I was a Liberal for 32 years,
I even worked on Ralph Goodales nomination to be the Liberal candidate
in Regina Wascana... now, they could not pay me to vote for Liberal. My
only wish is that Andrew can wake up and start acting like a leader
because Justin is a failure on every single policy that got him elected.

Methinks many folks would agree that the statement below was very ridiculous yet most appropriate for the Circus overseen by Trudeau The Younger N'esy Pas?
"Meanwhile, if the Liberals start winning in places like Saskatoon, they might start winning in a lot of places they haven't won before — and might be on track for 200 or more seats. That doesn't seem likely based on their current standing in the polls."

Methinks you may enjoy my letter about Ralph and the boyz in 2004 which can be found at the bottom of this file. Methinks it should be considered as comic relief brought to Parliament by a couple of pigheaded Maritimers from the opposite side of the fence in the same town N'esy Pas?

My favourite comment on Singh:
“I went to one of Singh’s meetings in Regina and was totally underwhelmed,” Nystrom said. “Someone asked him about the economy and he ended up talking about love and courage.”

may actually intend to keep.
The NDP will be planning how to avoid being obliterated.

Did they not just lose a federal by election in Quebec , a seat they held for over 12 years in the last 20, only for it to be taken by the Conservatives, a seat that they have not held in over 20 years?

has pretty much botched mostly everything he's tried to do and will
struggle to get anywhere near the votes as the last election.

Richard Dekkar
The chance of a Liberal being
elected in Saskatchewan is zero. The NDP may get some rump pieces in
the lower mainland but the interior is fuming with all the job losses
and won't vote progressive. The country will be pretty much blue from
Ontario through to most of BC and even Quebec will shed a lot of its
Liberal baggage.
That leaves Atlantic Canada for the Liberals - no big deal - and of course parts of Toronto that are still beholden to big government.

There's a place for invoking the "notwithstanding" clause, but this time, Ford is doing it frivolously.
I do worry that our Charter assumes responsible behaviour on the part of empowered citizens. If everyone behaves irresponsibly, then the /charter becomes unsustainable.
THAT's the sort of thing "notwithstanding" should be used for.

I like the precedent that Ford is setting here.
In fact, the next time the Liberals get elected, they should Ban all guns in Ontario, except from Law Enforcement.
If the Cons don't like it, and the courts rule it's unconstitutional, well the Liberals can simply invoke the notwithstanding clause. Brilliant!
The Liberals don't even have to tell anyone before the election that a gun ban is something they plan to do. All they have to do is campaign on the general promise to "Keep Ontarians Safe", and that will cover the gun ban after the election. Brilliant!
I love the precedent here!

There has to be solid case, properly researched, before you can go ahead with a proposal like that. It should be decided through a referendum and citizens must have a chance to study and debate the matter.

NDP, Liberals put contrasting electoral ambitions on display in caucus gatherings
The NDP's choice signals caution, while the Liberals' suggests ambition
The Liberals and New Democrats are
holding their national caucus meetings in different parts of the country
this week — and their choices of venue suggest that one party could
be playing small ball with its plans for the coming federal election,
while the other is swinging for the fences.
Beginning on Tuesday, the Liberals will hold their national caucus meeting in Saskatoon as the New Democrats gather in Surrey, B.C. for theirs.
Both parties appear to be pushing for gains in these two cities; the New Democrats hold no seats in Surrey and the Liberals aren't represented in Saskatoon. But if they're both playing offence, they're going about it in very different ways.
Surrey is a city where New Democrats have enjoyed some success before. Just across the Fraser River, Burnaby and New Westminster have been painted orange for more than a decade.
In Saskatoon, however, the federal Liberals haven't won a seat in 25 years.
These location choices suggest that the two parties are taking different approaches to the 2019 election. The NDP — struggling both financially and in the polls and grappling with internal issues — might be setting its sights on low-hanging fruit. The Liberals, meanwhile, might be targeting regions of the country where the party traditionally hasn't had much success.
This isn't the first time Prime Minister Justin Trudeau Liberals' have put their lofty electoral ambitions on public display. The party has held caucus meetings before in regions of the country where they have a limited record of electoral success: Saguenay, Que. in 2016 and Kelowna, B.C. last year. This past summer's cabinet retreat was held on Vancouver Island, where the party has been shut out for the last two elections.
But if the Liberals are really hoping to make a breakthrough in Saskatoon next year, the party is lifting its ambitions to dizzying new heights.
Saskatchewan has not been friendly territory for the Liberal Party. The only seat the Liberals have won in the province over the last five elections has been Ralph Goodale's Regina-area riding, which he has held since 1993. In 2011, the party's support in Saskatchewan registered just 8.6 per cent — its worst showing in any province in the country.
The Liberals did better in 2015 in the popular vote, capturing 23.9 per cent of ballots cast in Saskatchewan. It still wasn't enough to get them a second seat.
The party also experienced significant gains in Saskatoon, but they still remained in third position in the city and seatless. The electoral boundaries in Saskatoon shifted dramatically before the 2015 election, but the party averaged about seven per cent of the vote in the area in 2011. In 2015, the Liberals captured 25 per cent of the vote in Saskatoon's three ridings — more than tripling their vote share but remaining well behind the other parties.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau speaks to patrons at a Saskatoon diner in December, 2017. (Liam Richards/Canadian Press)
The
Conservatives won two seats and 39 per cent of the vote in Saskatoon in
2015, while the NDP took one seat and 33 per cent of the vote.
The party might believe it has an opening if the New Democrats bleed more support to the Liberals in urban centres like Saskatoon — and perhaps if Maxime Bernier's upstart party steals some votes away from the Conservatives. But if the Liberals were making a list of their potential gains in the 2019 election, no riding in Saskatoon would rank very highly. The last time the party won a seat in the city was in 1993.
There are few regions in the country where the New Democrats are in a good position to make gains. As things stand, limiting losses might be a more realistic objective for the party. But if the NDP is going to make gains anywhere, few places look as good to them as Surrey.
The city played an important role in Jagmeet Singh's victory in the party's leadership race last year. About 14 per cent of the money he raised came from Surrey residents. One-third of Surrey's population is South Asian, according to the 2016 census. That share of the population increases to 61 per cent in the riding of Surrey–Newton.
Singh's offer to members was that he could expand the party's base into new areas of the country: the Greater Toronto Area, where Singh was a provincial legislator, but also Greater Vancouver.
The New Democrats don't currently hold any seats in Surrey, but in 2011 the party won two of the four ridings then in the city. The B.C. New Democrats also won most of the city's seats in the 2017 provincial election, making gains at the expense of the B.C. Liberals.
Still, Singh has a challenge ahead of him. In 2015, the NDP finished second in only two of the five seats Surrey now has — Surrey-Newton and Surrey Centre — and was well behind the Liberals in both ridings. Polls also show the New Democrats are in a worse position in British Columbia than they were three years ago.
So the NDP might need to shore up what it already holds in B.C. first — including the ridings next door in the cities of Burnaby, New Westminster and Coquitlam. These include the riding of Burnaby South, where Singh will be running for a seat in the House of Commons in an upcoming byelection that is by no means a slam-dunk.
NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh has announced he will run in the upcoming byelection in Burnaby South. (Anita Bathe/CBC)
A
good election for the NDP would see the party holding these seats and
winning a few more in places such as Surrey. But a riding like Surrey
Centre might be only the 50th safest seat in an expanded NDP caucus. The
party would need to be winning further afield to take a serious run at
government.
Meanwhile, if the Liberals start winning in places like Saskatoon, they might start winning in a lot of places they haven't won before — and might be on track for 200 or more seats. That doesn't seem likely based on their current standing in the polls.
But you can't say the party isn't thinking big — something perhaps the NDP can't yet afford to do.
Beginning on Tuesday, the Liberals will hold their national caucus meeting in Saskatoon as the New Democrats gather in Surrey, B.C. for theirs.
Both parties appear to be pushing for gains in these two cities; the New Democrats hold no seats in Surrey and the Liberals aren't represented in Saskatoon. But if they're both playing offence, they're going about it in very different ways.
Surrey is a city where New Democrats have enjoyed some success before. Just across the Fraser River, Burnaby and New Westminster have been painted orange for more than a decade.
In Saskatoon, however, the federal Liberals haven't won a seat in 25 years.
These location choices suggest that the two parties are taking different approaches to the 2019 election. The NDP — struggling both financially and in the polls and grappling with internal issues — might be setting its sights on low-hanging fruit. The Liberals, meanwhile, might be targeting regions of the country where the party traditionally hasn't had much success.
This isn't the first time Prime Minister Justin Trudeau Liberals' have put their lofty electoral ambitions on public display. The party has held caucus meetings before in regions of the country where they have a limited record of electoral success: Saguenay, Que. in 2016 and Kelowna, B.C. last year. This past summer's cabinet retreat was held on Vancouver Island, where the party has been shut out for the last two elections.
But if the Liberals are really hoping to make a breakthrough in Saskatoon next year, the party is lifting its ambitions to dizzying new heights.
Liberals gained, but still third in Saskatoon in 2015
Saskatchewan has not been friendly territory for the Liberal Party. The only seat the Liberals have won in the province over the last five elections has been Ralph Goodale's Regina-area riding, which he has held since 1993. In 2011, the party's support in Saskatchewan registered just 8.6 per cent — its worst showing in any province in the country.
The Liberals did better in 2015 in the popular vote, capturing 23.9 per cent of ballots cast in Saskatchewan. It still wasn't enough to get them a second seat.
The party also experienced significant gains in Saskatoon, but they still remained in third position in the city and seatless. The electoral boundaries in Saskatoon shifted dramatically before the 2015 election, but the party averaged about seven per cent of the vote in the area in 2011. In 2015, the Liberals captured 25 per cent of the vote in Saskatoon's three ridings — more than tripling their vote share but remaining well behind the other parties.
The party might believe it has an opening if the New Democrats bleed more support to the Liberals in urban centres like Saskatoon — and perhaps if Maxime Bernier's upstart party steals some votes away from the Conservatives. But if the Liberals were making a list of their potential gains in the 2019 election, no riding in Saskatoon would rank very highly. The last time the party won a seat in the city was in 1993.
Can Singh help deliver Surrey to the NDP?
There are few regions in the country where the New Democrats are in a good position to make gains. As things stand, limiting losses might be a more realistic objective for the party. But if the NDP is going to make gains anywhere, few places look as good to them as Surrey.
The city played an important role in Jagmeet Singh's victory in the party's leadership race last year. About 14 per cent of the money he raised came from Surrey residents. One-third of Surrey's population is South Asian, according to the 2016 census. That share of the population increases to 61 per cent in the riding of Surrey–Newton.
Singh's offer to members was that he could expand the party's base into new areas of the country: the Greater Toronto Area, where Singh was a provincial legislator, but also Greater Vancouver.
The New Democrats don't currently hold any seats in Surrey, but in 2011 the party won two of the four ridings then in the city. The B.C. New Democrats also won most of the city's seats in the 2017 provincial election, making gains at the expense of the B.C. Liberals.
Still, Singh has a challenge ahead of him. In 2015, the NDP finished second in only two of the five seats Surrey now has — Surrey-Newton and Surrey Centre — and was well behind the Liberals in both ridings. Polls also show the New Democrats are in a worse position in British Columbia than they were three years ago.
So the NDP might need to shore up what it already holds in B.C. first — including the ridings next door in the cities of Burnaby, New Westminster and Coquitlam. These include the riding of Burnaby South, where Singh will be running for a seat in the House of Commons in an upcoming byelection that is by no means a slam-dunk.
Meanwhile, if the Liberals start winning in places like Saskatoon, they might start winning in a lot of places they haven't won before — and might be on track for 200 or more seats. That doesn't seem likely based on their current standing in the polls.
But you can't say the party isn't thinking big — something perhaps the NDP can't yet afford to do.

Tory says he met with Trudeau about Ford's plan to use notwithstanding clause
Toronto mayor hasn't asked Ottawa to step in, but has called for emergency council meeting Thursday
Mayor John Tory says Torontonians don't want to see "election meddling" — they want to see politicians getting things done.
Ontario Premier Doug Ford's latest announcement — that he will force through his plan to slash the size of Toronto city council to 25 wards from 47 just weeks before the civic election by using the constitutional notwithstanding clause to override a judge's ruling — "doesn't help," Tory said.
Tory has also called an emergency city council meeting for Thursday.
Thanks to Prime Minister @JustinTrudeau for meeting with me tonight to talk about my concerns around the province's use of the notwithstanding clause. I appreciate his support for democratic principles, democratic institutions, and the importance of respecting cities.
But the current mayor is also vowing to work with Ford.
Tory said he'll "stand up and speak out for Toronto," but added, if Ford calls on Tuesday, he'll take the call, despite the strained relationship with Queen's Park. Tory added he's "confident" he's handling the situation in the right way.
However, Jennifer Keesmaat, the city's former chief planner who is running to unseat Tory, attacked the mayor on Tuesday for his relationship with the Progressive Conservative government.
In particular, Keesmaat seized on a comment made by Ford on Monday that Tory "says one thing behind closed doors and then says something totally different in front of the cameras."
Keesmaat demanded that the mayor answer more questions about what he knew about a potential council cut.
Tory has also faced some criticism on Tuesday from council colleagues who point out that he didn't support the 47-ward system when it was voted upon in council.
On CBC Radio's Metro Morning Tuesday, Tory said he still supports holding a referendum that would ask Torontonians how many councillors there should be.

Greens unfazed by NDP incursion into their traditional turf
NDP likely will not split the environmental vote, political scientist says
New Brunswick residents who vote
with climate change in mind may have more than one party to consider as
the NDP broadens its priorities to include the environment.
While the Green Party has always been viewed as the environmentally focused group, New Democratic Party Leader Jennifer McKenzie said she's an environmentalist, and her party is the only one with a concrete plan to fight climate change.
"I think that if people take the time to look at and compare … they will see that our plan is the one that will make a difference," she said.
The NDP's plan was inspired by lack of action by Liberals and Progressive Conservatives, she said.
"Our [plan] is real, theirs is not," she said as she compared the NDP to Liberals and Conservatives. "Ours is funded, theirs is not. Ours has a clear plan on how we would create the funds and how we would spend it."
The NDP plan would rely on a $30-a-tonne tax on gas and electricity that would rise to $50 a tonne by the fourth year.
The tax would include carbon emitted by companies as well as individuals, so New Brunswick residents and visitors would see increases at the gas pumps and on their power bills.

McKenzie
said a third of the money made, what she expects to total $400 million,
would be returned to low- and middle-income residents in the form of an
HST-like rebate. It wouldn't be based on how much gas they buy but on
family size and income, she said.
A third of the revenues would be invested in renewable energy sources such as solar, tidal and wind energy, McKenzie said. The last third would be used for a more environmentally friendly public transit.
Green Party Leader David Coon said he's not concerned about the NDP possibly winning over the environmental vote.
"We are the green party," he said. "We're the only party that has taken the environmental crisis seriously, consistently, and have had good comprehensive solutions to the full gamut of challenges we face with respect to the air water and land of our province."
Coon rolled out his climate change plan Monday morning. He said he plans to amend the Clean Air Act to include carbon dioxide emissions in order to regulate carbon-producing industries such as oil refineries.

If
elected, a Green Party government would also require NB Power to use
renewable energy to provide 50 per cent of the province's electricity by
2025, and increase that to 100 per cent by 2050.
Coon said he will also focus on overhauling the public transportation system to be more efficient and go farther.
"We would work with Maritime Bus to make sure that we get service around the province where we need it," he said. "So, for example, we have a bus from Fredericton to Miramichi."
The Clean Air Act aims to protect the quality of the air people breathe, and puts caps on emissions of gasses such as carbon monoxide, sulphur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide.
Clean-air
advocate Gordon Dalzell said he's been working to get carbon dioxide
added to the list for the last four years. Every time, the response he
gets from the government is that it's up to the federal government to
amend the act, he said.
"I've always been told this is a federal responsibility, that was the party line," he said.
"If you really want to make a reduction, go after the big emitters … I think emission caps are very effective. We all play a role, but I think industry plays a bigger role."
Jamie Gillies, communications and public policy professor, said the NDP has presented a more comprehensive environmental plan "perhaps to show they are serious about the issue."
"The Greens, on the other hand, have streamlined their environmental platform perhaps because they have evolved as a party, and have pivoted away from being a one-issue party," he said.
"They are now a serious contender for further seats and perhaps the balance of power in the legislature. So their entire platform is fairly comprehensive."
He said the NDP will likely not eat into Green Party support on environmental issues because "this is an issue area where David Coon is widely seen as a credible expert in the province."
But Gillies said the NDP is "certainly" making a play for voters who believe environmental issues are important.

David Raymond Amos Versus The Crown T-1557-15
Court File No. T-1557-15
FEDERAL COURT
BETWEEN:
DAVID RAYMOND AMOS
Plaintiff
and
HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN
Defendant
STATEMENT OF CLAIM
The Parties
1. HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN (Crown) is Elizabeth II, the Queen of
England, the Protector of the Faith of the Church of England, the
longest reigning monarch of the United Kingdom and one of the
wealthiest persons in the world. Canada pays homage to the Queen
because she remained the Head of State and the Chief Executive Officer
of Canada after the Canada Act 1982 (U.K.) 1982, c. 11 came into force
on April 17, 1982. The standing of the Queen in Canada was explained
within the 2002 Annual Report FORM 18-K filed by Canada with the
United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). It states as
follows:
“The executive power of the federal Government is vested in the
Queen, represented by the Governor General, whose powers are exercised
on the advice of the federal Cabinet, which is responsible to the
House of Commons. The legislative branch at the federal level,
Parliament, consists of the Crown, the Senate and the House of
Commons.”
“The executive power in each province is vested in the Lieutenant
Governor, appointed by the Governor General on the advice of the
federal Cabinet. The Lieutenant Governor’s powers are exercised on the
advice of the provincial cabinet, which is responsible to the
legislative assembly. Each provincial legislature is composed of a
Lieutenant Governor and a legislative assembly made up of members
elected for a period of five years.”
2. Her Majesty the Queen is the named defendant pursuant to
sections 23(1) and 36 of the Crown Liability and Proceedings Act. Some
of the state actors whose duties and actions are at issue in this
action are the Prime Minister, Premiers, Governor General, Lieutenant
Governors, members of the Canadian Forces (CF), and Royal Canadian
Mounted Police (RCMP), federal and provincial Ministers of Public
Safety, Ministers of Justice, Ministers of Finance, Speakers, Clerks,
Sergeants-at-Arms and any other person acting as Aide-de-Camp
providing security within and around the House of Commons, the
legislative assemblies or acting as security for other federal,
provincial and municipal properties.
3. Her Majesty the Queen’s servants the RCMP whose mandate is to
serve and protect Canadian citizens and assist in the security of
parliamentary properties and the protection of public officials should
not deny a correspondence from a former Deputy Prime Minister who was
appointed to be Canada’s first Minister of Public Safety in order to
oversee the RCMP and their cohorts. The letter that helped to raise
the ire of a fellow Canadian citizen who had never voted in his life
to run for public office four times thus far is quoted as follows:
“Mr. David R. Amos
Jan 3rd, 2004
153Alvin Avenue
Milton, MA U.S.A. 02186
Dear Mr. Amos
Thank you for your letter of November 19th, 2003, addressed to
my predecessor, the Honourble Wayne Easter, regarding
your safety.
I apologize for the delay in responding.
If you have any concerns about your personal safety, I can only
suggest that you contact the police of local
jurisdiction. In addition, any
evidence of criminal activity should be brought to
their attention since the
police are in the best position to evaluate the
information and take action
as deemed appropriate.
I trust that this information is satisfactory.
Yours sincerely
A. Anne McLellan”
4. DAVID RAYMOND AMOS (Plaintiff), a Canadian Citizen and the
first Chief of the Amos Clan, was born in Sackville, New Brunswick
(NB) on July 17th, 1952.
5. The Plaintiff claims standing in this action as a citizen
whose human rights and democratic interests are to be protected by due
performance of the obligations of Canada’s public officials who are
either elected or appointed and all servants of the Crown whose
mandate is to secure the public safety, protect public interests and
to uphold and enforce the rule of law. The Crown affirms his right to
seek relief for offences to his rights under section 24(1) of the
Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms (Charter). Paragraphs 6 to 13
explain the delay in bringing this action before Federal Court and
paragraphs 25 to 88 explain this matter.
6. The Plaintiff states that pursuant to the democratic rights
found in Section 3 of the Charter he was a candidate in the elections
of the membership of the 38th and 39th Parliaments in the House of
Commons and a candidate in the elections of the memberships of the
legislative assemblies in Nova Scotia (NS) and NB in 2006.
7. The Plaintiff states that if he is successful in finding a
Chartered Accountant to audit his records as per the rules of
Elections Canada, he will attempt to become a candidate in the
election of the membership of the 42nd Parliament.
8. The Plaintiff states that beginning in January of 2002, he
made many members of the RCMP and many members of the corporate media
including employees of a Crown Corporation, the Canadian Broadcasting
Corporation (CBC) well aware of the reason why he planned to return to
Canada and become a candidate in the next federal election. In May of
2004, all members seated in the 37th Parliament before the writ was
dropped for the election of the 38th Parliament and several members of
the legislative assemblies of NB and Newfoundland and Labrador (NL)
knew the reason is the ongoing rampant public corruption. Evidence of
the Plaintiff’s concerns can be found within his documents that the
Office of the Governor General acknowledged were in its possession ten
years ago before the Speech from the Throne in 2004. The Governor
General’s letter is as follows:
“September 11th, 2004
Dear Mr. Amos,
On behalf of Her Excellency the Right Honourable Adrienne
Clarkson,
I acknowledge receipt of two sets of documents and CD
regarding corruption,
one received from you directly, and the other forwarded to
us by the Office of
the Lieutenant Governor of New Brunswick.
I regret to inform you that the Governor
General cannot intervene in
matters that are the responsibility of elected officials
and courts of Justice of
Canada. You already contacted the various provincial
authorities regarding
your concerns, and these were the appropriate steps to take.
Yours sincerely.
Renee
Blanchet
Office
of the Secretary
to the
Governor General”
9. The Plaintiff states that the documents contain proof that the
Crown by way of the RCMP and the Minister of Public Safety/Deputy
Prime Minister knew that he was the whistleblower offering his
assistance to Maher Arar and his lawyers in the USA. The Governor
General acknowledged his concerns about the subject of this complaint
and affirmed that the proper provincial authorities were contacted but
ignored the Plaintiff’s faxes and email to the RCMP and the Solicitor
General in November of 2003 and his tracked US Mail to the Solicitor
General and the Commissioner of the RCMP by way of the Department of
Foreign Affairs and International Trade (DFAIT) in December of 2003
and the response he received from the Minister of Public Safety/Deputy
Prime Minister in early 2004. One document was irrefutable proof that
there was no need whatsoever to create a Commission of Inquiry into
Maher Arar concerns at about the same point in time. That document is
a letter from the US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Office
Inspector General (OIG complaint no. C04-01448) admitting contact with
his office on November 21, 2003 within days of the Plaintiff talking
to the office of Canada’s Solicitor General while he met with the US
Attorney General and one day after the former Attorney General of New
York (NY) and the former General Counsel of the SEC testified at a
public hearing before the US Senate Banking Committee about
investigations of the mutual fund industry.
10. The Plaintiff states that another document that the Plaintiff
received during the election of the 39th Parliament further supported
the fact he was a whistleblower about financial crimes. In December of
2006 a member of the RCMP was ethical enough to admit that he
understood the Plaintiff’s concerns and forwarded his response to the
acting Commissioner of the RCMP and others including a NB Cabinet
Minister Michael B. Murphy QC. The Crown is well aware that any member
sitting in the last days of the 37th Parliament through to the end of
the 41st Parliament could have stood in the House of Commons and asked
the Speaker if the Crown was aware of the Plaintiff’s actions. All
parliamentarians should have wondered why his concerns and that of Mr.
Arar’s were not heard by a committee within the House of Commons in
early 2004. Instead, the Crown created an expensive Commission to
delay the Arar matter while he sued the governments of Canada and the
USA and his wife ran in the election of the 38th Parliament. In 2007,
Arar received a $10-million settlement from the Crown and the Prime
Minister gave him an official apology yet the US government has never
admitted fault. A month after the writ was dropped for the election of
the 42nd Parliament and CBC is reporting Syrian concerns constantly,
Mr. Arar’s lawyer announced that the RCMP will attempt to extradite a
Syrian intelligence officer because it had laid a charge in absentia
and a Canada-wide warrant and Interpol notice were issued. The
Plaintiff considers such news to be politicking practiced by the
Minister of Public Safety. He noticed the usually outspoken Mr. Arar
made no comment but his politically active wife had lots to say on
CBC. Meanwhile, the RCMP continues to bar a fellow citizen from
parliamentary properties because he exercised the same democratic
rights after he had offered his support to Arar by way of his American
lawyers. The aforementioned letter about financial crimes was from the
Inspector General for Tax Administration in the US Department of the
Treasury. Mr Arar’s lawyers, the RCMP, the Canadian Revenue Agency and
the US Internal Revenue Service still refuse to even admit TIGTA
complaint no. 071-0512-0055-C exists. However, the Commissioner of
Federal Court, the Queen’s Privy Council Office and other agencies
were made well aware of it before the Speech from the Throne in 2006.
11. The Plaintiff states that from June 24, 2004 until the day he
signed this complaint he has diligently tried to resolve the breach of
his rights under the Charter that are the subject of this complaint
with any public official in Canada whom he believed had the mandate or
the ability to request that the Crown investigate and correct the
malicious actions and inactions of the RCMP, Sergeants-at-Arms and
Aides-de-Camp in all jurisdictions. Until June 16, 2006 the Plaintiff
did not have irrefutable proof to support this complaint. Time did not
permit him to address it immediately in Federal Court in 2006 because
his slate was full. For instance on June 16, 2006 while dealing with
deeply troubling private family matters, he was running against the
Attorney General for his seat in the NS provincial election while
arguing members of the RCMP about strange calls he got from someone in
Ottawa who claimed the Department of Public Safety as her client,
dealing with many liberal party members who were about to witness in
Moncton NB the first debate of all those who wished to become their
new leader, assisting a farmer in his attempt to get some authority to
properly investigate the demise of his cattle and discussing with
members of the Saint John NB City Council the actions of a sergeant in
the Saint John Police Force who was calling friends of the Plaintiff
and claiming that he was drug dealing member of a bike gang that they
should stay away from while he was preparing to intervene in pipeline
matter that was about to heard by the National Energy Board in Saint
John .
