Irving Oil opposes new assessment criteria for Energy East pipeline
Irving said project will not influence greenhouse gas emissions

By Jacques Poitras, CBC News Posted: Jun 14, 2017 7:00 AM AT

"New transmission lines needed

NB Power said in its response to the NEB's request for comments that
there would need to be new transmission lines to power the pumping
stations.

Those lines would require a provincial Environmental Impact
Assessment, the utility said.

But it also said the NEB review's examination of electricity
generation "may impact matters of provincial jurisdiction in a more
than incidental fashion."

The Crown corporation said that's because the NEB may attach
conditions to the pipeline approval that would change the routing of
power lines already approved by provincial regulators.

The Conservation Council of New Brunswick said in its submission that
it supports the new NEB panel looking at upstream and downstream
emissions, marine traffic, and other issues it's considering adding as
new criteria."

Former public intervener asks to represent NB Power's residential ratepayers

Peter Hyslop gets support from P.E.I. consultant, who says residential customers need voice at rate hearings

By Robert Jones, CBC News Posted: Jun 14, 2017 6:00 AM AT



A former public intervener, Hartland lawyer Peter Hyslop is arguing residential customers need to be represented by their own lawyer at future rate hearings.

With parties lining up to argue for higher residential electricity bills at NB Power's upcoming rate design hearing, especially for people who use electric heat, a former public intervener is arguing residential customers need to be represented by their own lawyer — and he is proposing himself for the job.

Peter Hyslop
Hartland lawyer Peter Hyslop says the interests of residential ratepayers need to be heard. (CBC)

"The interests of the residential rate payers, as a class, are meritorious," Hartland lawyer Peter Hyslop wrote in a motion submitted to the Energy and Utilities Board this week.

"It is necessary for the proper completion of the record in this application that the interests of the residential rate class be presented."

Year-long review 


NB Power is in the middle of a year-long look at how it bills various customers for electricity. The review could result in prices charged by the utility changing dramatically.

Some of the most significant proposals are aimed at homeowners and apartment dwellers, including higher than average rate increases for that group, premium prices for electric heat and the possible adoption of different rates at different times of the day, different days of the week or different months of the year.

Companies that are already on record as favouring some of those ideas, including Enbridge Gas New Brunswick and J.D. Irving Ltd. have their own lawyers who will be presenting evidence and arguments in support of their positions.



Enbridge has long argued electric heat prices are artificially low in New Brunswick, making it more difficult for the company to attract customers while J.D. Irving has expressed concern industrial rates are too high, in part, because evidence has shown NB Power undercharges homeowners.

'Advocate in the public interest'


Heather Black, the current public intervener, will be participating at the hearing but she is not legally permitted to represent the interests of any single group, including residential customers. Instead she is exclusively required to "advocate in the public interest," even if the public interest is not necessarily favourable to homeowners.

"Legislation prohibits me from representing or advocating on behalf of a particular class of customers," Black wrote in a statement to CBC News.

"My role is to assist the Board by submitting evidence and advancing arguments that consider the broader public interest, which has many — sometimes conflicting — components."

Residential consumers are NB Power's largest customer group, accounting for 46 per cent of the utility's in-province sales and Hyslop is arguing it needs aggressive and well-financed representation to avoid unfair treatment.

Asks utility to pay costs


In an unusual manoeuvre that began two weeks ago, Hyslop's legal assistant, Carolanne Power, applied to intervene in the rate design hearing as a residential customer and then gave notice she would be asking for Hyslop to represent her — and all other residential customers — at NB Power's expense.

"She will be seeking an Order from the Board directing (NB Power) to pay her costs for the intervention, including but not limited to legal fees, professional advisors and all proper and necessary costs and expenses related thereto," reads Power's application.

pe-mi-orourke-hearing-300
P.E.I. energy consultant Robert O'Rourke agrees the residential rate class must be represented at hearings. (CBC)

Neither NB Power nor Hyslop would agree to an interview prior to their motion being heard Thursday but have submitted partial arguments in writing, including an affidavit from P.E.I. regulatory consultant Robert O'Rourke.

"I am of the view that the residential rate class must be represented in this matter to ensure that the proper evidence arguments and submissions before this Board can be properly presented," says O'Rourke's affadavit.

"In the absence of such evidence, representation and submissions I am of the view that a significant impact may result on today's residential rate class."

No response


NB Power did not immediately respond to questions about Hyslop's request that it pay his bills, but the request, if granted, could cost the utility hundreds of thousands of dollars.

The province has paid a number of private practice lawyers over the years to intervene at Energy and Utilities Board hearings, and the bill for expert and legal fees has never been less than $40,000 and several times exceeded $500,000.

Hyslop served as public intervener at a number of NB Power hearings more than a decade ago during the term of the Bernard Lord government.

The current rate design hearing is not scheduled until April 2018 but there are several months of pre-hearing activities, including the preparation of studies and expert evidence.

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

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
the US. These issues do not fall into the purvue of Detachment
and policing in Petitcodiac, NB.

It was indeed an interesting and informative conversation we had on

Integrity commissioner calls for tougher conflict-of-interest law

N.B. legislation should apply to apparent conflicts, not just actual ones, Alexandre Deschênes says

By Jacques Poitras, CBC News Posted: Jun 12, 2017 6:30 AM AT

Alexandre Deschênes's first act as commissioner was to deal with Victor Boudreau's 20 per cent investment in Shediac Campground Ltd., a proposed 700-site facility that has generated local opposition.

New Brunswick's integrity commissioner says the conflict-of-interest law for politicians should be toughened to clarify cases such as cabinet minister Victor Boudreau's former investment in a proposed campground near Parlee Beach.

Alexandre Deschênes said earlier this year that Boudreau's stake in the project did not put him in a conflict of interest but that the appearance of a conflict was "inevitable."

Unlike other conflict-of-interest laws, "our act does not apply to an apparent conflict of interest," he said in an interview with CBC News. "It's not in there."

Previous commissioners suggested law


Boudreau recused himself from Parlee Beach issues anyway, even though he didn't technically have to. The law said ministers aren't in a conflict if decisions that affect their private interests also apply to the general public.


"Mr. Boudreau could have gone on and said, 'I'm the minister of health and I'm going to make decisions that apply to the general public and the act allows it,'" Deschênes said.

"If you'd had the words 'apparent conflict of interest' [in the law] it would have been clear."

Deschênes pointed out two of his predecessors as conflict-of-interest commissioner, Pat Ryan and Stuart Stratton, recommended expanding the act to include the appearance of conflicts.

"It started out way back," he said. "We're looking at almost a decade here where the suggestion has been made that apparent conflict of interest ought to be included in the act. It's not been done.

"But as a commissioner, I will be following what they've been doing and I will be recommending it when I file a report."

Updated conflict act


The Gallant Liberals passed amendments to update the Members Conflict of Interest Act during the spring session of the legislature, but they did not include a ban on perceived conflicts.

Progressive Conservative MLA Brian MacDonald has also called for the Liberals to fix what he calls "a gap in the law."


Deschênes was appointed the province's integrity commissioner last year. The new role incorporates the role of conflict-of-interest watchdog and registrar of lobbyists, and in September it will also include the Right to Information and Protection of Privacy Act.

Deschênes's first act as commissioner was to deal with Boudreau's 20 per cent investment in Shediac Campground Ltd., a proposed 700-site facility that has generated local opposition.

As health minister, Boudreau oversees the public health offices, and his department was part of a working group looking at how to deal with fecal contamination at Parlee Beach. One option the group looked at was a moratorium on new development near the beach.

That would have affected the proposed campground.
 
'I told him, and he made it public, that the appearance of conflict in this case was absolutely inevitable. He couldn't get around it. It was there.' - Alexandre Deschênes

The law bans ministers from making decisions that affect their "private interest," but it makes an exception if the decision applies to the broader public, even if the minister would still benefit.

Deschênes said in his letter to Boudreau in March that "one could argue" a decision on a moratorium would affect the broader public.

"Under the act, he might have been entitled to continue to have discussions that applied to the general population, even though he was part of [the project] at that point," Deschênes said in an interview last week.

"I told him, and he made it public, that the appearance of conflict in this case was absolutely inevitable. He couldn't get around it. It was there."

An MP's perceived conflict matters


The federal conflict of interest code for MPs also includes an exception for decisions that affect the general public, but it includes an explicit reference to perceived conflicts.

Boudreau put his investment in a blind trust in 2014, which meant he had no role in the running of the business. But the value of his stake would have been affected by a moratorium on future development.


Parlee beach
In May, Victor Boudreau announced he was giving up his investment in the campground on Parlee Beach altogether.

He said in March he learned of the potential moratorium Feb. 28 and met with Deschênes March 2, the first date they could arrange it.

"That perception is the issue," Boudreau said at the time. "And if the perception is the issue, and the perception is what's going to be prevent us from getting to the bottom of it, then I'm prepared to recuse myself from all activities relating to this committee."

Last month he announced that he was giving up his investment in the campground altogether.

Deschênes said he believes most ministers and MLAs would do the same thing if he told them there was an apparent, but not actual, conflict.

"In most cases I think they will listen and they will do what has to be done to put an end to an apparent conflict of interest, although technically they could continue to do what they want to do."

Boudreau should recuse himself from anything government. How he got elected after the Atcon scandal is beyond belief. He personally signed off on removing the province's security in loan guarantees costing taxpayers more than $70 million. Why?

@Jeffrey Parker We can hold them accountable. All you have to do is sue them. Good luck finding a lawyer willing to stand before a judge appointed to the bench by their buddies. Hell two judges NB are former Conservative Attorney Generals who lost their seats in recent elections. Go figure who is putting the screws to us. Methinks its the Brotherhood of the Bar.

Last month Boudreau announced that he was giving up his investment in the campground altogether.

Past two days Parlee Beach had "No Swimming Advisory" and today as well. I wonder if Boudreau would have gave up his investment under the old water advisory system that he defended...Victor Boudreau dismisses call for Parlee Beach sign improvements. The health minister said people can "use their own judgement" on whether they want to go into the water.

@William Roberts I tried the water of the political sewer once in 2006 while intervening in the NEB Emera Pipeline hearing and I got all of 44 votes in Saint John Harbour. Trust that I was not surprised. I learned something long ago when my Father and his PC friends were disgusted that the lawyer Trudeau "The Elder" was having fun falsely claiming he said "Fuddle Duddle" on the Hill. In a nutshell it is that nobody gives a damn just as long as our politicians appear to be cool dudes. Nothing has changed since.

The selection of Dr. Louis Lapierre, recipient of the Order of Canada whose Medal was revoked because because of his recognized lack of needed competence which he falsified is a documented example of how strong this influence and consequences of this mis-guided forest management has destroyed the Fish and Wildlife habitat and populations in New Brunswick. This design of forest management supported by industry, impacts negatively on our Grand Children's heritage, forcing them to leave their native province because of lack of work.

http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/new-brunswick/integrity-commissioner-named-1.3885165

The Gallant government has introduced legislation to merge several
legislative watchdog positions into a single job and has chosen a
retired judge to take on the newly expanded role.

Alexandre Deschênes

Alexandre Deschênes, a retired New Brunswick Court of Appeal justice,
is to be the first integrity commissioner in New Brunswick.

Retired New Brunswick Court of Appeal justice Alexandre Deschênes will
become the province's first integrity commissioner, an appointment
supported by the opposition Progressive Conservatives and Green Party
Leader David Coon.

Premier Brian Gallant introduced a bill Wednesday to create the position.

For now, Deschênes fills the vacant position of conflict-of-interest
commissioner and will also oversee legislation governing the privacy
of personal health records.

Next July, Deschênes will add responsibility for the lobbyist registry
to his duties.

The Liberals say they will proclaim legislation to set up the registry
by next July. The law was passed by the previous PC government in 2014
but not enacted.

    Conflict of interest commissioner, MLAs have conflicting views on
transparency
    ​Commissioner wants mandatory privacy breach reporting
    N.B. legislature will study cutting independent watchdogs

And next September, after Anne Bertrand, the information and privacy
commissioner, finishes her seven-year term, that job will become part
of Deschênes's job as integrity commissioner.

An  independent study, done as part of the government's program
review,  recommended the merging of the legislative officer positions.

All parties in the legislature agreed on two other appointments
Wednesday: lawyer Michèle Pelletier as consumer advocate for insurance
and assistant deputy attorney general Kim Poffenroth as chief

October 24, 2016

Eleven New Brunswick lawyers were appointed Queen’s Counsel by the
Lieutenant-Governor of New Brunswick, the Honourable Jocelyne Roy
Vienneau, on Monday, October 24, 2016, at the Legislative Assembly in
Fredericton.

    Christa Bourque, Q.C., of Moncton
    Krista Lynn Colford, Q.C., of Fredericton
    The Honourable Alexandre Deschênes, Q.C., of Bathurst
    Edward L. Derrah, Q.C., of Fredericton

    The Honourable Dominic A. J. LeBlanc, Q.C., of Shediac
    Luc Marcoux, Q.C., of Florenceville-Bristol
    D. Andrew Rouse, Q.C., of Fredericton
    John R. Williamson, Q.C., of Fredericton

The distinction of Queen’s Counsel is conferred upon experienced
lawyers in recognition of their commitment to the principles of the
legal profession and contributions to their communities. Eligible
lawyers include those who have been members of the Law Society of New
Brunswick and have been engaged in the active practice of law in the
province for at least 15 years with extensive experience before the
courts or have demonstrated exceptional service to the profession.

 In the fall of this year, a committee consisting of the Chief Justice
of New Brunswick, J. Ernest Drapeau, the Attorney General of New
Brunswick and the President of the Law Society of New Brunswick, will
consider candidates for the next Queen’s Counsel appointments.

The distinction of Queen’s Counsel is conferred upon experienced
lawyers in recognition of their commitment to the principles of the
legal profession and contributions to their communities. The criteria

A regular member of the Law Society of New Brunswick who:

a) has been engaged in the active practice of law in the Province of
New Brunswick for at least fifteen years, with extensive experience
before the courts;

b) in the opinion of the Committee, merits the appointment by reason
of exceptional service to the legal profession.

order to be considered as a candidate for a Queen’s Counsel
appointment. Persons may either apply personally or may nominate a
member of the Law Society. All applicants will be treated equally by

Judge-moving bill aims to help Dominic LeBlanc, Tory MLA charges
Kirk MacDonald says Liberals drafted bill to help put Jolène Richard
and André Richard on court

By Jacques Poitras, CBC News Posted: Nov 24, 2016 6:03 PM AT

A Progressive Conservative MLA has taken the unusual step of naming
names — including that of a sitting provincial court judge — in his
attack on a proposed law on how Court of Queen's Bench judges are
transferred.

Kirk MacDonald told the legislature last week that he believes the
government bill was drafted to help the spouse and the brother-in-law
of federal Liberal MP Dominic LeBlanc, a close ally of Premier Brian
Gallant.
nb-andre-richard-jolene-richard

A Progressive Conservative MLA believes the Liberal government's
judge-moving bill was drafted to help have André Richard and Jolène
Richard appointed to the Court of Queen's Bench. (CBC)

"I will give you two names. I will give you Jolène Richard and André
Richard, two people I believe are looking for judicial appointments
here in New Brunswick," MacDonald said during second-reading debate on
the bill.

In fact, Jolène Richard is already a provincial court judge. André
Richard is her brother and a senior lawyer at Stewart McKelvey.

    Province names new judge, wife of MP Dominic LeBlanc

"Dominic LeBlanc has some judges that he wants to appoint in New
Brunswick, and the framework as it currently exists does not allow for
that to happen," MacDonald said.

André Richard stated Thursday he "had no involvement in the
government's decision to propose changes to the Judicature Act."

"As you know, my sister is already a judge who sits in Moncton. I fail
to understand why our names are being brought into this debate."
Bill gives veto to minister

The Liberal bill would amend the Judicature Act, which governs how
courts operate, to give the justice minister a veto over Chief Justice
David Smith of the Court of Queen's Bench transferring judges from one
court to another.
nb-chief-justice-david-smith

Court of Queen's Bench Chief Justice David Smith has transferred 13
judges since becoming chief justice in 1998. (Acadia University)

PC MLAs have hinted in the past about who they believe the bill was
designed to help. But until now, no one was willing to name them.

It's rare for politicians to draw sitting judges into partisan
debates, and the veteran Tory MLA did not offer any evidence to back
up his allegations. He turned down a request to explain his views in
an interview.
Parliamentary privilege

Parliamentary privilege protects members of the legislature from being
sued for defamation or held in contempt of court for comments they
make during proceedings. No such protection exists for things they say
outside the legislature.

Provincial court judges such as Richard are appointed by the province,
but Court of Queen's Bench justices are named by Ottawa. Both courts
are administered by the province, but the current law gives Smith the
power to move judges on his court on his own.

Smith has argued the bill would threaten the independence of the
courts, which could make it unconstitutional.
Bill brought back

The Liberals introduced the bill during the last session, but it
didn't pass before the session ended. They brought it back last week.

Justice Minister Denis Landry said last week the bill was designed to
bring "best practices" to court administration and end the pattern of
justices being named to smaller courthouses and then being transferred
soon after.

    Judge-moving legislation introduced again
    2 chief justices appear at odds over judge-moving bill
    7 things list reveals about controversial judge-moving bill

"This is what we want to correct," he said. "If we name a judge, they
should reside there, for a long period of time, not just two or three
months then move them where they want to go."

Asked whether he'd veto such a transfer, Landry said, "This is what we'll see."

Landry's department said Thursday it would not comment on MacDonald's
accusation.
Larger locations favoured

MacDonald said during last week's debate that it's true Court of
Queen's Bench justices are often appointed to smaller locations and
are then moved to one of the three largest cities.
Dominic LeBlanc

Federal Fisheries Minister Dominic LeBlanc is a close ally of New
Brunswick Premier Brian Gallant. (CBC)

He said that court postings in Moncton, Fredericton, and Saint John
are "The positions that everyone seems to want."

And he said the current system for moving judges, "which is controlled
by the chief justice, does not work for Dominic LeBlanc and the
Liberal Party of New Brunswick," MacDonald said.

    Upside to judge-moving bill touted by ex-constitutional lawyer
    Gallant government's judge-moving bill questioned by legal expert

"They want to change it. They want to have a situation where they have
a mechanism to control that decision and to effect change on that
decision."

In June, Smith transferred Justice Tracey DeWare from Woodstock to
Moncton and Justice Richard Petrie from Saint John to Woodstock.

DeWare was moved to fill a vacancy after Justice Brigitte Robichaud
switched to supernumerary, or part-time, status.

Jolène Richard did not respond to interview requests.

Little David Amos’ “True History Of War” Canadian Airstrikes And
Stupid Justin Trudeau

Canada’s and Canadians free ride is over. Canada can no longer hide
behind Amerka’s and NATO’s skirts.

When I was still in Canadian Forces then Prime Minister Jean Chretien
actually committed the Canadian Army to deploy in the second campaign
in Iraq, the Coalition of the Willing. This was against or contrary to
the wisdom or advice of those of us Canadian officers that were
involved in the initial planning phases of that operation. There were
significant concern in our planning cell, and NDHQ about of the dearth
of concern for operational guidance, direction, and forces for
operations after the initial occupation of Iraq. At the “last minute”
Prime Minister Chretien and the Liberal government changed its mind.
The Canadian government told our amerkan cousins that we would not
deploy combat troops for the Iraq campaign, but would deploy a
Canadian Battle Group to Afghanistan, enabling our amerkan cousins to
redeploy troops from there to Iraq. The PMO’s thinking that it was
less costly to deploy Canadian Forces to Afghanistan than Iraq. But
alas no one seems to remind the Liberals of Prime Minister Chretien’s
then grossly incorrect assumption. Notwithstanding Jean Chretien’s
incompetence and stupidity, the Canadian Army was heroic,
professional, punched well above it’s weight, and the PPCLI Battle
Group, is credited with “saving Afghanistan” during the Panjway
campaign of 2006.

What Justin Trudeau and the Liberals don’t tell you now, is that then
Liberal Prime Minister Jean Chretien committed, and deployed the
Canadian army to Canada’s longest “war” without the advice, consent,
support, or vote of the Canadian Parliament.

What David Amos and the rest of the ignorant, uneducated, and babbling
chattering classes are too addled to understand is the deployment of
less than 75 special operations troops, and what is known by planners
as a “six pac cell” of fighter aircraft is NOT the same as a
deployment of a Battle Group, nor a “war” make.

The Canadian Government or The Crown unlike our amerkan cousins have
the “constitutional authority” to commit the Canadian nation to war.
That has been recently clearly articulated to the Canadian public by
constitutional scholar Phillippe Legasse. What Parliament can do is
remove “confidence” in The Crown’s Government in a “vote of
non-confidence.” That could not happen to the Chretien Government
regarding deployment to Afghanistan, and it won’t happen in this
instance with the conservative majority in The Commons regarding a
limited Canadian deployment to the Middle East.

President George Bush was quite correct after 911 and the terror
attacks in New York; that the Taliban “occupied” and “failed state”
Afghanistan was the source of logistical support, command and control,
and training for the Al Quaeda war of terror against the world. The
initial defeat, and removal from control of Afghanistan was vital and
essential for the security and tranquility of the developed world. An
ISIS “caliphate,” in the Middle East, no matter how small, is a clear
and present danger to the entire world. This “occupied state,”
or“failed state” will prosecute an unending Islamic inspired war of
terror against not only the “western world,” but Arab states
“moderate” or not, as well. The security, safety, and tranquility of
Canada and Canadians are just at risk now with the emergence of an
ISIS“caliphate” no matter how large or small, as it was with the
Taliban and Al Quaeda “marriage” in Afghanistan.

One of the everlasting “legacies” of the “Trudeau the Elder’s dynasty
was Canada and successive Liberal governments cowering behind the
amerkan’s nuclear and conventional military shield, at the same time
denigrating, insulting them, opposing them, and at the same time
self-aggrandizing ourselves as “peace keepers,” and progenitors of
“world peace.” Canada failed. The United States of Amerka, NATO, the
G7 and or G20 will no longer permit that sort of sanctimonious
behavior from Canada or its government any longer. And Prime Minister
Stephen Harper, Foreign Minister John Baird , and Cabinet are fully
cognizant of that reality. Even if some editorial boards, and pundits
are not.

Justin, Trudeau “the younger” is reprising the time “honoured” liberal
mantra, and tradition of expecting the amerkans or the rest of the
world to do “the heavy lifting.” Justin Trudeau and his “butt buddy”
David Amos are telling Canadians that we can guarantee our security
and safety by expecting other nations to fight for us. That Canada can
and should attempt to guarantee Canadians safety by providing
“humanitarian aid” somewhere, and call a sitting US president a “war
criminal.” This morning Australia announced they too, were sending
tactical aircraft to eliminate the menace of an ISIS “caliphate.”

In one sense Prime Minister Harper is every bit the scoundrel Trudeau
“the elder” and Jean ‘the crook” Chretien was. Just As Trudeau, and
successive Liberal governments delighted in diminishing,
marginalizing, under funding Canadian Forces, and sending Canadian
military men and women to die with inadequate kit and modern
equipment; so too is Prime Minister Stephen Harper. Canada’s F-18s are
antiquated, poorly equipped, and ought to have been replaced five
years ago. But alas, there won’t be single RCAF fighter jock that
won’t go, or won’t want to go, to make Canada safe or safer.

My Grandfather served this country. My father served this country. My
Uncle served this country. And I have served this country. Justin
Trudeau has not served Canada in any way. Thomas Mulcair has not
served this country in any way. Liberals and so called social
democrats haven’t served this country in any way. David Amos, and
other drooling fools have not served this great nation in any way. Yet
these fools are more than prepared to ensure their, our safety to
other nations, and then criticize them for doing so.

Canada must again, now, “do our bit” to guarantee our own security,
and tranquility, but also that of the world. Canada has never before
shirked its responsibility to its citizens and that of the world.

Prime Minister Harper will not permit this country to do so now

I talked to Don Newman earlier this week before the beancounters David
Dodge and Don Drummond now of Queen's gave their spin about Canada's
Health Care system yesterday and Sheila Fraser yapped on and on on
CAPAC during her last days in office as if she were oh so ethical.. To
be fair to him I just called Greg Weston (613-288-6938) I suggested
that he should at least Google SOUCOM and David Amos It would be wise
if he check ALL of CBC's sources before he publishes something else
about the DND EH Don Newman? Lets just say that the fact  that  your
old CBC buddy, Tony Burman is now in charge of Al Jazeera English
never impressed me. The fact that he set up a Canadian office is
interesting though

"But Lang, defence minister McCallum's chief of staff, says military
brass were not entirely forthcoming on the issue. For instance, he
says, even McCallum initially didn't know those soldiers were helping
to plan the invasion of Iraq up to the highest levels of command,
including a Canadian general.

That general is Walt Natynczyk, now Canada's chief of defence staff,
who eight months after the invasion became deputy commander of 35,000
U.S. soldiers and other allied forces in Iraq. Lang says Natynczyk was
also part of the team of mainly senior U.S. military brass that helped
prepare for the invasion from a mobile command in Kuwait."

http://baconfat53.blogspot.com/2010/06/canada-and-united-states.html

"I remember years ago when the debate was on in Canada, about there
being weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. Our American 'friends"
demanded that Canada join into "the Coalition of the Willing. American
"veterans" and sportscasters loudly denounced Canada for NOT buying
into the US policy.

At the time I was serving as a planner at NDHQ and with 24 other of my
colleagues we went to Tampa SOUCOM HQ to be involved in the planning
in the planning stages of the op....and to report to NDHQ, that would
report to the PMO upon the merits of the proposed operation. There was
never at anytime an existing target list of verified sites where there
were deployed WMD.

Coalition assets were more than sufficient for the initial strike and
invasion phase but even at that point in the planning, we were
concerned about the number of "boots on the ground" for the occupation
(and end game) stage of an operation in Iraq. We were also concerned
about the American plans for occupation plans of Iraq because they at
that stage included no contingency for a handing over of civil
authority to a vetted Iraqi government and bureaucracy.

There was no detailed plan for Iraq being "liberated" and returned to
its people...nor a thought to an eventual exit plan. This was contrary
to the lessons of Vietnam but also to current military thought, that
folks like Colin Powell and "Stuffy" Leighton and others elucidated
upon. "What's the mission" how long is the mission, what conditions
are to met before US troop can redeploy?  Prime Minister Jean Chretien
and the PMO were even at the very preliminary planning stages wary of
Canadian involvement in an Iraq operation....History would prove them
correct. The political pressure being applied on the PMO from the
George W Bush administration was onerous

American military assets were extremely overstretched, and Canadian
military assets even more so It was proposed by the PMO that Canadian
naval platforms would deploy to assist in naval quarantine operations
in the Gulf and that Canadian army assets would deploy in Afghanistan
thus permitting US army assets to redeploy for an Iraqi
operation....The PMO thought that "compromise would save Canadian
lives and liberal political capital.. and the priority of which
....not necessarily in that order. "

You can bet that I called these sneaky Yankees again today EH John
Adams? of the CSE within the DND?
