CRA demands payment on scammed federal benefits — from the victim

CRA demands payment on scammed federal benefits — from the victim
whose account was hacked
Tax agency's website still vulnerable, 3 years after major security
breach, expert says
Rosa Marchitelli, Jenn Blair · CBC News · Posted: May 22, 2023 5:00 AM ADT
A man with a full beard wearing a black sweater holds a mobile phone
to his ear while looking off camera. Justice Mounsey of Toronto says
he's spent countless hours making calls and sending emails trying to
prove he's not the one making benefit claims or applying for credit —
after his financial information was stolen from the CanadaRevenue
Agency's website. (Craig Chivers/CBC)
Justice Mounsey is living a financial nightmare, battling a constant
onslaught of identity thieves applying for credit cards, loans and
more under his name after hackers got hold of his personal information
from a government website three years ago.
And as if that's not enough, that same department is forcing the
Toronto man to clear his name over and over again.
The personal and financial information of thousands of taxpayers,
including their bank account and social insurance numbers ended up in
the wrong hands after the CanadaRevenueAgency (CRA) and other
government service websites were hacked in the spring or summer of
2020.
Since then, fraudsters have tried to access credit and benefits under
Mounsey's name at least 18 times.
He's has had to deal with fraudulent credit card and bank account
applications, auto-payments to a utility company — and four EI claims
plus a CERB claim totalling about $40,000.

The most frustrating part, he says, is dealing with the government's
demands that he pay thousands of dollars in taxes and interest,
related to those EI claims.
"They just keep asking for more and more money," Mounsey told Go
Public. "I'm the victim here. This is their security protocol that
failed, but I'm left to pick up all the pieces."
WATCH | Fighting to clear his name:
Toronto hacking victim ‘living a financial nightmare’
Duration 2:25
Three years after his CRA account was hacked, a Toronto man says he's
been forced to clear his own record, despite government promises to
help people in his position. He says fraudsters used his social
insurance number to get federal benefits, and now he’s on the hook for
thousands of dollars.
Mounsey is a part of a class-action lawsuit, certified last year in
federal court, that claims "operational failures" by the government
allowed hackers to access the information.
The government has not commented on the lawsuit, but has said the
cyberattack relied on "credential stuffing"— using stolen IDs and
passwords to access other websites and applications — and urged
Canadians to avoid reusing passwords. Some saw this as an attempt to
blame the leak on its victims.
According to court documents, hackers successfully logged in to at
least 48,110 CRA accounts. They then changed the direct deposit
banking information on 12,700 taxpayer accounts and fraudulently
applied for CERB benefits. Mounsey is one of them.
"At the end of the day, you have a Canadian, who's been victimized by
a cyberattack," said Ritesh Kotak, a security analyst and a technology
lawyer.
"The fact that an individual has to go, and go through so many
different hoops, deal with so many different agencies, and spend
hundreds of hours to address this situation is just inappropriate."

building. The CRA eventually acknowledged Mounsey's information had
been stolen, but nonetheless is demanding he pay taxes and interest
related to bogus claims made by fraudsters. (Chris Wattie/Reuters)
Mounsey first learned about the cyberattack in the summer of 2020,
through his wife's friend, who had discovered her CRA account had been
hacked.
When he logged in, he noticed his direct deposit information had been
changed. He signed up for a credit monitoring and fraud alert service
and contacted Equifax, TransUnion, the CRA, and the Anti-Fraud Centre,
asking for a flag to be put on his accounts.
CRA threatens legal action
It took two and half years before the CRA officially notified Mounsey
he was possibly a victim of the hack. By that time, he had been
dealing with a flood of fraudulent activity.
A CRA letter dated Oct. 4, 2022, said "an unauthorized individual" had
possibly accessed his account and changed his direct deposit
information on May 27, 2020. It offered a five-year subscription to
TransUnion's online credit alert system. Mounsey says he tried to sign
up, but the link didn't work, plus he'd set up a credit fraud
detection service himself years earlier.
"When I received that letter [I thought] OK, this is an admission that
yes, my account is compromised. So my thought process then is like,
'finally someone understands and I'm not going to be receiving notice
that they're looking for money anymore. They want to support me,'" he
said.
But the letter didn't say anything about not coming after Mounsey for
money and, under the terms and conditions on its website, the CRA says
it's not responsible for damage to taxpayers related to "data security
violations."

computer monitors in soft focus in the background. Lawyer and
cybersecurity analyst Ritesh Kotak says the government failed to offer
the right supports to Canadians caught up in the CRA's website hack
(Keith Whelan/CBC)
Mounsey's optimism that he'd finally get help from the government
quickly faded. In March 2023, the CRA sent another letter, demanding
he pay $6,018.97 or face possible legal action for taxes and interest
charges related to those fraudulent EI claims.
"I was very upset… I think I've received maybe four different notices
stating, 'Hey, you've got to give us money… and if you don't pay us in
the next few months, we're going to start garnishing your wages.'
"The same organization was talking to me out of two sides in their
mouth." Mounsey said.
For months he's been trying to clear that up — bouncing between the
CRA and Service Canada, working to get the paperwork one department
wants to the other.
But instead of working with him, Mounsey says the departments are
making things harder. At one point, he says CRA closed his file
because Service Canada took too long to cancel a tax slip.
He had to start the process over again. All this despite Service
Canada having acknowledged, in a letter sent late April, that
fraudsters may have used Mounsey's personal information to submit
those EI applications.

papers in front of him. Behind him is the kitchen. He is not smiling.

three years dealing with fraudsters and the government. (Craig
Chivers/CBC)
Go Public asked both departments why they didn't work together to
resolve Mounsey's issues. Service Canada responded, saying it and CRA
are "two separate entities with different capabilities and
responsibilities."
"Service Canada works closely with claimants to resolve these issues
related to fraudulent EI applications as quickly as possible," it said
in an email.
The CRA tells Go Public it can't comment on specific taxpayer
situations because of confidentiality rules under the Income Tax Act.
Generally, it says in "cases of a confirmed identity theft incident,
the CRA will ensure that proper protection and corrective actions are
taken thereby returning the taxpayer to a seamless interaction with
the CRA."
But Kotak, the security expert, says Mounsey's interaction has been
anything but seamless.
"I deal with these victims all the time and it's heartbreaking," he
said. "The toothpaste is out of the tube and to put it back is just
not possible. Once your information has been compromised it is very
hard to make somebody whole... it's very difficult, in some cases even
impossible."
'Confidence and security'
The CRA says it has improved security on its website since the hacks,
including adding mandatory multi-factor authentication and proactively
revoking user IDs and passwords that may have been stolen elsewhere.
"Canadians can use the CRA's online services with confidence and
safety," it says.
But Tanya Janca, CEO and founder of the cybersecurity company We Hack
Purple, says the site still lacks some basic security measures.
A woman with long dark hair pulled back from her face faces the
camera. She is swearing a blue top and there is a bookshelf in the
background. Cybersecurity expert Tanya Janca says the CRA’s site still
lacks basic protections and worries taxpayers’ data could be at risk.
(Google Meet)
For one, she says, it doesn't have security headers — a feature that
configures users' browsers to use defence settings while on the
website — and which are required under the federal government's
security policy.
When Go Public asked about the lack of headers, the CRA didn't respond.
She's also concerned about the site's terms and conditions, saying the
federal department is waiving responsibility if accounts get hacked,
since taxpayers don't have a choice about sharing their sensitive
information with the agency.

Cyberattacks targeting CRA, Canadians' COVID-19 benefits have been

Those terms and conditions say there is a "remote possibility of data
security violations," and that the CRA is "not responsible for any
damages you may experience as a result."
The CRA told Go Public that disclaimer "ensures that taxpayers
understand their role in protecting their private information," adding
such disclaimers are commonly found on all kinds of banking and
government websites.
What's next?
Almost three years after the cyberattack, Mounsey says his credit is
messed up, and he worries about what he'll have to deal with next.
"[I need to do] everything that I can do to make sure that they're not
taking more money from me and to clear my name because no one else
seems to be helping," he said.
"I've worked with so many different people to try to rectify this, but
I get different messaging from each organization … It would be great
if they would talk to each other instead of putting all the onus on
me… It's really been a nightmare."
He's now working with Service Canada to get a new social insurance
number, but says he's not sure how much that will help since he's
still responsible for anything that happens with the old one.

Judge slams CRA and Justice Department for 'egregious' conduct in epic
Tax Court battle
Decision likely to affect dozens of Canadians appealing gross
negligence penalties from tax agency
Jason Proctor · CBC News · Posted: Oct 07, 2022 4:00 AM PT |

comply with pre-trial court rules and orders. (Chris Wattie/Reuters)
A Tax Court judge has slammed the CanadaRevenueAgency and the
Justice Department for "egregious" conduct that threatened to deny
three taxpayers the right to a fair trial in an epic battle over
millions of dollars worth of tax penalties.
In a scathing decision that could have widespread implications, Judge
Patrick Boyle found the CRA committed an "intentional and deliberate"
pattern of ignoring court rules to "frustrate" the right that all
Canadians have to get a full picture of an opponent's case before
heading to court.
The three taxpayers — a Manitoba psychiatrist, an Ontario nurse and a
B.C. Air Canada pilot — were appealing three million dollars' worth of
gross negligence penalties levelled against them, for rejected returns
filed through a pair of disgraced tax consultancy firms.
But after years of pre-trial delays resulting from the CRA's repeated
failure to comply with his orders, Boyle took the extraordinary
measure of allowing the appeals without having a trial on the merits
of the case this week, to "protect the integrity of the judicial
process."
CanadaRevenueAgency accused of blaming victims as 'gross
negligence' cases drag on
"I find the [CRA's] egregious approach to pre-trial discovery in these
appeals to prejudice all three appellants who have been denied," Boyle
wrote in his ruling.
"These abuses of the discovery process ... have caused considerable
delay and expense to three Appellants in respect of their appeals.
They have also led to an inefficient use of public resources financed
by all Canadians."
'With great power comes great responsibility'
Boyle's decision is the latest chapter in a saga that has seen
hundreds of Canadians slapped with gross negligence penalties after
filing returns through DeMara Consulting and Fiscal Arbitrators.
The principals of both companies were jailed for tax fraud for
promoting schemes Boyle says "resemble in many respects the
de-taxation practices of sovereign citizens, though with less of the
non-fiscal cultish aspects."

According to court records, B.C.-based DeMara's scheme was called "the
remedy" and essentially involved claiming personal expenditures and
debts as expenses and capital losses for a non-existent business.
Canada's Income Tax Act gives CRA the ability to levy penalties
against Canadians who make false statements and omissions on their tax
returns, either knowingly or under circumstances that amount to gross
negligence.
The penalties in the DeMara and Fiscal Arbitrators case have reached
into the millions, leading to a huge backlog of appeals that have been
making their way through tax court since 2013.
Tax agency obtains 'jeopardy order' for debt from Downton
Abbey-loving billionaire
Jeff Pniowsky, the Winnipeg-based lawyer who represented all three
plaintiffs, said fighting a decade-long court battle with the threat
of financial ruin hanging over their heads has cost his clients "years
of happiness."
"This was fundamentally a case about justice. Justice for the
taxpayers who had to endure years of gamesmanship and chicanery by one
of Canada's most powerful institutions: the CRA," Pniowsky told the
CBC.
Pniowsky, who has four children, said Boyle's ruling reminded him of a
line from one of his family's favourite superhero movies: Spiderman.
"With great power comes great responsibility," he said.
"It's clear from this case that the CRA and the Justice Department
have lost sight of that common-sense principle."
'Unprepared, unco-operative or untruthful'
Boyle's detailed 53-page ruling goes through the history of the case,
and the circumstances that led to each of the orders he found the CRA
later ignored.
The fight centred on pre-trial discovery, and the rights of the
taxpayers to examine a CRA representative or "nominee" who was
"knowledgeable" about their case.
The CRA has the ability to levy gross negligence penalties against
taxpayers who lie on their income tax forms. The penalties have been
devastating for some. (Graeme Roy/The Canadian Press)
The first person the agency put forward was "unaware of any criminal
investigation and had not informed himself" about any involvement of
the CRA's criminal investigators in the case.
The second nominee was a lead criminal investigator who "did not even
inform himself ... whether any investigation was undertaken of any of
these three appellants."
At one point, Boyle called the investigator "thoroughly unprepared,
unco-operative or untruthful."
The judge said the CRA and its lawyers twisted the words of an order
that boiled down to a demand for the agency to hand over any documents
relating to any investigations that touched on the three appellants.
"I variously described this as 'outrageously misleading and
inappropriate,''this might be contemptuous,' ... 'deeply, deeply
disturbed,''highly inappropriate' and 'I don't think you were
reasonably mistaken,'" Boyle wrote.
It is an ex-reference: B.C. judge removes 'dead parrot' joke from
class-action ruling
The judge also zeroed in on the CRA's failure to tell the defence that
the second page of a three-page "Investigation Abort Report" against
one of the plaintiffs had gone missing. The report was handed over in
the middle of hundreds of documents. The missing page explained why a
criminal investigation was dropped.
The CRA claimed it had no "specific obligation" to point out missing
pages — a position Boyle found "shocking."
"Courts do not consider discovery to be a game, and it is particularly
disappointing when the Crown is the offending party," the judge said.
He said the omission gave credence to the idea the CRA"is hiding
something from them, from the Court and from Canadians about how these
investigations have been conducted.
'Stop, or I'll yell stop again!'
The judge pointed out that the CRA is "represented by the Department
of Justice which is essentially Canada's largest national law firm and
employs a large number of tax litigation lawyers who are wholly
familiar" with the court's rules.
Boyle said making yet another order for compliance would be pointless.
The judge compared his battle to get the CRA to comply with his orders
to a skit by Monty Python, whose troupe members are seen here from
left to right: John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Terry Jones, Graham
Chapman, Michael Palin and Eric Idle. (PBS/Python (Monty) Pictures
Ltd./The Associated Press)
He was reminded of a skit by legendary English comedy troupe Monty Python.
"To make such an order would conjure up memories of the Pythonesque
skit of the British bobby of another era yelling at a scofflaw: 'Stop!
Stop!—Stop, or I'll yell 'stop' again!'" the judge wrote.
The three appeals were supposed to be the lead plaintiffs for a much
larger group of appeals. The judge said those people will have to
speak with their lawyers to determine how the ruling applies to them.
Pniowsky says he believes the decision is the first of its kind
against the CRA. He predicted fallout both in other DeMara and Fiscal
Arbitrators cases and in the wider world of tax litigation.
"Intoxicated with a sense of moral righteousness, the government
apparently determined or acted like these Canadians were not worthy of
basic procedural rights, thereby committing the same wrongs they
accused the taxpayers of: gross neglect, wilful blindness and at times
deceptive conduct," he said.

CRA demands payment on scammed federal benefits — from the victim

CRA demands payment on scammed federal benefits — from the victim
whose account was hacked
Tax agency's website still vulnerable, 3 years after major security
breach, expert says
Rosa Marchitelli, Jenn Blair · CBC News · Posted: May 22, 2023 5:00 AM ADT
A man with a full beard wearing a black sweater holds a mobile phone
to his ear while looking off camera. Justice Mounsey of Toronto says
he's spent countless hours making calls and sending emails trying to
prove he's not the one making benefit claims or applying for credit —
after his financial information was stolen from the CanadaRevenue
Agency's website. (Craig Chivers/CBC)
Justice Mounsey is living a financial nightmare, battling a constant
onslaught of identity thieves applying for credit cards, loans and
more under his name after hackers got hold of his personal information
from a government website three years ago.
And as if that's not enough, that same department is forcing the
Toronto man to clear his name over and over again.
The personal and financial information of thousands of taxpayers,
including their bank account and social insurance numbers ended up in
the wrong hands after the CanadaRevenueAgency (CRA) and other
government service websites were hacked in the spring or summer of
2020.
Since then, fraudsters have tried to access credit and benefits under
Mounsey's name at least 18 times.
He's has had to deal with fraudulent credit card and bank account
applications, auto-payments to a utility company — and four EI claims
plus a CERB claim totalling about $40,000.

The most frustrating part, he says, is dealing with the government's
demands that he pay thousands of dollars in taxes and interest,
related to those EI claims.
"They just keep asking for more and more money," Mounsey told Go
Public. "I'm the victim here. This is their security protocol that
failed, but I'm left to pick up all the pieces."
WATCH | Fighting to clear his name:
Toronto hacking victim ‘living a financial nightmare’
Duration 2:25
Three years after his CRA account was hacked, a Toronto man says he's
been forced to clear his own record, despite government promises to
help people in his position. He says fraudsters used his social
insurance number to get federal benefits, and now he’s on the hook for
thousands of dollars.
Mounsey is a part of a class-action lawsuit, certified last year in
federal court, that claims "operational failures" by the government
allowed hackers to access the information.
The government has not commented on the lawsuit, but has said the
cyberattack relied on "credential stuffing"— using stolen IDs and
passwords to access other websites and applications — and urged
Canadians to avoid reusing passwords. Some saw this as an attempt to
blame the leak on its victims.
According to court documents, hackers successfully logged in to at
least 48,110 CRA accounts. They then changed the direct deposit
banking information on 12,700 taxpayer accounts and fraudulently
applied for CERB benefits. Mounsey is one of them.
"At the end of the day, you have a Canadian, who's been victimized by
a cyberattack," said Ritesh Kotak, a security analyst and a technology
lawyer.
"The fact that an individual has to go, and go through so many
different hoops, deal with so many different agencies, and spend
hundreds of hours to address this situation is just inappropriate."

building. The CRA eventually acknowledged Mounsey's information had
been stolen, but nonetheless is demanding he pay taxes and interest
related to bogus claims made by fraudsters. (Chris Wattie/Reuters)
Mounsey first learned about the cyberattack in the summer of 2020,
through his wife's friend, who had discovered her CRA account had been
hacked.
When he logged in, he noticed his direct deposit information had been
changed. He signed up for a credit monitoring and fraud alert service
and contacted Equifax, TransUnion, the CRA, and the Anti-Fraud Centre,
asking for a flag to be put on his accounts.
CRA threatens legal action
It took two and half years before the CRA officially notified Mounsey
he was possibly a victim of the hack. By that time, he had been
dealing with a flood of fraudulent activity.
A CRA letter dated Oct. 4, 2022, said "an unauthorized individual" had
possibly accessed his account and changed his direct deposit
information on May 27, 2020. It offered a five-year subscription to
TransUnion's online credit alert system. Mounsey says he tried to sign
up, but the link didn't work, plus he'd set up a credit fraud
detection service himself years earlier.
"When I received that letter [I thought] OK, this is an admission that
yes, my account is compromised. So my thought process then is like,
'finally someone understands and I'm not going to be receiving notice
that they're looking for money anymore. They want to support me,'" he
said.
But the letter didn't say anything about not coming after Mounsey for
money and, under the terms and conditions on its website, the CRA says
it's not responsible for damage to taxpayers related to "data security
violations."

computer monitors in soft focus in the background. Lawyer and
cybersecurity analyst Ritesh Kotak says the government failed to offer
the right supports to Canadians caught up in the CRA's website hack
(Keith Whelan/CBC)
Mounsey's optimism that he'd finally get help from the government
quickly faded. In March 2023, the CRA sent another letter, demanding
he pay $6,018.97 or face possible legal action for taxes and interest
charges related to those fraudulent EI claims.
"I was very upset… I think I've received maybe four different notices
stating, 'Hey, you've got to give us money… and if you don't pay us in
the next few months, we're going to start garnishing your wages.'
"The same organization was talking to me out of two sides in their
mouth." Mounsey said.
For months he's been trying to clear that up — bouncing between the
CRA and Service Canada, working to get the paperwork one department
wants to the other.
But instead of working with him, Mounsey says the departments are
making things harder. At one point, he says CRA closed his file
because Service Canada took too long to cancel a tax slip.
He had to start the process over again. All this despite Service
Canada having acknowledged, in a letter sent late April, that
fraudsters may have used Mounsey's personal information to submit
those EI applications.

papers in front of him. Behind him is the kitchen. He is not smiling.

three years dealing with fraudsters and the government. (Craig

Go Public asked both departments why they didn't work together to
resolve Mounsey's issues. Service Canada responded, saying it and CRA
are "two separate entities with different capabilities and
responsibilities."
"Service Canada works closely with claimants to resolve these issues
related to fraudulent EI applications as quickly as possible," it said
in an email.
The CRA tells Go Public it can't comment on specific taxpayer
situations because of confidentiality rules under the Income Tax Act.
Generally, it says in "cases of a confirmed identity theft incident,
the CRA will ensure that proper protection and corrective actions are
taken thereby returning the taxpayer to a seamless interaction with
the CRA."
But Kotak, the security expert, says Mounsey's interaction has been
anything but seamless.
"I deal with these victims all the time and it's heartbreaking," he
said. "The toothpaste is out of the tube and to put it back is just
not possible. Once your information has been compromised it is very
hard to make somebody whole... it's very difficult, in some cases even
impossible."
'Confidence and security'
The CRA says it has improved security on its website since the hacks,
including adding mandatory multi-factor authentication and proactively
revoking user IDs and passwords that may have been stolen elsewhere.
"Canadians can use the CRA's online services with confidence and
safety," it says.
But Tanya Janca, CEO and founder of the cybersecurity company We Hack
Purple, says the site still lacks some basic security measures.

camera. She is swearing a blue top and there is a bookshelf in the
background. Cybersecurity expert Tanya Janca says the CRA’s site still
lacks basic protections and worries taxpayers’ data could be at risk.
(Google Meet)
For one, she says, it doesn't have security headers — a feature that
configures users' browsers to use defence settings while on the
website — and which are required under the federal government's
security policy.
When Go Public asked about the lack of headers, the CRA didn't respond.
She's also concerned about the site's terms and conditions, saying the
federal department is waiving responsibility if accounts get hacked,
since taxpayers don't have a choice about sharing their sensitive
information with the agency.

Cyberattacks targeting CRA, Canadians' COVID-19 benefits have been

Those terms and conditions say there is a "remote possibility of data
security violations," and that the CRA is "not responsible for any
damages you may experience as a result."
The CRA told Go Public that disclaimer "ensures that taxpayers
understand their role in protecting their private information," adding
such disclaimers are commonly found on all kinds of banking and
government websites.
What's next?
Almost three years after the cyberattack, Mounsey says his credit is
messed up, and he worries about what he'll have to deal with next.
"[I need to do] everything that I can do to make sure that they're not
taking more money from me and to clear my name because no one else
seems to be helping," he said.
"I've worked with so many different people to try to rectify this, but
I get different messaging from each organization … It would be great
if they would talk to each other instead of putting all the onus on
me… It's really been a nightmare."
He's now working with Service Canada to get a new social insurance
number, but says he's not sure how much that will help since he's
still responsible for anything that happens with the old one.

Judge slams CRA and Justice Department for 'egregious' conduct in epic
Tax Court battle
Decision likely to affect dozens of Canadians appealing gross
negligence penalties from tax agency
Jason Proctor · CBC News · Posted: Oct 07, 2022 4:00 AM PT |
A tax Court judge has slammed the CanadaRevenueAgency for failing to
comply with pre-trial court rules and orders. (Chris Wattie/Reuters)
A Tax Court judge has slammed the CanadaRevenueAgency and the
Justice Department for "egregious" conduct that threatened to deny
three taxpayers the right to a fair trial in an epic battle over
millions of dollars worth of tax penalties.
In a scathing decision that could have widespread implications, Judge
Patrick Boyle found the CRA committed an "intentional and deliberate"
pattern of ignoring court rules to "frustrate" the right that all
Canadians have to get a full picture of an opponent's case before
heading to court.
The three taxpayers — a Manitoba psychiatrist, an Ontario nurse and a
B.C. Air Canada pilot — were appealing three million dollars' worth of
gross negligence penalties levelled against them, for rejected returns
filed through a pair of disgraced tax consultancy firms.
But after years of pre-trial delays resulting from the CRA's repeated
failure to comply with his orders, Boyle took the extraordinary
measure of allowing the appeals without having a trial on the merits
of the case this week, to "protect the integrity of the judicial
process."
CanadaRevenueAgency accused of blaming victims as 'gross
negligence' cases drag on
"I find the [CRA's] egregious approach to pre-trial discovery in these
appeals to prejudice all three appellants who have been denied," Boyle
wrote in his ruling.
"These abuses of the discovery process ... have caused considerable
delay and expense to three Appellants in respect of their appeals.
They have also led to an inefficient use of public resources financed
by all Canadians."
'With great power comes great responsibility'
Boyle's decision is the latest chapter in a saga that has seen
hundreds of Canadians slapped with gross negligence penalties after
filing returns through DeMara Consulting and Fiscal Arbitrators.
The principals of both companies were jailed for tax fraud for
promoting schemes Boyle says "resemble in many respects the
de-taxation practices of sovereign citizens, though with less of the
non-fiscal cultish aspects."

According to court records, B.C.-based DeMara's scheme was called "the
remedy" and essentially involved claiming personal expenditures and
debts as expenses and capital losses for a non-existent business.
Canada's Income Tax Act gives CRA the ability to levy penalties
against Canadians who make false statements and omissions on their tax
returns, either knowingly or under circumstances that amount to gross
negligence.
The penalties in the DeMara and Fiscal Arbitrators case have reached
into the millions, leading to a huge backlog of appeals that have been
making their way through tax court since 2013.
Tax agency obtains 'jeopardy order' for debt from Downton
Abbey-loving billionaire
Jeff Pniowsky, the Winnipeg-based lawyer who represented all three
plaintiffs, said fighting a decade-long court battle with the threat
of financial ruin hanging over their heads has cost his clients "years
of happiness."
"This was fundamentally a case about justice. Justice for the
taxpayers who had to endure years of gamesmanship and chicanery by one
of Canada's most powerful institutions: the CRA," Pniowsky told the
CBC.
Pniowsky, who has four children, said Boyle's ruling reminded him of a
line from one of his family's favourite superhero movies: Spiderman.
"With great power comes great responsibility," he said.
"It's clear from this case that the CRA and the Justice Department
have lost sight of that common-sense principle."
'Unprepared, unco-operative or untruthful'
Boyle's detailed 53-page ruling goes through the history of the case,
and the circumstances that led to each of the orders he found the CRA
later ignored.
The fight centred on pre-trial discovery, and the rights of the
taxpayers to examine a CRA representative or "nominee" who was
"knowledgeable" about their case.
The CRA has the ability to levy gross negligence penalties against
taxpayers who lie on their income tax forms. The penalties have been
devastating for some. (Graeme Roy/The Canadian Press)
The first person the agency put forward was "unaware of any criminal
investigation and had not informed himself" about any involvement of
the CRA's criminal investigators in the case.
The second nominee was a lead criminal investigator who "did not even
inform himself ... whether any investigation was undertaken of any of
these three appellants."
At one point, Boyle called the investigator "thoroughly unprepared,
unco-operative or untruthful."
The judge said the CRA and its lawyers twisted the words of an order
that boiled down to a demand for the agency to hand over any documents
relating to any investigations that touched on the three appellants.
"I variously described this as 'outrageously misleading and
inappropriate,''this might be contemptuous,' ... 'deeply, deeply
disturbed,''highly inappropriate' and 'I don't think you were
reasonably mistaken,'" Boyle wrote.
It is an ex-reference: B.C. judge removes 'dead parrot' joke from
class-action ruling
The judge also zeroed in on the CRA's failure to tell the defence that
the second page of a three-page "Investigation Abort Report" against
one of the plaintiffs had gone missing. The report was handed over in
the middle of hundreds of documents. The missing page explained why a
criminal investigation was dropped.
The CRA claimed it had no "specific obligation" to point out missing
pages — a position Boyle found "shocking."
"Courts do not consider discovery to be a game, and it is particularly
disappointing when the Crown is the offending party," the judge said.
He said the omission gave credence to the idea the CRA"is hiding
something from them, from the Court and from Canadians about how these
investigations have been conducted.
'Stop, or I'll yell stop again!'
The judge pointed out that the CRA is "represented by the Department
of Justice which is essentially Canada's largest national law firm and
employs a large number of tax litigation lawyers who are wholly
familiar" with the court's rules.
Boyle said making yet another order for compliance would be pointless.
The judge compared his battle to get the CRA to comply with his orders
to a skit by Monty Python, whose troupe members are seen here from
left to right: John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Terry Jones, Graham
Chapman, Michael Palin and Eric Idle. (PBS/Python (Monty) Pictures
Ltd./The Associated Press)
He was reminded of a skit by legendary English comedy troupe Monty Python.
"To make such an order would conjure up memories of the Pythonesque
skit of the British bobby of another era yelling at a scofflaw: 'Stop!
Stop!—Stop, or I'll yell 'stop' again!'" the judge wrote.
The three appeals were supposed to be the lead plaintiffs for a much
larger group of appeals. The judge said those people will have to
speak with their lawyers to determine how the ruling applies to them.
Pniowsky says he believes the decision is the first of its kind
against the CRA. He predicted fallout both in other DeMara and Fiscal
Arbitrators cases and in the wider world of tax litigation.
"Intoxicated with a sense of moral righteousness, the government
apparently determined or acted like these Canadians were not worthy of
basic procedural rights, thereby committing the same wrongs they
accused the taxpayers of: gross neglect, wilful blindness and at times
deceptive conduct," he said.

Lawyer for Pastor James Coates: “No evidence” Alberta health orders
serve public safety, says John Carpay
By Rebel News | March 05, 2021
Remove Ads
Pastor James Coates of GraceLife Church has been held in custody at
the Edmonton Remand Centre for nearly two weeks. This morning, after
finding out that the pastor's bail hearing was denied, Ezra Levant
invited lawyer John Carpay of the Justice Centre for Constitutional
Freedoms on to our Rebel News Daily livestream to discuss the case.
Make sure to watch the full video, but here's some of what John had to
say about the ongoing legal difficulties faced by an Alberta religious
leader arrested for refusing to shut down his church and turn
believers away:
“The silver lining on that cloud is that, because of the suffering
of Pastor Coates, the government's going to be forced to show the
public the science, the evidence [for lockdowns] for the first time
ever.
“Because all we've had in the last twelve months is fear-mongering
and speculation and assertions, and the government doesn't have the
evidence... they're going to have to scramble hard in the next two
months to come up with it.”
When asked about the type of charges laid against the pastor, John responded:
“My understanding is that Pastor Coates would not go to prison,
unless he was found in contempt of court. And if so, the Alberta
government sought a specific injunction against GraceLife Church in
Edmonton... and was successful -- if there was specific court
injunction against that church, and if Pastor Coates or other members
of that church... defied the injunction, they could be found to be in
contempt of court.
“...my understanding is that there's no jail time for that.”
Pastor James Coates of GraceLife Church will remain in prison until May.

Religion vs. State Day 2: should churches in B.C. really be closed?
By Drea Humphrey | March 05, 2021
Should churches really be closed in BC?
On Tuesday, I went back to the Vancouver courts to report on the
second day of a Supreme Court of British Columbia hearing, where Chief
Justice Christopher Hinkson is set to rule on a legal challenge that
was filed by the the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms. The
JCCF is challenging the B.C. government's restrictions against
peaceful protests and in-person worship services.
On day one of the hearing, there were many pastors and protesters
outside of the courthouse, speaking out about why in desperate times
like these, churches desperately need to be open. Zoom services just
don't cut it for everyone.
This got me wondering, what does the average Vancouverite feel about
Provincial Health Officer Dr. Bonnie Henry’s decision to ban in-person
worship services, while keeping nearly everything else open, including
pubs like St. James Well, which was recently linked to over 300
COVID-19 cases? Also, do they believe people should be able to
exercise their right to peacefully protest during life with COVID-19?
And if they do agree with most of the COVID-19 restrictions placed on
the people, exactly how long do they believe society should have to
follow such restrictions?
So many questions, and day two of this hearing was the perfect place
to ask them, across the street from the courthouse. Passerby couldn’t
help but look in the direction of the courthouse, as there were two
types of demonstrations occurring outside of it. While one was there
to gather for an outdoor church service in protest for freedom of
religion, the two groups shared a common cause over the right to
protest. That’s because the second group was gathering in protest
while inside, Stacy Gallagher, an Indigenous opponent of the Trans
Mountain pipeline, was sentenced to 90 days in prison after being
convicted of criminal contempt for her mobilization against the
pipeline.

MORE SUCCESS: Calgary street church pastor has mask bylaw tickets thrown out
By Sheila Gunn Reid | March 04, 2021
Today I have another FightTheFines.com victory to report, this one in
the ongoing saga of Calgary Street Church Pastor Artur Pawlowski.
Rebel News viewers may recognize Art as one of our very first
www.FightTheFines.com cases. He had been fined $1,200 for supposedly
breaching the lockdown. In reality, he was helping feed downtown
Calgary's homeless population, something Art does as part of his
ministry to those who need it the most.
We hired a lawyer to help Art, and police ended up dropping that
ridiculous fine. But then the lockdown returned, and so did the
systemic crackdown on Art's outreach to hungry and homeless. Art and
his brother were charged with organizing a protest, for violating
orders on outdoor gatherings — I guess that's what we call feeding the
hungry these days. They were also charged for not wearing a mask while
distributing food to the homeless, even though Art and his brother
were both outside, where you don't have to wear a mask.
Art's been a long time critic of Calgary Mayor Naheed Nenshi, and it
looked like city officials were taking out their petty grievances on
Art and using their new coronavirus ticket books to do it.
The top-notch lawyer we hired for Art who got those first fines thrown
out, SarahMiller, now has another win for Art: she was able to have
the mask violation fines tossed out. However, Sarah's work isn't even
close to done. Art isn't going to stop feeding the homeless, and it
appears the City of Calgary isn't going to stop ticketing him for
doing it. Because of this, the fines are piling up, and so is Sarah's
work to fight for her client.
If you'd like to help us secure more wins for Art and other Canadians
with coronavirus fines as we fight for civil liberties, one lockdown
ticket at a time, please donate today at www.FightTheFines.com.

Judge rules Edmonton pastor will remain in jail until his trial in May
By Terry Haig |
english@rcinet.ca
Posted: Friday, March 5, 2021 13:45
An Alberta pastor who has clashed for months with provincial health
authorities over COVID-19 restrictions will remain in jail until he
goes to trial in May because he refuses to follow a bail condition
that requires he comply with public health orders.
The pastor, James Coates of the GraceLife Church in Parkland County
west of Edmonton, has been in jail for over two weeks and was
appealing his bail conditions.
After hearing arguments yesterday from Coates’s lawyers, Court of
Queen’s Bench Justice Peter Michalyshyn dismissed the bail review this
morning.
Coates is charged with violating Alberta’s Public Health Act and with
breaking a promise to abide by conditions of his bail release, which
is a Criminal Code offence.

Coates was arrested for holding Sunday services in violation of
COVID-19 rules. (THE CANADIAN PRESS/Jason Franson)
His lawyer, James Kitchen, told the court Thursday that Coates can’t
follow a bail condition that forbids him from holding services because
that would violate his conscience by disobeying God.
“This is a matter of deep-seeded personal conscience and religious
beliefs for Pastor Coates,” Kitchen said.
“He is unable to disobey the God he believes in. He is compelled to
obey … as [are] his congregants.”
The prosecution argued that Coates’s release would be a danger to the public.
Outside the courthouse, dozens of Coates’s supporters gathered–many of
them not wearing face masks–and more than 350 attended the hearing via
the court’s web conferencing software.
Some failed to mute their microphones, leading to frequent disruptions.
Supporters rallied outside court yesterday as lawyers for James Coates
appealed his bail conditions. (THE CANADIAN PRESS/Jason Franson)
Coates turned himself in to police on Feb. 16 and was charged with two
counts in contravention of the Public Health Act and charged for
failing to comply with a condition of his undertaking.
He refused release, saying he could not abide by the conditions.
Prior to his detention, his Sunday services were drawing up to 300
members, and in early February Coates was charged for a second time
for breaking the rules.
He was fined in December and Alberta Health Services ordered the
church to close in January, but Coates ignored the orders.
The church has continued to hold services, even though Coates is in custody.

Alberta court jails Pastor Coates through to May 3-5 trial
Mar 5th, 2021
EDMONTON: The Justice Centre is very disappointed to announce that
Justice Peter Michalyshyn of the Alberta Court of Queen’s Bench in
Edmonton has ruled that Pastor James Coates of Grace Life Church must
remain in jail for the next eight weeks pending his trial, unless he
agrees to abide by health orders that violate his Charter freedoms of
conscience, religion, expression, association and peaceful assembly.
Pastor Coates has been in custody at the Edmonton Remand Centre since
February 16, after he refused to sign a bail condition to comply with
provincial health orders that violate his Charter freedoms of
conscience, religion, expression, association and peaceful assembly.
The Justice Centre filed an appeal in the Alberta Court of Queen’s
Bench, to seek the release of Pastor Coates from jail prior to a trial
date set for May 3-5, 2021, in Alberta Provincial Court in Stony
Plain. The Justice Centre represents Pastor Coates and Grace Life
Church, a large church just west of Edmonton. Alberta Health Services
(AHS) ticketed Pastor Coates, taken Grace Life and Pastor Coates to
court, and even attempted to completely shut the Church down.
Background information on Pastor Coates’ ordeal is available here.
“A trial set eight weeks down the road was too long for an innocent
Pastor to be in jail. Pastor Coates is a peaceful Christian minister.
He should never have been required to violate his conscience and
effectively stop pastoring his church as a condition to be released.
In every way this was a violation of Pastor Coates’ Charter rights and
freedoms,” states lawyer John Carpay, president of the Justice Centre.
“Charter freedoms do not disappear because the government declares
regular church services to be outlawed while allowing hundreds of
people to fill their local Walmarts,” notes Carpay.

Alberta pastor charged with violating Public Health Act, still in
custody for refusing conditions: RCMP
Diego Romero
CTVNewsEdmonton.ca Digital Journalist
Published Wednesday, February 17, 2021 5:32PM MST
EDMONTON -- A pastor west of Edmonton remains in custody Wednesday
after he was charged with breaking Alberta's Public Health Act and
refusing to agree to the conditions of his release, RCMP said.
James Coates turned himself in to police on Tuesday, two days after a
service Alberta Health Services and RCMP attended where he "was not
complying with his Undertaking release conditions" issued a week
earlier, police said.
The pastor was charged with two counts of contravention of the Public
Health Act and failing to comply with a condition of his undertaking.

Alberta church opens on Sunday despite closure order over COVID-19
violations
Coates attended a bail hearing Tuesday and was to be released on
conditions, but was kept in custody overnight "after refusing to agree
to those conditions," RCMP said.
Those conditions, his lawyer told CTV News, include stopping church
services, but "Coates could not, in good conscience, agree to that
condition."
The pastor made a court appearance on Wednesday and was given a second
court appearance for next Wednesday after he continued to refuse to
agree to the conditions, Mounties added.
“We’ve been consistent in our approach of escalated levels of
enforcement with Pastor Coates, and we were hopeful to resolve this
issue in a different manner,” said RCMP Insp. Mike Lokken. “The
Pastor’s actions, and the subsequent effects those actions could have
on the health and safety of citizens, dictated our response in this
situation.”
On Tuesday, Coates' lawyer told CTV News his client was willing to go
to jail in order to do the "right thing."
"His first obedience is to his Lord, is to his God. And normally,
obeying Jesus and obeying the government go right in hand," James
Kitchen said. "The government's forcing him in to a position where he
has to choose between disobeying God and obeying government, or
obeying God and disobeying government."
GraceLife was first cited for hosting more than 15 per cent of its
capacity at a December service and the pastor was fined $1,200.
A Court of Queen's Bench order was issued in January when it continued
to break COVID-19 restrictions.
GraceLife has held services for three consecutive weeks after it was
ordered to close at the end of January.
The church was not in compliance with the Public Health Act last
Sunday, RCMP said Wednesday.
A day earlier in a statement, GraceLife said: "We do not see our
actions as perpetuating the longevity of COVID-19 or any other virus
that will inevitably come along. If anything, we see our actions as
contributing to its end – the end of destructive lockdowns and the end
of the attempt to institutionalize the debilitating fear of viral
infections. Our local church is clear evidence that governmental
lockdowns are unnecessary. In fact, it is also evidence of how harmful
they are."
Criminal lawyer Tom Engel says the RCMP should shut down the church
and charge everyone in attendance.
"Every person who is in that church knows that they are breaking the
law," he said.
'UNCOMMONLY GOOD' RELATIONSHIP WITH RCMP: KITCHEN
Coates' lawyer told CTV News GraceLife has an "uncommonly good"
relationship with the RCMP because "the police have acted, in this
case, very differently than how they have acted with a lot of other
people."
Complicating Kitchen's claim is the fact that a retired Mountie, Paul
Claassen, is GraceLife's chair.
"It leads to the impression that there's a double standard, there's a
bias in favour of this church," Engel said.
But in a statement, Insp. Lokken said: "Our response to the non
compliance of the Church has been consistent with our overall RCMP
strategy in the Province which is; education, an opportunity for
compliance, and lastly, enforcement. Parkland RCMP has managed the
investigation into the GraceLife Church with absolutely no influence
from any member of their administration or congregation, regardless of
any past or present affiliation with our organization.
"The RCMP has conducted all their interactions with the Church in an
impartial, professional, and respectful manner.”

RE: Rampant Public Corruption
Hey,
Pursuant to my recent phone calls to Norman Sabourin and various
underlings of Shirley Heafey within the Commission for Public
Complaints against the RCMP over the years plus my many faxes and
emails please find enclosed exactly the same material received by
every Attorney General in Canada over the past year. The CD which is a
copy of a police surveillance wiretap tape # 139 is served upon you as
officers of the court in order that it may be properly investigated.
As you can see I have enclosed a copy of a letter sent to the latest
Attorney General Mr. Wally Opal in BC. Perhaps he should take a little
trip to Surrey and ask your office some hard questions. Perhaps the
ghost of my fellow Independent politician, Chuck Cadman may wish to
answer few questions now as well. Hard telling not knowing.
I will not bother you with the details of what I am sending to
you byway of the certified US Mail because I will be serving identical
material to many other Canadian Authorities in hand and tell them I
gave this stuff to you first and enclose a copy of this letter. All
that is important to me right now is that I secure proof that this
mail was sent before I make my way back home to the Maritimes. However
I will say I am also enclosing a great deal more material than what
Allan Rock had received in the UN. Some of it is in fact the same
material the two maritime lawyers, Rob Moore and Franky Boy McKenna in
particular received, while I was up home running for Parliament last
year. Things have changed greatly in the past year so I have also
included a few recent items to spice thing up for you. I am tired of
trying to convince people employed in law enforcement to uphold the
law. So all I will say for now is deal will your own conscience and be
careful how you respond to this letter. If you do not respond. Rest
assured I will do my best to sue you some day. Ignorance is no excuse
to the law or me.

Robin Camp case: What does it take to remove a judge from the bench?
Only two federally appointed judges recommended for dismissal since 1971
By Nicole Ireland, CBC News Posted: Nov 12, 2015 5:00 AM ET
The case of a judge who asked a woman, "Why couldn't you just keep
your knees together?" during an Alberta sexual assault trial is
raising questions about what kind of behaviour warrants removing a
justice from the bench.
Judge under review for berating sex assault complainant
Read the complaint against Justice Robin Camp
Only two judges have been recommended for removal by the Canadian
Judicial Council — a group of federally appointed judges tasked with
investigating complaints about their peers — since it was created in
1971.
Trevor Farrow
Trevor Farrow, associate dean at Osgoode Hall Law School in Toronto,
says it's 'a good thing' that judges don't lightly recommend
dismissing their peers. (Osgoode Hall Law School)
In both cases, the judges resigned before the recommendations made it
to Parliament, which ultimately decides whether or not to dismiss a
Canadian judge.
On Monday, the judicial council announced it was reviewing the conduct
of Robin Camp while he was an Alberta provincial court judge in 2014,
when he presided over a case involving a 19-year-old woman who alleged
she was sexually assaulted by a Calgary man during a house party.
According to the complaint that prompted the review, in addition to
the "keep your knees together" comment, Camp asked during the trial,
"Why didn't you just sink your bottom down into the basin so he
couldn't penetrate you?" (The woman alleged she was sexually assaulted
over a sink).
"At numerous points during the proceeding, Justice Camp was dismissive
of, if not contemptuous towards, the substantive law of sexual assault
and the rules of evidence," the complaint said. "In particular, he
showed disregard, if not disdain, for the rape shield provisions under
the Criminal Code, the legal definition of consent to sexual touching,
and the Criminal Code provision and case law regarding the doctrine of
recent complaint.
"His articulated disrespect for these legal rules was, in some
instances, combined with a refusal to apply them."
The Canadian Judicial Council must decide whether the complaint
against Camp, now a Federal Court judge, has merit and, if so, whether
it warrants the establishment of a review panel that could call a
public inquiry.
In the last four decades, the judicial council has ordered public
inquiries for 11 complaints against judges. Two of those inquiries are
still ongoing. In some cases, the judge resigned before the inquiry
was complete. For example, the late Judge Robert Flahiff was convicted
in 1999 for laundering money for a drug dealer back in the 1980s,
before he became a judge. He resigned before the judicial council
finished its inquiry.
Former Quebec judge convicted of money laundering dies
Convicted Quebec judge resigns
In other cases, the council recommended that the judges involved not
be removed from the bench — even if there had been inappropriate
conduct.
"It's not a fait accompli that if you have engaged in some kind of
misconduct you should be removed from office," said Norman Sabourin,
the Canadian Judicial Council's executive director, in an interview
with CBC News on Tuesday. "Assessing the gravity of a misconduct is a
difficult exercise."

Canadian Judicial Council exec on review of judge's behaviour7:06
The overarching question in making that determination, the council
said, is whether the judge has the required confidence of the public
to continue to preside in court.
So when has the council recommended that a judge be removed? Here are
the two cases in which that happened. The details come from documents
available on the Canadian Judicial Council's website:
Paul Cosgrove, Ontario Superior Court
On April 22, 2004, Ontario's attorney general at the time, Michael
Bryant, asked the council to consider whether Judge Paul Cosgrove
should be removed from office based on his conduct in the murder trial
of Julia Yvonne Elliott.
The attorney general said Cosgrove had ordered an "unwarranted stay"
of proceedings.
Ontario judge resigns over misconduct
"The proceedings tarnished the administration of justice and turned
into an exercise of vilifying the state built on irrelevant,
inappropriate and harmful findings," Bryant wrote. "The proceedings
trivialized the charter and deprived society and the victim's family
of any semblance of justice."
The attorney general's complaint alleged that Cosgrove had
demonstrated similar behaviour in other court cases, citing Court of
Appeal findings that the judge had "reduced the proceedings to a
'procedural nightmare' for the Crown" and shown a "suspicious attitude
toward the government that caused him to misapprehend some of the
evidence before him."
On March 30, 2009, after a public inquiry, the Canadian Judicial
Council recommended that Cosgrove be removed from office. The judge
resigned the following month.
Jean Bienvenue, Superior Court of Quebec
In December 1995, the then attorneys general of Quebec and Canada,
Paul Bégin and Allan Rock, asked the Canadian Judicial Council for a
public inquiry into the conduct of Judge Jean Bienvenue during the
trial of Tracy Théberge, who was convicted of second-degree murder in
death of her husband.
According to the inquiry report, Bienvenue made offensive comments
about Jewish victims of the Holocaust and about women while sentencing
the accused.
"It is said that when women ascend the scale of virtues, they reach
higher than men, and I have always believed this. And it is also said,
and this too I believe, that when they decide to degrade themselves,
they sink to depths to which even the vilest man could not sink,"
Bienvenue said.
The judge also said: "At the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp in
Poland, which I once visited horror-stricken, even the Nazis did not
eliminate millions of Jews in a painful or bloody manner. They died in
the gas chambers, without suffering."
During the inquiry, Bienvenue argued that he had not meant to be
offensive and that he had met with the Canadian Jewish Congress. He
also issued a statement apologizing to women offended by his remarks.
On June 25, 1996, four out of five members of the Canadian Judicial
Council committee recommended that Bienvenue be removed from office.
They wrote, "We believe that if Mr. Justice Bienvenue were to preside
over a case, a reasonable and informed person... would have a
reasonable apprehension that the judge would not execute his office
with the objectivity, impartiality and independence that the public is
entitled to expect from a judge."
Bienvenue resigned before the recommendation went to Parliament.
What does the low number of removals mean?
The rarity of judges removing their peers from the bench is a
reflection of the value Canada places on an independent judiciary,
said Trevor Farrow, a professor and associate dean at Osgoode Hall Law
School in Toronto.
"Judges don't recommend removal lightly," he said. "That's a good
thing when you're balancing the requirement that judges have the
courage and independence to make tough choices in often really
challenging circumstances that involve vulnerable people."
At the same time, Farrow said, it's important that the Canadian
Judicial Council has "the power to recommend sanctions, including
removal if warranted, to maintain the public's trust and confidence."

Federal Court judge Robin Camp faces inquiry over sexual assault trial conduct
7-day public hearing will determine if judge who referred to rape
victim as 'the accused' can remain on bench
By Meghan Grant, CBC News Posted: Aug 31, 2016 6:15 PM MT
An inquiry begins Tuesday afternoon for a judge, formerly with Alberta
provincial court, who is facing dismissal from the Federal Court over
controversial comments directed at a sexual assault complainant in
2014.
Judge Robin Camp's 'insensitive, rude' comments not grounds for
dismissal: lawyer
The public hearing takes place before a panel of five — three superior
court judges and two senior lawyers — over the next week-and-a-half at
the Westin Hotel in downtown Calgary.
"These are public hearings, they're open and they're transparent,"
said Johanna Laporte with the Canadian Judicial Council (CJC).
"The council recognizes that public confidence in the justice system
can only be enhanced by these open proceedings and it's the council's
mandate to ensure that serious matters involving judges are thoroughly
investigated."
Robin Camp, who berated sex assault complainant, says counselling
will make him a better judge
Inquiry into Judge Robin Camp to hear from advocates for sex assault victims
Alberta Attorney General Kathleen Ganley forced the inquiry in January
after a complaint made by two law professors at the University of
Calgary and Dalhousie University.
After opening remarks by presenting counsel and Camp's lawyer,
intervenors — women's groups and sexual assault centres — will make
submissions and finally, the panel will hear from Camp himself, who
has previously indicated he plans to apologize.
Panel members will then deliberate before releasing a decision —
likely in written form — on whether or not Camp should remain on the
bench at the Federal Court.
"The inquiry is squarely tasked with determining if the facts
surrounding the complaint are serious enough to warrant the judge's
removal," said Laporte.
'Why didn't you just sink your bottom down'
During the 2014 trial, Camp asked the complainant "why couldn't you
just keep your knees together" during her testimony in his role as an
Alberta Provincial Court judge.
The then 19-year-old woman alleged she was raped by Alexander Scott
Wagar over a bathroom sink at a Calgary house party. Throughout the
trial, Camp repeatedly referred to her as "the accused."
"Why didn't you just sink your bottom down into the basin so he
couldn't penetrate you?" Camp asked the woman.
"That kind of comment goes back to the dinosaur age as far as I'm
concerned," said Danielle Aubry with Calgary Communities Against
Sexual Abuse.
Camp acquitted Wagar, but the Alberta Court of Appeal overturned the
ruling and ordered a new trial. By that time, Camp had been elevated
to the Federal Court.
"When you become a judge ... that's a privilege, it's a very high
position," said Aubry.
"It's incredulous to me that there are people sitting on the bench
that are not educating themselves about issues like sexual violence."
In ordering a new trial, the Court of Appeal wrote that the judge's
comments raised doubts about his understanding of sexual assault laws.
The Canadian Judicial Council received the initial complaint from four
law professors at Dalhousie University and the University of Calgary.
After that, dozens more flooded in.
Gender and sensitivity training
In his notice of response posted to the CJC website, Camp indicated
that he agrees his comments were "insensitive and inappropriate," but

Camp arranged and paid for his sensitivity training himself, during
which he worked with a Superior Court judge, a psychologist and an
expert on the law of sexual assault.
He has indicated that he wishes to remain a judge.
The council members include Justice Austin Cullen, who will act as
chairperson, Justice Deborah Smith and Justice Raymond Whalen. The two
senior lawyers, Karen Jensen and Cynthia Petersen, were appointed by
the federal justice minister.
Since the CJC was created in 1971, only two judges have been
recommended for removal. but both ultimately resigned before
Parliament, which has the final say, made its decision.
Seven days have been set aside for the hearing but it is not expected
to run its allotted time. On Tuesday, it starts at 2 p.m. MT. but will
begin at 9 a.m. MT otherwise.
Yea right tell me another one just like your former boss Landslide did.
Tuesday, November 28, 2006
OTTAWA — Anne McLellan has added her name to the list of former
Liberal cabinet ministers who say they were not fully briefed by the
RCMP on Maher Arar.
McLellan was appointed public safety minister in December 2003 and,
shortly thereafter, called a judicial inquiry into the case.
This fall, Justice Dennis O'Connor concluded the RCMP passed
inaccurate information to the United States on Arar that likely led to
his detention and torture in Syria.
On Tuesday, McLellan confirmed she was briefed on the "Arar situation"
by RCMP Commissioner Giuliano Zaccardelli and former CSIS director
Ward Elcock.
But she said she only learned that the RCMP had passed along false
information on Arar to the U.S. when the O'Connor report was released
in late September.
The RCMP described Arar to U.S. authorities as an Islamic extremist
suspected of ties to al-Qaida, even though he was never more than a
"person of interest" in an RCMP national-security investigation.
"In my presence, (neither) Commissioner Zaccardelli, nor anyone else,
either from the RCMP or CSIS, (ever) referred to Mr. Arar as an
Islamic extremist," McLellan told a Commons public safety committee
that has been probing the Arar affair.
"That was an expression that was never used in relation to Mr. Arar in
my presence. Ever."
McLellan's statements appear to contradict assertions by Zaccardelli
that he briefed the government about the mistakes by the RCMP.
In an appearance before the same committee in late September,
Zaccardelli said he informed former solicitor general Wayne Easter
about the errors. The solicitor general was the minister in charge of
the RCMP before the position was abolished last year.
But last month, Easter testified that he was never so informed.
"There is no situation where the RCMP came to me and basically said,
'We screwed up. We provided improper information,’” he said at the
time.
Earlier this month, Elcock of CSIS also testified he did not learn of
the RCMP's mislabeling of Arar until after the O'Connor report was
released.
On Tuesday, McLellan described an environment in which concern about
the Arar affair reached to the top of the political ladder.
She said that soon after former prime minister Paul Martin took office
in December 2003, he asked her to "get to the bottom of what had
happened to Mr. Arar."
Ottawa Citizen
That was what Landslide Annie had to say about the RCMP before Dion
was picked as leader of the liberals aweek or so ago. Ask me what I
sent Wayne Easter as Paul Martin was being crowned as Humpty Dumpty
three years ago. Clearly I sent something EH?

Lawyer for Pastor James Coates: “No evidence” Alberta health orders
serve public safety, says John Carpay
By Rebel News | March 05, 2021
Remove Ads
Pastor James Coates of GraceLife Church has been held in custody at
the Edmonton Remand Centre for nearly two weeks. This morning, after
finding out that the pastor's bail hearing was denied, Ezra Levant
invited lawyer John Carpay of the Justice Centre for Constitutional
Freedoms on to our Rebel News Daily livestream to discuss the case.
Make sure to watch the full video, but here's some of what John had to
say about the ongoing legal difficulties faced by an Alberta religious
leader arrested for refusing to shut down his church and turn
believers away:
“The silver lining on that cloud is that, because of the suffering
of Pastor Coates, the government's going to be forced to show the
public the science, the evidence [for lockdowns] for the first time
ever.
“Because all we've had in the last twelve months is fear-mongering
and speculation and assertions, and the government doesn't have the
evidence... they're going to have to scramble hard in the next two
months to come up with it.”
When asked about the type of charges laid against the pastor, John responded:
“My understanding is that Pastor Coates would not go to prison,
unless he was found in contempt of court. And if so, the Alberta
government sought a specific injunction against GraceLife Church in
Edmonton... and was successful -- if there was specific court
injunction against that church, and if Pastor Coates or other members
of that church... defied the injunction, they could be found to be in
contempt of court.
“...my understanding is that there's no jail time for that.”
Pastor James Coates of GraceLife Church will remain in prison until May.

Religion vs. State Day 2: should churches in B.C. really be closed?
By Drea Humphrey | March 05, 2021
Should churches really be closed in BC?
On Tuesday, I went back to the Vancouver courts to report on the
second day of a Supreme Court of British Columbia hearing, where Chief
Justice Christopher Hinkson is set to rule on a legal challenge that
was filed by the the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms. The
JCCF is challenging the B.C. government's restrictions against
peaceful protests and in-person worship services.
On day one of the hearing, there were many pastors and protesters
outside of the courthouse, speaking out about why in desperate times
like these, churches desperately need to be open. Zoom services just
don't cut it for everyone.
This got me wondering, what does the average Vancouverite feel about
Provincial Health Officer Dr. Bonnie Henry’s decision to ban in-person
worship services, while keeping nearly everything else open, including
pubs like St. James Well, which was recently linked to over 300
COVID-19 cases? Also, do they believe people should be able to
exercise their right to peacefully protest during life with COVID-19?
And if they do agree with most of the COVID-19 restrictions placed on
the people, exactly how long do they believe society should have to
follow such restrictions?
So many questions, and day two of this hearing was the perfect place
to ask them, across the street from the courthouse. Passerby couldn’t
help but look in the direction of the courthouse, as there were two
types of demonstrations occurring outside of it. While one was there
to gather for an outdoor church service in protest for freedom of
religion, the two groups shared a common cause over the right to
protest. That’s because the second group was gathering in protest
while inside, Stacy Gallagher, an Indigenous opponent of the Trans
Mountain pipeline, was sentenced to 90 days in prison after being
convicted of criminal contempt for her mobilization against the
pipeline.

MORE SUCCESS: Calgary street church pastor has mask bylaw tickets thrown out
By Sheila Gunn Reid | March 04, 2021
Today I have another FightTheFines.com victory to report, this one in
the ongoing saga of Calgary Street Church Pastor Artur Pawlowski.
Rebel News viewers may recognize Art as one of our very first
www.FightTheFines.com cases. He had been fined $1,200 for supposedly
breaching the lockdown. In reality, he was helping feed downtown
Calgary's homeless population, something Art does as part of his
ministry to those who need it the most.
We hired a lawyer to help Art, and police ended up dropping that
ridiculous fine. But then the lockdown returned, and so did the
systemic crackdown on Art's outreach to hungry and homeless. Art and
his brother were charged with organizing a protest, for violating
orders on outdoor gatherings — I guess that's what we call feeding the
hungry these days. They were also charged for not wearing a mask while
distributing food to the homeless, even though Art and his brother
were both outside, where you don't have to wear a mask.
Art's been a long time critic of Calgary Mayor Naheed Nenshi, and it
looked like city officials were taking out their petty grievances on
Art and using their new coronavirus ticket books to do it.
The top-notch lawyer we hired for Art who got those first fines thrown
out, SarahMiller, now has another win for Art: she was able to have
the mask violation fines tossed out. However, Sarah's work isn't even
close to done. Art isn't going to stop feeding the homeless, and it
appears the City of Calgary isn't going to stop ticketing him for
doing it. Because of this, the fines are piling up, and so is Sarah's
work to fight for her client.
If you'd like to help us secure more wins for Art and other Canadians
with coronavirus fines as we fight for civil liberties, one lockdown
ticket at a time, please donate today at www.FightTheFines.com.

Judge rules Edmonton pastor will remain in jail until his trial in May
By Terry Haig |
english@rcinet.ca
Posted: Friday, March 5, 2021 13:45
An Alberta pastor who has clashed for months with provincial health
authorities over COVID-19 restrictions will remain in jail until he
goes to trial in May because he refuses to follow a bail condition
that requires he comply with public health orders.
The pastor, James Coates of the GraceLife Church in Parkland County
west of Edmonton, has been in jail for over two weeks and was
appealing his bail conditions.
After hearing arguments yesterday from Coates’s lawyers, Court of
Queen’s Bench Justice Peter Michalyshyn dismissed the bail review this
morning.
Coates is charged with violating Alberta’s Public Health Act and with
breaking a promise to abide by conditions of his bail release, which
is a Criminal Code offence.

Coates was arrested for holding Sunday services in violation of
COVID-19 rules. (THE CANADIAN PRESS/Jason Franson)
His lawyer, James Kitchen, told the court Thursday that Coates can’t
follow a bail condition that forbids him from holding services because
that would violate his conscience by disobeying God.
“This is a matter of deep-seeded personal conscience and religious
beliefs for Pastor Coates,” Kitchen said.
“He is unable to disobey the God he believes in. He is compelled to
obey … as [are] his congregants.”
The prosecution argued that Coates’s release would be a danger to the public.
Outside the courthouse, dozens of Coates’s supporters gathered–many of
them not wearing face masks–and more than 350 attended the hearing via
the court’s web conferencing software.
Some failed to mute their microphones, leading to frequent disruptions.

appealed his bail conditions. (THE CANADIAN PRESS/Jason Franson)
Coates turned himself in to police on Feb. 16 and was charged with two
counts in contravention of the Public Health Act and charged for
failing to comply with a condition of his undertaking.
He refused release, saying he could not abide by the conditions.
Prior to his detention, his Sunday services were drawing up to 300
members, and in early February Coates was charged for a second time
for breaking the rules.
He was fined in December and Alberta Health Services ordered the
church to close in January, but Coates ignored the orders.
The church has continued to hold services, even though Coates is in custody.

Alberta court jails Pastor Coates through to May 3-5 trial
Mar 5th, 2021
EDMONTON: The Justice Centre is very disappointed to announce that
Justice Peter Michalyshyn of the Alberta Court of Queen’s Bench in
Edmonton has ruled that Pastor James Coates of Grace Life Church must
remain in jail for the next eight weeks pending his trial, unless he
agrees to abide by health orders that violate his Charter freedoms of
conscience, religion, expression, association and peaceful assembly.
Pastor Coates has been in custody at the Edmonton Remand Centre since
February 16, after he refused to sign a bail condition to comply with
provincial health orders that violate his Charter freedoms of
conscience, religion, expression, association and peaceful assembly.
The Justice Centre filed an appeal in the Alberta Court of Queen’s
Bench, to seek the release of Pastor Coates from jail prior to a trial
date set for May 3-5, 2021, in Alberta Provincial Court in Stony
Plain. The Justice Centre represents Pastor Coates and Grace Life
Church, a large church just west of Edmonton. Alberta Health Services
(AHS) ticketed Pastor Coates, taken Grace Life and Pastor Coates to
court, and even attempted to completely shut the Church down.
Background information on Pastor Coates’ ordeal is available here.
“A trial set eight weeks down the road was too long for an innocent
Pastor to be in jail. Pastor Coates is a peaceful Christian minister.
He should never have been required to violate his conscience and
effectively stop pastoring his church as a condition to be released.
In every way this was a violation of Pastor Coates’ Charter rights and
freedoms,” states lawyer John Carpay, president of the Justice Centre.
“Charter freedoms do not disappear because the government declares
regular church services to be outlawed while allowing hundreds of
people to fill their local Walmarts,” notes Carpay.

Alberta pastor charged with violating Public Health Act, still in
custody for refusing conditions: RCMP
Diego Romero
CTVNewsEdmonton.ca Digital Journalist
Published Wednesday, February 17, 2021 5:32PM MST
EDMONTON -- A pastor west of Edmonton remains in custody Wednesday
after he was charged with breaking Alberta's Public Health Act and
refusing to agree to the conditions of his release, RCMP said.
James Coates turned himself in to police on Tuesday, two days after a
service Alberta Health Services and RCMP attended where he "was not
complying with his Undertaking release conditions" issued a week
earlier, police said.
The pastor was charged with two counts of contravention of the Public
Health Act and failing to comply with a condition of his undertaking.

Alberta church opens on Sunday despite closure order over COVID-19
violations
Coates attended a bail hearing Tuesday and was to be released on
conditions, but was kept in custody overnight "after refusing to agree
to those conditions," RCMP said.
Those conditions, his lawyer told CTV News, include stopping church
services, but "Coates could not, in good conscience, agree to that
condition."
The pastor made a court appearance on Wednesday and was given a second
court appearance for next Wednesday after he continued to refuse to
agree to the conditions, Mounties added.
“We’ve been consistent in our approach of escalated levels of
enforcement with Pastor Coates, and we were hopeful to resolve this
issue in a different manner,” said RCMP Insp. Mike Lokken. “The
Pastor’s actions, and the subsequent effects those actions could have
on the health and safety of citizens, dictated our response in this
situation.”
On Tuesday, Coates' lawyer told CTV News his client was willing to go
to jail in order to do the "right thing."
"His first obedience is to his Lord, is to his God. And normally,
obeying Jesus and obeying the government go right in hand," James
Kitchen said. "The government's forcing him in to a position where he
has to choose between disobeying God and obeying government, or
obeying God and disobeying government."
GraceLife was first cited for hosting more than 15 per cent of its
capacity at a December service and the pastor was fined $1,200.
A Court of Queen's Bench order was issued in January when it continued
to break COVID-19 restrictions.
GraceLife has held services for three consecutive weeks after it was
ordered to close at the end of January.
The church was not in compliance with the Public Health Act last
Sunday, RCMP said Wednesday.
A day earlier in a statement, GraceLife said: "We do not see our
actions as perpetuating the longevity of COVID-19 or any other virus
that will inevitably come along. If anything, we see our actions as
contributing to its end – the end of destructive lockdowns and the end
of the attempt to institutionalize the debilitating fear of viral
infections. Our local church is clear evidence that governmental
lockdowns are unnecessary. In fact, it is also evidence of how harmful
they are."
Criminal lawyer Tom Engel says the RCMP should shut down the church
and charge everyone in attendance.
"Every person who is in that church knows that they are breaking the
law," he said.
'UNCOMMONLY GOOD' RELATIONSHIP WITH RCMP: KITCHEN
Coates' lawyer told CTV News GraceLife has an "uncommonly good"
relationship with the RCMP because "the police have acted, in this
case, very differently than how they have acted with a lot of other
people."
Complicating Kitchen's claim is the fact that a retired Mountie, Paul
Claassen, is GraceLife's chair.
"It leads to the impression that there's a double standard, there's a
bias in favour of this church," Engel said.
But in a statement, Insp. Lokken said: "Our response to the non
compliance of the Church has been consistent with our overall RCMP
strategy in the Province which is; education, an opportunity for
compliance, and lastly, enforcement. Parkland RCMP has managed the
investigation into the GraceLife Church with absolutely no influence
from any member of their administration or congregation, regardless of
any past or present affiliation with our organization.
"The RCMP has conducted all their interactions with the Church in an
impartial, professional, and respectful manner.”

RE: Rampant Public Corruption
Hey,
Pursuant to my recent phone calls to Norman Sabourin and various
underlings of Shirley Heafey within the Commission for Public
Complaints against the RCMP over the years plus my many faxes and
emails please find enclosed exactly the same material received by
every Attorney General in Canada over the past year. The CD which is a
copy of a police surveillance wiretap tape # 139 is served upon you as
officers of the court in order that it may be properly investigated.
As you can see I have enclosed a copy of a letter sent to the latest
Attorney General Mr. Wally Opal in BC. Perhaps he should take a little
trip to Surrey and ask your office some hard questions. Perhaps the
ghost of my fellow Independent politician, Chuck Cadman may wish to
answer few questions now as well. Hard telling not knowing.
I will not bother you with the details of what I am sending to
you byway of the certified US Mail because I will be serving identical
material to many other Canadian Authorities in hand and tell them I
gave this stuff to you first and enclose a copy of this letter. All
that is important to me right now is that I secure proof that this
mail was sent before I make my way back home to the Maritimes. However
I will say I am also enclosing a great deal more material than what
Allan Rock had received in the UN. Some of it is in fact the same
material the two maritime lawyers, Rob Moore and Franky Boy McKenna in
particular received, while I was up home running for Parliament last
year. Things have changed greatly in the past year so I have also
included a few recent items to spice thing up for you. I am tired of
trying to convince people employed in law enforcement to uphold the
law. So all I will say for now is deal will your own conscience and be
careful how you respond to this letter. If you do not respond. Rest
assured I will do my best to sue you some day. Ignorance is no excuse
to the law or me.

Robin Camp case: What does it take to remove a judge from the bench?
Only two federally appointed judges recommended for dismissal since 1971
By Nicole Ireland, CBC News Posted: Nov 12, 2015 5:00 AM ET
The case of a judge who asked a woman, "Why couldn't you just keep
your knees together?" during an Alberta sexual assault trial is
raising questions about what kind of behaviour warrants removing a
justice from the bench.
Judge under review for berating sex assault complainant
Read the complaint against Justice Robin Camp
Only two judges have been recommended for removal by the Canadian
Judicial Council — a group of federally appointed judges tasked with
investigating complaints about their peers — since it was created in
1971.
Trevor Farrow
Trevor Farrow, associate dean at Osgoode Hall Law School in Toronto,
says it's 'a good thing' that judges don't lightly recommend
dismissing their peers. (Osgoode Hall Law School)
In both cases, the judges resigned before the recommendations made it
to Parliament, which ultimately decides whether or not to dismiss a
Canadian judge.
On Monday, the judicial council announced it was reviewing the conduct
of Robin Camp while he was an Alberta provincial court judge in 2014,
when he presided over a case involving a 19-year-old woman who alleged
she was sexually assaulted by a Calgary man during a house party.
According to the complaint that prompted the review, in addition to
the "keep your knees together" comment, Camp asked during the trial,
"Why didn't you just sink your bottom down into the basin so he
couldn't penetrate you?" (The woman alleged she was sexually assaulted
over a sink).
"At numerous points during the proceeding, Justice Camp was dismissive
of, if not contemptuous towards, the substantive law of sexual assault
and the rules of evidence," the complaint said. "In particular, he
showed disregard, if not disdain, for the rape shield provisions under
the Criminal Code, the legal definition of consent to sexual touching,
and the Criminal Code provision and case law regarding the doctrine of
recent complaint.
"His articulated disrespect for these legal rules was, in some
instances, combined with a refusal to apply them."
The Canadian Judicial Council must decide whether the complaint
against Camp, now a Federal Court judge, has merit and, if so, whether
it warrants the establishment of a review panel that could call a
public inquiry.
In the last four decades, the judicial council has ordered public
inquiries for 11 complaints against judges. Two of those inquiries are
still ongoing. In some cases, the judge resigned before the inquiry
was complete. For example, the late Judge Robert Flahiff was convicted
in 1999 for laundering money for a drug dealer back in the 1980s,
before he became a judge. He resigned before the judicial council
finished its inquiry.
Former Quebec judge convicted of money laundering dies
Convicted Quebec judge resigns
In other cases, the council recommended that the judges involved not
be removed from the bench — even if there had been inappropriate
conduct.
"It's not a fait accompli that if you have engaged in some kind of
misconduct you should be removed from office," said Norman Sabourin,
the Canadian Judicial Council's executive director, in an interview
with CBC News on Tuesday. "Assessing the gravity of a misconduct is a
difficult exercise."

Canadian Judicial Council exec on review of judge's behaviour7:06
The overarching question in making that determination, the council
said, is whether the judge has the required confidence of the public
to continue to preside in court.
So when has the council recommended that a judge be removed? Here are
the two cases in which that happened. The details come from documents
available on the Canadian Judicial Council's website:
Paul Cosgrove, Ontario Superior Court
On April 22, 2004, Ontario's attorney general at the time, Michael
Bryant, asked the council to consider whether Judge Paul Cosgrove
should be removed from office based on his conduct in the murder trial
of Julia Yvonne Elliott.
The attorney general said Cosgrove had ordered an "unwarranted stay"
of proceedings.
Ontario judge resigns over misconduct
"The proceedings tarnished the administration of justice and turned
into an exercise of vilifying the state built on irrelevant,
inappropriate and harmful findings," Bryant wrote. "The proceedings
trivialized the charter and deprived society and the victim's family
of any semblance of justice."
The attorney general's complaint alleged that Cosgrove had
demonstrated similar behaviour in other court cases, citing Court of
Appeal findings that the judge had "reduced the proceedings to a
'procedural nightmare' for the Crown" and shown a "suspicious attitude
toward the government that caused him to misapprehend some of the
evidence before him."
On March 30, 2009, after a public inquiry, the Canadian Judicial
Council recommended that Cosgrove be removed from office. The judge
resigned the following month.
Jean Bienvenue, Superior Court of Quebec
In December 1995, the then attorneys general of Quebec and Canada,
Paul Bégin and Allan Rock, asked the Canadian Judicial Council for a
public inquiry into the conduct of Judge Jean Bienvenue during the
trial of Tracy Théberge, who was convicted of second-degree murder in
death of her husband.
According to the inquiry report, Bienvenue made offensive comments
about Jewish victims of the Holocaust and about women while sentencing
the accused.
"It is said that when women ascend the scale of virtues, they reach
higher than men, and I have always believed this. And it is also said,
and this too I believe, that when they decide to degrade themselves,
they sink to depths to which even the vilest man could not sink,"
Bienvenue said.
The judge also said: "At the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp in
Poland, which I once visited horror-stricken, even the Nazis did not
eliminate millions of Jews in a painful or bloody manner. They died in
the gas chambers, without suffering."
During the inquiry, Bienvenue argued that he had not meant to be
offensive and that he had met with the Canadian Jewish Congress. He
also issued a statement apologizing to women offended by his remarks.
On June 25, 1996, four out of five members of the Canadian Judicial
Council committee recommended that Bienvenue be removed from office.
They wrote, "We believe that if Mr. Justice Bienvenue were to preside
over a case, a reasonable and informed person... would have a
reasonable apprehension that the judge would not execute his office
with the objectivity, impartiality and independence that the public is
entitled to expect from a judge."
Bienvenue resigned before the recommendation went to Parliament.
What does the low number of removals mean?
The rarity of judges removing their peers from the bench is a
reflection of the value Canada places on an independent judiciary,
said Trevor Farrow, a professor and associate dean at Osgoode Hall Law
School in Toronto.
"Judges don't recommend removal lightly," he said. "That's a good
thing when you're balancing the requirement that judges have the
courage and independence to make tough choices in often really
challenging circumstances that involve vulnerable people."
At the same time, Farrow said, it's important that the Canadian
Judicial Council has "the power to recommend sanctions, including
removal if warranted, to maintain the public's trust and confidence."

Federal Court judge Robin Camp faces inquiry over sexual assault trial conduct
7-day public hearing will determine if judge who referred to rape
victim as 'the accused' can remain on bench
By Meghan Grant, CBC News Posted: Aug 31, 2016 6:15 PM MT
An inquiry begins Tuesday afternoon for a judge, formerly with Alberta
provincial court, who is facing dismissal from the Federal Court over
controversial comments directed at a sexual assault complainant in
2014.
Judge Robin Camp's 'insensitive, rude' comments not grounds for
dismissal: lawyer
The public hearing takes place before a panel of five — three superior
court judges and two senior lawyers — over the next week-and-a-half at
the Westin Hotel in downtown Calgary.
"These are public hearings, they're open and they're transparent,"
said Johanna Laporte with the Canadian Judicial Council (CJC).
"The council recognizes that public confidence in the justice system
can only be enhanced by these open proceedings and it's the council's
mandate to ensure that serious matters involving judges are thoroughly
investigated."
Robin Camp, who berated sex assault complainant, says counselling
will make him a better judge
Inquiry into Judge Robin Camp to hear from advocates for sex assault victims
Alberta Attorney General Kathleen Ganley forced the inquiry in January
after a complaint made by two law professors at the University of
Calgary and Dalhousie University.
After opening remarks by presenting counsel and Camp's lawyer,
intervenors — women's groups and sexual assault centres — will make
submissions and finally, the panel will hear from Camp himself, who
has previously indicated he plans to apologize.
Panel members will then deliberate before releasing a decision —
likely in written form — on whether or not Camp should remain on the
bench at the Federal Court.
"The inquiry is squarely tasked with determining if the facts
surrounding the complaint are serious enough to warrant the judge's
removal," said Laporte.
'Why didn't you just sink your bottom down'
During the 2014 trial, Camp asked the complainant "why couldn't you
just keep your knees together" during her testimony in his role as an
Alberta Provincial Court judge.
The then 19-year-old woman alleged she was raped by Alexander Scott
Wagar over a bathroom sink at a Calgary house party. Throughout the
trial, Camp repeatedly referred to her as "the accused."
"Why didn't you just sink your bottom down into the basin so he
couldn't penetrate you?" Camp asked the woman.
"That kind of comment goes back to the dinosaur age as far as I'm
concerned," said Danielle Aubry with Calgary Communities Against
Sexual Abuse.
Camp acquitted Wagar, but the Alberta Court of Appeal overturned the
ruling and ordered a new trial. By that time, Camp had been elevated
to the Federal Court.
"When you become a judge ... that's a privilege, it's a very high
position," said Aubry.
"It's incredulous to me that there are people sitting on the bench
that are not educating themselves about issues like sexual violence."
In ordering a new trial, the Court of Appeal wrote that the judge's
comments raised doubts about his understanding of sexual assault laws.
The Canadian Judicial Council received the initial complaint from four
law professors at Dalhousie University and the University of Calgary.
After that, dozens more flooded in.
Gender and sensitivity training
In his notice of response posted to the CJC website, Camp indicated
that he agrees his comments were "insensitive and inappropriate," but
says he has undergone gender and sensitivity training.
Camp arranged and paid for his sensitivity training himself, during
which he worked with a Superior Court judge, a psychologist and an
expert on the law of sexual assault.
He has indicated that he wishes to remain a judge.
The council members include Justice Austin Cullen, who will act as
chairperson, Justice Deborah Smith and Justice Raymond Whalen. The two
senior lawyers, Karen Jensen and Cynthia Petersen, were appointed by
the federal justice minister.
Since the CJC was created in 1971, only two judges have been
recommended for removal. but both ultimately resigned before
Parliament, which has the final say, made its decision.
Seven days have been set aside for the hearing but it is not expected

Tuesday, November 28, 2006
OTTAWA — Anne McLellan has added her name to the list of former
Liberal cabinet ministers who say they were not fully briefed by the
RCMP on Maher Arar.
McLellan was appointed public safety minister in December 2003 and,
shortly thereafter, called a judicial inquiry into the case.
This fall, Justice Dennis O'Connor concluded the RCMP passed
inaccurate information to the United States on Arar that likely led to
his detention and torture in Syria.
On Tuesday, McLellan confirmed she was briefed on the "Arar situation"
by RCMP Commissioner Giuliano Zaccardelli and former CSIS director
Ward Elcock.
But she said she only learned that the RCMP had passed along false
information on Arar to the U.S. when the O'Connor report was released
in late September.
The RCMP described Arar to U.S. authorities as an Islamic extremist
suspected of ties to al-Qaida, even though he was never more than a
"person of interest" in an RCMP national-security investigation.
"In my presence, (neither) Commissioner Zaccardelli, nor anyone else,
either from the RCMP or CSIS, (ever) referred to Mr. Arar as an
Islamic extremist," McLellan told a Commons public safety committee
that has been probing the Arar affair.
"That was an expression that was never used in relation to Mr. Arar in
my presence. Ever."
McLellan's statements appear to contradict assertions by Zaccardelli
that he briefed the government about the mistakes by the RCMP.
In an appearance before the same committee in late September,
Zaccardelli said he informed former solicitor general Wayne Easter
about the errors. The solicitor general was the minister in charge of
the RCMP before the position was abolished last year.
But last month, Easter testified that he was never so informed.
"There is no situation where the RCMP came to me and basically said,
'We screwed up. We provided improper information,’” he said at the
time.
Earlier this month, Elcock of CSIS also testified he did not learn of
the RCMP's mislabeling of Arar until after the O'Connor report was
released.
On Tuesday, McLellan described an environment in which concern about
the Arar affair reached to the top of the political ladder.
She said that soon after former prime minister Paul Martin took office
in December 2003, he asked her to "get to the bottom of what had
happened to Mr. Arar."
Ottawa Citizen
That was what Landslide Annie had to say about the RCMP before Dion
was picked as leader of the liberals aweek or so ago. Ask me what I
sent Wayne Easter as Paul Martin was being crowned as Humpty Dumpty
three years ago. Clearly I sent something EH?

Mr. David R. Amos

U.S.A.
Dear Mr. Amos
Thank you for your letter of November 19th, 2003, addressed to my
predecessor, the Honourble Wayne Easter, regarding your safety. I
apologize for the delay in responding.
If you have any concerns about your personal safety, I can only
suggest that you contact the police of local jurisdiction. In
addition, any evidence of criminal activity should be brought to their
attention since the police are in the best position to evaluate the
information and take action as deemed appropriate.
I trust that this information is satisfactory.
Yours sincerely
A. Anne McLellan

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.
Cutline – David Amos, independent candidate in Fundy, with some of his
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.’"

>>>
>>> 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

>>> 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
>>>>> 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

>>> [11] On April 3, 2017, Mr. Amos attempted to bring a motion
>>> before the Federal Court seeking an order “affirming or denying the

>>> 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

>>> [13] The nature of the alleged conflict of Justice Webb is

>>> Board, …[[1978] 1 S.C.R. 369, 68 D.L.R. (3d) 716], at p. 394, is the

> thought
>>> the matter through -- conclude. Would he think that it is more likely

>>> 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

>>> [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 th>> 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

>>> 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

>>> unless there is good reason to doubt it: see Locabail, at para. 19.
>>>
>>>
>>> 30 That brings me then to consider the particular

>>> time. As was said in Wewaykum, at para. 85:
>>> To us, one significant factor stands out, and must inform

>>> 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 ca>> 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

>>> 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

>>>
>>> [20] Similarly in R. v. Bagot, 2000 MBCA 30, 145 Man. R.

>>>
>>> [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

>>>
>>> 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 int>> 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 R>> 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

>Preview YouTube video Arrests, tickets and no answers: Toronto police continue crackdown on anti-lockdown protestsPreview YouTube video MORE SUCCESS: Calgary street church pastor has mask bylaw tickets thrown out
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.
Cutline – David Amos, independent candidate in Fundy, with some of his
favourite possessions—motorcycles.
McKnight/KCR
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.’"

>>>
>>> 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
>>>>> 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

>>> fédérale, est maintenue et dénommée « Cour d’appel fédérale » en
>>> français et « Federal Court of Appeal » en anglais. Elle est

>>> 4 La section de la Cour fédérale du Canada, appelée la Section de

>>> Cour fédérale » en français et « Federal Court » en anglais. Elle est
>>> maintenue à titre de tribunal additionnel de droit, d’equity et

>>>
>>>
>>> [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

>>> 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

>>> 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

>>> 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 th>> 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

>>> To us, one significant factor stands out, and must inform

>>> the passage of time. Most arguments for disqualification rest on

>>> or that occurred within a short time prior to the decision-making.
>>> 31 There are other factors that inform the issue. The Wilson

>>> his former firm for a considerable period of time.
>>>
>>>
>>> 32 In my view, a reasonable person, viewing the matter

>>>
>>> [20] Similarly in R. v. Bagot, 2000 MBCA 30, 145 Man. R.

>>>
>>> [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

>>> 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

>>> 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

>>>
>>> [23] As a result, there is no conflict or reasonable
>>> apprehension of bias for Justice Webb and therefore, no reason for

>>>
>>> [24] Mr. Amos alleged that Justice Near’s past professional

>>> the cross-appeal. Mr. Amos provided no details and Justice Near
>>> confirmed that he had no prior knowledge of the matters alleged in

>>> 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 th>> both
>>> Justice Gleason and Mr. Mulroney were partners in the law firm
>>> Ogilvy Renault, LLP. The letter in question, which is rude and angry,

>>> you and your little dogs too”. There is no indication that the letter

>>> 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

>>>
>>>
>>> B. Did the Judge err in interfering with the

>>>
>>> [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

>>> in and around the legislature in New Brunswick. The jurisdiction of

> 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

>>> A generous reading of the Statement of Claim allows the Defendant to
>>> only speculate as to the true and/or int>> 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

>>> 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;

>>>
>>> c) There must be an element of bad faith or dishonesty by the public

> 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 R>> 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

TOO TOO FUNNY INDEEDJudge throws out charges against pair accused of harassing N.S. chief medical officer
Judge rules it took too long to bring Diagolon founder Jeremy MacKenzie and Morgan Guptill to trial

A Nova Scotia judge has thrown out charges against two people accused of harassing the province's chief medical officer of health during a protest against COVID restrictions outside his home, ruling their rights were violated because it's taken too long to bring them to trial.
Jeremy MacKenzie, a 38-year-old podcaster and founder of the controversial group Diagolon, and his partner, Morgan Guptill, 34, were charged in 2022 with criminal harassment, mischief, making harassing phone calls and intimidation of a health professional.
The pair were scheduled to go on trial next week in Dartmouth, N.S. But on Wednesday, provincial court Judge Jill Hartlen ruled the time between arrest and trial violates the 18-month ceiling set by the Supreme Court of Canada, even after taking into account delays caused by the defence.
MacKenzie is known for creating Diagolon, a group Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has called white nationalist. MacKenzie has denied allegations of extremism and violence, and has maintained Diagolon is simply a loose-knit community of fans of his podcast.
While he has faced other charges in a number of provinces, all of those have been withdrawn or resolved, including those related to firearms allegedly found during a January 2022 search of his parents' home in Pictou, N.S.
The province's chief medical officer of health, Dr. Robert Strang, speaks at a news conference in 2021. (Communications Nova Scotia)
The charges dealt with Wednesday relate to a three-day protest in March 2022 against COVID-19 restrictions outside the Fall River, N.S., house of Chief Medical Officer of Health Dr. Robert Strang.
MacKenzie and Guptill have alleged their rights were violated in a number of ways after they were taken into custody, and have claimed the decision to arrest and charge them was politically motivated and influenced by the office of Premier Tim Houston.
Hartlen shot down that assertion last month, ruling there was no evidence police acted to "improperly stifle political activity." She has sided with the defendants in some other respects, however, including over MacKenzie's right to a lawyer of his choice following his arrest.
But the issue that led Hartlen to declare a stay of proceedings, which ends the prosecution, was the math surrounding delays in bringing the case to trial, which was to take place nearly 27 months after the arrests. After subtracting defence delays, she calculated the time to trial still breached the crucial Supreme Court deadline by one month.
One particular issue, she said, was a decision not to hold the trial alongside a series of Charter hearings earlier this year, which would have allowed the trial to wrap up in early May and within the 18-month threshold.
She noted MacKenzie's lawyer, Sherif Foda, had warned last year he would seek to have the charges stayed if a "blended" approach was not taken and it led to trial delays.
Hartlen said the prosecution had wanted to separate the two, but it was her decision to do so, and she acknowledged the way she approached it was "less than ideal."
Protest details
MacKenzie and Guptill declined to comment outside the court. Prosecutor Emma Woodburn said in an email that the ruling was not the outcome the Crown had hoped for, but it respects the decision of the judge, who provided "thorough reasons."
In a statement, Strang said he respected the decision of the judge and understands the reasons for it, but added the stay of proceedings "in no way condones the actions taken by the protesters."
At the time of the protest outside Strang's home, many restrictions related to COVID-19 had been lifted, but a number remained, including the requirement to wear face masks in schools.
The court previously heard that Strang's daughter had a panic attack, and his wife had to escort care workers for their autistic son away from the home because they were too intimidated to leave on their own.
The phone rang constantly one night, after Guptill used social media to urge people to call the Strang home, Hartlen said in a previous ruling, and protesters were livestreaming video of the home, zooming in with their phones to view the interior.

Judge rules arrest of Diagolon founder on COVID-19 protest charges not politically motivated

Jeremy MacKenzie, right, and Morgan Guptill are shown on Tuesday, April 30, 2024, outside a provincial courtroom in Dartmouth, N.S. (Richard Cuthbertson/CBC)A Nova Scotia judge has ruled the 2022 arrest of the founder of an anti-government group who protested COVID-19 restrictions outside the home of the province's chief medical officer of health was not politically motivated.
Judge Jill Hartlen of the Nova Scotia provincial court made the decision last week in the case of prolific podcaster Jeremy MacKenzie, 38, and his partner, Morgan Guptill, 33, who are arguing harassment and mischief-related charges against them should be tossed due to alleged violations of their rights.
The hearing comes as the controversial group founded by MacKenzie, Diagolon, has been the source of heated exchanges in Ottawa, with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau accusing Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre of courting followers during a visit last week to an anti-carbon tax convoy camp near the Nova Scotia-New Brunswick border.
Trudeau has called Diagolon violent and "white nationalist," the RCMP have described it as a militia-like network that believes the collapse of Western governments should be hastened, and Poilievre in 2022 denounced the group as "dirtbags."
MacKenzie has denied the allegations of extremism and violence, and has maintained Diagolon is simply a loose-knit community of fans of his podcast.

MacKenzie and Guptill are charged with criminal harassment, mischief, making harassing phone calls and intimidation of a health professional in relation to a small, three-day protest in March 2022 outside the Fall River, N.S., house of Chief Medical Officer of Health Dr. Robert Strang.
MacKenzie's lawyer, Sherif Foda, has claimed the decision to charge the pair was politically motivated, with interference from the office of Premier Tim Houston, and that police "bowed to political pressure," according to Hartlen's decision.
In particular, the defence focused on the role of Ian Burke, a security officer with the Nova Scotia government who called police over the protest outside Strang's home, and who the judge said "advocated strongly" for RCMP involvement and acted as a go-between with police and Strang.
No 'pull or influence'
But in her decision, Hartlen said there is no evidence the officer in charge of the investigation, Det. Const. Todd Streatch, was ordered to investigate in a certain fashion or give preferential treatment, or felt pressured to lay charges or arrest certain people.
There is also no evidence he spoke to Burke or the premier's office before he decided to lay charges, the judge said, and the evidence shows he did not arrest MacKenzie and Guptill to "improperly stifle political activity."
"The evidence demonstrates that Ian Burke did not have the pull or influence that the applicants wish to portray," Hartlen said.
Not only that, she said Streatch "consistently maintained" that Diagolon and his belief that MacKenzie, who is a Canadian Forces veteran, suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder were not factors in his decision to charge the pair.
There is also no evidence, the judge said, that Burke or the premier's office interfered in the Crown's decision on the release conditions for MacKenzie and Guptill when agreeing to their bail three days after their arrest.
'Not the crime of the century'
In Dartmouth provincial court this week, MacKenzie's lawyer urged the judge to stay proceedings, which would end the prosecution of the case, due to Charter breaches related to the detention of MacKenzie's phone, and alleged breaches related to his access to a lawyer after his arrest and the length of time it has taken for the case to come to trial.
The prosecution is opposed to the stay, and the judge has yet to rule on the application. MacKenzie and Guptill, who is representing herself, are scheduled to go on trial in June.
Foda said in court his client and Guptill "embrace" the chance to go to trial if they fail in their bid to have their cases stayed. He said no one was physical hurt during the protest.
"It's not the crime of the century," he said.
Nova Scotia had lifted many COVID-19 restrictions in the days before the protest outside Strang's home, but a number remained, including the requirement to wear face masks in schools.
Protest details
In her ruling last week, Hartlen said Strang and neighbours saw MacKenzie pacing back and forth in front of the house for hours, making aggressive comments and ranting. Protesters were using the zoom function on their phones to stream over the internet the inside of the house.
At one point, Strang's daughter had a panic attack, the judge said, and his wife had to escort care workers for their autistic son away from the home because they were too intimidated to leave on their own.
Guptill used a livestream on social media to urge people to call the Strang home, and the phone rang throughout the night, causing "distress" to the family, Hartlen said.
MacKenzie has faced charges, many of them firearms-related, in a number of provinces, but all except the current case have been withdrawn or resolved.
In March, firearms-related charges related to a January 2022 search of his parents' home in Pictou, N.S., were resolved, according to the Nova Scotia Public Prosecution Service.
A spokesperson said a peace bond in the case prohibits MacKenzie from possessing weapons for 24 months, and he was required to forfeit any weapons or ammunition.

9 views for an episode that you have deemed as crucial WOW For what it is worth I agree However wish you were ethicalDiagolon founder Jeremy Mackenzie’s final charges have been stayed
June 8, 2024Source: YouTubeControversial podcaster Jeremy Mackenzie is free and clear after the final outstanding charges against him were stayed.
Charges against Mackenzie, a 14-year military veteran who served in Afghanistan, and his girlfriend Morgan Guptill, were stayed by a Nova Scotia judge who found that the 19 months between being charged and the end of the trial was an unreasonable length of time.These were the last remaining criminal charges against Mackenzie after charges in Quebec and Saskatchewan and others in Nova Scotia were similarly stayed or dropped.
In the latest one, Mackenzie and Gultipp were charged with criminal harassment of Nova Scotia chief medical officer Dr. Robert Strang. They were arrested on the third day of protesting on a public street near his residence.Each of the 23 charges thrown at Mackenzie across three separate provinces has been dropped, stayed, or resolved, including a series of firearms charges in Saskatchewan.
“In a way we’re relieved and just thankful to have that real estate in our heads back. This is just another problem we don’t have to deal with anymore. But this never should have happened in the first place. And it’s just a travesty of justice and our resources,” Mackenzie said.
Mackenzie created an online community called Diagolon, which he describes as a fictitious meme country represented by a black flag with a diagonal white line. In an interview, he told True North that although he is “relieved” the criminal cases are behind him, he was disappointed that he didn’t get a chance to defend himself in front of the public and a jury.Mackenzie, who testified before the Public Order Emergency Commission remotely from jail in 2022, said the way that he and his girlfriend have been treated by the justice system has been disproportionate to what “real criminals” face.
Mackenzie said that on top of having his bail denied, he was placed in solitary confinement multiple times. He also said he faced physical attacks because of the media’s and the Liberal government’s characterization of him.Mackenzie and Diagolon were singled out by the Liberal government during the Freedom Convoy as a national security risk, a position partially relied on to justify the use of the Emergencies Act.
An investigative report by lawyer Caryma Sa’d, who has represented Mackenzie, alleged that the government knew that Diagolon was not violent or even a traditionally definable group.
“We have criminals running around this country doing whatever they want,” he said. “In the time that it took to have this case in Nova Scotia finally thrown out, four cases of pedophiles and people luring children were tossed out because they ran out of time to prosecute.”Despite being free of criminal charges, Mackenzie still maintains that he was targeted for his political views.
“It lends more weight, not less, to the idea that people in this country who are political dissidents and unhappy with the way our rulers are conducting business are targeted by the state and punished for dissenting,” he said, “It doesn’t paint a good picture of our legal system and doesn’t do anything to dispel that.”
Mackenzie also took aim at the relative media silence about his charges being stayed.
“A lot of things were said. Media had printed a lot of out of context things and headlines. They really went to town to slander my reputation,” Mackenzie said. “Now that it’s all over, they have nothing to say. And there’s no one here to apologize and say ‘We jumped to conclusions and painted you as this person without getting the facts.’ None of them showed up.”The RCMP launched an investigation into Mackenzie at the request of Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre over comments Mackenzie made on a podcast threatening to rape Poilievre’s wife, Anaida. Mackenzie said the distasteful comments were made as a joke. The RCMP never laid charges.
