WATCH: Pierre Poilievre walked down an Ottawa street with a crowd including James Topp, who had previously appeared on an episode of Jeremy Mackenzie's podcast in which the latter described wanting to “bring down the government.” – Jun 30, 2022
Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre says he is denouncing “abuse” and sexually threatening language against his wife allegedly made by Jeremy Mackenzie, the de-facto leader of a far-right group called Diagolon whose adherents have waged a social media abuse campaign against female journalists for months.
In a statement posted on Twitter Monday morning, Poilievre said he had been made aware of “disgusting comments made by Jeremy McKenzie and another man, where they discuss sexually assaulting my wife.”
He called the men “odious” and “losers,” and added he has reported the comments to police.
In the video, a social media account of “Jeremy Mackenzie” can be seen lighting up as the speaker before a man can be heard talking about Anaida Poilievre as he and co-hosts debate her ethnic background, before he goes on to say: “let’s rape her.”
“It’s not really a sex thing, we just want to show people we can do things to you if we want to,” he adds.
Global News attempted to contact Mackenzie on Monday about the threats allegedly made against Anaida Poilievre. No response has yet been received.
The Canadian Press reported Monday afternoon that in an interview with Mackenzie, he said he was drinking when he made the comments and nobody meant any harm by it.
Poilievre said in his statement that he had not known about Diagolon until “about a month ago.”
Global News sent a list of questions to Poilievre’s Conservative leadership campaign back in July, shortly after he attended an anti-COVID public health measures march with a man called James Topp, who had previously appeared on an episode of Mackenzie’s podcast in January in which the latter described wanting to “bring down the government.”
Co-hosts of that episode also described wanting “to assemble the gallows on f—ing Parliament.”
When asked if Poilievre was concerned that supporting figures like Topp who have appeared on Mackenzie’s podcast could be interpreted as support for far-right views, and whether he would denounce comments by Mackenzie’s co-host about wanting to see a gallows on Parliament Hill, Poilievre attacked Global News.
His campaign posted a 238-word statement accusing Global News of being “unprofessional” and attempting to set “disingenuous traps.”
“Your tactic seems to be to demand Mr. Poilievre answer for all the words and deeds of not just everyone he has ever met, but also everyone they have ever met,” his campaign said. “Each of those people is individually responsible for their own words and deeds.”
Poilievre faced questions last month after a photo circulated online showing him shaking Mackenzie’s hand at a campaign event in Nova Scotia. A spokesperson for Poilievre said on Aug. 20 that he has “shaken hands with literally tens of thousands of people at public rallies.”
“It is impossible to do a background check on every single person who attends my events,” Poilievre’s campaign team said in response to Global News’ request for comment on Aug. 20.
“I didn’t and don’t know or recognize this particular individual.”
Over recent weeks, an ongoing torrent of abuse, threats and hate against the journalist in question and other female Canadian journalists covering the far-right has continued to escalate, including from supporters of Diagolon and Mackenzie himself.
“You deserve worse and with the trajectory you’re on, you’ll get it,” Mackenzie tweeted on Aug. 12 about the onslaught of threats against female journalists covering the far-right.
He also urged his thousands of followers: “Hate them as hard as you can.”
His account was suspended shortly after and remains so.
Diagolon took on additional prominence during the convoy blockades earlier this year, particularly the blockade in Coutts, Alta. RCMP said at the time they had become aware of a small, organized group that had “a willingness to use force against the police.”
In a subsequent raid, Mounties uncovered 13 long guns, handguns, a machete, a large quantity of ammunition and body armour. They also found two tactical vests — adorned with what Canadian Anti-Hate Network researchers believe were Diagolon patches.
Mackenzie has denied the patches are affiliated with his group.
Global News obtained the City of Ottawa permit application for the march Poilievre attended alongside Topp last month. Listed as the “primary event contact” on the form was Stephanie McEvoy, a woman who described herself online in social media posts as “pro-ProudBoy.”
The Proud Boys are a listed terrorist entity in Canada.
Poilievre’s campaign did not respond to questions at the time asking if he knew McEvoy was involved.
Topp’s lawyer has served Global News with a complaint about a previous Global News article and indicated that any statement suggesting Topp is a “a member of the far-right” or an “extremist” is false and defamatory.
Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) veteran James Topp has retained a lawyer and has served Global News as well as its parent company Corus Entertainment Inc. with a notice of libel for falsely painting him as a white supremacist.
Topp made headlines when he marched across Canada to protest Covid-19 mandates earlier this year. He is currently facing a court martial after refusing to comply with the CAF’s mandatory vaccination policy.
The notice filed by lawyer David Elmaleh names journalist Rachel Gilmore and her employers. It references an Aug. 18 article titled ‘Good PR’: Why anti-hate experts are urging politicians to step up vetting practices which covers a meeting between Topp and Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre.
“The defamatory article, inclusive of the URL tag, referred to Mr. Topp as a white supremacist, among other things,” the notice reads.
Global News has since changed the URL of the article but originally it included the words “james topp white supremacists far right.”
“(Defendants published this) without providing any evidence supporting their statements,” writes Elmaleh.
“(Those named) also included various ‘tags’ on the defamatory article, further implying that Mr. Topp is a white supremacist, extremist and member of the far right.”
An editor’s note on the article currently states that the URL was revised “to omit a reference to ‘white supremacist’ to avoid any misunderstanding that persons named in the URL are associated with that label.”
“Take notice that Mr. Topp intends to plead that the defamatory words were made deliberately, irresponsibly and with malice,” the claim continues.
“The intended defendants knew that the defamatory words, and the innuendo arising from them, were false, yet expressed them in any event in order to generate headlines, expand the reach of the defamatory article and garner interest from as many members of the public as possible.”
Topp is alleging that the false claims “lowered his reputation, and has caused and will continue to cause reputational and financial harm, along with emotional pain and suffering.”
The notice calls on the named parties to immediately publish an apology on all platforms and warns that Topp will seek damages in future proceedings.
True North reached out to Gilmore and Global News to give them an opportunity to comment on the libel allegations but did not receive a response by the time this article was published.
From his earliest revelations about wanting to transform this country into a post-national state, PM Justin Trudeau and his enablers have been on a mission to hollow out the idea of Canada. There is to be no core identity, no proud history, no mainstream traditions, no sense of belonging. Seven years into his mission, the country marks its 155th birthday with chaotic and politically charged gatherings across the land that, at best, reflect a shaken sense of nationhood; but, perhaps more accurately, they signal Canadians’ social contract has been forsook.
Whether it’s the PM’s response to the truckers or the Liberals embrace of the World Economic Forum’s agenda, Canadian editorialists and political pundits now openly debate the damage being done by the Trudeau Government’s constant undermining of the Canadian Constitution and Charter of Rights, its destabilization of the country’s resource economy, and the rewriting of Canada’s history to shame our cultural and societal legacies.
Andrew Coyne’s commentary this week in the Globe and Mail identifies “the vacuum at the centre of Canadian politics” with politicians degrading and disregarding “obligations to common sense, or the ordinary routines of democratic politics, or the rule of law.” Independent journalist Matt Gurney suggests our lack of political leadership has Canadians settling for mediocrity. Numerous columnists including William Gairdner are documenting how the government has morphed from soft socialism to soft totalitarianism. Some like Rupa Subramanya and Warren Kinsella often write on the perverse nature of Trudeau’s authoritarian kleptocracy.
So, this day’s scenes of unrest in the Nation’s Capital and its various cross-country protests against the celebration of “Canada” speak directly to the crisis of our nationhood’s legitimacy, a crisis that is continuously being stoked by the Trudeau Government. Trudeau’s ceaseless use of wedge politics has effectively eroded Canadians’ trust and faith in one another. The PM and his operatives do not let a single opportunity pass by without virtue signaling a division between Canadians. Case in point is most recently when Trudeau and his senior ministers infused the U.S. political maelstrom on abortion into Canada’s public debate, purposefully to 1) embolden his progressive base, and 2) highlight the moral and political divides on this contentious issue.
In the Financial Post, Joe Oliver offers his Lament for a misgoverned nation: “As they prepare to celebrate their country’s 155th birthday, Canadians are suffering at the hands of a divisive, incompetent government that has undermined prosperity, freedom, parliamentary responsibility, the independence of institutions, national unity and our country’s global standing.”
From the deluge of hapless news coming out of Ottawa these days, it seems that the very fabric of our nation is threadbare. Consider how these situations will end.
Canadians are being told there has been no impropriety or “undue influence” exercised with the latest scandalous news that RCMP Commissioner Brenda Lucki “made a promise” to Public Safety Minister Bill Blair and the Prime Minister’s Office to use the mass murders in Nova Scotia to help pass the Liberals gun control law. Senior Mounties have exposed the political power play. Yet, the same people who caused the obstruction of justice scandals involving Jody-Wilson-Raybould and SNC Lavalin, Vice-Admiral Mark Norman, and the WE Charity payouts, claim the senior Mounties are fabricating their story.
Canadians are now camping out for days in front of federal government offices with hopes that they might get their passports in time for their summer and fall vacations. To address the snake-like lineups moving at glacier speed, PM Trudeau announced a 13-member ministerial taskforce committee that (in his words) “will help guide the work of the government to better meet the changing needs of Canadians and continue to provide them with the high-quality services they need and deserve.” The committee will begin meeting in early July.
Inflation last month hit almost 7.7 per cent, the highest it has been in 40 years when the current PM’s father was PM. Unfortunately, the Trudeau Liberals now know nothing more of how to handle runaway inflation as the Trudeau Liberals did then. Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland’s latest budget included more fiscal stimulus, more debt, more regulation and more taxes. Recall, she appeared beside the Bank of Canada governor to pronounce inflation was “transitory.” Recently, when asked about government actions to tamper inflationary pressures, she claimed the government has “done enough already.” In another interview when asked about the frustrations Canadians are experiencing with rising prices, Freeland offered “it is okay to be mad.”
Gas pump prices in Canada continue to climb causing increasing strain for daily commuters, suburban families, and commercial drivers. Though Canadians are being told this is a global pressure in part caused by Russia, the fact is our country has the highest and highest-rising prices of any oil-developing nation. In comparing pump prices in Niagara Falls, Ontario to Niagara Falls, New York the gap has widened to more than 33 per cent more per litre. (News Thursday from an internal Department of Environment report tells us that new regulatory taxes on gas to be imposed July 1, 2023 will have a direct impact on prices by as much as 36 cents per litre.) The Americans are considering tax relief for motorists; any type of gas tax relief is something the Trudeau government has repeatedly rejected.
More horrors were reported from Ukraine this week when missiles hit residential buildings in Kiev and one missile struck a shopping centre, killing 16 and injuring over 40. While this news shook the world, PM Trudeau was hamming it up at the G7 meetings in Germany, mocking Vladimir Putin and photos of him bare-chested horseback riding. The Canadian PM had nothing more to offer his colleagues at the NATO summit. In the past couple of years, it is evident Canada has been marginalized in international affairs – left out of AUKUS, no mention with the QUAD Alliance, and our diplomats are MIA in any discussions of defending Ukraine. Still our Trudeau Government boasts its hashtag diplomacy: #IStandWithUkraine.
Finally, consider the news that Canada Day in Winnipeg has been replaced with “New Day” celebrations, a solemn statement to support Indigenous rights and to stand with those who hold grievances against Canada as a nation. Queen’s University professor Bruce Pardy makes this observation in an Epoch Times article, “The cancellation and renaming of Canada Day… reflects a kind of cultural self-hate that has gripped the body politic in Canada.”
Professor Pardy homes in on the sobering significance, “Our institutions have embraced the premises of critical theory, an anti-Western ideology that insists that Canada and other Western nations are fundamentally unjust, systemically racist, oppressive, and destructive… the most serious threat to Canada may be its conditioned disgust with its own history and traditions.”
So, returning to Joe Oliver’s column and his use of the adjective “misgoverned”. Oliver assumes the Trudeau Government is rudderless and unfocused when, in fact, there is plenty of evidence what is at play here is more than incompetence. On this Canada Day, Parliament Hill is off-limits. The PM is insulting “those people” again, purposefully dividing and erasing the idea that we should celebrate our country.
Oh Canada, this is lamentable.

Glen Murray still holds a two-to-one advantage in support over his closest competitors, but Shaun Loney is gaining ground. (Darren Bernhardt/CBC)
Shaun Loney is making late-race gains but Glen Murray remains well ahead of the field in the home stretch of the campaign to become Winnipeg's next mayor, a new Probe Research poll suggests.
Loney has 14 per cent support from decided voters in the Probe survey, conducted for the Winnipeg Free Press and CTV and released Monday.
Murray, who was Winnipeg's mayor from 1998 to 2004, remains the preferred candidate among those polled, even if that support was lower than in the July poll. It was 44 per cent in July and is at 40 per cent in the new poll.
Scott Gillingham, who has served for two terms as a city councillor, continues to hold second spot in the race at 15 per cent support, a dip from 16 per cent in July.
(Probe Research Inc.)
"The big story, and we don't want to lose sight of this, is Glen Murray's lead. He has a really significant lead over all of the other candidates," said Mary Agnes Welch, a partner at Winnipeg-based Probe Research.
"That's kind of like the don't-miss-the-forest-for-the-trees story."
But underneath that, in the trees, is the jockeying for second place, to determine who is Murray's main challenger, she said.
Coun. Kevin Klein, who only entered the mayoral race in late July and was not considered in the survey from that month, sits in fourth place with 10 per cent support.
Klein's level of backing is "not quite as well as we might have thought a councillor would do, but he's still in the race," Welch said.
Robert-Falcon Ouellette, who was running third in the July report, dropped to fifth spot as he lost six percentage points.
Jenny Motkaluk saw her support cut in half, from eight per cent in July to just four now.
The remaining six candidates are all polling in the low single digits.
Motkaluk finished second to Brian Bowman in the 2018 mayoral race with 38 per cent of the popular vote. Bowman, who has been Winnipeg's mayor since 2014, is not seeking re-election.
'Even more undecided now'
Despite the current polling numbers, the shape of the race remains somewhat uncertain.
Nearly four in 10 Winnipeggers do not yet know who they will vote for and even among those with a preferred candidate at the moment, fewer than half are very certain of that choice.
"They're even more undecided now than they were earlier in the summer," Welch said. "They might waver; they're not 100 per cent locked in.
"So even though Glen Murray has this crazy big lead, I think there is sort of an opportunity still for this race to develop and kind of a different story to be written."
Nearly four in 10 voters in Winnipeg are undecided (39 per cent), with another eight per cent indicating they do not plan to vote at all on Oct. 26. (Probe Research Inc.)
Welch blames a glut of promises for creating confusion among voters, with no single, galvanizing issue taking the spotlight.
"There's been a lot of announcements [but] there hasn't been one overarching narrative," she said.
Winnipeg's election is Oct. 26.
With a sample size of 600, the results have a margin of error of plus or minus four percentage points, 19 times out of 20, of being representative of the entire adult population of Winnipeg.
The sample consists of 236 Winnipeggers randomly recruited via live-agent operator, 208 Winnipeggers randomly recruited via interactive voice response and 156 members of Probe Research's online panel. All respondents completed the survey on an online platform.
Minor statistical weighting was applied to the sample to ensure age and gender characteristics properly reflect the city's population.

I trust this is it for Motkaluk. Besides, she’s probably got tons of clients lined up for her “business consulting” practice.

And we wonder why people don’t vote anymore.

Remember the "Save Eaton’s Building Coalition" which he seemed to fully support, right up to the vote in council were he didn't?

Reply to @David McKenzie: I remember him being behind the downtown library reconstruction, the St Boniface bridge renewal, the development of the Forks, and tons of other projects. Yeah.
David McKenzie
Reply to @Heather Koo: So you remember how he was all gung-ho for the Eaton's coalition and then flip flopped at the last second so that they could build the MTS center? Voted it down.
I'm not commenting on the validity of the coalition's goal, I'm commenting on his flip flop.
Arthur Wellesley
Reply to @David McKenzie: One mans flip-flop is another mans seeing reason and making the correct decision after all. You don't like Glen. We get it.
David McKenzie
Reply to @Arthur Wellesley: Yes mister :"twisted knickers" I do not like Murray and will not be voting for him. He can not be taken at his word.
David McKenzie
Remember when greener pastures Glenn left his post to run federally? Thinking that he could scoop up a victory as a federal liberal in the riding of Charleswood/St. James. He bailed and he failed.
David McKenzie
Reply to @David McKenzie: If you don't remember that, then you certainly do not remember that it was a "classic old boys, liberal back room deal."
Our PM at the time Paul Martin opened up the riding by appointing John Harvard (the liberal incumbent) to be lieutenant governor and Murray was in like a dirty shirt. He didn't even live in the riding. Long and short he lost the election to Stephen Fletcher.
Arthur Wellesley
Reply to @David McKenzie: He took personal responsibility for his future and moved to a better job :) Now he's back and many are happy to see him again. After all these years and all he's been through he still seems to be a nice guy.
David McKenzie
Reply to @Arthur Wellesley: Yes he jumped ship for a "better job" and where is he now. Grubbing for his old job back. Well he's not getting my vote.
David McKenzie
Anyone else remember Glenn Murray's failure called the "New Deal?"
Oh it was going to be epic.
Arthur Wellesley
Reply to @David McKenzie: It was actually Jack Layton's to start with but Murray "was able to demonstrate that cities are desperately underfunded with huge infustructure deficits and badly in need of improved public transit. But Murray went well beyond what the Federation of Canadian Municipalities was talking about and is still talking about. He argued that not only did cities need more revenue from the provincial and federal governments, but that there ought to be a significant reduction of property taxes, which would be shifted to user and consumption taxes – tax shifting.
Despite all the hoopla, in the end Murray failed to garner sufficient support to deliver this New Deal. What he did manage to get through Winnipeg’s City Council was the basic proposition that the city needs a bigger share of provincial and federal revenues, no more than what the Federation of Canadian Municipalities has been calling for over the last seven years. Today, that is all that is left of Glen Murray’s “New Deal.”"
Sounds good to me :)

Reply to @Arthur Wellesley: And it failed. Just like I posted.

I’m somewhat disillusioned by my fellow winnipeggers conduct at the last couple of mayoral forums. First , don Woodstock is unfairly maligned for accurate but uncomfortable ( to some it appears) comments. And then Jenny motkaluk is booed for not wearing a mask ( her right to do so) .
Arthur Wellesley
Reply to @sidney goodman: Not her right when in public. People do NOT have the right to endanger the health of others. Her choice, if she doesn't want to wear a mask, means she should call in remotely or not show up at all.
Arthur Wellesley
Reply to @Arthur Wellesley: Or suck it up and wear a mask for a short period of time.
David Milton
Reply to @sidney goodman: Well then you’ll really be disillusioned by the Probe poll released yesterday.
In Winnipeg the NDP is at 52 per cent and the Tories have 25 per cent. The Tories haven’t budged since a poll taken three months ago. The NDP has held a commanding lead in Winnipeg in three polls since March.
The poll was released days after an Angus Reid poll delivered more bad news for Stefanson.
Angus Reid, which tracks public approval of premiers across the country, found Stefanson was once again dead last, with 22 per cent support, a drop of one per cent from the last poll.
Heather Koo
Reply to @sidney goodman: Not her right at all. Masks were mandated at that forum. It’s right there in the article.

Ottawa– From roads and buildings to wastewater systems – strong asset management is key to building stronger communities. Municipalities of all sizes need tools and resources to make evidence-based decisions that support long-term asset management and build a healthier, safer and more prosperous future for all Canadians.
That is why the Government of Canada is investing $590,510 in 17 New Brunswick communities through the Municipal Asset Management Program (MAMP), delivered by the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM). As Canada moves toward a strong recovery, these projects will help communities make data-driven decisions about key infrastructure and ensure long-term infrastructure performance.
With funding from MAMP:
The City of Edmundston will collect data on the electrical distribution network assets present in the city and the Madawaska Maliseet First Nation and store and manage the asset information digitally with spatial modeling in an Enterprise-GIS system. This modeling will help the city to improve management of the electrical distribution network.
The City of Miramichi will complete condition assessments on the following City owned buildings: Police Station, City Hall mechanical system, Miratech mechanical system, Miramichi Civic Centre roof, Lord Beaverbrook Arena roof, and Loggieville sewer lagoon.
The Town of Quispamsis will study and assess the condition of outdoor park and recreation assets in the town. The study will provide the town with an asset inventory data standard for outdoor recreation sites, a condition assessment program, replacement cost estimating, useful life estimating, and criticality rating guidelines.
Further information on the 17 projects can be found in the backgrounder.

“When we strengthen our municipalities, we strengthen our province. Through the Municipal Asset Management Program, towns and cities across New Brunswick will have access to new tools to enhance the management of the infrastructure they oversee. From arenas to civic centres, municipal infrastructure is often where communities gather. Our Government will continue to invest in data-driven solutions to ensure communities have the tools they need to maintain those key assets.”
– The Honourable Dominic LeBlanc, Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs, Infrastructure and Communities
“Across the country, communities of all sizes are gearing up for life post-pandemic. They’re working to enhance their infrastructure and natural assets so they can continue to have sustainable and reliable services to improve residents’ quality of life. Ensuring local governments have the right tools to make sound asset management decisions is one way we can help drive Canada’s economic recovery.”

On Thursday afternoon, Murray arrived to a media availability after a half-hour delay to a standing ovation and chanting from supporters gathered inside his campaign headquarters. (Bartley Kives/CBC)
Winnipeg mayoral candidate Glen Murray denies allegations he physically harassed a former employee of the Pembina Institute during his one-year tenure as head of the environmental organization — and that employee is standing by his claims.
The allegations were first reported earlier Thursday in a CBC News investigation into the 370 days Murray spent in 2017-18 in what he called his "dream job" as executive director of the Calgary-based clean energy think-tank.
The investigation also revealed allegations Murray used sexual innuendo in the workplace and drank to excess at some organization functions before being forced out following complaints about his management.
Duncan Kenyon, who served as the Pembina Institute's oil and gas director and as its Alberta director, alleged Murray rubbed up against him, pelvis to buttocks, during a company social function in Banff, Alta., in March 2018.
Kenyon said he's not surprised his former boss would deny his allegations because, while he told his supervisor and several colleagues about the alleged incident, there was no documentation of what Kenyon says happened.
He also questioned whether Murray would know what happened that night, given Murray's alleged level of intoxication at the time.
On Thursday afternoon, Murray showed up a half hour late to a media availability he called to address the allegations. He arrived to a standing ovation and chanting from supporters gathered inside his campaign headquarters.

Murray said since being approached with questions about his time at the Pembina Institute, he's been "going over in my mind every interaction, every conversation and every opportunity where something could have happened."
"I'm not perfect. Who is?" Murray said. "But I am certain the reported sexual harassment from today is not true."
Murray said while his time at the Pembina Institute was a time of ambition and hard work, it was also a time of great change in his personal life.
"And it is clear that I allowed that pressure to spill over into my work life. I am sorry for this and I take responsibility," he said.

Winnipeg mayoral candidate Glen Murray responds to allegations raised in CBC story
Duration 7:52
Glen Murray apologized to the people he worked with at the Pembina Institute, but denied he sexually harassed anyone there, after several ex-staffers spoke out in a CBC story about his time at the Alberta environmental think-tank.
Murray said when it became clear his leadership style wasn't a good fit for the culture of the organization, he and the Pembina Institute's leadership team together "came to the realization that parting was the best way forward."
Documentation obtained by CBC News shows Murray was presented with a termination notice and was given the option to resign instead, which he did on Sept. 9, 2018.
Murray did not take questions from reporters following his remarks.
The CBC News investigation into Murray's time at the Pembina Institute also prompted several of his campaign rivals to call on him to withdraw from the race.
Mayoral rivals call for Murray's withdrawal
"I would like to see all people running for mayor, for the sake of the city, to come out and ask Glen to withdraw," Kevin Klein said.
"I think that that's the appropriate thing to do here. They're serious, serious allegations."
Rana Bokhari later followed Klein's lead, saying Murray needs to "sincerely apologize to the people he has wronged" and bow out of the race.
"How many passes do we give him? Is this who we want to represent Winnipeg?" Bokhari wrote in an emailed statement.
Scott Gillingham said what Murray and his campaign do now is up to them. Gillingham also said he would worry about how Murray might treat city staff as mayor, given the allegations about his management at the Pembina Institute.
"There's a pattern that seems to follow him from city to city to city. The article presents a picture of chaos and instability," Gillingham said.
Shaun Loney called the allegations against Murray concerning, but stopped short of asking him to withdraw — although Loney said he thinks the details revealed about the front-runner may improve his own chances in the race.
"When you're running for office, you bring your past with you. And I'm bringing my past here with me today," Loney said.
"For me, I'm just glad that I've conducted myself in such a fashion that my co-workers would stand here with me today."

Winnipeg mayoral candidate Glen Murray was forced to leave his "dream job" as the head of a clean energy think-tank after one year, following complaints about his management, according to former staff and communications obtained by CBC News.
Murray's lawyer denies this, claiming he resigned "for personal and family reasons."
A CBC News investigation into the 370 days Murray spent in 2017-18 as the executive director of the Pembina Institute — a Calgary-based environmental organization — also revealed allegations Murray used sexual innuendo in the workplace, physically harassed a former employee at a company gathering and drank to excess at some organization functions.
Former Pembina employees described Murray as a "chaotic personality" who breached confidentiality, refused to accept briefings, failed to show up to some internal meetings, showed up late to some meetings with government and corporate leaders, often did not respond to communications and engaged in questionable management practices.
Murray's campaign declined repeated requests for interviews about his time at Pembina. The candidate himself said on Tuesday he would be happy to answer questions about Pembina and advised CBC News to make an appointment, but his campaign later denied the request.
Murray's lawyer, Bailey Harris, said in a letter on Tuesday any harassment allegations against Murray stemming from his time at Pembina are "categorically untrue" and said they were never brought to her client's attention.
"Mr. Murray wishes to be very clear: no allegation or report of sexual harassment was ever raised with Mr. Murray while he was employed by the Pembina Institute or after," Harris said in her letter.
'High-risk, high-return appointment'
A Probe Research poll published Sept. 23 suggested Murray was the leading candidate to become Winnipeg's next mayor in the Oct. 26 election, with the support of 40 per cent of decided Winnipeg voters.
Murray originally served as Winnipeg's mayor from 1998 until 2004, halfway through his second term, when he resigned to make an unsuccessful bid to become a federal Liberal member of Parliament.
He then moved to Toronto, where he was eventually elected in 2010 as a Liberal member of Ontario's Provincial Parliament. Within months, he was appointed to cabinet.

In 2017, a year before an Ontario election the Liberals would lose, Murray resigned his Toronto Centre seat to become the Pembina Institute's new executive director.
"There's no good time to get into politics and no great time to get out of politics," Murray told the Globe and Mail.
Murray, who had served as the Liberal-appointed chair of the National Round Table on the Environment and the Economy shortly after leaving his job as Winnipeg's mayor, called his new gig at the helm of Pembina his "dream job."
Founded in the 1980s, the institute conducts research and analysis into energy use and provides recommendations about energy policy.
"The chairman of the board described him as a high-risk, high-return appointment," former Pembina fundraiser Iain McMullan said of Murray.
McMullan, the first person Murray hired after he assumed the reins of the non-profit, described Murray as a magnificent presence in front of audiences who proved to be "intrinsically unreliable on pretty much everything" once he stepped off stage.
"He can be inspiring, and he can be harmful to others, in my experience," said McMullan, a veteran corporate fundraiser who served as the Pembina Institute's director of strategic partnerships under Murray.
"I've seen him give speeches — 20-to-30-minute speeches with no notes or a borrowed PowerPoint — and hold the audience in the palm of his hand. And they all thought he was fantastic afterwards. I've seen him do that. But the rest of the time, he's chaotic. He's a chaotic personality."
Allegations of sexual innuendo, harassment
Murray started at Pembina on Sept. 5, 2017. Former employees said he continued to live in Toronto while he worked for the organization but made visits to its offices in Calgary and Vancouver.
Several former employees said Murray's behaviour soon set off red flags, particularly his alleged utterance of sexual innuendo in the workplace and in one-on-one meetings with employees.
Duncan Kenyon, who served as Pembina's oil and gas director and as its Alberta director, said he once went for a walk with Murray where his boss started out praising his work, but soon began speaking about his sex life.
Kenyon said Murray raised the fact he enjoys having sex outside his relationship.
"He's blowing smoke at you and then he's moving it toward sexual conversations," Kenyon said.
"You're not having these kinds of discussions with your colleague, let alone your boss."
A former Pembina board member CBC has agreed not to name said they were aware Kenyon and two other Pembina employees alleged they were subject to Murray's use of innuendo.
That does not include Pembina's previous executive director, Ed Whittingham, who said he was subjected to sexual innuendo during a one-on-one conversation with Murray on his successor's first day on the job.
"He said some things about his personal life, and particularly the openness of his relationship with his husband and openness in terms of having sex outside the relationship that made me feel very uncomfortable and immediately had me thinking, 'My gosh, have we made the wrong choice?'" said Whittingham, referring to Pembina's decision to hire Murray.
"This is an inappropriate conversation to be having with anyone — even me, as the outgoing guy — on Day 1 of his time at Pembina."
Whittingham said he walked out of that meeting so disturbed, he thought of calling David Runnalls, the chair of Pembina's board of directors at the time.
"I thought, 'I'm probably overreacting and I'm the guy on the way out. This is my successor, and if I make that call, basically, I'm crapping all over my successor literally on Day 1.' And I didn't make that call," he said.
"And to this day, I regret not making that call."
Murray also went beyond sexual conversations to physical contact, said Kenyon. He alleged Murray rubbed up against him, pelvis to buttocks, during a company social function in Banff, Alta., in March 2018.
"He comes up to me and starts doing very suggestive sexual dancing — you know, grinding me," Kenyon said.
"It was very crowded on the dance floor, right, so it's pretty hard for people to see what was going on, exactly. You're just like, 'Oh, come on, man.' I'm being like, grinded by my boss on the dance floor. Unbelievable."

Whittingham said Kenyon came to his home two days later and told him about the incident.
"Duncan laughed it off, as sometimes we do, both men and women, but particularly men who are on the receiving end of sexual advances by other men," Whittingham said.
Kenyon also said he informed his immediate supervisor at the time, Pembina's deputy director, and said he believed he was taken seriously. That director did not respond to CBC News requests for comment.
Kenyon said he took no further action.
He said he acknowledged the role his relative privilege played in that decision, compared to a younger man or a woman placed in a similar position.
"We're older guys, this is not the end of the world for us. It's just uncomfortable," he said.
Harris, Murray's lawyer, said any harassment allegations against Murray are untrue. She also said Murray was never made aware of harassment allegations.
"To Mr. Murray's knowledge, no one ever filed a complaint against him," she said in her letter to CBC News.
Harris also said former Pembina board chair Runnalls said no harassment allegations were ever brought to Murray by Pembina's leaders.
"We are advised that the former Board Chair unequivocally said that the senior management team never brought forward any complaints of this nature against Mr. Murray," Harris said.
Runnalls confirmed to CBC News he had no knowledge of "any such claim" against Pembina and nothing was ever brought to the board.
Allegations of excessive drinking
Former employees also said Murray drank to excess at some company social functions and public events.
"He would regularly get very intoxicated at events that Pembina hosted, just rip-roaringly drunk," said Kenyon, alleging Murray could barely walk at a Vancouver event attended by Catherine McKenna, who was the federal environment minister at the time.
Kenyon also said his boss was intoxicated the night Murray allegedly physically harassed him in Banff.
Jason Switzer, a former senior advisor and director of industrial decarbonization at the Pembina Institute, backed up the allegation Murray drank to excess in the Alberta resort town.
"As we were walking … back to our hotel from one of the bars that we were at, he was barely able to walk. He was really, really drunk," Switzer said.
"I take that perhaps as a reflection of him wanting to unwind amongst colleagues, but it was certainly a situation you would never want to see someone in that kind of leadership role in, setting his first sort of engagement with his staff."
Murray's campaign team did not respond to requests for comment about allegations Murray drank to excess at company functions.
Allegations of poor management
According to former Pembina Institute employees and correspondence obtained by CBC News, Murray's management practices alienated longtime Pembina employees, leading four to quit the organization over concerns about professionalism.
"Glen discusses confidential information with any staff that will listen," a former employee wrote to Pembina board members in 2017.
"He has been told things in strict confidence that he comments on out loud at different staff meetings. This is confidential information told to him in strict confidence about sexual harassment, mental health, etc.," the former employee wrote in an email dated Nov. 17, 2017, two months after Murray joined the organization.
"This should be kept totally confidential and not be brought to light at every call or conversation in the hallway. I have concerns about lawsuits for defamation or harassment."
Former Pembina Institute employees also outline a litany of complaints about Murray.
Three told CBC News they could not get Murray to stay on message when he met with potential donors, government leaders or representatives from other environmental organizations.
"It became pretty clear — and perhaps unsurprisingly — that he was going to go his own way and that the program leads weren't going to be able to brief him," Switzer said.
"He really had his own perspectives on things, and if he liked a particular set of talking points, he'd run with them. But essentially he was going to kind of act extemporaneously on any kind of issue."
McMullan said he found Murray very difficult.
"I never really was able to get into a constructive working relationship with him in the six months we spent together. And I tried very hard," he said. "My sense was he just didn't want to be briefed."
Switzer and Kenyon also said Murray often attended meetings with people outside the organization but did not take notes to inform staff what transpired at these meetings. They also said they were often unaware of Murray's whereabouts.
"We never knew who Glen was meeting with, didn't know what he'd discussed. He never came to us to tell us he was going to go meet with so-and-so," Kenyon said.
"He would regularly take meetings without anyone there to take notes, so we just had no idea what the followups were," Switzer said.
"There was no sort of certainty that we were going to get any outcomes from any of the meetings that he was having, whether it was with government partners or corporate partners."

Former staff also complained Murray was often late for meetings. Whittingham, Murray's predecessor, said he once flew into Calgary and was left waiting so long he contemplated leaving.
Whittingham said he experienced a similar wait when he arranged for Murray to meet with the CEO of a Calgary-based oil and gas company.
"He arrived 40 minutes late and the CEO, like me, was about to get up and leave," Whittingham said.
Kenyon said Murray also embarrassed Pembina at private meetings by talking over corporate and government officials.
"They couldn't get a word in. It wasn't a discussion. It was just the grand Glen Murray sermon," he said.
Kenyon said Murray also promoted less-experienced personnel into senior positions as a means of insulating himself from longer-serving staff.
"He's very personable, can be quite likable, charismatic, but really in many ways actually is cultivating people to be his allies and is not genuine in many of his interactions," Kenyon said, describing Murray's tactics as a divide-and-conquer strategy.
"Early on, people were a little bit skeptical. And then later on, it was clear he was really not doing his job."
Murray's campaign team did not respond to requests for comment about complaints about Murray's management.
'An existential threat to Pembina'
Murray's performance came to a head in March 2018 at Pembina's annual staff and board gathering in Banff, where the institute's employees from across Canada meet to strategize and engage in face-to-face time.
Former employees said in addition to drinking heavily, Murray did not properly prepare for the multi-day gathering, which they described as the most important on the Pembina calendar.
"The assembly itself was so kind of badly disorganized — after years of it being sort of meticulously organized to deliver particular outcomes — that at that point, I think there was a sort of general sense of fatigue among the staff around that," Switzer said.
"It was a shambles," McMullan said. "It drove everybody crazy because everybody was saying, 'You know, this is really important. We only do this once a year. Let's work together on the agenda.'
"And he decided he wanted to pull a bunch of rabbits out of the hat."
McMullan said those rabbits included new lines of work for Pembina and a surprise rebranding exercise for the institute.
Several former employees said the event wound up creating solidarity among staff who wanted Murray out.
"That was actually when it crystallized, to be very honest, that the people within the organization started planning to do what we had to do to get him removed, because he was doing so much damage," Kenyon said.

Following the staff retreat, Pembina directors began meeting with the intent of bringing complaints about Murray's management to the institute's board, Kenyon said.
Whittingham said he joined the effort to oust Murray after he became "the unofficial, unappointed director of sympathetic listening" to his former colleagues.
"The last thing I wanted to do was be a part of the ouster of my successor, but at that point, I thought it was such an existential threat to Pembina that I really needed to act," he said.
'He's got to go,' chair told
Whittingham said he initially met with one board member in June 2018 to assert the organization failed to conduct due diligence on Murray, and said he later told board chair Runnalls the situation with Murray was "beyond repair and he's got to go."
Whittingham said Pembina enlisted George Greene, the founder of the environmental consulting firm Stratos, to conduct a series of interviews with senior staff as well as a staff survey.
Kenyon said he was among those interviewed by Greene. Kenyon said he only discussed Murray's management and did not disclose his allegations about innuendo and grinding during that interview.
Greene interviewed Pembina employees in July and August 2018 and presented a summary of his findings to the board during an emergency meeting on Aug. 24, 2018, according to correspondence obtained by CBC.
Greene did not respond to requests for comment. Harris, Murray's lawyer, confirmed Greene presented a verbal report to Pembina's board.
Runnalls presented Murray with a termination notice one week later, according to the correspondence. Murray requested and was given the option of resigning instead, according to the correspondence.
Runnalls informed senior leaders at Pembina that Murray opted to resign on Sept. 9, 2018, according to the correspondence.
Murray formally left the organization on Sept. 10, 2018.
"While I'm looking forward to a new challenge, the Pembina Institute is a very hard place and team to leave," Murray said in a statement at the time.
In response to CBC News requests for comment this week, Murray's lawyer stated a different reason for his departure.
"Mr. Murray resigned from the Pembina Institute four years ago (2018) for personal and family reasons," Bailey Harris said in a letter to CBC News.

Publicly, Runnalls thanked Murray in 2018 for his leadership.
"In his time here, Glen has been a great accelerator for the organization and its staff," Runnalls said in a statement at the time.
This week, Runnalls declined to comment on the circumstances surrounding Murray's departure or claims made about Murray's management.
Nine days after Murray left Pembina, he was in Winnipeg, where he declared he was moving back to Manitoba and had no interest in returning to politics.
The Pembina Institute declined to address allegations about Murray or the circumstances that led to his departure.
"For privacy and legal reasons, we are unable to comment publicly on any personnel matters," executive director Chris Severson-Baker said via email earlier this month.
"Pembina has comprehensive workplace policies and procedures in place, including policies and procedures governing respectful workplace behaviours and the prudent use of resources and assets."
Chris Severson-Baker, executive director at the Pembina Institute, says his organization can not comment on Murray's departure. (Pembina Institute)
Whittingham, the former Pembina director, said Murray's workplace behaviour makes him question whether the latter is fit to be a mayor.
"I think it's incumbent upon him to explain the work that he's done and why he is now qualified for a much larger leadership role, when it was very clear in the span of a year that he was completely unqualified for a smaller leadership role," he said.
Kenyon said he thinks Murray would be a toxic mayor.
"The kind of workplace he would create would be really problematic," he said.
"I would really not want to, ever want to see someone have to work in an office with him, based upon how he was at Pembina."

Warning: This story includes offensive images and language.
A Winnipeg city council candidate says he takes full responsibility for posting misogynist, homophobic and antisemitic content to social media a decade ago and wants voters to know he has changed.
Omar Kinnarath, a community organizer vying to unseat incumbent councillor Cindy Gilroy in central Winnipeg's Daniel McIntyre ward this fall, said he is a better person than he was from 2011 to 2014, when he issued tweets including derogatory references to women, gay men and Jews.
While those posts have been deleted, screen-captured images continue to circulate via social media.
Kinnarath says he takes ownership for his actions, repudiates his own statements and understands the harm he caused.
"It's not right to speak that way. You know, you do hurt people when you speak that way or express those things, and I'm just trying to learn from the people around me and become better and be more sensitive," he said in an interview earlier this week.
"I just want people — voters and the general public — to realize that I am a real person. I'm not like the typical politician that tries to hide or shy away from these sorts of things. I do face these things head on."
These screengrabs show long-deleted tweets by Omar Kinnarath, who is now running for city council. (OmarX204/Twitter)
Kinnarath said toxic masculinity contributed to the way he was socialized and he hopes voters in the Oct. 26 election give him the chance to demonstrate that he has learned.
"I know in my work in anti-racism, where people are called out for racism, you always have to give room for them to improve and to become better people and not think that way," he said.
Tara Mann, a former romantic partner who has a child with Kinnarath, says he is indeed a better person. She described him as a good father who does good work in the West End, and said it would be a shame if his old tweets prevent him from getting elected.
Tweets present challenge: expert
The combination of the volume of his offensive tweets, and how relatively recent they are, present an electoral challenge for Kinnarath, says a reputation management expert.
Sally Housser, the senior manager of public affairs at the Alberta-based Canadian Strategy Group, said while the general public may be willing to overlook sexist, racist or homophobic statements issued decades ago, few reasonable people would have tolerated some of Kinnarath's tweets a decade ago.
The council candidate is doing the right thing by accepting responsibility for his actions, she said, but voters will ultimately decide whether or not he has made genuine efforts to educate himself and reach out to people affected by his words.
"It really amounts to, what emotion are you able to leave voters with? Do they believe you to be real or not? And I mean, that's pretty much an unquantifiable factor, but it is the key one," Housser said in an interview.
Sally Housser, senior manager of public affairs for the Canadian Strategy Group, said Kinnerath is doing the right thing by accepting responsibility for his tweets, but that won't guarantee voters find him believable. (Submitted by Sally Housser)
Kinnarath said he expected to answer for his old Twitter posts during this election because he's had to answer for them for several years.
"Having dealt with this stuff before and feeling the scrutiny of the public and the media, I definitely feel like it's preparing me for the scrutiny of public office," he said.
He also said he has been the victim of hateful comments himself, and acknowledged they are particularly severe because he is Muslim and a person of colour.
"The things that I said were horrible, that's for sure. But the things said to me in the last seven to eight years? It's bad," he said, referring to threats of physical violence.
"And those people have no remorse. They have no intention to learn or be better or to understand people."

I HATE ARTHUR TOPHAM! Ezra Levant on The Source Nov. 8, 2012
by admin on April 16, 2020
Dear Radical Readers and Free Speech Lovers, After my court appearance this morning in Quesnel my lawyer Doug Christie asked me if I thought it would be okay to go on Ezra Levant’s Sun News Talk Show The Source to discuss my case. I told Doug that Levant was my arch enemy but that he was welcome to go on his show. Late this evening (very late actually) I received the following article and video that Marc Lemire put together. BIG thank you to Marc for doing this. I must admit that it is a rather somewhat comical interview/discussion with Ezra vibrating as usual like some speed freak in need of a fix but regardless of the fact that he gets an opportunity to carry on the same smear campaign that the rest of his Zionist Jew buddies are doing across the Canadian mediascape and tell his audience that he ‘Hates Arthur Topham’ the message is that hate is not an emotion that ought to be governed by Canada’s courts any more than love. The show ought to draw more attention to the site and also make more Canadians realize that no one should be charged with a criminal offence merely for expressing an opinion or facts related to anyone or any group. It certainly doesn’t make B’nai Brith Canada look good and that in itself is a positive thing. DougLaughing My lawyer Doug Christie couldn’t help but break out laughing when he heard Levant shout out, ‘I hate Arthur Topham!’ Neither could I for that matter. It was a kosher Kodiak moment for sure! Levant predicts that I will win the case. For once I hope he’s right on that! Please pass this along if you can. For Justice and Free Speech on the Internet, Arthur Topham Pub/Ed RadicalPress.com ‘Digging to the root of the issues since 1998’ ————————————————— Muslim Hate Speech and Arthur Topham: The deception of ‘Hate Speech’ Laws DougontheSource [VIDEO] Doug Christie with Ezra Levant discussing the Arthur Topham Case and ‘hate speech’ Laws [Click the url below to watch] http://blog.freedomsite.org/2012/11/doug-christie-on-suntv-authur-topham.html http://canadianhumanrightscommission.blogspot.ca/2012/11/muslim-hate-speech-and-authur-topham.html You can find out more about the Topham case at http://www.radicalpress.com. Topham was charged under Canada’s ridiculous criminal ‘hate’ law Section 319 of the Criminal Code. This nutty law tries to control human emotions, and as the norm for so-called ‘hate’ laws … only applies to one certain type of opinion. When ‘hate’ is promoted in Canada, it is only criminalized if the communicator of the message is an alleged ‘nazi’ or white ‘anti-Semite’. Just look at all the cases stretching back to the 1970’s. If you hate whitey — no problem. If you are Muslim and hate Jews — no problem. If you are Jewish and hate Muslims — no problem. Here is proof of my point: On the same day that white skinned alleged ‘nazi’ and ‘anti-Semite’ Arthur Topham was charged with criminal ‘hate speech’, the police looked at brown skinned Muslim hate against Jewish Canadians, and found no criminal ‘hate’. In the Alice in Wonderland world of human rights and ‘hate speech’ … some ‘hate’ is criminal, while other ‘hate’ is just fine. TorontoIslamicSchool Lets compare for a second, what Arthur Topham wrote to what was ‘anti-Jewish Curriculum’ at the East end Toronto Madrassah. One was criminalized, the other was not. Arthur Topham posted on his website: ‘It’s been ongoing since the day I first openly criticized the Zionist Jews and their political dogma or ideology known as Zionism. That was back during the heady last days of the 20th Century when I was publishing my monthly hard copy edition of The Radical, an alternative tabloid which ran for forty-two consecutive editions ending in June of 2002.’ .. And from the National Post which described what Topham allegedly said and did: The Biological Jew depicts Jews as parasites that suck the blood from their ‘host’ societies while the Protocols is a fraudulent book that purports to describe a conspiracy for worldwide Jewish domination. .. Police arrested Mr. Topham and questioned him on May 16. According to a transcript of his police interview that was posted online, he asked the investigating officer, Det. Const. Terry Wilson of the B.C. Hate Crime Team, whether he had been trained in Tel Aviv or whether Mossad had come to Canada to train him. He lectured the officer about how Jews ‘control what you’re doing’ and said they had ‘created the unit you’re working for.’ He asked the officer if he was a Christian and scolded him for what he was doing. ‘These guys have spent the last 2,000 years trying to destroy our religion, and you like a Judas are out here like a, like one of their dogs chasing down people who are trying to defend the Christian religion,’ he said. ‘You ought to be ashamed of yourself.’ —— Now lets compare what the Muslim’s East end Madrassah (Toronto) allegedly taught to children in their Curriculum. This again is quotes from the National Post’s article (published Nov 8, 2012). I can not actually verify their authenticity: ‘End of Jewish Plots and Treacheries: Ever since the Prophet’s entry into Madina, the treacherous Jews had vehemently opposed him and his Islamic call, evoking memories of their hostility to the previous Prophet, Jesus Christ, half a millennium ago. The crafty Jews entered into an alliance with the polytheist Quraish in a bid to stamp out Islam. They conspired to kill Prophet Muhammad despite the fact that he was lenient towards them and had treated them kindly, hoping to convince them of Islam’s truth. But eventually as Jewish plots and aggressions increased, he had no choice other than to take up arms against them, in order to protect Islam and the Muslims. At the battle of Khaiber which is famous for Imam Ali’s heroic exploits, the Prophet defeated them ending Jewish intrigues and conspiracies in Arabia.’ [Emphasis added] Why is it that so-called ‘hate’ laws only ever target one certain opinion, and all the other haters are given a free pass? Would Canada’s criminal prohibition against ‘hate’ ever be found constitutional if the courts looked at the actual effects and operation of the law? After 30 years, it is as clear as day; this law targets a certain range of opinions in Canada, and has little to do with actually removing hate. As we have documented over and over, some hate in Canada is perfectly fine and non-criminal. If you have an opinion which can be classified as ‘nazi’ or ‘anti-Semitic’ and you’re White; expect the state to drop the ‘trifecta of tolerance‘ of you. Which is a three stage, proven framework, to break and humiliate the victim — all at the expense of Canadian taxpayers who foot the bill for this multi-million dollar make-work project. The stages can be defined as: ostracized, vilified and criminalized. Section 319 of the Criminal Code is an affront to justice and freedom in Canada and should be repealed immediately. Canada is a tolerant country with intelligent people, and we do not need the nanny state (at the behest of special interest groups and plaintiffs of fortune) looking over the shoulders of people and parsing the words of individuals that wish to express non-violent opinions on controversial subjects as race or religion. We have tried the censorship of criminal and civil prohibition’s against ‘hate’ speech since the 1970’s with little positive effect. Isn’t it time to give freedom a chance? -Marc Lemire Free Speech Activist and the only Canadian to ever win a Section 13 case http://www.freedomsite.org http://www.stopsection13.com

David,
What do you know of this Brian lilley guy who is a reporter for the Sun, connected with Ezra Lavant who is connected with Mayor Neshi, who is connected to Smith, who is hated by McLellan/Redford. What's the deal with Lilley? Should I send him my story to pursue and blow into the open? Your thoughts?

Please read page 66 of the Spitzer file found within the link above and then surf within my file from there.
If you do not trust the link I have provided then if nothing else please check the link below from the US Senate website when Spitzer testified 5 very long years ago for many people and ask yourselves why the transcripts of that hearing and the one two days before have evaporated from the public record. I am a very serious man who is trying to tell you folks something you really need to know if you are serious about Democracy.

Ralph
I am getting annoyed here. I want this done - my 17 page affidavit. DO NOT Ralph play a game here with my life or others. As I have told you in other correspondence this has to end, to many are being killed and I WANT JUSTICE FOR OUR PEOPLE.
Now please get my funds into my account cuz if you can not go forth for whatever the reasons, I do understand. I can and will go forth, so pitter patter let's get at it.
Enough time has been wasted. I will be back in Calgary on the 19th, and no thanks to this despotic system either. I refuse to back down or suck up the same shit that has been given back forever - CREATED ABUSE , POVERTY, THIEVING OF LIFE AND LANDS.
You have my number or why do I bother, I have yours and will call you.
Ralph, just who is on the other end of this email add??????
Love Robin
PS. Better to be a cheif than a king, kings and queens are not looking so good any more in history.
Remember what I hold.
Rotten Ralphy and the corrupt cops in Calgary enjoy Barry Winters work for some sick reason
(scroll to the bottom to see the text of a more recent blog of "Barry Winters" about the Robin Reid's email exchanges with Klein)
Anyway on the otherhand nasty Fake Left enjoy using my work sometimes for their own sick reasons. However NOBODY who swings right or left will simply do their job or uphold the law. The new mayor's assistant seems like a nice lady but refused to read what I sent her yet wants some of my writing??? Everybody and his dog knows Alberta has had reams of my documents and words for years. So this is the best I can do on short notice that the mayor's email moniter should not bounce back. If the mayor doubts my sincerity or integrity then perhaps he should talk to all the other poltiicans and cops in his area and ask to see hard copy of my material. Here is just a taste of my words to Rotten Ralphy over 5 years ago.
Lt. Gov. Norman L. Kwong Premier Ralph Klein c/o Att. Gen. Ron Stevens
Lt. Gov. Iona V. Campagnolo Premier Gordon Campbell c/o Att. Gen. Wally Oppal
Lt. Gov. Myra A. Freeman Premier John F. Hamm c/o Att. Gen. Michael Baker Halifax, Nova Scotia
Lt. Gov. J. Léonce Bernard Premier Pat G. Binns c/o Att. Gen. Mildred A. Dover Charlottetown, PEI
RE: Public Corruption Hey,
Apparently everybody wanted to play dumb about my concerns and allegations so that Humpty Dumpty Martin's minority government would not fall and they could party hardy while the Queen was in Canada. As you all know months ago, I began faxing, emailing and calling the eight other Lt. Governors I had yet to cross paths with. I fully informed them of my indignation towards the Governor General Clarkson and two of her other Maritime Lieutenants Roberts and Chaisson before the latest wave of bad acting Yankees invaded my home in the USA without warrants or due process if law.
I made certain all of the provincial Attorney Generals and Premiers can never deny the fact that I tried to make them well aware of my concerns and allegations in order to make everybody should sit up and pay attention. Not one person from any of your offices ever responded in any fashion at all. You can be certain that I expected the deliberate ignorance. It is one of the oldest tricks in the book that lawyers employ in order to play their wicked game of see no evil, hear no evil speak no evil. I knew it would happen particularly after Nova Scotia's Conflict of Interest Commissioner Merlin Nunn had blocked my emails before I had contacted you. I have no doubt it helped to relieve him of his ethical dilemma before the NS NDP decided what to do about their chance to unseat the Conservatives. I have no doubt whatsoever many lawyers in Canada were praying that the Suffolk County District Attorney would have me back in the loony bin by April 28th and that all your troubles would go away. I opted to let you all have your way and did not bother you anymore until the Queen had left our shores and Parliament quit for the summer. Now it is my turn to have some fun and raise a little Political Hell.
While the Queen, Clarkson and Martin where all having a grand old time on the Canadian dime my little Clan went through living hell down here. Trust me, lawyers need to learn some new tricks. Ignorance is no excuse to the law or me. Making some Canadian Attorney Generals and their political buddies show me their arses is child's play to me after all that I have experienced in the last few years. If you doubt me ask Michael J. Bryant and Yvon Marcoux why I am so pissed at their bosses and the DHS. Then check my work for yourself. If the tag team of John Ashcroft and Tom Ridge could not intimidate me, believe me you people don't have a prayer. Both of those dudes have quit their jobs but I am still standing and squaring off against their replacements now. If it were not for all the decent folks I know, the snotty ones like you would make me feel ashamed to be a Canadian. There is no shortage of lawyers. It is just that ethical ones that are rare birds, that's all. You must know how easily the Canadian people can replace you with other lawyers if it becomes widely known how willing you are to ignore crime if it means some fancy dude may be compelled to suffer for his own wrongs.
The justice system is supposed to be self-policing. It should clean up its own act rather than trying to maintain a false mask of integrity for lawyers that are obviously criminals. It is way beyond my understanding why you people would choose to support the likes of Paul Martin, Adrienne Clarkson, T. Alex Hickman and Billy Matthews if you are not all as crooked as hell as well. The deliberate ignorance and double-talk employed by the wealthy few to dodge simple truths is absolutely offensive to ordinary people blessed with the rare attribute called common sense. Not all folks are like sheep. Paul Martin's latest tricks make for a very fine example of truly how bad things are. Even amidst wholesale scandals breaking out hell, west and crooked everywhere lawyers and politicians just close ranks and stand together as thick as the thieves they are. I stress tested the ethics of the ladies of the Bloc Quebecois and the Gomery Inquiry immediately after Martin's carefully orchestrated little circus in Parliament on May 19th was a matter of history. Lets just say I was not surprised to not hear one peep in response from anyone other than to get a call from an unidentified and very nervous but cocky Yankee lawyer claiming that Tony Blair was mad at me.
Pursuant to my phone calls, emails and faxes please find enclosed as promised exactly the same hard copy of what I sent to the Canadian Ambassadors Allan Rock and Franky Boy McKenna and a couple of nasty FBI agents on May 12th just before an interesting event in front of our home in Milton. I have also included a copy of four letters I have received in response since then that you may find interesting to say the least. I also sent you a copy of a letter sent to a lady Ms. Condolezza Rice whom our former Prime Minister Brian Mulroney considers to be the most powerful woman in the world. The CD of the copy of police surveillance tape # 139 is served upon all the above named Attorney Generals as officers of the court in order that it may be properly investigated. I will not bother you with the details of what I am sending to you byway of the certified US Mail because I will be serving identical material to many other Canadian Authorities in hand and tell them I gave this stuff to you first and enclose a copy of this letter. All that is important to me right now is that I secure proof that this mail was sent before I make my way back home to the Maritimes.
However I will say I am also enclosing a great deal more material than what Allan Rock had received in the UN. Some of it is in fact the same material the two maritime lawyers, Rob Moore and Franky Boy McKenna in particular received, while I was up home running for Parliament last year. Things have changed greatly in the past year so I have also included a few recent items to spice things up for you. I am tired of trying to convince people employed in law enforcement to uphold the law. So all I will say for now is deal will your own conscience and be careful how you respond to this letter. If you do not respond. Rest assured I will do my best to sue you some day. Ignorance is no excuse to the law or me.
Veritas Vincit David R. Amos
The enclosed letter from The Public Service Integrity Office, whose boss recently testified before the Gomery Inquiry and following quotes prove why I must speak out.
"Well what do you expect?" said Le Hir in reaction. "Anybody who had been involved in that kind of thing isn't going to admit readily, or willfully, to having participated." Asked why he's waited 10 years to come out with his allegations, Le Hir said he was "sworn to secrecy.""I'm breaking that oath, and the only way I could have been relieved by that oath was by a judge in a court saying, 'Mr. Lehir, I understand that you have made an oath of secrecy; and you're hereby relieved of that oath.""Mr. Wallace added that police and the courts, not internal rules, are best-equipped to deal with bureaucrats who cross the line and break the law. But Judge Gomery did not appear satisfied. "It takes a major scandal to get the police involved," he said. "It is not in the nature of the public service to call in the police."
Everybody knows that in order to protect the rights and interests of my Clan and to sooth my own soul, I have proven many times over that all lawyers, law enforcement authorities, and politicians in Canada and the USA are not worthy of the public trust. I maintain that their first order of business is to protect the evil longstanding system they have created for their own benefit rather than the people they claim to serve. Call me a liar and put it in writing. I Double Dog Dare ya.
Baker got my material. So did everyone else. Only the Attorney General in Quecbec refused it. I bet our newest Governor General knows why. It is likely for the same reason she will not accept my emails. It should be obvious to anyone why I must sue the Crown.

Friday, October 15, 2010 The vermin are dying The pedophile David Raymond Amos, his prostitute friend Robin Reid and others like their ilk are vermin. Their children like Laura the Hutt and Maxwell are also vermin. These under-evolved sub-humans do NOT work and earn a living. These animals are not educated nor learned in any way. But most especially none of them posses a shred of human or academic integrity.
To wit: Here is a scintilla of Robin Reid's venereal disease madness induced rantings:
Mr. Lukazuk, Funny how you are able to change seats when religion and immigration are 2 of your worst abuses you are guilty of and you are never held responsible. That Sir is going to change. Perhaps when the tables turn we will see how you like staying in your created dives through the immigration scam program. Hmmm, how does that sound Mr. Lukazuk, you and Winnie can stay in a few place us abused have been forced to stay. Please let me know when it happens how it feels? I would not hold your head so high Sir, after this scam through immigration against my people. Shame on you.
I will contact you personally over some abuses we recently endured and trust me we have no problem addressing this issues of abuse through your despotic immigration program of feeding the rich and bury the poor.
You insult the people, shame on you.
Thank you Robin Reid
PS. Funny how you cancelled my last appointment with you when I had asked Your Employee Barry Winters to meet me at your office, do you remember???????? Close quote
Throughout several years both our uneducated and insane "friends" have produced reams of this incomprehensible drivel. Numerous blogs has blocked their "work", neither are welcome any longer on You Tube. And whilst I have worked for more than a few elected officials, I have never worked for MLA Lukaziuk nor have I ever met with or wanted to meet with the prostitute Robin Reid.
Our uneducated and insane "friend" also wrote this to former Alberta Premier Ralph Klein.

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.
Signed by Della Hart STEPHEN J. MAY Signature STAMP DELLA HART A Commissioner for Oaths in and for the Province of Newfoundland and Labrador. My commission expires on December 31, 2009
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?
Have your lawyers review the emials below and tell your Attorney General to find the documents I sent his office byway REGISTERED US MAIL in 2005 and tell them to give me a call if they have more BALLS than you EH MR WALL?
How dumb was that? I must ask did he expect the cops to arrest both of us and then call us both crazy? Hell Urquhart even bragged in front of the cops that he did the same shit on July 4th, 2008 That malicious 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 bastards last nght Google will offer Chucky Leblanc's bullshit about mean old me at the top of the hit list DUHHH?
Do tell does Carl Baby really think I won't sue his nasty arse someday? Ya think the corrupt ex cop of Fat Fred City's Finest would at least wait until he and his cohorts got sworn in to take over your jobs EH?

With ANOTHER election in the near future I see no need to explain my issues again about theexploitation of our natural resources to a bunch of sneaky lawyers.(everyboy shoul checkout the pdf hereto attache) especially our former Deputy Prime Minister Lanslide Annie McLelllan an the RCMP thought they knew everything seven years ago and did nothing let alone call me back just like you an your many conservative cohorts NEVER did EH Brucy Baby Northrup? (902 800 0369 Notice my new contact number? You an the RCMP can forget Werner Bock's now)
Clearly there is no need for politicians to try to be confidential with mean old me when the Globe and Mail loves spiling the beans sometimes ou woul think those unethical journlists woul know that simple truths spoken amongst common folk about corrupt politicians have a good habit of coming to the surface sooner or later anyway EH?

Thanks for your message. I am out of the office until Tuesday, April 19.
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?
Did that lots of people have an opinion of bugets not just David Suzuki and the greasy gassy oily guys such as Emera, Corridor Resources and irving Oil

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.

Hamilton mayoral candidates Andrea Horwath and Keanin Loomis are set to face off in a debate at 7 p.m. Bob Bratina will not participate in the debate after testing positive for COVID-19 on Monday night.
The race for city council in Hamilton’s Ward 5 is jam-packed with candidates. Ward 5 is one of the wards where a new face on council is guaranteed because there is no incumbent.
Russ Powers has been filing in since Chad Collins stepped down but Powers isn’t running in the election. Eleven candidates want Ward 5’s seat, but only one can win.
Businessman and coach George Rusich says he’s the right guy, “I believe the definition of a councillor is somebody who inspires their community, their youth, their small businesses, I live as a councillor daily. I own a sport rehab where I help hundreds of residents from the Ward 5 area.”
Canada Revenue Agency employee Bob Hurst says he’s got the know-how to handle constituent concerns.
“I’ve spent the last 15 years working with the federal government listening to taxpayers call in with their questions and concerns and trying to address those. I feel I can do that as a representative for the individuals in Ward 5 in the city and make sure they feel they’re being listened to,” Hurst explained.
Former longtime city employee Gordon Noble is running on his experience inside city hall, “I know the ins and outs of the city, I’ve handled million-dollar budgets and I think my experience is experience that matters.”
Commercial realtor Krysta Boyer thinks an experienced leader is what Ward 5 needs, and says her years of volunteer work makes her the right choice.
“Within that twenty years of community service I’ve gained a lot of knowledge that will transfer over into that role of councillor and what we need right now is experience,” Boyer said.
Ryan Ladner, a former aide to ex-Stoney Creek MPP Paul Miller says his experience handling constituent concerns would help him be a great councillor. Beyond that, he wants to stop the proposed redevelopment of Eastgate Square, which includes new high-rise residential buildings.
“They have the five towers that are being proposed and we’re already seeing major issues right now with the three that are being proposed off of Francis. It’s got the community in a massive uproar right now,” Ladner said.
Candidate and former city employee Matt Francis also wants to see the plan stopped, “Centennial and Queenston is very busy, throwing 9,000 people in this location is only going to make matters worse.”
With all the development going on in the ward, longtime Environment Hamilton Executive Director Lynda Lukasik her PhD in urban planning makes her the right choice.
“Having someone who understands planning policy, understands some of the challenging issues we have in the city with planning, I think is someone who’s in a really good position to get in and do the job right,” Lukasik said.

Paul Fromm, who runs several far-right organizations, is among Hamilton's nine mayoral candidates for the Ontario municipal elections this October. (Lorenda Reddekopp/CBC News)
Municipal election candidates are entitled to get access to the names and addresses of voters as defined under Ontario law, raising some concerns when it comes to a self-described white nationalist who's running for Hamilton mayor this fall.
Paul Fromm, who has run many times for political office at different levels, is among nine mayoral candidates looking to replace Fred Eisenberger, who chose not to seek re-election in the Oct. 24 municipal vote.
The City of Hamilton confirmed to CBC that municipal candidates were given access to the list of voters as of Sept. 1.
Fromm has advocated for whites-only immigration and marched with Nazis.
His latest attempt to become Hamilton mayor — he also ran in 2018 — has drawn concern from anti-hate activist Bernie Farber and others.
Farber, chair of the Canadian Anti-Hate Network, reacted to Fromm getting voters' names and addresses by saying, "What can be done with that is a little frightening."
But in an email to CBC Hamilton, Fromm said any concerns about him having voter information are unfounded, adding that "the implications are both scaremongering and defamatory."
"I have run in elections, municipal, federal and provincial, in both Ontario and Alberta [once], and have had access to voters lists. I have never used them other than for legitimate election purposes.
"I hope this election will be about freedom and the way many politicians have abused and restricted ours during COVID."
There is a level of concern because [Fromm] doesn't believe everyone should be treated equally … This is real life, there are real consequences.
- Lyndon George, executive director, Hamilton Anti-Racism Resource Centre
Farber, however, said releasing people's home addresses, in an era when information can be shared easily online, puts individuals who work in the public domain or who say or do things that "racists and bigots don't like" at risk.
"If a bad guy wanted to find out where the good guys lived, all they have to do is run for office," Farber told CBC Hamilton in late August, calling Fromm "the great-grandfather of the neo-Nazi movement in this country."
Evan Balgord, executive director of the Canadian Anti-Hate Network, said while Farber and his organization aren't alleging that Fromm has or will do anything illegal with the data, the bottom line is they don't trust him.
"You can't trust a word a Nazi says and he's been an open one for decades," Balgord said.
Farber, former chief executive officer of the Canadian Jewish Congress, has been the target of numerous threats and a 1994 neo-Nazi plot against his life. (Around that time, Farber says, the Heritage Front was planning to come to his workplace— he believes it's because they didn't know where he lived.)
Anti-racism centre also expresses concern
In a statement to CBC, local organization Hamilton Anti-Racism Resource Centre (HARRC) said it shared Farber's concerns.
"As an organization that offers support services to individuals who encounter racism and hate in Hamilton, allowing Paul Fromm ... access to the voters list is a real concern in Hamilton," said HARRC executive director Lyndon George.
George said Fromm's history of not recognizing how hurtful his views are to many members of the community means it is difficult to trust him with something that can make residents feel vulnerable, such as having their personal information.
"Fromm has made hate his life work… From anti-Semitic to anti-immigrant statements, he has a long and well-known list of hate associated with his name. Allowing him access to a voters list that includes addresses and names of residents is something we clearly do not support … There is a level of concern because he doesn't believe everyone should be treated equally … His words have often been the things that individuals turn to to validate their sense of hate. This is real life, there are real consequences."
Fromm's history with far-right organizations
Fromm, who moved to Hamilton from Mississauga in 2018, has a long history with white supremacist groups and causes. He runs several far-right organizations, including:
The Canadian Association for Free Expression, which has campaigned in support of Holocaust deniers.
Citizens for Foreign Aid Reform, which opposes foreign aid.
The Canada First Immigration Reform Committee, which opposes immigration, particularly by people who are not of European descent.
Fromm was dismissed from his teaching job at the Peel District School Board in 1993 because of his political activities.
In revoking his teaching licence in 2007, the Ontario College of Teachers cited Fromm's attendance at a birthday celebration for Adolf Hitler in 1991 and him sharing a stage with Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke in 1994 as among the reasons.
Hamilton could have a better system, Farber says
Farber said he's removed himself from the voters list to protect his family from potential threats from any candidate or party.
He said the Canadian Anti-Hate Network has made its concerns clear at the federal level. The organization has also taken issue with candidates and parties at various levels, such as the People's Party of Canada, and its access to voter information.
Farber also suggested that Fromm's repeated candidacy in Hamilton could have motivated the city to come up with an alternate system to releasing voter information.
"Hamilton could lead and could come up with a resourceful idea to keep the information personal," he said, shortly before the list was made available to candidates.
The City of Hamilton confirmed that, under Ontario's Municipal Elections Act, it must provide voter information to anyone certified as a candidate.
Candidates must submit an oath promising to use the package for election purposes only and not post it online or sell it, explained Aine Leadbetter, manager of elections, print and mail.
When asked why Fromm should have access to the names and addresses of voters in Hamilton, given his far-right ties and activities, city communications officer Michelle Shantz said "all certified candidates are entitled, under the Municipal Elections Act (MEA), to request and receive a copy of the voters list."
The issue of giving voter lists to candidates with controversial pasts was raised in recent years in Calgary when concerns surfaced over mayoral candidate Kevin J. Johnston, who was facing assault and hate-crime charges in Ontario and B.C.
CBC News reported in 2021 that as a result of allegations surrounding Johnston, the City of Calgary was working with its legal team regarding legislation that requires a list of voters be provided to mayoral candidates.
Elections Calgary eventually decided to run the October 2021 civic election without a voter list, according tothe Calgary Herald. At the time, the Canadian Anti-Hate Network said while Calgary wouldn't be giving the municipal candidates the names and addresses of voters, "the issue with elector lists is a Canada-wide problem."
George, of HARRC, said Calgary made a "bold decision" on the issue and urged Hamilton policymakers to do the same.
"Standing up to hate takes leadership at all levels of government. The question is will our current and future elected municipal leaders take steps to prevent known neo-Nazis like Paul Fromm from accessing the voters list?" he asked.
Political scientist Peter Graefe told CBC Hamilton the list can be beneficial to candidates who are able to tap into voter information from past elections and be strategic in their campaign planning.
"With both name and address, campaigns can be more confident in lining up data collected in past campaigns (including campaigns at other levels of government) with the voters list in the current campaign," he said.
Fromm is running against Bob Bratina, Ejaz Butt, Jim Davis, Andrea Horwath, Solomon Ikhuiwu, Hermiz Ishaya, Keanin Loomis and Michael Pattison.
While the Canadian Anti-Hate Network didn't take specific issue with any other candidate in Hamilton, it told CBC it doesn't think "anybody should be given voters lists, given the privacy and safety issues."
'Take a stand against hate at the ballot box'
Howard Eisenberg, president of the Hamilton Jewish Federation, raised concerns of his own over who's able to get voters lists.
"It is troubling that personal information from the voter registry could find its way into the hands of self-declared white nationalists," Eisenberg wrote in a statement. "This is something that would be concerning not just to the Jewish community but to other minorities as well.
"Hamiltonians should take a stand against hate at the ballot box and send a clear and unequivocal message that there is no place for hate at City Hall."
Hamilton-based Rabbi David Mivasair sees things differently. Mivasair is a political activist with Independent Jewish Voices, which has called out Israel's treatment of Palestinians and supported the boycott, divestment and sanctions movement.
I assume that if anyone wants to find me or any other community activists, they can.
- Hamilton Rabbi David Mivasair
He said although it's unpleasant to think about Fromm getting everyone's address, it doesn't really change much. Mivasair said a lot of personal information can easily be found online, and candidates often buy voter information that has such details included.
"I'm not particularly concerned that a racist gets access to publicly available information," he said. "I assume that if anyone wants to find me or any other community activists, they can. It's not hard to find virtually anyone. Any journalist, any political activist, any rabbi.
"I'm not saying Paul Fromm is an OK person or I am not worrying about him. But … that information [from the voters list] doesn't indicate a person's ethnic background or political orientation. He's not going to be able to go through that information to find out who the leftists are or who the racialized people are.
"If he wants to get Rabbi Mivasair doxxed, he can [already] do that."

The Halton District School Board isn’t answering any more questions about the Toronto-area high school teacher who went viral around the world for wearing what appears to be jumbo-sized prosthetic breasts to class.
They won’t answer media questions. They won’t answer questions put to them by parents. And they’re using the excuse of it being a “personnel matter” for not dealing with the issue.
That’s not right. Because parents (and students) are right to be concerned. The situation just isn’t normal and shouldn’t be allowed to continue.
When the story first went viral, it was after students at Oakville Trafalgar High School posted a number of pictures and videos to social media. Margo Shuttleworth, chair of the school board, told the Sun’s Joe Warmington that they were standing behind the teacher in the name of protecting “gender rights”. Shuttleworth added that they were “creating a safety plan” for both the teacher and in anticipation of protests.
But other than a lone individual who would not give his name to media, nobody showed up to protest in front of the school on Monday morning. Students arriving at school that morning gave differing opinions to the Sun, with some not concerned about the issue and others saying it has caused debate within the school.
The Sun has since been told by sources that few students attended the teachers’ class that day, with only about half a dozen kids showing up. Meanwhile, parents have called and emailed the school to ask questions and haven’t received meaningful responses.
It’s obvious that the status quo should not continue. The teacher should not be able to continue teaching – especially shop class – while wearing such distracting and disturbing accoutrement.
School boards have dress codes. As employment lawyer Sunira Chaudhri recently explained in a column by Jerry Agar, the school is totally within their right to expect this teacher to follow a dress code.
Chaudhri described the teacher’s presentation as “beyond the scope of what any reasonable employer would expect and nobody would be surprised to see an employer stepping in and saying, ‘We need you as a teacher to come to school and dress professionally.’”
Exactly. This has nothing to do with something like transgender rights. The story has gone viral not because the teacher identifies as trans. It’s gone viral because everyone knows it’s completely inappropriate for someone to present themselves this way in a professional environment.
Yet the board isn’t budging. When the Sun asked them to confirm the reduced attendance at the class, the fact parents have deemed their response inadequate and to find out what they’d be doing next, they would not answer any of those questions. They instead stuck to their talking points.
“The HDSB recognizes the rights of students, staff, parents/guardians and community members to equitable treatment without discrimination based upon gender identity and gender expression. Gender identity and gender expression are protected grounds under the Ontario Human Rights Code.,” the board said in a statement that was not attributed to any one individual. “As this is a personnel matter, we cannot provide further information.”
What do you call such a phenomenon? This goes beyond an incident of “wokeness” or “political correctness”. The fact that there’s a very simple issue that needs to be addressed here and it appears that the board just won’t do anything about it puts this in a whole different league.

The district has defended Lemieux and said it would no longer answer questions about the issue as it is a 'personnel matter'
The trans high school teacher in Canada who is flaunting oversize prosthetic breasts will have to tone down her revealing wardrobe if school board members get their way.
Kayla Lemieux, a tech teacher at Oakville Trafalgar High School in an upscale residential neighborhood roughly 25 miles west of Toronto, has garnered global attention after photos and video appeared on social media showing her eye-popping fake breasts.
Under pressure from fuming parents, the Halton District School Board (HDSB) issued a statement to explain that its hands are tied due to the province's Human Rights Code.
And students seem to be behind the move. Several joined a small protest outside the school Friday, with one declaring: 'This is a school, not a circus. We just want to learn.'
A motion was put forward at a school board meeting Wednesday to consider altering the dress code – which could mean that Lemieux may have to ditch the fabric-stretching prosthetic breasts, which sell online for as much as $1,000.

At a meeting of the HDSB on Wednesday, trustee Tracey Ehl Harrison put forward a motion that 'the director be requested to return to the board, by November 2022, a report addressing the various considerations regarding dress code'
'The HDSB recognizes the rights of students, staff, parents/guardians and community members to equitable treatment without discrimination based upon gender identity and gender expression,' the board said in a statement. 'Gender identity and gender expression are protected grounds under the Ontario Human Rights Code.'
Minutes before the final bell on Friday, a small group of protesters showed up at the end of the school’s driveway, shouting for school officials to ‘protect our children.’
Across the street, several people held signs that spelled out ‘Inclusivity is no excuse for depravity.’ One person held up a sign that said: ‘Teacher’s personal propaganda has no place in the classroom.’
Most of the students who spilled out of the school’s numerous exits left to start their weekends but a group of mostly senior grade students joined the protest.
Police officers, facing a crowd that swelled to nearly 100, escorted vehicles out of the school parking lot.
‘Thank you for speaking up for us,’ one male student shouted before being handed a megaphone. ‘This is a school not a circus! We just want to learn!’
Another student told the protesters he doesn’t go to school to be ‘distracted.’
‘It’s so crazy that nobody is doing anything.’
Students who joined the fracas said they are bound by a dress code that prohibits visible nipples or genitalia so they are left wondering why the same rules don’t apply to Lemieux.
One of the protest organizers blasted the human rights code for protecting ‘a man who dresses up as a woman who has size Z fetish fake boobs.’
‘What are we doing to our children to allow this?’ he asked the crowd.
Protesters from a faith-based group called Action 4 Canada called for the principal and school board trustees to resign for failing to protect students.
It appeared that Lemieux was taken out of the school to the driveway of an adjacent YMCA childcare facility, where she was driven away from the scene.
Protesters have vowed to keep fighting and are planning more demonstrations.
At a meeting of the HDSB on Wednesday, trustee Tracey Ehl Harrison put forward a motion that 'the director be requested to return to the board, by November 2022, a report addressing the various considerations regarding dress code.'
Yuxuan Xie, a student in grade 10, told the Sun that most of the kids in school seem to have brushed the incident off.
'I don't really hear anyone talking about it,' he said. 'I think, maybe, we don't care about that.'
A woman identifying herself as Lei, a mother of a senior at the school, told the Sun that while she was ok with Lemieux coming out as a trans woman, she said wearing such large prosthetics was too much.
'I think he's going a little too far,' Lei said. 'I think identifying himself is ok, but I think that just wearing that in the classroom... I still have concerns over that.'
The Halton District School board says it is standing by a teacher at Oakville Trafalgar High School, despite growing international attention.
The shop teacher has made headlines internationally due to the choice to sport large, prosthetic breasts along with tight work attire students say is unprofessional and uncomfortable to be around.

Bonjour,
Nous accusons réception de votre courriel.

Conservative Party of Quebec Leader Éric Duhaime signs his biography for a supporter after a morning run on the Plains of Abraham, Thursday, September 29, 2022 in Quebec City.Photo by Karoline Boucher /CP
QUEBEC CITY — Éric Duhaime straps the harness on his pit bull-Labrador mix, Mia, and attaches the leash to his belt.
As he exits his campaign bus, a group of roughly 30 supporters wearing athleisure cheers him on as he approaches the running track in the battlegrounds park of the Plains of Abraham.
It’s a chilly 7 C, and Duhaime maintains a brisk five-minute-per-kilometre pace over three kilometres as he chats with party activists.
Momentum appears to be on the side of his Conservative Party of Quebec, with the favourable polls published in the morning showing a five-percentage-point lead over the Coalition Avenir Québec in the riding of Beauce-Nord, and the party behind by one point in the riding of Beauce-Sud.
However, while Duhaime appears to have the momentum in the Quebec City and Beauce region, he is running against the wind if he hopes to translate that support into actual seats.
Speaking to reporters Thursday at a campaign stop in Portneuf, west of Quebec City, Duhaime said he knows his party is in many tight races, but because his voters skew younger, they are less likely to vote than supporters of the CAQ.
“It’s important for us to get seats,” Duhaime said. “But there is a risk that there will be a significant electoral distortion on Monday night. We want to tell the young people out there to ask their parents and grandparents to vote with them and to vote for the future.”
The CAQ is polling around the same level as it was in the last election, but is projected to win an even bigger majority, while Duhaime fears his party could earn close to 20 per cent of the votes and yet win no seats in the National Assembly.
Duhaime is pulling all the stops to push party supporters to go out and vote.
At rallies, he’s telling them to babysit for others who need childcare so they can go vote, and to drive those with mobility issues to the polls on Monday.
While he’s buoyed by the high participation rate in the advance polls, particularly in areas where his support is strongest, Duhaime is taking nothing for granted.
If his party is shut out on election day, it will result in many people being disenfranchised, he said.
“If we’re not in the National Assembly, then we’ll be on the street,” Duhaime said. “As a people, we should have this opposition in the assembly and have our debate in a democratic and appropriate way, but what happened in the last few years is that a lot of people went into the streets and that’s how they voiced their opposition.”
Duhaime welcomed the news that Parti Québécois Leader Paul St-Pierre Plamondon said Thursday that the Conservative leader should have a seat at the assembly.
“I think that was gracious of him, and I want to commend him for that,” he said. “I also want to commend different people in the media who have come out in the last few days who might disagree with my ideas but agree that the Conservative voice needs to be heard on Oct. 3.”
Duhaime, who gained popularity by opposing COVID-19 health restrictions, was in friendly territory Thursday, speaking to Radio X morning host Dominic Maurais and repeating the message that his supporters need to show up en masse to vote.
Duhaime said incumbent immigration minister Jean Boulet should be dropped as a candidate after his anti-immigration remarks made headlines.
“Mr. Boulet is disqualified,” he said. “He should not be on the ballot.”
Duhaime said Legault should dump Boulet for saying 80 per cent of immigrants don’t speak French, don’t work and don’t adhere to Quebec values.
The comments came to light on Wednesday, a week after Boulet made them during an all-candidates debate in Trois-Rivières.
While Legault said the comments “disqualified” Boulet from being immigration minister, Duhaime said he should not be permitted to run as an MNA at all.
“What message is (Legault) trying to send — his comments are not acceptable for a minister, but they’re totally acceptable for a candidate of the CAQ and an MNA for Trois-Rivières? That argument makes no sense.
“Mr. Legault will have to sit down with Mr. Boulet and make a decision.”
The Conservative leader said Boulet’s comments have no place in an electoral campaign.
“I don’t like to call people racist,” he said. “I won’t accuse him of being a racist, but his comments are so out of place that it disqualifies him.”
Duhaime added he’s concerned about Legault’s repeated comments about immigration, the most recent coming Wednesday, when he said accepting more than 50,000 immigrants a year would be “suicidal for the Quebec nation.”
“I look in all the small villages — the immigrants who are there are like family,” Duhaime said. “The people from there will buy them winter coats. That’s how we Quebecers are, and François Legault is giving us an image as intolerant people, and he’s harming the province’s reputation.”
He said it’s clear Legault’s campaign is in disarray.
“Every day, he seems to be in a very bad mood,” Duhaime said. “Today he was in a very bad mood in Rouyn-Noranda, where he didn’t like to answer a reporter’s questions. He was very aggressive. That shows that Mr. Legault needs a much stronger opposition in the National Assembly. That man has been handling Quebec by decree for way too long. He doesn’t like to be contradicted, but that’s why democracy is useful.”
On another radio show, Duhaime said his party is set to make a final pitch to anglophones to abandon the Liberals and vote for the Conservatives.
He told CJAD 800 host Elias Makos that non-francophones are joining his movement and he hopes to pick up seats on the island of Montreal.
“A lot of non-francophones are getting in, and I’m happy about that,” Duhaime said. “We’ll be in the west end of Montreal on Saturday, in the Jacques-Cartier riding, and I will make a bilingual speech.”
Duhaime said the Liberals risk becoming a marginalized party, as they have polled poorly among francophone voters.

Conservative Party of Quebec Leader Éric Duhaime is distancing himself from a member of the party's executive branch after he published an opinion piece claiming there was no genocide against Indigenous people in Canada.
The party's policy commission president André Valiquette published the article in Québec Nouvelles last year, arguing Indigenous people largely benefited from the European colonization of their land.
"It is not racist to say that one civilization brings more than another," Valiquette wrote in the article.
"It was also Western civilization, that curiosity about others, that helped Indigenous people learn about their own history."
André Valiquette volunteers with the party's policy commission, a party spokesperson said. (The Conservative Party of Quebec)
When asked on Saturday if he agreed with what Valiquette wrote, Duhaime said he didn't.
"I don't share [those views], they don't represent the policies of the party," the leader said. "But he has a right to say it as a columnist."
Valiquette serves as the president of the party's political commission, according to its website. Press secretary Cédric Lapointe said Valiquette helps the party "on policies" as a volunteer, but wouldn't reveal the extent of his involvement in the official party line.
CBC News attempted to reach Valiquette multiple times, but he never responded. At a campaign event on Saturday in Montreal's West Island he also again refused to comment.
"He backed up his personal analysis on this issue, which should be encouraged in a free and democratic society," added Véronique Gagnon, the president of the party's communications commission, in an email.
Duhaime told reporters on Friday he was "too busy" to attend any commemorations for the second annual National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, not wanting to hold off meeting with the mayor of Quebec City with the election just days away.
It was declared a federal statutory holiday last year just days after the Tk'emlúps te Secwépemc First Nation confirmed the discovery of roughly 200 potential burial sites, likely of children, on the site of a former residential school in Kamloops, B.C.
The Coalition Avenir Québec was the only party that attended a Truth and Reconciliation commemoration on Friday, when Leader François Legault visited the site of a former residential school in Saint-Marc-de-Figuery, Que., in the Abitibi-Témiscamingue region.
Liberal party Leader Dominique Anglade said she would have gone to the march in Montreal, but was told organizers preferred not to have any candidates attending. Meanwhile Québec Solidaire co-spokesperson Gabriel Nadeau-Dubois said he wanted Indigenous voices be front and centre that day, while Parti Québécois Leader Paul St-Pierre Plamondon said scheduling got in the way.
Duhaime has also said his party doesn't agree the day should be a statutory holiday in Quebec, making it the only major party in the election on board with the Coalition Avenir Québec (CAQ).
"We need to work, we can't take days off too often, we already have a lot of days off," Duhaime told reporters on Thursday.
Éric Duhaime was born in Montreal on April 15, 1969 and grew up in Laval. He holds a bachelor's degree in political science from the University of Montreal and a master's degree in public administration from ÉNAP.
He has held various political offices, including:
- parliamentary assistant, researcher, and political adviser to the leader of the Bloc Québécois from 1993 to 1999; - political adviser to the Leader of the Official Opposition in the House of Commons from 2000 to 2002; - political adviser to the leader of the Action Démocratique du Québec (ADQ) from 2003 to 2005; - political adviser to the leader of the official opposition in the National Assembly from 2007 to 2008.
Éric also acted as a democratic development consultant for the National Democratic Institute in Morocco from 2005 to 2007 and in Iraq from 2008 to 2009. In 2010, he co-founded the Réseau Liberté-Québec (RLQ), an organization that aimed to network the political circles of Quebec's right.
From 2010 to 2020, he was a columnist and host in several Quebec and Canadian media, including the Journal de Montréal and the Journal de Québec, Sun Media, 98.5, Radio X and FM93. He also published four sociopolitical essays: The State Against Young People (2011), Free Us from the Unions (2013), The SAQ Pulls the Cork (2014) and The End of Homosexuality and the Last Gay (2017).
On April 17, 2021, he was elected leader of the Conservative Party of Quebec by more than 10,000 members.
"We're not here to cover our tracks, we're here to win. I came to Chauveau because it's a riding that looks like me. It is also a constituency that has a younger profile."
Olivier Dumais is an entrepreneur by nature, a property owner, and a seasoned manager.
Very involved at every level, in 2017 he became mayor of St-Lambert-de-Lauzon at the age of 37, and he also serves as deputy prefect and president of the security committee for the Regional County Municipality (MRC) of Nouvelle-Beauce.
“I decided to join the Conservative Party of Quebec because it is the party that best matches my values. I am happy and proud to announce my official arrival in the Conservative family. I believe in transparency, democracy, freedom of choice, the protection of seniors and youth, health care both physical and mental, and the sound management of Quebec.”
A native of Saint-Georges who has lived in Montreal for several years now, Jonathan Poulin studied accounting and management at Cégep Beauce-Appalaches. He then obtained a Bachelor’s degree in civil law from the University of Ottawa, followed by a Doctorate in common law (J.D.) from Université de Montréal.
The 30-year-old lawyer is well aware of the issues that concern his home region, including the labour shortage, the need to balance regional training courses with immigration, and the desperate need for community health services and home care.
“In my opinion, the Conservative Party of Quebec is the only party that promises real, in-depth change to correct all the things currently going wrong in Quebec. I can connect with the values the party defends, and the solutions they propose line up nicely with my own personal values. Today, I am both happy and proud to enter politics under the banner of the Conservatives and to be able to participate in these major changes.”
Director of the COOP Saint-André and volunteer President of the Corporation des Loisirs de Saint-André, François Therrien is passionate about hunting, fishing and cryptocurrency.
Mr. Therrien finds the Quebec Conservative Party’s proposals on family and education very compelling, especially the policies of offering $200 per child to allow parents to choose the type of daycare that’s right for them, and of providing significant support to parents who wish to home school.
“The riding of Bonaventure is a large and beautiful region. We should have more local control over our own economic development and our health care and education needs. Decentralization would be good for us. This community knows its own needs and would really benefit from being more autonomous. The Conservative Party of Quebec is the only party proposing to give the regions more independence in their decision-making.”
A native and current resident of Gaspé, Pier-Luc Bouchard has a degree in natural sciences from the Cégep de Gaspé and in paramedic care from the Cégep de Sainte-Foy.
Mr. Bouchard has worked as a paramedic for fifteen years. He also owns income properties and has run his own construction company, Construction PLB, for the past six years. The front-line medical worker is very concerned about the state of Quebec’s health care system, the critical labour shortage and the urgent need to reduce gasoline taxes.
“In accordance with the CPQ’s proposal, we absolutely must allow the private sector to contribute to the public health care system. As things stand right now, all Quebecers are paying the price. It does not make sense for a failing system to be collectively costing us $1 billion a week. As an ambulance driver, I experience highly aberrant patient care situations on a daily basis. The entire population deserves better than this, health care workers deserve better than this, and the only party with the potential to make real changes is the CPQ.”
Originally from Cap-aux-Meules, Evan Leblanc recently moved to Pointe-aux-Loups and works in the field of transportation. Distinguished by his analytical and empathetic spirit, he wishes to bring hope, freedom, and pragmatic solutions to his fellow citizens.
The values of freedom, transparency, respect, and autonomy espoused by the CPQ, as well as Éric Duhaime’s very human approach and ability to listen, have motivated Mr. Leblanc’s decision to actively enter politics. Although he is very pleased with the contribution of tourism to the economic vitality of his Island, Mr. Leblanc is concerned about the difficulties experienced by islanders in finding housing, and he laments the fact that residents do not have priority access to the ferry:
“Islanders are caught between a rock and a hard place, the economic vitality of our community thanks to tourism versus our struggles to find housing and to get ferry access. Many homes are being taken off the rental market to be offered for seasonal tourist rentals. The result is a severe housing shortage for residents, who, on top of this, are denied priority access to the ferry. This is unacceptable! We have to decentralize decision-making to the regions.”
François Legault and the Coalition Avenir Québec started the 2022 Quebec election campaign with a big lead in the polls.
And that’s where they are ending it — despite themselves.
But while another CAQ majority looks very likely, the campaign hasn’t answered perhaps the biggest question we had when it began — are Quebec’s politics in the midst of a re-alignment as the Conservatives and Québec Solidaire rise and the Liberals and the Parti Québécois fade away?
To discuss what each of the parties can expect on Monday night, I’m joined again by Philippe J. Fournier of 338Canada.com on The Writ Podcast.
This will acknowledge receipt of a copy of your e-mail of December 29, 2006 to Corporal Warren McBeath of the RCMP.
Because of the nature of the allegations made in your message, I have taken the measure of forwarding a copy to Assistant Commissioner Steve Graham of the RCMP "J" Division in Fredericton.
Sincerely,
Honourable Michael B. Murphy Minister of Health
CM/cb
CLEARLY THE RCMP/GRC AND THE KPMG PALS DO NOT KNOW HOW TO READ LET ALONE COUNT BEANS EH?
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.
Former radio host, member of parliament and bus driver Andre Arthur has died at age 78

Former Quebec radio host Andre Arthur died Sunday.
While he was hospitalized for a few days, according to his own messages on Twitter, he himself prepared tweets announcing his death, which were published Sunday evening. He was 78 years old.
The cause of death was not communicated.
On Wednesday, he announced on social media that he discovered he had chronic obstructive pulmonary disease that was never diagnosed. The death occurred at the University Institute of Cardiology and Pneumology of Quebec.
Aujourd’hui, le 8 mai 2022 à l’hôpital Laval je suis mort. Je laisse dans le deuil mon fils René (Jade), mes 3 merveilleux petits enfants, ma fille Pascale (Louis), ma tendre Lucy et mon frère Louis (Réjane).
J’ai eu le privilège d’avoir eu une carrière de chauffeur d'autocar, d’arbitre de sport, d’élu à la chambre des communes comme indépendant sans allégeance à un parti, une place dans les médias qui j’espère n’a laissé personne indiffèrent et que j’ai réussi à vous faire rire.
Controversial, calling himself a polemicist, he occupied the airwaves in Quebec City since the early 1980s.
Arthur was also an independent Member of Parliament for the federal riding of Portneuf--Jacques-Cartier from 2006 to 2011.
After his election defeat, he made a return to radio, which was not without controversy. He was notably fired by CHOI Radio X in 2016, and then by BLVD 102.1 radio, after making homophobic remarks in 2018.
"I had the privilege of having had a career as a bus driver, a sports referee, elected to the House of Commons as an independent without allegiance to a party, a place in the media that I hope left no one indifferent and that I managed to make you laugh," he wrote in his posthumous tweet.
Arthur is survived by his son René, his three grandchildren, his daughter Pascale, his 'tender Lucy' and his brother Louis.

Former Saint John broadcaster Tom Young died Monday of complications from a knee surgery. He was 75. (Submitted by Trish Hamilton)
Tom Young, a radio icon in Saint John for more than 50 years, has died. He was 75.
Young was best known as the host of the long-running show Talk of the Town on CFBC as well as TheAfternoon News on News 88.9 Saint John, News 91.9 Moncton, and News 95.7 Halifax.
Young was born in 1942 and grew up in the Toronto area, quitting school after Grade 10 to join the military. He started his broadcasting career in military radio in what was then West Germany.
Longtime CHSJ news director Brian McLain met young in 1978, when he was scouted to join CFBC in Saint John.
Tom Young, right, played a charity hockey tournament with fellow radio broadcasters Donnie Robertson, centre, and Mark Lee. (Submitted by Jody Kliffer)
"He was a force of nature, a whirlwind, and charismatic on the radio," McLain said.
In 1976, during the Groundhog Gale, CFBC was the only radio station that remained on the air.
With Young at the helm, "it became like a command centre," said McLain.
"That was one of the highlights of his career, and it put CFBC on the map."
'Tom was the guy'
Todd Veinotte, who produced Young's afternoon news show and took over as host after his retirement, remembered Young as "the guy, back in the 1970s and into the 1980s."
"He was the boss — he brought in the numbers. He was CFBC."
While Veinotte and Young had "many disagreements" over the years, Veinotte said, "he taught me some important lessons — mainly, to never pretend to be anyone other than yourself, and never pretend you know something that you don't."
Tom Young, pictured here with former premier Shawn Graham, was well-known as a radio host in southern New Brunswick for nearly five decades. (Submitted by Trish Hamilton)
"He would drag himself into the studio no matter what. I remember one time he even had a bunch of teeth replaced, and he was just in agony, and he still dragged himself in and gave 100 per cent. He was an old-school radio guy, a pro."
Young could seem gruff to callers who ventured opinions on his Talk of the Town show, but Veinotte remembers the broadcaster's sense of humour.
"He was hilarious, always joking. He always used to say: 'never give the listener an opportunity to change the dial.'"
Young signed off for the last time in August 2011.
His "legacy was massive in southern New Brunswick," said Veinotte.
Mayor, town councillor
In addition to his radio career, Young's lifelong interest in politics led him to municipal governance.
He served as the mayor of Renforth from 1989 to 1992 and later for several terms as a Rothesay town councillor.
As a politician,"even if something was unpopular, he would stick to his guns," McLain said. "I remember going to his home and seeing the books on his shelves were all about politics and history.
"He came across as the everyday sort of guy, but he actually read very widely."
Young was known for his keen interest in local affairs, particularly politics. (Submitted by Trish Hamilton)
Although blunt and uncompromising at work, at home Young was a soft-hearted family man.
"Everyone saw him as a tough, mean guy that never smiled, but his family knew him in another light," son Tyler Young said, adding that with him and his two sisters, Young "had a heart of gold."
He and his wife, Diana, were married for nearly 50 years. They moved after their retirement to St. John's, N.L., in order to be close to their four grandchildren, who were "his whole world," his son said.
Tom Young died Monday in a St. John's hospital of complications from knee surgery last week.
"Some people were just made to be something," said Tyler. "And he was made to be a radio announcer."
No funeral will be held, according to Young's wishes.
Aujourd’hui, le 8 mai 2022 à l’hôpital Laval je suis mort. Je laisse dans le deuil mon fils René (Jade), mes 3 merveilleux petits enfants, ma fille Pascale (Louis), ma tendre Lucy et mon frère Louis (Réjane).

nikki lewisNot get to the truth *
NS citizensome of those guns ended up in Columbia, El Chapo, etc
Nighttime Podcastlines open for a question/reaction to the end of public proceedings
nikki lewisPicked and chosen their way through what to take a look at and ignored most of it, including critical witnesses
NS Bluenosercmp watching guns in Montana why would you think they are not involved

EZBENDPURPLEIs NS fast and furious news? Behind... again
EZBENDPURPLEAlmost as though there were gatekeeping
Ryan
Von Bargen of the alleged immigration scam avec Wortman?
NS citizenNS blue, RCMP might be making a Canadian gun registry of US gun sales/owners, ATF not allowed 18 US code 926 prevents ATF from making a digital record
lilybalm66through the whole MCC, the only mention of Peter Griffin was from Tara Long
Ryan
did no one notice the authorities saying Wortman and Von Bargen were thought to be running and immigration scheme
NS citizenwhy else would RCMP be watching gun shows?
Ryan
Maureen or Janice called i think
David AmosThe former ATF boss Michael Sullivan and I go back to 2002
NS citizenATF not allowed to make a searchable record of gun owners, sales or registration in any place owned by US, so maybe RCmP does it in Canada for ATF
EZBENDPURPLERCMP is involved with fast and furious

Scott McLeodhi @Michael Keefe
EZBENDPURPLEMontana/ATF/RCMP fast and furious
NS citizenconspiracy theory or a hypothesis, lol.
Nighttime Podcastgood point
Albinodump the rcmp.
David AmosMichael Sullivan: Biden's ATF nominee would compromise agency's mission. Here's howATF needs less politically biased and more mission-focused director
NS BluenoseEZ exactly I wish I was better putting the information out
Ryan
"The perpetrator and Kevin von Bargen also communicated with Canada Recruitment, aprofessional recruitment agency in the Middle East, regarding this plan."
Ryan
On October 17, 2019, the perpetrator and Kevin von Bargen exchanged emails discussing the taximplications of their plan. The perpetrator sent Mr. von Bargen an email stating:
Nighttime Podcastid love to see that COMM Ryan, u got the # handy?
NS Bluenose@ryan where is this information where did it come from
Cheryl ClarkeI'd like to know if Scott McLeod was happy with his lawyer's closing statement
Ryan
ATLANTIC IMMIGRATION PILOT PROGRAM PLAN219.
Ryan
The perpetrator and Mr. von Bargen shared mutual interests and social circles, andthe perpetrator sometimes asked for Mr. von Bargen’s opinion on his legal affairs
David AmosIn addition to serving as U.S. Attorney, in 2006 the President appointed and then nominated Mr. Sullivan Director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives
Ryan
they were running an immigration scam, the ITO email's hinted at it
Anita ButtsFast and furious of course it’s easy to come to Canada everyone is asleep
NS citizenryan
NS citizensee that article on immigration officer officer DM10032 who vanished?
nikki lewisPress also completely ignored SIT report from July 2020 discussed last week ,
EZBENDPURPLE100% Anita
NS citizenmarch 2020
David AmosFast and furious began under Sullivan
Ryan
that wasn't in the forencis audit lol btw
Scott McLeod@Cheryl Clarke I had a meeting with my lawyer before the closing statements. We looked at what was important that would not be looked at by others
Nighttime Podcastgreat one ryan, thnx
NS Bluenosethat is garbage ....have you ever seen how that works ...
NS citizen100% nikki
nikki lewisMCC and the rcmp and the DOJ
Cheryl Clarkethank @Scott....just curious if you were happy with him. I felt the lawyers were too lenient.
Ryan
@NS citizen i didn't, can you send it to me?
David AmosI was involved before the so called begining
Nicholas Langilledoes it slip through or have government officials put pressure on corporate media
nikki lewisStanton’s book theory is what played out
David AmosWho caused the MCC to exist?
NS citizenyep, Stanton's thesis from 2010
Patrick Penney Nikki
NS citizenimmigration officer dissapeared march 2020,. not sure if that's connected to pilot project, still weird
NS citizensome unknown guy
David AmosYou know who
nikki lewisRoyal Inquiry is needed now
David AmosNope
Nicholas Langillewhat does a royal inquiry do that this isn't.... they A
NS Bluenose100% Nikki
David AmosAs Palango about my lawsuits
Ken Triolwe say 23
Ryan
i wonder if the MCC even showed the immigration scam stuff in the video presentation, they excluded the zip tie and bloody gauze
nikki lewisPeople running it that are independent and not puppets of various agendas
NS citizenStanton came up with the idea in 2010
Michael Keefeit might be 22 because GW might not have killed Cory Ellison
ToshDoes Canada have a process for Royal Inquiry like what occurs in Australia?
NS citizentransform public inquiry into symbolic commission to "address historical injustices in established democracies"
Patrick PenneyMichael I am asking that Q
David Amosi talked Palango just once in 2009 and heard enough to figure him out
Nicholas LangilleI pray one of them either gets the truth or takes a massive settlement. move assets to a nice warm country and record a statement. we get the truth. they are agaw
JayOmg, that is so sweet!
Nicholas Langillesafe and can't be touched
Cheryl Clarkeawesome
Michael Keefethat's sweet Paul
Kelly MccleanLucky little guy. Although most don't want to be the subject matter of your writings!!!
NS citizen"TRUTH COMMISSIONS AND PUBLIC INQUIRIES: ADDRESSING HISTORICAL INJUSTICES IN ESTABLISHED DEMOCRACIES" by Kim Stanton, 2010
Michael KeefeLOL @ Paul
Janes BlondWe need a reporter with a backbone
NS citizengovernment chose a alchemist to transform public inquiry into a symbolic truth commission
nikki lewisRight on Citizen
Mamacita 902I want one!
Ryan
"your trusted partner in international recruitment" HR Manager Gabriel Wortman, you can't make this shit up
NS citizeninquiry is to discover what happened, truth commission is to achieve operative success: social change
NS citizentransformation vs discovery
NS citizenpretty sketchy Ryan
Ryan
i thought everyone knew sorry
NS citizenWortman and von bargen up to some strange stuff I mean
EZBENDPURPLEI wonder if VON Bargen was involved in Fast and Furious?
Ryan
yup, he needed to be on the stand, Von Bargen stated Wortman was redoing his will/estate to make sure Banfield didn't receive the whole thing/lump sum and annuity instead
EZBENDPURPLENew York law license
nikki lewisTens of thousands of documents have still not been published to the public by the MCC
Albino@Ryan spell it out for me .what? girls in the trunk what?!
Ryan
he went to school in the US if i recall
NS citizencould be EZpurple
Patrick Penneynone of the said experts gave an opinion on the events
NS citizenmore tech and centralization
NS citizenpictometry etc
NS citizen"prevent crime before it happens" more digital surveillance garbage
nikki lewisVery courageous of Tara
Cheryl ClarkeTara did amazing!!!
Anita ButtsI am so proud of Tara
NS citizengood speech by Tara, cellevrite RCMP tech
Mamacita 902Tara was absolutely amazing!!
NS citizencellebrite*
NS BluenoseTara was amazing....
EZBENDPURPLEwhy the silence about Tara until now?
EZBENDPURPLEodd
NS citizenMacdonald very authoritarian trying to tell Tara what was helpful or not
Chris HutchisonGod bless you family members! I can’t believe what you have had to deal with during this inquiry. Madness
Anita ButtsI heard the clapping
EZBENDPURPLEI wonder where the support was for Tara before?
David AmosGood question
NS BluenoseWhy two and half years later are you only asking about what Tara has to say? She started this fight on day one.
David AmosYup
EZBENDPURPLEAgree 100% NS Bluenose. Almost as though she wasn't supposed to be heard.
NS BluenoseEZ they were hoping she would just go away.... and be able to silence her with everything even with a lawyer
EZBENDPURPLENot sloppy policing
EZBENDPURPLENot at all. RCMP avoided Cobequid 100%
nikki lewisIt’s beyond tragic , rcmp
Patrick Penneywhy do.u think they avoided that area
nikki lewisFailed
NS Bluenoseno not all but those who were not involved but know what went on have to step up
David AmosTara Long was not impressed with Palango either Correct?
EZBENDPURPLE250 evacuation board in CIC. 730 ERT escort that drove by Cobequid
Sun Shinemanipulation
David AmosTrust that the Fat Lady ain't sung yet
nikki lewisHow can we have any meaningful recommendations when accountability has not been acknowledged by rcmp and the facts have not been uncovered/ published / coveredby the MCC
Albino@NS Bluenose they're all retired or promoted.
nikki lewiscovered up*
EZBENDPURPLEWhat MSM, alternative/podcasts have interviewed Tara Long at all throughout this whole tragedy?
Patrick Penneyrecomendation will be to get more tax money
AlbinoCovered up fairly efficiently too
EZBENDPURPLEI'd like to see more of her
NS BluenoseNikk the only things they can come up with would not stop anything they haven't found anything ... they avoided finding answers
Paul Palango and I will discuss the unfolding public inquiry into the Nova Scotia Mass Shootings. Advance questions and comments can be submitted by voice memo at nighttimepodcast.com/contact

Why is real estate practice the riskiest area of law?
By FCT
Real estate is once again the riskiest area of law to practice for the third year in a row, according to errors and omissions claims statistics. To look only at the last few years, it seems like real estate recently overtook litigation in terms of risk, but a longer view of the data tells a different story.
Real estate and litigation have formed the bulk of claims every year since LawPRO, the mandatory errors & omissions insurance provider in Ontario, started releasing annual reports in 1995. In over half of those years, claims from real estate practices were higher than litigation claims in number or cost, making up 34% of the total in 2021.
Litigation being a risky area of law makes intuitive sense, since it’s so adversarial. But from the claims data, real estate law seems even riskier. Why?
Real estate is a complex environment
Even the simplest real estate deals have multiple agents and moving parts, and many deals have complications or unique details to account for.
There is only a miniscule chance of an error or omission on the part of a vigilant legal professional working on any one component of a deal. But high volumes and complex transactions mean that there are more opportunities for the tiny chance of something going wrong.
Real estate errors and omissions are more expensive
Real estate transactions deal with hundreds of thousands, sometimes millions of dollars in value. Even a mistake that causes a small percentage error can result in a significant real loss. This has always been an element of risk in real estate practice, but it’s gotten worse over the last decade.
Property prices have risen starkly since 2012, and their growth has only accelerated in the past few years. Even as housing prices start to cool, the stakes of practicing real estate law are higher than they used to be.
What can you do to protect yourself?
Mandatory errors and omissions insurance is a great base level of protection, but can come with high costs, especially for real estate practices. Having to make a claim could result in your premium going up, and depending on the deductible, you may only get partially reimbursed for your loss.
That’s why at FCT, we offer legal services coverage for more protection on real estate deals. Our suite of errors and omissions products complements your mandatory E&O and includes E&O Extra®, E&O CompleteTM, and the Deal Protection Endorsement.
The E&O Extra® policy is applied to every purchase or refinance transaction we title insure at no extra cost, covering your mandatory E&O insurance’s premium increases and deductible in the event of a claim. All you need to do is register for the coverage.
For a low annual premium, you can also get E&O CompleteTM, which provides up to $10,000 in direct, hassle-free coverage—no need to wait for reimbursement. It’s perfect for dealing with small claims before they become big problems.
Adding the Deal Protection Endorsement to every residential purchase and refinance transaction insures your client directly for errors or omissions on your part that don’t fall under the protection of their title insurance policy (In B.C., it insures the lawyer or notary themselves).

Wednesday, 14 April 2021 Since 2004 I have proven many times to many people that the lawyers who fraudlently sold my wife's homes and sold Title Insurance on the evil deals should be prosecuted
What would this lawyer have done if she were to see her husband falsely imprisoned then thrown out of her home that she had paid the mortgage off on many years before byway of bullshit about unpaid rent owed to nobody then have legions of cops lawyers and politicians laugh about her family's plight for 16 years while she raised her children alone???

To: David Amos <motomaniac333@gmail.com> Good afternoon David Amos, The Civilian Review and Complaints Commission for the RCMP (the "Commission") is in receipt of your three emails of October 29, thank you. Your emails were thoroughly reviewed, but no information on a new public complaint against a member of the RCMP could be located. The only RCMP interaction about which you may have wanted to lodge a complaint which was identified, appears to have occurred in 2004, when RCMP members removed you from the New Brunswick legislature. Due to the time which has passed, and your several opportunities to bring this up with Commission staff in the past (and with staff from the Commission for Public Complaints against the RCMP, which the current Commission replaces), a public complaint will not be accepted regarding this incident. Should you have a complaint you would like to make regarding the conduct of an on-duty RCMP member, for an incident occurring within the last year, the Commission invites you to submit a complaint using our online complaint form at https://www.crcc-ccetp.gc.ca/en/make-complaint-form. Alternatively, you may contact our Intake Office at our toll-free number listed below. Your October 29th emails will be kept on file for information purposes only.

Judgment delivered at Ottawa, Ontario, on October 30, 2017. REASONS FOR JUDGMENT BY: THE COURT Date: 20171030 Docket: A-48-16 Citation: 2017 FCA 213 CORAM: WEBB J.A. NEAR J.A. GLEASON J.A. BETWEEN: DAVID RAYMOND AMOS Respondent on the cross-appeal (and formally Appellant) and HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN Appellant on the cross-appeal (and formerly Respondent) REASONS FOR JUDGMENT BY THE COURT I. Introduction [1] On September 16, 2015, David Raymond Amos (Mr. Amos) filed a 53-page Statement of Claim (the Claim) in Federal Court against Her Majesty the Queen (the Crown). Mr. Amos claims $11 million in damages and a public apology from the Prime Minister and Provincial Premiers for being illegally barred from accessing parliamentary properties and seeks a declaration from the Minister of Public Safety that the Canadian Government will no longer allow the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) and Canadian Forces to harass him and his clan (Claim at para. 96). [2] On November 12, 2015 (Docket T-1557-15), by way of a motion brought by the Crown, a prothonotary of the Federal Court (the Prothonotary) struck the Claim in its entirety, without leave to amend, on the basis that it was plain and obvious that the Claim disclosed no reasonable claim, the Claim was fundamentally vexatious, and the Claim could not be salvaged by way of further amendment (the Prothontary’s Order). [3] On January 25, 2016 (2016 FC 93), by way of Mr. Amos’ appeal from the Prothonotary’s Order, a judge of the Federal Court (the Judge), reviewing the matter de novo, struck all of Mr. Amos’ claims for relief with the exception of the claim for damages for being barred by the RCMP from the New Brunswick legislature in 2004 (the Federal Court Judgment). [4] Mr. Amos appealed and the Crown cross-appealed the Federal Court Judgment. Further to the issuance of a Notice of Status Review, Mr. Amos’ appeal was dismissed for delay on December 19, 2016. As such, the only matter before this Court is the Crown’s cross-appeal. II. Preliminary Matter [5] Mr. Amos, in his memorandum of fact and law in relation to the cross-appeal that was filed with this Court on March 6, 2017, indicated that several judges of this Court, including two of the judges of this panel, had a conflict of interest in this appeal. This was the first time that he identified the judges whom he believed had a conflict of interest in a document that was filed with this Court. In his notice of appeal he had alluded to a conflict with several judges but did not name those judges. [6] Mr. Amos was of the view that he did not have to identify the judges in any document filed with this Court because he had identified the judges in various documents that had been filed with the Federal Court. In his view the Federal Court and the Federal Court of Appeal are the same court and therefore any document filed in the Federal Court would be filed in this Court. This view is based on subsections 5(4) and 5.1(4) of the Federal Courts Act, R.S.C., 1985, c. F-7: 5(4) Every judge of the Federal Court is, by virtue of his or her office, a judge of the Federal Court of Appeal and has all the jurisdiction, power and authority of a judge of the Federal Court of Appeal. […] 5(4) Les juges de la Cour fédérale sont d’office juges de la Cour d’appel fédérale et ont la même compétence et les mêmes pouvoirs que les juges de la Cour d’appel fédérale. […] 5.1(4) Every judge of the Federal Court of Appeal is, by virtue of that office, a judge of the Federal Court and has all the jurisdiction, power and authority of a judge of the Federal Court. 5.1(4) Les juges de la Cour d’appel fédérale sont d’office juges de la Cour fédérale et ont la même compétence et les mêmes pouvoirs que les juges de la Cour fédérale. [7] However, these subsections only provide that the judges of the Federal Court are also judges of this Court (and vice versa). It does not mean that there is only one court. If the Federal Court and this Court were one Court, there would be no need for this section. [8] Sections 3 and 4 of the Federal Courts Act provide that: 3 The division of the Federal Court of Canada called the Federal Court — Appeal Division is continued under the name “Federal Court of Appeal” in English and “Cour d’appel fédérale” in French. It is continued as an additional court of law, equity and admiralty in and for Canada, for the better administration of the laws of Canada and as a superior court of record having civil and criminal jurisdiction. 3 La Section d’appel, aussi appelée la Cour d’appel ou la Cour d’appel fédérale, est maintenue et dénommée « Cour d’appel fédérale » en français et « Federal Court of Appeal » en anglais. Elle est maintenue à titre de tribunal additionnel de droit, d’equity et d’amirauté du Canada, propre à améliorer l’application du droit canadien, et continue d’être une cour supérieure d’archives ayant compétence en matière civile et pénale. 4 The division of the Federal Court of Canada called the Federal Court — Trial Division is continued under the name “Federal Court” in English and “Cour fédérale” in French. It is continued as an additional court of law, equity and admiralty in and for Canada, for the better administration of the laws of Canada and as a superior court of record having civil and criminal jurisdiction. 4 La section de la Cour fédérale du Canada, appelée la Section de première instance de la Cour fédérale, est maintenue et dénommée « Cour fédérale » en français et « Federal Court » en anglais. Elle est maintenue à titre de tribunal additionnel de droit, d’equity et d’amirauté du Canada, propre à améliorer l’application du droit canadien, et continue d’être une cour supérieure d’archives ayant compétence en matière civile et pénale. [9] Sections 3 and 4 of the Federal Courts Act create two separate courts – this Court (section 3) and the Federal Court (section 4). If, as Mr. Amos suggests, documents filed in the Federal Court were automatically also filed in this Court, then there would no need for the parties to prepare and file appeal books as required by Rules 343 to 345 of the Federal Courts Rules, SOR/98-106 in relation to any appeal from a decision of the Federal Court. The requirement to file an appeal book with this Court in relation to an appeal from a decision of the Federal Court makes it clear that the only documents that will be before this Court are the documents that are part of that appeal book. [10] Therefore, the memorandum of fact and law filed on March 6, 2017 is the first document, filed with this Court, in which Mr. Amos identified the particular judges that he submits have a conflict in any matter related to him. [11] On April 3, 2017, Mr. Amos attempted to bring a motion before the Federal Court seeking an order “affirming or denying the conflict of interest he has” with a number of judges of the Federal Court. A judge of the Federal Court issued a direction noting that if Mr. Amos was seeking this order in relation to judges of the Federal Court of Appeal, it was beyond the jurisdiction of the Federal Court. Mr. Amos raised the Federal Court motion at the hearing of this cross-appeal. The Federal Court motion is not a motion before this Court and, as such, the submissions filed before the Federal Court will not be entertained. As well, since this was a motion brought before the Federal Court (and not this Court), any documents filed in relation to that motion are not part of the record of this Court. [12] During the hearing of the appeal Mr. Amos alleged that the third member of this panel also had a conflict of interest and submitted some documents that, in his view, supported his claim of a conflict. Mr. Amos, following the hearing of his appeal, was also afforded the opportunity to provide a brief summary of the conflict that he was alleging and to file additional documents that, in his view, supported his allegations. Mr. Amos submitted several pages of documents in relation to the alleged conflicts. He organized the documents by submitting a copy of the biography of the particular judge and then, immediately following that biography, by including copies of the documents that, in his view, supported his claim that such judge had a conflict. [13] The nature of the alleged conflict of Justice Webb is that before he was appointed as a Judge of the Tax Court of Canada in 2006, he was a partner with the law firm Patterson Law, and before that with Patterson Palmer in Nova Scotia. Mr. Amos submitted that he had a number of disputes with Patterson Palmer and Patterson Law and therefore Justice Webb has a conflict simply because he was a partner of these firms. Mr. Amos is not alleging that Justice Webb was personally involved in or had any knowledge of any matter in which Mr. Amos was involved with Justice Webb’s former law firm – only that he was a member of such firm. [14] During his oral submissions at the hearing of his appeal Mr. Amos, in relation to the alleged conflict for Justice Webb, focused on dealings between himself and a particular lawyer at Patterson Law. However, none of the documents submitted by Mr. Amos at the hearing or subsequently related to any dealings with this particular lawyer nor is it clear when Mr. Amos was dealing with this lawyer. In particular, it is far from clear whether such dealings were after the time that Justice Webb was appointed as a Judge of the Tax Court of Canada over 10 years ago. [15] The documents that he submitted in relation to the alleged conflict for Justice Webb largely relate to dealings between Byron Prior and the St. John’s Newfoundland and Labrador office of Patterson Palmer, which is not in the same province where Justice Webb practiced law. The only document that indicates any dealing between Mr. Amos and Patterson Palmer is a copy of an affidavit of Stephen May who was a partner in the St. John’s NL office of Patterson Palmer. The affidavit is dated January 24, 2005 and refers to a number of e-mails that were sent by Mr. Amos to Stephen May. Mr. Amos also included a letter that is addressed to four individuals, one of whom is John Crosbie who was counsel to the St. John’s NL office of Patterson Palmer. The letter is dated September 2, 2004 and is addressed to “John Crosbie, c/o Greg G. Byrne, Suite 502, 570 Queen Street, Fredericton, NB E3B 5E3”. In this letter Mr. Amos alludes to a possible lawsuit against Patterson Palmer. [16] Mr. Amos’ position is that simply because Justice Webb was a lawyer with Patterson Palmer, he now has a conflict. In Wewaykum Indian Band v. Her Majesty the Queen, 2003 SCC 45, [2003] 2 S.C.R. 259, the Supreme Court of Canada noted that disqualification of a judge is to be determined based on whether there is a reasonable apprehension of bias: 60 In Canadian law, one standard has now emerged as the criterion for disqualification. The criterion, as expressed by de Grandpré J. in Committee for Justice and Liberty v. National Energy Board, …[[1978] 1 S.C.R. 369, 68 D.L.R. (3d) 716], at p. 394, is the reasonable apprehension of bias: … the apprehension of bias must be a reasonable one, held by reasonable and right minded persons, applying themselves to the question and obtaining thereon the required information. In the words of the Court of Appeal, that test is "what would an informed person, viewing the matter realistically and practically -- and having thought the matter through -- conclude. Would he think that it is more likely than not that [the decision-maker], whether consciously or unconsciously, would not decide fairly." [17] The issue to be determined is whether an informed person, viewing the matter realistically and practically, and having thought the matter through, would conclude that Mr. Amos’ allegations give rise to a reasonable apprehension of bias. As this Court has previously remarked, “there is a strong presumption that judges will administer justice impartially” and this presumption will not be rebutted in the absence of “convincing evidence” of bias (Collins v. Canada, 2011 FCA 140 at para. 7, [2011] 4 C.T.C. 157 [Collins]. See also R. v. S. (R.D.), [1997] 3 S.C.R. 484 at para. 32, 151 D.L.R. (4th) 193). [18] The Ontario Court of Appeal in Rando Drugs Ltd. v. Scott, 2007 ONCA 553, 86 O.R. (3d) 653 (leave to appeal to the Supreme Court of Canada refused, 32285 (August 1, 2007)), addressed the particular issue of whether a judge is disqualified from hearing a case simply because he had been a member of a law firm that was involved in the litigation that was now before that judge. The Ontario Court of Appeal determined that the judge was not disqualified if the judge had no involvement with the person or the matter when he was a lawyer. The Ontario Court of Appeal also explained that the rules for determining whether a judge is disqualified are different from the rules to determine whether a lawyer has a conflict: 27 Thus, disqualification is not the natural corollary to a finding that a trial judge has had some involvement in a case over which he or she is now presiding. Where the judge had no involvement, as here, it cannot be said that the judge is disqualified. 28 The point can rightly be made that had Mr. Patterson been asked to represent the appellant as counsel before his appointment to the bench, the conflict rules would likely have prevented him from taking the case because his firm had formerly represented one of the defendants in the case. Thus, it is argued how is it that as a trial judge Patterson J. can hear the case? This issue was considered by the Court of Appeal (Civil Division) in Locabail (U.K.) Ltd. v. Bayfield Properties Ltd., [2000] Q.B. 451. The court held, at para. 58, that there is no inflexible rule governing the disqualification of a judge and that, "[e]verything depends on the circumstances." 29 It seems to me that what appears at first sight to be an inconsistency in application of rules can be explained by the different contexts and in particular, the strong presumption of judicial impartiality that applies in the context of disqualification of a judge. There is no such presumption in cases of allegations of conflict of interest against a lawyer because of a firm's previous involvement in the case. To the contrary, as explained by Sopinka J. in MacDonald Estate v. Martin (1990), 77 D.L.R. (4th) 249 (S.C.C.), for sound policy reasons there is a presumption of a disqualifying interest that can rarely be overcome. In particular, a conclusory statement from the lawyer that he or she had no confidential information about the case will never be sufficient. The case is the opposite where the allegation of bias is made against a trial judge. His or her statement that he or she knew nothing about the case and had no involvement in it will ordinarily be accepted at face value unless there is good reason to doubt it: see Locabail, at para. 19. 30 That brings me then to consider the particular circumstances of this case and whether there are serious grounds to find a disqualifying conflict of interest in this case. In my view, there are two significant factors that justify the trial judge's decision not to recuse himself. The first is his statement, which all parties accept, that he knew nothing of the case when it was in his former firm and that he had nothing to do with it. The second is the long passage of time. As was said in Wewaykum, at para. 85: To us, one significant factor stands out, and must inform the perspective of the reasonable person assessing the impact of this involvement on Binnie J.'s impartiality in the appeals. That factor is the passage of time. Most arguments for disqualification rest on circumstances that are either contemporaneous to the decision-making, or that occurred within a short time prior to the decision-making. 31 There are other factors that inform the issue. The Wilson Walker firm no longer acted for any of the parties by the time of trial. More importantly, at the time of the motion, Patterson J. had been a judge for six years and thus had not had a relationship with his former firm for a considerable period of time. 32 In my view, a reasonable person, viewing the matter realistically would conclude that the trial judge could deal fairly and impartially with this case. I take this view principally because of the long passage of time and the trial judge's lack of involvement in or knowledge of the case when the Wilson Walker firm had carriage. In these circumstances it cannot be reasonably contended that the trial judge could not remain impartial in the case. The mere fact that his name appears on the letterhead of some correspondence from over a decade ago would not lead a reasonable person to believe that he would either consciously or unconsciously favour his former firm's former client. It is simply not realistic to think that a judge would throw off his mantle of impartiality, ignore his oath of office and favour a client - about whom he knew nothing - of a firm that he left six years earlier and that no longer acts for the client, in a case involving events from over a decade ago. (emphasis added) [19] Justice Webb had no involvement with any matter involving Mr. Amos while he was a member of Patterson Palmer or Patterson Law, nor does Mr. Amos suggest that he did. Mr. Amos made it clear during the hearing of this matter that the only reason for the alleged conflict for Justice Webb was that he was a member of Patterson Law and Patterson Palmer. This is simply not enough for Justice Webb to be disqualified. Any involvement of Mr. Amos with Patterson Law while Justice Webb was a member of that firm would have had to occur over 10 years ago and even longer for the time when he was a member of Patterson Palmer. In addition to the lack of any involvement on his part with any matter or dispute that Mr. Amos had with Patterson Law or Patterson Palmer (which in and of itself is sufficient to dispose of this matter), the length of time since Justice Webb was a member of Patterson Law or Patterson Palmer would also result in the same finding – that there is no conflict in Justice Webb hearing this appeal. [20] Similarly in R. v. Bagot, 2000 MBCA 30, 145 Man. R. (2d) 260, the Manitoba Court of Appeal found that there was no reasonable apprehension of bias when a judge, who had been a member of the law firm that had been retained by the accused, had no involvement with the accused while he was a lawyer with that firm. [21] In Del Zotto v. Minister of National Revenue, [2000] 4 F.C. 321, 257 N.R. 96, this court did find that there would be a reasonable apprehension of bias where a judge, who while he was a lawyer, had recorded time on a matter involving the same person who was before that judge. However, this case can be distinguished as Justice Webb did not have any time recorded on any files involving Mr. Amos while he was a lawyer with Patterson Palmer or Patterson Law. [22] Mr. Amos also included with his submissions a CD. He stated in his affidavit dated June 26, 2017 that there is a “true copy of an American police surveillance wiretap entitled 139” on this CD. He has also indicated that he has “provided a true copy of the CD entitled 139 to many American and Canadian law enforcement authorities and not one of the police forces or officers of the court are willing to investigate it”. Since he has indicated that this is an “American police surveillance wiretap”, this is a matter for the American law enforcement authorities and cannot create, as Mr. Amos suggests, a conflict of interest for any judge to whom he provides a copy. [23] As a result, there is no conflict or reasonable apprehension of bias for Justice Webb and therefore, no reason for him to recuse himself. [24] Mr. Amos alleged that Justice Near’s past professional experience with the government created a “quasi-conflict” in deciding the cross-appeal. Mr. Amos provided no details and Justice Near confirmed that he had no prior knowledge of the matters alleged in the Claim. Justice Near sees no reason to recuse himself. [25] Insofar as it is possible to glean the basis for Mr. Amos’ allegations against Justice Gleason, it appears that he alleges that she is incapable of hearing this appeal because he says he wrote a letter to Brian Mulroney and Jean Chrétien in 2004. At that time, both Justice Gleason and Mr. Mulroney were partners in the law firm Ogilvy Renault, LLP. The letter in question, which is rude and angry, begins with “Hey you two Evil Old Smiling Bastards” and “Re: me suing you and your little dogs too”. There is no indication that the letter was ever responded to or that a law suit was ever commenced by Mr. Amos against Mr. Mulroney. In the circumstances, there is no reason for Justice Gleason to recuse herself as the letter in question does not give rise to a reasonable apprehension of bias. III. Issue [26] The issue on the cross-appeal is as follows: Did the Judge err in setting aside the Prothonotary’s Order striking the Claim in its entirety without leave to amend and in determining that Mr. Amos’ allegation that the RCMP barred him from the New Brunswick legislature in 2004 was capable of supporting a cause of action? IV. Analysis A. Standard of Review [27] Following the Judge’s decision to set aside the Prothonotary’s Order, this Court revisited the standard of review to be applied to discretionary decisions of prothonotaries and decisions made by judges on appeals of prothonotaries’ decisions in Hospira Healthcare Corp. v. Kennedy Institute of Rheumatology, 2016 FCA 215, 402 D.L.R. (4th) 497 [Hospira]. In Hospira, a five-member panel of this Court replaced the Aqua-Gem standard of review with that articulated in Housen v. Nikolaisen, 2002 SCC 33, [2002] 2 S.C.R. 235 [Housen]. As a result, it is no longer appropriate for the Federal Court to conduct a de novo review of a discretionary order made by a prothonotary in regard to questions vital to the final issue of the case. Rather, a Federal Court judge can only intervene on appeal if the prothonotary made an error of law or a palpable and overriding error in determining a question of fact or question of mixed fact and law (Hospira at para. 79). Further, this Court can only interfere with a Federal Court judge’s review of a prothonotary’s discretionary order if the judge made an error of law or palpable and overriding error in determining a question of fact or question of mixed fact and law (Hospira at paras. 82-83). [28] In the case at bar, the Judge substituted his own assessment of Mr. Amos’ Claim for that of the Prothonotary. This Court must look to the Prothonotary’s Order to determine whether the Judge erred in law or made a palpable and overriding error in choosing to interfere. B. Did the Judge err in interfering with the Prothonotary’s Order? [29] The Prothontoary’s Order accepted the following paragraphs from the Crown’s submissions as the basis for striking the Claim in its entirety without leave to amend: 17. Within the 96 paragraph Statement of Claim, the Plaintiff addresses his complaint in paragraphs 14-24, inclusive. All but four of those paragraphs are dedicated to an incident that occurred in 2006 in and around the legislature in New Brunswick. The jurisdiction of the Federal Court does not extend to Her Majesty the Queen in right of the Provinces. In any event, the Plaintiff hasn’t named the Province or provincial actors as parties to this action. The incident alleged does not give rise to a justiciable cause of action in this Court. (…) 21. The few paragraphs that directly address the Defendant provide no details as to the individuals involved or the location of the alleged incidents or other details sufficient to allow the Defendant to respond. As a result, it is difficult or impossible to determine the causes of action the Plaintiff is attempting to advance. A generous reading of the Statement of Claim allows the Defendant to only speculate as to the true and/or intended cause of action. At best, the Plaintiff’s action may possibly be summarized as: he suspects he is barred from the House of Commons. [footnotes omitted]. [30] The Judge determined that he could not strike the Claim on the same jurisdictional basis as the Prothonotary. The Judge noted that the Federal Court has jurisdiction over claims based on the liability of Federal Crown servants like the RCMP and that the actors who barred Mr. Amos from the New Brunswick legislature in 2004 included the RCMP (Federal Court Judgment at para. 23). In considering the viability of these allegations de novo, the Judge identified paragraph 14 of the Claim as containing “some precision” as it identifies the date of the event and a RCMP officer acting as Aide-de-Camp to the Lieutenant Governor (Federal Court Judgment at para. 27). [31] The Judge noted that the 2004 event could support a cause of action in the tort of misfeasance in public office and identified the elements of the tort as excerpted from Meigs v. Canada, 2013 FC 389, 431 F.T.R. 111: [13] As in both the cases of Odhavji Estate v Woodhouse, 2003 SCC 69 [Odhavji] and Lewis v Canada, 2012 FC 1514 [Lewis], I must determine whether the plaintiffs’ statement of claim pleads each element of the alleged tort of misfeasance in public office: a) The public officer must have engaged in deliberate and unlawful conduct in his or her capacity as public officer; b) The public officer must have been aware both that his or her conduct was unlawful and that it was likely to harm the plaintiff; and c) There must be an element of bad faith or dishonesty by the public officer and knowledge of harm alone is insufficient to conclude that a public officer acted in bad faith or dishonestly. Odhavji, above, at paras 23, 24 and 28 (Federal Court Judgment at para. 28). [32] The Judge determined that Mr. Amos disclosed sufficient material facts to meet the elements of the tort of misfeasance in public office because the actors, who barred him from the New Brunswick legislature in 2004, including the RCMP, did so for “political reasons” (Federal Court Judgment at para. 29). [33] This Court’s discussion of the sufficiency of pleadings in Merchant Law Group v. Canada (Revenue Agency), 2010 FCA 184, 321 D.L.R (4th) 301 is particularly apt: …When pleading bad faith or abuse of power, it is not enough to assert, baldly, conclusory phrases such as “deliberately or negligently,” “callous disregard,” or “by fraud and theft did steal”. “The bare assertion of a conclusion upon which the court is called upon to pronounce is not an allegation of material fact”. Making bald, conclusory allegations without any evidentiary foundation is an abuse of process… To this, I would add that the tort of misfeasance in public office requires a particular state of mind of a public officer in carrying out the impunged action, i.e., deliberate conduct which the public officer knows to be inconsistent with the obligations of his or her office. For this tort, particularization of the allegations is mandatory. Rule 181 specifically requires particularization of allegations of “breach of trust,” “wilful default,” “state of mind of a person,” “malice” or “fraudulent intention.” (at paras. 34-35, citations omitted). [34] Applying the Housen standard of review to the Prothonotary’s Order, we are of the view that the Judge interfered absent a legal or palpable and overriding error. [35] The Prothonotary determined that Mr. Amos’ Claim disclosed no reasonable claim and was fundamentally vexatious on the basis of jurisdictional concerns and the absence of material facts to ground a cause of action. Paragraph 14 of the Claim, which addresses the 2004 event, pleads no material facts as to how the RCMP officer engaged in deliberate and unlawful conduct, knew that his or her conduct was unlawful and likely to harm Mr. Amos, and acted in bad faith. While the Claim alleges elsewhere that Mr. Amos was barred from the New Brunswick legislature for political and/or malicious reasons, these allegations are not particularized and are directed against non-federal actors, such as the Sergeant-at-Arms of the Legislative Assembly of New Brunswick and the Fredericton Police Force. As such, the Judge erred in determining that Mr. Amos’ allegation that the RCMP barred him from the New Brunswick legislature in 2004 was capable of supporting a cause of action. [36] In our view, the Claim is made up entirely of bare allegations, devoid of any detail, such that it discloses no reasonable cause of action within the jurisdiction of the Federal Courts. Therefore, the Judge erred in interfering to set aside the Prothonotary’s Order striking the claim in its entirety. Further, we find that the Prothonotary made no error in denying leave to amend. The deficiencies in Mr. Amos’ pleadings are so extensive such that amendment could not cure them (see Collins at para. 26). V. Conclusion [37] For the foregoing reasons, we would allow the Crown’s cross-appeal, with costs, setting aside the Federal Court Judgment, dated January 25, 2016 and restoring the Prothonotary’s Order, dated November 12, 2015, which struck Mr. Amos’ Claim in its entirety without leave to amend.

Glen Canning: Psychopath Welcome To The New Home Of The Baconfat Papers Tuesday, 24 October 2017 Welcome To The New Home Of The Baconfat Papers Welcome to The Baconfat Legacy - started in tribute to Mr. Barry Winters: a controversial blogger, opinionated troll and Edmonton resident, who sadly passed away. Before his passing, his blog was the subject of hate crime charges due to the offensive politically incorrect nature of Barry's writing. I will continue this blog in that tradition. You are going to read words like "faggot,""nigger," "kike,""spick,""nip,""bitch,""cunt,""whore,""slut,""wop," "midget," and anything else that just happens to pop into my head, because like Barry I'm an equal opportunity offender. And if you don't like the aggressive, in your face, deliberately offensive nature of this blog well you can suck my fucking dick. Go tell David Amos and Glen Canning to go fuck themselves too. Alert your local authorities and go bitch to your friends in the government, because the Baconfat is back baby. And in the interest of free speech I hope you fuckers try to shut me down, because I will fight you. If you don't like this blog, then don't read it. Go read the fucking Babysitter's Club for all I care. But any bullshit trumped up charges you throw at me will make my day. Because the day we start locking people up for talking shit in a fucking blog, is the day that fascism rules. C'yall in court, motherfuckers.

Wheeler Trudy Wobeser http://davidraymondamos3.blogspot.ca/2015/09/v-behaviorurldefaultvmlo.html Friday, 18 September 2015 David Raymond Amos Versus The Crown T-1557-15 Court File No. T-1557-15 FEDERAL COURT BETWEEN: DAVID RAYMOND AMOS Plaintiff and HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN Defendant STATEMENT OF CLAIM 72. The Plaintiff states that in early 2006 Saga Books of Calgary, Alberta published a book about Byron Prior and the MP whom the Plaintiff ran against in 2004 and hopefully again in 2014 had researched Byron Prior’s matters. His report to the Minister of Justice in late 2006 has not been made public. More importantly the lawyer who has been the MP representing Fundy Royal for the past eleven years and that the former Minister of Public Safety acknowledged an email from the Plaintiff about Byron Prior that contained the entire text of his website before the writ was dropped for the election of the 38th Parliament. The aforesaid email exchange has been published in the Internet for eleven years. Everything on the Internet published by Byron Prior beginning in 2002 has been removed. The last comments of Byron Prior that the Plaintiff could find published on the Internet was within a few videos a “Freeman” character named Max published within the YouTube domain. It was an interview of Byron Prior as he was protesting on the grounds of the House of Commons the day after the Prime Minister was found in “Contempt of Parliament” and his most contemptuous minority mandate became a matter of history. His majority mandate is history and the Plaintiff seeks relief. 73. The Plaintiff states that he did see a comment posted in a public Facebook of one of Byron Prior’s many associates in British Colombia claiming that Byron Prior had been arrested in Ottawa in 2012 as had several other of his associates across Canada for various reasons during 2012. The whereabouts of Byron Prior are not known to the Plaintiff but he does know that Charles Leblanc lives one block up the same street as the Federal Court in Fredericton is located. Leblanc is being prosecuted by the Crown and suing the FPF at the same time. It is unlikely he would move far from the city soon. If the Crown wishes to argue this complaint Byron Prior and Charles Leblanc should be summoned to testify about what they know of this matter and of their being illegally barred from parliament properties as well. Failing that the Plaintiff has collected a large amount of documentation including documents, videos and webpages etc. He can provide byway of digital media much evidence for the Crown to review about the concerns of Byron Prior and Charles Leblanc and their association with the Plaintiff and many others. 74. The Plaintiff states that in June of 2009 while Byron Prior was before the court a supporter of his, Robin Reid informed the Plaintiff that she was barred from the legislative properties of Alberta and while visiting a constituency office of a MP she had been arrested by the RCMP and assaulted in a locked cell of a hospital in the St Albert area of Alberta. Her arrest was after her visits to the constituency offices of the Prime Minister and an Edmonton MLA. Ms. Reid forwarded her emails to and from the Prime Minister’s office, the RCMP, a former Premier and the office of the Sergeant-at-Arms and asked the Plaintiff to support her. The Plaintiff introduced himself to all the aforementioned parties in order to assist Robin Reid and they were ignored for years. In 2012 the Plaintiff discovered he could no longer assist Ms. Reid because she agreed with the actions of Neo Nazis who supported Byron Prior and Werner Bock. The RCMP and many other law enforcement authorities in Canada and the USA are well aware of the reasons why the Plaintiff is not associated with such people in any fashion other than to attack them with his written words. Neo Nazis are not worthy of further mention in this complaint against the Crown but their Zionist foe, Barry Winters is. 75. The Plaintiff states that the RCMP is well aware of the libel, sexual harassment, and death threats practiced against his family that have been published on the Internet since 2005 by fans (Trolls) who supported Byron Prior. Four Trolls who live in Alberta are Barry Winters, Dean Roger Ray, Eddy Achtem and Patrick Doran They have many “Anonymous” cohorts throughout Canada, the USA and the United Kingdom. The actions of these Trolls created an important example of cyberbullying. Law enforcement officials have ignored these Trolls because of the Plaintiff’s standing as a whistleblower exposing corruption within the justice system. The Plaintiff is aware that several people complained about their actions over the years. In fact the mother of Dean Roger Ray recently her indignation in Barry Winter’s blog. Complaints about Barry Winters can be seen on the Internet by Glen Canning and Professor Kris Wells, two politically well-connected people who complain of cyberbullying often. Proof the Edmonton Police Force (EPS), RCMP, FBI and police in the UK have been ignoring the Plaintiff’s complaints about these Trolls can also viewed on the Internet. The Plaintiff fought fire with fire but did so in a legal fashion and kept the police fully informed of his actions. The Plaintiff was successful in causing numerous egregious videos and several blogs to be taken down after doing his best to find out who the “Anonymous” people were and reporting them. He saved all the blogs and videos published about his family before the malice was removed from public view. Three Trolls who continue to attack his family and others are Dean Roger Ray, Barry Winters and one government employee. A member of the legal dept. of Edmonton tried to claim that the Plaintiff was Barry Winters then complained to the EPS about the Plaintiff’s questions about her incompetence. Professor Kris Wells, who was associated with the Police Commission of Edmonton and Glen Canning, who lost his daughter to cyberbullying, said nothing. They were content that the Plaintiff managed to convince Google’s lawyers to remove one of Barry Winters’s blogs on October 23, 2014 and say nothing about his blog within WordPress that the Troll uses to continue his libel of them and their friends. Instead Glen Canning slandered the Plaintiff within Twitter after Kris Wells sent the Plaintiff an email stating his lawyer had advised him to ignore Barry Winters and his blogs. 76. The Plaintiff states that since the fall of 2014 he has given up on the notion that any police officer or Glen Canning and Professor Kris Wells would ever act with any semblance of integrity. All their actions appear to be for the purposes of self-promotion and personal gain. Canning and Wells received the same emails that were sent to politicians and law enforcement authorities and only Barry Winters responded to all and disputed the Plaintiff’s words. The EPS in June of 2015 informed the Plaintiff that they intend to prosecute Barry Winters for sending “False Messages” instead of prosecuting for his published malice under Sections 300 and 319 of the Criminal Code. That fact must be true because since June the Plaintiff has not received any emails from Barry Winters and within his blog he has slandered the EPS and often mentions the topic of “False Messages”. In the meantime Canning and Wells ignore the Plaintiff’s common concerns while continuing to profess of their abundant knowledge of bullying to university students and anyone else who will listen to them particularly members of the corporate media. The Plaintiff saves every word of Canning and Wells that they cause to be published on the topic cyberbullying and plans to file them as his exhibits to support a lawsuit to seek relief from the cyberbullying of his Clan. He considers the blogs of Barry Winters and the videos of his associates that remain published on the Internet to be important evidence of cyberbullying that the Crown will be arguing within a provincial court of his choice after the election of the 42nd Parliament. Therefore other than remind the Crown and others that he is recording the work of the Trolls, he has not reported their malice to Google and WordPress anymore because the RCMP should have done so long ago. 77. The Plaintiff states that in June of 2015 when a member of the EPS called him four times with an anonymous telephone number asking him to stop emailing public officials about Barry Winters’s blog and to file a formal complaint. The Plaintiff was offended by the anonymous talk of “False Messages”. He refused and stated that if the questionable public officials found his emails quoting the blog of Barry Winters upsetting then the EPS and the RCMP should uphold the law and do something about it in order to protect their reputations. 78. The Plaintiff states that until the EPS member clearly identified himself with his badge number in the fourth phone call and sent a follow up email to back up his words, the Plaintiff could not know for certain that a Troll or the EPS had been calling him. The Plaintiff has a record of two fraudulent calls to him during the same period of time, one using an RCMP phone number and the other used the phone number of Dana Durnford, a well-known Troll and friend of Byron Prior. The Plaintiff returned the calls. Dana Durnford in a predictable fashion denied knowing him and hung up but the Plaintiff did discuss the malice of Trolls with an ethical member of the RCMP. The RCMP and the FBI know that anyone can access several websites based in the USA and engage their free services to harass people with. The RCMP know that some programs allow cyberbullies to pretend to be anyone by having their telephone numbers (including that of the RCMP or the EPS) appear on their victims’ phone display. The Crown knows commercial programs assist in political deceit. Recently, it sent a former assistant of the MP the Plaintiff ran against Fundy-Royal in 2004 to jail because of robo calls. 79. The Plaintiff states that he has clearly explained his intentions to sue the EPS and the RCMP many times because they have been ignoring his complaints for eight years. It was obvious to him what the EPS was trying to do with him in June was trick. The RCMP has been trying to pull the same trick on the Plaintiff since 2003. The Crown knows that if the EPS managed to secure a complaint with the Plaintiff’s signature then it would delay his lawsuit because the EPS could claim that his complaint under investigation and that the EPS could say nothing about it until the matter had concluded. The Plaintiff informed the EPS that anyone could use an anonymous phone number and claim to be anyone if it wished to talk then it should do so from an identifiable telephone line or put it in writing just like he does. In fact the Plaintiff’s family have been getting anonymous calls for many years and the police claimed they could do nothing because the malicious calls came through the Internet. The RCMP would have acted ethically if the families of public officials were subject to the harassment his Clan has suffered instead of assisting in the illegal barring from the parliamentary properties of Canada. 80. The Plaintiff states that the subject of the Crown and Internet harassment became incredibly worse in 2007 long before the demise of two Canadian teenagers caused new cyber laws to be created and promptly ignored. In 2008 while the Plaintiff’s family and friends were being much harassed within many YouTube Channels by Trolls, the RCMP in NB created a YouTube channel of its own to use as tool to catch a local arsonist. As soon as the Plaintiff made a comment about eleven incidents of arson on his friend’s farm in the same area the Plaintiff and his friend were attacked by many Troll’s within the Crown’s domain within YouTube and the RCMP only laughed at the obvious malice that they were publishing for a year without attempting to moderate the comments. In early 2009 the comments within the RCMP YouTube channel change greatly with the arrest and imprisonment of members of the Tingley family pertaining to charges of “Organized Crime”. The libel continued until Werner Bock printed all the comments within the RCMP YouTube channel and delivered hard copy of it in hand to a local office of the RCMP. Once the Plaintiff had a conversation with a member of the RCMP in Moncton NB who was investigating Bock’s complaint, the RCMP took down their video with all the comments and said nothing further about it. The Plaintiff did manage to save most of the comments digitally before they were deleted by the Trolls and the RCMP. Years later the Crown stayed the “Organized Crime” charges against the Tingleys and a publication ban was placed on their concerns about malicious prosecution. The matter was put before the Supreme Court of Canada Rodney Tingley, et al. v. Her Majesty the Queen SCC Docket no. 34107 and the Plaintiff had no idea of any outcome. However in late 2014 he did speak with some of the Tingleys and they admitted to knowing about him and his common concerns with the RCMP. One Tingley stated that their lawyers have advised them not to speak to him because of the publication ban. The same holds true with his former friend Werner Bock and Hank Temper another German who moved to NB to farm. They had trouble with the RCMP acting against them. A search on the Internet with their names and the Plaintiff’s easily proves his assistance but they will never acknowledge it as they attack the Crown, Bock byway of social media and Tepper byway of lawsuit. 81. The Plaintiff states that matters of harassment that the police refuse to investigate would have entered the realm of ridiculous in 2012 if the reasons behind the suicides of teenagers did not become well known by the corporate media. In the summer of 2012 a new member of the FPS who as a former member of the EPS had inspired a lawsuit for beating a client in Edmonton called the Plaintiff and accused him of something he could not do even if he wanted to while he was arguing many lawyers byway of emails about a matter concerning cyber stalking that was before the SCC. The member of the FPF accused the Plaintiff of calling the boss of Bullying Canada thirty times. At that time his MagicJack account had been hacked and although he could receive incoming calls, the Plaintiff could not call out to anyone. The Plaintiff freely sent the FPF his telephone logs sourced from MagicJack after his account restored without the Crown having to issue a warrant to see his telephone records. He asked the FPF and the RCMP where did the records of his phone calls to and from the FPF and the RCMP go if his account had not been hacked. The police never responded. Years later a Troll sent Dean Roger Ray a message through YouTube providing info about the Plaintiff’s MagicJack account with the correct password. Dean Roger Ray promptly posted two videos in YouTube clearly displaying the blatant violation of privacy likely to protect himself from the crime. The Plaintiff quickly pointed out the videos to the RCMP and they refused to investigate as usual. At about the same point in time the Plaintiff noticed that the CBC had published a record of a access to information requests. On the list of requests he saw his name along with several employees of CBC and the boss of Bullying Canada. The Plaintiff called the CBC to make inquiries about what he saw published on the Internet. CBC told him it was none of his business and advised him if he thought his rights had been offended to file a complaint. It appears the Plaintiff that employees of CBC like other questionable Crown Corporations such as the RCMP rely on their attorneys far too much to defend them from litigation they invite from citizens they purportedly serve. The employees of CBC named within the aforementioned and the CBC Legal Dept. are very familiar with the Plaintiff and of the Crown barring him from legislative properties while he running for public office. 82. The Plaintiff states that any politician or police officer should have seen enough of Barry Winter’s WordPress blog by June 22, 2015 particularly after the very unnecessary demise of two men in Alberta because of the incompetence of the EPS. Barry Winters was blogging about the EPS using battering ram in order to execute a warrant for a 250 dollar bylaw offence at the same time Professor Kris Wells revealed in a televised interview that the EPS member who was killed was the one investigating the cyber harassment of him. It was obvious why the police and politicians ignored all the death threats, sexual harassment, cyberbullying and hate speech of a proud Zionist who claimed to be a former CF officer who now working for the Department of National Defence (DND). It is well known that no politician in Canada is allowed to sit in Parliament as a member of the major parties unless they support Israel. Since 2002 the Plaintiff made it well known that he does not support Israeli actions and was against the American plan to make war on Iraq. On Aril 1, 2003 within two weeks of the beginning of the War on Iraq, the US Secret Service threatened to practice extraordinary rendition because false allegations of a Presidential threat were made against him by an American court. However, the Americans and the Crown cannot deny that what he said in two courts on April 1, 2003 because he published the recordings of what was truly said as soon as he got the court tapes. The RCMP knows those words can still be heard on the Internet today. In 2009, the Plaintiff began to complain of Barry Winters about something far more important to Canada as nation because of Winters’ bragging of being one of 24 CF officers who assisted the Americans in the planning the War on Iraq in 2002. In the Plaintiff’s humble opinion the mandate of the DND is Defence not Attack. He is not so naive to think that such plans of war do not occur but if Barry Winters was in fact one of the CF officers who did so then he broke his oath to the Crown the instant he bragged of it in his blog. If Winters was never an officer in the CF then he broke the law by impersonating an officer. The Plaintiff downloaded the emails of the Privy Council about Wikileaks. The bragging of Barry Winters should have been investigated in 2009 before CBC reported that documents released by WikiLeaks supported his information about Canadian involvement in the War on Iraq. 83. The Plaintiff states that now that Canada is involved in more war in Iraq again it did not serve Canadian interests and reputation to allow Barry Winters to publish the following words three times over five years after he began his bragging: January 13, 2015 This Is Just AS Relevant Now As When I wrote It During The Debate December 8, 2014 Why Canada Stood Tall! Friday, October 3, 2014 Little David Amos’ “True History Of War” Canadian Airstrikes And Stupid Justin Trudeau 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 involved in the initial planning phases of that operation. There were significant concern in our planning cell, and NDHQ about of the dearth of concern for operational guidance, direction, and forces for operations after the initial occupation of Iraq. At the “last minute” Prime Minister Chretien and the Liberal government changed its mind. The Canadian government told our amerkan cousins that we would not deploy combat troops for the Iraq campaign, but would deploy a Canadian Battle Group to Afghanistan, enabling our amerkan cousins to redeploy troops from there to Iraq. The PMO’s thinking that it was less costly to deploy Canadian Forces to Afghanistan than Iraq. But alas no one seems to remind the Liberals of Prime Minister Chretien’s then grossly incorrect assumption. Notwithstanding Jean Chretien’s incompetence and stupidity, the Canadian Army was heroic, professional, punched well above it’s weight, and the PPCLI Battle Group, is credited with “saving Afghanistan” during the Panjway campaign of 2006. What Justin Trudeau and the Liberals don’t tell you now, is that then Liberal Prime Minister Jean Chretien committed, and deployed the Canadian army to Canada’s longest “war” without the advice, consent, support, or vote of the Canadian Parliament. What David Amos and the rest of the ignorant, uneducated, and babbling chattering classes are too addled to understand is the deployment of less than 75 special operations troops, and what is known by planners as a “six pac cell” of fighter aircraft is NOT the same as a deployment of a Battle Group, nor a “war” make. The Canadian Government or The Crown unlike our amerkan cousins have the “constitutional authority” to commit the Canadian nation to war. That has been recently clearly articulated to the Canadian public by constitutional scholar Phillippe Legasse. What Parliament can do is remove “confidence” in The Crown’s Government in a “vote of non-confidence.” That could not happen to the Chretien Government regarding deployment to Afghanistan, and it won’t happen in this instance with the conservative majority in The Commons regarding a limited Canadian deployment to the Middle East. President George Bush was quite correct after 911 and the terror attacks in New York; that the Taliban “occupied” and “failed state” Afghanistan was the source of logistical support, command and control, and training for the Al Quaeda war of terror against the world. The initial defeat, and removal from control of Afghanistan was vital and essential for the security and tranquility of the developed world. An ISIS “caliphate,” in the Middle East, no matter how small, is a clear and present danger to the entire world. This “occupied state,” or“failed state” will prosecute an unending Islamic inspired war of terror against not only the “western world,” but Arab states “moderate” or not, as well. The security, safety, and tranquility of Canada and Canadians are just at risk now with the emergence of an ISIS“caliphate” no matter how large or small, as it was with the Taliban and Al Quaeda “marriage” in Afghanistan. One of the everlasting “legacies” of the “Trudeau the Elder’s dynasty was Canada and successive Liberal governments cowering behind the amerkan’s nuclear and conventional military shield, at the same time denigrating, insulting them, opposing them, and at the same time self-aggrandizing ourselves as “peace keepers,” and progenitors of “world peace.” Canada failed. The United States of Amerka, NATO, the G7 and or G20 will no longer permit that sort of sanctimonious behavior from Canada or its government any longer. And Prime Minister Stephen Harper, Foreign Minister John Baird , and Cabinet are fully cognizant of that reality. Even if some editorial boards, and pundits are not. Justin, Trudeau “the younger” is reprising the time “honoured” liberal mantra, and tradition of expecting the amerkans or the rest of the world to do “the heavy lifting.” Justin Trudeau and his “butt buddy” David Amos are telling Canadians that we can guarantee our security and safety by expecting other nations to fight for us. That Canada can and should attempt to guarantee Canadians safety by providing “humanitarian aid” somewhere, and call a sitting US president a “war criminal.” This morning Australia announced they too, were sending tactical aircraft to eliminate the menace of an ISIS “caliphate.” In one sense Prime Minister Harper is every bit the scoundrel Trudeau “the elder” and Jean ‘the crook” Chretien was. Just As Trudeau, and successive Liberal governments delighted in diminishing, marginalizing, under funding Canadian Forces, and sending Canadian military men and women to die with inadequate kit and modern equipment; so too is Prime Minister Stephen Harper. Canada’s F-18s are antiquated, poorly equipped, and ought to have been replaced five years ago. But alas, there won’t be single RCAF fighter jock that won’t go, or won’t want to go, to make Canada safe or safer. My Grandfather served this country. My father served this country. My Uncle served this country. And I have served this country. Justin Trudeau has not served Canada in any way. Thomas Mulcair has not served this country in any way. Liberals and so called social democrats haven’t served this country in any way. David Amos, and other drooling fools have not served this great nation in any way. Yet these fools are more than prepared to ensure their, our safety to other nations, and then criticize them for doing so. Canada must again, now, “do our bit” to guarantee our own security, and tranquility, but also that of the world. Canada has never before shirked its responsibility to its citizens and that of the world. Prime Minister Harper will not permit this country to do so now From: dnd_mdn@forces.gc.ca Date: Fri, 27 May 2011 14:17:17 -0400 Subject: RE: Re Greg Weston, The CBC , Wikileaks, USSOCOM, Canada and the War in Iraq (I just called SOCOM and let them know I was still alive To: david.raymond.amos@gmail.com This is to confirm that the Minister of National Defence has received your email and it will be reviewed in due course.

For instance, he says, even McCallum initially didn't know those soldiers were helping to plan the invasion of Iraq up to the highest levels of command, including a Canadian general. That general is Walt Natynczyk, now Canada's chief of defence staff, who eight months after the invasion became deputy commander of 35,000 U.S. soldiers and other allied forces in Iraq. Lang says Natynczyk was also part of the team of mainly senior U.S. military brass that helped prepare for the invasion from a mobile command in Kuwait." http://baconfat53.blogspot.com/2010/06/canada-and-united-states.html "I remember years ago when the debate was on in Canada, about there being weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. Our American 'friends" demanded that Canada join into "the Coalition of the Willing. American "veterans" and sportscasters loudly denounced Canada for NOT buying into the US policy. At the time I was serving as a planner at NDHQ and with 24 other of my colleagues we went to Tampa SOUCOM HQ to be involved in the planning in the planning stages of the op....and to report to NDHQ, that would report to the PMO upon the merits of the proposed operation. There was never at anytime an existing target list of verified sites where there were deployed WMD. Coalition assets were more than sufficient for the initial strike and invasion phase but even at that point in the planning, we were concerned about the number of "boots on the ground" for the occupation (and end game) stage of an operation in Iraq. We were also concerned about the American plans for occupation plans of Iraq because they at that stage included no contingency for a handing over of civil authority to a vetted Iraqi government and bureaucracy. There was no detailed plan for Iraq being "liberated" and returned to its people...nor a thought to an eventual exit plan. This was contrary to the lessons of Vietnam but also to current military thought, that folks like Colin Powell and "Stuffy" Leighton and others elucidated upon. "What's the mission" how long is the mission, what conditions are to met before US troop can redeploy? Prime Minister Jean Chretien and the PMO were even at the very preliminary planning stages wary of Canadian involvement in an Iraq operation....History would prove them correct. The political pressure being applied on the PMO from the George W Bush administration was onerous American military assets were extremely overstretched, and Canadian military assets even more so It was proposed by the PMO that Canadian naval platforms would deploy to assist in naval quarantine operations in the Gulf and that Canadian army assets would deploy in Afghanistan thus permitting US army assets to redeploy for an Iraqi operation....The PMO thought that "compromise would save Canadian lives and liberal political capital.. and the priority of which ....not necessarily in that order. " You can bet that I called these sneaky Yankees again today EH John Adams? of the CSE within the DND? http://www.socom.mil/SOCOMHome/Pages/ContactUSSOCOM.aspx 84. The Plaintiff states that the RCMP is well aware that he went to western Canada in 2104 at the invitation of a fellow Maritimer in order to assist in his attempt to investigate the murders of many people in Northern BC. The Plaintiff has good reasons to doubt his fellow Maritimer’s motives. The fact that he did not tell the Plaintiff until he had arrived in BC that he had invited a Neo Nazi he knew the Plaintiff strongly disliked to the same protest that he was staging in front of the court house in Prince George on August 21, 2014. The Plaintiff was looking forward to meeting Lonnie Landrud so he ignored the Neo Nazi. Several months after their one and only meeting, Lonnie Landrud contacted the Plaintiff and asked him to publish a statement of his on the Internet and to forward it to anyone he wished. The Plaintiff obliged Landrud and did an investigation of his own as well. He has informed the RCMP of his opinion of their actions and has done nothing further except monitor the criminal proceedings the Crown has placed against the Neo Nazi in BC and save his videos and webpages and that of his associates. The words the Plaintiff stated in public in Prince George BC on August 21, 2014 were recorded by the Neo Nazi and published on the Internet and the RCMP knows the Plaintiff stands by every word. For the public record the Plaintiff truly believes what Lonnie Landrud told him despite the fact that he does not trust his Neo Nazi associates. Therefore the Plaintiff had no ethical dilemma whatsoever in publishing the statement Lonnie Landrud mailed to him in a sincere effort to assist Lonnie Landrud’s pursuit of justice. The Crown is well aware that Plaintiff’s former lawyer, Barry Bachrach once had a leader of the American Indian Movement for a client and that is why he ran against the former Minister of Indian Affairs for his seat in the 39th Parliament. 85. The Plaintiff states that while he was out west he visited Edmonton AB several times and met many people. He visited the home of Barry Winters and all his favourite haunts in the hope of meeting in person the evil person who had been sexually harassing and threatening to kill him and his children for many years. The Crown cannot deny that Winters invited him many times. On June 13, 2015 Barry Winters admitted the EPS warned him the Plaintiff was looking for him. 86. The Plaintiff states that on December 15th, 2014 the Crown in Alberta contacted him byway of an email account he seldom uses since his last communications with the Sergeant-at-Arms and Robin Reid. The Sergeant-at-Arms wanted to know about a contact he had that day with the constituency office of a recently appointed Cabinet Minister. All the other statements in this complaint should prove that the Plaintiff knew why a political lawyer from NB was ignoring a new constituent’s contacts all summer after answering a message in Twitter promising to meet with him. It was obvious to the Plaintiff that as soon as the lawyer was a Cabinet Minister he was attempting to use his influence to intimidate the Plaintiff byway of the Sergeant-at-Arms like his political associates in NB did in 2004. 87. The Plaintiff states that before he had a chance to respond to the email from the Sergeant-at-Arms of Alberta, three members of the RCMP members in plain clothes were pounding on the basement entrance of a condo at 1:30 AM. They did not identify themselves as being the police as they attempted to harass the Plaintiff on private property in the middle of the night without a warrant. The Plaintiff was twice the age of the oldest one and considered them to be tough talking kids who were trying to enter a home in the middle of the night so as he closed the door he told them he was calling the cops. They hollered on the other side of the door that they were the cops as the Plaintiff called their headquarters and was immediately patched through to them. The Plaintiff refused their request when RCMP tried to con him into coming outside in freezing temperatures in the middle of the night so they could supposedly speak with him instead of saying what they needed to say over the telephone. If what the RCMP was saying was remotely true then they should have identified themselves and asked for him instead of someone else when he answered the door. The Plaintiff’s response to the RCMP’s trickery was that it was best that they communicate in writing and that he would be contacting their lawyers in the morning. The Crown received its very justifiable responses and the law was not upheld. The Plaintiff was ignored as the RCMP continued to harass his family deep into the New Year as he headed for the BC coast then back to the Maritimes to run for public office again. 88. The Plaintiff states that in regards to this complaint the actions and inactions of the Sergeant-at-Arms and the RCMP in Alberta affirmed to the Plaintiff that he is still barred under threat of arrest from all parliamentary properties in Canada because they did not deny it. The RCMP does not have the integrity to talk to or email him about anything because they know he tries to record everything just like they do. Instead of acting ethically the standard operating procedure of the RCMP since 2004 is to intimidate his friends and family in a malicious effort to impeach his character and separate them. That is the reason the Plaintiff stays away from most people most of the time. The actions of the RCMP towards the Plaintiff and many others and his experiences in the USA served to convince him that the Crown acts just like corrupt Americans. In order to cover up wrongs it would prefer to injure and imprison ethical citizens in mental wards rather than uphold the law or argue them publicly in a court of law. In 2002 the Plaintiff explained why he would seek public office in Canada to American lawyers he was suing within statements of a lawsuit about legal malpractice. Now he is doing the same to Canadian lawyers in the employ of the government whose wages are once again being paid by his fellow taxpayer. As the Plaintiff prepares to deal with a predicable motion to dismiss and a motion for a publication ban to delay and conceal this matter before polling day perhaps the lawyers working for the Crown should study the Plaintiff’s work found within documents in the Governor General’s office. Trust that he will look forward to talking to the first lawyer to answer this complaint because it has been years since he could get any lawyer in Canada to discuss anything with him. There is no ethical dilemma to be found in this statement, the Crown counsels should just do their job according to the law of the land, seek the documents in the possession of the lawyer who is the Governor General of Canada and let the political cards fall where they may. In closing the Plaintiff must remind the Crown that two members of the Canadian Forces acting as security for the Highland Games held on the grounds of the Lieutenant Governor’s residence in NB approached the Chief of the Amos Clan claiming that an unnamed party found him “overbearing”. He gave them a copy of the Governors General’s letter and freely left the parliamentary property.

Petty crime leads Plaster Rock to hire private security company
'The RCMP weren't there, so we had to do something,' says mayor
CBC News ·
Plaster Rock Mayor Tom Eagles says private security guards seem to have helped quiet down thefts and vandalism. (Village of Plaster Rock)
The Village of Plaster Rock has hired a private security firm to help deal with petty crime.
Thieves started running "rampant" in the area this summer, said Mayor Tom Eagles. They took kayaks, canoes, four-wheelers, side-by-sides, trailers and gasoline.
"They broke into the golf course here a couple of times this summer. It's even got so bad they broke into a tool shed at the local cemetery and stole the gas there."
Similar concerns were heard in recent months from McAdam in southwestern New Brunswick, where the RCMP decided to step up night patrols following a series of community meetings.
Plaster Rock council opted to hire the private security company GardaWorld.
It has been contracted to guard municipal property for two weekends in a row at a cost of about $1,000 per weekend, said Patty St. Peter, chief administrative officer.
"They come when they're needed," said Eagles.
The presence of marked security vehicles and persons in uniform "goes a long way," he said.
"With social media ... one push of the button and everybody knows they're there. The word spreads fast."
The village has three to four acres of property, said Eagles, including a recreational facility, swimming pool, tennis courts and tourist park that extends to Roulston Lake, where the World Pond Hockey championships were played.
"It's a big area," said Eagles.
"And the petty stuff was getting huge."
Surveillance cameras not helping
A gas tank on a recreation truck had to be replaced, he said, a shed was broken into and items were stolen, including paddles and lifeguarding supplies.
"You have to replace that, and it costs a lot of money."
These are the year-to-date crime occurrences reported by the RCMP for Plaster Rock as of the end of September. (New Brunswick RCMP)
The village has about 20 video surveillance cameras, said Eagles, but they haven't been much help.
"Unless you can see a face or get a licence plate number, there isn't much sense with the cameras. So you've almost got to catch them right there."
Plaster Rock used to have an RCMP detachment with four officers, said Eagles.
"When they were here, they were involved with sports, they were involved with the youth, they were highly respected.
"I don't see that now."
Large area to cover
Now, RCMP officers are dispatched from Perth-Andover or Woodstock, he said, to cover a region that extends north to Nictau and Riley Brook, and it often takes days to respond to non-emergency calls.
"There's days and days and days you will never see a police officer in the village," he said.
"If it was a bad accident or there's life and death involved, yes, they would come," said Eagles, "but the petty stuff, it's usually on hold unless the officer is available."
That's rarely the case, he said, because they have a large area to cover.
"We get calls all the time, there's a vehicle on fire on the Renous Highway or there's something else going on. The dispatcher will call into the local fire department and they'll tell them the RCMP's not coming because they have something else on the go that's way, far more important."
The national average, noted Eagles, is 1.8 police officers per 1,000 people. Across New Brunswick, he said, it's 1.6 and in Plaster Rock, it's 1.0.
"We paid $200,000 for the RCMP, but the RCMP weren't there, so we had to do something."
'Money well spent'
Eagles said he spoke to the former commanding officer of the RCMP in New Brunswick about a year ago, but has not had any contact with the new one.
He said this summer he contacted the minister of public safety and has recently heard back from someone to organize a meeting.
"It's no different here than it would be in other small communities in the province," said Eagles, "and it's a problem."
Much of the theft is probably motivated by the need for cash to buy drugs, he said.
"If there's a mental health (issue) or an addiction," he said, "we're here to help. But in most cases you have to ask for help."
So far, said Eagles, the private security contract has "been money well spent."
The village will do it again, he said "if need be."
CBC News has contacted the RCMP to ask why the number of officers per capita is low in the Plaster Rock area and for a possible response to the mayor's description of inadequate service.
The CBC also asked the Department of the Attorney General and Public Safety whether it approves of the measure Plaster Rock has taken and whether policing reforms can be expected in the new year along with regional service commission changes.
It’s outrageous that rural NB gets almost law enforcement help. Here in rural Maine, there is a robust LE presence. (Plus we can protect our own domains, i.e. shoot criminals down like the dirty dogs they are).

Going to be more of this happening! Sad sad state of affairs

wow high rate of assault.

Another example of the hidden extra costs of contracting policing to RCMP. Petty crime and by-law enforcement are too trivial or menial for them to handle.

time to dump the RCMP.
Tyson McGee
This seems like a common theme here in NB. Black's Harbour and St. George tried to get rid of their RCMP in favour of a municipal police force too. They couldn't because they couldn't strike a deal to use jail services in Saint John or something similar. I think the province needs to realize the current policing model is simply not working anymore. Add in the RCMP's recruitment crisis and we're in for even less policing in the future.

Not really surprising as Trudeau has weakened the criminal code several times , and legalized MJ , so it is no surprise that crime is on the rise . Now Trudeau is planning to legalize hard drugs in some provinces. Welcome to Trudeau's new Canada , are we having fun yet ? https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/drug-decrim-threshold-1.6477327

Reply to @Rick MacMillan: ....with a weakened criminal code , there is less deterrence for criminal activity , so the police may not want to tie up their time for something that the court seems to care very little about , and that has little deterrence on people committing property crime

They need to Kiss the RCMP goodbye, and bring in their own Municipal Police Force!!
Canada has much to offer visitors: breathtaking landscapes and wide open spaces; diverse and inclusive experiences; and welcoming people from coast to coast to coast who provide outstanding service. Combined with a strong focus on health and safety and high COVID-19 vaccination rates, Canada is among the most alluring and smartest destination choices.
The pandemic has had an undeniable impact on Canada’s tourism sector. The Government of Canada continues to help tourism businesses recover and position the industry for strong future growth.
Today, the Honourable Ginette Petitpas Taylor, Minister of Official Languages and Minister responsible for ACOA, announced a non-repayable investment of $86,913, through the Tourism Relief Fund (TRF), for the Village of Plaster Rock.
The Government of New Brunswick is also contributing $76,000 to the project through the Regional Development Corporation.
These investments will help the municipality add a healing garden and introduce paddle board, pedal boat and kayak rentals to the existing offerings at Roulston Lake. This will enable Plaster Rock to expand the range of recreational activities available at the lake and meet increased customer demand for unique tourism experiences.
Launched in July 2021, the TRF was created to help organizations and businesses in the tourism sector adapt their operations to meet public health requirements, offer innovative products and services to visitors and prepare to welcome back travellers. The TRF is administered by Canada’s regional development agencies (RDAs) and Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada (ISED).

- The Honourable Ginette Petitpas Taylor, Minister of Official Languages and Minister responsible for ACOA
“The Canadian tourism sector continues to be one of the most affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. We are fully committed to supporting businesses and organizations through these challenging times, keeping safety as the top priority while ensuring they get support to quickly recover, innovate their products and services, and thrive. The Tourism Relief Fund will help businesses adapt, make improvements, and be ready to welcome back guests. It also feeds into a broader strategy to help the sector survive the pandemic, recover and grow. The Canadian economy will not fully recover until our tourism sector recovers.”
- The Honourable Randy Boissonnault, Minister of Tourism and Associate Minister of Finance
“We are pleased to invest in enhanced tourism experiences for the Village of Plaster Rock. The tourism sector is an important part of economic growth in all areas of the province, and particularly in our rural communities.”

Quick facts
The tourism sector is a key contributor to the Canadian economy. In 2019, tourism generated over $104 billion in revenue and directly employed 692,000 people, including those in underrepresented groups like women, students, racialized people, and Indigenous populations.
o A minimum of $50 million of the fund’s budget has been earmarked for Indigenous tourism projects. Indigenous communities that rely heavily on tourism have been disproportionately affected by the pandemic.
o $48.5 million from the Tourism Relief Fund has been allocated to ACOA to administer the fund in the Atlantic region.

Protesters showed up at Oakville Trafalgar High School today to voice their disapproval of a technical teacher https://www.chch.com/oakville-teacher... CHCH News was there to cover the gathering. Here's the full, uncut video of what we saw.
The so-called “freedom convoy's” use of the word "freedom" has become increasingly popular during protests and even among politicians appealing to its audience. An expert in Canadian and U.S. politics says it’s a concept “everyone is for” regardless of their political points of view. But experts also say the term is being used in other extremist concepts. Noor Ibrahim has the story.
Except that the word describes exactly what the truckers were fighting for, the freedom to return to living and working the way they always did contributing to society before being outcast for not getting vaxxed. You know, as outlined in our Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms
Conservative leadership front-runner Pierre Poilievre came under fire this past weekend after an image of him shaking hands with Jeremy Mackenzie, the founder of a group known as “Diagolon,” emerged.

Shortly after the image surfaced on Mackenzie’s public Telegram channel, NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh called on Poilievre to “denounce Jeremy Mackenzie and Diagolon,” who he said are “designated as violent extremists by Canada’s Integrated Terrorism Assessment Centre.”
Singh was referring to a report from Press Progress, which last week published a document it obtained through access-to-information from the Integrated Terrorism Assessment Centre, a federal organization that assesses threats of terrorism to Canada.
The document,dated Feb. 17, 2022, classifies Mackenzie as one of the “key anti-government IMVE (ideologically motivated violent extremism) adherents” that attended the so-called “freedom convoy” protests in Ottawa earlier this year.
The Canadian government has not expressed formal concern about Diagolon nor does it list the group as a terrorist entity.
“Over the course of my campaign I have shaken hands with literally tens of thousands of people at public rallies. It is impossible to do a background check on every single person who attends my events,” Poilievre’s campaign team said in response to Global News’ request for comment on Aug. 20.
“As I always have, I denounce racism and anyone who spreads it. I didn’t and don’t know or recognize this particular individual.”
So who is Mackenzie — and what is Diagolon? Here’s what you need to know.
Diagolon: Meme country or extremist threat?
A drug-addled demonic goat named Phillip. A fictional diagonal country running from Alaska to Florida. An alleged plot to kill RCMP officers in Coutts, Alta.
There’s a common thread uniting these topics: they’re all, in some way, tied to Diagolon.
Founders of the group say it’s all one big joke, a meme, and they’re just a group of anti-establishment comedians. The demonic goat and fictional country were the product of “several edibles,” to hear Diagolon founder Jeremy Mackenzie tell it.
His telegram channel has more than 13,000 members, and he has at least 10,000 subscribers on YouTube.
But after a patch bearing the group’s insignia was found alongside weapons seized by the RCMP near the border in Coutts in February, some extremism experts say they are concerned about what the multi-hour livestreams could inspire their viewers to do.
“It’s not just an innocent podcast. It’s not just irony,” said Amarnath Amarasingam, an assistant professor at Queen’s University and expert on extremism.
These podcasters are giving their viewers a new “lens” through which to interpret their struggles, he said – one that paints government as the villain and societal collapse as inevitable.
“The louder that gets, the more people that message resonates with, then you automatically create the potential for one or two of them doing something about it.”

In a statement sent to Global News, Mackenzie rejected any suggestion that his livestreams could incite violence or aggression.
The goal of his podcast, Mackenzie said, is to “make people laugh and alleviate their stress, build a sense of community to combat the social and spiritual isolation prevalent through society, make it abundantly clear that these incredibly wealthy and powerful folks pushing the buttons in our home are not to be blindly trusted without a thought.”
How did Diagolon start?
It all started with a single livestream.
Story continues below advertisement
Mackenzie said he was “pretty ripped on edibles” one night in 2020. That’s when the 36-year-old military veteran realized the states without COVID-19 mandates, when highlighted, formed a diagonal line across the North American continent.
“I was like, ‘It’s going to end up, this is where all the sane people live.’ The rest will go crazy, California will probably sink into the sea, New York will explode, and everyone will just kind of live in this line,” he told a fellow podcaster on a livestream on July 7.

The joke became more and more elaborate. The livestream dubbed the series of states and provinces the “Empire of Diagolon,” Mackenzie said.
In reality, Mackenzie said Diagolon is a “cultural clique.”
“There is a community. It’s like a fan club of a podcast, essentially. That’s really all it is — and it’s just like-minded people,” he said.
The streams regularly express their deep distrust in political institutions, hinting at a societal collapse they believe the political elite has Canada careening towards.
The Canadian government has not expressed formal concern about Diagolon, though Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino did refer to “a far-right extreme organization” in relation to the blockade in Coutts.
“Several of the individuals at Coutts have strong ties to a far-right extreme organization with leaders who are in Ottawa,” he said at the time.
He did not name the organization.
Diagolon is not listed as a terrorist entity according to Canada’s Anti-Terrorism Act — and according to Amarasingam, it doesn’t fit that definition.
He said the danger with Diagolon, rather, lies with how its viewers might internalize the cynical worldview Mackenzie and other affiliated broadcasters present.
“I don’t get the sense that they know what they want to do next…. There’s this kind of constant revelling in the grievance itself. But there’s no real ask,” Amarasingam said.
“That’s not to say particular individuals and this movement won’t take it upon themselves to do it — as we (allegedly) saw in Coutts.”
As anti-COVID-19-mandate demonstrations paralyzed the border at Coutts in February, the RCMP said they became aware of a small, organized group at the protest that had “a willingness to use force against the police.”
In a subsequent raid, Mounties uncovered 13 long guns, handguns, a machete, a large quantity of ammunition and body armour. They also found two tactical vests — adorned with what Canadian Anti-Hate Network researchers believe were Diagolon patches.
A 2023 trial date was set for the four accused in this raid July 11.
Mackenzie denies that the patches are affiliated with his group. A post on a website dedicated to Diagolon suggests the patches are fake and being “used to frame community members.”
Story continues below advertisement
Meanwhile, the Diagolon founder has said in livestreams that he’s “not doing anything.” He’s just “commenting” on the “destructive” behaviour of others — including those in positions of power.
“I’m just pointing it out because I don’t know what else to do,” he said. “And if enough people see it, maybe something will happen.”

Saskatchewan RCMP have confirmed that Jeremy Mackenzie, the leader of the controversial Diagolon movement, was arrested on a Canada-wide warrant on Wednesday.
According to Mackenzie's partner, Morgan May Guptill, he was detained at their Cole Harbour home by the Halifax Regional Police late Wednesday afternoon.
May said she and Mackenzie had noticed earlier in the day when reviewing their surveillance footage that police had stopped by their home.
"So we had called them and they made us aware that there was a warrant," May told CBC in a phone interview.
She said she and Mackenzie "waited in the driveway for them and co-operated."

Mackenzie was arrested by members of the RCMP and Halifax Regional Police on charges that had been laid months ago.
On July 18, Saskatchewan RCMP charged the 36-year-old with assault, pointing a firearm, use of a restricted weapon in a careless manner and mischief during an incident near Viscount, Sask., in November. There's no word yet on a court date.
Militia or trolling?
Mackenzie is a prolific podcaster and the leader of an online group known as Diagolon. A June 2022 House of Commons report identified the organization as an ideologically motivated violent extremist organization.
"It's made up of former members of the Canadian Forces, individuals with real combat training, with real capabilities and who have grown increasingly radicalized, especially because of COVID," the report says, quoting Mubin Shaikh, a professor of public safety at Seneca College.
The report notes there are connections between Diagolon and extremists who were arrested at the Coutts, Alta., border crossing during the February convoy protest. It said those extremists "were ready to engage police in a firefight."
Members of Diagolon have been tied to the convoy protests and two Diagolon patches were found on body armour seized during the execution of RCMP search warrants at Coutts.
Mackenzie and his followers have scoffed at the suggestion this group is some sort of American-style militia group, arguing they are simply trolling a gullible media.
In reference to a photo of Mackenzie and others posing with guns, Guptill explained it's all a ruse.
"He knows you guys will fall for it and you'll post it and look ridiculous," she said, explaining that the purpose is "to make people understand that reporters have no idea. They don't do the research. They don't actually know what they're talking about. They'll take anything and run with it."

Rape threat or joke?
Jeremy Mackenzie also claimed to be joking earlier this week when it came to light that he had suggested on his podcast that he wanted to rape Anaida Poilievre, the wife of Conservative Party leader Pierre Poilievre.
One of the other men on the podcast asked him if he would be talking about raping a woman if his partner Morgan was around. He said he would and indicated she would want to join in.
Morgan Guptill said those comments were completely inappropriate.
"I had hoped Jeremy would have time to put out a video to apologize for putting words in my mouth — things that I obviously had never said and would never say as a sexual assault victim myself," she told CBC.
In a statement, Poilievre condemned Mackenzie's statement as "disgusting," referring to Mackenzie and his fellow podcasters as "dirtbags" and "losers." The RCMP confirmed Monday that it is looking into this alleged threat.
In a post on the instant messaging service Telegram, Mackenzie wrote "It's unfortunate as leader of the opposition that he's chosen to focus his attention on such trivial matters like small time podcast comedians making jokes."
Guptill told CBC, "I believe him when he says that he was joking but at the end of the day considering all of the court cases we have on the go it's quite a serious thing to say in my opinion."
Other cases on the horizon
In March, Mackenzie and Guptill were charged with mischief, criminal harassment and intimidation of a health professional during an anti-mask protest at the home of Nova Scotia's Chief Medical Officer of Health Robert Strang.

Then, in June, Mackenzie was charged with 13 firearms-related offences, including three counts of careless use of a firearm and three of unauthorized possession of a firearm. The RCMP said officers discovered five restricted guns, prohibited ammunition magazines, ammunition and body armour.
And last Friday, Guptill was arrested and jailed for allegedly failing to pay $69.10 for fuel at a local gas station.
Guptill told CBC that in all of these cases, she and Mackenzie have been unfairly targeted.
"We feel like this is quite an overreach and that we are being targeted by the police for speaking out against them," she said, referring to their social media channels and podcasts, where they are relentless critics of mainstream political parties, media organizations and government institutions.
She said the goal is to "ruin our reputation because they know that we have such a large audience." Mackenzie has more than 14,000 followers on his Telegram channel.
She said she and Mackenzie are misunderstood.
Fundamentally, she says, they are all about giving hope by "building communities of like-minded people so they don't feel alone throughout potential future lockdowns or food shortages or war or whatever is coming."
She said the focus on Mackenzie as some sort of dangerous leader is also misguided.
"He's a teddy bear," she said. "He talks big though."

Pierre Poilievre’s wife targeted with rape threat by far-right activist
Duration 2:00
WARNING: This story contains distressing details. A far-right activist made threats of sexual violence against the wife of Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre during a livestream. Now, the RCMP is investigating.
Warning: This story contains sexually graphic details that may be disturbing to readers
The RCMP confirmed Monday that it is looking into a threat of sexual violence directed at Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre's wife, Anaida Poilievre.
Poilievre denounced the threat from far-right political commentator Jeremy MacKenzie and said his office contacted law enforcement about the matter.
An RCMP spokesperson told CBC News Monday that it's looking into the report.
"We can confirm that the matter has been referred to the RCMP and we are reviewing the information provided," they said in an email.
"Only in the event that criminal charges are laid would the RCMP be in a position to confirm the nature of the complaint or any individuals allegedly involved."
Jeremy MacKenzie, the leader of the Canadian far-right group Diagolon, made the threats over the weekend in a stream on the social media app Telegram while speaking with a guest, Alex Vriend.
"Let's rape her," MacKenzie said. "It's not really a sex thing. It's like we just want to show people that we can do things to you if we want to. It's a power move."
MacKenzie made several racist and derogatory remarks about Anaida Poilievre's Venezuelan background in the stream.
Anaida Poilievre was born in Venezuela and grew up in Montreal. Pierre and Anaida married in 2017 and have two children. Pierre Poilievre was elected Conservative leader earlier this month and Anaida Poilievre works as a political staffer on Parliament Hill.
In a statement posted to Twitter Monday, Poilievre said his office has contacted the RCMP about the comments.
"My office has referred these comments to the RCMP to assess whether criminal charges should be laid," he said in the statement.
Jenni Byrne, the head of Poilievre's transition team, told CBC News she called the RCMP on Saturday after she was made aware of the threat. Byrne said she would be meeting with the Mounties to discuss the situation.
"These men are dirtbags," Poilievre said in the statement. "Frankly, like most Canadians, until about a month ago I had never heard of Diagolon and these losers. They are all odious.
"This kind of garbage has no place in Canada. No one should face this abuse.
"People can attack my politics, they can call me names, they can protest my ideas and what I stand for. But threatening my wife and family is appalling and I will not tolerate it. Leave my family alone."
In an interview with The Canadian Press, MacKenzie said he was drinking when he made the comments and meant no harm by them.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau denounced threats and hatred in response to a reporter's question Monday. He didn't mention Poilievre specifically.
"No one should ever be subject to threats of violence or the kind of hatred that we've seen increasingly in the public discourse, in the public sphere," Trudeau told a news conference.
"It's important that we all stand up and condemn that, and we all look for ways to ensure that everyone feels safe in this country."
NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh also denounced the threat.
"No one should be threatened with sexual violence. Not journalists, not politicians, not anyone's family, not anyone," Singh said in a tweet Monday.
No one should be threatened with sexual violence. Not journalists, not politicians, not anyone’s family, not anyone. The rise of violent extremism in Canada should be a concern for all Leaders. If there’s political will, we can do something to stop it.
He called on political leaders to work at stopping violent extremism.
"The rise of violent extremism in Canada should be a concern for all leaders. If there's political will, we can do something to stop it," he said.
Mark Gerretsen, a Liberal member of Parliament representing Kingston and the Islands, tweeted Monday that he also received a sexual assault threat directed at his wife. He posted the message in his tweet and said both Kingston Police and the Parliamentary Protective Service have opened files on it.
"I 100% agree with Pierre Poilievre on this," Gerrettsen said in the tweet. "Attack me all you want. Leave our families out of this."
Who is Jeremy MacKenzie?
MacKenzie, who is 36, has attracted attention for his support of the anti-vaccine mandate convoy protest which occupied Ottawa earlier this year, and for his leadership of far-right group Diagolon.
A spokesperson for the Department of National Defence told CBC in an email that MacKenzie served in the Canadian Armed Forces. They said MacKenzie enrolled in 2003 and released in 2017, adding he was an infantryman with the Royal Canadian Regiment and that he had one deployment to Afghanistan.
An Instagram account bearing MacKenzie's name describes him as a "Sub-Standard podcaster, Sit-down comedian Super Villain, Sardonic Emperor of Diagolon, Very Scary."
The Saskatchewan RCMP charged MacKenzie in July with assault, pointing a firearm, using a restricted weapon in a careless manner and mischief. Nova Scotia RCMP charged MacKenzie with 13 gun-related charges in June.
Barbara Perry, director of the Centre on Hate, Bias and Extremism at Ontario Tech University, said that Diagolon aims to establish a "white ethnonationalist state" which would run diagonally from the Pacific Northwest through Canada to Florida.

"So the idea is ... to accelerate some form of civil war," Perry said. "[MacKenzie] feels, and some of his followers believe, that we are already in the midst of a racial war in which white men, in particular, are losing, so it's time for them to stand up and fight back.
"So they would like to 'accelerate' that civil war, if you will, and replace the current order with this white ethnonationalist state."
Perry said that while Diagolon lacks concrete plans, the group's narrative is violent and aggressive — and may inspire violence.
"The narratives themselves are dangerous because of the potential consequences," she said.
Perry said that MacKenzie may have seen Anaida Poilievre's ethnicity and gender, as well the fact that she has children with Pierre, as an opportunity to highlight his racist, misogynist narrative.
"My campaign events are public. There is no registration and anyone can walk in ... It is impossible to do a background check on every single person who attends my events," Poilievre said in the statement. "As I always have, I denounce racism and anyone who spreads it."
Perry said MacKenzie also may have threatened Poilievre because of Poilievre's new status as leader of the opposition.
"So now, to the extent that Poilievre is the leader of a primary political party in Canada, he is now part of the machinery. He is, because of that leadership role, part of the state to which [Diagolon is] so opposed," Perry said.

WATCH: Pierre Poilievre walked down an Ottawa street with a crowd including James Topp, who had previously appeared on an episode of Jeremy Mackenzie's podcast in which the latter described wanting to “bring down the government.” – Jun 30, 2022
Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre says he is denouncing “abuse” and sexually threatening language against his wife allegedly made by Jeremy Mackenzie, the de-facto leader of a far-right group called Diagolon whose adherents have waged a social media abuse campaign against female journalists for months.
In a statement posted on Twitter Monday morning, Poilievre said he had been made aware of “disgusting comments made by Jeremy McKenzie and another man, where they discuss sexually assaulting my wife.”
He called the men “odious” and “losers,” and added he has reported the comments to police.
In the video, a social media account of “Jeremy Mackenzie” can be seen lighting up as the speaker before a man can be heard talking about Anaida Poilievre as he and co-hosts debate her ethnic background, before he goes on to say: “let’s rape her.”
“It’s not really a sex thing, we just want to show people we can do things to you if we want to,” he adds.
Global News attempted to contact Mackenzie on Monday about the threats allegedly made against Anaida Poilievre. No response has yet been received.
The Canadian Press reported Monday afternoon that in an interview with Mackenzie, he said he was drinking when he made the comments and nobody meant any harm by it.
Poilievre said in his statement that he had not known about Diagolon until “about a month ago.”
Global News sent a list of questions to Poilievre’s Conservative leadership campaign back in July, shortly after he attended an anti-COVID public health measures march with a man called James Topp, who had previously appeared on an episode of Mackenzie’s podcast in January in which the latter described wanting to “bring down the government.”
Co-hosts of that episode also described wanting “to assemble the gallows on f—ing Parliament.”
When asked if Poilievre was concerned that supporting figures like Topp who have appeared on Mackenzie’s podcast could be interpreted as support for far-right views, and whether he would denounce comments by Mackenzie’s co-host about wanting to see a gallows on Parliament Hill, Poilievre attacked Global News.
His campaign posted a 238-word statement accusing Global News of being “unprofessional” and attempting to set “disingenuous traps.”
“Your tactic seems to be to demand Mr. Poilievre answer for all the words and deeds of not just everyone he has ever met, but also everyone they have ever met,” his campaign said. “Each of those people is individually responsible for their own words and deeds.”
Poilievre faced questions last month after a photo circulated online showing him shaking Mackenzie’s hand at a campaign event in Nova Scotia. A spokesperson for Poilievre said on Aug. 20 that he has “shaken hands with literally tens of thousands of people at public rallies.”
“It is impossible to do a background check on every single person who attends my events,” Poilievre’s campaign team said in response to Global News’ request for comment on Aug. 20.
“I didn’t and don’t know or recognize this particular individual.”
Over recent weeks, an ongoing torrent of abuse, threats and hate against the journalist in question and other female Canadian journalists covering the far-right has continued to escalate, including from supporters of Diagolon and Mackenzie himself.
“You deserve worse and with the trajectory you’re on, you’ll get it,” Mackenzie tweeted on Aug. 12 about the onslaught of threats against female journalists covering the far-right.
He also urged his thousands of followers: “Hate them as hard as you can.”
His account was suspended shortly after and remains so.
Diagolon took on additional prominence during the convoy blockades earlier this year, particularly the blockade in Coutts, Alta. RCMP said at the time they had become aware of a small, organized group that had “a willingness to use force against the police.”
In a subsequent raid, Mounties uncovered 13 long guns, handguns, a machete, a large quantity of ammunition and body armour. They also found two tactical vests — adorned with what Canadian Anti-Hate Network researchers believe were Diagolon patches.
Mackenzie has denied the patches are affiliated with his group.
Global News obtained the City of Ottawa permit application for the march Poilievre attended alongside Topp last month. Listed as the “primary event contact” on the form was Stephanie McEvoy, a woman who described herself online in social media posts as “pro-ProudBoy.”
The Proud Boys are a listed terrorist entity in Canada.
Poilievre’s campaign did not respond to questions at the time asking if he knew McEvoy was involved.
Topp’s lawyer has served Global News with a complaint about a previous Global News article and indicated that any statement suggesting Topp is a “a member of the far-right” or an “extremist” is false and defamatory.

Nova scotia Rcmp Arrest Morgan May on False charges for stealing gas
It’s now been days and still have not been given any information on @MorganMay4Freedom or heard from her at all. No one has.
In Canada, when the state doesn’t like you – they can invent fraudulent, ludicrously petty charges like “stealing gas”, put a warrant out for you, take you in handcuffs, put you in prison to await a bail hearing from a judge, for what would amount to be roughly $50. Which didn’t even happen.
She missed her grandfather’s funeral because of this, by the way. The state also prevented her from burying her own father in 2020 “because coronu” and she’s unvaccinated. Ew!
Morgan is being punished as a political prisoner. Maybe they’ll charge her with mischief and keep her for 6 months as a danger to society?
Morgan is the most beautiful soul I’ve ever known and it’s heartbreaking to see her treated like this.
Nova Scotia and Canada proper is dreadfully corrupt. Please share her story around, I’m banned from most things. Will update when I hear anything.
https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgar... Well the slander media does a fake news story on me staying i am anti masker plus other gross things about me. Kevin j Johnston clears the airwaves for me
An Alberta court has charged Donald Smith of Toronto with contempt of court after photos of an Alberta judge who recently convicted four anti-mask, COVID-19-denying men were posted online. The images were taken during virtual court hearings. (Donald Smith/YouTube)
Charges have been laid against a Toronto man for posting photos of the Alberta judge who recently convicted four anti-mask, COVID-19-denying men who repeatedly breached public health restrictions and judges' orders.
This is the second-known breach of judges' privacy in as many weeks. It follows news earlier this month that former Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms president John Carpay, who is now on indefinite leave, hired a private investigator to follow Manitoba Chief Justice Glenn Joyal — who is presiding over a court challenge related to the province's lockdown measures — to his home and cottage.
Court of Queen's Bench Justice Adam Germain has been tasked with handling all Alberta pandemic-related breaches of judges' orders. The aim is to control repeat offenders who refused to abide by public health restrictions and encouraged others to follow along.
Donald Smith, an anti-mask, pandemic-denying supporter of Calgary mayoral candidate Kevin J. Johnston, admitted in court Tuesday that he took pictures of Germain as well as Alberta Health Services (AHS) lawyer Mark Jackson.
He was charged with contempt of court.
Smith calls judge 'crooked'
The images were screen grabbed during virtual court hearings hosted on WebEx, video-conferencing software similar to Zoom. At the beginning of all hearings, Germain issued warnings that no images or recordings were to be captured during the court sessions.
"Crooked #LiberalCalgaryJudge/Former MLA making is decision on Calgary mayoral candidate Kevin J. Johnston on Friday to see if Kevin gets out of jail," wrote Smith on June 28.
"I know posting this picture of the judge can land me in hot water but I really do not care because its time to expose these crooked judges for what there doing."
The contempt charges are for both taking and posting the photos and for allegedly recording the proceedings and posting non-certified transcriptions.
Smith, who was present for Tuesday's WebEx hearing, apologized for his conduct.
"It will never, never, never happen again, and you've got my word on that," he said.
"I'm terribly sorry. What I did was wrong, it will never happen again."
Jail time possible, warns judge
Smith said he would be willing to pay a fine, but Germain warned him he could be looking at jail time and encouraged the Ontario man to hire a lawyer.
Germain also noted that changes had been made to WebEx video court hearings, calling them the "Donald Smith security enhancements."
Smith is described as an "associate" of disgraced Calgary mayoral candidate Kevin J. Johnston, who earlier this month pleaded guilty to criminal harassment of an AHS employee.
Johnston posted the woman's family photos on his social media channels along with threatening messages.
Contempt sentences delayed
Johnston was also convicted of causing a disturbance at the Core shopping centre in Calgary when he became belligerent with employees after being asked to wear a mask.
Johnston is being sued by AHS and also faces criminal charges in B.C. and Ontario.
In 2019, an Ontario judge issued a ruling in a libel suit filed against Johnston, calling his behaviours a "loathsome example of hate speech at its worst, targeting people solely because of their religion," after he made Islamophobic comments against a Muslim man.
Court was in session Tuesday to deal with sentencing submissions for Johnston, pastor Art Pawlowski and his brother Dawid, as well as Whistle Stop Cafe owner Christopher Scott, found guilty of contempt for breaking various orders related to promoting gatherings against public health restrictions.
Lawyers for all of the men asked for adjournments and will now make submissions next month.
AHS has indicated it plans to seek jail sentences and recovery of costs.

An earlier version of this story said it was Justice Centre lawyers who had followed Manitoba's chief justice, when in fact it was private investigators who had been hired by the centre's then-president.

An Ontario man who violated a judge's order by taking screenshots of a court hearing involving controversial Calgary mayoral candidate Kevin J. Johnston has been fined $2,500 for contempt of court.
"It kind of sucks that I have to pay … but I take full responsibility for my actions," said Donald Smith, who attended the virtual court hearing from Toronto, where he now lives.
Smith posted photos of Court of Queen's Bench Justice Adam Germain and Alberta Health Services lawyer Mark Jackson.
He posted the images to social media and described Germain as "crooked."
"Crooked #LiberalCalgaryJudge/Former MLA making is decision on Calgary mayoral candidate Kevin J. Johnston on Friday to see if Kevin gets out of jail," wrote Smith on June 28.
"I know posting this picture of the judge can land me in hot water but I really do not care because its time to expose these crooked judges for what there doing."
Smith fined, avoids jail time
During Wednesday morning's sanction hearing, Smith repeatedly apologized for what he did.
"I'm terribly sorry for taking the screenshot, I felt bad," he said.
"Mr. Smith was clearly in contempt of my court order and he made a virtue of broadcasting this contempt on social media. That's how it came to our attention," Germain told the sanction hearing Wednesday.
Smith was fined $1,000 for the contempt charge and ordered to pay $1,500 in legal costs to Alberta Health Services.
Germain said that in similar cases, a contempt of court charge would usually result in a short jail sentence. However, he said, several factors were considered, including Smith's decision to admit his guilt, take down the post and negotiate a cash settlement.
"In any other circumstance, Mr. Smith would have gone to jail for a short, sharp period of imprisonment," said the judge.
We encourage people to express negativity about the court system, but you will understand that judges are also human beings, and so when people challenge our integrity, or suggest that we're doing something unlawful or inappropriate, and if their words become hostile, it upsets us.
- Court of Queen's Bench Justice Adam Germain
Germain said that while judges have "thick skins" and are open to criticism, comments suggesting they are doing something unlawful can be upsetting.
"We encourage people to express negativity about the court system," Germain said while delivering his decision.
"But you will understand that judges are also human beings, and so when people challenge our integrity, or suggest that we're doing something unlawful or inappropriate, and if their words become hostile, it upsets us," he said.
"And it also upsets judges when we make a court order that we expect to be obeyed."

Judge to preside over hearing for Johnston
Germain is scheduled to preside over a sanction hearing Sept. 8 for Kevin J. Johnston, the Calgary mayoral candidate who is a leader in the COVID-19 denial movement. He has been found guilty of breaching several court orders related to public gatherings.
Johnston pleaded guilty to criminal harassment of an Alberta Health Services employee whose family photos he posted online along with threatening messages.
Johnston was also convicted of causing a disturbance at the Core shopping centre in downtown Calgary when he became belligerent with employees after being asked to wear a mask.
Johnston was arrested on May 26 and has served about 10 weeks, when enhanced credit is considered. Those awaiting trial and — if found guilty — sentencing, typically receive 1.5 days of credit for every one day spent in jail.
Canadian Forces veteran who leads Diaglon appears in Saskatoon court
Jeremy MacKenzie was arrested by Nova Scotia RCMP and transported to Saskatoon to face charges of assault, pointing a firearm, using a restricted weapon in a careless manner, and mischief.

SASKATOON – A man who calls himself the “raging dissident” was arrested in Nova Scotia and brought to Saskatchewan to appear in Saskatoon Provincial Court Monday.
Jeremy MacKenzie, 36, was arrested in Cole Harbour by the Nova Scotia RCMP and transported to Saskatoon. His matter was adjourned to Friday for a show cause hearing.
MacKenzie was wanted on a Canada-wide warrant for the last six months on charges stemming from an alleged incident earlier this year. Saskatoon RCMP say that they received a report of an assault in the R.M. of Viscount in March. In July, police charged MacKenzie with assault, pointing a firearm, using a restricted weapon in a careless manner, and mischief
In March, he was charged with harassment and intimidation in connection with a protest outside of the home of Nova Scotia’s chief medical officer of health.
MacKenzie, who is a podcaster, founded the online group Diaglon. On social media, he describes himself as “unacceptable and extreme alt-right,” a sit-down comedian, and anti-government. He also says he is a former Stormtrooper with the Canadian Armed Forces.
A recent House of Commons report labelled Diaglon as an ideologically motivated extremist group. The report states that the group consists of former Canadian Forces members who have real combat training and capabilities, and have "grown increasingly radicalized.”
The charges against MacKenzie haven’t been tested in court.
The New Brunswick government has tabled legislation to change how it funds municipal governments. (Karissa Donkin/CBC)
New Brunswick is changing how it funds municipal governments, overhauling a decade-old formula as it prepares to implement local governance reforms in January.
Daniel Allain, the province's minister of local government and local governance reform, introduced legislative amendments Tuesday afternoon.
The changes will see a grant municipalities received phased out as the province shifts focus to an equalization program and partly funding regional service commissions, which take on more services.
"For the first time in more than 50 years, the local governance landscape has changed, and it requires a review to reflect the new structure," Ryan Donaghy, the deputy minister of local government, told reporters at a briefing before the bill was introduced.
Allain said during the briefing that the province heard municipalities and their associations calling for stability as major reforms take place.
He said that's why some aspects of the existing system will remain as others are phased out over five years. The province is committing to spend $75.6 million annually through the new system, a set amount for five years.
"We're trying to stop the highs and lows of municipal reform," Allain said.

The funding system in place since 2013 has what's known as a core funding component most communities received and an equalization grant that some received.
Equalization stems from the Equal Opportunity Program in the 1960s. Tax revenue collected by the province is distributed to communities with a lower financial capacity, so residents across the province have access to comparable municipal services.
"Fundamentally, the $75.6 million, what's it for? It's to make sure that we help — as the federal government does to the provinces — that we help municipalities that need not a hand out, but a hand up," Allain said.
While equalization will remain, the formula used to calculate it will compare a community's annual tax base growth to the provincial tax base growth.
Core grant to be phased out
The core grants will be phased out over five years.
Allain said that's because the province is giving communities the ability to set a local property tax rate on non-residential and heavy industrial properties at a range of 1.4 to 1.7 times the residential rate.
That leaves it to each community to make up for losses from the end of the core grant.
However, Allain said the funding isn't being cut but redirected.
Instead, it will go into a pool of money used to fund the expanded role of the 12 regional service commissions.
Commissions mandated to deal with things like garbage collection and land-use planning will take on regional economic development, tourism promotion, regional transportation and cost-sharing of recreational infrastructure.
Allain said some commissions had already started carrying out those tasks, but they all will now be required to provide those services.
The changes are likely to affect budgets in several of the province's largest cities that received millions in payments that will now be phased out.
Fredericton received more than $1.9 million as a core grant this year.
Figures released Tuesday show that would be reduced to about $1.6 million in 2023. Its regional service commission grant would be about $545,350.
The association representing the province's cities had called on the province to hold off on changes that would affect their finances until comprehensive tax reforms are implemented, something the province doesn't plan to start until 2024.
Moncton Mayor Dawn Arnold says cities wanted to have tax reforms completed before seeing changes to the province's funding system. (Shane Magee/CBC)
"We are very anxious to get that comprehensive tax reform in place before any of the equalization payments are changed," Moncton Mayor Dawn Arnold said Monday evening.
Last year, Moncton received nothing under the equalization side, but more than $3.2 million as a core grant. That will be reduced to $2.58 million next year.
"Any loss in revenues is something that we need to make up and it's something that the citizens of Moncton, the taxpayers of Moncton again would lose and they will need to make up the balance," Jacques Doucet, the city's chief financial officer, said Monday.
The changes will see the province adopt some of the 12 recommendations made by an expert panel in a report released last week, but ignore others.
Allain said the province had heard concerns from communities about fully implementing the suggestions at this point.
He said the formula the province is establishing should be reviewed in five years, but the legislation won't require that review.
Queue the smoke, align the mirrors, fire up the spin doctors!
"800 million dollar surplus? No, we gave that to our bosses, the irvings. But don't worry your taxes will go up to balance it all out!"

Elections coming up for 62 newly formed, amalgamated communities
Last day for candidates to sign up is Oct. 28; election day is Nov. 28
CBC News ·
Elections New Brunswick is gearing up for an unusual municipal election day on Nov. 28, as 62 newly formed and amalgamated communities amend their council makeup or elect brand new councillors and mayors. (Lars Schwarz/CBC)
New Brunswick is on track to hold the first elections for dozens of newly formed municipalities, with new names and boundaries on the ballots.
Major centres like Fredericton, Moncton and Saint John, and some other smaller municipalities, won't be voting, but 50 new municipalities and 12 rural districts will be holding elections for the first time on Nov. 28.
Kim Poffenroth, the province's chief electoral officer, said Elections New Brunswick usually holds province-wide municipal elections every four years in May, but since local governance reform, residents need to elect new councillors and mayors.
She said in some communities residents are electing entirely new councils,including mayors. In other places, new councillors are being added.
"It's important for voters to be aware of when the election date is — that the elections are coming up. But it's also equally important for all of the eligible voters, who are also eligible to be candidates, to know that these are coming up," Poffenroth told Information Morning Fredericton.

She said there's lots of work to do for Elections New Brunswick, not just to run the vote, but to help candidates know where to run and people know when and where to vote.
"We need people to get involved as candidate as well," she said. "When there's no actual choice on the ballot for individuals, you know, democracy suffers."
Poffenroth said candidates will need to get their paperwork in by 2 p.m. on Oct. 28, and all voters will find a yellow envelope from Elections New Brunswick in their mailboxes this week.

The first elections for 50 new municipalities in New Brunswick will be held Nov. 28. Rachel Cave speaks with Chief Electoral Officer Kim Poffenroth.
"These are really important positions because your local mayors and councillors, they make really important decisions about the kind of things that affect people's day-to-day lives things from," she said.
"Snowplowing, road clearing, police and fire, that all falls under the authority of your local government officials. And we need people that are passionate about their communities to get involved," she said.
This election will be a culmination of years of legislative change, including a bill passed in December that reduced 340 local government entities to fewer than 100.
Since the reform bill passed, the provincial and local governments went to work on revising boundaries, creating rural districts, picking new names and choosing governance structures for amalgamated communities.
The first phase is set to end on Jan. 1.
The next phase includes figuring out how the municipalities will work together and share resources, with policies cemented by 2027.
The reform led by the Progressive Conservatives under Premier Blaine Higgs was intended to address chronic local government problems that have built up for years, including the sharing and funding of local services and infrastructure, and the growth of urban sprawl just outside the taxation reach of cities, towns and villages.

There was disappointment and relief in various New Brunswick communities this week as the province announced which requests for changes to local governance boundaries it would accept, and which it rejected.
Many move portions or whole local service districts from one local entity to another, while other more substantive changes include the creation of a new community from multiple LSDs in Kings County, north of Sussex.
Several communities that had voiced opposition to forced amalgamations with neighbouring centres did not see their requests reflected in the adjustments.
"I was - and the council was - very much disappointed," Lac Baker Mayor Roseline Pelletier said in an interview.

The community of 750 in the province's northwest will become part of Haut-Madawaska in January 2023. It had sought status quo to retain local control.
"We were confident that we proved with data that we were well off, we didn't need government money … we thought we had good arguments to make the government change its mind about amalgamating us with the other community."
There was also disappointment in Minto and Chipman, which opposed the province's plan to merge the central New Brunswick villages.
Mayor Erica Barnett in a letter to residents posted on Facebook said she had been excited about local governance reform when it was announced.
"I trusted the process, I believed that government would listen to local leaders and take the input we provided," Barnett wrote.
"Clearly that has not been the case. This has made council completely lose trust and faith in the process and in our government."

Meanwhile in Kent County, a proposal to merge communities the province initially planned to keep separate was approved.
The pitch called for merging the Town of Richibucto, Village of Saint-Louis-de-Kent, as well as the local service districts of Saint-Ignace, Aldouane, Saint-Charles and most of the LSD of Saint-Louis-de-Kent.
Saint-Louis-de-Kent Mayor Danielle Dugas welcomed the approval of the request.
"The old scenario was that we remained two small municipalities among all the rest of the large municipalities, so for us, it was just natural to ask to join together," Dugas told Radio-Canada. "We are nonetheless a community with common interests, people go to Richibucto, come to Saint-Louis, we share schools, sports and our infrastructure."
Sackville and Dorchester had opposed the forced amalgamation of the communities. Both wrote to Daniel Allain, minister of local governance reform, calling for more time and a reconsideration of the plan.
Sackville Mayor Shawn Mesheau said in an interview both communities still have many unanswered questions about how the merger will work. He said the town wasn't flatly opposed to expansion of its borders.
"The biggest concern was the feeling of being pushed into this, it being a forced amalgamation," Mesheau said.
In Lac Baker, the village is planning a community meeting Dec. 28 to hear from residents about what their next steps should be.

The mayor, Pelletier, said about 80 per cent of residents had already signed a petition opposing the amalgamation but that was seemingly ignored by the province.
The village falls below a viability threshold of 4,000 people and a $200 million tax base the government used for stand-alone municipalities.
But Pelletier said there are other small communities like Fredericton Junction and Tracy left alone, making her question whether it was a political decision.
"We don't understand the decision. We feel that we have exactly what we need here — a government that would make local decisions on local issues. I would like government to understand how important it is to have that."
Allain, in a news release about the changes the province accepted, said the government "made adjustments to some proposed restructuring plans if they are consistent with the guiding principles of the reform."
A bill to enact much of the province's sweeping local governance reform passed in the legislature last week and received royal assent. New community boundaries are expected to be in place by January 2023.
Great example of cooperation and getting along between Richibouctou, Saint-Louis and a good portion of Kent North. Many could follow their example. 👍

With barely a peep of protest, the Higgs government's sweeping local government reform won final approval from the legislature Thursday.
The Progressive Conservative majority passed the reform package on third reading. Opposition parties didn't even demand a roll call vote to drag out the moment and force each MLA to record their vote individually.
A few members called out "no" votes but the process was perfunctory, given the bill's importance.
Passage of the legislation paves the way for the province to reduce 340 local government entities to just 78 municipalities and 12 rural districts.
It will also give new powers to regional service commissions to co-ordinate the delivery of programs between communities to avoid overlap and waste.
The reform is intended to address chronic local government problems that have built up for years, including the sharing and funding of local services and infrastructure, and the growth of urban sprawl just outside the taxation reach of cities, towns and villages.
The bill will become law Friday, when Lt.-Gov. Brenda Murphy grants royal assent to it and other pieces of legislation.
It gives the government a major policy win on an issue that three previous premiers have seen as too politically risky to tackle.
"A great majority of New Brunswickers are happy," Local Government Reform Minister Daniel Allain told reporters. "A great number of New Brunswickers have been advocating for change with municipal reform."
Daniel Allain, New Brunswick's minister of local governance reform, said there’s still a lot of work to do, including reaching decisions on alternate merger proposals from some communities. (CBC)
Still a lot of work to do, minister says
Allain said there's still a lot of work to do. He'll soon decide on alternate merger proposals from some communities.
But he said the small number of proposals, from about 10 out of 104 existing municipalities and around 20 out of 236 locate service districts, show that the reforms have been mostly accepted.
Opposition parties had demanded more time to debate the bill and a longer period for local communities to respond to the changes, but they didn't put up a major fight.
"We're not against the change, don't get me wrong," said Liberal Leader Roger Melanson. "But there are a lot of unknowns.
"What New Brunswickers want to know right now is not a matter of being for and against. It's getting more information to get a better understanding of what they really want to accomplish."
People's Alliance Leader Kris Austin said he wanted an extension of the deadline for municipalities to propose alternatives to what was laid out in Allain's Nov. 18 report.
Thursday was the deadline for submissions, and Allain is expected to finalize the makeup and boundaries of the 90 new local entities within days.
"I'm just hoping before then that the minister will reconsider and look at alternate options," said Austin, who said he wasn't completely opposed to the reforms either.
But Allain said that after months of meetings it was time to make decisions.
"We consulted all year. We have to move ahead."
Jean-Guy Finn, who delivered a detailed report on municipal reform in 2008, said Thursday that voluntary reform was never going to work. ((CBC))
Past governments avoided major changes
The last time a government looked at major reform was 2008, when retired civil servant Jean-Guy Finn delivered a detailed report to the Liberal government of premier Shawn Graham.
Graham promptly shelved the report.
His successors, Progressive Conservative David Alward and Liberal Brian Gallant, made some stabs at minor reforms but avoided major changes.
All of them adhered to the idea that any municipal mergers required approval of local residents in plebiscites, an obstacle the Higgs government is eliminating.
Finn said Thursday that voluntary reform was never going to work.
"That's been the difficulty in the last 12 years," he said. "Every time they tried to restructure, they tried to do it on a voluntary basis and it didn't work."
"For one reason or another, this government decided that they would proceed and lead the process."
Finn said he wasn't surprised that there was less controversy than expected.
"I was always under the impression that if the government of the day was to do the necessary explanation and articulation of what needed it to be done, it would be widely accepted, because the evidence and the data supporting this is so obvious."
Allain said that while Finn's report was shelved 13 years ago, it got municipalities and their associations talking about reform, paving the way for their support of his plan now.
Boundaries to be finalized by Jan. 1
The white paper released last month included a list of new municipal entities to be created by the mergers, based on a threshold that a community must have 4,000 people and a $200 million tax base to be considered viable.
He said he'll use that, and a municipality's dependence on unconditional grants from the province, to make decisions about the alternate proposals he's received.
"The white paper is not a bible, it's a road map," he said.
Allain said he looks favourably at discussions in Richibucto, Saint-Louis-de-Kent and nearby local service districts to go beyond his report and merge into a single entity rather than two.
He also said local service districts around Nackawic, Woodstock and Hartland are looking at joining those municipalities.
"It's spectacular to see what's happening," he said.
With boundaries finalized by Jan. 1, the next step will be starting the transition to the new entities.
Their names will be chosen by July 1 and the province will help them draft newly merged budgets by Sept. 30, which will be followed by elections in some entities in November.
"There's still a lot of work to do," Allain said.
Melanson said big questions remain to be resolved after 2022, including changes to the property tax system.

Several eastern New Brunswick communities say they want to join together and go further than mergers proposed in the province's local governance reforms.
"We want to go further in and make it work," Eric Tremblay, president of the Saint-Ignace local service district, said in an interview about a proposal submitted to the province.
The proposal calls for the merging of the Town of Richibucto, Village of Saint-Louis-de-Kent, as well as the local service districts of Saint-Ignace, Aldouane, Saint-Charles. It would also include most of the LSD of Saint-Louis-de-Kent.
Under the province's white paper outlining its local governance reform plans, the areas were going to be two separate communities anchored around the town and the village.
It's an example of tweaks to the province's sweeping overhaul sought ahead of the pending passage of legislation to implement those changes.
We know it's not sustainable to be everybody in their own little corner. If everybody can work together, it'll be a lot better than all working in little sections.
- Danielle Dugas, mayor of Saint-Louis-de-Kent
Community leaders sent a letter to Minister Daniel Allain asking to be combined and are waiting for a formal decision that could come by the end of the week.
"I think we knew we kind of knew this was coming and we were getting ready for it," Danielle Dugas, mayor of Saint-Louis-de-Kent, said in an interview about community mergers.
"And we know it's not sustainable to be everybody in their own little corner. If everybody can work together, it'll be a lot better than all working in little sections."

Tremblay said they want to have a seat at the table to make decisions rather than standing at the side and watching decisions be made for them. He said the region already works well together.
"Co-operation, it's embedded in our way of life here in Kent County," he said. "We are Francophone communities, Anglophone communities, Mi'kmaw communities, and we've been living together for well over 250 years, 300 years. It's not always rosy, we have our differences, but we're used to cooperating and helping each other."
The request offers a contrast to other parts of the province that are resistant to the changes the province has announced.
Some communities the province plans to amalgamate have spoken out against the plans, including Minto and Chipman, and Sackville about its merger with Dorchester. LSDs have voiced concerns about insufficient consultation held mainly through online meetings.
Tremblay said he can understand that some communities believe the changes don't meet their needs and may feel their voices weren't heard.
He said one community offers advantages in terms of planning community infrastructure, tourism promotion and business development and attraction.
He said they will need to be "vigilant" on the financing for new entities.
"I hope they will not repeat some errors that were done in the past where they amalgamated some communities without financing and new regulations, and financial tools to make it work," he said.
Dugas said with a larger tax base and population, the merged communities would hold more sway in dealing with the province.
As well, there are already community assets like a pool in her community, used mainly by people who live outside the village, but paid for by the village.
"This way, the whole region would pay, so it would be more equal for everybody," Dugas said.
Tremblay said there are other examples, like paying for arenas used regionally, that mean a merger makes sense.
Richibucto's mayor declined an interview before the province announces its decision on their proposal.
In an emailed statement attributed to the minister, the province said it is reviewing proposals and will announce decisions on those requests by the end of the week.

Allain has said he's open to some tweaks based on feedback from communities.
A spokesperson for the department didn't answer a question about how many requests for changes have been received so far.
Legislation to implement aspects of the reform plan is expected to receive third and final reading this week before the legislature breaks for the holidays.
A timeline released by the province indicates new community boundaries would be in place by January 2023.
Why is it that I was not surprised that nobody got back to me today???

I wonder why, since they’re going all the way to St-Ignace, that they are not also going to Rexton, Richibucto-Village and all the nearby areas to the south.

A counter story to all of the municipalities not supporting this change... and its confined to one LSD in the province. No merger of Rothesay & Quispamsis, no merger of Tracey & Fredericton Junction, heck even the LSD of White Head Island is not merger with Grand Manan.

Reply to @Kevin Cormier: The first two reek of political interference.
White Head Island might make sense to leave alone. They have their own fire department and are only connected by ferry. Miscou, on the other hand, was even part of a merger proposal with the various LSDs and villages of Lamèque Island a few years back yet it's somehow being left out of Lamèque's merger.

Immigrants are asking New Brunswick to become the only province in Canada to give people who aren't citizens but have permanent resident status the right to vote in municipal elections.
The Lost Votes Campaign, a grassroots initiative of permanent residents, is gathering support from municipal governments to change the law that allows only Canadian citizens to vote municipally.
Asif Hasan, CEO of Simptek Technologies in Fredericton and a permanent resident from Bangladesh, is one of the organizers calling for the vote — something permanent residents had in New Brunswick until 1997.
"I'm one of the 29,500 permanent residents in New Brunswick and we are the lost votes — 29,500 lost votes," Hasan said.

"There's a need for immigrants to have their representation because right now, our voice is muted."
Proponents say a bold decision to give permanent residents a voice could reap benefits for the province, with its aging population and shrinking workforce, and a rate of retaining immigrants of only 50 per cent after five years.
Voting rights could attract immigrants, or persuade them to stay, said Moncef Lakouas, president of the New Brunswick Multicultural Council.
"We have to come up with something that the big cities don't necessarily have," Lakouas said.
Liberals propose change
On Dec. 17, 2020, a bill to change the Municipal Elections Act to include permanent residents was introduced to the legislature by the Opposition Liberals.
"We wanted to force it through so Elections NB could get things going, to have things in place for permanent residents to vote this year," said Liberal MLA Keith Chiasson.
But there was no time to debate and vote on it before the legislature adjourned.
When the legislature resumes in May, Chiasson said, the Liberals will bring it forward for debate, and it's a priority for them.
Whether the provincial government will present its own bill or amend the existing one remains to be seen.

Who can and can't vote
Permanent residents in Canada have to wait about three years to start their citizenship application. In total, the process takes at least four to five years.
To vote in federal, provincial or municipal elections in Canada, all provinces require residents to be Canadian citizens.
But before 1997, this wasn't the case. At least not in New Brunswick's municipal elections.
According to Paul Harpelle from Elections NB, the only requirement to vote in municipal elections in New Brunswick before 1997 was being 18 years of age or older.
Paul Harpelle at Elections NB says a few weeks would be enough time to include permanent residents in the election database. (CBC)
In 1996, the Election Branch of what was then the department of municipalities, culture and housing filed an electoral reform report recommending that municipal election requirements mirror those of the province, which required citizenship to vote.
"It could result in an elector being on one list and not on another because of the difference in citizenship requirements," said Harpelle.
They wanted to standardize the requirements of provincial and municipal elections.
The motion passed in 1997, and from that year forward, permanent residents were not allowed to vote municipally.
Changing the system 'not complicated'
Harpelle said if the policy changes to allow permanent residents to vote, Elections NB would need about "a few weeks or a couple of months" to implement the change in the database and train staff.
The Elections NB database is a list of all electors in the province. Separate cells would have to be created for permanent residents.
"Our database is also shared with Elections Canada," Harpelle said. "They would have to be able to extract any electors that are not Canadian citizens for federal elections."
The process is not complicated, said Harpelle, who described the testing of it as the most time-consuming.
How it started
The idea of allowing permanent residents to vote in New Brunswick was first proposed in 2012 by Lakouas, an organizer of the Lost Votes Campaign.
After two years of research, he travelled across the province, pitching the idea to city councils.
Starting in 2014, councils in Dieppe, Moncton, Edmundston and Campbellton all voted in favour of giving permanent residents the right to vote.
But municipalities fall under the jurisdiction of the provincial government, so the proposal to extend vote had to be introduced as a bill in the legislature.

The idea was proposed to the Brian Gallant government, but it dropped down the list of priorities as a provincial election neared.
This year, the Lost Votes Campaign has reignited permanent resident's desire to vote and be heard.
An online petition in support of the campaign has been signed by 200 permanent residents of New Brunswick and been endorsed by Fredericton Mayor Mike O'Brien and other civic leaders, as well as the Fredericton Chamber of Commerce.
"The province has a stated desire to bring in 10,000 newcomers by 2027," O'Brien said. "If you're going to bring people in and make them feel part of the community, allowing them to vote municipally would be a big step."

Lakouas, who lives in Moncton, said the campaign is in constant talks with the province.
"We're hoping that Minister Allain will make this a priority as part of the provincial reform he's working on."
Minister of Local Government Daniel Allain wasn't available for an interview but sent an email statement to CBC News.
"Local governments across Canada have expressed an interest in extending permanent residents the right to vote," he wrote.
"Extending voting rights to permanent residents would be a fundamental change to New Brunswick's local government elections and a Canadian first. Extensive consultation would be required with the public and all affected stakeholders."
The arguments against it
One of the strongest arguments against allowing permanent residents the right to vote in municipal elections is it could discourage naturalization, where immigrants become citizens of a country.
According to Myer Siemiatycki, a politics professor at Ryerson University, there aren't many practical reasons or inducements to become a citizen in Canada, if you already are a permanent resident.
This is because there aren't a lot of differences in rights between being a Canadian permanent resident and a citizen.
Permanent residents cannot vote, get a passport, or certain jobs in the highest echelons of the federal and provincial public service.
That's about it, Siemiatycki said.

"And yet, I think what's impressive, and more people should be mindful of, is that Canada has the highest rate of immigrant naturalization of any country in the Western world," he said.
"Even though we don't give citizens necessarily a huge discrepancy or fringe benefits for becoming Canadians, they become citizens."
For all immigrants who have been in the country for three or more years, the rate of naturalization in Canada is 85 per cent.
The naturalization rate for U.S. immigrants is around 55 per cent.
Siemiatycki thinks Canadian immigrants develop an emotional attachment to the country, a sense of belonging and a "warm, fuzzy feeling" of acceptance from the government and this drives them to become citizens.
Something that would only grow if allowed to vote in municipal elections, proponents say.
The democratic process some immigrants take to heart
Espérance Balewula came to New Brunswick from South Africa through the Express Entry program in August 2018. She lives in the Greater Moncton area with her kids and her husband.
Balewula thinks allowing permanent residents to vote municipally will help its growth.
"I work, I pay taxes, and I contribute on a daily basis on the expansion of this province," she said.
"If our points are not counted on certain issues, how are we going to keep those permanent residents or immigrants in our community?"

Voter turnout for municipal elections is quite low in most New Brunswick municipalities.
According to Elections NB, voter turnout in Fredericton was 36.8 per cent in 2016. For some communities, like Florenceville-Bristol, it was around 13 per cent.
Voting in municipal elections seems to be of no interest to many Canadians, so why the desire to vote among some immigrants?
Lakouas said the ethnocultural vote in Canada is quite high because it's a right many immigrants could not practise in their own countries.
"Some people, their leaders are chosen for them. To be granted that opportunity to vote, and be part of that democratic process, is something that immigrants do take deeply to heart."
What about the rest of Canada?
Before the Charter of Rights and Freedoms was adopted, Canadian citizens and citizens from Commonwealth countries could vote in Canadian elections.
But with the charter, this became untenable, said Siemiatycki, since it was clear then that in Canada "you were discriminating under the basis of nationality."
Since then, provinces have made changes to their electoral legislation at different times.
But according to Siemiatycki, giving people a chance to be part of, contribute to and have a voice in their community is the best way to promote citizenship.
"And that should be the starting point of building an attachment to this country."
