Cumberland seeking $300K in damages, court hears, in closing arguments
New Brunswick Court of King's Bench Chief Justice Tracey DeWare to rule on case in coming months
The judge in Rod Cumberland's wrongful dismissal trial heard closing arguments Friday, with his lawyer standing firm on the allegation Cumberland was fired over his views on glyphosate, and his former employer calling the accusation a "conspiracy theory."
The eight-day trial of Cumberland's wrongful dismissal suit against the Maritime College of Forest Technology wrapped up before New Brunswick Court of King's Bench Chief Justice Tracey DeWare, with final arguments from his lawyer, Paul Champ, and the college's lawyer, Clarence Bennett.
The day began with arguments from Champ, who ran through testimony the court heard from Cumberland himself, former and current college executives and employees, and a former student of his.
Cumberland was an instructor at the college when he was fired in June 2019. Central to his claim of wrongful dismissal was that he was dismissed for his opposition to the use of glyphosate, an herbicide widely used in the New Brunswick forest industry.
Champ referred to the minutes from the college's board of governors meeting from April 2019, in which it was noted that Cumberland had publicly criticized the forestry sector in relation to certain forest management practices.
The trial heard that three months prior to that board meeting, Cumberland acted inappropriately in the way he publicly questioned federal scientists who were presenting at a conference on herbicides and the forestry industry, held in Fredericton.
The trial heard that a senior J.D. Irving Ltd. employee took issue with Cumberland's comments and complained about them to a college board of governors member, who then contacted college director Tim Marshall.
"That's what it's about," Champ said. "It's about him expressing his opinions.
"'Publicly criticized the forestry sector', J.D. Irving. That's how J.D. Irving obviously interpreted it when he was criticizing the forestry scientists," Champ said.
The college, however, argued that Cumberland's dismissal with cause was the result of complaints from students about him, his resistance to a changing culture at the college, insubordination toward his superiors, and his behaviour leading up to and during the seminars, which took place in January 2019.

"We're here because the plaintiff, an employee of seven years of service is looking for 14 months of notice [in damages] … and $200,000 in damages because of essentially a conspiracy theory," Bennettt said in his closing arguments.
"A conspiracy theory that has been perpetrated by him, as well as by his lawyer, and there's no way around describing it that way."
Champ said Cumberland is seeking $300,000 from the college, which includes pay equalling 14 months of termination notice, as well as aggravated and punitive damages, each equalling $100,000.
After hearing more than three hours of closing arguments from both sides, DeWare said she'd reserve her decision, which can be expected as late as the end of March 2023.
Cumberland claims bad faith
Aside from the allegation that Cumberland was fired for his views on glyphosate, Champ discussed evidence on how senior members at the college dealt with him in the months leading up to his dismissal.
Those members included Gareth Davies, academic chair at the college, who was Cumberland's direct supervisor, as well as Marshall, the college's executive director, who the court heard was implementing changes at the college that Cumberland disagreed with.
Champ recounted how Cumberland, for months starting in fall 2018, was being ignored and improperly dealt with by Davies.

position and tried to undermine his authority. (Aidan Cox/CBC)
Champ argued that Cumberland repeatedly emailed Davies, asking to meet to settle their differences.
When that went nowhere, Cumberland emailed Marshall looking for help, Champ said.
"What does Mr. Marshall do? He ignores him," Champ said. "He ignores him. He leaves Mr. Cumberland twisting in the breeze."
'Disdain' for the boss
Bennett, in his closing arguments, drew focus to testimony about the relationship Davies and Marshall had with Cumberland, particularly in fall 2018.
The trial heard how Davies was at one time a fellow instructor and colleague of Cumberland's, but in summer 2018, was promoted over Cumberland to take on the newly created role of academic chair, which made him Cumberland's boss.
It was a promotion that the trial heard Cumberland took issue with and later filed an appeal over. It also prompted him to write an email suggesting he was preparing to sue the college over it.
Bennett also pointed to emails showing Cumberland calling into question decisions Davies made after becoming academic chair.
'Anything but respectful'
'Disdain for the "I'm going to suggest to you the emails [from Cumberland] ... are anything but respectful and in fact show Mr. Cumberland showed a complete disdain for Gareth Davies, and was intentionally showing disdain for Mr. Davies," Bennett said.
Bennett also noted how Davies testified that his views on glyphosate were similar to Cumberland's, and that Marshall didn't even know what glyphosate was prior to before becoming the college's director.
"I actually don't think there's anyone who testified who suggested they took issue with Mr. Cumberland's views on glyphosate," Bennett said. "But many discussed his delivery, his judgment.
"The evidence is pretty clear that [Cumberland's] conduct at the seminar was unprofessional."
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Cumberland's behaviour at herbicide seminars focus at hearing of wrongful dismissal suit
Rod Cumberland attended 2 seminars in Fredericton where glyphosate was discussed
Former instructor Rod Cumberland's behaviour at two seminars on herbicides was part of the focus Thursday as a court continued to hear his wrongful dismissal lawsuit against the Maritime College of Forest Technology.
The school's director, Tim Marshall, was questioned about how Cumberland's actions before and during the seminars held in January 2019 weighed on the decision to fire him five months later.
The trial had already heard that a group called Forest Info hosted two seminars in Fredericton, where students were invited to listen to scientists present their research on topics that the use of the herbicide glyphosate.
Marshall said that in the following days, Peter Fullarton, the director of the Atlantic Forestry Centre, called him to talk about Cumberland's participation at one of the seminars.
"He expressed concerns about how two federal scientists were disrespected in the sessions," Marshall said.
Jason Limongelli, J.D. Irving Ltd.'s vice-president of woodlands, also emailed Fullarton to complain about Cumberland's actions at the seminar, according to earlier testimony.
Limongelli wrote in the email that college instructors "should not be undermining federal scientists."
Email to students cited in firing
Marshall testified Fullarton took issue with an email Cumberland sent to college staff and students prior to one of the seminars, in which he raised questions about whether they would offer students a balanced perspective on the subject of glyphoste spraying.
That email, as well as Cumberland's actions at the seminars, were included as one of the reasons listed in his termination letter Marshall handed him in June 2019.
That letter accused Cumberland of undermining the content of the seminars, and for "actively discouraging students from attending the seminar, despite the fact that the seminar was vetted and approved by the [Maritime College of Forest Technology]."

In questioning Marshall on Thursday, Paul Champ, Cumberland's lawyer, raised another email by his client that encouraged a student to attend one of the seminars, but to go with his "critical thinking hat on."
Under further questioning from Champ, Marshall testified he did not hear any specific instances of Cumberland telling students not to attend the seminar.
Cumberland is now suing the college for wrongful dismissal, alleging his 2019 firing from the college was motivated by his vocal criticism of the use of glyphosate by the forestry industry.
The college has responded by arguing Cumberland's termination had nothing to do with his views on glyphosate, but was due to his being intolerable to work with.
Dissecting other reasons for dismissal
Cumberland's termination letter also alleged he locked students out of class if they showed up late, intentionally adjusted the classroom clock to give the illusion that students were arriving late to class, and physically removed hats from the heads of students.
The trial earlier heard from Gareth Davies, academic chair at the college, who said he looked into those allegations against Cumberland.
Davies also testified that he and Cumberland had a toxic work relationship, particularly after he was promoted over Cumberland for the new role of academic chair in fall 2018.
Asked by Champ whether he ever personally investigated the allegations against Cumberland, Marshall said he didn't. Nor did he speak to Cumberland about them prior to his firing, Marshall said.

investigate some of the complaints levelled against Cumberland leading
up to his firing. (Jacques Poitras/CBC)
Marshall also testified that he heard no complaints from students about Cumberland after Jan. 28, 2019.
That was the date that Davies emailed all staff at the college to inform them the college was ending rules, which previously allowed instructors to bar students from their class for being late.
Misaligned values
Marshall earlier testified how he took on the role of college director in summer 2017.
He said that as the months went on, he faced growing pushback and criticism from Cumberland over curriculum and other changes he was overseeing at the college.
Marshall said Cumberland made statements about how the college was going "soft" and that it was teaching students yoga, referring to a new elective they were able to take.
Marshall said that in 2018, Cumberland personally told him the views of the college no longer aligned with his, and that he was seeking alternative employment.
By fall 2018, Marshall said, he was thinking about an "exit strategy" for Cumberland, and started taking note of complaints and other reasons why he should be fired.
Both parties in the trial have finished calling witnesses.
New Brunswick Court of King's Bench Chief Justice Tracey DeWare is expected to hear closing arguments Friday.

Lawyer for fired college instructor zeroes in on email discussing why he should be let go
Rod Cumberland was fired from the Maritime College of Forest Technology in 2019
The trial over a New Brunswick college instructor's alleged wrongful dismissal focused Wednesday on how his behaviour at a seminar helped rationalize his firing.
Gareth Davies, academic chair at the Maritime College of Forest Technology, was under cross-examination in the Court of King's Bench about the discussions he had with college director Tim Marshall about why Rod Cumberland deserved to be fired.
Cumberland was fired from the college in June 2019 and is now suing the institution, alleging his termination was because of his open views on the use of glyphosate, a herbicide used in the forest industry.
The college has argued in its defence that Cumberland was fired because he was intolerable to work with.

was questioned about emails sent to him where Cumberland's firing was
being discussed. (Aidan Cox/CBC)
Davies was cross-examined about emails between him and Marshall in late January 2019, discussing the reasons why Cumberland was to be fired.
In a Jan. 30, 2019, email, a majority of the reasons had to do with Cumberland's actions leading up to and during two seminars he attended on the use of glyphosate earlier that month.
Marshall, in the email, said it was believed that Cumberland pre-emptively discredited presenters at the seminars and encouraged students not to attend.
Marshall also accused Cumberland of "railroading" one of the presentations, and said that college staff were embarrassed by Cumberland's questions to the presenters.
He also wrote in the email that following one seminar, a board member for the college contacted him, saying he was approached by two members of the New Brunswick Forest Technicians Association with concerns about Cumberland's questions, as well.
"I don't know the details of who was involved, but [Marshall] mentioned he was engaging the board about this," Davies said.
The email also mentions that Cumberland was not approved to attend one seminar during working hours, but according to Davies, he'd actually been approved to take time off.
Other items in the January email included mention of Cumberland setting his classroom clock to the wrong time to serve a personal agenda, and his physical removal of a student's hat.
Paul Champ, the lawyer for Cumberland, brought up another email sent just days earlier, where Davies directed staff that faculty weren't allowed to bar students from entering class for being late, and said the school's hat policy had been updated to allow them to be worn in class.
When asked by Champ, Davies testified he did send that email, and he'd received no complaints from Cumberland in the months between that email and when he was eventually fired.
Lack of punishment for other instructors
Champ also focused on examples of how other instructors were punished at around the same time in instances where students had lodged complaints against them.
Davies testified that a student complained that Phil Hughes had made inappropriate comments about "rape drugs."

Davies said he spoke to Hughes about the comment, which he agreed was outrageous.
In another instance, court heard that instructor Jim Bowen made a comment that garnered a complaint by some who found it insensitive to transgender or gender non-binary people.
Davies testified that neither of the instructors was punished following those complaints, and Champ questioned him as to whether he thought they were not more serious compared to those levelled against Cumberland.
"I don't know," Davies said. "Without further investigation, it's hard for me to judge the severity.
"Phil in particular, was adamant about the fact that he was entirely taken out of context. Without more information it was hard for me to judge. Obviously, [the student's] interpretation of it, that's awful."
College director testifies about growing hostility
The day finished with direct questioning of Marshall, who took on the role of executive director in June 2017.
Marshall testified that as the months went on, he faced growing pushback and criticism from Cumberland over changes he was overseeing at the college, including around curriculum.

Marshall said Cumberland made statements about how the college was going "soft" and that it was teaching students yoga, referring to a new elective they were able to take.
Marshall said staff also communicated to him that there was a "blow-up confrontation" during a meeting involving Cumberland over his son not being considered for an award given out by the college.
Marshall testified that by fall 2018, he started thinking about firing Cumberland, given there seemed to be a "misalignment" between Cumberland's values and the direction the college was heading in.
He said Cumberland even earlier expressed that misalignment in values and said he was seeking other employment.
Marshall also talked about the herbicide seminars held in January 2019, and how Cumberland's behaviour at them influenced his decision to fire him.
Asked why he waited until June of that year to fire, him, Marshall said he didn't want to interrupt the academic year for his students.
"Hiring faculty is not always easy job and if you have an immediate termination, to have someone qualified to step into classroom on Monday after a firing on Friday, I've seen it done most often with limited success," he said.
Marshall is expected to continue testifying Thursday.

Former supervisor recounts how Cumberland became increasingly difficult to work with
Gareth Davies, Maritime College of Forest Technology academic chair, was direct supervisor of Rod Cumberland
The trial in a wrongful dismissal claim by a former New Brunswick college instructor heard more testimony Tuesday about how his behaviour fostered a toxic work environment in the months leading up to his firing.
Gareth Davies, academic chair at the Maritime College of Forest Technology, testified in New Brunswick Court of King's Bench about how Rod Cumberland sought to undermine his authority and acted in ways that were "embarrassing" to the college.
"There was an increasing amount of email traffic coming from Rod that I found openly accusatory and disrespectful to me," said Davies, testifying before Chief Justice Tracey DeWare.
Cumberland is suing the college for wrongful dismissal, alleging his 2019 firing from the college was motivated by his vocal criticism of the use of glyphosate by the forestry industry.
The college has responded by arguing Cumberland's termination had nothing to do with his views on glyphosate, but was due to his being intolerable to work with.
Becoming Cumberland's boss
Davies was called to testify by Chad Sullivan, one of the college's lawyers.
He testified he started working as an instructor at the college in 2013 and, in October 2018, was promoted to the newly created role of academic chair.

Davies said it was a role that Cumberland and two other instructors had applied for, and one which made him the direct supervisor of Cumberland and all of the college's instructors.
Davies said he later learned from college director Tim Marshall that Cumberland objected to his being hired for that role and filed an appeal to the college's board of governors.
"Early on, there was almost an immediate increase in emails to me and all staff that even from an early point, from my perspective, were consistently questioning my perspective, my judgment on everything," Davies said, adding that Cumberland would often copy staff on those emails even if they weren't involved in the issue.
"That happened early on. I was concerned about it. It made more sense when Tim told me Rod was in opposition to me being hired as academic chair."
Disagreeing to punish students
Davies testified that much of the negative interactions he had with Cumberland came after a disagreement over whether to punish students over an incident at a camp the college hosted for second-year students in fall 2018 at Fundy National Park.
Davies said Cumberland was adamant that students had broken the rules when they travelled off the site of the campground to drink beer and watch a hockey game at a hotel in the nearby village of Alma one evening.
Davies said while it was billed as a "dry camp," where drinking wasn't allowed, it wasn't as clear whether instructors had any authority to go after adult students if they left the campground to drink outside designated class time.
Davies said he met with two members of the college's disciplinary committee, who both agreed the students shouldn't be punished for drinking.
Davies said he ultimately ruled the students didn't deserve to be punished, and he invited Cumberland in an email to meet with him in person if he wanted to discuss it further.
Davies said that meeting never happened, but he heard from colleagues that Cumberland was unhappy with the decision.
"Increasingly stressful," said Davies, when asked about the work environment thereafter.
"Faculty meetings were really tense, confrontational in general. People were upset about the nature and toxicity about those meetings."
Davies said when he clarified the rules about drinking at college-sanctioned camp events in a January 2019 email, Cumberland aired his disagreement in a response that other faculty were copied on.
"I thought it as an attempt to discredit my competence and judgment," Davies said. "I found it unreasonable and unnecessarily combative and disrespectful and didn't contribute to any constructive conversation around this issue."
Questioning Davies's handling of situation
On cross-examination, Paul Champ, Cumberland's lawyer, questioned Davies about how he went about handling that dispute.

He brought up emails where Cumberland asked Davies to meet about the issue of students drinking during college-organized camps, which Davies didn't follow up on.
"You weren't responding to Mr. Cumberland's emails because you knew he was on his way out the door," Champ said.
Davies earlier testified he'd already been in discussions with college director Tim Marshall about firing Cumberland over his conduct.
"That probably had an influence," Davies replied.
Champ also questioned Davies about decisions to make changes to the student policy handbook partway through the fall 2018 semester without informing instructors.
Those changes included removing the ban on wearing hats in class, which court earlier heard garnered complaints against Cumberland when he enforced it.
Davies testified he wasn't aware of any notice to instructors about that update to the policy when it was made.
Another change saw a loosening of a requirement that students give notice of any incident of absence from class, which court also heard Cumberland frequently enforced in the past.
Davies testified he wasn't aware of any notice being sent out to inform instructors about the change either.
"Mr. Cumberland wasn't aware of that either," Champ said.
'Embarrassed' by behaviour at seminar
Davies also testified about a seminar on herbicides held at the University of New Brunswick in 2019.
Davies said the event was intended to allow students the chance to listen to a group of scientists presenting their research on glyphosate, along with a question-and-answer session after.
Davies said he was there, as was Cumberland.
Davies said Cumberland dominated the questions and answers portion of the seminar, adding he made statements suggesting the panel members were biased when it came to the matter of glyphosate.
Davies said he ultimately felt Cumberland's remarks were inappropriate and sent the wrong message to students about how to behave professionally.
"I was embarrassed, I thought it represented the college poorly," Davies said.

Former student testifies Cumberland picked on students, made sexist comments in class
Cumberland's lawyer questions why specific allegations weren't included in email to college's academic chair
A former student of Rod Cumberland testified the fired New Brunswick college instructor picked on male students who had long hair and made sexist comments about women.
William Haley was one of four witnesses who testified Monday in the wrongful dismissal trial between Cumberland and his former employer, the Maritime College of Forest Technology.
Cumberland is suing the college for wrongful dismissal, alleging his 2019 firing from the college was motivated by his vocal criticism of the use of glyphosate by the forestry industry.
Haley was called to testify by lawyers representing the college and was directly questioned by lawyer Chad Sullivan.
Haley testified he was a student in several of Cumberland's courses and thought he was an intelligent person.
However, he said he felt Cumberland didn't actually want to teach students and was more concerned with perpetuating his views of how students should behave.
"It was a negative, toxic environment," Haley said, adding Cumberland tried to "cram" as many notes onto students as possible.
"It was death by PowerPoint," Haley said, referring to the popular software used for presentations.
Haley said Cumberland also followed strict and sometimes unfair standards around punctuality.
He said there were cases where Cumberland would lock the doors to the classroom at 8:58 a.m., even if the class was scheduled to start at 9 a.m.
"He thought if you weren't early, you weren't on time."
Haley also testified that Cumberland "made fun of students quite a bit," adding that Cumberland called him "the long-haired hippy student with fruity hair."
Haley also testified Cumberland said women belonged in the kitchen.
"It wasn't an every day occurrence, but it was more often than it should have been."
During cross examination, Paul Champ, Cumberland's lawyer, pointed out that those specific allegations weren't included in a complaint Haley sent to Gareth Davies, the college's academic chair.
Haley said he'd met with Davies personally to discuss the details of the complaint, and then wrote a follow-up complaint to Davies to include other behaviour by Cumberland, such as confiscating a hat from a student because he was wearing it during class.
Creating a toxic work environment
The college's lawyers also called on Sarah Weatherby, the college's administrator, and former colleague of Cumberland.
She testified how a toxic work environment was brewing as a result of conflict between Cumberland and Davies.
Weatherby said the conflict stemmed from Cumberland's dissatisfaction over how Davies responded to an incident where students were caught drinking during a school-organized camp at Fundy National Park in fall 2018.

Cumberland, testified Cumberland was creating a toxic work environment
for other employees due to his poor working relationship with academic
chair Gareth Davies. (Ed Hunter/CBC)
She said the students were told they weren't allowed to drink alcohol for the duration of the stay, but some were caught doing so at a motel in the nearby village of Alma.
Weatherby said she, Cumberland, and another instructor were in charge of the students and reported the matter to Davies.
She said Davies didn't feel the need to discipline the students, which disappointed her as well as Cumberland.
However, she said while she eventually let the matter go, Cumberland became increasingly defiant in his interactions with Davies.
"The environment was starting to get toxic for all of us," Weatherby said.
"You could cut the tension with a knife most days."
Weatherby also testified that she was "embarrassed" about Cumberland's approach to questioning scientists participating in a seminar on glyphosate held at the University of New Brunswick in January 2019.
"I felt it got uncomfortable with the questions being asked, which led to the students asking questions that weren't appropriate," she said.
"I felt he [Cumberland] was being a little too pushy with his views in that setting."
Weatherby said she left the seminar early because of Cumberland's behaviour, and Tim Marshall, the college's director, later asked to meet with her to discuss what happened.
She said the conversation was more about his conduct at the event, rather than his views on glyphosate.
"I told [Tim Marshall] I did leave, that to me it did feel it was a little inappropriate and intense."
Eroding discipline
Earlier in the day, court heard testimony from Phil Hughes, another former colleague of Cumberland, who was called to testify by Champ.

Hughes was a colleague of Cumberland and testified that the college's
management was becoming more lax on disciplinary measures and holding
less frequent staff meetings. (Ed Hunter/CBC)
Hughes said he was also on the fall trip to Fundy National Park and was disappointed by the absence of consequences for the students who drank alcohol.
Hughes went on to testify how over the years he noticed a relaxing of rules that were previously in place to enforce discipline among students, notably Davies's discontinuation of the disciplinary committee.
"I always thought there was a bar for students to meet — an academic bar — and other unwritten rules.
"I found they were steadily eroding."
Hughes said faculty were also becoming dissatisfied with the infrequency in which faculty meetings were being held, adding that he was finding it difficult to raise any concerns with Davies.
Board discussed Cumberland's firing
The trial also heard testimony from Van Lantz, a professor at UNB and member of the college's board of governors from 2013-20.
Lantz testified that Cumberland and his possible firing was discussed at a board meeting in June 2019.
"What I recall, we were told that there were some performance-related concerns and issues, inappropriate behaviour and as a result they were considering letting Mr. Cumberland go," Lantz said, adding that Marshall was the one raising those concerns.
Lantz said there was discussion about "inappropriate behaviour" by Cumberland, though no one went into specifics.
Champ then directed the court to minutes of the board meeting, which mentioned that the conduct of a college staff member during the glyphosate seminar in January 2019 was "said to be causing embarrassment to the board, to industry, and actually called the opinions of scientists into question."
Lantz confirmed that part of the minutes was in reference to Cumberland's actions during the seminar on glyphosate in Fredericton.
"I do take issue with the insinuation that researchers are in the pockets of industry," Lantz said, about opinions Cumberland shared about the speakers at the seminar.
"I didn't think that was appropriate to make."

Fired college instructor was 'resisting' change, school's lawyer argues
Rod Cumberland faces tough questions over claim he was let go over glyphosate views
A lawyer for the Maritime College of Forest Technology confronted Rod Cumberland with a detailed chronology of his frequent complaints about new approaches by new administrators in 2018 and 2019.
The college is denying Cumberland's claim he was fired for his views on the herbicide glyphosate and is arguing he was dismissed for being a difficult and disruptive employee.
The instructor complained about yoga courses, "oversensitive" colleagues and the possible renaming of the college's Woodsmen lumberjack competition team with a gender-neutral term, according to Cumberland's emails introduced as evidence in the Court of King's Bench trial.

In one email he referred to "these liberal politically correct leaders who are changing the fabric of what our college has been."
"You thought it should be the old forest ranger school, and others thought something different," asked the college's lawyer Clarence Bennett.
Cumberland agreed.
Later, Bennett asked him, "You will agree with me that none of this had to do with glyphosate spraying, right?"
"Right," Cumberland answered.
Cumberland, a wildlife biologist, is a vocal critic of industrial spraying of glyphosate by the forest industry and contends that it has contributed to a decline in the province's deer population.

During Wednesday's cross-examination, Bennett grilled him about how he contacted a lawyer, insurance companies, and a Fundy National Park official looking to bolster his arguments against the relaxing of rules against student drinking.
The instructor says he was seeking clarity because he was concerned he would be personally liable if a student were injured after drinking during one of the college's regular camp activities at Fundy.
Bennett told Cumberland it was "not your business" because executive director Tim Marshall and academic chair Gareth Davies had already made the decision.
"I think it's a lot of my business if I'm going to be the person put out there," Cumberland said.
"All of a sudden I'm disrespectful and insubordinate for trying to communicate this."
Lost out on promotion
The instructor was fired in June 2019. In 2017 he applied for the job of academic chair at the college but lost out to Davies.
Bennett suggested Cumberland's persistent complaints were motivated by his bitterness over that decision but the former instructor says he was expressing legitimate concerns, including about a heavy workload Davies assigned him.
"As a believer I'm expected to turn the other cheek. … I couldn't do that," he said.
"There's no question you were resisting Mr. Davies as your boss?" Bennett asked.
"I had concerns about the decisions that he was making that were going to affect me."
The trial also heard how Cumberland complained about a mediator brought in to resolve a dispute between him and a colleague. The mediation efforts always ended with the colleague and the mediator "pointing fingers at me," Cumberland said.
Bennett said he'll be presenting evidence that some of Cumberland's colleagues had warned him that he was at risk of being fired if he didn't stop complaining to Davies and Marshall.
The college's lawyer also challenged Cumberland's claim about the impact of the firing on his ability to get a job, accusing him of seeking out media coverage.
"The reason why your dismissal was so public is because you made it public," Bennett said.
It was Cumberland's decision to sue that forced the college to defend the decision with its account of his behaviour, he continued.
"You told everyone who would listen that you'd get to the truth, and that's what we're doing, isn't it?"
JDI involvement?
Later Wednesday, Atlantic Forestry Centre director-general Peter Fullarton confirmed during his testimony that an email complaining about Cumberland came from J.D. Irving Ltd.'s vice-president of woodlands Jason Limongelli.
Limongelli wrote in the email that college instructors "should not be undermining federal scientists."
CBC News reported on the email in April but at the time Limongelli's name and title were redacted. The unredacted version was entered into evidence at the trial.
In a later email Marshall responded that it was "very important to me that [the college] maintains a positive relationship with the organizations working in the sector we aim to serve."
Fullarton said he wasn't aware of anyone from JDI seeking Cumberland's firing.
Meanwhile, a federal research scientist with Natural Resources Canada testified that he wasn't bothered by Cumberland's comments at a seminar on glyphosate held at the University of New Brunswick in January 2019.
The college has cited his actions there "undermining" federal scientists as one of the grounds for his firing.
Cumberland spoke during a question-and-answer period.

Edge, a federal scientist who participated in a panel discussion on
glyphosate, testified that he was not bothered by remarks made by
Cumberland at the event, but admitted Cumberland's tone was aggressive. (Ed Hunter/CBC)
"The question he asked was more of a statement," said Chris Edge, one of the panelists. "It was quite aggressive, the way he asked it. … It was more like a longer statement."
Edge said the following week Marshall invited him to a meeting where he apologized for Cumberland's behaviour.
"I told him that it didn't bother me in the least," Edge recounted.
Fullarton said during his testimony however that he found Cumberland aggressive and didn't think he was setting a good example for students in the way he acted.
Edge said he didn't like Cumberland's insinuation in an email about the seminar that he wasn't independent and was being manipulated by the industry on the issue.
Edge said he has published 14 peer-reviewed papers on glyphosate and added that while he has no personal view on using it, his scientific assessment is that it has "negligible" risks when used in forests.
The trial is now adjourned until Oct. 3.

Fired instructor disputes college's claim he was a disruptive bully
Rod Cumberland’s lawsuit says he was fired for his anti-glyphosate views
In his second day of testimony in his lawsuit against the college, Rod Cumberland said he was concerned about changes at the college, including what he considered a softening of rules around student absenteeism and behaviour.
"I was trying to get some control back in my classroom, some kind of respect," he said, but new administrators were undermining him by undercutting and second-guessing his disciplining of students.
"I'd been thrown under a bus and run over."
Rod
Cumberland, seen here appearing at hearings into the province's use of
pesticides and herbicides in 2021, claims he was fired from his
instructor position for his views on glyphosate spraying. (Legislative Assembly of New Brunswick)
Cumberland is suing the college for wrongful dismissal in Court of King's Bench, saying he was fired in June 2019 for publicly opposing the industrial spraying of glyphosate on public forests in New Brunswick.
He believes industry representatives on the college board pushed for his removal.
On Monday two former college directors testified that industry officials told them they could "get rid" of Cumberland or sanction him.
The college denies firing Cumberland over glyphosate and says it will show the firing was about bullying and disruptive behaviour.
The college's lawyer Clarence Bennett began laying out that case late Tuesday afternoon when he started cross-examining Cumberland.
He signaled he would aggressively challenge the instructor's version of events and paint a different picture of how he acted toward his students and colleagues.
"I'm going to suggest to you that Mr. Cumberland's reputation is a bit of a loaded issue," he told Chief Justice Tracey DeWare. "He has one -- and I'm going to suggest to you that he's earned it."
He challenged Cumberland's claim to being a scientific expert on glyphosate, noting he's had no peer-reviewed articles published on the topic in academic journals.
Bennett read one rejection letter that told Cumberland an article he submitted was "more like an advocacy piece and is not a scientifically rigorous review."
Cumberland's testimony began Tuesday morning with his account of how he became alarmed in the fall of 2018 when college director Tim Marshall and new academic chair Gareth Davies didn't seem willing to enforce long-standing rules about student behaviour.
That included a ban on drinking alcohol during a fall camp in Fundy National Park for students.
Cumberland said he wanted to punish students who had left the camp site to consume beer while watching a hockey game in the village of Alma.

The students had been told the rules at the start of the year and again just before the camp, but Davies felt Cumberland and another instructor were being too strict and the students had done nothing wrong because they were "off-duty."
The incident undermined his authority with students and made it harder for him to enforce other rules, including a ban on wearing hats in class.
"They now think we're a joke," he recalled thinking.
Students knew administrators had second-guessed him and took advantage of it, becoming increasingly defiant, Cumberland said.
He said with no human resources department or union to turn to at the college, his only way to raise his concerns was with the administration.
When he pushed Marshall and Davies to clarify the changing rules and sought meetings with them to make his case, he got no response, he said.
"The only way you have to resolve stuff is to meet, and that was taken away," he said.
When Cumberland kept pushing for a discussion to clarify the rules, Davies wrote in an email that he found the instructor "offensive, disrespectful and insubordinate."
Cumberland said he feared he was being set up for dismissal.
"I felt like I was put right in a corner. I'm trying to do the best I can as a professional to deliver this course and they're not listening. It was extremely difficult, it was extremely embarrassing. I was totally frustrated. … I felt abused."
Cumberland also testified about a seminar on herbicides in January 2019 that is key to the lawsuit.
The college says in its lawsuit defence that Cumberland was "disrespectful and was openly dismissive, rude and insolent" toward federal scientists on a panel discussion about glyphosate.
His lawyer Paul Champ played a video of Cumberland's comments at the seminar where he can be heard asking the panel a question and a panelist can be heard responding.
In testimony, he described his questions as "challenging" but disagreed with a suggestion they were "combative."
Champ also had Cumberland read an email from the University of New Brunswick forestry dean Van Lantz thanking him for his contributions to the discussion.
Behaviour questioned
Cumberland said no one from his own college, including Marshall or Davies, said they were concerned with his actions at the seminar until a June 2019 meeting five months later where Marshall fired him.
"I said 'Are you sure this is what you want to do?'" he said of the meeting. "And he said 'Absolutely.'"
In cross-examination, Bennett brought up several examples of what he suggested was disrespectful behaviour by Cumberland toward students, such as when he used the terms "fruity" and "faggy" in class.
Cumberland said he didn't use the word "faggy" and his use of "fruity" was meant to mean "nutty" or "crazy."
When Bennett said a student was offended, Cumberland said the words weren't aimed at any individual.
"I did not realize that they would take it in that way," he said, adding he apologized to the offended student.
The instructor admitted under questioning by Bennett that comments he made in class about female students doing laundry "could be construed" as sexist.
Champ objected to several of the questions, calling Bennett's approach "trial by ambush." But DeWare said because the lawsuit was making broader claims than simple wrongful dismissal, Bennett had some latitude with his questioning.
Bennett's cross-examination of Cumberland is expected to continue Wednesday morning.

I support a forensic audit and investigation into the operations of MCFT to determine if the taxpayer’s money is being well spent.
There’s a lot more going on than meets the eye. An Investigative journalist should investigate.
There is a pattern in this Province of labelling inconvenient, “bothersome” truth speakers as “disrespectful” as a way to diminish the person when most often the real troubles lie with the top officials, politicians, bureaucrats etc. It is a way to turn the tables on the “difficult” person who seeks rights, care for our Province, truths and a better place to live.
All the college lawyers have done so far is demonstrate that Cumberland's calls for reasonable discourse with his administration, and advocacy for best practice in his field, were ignored by his employers.
None of the alleged issues with Cumberland's employment constituted significant reason for dismissal, even if they were true.
Frankly, a college administrator better be fired in the outcome of all this for mishandling the issue so badly. It was their only job.
However, Irving was taken to court for a wrongful dismissal a few years ago. They said the employee was a poor performer. The Irving evidence of this was a post-it note as documentation that the employee was warned prior to being dismissed. A post-it note! The former employee actually lost the case.
That sounds about right... everyone who voices an anti-glyphosate view gets removed.
1. At some future point, when Irving no longer needs to spray (because they have cut down everything they can), the government will ban spraying in the forests with the exception of clearing hydro right of ways.
2. The link between Glyphosate and cancer in humans will be proven
3. A bunch of people with cancer will bring a class action suit for compensation
4. Irving will be able to dodge responsibility because "government allowed the use of Glyphosate"
5. These people with cancer will settle with our provincial government for compensation
6. A future government will provide an official apology for ruining people's lives
7. The taxpayer will be on the hook for all the costs associated with this issue - even though a growing number of citizens are against the use of this chemical
Mr. Cumberland will win this one; probably with a generous financial settlement. I really hope though that the court ruling will be to reinstate the guy.
Why was he really dismissed? We all know the answer, including the company behind it.

Former college directors describe pressure from forestry industry over instructor's views
Former forestry instructor Rod Cumberland suing college for wrongful dismissal
Robert Whitney, who retired from the position in 2014, testified in Court of King's Bench on Monday about conversations he had about Rod Cumberland after the instructor sent out an email about glyphosate on his college account.
"We can get rid of him. He has no tenure," Whitney remembered being told at the time by Blake Brunsdon, then the chief forester for J.D. Irving Ltd. and an industry representative on the college board.
And Gerry Redmond, Whitney's successor, said he was approached by industry representatives on the college board "on a couple of occasions … wanting me to sanction Rod to prevent him from talking about the glyphosate issue."
Robert Whitney was one of two former executive directors of the school who testified Monday. (Ed Hunter/CBC )
Cumberland is suing the college for wrongful dismissal, alleging his 2019 firing from the college was motivated by his vocal criticism of the use of glyphosate by the forest industry.
The college argues it fired Cumberland because he had bullied students and undermined a colleague.
"It had absolutely nothing to do with glyphosate," one of the college's lawyers, Chad Sullivan, said during his opening statement Monday.
"He was terminated because he became intolerable to work with."
Whitney's testimony centred on an email that Cumberland sent on his college account in 2014 calling for a ban on herbicide spraying because of his belief it was responsible for a decline in the deer population in the province.
Whitney said his only objection to the email was that Cumberland sent the email on his college account.

Redmond says he pushed back against industry criticism of Cumberland
during his time as executive director of the Maritime College of Forest
Technology. (Jacques Poitras/CBC)
Students and staff were encouraged to follow their passions through community involvement, he said, whether that was in sports, religious groups or other activities.
Cumberland's email prompted a "barrage" of calls, emails and visits to his office by industry representatives, Whitney testified.
Brunsdon, he said, was "concerned that the college's brand had been used to promote a personal interest and he was very much concerned that the students might be exposed to a one-sided perspective … on the use of herbicides."
Whitney told him the use of the college email account was embarrassing but he testified Monday that Cumberland's views were within the acceptable terms of the debate over spraying.
"Even in science, there's lots of room for argument about the validity of one perspective or another," he said.
He rebuffed Irving's offer, in a Jan. 28, 2014 letter from Brunsdon, to present what the company called "a more science-based review" of literature on glyphosate "to ensure that facts are being considered in addition to opinions."
Rod
Cumberland, seen here speaking at an anti-glyphosate rally, was the New
Brunswick government's deer biologist for 15 years before going on to
work at the Maritime College of Forest Technology in Fredericton. (Radio-Canada)
Whitney responded that students were already getting that in their courses.
To have an additional perspective from an outside organization like J.D. Irving Ltd. would be "just the same or worse as having a biased view in the classroom," Whitney wrote in a Jan. 31, 2014 letter.
He told the court that Cumberland had a right to his opinions. "I would be really concerned about a wildlife biologist who was not concerned about the fate of wildlife," he said.
In cross-examination, Whitney acknowledged that his retirement as executive director was five years before the firing.
"The board had turned over quite a bit," college lawyer Clarence Bennett said.
"Right," Whitney said.
The former executive director also admitted that Brunsdon's comments about getting rid of Cumberland didn't lead to anything.
"That didn't happen, right?"
"That's right," Whitney said.
Pushed back
In his testimony, Redmond said that he pushed back on the industry criticism.
"If they had problems with his research, they should bring forth those individuals to counter his arguments, moreso than me suppressing his ability to be a scientist and present his information," he said.
Redmond acknowledged during cross-examination that he got complaints from students and other instructors about Cumberland's classroom behaviour when he was the college director.
In one email Cumberland told a student, "Put on your big boy pants and man up."
Redmond said he didn't think that phrase was condescending or inappropriate.
"Not in the culture of our college. I didn't see it as anything out of the ordinary. It's an expression. What we wanted to do is train these students to take responsibility for their own actions. That's just a figure of speech."
Redmond also acknowledged he had posted allegations on a pro-Cumberland Facebook page without knowing whether they were true or not.
He said a post alleging that the forestry industry was stalling the case from going ahead to run Cumberland out of money for his lawyers was based on "my gut feeling, my opinion."
"I still believe what I said," Redmond said.
"You still believe that Mr. Bennett and myself are financed by the forestry industry?"
"I have no idea," Redmond answered.
In another post Redmond implied that delays in the case getting to trial, including a judge's infection with COVID-19, were suspicious.
"In your view is the judge in on this conspiracy as well?" Sullivan asked.
"There's been delay after delay after delay," Redmond said. While some were legitimate, "it just looks strange to me."
Asked if he was willing to say that the posts were untrue, Redmond answered, "I have no idea whether they're true or not."
Sullivan said Redmond had no more solid basis for his claim that Cumberland was fired over glyphosate.
"You don't really know," the lawyer said. "You've got a gut feeling, right?"
Cumberland starts testimony
Cumberland himself began testifying late on Monday.
He said he began researching glyphosate more than a decade ago when he noticed as a Department of Natural Resources biologist that the deer population was increasing near urban areas but not in public forests.
He started attending seminars where glyphosate was discussed and found them one-sided.
"I thought they might present some of the independent research … but there was nothing about that."
After Tim Marshall, the current director and the man who fired Cumberland, took over as executive director of the college in 2017, Cumberland said he told him that he was involved in the spraying issue and there didn't seem to be any concern.
"I assumed that he knew that that was my issue and those were my concerns, and if there was another seminar I would probably be there to ask questions," he said.
Cumberland's testimony will continue Tuesday.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
My company signature even has the following "Any views or opinions expressed in this email are solely those of the author and do not necessarily represent those of the company"
Tell us what years you attended and what classes you were in that Rod Cumberland was your instructor. Also what year did you graduate ? Unable to even find your name in any of their records. Show us proof to back up the validity of your statements. Or are you just another Irving shill.
The worst part is their employees are too scared to speak up too.
You hit the nail on the head. Destroying our environment and biodiversity is just one more casualty of " big business " calling all the shots in our province.
The reality is, it is not about the issue. It is the fact that he had, had complaints about temperament and he may have crossed the line of acceptable use of the college email account.
Curious: How many years did you work for Irving? Be truthful.
Did he distribute and email using the Colleges email address, essentially by the use of it, signifies that his views and the college views are the same. That is what the courts will look at.
And was Rod Cumberland the only person to use an email account " incorrectly " ?
Rod Cumberland was railroaded because his facts and research did not align with
the agenda of Big Business.

Forestry college cuts ties with former director who defended fired instructor
Gerald Redmond believes Rod Cumberland was dismissed for his views on glyphosate

I have known Rod Cumberland for 10 years and have done business with
him for a Tree Removal as well. He is the most honest and hard working
person I have dealt with and I know him as a personal friend. I feel
it is very suspicious that the Forestry College can fire someone for
following their own rules? The Glyphosate issue is the real culprit as
he is against it. When a Company as large and as politically connected
as Irving can have someone fired for no apparent reason it begs to

People's Alliance thrilled Rod Cumberland is candidate for St. Croix by-election
2020-01-08
People’s Alliance thrilled Rod Cumberland is party’s candidate for Saint Croix by-election
(FREDERICTON) - People’s Alliance
January 9, 2020
The
People’s Alliance is excited to announce Rod Cumberland has been chosen
as its candidate for the future Saint Croix by-election.
Mr. Cumberland’s wealth of experience with government and education for nearly three decades makes him the perfect choice to represent the people of Saint Croix.
This well known, highly respected New Brunswick Certified Wildlife Biologist was wrongfully dismissed last June from the Maritime College of Forest Technology for his professional opinions and outspokenness about the negative impacts the herbicide Glyphosate on white-tailed deer populations in recent decades.
Mr. Cumberland is convinced the serious environmental and health risks associated with glyphosate spraying, along with many other riding issues, need exposure in the provincial legislature.
People’s Alliance leader Kris Austin said Mr. Cumberland is the perfect representative for the people of Saint Croix.
“He has shown his willingness to fight for the environment and for the well-being of New Brunswickers by holding the forest industry and the government accountable on how forests are managed. Mr. Cumberland shares the People’s Alliance’s stance on the need to see proper forest management, ensuring wildlife and people’s health are protected,” Mr. Austin said.
Mr. Cumberland has deep roots in Charlotte County. His family still resides in St. Stephen. He wants to work to help local businesses to thrive and to ensure that government no longer bows to corporate influence.
“What makes Rod such a great candidate is that he isn’t a career politician. He isn’t interested in playing political games. He wants to be the representative for the people of Saint Croix to improve the lives of the people who live there and for all New Brunswickers. Rod agreed to become the candidate for the People’s Alliance because its MLAs vote on behalf of their constituents rather than voting along party lines,” Mr. Austin added.
Voting for Mr. Cumberland will ensure the people of Saint Croix have real representation in the legislature. He will add his voice to those of the three People’s Alliance MLAs who are holding government accountable and working to see real change for the betterment of all New Brunswickers.
“Rod has said, ‘Saint Croix needs courageous representation and a professional, but firm, voice to represent (the people) with common sense solutions in government.’ We couldn’t agree more,” Mr. Austin stated.

People’s Alliance tells nursing home workers to leave rally
People's Alliance Party of NB rally in St. Stephen, Jan. 25, 2020. Photo by Sharon Teare.
While Many New Brunswickers are busy watching the process for the impeachment of the American president, some of the most important politics for the province may be happening just slightly north of the US border in Charlotte County as campaigning to elect a member of the provincial government begins.
On Saturday January 25, the People’s Alliance of New Brunswick (PANB) Party held a rally at the Garcelon Civic Center in St. Stephen. The President and Vice President of the New Brunswick Federation of Labour (NBFL) attended the rally with a group of nursing home workers who live in the area.
During the event, NBFL Vice President Kelly Way shared on Facebook that workers were asked to leave the event once upon arrival, then again, a second time, this time recorded on video. The footage shows a speaker for the event announcing that people are outside waiting to get in and “that they ask that the CUPE members would please leave.”
An angry voice behind the camera responded that “the CUPE members are nursing home workers in this community. We are not ‘CUPE members,’ we are nursing home workers.” The speaker looks as though he is going to respond, but then seems to decide not to, and instead stares down at his shoes. Another voice from directly behind the camera (presumably Way herself) adds, “we live here, and we vote here!”
Way clarified later that the PANB managed to expand the room, allowing them to come back. However, as comments on Way’s post point out, the nursing home workers were asked to leave a third time for “repeatedly interrupting speeches.”
Nursing home workers were protesting the rally because of the help PANB gave the Higgs government to pass a Bill that put conditions on the bargaining process and slashed their right to strike. It is widely believed that in exchange for helping, the Higgs government fulfilled a vital PANB platform point, to make it possible for ambulance paramedics to be professionally reclassified.
The result was Bill 17, passed on Dec. 18 with the support of PANB: A Bill that pins workers against each other.
On the way out the door, Way quotes a PANB supporter saying to the rest of the crowd: “Don’t worry, they do NOT matter”.
The Premier has not yet set the date for the by-election, which may be held any time after the March deadline to set the date. Many are speculating that the Premier will call a general election instead. Higgs even warned Conservative voters in the St. Croix riding of the danger of voting for the People’s Alliance. A CBC article published on New Year’s Eve states that the “Premier cautions Saint Croix against splitting vote between PCs and Alliance, ending in possible Liberal win.”
The PC have also selected a candidate, Kathy Bockus. The PANB candidate is former Maritime College of Forest Technology (MCFT) teacher Rod Cumberland who was terminated from his position in June 2019. Cumberland filed a wrongful dismissal lawsuit against the school for allegedly terminating him because of his vocal opposition to the province’s support of spraying the herbicide glyphosate on Crown forest. MCFT has been consistent in describing the behaviors they claim he was terminated for.
These behaviors included (according to CBC): Making disparaging remarks about the college; bullying, harassing and belittling his students; setting the clock ahead and preventing students who arrived late to enter the classroom; and making inappropriate, offensive, sexist and discriminatory comments. The college’s response to Cumberland’s lawsuit says he used the terms “faggy” and “fruity” to describe students in the class.
Cumberland denies these allegations.
Though he has yet to make any solid commitments based on the information about the nursing home workers, Cumberland wrote in a Facebook post early on January 31 that he had just visited the inside of Lincourt Manor (the nursing home in St. Stephen) and that it was “an eye opener” despite his Party’s actions in the Legislature. Cumberland has yet to announce that he would do anything inside the People’s Alliance or the Legislature to help nursing home workers if elected.
[Note: The NB Media Co-op was informed by an authoritative source that a comment attributed to Kris Austin in the original version of the story was in fact made by a PANB supporter. We corrected the story today, Feb 4.]

Forestry professor was fired for harassment and discrimination, college says
Maritime College of Forest Technology alleges Rod Cumberland made sexist remarks and belittled students
Rod Cumberland, who's now a People's Alliance Party candidate for the Saint-Croix byelection, was terminated from his teaching position at the college on June 20, 2019.
Cumberland filed a wrongful dismissal lawsuit against the Maritime College of Forest Technology on Nov. 18, 2019, saying he was fired for expressing his views on the forest industry's use of the herbicide glyphosate.
But a statement of defence from the college, filed Jan. 7, says Cumberland was fired for other reasons, including:
-
Making disparaging remarks about the college.
-
Bullying, harassing and belittling his students.
-
Setting the clock ahead and preventing students who arrived late to enter the classroom.
-
Making inappropriate, offensive, sexist and discriminatory comments. The college's response to Cumberland's lawsuit says he used the terms "faggy" and "fruity" to describe students in the class.
Cumberland denies those allegations in his lawsuit. He says the college did not properly investigate the workplace misconduct allegations against him.
"If it did, the investigation did not meet the most basic standard of procedural fairness," Cumberland's lawsuit says.
Lawyer Response
Cumberland's lawyer said many of the school's allegations are new and were never listed as reasons for his dismissal.
"A lot of these allegations against Mr. Cumberland in our view are completely false and slanderous and have never been raised with Mr. Cumberland at all," said Paul Champ, representing Cumberland. "They're not even referred to in his letter of termination."
Champ argues that because it is the first time those allegations have been brought forward by the school they indicate to him that they were not the reason for Cumberland's firing.
Glyphosate not reason for firing
The forestry school's response to the lawsuit alleges Cumberland began to harass and undermine Gareth Davies, who was appointed to the academic chair position in October 2018, by "constantly questioning his policies, decisions and teaching abilities."
The college alleges Cumberland harassed Davies because he was upset that Davies got the academic chair job over him.
"The plaintiff began a campaign of undermining the authority of Davies by sending his 'concerns' and questioning decisions via email to the entire faculty."
The defence says the emails were "abusive, accusatory and unnecessarily judgmental."
It also alleges Cumberland confiscated his students' personal items, forcefully removed their hats and singled them out in front of the class.
Some of the comments the employer claims Cumberland made in class include comparing abortion to killing animals for management, and saying road-kill meat that's unsafe for human consumption should be given to soup kitchens to "'solve the problem.'"
The college says Cumberland's views on glyphosate were not raised at his termination meeting in June.
Didn't leave immediately
"This is a narrative perpetuated by the plaintiff to avoid responsibility for his offensive and inappropriate behaviour while working for the defendant," say the court documents.
After being told to leave campus immediately once the meeting was over, the college says "the plaintiff did not comply and instead commenced driving around the forestry complex erratically."
Neither the college's nor Cumberland's claims have been tested in court.
Cumberland is seeking $115,442.73 in damages, which he says is equivalent to 14 months reasonable notice of his dismissal. He is also asking for punitive damages, a declaration that his charter rights were violated and to be reinstated as a professor at the college.
Cumberland's lawsuit was filed by Paul Champ of Champ Associates in Ottawa. David W. McMath of McMath law firm in Fredericton is signed on to the document as well.
The college is represented by Stewart McKelvey law firm in Fredericton.
A court date has not been set.
Cumberland began working for the college as a forest operations supervisor in June 2012.
The Maritime College of Forest Technology is located in Fredericton and also has a campus in Bathurst.
"... doctors would not support such a move and would simply decide to leave..."
Are you aware how enriched some doctors have become in NB? This needs some exploring, imo, given the current state of affairs.

In other words, a vast majority of NBers are getting the short end of the stick, and are distorting the entire marketplace by allowing this to continue.
Another interesting point is that the crown lands are managed for maximized profit, not what's best for the overall environment. This means that things like flooding and the effects of chemical sprays are not as high on the priority list as profit. In fact, they don't seem to be on the list.
Also, not on the list is spreading the wealth through jobs/economic opportunities for NBers. Mechanical harvesting doesn't require many ppl, not to mention what clear-cutting does to the landscape.
no one taking credit for this one?
David Coon and the member for Restigouche West tabled the largest petition in the history of the Legislative Assembly with 35,607 signatures asking for the spraying to end;

Friends of Rod Cumberland
Welcome to an update on the court case of Rod Cumberland, former instructor at the Maritime College of Forest Technology in Fredericton, New Brunswick (NB).
Rod was the NB provincial deer biologist and during his tenure found that glyphosate spraying was a major contributor to the declining deer numbers on Crown land. Following an industry-sponsored event in which Rod spoke up on the impacts of glyphosate, he was fired without due process. He is now suing for wrongful dismissal, drawing attention to the damaging effects of glyphosate and how industry and government collude to continue its use.
The Latest on the Court Case:
Rod and lawyer Paul Champ were scheduled to start trial April 4, 2022, almost 2.5 years after filing their lawsuit. A week prior to this, Mr. Champ released 169 pages of documents secured under the federal Access to Information Act, garnering renewed media attention and supportive articles (see Recent Media and Links, p. 2). The buzz was short-lived however, when Rod’s court dates were first shuffled, then postponed four months. The judge had contracted COVID, and has subsequently been removed from the case. The case will now be heard by Chief Justice Tracey DeWare of the Court of Queens Bench, NB and was scheduled to re-start on August 29, 2022. However, the NB court has once again rescheduled the trial, and now it will run Sept 12-14, and then resume to complete on Oct 3-7. Pending any other delays, the Burton NB Courthouse will be open for the public to hear testimony.
While not ideal, the delay provides additional time to raise funds and awareness for this important, potentially precedent-setting case.
Generous donors have already contributed over $50,000 to the legal fund, but the total bill is expected to top $125,000. Even if Rod is successful, the NB legal system only allows him to recover 20% of his legal costs. He won’t accept a settlement or non-disclosure agreement to just go away and be silent. However, the NB legal system continues to reveal many nuances that complicate things for Rod financially.
Rod is fighting this case for all New Brunswicker's concerned about glyphosate’s effect on our health, wildlife and water, for freedom of speech, and for changes at the College. By not settling, and by exposing the close relationship of industry and public officials who run both the College and the controversial spray program at taxpayers’ expense, Rod is sacrificing a lot. He has been black-listed for taking senior officials from the College board to court and forcing them to testify about the truth—about his firing, and about their joint determination to keep spraying.
Please give what you can toward this case. The SupportTeam are volunteers helping raise funds for the case. We need your help before heading back to court this September. Please consider a gift to stand up to those who are determined to poison this province with glyphosate, when so many other jurisdictions have outlawed its use on forests (including Quebec).

Update #3
November 25, 2022
Only one week away from the final week of trial!!
The final stretch of Rod's trial (Lord willing) will be this coming Dec 5-9 at the Burton Courthouse. Rod's lawyer (Paul Champ) will return from Ottawa to call his last witnesses, then the college will call in management to testify, and Paul will cross-examine them. Closing arguments occur on Friday, and then all suspect Chief Justice DeWare will reserve her decision for several weeks/months.
Several pieces of this complicated puzzle you should know for Rod legally/financially:
1. Few people have the financial means to "go the distance" in court. Rod, as most of you likely do, lived paycheck to paycheck. Since his firing, he and his wife Dawn have lived on $500/week for most of the past 3 years, and are eternally grateful for the people who have been so generous to contribute to the legal challenge. They had no savings or means to cover off legal fees.
2. Most of us wrongly assume that if/when Rod wins, the college must pay for all his legal fees for putting Rod through this ordeal - WRONG! Did you know that in NB, how much of the opposing sides legal fees are covered is governed by rule 59? Under this rule, the most that the losing side has historically covered in NB is a whopping 10%!! Therefore, even if Rod wins hands down, unless the judge goes outside of this rule and sets new precedence (not even sure she can do so), Rod is on the hook for 90% of his legal fees.
3. Did you also know that the tax man also wants his share of whatever Rod might be awarded? Yes - as a matter of fact, taxes are applied to most legal awards, and take roughly 30% of whatever salary, etc. is to be compensated.
4. Thankfully, Rod and Dawn raising 4 kids on a hobby farm on one income have learned to live frugally. However, despite this and the generosity of friends, they have had to place some unforseen large purchases on their LOC which over the past 3 years now sits at $30,000. Therefore, from Rod's side of the fence he will have this to pay off, plus his legal fees (estimated at around $130,000).
5. Rod is asking for aggravated and punitive damages in addition to lost wages. This is because of how the firing was done, and what rod claims is poor faith exhibited by the college. In most other Canadian provinces, a case such as Rod's would award someone wrongfully dismissed in this manner close to $500,000! However, looking at all the past cases in NB, most have been awarded a few months salary; in addition, very few have been awarded aggravated damages, and NEVER has anyone been awarded punitive damages. Therefore, this has resulted in these cases in NB never being awarded close to $100,000!
It is because of all the above that every lawyer would advise their clients to take a settlement long before anything goes to trial in New Brunswick. Nearly all settlements offered in NB come with a "gag order" - or the agreement that if settled out of court, the fired employee cannot mention the settlement, or mention any of the details surrounding their dismissal. Are you seeing yet how this game is played in NB?
This is why NB Labor
lawyer Kelly Van Buskirk in his book "Why Employees Sue" concludes that
it is the wise person who takes a settlement, and an employer who offers
a settlement prior to trial. His reasoning? That the employee NEVER
gets what he thinks he deserves, and because the employer will pay out
far more in legal fees going the distance than he will in an early
settlement.
Therefore, we hope you see just how important this case is to the people of New Brunswick. With a strong case such as Rod's, New Brunswick wrongful dismissal lawsuits could get a huge and long overdue overhaul and provide much needed case law to help others wrongfully dismissed. Otherwise, companies will continue to strong-arm employees, firing them at will because few have the means to go the distance, and those who do never receive what they are due.
Update #2 - October 26
October 28, 2022
Although the original dates for completion of Rod's case was October 3-7, 2022, his lawyer, Paul Champ of Ottawa, contracted Covid and could not fly back to New Brunswick to complete the case. Counsel and the defense lawyers met with Chief Justice DeWare and they re-scheduled the court case for December 5-9, 2022.
The first three days of trial were very positive for Rod. He provided evidence on the stand that he did not call students names, nor did he harass them. He also was not insubordinate to his bosses, but was providing as much information and evidence to them as possible to outline his concerns that several decisions by management placed the college, students and instructors in dangerous positions and placed them at liable for allowing drinking at college functions. Rod provided evidence that he remained very professional and reasonable given the compromised working conditions created by college management.
The most striking evidence came as Champ questioned the Director General from NR Canada. Under oath, Peter Fullarton admitted to destroying evidence, a federal offence which is quite problematic for the defense. Further, Dr. Edge, a NR Can researcher who was a key presenter at the seminar that Rod was alleged to be disruptive at, testified that he did not find Rod's questions or behaviour disruptive at all. This was also confirmed by video evidence presented by Champ - which further points to a fabricated narrative that Rod was unprofessional, but rather just sharing a counter perspective opposed to the forest industries use of glyphosate.
Paul
Champ has several more witnesses to call, and then it will be up to the
defense to call their witnesses, likely the Executive Director of MCFT
that fired Rod (Tim Marshall) and his "new" boss at that time, Gareth
Davies.
Please continue to follow the outcome of this very important case that should set a new precedent in New Brunswick for those who have been wrongfully treated and lied about by the forest industry. Professionals should be entitled to present opposing views when supported by sound science - particularly employees of advanced learning where freedom of speech is highly valued and encouraged.
Most significant for Rod was his opportunity to provide evidence at trial in September that clarified that many of the allegations against him, including that he called students names and harrassed them, and that he was insubordinate - were fabricated with the sole intent to slander and damage Rod's reputation.
The last half of the trial will focus on whether the college can authenticate any of the allegations in Rod's letter of dismissal that were never discussed with Rod prior to the firing, if they can provide any evidence he was provided due process, and just how substantial are the damages to Rod if this is indeed the case and the result of undue pressure from the board of Governors to fire Rod amid the lack of due process.
Update #1
September 15, 2022
Hello supporters;
Wanted to provide an update following our first 3 days at trial. On day 1, our lawyer Paul Champ gave his opening arguments and then proceeded to call his first 2 witnesses, two of Rod's former bosses who were Exec. Directors of the college. They made it clear that Rod was a great instructor, solid employee and integral to the college. They also gave testimony to the fact that the forest industry had exerted undue pressure on them to silence and sanction Rod.
Next, Paul Champ called Rod. they went over numerous e-mails and accusations which Rod left little doubt about. He was emphatic - he had NOT called students slurs, this student evaluation came long before Marshall was at the college, was dealt with by Redmond and Rod clarified when he made mistakes was quick to apologize and make things right.
Rod was following the policies as they existed; none had changed. The new director's rule of no drinking was the rule he enforced at a fall camp, However, after an infraction Rod's new boss overturned this rule in favor of the students, causing him the disrespect that continued to the end of the year. When Rod tried to regain some kind of control in his class that resulted from the usurping, the students again whined and complained to the new boss, and once again rules and policies changed mid-term. Rod repeatedly asked for clarity, for meetings, for acknowledgement of other institutions policies and legal advice. Even after his bosses confirmed Rod was right about his liability concerns in these situations, nothing changed.
It was also testified that instructors that had issue with Rod - by their own admission and that of a mediator hired by the college - were over-sensitive and made many wrong assumptions about both Rod and the situation.
Under Cross examination by the college lawyers, Rod clarified that the college ignored meeting with him, despite repeated requests for meetings. There was never any official policy or mission/vision change ever communicated to faculty despite requests for this and talk of impending change. regular faculty meetings ceased, and near impossible demands on his workload made.
With an impending winter camp for students involving high risk activities (helicopter surveys, skidoos, etc.), Rod still needed clarity around the new directive that would have allowed students to consume drugs or alcohol at camp. this was the reason for more forceful emails, not the colleges excuse that Rod was upset about being overlooked for the job.
Despite all this testimony, CBC reporter Jacques Portrais instead continued to attack Rod's character by only reporting on the colleges attacks. He further failed to report that the Director General of NRCan admitted on the stand that he intentionally destroyed evidence from a Right to Information request. The colleges case further eroded when a glyphosate presenter suggested he was not bothered at all by Rod's questions, nor was he disruptive. The only testimony about this came from the Director general, who has an obvious conflict being a member of the school's Board of Governors.
The
case has now recessed until the final 5 days that start October 3-7.
Chief Justice DeWare is presiding over the trial. Another update will
come when the trial is set to resume.

A Canadian hero, standing up to ignorance, big money and pure and simple cowardice. Glyphosate is poisoning our food and through corruption of our universities, "science" is being tainted.

Glyphosate views not a factor in firing of instructors: forestry college
Rod Cumberland, who is outspoken on glyphosate, was fired from the Fredericton-based school in June
Tim Marshall, the college's executive director, said Monday in a three-page statement to CBC News the firing of Rod Cumberland in June came as the result of the wildlife biologist's "abuse of authority" and "disparaging remarks" about the Fredericton-based school and its administration.
The statement from Marshall, who declined to be interviewed, was issued amid calls from provincial politicians for an independent inquiry into the dismissal of two of the publicly funded college's longest-serving instructors.
Cumberland was fired from his teaching role — a move that he said surprised and confused him — on June 20.
On July 3, Gerald Redmond, the former executive director of the college who retired in 2017, told CBC News he believed his former colleague's opposition to glyphosate is likely the "real reason."
Gerald
Redmond, the former executive director of the Maritime College of
Forest Technology, was told by the school his services were no longer
needed the day after he criticized the firing of a well-known
instructor. (CBC)
He said he felt pressure from the board of governors during his tenure as executive director to sanction Cumberland on several occasions for his outspokenness on the controversial herbicide used by the New Brunswick forest industry.
On July 4, Redmond, who had been teaching a few courses through the continuing education program as an independent contractor, was told his "services were no longer needed."
Last week, Green Party Leader David Coon and People's Alliance Leader Kris Austin both called for an inquiry into the matter as well as a broader look at the college's governance.
Austin also alleged a board member who voted to fire Cumberland later applied for and was interviewed for the position.

On Monday, Marshall said board member Andrew Fedora applied for one of two "recently advertised vacancies," but he was not interviewed for Cumberland's open position. He has since withdrawn himself from consideration.
Marshall said the board did not vote on firing Cumberland.
"Those matters are dealt with by the Executive Director," he said.
Fedora confirmed Marshall's statement on Monday but would not comment further.
Reasons for dismissal
The statement does not directly address the calls for an inquiry. Instead, it outlined the college's reasons for cutting ties with the two instructors.
Marshall said the college normally doesn't comment on personnel issues, but felt compelled.
"Because of the rhetoric that has been circulating in the public realm, which contain inaccurate and untruthful information, we have been left with no choice but to comment … to clarify the facts relating to this matter," reads the statement.
It listed several reasons for Cumberland's termination that included:
- Preventing students from attending class because they were late and even adjusting the clock ahead by a few minutes;
- confiscating hats and requiring students to apologize to him in front of the class;
- making "inappropriate and offensive" comments in class;
- engaging in conduct that "constitutes harassment" which damaged the college's reputation;
- undermining the content of a vegetation management seminar approved by the college;
- making disparaging remarks, at the college and in the community, about the school and its administration;
- and failing to adhere to instructions given to him by the academic chair.
"The behaviour of Mr. Cumberland was unacceptable," Marshall said.
The statement went on to accuse Cumberland of abusing his authority — a form of harassment, it said, when the individual harms or interferes with a person's career or studies in a manner that serves "no legitimate work purpose" and ought to be understood as "inappropriate."
Cumberland said in early July he was surprised by the decision to fire him and is unclear on the college's reasons, which were outlined in the dismissal letter.
"It doesn't make sense when you look at it on the surface," he said.
Cumberland could not be immediately reached for comment on Monday.
Glyphosate not a factor, college says
The deer biologist and competitive lumberjack has spent 29 years working for the provincial Department of Natural Resources and the Fredericton-based ranger school.
After leaving government, he began publicly discussing the effects of glyphosate on New Brunswick's forests and, in particular, the deer population.

controversial herbicide used by the New Brunswick forest industry. (CBC)
The college said the reason for Cumberland's termination had nothing to do with his views on glyphosate.
It also accused Redmond of recently disclosing confidential information belonging to the college he obtained while executive director.
The college, originally called the Maritime Forest Ranger School, was established as a co-operative venture of the New Brunswick and Nova Scotia governments and forest industries, according to the college's website.
Its Fredericton campus is on the grounds of the Hugh John Flemming Forestry Centre, also a co-operative venture of government agencies, educational institutions and industry associations.

Forestry college cuts ties with former director who defended fired instructor
Gerald Redmond believes Rod Cumberland was dismissed for his views on glyphosate
The decision comes less than 24 hours after Redmond publicly criticized the dismissal of a well-known instructor at the Fredericton-based college.
Rod Cumberland, a wildlife biologist, was fired on June 20. A letter from the college listed several reasons for the move, but Redmond told CBC News on Wednesday his former colleague's opposition to glyphosate is likely the "real reason."
The following morning, Redmond received a brief letter saying the college was severing ties.
"I wasn't overly surprised," Redmond said Thursday.
Redmond retired after 17 years at the school in 2017, but he had been teaching a few courses through the continuing education program as an independent contractor.
He said he felt pressure from the board of governors during his tenure as executive director to sanction Cumberland on several occasions for his outspokenness on the controversial herbicide used by the New Brunswick forest industry.

On Wednesday, Redmond said Cumberland should be reinstated and he reaffirmed that belief on Thursday.
"You know the college is a wonderful place and it has some really, really good people working there, and I don't want to see them jeopardized either in this controversy," Redmond said.
"But I'm also standing up for someone who I believe in and many, many other people too."
Redmond created a private Facebook Group — called Friends of "Rod Cumberland" — in support of his former colleague. Many graduates posted to the group, calling the firing "outrageous" and questioning the real reasons behind it.
The posts said Cumberland was a teacher who promoted a good work ethic, discipline and punctuality and that he was an ethical, thoughtful and caring instructor.
Calls for investigation
Redmond called on the provincial Department of Post-secondary Education, Training and Labour, which accounts for the majority of the school's funding, to launch a third-party investigation into Cumberland's dismissal. Green Party Leader David Coon made a similar call Wednesday.
The college declined to do an interview but sent a statement that said the reason for Cumberland's termination had nothing to do with his views on glyphosate.

It also accused Redmond of recently disclosing confidential information belonging to the college he obtained while executive director.
"This is a serious breach of his ongoing confidentiality obligations," the statement said. "The confidential information he disclosed was not contained in his comments to the media."
It didn't elaborate further on what the information might be or how Redmond breached his obligations.
Among the accusations against Cumberland listed in the letter are that he prevented students from attending his class because they were late, insisted that they remove their hats in class, and made disparaging remarks in the community about the college, its director and some fellow instructors.
The letter also said he engaged "in communication and a course of conduct, both at MCFT and in the community at large, that constitutes harassment and has caused embarrassment and damage to the reputation of MCFT."
Cumberland said he was surprised by the decision to fire him and is unclear on the college's reasoning.
"It doesn't make sense when you look at it on the surface," he said in an interview Wednesday.
Outspoken on glyphosate
The wildlife biologist and competitive lumberjack has spent 29 years working for the provincial Department of Natural Resources and the college.
After leaving government, he began publicly discussing the effects of glyphosate on New Brunswick's forests and, in particular, the deer population.
The dismissal letter said Cumberland undermined the content of a vegetation management seminar approved by the college. Cumberland said he was accused of deterring students from attending the seminar, adding that was never the case.
'Troublemaking'
Tom Beckley, a professor in the forestry and environmental management department at the University of New Brunswick, has known both Cumberland and Redmond for many years. He said Cumberland sought his advice on what he could and could not say in the classroom.
Beckley said Cumberland knew there could be repercussions with his choice to not self-censor. He said speaking against the status quo in the forestry industry is often seen as "troublemaking" or "advocacy."
But he said debating clashing opinions is part of a post-secondary institution's mandate.

opinions is part of a post-secondary institution's mandate. (CBC)
"I think conversations like that are exactly what we should be doing with our students, not telling them what the right answer is but also not hiding our own opinions," Beckley said.
Cumberland said he encouraged his students "to look at all the science" and critique his views.
"Look at what I'm saying, see if it's true or not," he said. "I think that's a wise thing to do [for] anything in life. Get all the facts before you make a decision."
The college, originally called the Maritime Forest Ranger School, was established as a co-operative venture of the New Brunswick and Nova Scotia governments and forest industries, according to the college's website.

I
have known Rod Cumberland for 10 years and have done business with him
for a Tree Removal as well. He is the most honest and hard working
person I have dealt with and I know him as a personal friend. I feel it
is very suspicious that the Forestry College can fire someone for
following their own rules? The Glyphosate issue is the real culprit as
he is against it. When a Company as large and as politically connected
as Irving can have someone fired for no apparent reason it begs to
question what they are having their teachers teach these impressionable
students. It used to be that truth and honesty counted for something but
this is a blatant abuse of power by a wealthy Company like J.D. Irving.
Just ask Dr. Eilish Cleary who was studying glyphosate when put on
leave, then terminated.

Something
really stinks here. Someone needs to investigate what's happening at
this school. What's the real story? Poisons in our forests and those
exposing it are being fired. Does this lead back to the largest forestry
company in N.B.? Their environmental record isn't the best even though
they advertise themselves as environmentalists.

Since some have taken my earlier comments (on Mr. Cumberland's dismissal) to task by completely misreading what I was actually saying...such is what happens I guess in today's media. I mentioned Mr. Cumberland's "hubris" and those that understood the word's meaning completely misunderstood the context of what I was saying. In fact, I was being ironic and maybe a little sarcastic, but if people reading such submissions would bother to take the time to actually read; not just casually skim such things, there might be better understanding.
My point was and is that Mr. Cumberland and now apparently Mr. Redmond, have lost their jobs because those jobs weren't as important, TO THEM, as their enunciating their very real concerns with the continuing use of forestry chemicals which have been condemned by many other nations. I don't how one does it, but may I suggest to someone who does know, that a "GO FUND ME" (I think that's what they're called) be started to help both men if they wish to seek redress via the courts.

Fired college instructor's views on glyphosate at root of dismissal, says former colleague
Rod Cumberland was fired from the Maritime College of Forest Technology on June 20
A letter from the college outlined multiple reasons for his dismissal on June 20, but a former employee believes Cumberland's outspokenness against glyphosate, a controversial herbicide used by the New Brunswick forest industry, was a factor.
"All I know is I was there and now I'm not, and that's probably the most factual thing I can say right now," Cumberland told CBC News.
Among the accusations against Cumberland listed in the letter are that he prevented students from attending his class because they were late, insisted that they remove their hats in class, and made disparaging remarks in the community about the college, its director and some fellow instructors.
The letter also said he engaged "in communication and a course of conduct, both at MCFT and in the community at large, that constitutes harassment and has caused embarrassment and damage to the reputation of MCFT."
Cumberland said he was surprised by the decision to fire him and is unclear on the college's reasoning.
"It doesn't make sense when you look at it on the surface," he said.
The deer biologist and competitive lumberjack has spent 29 years working for the provincial Department of Natural Resources and the Fredericton-based ranger school.
After leaving government, he began publicly discussing the effects of the herbicide glyphosate on New Brunswick's forests and, in particular, the deer population.
I knew that Rod was vulnerable.
- Gerald Redmond, college's former executive director
The college, originally called the Maritime Forest Ranger School, was established as a co-operative venture of the New Brunswick and Nova Scotia governments and forest industries, according to the college's website.
Its Fredericton campus is on the grounds of the Hugh John Flemming Forestry Centre, also a co-operative venture of government agencies, educational institutions and industry associations.
Deterring students
The dismissal letter said Cumberland undermined the content of a vegetation management seminar approved by the college.
Cumberland said he was accused of deterring students from attending the seminar, adding that was never the case.

Gerald Redmond, the college's former executive director who retired in 2017, said he was pressured during his tenure to reprimand Cumberland.
He said Cumberland's outspokenness against glyphosate is probably the "real reason" why he was fired.
"I knew that Rod was vulnerable," said Redmond, who hired Cumberland twice — once in government and again at the college.
Gerald Redmond believes the 'real reason' for Cumberland's dismissal was his outspokenness on glyphosate. (CBC)
"Because even when I was the executive director, I felt pressure from the board of governors in several instances, to try to sanction Rod for his outspokenness on the glyphosate herbicide."
Redmond said the forest industry does not like what Cumberland says on the issue. He said he should be reinstated.
Statement from the board
The college's board of governors responded to an interview request with a statement Wednesday afternoon that said it will not comment on personnel issues, while reaffirming support for current executive director Tim Marshall.
The board also said it's aware of Redmond's views, saying he "was not involved in the decision in question nor was he privy to the information that led to the decision."
Green Party Leader David Coon said the Department of Post-secondary Education, Training and Labour should launch an internal inquiry into the matter and make the results public.
He said it's another instance in which an institution is not standing up to the "powers that be" — meaning government and the forestry sector, he said. It's not the first time that action has been taken against a scientist who has been outspoken about forestry industry practices, he said.
Green
Party Leader David Coon said the province should investigate
Cumberland's dismissal from the Maritime College of Forest Technology,
which has a Fredericton campus at the Hugh John Flemming Forestry
Centre. (CBC)
"It's clear to me that his dissent is the problem," Coon said.
Redmond also created a private Facebook Group — called Friends of "Rod Cumberland" — in support of his former colleague. Many graduates posted to the group, calling the firing "outrageous" and questioning the real reasons behind it.
The posts said Cumberland was a teacher who promoted a good work ethic, discipline and punctuality and that he was an ethical, thoughtful and caring instructor.
'Court cases being won'
Cumberland said modern, independent studies on glyphosate are producing more evidence that the product can be harmful to animals, including humans. In 2015, the World Health Organization classified the herbicide as "probably carcinogenic to humans."
"There are court cases being won all across North American right now based on a lot of evidence, and I think that evidence speaks for itself," he said.
Bayer, which purchased glyphosate-producer Monsanto, was ordered by a Californian jury in May to pay $2 billion in damages to a couple who alleged the herbicide gave them cancer.
Plaintiffs in two other Californian cases were awarded tens of millions of dollars in damages. The company disputes the allegations that the product can be linked to cancer and is appealing the decisions.
The product is banned in several areas across the globe, including on Crown land in Quebec.
Some residents have complained about the use of glyphyosate on New Brunswick trees. (CBC)
In Canada, separate class-action lawsuits against Bayer and Monsanto have been launched in Saskatchewan and Quebec.
Health Canada says glyphosate is "not genotoxic and is unlikely to pose a human cancer risk."
The New Brunswick government announced a reduction in herbicide spraying earlier this year.

I don't and won't pretend, as some do, that I have the scientific knowledge or expertise to judge whether or not Mr. Cumberland should have been let go, but I strongly suspect that he was a casualty of his own hubris, in thinking that his educated opinion was more important than the opinions (educated or not) of those who decide things like his ongoing employment. The one inadvertent thing that I think IS happening when such firings occur and are publicized is that people, hence voters, become more aware of what is happening, and has been happening, in the forests of New Brunswick. Forestry companies should take note!

It's kind of funny because there is more roundup used on potatoes in this province than all the forestry and NB power combined.
Keep eating those chips and fries though folks. It's also in the cereal that you eat in the morning, the bread you make your sandwich with and corn you have for supper. There is residue in baby food even. But who wants to talk about that.

This from a province with the highest rates of cancer. The new owner of Monsanto and Roundup is paying out thousands of $$$ to persons who have sued the company for being the cause of their cancer. The provincial government says it is reducing the amount of spray. No amount of glyphosate is safe . Even the WHO has come out against this chemical. This chemical is killing people.

Organizer:Miles Howe (902-422-0097), Natascia Lypny (902-266-3678), hmc@mediacoop.ca http://baconfat53.blogspot.ca/ Saturday, July 6, 2013 Is Miles Howe a RCMP Rat? Is Halifax "media co-op" "reporter a real journalist or a propagandist, or perhaps a RCMP rat? Injin "war chief" John Levi is in jail tonight, no doubt some inmate's "fuck buddy." Yet ersatz journalist Miles Howe who claims to be with "big chief" John Levi was not charged. No one actually reads or takes seriously the Halifax media co-op because it is not "media," but merely the shill for "activist causes", NGO's, and social agencies, in short a propaganda organ, akin to Isvestia or Pravda. Here in Alberta the "media co-op," doesn't exist, I wonder why? "By their fruits ye shall know them." Elsipogtog "war chief," and the minute number of Indian "activists" have assaulted innocent work crews, burned seismic vehicles, sawed old growth trees to block roads, blockaded public thoroughfares, and have committee other violent, criminal, and legally defined terrorist acts. And these Indian animals try to pass all this off as "peaceful protest," or "cultural rituals." Preston Manning said many years ago, "if you turn on porch light, you will no doubt attract some bugs. Very few if any decent, or white people are attending these "native protests." But there is always an exception. Social welfare parasite, emotionally disturbed convicted criminal and self described "journalist" Charles Leblanc will, as he says; "will be there." Charles Leblanc "will be there" at the "protests in Kent County this Saturday morning. He will be there not because of any great "journalist" type motives, but merely because there will be a free "pot luck lunch" served. Whenever there is a "free lunch," involved you can count on our "citizen journalist," and self described "activist" Charles Leblanc elbowing everyone to get at the free food. "Potlucks" are where everyone contributes to dinner of lunch. You can count on Charles Leblanc to contribute absolutely nothing, as he is wont to do his entire misspent life. Even his parents had to ban him from the family home, because Charles was still mooching off them in his twenties. Again, "by their fruits ye shall know them." Many of our so called "peaceful protesters have extensive criminal records, are addicts indulging their addictions around the "sacred fire" in the "sacred camp," and drinking "sacred firewater." None of these "native warriors," or "peacekeepers' or concerned about Mother Earth are educated, employed, or are in manner successful individuals. Their goal is to prevent jobs, employment, success, enhance education of children and an escape from that New Brunswick "cultural" traditions....pogey and equalization. These animals and folks like Charles Leblanc do NOT care about "Mother Earth," as much as they care about being fat, idle, ignorant and on the dole. So today, whilst Miles Howe, Charles Leblanc and the rest of the little Indian boys, and squaws dine heartily on food purchase by social welfare...consider this? Who are the rats amongst you? So Wendall Nicholas, how does the new "peacekeeper T shirt fit? Be careful not to slop firewater on it! Pocohontas Amy Sock, baby! How about a nice half and half for thirty bucks?

Need I say that I was not surprised that John Levi like old Billy Lewis did not have the faintest notion as to who I was? To be fair I never heard of either of them until this month. However a simple search on the Internet will easily prove that most of their purported enemies and many of their supposed pals have known exactly who I am for many years. More importantlyy he has had many people around him lately who have been recieving the same emails as the RCMP. Top of the list would be the NDP, David Coon's Green Meanies, the Council of Canadians, the Sierra Club and of course Chucky Leblanc and his media pals in the the CBC CTV and the IRVING crowd. While waiting for a call back from John Levi I pasted together a couple of important emails I sent to John Warr beginning late last year hen I learned he in charge of the jurisdiction where I was born and raised and ran for a seat in Parliament while I was a friend and supporter of the nasty Newfy Byron Prior. Just like Chucky Leblanc, Barry Bachrach, Werner Bock, Mary Ann Hennen, Alex Hunter and several other the Newfy Byron Prior stabbed me in the back after he thought he made a deal to his advantage with some corrupt politicians. Seems that people never learn that cops, lawyers, politicians, bankers, bureaucrats and priests talk of ethical conduct but they are in fact the last people to be trusted. It has been a couple of hours since I called John Levi. He told me he was in a meeting with a bunch of his supporters and that he would call me back. I suggested that he mention my name to his friends and see if any of them admitted to knowing of me. Almost instantly I noticed two hits to the most relevant blog about John Levi's doings. Methinks there are no coincidences. I will not bother him anymore and merely give him the benefit of my doubts. I truly hope that Levi calls me back. However I am not betting on it. People so seldom do. http://thedavidamosrant. A visitor from Canada left "The David Amos Rant: Fwd: Oh Dear Alward and cohorts should be nervous now that the Indians, Greg Renouf, John Bennett, Michel DesNeiges and Maude Barlow have "Issues" with your buddy N'esy Pas Chucky Leblanc?" via justicedonedirtch eap.blogspot.ca 1 hour 51 mins ago A visitor from Canada arrived from google.com and viewed "The David Amos Rant: Fwd: Oh Dear Alward and cohorts should be nervous now that the Indians, Greg Renouf, John Bennett, Michel DesNeiges and Maude Barlow have "Issues" with your buddy N'esy Pas Chucky Leblanc?" 2 hours 4 mins ago Whether John Levi ever calls me back or not at least like old Billy Lewis and the nasty Roger Augustine he now knows that I exist and that amongst our common foes today are two cops from the "Rock" John Warr and his boss Roger Brown. A funny part of our converstion to me was that John Levi said he knew who Leonard Peltier was but did not know Billy Lewis. Levi's answer was he was new to this stuff? Yet Billy Lewis claimed he was at the sacred fire in New Brunswick very recently. Perhaps Levi did not understand me I don't know. I do know for sure Billy Lewis never called me back and Angela Giles suddenly took a vacation. Go Figure. These are just some of their many words that I have read. I bet these people must have read a few of mine sent directly to them after calling them as well. http://canadians.org/media/ "Where is the media?" asks Angela Giles, Atlantic regional organizer with the Council of Canadians. "And how is this democracy? The New Brunswick government has not been given the mandate to move ahead with shale gas development. The RCMP are paid with public money and then are assigned to protect private interests over the interests of the people... This is not right." Billy Lewis, Mi'kmaq elder, also visited and prayed at the Sacred Fire in Elsipogtog yesterday. "This is Indigenous land and there is a duty to consult Mi'kmaq and Maliseet, and they weren't consulted. These actions affect the land, the treaties and all of us." http://rabble.ca/rabbletv/ http://rabble.ca/blogs/ http://kairoshalifax. http://www.cfne.org/modules/ http://nbharbinger.wordpress. http://halifax.mediacoop.ca/ http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/ http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/ http://www.gnb.ca/hrc-cdp/e/d/ http://lefteyex.wordpress.com/ Perhaps the RCMP and anyone else who understands that politicians and lawyers are monumental liars and is truly interested in justice should scrolll down Clearly on May 31st of this year I reminded the two Newfy RCMP bosses that I knew they were they were in my old stomping grounds and I was paying attention as I remindded them about my dongs with their old buddy Byron Prior. You can bet I made many calls and sent many emails before and after thirty some people have needlessly gotten themselves arrested..I suspected that John Warr is the unamed boss in the Irish Town Community Hall. At least no corrupt cop has denied it yet. Trust that the RCMP and legions of others in many countries know my issues with public corruption, the RCMP, banksters and the Greasey Gassy Oily guys go way back in time. The RCMP attacked me LONG before John Levi and his little band of fellow "native warriors" decided to seize a Stantec truck that is used in SWN Resources' shale gas work . At first I thought it comical that John Levi wold pick a fight like that then allow the local RCMP to take the truck and park it at their local cop shop so they could surround it there. However who am I to judge? Nobody has the balls to even say my name. Levi's actions did make the National News byway of a little Pow Wow with the other questionable CROWN Corp known as the CBC and the very next day they had quite a sizable fan club..On the otherhand I have no fans at all who are willing admit in public that I even exist. Yet there are lots of evil trolls on the Internet who are more that willing to harrass slander and threaten my family and I for the benefit of the RCMP and their political puppetmasters and their corporate sponsors etc. Of that I have no doubt. If the RCMP would harass litterly hundreds of their own members and even kill citizens that they puportedly serve and protect why it is unbelievable to think they would attack a whistleblower trying hard to expose their many wrongs? If you doubt me ask John Warr and Roger Brown about Byron Prior and I and laugh as watch the play dumb or run away from you. FYI What I was trying to telll John Levi on the phone is that all any anti fracking protester has to do to make the CROWN stay the charges against them is to simply serve some of my documents on the RCMP. I was telling many others to watch Werner Bock and his UFO arguments with the CROWN this week. I suspect that pigheaded old farmer and newborn Nazi supporter would rather lose his farm than admit I was correct about Byron Prior and their many political friends. Where will his pals be if Bock gets his nasty arse locked up as nut just like it has happened twice before? Trust that I will never come to his defense again but I may sue the CROWN about my cattle. Section 444 is stilll on the books CORRECT? Anyway all of this political bullsit about natural resources reminds me of the actions of AIM and the FBI in Pine Ridge back in the 1970s. Many people wound up MURDERED including a AN ETHICAL Mic Mac lady and now at least one of her daughters is a member of the RCMP. Go figure why I wonder what Anna Mae's daughter thinks as her fellow cops attack her Mother's people in our Native Land instead of the US of A EH? Politically speaking Harper and everybody else want to forget what I said about NaTural Gas, Natural Resources and NAFTA etc when I ran for Parliament in the the area in 2004. Perhaps the RCMP should study a LOTof documents and perpare to argue me while ordinary folks review an IRVING News Rag trying to make fun of my concerns in 2004 N'esy Pas? ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: David Amos <motomaniac333@gmail.com> Date: Fri, 19 Jul 2013 02:13:34 -0300 Subject: Re Potash and the boss of BHP Billiton, Mr Harper and a host of Green Meanies versus Mean Old me To: nomadicgatherings@gmail.com, markbonokoski@gmail.com, thecos@teksavvy.com, thecos@the-wire.com Cc: David Amos <david.raymond.amos@gmail.com> leader <leader@greenparty.ca> ---- Original Message ----- From: "McKnight, Gisele" McKnight.Gisele@kingscorecord.

I met him last June after he became an independent (not representing any political party) candidate in our federal election that was held June 28. He was a candidate in our constituency of Fundy (now called Fundy-Royal). I wrote a profile story about him, as I did all other candidates. That story appeared in the Kings County Record June 22. A second story, written by one of my reporters, appeared on the same date, which was a report on the candidates' debate held June 18. As I recall David Amos came last of four candidates in the election. The winner got 14,997 votes, while Amos got 358. I have attached the two stories that appeared, as well as a photo taken by reporter Erin Hatfield during the debate. I couldn't find the photo that ran, but this one is very similar.

If your world is all screwed up, rearrange it." The 1979 Trooper song Raise a Little Hell blared on the speakers at the 8th Hussars Sports Center Friday evening as people filed in to watch the Fundy candidates debate the issues. It was an accurate, if unofficial, theme song for the debate. The crowd of over 200 spectators was dwarfed by the huge arena, but as they chose their seats, it was clear the battle lines were drawn. Supporters of Conservative candidate Rob Moore naturally took the blue chairs on the right of the rink floor while John Herron's Liberalswent left. There were splashes of orange, supporters of NDP Pat Hanratty, mixed throughout. Perhaps the loudest applause came from a row towards the back, where supporters of independent candidate David Amos sat."

McKnight/KCR The Unconventional Candidate David Amos Isn't Campaigning For Your Vote, But.... By Gisele McKnight FUNDY--He has a pack of cigarettes in his shirt pocket, a chain on his wallet, a beard at least a foot long, 60 motorcycles and a cell phone that rings to the tune of "Yankee Doodle." "Amos has no intention of actively campaigning. "I didn't appreciate it when they (politicians) pounded on my door interrupting my dinner," he said. "If people are interested, they can call me. I'm not going to drive my opinions down their throats." And he has no campaign budget, nor does he want one. "I won't take any donations," he said. "Just try to give me some. It's not about money. It goes against what I'm fighting about." What he's fighting for is the discussion of issues - tainted blood, the exploitation of the Maritimes' gas and oil reserves and NAFTA, to name a few. "The political issues in the Maritimes involve the three Fs - fishing, farming and forestry, but they forget foreign issues," he said. "I'm death on NAFTA, the back room deals and free trade. I say chuck it (NAFTA) out the window. NAFTA is the North American Free Trade Agreement which allows an easier flow of goods between Canada, the United States and Mexico. Amos disagrees with the idea that a vote for him is a wasted vote. "There are no wasted votes," he said. "I want people like me, especially young people, to pay attention and exercise their right. Don't necessarily vote for me, but vote." ----- Original Message ----- From: "David Amos" <motomaniac333@gmail.com> To: <wuestl@nbnet.nb.ca> Cc: "David Amos" <david.raymond.amos@gmail.com> Sent: Thursday, July 18, 2013 8:39 PM Subject: Mr Wuest i just called from 902 800 0369 Lots of your friends know exactly who I am http://www.cbc.ca/ http://www.nashwaakwatershed.

Northrup made the long-awaited announcement today in Fredericton. The annual allowable cut for softwood, such as spruce, fir and jack pine, is 3.27 million cubic metres, which is the same annual allowable cut as in the 2007-2012 management plan. Northrup said the department's projections show the annual allowable cut for softwood lumber can be maintained at the existing level. "All our information indicates there will be a rapidly growing wood supply beginning around 2030 as these managed stands mature,'' Northrup said. "Until then, we are confident there will be enough wood to at least maintain the softwood AAC at the present level and that is our objective.'' Meanwhile, the Department of Natural Resources is cutting the annual allowable cut for hardwood to 1.41 million cubic metres from 1.77 million cubic metres in the 2007-2012 plan. The 21 per cent reduction will ensure a sustainable hardwood supply in the future, according to the department. "It would be in no one's interest to harvest hardwood species at a level that would require an even larger AAC reduction in the future, the natural resources minister said. "This reduction is necessary and, at the same time, it represents an opportunity for the province's private woodlot sector to sell more wood into the marketplace, which is a top priority for our government.'' Northrup said his forest management plan is "balanced." He said it would help support the environment and maintain jobs in the industry. "It strikes the best balance possible while preserving jobs in rural and northern New Brunswick, where forestry remains a major employer and a $2.7-billion industry," he said. The forest management plan also outlined how: the amount of forested Crown land designated as protected natural areas is increased to eight per cent. 28 per cent of Crown forest is designated as "conservation forest." "non-clearcut harvesting measures" would be implemented. The management plan starts in April 2012 and continues until March 31, 2022. The 10-year plan is double the normal length of the previous forest management plans. Northrup said the recommendation for a longer management plan came from a government-appointed management plan. "The Crown Land Task Force on timber objectives recommended we move to a 10-year planning cycle in order to provide greater certainty on allocation levels as well as commitments to conservation measures,'' Northrup said. The natural resources minister said the longer plan will give more predictability for the forest industry. The Alward government hired two task forces to study Crown land and private land task force. Environmental support David Coon, left, said Natural Resources Minister Bruce Northrup's forest management strategy is an improvement. (CBC) Northrup's plan received some cautious praise from the province's largest environmental group. David Coon, the executive director of the Conservation Council of New Brunswick, said he has concerns with the forest management strategy, but said it is a vast improvement. "The plan they released today is far better than what the industry was lobbying for and it is far better than what the Liberals had proposed when they were they government, he said. "But it is moving in the wrong direction for most New Brunswickers who say their number one priority areas are to protect water and to protect wildlife." Coon said he's concerned about a reduction of deer wintering areas and the size of buffer zones around water courses. The forest, which is set aside for habitat zones and watercourse buffers, will be reduced to 28 per cent from 30.5 per cent, Coon said. Industry concerns Robert Fawcett, the director of forestry relations for J.D. Irving Ltd., said the forest management plan will mean two mills will remain closed. (CBC) Several forest operations in the province have closed in recent months because in the uncertainty of the industry. Robert Fawcett, the director of forestry relations for J.D. Irving Ltd., said its Clair and Deersdale mills will remain closed. He blamed the extended closure on cost uncertainty in the government's plan. He said the company is "really concerned" about the impact on its employees and the communities where its mills operate. "For us at the moment, our mill capital expansions are put on hold, Fawcett said. "We are not going to be able to invest in our facilities today until we hear a more certain number in terms of the wood that is going to be available for those facilities." The closure of the Deersdale mill near Juniper put more than 70 people out of work in October. Another 73 people were put out of work in September when J.D. Irving closed its mill in Clair. The forest industry had been lobbying to make sure the annual allowable cut was not reduced. Last June, J.D. Irving Ltd. organized a petition campaign aimed at provincial politicians that said hundreds of jobs were at stake if the provincial government reduces allowable cuts of some types of trees by 25 per cent. Fawcett said J.D. Irving Ltd. is very concerned about the new standards that are being put in place, which will make it more expensive to cut trees in the province. "We need to be very concerned about the implementation about these new standards that DNR is putting in place by April 1. These new standards will increase the cost of harvesting wood significantly," he said. The new standards will mean younger and smaller trees will be cut, Fawcett said, which will increase the cost to log, transport and then process the trees. http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/ Miramichi mill has plenty of wood, Irving says J.Dr. Irving Ltd. spokeswoman says company is not to blame for mill shutdown By Jacques Poitras, CBC News Posted: Jul 23, 2013 6:50 AM AT J.D. Irving Ltd. is forcefully rejecting suggestions that a shift of some Crown wood to their Chipman mill is to blame for the looming shutdown of a Miramichi sawmill. Irving spokesperson Mary Keith says Miramichi Lumber Products has plenty of its own allocation on Crown lands that it hasn't used. Miramichi Lumber CFO Hal Raper previously told CBC News that the licensee operating the public forests in the Miramichi area, Fornebu, was allowing saw logs to go to JDI, depriving the local mill of that wood. The Miramichi Lumber Products mill announced on Friday it was closing because of a shortage of Crown wood. (CBC) That prompted a strongly-worded statement from Keith, who called the suggestion "absolutely false." "Our company has in fact been working with Miramichi Lumber Products to buy their wood chips and send saw logs to their mill," said Keith. "The allocations are a matter of public record and we are fully compliant." She said Miramichi Lumber "have never harvested the full amount allocated to them" in any of the last four years. The company has not operated year-round in any of the last four years, which may explain why it hasn't used all of its allocation. Forestry firms eye $1B in spending, J.D. Irving Ltd. says Miramichi Lumber Products mill shuts down again Miramichi Lumber said last week it would shut down this Friday, laying off 110 people, because it's only been able to secure 40 per cent of its allocation of wood from publicly-owned forest land. "Everybody wants more wood," Raper said on Monday. "I think the government has to decide what their priority is and who they're going to support." Raper said Fornebu was able to send logs to Irving because the province wasn't enforcing usage standards, which set out how much of the tree can be used for saw logs and how much for stud logs. 'All the allocated users are getting their allocation today as the government dictates.'--Fornebu CEO Kevin Jewett For the second straight day, the Department of Natural Resources has not made anyone available to respond to Raper's comments or to clarify the complex rules surrounding the use of Crown land. Fornebu CEO Kevin Jewett also rejected Raper's allegations, saying Miramichi Lumber is free to cut the wood it needs. "All the allocated users are getting their allocation today as the government dictates," he said. "So J.D. Irving is getting the wood they have the right to take, and MLPI, Hal Raper's mill, has been given access to the wood that they have the right to take." Miramichi Mayor Gerry Cormier told CBC News that cabinet minister Robert Trevors, a Miramichi-area MLA, has promised a fix that will keep Miramichi Lumber running for four to five weeks. But Cormier could not say where the wood supply will come from. "You'd have to ask the minister." Irving demand for wood supply Mary Keith, a J.D. Irving Ltd. vice-president, said the company is not receiving more wood than it should be from Crown licence. (CBC) Raper's comments came as J.D. Irving Ltd. continued its ongoing push to get the province to commit to increasing the Crown wood supply for industry over a longer term. Last year, Natural Resources Minister Bruce Northrup announced he was keeping the annual allowable softwood cut at the same level. He also doubled the normal management plan from five years to 10, to give companies more predictability. Irving says that's an improvement, but it doesn't go far enough. Keith said it doesn't provide "the long-term certainty of wood supply to warrant hundreds of millions of dollars of investment. "We need to know the government is interested and is working to grow the wood supply." Keith says JDI is one of several forestry companies prepared to invest a total of almost $1 billion in its facilities, but only if the wood supply is secure. She said that would include a major upgrade to the company's Saint John pulp mill. "We need a longer-term view and a longer-term determination of what the timber objectives, what the timber supply is going to be, so we can go forward with investments," Keith said. Green Party Leader David Coon criticized Irving's "unrelenting demand" for more wood, pointing to the looming closure of Miramichi Lumber as a casualty of the company's constant push for growth. "It's not a question of wood supply," Coon said. "It's a question of competition for the wood between the big guys and the independents." http:// Tuesday, July 23, 2013 Leader of the Green Party David Coon explains to Blogger of the Crisis in the Miramichi lumber Market!!!! Here's the News Release from Liberal MLA Bill Fraser!! July 22, 2013 Hon. David Alward Premier - Province of New Brunswick PO Box 6000 Fredericton, NB E3B 5H1 RE: Miramichi Lumber Crown Allocation Dear Mr. Premier, After meeting with officials and employees from Miramichi Lumber on Thursday and Friday of last week, I feel it necessary to ask for your immediate intervention into the dire situation they are facing regarding their crown wood allocation. It is my understanding that the licensee, Fornebu, is not following DNR's utilization standard for saw log allocation. The employees were notified on Wednesday that the mill would be closing effective this Friday July 26th, until the saw log allocation is enforced to the level that will allow the mill to operate. Mr. Premier, that is more than 110 employees facing unemployment in an area that has already been hit hard by job loss. Mr. Premier, in 2010 after you were elected Premier of New Brunswick, you came to Miramichi and said "we have been saying for a long time that the Miramichi wood basket must remain in Miramichi for economic development and job creation. And from day 1 of forming a government we will be completely focused on this with and for the residents of the Miramichi and for the private wood lot owners as well, who must play a part in the future of the region" (as reported in Miramichi Leader). The Miramichi region once had several mills operating, each with adequate access to crown wood and thus, thousands of jobs were sustained. Today we have two mills operating in Miramichi; Arbec and Miramichi Lumber, with one facing a closure. I am at a loss to understand how you can justify the comments you made in 2010 when now, the actions of your government completely contradict your previous position and will in turn force the mill to shut down. It is your government that cannot find enough crown wood in the Miramichi wood basket to sustain these operations. From discussions I have had with stakeholders in the industry, I understand that there is more than enough wood in the Miramichi wood basket to supply the needs of Arbec, Miramichi Lumber and the former plywood mill in Nelson who I have been told are also experiencing difficulty in obtaining enough crown wood to allow them to re-open (under new ownership). The Miramichi region has been hit extremely hard and, Mr. Premier, we simply cannot afford to lose one more job. I am urging you to immediately intervene in this very serious situation to prevent these 110 + employees from unemployment, and leaving our Province in order to provide for their families. If there is anything I can do to assist you in this effort, please, do not hesitate to ask. I am more than willing to work together on this matter to see a resolution that will save jobs and sustain the operations of the Miramichi Lumber Mill. Sincerely, Bill Fraser, MLA - Miramichi Bay Du Vin Official Opposition House Leader Critic - Department of Transportation & Infrastructure / Government Services http://www.workingforest.com/ Fornebu mill in N.B. receives $2.5 M provincial loan July 04, 2011 By: Telegraph-Journal A $2.5 million loan for Fornebu Lumber was approved on June 16, not long before the province announced it would buy Fornebu parent Umoe Solar's Miramichi assets. The loan is listed on the same order-in-council (OIC) document that authorized the government to buy Umoe Solar's assets, although the two do not otherwise appear linked. Business New Brunswick spokeswoman Marie-Josee Groulx said the loan was not linked to negotiations that eventually saw the Umoe purchase price reduced from $17 million to $10.8 million. "It's just on the same OIC," said Groulx, who stated she'd been told by Economic Development Minister Paul Robichaud. "We treat them as two separate entities. Fornebu is its own operating thing, and Umoe was its own case file." The loan will go toward the Bathurst sawmill owned by Fornebu since taking over all of UPM-Kymmene's former New Brunswick properties, including the Miramichi site. It is for a period of six years, and Groulx said the money would be used for a new biomass boiler for the plant, which currently uses more expensive propane for heat. The OIC also authorizes the government to buy up the assets at the site of Umoe Solar's formerly planned polysilicon plant, for a price of up to $17 million. That deal was made in 2009 by the former Liberal government, to come into effect if Umoe Solar had not gone ahead with its planned plant by January 2011. Groulx said at the time of the OIC, June 16, the final deal to knock the price down to $10.8 million hadn't been finalized. "At that point, we were still on the hook for up to $17 million, as part of the original agreement, but they were able to negotiate downwards," she said. Although Umoe Solar is no more, Fornebu continues to manage the enormous Crown License 3 formerly managed by UPM. Miramichi - Bay du Vin MLA Bill Fraser, who was part of the Liberal government that made the $17 million purchase deal, said Fornebu's control of the license was linked to creating jobs in Miramichi. Now that the planned polysilicon plant is no longer a go, he said, Fornebu's management of the license should be revoked. He said the Natural Resources Department should take over managing the license, with Fornebu remaining as a sublicensee. "If Fornebu is creating jobs, and I believe they are, and opportunities in the Miramichi region, and I believe they are, I think that they should continue to use that wood at that site," he said. "But ... they shouldn't be running the entire allocation. That should be immediately taken away." Fraser said he was not made aware of the $17 million purchase deal at the time it was made in 2009, saying that would have been a cabinet decision. He argued the polysilicon plant project failed due to global factors beyond anyone's control, though he said the failure of the NB Power deal made matters worse. He criticized Robichaud for slamming the $17 million purchase agreement as a "bad deal" for taxpayers. "I'm very disappointed in Paul Robichaud, you know, criticizing everything we've done to help the Miramichi." Department of Natural Resources (DNR) spokeswoman Anne Bull Monteith said Fornebu has been the manager of the license since 2009. It is next up for review in March 2012 and does not expire until 2022. When asked about whether Fornebu could have its license revoked, Monteith would only say that was not being considered. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: David Amos <motomaniac333@gmail.com> Date: Thu, 18 Jul 2013 22:47:13 -0300 Subject: EMERA is in constant contact with the regulator the National Energy Board????

Remember our conversation and the four emails I sent you one month before the writ was dropped? It was at about the same time a couple of my enemies in BC Splitting the Sky and Dougy Baby Christie dropped dead. They were followed up not long afterwards by none other than Rotten Ralphy Klein? Does it make me an evil person to be happy that I out lived some of my foes? You should not deny that Rotten Ralphy's Attorney General got the same letter and the same a pile of documents and a CD that all the Canadian Attorney General's received except the Quebecers who turned the Registered US Mail back 10 times but it was NEVER returned to the USA. Methinks the RCMP or their pals in CSIS stole my mail just like they have done before and since. Its rough being a whistleblower. N'esy Pas Mr. Chretien and Mr. Cutler? http://qslspolitics.blogspot. http://www.integritybc.ca/? http://blogs.vancouversun.com/ Now to be fair here is one all the lawyers working for the Yankees Al Gore, Prez Obama and George Soros should review before Birgitta Jonsdotter and her Wikileaks buddies finally read it.. http://www.scribd.com/doc/ Yea I know I am pipe dreaming. I doubt things will change in my lifetime but what is life with fine dreams? History has proven the Sheeple always get the governments they deserve when apathy rules the day. However once they start losing their shirts and have no cake to eat there is always hell to pay and do roll on occasion. Anyone paying attention can see that the stock market is at an artificial high created by the greedy Banksters NOT the economy. Obviously it has nowhere to go but down. Look out when it does. Even old folks who support Harper and Cummins get pissed when they lose another big chunk of their precious pensions. But to hell with us old folks our days taking advantage of this wonderful old old are winding down anyway. What is far worse to me is that methinks the "Powers that Be" may let loose the Dogs of War once again at about the same time the economy crashes. I am not the only soul predicting this but I have been rather outspoken about this since 2002 when the greedy Yankees attacked my little Clan. Te public record of my affairs speaks for itself. If my reasoning is correct all of our children's future will become truly dire indeed. Shame on all you greedy smiling bastards if what I believe comes true. Trust that I will hate being correct but to deny the obvious would make me as foolish as you people. Pipedream or not the rest of this email is a nightmare for any unethical lawyer or cop to read or ignore. Unlike a lawyer or a poltiician I have always trusted my conscience, my logic and my strange gut feelings.just like the honest cops in the movies do. Thus far the senses I was born with have not failed me. So I must confess the I have not lost my faith in my fellow common man yet even though I hold much contempt towarss many low men in high places. My doubts are justifiable but I still have hope especially after watching the black guy named Charles talk about taking a break from munching on his MacDonald's and playing his part help to save three long lost girls in the USA It is guys like him that assure me that we common folk are not all evil people like the wealthy ones amongst us usually are. Charles should run for Congress I suspect he would win by a landslide if a self serving Independent can beat BC's Attorney General in the last election/ If the sneaky lawyer David Eby beats Christy Clark in her own riding it will only serve to further prove my point. Need I say I love how the political parties in BC are creating their own Independent opponents? Too too funny. Seems that they are bringing about "change" byway of their malicious incompetence. History as I said earlier has proven the worm always turns on the smiling bastards. With any luck at all it may happen soon in BC. I know I have done my part to try to bring about change in BC since 2004. I still have so many irons in the fire in so many places to singe some fancy political arses with that it is quite simply unbelievable. For instance with regards to this email pipelines in your neck of the woods I know everyone of you checked out the letters hereto attached but did nothing . Curipusity is a hell of a thing but you are all afraid of Harper Correct? I doubt many of you greedy people know about Lenny Hoyt, Emera and Enbridge or Mr. Jones, his Director Derek Burney within TransCanada versus Mean Old Me. Trust that it would take me only minutes to explain it to anyone with two clues between their ears. In fact I have done so to quite few and still they say and do nothing. Hell the dumb Green Meanies in Canada have understood me since 2004 and still don't care about the shit that went down between Danny Boy Williams and I even after he sues some of them. Go figure? http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/ http://www.transcanada.com/ http://www.state.gov/ Methinks folks should stop listening to greedy lawyers EH? What say you Mr. Plant? If you recall our conversation on March 15th you demanded I wrap things up in a couple of minutes and I promptly did so within 30 seconds or so then I called your friend Elisabeth Graff and her bosses as well. After all your Law Firm has had Hard Copy of my material for nearly a year before you quit politicking as an Attorney General Then Wall Eyed Wally Opal gladly took your job and in turn got his arse kicked out of office by an incredibly stupid Independent whom I talked to as well CORRECT Ms Huntington a former RCMP Security person and Acting-Chief of Staff to the Solicitor General of Canada? What I did not bother telling you Mr. Plant was the the reason I called on lots of people the Ides of March. Scroll down and you will see I caught Harper's minions checking my work that day. Plus I know for a fact the CSE and the RCMP listen to all my calls so why not give them an earful then prove to many others I am paying attention too? Believe it or not not everybody is a afraid of Mr. Harper and many are tired of his antics. I heard through the grapevine that I have gotten some fans amongst the Feds and that maybe someone may use my documents to blow the whistle. Heres hoping that is true. The sooner I get my old Harley back and return to being "Just Dave" I am sure many politicians and lawyers will breath a sigh of relief. Methinks the CROWN and I should write an MOU ASAP and then assist me in asking the the Yankees to settle with as well. What say Mr. Plant? Do you know an old liberal lawyer in YOUR law firm capable of writing a letter to the Prime Minister and making a deal with fellow devil on behalf of a Canadian citizen that they purportedly serve? I do they got this email too and my letter hereto attached. Four of the documents are from the Canadian government one is from a very big cheese and only one is mine Correct? If no no lawyer takes my side rest assured the Green Meanies South of the 49th heavily financed by George Soros/Swartz are about to be enlightened much to the chagrin of Harper and Prez Obama and of course my wife's evil Catholic cousins and their old Yankee buddy John Kerry the current Secretary of the Sad State of Affairs in the US of A. http://www.theinquiry.ca/ http://www.checktheevidence. Such is the way of the world and the life and times of a fierce but ethical political animal. As long as I maintain my Integrity I and tell the truth all day long to anyone I choose to then sit back and watch the "Powers That Be" squirm. Sooner or later somebody will grow some balls and simply say my name in a Parliament or a Congress or in the corporate media. The love of money dictates it. Of that I have no doubt.

I see folks in your neck of the woods checking my work alot lately. No doubt some of it is because of the upcoming election and the doings between me and the Wally Opal and the RCMP back in 2005. However there is the doings between the NEB and I in 2006 but that bullshit only involves mere matters of money and the environment. YOU cannot deny that the Minister of Indian Affairs has had Hard Copy of my concerns since 2004 and THAT involves the Captial Crime known and MURDER. YOUR head office is in Amherst Nova Scotia which well within MY stomping gounds. Thus that is where I will serve you the summons in order to bring the RCMP and your lawyers to Federal Court CORRECT Minister Duncan? Perhaps you should call the RCMP in Amherst Nova Scotia and ask them about the documents and CD I served on them with a witness who has my Durable Power of Attorney in August of 2012 in order to bring everything up to date.

This week was jammed with board meetings for our riding and a massive volunteer appreciation BBQ that we held yesterday. I'm just catching up on messages now. Apropos the information you sent to me, I found it very interesting. In fact, here in Calgary East, I'm planning a series of workshops/public lectures that look at "Corruption in Canada". My policy team and I are meeting this week to discuss the items you sent to me and your case in particular to see what we can do in terms of, at least, bringing some public awareness to this case and other cases of corruption and questionable practices in Canadian governance and government relations with businesses. Do make sure to send us a follow up on what you decide to do, apropos your proposed law suit. I will share the information with my team. As my own follow up question, though, why have you sent me this material as opposed to approaching your local MP and/or Liberal candidate? Surely others would be interested too. I know Ted. He's a great person and he'll be a wonderful MP. Do let me know what transpires on that front. Best of luck in your efforts.

She told me you were heading out to debate that night so I sent you the email with the attachemnt about BHP and Potash Corp so you could embarass some Conservatives as to why Harper stopped the hostile takeover last year but clearly you did not read it in time for the election but there is still a bit of time to stir the pot before the Speech from the Throne in June Anyway to answer your question I am the whistleblower that inspired this hearing in Washington DC before I came home and ran for public office 4 times in Canada between 2004 and 2006 then got stuck here without my wife and kids http://banking.senate.gov/ http://banking.senate.gov/ The first email I sent you had this pdf file attached and Ted got it too. www.checktheevidence.com/pdf/ Veritas Vincit David Raymond Amos P.S.

Unfortunately the line is garbled and all I could hear was your name and a mention of a Senate website site. The rest is mostly garbled for some reason and I can't make out your phone number or the website you were trying to direct me towards. Were you on a cell phone, by chance? It sounds like digital interference on the phone. That said, I have indeed scanned through the emails you sent to me, but I have a number of questions, as the order of the emails is all over the place and it's hard for me to track what happened when and who you were responding to at certain times. I thought that it might be easier for you to come to one of our meetings (i.e. our board meeting on June 1st). We always leave a slot of time for people from the community, like yourself, to talk about issues thought to be important and which we, as Liberals, can talk about. Indeed, as I'm developing a lecture series for Calgary East right now, it might be worthwhile having you succinctly explain the situation and your role in whistleblowing, so that I can grasp the issues at hand. In the meantime, could you email me your number and a link to the website you mentioned. I can start by looking at the site.

May Application to which Document being filed relates: Amended Application of the Plaintiff/Defendant by Counterclaim to maintain an Order restricting publication, to strike portions of the Statement of Defence, strike the Counterclaim in it's entirety, and to refer this proceeding to case management. Statement of purpose in filing: To maintain an Order restricting publication, to strike portions of the Statement of Defence, strike the Counterclaim in its entirety and refer this proceeding to case management. A F F I D A V I T I, Stephen J. May, of the City of St. John's, in the Province of Newfoundland and Labrador, Barrister and Solicitor, make oath and say as follows: THAT I am a Partner in the St. John's office of PATTERSON PALMER solicitors for William Matthews, the Member of Parliament for Random-Burin-St. George's in the Parliament of Canada. THAT Mr. Matthews originally retained Mr. Edward Roberts, Q.C. on or about 30 April 2002 after Mr. Byron Prior, the Defendant/Plaintiff by Counterclaim, had made allegations against Mr. Matthews in a publication called "My Inheritance - The truth - Not Fiction: A Town with a Secret". In that publication, the allegation was made that Mr. Matthews had had sex with a girl who had been prostituted by her mother. That girl was alleged to have been Mr. Prior's sister. THAT upon being retained, Mr. Edward Roberts wrote a letter to Mr. Prior. That letter to Mr. Prior is attached as Exhibit "1" to my Affidavit. THAT subsequent to Mr. Roberts' letter to Mr. Prior, Mr. Roberts received a 1 May 2002 e-mail from Mr. Prior. That e-mail is attached as Exhibit "2". THAT subsequent to Mr. Roberts receipt of the e-mail, Mr. Prior swore an Affidavit acknowledging that what had been said in that publication was false. That Affidavit is attached as Exhibit "3" to my Affidavit. Following Mr. Roberts' receipt of that Affidavit, Mr. Matthews advised that he was satisfied not to pursue the matter any further and our firm closed our file. THAT on or about 25 October 2004, I was retained by Mr. Matthews following his gaining knowledge that a web site, made a series of allegations against him relating to my having sex with a girl of approximately 12 years old through to an approximate age of 15 years old. It also accused him of being a father of one of her children and accused him of having raped that girl. Upon checking the web site I saw that Byron Prior, the Defendant, had been identified as the author of the material on the site. THAT Mr. Matthews instructed me to write Mr. Prior, to remind him of the fact that the allegations had been admitted to being false through a 16 May 2002 Affidavit to advise him of Mr. Matthews' intentions to commence legal proceedings if the comments were not removed from the web site. A copy of my letter to Mr. Prior is attached as Exhibit "4" to this Affidavit. THAT I attach as Exhibit "5" a transcript from a 5 November 2004 voicemail left by David Amos, identified in the voicemail as a friend of Mr. Prior. THAT I attach as Exhibit "6" a portion of a 6 November 2004 e-mail from Mr. Amos. THAT until I received his voicemail and e-mail, I had never heard of Mr. Amos. THAT Mr. Amos has continued to send me e-mail since his 5 November e-mail. Including his 6 November 2004 e-mail, I have received a total of 15 e-mails as of 23 January 2005. All do not address Mr. Matthews' claim or my involvement as Mr. Matthews' solicitor. I attach as Exhibit "7" a portion of a 12 January 2005 e-mail that Mr. Amos sent to me but originally came to my attention through Ms. Lois Skanes whose firm had received a copy. This e-mail followed the service of the Statement of Claim on 11 January 2005 on Mr. Prior. I also attach as Exhibit "8" a copy of a 19 January 2005 e-mail from Mr. Amos. THAT I attach as Exhibit "9" a copy of a 22 November 2004 letter addressed to me from Edward Roberts, the Lieutenant Governor of Newfoundland and Labrador covering a 2 September 2004 letter from Mr. Amos addressed to John Crosbie, Edward Roberts, in his capacity as Lieutenant Governor, Danny Williams, in his capacity as Premier of Newfoundland and Labrador, and Brian F. Furey, President of the Law Society of Newfoundland and Labrador. I requested a copy of this letter from Government House after asking Mr. Roberts if he had received any correspondence from Mr. Amos during his previous representation of Mr. Matthews. He advised me that he received a letter since becoming Lieutenant Governor, portions of which involved his representation of Mr. Matthews. Mr. Roberts' letter also covered his reply to Mr. Amos. THAT I attach as Exhibit "10" an e-mail from Mr. Amos received on Sunday, 23 January 2005. THAT I swear this Affidavit in support of the Application to strike Mr. Prior's counterclaim. SWORN to before me at St. John's, Province of Newfoundland and Labrador this 24th day of January, 2005. Signed by Della Hart STEPHEN J.

Sent: Tuesday, March 22, 2005 2:53 PM Subject: David Amos Hello Lisa, David Amos asked me to contact you. I met him last June after he became an independent (not representing any political party) candidate in our federal election that was held June 28. He was a candidate in our constituency of Fundy (now called Fundy-Royal). I wrote a profile story about him, as I did all other candidates. That story appeared in the Kings County Record June 22. A second story, written by one of my reporters, appeared on the same date, which was a report on the candidates' debate held June 18. As I recall David Amos came last of four candidates in the election. The winner got 14,997 votes, while Amos got 358. I have attached the two stories that appeared, as well as a photo taken by reporter Erin Hatfield during the debate. I couldn't find the photo that ran, but this one is very similar. A1-debate A1-amos,David for MP 24.doc debate 2.JPG Gisele McKnight editor Kings County Record Sussex, New Brunswick Canada 506-433-1070 Raising a Little Hell- Lively Debate Provokes Crowd By Erin Hatfield "If you don't like what you got, why don't you change it? If your world is all screwed up, rearrange it." The 1979 Trooper song Raise a Little Hell blared on the speakers at the 8th Hussars Sports Center Friday evening as people filed in to watch the Fundy candidates debate the issues. It was an accurate, if unofficial, theme song for the debate. The crowd of over 200 spectators was dwarfed by the huge arena, but as they chose their seats, it was clear the battle lines were drawn. Supporters of Conservative candidate Rob Moore naturally took the blue chairs on the right of the rink floor while John Herron's Liberalswent left. There were splashes of orange, supporters of NDP Pat Hanratty, mixed throughout. Perhaps the loudest applause came from a row towards the back, where supporters of independent candidate David Amos sat. The debate was moderated by Leo Melanson of CJCW Radio and was organized by the Sussex Valley Jaycees. Candidates wereasked a barrage of questions bypanelists Gisele McKnight of the Kings County Record and Lisa Spencer of CJCW. Staying true to party platforms for the most part, candidates responded to questions about the gun registry, same sex marriage, the exodus of young people from the Maritimes and regulated gas prices. Herron and Moore were clear competitors,constantly challenging each other on their answers and criticizing eachothers' party leaders. Hanratty flew under the radar, giving short, concise responses to the questions while Amos provided some food for thought and a bit of comic relief with quirky answers. "I was raised with a gun," Amos said in response to the question of thenational gun registry. "Nobody's getting mine and I'm not paying 10 cents for it." Herron, a Progressive Conservative MP turned Liberal, veered from his party'splatform with regard to gun control. "It was ill advised but well intentioned," Herron said. "No matter what side of the house I am on, I'm voting against it." Pat Hanratty agreed there were better places for the gun registry dollars to be spent.Recreational hunters shouldn't have been penalized by this gun registry," he said. The gun registry issues provoked the tempers of Herron and Moore. At one point Herron got out of his seat and threw a piece of paper in front of Moore. "Read that," Herron said to Moore, referring to the voting record of Conservative Party leader Steven Harper. According to Herron, Harper voted in favour of the registry on the first and second readings of the bill in 1995. "He voted against it when it counted, at final count," Moore said. "We needa government with courage to register sex offenders rather than register the property of law abiding citizens." The crowd was vocal throughout the evening, with white haired men and women heckling from the Conservative side. "Shut up John," one woman yelled. "How can you talk about selling out?" a man yelled whenHerron spoke about his fear that the Conservatives are selling farmers out. Although the Liberal side was less vocal, Kings East MLA Leroy Armstrong weighed in at one point. "You're out of touch," Armstrong yelled to Moore from the crowd when the debate turned to the cost of post-secondary education. Later in the evening Amos challenged Armstrong to a public debate of their own. "Talk is cheap. Any time, anyplace," Armstrong responded. As the crowd made its way out of the building following the debate, candidates worked the room. They shook hands with well-wishers and fielded questions from spectators-all part of the decision-making process for the June 28 vote. Cutline - David Amos, independent candidate in Fundy, with some of his favourite possessions--motorcycles. McKnight/KCR The Unconventional Candidate David Amos Isn't Campaigning For Your Vote, But.... By Gisele McKnight FUNDY--He has a pack of cigarettes in his shirt pocket, a chain on his wallet, a beard at least a foot long, 60 motorcycles and a cell phone that rings to the tune of "Yankee Doodle." Meet the latest addition to the Fundy ballot--David Amos. The independent candidate lives in Milton, Massachusetts with his wife and two children, but his place of residence does not stop him from running for office in Canada. One has only to be at least 18, a Canadian citizen and not be in jail to meet Elections Canada requirements. When it came time to launch his political crusade, Amos chose his favourite place to do so--Fundy. Amos, 52, is running for political office because of his dissatisfaction with politicians. "I've become aware of much corruption involving our two countries," he said. "The only way to fix corruption is in the political forum." The journey that eventually led Amos to politics began in Sussex in 1987. He woke up one morning disillusioned with life and decided he needed to change his life. "I lost my faith in mankind," he said. "People go through that sometimes in midlife." So Amos, who'd lived in Sussex since 1973, closed his Four Corners motorcycle shop, paid his bills and hit the road with Annie, his 1952 Panhead motorcycle. "Annie and I rode around for awhile (three years, to be exact) experiencing the milk of human kindness," he said. "This is how you renew your faith in mankind - you help anyone you can, you never ask for anything, but you take what they offer." For those three years, they offered food, a place to sleep, odd jobs and conversation all over North America. Since he and Annie stopped wandering, he has married, fathered a son and a daughter and become a house-husband - Mr. Mom, as he calls himself. He also describes himself in far more colourful terms--a motorcyclist rather than a biker, a "fun-loving, free-thinking, pig-headed individual," a "pissed-off Maritimer" rather than an activist, a proud Canadian and a "wild colonial boy." Ironically, the man who is running for office has never voted in his life. "But I have no right to criticize unless I offer my name," he said. "It's alright to bitch in the kitchen, but can you walk the walk?" Amos has no intention of actively campaigning. "I didn't appreciate it when they (politicians) pounded on my door interrupting my dinner," he said. "If people are interested, they can call me. I'm not going to drive my opinions down their throats." And he has no campaign budget, nor does he want one. "I won't take any donations," he said. "Just try to give me some. It's not about money. It goes against what I'm fighting about." What he's fighting for is the discussion of issues - tainted blood, the exploitation of the Maritimes' gas and oil reserves and NAFTA, to name a few. "The political issues in the Maritimes involve the three Fs - fishing, farming and forestry, but they forget foreign issues," he said. "I'm death on NAFTA, the back room deals and free trade. I say chuck it (NAFTA) out the window. NAFTA is the North American Free Trade Agreement which allows an easier flow of goods between Canada, the United States and Mexico. Amos disagrees with the idea that a vote for him is a wasted vote. "There are no wasted votes," he said. "I want people like me, especially young people, to pay attention and exercise their right. Don't necessarily vote for me, but vote." Although...if you're going to vote anyway, Amos would be happy to have your X by his name. "I want people to go into that voting booth, see my name, laugh and say, 'what the hell.'" ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: David Amos <david.raymond.amos@gmail.com> Date: Mon, 17 Oct 2011 18:01:00 -0300 Subject: RE John Conway of the University of Regina and his published opinion of the demise of the NDP In SK To: John.Conway@uregina.ca, voices@operationmaple.com, bwall <bwall@mla.legassembly.sk.ca>, premier <premier@gov.sk.ca>, bboyd@mla.legassembly.sk.ca, pr@potashcorp.com, Podwika@potashcorp.com, fosterd@bennettjones.ca, corporate.relations@ Cc: dwain@saskndp.ca, maritime_malaise <maritime_malaise@yahoo.ca>, Susan.J.Collins@bhpbilliton.

LAWRENCE For Immediate Release - October 4, 2010 PICTOU, NS - Today's decision by the Canada Newfoundland and Labrador Offshore Petroleum Board (CNLOPB) to allow seismic blasting in the Gulf of St. Lawrence was met with shock and concern by a coalition calling for a moratorium on oil and gas development in the Gulf of St. Lawrence. The coalition - made of aboriginal, fishing, and environmental organizations - is calling on municipal, provincial, federal, and aboriginal leaders to act swiftly to halt the testing. "With this decision, the CNLOPB has approved an activity that could damage this entire precious ecosystem," according to Mary Gorman of the Save Our Seas and Shores, "We want this decision reversed immediately, and action taken to allow jurisdictions bordering on the Gulf to have a say in its future." "Seismic testing could start in the next 48 hours, potentially damaging marine mammals like blue whales, and disrupting fish and fisheries. This approval has given oil and gas as a toehold in the Gulf that could lead to full scale drilling," according to Danielle Giroux of the. "Fishermen I work for need more say over protecting the Gulf. We want the CNLOPB's decision reversed immediately." "An oil spill in the Gulf of St. Lawrence would impact fish stocks and coastal communities in Quebec, PEI, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Newfoundland. Moreover, the national importance of this ecosystem must be upheld." says Gretchen Fitzgerald, of the Sierra Club Canada. " Federal laws to protect endangered species and fish habitat recognize the importance of protecting our shared biodiversity and resources. This decision is not reflecting this shared responsibility or concerns expressed by groups around the Gulf." -30- For more information, please contact: Mary Gorman, Save our Seas and Shores, 902-926-2128/mjgorman@ns.

May liked his approach - among other things, he'd brought his wife and two daughters to a potluck supper meeting and assured the group he was there to hear from them, not issue orders. Several years - and, after an interview on a train ride from Toronto to Ottawa -- later, she hired him as the Club's director of atmosphere and energy. He managed environmental education campaigns; was the Club's main spokesperson on air, energy, automotive and climate change issues; prepared fundraising proposals; and wrote position papers and research articles. During this period, Bennett also headed the Climate Action Network, an association of up to 100 environmental, health, labour and faith organizations from 10 provinces and two territories. There, he was also the chief spokesperson, wrote releases and papers, and acted as liaison with government officials, ministers, MPs, their staffs and industry leaders. He did similar work with a successor organization, ClimateforChange.ca. It was then that he was involved in preparing reporters for the federal Conservative government's climate plan. "I figured we had to talk to the media. We had to meet the government head-on, and say what they were doing was going backward. We were very effective." The work "succeeded to the extent that when Stéphane Dion became Liberal leader, the party thought the climate and environment were where they should campaign. They were right; they just did it very badly." A spirit of collaboration Most recently, Bennett was communications director for the Green Party of Canada, including the 2008 campaign in which the Greens, led by May, won nearly a million votes and was the only party to increase its total. "It's a well-rounded background, ranging from activist events to negotiating in the halls of power," Bennett says. "My knowledge covers the spectrum of issues across the country." Bennett's experience has demonstrated the importance of collaborating with other groups and including as many people as possible, and their ideas, in whatever work must be done. That was especially obvious in the creation of the Green Budget Coalition, which analyzed federal budgets in terms of their impact on environmental concerns. ----- Original Message ----- From: David Amos To: Fry.H@parl.gc.ca ; Emerson.D@parl.gc.ca ; Duceppe.G@parl.gc.ca ; letters@proislam.com ; Cummins.J@parl.gc.ca ; Canada@cair-net.org ; dcr618@msn.com ; madd_professor@cox.net ; Iolmisha@cs.com ; derrickcrobinson@gmail.com ; khr909@hotmail.com ; erniemusic2@yahoo.com ; kevin_annett@hotmail.com ; radical@radicalpress.com ; thespur@hotmail.com ; lisah@whooshnet.com ; dougchristie@shaw.ca ; lawald@web.net ; wickedwanda3@adelphia.net ; fbinhct@leo.gov ; info@afi-international.com ; wgoss@smss.com ; landrews@smss.com ; jcrosbie@coxandpalmer.com ; rgfaloon@coxandpalmer.com ; dhashey@coxandpalmer.com ; smay@coxandpalmer.com ; kmccullogh@smss.com ; gpetrie@smss.com ; orakwa@paulcomm.ca ; Kahentinetha2@yahoo.com ; katenies20@yahoo.com ; media@cupw-sttp.org Cc: ceri@shaw.ca ; deanr0032@hotmail.com ; info@politicswatch.com ; Flaherty.J@parl.gc.ca ; Baird.J@parl.gc.ca ; Dewar.P@parl.gc.ca ; McGuinty.D@parl.gc.ca ; Dhalla.R@parl.gc.ca ; Casey.B@parl.gc.ca ; Leblanc.D@parl.gc.ca ; Holland.M@parl.gc.ca ; Hubbard.C@parl.gc.ca ; Martin.Pat@parl.gc.ca ; Guergis.H@parl.gc.ca ; Mark.I@parl.gc.ca ; Turner.G@parl.gc.ca ; Chong.M@parl.gc.ca ; Comuzzi.J@parl.gc.ca ; warren.mcbeath@rcmp-grc.gc.ca ; John.Foran@gnb.ca Sent: Thursday, March 22, 2007 3:15 PM Subject: RE;Budget votes and more War its the same old same old If you forgot scroll down I just talked to Paul Dewar's office for the last time.and spoke to Jamesey Baby once again.

My name is James and I have been asked to send this message onto you from Paul... Dear Mr. Amos, Thank you for informing me of your concerns regarding Canada's role in Afghanistan after February 2007. The NDP voted against this motion because we believe it is the wrong mission for Canada. It does not reflect the peace-making values that Canadians want to see our forces undertake on the world stage. This forced motion essentially ties our aid and development funds to war-making, and we cannot support that. It is quite clear that Harper's Conservatives aren't interested in due diligence. They're interested in dragging us further into a US-style combat role and away from our traditional peace keeping role. Much like the Liberals before them, the Conservatives have failed to tell Canadians: - What the chain of command and control will be for this mission. - What the definition of success will be for our troops. - What our exit strategy will be. Many Canadians have written me wanting answers and it is our duty as representatives of our constituents, to get answers before committing to any new missions overseas. As any soldier knows, time spent on reconnaissance is never wasted. New Democrats recognize that Canada does have a role in assisting Afghanis in rebuilding their country. Afghanistan is the largest recipient of Canadian overseas development aid and we fully support the continuation of that funding - outside of this mission. Thank you again for the time and effort you have taken to share your thoughts with me, and for bringing your opinion on this matter to my attention.

At least I will sleep well with my conscience tonight because I know I have done my very best to stop the nonsense since early 2002 long before the War in Iraq began. None of you deserve to sleep well at all because you all supported Harper's orders to send our people to war even before the 39th Parliament sat this year. As far as I am concerned the blood of four very honourable soldiers can be found on your hands. Shame on all of you for not even bothering to honour our dead by lowering the flag on the Peacetower.

Monday, January 18, 2010Compare and Contrast: Two Ranger SchoolsMichael R.
Bridgen (1), SUNY ESF Ranger School, Wanakena, NY and David McDonald
(2), Maritime College of Forest Technology, Fredericton, NB Introduction: There are about twenty-five colleges in the United States and Canada which offer academic programs in forest technology. Scattered across the continent, each school offers educational programs directed at training technicians for employment in forestry or other natural resource industries. Each school also offers a unique perspective on the industries, molded by the interests and expertise of their faculty members and the regional demands of the profession. The Maritime College of Forest Technology at Fredericton, New Brunswick (prior to 2003 known as the Maritime Forest Ranger School), was established in April 1946, as a co-operative effort of the provincial governments of New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, and the wood-using industries of the two provinces. Its program was originally modeled on the facilities and teaching methods used at the (SUNY ESF) Ranger School in Wanakena, NY. Hans Meissner, RS'31, joined the Maritime Forest Ranger School's faculty in 1947, and became its acting Director in 1948. Unfortunately,
since the creation of the School, there has been little professional
interaction between members of the two faculties. During this past year,
we expressed mutual interest in comparing our programs, perhaps sharing
teaching methodologies, and providing our students with a bit of an
international experience in the classrooms.  The Hugh John Flemming Forestry Centre, Fredericton, NB
At the invitation of, and facilitation by, David McDonald, an instructor of silviculture, botany, biology, and entomology at MCFT, Michael Bridgen, a professor at SUNY ESF Ranger School attended the campus of the MCFT. During the three-day visit (October 19-21, 2009) the guest faculty member had the opportunity to:
 SUNY ESF Ranger School, on the shores of the Oswegatchie River in Wanakena, NY Comparisons between the two schools: * Class size - MCFT enrolls about 50 students in the 1st year. The number of applicants is higher than the College can accept, and many applicants are rejected. By the second year, there are about 30-40 students in the program, the rest having been dismissed from the program. The Wanakena campus currently enrolls 40 to 50 second year students, who have already completed their first year courses at another institution. * Faculty members - MCFT has twelve faculty members, including the Executive Director, titled "instructor" or "field instructor". Faculty members have professional degrees and certifications for their respective professions. Each of the faculty members has had some professional experiences prior to joining the faculty. Some instructors have had formal training in teaching. Like the Wanakena program, most teaching development mostly occurs "on the job". Also
like the Wanakena program, faculty members are very passionate about
their teaching responsibilities, present excellent material using
effective methods, and are personally concerned about the success of
their students. One
significant difference between our two programs is the absence of tenure
at MCFT. Also, the academic ranks at Wanakena range from Instructor to
Professor. In addition to the faculty, MCFT also has a full-time recruitment officer. This individual meets with prospective students in various schools throughout the region, describes the program at MCFT, and encourages good quality students to attend the College. * Location - The MCFT campus is immediately adjacent to Fredericton, the capital of New Brunswick. It is quite literally within walking distance to a Walmart, and much of downtown Fredericton. First-year students are required to live in residence. Second-year students, however, may live off campus if they choose. Social interactions with other colleges or the nearby community are very great. In
contrast, the Wanakena campus is within walking distance of one of the
largest wilderness regions in the eastern United States. Its remoteness
makes it very difficult, if not inadvisable, for students to live
off-campus. Social interactions for our students are highly dependent on
in-house activities provided by the school or by the student class
structure. * School Forest - MCFT has two forest laboratory locations, the Noonan Woodlot and the UNB Forest. The Noonan property is about a twenty-minute drive from campus, while the UNB Forest is immediately adjacent to the College, within walking distance for the students. Neither property is directly owned or controlled by MCFT, making them subject to changing management plans. The UNB property is open to the public, and is undergoing significant land-use changes. This situation contrasts with the Dubuar Forest in Wanakena, which is dedicated to use by Ranger School students and which is under strong management control by the Ranger School faculty. MCFT is currently in negotiations to acquire rights (degree of exclusivity is being negotiated) to a property (referred to as Kingsclear, part of the provincial tree nursery lands) that is being returned to Crown land ownership. * Forest types - The New Brunswick forests are significantly composed of softwoods, principally spruce and fir. Local softwood-dominated industries affect the choices of silviculture and forest management practices. This is in contrast to the forest types and silviculture practices on the Dubuar Forest, which include a balance of natural hardwood silviculture, artificial softwood plantations, and a small percentage of spruce-fir wetland forests. * Facilities - The MCFT campus is associated with the Hugh John Flemming Forestry Centre, which also includes offices for the Canadian Forest Service, the University of New Brunswick's Tweeddale Center for Forest Industrial Research, and the New Brunswick Provincial Department of Natural Resources. Professional contacts are almost "built into" the MCFT program, due to its proximity to other agencies. The ESF Ranger School, by contrast, is the principle user of the Wanakena Campus and Dubuar Forest. At Wanakena, offering the conference and lecture rooms, computer facilities, extra dormitory space, and other facilities to external agencies for their occasional use encourages professional contacts. Additionally, the MCFT campus itself rents office space to the New Brunswick Maple Producers Association, The Tree House (non profit entity that supports environmental education efforts such as Envirothon), Infor which is a provincially funded private land extension service and the New Brunswick Blueberry Association head office. Classroom space - MCFT has two main classrooms, approximately equal in size, which are dedicated for either the first-year students or second-year students. As at Wanakena, lectures are offered during the morning hours to each class, while field labs are held in the afternoon. MCFT also has a number of specialized indoor laboratories, (dendrology; wildlife), approximately twice the capacity of the Wanakena Campus. MCFT has a large-equipment storage facility, similar to Wanakena's Maintenance Shop, housing skidders, other large equipment, chainsaws, brush cutters, herbicide sprayers, etc. This facility, too, is approximately twice the size the one at Wanakena. * Academic program - The main degree offered at MCFT is a "Forest Technologist Diploma (3)", corresponding with the A.A.S. degree offered at Wanakena. Another option which students may pursue is the "Advanced Diploma" in Fish and Wildlife Technology. To complete the Advanced Diploma, students must satisfactory complete requirements for the Forest Technology Diploma AND achieve a minimum grade in a number of fish and wildlife courses, AND complete a Fish and Wildlife practicum during the summer, AND complete a number of certifications offered outside of the College (4). This advanced diploma is earned by completing a body of work above and beyond the work that's expected for a standard diploma. The
Fish and Wildlife degree fits well with the forestry program at MCFT
probably because fisheries (and wildlife) are also major industries in
New Brunswick. As land management practices may have an impact on the
fisheries industry, forest management practices are also regulated for
their effects on fishing and wildlife. This provincial-wide (actually,
regional-wide) interdependence between the forestry industry and the
fishing industry almost necessitates a fish and wildlife Advanced
Diploma. Industries in New York, having a similar mutual dependence, may
include land surveying, recreation, arboriculture, and environmental
conservation. All MCFT students also have to complete a faculty-approved Work Practicum during the summer following their first year. This is a pass-fail requirement. The work requirement for students at Wanakena is built into the academic program and is evaluated as part of the students' grades. MCFT has a very well established, highly respected and extremely successful Continuing Education department. Its original intent was to provide follow up training to graduates of the "old Ranger school". The courses put on by CE are directly in response to the expressed needs of its graduates and their employers. The Wanakena campus does not have a formal continuing education component. MCFT currently has in place an articulation agreement with the University of New Brunswick Faculty of Forestry in Fredericton. By way of this agreement students from MCFT may enter into the four year BScF program at UNB and can receive up to the equivalent of two years of course credits. Each year between 10 and 15 graduates from MCFT continue their studies at UNB. The Wanakena Campus has a similar agreement with SUNY ESF, Department of Forest and Natural Resources Management, in Syracuse, New York. Many FNRM students enter the B.S. program with the expectation of attending the Wanakena Campus as their sophomore-year training. * Alumni structure - There is not a strong alumni organization at MCFT, which greatly contrasts with significant alumni interactions at Wanakena. However, there is a New Brunswick Forest Technicians Association (www.nbfta.org) and a Nova Scotia Forest Technician Association (http://www.nsfta.ca) both of which seem to fit a similar niche. In addition to providing scholarship money and professional contacts for the students, these organizations also serve as mechanisms for continuing education in the Province.
Other than geographic locations, perhaps the most significant difference between these two institutions is in the number of years students attend their respective programs. The SUNY ESF Ranger School program only offers the second year of a two-year program, requiring students to attend another institution as freshmen. MCFT currently offers a two-year program, having both first- and second-year students at its campus. (Prior to 2003, the Maritime Forest Ranger School offered a one-year program, with the additional requirement of a minimum 12 months work experience in forestry.) Now, having had six years experience with a two-year program, MCFT demonstrates how effective a two-year model might also work at Wanakena. Some of the advantages of offering both first- and second-year programs at the same facility are: 1. Greater control of the course contents of the academic curricula (elective courses, for example, supplement material offered in the required courses) 2. Immediate assessment and quality control of course content and presentation (all course instructors engage in discussions of effectiveness and impact on student learning) 3. Reinforcement of basic skills learned during the first year (such as tree identification) with applied field labs held in the second year. 4. Support of the 1st year students from the 2nd year students (2nd year students, knowing how challenging the 1st year was, assist their classmates complete their work) 5. Continuity of traditions and discipline between classes (2nd year students, knowing the discipline from the 1st year, the loss of classmates due to poor grades, etc. expect that the same treatment will be imposed on incoming classes) 6. Continuity of student body leadership 7. Richer professional interactions between 2nd year students and the faculty 8. New student orientation facilitated by 2nd year students 9. Students demonstrate greater pride in the quality of their work, resulting in increased loyalty to the school as alumni.
The visit to the Maritime College of Forest Technology at Fredericton resulted in renewed professional ties between two very similar schools. The visitor was cordially received, both by the faculty and by the students (Go Swamp Donkeys!). It gave us the opportunity to brag about our successes, complain about our problems, and share with each other our thoughts about teaching, the roles of forest technicians (technologists), and other issues affection our professions. A "turn-about-is-fair-play" reciprocal visit will occur later this year when David McDonald visits the Wanakena campus and gets for himself some first-hand experience in comparing institutions. This
was a valuable experience. It resulted in personal development for the
visitors, a greater appreciation of the value of their education by
students, and a stronger perspective for everyone of the role of forest
technology education in the modern professional world.
