Friday, 18 September 2015 David Raymond Amos Versus The Crown T-1557-15
Court File No. T-1557-15
FEDERAL COURT
BETWEEN: DAVID RAYMOND AMOS
Plaintiff and
HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN
Defendant
STATEMENT OF CLAIM
The Parties
1. HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN (Crown) is Elizabeth II, the Queen of England, the Protector of the Faith of the Church of England, the longest reigning monarch of the United Kingdom and one of the wealthiest persons in the world. Canada pays homage to the Queen because she remained the Head of State and the Chief Executive Officer of Canada after the Canada Act 1982 (U.K.) 1982, c. 11 came into force on April 17, 1982. The standing of the Queen in Canada was explained within the 2002 Annual Report FORM 18-K filed by Canada with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). It states as follows:
“The executive power of the federal Government is vested in the Queen, represented by the Governor General, whose powers are exercised on the advice of the federal Cabinet, which is responsible to the House of Commons. The legislative branch at the federal level, Parliament, consists of the Crown, the Senate and the House of Commons.”
“The executive power in each province is vested in the Lieutenant Governor, appointed by the Governor General on the advice of the federal Cabinet. The Lieutenant Governor’s powers are exercised on the advice of the provincial cabinet, which is responsible to the legislative assembly. Each provincial legislature is composed of a Lieutenant Governor and a legislative assembly made up of members elected for a period of five years.”
2. Her Majesty the Queen is the named defendant pursuant to sections 23(1) and 36 of the Crown Liability and Proceedings Act. Some of the state actors whose duties and actions are at issue in this action are the Prime Minister, Premiers, Governor General, Lieutenant Governors, members of the Canadian Forces (CF), and Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP), federal and provincial Ministers of Public Safety, Ministers of Justice, Ministers of Finance, Speakers, Clerks, Sergeants-at-Arms and any other person acting as Aide-de-Camp providing security within and around the House of Commons, the legislative assemblies or acting as security for other federal, provincial and municipal properties.
3. Her Majesty the Queen’s servants the RCMP whose mandate is to serve and protect Canadian citizens and assist in the security of parliamentary properties and the protection of public officials should not deny a correspondence from a former Deputy Prime Minister who was appointed to be Canada’s first Minister of Public Safety in order to oversee the RCMP and their cohorts. The letter that helped to raise the ire of a fellow Canadian citizen who had never voted in his life to run for public office four times thus far is quoted as follows:
“Mr. David R. Amos Jan 3rd, 2004 153Alvin Avenue Milton, MA U.S.A. 02186
Dear Mr. Amos
Thank you for your letter of November 19th, 2003, addressed to my predecessor, the Honourble Wayne Easter, regarding your safety. I apologize for the delay in responding.
If you have any concerns about your personal safety, I can only suggest that you contact the police of local jurisdiction. In addition, any evidence of criminal activity should be brought to their attention since the police are in the best position to evaluate the information and take action as deemed appropriate.
I trust that this information is satisfactory.
Yours sincerely
A. Anne McLellan”
4. DAVID RAYMOND AMOS (Plaintiff), a Canadian Citizen and the first Chief of the Amos Clan, was born in Sackville, New Brunswick (NB) on July 17th, 1952.
5. The Plaintiff claims standing in this action as a citizen whose human rights and democratic interests are to be protected by due performance of the obligations of Canada’s public officials who are either elected or appointed and all servants of the Crown whose mandate is to secure the public safety, protect public interests and to uphold and enforce the rule of law. The Crown affirms his right to seek relief for offences to his rights under section 24(1) of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms (Charter). Paragraphs 6 to 13 explain the delay in bringing this action before Federal Court and paragraphs 25 to 88 explain this matter.
6. The Plaintiff states that pursuant to the democratic rights found in Section 3 of the Charter he was a candidate in the elections of the membership of the 38th and 39th Parliaments in the House of Commons and a candidate in the elections of the memberships of the legislative assemblies in Nova Scotia (NS) and NB in 2006.
7. The Plaintiff states that if he is successful in finding a Chartered Accountant to audit his records as per the rules of Elections Canada, he will attempt to become a candidate in the election of the membership of the 42nd Parliament.
8. The Plaintiff states that beginning in January of 2002, he made many members of the RCMP and many members of the corporate media including employees of a Crown Corporation, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) well aware of the reason why he planned to return to Canada and become a candidate in the next federal election. In May of 2004, all members seated in the 37th Parliament before the writ was dropped for the election of the 38th Parliament and several members of the legislative assemblies of NB and Newfoundland and Labrador (NL) knew the reason is the ongoing rampant public corruption. Evidence of the Plaintiff’s concerns can be found within his documents that the Office of the Governor General acknowledged were in its possession ten years ago before the Speech from the Throne in 2004. The Governor General’s letter is as follows:
“September 11th, 2004 Dear Mr. Amos,
On behalf of Her Excellency the Right Honourable Adrienne Clarkson, I acknowledge receipt of two sets of documents and CD regarding corruption, one received from you directly, and the other forwarded to us by the Office of the Lieutenant Governor of New Brunswick.
I regret to inform you that the Governor General cannot intervene in matters that are the responsibility of elected officials and courts of Justice of Canada. You already contacted the various provincial authorities regarding your concerns, and these were the appropriate steps to take.
Yours sincerely. Renee Blanchet Office of the Secretary to the Governor General”
9. The Plaintiff states that the documents contain proof that the Crown by way of the RCMP and the Minister of Public Safety/Deputy Prime Minister knew that he was the whistleblower offering his assistance to Maher Arar and his lawyers in the USA. The Governor General acknowledged his concerns about the subject of this complaint and affirmed that the proper provincial authorities were contacted but ignored the Plaintiff’s faxes and email to the RCMP and the Solicitor General in November of 2003 and his tracked US Mail to the Solicitor General and the Commissioner of the RCMP by way of the Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade (DFAIT) in December of 2003 and the response he received from the Minister of Public Safety/Deputy Prime Minister in early 2004. One document was irrefutable proof that there was no need whatsoever to create a Commission of Inquiry into Maher Arar concerns at about the same point in time. That document is a letter from the US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Office Inspector General (OIG complaint no. C04-01448) admitting contact with his office on November 21, 2003 within days of the Plaintiff talking to the office of Canada’s Solicitor General while he met with the US Attorney General and one day after the former Attorney General of New York (NY) and the former General Counsel of the SEC testified at a public hearing before the US Senate Banking Committee about investigations of the mutual fund industry.
Here is a comment I made in CBC before I called their offices

Brenda Murphy was installed as New Brunswick's 32nd lieutenant-governor during a formal ceremony Tuesday at the legislative assembly in Fredericton.
In her first speech as lieutenant-governor, Murphy spoke about her passion for social justice.
"Effective change can happen when we work together to build an inclusive, equitable society, address systemic barriers and support one another," she said.
"Having experienced New Brunswick through several different lenses, I am looking forward to bringing that diverse perspective to this role and to continuing to serve the people of our province."
Murphy, 60, of Grand Bay-Westfield, succeeds Jocelyne Roy Vienneau, 63, who died Aug. 2 following a battle with cancer.
Murphy was sworn in during an informal ceremony on Sept. 8 to allow for the immediate commencement of her duties.
Premier Blaine Higgs, who hosted Tuesday's official ceremony, thanked Murphy for her leadership in social justice and making "a profound difference in the lives of many New Brunswickers."
"I know she will continue to inspire others and contribute to the betterment of our province as lieutenant-governor, and I look forward to working with her."
Murphy spent more than two decades as the head of the Saint John Women's Empowerment Network before retiring in April and has served on advisory councils on poverty and the status of women at the federal and provincial levels.
She served three terms as a town councillor in Grand Bay-Westfield and has volunteered with a variety of organizations over the years, supporting housing, justice and equality for women.
Lieutenant-governors are appointed by Julie Payette, the Governor General of Canada, on the recommendation of the prime minister. They serve terms of at least five years.

Reply to @David Raymond Amos: Methinks Madame Murphy should not deny the fact that I contacted her office again a N'esy Pas Mr Higgs?
RCMP in New Brunswick now say they did not receive a complaint from within the office of the lieutenant-governor that prompted their investigation of "financial irregularities." (New Brunswick government)
RCMP in New Brunswick now say they did not receive a complaint from within the office of the lieutenant-governor that prompted their investigation of "financial irregularities."
A spokesperson for the police force told CBC News on Friday that the complaint came from the office, but Sgt. Chantal Farrah said Saturday "that's not the case."
Farrah said the force was contacted by the federal Department of Canadian Heritage and New Brunswick's Office of the Comptroller, which acts as an internal government auditor.
On Friday, a provincial spokesperson said the federal department and the provincial office had done a joint audit and brought its findings to the RCMP.
No charges have been laid. The investigation was opened Aug. 2, the same day Lt.-Gov. Jocelyn Roy Vienneau died.

Premier Blaine Higgs said in a statement he may consider asking the auditor general to look into the matter, but it all depends on the result of the investigation.
"Where this is an ongoing RCMP investigation we won't be making any further comments," he said.
A new lieutenant-governor has not been appointed yet, so this investigation comes at a time when there is no one to sign cabinet orders or approve cabinet decisions.
Parliamentary expert Lyle Skinner said New Brunswick is lucky the legislature is not sitting in the summer.
"You never know when some type of urgent government decision needs to be made, [which] can't happen because of the office being vacant," he said.
Skinner said 21 days without a representative of the Crown is a record for New Brunswick. The previous record of 16 days was reached when John Boyd died in office on Dec. 4, 1893.
Lieutenant-governors serve a minimum term of five years unless they resign early, so an appointment to replace Roy Vienneau was widely expected this fall regardless.
What about the federal election?
Skinner said there is no concern that the federal election will get in the way of appointing a lieutenant-governor, if it takes that long to appoint one.
Canada has a caretaker convention, which says government should restrict itself to routine and non-controversial decisions when election time is close.
The Canada Elections Act says a campaign can be a maximum of 50 days, which means the writs for this year's election can't be be issued until Sept. 1.
"This is 10 days away," he said. "If it gets to the point where the position is not filled by then, the caretaker convention would kick in."
