Steele At
least we all owe the Peoples Alliance a vote of thanks for getting
Brian Gallant , and the SANB controlled Liberal Party , kicked out of
office after ONLY ONE TERM ; and saving N.B. taxpayers 130 MILLION on
the cancelled Francophonie games . If the Peoples Alliance had not
chosen to support the Higgs PC govt. ; then Brian Gallant would still be
Premier with taxes soaring , and out of control spending . It is what
it is .

didn't win I don't think it was a wasted vote best thing that ever

it cause it really forces them to work rather than just ram down our
throats whatever they see fit.

it's too bad because it is the same old response from the turn coat as
in all the previous elections...the MLA here has his agenda and cares
less about doing what is right, as to the safety minister,who agreed
before the election that this problem needs to be fixed...we need the
PANB in every riding to get the things the voters want...what a
concept...

in areas with a francophone population exceeding 99.9%.

People's Alliance holds first annual meeting since electoral breakthrough
Party can tout successes, but spectre of falling poll numbers lurk in background
People’s
Alliance leader Kris Austin said there's more excitement at this year's
annual general meeting, the first held after the party's electoral
victories in 2018. (Jordan Gill/CBC)
Leader Kris Austin is noticing a little more excitement around the People's Alliance of New Brunswick.
Members
of the party met in Fredericton on Saturday for the first annual
general meeting since winning three seats in the 2018 provincial
election.
About 100 people attended the meeting.
There was a different tone, Austin says.
"We've
had some success in the last election," said Austin. "I said some,
actually we've had some great success … I think the membership is
starting to see all the work they've been doing over the years has paid
off."
The
People's Alliance is no longer a party asking to be let into the
legislature, but one that now has to justify its place to party members.
This means having to justify a legislative record to party members, something it hasn't had to do before.
Austin said he doesn't think the relationship between the party and membership has changed, but expectations are higher.
"We
are in there now to do as much as we possibly can to change the course
of the province. The membership certainly wants to see results and I
think we've been providing results."
'I'm impressed'
Jonathan
Clayton, who has been involved with the party for about three years,
said he's impressed with what the party has been able to accomplish.
"I'm
impressed with the things they've been able to get done and how they've
been judicious with the balance of power that they do have," said
Clayton.
'I’m
impressed with the things they’ve been able to get done,' said Jonathan
Clayton, who has been involved with the party for about three years. (Jordan Gill/CBC)
Clayton
said the party has been able to achieve much in a short amount of time,
but he understands there's still a gap between what was promised in
the platform and what has been delivered so far.
"They're not
realistically going to be able to achieve 100 per cent of the things
they want to achieve in a minority situation. But they're moving in that
direction and I think that's good."
Walking fine line
The
Progressive Conservatives have governed a reasonably stable minority
government since the last election, with the only real threat of
returning to the polls coming from the premier himself.
They have been able to do so largely because of the support of the People's Alliance.
But
Austin said the party's goal is to pass legislation and keep the Higgs
government accountable and admits the party has a fine line to walk.
"We
want to be at the table with government to be able to accomplish some
of the goals we set out to accomplish," said Austin. "At the same time,
we're in no one's back pocket."
About 100 people attended the meeting. (Jordan Gill/CBC)
The party can tout some victories, including removing the requirement for front licence plates on New Brunswick vehicles.
But
while the governing Progressive Conservatives have seen their support
go into majority government territory, the People's Alliance have seen
their support drop to six per cent according to a recent Narrative
Research poll.
The party received 12.5 per cent of the vote in the election.
Austin said the poll numbers don't bother him, as he's never paid much attention to them.
"If
you look at the polling say five, six months before the last election,
they didn't have us winning any seats either," said Austin.
People's Alliance to reflect on successes, challenges during AGM
Leader Kris Austin is proud of what his party has accomplished so far but will push for 'language fairness'
CBC News ·
People’s
Alliance Leader Kris Austin says bilingualism isn't working, so the
province has to either change the law to make it 'more practical to
what's happening on the ground' or 'continue to struggle along.' (CBC)
The People's Alliance will celebrate its successes, review its
challenges and discuss its vision at its annual general meeting in
Fredericton this weekend, says party leader Kris Austin.
He says
he's proud of what his party has accomplished in the past nine months,
since he won his seat in the Sept. 28 provincial election and brought
in MLAs Michelle Conroy and Rick Desaulniers with him.
He cites securing an extra $1 million for the auditor general's budget, eliminating the requirement for front licence plates and
reducing the frequency of annual motor vehicle inspections to only
after three years for new vehicles and every two years for older models
as examples.
"You know, we had a choice last fall when we defeated the
Gallant Liberals and I sided with the [Progressive] Conservatives — we
had a choice to either remain in perpetual opposition and accomplish
little to nothing or, you know, try to strike that balance where we can
have a seat at the table with the government and get some of our ideas
and the platform items advanced."
Austin,
Conroy and DeSaulniers formed an alliance with the Progressive
Conservatives, the party closest to them on the ideological spectrum, to
vote as a bloc to defeat Brian Gallant's Throne Speech, which allowed
Blaine Higgs to become premier with only 22 of 49 seats and just 32 per
cent of the popular vote.
The People's Allance committed to an 18
month alliance. "That's barring, you know, the government not doing
anything stupid," said Austin.
"I
mean if, you know, the Higgs government comes out and put something in
the budget that they know we simply can't agree with or can't support,
then so be it. But barring that, look, we're here to work with them as
much as possible and move the province forward."
Seeking 'language fairness'
Pushing for "language fairness" and tax reform remain high on his list, he said.
Austin
previously pushed the Tories and Medavie to come up with a mechanism
for hiring more unilingual paramedics for permanent, full-time jobs.
About 50 have been hired, he said.
Now he wants to see the Official Languages Act amended next session to eliminate the bilingual requirement for paramedics.
"We
respect the right of both languages, both people in the province,
French and English, to receive service in their language of choice. We
just want to see it implemented in a more reasonable and practical way."
Louis
Robichaud said years ago when he implemented bilingualism that no
unilingual should be at a disadvantage when it comes to employment
because of bilingualism. But that's exactly what we've got today. And
we're here to change it.- Kris Austin, People's Alliance leader
He
said he's heard from many civil servants, including paramedics and
nurses, who are frustrated about being denied employment or seniority
because of language requirements.
In some cases, those
requirements "don't make sense," he said. Advanced paramedics, for
example, are usually second to arrive on scene, not the first, so
bilingualism should not be "a major requirement," he argued.
"Louis
Robichaud said years ago when he implemented bilingualism that no
unilingual should be at a disadvantage when it comes to employment
because of bilingualism. But that's exactly what we've got today. And
we're here to change it."
The province is also facing shortages of
some professionals, such as nurses, noted Austin. He contends language
requirements make it even more difficult to recruit and retain.
"So it's kind of a human resource issue on top of the language issue as well. So we're just looking for some balance."

Alliance leader Kris Austin as he prepares for the party's AGM this
weekend. He says "in a minority situation it's a constant give and
take". 16:29
Austin
credit's his party's "give and take" approach with making some inroads
on other important files, such as a 30 per cent reduction of glysophate spraying along NB Power lines.
The People's Alliance called for a complete ban in its campaign, but a 30 per cent cut is "significant," he said.
And while the party supported the government in lifting the moratorium on fracking in the Sussex area,
he believes the Tories would have lifted it across the province if they
had a majority government. "We weren't prepared to go that far."
This way, the Sussex area, which is held by a PC member, will serve as a test pilot to gauge public response.
"Again, we're there to strike that balance," he said.
"We're
going to keep fighting for the things that we've campaigned for, we're
not backing down. But at the same time, we have to be able to work with
the government if we're going to accomplish anything."
Austin
is optimistic. His party is still "learning the ropes" of the
legislative process, but has been able to hire staff to help with
research and communications, as well as a part-time secretary with the
extra funding that came with winning three seats in the legislature, he
said.
"It's been a huge boost."
And
25 people from across the province have offered to sit on the party's
board, which only consists of 16 members. "So that shows that, you know,
we're certainly growing and getting new interests involved," said
Austin. "It's exciting."
The
party's AGM will be held at the Fredericton Inn on Saturday. Members of
the public are invited to a meet and greet Friday night.

I
may be a little confused here, Is there not 5 candidates in this
Riding..
Humm. Seems you forgot the Independent candidate, David Amos
is running,
heard him on the radio and has a u tube following, Funny
how u tube has
become become more accurate than the CBC. Shame on you,
CBC. Lets just see if
you will post this comment,,,
David Amos
@tony forward For the record
CBC is well aware that I am the fifth
candidate. Hance Colburne of CBC
moderated the debate in Hampton on
Oct 7th one before CBC posted on their
website on Oct 14th his
interview with Rob Moore on CBC airwaves
David
Amos
Anybody bother to notice I am the only person posting here with a
real
name and it is the same name that is on the ballot in Fundy
Royal?
Do ya think the lawyer Rob Moore "The True Conservative" or any of
the
others would dare to debate me in writing with their true name
within
a website funded by the taxpayer and controlled by questionable
public
servants? How about outside the CROWN"s domain within the
Yankee
website called Twitter? That is where I play very serious
Political
Hard Ball. See for yourself or ask Rob Moore's hero Stevey Boy
Harper
if I am a liar or not.

impressed at CBC's sudden fit of Integrity to
allow my posts to stand the
test of time for a few hours at least. (:

saving digital snapshots just in case
they delete and block me as usual

In return here is an old scoop about CTV that CBC and everybody
else
and his dog has been ignoring for 11 very long years after I ran
in
the election of the 38th Parliament against the aptly named lawyer
Rob
Moore.
Mr. Amos,
I confirm that I have received your documentation. There is
no need to send
us a hard copy. As you have said yourself, the
documentation is very
voluminous and after 3 days, we are still in the
process of printing it. I
have asked one of my lawyers to review it
in my absence and report back to me
upon my return in the office. We
will then provide you with a
reply.

than bar me from the airwaves and try to have

have the advantage, sir, of having read many of your emails over the

As such, I do not think a phone conversation between us,
and
specifically one which you might mistakenly assume was in response
to
your threat of legal action against me, is likely to prove a
productive
use of either of our time.

of the New Brunswick Branch of the Canadian

the then President of the Branch, Kathleen Quigg,

stated:

>>> You are your brother’s

>>> Frank McKenna is the former Premier of

>> REASONS FOR JUDGMENT BY THE
COURT
>>
>> I.
Introduction
>>
>> [1] On September 16, 2015,
David Raymond Amos (Mr. Amos)
>> filed a 53-page Statement of Claim
(the Claim) in Federal Court
>> against Her Majesty the Queen (the
Crown). Mr. Amos claims $11 million
>> in damages and a public apology
from the Prime Minister and Provincial
>> Premiers for being illegally
barred from accessing parliamentary
>> properties and seeks a
declaration from the Minister of Public Safety
>> that the Canadian
Government will no longer allow the Royal Canadian
>> Mounted Police
(RCMP) and Canadian Forces to harass him and his clan
>> (Claim at
para. 96).
>>
>> [2] On November 12, 2015
(Docket T-1557-15), by way of a
>> motion brought by the Crown, a
prothonotary of the Federal Court (the
>> Prothonotary) struck the
Claim in its entirety, without leave to
>> amend, on the basis that it
was plain and obvious that the Claim
>> disclosed no reasonable claim,
the Claim was fundamentally vexatious,
>> and the Claim could not be
salvaged by way of further amendment (the
>> Prothontary’s
Order).
>>
>>
>> [3] On January 25,
2016 (2016 FC 93), by way of Mr.
>> Amos’ appeal from the
Prothonotary’s Order, a judge of the Federal
>> Court (the Judge),
reviewing the matter de novo, struck all of Mr.
>> Amos’ claims for
relief with the exception of the claim for damages
>> for being barred
by the RCMP from the New Brunswick legislature in
>> 2004 (the Federal
Court Judgment).
>>
>>
>> [4] Mr. Amos
appealed and the Crown cross-appealed the
>> Federal Court Judgment.
Further to the issuance of a Notice of Status
>> Review, Mr. Amos’
appeal was dismissed for delay on December 19, 2016.
>> As such, the
only matter before this Court is the Crown’s
>>
cross-appeal.
>>
>>
>> II.
Preliminary Matter
>>
>> [5] Mr. Amos, in his
memorandum of fact and law in
>> relation to the cross-appeal that was
filed with this Court on March
>> 6, 2017, indicated that several
judges of this Court, including two of
>> the judges of this panel, had
a conflict of interest in this appeal.
>> This was the first time that
he identified the judges whom he believed
>> had a conflict of interest
in a document that was filed with this
>> Court. In his notice of
appeal he had alluded to a conflict with
>> several judges but did not
name those judges.
>>
>> [6] Mr. Amos was of the
view that he did not have to
>> identify the judges in any document
filed with this Court because he
>> had identified the judges in
various documents that had been filed
>> with the Federal Court. In his
view the Federal Court and the Federal
>> Court of Appeal are the same
court and therefore any document filed in
>> the Federal Court would be
filed in this Court. This view is based on
>> subsections 5(4) and
5.1(4) of the Federal Courts Act, R.S.C., 1985,
>> c.
F-7:
>>
>>
>> 5(4) Every judge of the Federal Court
is, by virtue of his or her
>> office, a judge of the Federal Court of
Appeal and has all the
>> jurisdiction, power and authority of a judge
of the Federal Court of
>> Appeal.
>>
[…]
>>
>> 5(4) Les juges de la Cour fédérale sont d’office
juges de la Cour
>> d’appel fédérale et ont la même compétence et les
mêmes pouvoirs que
>> les juges de la Cour d’appel
fédérale.
>> […]
>> 5.1(4) Every judge of the Federal Court of
Appeal is, by virtue of
>> that office, a judge of the Federal Court
and has all the
>> jurisdiction, power and authority of a judge of the
Federal Court.
>>
>> 5.1(4) Les juges de la Cour d’appel
fédérale sont d’office juges de la
>> Cour fédérale et ont la même
compétence et les mêmes pouvoirs que les
>> juges de la Cour
fédérale.
>>
>>
>> [7] However, these
subsections only provide that the
>> judges of the Federal Court are
also judges of this Court (and vice
>> versa). It does not mean that
there is only one court. If the Federal
>> Court and this Court were
one Court, there would be no need for this
>> section.
>> [8]
Sections 3 and 4 of the Federal Courts Act provide
>>
that:
>> 3 The division of the Federal Court of Canada called the
Federal Court
>> — Appeal Division is continued under the name “Federal
Court of
>> Appeal” in English and “Cour d’appel fédérale” in French.
It is
>> continued as an additional court of law, equity and admiralty
in and
>> for Canada, for the better administration of the laws of
Canada and as
>> a superior court of record having civil and criminal
jurisdiction.
>>
>> 3 La Section d’appel, aussi appelée la
Cour d’appel ou la Cour d’appel
>> fédérale, est maintenue et dénommée
« Cour d’appel fédérale » en
>> français et « Federal Court of Appeal »
en anglais. Elle est maintenue
>> à titre de tribunal additionnel de
droit, d’equity et d’amirauté du
>> Canada, propre à améliorer
l’application du droit canadien, et
>> continue d’être une cour
supérieure d’archives ayant compétence en
>> matière civile et
pénale.
>> 4 The division of the Federal Court of Canada called the
Federal Court
>> — Trial Division is continued under the name “Federal
Court” in
>> English and “Cour fédérale” in French. It is continued as
an
>> additional court of law, equity and admiralty in and for Canada,
for
>> the better administration of the laws of Canada and as a
superior
>> court of record having civil and criminal
jurisdiction.
>>
>> 4 La section de la Cour fédérale du
Canada, appelée la Section de
>> première instance de la Cour fédérale,
est maintenue et dénommée «
>> Cour fédérale » en français et « Federal
Court » en anglais. Elle est
>> maintenue à titre de tribunal
additionnel de droit, d’equity et
>> d’amirauté du Canada, propre à
améliorer l’application du droit
>> canadien, et continue d’être une
cour supérieure d’archives ayant
>> compétence en matière civile et
pénale.
>>
>>
>> [9] Sections 3 and 4
of the Federal Courts Act create
>> two separate courts – this Court
(section 3) and the Federal Court
>> (section 4). If, as Mr. Amos
suggests, documents filed in the Federal
>> Court were automatically
also filed in this Court, then there would no
>> need for the parties
to prepare and file appeal books as required by
>> Rules 343 to 345 of
the Federal Courts Rules, SOR/98-106 in relation
>> to any appeal from
a decision of the Federal Court. The requirement to
>> file an appeal
book with this Court in relation to an appeal from a
>> decision of the
Federal Court makes it clear that the only documents
>> that will be
before this Court are the documents that are part of that
>> appeal
book.
>>
>>
>> [10] Therefore, the
memorandum of fact and law filed on
>> March 6, 2017 is the first
document, filed with this Court, in which
>> Mr. Amos identified the
particular judges that he submits have a
>> conflict in any matter
related to him.
>>
>>
>> [11] On April 3,
2017, Mr. Amos attempted to bring a motion
>> before the Federal Court
seeking an order “affirming or denying the
>> conflict of interest he
has” with a number of judges of the Federal
>> Court. A judge of the
Federal Court issued a direction noting that if
>> Mr. Amos was seeking
this order in relation to judges of the Federal
>> Court of Appeal, it
was beyond the jurisdiction of the Federal Court.
>> Mr. Amos raised
the Federal Court motion at the hearing of this
>> cross-appeal. The
Federal Court motion is not a motion before this
>> Court and, as such,
the submissions filed before the Federal Court
>> will not be
entertained. As well, since this was a motion brought
>> before the
Federal Court (and not this Court), any documents filed in
>> relation
to that motion are not part of the record of this
Court.
>>
>>
>> [12] During the hearing of
the appeal Mr. Amos alleged that
>> the third member of this panel also
had a conflict of interest and
>> submitted some documents that, in his
view, supported his claim of a
>> conflict. Mr. Amos, following the
hearing of his appeal, was also
>> afforded the opportunity to provide
a brief summary of the conflict
>> that he was alleging and to file
additional documents that, in his
>> view, supported his allegations.
Mr. Amos submitted several pages of
>> documents in relation to the
alleged conflicts. He organized the
>> documents by submitting a copy
of the biography of the particular
>> judge and then, immediately
following that biography, by including
>> copies of the documents that,
in his view, supported his claim that
>> such judge had a
conflict.
>>
>>
>> [13] The nature of the
alleged conflict of Justice Webb is
>> that before he was appointed as
a Judge of the Tax Court of Canada in
>> 2006, he was a partner with
the law firm Patterson Law, and before
>> that with Patterson Palmer in
Nova Scotia. Mr. Amos submitted that he
>> had a number of disputes
with Patterson Palmer and Patterson Law and
>> therefore Justice Webb
has a conflict simply because he was a partner
>> of these firms. Mr.
Amos is not alleging that Justice Webb was
>> personally involved in or
had any knowledge of any matter in which Mr.
>> Amos was involved with
Justice Webb’s former law firm – only that he
>> was a member of such
firm.
>>
>>
>> [14] During his oral
submissions at the hearing of his
>> appeal Mr. Amos, in relation to
the alleged conflict for Justice Webb,
>> focused on dealings between
himself and a particular lawyer at
>> Patterson Law. However, none of
the documents submitted by Mr. Amos at
>> the hearing or subsequently
related to any dealings with this
>> particular lawyer nor is it clear
when Mr. Amos was dealing with this
>> lawyer. In particular, it is far
from clear whether such dealings were
>> after the time that Justice
Webb was appointed as a Judge of the Tax
>> Court of Canada over 10
years ago.
>>
>>
>> [15] The documents that
he submitted in relation to the
>> alleged conflict for Justice Webb
largely relate to dealings between
>> Byron Prior and the St. John’s
Newfoundland and Labrador office of
>> Patterson Palmer, which is not
in the same province where Justice Webb
>> practiced law. The only
document that indicates any dealing between
>> Mr. Amos and Patterson
Palmer is a copy of an affidavit of Stephen May

the St. John’s NL office of Patterson Palmer. The

January 24, 2005 and refers to a number of e-mails

addressed to four individuals, one of whom is John

counsel to the St. John’s NL office of Patterson

is dated September 2, 2004 and is addressed to

Greg G. Byrne, Suite 502, 570 Queen Street,

5E3”. In this letter Mr. Amos alludes to a

>> [16] Mr. Amos’ position is that simply
because Justice Webb

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.
