Yo Mr Prime Minister Trudeau
"The Younger" Just how dumb is your lawyer friend Mr Mulcair? I believe
he is still a member of the Very Secretive Privy Council N'esy Pas?
Bob Lashram
Mulcair has fair point...time
for Trudeau to provide the truth...as well, this article about the
sniper record has just put a target on the back of all Canadian
troops...
David Raymond Amos
@Bob Lashram The truth is Canada has been at war since 2001

@Bob Lashram If Mulcair or
Trudeau were truly ethical they would have asked me about paragraph 83
of my lawsuit a very long time ago.

@richard bishop If you
clicked on the link I offered above and read paragraph 83 you would come
to some understanding of the madness of it all.
Obviously Mr Mulcair as a member of the Privy Council since 2012 knew all about that stuff years before I sued the Crown in 2015

Tom Mulcair raises red flags after Canadian sniper breaks record in Iraq
NDP leader says MPs should hold a debate if Canadian troops are to be involved in combat role in Iraq
By Lee Berthiaume, The Canadian Press Posted: Jun 23, 2017 4:06 PM ET
NDP Leader Tom Mulcair says news of a record "kill shot"
by a Canadian sniper in Iraq raises questions about the nature of the
Canadian mission in Iraq. (Adrian Wyld/Canadian Press)
In a letter Friday to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Mulcair said the incident "seriously calls into question your government's claim that Canadian forces are not involved in direct combat in Iraq."
National Defence says the sniper is part of the Joint Task Force 2 special forces unit and was supporting Iraqi forces in their fight against the ISIS when he shot an enemy fighter from 3,540 metres away.
That is more than a kilometre farther than the previous record, held by a British sniper who shot a Taliban fighter in Afghanistan in 2009.
Officials have refused to provide any other details about the incident, including where and when it occurred, citing operational security. But they maintain that the soldier was operating within the established limits of Canada's so-called "advise and assist" mission in Iraq.
Questions over role
While news of the shot has spread like wildfire, prompting accolades and even disbelief from current and former military personnel around the world, Mulcair demanded Trudeau provide answers about the mission in Iraq.
"Will you now confirm that Canadian troops have engaged in ground combat since your government took office?" he wrote.
"Why have you not declared that the current military operation is now a combat mission? Why has there been no debate in the House of Commons regarding this change of mission?"
Opposition parties have repeatedly accused the Liberals of misleading the public about the nature of Canada's mission in Iraq by claiming that Canadian troops are not in combat.
That includes revelations three years ago that Canadian troops were calling in airstrikes on ISIS targets, and last November when it was revealed they could shoot in situations other than self-defence.
But National Defence spokesman Daniel Le Bouthillier stood by past assertions Friday that Canadian soldiers are not engaged in combat in Iraq, despite the record-breaking shot.
"Members of the Canadian Special Operations Task Force do not accompany leading combat elements, but enable the Iraqi security forces who are in a tough combat mission," he said.
"This takes the form of advice in planning for their operations and assistance to defeat (ISIS) through the use of coalition resources."
The latest controversy comes as the clock ticks down on the current mission in Iraq, whose mandate is set to expire next week.
The Liberals have said Canada will maintain a presence in Iraq and the fight against ISIS, though officials say no decision has been made on whether to extend the current mission or change it.
Canada has about 200 special forces operating in northern Iraq, including inside Mosul, supported by a combat hospital, a helicopter detachment, a military surveillance plane and an air-to-air refuelling aircraft.

Tom Mulcair sworn to the Privy Council
Tom Mulcair, Leader of the Official Opposition and the New Democratic Party of Canada, was sworn in as a member of the Privy Council of Canada at an event at Rideau Hall today.Mr. Mulcair took the oath before the Governor General of Canada, David Johnston, the Clerk of the Privy Council, Wayne Wouters, and members of his family.
The Privy Council, established in the Constitution Act of 1867, is comprised of former and current cabinet ministers as well as a number of distinguished individuals. Members are appointed by the Governor General on the recommendation of the prime minister.
“It is an honour and a privilege for me to become a member of the Privy Council, which gathers together remarkable women and men,” said Mulcair. “As a Privy Councillor, I will continue to pursue my main objective of serving the interests of Canadians.”
September 11th, 2004
Dear Mr. Amos,
On behalf of Her Excellency the
Right Honourable Adrienne Clarkson,
I acknowledge receipt of two sets of
documents and CD regarding corruption,
one
received from you directly, and the other forwarded to us by the Office of
the
Lieutenant Governor of New Brunswick.
I regret to inform you that the Governor
General cannot intervene in
matters that are the responsibility of
elected officials and courts of Justice of
Canada. You already contacted the various
provincial authorities regarding
your concerns, and these were the appropriate
steps to take.
Yours sincerely.

Office of the Secretary
to the Governor General

The privilege of sworn secrecy: Mulcair joins Privy Council, making him the newest advisor to the Queen
NDP leader Thomas Mulcair is now the Honourable Thomas Mulcair, PC following his appointment to the Queen’s Privy Council
NDP leader Thomas Mulcair is now the Honourable Thomas Mulcair, PC following his appointment to the Queen’s Privy Council. Technically speaking, the position makes Mr. Mulcair a personal advisor to Queen Elizabeth II. More importantly, he has just been inducted into one of Canada’s most exclusive clubs. The Post’s Tristin Hopper sifts through the details of one of the federal government’s more medieval institutions.
What are the perks of Privy Council membership?
“The [Parliament Hill] flag flies at half-mast when you die – I’m looking forward to that,” said former Yukon MP Larry Bagnell, who was appointed in 2003. Members are also allowed to tack “Honourable” onto the front of their name and “PC” onto the end, but the main perk — and the reason most members are appointed — is as a kind of security clearance. Privy means “private,” after all, and politicians are not allowed into cabinet meetings if they have not sworn the Privy Council oath to “keep secret all matters committed and revealed to me.”
Who calls the shots on Privy Council appointments?
As with the Senate, Privy Council members are technically appointed by the Governor-General – but they are actually appointed by the Prime Minister. Prime Minister Paul Martin was one of the most prolific appointees due to his policy of appointing parliamentary secretaries – a practice that has not been followed since.
What does the Council do?
According to the odd conspiracy theory, the Queen’s Privy Council is a shadowy
illuminati
secretly pulling the strings in Ottawa. In reality, it is largely a ceremonial body. “There are no specific duties performed by all Privy Councillors,” wrote Privy Council spokesman Raymond Rivet in an email to the Post
. The body meets “almost never,” according to the Council’s own website, and its last gathering was in 1981 to consent to the marriage of Prince Charles and Lady Diana. “There’s a swearing in, you get a plaque – and that’s the last I heard of it,” said Mr. Bagnell.
Why does Canada have a Privy Council?
The Privy Council has been built into the federal government since Confederation, and is the ancestor of elite councils that were tasked with advising the British Sovereign. In modern times, while the Privy Council members themselves may not do much, the office itself is the command centre for the civil service. Privy Council clerk Wayne Wouters is Canada’s top civil servant – and the Prime Minister’s own Deputy Minister.
Who gets in?
Cabinet ministers, chief justices, parliamentary speakers and Governors-General are all given an automatic pass into the Council, but the Prime Minister is also allowed to let in “distinguished individuals.”
On April 17, 1982, prime minister Pierre Trudeau marked the signing of the Constitution by appointing NDP leader Ed Broadbent and the provincial premiers. Ten years later, to commemorate Canada’s 125th anniversary, prime minister Brian Mulroney let in a who’s who of noted Canadians including painter Alex Coville and writer W.O. Mitchell.
Who else is a member?
There are roughly 400 current members in the Privy Council — the longest serving of which is former defense minister Paul Hellyer, summoned by prime minister Louis St. Laurent in 1957. The historical roster includes all former prime pinisters, Prince Philip, Winston Churchill and — like any ceremonial body in Canada — a smattering of hockey players. Maurice “Rocket” Richard was appointed in 1992 and Montreal Canadiens goalie Ken Dryden was appointed in 2004, soon after his election as MP.
Why did Prime Minister Stephen Harper appoint Mr. Mulcair, an opposition leader?
Particularly when it comes to issues of national security, “there are times when the Prime Minister wishes to have the opposition leadership into his confidence,” said Liberal MP John McKay, summoned in 2003.
Although the practice was once rare, opposition leaders are now routinely summoned to the council. Liberal leader Michael Ignatieff was called up in 2010, NDP leader Jack Layton in 2005 and Mr. Harper himself joined the council in 2004 on the invitation of prime minister Paul Martin.
Can you get kicked out?
Arthur Porter remains a member, even after he resigned as chairman of Canada’s spy review board after a National Post investigation revealed he had suspicious dealings with a foreign lobbyist.
Media mogul Conrad Black renounced his Canadian citizenship in 2001 and was sent to a foreign jail six years later. As a result, the Governor-General has looked to remove Mr. Black’s Order of Canada — but his Privy Council membership remains unaffected.
Bloc Québecois leader Lucien Bouchard also remains a Privy Councillor, despite his concerted efforts to break up the country in 1995.

David Raymond Amos Versus The Crown T-1557-15
Court File No. T-1557-15
FEDERAL
COURT
BETWEEN:
DAVID RAYMOND AMOS
Plaintiff
and
HER
MAJESTY THE QUEEN
Defendant
STATEMENT OF CLAIM
The Parties
1. HER
MAJESTY THE QUEEN (Crown)
is Elizabeth II, the Queen of England, the Protector of the Faith of the Church
of England, the longest reigning monarch of the United Kingdom and one of the
wealthiest persons in the world. Canada pays homage to the Queen because she
remained the Head of State and the Chief Executive Officer of Canada after the Canada
Act 1982 (U.K.) 1982, c. 11 came
into force on April 17, 1982. The standing of the Queen in Canada was explained
within the 2002 Annual Report FORM 18-K filed by Canada with the United States
Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). It states as follows:
“The
executive power of the federal Government is vested in the Queen, represented
by the Governor General, whose powers are exercised on the advice of the
federal Cabinet, which is responsible to the House of Commons. The legislative
branch at the federal level, Parliament, consists of the Crown, the Senate and
the House of Commons.”
“The
executive power in each province is vested in the Lieutenant Governor,
appointed by the Governor General on the advice of the federal Cabinet.
The Lieutenant Governor’s powers are exercised on the advice of the
provincial cabinet, which is responsible to the legislative assembly. Each
provincial legislature is composed of a Lieutenant Governor and a legislative assembly
made up of members elected for a period of five years.”
2. Her
Majesty the Queen is the named defendant pursuant to sections 23(1) and 36 of the
Crown Liability and Proceedings Act. Some of the state actors whose duties and actions are at issue in this
action are the Prime Minister, Premiers, Governor General, Lieutenant
Governors, members of the Canadian Forces (CF), and Royal Canadian Mounted
Police (RCMP), federal and provincial Ministers of Public Safety, Ministers of
Justice, Ministers of Finance, Speakers, Clerks, Sergeants-at-Arms and any
other person acting as Aide-de-Camp providing security within and around the
House of Commons, the legislative assemblies or acting as security for other federal,
provincial and municipal properties.
3. Her
Majesty the Queen’s servants the RCMP
whose mandate is to serve and protect Canadian citizens and assist in the
security of parliamentary properties and the protection of public officials
should not deny a correspondence from a former Deputy Prime Minister who was
appointed to be Canada’s first Minister of Public Safety in order to oversee
the RCMP and their cohorts. The letter that
helped to raise the ire of a fellow Canadian citizen who had never voted in his
life to run for public office four times thus far is quoted as follows:
“Mr. David R. Amos Jan 3rd, 2004
153Alvin Avenue
Milton, MA U.S.A. 02186
Dear Mr. Amos
Thank you for your letter of November 19th,
2003, addressed to
my predecessor, the Honourble
Wayne Easter, regarding your safety.
I apologize for the delay in
responding.
If you have any concerns about your
personal safety, I can only
suggest that you contact the
police of local jurisdiction. In addition, any
evidence of criminal activity
should be brought to their attention since the
police are in the best position
to evaluate the information and take action
as deemed appropriate.
I trust that this information is
satisfactory.
Yours sincerely
A. Anne McLellan”
4. DAVID RAYMOND AMOS (Plaintiff),
a Canadian Citizen and the first Chief of the Amos Clan, was born in Sackville, New
Brunswick (NB) on July 17th, 1952.
5. The Plaintiff claims
standing in this action as a citizen whose human rights and democratic
interests are to be protected by due performance of the obligations of Canada’s
public officials who are either elected or appointed and all servants of the
Crown whose mandate is to secure the public safety, protect public interests
and to uphold and enforce the rule of law. The Crown affirms his right to seek
relief for offences to his rights under section 24(1) of the Canadian
Charter of Rights and Freedoms (Charter).
Paragraphs 6 to
13 explain the delay in bringing this action before Federal Court and
paragraphs 25 to 88 explain this matter.
6. The Plaintiff states that
pursuant to the democratic rights found in Section 3 of the Charter he was a
candidate in the elections of the membership of the 38th and 39th
Parliaments in the House of Commons and a candidate in the elections of the
memberships of the legislative assemblies in Nova Scotia (NS) and NB in 2006.
7. The Plaintiff states that if
he is successful in finding a Chartered Accountant to audit his records as per
the rules of Elections Canada, he will attempt to become a candidate in the
election of the membership of the 42nd Parliament.
8. The Plaintiff states that beginning
in January of 2002, he made many members of the RCMP and many members of the
corporate media including employees of a Crown Corporation, the Canadian Broadcasting
Corporation (CBC) well aware of the reason why he planned to return to Canada
and become a candidate in the next federal election. In May of 2004, all
members seated in the 37th Parliament before the writ was dropped
for the election of the 38th Parliament and several members of the
legislative assemblies of NB and Newfoundland and Labrador (NL) knew the reason
is the ongoing rampant public corruption. Evidence of the Plaintiff’s concerns
can be found within his documents that the Office of the Governor General acknowledged were in
its possession ten years ago before the Speech from the Throne in 2004. The
Governor General’s letter is as follows:
“September 11th,
2004
Dear Mr. Amos,
On behalf of Her Excellency the
Right Honourable Adrienne Clarkson,
I acknowledge receipt of two sets of
documents and CD regarding corruption,
one
received from you directly, and the other forwarded to us by the Office of
the
Lieutenant Governor of New Brunswick.
I regret to inform you that the Governor
General cannot intervene in
matters that are the responsibility of
elected officials and courts of Justice of
Canada. You already contacted the various
provincial authorities regarding
your concerns, and these were the appropriate
steps to take.
Yours sincerely.
Renee Blanchet
Office of the Secretary
to the Governor General”
9. The
Plaintiff states that the documents contain proof that the Crown by way of the
RCMP and the Minister of Public Safety/Deputy Prime Minister knew that he was
the whistleblower offering his assistance to Maher Arar and his lawyers in the
USA. The Governor General acknowledged his concerns about the subject of this
complaint and affirmed that the proper provincial authorities were contacted
but ignored the Plaintiff’s faxes and email to the RCMP and the Solicitor
General in November of 2003 and his tracked US Mail to the Solicitor General
and the Commissioner of the RCMP by way of the Department of Foreign Affairs
and International Trade (DFAIT) in December of 2003 and the response he
received from the Minister of Public Safety/Deputy Prime Minister in early
2004. One document was irrefutable proof that there was no need whatsoever to
create a Commission of Inquiry into Maher Arar concerns at about the same point
in time. That document is a letter from the US Department of Homeland Security
(DHS) Office Inspector General (OIG complaint no. C04-01448) admitting contact
with his office on November 21, 2003 within days of the Plaintiff talking to
the office of Canada’s Solicitor General while he met with the US Attorney
General and one day after the former Attorney General of New York (NY) and the
former General Counsel of the SEC testified at a public hearing before the US
Senate Banking Committee about investigations of the mutual fund industry.
82. The Plaintiff states that any politician or police officer should have seen enough of Barry Winter’s WordPress blog by June 22, 2015 particularly after the very unnecessary demise of two men in Alberta because of the incompetence of the EPS. Barry Winters was blogging about the EPS using battering ram in order to execute a warrant for a 250 dollar bylaw offence at the same time Professor Kris Wells revealed in a televised interview that the EPS member who was killed was the one investigating the cyber harassment of him. It was obvious why the police and politicians ignored all the death threats, sexual harassment, cyberbullying and hate speech of a proud Zionist who claimed to be a former CF officer who now working for the Department of National Defence (DND). It is well known that no politician in Canada is allowed to sit in Parliament as a member of the major parties unless they support Israel. Since 2002 the Plaintiff made it well known that he does not support Israeli actions and was against the American plan to make war on Iraq. On Aril 1, 2003 within two weeks of the beginning of the War on Iraq, the US Secret Service threatened to practice extraordinary rendition because false allegations of a Presidential threat were made against him by an American court. However, the Americans and the Crown cannot deny that what he said in two courts on April 1, 2003 because he published the recordings of what was truly said as soon as he got the court tapes. The RCMP knows those words can still be heard on the Internet today. In 2009, the Plaintiff began to complain of Barry Winters about something far more important to Canada as nation because of Winters’ bragging of being one of 24 CF officers who assisted the Americans in the planning the War on Iraq in 2002. In the Plaintiff’s humble opinion the mandate of the DND is Defence not Attack. He is not so naive to think that such plans of war do not occur but if Barry Winters was in fact one of the CF officers who did so then he broke his oath to the Crown the instant he bragged of it in his blog. If Winters was never an officer in the CF then he broke the law by impersonating an officer. The Plaintiff downloaded the emails of the Privy Council about Wikileaks. The bragging of Barry Winters should have been investigated in 2009 before CBC reported that documents released by WikiLeaks supported his information about Canadian involvement in the War on Iraq.
83. The Plaintiff states that
now that Canada is involved in more war in Iraq again it did not serve
Canadian interests and reputation to allow Barry Winters to publish the
following words three times over five years after he began his bragging:

Little David Amos’ “True History Of War” Canadian Airstrikes And
Stupid Justin Trudeau
Little David Amos’ “True History Of War” Canadian Airstrikes And
Stupid Justin Trudeau
Canada’s and Canadians free ride is over. Canada can no longer hide
behind Amerka’s and NATO’s skirts.
When I was still
in Canadian Forces then Prime Minister Jean Chretien actually committed
the Canadian Army to deploy in the second campaign in Iraq, the
Coalition of the Willing. This was against or contrary to the
wisdom or advice of those of us Canadian officers that were involved in
the
initial planning phases of that operation. There were significant
concern in
our planning cell, and NDHQ about of the dearth of concern for
operational guidance,
direction, and forces for operations after the initial occupation of
Iraq. At
the “last minute” Prime Minister Chretien and the Liberal government
changed
its mind. The Canadian government told our amerkan cousins that we would
not
deploy combat troops for the Iraq campaign, but would deploy a Canadian
Battle
Group to Afghanistan, enabling our amerkan cousins to redeploy troops
from
there to Iraq. The PMO’s thinking that it was less costly to deploy
Canadian
Forces to Afghanistan than Iraq. But alas no one seems to remind the
Liberals
of Prime Minister Chretien’s then grossly incorrect assumption.
Notwithstanding Jean Chretien’s incompetence
and stupidity, the Canadian Army was heroic, professional, punched well
above
it’s weight, and the PPCLI Battle Group, is credited with “saving
Afghanistan”
during the Panjway campaign of 2006.
What Justin
Trudeau and the Liberals don’t tell you now, is that then Liberal Prime
Minister Jean Chretien committed, and deployed the Canadian army to Canada’s
longest “war” without the advice, consent, support, or vote of the Canadian
Parliament.
What David Amos
and the rest of the ignorant, uneducated, and babbling chattering classes are
too addled to understand is the deployment of less than 75 special operations
troops, and what is known by planners as a “six pac cell” of fighter aircraft
is NOT the same as a deployment of a Battle Group, nor a “war” make.
The Canadian Government
or The Crown unlike our amerkan cousins have the “constitutional authority” to
commit the Canadian nation to war. That has been recently clearly articulated
to the Canadian public by constitutional scholar Phillippe Legasse. What
Parliament can do is remove “confidence” in The Crown’s Government in a “vote
of non-confidence.” That could not happen to the Chretien Government regarding
deployment to Afghanistan, and it won’t happen in this instance with the
conservative majority in The Commons regarding a limited Canadian deployment to
the Middle East.
President George
Bush was quite correct after 911 and the terror attacks in New York; that the
Taliban “occupied” and “failed state” Afghanistan was the source of logistical
support, command and control, and training for the Al Quaeda war of terror against
the world. The initial defeat, and removal from control of Afghanistan was
vital and essential for the security and tranquility of the developed world. An
ISIS “caliphate,” in the Middle East, no matter how small, is a clear and
present danger to the entire world. This “occupied state,” or“failed state”
will prosecute an unending Islamic inspired war of terror against not only the
“western world,” but Arab states “moderate” or not, as well. The security,
safety, and tranquility of Canada and Canadians are just at risk now with the
emergence of an ISIS“caliphate” no matter how large or small, as it was with
the Taliban and Al Quaeda “marriage” in Afghanistan.
One of the
everlasting “legacies” of the “Trudeau the Elder’s dynasty was Canada and
successive Liberal governments cowering behind the amerkan’s nuclear and conventional
military shield, at the same time denigrating, insulting them, opposing them,
and at the same time self-aggrandizing ourselves as “peace keepers,” and
progenitors of “world peace.” Canada failed. The United States of Amerka, NATO,
the G7 and or G20 will no longer permit that sort of sanctimonious behavior
from Canada or its government any longer. And Prime Minister Stephen Harper,
Foreign Minister John Baird , and Cabinet are fully cognizant of that reality.
Even if some editorial boards, and pundits are not.
Justin, Trudeau
“the younger” is reprising the time “honoured” liberal mantra, and tradition of
expecting the amerkans or the rest of the world to do “the heavy lifting.”
Justin Trudeau and his “butt buddy” David Amos are telling Canadians that we
can guarantee our security and safety by expecting other nations to fight for
us. That Canada can and should attempt to guarantee Canadians safety by
providing “humanitarian aid” somewhere, and call a sitting US president a “war criminal.”
This morning Australia announced they too, were sending tactical aircraft to
eliminate the menace of an ISIS “caliphate.”
In one sense Prime
Minister Harper is every bit the scoundrel Trudeau “the elder” and Jean ‘the
crook” Chretien was. Just As Trudeau, and successive Liberal governments
delighted in diminishing, marginalizing, under funding Canadian Forces, and
sending Canadian military men and women to die with inadequate kit and modern equipment;
so too is Prime Minister Stephen Harper. Canada’s F-18s are antiquated, poorly
equipped, and ought to have been replaced five years ago. But alas, there won’t
be single RCAF fighter jock that won’t go, or won’t want to go, to make Canada
safe or safer.
My Grandfather
served this country. My father served this country. My Uncle served this
country. And I have served this country. Justin Trudeau has not served Canada
in any way. Thomas Mulcair has not served this country in any way. Liberals and
so called social democrats haven’t served this country in any way. David Amos,
and other drooling fools have not served this great nation in any way. Yet these
fools are more than prepared to ensure their, our safety to other nations, and
then criticize them for doing so.
Canada must again,
now, “do our bit” to guarantee our own security, and tranquility, but also that
of the world. Canada has never before shirked its responsibility to its citizens
and that of the world.
Prime Minister Harper will not permit this country to do so now

I talked to Don Newman earlier this week before the beancounters
David Dodge and Don Drummond now of Queen's gave their spin about Canada's
Health Care system yesterday and Sheila Fraser yapped on and on on CAPAC during her last days in office as if
she were oh so ethical.. To be fair to him I just called Greg Weston
(613-288-6938) I suggested that he should at least Google SOUCOM and David Amos
It would be wise if he check ALL of CBC's sources before he publishes something
else about the DND EH Don Newman? Lets just say that the fact that
your old CBC buddy, Tony Burman is now in charge of Al Jazeera English
never impressed me. The fact that he set up a Canadian office is interesting

"But Lang, defence minister McCallum's chief of staff, says military
brass were not entirely forthcoming on the issue. For instance, he
says, even McCallum initially didn't know those soldiers were helping
to plan the invasion of Iraq up to the highest levels of command,
including a Canadian general.
That general is Walt Natynczyk, now Canada's chief of defence staff,
who eight months after the invasion became deputy commander of 35,000 U.S. soldiers and other allied forces in Iraq. Lang says Natynczyk was also part of the team of mainly senior U.S. military brass that helped prepare for the invasion from a mobile command in Kuwait."

"I remember years ago when the debate was on in Canada, about there being weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. Our American 'friends" demanded that Canada join into "the Coalition of the Willing. American "veterans" and sportscasters loudly denounced Canada for NOT buying into the US policy.
At the time I was serving as a planner at NDHQ and with 24 other of my colleagues we went to Tampa SOUCOM HQ to be involved in the planning in the planning stages of the op....and to report to NDHQ, that would report to the PMO upon the merits of the proposed operation. There was never at anytime an existing target list of verified sites where there were deployed WMD.
Coalition assets were more than sufficient for the initial strike and invasion phase but even at that point in the planning, we were concerned about the number of "boots on the ground" for the occupation (and end game) stage of an operation in Iraq. We were also concerned about the American plans for occupation plans of Iraq because they at that stage included no contingency for a handing over of civil authority to a vetted Iraqi government and bureaucracy.
There was no detailed plan for Iraq being "liberated" and returned to its people...nor a thought to an eventual exit plan. This was contrary to the lessons of Vietnam but also to current military thought, that folks like Colin Powell and "Stuffy" Leighton and others elucidated upon. "What's the mission" how long is the mission, what conditions are to met before US troop can redeploy? Prime Minister Jean Chretien and the PMO were even at the very preliminary planning stages wary of Canadian involvement in an Iraq operation....History would prove them correct. The political pressure being applied on the PMO from the George W Bush administration was onerous
American military assets were extremely overstretched, and Canadian military assets even more so It was proposed by the PMO that Canadian naval platforms would deploy to assist in naval quarantine operations in the Gulf and that Canadian army assets would deploy in Afghanistan thus permitting US army assets to redeploy for an Iraqi operation....The PMO thought that "compromise would save Canadian lives and liberal political capital.. and the priority of which ....not necessarily in that order. "
You can bet that I called these sneaky Yankees again today EH John
Adams? of the CSE within the DND?

84. The Plaintiff states that
the RCMP is well aware that he went to western Canada in 2104 at the invitation
of a fellow Maritimer in order to assist in his attempt to investigate the murders
of many people in Northern BC. The Plaintiff has good reasons to doubt his
fellow Maritimer’s motives. The fact that he did not tell the Plaintiff until
he had arrived in BC that he had invited a Neo Nazi he knew the Plaintiff
strongly disliked to the same protest that he was staging in front of the court
house in Prince George on August 21, 2014. The Plaintiff was looking forward to
meeting Lonnie Landrud so he ignored the Neo Nazi. Several months after their
one and only meeting, Lonnie Landrud contacted the Plaintiff and asked him to
publish a statement of his on the Internet and to forward it to anyone he
wished. The Plaintiff obliged Landrud and did an investigation of his own as
well. He has informed the RCMP of his opinion of their actions and has done
nothing further except monitor the criminal proceedings the Crown has placed
against the Neo Nazi in BC and save his videos and webpages and that of his
associates. The words the Plaintiff stated in public in Prince George BC on
August 21, 2014 were recorded by the Neo Nazi and published on the Internet and
the RCMP knows the Plaintiff stands by every word. For the public record the
Plaintiff truly believes what Lonnie Landrud told him despite the fact that he
does not trust his Neo Nazi associates. Therefore the Plaintiff had no ethical
dilemma whatsoever in publishing the statement Lonnie Landrud mailed to him in
a sincere effort to assist Lonnie Landrud’s pursuit of justice. The Crown is
well aware that Plaintiff’s former lawyer, Barry Bachrach once had a leader of
the American Indian Movement for a client and that is why he ran against the
former Minister of Indian Affairs for his seat in the 39th Parliament.
85. The Plaintiff states that
while he was out west he visited Edmonton AB several times and met many people.
He visited the home of Barry Winters and all his favourite haunts in the hope
of meeting in person the evil person who had been sexually harassing and threatening
to kill him and his children for many years. The Crown cannot deny that Winters
invited him many times. On June 13, 2015 Barry Winters admitted the EPS warned
him the Plaintiff was looking for him.
86. The Plaintiff states that on
December 15th, 2014 the Crown in Alberta contacted him byway
of an email account he seldom uses since his last communications with the Sergeant-at-Arms
and Robin Reid. The Sergeant-at-Arms
wanted to know about a contact he had that day with the constituency office of
a recently appointed Cabinet Minister. All the other statements in this
complaint should prove that the Plaintiff knew why a political lawyer from NB was
ignoring a new constituent’s contacts all summer after answering a message in
Twitter promising to meet with him. It was obvious to the Plaintiff that as
soon as the lawyer was a Cabinet Minister he was attempting to use his
influence to intimidate the Plaintiff byway of the Sergeant-at-Arms like his political
associates in NB did in 2004.
87. The
Plaintiff states that before
he had a chance to respond to the email from the Sergeant-at-Arms of
Alberta, three members of the RCMP members in plain clothes were pounding on the basement
entrance of a condo at 1:30 AM. They did not identify themselves as being the
police as they attempted to harass the Plaintiff on private property in the
middle of the night without a warrant. The Plaintiff was twice the age of the
oldest one and considered them to be tough talking kids who were trying to
enter a home in the middle of the night so as he closed the door he told them
he was calling the cops. They hollered on the other side of the door that they
were the cops as the Plaintiff called their headquarters and was immediately
patched through to them. The Plaintiff refused their request when RCMP tried to
con him into coming outside in freezing temperatures in the middle of the night
so they could supposedly speak with him instead of saying what they needed to
say over the telephone. If what the RCMP was saying was remotely true then they
should have identified themselves and asked for him instead of someone else when
he answered the door. The Plaintiff’s response to the RCMP’s trickery was that
it was best that they communicate in writing and that he would be contacting
their lawyers in the morning. The Crown received its very justifiable responses
and the law was not upheld. The Plaintiff was ignored as the RCMP continued to
harass his family deep into the New Year as he headed for the BC coast then
back to the Maritimes to run for public office again.
88. The Plaintiff states that in
regards to this complaint the actions and inactions of the Sergeant-at-Arms
and the RCMP in
Alberta affirmed to the Plaintiff that he is still barred under threat of
arrest from all parliamentary properties in Canada because they did not deny
it. The RCMP does not have the integrity to talk to or email him about anything
because they know he tries to record everything just like they do. Instead of
acting ethically the standard operating procedure of the RCMP since 2004 is to
intimidate his friends and family in a malicious effort to impeach his
character and separate them. That is the reason the Plaintiff stays away from
most people most of the time. The actions of the RCMP towards the Plaintiff and
many others and his experiences in the USA served to convince him that the
Crown acts just like corrupt Americans. In order to cover up wrongs it would
prefer to injure and imprison ethical citizens in mental wards rather than
uphold the law or argue them publicly in a court of law. In 2002 the Plaintiff
explained why he would seek public office in Canada to American lawyers he was
suing within statements of a lawsuit about legal malpractice. Now he is doing
the same to Canadian lawyers in the employ of the government whose wages are
once again being paid by his fellow taxpayer. As the Plaintiff prepares to deal
with a predicable motion to dismiss and a motion for a publication ban to delay
and conceal this matter before polling day perhaps the lawyers working for the
Crown should study the Plaintiff’s work found within documents in the Governor
General’s office. Trust that he will look forward to talking to the first
lawyer to answer this complaint because it has been years since he could get any
lawyer in Canada to discuss anything with him. There is no ethical dilemma to
be found in this statement, the Crown counsels should just do their job
according to the law of the land, seek the documents in the possession of the
lawyer who is the Governor General of Canada and let the political cards fall
where they may. In closing the Plaintiff must remind the Crown that two members
of the Canadian Forces acting as security for the Highland Games held on the
grounds of the Lieutenant Governor’s residence in NB approached the Chief of
the Amos Clan claiming that an unnamed party found him “overbearing”. He gave them a copy of the Governors General’s letter
and freely left the parliamentary property.

Blogs that led to a rare charge of promoting hatred were more extreme
than anything he's ever seen before, says an Edmonton police
investigator.
"I've never seen such extreme hatred from an individual," said Edmonton police Sgt. Gary Willits. "He just kept spewing and nobody was safe from it.
"He literally in some of these blogs was saying to kill people."
After an investigation of more than a year, Edmonton police confirmed Wednesday a CBC News report a day earlier that revealed Barry Winters, 62, was charged with wilful promotion of hatred on a blog called The Baconfat Papers and other blogs between 2014 and 2016. But police say there's reason to believe the posts date back at least two years earlier.
Copies of the blog submitted for evidence by one of many complainants in the case show the blogger repeatedly made derogatory comments about numerous individuals across the country, including a number of well-known politicians and LGBTQ advocates in Edmonton.
The remarks don't exclusively target one particular group, but focus on various factors, including race, gender, sexual orientation and culture. Others attack individual politicians in various levels of government.
Willits said it's possible some people still don't know they were targeted in the blog posts.
Glenn Canning, based in Toronto, said there were dozens of posts on Winters' blog between 2014 and 2016 about his daughter, Rehtaeh Parsons. She committed suicide after she was sexually abused by a group of teenage boys at a party in Halifax in 2013.
Canning said he discovered his daughter and his family were the subject of the blog posts after someone contacted him and told him about them.
"It just broke my bloody heart in half to read that. It was cruel and it is even crueller to know that the guy did it for no other reason than he enjoyed hurting somebody."
Canning said he was in touch with police over the past year after they opened the investigation. He's glad police have finally laid a charge.
"I've cried over this," Canning said. "When it happens to you over a very personal thing, it affects you pretty badly."
Marni Panas, an Edmonton-based LGBTQ advocate, said she was appalled
when she stumbled across posts on a blog suggesting she move to a
country where transgender women, like herself, are persecuted.
Panas said she has experienced online hateful comments before, but said it stood out that the blogger in this instance was from the same city.
She said she'd never met the the blogger, to her knowledge, but wondered what would happen if she did.
Willits said police began the investigation in early 2016, after they received complaints about the blog posts.
Collecting the evidence was time-consuming and complicated, he said, because patterns of hatred, threats and harm had to be documented meticulously.
Willits said stating an opinion, a personal dislike, of something or someone, is not the same as "intruding on others" and "uttering threats.
The charge Winters faces is rare. Alberta Justice said in an email that province-wide, that type of charge has only been laid on three other occasions since 2011.
Edmonton police had to seek approval from the attorney general to charge the blogger, who police say had a growing following numbering into the thousands.
The posts were filled with derogatory words and "dehumanized scorn" toward people and identifiable groups, Willits said.
