Patrick Brown's PC leadership bid could lead to 'political fratricide,' experts say

Opponents will have to change strategies to battle former leader, political observers say

 Patrick Brown's entry into the Ontario Progressive Conservative leadership race could lead to ruthless infighting, leaving the party at a disadvantage, experts say.

"This is a time when the party should be taking all its resources and throwing them at Kathleen Wynne," Jim Warren, a political strategist who has worked with the Ontario Liberals, said this week.

"Instead, they've got the guns pointed at each other and are about to have a 'shootout at the OK Corral.' You will see this real insider fighting — political fratricide, if you will — of the leaders turning on each other." 



Brown entered the race on Friday, just weeks after he resigned in the wake of allegations of sexual misconduct made by two women and first reported by CTV.

The other four leadership candidates, preparing for opponents with roughly similar political advantages, will now have to revise their game plan to focus on Brown. The former leader already has a base of support and extensive political experience.

"He's been the leader for the last two years. He has sold a lot of the memberships to the members now. Are they PC members or Patrick Brown members?" Warren said.

Either way, Brown's entry into the leadership race is a gift to the Ontario Liberals, according to Jaime Watt, executive chair of the public relations company Navigator and a long-time Conservative strategist.

"I think it harms all the candidates at an important time in Ontario's history," Watt said.
"If I were (Kathleen Wynne) I'd be running to the convenience store to buy a lottery ticket."



Brown registered as a candidate just before the 5 p.m deadline on Friday. He had previously launched an online campaign to discredit the allegations that led to his resignation  Speaking to reporters outside PC headquarters, Brown said that he believed his name was cleared.

His entry into the race came hours after interim leader Vic Fedeli announced that Brown was kicked out of caucus, prompting questions about his eligibility to run. Party executives will review his candidacy bid and make a decision in coming days.


Nelson Wiseman, a political science professor at the University of Toronto, said the outcome of the executive review is uncertain at best.

"Although he's still a member of the party, the party could suggest he's not in good standing, which is one of the conditions you have to have to run," he told CBC Toronto.

But several PC candidates, at least one MPP and many party members have publicly expressed support for Brown, a sign that a grassroots movement could be mobilizing to bolster his bid.



"There is an awful lot of members I see on social media who think there was an injustice done to him — that he wasn't treated fairly by the party establishment and by the caucus members. So the grassroots members may very well turn on the party elites and try and send in Patrick Brown," he said.

The party membership will vote electronically for its next leader between March 2 and March 8, with results to be announced on March 10.

Urge Ontario’s Party Leaders To Embrace a ‘Real Solution’ to Rising
Electricity Costs

A Call-Out from the Ontario Clean Air Alliance, a citizens advocacy
group in the province

Posted February 13th, 2018 on Niagara At Large

We are now just a few months away from a provincial election and we
know that rising electricity costs are sure to be a big issue on the
campaign trail. So why have none of the parties at Queen’s Park
embraced the real solution to lowering bills – buying power from
Quebec?

Quebec just signed a deal with Massachusetts to supply power at 3 to
5.5 cents per kWh. That’s less than one-third of the projected cost of
power from rebuilt reactors at the Darlington Nuclear Station. Yet our
leaders seem more interested in accounting tricks and finger pointing
than in grabbing Quebec’s sensational offer to make a similar deal
with Ontario.

Right now, all our leaders (and leadership candidates) seem to be
stumbling around in the dark on the electricity issue (with the
exception of the Green Party, which has called for a deal with
Quebec). To make a real difference for voters, they need to quickly
flip the switch from dangerous high cost nuclear to clean affordable
power from Quebec. Voters have had enough of non-solutions and the
blame game. Now it is time for real answers.

Please tell the leaders and leadership candidates that you want
answers, not empty promises.

    PC Leadership candidate Christine Elliott: christine@christine2018.ca
    PC Leadership candidate Doug Ford: info@fordforleader.ca
    PC Leadership candidate Caroline Mulroney: christine@christine2018.ca

Thank you, Angela Bischoff, Director

P.S. We have sent the PC leadership candidates the following question:
“Should the Government of Ontario seek to negotiate a long-term
electricity supply contract with Hydro Quebec to lower our electricity
rates?” We’ll let you know what they have to say. Stay tuned.

Subject: I am curious

Madam

I did not receive a response from you to the last email so I am
not certain if you received it. I must inform you that I will be
closing my briefcase in Yahoo for public view at the end of the week.
I have a great deal of material to add and I only wish certain parties
to view it. I opened it for you the other day as an act of good faith.
Mr. Pozen can check my work in the dockets of the various courts
around Boston they are a matter of Public Record my files are not. As
you can see by this and some following emails. I am very busy dealing
with criminal matters first before filing civil complaints in the USA.
As I told you when you called a lot has been happening. I have made a
lot of cops mad at me and I don't trust them a bit particularly after
the Police Commission is willing to check their work so i have been
busy watching my back and covering my butt. However that does not mean
that I have not thought about our conversation and was
curious about a few things.

I was glad to receive your call and impressed by the fact that
you were more than willing to receive the material and a copy of the
wiretap tape in particular. Your stated willingness to uphold the law
was a rare statement to me. However I was curious why you only
mentioned my voicemail to Mr. Pozen and not the email to your company
and the news program that it owns. Did they not inform you as well? If
they didn't I am not surprised because I have some other rather
interesting denials from the Media. the most interesting would have to
be from the PBS program called Frontline when I introduced its
producer Michael Sullivan to the US Attorney Michael J. Sullivan. Now
that is a story well worth W5 telling. Too bad they showed me their
ass. As a courtesy to you and a further act of good faith, I will not
forward this email to anyone else until after I return to the USA and
nothing has been resolved between BCE and I and I am compelled to
name it in my complaint. I would find it very hard to believe that
Mr, Pozen does not know everything he needs to know about me right
now.

I had also called a lawyer, Steven Skurka who had a week long
little special on CTV . I had tried to inform him that I knew my
rights his assistant hollered at me. You from speaking to me yourself
that I am not a rude character. I found it too funny to be treated
that way and I had resolved to serve him this stuff byway of the local
ATV Station that had presented his smiling talking head to me. That is
why I was telling you that you could get this stuff from the local ATV
station. I found it quite strange that you did not rely on them to
send it on to you. Thus I must make an extra copy to comply with your
request.

I know the date stamp on the forwarded email is incorrect but
that is because my old laptop goes to the first year in it when I boot
up and sometimes I am too busy or tired to bother changing it. However
MSN tracks it with the true date. Brad Smith and I have a bone to pick
as well and I have been checking his work rather closely since he
ignored my letter to him last year. His boss Bill Gates is gonna be
very angry and Brad Smith and Steve Balmer in the near future if I
have anything to do with it. If you do act ethically and immediately I
will settle with your company very cheaply in comparsion to the bottom
lines of my first two complaints. In fact I will be so impressed I
will immediatlely offer you a better job than the one you have now.
Please study the material I will provide you closely and ask me any
thing you wish.

I will do as I promised and send the material you requested as
soon as I can put it all together. Right now I am on the move and far
away from my printer. Is the following your correct address? Perhaps
you should consider sending someone to the my meeting with the Police
Commission in Fredericton next week in order to hear me speak of these
matters to law enforcement before I return to the USA. Once I do
return there I will serve the Mr. Pozen the material as promised and
call him to testify in my pending trial. The following emails should
explain some of my concerns to you. My wife will be in Canada next
week as well to pick up our kids. I will allow you to speak to her if
you wish. She has had a nervous breakdown over the legal crap and I do
have her Durable Power of Attorney pursuant to M.G.L. 201 B. Mr. Pozen
can ask Robert S. Creedon Jr. about that document. I argued it with
him before the entire Judicuary Commitee on Sept. 18th
2003.

I will call you in a minute to make certain that you get this and
the following emails.

Re: Robert C. Pozen and the rest of the fellas
Martine

I will send the material as you requested and I will send some
forwards of emails sent to others about these matters. The files
contained here are older. Much has happened since I came home and ran
for Parliament. I will return to the USA to begin litigation as soon
as the Canadian authorities assure me that I will not be harassed by
the DHS in the USA.

I have unlocked the files for you. This wicked stuff. Trust me I
am not smart enough to make this up and just dumb enough not to quit
defending our rights and interests. Feel free to ask me anything you
wish in order to stress test my ethics to the max.

I will settle with your company very cheaply if you simply tell
the truth to the Arar Commission and the Media interests that your
company controls do the same for the public benefit. The same holds
true for Mr. Pozen in America. All he has to do is go to Norfolk
Superior Court and start reading what is left of the dockets and then
act ethically immediately. Tell him to say hey to Francis Galvin,
Charles J. Kickham Jr. and J. Owen Todd for me.

I think is time to let a little something out of the bag for the
benefit of a few Maritimers who think they know something about the
Media.I did notify CBC, the Rogers crowd and Harry Steele's folks that
I knew a little bit about the Media and that I had written a book
about it. Problem is I need an editor and I believe I may have found
one.He comes in the form of a disenchanted newspaper man. But the
thing is I want to put it on the web for all to read for free so there
is no money in it for him. So I guess I wiil sue some big company with
a Prima Facia complaint and settle for a lesser amount out of court.

Lets just say I am looking hard at you dudes. I had zeroed in on the
Yankee media long ago and I am certain folks within the Ottawa Citizen
and Democracy Watch had checked my work(Hey Duff say hey to Dan for
me) I have crossed paths with many of Globemedia's people many times
for many reasons and I can easily prove it. What I haven't bothered
to tell them that I knew the reason Gobal etc never mentioned me was
Frank McKenna and the Irving influence because basically that was a no
brainer anyway.

However If Globemedia and all their cohorts didn't think I knew about
the influence Robert Pozen in Boston, you had best think again. then
give Mr. Spitzer, Mr. Galvin, Mr. Shelby and Mr. Donaldson a call and
drop my name along with Mr. Nesters and Mr. Koski's and tell them my
stuff is off to the Arar Commission I am heading back to the USA to
call Mr. Pozen and many folks he calls friends to court.

Perhaps in Ottawa Bill Rowe will truly speak for the common man after
all if the worm turns on his buddies. How do you people sleep at
night? What say you? Why not get honest with the world and I will
settle cheap? I will give one of your lawyers something real soon

MFS set to agree to second settlement
By SINCLAIR STEWART
00:00 EST Wednesday, March 31, 2004

Sun Life Financial Inc.'s Boston-based mutual fund arm will agree to a
$50-million (U.S.) settlement today with U.S. regulators over
allegations the firm directed trading commissions to brokerages in
exchange for preferential treatment, according to people familiar with
the matter.
Sources said Massachusetts Financial Services Co. will announce a deal
with the Securities and Exchange Commission this morning that will
also include "compliance reforms," in addition to a token $1
disgorgement penalty.
Eric Morse, a spokesman for MFS, declined to comment. A spokesman for
the SEC refused to discuss any talks with the firm.
The embattled fund company is hoping this settlement will enable it to
move beyond the intense public and regulatory scrutiny it has endured
in the past several months.
In early February, MFS agreed to a $350-million settlement with the
SEC and New York State Attorney-General Eliot Spitzer for allegedly
permitting improper trades in some of its bigger funds. That figure
included $225-million in penalties and restitution to investors, along
with $125-million in fee reductions spread out over the next five
years.
The fallout within MFS, which manages about $140-billion in assets,
was also considerable. Its two highest-ranking officials -- chief
executive officer John Ballen and president Kevin Parke -- were each
fined and slapped with temporary suspensions by the SEC, leading to
their departures from the firm. Long-serving chairman Jeffrey Shames
also retired in the aftermath of MFS's problems, and was replaced by
Robert Pozen, formerly a senior executive at Fidelity Investments and
onetime associate general counsel at the SEC.
Mr. Pozen has been charged with cleaning up the mess, and tightening
the firm's internal controls.
He has already hired new legal and compliance officers, added
monitoring staff, and imposed a ban on so-called "soft dollar"
transactions. The firm also prohibited the practice of directing
trading fees to brokerages in exchange for being placed on a preferred
list of customers and receiving better visibility for its funds.
This latter arrangement, known in industry circles as "pay for play,"
is at the centre of MFS's pending settlement with the SEC. Sources
said the current settlement talks advanced fairly quickly because of
the voluntary compliance improvements MFS has undertaken.
In a recent interview with The Globe and Mail, Mr. Pozen attacked the
basis of the regulator's case as "very weak" and said it should have
raised this as a problem when it conducted audits of the company.
Nevertheless, he said he hoped to settle the matter quickly, in large
part to avoid a costly legal battle and prevent nervous investors from
pulling their money out of MFS funds. So far, the damage has been
contained to one major client, the Illinois Teachers Retirement
System, which fired MFS last month as lead manager on a $664-million
portfolio.
The SEC is investigating about a dozen other fund companies for
directed brokerage, although sources say MFS will settle individually,
rather than as part of a group.
Last fall, brokerage powerhouse Morgan Stanley agreed to pay
$50-million to settle charges it failed to tell investors it was
promoting funds with which the firm had a special arrangement. Morgan
Stanley had a "Partners Program" of 14 funds, including MFS, that paid
"substantial" fees in return for the brokerage steering their funds to
investors, the SEC claimed.
The regulator indicated a few months ago it would begin investigating
a number of fund companies for directing commissions, but did not say
which firms it would target.
Sun Life revealed in a filing that MFS was under investigation for
this practice just a couple of weeks after its first settlement with
the SEC and Mr. Spitzer. The news came as a surprise to most
observers, some of whom criticized the insurer's CEO, Donald Stewart,
for not disclosing this probe earlier.
MFS is hoping to recoup some of the $175-million it must repay
investors under the terms of the first settlement by suing firms and
individuals that engaged in market timing and late trading of its
funds. Market timing involves making frequent trades in and out of
funds in order to cash in on minor pricing discrepancies. It is not
illegal, but is usually prohibited by many fund companies, since the
quick trading can raise administrative costs and undermine returns to
investors.

I am a Canadian Citizen who thus far, as a plaintiff, has two Lawsuits
in the US District Court of Massachucetts they are numbered 02-11686-
RGS and 02-11687-RGS. They were removed to that Court from the Norfolk
Superior Court by the US Attorney Michael J. Sullivan very improperly.
However they shall remain there because of my status as a Canandian
Citizen. Judge Sterns has not even held a Conference about the matters
because he likely does not want to hear the matter because I have
presented all Members of the Bar with their worst fear of a catch 22
problem. Accordinging to law he is late. I have complained of 47
defendants 34 of whom are State Defendants( the Attorney General, The
Commission of Judicial Conduct Board of Bar Overseers etc) and 3 are
Federal Treasury Agents. Some of the defendants are over two months
late in their answer to the Summons. The smallest suit amounts to 188
million dollars in the form of relief. There is a lot to these
matters and too much to briefly explain. But in a nutshell my wife's
Aunt, who is buried beside Rose Kennedy, left my wife some money. It
was stolen by her relatives in executing the estate. No news there.
But the crooks are very well connected politically and every part of
the old crony network in Boston covered for them. The crook and our

Canadian Media Deregulation Provides Insight Into FCC Proposal

Critics of consolidation say the integrity of the news is being
undermined by the effects of concentrated ownership

Editor's Note: This story has been updated to correct inaccuracies.
Please see the corrected version here.
The original version of this story (see below) posted on May 29, 2003
incorrectly stated that Canada's two national newspapers, The Globe
and Mail and the National Post, recently laid off their online
editorial staffs. According to globeandmail.com editor Angus Frame,
there have been no recent editorial layoffs at globeandmail.com; the
site's 18-person staff continues to write and edit stories that are
published exclusively online. The National Post did not have dedicated
online editorial staff, and did not have online editorial layoffs.
The story also failed to acknowledge that the country's largest
newspaper, the Toronto Star, also has a significant online operation.
The Federal Communications Commission is poised to unveil new media
ownership rules June 2 that some experts believe may change the face
of American journalism.
The new rules would allow media companies to own television stations
and newspapers in the same cities.
The FCC barred companies from owning newspapers and TV stations in the
same market in 1975, but big media owners like the Tribune Co., Knight
Ridder, MediaNews Group and the New York Times say it's time to lift
that ban.
They argue that cross-ownership makes for better journalism: Staffers
working for companies that own newspapers and TV stations in the same
market can work together to create richer, multimedia news reports
that can then run in the company's paper and on their stations and Web
sites.
Advocates say the synergies of convergence lead to cost savings,
increased advertising revenues and greater efficiencies.
Cross-ownership already exists in some markets: The FCC granted about
40 exemptions to the cross-ownership rule in cases where a company
already had television or radio stations and a newspaper in a single
city. The FCC also granted exemptions in larger markets after media
mergers produced cross-ownership situations.
'The concentration of ownership in a lot of major Canadian cities is
of interest for a lot reasons, but mainly because it provides too much
news coming through one pipeline.'
--Russ Mills, former publisher of the Ottawa Citizen
The Tribune Co., for example, owns television stations and newspapers
in Los Angeles, Chicago, New York and Miami.
How further media consolidation and convergence would play out if the
FCC does lift the ban on cross-ownership has been the subject of hot
debate in the weeks leading up to the commission's June 2 vote.
Experts familiar with the rapid consolidation of media in Canada say
the U.S. should look northward for some lessons on what loosening
cross-ownership restrictions could mean to journalism in the U.S.
In Canada, the deregulation of cross-media ownership occurred
gradually over the last 20 years. Within the past eight years, it has
led to massive consolidation of media companies.
Most of Canada's news media -- including newspapers and broadcast
stations in all of its major cities -- are in the hands of two media
giants: CanWest Global Communications Inc., and Bell Globemedia -- a
division of the country's largest telephone company, Bell Canada.
The rapid media consolidation in Canada has inspired an
often-acrimonious debate over whether Canadian journalists are able to
report objectively on social and political issues and whether the
country's corporate media has allowed business interests to undermine
the role of journalism in a modern democracy.
"Based on the experience in Canada, dropping restrictions on
cross-ownership certainly hasn't worked out well," said Russ Mills,
former publisher of the Ottawa Citizen in Canada's capital city, who
was fired by CanWest in a fight over editorial independence.
"The concentration of ownership in a lot of major Canadian cities is
of interest for a lot of reasons, but mainly because it provides too
much news coming through one pipeline," he said. "When companies use
ownership to control the news, and they do have the ability to do so,
it hurts everyone."
Though the two media conglomerates said cross-media consolidation
would improve online journalism, many media observers say online
journalism at local papers has gone downhill in the wake of
consolidation.
The country's two national newspapers, the National Post, half-owned
by CanWest, and The Globe and Mail, owned by Bell Canada's media wing,
Globemedia, have laid off the online reporters and editors at the two
papers that once produced copy separate from print editions.
The two papers, former online staffers said, were the only ones in
Canada that were doing something other than simply repurposing content
from newspaper pages into newspaper Web sites.
Executives at Bell Globemedia and CanWest have defended the cutbacks,
saying they were a result of cost-cutting efforts and consolidations
undertaken after spending billions of dollars to acquire newspaper and
broadcasting properties.

Consolidation accelerated in 1990s
Canada's restrictions on cross-media ownership were carved largely
from regulatory decisions on broadcasting licenses made since the
1950s by the Canadian Radio-Television Commission -- Canada's version
of the FCC.
By the mid-1980s, Canadian media experts say, exceptions to
cross-media ownership rules had eroded the cross-ownership ban to the
point that it was unenforcable and largely ignored.
By the mid-1990s, consolidation of Canadian media companies had
accelerated on the strength of dot.com economics. And in 2000,
CanWest, the second largest broadcaster in the country, announced a
$3.5-billion deal to purchase a majority of the nation's newspapers --
including papers in the nation's 12 largest cities.
Within weeks, Jean Monty, Bell Canada's CEO at the time, announced
that Canada's largest phone company had set its sights on owning both
content and the multimedia pipelines into consumers' homes.
The decision prompted Bell Globemedia to purchase the Globe and Mail
and the nation's largest TV network, CTV, in 2001.
Despite the rising consolidation of media outlets, the massive
purchases of newspapers by CanWest Global and Bell Globemedia took
many Canadian journalists and media-watchers by surprise.
CanWest and Bell executives convinced Canada's CRTC that convergence
was necessary to attract advertising revenue and reduce costs if
newspapers in many Canadian communities were to survive. And they
promised that resources from new revenues would be devoted to
improving the quality and reach of journalism through the Internet.
When questions about convergence arose during CRTC hearings on both
companies' broadcast licenses shortly after their newspaper purchases,
they promised regulators that they would separate management of
news-gathering operations by their television stations and newspapers.
Officials from the Canada National Newspaper Guild complained that
keeping management separate would not prevent companies from forcing
journalists to perform work for both newspapers and television, to the
detriment of journalistic independence.
Critics -- including journalism professors, journalists, newspaper and
broadcast union officials, and some government officials -- have
argued that the quality of journalism has gone down, not up, as a
result of convergence.
Joyce Smith, an assistant professor at Canada's Ryerson University,
teaches online journalism and worked on the online staff at the Globe
and Mail before those employees were laid off last year.
She said the one opportunity to see convergence succeed might have
been missed by Bell Globemedia in its efforts to cut costs to recoup
some of what it spent on media acquisitions.
"What I found interesting was that the actual idea of convergence
wasn't a hit with people working with just the newspaper or just
television," Smith said. "Where it really happened was with the online
news team. There were things the TV folks could clearly do much better
with the online newspaper. By pooling resources, it all did work much
better.
"But in the tradition of journalism," she said, "reporters were
asking, 'What does this mean for me? Does it mean that I have to file
stories to the Web and then do stand-ups in newsroom, while doing my
piece for the deadline at the end of the day?'
"Basically, (owners) wanted reporters to be one-man bands," Smith
said. "That has been played and replayed here. It made sense from a
business model, but journalists, especially those who have been around
for a while, went into newspapers and TV for a reason. Some are great
at doing both, but not everyone has the same aptitude. And no one has
the time in the day to do it all. Some of the expectations were
outrageous."
Canada reexamining changes
While U.S. media critics and media executives have been testifying
over the past few weeks in Senate hearings on the proposed changes in
the FCC's media ownership rules, Canada is busy reexamining what has
come of its own cross-media consolidations.
Two inquiries are underway by Canadian government officials to explore
the impact of cross-media ownership and consolidation on journalistic
integrity and media responsibility.
The Canadian Senate's Committee on Transport and Communication began
taking testimony at the end of April on those issues and is expected
to report its findings within the next year.
A House of Commons committee on Canadian heritage is expected to
release an 800-page report next month on its own yearlong
investigation into the impact of media concentration and political
efforts by corporations to ease restrictions on foreign ownership of
Canadian media.
But media-watchers, who have a ringside seat on Canada's great media
debate, say they are doubtful that government investigations will
produce any new regulation on media conglomerates.
"The horse is out of the barn," said Arnold Amber, director of the
National Newspaper Guild of Canada. "But the good news is that this
has at least inspired a vigorous national debate on press freedom and
responsibility."
Amber and other critics of media convergence said promises of more
stories and better information from combining print and broadcast news
staffs have largely failed in Canada.
"Bell Globemedia is talking about restructuring and selling off its
media wing," Amber said. "The failure of convergence to bring in
revenues was primarily responsible for the resignation of Bell
Canada's CEO, Jean Monty," who stepped down in April 2002.
Geoffrey Elliot, vice-president of corporate affairs for CanWest, said
that convergence has not led to revenues, or the reduced costs, the
company had hoped for.
But Elliot, and other supporters of cross-media ownership, argues that
all sides have benefited from consolidation.
"We are a family-owned business that saw an opportunity in which the
whole was greater than the sum of the parts," Elliot said. "We saw
substantial potential synergies on the sales side by putting
television and newspaper assets together, since they both serve
primarily advertising clients as sources of revenue, and serve a
combination of local and national markets."
Amber said the companies likely saw their primary financial advantages
from a convergence of back-office technologies -- combining
circulation, sales, printing and management operations.
But it was something else that brought issues to a head in Canada over
media consolidation and sharing newsroom resources: The loss of
diversity of voices within the Canadian media took on new importance,
observers say, after a series of events that led to accusations of
censorship and political bias by CanWest's owners.
In December 2001, CanWest -- which owns 11 major dailies and 22
smaller papers in Canada -- issued a directive to its newspaper
editors that they would be expected to run three editorials per week
that reflected the position of CanWest's owners on political or social
issues.
The decision was met with a spate of criticism -- especially when
editors were told that other local editorials were not to contradict
those from corporate headquarters.
A byline strike ensued at the Montreal Gazette, and inquiries by the
newspaper guild there led to findings that work by columnists and
cartoonists was spiked when it conflicted with opinions from corporate
headquarters.
Several journalists quit; some staffers published a protest Web site.
The furor finally boiled over into the public arena last June when
Russ Mills, the publisher of the Ottawa Citizen, was fired by CanWest
for running a series of stories and an editorial that outlined alleged
political and financial irregularities in the administration of
Canadian Prime Minister Jean Chretien.
Elliot, the CanWest vice president, said the controversy arose because
Mills failed to let CanWest's owners know in advance of the series or
the editorial -- which called on Chretien, a friend of CanWest
patriarch Israel Asper, to resign.
Mills said he had not sought permission for either the investigative
series, or the editorial, because he believed in preserving "editorial
independence."
The problem, Mills said, was that the new owners were trying to
dictate local editorial policy from corporate headquarters.
Elliot described the concern over attempts at a national editorial
policy -- which has since been largely abandoned –- as a tempest
without substance.
He said CanWest's owners were "well within their rights to propose
national editorials," and that their actions were no different that
those of other newspaper ownership groups prior to media
consolidation.
"There has never been any effort to control what was published in news
stories," he said.
Since his firing, Mills has become an outspoken critic of media
consolidation in Canada, and he testified in April before the Canadian
Senate committee conducting media hearings. He was also awarded a
Neiman Fellowship at Harvard University and is the incoming dean of
the journalism program at Algonquin College in Ottawa.
Meanwhile, Mills' firing prompted a public opinion poll by Canada's
largest media union that found that the incident had caused the public
to lose confidence in the media's editorial independence.
The results, union officials said, showed that Canadians were
concerned about press freedom and wanted the government to look into
problems associated with media concentration.
Peter Murdock, then vice-president of the communications union, told
Canada Newswire that the poll "demonstrates that Canadians want their
journalists protected from the whims and prejudice of media barons. It
is a grim warning to media corporations and government that Canadians
believe that the very integrity of the news that feeds our democracy
is being undermined by the effects of concentrated media ownership."
It is clear that online journalism at Canada's newspapers has changed
dramatically under CanWest's corporate control.
The company replaced independent newspaper Web sites with a common
site, Canada.com, which allows consumers to access local news by
clicking on the community they are interested in.
Elliot said community news on the Web site comes from local newspapers
and television stations, and said that consolidating that information
on a single Web site provides consumers better access to local news
across the country -- as well as reduces costs.
Bruce MacCormack, former head of interactive media at CanWest, said
supplementing newspaper and television content with a common Web site
has made access to news more efficient and allowed the corporation to
serve consumers better.
"The consumers of online media … were also television viewers and
newspaper readers, and at different points in the day, different media
were the best way to reach those people," MacCormack said.
"Someone watching television in the evening could be told about
stories being developed for the next day's newspaper, which is read on
the commuter train as people go to work," he said. "Then, during
working hours, the Internet was the most effective way to get them up
to date on news, and tease them for television use at night."
"These were handoff mechanisms that worked to reach people, so
consumers and the public were able to access services in the most
appropriate media, for whatever method they could best be served."
CanWest recently filed testimony with the FCC to support the
relaxation of cross-media regulations in the U.S. That testimony
challenges media critics on their central objections to cross-media
ownership.
"Today's media market is the richest and most diverse in the history
of modern media," the document says. "Cross-ownership has strengthened
media companies and encouraged greater diversity and more sources of
information.
"Experience," it adds, "simply does not support the contention of some
opponents of cross-media ownership, that consumers would have access
to fewer point of view, or would see only repackaged versions of the
same content across multimedia platforms."
Smith, the Ryerson professor -- despite her criticisms of the handling
of online media opportunities in Canada -- said she sees differences
between media ownership consolidation in Canada and in the United
States.
"In the U.S., because of the size of the market, the chance of one or
two owners gobbling up everything, I think, would be less than in
Canada," she said. "But there is some caution in that.
"If you are thinking about journalists, there are wonderful things
about operating in a converged environment. It was really exciting
thinking we could potentially have video, and it may be good for news
consumers in the sense that (online video) will be a faster way of
converging types of media.
"But you get a lot of the same stuff. There is no alternative. You are
going to lose some (editorial) voices in the process."

'You lied. You defamed me': Patrick Brown blasts CTV News after sexual misconduct accuser changes timeline

One of Brown's accusers now says she was wasn't underage at time of alleged sexual misconduct


In a statement on Facebook, former leader of Ontario's Progressive Conservatives Patrick Brown blasted CTV News for reporting what he says was a 'phoney, made-up narrative' after the broadcaster changed the timeline of the alleged events. (Aaron Vincent Elkaim/Canadian Press)

Patrick Brown is blasting CTV News saying, "You lied. You defamed me," in a Facebook post on Wednesday after the broadcaster reported one of the women who accused him of sexual misconduct wasn't under the legal drinking age at the time or in high school at the time of the alleged incident.

Brown stepped down as leader of Ontario's Progressive Conservatives on Jan. 25, a day after he was accused of sexual misconduct by two women with the allegations dating back to when he was a federal MP. CTV News first reported the accusations in a report that did not name the two women who alleged the incidents occurred in his home in Barrie, Ont.

Since then, Brown has vowed to disprove the allegations.



CTV News published a story late Tuesday that changed the timeline of the alleged events. One of his accusers now says she was of legal drinking age and not in high school when Brown allegedly asked her to perform oral sex.

"CTV News fabricated a malicious and false report about me from two anonymous accusers," Brown wrote. "The significance of this changed story is monumental."

CTV News fabricated a malicious and false report about me from two anonymous accusers. After a long three weeks, CTV News has now admitted that it got it wrong.

Initially, the reporter (and I use that term very loosely) claimed my first accuser was a high school student under legal drinking age. Running scared over its lousy reporting, CTV News now says my accuser was out of high school at the time and was of legal drinking age. Clearly concerned about the backlash it has been receiving as a result of its biased and false reporting, CTV News is trying to change its story and claims the incident happened one year later. The significance of this changed story is monumental.

Not even having the decency to come clean and admit that they recklessly published a poorly researched report, CTV is burying this new fact, hiding it in the middle of an online story. In fact, CTV is doubling down on its terrible reporting, digging a deeper hole for itself, by featuring more of my accuser’s lies.

I can also tell you that CTV News did not disclose last night that their reporter, Glen McGregor, called an acquaintance of mine yesterday to ask him if he had driven my first accuser to my home - a claim that was made by her. He categorically told CTV that this was completely untrue.

I thought surely, CTV News would report on my acquaintance‘s evidence. I was wrong. CTV chose not to report the truth because the facts contradict their phony, made up narrative.

Here is my message to CTV News. You lied. You defamed me. I will not allow your brand of trashy journalism to hurt another person in this country.

And here is my message to my accusers – both of them. If you truly stand by your allegations, then I urge you to contact Barrie Police and have them lay charges, Barrie Police can be reached at 705-725-7025. These types of allegations should be dealt with in a proper and fair forum.
I will be telling my story tonight on Global News. Please watch.

Finally, and most humbly and sincerely, thank you to the dozens of candidates and caucus members, thousands of Ontario PC Party members and tens of thousands of Ontarians who have supported me and my family through this very difficult time.

This is not over.


CBC News has not independently verified the complainant's new versions of the alleged incident. 

The unnamed woman, however, told CBC News in a statement through her lawyer, David Butt, on Wednesday: "I stand firmly by the truth of what I said about Patrick Brown's conduct involving me."
She said "collateral details," such as the timeline difference of a year from what she first recalled, "are not important."


The woman said she has experienced a barrage of comments on social media that were "demeaning, victim-blaming and woman-hating." As a result, the complainant said she will not be engaging in any more public discussion of the incident.

She did explain, however, the reason she came forward with the accusations against Brown is because she "wanted to help other women feel safe in coming forward themselves."

"The comments that I have been subjected to ignore altogether the abuse of power by an older sober man over a young intoxicated woman," the statement read.

Her lawyer echoed this in an interview with CBC News on Wednesday. Butt said while "collateral details" fade over time, the allegations of sexual misconduct remain an integral part of the core story.

"Ask anyone about an important event in their life, calendar dates are not printed on the bottom of those memories like they are on digital cameras," Butt said.

"We simply tend not to remember in terms of … dates and time. What we remember are key events in relation to more physical elements of our surroundings rather than the concept of time and date."

CTV 'stands by its reporting': spokesperson


Matthew Garrow, spokesperson for Bell Media, also responded to Brown's Facebook post on Wednesday in an email to CBC News.

"CTV News continues to stand by its reporting," Garrow said.

"Patrick Brown's allegations regarding our reporting are false. As we reported once again last night, the two women have reiterated their allegations of sexual misconduct by Patrick Brown."

Accusers challenged to press charges


Brown also included a message to his accusers in his Facebook post, challenging them to go to police in Barrie, Ont., and try to have authorities press charges.

"If you truly stand by your allegations, then I urge you to contact Barrie police and have them lay charges. Barrie police can be reached at 705-725-7025. These types of allegations should be dealt with in a proper and fair forum," he said.

Butt told CBC News his client, one of the women, has no intention of going to police and doesn't intend to press charges.

"By daring my client to go to the police, Mr. Brown destroys the credibility of his self-proclaimed support for women who have suffered sexual mistreatment," he said in a statement.

"No one with a contemporary understanding of the dynamics of sexual victimization and its aftermath would be so insensitive and patriarchal as to try to dictate to a survivor what her healing path should be, much less goad her."

By daring my client to go to the police, Mr. Brown destroys the credibility of his self-proclaimed support for women who have suffered sexual mistreatment.- David Butt, lawyer

Brown told reporters last month the allegations against him are false and were difficult to hear.

"It's never OK for anyone to feel they have been a victim of sexual harassment or feel threatened in any way," he said.

"A safe and respectful society is what we expect and deserve, and no one knows that more than I do, I've got two younger sisters who are my best friends."

Brown, who had already strongly denied the allegations, said over the weekend in his first interview since resigning from his position that he's contemplating legal action to restore his reputation.
CBC News has reached out to Brown about his Facebook post, but hasn't received a response.


Patrick Brown's resignation over allegations of sexual misconduct has left the Ontario PC party scrambling to quickly select a new leader before the provincial election in June. (CBC)
Brown's resignation as leader of the Official Opposition triggered the Ontario PC leadership contest months before the provincial election in June.

Christine Elliott, Caroline Mulroney and Doug Ford have all announced their intention to seek the party's leadership. Tory members will decided on the new face of the party on March 10.

While he is no longer head of the Ontario PCs, Brown remains the MPP for Simcoe North and is still officially a member of the PC caucus.

I have no idea whatsoever if Oland's snobby lawyers sent anyone across
the street to pull a certain docket in Federal Court in Fat Fred City.
There was no need for them to do so anyway in light of all the files I
sent them and the cops byway of emails.

Furthermore I no longer care because what concerned me with their
actions was their client's freedom. However I presumed once Oland's
bail was determined I figured the upcoming hearing in the Supreme
Court would be a waste of the court's time so the matter would be set
aside. Nay not so said Mr Gold within Chucky's video and that proved
to be true.

FREDERICTON -- Convicted murderer Dennis Oland's bid for bail at the
Supreme Court of Canada could set an important legal precedent
nationally, and several provinces are arguing such releases may not be
in the public interest.

Ontario, Alberta, and British Columbia have filed motions for leave to
intervene in Oland's appeal to the top court.

Ontario's Attorney General says Canadians expect sentences for murder
and other serious crimes to be enforced, and bail should only be
considered when there are "very strong" grounds of appeal.

"It will be Ontario's position that reasonable members of the public
expect that sentences imposed for all crimes, but particularly for
more serious offences, will be enforced when handed down," wrote
Gregory Tweney, acting director of the Attorney General's criminal law
office.

Oland, 48, was sentenced in February to life in prison with no chance
of parole for 10 years, after being found guilty of second-degree
murder in death of his multimillionaire father, who was found
bludgeoned in his Saint John, N.B., office five years ago.

Richard Oland, 69, was discovered face down in a pool of blood on July
7, 2011. He had suffered 45 sharp and blunt force injuries to his
head, neck and hands. No murder weapon was ever found.

Dennis Oland is seeking release pending the appeal of his murder
conviction, but the request has already been denied by two lower
courts.

Nicole O'Byrne, an associate law professor at the University of New
Brunswick, said Tuesday the law surrounding bail pending appeal in
murder cases "has not been clearly defined" by the top court.

"It is likely that the Supreme Court of Canada granted leave in this
case because it is an opportunity for the court to provide guidance
for the country as a whole on the law of bail pending appeal," she
said, adding current jurisprudence comes from a series of lower court
rulings.

No one in New Brunswick has ever been granted bail after being
convicted of murder, and there have only been about three dozen such
cases in Canada.

O'Byrne said Ontario, Alberta, and British Columbia hope to argue that
"it would be contrary to the public interest that a person convicted
by a judge of a serious crime such as murder should be allowed to live
in the community pending an appeal of the case."

O'Byrne said she expects the court will want to hear as many views
possible when it hears the appeal in Ottawa on Oct. 31.

In its affidavit, Ontario said the seriousness of an offence and the
length of sentence must be considered when considering bail pending
appeal.

British Columbia and Alberta also agree the seriousness of a case must
be considered.

"Where an appellant has been convicted of a serious offence (measured
by factors such as its objective gravity, the circumstances in which
it was committed, and the sentence imposed), he or she will be
required to demonstrate strong grounds of appeal to satisfy the public
confidence component," wrote lawyer Christine Rideout as an agent of
the Alberta Attorney General.

But Oland's lawyers say the provinces' positions merely mirror the New
Brunswick government's, and they should not be granted intervener
status.

"It is neither helpful to this Honourable Court nor fair to the
Appellant or the Respondent herein to be joined by a trio of
like-minded provincial counterparts to amplify its positions on this
appeal," wrote lawyers Alan Gold, Gary Miller and James McConnell.

Oland's lawyers don't oppose the application of the Criminal Lawyers'
Association of Ontario to intervene.

The bail appeal won't be heard until after the appeal of Oland's
conviction -- set for Oct. 18-21.

Support for Patrick Brown grows, but his future remains uncertain

Online petition exceeds 12,000 names, while at least 8 PC candidates speak out in his defence

The Ontario PC leadership contest is gearing up, and so is support for the man whose resignation triggered the race.

There's been an increase in public statements in defence of Patrick Brown, particularly in the wake of his first interview since resigning as leader on Jan. 25th and his weekend post on Facebook insisting he can disprove the sexual misconduct allegations against him.

The support for Brown is taking several forms:

  • More than 12,000 people have attached their names to an online petition entitled "Justice for Patrick Brown," seeking his reinstatement as party leader. 
  • Dozens of women in Simcoe County — his home territory, north of Toronto — signed an open letter criticizing the allegations as coming from "anonymous, faceless shadows." 
  • At least eight nominated PC candidates in the upcoming provincial election have gone public, on Twitter, with support for Brown. 

"Our leader, a true public servant, has been thrown aside, vilified, and destroyed by two anonymous accusations dating back years," says the open letter, made public Monday. "The Patrick Brown we grew to know and admire is one who has always advocated for equality and women's rights."

The letter was kick-started by Sandy McConkey, a councillor in Springwater Township, which is part of Brown's riding north of Barrie.

"We're livid by what has happened to Patrick Brown, said McConkey in a phone interview Monday with CBC News. "I just feel everyone deserves justice and due process when allegations are made against them.


PC interim leader Vic Fedeli has asked Brown to take a leave of absence from the party's caucus, but Brown has not done so. That means Brown could take his seat when the provincial legislature resumes on Feb. 20. (Frank Gunn/Canadian Press)
While most nominated candidates and the party's elected MPPs are declining to make public statements in support of Brown, a handful have used social media to come to his defence.

"He was executed without a trial for sure," wrote Brampton candidate Amarjot Sandhu on Twitter.


"I stand with Patrick Brown!" declared Thenusha Parani, whose nomination as the PC candidate in Scarborough Centre was overturned by party officials on Friday.

"I always believed Patrick," tweeted Mohammad Latif, the PC candidate for Windsor–Tecumseh.
While he is no longer party leader, Brown remains the MPP for Simcoe North, and is still officially a member of the PC caucus. The provincial legislature resumes sitting on Feb. 20, and there's nothing stopping Brown from taking his seat.

CBC News has made repeated requests to speak with Brown but has received no response.

Brown is also officially still the party's candidate in the riding of Barrie–Oro Medonte–Springwater. Party officials have not indicated any plan to unseat him, while they have overturned the nominations of two PC candidates, in Scarborough Centre and Ottawa West–Nepean.


Over the weekend, leadership candidate Christine Elliott opened the door to allowing Brown to be on the ballot under the PC banner for the June 7 provincial election, should she become the party leader.
"If he is able to clear his name by the time the election comes forward then I would have no problem with him running as a candidate," Elliott told a gathering of conservatives in Ottawa.

The other leadership candidates, Caroline Mulroney and Doug Ford have not given clear indications about whether they would overturn Brown's candidacy.

The three contenders will square off Thursday in a televised debate. Friday is the deadline for people to sign up as PC members to become eligible to vote for the new leader. The party will announce the winner on March 10.

Mulroney, Ford follow well-worn path of outsiders and insurgents in leadership bids

The unlikely Ontario PC leadership bids of Caroline Mulroney and Doug Ford have historical precedents


Ontario PC leadership candidates Doug Ford and Caroline Mulroney. (Canadian Press)S
o who will it be? The establishment choice, the fresh outsider or the maverick insurgent?

That's the decision members of the Ontario Progressive Conservative Party face on March 10 — a choice between three very different registered candidates for the party's leadership.

Christine Elliott is the experienced establishment candidate. Before stepping out of politics in 2015 following her failed leadership bid in 2015, Elliott had been an MPP for almost a decade. This leadership campaign is her third.

Caroline Mulroney is the outsider. Though her family has a long history in Canadian conservatism — her father was prime minister from 1984 to 1993 — she is new to active involvement in the PC Party. This leadership campaign will be her first electoral test.

Doug Ford is the insurgent. Railing against the "elites" in both the premier's office and the PC party leadership, Ford is hoping to tap into populist anger within the party membership and recruit supporters of the so-called "Ford Nation."



Elliott's road to the party leadership is the one most candidates take. But both Mulroney and Ford are also treading paths well-worn by outsider and insurgent candidacies in the past — some of them successful, others less so.

Outsiders aplenty, but having a name helps


It is common for leadership races to feature a few contestants who emerge out of political obscurity and fail to make any headway. It's less common for one of those contestants to have the name recognition of a Mulroney.

But even recognizable outsiders can have a tough time once they step into the ring.

Kevin O'Leary famously quit the Conservative leadership race after becoming its front-runner. A victory for O'Leary was still plausible when he withdrew, but the businessman and TV personality — who had no prior experience with the Conservative party — apparently found politics to be more challenging than he expected when he was watching it from the outside.

Belinda Stronach stuck it out to the end of the 2004 federal Conservative leadership campaign, losing to Stephen Harper.

And Michael Ignatieff — who, according to his memoirs, went from not seriously considering a political run to mounting a bid for the federal Liberal party leadership in a mere 18 months — was unable to win on his first attempt, was acclaimed to the leadership on his second try and in 2011 led the Liberals to their worst electoral result in party history.

Being an outsider, however, isn't always an obstacle. Wade MacLauchlan was an apolitical president of the University of Prince Edward Island when he was drafted to become premier in 2015.

In New Brunswick, Bernard Lord and Brian Gallant each had only a failed run for a provincial seat under their belts when they took over the PC and Liberal parties, respectively, and in short order became premiers.

Mulroney's biggest advantage may be that she combines the qualities of both an insider and an outsider.

 While a relative newcomer to the Ontario PCs, her family history gives her credibility within the conservative movement. In a short leadership campaign, getting people to pay attention and take you seriously is half the battle.

Insurgencies can take time

Getting attention is not a problem for Ford — as is often the case for insurgent candidates who run against a party's establishment and political orthodoxy.

As with outsiders, it's not uncommon for insurgent leadership candidates to find that the hurdles put up by the party are too difficult to overcome. Pat Stogran's short-lived NDP leadership campaign in 2017, during which the former veterans ombudsman criticized what he called "politics incorporated," is one recent example.

Other insurgents simply fail to sell their message. After campaigning against "elites" and in favour of screening immigrants for their embrace of "Canadian values," Kellie Leitch finished sixth in the 2017 Conservative leadership race. David Orchard failed twice to engineer a takeover of the federal PCs in 1998 and 2003 — campaigns which saw him stand opposed to some of the party's signature policies.

Candidates from the socialist wing of the NDP have failed repeatedly to dislodge more moderate candidates in federal party leadership campaigns.

But insurgents do not need to attain power in order to have a profound influence on a party.

At the helm of the populist Reform Party of Canada, Preston Manning was able to help engineer the collapse of the federal PCs in 1993. Though he was out of politics by the time Reform's successor, the Canadian Alliance, merged with the PCs in 2003, he had a significant impact on what the modern Conservative party has become.

In the United States, Barry Goldwater's brand of conservatism transformed the Republican Party and laid the groundwork for the election of Ronald Reagan in 1980. But it took Goldwater's landslide loss to Lyndon Johnson in 1964 for that transformation to happen.

On the other hand, there's the successful example of U.S. President Donald Trump, an insurgent (and outsider) who defeated a series of Republican establishment candidates in the 2016 primaries and then won the presidency. His impact on the future of the Republican Party has yet to be determined.

Ford's leadership campaign comes at a time when the Ontario PC membership is in open revolt — between those who wanted a leadership race and those who didn't; between those who owe their jobs to former leader Patrick Brown and those who don't; and between the members who supported winning and losing candidates in contested nomination battles across the province.
Ford might find himself at home in such an environment.

Letting the people, not the party, decide


Outsider and insurgent candidacies might be more viable today than ever before. Over the last 20 years, parties have increasingly moved away from delegated conventions. This has given candidates the opportunity to mount leadership bids that don't require the acquiescence of the party establishment. If they can sign up enough members, they can take over a party.

That's how Jagmeet Singh, an Ontario MPP little known at the national level and with shallow networks within the federal NDP, orchestrated his victory last year.

It's also how Brown, a low-profile backbench federal MP with thin support from the provincial caucus, managed to win the last Ontario PC leadership campaign in 2015.

But the month-long PC leadership race this year — only a few days remain for candidates to sign up members — gives little time to sign up new members attracted by an outsider, or for an insurgent to swamp the ranks of the established party base. Instead, the decision will be made largely by those pre-existing members.

Their choice won't simply affect the party's chances in the upcoming provincial election. It could also have a significant influence on the direction of the party for years to come.

If Patrick Brown can clear his name, he can run for Ontario PCs: Elliott

Brown stepped down as leader after allegations of sexual misconduct

Ontario Progressive Conservative party leadership candidate Christine Elliott says that if her predecessor can clear his name, he should be able to run for the party in the next election.

Patrick Brown resigned as Ontario PC leader late last month after being accused of sexual misconduct in incidents dating back years. He denounced the allegations, which have not been verified by The Canadian Press, as "absolute lies" in an interview with Postmedia, adding that he's contemplating legal action.

Elliott was the final of the three PC leadership candidates to address the annual Manning Networking Conference, but the only one to be asked directly about Brown by the moderator, journalist Anthony Furey.

"I think it's important for Patrick to come forward to say his view of what happened," Elliott said during a question-and-answer session at an annual conference for conservatives in Ottawa.



"I know he is trying to clear his name, if he is able to clear his name by the time the election comes forward then I would have no problem with him running as a candidate. But that has to happen before, in my opinion, he should be able to run."

Elliott was also asked several more pointed policy and current events questions than her competitors — longtime municipal politician Doug Ford and relative political neophyte Caroline Mulroney.

Among them, whether as someone who was appointed by current Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne as the province's patient ombudsman, she's just part of the so-called Liberal swamp the Ontario PCs want to drain.

"Absolutely not," she said.

"I've always been a proud Progressive Conservative."

It's Elliott's third time trying for leadership of the PC Party; she lost to Brown in 2015 and to Tim Hudak in 2009.

A knock against her in the past had been her lack of political and leadership experience, but she said Saturday she has far more of both now than she did in the last leadership campaigns.

She said the key to her victory, and the party's at large come the provincial election, is to ensure everyone has a home in the Ontario PC Party.

Toronto experience relevant, says Ford


That's Ford's goal too. He said Saturday he's confident he can translate a history of electoral success in Toronto into a win provincially, not just for leadership but for the Ontario PCs as a whole.

He cited his performance in Toronto's 2014 mayoral election — he raked in about 34 per cent of the vote, finishing second after John Tory. That, he suggested, bodes well for his potential to turn Toronto's typically left-leaning voters.

"We need those seats."

He'll win them not just on the backs of Ford Nation, the nickname given to the passionate supporters of Doug and his late brother Rob.

It's thanks to them that Fords have represented a suburban Toronto riding for years, and it's because of them he'll run no matter what in 2018, he said.

But attracting NDP and Liberal voters are also key, he said, as he claimed that much of the PC Party base comes from the left.

"Don't count out hardworking union people as being fiscally conservative," he said.

Ontario PCs overturn two controversial nominations in Scarborough and Ottawa

Candidates Thenusha Parani, Karma Macgregor call on PC leadership candidates to put an end to review


Scarborough Centre candidate Thenusha Parani, left, and Ottawa West-Nepean candidate Karma Macgregor had their nominations overturned on Friday by Ontario PC Party officials. (CBC)

The Progressive Conservative Party of Ontario overturned controversial nominations for two candidates in Scarborough Centre and Ottawa West-Nepean on Friday amidst reports of alleged corruption.

In the wake of problems surrounding former PC leader Patrick Brown, officials with the Tories decided to throw out the results of contentious candidate elections after some long-time PC members urged the party to reopen nominations across Ontario.


Nominations for as many as six candidates, including Scarborough Centre candidate Thenusha Parani and Ottawa West-Nepean candidate Karma Macgregor, were in consideration to be overturned.


Parani was officially named as the candidate for Scarborough Centre after winning a June 26 nomination meeting, despite complaints that people who signed Parani's nomination papers were not eligible under the party's rules.

In July of 2017 Progressive Conservative members asked for Parani's nomination to be stripped because of alleged irregularities.

Toronto police officers even questioned Parani's history of extensive volunteer work she claims she did with the force.

Meanwhile, allegations of shady campaign tactics were made in the riding of Ottawa West-Nepean where Macgregor defeated Jeremy Roberts by a mere 15 votes at the nomination meeting in May of 2017.

Candidates push back


Prior to the decision, both Parani and Macgregor issued a joint statement fighting back against the push to overturn their nominations.

"We have learned today that there are actions being taken against a number of candidates by certain individuals based on rumours and innuendos," they said.

The rookie candidates said they have not been asked or given an opportunity to provide their point of view on the situation and find that more women are being targeted unfairly.

"We call on the leadership candidates Caroline Mulroney, Christine Elliot and Doug Ford, and interim leader Vic Fedeli, to put an end to this, so we can move forward collectively."

PC party members urge clean up


Retired Conservative Senator Marjory LeBreton told CBC News the party still had time to run a properly constituted riding nomination meeting.

LeBreton said she witnessed a nomination meeting that had very fraudulent activity in Ottawa West-Nepean on May 6, 2017.

"At the time I called for the party to take a look at it and declare the meeting void," she said.


Brown, then leader, had appointed candidates who were nominated in controversial nomination meetings across the province despite calls for a review. He approved the nominations of Parani and Macgregor.

Several other Progressive Conservative party volunteers told CBC they saw evidence party executives allowed ballot stuffing and ineligible members to vote.

Since Brown resigned on Jan. 25 after allegations of sexual misconduct involving teenage girls surfaced, the PC party says it has started making moves to fix internal issues.

New nomination meetings are expected to be held prior to the provincial election on June 7.

Vikram Singh drops his lawsuit against PC party over Hamilton nomination

Police investigation continues, but Singh says he accepts party can choose candidate it wants

A Dundas lawyer who has fought the Ontario PC party in court over what he says was a rigged nomination process has dropped his lawsuit.

In a joint statement with the party, Vikram Singh says he accepts that party leader Patrick Brown can choose whatever candidate he wants.

"I now accept that PC party officials, staff and volunteers were dedicated to achieving the fairest result for the Hamilton community, and can no longer maintain that there was any untoward behaviour on their part," Singh said.

"Furthermore, I acknowledge that the PC party's nomination rules and the Election Act (Ontario), when read together, give the leader of the PC party the authority to identify the candidates who may run under the PC party banner in a provincial election."



The case is still being investigated by Hamilton Police Service and the Public Prosecution Service of Canada
.
But dropping the suit ends an expensive months-long journey for Singh, who was vying for the Hamilton West-Ancaster-Dundas provincial PC nomination.

Singh, 31, says he had Brown's blessing to run for the nomination. But in May, he alleged, party officials intervened at the nomination meeting by stuffing ballot boxes and turning away voters, causing him to lose and Ben Levitt to win.

Singh asked the party to review the nomination. But in June, Brown certified more than 60 selected candidates, including Levitt. Singh and another failed candidate, Jeff Peller, applied for a judicial review.


In an affidavit, party president Rick Dykstra said Singh "inspired mistrust" and didn't fit the right demographic to win the election. Dykstra also said Brown can choose whatever candidate he wants regardless of the nomination process.

The party also worried about public perception if the Singh family's decades-old link the militant Sikh group Babbar Khalsa resurfaced.

Peller dropped his request for a judicial review in the fall. Singh's case, meanwhile, included a secretly-recorded phone conversation between himself and party brass. Earlier this week, a panel of appeal court judges ruled against the conversation being used as evidence.

It's not immediately clear if Singh will still owe the party about $180,000 in legal fees from that battle.
In the statement, Brown said he has "full confidence in our party officials and our process," and "am satisfied with our outcome in Hamilton West-Ancaster-Dundas."

In the fall, Hamilton police used a search warrant to obtain two cardboard boxes — one with ballots, one with credentials forms — from the May 7 nomination meeting for Hamilton West-Ancaster-Dundas (HWAD).

Police also examined a large volume of emails and two USB drives containing digital versions of those emails.

The party says it voluntarily handed over the materials to investigators at its lawyer's Bay Street office in Toronto on Oct. 27.

Ontario's Ministry of Attorney General has asked the federal prosecution office to handle the case, to avoid any appearance of political interference in any legal actions taken.

PC nomination battles brought friction in several ridings last year, including Flamborough-Glanbrook. Retired Conservative senator Marjory LeBreton also urged leader Patrick Brown to "do the right thing" when it comes to handling nominations.

Last year, Brown hired PricewaterhouseCoopers to oversee nominations.

"I welcome the continued involvement of all 200,000 members of our party," he said Wednesday.

Respondent on the cross-appeal
(and formally Appellant)
and
HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN
Appellant on the cross-appeal
(and formerly Respondent)
REASONS FOR JUDGMENT BY THE COURT

I.                    Introduction

[1]               On September 16, 2015, David Raymond Amos (Mr. Amos)
filed a 53-page Statement of Claim (the Claim) in Federal Court
against Her Majesty the Queen (the Crown). Mr. Amos claims $11 million
in damages and a public apology from the Prime Minister and Provincial
Premiers for being illegally barred from accessing parliamentary
properties and seeks a declaration from the Minister of Public Safety
that the Canadian Government will no longer allow the Royal Canadian
Mounted Police (RCMP) and Canadian Forces to harass him and his clan
(Claim at para. 96).

[2]               On November 12, 2015 (Docket T-1557-15), by way of a
motion brought by the Crown, a prothonotary of the Federal Court (the
Prothonotary) struck the Claim in its entirety, without leave to
amend, on the basis that it was plain and obvious that the Claim
disclosed no reasonable claim, the Claim was fundamentally vexatious,
and the Claim could not be salvaged by way of further amendment (the
Prothontary’s Order).


[3]               On January 25, 2016 (2016 FC 93), by way of Mr.
Amos’ appeal from the Prothonotary’s Order, a judge of the Federal
Court (the Judge), reviewing the matter de novo, struck all of Mr.
Amos’ claims for relief with the exception of the claim for damages
for being barred by the RCMP from the New Brunswick legislature in
2004 (the Federal Court Judgment).


[4]               Mr. Amos appealed and the Crown cross-appealed the
Federal Court Judgment. Further to the issuance of a Notice of Status
Review, Mr. Amos’ appeal was dismissed for delay on December 19, 2016.
As such, the only matter before this Court is the Crown’s
cross-appeal.


II.                 Preliminary Matter

[5]               Mr. Amos, in his memorandum of fact and law in
relation to the cross-appeal that was filed with this Court on March
6, 2017, indicated that several judges of this Court, including two of
the judges of this panel, had a conflict of interest in this appeal.
This was the first time that he identified the judges whom he believed
had a conflict of interest in a document that was filed with this
Court. In his notice of appeal he had alluded to a conflict with
several judges but did not name those judges.

[6]               Mr. Amos was of the view that he did not have to
identify the judges in any document filed with this Court because he
had identified the judges in various documents that had been filed
with the Federal Court. In his view the Federal Court and the Federal
Court of Appeal are the same court and therefore any document filed in
the Federal Court would be filed in this Court. This view is based on
subsections 5(4) and 5.1(4) of the Federal Courts Act, R.S.C., 1985,
c. F-7:


5(4) Every judge of the Federal Court is, by virtue of his or her
office, a judge of the Federal Court of Appeal and has all the
jurisdiction, power and authority of a judge of the Federal Court of
Appeal.
[…]

5(4) Les juges de la Cour fédérale sont d’office juges de la Cour
d’appel fédérale et ont la même compétence et les mêmes pouvoirs que
les juges de la Cour d’appel fédérale.
[…]
5.1(4) Every judge of the Federal Court of Appeal is, by virtue of
that office, a judge of the Federal Court and has all the
jurisdiction, power and authority of a judge of the Federal Court.

5.1(4) Les juges de la Cour d’appel fédérale sont d’office juges de la
Cour fédérale et ont la même compétence et les mêmes pouvoirs que les
juges de la Cour fédérale.


[7]               However, these subsections only provide that the
judges of the Federal Court are also judges of this Court (and vice
versa). It does not mean that there is only one court. If the Federal
Court and this Court were one Court, there would be no need for this
section.
[8]               Sections 3 and 4 of the Federal Courts Act provide that:
3 The division of the Federal Court of Canada called the Federal Court
— Appeal Division is continued under the name “Federal Court of
Appeal” in English and “Cour d’appel fédérale” in French. It is
continued as an additional court of law, equity and admiralty in and
for Canada, for the better administration of the laws of Canada and as
a superior court of record having civil and criminal jurisdiction.

3 La Section d’appel, aussi appelée la Cour d’appel ou la Cour d’appel
fédérale, est maintenue et dénommée « Cour d’appel fédérale » en
français et « Federal Court of Appeal » en anglais. Elle est maintenue
à titre de tribunal additionnel de droit, d’equity et d’amirauté du
Canada, propre à améliorer l’application du droit canadien, et
continue d’être une cour supérieure d’archives ayant compétence en
matière civile et pénale.
4 The division of the Federal Court of Canada called the Federal Court
— Trial Division is continued under the name “Federal Court” in
English and “Cour fédérale” in French. It is continued as an
additional court of law, equity and admiralty in and for Canada, for
the better administration of the laws of Canada and as a superior
court of record having civil and criminal jurisdiction.

4 La section de la Cour fédérale du Canada, appelée la Section de
première instance de la Cour fédérale, est maintenue et dénommée «
Cour fédérale » en français et « Federal Court » en anglais. Elle est
maintenue à titre de tribunal additionnel de droit, d’equity et
d’amirauté du Canada, propre à améliorer l’application du droit
canadien, et continue d’être une cour supérieure d’archives ayant
compétence en matière civile et pénale.


[9]               Sections 3 and 4 of the Federal Courts Act create
two separate courts – this Court (section 3) and the Federal Court
(section 4). If, as Mr. Amos suggests, documents filed in the Federal
Court were automatically also filed in this Court, then there would no
need for the parties to prepare and file appeal books as required by
Rules 343 to 345 of the Federal Courts Rules, SOR/98-106 in relation
to any appeal from a decision of the Federal Court. The requirement to
file an appeal book with this Court in relation to an appeal from a
decision of the Federal Court makes it clear that the only documents
that will be before this Court are the documents that are part of that
appeal book.


[10]           Therefore, the memorandum of fact and law filed on
March 6, 2017 is the first document, filed with this Court, in which
Mr. Amos identified the particular judges that he submits have a
conflict in any matter related to him.


[11]           On April 3, 2017, Mr. Amos attempted to bring a motion
before the Federal Court seeking an order “affirming or denying the
conflict of interest he has” with a number of judges of the Federal
Court. A judge of the Federal Court issued a direction noting that if
Mr. Amos was seeking this order in relation to judges of the Federal
Court of Appeal, it was beyond the jurisdiction of the Federal Court.
Mr. Amos raised the Federal Court motion at the hearing of this
cross-appeal. The Federal Court motion is not a motion before this
Court and, as such, the submissions filed before the Federal Court
will not be entertained. As well, since this was a motion brought
before the Federal Court (and not this Court), any documents filed in
relation to that motion are not part of the record of this Court.


[12]           During the hearing of the appeal Mr. Amos alleged that
the third member of this panel also had a conflict of interest and
submitted some documents that, in his view, supported his claim of a
conflict. Mr. Amos, following the hearing of his appeal, was also
afforded the opportunity to provide a brief summary of the conflict
that he was alleging and to file additional documents that, in his
view, supported his allegations. Mr. Amos submitted several pages of
documents in relation to the alleged conflicts. He organized the
documents by submitting a copy of the biography of the particular
judge and then, immediately following that biography, by including
copies of the documents that, in his view, supported his claim that
such judge had a conflict.


[13]           The nature of the alleged conflict of Justice Webb is
that before he was appointed as a Judge of the Tax Court of Canada in
2006, he was a partner with the law firm Patterson Law, and before
that with Patterson Palmer in Nova Scotia. Mr. Amos submitted that he
had a number of disputes with Patterson Palmer and Patterson Law and
therefore Justice Webb has a conflict simply because he was a partner
of these firms. Mr. Amos is not alleging that Justice Webb was
personally involved in or had any knowledge of any matter in which Mr.
Amos was involved with Justice Webb’s former law firm – only that he
was a member of such firm.


[14]           During his oral submissions at the hearing of his
appeal Mr. Amos, in relation to the alleged conflict for Justice Webb,
focused on dealings between himself and a particular lawyer at
Patterson Law. However, none of the documents submitted by Mr. Amos at
the hearing or subsequently related to any dealings with this
particular lawyer nor is it clear when Mr. Amos was dealing with this
lawyer. In particular, it is far from clear whether such dealings were
after the time that Justice Webb was appointed as a Judge of the Tax
Court of Canada over 10 years ago.


[15]           The documents that he submitted in relation to the
alleged conflict for Justice Webb largely relate to dealings between
Byron Prior and the St. John’s Newfoundland and Labrador office of
Patterson Palmer, which is not in the same province where Justice Webb
practiced law. The only document that indicates any dealing between
Mr. Amos and Patterson Palmer is a copy of an affidavit of Stephen May
who was a partner in the St. John’s NL office of Patterson Palmer. The
affidavit is dated January 24, 2005 and refers to a number of e-mails
that were sent by Mr. Amos to Stephen May. Mr. Amos also included a
letter that is addressed to four individuals, one of whom is John
Crosbie who was counsel to the St. John’s NL office of Patterson
Palmer. The letter is dated September 2, 2004 and is addressed to
“John Crosbie, c/o Greg G. Byrne, Suite 502, 570 Queen Street,
Fredericton, NB E3B 5E3”. In this letter Mr. Amos alludes to a
possible lawsuit against Patterson Palmer.
[16]           Mr. Amos’ position is that simply because Justice Webb
was a lawyer with Patterson Palmer, he now has a conflict. In Wewaykum
Indian Band v. Her Majesty the Queen, 2003 SCC 45, [2003] 2 S.C.R.
259, the Supreme Court of Canada noted that disqualification of a
judge is to be determined based on whether there is a reasonable
apprehension of bias:
60        In Canadian law, one standard has now emerged as the
criterion for disqualification. The criterion, as expressed by de
Grandpré J. in Committee for Justice and Liberty v. National Energy
Board, …[[1978] 1 S.C.R. 369, 68 D.L.R. (3d) 716], at p. 394, is the
reasonable apprehension of bias:
… the apprehension of bias must be a reasonable one, held by
reasonable and right minded persons, applying themselves to the
question and obtaining thereon the required information. In the words
of the Court of Appeal, that test is "what would an informed person,
viewing the matter realistically and practically -- and having thought
the matter through -- conclude. Would he think that it is more likely
than not that [the decision-maker], whether consciously or
unconsciously, would not decide fairly."

[17]           The issue to be determined is whether an informed
person, viewing the matter realistically and practically, and having
thought the matter through, would conclude that Mr. Amos’ allegations
give rise to a reasonable apprehension of bias. As this Court has
previously remarked, “there is a strong presumption that judges will
administer justice impartially” and this presumption will not be
rebutted in the absence of “convincing evidence” of bias (Collins v.
Canada, 2011 FCA 140 at para. 7, [2011] 4 C.T.C. 157 [Collins]. See
also R. v. S. (R.D.), [1997] 3 S.C.R. 484 at para. 32, 151 D.L.R.
(4th) 193).

[18]           The Ontario Court of Appeal in Rando Drugs Ltd. v.
Scott, 2007 ONCA 553, 86 O.R. (3d) 653 (leave to appeal to the Supreme
Court of Canada refused, 32285 (August 1, 2007)), addressed the
particular issue of whether a judge is disqualified from hearing a
case simply because he had been a member of a law firm that was
involved in the litigation that was now before that judge. The Ontario
Court of Appeal determined that the judge was not disqualified if the
judge had no involvement with the person or the matter when he was a
lawyer. The Ontario Court of Appeal also explained that the rules for
determining whether a judge is disqualified are different from the
rules to determine whether a lawyer has a conflict:
27        Thus, disqualification is not the natural corollary to a
finding that a trial judge has had some involvement in a case over
which he or she is now presiding. Where the judge had no involvement,
as here, it cannot be said that the judge is disqualified.


28        The point can rightly be made that had Mr. Patterson been
asked to represent the appellant as counsel before his appointment to
the bench, the conflict rules would likely have prevented him from
taking the case because his firm had formerly represented one of the
defendants in the case. Thus, it is argued how is it that as a trial
judge Patterson J. can hear the case? This issue was considered by the
Court of Appeal (Civil Division) in Locabail (U.K.) Ltd. v. Bayfield
Properties Ltd., [2000] Q.B. 451. The court held, at para. 58, that
there is no inflexible rule governing the disqualification of a judge
and that, "[e]verything depends on the circumstances."


29        It seems to me that what appears at first sight to be an
inconsistency in application of rules can be explained by the
different contexts and in particular, the strong presumption of
judicial impartiality that applies in the context of disqualification
of a judge. There is no such presumption in cases of allegations of
conflict of interest against a lawyer because of a firm's previous
involvement in the case. To the contrary, as explained by Sopinka J.
in MacDonald Estate v. Martin (1990), 77 D.L.R. (4th) 249 (S.C.C.),
for sound policy reasons there is a presumption of a disqualifying
interest that can rarely be overcome. In particular, a conclusory
statement from the lawyer that he or she had no confidential
information about the case will never be sufficient. The case is the
opposite where the allegation of bias is made against a trial judge.
His or her statement that he or she knew nothing about the case and
had no involvement in it will ordinarily be accepted at face value
unless there is good reason to doubt it: see Locabail, at para. 19.


30        That brings me then to consider the particular circumstances
of this case and whether there are serious grounds to find a
disqualifying conflict of interest in this case. In my view, there are
two significant factors that justify the trial judge's decision not to
recuse himself. The first is his statement, which all parties accept,
that he knew nothing of the case when it was in his former firm and
that he had nothing to do with it. The second is the long passage of
time. As was said in Wewaykum, at para. 85:
            To us, one significant factor stands out, and must inform
the perspective of the reasonable person assessing the impact of this
involvement on Binnie J.'s impartiality in the appeals. That factor is
the passage of time. Most arguments for disqualification rest on
circumstances that are either contemporaneous to the decision-making,
or that occurred within a short time prior to the decision-making.
31        There are other factors that inform the issue. The Wilson
Walker firm no longer acted for any of the parties by the time of
trial. More importantly, at the time of the motion, Patterson J. had
been a judge for six years and thus had not had a relationship with
his former firm for a considerable period of time.


32        In my view, a reasonable person, viewing the matter
realistically would conclude that the trial judge could deal fairly
and impartially with this case. I take this view principally because
of the long passage of time and the trial judge's lack of involvement
in or knowledge of the case when the Wilson Walker firm had carriage.
In these circumstances it cannot be reasonably contended that the
trial judge could not remain impartial in the case. The mere fact that
his name appears on the letterhead of some correspondence from over a
decade ago would not lead a reasonable person to believe that he would
either consciously or unconsciously favour his former firm's former
client. It is simply not realistic to think that a judge would throw
off his mantle of impartiality, ignore his oath of office and favour a
client - about whom he knew nothing - of a firm that he left six years
earlier and that no longer acts for the client, in a case involving
events from over a decade ago.
(emphasis added)

[19]           Justice Webb had no involvement with any matter
involving Mr. Amos while he was a member of Patterson Palmer or
Patterson Law, nor does Mr. Amos suggest that he did. Mr. Amos made it
clear during the hearing of this matter that the only reason for the
alleged conflict for Justice Webb was that he was a member of
Patterson Law and Patterson Palmer. This is simply not enough for
Justice Webb to be disqualified. Any involvement of Mr. Amos with
Patterson Law while Justice Webb was a member of that firm would have
had to occur over 10 years ago and even longer for the time when he
was a member of Patterson Palmer. In addition to the lack of any
involvement on his part with any matter or dispute that Mr. Amos had
with Patterson Law or Patterson Palmer (which in and of itself is
sufficient to dispose of this matter), the length of time since
Justice Webb was a member of Patterson Law or Patterson Palmer would
also result in the same finding – that there is no conflict in Justice
Webb hearing this appeal.

[20]           Similarly in R. v. Bagot, 2000 MBCA 30, 145 Man. R.
(2d) 260, the Manitoba Court of Appeal found that there was no
reasonable apprehension of bias when a judge, who had been a member of
the law firm that had been retained by the accused, had no involvement
with the accused while he was a lawyer with that firm.

[21]           In Del Zotto v. Minister of National Revenue, [2000] 4
F.C. 321, 257 N.R. 96, this court did find that there would be a
reasonable apprehension of bias where a judge, who while he was a
lawyer, had recorded time on a matter involving the same person who
was before that judge. However, this case can be distinguished as
Justice Webb did not have any time recorded on any files involving Mr.
Amos while he was a lawyer with Patterson Palmer or Patterson Law.

[22]           Mr. Amos also included with his submissions a CD. He
stated in his affidavit dated June 26, 2017 that there is a “true copy
of an American police surveillance wiretap entitled 139” on this CD.
He has also indicated that he has “provided a true copy of the CD
entitled 139 to many American and Canadian law enforcement authorities
and not one of the police forces or officers of the court are willing
to investigate it”. Since he has indicated that this is an “American
police surveillance wiretap”, this is a matter for the American law
enforcement authorities and cannot create, as Mr. Amos suggests, a
conflict of interest for any judge to whom he provides a copy.

[23]           As a result, there is no conflict or reasonable
apprehension of bias for Justice Webb and therefore, no reason for him
to recuse himself.

[24]           Mr. Amos alleged that Justice Near’s past professional
experience with the government created a “quasi-conflict” in deciding
the cross-appeal. Mr. Amos provided no details and Justice Near
confirmed that he had no prior knowledge of the matters alleged in the
Claim. Justice Near sees no reason to recuse himself.

[25]           Insofar as it is possible to glean the basis for Mr.
Amos’ allegations against Justice Gleason, it appears that he alleges
that she is incapable of hearing this appeal because he says he wrote
a letter to Brian Mulroney and Jean Chrétien in 2004. At that time,
both Justice Gleason and Mr. Mulroney were partners in the law firm
Ogilvy Renault, LLP. The letter in question, which is rude and angry,
begins with “Hey you two Evil Old Smiling Bastards” and “Re: me suing
you and your little dogs too”. There is no indication that the letter
was ever responded to or that a law suit was ever commenced by Mr.
Amos against Mr. Mulroney. In the circumstances, there is no reason
for Justice Gleason to recuse herself as the letter in question does
not give rise to a reasonable apprehension of bias.


III.               Issue

[26]           The issue on the cross-appeal is as follows: Did the
Judge err in setting aside the Prothonotary’s Order striking the Claim
in its entirety without leave to amend and in determining that Mr.
Amos’ allegation that the RCMP barred him from the New Brunswick
legislature in 2004 was capable of supporting a cause of action?

IV.              Analysis

A.                 Standard of Review

[27]           Following the Judge’s decision to set aside the
Prothonotary’s Order, this Court revisited the standard of review to
be applied to discretionary decisions of prothonotaries and decisions
made by judges on appeals of prothonotaries’ decisions in Hospira
Healthcare Corp. v. Kennedy Institute of Rheumatology, 2016 FCA 215,
402 D.L.R. (4th) 497 [Hospira]. In Hospira, a five-member panel of
this Court replaced the Aqua-Gem standard of review with that
articulated in Housen v. Nikolaisen, 2002 SCC 33, [2002] 2 S.C.R. 235
[Housen]. As a result, it is no longer appropriate for the Federal
Court to conduct a de novo review of a discretionary order made by a
prothonotary in regard to questions vital to the final issue of the
case. Rather, a Federal Court judge can only intervene on appeal if
the prothonotary made an error of law or a palpable and overriding
error in determining a question of fact or question of mixed fact and
law (Hospira at para. 79). Further, this Court can only interfere with
a Federal Court judge’s review of a prothonotary’s discretionary order
if the judge made an error of law or palpable and overriding error in
determining a question of fact or question of mixed fact and law
(Hospira at paras. 82-83).

[28]           In the case at bar, the Judge substituted his own
assessment of Mr. Amos’ Claim for that of the Prothonotary. This Court
must look to the Prothonotary’s Order to determine whether the Judge
erred in law or made a palpable and overriding error in choosing to
interfere.


B.                 Did the Judge err in interfering with the
Prothonotary’s Order?

[29]           The Prothontoary’s Order accepted the following
paragraphs from the Crown’s submissions as the basis for striking the
Claim in its entirety without leave to amend:

17.       Within the 96 paragraph Statement of Claim, the Plaintiff
addresses his complaint in paragraphs 14-24, inclusive. All but four
of those paragraphs are dedicated to an incident that occurred in 2006
in and around the legislature in New Brunswick. The jurisdiction of
the Federal Court does not extend to Her Majesty the Queen in right of
the Provinces. In any event, the Plaintiff hasn’t named the Province
or provincial actors as parties to this action. The incident alleged
does not give rise to a justiciable cause of action in this Court.
(…)


21.       The few paragraphs that directly address the Defendant
provide no details as to the individuals involved or the location of
the alleged incidents or other details sufficient to allow the
Defendant to respond. As a result, it is difficult or impossible to
determine the causes of action the Plaintiff is attempting to advance.
A generous reading of the Statement of Claim allows the Defendant to
only speculate as to the true and/or intended cause of action. At
best, the Plaintiff’s action may possibly be summarized as: he
suspects he is barred from the House of Commons.
[footnotes omitted].


[30]           The Judge determined that he could not strike the Claim
on the same jurisdictional basis as the Prothonotary. The Judge noted
that the Federal Court has jurisdiction over claims based on the
liability of Federal Crown servants like the RCMP and that the actors
who barred Mr. Amos from the New Brunswick legislature in 2004
included the RCMP (Federal Court Judgment at para. 23). In considering
the viability of these allegations de novo, the Judge identified
paragraph 14 of the Claim as containing “some precision” as it
identifies the date of the event and a RCMP officer acting as
Aide-de-Camp to the Lieutenant Governor (Federal Court Judgment at
para. 27).


[31]           The Judge noted that the 2004 event could support a
cause of action in the tort of misfeasance in public office and
identified the elements of the tort as excerpted from Meigs v. Canada,
2013 FC 389, 431 F.T.R. 111:


[13]      As in both the cases of Odhavji Estate v Woodhouse, 2003 SCC
69 [Odhavji] and Lewis v Canada, 2012 FC 1514 [Lewis], I must
determine whether the plaintiffs’ statement of claim pleads each
element of the alleged tort of misfeasance in public office:

a) The public officer must have engaged in deliberate and unlawful
conduct in his or her capacity as public officer;

b) The public officer must have been aware both that his or her
conduct was unlawful and that it was likely to harm the plaintiff; and

c) There must be an element of bad faith or dishonesty by the public
officer and knowledge of harm alone is insufficient to conclude that a
public officer acted in bad faith or dishonestly.
Odhavji, above, at paras 23, 24 and 28
(Federal Court Judgment at para. 28).

[32]           The Judge determined that Mr. Amos disclosed sufficient
material facts to meet the elements of the tort of misfeasance in
public office because the actors, who barred him from the New
Brunswick legislature in 2004, including the RCMP, did so for
“political reasons” (Federal Court Judgment at para. 29).

[33]           This Court’s discussion of the sufficiency of pleadings
in Merchant Law Group v. Canada (Revenue Agency), 2010 FCA 184, 321
D.L.R (4th) 301 is particularly apt:

…When pleading bad faith or abuse of power, it is not enough to
assert, baldly, conclusory phrases such as “deliberately or
negligently,” “callous disregard,” or “by fraud and theft did steal”.
“The bare assertion of a conclusion upon which the court is called
upon to pronounce is not an allegation of material fact”. Making bald,
conclusory allegations without any evidentiary foundation is an abuse
of process…

To this, I would add that the tort of misfeasance in public office
requires a particular state of mind of a public officer in carrying
out the impunged action, i.e., deliberate conduct which the public
officer knows to be inconsistent with the obligations of his or her
office. For this tort, particularization of the allegations is
mandatory. Rule 181 specifically requires particularization of
allegations of “breach of trust,” “wilful default,” “state of mind of
a person,” “malice” or “fraudulent intention.”
(at paras. 34-35, citations omitted).

[34]           Applying the Housen standard of review to the
Prothonotary’s Order, we are of the view that the Judge interfered
absent a legal or palpable and overriding error.

[35]           The Prothonotary determined that Mr. Amos’ Claim
disclosed no reasonable claim and was fundamentally vexatious on the
basis of jurisdictional concerns and the absence of material facts to
ground a cause of action. Paragraph 14 of the Claim, which addresses
the 2004 event, pleads no material facts as to how the RCMP officer
engaged in deliberate and unlawful conduct, knew that his or her
conduct was unlawful and likely to harm Mr. Amos, and acted in bad
faith. While the Claim alleges elsewhere that Mr. Amos was barred from
the New Brunswick legislature for political and/or malicious reasons,
these allegations are not particularized and are directed against
non-federal actors, such as the Sergeant-at-Arms of the Legislative
Assembly of New Brunswick and the Fredericton Police Force. As such,
the Judge erred in determining that Mr. Amos’ allegation that the RCMP
barred him from the New Brunswick legislature in 2004 was capable of
supporting a cause of action.

[36]           In our view, the Claim is made up entirely of bare
allegations, devoid of any detail, such that it discloses no
reasonable cause of action within the jurisdiction of the Federal
Courts. Therefore, the Judge erred in interfering to set aside the
Prothonotary’s Order striking the claim in its entirety. Further, we
find that the Prothonotary made no error in denying leave to amend.
The deficiencies in Mr. Amos’ pleadings are so extensive such that
amendment could not cure them (see Collins at para. 26).

V.                 Conclusion
[37]           For the foregoing reasons, we would allow the Crown’s
cross-appeal, with costs, setting aside the Federal Court Judgment,
dated January 25, 2016 and restoring the Prothonotary’s Order, dated
November 12, 2015, which struck Mr. Amos’ Claim in its entirety
without leave to amend.

FOIA For Fun and Liberation
by Massachusetts Pirate Party

Publication date 2016-06-25
Usage http://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/
Topics Massachusetts, Public Records, Secretary of the Commonwealth, FOIA
Language English
Maya Shaffer is a reporter for the Bay State Examiner, and someone
who's used Massachusetts public records law enough to know it inside
and out.  This is a great talk, where Maya tells her stories of public
records requesters in Massachusetts.  Highlights include:

    The time Maya made an in-person FOIA request to NEMLEC -- the
Northeastern Massachusetts Law Enforcement Council.  NEMLEC wasn't
sure how to respond to an in-person request, so they called 911.
    An agency proposed a $400 fee to process a public records request.
The agency takes the $400, but never produces the records.
    How the city of Boston wanted to charge $10,000 to produce emails
between the city, and the Massachusetts Municipal Association
    How Massachusetts public records laws aren't "real laws", in the
sense that they're routinely violated, and the violating party is
never punished.
    The level of apathy and disdain that the Secretary of the
Commonwealth has for Massachusetts public records laws.
    The really neat things you can find out, if you manage to get your
public records request fulfilled.


Maya's talk was record on June 25, 2016, during PirateCon 2016.

YES FOLKS, I was elected to help you,but to my own interest electoral
reform will not work for me or my voter base, therefore take my
promise and kinda forget about it,

the honorable Justin Trudeau
better know as what I promise means nothing,just a election plot

Electoral Reform Meeting 39

The Chair:
Thank you very much.
Mr. David Amos, the floor is yours.

Mr. David Amos (As an Individual):
Mr. Chair, I ran for public office five times against your party.

That said, I ran against Mr. DeCourcey's boss right here in
Fredericton in the election for the 39th Parliament.

I was not aware of this committee meeting in Fredericton today  until
I heard Mr. DeCourcey speaking on CBC this morning. I don't  pretend
to know something I don't, but I'm a quick study. I thought I
had paid my dues to sit on the panel. I notified the clerks in a
timely fashion, but I received no response. At least I get another
minute and a half.

The previous speaker answered the $64,000 question: 338. I can  name
every premier in the country. Governor Maggie Hassan is my  governor
in New Hampshire. The people there who sit in the house get  paid $100
a year plus per diem expenses. I think that's the way to run  a
government. There are lots of seats in the house for a very small
state.

My understanding of this hearing is that you have to report to Mr.
Trudeau by December 1, because he said during the election that if he
were elected Prime Minister, the 42nd Parliament, which I also ran in,
 would be the last first-past-the-post election. You don't have much
time, so my suggestion to the clerks today, which I published and sent
 to the Prime Minister of Iceland and his Attorney General, was to do
what Iceland does. Just cut and paste their rules. They have no first
past the post. They have a pending election.

@David Amos
           A former friend of mine, Birgitta Jónsdóttir, founded a
party there, for which there is no leader. It is the Pirate Party.
It's high in the polls right now with no leader. That's interesting. I
tweeted this. You folks said that you follow tweets, so you should
have seen  what I tweeted before I came here this evening.

          That said, as a Canadian, I propose something else. Number
one, my understanding of the Constitution and what I read about
law.... There was a constitutional expert named Edgar Schmidt who sued
the government. He was the man who was supposed to vet bills for Peter
MacKay to make sure they were constitutionally correct. He did not
argue the charter. He argued Mr. Diefenbaker's Bill of Rights.

           In 2002 I read a document filed by a former deputy minister
of finance, Kevin Lynch, who later became Mr. Harper's clerk of the
Privy Council. Now he's on an independent board of the Chinese oil
company that bought Nexen. As deputy minister of finance, he reported
to the  American Securities and Exchange Commission on behalf of the
corporation known as Canada. It is a very interesting document that I
saved and forwarded to you folks. It says that he was in a quandary
about whether the charter was in effect.

@David Amos

The Chair:
Could it be in relation to a particular voting system?

Mr. David Amos:
According to Mr. Lynch, because of the failure of the Meech Lake and
Charlottetown accords, he was in a quandary as to whether the charter
was in effect. I know that the Supreme Court argues it on a daily
basis. That charter, created by Mr. Trudeau and Mr. Chrétien, his
attorney general at the time, gave me the right to run for public
office and vote as a Canadian citizen. However, in the 1990s, Mr.
Chrétien came out with a law, and because I am a permanent American
resident, I can't vote. Yet the charter says I can.

The Chair:
That's a—

Mr. David Amos:
That said, that's been argued in court. In 2000, Mr. Chrétien came out
with a law that said I couldn't vote. Right? He also took away my
social insurance number.

The Chair:
I don't know about the case—

Mr. David Amos:
No, he did.

The Chair:
But I don't know about the case.

Mr. David Amos:
I did prove, after I argued with Elections Canada's lawyers in
2004.... You might have taken away my right to vote, but you can't
stop me from running for public office, and I proved it five times.

The Chair:
Given that you're an experienced candidate—

Mr. David Amos:
Very experienced.

The Chair:
—does that experience provide you with a particular insight on the
voting systems we're looking at?

Mr. David Amos:
In Mr. Trudeau's words, he has to come up with a plan and no more
first past the post. My suggestion to you, in my contact today, is to
cut and paste Iceland's rules.
David Amos
David Amos
@David Amos
The Chair:
What kind of system does Iceland have?

Mr. David Amos:
It's just what you need, just what Mr. Trudeau is ordering now. It's
proportional elections.

The Chair:
Is it MMP, or is it just...?

Mr. David Amos:
I tweeted you the beginner's book for Iceland.

The Chair:
Okay, we'll look at Iceland.
We're just checking on the kind of system they have, but I appreciate
the input, especially from a candidate, from somebody who has run many
times.
But we do have—

Mr. David Amos:
I have two other points, because I don't think you can pull this off.
I don't think it will happen.

The Chair:
Well, I'm hoping we do.

Mr. David Amos:
Here is my suggestion. You guys are going north.

The Chair:
Yes.

Mr. David Amos:
Look how parliamentarians are elected in the Northwest
Territories. There is no party, and I like that.

The Chair:
That's true. We were just up in Yellowknife, in fact, and we learned
all about that. That's why it's good for us to be travelling the
country.
But, sir, I—

Mr. David Amos:
I have one more suggestion.

The Chair:
One more.

Mr. David Amos:
Mr. Harper changed the Canada Elections Act and I still couldn't vote.

The Chair:
Yes, I was in the House when that happened.

David Amos
David Amos
@David Amos
Mr. David Amos:
Anyway, that said, when you alter the Canada Elections Act, make it....
The biggest problem we have is, look at the vast majority of people
who, like me, have never voted in their life. Apathy rules the day.

The Chair:
Except that you've put us on to an idea about Iceland—

Mr. David Amos:
Let me finish.
I suggest that you make voting mandatory, such as Australia does. Make
it that if you don't vote, it costs you money, just like if you don't
report to Statistics Canada.

The Chair:
Well, we're talking about that. That is part of our mandate, to look
at mandatory voting and online voting.
You already had your last suggestion.
(2010)

Mr. David Amos:
Put in the line, “none of the above”, and if “none of the above” wins—

The Chair:
That's right, we've heard that, too.

Mr. David Amos:
Well, I haven't.

The Chair:
We've heard that in our testimony.

Mr. David Amos:
You and I will be talking again, trust me on that one, by way of writing.
You answered my emails, Ma'am.

The Chair:
Thank you very much, sir.
Now we'll hear from Julie Maitland.

Yo Norman Sabourin Need I say that the no-name assistant of your buddy
Chief Justice David D. Smith just pissed of the wrong Maritimer today?

The Crown Corp commonly known as the CBC is telling us some interesting
tales lately while Google continues to blog my long emails. However there
is mre than one way to skin a cat and use Google's resources to do so EH?

Methinks that as Drapeau quits and his questionable buddy Rideout
takes on the boss on Premier Gallant's behalf while he tries to buy
the next election things are becoming incredibly comical within the
justice system and the political scene of the LIEbrano so called "Place
to Be" N'esy Pas?

In my humble opinion Justices Drapeau and Smith and Bell in particular
should have done the right thing to see justice served on my Clan's behalf
LONG AGO if only because of their positions on the Canadian Judicial
Council but what do I know I am just the dumb Maritimer you have been
ignoring since 2005 CORRECT Norman Sabourin?

Anyway the no-name lady I talked to again today Justice Smith's office

Former Fall River Mayor Will Not Pursue Mayoral Bid in 2017

Providence, RI (July 26th, 2017) – The Law Offices of Ronald J.
Resmini has added a new attorney, Sam Sutter, Esq., to their expanding
team. An experienced and well-known practicing attorney since 1984,
Mr. Sutter will be focusing on expanding the firm’s growing clientele
in Bristol County. In accepting the position at the firm, Mr. Sutter
has decided to forgo a run for Mayor of Fall River this November.

“I am pleased to have Mr. Sutter join our team,” says Ronald J.
Resmini, Founder of the Law Offices of Ronald J. Resmini, “His
reputation speaks for itself and he will be an invaluable asset to our
firm. In addition to his tremendous legal experience, Sam has always
fought for what he believes in – this dedication will serve our
clients well as he advocates on their behalf.”

Prior to joining the Law Offices of Ronald J. Resmini, Mr. Sutter
spent the first 7 years of his in private practice on Cape Cod. In
1991, he went on to work as an assistant district attorney in the
Bristol County District Attorney’s Office. He then received the
Prosecutor of the Year award from Mothers Against Drunk Driving in
1992. He was promoted to Superior Court in 1995, where he spent 4
years handling major felony cases. During this time, he tried eighteen
Superior Court cases to verdict and won sixteen of them. In 2006, Mr.
Sutter was successfully elected Bristol County District Attorney, and
was awarded the Massachusetts Lawyers Weekly Lawyer of the Year award.

Sutter is eager to put his decades of experience to work for the
clients of Ronald J. Resmini, stating: “I went to law school to make a
positive difference in people’s lives.  I knew that someday I would
come back to practicing law.  This opportunity has come along at just
the right time in my life.  I was looking for the right partnership
and once I started talking to the Resmini’s I knew I had found the
right team.”

Once elected District Attorney, Mr. Sutter served for a total of 8
years leading the Bristol County District Attorney’s office. He began
his second term in 2010 and that same month became president of the
Massachusetts District Attorney’s Association. After a special
election in 2014, Sutter served as Mayor of Fall River for one year
and returned to private practice in 2016 concentrating in personal
injury. Mr. Sutter resides in Fall River with his wife, Dorothy.

Meet Sam Sutter, Esq

Sam Sutter graduated from Brown University in 1976. At Brown, he
played for the collegiate varsity tennis team and compiled the best
singles record on the team. Following his undergraduate career, Mr.
Sutter spent the next three years traveling to fifteen different
countries, teaching tennis professionally and playing in professional
tournaments. Following his travels, Mr. Sutter started law school at
Vanderbilt University School of Law and graduated in 1983.

The first seven years of his career, Mr. Sutter was in private
practice on Cape Cod, concentrating in criminal defense. Beginning in
January of 1991, he then went to work as an assistant district
attorney in the Bristol County District Attorney’s Office. He spent
four years prosecuting cases in the district court and tried over two
hundred cases. In 1992, he received the Prosecutor of the Year award
from Mothers against Drunk Driving and the organization featured him
in their national publication. In 1995, he was promoted to Superior
Court, and he spent the next four years handling major felony cases.
During this time, Mr. Sutter tried eighteen Superior Court cases to
verdict and won sixteen of them.

In 1999, he returned to private practice to concentrate on personal
injury and criminal defense. The next year, he began giving free
tennis clinics to the Fall River youth and taught several hundred kids
in Fall River how to play the game over the next seven years. For his
contribution to the local community, the Fall River Herald News named
Sam Sutter Coach of the Year in 2005. In 2006, due to an upsurge in
gun violence, gang activity, and unsolved homicide cases, he ran for
District Attorney against a sixteen-year incumbent who had close to a
million dollars in his campaign account. He won the election against
the odds. For his upset victory, Mr. Sutter won the Massachusetts
Lawyers Weekly Lawyer of the Year award in 2006.

For the next eight years, he served the people of Bristol County as
their District Attorney and led an office that made great progress in
reducing gun violence and decreasing gang activity, solving cold
cases, and promoting the rights of victims. Mr. Sutter also received
the SouthCoast Man of the Year award for 2007. In 2010, he received
the Massachusetts Nursing Association’s “Advocate for Nursing” award.
In November of 2010, he was elected to a second term as Bristol County
District Attorney. Later that month, he became president of the
Massachusetts District Attorney’s Association. For the next four
years, Mr. Sutter led an office that continued to make great strides
in reducing gun violence. In 2013, he oversaw the investigation of the
murder of Odin Lloyd, which led to the arrest, indictment, and
subsequent conviction of Aaron Hernandez, the former all-pro for the
New England Patriots.

In 2014, concerned about political instability in his hometown of Fall
River, he ran for mayor in a special election and won. For changing
the direction of his career and winning that special election, as well
as for the continued success of the Bristol County District Attorney’s
Office, Sutter again received the Massachusetts Lawyers Weekly Lawyer
of the Year award. Sutter served one year as Mayor of Fall River. He
focused on fostering economic development, which he did with the
securing of a new Amazon Fulfillment Center, the redevelopment of the
New Harbor Mall, and the expansion of small businesses throughout the
city. Mr. Sutter also, as Mayor, served as Chairman of the School
Committee in a year that saw continued progress in the Fall River
Public Schools. His administration was also able to produce and pass a
balanced budget during a very difficult fiscal climate.

In 2016, Sutter returned to the private practice of law, and he is now
excited to begin his collaboration with Resmini Law. He lives with his
wife, Dorothy, in Fall River. They have three children: two sons and
one daughter.
