Does his job give MP Andy Fillmore a leg up in Halifax mayoral race?
Andy Fillmore keeps federal Halifax seat while campaigning for mayor, gathering donations
When Halifax MP Andy Fillmore got up in the House of Commons last month to announce he was leaving federal politics, his resignation sounded "imminent" to Tom Urbaniak.
Urbaniak, a professor of political science at Cape Breton University, watched Fillmore talk at length on June 17 about what he'd achieved in his past nine years in Ottawa. Fillmore mentioned his work to reopen Georges Island to the public, and partnering with Halifax to stop infilling on the Northwest Arm.
Fillmore said the city's rapid growth has brought benefits and challenges, adding his sights were set "firmly on the future."
"He gave what was practically a campaign speech for the mayoralty of Halifax," Urbaniak said in a recent interview.
"I thought that his resignation as member of Parliament was imminent. That speech sounded very final."

A few weeks later, on July 2, Fillmore registered with Halifax Regional Municipality to run for mayor. He launched his campaign in front of a large crowd the next day.
But Fillmore has not yet resigned his seat. He continues to take a federal salary and work out of his riding office while also campaigning for mayor, and is eligible to collect donations for that race.
"What MP Fillmore has done is not illegal and is not in violation of a written code of conduct. But the optics aren't great," Urbaniak said.
He said because Fillmore signalled his federal career was over with that speech in Ottawa, it's now a legitimate question to ask what MP work Fillmore continues to do — other than showing up for federal funding announcements, "which could be perceived as actually feeding a municipal campaign" on the taxpayers' dime.
Fillmore delivered one of those funding announcements on behalf of the federal government at the Maritime Digital Art and Design studios on July 4.

He has also attended a number of community events outside his Halifax riding in recent weeks, including a South Indian festival in Dartmouth and one at an Eastern Shore museum, and has posted photos of himself knocking on doors in Sheet Harbour.
This week, Fillmore wrote as MP to Halifax's CAO Cathie O'Toole to echo the concern from south-end residents on Coburg Road about upcoming construction to build a multi-purpose lane for pedestrians and cyclists, which would require removing some street parking near a private school and the Waegwoltic Club.
City infrastructure not just municipal issue: Fillmore
In a statement sent from his MP office, Fillmore told CBC News that residents "brought their concerns" to his attention and "noted their frustration that their elected municipal representative refused to meet with them to discuss the matter."
"It is also important to note that infrastructure projects in the municipality that are cost-shared with the federal government are not solely a municipal issue," the statement added.
Although the province's Municipal Elections Act states no member of the legislature or House of Commons can be nominated or serve in municipal office, Fillmore is technically not yet a nominee.
He's said he will resign as MP before the municipal nomination period beginning Aug. 29. After Sept. 10, nominees are considered official candidates who will have their names placed on the ballot.
However, under Halifax's campaign finance rules, people who register any time after March 1 as unofficial candidates can start collecting and spending money.
Municipal election day in Nova Scotia is Oct. 19.

Fillmore declined an interview request, but told CBC News in an email "the rules are clear" and he will resign as MP by Aug. 29.
"I will continue to fulfill all my duties as MP until I am confirmed by the municipal returning officer as an official candidate for mayor," he wrote.
Some provinces, like Manitoba, make it illegal for a sitting MP, senator or MLA to run for municipal office. They would have to resign before any registration.
Ontario now has similar rules to Nova Scotia, but used to fall into the same camp as Manitoba. Back in 2000, Independent Ontario MP John Nunziata went to court over his fight to enter the Toronto mayoral race while keeping his federal seat, after the city rejected his nomination.
Urbaniak said the intent behind the rules has always been to separate federal and provincial politics from municipal campaigns.
The other high-profile candidates running against Fillmore, sitting councillors Waye Mason and Pam Lovelace, said they are at a disadvantage when campaigning against a sitting MP.

They noted Fillmore has access to paid government staff and his own office, as well as the red machine of the Liberal party and the connections that come with that. Halifax councillors can't use any city hall spaces, or their HRM-issued phones or computers, for campaigning.
Lovelace said she wouldn't "pretend" she could do one job effectively while striving to do another with a different set of responsibilities.
"I think ethically and morally that's wrong," she said.

In some ways it's hard to split hairs about what's campaigning and what's the job as political representatives for all three candidates, Urbaniak noted, because going to community celebrations this summer could easily be both.
Urbaniak said it's just as fair to question Mason and Lovelace as it is Fillmore, about where their focus is this summer between their current jobs and campaigning.
In some jurisdictions, he said councillors have resigned their seats to run. Recently Carolyn Parrish stepped down from her role as Mississauga councillor to run for mayor of the city, a race she won in June.
Mason said he's making sure to prioritize his district, and work on the committees and boards of which he's a member, while then turning to campaign mode on the weekends.
Lovelace had a larger view of her responsibilities, and said her focus this summer is on the entire Halifax region as well as her own riding.
When asked if the Municipal Elections Act should be changed, a spokesperson for the Department of Municipal Affairs told CBC News in an email the current law "upholds the principle that representation is paramount."
Besides Mason, Lovelace and Fillmore, six political newcomers are running for mayor as of Tuesday: Clay Bowser, Nolan Greenough, Ryan Dodge, Zoran Jokic, Andrew Goodsell and Blake Roache.

To: David Amos <David.Raymond.Amos333@gmail.
David,
I’ve got some breaking news to share with all our trusted subscribers —
we found Trudeau and grilled him for over 10 minutes on a beach in
Tofino!
It wasn’t easy. We had to take a flight from Calgary, then a small sea plane, but we found him.
David, as you know, the Prime Minister exerts strict control over who
gets into press conferences, who he’ll arrest if they get too close, and
who he’ll sit down for an interview with.
Trudeau has had me arrested before. His RCMP perp-walked me out of a
press conference that I was actually invited to, all because he was
afraid of some questions.
I’ve had to sue the Prime Minister to gain access to his election scrums.
But this time, he couldn't get away. For 10 minutes, I grilled him on the beach. Check out the sneak peak here:
Why did we take a sea plane to a remote beach to grill the Prime
Minister? His administration is hanging by a thread, and the stakes have
never been higher.
After reviewing open-source intel and discerning the whereabouts of
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's plane, we realized he was hiding in
Tofino.
The mainstream media was calling it a vacation, but we knew where he was
and we knew that this was the only opportunity we'd have to get
questions answered.
Shockingly, for the first time in his political career, he didn't lean on the police to stop a journalist from doing their job.
We are publishing the full, unedited, unscripted interview in 2 hours, at 5PM Pacific Time, only for Newsroom Insiders.
Please make sure your subscription is up to date so that you can access

MP Andy Fillmore announces run for Halifax mayor
The former urban planner announced last month he was leaving Ottawa
Andy Fillmore is officially running for mayor of Halifax, leaving federal politics after nearly nine years as the city's MP.
He made the announcement Wednesday morning in Dartmouth's Alderney Landing, among a large crowd of supporters that included current and former MLAs and MPs. Coun. Tony Mancini also attended, as did former councillor Sheila Fougere.
"My whole career has been all about being a champion for Halifax. I've done that in Parliament, I've done that at city hall as a planner, I did it at the Waterfront Development Corporation," Fillmore told reporters after his speech.
"Now I feel a call to be back home in Halifax to help us navigate through the challenges of growth that we're experiencing and feel that I'm uniquely positioned and qualified to do that."
Fillmore, who joked that his bid for mayor has been the city's "worst-kept secret," said last year he was considering the idea. He delivered his final speech to Parliament in June.
If elected, Fillmore promised to freeze the municipal tax rate for two years to better help residents cope with the rising cost of living and housing prices.

During that time, he said, he'd make sure the municipality conducted an internal study "to understand how we can more efficiently deliver services," and build partnerships with the private sector and other levels of government.
When asked how he'd work with the new council to make that freeze happen, especially at a time when municipalities say they're underfunded and are calling for a new tax framework, Fillmore said councillors would hear the same message that he is hearing — that residents are "tapped out."
Fillmore said his first act as mayor would be to call Premier Tim Houston and "tell him that he's got a partner in me and in the city to address the housing crisis head-on." A municipal tax freeze could also help development and keep rents from rising more rapidly, he said.
He'd also like to see building code amendments that would enable more affordable and innovative construction techniques, like off-site manufacturers and 24-hour factories so homes could be built on-site in a couple of days instead of a couple of months.
"There is a lot that we can do at the municipal level," Fillmore said.
He also promised to fill more potholes on city roads, and address Halifax Transit issues that often see buses running late and ferry crossings cancelled.
He said there could be "modernized ways" of delivering transit that come out of the internal study he's pushing for, but the city must hire more ferry and bus operators, and listen to the union and transit users.
Fillmore has been the MP for Halifax since 2015, when he defeated incumbent New Democrat Megan Leslie as part of the red wave that brought in Justin Trudeau's Liberal government.
He was re-elected in 2019 and 2021. He has been on various committees and was parliamentary secretary to a few ministers over the years, but was never tapped for a cabinet position himself.
When asked how he will distinguish himself as an individual rather than a part of the federal Liberal government that has been slipping in the polls, Fillmore said he's "never been a partisan politician" and has worked collaboratively across the aisle.
"I'm not running away from anything. I'm running to something. I'm running to continue ... to be a champion for Halifax as I have my whole career," he said.
Born in Bloomington, Ind., Fillmore's family returned to Nova Scotia when he was young and he grew up in Halifax. He eventually attended Acadia University in Wolfville, N.S., the Technical University of Nova Scotia (since merged into Dalhousie University) and the Harvard Graduate School of Design in Cambridge, Mass.
Worked as urban planner in Halifax, United States
Fillmore spent 20 years as a city planner, including in Massachusetts where he worked on the Big Dig highway megaproject in Boston as an urban designer, and was later a town planner in Maine.
In 2005, Fillmore returned to Halifax to work with the municipality and led the implementation of the HRM by Design Downtown Halifax Plan. He was the city's first manager of urban design and worked on the regional plan that provided guidance for 25 years of growth.
Fillmore said he'll spend the next few weeks finishing up constituency work before officially resigning as MP in September. It remains to be seen how the seat is filled — it could be through a byelection, but if a general federal election is called within the six months after his resignation, that won't be needed.
He is the third high-profile candidate to join the race for mayor, alongside current councillors Pam Lovelace and Waye Mason. It's an open field as Mayor Mike Savage announced in February he wouldn't reoffer after 12 years in the city's top role.
Multiple political newcomers are also looking to run for mayor, including Clay Bowser, Nolan Greenough, Ryan Dodge, Zoran Jokic and Blake Roache.
Municipal election day across Nova Scotia is Oct. 19.

Liberal backbencher calls for Trudeau to resign in email to caucus
Saint John-Rothesay MP Wayne Long says new leadership needed 'for the good of our country'
Liberal backbencher Wayne Long has sent an email to caucus calling for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to resign as leader after the party lost a Toronto-area riding that's been solidly Liberal for decades earlier this week.
The New Brunswick MP is the first Liberal caucus member to openly call for Trudeau's resignation since Tuesday's byelection upset in Toronto-St. Paul's.
"For the future of our party and for the good of our country, we need new leadership and a new direction," Long wrote in an email obtained by CBC News.
"The voters have spoken loud and clear they want change. I agree."
The Saint John-Rothesay MP, who has spoken out against his government in the past, is not re-offering in the next election.
Newfoundland and Labrador MP Ken McDonald responded to the email with, "Well said!"
He later told CBC News he liked how Long articulated himself but isn't calling for Trudeau to resign.
The Avalon MP, who has voted against his own party twice on the carbon tax, said it's the prime minister's decision to make alone, but stressed the need for an urgent, in-person caucus meeting with Trudeau.
According to sources who have seen the email chain, Kingston MP Mark Gerretsen asked members to stop hitting reply-all.

Trudeau, who has not taken questions from reporters since the byelection, has insisted he plans to stay on as leader.
"I and my entire team have much more hard work to do to deliver tangible, real progress that Canadians can see and feel," he said in a media statement this week.
Before this week's vote, a Conservative candidate hadn't been competitive in Toronto-St. Paul's since the 1980s. The party hadn't won a seat in urban Toronto since the 2011 federal election.
Conservative Don Stewart secured the breakthrough, beating Liberal candidate Leslie Church by 590 votes.
CBC has reached out to Long for comment.
In 2017, he was kicked off two parliamentary committees after he supported a failed Conservative motion related to proposed small business tax changes.

Why this young unhoused person and mechanic want to be Halifax's next mayor
Clay Bowser and Nolan Greenough say their youth is an asset in the race
The race for a new Halifax mayor has started, and two political newcomers say they've been driven to run through their own experiences with affordability and housing.
Clay Bowser and Nolan Greenough have registered as unofficial candidates for mayor of Halifax in the upcoming October municipal election. Official nominations will happen at the end of the summer.
Bowser, 27, has a background in information technology. He's originally from New Glasgow and has been in Halifax for the past decade.
But right now, Bowser said he's between jobs and is living at a shelter in the city.
"I've [borne] witness to the challenges that my city faces — specifically speaking, affordable housing — and I know that I can make a positive difference if elected," Bowser said.
Besides better housing policies, Bowser said he wants to give a voice to people from all backgrounds.
He also hopes his run inspires more young people to get engaged in politics.
"They can make a positive change in their country. You don't have to give up," he said.
Nolan Greenough, 23, said his youth and open mind would be assets as mayor.
"Everywhere I go, I learn something new from somebody new, and I think that is massively beneficial to somebody on council, somebody as a mayor," Greenough said.
He works as a mechanic at a U-Haul location in Halifax, and lives in Dartmouth with his family.
Greenough said he experienced tough times and food insecurity growing up with a single mom in various neighbourhoods around Halifax, so affordable housing and supporting people experiencing homelessness are top issues for him.
"I want to help people, right? I don't want other people to have to go through what I went through," he said.
Improving Halifax's transit system is also a priority, Greenough said. Right now, it's not something he or his mom can rely on for work because it would take about two hours to commute via bus compared to a 20-minute drive.
Besides the environmental benefits, better transit would also allow more people without cars to get to a job and lift them out of poverty, he said.
Greenough said he's been watching recent council meetings online to get a sense of how city hall works, and videos from outgoing councillors and Mayor Mike Savage offering their insights on municipal politics.
"[Savage] mentioned how if you're running for mayor, you need to think about what you can bring to the city, and … he brought his communication," Greenough said.
"For me, coming from a very hands-on, practical background, I think having that practical way of thinking is what we kind of need here."
Election coming in October
Candidates can gather donations and campaign now while official nominations will happen Sept. 10.
Coun. Pam Lovelace is expected to announce her bid for mayor at an event on Friday. Her council colleague, Coun. Waye Mason, has said he's considering the top job as well, but has yet to make an announcement.
It's been rumoured Halifax MP Andy Fillmore will run as well, but he has yet to confirm.
Municipal election day across Nova Scotia is Oct. 19.

MEET NOLAN
STRAIGHT BUSSIN'
Born in Halifax, Nolan spent his early years in Prospect, where, at the age of 10, he gained an appreciation for entrepreneurship through starting his own small business selling handmade toys at the Harbourview Market on weekends.
Moving to Spryfield in his teens, he continued on with his classmates from Prospect and graduated from Halifax West.
After graduation, he secured a full time day job as a Tire Technician in Cole Harbour and enrolled for night classes in the Automotive Service Technician Program at NSCC in Woodlawn. He, and (his now Fianceé. Megan, moved downtown, allowing her to more easily commute to her full time classes at St. Mary's where she completed her education and received a BA in Criminology.
He now resides in the Woodlawn area of Dartmouth, in the fixer upper home he and Megan secured a down payment for, and acquired last summer, along with two other family members, and works full time as an Apprentice Mechanic in Bayers Lake.
As the teen of a single mom, he learned first hand the struggles of being in a low income household, and needing to maintain a vehicle due to unreliable or non-existent transit service in the suburban areas. While living in Prospect, his mother introduced him to e-scooters at a young age, allowing him to get around in a timely manner before he was eligible to drive on his own. Even once he had his own car, and to this day, when the weather co-operates, he will still be found taking his bike to work, and would continue to do so as Mayor as well, despite living in a multi-car household. He knows first hand the issues with bike lane infrastructure in this city, and the reasons why most people are afraid to take their bikes on the road in Halifax.
Nolan approaches the campaign with a unique lens. He felt the struggle of living in an economically challenged home, to keep their heads above water in one of the most expensive cities in Canada. Personally, as well as professionally, he knows how costly car ownership can be, and is striving to make transit and active transportation a more viable option for those who live in the core, freeing up the roads for those who require a vehicle to get into the city.

'The privilege of my life': Mike Savage won't run for another term as Halifax mayor
The 63-year-old has been in the role for 12 years
Halifax Mayor Mike Savage says he will not run for a fourth term in the upcoming municipal election this fall.
The 63-year-old, who has been mayor since 2012, made the announcement Tuesday at Halifax City Hall in a tearful speech where he called the mayorship "the best job I ever had."
"It was a difficult decision, but it passes the test that my mother gave me more than 20 years ago: 'Is it a decision that sits comfortably in both your head and your heart?' And it does."
Savage said he would continue his work as mayor for the next eight months and would be willing to meet with anyone who's considering running for the position to offer his insights.
"Twelve years is long enough. It's time for me to plan for life after being mayor," Savage said. "I don't know what that will be, but I know there is something else."

Savage said he wanted to leave on his own terms, and go out at a time when he likely could win again.
He also said he was proud to have served with his colleagues in municipal council and worked in a growing city that has become younger and more diverse over the years.
"Thank you to the residents of our community for giving me the enormous honour of serving it," he said at the end of his speech. "It has been the privilege of my life."
While Savage said he loved being mayor, he doesn't see longevity as a mark of success in politics — rather, "what the hell did you do when you had the chance to do something?"
Savage said he's proud that during his tenure, Halifax's downtown has seen development and the city brought in a tax to fund climate change adaptation.
He also spoke about improved relationships with the Mi'kmaw community. Savage said a key moment was council's decision to remove the statue and street name of Halifax's controversial founder Edward Cornwallis, who issued a bounty against Mi'kmaw men, women and children.

But the city's growth has come amid a housing and affordability crisis, with a rising number of people sheltering in city parks and other encampment sites.
Savage said the city's growth and success has positioned it to better support those who are homeless, and he plans to work on the issue for the next eight months alongside the province.
"I would like to think that my career in politics would be based on taking care of people, taking care of the planet, and then allowing people to do well at the same time," Savage said.
His decision means there will be an open race for the mayor's seat.
Coun. Waye Mason has long said he would consider running when Savage stepped down. But on Tuesday, he said now was not the right time for that conversation.

"When Mike got elected, Halifax was a bit of a mess and he brought a lot of confidence and swagger back to the city, and I think he really has to be applauded for that," Mason said after the announcement. "It's going to be hard to imagine what the city will be like when he's gone."
Coun. Pam Lovelace said she's considering a run for mayor, but hasn't made a decision yet.
There have been rumours about Halifax MP Andy Fillmore running for the job since last fall when he stepped away from his duties as Parliamentary secretary for the federal minister of Innovation, Science and Industry. At the time, he posted to social media that he wanted to focus his "undivided attention on Halifax."
Savage boosted Halifax's prosperity: Fillmore
When asked about the possibility of running on Tuesday, Fillmore's office pointed to his statement on X, formerly known as Twitter, thanking Savage for his years of service.
As mayor, Savage "turned our municipality toward prosperity, moving us closer to the promise of our potential," Fillmore wrote.
Savage was first elected mayor in 2012, and was re-elected in 2016 and 2020.
Prior to municipal politics, he served as MP for the federal riding of Dartmouth-Cole Harbour from 2004 until 2011, when he was defeated by NDP candidate Robert Chisholm.

Ya think whereas old Ed Broadbent had no understanding of ethical conduct, he would have at taught the dumb Mr. Dewar a little politcal savy about ignoring a serious Maritimer who wishes to hols all Parliamentarians accountable. What say you oh ye oh so wise Rhodes Scholar political lawyer who would not say shit to me on the radio. Will you debate or not Mr Graham Steele?

Hi David.My name is James and I have been asked to send this message onto you from Paul…DearMr. Amos,Thank you for informing me of your concerns regarding Canada 's role in Afghanistan after February 2007.The NDP voted against this motion because we believe it is the wrong mission for Canada . It does not reflect the peace-making values that Canadians want to see our forces undertake on the world stage. This forced motion essentially ties our aid and development funds to war-making, and we cannot support that.It is quite clear that Harper's Conservatives aren't interested in due diligence. They're interested in dragging us further into a US-style combat role and away from our traditional peace keeping role. Much like the Liberals before them, the Conservatives have failed to tell Canadians:- What the chain of command and control will be for this mission.- What the definition of success will be for our troops.- What our exit strategy will be.Many Canadians have written me wanting answers and it is our duty as representatives of our constituents, to get answers before committing to any new missions overseas. As any soldier knows, time spent on reconnaissance is never wasted.New Democrats recognize that Canada does have a role in assisting Afghanis in rebuilding their country. Afghanistan is the largest recipient of Canadian overseas development aid and we fully support the continuation of that funding - outside of this mission.Thank you again for the time and effort you have taken to share your thoughts with me, and for bringing your opinion on this matter to my attention.Sincerely,Paul Dewar, MP Ottawa Centre

Subject: Portions of wiretap tapes to impeach George W. Bush and put a stop Harper's motion tommorrowHeyBefore all the Parliamentarians argue and then vote to support further Canadian deaths in one of George W. Bush's Wars for Global Control for the benefit of his corporate cohorts perhaps, you should at least listen to the attachments if you do not wish to bother to read what Billy Casey and the Bankers got on May 12th. If I can assist in preventing the demise of just one more Canadian warrior in a malicious foreign war, all of my work will have been worth it EH?If everyone ignores me as usual, I will not be surprised. At least I will sleep well with my conscience tonight because I know I have done my very best to stop the nonsense since early 2002 long before the War in Iraq began. None of you deserve to sleep well at all because you all supported Harper's orders to send our people to war even before the 39th Parliament sat this year. As far as I am concerned the blood of four very honourable soldiers can be found on your hands. Shame on all of you for not even bothering to honour our dead by lowering the flag on the Peacetower. As long as I have been aware and could consider myself a Proad Canadian, I thought we were peacekeepers rather than poorly paid hired guns for crooked corporations, corrupt politicians and their wicked Yankee bible pounding buddies.Veritas VincitDavid Raymond AmosFEDERAL EXPRESS February 7, 2006

Email: bbachrach@bowditch.comThat's what John Crosbie wore in 1979, the last time a budget brought down a Canadian government in a minority-Parliament situation. It proved to be a bad omen, given that the Conservative government of the day foundered on Crosbie's document.The mukluks proved to be symbolic of Joe Clark's short-lived administration -- overconfident and blind to convention. As Crosbie observed in his memoirs, Clark "decided to govern as though we had a majority, a decision that was as arrogant as it was presumptuous."By RANDY BURTON — Saskatoon Star-PhoenixMay 10th, 2006Prime Minister Stephen Harper, Franky Boy McKenna, Deputy Chair,Minister of Public Safety, Stockwell Day, John Bragg and John Thompson, DirectorsPresident of the Treasury Board, John Baird, Chris Montague Legal CounselMinisters James Flaherty, and Vic Toews C/o Jill Crosby, Bank ManagerC/o Bill Casey MP TD Financial Group103 Albion Street South, 620 Main StreetAmherst, NS, B4H 2X2 Sussex, NB, E4E 5L4W.

E1C 1E5RE: Blowing the whistle on big banks and corrupt politicians too.Hey,Flaherty’s budget looming on the horizon tonight is gonna get the big OK from the Bloc EH? Well a mean old bike mechanic in the Maritimes has been waiting to chuck a wrench in the works of many a crooked beancounter. I just served your offices in hand some of the same material that Andre Arthur MP and Senator Kinsella received before the 39th Parliament began. I am also giving you other material and a political rant that they did not receive. The legal counsel of all the monstrous Canadian banks have shown me their arses, two for a month and three for almost two years. It is high time to boot you bankers out off bed with the corrupt politicians you depend on to cover up wrongs or sue you bastards too. N’est pas?You can expect to see litigation against the Crown soon. The severe of lack integrity of people employed in public service to protect the public interests has caused me to prosecute a matter of public trust in Pro Se fashion. As is my right. I will do my best to hold accountable all those in public office, public service and the lawyers etc that have acted wrongfully against me. In the past I filed forms in the public record and in confidence, argued cops, sued treasury agents, lawyers, judges, an Attorney General who aspires to be a Governor and even a high priest. To no avail, I made thousands of phone calls, sent many more emails and sent mountains of letters proving my concerns and sincerity. To date no one has ever called me a liar but all of it was ignored all the same. If there were such a thing as an honest cop, lawyer or politician they could never deny that it is ridiculous that a whistleblower would have to go to such lengths to attempt to see Justice served in two purported Democracies. Pursuant to my quest for Justice, you will find enclosed hard copy of the material that I promised I would send to you before we meet in court. The copy of wiretap tape # 139 that all law enforcement authorities in Canada and the USA have refused investigate should be of the greatest concern to all of you right away. It is served upon you in confidence as officers of the court. Prepare to argue me about many more tapes and cases of other documents. The bankers and I may be arguing the Securities, Bank and Tax Fraud in the USA sooner than they think. The AT&T dudes should have known police surveillance tapes when they heard them. EH?Whether you admit it or not, I know I have served upon you some of the irrefutable evidence that should have warranted the process to impeach George W. Bush years ago. All who sat in the 37th, 38th and now the 39th Parliament know why the Yankee DHS tried to take me away to Cuba on April 1st, 2003. It was because of my legitimate efforts to expose Bush and his cohorts BEFORE the War on Iraq began. For years legions of politicians, lawyers, cops, bankers and priests proved an Orwellian truth as they laughed at my ethical efforts to defend the rights and interests of my Clan. "In the time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act"EH? Do you think your banks’ investors will laugh like your lawyers did? By law and the rules of your professions you must conduct yourselves ethically and hold matters in confidence. I do not. Now it is a rebel rouser’s turn to laugh as you turn page. Awful truths will put your fancy panties in a knot yet make me feel as free as my big balls do under my kilt. JPlease fell free to sue me if you disagree but you, Stevey Boy Harper got your party its mandate with rhetoric claiming to crack down on crime and hold the government accountable. Now that Conservatives have had the reigns of power for over three months, Stockwell Day at the very least must be well aware of all the secrets the two previous liberal governments kept from you and us Common Canadian Citizens. The secrets about me that most other Canadians do not give a damn about, do concern me greatly. Ask the Commissioner, John Reid, he must know of the cover up of my efforts to expose the well known rampant cross border public corruption that has caused my little Clan to suffer so. His office hung up on me on the very day he was speaking about the Conservatives’ new rules to Parliament. No doubt he knows of the evidence I have provided over the years to many Canadian law enforcement authorities that is considered a matter of public safety. Yet we all know it is not. Nevertheless it has caused three very corrupt Canadian Federal governments and all Provincial governments to willfully support the malice of Yankee State and Federal governments acting wrongfully against me. WHY?Now Harper has shown us his true colours, too bad for you that the DHS did not manage to take me away to Cuba. EH Mr. Day? I must ask you in court someday soon if you have listened to the original wiretap tapes that I provided to CSIS and the RCMP before and after the federal election in 2004. It was done before I was falsely imprisoned in a Yankee jail. Why did the nasty Canadian Consulate officers in Boston refuse to accept any more of the Yankee wiretap tapes that my wife tried to give to them while I sat in jail held under the charges of "other" without bail or even being legally arrested or charged? As I sat in a jail in Beantown Eliot Spitzer, a Yankee in New York made the big score with my info. Yet he allowed Morgan Stanley to sue my wife? The 38th Parliament continued to ignore my plight throughout its mandate. As we all watched Bush pull off another very questionable election it appears only I saw Count Peter-Hans Kolvenbach fly to the USA to speak in aid of the very evil smoke and mirror show. EH?Whereas all Canadian authorities have ignored my pleas for assistance for three years, I must sue the Crown to seek relief under the Charter for my government’s deliberate assistance in malicious prosecution and false imprisonment etc. Did you politicians think I was kidding when I said it in January on CTV News? The smirking newsman, Stevey Boy Murphy asked me clearly and I answered him plainly. It was watched live all over the Maritimes just minutes before the only time I was ever allowed to debate dumb Andy Scott in front of a live crowd as I ran against him for his seat in Parliament. Many common folks heard me say it and have commented about it in the months since. Some of them must have questioned some of their various MPs by now. I watched a friend confront his MP, Greg Thompson in front folks of two ridings. He gave all other candidates running against two seated Conservatives a copy of the letter he served upon Thompson in hand. Now you have your copy too. Thompson in front of witnesses promised to respond in writing to his constituent before polling day three months ago. Just as I suspected, the new Cabinet Minister broke his promise. I know for a fact in 2005 Greg Thompson, Bill Casey and Andy Scott ignored other constituents of theirs who brought hard copy of my material to their local offices personally while I was being illegally prosecuted in the USA. Obviously our MPs Liberal or Conservative have no respect for their own constituents if they are kin or friends of mine. EH?Check the letter that Landslide Annie McLellan sent to me when she had Stockwell Day ‘s day job. Clearly she was compelled to answer me after so many high placed Yankees had already done so. She did what all Martinites have done in the past and blamed one of Chretien’s arseholes, Wayne Easter for my plight as a whistleblower. Stockwell Day did you get off your Jet Ski to follow the lead of liberals such as a dumb PEI farmer and a very malicious political lawyer from Nova Scotia? You will not provide me any assistance whatsoever as is required by the mandate of your office? None of your underlings even the nervous Marshal dude will do me the simple courtesy of calling me back just like your political cohorts never did? Your little Newfy buddy, Rob Moore forgot something just as Landslide Annie as the Minister of Justice did when Easter was Solicitor General. She did not have any idea what mechanism a layman would employ to hold many a corrupt Parliamentarian accountable. The answer is so simple to me. Sue the Bastards. Didn’t anyone notice I have done it in the past to many Yankees? I have changed my style and waited until some very corrupt public servants were out of public office so that they could not employ the weight of a corrupt justice system against me. Vic Toews will have his job cut out trying to defend the malice of all three recent government mandates two of them liberal against one Proud Canadian. EH? JWhereas Federal Court in Canada does not allow me the right to a trial by jury and its Commissioner David Gourdeau has shown his arse too, I plan to do a double check in the USA. With luck, at about the same time my matters may begin in Fredericton, I will be seeking a jury in a Yankee Federal Court with a lawsuit against some very crooked Canadian political lawyers and their many Yankee associates acting against other Canadians, Yankees and me. In the "mean" time I have been lining up ducks while Jumping Jimmy Flaherty was drop kicking his wicked budget past the very confused corrupt clucking Chickenshits sitting as the opposition in the Chicken House. Tonight byway of the Bloc I am making my best fiercely political efforts to see that all Conservatives will be looking for a new day job far from the Hill in Upper Canada. Then I will give this material to other bankers when I judge the time is right. Any great mechanic knows that there is true magic in the timing of things. If a crook in opposition blinks and mentions me in a public forum even after the budget is allowed, it will be all over but the crying for George W, Bush and his lapdog, Stevey Boy Harper. Who may wish to mingle with the media soon is interesting. EH?If the bankers who did not wish to call me back last month want this material explained, it is the task of the Thomson dudes, Jealous Johnny Manley and Franky Boy McKenna to do now. I did my best to make certain they knew everything over the years. The Thomson dudes claim to know everything that goes on in court in Canada and the USA. The Upper Canadian lawyer was Minister of Finance etc in the 37th Parliament, and the Maritimer was our Ambassador to the USA under the mandate of the 38th. They can explain the malice of Landslide Annie and her many cohorts in support of corrupt bankers etc. Better yet let the Yankee lawyer Michael Hefler and his Canadian counterpart Deborah Alexander explain their support of Putnam Investments, Brian Mulroney, Cendant Corp. and Franky McKenna’s old BMO crowd etc. Tell me, do ya think my name came up when they cooked a little deal between Citigroup and Scotia Bank recently? Jennifer Warren should be capable of explaining why Garfield Emerson quit the Rogers outfit recently. Geoffrey Beattie of Thomson Corp no doubt can explain why David Allgood is playing dumb. Need I say that the brotherhood of the bar and bankers make me as sick as politicians do?The reason I ran against the aptly named lawyer, Rob Moore in 2004 should be painfully clear to all Canadians in recent days. Stevey Boy Harper is proving to all that he is a lapdog for Bush just like Franky Boy McKenna said of him years ago. I do not have put one word in the text of this letter in support of what many Proud Canadians are agreeing with in Frank Boy’s political dogma speech years ago in support of the reelection of Rotten Ralphy Goodale. The fact that Moore is now Canada’s Parliamentary Secretary for the Minister of Justice greatly offends me. All Canadians have the right to know why. If he or any other Canadian lawyer had acted as a proper officer of the court then my Clan would not be suffering from many wrongs right now. The Yankee Carpetbagger, David Lutz whom I had given this material to BEFORE Moore was elected in 2004 must agree. I am very curious what Rob Moore will say in Parliament in his own defense when I put him and Lutz in bed in a Canadian complaint.Rob Moore can explain to all Canadians why I think the blood of four very honourable Canadian soldiers and countless others can be found on his hands and that of his cohorts. In June of 2004 during a debate at the Moss Glen Legion we were questioned in front of many people including David Lutz, I stated my position clearly with regards to War. In defense of our warriors I said that they must get the best training and weapons possible, then be kept home to defend our country. That is their job. Lutz a Yankee draft dodger nodded in agreement. Moore did not argue me because he did not need to. Less is more for Moore when matters are a sure thing. The Blue Coat got the seat he expected to win in Fundy just like my dog would have if she had worn his coat. However Moore and Lutz are lessor men than I because of their inaction as purportedly ethical men. If the lawyers in Moore and Lutz disagreed with all I wrote of them since, why didn’t they sue me to protect their reputations? The answer is the same as I have proven in the turncoat Bad Boy Billy Matthews versus Byron Prior matter in Newfoundland. Politically appointed Judges like Derek Green or lawyers like Bernard Roy controlling the show in court or Inquiry only cover up and delay awful truths. It is important that public corruption be argued in public view quickly. Thus I will sue Crown. Before anyone attempts to deny what I have just stated, study this material closely. Look how sending this material to any of you is truly redundant. The evidence that you or your associates and I crossed have paths many times in the past is irrefutable despite the fact that I can prove my many letters, phone calls and emails that I sent over the years. Turn the page, lawyers. It gets worse for you JIf any of you truly do not know who I am, it is the Fed’s fault, not mine. I can easily prove that the Feds have done no service whatsoever for the public they have an obligation to serve. The fact that the Feds have done their worst to keep my legitimate actions a whistleblower secret with false claims such as confidentiality or public security further serves to prove my point about rampant public corruption. To refute the false claims of secrecy, I must point out that much of my work can still be found in the public record of many courts in Canada, the USA and on the Internet as well. Last fall my wife saw a copy of wiretap tape # 139 in the docket of a Yankee court that anyone could listen to. I had filed that copy in a sealed envelope with that court in order to protect the Fourth Amendment Rights of the people recorded on it. As you can see by the documents I have provided that one year ago the District Attorney in Boston lost the many original wiretap tapes that I gave him in court in 2004. Nothing yet has been said about my lawyer in the USA sending 9 original wiretap tapes to the Senate Judiciary Committee in Congress this year on February 7th. So much for Yankees upholding the law EH? Canadians are no better.As you can see despite my wife and my lawyer’s best efforts to stop them, the Yankees seized our home without warrants or due process of law. A couple more Yankee bankers and insurance dudes made out like the bandits they are. This was done while my children and I were in Canada last summer without a home. Nobody in Canada or the UN even bothered to care about our Human Rights. All of my pleas to the spendthrifts Adrienne Clarkson, Pierre Pettigrew and their replacements Michaelle Jean, Petey Baby MacKay were ignored despite our Canadian birthright and our rights under the Charter. Canada supported the theft of our property including many original wiretap tapes I had in my possession in our home.I have been recently informed that Yankees have sold all of my possessions at a public auction including the wiretap tapes. However, much to chagrin of Yankees, I have proven that I have many more wiretap tapes in Canada and elsewhere. The aforesaid malicious auction of my property was done while my Clan is still awaiting a long delayed trial about the illegal actions against us. Our property was supposed to be safely stored according to the rules of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts Department of Public Safety until the matter was resolved. This latest malice begs the obvious question..Whereas Yankee law enforcement authorities feel free to violate their Constitution and sell wiretap tapes of their citizens at public auction, why can’t I do the same? Interesting question. EH? Why should I as a Canadian Citizen care about the Civil Rights of Yankee mobsters and their families anymore when their evil government does not? Methinks I should sell a few on EBAY in Europe to see if I can recoup some of my losses ASAP. I could use the funds from the sale of the wiretap tapes to sue many lawyers etc in the USA and Canada. Look at the very dumb answers I got in 2003 from a crooked District Attorney in Massachusetts and the corrupt US Attorney in New Hampshire, before you try to claim that what I would be doing is illegal. The former is a good friend of Argeo P. Cellucci and the latter enforces federal code in the State where I now permanently reside. Both Yankees claim the tapes are not what I say they are but merely evidence in a probate action? What planet do Yankee lawyers come from?I can’t be the only person on this planet who wishes to see George W. Bush impeached ASAP. Ask the fat dumb happy Yankee Michael Moore before you disagree. These tapes may fetch quite a price from story hungry dudes such as he. Truth is stranger than fiction and far more marketable and profitable with less money spent in production using real people instead of big name actors. Even clever lawyers must admit that wiretap tape # 139 makes one wonder what happened next. EH? Stay tuned dudes. Small portions of other tapes may be in your email inbox for you to listen to. Other politicians can read the text of this letter and listen to their Parliamentary email along with the rest of mine they have ignored for over three years. The many words of a fiercely political rant may be added as a postscript to the text of this letter and sent to the government’s opposition first. I must be fair. You dudes got this letter first. My next email may cause quite a stir amongst the clucking Chickenshits in the House. Canadians should find it very interesting indeed if one or more the smiling bastards decide to mention my name to the Speaker.How they vote against the political pollution of hot air from the windbags of Baird and Flaherty that is stinking up the House is critical to our future. I see no need to let all the cats out of the bag in this letter to you but for fun just check my work. See me teasing Derek Burney and his boss Brian Mulroney? They know the Barbarian at the gate who is me knows what lawyers hold the keys that lock all political parties together on both sides of the 49th parallel. One nasty Yankee’s name is Harper too. JThat smiling bastard’s law office ain’t too far from the UN. EH? Depending how far left you are Michael Ignatieff,Canada’s Prince of Darkness or our Sexist Cerebral man knows the Yankee Harper quite well. Derek Burney and Karl Rove as aymen or Louis Freeh and the new General Counsel of the FBI as lawyers would likely agree with little ol me and on one thing. It is that bigassed Yankee lawyers like the one named Harper makes little liberal lawyers such as Humpty Dumpty, Land Slide Annie, Asinine Allan Rock, Franky Boy McKenna, and Johnny Jealous Manley look like the little lost puppies truly they are. Perhaps bankers etc will want Franky Boy McKenna to call some crooked cop he knows hanging out in his hometown to figure out how to handle me now. Before you do, check my work that I have provided to you to see what I have already given you many clues not to. I have had enough police harassment for any ten men to stand. My ghost or I will sue every cop that has tried to stop me from justifiably and legally seeking justice. There is no middle ground for any honest man to stand on in my battles against very corrupt justice systems in two purported Democracies. The interests of investors in many banks would be better served if the bankers chastised in public view a certain few employees who deliberately failed to uphold the law and protect the public’s interests invested in their bank and many other publicly held companies. From a Canadian’s perspective of the world I know that the interests of all Canadians are bought and sold on Yankee stock markets everyday. I know of many lawyers who should be knocked off their high horses ASAP. In fact I just named some them. EH?Canadian politicians should know this before the vote on the budget becomes a matter of history. I truly believe that Conservatives will continue to follow Bush’s lead for the benefit of the bankers whose HQ’s surround Flaherty’s office. Like Bush he will try to take our country deep into debt. Bankers and politicians will do what they wish with the world, tis true. Trust that I don’t care the more the merrier for me in litigation. You dudes are about to meet a rather formidable layman in court. I have been studying and arguing law night and day for four years, all the while clearing each and every hurtle that rampant public corruption has thrown into my path to Justice. I will not pity any lawyer who chooses to stand in court beside the likes of Franky Boy, Landslide Annie and Humpty Dumpty. You can see that Harper has ignored the words of the Accountability Act with doubletalk if his pals need money for their party war chests. Our little Lord of NB and his buddy Brad Green affirmed that they knew the same truths that Rob Moore, Franky Boy and Landslide Annie did years ago. It was within a few days of the election and Humpty Dumpty’s Third World boat named after his wife was caught in Nova Scotia bringing cocaine to Canada along with more Blood Coal. Humpty Dumpty employed lawyer’s rhetoric and recused himself and Landslide Annie’s underlings made the matter evaporate. Harper just looked away in support even as Humpty Dumpty picked Franky Boy to be our Ambassador within the year to obviously support the Yankee’s malicious persecution of me rather than act within the scope of his employment as a public servant. If bankers do not understand my words, blame your own lawyers. David Allgood should have walked the talk of Chris Montague’s words about Red Flags in his speech on Feb 11th 2005 and called me back if he did not wish to argue me in court. When I called both of them Deborah Alexander, Ronald Sirkis and Jennifer Warren were past too late. They knew of wiretap tapes and Bank Fraud etc since 2004.This year after the Conservative government accepted Franky Boy’s resignation and well before the TD Financial Group hired Franky Boy, I called his spokesperson Ruth McCrae. After a minor spit and chew ensued, she told me to sue her along with the law firm of McInnes and Cooper. A liberal talk show host Tom Young will soon affirm that I do not have to be asked twice to sue someone but I did call many partners of the aforesaid law firm to see if they agreed with Franky Boy and his outspoken gal. The words of the lawyer Costello, a partner who argues NB Power on behalf of the Venezuela and the silence of the rest affirmed that all apparently stood with McKenna including some of the former partners of Paterson and Palmer. Furthermore, Franky Boy should have disclosed everything about a potential lawsuit etc to the TD Financial dudes before accepting his new position. However I was very open and very honest with them as soon as I was aware of his new job. Now that Franky Boy and I are both back home in our old stomping grounds and I am on the warpath, John Manley may quit hustling the Ottawa Senators hockey team to CIBC. It would be wise to try to explain why Franky Boy praised Yankee success at pond hockey to the law partners of Burns and Levenson whom he partied with last fall instead of being a proper public servant and discussing with Yankees the failings of their partner, my Guardian Ad Litem Brian Bixby. JFor my benefit, I made it a point to look into Stevey Boy Harper’s pale blue eyes on June 19th, 2004 when he stopped in Sussex for ice cream the day after I debated Rob Moore the first time. We both knew each other at a glance. Lets just say I found nothing I admired behind Stevey Boy’s eyes. His soul is far meaner than Rob Moore’s. With luck on my side, this year my fellow Maritimers should be entertained and educated in a three-ring circus of a long awaited monumental hoe-down in court. Our little Lord’s justice system that his buddy, Cleveland Allaby was well paid to study in secret years ago will be the unwilling confused ringmaster to oversee the affair. When it comes to being showmen Franky Boy and I are on and even keel. We are both smiling bastards who crack a lot of jokes fearlessly in front of crowds. To his advantage, he is a lawyer whereas I am not. He is famous whereas I am not. Franky Boy is very wealthy, whereas I am not. On the other hand, I am honest whereas he is not. I have many friends that I can trust, whereas he does not. I have much evidence of many crimes he has covered up in his personal pursuit of lucre, whereas he has only fancy legal doubletalk. Franky Boy has climbed high up on the crooked totem pole of affluence pedaling his influence over common Maritimers without a common man’s conscience that is lost to all lawyers. Franky Boy and his many pals in banks and companies such as the Carlyle Group may gain the whole world at the expense of their own souls. However one pigheaded ethical soul will try hard to hold them all accountable by just knocking a few off their high horses. I also know there are many souls in the Maritimes who were entertained and understand the meaning of the old story of David versus Goliath or my name ain’t Dave. Watch me look into the eyes of the people I pick for a jury before I start chucking rocks in court.Stevey Boy Harper and his little lawyer Rob Moore would not understand why I am humming the old tune sung the dude who loved to hang around mobsters but many other old farts like me will. They will understand why I am writing the letter in April and delivering it in hand to my MP Bill Casey in May. (I am sending Duccepe and Fortier the same material Allan Rock and Franky Boy received last May) To give the devil his due, that old dead Yankee Franky Boy sang "That’s Life" very well. Methinks that Stevey Boy’s big mistake was following the directions of Derek Burney and Karl Rove too closely. He really should learn to think for himself. He is flying too high in April for his own good in May. It seems that Harper don’t even know that what goes up always comes down. The higher they go the harder they fall. Ask Humpty Dumpty. The clucking chickens in opposition may shoot his government down in May without the effect he desires. To challenge the opposition to unseat him just because he is momentarily higher in the polls is dumb beyond belief. If Mulroney and his cohorts think Harper can win a majority in the House next time around simply by blaming the opposition for causing the election, they do not remember Humpty Dumpty’s big faux pas last year. I sincerely hope that next week holds a very bad day for many nasty political Maritimers who have kissed Upper Canadian fat fancy arses for years. It has always been Hard Times in the Maritimes and it is their fault. N’est Pas?Time will tell the tale. Right now I can only wish that my efforts help knock Jumping Jimmy Flaherty out of his new jump boots and into the Newfy, Crosbie’s old mukluks from 1979. With any luck at all Luc Lavoie will not be so lucky anymore. He and all the other all clucking Conservatives will start singing for more Tequila from Sheila as Dominic LeBlanc learns how to play his Daddy’s kazoo. As I look towards the horizon in the direction of far off Upper Canada, I will dream of Petey Baby MacKay and his very punky hunky dory sinking beneath the waves of bullshit that has kept him afloat for years. There is no denying that I will chuckle as I imagine his very nasty ex sweetyfart Belinda Baby picking up the phone and calling Magna Entertainment’s Yankee VP Argeo P. Cellucci and its General Counsel Don Amos. Her Big Daddy Franky may want to rip them new arseholes for in order to shove each other’s head into. Clearly they did not do a good job protecting the interests of Stronach’s publicly held company from one pigheaded Maritimer who is serious gambling man in the big game called New World Order. I am still gambling that there is no honour amongst thieves and somebody will blink in order to protect their own butt. I too am wondering and ain’t betting on the ethics of any politician. For instance only a fool would bet on the ethics of Andre Arthur the Independent MP and if he will quit being as quiet as a mouse in the House. If the government goes down, I doubt he will get elected again. He had his chance to do the right thing just as Chucky Cadman did years ago. The Yankee midterm election is the biggest game in the world right now. Ask my Clan’s Senator Teddy Kennedy. JI will wager that I do know why nobody wants to talk to or about me. The dark horse in this game is the one who will blink, when and where. Knowing who won’t say a word is easy. Strangely predicting who may be honest is tough. How sad is that? For instance Senator Kinsella’s malice against me was a nobrainer. I expected it about as much as that he would vote for Lynch in Fredericton. On the other hand Andre Arthur had no ethical reason whatsoever to ignore me particularly after reading things he has said in the past. His recent appointment to oversee the CRTC proves to me that he is a crooked as Hell. He must have known he was finally free from all the lawyers that had once chastised him in the past. They cannot hold him accountable for whatever he says in the House to a nationwide audience as an MP like they once did when he spoke on local radio. The chickenshit, Andre Arthur may be laying back and waiting for just the right point in time to start clucking into the Parliamentary record to make history in his own best interests. I don’t know. Nor do I care if he has a plan or is just holding to a backroom deal. I do know when we talked on the phone months ago, I could tell that he did not have any balls at all. The silence of a former big talking talk show host from Quebec spoke volumes to me months ago about why that Frenchman won’t mingle with the media he now oversees. His appointment to the committee that oversees the very dudes who once tortured him, stinks of backroom deal and a political payoff to me.All Andre Arthur or anyone else in the House had to do this month or in the years before was to have the sand to stand up and ask the Speaker in a question period on the record simply state the following. "Who the Hell is David Raymond Amos and what the Hell is talking about?" There I even wrote the script for him just in case he or anyone sprouts some testicles real soon. If anyone acts like an ethical Parliamentarian, it will be Rob Moore’s task to explain my affairs to the House. I will lay odds that if Andre Arthur or anyone else were certain that they could profit rather than suffer from such few words, they would. love to make history and become the hero who saved Democracy for us all.Nobody will talk to me for the same reason Arthur is silent to everyone else. It is based in political deceit. Justice is always a matter of political will rather than the way that it should be. I am just wise enough to know I can be the most effective in finding a little justice when the political process is flux. Bernie Shapiro’s office and that of his fellow crook, Jean Fournier’s have denied receiving anything of mine from Andre Arthur or Noel Kinsella. That makes me understand that I am on the right track this time. When Shapiro’s office called me last year, they were nervous campers after I had made Parliament uphold an act and give Fournier a job so that I could complain to him about Senator Joe Day. The far from ethical parliamentary counselors are quite likely hiding under a rug somewhere in the House and praying Baird’s Accountability Act replaces them soon. Shapiro and Fournier are just playing dumb while waiting to duck out the back and scurry into the sunset with unearned severance pays in their purses. Once they are all out of public service, they will become just a few more paragraphs to me in a future complaint against many individuals out of public service I plan to sue. The rats abandoning Humpty Dumpty’s boat like David Dingwall and Howie Wilson should offend anyone with half a mind. Most ordinary folks have all but forgotten the Dingwall affair but I doubt most did not even know who the dude Howie Wilson was or how he assisted Landslide Annie in making Humpty Dumpty’s doings with Tainted Blood disappear on everyone else’s watch but mine. Does anyone but me remember where the bad blood came from and who made the deal with whom? I do. This brings me to why I find the Bloc so interesting these days. I know Ducceppe is a crooked as the rest but some other Bloc may want to fill his shoes. Humpty Dumpty’s loss was a given, to me. The loss of the Bloc and the Conservative gain was a surprise to everyone. It would be truly comical if their leader, Ducceppe were to act ethically on my behalf after all these years. It is not beyond the realms of possibility that he could be the next PM if the Bloc had the majority next time around. The other parties could be so decimated by his integrity that maybe a legion of Independents would inhabit the House. Less of a pipe dream would be that perhaps the Bloc could get the ten seats in Quebec from the Conservatives and truly make the Liberal history as well. C’est Vrai?I know what I just stated seems crazy but think about it for a minute. Ignore what crooked liberals such as the local talk show host, Tom Young may say of me being a nut. He retracted "the fool for a client spiel" in another matter when it suited his political agenda. He knows I was not nuts in my predictions about picking Speakers, the Tanker Malley affair or wiretap tapes too. Young was not wise to challenge a man such as I to sue him on live radio. I ain’t that foolish not to sue Jennifer Warren and Rogers Media J. Whatever liberals such as Young and his cohorts in Rogers say about me negative or otherwise on the radio almost two years later is gravy after I had made my mission known byway of his own program. I openly declared that it was my Securities Fraud issues that should most concern my fellow Maritimers. Soon it is my turn to fall silent in the text of this letter anyway. However before I do become truly silent you may wish to know that some of you will receive this letter in your email and see it posted on the Internet at about the same time the budget vote becomes history. I cannot give you time to run political damage control. I have long understood your wicked game of hear, no evil, see no evil and speak no evil for your own benefit and not the people you claim to serve. I know that the things like Freedom and Justice that lawyers claim are so important in a Democracy are merely myths. Bankers and lawyers know as well as I that Freedom does not have prayer because Justice is bought and sold everyday to the highest bidder in the marketplace and the courts. Money is all the beancounters care about as they count the percentage points of gain and lawyers follow suit in their fees for assisting in the malice against us all. The corrupt Yankees that you people support have taught me a lot about how to deal with many crooked Canadians. The answer is simple. Make Justice a matter of political will particularly in a time of War.Now that we all understand the wicked game, why mince words anymore? I am raising the stakes and laying some more of my cards on table before I summons you all to court. You do not have much time to decide if I am bluffing or not. Lets just say I have no doubt whatsoever why the blog in CTV W5 website was deleted recently after it had stood for almost a year. I save all blogs long before they are lost in cyber space. The words of the one within CTV’s W5 domain that was erased for the benefit of CIBC John Manley and the Thomson dudes will resurface somewhere else on the Internet in short order. Hard copy of the aforesaid blog and many others will be presented in various courts someday. Dempsey the lawyer, who has since fallen silent had apparently filed a complaint in BC about what anybody who has studied the banking profession knows to be true. Wise guys know the root of all evil is not exactly money but Filthy Lucre, the words that King James employed just once. Gain of control over the land is the name of the game. Money is just a clever paper tool that is based on nothing at all. The idea of money in the form of a banknote that is no longer based on gold but debt was invented and controlled by bankers and the same holds true for the notion of religion invented the banker’s cohorts the Roman who turned into priests of one god. It is money I must attack and seek because it is what the lawyers who made the rules for the benefit of bankers and priests claim I must do in order to play their wicked game. I did so out of the gate years ago. If you bother to check my work you will see that I employed my right to have the freedom to have no religion at all to attack what the smiling bastards hold most dear, their money.The law is clear in matters of money and beancounters rely on such laws. It is against the law for a trustee to give money he holds in trust to any charity on his own accord. For a well-respected old lawyer to assist an ex FBI agent in his wrongs against the terms of a trust and without the knowledge and accent of the beneficiaries is interesting to say the least. To steal it and give it to a church that the beneficiaries have no faith in is particularly offensive especially when the Cardinal’s secretary is the offended person’s cousin. When I exposed to the Feds the fact that the crooks had also hid some of the stolen funds in a bank account in the name of a person whose estate was long closed, things got really bad. The people who are supposed to enforce the law turned against me for the benefit of crooked bankers. It took me awhile to understand why the Feds were behaving so poorly. The reason was all the pension funds of government employees controlled by Putnam Investments and the fact that they owned half of the Brookline Savings Bank, another publicly held company.Perhaps you dudes should read the fine print of the whistleblower form 211 that I filled out many years ago. Whereas bankers and priests employ many puppets in the form of politicians, lawyers, cops and priests to play their deadly game of World Control for them, it is the puppets I must deal with day to day. However I always knew who were sending the people to act against me. Bankers invented money and the miserable bastards known as Jesuits invented lawyers. Correct? The real nature of the wicked game is World Control or New World Order just as the carpetbaggers named Bush love to say. Before you dare to call me a liar, have the local liberal lawyer Dominic Leblanc and non elected Cabinet Minister Michael Fortier study the material I just sent to them. It is the same material Franky Boy McKenna, Deborah Alexander of the Scotia Bank and Petey Baby MacKay from Nova Scotia for example got back in 2004. As I said in the CTV blog it is just the tip of the iceberg.JWhat I have just delivered in hand to the bankers and Bill Casey is different material than the liberals have ever received from me. Find the email within this material that the General Counsel of Bell Canada, Martine Turcotte sent me in 2004 and you will see that Bell Canada spent three days printing my files off the web. They still did not have it all by a long shot. Ask the serial killer and his cohorts the Feds about that simple fact. As I said earlier in this letter now that the Stevey Boy Harper, a lapdog for the Bush regime has shown all Canadians that his nasty arse is flying too high, it is high time that someone gives it a boot ASAP. I will take license and employ some of Franky Boy McKenna’s choice of words.The only hope I see on the horizon in far off Parliament Hill to see that that our democracy is served can be found within the personal greed of members of the Bloc Quebecois. Yet that is the very party that wants to break up our country. Thus I think that what I see must be a mirage to give me false hope. All Canadians can see the Liberals are wandering around lost in the far from deserted halls of the House with no leader in sight. The Liberals crippled up old German Shepherd wants to talk to high school kids and the media in the Maritimes about the future of the liberal party but the kids and nobody else seems to care about Humpty Dumpty anymore. Everybody wants to talk to the Conservatives and they won’t talk to anybody unless Karl Rove and Derek Burney first bless the script. The annoying arsekissing terrier and boss of the NDP Jacky Jackass Layton is truly irrelevant. He has lost all credibility. Ask yourselves why the yapping little terrier is not willing to give the Conservatives the boot as he claims he did with the Liberals last year. Even Layton ‘s old buddy Bob Rae has quit the NDP and joined his old college roommate’s liberal crowd of wealthy thieves. Rae wants to lead liberals out of the desert for selfish reasons of his own. The first thing Rae, a pal of Landslide Annie bragged of on CTV the morning he announced he was running for leader was of his work within the Security Intelligence Review Committee. It seems he has chosen to forget my emails to him or the phone conversation we had late in the week before. I know Rae knows that Marion McGrath, the General Counsel of the SIRC has refused to do her god damned job just like Franky Boy’s old lieutenant Adleea Landry does. Because of that Bob Rae felt free pat to his own back about the work he did with the SIRC?Marion MacGrath and many others whose names can be found within the enclosed documents have forever proven to me the malice of all politically appointed public servants. The cop, Dean Buzza of the arm of the RCMP known as IMET really pissed me off in March. I defy anyone to try to talk to the crooked lawyer, Paul Kennedy about him. IMET was created within a week or so of Ashcroft meeting with Easter in November of 2003. Amongst a host of public servants that know all too well what I say is true and ignore the law for personal gain is Rick Hancox and his cohorts within the New Brunswick Securities Commission. They are just like the lawyers of the Public Service Integrity Office, sneaky Howard Wilson, Bernard Shapiro, Jean T. Fournier and Paul Kennedy of the Public Complaints Against the RCMP crowd. All these people are worse than useless as tits on a bull. They are crooks. They should be fired and prosecuted immediately. At the very least the malicious public servants are definitely not entitled to severance pay a la David Dingwall.There are many honest Canadians in the Maritimes looking for work. They could be hired to replace the corrupt politically appointed bureaucrats we have now. I am part of that public these bureaucrats etc are supposed to serve. I am also one of those over fifty folks that the CARP50 dudes hustle about where to invest our money. If the Cop Dean Buzza and his cohorts in IMET who had talked to CARP had done their job while I was running for a seat in Parliament and truly investigated the spike in Income Trust trading, many a banker etc would have had their panties in a knot for months. Instead the cops hush the CARP dudes up for the benefit of Rotten Ralphy Goodale and his banker buddies? Furthermore the far west Conservative M.K. Braaton deletes my words about Income Trusts from his blog after he allowed a Yankee Deputy Dog to attack my rep while running for a seat against his cohorts? Harper who claims Maritime roots and yet calls us defeatists has done a little service for all Canadians and unseated the wealthy corrupt liberals. More importantly he has proven in a timely fashion that he living is up to the Maritimer, Frank Boy’s description of him when he had a fine breakfast out west with the fancy former Minister of Finance two years ago. A true Maritimer who will never admit defeat has given many bankers who have a lot to lose fair warning that they should not side with Harper against me. JPrior to printing this letter I will await the results of the budget vote. Just in case someone in the Bloc suprises me with a display of ethics. Yesterday and today I called many members of various entities known as Conservatives, Liberals, NDP, Bloc, US Congress, RCMP, FBI, CSIS, SRIC, the Fredericton Police Dept and New Brunswick Police Commission etc for the last time and waited one more day for someone honest to call me back. Nobody did and nobody ever will. Here is my humble opinion for what it is worth to the deaf ears of Upper Canadian bankers. Ed Clark should fire his new Deputy Chair of the TD Financial Group and his lawyer Chris Montague ASAP for the benefit of TD Bank’s shareholders. Lawyers and politicians are far easier to replace than repairing a bank’s damaged reputation. The same goes for the CIBC, John Manley and E. Jennifer Warren and of course the RBC and David Allgood.Yea I know I am dreaming but at least you can never say that you did not know before I send the text of this letter in a email everywhere I can think of. That said guess who just played you all like fiddle? I not only made you litigants against me in my sad complaints but I may make this letter the introduction for a book that I have been writing for years. It is called "Pro Se Once Removed" as named in the first complaint that I ever filed. It is not a bad piece of work for a layman but I am far more proud of the second complaint I filed. I have not shown it to anyone other than litigants against me. It is a very rare Prima Facia complaint about legal malpractice that any lawyer should study. It has caused several Bills to be inspired in a very corrupt Yankee Statehouse. Thomson dudes should query it sometime. Two courts in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts must keep it in the public record forever. The matters began and ended in Dedham MA, hometown of Sumner Redstone and the stomping grounds of his old Harvard Law School pal, Charles J. Kickham Jr., my wife’s evil cousin. The matters were delayed and dismissed over a year after my opposition to Cardinal Law’s motion to dismiss was destroyed after the cases were removed illegally and doctored in federal court without any hearing whatsoever.Clark Kent Irvin, the former Inspector General of the Department of Homeland Security should know all about Truth Justice and the American Way. Ask him if US District Court docket # 02-CV-11686-RGS or Norfolk Superior Court docket # 02 01113 are worth checking out. I legally signed the complaint in my wife’s name as her attorney in fact after she had suffered a breakdown because of the wrongful actions against her by her kin and the justice system over mere matters of money. The Yankee Court accepted the sad complaint and filed in the last hour of work before July 4th, 2002. Within weeks I gave the US Secretary of State his copy byway of the Ambassador Argeo P. Cellucci to remind Yankees why their forefathers rebelled against the Crown (No taxation without proper representation). The rest is history.Now that I have chucked my wrench, I must deal with a far more important matter I have at hand. Whereas my family needs a roof over their heads, I looked around to see which Maritime crooks live handy to where I’m camped right now. I decided there are Three Stooges in each big party that I should sue soon. To the left I see the easiest of all, Whining Wayne Easter. Landslide Annie confirmed her pal’s malice towards me during the 37th Parliament. Franky Boy McKenna is the very political banker/lawyer who worked against me in the USA under the mandate of the 38th Parliament for the benefit of Yankee banks. Plus he really pissed me off when he had too much fun with my G.A.L. while my wife and kids were in the streets around Beantown. Franky Boy’s old pal Andy Scot is a close tie with the Newfy Bad Boy Billy Matthews as the dumbest and nastiest of all Maritime Parliamentarians. It is the failure of the NDP and the Conservatives that they sit in the 39th Parliament today. To the right, are Rob Moore, Greg Thompson and Bill Casey for reasons I already explained. These Maritime Stooges have properties to fill the bill of my Clan’s needs. I will sue them along with my G.A.L., Bixby’s law firm in Canada in order to seek some immediate relief from the wrongs. I love teasing hostile laymen with a temper. Thus Wayne Easter and Greg Thompson will be a lot of fun in court. Ask the goddamned biblepounders Cardinal Law or Pat Robertson’s song and dance man Johnny Never Been Good Ashcroft why I love to argue lawyers.Canadian lawyers should consider the following. Whereas the Crown stood with the USA and the Holy See against me it has caused the Queen to lose Sovereign Immunity in the USA on two counts. As soon as I crossed an international border with the former Governor General’s blessings in hand and into a Yankee jail, all MPs should have paid attention. Instead they ignored the fact I was held under the charges of "other" before Clarkson made her last Speech from the Throne to allow the 38th Parliament to begin. JThis is no conspiacy theory as liberal talk show hosts like to suggest. You are looking at hard copy of the proof of what I say is true. clearly before I went into the Yankee jail, I had notified many Canadian authorities and my Yankee lawyer etc that my US Mail to the Canadian Consulate in Boston had been blocked and directed elsewhere and that my Canadian Mail to the General Counsel of the RCMP had disappeared. That is Mail Fraud practised by two governments of two countries on the same day in order to cover up a conspiracy against me. The Canadian Consulate finally did come to visit me in jail after a few days with prodding from my friends and relatives but my Yankee lawyer friend never did. The Canadian public servants were bearing hard copy of more false allegations that have since disappeared from the public record. I told the Consulate off and went back to my cell and said Bingo to myself. The nut of Sovereign Immunity in regards to the Crown, the Holy See and the USA was cracked not once but twice in October of 2004. You hold the proof in your hands. Call me crazy and put it in writing in fact, I Double Dog Dare Ya To.In closing I confess I have no false illusions. Any man with half a mind has understood for years why I must prosecute matters Pro Se. Ethical lawyers and politicians do not exist. They created the myth called Justice to suit their own selfish ends. I have no doubt whatsoever the weight of a corrupt justice system will try hard to smother my complaints. I expect all you to maintain standard operating procedure and ignore me as our government acts wrongfully on your behalf. I also know some common men like me will not. Some of us vote and invest money too. Some of us know our rights and interests are bought and sold on Yankee stock markets everyday for the benefit of crooks that ignore the public trust. Some of us are broke and can’t vote but are fierce political animals when the evils of longstanding governments are insufferable. It is not only our right but it is our duty to do so. I also know that many Canadians were raised to Hate War and are proud that much of the World recognizes us as Peacekeepers. Even the dumb as a post Stevey Boy Harper, a Canadian lapdog of the Yankee moron, George W. Bush and the Yankee Norfolk County Sheriff and his equally dumb Deputy Dog, Robert F. O’Meara must know at least that.Cya’ll in Court JVeritas VincitDavid Raymond AmosPO Box 234Apohaqui, NB E5P 3G2
