Hey

For the PUBLIC I after I heard with what Bob Hatheway said today over the CBC airwaves,  called his office as soon as possible to let him know that fact and that I will publishs this email right here.

http://davidraymondamos3.blogspot.ca/2016/10/i-just-called-and-left-messages-with.html

After listening to CBC today and the latest game the Liebranos are playing with Election NB I can't help but wonder if the lawyer Michael.Quinn knows that Judge Richard Bell mentioned him during this hearing last year.

Liberals seek Elections NB probe of all PC leadership candidates
Liberals want investigation for 'potentially illegal activity' over tax receipt offer for donations
CBC News Posted: Oct 07, 2016 7:00 AM AT

In late August, Hatheway ordered an end to the fundraising scheme and forbid any of the money raised by it to be transferred to the Allen campaign.

But Liberals say those actions were not enough and want Elections New Brunswick to scrutinize Allen's finances in detail, check the six other candidates as well and then issue a public report on its findings before this month's convention.

"There should be a thorough investigation of this whole matter and an audit undertaken of all donations made to the local PC association and the Mike Allen campaign since Mr. Allen announced his candidacy," wrote Belliveau.

"We believe the integrity of the process requires that all of the campaigns be scrutinized for this potentially illegal activity. We also believe it is in the public interest for these investigations to be completed and their results publicised prior to the leadership convention on Oct. 22."
Mike Allen

Liberals offered no evidence in their complaint that any campaign other than Allen's has done anything questionable and Belliveau was not available to answer questions about why he wants everyone investigated.

Instead Arseneault spoke on behalf of the Liberal Party and said PC members should welcome the complaint.

"I just think they need a good Liberal to stand up and maybe speak on their behalf," said Arseneault.

"The next leader of the Conservative Party of New Brunswick plays an important role in our system. We want to make sure that whoever that is, is someone who is bringing credibility and being up front with New Brunswickers on how they act each and every day."

Hatheway said the Allen fundraising problem was caught and dealt with and the Liberal complaint is not serious.

"I consider the [Allen] matter closed. There was some actual dollars that came in but PCNB is returning all of that money to donors," said Hatheway

"The leadership campaigns — all seven of them — are in full compliance with all the regulations. I suggest to Mr. Arseneault he spend more time worrying about the province of New Brunswick's affairs."

Docket: T-1557-15 Judge B. Richard Bell Decision December 23, 2015

Date: 20151223

Docket: T-1557-15

Fredericton, New Brunswick, December 23, 2015

PRESENT:    The Honourable Mr. Justice Bell

BETWEEN:

DAVID RAYMOND AMOS
Plaintiff

and

HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN
Defendant

ORDER

(Delivered orally from the Bench in Fredericton, New Brunswick, on December 14, 2015)

The Plaintiff seeks an appeal de novo, by way of motion pursuant to the Federal Courts Rules (SOR/98-106), from an Order made on November 12, 2015, in which Prothonotary Morneau struck the Statement of Claim in its entirety.

At the outset of the hearing, the Plaintiff brought to my attention a letter dated September 10, 2004, which he sent to me, in my then capacity as Past President of the New Brunswick Branch of the Canadian Bar Association, and the then President of the Branch, Kathleen Quigg, (now a Justice of the New Brunswick Court of Appeal).  In that letter he stated: 

As for your past President, Mr. Bell, may I suggest that you check the work of Frank McKenna before I sue your entire law firm including you. You are your brother’s keeper.  

Frank McKenna is the former Premier of New Brunswick and a former colleague of mine at the law firm of McInnes Cooper. In addition to expressing an intention to sue me, the Plaintiff refers to a number of people in his Motion Record who he appears to contend may be witnesses or potential parties to be added. Those individuals who are known to me personally, include, but are not limited to the former Prime Minister of Canada, The Right Honourable Stephen Harper; former Attorney General of Canada and now a Justice of the Manitoba Court of Queen’s Bench, Vic Toews; former member of Parliament Rob Moore; former Director of Policing Services, the late Grant Garneau; former Chief of the Fredericton Police Force, Barry McKnight; former Staff Sergeant Danny Copp; my former colleagues on the New Brunswick Court of Appeal, Justices Bradley V. Green and Kathleen Quigg, and, retired Assistant Commissioner Wayne Lang of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.

In the circumstances, given the threat in 2004 to sue me in my personal capacity and my past and present relationship with many potential witnesses and/or potential parties to the litigation, I am of the view there would be a reasonable apprehension of bias should I hear this motion. See Justice de Grandpré’s dissenting judgment in Committee for Justice and Liberty et al v National Energy Board et al, [1978] 1 SCR 369 at p 394 for the applicable test regarding allegations of bias. In the circumstances, although neither party has requested I recuse myself, I consider it appropriate that I do so.

AS A RESULT OF MY RECUSAL, THIS COURT ORDERS that the Administrator of the Court schedule another date for the hearing of the motion.  There is no order as to costs. 

“B. Richard Bell”
Judge

Hi Dominique,

This is definitely not casework but you might want ot show it to Alex
. . . but he does not appear to be our constituent, may not even live
in Canada anymore. Seems to have a complaint with Elections Canada
from when he ran for election in Fundy in 2004. Is angry with Peter
McKay for something.

Slim chance it is useful but maybe Alex could look.

FYI - he called from NS today and left a long message on our machine.
I have not listened to it . . . . seems to be sending this to Denise

Gagetown ferry fight continues amid vessel being stripped for sale
Save the Gagetown-Jemseg Committee members to meet with Transportation

(Note: CBC does not endorse and is not responsible for the content of

Gagetown-area residents say work to strip the local decommissioned
ferry started on Tuesday, but they still haven't given up hope of
seeing the service restored.

Some members of the Save Gagetown-Jemseg Ferry committee have a
previously scheduled meeting with Transportation Minister Bill Fraser
on Thursday morning, when they plan to continue their lobby, said
member Hugh Harmon.

"We're disgusted," said Harmon, who witnessed a truck and crane on the
ferry on Tuesday morning with the engine compartment open.

"They are taking the engine out of it and hauling all of the wiring
out of it and crippling it so it has to be sold as scrap and — end of
issue."
Equipment salvaged for fleet

The Department of Transportation confirmed early Tuesday evening that
workers were onsite, recovering salvageable items from the ferry
earlier in the day.

Items being recovered included a generator used to provide ancillary
power, a hydraulic pump and hydraulic motor and lifesaving equipment,
spokesman Shawn Berry said in an email to CBC News.

"These are pieces of equipment that can be used elsewhere in the fleet
if needed," he said.

Bill Fraser

Transportation Minister Bill Fraser said last week the decision to
cancel the Gagetown-Lower Jemseg ferry service will not be reversed.
(CBC)
"Saving components that are still usable is a normal practice when a
vessel is no longer in service and is being prepared for sale."

Just last week, the minister told CBC's Shift the decision to
eliminate the ferry service between Gagetown and Lower Jemseg was
final and the government would be issuing a tender within a couple of
weeks for the sale of the vessel, along with two other decommissioned
ferries.

"I sympathize with the people of Gagetown, I understand it was a very
tough decision for them to hear and to have to deal with," Fraser had
said. But "it's time to move on from the ferry debate."

    ' This isn't over until we say it's over. We're not going to stop.'
    - Hugh Harmon, Save Gagetown-Jemseg Ferry

Harmon disagrees. "Our opinion is this isn't over until we say it's
over. We're not going to stop; we told them that right from the
beginning," when it was announced in February, he said.

"We're not moving on. We've got nowhere to move on to … We can't
operate without it."

Without the free cable ferry service across the St. John River,
residents must drive about 70 kilometres round-trip for everything
from medical appointments to church services. By comparison, the ferry
trip takes only about seven minutes each way.

Committee members, who have posted "Save Our River Ferries" signs
throughout the St. John River Valley, argue the ferry underwent a
$143,000-refit last summer and would only cost between $150,000 and
$250,000 a year to operate.

But the government contends the 59-year-old vessel needed to be
replaced at an estimated cost of $5 million.

"The decision not to replace the vessel was based on the fact
significant capital investments were required to maintain the Gagetown
ferry service, that this ferry has among the lowest ridership of any
ferry in the system and that there is an alternate route using the
Trans-Canada Highway," Berry said on Tuesday.

The former Liberal government of Shawn Graham announced it would axe
the Gagetown ferry in 2009-10, but backed down on that decision after
a lobbying blitz.

The Belleisle Bay, Evandale, Westfield, Kennebecasis Island, Gondola
Point and Millidgeville ferries will remain in service, Fraser has
said.

FYI Last August I talked to a Ferry Man as i crossed the river heading
for Sussex. He told me they were approaching the Feds. i said that was
a good idea and  gave him some of my documents and my phone numbe my

moderated the debate in Hampton while his bosses in CBC denied that I

Yo Mr Sinclair why was I not surprised to see Kennedy dismiss me after
Victor Boudreau stepped up and added his two bits?
In my humble opinion you dudes nee to learn new tricks. Most of the
unions already went along with the sucker play so the retirees
pensions were never under threat anyway. The smart ones with enough
time in retired last year as soon as they smell what was in the wind.

Blaine Higgs just did his road trip to stir up a lot of shit so folks
would ignore his budget. Kinda like what Boudreau did with the ferries
in 2009. N'esyPas?

http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/new-brunswick/story/2013/04/24/nb-pension-reforms-liberals-legal.html

The Opposition Liberals are questioning whether proposed pension
reforms for retired civil servants are legal.

Retired civil servants could lose their annual cost-of-living
increases when markets perform poorly under the proposed changes.

Liberal MLA Victor Boudreau pointed to recent unrelated lawsuit where
a Court of Queen's Bench judge ruled an employer could not
unilaterally change the rules for cost-of-living increases in pension
benefits.

Still, Boudreau stopped short of calling the reforms illegal.

"We don't have the resources to do that type of legal reference," he said.

"But obviously the province does and could very easily refer this to
the courts to get a reference from them."

Finance Minister Blaine Higgs had acknowledged during one of a series
of public meetings with retirees last week that he wasn't sure he
could legally change the pension rules.

After checking with government lawyers, however, he said Tuesday he is sure.

"I received an answer that said yes, we could," said Higgs.

Will review case law
But Attorney General Marie-Claude Blais seemed unprepared for Liberal
questioning about the 2011 case, which involved hospital workers
across the province.

WITHOUT PREJUDICE

Mr. David Amos

Dear Mr. Amos:

This will acknowledge receipt of a copy of your e-mail of December 29,
2006 to Corporal Warren McBeath of the RCMP.

Because of the nature of the allegations made in your message, I have
taken the measure of forwarding a copy to Assistant Commissioner Steve
Graham of the RCMP °J" Division in Fredericton.

Sincerely,

Honourable Michael B. Murphy

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.

Rural residents upset at the loss of Service N.B. locations
By Emily Baron Cadloff

GAGETOWN, N.B. – Days after the provincial budget was tabled, many
communities across the province are readying themselves for change.

For six towns and villages, that means losing their Service New
Brunswick buildings.

Gagetown mayor Mike Blaney says this cut is unfairly targeted at rural
communities.

“Down the road, are we going to end up with a handful of urban centres
where all services must be accessed?” said Blaney. “Where will that
line be?”

Blaney says he’s disappointed in how the government made this cut. He
says there was no notice for the village or consultation with the
council.

“When the brunt of these cost cutting reductions lies with the rural
communities, then how is that fair?”

Without Service NB, Gagetown residents will have to travel to Oromocto
for service, something that’s not easy for the mostly senior residents
of the village.

Annette Currie came into Service NB Thursday to register her truck.
She’s trying to get her errands done before the post closes down, and
she has to travel to another outlet.

“You have to go to Burton and stand there for three or four hours. Or
you can go to Fredericton for three or four hours. Not the ten minutes
you can come down here, and be in and out,” she said.

For many residents, the closure of Service NB is disappointing, but
not surprising. Since the Gagetown ferry stopped running, they figured
it was just a matter of time.

“Same as everything else with the government,” said Currie. “Might as
well take this out. They’re taking the ferry out, and move us all to
town. That’s what they’re asking for.”

“What’s left?” asks Marjorie Page-Roberts. “They say it’s going to be
easier for seniors, but it’s not easier. I’m not happy.”

Wilf Hiscock, who speaks for the Save Gagetown Ferry group, says
losing the service would be a major blow.

"It would be devastating for the residents ... it's no different than
shutting down the Westmorland Street bridge [in Fredericton]," he
said.

The free cable ferry, which crosses the St. John River between
Gagetown and Lower Jemseg, is not allowed to operate during the
winter.

In a post on its Facebook site, the group says it has learned that
Transport Canada won't license the ferry for the 2016 season, "unless
the provincial government would make a commitment to replace our ferry
with a new one or at least another ferry approved by DOT. It is our
understanding that no commitment was ever made by the provincial
government."

(Shane Fowler/CBC)

Sarah Bustard, a spokesperson for the province's Finance and
Transportation and Infrastructure departments, says the cost of
replacing the ferry is estimated to be in the millions of dollars.

"The province is in the process of reviewing the decisions it will
have to make as part of the 2016-17 provincial budget," she said in an
email to CBC News.

Hiscock says he's concerned budget cuts will mean the end to a vital
service in his community.

"People have businesses to run. We have workers travel every day ...
safety is always a concern," he says, pointing out the ferry is the
shortest route for ambulance, fire and police. He says it's also a
tourist attraction.

"It's no different than a covered bridge to us," he said.

Raising a Little Hell- Lively Debate Provokes Crowd

By Erin Hatfield

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

The 1979 Trooper song Raise a Little Hell blared on the speakers at
the 8th Hussars Sports Center Friday evening as people filed in to
watch the Fundy candidates debate the issues. It was an accurate, if
unofficial, theme song for the debate.

The crowd of over 200 spectators was dwarfed by the huge arena, but as
they chose their seats, it was clear the battle lines were drawn.
Supporters of Conservative candidate Rob Moore naturally took the blue
chairs on the right of the rink floor while John Herron's Liberalswent
left. There were splashes of orange, supporters of NDP Pat Hanratty,
mixed throughout. Perhaps the loudest applause came from a row towards
the back, where supporters of independent candidate David Amos sat.

The debate was moderated by Leo Melanson of CJCW Radio and was
organized by the Sussex Valley Jaycees. Candidates wereasked a barrage
of questions bypanelists Gisele McKnight of the Kings County Record
and Lisa Spencer of CJCW.

Staying true to party platforms for the most part, candidates
responded to questions about the gun registry, same sex marriage, the
exodus of young people from the Maritimes and regulated gas prices.
Herron and Moore were clear competitors,constantly challenging each
other on their answers and criticizing eachothers' party leaders.
Hanratty flew under the radar, giving short, concise responses to the
questions while Amos provided some food for thought and a bit of comic
relief with quirky answers. "I was raised with a gun," Amos said in
response to the question of thenational gun registry. "Nobody's
getting mine and I'm not paying 10 cents for it."

Herron, a Progressive Conservative MP turned Liberal, veered from his
party'splatform with regard to gun control. "It was ill advised but
well intentioned," Herron said. "No matter what side of the house I am
on, I'm voting against it." Pat Hanratty agreed there were better
places for the gun registry dollars to be spent.Recreational hunters
shouldn't have been penalized by this gun registry," he said.

The gun registry issues provoked the tempers of Herron and Moore. At
one point Herron got out of his seat and threw a piece of paper in
front of Moore. "Read that," Herron said to Moore, referring to the
voting record of Conservative Party leader Steven Harper. According to
Herron, Harper voted in favour of the registry on the first and second
readings of the bill in 1995. "He voted against it when it counted, at
final count," Moore said. "We needa government with courage to
register sex offenders rather than register the property of law
abiding citizens."

The crowd was vocal throughout the evening, with white haired men and
women heckling from the Conservative side. "Shut up John," one woman
yelled. "How can you talk about selling out?" a man yelled whenHerron
spoke about his fear that the Conservatives are selling farmers out.

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

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

favourite possessions-motorcycles.

The Unconventional Candidate

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

By Gisele McKnight

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Amos has no intention of actively campaigning.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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