The
Australian Foreign Editor Greg Sheridan says New Zealand is “going back
to reality” after the “long, bad dream of Jacinta Ardern” following the
country publicly announcing China was behind a cyber-attack.
New Zealand is the latest country to confirm it has fallen victim to a Chinese state-sponsored cyber-attack.
“It’s
a fascinating story … it seems that there was a cyber intrusion a
couple of years ago, which the New Zealanders have only just now
attributed to China,” Mr Sheridan told Sky News Australia.
“It
takes quite a long time to get to a point where you’re confident in
your attribution, and you’ve got to check it with your allies and so
forth.
“Now,
I think they knew about it when Wong Yi [the Chinese Foreign Minister]
was in New Zealand but chose not to raise it with him – that’s a sign of
weakness.
“The
fact that they’re speaking out at all and naming China publicly –
that’s a sign of growing strength in New Zealand and a little bit of
strategic reorientation.
“They’re going back to reality after the long, bad dream of Jacinta Ardern.”
Here
in Canada we are encountering a long bad dream with Trudeau, a
significant majority of Canadians want him to resign but his arrogance
is overwhelming.
A Primer On Espionage | Canadian Foreign Intelligence Service | Episode 1
Nov 9, 2018
Stephen Harper's former national security adviser, Richard
Fadden, joins CPAC's Peter Van Dusen to discuss the Tony Clement
scandal, and the implications it could have for national security.
Chinese
President Xi Jinping chastised Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau
at the G-20 summit on Wednesday for leaking details of a prior meeting
during which Trudeau expressed concern about Chinese interference in
domestic affairs. (Nov. 17)
Newspapers
around the world are these days commenting on the disgrace of Chinese
leader Bo Xilai with whom several Canadian politicians and businessmen,
primarily the Desmarais family, had close ties.
Under
the title “The fall of a friend of Canada”, the newspaper La Presse, in
its Saturday, April 14 edition, briefly recalls these relationships
forged over many years with the leaders of Power Corporation and
politicians like Jean Chrétien.
A chapter of our most recent book Quebec and the new international situation was devoted to these relations between the Desmarais, Canada and China. We reproduce it below. You can purchase the book by clicking here .
CSIS, China and the Desmarais
During the month of July 2010, the Canadian English
press became passionate about the Richard Fadden affair, named after the
director of CSIS, the Canadian intelligence service, who, during a
interview with the CBC the day before the arrival on Canadian soil of
Chinese President Hu Jintao for the G-20 Summit, suggested that two
provincial ministers and municipal councilors were under "influence of a
foreign country", read the China. His comments created a certain unease
within the Chinese community and embarrassed the Harper government
which, after initially being very lukewarm towards China, is now making
it a priority for the Canada's trade relations, given the difficulties
caused by the country's main economic partner, the United States.
Richard Fadden subsequently “nuanced” his remarks, but it is still
difficult to explain such an outing, given that he is not a neophyte in
matters of intelligence. Before joining CSIS, he held similar positions
in the Privy Council – the Prime Minister's department. It would
therefore be wrong to blame his intervention on “clumsiness” or
“incompetence”. A similar outing by the former director of GRC, Giulano
Zaccardelli, during the Jean Chrétien era, is very instructive in this
regard.
A stunning statement
In his book Dispersing the Fog, Inside the secret world of Ottawa and the RCMP , journalist Paul Palango, former national editor of the Globe and Mail
, recounts that, five days after his appointment by Jean Chrétien,
Giulano Zaccardelli declared to a stunned press : “For the first time in
this country, we are seeing signs of criminal organizations so
sophisticated that they seek to destabilize aspects of our society.
These are criminal organizations seeking to destabilize our
parliamentary system. Some journalists, Palango says, knew he was
referring to Project Sidewinder
, a joint RCMP-CSIS investigation undertaken eight years earlier
following the discovery of irregularities at the Canadian consulate in
Hong Kong. Investigators had become interested in links between the
Chinese government, Chinese criminal triads and certain influential
Canadian businessmen and politicians. When Chrétien (who was attending
the Millennium Summit at United Nations headquarters in New York) was
told about Zaccardelli's comments, he became furious, Palango said. He
knew what Zaccardelli was referring to and it was far from enchanting
him.
The circumstances of Zaccardelli's appointment
However,
Zaccardelli was to be Chrétien's right-hand man at the head of the
RCMP. The latter had just appointed him to replace Philip Murray,
dismissed because Chrétien had held him personally responsible for the
assassination attempt of which he had been the victim, when a man named
André Dallaire had entered 24 Sussex Drive in the middle of night with a
knife. Only the presence of mind of Aline Chrétien, the Prime
Minister's wife, had prevented the assassin from taking action. Having
woken up with a start and seeing the intruder in the corridor, she
quickly closed and locked the bedroom doors. Contacted by Aline, the
RCMP agents, who were supposed to monitor the Prime Minister's
residence, took seven long minutes before intervening. The Canadian and
Quebec media made fun of the incident – with caricatures of Jean
Chrétien holding an Inuit statuette – but the Chrétien couple were not
laughing.
In his Memoirs ( How it works in Ottawa
, Fides, 2007), Eddie Goldenberg, one of Jean Chrétien's main advisors,
attaches great importance to the event. He recalls that the Saturday
following the 1995 referendum, Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin was
assassinated. The same evening, while he accompanied Chrétien by car to
the Prime Minister's residence at 24 Sussex, the latter confided his
anxieties to him: " After all the emotion caused in Quebec by the referendum, I could be next after Rabin . » Accompanied home in the Prime Minister's car, Goldenberg then calls out to the RCMP agent who serves as Chrétien's driver: “ Did you hear the Prime Minister? He seems worried about his safety. » Also, Goldenberg finds it “ absolutely incredible
” that the RCMP officers not only did not intercept the individual, but
that they took seven long minutes, after being alerted, to rush to
arrest him. We would have liked to give the assassin time to carry out
his crime; we would not have acted otherwise, we might add...
The next day, the RCMP issued a press release which
Goldenberg told us was not intended than deceive the public and minimize
the event. It was a furious Christian who summoned journalists to tell
them that the individual was a sovereignist desperate to have lost the
referendum. But the media instead adopted the RCMP's point of view and
the editorialists and cartoonists took full advantage of it. Goldenberg
says that the Chrétien couple were traumatized for a long time by this
event.
To our knowledge, no one has attempted to measure the
political consequences that the assassination of Jean Chrétien would
have had. Occurring barely a week after the October 1995 referendum,
when many in English Canada held Chrétien responsible for the near
failure, the assassination of the Prime Minister by a Quebecer
presenting himself as a nationalist, would have caused a major crisis –
of the same magnitude as the October Crisis – at a time when English
Canada firmly believed that Lucien Bouchard, who had just succeeded
Jacques Parizeau as Prime Minister of Quebec, would quickly call
elections and another referendum, winning this one there.
But
that's another story. Let's return to Zaccardelli whom Jean Chrétien
had appointed, bypassing the RCMP hierarchy, on the express
recommendation of Aline Chrétien who believed that the appointment of a
Canadian of Italian origin would consolidate the support of the
electorate of this ethnic community to the Liberal Party. But what
troubled Chrétien so much about Zaccardelli's statements to journalists?
The Sidewinder Project
Jean Chrétien knew full well that Zaccardelli was referring to Project Sidewinder and that the Canadian businessmen in the RCMP's sights were the Desmarais of Power Corporation , to whom he was politically and personally linked, his daughter having married André Desmarais. In These spies from elsewhere. Investigation into espionage activities in Canada
(Stanké), authors Fabrice de Pierrebourg and Michel Juneau-Katsuya
recall that the Desmarais family has been courting China for several
decades, where it has considerable interests, and that the liberal
government of Jean Chrétien made trade with China its number 1 priority.
This was not without links, they point out, with the fact that, since
1997, “André Desmarais, of Power Corporation , had the rare privilege for a Westerner to become member of the board of directors of CITIC Pacific ( China International Trust Investment Company )”.
Based
in Hong Kong, CITIC is a powerful and sprawling Chinese conglomerate
founded in October 1979 under the leadership and with the blessing of
the Chinese Communist Party. According to de Pierrebourg and
Juneau-Katsuya, CITIC “does business directly or indirectly in several
areas, from real estate to transport, including telecommunications and
even armaments via China Poly Group, itself a satellite company of the
People's Liberation Army. CITIC, assert several specialists, would also
be an extraordinary den of intelligence officers. " According to them,
Operation Sidewinder
"has, for the first time, exposed the considerable efforts made by
China to infiltrate, and eventually plunder, the Canadian economy."
“Even more worrying,” they add, “the CSIS and RCMP investigators
mobilized by this project since May 1996 demonstrated the existence of
an alliance formed for the occasion by an infernal trio: Chinese secret
services, mafia triads and Chinese businessmen.
De Pierrebourg and Juneau-Katsuya state, citing a CSIS
study, that Canada loses “annually between 10 and 12 billion dollars due
to economic and industrial espionage. » In their book, they reveal that
China has more than one hundred and twenty diplomats stationed in
Canada, twice as many as in the United States and that, unlike the
United States, Great Britain and Australia where “there is an average of
one case per month of Chinese economic or industrial espionage filed
before the courts, never in Canada has a single person been accused of
this illicit activity. » This could be explained by the pressure exerted
by MPs and ministers responsible for courting the Chinese-Canadian
electorate or by the heads of large companies or trade associations who
do business with China. This would also explain why the first Sidewinder report , whose title was Chinese Intelligence Services and Triads Financial Links in Canada , was simply thrown in the trash in 1997. "Even today, maintain the authors of These Spies From Elsewhere , several people interviewed as part of our investigation and very familiar with the Sidewinder
file remain convinced that there was political interference at the
highest level to torpedo the report and discredit its authors. When we
ask them to clarify their thoughts, to cite names, they shut themselves
up in their silence. For fear of prosecution. It must be said that some
have paid dearly for their outspokenness, seeing their careers ruined. »
A Chrétien-Zaccardelli agreement
In Dispersing the Fog , Paul Palango puts forward a more precise hypothesis on the motives and circumstances of the scrapping of Project Sidewinder
. He claims that, during a heated meeting which followed the RCMP
director's statements, Zaccardelli and Chrétien reached an agreement.
The Sidewinder project was
ruled out, but Chrétien would not interfere in RCMP affairs, and
Zaccardelli would have a free hand. Some time after this meeting,
Zaccardelli will have approval from the Federal Treasury Board for the
purchase of a two-engine, nine-seat Piaggio P180 aircraft. The price of
this Italian plane for the personal needs of the head of the RCMP: $10
million. Zaccardelli will also spend $180,000 renovating his office,
including $42,000 for a bathroom with marble from Italy and a gold sink.
An additional $30,000 will be spent on the purchase of fine Natuzzi
leather furniture. The RCMP will also benefit from the sponsorship
program, as revealed by Auditor General Sheila Fraser. The intelligence
agency will illegally receive $3 million to celebrate its 125th anniversary
and another $1.7 million, paid into a non-governmental account, will be
used to rent a train to party in Quebec, on all with sumptuous meals
washed down with expensive wines.
Elevator return
But
Zaccardelli was a good player. During the 2005 federal election, he did
something very unusual. Responding to a request from a New Democrat MP,
he confirmed that the RCMP is conducting a criminal investigation into
Finance Minister Ralph Goodale regarding insider trading from which the
Liberals allegedly benefited, following tax changes made to trusts. The
news was a turning point in the election campaign. It precipitated the
fall of Paul Martin's Liberals and led to the victory of Stephen
Harper's Conservative Party, to the great satisfaction, according to
Palango, of Jean Chrétien who had never forgiven his successor for
having shown him the door, but especially for having dragged him through
the mud with the Gomery Commission on the sponsorship scandal.

Diplomacy of influence & foreign interference: Canadian policies oscillate between bad faith and naivety
This entry was posted on September 30, 2010,
Are
there, in the kingdom of the polar bear and maple syrup, Canadian
political authorities under the influence of foreign powers? The
subject, launched like a stone in the pond by Richard Fadden, head of the Canadian Intelligence and Security Service ( CSIS ), fueled many debates this summer. New revelations bring grist to his mill. Welcome to the world of influential diplomacy…
Recall of facts :
Fadden,
during an interview with the CBC, indicated that, according to his
information, members of provincial ministerial cabinets and certain
elected officials and civil servants would be under foreign influence,
particularly Chinese. He said this the day before the Chinese
president's visit to Canada. This is what is called having a sense of
timing... A part of the political class (NPD and Bloc Québécois in the
lead) then uttered wild cries and demanded, as a first action of public
safety... the resignation of the boss of the CSIS! They argued in
particular that he had said too much. In fact, it was better to
understand “not said enough”, because his assertions have since left
suspicion hovering over certain politicians with an immigration
background.
Few public figures supported Fadden at the time, apart from a few informed commentators and former Canadian intelligence professionals like Michel Juneau Kutsuya.
But now the situation seems to be changing with the testimony of Daniel Sweeney, published 5 days ago in the Vancouver Sun
... A long-time member of the Liberal Party of Quebec, he affirms that,
for years, there have been many different bodies foreign diplomats who
try to influence Canadian politics. And this, in such an intense and
aggressive manner that it is ultimately difficult to speak of “simple
diplomatic action”…
The backlash: the interest in knowing when playing in the big leagues…
Sweeney explains that a few years ago, when he was a member of the “cultural communities commission of the provincial Liberal party”
, he was asked to approach foreign diplomats in order to best develop
links with the communities. immigrants settled in Canada. It’s an
electoral calculation like any other. He says that, very quickly, he
received requests from the various diplomatic representations which were
not very typical. It was a question of changing the line of the liberal
party on certain points or of obtaining favors for the different
expatriate communities in Montreal. Particularly for the Russian
community. He was notably asked to support a special program for the
development of the Canadian North by the Russians (a subject far from
trivial ) or even to accelerate foreign investment processes in Quebec... He reports that he was repeatedly asked invariably: 'It's good for the Russian community…'
Worried
about ever more pressing requests, in 1996 he ended up reporting this
modus operandi to the services of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police
(RCMP) who would forward the file to the Canadian Intelligence and
Security Service (CSIS). For two years, Sweeney will then be regularly
debriefed by a CSIS agent, after each of his interviews with Russian
diplomats.
Severe
; where naivety and political correctness are disarming is when Christian Martin, former president of the party's cultural communities commission, confirms that if the Quebec Liberals did indeed have a policy of approaching foreign diplomats as part of their activities , “he nevertheless doubts that the members of his party have shown themselves vulnerable to foreign influence” . CSIS prefers not to comment on the matter…
(Real) manipulation explained to politicians
Chris Mathers , a former undercover RCMP
officer, points out in the Vancouver Sun article: the first step to
achieving your goals is to become friends with the target, especially at
social events. Then follow gifts and little touches. It then becomes
more difficult to say “no” to your new friends. He also specifies that
mafia circles do not do otherwise…
In the language of influence professionals, we call this manipulation via “rules of social reciprocity”
. The rule of reciprocity consists of striving to repay the benefits
received from others (services, gifts, etc.). This simple rule, with the
feeling of obligation that accompanies it, is remarkable above all for
its extension: no human society escapes it. In fact, this rule is the
basis of the principle of reciprocal altruism of evolutionary psychology
on which our societies based on cooperation are based. Reciprocity
therefore has sufficient force to produce a positive response to a
request which, without this induced feeling of obligation, would have
been rejected.
This form of manipulation also combines very well with a second one called “the foot in the door technique
”. Accepting a relatively small first request predisposes you to
accepting a second, more important one later. The technique applies
particularly well with a request of a pro-social nature. Helping others
or the community is the most flourishing sector of Pied-dans-la-porte.
Ah, but by the way, what were the Russian diplomats repeating to our
dear Sweeney? 'It's good for the Russian community...'
If
Sweeney made these statements, he said, it was to alert the authorities
and raise awareness among his colleagues. The federal Minister of Citizenship and Immigration Canada believes that it is not necessary to issue new rules to address the subject. Simple common sense would suffice.
Nothing
will change with the issuance of new written instructions, of course.
On the other hand, there is certainly a major awareness and training
effort for all people likely to be confronted with this type of
situation. Because not only is “common sense”
not always enough when dealing with experienced manipulators, but above
all, it prejudges that any elected official, party member or civil
servant is already equipped with the common sense in question…
Above
all, it seems desirable that part of the Canadian political class stop
burying its head in the sand and stop bashing CSIS when it does its job
correctly. We can well imagine that Fadden, who was not the last rain,
had weighed each of his words before giving himself a spectacle on the
CBC. And his timing undoubtedly corresponded to a political effect of
which he is the only one to know the real scope. Regardless, few
politicians have really wanted to tackle the subject in depth. Everyone
being busy howling with the wolves.
Some
stronger than others, moreover, since Maria Mouranie, elected from the
Bloc Québécois and spokesperson on Public Security issues, was the most
vehement towards Richard Fadden.
Where it starts to get interesting is when we learn that during the induction of M
ourani (who is of Lebanese origin) into
the House of Commons, no less than six ambassadors and three diplomats,
including those of Saudi Arabia, Yemen, the United Arab Emirates and
Turkey, were keen to mark this great event and attended his swearing-in
ceremony. The new MP said she was honored by this support and told them:
“I will listen to you” . The same source tells us that fifteen months later, during a dinner show in her honor, Mourani “warmly greeted all the people who have supported her in her action since her entry into the political arena”
, including diplomats from Turkey, Algeria and Lebanon… The photo below
speaks for itself. There seems to be a problem of legitimacy in his
positions against CSIS.
Anamnesis VS journalistic amnesia
The media also have a responsibility in this matter. While many echoed Fadden's summer statement, only two minor English-language
Canadian dailies made mention of Sweeney's testimony last week. More
troubling, the media seem to show amnesia in dealing with this type of
issue. Because in fact, there have already been serious precedents in
the 90s in Canada. This is what an article (which I highly recommend)
from L'aut' Journal reminds us . Excerpts:
In his book “Dispersing the Fog, Inside the secret world of Ottawa and the RCMP”
, journalist Paul Palango, former national editor of the Globe and
Mail, recounts that, five days after his appointment by Jean Chrétien,
Giulano Zaccardelli (at the then director of the RCMP) declared to a
stunned press: “For
the first time in this country, we are seeing signs of criminal
organizations so sophisticated that they seek to destabilize certain
aspects of our society. These are criminal organizations seeking to
destabilize our parliamentary system. Some
journalists, Palango says, knew he was referring to Project Sidewinder,
a joint RCMP and CSIS investigation undertaken eight years earlier
following the discovery of irregularities at the Canadian consulate in
Hong Kong. Investigators had become interested in links between the
Chinese government, Chinese criminal triads and certain influential
Canadian businessmen and politicians. […] According to them (the
investigators, Editor's note), Operation Sidewinder “exposed
for the first time the considerable efforts made by China to
infiltrate, and possibly pillage, the Canadian economy.” “More worrying
still,” they add. They, the CSIS and RCMP investigators mobilized by
this project since May 1996 demonstrated the existence of an alliance
formed for the occasion by an infernal trio: Chinese secret services,
mafia triads and Chinese businessmen.
To conclude, and to put things into perspective, one would have to be very naive to believe that the very fashionable and “variable geometry” concept of
public diplomacy/cultural diplomacy only causes damage to Canada. If
you wish to take your thoughts further on this dense subject, my friend
Benjamin Pelletier gives you, in an excellent article, the tricks of American influence in the French suburbs .

This past month has served to
highlight the serious problem Canada has with transnational organized
crime. For me it is disheatening to accept that we have allowed our
enforcement capacity to be eroded to a point that we are one of the
weakest links on the world stage. Canada's weaknesses in combating
trans[1]national organized crime stem from various factors, including
systemic chal[1]lenges, legal frameworks, and resource constraints. Here
are some reasons why Canada has been seen as a weak link: Geographical
Challenges: Canada's vast and sparsely populated landmass, ex[1]tensive
coastline, and shared borders with the United States make it
challeng[1]ing to monitor and control illicit activities such as drug
trafficking, human smug[1]gling, and money laundering. Resource
Constraints: Limited resources allocated to law enforcement agencies can
impede their ability to effectively combat organized crime. This
includes in[1]sufficient funding for personnel, technology, and training
programs needed to address evolving criminal tactics. Regulatory Gaps:
Gaps and inconsistencies in regulatory frameworks, particu[1]larly
regarding financial transactions and corporate ownership, create
opportu[1]nities for criminals to exploit loopholes and launder illicit
proceeds through Ca[1]nadian institutions. Interagency Coordination:
Coordination and cooperation among law enforce[1]ment agencies,
government departments, and international partners are essen[1]tial for
combating transnational organized crime. However, bureaucratic
barri[1]ers and turf wars can hinder effective collaboration and
information sharing. Addressing these challenges requires a
comprehensive and multi-faceted approach that involves strengthening
legal frameworks, enhancing interagency cooperation, investing in
technology and human resources, improving international collaboration,
and fostering greater political commitment to combatting transnational
organized crime effectively

Earlier in March, FINTRAC released a statement that they were currently managing a cyber incident and had temporarily taken their corporate systems offline.
Per an update from FINTRAC on March 22nd, as FINTRAC works to resume its full range of operations, businesses are reminded that they must continue to identify and document all reportable transactions and be prepared to file them once systems are back online. The API report submission of Large Cash Transaction Reports (LCTR) and Large Virtual Currency Transaction Reports (LVCTR) remains available. If your organization has identified a priority suspicious transaction report (STR), please send an email to STR-DOD@fintrac-canafe.gc.ca or call the Call Centre at 1-866-346-8722 (toll free) for additional information on how to submit this report to FINTRAC.
If you are an MSB looking to register or renew with FINTRAC, or would like to make modifications to your registration, please send an email to MSBRegistration@fintrac-canafe.gc.ca, and the Centre will respond to you as soon as it is feasible to do so.
As we look to implement new processes and systems, we will communicate these to you to ensure you can submit reports and meet your reporting obligations. Until that time, no enforcement actions will result from late reporting or renewal of Money Services Business (MSB) registrations.
What does this mean for you:
FINTRAC is expecting reporting entities to be prepared to file ALL transactions once the incident has been resolved. You should be keeping a log of all reportable transactions so that you are ready to file them right away.
If you are not sure if your STR qualifies as a “priority STR”, email FINTRAC at STR-DOD@fintrac-canafe.gc.ca and allow FINTRAC to guide you in the right direction. REMEMBER – do not provide any personal information in the email itself. FINTRAC will provide you with instructions on how to file the STR in a safe and secure manner.
MSBs also have an obligation to keep their registration information current and must report changes to registration information within 30 days of the change. It is important that you send an email to MSBRegistration@fintrac-canafe.gc.ca to notify FINTRAC of any changes to your registration information to ensure you remain compliant with your obligations.
If your registration is set to expire, be sure to email FINTRAC (MSBRegistration@fintrac-canafe.gc.ca) so that they can guide you through the renewal process.
No enforcement actions will be taken for late reports or renewals while the systems are down. However, once the incident has been resolved, FINTRAC will expect reporting entities to resume business as usual.
If you need assistance with any of the above or have questions about FINTRAC, please reach out to our team now and they will assist.
FINTRAC has released a statement that they are currently managing a cyber incident and have temporarily taken their corporate systems offline. This means that LCTRs, EFTRs and STRs cannot currently be submitted. There is no indicated resolution time at the moment, however, we will keep our followers up to date as we get updates.
If you have any questions in regards to this or other matters concerning FINTRAC, please contact one of our AML experts now at contactus@theamlshop.ca
Q&A with Michel Juneau-Katsuya, CEO, The Northgate Group
Linda Johnson
Michel Juneau-Katsuya, a former senior intelligence officer and senior manager with the Canadian Security Intelligence Service,
estimates that corporate espionage costs Canadian companies billions of
dollars a year. Now CEO of The Northgate Group, a security consulting
firm, and guest professor in criminology at the University of Ottawa, he
believes that companies must take a new, more vigorous approach to
securing their confidential information.
Later this year, Juneau-Katsuya will heading up a conference, CISC2011: Protecting Your Company Against Corporate Espionage.
It will be held Nov. 28–30 in Ottawa. Among presenters are members of
several government departments, including the National Defence’s
national counter-intelligence unit, which is responsible for
investigating all spy activities against the department and its
subcontractors.
Juneau-Katsuya, co-author, with Fabrice de Pierrebourg, of Nest of Spies (2009), will also be presenting at the conference.
Recently, Canadian Security spoke to Juneau-Katsuya about how
significant the problem of corporate espionage is, mistakes companies
make and ways to prevent competitive information from falling into the
wrong hands.
Advertisement
CS: Is corporate espionage a significant problem in Canada?
Juneau-Katsuya: It’s huge. I would dare to say that,
if it were not that terrorists shed blood, by far the greatest national
security issue that Canada currently faces would be corporate
espionage.
In 1995 we demonstrated that we were losing $10 billion to $20
billion a year. The U.S. at that time was losing an average of $25
billion, which is twice as much as us. But, because they are 10 times
bigger than us, we were actually losing five times more. The reason is
that Canada is a knowledge-based society. We have phenomenal research
centres. We are at the cutting edge of research and technology in many
different fields. And that becomes extremely attractive to foreign
entities and industrial spies.
Since the end of the Cold War, we have moved from military
confrontation to economic confrontation. And some players out there are
playing in a very sophisticated way, and they are using their national
intelligence services to come and spy on Canadian companies to steal
their secrets. We lose market share, we lose contracts, we lose our
competitiveness when that happens. And market share is revenue.
CS: What are the main mistakes companies make that lead them to lose competitive information?
Juneau-Katsuya: First, they do not perform a good
threat-risk assessment. A good threat-risk assessment, from an executive
point of view, can be simplified into an equation: “threat to” plus
“threat from” equals vulnerability.
“Threat to” is “What do I need to protect?” Fortunately, about 90 per
cent of security companies can give you a decent assessment of what you
need to protect. It can be your intellectual property, trade secrets,
production secrets, your people, R&D, information like that.
You also need to do the “threat from” or “Who wants to go after me?”
If you don’t perform that, you will be lost. If you haven’t identified
the “threat from,” you won’t be able to be very precise, and you will be
condemned to taking something off the shelf — putting in bars or
guards, putting in access control cards. But what if the problem is the
employee you just hired, who’s got a gambling issue and wants to steal
some technology to pay a debt? In that case, you have to able to protect
yourself, and you have to be able to assess the risk.
The moment you have a clear picture of your vulnerability, you can
optimize the use of your budget on security. And you don’t need to be a
security expert. A CEO can understand “threat to/threat from.”
Companies often fail to perceive security as a strategic investment
versus simply an expense, an overhead, or as a liability issue. If you
do it intelligently, it’s something you can promote as part of the value
of doing business with you because you have a better sense of what
security is and how to protect your company.
CS: In addition to doing a good threat-risk
assessment, what are some of the other measures companies should take to
prevent competitive information falling into the wrong hands?
Juneau-Katsuya: Business culture is pivotal. You can
have the best access control, the best firewall, the best polices, but
if people aren’t using it or respecting it — like the people who, to
take a simple example, put a chair in a door to keep it open when they
want to go for a smoke. It’s the same mentality, the same problem:
people who take shortcuts, or don’t pay attention to what they are
doing. These are the things that will be exploited.
So reassess the way you do business. An interesting fact is that 80
to 85 per cent of the spy cases we investigate have an insider or
someone who has legitimate access to the information. We actually grant
access to the people who will leak it. And it’s not always done out of
malicious intention. It can be done in a very naïve way, where you leak
information to someone you shouldn’t share it with.
Check your polices, the way you handle information. Not just the way
you store it; it’s how you destroy it, as well. The management of
information is “from cradle to grave.” Do background checks on people
coming in, whether employees or visitors, temporary staff or exchange
students. You’ve got to be able to assess where they’re coming from,
what they can do and how they will do.
And don’t be afraid to give a lot of awareness sessions. If people
don’t know they can be part of the problem, they will not be part of the
solution. It’s a question of a warning, of raising the sophistication
of both the executive and the employees.
CS: Can you tell me something about the conference?
Juneau-Katsuya: The purpose of the conference is to
raise awareness, to bring together the people who know about it and can
talk about it and to bring solutions to people.
It’s also an attempt to create intelligence capability for ourselves.
Governments do not understand the reality of the private sector.
Companies must do it themselves. But to have your own intelligence unit
is expensive. If we can organize ourselves collectively, we can practice
economy of scale. And then, small and medium businesses could come into
it, instead of just having it for the big guys. We’ve got to share
information with one another.
Michel Juneau-Katsuya gave us some insight as to
the root causes of Terrorism and the need for all of us to get involved
in finding out more about different cultures. Despite the significant
dollar investment in fighting terrorism, the reality is it still
flourishes. At present there are 50 known Terrorist groups operating in
Canada, with over 350 active files of known or suspected terrorists.
Supporters of these causes are too numerous to count. Those involved
with Sept 11 th in fact got in through the front door – 9 were
identified for a second screening alert by Immigration, but managed to
get through. Canada is a good place for terrorist organizations because
they can train, hide, collect donations and recruit young people.
Diplomatic, Economic factors play a significant part in fighting
terrorism, but at the community level we need to also get involved.
Michel can be reached at Northgate Group 613-254-9300 x 225 or by email: mjuneau-katsuya@ngglobal.com.
Michel Juneau-Katsuya - What has Changed Since
September 11th and What Actions Can I Take?! Formerly National
Coordinator for the Counter Terrorism Interdiction Program for the
Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) with over 23 years in the
field of security and intelligence, Michel brought a wealth of expertise
to his presentation. Having performed dutes as criminal investigator,
intelligence officer in both counter intelligence and counter terrorism,
and as a strategic expert on global and emerging issues he brought a
rare insight to the issues facing us since September 11th. With no holds
barred he openly treated the topics of terrorist threats, travel,
security and money laundering....reminding us that increasing security
doesn't necessarily mean improved security and that as Canadians we must
be proactive as individuals on a daily basis. Michel can be reached at

The
Mp3 in this email is at double speed I made it that way for fun. Most
folks don't know much about this geeky shit. However any clever ex Fed
should be able to figure out how to slow it down. The crooked Dorchester
District Court after an eight month delay gave me an earased four track
tape just before the DA tried to falsely imprison me again. I was
clever enough to glean some stuff off of one of the tracks because the
dumb Yankees used a two head machine to try to erase it. Now that is
Funny EH? guess who has been studing private investigators employed to
do the dirty work for corrupt Feds? Never forget my wife's Unlcle Willy
J. Kickham is an ex FBI agent and i have been playing with crooked
Yankee Feds and their friends for years. Crooked Canadains are child's
play to me now. Can't you tell I played you Frenchmen like a fiddle? I
am a proud pigheaded Maritimer who hates crooked Quebecers as much as I
hate crooked Yankees ask the Frenchman charles LeBlanc or
the my wife's evil brother Norfolk County Deputy Dog Robert F. O'Meara

P.S. Hey Michel Juneau-Katsuya
The crap in this email clearly proves I employ the internet too. First
is a little proof that I understand what I read. Don't ya think the
French dude Alain Jolicoeur would have acted within the scope of his
employment by know about what I gave to the Border Guards in June of
2004 when I came home to run for a seat in Parliament the first time
with Special Agent James McCarty of the FBI following close behind?
Methinks English dudes like Robert A. Wright likely told everybody to
ignore me correct? Rest assured the corrupt bureaucratic lawyers such
as Margaret Bloodworth, Blliy Elloit and Yvan Roy ain't gonna say shit
to protect your privatly held company when i sue it.. So the emails that
follow this one should be closely studied by your lawyers ASAP. They
contain the material that the Feds should have investigated long before I
went into the
Yankee jail in October of 2004. As I told your sneaky Frenchman whose
name means fog. Cya'll in Court.
Media Advisory: News Conference: CEUDA Releases Northgate Report JAN 09... The Customs Excise Union Douanes Accise (CEUDA) retained The
Northgate Group in July 2005 to conduct an extensive study of whether
the risks inherent in the duties of Border Services Officers, Regional
Intelligence Officers and Customs Investigators would justify the
issuance of side-arms. The Northgate Study was centered on extensive
interviews of Front Line Officers in all regions of the country, and
included intensive review of related and third party materials.
The
Northgate Group Study will be made public tomorrow. From this Study, 31
recommendations are presented in an effort to enhance officer safety
and improve border security for Canadians.
The
Study also uncovered disturbing
evidence of CBSA conduct aimed at misleading the public on the need for
the issuance of sidearms as well as practices that potentially create
significant public safety and security shortfalls.
Aside
from calling for implementation of the recommendations, CEUDA is also
taking the extraordinary step of asking the Auditor General of Canada to
investigate the institutional integrity and operational competence of
CBSA both of which potentially compromise the safety and security of not
only Customs Officers but also of Canadian society.
DATE Tuesday, January 10, 2006
TIME 10:00 AM
LOCATION Richelieu Room Fairmont - The Queen Elizabeth 900 René-Lévesque Blvd. West, Montreal, Quebec
IN ATTENDANCE Ron Moran, National President, CEUDA Jean-Pierre Fortin, 1st National Vice-President, CEUDA Michel Juneau-Katsuya, President & CEO, Northgate Group
Mr.
Moran will make an opening statement. Mr. Juneau-Katsuya will provide a
general overview of the study and its recommendations. This will be
followed with a question period. Printed copies of the report will be available as will electronic versions in PDF on CD-ROM.

TONY
JONES: We can take you back now to our story on the defecting Chinese
spies that have been popping up in
Belgium and in Canada and we are joined now by Michel Juneau-Katsuya, a
former senior intelligence officer with the Canadian Security
Intelligence Service. He ran the Asia/Pacific Bureau which covered China
on both counter-intelligence and counter-terrorist issues and he's
currently the chief executive of the Northgate Group, a private security
intelligence firm. He joins us now from Ottawa. Thanks for being there,
Michel Juneau-Katsuya.
MICHEL JUNEAU-KATSUYA, FORMER CANADIAN INTELLIGENCE OFFICER: My pleasure.
TONY
JONES: What do you make of this extraordinary rash of Chinese defectors
around the world who've been popping up in different countries in the
past month and not so long ago in Canada.
MICHEL JUNEAU-KATSUYA:
Yes. It's unfortunately a sort of a situation that's not totally
unusual. Other defectors as well came out of the embassies or consular
around the world, it is just that usually it's less obvious or is done
very quietly by diplomatic
circles. Depending also of the calibre of the information that is
shared with the people. Usually people try to keep it very quiet. But we
have been receiving quite a lot of information from various people who
are deciding to stay in the western countries.
TONY JONES: Just
on the point you made there. It is interesting, of course, we've had a
defector from the Chinese Consulate, a reasonably senior diplomat, Mr
Chen Yonglin. You'd know about him. Do you think it was a mistake not to
handle that quietly behind the scenes and have him talk directly to the
intelligence services, rather than you up with other immigrants?
MICHEL
JUNEAU-KATSUYA: Well, it's always interesting how it is handled and
there's a multitude of reasons why the decision will be made to bring it
public or to leave it simply on a quiet matter. On this current
perspective I think they decided to sort of simply inform the general
public and maybe encourage other people to sort of move.
TONY JONES: There are in fact four defectors apparently in
Australia now. They come forward on a fairly regular basis, in the past
month they have, at any rate. Not only the diplomat. We have in
Australia a former secret policeman from the 6-10 office. Another senior
security officer. There is a well-connected academic and now you've Mr
Han in China and in the last 24 hours another defector in Belgium. Do
you think this is being coordinated in some way by Chinese opposition
groups?
MICHEL JUNEAU-KATSUYA: No, I don't think so necessarily.
What happened is now in China there's a little bit more information
that flows freely, thanks to the Internet and other media that are
capable to penetrate the continent and there's a little bit of a copycat
movement that's going on and we're going to probably see again a few
individuals again. But it's not going to generate a flow of exitists,
people who'd like to sort of run away from the state control of China.
TONY JONES: All of these defectors appear to agree on one thing
that China has infiltrated the western countries they are living in
with large numbers of spies, informers or agents. Now, how aggressive do
you believe China's overseas networks of agents actually are?
MICHEL
JUNEAU-KATSUYA: Extremely aggressive. Now, we've got to be careful when
we look at China in particular because their modus operandi is very
different, for example, than the European counterpart that they have,
like the old KGB or other organisations of that capability. The process
that they use is known in the Intelligence Service as a mass collection
process and basically they're going to be using a phenomenal number of
spy and trained intelligence officers, but also a phenomenal number of
people who are readily capable to assist them and we're talking about a
student going abroad to study in a very specific field, post-graduates,
research academics, et cetera, and of course industry
people, business people, who will be willingly sharing information and
assisting them in acting as agents of influence.
TONY JONES: For the most part, what do you believe they are doing?
MICHEL
JUNEAU-KATSUYA: Well, they're collecting a lot of information and a lot
of information collected by the Chinese Intelligence Services is
actually open sources and has nothing illegal, but there is occasionally
some specific operations that are conducted. For example, you talked
about the department's 6-10 that's targetting a dissident movement like
pro-democracy or Falun Gong group. This is totally legal to a certain
extent. It is the responsibilities of our national governments to
protect our citizens against this kind of harassments. But the Chinese
Government is perceiving them as a threat and has in 1999 created a
specific group that's now employing themselves around the globe, chasing
sort of dissident and monitoring their activities and even in some
cases going
as far as assaulting these people.
TONY JONES: Is when you say
they're moving around the globe, do you mean specifically 6-10 agents
are being sent to western countries like Canada and Australia?
MICHEL
JUNEAU-KATSUYA: Yes, indeed. But it is also a general mandate from the
intelligence services, the Chinese intelligence services to sort of
monitor the activities of the community. This is something they were
doing anyway on a regular basis. They've just now focussed a little bit
more. But the specific group, the 6-10, had the clear mandate and almost
the sole mandate to go after pro-democracy and Falun Gong people.
TONY
JONES: Have you seen evidence of that as it is emerging? Here in
Australia there is quite an extensive harassment, for example, of Falun
Gong members. Have you seen the same things happening in Canada?
MICHEL
JUNEAU-KATSUYA: Yeah. We had evidence that it happened in several
countries around the western world. We share
information among intelligence services and law enforcement
organisations about these kind of incidents that are taking place and a
number of countries from South Africa to Europe, North America and
Australia we witness these kind of activities performed by the Chinese
intelligence services against Falun Gong.
TONY JONES: You are
saying that to your knowledge, it would be well-known to the Australian
intelligence services that the 6-10 agents are operating in this
country?
MICHEL JUNEAU-KATSUYA: Oh, definitely. It should have
been their knowledge because, like I said, this is information that we
share with one another. Now, that said - I want to be precise as well -
that is not necessarily specifically the sole attention or the top
priority that maybe your intelligence services or agents might have. Of
course, there's other national security interest for Australia that are
quite important. But the protection of your citizens is at the top
priority in some
aspects and definitely are looked after by your authorities and they
would know about it, yes.
TONY JONES: To your knowledge, do
these networks operate under direction from the local embassies, from
the local Chinese Embassies and consulates?
MICHEL
JUNEAU-KATSUYA: Definitely they have a connection and they have a link. A
lot of the agents or intelligence officers that are sent abroad, very
often are sent under the cover of diplomatic posting. So, they are using
their position to get into the community, to get in touch with people.
Foreign journalists as well or Chinese journalists sent on foreign
assignment is often used as well by the Chinese intelligence services.
It's an excellent cover to be capable to cover story, ask questions, go
and interview people and basically do what they are supposed to be doing
- collecting information which eventually will be turned into
intelligence against the people they are targetting.
TONY JONES:
Does it also
happen in Canada, to your knowledge, the harassment becomes quite
serious? I mean, there is surveillance that we know about that's
happening here. There's been allegations here of harassment by these
kind of people. But does it get worse than that?
MICHEL
JUNEAU-KATSUYA: We don't have a lot of evidence of physical aggression,
if I may say, but definitely there would be sort of campaign harassment
from phone calls in the middle of the night to monitoring or
surveillance, as you mentioned. When we talk about surveillance, we are
starting to talk about intrusion in the private life and that's quite
serious and of course you don't know what the information will be used
for. We have evidence also or allegations at least of people coming from
Canada going back for a trip or reason or another to China and claiming
they had been arrested right away on boarding the plane and had been
heavily questioned by the Chinese authority. Eventually released. Nobody
has been kept. But
these are kind of technique that are being employed by the 6-10 and the
Chinese intelligence services, definitely.
TONY JONES: Canada
is no stranger to reports of intensive spying networks and I believe you
were in fact the author of a report into Operation Sidewinder, which I
understand suggested that China in fact is one of the biggest security
threats that Canada faces. Can you tell us more about Operation
Sidewinder?
MICHAEL JUNEAU-KATSUYA: Well, what we were looking
at specifically, we were looking at the relationship of the Chinese
intelligence service with the organised crime, the Chinese organised
crime, the Triads, and also the participation and the help of some
tycoon and to try to see how China was trying to gain influence. One
other thing we've noticed as well, which was quite important, is the
process of acquiring Canadian companies - and this exercise took place
also in England, Canada and Australia - where Chinese companies
state-controlled
Chinese companies are acquiring national companies, Canadian companies
or Australian companies, and the danger in this exercise is that they
gain quite a tremendous amount of influence. It's not necessarily
control of the country, but, you though, when you start having billions
of dollars you definitely go through the secretary and are not put on
hold when you try to reach the premier or some state officials and that
was one of our concerns, that the control - the economy control that
they were starting to gain under total legitimate acquisition process
was starting to be quite important. Why is it so concernful for us is
that contrary to other foreign companies that would come and acquire
another Canadian company, these companies were state controlled. So
basically it's a foreign government acquiring influence and will
eventually influence sort of national policies or regional economic
policies that would definitely benefit them eventually.
TONY
JONES: A final
question. Both Canada and Australia have growing and extensive trade
ties with China. Do you believe that China specifically uses those links
to shut down questioning of their human rights issues and to get what
they want, in political terms, from countries they're connected to like
that?
MICHAEL JUNEAU-KATSUYA: It is unavoidable that they will
use to their advantage everything they have in order to try to minimise
criticism. Any country in the world will do such a thing. In the case of
China, where they have been specifically sort of watched or monitored
for their human rights issues, it is a sore point for them and they are
trying to sort of limit the kind of criticism of any kind that would
come from anywhere. But it is something they know they have to look at.
Their challenges are phenomenal, compared to our challenges in the
Western world.
TONY JONES: Okay.
MICHAEL JUNEAU-KATSUYA: We have to deal with over a billion people and over 200 million
unemployed people.
TONY JONES: Alright.
MICHAEL JUNEAU-KATSUYA: These are the challenges that they are facing.
TONY
JONES: Mr Juneau-Katsuya, we are just about out of time. We thank you
very much for coming in to talk to us from Ottawa tonight.
It appears that like Deputy Dog who worries about his own lawyers'
fraud and perjury in the illegal sale of two houses everyone is ignoring
the elephant in the room. The elephant is the police surveilance
wiretap tapes that I should not have in my possession. It should prove
very interesting if and when Triple M Movers sells some of them off in a
public auction and the people recorded on the aforesaid tapes get wind
of it. EH?.
In answer to Deputy Dog's same redundant
dumb
question. I will tell his lawyers that it is not my job to buy any
house. It is his lawyers job to make certain that the houses were sold
in a legal and ethical fashion in the best interests of all interested
parties including my wife pursuant to M.G.L. 241 etc. My job is to
protect my clan's rights and interests. On the other hand Kerstein does
not work for the court as he claims. He works for all interested parties
in the matter and that includes me and my two kids. My kids are
mentioned in Jane O'Meara's will but first her husband Francis' estate
must be closed first and my wife properly homesteaded the place long
before we ever knew Troccoli's name..
Any smart
lawyer should know that filing a death certificate with the Register of
Deeds over thirty years after a man is dead does not properly close an
estate in Probate Court. Perhaps Deputy Dog's lawyer Kerstein (I saw
that Deputy Dog paid for the bond) should
check his own statements to see when the bond was purportly sent to
Probate Court. If it actually was why does the Probate Court not know
its number? It must be recorded in the public record and it was not in
August of last year. Perhap all lawyers involved in the matter right now
should check to see when Kerstein's warrant was created and when he
actually signed it. Then perhaps they should try to figure out how to
stop me from suing them after I file another motion pursuant to M.G.L.
204 about the questionable acts of Commissioners etc..
As
you look at the attached pictures understand that Deputy Dog is holding
the original wiretap tape number 138 in his hand two weeks after I
showed it to Judge Hanlon in dorchester Didtrict Court and tried to give
to several Cops in the Boston PD during a break in the matter on April
28th. I watched in amazement as Lt. Blount of Stoughton gave Deputy Dog
the tape and the same material I
sent to the FBI and Ambassadors Allan Rock and Franky Boy McKenna in
front of many witnesses. I was looking forward to going home to take on
many MPs that in the near future when Belinda Stronach and Chuck Cadman
saved Humpty Dumpty's nasty arse for a little while anyway.
As Deputy Dog and his nasty little lawyer Troccoli watched with glee
the very dumb Greggy Chandler make a very fraudulent deal with Kerstein
Deputy Dog's Big Bad Brother Billy had a little talk. He claimed it was
over. I disagreed and said it was merely beginning. Clearly it ain't
over yet. EH?

He
started his career as a police officer with the Royal Canadian Mounted
Police (RCMP) before transferring to the Canadian Security Intelligence
Service (CSIS). He has performed duties as a criminal investigator, and
intelligence officer in both counterintelligence and counterterrorism,
and also as a strategic analyst on global and emerging issues.[citation needed]
In 1994, he stated that the most imminent threat to the world was not nuclear proliferation, but simple machetes - a prophecy he considers to have been fulfilled by the Rwandan genocide later.[2]
Today he is the president and CEO of The Northgate Group,[3] and sometimes cited in media stories as a source on international espionage.[1]
Works
He is the co-author with Fabrice de Pierrebourg [fr] of Nest of Spies: The Startling Truth About Foreign Agents At Work Within Canada's Border published in September 2009 (HarperCollins, ISBN1554684498) and Ces espions venus d'ailleurs: Enquête sur les activités d'espionnage au Canada,
published September 2009 (Stanké). These books reveal various spy
activities in Canada and share some points on how to defend its company
against it.[4][5]
Juneau-Katsuya wrote the afterword in the book, The Mosaic Effect, co-authored by Canadian Military
Intelligence Analyst, Scott McGregor and Journalist Ina Mitchell. In
it, Juneau-Katsuya was critical of the Canadian Governments failure to
recognize the threat of the Peoples Republic of China (PRC) in Canada saying "Regrettably, throughout my 40-year career I've, encountered all three of these attitudes from our Canadian political elite."[6]
In Popular Media
In 2017, Juneau-Katsuya was interviewed in the documentary film "In the Name of Confucius"
by Canadian filmmaker Doris Liu, the film, is about the controversies
around one of China’s largest overseas soft-power initiatives, China’s Confucius Institutes (CI).
He also participated in a panel discussion at the official Ottawa
premiere screening held at the One World Film Festival on Sept. 30,
2017. Where he said that the CI is promoted as a Chinese language and
cultural program, as a way “to collect information in order, eventually,
for intelligence officers to target certain individuals that went to
that institute to study."[7]

On March 17th, 600 Islanders showed up to hear about the Chinese Communist Party use their charm offensive to ingratiate politicians and business people to infiltrate our government, buy up property and change our lifestyle and objectives to meet their goals
This is the video of that meeting, W5 also filmed this and will continue to investigate and will have a show about the state of P.E.I. invasion of our Islnd by the Bliss and Wisdom Buddhist organizations

assigned, this is the person in charge of assignments
Mussels,
fish processing plants, lobster will be the next target, our fishing
tradition and backbone of small communities disappearing faster than the
snow from the winter
I am waiting to see the video of the meeting on Sunday before I comment on the specifics of the presentations, but the the underlying message from the expert witnesses was that subversive strategies they have investigated in many other parts of the world are clearly visible on PEI; things like money laundering from massive organized crime syndicates. The huge amount of money entailed means, of course, that Islanders simply not compete when it comes to buying land, residences, businesses etc.
I received just today another example of this, where Islanders simply cannot compete with the dirty money.
A man very familiar with the extremely lucrative mussel industry of the Island -- worth 100s of millions of dollars -- told me that it wasn't long ago that there were more than 300 Islanders with leases. The income from those leases was, as he put it, "was the economic backbone of many communities right across the Island."
He then told me that today there are fewer than 100 owners of leases and that the majority of the over 200 leases purchased were purchased by Asian buyers. It's a very lucrative business, so why wouldn't more Islanders be investing? Well, one of the reasons is that they can't compete with the money flow out of Asia.
I'm not pretending that these figures are precise, and if anyone has any supplementary evidence I would be glad to hear it. But my source was a good one, and a concerned one, and what he was saying in a nutshell is that the entire mussel industry is moving rapidly into the possession of these foreign buyers.

BACKGROUND TO THE DELTA GATHERING
HYBRID WAR
Late last year a concerned Islander called Optimum Publishing after reading "The Mosaic Effect" to notify the publisher that what was described in the book was happening on PEI; i.e. large scale and apparently coordinated investment into PEI by Taiwanese and Chinese organizations.
The authors were not completely unaware of the situation as they had already uncovered fraud and ‘elite capture’ in connection with PNP on PEI and reported it in their book, but at that point they had no idea how far advanced the operation was on the Island.
Subsequently, the publishers sent investigators to PEI, sparking a five-month-long journalistic inquiry. The gathering at the Delta was a venue to report on the shocking findings and to speak about a forthcoming book focusing exclusively on PEI.
All speakers at the gathering stressed that the Island public has to wake up and realize they are in a state of war with CCP, whether they know it or not.
The first speaker, Michel Juneau -Katsuya reminded the audience that Premier Xi Jinping declared a goal for China of becoming the world’s leading superpower by 2049 and that ‘hybrid’ war would be the the tool used to achieve this position.
He also reminded the audience that wo thousand years ago Chinese general Sun Tzu wrote a book called “The Art of War”, which states that “the supreme art of war is winning a war without a battle.” That’s hybrid war.
Among the tactics are deception, lying, spying, creating internal divisions, inciting social disruption, promoting friendly cooperation and mutual benefit through increased trade and investment, as well as utilizing bribery and sex-tortion -- all tools to achieve the ultimate end which is the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) take-over of Western democracies, particularly in North America.
It is, he stressed, the wider context within which the Island currently finds itself, and that unless we awaken to what is happening the ‘capture’ will surely occur.
(
to be continued)
SECOND SPEAKER AT THE GATHERING
The second guest speaker at the gathering on the 17th was Garry Clement (former RCMP officer) who spoke about the “unholy” trinity of CCP (Chinese Communist Party) controlled institutions used to fight this hybrid war:
o Firstly - Chinese Embassy and consulates, many CCP-controlled Canada-China friendship societies, (one of which is presided over by an Islander), trade and investment promotion societies, chambers of commerce, educational institutions such as the Confucius Institute and, of special concern to the Island, Buddhist religious organizations.
o Secondly – local oligarchs and sizeable business organizations that can exert economic influence in new markets where CCP wishes to deploy them to work hand-in-hand with other participants in these operations. Sadly, the capture of the local elite worked especially well on PEI.
o Thirdly – what are known as Triads -- China-based mafia, who are also co-opted into the hybrid war to handle money laundering, casino operations and gambling, drug import and distribution, to gain control over ports and harbours and establish cooperation with local mafias (including Hell’s Angels) and handle intimidation of Chinese immigrants and anyone else critical of CCP.
Indeed, Garry declared that CCP can be considered the world’s largest criminal organization, because it partners with organized crime in long term arrangements in order to achieve its objectives. The fentanyl crisis ravaging North America, and PEI, is part of that.
Clement also said that through his investigation in PEI he felt there was a significant influence operation taking place in PEI and that he had enough data on potential criminal activity in order for him to recommend to the authorities that an investigation be launched. Michel confirmed that he had the same view. The transactions that were reviewed indicate that some politicians are linked to PNP fraud and that certain organizations on the island may been involved in money laundering. No companies were however named due to the potential of an investigation being launched and liability concerns.
MORE FROM THE GATHERING AT THE DELTA
THE GROOMING OF ISLAND POLITICIANS
Dean Baxendale, the publisher of the book, The Mosaic Effect, provided the crowd an example of what is known as “soft power.”
Chapter 11 of that book states that Frank Zhou, a business immigrant to PEI, is a “Red Princeling” (descendant of original CCP members who supported or fought with Mao) and considered by some to be a CCP operative.
Zhou established a non-profit organization called Canada-China Friendship and Goodwill Association under the pretext of promoting educational and cultural exchanges between the two countries and Duncan McIntosh, partner of Wade MacLauchlan, became its president, even before Wade became premier.
The PEI based association however falls under an umbrella organization called “The Chinese People’s Association for Friendship with Foreign Countries”, which is directly controlled and funded by the CCP. (Chinese Communist Party). MacIntosh and MacLauchlan were also groomed using financial incentives, by forming a partnership with Frank Zhou to export Anne of Green Gables into China through theme parks, merchandize etc., involving the future premier’s partner in a business venture with a CCP operative.
This shows how CCP grooms political elites, including their spouses, years before they gain influence. Also, the victims may not, of course, be aware they are being used. Dean also said this “elite capture” program is used against both parties, all the time, to maintain control over the governments of the day.
The soul-searching Islanders need to do now is to attempt to understand what was so tragically wrong with our political culture, and our media, that the CCP has been able to encroach so successfully for so long. The deep toxic connection between politics and patronage was in existence here long before the CCP arrived. Every day in the Legislature reveals further examples of this ‘politics of favours.’
We can’t blame the CCP for that. They just took advantage of what we had become.
This is our wake-up call. Our democratic tradition is on the verge of being toppled. And despite the seriousness of the situation, I can’t think of a single elected person, whether federal, provincial or municipal who has had either the eyes to see it or the courage to address it.
I’m open to correction, but also open to a discussion of how we are to account for this politics of silence. Weigh in, would you?
MORE THAN CONTEMPLATION
When one surveys the financial holdings and commercial connections of some of the individuals closely associated with GEBIS it is difficult to avoid the question of whether what we have invited into our midst is primarily a religious institution, or primarily just a commercial enterprise of which GEBIS is a useful constituent part.
In the days ahead we will be posting information that reveals that the men and women in robes bring with them a sizeable number of uber-wealthy commercial moguls who control huge business ventures around the globe. GEBIS said they came to the Island because the environment was conducive to contemplation, but the evidence suggests it must be conducive to much more than that. It seems PEI has become a magnet for some very wealthy investors as well.
It seems a strange thing to ask, but are we to become the Little Hong Kong of North America? It, does, however, seem a little less strange when you consider that there are plans for the massive, international corporation, Bliss and Wisdom, to locate its headquarters in Brudenell.
Here is some information on the first of the individuals we will be featuring. This is not meant as a personal attack, rather a way of informing Islanders the magnitude of what coming down the pike.
1. Keh Jow Lu "General Lu" as he is called by the Buddhists
• GEBIS PEI in charge of Laity (Owns 5 houses on PEI)
• Owns the land and Complex that houses Master Zhen Ru and her core Monks.
• Mr. Lu now Lives in Heatherdale.
• Director of Kaohsiung City Chiao-Tou District Bliss and Wisdom Monastery Foundation.
• Director of Bliss and Wisdom Education Foundation.
• Auditor of Bliss and Wisdom School Foundation (Taiwan)
• Auditor of Bliss and Wisdom Private Elementary School Foundation (Taiwan)
• Auditor of Yunlin County Bliss and Wisdom Private High School Foundation (Taiwan)
• Auditor of Yunlin County Bliss and Wisdom Private Middle School Foundation (Taiwan)
• President of Grain Essence Garden PEI. ( Business Partner with Master Zen Ru)
• Director and shareholder of Splendid Essence Restaurant PEI.
• CEO of Junous (Zhongru) Group corporation, which includes:
How did we get to where we are now; i.e. how did the situation with Bliss and Wisdom advance to this precarious stage? Many are attributing it to the fact that Islanders are such a welcoming people, and there is something to that, but much more.
As we heard from the CCP experts last Sunday that organization is highly trained and greatly skilled in the ‘art of war’, especially the art of what is described as “elite capture”. Our situation is dire because the political elite of this province (and country) were so successfully bamboozled and seduced by sweet talk and irresistible favours. Almost without exception, whatever was asked of them they granted. I view them as volunteer pallbearers at their own funeral…and ours.
The CCP has also been greatly enabled by those doubtless well-intentioned Islanders who seem to relish the opportunity to shout “racist” at anyone who seemed even mildly critical of the invasiveness and the land-grabbing going on in 3 Rivers and across the province. I can’t tell you how many Islanders who have sadly confessed to me that they were suspicious for a long time of what was going on but were reluctant to speak up for fear of being maligned by neighbours and other Islanders.
These two factors, the collusion of our leaders and the misplaced zeal of the cancel culture appear together in a document from the Premier’s Office (executive council). I am going to share it here and you can decide for yourselves what to make of it.
The most despicable thing about it from the view on this branch is that the captured elite – the Premier and his Ministry – are saying loudly and aggressively that the Island is an extremely racist community requiring expensive remedial programs to rid us of our entrenched bigotry.
I am curious to know what you think of it.
BIPOC figures prominently in the document and if you don't know what it is you should check it out, and see if you think this American organization is a good fit for PEI.
The
Anti-Racism Table invites individuals, community organizations and
stakeholders to apply for microgrants to undertake initiatives that
promote anti-racism work on PEI. This fund will contribute to our
mandate to promote a culture of diversity and inclusion that recognizes

This new one-time funding initiative supports the Anti-Racism Table’s
mandate to promote a culture of diversity and inclusion in Prince
Edward Island that recognizes the need to address racism, as well as to
strengthen the link between racial equality and community cohesion.
Eligible projects must align with one or more of the following goals:
Strengthening organizational capacity with activities focused on anti-racism
Public outreach, engagement and advocacy

THE VIEW FROM THIS BRANCH
THE PRESENT SHAMEFEST
What would be your response if strangers came into your home and began telling your children that their family was deeply flawed, and that their parents – their father in particular – were bad persons who willfully inflicted great harm on all kinds of other people?
And what would you think if those strangers were also welcomed into Island schools to inflict guilt on children for oppressive crimes committed by their ancestors, thereby under-mining whatever self-esteem they might be attempting to build?
And what would you think if you then found out that the organizations these accusers belonged to were being financed by your tax dollars, all based on the assumption that Islanders are a hatefully racist group?
And what would you think about those Islanders who know all of this is going on and just shrug it off? There are, sadly, some who are conscious accessories to what is happening, and are profiting from it. Others have been intimidated. Those are the ones I wish to engage.
And what do you think about a group of politicians who call themselves Conservatives but are promoting what is an essentially neo-Marxist ideology that, ironically, divides our society along racist lines into two groups, the oppressive whites, and everyone else. Dennis King and his henchmen are doing that, even though that ‘everyone else’ group includes members of a wealthy, powerful movement hostile to the Island, and contemptuous of the way of life that we have created here, as flawed as it might be.
This is not about being perfect. I share with many Islanders ideas about how we can grow in kindness as a society, and welcoming newcomers and the richness they bring is part of that.
Let’s face it, we are being shamed, and shame is a damn poor foundation upon which to build community, yet that is the message that is being spread across the Island by political zealots and by the media; however, a growing number of us want no part of it, and will continue to speak out against it wherever it rears its ugly head.
So the next time someone tries to inject this poison into your consciousness just smile and say confidently, “Sorry, my anti-shame filter doesn’t let that crap through. Try someone else.”

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

•Conduct process overview
•Conduct hearing schedule
•Amended RCMP Act
•Annual report
•Report on Allegations of Harassment and Sexual Misconduct at the
RCMP's Canadian Police College Explosives Training Unit - July 14,
2016
Public trust is essential for the RCMP to effectively serve and
protect Canadians. As a result, RCMP employees must conduct themselves
in a manner that not only meets, but exceeds, the rightfully high
expectations of Canadians.
RCMP members are subject to the same laws as all Canadian citizens. In
addition, member conduct is guided by the Code of Conduct of the Royal
Canadian Mounted Police (Code of Conduct). RCMP members are subject to
this Code of Conduct both on and off-duty, in Canada and abroad.
Contraventions of the Code of Conduct are taken seriously and the RCMP
is committed to handling conduct issues in a timely, efficient and
fair manner.
A new Code of Conduct and conduct process were developed in support of
the amended RCMP Act which came into force on November 28, 2014. The
new conduct process allows misconduct to be addressed in a more
responsive, timely and effective manner, and at the lowest appropriate
level. Emphasis is placed on identifying remedial, corrective and
educative solutions, rather than being limited to applying punitive
sanctions.
Conduct hearings
Conduct hearings are initiated in cases where the member's dismissal
is being sought based on the overall circumstances of the allegations.
Conduct hearings are formal, court-like processes that are held before
a board of one or more persons. Boards have the legal authority to
hear evidence, such as sworn testimony, to make determinations as
required and, if the contravention(s) is established, to administer
various conduct measures including dismissal.
Conduct hearings are open to the public. Hearing dates, times, and
locations, are available on the hearing schedule site.
As a criminal lawyer, drug prosecutor and civil litigator, I have
conducted hundreds of trials. Since becoming a criminal defence lawyer
in Toronto in 2004, I have successfully defended clients charged with
first-degree murder, and have earned dismissals on less serious
charges such as attempted murder, criminal negligence causing death,
impaired operation of a motor vehicle causing bodily harm, aggravated
assault, and multi-kilogram-level drug trafficking. I have appeared at
the Supreme Court of Canada, and have conducted numerous appeals at
the Ontario Court of Appeal.
I am a former drug prosecutor with the Department of Justice Canada.
Before becoming a prosecutor, I acted as a judicial law clerk at the
Supreme Court of British Columbia and assisted Superior Court justices
in deciding the issues raised during criminal proceedings. I also
practiced civil litigation at a firm of some 150 lawyers in Calgary,
Alberta. In addition, I served as a special constable with the Royal
Canadian Mounted Police.
I received a Bachelor of Laws with Distinction from the University of
Saskatchewan in 2000. In 1997, I graduated from the University of
British Columbia with a Masters of Arts degree. I had previously
graduated from the U of S in 1994 with a Bachelor of Arts Degree with
High Honours. In 2004, I received a Certificate in International
Criminal Law from Salzburg Law School.

Methinks the RCMP, the FBI, the DHS and a lot of lawyers should be
concerned about this transcript
"Now I have a bone to pick with many judges in federal court and a lot
in the Court of Queen's Bench of New Brunswick, but not all. And not
every judge or every lawyer is a crook. Some of them are actually
friends of mine. Only problem I have with them is they think I can't
pull this off. That the system is just too powerful. Well could be.
Call me crazy if you wish, I can be as crazy as I want to be. How do
you explain my having FBI wiretap tapes of the mob and three weeks
after he mentioned about me being in federal court, the outgoing
Commissioner of the R.C.M.P. said beware of the mob. Bob Paulson said
that"

Harper’s enforcer: Meet Jenni Byrne, the most powerful woman in Ottawa
Add to ...
Adam Radwanski The Globe and Mail Published Friday, May 29, 2015 8:00PM EDT
"As Tim Hudak prepared for his second and final shot at becoming
Ontario’s premier, the word went out through Conservative circles in
the nation’s capital: Do not help this man.
Mr. Hudak, then the leader of the provincial Progressive
Conservatives, was a kindred spirit set to run on a right-wing agenda.
He had a decent shot at knocking off a Liberal incumbent with whom
Stephen Harper had a frosty relationship. And after more than a decade
in the political wilderness, his Tories badly needed organizational
support from federal cousins who had recently been in the business of
winning.
Before Mr. Hudak’s first election leading his party, in 2011, such
support was forthcoming. The federal Conservatives lent experienced
campaign managers for target ridings, shared their volunteer lists,
and helped raise money. They even let the provincial Tories use a
campaign bus.
But on the final day of that election campaign, before the votes were
even counted, Mr. Hudak made a bad mistake that went a long way toward
souring his relationship with the federal party: He fired his chief of
staff, Lynette Corbett.
Mixed views about whether Ms. Corbett deserved to be let go, after a
behind-the-scenes power struggle among Mr. Hudak’s senior officials,
are beside the point.
What matters is that she’s among the very best friends of Jenni Byrne.
There are only a few backroom operators in this country whose bad side
needs to be avoided at all costs. And Ms. Byrne – the Prime Minister’s
campaign manager, his enforcer, his primary connection to his party’s
grassroots, and one of his longest-serving loyalists – is most
emphatically one of them.
“Pretty much from the day Lynette was fired, we couldn’t get a phone
call returned,” recalls a senior member of Mr. Hudak’s campaign team.
“It pretty quickly became clear this wasn’t an issue to be managed. It
was a fact to be accepted.”
Never mind central support; all but the bravest federal Conservatives
were reluctant even to be seen at a Hudak fundraiser, for fear of what
it would do to their careers.
It is unclear whether Mr. Harper was fully aware that his party was
choking off resources to Mr. Hudak; if he was, he didn’t much care.
Such is the leeway afforded to the woman who claimed credit for
steering the Prime Minister to majority government, and whom he will
be counting on to help him hold on to it in this year’s federal
campaign."

Study Reveals Secret Bailouts to Canadian Banks

"Our politicians are on the global stage touting the soundness of
Canada's banking system, where at the same time three of Canada's
banks were at some point underwater."
David Macdonald of the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives
explains the think tank's report that found Canadian banks received
secret bailouts during the 2008-2010 financial crisis.
“Canada’s corporate executives were among the loudest critics of a new
fifteen dollar minimum wage in provinces like Ontario and Alberta,
meanwhile the highest paid among them were raking in record-breaking
earnings,” says the report’s author, CCPA Senior Economist David
Macdonald."

Urge Ontario’s Party Leaders To Embrace a ‘Real Solution’ to Rising
Electricity Costs
A Call-Out from the Ontario Clean Air Alliance, a citizens advocacy
group in the province
Posted February 13th, 2018 on Niagara At Large
We are now just a few months away from a provincial election and we
know that rising electricity costs are sure to be a big issue on the
campaign trail. So why have none of the parties at Queen’s Park
embraced the real solution to lowering bills – buying power from
Quebec?
Quebec just signed a deal with Massachusetts to supply power at 3 to
5.5 cents per kWh. That’s less than one-third of the projected cost of
power from rebuilt reactors at the Darlington Nuclear Station. Yet our
leaders seem more interested in accounting tricks and finger pointing
than in grabbing Quebec’s sensational offer to make a similar deal
with Ontario.
Right now, all our leaders (and leadership candidates) seem to be
stumbling around in the dark on the electricity issue (with the
exception of the Green Party, which has called for a deal with
Quebec). To make a real difference for voters, they need to quickly
flip the switch from dangerous high cost nuclear to clean affordable
power from Quebec. Voters have had enough of non-solutions and the
blame game. Now it is time for real answers.
Please tell the leaders and leadership candidates that you want
answers, not empty promises.
P.S. We have sent the PC leadership candidates the following question:
“Should the Government of Ontario seek to negotiate a long-term
electricity supply contract with Hydro Quebec to lower our electricity
rates?” We’ll let you know what they have to say. Stay tuned.

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

FOIA For Fun and Liberation

Publication date 2016-06-25
Usage http://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/
Topics Massachusetts, Public Records, Secretary of the Commonwealth, FOIA
Language English
Maya Shaffer is a reporter for the Bay State Examiner, and someone
who's used Massachusetts public records law enough to know it inside
and out. This is a great talk, where Maya tells her stories of public
records requesters in Massachusetts. Highlights include:
The time Maya made an in-person FOIA request to NEMLEC -- the
Northeastern Massachusetts Law Enforcement Council. NEMLEC wasn't
sure how to respond to an in-person request, so they called 911.
An agency proposed a $400 fee to process a public records request.
The agency takes the $400, but never produces the records.
How the city of Boston wanted to charge $10,000 to produce emails
between the city, and the Massachusetts Municipal Association
How Massachusetts public records laws aren't "real laws", in the
sense that they're routinely violated, and the violating party is
never punished.
The level of apathy and disdain that the Secretary of the
Commonwealth has for Massachusetts public records laws.
The really neat things you can find out, if you manage to get your
public records request fulfilled.
Maya's talk was record on June 25, 2016, during PirateCon 2016.

YES FOLKS, I was elected to help you,but to my own interest electoral
reform will not work for me or my voter base, therefore take my
promise and kinda forget about it,

Electoral Reform Meeting 39
The Chair:
Thank you very much.
Mr. David Amos, the floor is yours.
Mr. David Amos (As an Individual):
Mr. Chair, I ran for public office five times against your party.
That said, I ran against Mr. DeCourcey's boss right here in
Fredericton in the election for the 39th Parliament.
I was not aware of this committee meeting in Fredericton today until
I heard Mr. DeCourcey speaking on CBC this morning. I don't pretend
to know something I don't, but I'm a quick study. I thought I
had paid my dues to sit on the panel. I notified the clerks in a
timely fashion, but I received no response. At least I get another
minute and a half.
The previous speaker answered the $64,000 question: 338. I can name
every premier in the country. Governor Maggie Hassan is my governor
in New Hampshire. The people there who sit in the house get paid $100
a year plus per diem expenses. I think that's the way to run a
government. There are lots of seats in the house for a very small
state.
My understanding of this hearing is that you have to report to Mr.
Trudeau by December 1, because he said during the election that if he
were elected Prime Minister, the 42nd Parliament, which I also ran in,
would be the last first-past-the-post election. You don't have much
time, so my suggestion to the clerks today, which I published and sent
to the Prime Minister of Iceland and his Attorney General, was to do
what Iceland does. Just cut and paste their rules. They have no first
past the post. They have a pending election.

@David Amos
A former friend of mine, Birgitta Jónsdóttir, founded a
party there, for which there is no leader. It is the Pirate Party.
It's high in the polls right now with no leader. That's interesting. I
tweeted this. You folks said that you follow tweets, so you should
have seen what I tweeted before I came here this evening.
That said, as a Canadian, I propose something else. Number
one, my understanding of the Constitution and what I r...

against RCMP - #2013-2824
To: john.knox@gov.bc.ca
Cc: David Amos <david.raymond.amos@gmail.com>
This is further to your recent communications with the Commission.
From September 18, 2013 to the present, our office has received 6
electronic messages from you. Many of these e-mails are not related to
RCMP conduct.
On October 1, 2013, you called our office and spoke with an Intake
Officer. You wished to enquire about three complaint files. When the
Intake Officer attempted to inform you that you have three enquiry
files with the Commission, you became agitated and insisted otherwise.
You raised your voice and spoke over the Intake Officer. You then
demanded the name of the Intake Officer, and subsequently yelled "see
you in federal court" and hung up the telephone line.
As a reminder, we request that all future correspondence with our
office must be courteous in tone and that you are respectful of the
requests that are made of you. While it is clearly not the intention
of the Commission to prevent you from making complaints against
members of the RCMP, your recent emails and telephone call have been
unproductive for both you and for Commission staff. In the future, we
request that all communication with our office be respectful in
language and related to our mandate. In the event that this request
is not respected, the Commission will consider imposing restrictions
on how you may communicate with our office.
Should you have a complaint about a specific RCMP member surrounding a
specific incident, I invite you to visit the Commission's website
(www.cpc-cpp.gc.ca<http://www.cpc-cpp.gc.ca>) to submit an online
complaint, rather than to send an email that is difficult to follow or
a copy of a letter you have sent to many others. The complaint form
will guide you through the information required that will enable the
Commission to process your complaint. Should you have difficulty in
accessing the complaint form and wish to have one sent to you, you may
provide your mailing address and a form will be mailed to you via
Canada Post.
I would also invite you to send your correspondence regarding any new
or existing complaints (quoting the appropriate Commission file
number) by letter mail to:
Commission for Public Complaints Against the RCMP
National Intake Office
PO Box 88689
Surrey, BC V3W 0X1

Subject: IPCC Reference: 2013/015918
To: David Amos <motomaniac333@gmail.com>
Dear Mr Amos
I acknowledge receipt of 4 emails at the Independent Police Complaints
Commission (IPCC) earlier today.
I note from our records that you have been advised on the IPCC remit,
as well as spoken with one of my colleagues in the customer contact
team. It remains unclear from your emails what your complaint against
the police is. This may be because you refer to a number of other
organisations, or matters outside of the IPCC's remit.
If you wish to make a complaint against the police you should provide
these details to either the IPCC or the relevant police force's
professional standards department (PSD).
The IPCC does not investigate allegations of crime(s) committed by
members of the public, nor can we direct a police force to commence an
investigation into such.
If you have any queries about the IPCC's remit or the complaints
process please contact us. However, emails to the IPCC that fall
outside of our remit will be read and filed, but may not be responded
to.
The original of this email was scanned for viruses by the Government
Secure Intranet virus scanning service supplied by Vodafone in
partnership with Symantec. (CCTM Certificate Number 2009/09/0052.) On
leaving the GSi this email was certified virus free.
Communications via the GSi may be automatically logged, monitored
and/or recorded for legal purposes.
Talk about pissing a guy off. EH Ian McPhail? What planet do CROWN's
bureaucrats come from anyway?
Need I say BULLSHIT once again??? The other CROWN Corp commonly know
as the CBC often puts that word over our airwaves so that can't be
offensive. That said I bet the call was recorded If so I demand a copy
ASAP. Next time I call I will record the call myself.
I must ask did the oh so silent boss Ian MacPhail and his buddy Bob
Paulson about the Yankee wiretap tapes being evidence of MURDER?
Better check the Canadian Ciminal Code about assisting in the cover up
of such crimes EH?
As for the call I remember it like it was yesterday. Howcome it took
Günther Schönfeldt three weeks to dream up the same sort of response I
got in 2007??? The first thing I did was ask for him and the woman
claimed he was not avaible and offered to help. She started out quite
nice but as soon as she admited that there was only a faxed complaint
in November of 2003 and that it did not warrant an answer I told her
to look some more. She got fairly argumentive and did not wish to
discuss the complaint I sent in August of 2005 (It appeared to me that
she read something in my file) I gave up and asked her name when she
got to snarky and she refused to give other than "Nora" So I said Cya
in Federal Court and hung up. The I sent your buddy Bob Paulson and
YOU Ian McPhail a Motherload of emails but I did only sent your
mindless bureaucrats six that were largely unrelated if they did not
know how to read deep.
However your Commission should not deny that I argued with its former
lawyer/boss Shirley Heafey about the aforesaid compliant in 2005
within emails sent to many Parliamentarians months for a I ran for a
sent Parliament again and she was replaced by the lawyer Paul Kennedy.
(The lawyer Heafey and your Commission always denied that complaint
existed until your office sent me a similar bullshit email after Mike
Murphy a former Minister of Health and later another former Attorney
General asked Deputy Commissioner Steve Graham to investigate my
concerns.
In return the Graham got transferred to Nova Scotia and RCMP falsely
arrested REMEMBER Stevey Boy Harper?

New Brunswick Police Commission
435 King Street
Fredericton, New Brunswick
E3B 1E5
A letter to support my complaint about various police forces in New
Brunswick will follow these emails just as I promised on the phone to
you people today.
I have no understanding as to why the Police Commission nor anyone
else holding a governmental mandate in the Province of New Brunswick
has never called me back or answered one email in nearly four years.
Shawn Graham should at least recognize his own documents to my framer
friend, Werner Bock from the time when he sat in opposition and was
the agricutural critic at the same time .
It appears to me that I am not the only one to get mad at the
malicious incompetence of John Foran and the cops of New Brunswick.
What is even more interesting though is the fact that John Foran was
once mad at the Police Commission and they way they investigated
things so secretly against the public's best interests. EH Mr. Volpe?
Rest assured that I ain't holding my breath for the police to continue
to harass me anymore after their nonsense yesterday. Nor will I wait
to see Wayne Steeves say or do the right thing after he has covered up
my concerns about the severe lack of police integrity for his politcal
party's benefit for four god damned years.
For the recod these Youtubes that are this arseholes favoutites were
created by the RCMP and I have no doubt whatsoever the people
slandering me are cops as well.
On a number of occasions you have called or sent e-mails our office to
raise matters which are of pressing concern to you.
Each time we have tried to respond by explaining to you the relatively
narrow mandate of this Commission and the limits of our powers to deal
with the matters which are of concern to you. I must stress, once
again, that the purpose of this Commission is to provide the public
with an opportunity to make complaints concerning the conduct of
members of the RCMP in the performance of their duties. We have
neither the expertise nor the legal authority to permit us to become
involved in issues beyond the scope of this mandate.
While it is clearly not the intention of the Commission to prevent you
from making complaints against members of the RCMP, an analysis of
your numerous contacts with the Commission indicates that your
concerns fall well outside the confines of our mandate. Further, your
frequent e-mails have been disruptive and unproductive for both you
and for the staff of this office.
Should you determine that some point in the future you have a
complaint concerning the conduct of a member of the RCMP in the
performance of his or her duties, please submit it to the Commission
by Canada Post only. As of now, your e-mails will be deleted unread.
Yours truly,
Andrée Leduc

The Commission for Public Complaints Against the RCMP has received
your e-mail message and will be responding in due course.
La Commission des plaintes du public contre la GRC a reçu votre
courriel et vous rendra une réponse au moment opportun.
This will acknowledge receipt of a copy of your e-mail of December 29,
2006 to Corporal Warren McBeath of the RCMP.
Because of the nature of the allegations made in your message, I have
taken the measure of forwarding a copy to Assistant Commissioner Steve
Graham of the RCMP "J" Division in Fredericton.
Thank you for your follow up e-mail to me today. I was on days off over
the holidays and returned to work this evening. Rest assured I was not
ignoring or procrastinating to respond to your concerns.
As your attachment sent today refers from Premier Graham, our position
is clear on your dead calf issue: Our forensic labs do not process
testing on animals in cases such as yours, they are referred to the
Atlantic Veterinary College in Charlottetown who can provide these
services. If you do not choose to utilize their expertise in this
instance, then that is your decision and nothing more can be done.
As for your other concerns regarding the US Government, false
imprisonment and Federal Court Dates in the US, etc... it is clear that
Federal authorities are aware of your concerns both in Canada and the
US. These issues do not fall into the purvue of Detachment policing in
Petitcodiac, NB.
It was indeed an interesting and informative conversation we had on
December 23rd, and I wish you well in all of your future endeavors.
No need to Bitch.
I am about to sue ya anyway but you did receive the same material
that everybody else got by email anyway. However now I will now
forward the other emails that various silly servants got after I had
had many talks with your incompetant and malicious assistants within
the Commission over the past two years. It seems that I had to insult
you and bust you in front of your friends to finally get a response
from you.
Furthermore on August 2nd I sent you your material byway of the
US Mail which was received and signed for. It was hard copy of my
concerns and allegations about you being in bed with the corrupt old
bastard Zack of the RCMP. I also sent a copy of wiretap tape # 139.
Instead of you acting within the scope of your employment you go on
vacation and bury your head in the sand while the RCMP assisted the
Yankees in throwing my wife and kids into the street without due
process of law?
Well your head may be in still the sand but you just stuck your
arse high up in the air. It is high time for me to give it a boot
before you stick it up Zack's ass in a vain effort to appear that you
have integrity after all. The following is the text of that letter and
after that is the US Mail's confirmation of when it was sent and
received by you.
Say hey to McLachlin for me will ya? Tell her I will be suing her
too. She has been covering up for the crooked Newfy Judge Dereck Green
for way past too long. To hell with lawyers appointed as commissioners
and other lawyers appointed as judges. From my point of view they were
only appointed to cover up public corruption. I look forward to
meeting the likes of you in court and arguing you on the public
record. You just proved for me that most lawyers ain't that smart. You
should have continued to play dumb Bitch. At least then you could have
blamed your assistants for not telling you what you obviously know.
however if you had done so, I would have pointed to the fact that you
are their supervisor and therefore ultimatly responsible. Everybody
else knows that the RCMP are as crooked as hell, so do you. call me a
liar now. I double dog dare ya.

RE: Rampant Public Corruption
Hey,
Pursuant to my recent phone calls to Norman Sabourin and
various underlings of Shirley Heafey within the Commission for Public
Complaints against the RCMP over the years plus my many faxes and
emails please find enclosed exactly the same material received by
every Attorney General in Canada over the past year. The CD which is a
copy of a police surveillance wiretap tape # 139 is served upon you as
officers of the court in order that it may be properly investigated.
As you can see I have enclosed a copy of a letter sent to the latest
Attorney General Mr. Wally Opal in BC. Perhaps he should take a little
trip to Surrey and ask your office some hard questions. Perhaps the
ghost of my fellow Independent politician, Chuck Cadman may wish to
answer few questions now as well. Hard telling not knowing.
I will not bother you with the details of what I am sending
to you byway of the certified US Mail because I will be serving
identical material to many other Canadian Authorities in hand and tell
them I gave this stuff to you first and enclose a copy of this letter.
All that is important to me right now is that I secure proof that this
mail was sent before I make my way back home to the Maritimes.
However I will say I am also enclosing a great deal more material
than what Allan Rock had received in the UN. Some of it is in fact
the same material the two maritime lawyers, Rob Moore and Franky
Boy McKenna in particular received, while I was up home running for
Parliament last year. Things have changed greatly in the past year so
I have also included a few recent items to spice thing up for you.
I am tired of trying to convince people employed in law enforcement
to uphold the law. So all I will say for now is deal will your own conscience
and be careful how you respond to this letter. If you do not respond. Rest
assured I will do my best to sue you some day. Ignorance is no excuse to
the law or me.

What Happened
Paul Kennedy was removed as head of the Commission for Public
Complaints (CPC) regarding the RCMP after he advocated a more powerful
and independent Commission. He sought adequate funding for
investigations, increased accountability and improved service
standards. The Harper government appointed a Conservative Party ally
to replace him.
Paul Kennedy was appointed Chair of the Commission for Public
Complaints (CPC) Against the RCMP in 2005. He was re-appointed for
three more one-year terms in 2006, 2007 and 2008.
Throughout his tenure, Kennedy was known as a relentless advocate for
a more independent CPC. He believed that the CPC relied too heavily on
the cooperation of senior RCMP officials, and was too limited in
independent power to probe the RCMP’s activities, or to inquire into
witnesses’ testimonials and to demand the production of documents as
evidence.
Kennedy also advocated for better funding to oversee the RCMP so that
the CPC could investigate more cases and investigate them thoroughly.
He argued that the CPC’s budget of $5.2 million paled in comparison to
the RCMP’s $4.1 billion budget.
Public Safety Minister Peter Van Loan cut Kennedy’s budget by $600,000
in 2009, seriously limiting the scope of the CPC’s investigations.
Kennedy did get funding for the high-profile investigation into RCMP
involvement in the tasering death of Polish immigrant Robert
Dzienkanski at the Vancouver International Airpoirt in 2007, and his
work to reform RCMP policies on taser use. But that funding was only
made available temporary. Similar investigations in future might not
get the funding they need given the small size of the CPC’s budget.
Media sources have reported clashes between Kennedy and the
Conservative government during Kennedy’s time as head of CPC. He was
ridiculed by Conservative officials for his stance that Mounties’ work
requires proper review and that access to evidence and witnesses was
necessary in order to ensure accountability. Although the government
has promised reform monitoring of the RCMP, this promise was not kept
during Kennedy’s tenure.
Kennedy had other successes: during his tenure, the RCMP was under
public pressure to modify training and operational procedures. The
commission now regularly conducts reviews of RCMP activities and their
policies in self-investigation. Kennedy also addressed investigations
of death and verbal abuse involving RCMP officers, and proposed
legislative and policy changes to avoid conflicts of interest.
Kennedy’s final weeks in office were marked by the release of a report
strongly critical of the conduct of the RCMP officers involved in the
death of Robert Dziekanski. The RCMP would go on to accept all but one
of the findings in Kennedy’s CPC report, and address the report’s
recommendations, eventually creating an Office of Professional
Integrity, as well as a new policy to ensure independent and impartial
investigation of RCMP employees.
However, in November 2009, Public Safety Minister Peter Van Loan’s
office notified Kennedy that he would not be re-appointed after his
contract terminated that December. Kennedy had been prepared to serve
another term.
In January 2010, Ian McPhail, a long-time contributor to the
Conservative Party, was appointed interim chair of the CPC. McPhail
was a real-estate lawyer with some limited experience on other
commissions. Observers felt McPhail lacked the experience required
head the CPC. McPhail’s appointment was seen by Paul Kennedy and
others as a wholly partisan move, that placed a strong Conservative
ally in an important watchdog position. The replacement of Kennedy
with McPhail has been criticized as an attempt to silence Kennedy’s
criticism of the RCMP, thereby reducing accountability of the RCMP to
the government and the public.
In January 2010, Kennedy made an appearance on Parliament Hill to
express concerns about the fate of civilian oversight bodies under the
Harper government. He was joined by two other watchdogs who the
government had removed for dubious reasons: Peter Tinsley, who had
been the Military Police Complaints Commissioner; and Linda Keen,
former President of Canada’s nuclear safety regulator.
Kennedy has said the government was not willing to let the CPC fulfill
its intended purpose. He has also called on the government to
institute a fixed term for which a commissioner is appointed, so that
people who have a job to do on behalf of the public don’t end up
essentially working for the governing party.
In 2011 the new Minister of Public Safety, Vic Toews, re-appointed
McPhail as head of the CPC for another year.
Relevant Dates:
October 2005: Paul Kennedy is appointed Chair of the Commission for
Public Complaints (CPC) against the RCMP.
October 2007: Robert Dziekanski dies after being tasered by an RCMP
officer at the Vancouver International airport; Kennedy strongly
criticizes the way the situation was handled.
December 2008: Paul Kennedy is reappointed for another 1-year term as
Chair of the CPC, until December 31, 2009
August 11, 2009: Kennedy calls for policy changes to enhance
accountability of the RCMP.
November 18 2009: The government tells Kennedy his contract will not
be renewed.
December 8, 2009: Kennedy publishes a report criticizing some of the
RCMP’s actions.
January 24, 2010: The government appoints Ian McPhail as interim Chair
of the CPC.
January 26, 2010: Paul Kennedy, Peter Tinsley and Linda Keen hold a
press conference, expressing their concern over the government’s
silencing of watchdogs.
February 4, 2010: The RCMP announces a new policy to ensure
independent and impartial investigations of its employees.
Role or Position
Paul Kennedy was Chair of the Commission for Public Complaints (CPC)
Against the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) from 2005 to 2009.
Implications and Consequences
Transparency: The removal of Kennedy means the loss of a qualified
civil servant with over thirty five years experience in public
service, with a proven track record of creating change for increased
accountability.
Democracy: The effectiveness and independence of watchdog
organizations are compromised when leaders are appointed to short
one-years terms and removed at will by politicians. The slashing of
the CPC budget means in practice that there will be minimal oversight
of the RCMP.
Democracy: If public officials are removed and replaced whenever they
threaten to hold the government to account, the strength of our
democracy is diminished.

DEMAND IMMEDIATE APOLOGY FROM CANADIAN ALLIANCE MP
Tuesday, December 17, 2002 12:00 pm
John Cummins’ office replies ‘Get a life’ when invited to Maher Arar vigil
Ottawa, Canada – 17/12/02) – CAIR-CAN is calling on Canadians to demand
that John Cummins, member of Parliament of Delta-South Richmond, B.C.,
offer a public apology for recent remarks made by his office when Cummins
was invited to a silent vigil for Maher Arar. In response to the
invitation, Cummins’ office replied by email, “Get a life.”
Maher Arar is the Canadian citizen who was detained illegally in the United
States en route to Canada and deported to Jordan and then to Syria. Arar
was denied access to Canadian officials, prevented from calling his family,
tried through a non-transparent process without a lawyer present, and
deported to his country of birth in violation of international law. He is
currently being held in a Syrian jail.
The statement follows recent comments by Stephen Harper, Diane Ablonczy,
and Stockwell Day of the Canadian Alliance which condemn Arar without any
regard to his illegal deportation, the lack of a fair trial process, and in
the absence of any definitive evidence linking him to terrorism.
The remark made by John Cummins’ office is deeply insulting and a clear
breach of his duties as a public official,” said CAIR-CAN Executive
Director Riad Saloojee.
He should immediately offer an unqualified apology to the Arar family and
to all Canadians,” he added.
Stephen Harper
Tel: (613) 996-6740
Fax: (613) 947-0310
John Cummins
Tel: (613) 992-2957
Fax: (613) 992-3589
DEMAND an immediate apology from John Cummins for the remarks made by his
office yesterday.
INFORM Canadian Alliance leader Steven Harper that his party has failed in
its duty as the official opposition to defend the rights of a Canadian
citizen. Recent comments by his party indicate a troubling trend of
treating Maher Arar, a Canadian Muslim and Arab, as a second class citizen.
This rookie B.C. MP made headlines this year after he defended the PM's new
restrictions on media access in a column to his local paper. Mayes went
further and suggested journalists would be more responsible if they faced
jail terms for professional misconduct. "Boy, would the public get accurate
and true information if a few reporters were hauled away to jail! Maybe it
is time that we hauled off in handcuffs reporters that fabricate stories,
or twist information and even falsely accuse citizens." Mayes quickly
retracted his comments.
THE HERITAGE FRONT AFFAIR: OUR VIEW DISSENTING OPINION of the REFORM
PARTY of CANADA
Presented by Val Meredith, M.P.
THE TRUTH IS OUT THERE
It was nineteen months ago when the Sub-Committee on National Security
began its consideration of the Security Intelligence Review
Committee's Heritage Front Affair report. Finally, after a long and
often arduous effort, the Sub-Committee has tabled its report.
At this point in time, it is important to clarify a couple of
significant issues: The delays in producing the Sub-Committee report
have nothing to do with the activities of the opposition parties, but
rather are due solely to delays caused by membership changes and
disagreements among the government members.
Secondly, the so-called report of this Sub-Committee has little input
from the opposition members. The joint dissenting opinion of the Bloc
Quebecois and the Reform Party more accurately reflects the
multi-party consensus of the majority of members of this Sub-Committee
who actually participated in most of the Sub-Committee's hearings.
While the joint dissenting opinion does not fully reflect the Reform
Party's position on this issue, it is included to illustrate the
changes to the report imposed by the government members.
It must be noted that the major changes to this report did not occur
during a Sub-Committee meeting, and neither opposition member was
present. It is clear that the Liberal government was not prepared for
the Sub-Committee to table the more critical report that is now the
joint dissenting opinion. With regard to the official report of the
Sub-Committee, the current government members of the Sub-Committee
have produced an extremely emasculated version of the original report.
Their report is just an extension of SIRC's Heritage Front Affair
report which did not provide a sufficiently critical review of the
Canadian Security Intelligence Service's investigation.
THE SIRC REPORT SIRC claims to be the "eyes and ears of the public and
Parliament on the Canadian Security Intelligence Service." Yet after
months of consideration of the Heritage Front Affair report, it is
clear that SIRC has been not only negligent in this role, but
deliberately dishonest as well. Instead of providing Parliament with a
thorough and objective review of CSIS' use of a human source in its
investigation of the Heritage Front, SIRC's report exonerates CSIS and
the Source of any wrongdoing.
In its exoneration of CSIS, SIRC ignored or suppressed any evidence
that was inconsistent with their conclusion that the Service did no
wrong. SIRC has wilfully mislead Parliament and the Canadian people.
The exoneration of CSIS by SIRC is a betrayal of SIRC's role as a
review committee. While the Reform Party is deeply concerned with the
wrongdoings of CSIS, SIRC's refusal to address these transgressions in
an open and honest manner is cause for even greater concern.
After nineteen months of reviewing the SIRC report and obtaining
additional information, it is clear that SIRC is not fulfilling the
function that Parliament intended. Originally the Reform Party had
planned to do a thorough and critical review of the SIRC report,
pointing out numerous inaccuracies and omissions. However, because the
original version would have been too lengthy, we have chosen to focus
on two main issues: Grant Bristow - CSIS Source, and the CSIS
investigation concerning Preston Manning, that formed Chapter VIII of
the Heritage Front Affair. ; GRANT BRISTOW - CSIS HUMAN SOURCE Unlike
the government members of the Sub- Committee, I have no hesitancy in
identifying Grant Bristow as the CSIS Source who infiltrated the
Heritage Front.
This position is not an assumption, nor speculation. In August 1994, I
was contacted by an individual who had first-hand knowledge of Grant
Bristow as a CSIS Source. A former police source, this individual was
approached by Bristow, who offered to introduce him to a CSIS
investigator.
In September 1994 I accompanied this individual to a SIRC interview.
The information this individual provided is faithfully recorded in the
SIRC report at section 3.1.3, although it does not identify Bristow as
the Source.
In addition, at his appearance before the Sub- Committee on May 27,
1996, the Director of CSIS, Mr. Ward Elcock, inadvertently confirmed
that Bristow was indeed the CSIS Source. In his opening statement,
which was also provided in writing, the Director made the following
comment: "What about our source's arrest in Toronto, along with
American white supremacist Sean Maguire? That was a co-ordinated
operation with law enforcement agencies. Mr. Maguire was expelled from
Canada. Our source was released. No criminal offence was committed."
Now contrast the Director's above comments with the relevant passage
in SIRC's Heritage Front Affair report: "On September 20, 1991, Sean
Maguire and Grant Bristow were travelling in the latter's car, when
they were stopped at gunpoint by the heavily armed Metro Toronto
Emergency Task Force. Sean Maguire was arrested on an Immigration
warrant. RCMP and Immigration officials were on hand for the arrest,
as was a CSIS investigator from Toronto Region.
Grant Bristow, when he was stopped, had guns in the trunk of his car.
Both men were taken to police station 41." (emphasis added) It is
obvious from the above-mentioned information that Bristow is the CSIS
Source in question. It is an issue, because the way that SIRC wrote
their report, many of the questionable activities were committed by
Bristow, as opposed to the Source. So it is important to acknowledge
that Bristow was indeed the Source.
As expressed in paragraph 28 of the joint dissenting opinion ("Having
concluded that the placement of a human source was acceptable,
although for a shorter time than this Source was actually in place,
the opposition members of the Sub-Committee then asked themselves
whether the Service should have recruited and put in place this
particular Source?"), there were serious questions about using Bristow
as the Source. While SIRC made all efforts to downplay Bristow's role
in the creation and operation of the Heritage Front, clearly he was
responsible for much of the success of the organization.
The best indication of Bristow's role in the Heritage Front was the
video that the Front put out with excerpts of Bristow's speeches, that
had been edited out of the previously released videos. The excerpts
from this video show that Bristow was the main administrator of the
Heritage Front. He was responsible for the raising of money, for
selling memberships, literature and paraphernalia, and for getting
people out to Heritage Front rallies and demonstrations. His
questionable contributions can be best summarized from the one video
where he bragged that the Heritage Front in Toronto raised more money
to assist incarcerated members of the white supremacist terrorist
organization, The Order, than any other group in North America. ;
Bristow under police investigation.
There is one other aspect of Bristow's history that SIRC chose to
ignore, despite the fact that this incident was in the original
newspaper story that spawned their investigation. In 1993, the Metro
Toronto Police Force investigated Heritage Front members Carl Fischer,
Elkar Fischer and Andrew Maynard, for the kidnapping and assault of
Tyrone Mason, another Heritage Front member. During the course of
their investigation the police began to actively investigate Grant
Bristow.
The police investigators were so convinced that Bristow was involved
in witness tampering, that they applied to the courts and obtained a
Criminal Code Part VI warrant to intercept his communications. When
the Mason case finally made its way to trial in the fall of 1995, a
plea bargain was arranged. As a result of plea bargaining all charges
were dropped against Maynard, and though convicted, the Fischer
brothers received only a thirty day sentence to be served
intermittently.
Interestingly, a lawyer representing the federal government was
involved in the negotiations. It would appear that Bristow's role in
the incident prevented the Crown from aggressively prosecuting the
case. Despite frequently referring to this case in their testimony as
an example of the heinous activities that Heritage Front members were
capable of committing,
SIRC completely ignored the police investigation of Bristow's role in
the case. ; Bristow and the Reform Party. The Reform Party is also
deeply concerned about Bristow's activities within the Reform Party.
As reported in the SIRC report, CSIS was aware that Heritage Front
leader Wolfgang Droege "wanted to discredit Preston Manning and the
Reform Party before the general election in 1993. This idea would be
accomplished by the Movement publicly identifying itself and its
security relationship with the Reform Party's senior executive level.
Among those who allegedly knew of the Droege plan were Gerry Lincoln,
James Dawson, Ernst Zundel, Terry Long, Jurgen Neumann, Peter
Mitrevski, and Grant Bristow (emphasis added)." Not only was Bristow
aware of this plan to discredit the Reform Party, but he was one of
the major players in it. Bristow, along with Alan Overfield, were the
two individuals who made all the security arrangements.
While it was Overfield who originally offered the services of his
bailiff company to the Reform Party, he was not aware of Droege's plan
to discredit the party. Thus it was left to Bristow, a CSIS source, to
create the relationship.
According to the representative for the Reform Party, Andrew Flint,
Grant Bristow did a very effective job in creating the security
relationship between the Reform Party and the Heritage Front. In an
affidavit sworn on May 1, 1995, Flint described the June 1991 meeting
with Bristow and Overfield in the following manner: "The meeting was
dominated by Grant Bristow who did most of the talking regarding the
security for the event. I was certainly very impressed by his
immaculate dress which included an elegant suit and highly polished
shoes. This was the only meeting I attended involving security for the
up-coming rally."
Flint also mentioned that "at the meeting of the security team for the
June 1991 event at the International Centre, Grant Bristow requested a
letter from me stating that he and Al Overfield were authorized to
handle the security for this event. I was told he needed it to present
to the Regional Police which operated a sub-station on the premises of
the International Centre."
This letter is also mentioned in the SIRC report. However, the report
stated "Overfield asked for the letter in order to receive recognition
and to show that he was appointed. Grant Bristow's name was included
in the letter because he said: #145;Unless we have a letter of
understanding, there could be legal liabilities if there was a
confrontation with protesters at a Reform Party event.'
" Naturally, Bristow is the source of this information. It is
interesting that Bristow claimed that Overfield asked for the letter
to receive recognition, and that his own name appeared only for
liability purposes. If Bristow's name was necessary for liability
purposes, then why were the names of the other individuals who were
providing security not included as well?
In reality, the most useful application of this letter would have been
to prove a security arrangement between the Heritage Front and the
Reform Party. Yet, according to the SIRC report, Overfield was unaware
of the plan to discredit the Reform Party, so there is little reason
for him to request the letter. Bristow on the other hand, would
certainly have pleased Droege by providing him with a letter to
demonstrate that the security arrangement between the Reform Party and
the Heritage Front actually existed. SIRC's willingness to accept
Bristow's version of events is typical of their report.
Much of the report is based on the evidence of Bristow. He is cited as
the source of information 135 times; 96 times as the Source and a
further 39 times as Grant Bristow. In addition, the source handler is
cited 20 times as the basis of information.
SIRC has basically provided the public with Grant Bristow's version of
events, while contradictory information was generally dismissed. While
SIRC denied any wrongdoing by Bristow or CSIS, they failed to address
a very important issue - the entire operation was conducted in
violation of a 1989 Ministerial Direction.
On October 30, 1989 then Solicitor General Pierre Blais issued the
following Ministerial Direction on #145;CSIS' Use of Human Sources' to
the Director of CSIS. The Direction states in part: "that special care
is required in regard to investigations which impact on, or which
appear to impact on, the most sensitive institutions of our society. I
am primarily thinking in this regard of institutions in the academic,
political, religious, media or trade union fields.... I am writing
that you personally, or a Deputy Director designated by you in
writing, approve the use by the Service of confidential sources in
such investigation."
It is obvious that Bristow's role as one of two individuals who was
"jointly responsible for the security of all present and future Reform
Party Events that are planned for this region," would be part of a
human source operation that "impacted, or appeared to impact on a
political institution."
According to the Ministerial Direction, this would have required that
either the Director or the Deputy Director (Operations) approve
Bristow's role as part of the security team. In reality, Toronto
Region only sought out CSIS Headquarters' advice in August, two months
after the Mississauga rally, and even then the file did not go to the
Director or the Deputy Director.
SIRC goes on to great lengths to point out that CSIS was careful that
only Droege's activities as they related to the Reform Party were
investigated, not the Reform Party itself. But they do not address the
issue of a CSIS source operation that impacted on, or at least
appeared to impact upon a sensitive political institution, namely the
Reform Party. SIRC's refusal to address this issue is somewhat
mystifying, considering that was one of the questions that the Reform
Party specifically wanted answered when we put forth a series of
questions to SIRC in a letter, presented to them at the September 13,
1994 Sub-Committee meeting:
Question 73: Given the 1989 Ministerial Directive by then Solicitor
General Pierre Blais, concerning CSIS utilizing sources in sensitive
institutions such as political parties, religious groups and the
media, was the Director's approval required prior to Bristow's
attendance at the Reform Party meeting?;
Question 74: If yes, did the Director approve of this operation?
Bristow's role in the security group was indeed crucial in forming the
link between the Heritage Front and the Reform Party. As Andrew Flint
stated, he was impressed with Bristow's "knowledge of security
procedures and technical terminology...", as well as his "elegant suit
and highly polished shoes." Grant Bristow was the one member of the
Heritage Front who had the respectability and the expertise to make
Flint believe that he was dealing with a legitimate group of
individuals. It is extremely unlikely that Flint would have ever used
this group if he had met with skinheads or other Heritage Front
members.
In the final analysis, Wolfgang Droege had a plot to discredit the
Reform Party by linking the party to the Heritage Front through its
security arrangement.
Grant Bristow played a pivotal role in this conspiracy, if in no other
way than by providing the security group with the respectability and
expertise they could not have gotten elsewhere within the Heritage
Front.
When the story broke in 1992 the Reform Party was indeed discredited,
although there are no objective means to measure to what extent. It is
bad enough that Droege, an individual deemed to be a threat to the
security of Canada, devised a plot to discredit a legitimate political
party and CSIS did nothing about it. It is much worse when Grant
Bristow, a CSIS source, played an integral role in accomplishing this
task, in violation of a Ministerial Direction. But it is a complete
travesty when SIRC, the body that Parliament established to monitor
CSIS, fails to even address the issue. CSIS INVESTIGATION OF PRESTON
MANNING While compiling its report on the Heritage Front Affair, SIRC
included a chapter that had nothing to do with the Heritage Front. It
was about the Reform Party and a foreign government, subsequently
identified as South Africa. SIRC wanted us to believe that by
including this chapter they could allay any fears amongst Reformers
that CSIS had investigated the party, or the leadership.
In the SIRC report, the CSIS investigation is portrayed as a
by-the-book, straight-forward operation. Upon closer inspection this
investigation proved to be anything but straight- forward. Rather than
allaying any of our concerns about CSIS investigations, SIRC's
willingness to lie about the facts has made the Reform Party even more
suspicious.
Through a Privacy Act request by Preston Manning, CSIS released its
documents on this investigation. Although they are heavily censored,
the documents show that SIRC withheld information and misrepresented
the facts in their report, so that they could demonstrate that CSIS
conducted a proper investigation. Any evidence that was contradictory
to their conclusion was suppressed.
In the following pages, we will review the actual investigation,
SIRC's version of the investigation, and the bizarre fallout from this
chapter of their report. In exchanges of correspondence and testimony
that occurred after the tabling of the report, we learned that CSIS
documents were altered and misdated.
We observed SIRC make admissions, and then subsequently retract these
admissions, completely contradicting their earlier statements and
testimony. The Director of CSIS also provided a version of events that
not only contradicted his earlier testimony, but also required him to
admit that almost everyone who touched this file made mistakes.
In the final analysis, the Reform Party is convinced that CSIS
launched an insupportable investigation of Preston Manning in 1989,
and tried to cover it up five months later. Both the current
management at CSIS and SIRC have continued that cover-up, frequently
changing their story when confronted with facts that did not fit their
version of the events. ;
A dubious source sparks an investigation. As SIRC reported, and the
CSIS documents confirm, this investigation began with a tip from a
source who was described by the CSIS investigator as "self-serving and
very opportunistic, particularly if it benefited himself." This
dubious source informed CSIS about a conversation that he had with a
board member of an association that promoted links between South
Africa and Canada. This source then stated that the board member said
that his group was giving money to Preston Manning's campaign, as
Manning was running against External Affairs Minister Joe Clark.
This information by itself should not have been of interest to CSIS.
In democracies, citizens can financially support whoever they want in
an election, for whatever reason. For CSIS to investigate they needed
information that South Africa was actually providing the money. During
the first meeting between CSIS and this dubious source, the source
stated that he thought the board member meant that the money was
coming from South Africa. When the source realized that he did not
have the key piece of evidence that CSIS required, he miraculously
obtained it less than three weeks later. The source stated that he had
been talking to an unidentified, close associate of the board member,
who supposedly told him that the South Africans may have contributed
as much as $45,000 to Preston Manning and the Reform Party in trying
to defeat Joe Clark in his riding of Yellowhead. This is the extent of
CSIS' information about the Manning campaign receiving money from a
foreign government.
Third-hand information from a source who is not only of unknown
reliability, but who had been identified by the CSIS investigator as
"self-serving and opportunistic", should not be the basis of a CSIS
investigation of any Canadian citizen, much less the leader of a
legitimate political party. ; CSIS analyst stated, basis for
investigation "difficult to support"! We are not the only ones to
question the validity of this investigation.
After the regional investigator sent two reports to CSIS Headquarters
in November 1988, a response from the HQ analyst on the South Africa
desk was sent to the region in January 1989. As the SIRC report
acknowledged, the analyst stated that in HQ's opinion, the source of
the alleged funding was most likely the group of Canadian businessmen
who belonged to the association. But when the analyst addressed the
possibility of foreign funding, SIRC did not accurately portray the
analyst's comments. The analyst did state that, "if it were shown that
South Africa indeed contributed as much as $45,000 to Manning's
campaign, HQ could in time attempt to make the argument that South
Africa is unduly influencing Canadian politics." However, SIRC chose
not to include the following sentence by the analyst in their report:
"To say the least, this kind of argument would be difficult to
support."
Since the analyst had stated that there was no basis for a CSIS
investigation, contradicting SIRC's conclusion that it was a
legitimate investigation, SIRC chose to suppress this line. It is the
only line in that section of the report that SIRC did not include in
the Heritage Front Affair report. The HQ analyst concluded this
January 10, 1989 message by requesting that the region keep "HQ
apprised of any forthcoming information which you may obtain in light
of the above."
There was no further information forwarded by the region. Rather, the
next document that appears in Manning's file is an authorization of a
TARC Level 1 investigation, dated October 17, 1989. ; Lead up to the
TARC Level 1 investigation - January 10, 1989 to October 17, 1989.
While there is a great deal of controversy over what happened between
October 17, 1989 and March 30, 1990, we are equally perplexed about
what happened between January 10, 1989 and October 17, 1989.
The Reform Party has never received a logical answer to why an analyst
on the South African desk in CSIS HQ stated that there was no basis
for an investigation into the alleged contribution to Preston Manning
on January 10, 1989, and yet without any additional, or new,
information, an analyst on the South African desk in CSIS HQ submitted
a request for a TARC Level 1 investigation on October 17, 1989? SIRC
attempted to provide the following as an answer: A reliable source
provided CSIS with information that a foreign country (read South
Africa) had transferred over a quarter of a million dollars to Canada,
to try to influence 24 Members of Parliament from other political
parties (read Progressive Conservatives and Liberals).
When asked, SIRC stated that CSIS did not take any steps to
investigate these M.P.s. If the information about South Africa funding
these 24 M.P.s did indeed inspire the investigation, why was there no
mention of this on the form (REQUEST FOR AND APPROVAL OF COLLECTION
LEVELS 1, 2 AND CATEGORY A aka 4002) authorizing the investigation?
It is therefore unlikely that this information played any role in the
investigation. SIRC would still have us believe that CSIS received
information from a reliable source that the South African Government
was using over a quarter of million dollars to influence 24
Conservative and Liberal M.P.s, but did not investigate them. Instead,
CSIS proceeded to launch an investigation of Preston Manning, who was
neither an M.P., nor a Progressive Conservative nor a Liberal.
We find SIRC's logic to be less than satisfying. ; The Actual
Investigation: Who, What, When, Why? >From the moment the Solicitor
General tabled the Heritage Front Affair report, one particular
passage has caused a great deal of grief for the Sub-Committee, SIRC
and CSIS. This passage resulted in a number of admissions,
explanations, contradictions, retractions and accusations.
The Reform Party believes that the best way to present this complex
subject is in the following chronological manner:
December 15, 1994 The Solicitor General tabled SIRC's report, the
Heritage Front Affair, in the House of Commons. Included in section
VIII, at paragraph 8.3 is the following passage: "On October 17, 1989,
the Service decided to formally investigate the alleged $45,000
contribution. CSIS said that they could not go back to the informant
as all contacts had ended on December 31, 1988.
The Service authorized a three-month Level 1 investigation entitled:
#145;LNU FNU (Unknown Contributor(s) to Preston Manning's Electoral
Campaign)'. The Service cited section 12 and paragraph 2 (b) of the
CSIS Act as the legal basis for the investigation." ;
December 16, 1994 ;SIRC appeared before the Sub-Committee on National
Security. Having been advised that the above-mentioned passage was
inaccurate, the Reform Party made the following request:
Ms. Meredith: "Can you have your officials go back to CSIS and have
them examine the hard copy of the original authorization of the Level
one investigation on the Reform Party and a foreign government, not
just the corrected copies? Specifically, can your employees examine
the caption on the file?"
Summary - After the meeting, the Reform Party was approached by SIRC
research officials. They asked what they should be looking for
specifically. This led the Reform Party to believe that SIRC was not
aware of a changed caption. ;
January 27, 1995 In a letter from Maurice Archdeacon, the Executive
Director of SIRC, to Derek Lee, M.P., the Chairman of the
Sub-Committee on National Security, Val Meredith's request was
answered in the following manner:
"Ms. Meredith, M.P. requested that SIRC have its officials re-examine
the original authorization of the Level I investigation on the Reform
Party and a foreign government. Specifically, Ms. Meredith asked to be
told what the caption was on the file.
The nature of Ms. Meredith's question suggests that the answer may
well already be known to her. Nevertheless, the caption she referred
to for the targeting authority dated October 17, 1989 was #145;Preston
Manning.' The caption was revised on March 30, 1990 to state,
#145;LNU/FNU (Unknown Contributor(s) to Preston Manning's Electoral
Campaign).'
I would be remiss if I did not point out that, aside from the amended
caption, there were no other changes to the text of the targeting
requests/authorizations. That is, the text in each of the documents
was identical, and clearly stated that the investigation was to
determine whether a #145;foreign influence' threat existed. CSIS did
not suspect Mr. Manning of complicity..."
Summary - Mr. Archdeacon admitted that the name on the targeting
authority dated October 17, 1989 was #145;Preston Manning.' He also
mentioned that "there were no other changes to the text of the
targeting request/authorizations. That is, the text in each of the
documents was identical." It is quite apparent that Mr. Archdeacon is
stating that there were two versions of the same document, with the
only change being to the caption. From his choice of words being the
#145;targeting request/authorizations', there is no doubt that Mr.
Archdeacon is referring to the form 4002. ;
March 30, 1995 The Solicitor General appears before the Standing
Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs, for the Main Estimates. He is
accompanied by his Deputy Minister and the heads of the various
agencies under his control, including Mr. Ward Elcock, Director of
CSIS. The Reform Party asked Mr. Elcock a number of questions about
this particular investigation.
The following excerpts are from the transcript of this meeting: (Page 15)
Ms. Meredith: "Can you explain then why Mr. Manning's name was used
for a TARC level one investigation and why that investigation was not
conducted under the foreign government?"
Mr. Elcock: "I don't know why that name was used. I suspect that, as
much as anything else, it may have been just used as a convenient tag.
I don't know the precise reason why it was used, but there is no
question from the file that at any time the subject of the
investigation was ever Mr. Manning himself."
Ms. Meredith: "Why was that file named under Mr. Manning, then, and
not under #145;unknown contributor?'"
Mr. Elcock: "I said, Mr. Chairman, that I didn't know the reason why
that name was used. It clearly was in error, because in substance, the
investigation at all times was an investigation of the actions of a
foreign government, not an investigation of Mr. Manning."
(Page 17) Ms. Meredith: "So Mr. Manning's name never came up under a
requisition or a request for a TARC Level One investigation?"
Mr. Elcock: "It was in the sense, Mr. Chairman, that the title of the
TARC was initially in Mr. Manning's name. His name was there. Was
there an investigation of Mr. Manning? Absolutely not."
Ms. Meredith: "I didn't ask if there was an investigation of Mr.
Manning. I asked if a TARC Level was ever instituted under Mr.
Manning's name?"
Mr. Elcock: "The answer, Mr. Chairman, was that there was a TARC Level
in Mr. Manning's name. But as I have said, the subject of that TARC
was not Mr. Manning at any time, ever."
(Page 34) Ms. Meredith: "I have your policy manual here, the
declassified version of the CSIS Operational Manual. For a TARC Level
one authority, an investigator must submit a request for an approval
form, CSIS form 4002. There's a space for the name of the individual
to be investigated. Can you tell me whose name was in that spot on the
form 4002 in question, signed on October 17, 1989?"
Mr. Elcock: "As I think I said earlier, there was in the TARC title
Mr. Manning's name. However, as I said quite clearly, the subject of
that file was at all times an investigation of contributions in terms
of the possibility of contributions having been made by a foreign
government to a Canadian political party. It was at no time an
investigation of Mr. Manning himself, notwithstanding the title. I
would that (sic) the title had been otherwise, but it wasn't. That's
the fact."
Summary - During this meeting, the Director of CSIS made it quite
clear that on October 17, 1989 the TARC Level 1 authorization, the
form 4002, was on Preston Manning. Mr. Elcock did not once suggest
that the caption was "Unknown Contributor(s) to Preston Manning's
Electoral Campaign." (Nor did Mr. Elcock suggest that the error
occurred with a different document known as a FILE OPENING REQUEST -
PEOPLE FILES form.) At this same meeting the Reform Party also
questioned the Director as to why SIRC was not made aware that the
original 4002 was in the name of #145;Preston Manning'.
That led to the following exchange: (Page 17)
Ms. Meredith: "Can you explain to me why that information wasn't
provided to SIRC? In their report, they reported very thoroughly on
that investigation, with the exception of the original TARC level?"
Mr. Elcock: "Why what information?"
Ms. Meredith: "That the TARC level on Mr. Manning was excluded from
the SIRC report, that SIRC was unaware of that having happened?"
Mr. Elcock: "I don't know that in fact SIRC was unaware. I don't know
why they would not have put it in their report or would have chosen
not to do that. That's SIRC's business, and you would have to address
that question to SIRC."
Ms. Meredith: "When we brought it to SIRC's attention, they were
unaware of that fact. It was only by it being brought to their
attention that they were able to go back and find out the information.
So I assumed from that they did not know that information was not
provided to them, and I would like to know why it wasn't?"
Mr. Elcock: "I don't know that that assumption is correct; I would
have to check. In fact, my belief is that they did have that
information, but I'll certainly check that for the hon. member."
Summary - This was the first information that the Reform Party
received that SIRC was aware that the original TARC Level was on
Preston Manning. ;
March 31, 1995 In response to Mr. Elcock's testimony, Val Meredith
wrote to SIRC, seeking clarification of what SIRC knew and when. "Was
any member or employee of SIRC aware that the original TARC
investigation launched on October 17, 1989 (was) in the name of
Preston Manning and not "LNU FNU (Unknown Contributor(s) to Preston
Manning's Electoral Campaign), when the Heritage Front Affair report
was tabled on December 9, 1994?" Summary - The Reform Party
specifically asked SIRC if they knew prior to the tabling of their
report that the TARC investigation was in the name of #145;Preston
Manning.' ;
April 7, 1995 In a letter, under the name of Jacques Courtois, P.C.,
Q.C., but signed by Maurice Archdeacon, Val Meredith's letter was
responded to in the following fashion: "You asked whether any member
or employee of SIRC was aware of the TARC investigation launched on
October 17, 1989 in the name of Preston Manning and not the corrected
title. SIRC staff saw the original title of the targeting
authorization, as well as the corrected title and all other documents
pertaining to the investigation. As I mentioned in my letter dated
January 27, 1995 to Mr. Derek Lee, M.P. Chairperson of the
Sub-Committee on National Security, the description (narrative text)
of the authorization never changed... The original caption was seen
for what it was - an error, and the Service corrected that error five
years ago."
Summary - Once again SIRC admitted that the caption on the TARC on
October 17, 1989 was in the name of Preston Manning. They also
admitted that they knew this prior to tabling their report. Although
Mr. Archdeacon does not specifically state why SIRC chose to exclude
this information from their report, the only possible explanation they
offer for its exclusion is that the original caption was seen as an
error, and that CSIS corrected that error in 1990. ;
June 20, 1995 SIRC appeared before the National Security Sub-Committee
for the Main Estimates. The Reform Party asked SIRC a number of
questions about this particular investigation.
The following excerpts are from the transcript of this meeting: (Page 7)
Ms. Meredith: "Are you trying to tell this committee that there was
not a TARC Level one investigation opened on Preston Manning?"
Mr. Archdeacon: "No, I'm not, obviously, because we're repeating
discussions we had over several hours earlier. You know very well that
I'm not doing so. Someone - and we admitted it was sloppy work, and
I'm sure the Director of CSIS would admit that - instead of taking the
trouble to write on the TARC title #145;Unknown Contributor to Preston
Manning's campaign' just wrote #145;Preston Manning.' The text,
however, in the TARC report makes it absolutely clear - and you read
the text - that Mr. Manning was not being investigated. We can't say
it any more than this. It's question asked and answered."
(Page 20)
Mr. Archdeacon: "The fact is at the moment you're looking at the form
- I understand your point - and saying the form of that 4002 gave the
impression, because the name Preston Manning was there, that the TARC
was on Preston Manning. That is the form of it."
Summary - SIRC once again confirmed that the 4002 was in the name of
Preston Manning. Mr. Archdeacon went so far as to state that he
obviously wasn't denying that there was a TARC Level one investigation
opened on Preston Manning. ;
June 21, 1995 to November 7, 1995 During this time period, the
Sub-Committee on National Security considered its report on the
Heritage Front Affair. During these meetings, the Sub-Committee was
operating on the understanding that the original 4002 was in the name
of "Preston Manning" and this was altered to "LNU/FNU (Unknown
Contributor(s) to Preston Manning's Electoral Campaign" on March 30,
1990. ; November 9, 1995 To clarify questions about alterations to
4002, and who knew about the caption "Preston Manning", the
Sub-Committee sent a letter to the Director of CSIS. The following are
the key excerpts from this letter: "On January 27, 1995, SIRC advised
the Subcommittee, in response to its questions, that the caption on
the October 17, 1989 targeting authority dealt with in Chapter VIII of
the SIRC Report was originally #145;Preston Manning.' The Review
Committee went on in the same letter to advise us that the caption was
changed on March 30, 1990 to read #145;LNU-FNU (Unknown Contributor(s)
to Preston Manning's Electoral Campaign).' How was the caption change
made on the Form 4002 - was the original form altered or was the
original form destroyed and a new, back-dated, re-signed or
re-initialled form created? Another of the documents contained in the
file obtained by Mr. Manning is a November 10, 1989 Transit Slip (Form
3040) from the Chief of Counter Intelligence - General Desk to the
Director General of Counter Intelligence. I would like to draw your
attention to item 5 on this document where it is asserted #145;caption
is considered appropriate under policy provision.' Can you provide the
Subcommittee with an explanation of this assertion in light of the
fact that at the time the caption read #145;Preston Manning' and was
not changed until March 30, 1990? If the caption was appropriate as it
was on November 10, 1989, what made it unacceptable on March 30,
1990?" Summary - These questions challenged SIRC's and CSIS'
contention that #145;Preston Manning's' name appearing in caption was
just a #145;clerical error.' It would be difficult for CSIS to
maintain the #145;clerical error' excuse if the Director General of
Counterintelligence was aware of the caption, and agreed with it. ;
March 29, 1996 According to CSIS, they did not receive the November 9,
1995 letter from the Sub-Committee until this date. There is no
explanation as to what happened to the letter during the intervening 4
1/2 months. ;
April 15, 1996 The Director of CSIS responded to the Sub-Committee's
letter of November 9, 1995. In a complete departure from previous
statements and testimony from CSIS and SIRC, the Director contended
that the Form 4002 never read #145;Preston Manning', but the original
caption was #145;Unknown Contributor(s) to Preston Manning's Electoral
Campaign.' Key excerpts from his letter are as follows: "In response
to your query regarding the #145;REQUEST FOR AND APPROVAL OF
COLLECTION LEVELS 1, 2 AND CATEGORY A' form, dated October 17, 1989, I
am satisfied that this is the original document associated with this
file. As is shown on this form, the original caption was #145;Unknown
Contributor(s) to Preston Manning's Electoral Campaign'. The
collection authority and a second form, #145;FILE OPENING REQUEST -
PEOPLE FILES', is required by the Service's Information Management
branch, in order to create a file. It was at this stage in the process
that the clerical error occurred regarding this file caption. In an
effort to facilitate the electronic opening and future retrieval of
this file and the relevant documents, the caption that was erroneously
entered on the #145;FILE OPENING REQUEST - PEOPLE FILES' form was
#145;Preston Manning'. This error caused the creation of an automated
hard copy file under this incorrect caption. It was during the latter
part of March, 1990, while preparing this assessment report, that the
file caption error was corrected. Item 5 on the #145;TRANSIT SLIP'
(Form 3040), dated November 10, 1989, discusses the appropriateness of
the caption as presented originally - #145;Unknown Contributor(s) to
Preston Manning's Electoral Campaign' and the comments indicate that
the author believed the caption to be appropriate."
Summary - This was an astounding development. The Director totally
contradicted 15 months of statements and testimony from both SIRC and
himself. According to the January 27, 1995 letter from Maurice
Archdeacon to Derek Lee, M.P., the targeting authority (form 4002)
read #145;Preston Manning' on October 17, 1989 and was changed on
March 30, 1990. Mr. Elcock made no reference to this fact in his
letter. Nor does the Director address his own testimony before the
Standing Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs on March 30, 1995,
where the following exchange took place:
Ms. Meredith: "So Mr. Manning's name never came up under a requisition
or a request for a TARC Level One investigation?"
Mr. Elcock: "It was in the sense, Mr. Chairman, that the title of TARC
was initially in Mr. Manning's name. His name was there. Was there an
investigation of Mr. Manning? Absolutely not."
Ms. Meredith: "I didn't ask if there was an investigation of Mr.
Manning. I asked if a TARC Level was instituted under Mr. Manning's
name?"
Mr. Elcock: "The answer Mr. Chairman, was that there was a TARC Level
in Mr. Manning's name."
There is no explanation of why Mr. Elcock would state on March 30,
1995 that "the title of the TARC was initially in Mr. Manning's name,"
and then on April 15, 1996 he would write that "the original caption
was #145;Unknown Contributor(s) to Preston Manning's Electoral
Campaign.'"
It must also be noted that in none of the correspondence or testimony
from CSIS or SIRC, between December 16, 1994 and April 14, 1996, was
there even a single mention of a "FILE OPENING REQUEST - PEOPLE FILES"
form. This particular form was certainly known to CSIS, as it was
included in Preston Manning's Privacy Act request. However, subsequent
investigation and testimony would show that Mr. Elcock was not
completely forthcoming in this letter. ;
May 15, 1996 SIRC appeared before the Sub-Committee on National
Security for the Main Estimates. While there was little discussion
about this issue at this meeting, the following exchanges occurred:
(page 30)
Mr. Discepola: "I'd like to know, then, in your opinion why in the
world Preston Manning's name was used at all in any of the
documentation that related to the investigation of the suspected third
country contribution to the election campaign."
Mr. Archdeacon: "I've forgotten the exact date but the original title
was #145;Unknown Contributor to Preston Manning's Election Campaign.'
It should of had more on it then that, but that was the exact title.
It was not titled #145;Preston Manning', and Mrs. Meredith has a copy
of the sheets of paper. Here it is, and the title on it is
#145;Unknown Contributor(s) to Preston Manning's Electoral Campaign.'
Then there's the text of what is to be looked at, which is whether
somebody, some country, was going to contribute money to Preston
Manning's electoral campaign. When you have a TARC like that you must
open a file, and this TARC was sent down to the management information
section in CSIS. Because it didn't have LNU/FNU in front of the
#145;Unknown Contributor(s)', which means last name unknown, first
name unknown, the only name the clerk down there could see was Preston
Manning, and you have to have a name on a file. So he didn't write
#145;Unknown Contributor(s)' , he wrote #145;Preston Manning'. That
was an error. He shouldn't have done that. That error remained like
that for at least three months without being corrected. It wasn't
corrected until about March, when the assessment was being done. There
have been allegations that the title on the TARC was changed. Written
in ink was #145;LNU/FNU' ahead of what had always been there and had
never been changed. Because Mrs. Meredith was so sure of this, and
because we knew she had our information from somewhere else, we
decided to have the original TARC X-rayed. We have exact evidence that
everything Mrs. Meredith has said about this - about it having been
titled #145;Preston Manning', about things having been typed around
it, and about all those sorts of things - is completely and totally
incorrect. The file was mistitled and the file does not give anybody
any reason to investigate anybody. A file title does not authorize
anybody to investigate anybody. There was never any time when every
CSIS agent across the country could have investigated Mr. Manning.
That is a figment of someone's imagination." (page 32)
Ms. Meredith: "Then I would like to put something on the record, Mr.
Chair. I'd like to put on the record, Mr. Archdeacon, that the
comments you just made are in complete contradiction to a letter on
January 27, 1995, addressed to Mr. Derek Lee, and in testimony you've
given before this committee. It's a complete contradiction."
The Chairman: "I'm sure SIRC would want to address that. Perhaps this
is something that can be clarified later. Can I take it, Mr.
Archdeacon, Mr. Courtois, that you would differ?"
Mr. Archdeacon: "We would differ with that characterization." ;
Summary - Mr. Archdeacon's comments are a complete departure from
SIRC's previous correspondence and testimony.
First of all, it was not Ms. Meredith who stated that the original
TARC was captioned #145;Preston Manning', it was Mr. Archdeacon
himself who first made this statement in his letter of January 27,
1995, when he stated:; "The caption she referred to for the targeting
authority dated October 17, 1989 was #145;Preston Manning'.
The caption was revised on March 30, 1990 to state, #145;LNU/FNU
(Unknown Contributor(s) to Preston Manning's Electoral Campaign).'"
Then there is the letter that Mr. Archdeacon signed on April 7, 1995,
in which he stated:; "You asked whether any member or employee of SIRC
was aware of the TARC investigation launched on October 17, 1989 in
the name of Preston Manning and not the corrected title. SIRC staff
saw the original title of the targeting authorization, as well as the
corrected title and all other documents pertaining to the
investigation."
Once again Mr. Archdeacon confirmed that the original title was
"Preston Manning", and admitted that SIRC staff saw both the original
title of the targeting authorization, as well as the corrected title.
If, as Mr. Archdeacon maintained on May 15, 1996, the original title
was "Unknown Contributor(s) to Preston Manning's Electoral Campaign",
why would he state in two pieces of correspondence that the caption
was "Preston Manning".
Furthermore, during SIRC's appearance before the National Security
Sub-Committee meeting on June 20, 1995, there was this exchange:;
Ms. Meredith: "Are you trying to tell this committee that there was
not a TARC Level one investigation opened on Preston Manning?"
Mr. Archdeacon: "No, I'm not obviously, because we're repeating
discussions we had over several hours earlier. You know very well that
I'm not doing so. Someone - and we admitted it was sloppy work, and
I'm sure the Director of CSIS would admit that - instead of taking the
trouble to write on the TARC title #145;Unknown Contributor to Preston
Manning's Campaign' just wrote #145;Preston Manning.'"
Mr. Archdeacon made no effort to explain why, on May 15, 1996, he told
the Sub-Committee that there was not a TARC Level one investigation
opened on Preston Manning, when on June 20, 1995 he stated the exact
opposite.
Clearly, Mr. Archdeacon and SIRC have fully endorsed the April 15,
1996 letter from the Director of CSIS. Like Mr. Elcock, they make no
effort to explain the contradictions.
There is one comment of Mr. Archdeacon that would be contradicted by
the CSIS Director two weeks later. Mr. Archdeacon made a definitive
statement that the error was caused by a clerk in the Management
Information Section, who wrote "Preston Manning." As we will see in
the next section, this statement has no basis in fact, but is rather a
figment of Mr. Archdeacon's imagination. ;
May 27, 1996 Mr. Elcock appeared before the Sub-Committee to answer
questions about the Heritage Front Affair. During his appearance the
Reform Party asked him about a number of discrepancies contained in
his letter of April 15, 1996.
Four of the specific subjects that were broached, included:
I) The Altered #145;FILE OPENING REQUEST - PEOPLE FILES' Form. In his
letter, Mr. Elcock stated, "the caption that was erroneously entered
on the #145;FILE OPENING REQUEST - PEOPLE FILES' form was #145;Preston
Manning.'" However, the copy of that form that Mr. Manning received in
his Privacy Act request did not read #145;Preston Manning', but rather
#145;Unknown Contributor(s) to Preston Manning's Electoral Campaign'.
It is obvious that the section of the form for the subject's name has
been altered, as have the sections for #145;Present Address' and
#145;Occupation'.
The following exchange took place in relation to this form:
Ms. Meredith: "Mr. Elcock, your letter clearly states that it was on
this file, this PEOPLE FILES form here, and if people look carefully
you can see where there has been alterations made to this document.
The alterations have been made not only on the subject line, but on
the #145;Occupation' line and the #145;Present Address' line. Your
letter states that it was this form that Preston Manning's name was
put on by mistake. I'm asking you why does this form not have Preston
Manning's name on it? It has #145;Unknown Contributor(s) to Preston
Manning's Electoral Campaign."
Mr. Elcock: "Mr. Chairman, Mr. Sundstrom reminds me that although it
doesn't show here underneath, it was just Preston Manning when the
form was first completed."
Ms. Meredith: "So, if you agree, or if you read Mr. Archdeacon's
comments where he noted it had been a clerk and it was a clerk in the
Management Information Section that changed the document from
#145;Unknown Contributor to Preston Manning' and put Preston Manning's
name in it. It's obvious that #145;Occupation' and #145;Present
Address' have also been altered, changed, whited-out. Did this clerk
also put Preston Manning's address and his occupation in there? Do
they have the right to just add that in as they saw fit?"
Mr. Elcock: "Mr. Chairman, it compounded the clerical error, but
there's nothing that prevents them from adding those details."
Summary - While Mr. Elcock confirmed that the #145;Subject Name',
#145;Occupation' and #145;Present Address' sections were all altered,
he maintained that it was a "clerical error". Well it might be
possible that a CSIS clerk would not use the proper caption in this
case, it is ludicrous to suggest that the clerk would, on his or her
own initiative, add Mr. Manning's address and occupation. Besides, if
as CSIS and SIRC maintain, Mr. Manning was never investigated, how did
CSIS even know his present address. In any event, as we shall see in
section #145;IV', the story of the clerk making a mistake is soon
retracted. ;
II) Citing a document two weeks before it existed. In the form 4002,
which authorized the TARC Level 1 investigation on October 17, 1989,
there is a reference to a proposed meeting between Mr. Manning and an
unidentified Ambassador. The reference goes on to state that the
meeting was canceled at the last minute by the Embassy. Only one
N.S.R. (CSIS database) message in the package obtained by Mr. Manning
in his Privacy Act request contained this information. It was dated
November 1, 1989, two weeks after the form 4002 was supposedly
completed.
Questions about this discrepancy went as follows:
Ms. Meredith: "Can I get you to go to tab #145;L' in the documents
that we've provided for you? This document is the only document that
was received under the access, under the Privacy Act, to Mr. Manning,
that makes any reference to an Ambassador and Preston Manning meeting,
and the meeting being canceled by the Embassy. Can you give me the
date of that message?"
Mr. Elcock: "The date at the top is 89- 11-01."
Ms. Meredith: "What does that equate to... November 1, 1989?"
Mr. Elcock: "Yes, it should do."
Ms. Meredith: "How is it possible that this message number and this
date can be an additional background on a document that is dated
October 17, 1989? How is it possible that this information is on a
document when it didn't exist at the time?"
Mr. Elcock: "The honourable member is concluding that it's the same
reference; I don't know that it is."
Ms. Meredith: "If that is not the report, then why was the report not
included in the Privacy request by Mr. Manning? This is the only
document that was in the information provided to him."
Mr. Elcock: "I will check and see what the date is and advise the
committee what the date of the document was."
Summary - The Reform Party did ask, in writing, for CSIS to confirm
the date of this message. At the time this dissenting opinion was
written, CSIS had not responded to our request. If this is the report
in question, then it lends credence to the suggestion that this form
4002 was re-written some time after October 17, 1989. It also suggests
that someone believed that the original justification for the
investigation was so weak, that additional information had to be
provided. If, on the other hand, there was documentation withheld from
Mr. Manning's Privacy request, one wonders what else has been
withheld. ;
III) The Altered Form 4002. If the inclusion of information from a
message that was not yet reported suggested that the form 4002 had
been re-written, another fact that supported this suggestion was that
the date on the top right corner of the document had been altered. The
Reform Party employed the services of forensic consultant, an expert
in the examination of questioned documents, who stated "as a matter of
information it should be noted that within the questioned handwritten
digital date #145;1989-10-17' on exhibit A1 (a), partially within and
immediately above the handwritten numbers there exist undecipherable
fragmentary markings foreign to the handwritten #145;1989-10-17'
numbers."
This information led to the following exchange:
Ms. Meredith: "Mr. Elcock, I want to bring your attention back to the
first page of form 4002 and I want you to look at the handwritten date
at the top, right-hand corner. That handwritten date was altered,
wasn't it? Tab #145;B'."
Mr. Elcock: "And it goes back, I think, to the piece that you had
asked... I noted that Mr. Archdeacon had indicated the piece had been
X-rayed and in fact there was another date underneath."
Ms. Meredith: "Can you tell the committee what the date was that was
underneath?"
Mr. Elcock: "The date was 1990...March 29, 1990."
Ms. Meredith: "Thank you, Mr. Elcock. I think that just proves what I
have considered, that this document was typed up in full with a
changed subject-matter on March 29, 1990; that this document did not
originate on October 17, 1989."
Mr. Elcock: "No, Mr. Chairman, I don't agree that it does."
Ms. Meredith: "Can you explain how the date March 29, 1990 would be at
the top of that file if that was not the case?"
Mr. Elcock: "At the time, often the dates on those files, on those
documents are left open and completed later when the documents are
first issued because they don't have a file number either when they're
first issued."
Ms. Meredith: "Mr. Elcock, so you want me to believe, you want this
committee to believe that they filled in the form, that the effective
date was put in at the bottom, the expiry date was put in at bottom,
that it was signed off and the date was put in at the bottom, but that
at the top it wasn't. Is that what you want this committee to
believe?"
Mr. Elcock: "I believe there was a mistake made. We believed that at
the time the typist entered the date and subsequently crossed out
because she had mistakenly entered it and they put back in the
appropriate date."
Summary - Although Mr. Elcock admitted that the form 4002 carried the
date March 29, 1990, he maintained that this was the original 4002
filled out on October 17, 1989. His argument that the date wasn't put
in because the document did not have a file number is extremely weak,
since the FILE OPENING REQUEST - PEOPLE FILES form that was signed on
October 17, 1989 was filled out specifically to obtain a file number.
In the documents obtained by Mr. Manning under his Privacy Act
request, we know that the first N.S.R. message that was sent on this
file was dated October 17, 1989, and since a message can not be sent
without a file number, a file number was obviously assigned on this
date. It is highly unlikely that CSIS would wait an additional five
months to fill in the rest of this form. This admission also calls
into question the testimony of Mr. Archdeacon from May 15, 1996, who
first brought up the subject of having the form X-rayed, and then
stated the form was never changed. ;
IV) Both Documents filled out by the Same Individual. The last area of
questioning concerned the contention put forth by CSIS and SIRC, that
the error in captions occurred not with the form 4002, but when a
clerk made an error in filling out a second form, a FILE OPENING
REQUEST - PEOPLE FILES form. Mr. Elcock called this a "clerical
error".
In his May 15, 1996 testimony, Mr. Archdeacon went even further when
he stated, "this TARC was sent down to the Management Information
Section in CSIS... The clerk down there thought that the only name
that he had, and you've got to have a name on a file, the only name he
could see was Preston Manning. So he didn't write #145;Unknown
Contributor', he wrote #145;Preston Manning'. That was an error. He
shouldn't have done that." Again these sound like plausible
explanations. Plausible that is until one examines the forms.
The Reform Party and the Sub- Committee were somewhat hampered because
of the censoring of the documents, which deleted the names of the CSIS
employees who filled out these forms. We were instead forced to
examine the handwritten dates on both the form 4002 and the FILE
OPENING REQUEST - PEOPLE FILES form. It is apparent that they were
written by the same person. The Forensic Consultant, an expert in the
examination of questioned documents confirmed the similarities.
While it may have been plausible that a clerk put in the wrong caption
on the second form, it is absolutely ludicrous to suggest that an
intelligence officer in CSIS HQ would fill out a form 4002 to
authorize an investigation in one name, and then on the very same day
he would fill out a second form to obtain a file number, and use a
different caption. As absurd as that sounds, that is what the Director
of CSIS wanted us to believe.
Witness the following exchange:
Ms. Meredith: "And that this unit head authorized a TARC Level
investigation on #145;Unknown Contributor to Preston Manning's
Electoral Campaign?' Is that right? That is in essence what this is
all about, right, is that they authorized a TARC one on an
#145;Unknown Contributor.'"
Mr. Elcock: "An Unknown Contributor to Preston Manning's Electoral
Campaign, yes."
Ms. Meredith: "And that the problem originated or the problem was
picked up when somebody filled out the FILE OPENING REQUEST - PEOPLE
FILES, and then wrote in #145;Preston Manning.'"
Mr. Elcock: "Yes." Ms. Meredith: "It wasn't a clerk who filled out
those forms, was it?"
Mr. Elcock: "No, Mr. Chairman. I'm not sure what the honourable
member's point is."
Ms. Meredith: "My point is that if you look at the date in the top
right- hand corner of the FILE OPENING REQUEST and you look at the
date under the authority section on the same form, the PEOPLE FILE,
FILE OPENING REQUEST - PEOPLE FILES, and then you look at the date
which is hand-written in at the top of the form 4002, I would suggest,
Sir, that it's the same person that wrote these two documents, that
worked with these two documents. How is it possible that the same
person on one file can put #145;Unknown Contributor to Preston
Manning's Electoral Campaign' and on the other file, the very same
day, put #145;Preston Manning.' And that his unit head, in reviewing
these on the same day, wouldn't pick up the mistake."
Mr. Elcock: "I'm not -- the honourable ...."
Ms. Meredith: "These are things that, I'm sorry, how is it possible
that a Counterintelligence officer can mistakenly, this is who filled
out this form, is an intelligence officer in Counterintelligence. How
could he look at a TARC form that he also filled in and filled it in
with #145;Unknown Contributor to Preston Manning' and on the very same
day on another form put Preston Manning's name down?"
Mr. Elcock: "These things happen. Names are sometimes left in
documents when they ought not to be." Ms. Meredith: "And his unit
chief who is authorizing and okaying these didn't notice that one of
the forms was under Preston Manning's name?" Mr. Elcock: "I'm sure as
the honourable member will know, these things happen from time to
time."
Summary - Mr. Elcock's defence, given this information is simply that
these things happen. That is even more frightening than a planned
investigation of Mr. Manning. The Director of CSIS stated that he
wanted to re-assure the Reform Party that nothing untoward happened
with this file. Yet, the only explanation Mr. Elcock offers for the
conduct of his department, is that the employees who were involved in
this investigation were grossly incompetent?
However, the Reform Party has more faith in the ability of working
level staff at CSIS than the Director does. However, the Director did
confirm that the FILE OPENING REQUEST - PEOPLE FILES form was never
filled out by a clerk in the Information Management Section of CSIS.
That begs the question: Why did the Executive Director of SIRC, Mr.
Archdeacon, make up his story to mislead the Sub-Committee? ;
CONCLUSIONS The Reform Party regrets having to present such a
painstakingly, detailed review of the Preston Manning investigation,
but it was necessary to demonstrate the extreme lengths that we have
had to go to in our attempts to find the truth in this matter.
The documents obtained by Mr. Manning through his Privacy Act request
afforded us the opportunity to challenge SIRC's version of events
directly. SIRC has demonstrated that their word cannot be accepted at
face value. But what does this all mean in the final analysis?
Two issues need to be resolved. The first is what initiated the
October 17, 1989 TARC Level 1 investigation. Since the South African
desk in CSIS HQ wrote off any investigation on January 10, 1989, what
suddenly spawned interest nine months later. One would think that it
would be logical for someone to have something in writing suggesting
that an investigation be opened. But that didn't happen.
The questions that remains unanswered, are:
Who ordered this matter re-opened, and why? The other issue that must
be answered is: Why are CSIS and SIRC going to such extreme lengths to
mislead the Sub-Committee, Parliament, and Canadians? If they had
maintained their original explanation that the file caption was
inappropriately opened in the name of #145;Preston Manning', and
subsequently changed, the Reform Party would have little to complain
about. But for CSIS and SIRC to retract all their previous admissions
without explanations, and to out-and-out lie to a Parliamentary
Sub-Committee, it is clear that there is something important they are
hiding.
The question is: What? Contrary to the assurances from SIRC and CSIS,
the Reform Party has learned that from October 17, 1989 to January 17,
1990, it was recorded in CSIS' main database, N.S.R., that there was a
TARC Level 1 on Preston Manning. There was no restricted security on
this file, so this information was available to any CSIS employee who
had access to N.S.R.
Any employee who came across this information would have believed that
there was a legal TARC Level on Manning, and could have legitimately
carried out a Level 1 investigation. If the government members of the
Sub-Committee weren't so intent on burying this report, the Sub-
Committee itself may have been able to produce some of its own
answers.
However, it became apparent, especially after the Liberals changed the
membership of the Sub-Committee, that government members are just as
interested in covering up the truth, as are CSIS and SIRC. This is
typified by the member from Windsor - St. Clair's vociferous objection
to the Bloc Quebecois attempting to give their time to question the
Director of CSIS to the Reform Party at the May 27, 1996 meeting. Why
else would they object to the Reform Party having a few extra minutes
to ask questions?
It is clear to the Reform Party that SIRC's Heritage Front Affair
report is a complete whitewash. SIRC was able to divert what should
have been a review of the activities of a CSIS Source into a review of
the Heritage Front itself. Both SIRC and CSIS champion this case as a
great success for the Service, but the mere fact that the Source's own
actions made this case public, should suggest it was a failure. But
what this case has done is to show that the review system established
by the CSIS Act does not work.
The government has joined with CSIS and SIRC in covering up the truth.
Why? What are they afraid of? This government has expressed no concern
that the leader of a legitimate political party had his name on a
document authorizing a CSIS investigation on him. They have expressed
no concern that all the original documents authorizing that
investigation were altered in one manner or another. They have shown
no concern that both CSIS and SIRC admitted that originally the TARC
level was on Preston Manning, then fifteen months later proceeded to
deny it, with absolutely no explanation.
It would appear that this government is not interested in holding the
bureaucracy accountable. How is it possible that the government is not
concerned that one of its agencies operates without accountability.
Was that not why a civilian intelligence agency was formed? Did not a
previous Liberal administration pass the CSIS Act, to make Canada's
intelligence community accountable to Parliament?
Those Canadians who care about the truth will have to wait until this
country has a government committed to Parliamentary accountability,
before the true version comes out. In the meantime, the Reform Party
hopes that those journalists, researchers or academics who are
interested in pursuing security issues continue their search for the
real story. The truth is out there!
RECOMMENDATIONS In light of the negligent performance of the Security
Intelligence Review Committee in reviewing this investigation, it is
clear that there is no place in the review process for a group of
patronage appointees who believe that they do not have to answer to
Parliament.
To find an alternative we need look no further than to our neighbours
to the south. The Americans utilize not only a House Select Committee
on Intelligence, but a Senate Committee as well. Given the immense
Intelligence network in the United States with the CIA, the NSA and
the Intelligence Division of the FBI, the Americans have demonstrated
that review by elected representatives is not only workable, but in
the Reform Party's opinion is preferable. ;
Reform Party Recommendation The Reform Party recommends that this
government introduce legislation in Parliament that would amend the
Canadian Security Intelligence Service Act, deleting all references to
the Security Intelligence Review Committee. All references to the
Security Intelligence Review Committee should be replaced by the
Standing Committee on National Security. ;

My question would obviously be:
Why did you and Ian Shardlow your new local top cop ignore me for
nearly a month?
Obviously I am the guy who answered Greg Kvisle's quandry about why
the RCMP ignored the Charter and felt free to invade his home three
time in order to find and take his old 303 and shotgun but he did not
believe me. I suspect you know as wel as I Correct?
As far as who I am scroll down this is lots of info that you had a
month to check out. If you don't believe it ask Ian Sharlow or his
bosses Dale McGowan and Bob Paulson or the lawyers Landslide Annie
McLellan or Alison Redford if I am a liar or not.

FYI I called Greg Kvisle after I saw him on Sun TV he said he didn't
need any help but he wanted to know who took his guns I told him I
knew but he didn't believe me. Clearly Ken Braat knows Greg Kvisle and
the cops very well. He should be able to tell Kvisle who took his
guns.
I bet Harper and the RCMP remembers what this Maritimer said about his
old 303s and shoguns when I ran for seat Parliament the first time
after the Maritimers Landslide Annie Mclellan Wayne Easter and a
boatload of corrupt cops pissed me off. If a don't feel free to scroll
down N'esy Pas?
I bet Danielle Smith, Bobby Baby Paulson remembers Robin Reid. Clearly
Insp Dougy Potts and Sgt Ian Shardlow pissed her and a bunch of
Indians off bigtime last year EH?
I write once again after the disappointing bullshit letter I received
from Inspector Potts, and then my discussion with Sgt. Shardlow
yesterday in Okotoks over assaults, false arrest, murder, all kinds of
nasty things you are responsible for setting people up using your "
interception of private communication ".
You people neglect doing your duty here and as I see what is coming
out in the media, makes one wonder just how much death you have
covered up over the years.
Afraid the truth is coming out is what it seems,hmmmm. And as far as
your arresting officer Degroot goes he seems to have a lot of contact
with Juiliann Barna Reid, as I
asked Shardlow - does this abusing woman work for you????????? Perhaps
you could look into this and get back to me.
Honestly for men you have no balls, just like Harper - has god got
your balls also??????? And then you have your women godly agents who I
am thinking took your balls cuz they are as cruel as you men. Now is
that not shameful.?????? Just as Alison Redford ignored me when she
was justice minister.
You people do not care about children, woman or men in your game of
human abuse for
profit. You always have the same excuse.
Now Mr. Paulson, since you are at the top, do you condone these lies
and abuse of children, woman and men ???????
I do have some other concerns from many years ago involving the
okotoks RCMP putting the blame on 1 officer, an Indian, are you racist
Mr. Paulson, do you condone white supremacy and genocide upon the
Indian people and then every other race by thair own ????? Just as the
security guard who assaulted me - thair excuse was he just got out of
security school.
Also Mr. Paulson do you carry the dead peasant insurance upon your
workers???????? how does one find out if this type of insurance is on
people and who has used it?????????
And let's not forget the abuse on human life by religion, sit's at the
top on the abuse game for profit, would you not say???????
Now Mr. Paulson, do you feel this is right what has been done, the
medical abuse, assaults, false arrests and so much more I would like
to discuss in person.????????????
REMEMBER IT'S ALL INDIAN LAND THAT YOU PERSONS UNDER THE SUPREMACY OF

- Sgt. Brian Topham -- reprimand and forfeiture of 10 days' pay.
Topham, who served at the Fox Creek detachment between 2002 and 2004,
made insensitive and degrading comments about women in the presence of
a female civilian employee.
On another occasion, Topham said "1974 was the worst year in the RCMP
because that is when the RCMP let women in the force."
The allegations also involved stereotypical comments about aboriginals
and people from Newfoundland made in the presence of officers who had
those backgrounds.

High River homeowner upset police entered his home three times after
flood hit and seized antique firearms
205
By Bill Kaufmann ,Calgary Sun
First posted: Friday, August 09, 2013 03:42 PM MDT | Updated: Friday,
August 09, 2013 04:59 PM MDT
The RCMP's post-flood seizure of two family heirloom firearms that
were hidden in his home is an outrageous trespass, says a High River
man.
The Mounties made three trips into the home of Greg Kvisle before
seizing the guns, a 1912 Winchester long-barreled shotgun and a
50-year-old .303 rifle in the days following June's deluge.
"My grandfather passed them down to my dad and when he passed away we
brought them here for safekeeping," said Kvisle, adding neither weapon
has been fired in decades.
"It's a sentimental thing for me."
He said both guns were stashed in a corner of his basement in a
storage area beneath boxes and far from any ammunition.
"They weren't visible and were secure as far as I saw it," said Kvisle.
His street wasn't impacted by the flooding and hadn't been evacuated,
but Kvisle said he was in Calgary when the water hit its height, and
was barred from returning home for nine days.
Once home, his suspicions that the two weapons might have been seized
were quickly confirmed.
About half of his neighbours had remained home, including those next
door who kept an eye on his property and helped Mounties enter his
home three times, said Kvisle.
"I just don't understand why they were searching for them," he said.
"They're supposed to be protecting our home, not looting it."
Kvisle said he had no trouble getting back his weapons from RCMP
officers, whom he called courteous and professional.
But the fact Mounties had taken hidden guns from his home on a
partly-populated street police were patrolling rankles him.
"What's next?" he said.
The Mounties said they seized firearms to prevent them from falling
into the hands of burglars in vacated, unsecured areas.
Kvisle's guns were situated in open view because it would have taken
very little to uncover them, said RCMP Sgt. Josee Valiquette.
"It could be in plain view under a bed, in a closet -- somewhere
somebody could hide," said Valiquette.
"If they happened to open a closet, it is in plain sight...these
firearms were inappropriately secured."
Kvisle said he's been told a civilian group that oversees the RCMP is
reviewing his case.
Raising a Little Hell- Lively Debate Provokes Crowd
By Erin Hatfield
"If you don't like what you got, why don't you change it? If your
world is all screwed up, rearrange it."
The 1979 Trooper song Raise a Little Hell blared on the speakers at
the 8th Hussars Sports Center Friday evening as people filed in to
watch the Fundy candidates debate the issues. It was an accurate, if
unofficial, theme song for the debate.
The crowd of over 200 spectators was dwarfed by the huge arena, but as
they chose their seats, it was clear the battle lines were drawn.
Supporters of Conservative candidate Rob Moore naturally took the blue
chairs on the right of the rink floor while John Herron's Liberalswent
left. There were splashes of orange, supporters of NDP Pat Hanratty,
mixed throughout. Perhaps the loudest applause came from a row towards
the back, where supporters of independent candidate David Amos sat.
The debate was moderated by Leo Melanson of CJCW Radio and was
organized by the Sussex Valley Jaycees. Candidates wereasked a barrage
of questions bypanelists Gisele McKnight of the Kings County Record
and Lisa Spencer of CJCW.
Staying true to party platforms for the most part, candidates
responded to questions about the gun registry, same sex marriage, the
exodus of young people from the Maritimes and regulated gas prices.
Herron and Moore were clear competitors,constantly challenging each
other on their answers and criticizing eachothers' party leaders.
Hanratty flew under the radar, giving short, concise responses to the
questions while Amos provided some food for thought and a bit of comic
relief with quirky answers. "I was raised with a gun," Amos said in
response to the question of thenational gun registry. "Nobody's
getting mine and I'm not paying 10 cents for it."
Herron, a Progressive Conservative MP turned Liberal, veered from his
party'splatform with regard to gun control. "It was ill advised but
well intentioned," Herron said. "No matter what side of the house I am
on, I'm voting against it." Pat Hanratty agreed there were better
places for the gun registry dollars to be spent.Recreational hunters
shouldn't have been penalized by this gun registry," he said.
The gun registry issues provoked the tempers of Herron and Moore. At
one point Herron got out of his seat and threw a piece of paper in
front of Moore. "Read that," Herron said to Moore, referring to the
voting record of Conservative Party leader Steven Harper. According to
Herron, Harper voted in favour of the registry on the first and second
readings of the bill in 1995. "He voted against it when it counted, at
final count," Moore said. "We needa government with courage to
register sex offenders rather than register the property of law
abiding citizens."
The crowd was vocal throughout the evening, with white haired men and
women heckling from the Conservative side. "Shut up John," one woman
yelled. "How can you talk about selling out?" a man yelled whenHerron
spoke about his fear that the Conservatives are selling farmers out.
Although the Liberal side was less vocal, Kings East MLA Leroy
Armstrong weighed in at one point. "You're out of touch," Armstrong
yelled to Moore from the crowd when the debate turned to the cost of
post-secondary education. Later in the evening Amos challenged
Armstrong to a public debate of their own. "Talk is cheap. Any time,
anyplace," Armstrong responded.
As the crowd made its way out of the building following the debate,
candidates worked the room. They shook hands with well-wishers and
fielded questions from spectators-all part of the decision-making
process for the June 28 vote.

The Unconventional Candidate
David Amos Isn't Campaigning For Your Vote, But....
By Gisele McKnight
FUNDY--He has a pack of cigarettes in his shirt pocket, a chain on his
wallet, a beard at least a foot long, 60 motorcycles and a cell phone
that rings to the tune of "Yankee Doodle."
Meet the latest addition to the Fundy ballot--David Amos.
The independent candidate lives in Milton, Massachusetts with his wife
and two children, but his place of residence does not stop him from
running for office in Canada.
One has only to be at least 18, a Canadian citizen and not be in jail
to meet Elections Canada requirements.
When it came time to launch his political crusade, Amos chose his
favourite place to do so--Fundy.
Amos, 52, is running for political office because of his
dissatisfaction with politicians.
"I've become aware of much corruption involving our two countries," he
said. "The only way to fix corruption is in the political forum."
The journey that eventually led Amos to politics began in Sussex in
1987. He woke up one morning disillusioned with life and decided he
needed to change his life.
"I lost my faith in mankind," he said. "People go through that
sometimes in midlife."
So Amos, who'd lived in Sussex since 1973, closed his Four Corners
motorcycle shop, paid his bills and hit the road with Annie, his 1952
Panhead motorcycle.
"Annie and I rode around for awhile (three years, to be exact)
experiencing the milk of human kindness," he said. "This is how you
renew your faith in mankind - you help anyone you can, you never ask
for anything, but you take what they offer."
For those three years, they offered food, a place to sleep, odd jobs
and conversation all over North America.
Since he and Annie stopped wandering, he has married, fathered a son
and a daughter and become a house-husband - Mr. Mom, as he calls
himself.
He also describes himself in far more colourful terms--a motorcyclist
rather than a biker, a "fun-loving, free-thinking, pig-headed
individual," a "pissed-off Maritimer" rather than an activist, a proud
Canadian and a "wild colonial boy."
Ironically, the man who is running for office has never voted in his life.
"But I have no right to criticize unless I offer my name," he said.
"It's alright to bitch in the kitchen, but can you walk the walk?"
Amos has no intention of actively campaigning.
"I didn't appreciate it when they (politicians) pounded on my door
interrupting my dinner," he said. "If people are interested, they can
call me. I'm not going to drive my opinions down their throats."
And he has no campaign budget, nor does he want one.
"I won't take any donations," he said. "Just try to give me some. It's
not about money. It goes against what I'm fighting about."
What he's fighting for is the discussion of issues - tainted blood,
the exploitation of the Maritimes' gas and oil reserves and NAFTA, to
name a few.
"The political issues in the Maritimes involve the three Fs - fishing,
farming and forestry, but they forget foreign issues," he said. "I'm
death on NAFTA, the back room deals and free trade. I say chuck it
(NAFTA) out the window.
NAFTA is the North American Free Trade Agreement which allows an
easier flow of goods between Canada, the United States and Mexico.
Amos disagrees with the idea that a vote for him is a wasted vote.
"There are no wasted votes," he said. "I want people like me,
especially young people, to pay attention and exercise their right.
Don't necessarily vote for me, but vote."
Although...if you're going to vote anyway, Amos would be happy to have
your X by his name.
"I want people to go into that voting booth, see my name, laugh and
say, 'what the hell.'"

I am not within your jurisdiction nor do I plan to come back until it is
time to argue mr harper and his cohorts in Federal Court however I may drag
some of you dudes or your lawyers back down to the USA with me to answer me
in the Second Circuit of the USA as to your involvement in the cover up of
many Yankee crimes.
I do not have to answer any questions put to me by Fat Fred Fity 's
Finest about whatever it is you may wish to know about my doings with the
RCMP but you corrupt city cops must certainly answer someday to your support
and cover up of my false imprisonment in the USA years ago.
Louie tell me honestly if you can find it in your soul to do so, why
did you laugh and make fun of my plight? I gave you a fair and square chance
to act ethically. i sent you a lot of material byway of this email address
and i sent it only to you just in case you would act ethically. Now I must
ask were you born an arsehole or did you work at it your whole life? What if
this shit had happened to you? What would you think of you if you were I?
Do you and Chucky Leblanc and the crook Alan MacFee have that sinking
feeling that you pissed off the wrong Maritimer yet or do you think i am the
ultimate loser? If i do lose bigtime I will you sleep at night knowing the
part you played in my demise? If a sudden fit of integrity overcomes you
say hey to your bosses Barry MacKnight, Insp Kelly and S/Sgt Copp for me
will ya and have them provide you with the file that the Police Commission
gave your god damned police force three years ago and start doing some
serious work for a change, will ya? Rest assured a lot has happened since.
The chickenshit S/Sgt Kathy Alchorn can say hey to the not so scary
spooks Norm Plourde and Kevin Jackson and Mikey Guitar and the Louie
Lefebvre character (his name sounds like yours Louie) for me as well. The
very shy S/Sgt. Kim Quartermain can tell the crook MacPhee that I will send
a buddy around to pick up my bike. I will look forward to meeting all you
bastards
in court someday but I must remain true to my word and sue Harper first.
Whereas Herménégilde Chiasson, Lieutenant Governor of New
Brunswick, just appointed Acting S/Sgt. Kim Quartermain, S/Sgt. Kathy
Alchorn, S\Sgt. Brian Ford and D/Chief Leanne Fitch of the Fredericton
Police
Force, as Honorary Aides-de-Camp to the Lieutenant Governor of New Brunswick
to guard him and the mean old Maison from the likes of me and Chucky
Leblanc,
they should have no trouble locating all the documents and CDs that I have
been
serving upon all the crooks in and around that house for years.
If you don't believe me just scroll down and find the words of
the former Governor General. While you are reading and listening to this
crap consider what "Al" may do next. As you listen again to the portion of
just one police surveilance tape know that I will him and a couple of his
friends a complete copy of 139 and a few more even if I am falsely
imprisoned again A buddy or two jusst has to drop my material into the mail.
Never forget the nutbag blogger Chucky Leblanc has a complete set of
documents and a CD from 2004 that he did not give to Brad Green as he
promised. Depupty Dog in one of his rants has already informed me that "Al"
is pissed off. It is likely just his usual bullshit but if it were true I
would say Good. Shame on you all and Cya'll in Court.

N.B. government to await federal probe into possible RCMP wrongdoing May 30,
2007 - 19:47
By: KEVIN BISSETT
FREDERICTON (CP) - New Brunswick Attorney General T.J. Burke declined
comment Wednesday on allegations of wrongdoing within the provincial RCMP.
At least two current and former Mounties in the province are among more than
a dozen officers across the country who have alleged wrongdoing within the
force, including abuse of power, harassment and the coverup of evidence.
One of the published allegations was made by Daniel Bernier, a former RCMP
corporal who lives near Fredericton. He claims he was removed from an
investigation in which he said he found evidence of the misuse of federal
funds by New Brunswick government officials in 1999.
He alleges grants were wrongly approved to farmers.
Once he was removed from the case, Bernier said an internal investigation by
the RCMP was called into his conduct.
"Our government doesn't respond to allegations," Burke said Wednesday when
asked by reporters about the claims published this week.
"We respond to factual information that is provided to us, information that
we need to investigate and look at."
William Gilmour, an Ontario lawyer representing some of the Mounties who
made the allegations, said the current and former members are anxious to
tell their stories, but there must be protection from reprisal.
"We're actively seeking the government to afford a venue in the nature of a
parliamentary committee, where there's some protection for these people,
where they have agreed to come forward and tell their stories," he said
Wednesday.
Gilmour, who is an ex-Mountie, said he has been trying to get the federal
government to call his clients before such a committee for a year, but so
far nothing has happened.
In the Commons on Wednesday, Public Safety Minister Stockwell Day was
accused by the opposition of ignoring the turmoil.
"The Conservative public safety minister's response is to shrug his
shoulders, plug his ears and see no evil, hear no evil," said Liberal Sue
Barnes.
"Is this wilful blindness or gross negligence? When it comes to protecting
the integrity of Canada's national police, why is the public safety minister
thwarting real action?"
Day responded by saying the government is "taking action to get to the
bottom of some of the concerns that have been raised."
Another New Brunswick Mountie, Staff Sgt. Ken Smith, is suing senior
officers at J Division in Fredericton for alleged harassment, but the New
Brunswick government has stepped in and stayed proceedings.
The province has asked the Fredericton police force to fully investigate the
Smith case, which includes allegations of unauthorized use of tracking
devices on his police vehicle.
"For the 30 years that I have had with the police force, my job has been to
go out and investigate crime," Smith said. "To find that we have just as
much crime happening within our organization, which is stopping us from
doing our job, is very troubling for me and for the individuals who have
come forward."
Bernier said he's not surprised to hear that as many as 30 current and
former Mounties would be willing to testify before a parliamentary
committee.
"The country of Canada is quite vast and the RCMP is all over the place, and
I'm sure I'm not the only one who has been treated like a piece of shit,"
Bernier said.
Gilmour said the appointment of a new RCMP commissioner with the mandate to
fix the problems in the force could prevent having to launch an inquiry or
royal commission.
In the meantime, he said, the reputation of the force is taking a beating.
"That's really quite unfair to the members on the street who are performing
such a valuable function and putting their lives at risk every day," said
Gilmour. "They don't deserve that and it needs to be dealt with far sooner
than later."
I must say your silence has been deafening for a lady acting as the
Commissioner for the Crown Corp commonly know as the RCMP. It has been six
months since you took over from the mean nasty old Zack and you are not one
bit more ethical. How else can you be so quiet particularly with all the
scandals breaking out daily about the RCMP?
I hear that the crook Rod Smith who was supposed to advise everyone
how to be ethical retired just in a nick of time after he and I had a little
pow wow on the phone. I was not surprised that you shitcanned Zack's old
assistant Mikey MacDonald in your office and that you replaced him with your
own nomind assistant Pierre Leduc. It was too funny that he has the same
last name as the nasty dude that finally answered me from the Commission of
Public Complaints Against the RCMP after five long years of pure hell for my
little Clan. Why don't one of you just tell the truth, the whole truth and
nothing but the truth just like you are supposed to do and let the political
cards fall where they may? Qiut the false allegation game will ya? It is
getting a little redundant, don't ya think?
I sure hope some cop blows the whistle bigtime real soon but I ain't
betting on it. However I will lays odds that the only ones to respond to
this email will be the nasty Yankee Depupty Dog and his little buddy Dirty
Dickie Dean with more of their Bullshit. That said I have no doubt you
crooks are just wondering who I send this email to next and when i will Blog
it. Right? (Its already done scroll down to the bottom do ya think the new
Accountability Commissioner will find it first?
Say hey to the crooked NSIS agents Norm Plourde, (AKA "Porcupine
Prique" ) and his pals, Cpl Jackson and Sean Lowe for me will ya Dirty
Dickie Dean?
On a number of occasions you have called or sent e-mails our office to raise
matters which are of pressing concern to you.
Each time we have tried to respond by explaining to you the relatively
narrow mandate of this Commission and the limits of our powers to deal with
the matters which are of concern to you. I must stress, once again, that
the purpose of this Commission is to provide the public with an opportunity
to make complaints concerning the conduct of members of the RCMP in the
performance of their duties. We have neither the expertise nor the legal
authority to permit us to become involved in issues beyond the scope of this
mandate.
While it is clearly not the intention of the Commission to prevent you from
making complaints against members of the RCMP, an analysis of your numerous
contacts with the Commission indicates that your concerns fall well outside
the confines of our mandate. Further, your frequent e-mails have been
disruptive and unproductive for both you and for the staff of this office.
Should you determine that some point in the future you have a complaint
concerning the conduct of a member of the RCMP in the performance of his or
her duties, please submit it to the Commission *by Canada Post only*. As of
now, your e-mails will be deleted unread.
Yours truly,
Andrée Leduc

Hey
The sneaky ex CSIS dude Michelle Juneau-Katsuya was not wise to call
the President of Brazil a Prima Donna but what he said is true about
her merely playing politcs Everybody who wants to know can know what
happened between Brazil and I since early 2005. All they have to do is
ask me. If they don't believe me they can call the Boys from Brazil
and ask them if what I said in the video hereto attached or the
documents I to them and many other UN dudes long ago is true or false.
Trust that Stevey Harper, Franky McKenna and the rest of the
IMF/Bilderberger crowd ain't gonna tell anyone anything. EH Bobby
Bauer and Stevey Cutler?
The video is just a clip from a longer conversation with a good friend
weeks ago. Perhaps your snoopy minions in the RCMP/DND should be wise
to listen to it all if they haven't already EH?
BTW Perhaps the times are a changing now that the stock market is
falling bigtime once again. Believe or not I am kinda sorta impressed
by the words of the latest Pope. I can'tbelieve a Jesuit would say
such things. Amazing things never cease.
The Dec 12th,2002 date stamp on about page 134 of this old file of
mine and the name of Cardinal Bernard Francis Law should mean a lot to
him if he truly has an ethical soul and is wise enough to ignore his
many lawyers.
Law resigned as Archbishop of Boston on December 13, 2002, in response
to the Roman Catholic Church sex abuse scandal after church documents
were revealed which suggested he had covered up sexual abuse committed
by priests in his archdiocese.

Yours truly,
Paul W. Huyer

Mr Bush thanked the Netherlands for its cooperation during his time in
office and particularly praised the Dutch presence in Afghanistan.
After the meeting, Mr Balkenende said he had spoken freely about
matters on which the two countries disagree, including climate policy
and the US detention facility for terrorist suspects at Guantánamo
Bay.
Mr Verhagen will also hold meetings with US Secretary of State
Condoleezza Rice and close aides of presidential candidates John
McCain and Barack Obama. Mr Balkenende is attending the Bilderberg
Conference, the highly secretive annual meeting of the world's most
influential people, which is this year being held in Chantilly outside
Washington DC.

The committee continued its study of political and economic
developments in Brazil and the implications for Canada.
Robert Wood, senior editor and economist of the Economist Intelligence
Unit, and Douglas Bland, former chair of Defence Management Studies at
Queen's University, testified.
"The EFSF doesn't solve problems, it only takes money," lawyer and
member of parliament Legal Affairs Committee Igor Grazin from the
ruling Reform Party told parliament.
Mailis Reps, of the left-leaning opposition Centre Party, said it was
unfair for Estonia to have to dip into its coffers.
"When we look at the salaries of teachers, the state support for
children and so on, it's all many times smaller here than in the
countries Estonia is now going to support financially," she said.
In answer to your question you will find the following words within
the email you responded to. For the benetit of the taxpayers in
Estonia your government and I should discuss them ASAP.
I tried hrd to explain my concerns on the phone to you but you wanted
me to prove that my IP connection was ok for some reason. FYI I
already knew that it was because I was calling you through the Inernet
Please read and click on the links
I am the unamed Whistleblower that Mr Nester of the SEC mentioned
in 2009 who is the link from Putnam investments and Madoff matter
To support , my allegations first and foremost Eric Schneiderman
should see that Eliot Spitzer testified on the very day he thanked me
for the info in November of 2003.
Please notice the transcripts and webcasts went of th Senate hearings
"poof' not long after I made the congressman Ron Paul and legions of
others well aware of their existence as he bitched about such things
whilst running for the GOP endorsement to run for president in 2007.
The records of the hearings were deleted in late fall 2007 just as all
the subprime mortgages began to smell bad.

Check your own history. I did succeed in the american courts against
such opponents as Cardinal Bernard Francis Law before crazy Yankees
tried to take me to Cuba in 2003 just before your second religious war
in this century started. Now I will take on the Protector of the Faith
of the Church of England in her court in my nativeland while running
for public office for the fifth time

>> Dear Mr. Amos:
>>
>> On a number of occasions you have called or sent e-mails our office to
>> raise matters which are of pressing concern to you.
>>
>> Each time we have tried to respond by explaining to you the relatively
>> narrow mandate of this Commission and the limits of our powers to deal
>> with the matters which are of concern to you. I must stress, once
>> again, that the purpose of this Commission is to provide the public
>> with an opportunity to make complaints concerning the conduct of
>> members of the RCMP in the performance of their duties. We have
>> neither the expertise nor the legal authority to permit us to become
>> involved in issues beyond the scope of this mandate.
>>
>> While it is clearly not the intention of the Commission to prevent you
>> from making complaints against members of the RCMP, an analysis of
>> your numerous contacts with the Commission indicates that your
>> concerns fall well outside the confines of our mandate. Further, your
>> frequent e-mails have been disruptive and unproductive for both you
>> and for the staff of this office.
>>
>> Should you determine that some point in the future you have a
>> complaint concerning the conduct of a member of the RCMP in the
>> performance of his or her duties, please submit it to the Commission
>> by Canada Post only. As of now, your e-mails will be deleted unread.
