On
Monday, a swing riding in Quebec has the opportunity to embarrass
Prime
Minister Justin Trudeau with a taste of comeuppance in a
byelection that has
more moving parts than Cirque du Soleil has
theatrics.
It should be

@Garry Moore Come to think of
it why did he give our tax dollars revenue funds to Clinton foundation
sheez. The nerve of that guy. Insider tradings influence peddling with
bronfman and KPMG club.

@Richard Riel Methinks you should Google the following N'esy Pas?
Diane Lebouthillier CRA David Amos KPMG
Jean Kirschtein
@David Amos Methinks you're a bit too high on conspiracy theory websites, Ain'tit Right?
Maybe stop the crack cocaïne and you won't look like a poor knock-off
version of Gandalf anymore. Congratulations on your humiliating defeat
in Fundy Royal 2015, by the way. Keep it up!
David Amos
@Jean Kirschtein Methinks you
should understand why I am honoured by the fact that people such as you
hate me However if this were a conspiracy theory my question to you is
why did CBC publish your libel while it blocks the proof of what I say
is true N'esy Pas?
"POOF" David Amos
Methinks I should contact
Richard Martel, Lina Boivin, Éric Dubois, Catherine Bouchard-Tremblay
and' Lynda Youde ASAP. They are certainly entitled to know what John
Turmel knows N'esy Pas?
Mike Hamilton
@David Amos You may need to brush up on your french before calling them.
mo bennett
@David Amos yer such a name dropper.
Neil Gregory
@Mike Hamilton
His constant use of "N'esy Pas" and "methinks" are just silly
affectation that are not only a annoyance, but also serve to further
discredit his opinions.
Mike Hamilton
@Neil Gregory He really doesn't need any help in that department.
David Amos
@mo bennett Methinks that
whereas I am such a "name dropper" and in light of the fact that this
article is about Trump affecting a byelection in Quebec, a Proud
Maritimer who has run for public office 5 times thus far and spoken to
old Johnny "Never Been Good" Turmel personally during a couple of the
aforesaid elections is entitled to drop a name or two N'esy Pas?
May I suggest that the electorate in Chicoutimi–Le Fjord and the rest of
Canada Google the following then follow the breadcrumbs to Mr Prime
Minister Trudeau The Younger's office?
Trump Cohen NAFTA TPP FATCA David Amos
BTW I talked to the assistant of one of Trump's lawyers again last week
but not Cohen this time. It was the lady who won't talk to the media.
Paul Cooper
@David Amos
Methinks you say methinks too much.
Laurie Clark
What a ridiculous article! Stop your bs Grenier! Trump has nothing to do with this!
David Amos
@Laurie Clark Methinks he should go on and on. No doubt many folks love the circus as much as I do N'esy Pas?
mo bennett
well, ya got the last line
right at least, eric, a win is a win, regardless of who caused it.
which, of course is 100% of the problem here, a win is all that matters
to politicians and to hell with anything or anybody else. right boys!
David Amos
@mo bennett Methinks I am gonna have a little fun with these French folks today in Trudeau The Younger's backyard N'esy Pas?
Neil Gregory
@David Amos
Still with the "N'esy Pas?," eh?
How can anyone take you seriously when you continue to misspell the phrase after being told about it so many times?
mo bennett
@David Amos go for it! it
will be just like that Seinfeld episode about nothing, and there's
nothin' as much fun as throwin' darts at the hypocrisy that dribbles
from the little darlings!
mo bennett
@Neil Gregory messy paws covers it better. politicians always have their hands in some sort of dirt!
David Amos
@mo bennett LOL Methinks that particular left wingnut ain't got the first clue as to who I am N'esy Pas?
Neil Gregory
@David Amos
This particular left-winger doesn't really care who you are, but was
curious enough to try entering the following into google: "david amos,"
"methinks," and "N'esy Pas." You really aren't as anonymous as you might
think you are.
David Amos
@Neil Gregory The last thing I am is anonymous what would be the point when running for public office five times?
Try Googling "Fundy Royal Debate"
Methinks you should ask yourself why I sued the Crown in 2015 while running for a seat in the 42nd Parliament N'esy Pas?
David Amos
@Neil Gregory "was curious enough to try entering the following into google: "david amos," "methinks," and "N'esy Pas."
Methinks a left wingnut finally discovered why I employ such expressions
constantly. In a nutshell it make me unique on the Internet Hence I am
easy to find N'esy Pas?
Now try Googling your name and mine if you want a good laugh
Robert Borden
@Neil Gregory
Are y’all tormented by N,easy Pas
Stephen George
@David Amos
And 5 times the public judged you on your merits.
David Amos
@Robert Borden Methinks its
incredibly comical that the simple expression only upsets anglophones.
French folks I know understand the joke. I simply write it like it
sounds N'esy Pas?
David Amos
@Stephen George Methinks that
the folks did not have a fair chance to judge me in light of the fact
that CBC ignored its non partisan mandate and denied that I was on a
ballot 5 times thus far However there is another election in my stomping
grounds this summer N'esy Pas?
Brian Cohen
@David Amos
More like a desperate attempt to get attention.
Just like a child
David Amos
@Brian Cohen Methinks you have not done much for democracy except criticize others in CBC N'esy Pas?
Brad Corboncan
The loonie is down, the price
of aluminum went up with the announcement of the tariff. Canadian
producers will not be losing money.
It isn't clear how that will
play out. Voters could punish Trudeau for the breakdown in U.S.-Canada
relations or reward him for standing up to the U.S. president and
pledging to defend the Canadian aluminum industry."?
So THIS is a blinding flash of the obvious that passes for political
analysis on the CBC - a politician can win or lose. The Schrödinger's
cat paradox was explained better on The Big Bag Theory.
Mark Wood
@James Watson
Apparently Schrödinger's cat paradox was not well explained on the Big
Bang theory, by the way it is not a paradox, it is a thought experiment.
Those that call it a paradox do not understand it properly. A law of
physics can't, by definition, be a paradox.
He is saying voters could go one of two ways, not both ways at the same
time until you look into the box. It is an interesting question since
crisis tends to have a rallying effect around the present government.
Content disabled. David Amos
@James Watson "The Schrödinger's cat paradox" ???
Methinks you think too deep This is merely a collision of two circuses
north and south of the 49th that have gone way out of control. The Big
Bang already happened at the G7. Harper and Mulroney and all their brown
bag buddies can't fix it it with Trump and his mean little mindless
minions. Folks should just sit back and enjoy the greatest shown on
earth because we will be paying for it for years to come N'esy Pas?
David Amos
@Mark Wood "The Schrödinger's cat paradox" ???
Methinks CBC did not appreciate my explanation of the Big Bang Theory
between two circuses north and south of the 49th so they blocked it
N'esy Pas?

the people that elected them!!
David Conway
I don't know what the
population percents work out to, but It's amazing how many people I've
noticed that vote on a single item (issues), or a single element (human
character or physical appearance). -- I guess it all goes with
democracy.
Mike Hamilton
@David Conway Some people vote based simply on which party their daddy and granddaddy voted for.
David Conway
@Mike Hamilton
In Texas, they say; His daddy, like his daddy before his daddy.
David Amos
@Mike Hamilton Methinks that is exactly what you do N'esy Pas?
David Amos
@David Conway Methinks a lot
of folks don't get the opportunity to decide about who is on their
ballot until they are looking at it because CBC ignores its non partisan
mandate N'esy Pas?
Notice they sing about Turmel today?
Do ya see CBC mention me in this election 3 years ago or any other election until they are a matter of history?
@David Amos You can think
whatever you like, but you are wrong. I have voted for all the federal
parties at one time or another and for various reasons. I used to vote
for one particular party all the time but that changed when that party
was sold to a regional fringe party. The 2015 election I voted Green
since I didn't care for the leaders of the 3 main parties. Easy Pass?
mo bennett
@David Conway you wearin' buford's hat today? ya'll should only be votin' whether it's a politician or not!

david mccaig (!2 Comments)
@david mccaig
it's the irrationality of our present day leaders that drives people to
vote for these right wingers. justin trudeau plans to ban plastic
drinking straws to protect our environment and in the same breath tells
us he's spending billions of our tax dollars to complete the kinder
morgan oil pipeline.

You are not paying attention, Gordon. The Libs ABSOLUTELY do not engage

Moe Jenkins
The question everyone should
be asking is WHAT HAS TRUDEAU DONE after spending TENS OF BILLIONS$ in
less than 3 years.? Show me the money? No? then where did it all go???
Brent Marshall
@Moe Jenkins
The majority of the money went to every country except Canada.
Richard Riel
@Brent Marshall Imagine he
goes out of his way to give our hard earned tax revenues funds to simply
give away to non taxpayers lol.
David Amos
@Brent Marshall Methinks you
care about money and taxation you should ask a lot of Canadians about
FATCA Obama, Harper and now Trudeau and Trump makes certain that the
USA gets the dough they don't deserve N'esy Pas?
Google the following if you truly care
Trump Cohen FATCA NAFTA TPP
David Amos
@Richard Riel Methinks he already did to some of us Its called FATCA N'esy Pas?
Mike Martin
@David Amos
what does "N'esy Pas" mean?
David Amos
@Mike Martin Methinks I have
explained this far too many times but at least a lot of French folks
around home know I have spelled it like sounds for years in order to
tease snobby Anglophones I was raised with in Canada's only bilingual
province no thanks to Mr Prime Minister Trudeau The Elder. Now years
later it appears that a lot snobs in CBC thoughout Canada have attacked
me over a simple spelling but not one soul has had a French name thus
far N'esy Pas?
David Amos
@Mike Martin BTW if you don't believe just Google the following
Charles Leblanc N'esy Pas?
Methinks you will see that I have been using that expression for years
against the CBC'New Brunswick's favourite half French half Scottish
blogger whom I gave a computer to while I was running in the election of
the 38th Parliament in return Chucky Leblanc stole my words and labeled
me s a Hell Angel just like his friends in the RCMP and the liberals
did in 1982.N'esy Pas?
Stephen George
@David Amos
Methinks you will never get over it, n'cest pas?
Madelien Hughes
Trudeau admitted himself in Question Period tha Harper left us with a surplus, yet people still say the opposite. Why is that?
david mccaig
@Madelien Hughes
Prime MINISTER PAUL MARTIN a Liberal , left Stephen Harper a true
surplus, not like the phony so called surplus Stephen Harper supposedly
left us , by not paying any of Canada's bills. Tantamount to not paying
your mortgage and your car payment and then crowing about all the new
found cash in your bank account.
Content disabled. David Amos
@david mccaig Methinks its
truly amazing how many comments made by other people go "Poof" when you
burst upon the scene N'esy Pas?
Scotty Davidson
@Madelien Hughes Harper had
one balanced budget and he got it by selling GM stock for a huge loss. 2
billion is what that balanced budget cost Canadians. Other than window
dressing issues there is little difference between the two parties.
David Amos
@david mccaig "Prime MINISTER PAUL MARTIN a Liberal , left Stephen Harper a true surplus"

Mo Jones
CBC News continues to carry
out Trudeau's agenda as his national mouthpiece, as it's the CBC who's
trying to turn this by-election into a Trudeau vs. Trump fight, not
anyone else. The amount of coverage that CBC provides on Trump compared
to Trudeau is stupefying, Trump is constantly berated by the CBC while
the utter incompetence of our own government is rarely mentioned. It
would be wise if the CBC stayed out of criticizing U.S. policy in its
typically especially demeaning manner in areas such as illegal
migration, lest Trump allow more migrants into Canada and turn his guns
on us and force our entire auto industry across the border into
Michigan. Gosh, Michigan and Detroit would love Trump for doing that.

their "trickle down" fables..
cons are responsible for 60 percent of Canada's debt since confederation
having be in power only 40 percent of the time..Harper and Mulroney are
share the responsible for nearly one quarter of that debt between them
David Amos
@J. Allen Murray Methinks you
are preaching to the choir Perhaps that is some of the many reasons why
I ran against them all five times this far N'esy Pas?
Madelien Hughes
Trump being Trump is a gift
for Justin. He can continue to mess up negotiations and now he can
blame it on Trump. Yes, Trump’s being himself, but Justin should have
foreseen this. He’s by no means innocent and absolved of
responsibility. This story just perpetuates the distraction.

@Kim Luciano Exposed as what?
As people who aren't afraid to take on Trump? That's a good thing and
if you'd take off your CPC blinders for a moment you'd see that.

standing up to Trump and it's clear that most Canadians, regardless of
their political affiliations, are backing him in this. Why are you and

Methinks its because everybody loves the circus N'esy Pas?

Eric???? You're still around?
I thought they fired you after another "Phenomenal" poll prediction in
recent Ontario provincial elections. If I'm not mistaken you were
cooking the poll data in favour of Communist NDP? But now we're talking about the federal level and here you can't be
wrong, the Paymaster is watching and Trudeau desperately needs a
confirmation of effectiveness for his usual deflection game "Trump is
bad, Justin is Good". Give it to him Eric, make him happy, We all
implore you
David Amos
@Val Benoit Methinks to give
the devil his due his polling predictions are very accurate. However i

Tories steal Liberal-held Quebec riding in federal byelection

candidate Richard Martel chats as they carry food at the famous Boivin

Jacques Boissinot/The Canadian Press
The Conservatives appear poised to steal a Quebec riding away from Justin Trudeau‘s ruling Liberals.
Conservative
candidate Richard Martel has jumped into a commanding early lead in a
federal byelection being held in the riding of Chicoutimi-Le Fjord.
With
70 of 188 polls reporting, the well-known former junior hockey coach
has captured just over 52 per cent of the vote, well ahead of Liberal
Lina Boivin with 28.6 per cent.
The NDP and Bloc Québécois candidates are bringing up the rear with 8.7 per cent and 6.4 per cent respectively.
The byelection was precipitated by the resignation of Liberal MP Denis Lemieux.
He
won the riding almost by fluke in the 2015 general election, with just
31 per cent of the vote. At that time, the riding contest was a four-way
fight, with the NDP capturing 29.7 per cent of the vote, the Bloc
taking 20.5 per cent the Conservatives taking 16.6 per cent.
Trudeau calls Quebec byelection days after funding pledge in riding

landmark to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau as he welcomed Liberal MPs to
his riding of Chicoutimi-Le Fjord for a caucus meeting in 2016. Trudeau
has called a byelection in the riding to replace Lemieux. Sunday, May
13, 2018.
THE CANADIAN PRESS/Jacques Boissinot
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau
has called a byelection for the Quebec riding of Chicoutimi-Le Fjord,
only days after pledging $60 million in federal funding for an
aluminum-smelting project in the area.
Voters
in the riding will head to the polls on June 18 to elect a new Member
of Parliament, after first-term Liberal MP Denis Lemieux announced his
resignation due to family reasons late last year.
Federal
parties have been waiting for the byelection as the riding has changed
hands several times and was hotly contested in the last election, as
Lemieux narrowly beat out incumbent NDP MP Dany Morin by 600 votes.
That equated to a 1.37 per cent margin of victory.
But
opposition parties have criticized the prime minister for making the
funding announcement only days before he was due to call the byelection,
saying the move smacks of cheap political tricks.
Trudeau announced the byelection on Sunday, three days after visiting the riding with Quebec Premier Philippe Couillard, where the two offered financial support for a $558-million prototype aluminum smelter.
The
project, a joint venture between aluminum giants Alcoa and Rio Tinto,
has been billed as the first carbon-free smelter in the world.
“It’s not a coincidence that suddenly the prime
minister and the Liberal government are paying a lot of attention to
this riding when he did absolutely nothing in the last two and a half
years,” Conservative MP Gerard Deltell said Sunday.
However,
Deltell added: “People realize that and recognize that, and you just
have to speak to people about that. They will not be fooled by the prime
minister.”
New Democrats have also questioned the timing of the prime minister’s funding announcement.
Liberal
party spokesman Braeden Caley said the Trudeau government has made many
funding announcements since taking power in 2015.
But he referred
specific questions about the Chicoutimi-Le Fjord announcements to the
Prime Minister’s Office, which did not immediately respond to requests
for comment.
The
Liberals have won the last two byelections in Quebec, which included
stealing a seat from the Conservatives, but both the Tories and the NDP
are hoping to make gains in the province.
The Conservatives have
nominated popular junior hockey coach Richard Martel to carry their flag
in the byelection, whom Deltell described as the right person to
reverse the Tories’ fortunes in the riding after placing fourth in 2015.
The Liberals have nominated local businesswoman Lina Boivin, while trade unionist Eric Dubois will represent the NDP.
Former
NDP national director Karl Belanger said the byelection has special
importance for New Democrats, given that the party held the seat before,
but has struggled to make any waves in Quebec since the last federal
election.
“There is a need for a good showing by the federal NDP
if we are to be taken seriously in the next federal election,” Belanger
told The Canadian Press on Sunday.
“It’s a seat we held. So
symbolically, we need to regain some of our electoral footing. It seems
unlikely for the Liberals to lose given the poll numbers and the fact
that they held the seat, but you have to be competitive.”
Trudeau caps 10 days of pork barrelling in vacant Quebec riding

Chief Political Correspondent Global News
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is greeted by aluminum plant
workers at an announcement on clean aluminum smelting technology,
Thursday, May 10, 2018 in Saguenay, Que. Those workers will soon be
voters in a byelection Trudeau is expected to call as early as this
weekend.
THE CANADIAN PRESS/Jacques Boissinot
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced Thursday a $60-million
injection of federal funds into a new organization which will develop
advanced aluminum manufacturing techniques, an announcement that is
likely to benefit voters in a vacant Quebec riding where Trudeau is
widely expected to call a byelection as soon as this weekend.
The flurry of government largesse may be a sign that, though the
Trudeau Liberals have enjoyed significant success in the 12 byelections
already held during this Parliament, the party is nervous about its
ability to hold the riding of Chicoutimi—Fjord.
And, on the other
side of the ledger, the Conservatives, who have lost two seats to the
Liberals in those 12 byelections, believe they have an excellent chance
at a steal in Chicoutimi.
The Conservatives have nominated a
popular junior hockey coach, 57-year-old Richard Martel. Martel, who has
more wins than any other coach in Quebec Major Junior Hockey League
history, has already had visits to the riding by Conservative Leader
Andrew Scheer as well as Quebec Conservative MPs Alain Rayes, Gerard
Deltell, Steven Blaney and others.

owner Guy Carbonneau, left, and team coach Richard Martel after he was
picked as third overall pick of the 2010 QJMHL draft in 2010 in
Drummondville, Que. Martel is now the Conservative candidate in a
soon-to-be-called byelection in the riding of Chicoutimi–Le Fjord.
THE CANADIAN PRESS/Jacques Boissinot
On Thursday, the Conservatives launched a new 30-second French-language advertising spot featuring Scheer
who, in the ad, says, “Trudeau’s priorities are not the same as yours.
By recognizing the Quebec nation, I want to see Quebec thrive. I want to
collaborate, not confront.”
The Conservatives do not have a good history in the riding, finishing fourth in 2015 with just 16.6 per cent of the vote.
Since
the riding took its current form for the 2000 general election, it has
been held by the Liberals, the NDP and the Bloc Quebecois. The last time
a conservative candidate won in a general election was in 1997. That
was Progressive Conservative André Harvey but he crossed the floor to
the Liberals shortly afterward.
But the Liberals are hardly a lock in this region. Liberal Denis Lemieux narrowly won the riding in 2015,
edging the NDP incumbent, Dany Morin, by just 600 votes or 1.3% of all
votes cast. But life as a backbench MP was not for Lemieux who quit late
last year.
Former Liberal MP Denis Lemieux points out a landmark to
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau as he welcomed Liberal MPs to his riding
of Chicoutimi-Le Fjord for a caucus meeting in 2016. Lemieux would quit
politics within weeks of that meeting.
THE CANADIAN PRESS/Jacques Boissinot
While Lemieux was an MP, the federal government provided a combined
$59 million for 24 projects in his riding, the single biggest of which
was a $46.9-million major renovation for Canadian Forces Base
Bagotville, the eastern Canadian home of the RCAF’s CF-18 fighter jets.
But,
apart from the Dec. 17, announcement, there have been no spending
announcements affecting Chicoutimi—Le Fjord organizations until late
last month when what appears to be a pre-election blizzard of spending
announcements began:
April 30: Revenue
Minister Diane Lebouthillier (whose riding is a long way away in the
Gaspé) shows up in the Chicoutimi-Le Fjord to hand out interest-free loans to four local businesses worth a combined $2.5 million.
May 1: Liberal MP David Lametti — whose riding is a long way off in Montreal — shows up in the riding to hand out interest-free loans to five local businesses worth a combined $655,925
May 4: Liberal MP Richard Hébert, whose riding is next door, pops over with a cheque for $564,000 for Réseau Trans-Al, a network of Quebec aluminum manufacturing enterprises and suppliers.
May 9:
Heritage Minister Mélanie Joly provides more than $375,000 in federal
funding to a local indigenous friendship centre for programming.
May 10: Trudeau joins Quebec Premier Philippe Couillard to announce a federal investment of $60 million into a new organization called Elysis,
a joint venture of aluminum giants Alcoa and Rio Tinto. Elysis, which
will be headquartered in Quebec, will work to develop new aluminum
manufacturing process which will emit lower greenhouse gas emissions.
Elysis promises to build “a world-class facility” in Chicoutimi-Le Fjord
region.
Not counting Trudeau’s announcement Thursday, that
adds up to 14 projects funded in the riding with a combined federal
contribution of $5,035,664.
Trudeau must call the byelection by June 2.
How Donald Trump and a hockey coach could help decide a byelection in Quebec
Local and international politics will intersect when voters go to the polls in Monday's federal byelection

Local and international politics will
intersect when voters in Chicoutimi–Le Fjord go to the polls in a
federal byelection on Monday.
The big question going in is: who
will turn out to have the most clout in the Quebec riding — the former
hockey coach, or the current president of the United States?
There
have been a dozen federal byelections since 2015. The Liberals have the
better record so far, having wrestled two seats away from the
Conservatives in those 12 contests. On Monday, the Conservatives are
hoping to pull one back.
The Liberals won Chicoutimi–Le Fjord by a narrow margin in 2015 and the seat is up for grabs again, following the resignation of Denis Lemieux as the Liberal MP last November. Three years ago, the party just managed to inch ahead of the New Democrats in the riding.
Lemieux won
with just 31.1 per cent of the vote in 2015, in what was a four-way
race. Incumbent NDP MP Dany Morin fell short with 29.7 per cent — only
600 votes behind Lemieux. The Bloc Québécois and Conservatives followed
with 20.5 and 16.6 per cent of the vote, respectively.
It was an
unexpected breakthrough for a party that had won the seat only once
before since 1980 — and even then it was thanks to the floor-crossing of
PC MP André Harvey before the 2000 election. Otherwise, the Bloc had a
stranglehold on the riding (as the party once had throughout the
Saguenay–Lac-St-Jean region), winning it in 1993, 2004, 2006 and 2008.
The seat fell to the NDP as part of Jack Layton's orange wave in 2011.
Considering
that the Liberals are ahead in the polls in Quebec, the party really
shouldn't be in a position to lose a seat it holds there now.
But
the Conservatives have put forward a high-profile candidate. Richard
Martel coached the Chicoutimi Saguenéens of the Quebec Major Junior
Hockey League over eight seasons, winning coach of the year honours in
2005.
The Liberals are running local businesswoman Lina Boivin,
who simply cannot compete with Martel for name recognition. Nor can the
NDP's Éric Dubois, the Bloc's Catherine Bouchard-Tremblay or the Greens'
Lynda Youde.
(John Turmel, however, is a name familiar to
election watchers. The independent candidate is running in Chicoutimi–Le
Fjord; it's his 95th campaign for public office — a world record he
adds to each year without ever having won. He took just 59 votes in the
riding of Brantford–Brant in the Ontario provincial election earlier
this month.)
Don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing
If
the provincewide polling is anything to go by, the Liberal party should
be the favourite in this riding.
The party is ahead in the polls in
Quebec with 39 per cent, according to the CBC Poll Tracker. That's up three points from the 2015 federal election.
The
Conservatives have also gained, increasing their support in the
province by five points to reach 22 per cent. The NDP has fallen seven
points to 18 per cent, while the Bloc is down four points to 15 per
cent.
Apply that swing to Chicoutimi–Le Fjord's 2015 results and
you've got the Liberals winning by about 11 points over the NDP, with
the Conservatives and New Democrats vying for second spot. The
Conservatives need a 14.5-point swing in their favour in order to take
the seat. At the moment, their position in Quebec relative to the
Liberals has improved by just two points.
But byelections can often buck wider trends — particularly when a candidate with high name recognition is on the ballot.
When candidates matter
This
time, the Conservative candidate could pull off the upset. A recent
Segma Recherche/Le Quotidien-Radio-Canada poll suggests Martel is the
favourite, with 48.5 per cent support compared to 26.7 per cent for
Boivin.
(The survey was conducted by telephone interviews, using
randomly selected landlines and cellphones, of 402 people from June 7 to
12. That sample size suggests a margin of error of plus or minus 4.9
per cent, 19 times out of 20.)
The sample size in the poll was
relatively small and riding-level surveys have been hit-or-miss in the
past. But high-profile candidates can make waves in local contests.
The
value of such a candidate can be limited in a general election, when
the national campaign and the performance of the leaders are paramount.
In byelections, which tend to see lower turnouts, the impact of good
candidates can be dramatic.
In the Lac-Saint-Jean byelection held in October,
the Liberals were able to gain 20 points over their 2015 performance
thanks in part to the candidacy of Richard Hébert, a well-known local
mayor. That 20-point increase came at a time when the Liberals' support
in Quebec was only about five points better than it had been in 2015.
Name recognition helped the Liberals win Lac-Saint-Jean away from the Conservatives. Gordie Hogg, a former B.C. MLA and mayor, did the same for the Liberals in the South Surrey–White Rock byelection in December. Martel could have the same impact for the Conservatives in Chicoutimi–Le Fjord.
The
turmoil within the Bloc Québécois might also play in the Conservatives'
favour. Though Martine Ouellet was rejected by members earlier this
month and is out as Bloc leader, the local riding association still will
not support Bouchard-Tremblay, the candidate appointed by Ouellet.
Conservative
Leader Andrew Scheer has made a direct play for nationalist voters in
the province and his party's support is up significantly in Quebec over
the last few months. Michel Gauthier, a former leader of the Bloc who
was MP for the nearby Roberval–Lac-St-Jean riding from 1993 to 2007,
campaigned alongside Scheer in the riding on Thursday and could help his
cause.
The Trump effect
But another factor that could prove influential in this byelection comes from an unexpected quarter — the White House.
The
trade dispute between Canada and the United States — which became
personal when U.S. President Donald Trump recently called Prime Minister
Justin Trudeau "dishonest and weak" — has a direct impact on voters in
Saguenay, which forms part of the Chicoutimi–Le Fjord riding. The U.S.
has imposed a 10 per cent tariff on Canadian aluminum, a third of which
is manufactured in Saguenay.
It
isn't clear how that will play out. Voters could punish Trudeau for the
breakdown in U.S.-Canada relations or reward him for standing up to the
U.S. president and pledging to defend the Canadian aluminum industry.
Whatever
happens, the trade dispute adds an unexpected and unpredictable twist
to this byelection. From the parties' perspective, of course, a win is a
win — no matter who or what caused it.

Citation: 2017 FCA

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

[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.
