Village council wants controversial speaker event to 'never happen again'
'We don't need people ... spreading that word of hate,' mayor says
A village near Fredericton is reviewing its facility rental policies after the founder of a conservative Christian group spoke at its community centre.
Tanya Gaw, the founder of Action4Canada, spoke at the New Maryland Centre on Monday despite calls for the village to cancel the event.
Action4Canada is a conservative Christian group that espouses theories about COVID-19 and climate change that are at odds with established science and laments the "health hazards of living an LGBTQ lifestyle."
The group alleges on its website that certain school library books about gender identity and expression amount to "child pornography."

Village Mayor Judy Wilson-Shee said the village was not aware that Gaw was speaking at the community centre and would likely have denied her request if they did know.
"I was not sure about this group ... I was reading up on it and I said 'No, New Maryland is not the place for that,'" she said in an interview Tuesday. "We are such a small, loving community."
Gaw is based in British Columbia but has recently been involved in New Brunswick politics by organizing a letter-writing campaign in support of Premier Blaine Higgs's effort to change a school gender-identity policy. She did not respond to a request for comment.
WATCH | New Maryland mayor says she wasn't aware of speaker:
Wilson-Shee said a village staff member is in charge of facility rental requests. Part of the process is finding out what kind of event is taking place and general information about it.
Wilson-Shee said when approving the request, the staff member did not know Gaw or Action4Canada were going to be involved.
Because council only became aware of Gaw's appearance Monday, Wilson-Shee said it was too late to cancel the event. She said staff asked the organizers to voluntarily cancel it, but they already had the keys and they declined.
She said village council, staff and lawyers are reviewing its rental policy to make sure "this doesn't happen again."
"There's too much going on in this world today. We don't need people coming into our beautiful community and spreading that word of hate," Wilson-Shee said. "We want to make sure that our people are safe in our community."
Freedom of expression at play, expert says
But the question of what the village could have done to stop Gaw from renting a space to speak is a complicated one.
Kerri Froc, a law professor at the University of New Brunswick, said making policies to deny rental of public spaces based on political belief would likely be difficult to defend in court, because people have a right to free speech.

faculty, says it's not easy to justify denying people access to public
buildings because of their ideologies or political beliefs, and proving
hate speech is a very high bar that only applies in extreme cases. (Submitted by Kerri Froc)
Froc said municipal policies have to follow a provincial act, which has no "equality mandate" on which the village can rely to justify limiting people's freedom of speech.
What about hate speech laws?
The Canadian Anti-Hate Network, which identifies itself as "an independent, nonprofit organization made up of Canada's leading experts and researchers on hate groups and hate crimes," has designated Action4Canada as a hate group.
Canada has laws against hate speech and hate crimes. Froc said the legal definition of hate speech is a high bar only reached by the most extreme cases.
"It really has to be extreme expression that vilifies a community that denies their standing as members of that community," she said.

says even though staff asked for information about the event, they did
not know it would be a speech from Tanya Gaw, a Christian activist
accused of spreading hate. (Pat Richard/CBC)
An example would be saying that a certain protected group has absolutely no redeeming values, dehumanizing them and portraying them as a threat, as well as inciting hatred and violence against them, she said.
"There's a lot of speech that we allow that people would find obnoxious, offensive, abusive, mentally distressing," she said. "But we have to have a large free reign for expression because of the ills that censorship might cause."
Preemptively denying someone's request to rent a public space because they're likely to commit a crime is not easy to justify, Froc said.
Criminal repercussion can only come after the speech is made, she said. First, the words have to be expressed. Then, if someone believes the words to be hate speech, they can report that to police. Police will then investigate and decide the words meet that bar. If charges are laid then the Crown will decide if there's a reasonable probability of conviction before going ahead with prosecution.
Froc said hate speech laws are rarely invoked.

Conservative B.C.-based group sees N.B.'s LGBTQ policy change as test case for Canada
Non-binary New Brunswicker hesitant to move home, while conservative Christian group wants Higgs to go farther
The controversy is leading at least one LGBTQ person to question whether they want to live here — while at the same time prompting some job recruiters to try to lure New Brunswickers to leave.
And a conservative Christian group based in British Columbia says the debate is a test case for its efforts to roll back school LGBTQ policies across the country.
"Provinces across the country are paying attention to what's going on in New Brunswick because these decisions will affect the rest of the country," said Tanya Gaw, the founder of Action4Canada, which has been flooding New Brunswick MLAs with emails.
"I believe that this program needs to be eradicated from the school system nationwide," Gaw said in an interview.

Education Minister Bill Hogan announced the results of the review of Policy 713 on June 7.
Among the changes is ending the obligation for teachers to respect the names and pronouns of children under 16 in the classroom — regardless of parental consent.
Wren Hicks, who grew up in Fredericton and runs a customer support department for a Montreal company, was thinking of moving back to the province to do that job remotely, until they heard about the Policy 713 review.
"Seeing some of the talking points that I'm seeing reflects stuff that we see from the States, and that's honestly terrifying," said Hicks, who identifies as non-binary and uses gender-neutral pronouns.
"And then on top of that, to be the very first place in Canada to actually roll back rights — it really makes you think, how big a portion of the province thinks like this? How many people are there that hate me without even knowing me?"

Hicks and their partner were "pretty much months away" from relocating, but sees the government's action as likely reflecting at least some level of public support.
"I hadn't considered what the sentiment was in New Brunswick around LBGTQ. Stuff like this doesn't really come up unless there's enough of a base that somebody thinks they're reaching out to."
'We're welcoming,' minister says
Haley Flaro, the executive director of Ability New Brunswick, says she was recently contacted about a job outside the province by a recruiter who guessed correctly she was unhappy about the policy changes.
"They said, 'Listen, we're watching the dialogue happening in New Brunswick. We know you're passionate about inclusion and we can tell you our province is progressive. We've moving forward, equity is important and you should come to our province,'" Flaro said.

Calgary, she faced questions about 'why all these steps back' on Policy
713. (Radio-Canada)
"I thought, okay, this makes sense. The discourse is reaching the rest of Canada."
Hogan told reporters Wednesday there's no reason for anyone to leave New Brunswick or hesitate about coming here.
"I think we're welcoming in New Brunswick for all cultures and all identities," he said.
"I don't see any evidence to counter that. … We want people to come to New Brunswick. We're on the move. This is the place to be."
Liberal Leader Susan Holt warned in the legislature Tuesday that the policy review would have "a chilling effect on our province's efforts in critical health recruitment, teacher retention and economic development."
Thursday afternoon, MLAs in the legislature will debate a Liberal motion calling for the government to revert to the original Policy 713.

Holt is hoping that some Progressive Conservative ministers and MLAs who expressed "extreme disappointment" with the policy review process last week will vote for the motion.
Scores of emails sent to politicians
But all elected members are also being vigorously lobbied by Action4Canada, a group Gaw founded in 2019.
CBC News has been copied on 138 emails to the province's MLAs since Sunday night.
Most of them use a template that thanks Premier Blaine Higgs for the decision and urges him to stand firm and also keep groups like Pride in Education out of the province's schools.

Action4Canada espouses views on issues such as climate change and COVID-19 vaccines that are at odds with established science and says the United Nations and the World Health Organization are pushing gender identification policies on schools around the world.
In January, Gaw was banned from making presentations to a B.C. school board after trustees declared her material to be misinformation.
The group has three New Brunswick chapters in Saint John, Fredericton and Woodstock.
Gaw would not say how many members she has but said the number "way surpasses" the number of emails sent to MLAs so far.
"We're Canada-wide. Our goal is to be in every town and community and build communities of like-minded people with these same concerns for our children."
She says the policy change in New Brunswick will be an encouraging signal to supporters in other provinces to lobby their governments.
She also hopes Higgs will go farther.
She calls Policy 713 "the first step" and points out some countries, and some American states, are banning hormone therapy, which can be part of gender transitioning.
Gaw says she "100 per cent, absolutely" wants New Brunswick to do that.
Hogan said Wednesday the government has no plans for more changes on LGBTQ policies "as far as I'm concerned."
The health department did not respond to a request for comment on its Medicare coverage of gender-confirming surgery and hormone treatment.
Hogan and Higgs have both said repeatedly that Policy 713 is an issue of parental notification and they will respect all LGBTQ rights.
But Hicks says they don't seem to understand that they're feeding a broader backlash.
"As soon as you open up a discourse about anything that affects rights of anybody in the LGBTQ community, you're opening that up as a possible discussion," they said.
Flaro said during a recent work trip to Calgary, she faced several questions about "why all these steps back" on Policy 713.
"We have to be so cautious as leaders when we're looking at policy changes, our communicated messages," said Flaro, who opted not to take the job offer outside New Brunswick.
Hicks started thinking about returning to the province during the pandemic when it was impossible to visit.
"It just hit me that family is important enough that I wanted to move back home," they said.
Now they put chances of that happening at about 40 per cent.
"And as I'm watching this, and getting sick to my stomach, and honestly losing sleep over this for the poor kids that they're targeting, I feel that it's dropping daily."

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.

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.
