Mystery swirls around sudden disappearance of Toronto-area lawyer
Police concerned foul play may be factor in disappearance of 53-year-old Isabella Dan
Multimillion-dollar lawsuits, an abandoned luxury SUV and a sudden lack of communication are all parts of a mystery police are trying to unravel in the disappearance of a Toronto-area lawyer.
Isabella Dan, the 53-year-old owner of a law office in Markham, Ont., hasn't been seen in almost three weeks, leaving her friends and police concerned about her whereabouts.
Police have called the circumstances of Dan's disappearance suspicious and have now turned the case over to York Regional Police's Homicide and Missing Person Unit, CBC Toronto has learned.
"Some information has been brought to the attention of the investigators that led them to believe the circumstances for this particular case is unusual and out of character," York Regional Police Const. Maniva Armstrong told CBC Toronto.
"And the concern is that there is suspicion or the possibility of foul play," she added. Investigators wouldn't share further details.
As the search for Dan continues, CBC Toronto has turned to publicly available financial and court documents that appear to shed some light on her life in the months before she vanished.
Meanwhile, police are once again appealing to the public for help and believe some who knew Dan have not yet come forward.
SUV found outside Markham condo
The last time Dan was seen was the night of March 3 at a condo building in Water Walk Drive and Verclaire Gate close to Highway 7 and Warden Avenue in Markham. The area is humming with construction activity amid a handful of existing highrise condos.
Police believe Dan lived at the building but it's unclear if she was last spotted inside or outside the building
Investigators have also not said where Dan was believed to be going that evening — only that she was wearing a beige coat with fur on the collar and black pants, carrying a red gym bag.
"We know through our investigation that she was an active member at an LA Fitness Gym Club that's also located near the residence," said Armstrong.
The gym is roughly three kilometres from the condo where she was last seen. Investigators are urging anyone who may have known her from the gym to get in touch, Armstrong added.

Armstrong says Dan was reported missing by her colleagues after she failed to show up for meetings and to work.
"As a result of that unusual behaviour it caused a lot of concern for the colleagues," she said.
CBC Toronto reached out to Dan's law office by phone and email, and attempted to reach some of her staff. No response was received.
Police told CBC Toronto a vehicle associated with Dan — a grey Land Rover — was found near the Markham condo but wasn't parked in her building's underground garage. Instead, it was on the street outside the building.
Lien records show Dan signed a four-year lease for the $95,000 vehicle last summer. It's unclear what, if anything, police were able to obtain from the vehicle as part of their investigation.
'It's very concerning'
Dan's disappearance is also raising alarm bells for others who knew her, including one of Dan's friends, who CBC Toronto agreed to identify only by her first name, Julie.
Julie says she first met Dan through her work as a real estate lawyer in 2017 and that the two became friends over the years.
"She is full of life. She's very outgoing ... a very big person in life. I don't think she'd go missing or just pack her stuff and leave like that," said Julie.
The last time she saw Dan was in the fall, she added. "She looked perfectly happy and healthy."

Julie told CBC Toronto Dan's parents live in China and says she's not aware of any other family here. Dan is also unmarried and has no children, she said.
As more time passes, Julie says she's becoming increasingly worried about her friend's wellbeing.
"It's very concerning because it's been more than two weeks, as her friend ... I'm just very concerned for her,'' said Julie.
"I feel like people who are very close to her need to be investigated."
Facing multiple lawsuits at time of disappearance
Public land registry records don't appear to list an Isabella Dan as owning a property in the condo complex where she was last seen.
The records do show Dan sold a $2.75-million home she owned in North York in August of 2022.
Dan is also listed as the current owner of another North York home, which she purchased in September 2020 for $1.06 million. A year later, a second mortgage of $600,000 was placed on the property. The second mortgage appears to be with a private lender.
In all, property records show $1.448M in mortgages are owing on the home.
Property records also show the home has been used as a rental income property.
Dan was facing multiple civil court battles at the time of her disappearance.
She's named in four ongoing cases at Ontario's Superior Court involving allegations of fraudulent mortgages taken out on properties in the Greater Toronto Area. The most recent was filed in December 2022.
"The lawsuits for my client do not allege Dan facilitated, initiated or benefited from the alleged fraud," said Glenn Cohen, a lawyer representing the plaintiff in two of the cases against Dan.
"They plead claims of lawyer's negligence and breach of contract, in that she failed to comply with the terms of the mortgage commitment, in particular regarding title insurance, and failed to advise the client about aspects of the transactions."
None of the claims have been proven in court.
Through her lawyers, Dan has filed statements of defence denying the allegations. The most recent of those statements was filed in October 2022.
Her lawyers told CBC Toronto they could not comment on the ongoing proceedings as the matters are before the courts.
Anyone with any information about Dan's disappearance is being asked to contact York Regional Police
"We do feel there are more people out in our community that know more things about her," said Armstrong.

The anatomy of a stolen home — and how 3 suspects got caught
CBC News has learned exclusive details behind an alleged title fraud in January that led to 3 arrests
It began as a typical phone call for Niroosan (Niro) Vivekanantharajah — someone who found him on Google, asking for his help in closing a home sale.
The Toronto real estate lawyer told CBC News he agreed to work with the clients, who were selling a home in Scarborough. He says they had all the required paperwork and good knowledge of the process.
"To be completely honest — they were perfect clients. They were really well prepared," said Vivekanantharajah, who says they shared with him property tax documents, proof of a vacant home tax declaration and two pieces of identification: an Ontario driver's licence and a permanent resident card. He checked the IDs over a virtual Zoom call, where the client held a driver's licence up to her face. Photos were also submitted to his office for review.
But within the span of a few weeks, those clients would be arrested by Toronto police, accused of executing a sophisticated title fraud to sell a home that did not belong to them. It's a series of events put in place largely by Vivekanantharajah, who became suspicious after a call from the bank.
"I guess I got lucky and I just went with my intuition, but it could have easily happened to me as well."
Vivekanantharajah is sharing his story to alert others about just how easy it is for some to facilitate this kind of fraud. A common thread in every title fraud story that CBC News has covered is the use of fraudulent identification, such as an Ontario driver's licence. Experts say the IDs are becoming more and more advanced — making it increasingly difficult to thwart this kind of fraud.

January by people who claimed they were homeowners looking to sell a
Scarborough property. He became suspicious after the deal closed and
took it upon himself to investigate. (Chris Langenzarde/CBC News )
Sneaking suspicion
Vivekanantharajah's suspicions began after the deal was closed. The single family detached home in Scarborough sold for $840,000 in a private sale and wasn't listed on MLS — the platform used by real estate agents and brokers to share information about properties for sale. The proceeds were then transferred to the alleged fraudster's account.
He says he received a call from the bank where the funds were being held asking for him to verify the identity of his client in order to release the money.
He says the bank employee flagged to him that the account was new, and that this was the first transaction. She also flagged a potential issue with the permanent resident card being used as an ID.
"I couldn't get confirmation that it was fake. They just said 'It's potentially fake, but we're not sure.' "

card used by one of the alleged fraudsters, which is what prompted
Vivekanantharajah to investigate further. (Supplied by Niro Law)
The employee told Vivekanantharajah that if he could verify the client's identity, she would release the funds, but he said he wanted to be completely sure before doing that. So he and his associate made a plan and decided to play detective — by visiting the home that had been sold.
"We just winged it, to be honest." he said. "We didn't even think it was going to work at all."
Vivekanantharajah says the home in question had mail piling up outside, which was the first red flag for him, then he noticed porch door was locked, so he couldn't get in to ring the bell.
"So I'm like, 'How do people knock on the door? How do they even get mail or deliveries?' "
He proceeded to knock on the doors of neighbouring homes, where he met people who gave vague descriptions of the residents that seemed to match the clients he was dealing with.
After he left the area, he received a phone call from the next door neighbour who'd taken one of his business cards. The woman told him the owners were away in China and that she had the keys to the home.

"The second I told her, I'm like: 'Ma'am, I sold this house,' and she's like, 'What do you mean you sold the house?' I'm like, 'It's gone.' "
The neighbours made contact with the homeowners, and Vivekanantharajah was able to confirm that his clients weren't the true owners.
The arrest
Vivekanantharajah, who also practices criminal law, says he alerted the bank to the alleged fraud, and the bank contacted police. He says they worked together to orchestrate a sting operation, which involved getting the alleged fraudsters to the bank in person.
He says he instructed the clients to go to a specific branch in Aurora, Ont., where a plainclothes officer was waiting for them.
"I knew they were desperate enough to go there and it pretty much sold — they went there," said Vivekanantharajah.
Toronto police confirmed the Jan. 27 arrest of three suspects — Xue Wang, Ling Pan and Xing Yu Ling — who are now facing a charge of fraud over $5,000. Wang is also facing charges of possession proceeds obtained by crime over $5,000, launder proceeds of crime, personation with intent to obtain property and utter forged document.
Both the real owners and purchasers of the Scarborough home had title insurance, and Vivekanantharajah says the buyers — who were investors — have received the funds they paid for the home back. The owners, he says, are working on having their name restored to the home's title.

Sophisticated fake IDs
In the recent cases of title fraud CBC News has reported on, a fake ID has been used by the alleged fraudsters — either posing as a renter to obtain access to the home or as the homeowner themselves.
In this case, the photographs on the IDs matched the alleged fraudsters, but the names and addresses matched the true homeowners.
The difficulty, according to experts, is that these types of fake IDs are only becoming more and more advanced.
"It is absolutely incredible how these IDs are identical replicas of an original," said Daniela DeTommaso, the president of FCT Insurance, one of Canada's four title insurance companies. She is tasked with remediating title fraud.

The trouble, she says, is that in many cases, even if someone checks the driver's licence number using the province's free online checker, it can come back as valid.
"In most of the frauds that we're seeing the driver's licence is in fact active, it just does not belong to the person that it's supposed to belong to," said DeTommaso.
"Throughout the COVID pandemic we saw an explosion in frauds using what I call synthetic IDs," said Det. Const. John Armit with the anti-rackets branch of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP).
He says while much of that growth included fake IDs used in fraud involving CERB and auto-financing, they are popping up in real estate fraud.
"They have devices like printers and they use card stock and they create a fake identification," he said.
"We've also seen through our investigations that these fraudsters will have perhaps a hologram or features that would be included in various different government identifications."

Provincial Police says fake IDs are becoming more sophisticated. (Patrick Louiseize/Radio-Canada)
The problem is, once a fraudster has a good fake ID, Armit says it can allow them access to other personal information or documents.
"Once you receive someone's compromised identification, the floodgates are open and the opportunities are there for them to get credit cards or get credit."
Hard lessons
While Vivekanantharajah is being commended by DeTommaso and Armit for his actions, the alleged fraud still doesn't sit well with him.
"I took it to heart because I think I'm a decent real estate lawyer — to the point where I actually train lawyers. So I didn't like that it happened to me."

a virtual call the alleged fraudster had with one of
Vivekanantharajah's associates, she held up a driver's licence and
permanent resident card that matched the name of the real owner of the
Scarborough home. (Supplied by Niro Law)
He says he worked as a bouncer for years before becoming a lawyer, and with that he's even more surprised he wasn't able to catch the forgery. He says he doesn't blame other lawyers who would have gone along with releasing the funds.
"So imagine: my job is to check ID on the regular for 11 years, and then even as a lawyer ... I still didn't catch it."
The three suspects, Xue Wang, Ling Pan and Xing Yu Ling, are set to appear in court on March 24.

How organized crime has mortgaged or sold at least 30 GTA homes without owners' knowledge
Future of title insurance could be at risk if this real estate fraud trend continues
"We were told to move on, get over it," she said.
But earlier this month a Toronto police press release revealed another case where scammers successfully sold a house before the real homeowners found out what happened.
And now it turns out those two cases are likely just the tip of the iceberg.
CBC Toronto has learned that a handful of organized crime groups are behind these real-estate frauds — in which at least 30 homes in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) have either been sold or mortgaged without the real owners' knowledge. Those revelations come from a private investigation firm working for a title insurance company to try and get to the bottom of the scams, which are costing insurers millions in claims.
"It's a very painstaking process to try and understand who's behind it," said Brian King, president and CEO of King International Advisory Group.
"We're sort of aware of four or five loosely organized groups that are working in the GTA."
The firm is currently investigating four title transfer frauds across the GTA where the ownership of a home was stolen using identity theft to cash in on the sale of the property. And at least another 26 mortgage frauds where mortgages have been registered on a home without the owner's consent to obtain the cash value of the mortgage.
Melissa
Walsh, whose great uncle's Toronto home was listed for sale last year
after someone impersonated him, says at the time police told her family
they were the only people who had experienced the fraud. (Submitted by Melissa Walsh)
"Hearing that this has happened to potentially over 30 other families is hard to wrap your head around," said Walsh. "I don't understand why this hasn't been discussed before this point."
In addition to the four claims King is investigating, the three other title insurers offering coverage in Canada told CBC Toronto they've also all received fraud claims where a homeowner's property was sold without their knowledge. However they couldn't provide specific numbers before publication.
Karen Decker, senior vice president for Stewart Title, said the company has had "many more than one" case of a house being sold out from under the real homeowner in the Toronto area.
How the scheme typically works
So how does this actually happen? King says an organized crime group starts by looking through publicly available property records for a home without a mortgage — or a small one where there's still a lot of equity left in the property — as a target.
From there, the groups who ultimately receive the fraudulent funds use stolen IDs and hire "stand-ins" to pose as tenants to gain access to the home, and other "stand-ins" impersonate homeowners to mortgage or sell it.
"A lot of times they're petty criminals that are paid anywhere from $5,000 to $10,000 to stand-in and pose as the homeowners," said King. "The people behind the frauds do not want to be front-facing."
Earlier
this month, the Toronto Police Service put out a press release seeking
the public's help identifying this man and woman wanted in connection
with a title fraud investigation. (Toronto Police Service handout)
The stand-ins, like the pair Toronto police were trying to identify through a press release earlier this month, are also being shared between crime groups, according to King, depending on the ethnicity of the person needed to impersonate the homeowner.
After that, the mortgage or sale happens quickly. For the sales, the fake homeowners often accept the first reasonable offer they get.
"In most instances, [they're] very sophisticated people, the money is moved out of the fraudulent bank accounts usually within seven days," said King.
"It'll get changed fairly quickly either into cryptocurrency and moved about, or into gold bullion, and quite often it'll be shipped overseas immediately out of reach of the authorities here."
CBC Toronto reached out to Toronto police multiple times for comment, but no one was available to speak on its title fraud cases.
King says these cases pose a challenge for police because the organized crime groups can have several properties on the go at once across multiple jurisdictions.

private investigation firm is aware of 'four or five' organized crime
groups committing title frauds across the GTA. (Farrah Merali/CBC)
"In an ideal world, we would have some way of co-ordinating these efforts amongst the various regional and municipal police departments so that they get visibility and the links can be made," he said.
King's firm tries to trace where the fraudulent mortgage or home sale funds go for clients, and says they've been successful in getting money back in some cases. But frequently title insurance companies don't find out about the fraud until it's too late.
Future of title insurance could be at risk
In most of these cases, the real owner and the buyer are protected from most of the losses incurred through the fraud by having title insurance.
The insurance protects homeowners from fraudulent claims on their property and pays for legal expenses to re-establish the homeowner's title rights. If a buyer unwittingly buys a home that's been fraudulently listed, the insurance should also protect them. In cases like that, the true owner will likely get their home back and the unwitting buyer will get their money back.
But with title transfer and mortgage fraud claims skyrocketing, title insurer John Rider worries about the sustainability of providing this coverage in the long-term.

Rider, senior vice president of Chicago Title Insurance Company in
Canada, is worried that if these mortgage and title frauds continue to
grow, insurers eventually won't be able to provide this coverage to
consumers. (Farrah Merali/CBC)
"We went from zero of those claims to now many dozens," said Rider, senior vice president of Chicago Title Insurance Company in Canada.
"There's four title companies in the business in Canada and we estimate that industry wide, it's easily $200 million, probably more, in fraud claims in the last two-and-a-half years."
Chicago Title Insurance Company has received more than 80 mortgage fraud claims since late 2019 — largely from the GTA and Greater Vancouver Area. The other three title insurers shared similar concerns with CBC Toronto — about a growing number of mortgage and title transfer frauds in recent years.
"We're seeing a level of sophistication in that area that we've never seen before," said Daniela DeTommaso, president of title insurance company FCT. "It's very organized."
Rider wants to see the government step up and lead the way on bolstering ID verification standards for professionals — so they don't just rely on IDs — in these kinds of transactions.
"Otherwise [the government]'s going to find that they're going to have a lot of consumers at their doorstep begging for help because they've lost title to their homes," he said.

In addition, King volunteers pro-bono working for the Association in Defence of the Wrongly Convicted. He has been involved in high-profile criminal cases involving miscarriages of justice, including the wrongful convictions of Steven Truscott and Robert Baltovich, both of whom have since had their murder cases overturned.
Throughout his career King has developed excellent relations with investigators internationally. His business travels have included the Far East, Singapore, Great Britain, Ireland, Northern Africa, U.S., Cuba and Mexico.

Hey Gypsy just in case you think I am joking about Mikey Allen and the
Alliance Realty dudes in Moncton and the Cendant Corp dudes in New
Jersey who read my work in your blog quite often, I figured I would
expand on things a little bit for the benefit of my fellow common man
who pays taxes and and the mortgage on his home in good faith that the
bankers and government are ethical and won't screw him out of house
and home the first chance they get if you have the power to embarass
them. It happened to me and it can happen to anyone.
To stay on topic in this blog here is a little bit of what your MP
Mikey Allen knew about mean old me as soon as he got elected in 2006.
Hell I even discussed this crap with him on the phone after the
election and he asked what he could do. I demanded that he uphold his
oath as a parliamentarian and uphold the laws that the smiling
bastards make then I went to Woodsock and stuck some documents and CD
under his door to prove to him I am a man of my word and that his boss
Stevey Boy Harper was a crook. A bunch of kids in the computer access
place right next door to Allen's office watched me do it after I
explained some shit to them and they had told me that the new Neo Con
government had cut the funding and they were about to be shut down.
Hell I even said it in Youtube the day after I did it.

Rest assured that the New Brunswick Real Estate Association learned
last year what their overseer the Minister of Justice of New Brunswick
knew I knew about their business over four years ago. The crooks in

How to protect yourself from real-estate title fraud
Title fraud involves stealing a homeowner's identity to refinance or sell home without them knowing
Yesterday, CBC News reported on a Toronto family that was able to thwart an attempted scam where someone used fake identification to pose as the 95-year-old homeowner and convinced real estate agents to list the home for sale without the family's knowledge or permission.
The case resembles an ongoing Toronto police investigation, in which police say two homeowners left Canada for work in January 2022 only to learn months later that their property had been sold without their knowledge by people using fake identification.
So, what is title fraud and how can you prevent it from happening?
What is title fraud?
Title fraud takes place when a person uses fake identification or forged documents to steal the identity of a homeowner and take away their "title," or legal ownership of a property.
Once fraudsters have their hands on a property's title, they can re-mortgage it, sell it to an unsuspecting buyer, or extract value from it in some other way and make away with the proceeds.
Homeowners often don't learn about what's happened until they receive notice of missed payments or they try to sell, title insurance company First Canadian Title (FCT) says on its website.
It can take considerable time, money and effort to deal with having to restore your title and/or remove any fraudulently registered mortgages.
- First Canadian Title insurance company
Victims of title fraud lose the right to mortgage their home, can no longer leverage the equity and can't sell the property until they re-establish their title rights through the courts, according to FCT.
"It can take considerable time, money and effort to deal with having to restore your title and/or remove any fraudulently registered mortgages," FCT writes on its website.
Morris Cooper, a civil litigation lawyer in Toronto who successfully argued a landmark case in 2006 that shifted the responsibility for title fraud from victims to lending institutions, said seniors and people who rent out their homes to tenants can be at a high risk of title fraud.
But homeowners can take steps to protect themselves.
Take steps to protect your identity
Stealing a person's identity is often the first step in title fraud.
Government-issued identity documents, including driver's licences, passports, birth certificates, social insurance number (SIN) cards and citizenship cards, can all be used to apply for mortgages or to take steps to buy or sell a home.
The Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre offers the following tips for preventing identity theft:
- Be wary of who you share personal information with.
- Regularly check credit card reports, bank and credit card statements and report anything irregular.
- Shred documents containing personal information before placing them in the garbage.
- Limit mail theft by regularly retrieving mail.
- Notify the post office, financial institutions and other service providers of your new address when you move.

and woman, pictured here, who allegedly used fake identification to sell
a home they didn't own. (Toronto Police Service handout)

Get title insurance
Title insurance is an insurance policy that protects property owners and their lenders against losses related to the property's title or ownership, including from title fraud, according to the Financial Services Regulatory Authority of Ontario (FSRAO).
While it can't prevent you from becoming a victim of fraud, it is the single most important thing to mitigate its consequences.

homeowners from the consequences of real-estate title fraud. (Shawn
Benjamin/CBC)
"Title insurance will step in and save you in a situation like this," said Varun Sriskana, a realtor, property manager and housing advocate based in Toronto. "It protects you in case someone defrauds you."
Title insurance can cover legal expenses incurred by homeowners seeking to restore their right to their property's title, according to FCT.
It protects homeowners from fraudulent claims on their property and pays for legal expenses to re-establish the homeowner's title rights.
WATCH | Mortgage and title fraud 'nothing new,' Toronto real estate agent says:
If a buyer unwittingly buys a home that's been fraudulently listed, the insurance should also protect them. In cases like that, the true owner will likely get their home back and the unwitting buyer will get their money back.
Know who you're dealing with
People on both sides of a real-estate transaction should make sure they're comfortable with the identity of the person on the other side of the deal, said Stephen Moranis, past president of the Toronto Regional Real Estate Board.
That means potential tenants should ensure the landlord actually owns the property, while landlords should check references and request documents like credit scores to verify potential tenants, Moranis said.
"Either side should be very, very careful to verify and ensure that the other party they're dealing with is actually in a position, a legal position, to either lease or or sell the property that they're considering," said Moranis.
Murtaza Haider, a professor of data science and real estate management at Toronto Metropolitan University, said he spoke to neighbours the last time he was looking to purchase a home, asking them about the property and the current owners in a search for potential red flags.
Simply Googling a person's name and cross-checking social media photos can also help turn up any irregularities, Haider said.
Preventing title fraud by renters
Homeowners who rent their homes to tenants could be at a higher risk of fraud because the tenants have physical access to the home.
Landlords should take steps to make sure that documents containing personal information like driver's licence renewal applications or tax returns don't fall into the wrong hands, Haider said.
"Make sure that your mail stays with you. Make sure that you have a forwarding address," said Haider. "Make sure that they don't end up in the hands of people that you don't want other than yourself."

digital and physical mail to make sure their personal information
doesn't get into the wrong hands. (Doug Husby/CBC)
Haider said homeowners can also search for their property online from time to time to see if it's being inappropriately listed for sale or on a rental website like AirBnB.
"It's always good to be checking the address, checking it at various locations on the internet to see your property is being used for for the intended use," Haider said.
Landlords should also rely on banking information, rather than cash payments, as that adds another layer of due diligence, Haider said.
The Ontario government also provides a free, online tool that allows any member of the public to check the validity and current status of a driver's licence. Driver's licence numbers that come up as invalid could be a red flag.
Court gives woman home back in rare ruling reversal
A Toronto woman who lost her home to identity fraudsters has won it back after Ontario's highest court reversed its own decision on a previous case.
Five Court of Appeal judges unanimously ruled Tuesday in favour of Susan Lawrence, a 55-year-old homeowner who lost her home just over a year ago.
The court declared Lawrence the legal owner of her home and ordered a company that had issued the mortgage to fraudsters to pay $25,000 toward Lawrence's legal costs.
Lawrence discovered her house had been stolen last January when she tried to sell it and buy a new one.
"I put for sale sign on my house. I sold it. I had a long closing date and when I went to buy a new one, I was told I didn't own the house I had," she said.
'Ferocious' outcry
Thieves had forged her signature to obtain a nearly $300,000 mortgage on her 100-year-old Victorian home.
In a previous ruling, ajudge restored the title to Lawrence's name, but would not absolve her of the phoney mortgage in her name.
The court was bound by a 2005 Court of Appeal decision, Household Realty vs. Liu, that stated fraudulent mortgages were legally binding once registered.
Public response to the case was "very, very ferocious," said Lawrence, and her lawyer, Morris Cooper, saidthat may have contributed to the unusual reversal.
Cooper says it'svery rare for the Appeals Court to reverse any decision, especially such a recent one.
After a lengthy legal battle, Lawrence is already looking forward to her next challenge — finding the thieves.
"That's my next job," she said. "I'm going to harass the police detectives, that's what I can do."

It's happened again. 2nd Toronto home listed for sale without homeowner's knowledge
Like recent case Toronto police are investigating, fraudster impersonated homeowner
The family had turned to a local Royal LePage brokerage where two real estate agents helped them find and screen tenants to rent the house located just off Queen Street East near Kew Gardens in The Beach neighbourhood starting in December 2021.
That began a chain of events that Walsh describes as "the ultimate real estate nightmare."
The family later learned the tenants chosen had used fake identity documents and bogus references on their lease application, and Walsh said police eventually referred to them as "ghosts" after trying to locate them.
What's more, just weeks after the lease agreement was signed, the family found out that someone posing as the 95-year-old homeowner had hired two different real estate agents from another Royal LePage brokerage to list the house for sale without the family's knowledge or permission.
The home was staged with furniture, advertised online for $1.29 million and quickly generated a flurry of offers, Walsh said. One came in at $1.9 million.
"I can't even form words to describe that moment at that time because it's just so unbelievably out there," Walsh said. "You're going, 'What happened? What's going on?'"
Melissa
Walsh, whose great uncle's Toronto home was listed for sale last year
after someone impersonated him, says the incident raises questions about
whether the real estate industry does enough to verify the identities
of the people they work with. (Submitted by Melissa Walsh)
Walsh's family was able to put an end to the attempted scam before the house could be fraudulently sold, but the case bears a striking resemblance to an investigation the Toronto Police Service (TPS) asked for the public's help with last week, in which another family wasn't so lucky.
In that case, police say two homeowners left Canada for work in January 2022 — the same month Walsh's great uncle's home was listed for sale — only to learn months later that their property had been sold without their knowledge by people using fake identification.
In an email viewed by CBC News, a TPS detective in the force's financial crimes unit who is investigating told Walsh the two cases are "related." Walsh said the detective subsequently told her the fake name used by the male tenant who rented her great uncle's home was also used in the TPS case.
CBC News is not identifying the names of the fraudulent tenants as doing so may identify the victims of identity theft.
"At first, we thought it was mostly just a handful of real estate agents that weren't doing their job, but then after hearing about this other house, I think there's definitely a deeper problem with the real estate industry," Walsh said.
Over the past year, CBC News has reported on numerous allegations of fake identifications and other documents being used to rent homes and take out fraudulent mortgages, but these attempted home thefts appear to take real estate fraud to an alarming new level.
Walsh
says she was shocked when her family learned her great uncle's home was
listed for sale, and that two listing agents they had never hired had
been granted access to the home to stage it with furniture. (Submitted by Melissa Walsh)
Red flags
Walsh said the two cases raise questions about whether real estate agents in the multibillion dollar industry are doing enough to verify the identities of potential tenants, homesellers and homebuyers.
In her family's case, she said documentation provided by the tenants and the person impersonating her great uncle contained several red flags that the agents should have picked up on, beginning with the fact that the person impersonating Walsh's great uncle spelled his name wrong twice when signing documents.
When screening the two potential tenants, the agents collected photocopies of their driver's licences, contact information for their employers and personal references, and credit history checks.
The companies listed as employers had very little online presence, including no website.
When CBC called the phone numbers, those given for the employers were out of service, as was one of the personal references. The second personal reference appeared to be a wrong number.
CBC News also ran the three driver's licence numbers through the Ontario government's free driver's licence check tool.
A
man and a woman provided these driver's licences when applying to rent
the home. When CBC News checked the validity of the licence numbers
using a free online tool, both came back as unrecognized. (CBC)
The two licences provided by the tenants on their lease application came up as "not found," meaning they were not recognized Ontario driver's licence numbers. The licence number provided by the person impersonating the 95-year-old homeowner on his listing application came back as "not valid," meaning it had been suspended, cancelled or expired.
It's unclear whether any of the agents involved ever called the references and, if they did, what response they received. It's also unclear whether they checked the validity of the driver's licences, or what the status of the licences would have been in November 2021 or January 2022, respectively.
'A coordinated scheme'
In a statement, a spokesperson for Royal LePage said it doesn't govern day-to-day operations at its brokerages, which are all independently owned and operated. But licensed sales representatives are obligated to abide by industry regulations and to perform due diligence as laid out by the regulating body.
"This very unfortunate incident was clearly a coordinated scheme aiming to take advantage of real estate professionals and an innocent family," communications director Anne-Elise Cugliari Allegritti wrote.
"The Royal LePage agents in question followed all due protocol and had no reason to suspect that any suspicious activity had taken place."
According to the Real Estate Council of Ontario (RECO), the industry regulator, both provincial and federal legislation requires real estate professionals to confirm the identity of all individuals, including buyers and sellers, involved in a real estate transaction.
"The most common [method] would be to rely on government-issued photo identification to assure themselves of the identity of the person they are dealing with," RECO said in an email.
"Also, the local public land registry information about the owners of every property within the municipality, which ought to be confirmed before engaging to sell a property, is readily available to agents."
Federal guidance documents that RECO identified as the industry standard tell agents they can determine whether a person's government-issued ID is "authentic, valid and current" by viewing it in the presence of the person being identified and analyzing its characteristics and security features.
Identification can also be verified without the person physically present by using a scanned version paired with a live video chat or photo of the person being identified, according to the guidance.
ID rules too lax, realtor says
Varun Sriskanda, a realtor, property manager and housing policy advocate who was not involved in either fraudulent incident, said these requirements are too lax to prevent identity theft, mortgage fraud and title fraud.
"We only collect one piece of government-issued ID. That means that the fraudster only needs to forge one piece of government-issued ID," said Sriskanda.
"All you need is to convince your realtor that you are that person standing in front of them and that that identity document is yours. After that, that house goes on MLS."
Sriskanda said provincial rules should change to require agents to check at least two different pieces of ID to make it more difficult for fraudsters to dupe agents — something he said he already does as a matter of practice.
Realtor

check more than one government-issued ID when verifying the identity of
clients involved in real estate transactions. (Shawn Benjamin/CBC)
Morris Cooper, a civil litigation lawyer in Toronto who successfully argued a landmark case of mortgage fraud in 2006, said the onus shouldn't be on agents.
"They're salespeople. They get paid if the sale closes, and they don't get paid if it doesn't," Morris said. "The gatekeepers are really the real estate lawyers who handle the transaction of the purchase and sale, and they are obliged to satisfy themselves as to the identity of their clients in all cases."
Walsh said her family's experience has shaken her faith in the real estate industry.
"At the end of the day, you just kind of assume that these people are doing their jobs, that there are those regulatory bodies that have these rules to follow to make sure that nobody is getting their properties sold from beneath them, but clearly those systems aren't in place," she said.

Mom, daughter face homelessness after buying home and tenant refuses to leave
Elsie Kalu lost job, seeking shelters, and begging Landlord Tenant Board for hearing
An Ottawa homeowner says she and her daughter could soon be homeless because they can't move into the townhouse she bought in April due to a tenant who refuses to leave — and she blames the Ontario government for failing her family.
Elsie Kalu says the ordeal led to her losing her job, plus she is now at risk of getting kicked out of her rental and faces threats of foreclosure — losing her property to the mortgage lender. She is begging Ontario's Landlord and Tenant Board (LTB) to grant her a hearing so she can state her case to evict her tenant and finally move into the home she bought.
"Why would the government allow another person to take everything from one person? It's like robbing the poor to pay the poor," said Kalu, standing outside of the home she hasn't entered since buying it.
"It can't be right. I cannot provide social services for another citizen. I'm not rich enough."
It's like robbing the poor to pay the poor.
- Elsie Kalu, Homeowner
Kalu became a small landlord when she purchased a townhome in the city's eastern suburb of Orléans.
Small landlords — those who typically own just one or two rental units — can become homeless when a tenant refuses to pay rent and leave a space the landlord needs for their own accommodations.
CBC previously spoke to landlords who were homeless due to major delays in getting a hearing and eviction order from the LTB — the body that makes decisions for disputes between landlords and tenants.
Kalu moved across the river from Gatineau, Que., to Ottawa in 2021 to access better health-care services for her daughter, who has autism.
She bought the townhome sight unseen during the pandemic real estate boom through a real estate wholesaler, which buys and sells off-market homes at below-market value, and avoids realtor fees — a risky move, she acknowledged in hindsight.

from the Ontario Landlord and Tenant Board to hear her case to evict
the tenant and occupant. (Francis Ferland/CBC)
It was only after signing the purchase agreement in January, Kalu said, when she found out she had an unco-operative tenant and a male occupant.
Kalu closed on the home in April but says she's received no rent so far, and has started a file with the LTB about this.
CBC has tried to contact the two occupants.
When a reporter knocked on their door, which was barricaded from inside with plastic boxes, they did not answer and shut their curtain as music blared from inside the home.
A lawyer representing them said Kalu should go through the LTB "if she believes that she is actually owed rent."
No job, no money for daughter's therapy
The LTB has a service standard to schedule hearings within 25 business days. An update this July says it should take seven to eight months.
Kalu filed an eviction application to the LTB in May.
Since then, she's trying to fork out more than $5,000 a month for the home she's currently renting, and utilities, plus the mortgage, condo fees, and property taxes for her Orléans home.
According to her LTB submission, Kalu lost her job this August as a financial adviser, which required her to pass a regular credit score check. She's been taking out loans and racking up her credit card debt, so her score didn't meet her company threshold.
"I'm just sinking ... Financially, it has wrecked me," said Kalu. "This has ruined me emotionally and mentally."

family owns and wants to move into. She says her daughter, though
enrolled, isn't able to attend the school near this home nor access
speech therapy. (Francis Ferland/CBC)
The submission goes on to say Kalu's four-year-old daughter was diagnosed with autism last year, but still can't attend the school near the new home, which promised to provide her a speech therapist and other resources.
For the past three months, Kalu said she stopped critical therapy for her daughter because she can't afford it.
Denied expedited hearing, foreclosure threat
Then earlier this month, Kalu's lender sent her an email indicating it would consider legal action should she miss another mortgage payment this December.
"So if the LTB doesn't help me ... everything I've worked for, all that I've invested, I could just lose it," she said.
Kalu's current landlord also issued her a notice to end her tenancy for missing one month's rent.
Kalu says she's called three local shelters — one that had a wait list of two years, and the others said they can't accept her until she's actually homeless.
"So basically, 'we cannot help you until the day you'll be really ending up in the gutter,'" said Kalu.
Kalu holds a document from the LTB, denying her an expedited hearing,
citing her issues aren't urgent enough. (Francis Ferland/CBC)
Kalu's paralegal filed a request to expedite her hearing. The LTB refused in September saying the case isn't urgent enough, according to its threshold.
"I'm frustrated, I'm outraged, I'm angry and I'm sad," said Kalu. "They can't stay forever because I can't [continue to] pay [the] mortgage and be homeless, and that's what's about to happen now."
"My daughter can't end up on the streets. I cannot end up on the streets ... I need my home."
Tenant silent, lawyer responds
Kalu gave her tenant an N12 notice this April — a form under Ontario's Residential and Tenancies Act to notify tenants about a landlord's intention to move in. She's also served the tenant multiple N4 notices for non-payment.
Lawyer Michael Thiele, who represents the tenant and the male occupant, said in an email that his clients have "the right to occupy the premises for an indefinite period of time."
"Everyone knows how inflation has caused rents to skyrocket. Affordability is a huge problem. Moving onto the street is not an option," Thiele wrote.
When asked why the tenant hasn't paid rent, Thiele suggested Kalu take it up with the LTB "if she believes that she is actually owed rent," but didn't elaborate or provide proof of payment when CBC followed up.
Kalu has a separate application open with the LTB for the tenant's non-payment of rent.
WATCH | Kalu tries to enter her home for the 5th time with CBC Ottawa:
According to Kalu's submission, the occupants refused to let her inspect the home four times despite 24-hour notices — by posting doctor's letters on their door citing COVID concerns stating they're unvaccinated.
Thiele responded to this stating the household is "entitled to protect themselves."
A landlord can enter a rental unit after giving 24-hour notice to carry out an inspection to see if it's in good repair, to carry out repairs, or for "any other reasonable reason" set out in the lease, according to the Residential Tenancies Act.
The occupants also refused to let an appraiser in to appraise the home, the LTB submission states, so Kalu couldn't get financing with her bank — forcing her to delay the closing and use a private lender with an 8.99 per cent interest rate and two per cent lender fee.
"The rights of entry are stipulated in the Residential Tenancies Act. This is not one of them," Thiele wrote. "Why should a tenant allow a landlord to enter a property to snoop around? This is the tenant's home and arguing that the tenant should open her door to the whims of the landlord disregards the fact that a person has the right to privacy in their home. The tenant doesn't need a reason to refuse. The landlord needs a legal reason to enter — the difference is significant."
The Act states a landlord can enter to allow a potential mortgagee or insurer to view the unit.
Kalu's LTB submission also states an occupant told her "the house is dilapidated," but refused to allow tradespeople she hired to enter.
Thiele said his client disagrees with this characterization, and said the tenant may file against Kalu at the LTB for the condition of the house, citing rent abatement.

quarantining. (Submitted by Elsie Kalu)
Kalu said in her submission that the first time she met the tenant and the male occupant, they closed the garage door on her and her daughter's head.
In response, Thiele said tenants may have the right "to repel trespassers who refuse to leave" and said landlords can call police should they feel they have been wronged.
CBC asked the LTB for submissions or responses filed by the tenant in relation to Kalu's eviction and non-payment applications, but the LTB said it found none.WATCH | Small landlords advocate talks possible solutions for LTB backlog:
CBC spoke with the previous landlord who said he's rented the home to the tenant for about a decade.
He said he began having issues with the two occupants just before the pandemic, when he notified them he wanted to sell the home after getting diagnosed with cancer.
The former landlord said the LTB had failed him, too, as he never made it through an eviction hearing after applying for one.
Who's responsible for failing landlords?
"My anger to [the tenant] is limited, but my anger to the government, my anger to LTB, that is the part that really drives me crazy," said Kalu.
"They should not let this happen."
In an email to CBC, Ontario's Landlord Tenant Board blames the Ontario government's temporary moratorium pausing eviction hearings from March to August 2020 for its longer-than-average wait times and backlog. It's working to modernize operations and hire more staff to help go through the backlog, a spokesperson wrote.
It says, as of Sept. 30, there were 36 full-time and 47 part-time adjudicators at the LTB.
The LTB would not answer whether the board was responsible for failing small landlords, redirecting the question to the Ontario Attorney General's office. That office declined to comment.
When asked who could compensate small landlords who have become homeless, forfeited their homes, and lost thousands of dollars in arrears due to LTB delays, the tribunal referred CBC to Ontario's Housing Ministry.
When asked whether there are discussions to create separate considerations for small landlords in the Residential Tenancies Act, which advocates say is allowing some to fall through the cracks, the LTB again referred CBC to the Housing Ministry.
The Housing ministry also didn't answer those questions directly, but said it's committed to the well-being of Ontarians, continuing its work on homeless prevention, and "making sure tenants and landlords are treated fairly."

"This is a cruel and unusual punishment [for Kalu]," said Varun Sriskanda, a board member with Small Ownership Landlords of Ontario, a not-for-profit group for small landlords.
The LTB must fix its backlog as soon as possible, Sriskanda said.
It needs to hire more adjudicators and stop doing hearings virtually, as it's allowed for delays and distractions by those who aren't tech-savvy, he said. The $19 million the Ontario government pledged this year to tribunals won't go far enough, he said.
"It's an absolute mess," said Sriskanda. "It's failing tenants and landlords entirely."

Ontario Increases Funds for Clearing Landlord Tenant Board Backlog
Ottawa Lawyer, Michael Thiele Weighs In on the Announcement
In a recent interview with the Ottawa Citizen, Michael Thiele, an Ottawa lawyer who represents both landlords and tenants, offered his views on the latest announcement by the Ontario government. Attorney General Doug Downey announced that over the next 3 years, Ontario will spend in excess of $19 million to help facilitate faster decisions at the Ontario Land Tribunal and the Landlord and Tenant Board.
Thiele’s perspective is, “More money to make things faster does not mean that things will be fair or reasonable. Fast decisions are worth nothing if they are not fair decisions. Without fair hearings, no decision can be perceived as fair even if the correct decision happens to be made.”
A partner at a leading personal injury law firm, QTMG, Thiele, along with other Ottawa lawyers, is concerned that the province is likely to move hearings online permanently, and this digital process has already proven to be confusing and stressful for all parties.
In many cases, neither the landlords nor their tenants have the required technology or adequate skills to work through cases in a digital environment, he said. When it comes to residential landlord and tenant law, in-person meetings in a pre-pandemic world are the best way to clear backlogs, and this must continue now that the economy has opened up again.
While the province is confident that the infusion of funds will help create more affordable housing by reducing delays at the Landlord and Tenant Board, Thiele’s opinion is that “People are fighting before the board to keep rental housing because they have no place else to go. They are motivated to slow down the process.”

'People are being shown no mercy': Online evictions raise alarm in Ontario
It's 'absurd' to evict people during a health crisis that has left many unable to pay rent, advocate says
A Toronto mother said she struggled to keep up with bills after losing work in the restaurant industry. A Hamilton man behind on rent payments said he was staying in touch with his landlord about his financial situation after being laid off.
"It's COVID, people struggle," he appealed to Landlord and Tenant Board member John Mazzilli during the Dec. 18 block of hearings — all of which involved non-payment of rent.
Similar scenes playing out over the last several weeks have raised concern among Ontario advocates, who say the resumption of evictions in the pandemic's second wave coincides with a shift to online-only hearings that stack the deck against tenants.
"These people are being shown no mercy," Kenn Hale with the Advocacy Centre for Tenants Ontario (ACTO) said in a recent interview. "They're expected to pay and pay now or get out."
Hale, director of advocacy and legal services for ACTO, said it's "absurd" to evict people during a health crisis that has left many unable to pay rent due to lost income.
"It's bad enough in normal times for people to lose their homes and to be treated unfairly in an administrative proceeding. But it can be life or death in the kind of situation we're in now," he said in a recent interview.

people's finances. The group said they had not received a response as of
mid-December. (Cole Burston/The Canadian Press)
Evictions were suspended until late summer, and the Landlord and Tenant Board is now working through a backlog of cases that observers say predated the pandemic and has grown this year as more people lose income.
Tribunals Ontario doesn't keep track of evictions, but according to ACTO, the board heard more than 7,000 cases in November. Ninety-six per cent of those were filed by a landlord against a tenant, the centre said. As of Dec. 14, a total of 4,597 hearings were scheduled for the month.
Hale said the shift to an online-only hearing model has made it harder for tenants to present their circumstances or access legal advice, including through ACTO's duty counsel program.
Lawyers must now introduce themselves to tenants in the virtual session, in front of all other participants, and both need to exit the meeting to speak privately.
Hale said such introductions don't always run smoothly, with lawyers entering "chaotic" hearing situations where they struggle to make themselves heard.
Bill 184 concerns
There's also concern about changes under Bill 184, which became law in the summer. It allows landlords to offer repayment agreements without appearing before the Landlord and Tenant Board, so some tenants are signing on to potentially unreasonable repayment terms without fully understanding their rights, Hale said.
A group of Ontario legal clinics, including ACTO, wrote to Tribunals Ontario in October with proposed guidelines for adjudicators considering evictions cases during the pandemic — including the public health risk and pressures on people's finances.
Hale said the group had not received a response as of mid-December.
The Progressive Conservative government has not yet acted on an Opposition motion supporting a freeze on evictions that passed unanimously this month, days before the legislative assembly adjourned until February.
NDP MPP Suze Morrison, who introduced the motion, said the online hearing format isn't accessible for people with visual impairments or those who don't have stable internet access, among other challenges.
"I'm deeply concerned that there are human rights violations happening here," Morrison said by phone.
A statement from Premier Doug Ford's office this month said the government "is continuing to explore ways to further support Ontarians during this difficult time."
'Digital-first strategy' from Tribunals Ontario
Tribunals Ontario, meanwhile, said it's pursuing "a digital-first strategy to meet the diverse needs of Ontarians and enhance the quality of our dispute resolution services."
It said requests for in-person hearings would be considered on a case-by-case basis to ensure people are accommodated under the Human Rights Code. As of mid-December, Tribunals Ontario had not confirmed if any in-person hearings had been approved.
Sam Nithiananthan, an organizer with People's Defence Toronto, said the online hearings have been a "double-edged sword" in the evictions process, as allies can now tune in and support their neighbours.
Nithiananthan said the crisis has exposed long-standing issues faced by renters in the city, and it's motivated tenants to organize in larger numbers than he'd seen before.
"What has been shifting is tenants are now standing up," he said.
Tenant organizer Bryan Doherty with Keep Your Rent Toronto said his group and others have called for rent relief that goes beyond a moratorium on evictions, arguing that simply pausing evictions would leave cases to pile up.
"We knew that a moratorium at the beginning of the COVID crisis would actually just produce an eviction blitz midway through the crisis, which is what we're seeing now," he said by phone in a mid-December interview.
Rents have long been unaffordable in Ontario's largest city, and Doherty said "COVID kind of threw gasoline on that fire."
He said pressure needs to be applied to landlords and governments to address the housing crisis affecting working-class tenants during the pandemic and beyond.
"I don't think it's going to be the same. The question is whether or not it will be worse or slightly better," he said.
Evictions during pandemic could increase spread of COVID-19: Waterloo region lawyer
196 households faced eviction in Waterloo region between Nov. 24 and Dec. 18
There were 196 households facing eviction hearings in Waterloo region between Nov. 24 and Dec. 18, according to Kristen Thompson, staff lawyer at Waterloo Region Community Legal Services, which provides services for low income community members.
Thompson said the Landlord Tenant Board (LTB) and Court Enforcement Office usually shutter operations over the holidays, but that wasn't the case this year. It has been working through a backlog resulting from the eviction moratorium at the start of the pandemic. That means evictions were enforced over the holidays and during the current lockdown.
"My concern is, as we enter a lockdown, without ensuring that our neighbours have a place to call home, we will see an increase spread of COVID-19. For example, tenants evicted might have to rely on the shelter system or go to crowded homes of friends and family, which would decrease the individuals ability to comply with social distancing directives," said Thompson, noting this could also overburden the shelter system.
Ontario's temporary moratorium on eviction orders was lifted in August.
Reinstate ban
Thompson, along with other advocacy groups and legal clinics in Ontario, is urging the province to reinstate a moratorium on evictions.
"Essentially what I think we need to do is impose another eviction moratorium, so not allow evictions at this point in time and again look to what support government has given to make sure rent is paid," she said.
She said the government must consider increasing funding to local rent banks, providing rent subsidies to market units and increase investment into affordable housing.
Thompson said many people can't afford rent right now, especially during a pandemic that has left many either without work or struggling financially. She said those who continue to receive Canada Recovery Benefit (CRB) or provincial social assistance either cannot afford rent or to enter a repayment plan.
On top of that, Thompson said, some tenants aren't attending their online eviction hearings because they can't access legal assistance or don't have access to technology.
NDP motion passed
Advocates and residents, including those in Toronto, have protested for the ban. The Ontario NDP party has also been outspoken on the issue.
Earlier this month, the legislature unanimously passed a motion put forward by Suze Morrison, NDP tenants rights critic, to ban residential evictions, but a law has not been imposed.
"So many families have lost their job or income through no fault of their own during this horrific pandemic. Yet Doug Ford is showing them no mercy. He refuses to sign an eviction ban into law," said Morrison in an emailed statement to CBC News.
"In communities all over the province, many of these evicted people have no good options. Shelters are full, and it's a dangerous time to apartment hunt, or to crash with friends or family from another household. These evictions are putting people at risk of catching and spreading COVID-19," Morrison added.
When asked by CBC News to respond to calls for another moratorium, the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing highlighted in an emailed statement new measures that were introduced to protect tenants such as the Canada-Ontario Housing benefit, which provides rent assistance.
"We have also invested $510 million through the Social Services Relief Fund into our communities, which is being used toward rent banks and utility banks, and provides emergency loans for those most in need. We encourage those who are struggling to pay their rent to contact their local service manager to see what supports are available to them," the statement read.
Ontario temporarily pauses residential evictions for length of emergency declaration
The move marks the 2nd time the province has paused evictions during COVID-19 pandemic
The province's municipal affairs minister says the pause will ensure people can stay safely in their residences while a stay-at-home order remains in place.
The order, which came into effect today, requires all Ontario residents to stay home as much as possible, only leaving for essential trips.
This is the second time the province has paused residential evictions during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Landlord and Tenant Board will continue to hear eviction applications and issue orders, but the enforcement of eviction orders will be postponed, except in urgent situations — such as for illegal activity.
The government says if tenants can pay their rent, they should continue to do so, or pay as much as possible.
The province declared the state of emergency on Tuesday and said it will stay in place for at least 28 days.

Suze Morrison, the provincial NDP tenant rights critic, criticized Thursday's order saying it still leaves people vulnerable to evictions during the pandemic.
Morrison said the Ford government needs to institute a moratorium on all eviction notices, hearings and orders, as well as the suspension of eviction enforcement by the sheriff for the entire duration of the pandemic.
"Thousands of people in Ontario are at risk of being thrown out of their homes, through no fault of their own, after losing income this year because of COVID-19," said Morrison.
"Calling off the sheriffs at the eleventh hour from enforcing evictions that have already been ordered will not keep folks housed and safe."
The order also has "overly broad exceptions that will still allow eviction enforcement to continue under the new directive," Morrison said, and people have complained that virtual eviction hearings have been rife with procedural unfairness.
"Doug Ford has baked in loopholes you could drive a truck through, allowing any evictions to continue at the discretion of the Landlord and Tenant Board," she said.

Service Standards
Important Notice
July 25, 2022: Over the past two years the Landlord and Tenant Board has experienced significant challenges that have caused us to fall short of meeting our service standards. We are working to catch up but it is taking us longer than usual to process applications, schedule hearings, and issue orders. We are actively working to improve our service timelines and we thank you for your continued patience.
- On average, new and adjourned matters are currently being scheduled within seven to eight months from when they were received or adjourned. A Notice of Hearing will be sent to the parties before the scheduled hearing date.
- On average, orders are being sent approximately 30 days after a hearing related to an L1 or L9 application and approximately 60 days after a hearing for all other application types.
- You can check if a hearing has been scheduled or an order has been issued for your file by visiting the Check File Status page. If your file number begins with “LTB” (e.g. LTB-L-000420-21), you can check your file status by logging into the Tribunals Ontario Portal.
To avoid mailing delays, email the LTB office which is handling your file, and ask that your Notice of Hearing and order be sent by email.
Service Standards
Service excellence is a priority for the LTB. Our service standards keep us focused on providing our clients with fair, effective, and timely dispute resolution.
Applications to evict a tenant for non-payment of rent and for applications to collect rent the tenant owes:
- Applications will be scheduled for a hearing within 25 business days
- Decisions will be issued within 4 business days of the conclusion of the final hearing
All other applications (excluding L5 - Application for an Above Guideline Increase and A4s - Application to Vary the Amount of a Rent Reduction):
- Applications will be scheduled for a hearing within 30 business days
- Decisions will be issued within 10 business days of the conclusion of the final hearing
While the LTB is committed to these service standards, we recognize that every case is different and some decisions take longer to issue than others.
Small Ownership Landlords of Ontario started in the early spring of 2020 as a result of the numerous issues small Ontario Landlords were facing with the Landlord Tenant Board of Ontario. There are many landlord groups on Facebook but the majority are focused on the rental industry. A small group of individual mom and pop landlords began noticing the difficulties landlords were facing with an inefficient and backlogged LTB and decided to start a group on Facebook to offer suggestions, ideas and support.
Unlike big corporate landlords, small landlords often get into the housing rental market to supplement their income by renting out space in their own home, or through the purchase of a first home they plan to live in. Once COVID hit and the provincial government placed a moratorium on evictions, small landlords faced extreme financial hardship as tenants stopped paying rent. Even prior to the moratorium on evictions, the Residential Tenancy Act is complicated, hard to understand and follow and the LTB was already being investigated by the Ombudsmen of Ontario due to the increasingly lengthy delays in obtaining a hearing for anything from damages to property, non rent payments, illegal activities in the rental property etc.
Thus SOLO was born. Our presence has grown to over 2000 members on Facebook and Twitter. We are in the process of being registered as a not for profit organization. We meet monthly by video conferencing and have been working on the following activities:
Meeting with the Landlord Tenant Board Executives
We are planning to meet the LTB’s executives on Thursday October 29th, 2020. We are intending to present evidence that 1) the hearing schedule is still slow and not following first in first out 2) we have extreme cases that need attention 3) educate the LTB on the impact the delays are having on landlords well being 4) any general question you – SOLO members want – us to ask by sending it to solo@soloontario.ca .
Note that we are very fortunate to have this “high level access” so we will try to keep the communication frank and respectful. We will not push an individual agenda, but we will come with suggestions to speed up the process and bring fairness which I am sure the LTB itself will be interested to hear. We will not be going there only to complain but we will offer practical solutions.
Meeting the MP Housing Minister
A letter was sent to the PM for a virtual meeting to discuss our issues namely asking for financial relief due to the eviction ban and LTB closure. We have been directed to the minister of housing as this is under his jurisdiction for our demands.
SOLO member Ruby is also pursuing to reschedule a meeting with the Housing Minister’s Parliamentary Assistant, MPP Gill after the last minute cancellation earlier this month We will continue to pursue until we get a proper hearing with the political branch to ask for compensation.
Outreach with Law Enforcement
We are in the process of approaching the Law Enforcement across the province to try to get some understanding on the apparent lack of consistency when police are intervening with landlords / tenants issues that fall outside the RTA. A draft letter has been prepared and we will keep you updated.
If anyone has any suggestion or contact within the Law Enforcement outreach we will be more than glad to talk to them. Just send an email to solo@soloontario.ca .
Writing to local MPP’s and the Ombudsmen of Ontario
We encourage our members to write and call their local MPP and the Ombudsmen to advocate for change. The length of time for a hearing is closing in on 9 months and many of the small landlords will experience bankruptcy if evictions are not sped up considerably.

March 16, 2016 By Jim Windle BRANTFORD – Not very many people living in Ontario are aware that there is no such thing as the Ontario land registry, which registers and records all land transactions in the province. It’s all been sourced out to a private corporation. About 15 years ago the province hired Teranet, a private firm, to digitize, register and transact real estate deals and titles, both old and new. Martin McDermott was caught on the horns of this beast while dealing with land in Ancaster once owned by his now deceased mother. He believes the change in the Ontario land registry system and its software is or could be just as easily used to unfairly deal with certain Six Nations land claims and title issues.

BETWEEN: DAVID RAYMOND AMOS Respondent on the cross-appeal (and formally Appellant) and HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN Appellant on the cross-appeal (and formerly Respondent) Heard at Fredericton, New Brunswick, on May 24, 2017. Judgment delivered at Ottawa, Ontario, on October 30, 2017. REASONS FOR JUDGMENT BY: THE COURT Date: 20171030 Docket: A-48-16 Citation: 2017 FCA 213 CORAM: WEBB J.A. NEAR J.A. GLEASON J.A. BETWEEN: DAVID RAYMOND AMOS Respondent on the cross-appeal (and formally Appellant) and HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN Appellant on the cross-appeal (and formerly Respondent) REASONS FOR JUDGMENT BY THE COURT I. Introduction [1] On September 16, 2015, David Raymond Amos (Mr. Amos) filed a 53-page Statement of Claim (the Claim) in Federal Court against Her Majesty the Queen (the Crown). Mr. Amos claims $11 million in damages and a public apology from the Prime Minister and Provincial Premiers for being illegally barred from accessing parliamentary properties and seeks a declaration from the Minister of Public Safety that the Canadian Government will no longer allow the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) and Canadian Forces to harass him and his clan (Claim at para. 96). [2] On November 12, 2015 (Docket T-1557-15), by way of a motion brought by the Crown, a prothonotary of the Federal Court (the Prothonotary) struck the Claim in its entirety, without leave to amend, on the basis that it was plain and obvious that the Claim disclosed no reasonable claim, the Claim was fundamentally vexatious, and the Claim could not be salvaged by way of further amendment (the Prothontary’s Order). [3] On January 25, 2016 (2016 FC 93), by way of Mr. Amos’ appeal from the Prothonotary’s Order, a judge of the Federal Court (the Judge), reviewing the matter de novo, struck all of Mr. Amos’ claims for relief with the exception of the claim for damages for being barred by the RCMP from the New Brunswick legislature in 2004 (the Federal Court Judgment). [4] Mr. Amos appealed and the Crown cross-appealed the Federal Court Judgment. Further to the issuance of a Notice of Status Review, Mr. Amos’ appeal was dismissed for delay on December 19, 2016. As such, the only matter before this Court is the Crown’s cross-appeal. II. Preliminary Matter [5] Mr. Amos, in his memorandum of fact and law in relation to the cross-appeal that was filed with this Court on March 6, 2017, indicated that several judges of this Court, including two of the judges of this panel, had a conflict of interest in this appeal. This was the first time that he identified the judges whom he believed had a conflict of interest in a document that was filed with this Court. In his notice of appeal he had alluded to a conflict with several judges but did not name those judges. [6] Mr. Amos was of the view that he did not have to identify the judges in any document filed with this Court because he had identified the judges in various documents that had been filed with the Federal Court. In his view the Federal Court and the Federal Court of Appeal are the same court and therefore any document filed in the Federal Court would be filed in this Court. This view is based on subsections 5(4) and 5.1(4) of the Federal Courts Act, R.S.C., 1985, c. F-7: 5(4) Every judge of the Federal Court is, by virtue of his or her office, a judge of the Federal Court of Appeal and has all the jurisdiction, power and authority of a judge of the Federal Court of Appeal. […] 5(4) Les juges de la Cour fédérale sont d’office juges de la Cour d’appel fédérale et ont la même compétence et les mêmes pouvoirs que les juges de la Cour d’appel fédérale. […] 5.1(4) Every judge of the Federal Court of Appeal is, by virtue of that office, a judge of the Federal Court and has all the jurisdiction, power and authority of a judge of the Federal Court. 5.1(4) Les juges de la Cour d’appel fédérale sont d’office juges de la Cour fédérale et ont la même compétence et les mêmes pouvoirs que les juges de la Cour fédérale. [7] However, these subsections only provide that the judges of the Federal Court are also judges of this Court (and vice versa). It does not mean that there is only one court. If the Federal Court and this Court were one Court, there would be no need for this section. [8] Sections 3 and 4 of the Federal Courts Act provide that: 3 The division of the Federal Court of Canada called the Federal Court — Appeal Division is continued under the name “Federal Court of Appeal” in English and “Cour d’appel fédérale” in French. It is continued as an additional court of law, equity and admiralty in and for Canada, for the better administration of the laws of Canada and as a superior court of record having civil and criminal jurisdiction. 3 La Section d’appel, aussi appelée la Cour d’appel ou la Cour d’appel fédérale, est maintenue et dénommée « Cour d’appel fédérale » en français et « Federal Court of Appeal » en anglais. Elle est maintenue à titre de tribunal additionnel de droit, d’equity et d’amirauté du Canada, propre à améliorer l’application du droit canadien, et continue d’être une cour supérieure d’archives ayant compétence en matière civile et pénale. 4 The division of the Federal Court of Canada called the Federal Court — Trial Division is continued under the name “Federal Court” in English and “Cour fédérale” in French. It is continued as an additional court of law, equity and admiralty in and for Canada, for the better administration of the laws of Canada and as a superior court of record having civil and criminal jurisdiction. 4 La section de la Cour fédérale du Canada, appelée la Section de première instance de la Cour fédérale, est maintenue et dénommée « Cour fédérale » en français et « Federal Court » en anglais. Elle est maintenue à titre de tribunal additionnel de droit, d’equity et d’amirauté du Canada, propre à améliorer l’application du droit canadien, et continue d’être une cour supérieure d’archives ayant compétence en matière civile et pénale. [9] Sections 3 and 4 of the Federal Courts Act create two separate courts – this Court (section 3) and the Federal Court (section 4). If, as Mr. Amos suggests, documents filed in the Federal Court were automatically also filed in this Court, then there would no need for the parties to prepare and file appeal books as required by Rules 343 to 345 of the Federal Courts Rules, SOR/98-106 in relation to any appeal from a decision of the Federal Court. The requirement to file an appeal book with this Court in relation to an appeal from a decision of the Federal Court makes it clear that the only documents that will be before this Court are the documents that are part of that appeal book. [10] Therefore, the memorandum of fact and law filed on March 6, 2017 is the first document, filed with this Court, in which Mr. Amos identified the particular judges that he submits have a conflict in any matter related to him. [11] On April 3, 2017, Mr. Amos attempted to bring a motion before the Federal Court seeking an order “affirming or denying the conflict of interest he has” with a number of judges of the Federal Court. A judge of the Federal Court issued a direction noting that if Mr. Amos was seeking this order in relation to judges of the Federal Court of Appeal, it was beyond the jurisdiction of the Federal Court. Mr. Amos raised the Federal Court motion at the hearing of this cross-appeal. The Federal Court motion is not a motion before this Court and, as such, the submissions filed before the Federal Court will not be entertained. As well, since this was a motion brought before the Federal Court (and not this Court), any documents filed in relation to that motion are not part of the record of this Court. [12] During the hearing of the appeal Mr. Amos alleged that the third member of this panel also had a conflict of interest and submitted some documents that, in his view, supported his claim of a conflict. Mr. Amos, following the hearing of his appeal, was also afforded the opportunity to provide a brief summary of the conflict that he was alleging and to file additional documents that, in his view, supported his allegations. Mr. Amos submitted several pages of documents in relation to the alleged conflicts. He organized the documents by submitting a copy of the biography of the particular judge and then, immediately following that biography, by including copies of the documents that, in his view, supported his claim that such judge had a conflict. [13] The nature of the alleged conflict of Justice Webb is that before he was appointed as a Judge of the Tax Court of Canada in 2006, he was a partner with the law firm Patterson Law, and before that with Patterson Palmer in Nova Scotia. Mr. Amos submitted that he had a number of disputes with Patterson Palmer and Patterson Law and therefore Justice Webb has a conflict simply because he was a partner of these firms. Mr. Amos is not alleging that Justice Webb was personally involved in or had any knowledge of any matter in which Mr. Amos was involved with Justice Webb’s former law firm – only that he was a member of such firm. [14] During his oral submissions at the hearing of his appeal Mr. Amos, in relation to the alleged conflict for Justice Webb, focused on dealings between himself and a particular lawyer at Patterson Law. However, none of the documents submitted by Mr. Amos at the hearing or subsequently related to any dealings with this particular lawyer nor is it clear when Mr. Amos was dealing with this lawyer. In particular, it is far from clear whether such dealings were after the time that Justice Webb was appointed as a Judge of the Tax Court of Canada over 10 years ago. [15] The documents that he submitted in relation to the alleged conflict for Justice Webb largely relate to dealings between Byron Prior and the St. John’s Newfoundland and Labrador office of Patterson Palmer, which is not in the same province where Justice Webb practiced law. The only document that indicates any dealing between Mr. Amos and Patterson Palmer is a copy of an affidavit of Stephen May who was a partner in the St. John’s NL office of Patterson Palmer. The affidavit is dated January 24, 2005 and refers to a number of e-mails that were sent by Mr. Amos to Stephen May. Mr. Amos also included a letter that is addressed to four individuals, one of whom is John Crosbie who was counsel to the St. John’s NL office of Patterson Palmer. The letter is dated September 2, 2004 and is addressed to “John Crosbie, c/o Greg G. Byrne, Suite 502, 570 Queen Street, Fredericton, NB E3B 5E3”. In this letter Mr. Amos alludes to a possible lawsuit against Patterson Palmer. [16] Mr. Amos’ position is that simply because Justice Webb was a lawyer with Patterson Palmer, he now has a conflict. In Wewaykum Indian Band v. Her Majesty the Queen, 2003 SCC 45, [2003] 2 S.C.R. 259, the Supreme Court of Canada noted that disqualification of a judge is to be determined based on whether there is a reasonable apprehension of bias: 60 In Canadian law, one standard has now emerged as the criterion for disqualification. The criterion, as expressed by de Grandpré J. in Committee for Justice and Liberty v. National Energy Board, …[[1978] 1 S.C.R. 369, 68 D.L.R. (3d) 716], at p. 394, is the reasonable apprehension of bias: … the apprehension of bias must be a reasonable one, held by reasonable and right minded persons, applying themselves to the question and obtaining thereon the required information. In the words of the Court of Appeal, that test is "what would an informed person, viewing the matter realistically and practically -- and having thought the matter through -- conclude. Would he think that it is more likely than not that [the decision-maker], whether consciously or unconsciously, would not decide fairly." [17] The issue to be determined is whether an informed person, viewing the matter realistically and practically, and having thought the matter through, would conclude that Mr. Amos’ allegations give rise to a reasonable apprehension of bias. As this Court has previously remarked, “there is a strong presumption that judges will administer justice impartially” and this presumption will not be rebutted in the absence of “convincing evidence” of bias (Collins v. Canada, 2011 FCA 140 at para. 7, [2011] 4 C.T.C. 157 [Collins]. See also R. v. S. (R.D.), [1997] 3 S.C.R. 484 at para. 32, 151 D.L.R. (4th) 193). [18] The Ontario Court of Appeal in Rando Drugs Ltd. v. Scott, 2007 ONCA 553, 86 O.R. (3d) 653 (leave to appeal to the Supreme Court of Canada refused, 32285 (August 1, 2007)), addressed the particular issue of whether a judge is disqualified from hearing a case simply because he had been a member of a law firm that was involved in the litigation that was now before that judge. The Ontario Court of Appeal determined that the judge was not disqualified if the judge had no involvement with the person or the matter when he was a lawyer. The Ontario Court of Appeal also explained that the rules for determining whether a judge is disqualified are different from the rules to determine whether a lawyer has a conflict: 27 Thus, disqualification is not the natural corollary to a finding that a trial judge has had some involvement in a case over which he or she is now presiding. Where the judge had no involvement, as here, it cannot be said that the judge is disqualified. 28 The point can rightly be made that had Mr. Patterson been asked to represent the appellant as counsel before his appointment to the bench, the conflict rules would likely have prevented him from taking the case because his firm had formerly represented one of the defendants in the case. Thus, it is argued how is it that as a trial judge Patterson J. can hear the case? This issue was considered by the Court of Appeal (Civil Division) in Locabail (U.K.) Ltd. v. Bayfield Properties Ltd., [2000] Q.B. 451. The court held, at para. 58, that there is no inflexible rule governing the disqualification of a judge and that, "[e]verything depends on the circumstances." 29 It seems to me that what appears at first sight to be an inconsistency in application of rules can be explained by the different contexts and in particular, the strong presumption of judicial impartiality that applies in the context of disqualification of a judge. There is no such presumption in cases of allegations of conflict of interest against a lawyer because of a firm's previous involvement in the case. To the contrary, as explained by Sopinka J. in MacDonald Estate v. Martin (1990), 77 D.L.R. (4th) 249 (S.C.C.), for sound policy reasons there is a presumption of a disqualifying interest that can rarely be overcome. In particular, a conclusory statement from the lawyer that he or she had no confidential information about the case will never be sufficient. The case is the opposite where the allegation of bias is made against a trial judge. His or her statement that he or she knew nothing about the case and had no involvement in it will ordinarily be accepted at face value unless there is good reason to doubt it: see Locabail, at para. 19. 30 That brings me then to consider the particular circumstances of this case and whether there are serious grounds to find a disqualifying conflict of interest in this case. In my view, there are two significant factors that justify the trial judge's decision not to recuse himself. The first is his statement, which all parties accept, that he knew nothing of the case when it was in his former firm and that he had nothing to do with it. The second is the long passage of time. As was said in Wewaykum, at para. 85: To us, one significant factor stands out, and must inform the perspective of the reasonable person assessing the impact of this involvement on Binnie J.'s impartiality in the appeals. That factor is the passage of time. Most arguments for disqualification rest on circumstances that are either contemporaneous to the decision-making, or that occurred within a short time prior to the decision-making. 31 There are other factors that inform the issue. The Wilson Walker firm no longer acted for any of the parties by the time of trial. More importantly, at the time of the motion, Patterson J. had been a judge for six years and thus had not had a relationship with his former firm for a considerable period of time. 32 In my view, a reasonable person, viewing the matter realistically would conclude that the trial judge could deal fairly and impartially with this case. I take this view principally because of the long passage of time and the trial judge's lack of involvement in or knowledge of the case when the Wilson Walker firm had carriage. In these circumstances it cannot be reasonably contended that the trial judge could not remain impartial in the case. The mere fact that his name appears on the letterhead of some correspondence from over a decade ago would not lead a reasonable person to believe that he would either consciously or unconsciously favour his former firm's former client. It is simply not realistic to think that a judge would throw off his mantle of impartiality, ignore his oath of office and favour a client - about whom he knew nothing - of a firm that he left six years earlier and that no longer acts for the client, in a case involving events from over a decade ago. (emphasis added) [19] Justice Webb had no involvement with any matter involving Mr. Amos while he was a member of Patterson Palmer or Patterson Law, nor does Mr. Amos suggest that he did. Mr. Amos made it clear during the hearing of this matter that the only reason for the alleged conflict for Justice Webb was that he was a member of Patterson Law and Patterson Palmer. This is simply not enough for Justice Webb to be disqualified. Any involvement of Mr. Amos with Patterson Law while Justice Webb was a member of that firm would have had to occur over 10 years ago and even longer for the time when he was a member of Patterson Palmer. In addition to the lack of any involvement on his part with any matter or dispute that Mr. Amos had with Patterson Law or Patterson Palmer (which in and of itself is sufficient to dispose of this matter), the length of time since Justice Webb was a member of Patterson Law or Patterson Palmer would also result in the same finding – that there is no conflict in Justice Webb hearing this appeal. [20] Similarly in R. v. Bagot, 2000 MBCA 30, 145 Man. R. (2d) 260, the Manitoba Court of Appeal found that there was no reasonable apprehension of bias when a judge, who had been a member of the law firm that had been retained by the accused, had no involvement with the accused while he was a lawyer with that firm. [21] In Del Zotto v. Minister of National Revenue, [2000] 4 F.C. 321, 257 N.R. 96, this court did find that there would be a reasonable apprehension of bias where a judge, who while he was a lawyer, had recorded time on a matter involving the same person who was before that judge. However, this case can be distinguished as Justice Webb did not have any time recorded on any files involving Mr. Amos while he was a lawyer with Patterson Palmer or Patterson Law. [22] Mr. Amos also included with his submissions a CD. He stated in his affidavit dated June 26, 2017 that there is a “true copy of an American police surveillance wiretap entitled 139” on this CD. He has also indicated that he has “provided a true copy of the CD entitled 139 to many American and Canadian law enforcement authorities and not one of the police forces or officers of the court are willing to investigate it”. Since he has indicated that this is an “American police surveillance wiretap”, this is a matter for the American law enforcement authorities and cannot create, as Mr. Amos suggests, a conflict of interest for any judge to whom he provides a copy. [23] As a result, there is no conflict or reasonable apprehension of bias for Justice Webb and therefore, no reason for him to recuse himself. [24] Mr. Amos alleged that Justice Near’s past professional experience with the government created a “quasi-conflict” in deciding the cross-appeal. Mr. Amos provided no details and Justice Near confirmed that he had no prior knowledge of the matters alleged in the Claim. Justice Near sees no reason to recuse himself. [25] Insofar as it is possible to glean the basis for Mr. Amos’ allegations against Justice Gleason, it appears that he alleges that she is incapable of hearing this appeal because he says he wrote a letter to Brian Mulroney and Jean Chrétien in 2004. At that time, both Justice Gleason and Mr. Mulroney were partners in the law firm Ogilvy Renault, LLP. The letter in question, which is rude and angry, begins with “Hey you two Evil Old Smiling Bastards” and “Re: me suing you and your little dogs too”. There is no indication that the letter was ever responded to or that a law suit was ever commenced by Mr. Amos against Mr. Mulroney. In the circumstances, there is no reason for Justice Gleason to recuse herself as the letter in question does not give rise to a reasonable apprehension of bias. III. Issue [26] The issue on the cross-appeal is as follows: Did the Judge err in setting aside the Prothonotary’s Order striking the Claim in its entirety without leave to amend and in determining that Mr. Amos’ allegation that the RCMP barred him from the New Brunswick legislature in 2004 was capable of supporting a cause of action? IV. Analysis A. Standard of Review [27] Following the Judge’s decision to set aside the Prothonotary’s Order, this Court revisited the standard of review to be applied to discretionary decisions of prothonotaries and decisions made by judges on appeals of prothonotaries’ decisions in Hospira Healthcare Corp. v. Kennedy Institute of Rheumatology, 2016 FCA 215, 402 D.L.R. (4th) 497 [Hospira]. In Hospira, a five-member panel of this Court replaced the Aqua-Gem standard of review with that articulated in Housen v. Nikolaisen, 2002 SCC 33, [2002] 2 S.C.R. 235 [Housen]. As a result, it is no longer appropriate for the Federal Court to conduct a de novo review of a discretionary order made by a prothonotary in regard to questions vital to the final issue of the case. Rather, a Federal Court judge can only intervene on appeal if the prothonotary made an error of law or a palpable and overriding error in determining a question of fact or question of mixed fact and law (Hospira at para. 79). Further, this Court can only interfere with a Federal Court judge’s review of a prothonotary’s discretionary order if the judge made an error of law or palpable and overriding error in determining a question of fact or question of mixed fact and law (Hospira at paras. 82-83). [28] In the case at bar, the Judge substituted his own assessment of Mr. Amos’ Claim for that of the Prothonotary. This Court must look to the Prothonotary’s Order to determine whether the Judge erred in law or made a palpable and overriding error in choosing to interfere. B. Did the Judge err in interfering with the Prothonotary’s Order? [29] The Prothontoary’s Order accepted the following paragraphs from the Crown’s submissions as the basis for striking the Claim in its entirety without leave to amend: 17. Within the 96 paragraph Statement of Claim, the Plaintiff addresses his complaint in paragraphs 14-24, inclusive. All but four of those paragraphs are dedicated to an incident that occurred in 2006 in and around the legislature in New Brunswick. The jurisdiction of the Federal Court does not extend to Her Majesty the Queen in right of the Provinces. In any event, the Plaintiff hasn’t named the Province or provincial actors as parties to this action. The incident alleged does not give rise to a justiciable cause of action in this Court. (…) 21. The few paragraphs that directly address the Defendant provide no details as to the individuals involved or the location of the alleged incidents or other details sufficient to allow the Defendant to respond. As a result, it is difficult or impossible to determine the causes of action the Plaintiff is attempting to advance. A generous reading of the Statement of Claim allows the Defendant to only speculate as to the true and/or intended cause of action. At best, the Plaintiff’s action may possibly be summarized as: he suspects he is barred from the House of Commons. [footnotes omitted]. [30] The Judge determined that he could not strike the Claim on the same jurisdictional basis as the Prothonotary. The Judge noted that the Federal Court has jurisdiction over claims based on the liability of Federal Crown servants like the RCMP and that the actors who barred Mr. Amos from the New Brunswick legislature in 2004 included the RCMP (Federal Court Judgment at para. 23). In considering the viability of these allegations de novo, the Judge identified paragraph 14 of the Claim as containing “some precision” as it identifies the date of the event and a RCMP officer acting as Aide-de-Camp to the Lieutenant Governor (Federal Court Judgment at para. 27). [31] The Judge noted that the 2004 event could support a cause of action in the tort of misfeasance in public office and identified the elements of the tort as excerpted from Meigs v. Canada, 2013 FC 389, 431 F.T.R. 111: [13] As in both the cases of Odhavji Estate v Woodhouse, 2003 SCC 69 [Odhavji] and Lewis v Canada, 2012 FC 1514 [Lewis], I must determine whether the plaintiffs’ statement of claim pleads each element of the alleged tort of misfeasance in public office: a) The public officer must have engaged in deliberate and unlawful conduct in his or her capacity as public officer; b) The public officer must have been aware both that his or her conduct was unlawful and that it was likely to harm the plaintiff; and c) There must be an element of bad faith or dishonesty by the public officer and knowledge of harm alone is insufficient to conclude that a public officer acted in bad faith or dishonestly. Odhavji, above, at paras 23, 24 and 28 (Federal Court Judgment at para. 28). [32] The Judge determined that Mr. Amos disclosed sufficient material facts to meet the elements of the tort of misfeasance in public office because the actors, who barred him from the New Brunswick legislature in 2004, including the RCMP, did so for “political reasons” (Federal Court Judgment at para. 29). [33] This Court’s discussion of the sufficiency of pleadings in Merchant Law Group v. Canada (Revenue Agency), 2010 FCA 184, 321 D.L.R (4th) 301 is particularly apt: …When pleading bad faith or abuse of power, it is not enough to assert, baldly, conclusory phrases such as “deliberately or negligently,” “callous disregard,” or “by fraud and theft did steal”. “The bare assertion of a conclusion upon which the court is called upon to pronounce is not an allegation of material fact”. Making bald, conclusory allegations without any evidentiary foundation is an abuse of process… To this, I would add that the tort of misfeasance in public office requires a particular state of mind of a public officer in carrying out the impunged action, i.e., deliberate conduct which the public officer knows to be inconsistent with the obligations of his or her office. For this tort, particularization of the allegations is mandatory. Rule 181 specifically requires particularization of allegations of “breach of trust,” “wilful default,” “state of mind of a person,” “malice” or “fraudulent intention.” (at paras. 34-35, citations omitted). [34] Applying the Housen standard of review to the Prothonotary’s Order, we are of the view that the Judge interfered absent a legal or palpable and overriding error. [35] The Prothonotary determined that Mr. Amos’ Claim disclosed no reasonable claim and was fundamentally vexatious on the basis of jurisdictional concerns and the absence of material facts to ground a cause of action. Paragraph 14 of the Claim, which addresses the 2004 event, pleads no material facts as to how the RCMP officer engaged in deliberate and unlawful conduct, knew that his or her conduct was unlawful and likely to harm Mr. Amos, and acted in bad faith. While the Claim alleges elsewhere that Mr. Amos was barred from the New Brunswick legislature for political and/or malicious reasons, these allegations are not particularized and are directed against non-federal actors, such as the Sergeant-at-Arms of the Legislative Assembly of New Brunswick and the Fredericton Police Force. As such, the Judge erred in determining that Mr. Amos’ allegation that the RCMP barred him from the New Brunswick legislature in 2004 was capable of supporting a cause of action. [36] In our view, the Claim is made up entirely of bare allegations, devoid of any detail, such that it discloses no reasonable cause of action within the jurisdiction of the Federal Courts. Therefore, the Judge erred in interfering to set aside the Prothonotary’s Order striking the claim in its entirety. Further, we find that the Prothonotary made no error in denying leave to amend. The deficiencies in Mr. Amos’ pleadings are so extensive such that amendment could not cure them (see Collins at para. 26). V. Conclusion [37] For the foregoing reasons, we would allow the Crown’s cross-appeal, with costs, setting aside the Federal Court Judgment, dated January 25, 2016 and restoring the Prothonotary’s Order, dated November 12, 2015, which struck Mr. Amos’ Claim in its entirety without leave to amend.

Progressive Conservative MLA calls it quits at provincial level Brian Macdonald won't run again for legislature seat, but might try federal politics CBC News · Posted: May 28, 2018 6:07 PM AT | Last Updated: May 28 Brian Macdonald, a Progressive Conservative MLA, has announced he won't run in the Sept. 24 provincial election. (CBC) New Brunswick's Progressive Conservative party is losing one of its highest-profile MLAs just months before the next provincial election. Brian Macdonald says he won't be a candidate this fall and may instead jump into federal politics. Calling the last year "my best year in politics," the two-term MLA said his decision has nothing to do with PC Leader Blaine Higgs, who beat Macdonald for the party leadership in 2016. "It's been a really good year," Macdonald said. "I've had a strong voice in the legislature on issues that are really important to my heart. "I also think it can be a challenge being in provincial politics. It's very small, it's very close, it's very tight, and on a personal basis, I want to move on." Macdonald says he’s considering running for the federal Conservative nomination in New Brunswick Southwest, which includes part of the riding of Fredericton West-Hanwell, where he has been the MLA. (CBC) Macdonald said he's considering running for the federal Conservative nomination in New Brunswick Southwest, a constituency that includes part of Macdonald's provincial riding of Fredericton West-Hanwell. Health critic slams 'gutting' of top doctor's office Blaine Higgs faces internal PC dissent over appointment That decision would pit him against former Conservative MP John Williamson, who announced May 21 he'll also seek the nomination in the riding he represented from 2011 to 2015. Party members in the riding will nominate their candidate June 28. Macdonald said he'll also consider running federally in Fredericton. The former soldier said he's also looking at job opportunities with national organizations that advocate for veterans. "I'm looking for opportunities and considering a lot of options," he said. Blaine Higgs wins N.B. PC leadership race on 3rd ballot Tory leadership hopefuls scramble to be 'second choice' of rivals' supporters Macdonald is the fifth candidate from the 2016 provincial PC leadership race to opt against running in this year's election under Higgs. Macdonald said he is confident he would have won his riding again and the Tories will win the election Sept. 24, meaning he'd have a shot of becoming a minister. But he said being a provincial politician "does wear on you and it does make you think about what the other options are. … If I go another four years in provincial politics, it concerns me that my options would be limited after that." The 47-year-old also said the recent death of some friends made him realize he should pursue other opportunities when he can. Macdonald's interest in federal politics has been well-known for years. He was a political assistant to former federal Defence Minister Peter MacKay and sought the federal Conservative nomination for Fredericton for the 2008 election. After failing to win that nomination, he ran provincially in Fredericton-Silverwood in 2010 and was elected. He was re-elected in the newly created riding of Fredericton West-Hanwell in 2014, when he defeated then-NDP leader Dominic Cardy. Macdonald ran for the leadership of the New Brunswick Progressive Conservative Party but lost to Blaine Higgs. (Jacques Poitras/CBC) In 2016, Macdonald ran for the PC leadership, placing sixth on the first ballot out of seven candidates. Macdonald said he doesn't think his departure will hurt the provincial party's chances of holding on to Fredericton West-Hanwell. "It's going to be very attractive to a number of high-calibre candidates who are now beginning to come forward," he said. | |

>>> Defendant
>>>
>>> ORDER
>>>
>>> (Delivered orally from the Bench in Fredericton, New Brunswick, on

>>>
>>> The Plaintiff seeks an appeal de novo, by way of motion pursuant to
>>> the Federal Courts Rules (SOR/98-106), from an Order made on November
>>> 12, 2015, in which Prothonotary Morneau struck the Statement of Claim
>>> in its entirety.
>>>
>>> At the outset of the hearing, the Plaintiff brought to my attention a
>>> letter dated September 10, 2004, which he sent to me, in my then
>>> capacity as Past President of the New Brunswick Branch of the Canadian
>>> Bar Association, and the then President of the Branch, Kathleen Quigg,
>>> (now a Justice of the New Brunswick Court of Appeal). In that letter
>>> he stated:
>>>
>>> As for your past President, Mr. Bell, may I suggest that you check the
>>> work of Frank McKenna before I sue your entire law firm including you.
>>> You are your brother’s keeper.
>>>
>>> Frank McKenna is the former Premier of New Brunswick and a former
>>> colleague of mine at the law firm of McInnes Cooper. In addition to
>>> expressing an intention to sue me, the Plaintiff refers to a number of
>>> people in his Motion Record who he appears to contend may be witnesses
>>> or potential parties to be added. Those individuals who are known to
>>> me personally, include, but are not limited to the former Prime
>>> Minister of Canada, The Right Honourable Stephen Harper; former
>>> Attorney General of Canada and now a Justice of the Manitoba Court of
>>> Queen’s Bench, Vic Toews; former member of Parliament Rob Moore;
>>> former Director of Policing Services, the late Grant Garneau; former
>>> Chief of the Fredericton Police Force, Barry McKnight; former Staff
>>> Sergeant Danny Copp; my former colleagues on the New Brunswick Court
>>> of Appeal, Justices Bradley V. Green and Kathleen Quigg, and, retired
>>> Assistant Commissioner Wayne Lang of the Royal Canadian Mounted
>>> Police.
>>>
>>> In the circumstances, given the threat in 2004 to sue me in my
>>> personal capacity and my past and present relationship with many
>>> potential witnesses and/or potential parties to the litigation, I am
>>> of the view there would be a reasonable apprehension of bias should I
>>> hear this motion. See Justice de Grandpré’s dissenting judgment in
>>> Committee for Justice and Liberty et al v National Energy Board et al,
>>> [1978] 1 SCR 369 at p 394 for the applicable test regarding
>>> allegations of bias. In the circumstances, although neither party has
>>> requested I recuse myself, I consider it appropriate that I do so.

To: David Amos <motomaniac333@gmail.com> Good afternoon David Amos, The Civilian Review and Complaints Commission for the RCMP (the "Commission") is in receipt of your three emails of October 29, thank you. Your emails were thoroughly reviewed, but no information on a new public complaint against a member of the RCMP could be located. The only RCMP interaction about which you may have wanted to lodge a complaint which was identified, appears to have occurred in 2004, when RCMP members removed you from the New Brunswick legislature. Due to the time which has passed, and your several opportunities to bring this up with Commission staff in the past (and with staff from the Commission for Public Complaints against the RCMP, which the current Commission replaces), a public complaint will not be accepted regarding this incident. Should you have a complaint you would like to make regarding the conduct of an on-duty RCMP member, for an incident occurring within the last year, the Commission invites you to submit a complaint using our online complaint form at https://www.crcc-ccetp.gc.ca/ you may contact our Intake Office at our toll-free number listed below. Your October 29th emails will be kept on file for information purposes only.

Just go back six more years in case you forgot EH Harper??? http://qslspolitics.blogspot. Bob Bauer a former blogger for Huffington Post returned to Perkins $ Coie after a period of service to President Barack Obama as his White House Counsel from December of 2009 until June of 2011. He is now General Counsel to the President’s re-election committee, to Obama for America, and General Counsel to the Democratic National Committee. He has also served as co-counsel to the New Hampshire State Senate in the trial of Chief Justice David A. Brock (2000); general counsel to the Bill Bradley for President Committee (1999-2000); and counsel to the Democratic Leader in the trial of President William Jefferson Clinton (1999). He has co-authored numerous bipartisan reports, including "Report of Counsel to the Senate Rules and Administration Committee in the Matter of the United States Senate Seat From Louisiana" in the 105th Congress of the United States (March 27, 1997); "Campaign Finance Reform," A Report to the Majority Leader and Minority Leader of the United States Senate (March 6, 1990); and "The Presidential Election Process in the Philippines" (1986), a bipartisan report prepared at the request of the Chairman and Ranking Member of the U.S. Senate Committee on Foreign Relations. Too bad so sad the lawyer Obama didn't ignore his legal counsel and check my work for himself long ago. It is clear to me that Bob Bauer never studied Maritimers and their lawsuits as closely as I studied his work over the years. http://www.checktheevidence. If Obama does not finally simply say my name and expose what he knows about Romney and I way back before he was even a Governor then he deserves to lose this election. However even though I would NOT wish to see another GOP president you and your Bankster buddies won't mind that a bit but I doubt the NDP and the Liberals will agree EH Mr Prime Minister? http://davidamos.blogspot.ca/ Somebody wise should scroll to the bottom of this email and understand that it was Fidelity that knowingly sold the Title Insurance on the fraduulent sale of my family's home in 2005 then Citizens Bank illegally recorded the discharge of a mortage long after the deal was done. They and the FSA know I have the records from the Registry of Deeds. Clearly the Royal Bank Of Scotland and British FSA has ADMITTED knowing all this for way past too long.

It happened to me and it can happen to anyone. To stay on topic in this blog here is a little bit of what your MP Mikey Allen knew about mean old me as soon as he got elected in 2006. Hell I even discussed this crap with him on the phone after the election and he asked what he could do. I demanded that he uphold his oath as a parliamentarian and uphold the laws that the smiling bastards make then I went to Woodsock and stuck some documents and CD under his door to prove to him I am a man of my word and that his boss Stevey Boy Harper was a crook. A bunch of kids in the computer access place right next door to Allen's office watched me do it after I explained some shit to them and they had told me that the new Neo Con government had cut the funding and they were about to be shut down. Hell I even said it in Youtube the day after I did it. http://www.youtube.com/watch? Rest assured that the New Brunswick Real Estate Association learned last year what their overseer the Minister of Justice of New Brunswick knew I knew about their business over four years ago.

Albeit well worn, the term describes with pinpoint accuracy the situation in which large, multiple line insurers currently find themselves. Like the 50-foot waves that buffeted the swordboat “Andrea Gail” in The Perfect Storm, powerful forces are challenging carriers on all sides: the prolonged soft market in property/casualty lines; possible reserve inadequacies for life companies; the stock market volatility, the credit crunch, and the ongoing crisis in the housing market. Given the number, nature, and magnitude of these challenges, few would question the decision of industry veteran Thomas F. Motamed to retire last June from The Chubb Corporation after a distinguished 31-year career with the insurer. Motamed joined Chubb in 1977 as a claims trainee and in 2002 was elected vice chairman and chief operating officer. Quite a few people, however, might wonder what motivated Motamed to defer his well-earned R&R and instead return to the executive suite, this time at a leading multi-line carrier based in Chicago. On January 5, 2009, Motamed began his tenure as chairman and chief executive officer of CNA Financial, the holding company of CNA insurance companies. He succeeded Stephen W. Lilienthal, who retired in Deccember 2008 after holding those positions since 2002. In an exclusive interview with Rough Notes, Motamed explained his reasons for accepting the top post at CNA and, from the perspective of his first 30 days on the job, shared his insights into the myriad challenges that face his organization and its competitors in today’s storm-tossed market. “First and foremost, I thought there was a tremendous opportunity to build a great company,” Motamed said. “CNA has been around since 1897, so it has a long history, and I thought it had good people. This is a people business, and if you have good people who are on the right page, you can win.” Ranking priorities Given the “perfect storm” in which insurers are struggling to remain afloat, how do leaders like Motamed approach the challenge of establishing their priorities? “Everyone—individuals, businesses in general, and certainly insurance companies—is facing a decline in the value of their assets,” Motamed observed. “To me, probably the most serious issue insurance companies are dealing with, particularly life companies, is the asset side of the balance sheet. Clearly, everyone is hoping for an economic recovery and a financial market recovery, but we need to be constantly looking at ways to improve the financial side of the business.” In recent months, some life insurers have been petitioning their home state insurance departments to reduce reserve requirements to help preserve their financial stability ratings in the current crisis. We asked Motamed to comment on this trend. “Every insurance company I know has taken a hit on the asset side,” he replied. “When that happens, you’re subjected to scrutiny by the rating agencies. I believe that all of us who run companies, who believe that we have good products, services and people, don’t want to operate under the cloud of a lower rating. People look to the financial strength of insurers to protect their assets when it comes to a claim,” he pointed out. “It’s important to remember that we’re not the only ones in control of our destiny. We’re watched by the rating agencies and by state regulators, and by the federal government when it gives TARP money to insurers.” In this environment, Motamed remarked, “I think everyone is trying to avoid a downturn in their rating.” Eye on the cycle These days you’d have to go a long way to find any Pollyannas in the insurance business, and Motamed is no relentless optimist. Neither, however, is he a pessimist; his long experience in the industry informs his stance as a confirmed realist. “I think it’s a great business with great people, and it’s cyclical,” he said. “People have to understand that we’re in a cycle now where it’s not as lucrative for insurers, and customers are getting lower prices. And that will change.” For that reason, Motamed sees no reason to view today’s soft property/casualty market as anything more than an inevitable turn in the traditional underwriting cycle. “A lot of people are complaining about the soft market, but the current soft cycle is a lot shorter than historic soft market cycles,” he commented. “It’s not as bad as people think, and the calendar year results are pretty good for most insurance companies. The current accident years are coming under some pressure, but a lot of companies reported pretty good earnings and combined ratios, aside from what happened on the investment side of the house. “Core property and casualty results continue to be pretty good,” Motamed continued. “Growth is not good, but in economic times like these, where sales and payrolls are down and people are not reinvesting in their businesses, it’s hard to charge people more money for insurance when they’re already suffering economically.” In times like these, Motamed said, “Whether you’re an insurance company or an agent, the most important thing you can do is stay close to the customer. We have to stay close to our agents and brokers, and we have to execute our fundamentals in a superb way. We also have to be clear about our abilities in the marketplace, and we have to exercise what I call ‘continuing underwriting discipline,’” Motamed asserted. It’s equally important to recognize, he continued, that “this is a face-to-face business. Underwriters need to be in front of their agents, and agents need to be in front of their customers. Technology is never going to change the face-to-face nature of the business, and I don’t think it should.” Pointing to another imperative, Motamed said, “We have to make sure we’re providing excellent service to the ultimate customer, because that’s who pays the bills.” Playing to strengths How does Motamed characterize the key strengths of CNA in today’s economic climate? “I’ve learned a lot about the company since I got here, and I’ve been very pleased,” Motamed replied. “First, we have good ratings, and people look to that. We have solid service capabilities in claims, risk control, and back-office operations. We’re known in the marketplace for underwriting strength in our HealthPro business, construction, and our programs.” (The CNA HealthPro division was profiled in an article titled “Leading the Way in Health Care Liability” in the October 2008 issue of Rough Notes.) A key strength for CNA is its relationships with the agents and brokers who distribute its products, Motamed emphasized. “We’re very much an independent agent company, and agents will be hearing more about CNA expanding its relationships with groups like the Big ‘I’ and the CIAB. We believe we have to work with our agency force to provide first-class solutions to clients,” he said. “Agents need to be more selective as to whom they represent,” Motamed remarked, “and stick with those relationships and build stronger relationships with a core group of companies, rather than dealing with a fractured list of markets. It’s not economical, and it creates problems on the E&O side if you don’t really know what your markets are selling.” What’s more, Motamed commented, “Agents have to be more vocal to their underwriters as to what products and services they want and what their customers are willing to pay for. On the other hand, we as underwriters know that price is part of every sales equation, but agents need to demonstrate their value to the client as well as the value of the market they are representing. “At the end of the day,” Motamed asserted, “relationships are everything. In soft markets and hard markets, agents want long-term relationships with their clients, and we want the same with our agents. It’s cost effective; ultimately it’s more profitable not only for the agent and the underwriter but also for the client when there’s a long-term relationship.” Future of consolidation The last several years have seen the consolidation of some industry giants that few if any industry observers ever would have imagined joining forces. Centuries-old names have disappeared amid a wave of mergers and acquisitions as insurers seek to control their ever-rising costs of doing business. We asked Motamed to comment on this trend and whether he expects it to continue. “It’s kind of a ‘tale of two cities,’” he responded. “On the one hand, I expect more consolidation because there are companies with weaker balance sheets that are unable to raise capital in this economic climate. Underwriting results have deteriorated in the soft market, so logically that suggests that some companies would view a sale to be in the best interests of their shareholders. “On the other hand, there are fewer buyers, because they have weaker balance sheets as well,” Motamed observed, “and they also have the problem of raising capital today. What’s more, today there are many fewer companies to buy than there were 30 years ago. So when you look at consolidation, logically it should happen—but will it? Only time will tell.” Like his peers in the executive suites of other top insurers, Motamed was leery of playing the role of crystal ball gazer. Asked what he thinks the property/casualty business might look like three to five years from now, he did offer some thoughts. “I can’t predict the future with any degree of accuracy, but I expect there will be a turning point on pricing in the next year or two,” Motamed said. “However, that will be muted by the effects of the economy. Underwriters will be able to get a better price for the product, but whether it’s payroll, sales, or total insured values, they are still going to be depressed until the economy comes back. “We’re looking at a scenario where the bottom line may improve, but growth will be difficult in a soft economy. Profitability could improve as rates increase, but the fact is that clients still won’t be paying a lot more for their insurance,” Motamed said. Challenges notwithstanding, Motamed declared: “I continue to be excited about the opportunities at CNA. It’s great to be back in the saddle, and CNA has a lot of advantages. We have talented people who really want to work with our agents, and our local presence in the marketplace with CNA offices is very important so our field people can have face-to-face discussions with their agents,” Motamed said. “We want to be a company that thinks in a big way but acts very locally.” Just Dave By Location Visit Detail Visit 18,009 Domain Name (Unknown) IP Address 159.10.134.# (CNA Insurance) ISP CNA Insurance Location Continent : North America Country : United States (Facts) State : Illinois City : Chicago Lat/Long : 41.8119, -87.6873 (Map) Language English (U.S.) en-us Operating System Microsoft WinNT Browser Internet Explorer 9.0 Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; MSIE 9.0; Windows NT 6.1; Trident/5.0) Javascript version 1.3 Monitor Resolution : 1280 x 1024 Color Depth : 32 bits Time of Visit Oct 1 2012 5:51:58 pm Last Page View Oct 1 2012 5:58:44 pm Visit Length 6 minutes 46 seconds Page Views 5 Referring URL http://search.yahoo....i=UTF- Search Engine search.yahoo.com Search Words "dave raymond amos" Visit Entry Page http://davidamos.blo...per- Visit Exit Page http://davidamos.blo...3/ides- Out Click Time Zone UTC-6:00 Visitor's Time Oct 1 2012 3:51:58 pm Visit Number 18,009 QSLS Politics By Location Visit Detail Visit 28,816 Domain Name (Unknown) IP Address 159.10.134.# (CNA Insurance) ISP CNA Insurance Location Continent : North America Country : United States (Facts) State : Illinois City : Chicago Lat/Long : 41.8119, -87.6873 (Map) Language English (U.S.)en-us Operating System Microsoft WinXP Browser Internet Explorer 7.0 Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 5.1; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.0.04506.648; .NET CLR 3.5.21022; InfoPath.1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322) Javascript version 1.3 Monitor Resolution : 1280 x 1024 Color Depth : 32 bits Time of Visit Oct 1 2012 10:04:30 pm Last Page View Oct 1 2012 10:12:11 pm Visit Length 7 minutes 41 seconds Page Views 2 Referring URL http://www.google.co...0...1c.
