Irving will be testifying on Independence Day...Hmmm...Considering he
is running his company like Mulroney ran his party circa 1992, it will
be fascinating to see his responses...

We are pleased to announce that Cathy Lahey, QC, partner in our Saint
John office, has been appointed to the Department of Justice’s Judicial
Advisory Committee (“JAC”) in New Brunswick for a two-year term.
This
comes as part of an announcement from The Honourable Jody
Wilson-Raybould, Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Canada, who
appointed members in five provincial jurisdictions, adding to the
existing complement of JACs.
JACs are independent bodies which were formed as part of a new process,
announced in October 2016, to assess federal judicial applicants and
provide the Minister of Justice with lists of high-calibre candidates
who represent the diversity of Canada.
Cathy joins Twila Reid, partner in our St. John’s office, who was
appointed to the JAC in Newfoundland and Labrador earlier this year

Jesse Brown, Chucky Leblanc, Jamie Irving, Al Hogan and the long gone
BNI ombudsman Patricia Graham are trying forget why BNI fired their
minion Scott Agnew after he bragged that he had my blog and two emails
killed. When Agnew's lawyer wife and former Green Meanie Alison Menard
and her many political cohorts had me arrested without a warrant etc.
that really took the cake.
A couple of years later it was a small wonder to me to learn that
Agnew's wife had dumped him as well. However it was truly too funny when
Agnew ran the "Occupy New Brunswick" nonsense for the Soros Crowd
without much success N'esy Pas?
David R. Amos Methinks
the Feds appointed one of Dominic Leblanc's buddies to the Queen's
Bench in a nick of time. I will lays odds that Leblanc has not forgotten
the Harper Wafergate Scandal Hence if the Liberals can embarrass the
Conservatives byway of a ridiculous lawsuit against the Irving Clan
before the writ is dropped you can bet they will do so N'esy Pas?
"In court in Moncton Thursday, Court of Queen's Bench Justice Denise
LeBlanc said she had received an affidavit from Dr. Bruce Campbell that
said Irving should rest for a period of at least four weeks, after
which, his medical condition should be re-evaluated."
Lou Bell Trump got a doctors excuse to avoid the draft ! Hmmm !

Jamie Irving probably seems rich beyond the dreams of avarice to many of us regular folks and his family does have a longstanding track record of tough business dealings but the man is still a fellow human being.
If he's sick, it behooves us as decent human beings to treat him with compassion and dignity and, if we are people of faith, to pray for his speedy recovery.

"BNI’s internal investigation immediately follows inquiries made by CANADLAND to current and former employees.
An email from an Irving
Irving empire scion Jamie Irving, who oversees the family’s newspaper monopoly and rarely replies to media inquiries, provided comment to CANADALAND.
Asked about the status of the three editors, Guy’s alleged meeting with government officials, the paper chain’s knowledge of the meeting and its failure to report on it, Irving tells CANADALAND that “the matters you raise are under active investigation and an internal process is in play regarding some employees.”
Irving also confirmed that Editor-in-Chief Brethour is leading the internal investigation.
Larry’s Gulch: Powerful Men & Secret Salmon
Larry’s Gulch, a secluded government-owned fishing retreat, has been shrouded in secrecy and controversy. For decades it has provided seclusion for private summits between powerful men, as in 2002 when then Premier Bernard Lord hosted Brian Mulroney, George H.W. Bush and Pierre Karl Péladeau. It is also rented out for public and private events, and used by government departments for routine meetings.
According to a November 12, 2012 Telegraph-Journal editorial, Larry’s Gulch is a place where “advice is sought, strategies are devised, and new relationships are forged between representatives of government and potential investors.

Reply to @David R. Amos:
"In fact, in 2012 and 2013, the Irving’s Brunswick News papers mounted an aggressive campaign against the government for refusing to release the list of guests it brought to the taxpayer funded resort. Between November 2012 and July 2013, BNI’s three lead papers applied steady pressure, publishing no less than 10 stories on the subject.
But all that came to a screeching halt in late 2013 when, sources tell CANADALAND, Telegraph-Journal reporter Shawn Berry learned that among the government guests at the resort was his Brunswick News superior, Managing Editor Murray Guy.
Though Shawn Berry informed his editors about what he discovered, BNI never reported it and the editorializing and reporting on the Larry’s Gulch guest list stopped. At the time, John Wishart was the Editor-in-Chief of Brunswick News.
Roughly a year after the incident, Shawn Berry left BNI. He is now a spokesperson for New Brunswick premier Brian Gallant. He did not reply to requests for comment."

Ex-Brunswick News editor accused of 'setting a trap' in wrongful dismissal suit
Former Times & Transcript managing editor Al Hogan is suing Brunswick News for wrongful dismissal
Former
editor-in-chief Patrick Brethour, right, faced four hours of
cross-examination Friday from the lawyer representing Al Hogan, left, in
his wrongful dismissal suit against Brunswick News. (CBC)
A former top editor from Brunswick News Inc. was accused Friday
of "setting a trap" that allowed him to fire the managing editor of the
Times & Transcript in 2015.
Patrick Brethour faced four hours
of cross-examination from Scott Ellsworth, the lawyer representing Al
Hogan in his wrongful dismissal suit against the newspaper company.
Ellsworth
went over a series of emails, parsing words and debating their meaning
as he pressed Brethour about the internal investigation that led to the
firing.
But Brethour refused to budge,
repeating over and over that Hogan lied to him about his role in an
effort to change government documents from the Larry's Gulch fishing
lodge.
Brethour
recounted how his investigation started with a focus on assistant
managing editor Murray Guy's 2013 trip to the lodge, but then shifted to
Hogan's role.
Ellsworth accused him of not making that clear to Hogan during a pair of interviews on Feb. 9 and Feb. 13, 2015.
"Would
it not have been fair and appropriate to have advised Mr. Hogan that
this was the purpose of the interview, so that he might prepare
himself?" he asked.
And he questioned why Brethour didn't disclose
at the Feb. 13 interview that he had now seen an original version of an
email exchange that Hogan had later altered and knew about the changes.
Brethour conducted an internal investigation that eventually led to Hogan's firing in 2015. (CBC)
"I
am curious as to why you would not have said 'Al, I've got some emails
here that are not making sense to me.' ... Why didn't you take the
opportunity to raise the subject with Mr. Hogan?"
Brethour
defended his approach, saying at that point, "asking Mr Hogan to do so
would not have added to my understanding of the matter."
"You were setting the trap," Ellsworth told him.
"I would disagree with that wholeheartedly," Brethour said.
2013 Larry's Gulch trip
Guy
visited Larry's Gulch in 2013 at the invitation of NB Liquor. When a
Brunswick News reporter discovered his name on a guest list obtained
through a right-to-information request, he lied to Hogan and said he
hadn't been there.
At the time, Hogan asked him why the list
didn't have his real name, Thomas Guy, that wouldn't be recognizable to
the public, and told him, "better get Darell to change it before it gets
released," a reference to Darell Fowlie, a senior advisor to
then-premier David Alward.
Hogan deleted both of those lines from the email when he forwarded to Brethour after the investigation started in 2015.
Former Times & Transcript editor Murray Guy visited Larry's Gulch in 2013 at the invitation of NB Liquor. (CBC)
Hogan
testified this week those lines were "irrelevant" to the point he was
making, which was that Guy hadn't actually been there--a belief that
later turned out to be mistaken.
But Brethour later obtained the
original email and other emails from the Brunswick News server and
concluded Hogan deleted the lines to deliberately conceal that he'd
directed Guy to get the document changed.
Brethour said if Hogan
really was just trying to correct a mistake, he should have formally
requested the change in a letter and notified his supervisors, rather
than doing it in secret.
Ellsworth argued Friday that while
Brethour showed Hogan the altered email during the investigation, he did
not actually ask him about the changes.
Hogan, who is seen leaving court earlier this week, was accused of lying about his efforts to change government documents. (CBC)
"If
you had wanted to know sincerely and fully why Mr. Hogan abridged,
edited, altered, summarized ... an email exchange that he sent to you,
you surely could have put that question to him," he said.
Brethour
said that didn't change Hogan's obligation to offer up the truth. He
said he had told Hogan the fishing guest list was a serious issue and
that the company might sue the Canadaland podcast that was preparing to
report on it.
"I told Mr. Hogan that it was critical that we be
perfectly clear about what happened," he said, adding later there was
"no room for fuzziness."
'He was asked to tell the truth'
And
during a Sunday phone call with Hogan in the midst of the
investigation, Brethour added, "I assured him that if he continued to
tell the truth everything would be fine."
That led to another
volley about whether the investigation was a trap. "Mr. Hogan was never
asked to produce emails," Ellsworth said.
"He was asked to tell the truth," Brethour shot back.
The
Larry's Gulch fishing lodge is located on the Restigouche River.
Government officials have used the fishing lodge to hold meetings and
entertain guests. (CBC)
The
cross-examination veered into semantic debates several times, including
when Brethour said it was "contrary to the precepts of journalism" for a
newspaper editor to work in secret to change a public document.
Ellsworth
challenged him on the definition of a public document, and Brethour
answered: "a document subject to public access requests is surely a
public document."
Brethour acknowledged that Fowlie contacted him
during the investigation to back up Hogan's version of events but he
opted to not include that in a front-page column by ombudswoman Patricia
Graham about the internal inquiry.
"I
felt the article published was fair, accurate and complete," Brethour
said, pointing out that Fowlie was offered a chance to comment the
following week for a subsequent story and refused.
Brethour was the second-last witness in the trial.
Jamie
Irving, the vice-president of Brunswick News and a member of the family
that owns the newspaper company, was scheduled to testify Friday
afternoon.
But BNI lawyer Catherine Lahey said she didn't think
she could get through his testimony by the end of the afternoon, so his
appearance was rescheduled for Thursday July 4.

Testimony from Brunswick News
vice-president Jamie Irving in a wrongful dismissal lawsuit has been
postponed due to a medical condition.
Former Times &
Transcript managing editor Al Hogan is suing the newspaper company for
wrongful dismissal in relation to his 2015 firing, which came after an
internal investigation over a controversial trip involving one of his
employees.
In court in Moncton Thursday, Court of Queen's Bench
Justice Denise LeBlanc said she had received an affidavit from Dr. Bruce
Campbell that said Irving should rest for a period of at least four
weeks, after which, his medical condition should be re-evaluated.
No information was given in court about the medical condition.

Speaking
via teleconference, Catherine Lahey, Irving's lawyer, said her client's
preference was to get the matter resolved before the end of those four
weeks.
Irving's testimony has been rescheduled to July 16, with the next day set aside for closing arguments.
The
weeklong trial heard from Hogan, as well as a former senior adviser to
then-premier David Alward, and former editors-in-chief at the paper.
Larry's Gulch lodge on the Restigouche River. (CBC)
The
controversy is centered around Murray Guy, then assistant managing
editor, accepting a free trip to the provincial government fishing lodge
Larry's Gulch, and attempts to have documents altered to conceal his
visit after the fact.
Guy's name appeared on a guest list for the
lodge obtained by one of the company's reporters through a
right-to-information request.
Testimony revealed Hogan deleted
parts of an email he was asked to submit to the company, that suggested
removing Guy's name from the official guest list.
Hogan was fired from Moncton's Times & Transcript in 2015 after an internal investigation. (CBC)
Hogan
said he wasn't trying to have Guy's name removed, only the reference to
where he worked, because he had permission to go to the lodge as a
private citizen, not as a representative of the newspaper.
He said
the 2015 investigation was "a sham" and the company "intentionally
manipulated" the findings to fire him to achieve "an underlying
objective to concentrate editorial control over its publications in its
corporate directors, including Irving," according to the statement of
claim.
