Sussex grandmother sues Ottawa over passport denial
Shelley Baker is part of a lawsuit with two other Canadian women
· CBC News· Posted: Aug 10, 2020 5:54 PM AT
Shelley Baker says she wanted to go to Texas to help her stepson take care of her grandson when schools and daycares were closed because of COVID-19. (Submitted by Shelley Baker)
Shelley Baker says she is suing the federal government for violating her constitutional rights because she couldn't get her passport renewed and therefore, couldn't travel to Texas to help care for her family.
Baker, 61, along with two other Canadian applicants, are hoping to make the case that the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms protects their right to leave the country for any reason, and that Ottawa's decision to withhold or restrict passport services after March 19, is unreasonable and unlawful.
Baker says she had wanted to spend the summer near Belton, about an hour's drive north of Austin, where her stepson, Brian Postell, is raising his six-year-old son.
"My stepson is a military veteran and he has medical conditions and when the COVID hit, he just needed more help at home," she said.
However, Baker's passport expired in March and by March 19, Ottawa had closed its Service Canada and passport offices in response to the pandemic.
Program restricted

The federal government then restricted its passport program, only processing applications deemed necessary for valid urgent travel reasons.
According to the government web site Monday, Canadians with urgent travel needs may obtain passport services if they:
- have a serious illness, or must tend to the serious illness or death of another individual they have had a relationship with;
- suffer from economic hardships due to loss of job or business (the cost of an airline, bus or train ticket does not constitute economic hardship);
- or must travel for humanitarian grounds, supported by the requesting organization.
Plea denied
Shelley Baker said she wanted to spend the summer in Texas helping her step-son, Brian Postell take care of grandson, Landon Postell but could not renew her passport. (Submitted by Shelley Baker)
She tried to explain that her grandson had cochlear implants and her family had some other medical stresses and could have used her help caring for six-year-old Landon while school and daycares were closed for summer.
Baker said her plea was denied.
"The criteria was either the person travelling, or your family on the other end, had to be critical, like a near-death situation," she said.
"I didn't fall into that category. So from there, I had to tell my family that I wasn't able to [go.]"
Baker. along with Sonia Faye of Ontario and Diane Smith of Alberta, are represented by James Kitchen, a lawyer with the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms.
Passport essential
Kitchen says the charter protects every Canadian citizen's right to enter, remain in, and leave Canada and that a passport is essential to exercising that right.The notice of application, which was filed in the federal court in Calgary on July 27, says mobility rights are shared equally by all Canadian citizens, regardless of whether the reasons they want to travel are considered more "essential" or "valid" than others.
Kitchen told the CBC, a temporary interruption in passport service might have been understandable, given the pandemic, but it should have been fixed by now.
"It's been over five months," he said.
"People whose passports expired in March or April or May, who have been trying to renew their passports, have been unable to. Up until the end of July, they would not have been able even to submit their application and hope it was processed in any reasonable time."
No explanation provided
He says no explanation has been provided as to why the passport program didn't adjust.
"When you get into July and August where we are now, the situation is not extreme or dire. It's not complete chaos. If that were the case, people would not be trying to travel. We wouldn't have international flights," he said.
"There are lots of countries accepting travellers. There are lots of people wanting to travel for all kinds of personal reasons -- whether it's to visit family or do things they've waited to do for a long time."
"This [passport program] should have come back online earlier in the spring and it didn't."
Kitchen said the federal government has yet to file a response to his application, which seeks to direct the respondent, the minister of immigration, refugees and citizenship Canada to restore normal passport service, both in person and by mail.
Kitchen said he expects a hearing would probably be conducted online, and last about a day.
He added the federal court is efficient and the issue might be resolved in about six months.
Meanwhile Baker says she's still hoping to see her grandson.
She expects to apply for a passport renewal as soon as the program goes back to normal.
First, she says, she'll have to take another passport photo because the last one has already expired.
In an email to CBC News, a spokesperson for Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada said while the government's travel advisory against non-essential travel outside Canada remains in place, they do recognize the need to travel in some cases.
They said as of July 31, Canadians can again apply for a passport by mail or request an appointment for urgent processing if they must travel within 30 days.

Methinks all three ladies will have their new passports before the Crown files a response pointing out the fact that they no longer have a beef with the system that purportedly serves us N'esy Pas?
David Amos
Methinks a lot of my fellow Canadians are very tired of waiting on hold forever with Service Canada only to be told that you called the wrong number. Then much later you are told to send your stuff in the mail to some other province that has an office to handle your issues. Meanwhile we all know that most of the Canadian bureaucrats are out golfing or whatever and collecting full pay instead of the 2 grand others get because a virus has made it too deadly for any of them to do their job N'esy Pas?

It is sad to see this type of challenge happening again. People need to understand that while the charter does provide certain guarantees, it cannot in this case guarantee the place you want to go to will accept you without a passport.
The closure of the passport office does not affect a persons charter rights. It is a service and like all services can be changed, modified, sped up or slowed down. In this case it was temporarily closed because of the health emergency. Highly doubtful that this case will go anywhere.

Reply to @David Amos: Would not think they are out golfing or whatever. Certainly some might, but the majority would be working, likely from home remotely, with limited access to various databases and systems due to security concerns. So some accesses that could cause privacy breaches would be inaccessible, hence the temporary closure of the passport office. Way to much data exposure to have people logging in from home.

Reply to @David News: The courts have already ruled that refusal to issue a passport *is* a violation of Charter mobility rights. The real question is, was this reasonable under the conditions of the pandemic? That makes this case similar to those that have been launched re: restrictions on travelling from one province to another.
David News
Reply to @SarahRose Werner: SarahRose, they did not refuse. This is the type of nonsense that leaves common sense at the door. They temporarily closed down the office. Huge difference than refusal. The courts have talked about timely manner and in light of covid-19 this will go no where.

Canada’s decision to halt passport services during pandemic violated charter, court challenge alleges
The federal authorities’s decision to halt a big variety of passport services during the pandemic has been challenged in court with allegations that it denies Canadians’ freedom of mobility below the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
Three girls from throughout Canada are asking the Federal Court to overview the decision by Passport Canada to limit services to functions that officers deem “urgent.”
On March 19, the federal authorities shut down all Services Canada Centres and Passport Offices due to public well being issues over the unfold of the coronavirus.
The Passport Program then adopted an “ad hoc” method to solely settle for and course of functions for “valid urgent travel reasons.”
“The Charter protects mobility rights and provides that ‘(e)very citizen of Canada has the right to enter, remain in and leave Canada.’ The refusal to accept and process a passport application in a timely manner impairs this constitutional right,” mentioned the court application prepared by the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms filed late final month.
“The issuance of a passport is not a privilege to be bestowed on citizens by government when it is convenient. Rather, it’s a necessity for travel in and out of the country.”
The court challenge was initiated by Shelley Baker of New Brunswick, Sonia Faye of Ontario and Diane Smith of Alberta — all three have been instructed to wait till regular processing services resumed to apply for his or her passports.
Baker, who has well being and monetary struggles, mentioned she wanted a passport to go to her son within the United States, who she mentioned suffers post-traumatic stress dysfunction due to his service within the American armed forces.
Faye utilized for a passport on-line however was instructed by a Passport Program staffer that “she should not travel” and “should remain in Canada.” Smith’s passport expired in May and she or he merely wished to renew it on-line.
“There is no statutory objective achieved by continuing to refuse acceptance of passport applications that are not deemed ‘urgent’ enough, and to only process passport applications that are arbitrarily considered to be for ‘valid urgent travel reasons,’” the three girls argue of their court software.
On its web site, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada, the division answerable for working the Passport Program, listed what causes would qualify as “urgent”: medical emergency; deaths and funerals; monetary issues; to assist an important service; and humanitarian wants.
However, the reference to the “urgent” journey causes was faraway from the web site after the court challenge was served. Instead, officers now say mail-in service has resumed if somebody wants a passport in additional than 30 days and in-person services can be found by appointment if an individual wants a passport in lower than 30 days.
James Kitchen, lawyer for the Justice Centre, mentioned the court case shouldn’t be thought of moot regardless of the partial resumption of the passport services.

No listening to date has been set. The immigration division has but to file a response.

Good day, folks.
In the interest of demonstrating the general character of the sort of
people who plague us all — presently in the semi-literate form of
David Amos, via his emails of the past 24 hours — I offer up this
GLARING Hypocrisy post, entitled "Outing Gregory Arschlock & Other
Aliases of Kai Kieferle of Calgary, Alberta".
This was published on Monday, August 1, and has been shared widely
around the world since.
Also, to learn more about the historical context and the supreme
urgency of the situation at hand, the essay "Toppling the Jew World
Order: It’s Now or Never!" was the opening post of GLARING Hypocrisy,
launched on June 16, 2016. The essay has since been shared more than
3,000 times on social media, including via the Renegade Tribune site,
on which it was cross-posted.
Please feel free to help either or both of these posts get further
afield still by sharing with your circles of influence and
acquaintance, et al.
With warm regards,
Sean P.S. Thank you, Al — on behalf of free men and women everywhere
— for giving voice, below, to what you know about David Amos and his

RE CBC censorship and My last call to David Fraser of McInnes & Cooper
about such things he yaps about constanty within CBC
Well the comment section started out pretty could with CBC acting in
an ethical fashion and not blocking any comments of mine until a
couple of their favourite Trolls pounced on me. As soon as I responded
the blocking began almost instantly. I registered my indignation and
those comments were blocked as well so I quit for the day.
I had had enough of David Fraser and his bullshit today. Trust that I
will try to call the other two lawyers mentioned within this article
tomorrow.
http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/
"The Canadian Transportation Agency and an air passenger rights
activist are engaged in an online battle that pits freedom of
expression against a government agency's right to delete negative
comments from its social media accounts.
Gabor Lukacs has won 24 of 27 court cases against airlines, which were
taken to the agency. Recently, he posted "5 Reasons not to Trust the
Canadian Transportation Agency" on the agency's Facebook page.
The post compares the number of air passenger complaints in recent
years to the dwindling number of enforcement actions against airlines.
It also names some agency employees, including Doug Smith, its chief
dispute officer.
The post includes a discipline history of Smith from the Law Society
of Upper Canada in 2004, when he was suspended from practising law."

CBC is is not a governmental body. It is not subject to s. 2(b) of the Charter.

@Gabor Lukacs The CBC is tax payer funded and should be subject to the charter.

Date: 20151223
Docket: T-1557-15
Fredericton, New Brunswick, December 23, 2015
PRESENT: The Honourable Mr. Justice Bell
BETWEEN:
DAVID RAYMOND AMOS
Plaintiff
and
HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN
Defendant
ORDER
(Delivered orally from the Bench in Fredericton, New Brunswick, on
December 14, 2015)
The Plaintiff seeks an appeal de novo, by way of motion pursuant to
the Federal Courts Rules (SOR/98-106), from an Order made on November
12, 2015, in which Prothonotary Morneau struck the Statement of Claim
in its entirety.
At the outset of the hearing, the Plaintiff brought to my attention a
letter dated September 10, 2004, which he sent to me, in my then
capacity as Past President of the New Brunswick Branch of the Canadian
Bar Association, and the then President of the Branch, Kathleen Quigg,
(now a Justice of the New Brunswick Court of Appeal). In that letter
he stated:
As for your past President, Mr. Bell, may I suggest that you check the
work of Frank McKenna before I sue your entire law firm including you.
You are your brother’s keeper.
Frank McKenna is the former Premier of New Brunswick and a former
colleague of mine at the law firm of McInnes Cooper. In addition to
expressing an intention to sue me, the Plaintiff refers to a number of
people in his Motion Record who he appears to contend may be witnesses
or potential parties to be added. Those individuals who are known to
me personally, include, but are not limited to the former Prime
Minister of Canada, The Right Honourable Stephen Harper; former
Attorney General of Canada and now a Justice of the Manitoba Court of
Queen’s Bench, Vic Toews; former member of Parliament Rob Moore;
former Director of Policing Services, the late Grant Garneau; former
Chief of the Fredericton Police Force, Barry McKnight; former Staff
Sergeant Danny Copp; my former colleagues on the New Brunswick Court
of Appeal, Justices Bradley V. Green and Kathleen Quigg, and, retired
Assistant Commissioner Wayne Lang of the Royal Canadian Mounted
Police.
In the circumstances, given the threat in 2004 to sue me in my
personal capacity and my past and present relationship with many
potential witnesses and/or potential parties to the litigation, I am
of the view there would be a reasonable apprehension of bias should I
hear this motion. See Justice de Grandpré’s dissenting judgment in
Committee for Justice and Liberty et al v National Energy Board et al,
[1978] 1 SCR 369 at p 394 for the applicable test regarding
allegations of bias. In the circumstances, although neither party has
requested I recuse myself, I consider it appropriate that I do so.
AS A RESULT OF MY RECUSAL, THIS COURT ORDERS that the Administrator of
the Court schedule another date for the hearing of the motion. There
is no order as to costs.
“B. Richard Bell”
Judge
Below after the CBC article about your concerns (I made one comment
already) you will find the text of just two of many emails I had sent
to your office over the years since I first visited it in 2006.
I noticed that on July 30, 2009, he was appointed to the the Court
Martial Appeal Court of Canada Perhaps you should scroll to the
bottom of this email ASAP and read the entire Paragraph 83 of my
lawsuit now before the Federal Court of Canada?

Jason Erb interviews Arthur Topham on Exposing Faux Capitalism, October 16, 2014
October 16, 2014 by FauxCapitalist
On a special October 16, 2014 episode of Exposing Faux Capitalism, I
interviewed Arthur Topham, who has been charged as a political thought
criminal for allegedly violating Canada’s Criminal Code provisions for
“willfully promoting hatred,” for his writings at his site,
RadicalPress.com.
In this interview, the issues we discussed included:
- The Ontario Civil Liberties Association supporting his case and
calling for a repeal of all “hate crime” provisions in the Criminal
Code and circulating a petition calling for the B.C. Attorney General
to revoke her consent for the prosecution of Arthur Topham.
– He was charged with a crime after the Human Rights Commission was no
longer to hear so-called hate cases in 2012.
– The tight control of the media and the blackout on mass media
coverage of his case ever since November 2012 with a single National
Post article.
– The phony media, with so-called liberal newspapers like the Toronto
Star not making counter-point arguments to the supposed right-wing
National Post newspaper on their article.
– The inconsistencies in the charge and with his prosecution.
– The Charter of Rights and Freedoms guarantees those charged “to be
tried within a reasonable time,” yet he was charged in 2012, and his
trial has finally been scheduled for October 2015.
– The political nature of the crime, with the Attorney General of the
province having to sign off on it.
– The selective application of the law, with others not prosecuted,
despite doing similar or more things than Arthur Topham did.
