393 viewsJul 15, 2023The Truth movement has become infiltrated by many videos and stories that are unfounded and lack the evidence to back and in an underlying whisper many good people are sharing this information thinking that they are helping others when in fact the opposite is happening. We are being played and the clarity of what we absorb is key as we move forward in the world’s greatest deception. We have to remain vigilant and call out the bullshit when we see it and as we say Believe Nothing and Question Everything
(Speaking to anyone who reads this comment.) The only "truth movement" that really matters, in context, is the movement in your own heart, mind and soul. The only work you have to do is the inner work. It's up to you to know yourself, and get your own shit together in order to change the world. That's the true occulted knowledge, the key to unlock the prison.
279 viewsJul 28, 2023You will not believe how corrupt Nova Scotia Premier and the Chief Medical Officer actually are. We discuss the ongoing trial of 2 innocent people singled out because they were exposing the wrongdoings of the Premier and Chief medical officer. Through Government files and freedom of information requests, we talk with Paul Westhaver who has been called as a key witness about what is really going on in this Canadian Province and how it should be an example to everyone on how we have the wrong people in high places of authority and how they abuse this

The Coutts 4, their Families, Margeret Granny Mackay and Friends of the Families are under attack from Jason Lavigne, Donald Best, Jeremy Mackenzie and Morgan May and their Internet Trolls. Divide and Conquer tactics as well as media manipulation seems to be their weapon of choice, similar to tactics our government partakes in.
Claiming to just be lowely ol " Podcasters", I believe a question or 2 need to be raised as to where their allegiances lie.
The following presentation gives irrefutable evidence to their guilt. I've packed 3 months of documents collected into an hour and 27 minutes so that all of you can get caught up to speed. The events that are taking place surrounding the Coutts 4 right now, will affect each and everyone of us in the future.
Please take the time to watch.

There’s only one side willing to speak to the other, and that other side is demanding Blind Faith.This man has done nothing but add to the defend. He is a coward incapable of speaking to those he disagrees with, I know because I’m blocked by him on Facebook and I never even talked to him before.
Thank you so much! I've followed Granny since she was having weiner roasts and seen the day she started pouring her heart into helping these falsely accused men. Thank you for exposing the snakes in the grass. I haven't been aware of the horrible actions against Granny until I seen you expose it. Again, Many Thanks!! My heart goes out to all!
Very biased, one-sided coverage of this evolving situation. The truth simply cannot matter to you if you aren’t interested in dialogue. This is poor journalism and character assassinations towards Jeremy. You refuse to correct the lies in the video in regards to Kaylene’s accounting and proved that there weren’t always double checks being done on cash donations, thus the distrust some citizens have with the original fundraising efforts.

People
are afraid of given money on these platforms as gvt knows where money
comes from and they could have their bank account frozen less donation
for sure. It woukd be nice
Seems
as though they want to stop the lads from getting out! Which is exactly
what Government wants, to keep them in, make an example out them. Never
heard of this Lavigne guy, or Donald, however I have had the
unfortunate opportunity to meet Mackenzie up close and personal. He
stayed at my house the might he arrived for the convoy. After the real
life meeting, and the lies, and terrible behavior I witnessed, I fully
believe he is controlled by the government. Not to mention has Ratted on
many people to the RCMP, and had one man in particular swatted. These
are terrible people, and they Definately have some sort of motive to do
this, government money more than likely.
I truly hope people can see through the BS these folks are spewing, and get back to supporting the lads.
Get
on Rumble, so your message can be heard far and wide! This watching on a
phone is bullsit. Rumble is the best platform, it can be watched on a
tv making your videos much more accessible
Everyone
is done with your baseless, word salad accusations. Time to show your
proof or apologize at this point. Your previous words have been proven
to be lies. Hearing more words would be foolish.
Does anyone even realize that we might have lost one of our Prophets along the way? This is Garnet Harper, murdered by our government who refused him a kidney, that his Brothrs were willing to give, because he was unvaccinated from the Covid Vaçine that has killed many. I love you Garnet, even tho I never met you. This is him on his deathbed still giving positive advise while his 5 children surround him. Thank you Amanda Wrigley for keeping his Spirit alive. He will not be fotgotten.
These are exerpts from Jason Lavingne's Linkedin page.
Jason Lavignde started his carrer working with Bill Gates and Microsoft, somehow gained contracts with the inner workings of everything in the Canadian government, and finalized his carreer with creating the program for all Canadians to work from home, before the pandemic started June of 2020, before coming a lowley ol Podcaster today. I'll link his Linkedin bio in comments so that you can see for yourself.
" End of the Coutts 4 Brand" to " you can now donate to them individually". This was his intention to seperate. Please take note of the 2 men with, and 2 men without.
The top one is the company logo of Jason Lavigne. Black & White Logic Inc
The Bottom is the Flag of Jeremy Mackenzie.
Both parties just conducted a coordinated effort to character assassinate someone very dear to us that is genuine, honest, trustworthy and an absolute gift from God, sent to watch over the Coutts 4.
What they have been planted into this situation to do was to divide the Coutts 4 because Trudeau needs one of these 4 to go down, to justify the Emerceny Act and to set precedent for all future fundraisers to have donor tracking so that government can freeze their accounts like The Convoy.
In the first 2 comments will be both sides of the story. Get caught up because this goes deeper than you think and is one of Canadas biggest fights right now.

I just called Jeremy Mackenzie (639 318 9073 and his lawyer Mr Foda AGAIN Correct?
I can confirm that Mr. Foda indicated he was Mackenzie's lawyer at the hearing I attended/ covered in 2022.
Beyond that: I do not know the status of Mr. Mackenzie's legal
situation, or who he may have representing him; his charges in
Saskatchewan were stayed earlier this year. I dont' have any further
knowledge of his legal situation beyond that.
Here is an article re: the charges being stayed. (I did not write
this/I did not attend this hearing, so cannot answer questions beyond
the information in this article.)
Diagolon leader Jeremy Mackenzie to challenge decision denying him bail
Bryn Levy | Posted: Oct. 28, 2022, 10:49 a.m.

arrested in September 2022 in Cole Harbour, N.S., on a Canada-wide

Jeremy MacKenzie, the founder of the online group “Diagolon” was
arrested in September 2022 in Cole Harbour, N.S., on a Canada-wide
warrant related to charges stemming from an alleged Nov. 2021 assault
near Viscount, Sask. - Jeremy MacKenzie / Facebook
The leader of a Canadian far-right group is set to challenge a judge’s
decision to keep him in custody while awaiting trial.
Jeremy Mackenzie, 36, faces assault and weapons charges in connection
with an incident near Viscount, Sask. in November 2021.
He was denied bail on Oct. 7 by a Saskatoon provincial court judge.
The reasons for that decision are protected by a court-ordered
publication ban, which is a standard measure in most bail proceedings
meant to protect an accused’s right to a fair trial.
Mackenzie’s previous defence lawyer was granted leave to withdraw on
Oct. 13, after telling court he’d been fired.
At Thursday’s hearing, Toronto-based defence lawyer Sherif Foda
indicated he will represent Mackenzie, and that his client will seek a
review of the Oct. 7 bail decision. Mackenzie is due back in court
Nov. 10.
Court previously heard there is an ongoing investigation into how
audio recordings from Mackenzie’s bail hearing found their way online
in violation of the publication ban — an offence punishable by up to
two years in jail and a $5,000 fine.
Mackenzie is the self-proclaimed leader of Diagolon, a group described
in a 2022 House of Commons report as a violent extremist organization.
Its name refers to a fictional country comprised of provinces and
states without COVID-19 mandates, forming a diagonal line across North
America.
He is also charged with harassment and intimidation in connection with
an anti-mask protest outside the home of Nova Scotia’s chief medical
health officer in March, and faces 13 firearm-related charges in Nova
Scotia after a police search in January.
RCMP have said they are also reviewing an allegation that Mackenzie
made rape threats against Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre’s wife
during a livestream video in September.
There has also been suggestion of a link between Diagolon and the case
of four men charged with conspiracy to commit murder after a February
RCMP raid against an anti-mandate blockade of a Canada-U.S. border
crossing at Coutts, Alta.
Mounties reported seizing items including 13 long guns, handguns, a
machete, a large quantity of ammunition and body armour. A tactical
vest seized at the scene had a Diagolon patch on it — a white diagonal
line across a black rectangle. The four suspects are scheduled for
trial in 2023.
Sherif M. Foda is a criminal defence lawyer who fights for his
clients. His work largely consists of complex crimes, with an emphasis
on large-scale project prosecutions for drug, gun, and violent
offences. He regularly defends people alleged to have ties with
criminal organizations, and conducts both trials and appeals at all
levels of court in Canada.
Sherif also practices regulatory law, having represented people
charged with various provincial offences. He has both represented

On November 6, 1984, John Buchanan’s Progressive Conservatives won
election, leading to the third (of four) successive PC majority
governments.
Stephen Kimber once explained Buchanan’s government as follows:
The Tories? Lest we forget… In his tell-almost-all 1993 book, Bagman,
former Tory fundraiser Donald Ripley fills page after page with various
and sundry shenanigans, including the details of how John Buchanan’s
Tories raised cash during their years in office.
John Buchanan
He recalled one incident involving
prominent Halifax developer Ralph Medjuck. Medjuck, Ripley says, showed
up at his office with a cheque for $40,000 to help deal with a “small
financial crisis” at party headquarters. The original cheque wasn’t made
out to the party, but to Ripley himself, meaning it wouldn’t be
recorded on the party’s books.
Medjuck, who was a friend of Regan and a
former law partner of Buchanan’s and contributed to both parties, did
rather well by the provincial government, no matter which party was
“in.” During Buchanan’s last two years in office, for example, Medjuck’s
companies earned close to $14-million just for renting out office space
to the government.
During the mid-1980s, another company
owned by a group of well-connected Tories—including Ian Thompson, the
province’s recently appointed “ambassador” to Ottawa — landed a
lucrative, risk-free deal to build the Nova Scotia Liquor Commission’s
new warehouse and head office in the Bayer’s Lake Industrial Park, even
though the company wasn’t the low bidder for the job. The Tory-appointed
liquor commission went ahead with the deal despite the objections of
its own consultants, who pointed out it would cost $1.3 million less for
the government to build the building itself — and the province would
own the asset too.
Afterwards, a few of the company’s
directors—most of whom were Tory contributors—confessed they’d been
“leaned on” to make more contributions to a secret party trust fund set
up to supplement Buchanan’s premier’s salary. One even said one of those
doing the leaning had “hinted” at a connection between the contract and
the donation request.
By the way, it may be of interest to
note that we’re still paying the price for that liquor commission deal —
more than a million dollars every year on a lease that runs until 2011.
The Buchanan scandals became public knowledge when, in 1990, a former
civil servant named Michael Zareski was called before the legislature’s
Public Accounts committee to discuss government leases. As Kimber
explained in a 1991 Daily News column:
For [Zareski], in fact, the issue had been largely personal, and his motive, at least at the beginning, was revenge.
Members of the Buchanan government had
been quietly spreading stories about him among his friends, former
colleagues and members of the media: about his mental state, about his
religious beliefs, about the circumstances of his divorce, and about how
and why he had left his job as the deputy minister of government
services.
When he was called to testify before
the legislature’s public accounts committee, Zareski says now, he
decided his response to the rumors and innuendo would be to simply
answer any question anyone asked “fully and factually.” As the top civil
servant in a department that bought $50 million worth of supplies and
services each year, Zareski knew where to find the skeletons in the
government’s patronage closet.
“I was expecting questions on the
leases (of government office space) and I decided I would tell
everything I knew about that, and if they asked me anything else, I’d
tell them that too.
[…]
Two months after Zareski told the
public accounts committee about what he described as a patronage network
centred in then-premier John Buchanan’s office, Buchanan resigned and
accepted a Senate appointment.
The scandal so tainted Buchanan — who
had not only just won his fourth straight provincial election but who
was also widely regarded as the epitome of honesty and integrity — that
he could not even return home to open a shopping centre in his own
riding without risking verbal abuse and public humiliation from his
former constituents.
[…]
Since Zareski first dropped his
bombshell on the public accounts committee, there has been a seemingly
endless torrent of other minor and major scandals, revelations and
allegations that have only served to confirm the general truth of
Zareski’s allegation that Nova Scotia politics is a patronage cesspool.
Among the many allegations:
• that government workers painted the
premier’s cottage, possibly working on government time and using
government-supplied materials;
• that a friend of the premier was paid
$50,000 to be a “paper” president of a government-owned masonry company
and then demanded $30,000 more to relinquish control of the firm;
• that other friends of the premier sold 200 motorized toilet seats to the government that have never been used;
• that Buchanan himself received at least $588,000 from a secret Conservative party fund to supplement his salary;
• that friends of the premier set up another secret trust fund worth between $300,000 and $400,000 to help pay off his debts;
• that at least one local businessman
involved in a controversial but highly lucrative deal to build
a liquor commission warehouse for the provincial government — Fred Green
— was “leaned on” to contribute to the trust fund.
An RCMP investigation into the secret fund found that it contained $431,290, but issued a statement
that “There is no evidence established to support any criminal
wrongdoing by Senator Buchanan,” because this is Nova Scotia, and no one
is ever held responsible for anything.
Wait a minute… what about those toilet seats?
Randy Richmond and Tom Villemaire wrote about the toilet seats in their book Colossal Canadian Failures:
Moving
in the highest of circles, Buchanan has heard of a new kind of toilet
seat, one that would rid the world of germs. So he had a top civil
servant, Michael Zareski, the deputy minister of government services,
investigate.
There are such
things, Zareski reported back. But, he added, they are not practical.
Oh, grey thinking civil servant! Oh, dull pusher of paper! Surely those
who sit all day could appreciate clean toilet seats.
Buchanan knew better. Buchanan was a man of the people. He had not served as Conservative premier since 1978 for nothing.
Get the seats! Buchanan demanded.
Why don’t we try a few experimental seats, the ordinary-thinking Zareski suggested.
Get them all, his leader said.
Shouldn’t we at least read some studies about the seats, Zareski asked.
Get the seats! The people need the toilet seats! Buchanan insisted.
So Zareski signed the purchase order and the 250 seats arrived.
And
what seats they were. Each one boasted a storage compartment containing
plastic seat covers and a motor. At the push of a button, the motor
removed one plastic seat cover and spewed out a new one. Each person, at
each sitting, got his or her hygienic toilet seat cover.
The
government was pleased and ordered the seats be placed throughout its
buildings and in Halifax hospitals. Once the citizens knew
they were forever relieved of germs, they would demand more of the
electronic seats.
Alas, more
bureaucrats stepped in. The provincial health department told the
government to sit on the plan. Distributing the electronic germ-stoppers
could heighten fears that AIDS could be transmitted through toilet
seats — a common misconception at the time. So the devices were tucked
away.
Reporters continued to track the journey of the toilet seats. “Those motorized toilet seats just keep going and going and going,” wrote David Rosenhiser in the Daily News on July 29, 1992:
They cost the Nova Scotia taxpayers
$50,000 — that’s $250 each — when the province bought them in 1988 from
Bobby and Murdock Cranston, friends of then-premier John Buchanan.
The seats were never installed in
government offices and ended up collecting dust in a warehouse until
they were auctioned off in Milton, Ont., on July 16.
The government reportedly paid $398 to
ship the seats to Headline Industries, an auction house just outside of
Toronto. The company then auctioned them off for a $60 fee.
To add insult to injury, the seats,
which have embarrassed the Tories for years, sold for only $300 — less
than it cost the government to have them shipped and auctioned.
Frank Morse, owner of Stetson
Equipment, bought the seats for just $1.50 each. He’s already agreed to
resell them for more than $10 each.
In a turn of events rivalling the trade
dispute over hockey player Eric Lindros, metro entrepreneur Bill Mont
said he had made a deal with Morse to buy the seats for $2,000, but
Morse sold them to another man for more money.
“I’m very frustrated,” Mont said yesterday.
Bobby Cranston, the purveyor of the toilet seats, was in 1999 busted
for shoplifting a pair of reading glasses at a Shoppers Drug Mart, and
fined 1,000 bucks.
As for Zareski, in 1991 Kimber wrote:
Michael Zareski
“A lady stopped me on the street
recently,” [said Zareski.] “She said I just wanted to meet you and let
you know you are speaking for the silent majority in this province.”
Adds Zareski: “I sense a real change in the public mind about what they
want from their politicians.”
But that changed public mind hasn’t
improved Zareski’s personal fortunes. He remains unemployed. “I did look
for work until recently but it’s pointless. The Buchanan government
dragged my name through the mud, and the Tory influence is still there
when I look for a job.”
In fact, the man who has done more to
change the course of Nova Scotia politics during the past year concedes
he’s broke. “The only reason I was able to talk to you today,” he
explains from his Cape Breton home as our interview ends, “is because
you called me. I haven’t been able to pay the phone bill for a while,
and now the service is cut off for anything but incoming calls.”
Twenty-four years later, Zareski’s LinkedIn page still expresses his anger about how he was treated:
My career began in 1972 as an engineer
with the Nova Scotia Department of Public Works. Over the years the
Department amalgamated with a number of other functional areas and
became the Department of Government Services to which I was appointed
the first Executive Director of Design and Construction and then Deputy
Minister responsible for the management and administration of the
activities of the department through the provision of common services to
all provincial government departments in the areas of design and
construction, property and operations, systems and computers, and
printing and publishing. I was an idealist believing that as a public
servant my job was to serve the public, however my political masters
felt that my job was to serve them first and that they would determine
what was best for the public. These two positions were irreconcilable
and my time in government came to an end.
I have Ripley’s book and sometimes page through it to remind myself just how badly governments can behave.
According to a statement released by the provincial Progressive Conservative caucus, Buchanan died Thursday. He was 88. (CBC)
John Buchanan was an era-ending politician in Nova Scotia. There may have been others like him before, but none since.
The days of party dynasties ended with Buchanan and so too did pervasive patronage.
In
government, he was rightly known a spender. Twenty-nine years after his
departure from Nova Scotia politics, there are public buildings across
the province adorned with plaques bearing the name of Premier John
Buchanan. It was a time of new schools and hospitals.
His decision to use coal to generate electricity is with us every time we switch on a light.
The Michelin bill and why it matters
Arguably
the most significant piece of legislation during Buchanan's time as a
lawmaker came in his first term when his government passed the so-called
Michelin Bill, which has helped keep the French tire maker union-free
for 40 years.
The law required a union to sign up all three
Michelin plants in Nova Scotia in order to unionize. Every union drive
since the bill passed in 1979 has failed.
The
law outraged organized labour, but four decades on the Michelin plants
in Bridgewater, Granton and Waterville are still operating while much of
Nova Scotia's industrial base long ago hollowed out.
With 3,200
employees, Michelin is the province's largest private-sector employer
with exports to the U.S. valued at more than a billion dollars.
The legendary campaigner
John
Buchanan is the last premier to win four majority governments in a
row. A feat his successors have not and may never repeat.
The
wins were partly timing — three came as tides were running against the
Liberals nationally. But he was also a superb campaigner in touch with
the Nova Scotia sensibility.
His signature image was standing in
Halifax's Armdale rotary after an election win with a "thank you" sign
beside his wife Mavis, waving to passing commuters.
Buchanan served as the premier from 1978 to 1990, the fourth-longest serving premier in the province's history. (CBC)
His
final victory in 1988 was an improbable comeback that cemented his
legend as a political winner. It was also an election he may have been
better off losing, at least in terms of his reputation.
Already
beset by scandal, Buchanan personally pushed his party over the top by
the force of his sunny personality — the campaign highlight was Buchanan
singing the Cape Breton standard "Out on the Mira."
Less
remembered, but just as typical, was the way the campaign started. He
appointed a sitting New Democrat MLA to a judgeship and the Buchanan's
Progressive Conservative party picked up the seat.
The darker side
of the Buchanan government exploded in public view on June 13, 1990,
when Michael Zareski, a former deputy minister of government, appeared
before the legislature's Public Accounts Committee. Although no one
realized it at the time, it was a day that would change Nova Scotia
politics.

In
devastating testimony, Zareski detailed corruption and cronyism
throughout the Buchanan government. More embarrassing revelations would
ensue, including the existence of a secret trust fund that paid off
Buchanan's debts while he was premier.
There were RCMP
investigations. Buchanan was never charged, but others were. By then he
was in the Senate, appointed there by Prime Minister Brian Mulroney to
help pass the GST.
Buchanan was hardly the first to practise wholesale patronage in Nova Scotia. But he was the last. The era ended with him.
Paul
Withers is an award-winning journalist whose career started in the
1970s as a cartoonist. He has been covering Nova Scotia politics for
more than 20 years.
This
past week, the CBC's Jean Laroche got a message that piqued his
interest. A tantalizing trophy for sale; a reminder of the pitfalls of
politics. This toilet seat became the bane of John Buchanan's
government.
Educating
the public on the benefits of electing a trusted person in their
community to represent them as an independent MLA in the NS Legislature.
The Independent NS Initiative is comprised of a group of concerned
citizens committed to educating voters about the electoral process,
with a focus on independent candidates for election as Members of the
Legislative Assembly (MLA) across NS, in the next election. We are not a
political party. Nor, are we associated with any political party. We
exist simply to:
educate voters about a ‘new way to vote’
to help communities recruit an Independent Candidate to represent them
to offer guidance to communities on running town hall meetings
and to provide Independent Candidates with information about their MLA career.
Independent NS was founded because 45% of voters did not vote in the
last provincial election. That is almost 350 thousand voters; people who
lost faith in the democratic system because it no longer represented
them.
The founding directors of the Independent NS Initiative Peter Mac
Isaac, Paul Westhaver, and Michael Zareski extend an invitation to every
Nova Scotian to join a movement to change the political governance
model from the top-down authoritative control through the party system
to a bottom-up citizen control through ongoing and meaningful grass
roots participation.
Peter has dedicated over 30 years of his life protecting the Nova
Scotia ecosystem as a provincial game warden, forest fire fighter and
wildlife specialist and has produced three seasons of a popular
international fishing and hunting television series. His expertise and
experience as a certified firearms and survival expert, owner and
operator of a film production company, and a law enforcement officer are
valuable assets to the movement. Running unsuccessfully for the NS
Progressive Conservative Party in 2012 and serving as a past president
of the federal Conservative Party Halifax West he gained insight into
the broken political system. Peter is deeply concerned over the
corruption and incompetence in the failed party system and the planned
destruction of our country. He is taking a stand and will not back down.
Paul’s involvement with the movement came as a result of earlier
investigations into the temperament of the people of Nova Scotia
regarding the state of party-oriented management system. A solution
oriented Professional Engineer with a broad career exposure, he is
dedicated to process analysis, improvement, and renewal. He sees the
current state of affairs of the Nova Scotia governance model as
antiquated and designed to enable corruption to the point where popular
apathy is essential to maintaining the rigid, top-down party system, a
party system where the parties are for all practical purpose indistinct
from each other.
Michael, the former Deputy Minister of the Department of
Government Services for the Province Nova Scotia whose bombshell
testimony at a Public Accounts Committee in 1990 and subsequent
revelations which confirmed that Nova Scotia politics was a patronage
cesspool resulted in the resignation of both the sitting Premier and his
Minister of Health. Not only did he turn the modus operandi of the
Conservative party on its head leading to its fall from power, he was an
anathema to all political parties as they all operated the same way.
Michael’s exposure of corruption resulted in the establishment of
sweeping reforms leading to more openness and transparency in the way
government operates. He knows firsthand the price to be paid for
speaking truth to power and continues to be dedicated to the cause of
honesty, integrity, and transparency in government.
We are routinely asked “How can an independent get anything done?”
The answer is a simple one. Currently the province is hostage to a party
that is in place with only 38% of the approval of those who actually
voted. That party has a 32 seat majority with seven of them being won
by slim margins. The opposition controls 23 seats. As few as 5 more
independents could currently push the government into a minority
position where they can no longer run roughshod over the other MLA’s and
would be forced to collaborate and concede to the wishes of the rest of
the province. As few as ten independents in the next election
responsible only to those who elected them can decisively give the power
back to the people where it belongs, dramatically changing our broken
political landscape. Power no longer in the hands of broken parties run
by tyrants who are controlled by back room unelected appointed people
you don’t know and never see.
Independent NS offers educational materials to people in all
constituencies of NS, along with a template to help and encourage them,
to look for a worthy candidate to represent them, and only them, in the
NS Legislature. Independent representatives will have a free vote on all
new laws, not restricted to voting as they are told how to vote by the
party whip and leader. They can table legislation that helps all of us
without biased party approval. Ideas like recall for lying to
constituents routinely and removing pensions for politicians after two
years of service for starters have already been suggested.
They will be able to work collaboratively with all other independent
MLA’s to come to consensus focused on what the VOTERS actually want, not
what a party leader dictates. People no longer want to be held hostage
by top-down governance, where politicians only meet with the public at
election time, then, after the polls close, introduce all kinds of laws
the public never heard of, nor supports and the voters are currently
powerless to stop from being jammed down their throats.
Join us in this Grass Roots Initiative from the bottom up, as we
spread the word about a “New Way to Vote…. Electing trusted persons in
our communities to represent us as Independent MLA’s in the NS
Legislature. Building Collaborative Independent Voices for all 55 NS
Ridings.
Independent Candidates
These are candidates that have registerd as "Independents" with Elections Nova Scotia.
Elizabeth Smith-McCrossin
Cumberland North
Concerned that our towns, cities, families and livelihoods are being
“utterly destroyed by governments of all parties,” Elizabeth decided to
run as an Independent MLA in the next provincial election.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE December 1st, 2023 AMHERST, NS –
In recognition of the National Day of Remembrance and Action On Violence
Against Women, Cumberland North MLA Elizabeth Smith-McCrossin has
organized an event intended to support survivors of sexual assault and
family violence. Fearless: Stand In Your Truth will be held on
Wednesday, December 6, 2023 at Christ Church, 5 Lawrence Street, from
6:30 to 8:30 pm.
“Fearless takes a sobering look at gender-based and family violence by
providing a forum for sharing and discussion while, more importantly,
looking for ways to empower and encourage positive change,” said
Smith-McCrossin. “Last year’s Fearless event was very powerful and we
want to once again give an opportunity for those who choose to share
their own experiences to do so and also provide a safe space for
reflection and encouragement.
” As part of the evening’s program, special recognition will be made of
the dedicated teams at Autumn House, Maggie’s Place and the Zonta Club
who work with women, men and their families who have experienced
intimate partner violence. “We want these folks to know how grateful our
community is for everything they do.
” Those attending are also welcome to the new-to-you clothing, jewelry,
purses, etc. (including items for children) as part of “Kait’s Sharing
Closet”. Following the presentations, everyone will have the opportunity
to browse the items (at no cost) and find something new to brighten
their wardrobe. Anyone who would like to donate items is welcome to do
so by contacting the MLA’s Office at 902-661-2288 or by dropping them
off to 5 Ratchford Street.
NDA’s – Non-Disclosure Acts should not be used in cases of Sexual Assualt
Bills on this topic have been tabled in the NS Legislature by Claudia
Chender, leader of the NDP and myself and debated by all opposition
members. The current government is refusing to ban the use of NDAs in
cases of sexual assault. In the Legislature's spring session, they even
tabled a motion to remove me as MLA for Cumberland North from the
Legislature after debating the use of NDAs in cases of sexual assault.
This motion (no.598) to undemocratically remove me continues to sit on
the order paper. I believe it is unconstitutional and am challenging
this in court. A court hearing is scheduled for Thursday, December 7th, at 9:30 am in the Amherst court.
Sexual assault is wrong. If we are to make changes, a light must be
shone on this issue of misuse of NDAs. We must stop the culture of
silencing victims and empowering perpetrators.
This past week Erin Casey and Wendy Carroll spoke to a closed session of
the UPEI board of governors. Erin Casey read a prepared statement about
the women's experiences since making allegations of sexual harassment
against former UPEI president Alaa Abd-El-Aziz in 2012. For more
information:
I was pleased to see the Nova Scotia Federation of Labour come out in
support of banning the use of NDAs in cases of sexual assault this week.
For more info please go to this link:
When the person causing abuse
(sexual or in any other form of abuse) is in a position of power, as
they often are, it can seem like an impossible situation.
We must never lose sight of doing what is right.
We must never be complicit and turn the other way when we know a wrong is being committed.
Let each of us Stand Fearless in the face of abuse and never stop working to end it, in all of its forms.

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

>>>> 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

>>>>
>>>>
>>>> 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

>>>> [footnotes omitted].
>>>>
>>>>
>>>> [30] The Judge determined that he could not strike the Claim

>>>>

> An RCMP security detail has been guarding Justice Minister and
> Attorney General T.J. Burke because of threats made against him
> recently.
>
> Burke, the Liberal MLA for Fredericton-Fort Nashwaaksis, wouldn't
> explain the nature of the threats.
>
> "I have had a particular individual or individuals who have made
> specific overtures about causing harm towards me," he told reporters
> Wednesday.
>
> "The RCMP has provided security to me recently by accompanying me to a
> couple of public functions where the individual is known to reside or
> have family members in the area," said Burke. "It is nice to have some
> added protection and that added comfort."
>
> The RCMP provides protection to the premier and MLAs with its VIP security unit.
>
> Burke didn't say when the threat was made but it's believed to have
> been in recent weeks.
>
> "When a threat is posed to you and it is a credible threat, you have
> to be cautious about where you go and who you are around," he said.
> "But again, I am more concerned about my family as opposed to my own
> personal safety."
>
> Burke said he doesn't feel any differently and he has not changed his
> pattern of activity.
>
> "It doesn't bother me one bit," he said. "It makes my wife feel awful nervous."
>
> Burke served in an elite American military unit before becoming a
> lawyer and going into politics in New Brunswick.
>
> "(I) have taken my own precautions and what I have to do to ensure my
> family's safety," he said. "I am a very cautious person in general due
> to my background and training.
>
> "I am comfortable with defending myself or my family if it ever had to happen."
>
> Burke said it is not uncommon for politicians to have security concerns.
>
> "We do live unfortunately in an age and in a society now where threats
> have to be taken pretty seriously," he said.
>
> Since the terrorism attacks in the United States on Sept. 11, 2001,

>
> Metal detectors were recently installed in the legislature and all

>
> The position of attorney general is often referred to as the

>
> Burke said sometimes people do not differentiate between his role as
> the manager of the justice system and the individual who actually
> prosecutes them.
>
> "With the job sometimes comes threats," he said. "I have had numerous
> threats since Day 1 in office."
>
> Burke said he hopes his First Nations heritage has nothing to do with it.
>
> "I think it is more of an issue where people get fixated on a matter
> and they believe you are personally responsible for assigning them
> their punishment or their sanction," he said.
>
> Is the threat from someone who was recently incarcerated?
>
> "I probably shouldn't answer that," he replied.
>
> Reporters asked when the threat would be over.
>
> "I don't think a threat ever passes once it has been made," said
> Burke. "You have to consider the credibility of the source."

The
Fifth Estate conducts a comprehensive inquiry into the 13 hours of
mayhem that constitute one of Canada's deadliest events. We hear from
families of many of the 22 victims, and the terrible final moments their
loved ones faced. Many questions remain about how the RCMP responded to
the situation, and whether enough was done to protect the community. In
one case, we show the RCMP was told of the presence of the shooter in a
police cruiser hours before they acknowledged knowing this information.
The piece explores the red flags police knew about with respect to the
shooter, and presents a critical analysis of what went wrong on that
April weekend.

Trudeau fellowships are, I believe, awarded to the top candidates who
apply for PhD funding to SSHRC each year (which most institutions make
mandatory.) I say that just to say it is a research award more than a
political affiliation, although certainly raises questions whether
it’s ever appropriate to name research fellowships after political
figures. And they def try to network with the researchers etc.

Trudeau fellowships are, I believe, awarded to the top candidates who
apply for PhD funding to SSHRC each year (which most institutions make

political affiliation, although certainly raises questions whether
it’s ever appropriate to name research fellowships after political
figures. And they def try to network with the researchers etc.
