The Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms (JCCF.ca) has filed a
court application against the Nova Scotia Registrar of Motor Vehicles
(the “Registrar”) after it refused to reinstate the personalized
licence plate of Dartmouth, NS pensioner Lorne Grabher, whose surname
was deemed too “socially unacceptable” for the road.

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

RE CBC censorship and My last call to David Fraser of McInnes & Cooper
about such things he yaps about constanty within CBC
Well the comment section started out pretty could with CBC acting in
an ethical fashion and not blocking any comments of mine until a
couple of their favourite Trolls pounced on me. As soon as I responded
the blocking began almost instantly. I registered my indignation and
those comments were blocked as well so I quit for the day.
I had had enough of David Fraser and his bullshit today. Trust that I
will try to call the other two lawyers mentioned within this article
tomorrow.
http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/nova-scotia/canadian-transportation-agency-facebook-post-gabor-lukacs-1.4235123
"The Canadian Transportation Agency and an air passenger rights
activist are engaged in an online battle that pits freedom of
expression against a government agency's right to delete negative
comments from its social media accounts.
Gabor Lukacs has won 24 of 27 court cases against airlines, which were
taken to the agency. Recently, he posted "5 Reasons not to Trust the
Canadian Transportation Agency" on the agency's Facebook page.
The post compares the number of air passenger complaints in recent
years to the dwindling number of enforcement actions against airlines.
It also names some agency employees, including Doug Smith, its chief
dispute officer.
The post includes a discipline history of Smith from the Law Society
of Upper Canada in 2004, when he was suspended from practising law."

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

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

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

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

>>>>
>>>> The 1979 Trooper song Raise a Little Hell blared on the speakers at
>>>> the 8th Hussars Sports Center Friday evening as people filed in to
>>>> watch the Fundy candidates debate the issues. It was an accurate, if
>>>> unofficial, theme song for the debate.
>>>>
>>>> The crowd of over 200 spectators was dwarfed by the huge arena, but as
>>>> they chose their seats, it was clear the battle lines were drawn.
>>>> Supporters of Conservative candidate Rob Moore naturally took the blue
>>>> chairs on the right of the rink floor while John Herron's Liberalswent
>>>> left. There were splashes of orange, supporters of NDP Pat Hanratty,
>>>> mixed throughout. Perhaps the loudest applause came from a row towards
>>>> the back, where supporters of independent candidate David Amos sat.
>>>>
>>>> The debate was moderated by Leo Melanson of CJCW Radio and was
>>>> organized by the Sussex Valley Jaycees. Candidates wereasked a barrage
>>>> of questions bypanelists Gisele McKnight of the Kings County Record
>>>> and Lisa Spencer of CJCW.
>>>>
>>>> Staying true to party platforms for the most part, candidates
>>>> responded to questions about the gun registry, same sex marriage, the
>>>> exodus of young people from the Maritimes and regulated gas prices.
>>>> Herron and Moore were clear competitors,constantly challenging each
>>>> other on their answers and criticizing eachothers' party leaders.
>>>> Hanratty flew under the radar, giving short, concise responses to the
>>>> questions while Amos provided some food for thought and a bit of comic
>>>> relief with quirky answers. "I was raised with a gun," Amos said in
>>>> response to the question of thenational gun registry. "Nobody's
>>>> getting mine and I'm not paying 10 cents for it."
>>>>
>>>> Herron, a Progressive Conservative MP turned Liberal, veered from his
>>>> party'splatform with regard to gun control. "It was ill advised but
>>>> well intentioned," Herron said. "No matter what side of the house I am
>>>> on, I'm voting against it." Pat Hanratty agreed there were better
>>>> places for the gun registry dollars to be spent.Recreational hunters
>>>> shouldn't have been penalized by this gun registry," he said.
>>>>
>>>> The gun registry issues provoked the tempers of Herron and Moore. At
>>>> one point Herron got out of his seat and threw a piece of paper in
>>>> front of Moore. "Read that," Herron said to Moore, referring to the
>>>> voting record of Conservative Party leader Steven Harper. According to
>>>> Herron, Harper voted in favour of the registry on the first and second
>>>> readings of the bill in 1995. "He voted against it when it counted, at
>>>> final count," Moore said. "We needa government with courage to
>>>> register sex offenders rather than register the property of law
>>>> abiding citizens."
>>>>
>>>> The crowd was vocal throughout the evening, with white haired men and
>>>> women heckling from the Conservative side. "Shut up John," one woman
>>>> yelled. "How can you talk about selling out?" a man yelled whenHerron
>>>> spoke about his fear that the Conservatives are selling farmers out.
>>>>
>>>> Although the Liberal side was less vocal, Kings East MLA Leroy

>>>> yelled to Moore from the crowd when the debate turned to the cost of

>>>> Armstrong to a public debate of their own. "Talk is cheap. Any time,

>>>>
>>>> As the crowd made its way out of the building following the debate,

>>>>
>>>> "But I have no right to criticize unless I offer my name," he said.

So the guy posted 250 times in one day on their page.? That is spam. He named employees . That is giving out personal info... and he used his own document to put a spin on his accusations Unproven allegations. What does government have to do? remove all its social media... so that nobody can contact them.. because crybabies like this get in a huff over a deleted post? He could have posted it on his own page if it was really that important. He could have even linked his post to their page and given people the choice if they wanted his spin of information. But no.. this jerk has to ruin it for everyone else who has reasonable requests. Government bodies are not obligated to have social media accounts... and this guy just makes it harder for the average person with a legitimate issue to contact them.

Well the comment section started out pretty good with CBC acting in an ethical fashion and not blocking any comments of mine until a couple of their favourite Trolls pounced on me. As soon as I responded the blocking began almost instantly. I registered my indignation and those comments were blocked as well so I quit for the day.
I had had enough of David Fraser and his bullshit today. Trust that I will try to call the other two lawyers mentioned within this article tomorrow.

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

RE CBC censorship and My last call to David Fraser of McInnes & Cooper
about such things he yaps about constanty within CBC
Well the comment section started out pretty could with CBC acting in
an ethical fashion and not blocking any comments of mine until a
couple of their favourite Trolls pounced on me. As soon as I responded
the blocking began almost instantly. I registered my indignation and
those comments were blocked as well so I quit for the day.
I had had enough of David Fraser and his bullshit today. Trust that I
will try to call the other two lawyers mentioned within this article
tomorrow.

"The Canadian Transportation Agency and an air passenger rights
activist are engaged in an online battle that pits freedom of
expression against a government agency's right to delete negative
comments from its social media accounts.
Gabor Lukacs has won 24 of 27 court cases against airlines, which were
taken to the agency. Recently, he posted "5 Reasons not to Trust the
Canadian Transportation Agency" on the agency's Facebook page.
The post compares the number of air passenger complaints in recent
years to the dwindling number of enforcement actions against airlines.
It also names some agency employees, including Doug Smith, its chief
dispute officer.
The post includes a discipline history of Smith from the Law Society
of Upper Canada in 2004, when he was suspended from practising law."

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

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

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

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

Personally, I find it ironic that the CBC is running a story on censored comments, when they censor comments all the time. They decide which articles to allow comments, and they censor many comments that don't fall into their mandate.

CBC News is not a government department and is certainly not a conduit for consumers to lobby the government of the day. It wasn't under Harper and it isn't now.
BIG difference between the CBC and the CTA.

@Tony MacLellan I second your observation wholeheartedly and the lawyers Hubby Lacroix and Minister Joly know it
David Raymond Amos
@Gigi De Paoli A few questions for you to ponder if CBC allows you to read this
Who does CBC work for if not you and I?
Furthermore who are their moderators to censor anyone without a valid reason?
Are we not entitled to read an open a honest debate in a purportedly just democracy within a website financed by its citizens and overseen by a Canadian Cabinet Minister?

I assume you mean the CBC in the context of their news division and not the rest of everything else they do.

The reason that it doesn't not add to the normal flow of discussion. By law in Canada you cannot be convicted for something on the basis of prior bad acts. So, even if the current dispute officer once had issues with the Law Society, that is not relevant to his current performance on the job.

You appear to confuse criminal law with what is appropriate.
For example, someone who was convicted of fraud or embezzlement should not be a treasurer or financial officer.

Who makes the decision to deem a quote negative? An opinion is the most basic form of freedom of expression. When an individuals political law abiding beliefs are censored or disabled on these Canadian forums we are that much closer to a full blown dictatorship.

While I support Mr. Lukacs right to complain in general, I can't say that I support his right to do so on the agency Facebook page, as that page, in my opinion, belongs to them and they can administer it as they want. I believe that what will end up if he wins is that they will simply take down the whole page, thereby solving their problem. I don't believe anybody can force me to accept postings I disagree with on my Facebook page. I believe an MP inquiry would be more productive.

What does government have to do? remove all its social media... so that nobody can contact them.. because crybabies like this get in a huff over a deleted post? He could have posted it on his own page if it was really that important. He could have even linked his post to their page and given people the choice if they wanted his spin of information. But no.. this jerk has to ruin it for everyone else who has reasonable requests.

Transportation agency accused of censorship after deleting online criticism
'This is a form of censorship ... and this is a violation of freedom of speech,' says air passenger advocate
By Yvonne Colbert, CBC NewsPosted: Aug 08, 2017 6:00 AM ATThe Canadian Transportation Agency and an air passenger rights activist are engaged in an online battle that pits freedom of expression against a government agency's right to delete negative comments from its social media accounts.
Gabor Lukacs has won 24 of 27 court cases against airlines, which were taken to the agency. Recently, he posted "5 Reasons not to Trust the Canadian Transportation Agency" on the agency's Facebook page.
The post compares the number of air passenger complaints in recent years to the dwindling number of enforcement actions against airlines.
It also names some agency employees, including Doug Smith, its chief dispute officer.
The post includes a discipline history of Smith from the Law Society of Upper Canada in 2004, when he was suspended from practising law.
Smith told CBC News that Lukacs is entitled to put whatever he wants on his own page. He doesn't dispute the information, but said he's unsure how that action years ago is relevant to his current job or a reason not to trust the agency.
Lukacs subsequently received messages that were purportedly from the agency's social media co-ordinator — though no name was given. They said, in part, that: "The agency is committed to an open and transparent dialogue with Canadians and welcomes a variety of perspectives and opinions."
However, it also said its social media guidelines specify that it may remove comments that contain personal information or put forward serious, unproven or inaccurate accusations against individuals or organizations.
The agency accused the Halifax man of directly targeting a number of employees with statements that bring their integrity into question. It told him if the posts continued, the agency would block his ability to comment on both its Facebook and Twitter accounts.
Lukacs wrote back and asked what specifically was unproven or inaccurate, but did not receive a response. CBC News asked the same question, but the agency did not provide details.
Every time Lukacs tried to repost the document, it was removed.
"This is a form of censorship, of government censorship, and this is a violation of freedom of speech," Lukacs told CBC in an interview from Hungary, where he is vacationing. He added that a government body cannot tell Canadians what to think and cannot simply censor comments.
He said all the information in the post comes from public documents and is true, honest and fair opinion based on facts.
Lukacs said the response to his post is an attempt to censor views that are not favourable to the agency.
"This a variant of an Orwellian world where a government body is attempting to decide what citizens should think, what citizens should read, what they should say and what opinions are valid or not," he said.
Part of the agency's mandate is to provide consumer protection for air passengers. On its Facebook page, the agency gives these four reasons for deleting Lukacs's post:
In response to an inquiry from CBC, the agency cited its social media guidelines and the same reasons for deleting the post. It did not respond to a second request for specific inaccurate accusations in the post.
A spokesperson for the agency said the item was posted "more than 250 times in the last three days."
Lukacs said he developed a program that reposted his remarks as soon as the agency deleted them.
A Halifax-based privacy lawyer said the government needs to think about the type of precedent this is setting and whether it is violating the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
David Fraser reviewed both the post from Lukacs and the agency's response. Fraser said he found the post relevant and a matter of public interest.
"[Lukacs] has an informed point of view and the fact the government has banned him from an important means of public communication has a significant impact on his freedom of expression and I'm not sure it's necessarily justifiable in the circumstances."
He also did not agree with the justification for removing the post, since the charter says everyone has a right to freedom of expression and censoring someone because their views are politically unpopular isn't justified.
"It really has the appearance of government censoring speech they don't agree with," he said.
Fraser said he doesn't consider the reposting to be spam, calling it someone being persistent in trying to get their message out and taking measures to counteract the deletion.
Toby Mendel, executive director of the Centre for Law and Democracy in Halifax, told CBC News that Lukacs's post is "a perfectly legitimate exercise of freedom of expression."
He called the removal of the post "very, very troubling," and said it's concerning that a public body would try to suppress legitimate criticism.
"One of the reasons our democracy works is because we do have people that engage in robust criticism and that hold public bodies to account," said Mendel, whose organization is dedicated to fostering democracy and human rights, including freedom of speech.
Fraser said the continued use of social media by governments in the future means "they really need to stop and think about what sort of precedent this sets within government for blocking citizens and other stakeholders from communicating with government, about government and with other individuals."
He said as a private citizen, he can delete whatever he wants from his Facebook page, but "the government is constrained by the charter."
Fraser also said the government may be "overreaching" by placing conditions and terms of use on its social media accounts.
"Government can't, unless authorized by law, contractually bind you to a particular kind of code of conduct for things like that."
Gabor Lukacs has won 24 of 27 court cases against airlines, which were taken to the agency. Recently, he posted "5 Reasons not to Trust the Canadian Transportation Agency" on the agency's Facebook page.
The post compares the number of air passenger complaints in recent years to the dwindling number of enforcement actions against airlines.
It also names some agency employees, including Doug Smith, its chief dispute officer.
The post includes a discipline history of Smith from the Law Society of Upper Canada in 2004, when he was suspended from practising law.

Lukacs subsequently received messages that were purportedly from the agency's social media co-ordinator — though no name was given. They said, in part, that: "The agency is committed to an open and transparent dialogue with Canadians and welcomes a variety of perspectives and opinions."
However, it also said its social media guidelines specify that it may remove comments that contain personal information or put forward serious, unproven or inaccurate accusations against individuals or organizations.

Every time Lukacs tried to repost the document, it was removed.

Post repeatedly deleted
Part of the agency's mandate is to provide consumer protection for air passengers. On its Facebook page, the agency gives these four reasons for deleting Lukacs's post:
- "It is repetitive or spam."
- It contains personal information.
- It "puts forward serious, unproven or inaccurate accusations against individuals or organizations."
- It does not "add to the normal flow of the discussion."
In response to an inquiry from CBC, the agency cited its social media guidelines and the same reasons for deleting the post. It did not respond to a second request for specific inaccurate accusations in the post.
A spokesperson for the agency said the item was posted "more than 250 times in the last three days."
Lukacs said he developed a program that reposted his remarks as soon as the agency deleted them.
Justifiable response?
A Halifax-based privacy lawyer said the government needs to think about the type of precedent this is setting and whether it is violating the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
David Fraser reviewed both the post from Lukacs and the agency's response. Fraser said he found the post relevant and a matter of public interest.
"[Lukacs] has an informed point of view and the fact the government has banned him from an important means of public communication has a significant impact on his freedom of expression and I'm not sure it's necessarily justifiable in the circumstances."
He also did not agree with the justification for removing the post, since the charter says everyone has a right to freedom of expression and censoring someone because their views are politically unpopular isn't justified.
"It really has the appearance of government censoring speech they don't agree with," he said.
'Very, very troubling'
Fraser said he doesn't consider the reposting to be spam, calling it someone being persistent in trying to get their message out and taking measures to counteract the deletion.
Toby Mendel, executive director of the Centre for Law and Democracy in Halifax, told CBC News that Lukacs's post is "a perfectly legitimate exercise of freedom of expression."
He called the removal of the post "very, very troubling," and said it's concerning that a public body would try to suppress legitimate criticism.
"One of the reasons our democracy works is because we do have people that engage in robust criticism and that hold public bodies to account," said Mendel, whose organization is dedicated to fostering democracy and human rights, including freedom of speech.
Charter constraints
Fraser said the continued use of social media by governments in the future means "they really need to stop and think about what sort of precedent this sets within government for blocking citizens and other stakeholders from communicating with government, about government and with other individuals."
He said as a private citizen, he can delete whatever he wants from his Facebook page, but "the government is constrained by the charter."
Fraser also said the government may be "overreaching" by placing conditions and terms of use on its social media accounts.
"Government can't, unless authorized by law, contractually bind you to a particular kind of code of conduct for things like that."
