier confirmed the Calgary passed near the disputed Spratly Islands — which both China and the Philippines claim and where the Chinese military has set up facilities and equipment.

Demonstrating support for allies

He said the South China Sea was the most practical route for the warship. Canadian officials have previously denied trying to send any message when warships have passed through waters claimed by China.

But documents obtained by The Canadian Press last year show such passages are often discussed at the highest levels of government before being approved.

One transit by HMCS Ottawa through the South China Sea's Taiwan Strait last year was described in the documents as having "demonstrated Canadian support for our closest partners and allies, regional security and the rules-based international order."

Defence officials were told to keep quiet about the Ottawa's trip in September 2019, three months after Chinese fighter jets buzzed two other Canadian ships making the same voyage.

Assessing Threats to U.S. Vital Interests

Russia

Russia remains a formidable ‌threat to the United States and its interests in Europe. From the Arctic to the Baltics, Ukraine, and the South Caucasus, and increasingly in the Mediterranean, Russia continues to foment instability in Europe. Despite economic problems, Russia continues to prioritize the rebuilding of its military and funding for its military operations abroad. Russia remains antagonistic to the United States both militarily and politically, and its efforts to undermine U.S. institutions and the NATO alliance continue without letup. In Europe, Russia uses its energy position, along with espionage, cyberattacks, and information warfare, to exploit vulnerabilities with the goal of dividing the transatlantic alliance and undermining faith in government and societal institutions.

Overall, Russia possesses significant conventional and nuclear capabilities and remains the principal threat to European security. Its aggressive stance in a number of theaters, including the Balkans, Georgia, Syria, and Ukraine, continues both to encourage destabilization and to threaten U.S. interests.

Military Capabilities. According to the International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS):

Among the key weapons in Russia’s inventory are 336 intercontinental ballistic missiles, 2,840 main battle tanks, 5,220 armored infantry fighting vehicles, more than 6,100 armored personnel carriers, and more than 4,684 pieces of artillery.
The navy has one aircraft carrier; 49 submarines (including 11 ballistic missile submarines); four cruisers; 11 destroyers; 15 frigates; and 125 patrol and coastal combatants.
The air force has 1,160 combat-capable aircraft.
The army has 280,000 soldiers.
There is a total reserve force of 2,000,000 for all armed forces.1

In addition, Russian deep-sea research vessels include converted ballistic missile submarines, which hold smaller auxiliary submarines that can operate on the ocean floor.2

To avoid political blowback from military deaths abroad, Russia has increasingly deployed paid private volunteer troops trained at Special Forces bases and often under the command of Russian Special Forces. It has used such volunteers in Libya, Syria, and Ukraine because they help the Kremlin “keep costs low and maintain a degree of deniability,” and “[a]ny personnel losses could be shrouded from unauthorized disclosure.”3

In February 2018, for example, at Deir al-Zour in eastern Syria, 500 pro-Assad forces and Russian mercenaries armed with Russian tanks, artillery, and mortars attacked U.S.-supported Kurdish forces.4

Approximately 30 U.S. Rangers and Delta Force special operators were also at the base.5 U.S. air strikes helped to repulse the attack, and “three sources familiar with the matter” estimated that approximately 300 Russian mercenaries were either killed or wounded.6 Moscow claims, however, that since the launch of its Syria operation, only 112 Russian troops have suffered casualties.7

In January 2019, reports surfaced that 400 Russian mercenaries from the Wagner Group were in Venezuela to bolster the regime of Nicolás Maduro.8

Russian propaganda in Venezuela has supported the regime and stoked fears of American imperialism. In February 2020, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov visited Venezuela to “counteract U.S. sanctions” and show support for Maduro.9

During the past few years, as the crisis has metastasized and protests against the Maduro regime have grown, Russia has begun to deploy troops and supplies to bolster Maduro’s security forces.10

In December 2018, for example, Russia temporarily deployed two Tu-160 nuclear-capable bombers to Caracas.11 Russia also exports billions in arms to Venezuela (and has loaned the regime money to purchase Russian arms) along with $70 million–$80 million yearly in nonmilitary goods.12

In July 2016, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a law creating a National Guard with a total strength (both civilian and military) of 340,000, controlled directly by him.13

He created his National Guard, which is responsible for “enforcing emergency-situation regimes, combating terrorism, defending Russian territory, and protecting state facilities and assets,” by amalgamating “interior troops and various law-enforcement agencies.”14 Putin is more likely to use this force domestically to stifle dissent than he is to deploy it abroad.15 However, in November 2020, the Russian National Guard (Rosgvardia) and the Belarusian Ministry of the Interior signed an official cooperation deal specifying that either side “may carry out law-enforcement-type operations on the other’s territory.”16

This deal likely directly resulted from the Belarusian protests that broke out in August 2020 following the fraudulent presidential election.

At first, the COVID-19 pandemic severely affected Russia’s economic growth.17

However, the Russian economy rebounded during the latter part of the pandemic and is expected to record growth in 2021.18

Because of the economic boost following the coronavirus lockdowns, Russia will likely find it easier to fund its military operations.

In 2020, Russia spent $61.7 billion on its military—5.23 percent less than it spent in 2019—but still remained one of the world’s top five nations in terms of defense spending.19

Much of Russia’s military expenditure is directed toward modernization of its armed forces. According to a July 2020 Congressional Research Service report, “Russia has undertaken extensive efforts to modernize and upgrade its armed forces” since its invasion of Georgia in 2008.20

From 2010 to 2019 (the most recent year for which data are publicly available), close to 40 percent of Russia’s total military spending was on arms procurement.21 Taking into account total military expenditure, Russia spent more than 4 percent of GDP on defense in 2020.22

In early 2018, Russia introduced its new State Armament Program 2018–2027, a $306 billion investment in new equipment and force modernization. However, according to the Royal Institute of International Affairs, “as inflation has eroded the value of the rouble since 2011, the new programme is less ambitious than its predecessor in real terms.”23

Russia has prioritized modernization of its nuclear capabilities and “claims to be 81 percent of the way through a modernization program to replace all Soviet-era missiles with newer types by the early 2020s on a less-than one-for-one basis.”24

Russia plans to deploy the RS-28 (Satan 2) ICBM by 2022 as a replacement for the RS-36, which is being phased out in the 2020s.25 The missile, which can carry up to 15 warheads,26 was to undergo test launches in 2019, but the tests were delayed. To complete the tests, “Russia will first need to upgrade the testing site,” which Russian Minister of Defense Sergei Shoigu admitted in December 2020 had yet to be built.27

The armed forces also continue to undergo process modernization, which was begun by Defense Minister Anatoly Serdyukov in 2008.28

Partially because of this modernization, former U.S. Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Strategy and Force Development Elbridge Colby stated in January 2018 that the U.S. military advantage over Russia is eroding.29

In April 2020, the Kremlin stated that it had begun state trials for its T-14 Armata main battle tank in Syria.30

In March 2021, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu revealed that the Russian military would receive a pilot batch of the T-14 Armata tanks in 2022.31 Aside from the T-14 Armata, 10 new-build T-90M main battle tanks, contracted in 2017, were delivered to the 2nd Motor-Rifle Division in the Moscow region in 2020.32

Russia’s fifth-generation Su-27 fighter fell short of expectations, particularly with regard to stealth capabilities. In May 2018, the government cancelled mass production of the Su-27 because of its high costs and limited capability advantages over upgraded fourth-generation fighters.33

Russia lost one of its Su-27 jets near the Crimean coast during a planned mission in March 2020.34

In October 2018, Russia’s sole aircraft carrier, the Admiral Kuznetsov, was severely damaged when a dry dock sank and a crane fell, puncturing the deck and hull.35

In December 2019, the carrier caught on fire during repair work.36 Despite these setbacks, the Kuznetsov is scheduled to begin sea trials in 2022.37 In May 2019, reports surfaced that Russia is seeking to begin construction of a new nuclear-powered aircraft carrier in 2023 for delivery in the late 2030s, but the procurement’s financial and technological feasibility remains questionable.38

Following years of delays, the Admiral Gorshkov stealth guided missile frigate was commissioned in July 2018. The second Admiral Gorshkov–class frigate, the Admiral Kasatonov,began sea trials in April 2019, but according to some analysts, tight budgets and the inability to procure parts from Ukrainian industry (importantly, gas turbine engines) make it difficult for Russia to build the two additional Admiral Gorshkov–class frigates as planned.39

Nevertheless, on April 23, 2019, keel-laying ceremonies took place for the fifth and sixth Admiral Gorshkov–class frigates, which reportedly will join Russia’s Black Sea fleet.40

Russia plans to procure eight Lider-class guided missile destroyers for its Northern and Pacific Fleets, but procurement has faced consistent delay.41

As of April 2020, Russia’s Severnoye Design Bureau halted development of the frigates because of financial setbacks.42

In November 2018, Russia sold three Admiral Grigorovich–class frigates to India. It is set to deliver at least two of the frigates to India by 2024.43

The ships had been intended for the Black Sea Fleet, but Russia found itself unable to produce a replacement engine following Ukraine sanctions. Of the planned 14 frigates, Russia had engines for only two,44 but in January 2021, India procured gas turbine engines from Ukraine to give to Russia to install on the frigates.45

Russia’s naval modernization continues to prioritize submarines. In June 2020, the first Project 955A Borei-A ballistic-missile submarine, the Knyaz Vladimir, was delivered to the Russian Northern Fleet, an addition to the three original Project 955 Boreis.46

Russia reportedly will construct at least 10 more Borei-A–class submarines.47 According to Admiral Phil Davidson, head of U.S. Indo-Pacific Command, it was expected that “the Russian Pacific Fleet [would] add its first Kalibr cruise missile-capable ships and submarines to its inventory in 2021.”48 In August 2021, the missile corvette Sovetsk, part of Russia’s Baltic Fleet, test-launched a Kalibr cruise missile from the White Sea.49

The Khaski-class submarines are planned fifth-generation stealth nuclear-powered submarines. They are slated to begin construction in 2023 and to be armed with Zircon hypersonic missiles, which have a reported speed of from Mach 5 to Mach 6.50

According to a Russian vice admiral, these submarines will be two times quieter than current subs.51

Russia also continues to upgrade its diesel electric Kilo-class subs.52

Reportedly, it inducted the first improved Project 636 Kilo-class submarine into its Pacific Fleet in November 2019 and is now focused on delivering six Project 636 improved Kilo-class subs to the Pacific Fleet.53 According to one assessment, the submarines’ improvement in noise reduction has caused them to be nicknamed “Black Holes,” but “the submarine class lacks a functioning air-independent propulsion system, which reduced the boats’ overall stealth capabilities.”54

Transport remains a nagging problem, and Russia’s defense minister has stressed the paucity of transport vessels. According to a RAND report:

In 1992, just after the collapse of the Soviet Union, the Russian Federation military had more than 500 transport aircraft of all types, which were capable of lifting 29,630 metric tons. By 2017, there were just over 100 available transport aircraft in the inventory, capable of lifting 6,240 metric tons, or approximately one-fifth of the 1992 capacity.55
undefinedundefined

In 2017, Russia reportedly needed to purchase civilian cargo vessels and use icebreakers to transport troops and equipment to Syria at the beginning of major operations in support of the Assad regime.56

Although budget shortfalls have hampered modernization efforts overall, Russia continues to focus on development of such high-end systems as the S-500 surface-to-air missile system. As of March 2021, the Russian Ministry of Defense was considering the most fitting ways to introduce its new S-500 Prometheus surface-to-air missile system, which is able to detect targets at up to 1,200 miles, with its missile range maxing at approximately 250 miles, “as part of its wider air-defense modernization.” According to one report, the S-500 system will enter full service by 2025.57

Russia’s counterspace and countersatellite capabilities are formidable. A Defense Intelligence Agency report released in February 2019 summarized Russian capabilities:

[O]ver the last two decades, Moscow has been developing a suite of counterspace weapons capabilities, including EW [electronic warfare] to deny, degrade, and disrupt communications and navigation and DEW [directed energy weapons] to deny the use of space-based imagery. Russia is probably also building a ground-based missile capable of destroying satellites in orbit.58
undefinedundefined

In December 2020, Russia tested a ballistic, anti-satellite missile built to target imagery and communications satellites in low Earth orbit.59

According to Colonel Andrei Revenok, Chief of the Space Troops’ Main Center for Missile Attack Warning within Russia’s Aerospace Force, in February 2021, the latest Voronezh radars will replace all of the existing airspace control systems.60

Military Exercises. Russian military exercises, especially snap exercises, are a source of serious concern because they have masked real military operations in the past. Their purpose is twofold: to project strength and to improve command and control. According to Air Force General Tod D. Wolters, Commander, U.S. European Command (EUCOM):

Russia employs a below-the-threshold of armed conflict strategy via proxies and intermediary forces in an attempt to weaken, divide, and intimidate our Allies and partners using a range of covert, difficult-to-attribute, and malign actions. These actions include information and cyber operations, election meddling, political subversion, economic intimidation, military sales, exercises, and the calculated use of force.61
undefinedundefined

Exercises in the Baltic Sea in April 2018, a day after the leaders of the three Baltic nations met with President Donald Trump in Washington, were meant as a message. Russia stated twice in April that it planned to conduct three days of live-fire exercises in Latvia’s Exclusive Economic Zone, forcing a rerouting of commercial aviation as Latvia closed some of its airspace.62

Sweden issued warnings to commercial aviation and sea traffic.63 It turned out that Russia did not actually fire any live missiles, and the Latvian Ministry of Defense described the event as “a show of force, nothing else.”64 The exercises took place near the Karlskrona Naval Base, the Swedish navy’s largest base.65

Russia’s snap exercises are conducted with little or no warning and often involve thousands of troops and pieces of equipment.66

In April 2021, for example, between 150,000 and 300,000 Russian troops massed at the Ukrainian border and in Crimea to conduct snap exercises that also involved approximately 35,000 combat vehicles, 900 aircraft, and 190 navy ships.67 The reintroduction of snap exercises has “significantly improved the Russian Armed Forces’ warfighting and power-projection capabilities,” according to one account. “These, in turn, support and enable Russia’s strategic destabilisation campaign against the West, with military force always casting a shadow of intimidation over Russia’s sub-kinetic aggression.”68

Snap exercises have been used for military campaigns as well. According to General Curtis M. Scaparrotti, former EUCOM Commander and NATO Supreme Allied Commander Europe, for example, “the annexation of Crimea took place in connection with a snap exercise by Russia.”69

Such exercises also provide Russian leadership with a hedge against unpreparedness or corruption. “In addition to affording combat-training benefits,” the IISS reports, “snap inspections appear to be of increasing importance as a measure against corruption or deception.”70

Russia conducted its VOSTOK (“East”) strategic exercises, held primarily in the Eastern Military District, mainly in August and September of 2018 and purportedly with 300,000 troops, 1,000 aircraft, and 900 tanks taking part.71

Russia’s defense minister claimed that the exercises were the largest to have taken place in Russia since 1981; however, some analysis suggests that the actual number of participating combat troops was in the range of 75,000–100,000.72

One analyst described the extent of the exercise:

[T]he breadth of the exercise was impressive. It uniquely involved several major military districts, as troops from the Central Military District and the Northern Fleet confronted the Eastern Military District and the Pacific Fleet. After establishing communication links and organizing forces, live firing between September 13–17 [sic] included air strikes, air defence operations, ground manoeuvres and raids, sea assault and landings, coastal defence, and electronic warfare.73
undefinedundefined

Chinese and Mongolian forces also took part, with China sending 3,200 soldiers from the People’s Liberation Army along with numerous pieces of equipment.74

Chinese participation was a significant change from past iterations of VOSTOK, although Chinese forces were likely restricted largely to the Tsugol training ground, and an uninvited Chinese intelligence ship shadowed the Russian Navy’s sea exercises.75

Threats to the Homeland

Russia is the only state adversary in the Europe region that possesses the capability to threaten the U.S. homeland with both conventional and nonconventional means. Although there is no indication that Russia plans to use its capabilities against the United States absent a broader conflict involving America’s NATO allies, the plausible potential for such a scenario serves to sustain the strategic importance of those capabilities.

Russia’s 2021 National Security Strategy describes NATO as a threat to the national security of the Russian Federation:

Military dangers and military threats to the Russian Federation are intensified by attempts to exert military pressure on Russia, its allies and partners, the buildup of the military infrastructure of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization near Russian borders, the intensification of reconnaissance activities, the development of the use of large military formations and nuclear weapons against the Russian Federation.76
undefinedundefined

The same document also clearly states that Russia will use every means at its disposal to achieve its strategic goals:

[P]articular attention is paid to…improving the system of military planning in the Russian Federation, developing and implementing interrelated political, military, military-technical, diplomatic, economic, information and other measures aimed at preventing the use of military force against Russia and protecting its sovereignty and territorial integrity.77
undefinedundefined

Strategic Nuclear Threat. Russia possesses the largest arsenal of nuclear weapons (including short-range nuclear weapons) among the nuclear powers. It is one of the few nations with the capability to destroy many targets in the U.S. homeland and in U.S.-allied nations as well as the capability to threaten and prevent free access to the commons by other nations.

Russia has both intercontinental-range and short-range ballistic missiles and a varied arsenal of nuclear weapons that can be delivered by sea, land, and air. It also is investing significant resources in modernizing its arsenal and maintaining the skills of its workforce, and modernization of the nuclear triad will remain a top priority under the new state armament program.78

An aging nuclear workforce could impede this modernization. “[A]lthough Russia’s strategic-defence enterprises appear to have preserved some of their expertise,” according to the IISS, “problems remain, for example, in transferring the necessary skill sets and experience to the younger generation of engineers.”79 Nevertheless, Putin revealed in December 2020 “that modern weapons and equipment now make up 86 percent of Russia’s nuclear triad.”80

Russia currently relies on its nuclear arsenal to ensure its invincibility against any enemy, intimidate European powers, and deter counters to its predatory behavior in its “near abroad,” primarily in Ukraine but also concerning the Baltic States.81

This arsenal serves both as a deterrent to large-scale attack and as a protective umbrella under which Russia can modernize its conventional forces at a deliberate pace, but Russia also needs a modern and flexible military to fight local wars such as those against Georgia in 2008 and the ongoing war against Ukraine that began in 2014.

Under Russian military doctrine, the use of nuclear weapons in conventional local and regional wars is seen as de-escalatory because it would cause an enemy to concede defeat. In May 2017, for example, a Russian parliamentarian threatened that nuclear weapons might be used if the U.S. or NATO were to move to retake Crimea or defend eastern Ukraine.82

General Wolters discussed the risks presented by Russia’s possible use of tactical nuclear weapons in his 2020 EUCOM posture statement:

Russia’s vast non-strategic nuclear weapons stockpile and apparent misperception they could gain advantage in crisis or conflict through its use is concerning. Russia continues to engage in disruptive behavior despite widespread international disapproval and continued economic sanctions, and continues to challenge the rules-based international order and violate its obligations under international agreements. The Kremlin employs coercion and aggressive actions amid growing signs of domestic unrest. These actions suggest Russian leadership may feel compelled to take greater risks to maintain power, counter Western influence, and seize opportunities to demonstrate a perception of great power status.83
undefinedundefined

Russia has two strategies for nuclear deterrence. The first is based on a threat of massive launch-on-warning and retaliatory strikes to deter a nuclear attack; the second is based on a threat of limited demonstration and “de-escalation” nuclear strikes to deter or terminate a large-scale conventional war.84

Russia’s reliance on nuclear weapons is based partly on their small cost relative to the cost of conventional weapons, especially in terms of their effect, and on Russia’s inability to attract sufficient numbers of high-quality servicemembers. In other words, Russia sees its nuclear weapons as a way to offset the lower quantity and quality of its conventional forces.

Moscow has repeatedly threatened U.S. allies in Europe with nuclear deployments and even preemptive nuclear strikes.85

The Russians justify their aggressive behavior by pointing to deployments of U.S. missile defense systems in Europe. In the past, these systems were not scaled or postured to mitigate Russia’s advantage in ballistic missiles and nuclear weapons to any significant degree, but Pentagon officials have revealed that laser-armed Strykers, new Eastern European batteries, and sea-based interceptors are set to arrive by 2023.86

Russia continues to violate the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty, which bans the testing, production, and possession of intermediate-range missiles.87

Russia first violated the treaty in 2008 and then systematically escalated its violations, moving from testing to producing to deploying the prohibited missile into the field. Russia fully deployed the SSC-X-8 cruise missile in violation of the INF Treaty early in 2017 and has deployed battalions with the missile at a missile test site, Kapustin Yar, in southern Russia; at Kamyshlov, near the border with Kazakhstan; in Shuya, east of Moscow; and in Mozdok, in occupied North Ossetia.88 U.S. officials consider the banned cruise missiles to be fully operational.89

In December 2018, in response to Russian violations, the U.S. declared Russia to be in material breach of the INF Treaty, a position with which NATO allies were in agreement.90

The U.S. provided its six-month notice of withdrawal from the INF treaty on February 2, 2019, and officially withdrew from the treaty on August 2.91

The sizable Russian nuclear arsenal remains the only threat to the existence of the U.S. homeland emanating from Europe and Eurasia. While the potential for use of this arsenal remains low, the fact that Russia continues to threaten Europe with nuclear attack demonstrates that it will continue to play a central strategic role in shaping both Moscow’s military and political thinking and the level of Russia’s aggressive behavior beyond its borders.

Threat of Regional War

Many U.S. allies regard Russia as a genuine threat. At times, this threat is of a military nature. At other times, it involves less conventional tactics such as cyberattacks, utilization of energy resources, and propaganda. Today, as in Imperial times, Russia uses both the pen and the sword to exert its influence. Organizations like the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) and the Eurasian Economic Union (EEU), for example, embody Russia’s attempt to bind regional capitals to Moscow through a series of agreements and treaties.

Russia also uses espionage in ways that are damaging to U.S. interests. For example:

In May 2016, a Russian spy was sentenced to prison for gathering intelligence for Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) while working as a banker in New York. The spy specifically transmitted intelligence on “potential U.S. sanctions against Russian banks and the United States’ efforts to develop alternative energy resources.”92
undefinedundefined

The European External Action Service, diplomatic service of the European Union (EU), estimates that 200 Russian spies are operating in Brussels, which also is the headquarters of NATO.94

According to one report, Russian spies are becoming harder to track because they infiltrate companies, schools, and even the government.95

On March 4, 2018, Sergei Skripal, a former Russian GRU colonel who was convicted in 2006 of selling secrets to the United Kingdom and freed in a spy swap between the U.S. and Russia in 2010, and his daughter Yulia were poisoned with Novichok nerve agent by Russian security services in Salisbury, U.K. Hundreds of residents could have been contaminated, including a police officer who was exposed to the nerve agent after responding.96

It took a year and the work of 190 U.K. Army and Air Force personnel plus contractors to complete the physical cleanup of Salisbury.97

On March 15, 2018, France, Germany, the U.K., and the U.S. issued a joint statement condemning Russia’s use of the nerve agent: “This use of a military-grade nerve agent, of a type developed by Russia, constitutes the first offensive use of a nerve agent in Europe since the Second World War.”98

U.S. intelligence officials have reportedly linked Russia to the deaths of 14 people in the U.K. alone, many of them Russians who ran afoul of the Kremlin.99

Russian intelligence operatives are reportedly mapping U.S. telecommunications infrastructure around the United States, focusing especially on fiber-optic cables.100

In March 2017, the U.S. charged four people, including two Russian intelligence officials, with directing hacks of user data involving Yahoo and Google accounts.101

Russia has also used its relations with friendly nations—especially Nicaragua—for espionage purposes. In April 2017, Nicaragua began using a Russian-provided satellite station at Managua that, even though the Nicaraguan government denies it is intended for spying, is of concern to the U.S.104

In November 2017, the Russian-built “counter-drug” center at Las Colinas opened, its future purpose being to support “Russian security engagement with the entire region.”105 According to a Foreign Policy Research Institute report, “Aside from the center, Russian forces have participated in joint raids and operations against drug trafficking [in Nicaragua], capturing as many as 41 presumed traffickers in one particular operation” since 2017.106 Russia also has an agreement with Nicaragua, signed in 2015, that allows access to Nicaraguan ports for its naval vessels.107

Pressure on Central and Eastern Europe. Moscow poses a security challenge to members of NATO that border Russia. Although a conventional Russian attack against a NATO member is unlikely, primarily because it would trigger a NATO response, it cannot be entirely discounted. Russia continues to use cyberattacks, espionage, its significant share of the European energy market, and propaganda to sow discord among NATO member states and undermine the alliance. The Estonian Foreign Intelligence Service’s International Security and Estonia 2019 report states clearly that “[t]he only serious threat to regional security, including the existence and sovereignty of Estonia and other Baltic Sea states, emanates from Russia. It involves not only asymmetrical, covert or political subversion, but also a potential military threat.”108

After decades of Russian domination, the countries of Central and Eastern Europe factor Russia into their military planning and foreign policy formulation in a way that is simply unimaginable in many Western European countries and North America. Estonia and Latvia have sizable ethnic Russian populations, and there is concern that Russia might exploit this as a pretext for aggression—a view that is not without merit in view of Moscow’s irredentist rhetoric and Russia’s use of this technique to annex Crimea.

According to Lithuania’s National Threat Assessment 2021, “It is almost certain that Russia’s policy of denying the sovereign choices of its neighbours will remain one of the most significant security threats in the Baltic Region in the future.”109

Its National Threat Assessment 2019 states that Russia “exploits democratic freedoms and rights for its subversive activity” and “actually promotes its aggressive foreign policy” while “pretending to develop cultural relations” in Lithuania.110

Latvian authorities describe the means used by Russia to claim that it is defending the rights of citizens or Russian compatriots in similar terms: TV propaganda to push discrediting messages about Latvia and stories in which the rights of Russian citizens are allegedly violated; “spreading interpretations of history favourable to Russia within Russia and abroad, as well as actively engaging in military-memorial work”; and the use of “compatriot support funds and other compatriot policy bodies” targeted at Latvian youth.111

Russia has also sought to undermine the statehood and legitimacy of the Baltic States. In January 2018, for example, Putin signed a decree renaming an air force regiment the “Tallinn Regiment” to “preserve holy historical military traditions” and “raise [the] spirit of military obligation.”112

General Scaparrotti testified in March 2017 that Russian propaganda and disinformation should be viewed as an extension of Russia’s military capabilities: “The Russians see this as part of that spectrum of warfare, it’s their asymmetric approach.”113

In 2020, Russia used the COVID-19 pandemic to spread disinformation. In March, for example, various Russian state news sources reported that the U.S. initiated the coronavirus pandemic, that the U.S. deployed the virus as a “biological weapon,” or that the virus was a complete hoax created by the United States. Nor did Russia create this disinformation on its own; it relied on various theories created by China and Iran.114

In addition, Russia has sought to use disinformation to undermine NATO’s Enhanced Forward Presence (eFP) in the Baltics. In April 2017, for example, Russian hackers planted a false story about U.S. troops being poisoned by mustard gas in Latvia on the Baltic News Service website.115

Since 2017, a disinformation campaign nicknamed “ghostwriter” has been ongoing. In some cases, Russian hackers published false news stories “on real news websites without permission.” In one case, a Lithuanian news site published a fake article in 2019 “claiming that German soldiers had desecrated a Jewish cemetery,” and in another, a fake message was published on the Polish War Studies Academy website, purportedly from the organization’s commander, calling for troops “to fight against ‘the American occupation.’”116

U.S. troops stationed in Poland for NATO’s eFP have been the target of similar Russian disinformation campaigns.117

A fabricated interview with U.S. Army Europe commander Lieutenant General Christopher Cavoli that was published online was meant to undermine NATO’s reputation among the public.118 One report summarized that “Russia’s state propaganda channels RT and Sputnik remain very keen to exploit to the maximum any incidents involving eFP personnel, and to repeat the Kremlin’s anti-NATO and anti-eFP narrative.”119 In particular, more recent Russian propaganda has focused on portraying eFP as an “occupying force.”120

Russia has also demonstrated a willingness to use military force to change the borders of modern Europe. When Kremlin-backed Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych failed to sign an Association Agreement with the EU in 2013, months of street demonstrations led to his ouster early in 2014. Russia responded by sending troops, aided by pro-Russian local militia, to occupy the Crimean Peninsula under the pretext of “protecting Russian people.” This led to Russia’s eventual annexation of Crimea, the first such forcible annexation of territory in Europe since the Second World War.121

Russia’s annexation of Crimea has effectively cut Ukraine’s coastline in half, and Russia has claimed rights to underwater resources off the Crimean Peninsula.122

In May 2018, Russia inaugurated the first portion of a $7.5 billion, 11.8-mile bridge connecting Russia with Kerch in occupied Crimea. The project will be fully completed in 2023.123 The effect on Ukraine’s regional economic interests can be seen in the fact that 30 percent of the cargo ships that served Mariupol could not clear the span.124 In December 2019, Russia completed a new rail bridge over the Kerch Strait that the EU condemned as “yet another step toward a forced integration of the illegally annexed peninsula.”125

Russia has deployed 28,000 troops to Crimea and has embarked on a major program to build housing, restore airfields, and install new radars there.126

The Monolit-B radar system, for instance, has a passive range of 450 kilometers, and its deployment “provides the Russian military with an excellent real-time picture of the positions of foreign surface vessels operating in the Black Sea.”127 In addition, “Russian equipment there includes 40 main battle tanks, 680 armored personnel carriers and 174 artillery systems of various kinds” along with 113 combat aircraft.128

These numbers may be larger now, given Russia’s military buildup in Ukraine in April 2021.129

In March 2019, Russia announced the deployment of nuclear-capable Tupolev Tu-22M3 strategic bombers to Gvardeyskoye air base in occupied Crimea.130

Control of Crimea has allowed Russia to use the Black Sea as a platform to launch and support naval operations in the Eastern Mediterranean.131

The Black Sea fleet has received six Kilo diesel submarines and three Admiral Grigorovich–class frigates equipped with Kalibr-NK long-range cruise missiles.132 Russia is also planning to add Gorshkov-class frigates to its Black Sea fleet.133 Kalibrs have a range of at least 2,500 kilometers, placing cities from Rome to Vilnius within range of Black Sea–based cruise missiles.134

Russia has deployed five S-400 air defense systems with a potential range of around 250 miles to Crimea.135

Russia’s new S-350 air defense systems also have the potential to be deployed to Crimea.136 In addition, “local capabilities have been strengthened by the Pantsir-S1 (SA-22 Greyhound) short-to-medium-range surface-to-air missile (SAM) and anti-aircraft artillery weapons system, which particularly complements the S-400.”137 Russia also deploys the Bastion P coastal defenses armed with the P-800 Oniks anti-ship cruise missile, which “has a range of up to 300 kilometers and travels at nearly Mach 2.5, making it extraordinarily difficult to defeat with kinetic means.”138

In eastern Ukraine, Russia has helped to foment and sustain a separatist movement. Backed, armed, and trained by Russia, separatist leaders in eastern Ukraine have declared the so-called Lugansk People’s Republic and Donetsk People’s Republic. Moscow has backed separatist factions in the Donbas region of eastern Ukraine with advanced weapons, technical and financial assistance, and Russian conventional and special operations forces. Approximately 3,000 Russian soldiers are operating in the Donbas region of Ukraine.139

Russian-backed separatists daily violate the September 2014 Minsk I and February 2015 Minsk II cease-fire agreements.140 These agreements have led to the de facto partition of Ukraine and have created a frozen conflict that remains both deadly and advantageous for Russia. As of April 2021, the war in Ukraine had cost an estimated 14,000 lives.141

On November 25, 2018, Russian forces blocked the passage of three Ukrainian naval vessels through the Kerch Strait and opened fire on the ships before boarding and seizing them along with 24 Ukrainian sailors.142

In September 2019, Russia released the sailors in a prisoner swap with Ukraine.143 Russian harassment of ships sailing through the Kerch Strait and impeding of free movement had taken place consistently before the November 2018 aggression and continued afterwards.144 Russian inspections of ships, blockages of the strait, and delays have coalesced to constrict the port of Mariupol, where shipping traffic has been greatly reduced since 2014.145

In Moldova, Russia supports the breakaway enclave of Transnistria, where yet another frozen conflict festers to Moscow’s liking. According to a Congressional Research Service report:

Russia stations approximately 1,500 soldiers in Transnistria, a few hundred of which Moldova accepts as peacekeepers. In 2017, the Constitutional Court ruled that Russia’s troop presence in Moldova was unconstitutional, and parliament adopted a declaration calling on Russia to withdraw. In 2018, the U.N. General Assembly passed a resolution calling on Russia to withdraw its troops from Moldova “unconditionally and without further delay.”

A political settlement to the Transnistrian conflict appears distant. The Moldovan government supports a special local governance status for Transnistria, but Russia and authorities in Transnistria have resisted agreement.

The conflict-resolution process operates in a “5+2” format under the chairmanship of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE), with the OSCE, Russia, and Ukraine as mediators and the EU and the United States as observers. The EU also supports conflict management through a Border Assistance Mission to Moldova and Ukraine (EUBAM). EUBAM seeks to help the two countries combat transborder crime, facilitate trade, and resolve the conflict over Transnistria, which shares a long border with Ukraine.146

Russia continues to occupy 12 percent of Moldova’s territory. In August 2018, Russian and separatist forces equipped with armored personnel carriers and armored reconnaissance vehicles exercised crossing the Dniester River in the demilitarized security zone. Moldovan authorities called the exercises “provocative,” and the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) Mission to Moldova “expresse[d] its concern.”147

On January 22, 2019, in an effort to enhance its control of the breakaway region, Russia opened an office in Moscow for the Official Representation of the Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic in the Russian Federation.148

Russia’s permanent stationing of Iskander missiles in Kaliningrad in 2018 occurred a year to the day after NATO’s eFP deployed to Lithuania.149

Russia reportedly has deployed tactical nuclear weapons, the S-400 air defense system, and P-800 anti-ship cruise missiles to Kaliningrad.150 Additionally, it plans to reestablish a tank brigade and a “fighter aviation regiment and naval assault aviation (bomber) regiment” in Kaliningrad and to reequip the artillery brigade with new systems.151 According to the IISS, the majority of Russian air force pilot graduates this past year were sent to Kaliningrad “to improve staffing” in the air force units located there.152

Russia also has outfitted a missile brigade in Luga, Russia, a mere 74 miles from the Estonian city of Narva, with Iskander missiles.153

Iskanders have been deployed to the Southern Military District at Mozdok near Georgia and Krasnodar near Ukraine as well, and Russian military officials have reportedly asked manufacturers to increase the Iskander missiles’ range and improve their accuracy.154

Nor is Russia deploying missiles only in Europe. In February 2018, Russia approved the deployment of warplanes to an airport on Iturup, one of the largest Kuril Islands.155

In September 2019, Russia announced its plans to deploy additional missile systems on Paramushir and Matua, two islands in the northern portion of the Kuril Island chain.156 In December 2020, Russia announced the deployment of S-300V4 air defense missile systems on Iturup.157 Russia has stationed 3,500 troops on the Kuril Islands. In December 2018, Japan lodged a formal complaint over the building of four new barracks.158

Russia has deployed additional troops and capabilities near its western borders. In May 2021, Russia announced plans to increase its troop presence along its western border “in response to what it views as an increasing threat from the United States and the NATO alliance.”159

In June 2020, one report revealed that the brigade in the Western Military District is relatively well-equipped with “modern weapons and specialist equipment, including ‘T-90A tanks, BTR-82A armored personnel carriers, BMP-3 combat vehicles, as well as 9A34 Strela-10 and 2S6M Tunguska air defense systems.’”160

According to a report published by the Royal Institute of International Affairs:

Five dedicated storage and maintenance bases have been established in the Western Military District, and another one in the Southern Military District (and a further 15 in the Central and Eastern districts). These, similar to the US Army’s POMCUS (Prepositioning Of Materiel Configured in Unit Sets), contain pre-positioned, properly maintained brigade-level assets, and 2.5 units of fire for all equipments.161

Russia represents a real and potentially existential threat to NATO member countries in Eastern and Central Europe. Considering Russia’s aggression in Georgia and Ukraine, a conventional attack against a NATO member, while unlikely, cannot be ruled out entirely. In all likelihood, Russia will continue to use nonlinear means in an effort to pressure and undermine both these nations and the NATO alliance.

Militarization of the High North. Russia has a long history in the Arctic and, as an Arctic nation, has interests there. However, Russia’s ongoing militarization of the region, coupled with its bellicose behavior toward its neighbors, makes the Arctic a security concern.

Because nationalism is on the rise in Russia, Vladimir Putin’s Arctic strategy is popular among the population. For Putin, the Arctic is an area that allows Russia to flex its muscles without incurring any significant geopolitical risk.

Russia is also eager to promote its economic interests in the region. Half of the world’s Arctic territory and half of the Arctic region’s population are located in Russia. It is well known that the Arctic is home to large stockpiles of proven and yet unexploited oil and gas reserves. The majority of these reserves are thought to be located in Russia. In particular, Russia hopes that the Northern Sea Route (NSR) will become one of the world’s most important shipping lanes.

Russia has invested heavily in the Arctic region, opening a series of Arctic bases and investing in cold-weather equipment, coastal defense systems, underground storage facilities, and specialized training. Additionally, “Russian hardware in the High North area includes bombers and MiG31BM jets, and new radar systems close to the coast of Alaska.”162

Russia has also staged a series of statement activities in the Arctic. In 2007, Artur Chilingarov, then a member of the Russian Duma, led a submarine expedition to the North Pole and planted a Russian flag on the seabed. Later, he declared: “The Arctic is Russian.”163

In July 2017, Russia released a new naval doctrine citing the alleged “ambition of a range of states, and foremost the United States of America and its allies, to dominate the high seas, including in the Arctic, and to press for overwhelming superiority of their naval forces.”164

In May 2017, Russia announced that its build-up of the Northern Fleet’s nuclear capacity is intended “to phase ‘NATO out of [the] Arctic.’”165

A recent statement exercise occurred in March 2021, when three Russian ballistic missile submarines punched through the Arctic ice near the North Pole.166

In addition to an ongoing strong naval presence in the Arctic, Russia often undertakes aggressive Arctic flights. In one instance in March 2017, nine Russian bombers simulated an attack on the U.S.-funded, Norwegian-run radar installation at Vardø, Norway, above the Arctic Circle.167

In May 2017, 12 Russian aircraft simulated an attack against NATO naval forces taking part in the Eastern Atlantic Area (EASTLANT) 17 exercise near Tromsø, Norway, and later that month, Russian aircraft targeted aircraft from 12 nations that were taking part in the Arctic Challenge 2017 exercise near Bodø.168 In April 2018, Maritime Patrol aircraft from Russia’s Pacific Fleet for the first time exercised locating and bombing enemy submarines in the Arctic while fighter jets exercised repelling an air invasion in the Arctic region.169

Although the Arctic region has been an area of low conflict among the Arctic powers, NATO should consider the implications of Russia’s recent aggressive military behavior. NATO is a collective security organization designed to defend the territorial integrity of its members. Five NATO members (Canada, Denmark, Iceland, Norway, and the United States) are Arctic countries, and each has territory above the Arctic Circle. Two closely allied nations (Finland and Sweden) also have Arctic territory.

The U.S. in recent years has begun to pay increased attention to the Arctic theater in Europe. One way has been by maintaining an enhanced presence in Norway. In April 2021, the two nations signed the Supplementary Defense Cooperation Agreement, which in part allows the U.S. to build additional infrastructure at Rygge and Sola air stations in southern Norway as well as Evenes air station and Ramsund naval station above the Arctic Circle.170

Construction at Evenes will support Norwegian and allied maritime patrol aircraft in monitoring Russian submarine activity.

Because Russia is an Arctic power, its military presence in the region is to be expected, but it should be viewed with some caution because of Russia’s pattern of aggression. In the Arctic, sovereignty equals security. Respecting national sovereignty in the Arctic would ensure that the chances of armed conflict in the region remain low. Since NATO is an intergovernmental alliance of sovereign nation-states built on the consensus of all of its members, it has a role to play in Arctic security. In the words of NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg:

Increased Russian presence, more Russian bases in the High North, has also triggered the need for more NATO presence, and we have increased our presence there with more naval capabilities, presence in the air, and not least, the importance of protecting transatlantic undersea cables transmitting a lot of data.171

In March 2017, a decree signed by Putin gave the Federal Security Service (FSB), which controls law enforcement along the Northern Sea Route, an Arctic shipping route linking Asia and Europe, additional powers to confiscate land “in areas with special objects for land use, and in the border areas.”172

Russia’s Arctic territory is included within this FSB-controlled border zone. The FSB and its subordinate coast guard have added patrol vessels and have built up Arctic bases, including a coast guard base in Murmansk that was opened in December 2018.173

The Russian National Guard, which reports to President Putin,174

is likewise taking on an increased role in the Arctic and is now charged with protecting infrastructure sites that are deemed to be of strategic importance, including a new liquefied natural gas (LNG) export terminal at Sabetta that was opened in December 2017.175 In April 2021, shareholders of Novatek, Russia’s second-largest natural gas producer, “approved external financing of $11 billion for the Arctic LNG 2 project, which is expected to start production of [LNG] in 2023.”176

In May 2018, Putin issued a presidential degree setting a target of 80 million tons shipped across the NSR by 2024.177

In December 2020, Rosatom, Russia’s state nuclear power company, announced that it had shipped a record 32 million tons on the NSR in 2020. This surpassed the original target of 29 million tons.178 In March 2019, Russian media reported that the government was drafting stringent navigation rules for the entire length of the NSR outside Russian territorial waters. Under these rules, for example, foreign navies would be required to “post a request with Russian authorities to pass through the Sevmorput [NSR] 45 days in advance, providing detailed technical information about the ship, its crew and destination.”179

Russia also has been investing in military bases in the Arctic. Its base on Alexandra Land, commissioned in 2017, can house 150 soldiers autonomously for up to 18 months.180

In addition, old Soviet-era facilities have been reopened.

In September 2018, the Northern Fleet announced construction plans for a new military complex to house a 100-soldier garrison and anti-aircraft units at Tiksi; in January 2019, Russian authorities claimed that the base was 95 percent completed.181

Also in 2018, Russia opened an Arctic airfield at Nagurskoye that is equipped with a 2,500-meter landing strip and a fleet of MiG-31 or Su-34 Russian fighters.182

Air power in the Arctic is increasingly important to Russia, which has 14 operational airfields in the region along with 16 deep-water ports.183

According to a March 18, 2021, Forbes report, “the Russian navy has tasked a regiment of upgraded MiG-31BM [interceptor aircraft] to skip and hop across Arctic airfields in order to range across the cold-but-rapidly-thawing North Pole.”184 In March 2019, Mayor General Igor Kozhin, head of the Russian Naval Air Force, claimed that Russia had successfully tested a new airstrip cover that is effective in “temperatures down to minus 30 centigrades.”185

Russia resumed regular fighter jet combat patrols in the Arctic in 2019.186

The Ministry of Defense, for example, announced that in January 2019, two Tu-160 bombers flew for 15 hours in international airspace over the Arctic.187 Over the course of one week in April 2019, Russian fighter and bomber jets flew near the coast of Norway twice. In one instance, two Tu-60 bombers and a MiG-31 flew 13 hours over the Barents, Norwegian, and North Seas. British and Danish jets scrambled to meet the Russian aircraft.188

Russian Arctic flights are often aggressive. In May 2017, 12 Russian aircraft simulated an attack against NATO naval forces taking part in the EASTLANT 17 exercise near Tromsø, Norway, and later that month, Russian aircraft targeted aircraft from 12 nations, including the U.S., that took part in the Arctic Challenge 2017 exercise near Bodø.189

As noted previously, in April 2018, Maritime Patrol aircraft from Russia’s Pacific Fleet for the first time exercised locating and bombing enemy submarines in the Arctic while fighter jets exercised repelling an air invasion in the Arctic region.190 In March 2020, two Russian strategic heavy bombers flew over U.S. submarines surfaced in the Arctic Ocean, and in April, two maritime Tu-142 reconnaissance and anti-submarine warfare planes flew over the Barents, Norwegian, and North Seas.191

In 2017, Russia activated a new radar complex on Wrangel Island.192

In 2019, it announced plans to lay a nearly 8,000-mile fiber-optic cable across its Arctic coast, linking military installations along the way from the Kola Peninsula through Vladivostok.193 Construction of the cable began in spring 2021.194

In November 2019, Russia announced rocket firings in the Norwegian Sea 20 to 40 nautical miles from the Norwegian coast. The test firings, with little advance notice, were designed to send a message as they took place in an area through which NATO ships were sailing during the Trident Juncture exercise.195

In March 2021, Russia’s Admiral Gorshkov frigate successfully “launched an Oniks cruise missile and hit a coastal target on Novaya Zemlya, about 300 kilometers from launch position.”196

Russia’s ultimate goal is encapsulated in a June 2019 study published by the Royal Institute of International Affairs:

Since the mid-2010s, the Kremlin has deployed substantive force and capabilities along the coast of its northern border in the AZRF [Arctic Zone of the Russian Federation]. Parts of the armed forces are now Arctic-capable, and have developed concepts of operations tailored to that environment. With the creation of OSK Sever [Joint Strategic Command North] in 2013, the Russian armed forces have been slowly reshaping their Arctic command structure. The Arctic forces are primarily focused on air and naval operations, with the aim of creating an integrated combined-arms force for the region.197

For a few years, Russia was developing three new nuclear icebreakers, and in May 2019, it launched its third and final Arktika.198

The Arktika, currently the world’s largest and most powerful nuclear icebreaker,199 sailed straight to the North Pole in October 2020.200

Russia’s most recently released naval doctrine, from July 2017, cites the alleged “ambition of a range of states, and foremost the United States of America and its allies, to dominate the high seas, including in the Arctic, and to press for overwhelming superiority of their naval forces.”201

In May 2017, Russia had announced that its buildup of the Northern Fleet’s nuclear capacity is intended “to phase ‘NATO out of [the] Arctic.’”202

Russia’s Northern Fleet is also building newly refitted submarines, including a newly converted Belgorod nuclear-powered submarine that was launched in April 2019.203

The Belgorod is expected to carry six Poseidon drones, also known as nuclear torpedoes, and will carry out “a series of special missions.”204 The submarine will have a smaller minisub that will potentially be capable of tampering with or destroying undersea telecommunications cables.205 According to Russian media reports, the Belgorod“will be engaged in studying the bottom of the Russian Arctic shelf, searching for minerals at great depths, and also laying underwater communications.”206 A similar submarine, the Khabarovsk, is under construction and scheduled to be launched in the fall of 2021.207

Russia continues to develop and increase its military capabilities in the Arctic region. The likelihood of armed conflict remains low, but physical changes in the region mean that the posture of players will continue to evolve. It is clear that Russia intends to exert a dominant influence. According to a U.S. Department of State official, as quoted in a Congressional Research Service report:

[The U.S. has] concerns about Russia’s military buildup in the Arctic. Its presence has grown dramatically in recent years with the establishments of new Arctic commands, new Arctic brigades, refurbished airfields and other infrastructure, deep water ports, new military bases along its Arctic coastline, an effort to establish air defense and coastal missile systems, early warning radars, and a variety of other things along the Arctic coastline. We’ve seen an enhanced ops [operations] tempo of the Russian military in the Arctic, including last October one of the largest Russian military exercises in the Arctic since the end of the Cold War. So there is some genuine and legitimate concern there on the part of the United States and our allies and partners about that behavior in the Arctic.208

Destabilization in the South Caucasus. The South Caucasus sits at a crucial geographical and cultural crossroads and has been strategically important, both militarily and economically, for centuries. Although the countries in the region (Armenia, Georgia, and Azerbaijan) are not part of NATO and therefore do not receive a security guarantee from the United States, they have participated to varying degrees in NATO and U.S.-led operations. This is especially true of Georgia, which aspires to join NATO.

Russia views the South Caucasus as part of its natural sphere of influence and stands ready to exert its influence by force if necessary. In August 2008, Russia invaded Georgia, coming as close as 15 miles to the capital city of Tbilisi. A decade later, several thousand Russian troops occupied the two Georgian regions of South Ossetia and Abkhazia.

Russia has sought to deepen its relationship with the two occupied regions. In 2015, it signed so-called integration treaties with South Ossetia and Abkhazia that, among other things, call for a coordinated foreign policy, creation of a common security and defense space, and implementation of a streamlined process for Abkhazians and South Ossetians to receive Russian citizenship.209

The Georgian Foreign Ministry criticized the treaties as a step toward “annexation of Georgia’s occupied territories,”210

both of which are still internationally recognized as part of Georgia.

In January 2018, Russia ratified an agreement with the de facto leaders of South Ossetia to create a joint military force—an agreement that the U.S. condemned.211

In November 2017, the U.S. State Department approved an estimated $75 million sale of Javelin missiles to Georgia, and in June 2018, the State Department approved a sale of Stinger missiles.212 Russia’s “creeping annexation” of Georgia has left towns split in two and families separated by military occupation and the imposition of an internal border (known as “borderization”).213 In May 2020, the U.S. Embassy in Tbilisi reported that Russian-led security forces were continuing to erect unauthorized fences and reinforcing existing illegal “borderization” efforts near a number of Georgian villages.214

Today, Moscow continues to exploit ethnic divisions and tensions in the South Caucasus to advance pro-Russian policies that are often at odds with America’s or NATO’s goals in the region, but Russia’s influence is not restricted to soft power. In the South Caucasus, the coin of the realm is military might. It is a dangerous neighborhood surrounded by instability and insecurity reflected in terrorism, religious fanaticism, centuries-old sectarian divides, and competition for natural resources.

Russia maintains a sizable military presence in Armenia based on an agreement that gives Moscow access to bases in that country until at least 2044.215

The bulk of Russia’s forces, consisting of 3,300 soldiers, dozens of fighter planes and attack helicopters, 74 T-72 tanks, almost 200 APCs, and an S-300 air defense system, are based around the 102nd Military Base.216 Russia and Armenia have also signed a Combined Regional Air Defense System agreement. Even after the election of Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan following the so-called Velvet Revolution, Armenia’s cozy relationship with Moscow remains unchanged.217 Armenian troops have even deployed alongside Russian troops in Syria to the dismay of U.S. policymakers.218

Another source of regional instability is the Nagorno–Karabakh conflict, which began in 1988 when Armenia made territorial claims to Azerbaijan’s Nagorno–Karabakh Autonomous Oblast.219

By 1992, Armenian forces and Armenian-backed militias had occupied 20 percent of Azerbaijan, including the Nagorno–Karabakh region and seven surrounding districts. A cease-fire agreement was signed in 1994, and the conflict has been described as frozen since then. In 2020, major fighting broke out along the front lines. After six weeks of fighting, Azerbaijan liberated its internationally recognized territory, “which had been under Armenian occupation since the early 1990s.”220

The conflict ended on November 9, 2020, when Armenia and Azerbaijan signed a Russian-brokered cease-fire agreement.221

As part of the nine-point cease-fire plan, nearly 2,000 Russian peacekeeping soldiers were deployed to certain parts of Nagorno-Karabakh largely populated by ethnic Armenians. In May 2021, tensions rose again in the region but for a different reason—the demarcation of the Armenian–Azerbaijani border.222

The Nagorno–Karabakh conflict offers another opportunity for Russia to exert malign influence and consolidate power in the region. While its sympathies lie with Armenia, Russia is the largest supplier of weapons to both Armenia and Azerbaijan.223

As noted by Eurasia expert Eduard Abrahamyan, “for years, Moscow has periodically sought to use the local authorities in Karabakh as a proxy tool of coercive diplomacy against both Baku and Yerevan.”224

The South Caucasus might seem distant to many American policymakers, but the spillover effect of ongoing conflict in the region can have a direct impact both on U.S. interests and on the security of America’s partners, as well as on Turkey and other countries that depend on oil and gas transiting the region. Russia views the South Caucasus as a vital theater and uses a multitude of tools that include military aggression, economic pressure, and the stoking of ethnic tensions to exert influence and control, usually to promote outcomes that are at odds with U.S. interests.

Increased Activity in the Mediterranean. Russia has had a military presence in Syria for decades, but in September 2015, it became the decisive actor in Syria’s ongoing civil war, having saved Bashar al-Assad from being overthrown and having strengthened his hand militarily, thus enabling government forces to retake territory lost during the war. Although conflicting strategic interests cause the relationship between Assad and Putin to be strained at times, Assad still needs Russian military support to take back Idlib province, a goal that he likely shares with Putin.225

Russia’s Hmeymim Air Base is closely located to Idlib, a source of attacks from rebel fighters and terrorist groups, and Moscow instinctively desires to protect its assets. Assad’s only goal is to restore sovereignty over all of Syria; Russia generally is more focused on eliminating terrorism in the region and must manage its relationship with Turkey.

In January 2017, Russia signed an agreement with the Assad regime to “expand the Tartus naval facility, Russia’s only naval foothold in the Mediterranean, and grant Russian warships access to Syrian waters and ports…. The agreement will last for 49 years and could be prolonged further.”226

According to a May 2020 report, Russia is reinforcing its naval group in the Mediterranean Sea with warships and submarines armed with Kalibr cruise missiles.227 In May 2021, the Voice of America reported that Russia is expanding its navy base at Tartus and “planning to construct a floating dock to boost the port’s ship repair facilities.”228

The agreement with Syria also includes upgrades to the Hmeymim air base at Latakia, including repairs to a second runway.229

Russia deployed the S-400 anti-aircraft missile system to Hmeymim in late 2015.230 It also has deployed the Pantsir S1 system. “The two systems working in tandem provide a ‘layered defense,’” according to one account, “with the S-400 providing long-ranged protection against bombers, fighter jets, and ballistic missiles, and the Pantsir providing medium-ranged protection against cruise missiles, low-flying strike aircraft, and drones.”231 Russia currently operates out of Hmeymim air base on a 40-year agreement and continues to entrench its position there, as demonstrated by its recent building of reinforced concrete aircraft shelters.232 In August 2020, Syria agreed to give Russia additional land and coastal waters to expand its Hmeymim air base.233

Russia is using Syria as a testing ground for new weapons systems while obtaining valuable combat experience for its troops. According to Lieutenant General Ben Hodges, former Commander, U.S. Army Europe, Russia has used its intervention in Syria as a “live-fire training opportunity.”234

The IISS similarly reports that Russia has used Syria as “a test bed for the development of joint operations and new weapons and tactics.”235

In fact, Russia has tested hundreds of pieces of new equipment in Syria. In December 2018:

Russian Deputy Prime Minister Yury Borisov detailed to local media…the various new weapons systems [that] have been introduced to the conflict. These included the Pantsir S1 anti-aircraft and Iskander-M ballistic missile systems on the ground, Tupolev Tu-160 supersonic strategic bombers, Tu-22M3 supersonic bombers and Tu-95 propeller-driven bombers, as well as Mikoyan MiG-29K fighters and Ka-52K Katran helicopters in the air.236

Overall, Russian arms sales abroad reportedly exceeded $13 billion in 2019, surpassing sales in 2018 by more than $2 billion.237

Russian pilots have occasionally acted dangerously in the skies over Syria. In May 2017, for example, a Russian fighter jet intercepted a U.S. KC-10 tanker, performing a barrel roll over the top of the KC-10.238

That same month, Russia stated that U.S. and allied aircraft would be banned from flying over large areas of Syria because of a deal agreed to by Russia, Iran, and Turkey. The U.S. responded that the deal does not “preclude anyone from going after terrorists wherever they may be in Syria.”239

The U.S. and Russia have a deconfliction hotline to avoid midair collisions and incidents, but incidents have occurred on the ground as well as in the air. In November 2018, Ambassador James Jeffrey, U.S. Special Representative for Syria Engagement, told news media that “American and Russian forces have clashed a dozen times in Syria—sometimes with exchanges of fire.”240

In October 2018, Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi signed a strategic cooperation treaty with Russia.241

In November 2018, Russia sought to solidify its relations with Egypt, approving a five-year agreement for the two countries to use each other’s air bases.242 Russia is a major exporter of arms to Egypt, which agreed to purchase 20 Su-35 fighter jets in 2018 for $2 billion.243 Production of the Su-35 jets began in May 2020.244

In Libya, Russia continues to support Field Marshal Khalifa Haftar with weapons and military advisers. According to the Department of Defense, Russia’s Wagner Group continues to be involved militarily in Libya.245

Despite its ties to Haftar, Russia has also focused on growing business ties with the Libyan government in Tripoli.246

Russia has stepped up its military operations in the Mediterranean significantly, often harassing U.S. and allied vessels involved in operations against the Islamic State. In April 2020, for example, a U.S. Navy aircraft over the Mediterranean Sea was intercepted by a Russian Su-35 jet—the second time in four days that “Russian pilots made unsafe maneuvers while intercepting US aircraft.”247

The Russian jet had taken off from Hmeymim air base in Syria. This happened again in May when two Russian Su-35 jets unsafely intercepted a U.S. Navy P-8A maritime patrol aircraft over international waters in the Eastern Mediterranean.248

From April–August 2017, the U.S. along with British, Dutch, and Spanish allies tracked the Krasnodar, a Kilo-class submarine, as it sailed from the Baltic Sea to a Russian base in occupied Crimea. The submarine stopped twice in the eastern Mediterranean to launch cruise missiles into Syria and conducted drills in the Baltic Sea and off the coast of Libya. This was one of the first times since the Cold War that the U.S. and NATO allies had tracked a Russian submarine during combat operations.249

In February 2020, General Wolters revealed that Russian submarines are becoming more active and harder for the United States to track.250

Russia’s position in Syria, including its expanded area-access/area-denialcapabilities and increased warship and submarine presence, underscores the growing importance of the Mediterranean theater in ensuring Europe’s security.

The Balkans. Security has improved dramatically in the Balkans since the 1990s, but violence based on religious and ethnic differences remains an ongoing possibility. These tensions are exacerbated by sluggish economies, high unemployment, and political corruption.

Russia’s interests in the Western Balkans are at odds with the ongoing desire of the U.S. and its European allies to encourage closer ties between the region and the transatlantic community:

Russia seeks to sever the transatlantic bond forged with the Western Balkans…by sowing instability. Chiefly Russia has sought to inflame preexisting ethnic, historic, and religious tensions. Russian propaganda magnifies this toxic ethnic and religious messaging, fans public disillusionment with the West, as well as institutions inside the Balkan nations, and misinforms the public about Russia’s intentions and interests in the region.251
undefinedundefined

Senior members of the Russian government have alleged that NATO enlargement in the Balkans is one of the biggest threats to Russia.252

In June 2017, Montenegro became NATO’s 29th member state, and in March 2020, North Macedonia became NATO’s 30th member state, both joining Albania and Croatia as NATO members in the Balkans.

Russia stands accused of being behind a failed plot to break into Montenegro’s parliament on election day in 2016, assassinate its former prime minister, and install a pro-Russian government. In May 2019, two Russian nationals, believed to be the masterminds behind the plot, were convicted in absentia along with 12 other individuals for organizing and carrying out the failed coup. The trial judge stated that the convicted Russians who organized the plot “knowingly tried to terrorize Montenegrins, attack others, threaten and hurt basic constitutional and social structures.”253

After Russia annexed Crimea, the Montenegrin government backed European sanctions against Moscow and even implemented its own sanctions. Nevertheless, Russia has significant economic influence in Montenegro and in 2015 sought unsuccessfully to gain access to Montenegrin ports for the Russian navy to refuel and perform maintenance. Russia was the largest investor in Montenegro until October 2020, when it was surpassed by China.254

North Macedonia’s accession to NATO was similarly targeted by Russia, which had warned the nation against joining the alliance and sought to derail the Prespa agreement that paved the way for membership by settling long-standing Greek objections to Macedonia’s name.255

In 2018, after North Macedonia was invited to join NATO, Russia’s ambassador to the EU stated that “there are errors that have consequences.”256 In July 2018, Greece expelled two Russian diplomats and banned entry by two Russian nationals because of their efforts to undermine the name agreement; Russian actions in Macedonia included disinformation surrounding the vote, websites and social media posts opposing the Prespa agreement, and payments to protestors as well as politicians and organizations opposing the agreement.257

Serbia in particular has long served as Russia’s foothold in the Balkans:

Russia’s influence in the Balkans centers on Serbia, a fellow religiously orthodox nation with whom it enjoys a close economic, political, and military relationship. Serbia and Russia have an agreement in place allowing Russian soldiers to be based at Niš airport in Serbia. The two countries signed a 15-year military cooperation agreement in 2013 that includes sharing of intelligence, officer exchanges, and joint military exercises. In October [2017], Russia gave Serbia six MiG-29 fighters (which while free, will require Serbia to spend $235 million to have them overhauled). Additionally, Russia plans to supply Serbia with helicopters, T-72 tanks, armored vehicles, and potentially even surface-to-air missile systems.258
undefinedundefined

The so-called Russian–Serbian Humanitarian Center at Niš is “widely believed to be a Russian spy base” and is located “only 58 miles from NATO’s Kosovo Force mission based in Pristina.”259

In February 2020, Serbia purchased the Pantsir S1 air-defense system from Russia despite objections and potential sanctions from the United States.260

Russia has used its cultural ties to increase its role in Serbia, positioning itself as the defender of orthodoxy and investing funds in the refurbishing of orthodox churches. It also has helped to establish more than 100 pro-Russian non-governmental organizations and media outlets in Macedonia.261

Serbia and Russia have signed a strategic partnership agreement that is focused on economic issues. Russia’s inward investment is focused on the transport and energy sectors. Except for those in the Commonwealth of Independent States, Serbia is the only country in Europe that has a free trade deal with Russia. In January 2019, Serbia and Russia signed 26 agreements relating to energy, railway construction, and strategic education cooperation.262

In a January 2019 state visit to Serbia, Vladimir Putin stated a desire for a free trade agreement between Serbia and the Russian-led Eurasian Economic Union, to be signed by the end of the year. An agreement between the two countries was signed in October 2019 “following veiled warnings from the European Union.”263

In addition, Russia has held out the possibility of $1.4 billion in infrastructure aid to Serbia aimed at building the Turk Stream pipeline and increasing Russia’s energy leverage in the region. Russia also has continued to oppose Kosovo’s recognition as an independent sovereign country and has condemned Kosovo’s creation of its own army.264

However, Serbia still participates in military exercises far more often without Russia than with Russia. “In 2017,” for example, “Serbian forces participated in 2 joint exercises with Russia and Belarus but held 13 exercises with NATO members and 7 with U.S. units.”265

Like Russia, Serbia is a member of NATO’s Partnership for Peace program. Additionally, Serbia has been part of the U.S. National Guard’s State Partnership Program, partnering with the State of Ohio since 2006.

Russia is also active in Bosnia and Herzegovina—specifically, the ethnically Serb Republika Srpska, one of two substate entities inside Bosnia and Herzegovina that emerged from that country’s civil war in the 1990s. Moscow knows that exploiting internal ethnic and religious divisions among the country’s Bosniak, Croat, and Serb populations is the easiest way to prevent Bosnia and Herzegovina from entering the transatlantic community.

Republika Srpska’s current unofficial leader, Milorad Dodik, has long advocated independence for the region and has enjoyed a very close relationship with the Kremlin. President Željka Cvijanović also claims that Republika Srpska will continue to maintain its partnership with Russia.266

Recent events in Ukraine, especially the annexation of Crimea, have inspired more separatist rhetoric in Republika Srpska. In September 2018, two weeks before elections in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov visited Sarajevo, but he also visited Banja Luka in Republika Srpska, where he visited the site of “a future Serbian–Russian Orthodox cultural center.”267

In many ways, Russia’s relationship with Republika Srpska is akin to its relationship with Georgia’s South Ossetia and Abkhazia occupied regions: more like a relationship with another sovereign state than a relationship with a semiautonomous region inside Bosnia and Herzegovina. When Putin visited Serbia in October 2014, Dodik was treated like a head of state and invited to Belgrade to meet with him. In September 2016, Dodik was treated like a head of state on a visit to Moscow just days before a referendum that chose January 9 as Republika Srpska’s “statehood day,” a date filled with religious and ethnic symbolism for the Serbs.268

In October 2018, just days before elections, Dodik again visited Russia where he watched the Russian Grand Prix in a VIP box with Putin.269 Republika Srpska continues to host its “statehood day” in defiance of a ruling by Bosnia’s federal constitutional court that both the celebration and the referendum establishing it were illegal.270

On January 9, 2020, Bosnian Serbs again held “statehood day.”271

At the 2018 “statehood day,” then-president Dodik and the self-proclaimed leaders of South Ossetia had “signed a memorandum on cooperation between the ‘states.’”272 Russia has reportedly trained a Republika Srpska paramilitary force in Russia at the nearby Niš air base to defend the Serbian entity. It has been reported that “[s]ome of its members fought as mercenaries alongside the Kremlin’s proxy separatists in Ukraine.”273 Veterans organizations in Russia and Republika Srpska have developed close ties.274

Russia has cultivated strong ties with the security forces of Republika Srpska. Russian police take part in exchanges with the security forces, and Russian intelligence officers reportedly teach at the police academy and local university. On April 4, 2018, the Republika Srpska authorities opened a new $4 million training center “at the site of a former army barracks in Zaluzani, outside Banja Luka.” The site serves as the headquarters for “anti-terrorist units, logistics units, and a department to combat organized crime.”275

Russia does not want Kosovo to be seen as a successful nation pointed toward the West. Rather, it seeks to derail Kosovo’s efforts to integrate into the West, often by exploiting the Serbian minority’s grievances. In the most jarring example, in January 2017, a train traveling from Belgrade to Mitrovica, a heavily Serb town in Kosovo, was stopped at the Kosovar border. The Russian-made train was “painted in the colors of the Serbian flag and featured pictures of churches, monasteries, and medieval towns, as well as the words ‘Kosovo is Serbian’ in 21 languages.”276

The U.S. has invested heavily in the Balkans since the end of the Cold War. Tens of thousands of U.S. servicemembers have served in the Balkans, and the U.S. has spent billions of dollars in aid there, all in the hope of creating a secure and prosperous region that will someday be part of the transatlantic community.

The foremost external threat to the Balkans is Russia. Russia’s interests in the Balkans are at odds with the U.S. goal of encouraging the region to progress toward the transatlantic community. Russia seeks to sever the transatlantic bond forged with the Western Balkans by sowing instability and increasing its economic, political, and military footprint in the region.

Threats to the Commons

Other than cyberspace and (to some extent) airspace, the commons are relatively secure in the European region. Despite Russia’s periodic aggressive maneuvers near U.S. and NATO vessels—and with the significant exception of the Kerch Strait—this remains largely true with respect to the security of and free passage through shipping lanes. The maritime domain is heavily patrolled by the navies and coast guards of NATO and NATO partner countries, and except in remote areas in the Arctic Sea, search and rescue capabilities are readily available. Moreover, maritime-launched terrorism is not a significant problem, and piracy is virtually nonexistent.

Sea. In May 2018, 17 Russian fighter jets buzzed the HMS Duncan, which was serving as the flagship of Standing NATO Maritime Group Two (SNMG2), operating in the Black Sea. Commodore Mike Utley, who was leading SNMG2, stated that the ship was “probably the only maritime asset that has seen a raid of that magnitude in the last 25 years,” and then-British Defense Minister Gavin Williamson described the behavior as “brazen Russian hostility.”277

In April 2018, a fully armed Russian jet buzzed a French frigate operating in the eastern Mediterranean.278

Russian threats to the maritime theater also include activity near undersea fiber-optic cables. In July 2019, a Russian submarine reportedly was trying to tap information flowing through undersea cables near Russia’s northern shore in the Barents Sea. The cables “carry 95 percent of daily worldwide communications” in addition to “financial transactions worth over $10 trillion a day.”279

Thus, any disruption would cause a catastrophic reduction in the flow of capital.

The Yantar, a mother ship to two Russian minisubmersibles, is often seen near undersea cables, which it is capable of tapping or cutting, and has been observed collecting intelligence near U.S. naval facilities, including the submarine base at Kings Bay, Georgia.280

The Russian spy ship Viktor Leonov was spotted collecting intelligence within 20 miles of Kings Bay in March 2017 and within 30 miles of Groton, Connecticut, in February 2018.281

Airspace. Russia has continued its provocative military flights near U.S. and European airspace over the past year. In April 2021, Lieutenant General David Krumm from Joint Base Elmendorf–Richardson, Alaska, revealed that during the past year, there was a large increase in Russian activity and the U.S. intercepted more than 60 Russian aircraft.282

That was the “most action the Alaska Air Defense Identification Zone—a region spanning 200 nautical miles that reaches past U.S. territory and into international airspace—ha[d] seen since the Soviet Union fell in 1991.”283 In October 2020, F-22 Raptor stealth fighter jets scrambled “to intercept Russian long-range bombers and fighters flying off Alaska’s coast” in “the 14th such incident off Alaska’s coast in 2020.”284

In March and April 2019, the Royal Air Force scrambled fighters twice in five days to intercept Russian bombers flying near U.K. airspace off Scotland while the U.S., Australia, and 11 NATO allies were taking part in the Joint Warrior exercise in Scotland.285

Also in March 2019, Italian jets operating from Keflavík in Iceland intercepted two Russian Tu-142 Bear bombers flying in Iceland’s air surveillance area.286

Aggressive Russian flying has occurred near North American airspace as well. In January 2019, two U.S. F-22s and two Canadian CF-18 fighters scrambled when two Russian Tu-160 Blackjack bombers flew into Arctic airspace patrolled by the Royal Canadian Air Force.287

Russian flights have also targeted U.S. ally Japan. Twice in one day in June 2019, two Russian Tupolev Tu-95 bombers entered Japanese airspace—over Minamidaito Island east of Okinawa and over Hachijo Island southeast of Tokyo. Japan sent out fighter jets to warn them.288

In incidents in January, March, and May 2019, Japan scrambled fighter jets to intercept a Russian Il-38N maritime patrol aircraft (MPA) flying over the Sea of Japan.289 Nor is it only MPAs that fly near Japan; for instance, Russian Su-24 attack aircraft were intercepted in December 2018 and January 2019 incidents.290 Between April 1, 2018, and March 31, 2019, Japan had to scramble jets 343 times to intercept Russian aircraft, although that was 47 times less than was necessary in the preceding year.291

The principal threat from Russian airspace incursions, however, remains near NATO territory in Eastern Europe, specifically in the Black Sea and Baltic regions. In the Black Sea region, in December 2020, Russia scrambled one of its Su-30 fighter jets to prevent U.S. and French reconnaissance planes from crossing the Russian border, even though they were flying over international waters.292

In March 2021, NATO fighter jets scrambled 10 times in one day “to shadow Russian bombers and fighters during an unusual peak of flights over the North Atlantic, North Sea, Black Sea and Baltic Sea.”293 In the Baltics, in April 2021, “NATO scrambled fighter jets from bases in Estonia, Lithuania and Poland to track and intercept Russian fighters, bombers and surveillance aircraft over the Baltic Sea.”294

There have been several incidents involving Russian military aircraft flying in Europe without using their transponders. In April 2020, two maritime Tu-142 reconnaissance and anti-submarine warfare planes flew over the Barents, Norwegian, and North Seas but had switched off their transponders. As a result, two Norwegian F-16s were scrambled to identify the planes.295

In September 2019, a Russian Air Force Sukhoi Su-34 fighter flew over Estonian airspace without filing a flight plan or maintaining radio contact with Estonian air navigation officials because the plane’s transponder had been switched off. This was the second violation of Estonia’s airspace by a Russian aircraft in 2019.296 In August 2019, two Russian Su-27 escort jets flew over the Baltic Sea without a flight plan and without turning on their transponders.297

Russia’s violation of the sovereign airspace of NATO member states is a probing and antagonistic policy that is designed both to test the defense of the alliance and as practice for potential future conflicts. Similarly, Russia’s antagonistic behavior in international waters is a threat to freedom of the seas.

Russia’s reckless aerial activity in the region also remains a threat to civilian aircraft flying in European airspace. That the provocative and hazardous behavior of the Russian armed forces or Russian-sponsored groups poses a threat to civilian aircraft in Europe was amply demonstrated by the July 2014 downing of Malaysia Airlines Flight MH17, killing all 283 passengers and 15 crewmembers, over the skies of southeastern Ukraine.

Cyber. Russian cyber capabilities are sophisticated and active, regularly threatening economic, social, and political targets around the world. Even more, Moscow appears to be increasingly aggressive in its use of digital techniques, often employing only the slightest veneer of deniability in an effort to intimidate targets and openly defy international norms and organizations.

Russia clearly believes that these online operations will be essential to its domestic and foreign policy for the foreseeable future. As former Chief of the Russian General Staff General Yuri Baluyevsky has observed, “a victory in information warfare ‘can be much more important than victory in a classical military conflict, because it is bloodless, yet the impact is overwhelming and can paralyse all of the enemy state’s power structures.’”298

Russia continues to probe U.S. critical infrastructure. In January 2019, testifying before the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, then-Director of National Intelligence Daniel R. Coats assessed that:

Russia has the ability to execute cyber attacks in the United States that generate localized, temporary disruptive effects on critical infrastructure—such as disrupting an electrical distribution network for at least a few hours—similar to those demonstrated in Ukraine in 2015 and 2016. Moscow is mapping our critical infrastructure with the long-term goal of being able to cause substantial damage.299
undefinedundefined

Russia continued to conduct cyberattacks on government and private entities in 2020 and 2021. In December 2020, Russian hackers “broke into a range of key government networks, including in the Treasury and Commerce Departments, and had free access to their email systems.”300

According to The New York Times, “[a]bout 18,000 private and government users downloaded a Russian tainted software update—a Trojan horse of sorts—that gave its hackers a foothold into victims’ systems, according to SolarWinds, the company whose software was compromised.”301 Multiple U.S. government agencies, the Pentagon, nuclear labs, and several Fortune 500 companies had been using the SolarWinds software on their computers.302

In April 2021, the U.S. Treasury sanctioned Russia for the SolarWinds hack. It also sanctioned 32 Russian “entities and individuals” who had carried out “Russian government-directed attempts to influence the 2020 U.S. presidential election, and other acts of disinformation and interference.”303

In May 2021, a Russia-based hacking group known as DarkSide launched a cyberattack against Colonial Pipeline, “the operator of one of the nation’s largest fuel pipelines.”304

The 5,500-mile pipeline, “responsible for carrying fuel from refineries along the Gulf Coast to New Jersey,” was down for six days.305 Colonial Pipeline paid DarkSide $90 million in bitcoin as a ransom payment,306 but the Department of Justice was able to recover approximately $2.3 million of that amount a few weeks later.307 In June 2021, REvil, a Russian cybercriminal group, launched a ransomware attack on JBS, “the world’s largest meat processing company.”308 As a result of the cyberattack, JBS was forced to shut down all nine of its U.S. plants for a brief period.309

However, the United States is not Russia’s only target. In February 2020, the U.S. and its key allies accused Russia’s main military intelligence agency, the GRU, of a broad cyberattack against the Republic of Georgia. According to The New York Times, the attack “took out websites and interrupted television broadcasts.”310

The attack was limited, but through its accusation, the U.S. sought to deter Moscow from intervening in the 2020 presidential election.

In April 2018 alone, Germany’s head of domestic intelligence accused Moscow of attacking his government’s computer networks, and the U.K.’s National Cyber Security Center warned that Russian hackers were targeting Britain’s critical infrastructure supply chains. Cyber activity continues to be a significant part of Russia’s efforts to manipulate and undermine democratic elections in Europe and elsewhere.

In addition to official intelligence and military cyber assets, Russia employs allied criminal organizations (so-called patriotic hackers) to help it engage in cyber aggression. Using these hackers gives Russia greater resources and can help to shield its true capabilities. Patriotic hackers also give the Russian government deniability when it is desired. In June 2017, for example, Putin stated that “[i]f they (hackers) are patriotically-minded, they start to make their own contribution to what they believe is the good fight against those who speak badly about Russia. Is that possible? Theoretically it is possible.”311

Russia’s cyber capabilities are advanced and of key importance in realizing the state’s strategic aims. Russia has used cyberattacks to further the reach and effectiveness of its propaganda and disinformation campaigns, and its ongoing cyberattacks against election processes in the U.S. and European countries are designed to undermine citizens’ belief in the veracity of electoral outcomes and erode support for democratic institutions in the longer term. Russia also has used cyberattacks to target physical infrastructure, including electrical grids, air traffic control, and gas distribution systems.

Russia’s increasingly bold use of cyber capabilities, coupled with their sophistication and Moscow’s willingness to use them aggressively, presents a serious challenge both to the U.S. and to its interests abroad.

Conclusion

Overall, the threat to the U.S. homeland originating from Europe remains low, but the threat to America’s interests and allies in the region remains significant. Behind this threat lies Russia. Although Russia has the military capability to harm and (in the case of its nuclear arsenal) to pose an existential threat to the U.S., it has not conclusively demonstrated the intent to do so.

The situation with respect to America’s allies in the region is different. Through NATO, the U.S. is obliged by treaty to come to the aid of the alliance’s European members. Russia continues its efforts to undermine the NATO alliance and presents an existential threat to U.S. allies in Eastern Europe. NATO has been the cornerstone of European security and stability ever since its creation in 1949, and it is in America’s interest to ensure that it maintains both the military capability and the political will to fulfill its treaty obligations.

While Russia is not the threat to U.S. global interests that the Soviet Union was during the Cold War, it does pose challenges to a range of America’s interests and those of its allies and friends closest to Russia’s borders. Russia possesses a full range of capabilities from ground forces to air, naval, space, and cyber. It still maintains the world’s largest nuclear arsenal, and although a strike on the U.S. is highly unlikely, the latent potential for such a strike still gives these weapons enough strategic value vis-à-vis America’s NATO allies and interests in Europe to ensure their continued relevance.

Russian provocations that are much less serious than any scenario involving a nuclear exchange pose the most serious challenge to American interests, particularly in Central and Eastern Europe, the Arctic, the Balkans, and the South Caucasus. As the 2021 Worldwide Threat Assessment states:

Moscow will continue to employ a variety of tactics this year meant to undermine US influence, develop new international norms and partnerships, divide Western countries and weaken Western alliances, and demonstrate Russia’s ability to shape global events as a major player in a new multipolar international order. Russia will continue to develop its military, nuclear, space, cyber, and intelligence capabilities, while actively engaging abroad and leveraging its energy resources, to advance its agenda and undermine the United States.312

For these reasons, the Index of U.S. Military Strength continues to assess the threat from Russia as “aggressive” and “formidable.”

Executive Summary of the 2022 Index of U.S. Military Strength

As currently postured, the U.S. military continues to be only marginally able to meet the demands of defending America’s vital national interests.

Introduction

Informed deliberations on the status of America’s military power are desperately needed.

Preface

At The Heritage Foundation, we have long recognized that one of the very few obligations the U.S. Constitution places on the federal government is to provide for the common defense.

Key Topics

Assessing the Global Operating Environment

Assessing Threats to U.S. Vital Interests

An Assessment of U.S. Military Power

Topical Essays

In October 2019, the U.S. released and deported to Russia Maria Butina, a convicted Russian operative who had infiltrated American conservative political groups to interfere with the 2016 presidential election.93

In December 2016, the U.S. expelled 35 Russian intelligence operatives, closed two compounds in Maryland and New York that were used for espionage, and levied additional economic sanctions against individuals who took part in interfering in the 2016 U.S. election.102

Undersea cables in the United States are also at risk of being tapped for valuable intelligence. Fourteen Russian sailors who died aboard a submarine that caught fire in July 2019 were suspected of attempting to tap information flowing from American undersea cables.103

A commissioner at the CRTC has left his post to join Sun News.

A commissioner at the Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunications Commission has left his post after five years to join Sun News, as the broadcaster seeks “must carry” status.

Marc Patrone’s contract with the CRTC ended on March 18. He is now the Sun News Network’s director of news operations for Western Canada.

The Chronicle Herald reported Patrone’s new job Friday, and CTV confirmed the move.

Sun News vice-president Kory Teneycke sent an email to CTV News showing that the federal conflict of interest commissioner approved Patrone’s hiring.

In a letter, the commissioner’s office noted that Patrone’s dealings with Quebecor Media took place more than one year before his last day his last day at the CRTC and were not related to Sun News Network’s licencing interests. As a result, he was not violating his post-employment obligations under the Conflict of Interest Act, the letter said.

Sun Media is asking the CRTC to grant its news channel “mandatory carriage.” If approved, cable and satellite customers across Canada will be paying to have its news channel as part of their TV packages.

On Thursday, a well-placed source told CTV’s Ottawa Bureau Chief Robert Fife that Sen. Mike Duffy approached a Conservative insider with connections to the CRTC three weeks ago to discuss Sun Media.

“You know people at the CRTC,” the insider quoted Duffy as saying. “This is an important decision on Sun Media. They have to play with the team and support Sun Media’s request.”

One of Trudeau’s bodyguards speaks out against COVID jab mandates, calls them ‘authoritarian’

Corporal Daniel Bulford of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police is willing to put his job on the line to tell citizens to be wary of government overreach and loss of freedoms.

Thu Oct 28, 2021 - 8:40 pm EDT

(LifeSiteNews) – An elite member of the special police unit tasked with protecting Prime Minister Justin Trudeau blasted COVID jab mandates, saying Canadians need to stand up to government dictates before it’s too late.

“We are free citizens in this country. We should be allowed the flexibility that if I feel comfortable with it and you feel comfortable with it and we want to have a conversation inside of a home, that’s our right to do it in my opinion,” Corporal Daniel Bulford of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) said to The Counter Signal founder Keean Bexte.

“So visualize that line in the sand about what you’re not willing to let them take away from you, because when you look at history, these things don’t happen overnight. They happen in increments. They will incrementally take more and more away from you. And they only do it because we allow them to. Not just the police, but the civilian population, the mass of the population and again, specific to law enforcement, I think they’re targeting the RCMP.”

In what could be a career-ending video interview that went on for nearly an hour, Bulford, who has spent the past eight years on sniper duty in Ottawa, talked in length about “authoritarian” jab mandates.

Bulford told Bexte that he feels “angry,” a little bit resentful, and concerned and sad for the direction that this country is heading” due to the COVID jab mandates.

He said that Trudeau’s words and language around COVID jabs rules are “deliberately dividing the population when he’s talking about the responsible Canadians,” who take the jabs.

“People like me, I guess the non-responsible Canadians, you are deliberately painting us as the other and even our own commissioner is using that exact same language,” Bulford said.

“That really bothers me and people of my mindset because. You know where that can go? … That’s a malicious act.”

Bulford grew up in northern Alberta, and is a trained sniper tasked with protecting Trudeau and other dignitaries, especially when they are in large, uncontrolled settings. In essence, his job is not unlike that of a member of the U.S. Secret Service that protects the President.

Bulford said that he thinks the COVID jab mandates are “far more about control than it is about public health.”

“That’s why we’re doing what we’re doing. That’s why I’m willing to put my job on the line for this. I’m ready to change careers if I need to. They can come for my job, but I will not participate in this authoritarian-type behavior. I refuse to.”

Bulford told Bexte that when it comes to promoting the COVID jabs, he thinks that the “government and our media are under a tremendous amount of influence from powerful corporations that have big pockets.”

“And they’re under a lot of pressure to say the things that those corporations want them to say. That’s my personal opinion,” Bulford said.

In early October, Trudeau announced unprecedented COVID-19 jab mandates for all federal workers, which includes the RCMP and military, and said the un-jabbed will no longer be able to travel by air, boat, or train.

Along with mandating all federal workers be jabbed, Trudeau said that all federally regulated industries such as airlines and marine transportation would also have to mandate COVID injections.

Sniper: Mandating COVID injections on people is something that is ‘out of bounds’

In his interview with Bexte, Bulford said that the government has “no business telling people what they do with their body.”

“Bodily autonomy to me is paramount. If people out there have chosen to take the vaccine because they felt that was the right decision for them, I fully support your choice. I would never criticize you for that,” Bulford said.

“But I have taken many steps in my life to make myself resilient to illness and disease, and I would hope that you would respect my choice to not take it because I mainly don’t believe that they’re effective, and I think we’re starting to see evidence of that in the long term, you know beyond a few months.”

Bulford said people can “still become sick and they can still transmit” after getting the jabs. He said they are “not willing to take any of the significant safety concern, the safety risks associated with these, when they don’t even show to prevent infection and spread.”

“But I know the language has changed, you know, earlier on, it was the best tool to beat the pandemic. It was the best tool to prevent infection and prevent the transmission of the virus. And then it changed to, people who are fully vaccinated are less likely to become infected and less likely to transmit the virus.”

Bulford said he wanted to do his ‘own’ research on COVID jabs

In the interview with Bexte, Bulford said that in his position he does not interact with the public much, so he “wanted to do a little bit of research into it myself before I made before I made a decision (to get the jabs).”

“So I asked, is it mandatory? And the answer I received at the time was, No, it’s not,” Bulford said.

“I want to know a bit more about this, especially since I had already heard rumblings about a new method of technology being implemented.”

Bulford said he wanted to do more of his own research into the jabs after it became apparent that COVID-19 was not as deadly as first thought in early 2020, so he decided to do “a pretty deep dive into the issue.”

“I decided that, OK, I’m not going to take any information from anyone that is not an accredited professional and immunology, virology, vaccine development. And when it came to the medical biology and when it came to the medical side, like I’m going to pay attention to critical care physicians, people that are treating COVID patients right,” Bulford said.

“I know from my own experience in my organization that you’re going to get the most accurate picture of the situation on the ground by talking to people that are on the frontline dealing with it.”

Bulford then said that he is “not anti-vaccine” and that he has had many jabs such as for Yellow Fever, which most Canadians would never have to take.

However, when it comes to the COVID jabs, Bulford said he just has “a real concern about the safety and the efficacy of these current products.”

Bulford is a member of the group Mounties for Freedom, which is made up of active and retired RCMP members who say they cannot “willingly participate in enforcing” COVID jabs mandates,” and have called upon their top boss to investigate government officials.

Mounties for Freedom’s open letter dated October 21 sent to RCMP Commissioner Brenda Lucki now has 55,325 signatures.

Many consider mandates a gross assault on individual freedoms that’s unnecessary in light of COVID-19’s high survivability among most groups, low risk of asymptomatic spread, and research indicating that post-infection natural immunity is equally protective against reinfection.

The COVID-19 injections approved for emergency use in Canada, including the Pfizer jab for ages 12 and up, all have connections to cells derived from aborted babies.

All four have also been associated with severe side effects such as blood clots, rashes, miscarriages, and even heart attacks in young, healthy men.

Open Letter to RCMP Commissioner Brenda Lucki

RCMP National Headquarters
73 Leikin Dr
Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0R2

October 21, 2021

Dear Commissioner Brenda Lucki:

We respectfully submit this open letter to express our most sincere concerns and resolute stand against the forced coercive medical intervention of Canadians, and against the undue discrimination experienced by those exercising their lawful right to bodily autonomy. We are not against vaccinations, but as law enforcement officers, we cannot in good conscience willingly participate in enforcing mandates that we believe go against the best interests of the people we protect.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

As Canadians, our constitutionally-protected freedoms precede the government, and may only be temporarily limited if the majority of evidence justifies such infringements as reasonable, provable, and guided by law. If presented with all available evidence in a court, we firmly believe the government implemented mandates would not hold up under scrutiny.

As experienced investigators, we look past what information is provided and focus on how the information is presented. A proper investigation should be conducted as objectively as possible, and follow the principle that it is better to have questions that cannot be answered than to have answers that cannot be questioned. A complete investigation must include full disclosure of all the facts of the case, even contradictory evidence. Why, then, is there little to no tolerance for free and open debate on this matter? Many credible medical and scientific experts are being censored. Accordingly, we rightly have concerns about “the science” we are being coerced to “follow”.

As representatives of our communities within the RCMP and representatives of the RCMP in our communities, we have never witnessed such division in our country. This sense of “Us versus Them” will be further fueled by having a police force consisting only of “vaccinated” people, while serving communities consisting of “unvaccinated” people, which goes against the community policing model the RCMP has strived to achieve.

As law enforcement officers, we already face higher levels of stress and mental illnesses due to the nature of our work. These have been compounded – considerably – by mandates that we believe are deeply unethical, threatening our livelihood, and dividing society.

As federal employees, what is being done to mitigate this stress? Moreover, what assurances are we given that the injections will not cause short or long-term side effects? What steps will be taken to ensure members are compensated for adverse side effects?

Police officers are expected to preserve the peace, uphold the law, and defend the public interest. We strongly believe that forced and coerced medical treatments undermine all three and, thus, contradict our duties and responsibilities to Canadians. We remain loyal to the Charter and Bill of Rights and ask you to send investigators to collect statements from medical professionals (and other reliable witnesses) who allege they have been silenced – putting lives at risk. Allow us to make this information publicly available to all so the public can scrutinize it and achieve informed consent.

ABOUT US

This letter was created from the collective thoughts, beliefs, and opinions of actively serving police officers of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) from across the country. We have a wealth of experience which includes, but is not limited to, General Duty, Federal Serious and Organized Crime, School Liaison, Prime Minister Protection Detail, Emergency Response Team, Media Relations, and Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit. We come from various ranks, levels of experience, communities, cultural backgrounds, religious beliefs, and vaccination statuses. Together we are the Mounties for Freedom. We are individual police officers who united in the belief that citizens, including federal employees, should not be forced and coerced into taking a medical intervention.

OUR STANCE

In August 2021, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced, “Federal public servants need to be fully vaccinated,” and that for those without a medical exemption who choose not to be vaccinated: “There will be consequences”¹.

Since that statement, many federal employees have been told they will be sent home without pay for refusing to receive a contested medical treatment. We have united in the belief that people should not be forced or coerced into receiving the current COVID-19 treatments – it should be voluntary. We stand united against the forced and coerced medical intervention of Canadians and against the discrimination faced by those who have exercised their right to bodily autonomy. We believe in democracy, the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, and the Bill of Rights.

This is not about whether people should be vaccinated – that is a personal choice.

THE LAW

Our primary duty as peace officers in the RCMP is the preservation of peace². We have never witnessed the level of division in our country as we currently see from the COVID-19 pandemic. It is our responsibility, now more than ever, to make all efforts at preserving the peace in our country.

The Charter of Rights and Freedoms (the Charter) protects fundamental rights and freedoms essential to keeping Canada a free and democratic society³. The Canadian Bill of Rights adds, “… the Canadian Nation is founded upon principles that acknowledge … the dignity and worth of the human person and the position of the family in a society of free men and free institutions.⁴” It continues to say, “Affirming also that men and institutions remain free only when freedom is founded upon respect for moral and spiritual values and the rule of law.⁵”

We believe our federal and provincial governments have failed to uphold the Charter, Bill of Rights, and Constitution and we are witnessing the erosion of democracy in Canada. As you know, the Charter does not guarantee absolute freedoms. If the government is going to limit freedoms, it must establish the limitations are reasonable given all available facts. The government must adhere to a process to prove their actions are appropriate, called the Oakes test. We firmly believe, if presented with all available evidence in a court, the government implemented mandates would not pass the Oakes test. At the time of writing this letter, the Charter’s section 33 Notwithstanding Clause has not been invoked for this pandemic.

Requiring mandatory COVID-19 treatment options is a slippery slope and allows the government to overstep its authority unchecked. It infringes on the fundamental belief in our society that the individual has the right and freedom to choose. The choice of whether to receive medical treatments has always been an individual’s right in Canada. The Canadian National Report on Immunization (1996) stated “Immunization is not mandatory in Canada; it cannot be made mandatory because of the Canadian Constitution.⁶” Section 2 of The Charter guarantees these fundamental freedoms through the freedom of conscience (subsection a) and the freedom of thought, belief, opinion, and expression (subsection b)⁷. Without individuals having the freedom to choose, we would not have a democratic society.

Though the Nuremberg Code is not a law, it is internationally accepted and falls in line with the spirit of our Charter and Bill of Rights. A key component of the Nuremberg Code is that participants in a medical experiment need to participate voluntarily without any form of force or coercion⁸. We have obtained documentation from several Canadian doctors who have explained the current COVID-19 treatment options in Canada, being referred to as “vaccines”, were recently authorized as new drugs despite the absence of long-term data⁹. According to these accredited Canadian doctors, these treatment options did not meet the criteria of true vaccines until very recently when the definition of vaccine was changed^10,11. Without long-term data, these vaccines are still experimental. We believe the act of removing the rights and freedoms of citizens who refuse to participate in specific COVID-19 treatment options is a form of coercion.

The Criminal Code contains our country’s Criminal Offences and explains that a person commits an assault by intentionally applying force to someone else without that person’s consent¹². The Criminal Code further explains that consent is not obtained from a person who submits, or neglects to resist, on the grounds of authority being exercised over them¹³. How then can someone give proper consent to a COVID-19 treatment injection when doing so under the threat of losing their job, freedoms, or livelihood? Canadian courts have already ruled that medical treatment without proper informed consent is an assault¹⁴.

As law enforcement officers, we cannot in good conscience willingly participate in enforcing mandates that violate the laws of our country and breach the rights and freedoms of the people we protect.

LEST WE FORGET

Each year, on the 11th of November, we remember those who sacrificed their lives for our freedoms. From Flanders Field to Juno Beach, many Canadians have bled and died fighting tyrannical nations. We need to remember past events to prevent the repetition of history’s greatest mistakes.

On the 30th of September, we had the opportunity to reflect on such times during our first National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. Under the direction of the Government of Canada, RCMP members were once issued lawful orders to remove children from their homes and transport them to residential schools. Canada is still recovering from the impact of those decisions and actions. The RCMP has yet to regain the trust of some citizens.

There was a time when scientists believed humans were divided into racial hierarchies and that a person’s intelligence level and characteristics were determined by race¹⁵. These beliefs were not heavily contested and were widely accepted as scientific fact¹⁶. Phrenology was also widely accepted as being a legitimate scientific study¹⁷. These are not examples of science being wrong but of people conducting poor investigations or misunderstanding their findings. These are just two of several historical examples of widely accepted scientific truths, which became ridiculed practices.

We look back at those times of racial hierarchy and wonder how something so wrong could have been so widely accepted as truth. It is just as hard for many people to conceptualize how RCMP officers could have blindly followed lawful orders that devastated so many lives. Yet now we find ourselves in dangerous waters, when RCMP officers are being forced under coercion and duress to participate in actions they believe go against the spirit of Canadian laws.

We find it ironic that an organization that preaches the honour and respect of Canadian values, and the sacrifice of their veterans, would support actions that contradict the values our veterans fought to uphold. Enforcement of identification and checkpoints was an early step in what would become the Holocaust. Canadian citizens of various backgrounds are being segregated and punished for choosing not to disclose a personal medical decision. We cannot think of a more ironic and cruel way for our governments to pay homage to the sacrifices Canadians have made worldwide to protect individual freedoms than by participating in a process that takes those freedoms away.

Today, instead of having one version of scientific “truth” during this pandemic, we have versions that contradict one another. How can some professionals be so certain their interpretation of science is correct when others give evidence to the contrary? History has already demonstrated we get things wrong even when our scientists agree.

We acknowledge there is a spectrum filled with beliefs relating to this pandemic. For the sake of simplicity, we will refer to two main schools of thought: the common narrative (those who believe the current COVID-19 treatment injections are the way through the pandemic) and those who have concerns with the COVID-19 treatment injections. It’s important to note we are not discussing “antivaxxers” in this letter. We are discussing people with various vaccination statuses who pose questions about the current COVID-19 treatment options being forced upon them.

THE SCIENCE

RCMP members are not scientists nor healthcare professionals; our profession is law enforcement. We do not pretend to be experts in medical or scientific fields, but we are experienced and professional investigators: we look for the facts. Proper investigations follow simple practices that remain consistent across most fields. These practices include but are not limited to: asking the right questions, following evidence, being aware of how biases may affect results, and allowing the evidence to point to the conclusion – not allowing the conclusion to point to the evidence. Most importantly, a proper investigation should be conducted as objectively as possible and follow the principle that it is better to have questions that cannot be answered than to have answers that cannot be questioned. A complete investigation must include full disclosure of all the facts of the case, even contradictory evidence.

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused several scientists and medical professionals to provide us with information they described as “science”, “scientific”, or “facts”. The problem with many of these statements is that the provided information often contradicted another piece of “scientific fact” that an equally qualified professional had produced. This makes it near impossible for the average person to know what to believe and what not to believe.

As experienced investigators, we look past what information is provided and focus on how the information is presented. This allows us some insight into the credibility of the information. Some professionals make definitive statements such as “It’s safe and effective” or “This is the way”, giving little or no explanation of how they reached their conclusion. When the information provided is challenged or questioned, the response often indicates the answer is something that cannot be questioned. The CDC recently changed its definition of immunity and vaccine^10,11, allowing the current COVID-19 treatment injections to fit the definition. This is an example of actions taken when you allow your conclusion to point to your evidence.

Other qualified professionals have provided alternate pieces of information during this pandemic. It is not what their results were, but how they arrived at their results that we believe in. These professionals have all been able to articulate their findings quite well and are quick to admit the remaining questions they cannot answer. These professionals (from Canada¹⁸ and abroad¹⁹) have expressed warnings and concerns with the current COVID-19 treatment options condoned by the governments. Some of these concerns suggest a higher-than-average number of moderate to severe side-effects from the COVID-19 “vaccinations” compared with our traditional vaccinations¹⁹. Others have stated the current COVID-19 treatment options are proving to be less effective than initially believed^20,21.

We have attached several documents as appendices to this letter which contain information we believe raises reasonable concerns with the current COVID-19 vaccination mandates seen across our country. We encourage you to review the documents and the work each document references thoroughly. Though we understand we have provided a lot of material – which will take time and resources to read – we believe the fact that there is so much evidence opposing the mandatory roll-out of the current COVID-19 treatments is reason enough to take our concerns seriously.

There have also been scientific papers that suggest natural immunity is a better form of protection than what the COVID-19 vaccination can give^21-24. Why is antibody testing not being discussed as a potential option for RCMP members?

Here is a list of the documents we’ve attached to this letter. These documents are a sample of what is available and were written by people (or groups) of scientific or medical professionals in fields directly related to the COVID-19 pandemic. We defer to their expertise.

Appendix A– This is an open letter from Dr. Eric Payne, a pediatric neurologist in Alberta, to the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Alberta. In his letter, Dr. Payne highlights several inconsistencies he has found with the common narrative. Dr. Payne provides several sources from around the world throughout his letter.
Appendix B– This is the Canadian Covid Care Alliance Declaration. This heavily sourced document provides information on the current pandemic and makes recommendations based on their findings.
Appendix C– This is a letter from Dr. Byram Bridle, a viral immunologist in Ontario, to the President of the University of Guelph. Dr. Bridle uses his extensive experience and qualifications to explain his concerns with the common narrative surrounding the COVID-19 treatment injections. Dr. Bridle also articulates his concerns with the COVID-19 health mandates.
Appendix D– This is an open letter from Health Professionals United to the Alberta Health Services. The letter outlines reasons why several frontline healthcare workers in Alberta heavily oppose mandatory COVID-19 vaccination mandates.
Appendix E– This is an open letter from frontline healthcare workers in British Columbia to Dr. Bonnie Henry, Adrian Dix, and Premier John Horgan. The author(s) state their experiences and expertise are being ignored and ask that the vaccination mandates be revoked.
Appendix F– This is a report from Dr. Tess Lawrie from the United Kingdom. Dr. Lawrie demonstrates the abnormal number of reported adverse effects from the current COVID-19 treatment injections.
Appendix G– This is a comprehensive report comparing natural immunity to COVID-19 vs Vaccine-Induced Immunity. It was comprised from several scientists from Ontario and British Columbia.

CENSORSHIP

We are not against vaccinations, and we are trying to aid our country through this pandemic. We want to participate in a way that is safe for both our physical and mental well-being. We believe it is essential for people to participate with full informed consent by understanding all the risks of what they are being asked (or in this case forced) to participate in.

As experienced police officers, we have become accustomed to the media portraying us negatively or experienced the media misrepresenting the outcome of a police incident. It would be little to no surprise for us to hear that a media agency misreported an incident. However, it was surprising for us to learn that several of these scientists and doctors, who questioned the information fueling the COVID-19 treatment mandates, also spoke of censorship^25-27.

As experienced investigators, we know it is our responsibility to present all available facts to the public – by proxy of the courts. It is not our place to decide what the outcome of an investigation should be. Our job is to collect all available facts so that the public (the courts) can make an informed decision. We have learned from past mistakes that presenting evidence that only supports one side, while ignoring or refusing to acknowledge evidence from another side, is wrong and tarnishes an investigation. We cannot provide evidence from witnesses who agree on one story while ignoring or hiding the witnesses who agree on a different account of an incident.

It would be unthinkable that RCMP members would blatantly disregard witnesses in an investigation to mislead the courts. The investigation would lose all integrity and the members would be criticized. Why then are we allowing this same behaviour to occur by other public figures? There are accredited medical professionals from our own country who are desperately trying to have their findings heard. Instead of allowing these professionals to speak freely and discuss their results publicly, they are being silenced by governing bodies^25-27.

Our experience in law enforcement and as investigators have allowed us to see how crucial it is that these professionals be allowed to speak openly and publicly. Without the information being included in discussions, we believe the citizens of Canada (including RCMP members) are not receiving the information they need to make an informed decision. This is contrary to our laws and beliefs, and we do not support it.

These medical professionals have tried to stand up and support their country. We are now standing up and supporting them. They must be allowed to share their information publicly to maintain people’s faith in the government. If the people believe the government is continuing to censor experts, the country will fall into instability. This is common around the world in countries whose tyrannical governments sensor information from their people.

DISCRIMINATION

We strongly oppose the discrimination that has already begun to create segregation in our country. It has divided families, ended friendships, torn apart spouses, and entered the RCMP workplace. We believe the current messaging being put out by our provincial and federal governments is promoting the creation of an in-group referred to as “Vaccinated” and an out-group as “Unvaccinated”. Even worse, the out-group has been labelled “Anti-vaxxers,” a term used out of context in a negative and derogatory way. The messaging from our governments is causing the dehumanization of the “Unvaccinated” group. By dehumanizing the out-group, an institution creates a greater divide between them and the in-group.²⁸

Police agencies across Canada pride themselves in their efforts to hire officers reflective of the communities they serve. This allows community members to relate to their officers and see them as part of the community. We are representatives of our communities within the RCMP and representatives of the RCMP in our communities. Having a police force consisting only of “vaccinated” people while serving communities consisting of “unvaccinated” people will tear down some of the similarities RCMP members share with their communities. This will create a greater sense of “Us versus Them” between communities and police, which contradicts the community policing model the RCMP has strived to achieve for decades. We anticipate that unless this is corrected soon, it will continue to increase the divide in our country.

Dehumanizing individuals is challenging. It is easier to attach a label and stigma to a group. That way, anyone or anything that comes from the group can be written off²⁸. The term “Anti-vaxxer” is currently being used to mislabel and group people into a category to take away their credibility. This has allowed things to be written and said against this group that would be intolerable if written or said about any other group.

On August 26th, 2021, the Toronto Star ran an article that read in large bold letters, “I have no empathy left for the wilfully unvaccinated. Let them die. I honestly don’t care if they die from COVID. Not even a little bit. Unvaccinated patients do not deserve ICU beds. At this point, who cares. Stick the unvaccinated in a tent outside and tend to them when the staff has time.^29,30” If “willfully unvaccinated” was replaced with “Black”, “Gay”, or “willfully Muslim”, this would have been labelled a Hate Crime. How then can we allow such things to be said about people who choose not to receive a medical intervention? Should we allow the same messaging for those who choose not to get a flu shot one season?

The boldness of this statement being printed in a major newspaper shows how acceptable it is in our society to treat people as a lower class of citizens. As RCMP members, we must preserve peace in our communities and put a stop to this.

PHYSICAL AND MENTAL HEALTH

This pandemic has increasingly made people feel isolated from their friends, families, and peers. RCMP members already face higher levels of stress and mental illnesses due to the nature of our work. Members affected by the double-vaccination mandate have faced greater stress and isolation as they have watched their status as citizens and regular members begin to diminish. There is currently insufficient support for these members, and there does not seem to be a plan insight to provide adequate support.

The recent vaccination update has left some people feeling more isolated than ever. In times like this, people need support from a community, and our membership is no different. We fear there are more members afraid to speak up about these recent updates for fear of being targeted. Many members may be trying to stick this out on their own, or worse, suffering in silence. We ask that you attempt to reach out in partnership with the NPF to all members who may be negatively affected by these mandates and let them know their employer and governments support them.

Though most people seem to have little to no side effects from the COVID-19 treatment injections, an abnormal number of moderate to severe adverse reactions have included death³¹. What assurances are we given that the injections will not cause short or long-term side effects? Studies show that stress and sleep can play a huge factor in whether a vaccine is effective or not^32,33. Are you ensuring RCMP members are provided with the appropriate amount of rest before an injection? What steps will the RCMP take to ensure members are compensated for adverse side effects?

We also believe enough evidence has been presented to question whether our governments’ actions in this pandemic are the most appropriate. This is causing moral and ethical stressors for some members as they no longer believe their role as police officers is reflective of the democracy Canada claims to be. Mental health and stress levels will have an impact on how members interact with the public.

PARALLELING DOMESTIC VIOLENCE

The RCMP has taught us the importance and severity of domestic violence. Domestic violence is centred around power and control between an abuser and a victim. One of the biggest problems with domestic violence is there is often an escalation in the severity of abuse. RCMP members have been taught how to identify the signs that someone is involved in an abusive relationship. There are different types of abuse the abuser may engage in to keep control over their victim: Physical, Financial, and Emotional.

Emotional abuse is quite complex and will often include a variety of tactics such as socially distancing the victim from friends and family, discrediting the victim so they have difficulty obtaining support from others, and making the victim believe that their thoughts and beliefs are wrong – to the point the victim thinks they must be insane. When it comes to finances, an abuser will withhold money and assets from the victim. This ensures the victim cannot survive without remaining in the abusive relationship with the abuser. When an abuser feels they are losing control over their victim, it is quite common for them to escalate their tactics to maintain control.

The federal government is currently displaying several of those traits with its own employees, including the RCMP³⁴.

Commissioner Lucki, we understand your position is appointed, and we are concerned that you too may be subject to a similar relationship with the Prime Minister. Though you, as our top Mountie, should be impartial, you may be forced into supporting some of these actions out of duress. We ask that you do what we ask our domestic violence victims to do – to take a stand against the abuser. This country needs strong and supportive people in positions of authority. Please show Canadians that the RCMP will remain impartial to political agendas and true to the Charter and our Bill of Rights.

PUBLIC INTEREST

Lastly, we want to draw attention to the public safety issues that will arise if these COVID-19 mandates are upheld.

Pierre Elliot Trudeau once said, “There’s no place for the state in the bedrooms of the nation.³⁵” How is it our federal government is now saying it will be mandatory for employees working from home to receive the COVID-19 treatment injections?³⁶

Regardless of their vaccination statuses, there are RCMP members who feel the steps taken by the federal and provincial governments are too extreme and do not have the best interest of Canadian citizens. Forcing these mandates will cause several RCMP officers to lose faith in the federal government’s commitment to the Charter. These RCMP officers will not participate in actions they believe contradict their morals, ethics, and Canadian laws. These RCMP officers believe it is their responsibility to challenge the federal government in court if necessary.

The RCMP, which is already understaffed, will have additional gaps to fill across the country when these members are not working. Communities will have lost healthy and experienced officers, causing a decrease in available resources. There will also be an increase in taxpayers’ spending as the federal government attempts to fill these gaps. Being short-staffed will have a trickle-down effect causing fewer RCMP bodies to be available to properly recruit, assess, and conduct adequate background checks on potential cadets.

Our experience in law enforcement and as investigators have allowed us to see how crucial it is that professionals be allowed to speak openly and publicly. Without including their information in discussions, we believe the citizens of Canada (including RCMP members) are not receiving the information they need to make an informed decision. This is contrary to our laws and beliefs, and we do not support it.

We want to reiterate a point stated earlier in this letter, so it is remembered. If the people believe the government is continuing to censor experts, the country will fall into instability. We are experts in law enforcement and investigations. We are losing faith in the motives of our government, and we will not willingly participate in actions against people whose Charter rights and freedoms are being violated.

CALL TO ACTION

Commissioner Lucki, we ask that you represent the best image of the RCMP by remaining loyal to the Charter and Bill of Rights and not to any particular public figure. Our job as Mounties is to preserve the peace. If we continue down this road of segregation and discrimination, we risk repeating past mistakes. The divide in our society is quickly leaning toward a level of national security. We ask that you open an investigation to ensure no criminal acts were committed in the dissemination of information from federal and provincial health authorities or public figures in positions of trust. We ask you to send investigators to collect statements from medical professionals (and other reliable witnesses) who allege they had been silenced – putting lives at risk. Allow us to make this information publicly available to all so the public can scrutinize it and achieve informed consent. As Canada’s national police force, we are unique in our ability to conduct a large-scale cross-country investigation, which must be transparent to regain trust in the government.

We also ask that you challenge the Federal Government’s decision to send Mounties home without pay for decisions they’ve made on beliefs protected by Canadian laws. Neither the RCMP, nor the communities they serve, can endure the loss of experienced police officers.

We await your response and your plan of action.

Respectfully,

Mounties for Freedom

The Marc Patrone Show

NEWSTALK Sauga 960 AM

News

Weekday mornings, veteran journalist and former CRTC Commissioner Marc Patrone confirms political, news and business commentary can often be funny, insightful and entertaining. He takes a biting, timely and often-satirical view of our elected officials, uncovering the latter as flawed, misguided and selfishly power-hungry individuals. Marc examines trends by looking beneath the headlines to inform Canadians in plain English – what is really going on. Analysis informed by three decades of working in political journalism and broadcasting, Marc is a freedom-loving individual and argues Canadians need to understand the dangers of uncontrolled government growth, as he believes it poses a threat to democracy and the personal rights and freedoms of all Canadians. There is no such thing as “free” and Canadians are not always aware of the hidden price tag of runaway public debt, state control and the stifling of our rights and freedoms.

Desmond and Nirmala Naidoo as regional members of the CRTC. Their
extensive expertise in the industry will be strong assets to the CRTC.
I am confident that they will play a pivotal role in bringing forward
their respective region's perspectives. Congratulations to both of
you! These positions were previously occupied by Christopher MacDonald
and Linda Vennard, and I'd like to thank them both for the proven
leadership they displayed during their time at the CRTC."

> Xplornet looks forward to participating in the upcoming auctions.
> However, Xplornet believes that 700 MHz alone will not be able to meet

>> FYI. I took an interest in the Monteal Exchange for several
>> reasons today. First because of the crossborder doings of the liberal
>> government in New Brunswick in which my G.A.L..'s law firm partner Mr.
>> Gold is involved. Second is the CRTC hearings in Montreal (Do you know
>> who the fed Betty MacPhee and the lawyer, Martine Turcotte are?).
>> Third my research of what Frank Quattone and his old Bank in Beantown
>> is up to these days. (After I contacted his lawyers and he was
>> mysteriously released from jail, he made a very strange promise to the
>> FEDs indeed. All my bells and whistles went off) Last but not least
>> the results of the byelections in Quebec last night caused every
>> politcal animal in Canada worth his sand to rear his ugly head. Now
>> that every piltical wardog and moneyman political wardog smells
>> another Federal election coming, it is highttime that I pounce as
>> well. N'est Pas?
>>
>> In case you are wondering, here is the link to your document that
>> caused me to call you dudes in Montreal Exchange this morning.
>>
>> http://www.m-x.ca/f_circulaires_en/016-05_en.pdf
>>
>> May I suggest that you people print the attachments within this

>> Failing that, you should at least listen to some of the attachments in

>> Maritimer who does not like to be lied to and laughed at by people who
>> should know better.
>>
>> It seems that I must prove to you dudes within Bourse de
>> Montréal Inc. that I am a very quick study in order to get past your
>> assistants that claim everybody is in a meeting. You have no idea how
>> many times I have heard that bullshit over the course of the past six
>> years. Simply put, I will put up with that nonsense no more. So I
>> called you dudes back and managed to speak to a lawyer who claimed her
>> name was Hanh Ly. She obviously was not in a meeting as Jacques
>> Tanguay's assistant had claimed a moment earlier. EH? Ms. Ly claimed
>> that she was too busy to talk to me or look my name up on her computer
>> because she was dealing with some kind of emergency. So I simply told
>> her that I my concerns may become a somewhat bigger issue in short
>> order and that I would mention our little pow to her bosses. she was
>> not long finding me on the Internet then EH?
>>
>> That said I began my little study of your outfit as well. I
>> quickly saw that I have crossed paths with some of your Directors
>> byway of their other occupations. Thus there is no need to send you
>> dudes at Bourse de Montréal Inc. Hard Copy of my material at this
>> point in time. I should give you some time to respond to these emails
>> just in case you may wish to act ethically ASAP in the best interests
>> of all. Methinks that the only onus on me at this point in time is
>> prove byway of this email and the ones to follow that what I am the
>> man I told your lawyers I was and prove that I made contact with you
>> N'est Pas?
>>
>> Never forget Frank Quattone and Martha Stewart both went to a
>> Yankee jail partly because of minor evidence found within just one
>> email. More importantly to my clan and I, is the fact that I was
>> falsely imprisoned in the USA after running for a seat in the 38th
>> Parliament merely because I had sent emails proving what I said about
>> many wrongs is true.
>>
>> Part of my little study of you dudes caused me to take a far
>> greater interest in the Boston Options Exchange Group LLC (BOX because
>> of Luc Bertrand and Philippe Loumeau claimed association with it. i
>> had never heard of them before so I took and interesta and called
>> (866) 768-8845. I managed to talk to Nick Losurdo a very new lawyer
>> who just got a job with BOX. As soon as he could see that he was in
>> way over his head, he very quickly tried to falsely claim that I was
>> threatening him in someway. That said we very quickly resovoled that I
>> was not and I told him where he could begin to query the Yankee
>> dockets in his neck of the woods in order to study my work and act in
>> the best interests of BOX. I am very accustomed nasty lawyers and
>> their bullshit false allegations as you will soon see. The malice of
>> liars/lawyers is expected, the obvious question I must ask is why will
>> nobody else act within the scope of their employment as they play with
>> other people's money?
>>
>> Whereas Barbara Pike of AIMS called me back yesterday just to
>> call me a lair, I will send her nasty little Institute in the
>> Maritimes once again byway of her and her not so long departed and
>> soon to be back boss, Brian Lee Crowley what you Dudes in Montreal are

>>
>> http://www.aims.ca/aboutaims.asp?cmPageID=337

Moving forward with a public inquiry may provide relief for some, but
many questions remain. Jean Laroche and Michael Gorman decipher the
politics of the decision.

A lot of info to chew on - every now and then we win one - Today we

So-called Journalist Don Macpherson and the Daily Gleaner declares war against the Blogger!!!!!

I wanted to blogged this issue weeks ago but I was distracted by other matters.

I was VERY surprised when someone bought this story to my attention.

So-called Irving Journalist Don MacPherson from the Daily Gleaner called me a " LITIGANT "

Which I'm not sure what this means but It's sorta calling a person a low life or something like that?

I quickly email a letter to the Editor but Gisele McKnight refused my letter to the Editor explaining to the readers that I wasn't " A Litigant "

So? The Irvings decided to declare war against the Blogger?

I accept their challange.

In the old days, I would just write a letter to the Atlantic Press Council and the issue would be taken care of but that don't exist anymore.

Get ready for some Blogs against the Staff and ESPECIALLY so called Journalist Don Macpherson because this National Enquirer Style of Journalism must be confronted and put to a stop!

The Public must not allow a Newspapers call the Citizens names and they are not allowed to reply to their story.

This issue could be have been resolve but Gisele McKnight < Editor of Letters to the Editor > refuse to post my concerns.

Get ready for many Blogs against the Irving's Papers during the next few months!!!

If Don MacPherson wants to play games? I love games!!!!

Sigh.....all this could have been settle with a letter to the editor!!!

Truly stay tuned!!!

A LITIGANT is simply someone engaged in legal action.

Might want to look up the word IDIOT while you're at it!; 7:54 AM, January 18, 2013

Scott Agnew said...: My name is Scott Agnew Charles. Do with it what you want and call me any names you please. Fact remains, I'm not the one who declared war on a person and organization based on my own lack of understanding of the English language and inability to even bother to look in a dictionary when I don know the meaning of a word.

Nope, no need to inform yourself. just go with the tried and true, in your face, ignorant and misinformed Charles Leblanc style.; 8:03 AM, January 18, 2013

I remember you?

You were the coward I was suppose to meet at tim years ago but you never showed up!!!

Anonymous said...: http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/litigant

Litigant is simply someone involved in a lawsuit. It is neither a compliment nor an insult. It is simply a descriptive word.

Calm down and use some common sense before you fly off the handle. If you find a word you don't know/understand simply look it up. You obviously have access to the Internet and a wealth of web sites that provide dictionary services.; 9:24 AM, January 18, 2013
Anonymous said...: The word litigant is pretty broad, this should help in understanding the meaning and the context.

litigant n. any party to a lawsuit. This means plaintiff, defendant, petitioner, respondent, cross-complainant, and cross-defendant, but not a witness or attorney.

litigant noun adversary, adverse party, appellant, appellee, claimant, complainant, contender, contestant, controversialist, correspondent, defendant, disputant, intervenor, legal adverrary, legal opponent, litigationist, litigator, opponent, opponent in a lawsuit, party, party to a lawsuit, party to a legal action, party to a proceeding, party to a suit, party to an action, party to legal proceeding, petitioner, plaintiff, suitor, the defense.

Redneck Comment --> Don Macpherson should do something about his above average weight because of the additional health care cost that is associated with obesity health related issues, which can be just as costly as it is for smokers. F@#kin smokers.; 9:27 AM, January 18, 2013
Charles LeBlanc said...: I don't believe so because Don MacPherson always used this word as negative in his report to the Irvings...; 9:28 AM, January 18, 2013
mikel said...: I agree, Charles knows how to use the internet, so look it up-especially before writing a letter to the editor about it!

As the above poster points out, a litigant is somebody involved in a LAWSUIT-meaning civil court. So Charles is right to be upset, because he has NEVER been involved in a lawsuit. I don't see why it means a 'low life' or anything like that, but its not the proper term for what Charles was (is?).

So while you are belittling charles and calling him an idiot for not knowing what the term means, and not looking it up, just keep in mind that there is another person who fits that description, and he works as a reporter for the only print media in the province.

Which puts them on about an equal footing when it comes to news.; 9:39 AM, January 18, 2013
Anonymous said...: Mikel,

I'm aware of several community newspapers that the Irving's dont own in this province.

Plus anyone can start a print media anytime they want.; 10:19 AM, January 18, 2013
Anonymous said...: The Gleaner has reported self represented litigants very negatively recently and has not provided any balanced reporting on the issue of members of the public representing themselves in court, so Charles is right to take this as a negative comment about him. and Mikel is right - Charles did not "choose" to go to court for charges against him. He had no choice and when lawyers bail you have to keep going.; 10:48 AM, January 18, 2013
Anonymous said...: MacPherson used "Litigant" which means you're involved in lawsuits (or legal matters)

What I think Charles is confusing it with is "Litigious", which means you are "unreasonably prone to go to law to settle disputes."

Although they are similar, there's a big difference between the two, how they are used and what they mean.; 10:48 AM, January 18, 2013
Anonymous said...: He is using his newspaper for other reason than (just the facts) and putting him in with Andre Murray who has been denied any justice whatsoever and that's from a impartial viewpoint. This journalist is trying to put Charles in some sort of bad light light,like a disgruntled person with no point.

What a pile O crap!; 11:35 AM, January 18, 2013
mikel said...: Anybody CAN, but that's irrelevant, and its pretty much the only print media of note, and certainly the only one in Fredericton (and that's really besides the point I think).; 11:37 AM, January 18, 2013
Anonymous said...: The courts are getting hit with a wave of self represented people who dont have to follow court protocol and they are purposely frustrating people from further action.

They put up low level crap judges like Clendenning as gate keepers on the bottom rung,then at the higher level chief justices pretend to care by nodding so nicely at the litigants all the while their shredding the case in their minds before the trials begun.; 11:42 AM, January 18, 2013
Anonymous said...: With the help of corrupt Irving press the courts are attacking self represented parties for many reasons, including that: members of the public can stand up in court and tell the truth on the record without lawyers there to misrepresent the facts, to show; to show people they "need" lawyers to "win" in court (to keep charging big fat fees) and to prevent justice to cover up the serious corruption in the "establishment" of New Brunswick and Fredericton. I notice the Irving press has never informed the public of the judges' duty to direct and assist the self-represented, written by Beverly McLachlin, Chief Justice of Canada and endorsed by the Canadian Judicial Council.; 12:24 PM, January 18, 2013
André Faust said...: Irving not only owns the major news papers but owns most of the major printing presses/shops in the province.

So to try and produce your own paper you have to go out of province, but that takes time, by the time you send your layout flats, now day's is digital, the produce the paper and send it back the news is obsolete.

Yes in theory you produce your own paper but practically highly unlikely.

The other issue that happens if you try to produce your own news paper is advertisement to cover the cost of production. Irving has a very aggressive sales team, that as a small operator you can't compete with.

If you think Irving is bad look at the SUN news network, Corporate Harper's own propaganda machine. Look at this connection here is old Kory Teneycke, who is currently vice-president of Sun News Network.Interestingly enough He was the former director of communications for the Canadian Prime Minister's Office.

Lets turn the hand of clock back to 2010 for the CRTC licensing of Sun News. Konrad von Finckenstein (not Frankenstein) as Chair of the CRTC opposed the application, Harper forced him to his position as chair of the CRTC, as a Plum Harper offered him the position of ambassador. There is a lot more to this story as well, when you look at the backgrounds of the journalist working under the Suns banner, for example Ezra Levant, well known Sun Personality,, look at his background, Educated at the University of Calgary, where Harper was educated, was a key organizer for the reform party, advocated for the petroleum industry an has has declared to special interests groups such as aboriginal and bilingual groups. I could go through each the Suns media staff and for most show connections between Industry, Harper. the reform and the Conservative party. Enough said .. lol

>>> 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.

>> REASONS FOR JUDGMENT BY THE COURT
>>
>> I. Introduction
>>
>> [1] On September 16, 2015, David Raymond Amos (Mr. Amos)
>> filed a 53-page Statement of Claim (the Claim) in Federal Court
>> against Her Majesty the Queen (the Crown). Mr. Amos claims $11 million
>> in damages and a public apology from the Prime Minister and Provincial
>> Premiers for being illegally barred from accessing parliamentary
>> properties and seeks a declaration from the Minister of Public Safety
>> that the Canadian Government will no longer allow the Royal Canadian
>> Mounted Police (RCMP) and Canadian Forces to harass him and his clan
>> (Claim at para. 96).
>>
>> [2] On November 12, 2015 (Docket T-1557-15), by way of a
>> motion brought by the Crown, a prothonotary of the Federal Court (the
>> Prothonotary) struck the Claim in its entirety, without leave to
>> amend, on the basis that it was plain and obvious that the Claim
>> disclosed no reasonable claim, the Claim was fundamentally vexatious,
>> and the Claim could not be salvaged by way of further amendment (the
>> Prothontary’s Order).
>>
>>
>> [3] On January 25, 2016 (2016 FC 93), by way of Mr.
>> Amos’ appeal from the Prothonotary’s Order, a judge of the Federal
>> Court (the Judge), reviewing the matter de novo, struck all of Mr.
>> Amos’ claims for relief with the exception of the claim for damages
>> for being barred by the RCMP from the New Brunswick legislature in
>> 2004 (the Federal Court Judgment).
>>
>>
>> [4] Mr. Amos appealed and the Crown cross-appealed the
>> Federal Court Judgment. Further to the issuance of a Notice of Status
>> Review, Mr. Amos’ appeal was dismissed for delay on December 19, 2016.
>> As such, the only matter before this Court is the Crown’s
>> cross-appeal.
>>
>>
>> II. Preliminary Matter
>>
>> [5] Mr. Amos, in his memorandum of fact and law in
>> relation to the cross-appeal that was filed with this Court on March
>> 6, 2017, indicated that several judges of this Court, including two of
>> the judges of this panel, had a conflict of interest in this appeal.
>> This was the first time that he identified the judges whom he believed
>> had a conflict of interest in a document that was filed with this
>> Court. In his notice of appeal he had alluded to a conflict with
>> several judges but did not name those judges.
>>
>> [6] Mr. Amos was of the view that he did not have to
>> identify the judges in any document filed with this Court because he
>> had identified the judges in various documents that had been filed
>> with the Federal Court. In his view the Federal Court and the Federal
>> Court of Appeal are the same court and therefore any document filed in
>> the Federal Court would be filed in this Court. This view is based on
>> subsections 5(4) and 5.1(4) of the Federal Courts Act, R.S.C., 1985,
>> c. F-7:
>>
>>
>> 5(4) Every judge of the Federal Court is, by virtue of his or her
>> office, a judge of the Federal Court of Appeal and has all the
>> jurisdiction, power and authority of a judge of the Federal Court of
>> Appeal.
>> […]
>>
>> 5(4) Les juges de la Cour fédérale sont d’office juges de la Cour
>> d’appel fédérale et ont la même compétence et les mêmes pouvoirs que
>> les juges de la Cour d’appel fédérale.
>> […]
>> 5.1(4) Every judge of the Federal Court of Appeal is, by virtue of
>> that office, a judge of the Federal Court and has all the
>> jurisdiction, power and authority of a judge of the Federal Court.
>>
>> 5.1(4) Les juges de la Cour d’appel fédérale sont d’office juges de la
>> Cour fédérale et ont la même compétence et les mêmes pouvoirs que les
>> juges de la Cour fédérale.
>>
>>
>> [7] However, these subsections only provide that the
>> judges of the Federal Court are also judges of this Court (and vice
>> versa). It does not mean that there is only one court. If the Federal
>> Court and this Court were one Court, there would be no need for this
>> section.
>> [8] Sections 3 and 4 of the Federal Courts Act provide
>> that:
>> 3 The division of the Federal Court of Canada called the Federal Court
>> — Appeal Division is continued under the name “Federal Court of
>> Appeal” in English and “Cour d’appel fédérale” in French. It is
>> continued as an additional court of law, equity and admiralty in and
>> for Canada, for the better administration of the laws of Canada and as
>> a superior court of record having civil and criminal jurisdiction.
>>
>> 3 La Section d’appel, aussi appelée la Cour d’appel ou la Cour d’appel
>> fédérale, est maintenue et dénommée « Cour d’appel fédérale » en
>> français et « Federal Court of Appeal » en anglais. Elle est maintenue
>> à titre de tribunal additionnel de droit, d’equity et d’amirauté du
>> Canada, propre à améliorer l’application du droit canadien, et
>> continue d’être une cour supérieure d’archives ayant compétence en
>> matière civile et pénale.
>> 4 The division of the Federal Court of Canada called the Federal Court
>> — Trial Division is continued under the name “Federal Court” in
>> English and “Cour fédérale” in French. It is continued as an
>> additional court of law, equity and admiralty in and for Canada, for
>> the better administration of the laws of Canada and as a superior
>> court of record having civil and criminal jurisdiction.
>>
>> 4 La section de la Cour fédérale du Canada, appelée la Section de
>> première instance de la Cour fédérale, est maintenue et dénommée «
>> Cour fédérale » en français et « Federal Court » en anglais. Elle est
>> maintenue à titre de tribunal additionnel de droit, d’equity et
>> d’amirauté du Canada, propre à améliorer l’application du droit
>> canadien, et continue d’être une cour supérieure d’archives ayant
>> compétence en matière civile et pénale.
>>
>>
>> [9] Sections 3 and 4 of the Federal Courts Act create
>> two separate courts – this Court (section 3) and the Federal Court
>> (section 4). If, as Mr. Amos suggests, documents filed in the Federal
>> Court were automatically also filed in this Court, then there would no
>> need for the parties to prepare and file appeal books as required by
>> Rules 343 to 345 of the Federal Courts Rules, SOR/98-106 in relation
>> to any appeal from a decision of the Federal Court. The requirement to
>> file an appeal book with this Court in relation to an appeal from a
>> decision of the Federal Court makes it clear that the only documents
>> that will be before this Court are the documents that are part of that
>> appeal book.
>>
>>
>> [10] Therefore, the memorandum of fact and law filed on
>> March 6, 2017 is the first document, filed with this Court, in which
>> Mr. Amos identified the particular judges that he submits have a
>> conflict in any matter related to him.
>>
>>
>> [11] On April 3, 2017, Mr. Amos attempted to bring a motion
>> before the Federal Court seeking an order “affirming or denying the
>> conflict of interest he has” with a number of judges of the Federal
>> Court. A judge of the Federal Court issued a direction noting that if
>> Mr. Amos was seeking this order in relation to judges of the Federal
>> Court of Appeal, it was beyond the jurisdiction of the Federal Court.
>> Mr. Amos raised the Federal Court motion at the hearing of this
>> cross-appeal. The Federal Court motion is not a motion before this
>> Court and, as such, the submissions filed before the Federal Court
>> will not be entertained. As well, since this was a motion brought
>> before the Federal Court (and not this Court), any documents filed in
>> relation to that motion are not part of the record of this Court.
>>
>>
>> [12] During the hearing of the appeal Mr. Amos alleged that
>> the third member of this panel also had a conflict of interest and
>> submitted some documents that, in his view, supported his claim of a
>> conflict. Mr. Amos, following the hearing of his appeal, was also
>> afforded the opportunity to provide a brief summary of the conflict
>> that he was alleging and to file additional documents that, in his
>> view, supported his allegations. Mr. Amos submitted several pages of
>> documents in relation to the alleged conflicts. He organized the
>> documents by submitting a copy of the biography of the particular
>> judge and then, immediately following that biography, by including
>> copies of the documents that, in his view, supported his claim that
>> such judge had a conflict.
>>
>>
>> [13] The nature of the alleged conflict of Justice Webb is
>> that before he was appointed as a Judge of the Tax Court of Canada in
>> 2006, he was a partner with the law firm Patterson Law, and before
>> that with Patterson Palmer in Nova Scotia. Mr. Amos submitted that he
>> had a number of disputes with Patterson Palmer and Patterson Law and
>> therefore Justice Webb has a conflict simply because he was a partner
>> of these firms. Mr. Amos is not alleging that Justice Webb was
>> personally involved in or had any knowledge of any matter in which Mr.
>> Amos was involved with Justice Webb’s former law firm – only that he
>> was a member of such firm.
>>
>>
>> [14] During his oral submissions at the hearing of his
>> appeal Mr. Amos, in relation to the alleged conflict for Justice Webb,
>> focused on dealings between himself and a particular lawyer at
>> Patterson Law. However, none of the documents submitted by Mr. Amos at
>> the hearing or subsequently related to any dealings with this
>> particular lawyer nor is it clear when Mr. Amos was dealing with this
>> lawyer. In particular, it is far from clear whether such dealings were
>> after the time that Justice Webb was appointed as a Judge of the Tax
>> Court of Canada over 10 years ago.
>>
>>
>> [15] The documents that he submitted in relation to the
>> alleged conflict for Justice Webb largely relate to dealings between
>> Byron Prior and the St. John’s Newfoundland and Labrador office of
>> Patterson Palmer, which is not in the same province where Justice Webb
>> practiced law. The only document that indicates any dealing between
>> Mr. Amos and Patterson Palmer is a copy of an affidavit of Stephen May
>> who was a partner in the St. John’s NL office of Patterson Palmer. The
>> affidavit is dated January 24, 2005 and refers to a number of e-mails
>> that were sent by Mr. Amos to Stephen May. Mr. Amos also included a
>> letter that is addressed to four individuals, one of whom is John
>> Crosbie who was counsel to the St. John’s NL office of Patterson
>> Palmer. The letter is dated September 2, 2004 and is addressed to
>> “John Crosbie, c/o Greg G. Byrne, Suite 502, 570 Queen Street,
>> Fredericton, NB E3B 5E3”. In this letter Mr. Amos alludes to a
>> possible lawsuit against Patterson Palmer.
>> [16] Mr. Amos’ position is that simply because Justice Webb
>> was a lawyer with Patterson Palmer, he now has a conflict. In Wewaykum
>> Indian Band v. Her Majesty the Queen, 2003 SCC 45, [2003] 2 S.C.R.
>> 259, the Supreme Court of Canada noted that disqualification of a
>> judge is to be determined based on whether there is a reasonable
>> apprehension of bias:
>> 60 In Canadian law, one standard has now emerged as the
>> criterion for disqualification. The criterion, as expressed by de
>> Grandpré J. in Committee for Justice and Liberty v. National Energy
>> Board, …[[1978] 1 S.C.R. 369, 68 D.L.R. (3d) 716], at p. 394, is the
>> reasonable apprehension of bias:
>> … the apprehension of bias must be a reasonable one, held by
>> reasonable and right minded persons, applying themselves to the
>> question and obtaining thereon the required information. In the words
>> of the Court of Appeal, that test is "what would an informed person,
>> viewing the matter realistically and practically -- and having thought
>> the matter through -- conclude. Would he think that it is more likely
>> than not that [the decision-maker], whether consciously or
>> unconsciously, would not decide fairly."
>>
>> [17] The issue to be determined is whether an informed
>> person, viewing the matter realistically and practically, and having
>> thought the matter through, would conclude that Mr. Amos’ allegations
>> give rise to a reasonable apprehension of bias. As this Court has
>> previously remarked, “there is a strong presumption that judges will
>> administer justice impartially” and this presumption will not be
>> rebutted in the absence of “convincing evidence” of bias (Collins v.
>> Canada, 2011 FCA 140 at para. 7, [2011] 4 C.T.C. 157 [Collins]. See
>> also R. v. S. (R.D.), [1997] 3 S.C.R. 484 at para. 32, 151 D.L.R.
>> (4th) 193).
>>
>> [18] The Ontario Court of Appeal in Rando Drugs Ltd. v.
>> Scott, 2007 ONCA 553, 86 O.R. (3d) 653 (leave to appeal to the Supreme
>> Court of Canada refused, 32285 (August 1, 2007)), addressed the
>> particular issue of whether a judge is disqualified from hearing a
>> case simply because he had been a member of a law firm that was
>> involved in the litigation that was now before that judge. The Ontario
>> Court of Appeal determined that the judge was not disqualified if the
>> judge had no involvement with the person or the matter when he was a
>> lawyer. The Ontario Court of Appeal also explained that the rules for
>> determining whether a judge is disqualified are different from the
>> rules to determine whether a lawyer has a conflict:
>> 27 Thus, disqualification is not the natural corollary to a
>> finding that a trial judge has had some involvement in a case over
>> which he or she is now presiding. Where the judge had no involvement,
>> as here, it cannot be said that the judge is disqualified.
>>
>>
>> 28 The point can rightly be made that had Mr. Patterson been
>> asked to represent the appellant as counsel before his appointment to
>> the bench, the conflict rules would likely have prevented him from
>> taking the case because his firm had formerly represented one of the
>> defendants in the case. Thus, it is argued how is it that as a trial
>> judge Patterson J. can hear the case? This issue was considered by the
>> Court of Appeal (Civil Division) in Locabail (U.K.) Ltd. v. Bayfield
>> Properties Ltd., [2000] Q.B. 451. The court held, at para. 58, that
>> there is no inflexible rule governing the disqualification of a judge
>> and that, "[e]verything depends on the circumstances."
>>
>>
>> 29 It seems to me that what appears at first sight to be an
>> inconsistency in application of rules can be explained by the
>> different contexts and in particular, the strong presumption of
>> judicial impartiality that applies in the context of disqualification
>> of a judge. There is no such presumption in cases of allegations of
>> conflict of interest against a lawyer because of a firm's previous
>> involvement in the case. To the contrary, as explained by Sopinka J.
>> in MacDonald Estate v. Martin (1990), 77 D.L.R. (4th) 249 (S.C.C.),
>> for sound policy reasons there is a presumption of a disqualifying
>> interest that can rarely be overcome. In particular, a conclusory
>> statement from the lawyer that he or she had no confidential
>> information about the case will never be sufficient. The case is the
>> opposite where the allegation of bias is made against a trial judge.
>> His or her statement that he or she knew nothing about the case and
>> had no involvement in it will ordinarily be accepted at face value
>> unless there is good reason to doubt it: see Locabail, at para. 19.
>>
>>
>> 30 That brings me then to consider the particular circumstances
>> of this case and whether there are serious grounds to find a
>> disqualifying conflict of interest in this case. In my view, there are
>> two significant factors that justify the trial judge's decision not to
>> recuse himself. The first is his statement, which all parties accept,
>> that he knew nothing of the case when it was in his former firm and
>> that he had nothing to do with it. The second is the long passage of
>> time. As was said in Wewaykum, at para. 85:
>> To us, one significant factor stands out, and must inform
>> the perspective of the reasonable person assessing the impact of this
>> involvement on Binnie J.'s impartiality in the appeals. That factor is
>> the passage of time. Most arguments for disqualification rest on
>> circumstances that are either contemporaneous to the decision-making,
>> or that occurred within a short time prior to the decision-making.
>> 31 There are other factors that inform the issue. The Wilson
>> Walker firm no longer acted for any of the parties by the time of
>> trial. More importantly, at the time of the motion, Patterson J. had
>> been a judge for six years and thus had not had a relationship with
>> his former firm for a considerable period of time.
>>
>>
>> 32 In my view, a reasonable person, viewing the matter
>> realistically would conclude that the trial judge could deal fairly
>> and impartially with this case. I take this view principally because
>> of the long passage of time and the trial judge's lack of involvement
>> in or knowledge of the case when the Wilson Walker firm had carriage.
>> In these circumstances it cannot be reasonably contended that the
>> trial judge could not remain impartial in the case. The mere fact that
>> his name appears on the letterhead of some correspondence from over a
>> decade ago would not lead a reasonable person to believe that he would
>> either consciously or unconsciously favour his former firm's former
>> client. It is simply not realistic to think that a judge would throw
>> off his mantle of impartiality, ignore his oath of office and favour a
>> client - about whom he knew nothing - of a firm that he left six years
>> earlier and that no longer acts for the client, in a case involving
>> events from over a decade ago.
>> (emphasis added)
>>
>> [19] Justice Webb had no involvement with any matter
>> involving Mr. Amos while he was a member of Patterson Palmer or
>> Patterson Law, nor does Mr. Amos suggest that he did. Mr. Amos made it
>> clear during the hearing of this matter that the only reason for the
>> alleged conflict for Justice Webb was that he was a member of
>> Patterson Law and Patterson Palmer. This is simply not enough for
>> Justice Webb to be disqualified. Any involvement of Mr. Amos with
>> Patterson Law while Justice Webb was a member of that firm would have
>> had to occur over 10 years ago and even longer for the time when he
>> was a member of Patterson Palmer. In addition to the lack of any
>> involvement on his part with any matter or dispute that Mr. Amos had
>> with Patterson Law or Patterson Palmer (which in and of itself is
>> sufficient to dispose of this matter), the length of time since
>> Justice Webb was a member of Patterson Law or Patterson Palmer would
>> also result in the same finding – that there is no conflict in Justice
>> Webb hearing this appeal.
>>
>> [20] Similarly in R. v. Bagot, 2000 MBCA 30, 145 Man. R.
>> (2d) 260, the Manitoba Court of Appeal found that there was no
>> reasonable apprehension of bias when a judge, who had been a member of
>> the law firm that had been retained by the accused, had no involvement
>> with the accused while he was a lawyer with that firm.
>>
>> [21] In Del Zotto v. Minister of National Revenue, [2000] 4
>> F.C. 321, 257 N.R. 96, this court did find that there would be a
>> reasonable apprehension of bias where a judge, who while he was a
>> lawyer, had recorded time on a matter involving the same person who
>> was before that judge. However, this case can be distinguished as
>> Justice Webb did not have any time recorded on any files involving Mr.
>> Amos while he was a lawyer with Patterson Palmer or Patterson Law.
>>
>> [22] Mr. Amos also included with his submissions a CD. He
>> stated in his affidavit dated June 26, 2017 that there is a “true copy
>> of an American police surveillance wiretap entitled 139” on this CD.
>> He has also indicated that he has “provided a true copy of the CD
>> entitled 139 to many American and Canadian law enforcement authorities
>> and not one of the police forces or officers of the court are willing
>> to investigate it”. Since he has indicated that this is an “American
>> police surveillance wiretap”, this is a matter for the American law
>> enforcement authorities and cannot create, as Mr. Amos suggests, a
>> conflict of interest for any judge to whom he provides a copy.
>>
>> [23] As a result, there is no conflict or reasonable
>> apprehension of bias for Justice Webb and therefore, no reason for him
>> to recuse himself.
>>
>> [24] Mr. Amos alleged that Justice Near’s past professional
>> experience with the government created a “quasi-conflict” in deciding
>> the cross-appeal. Mr. Amos provided no details and Justice Near
>> confirmed that he had no prior knowledge of the matters alleged in the
>> Claim. Justice Near sees no reason to recuse himself.
>>
>> [25] Insofar as it is possible to glean the basis for Mr.
>> Amos’ allegations against Justice Gleason, it appears that he alleges
>> that she is incapable of hearing this appeal because he says he wrote
>> a letter to Brian Mulroney and Jean Chrétien in 2004. At that time,
>> both Justice Gleason and Mr. Mulroney were partners in the law firm
>> Ogilvy Renault, LLP. The letter in question, which is rude and angry,
>> begins with “Hey you two Evil Old Smiling Bastards” and “Re: me suing
>> you and your little dogs too”. There is no indication that the letter
>> was ever responded to or that a law suit was ever commenced by Mr.
>> Amos against Mr. Mulroney. In the circumstances, there is no reason
>> for Justice Gleason to recuse herself as the letter in question does
>> not give rise to a reasonable apprehension of bias.
>>
>>
>> III. Issue
>>
>> [26] The issue on the cross-appeal is as follows: Did the
>> Judge err in setting aside the Prothonotary’s Order striking the Claim
>> in its entirety without leave to amend and in determining that Mr.
>> Amos’ allegation that the RCMP barred him from the New Brunswick
>> legislature in 2004 was capable of supporting a cause of action?
>>
>> IV. Analysis
>>
>> A. Standard of Review
>>
>> [27] Following the Judge’s decision to set aside the
>> Prothonotary’s Order, this Court revisited the standard of review to
>> be applied to discretionary decisions of prothonotaries and decisions
>> made by judges on appeals of prothonotaries’ decisions in Hospira
>> Healthcare Corp. v. Kennedy Institute of Rheumatology, 2016 FCA 215,
>> 402 D.L.R. (4th) 497 [Hospira]. In Hospira, a five-member panel of
>> this Court replaced the Aqua-Gem standard of review with that
>> articulated in Housen v. Nikolaisen, 2002 SCC 33, [2002] 2 S.C.R. 235
>> [Housen]. As a result, it is no longer appropriate for the Federal
>> Court to conduct a de novo review of a discretionary order made by a
>> prothonotary in regard to questions vital to the final issue of the
>> case. Rather, a Federal Court judge can only intervene on appeal if
>> the prothonotary made an error of law or a palpable and overriding
>> error in determining a question of fact or question of mixed fact and
>> law (Hospira at para. 79). Further, this Court can only interfere with
>> a Federal Court judge’s review of a prothonotary’s discretionary order
>> if the judge made an error of law or palpable and overriding error in
>> determining a question of fact or question of mixed fact and law
>> (Hospira at paras. 82-83).
>>
>> [28] In the case at bar, the Judge substituted his own
>> assessment of Mr. Amos’ Claim for that of the Prothonotary. This Court
>> must look to the Prothonotary’s Order to determine whether the Judge
>> erred in law or made a palpable and overriding error in choosing to
>> interfere.
>>
>>
>> B. Did the Judge err in interfering with the
>> Prothonotary’s Order?
>>
>> [29] The Prothontoary’s Order accepted the following
>> paragraphs from the Crown’s submissions as the basis for striking the
>> Claim in its entirety without leave to amend:
>>
>> 17. Within the 96 paragraph Statement of Claim, the Plaintiff
>> addresses his complaint in paragraphs 14-24, inclusive. All but four
>> of those paragraphs are dedicated to an incident that occurred in 2006
>> in and around the legislature in New Brunswick. The jurisdiction of
>> the Federal Court does not extend to Her Majesty the Queen in right of
>> the Provinces. In any event, the Plaintiff hasn’t named the Province
>> or provincial actors as parties to this action. The incident alleged
>> does not give rise to a justiciable cause of action in this Court.
>> (…)
>>
>>
>> 21. The few paragraphs that directly address the Defendant
>> provide no details as to the individuals involved or the location of
>> the alleged incidents or other details sufficient to allow the
>> Defendant to respond. As a result, it is difficult or impossible to
>> determine the causes of action the Plaintiff is attempting to advance.
>> A generous reading of the Statement of Claim allows the Defendant to
>> only speculate as to the true and/or intended cause of action. At
>> best, the Plaintiff’s action may possibly be summarized as: he
>> suspects he is barred from the House of Commons.
>> [footnotes omitted].
>>
>>
>> [30] The Judge determined that he could not strike the Claim
>> on the same jurisdictional basis as the Prothonotary. The Judge noted
>> that the Federal Court has jurisdiction over claims based on the
>> liability of Federal Crown servants like the RCMP and that the actors
>> who barred Mr. Amos from the New Brunswick legislature in 2004
>> included the RCMP (Federal Court Judgment at para. 23). In considering
>> the viability of these allegations de novo, the Judge identified
>> paragraph 14 of the Claim as containing “some precision” as it
>> identifies the date of the event and a RCMP officer acting as
>> Aide-de-Camp to the Lieutenant Governor (Federal Court Judgment at
>> para. 27).
>>
>>
>> [31] The Judge noted that the 2004 event could support a
>> cause of action in the tort of misfeasance in public office and
>> identified the elements of the tort as excerpted from Meigs v. Canada,
>> 2013 FC 389, 431 F.T.R. 111:
>>
>>
>> [13] As in both the cases of Odhavji Estate v Woodhouse, 2003 SCC
>> 69 [Odhavji] and Lewis v Canada, 2012 FC 1514 [Lewis], I must
>> determine whether the plaintiffs’ statement of claim pleads each
>> element of the alleged tort of misfeasance in public office:
>>
>> a) The public officer must have engaged in deliberate and unlawful
>> conduct in his or her capacity as public officer;
>>
>> b) The public officer must have been aware both that his or her
>> conduct was unlawful and that it was likely to harm the plaintiff; and
>>
>> c) There must be an element of bad faith or dishonesty by the public
>> officer and knowledge of harm alone is insufficient to conclude that a
>> public officer acted in bad faith or dishonestly.
>> Odhavji, above, at paras 23, 24 and 28
>> (Federal Court Judgment at para. 28).
>>
>> [32] The Judge determined that Mr. Amos disclosed sufficient
>> material facts to meet the elements of the tort of misfeasance in
>> public office because the actors, who barred him from the New
>> Brunswick legislature in 2004, including the RCMP, did so for
>> “political reasons” (Federal Court Judgment at para. 29).
>>
>> [33] This Court’s discussion of the sufficiency of pleadings
>> in Merchant Law Group v. Canada (Revenue Agency), 2010 FCA 184, 321
>> D.L.R (4th) 301 is particularly apt:
>>
>> …When pleading bad faith or abuse of power, it is not enough to
>> assert, baldly, conclusory phrases such as “deliberately or
>> negligently,” “callous disregard,” or “by fraud and theft did steal”.
>> “The bare assertion of a conclusion upon which the court is called
>> upon to pronounce is not an allegation of material fact”. Making bald,
>> conclusory allegations without any evidentiary foundation is an abuse
>> of process…
>>
>> To this, I would add that the tort of misfeasance in public office
>> requires a particular state of mind of a public officer in carrying
>> out the impunged action, i.e., deliberate conduct which the public
>> officer knows to be inconsistent with the obligations of his or her
>> office. For this tort, particularization of the allegations is
>> mandatory. Rule 181 specifically requires particularization of
>> allegations of “breach of trust,” “wilful default,” “state of mind of
>> a person,” “malice” or “fraudulent intention.”
>> (at paras. 34-35, citations omitted).
>>
>> [34] Applying the Housen standard of review to the
>> Prothonotary’s Order, we are of the view that the Judge interfered
>> absent a legal or palpable and overriding error.
>>
>> [35] The Prothonotary determined that Mr. Amos’ Claim
>> disclosed no reasonable claim and was fundamentally vexatious on the
>> basis of jurisdictional concerns and the absence of material facts to
>> ground a cause of action. Paragraph 14 of the Claim, which addresses
>> the 2004 event, pleads no material facts as to how the RCMP officer
>> engaged in deliberate and unlawful conduct, knew that his or her
>> conduct was unlawful and likely to harm Mr. Amos, and acted in bad
>> faith. While the Claim alleges elsewhere that Mr. Amos was barred from
>> the New Brunswick legislature for political and/or malicious reasons,
>> these allegations are not particularized and are directed against
>> non-federal actors, such as the Sergeant-at-Arms of the Legislative
>> Assembly of New Brunswick and the Fredericton Police Force. As such,
>> the Judge erred in determining that Mr. Amos’ allegation that the RCMP
>> barred him from the New Brunswick legislature in 2004 was capable of
>> supporting a cause of action.
>>
>> [36] In our view, the Claim is made up entirely of bare
>> allegations, devoid of any detail, such that it discloses no
>> reasonable cause of action within the jurisdiction of the Federal
>> Courts. Therefore, the Judge erred in interfering to set aside the
>> Prothonotary’s Order striking the claim in its entirety. Further, we

>> 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.

Steve Drost Elected President of CUPE NB

This Saturday April 24 2021, Steve Drost has been elected for a 2-year term as provincial president of the New Brunswick Division of the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE NB). More than 200 delegates, representing CUPE locals from across the province, elected Drost to lead New Brunswick’s largest union. The vote was conducted Saturday afternoon at CUPE NB’s 58^th annual convention, which took place virtually, Friday and Saturday.

“I will do my best each and every day for all our members, to make sure we are truly listening and making CUPE NB a grassroots, member driven Division. I am honoured to be your president,” said Drost to delegates. Drost, who has been vice-president of CUPE NB for the last two years, takes the place of President Brien Watson.

“I have been working for over 44 years in the education sector, so I am looking forward for retirement,” said Brien Watson. “I wish Steve all the best in his new role,” said Watson.

“It’s an honour to follow in the foots steps of Brother Watson, who diligently served his 2-year term as Division President. He picked up the “Bargaining Forward” campaign, and took head-on the enormous curveball that is COVID-19,” said Drost.

Sharon Teare, herself a Personal Care worker at St John & St Stephen Home in Saint John and President of the NB Council of Nursing Home Unions, has been elected for a one-year term as CUPE NB’s First Vice-President. Drost and Teare will join Kim Copp on the CUPE NB inner executive. Copp is currently the CUPE NB Secretary Treasurer and works as an LPN at the Forestdale Home in Riverside Albert.

“With those two great leaders by my side, we have what it takes to mount the challenge against Blaine Higgs’s “Zeros for our Heroes” wage freeze plans and his anti-worker politics,” said Drost.

Drost has been president of CUPE Local 1418, Rehabilitation and Therapy since 2013. He began his career as a practising social worker in 1988. At present he is a Clinical 3 Social Worker and has been practising front line Social Work in Child Welfare his entire career.

“Brother Drost is a dedicated activist. I’m confident our Division and the labour movement will grow even stronger under his leadership,” said Brien Watson.

I have been arguing the budget and pensions with Higgs and his cohorts
for years. The most memorable time was a after a debate with Rob Moore
the lawyer buddy of Higgs during the last federal election. I had some
fun but I bet Higgs was sorry he crossed paths with me that night. In
the last election during the only debate I was allowed to participate
in I explained again how I would go about us getting us out of debt
overnight and stop the lawsuits by merely honouring the deal with the
bureaucrats and teachers etc and their pension plans Bruce Northrup
nor anyone else dared to argue the common sense of such a simple idea.
I also repeated the simple idea on Rogers TV and it still can be
viewed to this very day.

Is anybody curious?

Well as the people elected them and not you, I’d say they won that
debate, despite your evisiknist history. Heck they won it without even
needing to talk.

I posted this in reply to another poster on a different story but it
applies here as well.

"Johnny boy likes to argue. He likes to take the opposing side of any
topic and put his own oddball spin on it and then hang on with all his
might, kinda like a pitbull with it's jaws clamped down on whatever
victim it chooses, making stuff up as he goes along and most people
fall right into his trap engaging him while he giggles with glee at
the attention he's getting.

There is a word for this kind of behaviour on internet boards but CBC
doesn't like anyone to use it as they seem to enjoy the results that
it brings."

It'll be final in his own mind. Time to call a new provincial

What other choices are there, the greens and ndp will do the exact

he was running in my riding.

Reply to @Ben Haroldson:
The whole problem with turfing governments every four or eight years
is that they don’t have time to get anything accomplished in terms of
real change. They spend their time trying to undo the mess the
previous government left behind.

Yep cause there aren’t enough deaths due to guns in Toronto. Nobody
NEEDS a gun. People want them sure but they don’t need them.

Reply to @Johnny Horton: Coruption is the problem. Doesn't matter who
gets in fed, or prov, every one of them passes through the event

Raising a Little Hell- Lively Debate Provokes Crowd
By Erin Hatfield

"If you don't like what you got, why don't you change it? If your
world is all screwed up, rearrange it."

The 1979 Trooper song Raise a Little Hell blared on the speakers at
the 8th Hussars Sports Center Friday evening as people filed in to
watch the Fundy candidates debate the issues. It was an accurate, if
unofficial, theme song for the debate.

The crowd of over 200 spectators was dwarfed by the huge arena, but as
they chose their seats, it was clear the battle lines were drawn.
Supporters of Conservative candidate Rob Moore naturally took the blue
chairs on the right of the rink floor while John Herron's Liberalswent
left. There were splashes of orange, supporters of NDP Pat Hanratty,
mixed throughout. Perhaps the loudest applause came from a row towards
the back, where supporters of independent candidate David Amos sat."

"Staying true to party platforms for the most part, candidates
responded to questions about the gun registry, same sex marriage, the
exodus of young people from the Maritimes and regulated gas prices.
Herron and Moore were clear competitors,constantly challenging each
other on their answers and criticizing eachothers’ party leaders.
Hanratty flew under the radar, giving short, concise responses to the
questions while Amos provided some food for thought and a bit of comic
relief with quirky answers. "I was raised with a gun," Amos said in
response to the question of the national gun registry. "Nobody's
getting mine and I'm not paying 10 cents for it."

You mean how the liberals promised an inquiry until they got into
power and shut one down so the citizens couldn’t delve into the deal
they made for $338 million while having lost $700m on the

Seems a significant number of Higgs appointments are Irving people. He
treats bargaining like the Irvings too. Welcome to the New Irving
government. I believe the others parties should defeat him and he'd be
thrown out of office. But that won't happen because they have a say in
this Minority Government and probably wouldn't have a say after a new
election.

Can one not like either? Must one spell thst our in every single post,

Although I do support both parties limiting the raise to 1% like all
the other groups got.

I do find it very hypocritical though that suddenly the liberals want
blood on this file. It’s just so bloody transparent politics. For
something hike in power, against it while not in power. Thst goes for
many things including in this case, patronage sppoitments and the 1%

The Unconventional Candidate

David Amos Isn’t Campaigning For Your Vote, But….

By Gisele McKnight

FUNDY—He has a pack of cigarettes in his shirt pocket, a chain on his
wallet, a beard at least a foot long, 60 motorcycles and a cell phone
that rings to the tune of "Yankee Doodle."

Meet the latest addition to the Fundy ballot—David Amos.

The independent candidate lives in Milton, Massachusetts with his wife
and two children, but his place of residence does not stop him from
running for office in Canada.

One has only to be at least 18, a Canadian citizen and not be in jail
to meet Elections Canada requirements.

When it came time to launch his political crusade, Amos chose his
favourite place to do so—Fundy.

Amos, 52, is running for political office because of his
dissatisfaction with politicians.

"I’ve become aware of much corruption involving our two countries," he
said. "The only way to fix corruption is in the political forum."

The journey that eventually led Amos to politics began in Sussex in
1987. He woke up one morning disillusioned with life and decided he
needed to change his life.

"I lost my faith in mankind," he said. "People go through that
sometimes in midlife."

So Amos, who’d lived in Sussex since 1973, closed his Four Corners
motorcycle shop, paid his bills and hit the road with Annie, his 1952
Panhead motorcycle.

"Annie and I rode around for awhile (three years, to be exact)
experiencing the milk of human kindness," he said. "This is how you
renew your faith in mankind – you help anyone you can, you never ask
for anything, but you take what they offer."

David Raymond Amos

Reply to @David Raymond Amos:

For those three years, they offered food, a place to sleep, odd jobs
and conversation all over North America.

Since he and Annie stopped wandering, he has married, fathered a son
and a daughter and become a house-husband – Mr. Mom, as he calls
himself.

He also describes himself in far more colourful terms—a motorcyclist
rather than a biker, a "fun-loving, free-thinking, pig-headed
individual," a "pissed-off Maritimer" rather than an activist, a proud
Canadian and a "wild colonial boy."

Ironically, the man who is running for office has never voted in his life.

"But I have no right to criticize unless I offer my name," he said.
"It’s alright to ***** in the kitchen, but can you walk the walk?"

What he’s fighting for is the discussion of issues – tainted blood,
the exploitation of the Maritimes’ gas and oil reserves and NAFTA, to
name a few.

"The political issues in the Maritimes involve the three Fs – fishing,
farming and forestry, but they forget foreign issues," he said. "I’m
death on NAFTA, the back room deals and free trade. I say chuck it
(NAFTA) out the window.

NAFTA is the North American Free Trade Agreement which allows an
easier flow of goods between Canada, the United States and Mexico.

Amos disagrees with the idea that a vote for him is a wasted vote.

"There are no wasted votes," he said. "I want people like me,
especially young people, to pay attention and exercise their right.
Don’t necessarily vote for me, but vote."

Although…if you’re going to vote anyway, Amos would be happy to have
your X by his name.

"I want people to go into that voting booth, see my name, laugh and
say, ‘what the hell.’"

Premier Higgs heard CUPE members loud and clear

Nov 2, 2021

Over 5,000 striking frontline workers, CUPE leaders from other provinces and supporters marched on the New Brunswick legislature to send a message to Premier Blaine Higgs and the governing PC Party. That message was heard loud and clear as it was reported by news outlets that the crowd noise and speeches from outside could be heard throughout the building.

MLAs were returning to the legislature on what was supposed to be the opening day of the new legislative session, however, Premier Higgs announced earlier that they would cancel the throne speech and extend the previous session. Many expected this move would set the stage for the announcement of back to work legislation. However, no such legislation was announced.

The rally began after two separate marches of frontline workers and supporters converged on the steps of the legislature. CUPENB President Steve Drost addressed the crowd, reminding frontline workers that they hold the power when they work together. He introduced the presidents of all 10 striking locals, who called upon their members in the crowd to make themselves heard. CUPE Maritimes Regional Director Sandy Harding called Premier Higgs out to a bargaining table that was set up at the steps and read out the last bargaining positions before Higgs had walked away from negotiations.

CUPE’s National President Mark Hancock delivered an energetic speech, calling out Premier Higgs for his allegiances to the billionaire Irving Family and correcting the premier on his claim that the strike is being run by the “CUPE National machine”. “The CUPE machine,” Hancock said, “is each and every one of you who voted to take strike action and are walking picket lines until the government pays you what you’re worth.” National Secretary Charles Fleury also addressed the crowd, strengthening the striking workers’ resolve proclaiming that “sometimes we have no choice but to take to the streets, and we’ll stay on the streets until we get the contract we deserve.”

The province-wide strike will enter its sixth day tomorrow. CUPE New Brunswick’s Central Bargaining Team is still waiting for the Higgs government to return to the bargaining table.

CUPE joins court challenge over violation of Charter rights by the Province of New Brunswick

Jun 10, 2016

Fredericton, NB– The Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) has served the province of New Brunswick with a Notice of Motion to intervene in a lawsuit launched by the Professional Institute of the Public Service of Canada (PIPSC) against the unilateral conversion of the province’s Public Service Pension Plan into a Shared Risk Pension Plan.

“The rights of CUPE members and many other public sector workers were violated when the government unilaterally imposed pension changes on workers, in violation of their right to free collective bargaining,” said Daniel Légère, president of CUPENB.

In December of 2013, the Province adopted Bill 11 - An Act Respecting Pensions which converted the province’s pension plan - to which CUPE’s members belong - into a so-called ‘shared risk’ pension plan. Far from sharing risk, however, the effect of the conversion was to reduce benefits and shift substantial pension risk from the province to CUPE members and other public servants.

The conversion significantly reduced the benefits provided by the pension plan, significantly reduced the security of benefits and barred any collective agreement provisions that could improve members’ pension benefits in the future.

“These changes violated our members’ rights under section 2(d) of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms (the “Charter”),” said Légère. “CUPE fully supports this court challenge and will intervene to defend our members’ rights.”

A Statement of Claim filed by PIPSC in February of this year alleges that the statutory imposition of the shared risk model, together with the denial of fundamental collective bargaining rights, substantially interfere with the guarantee of freedom of association protected by section 2(d) of the Charter. CUPE’s intervention will support the challenge on that basis.

CUPE has also sought full disclosure under the Province’s Right to Information and Protection of Privacy Act in accordance with the government’s promise of transparency and openness in regard to the conversion. However, notwithstanding findings in favour of disclosure by the Province’s Office of the Access to Information and Privacy Commissioner in a decision dated March 4, 2016, access to conversion relevant materials has so far been denied.

Outgoing CUPE NB president Daniel Légère praised as “an elevater”

byTracy Glynn

April 17, 2019

A chapter in the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) New Brunswick’s history has closed with Daniel Légère’s end of tenure as the union’s president. Labour leaders and social justice advocates in New Brunswick are remembering his time as president as a remarkable one for leadership and solidarity.

At the CUPE NB Convention in Fredericton on April 11, members of the province’s largest union elected a new president, Brien Watson. Watson will replace Légère, who held the position for 14 years.

Patrick Colford, president of the New Brunswick Federation of Labour, calls Légère “an elevater.”

“As Nelson Mandela once said, ‘It is better to lead from behind and to put others in front, especially when you celebrate victory when nice things occur. You take the front line when there is danger. Then people will appreciate your leadership.’ This quote summarizes Danny Légère’s leadership style. He has always been an elevater, lifting people up and helping them both realize their full potential and ensuring that they reach their potential,” says Colford.

Légère’s union activism began the day he became a worker almost 40 years ago. As a correctional officer in St. Hilaire, he became the shop steward and was supporting worker grievances before he had even passed his probationary period.

Sandy Harding, Vice-President of CUPE NB, says, “Danny is a principled, passionate and dedicated leader. During his 14 years as CUPE NB president, he grew the membership and engaged workers the likes of which has not been seen in decades. He left CUPE NB in a better and stronger place.”

Making L’Acadie Nouvelle’s top 30 list of most influential New Brunswick francophones in 2017 and 2018, Légère has been a spokesperson for better wages and pensions, pay equity, new legislation on first contract arbitration and a critical voice against privatization of health care and public services.

Not only a fierce defender of his union’s membership, which includes nursing home workers, health care workers, child care providers, school bus drivers, librarians and other workers across the province, Légère can also be found on picket lines and rallies in solidarity with other workers and marginalized groups here in New Brunswick and across the world.

Photo: Tracy Glynn.

David Frank, a labour historian, notes Légère’s social unionism. According to Frank, “The most important thing to know about Danny Légère is that he came up through the ranks of a union that values active membership engagement at all levels, from its locals and councils to the provincial division. As a leader, he has helped make CUPE NB a strong voice for the kind of social unionism that advances the interests of all working people in the province.”

A strong supporter of CUPE’s global justice campaigns, Légère is also active with the New Democratic Party and the Common Front for Social Justice, the province’s largest anti-poverty group.

Légère has joined other union leaders and students to protest the Canada-Colombia Free Trade Agreement, extended his support to Colombian and Filipino workers at times that called for cross-border worker solidarity, and joined Mi’kmaq and Wolastoqiyik peoples and allies at Idle No More actions.

“Danny has been a friend, a mentor, and a confident to so many during his tenure as CUPE NB president. He will leave a huge void there, but with his leadership and mentoring he has paved away for other leaders to take the reins. Danny has garnered the respect of Canadians from coast to coast to coast. His legacy will live on throughout the labour movement for many, many years to come,” says Colford.

Tracy Glynn, an editorial board member of the NB Media Co-op, has worked with Daniel Légère in numerous coalitions and networks, including in solidarity with workers in Colombia.

Open Letter to Premier Higgs-Land Acknowledgments

Hon. Blaine Higgs
Premier, Government of New Brunswick
Chancery Place
P.O. Box 6000
Fredericton, NB E3B 5H1

(Open letter)

October 20, 2021

Dear Premier Higgs,

We [I] would like to begin by acknowledging that we are in Mi’kma’ki, the ancestral and unceded territory of the Mi’kmaq People. This territory is covered by the “Treaties of Peace and Friendship” which Mi’kmaq Wəlastəkwiyik (Maliseet), and Passamaquoddy Peoples first signed with the British Crown in 1726. (NBFL Land Acknowledgment)

Like many union, social and community organizations, the New Brunswick Federation of Labour (NBFL) starts all of its meetings and events with a land acknowledgment. We believe that this is an important step towards reconciliation by acknowledging a historical fact.

I was pleased to see the significant presence of Indigenous peoples at the New Brunswick Day celebrations this year. I was hopeful that our government was taking a huge step towards reconciliation in our province. However, my hope was tempered by the recent directive from your government for public servants not to refer to the land being unceded or unsurrendered in land acknowledgments.

On behalf of the 38,000 affiliated members of the New Brunswick Federation of Labour, I am calling on you to reconsider this position and withdraw this directive. It divides our communities even further in New Brunswick.

Sincerely,
Daniel Legere
President, New Brunswick Federation of Labour

Thousands march to legislature in massive protest on Day 5 of CUPE strike

Public-sector workers, supporters from across Canada gather outside as new session of legislature begins

Thousands of striking government employees and supporters marched down King Street to the New Brunswick Legislature on Tuesday in one of the largest demonstrations ever held in Fredericton.

Busloads of participants arrived from across the country to join the demonstration, held on Day 5 of a strike by 22,000 provincial employees who are members of Canadian Union of Public Employees.

CUPE leaders and workers from across Canada showed up in support of the New Brunswick workers.

Police estimated several thousand participants were at the demonstration, which filled the lawn of the legislature and spilled onto the sidewalks. Noise from the gathering could be heard blocks away.

As the provincial government resumed a session that had been adjourned in June, protesters chanted and blew noisemakers, and CUPE leaders gave speeches on the lawn of the legislature.

While police officers directed traffic that slowed to a crawl, demonstrators set up dozens of empty tables, signalling they were ready to get back to the bargaining table.

On Monday afternoon, the Higgs government cancelled a planned speech from the throne that would have kicked off a new session of the legislature Tuesday.

The move made it easier for the province to introduce and quickly pass back-to-work legislation to end the strike by the Canadian Union of Public Employees, something Premier Blaine Higgs has been talking about for days.

Cardy, Higgs appeal to CUPE leadership on Day 4 of strike

Higgs told reporters Monday afternoon that a bill would not come Tuesday but could happen at any time, depending on how the strike affects health-care services.

The strike involves 22,000 government workers in 10 locals, including health care, education, transportation and agricultural sectors, as well as social workers, jail guards, court stenographers and staff at WorkSafeNB and New Brunswick community colleges.

Higgs wants striking employees to be willing to discuss pension changes

On Day 5 of government employees' strike, N.B. premier says province could return to bargaining table soon

Jacques Poitras· CBC News · Posted: Nov 02, 2021 5:32 PM AT

A sticking point in the province's dispute with locked out and striking employees is Premier Blaine Higgs's push to add the CUPE local representing school bus drivers to the province's shared-risk pension plan. (Jacques Poitras/CBC)

Premier Blaine Higgs says talks with the Canadian Union of Public Employees could resume within days, but he wants to see the union more willing to talk about pensions.

Higgs and his government were pounded inside the legislature by opposition parties and outside by a large, noisy throng of striking CUPE members and supporters as the legislature reconvened for the first time since June.

The labour dispute dominated Question Period, with the Liberals and Greens pressing him to move quickly to make a deal.

"This is not a chicken dance," Opposition Liberal Leader Roger Melanson said, referring to the premier's onstage gyrations during New Brunswick Day celebrations in August. "This is serious."

Melanson accused the premier of dancing from position to position on the strike as well, threatening back-to-work legislation on the one hand while offering to talk on the other.

"It's confusing, all over the place, disoriented, disorganized," he said.

Higgs told reporters he is prepared to talk to CUPE.

"I'd be, certainly, be willing to do that," he said. "I'd expect that one way or the other there will be some discussions about next steps and that would be getting back to the table."

But he said if talks resume, "there's got to be an openness that it's because we're going to find a resolution, not because we spent two or three or four or five or six days on the picket line."

The government and the union have made competing wage proposals only one percentage point apart.

A key sticking point is the premier's push to add the CUPE local representing school bus drivers to the province's shared-risk pension plan, a regime that relieves the province of having to top up pension shortfalls with taxpayer dollars.

In return, Higgs is offering to bring 2,200 educational assistants into the plan, giving them a pension for the first time.

He is accusing CUPE of resisting the shift to shared-risk for the bus drivers because the national parent union has been fighting shared-risk plans Canada-wide.

Green Leader David Coon and Liberal Leader Roger Melanson both urged the premier to drop his insistence on talking about pension changes in these negotiations. (CBC)

But opposition leaders say it's Higgs who is being stubborn.

"Putting this pension issue on the table, which is only affecting two locals, is taking hostage the rest," Melanson said.

Green Party leader David Coon urged Higgs to put the issue aside.

"It's pure insanity that he's insisting that this pension issue be dealt with in the context of these negotiations," Coon said.

"He's got to stop that, take it off the table. He'll be back to the table immediately if he does that and we'll have a fair wage settlement before the end of the week. I can guarantee you that."

Thousands march to legislature in massive protest on Day 5 of CUPE strike

Higgs said Tuesday there's been no further discussion about back-to-work legislation to force an end to the strike.

But he said that if that happens, the bill will be far-reaching, imposing wage settlements not just on the more than 20,000 CUPE members in the current dispute but on 55,000 unionized public-sector employees.

"Whatever we do with CUPE, it will apply to 55,000 employees," Higgs said, meaning "all unions. … It would be our wage mandate for government if we did that."

He said that would include nurses, who have twice rejected tentative agreements this year.

"If you look at legislation that has been put in on a wage bill anywhere in the country, you don't pick and choose. It is the wage bill for government."

But he added, "It's not my goal to have a legislated wage mandate. That's not my goal. I certainly would like to have a negotiated settlement."

Higgs once praised 'fair' union wages he now says are too high

In real terms, wages were higher six years ago following increases Higgs himself approved

Robert Jones· CBC News · Posted: Nov 02, 2021 7:00 AM AT

As finance minister in 2011, Blaine Higgs, left, signed a four-year contract with CUPE Local 2745 education workers. At the time, he praised the wages as 'fair.' (Government of New Brunswick)

New Brunswick Premier Blaine Higgs is critical of what he says are high wages for striking public sector workers, but in real terms they were higher six years ago following increases Higgs himself approved as finance minister.

He praised the higher rates at the time as "fair to both employees and taxpayers."

That's not the position he has taken recently as the labour dispute that has pitted thousands of New Brunswick government employees in multiple union locals against the province drags into its fifth day.

A central issue in the confrontation, according to labour historian and University of New Brunswick professor emeritus David Frank, is what, if anything, should be done about the erosion of employee wages by inflation.

"Do we want them to have good jobs ... or do we want services at the cheapest possible price?" Frank said in an interview with CBC News on Monday.

"Obviously there's a distinction, and CUPE's bargaining position is that real wages should not be going down in the face of inflation."

More than 20,000 unionized New Brunswick government employees in several CUPE locals are caught up in the labour dispute. (Patrick Lacelle/Radio-Canada)

'It's easy to argue inflation': Higgs

Last Friday, when the strike began, Higgs said that should not be a concern because public-sector wages and benefits are better than those available from private employers and can withstand some erosion.

"The wages are very good in the public sector," Higgs told CBC News, in explaining why matching the cost of living is not an issue he sympathizes with.

N.B. government locks out 3,000 CUPE workers as strike enters Day 3

"I know it's easy to argue inflation," he said. "But it's where you start. And what I'm seeing here is that they're starting at a very strong level."

Higgs appeared to blame previous New Brunswick governments for letting employee wages escalate, even though he had a direct hand in guiding the issue for several years.

As finance minister in the former Progressive Conservative government of David Alward, Higgs was involved in approving wage rates he now complains are too high, even though in real terms they are lower now than where he left them.

In June 2013, the Alward government signed a four-year deal with hospital workers in CUPE Local 1252, one of the unions involved in the current fight. That deal involved a two-year wage freeze, followed by two years of two-per-cent increases.

The contract expired in June 2015 after the Alward government was defeated, and employee wages have shrunk significantly in real terms since then, due to inflation.

Local 1252 signed another four-year agreement after 2015 with the former Liberal government of Brian Gallant that included a series of raises totalling 4.1 per cent.

But the Consumer Price Index in New Brunswick has increased 13.5 per cent since then.

That makes the 2014 and 2015 wage levels for CUPE Local 1252, set during Higgs's term as finance minister, richer than current levels.

Similar case for educational workers

It's a similar case with educational workers in CUPE Local 2745, who are also caught up in the current fight.

They struck a four-year deal with the Alward government in 2011, with wages Higgs praised at the time as reasonable for all sides. Their wage rates are less now in real terms than they were when that contract expired in 2015.

"The key aspect of this agreement, from our perspective, is that it respects the wage restraint policy which provides for two years of zero increases followed by two-per-cent increases in each of the final two years," Higgs said at the time.

"By working collaboratively in this negotiation process, both parties have proven that we can reach an agreement that is fair to our valued public servants while still respecting New Brunswick's fiscal challenges."

Higgs has not said why wages he once hailed as fair are now thought to be too high, especially after being shrunk by inflation. But David Frank said the view the public ultimately takes on the wage issue will play a big role in which side backs down.

"Public responses to those two visions perhaps will have some effect on what government and the unions decide to do," Frank said.

CUPE is asking for a combined 12 per cent wage increase over four years.

The province briefly offered 10 per cent over five years, but reduced it to 8.5 per cent when union negotiators declined the offer.

Province wrong to stop paying EAs designated essential during strike, board rules

Board sided with educational assistants' union after it filed a complaint against New Brunswick government

Hadeel Ibrahim· CBC News · Posted: Nov 02, 2021 10:36 AM AT

New Brunswick Education Minister Dominic Cardy says the 45 per cent designated educational assistants should not be going to school, but they will get paid. (CBC)

The New Brunswick Labour and Employment Board has ruled in favour of the Canadian Union of Public Employees after it challenged the government for not paying educational assistants designated essential during a strike.

Over the weekend, the province locked out all non-essential EAs, who are part of a strike by thousands of provincial government employees that began Friday. Striking employees do not get paid.

But when the province decided to have students learn from home, the 45 per cent of EAs designated essential and therefore unable to join the strike were asked to stay home without pay.

The labour board decided this was against the law and asked the province to cease and desist immediately.

An order says refusing to allow essential EAs to work, and refusing to pay them, is against labour law.

Cardy, Higgs appeal to CUPE leadership on Day 4 of strike

Students learning from home during strike, but not all parents go along

In a post on Facebook, CUPE Local 2745 said lawyers for the union made their case at a virtual hearing Monday afternoon. The union says designated workers could return to their workplace Tuesday.

But Education Minister Dominic Cardy is asking EAs not to go to school. He said teachers and students are working from home because with custodians out, cleaning standards cannot be maintained.

"We're asking them not to come to work, that the labour board ... ruling absolutely stands, so their pay isn't affected at all," he told Information Morning Fredericton.

He did not say why the province was not paying essential EAs, but said the education system will try to integrate them into home learning.

"We have to make sure that we have to be able to integrate them into something we can do to help support home learning, if that ends up being possible," he said.

Cardy previously said the 1,700 EAs designated essential would not be enough to keep children learning well from schools, and the province has ordered all schools to teach remotely because CUPE's strike schedule has been "unpredictable."

'In it to win it'

Local 2745 president Theresa McAllister said that over the weekend, the designated EAs received an email saying "there was no work available for them to do," since students will be learning remotely. That's when CUPE decided to file the complaint.

McAllister said the union asked workers to go into schools Tuesday, but their respective schools said stay home and you will be paid.

McAllister said the favourable decision has boosted morale for those on the picket lines.

"It has really boosted their spirits, that we're in it to win it," she said in an interview.

Ordering CUPE back to work won't be a simple process for Higgs, says labour lawyer

Premier is threatening to create back-to-work legislation for at least some CUPE workers

Jacques Poitras· CBC News · Posted: Nov 02, 2021 8:00 AM AT

The Higgs government will be facing legal and procedural obstacles if it tries to force striking public-sector workers back to work when the New Brunswick Legislature reconvenes Tuesday.

Premier Blaine Higgs says he's looking at back-to-work legislation that would order some or all striking members of the Canadian Union of Public Employees to end their walkout.

But that route is not a simple one. Nor is the premier's other option: using the province's COVID-19 state of emergency.

No provincial government in Canada has used back-to-work legislation since 2015, when the Supreme Court of Canada ruled that the right to strike is protected by the Constitution, says Ottawa labour lawyer Paul Champ.

"No one has tried it," he says. "I'm sure government lawyers across the country have looked at it and decided to step away, and I'd be interested to see if New Brunswick thinks somehow that they can get away with it."

Paul Champ, an Ottawa lawyer who specializes in labour law, says no government in Canada has attempted back-to-work legislation since the Supreme Court ruled in 2015 that the right to strike is protected. (Jean Delisle/ CBC)

The 2015 ruling quashed the Saskatchewan government's attempt to unilaterally decide which unionized workers were essential and then ban them from striking.

"The right to strike is an essential part of a meaningful collective bargaining process in our system of labour relations," it said. "It is an indispensable component of that right."

Champ says that means any government seeking to restrict that right "is going to have an uphill battle to try to justify it."

Another obstacle is timing.

The government swept away one time-gobbling obstacle Monday by cancelling the speech from the throne scheduled for Tuesday.

In 2015, the Supreme Court quashed an effort by Saskatchewan to unilaterally declare striking workers essential. (Justin Tang/The Canadian Press)

That also means no Official Opposition reply to the speech Thursday, freeing up two days for regular business.

"Not having a throne speech does give us additional flexibility that allows us to move quicker as needed," Higgs said Monday, though he said there would be no bill introduced Tuesday.

Still, any bill must be read and voted on three times and must also go through a committee review.

And under the legislature's rules, each of those four steps must happen on a different sitting day.

The only way that timeline can be further compressed is if all MLAs grant unanimous consent to bypass the rules, something Green Party house leader Kevin Arseneau says will not happen.

Green Party house leader Kevin Arseneau says his party would not agree to speeding up the process of a back-to-work bill. (Jacques Poitras/CBC)

"Absolutely not," he says. "There will be no unanimous consent for back-to-work legislation. Absolutely not."

Arseneau says on top of refusing to consent to accelerating the timeline, the Greens are also looking at other procedural tools to slow it down.

"There's many different ways of slowing down or putting pressure on bills," Arseneau says.

If a bill is eventually passed, it will likely be subject to a legal challenge based on the 2015 Saskatchewan case, Champ says.

Higgs said Monday that a back-to-work bill would also include a "wage mandate" to impose pay increases on CUPE rather than sending that issue to binding arbitration.

Premier Blaine Higgs says his government could use the emergency order to force striking employees back to work if the strike impacts health-care services. (Government of New Brunswick)

He also said another option is the Emergency Measures Act, which says the province can "provide for the maintenance and restoration of essential facilities" during an emergency.

That would apply only narrowly to "more specific" situations that affect pandemic efforts, he said.

The emergency order is also subject to the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, and Champ says applying it to only a very narrow number of health workers would be the only way it would have a chance of surviving a court challenge.

But even then, he says the province may have a hard time.

Clerical and housekeeping staff who had been working at regional health authority clinics are members of CUPE Local 1252 but were not designated essential, so they're able to strike.

Norma Robinson of CUPE says the province has had plenty of time to seek redesignation of workers as essential but has never done so. (CBC)

The designation of essential workers happened before the clinics began operating, and CUPE has not agreed to change the designation now that the strike is underway.

CUPE 1252 president Norma Robinson said the dispute has been on the horizon for months and the province didn't approach the union about redesignation until the last few days.

"They had lots of time," she said.

The government could also have asked the New Brunswick Labour and Employment Board by now for a redesignation, Champ says.

"If New Brunswick was running into a potential labour dispute some time ago and they had a designated worker list that was pre-COVID, I would think it would have been incumbent on the government to bring such an application before the labour board before they reach a situation of crisis."

Because it hasn't done so, he says it will be hard to argue during any legal challenge that the province had no choice but to use a back-to-work bill or the emergency order to force those workers back to work.

Corrections

An earlier version of this story said no government in Canada has used back-to-work legislation since 2015. This was based on erroneous information from Paul Champ. In fact the federal government passed back-to-work legislation in 2018 to stop rotating strikes by the Canadian Union of Postal Workers. That legislation was challenged by CUPW using the 2015 Supreme Court ruling. The case remains before the courts.

Higgs government cancels throne speech, but rules out back-to-work bill Tuesday

Move could allow government to bring in back-to-work legislation quicker

The Higgs government has cancelled a planned speech from the throne that would have kicked off a new session of the legislature Tuesday.

The move would make it easier for the province to introduce and quickly pass back-to-work legislation to end the strike by the Canadian Union of Public Employees, something Premier Blaine Higgs has been talking about for days.

"Clearly the government is improvising in trying to get this back-to-work legislation as quick as possible," said Green Party house leader Kevin Arseneau. "What it signals is there's absolutely no willingness to get back to the table."

Higgs told reporters Monday afternoon that a bill would not come Tuesday but could happen at any time, depending on how the strike affects health-care services.

"It's going to be a day-by-day thing, but … not having a throne speech does give us additional flexibility that allows us to move quicker as needed."

Speaker Bill Oliver notified MLAs on Monday afternoon that he was cancelling an 11 a.m. sitting that would have prorogued the existing session, a necessary step before the new session could start with the throne speech.

The speech drafted by the government and delivered by Lt.-Gov. Brenda Murphy had been scheduled for 1 p.m.

But Oliver's notice says MLAs will convene instead at 1 p.m. "for the purpose of resuming" the existing session.

Under house rules, no legislation can be introduced on a day set aside for a throne speech or for the Official Opposition's reply to the speech, which would have taken place Thursday.

Now Tuesday and Thursday are both freed up for regular sitting days, which shortens the time required to get urgent legislation passed.

Any bill before the legislature must be read and voted on three times and must also go through a committee review.

Each of the four steps must happen on separate sitting days unless all MLAs consent unanimously to waive that rule, something Arseneau said Monday his party will not agree to.

Employees could be forced back to work if strike hurts N.B. health care, Higgs says

"Absolutely not," he said. "There will be no unanimous consent for back-to-work legislation. Absolutely not."

Some COVID-19 vaccination clinics and testing centres have been closed as a result of the strike.

More than 20,000 unionized public-sector workers in 10 different CUPE locals have been without contracts for years. The first workers walked off the job on Friday, with others joining them on the weekend.

Higgs said on the weekend that the COVID impact was a possible trigger for back-to-work legislation or an emergency order.

"CUPE is saying, 'It's all right for New Brunswickers to go without screening during a pandemic,'" he said. "They're saying they're willing to allow potential symptomatic and positive individuals to go into vulnerable locations and cause further infections.

"I don't think that is right, and I don't think New Brunswickers think it is right either."

Charges dropped against Liberal MLA

CBC News · Posted: Aug 28, 2008 12:04 PM AT

The charges against a Liberal MLA accused of allegedly punching a Conservative party employee have been dropped.

The charges were dropped by the Crown prosecution on Wednesday after it was heard in the Fredericton provincial court that Chris Collins, the representative for Moncton East, had fulfilled conditions of an alternative-measures program by doing community service.

Collins allegedly got into a confrontation with another man, who works for the Conservative party, at the Back Nine Bar on Dec. 19 and allegedly struck him several times. Collins was later charged with summary assault.

In a written statement in January, Collins apologized for his actions, saying, "I deeply regret allowing myself to become involved in such an incident. It was completely out of character for me."

Collins is a former Moncton city councillor. He was elected to the provincial riding of Moncton East in March 2007 byelection after former premier Bernard Lord resigned from politics.

Collins' 12-year-old son Sean died of cancer in July 2007.

The alternative-measures program sometimes allows citizens without a criminal record to take alternative actions with the victim and the community to promote reconciliation and avoid acquiring a record.

The court heard Collins performed volunteer work with a charitable group and completed the terms of the program on June 11.

The prosecution was brought in from Nova Scotia because of Collins's position in the government.

MLA's executive assistant charged with assault of provincial employee

Shawn Douthwright is scheduled to make an appearance in Moncton court on Friday

Tori Weldon· CBC News · Posted: Jan 21, 2020 5:20 PM AT

Shawn Douthwright is charged with assault for allegedly shaking a Department of Transportation and Infrastructure employee, Scott McLaughlan, on July 4, 2019, along route 112. (Twitter)

Shawn Douthwright, the executive assistant to Agriculture, Aquaculture and Fisheries Minister Ross Wetmore, is being charged with assaulting a provincial road worker.

Court documents say the alleged assault on Scott McLaughlan took place on July 4, 2019, near Second North River, about 28 kilometres west of Moncton. The documents were filed Dec. 27.

McLaughlan could not be reached by CBC News for a comment, but CUPE 1190 laid out the allegations, quoting union member McLaughlan, in a news release last November.

The release said Wetmore and Douthwright drove up to a Department of Transportation roadside work site along Route 112, where McLaughlan and other workers were gathered.

Agriculture Minister MLA Ross Wetmore, who the union says was present for the alleged assault by his executive assistant, has said little about it. (Philip Drost/CBC News)

Wetmore "shouted at us, insulted us, using derogatory words and saying road workers were incompetent," McLaughlan is quoted as saying.

The union accused both the Progressive Conservative MLA for Gagetown-Petitcodiac and his assistant of insulting the employees. The release went on to allege that the situation escalated when Douthwright grabbed McLaughlin by the shoulders and shouted an expletive at him.

Union president Brent Wiggins alleged this was not an isolated incident and said in the release that there has been "repeated harassment" of highway workers by Wetmore.

When reached by the CBC, Douthwright replied in an email: "I look forward to telling my story in the proper venue. I have no comment at this time."

Communications director Vicky Deschênes said there would be no comment from the province because "it would be inappropriate to discuss a matter before the courts."

But the alleged assault was addressed in the legislature on three separate occasions late last year.

Robert McKee, the Liberal MLA for Moncton Centre, broached the issue on Nov. 22, 2019, when he outlined the allegations during question period and said, "we would like to give the minister an opportunity to give his side of the story to the house here this morning."

Liberal MLA Lisa Harris questioned Wetmore in the legislature in November, asking if he would step down. (Joe McDonald/CBC)

To which Wetmore replied, in part, "I've been told that this has been forwarded to the RCMP, so right at the time being I'll have no comment."

McKee then asked Wetmore if he would be willing to step down from cabinet until the matter was fully resolved.

Wetmore answered by saying: "This is an HR [human resources] issue that has been dealt with, and I have no intention of commenting any more until this has been concluded with the RCMP."

McKee accused Wetmore of deflecting and then asked Premier Blaine Higgs about removing Wetmore from his position.

Asked in the legislature to clarify how the matter was dealt with and about any consequences for Wetmore and Douthwright, Premier Blaine Higgs said he could not respond because of privacy issues. (CBC)

"I can't speak of the particulars of that situation, but I am under the understanding it has been fully dealt with," said Higgs, who said that because of privacy issues, he wasn't free to discuss what happened.

The next week, questions persisted from the Liberals. Lisa Harris, the Miramichi Bay-Neguac MLA, asked the premier specifically how the matter was dealt with and what consequences there were for Wetmore and Douthwright.

Wetmore responded again that it was a human resources issue, and anyone wanting to know more should file an access to information request with the province.

He then spoke about his success as a minister, a response that surprised Harris.

"Mr. Speaker, it is unreal that the member opposite would switch the conversation when we are talking about a serious allegation."

Liberal MLA Rob McKee asked for specifics surrounding the assault allegations. (CBC)

She again asked if Wetmore would be stepping down.

Higgs replied: "I agree with the member. It is not acceptable. It is not acceptable to have any type of abusive situation, whether it be physical or verbal. We would not tolerate it, and we did not."

He then suggested someone had been disciplined.

"We feel that the disciplinary action was suitable for the situation and that it was done promptly," Higgs said.

But he did not say what disciplinary action was taken.

Higgs said if the RCMP were to investigate, his government would co-operate.

An investigation by the RCMP resulted in a charge of assault against Douthwright. He is scheduled for a first appearance in a Moncton court on Friday.

Public Commission hearings

Please note that until further notice, all Commission proceedings will be held remotely.

We continue to monitor the pandemic situation and are focusing on critical services to ensure that nuclear facilities are safe and that the public and environment are protected.

The Commission makes decisions on the licensing of major nuclear facilities through a public hearing process.

The public hearing gives involved parties and members of the public an opportunity to be heard before the Commission. Following a public hearing, the Commission deliberates and makes its decision on the matter. The Commission renders decisions according to service standards, depending on the nature and complexity of the files. The Commission also holds public meetings.

See the calendar of Commission proceedings.

One-part or two-part hearings

Commission hearings are governed by Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission Rules of Procedure, under the Nuclear Safety and Control Act. Public hearings usually take place in a one or two-part process. Two-part public hearings take place on days that are usually 60 days apart. Most decisions involving major nuclear facilities are made through the two-part public hearing process.

One-part public hearing process

For a one-part hearing, all of the evidence from the applicant, CNSC staff and intervenors is heard by the Commission in a single hearing session. To allow potential intervenors to review the proposal and prepare for the hearing, written submissions from the applicant and CNSC staff must be filed at least 60 days prior to the hearing day.

Intervenors are then invited to register their submissions at least 30 days prior to the hearing. Participants may file supplementary information up to seven days prior to the hearing day.

Commission hearings are normally open to the public, but some are also be held in-camera (closed session) in whole or in part. For example, certain protected information may not be discussed in a public forum.

During a public hearing, simultaneous interpretation in one or the other of Canada's official languages is provided when necessary. Verbatim transcripts are produced and published on CNSC’s website the week following each hearing day. The Commission's decision and its reasons for decision are normally published within six weeks after the conclusion of the hearing.

Two-part public hearing process

During Part 1 of a two-part public hearing, the applicant and CNSC staff present written and oral submissions to the Commission and respond to questions from the Commission.

As with a one-part hearing, intervenors are invited to register their submissions at least 30 days prior to the hearing. Participants may file supplementary information up to seven days prior to the hearing day.

During Part 2, which usually takes place 60 days after Part 1, registered intervenors have an opportunity to make their views known to the Commission and to respond to any related questions from the Commission Members.

Usually, 30 days before Hearing Part 2, intervenors may file their intervention requests and submissions. This means that intervenors have 30 days to review the information presented during Part 1 and submit their request before Part 2.

The applicant and CNSC staff must also attend Part 2 and be prepared to respond to further questioning by the Commission.

How the CNSC chooses where to hold Commission hearings

In the spirit of openness and transparency, the CNSC prides itself on holding Commission hearings in the communities that will be most affected by the decision at hand, when possible.

When considering a hearing location, the CNSC looks for available venues (such as hotels, conference centres and recreation facilities) that meet its requirements for proximity to the relevant nuclear facility. Local municipalities and tourism associations are also contacted in an attempt to find an optimal location that can accommodate the hearing’s duration, the expected number of intervenors, and the necessary technical services. In addition, the CNSC insists that the location be wheelchair accessible.

Watch a public Commission hearing or meeting

CNSC offers online videos, or webcasts, of its public hearings and meetings. If you are interested in learning about what happens at a public hearing or meeting, watch public Commission hearings or meetings online.

Participate in a public Commission hearing

Members of the public are welcome to observe hearings or to formally participate as intervenors. Find out more on how to participate in a public Commission hearing.

NB Power CEO Gaëtan Thomas appointed chairman of the Atlanta Centre
Governing Board of the World Association of Nuclear Operators
2018-05-14

Fredericton, N.B. – The World Association of Nuclear Operators (WANO)
announced the appointment of Gaëtan Thomas as the new Chairman of the
WANO-Atlanta Centre Regional Governing Board.

"I am pleased to announce the appointment of Gaëtan Thomas and
welcome him to the Atlanta Centre Regional Governing Board and the
wider WANO family. Gaëtan brings a wealth of experience and insight to
the position, which will be very valuable to the global community of
nuclear operators.” said Jacques Regaldo, chairman of WANO.

WANO, which has over 130 members across the globe, is the organization
that unites every company and country in the world that operates
commercial nuclear power plants. Its goal is to achieve the highest
possible standards of nuclear safety and excellence in operational
performance. WANO is headquartered in London and, in addition to the
Atlanta Centre, which has 38 members, WANO also has regional centres
in Moscow, Paris and Tokyo.

“I am honoured to serve as Chairman of the Atlanta Centre and to work
with all of our nuclear professionals around the world to continue to
improve nuclear safety in our region and to represent our centre with
the international organization,” said Mr. Thomas. “NB Power’s Point
Lepreau Nuclear Generating Station has long been a WANO member and has
benefited greatly from this professional association.”

Mr. Thomas has served as Chief Executive Officer of NB Power since
February 2010. He is an Electrical Engineering graduate from the
University of New Brunswick. A lifelong employee of the utility, Mr.
Thomas has worked in all aspects of the business including as vice
president of both the Nuclear and Distribution and Customer Service
divisions.

In 2015 & 2016, Mr. Thomas was named by Atlantic Business Magazine as
one of the region’s Top 50 CEOs, and was selected as one of the Most
Influential Acadians by l’Acadie Nouvelle, New Brunswick’s French
provincial daily newspaper.

https://www.wano.info/about-us

The World Association of Nuclear Operators (WANO) unites every company and country in the world that has an operating commercial nuclear power plant to achieve the highest possible standards of nuclear safety.

WANO appoints Robert Gambrill as Director of WANO Atlanta Centre

18 September 2020

WANO has appointed Robert (Bob) Gambrill as the Director of the WANO Atlanta Centre. Bob has formally replaced Russ Brian, who has successfully completed his three year tenure as WANO Atlanta Centre Director.

WANO Atlanta Centre is located in Atlanta, Georgia and provides services and assistance to WANO members in the United States, Mexico, Canada, South Africa, China, United Arab Emirates, and Romania.

In carrying out the WANO mission to maximise the safety and reliability of commercial nuclear power plants worldwide and in addition to providing assistance to members within the region, Atlanta Centre also implements WANO strategic activities and goals, ensures effective application of WANO resources within the region and to other regional centres, and promotes the professional development of seconded personnel.

In parallel to his position with WANO, Bob Gambrill is also serving as Vice President, International, for the Institute of Nuclear Power Operations (INPO). INPO is an independent, non-profit organisation with a mission to promote the highest levels of safety and reliability in the operation of commercial nuclear power plants.

Robert Gambrill, the new Director at WANO Atlanta Centre, stated: “I am pleased to serve as Director of WANO Atlanta Centre and look forward to working closely with the WANO Leadership Team, so that together we can achieve our goals.”

Ingemar Engkvist, Chief Executive Officer at WANO, stated: “I am delighted that Bob has joined WANO, he joins us at a key moment in our history and I look forward to working closely with him and our Atlanta Centre colleagues to support our members and maximise safety and reliability across the world. I would also like to take this opportunity to wish Russ all the very best for his retirement and thank him for his dedicated service to WANO, INPO and to the global nuclear industry throughout his career.”

NB Power CEO Gaëtan Thomas appointed chairman of the Atlanta Centre
Governing Board of the World Association of Nuclear Operators
2018-05-14

Fredericton, N.B. – The World Association of Nuclear Operators (WANO)
announced the appointment of Gaëtan Thomas as the new Chairman of the
WANO-Atlanta Centre Regional Governing Board.

"I am pleased to announce the appointment of Gaëtan Thomas and
welcome him to the Atlanta Centre Regional Governing Board and the
wider WANO family. Gaëtan brings a wealth of experience and insight to
the position, which will be very valuable to the global community of
nuclear operators.” said Jacques Regaldo, chairman of WANO.

WANO, which has over 130 members across the globe, is the organization
that unites every company and country in the world that operates
commercial nuclear power plants. Its goal is to achieve the highest
possible standards of nuclear safety and excellence in operational
performance. WANO is headquartered in London and, in addition to the
Atlanta Centre, which has 38 members, WANO also has regional centres
in Moscow, Paris and Tokyo.

“I am honoured to serve as Chairman of the Atlanta Centre and to work
with all of our nuclear professionals around the world to continue to
improve nuclear safety in our region and to represent our centre with
the international organization,” said Mr. Thomas. “NB Power’s Point
Lepreau Nuclear Generating Station has long been a WANO member and has
benefited greatly from this professional association.”

Mr. Thomas has served as Chief Executive Officer of NB Power since
February 2010. He is an Electrical Engineering graduate from the
University of New Brunswick. A lifelong employee of the utility, Mr.
Thomas has worked in all aspects of the business including as vice
president of both the Nuclear and Distribution and Customer Service
divisions.

In 2015 & 2016, Mr. Thomas was named by Atlantic Business Magazine as
one of the region’s Top 50 CEOs, and was selected as one of the Most
Influential Acadians by l’Acadie Nouvelle, New Brunswick’s French
provincial daily newspaper.

Florida sheriff's office closes extortion investigation involving Joi Scientific

Karissa Donkin · CBC News · Posted: Dec 16, 2019 6:00 AM AT

Roy Kirk
The province is paying $20K per mo to determine if a free-energy
device (a.k.a. a perpetual motion machine) works? An odd way to waste
of tax/ratepayer dollars. But I guess we chalk it up to
'out-of-the-box', 'blue-sky', 'innovative' thinking? The people who
signed off on this in the funding agencies should be unceremoniously
turfed.

"Executive pay at NB Power may become an issue at its annual rate
hearing next month but the utility has already gone on record
disputing claims salaries among its managers are bloated, as former
premier Brian Gallant openly suggested in last fall's provincial
election."

Methinks it interesting that Matthew Wegener, a professor of
accounting at the University of New Brunswick came up with the same
figure I did last year but in a much different fashion N'esy Pas?

Fred Brewer
Point Lepreau is the albatross around NB Power's neck. Mactaquac will
be the next.

David R. Amos
Reply to @Fred Brewer: Methinks many would agree that the real
albatrosses are the NB Power's Management, its Board of Directors and
of course the politicians who use the cash cow for their benefit N'esy
Pas?

Why always secret stuff-- Its our money?
Getting tired wool pulled over our eyes

David R. Amos
Reply to @Ferdinand Boudreau: Methinks you should no doubt understand
why NB Power and the EUB keep barring me from intervening any more
However anyone can check the public record to study what I have
already done N'esy Pas?

WANO, which has over 130 members across the globe, is the organization
that unites every company and country in the world that operates
commercial nuclear power plants. Its goal is to achieve the highest
possible standards of nuclear safety and excellence in operational
performance. WANO is headquartered in London and, in addition to the
Atlanta Centre, which has 38 members, WANO also has regional centres
in Moscow, Paris and Tokyo.

“I am honoured to serve as Chairman of the Atlanta Centre and to work
with all of our nuclear professionals around the world to continue to
improve nuclear safety in our region and to represent our centre with
the international organization,” said Mr. Thomas. “NB Power’s Point
Lepreau Nuclear Generating Station has long been a WANO member and has
benefited greatly from this professional association.”

Mr. Thomas has served as Chief Executive Officer of NB Power since
February 2010. He is an Electrical Engineering graduate from the
University of New Brunswick. A lifelong employee of the utility, Mr.
Thomas has worked in all aspects of the business including as vice
president of both the Nuclear and Distribution and Customer Service
divisions.

In 2015 & 2016, Mr. Thomas was named by Atlantic Business Magazine as
one of the region’s Top 50 CEOs, and was selected as one of the Most
Influential Acadians by l’Acadie Nouvelle, New Brunswick’s French
provincial daily newspaper.

Hey

Please don't try to deny the fact that I can easily prove David
Alward, David Coon and the CBC know the old bastards Louis Lapierre
and Werner Bock very well. They were both playing the wicked political
game in New Brunswick long before I put my name on a ballot in 2004.

http://spingolaspeaks.info/2013/06/18/tuesday-6-18-werner-bock/

http://justice4germans.com/

http://www.radicalpress.com/

Alward must remember when Danny Boy Bussieres illegally barred me from
Legislative properties and his pal Chucky Leblanc stole my documents
he promised to give to the Attorney General then spilled the Beans on
his political neo con pals in the local Indi Media forum run by David
Coon's many Green Meanie and Fake Left minions. Ask the sneaky
liberal lawyer Bernie Richard or his pals in the NB Police Commission,
the Fat Fred City Finest and the RCMP if I am a lair or not if you
lost your local records and did not bother to read the documents that
I provided you people long ago. The documents hereto attached are for
the CROWN to argue in Federal Court. I will as I promised long ago sue
you greedy local dudes later. Right now you are far to busy
embarassing
yourselves and I am enjoying the circus.

However Mr Alward I must say that was particularly evil of your
underling the drunken ex cop Carl Urquhart to try to have the RCMP and
his pals in the Fat Fred City Finest arrest me AGAIN on the night you
won your mandate in September of 2010. You know very well that was two
whole weeks after I had recieved the letter (hereto attached) from the
Chair of BHP and NONE of you has ever dared to even discuss it in the
three very long years since I forwarded it on to you and Premier Brad
Wall etc during the election in NB. Trust that Premier Dexter got it
it as well while he sat in opposition in Nova Scotia and bitched about
Harper and his mindless cohorts.

For the record trust that I thought it was incredibly that you crazy
bastard's arrested the Neo Nazi Werner Bock in open court today and
filed him in the Looney Bin for a long weekend. I find it rather funny
indeed. Hell Bock laughed at me when you bastards tried hard to lock
me up in 2008 and your blogging butt buddies Chucky Leblanc and his
pals Richy Baby Harris and Danny Boy Fitzgerald felt free to violate
my privacy and blog about it because they do not know the law and
thought my goose was cooked anyway. When I asked Werner Bock why he
thought it was funny he claimed it was just "Gallows Humour". When
iresponded that the ghost of a Hanged Manwould see no humour in his
jokes, he quit laughing. However he still uses that excuse to this
very day. So turn about is fair play and its my turn to laugh at his
plight. For what it is worth Werner Bock does not abuse his cattle and
the CROWN knows it and it also knows that I have secured all his
documents in a digital form and can easily prove the malice practiced
against him by the RCMP and many others since the early seventies. He
was very dumb not to call me as a witness whether I would have be
hostile towards his standing as a Neo Nazi or not I would have told
the truth and provided supporting documentation of what I witnessed
personally. The reason Bock did not call me is because he knew that I
would not support his theory about laser beams and etc because I had
not witnessed it. I witnessed his care of the cattle their very
strange deaths, the unwillingness of various governmental authorities
to investigate and the constant police harrassment of him in a effort
to shut
him up. The farmer had every right to ask people to investigate. The
animals were his lively hood and more importantly to the rest of us
his cattle were going into the FOOD CHAIN. When the CFIA tried hard to
have the RCMP to arrest both of un in 2009 and put their malice in
writng it was beyond ridiculous. Werner Bock was very foolish indeed
to stab me in the back and try to make friends with the bastards.

The RCMP did managed to divide us in 2009 but neither of us are
conquered thus far.
You can see that I included many of Werner Bock's friends on the
Internet in this email as well. We shall all see if they have the
balls to speak in his defence. N'esy Pas Chucky Leblanc and David
Coon?

BTW Methinks the CROWN Corp known as the CBC just violated Werner Bock's
privacy BIGTIME as well. They always told me that they are not allowed
to talk about suicides because of Mental Health and privacy issues.
The same should hold true for all people even German immigants.
Furthermore the CBC can never deny that never said a
word about Byron Priors various litigations oe when the evil Newffy
Judge Orr locked up him in the Waterford Hospital for about nine
months or so.

I must say the CROWN was particularly dumb to lock up Bock and get the
CBC brag about it particularly while the NB Attorney General is
assisting two Jewish Groups to attack the McCorkell estate at the same
time that the CROWN is prosecuting one of Bock's Neo Nazi friends Arty
Baby Topham of Radical Press. Methinks between the
Huffington Post, a heard of other bloggers and Internet talkshow hosts
New Brunswick will be put on the map even more than it already is.

Also even thogh everybody and his dog knows that Werner Bock and I
parted company in 2009 the CROWN cannot deny that three of my calves
died on Werner Bock's farm and I recorded and protested their demise
as well. You also all know I was the one who made the videos for Bock
in 2008/09 and wrote the words in his website about Section 444 of the
Canadian Criminal Code. Hell I did so over a year after Mikey Murphy
the Fomer Minister of Health/Attorney General responded to me and
asked the local boss of the RCMP Steve Graham to investigate and they
never did So I made Werner Bock rather well known on the Internet in
2008/2009 CORRECT? Google Werner Bock's name before you dare to call
me a liar and put it in writing.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/06/12/werner-bock-blames-death-rays-aliens-for-cow-deaths_n_1589706.html

http://maritimediseases.50megs.com

That said since old Louis Lapierre claims to be unwell and can't talk
to the CBC perhaps he in the Looney Bin with Werner Bock tonight?
Perhaps someday when he feels better will he join the other snobby and
very sneaky retirees in NB and sue in order to protect his unearned
pension too N'esy Pas?

If ya wanna know why I so pissed off on August 23 why not ask the RCMP or
Premiers, Redford, Alward and Dexter.

If politicians and cops play dumb or won't talk to you and you truly
don't already know just Google two names of very different men who are
still trying to protect their childrens' reputations and stop cyber
bullying over the Internet while the corrupt cops laugh at us.

David Amos and Glen Cannning

Your favourite Zionist Mr Baconfat has had lots to evil to spew about
us all EH Chucky Baby Leblanc?

Well Davey Baby Alward wouldn't you be pissed off too if the the RCMP
laughed at you while this shit was being published about your children
while the Zionist spindoctor was bitching on Labor Day about YOU and
Premiers Ghiz and Dexter begging Harper for money???

Maritime Kanada's Cocksuckers

So Premier Alward, Premiers Ghiz and Darrell Dexter, do you guys gently
unzip "Stevie boy's" trousers and blow him each year when you go to Ottawa
to beg for more federal tax dollars and equalization from the rest of
Canada?

Red Deer Alberta, city of less than 100,000 that has basically
statistically full employment. Red Deer has robust manufacturing,
conventional oil and oils sand industry servicing, agriculture and food
processing, petro-chemical production: All turbocharged with home grown
expertise and an unsurpassed quality if life.

Red Deer and Central Alberta has hundreds of family or privately owned
companies with 50 to 100 skilled workers, with gross revenues of 50 to 100
million dollars.

Meanwhile in Kanada's Appalachia, inbred Maritime Kanada, unemployment in
those provinces run from 9 % to 14 % unemployment. In Alberta and
Saskatchewan it runs from 4.3% to 4.5 % . In each of Canada's parasitic
Maritime jurisdictions the largest employer is the provincial government. No
immigrants choose Maritime Kanada to settle in because the education systems
are piss poor, and there is no private enterprise to speak of.

In Maritime Kanada the inbred politicians campaign on the promise of a
"chicken in every pot, and a government job for everyone that can read and
make his X on the paper." And some that can't.

Then there are Laura the Butt and Max still turning tricks, and Rehtaeh that
is till dead, dead, dead. You still trying to make money off that Glen?

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.

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.

Hey Mr Plant

Please notice that I added two more pdf files to this email that all our
surving past and present Prime Ministers and Governor Generals are
well aware of but you may not have seen them.

Remember our conversation and the four emails I sent you one month before
the writ was dropped? It was at about the same time a couple of my enemies
in BC Splitting the Sky and Dougy Baby Christie dropped dead. They were
followed up not long afterwards by none other than Rotten Ralphy Klein?
Does it make me an evil person to be happy that I out lived some of my foes?
You should not deny that Rotten Ralphy's Attorney General got the same
letter and the same a pile of documents and a CD that all the Canadian
Attorney General's received except the Quebecers who turned the Registered
US Mail back 10 times but it was NEVER returned to the USA. Methinks the
RCMP or their pals in CSIS stole my mail just like they have done before and
since. Its rough being a whistleblower. N'esy Pas Mr. Chretien and Mr.
Cutler?

Now to be fair here is one all the lawyers working for the Yankees Al Gore,
Prez Obama and George Soros should review before Birgitta Jonsdotter and her
Wikileaks buddies finally read it..

http://www.scribd.com/doc/5051668/Al-Gore-and-the-boys

Yea I know I am pipe dreaming. I doubt things will change in my lifetime but
what is life with fine dreams? History has proven the Sheeple always get the
governments they deserve when apathy rules the day. However once they start
losing their shirts and have no cake to eat there is always hell to pay and
do roll on occasion. Anyone paying attention can see that the stock
market is at an artificial high created by the greedy Banksters NOT the
economy. Obviously it has nowhere to go but down. Look out when it does.
Even old folks who support Harper and Cummins get pissed when they lose
another big chunk of their precious pensions. But to hell with us old folks
our days
taking advantage of this wonderful old old are winding down anyway. What is
far worse to me is that methinks the "Powers that Be" may let loose the Dogs
of War once again at about the same time the economy crashes. I am not the
only soul predicting this but I have been rather outspoken about this since
2002 when the greedy Yankees attacked my little Clan. Te public record
of my affairs speaks for itself. If my reasoning is correct all of our
children's future will become truly dire indeed. Shame on all you greedy
smiling
bastards if what I believe comes true. Trust that I will hate being correct
but to deny the obvious would make me as foolish as you people.

Pipedream or not the rest of this email is a nightmare for any unethical
lawyer or cop to read or ignore.

Unlike a lawyer or a poltiician I have always trusted my conscience, my
logic and my strange gut feelings.just like the honest cops in the movies
do.
Thus far the senses I was born with have not failed me. So I must confess
the
I have not lost my faith in my fellow common man yet even though I hold much
contempt towarss many low men in high places. My doubts are justifiable but
I
still have hope especially after watching the black guy named Charles talk
about
taking a break from munching on his MacDonald's and playing his part help
to
save three long lost girls in the USA It is guys like him that assure me
that we
common folk are not all evil people like the wealthy ones amongst us usually
are.
Charles should run for Congress I suspect he would win by a landslide if a
self
serving Independent can beat BC's Attorney General in the last election/ If
the
sneaky lawyer David Eby beats Christy Clark in her own riding it will only
serve to further prove my point. Need I say I love how the political parties
in BC are creating their own Independent opponents? Too too funny. Seems
that they are bringing about "change" byway of their malicious incompetence.

History as I said earlier has proven the worm always turns on the smiling
bastards. With any luck at all it may happen soon in BC. I know I have done
my part to try to bring about change in BC since 2004. I still have so many
irons in the fire in so many places to singe some fancy political arses with
that it is quite simply unbelievable. For instance with regards to this
email pipelines in your neck of the woods I know everyone of you checked out
the letters hereto attached but did nothing . Curipusity is a hell of a
thing but you are all afraid of Harper Correct? I doubt many of you greedy
people know about Lenny Hoyt, Emera and Enbridge or Mr. Jones, his Director
Derek Burney within TransCanada versus Mean Old Me. Trust
that it would take me only minutes to explain it to anyone with two clues
between their ears. In fact I have done so to quite few and still they say
and do nothing. Hell the dumb Green Meanies in Canada have understood me
since 2004 and still don't care about the shit that went down between Danny
Boy Williams and I even after he sues some of them. Go figure?

Methinks folks should stop listening to greedy lawyers EH? What say you Mr.
Plant? If you recall our conversation on March 15th you demanded I wrap
things up in a couple of minutes and I promptly did so within 30 seconds or
so then I called your friend Elisabeth Graff and her bosses as well. After
all your Law Firm has had Hard Copy of my material for nearly a year before
you quit politicking as an Attorney General Then Wall Eyed Wally Opal gladly
took your job and in turn got his arse kicked out of office by an incredibly
stupid Independent whom I talked to as well CORRECT Ms Huntington a former
RCMP
Security person and Acting-Chief of Staff to the Solicitor General of
Canada?
What I did not bother telling you Mr. Plant was the the reason I called on
lots
of people the Ides of March. Scroll down and you will see I caught Harper's
minions checking my work that day. Plus I know for a fact the CSE and the
RCMP listen to all my calls so why not give them an earful then prove to
many
others I am paying attention too?

Believe it or not not everybody is a afraid of Mr. Harper and many are
tired of his antics. I heard through the grapevine that I have
gotten some fans amongst the Feds and that maybe someone may use my
documents to blow the whistle. Heres hoping that is true. The sooner I get
my old Harley back and return to being "Just Dave" I am sure many
politicians
and lawyers will breath a sigh of relief. Methinks the CROWN and I should
write an MOU ASAP and then assist me in asking the the Yankees to settle
with as well. What say Mr. Plant? Do you know an old liberal lawyer in YOUR
law firm capable of writing a letter to the Prime Minister and making a deal
with fellow devil on behalf of a Canadian citizen that they purportedly
serve? I do they got this email too and my letter hereto attached. Four of
the
documents are from the Canadian government one is from a very big cheese
and only one is mine Correct?

If no no lawyer takes my side rest assured the Green Meanies South of the
49th heavily financed by George Soros/Swartz are about to be enlightened
much to the chagrin of Harper and Prez Obama and of course my wife's evil
Catholic cousins and their old Yankee buddy John Kerry the current Secretary
of the Sad State of Affairs in the US of A.

http://www.checktheevidence.com/pdf/2619437-CROSS-BORDER-txt-.pdf

Such is the way of the world and the life and times of a fierce but ethical
political animal. As long as I maintain my Integrity I and tell the truth
all day long
to anyone I choose to then sit back and watch the "Powers That Be" squirm.
Sooner or later somebody will grow some balls and simply say my name in a
Parliament or a Congress or in the corporate media. The love of money
dictates it.
Of that I have no doubt.

Great. Thanks for the response. It saves time and unnecessary expense
and redundancy because as I said, your local ATV Station is getting a
hard copy and Mr. Pozen will receive his upon my return to the USA. I
will attach hardcopy of this email to those documents so they will
understand that I am serious about my complaints. But I will remain
true to my word and not forward this email to anyone outside of your
company. Trust that I am seeking friends not more foes. I truly
believe that CTV should capitalize on this story but I am somewhat
dubious after I saw how Bell Canada employed its media to slam the
people striking against Aliant last night. Please never forget I have
been compelled to play the wicked political game and I do understand
the argument at the bottom of this email. I am very much against the
huge mergers at the Global Level. I am certain every lawyer and
politician knows why.

Mr. Amos, I confirm that I have received your documentation. There is

documentation is very voluminous and after 3 days, we are still in the

Subject: I am curious

Madam

I did not receive a response from you to the last email so I am not
certain if you received it. I must inform you that I will be closing
my briefcase in Yahoo for public view at the end of the week. I have a
great deal of material to add and I only wish certain parties to view
it. I opened it for you the other day as an act of good faith. Mr.
Pozen can check my work in the dockets of the various courts around
Boston they are a matter of Public Record my files are not. As you can
see by this and some following emails. I am very busy dealing with
criminal matters first before filing civil complaints in the USA. As I
told you when you called a lot has been happening. I have made a lot
of cops mad at me and I don't trust them a bit particularly after the
Police Commission is willing to check their work so i have been busy
watching my back and covering my butt. However that does not mean that
I have not thought about our conversation and was curious about a few
things.

I was glad to receive your call and impressed by the fact that you
were more than willing to receive the material and a copy of the
wiretap tape in particular. Your stated willingness to uphold the law
was a rare statement to me. However I was curious why you only
mentioned my voicemail to Mr. Pozen and not the email to your company
and the news program that it owns. Did they not inform you as well? If
they didn't I am not surprised because I have some other rather
interesting denials from the Media. the most interesting would have to
be from the PBS program called Frontline when I introduced its
producer Michael Sullivan to the US Attorney Michael J. Sullivan. Now
that is a story well worth W5 telling. Too bad they showed me their
ass. As a courtesy to you and a further act of good faith, I will not
forward this email to anyone else until after I return to the USA and
nothing has been resolved between BCE and I and I am compelled to name
it in my complaint. I would find it very hard to believe that Mr,
Pozen does not know everything he needs to know about me right now.

I had also called a lawyer, Steven Skurka who had a week long little
special on CTV . I had tried to inform him that I knew my rights his
assistant hollered at me. You from speaking to me yourself that I am
not a rude character. I found it too funny to be treated that way and
I had resolved to serve him this stuff byway of the local ATV Station
that had presented his smiling talking head to me. That is why I was
telling you that you could get this stuff from the local ATV station.
I found it quite strange that you did not rely on them to send it on
to you. Thus I must make an extra copy to comply with your request.

I know the date stamp on the forwarded email is incorrect but that is
because my old laptop goes to the first year in it when I boot up and
sometimes I am too busy or tired to bother changing it. However MSN
tracks it with the true date. Brad Smith and I have a bone to pick as
well and I have been checking his work rather closely since he ignored
my letter to him last year. His boss Bill Gates is gonna be very angry
and Brad Smith and Steve Balmer in the near future if I have anything
to do with it. If you do act ethically and immediately I will settle
with your company very cheaply in comparsion to the bottom lines of my
first two complaints. In fact I will be so impressed I will
immediatlely offer you a better job than the one you have now. Please
study the material I will provide you closely and ask me any thing you
wish.

I will do as I promised and send the material you requested as soon as
I can put it all together. Right now I am on the move and far away
from my printer. Is the following your correct address? Perhaps you
should consider sending someone to the my meeting with the Police
Commission in Fredericton next week in order to hear me speak of these
matters to law enforcement before I return to the USA. Once I do
return there I will serve the Mr. Pozen the material as promised and
call him to testify in my pending trial. The following emails should
explain some of my concerns to you. My wife will be in Canada next
week as well to pick up our kids. I will allow you to speak to her if
you wish. She has had a nervous breakdown over the legal crap and I do
have her Durable Power of Attorney pursuant to M.G.L. 201 B. Mr. Pozen
can ask Robert S. Creedon Jr. about that document. I argued it with
him before the entire Judicuary Commitee on Sept. 18th 2003.

I will call you in a minute to make certain that you get this and the
following emails.

I think is time to let a little something out of the bag for the
benefit of a few Maritimers who think they know something about the
Media.I did notify CBC, the Rogers crowd and Harry Steele's folks that
I knew a little bit about the Media and that I had written a book
about it. Problem is I need an editor and I believe I may have found
one.He comes in the form of a disenchanted newspaper man. But the
thing is I want to put it on the web for all to read for free so there
is no money in it for him. So I guess I wiil sue some big company with
a Prima Facia complaint and settle for a lesser amount out of court.
Lets just say I am looking hard at you dudes. I had zeroed in on the
Yankee media long ago and I am certain folks within the Ottawa Citizen
and Democracy Watch had checked my work(Hey Duff say hey to Dan for
me) I have crossed paths with many of Globemedia's people many times
for many reasons and I can easily prove it. What I haven't bothered to
tell them that I knew the reason Gobal etc never mentioned me was
Frank McKenna and the Irving influence because basically that was a no
brainer anyway. However If Globemedia and all their cohorts didn't
think I knew about the influence Robert Pozen in Boston, you had best
think again. then give Mr. Spitzer, Mr. Galvin, Mr. Shelby and Mr.
Donaldson a call and drop my name along with Mr. Nesters and Mr.
Koski's and tell them my stuff is off to the Arar Commission I am
heading back to the USA to call Mr. Pozen and many folks he calls
friends to court. Perhaps in Ottawa Bill Rowe will truly speak for the
common man after all if the worm turns on his buddies. How do you
people sleep at night? What say you? Why not get honest with the world
and I will settle cheap? I will give one of your lawyers something
real soon before I serve Mr. Pozen his just due byway of this lawyer

should call Putnam investments or the Brookline Savings bank and say
hey to Mr Chapman and Mr Tripp for me. I just called Bob Pozen at 617
954-5707 and introduced myself so that he can never say that he never
heard my name.

Sun Life Financial Inc.'s Boston-based mutual fund arm will agree to a
$50-million (U.S.) settlement today with U.S. regulators over
allegations the firm directed trading commissions to brokerages in
exchange for preferential treatment, according to people familiar with
the matter.

Sources said Massachusetts Financial Services Co. will announce a deal
with the Securities and Exchange Commission this morning that will
also include "compliance reforms," in addition to a token $1
disgorgement penalty.

Eric Morse, a spokesman for MFS, declined to comment. A spokesman for
the SEC refused to discuss any talks with the firm.

The embattled fund company is hoping this settlement will enable it to
move beyond the intense public and regulatory scrutiny it has endured
in the past several months.

In early February, MFS agreed to a $350-million settlement with the
SEC and New York State Attorney-General Eliot Spitzer for allegedly
permitting improper trades in some of its bigger funds. That figure
included $225-million in penalties and restitution to investors, along
with $125-million in fee reductions spread out over the next five
years.

The fallout within MFS, which manages about $140-billion in assets,
was also considerable. Its two highest-ranking officials -- chief
executive officer John Ballen and president Kevin Parke -- were each
fined and slapped with temporary suspensions by the SEC, leading to
their departures from the firm. Long-serving chairman Jeffrey Shames
also retired in the aftermath of MFS's problems, and was replaced by
Robert Pozen, formerly a senior executive at Fidelity Investments and
onetime associate general counsel at the SEC.

Mr. Pozen has been charged with cleaning up the mess, and tightening
the firm's internal controls.

He has already hired new legal and compliance officers, added
monitoring staff, and imposed a ban on so-called "soft dollar"
transactions. The firm also prohibited the practice of directing
trading fees to brokerages in exchange for being placed on a preferred
list of customers and receiving better visibility for its funds.

This latter arrangement, known in industry circles as "pay for play,"
is at the centre of MFS's pending settlement with the SEC. Sources
said the current settlement talks advanced fairly quickly because of
the voluntary compliance improvements MFS has undertaken.

In a recent interview with The Globe and Mail, Mr. Pozen attacked the
basis of the regulator's case as "very weak" and said it should have
raised this as a problem when it conducted audits of the company.

Nevertheless, he said he hoped to settle the matter quickly, in large
part to avoid a costly legal battle and prevent nervous investors from
pulling their money out of MFS funds. So far, the damage has been
contained to one major client, the Illinois Teachers Retirement
System, which fired MFS last month as lead manager on a $664-million
portfolio.

The SEC is investigating about a dozen other fund companies for
directed brokerage, although sources say MFS will settle individually,
rather than as part of a group.

Last fall, brokerage powerhouse Morgan Stanley agreed to pay
$50-million to settle charges it failed to tell investors it was
promoting funds with which the firm had a special arrangement. Morgan
Stanley had a "Partners Program" of 14 funds, including MFS, that paid
"substantial" fees in return for the brokerage steering their funds to
investors, the SEC claimed.

The regulator indicated a few months ago it would begin investigating
a number of fund companies for directing commissions, but did not say
which firms it would target.

Sun Life revealed in a filing that MFS was under investigation for
this practice just a couple of weeks after its first settlement with
the SEC and Mr. Spitzer. The news came as a surprise to most
observers, some of whom criticized the insurer's CEO, Donald Stewart,
for not disclosing this probe earlier.

MFS is hoping to recoup some of the $175-million it must repay
investors under the terms of the first settlement by suing firms and
individuals that engaged in market timing and late trading of its
funds. Market timing involves making frequent trades in and out of
funds in order to cash in on minor pricing discrepancies. It is not
illegal, but is usually prohibited by many fund companies, since the
quick trading can raise administrative costs and undermine returns to
investors.

Canadian Media Deregulation Provides Insight Into FCC Proposal

Critics of consolidation say the integrity of the news is being
undermined by the effects of concentrated ownership

Editor's Note: This story has been updated to correct inaccuracies.
Please see the corrected version here.

The original version of this story (see below) posted on May 29, 2003
incorrectly stated that Canada's two national newspapers, The Globe
and Mail and the National Post, recently laid off their online
editorial staffs. According to globeandmail.com editor Angus Frame,
there have been no recent editorial layoffs at globeandmail.com; the
site's 18-person staff continues to write and edit stories that are
published exclusively online. The National Post did not have dedicated
online editorial staff, and did not have online editorial layoffs. The
story also failed to acknowledge that the country's largest newspaper,
the Toronto Star, also has a significant online operation.

The Federal Communications Commission is poised to unveil new media
ownership rules June 2 that some experts believe may change the face
of American journalism.

The new rules would allow media companies to own television stations
and newspapers in the same cities.

The FCC barred companies from owning newspapers and TV stations in the
same market in 1975, but big media owners like the Tribune Co., Knight
Ridder, MediaNews Group and the New York Times say it's time to lift
that ban.

They argue that cross-ownership makes for better journalism: Staffers
working for companies that own newspapers and TV stations in the same
market can work together to create richer, multimedia news reports
that can then run in the company's paper and on their stations and Web
sites.

Advocates say the synergies of convergence lead to cost savings,
increased advertising revenues and greater efficiencies.

Cross-ownership already exists in some markets: The FCC granted about
40 exemptions to the cross-ownership rule in cases where a company
already had television or radio stations and a newspaper in a single
city. The FCC also granted exemptions in larger markets after media
mergers produced cross-ownership situations.

‘The concentration of ownership in a lot of major Canadian cities is
of interest for a lot reasons, but mainly because it provides too much
news coming through one pipeline.’
--Russ Mills, former publisher of the Ottawa Citizen

The Tribune Co., for example, owns television stations and newspapers
in Los Angeles, Chicago, New York and Miami.

How further media consolidation and convergence would play out if the
FCC does lift the ban on cross-ownership has been the subject of hot
debate in the weeks leading up to the commission's June 2 vote.

Experts familiar with the rapid consolidation of media in Canada say
the U.S. should look northward for some lessons on what loosening
cross-ownership restrictions could mean to journalism in the U.S.

In Canada, the deregulation of cross-media ownership occurred
gradually over the last 20 years. Within the past eight years, it has
led to massive consolidation of media companies.

Most of Canada's news media -- including newspapers and broadcast
stations in all of its major cities -- are in the hands of two media
giants: CanWest Global Communications Inc., and Bell Globemedia -- a
division of the country's largest telephone company, Bell Canada.

The rapid media consolidation in Canada has inspired an
often-acrimonious debate over whether Canadian journalists are able to
report objectively on social and political issues and whether the
country's corporate media has allowed business interests to undermine
the role of journalism in a modern democracy.

"Based on the experience in Canada, dropping restrictions on
cross-ownership certainly hasn't worked out well," said Russ Mills,
former publisher of the Ottawa Citizen in Canada's capital city, who
was fired by CanWest in a fight over editorial independence.

"The concentration of ownership in a lot of major Canadian cities is
of interest for a lot of reasons, but mainly because it provides too
much news coming through one pipeline," he said. "When companies use
ownership to control the news, and they do have the ability to do so,
it hurts everyone."

Though the two media conglomerates said cross-media consolidation
would improve online journalism, many media observers say online
journalism at local papers has gone downhill in the wake of
consolidation.

The country's two national newspapers, the National Post, half-owned
by CanWest, and The Globe and Mail, owned by Bell Canada's media wing,
Globemedia, have laid off the online reporters and editors at the two
papers that once produced copy separate from print editions.

The two papers, former online staffers said, were the only ones in
Canada that were doing something other than simply repurposing content
from newspaper pages into newspaper Web sites.

Executives at Bell Globemedia and CanWest have defended the cutbacks,
saying they were a result of cost-cutting efforts and consolidations
undertaken after spending billions of dollars to acquire newspaper and
broadcasting properties.

Consolidation accelerated in 1990s

Canada's restrictions on cross-media ownership were carved largely
from regulatory decisions on broadcasting licenses made since the
1950s by the Canadian Radio-Television Commission -- Canada's version
of the FCC.

By the mid-1980s, Canadian media experts say, exceptions to
cross-media ownership rules had eroded the cross-ownership ban to the
point that it was unenforcable and largely ignored.

By the mid-1990s, consolidation of Canadian media companies had
accelerated on the strength of dot.com economics. And in 2000,
CanWest, the second largest broadcaster in the country, announced a
$3.5-billion deal to purchase a majority of the nation's newspapers --
including papers in the nation's 12 largest cities.

Within weeks, Jean Monty, Bell Canada's CEO at the time, announced
that Canada's largest phone company had set its sights on owning both
content and the multimedia pipelines into consumers' homes.

The decision prompted Bell Globemedia to purchase the Globe and Mail
and the nation's largest TV network, CTV, in 2001.

Despite the rising consolidation of media outlets, the massive
purchases of newspapers by CanWest Global and Bell Globemedia took
many Canadian journalists and media-watchers by surprise.

CanWest and Bell executives convinced Canada's CRTC that convergence
was necessary to attract advertising revenue and reduce costs if
newspapers in many Canadian communities were to survive. And they
promised that resources from new revenues would be devoted to
improving the quality and reach of journalism through the Internet.

When questions about convergence arose during CRTC hearings on both
companies' broadcast licenses shortly after their newspaper purchases,
they promised regulators that they would separate management of
news-gathering operations by their television stations and newspapers.

Officials from the Canada National Newspaper Guild complained that
keeping management separate would not prevent companies from forcing
journalists to perform work for both newspapers and television, to the
detriment of journalistic independence.

Critics -- including journalism professors, journalists, newspaper and
broadcast union officials, and some government officials -- have
argued that the quality of journalism has gone down, not up, as a
result of convergence.

Joyce Smith, an assistant professor at Canada's Ryerson University,
teaches online journalism and worked on the online staff at the Globe
and Mail before those employees were laid off last year.

She said the one opportunity to see convergence succeed might have
been missed by Bell Globemedia in its efforts to cut costs to recoup
some of what it spent on media acquisitions.

"What I found interesting was that the actual idea of convergence
wasn't a hit with people working with just the newspaper or just
television," Smith said. "Where it really happened was with the online
news team. There were things the TV folks could clearly do much better
with the online newspaper. By pooling resources, it all did work much
better.

"But in the tradition of journalism," she said, "reporters were
asking, 'What does this mean for me? Does it mean that I have to file
stories to the Web and then do stand-ups in newsroom, while doing my
piece for the deadline at the end of the day?'

"Basically, (owners) wanted reporters to be one-man bands," Smith
said. "That has been played and replayed here. It made sense from a
business model, but journalists, especially those who have been around
for a while, went into newspapers and TV for a reason. Some are great
at doing both, but not everyone has the same aptitude. And no one has
the time in the day to do it all. Some of the expectations were
outrageous."

Canada reexamining changes

While U.S. media critics and media executives have been testifying
over the past few weeks in Senate hearings on the proposed changes in
the FCC's media ownership rules, Canada is busy reexamining what has
come of its own cross-media consolidations.

Two inquiries are underway by Canadian government officials to explore
the impact of cross-media ownership and consolidation on journalistic
integrity and media responsibility.

The Canadian Senate's Committee on Transport and Communication began
taking testimony at the end of April on those issues and is expected
to report its findings within the next year.

A House of Commons committee on Canadian heritage is expected to
release an 800-page report next month on its own yearlong
investigation into the impact of media concentration and political
efforts by corporations to ease restrictions on foreign ownership of
Canadian media.

But media-watchers, who have a ringside seat on Canada's great media
debate, say they are doubtful that government investigations will
produce any new regulation on media conglomerates.

"The horse is out of the barn," said Arnold Amber, director of the
National Newspaper Guild of Canada. "But the good news is that this
has at least inspired a vigorous national debate on press freedom and
responsibility."

Amber and other critics of media convergence said promises of more
stories and better information from combining print and broadcast news
staffs have largely failed in Canada.

"Bell Globemedia is talking about restructuring and selling off its
media wing," Amber said. "The failure of convergence to bring in
revenues was primarily responsible for the resignation of Bell
Canada's CEO, Jean Monty," who stepped down in April 2002.

Geoffrey Elliot, vice-president of corporate affairs for CanWest, said
that convergence has not led to revenues, or the reduced costs, the
company had hoped for.

But Elliot, and other supporters of cross-media ownership, argues that
all sides have benefited from consolidation.

"We are a family-owned business that saw an opportunity in which the
whole was greater than the sum of the parts," Elliot said. "We saw
substantial potential synergies on the sales side by putting
television and newspaper assets together, since they both serve
primarily advertising clients as sources of revenue, and serve a
combination of local and national markets."

Amber said the companies likely saw their primary financial advantages
from a convergence of back-office technologies -- combining
circulation, sales, printing and management operations.

But it was something else that brought issues to a head in Canada over
media consolidation and sharing newsroom resources: The loss of
diversity of voices within the Canadian media took on new importance,
observers say, after a series of events that led to accusations of
censorship and political bias by CanWest's owners.

In December 2001, CanWest -- which owns 11 major dailies and 22
smaller papers in Canada -- issued a directive to its newspaper
editors that they would be expected to run three editorials per week
that reflected the position of CanWest’s owners on political or social
issues.

The decision was met with a spate of criticism -- especially when
editors were told that other local editorials were not to contradict
those from corporate headquarters.

A byline strike ensued at the Montreal Gazette, and inquiries by the
newspaper guild there led to findings that work by columnists and
cartoonists was spiked when it conflicted with opinions from corporate
headquarters.

Several journalists quit; some staffers published a protest Web site.

The furor finally boiled over into the public arena last June when
Russ Mills, the publisher of the Ottawa Citizen, was fired by CanWest
for running a series of stories and an editorial that outlined alleged
political and financial irregularities in the administration of
Canadian Prime Minister Jean Chretien.

Elliot, the CanWest vice president, said the controversy arose because
Mills failed to let CanWest's owners know in advance of the series or
the editorial -- which called on Chretien, a friend of CanWest
patriarch Israel Asper, to resign.

Mills said he had not sought permission for either the investigative
series, or the editorial, because he believed in preserving "editorial
independence."

The problem, Mills said, was that the new owners were trying to
dictate local editorial policy from corporate headquarters.

Elliot described the concern over attempts at a national editorial
policy -- which has since been largely abandoned –- as a tempest
without substance.

He said CanWest’s owners were "well within their rights to propose
national editorials," and that their actions were no different that
those of other newspaper ownership groups prior to media
consolidation.

"There has never been any effort to control what was published in news
stories," he said.

Since his firing, Mills has become an outspoken critic of media
consolidation in Canada, and he testified in April before the Canadian
Senate committee conducting media hearings. He was also awarded a
Neiman Fellowship at Harvard University and is the incoming dean of
the journalism program at Algonquin College in Ottawa.

Meanwhile, Mills' firing prompted a public opinion poll by Canada's
largest media union that found that the incident had caused the public
to lose confidence in the media's editorial independence.

The results, union officials said, showed that Canadians were
concerned about press freedom and wanted the government to look into
problems associated with media concentration.

Peter Murdock, then vice-president of the communications union, told
Canada Newswire that the poll "demonstrates that Canadians want their
journalists protected from the whims and prejudice of media barons. It
is a grim warning to media corporations and government that Canadians
believe that the very integrity of the news that feeds our democracy
is being undermined by the effects of concentrated media ownership."

It is clear that online journalism at Canada’s newspapers has changed
dramatically under CanWest’s corporate control.

The company replaced independent newspaper Web sites with a common
site, Canada.com, which allows consumers to access local news by
clicking on the community they are interested in.

Elliot said community news on the Web site comes from local newspapers
and television stations, and said that consolidating that information
on a single Web site provides consumers better access to local news
across the country -- as well as reduces costs.

Bruce MacCormack, former head of interactive media at CanWest, said
supplementing newspaper and television content with a common Web site
has made access to news more efficient and allowed the corporation to
serve consumers better.

"The consumers of online media … were also television viewers and
newspaper readers, and at different points in the day, different media
were the best way to reach those people," MacCormack said.

"Someone watching television in the evening could be told about
stories being developed for the next day's newspaper, which is read on
the commuter train as people go to work," he said. "Then, during
working hours, the Internet was the most effective way to get them up
to date on news, and tease them for television use at night."

"These were handoff mechanisms that worked to reach people, so
consumers and the public were able to access services in the most
appropriate media, for whatever method they could best be served."

CanWest recently filed testimony with the FCC to support the
relaxation of cross-media regulations in the U.S. That testimony
challenges media critics on their central objections to cross-media
ownership.

"Today's media market is the richest and most diverse in the history
of modern media," the document says. "Cross-ownership has strengthened
media companies and encouraged greater diversity and more sources of
information.

"Experience," it adds, "simply does not support the contention of some
opponents of cross-media ownership, that consumers would have access
to fewer point of view, or would see only repackaged versions of the
same content across multimedia platforms."

Smith, the Ryerson professor -- despite her criticisms of the handling
of online media opportunities in Canada -- said she sees differences
between media ownership consolidation in Canada and in the United
States.

"In the U.S., because of the size of the market, the chance of one or
two owners gobbling up everything, I think, would be less than in
Canada," she said. "But there is some caution in that.

"If you are thinking about journalists, there are wonderful things
about operating in a converged environment. It was really exciting
thinking we could potentially have video, and it may be good for news
consumers in the sense that (online video) will be a faster way of
converging types of media.

"But you get a lot of the same stuff. There is no alternative. You are
going to lose some (editorial) voices in the process."

Subject: Yo Mr Sinclair why was I not surprised to see Kennedy dismiss me
after Victor Boudreau stepped up and added his two bits?

In my humble opinion you dudes nee to learn new tricks. Most of the
unions already went along with the sucker play so the retirees
pensions were never under threat anyway. The smart ones with enough
time in retired last year as soon as they smell what was in the wind.

Blaine Higgs just did his road trip to stir up a lot of shit so folks
would ignore his budget. Kinda like what Boudreau did with the ferries
in 2009. N'esyPas?

http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/new-brunswick/story/2013/04/24/nb-pension-reforms-liberals-legal.html

The Opposition Liberals are questioning whether proposed pension
reforms for retired civil servants are legal.

Retired civil servants could lose their annual cost-of-living
increases when markets perform poorly under the proposed changes.

Liberal MLA Victor Boudreau pointed to recent unrelated lawsuit where
a Court of Queen’s Bench judge ruled an employer could not
unilaterally change the rules for cost-of-living increases in pension
benefits.

Still, Boudreau stopped short of calling the reforms illegal.

"We don't have the resources to do that type of legal reference,” he said.

“But obviously the province does and could very easily refer this to
the courts to get a reference from them.”

Finance Minister Blaine Higgs had acknowledged during one of a series
of public meetings with retirees last week that he wasn't sure he
could legally change the pension rules.

After checking with government lawyers, however, he said Tuesday he is sure.

"I received an answer that said yes, we could,” said Higgs.

Will review case law
But Attorney General Marie-Claude Blais seemed unprepared for Liberal
questioning about the 2011 case, which involved hospital workers
across the province.

I sue some of the nasty bastards personally as well just like I did
seven very long years ago?

Better yet why don't I start with you T.J. Burke and call Vaugh

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

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

This video is comical (maybe it will go viral)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fFoQXeyfsbs&feature=youtu.be

Clearly I backed up Andre Murray your former friend even though you
and Sally Brooks and Evelyn Greene would not N'esy Pas Chucky Baby?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZbbmVnRsIh8&feature=youtu.be

Hell I even posted his entire email within his blog teasing me about ranting

http://thedavidamosrant.blogspot.ca/2013/03/fwd-audio-video-criminal-assault-who-is.html

http://justicedonedirtcheap.blogspot.ca/2013/03/audio-video-evidence-of-assault-who-is.html

Obviously the Fat Fred City Finest charged the wrong dude as usual
because Rodgers is a stooge for the corrupt cops just like you.
Clearly Andre Murray made a point of proving it and before he goes to
court this morning he sent your pals Sally and Jenn and even mean old
me further proof of what I have been saying about you ever since you
labelled me as a Hells Angel in 2004 then teased me about your buddy
Dan Busierres ilegally barring me from the Legislative properties.

That said this is really funny the bullshit coming from CBC on a
daily basis kills me

http://www.cbc.ca/informationmorningfredericton/2013/03/12/public-intervenor/

this was sick and sad and funny too

http://charlesotherpersonality.blogspot.ca/2008/04/jason-cooling-former-bodyguard-to.html

Small wonder why I save every word of things that concern N'esy Pas Chucky
Baby?

Hello Sally,
good to hear back from you, I must admit I hesitated to
include your email address in the first group of my mass email, campaign to
educate people as to what it means to live in Fredericton, New Brunswick.

I do truly miss you, and our times together as confusing as they were.

The SYSTEM appears to be working according to THEIR plans to keep us all
divided amongst ourselves, or at least not trusting each other as I believe
this is their plan. In any case, I have sent a copy of the audio video to
Charles Leblanc to see if he is going to offer or deny his support of
members of FREDERICTON POLICE FORCE.

I hope what David Amos has been saying about Charles Leblanc which appear
to me that David Amos believes Charles Leblanc is a FREDERICTON POLICE
FORCEprovocateur, I hope this does not become entirely true in my
mind.

The consequences of Charles Leblanc not publishing the audio video.

This is evidence that I am not guilty of assault, which is also evidence
of as Charles Leblanc claims that his nemesis, FREDERICTON POLICE FORCE are
once again victimizing the innocent.

Once again before I sign off, I always enjoyed our times together, as crazy
as the times may have been. You know what I mean by that, right.

Once again here is the ink to the subject audio/video evidence:
http://justicedonedirtcheap.blogspot.ca/2013/03/audio-video-evidence-of-assault-who-is.html

Also to be sure, I have never intended any disrespect to you.

Sincerely without malice, aforethought, ill will, vexation, or frivolity.

I believe that only propaganda exists these days. The other two terms
are merely myths that bullshitters use to jusify greedy wordsmiths who
try to wax poetic for whomever will pay them the most. If all else
fails the corporations hire the cheapest help they can get for local
events and just cut and paste and print and pay some other dude for
the fancy words to elp sell their newsrag. Original thought and common
sense evaporated with veritical intigration or whatever the evil
corporate bastards wish to call these days.

Perhaps some clever Indian in BC will ask me why I ran against Andy
Scott when he was the Minister of Indian Affairs EH John Duncan? I see
folks in your neck of the woods checking my work alot lately. No doubt
some of it is because of the upcoming election and the doings between
me and the Wally Opal and the RCMP back in 2005. However there is the
doings between the NEB and I in 2006 but that bullshit only involves
mere matters of money and the environment. YOU cannot deny that the
Minister of Indian Affairs has had Hard Copy of my concerns since 2004
and THAT involves the Captial Crime known and MURDER. YOUR head office
is in Amherst Nova Scotia which well within MY stomping gounds. Thus
that is where I will serve you the summons in order to bring the RCMP
and your lawyers to Federal Court CORRECT Minister Duncan? Perhaps you
should call the RCMP in Amherst Nova Scotia and ask them about the
documents and CD I served on them with a witness who has my Durable
Power of Attorney in August of 2012 in order to bring everything up to
date.

FYI its mostly the same materail that Wally Opal and the lawyer
Shirley Heafey as the Commissioer of Public Complaints Against the
RCMP received byway of registered US Mail (signature required) in 2005

Dear David,

Apologies for the delay in my response. This week was jammed with
board meetings for our riding and a massive volunteer appreciation BBQ
that we held yesterday. I'm just catching up on messages now.

Apropos the information you sent to me, I found it very interesting.
In fact, here in Calgary East, I'm planning a series of
workshops/public lectures that look at "Corruption in Canada". My
policy team and I are meeting this week to discuss the items you sent
to me and your case in particular to see what we can do in terms of,
at least, bringing some public awareness to this case and other cases
of corruption and questionable practices in Canadian governance and
government relations with businesses.

Do make sure to send us a follow up on what you decide to do, apropos
your proposed law suit. I will share the information with my team.

As my own follow up question, though, why have you sent me this
material as opposed to approaching your local MP and/or Liberal
candidate? Surely others would be interested too.

I know Ted. He's a great person and he'll be a wonderful MP. Do let me
know what transpires on that front.

Best of luck in your efforts. We'll chat soon,

Josipa

Say hey to Ted Hsu

I explained myself to your sister Ana ( who was quite nice) She
obviously told you I had called after you responded to my first emaiI.
She told me you were heading out to debate that night so I sent you
the email with the attachemnt about BHP and Potash Corp so you could
embarass some Conservatives as to why Harper stopped the hostile
takeover last year but clearly you did not read it in time for the
election but there is still a bit of time to stir the pot before the
Speech from the Throne in June

Anyway to answer your question I am the whistleblower that inspired
this hearing in Washington DC before I came home and ran for public
office 4 times in Canada between 2004 and 2006 then got stuck here
without my wife and kids

Hi David -

I just heard your message (sort of) on the telephone.
Unfortunately the line is garbled and all I could hear was your name and
a mention of a Senate website site. The rest is mostly garbled for some
reason and I can't make out your phone number or the website you were
trying to direct me towards. Were you on a cell phone, by chance? It
sounds like digital interference on the phone.

That said, I have indeed scanned through the emails you sent to me,
but I have a number of questions, as the order of the emails is all
over the place and it's
hard for me to track what happened when and who you were responding to
at certain times.

I thought that it might be easier for you to come to
one of our meetings (i.e. our board meeting on June 1st). We always
leave a slot of time for people from the community, like yourself, to
talk about issues thought to be important and which we, as Liberals, can
talk about.

Indeed, as I'm developing a lecture series for Calgary
East right now, it might be worthwhile having you succinctly explain the
situation and your role in whistleblowing, so that I can grasp the
issues at hand.

In the meantime, could you email me your number and a
link to the website you mentioned. I can start by looking at the site.

Cheers, Josipa

When you responded once again to the earlier email I figured it was

blocked this email to you and why. BTW after I called you and left a
message about this I did as I promised and called Bob Rae's office as
well. He did ot call me back but i saw his help checking my work on
the web while we talked.

Two and more importantly to me is the fact that you are the only

That fact alone proves to me that you are the only person who should

because you acted ethiclly with me I will keep this email in

Please study the text of the email when you get the time but checkout

of the Plaintiff/Defendant by Counterclaim to maintain an Order
restricting publication, to strike portions of the Statement of
Defence, strike the Counterclaim in it's entirety, and to refer this
proceeding to case management.

Statement of purpose in filing: To maintain an Order restricting

A F F I D A V I T

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

SWORN to before me at
St. John's, Province of Newfoundland and Labrador this 24th day of
January, 2005.

Hello Lisa,

David Amos asked me to contact you. I met him last June after he became
an independent (not representing any political party) candidate in our
federal
election that was held June 28. He was a candidate in our constituency of
Fundy (now called Fundy-Royal).

I wrote a profile story about him, as I did all other candidates. That
story appeared in the Kings County Record June 22. A second story, written
by one of my reporters, appeared on the same date, which was a report on
the candidates' debate held June 18.

As I recall David Amos came last of four candidates in the election.
The winner got 14,997 votes, while Amos got 358.

I have attached the two stories that appeared, as well as a photo
taken by reporter Erin Hatfield during the debate. I couldn't find the photo
that ran, but this one is very similar.

Raising a Little Hell- Lively Debate Provokes Crowd

By Erin Hatfield

"If you don't like what you got, why don't you change it? If your
world is all screwed up, rearrange it."

The 1979 Trooper song Raise a Little Hell blared on the speakers at
the 8th Hussars Sports Center Friday evening as people filed in to
watch the Fundy candidates debate the issues. It was an accurate, if
unofficial, theme song for the debate.

The crowd of over 200 spectators was dwarfed by the huge arena, but as
they chose their seats, it was clear the battle lines were drawn.
Supporters of Conservative candidate Rob Moore naturally took the blue
chairs on the right of the rink floor while John Herron's Liberalswent
left. There were splashes of orange, supporters of NDP Pat Hanratty,
mixed throughout. Perhaps the loudest applause came from a row towards
the back, where supporters of independent candidate David Amos sat.

The debate was moderated by Leo Melanson of CJCW Radio and was
organized by the Sussex Valley Jaycees. Candidates wereasked a barrage
of questions bypanelists Gisele McKnight of the Kings County Record
and Lisa Spencer of CJCW.

Staying true to party platforms for the most part, candidates
responded to questions about the gun registry, same sex marriage, the
exodus of young people from the Maritimes and regulated gas prices.
Herron and Moore were clear competitors,constantly challenging each
other on their answers and criticizing eachothers' party leaders.
Hanratty flew under the radar, giving short, concise responses to the
questions while Amos provided some food for thought and a bit of comic
relief with quirky answers. "I was raised with a gun," Amos said in
response to the question of thenational gun registry. "Nobody's
getting mine and I'm not paying 10 cents for it."

Herron, a Progressive Conservative MP turned Liberal, veered from his
party'splatform with regard to gun control. "It was ill advised but
well intentioned," Herron said. "No matter what side of the house I am
on, I'm voting against it." Pat Hanratty agreed there were better
places for the gun registry dollars to be spent.Recreational hunters
shouldn't have been penalized by this gun registry," he said.

The gun registry issues provoked the tempers of Herron and Moore. At
one point Herron got out of his seat and threw a piece of paper in
front of Moore. "Read that," Herron said to Moore, referring to the
voting record of Conservative Party leader Steven Harper. According to
Herron, Harper voted in favour of the registry on the first and second
readings of the bill in 1995. "He voted against it when it counted, at
final count," Moore said. "We needa government with courage to
register sex offenders rather than register the property of law
abiding citizens."

The crowd was vocal throughout the evening, with white haired men and
women heckling from the Conservative side. "Shut up John," one woman
yelled. "How can you talk about selling out?" a man yelled whenHerron
spoke about his fear that the Conservatives are selling farmers out.

Although the Liberal side was less vocal, Kings East MLA Leroy
Armstrong weighed in at one point. "You're out of touch," Armstrong
yelled to Moore from the crowd when the debate turned to the cost of
post-secondary education. Later in the evening Amos challenged
Armstrong to a public debate of their own. "Talk is cheap. Any time,
anyplace," Armstrong responded.

As the crowd made its way out of the building following the debate,
candidates worked the room. They shook hands with well-wishers and
fielded questions from spectators-all part of the decision-making
process for the June 28 vote.

Cutline – David Amos, independent candidate in Fundy, with some of his
favourite possessions—motorcycles.

The Unconventional Candidate

David Amos Isn't Campaigning For Your Vote, But….

By Gisele McKnight

FUNDY—He has a pack of cigarettes in his shirt pocket, a chain on his
wallet, a beard at least a foot long, 60 motorcycles and a cell phone
that rings to the tune of "Yankee Doodle."

Meet the latest addition to the Fundy ballot—David Amos.

The independent candidate lives in Milton, Massachusetts with his wife
and two children, but his place of residence does not stop him from
running for office in Canada.

One has only to be at least 18, a Canadian citizen and not be in jail
to meet Elections Canada requirements.

When it came time to launch his political crusade, Amos chose his
favourite place to do so—Fundy.

Amos, 52, is running for political office because of his
dissatisfaction with politicians.

"I've become aware of much corruption involving our two countries," he
said. "The only way to fix corruption is in the political forum."

The journey that eventually led Amos to politics began in Sussex in
1987. He woke up one morning disillusioned with life and decided he
needed to change his life.

"I lost my faith in mankind," he said. "People go through that
sometimes in midlife."

So Amos, who'd lived in Sussex since 1973, closed his Four Corners
motorcycle shop, paid his bills and hit the road with Annie, his 1952
Panhead motorcycle.

"Annie and I rode around for awhile (three years, to be exact)
experiencing the milk of human kindness," he said. "This is how you
renew your faith in mankind – you help anyone you can, you never ask
for anything, but you take what they offer."

For those three years, they offered food, a place to sleep, odd jobs
and conversation all over North America.

Since he and Annie stopped wandering, he has married, fathered a son
and a daughter and become a house-husband – Mr. Mom, as he calls
himself.

He also describes himself in far more colourful terms—a motorcyclist
rather than a biker, a "fun-loving, free-thinking, pig-headed
individual," a "pissed-off Maritimer" rather than an activist, a proud
Canadian and a "wild colonial boy."

Ironically, the man who is running for office has never voted in his life.

"But I have no right to criticize unless I offer my name," he said.
"It's alright to bitch in the kitchen, but can you walk the walk?"

Amos has no intention of actively campaigning.

"I didn't appreciate it when they (politicians) pounded on my door
interrupting my dinner," he said. "If people are interested, they can
call me. I'm not going to drive my opinions down their throats."

And he has no campaign budget, nor does he want one.

"I won't take any donations," he said. "Just try to give me some. It's
not about money. It goes against what I'm fighting about."

What he's fighting for is the discussion of issues – tainted blood,
the exploitation of the Maritimes' gas and oil reserves and NAFTA, to
name a few.

"The political issues in the Maritimes involve the three Fs – fishing,
farming and forestry, but they forget foreign issues," he said. "I'm
death on NAFTA, the back room deals and free trade. I say chuck it
(NAFTA) out the window.

NAFTA is the North American Free Trade Agreement which allows an
easier flow of goods between Canada, the United States and Mexico.

Amos disagrees with the idea that a vote for him is a wasted vote.

"There are no wasted votes," he said. "I want people like me,
especially young people, to pay attention and exercise their right.
Don't necessarily vote for me, but vote."

Although…if you're going to vote anyway, Amos would be happy to have
your X by his name.

"I want people to go into that voting booth, see my name, laugh and
say, 'what the hell.'"

I don't believe John Conway knows as much as he thinks he does so he
deserved to be somewhat more enlightened EH Brad Wall? Rest assured
that I called him and told him as much as he wanted to know while
Lingenfelter's campain manager played as dumb as a post about my
concerns.

However as dumb as Lingenfelter and his cohorts may pretend to be if
the NDP boss in SK truly practiced old style, right wing “take no
prisoners” politicking he who have embarassed the hell out of Brad
Wall last year with the letter from Jac Nasser to mean old me that is
hereto attached.

Anyone with two clues between their ears or even a dumb NDP dude would
know that BHP Billiton's Marius Kloppers visiting Brad Wall during an
election campaign is just no coincidence at all. Something smells
truly rotten indeed. However the only way to resolve my concerns is
byway of litigation CORRECT MR WALL?

nonsense didn't work out too well for the long gone lawyer and former
Minister of Health Mikey Murphy partcularly after the nasty French
bastard Chucky Lebanc and hs pals violated my privacy and blogged
about N'esy Pas? I told the cops last nght to simply Google my name and
the dumb bastards laughed.

FYI type in Davd Amos to see that I wa not jokng with the smiling dumb

I am not responding to Dave Amos' emails, but I believe I have heard
he has some "issues". I have no sense of what his involvement is with
the organization or why he is threatening law suits (my receptionist
just intercepted a call and he told her he didn't want to leave a
message and to just tell her that he would "see me in court").

Does anyone have any idea what to do about this guy? Should we just
ignore him?

COALITION CALLS ON LEADERS TO ACT IMMEDIATELY TO STOP OIL AND GAS
EXPLORATION IN GULF OF ST. LAWRENCE
For Immediate Release - October 4, 2010
PICTOU, NS – Today’s decision by the Canada Newfoundland and Labrador
Offshore Petroleum Board (CNLOPB) to allow seismic blasting in the
Gulf of St. Lawrence was met with shock and concern by a coalition
calling for a moratorium on oil and gas development in the Gulf of St.
Lawrence. The coalition - made of aboriginal, fishing, and
environmental organizations - is calling on municipal, provincial,
federal, and aboriginal leaders to act swiftly to halt the testing.

“With this decision, the CNLOPB has approved an activity that could
damage this entire precious ecosystem,” according to Mary Gorman of
the Save Our Seas and Shores, “We want this decision reversed
immediately, and action taken to allow jurisdictions bordering on the
Gulf to have a say in its future.”

“Seismic testing could start in the next 48 hours, potentially
damaging marine mammals like blue whales, and disrupting fish and
fisheries. This approval has given oil and gas as a toehold in the
Gulf that could lead to full scale drilling,” according to Danielle
Giroux of the. “Fishermen I work for need more say over protecting the
Gulf. We want the CNLOPB’s decision reversed immediately.”

“An oil spill in the Gulf of St. Lawrence would impact fish stocks and
coastal communities in Quebec, PEI, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and
Newfoundland. Moreover, the national importance of this ecosystem must
be upheld.” says Gretchen Fitzgerald, of the Sierra Club Canada. “
Federal laws to protect endangered species and fish habitat recognize
the importance of protecting our shared biodiversity and resources.
This decision is not reflecting this shared responsibility or concerns
expressed by groups around the Gulf.”

Bennett was assisting Cape Bretoners opposing a coal-fired power plant
at Point Aconi in Nova Scotia when he first caught the attention
Elizabeth May, then Sierra Club Canada’s executive-director. May liked
his approach – among other things, he’d brought his wife and two
daughters to a potluck supper meeting and assured the group he was
there to hear from them, not issue orders. Several years – and, after
an interview on a train ride from Toronto to Ottawa -- later, she
hired him as the Club’s director of atmosphere and energy.

He managed environmental education campaigns; was the Club’s main
spokesperson on air, energy, automotive and climate change issues;
prepared fundraising proposals; and wrote position papers and research
articles.

During this period, Bennett also headed the Climate Action Network, an
association of up to 100 environmental, health, labour and faith
organizations from 10 provinces and two territories. There, he was
also the chief spokesperson, wrote releases and papers, and acted as
liaison with government officials, ministers, MPs, their staffs and
industry leaders. He did similar work with a successor organization,
ClimateforChange.ca.

It was then that he was involved in preparing reporters for the
federal Conservative government’s climate plan. “I figured we had to
talk to the media. We had to meet the government head-on, and say what
they were doing was going backward. We were very effective.”

The work “succeeded to the extent that when Stéphane Dion became
Liberal leader, the party thought the climate and environment were
where they should campaign. They were right; they just did it very
badly.”

A spirit of collaboration

Most recently, Bennett was communications director for the Green Party
of Canada, including the 2008 campaign in which the Greens, led by
May, won nearly a million votes and was the only party to increase its
total.

“It’s a well-rounded background, ranging from activist events to
negotiating in the halls of power,” Bennett says. “My knowledge covers
the spectrum of issues across the country.”

Bennett’s experience has demonstrated the importance of collaborating
with other groups and including as many people as possible, and their
ideas, in whatever work must be done. That was especially obvious in
the creation of the Green Budget Coalition, which analyzed federal
budgets in terms of their impact on environmental concerns.

The Kennedy electorate is a large electorate (about 2.5 times the size of
the entire State of Victoria) with almost 150,000 residents, over 120
schools and over 140 localities all with various service and sporting clubs.
For this reason we receive quite a large volume of faxes, letters, e-mails
and phone calls each day and while our staff aim for a 7-day turnaround in
correspondence - unfortunately this is not always possible. However, if you
have not heard back from anyone at the office within 7-14 days, please
telephone the office on the numbers listed below.
If the matter is urgent please phone 1800 810 519, or if you are not in the
electorate, 07 4061 6066.
To save disappointment we should advise that correspondence from outside the
electorate is not given the priority that correspondence within the
electorate is given.
That said, many thanks for your message, and we will endeavour to get back

Hi David. My name is James and I have been asked to send this message onto
you from Paul…

Dear Mr. Amos,

Thank you for informing me of your concerns regarding Canada's role in
Afghanistan after February 2007.

The NDP voted against this motion because we believe it is the wrong
mission for Canada. It does not reflect the peace-making values that
Canadians want to see our forces undertake on the world stage. This forced
motion essentially ties our aid and development funds to war-making, and we
cannot support that.

It is quite clear that Harper's Conservatives aren't interested in due
diligence. They're interested in dragging us further into a US-style combat
role and away from our traditional peace keeping role. Much like the
Liberals before them, the Conservatives have failed to tell Canadians:

- What the chain of command and control will be for this mission.
- What the definition of success will be for our troops.
- What our exit strategy will be.

Many Canadians have written me wanting answers and it is our duty as
representatives of our constituents, to get answers before committing to any
new missions overseas. As any soldier knows, time spent on reconnaissance is
never wasted.

New Democrats recognize that Canada does have a role in assisting Afghanis
in rebuilding their country. Afghanistan is the largest recipient of
Canadian overseas development aid and we fully support the continuation of
that funding - outside of this mission.

Thank you again for the time and effort you have taken to share your
thoughts with me, and for bringing your opinion on this matter to my
attention.

Sincerely,

Paul Dewar, MP Ottawa Centre

Subject: Portions of wiretap tapes to impeach George W. Bush and put a
stop Harper's motion tommorrow

Hey
Before all the Parliamentarians argue and then vote to support
further Canadian deaths in one of George W. Bush's Wars for Global Control
for the benefit of his corporate cohorts perhaps, you should at least listen
to the attachments if you do not wish to bother to read what Billy Casey and
the Bankers got on May 12th. If I can assist in preventing the demise of
just one more Canadian warrior in a malicious foreign war, all of my work
will have been worth it EH?
If everyone ignores me as usual, I will not be surprised. At
least I will sleep well with my conscience tonight because I know I have
done my very best to stop the nonsense since early 2002 long before the War
in Iraq began. None of you deserve to sleep well at all because you all
supported Harper's orders to send our people to war even before the 39th
Parliament sat this year. As far as I am concerned the blood of four very
honourable soldiers can be found on your hands. Shame on all of you for not
even bothering to honour our dead by lowering the flag on the Peacetower. As
long as I have been aware and could consider myself a Proad Canadian, I
thought we were peacekeepers rather than poorly paid hired guns for crooked
corporations, corrupt politicians and their wicked Yankee bible pounding
buddies.

Moncton budget proposes cutting tax rate after assessments soar

City staff outline 2022 budget forecasts $176 million on operations, and $108 million on capital projects

Shane Magee· CBC News · Posted: Nov 03, 2021 4:22 PM AT

Moncton staff outlined the proposed 2022 budget on Wednesday that includes a 10 cent tax rate decrease. (Shane Magee/CBC)

Moncton staff have proposed cutting the city's tax rate six per cent next year as a result of rising provincial property assessments.

The tax rate would be reduced by more than 10 cents from $1.6497 per $100 of assessed value to $1.5472 if the budget is approved by city council. It's the first tax rate change since 2016.

The assessed value of properties in the city, determined by the province, rose 10.89 per cent, leading council to recommend a tax rate cut.

The budget indicates a one cent change in the tax rate translates to a reduced tax bill of $22.50 for a home valued at $225,000, and $35 for a $350,000 home. The rate change would affect all types of properties, not just homes.

City staff outlined the proposed 2022 operating and capital budgets during a committee meeting Wednesday.

The budget forecasts spending $176 million on operations, and $108 million on capital projects like roads, water and sewer systems and on municipal buildings.

Councillors question grant spending

Spending on grants drew the first suggestions to change the budget. The city forecasts spending $7.6 million on grants to community non-profits.

Multiple councillors voiced support for increasing the $25,000 grant to Ensemble, which had sought $51,000 next year. Ensemble presented to council its plans for an overdose prevention site earlier in the week.

"We need to support them as much as we can," Coun. Paulette Theriault said of non-profits that care for vulnerable people. Coun. Bryan Butler moved a motion to increase the funding to the amount Ensemble had requested.

Jacques Doucet, the city's chief financial officer, told councillors they may be able to find room in the budget, but it could also require changes to the tax rate. The request to increase that grant will be considered later this week.

Others questioned city grants for the House of Nazareth homeless shelter. Councillors have heard from residents and businesses in the area affected by increased drug use and crime related to those using the shelter.

When the shelter relocated to a larger building on Albert Street, the organization claimed it would offer mental health and other support services in-house but that didn't happen.

Coun. Marty Kingston asked if they're working to add those services.

Jocelyn Cohoon, the city's director of recreation, said the city is trying to confirm if that's going to happen.

The city has budgeted to provide the shelter with $25,000 grants for three years. Cohoon said some of the grant money the organization requested will be put in a reserve until the city knows what the group plans to do.

Mayor Dawn Arnold said she liked that approach.

"We need a bit of leverage there," Arnold said. She said the "elephant in the room" continues to be mental health services under the province's jurisdiction.

"We have to advocate long and hard to our province on that one," Arnold said.

Codiac RCMP spending rises to $39M in proposed 2022 budget

Moncton to go ahead with $57M RCMP station plans

The budget doesn't include any of the requested $3 million by the Humanity Project recently. City staff indicated that they are still analyzing the request and will bring a report to council in the future.

Overall, staff wages, benefits and overtime make up a significant portion of the operations budget at $59 million. The budget shows 693 full-time city staff, down from 697 this year.

The city's share of the Codiac Regional Policing Authority budget, which covers 70 per cent of the Codiac Regional RCMP budget, at $27.7 million. That's up from $23.4 million last year.

The budget has climbed in part because of a new collective agreement that included salary increases for the Mounties.

Southern N.B. cities propose property tax cuts for 2022

Homeowner tax bills and municipal revenues will still increase because of higher property values

CBC News · Posted: Nov 04, 2021 7:00 AM AT

Fredericton is one of at least a few cities expecting a big boost in revenue from higher property tax assessments. (Daniel McHardie/CBC)

Some New Brunswick cities are looking to cut their property tax rates for 2022 because higher assessed values are boosting their budgets.

The overall provincial tax base grew by 7.7 per cent this year, according to Service New Brunswick - or $5.2 billion - due to new construction and real estate sales.

It means a windfall for some municipalities, which are now in the midst of their annual budget deliberations.

In Moncton, assessed property values have increased by 10.89 per cent, according to municipal budget documents posted online. And the city is looking at reducing the property tax rate by 10.25 cents to $1.5472 per $100 of assessed value.

In Saint John, an online budget proposal shows assessed value up by 6.2 per cent and the finance committee proposing a 7.5 cent reduction in the tax rate, which would take it to $1.71 per $100.

In Fredericton, assessed property values are up by an average of 9.2 per cent. And this week city councillors voted to cut the property tax rate by 2.25 cents to $1.4086 per $100.

The consensus on council was that 2.25 cents was "fair," said Henri Mallet, chair of Fredericton's municipal finance and corporate administration committee.

Henri Mallet, Ward 12 councillor in Fredericton, and chair of the city's finance committee says a 2.25 cent cut is a "happy medium." The average homeowner will be paying more than $300 more on their tax bill. (City of Fredericton)

It will allow the city to "address some needs" and "give back to citizens," Mallet said.

Despite the rate cut, Fredericton homeowners will see their tax bill increase by hundreds of dollars.

Average house assessments in the city have risen to $252,464, said Mallet. That means an average tax bill will increase by $348 to $3,556.21.

City revenues, in turn, are expected to increase by about $8 million, he said.

Spending will increase on renewing infrastructure, such as roads and pipes.

"The longer that we push those down the road the cost gets higher and higher," Mallet said.

The extra money will also help cover increasing costs, he said, such as solid waste tipping fees, insurance premiums and other bills that need to be paid.

Moncton budget proposes cutting tax rate after assessments soar

The planning department will get an additional staff member to help with big projects like reviewing the heritage bylaw and developing a plan for the city core.

Building services will gain a new "environmental" staff position, said Mallet, to help ensure facilities are as energy efficient as possible.

An extra sidewalk plow operator will be hired.

A sidewalk ice-breaker project will be piloted.

And side streets, known as "Priority 3", will get some salting in winter.

The city is foregoing an extra $2 million it would have collected, had it not cut the property tax rate.

In that scenario, average tax bills would have been almost $60 higher at $3.613.01.

Some councillors had suggested that extra money could be spent on things like housing, environmental initiatives, and trail safety, said Mallet.

They also debated an even bigger cut to the tax rate — four cents per $100 of assessment — but that was voted down, he said.

"We also need to balance our budget."

It's a much different financial position than the councillor has ever seen in his time at City Hall.

"For the last five years the budget was really thin," he said.

Capital spending had to be cut in order to maintain services, said Mallet, after assessments were frozen in 2018, and revenues fell last year due to the pandemic.

The full city budget is scheduled to be voted on Nov. 22.

Other cities

Budget deliberations in Moncton are taking place this week.

If all goes well, said city spokesperson Isabelle LeBlanc, the budget may be ratified Friday.

Dieppe had the highest tax base growth in the province at 12.75 per cent.

Its budget will be presented Nov. 15.

It's a different situation in northern New Brunswick, where tax bases have also grown, but by smaller margins.

The City of Campbellton will release its budget information on Nov. 15 as well, said Mayor Ian Comeau.

Tax base growth in that city has been 2.99 per cent, he said.

"Maintaining our tax rate would be ideal for us at this time," said Comeau.

Edmundston is "not in the same boat as Fredericton, Moncton or Saint John in regards to increased assessed values," said spokesperson Mychèle Poitras.

Its budget is scheduled to be adopted Nov. 9.

In Miramichi, the tax base has increased by 4.42 per cent, but a tax cut has not been proposed, said treasurer Nancy Gorman.

The final budget is expected to be presented Nov. 9.

A budget presentation and approval meeting in Bathurst is planned for Nov. 15.

According to the province, Bathurst's tax base grew by 5.84 per cent.

Moncton council won't sanction councillor for Facebook posts attacking activist

Coun. Pierre Boudreau's apology accepted as sufficient
Shane Magee · CBC News · Posted: Apr 19, 2021 6:59 PM AT

Pierre A. Boudreau
Councillor-at-Large

506.866.8069
pierre.boudreau@moncton.ca

Pierre is serving his fifth term as a City Councillor-at-Large, after
being re-elected in May 2016. He brings to his role on Council a
background in law and a passion to grow an economically sustainable
city.

Retired from practising law in 2010, Pierre now devotes most of his
time to Council work. He is known for meticulously researching before
decision making on Council issues. Key areas of focus for him are
sustainable economic growth and proper maintenance and upgrades to the
City’s infrastructure assets.

Pierre’s interest in politics came at an early age as he served as
president of the student council at École Vanier. He went on to
complete a Bachelor of Arts degree from the Université de Moncton in
1972 and then a law degree from the University of New Brunswick in
1975.

Pierre and his high school sweetheart, Rita, married in 1973. They are
the proud parents of two adult children and grandparents of Emilie and
Cédrick Alexandre Boudreau. When he is not serving residents of
Moncton, Pierre enjoys reading, cycling and photography.

> WikiLeaks' Julian Assange to leave embassy 'soon'
>
> Kim Hjelmgaard, USA TODAY 11:08 a.m. EDT August 18, 2014
>
> LONDON — WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange announced Monday that after
> spending two years in the Embassy of Ecuador in London he will "soon"
> leave the diplomatic safe harbor.
>
> He made the comments during a joint press conference with Ecuador's
> Foreign Minister Ricardo Patino. Assange did not elaborate on the
> timing or address whether an impasse over his potential extradition
> had been resolved.
>
> It was suggested in the British press over the weekend that Assange
> may need hospital treatment for a heart defect and lung condition and
> that any move could be to remedy those suspected health problems.
>
> However, Assange refused to be drawn on those specific points Monday,
> saying only that when he does leave it will "probably not" be for the
> reasons reported on.
>
> WikiLeaks spokesman Kristinn Hrafnsson later clarified Assange's
> claim. Hrafnsson said the issue of Assange's extradition must first be
> resolved before he can leave.
>
> "The plan is to leave as soon as the U.K. government decides to honor
> its obligations," Hrafnsson said, referring to guarantees he is
> seeking over the right to travel to Ecuador.
>
> Still, Assange said that his health has suffered as a result of his
> confinement.
>
> "It's (the embassy) an environment in which any healthy person would
> find themselves soon enough with certain difficulties they would have
> to manage," Assange said. He said the embassy "has no outside areas,
> no sunlight."
>
> Assange, 43, fled to the embassy in 2012 fearing extradition to the
> U.S. via Sweden, where authorities want to question him over
> allegations related to a sexual assault.
>
> Ecuador has granted him refugee status and says it remains committed
> to his protection, but British police have so far refused to let
> Assange leave the embassy and it is thought that he would be arrested
> if he tried to do so.
>
> In 2010, WikiLeaks published a tranche of leaked military and
> diplomatic cables and Assange has been the subject of an investigation
> by U.S. authorities.

Dear Mr. Amos,

Thank you for your follow up e-mail to me today. I was on days off over
the holidays and returned to work this evening. Rest assured I was not
ignoring or procrastinating to respond to your concerns.

As your attachment sent today refers from Premier Graham, our position
is clear on your dead calf issue: Our forensic labs do not process
testing on animals in cases such as yours, they are referred to the
Atlantic Veterinary College in Charlottetown who can provide these
services. If you do not choose to utilize their expertise in this
instance, then that is your decision and nothing more can be done.

As for your other concerns regarding the US Government, false
imprisonment and Federal Court Dates in the US, etc... it is clear
that Federal authorities are aware of your concerns both in Canada and
theUS. These issues do not fall into the purvue of Detachment policing
in Petitcodiac, NB.

It was indeed an interesting and informative conversation we had on
December 23rd, and I wish you well in all of your future endeavors.

Sincerely,

Warren McBeath, Cpl.

Say Hoka Hey to your snotty hubby the latest publisher of the Kings
County Record. wiil ya?

Perhaps he and you buddies in Kings county should review what
his/Irvings paper wrote about me four god damned years ago. You will
find that article within a blog of chucky Leblanc's that he had Goggle
delete. It is within an email that his editor sent to a reporter and I
in the USA before I ran for a seat in Parliament again. Never forget
my words are legally published int the USA according to its
Consitution. Scotty editor sent her email to me in the USA and to a
fellow reporter too. Whereas you are just a criminal lawer in New
Brunswick I doubt that you have a licence to argue civil lawsuits in
the USA. Perhaps you should find a lawyer now EH Ms. Menard? Why not
ask the Irving's new sorta son in law who replaced Paul Zed (the
lawyer in New York or whereever) to take me on?

Veritas vincit

First the Irving's Rags write this about the doings between T.J. Burke
and I last year. have my blog and emails killed then sing your praises
about your legal Bullshit next year? Have alook for yourself lady

Threat against Burke taken seriously

By STEPHEN LLEWELLYN
dgleg@nb.aibn.com
Published Thursday May 24th, 2007
Appeared on page A1
An RCMP security detail has been guarding Justice Minister and
Attorney General T.J. Burke because of threats made against him
recently.

Burke, the Liberal MLA for Fredericton-Fort Nashwaaksis, wouldn't
explain the nature of the threats.

"I have had a particular individual or individuals who have made
specific overtures about causing harm towards me," he told reporters
Wednesday.

"The RCMP has provided security to me recently by accompanying me to a
couple of public functions where the individual is known to reside or
have family members in the area," said Burke. "It is nice to have some
added protection and that added comfort."

The RCMP provides protection to the premier and MLAs with its VIP security unit.

Burke didn't say when the threat was made but it's believed to have
been in recent weeks.

"When a threat is posed to you and it is a credible threat, you have
to be cautious about where you go and who you are around," he said.
"But again, I am more concerned about my family as opposed to my own
personal safety."

Burke said he doesn't feel any differently and he has not changed his
pattern of activity.

"It doesn't bother me one bit," he said. "It makes my wife feel awful nervous."

Burke served in an elite American military unit before becoming a
lawyer and going into politics in New Brunswick.

"(I) have taken my own precautions and what I have to do to ensure my
family's safety," he said. "I am a very cautious person in general due
to my background and training.

"I am comfortable with defending myself or my family if it ever had to happen."

Burke said it is not uncommon for politicians to have security concerns.

"We do live unfortunately in an age and in a society now where threats
have to be taken pretty seriously," he said.

Since the terrorism attacks in the United States on Sept. 11, 2001,
security in New Brunswick has been
beefed up.

Metal detectors were recently installed in the legislature and all
visitors are screened.

The position of attorney general is often referred to as the
province's "top cop."

Burke said sometimes people do not differentiate between his role as
the manager of the justice system and the individual who actually
prosecutes them.

"With the job sometimes comes threats," he said. "I have had numerous
threats since Day 1 in office."

Burke said he hopes his First Nations heritage has nothing to do with it.

"I think it is more of an issue where people get fixated on a matter
and they believe you are personally responsible for assigning them
their punishment or their sanction," he said.

Is the threat from someone who was recently incarcerated?

"I probably shouldn't answer that," he replied.

Reporters asked when the threat would be over.

"I don't think a threat ever passes once it has been made," said
Burke. "You have to consider the credibility of the source."

Bruce Fitch, former justice minister in the Conservative government,
said "every now and again there would be e-mails that were not
complimentary."

"I did have a meeting with the RCMP who are in charge of the security
of the MLAs and ministers," said Fitch.

"They look at each and every situation."

Fitch said he never had bodyguards assigned to him although former
premier Bernard Lord and former health minister Elvy Robichaud did
have extra security staff assigned on occasion.

He said if any MLA felt threatened, he or she would discuss it with the RCMP.

Cohen: Addicted to chaos, Donald Trump refuses to fade from public life

Andrew Cohen

Nov 03, 2021

PORTLAND, Maine — It was a conventional, natural and widely shared expectation after the presidential election of Nov. 3, 2020, that the loser would leave public life.

Isn’t this what one-term presidents do after the voters “hand you your hat and send you to the bus stop,” as George H.W. Bush described losing the White House to Bill Clinton in 1992? You go home and go to ground — writing your memoirs, planning your presidential library, becoming an elder statesman.

Nurse your wounds in Kennebunkport, Maine (George Bush), or Plains, Ga. (Jimmy Carter). Give dull speeches and make real money. Join the world’s most exclusive club of former U.S. presidents.

Now we know the idea that Donald Trump would fade away — even after a campaign challenging the legitimacy of the election — was always fanciful, even as Joe Biden came to power and COVID-19 receded.

The Republic endured in 2020, but so did Trump.

From his five-star redoubt in Mar-a-Lago, Fla., Trump plans his comeback. He raises millions. He perpetuates the big lie of the stolen election. He anoints loyalists and excommunicates others. He rails on social media. He holds rallies.

At the same time, Trump stonewalls attempts to hold him accountable for the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol. When the House special committee demands relevant documents from him or his staff — memos, reports, telephone logs — he refuses to release them. As always, he goes to court, trying to run out the clock.

Like everything else about Donald Trump, it is all outrageous and strangely normal. Trump may have never heard of Napoleon, but Trump has become the Corsican corporal in his own unhappy exile, preparing his return from Elba.

His road to restoration became clearer Tuesday when the Republicans reclaimed the governorship of Virginia. True or not, Trump is taking credit for Glenn Youngkin’s victory, which he’ll use to inject himself into the 2022 congressional mid-term elections. And then, of course, to run for president in 2024.

If Trump succeeds in winning a second non-consecutive term, he will be the only president to do so other than Grover Cleveland, who won the presidency again in 1892. While both left office vowing to return — Cleveland’s wife told staff at the White House they would be back in four years — Cleveland was a spirited reformer and an effective president.

(When Cleveland ran the first time, he was tainted by personal scandal, like Trump. His accusers said he had sired a child out of wedlock, which produced the memorable chant of the campaign: “Ma, Ma, where’s my Pa? Gone to the White House, ha, ha, ha!”)

Scandal didn’t stop Cleveland and it won’t stop Trump. The real or prospective impediments to his return to elective politics have not yet thwarted him — personal bankruptcy, corporate criminality, allegations of sexual assault, and, most of all, inciting the insurrectionists on January 6.

Is the Department of Justice going to charge Trump for his role in events that day? Will authorities in Georgia make a case of election interference around his phone call urging a senior official to find Trump thousands of votes? Will authorities in New York City bring down his business? So far, none has.

We now see the consequences of the failure of more Republicans to join Democrats in the Senate in convicting Trump of high crimes and misdemeanours last winter. Had they found him guilty, he would have been unable to hold public office.

Thanks to excellent reporting, we know more about Trump on Jan. 6. Consider this: For some three hours, as the mob roamed the halls of Congress, looting offices and looking to lynch Mike Pence, Trump sat in the Oval Office, refusing many entreaties from his daughter and others to urge the rioters to stop.

He liked the chaos too much. This is the man who yearns to be president again, venerated by Republicans, seething with rage, exploiting race and fear in this fraught country.

In the end Donald Trump may not win again. But he haunts us still.

Two Days in June: John F. Kennedy and the 48 Hours that Made History Hardcover – Nov. 11 2014

by Andrew Cohen(Author)

On two consecutive days in June 1963, in two lyrical speeches, John F. Kennedy pivots dramatically and boldly on the two greatest issues of his time: nuclear arms and civil rights. In language unheard in lily white, Cold War America, he appeals to Americans to see both the Russians and the "Negroes" as human beings. His speech on June 10 leads to the Limited Nuclear Test Ban Treaty of 1963; his speech on June 11 to the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Based on new material -- hours of recently uncovered documentary film shot in the White House and the Justice Department, fresh interviews, and a rediscovered draft speech -- Two Days in June captures Kennedy at the high noon of his presidency in startling, granular detail which biographer Sally Bedell Smith calls "a seamless and riveting narrative, beautifully written, weaving together the consequential and the quotidian, with verve and authority." Moment by moment, JFK's feverish forty-eight hours unspools in cinematic clarity as he addresses "peace and freedom." In the tick-tock of the American presidency, we see Kennedy facing down George Wallace over the integration of the University of Alabama, talking obsessively about sex and politics at a dinner party in Georgetown, recoiling at a newspaper photograph of a burning monk in Saigon, planning a secret diplomatic mission to Indonesia, and reeling from the midnight murder of Medgar Evers.
There were 1,036 days in the presidency of John F. Kennedy. This is the story of two of them.

Striking workers heckle, jeer as premier addresses CUPE news conference

Government schedules its own news conference on dispute for 2:45 p.m.

Jacques Poitras· CBC News · Posted: Nov 05, 2021 10:08 AM AT

Higgs, Shephard and Flemming provide update on strike by public-sector workers

35 minutes ago

Live

Flemming provide an update on strike by public-sector workers, hours after CUPE held its own news conference. 0:00

New Brunswick Premier Blaine Higgs crashed a news conference by the Canadian Union of Public Employees on Friday morning as efforts to end a week-old strike by public-sector workers appeared to go off the rails.

CUPE officials were laying out a counter-proposal they made to the government overnight when the premier appeared at the news conference outside the legislature in Fredericton.

"That's not how bargaining works," CUPE New Brunswick president Stephen Drost told reporters later, though Drost had challenged Higgs to "come out right now and … settle this" just before the premier's arrival.

Higgs listened to Drost outline Thursday's discussions for several minutes before the union offered him its microphone to address the crowd.

Higgs then laid out his position, defending pension changes in the province's offer, and getting into back-and-forth debates with some of the union leaders and with striking workers in the crowd.

Canadian Union of Public Employees president Steve Drost handed the microphone to Premier Blaine Higgs at a union news conference Friday in Fredericton. Higgs defended the pension changes in the province's offer the night before, and said health-care workers need to go back to work. (CBC)

"No one loses anything in their current plans," he said, trying to explain details of the province's proposal on pensions for two CUPE locals not part of the existing shared-risk plan.

He said health-care workers need to come back to work, which was met with jeers from the crowd.

Eventually, he asked for a more orderly question-and-answer format. At that point, CUPE asked for its microphone back and the premier left.

The dramatic and unconventional confrontation took place just an hour after Higgs told the legislature that CUPE had promised after a marathon meeting Thursday to recommend a government offer to its members.

The first of more than 20,000 CUPE members began walking off the job last Friday morning after contract negotiations with the province collapsed for the second time.

The striking workers include jail guards, school custodians, educational assistants, court stenographers, and clerical and cleaning staff working for regional health authorities.

Higgs said in question period Friday morning that "we had a path forward when we left last night" that CUPE leaders promised to recommend to members, so he was disappointed to see health-care workers still picketing.

"We had an agreement last night," he said. But he said there was a condition attached to it about health-care workers returning to their jobs quickly.

Higgs said Attorney-General Ted Flemming and Health Minister Dorothy Shephard "are reviewing our options at this stage," a reference to the possibility of back-to-work legislation or the use of the province's emergency order to end the strike.

"We are in a pandemic," Higgs said. "We will address the issues in our hospitals. … We will be moving forward to get health-care workers back to work."

The government has scheduled a news conference for 2:45 p.m.

Drost told the outdoor news conference that he sent the government a counter-proposal to Thursday night's offer at 4:03 a.m.

He said if the province had accepted it, he had been prepared to send union members back to work Friday morning, but no response had come.

"We have gone above and beyond every step of this way to protect the public and protect you, but once again, tricks are being played," he said.

Higgs wants striking employees to be willing to discuss pension changes

Meeting between Premier and CUPE leader ends, but both sides mum on outcome

The first of several CUPE locals representing 20,000 workers walked off the job the morning of Oct. 29.

Drost arrived for the meeting with Higgs on Thursday at 1 p.m. and left at 8:45 p.m.

The dispute has focused on CUPE's push for wage increases, but Higgs is insisting that the union also agree to shift two of the union locals into the province's shared-risk pension plan.

That dispute over pensions was the focus of Higg's impromptu debates with CUPE members during his surprise appearance at the news conference.

Higgs said during question period that the province had received a response from CUPE but would not say what it was.

But he said the union had raised "something additional" that wasn't part of Thursday's discussions.

"We are now focused on the emergency order and the health-care system in our province."

Drost called Higgs's appearance at the news conference "so bizarre" and would not say whether he thought health-care locals would comply if they were legally ordered back to work.

"This has been so unusual, this round of bargaining. We've never seen anything like this, ever."

Meeting between Premier and CUPE leader ends, but both sides mum on outcome

No details released and no announcement made about whether meeting will resume Friday

A meeting between Premier Blaine Higgs and the New Brunswick president of the Canadian Union of Public Employees wrapped up Thursday night with no clear outcome toward ending a week-old strike.

Stephen Drost arrived at Chancery Place, where the Premier's office is located, a few minutes before 1 p.m. He and fellow CUPE officials left shortly before 9 p.m.

A government spokesperson confirmed the meeting was over but would not say if there was any result or if the meeting would resume Friday morning.

CUPE spokesperson Simon Ouellette also confirmed the discussions had ended but had no further comment.

The first of more than 20,000 CUPE members began walking off the job last Friday morning after contract negotiations with the province collapsed for the second time.

Higgs told reporters Thursday morning that he still hoped the union will bend on his push to add another CUPE local to the province's shared-risk pension plan.

"From the beginning there's been this 'I won't talk about it,'" he said. "I don't think any of us can go in with the attitude that we won't talk about it. That isn't the spirit of any meeting you'd have to try to resolve conflict."

He said he didn't expect the meeting with Drost to resolve the dispute, but it could determine whether negotiations can resume.

He added that he was prepared to talk to Drost for as long as it took.

Higgs to meet with CUPE Thursday as opposition to single 'wage mandate' heats up

Higgs wants striking employees to be willing to discuss pension changes

"It's the priority, so for me it won't really matter what else is in the schedule."

The striking workers include jail guards, school custodians, court stenographers, and clerical and cleaning staff working for regional health authorities.

The locals have been without contracts for years. The court stenographers' last contract expired in 2016.

Another CUPE local representing N.B. Liquor store and warehouse workers is holding a strike vote this week.

Higgs has warned that he could use back-to-work legislation, including an imposed wage mandate, to end the dispute.

But he said he may also use the province's COVID-19 emergency order to force health-care workers back, given the impact of the strike on vaccination clinics, testing sites and hospital procedures.

"Something has to give. We can't let the health-care system be impacted."

While legislation would take several days of debate before it could be adopted, the emergency order can be invoked quickly by cabinet order.

Premier hopes to avoid back-to-work bill, nurses union issues warning of legal challenge if bill goes ahead

The Higgs government will meet with the Canadian Union of Public Employees on Thursday in the hopes of restarting contract talks, even as another union said it would be prepared to fight any back-to-work bill imposing wage settlements across the public sector.

New Brunswick Nurses Union president Paula Doucet says her members won't accept a so-called wage mandate that Premier Blaine Higgs could use to end the strike.

And she would not rule out a legal challenge to such a law.

"We have some legal [people] here in our office that would definitely put their eyes to that," Doucet says.

Thousands march to legislature in massive protest on Day 5 of CUPE strike

Higgs repeated his warning Wednesday that if he uses back-to-work legislation to end the CUPE strike, it will include a wage mandate imposing uniform increases on those union locals and all other public-sector workers.

Doucet says that would be an insult to nurses who've been on the front lines of the COVID-19 pandemic since March 2020 and who have twice rejected tentative agreements on a new contract.

"Having something mandated to them now is another slap in the face," she said.

"Nurses are tired and frustrated and exhausted, and they're just really looking for some recognition here as well as better working conditions and fair compensation, and they're not getting that now."

Premier 'optimistic' a deal can be reached

Higgs told reporters Wednesday morning he still hopes to avoid using legislation to end the dispute, which began last Friday.

"I'd like to remain optimistic that we will still be able to work out a negotiated settlement with CUPE, and the opportunity for us to get back to the table is real."

Ordering CUPE back to work won't be a simple process for Higgs, says labour lawyer

Not long afterward, CUPE New Brunswick spokesperson Simon Ouellette confirmed that union officials will meet government representatives Thursday at 1 p.m.

"I can confirm the premier has invited CUPE leadership to meet tomorrow at 1 p.m.," Higgs's spokesperson Nicolle Carlin said in a statement.

Ouellette said it's not clear whether it's a return to bargaining or just a meeting to discuss restarting negotiations.

Around 20,000 CUPE members in 10 locals began striking last Friday after a second breakdown in contract negotiations. The locals have been without contracts for years. One, representing court stenographers, saw its last agreement expire in 2016.

ANBL workers starting strike votes

CUPE announced Wednesday that another of its locals representing N.B. Liquor employees were starting strike votes that would run until Saturday.

Members of Local 963, who include employees of 41 liquor stores, ratified a contract last year, but Higgs blocked it because its wage increases were higher than his wage model for provincial workers.

Several hundred CUPE members and supporters returned to the legislature Wednesday after a larger protest Tuesday. For the second day, horns and noisemakers used by the crowd were picked up by the microphones and sound system in the chamber.

In question period, Opposition Liberal Leader Roger Melanson pressed Attorney-General Ted Flemming on a 2015 Supreme Court of Canada ruling that upheld the right to strike and set a high bar for governments using back-to-work legislation.

Flemming called it a "complex question" with "assorted variations" of court rulings on the issue but said any legislation would comply with the Constitution.

"If it is not justified in law, we won't do it," he said.

Wage mandate would have to be for all: Higgs

Higgs said applying a wage mandate to all bargaining groups, whether they have signed contracts now or not, would protect the bill from a legal challenge.

"It would be for all unions, because it wouldn't be fair [otherwise]. That's my understanding legally. … We have to do it for everyone."

That would involve about 58,000 provincial employees, about 80 per cent of whom are represented by unions, he said.

Higgs added that no union with a signed contract would see anything rolled back by a wage mandate. Any imposed package would be equal to or better than existing agreements.

"I would feel obligated to provide those same terms and conditions to those that have settled," the premier said.

Melanson said a back-to-work bill with a single wage mandate across the board is not the way to go.

"Each group has different issues that they want to deal with, so that's why you get to the negotiating table and you discuss them. Negotiation is not a monologue, it's a dialogue."

Green Leader David Coon said such a move would be "autocratic."

"It throws the whole notion of collective bargaining on its head, to be doing that by fiat, by legislated fiat. Not only is it unacceptable but I think it would be open to court challenges, no question."

Higgs said Wednesday that a second-quarter fiscal projection for the 2021-22 financial year foresees a budget surplus of $200 million to $300 million, a fact that opposition parties seized on to argue the province can afford to make CUPE a better offer.

The premier repeated that any contract has to be affordable for years to come, and it's not certain the province will have that much money to work with after this year.

The Liberals also continued needling Higgs about whether his PC caucus is united behind his approach to negotiations.

"There's a whole team of ministers and MLAs and we still don't know what they believe in this strike situation," Melanson said in question period. "What is his team actually doing to help him out?"

Higgs said that "more than most," he's been open to different views in his government, but "at the end of the day, the premier does what he believes is right with the collection of information he has received from his caucus."

Following Dutch Model, New Brunswick
Leads Canada's Pension Model Reforms

A new, risk-sharing pension design is taking off in Canada.

Frances Denmark

Following Dutch Model, New Brunswick Leads Canada's Pension Model Reforms

On May 31, 2012 David Alward stood before the Legislative Assembly of the Province of New Brunswick, Canada. As Premier, he was about to preside over an event unprecedented in the history of the province. It was the last day before the legislature’s summer recess and Alward, as host of the occasion, had invited representatives from all six New Brunswick labor unions onto the floor, along with members of both the Liberal and New Democratic opposition parties and a special task force he had appointed after his 2010 election. After more than a year of research, planning and negotiation, the unified group of labor and elected officials had an announcement to make. The subject du jour: pensions.

The events of May 2012 have only just begun to be felt across the province and beyond its borders. Whereas many private companies and public jurisdictions have previously turned to employer-based, individual retirement savings plans as a solution to their employees’ future income needs, the citizens, politicians, union members and pension officials in New Brunswick sought and enacted a solution to providing real pension benefits that would be economically sound under 21st century conditions. Now throughout Canada, and beyond its borders, pension stakeholders are starting to take note.

As the financial crisis of 2008 exploded, New Brunswick — which shares its western border with the U.S. State of Maine and its eastern border with the Atlantic Ocean — watched many of the public and private pension funds within its borders take a big hit. It soon became apparent that the usual Band Aid–type fixes, like increasing contributions into a plan, were not going to work this time.

Honoring his campaign promise to find an industrial strength fix for pension underfunding, in late October 2010 Alward appointed a three-member task force to solve the problem. In a particularly politic move, the premier tapped well-respected labor attorney Susan Rowland and longtime actuary Paul McCrossan, a member of Alward’s Progressive Conservative party, to spearhead the effort. Economics professor and public policy research expert Pierre-Marcel Desjardins rounded out the team. After more than a year of studying pension systems around the globe, and identifying the Dutch system as their number one model, the New Brunswick Pension Task Force announced the details of a new pension scheme that would be “more secure, transparent, sustainable, reliable, affordable and predictable” than either a defined benefit or defined contribution plan. It was named the Shared Risk Pension.

“Shared risk would fix most pension problems in North America,” asserts Rowland, chief of the pension task force. With the shared risk model, New Brunswick became the first jurisdiction in North America to develop comprehensive funding and risk management procedures in the administration of pensions, that cover both asset and liability management while addressing the challenges faced by pension schemes today and into the future, underlines the report entitled, “Rebuilding New Brunswick: The Case for Pension Reform.”

The new pension model sports the best features of the Dutch pension system: pooled assets that are professionally managed; strict and predictable funding requirements; and risk management processes not previously a part of New Brunswick’s defined benefit plans. Like the Dutch plan — and the Wisconsin Retirement System in the U.S. — the shared risk plan is designed to self-correct according to the performance of its investment portfolio. That means that cost of living adjustments are eliminated in favor of a system of either “dividends” or reductions that change in concert with the annual portfolio asset size fluctuations.

Alward began his quest for a better pension model after several forest and paper products companies, the biggest industry in New Brunswick, took a severe hit during the dip in the housing market brought on by the 2002 downturn and 2008 financial crisis. Companies like Fraser Papers (in 2010) and St. Anne-Nackawic Pulp Co. (in 2004) saw their pension promises go up in smoke as they entered bankruptcy. When pensioners had their monthly checks slashed by 30 to 40 percent, Canadians learned that a pension promise could be broken. Soon public pension deficits came to light as Moody’s Investor Services and Standard and Poor’s Rating Services downgraded New Brunswick’s credit rating in 2009 and 2010, respectively.

One of the keys to making the new pension scheme a reality was the cooperation between political parties, public government and labor unions. “We adopted a collaborative approach to get it done,” explains task force member McCrossan. “When we designed the pension plan, the whole province took part in it,” adds the actuary who came back from his 2006 retirement twice: once to help the International Monetary Fund grapple with global pension issues ahead of the impending crisis and then again in 2010 when Alward appointed him to the pension task force. “The fear factor went away when we showed them the information,” agrees Michael O’Brien, a Fredericton city councillor and former finance committee chair, speaking about his own work with the unions and retirees.

The City of Fredericton, home of the provincial government, has six separate pension funds, five of which initially chose to move to the new structure. Along with the pension of New Brunswick’s City of Saint John, the governance structure of the old plan has been entirely redesigned. In the City of Fredericton, the old defined benefit plan, which had been managed by the municipal government along with its other financial portfolios, is now, by law, the fiduciary responsibility of an independent board of eight trustees. The board members are an even split between council-appointees and union members.

“Six union presidents came together in July 2010,” explains Wade Kierstead, president of CUPE 3864, known formally as the Canadian Union of Public Employees’ Technical and Professional Union for the City of Fredericton. That was when the city’s pension fund first raised serious flags. The $200 million City of Fredericton pension fund was found to be $59 million underfunded. It is one of the smaller plans; the largest, the New Brunswick government employee fund, stands at $5 billion in assets. Kierstead and his fellow union leaders got their members behind the change. There are sacrifices on both sides, employee and employer. For example, both will increase their contributions and a higher retirement age will be phased in over a 40-year period. Like Dutch pensions, the plans must be overfunded, in this case at 115 percent, to meet new legal requirements. “Everybody takes a little cut,” explains Jane Blakely, director of strategic direction and consulting for the City of Fredericton.

To incorporate all the changes, the Canadian Pension Benefits Act had to be amended. So it was that on May 31, 2012, when the amendment was officially accepted, creating a Part 2 of the Act that made way for the new pension regime, that the entire legislature gave Alward, the union leaders, and the pension task force a well-deserved standing ovation for bringing about a change that protects the future retirement of the 47,000 public employees of the Province of New Brunswick.

Looking forward, there are now plans in the pipeline, following the change over to the new scheme for most New Brunswick pensions, to amalgamate most of the plans into one, $10 billion pension plan. Outside New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador Premier Kathy Dunderdale and Prince Edward Island Premier Robert Ghiz, are both studying the New Brunswick pension model.

For Canada, the development and adoption of a pension plan for the 21st century proves that it is possible for a disparate group of pension stakeholders — legislators, labor unions, employees, pensioners, and citizens — to work together to ensure a secure retirement for public servants.

Pension task force members named

07 December 2010

FREDERICTON (CNB) – The three members of the Task Force on Protecting Pensions were named today by Justice and Consumer Affairs Minister Marie-Claude Blais.

The task force, which was announced on Oct. 28, will lead public consultations and examine the long-term stability and security of private pensions in New Brunswick.

The three members of the task force are Paul McCrossan, Susan Rowland and Pierre-Marcel Desjardins.

"Employees deserve to know that the pensions they have contributed to all their working lives will be there when they retire,” said Blais. “Retirees need to know the pension they count on will continue to support them throughout retirement. That is why I am pleased we have been able to assemble such a qualified team of experts to undertake this important review."

Among the issues that the task force will examine are:

●   rules protecting employees and pensioners;
●   ensuring that the long-term sustainability of pension promises made to workers is honoured and protected; and
●   reviewing the structure meant to protect pension plans to insure they are as effective as possible.

"Our goal at the end of the review is to ensure New Brunswick has the rules and regulations in place that are needed to offer our residents the best protection possible for their hard-earned pension savings," said Blais.

The task force brings extensive experience in the field of private pension administration and pension restructuring. The panel will report back to government with their findings and recommendations.
