Before Trudeau, Gerald Butts Abandoned Tar Sands Action As Head Of WWF
The episode was an uncanny harbinger of how the Liberals would act in power
September 5, 2019
Article By Martin Lukacs

When veteran climate analyst Keith Stewart arrived at his office at
the Toronto headquarters of the World Wildlife Fund Canada in the
spring of 2010, he was in for a shock. Turning on his computer, he
realized that the campaign he had been directing and working on for
years — raising the alarm about the unsustainable exploitation of
Alberta’s tar sands — had disappeared from the organization’s website.

Stewart hadn’t received any warning, and would not be offered an
explanation. Later, he would learn that a decision to shut down the
campaign and wipe the website had come from the top of WWF-Canada. The
organization’s leadership was abandoning its advocacy on an issue
that, thanks in part to their efforts, was finally capturing global
attention. When the decision was made, the organization’s president
was none other than Gerald Butts, Justin Trudeau’s close friend and
primary advisor, who a few years later would become one of the most
powerful officials in Canada’s Liberal government.

In his role at WWF-Canada, Butts initially embraced bold climate
policies. But before long, he would appear to succumb to limits on
action prescribed behind closed doors by corporate power-brokers. It
was a striking omen of how he and Trudeau would eventually run the
Liberal government — and an instructive parable for those seeking to
understand Trudeau’s shift from ostensible climate champion to
pipeline-nationalizing oil booster.

When Butts arrived at WWF-Canada in 2008 as its new president and CEO,
the first campaigns to slow down the breakneck expansion of the tar
sands had just been launched by nearby Indigenous communities, who
were suffering from downstream pollution. International media had
begun taking notice, publishing reports of hundreds of ducks mired in
a Suncor tailings pond.

WWF-Canada was ahead of the curve of most organizations. Stewart, who
holds a PhD in environmental policy and teaches at the University of
Toronto, oversaw their climate campaigning. They sponsored a tour by
journalist and fierce tar sands critic Andrew Nikiforuk. Their website
featured commentary from the world’s top climate scientist, James
Hansen, who has warned that fully exploiting the Alberta tar sands
would spell “game over” for a livable climate. Butts and Trudeau flew
to northern British Columbia with funders to visit the Great Bear
Rainforest, which would soon be threatened by Enbridge’s proposed
Northern Gateway pipeline. In an op-ed in the Toronto Star, Butts
didn’t mince words: “From hewers of wood and drawers of water to
makers of moonscapes and creators of toxic tailing ponds: what a face
for Canada to show the world.” And in 2009, he would sign a joint
public statement from several environmental groups calling for the
government to “declare a moratorium on expansion of tar sands
development and halt further approval of infrastructure that would
lock us into using dirty liquid fuels.”

Just before Butts joined the organization, WWF-Canada had also opened
an office just outside Edmonton and launched another campaign to try
to curb the staggering amount of water that tar sands companies were
drawing from the Athabasca River. That campaign was led by Rob Powell,
a mild-mannered scientist who had previously worked at an
industry-friendly regulatory agency of the Alberta government. “What
we were looking for from tar sands companies was mild steps toward
sustainability,” he told me over the phone in the spring of 2018. “We
wanted to ensure that the water outtakes would not drive the Athabasca
River below a level of flow that would be catastrophic. Below that,
everything falls apart, killing the fish, leaving enormous ecological
destruction.” Though Butts inherited this campaign, Powell says he was
enthusiastic about it and had a hunch that the issue would rise in
profile. Butts delegated several people to work on it.

While some companies resisted the campaign, others eventually agreed
to make changes. The province’s water management improved, and
WWF-Canada’s scientific modelling of water flows was heralded as an
example for elsewhere in the country. The Toronto head office was
delighted, Powell says. He began preparing another campaign, this time
to challenge an outlandish exercise in green-washing by tar sands
companies. To fulfill their obligation to remediate destroyed land,
the industry was proposing to pipe toxic sludge from tailings ponds
into giant mining craters, pour fresh water over them, and claim they
would become thriving “end-pit lakes.” “It might look like a lake, but
it wouldn’t act like one,” Powell says. “It was a horrendous excuse
for reclamation.”

But as the notoriety of Alberta’s tar sands grew thanks to public
education and campaigns, the mood shifted in some parts of the
WWF-Canada headquarters. “It seemed like powerful people were not
thrilled that we were working on this,” Powell says. Stewart remembers
that staff began hearing from the fundraising department that their
tar sands campaigns were hurting donations. “Corporate funders started
freaking out,” Stewart recalls. “They’d tell us, ‘I don’t understand
what you’re doing. Can we figure this out?’ Big donors weren’t saying
straight-out that they were opposed to our work. It was more like, ‘I
thought we had a partnership here.’” After all, WWF-Canada had a long
history of friendly collaborations with corporations. Those now
pushing more aggressive advocacy were beginning to jeopardize a safe
brand.

    “I felt at the time (and still do) that the campaign was divisive in Canada”

Stewart says he heard that some members of the board of directors grew
increasingly anxious. The board was populated by CEOs, corporate
lawyers, and bankers, as well as future Liberal cabinet minister
Seamus O’Regan. It also included Blake Goldring, a member of the
Business Council of Canada, who had previously donated $500,000 to
WWF-Canada. He was the CEO of investment firm AGF Management, which
advised an Oil Sands Sector Fund worth hundreds of millions of
dollars. He would not rejoin the board in 2010, for reasons unknown.
(He did not respond to questions about this.) All that remained was
for Gerald Butts to exercise his widely-praised skills in reading the
tea leaves.

Powell says support for his work from his direct superiors at
WWF-Canada suddenly vanished. Every new campaign idea was rejected.
“It was rather strange, when you have put a lot of effort in, and you
have something to show for it,” he says. “Wiping it from the map
seemed a very odd choice.” At the same time, in the spring of 2010,
Stewart came into the office to discover that all signs of the tar
sands campaign had vanished from the WWF-Canada website. Some staff
demanded answers. One never came from Butts, Stewart says, but a
director quietly told him: “We’re not doing that anymore. Priorities
have shifted. The focus will now be on corporate engagement.”

I am not responding to Dave Amos' emails, but I believe I have heard
he has some "issues". I have no sense of what his involvement is with
the organization or why he is threatening law suits (my receptionist
just intercepted a call and he told her he didn't want to leave a
message and to just tell her that he would "see me in court").

Does anyone have any idea what to do about this guy? Should we just
ignore him?

COALITION CALLS ON LEADERS TO ACT IMMEDIATELY TO STOP OIL AND GAS
EXPLORATION IN GULF OF ST. LAWRENCE
For Immediate Release - October 4, 2010
PICTOU, NS – Today's decision by the Canada Newfoundland and Labrador
Offshore Petroleum Board (CNLOPB) to allow seismic blasting in the
Gulf of St. Lawrence was met with shock and concern by a coalition
calling for a moratorium on oil and gas development in the Gulf of St.
Lawrence. The coalition - made of aboriginal, fishing, and
environmental organizations - is calling on municipal, provincial,
federal, and aboriginal leaders to act swiftly to halt the testing.

"With this decision, the CNLOPB has approved an activity that could
damage this entire precious ecosystem," according to Mary Gorman of
the Save Our Seas and Shores, "We want this decision reversed
immediately, and action taken to allow jurisdictions bordering on the
Gulf to have a say in its future."

"Seismic testing could start in the next 48 hours, potentially
damaging marine mammals like blue whales, and disrupting fish and
fisheries. This approval has given oil and gas as a toehold in the
Gulf that could lead to full scale drilling," according to Danielle
Giroux of the. "Fishermen I work for need more say over protecting the
Gulf. We want the CNLOPB's decision reversed immediately."

"An oil spill in the Gulf of St. Lawrence would impact fish stocks and
coastal communities in Quebec, PEI, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and
Newfoundland. Moreover, the national importance of this ecosystem must
be upheld." says Gretchen Fitzgerald, of the Sierra Club Canada. "
Federal laws to protect endangered species and fish habitat recognize
the importance of protecting our shared biodiversity and resources.
This decision is not reflecting this shared responsibility or concerns
expressed by groups around the Gulf."

Senior Federal Court judge under fire for objections to Indigenous
principles and land acknowledgments

Robert Fife
Ottawa Bureau Chief
Published June 13, 2021

A senior judge of the Federal Court of Canada has strongly objected to
showing respect for Indigenous people by acknowledging their unceded
traditional lands in courtroom proceedings, a common practice at the
Supreme Court of Canada as well as government and corporate events.

Justice Richard Bell was also critical of the Mi’kmaq concept known as
“two-eyed seeing,” which encourages courts and other Canadian
institutions to examine environmental and social issues from both
Indigenous and Western perspectives.

Justice Bell made the remarks while hearing a judicial review case in
Halifax in late May, challenging the federal government for failing to
properly assess the risks of exploratory drilling for oil and gas off
the coast of Newfoundland and Labrador. Sierra Club Canada, World
Wildlife Fund and Ecology Action Centre were urging the court to quash
a ruling by Ottawa to exempt the drilling from an environmental
assessment.

“Aren’t we being a bit stereotypical toward the European version of
the world in this two-eyed vision?” Justice Bell asked when the
concept was raised in court. “Well, I don’t think my forebearers were
very short-sighted about anything ... I don’t buy into any of that.”

As the case got underway on May 25, Justice Bell addressed lawyer
James Gunvaldsen-Klaassen, who represents the three environmental
groups, after he said: “I want to gratefully acknowledge that I live
and work on the unceded territory of the Mi’kmaq, also known as
Halifax, Nova Scotia.”

Justice Bell stopped Mr. Gunvaldsen-Klaassen and criticized him for
making such an acknowledgement.

“This regard to the territory creates a problem for the court – any
court – because we are called upon to decide territorial issues on a
daily basis. So, what is the court supposed to respond when you do
that?” Justice Bell said. “Do you understand the dilemma that puts
judges in when they are faced with such an acknowledgement and we are
supposed to sit there and say ‘yes,’ ‘no,’ [or] nothing. What do
judges do, sir?”

It is standard practice before the Supreme Court of Canada and other
courts to acknowledge unceded traditional Native lands in opening
sessions or when governments or public institutions make
announcements.

Mr. Gunvaldsen-Klaassen responded that he was expressing his “own
personal conscience” and wasn’t seeking a finding from the court.

However, Justice Bell told Mr. Gunvaldsen-Klaassen that if he felt
strongly about acknowledging traditional Indigenous territory, he
should seek permission from First Nations leaders that he is coming on
to their lands.

“Write the chiefs of the appropriate First Nations and get their
permission, and then if you get their permission, then the Court will
hear you,” he said. “In the future, you ask the permission of the
First Nations you are concerned about.”

Canada’s first Indigenous justice minister, Jody Wilson-Raybould,
would not comment directly on the case, but said recognizing First
Nations territory at the outset of proceedings “in some ways
complements the symbolism of the court and the evolution of our legal
orders in Canada.”

The following day, Justice Bell took issue when Crown counsel lawyers
Sarah Drodge and Melissa Grant raised the concept of “two-eyed
seeing,” an idea first advocated by Mi’kmaq Elder Albert Marshal. He
argued that “beneficial outcomes are much more likely in any given
situation when we are willing to bring two or more perspectives into
play.”

The two federal justice lawyers argued that consideration of
Indigenous and Eurocentric views were a “great development,” adding
that the two-eyed principle is being increasingly incorporated into
government policy-making.

Justice Bell, who is also Chief Justice of the Court Martial Appeal
Court of Canada, said he interpreted two-eyed seeing as giving the
impression that “those of us of European descent are short-sighted and
basically visionless.

“If my interpretation is correct and European peoples are supposed to
be short-sighted, man, is that ever a misapplication ... of my
experience with respect to what some very brave people did in the
world in the past four or five or six hundred years,” he said. “Much
of it doesn’t show a short-sighted vision of the world to me.”

Later in the proceedings, Justice Bell said, “maybe I was being
over-sensitive” in raising objections to the concept of two-eyed
seeing.

In a statement to The Globe and Mail on Sunday, Mr.
Gunvaldsen-Klaassen said that the three environmental groups involved
in the case “strongly disagree with the negative comments from the
bench about the guiding principle” of two-eyed seeing.

“As predominantly settler organizations, it is incumbent on us to name
and address systemic inequities and biases that disproportionately
harm Indigenous peoples and communities,” he said. “It is essential to
dismantle the white colonial privilege that exists within the legal
profession and the administration of justice in Canada. This work is
critical to building a more accessible justice system – one that is
free of arbitrary barriers created by prejudice and white privilege,
and trusted by all people in Canada.”

Ms. Wilson-Raybould added the justice system has interacted with
Indigenous peoples differently, reflecting the legacy of deeply rooted
colonialism.

“It is time for greater leadership by the bench, the bar and
governments to move these changes forward in a systematic way,’ she
said.

This is not the first time Justice Bell has engendered controversy. In
2017, he wrote a character reference for former federal judge Robin
Camp after he stepped down following a Canadian Judicial Council
recommendation that he be removed from the bench.

While sitting as a judge in 2014, Mr. Camp had asked why a rape
complainant didn’t resist by keeping her knees together.

Justice Bell, a friend of Mr. Camp’s, wrote a letter of support to
allow him to rejoin the legal profession. “He’s just a very, very good
person,” he wrote.

Flawed environmental assessment of offshore drilling in NL to be
scrutinized in court
WWF

 August 5, 2021

Environmental groups disappointed exploratory drilling will proceed in
the interim

ST. JOHN’S, NL – Ecojustice and its clients welcome the Federal
Court’s decision to reject the federal government’s attempt to shut
down a judicial review application challenging a flawed Regional
Assessment (RA) on the impacts of exploratory drilling off the coast
of Newfoundland and Labrador.

However, they are disappointed that the Court has not granted an
interim injunction against a regulation that will “fast-track”
exploratory drilling approvals and vastly increase exploratory
drilling activity in the area. The government has stated it intends
the regulation to come into force on June 4th.

On behalf of Ecology Action Centre, Sierra Club Canada Foundation and
WWF-Canada, Ecojustice took legal action against the federal
government last month for failing to properly assess the risks of
exploratory drilling for oil and gas off the coast of Newfoundland and
Labrador.

The government filed a motion to dismiss the case, but the federal
court has found in favour of Ecojustice and its clients.

The RA in question is the first to be conducted under the new Impact
Assessment Act (IAA). The federal government stated that it intended
to use the flawed RA and a loophole in the IAA legislation to allow
for a broad exemption of all future offshore exploratory drilling in
the region. Regional Assessments have the potential to be a valuable
tool for assessing the cumulative effects of all projects in a region,
but this type of assessment was not conducted in this RA. Left
unchallenged, this would set a poor and dangerous precedent for
regional assessments, which could otherwise be a promising new
mechanism under the Impact Assessment Act.

An increase in exploratory activity in Newfoundland and Labrador’s
offshore waters threatens important marine ecosystems while also
damaging Canada’s ability to reach net-zero emissions by 2050.
Thorough impact assessments need to be conducted to understand and
mitigate possible negative impacts on important species, habitats and
climate change targets.

Additional information:

Due to the urgent need to prohibit the federal minister of Environment
and Climate Change Canada from using the flawed assessment to give
blanket exemption to potentially hazardous projects in Canadian and
international waters, Ecojustice, on behalf of its clients, requested
an expedited hearing. The Court accommodated this request by holding
the hearing via the video platform Zoom on May 29, 2020.

Sigrid Kuehnemund, Vice President, Ocean Conservation, WWF-Canada said:

“With this court challenge, it is our hope that the flawed regional
assessment will be strengthened to include a robust cumulative effects
assessment and set aside no-go zones to protect sensitive marine
habitats, such as deep-sea corals and sponges found within the
Northeast Newfoundland Slope Marine Refuge. It is essential that this
and all future regional assessments support Canada’s environmental
decision-making, to align with national climate and biodiversity
commitments and achieve the necessary safeguards for people and
nature.”

James Gunvaldsen-Klaassen, Ecojustice lawyer said:

“Canadians need to be assured that potentially hazardous projects are
fully assessed for environmental risk and for the cumulative effects
all activities in the offshore have on climate change and vulnerable
offshore species. Today’s decision from the Federal Court is important
as it allows the flawed regional assessment to be scrutinized in
court.

“It is extremely concerning, however, that harm could be inflicted now
that the Impact Assessment provisions of the Act will no longer apply
to the study area.

“The Impact Assessment Act was introduced to make government
decision-making more transparent and improve the assessment process.
Exempting exploratory drilling in the waters off Newfoundland and
Labrador using a flawed assessment is unlawful and would remove
decisions regarding offshore drilling from public and judicial
scrutiny.”

Jordy Thomson, Senior Marine Coordinator, Ecology Action Centre said:

“We’re disappointed that yesterday’s ruling did not close a loophole
that could allow exploratory drilling in Newfoundland’s rich and
productive offshore waters without a full impact assessment. At the
same time, we’re happy that the court will proceed with a review of
the deficient and damaging regional assessment. Because it is the
first of its kind and sets a national precedent, Canada must get this
one right. We now have an opportunity to make sure that our Impact
Assessment Act has teeth, that we protect sensitive marine life, and
that we take the necessary steps for a just transition to a low-carbon
future.”

Gretchen Fitzgerald, National Programs Director, Sierra Club Canada
Foundation said:

“We are pleased that the flawed regional assessment for drilling off
Eastern Newfoundland will get reviewed in court. However, we are
alarmed that, in the interim and under cover of the COVID crisis, the
regulation exempting exploratory drilling from further assessment will
stand, even as political pressure is mounting to accelerate drilling.
We are concerned that this loophole will subvert Canada’s climate
goals, result in even more spills, and that the seismic blasting that
will precede this drilling will harm whales that make the region their
home – some of which are endangered.

“In the days to come, we will be considering our options to ensure
greater protection of the environment and that projects that are
reviewed meet the climate test. We will continue to push back against
offshore drilling and subsidies to the offshore sector, and call for
improved laws and policies to reduce risk of spills, threats to ocean
life, and ensure a safe climate and just recovery.”

NDP

Friend,

Two years ago, Stephen Harper stripped protection from over 98% of
Canada’s lakes and rivers. And ever since, New Democrats have been
fighting back.

Canada has one of the largest supplies of fresh water – but it’s at
risk if we don’t take action now. I don’t see your name on our call to
protect lakes and rivers:

Your action record:

Protect lakes and rivers: Not signed

As a former provincial environment minister, Tom Mulcair has made
protecting Canada’s outdoors a top NDP priority – along with raising
the minimum wage, saving Canada Post and delivering affordable
childcare.

Add your name today and support all these ideas to build a better Canada:

Meet Megan Leslie, the new head of World Wildlife Fund Canada
WWF
December 1, 2017

Megan Leslie, President & CEO, WWF-Canada

Megan Leslie is the new president and CEO of World Wildlife Fund
Canada, taking over after David Miller announced his departure for a
different role in environmental advocacy. As she assumes the
leadership, Megan answered a few questions about herself and her aims.
You’ve been described as a life-long environmentalist. Can you recall
an early time you knew that the Earth was being damaged, and that
something needed to be done?
When I was 15 there was a proposal to store toxic waste in the
abandoned mines of Kirkland Lake, Ont., my hometown. And even though
we weren’t scientists or engineers, my girlfriends and I knew this was
not good for our community. We made signs that said “No, no! We won’t
glow!” and marched in front of the town hall as councillors decided
not to go ahead with the plan. I know it wasn’t just because some
girls with clever signs were outside, but for the first time I really
felt I could make change in my community. And that same feeling has
driven me as I went on to be a community legal worker, an elected
official, head of ocean conservation at WWF-Canada and now president
and CEO.
You are well known after two terms as Member of Parliament for Halifax
and deputy leader of the official Opposition. How did you take your
concern for the environment to Parliament Hill?
In addition to being an MP and deputy party leader, I was also the
environment critic and vice-chair of the committee on environment and
sustainable development, where I was part of government decisions. I’m
proud that I was a part of committee work that created Sable Island
National Park Reserve, and that I was able to use my position to speak
out against changes that weakened our environmental assessment
processes. One of my greatest accomplishments was working with
environmental organizations, engaged Canadians and across party lines
to ban the production of microbeads in Canada, a motion that passed in
the House of Commons unanimously.
What do you see as the top priority for WWF-Canada?
It has to be the shocking scale and scope of wildlife loss in Canada,
revealed in WWF’s new Living Planet Report Canada. This is a wake-up
call. And I want all Canadians to join me in answering it. I’m
counting on all of us — communities, Indigenous organizations,
governments, industry, scientists, cultural organizations and beyond —
to address the reasons that half of the wildlife species we studied
are in decline, with an average 83 per cent loss since 1970.

A F F I D A V I T

I, Stephen J. May, of the City of St. John's, in the Province of
Newfoundland and Labrador, Barrister and Solicitor, make oath and say
as follows:

THAT I am a Partner in the St. John's office of PATTERSON PALMER
solicitors for William Matthews, the Member of Parliament for
Random-Burin-St. George's in the Parliament of Canada.

THAT Mr. Matthews originally retained Mr. Edward Roberts, Q.C. on or
about 30 April 2002 after Mr. Byron Prior, the Defendant/Plaintiff by
Counterclaim, had made allegations against Mr. Matthews in a
publication called "My Inheritance - The truth - Not Fiction: A Town
with a Secret". In that publication, the allegation was made that Mr.
Matthews had had sex with a girl who had been prostituted by her
mother. That girl was alleged to have been Mr. Prior's sister.

THAT upon being retained, Mr. Edward Roberts wrote a letter to Mr.
Prior. That letter to Mr. Prior is attached as Exhibit "1" to my
Affidavit.

THAT subsequent to Mr. Roberts' letter to Mr. Prior, Mr. Roberts
received a 1 May 2002 e-mail from Mr. Prior. That e-mail is attached
as Exhibit "2".

THAT subsequent to Mr. Roberts receipt of the e-mail, Mr. Prior swore
an Affidavit acknowledging that what had been said in that publication
was false. That Affidavit is attached as Exhibit "3" to my Affidavit.
Following Mr. Roberts' receipt of that Affidavit, Mr. Matthews advised
that he was satisfied not to pursue the matter any further and our
firm closed our file.

THAT on or about 25 October 2004, I was retained by Mr. Matthews
following his gaining knowledge that a web site, made a series of
allegations against him relating to my having sex with a girl of
approximately 12 years old through to an approximate age of 15 years
old. It also accused him of being a father of one of her children and
accused him of having raped that girl. Upon checking the web site I
saw that Byron Prior, the Defendant, had been identified as the author
of the material on the site.

THAT Mr. Matthews instructed me to write Mr. Prior, to remind him of
the fact that the allegations had been admitted to being false through

commence legal proceedings if the comments were not removed from the
web site. A copy of my letter to Mr. Prior is attached as Exhibit "4"

e-mail. Including his 6 November 2004 e-mail, I have received a total
of 15 e-mails as of 23 January 2005. All do not address Mr. Matthews'
claim or my involvement as Mr. Matthews' solicitor. I attach as
Exhibit "7" a portion of a 12 January 2005 e-mail that Mr. Amos sent

Hello Lisa,

David Amos asked me to contact you. I met him last June after he became
an independent (not representing any political party) candidate in our federal
election that was held June 28. He was a candidate in our constituency of
Fundy (now called  Fundy-Royal).

I wrote a profile story about him, as I did all other candidates. That
story appeared in the Kings County Record June 22. A second story, written
by one of my reporters, appeared on the same date, which was a report on
the candidates' debate held June 18.

As I recall David Amos came last of four candidates in the election.
The winner got 14,997 votes, while Amos got 358.

I have attached the two stories that appeared, as well as a photo
taken by reporter Erin Hatfield during the debate. I couldn't find the photo
that ran, but this one is very similar.

Raising a Little Hell- Lively Debate Provokes Crowd

By Erin Hatfield

"If you don't like what you got, why don't you change it? If your
world is all screwed up, rearrange it."

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
Armstrong weighed in at one point. "You're out of touch," Armstrong
yelled to Moore from the crowd when the debate turned to the cost of
post-secondary education. Later in the evening Amos challenged
Armstrong to a public debate of their own. "Talk is cheap. Any time,
anyplace," Armstrong responded.

As the crowd made its way out of the building following the debate,
candidates worked the room. They shook hands with well-wishers and
fielded questions from spectators-all part of the decision-making
process for the June 28 vote.

favourite possessions—motorcycles.

The Unconventional Candidate

David Amos Isn't Campaigning For Your Vote, But….

By Gisele McKnight

FUNDY—He has a pack of cigarettes in his shirt pocket, a chain on his
wallet, a beard at least a foot long, 60 motorcycles and a cell phone
that rings to the tune of "Yankee Doodle."

Meet the latest addition to the Fundy ballot—David Amos.

The independent candidate lives in Milton, Massachusetts with his wife
and two children, but his place of residence does not stop him from
running for office in Canada.

One has only to be at least 18, a Canadian citizen and not be in jail
to meet Elections Canada requirements.

When it came time to launch his political crusade, Amos chose his
favourite place to do so—Fundy.

Amos, 52, is running for political office because of his
dissatisfaction with politicians.

"I've become aware of much corruption involving our two countries," he
said. "The only way to fix corruption is in the political forum."

The journey that eventually led Amos to politics began in Sussex in
1987. He woke up one morning disillusioned with life and decided he
needed to change his life.

"I lost my faith in mankind," he said. "People go through that
sometimes in midlife."

So Amos, who'd lived in Sussex since 1973, closed his Four Corners
motorcycle shop, paid his bills and hit the road with Annie, his 1952
Panhead motorcycle.

"Annie and I rode around for awhile (three years, to be exact)
experiencing the milk of human kindness," he said. "This is how you
renew your faith in mankind – you help anyone you can, you never ask
for anything, but you take what they offer."

For those three years, they offered food, a place to sleep, odd jobs
and conversation all over North America.

Since he and Annie stopped wandering, he has married, fathered a son
and a daughter and become a house-husband – Mr. Mom, as he calls
himself.

He also describes himself in far more colourful terms—a motorcyclist
rather than a biker, a "fun-loving, free-thinking, pig-headed
individual," a "pissed-off Maritimer" rather than an activist, a proud
Canadian and a "wild colonial boy."

Ironically, the man who is running for office has never voted in his life.

"But I have no right to criticize unless I offer my name," he said.
"It's alright to bitch in the kitchen, but can you walk the walk?"

Amos has no intention of actively campaigning.

"I didn't appreciate it when they (politicians) pounded on my door
interrupting my dinner," he said. "If people are interested, they can
call me. I'm not going to drive my opinions down their throats."

And he has no campaign budget, nor does he want one.

"I won't take any donations," he said. "Just try to give me some. It's
not about money. It goes against what I'm fighting about."

What he's fighting for is the discussion of issues – tainted blood,
the exploitation of the Maritimes' gas and oil reserves and NAFTA, to
name a few.

"The political issues in the Maritimes involve the three Fs – fishing,
farming and forestry, but they forget foreign issues," he said. "I'm
death on NAFTA, the back room deals and free trade. I say chuck it
(NAFTA) out the window.

NAFTA is the North American Free Trade Agreement which allows an
easier flow of goods between Canada, the United States and Mexico.

Amos disagrees with the idea that a vote for him is a wasted vote.

"There are no wasted votes," he said. "I want people like me,
especially young people, to pay attention and exercise their right.
Don't necessarily vote for me, but vote."

Although…if you're going to vote anyway, Amos would be happy to have
your X by his name.

"I want people to go into that voting booth, see my name, laugh and
say, 'what the hell.'"

Hello,

I’m working on cleaning the website Ecojustice, and I need your help
in removing some links from your site. Your site is probably perfectly
legitimate, but I’m just trying to eliminate as many links as
possible.

I’m asking this because it’s come to our attention that some of the
links to our website have been acquired against Google’s Webmaster
Guidelines, so it’s important for us to remove links that are harming
traffic to our website. Furthermore, by linking to our site, it could
be detrimental to your site’s overall traffic, so it will be important
for you to remove the link.

Here are some examples:
https://davidraymondamos3.blogspot.com/2021/11/annamie-paul-hands-in-resignation-as.html
he link need to be actually removed, rather than just disavowed. Even
if they are “nofollow,” I’d still like them removed.

Please let me know if you have any questions. If you could email me
once you have removed the link that would be great.

Thanks in advance! I hope to hear from you soon.

Kind Regards
Toks[https://www.semrush.com/link_building/tracksrv/?id=6a7245c7-fcf9-430c-b3b5-71fccfbf8720]
