An "embarrassing" video has gone viral of Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau performing a rendition of 'Bohemian Rhapsody' just two days before Queen Elizabeth’s funeral.
Methinks the Queen's Ghost should be surprised by the antics of Trudeau The Younger after all the apple does not fall from the tree N'esy Pas?

I confirm that I have received your documentation.
There is no need to send us a hard copy. As you have said yourself, the documentation is very voluminous and after 3 days, we are still in the process of printing it.
I have asked one of my lawyers to review it in my absence and report back to me upon my return in the office. We will then provide you with a reply.

I did not receive a response from you to the last email so I am not certain if you received it. I must inform you that I will be closing my briefcase in Yahoo for public view at the end of the week. I have a great deal of material to add and I only wish certain parties to view it. I opened it for you the other day as an act of good faith. Mr. Pozen can check my work in the dockets of the various courts around Boston they are a matter of Public Record my files are not. As you can see by this and some following emails. I am very busy dealing with criminal matters first before filing civil complaints in the USA. As I told you when you called a lot has been happening. I have made a lot of cops mad at me and I don't trust them a bit particularly after the Police Commission is willing to check their work so i have been busy watching my back and covering my butt. However that does not mean that I have not thought about our conversation and was curious about a few things.
I was glad to receive your call and impressed by the fact that you were more than willing to receive the material and a copy of the wiretap tape in particular. Your stated willingness to uphold the law was a rare statement to me. However I was curious why you only mentioned my voicemail to Mr. Pozen and not the email to your company and the news program that it owns. Did they not inform you as well? If they didn't I am not surprised because I have some other rather interesting denials from the Media. the most interesting would have to be from the PBS program called Frontline when I introduced its producer Michael Sullivan to the US Attorney Michael J. Sullivan. Now that is a story well worth W5 telling. Too bad they showed me their ass. As a courtesy to you and a further act of good faith, I will not forward this email to anyone else until after I return to the USA and nothing has been resolved between BCE and I and I am compelled to name it in my complaint. I would find it very hard to believe that Mr, Pozen does not know everything he needs to know about me right now.
I had also called a lawyer, Steven Skurka who had a week long little special on CTV . I had tried to inform him that I knew my rights his assistant hollered at me. You from speaking to me yourself that I am not a rude character. I found it too funny to be treated that way and I had resolved to serve him this stuff byway of the local ATV Station that had presented his smiling talking head to me. That is why I was telling you that you could get this stuff from the local ATV station. I found it quite strange that you did not rely on them to send it on to you. Thus I must make an extra copy to comply with your request.
I know the date stamp on the forwarded email is incorrect but that is because my old laptop goes to the first year in it when I boot up and sometimes I am too busy or tired to bother changing it. However MSN tracks it with the true date. Brad Smith and I have a bone to pick as well and I have been checking his work rather closely since he ignored my letter to him last year. His boss Bill Gates is gonna be very angry and Brad Smith and Steve Balmer in the near future if I have anything to do with it. If you do act ethically and immediately I will settle with your company very cheaply in comparsion to the bottom lines of my first two complaints. In fact I will be so impressed I will immediatlely offer you a better job than the one you have now. Please study the material I will provide you closely and ask me any thing you wish.
I will do as I promised and send the material you requested as soon as I can put it all together. Right now I am on the move and far away from my printer. Is the following your correct address? Perhaps you should consider sending someone to the my meeting with the Police Commission in Fredericton next week in order to hear me speak of these matters to law enforcement before I return to the USA. Once I do return there I will serve the Mr. Pozen the material as promised and call him to testify in my pending trial. The following emails should explain some of my concerns to you. My wife will be in Canada next week as well to pick up our kids. I will allow you to speak to her if you wish. She has had a nervous breakdown over the legal crap and I do have her Durable Power of Attorney pursuant to M.G.L. 201 B. Mr. Pozen can ask Robert S. Creedon Jr. about that document. I argued it with him before the entire Judicuary Commitee on Sept. 18th 2003.
I will call you in a minute to make certain that you get this and the following emails.

For the Record I gave the Irving "Rag called the Gleaner" in Fat Fred City and the CBC dudes in Toronto copies of the following lawsuits in the USA in 2002 long before I gave some material to Bellglobemedia byway of their W-Five yo yos. Clearly nobody knows how to read if they don't think I ain't sued folks before EH?
Ask W-Five or their lawyers if I am a liar or not. Better yet ask Stevey Boy Murphy or Andy Campbell in Fat Fred City if they dare to chaleenge the truth. If all else fails and you bloggers seek counsel you can trust why not ask Chucky Leblanc or your "Blogger General" T.J. Burke he received the same documents on June 24th, 2004 the day Danny boy Busierres and the Fat Fred City Finest attempted to banish me from the LEG but it ain't worked out to well for them yet EH Chucky Leblanc? However chucky was quick to report that I was banished the following day and ain't said apeep about it since. Who to you think told him not to talk about it? Kelly lamrock, T.J. Burke. the Irvings or all three?
FYI W-Five took an interest in my matters at about the same time Chretien's underling was calling Bush a moron.(I oftern call myself an oxymoron Methinks somebody has been studing my words EH?) I supported Chretein's underling's thinking in two affidavits demanding judgements by default filed in the following dockets on December 12th, 2002.
The following day Cardinal Law (Methinks that is why chucky hates me so) quit Beantown and ran off to the Holy See. Years later he helped pick the latest Pope(a former Hitler Youth who is making his bones with the croooked little Georgey Boy Bush Jr. right now in the USA.)
Never Forget the Queen is the protector of the Faith of the Church of England . She would not allow her family's assests to be stolen and given to the catholic Church. Why should I act any different?

I am a Canadian Citizen who thus far, as a plaintiff, has two Lawsuits in the US District Court of Massachucetts they are numbered 02-11686- RGS and 02-11687-RGS.
They were removed to that Court from the Norfolk Superior Court by the US Attorney Michael J. Sullivan very improperly. However they shall remain there because of my status as a Canandian Citizen. Judge Sterns has not even held a Conference about the matters because he likely does not want to hear the matter because I have presented all Members of the Bar with their worst fear of a catch 22 problem.
Accordinging to law he is late. I have complained of 47 defendants 34 of whom are State Defendants( the Attorney General, The Commission of Judicial Conduct Board of Bar Overseers etc) and 3 are Federal Treasury Agents. Some of the defendants are over two months late in their answer to the Summons.
The smallest suit amounts to 188 million dollars in the form of relief. There is a lot to these matters and too much to briefly explain. But in a nutshell my wife's Aunt, who is buried beside Rose Kennedy, left my wife some money. It was stolen by her relatives in executing the estate. No news there. But the crooks are very well connected politically and every part of the old crony network in Boston covered for them.
The crook and our cousin, Charles J. Kickham Jr of the Kickham Law Office on Beacon St, has been past President of Bar Associations. He has sat on the Board of Governors of Harvard Law School etc. I have given much information to many members of the press who have simply ignored some interesting facts.
What should be somewhat newsworthy is how far a wild colonial boy has come in prosecuting Pro Se the most profund Yankee carpetbaggers. My next two lawsuits Under title 18 are wickedly righteous. I have left one copy of much information in Saint John New Brunswick at a lawyer's Office, Mosher and Chedore 33 Charlotte St if some one wishes to view them.

Queen Elizabeth had a fondness for the RCMP and specifically asked that members of the RCMP musical ride be included in her funeral procession. The RCMP officers who will be taking part explain their roles in the procession and the preparation required.
Five officers of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) led Queen Elizabeth II's funeral procession in London on Monday.
During the State Funeral on Sept. 19, the troop of officers from the RCMP Musical Ride marched at the front of the procession.
According to the RCMP's riding master Sgt. Maj. Scott Williamson, the Musical Ride has had a "very special" and "quite personal" relationship with the late British monarch. In fact, Queen Elizabeth II specifically asked that riders from the group be included in her funeral procession.
Up to 32 members are part of the RCMP Musical Ride, but Williamson, Cst. Katy Loisel, Cpl. Justine Rogawski, Supt. Kevin Fahey and Cpl. Derek Quilley were chosen for the ceremony.
While Quilley helped assist the delegates, the other Mounties rode horses gifted to the Queen, with Williamson riding Darby, Loisel on George, Rogawski riding Elizabeth and Fahey on Sir John.
"It's a big honour to be part of it and to have been chosen," Loisel toldCBC News. "I never thought I could be here."
Over the years, the RCMP and Queen Elizabeth II held a tight bond. During her royal visit to Canada in 1951, then-Princess Elizabeth and her husband, Prince Philip, saw a performance of the Musical Ride in Regina. Forty-six men and horses were then sent to perform at her coronation in 1953,
Throughout her 70-year reign, the Musical Ride gifted eight of their horses to Queen Elizabeth II. The first included Burmese, a pure black filly born in Saskatchewan in 1969.
For 18 consecutive years, the Queen rode Burmese during the Trooping the Colour ceremony between 1969 to 1986. Once Burmese retired, she never rode another horse for the event.

Out of the four horses that appeared during the State Funeral, George, Sir John and Darby were trained by and performed with the Musical Ride before being gifted to the Queen. The fourth horse, Elizabeth, was gifted to the monarch for her Diamond Jubilee, and was actually named after the Queen Mother.

While the four horses that appeared during the State Funeral were gifted to Queen Elizabeth II, other members of the royal family have taken a liking to them: Charles rides George during Trooping the Colour, while Princess Anne often rides Sir John.
People on social media were glad to see the horses and Canadian Mounties leading the Queen's funeral procession on Monday.
For the funeral procession, the Mounties were followed by George Cross recipients, NHS workers, officers of the Police Service of Northern Ireland and detachments of the Armed Forces. In total, seven groups marched.

Former prime minister Stephen Harper invested into Order of Canada
Gov. Gen. Mary Simon invested Harper in a private ceremony in British capital

If Shakespeare thought misery acquaints people with strange bedfellows, he may well agree that mourning a cherished monarch may also bridge some political divides.
At least temporarily.
Such was the case Sunday in London, when former prime minister Stephen Harper was invested into the Order of Canada while three of his previous political nemeses looked on.
Harper is one of four former prime ministers in the British capital for the funeral of Queen Elizabeth.
He was awarded the Companion of the Order of Canada in 2019, but an investiture ceremony had not taken place because of COVID-19.
As we gather to celebrate HM QEII, I was honoured to be invested into the Order of Canada by @GGCanada Mary Simon. Thank you to @CanadianPM Trudeau, former fellow Prime Ministers Martin, Chrétien, Campbell & former Governors General Johnston & Jean for attending the ceremony.
So Gov. Gen. Mary Simon invested Harper in a private ceremony in London Sunday afternoon while Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, and former prime ministers Jean Chrétien, Paul Martin and Kim Campbell looked on.
"As we gather to celebrate (the Queen), I was honoured to be invested into the Order of Canada by @GG Canada Mary Simon," Harper said, in a tweet posted about the event.
"Thank you to @Canadian PM Trudeau, former fellow Prime Ministers Martin, Chrétien, Campbell & former Governors General Johnston & Jean for attending the ceremony."
Former political foes stood side by side
Former governors general David Johnston, whom Harper appointed, and Michaëlle Jean, were also in attendance.
The bad political blood between Harper and Trudeau in particular is well-documented, but the two posed side by side for photos after the ceremony.
Having multiple former prime ministers and governors general attend a world funeral together is not an unheard of practice.
While Harper was prime minister in 2013, Chrétien, Campbell, Jean, former governor general Adrienne Clarkson and former prime minister Brian Mulroney flew with him to South Africa for the funeral of Nelson Mandela.
'Wonderful to be part of'
In her own tweet last week, Harper's wife, Laureen Teskey Harper responded to a journalist who suggested the flight to London would be interesting with all the political actors on the same plane.
"Interesting," she queried. "Very interesting if past trips are a reference. Lots of laughter, stories and I am sure this time, reminiscing about the Queen. These sort of trips are always wonderful to be part of."
Chrétien spoke briefly to media Sunday and was asked about being around all the other Canadian leaders.
"So many together and no fight," he said laughing. "So that's good."
Interesting? Very interesting if past trips are a reference. Lots of laughter, stories and I am sure this time, reminiscing about the Queen. These sort of trips are always wonderful to be part of.
He said there aren't very many occasions for this kind of gathering.
"We know each other, went through the same struggles," he said. "We fought against each other. Just like when we play hockey, we can be tough on the ice, then we go and have a beer after the game."
Order of Canada ceremonies are not normally held in secret, but Rideau Hall and the Prime Minister's Office chose not to tell media travelling with the delegation about either Harper's event Sunday or a similar one Saturday that saw actress Sandra Oh and Olympic swimmer Mark Tewksbury invested into the Order. No explanation for the secrecy has yet been offered.
Tewksbury later said doing the ceremony allowed him and Oh to wear the Order of Canada insignia to the Queen's funeral, which is set to take place at Westminster Abbey on Monday.
Flowers chosen by the King and a crown with 2,862 diamonds adorned Elizabeth's casket

Flowers chosen by the King. Some of the most storied objects in the Royal Family. And a crown with nearly 3,000 diamonds. These are among the items that were atop Queen Elizabeth's coffin as the world watched her funeral at Westminster Abbey in London Monday.
Here's a closer a look at each of the items atop (and underneath) the coffin today:
On Monday morning, the coffin was placed on a state gun carriage, drawn by 142 Royal Navy service personnel to the nearby abbey past crowds of mourners lining the route.
The gun carriage was also used for the funerals of Edward VII, George V, George VI and former prime minister Winston Churchill.
The flag draped on the coffin is the Royal Standard, which represents both the sovereign and the United Kingdom. It was flown outside her palaces when the Queen was home and on her car on official journeys. If the Union Jack was flying over Buckingham Palace, the Queen wasn't there.
The flag has four quarters: two with lions representing England, a lion for Scotland and a harp for Ireland. (Wales is not represented.)
The crown atop the velvet pillow is the Royal Imperial Crown, which is encrusted with2,868 diamonds, 269 pearls, 17 sapphires, 11 emeralds and four rubies. It was first worn by the Queen when she left Westminster Abbey on the day of her coronation in 1953. It was originally made for the coronation of her father, King George VI, in 1937.
The sceptre and orb on the coffin are, like the crown, among the most well-known parts of the crown jewels, which includes more than 100 objects and 23,000 gemstones. Both were present at the Queen's coronation.
The Sovereign's Sceptre has been used at every coronation since Charles II's in 1661. It is meant to represent the Crown's power and includes the Cullinan I diamond, the largest colourless, cut diamond in the world.
The Sovereign's Orb, meanwhile, is meant to signify that the monarchy's power comes from God.
Before the final hymn at the committal service, the Imperial State Crown, the orb and the sceptre were removed from the coffin and placed on the altar in St. George's Chapel at Windsor Castle.
The wreath of flowers, in shades of gold, pink and deep burgundy, with touches of white, included blooms and foliage cut from the gardens of Buckingham Palace and Clarence House at King Charles's request.
They include rosemary for remembrance, and myrtle cut from a plant that was grown from a sprig of myrtle in the Queen's wedding bouquet in 1947.
The wreath also contained a handwritten note thatread, "In loving and devoted memory," and was signed Charles R — for Rex, or king.
King Charles 'laughing and joking' at party the evening before Queen's death
A veteran royal photographer has shared his memories of King Charles the evening before the Queen's death on Thursday, and how the new Monarch kindly greeted him after the news

King Charles III: Edwards shares insight into night before Queen’s death
King Charles was laughing and joking at a party the night before his beloved mother died, a royal photographer has recalled.
Veteran snapper Arthur Edwards shared his admiration for the new Monarch, and the words they exchanged soon after Queen Elizabeth II's death.
Queen Elizabeth passed away on Thursday, aged 96, after Buckingham Palace said that day that medics were concerned for her health, and she was under medical supervision, with members of the Royal Family rushing to her side.
On Tuesday the Queen, while visibly more frail, had been well enough to meet new Prime Minister, Liz Truss.
Speaking on Piers Morgan Uncensored, veteran royal photographer Arthur Edwards spoke about his interactions with the then Prince of Wales, on Wednesday night.
“I was at Dumfries House with the Prince the night before, we had dinner there. It was a great evening and then the following day, I saw everybody clear out of the hotel quickly.
Arthur went on: "Then I knew something had happened and, of course, when we got the news I felt for the prince actually because I was sad. It’s difficult for him trying to cope with the loss of his mother."
Arthur told Piers that he met the King and Queen Consort at RAF Northolt when they returned to London, after his mother's death.

He said: “He came off the plane, I was the only photographer there at the RAF plane. He came up to me and said, ‘Are you ok?’ I said, ‘I am very sorry about your loss’ and he said, ‘Well it had to happen one day’. Then he just patted me on the arm and then he went off.”
The Sun photographer went on: “On Wednesday night we had a party, we were laughing together, joking together. Then 24 hours later there he is. He’s coping and he’s worried about me. I was a bit overcome by it.”

Arthur went on to describe the new King as a "fantastic person", adding that since his second marriage, he's "much more calm about approaching things."
Earlier today, King Charles and his three siblings mounted a touching vigil around their mother's coffin - hours after an emotional procession saw it taken along Edinburgh's Royal Mile.
King Charles, Prince Andrew, Prince Edward and Princess Anne carried out the first of several Vigil of the Princes at St Giles' Cathedral this evening - guarding the four corners of the coffin for around 10 minutes.

All of the royals looked solemn and lowered their heads as they stood to form a heartbreaking guard around the coffin. Looking on were Queen Consort Camilla, Sophie Wessex and Princess Anne's husband Sir Timothy Laurence.
As they stood guard, Charles wore a kilt made of Prince Charles Edward Stuart tartan and white heather in his lappel from Balmoral.
Andrew was in a morning suit while Anne - the first woman in history to take part in such a ceremony - and Edward were in military dress as members of the public filed past the coffin.

Lt.-Col. Mark Flint was one of 10 New Brunswickers who represented Canada at Queen Elizabeth II's funeral service on Monday.
He currently commands the North Shore (New Brunswick) Regiment in Bathurst, of which the Queen was colonel-in- chief.
Flint said the experience was both a privilege and a challenge.
"It was tremendously detailed planning," Flint told CBC New Brunswick News at 6 on Monday. "The British military did an absolutely fantastic job, both in terms of security and orchestration."
He said this was the biggest security operation he's witnessed, with about 10,000 security personnel spread across London.
Flint said he and about 1,800 other soldiers from around the world rehearsed a full dress practice in the middle of the night after he arrived in London at 1:30 a.m. Wednesday.
N.B holds commemorative service for Queen Elizabeth
Duration 1:37
Procession of honour started at Government House and continued to Fredericton's Christ Church Cathedral before the ceremony.
"We marched that parade route, we went through all of the drills, all of the preparations as if it was the actual procession itself," said Flint.
"It was a little bit eerie being in the middle of the night with no spectators and you're marching down these big streets."
Flint said it was a challenge synchronizing with soldiers from different militaries and learning a new cadence.
But, he felt a sense of honour and privilege marching alongside his counterparts and to be in the presence of the Royal Family during the service at Westminster Abbey.
He said the enormous crowd of spectators remained quiet throughout the parade.

"It was a very sombre moment as we marched the streets and through the arches and all the way up Wellington Gate," said Flint. "It was quite an emotional event."
Procession of honour in Fredericton
In Fredericton, soldiers marched from the Government House to the Christ Church Cathedral on Monday for a commemorative service.
"The whole day will be something you preserve in your memory forever," Premier Blaine Higgs said at the service.
"It shows what convictions Queen Elizabeth II had, her strong faith, the standards that she lived to."
A ceremonial gun salute also took place as part of the service.
Attendance was invitation only, but the event was live streamed for the public.
Quispamsis man waited 12 hours to pay respects to the Queen
CBC’s Rachel Cave spoke with Quispamsis resident Tim Thomson who will be camping on the streets of London to secure a spot for the Queen’s funeral. He called from just down the road to Buckingham Palace.
It should be a small wonder why I told everybody off 3 years ago Rogers TV edited out the best half of this debate when the audience asked questions Trust that I was not surprised when they refused to record the last debate held in Hampton which was a real circus that I and many others truly enjoyed

If you don't wish to speak to me before I begin litigation then I suspect the Integrity Commissioner New Brunswick or the Federal Crown Counsel can explain the email below and the documents hereto attached to you and your Premier etc.
After I heard you speak on CBC I called your office again and managed to speak to one of your staff for the first time
Please find attached the documents I promised to send to the lady who answered the phone this morning. Please notice that not after the Sgt at Arms took the documents destined to your office his pal Tanker Malley barred me in writing with an "English" only document.
These are the hearings and the dockets in Federal Court that I suggested that you study closely.

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?
"FYI This is the text of the lawsuit that should interest Trudeau the most
83 The Plaintiff states that now that Canada is involved in more war in Iraq again it did not serve Canadian interests and reputation to allow Barry Winters to publish the following words three times over five years after he began his bragging:
January 13, 2015 This Is Just AS Relevant Now As When I wrote It During The Debate

Friday, October 3, 2014 Little David Amos’ “True History Of War” Canadian Airstrikes And Stupid Justin Trudeau?
Vertias Vincit David Raymond Amos 902 800 0369
P.S. Whereas this CBC article is about your opinion of the actions of the latest Minister Of Health trust that Mr Boudreau and the CBC have had my files for many years and the last thing they are is ethical. Ask his friends Mr Murphy and the RCMP if you don't believe me.
This will acknowledge receipt of a copy of your e-mail of December 29, 2006 to Corporal Warren McBeath of the RCMP.
Because of the nature of the allegations made in your message, I have taken the measure of forwarding a copy to Assistant Commissioner Steve Graham of the RCMP “J” Division in Fredericton.
Thank you for your follow up e-mail to me today. I was on days off over the holidays and returned to work this evening. Rest assured I was not ignoring or procrastinating to respond to your concerns.
As your attachment sent today refers from Premier Graham, our position is clear on your dead calf issue: Our forensic labs do not process testing on animals in cases such as yours, they are referred to the Atlantic Veterinary College in Charlottetown who can provide these services. If you do not choose to utilize their expertise in this instance, then that is your decision and nothing more can be done.
As for your other concerns regarding the US Government, false imprisonment and Federal Court Dates in the US, etc... it is clear that Federal authorities are aware of your concerns both in Canada the US. These issues do not fall into the purvue of Detachment and policing in Petitcodiac, NB.
It was indeed an interesting and informative conversation we had on December 23rd, and I wish you well in all of your future endeavors.

The Gallant government has introduced legislation to merge several legislative watchdog positions into a single job and has chosen a retired judge to take on the newly expanded role.
Alexandre Deschênes
Alexandre Deschênes, a retired New Brunswick Court of Appeal justice, is to be the first integrity commissioner in New Brunswick.
Retired New Brunswick Court of Appeal justice Alexandre Deschênes will become the province's first integrity commissioner, an appointment supported by the opposition Progressive Conservatives and Green Party Leader David Coon.
Premier Brian Gallant introduced a bill Wednesday to create the position.
For now, Deschênes fills the vacant position of conflict-of-interest commissioner and will also oversee legislation governing the privacy of personal health records.
Next July, Deschênes will add responsibility for the lobbyist registry to his duties.
The Liberals say they will proclaim legislation to set up the registry by next July. The law was passed by the previous PC government in 2014 but not enacted.
Conflict of interest commissioner, MLAs have conflicting views on transparency Commissioner wants mandatory privacy breach reporting N.B. legislature will study cutting independent watchdogs
And next September, after Anne Bertrand, the information and privacy commissioner, finishes her seven-year term, that job will become part of Deschênes's job as integrity commissioner.
An independent study, done as part of the government's program review, recommended the merging of the legislative officer positions.
All parties in the legislature agreed on two other appointments Wednesday: lawyer Michèle Pelletier as consumer advocate for insurance and assistant deputy attorney general Kim Poffenroth as chief electoral officer.J

Judge-moving bill aims to help Dominic LeBlanc, Tory MLA charges Kirk MacDonald says Liberals drafted bill to help put Jolène Richard and André Richard on court
By Jacques Poitras, CBC News Posted: Nov 24, 2016 6:03 PM AT
A Progressive Conservative MLA has taken the unusual step of naming names — including that of a sitting provincial court judge — in his attack on a proposed law on how Court of Queen's Bench judges are transferred.
Kirk MacDonald told the legislature last week that he believes the government bill was drafted to help the spouse and the brother-in-law of federal Liberal MP Dominic LeBlanc, a close ally of Premier Brian Gallant. nb-andre-richard-jolene-richard
A Progressive Conservative MLA believes the Liberal government's judge-moving bill was drafted to help have André Richard and Jolène Richard appointed to the Court of Queen's Bench. (CBC)
"I will give you two names. I will give you Jolène Richard and André Richard, two people I believe are looking for judicial appointments here in New Brunswick," MacDonald said during second-reading debate on the bill.
In fact, Jolène Richard is already a provincial court judge. André Richard is her brother and a senior lawyer at Stewart McKelvey.
Province names new judge, wife of MP Dominic LeBlanc
"Dominic LeBlanc has some judges that he wants to appoint in New Brunswick, and the framework as it currently exists does not allow for that to happen," MacDonald said.
André Richard stated Thursday he "had no involvement in the government's decision to propose changes to the Judicature Act."
"As you know, my sister is already a judge who sits in Moncton. I fail to understand why our names are being brought into this debate." Bill gives veto to minister
The Liberal bill would amend the Judicature Act, which governs how courts operate, to give the justice minister a veto over Chief Justice David Smith of the Court of Queen's Bench transferring judges from one court to another. nb-chief-justice-david-smith
Court of Queen's Bench Chief Justice David Smith has transferred 13 judges since becoming chief justice in 1998. (Acadia University)
PC MLAs have hinted in the past about who they believe the bill was designed to help. But until now, no one was willing to name them.
It's rare for politicians to draw sitting judges into partisan debates, and the veteran Tory MLA did not offer any evidence to back up his allegations. He turned down a request to explain his views in an interview. Parliamentary privilege
Parliamentary privilege protects members of the legislature from being sued for defamation or held in contempt of court for comments they make during proceedings. No such protection exists for things they say outside the legislature.
Provincial court judges such as Richard are appointed by the province, but Court of Queen's Bench justices are named by Ottawa. Both courts are administered by the province, but the current law gives Smith the power to move judges on his court on his own.
Smith has argued the bill would threaten the independence of the courts, which could make it unconstitutional. Bill brought back
The Liberals introduced the bill during the last session, but it didn't pass before the session ended. They brought it back last week.
Justice Minister Denis Landry said last week the bill was designed to bring "best practices" to court administration and end the pattern of justices being named to smaller courthouses and then being transferred soon after.
Judge-moving legislation introduced again 2 chief justices appear at odds over judge-moving bill 7 things list reveals about controversial judge-moving bill
"This is what we want to correct," he said. "If we name a judge, they should reside there, for a long period of time, not just two or three months then move them where they want to go."
Asked whether he'd veto such a transfer, Landry said, "This is what we'll see."
Landry's department said Thursday it would not comment on MacDonald's accusation. Larger locations favoured
MacDonald said during last week's debate that it's true Court of Queen's Bench justices are often appointed to smaller locations and are then moved to one of the three largest cities. Dominic LeBlanc
Federal Fisheries Minister Dominic LeBlanc is a close ally of New Brunswick Premier Brian Gallant. (CBC)
He said that court postings in Moncton, Fredericton, and Saint John are "The positions that everyone seems to want."
And he said the current system for moving judges, "which is controlled by the chief justice, does not work for Dominic LeBlanc and the Liberal Party of New Brunswick," MacDonald said.
Upside to judge-moving bill touted by ex-constitutional lawyer Gallant government's judge-moving bill questioned by legal expert
"They want to change it. They want to have a situation where they have a mechanism to control that decision and to effect change on that decision."
In June, Smith transferred Justice Tracey DeWare from Woodstock to Moncton and Justice Richard Petrie from Saint John to Woodstock.
DeWare was moved to fill a vacancy after Justice Brigitte Robichaud switched to supernumerary, or part-time, status.
Jolène Richard did not respond to interview requests.

Canada’s and Canadians free ride is over. Canada can no longer hide behind Amerka’s and NATO’s skirts.
When I was still in Canadian Forces then Prime Minister Jean Chretien actually committed the Canadian Army to deploy in the second campaign in Iraq, the Coalition of the Willing. This was against or contrary to the wisdom or advice of those of us Canadian officers that were involved in the initial planning phases of that operation. There were significant concern in our planning cell, and NDHQ about of the dearth of concern for operational guidance, direction, and forces for operations after the initial occupation of Iraq. At the “last minute” Prime Minister Chretien and the Liberal government changed its mind. The Canadian government told our amerkan cousins that we would not deploy combat troops for the Iraq campaign, but would deploy a Canadian Battle Group to Afghanistan, enabling our amerkan cousins to redeploy troops from there to Iraq. The PMO’s thinking that it was less costly to deploy Canadian Forces to Afghanistan than Iraq. But alas no one seems to remind the Liberals of Prime Minister Chretien’s then grossly incorrect assumption. Notwithstanding Jean Chretien’s incompetence and stupidity, the Canadian Army was heroic, professional, punched well above it’s weight, and the PPCLI Battle Group, is credited with “saving Afghanistan” during the Panjway campaign of 2006.
What Justin Trudeau and the Liberals don’t tell you now, is that then Liberal Prime Minister Jean Chretien committed, and deployed the Canadian army to Canada’s longest “war” without the advice, consent, support, or vote of the Canadian Parliament.
What David Amos and the rest of the ignorant, uneducated, and babbling chattering classes are too addled to understand is the deployment of less than 75 special operations troops, and what is known by planners as a “six pac cell” of fighter aircraft is NOT the same as a deployment of a Battle Group, nor a “war” make.
The Canadian Government or The Crown unlike our amerkan cousins have the “constitutional authority” to commit the Canadian nation to war. That has been recently clearly articulated to the Canadian public by constitutional scholar Phillippe Legasse. What Parliament can do is remove “confidence” in The Crown’s Government in a “vote of non-confidence.” That could not happen to the Chretien Government regarding deployment to Afghanistan, and it won’t happen in this instance with the conservative majority in The Commons regarding a limited Canadian deployment to the Middle East.
President George Bush was quite correct after 911 and the terror attacks in New York; that the Taliban “occupied” and “failed state” Afghanistan was the source of logistical support, command and control, and training for the Al Quaeda war of terror against the world. The initial defeat, and removal from control of Afghanistan was vital and essential for the security and tranquility of the developed world. An ISIS “caliphate,” in the Middle East, no matter how small, is a clear and present danger to the entire world. This “occupied state,” or“failed state” will prosecute an unending Islamic inspired war of terror against not only the “western world,” but Arab states “moderate” or not, as well. The security, safety, and tranquility of Canada and Canadians are just at risk now with the emergence of an ISIS“caliphate” no matter how large or small, as it was with the Taliban and Al Quaeda “marriage” in Afghanistan.
One of the everlasting “legacies” of the “Trudeau the Elder’s dynasty was Canada and successive Liberal governments cowering behind the amerkan’s nuclear and conventional military shield, at the same time denigrating, insulting them, opposing them, and at the same time self-aggrandizing ourselves as “peace keepers,” and progenitors of “world peace.” Canada failed. The United States of Amerka, NATO, the G7 and or G20 will no longer permit that sort of sanctimonious behavior from Canada or its government any longer. And Prime Minister Stephen Harper, Foreign Minister John Baird , and Cabinet are fully cognizant of that reality. Even if some editorial boards, and pundits are not.
Justin, Trudeau “the younger” is reprising the time “honoured” liberal mantra, and tradition of expecting the amerkans or the rest of the world to do “the heavy lifting.” Justin Trudeau and his “butt buddy” David Amos are telling Canadians that we can guarantee our security and safety by expecting other nations to fight for us. That Canada can and should attempt to guarantee Canadians safety by providing “humanitarian aid” somewhere, and call a sitting US president a “war criminal.” This morning Australia announced they too, were sending tactical aircraft to eliminate the menace of an ISIS “caliphate.”
In one sense Prime Minister Harper is every bit the scoundrel Trudeau “the elder” and Jean ‘the crook” Chretien was. Just As Trudeau, and successive Liberal governments delighted in diminishing, marginalizing, under funding Canadian Forces, and sending Canadian military men and women to die with inadequate kit and modern equipment; so too is Prime Minister Stephen Harper. Canada’s F-18s are antiquated, poorly equipped, and ought to have been replaced five years ago. But alas, there won’t be single RCAF fighter jock that won’t go, or won’t want to go, to make Canada safe or safer.
My Grandfather served this country. My father served this country. My Uncle served this country. And I have served this country. Justin Trudeau has not served Canada in any way. Thomas Mulcair has not served this country in any way. Liberals and so called social democrats haven’t served this country in any way. David Amos, and other drooling fools have not served this great nation in any way. Yet these fools are more than prepared to ensure their, our safety to other nations, and then criticize them for doing so.
Canada must again, now, “do our bit” to guarantee our own security, and tranquility, but also that of the world. Canada has never before shirked its responsibility to its citizens and that of the world.
Prime Minister Harper will not permit this country to do so now

This is to confirm that the Minister of National Defence has received your email and it will be reviewed in due course. Please do not reply to this message: it is an automatic acknowledgement.
I talked to Don Newman earlier this week before the beancounters David Dodge and Don Drummond now of Queen's gave their spin about Canada's Health Care system yesterday and Sheila Fraser yapped on and on on CAPAC during her last days in office as if she were oh so ethical.. To be fair to him I just called Greg Weston (613-288-6938) I suggested that he should at least Google SOUCOM and David Amos It would be wise if he check ALL of CBC's sources before he publishes something else about the DND EH Don Newman? Lets just say that the fact that your old CBC buddy, Tony Burman is now in charge of Al Jazeera English never impressed me. The fact that he set up a Canadian office is interesting though
Anyone can call me back and stress test my integrity after they read this simple pdf file. BTW what you Blue Sky dudes pubished about Potash Corp and BHP is truly funny. Perhaps Stevey Boy Harper or Brad Wall will fill ya in if you are to shy to call mean old me.
"But Lang, defence minister McCallum's chief of staff, says military brass were not entirely forthcoming on the issue. For instance, he says, even McCallum initially didn't know those soldiers were helping to plan the invasion of Iraq up to the highest levels of command, including a Canadian general.
That general is Walt Natynczyk, now Canada's chief of defence staff, who eight months after the invasion became deputy commander of 35,000 U.S. soldiers and other allied forces in Iraq. Lang says Natynczyk was also part of the team of mainly senior U.S. military brass that helped prepare for the invasion from a mobile command in Kuwait."
"I remember years ago when the debate was on in Canada, about there being weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. Our American 'friends" demanded that Canada join into "the Coalition of the Willing. American "veterans" and sportscasters loudly denounced Canada for NOT buying into the US policy.
At the time I was serving as a planner at NDHQ and with 24 other of my colleagues we went to Tampa SOUCOM HQ to be involved in the planning in the planning stages of the op....and to report to NDHQ, that would report to the PMO upon the merits of the proposed operation. There was never at anytime an existing target list of verified sites where there were deployed WMD.
Coalition assets were more than sufficient for the initial strike and invasion phase but even at that point in the planning, we were concerned about the number of "boots on the ground" for the occupation (and end game) stage of an operation in Iraq. We were also concerned about the American plans for occupation plans of Iraq because they at that stage included no contingency for a handing over of civil authority to a vetted Iraqi government and bureaucracy.
There was no detailed plan for Iraq being "liberated" and returned to its people...nor a thought to an eventual exit plan. This was contrary to the lessons of Vietnam but also to current military thought, that folks like Colin Powell and "Stuffy" Leighton and others elucidated upon. "What's the mission" how long is the mission, what conditions are to met before US troop can redeploy? Prime Minister Jean Chretien and the PMO were even at the very preliminary planning stages wary of Canadian involvement in an Iraq operation....History would prove them correct. The political pressure being applied on the PMO from the George W Bush administration was onerous
American military assets were extremely overstretched, and Canadian military assets even more so It was proposed by the PMO that Canadian naval platforms would deploy to assist in naval quarantine operations in the Gulf and that Canadian army assets would deploy in Afghanistan thus permitting US army assets to redeploy for an Iraqi operation....The PMO thought that "compromise would save Canadian lives and liberal political capital.. and the priority of which ....not necessarily in that order. "
You can bet that I called these sneaky Yankees again today EH John Adams? of the CSE within the DND?
