Methinks
the politicians all know that folks are not "Too Dumb for Democracy"
The awful truth is that nobody gives a damn until its usually to late.
However when folks do get upset and pay attention strange thing happen
and dudes like Trump and Trudeau The Younger get elected with promises
of how they will drain the swamp end first past the post elections etc
but they are just a flash in the pan and things go back to the same old
same old instantly at the expense of the myths called democracy and
justice N'esy Pas?

Dennis Regan
Reply to @David Raymond Amos:
We are too dumb for democracy. We insist on being under a
self-appointed head of state (family gig forever and ever). We will
always insist on that, and always be dumb (it's a colonial thing).
Douglas Webb
Reply to @David
Raymond Amos: The simple fact that people voted for Brexit proved that
people will run over the cliff if someone persuasive shows them the way.
Until and unless people make an effort to be informed on the issues
(which is actual work that most people don't have anywhere on their
priority list) some/many will vote based on following their social herd
and/or other emotional shortcuts.

Harper was the boss and Mr Scheer was the Speaker N'esy Pas?

Reply to @David Raymond Amos:
You sued them for their gift of Candu (worth billions) to SNC for
millions and gave away your/our taxmoney? The queen should never have
anything to do with serious "Canadian" matters like this (or anything
else Canadian at all). Maybe you sued for another Harper/Scheer
blunder?

Political theorist David Moscrop has a plan to fix Canada's democratic system
CBC Radio ·
According
to a Samara Canada survey, nearly half of Canadian voters say that they
feel democracy has weakened. Political theorist David Moscrop believes a
more deliberative, participatory demoracy could change that. (Graham Hughes/Canadian Press)
This story is part of Day 6's Democracy Divided
series. Each instalment takes a close look at the health of the
democratic system in Canada leading up to the Oct. 21 federal election.
For
the first time in more than two decades of voting, Jeremy Cameron is
undecided on who he'll vote for — or if he'll vote at all.
"I honestly don't feel that any of these candidates have earned my vote."
Cameron,
42, has historically voted for progressive parties, and was a member of
the federal Greens at one point. But as the country heads toward
election day on Oct. 21, he's worried about growing political
polarization among voters and politicians.
"I'm personally disillusioned. I'm scared of what the future holds," Cameron, who lives in Calgary, told Day 6.
According to a recent CBC News poll, one-third of Canadians believe their vote won't make a difference. In a survey published
by the Samara Centre, a non-partisan political engagement organization,
nearly half of respondents said they believe Canadian democracy has
weakened.
Eyal Winter says that citizens are more likely to vote based on emotions. (Darryl Dyck/The Canadian Press)
But
according to economist and historian Eyal Winter, voters themselves may
pose one of the biggest challenges to the future of democracy.
Winter,
who heads the Federmann Centre for the Study of Rationality at Hebrew
University, has studied the way we vote and found it's hardly rational.
"It's
the subjective connection between the voters and the candidates, but
not really whether he's going to do a policy that favours me or favours
my interests," Winter told Day 6 host Brent Bambury.
'Expressive' voting
Winter
calls this "expressive voting." It's an approach the Jerusalem-based
academic saw earlier this month during Israel's second election this
year. Benjamin Netanyahu called the Sept. 17 election after failing to
secure support in May.
"Netanyahu has made huge policy
mistakes. He has engaged in illegal activities and he's facing
indictment, yet there are so many people who support him," Winter said.
"When
you ask these people they say, 'We just admire the person.' They are
voting for him because they feel — or those who support him feel — that
he is their guy
We can maximize the chance that [democracy] works by including more participatory and deliberative citizen procedures.
- David Moscrop, political theorist and author
But
Winter warns that voters' tendency to use emotional shortcuts has hurt
democracy in the past — and he says it may get worse before it gets
better.
Historically, voters tend to double down on their emotions until they are personally affected by their choices, he said.
That
behaviour won't change, he argues, "unless people will experience some
shock, some political shock, in the way of violent conflict [or] in way
of a big recession."
Deliberative democracy
Political
theorist David Moscrop says the key to creating better democratic
citizens is to make government more participatory and deliberative.
"That's
more important today than it has been for decades as we face a growing
number of challenges including, among other things, growing inequality
and climate change," said the author of Too Dumb for Democracy? Why We Make Bad Political Decisions and How We Can Make Better Ones.
David
Moscrop is a political theorist and the author of Too Dumb for
Democracy?: Why We Make Bad Political Decisions and How We Can Make
Better Ones. (Gooselane Books)
Moscrop
says there are existing models that Canadian governments at all levels
could adopt, including participatory budgeting and citizen's assemblies.
"Democracy, historically, has been a rough bet. It takes a very long time to build it and it collapses fairly quickly," he said.
"We can maximize the chance that it works by including more participatory and deliberative citizen procedures."
One example of participatory budgeting comes from Porto Alegre, Brazil, where thousands of residents have come together regularly since 1989
to set municipal budgets on everything from health care to
infrastructure projects. Last year, B.C. voters convened a citizen's
assembly on electoral reform.
He
envisions a country-wide system that operates like voluntary jury duty:
Once or twice in every voter's lifetime, they would be called to a
monthly citizens' assembly. Participants would be fed, offered
childcare, and maybe even provided with an honorarium.
Experts
would be made available and, over a period of six months, the group of
100 voters would work together to decide on the best way forward.
Not
only does research suggest that citizens tend to make thoughtful
choices in community spending and planning, Moscrop says that they
become "better citizens" and role models for their neighbours.
'Take part in a political activity'
But not all participatory democracy is deliberative, Moscrop says.
He points to referendums, including the 2016 Brexit referendum, as an example of "bad" participatory democracy.
"They
don't ask people to deliberate. They don't really even ask people to
think," he said. "They draw a line in the sand and say, 'You're on one
side or the other.'"
While
Moscrop argues that governments need to provide greater opportunities
and resources for citizens to take part in democracy, individuals can
also take action on their own.
He encourages voters to surround
themselves with people who disagree "in good faith" and to interrogate
their emotional reactions to information they hear from others.
"What
I'm suggesting is take a little bit of time — it could be as little as
20 minutes a day, half an hour — and then every so often take a day and
take part in a political activity," Moscrop said.
He says that's more important now than ever.
"If
you can build a competent, engaged citizenry, you're more likely to
preserve democracy in the long run. That's my bet," he said.

>
> OTTAWA — The Broadbent Institute and the Douglas-Coldwell Foundation
> are partnering to convene a national discussion on social democracy in
> Canada, on the occasion of our nation’s 150th birthday in 2017.
>
> As the country looks to this milestone, Canadians will be reminded of
> the role played by the thought and practice of social democracy in
> fashioning much of what generations have held most dear about Canada,
> whether it is public health care, protection of workers’ rights, or a
> generous system of social provision.
>
> “Social democracy transformed daily life in Canada and most other
> advanced economies in the 20th century, as governments delivered
> virtually full employment, rising wages and access to social programs
> and public services. The result was much greater equality of both
> condition and opportunity, enhanced security for all, and broadly
> shared economic progress in a still market based economy,” said Ed
> Broadbent, Chair of the Broadbent Institute.
>
> “As we celebrate Canada’s 150th anniversary, it is vitally important
> to reflect on this historical experience, and to re-examine the
> intellectual sources of social democratic achievement. An important
> first step is to take a closer look at Canada’s rich progressive
> traditions and their significant accomplishments for Canadians,”
> stated Karl Bélanger, President of the Douglas-Coldwell Foundation.
>
> The initiative is being launched with the publication of a discussion
> paper, Reflections on the Social Democratic Tradition by the Broadbent
> Institute’s Senior Policy Advisor, Andrew Jackson. The paper,
> available here, provides a political history, overview and critical
> evaluation of the social democratic project in Western politics - and
> in Canada in particular - in this moment of upheaval, inequality and
> decline in democracies around the globe.
>
> Since the 1980s, the market-restricting structures of social democracy
> have been under attack. As David Frum has pointed out, in launching
> this attack Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan deliberately set out
> to destroy social democracy.
>
> “The result,” said Mr. Broadbent, “has been an increase in
> environmental degradation, the financial crisis of 2008 and especially
> the alarming increase in inequality - culminating in the rise of
> right-wing populism.”
>
> Reflections on the Social Democratic Tradition will set the stage for
> the Broadbent Institute’s project Change the Game – an in-depth
> reflection on not only what history teaches us, but on what might
> constitute genuinely progressive policy advocacy in the months and
> years ahead.

> SNC-Lavalin lawyer Iacobucci urged to resign as Trudeau's Trans Mountain
> envoy
> By Alastair Sharp in News, Energy, Politics | March 5th 2019
>
> 'Not a shrinking violet'
>
> The UBCIC's Wilson said Iacobucci would ideally step down from his
> role leading the Trans Mountain expansion consultations, but should at
> least choose to remove himself from one of the files.
>
> “I think he’s embroiled in SNC and that he should stay over there but
> step down from the Trans Mountain pipeline one,” she said. “I would
> prefer him to step down from that one (the Trans Mountain pipeline)
> but maybe the majority of Canadians would prefer him out of SNC, I
> don’t know.”
>
> “He made a mess over there, we don’t want him to make a mess over here.”
>
> Wilson said the government's handling of both files showed a startling
> lack of transparency.
>
> “With SNC, we don’t know what was said to Minister Jody
> Wilson-Raybould or in the thousands of lobby meetings between SNC and
> the government," she said. "We also don’t know how Trans Mountain was
> handled in the inner core of the prime minister’s office and the
> various ministries involved, especially now that they are owners of
> the pipeline.”
>
> She pointed out the SNC-Lavalin could clearly benefit from
> construction and engineering contracts if Trans Mountain gets built.
>
> SNC-Lavalin employs about 9,000 people across Canada who work on
> projects in a variety of sectors, including oil, gas and pipelines.
>
> A spokesman for SNC-Lavalin declined to comment when asked about
> Iacobucci's dual roles. Iacobucci didn't respond to a request for
> comment.
>
> In May 2018, Canada’s elections watchdog laid charges against a former
> SNC executive, accusing him of orchestrating illegal federal political
> donations the company made, mostly to Liberal groups, as well as to
> Conservatives, more than a decade ago.
>
> During an emergency debate about the SNC-Lavalin scandal on Feb. 28,
> Green Party Leader Elizabeth May stood in the House of Commons to muse
> about Iacobucci's role in two key files it is juggling.
>
> "Frank Iacobucci is not a shrinking violet. He is playing an
> interesting role here. I wonder if my friend finds it's curious in any
> way that SNC-Lavalin's lawyer was the choice of the prime minister to
> run the Indigenous consulations in the repairing of the flawed
> consultations on the Kinder Morgan pipeline," she said, during an
> exchange in the Commons with Conservative MP Michael Barrett, who
> represents the Ontario riding of Leeds-Grenville-Thousand Islands.
> "And he is still playing that role, while he is also SNC-Lavalin's
> lawyer."
>
> Barrett responded by saying that nothing surprises him at this point.

>> Fredericton, New Brunswick, December 23, 2015
>>
>> PRESENT: The Honourable Mr. Justice Bell
>>
>> BETWEEN:
>>
>> DAVID RAYMOND AMOS
>>
>> Plaintiff
>>
>> and
>>
>> HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN
>>
>> Defendant
>>
>> ORDER
>>
>> (Delivered orally from the Bench in Fredericton, New Brunswick, on
>> December 14, 2015)
>>
>> The Plaintiff seeks an appeal de novo, by way of motion pursuant to
>> the Federal Courts Rules (SOR/98-106), from an Order made on November
>> 12, 2015, in which Prothonotary Morneau struck the Statement of Claim
>> in its entirety.
>>
>> At the outset of the hearing, the Plaintiff brought to my attention a
>> letter dated September 10, 2004, which he sent to me, in my then
>> capacity as Past President of the New Brunswick Branch of the Canadian
>> Bar Association, and the then President of the Branch, Kathleen Quigg,
>> (now a Justice of the New Brunswick Court of Appeal). In that letter
>> he stated:
>>
>> As for your past President, Mr. Bell, may I suggest that you check the
>> work of Frank McKenna before I sue your entire law firm including you.
>> You are your brother’s keeper.
>>
>> Frank McKenna is the former Premier of New Brunswick and a former
>> colleague of mine at the law firm of McInnes Cooper. In addition to
>> expressing an intention to sue me, the Plaintiff refers to a number of
>> people in his Motion Record who he appears to contend may be witnesses
>> or potential parties to be added. Those individuals who are known to
>> me personally, include, but are not limited to the former Prime
>> Minister of Canada, The Right Honourable Stephen Harper; former
>> Attorney General of Canada and now a Justice of the Manitoba Court of
>> Queen’s Bench, Vic Toews; former member of Parliament Rob Moore;
>> former Director of Policing Services, the late Grant Garneau; former
>> Chief of the Fredericton Police Force, Barry McKnight; former Staff
>> Sergeant Danny Copp; my former colleagues on the New Brunswick Court
>> of Appeal, Justices Bradley V. Green and Kathleen Quigg, and, retired
>> Assistant Commissioner Wayne Lang of the Royal Canadian Mounted
>> Police.
>>
>> In the circumstances, given the threat in 2004 to sue me in my
>> personal capacity and my past and present relationship with many
>> potential witnesses and/or potential parties to the litigation, I am
>> of the view there would be a reasonable apprehension of bias should I
>> hear this motion. See Justice de Grandpré’s dissenting judgment in
>> Committee for Justice and Liberty et al v National Energy Board et al,
>> [1978] 1 SCR 369 at p 394 for the applicable test regarding
>> allegations of bias. In the circumstances, although neither party has
>> requested I recuse myself, I consider it appropriate that I do so.
>>
>>
>> AS A RESULT OF MY RECUSAL, THIS COURT ORDERS that the Administrator of
>> the Court schedule another date for the hearing of the motion. There
>> is no order as to costs.
>>
>> “B. Richard Bell”
>> Judge

>>
>> Below after the CBC article about your concerns (I made one comment
>> already) you will find the text of just two of many emails I had sent
>> to your office over the years since I first visited it in 2006.
>>
>> I noticed that on July 30, 2009, he was appointed to the the Court
>> Martial Appeal Court of Canada Perhaps you should scroll to the
>> bottom of this email ASAP and read the entire Paragraph 83 of my

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

>> When I was still in Canadian Forces then Prime Minister Jean Chretien
>> actually committed the Canadian Army to deploy in the second campaign
>> in Iraq, the Coalition of the Willing. This was against or contrary to
>> the wisdom or advice of those of us Canadian officers that were
>> involved in the initial planning phases of that operation. There were
>> significant concern in our planning cell, and NDHQ about of the dearth
>> of concern for operational guidance, direction, and forces for
>> operations after the initial occupation of Iraq. At the “last minute”
>> Prime Minister Chretien and the Liberal government changed its mind.
>> The Canadian government told our amerkan cousins that we would not
>> deploy combat troops for the Iraq campaign, but would deploy a
>> Canadian Battle Group to Afghanistan, enabling our amerkan cousins to
>> redeploy troops from there to Iraq. The PMO’s thinking that it was
>> less costly to deploy Canadian Forces to Afghanistan than Iraq. But
>> alas no one seems to remind the Liberals of Prime Minister Chretien’s
>> then grossly incorrect assumption. Notwithstanding Jean Chretien’s
>> incompetence and stupidity, the Canadian Army was heroic,
>> professional, punched well above it’s weight, and the PPCLI Battle
>> Group, is credited with “saving Afghanistan” during the Panjway
>> campaign of 2006.
>>
>> What Justin Trudeau and the Liberals don’t tell you now, is that then
>> Liberal Prime Minister Jean Chretien committed, and deployed the
>> Canadian army to Canada’s longest “war” without the advice, consent,
>> support, or vote of the Canadian Parliament.
>>
>> What David Amos and the rest of the ignorant, uneducated, and babbling
>> chattering classes are too addled to understand is the deployment of
>> less than 75 special operations troops, and what is known by planners
>> as a “six pac cell” of fighter aircraft is NOT the same as a
>> deployment of a Battle Group, nor a “war” make.
>>
>> The Canadian Government or The Crown unlike our amerkan cousins have
>> the “constitutional authority” to commit the Canadian nation to war.
>> That has been recently clearly articulated to the Canadian public by
>> constitutional scholar Phillippe Legasse. What Parliament can do is
>> remove “confidence” in The Crown’s Government in a “vote of
>> non-confidence.” That could not happen to the Chretien Government
>> regarding deployment to Afghanistan, and it won’t happen in this

>> limited Canadian deployment to the Middle East.
>>
>> President George Bush was quite correct after 911 and the terror

>
> 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

> [7] However, these subsections only provide that the
> judges of the Federal Court are also judges of this Court (and vice

> [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

> [9] Sections 3 and 4 of the Federal Courts Act create

>
> [11] On April 3, 2017, Mr. Amos attempted to bring a motion

> 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

> Board, …[[1978] 1 S.C.R. 369, 68 D.L.R. (3d) 716], at p. 394, is the

>
> [17] The issue to be determined is whether an informed

> [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

> 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

> 30 That brings me then to consider the particular circumstances

> or that occurred within a short time prior to the decision-making.
> 31 There are other factors that inform the issue. The Wilson

> [19] Justice Webb had no involvement with any matter

> [20] Similarly in R. v. Bagot, 2000 MBCA 30, 145 Man. R.

>
> [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

> was before that judge. However, this case can be distinguished as
> Justice Webb did not have any time recorded on any files involving Mr.

> [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

> He has also indicated that he has “provided a true copy of the CD

>
> [24] Mr. Amos alleged that Justice Near’s past professional

> 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.

>
>
> 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

> 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
