U.S. President Donald Trump displays the $1.5 trillion tax overhaul package he signed a year ago which included a repatriation tax that has hit thousands of Canadian residents. (Evan Vucci/Associated Press)
There are believed to be hundreds of thousands of people with U.S. citizenship living and working across Canada. They include "accidental Americans" who didn't realize until recently that the fact they were born in a hospital across the border, or to an American parent, meant that they were also supposed to file U.S. tax returns.
That started to change in 2010 when the U.S adopted the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA). The legislation, adopted to crack down on offshore tax evasion, requires banks and financial institutions around the world to report to the U.S. government the assets of customers who may be Americans for tax purposes.
In Canada, the banks report that information to the Canada Revenue Agency, which then transfers it to the U.S. The Canadian government has defended the banking record-sharing deal, saying it avoids the prospect of Washington trying to enforce American law in Canada.
In late January, the Federal Court of Canada is scheduled to hear a challenge of the constitutionality of that agreement.
Holding's bill, if it passes, could make life easier for many Canadian residents with U.S. citizenship in the future. But it would do little to help thousands of Canadian residents with U.S. or dual citizenship and a company incorporated in Canada who were hit with massive tax bills as a result of the sweeping tax reform U.S. President Donald Trump signed into law a year ago.
Buried in the 1,097-page Tax Cuts and Jobs Act was a "repatriation tax" intended to stop big U.S. multinationals like Google and Apple from parking profits in foreign subsidiaries to avoid paying billions in U.S. tax.
However, it also created a legal and accounting nightmare for thousands of Canadian residents, such as small business owners, farmers, doctors, dentists, lawyers and others with incorporated companies. The one-time retroactive tax was levied on all of the retained earnings in companies going back to 1986.
Some of those particularly hard-hit had been using their companies to save for retirement. Many have spent the past year grappling with tax bills that total hundreds of thousands of dollars.
![]()
Kevyn Nightingale, a partner in the MNP accounting firm, says professionals have been trying to find ways to mitigate the impact the U.S. repatriation tax is having on their clients. Because Trump signed it into law in the dying days of 2017, the bill applied to the 2017 tax year — even though the IRS and the Treasury Department had not yet issued guidelines on how the tax was to be applied.
Many of those affected are also facing a second tax going forward: the Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income (GILTI) tax. The tax, which will start in the 2018 tax year, will apply to profits made each year by a corporation outside the U.S. owned by someone with American citizenship.
Many accountants and tax professionals advised their clients to delay filing until the last
moment — Dec. 15 — in the hopes that the U.S. would change the rules or lobbying attempts would be successful.
"We have a lot of unhappy clients out there," said Kevyn Nightingale, a partner with MNP's tax services group in Toronto.
Monte Silver, a Canadian-born U.S. tax lawyer based in Israel, has been helping lobby the U.S. government and raise money to fund a U.S. court challenge of the tax reform.
However, he said U.S. officials appear focused on the impact of the repatriation tax on big corporations, and indifferent to the situation of Americans living outside the U.S.
"The issue here is not expats," he said. "We're just an insignificant little fly to them."
To date, there has been little sign of the Canadian government doing very much to help people caught in the cross-border predicament.

Records obtained by CBC News under the access to information act reveal that Finance Minister Bill Morneau's officials have discussed the impact the U.S. repatriation tax is having in Canada behind closed doors. (Chris Wattie/Reuters)In August, Finance Minister Bill Morneau told reporters that the Canadian government had raised the issue of the impact the retroactive repatriation tax was having on Canadian residents.
Finance department documents, obtained by CBC News through Canada's access to information law, show that a top Finance official, Brian Ernewein, did raise the issue on May 11, 2018 in a call with Chip Harter of the U.S. Treasury Department
"I took the opportunity of a call this morning with U.S. Treasury's Chip Harter to raise the point that we're hearing a lot about the issue of the repatriation tax applying to U.S. citizens residing in Canada," Ernewein wrote in a heavily redacted document.
"This is where we left it, with plans to discuss a bit further when we see each other next week in Vancouver."
The Finance department records also reveal that at least one provincial government has raised the issue with the federal Department of Finance.
In a letter dated March 7, New Brunswick's deputy finance minister wrote to federal deputy Finance minister Paul Rochon outlining her concerns.
"Allowing the recent U.S. tax reform rules to deplete the financial resources of Canadian corporations owned by Canadian residents, even those who are also American citizens, will greatly impact both the short term and long term investment plans of Canadian businesses," Nicole Picot wrote.
Reached this week, Pierre-Olivier Herbert, spokesman for Morneau, said "Finance officials will continue to engage with their U.S. counterparts to ensure they are aware of the negative impact on U.S. citizens abroad."

Government Province's pay list highlights earnings gap between
officials and ordinary NBers
A1
QUENTIN CASEY
TELEGRAPH-JOURNAL
FREDERICTON - Monday's release of annual government compensation
highlights the growing gap between the average New Brunswick worker
and provincial officials and appointees, says the Canadian Taxpayers
Federation, warning there is a fine line between fair and "obscene"
government wages.
A listing of government salaries for 2007 reveals there are thousands
of provincial employees who are making far more than the average New
Brunswick income, which is $28,450, according to Statistics Canada.
Take the 2,500 employees at NB Power, the province's public electric
utility. At the top sits president and CEO David Hay with a 2007
salary of between $325,000 and $350,000.
The government releases only pay ranges to protect the privacy of its
employees and appointees.
In all, the utility had close to 500 employees making more than
$100,000, including 42 making in excess of $150,000. More than 900
employees made between $75,000 and $100,000.
Most of those employees ranged from nuclear engineers to
vice-presidents to lawyers and accountants.
Other notable provincial salaries include: John Sinclair, head of the
New Brunswick Investment Management Corporation (which oversees public
service pensions), who was paid between $475,000 and $500,000.
James Scott, also with the Investment Management Corporation, pulled
in between $300,000 and $325,000.
Donne Smith, head of the New Brunswick Securities Commission, made
between $175,000 and $200,000.
As well, Elizabeth Weir, president of the province's energy efficiency
unit (and former leader of the provincial NDP) made between $125,000
and $150,000.
Bernard Richard, the province's ombudsman and child and youth advocate
earned in the range of $200,000 to $225,000.
The head of the province's liquor corporation, longtime Liberal
strategist Dana Clendenning, made somewhere between $125,000 and
$150,000.
Maurice Robichaud, the deputy minister in charge of government
communications, pulled in between $100,000 and $125,000.
And Premier Shawn Graham landed a total compensation of $125,740.
Kevin Gaudet, of the Taxpayers Federation, applauds the government for
releasing such figures, but says they illustrate a troubling trend.
"These lists always reveal that working for government appears to be a
ticket to the good life, but it shouldn't be," he said.
"There's a substantial, and growing, gap between private and public
compensation. The average taxpayer gets agitated by the recognition of
just how lucrative it is to work for government.
"No one suggests they shouldn't be paid fairly, but at what point does
fairness start to get obscene?"
Charles Cirtwill, of the Atlantic Institute for Market Studies, a
think tank, says most of the salary ranges are unsurprising. Nuclear
engineers, he noted as an example, have to be compensated properly.
But, he says, the salary levels show the province is caught in a tough
spot: how to cut costs while remaining competitive with wages?
According to Cirtwill, the government must be willing to share the
pain between both those on the high and low end of the government pay
scale.
"They can no longer afford to run government as they used to," he said.
"This is the harsh reality that governments are going to be facing.
They need to take a serious look at government spending. They're going
to have to start making hard choices about things they want to stop
doing."
Other notable salaries include a host of government officers who made
between $125,000 and $150,000.
Those include Michel Carrier, the commissioner of official languages;
Loredana Catalli-Sonier, clerk of the legislative assembly; Michael
Ferguson, the auditor general; Ronald Godin, the consumer advocate for
insurance; and Annise Hollies, the chief electoral officer.
Most provincial judges made between $200,000 and $225,000 in 2007.
Deputy ministers made in the range of $100,000 to $150,000.
The total salary and allowances for cabinet ministers was around
$105,000, while MLAs earned about $65,000 in pay and allowances.
Bernard Theriault, the premier's chief of staff and a former Liberal
MLA, made in the range of $125,000-$150,000.
Nicole Picot, the premier's director of communications, and Joan
Kingston, his principal secretary, made between $100,000 and $125,000.

Fair use
"You will have to suffer the consequences, just like everybody else."
-Scott Agnew,
Web Services Manager
CanadaEast Interactive
Wow. What a bad-ass.
This is too hilarious:
http://tinyurl.com/2f7kao
Oh man.
The "Irving Empire," here exemplified (sp.?) by no-nonsense web
employee Scott Agnew, is many things, but I had no reason to believe-
until now- that petty was one of them.
What do you call it when the billion-dollar company that owns every
newspaper in the province, goes after an unpaid blogger on the
internet for something this utterly inconsequential?
Please, whoever, this Agnew guy's boss is, for the sake of Irving's
good public image in this province: rein him in now.
Petty. Petty. Petty.
But what of the merits of the case? Will Google actually pull
LeBlanc's blogger account? Maybe. Who knows. I would think not.
Has LeBlanc done something 'unlawful' as Mr. Agnew alleges?
Of course not.
Bloggers often talk about the Fair Use doctrine in US law, as a
defense against copyright infringement,
(http://www.chillingeffects.
LeBlanc's commenters have pointed out, usually when you quote small
paragraphs of a published work, and you're sued, you can argue Fair
Use and get away with it.
But there are several factors that determine Fair or unfair Use (in US
Law at least), beyond how big of a chunk you copy:
FACTOR 1: THE PURPOSE AND CHARACTER OF THE USE This factor considers
whether the use helps fulfill the intention of copyright law to stimulate
creativity for the enrichment of the general public. The defendant
must show how
a use either advances knowledge or the progress of the arts
through the addition
of something new. The more transformative the use, the more likely
it is to be
fair, whereas if defendant merely reproduces plaintiff's work
without putting it
to a transformative use, the less likely this use will be held to be fair.
Further, the more commercial defendant's use, the less likely such
use will be
fair.
FACTOR 2: THE NATURE OF THE COPYRIGHTED WORK The more creative, and
less purely factual, the copyrighted work, the stronger its
protection. In order
to prevent the private ownership of work that rightfully belongs
in the public
domain, facts and ideas are separate from copyright—only their particular
expression or fixation merits such protection. Second, if a
copyrighted work is
unpublished, it will be harder to establish that defendant's use
of it was fair.
See Salinger v. Random House, Inc., 650 F. Supp. 413 (S.D.N.Y.
1986), and in New
Era Publications Int'l v. Henry Holt & Co., 695 F. Supp. 1493 (S.D.N.Y.
1988). One commentator noted that "the original author's interest
in controlling
the circumstances of the first public revelation of his work, and
his right, if
he so chooses, [is to not] publish at all." While some argue that legal
protection of unpublished works should come from the law of
privacy rather than
the law of copyright, Congress amended the Fair Use doctrine to
explicitly note,
"The fact that a work is unpublished shall not itself bar a
finding of fair use
if such finding is made upon consideration of all the above factors."
FACTOR 3: THE AMOUNT AND SUBSTANTIALITY OF THE PORTION DEFENDANT USED In
general, the less of the copyrighted work that is used, the more
likely the use
will be considered fair. If, however, the defendant copied nearly
all of, or the
heart of, the copyrighted work, his or her use is less likely to
be considered
fair. See Harper & Row, Publishers, Inc. v. Nation Enters., 471 U.S. 539
(1985).
FACTOR 4: THE EFFECT OF DEFENDANT'S USE ON THE POTENTIAL MARKET OF THE
COPYRIGHTED WORK This factor is generally held to be the most
important factor.
See Harper & Row, Publishers, Inc. v. Nation Enters., 471 U.S. 539 (1985).
This factor considers the effect that the defendant's use has on
the copyright
owner's ability to exploit his or her original work. The court will consider
whether the use is a direct market substitute for the original
work. The court
may also consider whether harm to a potential market exists. The
burden of proof
here rests on the defendant for commercial uses, but on the
copyright owner for
noncommercial uses. See Sony Corp. v. Universal City Studios, 464
U.S. 417, 451
(1984). It is important to note that courts recognize that some
market harm may
come from fair uses such as parodies or negative reviews, but that
such market
harm does not militate against a finding of fair use.
Charles did indeed re-publish an entire story or two from a newspaper
on his blog (Factor 3), strike one for Charles, but he didn't make any
money from doing so (Factor 1) and he had no effect whatsoever on the
market in which the newspaper makes it's money (Factor 4).
I think a case could easily be made for a judge to laugh this out of
any court, and an equally strong case for us all to laugh and point
fingers of derision at Scott Agnew.

Pick a lane
(crossposted to CanadaEast)
Whenever I am driving in Montreal or Toronto, I often find myself
yelling "pick a lane" at some of my more aggressive and less logical
fellow drivers.
My advice to Jeannot Volpé is similar.
Much as he did this spring during the legislative sitting, rather than
picking one or two or three major issues and focussing on them and
making an effective critique of the government, his reaction to the
recent cabinet shuffle was unfocussed and made him look bitter and
overly negative when he could have used the opportunity to make some
political hay.
The cabinet shuffle had a number of areas that could have been seen as
flaws. No one likes to see more politicians at the top, and the
cabinet has two extra members. Women are way under represented and
that didn't improve with this shuffle. Volpé ignored those points.
Volpé criticized one area that makes sense - a floor crosser being
included in the cabinet - but then couldn't resist himself and threw
his credibility out the window in going way off track.
Rather than make an arguments about democracy, he went on a rant about
how Tories were mad, Liberal backbenchers would revolt and how the
dirty rat would never be re-elected. How about: "Crossing the floor is
an affront to democracy and an insult to voters. Shawn Graham should
never have justified this action by admitting these people into his
caucus and certainly shouldn't have rewarded it by putting one of them
into his cabinet"? That is a reasonable criticism that would resonate
with people, but with Volpé, it has to become petty and personal.
Then he makes up some nonsense about how this cabinet shuffle is an
insult to Francophone New Brunswickers because Hédard Albert and
Carmel Robichaud were "demoted". Huh? All cabinet ministers are equal
at the cabinet table and even if they weren't, the argument doesn't
make sense.
Albert moves from a department focussed on the machinations of
government whose primary role is to negotiate labour agreements with
the civil service under the close watch and direction of the premier
and finance minister to a ministry which has been touted by the
premier as a top priority.
Robichaud moves to an admittedly smaller department in terms of budget
but one which requires close relationships with the province's 103
municipalities during a period when the province is talking about
substantial change to municipal governance. These don't sound like
demotions to me. In Albert's case, it would seem a promotion and in
Robichaud's case it is, at least, a lateral move if not actually a
promotion as well.
Why the Tories are waiting until next fall to pick a leader I will
never figure out. Jeannot Volpé is the best thing that has happened to
the Liberal Party of New Brunswick in a generation!

Yes sir, its the world against David Amos. Must be tough to have

Charles Leblanc is often accused of being a kook but compared to
David Amos, Charles is a Rhodes Scholar and epitome of class.
Delete the off topic rant above NBPolitico. Otherwise, it just
gives him an audience for his rants and tirades that have nothing to

I think both of the above are true, and I've said that in Charles
blog. When I gave him the camera it wasn't for the intention that he
take pictures on the sidewalk of people in suits and call them names.
They MAY deserve names, but that seemed a big judgment (to his credit
he doesn't do that much anymore and there's no doubt in my mind that
the poor suffer plenty at the hands of bureaucracy).
The critics of Charles have a hard time because its pretty well
known that Charles serves a valuable, if not INvaluable
service-despite the craziness.
Charles has proved just how easy it is to organize people (sort
of), whats surprising is that no groups have taken advantage of that.
If the NDP or the Green Party or even just individuals in those
parties had a blog like Charles, or better yet a podcast or hell even
a television show on youtube then I think we'd something really
interesting in New Brunswick. The fact nobody does, says a lot about
the organizations in the province.
I think if Charles were a member of an organization, or even had
an editor that he would be FAR more effective, so in that way I can
understand the people who lash out at him, because so many CAN"T do
what he does. A couple of years ago when he was just talking about
residential tenants act and the poor you didn't see nearly the number
of negative posts-but perhaps that was because there were fewer
viewers.
Charles will probably read this but he knows its just criticism of
his tactics. I think had he played it differently, he would be allowed
in the legislature right now. But thats just opinion, and people are
free to do what they want. I agree with the above, Irving goes after
him because hes so prominent, but he also does tread on copyright-so
there's validity to both criticisms.
He certainly doesn't give bloggers a bad name, any blogger worth
his salt would love to be that prominent-and effective (many of
Charles most aggregious posts seem specifically designed to piss off
the usual crowd of critics). But there's no doubt his 'journalistic
ethics' keep him marginalized. Unlike other media though, Charles has
shown that he does listen to criticism and 'self censors' much more
than people give him credit for. I've talked to Charles and heard many
of the things that 'don't make it into print', and Charles is MORE
than generous with his 'rants and slanders'.
Charles does often 'sound crazy', but those who call him so miss
one seemingly central truth- SOCIETY is crazy, politics most of all.

Parents unsure where to enrol children after release of
French-language report
Last Updated: Thursday, February 28, 2008 | 9:29 AM AT
CBC News
New Brunswick parents are waiting to hear whether the government
will be following up on a commission's recommendation to eliminate
early French immersion in the province.
Education Minister Kelly Lamrock said Wednesday that the
government has not yet decided on the commission's 18 recommendations,
but the idea of a universal, intensive French learning experience
appeals to him.
"I'm pro-bilingualism, and I think French is a fundamental
competency and bilingualism is a fundamental competency and therefore,
I like the idea of teaching it to everybody to the best of our
ability," Lamrock said.
The government will be waiting to see how New Brunswickers react
to the report and examining what resources would be needed to
implement its recommendations before making any decisions, said the
minister.
If any of the recommendations are accepted this spring, changes
could be made to the education system for September, he said.
New French program would begin in Grade 5
There's been weeks of uncertainty for parents who have been trying
to decide whether to enrol their children into French immersion or the
core French program while waiting for the report to be released, said
Jane Keith, executive director of the New Brunswick branch of Canadian
Parents for French.
Send them to haiti keith.

Newspaper war: Now I'm laughing
Oh man, there's a story in the Carleton Free Press, or rather a
"publishers note" that claims to have caught the Bugle-Observer in
something of a circulation scandal!
hahaha!
Basically, the story says that the B-O wrote "5100 COPIES VERIFIED" at
the top of their front page a little while ago, the implication being
that their circulation is 5100.
Then the Free Press has a photograph that shows a white board in the
Bugle-Observer office (taken during some knd of literacy event). The
white board is full of circulation numbers, and actual and projected
numbers.
The apparent actual circulation during this period was 3,753, not 5,100
pthttbtbtbtbt!!!!
*I suppose you could argue that the 5,100 copies, is the total number
of copies printed, or something, but why would you say "Verified?"
What's verified, the number of papers you print? As anyone would know,
the number of papers you print is irrelevant. It's the number of
people who read or buy them.

The Bugle Observer's circulation numbers are actually auditted by
a third party newspaper group so the number advertised would be
verifiable. The number on he whiteboard was likely just dealer copies
or home subscriber copies alone. No scandal here and Ken Langdon would
know that. He's just trying to stir things up dishonestly. Seems
dishonesty comes natural to him.

No rules broken since no rules existed, RCMP watchdog concludes
Meagan Fitzpatrick
Canwest News Service
Monday, March 31, 2008
OTTAWA - The RCMP didn't break any rules when they announced a
criminal investigation into the federal Finance Department in the
middle of the 2005-06 election campaign, because there were no clear
rules to break, concludes a report by the RCMP's watchdog.
Paul Kennedy, chair of the Commission for Public Complaints
Against the RCMP, released his findings this morning on the Mounties'
controversial launch of a criminal investigation and found that there
were no RCMP policies or guidelines to specifically address the public
release of information in "highly sensitive" situations. His report
also cleared former commissioner Giuliano Zaccardelli and RCMP senior
management of any wrongdoing.
"Given the absence of any such specific policy, procedure or
guideline, I cannot find that any RCMP officer failed to comply with
applicable standards," Kennedy said in his report.
"I concur with the RCMP that its policies, procedures and
guidelines are inadequate to address the situation wherein public
disclosure of a police investigation may have an impact upon the
democratic process and may call into question public confidence in the
independence of the police."
At a news conference in Ottawa, Kennedy noted that Zaccardelli and
some other senior RCMP members did not co-operate with his review,
which he called "inappropriate."
"It does the RCMP,_I think, a disservice to have a situation where
we have half the members co-operating and the other half not, and no
seeming rationale for it," Kennedy told reporters. He said for there
to be "truly effective civilian oversight of police in this country,"
officers should be accountable for explaining why they "did or did not
do something."
Kennedy's report comes more than two years after the original
incident that some Liberals say changed the course of the 2006
election.
In November 2005, the Liberal finance minister at the time, Ralph
Goodale, made an announcement on income trust taxation and hours
before, a spike in trading volumes and prices for income trusts and
dividend stocks caused speculation that some Bay Street traders may
have been tipped off about Goodale's news.
About a month later, a few weeks after the election campaign had
begun, the RCMP revealed they were beginning a criminal investigation
into suggestions there may have been a leak from Goodale's office.
The disclosure rocked the campaign and support for the Liberals
and leader Paul Martin virtually dropped overnight after the
investigation was announced. The Conservatives went on to win the
election in January 2006.
Questions were raised about the timing of the RCMP's announcement
- in the middle of an election campaign - and how the probe was
announced. The news was first made public in a faxed letter from the
head of the RCMP at the time, Zaccardelli, to New Democratic Party MP
Judy Wasylycia-Leis, who had called on the Mounties' to investigate.
The RCMP didn't put out a press release confirming the investigation
was underway until five days after they contacted Wasylycia-Leis.
Kennedy's report said the RCMP knew that sending a letter to
Wasylycia-Leis would lead to a public confirmation of the
investigation and that the RCMP essentially "confirmed the obvious"
when they issued the press release.
Kennedy's report noted that Zaccardelli "provided the impetus and
direction" for the letter and the press release, and he said
Zaccardelli requested that Goodale's name be included in the press
release, which the RCMP said "was not consistent with past practice."
"However, there is no evidence that Commissioner Zaccardelli
relied on any improper considerations in coming to his decision," the
report said.
Kennedy said the RCMP need to issue a specific policy to guide
future situations and outlined what he thinks it should include.
Kennedy said that during election campaigns, the RCMP_should refrain
from disclosing the existence of a criminal investigation, but he left
room for exceptions. Kennedy said various factors should be considered
and the RCMP should exercise its discretion.
"In any instance where a disclosure occurs during the electoral
process concerning participants in that process, the commissioner of
the RCMP ought to be the decision-maker," Kennedy recommended, adding
that a written record of the rationale must also be provided.
At the end of its criminal investigation in February 2007, the
RCMP exonerated Goodale and his staff but laid charges against a
bureaucrat in the tax policy branch of the Finance Department. The
Mounties said Serge Nadeau used confidential information to gain a
personal benefit when he bought securities, and he was charged with a
criminal breach of trust.
Goodale has said the investigation and the political fallout was
the worst thing he had ever endured in his long political career.

I know what I sent you lady. Are you really that dumb to think I
am that stupid to trhreat or harass anyone? I have had enough of the
malicious slander and false allegations by your hubby Scotty Baby
Agnew and his corrupt lawyers and cops plas.
FYI I had no idea whatsoever that Scotty Baby was your hubby but
rest assured I was more than delighted to find out that fact from the
legal counsel who takes to him in bed. Trust the fact that I am not
that samrt to know about Scotty Baby and you. I had not clue as to
your relationship. As I clearly stated int he emails last night I was
contacting you because of your other associates who pretend to be
concerned about French education were making fun of me bigtime
yesterday as I asked everyone and his dog if they understood the email
I sent you and them a while ago.
As soon as you made a liar out of yourself to me yesterday lady I
clearly told you that I enjoyed suing lawyers(particularly ones who
make false allegations to cover their nasty arses) and hung up because
you are a lawyer and a woman too. Such people are the first to make
bullshit criminal allegations. I was not shocked to get your malicious
response today but in fact delighted. Your relationship about Scotty
Baby was mana from heaven if there is such a place.
For the record you know as well as I that the digital evidence I
sent you is largely the same material your hubby requested last summer
as he was attacking Chucky Leblanc for the benefit of the Irving
Empire. As you two have your little pillow pow wow tonight know that I
know you both know that my documents include evidence of murder. As a
criminal lawyer you should well understand the ramifications of that
simple fact Correct? If not look it up in the Criminal Code of two
purportedly profound democracies that I am aperson of. As you can see
I have notified the Attorney General, the RCMP and the Ministers of
Public Safety and Fat Fred City's Finest about my indignation towards
your severe lack of integrity and that of your hubby. I am also having
a friend contact the RCMP on the phone on my behalf so that the RCMP
and I can discuss your malicious false allegations ASAP.
I repeat Cya'll in Court.

Mayor Ivan Court VS The Telegraph-Journal
Once again, Saint John is in the news.
Once again, it's because our loudmouth Mayor is refusing to accept
there is anything wrong (with anything) in the city.
This time, he is blaming the Telegraph-Journal for negative coverage.
While I won't deny that he is getting negative coverage, I do disagree
with the reason for it. It is not due to a grudge at the newspaper -
it's because Ivan Court is doing a poor job.
This is a Mayor who thinks it's better to build parking lots instead
of buildings, gives city staff raises for no reason, and wants to
spend massive amounts of money on a new police complex (while refusing
to admit the city's pension plan is hemorrhaging taxpayers money).
Yeah, it's the newspapers fault all right…
Here is a clip from the story:
In Monday night's council meeting, Court remarked that the
Telegraph-Journal has been increasingly negative in its coverage of
him and city hall staff over the last couple of years, so he wants to
fight back.
The mayor told councillors the next Telegraph-Journal employee he'll
speak to will be publisher Jamie Irving, and he'll do it in a
broadcast debate at a media outlet not owned by the powerful Irving
family.
Until then, he's refusing all interview requests from the paper — and
banning it from his office.
"As of today, I've asked my staff to cancel the Telegraph-Journal.
It's my first budget cut," he said. "It will save the citizens of
Saint John, from my office, $190."
The Telegraph-Journal is owned by Brunswick News Inc., which is owned
by the Irvings. The paper is distributed provincewide, but its city
section is specifically focused on Saint John and the counties of
southern New Brunswick.
The worst part about this is the fact that he will go to such lengths
to save $190, yet he does nothing when the city's Pension Plan costs
us millions of dollars - he refuses to admit that anything is wrong.
My favorite part of the article is the quotes from the
Telegraph-Journal's Editor Shawna Richer:
"The problem is not with the newspaper. The problem is with the
culture of inefficiency and sometimes questionable leadership at city
hall. And that's something that our newspaper, newspapers everywhere,
cover," Richer told the CBC on Tuesday.
"This isn't personal," she said.
"This is, you know, our job is to advocate for the people … for the
taxpayers and their residents. And any good newspaper would take
exactly the same position," she said.
Once again, the Mayor makes us all look bad, and we will be left
paying (literally) for his screw-ups for some time to come.

"Once again, the Mayor makes us all look bad"
How so?
If the problem really lies with the current group of politicians, what
difference would it make to a saint johnner's image if they refuse to
speak with some Bermudan conglomerate's mouthpiece? The Irvings have
had a chance to get their story out there exclusively for many years
regarding the supposed malfeasance of Saint John representatives.
Perhaps by pointing out how ridiculous Irving International's
strangehold on your information has become.
ShawnJanuary 12th, 2009 at 10:00 pm
Sorry, but it seems like a week doesn't go by without the Mayor making
the news because of his "my way or the highway" approach.
If he can dish it - he should be able to take.
DianneJanuary 13th, 2009 at 9:06 pm
Why was the city paying for their new paper in the first place, pretty
bad they can't even pay for a news paper without it being charged to
the people of Saint John.

A letter to support my complaint about various police forces in New
Brunswick will follow these emails just as I promised on the phone to
you people today.
I have no understanding as to why the Police Commission nor anyone
else holding a governmental mandate in the Province of New Brunswick
has never called me back or answered one email in nearly four years.
Shawn Graham should at least recognize his own documents to my framer
friend, Werner Bock from the time when he sat in opposition and was
the agricutural critic at the same time .
It appears to me that I am not the only one to get mad at the
malicious incompetence of John Foran and the cops of New Brunswick.
What is even more interesting though is the fact that John Foran was
once mad at the Police Commission and they way they investigated
things so secretly against the public's best interests. EH Mr. Volpe?
Rest assured that I ain't holding my breath for the police to continue
to harass me anymore after their nonsense yesterday. Nor will I wait
to see Wayne Steeves say or do the right thing after he has covered up
my concerns about the severe lack of police integrity for his politcal
party's benefit for four god damned years.
http://www.canlii.org/eliisa/
For the recod these Youtubes that are this arseholes favoutites were
created by the RCMP and I have no doubt whatsoever the people
slandering me are cops as well.

Mr. David R Amos
motomaniac_02186@yahoo.com
Dear Mr. Amos:
On a number of occasions you have called or sent e-mails our office to
raise matters which are of pressing concern to you.
Each time we have tried to respond by explaining to you the relatively
narrow mandate of this Commission and the limits of our powers to deal
with the matters which are of concern to you. I must stress, once
again, that the purpose of this Commission is to provide the public
with an opportunity to make complaints concerning the conduct of
members of the RCMP in the performance of their duties. We have
neither the expertise nor the legal authority to permit us to become
involved in issues beyond the scope of this mandate.
While it is clearly not the intention of the Commission to prevent you
from making complaints against members of the RCMP, an analysis of
your numerous contacts with the Commission indicates that your
concerns fall well outside the confines of our mandate. Further, your
frequent e-mails have been disruptive and unproductive for both you
and for the staff of this office.
Should you determine that some point in the future you have a

Dear Mr. Amos,
Thank you for your follow up e-mail to me today. I was on days off over
the holidays and returned to work this evening. Rest assured I was not
ignoring or procrastinating to respond to your concerns.
As your attachment sent today refers from Premier Graham, our position
is clear on your dead calf issue: Our forensic labs do not process
testing on animals in cases such as yours, they are referred to the
Atlantic Veterinary College in Charlottetown who can provide these
services. If you do not choose to utilize their expertise in this
instance, then that is your decision and nothing more can be done.
As for your other concerns regarding the US Government, false
imprisonment and Federal Court Dates in the US, etc... it is clear that
Federal authorities are aware of your concerns both in Canada and the
US. These issues do not fall into the purvue of Detachment policing in
Petitcodiac, NB.
It was indeed an interesting and informative conversation we had on
December 23rd, and I wish you well in all of your future endeavors.
Sincerely,
Warren McBeath, Cpl.

First things first meet Lenny Gold, Dougy Foster and Joey Podwika. You
can be certain that these wicked bastards know exactly who I am and
are no doubt quite nervous that the Feds have not figured out a way to
shut me up yet.
Everybody knows that far away corporate lawyers such as these three
stooges have been making the big score off us dumb Maritimers forever
and a day and have been laughing their nasty arses off at us all the
way to their buddies' bank. They appear to fear only one Maritimer and
that is yours truly. Ask them if I am liar or not as I speak of the
Bank Fraud Tax Fraud, Securities Fraud and Murders that you are afraid
to talk about. Shawn Graham should know everthing he partied hardy
with my G.A.L. Brian Bixby's Law firm in Beantown one year ago and I
effected an introduction with the lawyer Leonard Gold because that
very dumb Maritimer came to Beantown to talk to many evil Yankees ten
times more worldly wise than Shawny Baby ever could be.
Your laments Bobby Baby about lost water really rot my socks. You
should know I covered that base years ago and everybody just ran away
scared. Ask the Minister Larry Cannon why I laughed when he gave out a
little federal gold just before Bernie Lord had the writ dropped in
2006 in the provincial election. It was very telling thing just like
all the money being passed out right now.
I noticed that you and all you NDP pals ignored the fact that I ran in
that election as well as the Fed one and the one in Nova Scotia
earlier that year. Yea I saw you and Pat Hannratty ducking out the
back just as I walked in that night in January of 2006. Why you didn't
answer my friend Jack's letter either spoke to your personal integrity
EH? If Rob Moore or none of the Conservatives on the Hill faraway
won't talk to you just ask the lawyer Smith in Saint John the boss of
the NB Securities Commission if I didn't raise a little Hell while he
filled the other lawyer Nicholson's boots in PUB just long enough to
cram the pipeline through to the trunk while the election was on and I
was intervening in the pipeline matter in Saint John at the same time
and Norm Miller and his lawyer ignored my arguments but read my words
about it all on the web all the same.
Better yet why not have some fun and ask the very strange PCS dudes in
Sussex why they had my photo posted at the gate and the RCMP were to
be called if I made an appearance there while I was running against
your pal John Carty in Fat Fred City. Your clue to their malice is UBS
and another lawyer named Dave Aufhauser whom I have been battling with
for six long years. Do you even know who he is? Rest assured Lenny,
Dougy and Joey do.
Whereas you trust the words of the very malicious CBC or the Irvings
and not mine read what the CBC were saying one year ago. Then read
what the local Irving rag wrote about me four god damned years ago.
For the record Bobby Baby I still remember you commenting on the
trouble I was having with the Feds so that my minor son could return
to the USA to comfort his mother and how little milk of human kindness
you have had in your greedy little PHD soul ever since. Can ya tell I
don't like you not even a little bit?
http://www.cbc.ca/canada/new-
Read on Teacher pay particular attention to my words about oil and
gas.and crossborder public corruption. For the record I have always
considered the water in Penobsquis a federal matter concerning the NEB
and if they ignore me then maybe i would take it up in the Federal
Court. It won't go anywhere though if Maritimers don't finally wise up
start listening to me.
FYI I have started to upload some of my ducument for the public to
view. They can be found here and there will be a great deal more to
follow as my time allows.
http://www.scribd.com/people/
This Maritimer Danny Boy Fitzgeral who is studying for his PHD in
Holland made several interesting blogs about me as he attacked my
integrity. In the end methinks I may have turned him my way and in
return I left his school out of my battles.

Perhaps you should study them sometime EH Teacher? You should take
careful notice that college degrees mean less than nothing to me. Just
like any true Maritimer it is fighters, foresters, farmers and
fishermen I admire not rich snots that do not understand the meaning
of hard work. That said it does appear that Danny Boy does work very
hard on his blog. I do know how long such things take and his blog is
a fine and as fancy as anyones and constantly updated. I particularly
apprciate the fact he leaves his comments open without moderation.
Also for the record I signed your Fake Left friends' petition.
Penobsquis Deserves Safe Water
98 Fran Oliver There is no excuse for this situation. A responsible
provincial government and a responsible corporation would never allow
local families to bear the financial and social burden, likely
resulting from a provincial mining operation, while government and
corporation choke on huge profits.
99 David Raymond Amos Ask Garth Moore why my picture is posted at the
gate while I ran for Parliament will ya?
My friends tell me tha the Photo the PCS dudes had posted as some sort
of criminal the RCMP were watching out for was clipped from the pages
of the Kings County Record that contained the following articles.
The following email and two deleted blogs can be found within one
pigheaded Maritimer's blog about government injustice. After the
Irvings had his pal's Chucky Leblanc' former blog wiped out I had to
tease and torture him into doing the right thing and allowing just one
of my comments to stand. Some much for Freedom on Speech on the
Internet when even Maritime bloggers are unethical EH teacher?
For the record only the Gypsy and Danny Boy fitzgerald have allowed
all of my comments to stand the test of time and ethics. Thus far so I
must give credit where credit is due. Your chosen profession such as
it is should at least understand that EH Mr. Moir?
Here is my last post in the blogs tonight. Obviously I do not pretend
to be somebody I am not. N'est Pas?

Hello Lisa,
David Amos asked me to contact you. I met him last June after he became
an independent (not representing any political party) candidate in our federal
election that was held June 28. He was a candidate in our constituency of
Fundy (now called Fundy-Royal).
I wrote a profile story about him, as I did all other candidates. That
story appeared in the Kings County Record June 22. A second story, written
by one of my reporters, appeared on the same date, which was a report on
the candidates' debate held June 18.
As I recall David Amos came last of four candidates in the election.
The winner got 14,997 votes, while Amos got 358.
I have attached the two stories that appeared, as well as a photo
taken by reporter Erin Hatfield during the debate. I couldn't find the photo
that ran, but this one is very similar.

Raising a Little Hell- Lively Debate Provokes Crowd
By Erin Hatfield
"If you don't like what you got, why don't you change it? If your
world is all screwed up, rearrange it."
The 1979 Trooper song Raise a Little Hell blared on the speakers at
the 8th Hussars Sports Center Friday evening as people filed in to
watch the Fundy candidates debate the issues. It was an accurate, if
unofficial, theme song for the debate.
The crowd of over 200 spectators was dwarfed by the huge arena, but as
they chose their seats, it was clear the battle lines were drawn.
Supporters of Conservative candidate Rob Moore naturally took the blue
chairs on the right of the rink floor while John Herron's Liberalswent
left. There were splashes of orange, supporters of NDP Pat Hanratty,
mixed throughout. Perhaps the loudest applause came from a row towards
the back, where supporters of independent candidate David Amos sat.
The debate was moderated by Leo Melanson of CJCW Radio and was
organized by the Sussex Valley Jaycees. Candidates wereasked a barrage
of questions bypanelists Gisele McKnight of the Kings County Record
and Lisa Spencer of CJCW.
Staying true to party platforms for the most part, candidates
responded to questions about the gun registry, same sex marriage, the
exodus of young people from the Maritimes and regulated gas prices.
Herron and Moore were clear competitors,constantly challenging each
other on their answers and criticizing eachothers' party leaders.
Hanratty flew under the radar, giving short, concise responses to the
questions while Amos provided some food for thought and a bit of comic
relief with quirky answers. "I was raised with a gun," Amos said in
response to the question of thenational gun registry. "Nobody's
getting mine and I'm not paying 10 cents for it."
Herron, a Progressive Conservative MP turned Liberal, veered from his
party'splatform with regard to gun control. "It was ill advised but
well intentioned," Herron said. "No matter what side of the house I am
on, I'm voting against it." Pat Hanratty agreed there were better
places for the gun registry dollars to be spent.Recreational hunters
shouldn't have been penalized by this gun registry," he said.
The gun registry issues provoked the tempers of Herron and Moore. At
one point Herron got out of his seat and threw a piece of paper in
front of Moore. "Read that," Herron said to Moore, referring to the
voting record of Conservative Party leader Steven Harper. According to
Herron, Harper voted in favour of the registry on the first and second
readings of the bill in 1995. "He voted against it when it counted, at
final count," Moore said. "We needa government with courage to
register sex offenders rather than register the property of law
abiding citizens."
The crowd was vocal throughout the evening, with white haired men and
women heckling from the Conservative side. "Shut up John," one woman
yelled. "How can you talk about selling out?" a man yelled whenHerron
spoke about his fear that the Conservatives are selling farmers out.
Although the Liberal side was less vocal, Kings East MLA Leroy
Armstrong weighed in at one point. "You're out of touch," Armstrong
yelled to Moore from the crowd when the debate turned to the cost of
post-secondary education. Later in the evening Amos challenged
Armstrong to a public debate of their own. "Talk is cheap. Any time,
anyplace," Armstrong responded.
As the crowd made its way out of the building following the debate,
candidates worked the room. They shook hands with well-wishers and
fielded questions from spectators-all part of the decision-making
process for the June 28 vote.

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 sai...

I lived in the US for 9 years and qualified for American citizenship. I never applied, preferring to remain solely a Canadian citizen. That is a choice that I have never once regretted, even for a minute. Americans are dead wrong when they think that everyone in the world wishes he was an American citizen.

"In a letter dated March 7, New Brunswick's deputy finance minister wrote to federal deputy Finance minister Paul Rochon outlining her concerns.
"Allowing the recent U.S. tax reform rules to deplete the financial resources of Canadian corporations owned by Canadian residents, even those who are also American citizens, will greatly impact both the short term and long term investment plans of Canadian businesses," Nicole Picot wrote.

This will change the way some wealthy Canadians view the US.
Maybe they'll spend their money at home instead.

Anti-FATCA lawsuit plaintiff vows fight against FATCA ‘will go on’
By: Helen Burggraf | 04 Apr 2018
Anti-FATCA lawsuit plaintiff vows fight against FATCA ‘will go on’
One of the seven plaintiffs in a closely-watched lawsuit against the
US Treasury Department over the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act
that the US Supreme Court on Monday declined to hear has vowed that
the fight against FATCA will go on – in Canada, if nowhere else.
Stephen Kish, pictured left, a professor of Psychiatry and
Pharmacology at the University of Toronto, said on Tuesday that
another lawsuit, involving a Canadian organisation known as the
Alliance for the Defence of Canadian Sovereignty (ADCS), is continuing
against the Canadian government for its “turning over to the US
Internal Revenue Service” information on all those Canadian citizens
whom the US deems to be “US persons” and therefore subject to US tax.
Canada has been providing this information to the US tax authorities
since 2015, as part of an agreement it signed the previous year to
help the US to enforce FATCA – and in so doing avoid potentially
significant financial sanctions that the US would otherwise impose.
As reported, the ADCS’s lawsuit involves two Canadian women who happen
also to be considered to be American citizens by the US, who filed
suit in Canada’s Federal Court in 2014 against the Canadian government
for what they said was its role in enabling the US to come after them
by agreeing to enforce FATCA.
FATCA, which was signed into law in 2010 by President Obama and began
to come into force in 2013, obliges non-US financial institutions
around the world to report to the US Internal Revenue Service on any
accounts they have which are held by American citizens.
To do this, the US has obtained the agreement of foreign governments,
such as Canada’s, to collect the information and pass it on to the
IRS.
As a group Canadians who hold American citizenship, often as a result
of having been born there when their parents were temporarily south of
the border, have been among FATCA’s biggest critics, and even maintain
and contribute to a blog, the Isaac Brock Society, where issues of
concern to them are discussed and relevant news shared. (A gathering
of these “Brockers” is pictured above, at a 2013 anti-FATCA
demonstration in Ottawa in 2013.)
The Alliance for the Defence of Canadian Sovereignty – which Kish, a
Canadian citizen who renounced his American citizenship, chairs – is
funding the Canadian court case. According to the court documents, the
two plantiffs in the case are arguing that the defendants –
essentially the Canadian government, as represented for the purposes
of the lawsuit by the Canadian attorney general and National Revenue
minister – lack the right under Canadian law to provide their
information to the IRS, as they are Canadian citizens and the
information about them which the Canadian government is providing “is
not shown to be relevant for carrying out the provisions” of the laws
currently in force.
Although Canadian citizens, the two plaintiffs, Gwen Deegan and Kazia
Highton, are considered by the US to also be American citizens as well
– and thus having US tax obligations – because they were born there,
even though they left at a young age.
Kish says the expectation is that the case will reach Canada’s Federal
Court “early in 2019”.
Adds Kish: “My hope is that citizens of other countries (eg, England)
who are also regarded by the US, without their consent, to be American
citizens, will also sue their own countries for assisting in the
roundup and turnover of their information to a foreign government, and
the confiscation of their locally-made assets.
“Canada’s argument that it is okay to sacrifice the right of some of
its citizens to prevent a mean-spirited US financial sanction doesn’t
wash.”
As for the US Supreme Court’s decision on Monday not to hear the
matter of Mark Crawford et al v United States Department of the
Treasury, et al, Kish said he was, “as one of the plaintiffs…very
disappointed that our case never actually made it to trial”.
“But hopefully the Republicans Overseas organisation will be
successful in finding other plaintiffs who have suffered a type of
FATCA harm that will survive the Government’s “standing” argument,” he
added, referring to a call by the Republicans’ expat organisation for
seven individuals to be party to another lawsuit.
As reported, the case in which Kish had been involved had been brought
by a group of seven American expatriates as well as Kentucky Senator
Rand Paul. Their argument hinged on their contention that the 2010
FATCA legislation violated their constitutional rights.
However, they lost their case – as of Monday, when the US Supreme
Court declined to hear their challenge to a Sixth Circuit court
decision handed down last August – on grounds that they lacked the
standing to sue, and that the harms they claimed to have suffered as a
result of the law were not, in fact, directly caused by it.
In addition to the US Treasury, the other defendants in that case were
the IRS and the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network.
The Supreme Court petition, Mark Crawford et al v United States
Department of the Treasury, et al, may be viewed on the Treasury’s
website by clicking here.

https://www.scribd.com/doc/
FYI During my debates in Fundy Royal I made certain that Rob Moore
and his boss Harper and the Libranos knew within the emails found
below that I was not talking through my hat with reference to the TPP
false promises dairy farmers and my concerns about the Internet
As you journalists well know I made good on my promise to sue the
CROWN while running for a seat in Parliament one last time. As usual
CBC and most of the other very unethical "journlists" ignored the
obvious except Rogers TV and the local reporters employed by the
Irving billionaires
https://www.youtube.com/watch?
Clearly Jesse Brown and his buddy Mean Mikey Geist were yapping about
the TPP before you revealed the PCO's point of view about Harper's
false promise. More importantly to Mean Old Me both those very snobby
and very unethical Upper Canadian spin doctors well aware I knew the
very sneaky Julian Assange long BEFORE he and Birgitta Jonsdotir made
Wikileaks. Hell I have been dicing with the bast Geist for over ten
years since he stuck his nose in Byron Prior's matters (Another matter
no journalist will report about) Anyone can scroll down or just Google
"Michael Geist""David Amos" or "Julian Assange" "David Amos" to see
the proof of what I say is true.

Privy Council Office tracks party promises to prepare for government transition
Senior public servants log and analyze every election promise on a
daily basis to prep briefing books
By Dean Beeby, CBC News Posted: Oct 14, 2015 5:00 AM ET|

Liberals, NDP decline PCO offer of confidential briefing on TPP trade deal
Offer to view trade deal just before election rejected as 'political ploy'
CBC News Posted: Oct 15, 2015 5:11 PM ET|
"Mulcair said Trade Minister Ed Fast broke a promise to make all
details of the accord public ahead of election day.
"Instead of openness and transparency, Canadians are learning details
through leaked information and the government's own self-serving
promotional efforts. That's not acceptable," Mulcair said.
The Privy Council Office is the department that provides non-partisan
support to the prime minister and cabinet. The Conservative campaign
told CBC News the government asked the PCO to offer the briefing to
the opposition parties.
But in a separate letter released Thursday, Liberal candidate John
McCallum accused Prime Minister Stephen Harper of continuing a "lack
of transparency" over the deal's details.
"Despite a commitment by the minister of international trade, Mr. Ed
Fast, to release the text of the agreement so all Canadians can judge
it on its merits before election day, media reports this week state
that the details will remain secret," McCallum wrote.
"It is troubling that with just four days remaining until election
day, you continue to refuse to release the text of the agreement for
Canadians to see."
McCallum noted that a previous briefing attended by party
representatives on Oct. 4 "provided no actual details beyond the
limited information already released publicly."
"It is simply not possible to conduct a meaningful, in-depth analysis

declined. Teneycke said the briefing was to be based on the chapter

A Liberal campaign spokesman referred CBC News to McCallum's letter,

Subject: Your various correspondence about abusive tax schemes - 2017-02631
To: "motomaniac333@gmail.com"<motomaniac333@gmail.com>
Mr. David Raymond Amos
motomaniac333@gmail.com
Dear Mr. Amos:
Thank you for your various correspondence about abusive tax schemes,
and for your understanding regarding the delay of this response.
This is an opportunity for me to address your concerns about the way
the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) deals with aggressive tax planning,
tax avoidance, and tax evasion by targeting individuals and groups
that promote schemes intended to avoid payment of tax. It is also an
opportunity for me to present the Government of Canada’s main
strategies for ensuring fairness for all taxpayers.
The CRA’s mission is to preserve the integrity of Canada’s tax system,
and it is taking concrete and effective action to deal with abusive
tax schemes. Through federal budget funding in 2016 and 2017, the
government has committed close to $1 billion in cracking down on tax
evasion and combatting tax avoidance at home and through the use of
offshore transactions. This additional funding is expected to generate
federal revenues of $2.6 billion over five years for Budget 2016, and
$2.5 billion over five years for Budget 2017.
More precisely, the CRA is cracking down on tax cheats by hiring more
auditors, maintaining its underground economy specialist teams,
increasing coverage of aggressive goods and service tax/harmonized
sales tax planning, increasing coverage of multinational corporations
and wealthy individuals, and taking targeted actions aimed at
promoters of abusive tax schemes.
On the offshore front, the CRA continues to develop tools to improve
its focus on high‑risk taxpayers. It is also considering changes to
its Voluntary Disclosures Program following the first set of program
recommendations received from an independent Offshore Compliance
Advisory Committee. In addition, the CRA is leading international
projects to address the base erosion and profit shifting initiative of
the G20 and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and
Development, and is collaborating with treaty partners to address the
Panama Papers leaks.
These actions are evidence of the government’s commitment to
protecting tax fairness. The CRA has strengthened its intelligence and
technical capacities for the early detection of abusive tax
arrangements and deterrence of those who participate in them. To
ensure compliance, it has increased the number of actions aimed at
promoters who use illegal schemes. These measures include increased
audits of such promoters, improved information gathering, criminal
investigations where warranted, and better communication with
taxpayers.
To deter potential taxpayer involvement in these schemes, the CRA is
increasing notifications and warnings through its communications
products. It also seeks partnerships with tax preparers, accountants,
and community groups so that they can become informed observers who
can educate their clients.
The CRA will assess penalties against promoters and other
representatives who make false statements involving illegal tax
schemes. The promotion of tax schemes to defraud the government can
lead to criminal investigations, fingerprinting, criminal prosecution,
court fines, and jail time.
Between April 1, 2011, and March 31, 2016, the CRA’s criminal
investigations resulted in the conviction of 42 Canadian taxpayers for
tax evasion with links to money and assets held offshore. In total,
the $34 million in evaded taxes resulted in court fines of $12 million
and 734 months of jail time.
When deciding to pursue compliance actions through the courts, the CRA
consults the Department of Justice Canada to choose an appropriate
solution. Complex tax-related litigation is costly and time consuming,
and the outcome may be unsuccessful. All options to recover amounts
owed are considered.
More specifically, in relation to the KPMG Isle of Man tax avoidance
scheme, publicly available court records show that it is through the
CRA’s efforts that the scheme was discovered. The CRA identified many
of the participants and continues to actively pursue the matter. The
CRA has also identified at least 10 additional tax structures on the
Isle of Man, and is auditing taxpayers in relation to these
structures.
To ensure tax fairness, the CRA commissioned an independent review in
March 2016 to determine if it had acted appropriately concerning KPMG
and its clients. In her review, Ms. Kimberley Brooks, Associate
Professor and former Dean of the Schulich School of Law at Dalhousie
University, examined the CRA’s operational processes and decisions in
relation to the KPMG offshore tax structure and its efforts to obtain
the names of all taxpayers participating in the scheme. Following this
review, the report, released on May 5, 2016, concluded that the CRA
had acted appropriately in its management of the KPMG Isle of Man
file. The report found that the series of compliance measures the CRA
took were in accordance with its policies and procedures. It was
concluded that the procedural actions taken on the KPMG file were
appropriate given the facts of this particular case and were
consistent with the treatment of taxpayers in similar situations. The
report concluded that actions by CRA employees were in accordance with
the CRA’s Code of Integrity and Professional Conduct. There was no
evidence of inappropriate interaction between KPMG and the CRA
employees involved in the case.
Under the CRA’s Code of Integrity and Professional Conduct, all CRA
employees are responsible for real, apparent, or potential conflicts
of interests between their current duties and any subsequent
employment outside of the CRA or the Public Service of Canada.
Consequences and corrective measures play an important role in
protecting the CRA’s integrity.
The CRA takes misconduct very seriously. The consequences of
misconduct depend on the gravity of the incident and its repercussions
on trust both within and outside of the CRA. Misconduct can result in
disciplinary measures up to dismissal.
All forms of tax evasion are illegal. The CRA manages the Informant
Leads Program, which handles leads received from the public regarding
cases of tax evasion across the country. This program, which
coordinates all the leads the CRA receives from informants, determines
whether there has been any non-compliance with tax law and ensures
that the information is examined and conveyed, if applicable, so that
compliance measures are taken. This program does not offer any reward
for tips received.
The new Offshore Tax Informant Program (OTIP) has also been put in
place. The OTIP offers financial compensation to individuals who
provide information related to major cases of offshore tax evasion
that lead to the collection of tax owing. As of December 31, 2016, the
OTIP had received 963 calls and 407 written submissions from possible
informants. Over 218 taxpayers are currently under audit based on
information the CRA received through the OTIP.
With a focus on the highest-risk sectors nationally and
internationally and an increased ability to gather information, the
CRA has the means to target taxpayers who try to hide their income.
For example, since January 2015, the CRA has been collecting
information on all international electronic funds transfers (EFTs) of
$10,000 or more ending or originating in Canada. It is also adopting a
proactive approach by focusing each year on four jurisdictions that
raise suspicion. For the Isle of Man, the CRA audited 3,000 EFTs
totalling $860 million over 12 months and involving approximately 800
taxpayers. Based on these audits, the CRA communicated with
approximately 350 individuals and 400 corporations and performed 60
audits.
In January 2017, I reaffirmed Canada’s important role as a leader for
tax authorities around the world in detecting the structures used for
aggressive tax planning and tax evasion. This is why Canada works
daily with the Joint International Tax Shelter Information Centre
(JITSIC), a network of tax administrations in over 35 countries. The
CRA participates in two expert groups within the JITSIC and leads the
working group on intermediaries and proponents. This ongoing
collaboration is a key component of the CRA’s work to develop strong
relationships with the international community, which will help it
refine the world-class tax system that benefits all Canadians.
The CRA is increasing its efforts and is seeing early signs of
success. Last year, the CRA recovered just under $13 billion as a
result of its audit activities on the domestic and offshore fronts.
Two-thirds of these recoveries are the result of its audit efforts
relating to large businesses and multinational companies.
But there is still much to do, and additional improvements and
investments are underway.
Tax cheats are having a harder and harder time hiding. Taxpayers who
choose to promote or participate in malicious and illegal tax
strategies must face the consequences of their actions. Canadians
expect nothing less. I invite you to read my most recent statement on
this matter at canada.ca/en/revenue-agency/
statement_from_
Thank you for taking the time to write. I hope the information I have
provided is helpful.
Sincerely,
The Honourable Diane Lebouthillier
Minister of National Revenue

Anti-FATCA lawsuit plaintiff vows fight against FATCA ‘will go on’
By: Helen Burggraf | 04 Apr 2018
Anti-FATCA lawsuit plaintiff vows fight against FATCA ‘will go on’
One of the seven plaintiffs in a closely-watched lawsuit against the
US Treasury Department over the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act
that the US Supreme Court on Monday declined to hear has vowed that
the fight against FATCA will go on – in Canada, if nowhere else.
Stephen Kish, pictured left, a professor of Psychiatry and
Pharmacology at the University of Toronto, said on Tuesday that
another lawsuit, involving a Canadian organisation known as the
Alliance for the Defence of Canadian Sovereignty (ADCS), is continuing
against the Canadian government for its “turning over to the US
Internal Revenue Service” information on all those Canadian citizens
whom the US deems to be “US persons” and therefore subject to US tax.
Canada has been providing this information to the US tax authorities
since 2015, as part of an agreement it signed the previous year to
help the US to enforce FATCA – and in so doing avoid potentially
significant financial sanctions that the US would otherwise impose.
As reported, the ADCS’s lawsuit involves two Canadian women who happen
also to be considered to be American citizens by the US, who filed
suit in Canada’s Federal Court in 2014 against the Canadian government
for what they said was its role in enabling the US to come after them
by agreeing to enforce FATCA.
FATCA, which was signed into law in 2010 by President Obama and began
to come into force in 2013, obliges non-US financial institutions
around the world to report to the US Internal Revenue Service on any
accounts they have which are held by American citizens.
To do this, the US has obtained the agreement of foreign governments,
such as Canada’s, to collect the information and pass it on to the
IRS.
As a group Canadians who hold American citizenship, often as a result
of having been born there when their parents were temporarily south of
the border, have been among FATCA’s biggest critics, and even maintain
and contribute to a blog, the Isaac Brock Society, where issues of
concern to them are discussed and relevant news shared. (A gathering
of these “Brockers” is pictured above, at a 2013 anti-FATCA
demonstration in Ottawa in 2013.)
The Alliance for the Defence of Canadian Sovereignty – which Kish, a
Canadian citizen who renounced his American citizenship, chairs – is
funding the Canadian court case. According to the court documents, the
two plantiffs in the case are arguing that the defendants –
essentially the Canadian government, as represented for the purposes
of the lawsuit by the Canadian attorney general and National Revenue
minister – lack the right under Canadian law to provide their
information to the IRS, as they are Canadian citizens and the
information about them which the Canadian government is providing “is
not shown to be relevant for carrying out the provisions” of the laws
currently in force.
Although Canadian citizens, the two plaintiffs, Gwen Deegan and Kazia
Highton, are considered by the US to also be American citizens as well
– and thus having US tax obligations – because they were born there,
even though they left at a young age.
Kish says the expectation is that the case will reach Canada’s Federal
Court “early in 2019”.
Adds Kish: “My hope is that citizens of other countries (eg, England)
who are also regarded by the US, without their consent, to be American
citizens, will also sue their own countries for assisting in the
roundup and turnover of their information to a foreign government, and
the confiscation of their locally-made assets.
“Canada’s argument that it is okay to sacrifice the right of some of
its citizens to prevent a mean-spirited US financial sanction doesn’t
wash.”
As for the US Supreme Court’s decision on Monday not to hear the
matter of Mark Crawford et al v United States Department of the
Treasury, et al, Kish said he was, “as one of the plaintiffs…very
disappointed that our case never actually made it to trial”.
“But hopefully the Republicans Overseas organisation will be
successful in finding other plaintiffs who have suffered a type of
FATCA harm that will survive the Government’s “standing” argument,” he
added, referring to a call by the Republicans’ expat organisation for
seven individuals to be party to another lawsuit.
As reported, the case in which Kish had been involved had been brought
by a group of seven American expatriates as well as Kentucky Senator
Rand Paul. Their argument hinged on their contention that the 2010
FATCA legislation violated their constitutional rights.
However, they lost their case – as of Monday, when the US Supreme
Court declined to hear their challenge to a Sixth Circuit court
decision handed down last August – on grounds that they lacked the
standing to sue, and that the harms they claimed to have suffered as a
result of the law were not, in fact, directly caused by it.
In addition to the US Treasury, the other defendants in that case were
the IRS and the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network.
The Supreme Court petition, Mark Crawford et al v United States
Department of the Treasury, et al, may be viewed on the Treasury’s
website by clicking here.

false promises dairy farmers and my concerns about the Internet
As you journalists well know I made good on my promise to sue the
CROWN while running for a seat in Parliament one last time. As usual
CBC and most of the other very unethical "journlists" ignored the
obvious except Rogers TV and the local reporters employed by the
Irving billionaires
https://www.youtube.com/watch?
Clearly Jesse Brown and his buddy Mean Mikey Geist were yapping about
the TPP before you revealed the PCO's point of view about Harper's
false promise. More importantly to Mean Old Me both those very snobby
and very unethical Upper Canadian spin doctors well aware I knew the
very sneaky Julian Assange long BEFORE he and Birgitta Jonsdotir made
Wikileaks. Hell I have been dicing with the bast Geist for over ten
years since he stuck his nose in Byron Prior's matters (Another matter
no journalist will report about) Anyone can scroll down or just Google

Privy Council Office tracks party promises to prepare for government transition
Senior public servants log and analyze every election promise on a
daily basis to prep briefing books

Liberals, NDP decline PCO offer of confidential briefing on TPP trade deal
Offer to view trade deal just before election rejected as 'political ploy'
CBC News Posted: Oct 15, 2015 5:11 PM ET|
"Mulcair said Trade Minister Ed Fast broke a promise to make all
details of the accord public ahead of election day.
"Instead of openness and transparency, Canadians are learning details
through leaked information and the government's own self-serving
promotional efforts. That's not acceptable," Mulcair said.
The Privy Council Office is the department that provides non-partisan
support to the prime minister and cabinet. The Conservative campaign
told CBC News the government asked the PCO to offer the briefing to
the opposition parties.
But in a separate letter released Thursday, Liberal candidate John
McCallum accused Prime Minister Stephen Harper of continuing a "lack
of transparency" over the deal's details.
"Despite a commitment by the minister of international trade, Mr. Ed
Fast, to release the text of the agreement so all Canadians can judge
it on its merits before election day, media reports this week state
that the details will remain secret," McCallum wrote.
"It is troubling that with just four days remaining until election
day, you continue to refuse to release the text of the agreement for
Canadians to see."
McCallum noted that a previous briefing attended by party
representatives on Oct. 4 "provided no actual details beyond the
limited information already released publicly."
"It is simply not possible to conduct a meaningful, in-depth analysis
of the 1,500-plus page agreement in 90 minutes," he wrote.
I am included in briefing. I was only leader to participate in the 1st
#TPP briefing. #GPC #elxn42 @CanadianGreens @Politicolnews @PnPCBC
— @ElizabethMay
Conservative campaign spokesman Kory Teneycke told CBC News the
Liberals initially agreed to attend the Friday briefing, while the NDP
declined. Teneycke said the briefing was to be based on the chapter
summaries, since the final text does not exist yet.
A Liberal campaign spokesman referred CBC News to McCallum's letter,
but said any suggestion the party had accepted the offer of the
briefing was false."

Subject: Your various correspondence about abusive tax schemes - 2017-02631
To: "motomaniac333@gmail.com"<motomaniac333@gmail.com>
Mr. David Raymond Amos
motomaniac333@gmail.com
Dear Mr. Amos:
Thank you for your various correspondence about abusive tax schemes,
and for your understanding regarding the delay of this response.
This is an opportunity for me to address your concerns about the way
the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) deals with aggressive tax planning,
tax avoidance, and tax evasion by targeting individuals and groups
that promote schemes intended to avoid payment of tax. It is also an
opportunity for me to present the Government of Canada’s main
strategies for ensuring fairness for all taxpayers.
The CRA’s mission is to preserve the integrity of Canada’s tax system,
and it is taking concrete and effective action to deal with abusive
tax schemes. Through federal budget funding in 2016 and 2017, the
government has committed close to $1 billion in cracking down on tax
evasion and combatting tax avoidance at home and through the use of
offshore transactions. This additional funding is expected to generate
federal revenues of $2.6 billion over five years for Budget 2016, and
$2.5 billion over five years for Budget 2017.
More precisely, the CRA is cracking down on tax cheats by hiring more
auditors, maintaining its underground economy specialist teams,
increasing coverage of aggressive goods and service tax/harmonized
sales tax planning, increasing coverage of multinational corporations
and wealthy individuals, and taking targeted actions aimed at
promoters of abusive tax schemes.
On the offshore front, the CRA continues to develop tools to improve
its focus on high‑risk taxpayers. It is also considering changes to
its Voluntary Disclosures Program following the first set of program
recommendations received from an independent Offshore Compliance
Advisory Committee. In addition, the CRA is leading international
projects to address the base erosion and profit shifting initiative of
the G20 and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and
Development, and is collaborating with treaty partners to address the
Panama Papers leaks.
These actions are evidence of the government’s commitment to
protecting tax fairness. The CRA has strengthened its intelligence and
technical capacities for the early detection of abusive tax
arrangements and deterrence of those who participate in them. To
ensure compliance, it has increased the number of actions aimed at
promoters who use illegal schemes. These measures include increased
audits of such promoters, improved information gathering, criminal
investigations where warranted, and better communication with
taxpayers.
To deter potential taxpayer involvement in these schemes, the CRA is
increasing notifications and warnings through its communications
products. It also seeks partnerships with tax preparers, accountants,
and community groups so that they can become informed observers who
can educate their clients.
The CRA will assess penalties against promoters and other
representatives who make false statements involving illegal tax
schemes. The promotion of tax schemes to defraud the government can
lead to criminal investigations, fingerprinting, criminal prosecution,
court fines, and jail time.
Between April 1, 2011, and March 31, 2016, the CRA’s criminal
investigations resulted in the conviction of 42 Canadian taxpayers for
tax evasion with links to money and assets held offshore. In total,
the $34 million in evaded taxes resulted in court fines of $12 million
and 734 months of jail time.
When deciding to pursue compliance actions through the courts, the CRA
consults the Department of Justice Canada to choose an appropriate
solution. Complex tax-related litigation is costly and time consuming,
and the outcome may be unsuccessful. All options to recover amounts
owed are considered.
More specifically, in relation to the KPMG Isle of Man tax avoidance
scheme, publicly available court records show that it is through the
CRA’s efforts that the scheme was discovered. The CRA identified many
of the participants and continues to actively pursue the matter. The
CRA has also identified at least 10 additional tax structures on the
Isle of Man, and is auditing taxpayers in relation to these
structures.
To ensure tax fairness, the CRA commissioned an independent review in
March 2016 to determine if it had acted appropriately concerning KPMG
and its clients. In her review, Ms. Kimberley Brooks, Associate
Professor and former Dean of the Schulich School of Law at Dalhousie
University, examined the CRA’s operational processes and decisions in
relation to the KPMG offshore tax structure and its efforts to obtain
the names of all taxpayers participating in the scheme. Following this
review, the report, released on May 5, 2016, concluded that the CRA
had acted appropriately in its management of the KPMG Isle of Man
file. The report found that the series of compliance measures the CRA
took were in accordance with its policies and procedures. It was
concluded that the procedural actions taken on the KPMG file were
appropriate given the facts of this particular case and were
consistent with the treatment of taxpayers in similar situations. The
report concluded that actions by CRA employees were in accordance with
the CRA’s Code of Integrity and Professional Conduct. There was no
evidence of inappropriate interaction between KPMG and the CRA
employees involved in the case.
Under the CRA’s Code of Integrity and Professional Conduct, all CRA
employees are responsible for real, apparent, or potential conflicts
of interests between their current duties and any subsequent
employment outside of the CRA or the Public Service of Canada.
Consequences and corrective measures play an important role in
protecting the CRA’s integrity.
The CRA takes misconduct very seriously. The consequences of
misconduct depend on the gravity of the incident and its repercussions
on trust both within and outside of the CRA. Misconduct can result in
disciplinary measures up to dismissal.
All forms of tax evasion are illegal. The CRA manages the Informant
Leads Program, which handles leads received from the public regarding
cases of tax evasion across the country. This program, which
coordinates all the leads the CRA receives from informants, determines
whether there has been any non-compliance with tax law and ensures
that the information is examined and conveyed, if applicable, so that
compliance measures are taken. This program does not offer any reward
for tips received.
The new Offshore Tax Informant Program (OTIP) has also been put in
place. The OTIP offers financial compensation to individuals who
provide information related to major cases of offshore tax evasion
that lead to the collection of tax owing. As of December 31, 2016, the
OTIP had received 963 calls and 407 written submissions from possible
informants. Over 218 taxpayers are currently under audit based on
information the CRA received through the OTIP.
With a focus on the highest-risk sectors nationally and
internationally and an increased ability to gather information, the
CRA has the means to target taxpayers who try to hide their income.
For example, since January 2015, the CRA has been collecting
information on all international electronic funds transfers (EFTs) of
$10,000 or more ending or originating in Canada. It is also adopting a
proactive approach by focusing each year on four jurisdictions that
raise suspicion. For the Isle of Man, the CRA audited 3,000 EFTs
totalling $860 million over 12 months and involving approximately 800
taxpayers. Based on these audits, the CRA communicated with
approximately 350 individuals and 400 corporations and performed 60
audits.
In January 2017, I reaffirmed Canada’s important role as a leader for
tax authorities around the world in detecting the structures used for
aggressive tax planning and tax evasion. This is why Canada works
daily with the Joint International Tax Shelter Information Centre
(JITSIC), a network of tax administrations in over 35 countries. The
CRA participates in two expert groups within the JITSIC and leads the
working group on intermediaries and proponents. This ongoing
collaboration is a key component of the CRA’s work to develop strong
relationships with the international community, which will help it
refine the world-class tax system that benefits all Canadians.
The CRA is increasing its efforts and is seeing early signs of
success. Last year, the CRA recovered just under $13 billion as a
result of its audit activities on the domestic and offshore fronts.
Two-thirds of these recoveries are the result of its audit efforts
relating to large businesses and multinational companies.
But there is still much to do, and additional improvements and
investments are underway.
Tax cheats are having a harder and harder time hiding. Taxpayers who
choose to promote or participate in malicious and illegal tax
strategies must face the consequences of their actions. Canadians
expect nothing less. I invite you to read my most recent statement on
this matter at canada.ca/en/revenue-agency/

Thank you for taking the time to write. I hope the information I have
provided is helpful.
Sincerely,
The Honourable Diane Lebouthillier
Minister of National Revenue
New bill could lessen tax woes for Canadian residents with U.S. citizenship
But the outlook is bleak for thousands grappling with Trump's repatriation tax
Thousands of Canadian residents forced to pay income tax in both Canada and the United States could be about to get some respite.
Legislation has been tabled in the U.S. House of Representatives that would exempt Americans living in countries like Canada from having to pay tax on income earned outside the United States.
North Carolina Republican Congressman George Holding said he tabled the Tax Fairness for Americans Abroad Act because the current system imposes an unfair burden on those with American citizenship outside the U.S.
"Not only does our archaic citizenship-based tax system impose a costly burden on Americans living abroad, but it also discourages businesses from hiring U.S. citizens for jobs in foreign jurisdictions," Holding wrote in a statement.
"This common-sense bill takes a huge step towards ending the outdated, backwards policy of double-taxation of American citizens living abroad."
Even under Holding's bill, U.S. citizens living in Canada would still have to pay tax on any income from U.S. sources.
The United States is one of only two countries in the world (Eritrea is the other) that taxes its residents based on citizenship. Most other countries, like Canada, tax according to where someone lives.

North Carolina Congressman George Holding has tabled legislation that could relieve many Canadian residents with U.S. citizenship of the obligation to pay taxes in both Canada and the U.S. (www.congress.gov)That means that Canadian residents with U.S. or dual Canadian-U.S. citizenship are supposed to file income tax returns each year to both Canada and the United States. In most cases, tax credits in each country can cancel each other out and reduce the risk of double taxation.
Legislation has been tabled in the U.S. House of Representatives that would exempt Americans living in countries like Canada from having to pay tax on income earned outside the United States.
North Carolina Republican Congressman George Holding said he tabled the Tax Fairness for Americans Abroad Act because the current system imposes an unfair burden on those with American citizenship outside the U.S.
"Not only does our archaic citizenship-based tax system impose a costly burden on Americans living abroad, but it also discourages businesses from hiring U.S. citizens for jobs in foreign jurisdictions," Holding wrote in a statement.
"This common-sense bill takes a huge step towards ending the outdated, backwards policy of double-taxation of American citizens living abroad."
Even under Holding's bill, U.S. citizens living in Canada would still have to pay tax on any income from U.S. sources.
The United States is one of only two countries in the world (Eritrea is the other) that taxes its residents based on citizenship. Most other countries, like Canada, tax according to where someone lives.
There are believed to be hundreds of thousands of people with U.S. citizenship living and working across Canada. They include "accidental Americans" who didn't realize until recently that the fact they were born in a hospital across the border, or to an American parent, meant that they were also supposed to file U.S. tax returns.
That started to change in 2010 when the U.S adopted the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA). The legislation, adopted to crack down on offshore tax evasion, requires banks and financial institutions around the world to report to the U.S. government the assets of customers who may be Americans for tax purposes.
In Canada, the banks report that information to the Canada Revenue Agency, which then transfers it to the U.S. The Canadian government has defended the banking record-sharing deal, saying it avoids the prospect of Washington trying to enforce American law in Canada.
In late January, the Federal Court of Canada is scheduled to hear a challenge of the constitutionality of that agreement.
Holding's bill, if it passes, could make life easier for many Canadian residents with U.S. citizenship in the future. But it would do little to help thousands of Canadian residents with U.S. or dual citizenship and a company incorporated in Canada who were hit with massive tax bills as a result of the sweeping tax reform U.S. President Donald Trump signed into law a year ago.
Buried in the 1,097-page Tax Cuts and Jobs Act was a "repatriation tax" intended to stop big U.S. multinationals like Google and Apple from parking profits in foreign subsidiaries to avoid paying billions in U.S. tax.
However, it also created a legal and accounting nightmare for thousands of Canadian residents, such as small business owners, farmers, doctors, dentists, lawyers and others with incorporated companies. The one-time retroactive tax was levied on all of the retained earnings in companies going back to 1986.
Some of those particularly hard-hit had been using their companies to save for retirement. Many have spent the past year grappling with tax bills that total hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Many of those affected are also facing a second tax going forward: the Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income (GILTI) tax. The tax, which will start in the 2018 tax year, will apply to profits made each year by a corporation outside the U.S. owned by someone with American citizenship.
Many accountants and tax professionals advised their clients to delay filing until the last
moment — Dec. 15 — in the hopes that the U.S. would change the rules or lobbying attempts would be successful.
"We have a lot of unhappy clients out there," said Kevyn Nightingale, a partner with MNP's tax services group in Toronto.
Monte Silver, a Canadian-born U.S. tax lawyer based in Israel, has been helping lobby the U.S. government and raise money to fund a U.S. court challenge of the tax reform.
However, he said U.S. officials appear focused on the impact of the repatriation tax on big corporations, and indifferent to the situation of Americans living outside the U.S.
"The issue here is not expats," he said. "We're just an insignificant little fly to them."
To date, there has been little sign of the Canadian government doing very much to help people caught in the cross-border predicament.
Finance department documents, obtained by CBC News through Canada's access to information law, show that a top Finance official, Brian Ernewein, did raise the issue on May 11, 2018 in a call with Chip Harter of the U.S. Treasury Department
"I took the opportunity of a call this morning with U.S. Treasury's Chip Harter to raise the point that we're hearing a lot about the issue of the repatriation tax applying to U.S. citizens residing in Canada," Ernewein wrote in a heavily redacted document.
"This is where we left it, with plans to discuss a bit further when we see each other next week in Vancouver."
The Finance department records also reveal that at least one provincial government has raised the issue with the federal Department of Finance.
In a letter dated March 7, New Brunswick's deputy finance minister wrote to federal deputy Finance minister Paul Rochon outlining her concerns.
"Allowing the recent U.S. tax reform rules to deplete the financial resources of Canadian corporations owned by Canadian residents, even those who are also American citizens, will greatly impact both the short term and long term investment plans of Canadian businesses," Nicole Picot wrote.
Reached this week, Pierre-Olivier Herbert, spokesman for Morneau, said "Finance officials will continue to engage with their U.S. counterparts to ensure they are aware of the negative impact on U.S. citizens abroad."

Government Province's pay list highlights earnings gap between
officials and ordinary NBers
A1
QUENTIN CASEY
TELEGRAPH-JOURNAL
FREDERICTON - Monday's release of annual government compensation
highlights the growing gap between the average New Brunswick worker
and provincial officials and appointees, says the Canadian Taxpayers
Federation, warning there is a fine line between fair and "obscene"
government wages.
A listing of government salaries for 2007 reveals there are thousands
of provincial employees who are making far more than the average New
Brunswick income, which is $28,450, according to Statistics Canada.
Take the 2,500 employees at NB Power, the province's public electric
utility. At the top sits president and CEO David Hay with a 2007
salary of between $325,000 and $350,000.
The government releases only pay ranges to protect the privacy of its
employees and appointees.
In all, the utility had close to 500 employees making more than
$100,000, including 42 making in excess of $150,000. More than 900
employees made between $75,000 and $100,000.
Most of those employees ranged from nuclear engineers to
vice-presidents to lawyers and accountants.
Other notable provincial salaries include: John Sinclair, head of the
New Brunswick Investment Management Corporation (which oversees public
service pensions), who was paid between $475,000 and $500,000.
James Scott, also with the Investment Management Corporation, pulled
in between $300,000 and $325,000.
Donne Smith, head of the New Brunswick Securities Commission, made
between $175,000 and $200,000.
As well, Elizabeth Weir, president of the province's energy efficiency
unit (and former leader of the provincial NDP) made between $125,000
and $150,000.
Bernard Richard, the province's ombudsman and child and youth advocate
earned in the range of $200,000 to $225,000.
The head of the province's liquor corporation, longtime Liberal
strategist Dana Clendenning, made somewhere between $125,000 and
$150,000.
Maurice Robichaud, the deputy minister in charge of government
communications, pulled in between $100,000 and $125,000.
And Premier Shawn Graham landed a total compensation of $125,740.
Kevin Gaudet, of the Taxpayers Federation, applauds the government for
releasing such figures, but says they illustrate a troubling trend.
"These lists always reveal that working for government appears to be a
ticket to the good life, but it shouldn't be," he said.
"There's a substantial, and growing, gap between private and public
compensation. The average taxpayer gets agitated by the recognition of
just how lucrative it is to work for government.
"No one suggests they shouldn't be paid fairly, but at what point does
fairness start to get obscene?"
Charles Cirtwill, of the Atlantic Institute for Market Studies, a
think tank, says most of the salary ranges are unsurprising. Nuclear
engineers, he noted as an example, have to be compensated properly.
But, he says, the salary levels show the province is caught in a tough
spot: how to cut costs while remaining competitive with wages?
According to Cirtwill, the government must be willing to share the
pain between both those on the high and low end of the government pay
scale.
"They can no longer afford to run government as they used to," he said.
"This is the harsh reality that governments are going to be facing.
They need to take a serious look at government spending. They're going
to have to start making hard choices about things they want to stop
doing."
Other notable salaries include a host of government officers who made
between $125,000 and $150,000.

Fair use
"You will have to suffer the consequences, just like everybody else."
-Scott Agnew,
Web Services Manager
CanadaEast Interactive
Wow. What a bad-ass.
This is too hilarious:
http://tinyurl.com/2f7kao
Oh man.
The "Irving Empire," here exemplified (sp.?) by no-nonsense web
employee Scott Agnew, is many things, but I had no reason to believe-
until now- that petty was one of them.
What do you call it when the billion-dollar company that owns every
newspaper in the province, goes after an unpaid blogger on the
internet for something this utterly inconsequential?
Please, whoever, this Agnew guy's boss is, for the sake of Irving's
good public image in this province: rein him in now.
Petty. Petty. Petty.
But what of the merits of the case? Will Google actually pull
LeBlanc's blogger account? Maybe. Who knows. I would think not.
Has LeBlanc done something 'unlawful' as Mr. Agnew alleges?
Of course not.
Bloggers often talk about the Fair Use doctrine in US law, as a
defense against copyright infringement,
(http://www.chillingeffects.
LeBlanc's commenters have pointed out, usually when you quote small
paragraphs of a published work, and you're sued, you can argue Fair
Use and get away with it.
But there are several factors that determine Fair or unfair Use (in US
Law at least), beyond how big of a chunk you copy:
FACTOR 1: THE PURPOSE AND CHARACTER OF THE USE This factor considers
whether the use helps fulfill the intention of copyright law to stimulate
creativity for the enrichment of the general public. The defendant
must show how
a use either advances knowledge or the progress of the arts
through the addition
of something new. The more transformative the use, the more likely
it is to be
fair, whereas if defendant merely reproduces plaintiff's work
without putting it
to a transformative use, the less likely this use will be held to be fair.
Further, the more commercial defendant's use, the less likely such
use will be
fair.
FACTOR 2: THE NATURE OF THE COPYRIGHTED WORK The more creative, and
less purely factual, the copyrighted work, the stronger its
protection. In order
to prevent the private ownership of work that rightfully belongs
in the public
domain, facts and ideas are separate from copyright—only their particular
expression or fixation merits such protection. Second, if a
copyrighted work is
unpublished, it will be harder to establish that defendant's use
of it was fair.
See Salinger v. Random House, Inc., 650 F. Supp. 413 (S.D.N.Y.
1986), and in New
Era Publications Int'l v. Henry Holt & Co., 695 F. Supp. 1493 (S.D.N.Y.
1988). One commentator noted that "the original author's interest
in controlling
the circumstances of the first public revelation of his work, and
his right, if
he so chooses, [is to not] publish at all." While some argue that legal
protection of unpublished works should come from the law of
privacy rather than
the law of copyright, Congress amended the Fair Use doctrine to
explicitly note,
"The fact that a work is unpublished shall not itself bar a
finding of fair use
if such finding is made upon consideration of all the above factors."
FACTOR 3: THE AMOUNT AND SUBSTANTIALITY OF THE PORTION DEFENDANT USED In
general, the less of the copyrighted work that is used, the more
likely the use
will be considered fair. If, however, the defendant copied nearly
all of, or the
heart of, the copyrighted work, his or her use is less likely to
be considered
fair. See Harper & Row, Publishers, Inc. v. Nation Enters., 471 U.S. 539
(1985).
FACTOR 4: THE EFFECT OF DEFENDANT'S USE ON THE POTENTIAL MARKET OF THE
COPYRIGHTED WORK This factor is generally held to be the most
important factor.
See Harper & Row, Publishers, Inc. v. Nation Enters., 471 U.S. 539 (1985).
This factor considers the effect that the defendant's use has on
the copyright
owner's ability to exploit his or her original work. The court will consider
whether the use is a direct market substitute for the original
work. The court
may also consider whether harm to a potential market exists. The
burden of proof
here rests on the defendant for commercial uses, but on the
copyright owner for
noncommercial uses. See Sony Corp. v. Universal City Studios, 464
U.S. 417, 451
(1984). It is important to note that courts recognize that some
market harm may
come from fair uses such as parodies or negative reviews, but that
such market
harm does not militate against a finding of fair use.
Charles did indeed re-publish an entire story or two from a newspaper
on his blog (Factor 3), strike one for Charles, but he didn't make any
money from doing so (Factor 1) and he had no effect whatsoever on the
market in which the newspaper makes it's money (Factor 4).
I think a case could easily be made for a judge to laugh this out of
any court, and an equally strong case for us all to laugh and point
fingers of derision at Scott Agnew.

Pick a lane
(crossposted to CanadaEast)
Whenever I am driving in Montreal or Toronto, I often find myself
yelling "pick a lane" at some of my more aggressive and less logical
fellow drivers.
My advice to Jeannot Volpé is similar.
Much as he did this spring during the legislative sitting, rather than
picking one or two or three major issues and focussing on them and
making an effective critique of the government, his reaction to the
recent cabinet shuffle was unfocussed and made him look bitter and
overly negative when he could have used the opportunity to make some
political hay.
The cabinet shuffle had a number of areas that could have been seen as
flaws. No one likes to see more politicians at the top, and the
cabinet has two extra members. Women are way under represented and
that didn't improve with this shuffle. Volpé ignored those points.
Volpé criticized one area that makes sense - a floor crosser being
included in the cabinet - but then couldn't resist himself and threw
his credibility out the window in going way off track.
Rather than make an arguments about democracy, he went on a rant about
how Tories were mad, Liberal backbenchers would revolt and how the
dirty rat would never be re-elected. How about: "Crossing the floor is
an affront to democracy and an insult to voters. Shawn Graham should
never have justified this action by admitting these people into his
caucus and certainly shouldn't have rewarded it by putting one of them
into his cabinet"? That is a reasonable criticism that would resonate
with people, but with Volpé, it has to become petty and personal.
Then he makes up some nonsense about how this cabinet shuffle is an
insult to Francophone New Brunswickers because Hédard Albert and
Carmel Robichaud were "demoted". Huh? All cabinet ministers are equal
at the cabinet table and even if they weren't, the argument doesn't
make sense.
Albert moves from a department focussed on the machinations of
government whose primary role is to negotiate labour agreements with
the civil service under the close watch and direction of the premier
and finance minister to a ministry which has been touted by the
premier as a top priority.
Robichaud moves to an admittedly smaller department in terms of budget
but one which requires close relationships with the province's 103
municipalities during a period when the province is talking about
substantial change to municipal governance. These don't sound like
demotions to me. In Albert's case, it would seem a promotion and in
Robichaud's case it is, at least, a lateral move if not actually a
promotion as well.
Why the Tories are waiting until next fall to pick a leader I will
never figure out. Jeannot Volpé is the best thing that has happened to
the Liberal Party of New Brunswick in a generation!

Delete the off topic rant above NBPolitico. Otherwise, it just

I think both of the above are true, and I've said that in Charles
blog. When I gave him the camera it wasn't for the intention that he
take pictures on the sidewalk of people in suits and call them names.
They MAY deserve names, but that seemed a big judgment (to his credit
he doesn't do that much anymore and there's no doubt in my mind that
the poor suffer plenty at the hands of bureaucracy).
The critics of Charles have a hard time because its pretty well
known that Charles serves a valuable, if not INvaluable
service-despite the craziness.
Charles has proved just how easy it is to organize people (sort
of), whats surprising is that no groups have taken advantage of that.
If the NDP or the Green Party or even just individuals in those
parties had a blog like Charles, or better yet a podcast or hell even
a television show on youtube then I think we'd something really
interesting in New Brunswick. The fact nobody does, says a lot about
the organizations in the province.
I think if Charles were a member of an organization, or even had
an editor that he would be FAR more effective, so in that way I can
understand the people who lash out at him, because so many CAN"T do
what he does. A couple of years ago when he was just talking about
residential tenants act and the poor you didn't see nearly the number
of negative posts-but perhaps that was because there were fewer
viewers.
Charles will probably read this but he knows its just criticism of
his tactics. I think had he played it differently, he would be allowed
in the legislature right now. But thats just opinion, and people are
free to do what they want. I agree with the above, Irving goes after
him because hes so prominent, but he also does tread on copyright-so
there's validity to both criticisms.
He certainly doesn't give bloggers a bad name, any blogger worth
his salt would love to be that prominent-and effective (many of
Charles most aggregious posts seem specifically designed to piss off
the usual crowd of critics). But there's no doubt his 'journalistic
ethics' keep him marginalized. Unlike other media though, Charles has
shown that he does listen to criticism and 'self censors' much more
than people give him credit for. I've talked to Charles and heard many
of the things that 'don't make it into print', and Charles is MORE
than generous with his 'rants and slanders'.
Charles does often 'sound crazy', but those who call him so miss
one seemingly central truth- SOCIETY is crazy, politics most of all.

Parents unsure where to enrol children after release of
French-language report
Last Updated: Thursday, February 28, 2008 | 9:29 AM AT
CBC News
New Brunswick parents are waiting to hear whether the government
will be following up on a commission's recommendation to eliminate
early French immersion in the province.
Education Minister Kelly Lamrock said Wednesday that the
government has not yet decided on the commission's 18 recommendations,
but the idea of a universal, intensive French learning experience
appeals to him.
"I'm pro-bilingualism, and I think French is a fundamental
competency and bilingualism is a fundamental competency and therefore,
I like the idea of teaching it to everybody to the best of our
ability," Lamrock said.
The government will be waiting to see how New Brunswickers react
to the report and examining what resources would be needed to
implement its recommendations before making any decisions, said the
minister.
If any of the recommendations are accepted this spring, changes
could be made to the education system for September, he said.
New French program would begin in Grade 5
There's been weeks of uncertainty for parents who have been trying
to decide whether to enrol their children into French immersion or the
core French program while waiting for the report to be released, said
Jane Keith, executive director of the New Brunswick branch of Canadian
Parents for French.

Newspaper war: Now I'm laughing
Oh man, there's a story in the Carleton Free Press, or rather a
"publishers note" that claims to have caught the Bugle-Observer in
something of a circulation scandal!
hahaha!
Basically, the story says that the B-O wrote "5100 COPIES VERIFIED" at
the top of their front page a little while ago, the implication being
that their circulation is 5100.
Then the Free Press has a photograph that shows a white board in the
Bugle-Observer office (taken during some knd of literacy event). The
white board is full of circulation numbers, and actual and projected
numbers.
The apparent actual circulation during this period was 3,753, not 5,100
pthttbtbtbtbt!!!!
*I suppose you could argue that the 5,100 copies, is the total number
of copies printed, or something, but why would you say "Verified?"
What's verified, the number of papers you print? As anyone would know,
the number of papers you print is irrelevant. It's the number of
people who read or buy them.

The Bugle Observer's circulation numbers are actually auditted by
a third party newspaper group so the number advertised would be
verifiable. The number on he whiteboard was likely just dealer copies
or home subscriber copies alone. No scandal here and Ken Langdon would
know that. He's just trying to stir things up dishonestly. Seems
dishonesty comes natural to him.

No rules broken since no rules existed, RCMP watchdog concludes
Meagan Fitzpatrick
Canwest News Service
Monday, March 31, 2008
OTTAWA - The RCMP didn't break any rules when they announced a
criminal investigation into the federal Finance Department in the
middle of the 2005-06 election campaign, because there were no clear
rules to break, concludes a report by the RCMP's watchdog.
Paul Kennedy, chair of the Commission for Public Complaints
Against the RCMP, released his findings this morning on the Mounties'
controversial launch of a criminal investigation and found that there
were no RCMP policies or guidelines to specifically address the public
release of information in "highly sensitive" situations. His report
also cleared former commissioner Giuliano Zaccardelli and RCMP senior
management of any wrongdoing.
"Given the absence of any such specific policy, procedure or
guideline, I cannot find that any RCMP officer failed to comply with
applicable standards," Kennedy said in his report.
"I concur with the RCMP that its policies, procedures and
guidelines are inadequate to address the situation wherein public
disclosure of a police investigation may have an impact upon the
democratic process and may call into question public confidence in the
independence of the police."
At a news conference in Ottawa, Kennedy noted that Zaccardelli and
some other senior RCMP members did not co-operate with his review,
which he called "inappropriate."
"It does the RCMP,_I think, a disservice to have a situation where
we have half the members co-operating and the other half not, and no
seeming rationale for it," Kennedy told reporters. He said for there
to be "truly effective civilian oversight of police in this country,"
officers should be accountable for explaining why they "did or did not
do something."
Kennedy's report comes more than two years after the original
incident that some Liberals say changed the course of the 2006
election.
In November 2005, the Liberal finance minister at the time, Ralph
Goodale, made an announcement on income trust taxation and hours
before, a spike in trading volumes and prices for income trusts and
dividend stocks caused speculation that some Bay Street traders may
have been tipped off about Goodale's news.
About a month later, a few weeks after the election campaign had
begun, the RCMP revealed they were beginning a criminal investigation
into suggestions there may have been a leak from Goodale's office.
The disclosure rocked the campaign and support for the Liberals
and leader Paul Martin virtually dropped overnight after the
investigation was announced. The Conservatives went on to win the
election in January 2006.
Questions were raised about the timing of the RCMP's announcement
- in the middle of an election campaign - and how the probe was
announced. The news was first made public in a faxed letter from the
head of the RCMP at the time, Zaccardelli, to New Democratic Party MP
Judy Wasylycia-Leis, who had called on the Mounties' to investigate.
The RCMP didn't put out a press release confirming the investigation
was underway until five days after they contacted Wasylycia-Leis.
Kennedy's report said the RCMP knew that sending a letter to
Wasylycia-Leis would lead to a public confirmation of the
investigation and that the RCMP essentially "confirmed the obvious"
when they issued the press release.
Kennedy's report noted that Zaccardelli "provided the impetus and
direction" for the letter and the press release, and he said
Zaccardelli requested that Goodale's name be included in the press
release, which the RCMP said "was not consistent with past practice."
"However, there is no evidence that Commissioner Zaccardelli
relied on any improper considerations in coming to his decision," the
report said.
Kennedy said the RCMP need to issue a specific policy to guide
future situations and outlined what he thinks it should include.
Kennedy said that during election campaigns, the RCMP_should refrain
from disclosing the existence of a criminal investigation, but he left
room for exceptions. Kennedy said various factors should be considered
and the RCMP should exercise its discretion.
"In any instance where a disclosure occurs during the electoral
process concerning participants in that process, the commissioner of
the RCMP ought to be the decision-maker," Kennedy recommended, adding
that a written record of the rationale must also be provided.
At the end of its criminal investigation in February 2007, the
RCMP exonerated Goodale and his staff but laid charges against a
bureaucrat in the tax policy branch of the Finance Department. The
Mounties said Serge Nadeau used confidential information to gain a
personal benefit when he bought securities, and he was charged with a
criminal breach of trust.
Goodale has said the investigation and the political fallout was
the worst thing he had ever endured in his long political career.

I know what I sent you lady. Are you really that dumb to think I
am that stupid to trhreat or harass anyone? I have had enough of the
malicious slander and false allegations by your hubby Scotty Baby
Agnew and his corrupt lawyers and cops plas.
FYI I had no idea whatsoever that Scotty Baby was your hubby but
rest assured I was more than delighted to find out that fact from the
legal counsel who takes to him in bed. Trust the fact that I am not
that samrt to know about Scotty Baby and you. I had not clue as to
your relationship. As I clearly stated int he emails last night I was
contacting you because of your other associates who pretend to be
concerned about French education were making fun of me bigtime
yesterday as I asked everyone and his dog if they understood the email
I sent you and them a while ago.
As soon as you made a liar out of yourself to me yesterday lady I
clearly told you that I enjoyed suing lawyers(particularly ones who
make false allegations to cover their nasty arses) and hung up because
you are a lawyer and a woman too. Such people are the first to make
bullshit criminal allegations. I was not shocked to get your malicious
response today but in fact delighted. Your relationship about Scotty
Baby was mana from heaven if there is such a place.
For the record you know as well as I that the digital evidence I
sent you is largely the same material your hubby requested last summer
as he was attacking Chucky Leblanc for the benefit of the Irving
Empire. As you two have your little pillow pow wow tonight know that I
know you both know that my documents include evidence of murder. As a
criminal lawyer you should well understand the ramifications of that
simple fact Correct? If not look it up in the Criminal Code of two
purportedly profound democracies that I am aperson of. As you can see
I have notified the Attorney General, the RCMP and the Ministers of
Public Safety and Fat Fred City's Finest about my indignation towards
your severe lack of integrity and that of your hubby. I am also having
a friend contact the RCMP on the phone on my behalf so that the RCMP
and I can discuss your malicious false allegations ASAP.
I repeat Cya'll in Court.

Mayor Ivan Court VS The Telegraph-Journal
Once again, Saint John is in the news.
Once again, it's because our loudmouth Mayor is refusing to accept
there is anything wrong (with anything) in the city.
This time, he is blaming the Telegraph-Journal for negative coverage.
While I won't deny that he is getting negative coverage, I do disagree
with the reason for it. It is not due to a grudge at the newspaper -
it's because Ivan Court is doing a poor job.
This is a Mayor who thinks it's better to build parking lots instead
of buildings, gives city staff raises for no reason, and wants to
spend massive amounts of money on a new police complex (while refusing
to admit the city's pension plan is hemorrhaging taxpayers money).
Yeah, it's the newspapers fault all right…
Here is a clip from the story:
In Monday night's council meeting, Court remarked that the
Telegraph-Journal has been increasingly negative in its coverage of
him and city hall staff over the last couple of years, so he wants to
fight back.
The mayor told councillors the next Telegraph-Journal employee he'll
speak to will be publisher Jamie Irving, and he'll do it in a
broadcast debate at a media outlet not owned by the powerful Irving
family.
Until then, he's refusing all interview requests from the paper — and
banning it from his office.
"As of today, I've asked my staff to cancel the Telegraph-Journal.
It's my first budget cut," he said. "It will save the citizens of
Saint John, from my office, $190."
The Telegraph-Journal is owned by Brunswick News Inc., which is owned
by the Irvings. The paper is distributed provincewide, but its city
section is specifically focused on Saint John and the counties of
southern New Brunswick.
The worst part about this is the fact that he will go to such lengths
to save $190, yet he does nothing when the city's Pension Plan costs
us millions of dollars - he refuses to admit that anything is wrong.
My favorite part of the article is the quotes from the
Telegraph-Journal's Editor Shawna Richer:
"The problem is not with the newspaper. The problem is with the
culture of inefficiency and sometimes questionable leadership at city
hall. And that's something that our newspaper, newspapers everywhere,
cover," Richer told the CBC on Tuesday.
"This isn't personal," she said.
"This is, you know, our job is to advocate for the people … for the
taxpayers and their residents. And any good newspaper would take
exactly the same position," she said.
Once again, the Mayor makes us all look bad, and we will be left
paying (literally) for his screw-ups for some time to come.

"Once again, the Mayor makes us all look bad"
How so?
If the problem really lies with the current group of politicians, what
difference would it make to a saint johnner's image if they refuse to
speak with some Bermudan conglomerate's mouthpiece? The Irvings have
had a chance to get their story out there exclusively for many years
regarding the supposed malfeasance of Saint John representatives.
Perhaps by pointing out how ridiculous Irving International's
strangehold on your information has become.
ShawnJanuary 12th, 2009 at 10:00 pm
Sorry, but it seems like a week doesn't go by without the Mayor making
the news because of his "my way or the highway" approach.
If he can dish it - he should be able to take.
DianneJanuary 13th, 2009 at 9:06 pm
Why was the city paying for their new paper in the first place, pretty
bad they can't even pay for a news paper without it being charged to
the people of Saint John.

A letter to support my complaint about various police forces in New
Brunswick will follow these emails just as I promised on the phone to
you people today.
I have no understanding as to why the Police Commission nor anyone
else holding a governmental mandate in the Province of New Brunswick
has never called me back or answered one email in nearly four years.
Shawn Graham should at least recognize his own documents to my framer
friend, Werner Bock from the time when he sat in opposition and was
the agricutural critic at the same time .
It appears to me that I am not the only one to get mad at the
malicious incompetence of John Foran and the cops of New Brunswick.
What is even more interesting though is the fact that John Foran was
once mad at the Police Commission and they way they investigated
things so secretly against the public's best interests. EH Mr. Volpe?
Rest assured that I ain't holding my breath for the police to continue
to harass me anymore after their nonsense yesterday. Nor will I wait
to see Wayne Steeves say or do the right thing after he has covered up
my concerns about the severe lack of police integrity for his politcal
party's benefit for four god damned years.

For the recod these Youtubes that are this arseholes favoutites were
created by the RCMP and I have no doubt whatsoever the people
slandering me are cops as well.

Mr. David R Amos

Dear Mr. Amos:
On a number of occasions you have called or sent e-mails our office to
raise matters which are of pressing concern to you.
Each time we have tried to respond by explaining to you the relatively
narrow mandate of this Commission and the limits of our powers to deal
with the matters which are of concern to you. I must stress, once
again, that the purpose of this Commission is to provide the public
with an opportunity to make complaints concerning the conduct of
members of the RCMP in the performance of their duties. We have
neither the expertise nor the legal authority to permit us to become
involved in issues beyond the scope of this mandate.
While it is clearly not the intention of the Commission to prevent you
from making complaints against members of the RCMP, an analysis of
your numerous contacts with the Commission indicates that your
concerns fall well outside the confines of our mandate. Further, your
frequent e-mails have been disruptive and unproductive for both you
and for the staff of this office.
Should you determine that some point in the future you have a
complaint concerning the conduct of a member of the RCMP in the
performance of his or her duties, please submit it to the Commission
by Canada Post only. As of now, your e-mails will be deleted unread.
Yours truly,
Andrée Leduc

Dear Mr. Amos,
Thank you for your follow up e-mail to me today. I was on days off over
the holidays and returned to work this evening. Rest assured I was not
ignoring or procrastinating to respond to your concerns.
As your attachment sent today refers from Premier Graham, our position
is clear on your dead calf issue: Our forensic labs do not process
testing on animals in cases such as yours, they are referred to the
Atlantic Veterinary College in Charlottetown who can provide these
services. If you do not choose to utilize their expertise in this
instance, then that is your decision and nothing more can be done.
As for your other concerns regarding the US Government, false
imprisonment and Federal Court Dates in the US, etc... it is clear that
Federal authorities are aware of your concerns both in Canada and the
US. These issues do not fall into the purvue of Detachment policing in
Petitcodiac, NB.
It was indeed an interesting and informative conversation we had on
December 23rd, and I wish you well in all of your future endeavors.
Sincerely,
Warren McBeath, Cpl.

First things first meet Lenny Gold, Dougy Foster and Joey Podwika. You
can be certain that these wicked bastards know exactly who I am and
are no doubt quite nervous that the Feds have not figured out a way to
shut me up yet.
Everybody knows that far away corporate lawyers such as these three
stooges have been making the big score off us dumb Maritimers forever
and a day and have been laughing their nasty arses off at us all the
way to their buddies' bank. They appear to fear only one Maritimer and
that is yours truly. Ask them if I am liar or not as I speak of the
Bank Fraud Tax Fraud, Securities Fraud and Murders that you are afraid
to talk about. Shawn Graham should know everthing he partied hardy
with my G.A.L. Brian Bixby's Law firm in Beantown one year ago and I
effected an introduction with the lawyer Leonard Gold because that
very dumb Maritimer came to Beantown to talk to many evil Yankees ten
times more worldly wise than Shawny Baby ever could be.
Your laments Bobby Baby about lost water really rot my socks. You
should know I covered that base years ago and everybody just ran away
scared. Ask the Minister Larry Cannon why I laughed when he gave out a
little federal gold just before Bernie Lord had the writ dropped in
2006 in the provincial election. It was very telling thing just like
all the money being passed out right now.
I noticed that you and all you NDP pals ignored the fact that I ran in
that election as well as the Fed one and the one in Nova Scotia
earlier that year. Yea I saw you and Pat Hannratty ducking out the
back just as I walked in that night in January of 2006. Why you didn't
answer my friend Jack's letter either spoke to your personal integrity
EH? If Rob Moore or none of the Conservatives on the Hill faraway
won't talk to you just ask the lawyer Smith in Saint John the boss of
the NB Securities Commission if I didn't raise a little Hell while he
filled the other lawyer Nicholson's boots in PUB just long enough to
cram the pipeline through to the trunk while the election was on and I
was intervening in the pipeline matter in Saint John at the same time
and Norm Miller and his lawyer ignored my arguments but read my words
about it all on the web all the same.
Better yet why not have some fun and ask the very strange PCS dudes in
Sussex why they had my photo posted at the gate and the RCMP were to
be called if I made an appearance there while I was running against
your pal John Carty in Fat Fred City. Your clue to their malice is UBS
and another lawyer named Dave Aufhauser whom I have been battling with
for six long years. Do you even know who he is? Rest assured Lenny,
Dougy and Joey do.
Whereas you trust the words of the very malicious CBC or the Irvings
and not mine read what the CBC were saying one year ago. Then read
what the local Irving rag wrote about me four god damned years ago.
For the record Bobby Baby I still remember you commenting on the
trouble I was having with the Feds so that my minor son could return
to the USA to comfort his mother and how little milk of human kindness
you have had in your greedy little PHD soul ever since. Can ya tell I
don't like you not even a little bit?
http://www.cbc.ca/canada/new-
Read on Teacher pay particular attention to my words about oil and
gas.and crossborder public corruption. For the record I have always
considered the water in Penobsquis a federal matter concerning the NEB
and if they ignore me then maybe i would take it up in the Federal
Court. It won't go anywhere though if Maritimers don't finally wise up
start listening to me.
FYI I have started to upload some of my ducument for the public to
view. They can be found here and there will be a great deal more to
follow as my time allows.
http://www.scribd.com/people/
This Maritimer Danny Boy Fitzgeral who is studying for his PHD in
Holland made several interesting blogs about me as he attacked my
integrity. In the end methinks I may have turned him my way and in
return I left his school out of my battles.

Perhaps you should study them sometime EH Teacher? You should take
careful notice that college degrees mean less than nothing to me. Just
like any true Maritimer it is fighters, foresters, farmers and
fishermen I admire not rich snots that do not understand the meaning
of hard work. That said it does appear that Danny Boy does work very
hard on his blog. I do know how long such things take and his blog is
a fine and as fancy as anyones and constantly updated. I particularly
apprciate the fact he leaves his comments open without moderation.
Also for the record I signed your Fake Left friends' petition.
Penobsquis Deserves Safe Water
98 Fran Oliver There is no excuse for this situation. A responsible
provincial government and a responsible corporation would never allow
local families to bear the financial and social burden, likely
resulting from a provincial mining operation, while government and
corporation choke on huge profits.
99 David Raymond Amos Ask Garth Moore why my picture is posted at the
gate while I ran for Parliament will ya?
My friends tell me tha the Photo the PCS dudes had posted as some sort
of criminal the RCMP were watching out for was clipped from the pages
of the Kings County Record that contained the following articles.
The following email and two deleted blogs can be found within one
pigheaded Maritimer's blog about government injustice. After the
Irvings had his pal's Chucky Leblanc' former blog wiped out I had to
tease and torture him into doing the right thing and allowing just one
of my comments to stand. Some much for Freedom on Speech on the
Internet when even Maritime bloggers are unethical EH teacher?
For the record only the Gypsy and Danny Boy fitzgerald have allowed
all of my comments to stand the test of time and ethics. Thus far so I
must give credit where credit is due. Your chosen profession such as
it is should at least understand that EH Mr. Moir?
Here is my last post in the blogs tonight. Obviously I do not pretend
to be somebody I am not. N'est Pas?

Hello Lisa,
David Amos asked me to contact you. I met him last June after he became
an independent (not representing any political party) candidate in our federal
election that was held June 28. He was a candidate in our constituency of
Fundy (now called Fundy-Royal).
I wrote a profile story about him, as I did all other candidates. That
story appeared in the Kings County Record June 22. A second story, written
by one of my reporters, appeared on the same date, which was a report on
the candidates' debate held June 18.
As I recall David Amos came last of four candidates in the election.
The winner got 14,997 votes, while Amos got 358.
I have attached the two stories that appeared, as well as a photo
taken by reporter Erin Hatfield during the debate. I couldn't find the photo
that ran, but this one is very similar.

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.

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 sai...
