How to protect yourself from real-estate title fraud
Title fraud involves stealing a homeowner's identity to refinance or sell home without them knowing
Yesterday, CBC News reported on a Toronto family that was able to thwart an attempted scam where someone used fake identification to pose as the 95-year-old homeowner and convinced real estate agents to list the home for sale without the family's knowledge or permission.
The case resembles an ongoing Toronto police investigation, in which police say two homeowners left Canada for work in January 2022 only to learn months later that their property had been sold without their knowledge by people using fake identification.
So, what is title fraud and how can you prevent it from happening?
What is title fraud?
Title fraud takes place when a person uses fake identification or forged documents to steal the identity of a homeowner and take away their "title," or legal ownership of a property.
Once fraudsters have their hands on a property's title, they can re-mortgage it, sell it to an unsuspecting buyer, or extract value from it in some other way and make away with the proceeds.
Homeowners often don't learn about what's happened until they receive notice of missed payments or they try to sell, title insurance company First Canadian Title (FCT) says on its website.
It can take considerable time, money and effort to deal with having to restore your title and/or remove any fraudulently registered mortgages.

Victims of title fraud lose the right to mortgage their home, can no longer leverage the equity and can't sell the property until they re-establish their title rights through the courts, according to FCT.
"It can take considerable time, money and effort to deal with having to restore your title and/or remove any fraudulently registered mortgages," FCT writes on its website.
Morris Cooper, a civil litigation lawyer in Toronto who successfully argued a landmark case in 2006 that shifted the responsibility for title fraud from victims to lending institutions, said seniors and people who rent out their homes to tenants can be at a high risk of title fraud.
But homeowners can take steps to protect themselves.
Take steps to protect your identity
Stealing a person's identity is often the first step in title fraud.
Government-issued identity documents, including driver's licences, passports, birth certificates, social insurance number (SIN) cards and citizenship cards, can all be used to apply for mortgages or to take steps to buy or sell a home.
The Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre offers the following tips for preventing identity theft:
- Be wary of who you share personal information with.
- Regularly check credit card reports, bank and credit card statements and report anything irregular.
- Shred documents containing personal information before placing them in the garbage.
- Limit mail theft by regularly retrieving mail.
- Notify the post office, financial institutions and other service providers of your new address when you move.

Get title insurance
Title insurance is an insurance policy that protects property owners and their lenders against losses related to the property's title or ownership, including from title fraud, according to the Financial Services Regulatory Authority of Ontario (FSRAO).
While it can't prevent you from becoming a victim of fraud, it is the single most important thing to mitigate its consequences.

"Title insurance will step in and save you in a situation like this," said Varun Sriskana, a realtor, property manager and housing advocate based in Toronto. "It protects you in case someone defrauds you."
Title insurance can cover legal expenses incurred by homeowners seeking to restore their right to their property's title, according to FCT.
It protects homeowners from fraudulent claims on their property and pays for legal expenses to re-establish the homeowner's title rights.
WATCH | Mortgage and title fraud 'nothing new,' Toronto real estate agent says:
If a buyer unwittingly buys a home that's been fraudulently listed, the insurance should also protect them. In cases like that, the true owner will likely get their home back and the unwitting buyer will get their money back.
Know who you're dealing with
People on both sides of a real-estate transaction should make sure they're comfortable with the identity of the person on the other side of the deal, said Stephen Moranis, past president of the Toronto Regional Real Estate Board.
That means potential tenants should ensure the landlord actually owns the property, while landlords should check references and request documents like credit scores to verify potential tenants, Moranis said.
"Either side should be very, very careful to verify and ensure that the other party they're dealing with is actually in a position, a legal position, to either lease or or sell the property that they're considering," said Moranis.
Murtaza Haider, a professor of data science and real estate management at Toronto Metropolitan University, said he spoke to neighbours the last time he was looking to purchase a home, asking them about the property and the current owners in a search for potential red flags.
Simply Googling a person's name and cross-checking social media photos can also help turn up any irregularities, Haider said.
Preventing title fraud by renters
Homeowners who rent their homes to tenants could be at a higher risk of fraud because the tenants have physical access to the home.
Landlords should take steps to make sure that documents containing personal information like driver's licence renewal applications or tax returns don't fall into the wrong hands, Haider said.
"Make sure that your mail stays with you. Make sure that you have a forwarding address," said Haider. "Make sure that they don't end up in the hands of people that you don't want other than yourself."

Haider said homeowners can also search for their property online from time to time to see if it's being inappropriately listed for sale or on a rental website like AirBnB.
"It's always good to be checking the address, checking it at various locations on the internet to see your property is being used for for the intended use," Haider said.
Landlords should also rely on banking information, rather than cash payments, as that adds another layer of due diligence, Haider said.
The Ontario government also provides a free, online tool that allows any member of the public to check the validity and current status of a driver's licence. Driver's licence numbers that come up as invalid could be a red flag.
It's happened again. 2nd Toronto home listed for sale without homeowner's knowledge
Like recent case Toronto police are investigating, fraudster impersonated homeowner
The family had turned to a local Royal LePage brokerage where two real estate agents helped them find and screen tenants to rent the house located just off Queen Street East near Kew Gardens in The Beach neighbourhood starting in December 2021.
That began a chain of events that Walsh describes as "the ultimate real estate nightmare."
The family later learned the tenants chosen had used fake identity documents and bogus references on their lease application, and Walsh said police eventually referred to them as "ghosts" after trying to locate them.
What's more, just weeks after the lease agreement was signed, the family found out that someone posing as the 95-year-old homeowner had hired two different real estate agents from another Royal LePage brokerage to list the house for sale without the family's knowledge or permission.
The home was staged with furniture, advertised online for $1.29 million and quickly generated a flurry of offers, Walsh said. One came in at $1.9 million.
"I can't even form words to describe that moment at that time because it's just so unbelievably out there," Walsh said. "You're going, 'What happened? What's going on?'"
Melissa Walsh, whose great uncle's Toronto home was listed for sale last year after someone impersonated him, says the incident raises questions about whether the real estate industry does enough to verify the identities of the people they work with. (Submitted by Melissa Walsh)
Walsh's family was able to put an end to the attempted scam before the house could be fraudulently sold, but the case bears a striking resemblance to an investigation the Toronto Police Service (TPS) asked for the public's help with last week, in which another family wasn't so lucky.
In that case, police say two homeowners left Canada for work in January 2022 — the same month Walsh's great uncle's home was listed for sale — only to learn months later that their property had been sold without their knowledge by people using fake identification.
In an email viewed by CBC News, a TPS detective in the force's financial crimes unit who is investigating told Walsh the two cases are "related." Walsh said the detective subsequently told her the fake name used by the male tenant who rented her great uncle's home was also used in the TPS case.
CBC News is not identifying the names of the fraudulent tenants as doing so may identify the victims of identity theft.
"At first, we thought it was mostly just a handful of real estate agents that weren't doing their job, but then after hearing about this other house, I think there's definitely a deeper problem with the real estate industry," Walsh said.
Over the past year, CBC News has reported on numerous allegations of fake identifications and other documents being used to rent homes and take out fraudulent mortgages, but these attempted home thefts appear to take real estate fraud to an alarming new level.
Walsh says she was shocked when her family learned her great uncle's home was listed for sale, and that two listing agents they had never hired had been granted access to the home to stage it with furniture. (Submitted by Melissa Walsh)
Red flags
Walsh said the two cases raise questions about whether real estate agents in the multibillion dollar industry are doing enough to verify the identities of potential tenants, homesellers and homebuyers.
In her family's case, she said documentation provided by the tenants and the person impersonating her great uncle contained several red flags that the agents should have picked up on, beginning with the fact that the person impersonating Walsh's great uncle spelled his name wrong twice when signing documents.
When screening the two potential tenants, the agents collected photocopies of their driver's licences, contact information for their employers and personal references, and credit history checks.
The companies listed as employers had very little online presence, including no website.
When CBC called the phone numbers, those given for the employers were out of service, as was one of the personal references. The second personal reference appeared to be a wrong number.
CBC News also ran the three driver's licence numbers through the Ontario government's free driver's licence check tool.
A man and a woman provided these driver's licences when applying to rent the home. When CBC News checked the validity of the licence numbers using a free online tool, both came back as unrecognized. (CBC)
The two licences provided by the tenants on their lease application came up as "not found," meaning they were not recognized Ontario driver's licence numbers. The licence number provided by the person impersonating the 95-year-old homeowner on his listing application came back as "not valid," meaning it had been suspended, cancelled or expired.
It's unclear whether any of the agents involved ever called the references and, if they did, what response they received. It's also unclear whether they checked the validity of the driver's licences, or what the status of the licences would have been in November 2021 or January 2022, respectively.
'A coordinated scheme'
In a statement, a spokesperson for Royal LePage said it doesn't govern day-to-day operations at its brokerages, which are all independently owned and operated. But licensed sales representatives are obligated to abide by industry regulations and to perform due diligence as laid out by the regulating body.
"This very unfortunate incident was clearly a coordinated scheme aiming to take advantage of real estate professionals and an innocent family," communications director Anne-Elise Cugliari Allegritti wrote.
"The Royal LePage agents in question followed all due protocol and had no reason to suspect that any suspicious activity had taken place."
According to the Real Estate Council of Ontario (RECO), the industry regulator, both provincial and federal legislation requires real estate professionals to confirm the identity of all individuals, including buyers and sellers, involved in a real estate transaction.
"The most common [method] would be to rely on government-issued photo identification to assure themselves of the identity of the person they are dealing with," RECO said in an email.
"Also, the local public land registry information about the owners of every property within the municipality, which ought to be confirmed before engaging to sell a property, is readily available to agents."
Federal guidancedocuments that RECO identified as the industry standard tell agents they can determine whether a person's government-issued ID is "authentic, valid and current" by viewing it in the presence of the person being identified and analyzing its characteristics and security features.
Identification can also be verified without the person physically present by using a scanned version paired with a live video chat or photo of the person being identified, according to the guidance.
ID rules too lax, realtor says
Varun Sriskanda, a realtor, property manager and housing policy advocate who was not involved in either fraudulent incident, said these requirements are too lax to prevent identity theft, mortgage fraud and title fraud.
"We only collect one piece of government-issued ID. That means that the fraudster only needs to forge one piece of government-issued ID," said Sriskanda.
"All you need is to convince your realtor that you are that person standing in front of them and that that identity document is yours. After that, that house goes on MLS."
Sriskanda said provincial rules should change to require agents to check at least two different pieces of ID to make it more difficult for fraudsters to dupe agents — something he said he already does as a matter of practice.

Morris Cooper, a civil litigation lawyer in Toronto who successfully argued a landmark case of mortgage fraud in 2006, said the onus shouldn't be on agents.
"They're salespeople. They get paid if the sale closes, and they don't get paid if it doesn't," Morris said. "The gatekeepers are really the real estate lawyers who handle the transaction of the purchase and sale, and they are obliged to satisfy themselves as to the identity of their clients in all cases."
Walsh said her family's experience has shaken her faith in the real estate industry.
"At the end of the day, you just kind of assume that these people are doing their jobs, that there are those regulatory bodies that have these rules to follow to make sure that nobody is getting their properties sold from beneath them, but clearly those systems aren't in place," she said.

March 16, 2016 By Jim Windle BRANTFORD – Not very many people living in Ontario are aware that there is no such thing as the Ontario land registry, which registers and records all land transactions in the province. It’s all been sourced out to a private corporation. About 15 years ago the province hired Teranet, a private firm, to digitize, register and transact real estate deals and titles, both old and new. Martin McDermott was caught on the horns of this beast while dealing with land in Ancaster once owned by his now deceased mother. He believes the change in the Ontario land registry system and its software is or could be just as easily used to unfairly deal with certain Six Nations land claims and title issues.

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

Progressive Conservative MLA calls it quits at provincial level Brian Macdonald won't run again for legislature seat, but might try federal politics CBC News · Posted: May 28, 2018 6:07 PM AT | Last Updated: May 28 Brian Macdonald, a Progressive Conservative MLA, has announced he won't run in the Sept. 24 provincial election. (CBC) New Brunswick's Progressive Conservative party is losing one of its highest-profile MLAs just months before the next provincial election. Brian Macdonald says he won't be a candidate this fall and may instead jump into federal politics. Calling the last year "my best year in politics," the two-term MLA said his decision has nothing to do with PC Leader Blaine Higgs, who beat Macdonald for the party leadership in 2016. "It's been a really good year," Macdonald said. "I've had a strong voice in the legislature on issues that are really important to my heart. "I also think it can be a challenge being in provincial politics. It's very small, it's very close, it's very tight, and on a personal basis, I want to move on." Macdonald says he’s considering running for the federal Conservative nomination in New Brunswick Southwest, which includes part of the riding of Fredericton West-Hanwell, where he has been the MLA. (CBC) Macdonald said he's considering running for the federal Conservative nomination in New Brunswick Southwest, a constituency that includes part of Macdonald's provincial riding of Fredericton West-Hanwell. Health critic slams 'gutting' of top doctor's office Blaine Higgs faces internal PC dissent over appointment That decision would pit him against former Conservative MP John Williamson, who announced May 21 he'll also seek the nomination in the riding he represented from 2011 to 2015. Party members in the riding will nominate their candidate June 28. Macdonald said he'll also consider running federally in Fredericton. The former soldier said he's also looking at job opportunities with national organizations that advocate for veterans. "I'm looking for opportunities and considering a lot of options," he said. Blaine Higgs wins N.B. PC leadership race on 3rd ballot Tory leadership hopefuls scramble to be 'second choice' of rivals' supporters Macdonald is the fifth candidate from the 2016 provincial PC leadership race to opt against running in this year's election under Higgs. Macdonald said he is confident he would have won his riding again and the Tories will win the election Sept. 24, meaning he'd have a shot of becoming a minister. But he said being a provincial politician "does wear on you and it does make you think about what the other options are. … If I go another four years in provincial politics, it concerns me that my options would be limited after that." The 47-year-old also said the recent death of some friends made him realize he should pursue other opportunities when he can. Macdonald's interest in federal politics has been well-known for years. He was a political assistant to former federal Defence Minister Peter MacKay and sought the federal Conservative nomination for Fredericton for the 2008 election. After failing to win that nomination, he ran provincially in Fredericton-Silverwood in 2010 and was elected. He was re-elected in the newly created riding of Fredericton West-Hanwell in 2014, when he defeated then-NDP leader Dominic Cardy. Macdonald ran for the leadership of the New Brunswick Progressive Conservative Party but lost to Blaine Higgs. (Jacques Poitras/CBC) In 2016, Macdonald ran for the PC leadership, placing sixth on the first ballot out of seven candidates. Macdonald said he doesn't think his departure will hurt the provincial party's chances of holding on to Fredericton West-Hanwell. "It's going to be very attractive to a number of high-calibre candidates who are now beginning to come forward," he said. | |

Mom, daughter face homelessness after buying home and tenant refuses to leave
Elsie Kalu lost job, seeking shelters, and begging Landlord Tenant Board for hearing
An Ottawa homeowner says she and her daughter could soon be homeless because they can't move into the townhouse she bought in April due to a tenant who refuses to leave — and she blames the Ontario government for failing her family.
Elsie Kalu says the ordeal led to her losing her job, plus she is now at risk of getting kicked out of her rental and faces threats of foreclosure — losing her property to the mortgage lender. She is begging Ontario's Landlord and Tenant Board (LTB) to grant her a hearing so she can state her case to evict her tenant and finally move into the home she bought.
"Why would the government allow another person to take everything from one person? It's like robbing the poor to pay the poor," said Kalu, standing outside of the home she hasn't entered since buying it.
"It can't be right. I cannot provide social services for another citizen. I'm not rich enough."
It's like robbing the poor to pay the poor.
- Elsie Kalu, Homeowner
Kalu became a small landlord when she purchased a townhome in the city's eastern suburb of Orléans.
Small landlords — those who typically own just one or two rental units — can become homeless when a tenant refuses to pay rent and leave a space the landlord needs for their own accommodations.
CBC previously spoke to landlords who were homeless due to major delays in getting a hearing and eviction order from the LTB — the body that makes decisions for disputes between landlords and tenants.
Kalu moved across the river from Gatineau, Que., to Ottawa in 2021 to access better health-care services for her daughter, who has autism.
She bought the townhome sight unseen during the pandemic real estate boom through a real estate wholesaler, which buys and sells off-market homes at below-market value, and avoids realtor fees — a risky move, she acknowledged in hindsight.

It was only after signing the purchase agreement in January, Kalu said, when she found out she had an unco-operative tenant and a male occupant.
Kalu closed on the home in April but says she's received no rent so far, and has started a file with the LTB about this.
CBC has tried to contact the two occupants.
When a reporter knocked on their door, which was barricaded from inside with plastic boxes, they did not answer and shut their curtain as music blared from inside the home.
A lawyer representing them said Kalu should go through the LTB "if she believes that she is actually owed rent."
No job, no money for daughter's therapy
The LTB has a service standard to schedule hearings within 25 business days. An update this July says it should take seven to eight months.
Kalu filed an eviction application to the LTB in May.
Since then, she's trying to fork out more than $5,000 a month for the home she's currently renting, and utilities, plus the mortgage, condo fees, and property taxes for her Orléans home.
According to her LTB submission, Kalu lost her job this August as a financial adviser, which required her to pass a regular credit score check. She's been taking out loans and racking up her credit card debt, so her score didn't meet her company threshold.
"I'm just sinking ... Financially, it has wrecked me," said Kalu. "This has ruined me emotionally and mentally."

The submission goes on to say Kalu's four-year-old daughter was diagnosed with autism last year, but still can't attend the school near the new home, which promised to provide her a speech therapist and other resources.
For the past three months, Kalu said she stopped critical therapy for her daughter because she can't afford it.
Denied expedited hearing, foreclosure threat
Then earlier this month, Kalu's lender sent her an email indicating it would consider legal action should she miss another mortgage payment this December.
"So if the LTB doesn't help me ... everything I've worked for, all that I've invested, I could just lose it," she said.
Kalu's current landlord also issued her a notice to end her tenancy for missing one month's rent.
Kalu says she's called three local shelters — one that had a wait list of two years, and the others said they can't accept her until she's actually homeless.
"So basically, 'we cannot help you until the day you'll be really ending up in the gutter,'" said Kalu.
Kalu holds a document from the LTB, denying her an expedited hearing, citing her issues aren't urgent enough. (Francis Ferland/CBC)
Kalu's paralegal filed a request to expedite her hearing. The LTB refused in September saying the case isn't urgent enough, according to its threshold.
"I'm frustrated, I'm outraged, I'm angry and I'm sad," said Kalu. "They can't stay forever because I can't [continue to] pay [the] mortgage and be homeless, and that's what's about to happen now."
"My daughter can't end up on the streets. I cannot end up on the streets ... I need my home."
Tenant silent, lawyer responds
Kalu gave her tenant an N12 notice this April — a form under Ontario's Residential and Tenancies Act to notify tenants about a landlord's intention to move in. She's also served the tenant multiple N4 notices for non-payment.
Lawyer Michael Thiele, who represents the tenant and the male occupant, said in an email that his clients have "the right to occupy the premises for an indefinite period of time."
"Everyone knows how inflation has caused rents to skyrocket. Affordability is a huge problem. Moving onto the street is not an option," Thiele wrote.
When asked why the tenant hasn't paid rent, Thiele suggested Kalu take it up with the LTB "if she believes that she is actually owed rent," but didn't elaborate or provide proof of payment when CBC followed up.
Kalu has a separate application open with the LTB for the tenant's non-payment of rent.
WATCH | Kalu tries to enter her home for the 5th time with CBC Ottawa:
According to Kalu's submission, the occupants refused to let her inspect the home four times despite 24-hour notices — by posting doctor's letters on their door citing COVID concerns stating they're unvaccinated.
Thiele responded to this stating the household is "entitled to protect themselves."
A landlord can enter a rental unit after giving 24-hour notice to carry out an inspection to see if it's in good repair, to carry out repairs, or for "any other reasonable reason" set out in the lease, according to the Residential Tenancies Act.
The occupants also refused to let an appraiser in to appraise the home, the LTB submission states, so Kalu couldn't get financing with her bank — forcing her to delay the closing and use a private lender with an 8.99 per cent interest rate and two per cent lender fee.
"The rights of entry are stipulated in the Residential Tenancies Act. This is not one of them," Thiele wrote. "Why should a tenant allow a landlord to enter a property to snoop around? This is the tenant's home and arguing that the tenant should open her door to the whims of the landlord disregards the fact that a person has the right to privacy in their home. The tenant doesn't need a reason to refuse. The landlord needs a legal reason to enter — the difference is significant."
The Act states a landlord can enter to allow a potential mortgagee or insurer to view the unit.
Kalu's LTB submission also states an occupant told her "the house is dilapidated," but refused to allow tradespeople she hired to enter.
Thiele said his client disagrees with this characterization, and said the tenant may file against Kalu at the LTB for the condition of the house, citing rent abatement.

Kalu said in her submission that the first time she met the tenant and the male occupant, they closed the garage door on her and her daughter's head.
In response, Thiele said tenants may have the right "to repel trespassers who refuse to leave" and said landlords can call police should they feel they have been wronged.
CBC asked the LTB for submissions or responses filed by the tenant in relation to Kalu's eviction and non-payment applications, but the LTB said it found none.WATCH | Small landlords advocate talks possible solutions for LTB backlog:
CBC spoke with the previous landlord who said he's rented the home to the tenant for about a decade.
He said he began having issues with the two occupants just before the pandemic, when he notified them he wanted to sell the home after getting diagnosed with cancer.
The former landlord said the LTB had failed him, too, as he never made it through an eviction hearing after applying for one.
Who's responsible for failing landlords?
"My anger to [the tenant] is limited, but my anger to the government, my anger to LTB, that is the part that really drives me crazy," said Kalu.
"They should not let this happen."
In an email to CBC, Ontario's Landlord Tenant Board blames the Ontario government's temporary moratorium pausing eviction hearings from March to August 2020 for its longer-than-average wait times and backlog. It's working to modernize operations and hire more staff to help go through the backlog, a spokesperson wrote.
It says, as of Sept. 30, there were 36 full-time and 47 part-time adjudicators at the LTB.
The LTB would not answer whether the board was responsible for failing small landlords, redirecting the question to the Ontario Attorney General's office. That office declined to comment.
When asked who could compensate small landlords who have become homeless, forfeited their homes, and lost thousands of dollars in arrears due to LTB delays, the tribunal referred CBC to Ontario's Housing Ministry.
When asked whether there are discussions to create separate considerations for small landlords in the Residential Tenancies Act, which advocates say is allowing some to fall through the cracks, the LTB again referred CBC to the Housing Ministry.
The Housing ministry also didn't answer those questions directly, but said it's committed to the well-being of Ontarians, continuing its work on homeless prevention, and "making sure tenants and landlords are treated fairly."
Small Ownership Landlords of Ontario, who's advocating for small landlords like Kalu, calls the LTB's delays 'cruel and unusual punishment'. (Francis Ferland/CBC)
"This is a cruel and unusual punishment [for Kalu]," said Varun Sriskanda, a board member with Small Ownership Landlords of Ontario, a not-for-profit group for small landlords.
The LTB must fix its backlog as soon as possible, Sriskanda said.
It needs to hire more adjudicators and stop doing hearings virtually, as it's allowed for delays and distractions by those who aren't tech-savvy, he said. The $19 million the Ontario government pledged this year to tribunals won't go far enough, he said.
"It's an absolute mess," said Sriskanda. "It's failing tenants and landlords entirely."

Ontario Increases Funds for Clearing Landlord Tenant Board Backlog
Ottawa Lawyer, Michael Thiele Weighs In on the Announcement
In a recent interview with the Ottawa Citizen, Michael Thiele, an Ottawa lawyer who represents both landlords and tenants, offered his views on the latest announcement by the Ontario government. Attorney General Doug Downey announced that over the next 3 years, Ontario will spend in excess of $19 million to help facilitate faster decisions at the Ontario Land Tribunal and the Landlord and Tenant Board.
Thiele’s perspective is, “More money to make things faster does not mean that things will be fair or reasonable. Fast decisions are worth nothing if they are not fair decisions. Without fair hearings, no decision can be perceived as fair even if the correct decision happens to be made.”
A partner at a leading personal injury law firm, QTMG, Thiele, along with other Ottawa lawyers, is concerned that the province is likely to move hearings online permanently, and this digital process has already proven to be confusing and stressful for all parties.
In many cases, neither the landlords nor their tenants have the required technology or adequate skills to work through cases in a digital environment, he said. When it comes to residential landlord and tenant law, in-person meetings in a pre-pandemic world are the best way to clear backlogs, and this must continue now that the economy has opened up again.
While the province is confident that the infusion of funds will help create more affordable housing by reducing delays at the Landlord and Tenant Board, Thiele’s opinion is that “People are fighting before the board to keep rental housing because they have no place else to go. They are motivated to slow down the process.”

'People are being shown no mercy': Online evictions raise alarm in Ontario
It's 'absurd' to evict people during a health crisis that has left many unable to pay rent, advocate says
A Toronto mother said she struggled to keep up with bills after losing work in the restaurant industry. A Hamilton man behind on rent payments said he was staying in touch with his landlord about his financial situation after being laid off.
"It's COVID, people struggle," he appealed to Landlord and Tenant Board member John Mazzilli during the Dec. 18 block of hearings — all of which involved non-payment of rent.
Similar scenes playing out over the last several weeks have raised concern among Ontario advocates, who say the resumption of evictions in the pandemic's second wave coincides with a shift to online-only hearings that stack the deck against tenants.
"These people are being shown no mercy," Kenn Hale with the Advocacy Centre for Tenants Ontario (ACTO) said in a recent interview. "They're expected to pay and pay now or get out."
Hale, director of advocacy and legal services for ACTO, said it's "absurd" to evict people during a health crisis that has left many unable to pay rent due to lost income.
"It's bad enough in normal times for people to lose their homes and to be treated unfairly in an administrative proceeding. But it can be life or death in the kind of situation we're in now," he said in a recent interview.
A group of Ontario legal clinics wrote to Tribunals Ontario in October with proposed guidelines for adjudicators considering evictions cases during the pandemic — including the public health risk and pressures on people's finances. The group said they had not received a response as of mid-December. (Cole Burston/The Canadian Press)
Evictions were suspended until late summer, and the Landlord and Tenant Board is now working through a backlog of cases that observers say predated the pandemic and has grown this year as more people lose income.
Tribunals Ontario doesn't keep track of evictions, but according to ACTO, the board heard more than 7,000 cases in November. Ninety-six per cent of those were filed by a landlord against a tenant, the centre said. As of Dec. 14, a total of 4,597 hearings were scheduled for the month.
Hale said the shift to an online-only hearing model has made it harder for tenants to present their circumstances or access legal advice, including through ACTO's duty counsel program.
Lawyers must now introduce themselves to tenants in the virtual session, in front of all other participants, and both need to exit the meeting to speak privately.
Hale said such introductions don't always run smoothly, with lawyers entering "chaotic" hearing situations where they struggle to make themselves heard.
Bill 184 concerns
There's also concern about changes under Bill 184, which became law in the summer. It allows landlords to offer repayment agreements without appearing before the Landlord and Tenant Board, so some tenants are signing on to potentially unreasonable repayment terms without fully understanding their rights, Hale said.
A group of Ontario legal clinics, including ACTO, wrote to Tribunals Ontario in October with proposed guidelines for adjudicators considering evictions cases during the pandemic — including the public health risk and pressures on people's finances.
Hale said the group had not received a response as of mid-December.
The Progressive Conservative government has not yet acted on an Opposition motion supporting a freeze on evictions that passed unanimously this month, days before the legislative assembly adjourned until February.
NDP MPP Suze Morrison, who introduced the motion, said the online hearing format isn't accessible for people with visual impairments or those who don't have stable internet access, among other challenges.
"I'm deeply concerned that there are human rights violations happening here," Morrison said by phone.
A statement from Premier Doug Ford's office this month said the government "is continuing to explore ways to further support Ontarians during this difficult time."
'Digital-first strategy' from Tribunals Ontario
Tribunals Ontario, meanwhile, said it's pursuing "a digital-first strategy to meet the diverse needs of Ontarians and enhance the quality of our dispute resolution services."
It said requests for in-person hearings would be considered on a case-by-case basis to ensure people are accommodated under the Human Rights Code. As of mid-December, Tribunals Ontario had not confirmed if any in-person hearings had been approved.
Sam Nithiananthan, an organizer with People's Defence Toronto, said the online hearings have been a "double-edged sword" in the evictions process, as allies can now tune in and support their neighbours.
Nithiananthan said the crisis has exposed long-standing issues faced by renters in the city, and it's motivated tenants to organize in larger numbers than he'd seen before.
"What has been shifting is tenants are now standing up," he said.
Tenant organizer Bryan Doherty with Keep Your Rent Toronto said his group and others have called for rent relief that goes beyond a moratorium on evictions, arguing that simply pausing evictions would leave cases to pile up.
"We knew that a moratorium at the beginning of the COVID crisis would actually just produce an eviction blitz midway through the crisis, which is what we're seeing now," he said by phone in a mid-December interview.
Rents have long been unaffordable in Ontario's largest city, and Doherty said "COVID kind of threw gasoline on that fire."
He said pressure needs to be applied to landlords and governments to address the housing crisis affecting working-class tenants during the pandemic and beyond.
"I don't think it's going to be the same. The question is whether or not it will be worse or slightly better," he said.
Evictions during pandemic could increase spread of COVID-19: Waterloo region lawyer
196 households faced eviction in Waterloo region between Nov. 24 and Dec. 18
There were 196 households facing eviction hearings in Waterloo region between Nov. 24 and Dec. 18, according to Kristen Thompson, staff lawyer at Waterloo Region Community Legal Services, which provides services for low income community members.
Thompson said the Landlord Tenant Board (LTB) and Court Enforcement Office usually shutter operations over the holidays, but that wasn't the case this year. It has been working through a backlog resulting from the eviction moratorium at the start of the pandemic. That means evictions were enforced over the holidays and during the current lockdown.
"My concern is, as we enter a lockdown, without ensuring that our neighbours have a place to call home, we will see an increase spread of COVID-19. For example, tenants evicted might have to rely on the shelter system or go to crowded homes of friends and family, which would decrease the individuals ability to comply with social distancing directives," said Thompson, noting this could also overburden the shelter system.
Ontario's temporary moratorium on eviction orders was lifted in August.
Reinstate ban
Thompson, along with other advocacy groups and legal clinics in Ontario, is urging the province to reinstate a moratorium on evictions.
"Essentially what I think we need to do is impose another eviction moratorium, so not allow evictions at this point in time and again look to what support government has given to make sure rent is paid," she said.
She said the government must consider increasing funding to local rent banks, providing rent subsidies to market units and increase investment into affordable housing.
Thompson said many people can't afford rent right now, especially during a pandemic that has left many either without work or struggling financially. She said those who continue to receive Canada Recovery Benefit (CRB) or provincial social assistance either cannot afford rent or to enter a repayment plan.
On top of that, Thompson said, some tenants aren't attending their online eviction hearings because they can't access legal assistance or don't have access to technology.
NDP motion passed
Advocates and residents, including those in Toronto, have protested for the ban. The Ontario NDP party has also been outspoken on the issue.
Earlier this month, the legislature unanimously passed a motion put forward by Suze Morrison, NDP tenants rights critic, to ban residential evictions, but a law has not been imposed.
"So many families have lost their job or income through no fault of their own during this horrific pandemic. Yet Doug Ford is showing them no mercy. He refuses to sign an eviction ban into law," said Morrison in an emailed statement to CBC News.
"In communities all over the province, many of these evicted people have no good options. Shelters are full, and it's a dangerous time to apartment hunt, or to crash with friends or family from another household. These evictions are putting people at risk of catching and spreading COVID-19," Morrison added.
When asked by CBC News to respond to calls for another moratorium, the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing highlighted in an emailed statement new measures that were introduced to protect tenants such as the Canada-Ontario Housing benefit, which provides rent assistance.
"We have also invested $510 million through the Social Services Relief Fund into our communities, which is being used toward rent banks and utility banks, and provides emergency loans for those most in need. We encourage those who are struggling to pay their rent to contact their local service manager to see what supports are available to them," the statement read.
Ontario temporarily pauses residential evictions for length of emergency declaration
The move marks the 2nd time the province has paused evictions during COVID-19 pandemic
The province's municipal affairs minister says the pause will ensure people can stay safely in their residences while a stay-at-home order remains in place.
The order, which came into effect today, requires all Ontario residents to stay home as much as possible, only leaving for essential trips.
This is the second time the province has paused residential evictions during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Landlord and Tenant Board will continue to hear eviction applications and issue orders, but the enforcement of eviction orders will be postponed, except in urgent situations — such as for illegal activity.
The government says if tenants can pay their rent, they should continue to do so, or pay as much as possible.
The province declared the state of emergency on Tuesday and said it will stay in place for at least 28 days.

Suze Morrison, the provincial NDP tenant rights critic, criticized Thursday's order saying it still leaves people vulnerable to evictions during the pandemic.
Morrison said the Ford government needs to institute a moratorium on all eviction notices, hearings and orders, as well as the suspension of eviction enforcement by the sheriff for the entire duration of the pandemic.
"Thousands of people in Ontario are at risk of being thrown out of their homes, through no fault of their own, after losing income this year because of COVID-19," said Morrison.
"Calling off the sheriffs at the eleventh hour from enforcing evictions that have already been ordered will not keep folks housed and safe."
The order also has "overly broad exceptions that will still allow eviction enforcement to continue under the new directive," Morrison said, and people have complained that virtual eviction hearings have been rife with procedural unfairness.
"Doug Ford has baked in loopholes you could drive a truck through, allowing any evictions to continue at the discretion of the Landlord and Tenant Board," she said.

Service Standards
Important Notice
July 25, 2022: Over the past two years the Landlord and Tenant Board has experienced significant challenges that have caused us to fall short of meeting our service standards. We are working to catch up but it is taking us longer than usual to process applications, schedule hearings, and issue orders. We are actively working to improve our service timelines and we thank you for your continued patience.
- On average, new and adjourned matters are currently being scheduled within seven to eight months from when they were received or adjourned. A Notice of Hearing will be sent to the parties before the scheduled hearing date.
- On average, orders are being sent approximately 30 days after a hearing related to an L1 or L9 application and approximately 60 days after a hearing for all other application types.
- You can check if a hearing has been scheduled or an order has been issued for your file by visiting the Check File Status page. If your file number begins with “LTB” (e.g. LTB-L-000420-21), you can check your file status by logging into the Tribunals Ontario Portal.
To avoid mailing delays, email the LTB office which is handling your file, and ask that your Notice of Hearing and order be sent by email.
Service Standards
Service excellence is a priority for the LTB. Our service standards keep us focused on providing our clients with fair, effective, and timely dispute resolution.
Applications to evict a tenant for non-payment of rent and for applications to collect rent the tenant owes:
- Applications will be scheduled for a hearing within 25 business days
- Decisions will be issued within 4 business days of the conclusion of the final hearing
All other applications (excluding L5 - Application for an Above Guideline Increase and A4s - Application to Vary the Amount of a Rent Reduction):
- Applications will be scheduled for a hearing within 30 business days
- Decisions will be issued within 10 business days of the conclusion of the final hearing
While the LTB is committed to these service standards, we recognize that every case is different and some decisions take longer to issue than others.
Small Ownership Landlords of Ontario started in the early spring of 2020 as a result of the numerous issues small Ontario Landlords were facing with the Landlord Tenant Board of Ontario. There are many landlord groups on Facebook but the majority are focused on the rental industry. A small group of individual mom and pop landlords began noticing the difficulties landlords were facing with an inefficient and backlogged LTB and decided to start a group on Facebook to offer suggestions, ideas and support.
Unlike big corporate landlords, small landlords often get into the housing rental market to supplement their income by renting out space in their own home, or through the purchase of a first home they plan to live in. Once COVID hit and the provincial government placed a moratorium on evictions, small landlords faced extreme financial hardship as tenants stopped paying rent. Even prior to the moratorium on evictions, the Residential Tenancy Act is complicated, hard to understand and follow and the LTB was already being investigated by the Ombudsmen of Ontario due to the increasingly lengthy delays in obtaining a hearing for anything from damages to property, non rent payments, illegal activities in the rental property etc.
Thus SOLO was born. Our presence has grown to over 2000 members on Facebook and Twitter. We are in the process of being registered as a not for profit organization. We meet monthly by video conferencing and have been working on the following activities:
Meeting with the Landlord Tenant Board Executives
We are planning to meet the LTB’s executives on Thursday October 29th, 2020. We are intending to present evidence that 1) the hearing schedule is still slow and not following first in first out 2) we have extreme cases that need attention 3) educate the LTB on the impact the delays are having on landlords well being 4) any general question you – SOLO members want – us to ask by sending it to solo@soloontario.ca .
Note that we are very fortunate to have this “high level access” so we will try to keep the communication frank and respectful. We will not push an individual agenda, but we will come with suggestions to speed up the process and bring fairness which I am sure the LTB itself will be interested to hear. We will not be going there only to complain but we will offer practical solutions.
Meeting the MP Housing Minister
A letter was sent to the PM for a virtual meeting to discuss our issues namely asking for financial relief due to the eviction ban and LTB closure. We have been directed to the minister of housing as this is under his jurisdiction for our demands.
SOLO member Ruby is also pursuing to reschedule a meeting with the Housing Minister’s Parliamentary Assistant, MPP Gill after the last minute cancellation earlier this month We will continue to pursue until we get a proper hearing with the political branch to ask for compensation.
Outreach with Law Enforcement
We are in the process of approaching the Law Enforcement across the province to try to get some understanding on the apparent lack of consistency when police are intervening with landlords / tenants issues that fall outside the RTA. A draft letter has been prepared and we will keep you updated.
If anyone has any suggestion or contact within the Law Enforcement outreach we will be more than glad to talk to them. Just send an email to solo@soloontario.ca .
Writing to local MPP’s and the Ombudsmen of Ontario
We encourage our members to write and call their local MPP and the Ombudsmen to advocate for change. The length of time for a hearing is closing in on 9 months and many of the small landlords will experience bankruptcy if evictions are not sped up considerably.
