David Raymond Amos Versus The Crown T-1557-15
1. HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN (Crown) is Elizabeth II, the Queen of
England, the Protector of the Faith of the Church of England, the
longest reigning monarch of the United Kingdom and one of the
wealthiest persons in the world. Canada pays homage to the Queen
because she remained the Head of State and the Chief Executive Officer
of Canada after the Canada Act 1982 (U.K.) 1982, c. 11 came into force
on April 17, 1982. The standing of the Queen in Canada was explained
within the 2002 Annual Report FORM 18-K filed by Canada with the
United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). It states as
follows:
“The executive power of the federal Government is vested in the
Queen, represented by the Governor General, whose powers are exercised
on the advice of the federal Cabinet, which is responsible to the
House of Commons. The legislative branch at the federal level,
Parliament, consists of the Crown, the Senate and the House of
Commons.”
“The executive power in each province is vested in the Lieutenant
Governor, appointed by the Governor General on the advice of the
federal Cabinet. The Lieutenant Governor’s powers are exercised on the
advice of the provincial cabinet, which is responsible to the
legislative assembly. Each provincial legislature is composed of a
Lieutenant Governor and a legislative assembly made up of members
elected for a period of five years.”

1. SUMMARY: TRUDEAU'S CHIEF POLITICAL ADVISOR JIM COUTTS
TOLD ME NOVEMBER 3 THAT ONLY WAY HE CAN NOW SEE FOR TRUDEAU
TO CLIMB OUT OF HIS SLUMP IS TO GET THE ECONOMY MOVING AGAIN
TOWARDS HIGHER REAL GROWTH AND LOWER UNEMPLOYMENT. COUTTS
SEES THE MACKENZIE VALLEY PIPELINE AND GOOD RELATIONS WITH THE
U.S. PLAYING A KEY ROLE IN DOING SO. END SUMMARY.
2. COUTTS STARTED OUT BY SAYING THAT NO NON-ECONOMIC ISSUE
WILL GIVE TRUDEAU A CHANCE TO RECOUP FROM THE CURRENT POLITICAL
SLUMP. FEW PEOPLE ARE INTERESTED IN PATRIATING THE
CONSTITUTION, AND THOSE THAT ARE TEND MORE TO OPPOSE THAN
SUPPORT TRUDEAU. IF THE LIBERALS DO BADLY IN THE QUEBEC
PROVINCIAL ELECTION, (AS COUTTS EXPECTS THEY WILL), CANADIAN
FEDERATION WOULD BE SHAKEN, BUT IT'S DOUBTFUL THAT MANY PEOPLE
WOULD TURN TO TRUDEAU AGAIN AS A SAVIOR. MORE LIKELY, THE
PREDOMINANT REACTION WOULD BE: "IF WE'VE HAD A FRENCH-CANADIAN
PREMIER FOR EIGHT YEARS AND COULDN'T AVOID THIS, MAYBE WE
SHOULD GET AN ENGLISH-CANADIAN." FOREIGN POLICY ISSUES
(EXCEPT, COUTTS ADMITTED, SUGGESTION OF MISMANAGING THE U.S.
RELATIONSHIP) CUT LITTLE ICE WITH THE ELECTORATE. NATIONALIST
CONSTITUENCIES APPEAR TO BE SHRINKING SIGNIFICANTLY, AND THERE
WILL BE LITTLE PERCENTAGE AND POSSIBLY MAJOR LOSS FOR THE
PRIME MINISTER IN ATTEMPTING TO CULTIVATE THEM. ALTHOUGH
COUTTS WAS GLAD THAT THE PRIME MINISTER IS HARD AT WORK AGAIN
CONFIDENTIAL
CONFIDENTIAL
PAGE 02 OTTAWA 04442 061320Z
MENDING FENCES, HE RECOGNIZED THAT SIMPLE HARD WORK IS NOT
GOING TO RESTORE TRUDEAU TO POPULAR ESTEEM. "NOBODY LIKES
HIM ENOUGH FOR THAT," AND THE ONLY WAY FOR TRUDEAU TO COME
OUT ON TOP IS TO BE ABLE TO EXERCISE HIS LEADERSHIP ABILITY.
"THE PUBLIC RESPONDS TO THAT AND ONLY THAT IN TRUDEAU",
COUTTS SAID.
3. COUTTS' CONCLUSION WAS THAT THE ONLY WAY FOR TRUDEAU
TO PULL UP IS THROUGH BETTER ECONOMIC PERFORMANCE. THE
CARTER ADMINISTRATION MIGHT RUN THE U.S. ECONOMY A LITTLE
FASTER THAN A FORD ADMINISTRATION, BUT COUTTS COULD NOT SEE
HOW THE AMERICAN ECONOMY COULD GET GOING EARLY ENOUGH AND FAST
ENOUGH (MAYBE AT HIGHER THAN 6 PERCENT REAL INCREASE IN GNP)
TO PULL CANADA INTO A BOOM. CONSUMER CONFIDENCE IS HOLDING
UP PRETTY WELL IN CANADA, AND THAT COMBINED WITH STEADY
GROWTH IN THE STATES IS PRODUCING REASONABLE GROWTH HE.
BUT THIS YEAR'S FIVE PERCENT GROWTH MAY SHADE OFF TOWARDS FOUR
NEXT YEAR, AND UNEMPLOYMENT IS LIKELY TO BE HIGH AND SLIGHTLY
RISING (ABOVE SEVEN PERCENT). IN THAT FRAMEWORK, COUTTS
THINKS THAT VOTER INTEREST WILL SHIFT FROM INFLATION TO
JOBS AND PROSPERITY, AND HE IS URGING TRUDEAU TO BEGIN THINKING
NOW HOW HE CAN GET THE ECONOMY MOVING AGAIN. ONE READY
INSTRUMENT WOULD BE LOOSER MONETARY POLICY WHICH THE BANK OF
CANADA WOULD RESIST, BUT WHICH THE GOVERNMENT IS CONSIDERING
DIRECTING THE BANK TO CARRY OUT.
4. IN ORDER TO SET THE TONE, COUTTS SAID, SOME DRAMATIC,
LONG-TERM ECONOMIC COMMITMENT WOULD BE DESIRABLE AND PERHAPS
EVEN NECESSARY. ONLY CANDIDATE AT THIS MOMENT IS THE MACKENZIE
VALLEY (OR CONCEIVABLY THE ALCAN) PIPELINE. CONSTRUCTION OF
THE PIPELINE WOULD SET A COURSE FOR THE ECONOMY FOR AS MUCH
AS A DECADE; PROVIDE WORK IN CONSTRUCTION AND SUPPLY INDUSTRIES
(NOTABLY THE SOFT STEEL INDUSTRIES) THROUGHOUT CANADA; AND SHARPLY
CHANGE THE TONE AND DIRECTION OF RELATIONS WITH U.S. COUTTS
SAID THAT HE HAD HAD THREE CONVERSATIONS SINCE JULY WITH THE
PRIME MINISTER TO THIS EFFECT, AND THE PRIME MINISTER ALSO
"SEES THE PIPELINE AS A MAJOR ECONOMIC AND THEREFORE POLITICAL
OPPORTUNITY." THE CONTROVERSY OVER NATIVE CLAIMS AND THE
DEVELOPMENT OF THE MACKENZIE VALLEY WOULD OF COURSE BE A MAJOR
OBSTACLE. FOR THIS REASON, U.S. SUPPORT WOULD BE ESSENTIAL.
HOWEVER IT WOULD BE POLITCALLY NECESSARY FOR CANADA TO ACT
CONFIDENTIAL
CONFIDENTIAL
PAGE 03 OTTAWA 04442 061320Z
FIRST, SINCE "THE NATIONALISTS WOULD BEAT US TO DEATH" IF
CANADA WERE MERELY REACTING TO AN AMERICAN PROPOSAL. FOR
ALL OF THESE REASONS, COUTTS IS ADVISING THE PRIME MINISTER
TO TAKE THE LEAD ON THE PIPELINE ISSUE EARLY NEXT YEAR,
PERHAPBEFORE SUBMISSION OF THE NEB PIPELINE REPORT, NOW
SCHEDULED FOR MAY 1ST.
5. COMMENT: COUTTS IS NO AMATEUR AT POLITICS, BEING WIDELY
REGARDED HERE AS ONE OF THE TWO OR THREE MORE SKILLED
OPERATIVES IN THE BUSINESS. NO NATIONALIST (UNLIKE TRUDEAU'S
OTHER MAIN POLITICAL ADVISOR, TORONTO SENATOR KEITH DAVIES)
HE HAS ALWAYS BEEN ATTRACTED TO THE MACKENZIE VALLEY PIPE-
LINE, BUT IT IS A MEASURE OF THE SERIOUSNESS WITH WHICH LIBERAL
POLITICIANS ARE TAKING THE TRUDEAU DECLINE THAT COUTTS SHOULD
REACH OUT FOR THE PIPELINE, BETTER RELATIONS WITH THE U.S.,
AND STIMULUS FOR JOBS AS THE ONLY REMAINING WAYS OUT.

Dear Shareholders：
2014 was an unusual year for the Company. The world economic recovery
has hardly moved forward and China's economy has shifted gear to the
"New Normal" medium-to-high growth rate. Since the second half of the
year, international oil prices have plunged, reaching a hefty 50%
decrease by the end of the year. This plummet strongly affected the
oil industry all over the world, bringing with it a "cold winter". The
Company, whose business is primarily oil and gas exploration and
development, has sensed the pinch of the "cold winter".
The "cold winter" struck a serious blow against the Company's
development, investment strategy, as well as its operational
management. Facing the challenges, we continued to follow the "New
Leap Forward" blueprint and determined to build our competitive edge
in order to achieve sustainable development. We have strengthened our
confidence, worked hand in hand to map out our long-term strategy and
tackled the immediate problems, and achieved solid progress in
different areas of our business.
First, to solidify our business foundation and continue to focus our
effort on exploration and development. The volatility of oil prices is
an inherent risk for the oil industry. We did not expand recklessly
when oil prices are high, nor did we bring ourselves to a standstill
simply because oil prices temporarily plummeted. In 2014, the
Company's overall production and operations have remained stable. We
were able to meet our operational targets and further enhanced our
overall competitiveness.

The information contained herein has been reviewed by Kevin G. Lynch,
Deputy Minister of Finance, Canada and is included herein on his
authority. Certain information contained in this Exhibit has been
extracted or compiled from public official documents of Canada, which
include statistical data subject to revision. Canada is sometimes
referred to as the “Government of Canada” or the “Government” in this
Exhibit.
CANADA
GENERAL INFORMATION
Area and Population
Canada is the second largest country in the world, with an area of
9,984,670 square kilometers of which about 891,163 square kilometers
are covered by fresh water. The occupied farm land is about 7% and the
productive forest land is about 24% of the total area. The population
on July 1, 2002 was estimated to be 31.4 million. Approximately 64% of
Canada’s population lives in metropolitan areas of which Toronto,
Montreal and Vancouver are the largest. Most of Canada’s population
lives within 325 kilometers of the United States border.
Form of Government
Canada is a federal state composed of ten provinces and three
territories. In 1867, the United Kingdom Parliament adopted the
British North America Act, which established the Canadian federation
comprised of, at that time, the Provinces of Ontario, Québec, Nova
Scotia and New Brunswick. Since then, six additional provinces
(Manitoba, British Columbia, Prince Edward Island, Saskatchewan,
Alberta and Newfoundland and Labrador), along with the Yukon
Territory, the Northwest Territories and the new territory of Nunavut
(which was carved out of the Northwest Territories on April 1, 1999),
have become parts of Canada.
The British North America Act (which has been renamed the Constitution
Act, 1867) gave the Parliament of Canada legislative power in relation
to a number of matters including all matters not assigned exclusively
to the legislatures of the provinces. These powers now include matters
such as defense, the raising of money by any mode or system of
taxation, the regulation of trade and commerce, the public debt, money
and banking, interest, bills of exchange and promissory notes,
navigation and shipping, extra-provincial transportation, aerial
navigation and, with some exceptions, telecommunications. The
provincial legislatures have exclusive jurisdiction in such areas as
education, municipal institutions, property and civil rights,
administration of justice, direct taxation for provincial purposes and
other matters of purely provincial or local concern.
The executive power of the federal Government is vested in the Queen,
represented by the Governor General, whose powers are exercised on the
advice of the federal Cabinet, which is responsible to the House of
Commons. The legislative branch at the federal level, Parliament,
consists of the Crown, the Senate and the House of Commons. The Senate
has 105 seats. There are 24 seats each for the Maritime Provinces,
Québec, Ontario and Western Canada, 6 for Newfoundland and 1 each for
the three territories. Senators are appointed by the Governor General
on the advice of the federal Cabinet and hold office until age 75. The
House of Commons has 301 members, elected by voters in single-member
constituencies. The leader of the political party that gains the most
seats in each general election is usually invited by the Governor
General to be Prime Minister and to form the Government. The Prime
Minister selects the members of the federal Cabinet from among the
members of the House of Commons and the Senate (in practice almost
entirely from the former). The House of Commons is elected for a
period of five years, subject to earlier dissolution upon the
recommendation of the Prime Minister or because of the Government’s
defeat in the House of Commons on a vote of no confidence.
The most recent general election was held on November 27, 2000. As a
result of that election the Liberal Party forms the Government. The
distribution of seats in the House of Commons is as follows: the
Liberal Party has 169 seats, the Canadian Alliance Party has 63 seats,
the Bloc Québécois has 35 seats, the New Democratic Party has 14 seats
and the Progressive Conservative Party has 14 seats. There are 3
independent members and 3 vacant seats.
The executive power in each province is vested in the Lieutenant
Governor, appointed by the Governor General on the advice of the
federal Cabinet. The Lieutenant Governor’s powers are exercised on the
advice of the provincial cabinet, which is responsible to the
legislative assembly. Each provincial legislature is composed of a
Lieutenant Governor and a legislative assembly made up of members
elected for a period of five years. The practice of selecting the
provincial premier and the provincial cabinet in each province follows
that described for the federal level, as does dissolution of a
legislature.

The judicial branch of government in Canada is composed of an
integrated set of courts created by federal and provincial law. At the
federal level there are two principal courts, the Supreme Court of
Canada which is the highest appeal court in Canada and the Federal
Court of Canada which, among other things, deals with federal revenue
laws and claims involving the Government. Judges of the two federally
constituted courts and those of the provincial superior and county
courts are appointed by the Governor General on the advice of the
federal Cabinet and hold office during good behavior until age 70 or
75. Judges of the magistrates courts (commonly now known as provincial
courts) are appointed by the provincial government and usually hold
office until age 65 or 70.
Constitutional Reform
In April 1982, Her Majesty the Queen proclaimed the Constitution Act,
1982, terminating British legislative jurisdiction over Canada’s
Constitution. The Constitution Act, 1982 provides that Canada’s
Constitution may be amended pursuant to an amending formula contained
therein and contains the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms,
including the linguistic rights of Canada’s two major language groups.
The government of Québec did not sign the constitutional agreement
which led to the repatriation of the Canadian Constitution and the
proclamation of the Constitution Act, 1982. Although Québec is legally
bound by the Constitution Act, 1982, the government of Québec set out
five conditions for accepting the legal legitimacy of the Act.
Discussions on those principles led on April 30, 1987 at Meech Lake to
a unanimous agreement by First Ministers on principles respecting each
of Québec’s conditions.
A constitutional resolution to give effect to the Meech Lake Accord
was adopted by Parliament and eight provinces before the deadline for
ratification on June 23, 1990. In the absence of ratification by
Newfoundland and Manitoba, the amendment was not adopted. In the wake
of this event, the most extensive series of public consultations on
constitutional matters ever to occur in Canada began through the work
of both provincial and federal commissions and committees, among other
things. Recommendations produced by this process were then assessed by
a series of multilateral negotiations involving the federal,
provincial and territorial governments and four national Aboriginal
organizations, held from April to July 1992. Agreement was reached on
a wide range of constitutional issues through the multilateral process
which led to a First Ministers’ Conference held in Charlottetown in
August 1992.
The Charlottetown Accord was an extensive package of reforms agreed
upon by the federal, provincial and territorial governments and the
four Aboriginal organizations. On October 26, 1992 Canadians were
asked in a referendum if they agreed that the Constitution of Canada
should be renewed on the basis of the Charlottetown agreement. A
majority of Canadians in a majority of the provinces, including a
majority in Québec and a majority of Status Indians living on
reserves, declined to provide such a mandate. Consequently,
governments set aside the constitutional issue and announced their
intention to concentrate on social and economic initiatives that do
not require constitutional change.
Québec
Since September 1994, Québec has been governed by the Parti Québécois,
whose platform calls for Québec’s accession to independence. On
October 30, 1995, the government of Québec held a consultative
referendum under provincial law, seeking a mandate to secede from
Canada and proclaim Québec’s independence, after having made a formal
offer of a new economic and political partnership between Québec and
the rest of Canada. The government’s proposal was rejected by a vote
of 50.6% against and 49.4% in favour, with a participation rate of
93%. While all sides accepted the 1995 referendum results, the Parti
Québécois has not abandoned the goal of achieving independence for
Québec.
The Government of Canada and the governments of a number of provinces
outside Québec have taken a series of initiatives since the 1995
referendum aimed at reinforcing Canadian unity, including
non-constitutional measures (notably on provincial responsibility for
labour market programs), demonstrating openness to Québecers’
aspirations, as well as making efforts to clarify the rules governing
any future referendum and the possible consequences of a Québec
secession.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Table of Contents
In September 1996, the Government of Canada referred a series of legal
questions to the Supreme Court of Canada with a view to clarifying, at
both domestic and international law, whether the government of Québec
has the right to secede from Canada unilaterally. On August 20, 1998,
the Supreme Court rendered judgment, ruling that the government of
Québec cannot, under either the Constitution of Canada or
international law, legally effect the unilateral secession of Québec
from Canada. The Supreme Court also stated that, if a clear majority
of Québecers were to clearly and unambiguously express their will to
secede, all governments in Canada would then have a constitutional
obligation to enter into negotiations to address the potential act of
secession as well as its possible terms should, in fact, secession
proceed.
On June 29, 2000, the Government of Canada enacted a law to give
effect to the requirement for clarity set out in the opinion of the
Supreme Court. That law requires the House of Commons to assess, prior
to any future referendum on the secession of a province, whether the
referendum question made clear that the province would cease to be
part of Canada and become an independent country. The law further
requires that, after the vote itself, the House of Commons also assess
whether there appeared to be a clear majority in support of the
question. Only if both these conditions were met would the Government
of Canada be authorized to enter into negotiations which might lead to
the constitutional amendments required to effect secession.
In September 1997, the Premiers of the nine provinces other than
Québec met in Calgary to launch public consultations on a set of
declaratory principles, including a recognition of the unique
character of Québec society within Canada, which seek to frame the
fundamental values underlying the Canadian federation. Over the winter
and spring of 1998, the legislatures of all nine provinces
participating in the Calgary process passed resolutions of support for
the principles set out in the Calgary declaration.
On November 30, 1998, the Parti Québecois government was re-elected
with a majority of seats (75 out of 125) in Québec’s National
Assembly, though with a vote count of 42% of the votes cast, slightly
below that received by the main opposition party, the federalist
Liberal Party of Québec, which won 48 seats. A third party, the Action
Démocratique du Québec, which advocates a moratorium on further
referenda on secession, took 12% of the votes cast and won 1 seat.

>> More Fat Girl And Dyke Girls Stupid Shopping Tricks!
>>
>> So here is another day, another retailing sales day, and day of
>> incredibly stupid women, indulging themselves in stupid behavior
>> whilst shopping at Mark's. But alas this sort of stupidity goes on
>> everywhere in the retailing world.
>>
>> Two mannish and desperately wanting to look "young" dykes approached
>> the cash desk of Mark's today. They both were short, short haired,
>> stocky, loud, obnoxious, and disgusting. They brought an expensive
>> Columbia Winter jacket to the cashier, complaining that 'Columbia
>> doesn't like larger women,' and "the coat smells of mildew, so we want
>> a discount." The cashier asked the shift leader to smell the coat, and
>> of course there was no smell of mildew. Our two dykes dragooned a
>> passing by customer into smelling the coat. Again there was no
>> offending mildew odour detected.
>>
>> The more heavy set of the two dykes, who was wearing a strap on dildo,
>> that could be seen bulging through her jeans, tried to menacingly
>> intimidate the cashier by saying. " If my "wife" says it smells, it
>> smells!" The store's shift leader told the two animals simply, no!"
>> Not I'm sorry but no. Not I'm sorry we can't give you a discount.
>> Just, no! Finally the dykes looked at each other, nodded and
>> acquiesced to the ticketed price of the jacket, and purchased it. The
>> two LGBTQ animals couldn't bring themselves to, just leave the store,
>> without making a comment about how "unreasonable" and on a "power
>> trip" the "help" was!
>>
>> Earlier in the retail day a profoundly obese woman, wearing a
>> "pleather" mini-skirt, a "flash dance" sort of over the shoulder
>> sweatshirt, dyed jet black hair, and heavily made up with cheap make
>> up, wanted high boots. "Hefty girl" tried on pair, after pair, style,
>> after style, and left boots and boxes strewn everywhere. None of the
>> boots, none of them, she could get over her very fat calves! Her fat
>> calves would overflow and hung over the boots looking grotesque.
>>
>> The "stupid fat girl" tried on size 10s then size 12s, then size 6s,
>> lace up boots, zip up boots, and pull up boots. She grunted, groaned,
>> wailed and cried. She stood in front of the mirror indulging her
>> 'inner woman" hoping against hope, and reason that some way some how
>> she could stuff those fat flabby calves into a boot, any boot. Finally
>> our womanly shopper, cried aloud, stamped her foot, tossed a piece of
>> tissue packing paper into the air and... "gave up the ghost!" As she
>> walked out the door she passed me saying to the sales girls. "I guess
>> I left a mess you for to clean up," with a smile. Her grin disappeared
>> when a near by man's voice exclaimed...."Stupid fat girl!"
>>
>> Later in the day I found myself at the neighbourhood Safeway. I
>> approached one of the cashier queues. In line were two whilst not
>> obese women, women wearing yoga pants that had no business being any
>> where near spandex or Lycra. Both these hefty bimbos wore tops that
>> accentuated, and displayed copious cleavage, to distract from their
>> fat asses. One of the "women" had just emptied out her hand basket
>> onto the conveyor, put a divider on the belt, and threw her basket
>> into or onto the stack of them, but in the basket was a package of raw
>> hamburger, our fat bimbo decided she didn't want or couldn't afford. I
>> didn't say anything. But I did put my hand basket down, took the
>> hamburger and returned it to the refrigerated meat case. I returned to
>> the queue, the cashier looked at me, and said, "thank you!" The two
>> ton bimbo looked at me and told me, that "the staff ought to do that."
>> I told fat girl. "No YOU ought to do that! People's health ought NOT
>> be put at risk, because YOU have decided to spend your life being fat,
>> lazy and stupid." The "lady's" eyes bulged out of her pudgy head, her
>> ample and half naked chest heaved, and "she" couldn't catch her
>> breath, her mouth gaped open, and before "it" could speak...I told
>> her, "don't get mad, don't go away mad, just get the fuck out of here
>> before you make some poor soul sick!"
>>
>> The two "butt sisters" waddled out the door, and a Safeway employee I
>> have known for many years Stephanie, came to me and said. "Are you
>> being bad again?" Yes Mam! I told her.
>>
>> Stephanie looked at me, her beautiful eyes twinkled, and said! Good!

>>
>> Gwen smiles at me, my knees as always turn to jelly and she says! "
>> Am I so lucky that, you are in Lori's doghouse again?" No, I replied,
>> I 'm getting a battery for my watch, and I couldn't, not, come say hi

>>
>> The older woman in her early forties with the most beautiful lavender

>>
>> It was at this juncture that our sexual deviate friend piped up to

>> We didn't plan to have Thanksgiving dinner until Monday, so Sunday I

>> testing supplies. We have dealt with, or patronized this pharmacy, and
>> have known these pharmacists for many many years. "Since Christ was

>> not unattractive yet rude young lady.""I'll need you to wait at the
>> sign at the back of the line for the privacy of our customers." In a
>> very polite and respectful manner, and tone.
>>
>> It was just after 10 AM this holiday Sunday morning, and the store was
>> almost deserted. I deliberately came at this time of day because
>> getting together 3 months of meds, and diabetic supplies takes a short
>> while. Our rude, yet fashionably, well dressed and made up bimbo,
>> snapped the bubble gum she was chewing, stamped her foot, waited a
>> about a nano-second, and loudly exclaimed! "Will you just stop, and
>> take me to where the canned pumpkin is!"
>>
>> "Jenna" stopped, looked at our outraged intellectually deficient, in a
>> rush bimbo, and picked up the phone, asked for assistance from
>> customer service," smiled at her, and told her someone would be with
>> her momentarily. For some reason this enraged our young bimbo, but
>> before she could have a womanly tantrum a grocery clerk arrived at the
>> scene to escort the extremely vexed woman to the canned pumpkin.
>>
>> "Jenna" looked at me laughed and said. "I wouldn't haven't a clue
>> where the canned pumpkin is!" I told "Jenna." It seemed to me awe
>> fully stupid to think a health care professional, the people that fill
>> your prescriptions, administer flue injections, give health advice,
>> and so on, would know where the canned pumpkin is, or it being part
>> of their job to escort stupid shoppers to the canned goods!
>>
>> As I was walking past the customer service desk to leave the store,

>> ill treated by a "rude pharmacist," with her obviously not too bright
>> "domestic partner" standing beside her. I looked at the head cashier /

>> I mouthed the words, "she's nuts!" The bimbo's "hubby" saw the

>> Stupid David Staples, Chelsea Boos, "Public Art," And A Soon To Be Dead
>> Squaw
>>
>> If you go to the MEC (mountain equipment co-op store) you will see a
>> display of what some retards call "public art." They're called "yarn
>> bombs," they're knitted "sweaters" for trees, tree branches, bike
>> racks, and anything standing stationary the "artist" think may get
>> cold. Now this "expression of public art," this what Chelsea Boos and
>> David Staples call "playfulness in public places,' has been there for
>> a few short weeks. This so called "public art" if it wasn't nothing
>> more than an eyesore before, certainly is now. These "yarn bombs" are
>> now extremely weather worn, dilapidated, torn, and nothing more than
>> an eyesore in what's normally a very nice, and respectable
>> semi-residential / commercial neighbourhood.
>>
>> This morning, a few short hours ago, at 2 AM, at the 24 hour Shopper's
>> Drug Mart Store, there was a dirty squaw. She or it had a dirty face,
>> wearing torn and dirty pyjama bottoms, had greasy hair, and was
>> carrying a cloth shopping bag. This injin squaw, this I would imagine
>> soon to be missing, and hopefully dead squaw, stopped at a very large
>> concrete planter / ashtray, and proceeded to examine each and every
>> filthy cigarette butt, to see if it were "smokable."
>>
>> After our "proud aboriginal woman" had finished her inspection of the
>> cigarette butts, and finding none to smoke, she or it moved a few feet
>> down the side of the Shoppers Drug Mart Store, reached into her cloth
>> shopping bag, and pulled out a large can of spray paint. Whereupon she
>> quickly painted / wrote in wavey letters, "Rush." My only guess is,
>> she was referring to the rock band of longstanding. But alas who
>> knows? After this our "proud aboriginal woman," and "public artist"
>> went into the large loading dock and urinated. Perhaps, that too was
>> an expression of "public art," or some "statement about urban life,"
>> or some form of "playfulness in a public space?" I am quite sure our
>> denizens of "the peanut gallery" David Staples and Chelsea Boo, our
>> "champions of public art" can give us all an "intelligent" explanation
>> of the "deep meaning" of this "expression of public art!" ( if you
>> are too addled to figure it out, my tongue is firmly in cheek)
>>
>> So that begs the obvious question, what's the difference? What's the
>> difference betwixt "playful public artist," Chelsea Boos and her
>> sycophants, and the derelict and odds are, soon to be dead injin
>> squaw? What makes Chelsea Boo's and David Staples "public art" any
>> less criminal vandalism than our drunk squaw's defacing of a building,
>> for fun?
>>
>> A block, and a half down 114 Street from the Shopper's Drug Mart is,
>> small, mature, lovely and beautiful Kitchener Park. Kitchener Park is
>> beautiful, a real gem. It has a new water spray park for the kids and
>> playground. In the park is an old "service / washroom / storage
>> building." A couple of years ago the Oliver Community League and other
>> parties commissioned a competent and professional local artist to
>> paint a mural on the building, or rather turn the building into a
>> mural. It took several months, cost money, but the result was or is, a
>> stunningly beautiful representation of Edmonton generally and Oliver
>> specifically through the years. This beautiful manifestation of real
>> public art hasn't been defaced, tagged, and or vandalized. I am not
>> sure, if this out of respect or due to the kind of paint used on the
>> mural .
>>
>> Most of the time, things are entirely what they seem. The Oliver
>> Community League paid for some real "public art." Chelsea Boos is a
>> stupid bimbo looking for attention, and to get laid. David Staples is
>> a mediocre "journalist" needing something to write about. And the
>> drunk and probably soon to be dead squaw is nothing more than, drunk,
>> and soon to be dead squaw that no one on the planet will miss.

>> Animal shopping tricks part two!
>>
>> Every time I go to Mark's Workwearhouse to fetch my wife from work, I
>> am entertained and amazed by the behaviour of women shoppers. This
>> last trip was no exception.
>>
>> There was this dumpy and tawdry woman, going about every nook and
>> cranny of the store. She first stopped at the lunch kits. These were
>> large condura "packs" that are insulated and large enough to carry two
>> large thermos' and a"hip of beef." There were three or four of these
>> splendid and large luncheon packs, and our dowdy little shopper had to
>> unzip and open the compartments of each and every pack to satisfy
>> her curiosity, which she left open. The "dear lady" then ripped the
>> tags off of two of them, and left the offending labels on the floor
>> before moving on to her next destination in the store.
>>
>> Then...our rather stout and less than fetching shopper was compelled
>> to pick up and examine every piece of sleek and slender feminine
>> footwear she could never realistically bend over and get onto her
>> feet, and literally threw them back onto their display cases in a a
>> fit of past middle age and obese "rage against the machine" protest.
>>
>> Our well past middle age matron proceeded to waddle and shuffle
>> throughout the store with no doubt aching feet, wreaking havoc, until
>> she left the store without buying a thing. This was indeed a fine
>> example of "consumerism" in the "developed world!"
>>
>> As I walked back to the public restroom (I am an old man with a cane,
>> and I pee a lot) I was chased by a loud and obnoxious Mother with two
>> children. One of them was little "dear and sweet" Ida, about five
>> years old. The other specimen of future feminine "success" was about
>> eight. They were racing furiously to overtake me to use the Store's
>> restroom, all the while precious Ida wailing how she "wanna to poop
>> poop too." Oh joy, a group poop! "The family that shits
>> together...sticks together!" The "environmentalists" must be
>> ecstatic..."three boom booms...one flush!"
>>
>> So finally our bucolic little family arrive at the check out counter
>> and Mother chides her precious Ida and tells the other little future
>> Mother in Law to "look after your sister." Whilst our "devoted Mother"
>> is exchanging pleasantries with the cashiers "sweet little Ida" has
>> taken five magnetic mag-lites from their box and has attached them to
>> the metal stand and turned them on.
>>
>> So when you by a magnetic mag-lite from Workwearhouse, and the battery
>> is less than functional....thank "precious Ida" and her retarded
>> Mother.
>>
>> You may remember a TV show many years ago, Candid Camera. The show

>> February 26, 2013
>> Lets talk about ...Shopping!
>>
>> Lets talk about shopping! Have you ever watched men and especially
>> women shop or more accurately recreate in shops, stores and markets?
>> Our generation was admonished from childhood to "look don't touch,"
>> taught that "if you should break it, you have bought it," and that you
>> never bring food or drink into a store.
>>
>> Nowadays department stores are inhabited by well past middle age
>> matrons sipping from Starbucks cups, assiduously attempting to return
>> garments, they have worn for six months. Retail industry observers
>> claim, if you buy something from a major retailer that has a generous
>> return policy... odds are you buying used goods.
>>
>> I was at Mark's (Workwearhouse) some weeks ago and was entertained by
>> a semi obese matron with more makeup on than a television
>> anchor-creature. Our matronly shopper passed the "Mark's slim fit
>> never press dress shirts," and theatrically heaved a great sigh and
>> proceeded then to pull out at random, the third blue shirt in the
>> immaculate stack, and unfold the shirt, and toss it on the table. Our
>> "shopper" then showed her teeth in a dazzling smile, looked at me and
>> said, "my work here is done."
>>
>> My wife actually works at Mark's, and her accounts of scores of male
>> customers claiming to work for companies that get 10 % discounts, but
>> have "forgotten" the discount card and the name of the company that is
>> awarded such discounts...are the stuff of "urban legend."
>>
>> I was utterly devastated with laughter when I watched a young lady,
>> "who squished" when she approached the cashier's desk at a shoe store
>> in Kingsway Garden Mall. This "lady" was dressed like an advertisement
>> for The Velvet Jones, So You Want to be a HO School of Technology. Our
>> shopper wanted to return a pair of "hooker boots" she had worn for,
>> "she couldn't remember how long," and "she had lost the receipt."
>> These boots looked as if they were well used, and someone puked on
>> them. Well after a thirty minute "conference" in the back room with a
>> pimply face, teen-aged looking manager, the two returned to the cash
>> desk, and our "working girl" got her cash refund.
>>
>> Now of course these "people" don't think they are scamming anyone,
>> defrauding anyone or stealing from anyone. They think they are trying
>> to "get a deal,"or trying to "save a buck," after all the "retailers
>> can afford it." There is a percentage of "shrinkage worked into the
>> price," anyway. Well," that's their story, and they are sticking with
>> it."
>>
>> Then there is the Safeway Store. It is always a diminutive Asian
>> woman, that you can often see transferring Jumbo eggs into a egg
>> carton for small and medium eggs. Taking the smaller egg carton and
>> leaving the Jumbo carton with much smaller eggs for the next "poor
>> sap" to buy them.
>>
>> Sometimes the antics of these "urban hunter gatherers," are simply
>> dangerous. There is always some "native woman" with a child in the
>> cart who has picked up a package of raw hamburger, and the "good
>> woman" has decided she no longer wants or can afford the meat. So
>> instead of walking back to the meat counter she simply deposits it on
>> a shelf, and goes on with her child and their shopping.
>>
>> Then there is the "adventure of diseased man and his mother." Last
>> evening at the bakery there was a dearth of fresh baked bagels, it was
>> late in the day, pickings were slim. The Mother was on oxygen,
>> dragging along a little cart with the O2 bottle. Her "darling
>> beautiful boy" was picking up and every bagel that was left in the
>> trays, picking them up to his nose and smelling them, totally
>> oblivious to me and others waiting behind him.
>>
>> Finally our judicious, bagel expert had found two he deemed
>> satisfactory, and moved off, to scratch his ass, cough and blow his
>> nose. As I tried to find some bagels, our connoisseur of bagels
>> returned and reached in front of me to take a few more. I then decided
>> I didn't need any bagels.
>>
>> Allan Funt producer of TV's Candid Camera used to say..."People are

>>
>> I went to our neighbourhood Safeway to buy a point brisket for Texas
>> Smoked Beef. There I had the "delightful pleasure" of encountering a
>> blonde "woman" tottering about the store in a short skirt, and three
>> inch heels. As I was waiting for the butcher to cut a point brisket
>> for me, our epitome of "blonde womanhood" passed by popping, and
>> snapping the gum she was chewing, to stabilize the air pressure in her
>> head I assume. Whilst she "squished" by, she deposited a tray of sushi

>> want the purchase the sushi. As she walked by I called. "Hey Mary, you
>> Typhoid Mary, what're you trying to do, kill every one? You don't put
>> raw fish on a shelf for others to get sick!" Our blonde Borsht for
>> brains bimbo looked at me with a blank, vacuous, uncomprehending
>> glazed look in her eyes, and said..."whatever!"
>>
>> As I went to the cashier's lines, to queue up, a rather chunky middle
>> aged matron holding a large cake from the bakery, and balancing a
>> Starbucks coffee from the in store kiosk, cut in front of me in the
>> line, put down her cake , took a sip of coffee, pulled out her phone

>> exclaimed, "how ungentlemanly of me that was!" I replied..."whatever!"
>> And the cashier grinned.
>>
>> Our chunky and rude matron hardly noticed as she was conversing on her
>> phone, and continued to do so well past the time it took for our
>> cashier to total and bag the "woman's" order. There was then quite a
>> lengthy queue behind our matron, and one customer loudly said for

>> Not quite a year ago I was waiting in a bus shelter in front of the

>> More Chronicles Of The Incredibly Stupid
>>
>> There was a long running television show in the "sixties",

>> I am here to tell you that people are not funny, but incredibly
>> stupid.
>>
>> A couple of days ago I was shopping in the neighbourhood Safeway
>> Store. I was at the in store bakery counter to ask for some Pagnotta.
>> There was this dessicated, elderly, woman who was proceeding to pick
>> up and crush every single, and individual loaf of bread on a rather
>> large table. I asked this addled old lady, "what the fuck was she
>> doing?" She blinked myopically at me and replied," I need to know if
>> its fresh!" You mean you can't just read the date it was baked and
>> packed on ? "It doesn't matter," she said "I wasn't going to buy any,
>> anyway!" Just before she shuffled off, I asked her, "if she ever
>> considered euthanasia?" A few moments later a baker removed a dozen
>> loaves of bread because they were at that point, unsellable.
>>
>> A few weeks ago, I was sitting in a handicapped priority seat on an
>> ETS bus. ( I walk with cane) A rather effeminate looking Asian "guy /
>> girl" wearing leggings, a chiffon top or blouse, a "five o'clock
>> shadow," and copious make-up bounced both onto the bus and the seat
>> beside me, whereupon "he / she" crossed its legs, smiled and gushed,
>> "well hello!" I decided at that point, I would be better off and more
>> comfortable standing further down the length of the bus, stood up and
>> shuffled off to where the "normal people" were. "She / he" called out
>> after me, "that's not very nice!"
>>
>> There are no more stupid "people" on the planet than Asian / East
>> Asian immigrant shoppers. A few weeks ago an East Asian immigrant
>> showed up at the retail clothes store my wife is employed at, with
>> seven or eight garments all washed, and used without the sales tags.
>> The East Asian crook had the sales receipt that was dated 11 months
>> earlier. She imperiously said she demanded a refund as, "the goods
>> were shoddy." Lori told her that, a refund or adjustment was out of
>> the question. This outraged our immigrant criminal, and she said she
>> wanted to speak to "management". Lori told the "lady' she was talking

>> Lori's colleagues checked the receipt on the computer, and informed
>> Lori, this woman had been "flagged" by head office as a crook. Finally

>> More Stupid Shopper Tricks From Safeway
>>
>> There is this old. loud, obnoxious, rude, not too bright senior
>> citizen who reminds me of David Amos. One day I was sitting in the
>> little "coffee nook" in the Safeway store, consuming a Starbucks
>> coffee and listening to my "smart phone." I was listening to KUSC a
>> classical music station from Los Angeles. I was greatly enjoying the
>> full symphonic version of Rossini's William Tell Overture, or as any
>> kid from the sixties can tell you, the Lone Ranger Theme. There is
>> about six tables and a long table with stools along the wall, that is
>> this coffee nook and they were all empty whilst I was listening to the
>> Lone Ranger.
>>
>> Whereupon this loud and ignorant "man" approaches me and my table and
>> says, "I 'm gonna sit here." I wave at him "whatever." So I here am
>> "thirty thousand feet in the air, with nothing betwixt me and the
>> earth a thin blonde." Listening to Michael Tilson Thomas conducting
>> the San Francisco Symphony, thinking of when I was six years old with
>> my cap guns, being the Lone Ranger. When this foul specimen slaps my
>> arm and says. "Turn down your music, I can hear it through your ear
>> phones!" Very reluctantly and with remorse I remove my ear buds, look
>> this retard in the eye and say. "YOU can sit somewhere else, I didn't
>> invite you to interrupt or make a nuisance of yourself. Now shut the
>> Fuck up, they're playing the Lone Ranger.
>>
>> The man says, "well I'm going to complain!" YOU do just that!
>> I reply.
>>
>> It is some months later, and today I'm drinking two bottles of bottled
>> water, and reading the Globe and Mail. I see our "friend" going to the
>> restroom. I had an epiphany! I poured a copious amount of water on the
>> other chair at my table, and waited. Finally our "stupid shopper"
>> approached me, and I looked him and told him, "don't fucking sit here
>> you retard. This table is taken and I have little inclination to deal
>> with the likes of you."
>>
>> So as you can imagine like waving the "red cape" at a bull this
>> provokes our "retarded friend" to sneer at me and sit down on the very
>> wet chair. The asshole immediately jumped to the ceiling, and shouted!
>> I looked at the miscreant and said, "what's the matter, you piss your

>> Within a nano second of Karen my friend vacating the chair at our

>> People have to buy groceries, food, and that includes the crazy,

>> roast chicken, and potato chips, were discussing how many outstanding

>> appeared to be a Colt ACP .45 cal. semi-automatic pistol.
>>
>> Whilst handing the weapon over to his criminal confederate he
>> announced, "that it was an authentic Desert Eagle Commemorative pellet

>> roast chicken and various weapons.
>>
>> About forty-five minutes later my wife and I had just arrived back to

>> Safeway, Washrooms, And the Great Unwashed
>>
>> I have already regaled you with the tale of the old man, and the bimbo
>> at Safeway's "pissoir." Yesterday I ordered a large Starbuck's coffee
>> sat down, and "people watched" for the better part of an hour, whilst
>> garnering the energy to grocery shop. There was a steady stream of
>> obese humanoids, some with walkers, overloaded shopping carts, and
>> reusable shopping bags traipsing to the tables to rest their weary
>> bones, and have very loud conversations on their cell phones. Some old
>> farts, and the not so infirm had motorized scooters the size of Toyota
>> Trucks. I mean, why walk when you can ride and pretend to be infirm.
>>
>> There was this old man. He is eighty-eight years old and he is well
>> known to be an anal, obsessive menace. Safeway employees told me later
>> this old man every day sits from 2 PM to 4 PM at the same front table
>> everyday. Yesterday I was unfortunate enough to be sitting at "his
>> table." He was outraged that someone was at "his table." He raised
>> outstretched arms to supplicate the heavens for a swift death and
>> departure to the miscreant that would had the temerity to sit at "his
>> table." He cried out "yeah, yeah yeah, you fucking asshole this is
>> for food. I said, "sir I am having coffee and eating."
>>
>> He muttered, no doubt death wish to the Gods for me and immediately
>> started to rearrange every chair and table in the coffee nook whether
>> it needed to be rearranged or not. He muttered feverishly as he picked
>> up the garbage. I immediately put my earphones in my ears and escaped
>> to the strains of classical music. In a few short minutes the old man
>> was tapping my shoulder. The same old man wanted to show me a joke
>> that was on this sheet of paper he proffered me. I ignored him and
>> resumed my enjoyment of the music, which appeared to annoy him to no
>> end.
>>
>> There was this construction worker sort of guy, wearing carhaart work
>> coveralls. He was walking with a brisk step, smiling broadly and
>> animatedly speaking on his cell phone. He walked into the Men's Room,
>> and emerged a few moments later, walking with a brisk step, wearing
>> carhaart work coveralls, smiling broadly, and speaking animatedly on
>> his cell phone. Leaving me to ponder if I would want to talk to
>> someone on the phone whilst they were pissing, and have I without ever
>> knowing it? Do people "smile broadly" and have bowel movements whilst
>> speaking animatedly on the cell phone?" The mind boggles!
>>
>> There was a long line at the Starbuck's kiosk, there were 8 semi
>> impatient people waiting for the one barista to take and make their
>> orders. There was this expensively yet bohemian dressed couple holding
>> a large package of "fair trade" coffee that they wanted the barista to

>> and they would buy it. There was a very definite "aww" from the semi
>> impatient patrons behind them. The ersatz "lady" waggled her fingers
>> at the queue, and exclaimed ..."whatever!"
>>
>> Two elderly, semi infirm men bought sushi, and noodles from the deli,
>> coffee from Starbucks and walked painfully slowly to the coffee nook
>> with their purchases dripping coffee the entire tortuous road to the
>> tables. They sat down, and started to eat. In a short while the
>> tallest of the elderly men stood up, advanced a couple of tortuous
>> paces and loudly cried, "we can't open the containers!" The Starbucks
>> barista looked at the pitiful specimen and confusedly asked "what
>> containers?" He replied, "he and his friend could not open the plastic
>> condiment packages from the sushi / deli bar" he was rude, annoying
>> and blamed the Starbucks barista for unopenable condiment packets.
>> These two nimrods were complaining loudly and vociferously that they
>> with neither fingers or teeth could open the Wasbi packets. The deli
>> /sushi bar was further inside the store and these senior's home
>> escapees were angered about Wasbi packets with the coffee girl.
>> Finally a Safeway clerk withdrew some scissors from his tool holster,
>> and the two old guys calmed down. Finally our two geriatric nut cases
>> tried to exit the store from the "in" door. If it weren't all so
>> funny, it would be pathetic.
>>
>> I was sitting at the front table, coffee and panni on the table in

>> you could be living anywhere in Africa, or any Islamic State, Iran or
>> Persia, China, most of Africa, indeed the vast majority of the planet.

>> Meet Tony Luong. Little Tony is confused, day to day he is not quite
>> sure what gender he is. Tony claims to be a "student of Women and
>> Gender Studies at the University of Alberta." Well a degree in that
>> will "most certainly" qualify you for a job. "Yes Virginia," my tongue
>> is firmly in cheek. Little Tony is not male or female, or has outdoor
>> or indoor plumbing, but is what he calls "gender creative." Little
>> Tony says some days he is a woman and some days he feels more
>> "masculine."
>>
>> Like the "very masculine Blues Brothers" little Tony Luong is "on a
>> mission from God." He wants "gender inclusive bathrooms, in the U of A
>> and the public. Tony claims that current facilities are "spaces of
>> fear and exclusion," and that bathrooms need be turned into "a place
>> of safety and inclusion," because for our little Tony, gender is a
>> "choice du jour." And little Tony simply doesn't feel safe or
>> included. These days the University of Alberta, and all post secondary
>> institutions are have to make do, with a great very much less,
>> teachers, assistants, entire programmes are being axed, and our little
>> gender confused Tony Luong wants the university to build "gender
>> inclusive washrooms" so little Tony can indulge whatever mood he or
>> she is in.
>>
>> Things have changed and are changing in the fast paced ever changing
>> world of public shitters. In most stores like supermarkets, Mark's and
>> other retailers, they are a unisex sort of proposition. In most
>> Safeway Stores, Save On, Superstores etc men and women use whatever
>> cans are free. So little Tony's irrational fear of the can seems
>> fucked up to say the least . But alas our little anomaly Tony
>> prevaricates "In many case, those who don't fit a gender norm have

>>
>> The solution is simple my little "friend," by all means ....pee! "Viva

>> NO ONE GIVES A FUCK HOW "TERRIFIED OF THE PISSER" YOU ARE! No one

>> More stupid shoppers tricks! A few days ago there was a diminutive
>> Asian woman, buying a considerable number of garments. While at the

>> every garment, in poor English. She would attempt to haggle down the
>> ticketed price on the clothing, shake her head claim she was being

>> the goods, and presented her a with a 10 dollar off card good, and
>> told her it was good for her next purchase. Then our outraged little
>> Chinese lady screamed..."you take 10 dolla off now!"
>>
>> Just last week a bucolic family of Mom, Dad and a 12 year old boy were
>> at the cash desk. Mother was purchasing items whilst Dad and little
>> junior were busy turning on all the flashlights in a bin and joyously
>> playing with them. Eventually junior brought one out that would not

>> up the battery!" Neither Dad or junior had the intellectual capacity
>> it seems, to have figured out the significance of the moment. And our
>> "happy little family" blissfully walked out the doors.
>>
>> Last week was as Churchill said, "in thousand years men will still

>> washroom, located in the back of the store. What can I say I am an old

>> lovely."
>>
>> Sometimes stupid shoppers can make people sick or worse. At Safeway
>> almost weekly some woman approaching the cashiers walks by the
>> sandwich cooler where there are prepared foods and a large assortment
>> of in-store made sandwiches, decides that she doesn't want the raw

>> Another stupid woman, another "typhoid Mary!

>> Lets talk about ...Shopping!
>>
>> Lets talk about shopping! Have you ever watched men and especially
>> women shop or more accurately recreate in shops, stores and markets?
>> Our generation was admonished from childhood to "look don't touch,"
>> taught that "if you should break it, you have bought it," and that you
>> never bring food or drink into a store.
>>
>> Nowadays department stores are inhabited by well past middle age
>> matrons sipping from Starbucks cups, assiduously attempting to return
>> garments, they have worn for six months. Retail industry observers
>> claim, if you buy something from a major retailer that has a generous
>> return policy... odds are you buying used goods.
>>
>> I was at Mark's (Work Wearhouse) some weeks ago and was entertained by
>> a semi obese matron with more makeup on than a television
>> anchor-creature. Our matronly shopper passed the "Mark's slim fit
>> never press dress shirts," and theatrically heaved a great sigh and
>> proceeded then to pull out at random, the third blue shirt in the
>> immaculate stack, and unfold the shirt, and toss it on the table. Our
>> "shopper" then showed her teeth in a dazzling smile, looked at me and
>> said, "my work here is done."
>>
>> My wife actually works at Mark's, and her accounts of scores of male
>> customers claiming to work for companies that get 10 % discounts, but
>> have "forgotten" the discount card and the name of the company that is
>> awarded such discounts...are the stuff of "urban legend."
>>
>> I was utterly devestated with laughter when I watched a young lady,
>> "who squished" when she approached the cashier's desk at a shoe store
>> in Kingsway Garden Mall. This "lady" was dressed like an advertisement
>> for The Velvet Jones, So You Want to be a HO School of Technology. Our
>> shopper wanted to return a pair of "hooker boots" she had worn for,
>> "she couldn't remember how long," and "she had lost the receipt."
>> These boots looked as if they were well used, and someone puked on
>> them.
>>
>> Now of course these "people" don't think they are scamming anyone,
>> defrauding anyone or stealing from anyone. They think they are trying
>> to "get a deal,"or trying to "save a buck," after all the "retailers
>> can afford it." There is a percentage of "shrinkage worked into the
>> price," anyway. Well," that's their story, and they are sticking with
>> it."
>>
>> Then there is the Safeway Store. It is always a dimunitive Asian
>> woman, that you can often see transferring Jumbo eggs into a egg
>> carton for small and medium eggs. Taking the smaller egg carton and
>> leaving the Jumbo carton with much smaller eggs for the next "poor
>> sap" to buy them.
>>
>> Sometimes the antics of these "urban hunter gatherers," are simply
>> dangerous. There is always some "native woman" with a child in the
>> cart who has picked up a package of raw hamburger, and the "good
>> woman" has decided she no longer wants or can afford the meat. So
>> instead of walking back to the meat counter she simply deposits it on
>> a shelf, and goes on with her child and their shopping.
>>
>> Then there is the "adventure of diseased man and his mother." Last
>> evening at the bakery there was a dearth of fresh baked bagels, it was
>> late in the day, pickings were slim. The Mother was on oxygen,
>> dragging along a little cart with the O2 bottle. Her "darling
>> beautiful boy" was picking up and every bagel that was left in the
>> trays, picking them up to his nose and smelling them, totally
>> oblivious to me and others waiting behind him.
>>
>> Finally our judicious, bagel expert had found two he deemed
>> satisfactory, and moved off, to scratch his ass, cough and blow his
>> nose. As I tried to find some bagels, our connoisseur of bagels
>> returned and reached in front of me to take a few more. I then decided
>> I didn't need any bagels.

>> Ann Vessla, Ezra Winton, Farmer's Markets and the moronic!
>>
>> "A fool and his money are easily parted." When you go to Dieter
>> Kuhlmann's table at the farmer's market a large old lady cackles,
>> "fresh from the farm" as she sells two tomatoes, and four onions to
>> you... for twelve bucks.
>>
>> A couple of tables down the market an "artisan baker" sells or tries
>> to sell you a loaf of "organic bread" for ten bucks. I asked the
>> peddler if it was baked today... alas not. It was baked the day
>> before. That same loaf of bread baked "in store" fresh daily is a
>> buck, forty-nine at Safeway. So I asked this guy if it was ten bucks
>> for "day old bread". He told me that his bread was fresh if well
>> wrapped for a week..."No preservatives added!"
>>
>> As you walk down the market, one observes well past middle age matrons
>> clad in spandex ( truly a frightening sight) walking two thousand
>> dollar bicycles, and wearing Oakley backpacks. These folks want to
>> show us all how "green" they are, and their commitment to "saving the
>> planet." In this market where a myriad of local food is sold there are
>> scores of "yuppies" walking their "designer dogs", and "supporting"
>> growers of "local food," especially the booths selling sweets, and
>> cookies.
>>
>> At the Downtown Farmer's Market there are always several trucks
>> painted "Fresh BC Fruit" on them that have made the several hundred
>> kilometre trek from the BC Interior to sell us the very "freshest" in
>> "local food" in season, or out.
>>
>> This madness is all part and parcel of a nefarious campaign separate
>> the foolish and gullible from their money ...all in the name of
>> "saving the planet". As the crooked have always known, JESUS sells!
>> And now it is the "new gospel" of local food, organic foods, day old
>> bread and teaching the kiddies "where food comes from." This is North
>> America's and the advertising world's new growth industry, slash...
>> con job.
>>
>> The morons are everywhere! Whether it is an "uber" political home
>> movie maker like Ezra Winton at Concordia University whining about
>> "global effects on cultures" from Monsanto's genetically modified
>> seeds. Or a moronic middle aged matron and or one Ann Vessla at the
>> Oliver Community garden trumpeting the use in Canada of what they call
>> "real seeds", rather the blasphemy of GMOs.
>>
>> There are over 8 billion souls on the planet, and the world is NOT
>> going to be able to feed them organically. Canada is the world's
>> largest producer and exporter of Canola and Canola oil. Well over 85 %
>> of Canadian Canola producers use genetically modified Canola seed.
>>
>> In North America 66% of all processed foods contain some genetically
>> modified materials or products in them. "Yes Virginia..." that KD and
>> much of the processed junk food is made with the "evil Frankenfood".
>> It is said that in the EU, notwithstanding the loud bleating about the
>> use of GMOs... the percentages are much higher.
>>
>> Canadian prairie farmers have been growing food for Canadians and the
>> world for over a century. Canadian agricultural products are safe,
>> meat and poultry without antibiotics, and local. Each city and
>> province relies on its local "milk or dairy shed" (milk produced
>> within 50 to 100 miles or less) Most potatoes and many root crops are
>> locally farmed.
>>
>> There is no difference in the nutritive value of the carrot or
>> vegetables sold at an highly inflated price at the Edmonton Farmer's
>> Market...and the carrot and veggies sold at Walmart, or the
>> Superstore, absolutely none! The only difference is a family of two or
>> three children and working parents or a single parent CAN afford a
>> nutritious diet based on products from a supermarket. And NOT "fresh
>> from the farm", or the Market Garden. or Farmer's Market.
>>
>> The reality is, there is no room for the working family, the retired
>> or less fortunate in the minds of these adherents, of the "new gospel"
>> of organic farming, local and or slow food. Or as Marie Antoinette
>> said ..."let them eat cake" organic cake of course.
>>
>> With the messianic fervor of a Texas Baptist preacher telling you "God
>> loves you, and the death penalty," Ann Vessla, Ezra Winton and the
>> other morons tell us all what to do and how to eat, in order to "serve
>> God and save the planet".
>>
>> Ann Vessla and her sycophants follow their agenda to change the
>> gardening habits of gardeners everywhere, to collectively tell people
>> what to do, how, and what to eat...In the name of "organically saving
>> the planet." It is truly pathetic to see grown adults surreptitiously
>> mix Miracle Gro in their watering cans so Ann and the Garden Gestapo
>> don't see them.
>>
>> But organic farming, farming, patronizing local farmers in their
>> "value added" business ventures is NOT going to "save the planet" nor
>> feed everybody. It is NOT going to help a whit in assisting the so
>> called "food insecure" in the world or the working families here in
>> Alberta.
>>
>> What our ignorant friend Ezra Winton does not understand
>> notwithstanding his "war with Walmart" is: Walmart gets goods into the
>> hands of those with less resources than any other means...most
>> especially food. Alberta's and Canada's local farmers are NOT able to
>> feed all Canadians. Local farmers can only make a buck if supermarkets
>> buy their produce in bulk.
>>
>> Last week there was an Inuit protest in parts of the North, regarding
>> "food security" and the high price of food.They are outraged that a
>> case of pop costs 82 dollars, a cabbage over thirty dollars and milk
>> that is too expensive for children. Given the prohibitive costs of
>> flying in food supplies what would one expect.
>>
>> But root crops, or vegetables, or fruit or foodstuffs are economically
>> shipped from around the world to markets everywhere below the Arctic
>> Circle. Thus Canadians can buy produce from around the world at prices
>> notwithstanding considerable tariffs, competitive with Canadian
>> producers.
>>
>> The single parent mother can NOT afford to feed her kid or kids "free
>> range" or so called "humanely raised poultry". Cafeterias in industry
>> or in institutions can NOT afford to provide meals made with local
>> value added agricultural commodities...It is all a "save the world
>> pipe dream."
>>
>> Third world nations CAN export agricultural commodities. The last
>> round of tariff and trade talks (the Doha round) was all about the
>> developed world opening up their agricultural markets to Third World
>> nations. Agricultural exports from Third World nations can well
>> transform their economies and feed the greater world.
>>
>> Canada's organic collective network of "food activists" have it wrong.
>> They care more about their "agenda" than they do about Canadians and
>> the people of the world actually eating well.
>>
>> Ann Vessla, Ezra Winton, and these so called "activists", are akin to
>> the schoolyard bully making us do what they want. These animals tell

>>

>> STAY GRANTED IN LEGAL CHALLENGE AGAINST ALBERTA COLLEGE OF PHARMACISTS
>>
>> EDMONTON, AB -- Albertans who collect reward points on pharmacy
>> purchases, including Air Miles and Club Sobeys, will be pleased to
>> learn that the Alberta Court of Queen's Bench has granted a stay of
>> the Alberta College of Pharmacists ban that would have prohibited
>> patients from collecting reward points on these purchases starting
>> June 10, 2014.
>>
>> Justice J.J. Gill of the Alberta Court of Queen's Bench granted a stay
>> of the implementation of the inducements prohibition, pending the
>> hearing of the judicial review application that is expected to be
>> heard in January, 2015.
>>
>> "As a result of this ruling, Albertans will be able to continue to
>> earn loyalty rewards on their pharmacy purchases, including Air Miles
>> Reward Miles at Safeway stores and Club Sobeys points at Sobeys
>> locations across the province," said Sandra Aylward, Vice President,
>> Professional and Regulatory Affairs, Sobeys Inc.
>> In April, 2014 the Coalition for Consumer Choice launched the "I
>> Earned It" petition at www.iearneditpetition.ca, providing a strong
>> and united voice for Albertans opposed to the ban. Nearly three
>> quarters of Albertans surveyed believe that it is unfair to ban
>> loyalty rewards and over 38,000 Albertans have already signed the
>> petition calling on the Alberta government to stand up for Albertans
>> and reject the ban.

>> then 600-person sell-out crowed at the 2014 General Counsel of the
>> Year Awards gala in Toronto on Monday night. “Looking at the
>> accomplishments of my fellow finalists is pretty daunting. I know most
>> of them and I know what kind of year they’ve had.”
>>
>> The Sobeys deal was more than a straitforward M&A transaction. It
>> included a series of notable lending, public offering and real estate
>> deals. And Ms. McCaskill did it all in addition to her usual in-house
>> duties.
>>
>> Friday, Legal Post will publish a special supplement of stories about
>> all the award recipients. Meanwhile, here’s a rundown of who took home
>> each of the eight trophies awarded at the gala. This year marks the
>> 10th annual edition of the CGCAs, which were co-founded and sponsored
>> by National Post and ZSA Legal Recruitment.
>>
>> The 2014 Deal-making CGCA went to Michael Webber of Rogers
>> Communications Inc. for his work in helping his employer secure the
>> rights to NHL broadcasts.
>>
>> “I was fortunate to be at the right place and the right time when
>> Rogers embarked on its journey to acquire sports content to drive
>> other areas of its business. From MLSE to the NHL, it’s been a pretty
>> fun, pretty wild ride,” Mr. Webber said.
>>
>> Michael P. Thompson, a senior member of the management team at Ernst &
>> Young, was recognized in the Business Achievement category. He thanked
>> management of the professional services firm for patiently allowing
>> him “to bounce around from role to role until you finally found
>> something that fit for me.”
>>
>> He said law is more than a career choice. It’s also a platform that
>> brings with it the credibility that other business people will
>> recognize. “My message to those embarking on their careers is, don’t
>> be afraid to take advantage of that credibility and to be adventurous
>> in the career decisions that you make.”
>>
>> The Litigation Management category went to Peter Brady of Vale Canada
>> Ltd. Among other things, he worked on the company’s defence of a class
>> action lawsuit connected with the pollution of a former operation in
>> Port Colborne, Ont. Although the plaintiffs won a huge damage award at
>> trial, that judgment was overturned after a successful appeal.
>>
>> “I would certainly like to acknowledge my fellow nominees, all of whom
>> manage complex litigation files,” Mr. Brady said. “I know this is a
>> litigation managers award, not a litigator’s award. I truly miss
>> wearing my robes.”
>>
>> “Thank you — third time is a charm,” said Anne Fitzgerald, chief legal
>> officer and corporate secretary with Cineplex Inc., as she accepted
>> the award for Mid-Market Excellence. This was the third year she made
>> the list of finalists, but it was the first time she went home with a
>> trophy.
>>
>> Originally a litigator, she said her courtroom background taught her
>> how to become an expert in specific fields during short periods of
>> time. Cineplex hired her as outside counsel for some small matters in
>> 2004. “I now know that was just a very long interview,” she joked. In
>> 2005, the company hired her to work full-time as in-house counsel, and
>> she credits her litigation experience with helping her get up to speed
>> in all areas of the company’s business.
>>
>> Tyler Langdon of McCain Foods Ltd. received the Tomorrow’s Leader
>> award, which salutes a counsel who has spent less than 10 years at the
>> bar. “I am extremely honoured and extremely humbled,” he said.
>>
>> As previously announced, NEI Investments, an ethical investing firm
>> that is 50% owned by Desjardins Group and 50% owned by Provincial
>> Credit Union Centrals, received the Social Responsibility award, which
>> recognizes a law department of a company or organization that is
>> committed to pro bono work, diversity initiatives or both. “We are
>> rewarded and honoured daily when investors choose to trust us to make
>> a difference and still make them money,” said John Mountain, who
>> accepted the award on behalf of the firm.
>>
>> Also as previously announced, J-P Bisnaire of Manulife received the
>> Lifetime Achievement award. His advice for younger counsel comes from
>> something he learned during his days in private practice at Davies
>> Ward Phillips & Vineberg LLP: don’t be afraid to render business
>> advice on top of your legal advice.
>>
>> “That helped shape my career at Manulife, because I’m considered to be
>> a business partner, rendering that business advice. That’s what I
>> would recommend to all the young lawyers in the room. Do not hesitate
>> to voice your views on matters other than law.”

>> Madam
>>
>> I did not receive a response from you to the last email so I am
>> not certain if you received it. I must inform you that I will be
>> closing my briefcase in Yahoo for public view at the end of the week.
>> I have a great deal of material to add and I only wish certain parties
>> to view it. I opened it for you the other day as an act of good faith.
>> Mr. Pozen can check my work in the dockets of the various courts
>> around Boston they are a matter of Public Record my files are not. As
>> you can see by this and some following emails. I am very busy dealing
>> with criminal matters first before filing civil complaints in the USA.
>> As I told you when you called a lot has been happening. I have made a
>> lot of cops mad at me and I don't trust them a bit particularly after
>> the Police Commission is willing to check their work so i have been
>> busy watching my back and covering my butt. However that does not mean
>> that I have not thought about our conversation and was
>> curious about a few things.
>>
>> I was glad to receive your call and impressed by the fact that
>> you were more than willing to receive the material and a copy of the
>> wiretap tape in particular. Your stated willingness to uphold the law
>> was a rare statement to me. However I was curious why you only
>> mentioned my voicemail to Mr. Pozen and not the email to your company
>> and the news program that it owns. Did they not inform you as well? If
>> they didn't I am not surprised because I have some other rather
>> interesting denials from the Media. the most interesting would have to
>> be from the PBS program called Frontline when I introduced its
>> producer Michael Sullivan to the US Attorney Michael J. Sullivan. Now
>> that is a story well worth W5 telling. Too bad they showed me their
>> ass. As a courtesy to you and a further act of good faith, I will not
>> forward this email to anyone else until after I return to the USA and
>> nothing has been resolved between BCE and I and I am compelled to
>> name it in my complaint. I would find it very hard to believe that
>> Mr, Pozen does not know everything he needs to know about me right
>> now.
>>
>> I had also called a lawyer, Steven Skurka who had a week long
>> little special on CTV . I had tried to inform him that I knew my
>> rights his assistant hollered at me. You from speaking to me yourself
>> that I am not a rude character. I found it too funny to be treated
>> that way and I had resolved to serve him this stuff byway of the local
>> ATV Station that had presented his smiling talking head to me. That is
>> why I was telling you that you could get this stuff from the local ATV
>> station. I found it quite strange that you did not rely on them to
>> send it on to you. Thus I must make an extra copy to comply with your
>> request.
>>
>> I know the date stamp on the forwarded email is incorrect but
>> that is because my old laptop goes to the first year in it when I boot
>> up and sometimes I am too busy or tired to bother changing it. However
>> MSN tracks it with the true date. Brad Smith and I have a bone to pick
>> as well and I have been checking his work rather closely since he
>> ignored my letter to him last year. His boss Bill Gates is gonna be
>> very angry and Brad Smith and Steve Balmer in the near future if I
>> have anything to do with it. If you do act ethically and immediately I
>> will settle with your company very cheaply in comparsion to the bottom
>> lines of my first two complaints. In fact I will be so impressed I
>> will immediatlely offer you a better job than the one you have now.
>> Please study the material I will provide you closely and ask me any
>> thing you wish.
>>
>> I will do as I promised and send the material you requested as
>> soon as I can put it all together. Right now I am on the move and far
>> away from my printer. Is the following your correct address? Perhaps
>> you should consider sending someone to the my meeting with the Police
>> Commission in Fredericton next week in order to hear me speak of these
>> matters to law enforcement before I return to the USA. Once I do
>> return there I will serve the Mr. Pozen the material as promised and
>> call him to testify in my pending trial. The following emails should
>> explain some of my concerns to you. My wife will be in Canada next
>> week as well to pick up our kids. I will allow you to speak to her if
>> you wish. She has had a nervous breakdown over the legal crap and I do
>> have her Durable Power of Attorney pursuant to M.G.L. 201 B. Mr. Pozen
>> can ask Robert S. Creedon Jr. about that document. I argued it with

1. SUMMARY: TRUDEAU'S CHIEF POLITICAL ADVISOR JIM COUTTS
TOLD ME NOVEMBER 3 THAT ONLY WAY HE CAN NOW SEE FOR TRUDEAU
TO CLIMB OUT OF HIS SLUMP IS TO GET THE ECONOMY MOVING AGAIN
TOWARDS HIGHER REAL GROWTH AND LOWER UNEMPLOYMENT. COUTTS
SEES THE MACKENZIE VALLEY PIPELINE AND GOOD RELATIONS WITH THE
U.S. PLAYING A KEY ROLE IN DOING SO. END SUMMARY.
2. COUTTS STARTED OUT BY SAYING THAT NO NON-ECONOMIC ISSUE
WILL GIVE TRUDEAU A CHANCE TO RECOUP FROM THE CURRENT POLITICAL
SLUMP. FEW PEOPLE ARE INTERESTED IN PATRIATING THE
CONSTITUTION, AND THOSE THAT ARE TEND MORE TO OPPOSE THAN
SUPPORT TRUDEAU. IF THE LIBERALS DO BADLY IN THE QUEBEC
PROVINCIAL ELECTION, (AS COUTTS EXPECTS THEY WILL), CANADIAN
FEDERATION WOULD BE SHAKEN, BUT IT'S DOUBTFUL THAT MANY PEOPLE
WOULD TURN TO TRUDEAU AGAIN AS A SAVIOR. MORE LIKELY, THE
PREDOMINANT REACTION WOULD BE: "IF WE'VE HAD A FRENCH-CANADIAN
PREMIER FOR EIGHT YEARS AND COULDN'T AVOID THIS, MAYBE WE
SHOULD GET AN ENGLISH-CANADIAN." FOREIGN POLICY ISSUES
(EXCEPT, COUTTS ADMITTED, SUGGESTION OF MISMANAGING THE U.S.
RELATIONSHIP) CUT LITTLE ICE WITH THE ELECTORATE. NATIONALIST
CONSTITUENCIES APPEAR TO BE SHRINKING SIGNIFICANTLY, AND THERE
WILL BE LITTLE PERCENTAGE AND POSSIBLY MAJOR LOSS FOR THE
PRIME MINISTER IN ATTEMPTING TO CULTIVATE THEM. ALTHOUGH
COUTTS WAS GLAD THAT THE PRIME MINISTER IS HARD AT WORK AGAIN
CONFIDENTIAL
CONFIDENTIAL
PAGE 02 OTTAWA 04442 061320Z
MENDING FENCES, HE RECOGNIZED THAT SIMPLE HARD WORK IS NOT
GOING TO RESTORE TRUDEAU TO POPULAR ESTEEM. "NOBODY LIKES
HIM ENOUGH FOR THAT," AND THE ONLY WAY FOR TRUDEAU TO COME
OUT ON TOP IS TO BE ABLE TO EXERCISE HIS LEADERSHIP ABILITY.
"THE PUBLIC RESPONDS TO THAT AND ONLY THAT IN TRUDEAU",
COUTTS SAID.
3. COUTTS' CONCLUSION WAS THAT THE ONLY WAY FOR TRUDEAU
TO PULL UP IS THROUGH BETTER ECONOMIC PERFORMANCE. THE
CARTER ADMINISTRATION MIGHT RUN THE U.S. ECONOMY A LITTLE
FASTER THAN A FORD ADMINISTRATION, BUT COUTTS COULD NOT SEE
HOW THE AMERICAN ECONOMY COULD GET GOING EARLY ENOUGH AND FAST
ENOUGH (MAYBE AT HIGHER THAN 6 PERCENT REAL INCREASE IN GNP)
TO PULL CANADA INTO A BOOM. CONSUMER CONFIDENCE IS HOLDING
UP PRETTY WELL IN CANADA, AND THAT COMBINED WITH STEADY
GROWTH IN THE STATES IS PRODUCING REASONABLE GROWTH HE.
BUT THIS YEAR'S FIVE PERCENT GROWTH MAY SHADE OFF TOWARDS FOUR
NEXT YEAR, AND UNEMPLOYMENT IS LIKELY TO BE HIGH AND SLIGHTLY
RISING (ABOVE SEVEN PERCENT). IN THAT FRAMEWORK, COUTTS
THINKS THAT VOTER INTEREST WILL SHIFT FROM INFLATION TO
JOBS AND PROSPERITY, AND HE IS URGING TRUDEAU TO BEGIN THINKING
NOW HOW HE CAN GET THE ECONOMY MOVING AGAIN. ONE READY
INSTRUMENT WOULD BE LOOSER MONETARY POLICY WHICH THE BANK OF
CANADA WOULD RESIST, BUT WHICH THE GOVERNMENT IS CONSIDERING
DIRECTING THE BANK TO CARRY OUT.
4. IN ORDER TO SET THE TONE, COUTTS SAID, SOME DRAMATIC,
LONG-TERM ECONOMIC COMMITMENT WOULD BE DESIRABLE AND PERHAPS
EVEN NECESSARY. ONLY CANDIDATE AT THIS MOMENT IS THE MACKENZIE
VALLEY (OR CONCEIVABLY THE ALCAN) PIPELINE. CONSTRUCTION OF
THE PIPELINE WOULD SET A COURSE FOR THE ECONOMY FOR AS MUCH
AS A DECADE; PROVIDE WORK IN CONSTRUCTION AND SUPPLY INDUSTRIES
(NOTABLY THE SOFT STEEL INDUSTRIES) THROUGHOUT CANADA; AND SHARPLY
CHANGE THE TONE AND DIRECTION OF RELATIONS WITH U.S. COUTTS
SAID THAT HE HAD HAD THREE CONVERSATIONS SINCE JULY WITH THE
PRIME MINISTER TO THIS EFFECT, AND THE PRIME MINISTER ALSO
"SEES THE PIPELINE AS A MAJOR ECONOMIC AND THEREFORE POLITICAL
OPPORTUNITY." THE CONTROVERSY OVER NATIVE CLAIMS AND THE
DEVELOPMENT OF THE MACKENZIE VALLEY WOULD OF COURSE BE A MAJOR
OBSTACLE. FOR THIS REASON, U.S. SUPPORT WOULD BE ESSENTIAL.
HOWEVER IT WOULD BE POLITCALLY NECESSARY FOR CANADA TO ACT
CONFIDENTIAL
CONFIDENTIAL
PAGE 03 OTTAWA 04442 061320Z
FIRST, SINCE "THE NATIONALISTS WOULD BEAT US TO DEATH" IF
CANADA WERE MERELY REACTING TO AN AMERICAN PROPOSAL. FOR
ALL OF THESE REASONS, COUTTS IS ADVISING THE PRIME MINISTER
TO TAKE THE LEAD ON THE PIPELINE ISSUE EARLY NEXT YEAR,
PERHAPBEFORE SUBMISSION OF THE NEB PIPELINE REPORT, NOW
SCHEDULED FOR MAY 1ST.
5. COMMENT: COUTTS IS NO AMATEUR AT POLITICS, BEING WIDELY
REGARDED HERE AS ONE OF THE TWO OR THREE MORE SKILLED
OPERATIVES IN THE BUSINESS. NO NATIONALIST (UNLIKE TRUDEAU'S
OTHER MAIN POLITICAL ADVISOR, TORONTO SENATOR KEITH DAVIES)
HE HAS ALWAYS BEEN ATTRACTED TO THE MACKENZIE VALLEY PIPE-
LINE, BUT IT IS A MEASURE OF THE SERIOUSNESS WITH WHICH LIBERAL

Dear Shareholders：
2014 was an unusual year for the Company. The world economic recovery
has hardly moved forward and China's economy has shifted gear to the
"New Normal" medium-to-high growth rate. Since the second half of the
year, international oil prices have plunged, reaching a hefty 50%
decrease by the end of the year. This plummet strongly affected the
oil industry all over the world, bringing with it a "cold winter". The
Company, whose business is primarily oil and gas exploration and
development, has sensed the pinch of the "cold winter".
The "cold winter" struck a serious blow against the Company's
development, investment strategy, as well as its operational
management. Facing the challenges, we continued to follow the "New
Leap Forward" blueprint and determined to build our competitive edge
in order to achieve sustainable development. We have strengthened our
confidence, worked hand in hand to map out our long-term strategy and
tackled the immediate problems, and achieved solid progress in
different areas of our business.
First, to solidify our business foundation and continue to focus our
effort on exploration and development. The volatility of oil prices is
an inherent risk for the oil industry. We did not expand recklessly
when oil prices are high, nor did we bring ourselves to a standstill
simply because oil prices temporarily plummeted. In 2014, the
Company's overall production and operations have remained stable. We
were able to meet our operational targets and further enhanced our
overall competitiveness.

The information contained herein has been reviewed by Kevin G. Lynch,
Deputy Minister of Finance, Canada and is included herein on his
authority. Certain information contained in this Exhibit has been
extracted or compiled from public official documents of Canada, which
include statistical data subject to revision. Canada is sometimes
referred to as the “Government of Canada” or the “Government” in this
Exhibit.
CANADA
GENERAL INFORMATION
Area and Population
Canada is the second largest country in the world, with an area of
9,984,670 square kilometers of which about 891,163 square kilometers
are covered by fresh water. The occupied farm land is about 7% and the
productive forest land is about 24% of the total area. The population
on July 1, 2002 was estimated to be 31.4 million. Approximately 64% of
Canada’s population lives in metropolitan areas of which Toronto,
Montreal and Vancouver are the largest. Most of Canada’s population
lives within 325 kilometers of the United States border.
Form of Government
Canada is a federal state composed of ten provinces and three
territories. In 1867, the United Kingdom Parliament adopted the
British North America Act, which established the Canadian federation
comprised of, at that time, the Provinces of Ontario, Québec, Nova
Scotia and New Brunswick. Since then, six additional provinces
(Manitoba, British Columbia, Prince Edward Island, Saskatchewan,
Alberta and Newfoundland and Labrador), along with the Yukon
Territory, the Northwest Territories and the new territory of Nunavut
(which was carved out of the Northwest Territories on April 1, 1999),
have become parts of Canada.
The British North America Act (which has been renamed the Constitution
Act, 1867) gave the Parliament of Canada legislative power in relation
to a number of matters including all matters not assigned exclusively
to the legislatures of the provinces. These powers now include matters
such as defense, the raising of money by any mode or system of
taxation, the regulation of trade and commerce, the public debt, money
and banking, interest, bills of exchange and promissory notes,
navigation and shipping, extra-provincial transportation, aerial
navigation and, with some exceptions, telecommunications. The
provincial legislatures have exclusive jurisdiction in such areas as
education, municipal institutions, property and civil rights,
administration of justice, direct taxation for provincial purposes and
other matters of purely provincial or local concern.
The executive power of the federal Government is vested in the Queen,
represented by the Governor General, whose powers are exercised on the
advice of the federal Cabinet, which is responsible to the House of
Commons. The legislative branch at the federal level, Parliament,
consists of the Crown, the Senate and the House of Commons. The Senate
has 105 seats. There are 24 seats each for the Maritime Provinces,
Québec, Ontario and Western Canada, 6 for Newfoundland and 1 each for
the three territories. Senators are appointed by the Governor General
on the advice of the federal Cabinet and hold office until age 75. The
House of Commons has 301 members, elected by voters in single-member
constituencies. The leader of the political party that gains the most
seats in each general election is usually invited by the Governor
General to be Prime Minister and to form the Government. The Prime
Minister selects the members of the federal Cabinet from among the
members of the House of Commons and the Senate (in practice almost
entirely from the former). The House of Commons is elected for a
period of five years, subject to earlier dissolution upon the
recommendation of the Prime Minister or because of the Government’s
defeat in the House of Commons on a vote of no confidence.
The most recent general election was held on November 27, 2000. As a
result of that election the Liberal Party forms the Government. The
distribution of seats in the House of Commons is as follows: the
Liberal Party has 169 seats, the Canadian Alliance Party has 63 seats,
the Bloc Québécois has 35 seats, the New Democratic Party has 14 seats
and the Progressive Conservative Party has 14 seats. There are 3
independent members and 3 vacant seats.
The executive power in each province is vested in the Lieutenant
Governor, appointed by the Governor General on the advice of the
federal Cabinet. The Lieutenant Governor’s powers are exercised on the
advice of the provincial cabinet, which is responsible to the
legislative assembly. Each provincial legislature is composed of a
Lieutenant Governor and a legislative assembly made up of members
elected for a period of five years. The practice of selecting the
provincial premier and the provincial cabinet in each province follows
that described for the federal level, as does dissolution of a
legislature.

The judicial branch of government in Canada is composed of an
integrated set of courts created by federal and provincial law. At the
federal level there are two principal courts, the Supreme Court of
Canada which is the highest appeal court in Canada and the Federal
Court of Canada which, among other things, deals with federal revenue
laws and claims involving the Government. Judges of the two federally
constituted courts and those of the provincial superior and county
courts are appointed by the Governor General on the advice of the
federal Cabinet and hold office during good behavior until age 70 or
75. Judges of the magistrates courts (commonly now known as provincial
courts) are appointed by the provincial government and usually hold
office until age 65 or 70.
Constitutional Reform
In April 1982, Her Majesty the Queen proclaimed the Constitution Act,
1982, terminating British legislative jurisdiction over Canada’s
Constitution. The Constitution Act, 1982 provides that Canada’s
Constitution may be amended pursuant to an amending formula contained
therein and contains the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms,
including the linguistic rights of Canada’s two major language groups.
The government of Québec did not sign the constitutional agreement
which led to the repatriation of the Canadian Constitution and the
proclamation of the Constitution Act, 1982. Although Québec is legally
bound by the Constitution Act, 1982, the government of Québec set out
five conditions for accepting the legal legitimacy of the Act.
Discussions on those principles led on April 30, 1987 at Meech Lake to
a unanimous agreement by First Ministers on principles respecting each
of Québec’s conditions.
A constitutional resolution to give effect to the Meech Lake Accord
was adopted by Parliament and eight provinces before the deadline for
ratification on June 23, 1990. In the absence of ratification by
Newfoundland and Manitoba, the amendment was not adopted. In the wake
of this event, the most extensive series of public consultations on
constitutional matters ever to occur in Canada began through the work
of both provincial and federal commissions and committees, among other
things. Recommendations produced by this process were then assessed by
a series of multilateral negotiations involving the federal,
provincial and territorial governments and four national Aboriginal
organizations, held from April to July 1992. Agreement was reached on
a wide range of constitutional issues through the multilateral process
which led to a First Ministers’ Conference held in Charlottetown in
August 1992.
The Charlottetown Accord was an extensive package of reforms agreed
upon by the federal, provincial and territorial governments and the
four Aboriginal organizations. On October 26, 1992 Canadians were
asked in a referendum if they agreed that the Constitution of Canada
should be renewed on the basis of the Charlottetown agreement. A
majority of Canadians in a majority of the provinces, including a
majority in Québec and a majority of Status Indians living on
reserves, declined to provide such a mandate. Consequently,
governments set aside the constitutional issue and announced their
intention to concentrate on social and economic initiatives that do
not require constitutional change.
Québec
Since September 1994, Québec has been governed by the Parti Québécois,
whose platform calls for Québec’s accession to independence. On
October 30, 1995, the government of Québec held a consultative
referendum under provincial law, seeking a mandate to secede from
Canada and proclaim Québec’s independence, after having made a formal
offer of a new economic and political partnership between Québec and
the rest of Canada. The government’s proposal was rejected by a vote
of 50.6% against and 49.4% in favour, with a participation rate of
93%. While all sides accepted the 1995 referendum results, the Parti
Québécois has not abandoned the goal of achieving independence for
Québec.
The Government of Canada and the governments of a number of provinces
outside Québec have taken a series of initiatives since the 1995
referendum aimed at reinforcing Canadian unity, including
non-constitutional measures (notably on provincial responsibility for
labour market programs), demonstrating openness to Québecers’
aspirations, as well as making efforts to clarify the rules governing
any future referendum and the possible consequences of a Québec
secession.

------------------------------
Table of Contents
In September 1996, the Government of Canada referred a series of legal
questions to the Supreme Court of Canada with a view to clarifying, at
both domestic and international law, whether the government of Québec
has the right to secede from Canada unilaterally. On August 20, 1998,
the Supreme Court rendered judgment, ruling that the government of
Québec cannot, under either the Constitution of Canada or
international law, legally effect the unilateral secession of Québec
from Canada. The Supreme Court also stated that, if a clear majority
of Québecers were to clearly and unambiguously express their will to
secede, all governments in Canada would then have a constitutional
obligation to enter into negotiations to address the potential act of
secession as well as its possible terms should, in fact, secession
proceed.
On June 29, 2000, the Government of Canada enacted a law to give
effect to the requirement for clarity set out in the opinion of the
Supreme Court. That law requires the House of Commons to assess, prior
to any future referendum on the secession of a province, whether the
referendum question made clear that the province would cease to be
part of Canada and become an independent country. The law further
requires that, after the vote itself, the House of Commons also assess
whether there appeared to be a clear majority in support of the
question. Only if both these conditions were met would the Government
of Canada be authorized to enter into negotiations which might lead to
the constitutional amendments required to effect secession.
In September 1997, the Premiers of the nine provinces other than
Québec met in Calgary to launch public consultations on a set of
declaratory principles, including a recognition of the unique
character of Québec society within Canada, which seek to frame the
fundamental values underlying the Canadian federation. Over the winter
and spring of 1998, the legislatures of all nine provinces
participating in the Calgary process passed resolutions of support for
the principles set out in the Calgary declaration.
On November 30, 1998, the Parti Québecois government was re-elected
with a majority of seats (75 out of 125) in Québec’s National
Assembly, though with a vote count of 42% of the votes cast, slightly
below that received by the main opposition party, the federalist
Liberal Party of Québec, which won 48 seats. A third party, the Action
Démocratique du Québec, which advocates a moratorium on further
referenda on secession, took 12% of the votes cast and won 1 seat.
