Professor's blog posts spark backlash, prompt internal review at Mount Allison University
University condemns 'inappropriate' comments, students' union says it has received multiple complaints
· CBC News · Posted: Feb 23, 2021 4:24 PM AT
Mount Allison University said in a statement that it has received complaints about a faculty member's blog and that 'serious concerns have been expressed' about posts related to systemic racism, sexual violence, gender and colonization. (Submitted by Mount Allison )
Mount Allison University has launched an internal review after receiving complaints about an associate psychology professor's personal blog.
In a statement, the university said it has received complaints about a faculty member's blog and that "serious concerns have been expressed" about posts related to systemic racism, sexual violence, gender, and colonization.
"We neither support nor agree with the inappropriate comments that have been posted to this blog," the university said in its statement, which was posted Monday night on Facebook and emailed to faculty, staff and students.
"We recognize that comments such as these are hurtful to many people in our community and more widely."
The university said it has initiated its "internal review processes," and will be looking into the situation to determine next steps.
It noted concerns have been raised by the Mount Allison Students' Union, the Black Students adviser and diversity educator, the Indigenous Affairs co-ordinator and the Indigenous Student Support Group, and said it would ensure that these issues "are addressed without delay."
The statement did not identify the professor or the blog.

Multiple complaints about blog, students' union says
However, Mount Allison Students' Union president Jonathan Ferguson told CBC News that the blog in question was that of Prof. Rima Azar, a health psychology professor at the university.
"Many students reached out to us yesterday morning about the blog," and complaints have continued to come in since then, he said.
"They were concerned about what this professor was saying throughout her blog … denying systemic racism in New Brunswick or in Canada, talking about BIPOC students in unkind ways, labelling Black Lives Matter a radical group — stuff that doesn't run in line with the values of our institution at all."
Several Twitter posts have also cited concerns about Azar's blog, bambisafkar.ca, Ferguson said.
Ferguson said the students' union flagged the concerns to administration and will now stand back and "give them time to go through the process" of an internal review.
Mount Allison health psychology professor Rima Azar declined to comment on her personal blog posts or on the university's decision to launch an internal review of complaints about it. (Mount Allison University)
Reached by email on Tuesday morning, Azar said she was ill and was awaiting medical test results.
She declined to comment on the personal blog or on any measures the university is taking in response to complaints about it.
According to the Mount Allison website, Azar is also an adjunct professor at Dalhousie Medicine New Brunswick and at the Université de Moncton school of psychology.
Asked what next steps and possible repercussions of the internal review would be, Mount Allison communications officer Aloma Jardine referred CBC News to the statement issued Monday evening.
"We will not be making further comment at this time," Jardine said.
Ferguson noted the students' union has no specific hoped-for outcome, other than to ensure its students feel represented and heard.
"A lot of people will rightfully bring up where freedom of speech falls into this, but I just want to say on behalf of the students of Mount Allison that freedom of speech doesn't mean amnesty from consequences," he said.
"She is free to say what she feels and students are free to express how upset they are with those comments."

Hmm.
The subsequent doxxing and cancel-culture orthodoxy is a whole other, sinister issue. Don't know what she teaches - but I'll bet she's seen the writing on the wall. Hope she doesn't have to fear for her safety - that would be a brutal irony.
So now professors have to tow the line with institutional “values”. Mark this as the end of education. It’s indoctrination and bend the knee or bust. What a joke!
When I see the foot steps of immigration pointing away from North America I will concede we aren't improving as a culture.

Probe of professor's blog a form of cancel culture, free-speech group says
Group calls internal review an 'egregious violation' of academic freedom, urges Mount Allison to reconsider

Mount Allison University has launched an internal review after complaints about the personal blog of health psychology professor Rima Azar. (Brian Chisholm/CBC News file photo)
Mount Allison University's decision to launch an internal review following complaints about the personal blog of one of its professors is an "egregious" violation of academic freedom, a group dedicated to the protection of free speech and scholarship says.
Earlier this week, Mount Allison announced it was conducting an internal review after receiving complaints about an associate psychology professor's blog.
In a statement, the university said "serious concerns have been expressed" about posts related to systemic racism, sexual violence, gender, and colonization.
"We neither support nor agree with the inappropriate comments that have been posted to this blog," the university said.
On Wednesday, the Society for Academic Freedom and Scholarship rallied to the professor's defence.
The society, a group of Canadian professors headed by philosophy professor Mark Mercer, sent a letter urging Mount Allison to rethink its decision.
"The professor alluded to in the tweet is Rima Azar, associate professor of health psychology, and the comments Dr. Azar posted on her blog "Bambi's Afkar" concern matters of public and academic importance, such as freedom of expression, university policies, the existence of systemic racism in Canada and teaching in a multi-cultural society," the group said in a letter to Mount Allison.
"SAFS is concerned that Mount
Allison's [statement] violates Dr. Azar's academic freedom and will
function to suppress discussion and inquiry" at the university.
Mark Mercer, president of the Society for Academic Freedom and Scholarship, says Mount Allison has "no legitimate reason" to look into Azar's postings. (Submitted by Mark Mercer)
In an interview, Mercer said Mount Allison has "no legitimate reason" to look into Azar's postings, and said he sees its decision to do so as a response to public pressure.
"It's an expression of cancel culture and it perpetuates cancel culture," Mercer said. "As soon as the investigation is called, that's an act of cancelling."
Azar declined to comment on the internal review or on the society's response.
Mount Allison acknowledged Friday that it has received the letter, but did not respond to questions about whether it will continue with the review.
"We have no further comments at this time," communications officer Aloma Jardine said in an email.
Mercer said he has not heard back from Mount Allison yet, but that he is hopeful the university will change its position and use the controversy as a "teachable moment."
"When we're confronted with positions that we think are false or dangerous, we should analyze them, discuss the arguments for and against," not shut them down, he said.
No topics should be off-limits, Mercer says
Earlier this week, Jonathan Ferguson, president of Mount Allison Students' Union, said it received multiple complaints about Azar's blog.
The complaints were not about any one post specifically, he said, but rather about "what this professor was saying throughout her blog … denying systemic racism in New Brunswick or in Canada, talking about BIPOC students in unkind ways, labelling Black Lives Matter a radical group — stuff that doesn't run in line with the values of our institution at all."
Husoni Raymond, a St. Thomas University graduate who was mentioned in Azar's blog, tweeted: "So one Black person wins an award and that means there's no racism? Disappointing to see a professor who's still ignorant to what racism is and will be using her power within the institution to uphold racists ideologies. Racism IS in Canada. Racism IS in NB."
Raymond was responding to a post by Azar in which she said, in part:
"NB is NOT racist. Canada is NOT racist. We do not have 'systemic' racism or 'systemic' discrimination. We just have systemic naivety because we are a young country and because we want to save the world.
"Oh, one quick question to Mr. Husoni Raymond: Upon your graduation from St. Thomas University, you have been named the 2020 recipient of the Tom McCann Memorial Trophy for your 'strong leadership and character' ...
"If NB is as racist as you are claiming, would one of its prestigious universities be honouring you like that?"
Mercer said no topics should be off-limits.
"The point of freedom of expression on campus is to remove impediments from discussion ... so that people can say what's on their mind," he said.
"So when a university says it doesn't support this view, then that's the institution saying there's a party line. And then when they say they're investigating, then they're saying there are some things that cannot be said."
About the Author
I don't recall there being any hue and cry about respecting my freedom of speech at the time from any journalists, despite the fact that I had been a director of the Canadian Association of Journalists, won journalism awards and worked in the media for decades.
It seems to me like the call to respect freedom of speech only applies in Canada to those with whom the activists agree.
Unfortunately, the only choice at the ballot box is for the welfare/warfare state, imo. There is no smaller gov't, lower taxes and regulations, bring the troops home and stop supporting all the war starting sanctions option.

Emery Hyslop-Margison
Emery Hyslop-Margison (born 1957) is a Canadian professor of education, and an author of six books and numerous scholarly articles. He held a Canada Research Chair with a focus on democratic learning in 2005–2007.
Hyslop-Margison received his PhD from Simon Fraser University in 2001. His dissertation argued for the liberalization of vocational and career education based on the concern that these programs indoctrinated students into a neo-liberal mindset (Hyslop-Margison, 2005). Much of his work challenges contemporary neo-liberal values that situate economic objectives as the sole purpose of education (Hyslop-Margison, 2007).
Hyslop-Margison's most recent scholarship argues that neo-liberalism is no longer sustained through ideological manipulation, but increasingly through the use of brute force, or the repressive state apparatus (Althusser, 1971). This shift is manifested, in part, through the international trend toward the election of right wing political parties, including the election of Donald Trump as U.S. President.

Mark Mercer received his doctorate in philosophy from the University of Toronto in 1991 and began teaching in Halifax, Nova Scotia, in September 1999. He was chair of the philosophy department from 2010 to 2019. He works mainly in philosophy of mind and ethics.
Dr Mercer’s current interests in the philosophy of mind concern the nature of mental states and the question how beliefs and desires can be causes and effects.
In ethics, one of his projects has to do with the problem why care to promote the good or to do the right thing; another has to do with the claim that while we value some things intrinsically, nothing is intrinsically valuable.
Since arriving in Halifax, Dr Mercer has developed a passion for ancient Greek philosophy. He likes each year to teach at least one course on the pre-Socratics, Plato, or Hellenistic philosophy.
Dr Mercer is a committed civil libertarian and a champion of liberal education and academic freedom.
The Society for Academic Freedom and Scholarship (SAFS) is a national group of academics and others who support academic freedom and the merit principle in higher education. Dr Mercer became a member of SAFS in 2007 and was elected president in 2015.

A Perfect Storm of Misinformation
How to improve your BS detector

Welcome to the web version of Need to Know: Science & Insight, a new form of personal journalism that looks at what we Need-to-Know at this time of pandemic, existential crisis of climate change and unravelling of nature’s life supports. Learn more.
Dear Friends: We’re in the middle of a storm of lies, distortions and misinformation. It’s going to get worse when it comes to vaccines, climate change, alternative energy, and other solutions to bring about a transition to a sustainable, zero-carbon future.
I’ve been navigating through this mire for 25 years, including the recent Texas blackout. A subscriber prompted me to share with you some Need-to-Know tools I use to keep my BS detector robust and well tuned. Please share any of your tips in the comments.
Recently a subscriber asked me about an “intriguing and somewhat disturbing” video from Prager University about renewable energy.
That set my BS detector tingling.
Anything from PragerU is disturbing since it’s a right-wing YouTube propaganda channel pretending to provide online education. And of course it’s not an accredited university.
Prager has pumped out over 650 short videos since 2011 — often featuring professional liars from Fox News such as Glenn Beck and Tucker Carlson.
The Prager videos are slick, with a white male in a suit very confidently explaining something in a I-know-more-than-you tone. In this case how 100% renewable energy is impossible, as well as being an expensive, environmental disaster.
In the video Prager expert Mark Mills conveniently forgets to mention climate change or the enormous environmental impact of coal, gas and oil.
Turns out Mills is a big investor in the oil & gas industries and is with the free-market think tank the Manhattan Institute (MI). They are well-funded by the fossil fuel companies like Exxon and Koch Industries and known for its efforts to gut environmental regulations, cut welfare spending (except corporate), and lobby for tax breaks.
Mills’ has no particular expertise in energy or science, other than an undergraduate degree. That hasn’t stopped him from posing as an energy expert to attack renewables in videos and opinion articles (op eds).
First find out who is behind the curtain
I researched this before even looking at the content of Mills’ video. The Need-to-Know for me is to first find out who is behind the curtain because good propaganda is convincing and contains some accurate, factual information. It takes expertise or a lot of investigation to untangle the distortions, half-truths and cherry-picked data.
Second find out if they have an agenda
So before reading or listening to someone I want to know if they have any expertise, if they have a political agenda or a vested interest in the topic. Then I can decide if I want to listen to what they have to say.
I used two primary tools from my BS detector kit in this case:
Sourcewatch identifies who is behind and who funds various think tanks, institutes and other organizations. They document their research and I’ve found them to be reliable.
DeSmogBlog maintains an extensive database of both individuals and organizations who try to confuse the public and stall action on climate change. International in scope. There are far more than you think — I use the search function a lot.
Texas blackout’s perfect storm of misinformation
Last week there was a blizzard of lies claiming that the massive power blackout in Texas was caused by frozen wind turbines. A Need-to-Know is there are wind turbines in Antarctica generating electricity for US and New Zealand research bases. And it also gets pretty cold in Alberta where wind turbines have been spinning away since 1993.
During that record-cold in Texas some turbines didn’t work because someone failed to ensure they were winterized. Practically every major news outlet in the US, as well as independent fact-checkers, have debunked the big lie that millions of Texans were without heat and power because renewables are no good.
Unsurprisingly Fox News blamed wind turbines for the blackout 128 times over two days according to MediaMatters.
Oily quid pro quo
Ted Cruz and other Republican politicians from Texas who blamed wind turbines also happen to get buckets of cash from the oil and gas industry. In fact Cruz and two others pocketed $1.1 million in the 2020 election cycle according to an investigation. And Cruz wasn’t even up for re-election.
If you read that article I linked to you’ll also see Texas Governor Greg Abbott received $1.6 million last year from one oil company CEO, and nearly as much again from some other Texas oil tycoons.
Even in Canada know-nothing pundits like Rex Murphy used the Texas blackout as an excuse to deny climate change for the zillionth time and to claim renewables are a waste time. Murphy has received buckets of cash from the fossil fuel industry, a fact that is almost never disclosed in the newspapers, websites, TV programs where he appears.
No expertise, a political agenda and vested financial interest — So why read it?
Murphy has no expertise in energy or science but he does have a clear vested interest and a political agenda as a climate denier. His expertise is as a clever, engaging and supremely confident propagandist. In other words, a snake-oil salesmen loudly claiming environmentalists with their vested interests in clean air and a stable climate are the real snake-oil merchants.
The Texas blackout became the ‘perfect storm’ to attack clean, low-cost renewable energy to prevent it from kicking fossil fuels to the curb. And the attack has been loud and sustained with the new Biden administration’s intent on serious actions to reduce US carbon emissions.
The shock doctrine at work
The attack was also intended to distract from the real causes —climate change-fueled extreme weather and failure to maintain Texas’ electricity infrastructure — which is primarily gas.
Author and activist Naomi Klein has documented how this kind of disaster is often used to push "unpopular free-market policies that tend to enrich elites at everyone else’s expense”. Klein explains how this “shock doctrine” works in a new op ed.
The Texas disaster is already paying off. “Obviously, this week is like hitting the jackpot,” boasted the CEO of Comstock Resources, a shale gas drilling company as gas prices skyrocketed and households faced electricity bills over $16,000 according to the Intercept and New York Times.
We all Need-to-Know that the lies, distortions and misinformation about climate change, wind and solar energy, as well as electric vehicles are going to escalate as the US and the rest of the world make the transition to low-carbon living. There will be loud and sustained efforts to sow doubt and confusion to slow and delay this absolutely essential transition to protect our future.
However we’ve already had two decades of delay. There’s no time for debate. We need to rush, to make a rapid transition knowing there will be mistakes along the way.
Tools to reinforce your own BS detector
No tool is perfect. I use multiple ones to look behind the curtain and debunk false claims.
The big picture tool
Merchants of Doubt: A documentary film and a book on the tobacco industry roots and how the whole climate denial industry operates. I reviewed the film for The Guardian a few years back.
The how-to handbook tool
The Debunking Handbook 2020 from George Mason University. It’s a 12 page guide on how-to debunk misinformation by 22 academics — yep misinformation and propaganda is so persuasive today it’s become an academic discipline
Sharpen your BS detection instincts tool
The Cranky Uncle game uses cartoons and critical thinking to fight misinformation. It’s a free app and fun to use while challenging. Great even for kids.
The best fact checker tools
FactCheck.org — US focused but excellent for coronavirus and Facebook misinformation
Politifact – rates the accuracy of claims by elected officials and others who speak up in American politics. Won the Pulitzer Prize.
AFP Fact Check – fact check fake photos and videos as well. This is the best for non-USA fact checks.
Snopes — one of the first — covers a huge range of topics from Nigerian email scams to latest facebook lies
Media watchdog tools
Climate Feedback is a worldwide network of scientists sorting fact from fiction in climate change media coverage. Helps readers know which news to trust. [Coverage is thin - can’t keep up with deluge]
MediaMatters. This is a liberal site with ties to US Democrats for monitoring, analyzing, and correcting conservative misinformation in the U.S. Media. I use them occasionally and it helps to be aware of their bias.
Media Bias / Fact Check — A database that assess bias and accuracy of over 3600 media sources.
A final thought: Memes are not the best way to get your news. Memes have been hi-jacked too. For example iFunny memes, a meme-sharing app from Russia, is chock-full of misleading claims.
Until next time, stay safe

One of the reasons I left my corporate career all those ago was to write about what I believed were need to know science and environmental issues.
My work has appeared in dozens of publications including National Geographic news, The Guardian, Vice, New Scientist, Al Jazeera, Maclean’s Magazine, Changing America, The Toronto Star, Wired News, and publications in Europe and Asia. I received the SEAL Award for Environmental Journalism two years running for my work documenting climate change impacts and solutions at National Geographic and Vice.
I previously received the Prince Albert/United Nations Global Prize for reporting on international environmental issues as a result of my years as the senior science and environment correspondent at the Rome-based, Inter Press Service News Agency (IPS), the world’s largest not-for-profit news agency.
My one and only book, “Your Water Footprint” (“…a brilliant and shocking exposé on precisely how much water we use…”— Publishers Weekly) was awarded Best Science Book of the Year in Canada.

"University of Kings College journalism professor Kim Kierans said newspaper companies have been 'bleeding red ink' from lack of advertising, even more so since the pandemic.
Kierans is glad to hear the BNI memo says reporters will still be working and able to tell their stories in those communities.
She pointed out that Nova Scotia's Saltwire Network of Newspapers went further than BNI, laying off 240 staff for 12 weeks.
But the closing of local newspaper offices, she said, will definitely leave a hole in those communities.
"The newspaper is the town square," Kierans said. "People drop in. They pick up papers there, they drop off advertising there, and you have a sense of exchange of ideas. People talking to one another."

Brunswick News to close community newspaper offices across province
Employees will work from home, says BNI memo

Community newspapers across New Brunswick are losing their offices, many of them in the heart of their small cities and towns, after a decision shared with staff this week by Brunswick News Inc.
In an internal memo issued Monday, BNI vice-president Jamie Irving told staff the offices would be closed permanently and employees would work from home.
The offices to close are home to the Kings County Record in Sussex, the Miramichi Leader, the Campbellton Tribune, the Northern Light in Bathurst, the Bugle Observer in Woodstock, and the Victoria Star and Cataracte newspapers in Grand Falls. BNI offices in Richibucto, Edmundston and St. Stephen will also close.
Sussex Mayor Marc Thorne of Sussex called it a "sad day" for every community affected.

"I think it's just a terrible thing," Thorne said Tuesday. "BNI may feel that nothing's been lost, that they're still going to cover the communities, but I can promise you that's not the case. If you don't have people living and working in your community and building relationships, you don't have the same quality of paper at all."
The newspaper company will keep the locations of its three daily papers open, although the Telegraph-Journal in Saint John and the Daily Gleaner in Fredericton had already moved from the buildings they'd occupied for decades into less central properties.
The Moncton Times & Transcript, where BNI prints its daily and community newspapers, remains on Main Street.

Emails and calls by CBC News to BNI publisher Mike Powers and editor-in-chief Jackson Doughart were not returned.
As with many businesses during the COVID-19 pandemic, BNI staff have been working from home as a safety measure.
Madeleine Leclerc, the former editor of the Cateracte and Victoria Star, said the writing was on the wall three years ago when she left the company.
The reporters were being pressed to focus less on very local stories and to do more that would be of interest to people around the province who read the Telegraph-Journal.
Fears for local news
"I hope that our weeklies are not going to be forgotten or passed over for the provincial edition," Leclerc said. "That's what I hope. And if they do cover, then it gets printed in the TJ, I hope it's not buried on the back page."It is not clear from the BNI memo if the weekly papers will continue to produce print editions. Production of the English-language daily and weeklies is already centralized in Saint John.
While the office closures are disappointing news, David Cadogan, former owner of several weeklies, including the Miramchi Leader and Kings County Record, said COVID-19 was likely the last straw for the newspaper chain.
"I'm frankly very, very sad," Cadogan said. "I certainly don't blame Brunswick News. These are just the absolute doomsday times for newspapers."
Pandemic would have worsened problems
Cadogan said the closure of businesses during the pandemic would have hurt the advertising revenue that helps keep offices open and staff employed."It's a terrible, terrible time to be in the newspaper business, so I understand what they are up against and I understand the necessity for what they are doing."
Cadogan said he believes that even this is a just a stop-gap step for the newspapers as people have known them for many years.
"They are essentially on the way out," he said, adding this is happening all across Canada and the United States.
A 'champion' for a community
He believes it is a huge loss for communities, who need a "healthy independent newspaper to champion for the community and stick up for its interests, work its politicians and discover any bad behaviour that's taking place in the government or the public.""You know the community needs a champion and someone to stick up for the citizens, their readers."
Cadogan questions who will do that when community newspapers close completely.
"If the people will not support a newspaper — advertisers and citizens — they're going. And I'm not blaming the people for that because all the other things working against the newspapers are making it pretty well impossible for them to exist as we knew them."
University of Kings College journalism professor Kim Kierans said newspaper companies have been 'bleeding red ink' from lack of advertising, even more so since the pandemic.
Kierans is glad to hear the BNI memo says reporters will still be working and able to tell their stories in those communities.
She pointed out that Nova Scotia's Saltwire Network of Newspapers went further than BNI, laying off 240 staff for 12 weeks.
But the closing of local newspaper offices, she said, will definitely leave a hole in those communities.

The internet killed newspapers. Anyone can be a reporter now. Just film people or things and put them on facebook. Now YOU are a reporter!! This is what the internet was supposed to do, bring democracy to reporting. So get out there people and find interesting stuff and post it.
What possible reason could you have for being happy about the demise of community newspapers?
Any business and community leaders in Bathurst who want to have a home-grown newspaper here to rival what is left of The Northern Light are welcome to contact me and back me financially to open a new community newspaper in our city.
When I first moved to Bathurst back in 2001, The Northern Light had an editorial staff of four and was thicker than the Telegraph-Journal is now. It was also printed right here in Bathurst.
The printing presses were carted away. The Northern Light building was destroyed. The editorial staff was cut and then cut again. Now, even the rented offices of The Northern Light are disappearing.
Do you want a community newspaper in Bathurst? Do you think you deserve one, that Bathurst is big enough and has enough readers and businesses to support one?
If you the answers to those questions is "Yes", then I would be happy to work with you to help make that happen.
Est-ce que vous pensez qu'il n'y plus rien à discuter dans notre société ou que tous les nouvelles importantes sont déjà transmises dans les médias que nous avons?
Moi, je crois qu’une dialogue plus approfondi sur les enjeux importants dans notre société est quelque chose qui nous manque.
Nous nous devons d’être mieux informés.

Exactly. They complain about Irving.
Now he’s gone and they say what !
I've put out the offer. If people take me up on it, it'll show they're serious about community news. If they don't, well, that will speak volumes about how they feel as well.
A Blogger Who’s a Court-Approved Journalist
Many bloggers describe themselves as journalists. Last week Charles LeBlanc, a rooming house resident who lives on social assistance in Fredericton, New Brunswick, received a court decision establishing his journalistic credentials.
The confirmation came last Friday when a judge dismissed charges against Mr. LeBlanc of obstructing a police officer.
For the last two years, Mr. LeBlanc has been expressing his views on poverty and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder through a blog (oldmaison.blogspot.com). The idea, he said, came from benefactors who also provided him a small digital camera and a computer.
He declined to name the people, however, partly because at least one of them is employed by his favorite target: the many companies in New Brunswick controlled by the Irving family, which owns, according to a report on media ownership released by Canada’s Senate earlier this year, all the English-language daily newspapers in New Brunswick.
In June, Mr. LeBlanc went to Saint John, New Brunswick, to report on a protest against a meeting of chamber of commerce and board of trade members from Atlantic Canada and New England. Protestors stormed the meeting. Mr. LeBlanc was among those arrested.
Officers from the Saint John police testified they are regular readers of Mr. LeBlanc’s blog as part of their effort to gather intelligence on protests. William J. McCarroll, the provincial court judge who heard Mr. LeBlanc’s case, wrote in his decision that “Mr. LeBlanc is a ‘blogger.’ I’m sure that many, if not the majority of Saint Johners, are not familiar with this word.”
After reviewing videotape from a Canadian Broadcasting Corporation crew at the scene, sometimes in slow motion, the judge found that it contradicted testimony of the arresting officer, Sergeant John Parks.
“Members of the so called mainstream media were taking photographs and filming in the same area without interference from the police,” the judge wrote in a 20-page decision. “I believe it’s fair to say that the defendant was doing nothing wrong at the time he was approached by Sergeant Parks and placed under arrest. He was simply plying his trade, gathering photographs and information for his blog alongside other reporters.”
The judge also said that the police had no right to delete about 200 photos stored on Mr. LeBlanc’s camera.
Mr. LeBlanc said he had considered improving his skills by studying journalism at a local university. That is, until its journalism department accepted a donation of 1 million Canadian dollars from the Irvings. “Do you think I could study in a classroom listening to an Irving employee?” he asked.

Blogger gives his views on the decision of Court of Queen's Bench Justice Paulette Garnett!
Judge says defamation law will eventually tame internet
Blogger Charles LeBlanc ordered to pay $2,925 in court costs to Fredericton as lawsuit dismissed
Court of Queen's Bench Justice Paulette Garnett says defamation laws will eventually tame "the Wild West" of the internet.
Garnett makes the statement in her March 16 decision that dismissed a claim by blogger Charles LeBlanc that the City of Fredericton breached his rights under the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
Acrimonious history
LeBlanc has an acrimonious history with the Fredericton Police Force that culminated in a charge of criminal libel under Section 301 of the Criminal Code being laid against LeBlanc for posting on his blog at various times that a Fredericton constable was a "fascist cop" and "sexual pervert."
LeBlanc also used a bullhorn outside the Fredericton police station to state the force employs "sexual perverts" and that the constable who issued him a ticket in 2011 for bicycling without a helmet in the city's downtown was a "faggot."
New Brunswick's Attorney General eventually directed in 2012 that the criminal libel charge against LeBlanc be dropped because several other provinces had found Section 301 of the Criminal Code to be unconstitutional.
In November 2016, LeBlanc was informed by two members of the Edmundston Police Force that he was being investigated for defamatory libel under Section 300 of the Criminal Code following a complaint lodged with the Fredericton force.
Because of its contentious history with LeBlanc, the Fredericton force asked Edmundston police to investigate the complaint.
Child sexual exploitation cited
Meanwhile, LeBlanc initiated the lawsuit against the City of Fredericton and its police force because in the initial criminal libel investigation, Det. Robb Costello made an official request for information about LeBlanc's internet usage by stating he was carrying out a criminal investigation related to child sexual exploitation.
Following a two-day hearing last week, Garnett dismissed LeBlanc's lawsuit, noting that the city filed 17 affidavits in the case and LeBlanc did not file any, so the only evidence before the court was the city's.
"This evidence leads to the conclusion that the actions of the City were done in good faith, that the procedures were in keeping with the policies of the police department, that Mr. LeBlanc was treated in the same way as any other citizen in similar circumstances and that his [Charter] rights were not infringed," Garnett says in her ruling.
- Charles LeBlanc investigated again for libel against Fredericton police
- Controversial blogger charged with libel
- Fredericton blogger libel charges won't proceed
- Blogger feud continues with Fredericton City Hall
- Fredericton police should have 'farmed out' blogger case: ex-ombudsman
Garnett ordered that LeBlanc pay $2,925 to the city in court costs.
'He believes that his right to free speech includes the right to defame others with impunity.' - Paulette Garnett, Court of Queen's Bench justiceHowever, in her decision Garnett comments on defamation in the internet age.
"Although Mr. LeBlanc clings to his rights under the Charter, it does not appear that he has any concern for the rights of others," Garnett writes. "He believes that his right to free speech includes the right to defame others with impunity.
"One commentator has compared the internet to the Wild West and although the common-law action for defamation may take time to tame it, it will eventually do so. Those who carelessly or viciously attack their neighbours should beware of the Lone Ranger."

When you look at all the incidents involving the Fredericton City Police and Mr. LeBlanc ; then it is obvious that the police has abused its authority on several occasions when dealing with Mr. LeBlanc . This includes such instances as raiding his home , and seizing his computer equipment ; petty charges such as riding a bicycle without a helmet , etc . As this current case proves , it is difficult for a man like Mr. LeBlanc who has limited funds to fight the City of Fredericton who is funded by the taxpayers . It is truly an injustice .
Graham McCormack
@Matt Steele Oh please! This was all his making and as much I was would like to think this will make him go away, I don't see that really happening.

@Matt Steele Ask yourself an obvious question. If you go to Chucky's Leblanc"s blog you will see that last evening he was reading this CBC article and no doubt all the comments as well. I would bet dimes to dollars all the cops and politicians in Fredericton are reading them too.
If Chucky were truly an honest dude then why does he not defend himself in this comment section instead of allowing people like you to comment on his behalf in his defense?
After all you and Chucky cannot deny that this domain controlled by the Crown is supported by taxpayers who also pay for Chucky's welfare and health care. I know why Chucky does not speak up in a public domain which he can do for free. It quite simply is because he cannot control the comment section and delete his responses if he becomes embarrassed by his own published words. More importantly Chucky cannot block folks he calls "Coward Jerk faces" because in fact that is just exactly what he is.
David Raymond Amos
@David Raymond Amos Interesting that CBC would block that comment I guess just like their blogging buddy Chucky I will have to blog it N'esy Pas?
David Raymond Amos
@David Raymond Amos At the very least CBC should not deny the fact that these are Chucky's words last night about this article about him.

Must be well over $100,000!!!!

Everybody knows that Chucky and I hate each other with a passion and that I am proud of my Scottish ancestors and that he is not. However the Scottish guy in me agrees that it is kinda strange that CBC knew of the judge's decision before the French dude did. However everybody knows how the Crown plays with the Justice System in New Brunswick N'esy Pas Blaine, David, Justin, Dominic, Brian, Serge and Denis???

What a hilarious temper tantrum and all for what -- a bicycle helmet? Too funny. Always makes my day seeing one of these stroppy boys of the net getting a good scolding.
David Raymond Amos
@Rosemary Stones Cease and desist with your fancy British words that we poor Maritmers cannot understand
Mike Archibald
There's a big difference in making these claims when one side admits 17 affidavits and the other side doesn't know what an affidavit is. He represented himself, and all anybody has to do is read Bernard Richard's report on the matter to know that he was not 'treated like any other citizen'.
Even Bernard Richard said that it was pretty specious for an officer to ticket Charles for riding a bicycle without a helmet immediately after Charles had videotaped fredericton police officers beating a guy on the ground.
The incident of the form couldn't be proven to be fraudulant, which doesn't make it not so. The police maintained it was 'an error' that they somehow used the child exploitation form to get the IP address rather than the criminal libel form, which is pretty ludicrous on the face of it.
And even the fredericton police force admitted that they made a mistake in taking Charles computer to read through all his correspondence for a charge which was ultimately dropped.
While I agree that Charles was irresponsible with his comments, the fact is that nobody in their right mind would take such comments seriously, and had Charles the money for a lawyer this case would have turned out far differently. For one thing, Charles comments have ZERO to do with whether the police force infringed on his rights, its interesting that the judge spends more time talking about what HE did rather than what the police did. But its hardly surprising.

David Raymond Amos
@Rick Aubie Thats not exactly true. Best that you confer with the CSE and their Yankee and British cohorts within the Five Eyes. They know a few tricks that would astound the most clever of hackers. I know for a fact that the RCMP and the FBI often partake of their cyber space expertise.
However down here in the Maritmes we have are local clowns like Chucky who think that they are untouchable and are surprised when they push things way past too far. Remember this article by CBC?
http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/new-brunswick/charles-leblanc-fredericton-police-libel-1.3853481
I'm waiting for the next shoe to drop signaling that Chucky has finally been properly arrested and charged under Section 300 and 319 of the Canadian Criminal Code.
For the record I also suspect that the nasty little dude attacking the young lady in Moncton will be cornered in short order.merely because it is politically important to do so.

Too bad that the RCMP and the FBI did not work so diligently when they knew my kids were being harassed on the Internet since 2005 and it obvious malice continues to this very day.

Yup.....just like how the trickle down effect was supposed to take care of the middle class............Laughable
The "Trickle Down Effect" did take care of the middle class. It decimated it.
He won't have to pay. The province has a program for people who don't have the means. I also think the judge is dreaming in technicolor if she thinks you can tame anyone you can't identify. Mr. LeBlanc's case is special in that regard. Trump's been slandering and defaming non stop. How typical is it that try and make examples of poor people who can't make things go away with their money. Court looks foolish here thinking it has more power than it does.
Ray Bungay
But news media like this one, CBC, could do a better job vetting some of its posters to ensure those you still use made up names stop posting or commenting. When this media and others made the policy change I went right away with my real name! CBC as done a great job but other media needs to come on board.
You want to threaten people into silence?
If people are afraid of the ramifications of owning what you post, they should post positive stuff.
Like they say: if you have nothing nice to say, don't say it at all.
When you have all the corruption that's going on, do your really want to silence people? Pointing out corruption is not nice but needs to be done.
...and who are more vindictive than those responsible for the corruption? Would you want them knowing your address?

If you are trying to intimidate me with your rants.think again. -
No you think again Mikey Baby. USE your telephone as I challenged you to do. The simple truth should not intimadate an honest man. It was you who struck my words. If you had bothered to read my so called rants before you ignored them and then asked the world you the Hell I am, you would have noticed I agree with you and in fact know about this crap than you can dream of.

Now stayed tuned to this particular blog and watch Frenchie make it melt. He is the liar not me. He labelled me as a Hells Angel when I ran against the aptly named lawyer Rob Moore in Fundy in 2004. There is no denying that I am a vindictive son of a bitch with a long memory but even you must admit that i am fair. Although both Chucky and Indymedia erased their blogs when I protested their obvious malice, like you they erased everything I attemped to post. Ask yourself why Mikey Baby and the cry me a river again about what Irving is having crammed through your backyard. Guess who saves every word I write or what is said of me to use in litigation? In answer to your question in your own blog. Yes the people in Saint John should sue somebody in order to put a stop to the evil Empires control. Good luck finding a lawyer that ain't afraid of Irvings. You took a picture down as soon as you got a phone call. In my book that makes you a chickenshit. You talk the talk but do not walk the walk. You should have let them sue you in order to meet them in court and make you issues well known and recorded in the public record. I have been begging someone to sue me for years if they think they can prove what I say is untrue because whenever I sue them the corrupt courts meerely see it dismissed and stricken from the record. Look up Byron Prior sometime in Google and then tell me again that you
Obviously you used my phone number now I know yours. Clearly you just pissed me off Lets see you apology ya bastard. -

RE: Securities Fraud and Public Corruption
Sir,
Pursuant to our conversation today please find enclosed exactly the same material sent to the eight other provincial Attorney Generals in Canada before I returned to my native land again this year. Obviously the AGs Brad Green and Tom Marshall have known the truth of my matters since the summer of 2004. They have maliciously ignored my false imprisonment in the USA for their own political benefit. The tapes enclosed are exactly the same copies that were served upon the lawyers acting for Rogers Media byway of their newsman Tom Young today. As you listen to the tape you will hear that I mentioned your Commission on air in Saint John weeks ago. Methinks you should have called me then instead of waiting for me to contact you again today.
The tapes and the CD of wiretap tape #139 are served upon the Commission's lawyers Ms. Ball and Ms. Losier as in confidence as officers of the court in order that my allegations of illegal wiretaps by crooked law enforcement authorities may be finally properly investigated ASAP by ethical law enforcement authorities. Hopefully this will be done before I sue the Crown about my false imprisonment but I am not holding my breath. April 3rd is coming fast. Upon your study of these documents you will see that I have not yet given the Yankee SEC all of my evidence of Securities Fraud. However every Attorney General in Canada has been made well aware of it for quite sometime before the SEC declared it was willing to investigate the actions of the former Minister of Finance Ralph Goodale. To date not one person has responded me nor did me the simple courtesy of returning my calls or emails as you finally did today.
Clearly I must complain of the Crown myself without delay before further harm is done to my Clan. Rest assured I will be calling you, Mr. Hancox and the lawyers within your Commission to testify at a trial of my matters in Federal Court in Fredericton. A very pigheaded yet ethical Maritimer knows that justice has been delayed way past too long for the benefit of public corruption and not the public trust. I will not wait for anyone on public service to act within the scope of their employment anymore. To put it simply, after our conversation today I had no faith that you were willing to do your job.

The next question is does your buddy Vaughn Burnett still have the material that you promised you would serve upon Brad Green in June of 2004 for me? Has he listened to the CD which is a copy of police surveilance tape # 139? I will call hinm and you as witnesses to testify in Federal Court in Fredericton. The wannabe lawyer and you buddy Bernard Richard both admitted to me that they had the evidence before I was falsely imprisoned in the Yankee jail in 2004. So much for etyhical EH?

The person is right. More entertaining the TV, and I mean that as Big Compliment :>) -
As far as blogging goes I do have one but do not post much. Because unlike you I feel that less is moreI do not need a blog I employ other people's blogs and only deal with the issues they raise first then take them down the path of the garden of good and evil just like I did with you years ago when they call me a liar. Check with your associate Mikey. He did not allow even my first comment. Just like your buddies in Indymedia. However they certainly allowed you to slam me. Didn't they Chucky?
Just in case anyone cares about the spelling I am typing quickly because Methinks Chucky will soon erase this stuff just like he always does. However here is my phone number again call me and I will show anyone the proof of what I is true and I will even allow them to listen to a wiretap tape or two. -
Your said the computer didn't work but I know that it did and I brought it all the way from Boston because you were crying poor mouth on the phone. Furthermore I have to witnesses that heard you say you would love to take on Brad Green. the Anglo dude from Minto is one. you the one you call a bigot. I was looking for you in the legislature library to witness me serving the liberal lawyers Burke and Lamrock next door at 710 Queen St when your buddy Dannyboy Bussieres and the Fredericton cops threw me out on June 24th 2004. I was not talking from the gallery as you falsely claim. I have a witness to that fact to . In fact he is a Deputy Minister you was on the floor at the time. the Commisssioners you have befriended made false allegations about me.

Charles? Friends with the commissioners?? That's funny! Sounds like you two guys should be getting along great-two peas in a pod of crazy. Nobody even knows what you guys are talking about.

Mr. David Raymond Amos,
We respectfully invite you to consider a Letter to the Editor, i.e.., How Free Trade undermines Maritime Economic Development. We had heard you make some representation about a U.S. company which truck out Maritime 'wealth', as a result of not having similar .provincial resources rights as Alberta, Many Maritimes would be potentially interested in such an editorial.

Hey Mr. Stokes
Thanks for the suggestion. As you should know the most glaring example of a company that has been raping the Maritimes with abandon for many years is obviously the Irving Empire. However lately there are some very nasty new players on the scene such a PCS and Corridor Resourses etc etc. I am very busy these days and I am not a journalist. You people are though yet it seems you would rather me say the awlful truth than yourselves because of some possible lawsuit EH?
So be it. I will because it is not slander if one's words are true. Perhaps you should consider checking my work and then come to court sometime in order to listen to me argue all the smiling bastards. You can have much of my work in a click of the button of my mouse. But first please allow me to introduce you to the New Brunswick Securities Commission. I got a rather interesting response from them today whilst I was in Fredericton. They have ignored my concerns for almost a year but now that Bernie Lord's government is getting tipsy, it appears all the bad actors want to show me their arse just in time for me to boot it.
It is Securities Commissions such as this that allow many publicly held companies such as Corridor Resources or Magna Entertainment etc to get away with many things rather than remind them of the law and on how they should conduct business in an ethical fashion. That said, these Commisssions have no say whatsoever over the Irving Empire and that is truly bad. It is a privately held corporation that knows very well the power of money and on how to pay off greedy politicians in order to get anything they want. In the nutshell of the Maritimes that is quite simply everything. It seems that I am the only Maritimer who is not afraid of the ghost of mean old KC Irving and his monoply game. It has always been hard times in the Maritimes. We lament about it all the time but our apathy and fear of the Irvings etc gives us the govenments we deserve.
Print this if you wish. You are off the hook that Irving's lawyers threaten ordinary folks with. I am fearless yet never reckless with the truth. I stand by my own words and invite anyone to sue me if they think I am a liar and wish to argue me. I hate it when the chickenshits send crooked cops against me bearing false allegations in a faint hearted effort to shut me up. It does the smiling bastards no good and only serves to make matters worse.

Re: Public Corruption
Sirs,
Pursuant to my many phone calls and email to your offices please find enclosed the material I promised to you before I file my complaints in Federal Court in Fredericton. The CD which is a true copy of wiretap tape number 139 is served upon you all in confidence as officers of the court in order that it may be investigated byway of my suing the Crown.
While Norm Betts and Derek Burney’s buddy Stevey Boy Harper is busy in New Brunswick today trying hard to shore up the shaky government of Jody Carr’s buddy, Bernie Lord with long delayed federal tax dollars. I am polishing off my promises to crooked lawyers in the hope that the very corrupt House crumbles ASAP. If not maybe President Chavez will help me bankrupt the crooks working within NB Power within a crooked government’s blessing. Methinks Tanker will need another lawyer if the one he has now continues to play dumb. Lord paid Allaby a lot of money to study the doings of the Justice Dept a long time ago. He should understand the scene.
Shame on you all for forcing me to go to such lengths to protect my rights under the Charter. Methinks you have underestimated my diligence EH? Now ask yourselves why I don’t sue you after I sue the Crown? I fail to see any reason not to. That is the only way I know of to hold such people as you accountable. Stevey Boy Harper never will even though he talks the talk of such things. Everybody knows what I served upon his party’s lawyer Arthur Hamilton before I was falsely imprisoned in the USA in 2004.
Despite whatever Act our latest Prime Minister wishes to introduce to the Canadian people that he claims will compel our government to act with integrity, he can never deny my right to drag anyone into court. In fact he has done so himself in the past and I am no less of a man than he. Even a simple pigheaded Maritimer has the right to argue the law even with people who think themselves above it. How you all have failed to uphold the law and the public trust placed in your public office is either a matter of public record or soon shall be or my name ain’t Dave. There is no Democracy without Truth and Justice. It is just that simple.
Thats all for now fellas. I look forward to seeing you all in court someday or I will die trying to make it happen in an ethical fashion. It is just another one of those things I do that lawyers fail to appreciate. Ask your friends why that is if you don’t already know.

Hey
Everybody received hard copy in hand to their offices except of course what the UPS dudes are bringing to Paul Shuttle and Andre Arthur. Obviously Yankees ain't as quick as me even when I give them two days head start. I have signatures and pictures to prove that all the New Brunswickers named below got their material today as I promised last week except for the sneaky Conflict of Interest Commmissioner Mr. Patrick who hides behind locked doors. He just sent the Sergeant at Arms who tried to run me off again.
However the Frenchman Danny Boy Bussieres had to accept my material on behalf of the Commissioner and our Queen whom he represents no matter how much he wishes to ban me from the Legislature. He didn't sign anything but what transpired between us was witnessed by a man who was not involved. I gave the crooked Quebecer hard copy in hand. Somebody speaking for the Queen should answer me ASAP. EH? If Danny Boy wishes to attempt to ban me from the Legislature again he really should put it in writng. EH? Perhaps he should clearly state the reasons behind his malice and who is accusing me of what. Otherwise I will ignore him until we meet in court. Then I will have many questions for him on the public record. I repeat, I have never threatened or harassed anyone. The next time he and I meet I hope to have many witnesses watching our exchange of words instead of just one man.The Sergeant at Arms Danny Boy Brouseirres lake most lawyers and politicians is a liar.
I will leave you all to wonder who receives this email next but lets just say I was very correct about my assessment of the Public Utilities Board and the New Brunswick Securoties Commission. corrupt Maritimers act just like crookedYankees. After all most of them are lawyers and their brotherhood practices their malice across borders all day long every day. The thing is can they trust each other when the politiking gets down and dirty. Methinks there is no honour amongst theives no matter how powerful they are. What say you? I know your answer already and that only time will tell the tale to prove what I say is true. Until then I will simply remain a man of my word and hope for justice to prevail. It is your job to uphold the Public Trust not mine.

Well I must say I am not surprised. I am in fact delighted to introduce some folks in the Martimes to the man most responsible for my false imprisonment in the USA. I have been fishing for him to make his usual appearance within a Blog. If one speaks of the devil long enough he is sure to appear. EH Chucky? This crook's name is Deputy Dog Robert F. O'Meara of the Norfolk County sheriffs Dept. A bigger snake in Massachusetts there never was. Right now it is suppertime and I ain't goona let it grow cool worrying about what he may say of me but rest assured I will relish and save every word of it. Stay tuned and I will post many of his words that have been deleted from many other blogs in order to protect him and the crooks who have covered up his many crimes.
At least I have a name EH Deputy Dog? Even on the internet you use girlfriend's Wicked Wanda Willard's ID -
Hey? As long he leaves his view in this little blog and not others? I don't have a problem with the guy.
He's pretty mellow with his words compare to past emails.
Hey? We might have a second Spinks here???...lol -
David is a less of lunatic compared to Chucky.
-
SPINKS??? WHERE ARE YA????
-
Now that I finally see one vote of confidence.It is time to stress Chucky's words to the max. Lets see if this post stands the test of time. I am posting something that only a few politicians have seen. Whereas Chucky's buddy Danny Boy Brussieres had banned me from the Legislature and Chucky did not have the balls to deliver the material to Brad Green I and my son, Max delivered in hand the matereial to both of the following dudes offices in Moncton right after Canada Day and Paul Martin's boat had been caught in Sidney with more coke than coal on board. We then went home to where I was raised in Dorchester Nb and I laughed at the thought of Charles LeBlanc as I drove through his hometown. If he had had the sand to deliver this letter and the material I had given him to Brad when he promised to so. He would be my hero, Bernie Lord's government would have fallen, my adversary Deputy Dog Robert F. O'Meara would have gone to jail instead of me and most importantly my little Clan would be still in their home today. If Brad Green Bernie Lord and Franky Boy McKenna had acted with integrity I would not have to sue the Crown in order to have a fraudulent warrant for my arrest revoked in the USA. Anyone should feel free to print or email the text of this letter with abandon simply because Brad Green answered it. I can email anyone a copy of his response in a tif file. In fact I will email one to Frenchie and Deputy Dog Robert F. O'Meara, Brad Green and his buddies first first. You will know that Chucky got it first and can never play dumb no more. I will forward it on to anyone who asks and they can decide you is crazy and who is not and who is a liar and who is not. My email address is motomaniac_02186 at yahoo.com and my phone number is 506 434 1379 I do not call people collect as Chucky does.

RE: Corruption
Hey Fellas,
Please find enclosed exactly the same material served upon Paul Zed before he met Paul Martin at the airport last weekend. The copy of wiretap tape numbered 139 is served upon you in confidence as officers of the court in order that it may be properly investigated. As you review the material it should be painfully obvious to you why I have no respect for your chosen profession of lawyer/politician. I must say that both Mr. Lord and Mr. McKenna were clever to keep some distance from the recent federal election but I don’t think it was very wise for Mr. Lord to have me expelled from the Legislature Building for political reasons rather than legal reasons.
I have done as the Sargent at Arms ordered on June 24th and stayed away from the Legislature and waited for it to take its summer break so that no more bullshit about me can be said. I have now delivered this material to your constituency office Mr. Lord so that you may deal with this at a personal level with Mr. Green. I will complain of you Mr. Lord and your friends Mr. Green, Mr. Armstrong and Mr. Burke to court along with the Fredericton Police Dept. and the Sargent at Arms if I do not receive a satisfactory response very quickly and convince me of your ethics and stand with me. I have not heard from the Fredericton Police Dept. thus I suspect that Corporal Ross has done as he threatened and thrown this material in the trash for the benefit of his fellow police officer, Mr. LeBlanc.
Mr. Green may I suggest that you study every word and listen to the CD closely and prepare to argue every word if you disagree with the fact that a fellow Canadian has the right to seek justice and relief for the many wrongs practiced against him. What would you do if the Men in Black had appeared at your door and were willing to take you away to Cuba without counsel because of false allegations were made against you in order to stop you from defending your family’s interests? As you can see I have come home to protest these actions in a political and legal fashion. I have done only as the Solicitor General Anne McLellan has suggested and given the evidence to those who claim to have jurisdiction over me. You speak for the Sargent at Arms and the Fredericton Police. They dropped the ball the instant they pulled me outside the building for no reason. They claimed jurisdiction but refused to investigate. I have seen it reported that I had tried to speak from the gallery and the Sargent at Arms falsely claimed that I had attempted to serve someone within the legislature building. Both statements are untrue. I left materials at the door in the custody of the security guard as he requested. I was only looking to find Charles Leblanc in order that he may witness me delivering the enclosed materials to T.J. Burke’s office. This was necessary for me to do because as you know most lawyers are reckless with the truth. I will let your fellow politician/lawyer. Peter McKay, explain to you the reason why that is. However it was no longer necessary to require a witness because the Sargent at Arms and the Fredericton Police had watched me go into 710 Queen St and come out without the material they had just refused after harassing me. They are my witnesses as you are now.
As for you, Mr. McKenna, I expect you and your fellow lawyers at McInnes Cooper to uphold the law and conduct yourselves in a professional manner according to the rules that allow you to practice law for a fee. Don’t you think you should act ethically rather quickly and report your newfound knowledge of crime? At the very least I have made you witnesses to my complaints and rest assured I will be asking you many questions in court if the RCMP doesn’t ask you first. Mr. McKenna, I read your recent speech about how you likened the actions of federal political leaders to various purebred dogs. I must add my two bits worth to your comments. Those fancy dogs don’t hunt like the mangy old mutt that is the guard dog of my little Clan. I don’t bark but I am quick to bite. If you turn around you will see me sniffing at your heels. If any lawyer makes one false move, I make every effort to rip his nuts off. Check my work before you call me a liar.
I have followed the money home to the Maritimes. I find that you and many other liberals have been in pursuit of filthy lucre every bit as much as Mr. Mulroney, Mr. Crosbie and their many cohorts. The Maritime Provinces have suffered the most from the many years of political abuse by greedy lawyers and their bosses. Mr. Harper called Maritimers defeatists but he failed to say who was beating us up. Obviously it was federal politicians on both sides of the fence. The last thing Mr. Martin is to me is noble. In my opinion he is a fine example of a very crooked lawyer aspiring to be an adept politician like his daddy. I view your speech about dogs simply as a little dog licking a big dog’s nuts in a stylish way in order to win the Alfa male’s favor and someday win his position amongst a pack of political thieves. Feel free to argue me after you explain to me real slow how Cardinal Law was legally removed from my complaint and what right the Men in Black had to try to take me away because I am exposing the awful truth about bad acting bankers and Feds. Please don’t pretend that you guys don’t know a few very well heeled Yankees that have helped you along in your own personal pursuit of happiness. Mr. Tobin got a great job working for an interesting Conservative. Eh? Should Belinda listen to Mr. Mulroney and Mr. Harper or to her new CEO? What do you think? How much time do you think I may have left on the planet for asking such questions as this? What do you think may cause my demise? In the end I will rest assured that someday my ghost will be very vindictive against lawyers that failed to uphold the law. At this point in time it would be very easy for some lawyer to act ethically and become the people’s political hero. What say you? Can you trust your legal and political friends to not turncoat and stand with me? Interesting dilemma, eh?

Only the crooks are scared that I am back in the Maritimers. A lot of ordinary folks like me are laughing at how I am poking holes in their stuffed shirts. This letter is wickedly funny, Both Adrienne Clarkson and Herménégilde Chiasson answered this one after my wife and I and a lawyer who wanted Rob Moore's seat in parliament visited the Police Commission in New Brunswick. Bev Harrison would not answer this letter or even return my calles even though he has represented me from my spot on the hill since I landed home last year. His assistants have affirmed to me several times that they received it. I am demanding an answer from Tanker now tha old Bev's assistant Bill Oliver refused to call me back for the last time on Friday. I do not care what the tough talking Danny Boy Bussieres says only the Speaker can authorize the Sergeant at Arms to ban a man from the legislature. Besides that the Governor General his ultimate boss told me I was doing the right thing before I returned to the USA and into Deputy Dog's buddy's jail.

RE: Corruption
Sirs,
Please find enclosed exactly the same material served upon Premier Lord and Frank McKenna on the day after Canada Day and a copy of Brad Green’s response. I have also enclosed a letter to Senator Joe Day that was to be forwarded to the Arar Commission. The copy of wiretap tape numbered 139 is served upon you in confidence as the Queen’s representatives of in order that it may be properly investigated. I ask New Brunswick’s Lieutenant-Governor of, Herménégilde Chiasson to forward this material to the Governor General of Canada. I have already emailed her notice to expect this material and I will email her the text of this letter as well.
Whereas the Legislative Assembly of New Brunswick stands adjourned until Tuesday, December 14, 2004, at 1 o'clock p.m, perhaps you fellas can find a little time to answer me before I sue the Queen in the USA. My questions are as follows: Why did Sergeant-at-Arms, Dan Bussieres and the Fredericton Police Dept. ask me to step outside the Legislature Building and then forever ban me from re-entering the premises on June 24th, 2004? What will you do with your newfound knowledge of crime?
It is only fair that I ask these questions. After all I am a Canadian Citizen and I do have the right to ask any question to those who represent me. Whether they are born to the position or elected or appointed or merely hired, they all must uphold the law and the public trust. The Queen of Canada, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, is the official Head of State and is represented in New Brunswick by the Lieutenant-Governor. Therefore, the Lieutenant-Governor is the nominal Head of State at the provincial level, empowered with the responsibility of representing the Queen in the province. Thus I have asked him the aforesaid questions before I leave the jurisdiction of New Brunswick.
The Ombudsman, Bernard Richard told me to take my matter up the Speaker of the House and thus far Mr. Harrison has ignored my phone calls and emails. Bev Harrison did have the opportunity to ask me any question he wished before he decided not to vote for me. It seems he would rather have the lawyer, Rob Moore speak for him in Parliament. I would not be surprised to learn that Bev Harrison was the same man I had spoken to months ago or that he had attended the debate in Hampton. I have no doubt that Mr Harrison knows exactly who I am and why I was in Fredericton that day. I am not a rebel just because I make inquiries and demand that people in public service uphold the law.
The problem is that on June 24th I was a candidate for the 38th Parliament. I was busy challenging those still in public service such as John Herron to do their jobs and uphold the law. I was merely in the legislative building looking for the Frenchman Charles Leblanc so he could witness me serve this material upon the lawyer, T J Burke next door. I had made certain that many politicians were made well aware of my concerns and allegations before coming home to run for a seat in the next Parliament. The local liberal, Leroy Armstrong was willing to debate me so I was giving this material to his liberal lawyer friends to review. Dan Bussieres offended me for political reasons not legal reasons. The Speaker of the House should not have allowed the Sergeant’s actions or at least responded to my inquiry. These must be irrefutable facts because after almost two months of asking everyone imaginable about the actions of the Sergeant-at-Arms, no one would even tell me his name let alone explain his actions, It appears that the Government of Canada would rather assist corrupt politicians within a country that had rebelled against the Queen than assist one of her subjects to escape their harassment.
I must return to the USA because I have been summoned to court to argue more false allegations made against me. Whereas my country is willing to throw me back into Ashcroft’s clutches, I must complain of the Crown. It seems the Yankees may have been right long ago when they refused to pay taxes without proper representation. Perhaps Canada should follow suit. We all know what has been said about the evils of longstanding governments. What say you sirs? Am I speaking sedition or common sense?
I have heard that Louis Riel once said that the French would take over Canada without firing a shot. Now many of the French wish to separate. Maybe true Canadians can reunite our country in the same fashion. There is no need of the cartridge box as long as we properly employ the soap box and ballot box. The tools of bloodless revolutions are the laws of the land. They are in the hands of people begging us for our vote every so often. Canada does not need to pay homage to a Queen who will not check the work of the people representing her and us. We need a new form of government. I agree with Louis Riel’s thinking when he proclaimed that the Metis were “loyal subjects of Her Majesty the Queen of England’. If we are rebels, we are rebels against the Company that sold us” Although he was labelled a rebel, Louis Riel was a Canadian patriot who did stop Western Canada from being absorbed by the USA. He was also elected to Parliament twice. He would abhor NFTA as much as I. The words in Riel’s diary are well worth heeding.
“O my God! Save me from the misfortune of getting involved with the United States. Let the United States protect us indirectly, spontaneously, through an act of Providence, but not through any commitment or agreement on our part.” Riel stated in his diary this as well: “God revealed to me that the government of the United States is going to become extraordinarily powerful.”

This letter really put Lizzy Weir's panties in a knot. Chucky's buddy Bernie Richard answered me immediately but she never did. When I got out of jail and jumped bail in the USA one year later and started demanding answers from the NDP she was not long taking a job from Bernie Lord and leaving her party in the toilet. Bernie Richard di the same thing years ago to save Lord nasty little minority. The problem is the liberals are no better ask the not so good Dr. Doherty if he wishes to argue me in public about it. In order to argue him and the pretty woman Bernie Lord had his eyes on I tried to run in Bernie's snap election in Saint John Harbour because in my opinion I caused Lizzy to quit and run off. I knew I would never be elected but the decent folks who always voted NDP deserved to know the score and my opinion of the LNG scene is worth listening to. However the not so non partison Anne Hollies and her yo yo underling Paddy Addison illegally refused me for the benefit of Bernie Lord.The Irvings and the Spanish dudes who have lost their popularity in other countries want to put such a dangerous thing right int the damned harbour and the crooked Mayor suppots it? What planet is he from I must ask. People with no names call me crazy. Well in retort I say if the politicians are sane then I am glad I am nuts.
However before they put me away anyone can have this letter and Bernie Richard's very dumb answer. I would not be surprised if this blog turns into a pumpkin by midnight EH Chucky? However if you leave it up I will post sometime a very wicked Cinderella Affadavit by Newfy Johnny Crosbie's law firm of Patterson Palmer that will explain why the liberal President in NB Greg Byrne has now gone solo.

Re: Corruption
Sir and Madam,
Please find enclosed exactly the same material served upon New Brunswick’s Lieutenant-Governor, Hermenegilde Chiasson and many others today. The copy of wiretap tape numbered 139 is served upon you in confidence as officers of the court in order that it may be properly investigated.
There is no need to be long winded with you two people. I can prove contact with each of you and your associates many times. I know that you are expecting this material and why I am providing it to you for your review. Not only will I be mentioning your names today to the Police Commission but your names can be found in various places within my documents. I feel that you are entitled to review the material and I am entitled to expect you to act ethically and with integrity as would befit an officer of the court. What you will do with your newfound knowledge of crime? Please send your response to this letter to the address below. I can no longer linger in New Brunswick and wait for politicians to find the time to uphold the Public Trust.
Cya’ll in Court:)

CERTIFICATE OF SERVICE
I, David R. Amos, of 153 Alvin Ave. Milton, MA. on August 25th, 2004, I delivered the enclosed material to the Office of the Ombudsman, Bernard Richard at 767 Brunswick Street, Fredericton, NB E3B 1H8. Whereas the Provincial office building at 710 Queen St. is no longer assessable to the public, I will provide these documents to Elizabeth Weir’s Constituency Office at 39 King Square North Saint John, NB E2L 1E6 as soon as possible.
David R, Amos -
Some people sent me private emails asking me- Who the hell is that nut???
Well? As I said earlier in the day.
No swearing or smears and everything should be ok.
I can delete this particular blog in seconds but we'll keep it here.
So far so good....
Try to be nice.... -
One no named dude lamented that I go on and on and I admit that that is true. On ther other hand earlier another fella ask for more and lamented that I was too slow posting. Rest assured I know most Maritimers do not give a damn about legal crap or politics. I fit in that boat as well it is just that the smiling bastards attacked me and my little clan and I must defend myself the best way I know how. I figure fire with fire so to speak so I went fiercely political and did not care about being elected. I just wanted to make my issues public for the benefit of my family first and foremost and the awful truth only hurts crooks. Most folks would find this crap boring yet lawyers and politicians like old women are gossips big time. They climb to the top pulling on the balls of others to get there. Trust that many would find this an interesting read. There is a lot to tell after being blocked in most places for years and I am trying hard to stay local to Fredericton only simply because that is the audience the Chucky draws. If the dude don't like to read my stuff click to another of Chucky's mindless blogs and look a pictures that take a long time to look at in dial up.
For ethical lawyers (if there is such athing) benefit here is something that will help explain the news today in a very funny light. McAllister answered me but Miller did not. Miller's (David Hache's too)law firm is merging with the rest of Patterson Palmer's outfit so it appears I have now crossed paths with the same bunch of bastards at least four times in various matters. Merging makes a firm more powerful but it also opens the door to the need to defend the bad actions of your many partners. Everybody knows you can't trust lawyer the that Patterson and palmer in Halifax went with Franky Boy McKenna's buddies i all to funny to me. The dudes in Turo are the only smart ones in the bunch. They said to hell with them all. Maybe I will give then a call. If you cannnot find an honest lawyer your might as well hire the wisest one EH? As i said Byron Priors complaint will prove to the Maritimes why. Look him up on the web or in front of Parliament next week.

RE: Corruption
Sirs,
Please find enclosed exactly the same material served upon New Brunswick’s Lieutenant-Governor Hermenegilde Chiasson and many others. The copy of wiretap tape numbered 139 is served upon you in confidence as officers of the court in order that it may be properly investigated.
Months ago I contacted you, Mr. McAllister by phone and informed you that I wholeheartedly agreed with your standing that Insurance companies were making the consumers cover their losses in the stock market. Brad Green and Premier Lord played Ms. Weir and the Commission like a fiddle and were merely doing their part to assist the interests of the Insurance Companies at the expense of the public trust. Although you were happy to hear that your opinions had been read and understood, you definitely did not want my evidence supporting your claims. Pursuant to my last statement to you, Mr. McAllister I have now proved to you that I am a man of my word and I now expect you to obey the Code of Conduct that you must obey in order to practice law for a fee.
Mr. Miller, the same holds true for you. Within these documents you will find the name of a lawyer you know very well, David Lutz. I find this man to be a very poor example of an officer of the court and I don’t mind telling the world my opinion of him. Please read my letter to him and let me know as to whether or not you stand with him and against me. If anyone were to ask me, Mr. Lutz is a man in need of legal aid and has no right to charge others for his malicious assistance. Will you spring to his defence when I file a complaint against him? Whether you fellas like it or not I have now made you witnesses to my sad complaints before I returned to the USA.
If I survive the malicious prosecution that I am looking forward to in Boston next month, I will return to litigate in New Brunswick. There is no middle ground for any lawyer to stand on in this battle within two corrupt justice systems. All that I have demanded from any lawyer is simple ethical conduct. Why is that too much to ask for?
I have read your various spit and chews with Brad Green and I must admit I find them to be quite comical from my position as a layman in the catbird seat. Rest assured that I will endeavour to make my opinions widely known. Sue me if you wish. In fact I double dog dare ya to. Bring this material to court so that the jury can have something to read while we argue truth, justice and the Maritimes kowtowing to the American Way.
Cya’ll in Court:)

I will ask you many questions in public not private emails about what the hell you know about this crap. Why you lied about me called me names and didn't give Brad Green my material as you promised spoke volumes to me about your integrity. Don't even try to argue me about my manners. I know how to behave myself it is you who does not.

A F F I D A V I T
I, Stephen J. May, of the City of St. John’s, in the Province of Newfoundland and Labrador, Barrister and Solicitor, make oath and say as follows:
THAT I am a Partner in the St. John’s office of PATTERSON PALMER solicitors for William Matthews, the Member of Parliament for Random-Burin-St. George’s in the Parliament of Canada.
THAT Mr. Matthews originally retained Mr. Edward Roberts, Q.C. on or about 30 April 2002 after Mr. Byron Prior, the Defendant/Plaintiff by Counterclaim, had made allegations against Mr. Matthews in a publication called “My Inheritance - The truth - Not Fiction: A Town with a Secret”. In that publication, the allegation was made that Mr. Matthews had had sex with a girl who had been prostituted by her mother. That girl was alleged to have been Mr. Prior’s sister.
THAT upon being retained, Mr. Edward Roberts wrote a letter to Mr. Prior. That letter to Mr. Prior is attached as Exhibit “1" to my Affidavit.
THAT subsequent to Mr. Roberts’ letter to Mr. Prior, Mr. Roberts received a 1 May 2002 e-mail from Mr. Prior. That e-mail is attached as Exhibit “2".
THAT subsequent to Mr. Roberts receipt of the e-mail, Mr. Prior swore an Affidavit acknowledging that what had been said in that publication was false. That Affidavit is attached as Exhibit “3" to my Affidavit. Following Mr. Roberts’ receipt of that Affidavit, Mr. Matthews advised that he was satisfied not to pursue the matter any further and our firm closed our file.
THAT on or about 25 October 2004, I was retained by Mr. Matthews following his gaining knowledge that a web site, made a series of allegations against him relating to my having sex with a girl of approximately 12 years old through to an approximate age of 15 years old. It also accused him of being a father of one of her children and accused him of having raped that girl. Upon checking the web site I saw that Byron Prior, the Defendant, had been identified as the author of the material on the site.
THAT Mr. Matthews instructed me to write Mr. Prior, to remind him of the fact that the allegations had been admitted to being false through a 16 May 2002 Affidavit to advise him of Mr. Matthews’ intentions to commence legal proceedings if the comments were not removed from the web site. A copy of my letter to Mr. Prior is attached as Exhibit “4" to this Affidavit.
THAT I attach as Exhibit “5" a transcript from a 5 November 2004 voicemail left by David Amos, identified in the voicemail as a friend of Mr. Prior.
THAT I attach as Exhibit “6" a portion of a 6 November 2004 e-mail from Mr. Amos.
THAT until I received his voicemail and e-mail, I had never heard of Mr. Amos.
THAT Mr. Amos has continued to send me e-mail since his 5 November e-mail. Including his 6 November 2004 e-mail, I have received a total of 15 e-mails as of 23 January 2005. All do not address Mr. Matthews’ claim or my involvement as Mr. Matthews’ solicitor. I attach as Exhibit “7" a portion of a 12 January 2005 e-mail that Mr. Amos sent to me but originally came to my attention through Ms. Lois Skanes whose firm had received a copy. This e-mail followed the service of the Statement of Claim on 11 January 2005 on Mr. Prior. I also attach as Exhibit “8" a copy of a 19 January 2005 e-mail from Mr. Amos.
THAT I attach as Exhibit “9" a copy of a 22 November 2004 letter addressed to me from Edward Roberts, the Lieutenant Governor of Newfoundland and Labrador covering a 2 September 2004 letter from Mr. Amos addressed to John Crosbie, Edward Roberts, in his capacity as Lieutenant Governor, Danny Williams, in his capacity as Premier of Newfoundland and Labrador, and Brian F. Furey, President of the Law Society of Newfoundland and Labrador. I requested a copy of this letter from Government House after asking Mr. Roberts if he had received any correspondence from Mr. Amos during his previous representation of Mr. Matthews. He advised me that he received a letter since becoming Lieutenant Governor, portions of which involved his representation of Mr. Matthews. Mr. Roberts’ letter also covered his reply to Mr. Amos.
THAT I attach as Exhibit “10" an e-mail from Mr. Amos received on Sunday, 23 January 2005.
THAT I swear this Affidavit in support of the Application to strike Mr. Prior’s counterclaim.
SWORN to before me at
St. John’s, Province of Newfoundland
and Labrador this 24th day of
January, 2005.

Hey Mr. Costello
Need I say I was not impressed by you yesterday. At least you confessed that you knew who I was but so much for a jealous defense of your client’s interests. EH? That said there is no need to send you hard copy of my material. Your associates within McInnes Cooper already have enough to review and confer with you about.
Perhaps you should call the dudes or ladies (: Tell them how I chuck rocks will ya? from Patterson Palmer in Halifax that merged with your firm or better yet Lenny Hoyt and Franky Boy McKenna. In my humble opinion your little buddy Franky Boy as Canadian Ambassador should have tried to stop NB Power’s malicious lawsuit against Venezeula in the USA before it picked up steam. But what do I know. EH? I think the dudes from Venezeula were wise to bring the issues back to the Maritimes and into the Irvings’ lap. I think it was a hoot that they employed your firm to do so. What say you? Whereas you do not wish to speak to me I will speak to these dudes about you, Embassy of Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, 32 Range Rd Ottawa Ontario K1N 8J4, Phone: 613 235-5151 and then send them what I sent Allan Rock Franky Boy Mckenna and the FBI almost one year ago. Perhaps you should call some of your friends mentioned below that I served my stuff upon yesterday after I talked to you and ask them what the Hell I am up to if you don’t already know.

P.S. the following was an interesting article to come out in the local paper just as Humpty Dumpty had the Governor Gerneral drop the Writ on the last election. It certainly seems to me that the Irving’s and Bernie Lord were trying hard to help Stevey Boy Harper’s government and John Wallace get elected in order to protect their own selfish interests. EH? If he won’t tell ya then ask me why Franky Boy does not want to be the liberal leader right now. I Double Dog Dare Ya. As I said in closing yesterday you have my number but maybe the dudes from Venezeula lost it so here it is again 506 434 1379. Your problem is do I want to talk to you now. Whilst I am talking to your clients about your incompetance I will explain to them why I am preparing to sue your whole god damned law firm.

Liberal leader ‘jeopardizing’ NB Power’s chances in lawsuit over failed Orimulsion deal: Tory MLA
New Brunswickers should question whether Liberal Leader Shawn Graham is fighting for them or for Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, says a Tory MLA. Jody Carr, MLA for Oromocto-Gagetown, made the stinging indictment against Mr.Graham Thursday during a heated committee hearing where the Liberal leader took repeated swipes at David Hay, NB Power’s president and chief executive officer, for failing to answer legal questions regarding the utility’s Orimulsion lawsuit. Mr. Graham questioned some of the tactics being advanced by NB Power’s legal staff and demanded to know how much the power corporation budgeted for the legal battle against the Venezuelan government and its state-owned oil company.
Mr. Carr said the Liberal leader crossed the line in Thursday’s committee hearing and could endanger NB Power’s lawsuit. “The issue is complicated and it shows the issue is far over his head to what he can comprehend,” Mr. Carr said in an interview later."He was in effect working on the side of the Venezuelan government by jeopardizing the court proceedings."He was jeopardizing the chances of government and NB Power recouping the $2.2 billion in savings and therefore, in essence, that put him on the other side.” NB Power restarted its lawsuit on Sept. 1, when it filed a statement of claim looking for $2.2 billion in financial damages, which equates to the price difference between purchasing heavy fuel oil to burn at the Coleson Cove Generation Station and Orimulsion, a cheap water-and-bitumen mixture patented by Petroleos de Venezuela, S.A. (PDVSA).
NB Power has hired Stewart McKelvey Stirling Scales to quarterback the lawsuits filed in Fredericton and New York along with Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP to serve as their U.S. counsel. Mr. Hay estimated that the corporation has already spent as much as $600,000 on legal bills relating to the Orimulsion lawsuit.The Liberal leader grew increasingly frustrated when Mr. Hay stonewalled his attempt to get a firm answer on NB Power’s budget for Orimulsion-related legal fees. “For the life of me I can’t understand how it could jeopardize the court proceedings in saying how much we are thinking this court challenge may cost,” Mr. Graham said.Throughout the committee session, Mr. Hay assured the Liberal leader that the power corporation was evaluating the risk-reward ratio at each legal “fork in the road.” Mr. Hay said he cannot disclose any details that could tip the utility’s legal hand considering the Venezuelans are keeping a close eye on the proceedings."We are dealing with people with extremely deep pockets. And if you go to a poker game “... and you say, I have my $1,000 here or whatever it is you are playing with, that gives an advantage to the other side,” Mr. Hay said.
Mr. Carr also accused Mr. Graham of misleading Saint John residents about the Orimulsion costs during the recent byelection campaign in Saint John Harbour. Mr. Carr said he found it disconcerting that Liberal campaign signs said the Conservative government lost $2.2 billion through the bungled Orimulsion fuel deal but now Mr. Graham admits the money was a “potential loss of savings.”

Mr. David Amos,
we talked about 2 years ago. My cell that we talked on is [Boston area code cellphone # snipped]
Much has happened good for me since then.
Are you in Canada, in Parliment, or are you still in the Boston area?
-Steve Erickson
Does this stuff answer your question Stevey Baby? I read what you said of me within your long winded Blogs. I told you the truth years ago and now I will tell you a little bit more. To me you are just another greedy sneaky Yankee now. But to be fair to you I must admit that we have our share of bull___ing bloggers and crooked politicians in the Maritimes as well One of them is a Frenchie named Charlie Leblanc and another named Bernie Lord. Please allow me to introduce them and some of their cohorts to you. Their emails are wittin and his Blog and yours is below. How dare you bastards imply that I am a one percenter in order to promote yourselves.
http://oldmaison.blogspot.com/2006/03/very-first-day-at-new-brunswick.html
This is obvious Bull__ supported by Charlie Leblanc for his old buddy the malevolent Sergreant at Arms Danny Boy Bussieres were talking two years ago. Now that he has lost his trusted staus he files a human rights compalint after he laughed at my false imprisonment in a Yankee jail?

IS ELVY ROBICHAID SEEING THE LIGHT????
by Charles LeBlanc Friday, Jun. 25, 2004 at 10:56 AM
Fredericton
updates from Charles
I got a few late stories that I want to bring up.
They had a protest at the Legislature on Wednesday
and I would say about 400 people showed up. I made my
own little investigation in the crowd and I soon found
out that many people from the Northern Part of the
Province knew about my protest.
These Acadians read about my protest in L’Acadie
Nouvelle! A few weeks earlier, I found out that the
English Population from the Miramichi area didn’t know
about my fight so this shows me that it’s so important
to have the media covering your issues.
During the protest, I felt like I was in a police
state. There were cops are over the place. I
approached three of them and said - My God? We need
violence, bricks going through windows, people being
shot and tear gas!!!
This is the only way that the Government will
listen.
One cop said - If I have to use my gun? I know
exactly where my first bullet is going to go!! Pretty
scary…lol….
Speaking of violence?
That guy from the Sackville area who went to
Toronto with his vehicle full of guns! Very scary
Stuff!!!
What did I tell you people in the past? Someone is
going to crack up one of these days and I know for a
fact the area targeted is going to be the Legislature.
There’s always undercovers cops around but only
when the House is in session.
As God as my witness I hope nothing happens but
it’s just a matter of time till someone is push over
the edge.
I guess a guy name David Amos was shown the door
yesterday at the Legislature. This guy is running as
an Independent candidate in the riding of Fundy Royal.
I met the guy over the net and he has a beef with our
political bureaucrats.
I admire people fighting for what they believe in
but you can’t get carried away. I guess in this case?
He wanted to speak from the Gallery and that’s a big
faux pas! -
After Stevey Boy Harper gets sworn in I will call Washington to see if Spectre got the wiretap tapes and then start forwarding this email everywhere. In an ethical effort to impeach Bush and his lapdog Harper myself.
What did Lamrock, Burke, Murphy, McGuinley and you think of the copy of # 139? Scared the shit out of you EH? Whereas you little local liberal lawyers would not help me unseat Premier Lord and stop Stevey Boy Harper in h9s tracks i will through in the same lawsuits with him. It is hard to get good help these days. The word integrity does not fit in the job discription of a lawyer or a Parliamentian. EH?
The fact that Emerson just crossed the floor and the Dastardly Dave Dingwall story broke yesterday kinda sends your wicked little party down the tubes EH? From my point of view it looks good on you dudes. Say Hey to Franky Boy McKenna for me will ya? I hope to argue you all very soon in court.

To Whom it may concern
I know Petey Baby MacKay don't love me so there is no sense in wasting my dime calling him. Hell he has refused to answer my letters or call me back even after Belinda Baby dumped him, so I do not expect him to do the right thing as Minister of Foreign Affairs other than to accept nasty little Franky Boy McKenna's resignation ASAP. Tell me is Franky Boy entitled to severance pay like his fellow Malawyer ritime buddy Dingwall is? Whereas the liberals Wayne Easter and Landslide Annie refused to protect my dumb arse over the years in their capacity as Solicitor General/Minister of Public Safety. I guess I should be fair and allow it Mr. Day's to try to act ethically on my behalf for a day or so, before I sue the Crown. EH?
Rest assured that I ain't holding my breath waiting for Mr. Day to call me back. Like many of the rest of you Stockwell Day has known of my troubles ever since Harper was elected as his latest boss in 2004 when he sat in the 37th Parliament
In the meantime in answer to Andrew Kyrstal's very dumb question on the radio just now.,methinks I should inform the NHL dudes that are being prosecuted by corrupt Yankees how I can help them.I know Andrew Kystral and all the Rogers dudes never will. What the New Jersey Dudes are up to right now is merely a case of the big bad pot calling a minor little kettle black to me and Andrew Kyrtal knows it too. Just like the Lord Conrad Black versus FitzGerald matter in Chicago everybody is trying to play dumb and it was to funny that Peter C. Newman apologized after I sent his lawyers some of my stuff..
Tell me something honestly if any you can find it in your soul to do so. Do you really think that the Conservatives thought that I didn't notice that Mulroney's right hand man Dereck Burney set up your Cabinet or that Michael Fortier was not a partner in his law firm?

RE: Rampant Public Corruption in Canada and the USA
Hey,
Now that Paul Martin has finally set the date for his confidence vote, methinks its time to pack my bags and head for home. I must raise some serious political hell in the Maritimes before the Commonwealth of Massachusetts does its worst to bankrupt my wife and put my kids on the street before I can expose the rampant public corruption. This is also a very good day to prove within the USA that we are well aware of each other and of my concerns and allegations in order to stress test the integrity of the US Mail. It and the Canada Post have failed me big time in recent years particularly just before the Yankees falsely imprisoned me last year for the benefit of George W. Bush, John Kerry and Paul Martin to name a few. I have no doubt whatsoever each of you dudes know more about me than I do about you. However that does not mean that I have not studied each of you a lot more than the ordinary layman. Just so we are clear, I have no respect for any of you. I know that all of you are as crooked as Chief Mearn, his cops and the lawyers who are coming into our home tomorrow without a warrant. This mail should prove your malice and willingness to support crime and public corruption.
Pursuant to my many emails, phone calls and faxes etc., you will find enclosed as promised exactly the same material I served upon the Solicitor Generals Teddy Olson and landslide Annie McLellan last year before I ran for Parliament last year. The CD of the copy of wiretap tape # 139 is served upon you as officers of the court and FBI Agents in order that it may be properly investigated. Franky got this stuff and more last year. The FBI got even more the year before. Perhaps they should go find the original tapes that the Suffolk County District Attorney and Special Agent in Charge Ken Kaiser have been playing dumb about for far too long. This material was good enough to impeach George W. Bush last year and cause many people to quit or lose their jobs. It is every bit as valuable today and you all know it. Ask the many people whose names can be found within these documents or Franky Boy or Claude Richer, Allan Rock’s lawyer buddy in the RCMP about this stuff before you call me a liar. As you all know I am out of jail on bail pending my upcoming criminal trial in front of a jury of my peers. I have the right to remain silent in the USA. I will employ different rights in Canada and say a lot.
What I choose to say while stumping for a seat in Parliament in Canada is of my concern not yours. If you dudes do your jobs here and I act ethically and legally up home with luck the world will be far better off in short order. I have already checked the rules with the people working for Elections Canada. We agree it is perfectly legal for an innocent man to run for Parliament while being prosecuted with false charges in the wrong jurisdiction and venue in the USA. Everybody knows I can secure my personal freedom quicker in a political forum in Canada rather than argue crooked judges in the USA. They have already imprisoned me on bull**** charges without even reading me my rights or telling me why I was in jail. The crooks are not going to have a sudden fit of ethical behavior now without it becoming a matter of political will. We all know it is high time for a change, the sooner the better for the Maritimes as well as the rest of the world. What better politician to argue with than a right wing lawyer named Rob Moore?
As you all no doubt know I have been talking to many people within the UN and have sent many much of my stuff. You all must have laughed as hard as I did when the Cubans were afraid to talk about my stuff. I must agree with George Bush about one thing. The UN is certainly in need of an overhaul. Yet we all know that nasty dudes like Maurice Strong’s buddy, Paul A. Volcker, the Former North American Chairman of the Trilateral Commission and Karl Rove’s puppet, John Bolton are just going to make matters worse. The same holds true with the turncoat Robert C. Pozen. He now offers advice to Bush on how to fix Social Security simply because I sent him running for cover with my Putnam Investment concerns and the malevolent media control of Global Corporations. Feel free to argue me or act ethically. You choose. I don’t care. Franky Boy knows he is way past too late. I am just rubbing his nose it before I talk a lot about him and his failure to uphold the public trust in our old stomping grounds up home. I can’t help but wonder how he explained his “Harper is a lapdog for Bush” dogma to Karl Rove and his nasty cohorts. I suspect it was an allowed comment from an insider of the Carlyle Group. Don’t you? We all know Stephen Harper would never fit in that group. He is as dumb as a post. All of his successes playing at politicking have just been a matter of luck and playing on the PC and Liberal scandals. Harper is kinda scary to me. He has a truly awful agenda in store for all Canadians like evil old T. Alex Hickman and Johnny Crosbie did for our Newfys.
Sometimes less is more. So in conclusion I will just quote former Inspector General of the DHS Clark Kent Irwin and simply say it would have benefited all if he had taken his own advice way back in November of 2003 when he had an important job.
POGO: “Any advice for your fellow public servants?”
Irwin: “Well, just do your job and let the political chips fall where they may. Unless you’re willing to do that, it seems to me you shouldn’t take the job in the first place.” What say you?

So charlie what papers did he ask you to deliver to brad Green?
And why didn't you complete the task? -
Hey David Amos you complain about Chucky's pictures. He posts many pictures of himself so you fall in love with him. He really likes you.
Chucky really needs you. -
I am impressed with Chucky's newfound sense of ethics the blog still stands this morning. If anyone would like to view the material and listen to a copy of a wiretap tape that Chucky and his buddy Vaughn are so afraid of all they have to do is call me and meet me in public somewhere before I leave Fredericton. I am sitting in town right now and trying to write my first complaint to file in Federal Court ASAP. Here is my cell number again 506 434 1379

Oh ye critics with no names why not pick up the phone tomorrow and call your Ombudsman and Chucky's buddy Bernie Richard mention my name and ask him whether or not he received this email on August 11th, 2004 at 3.11 pm two weeks before he met my family in his office. Then if you grow up and get a name and an emaiul address watch me prove to you I am no friend of Charles Leblanc
Hey Bernard
Thanks for your response though. I didn't believe you on the phone the instant that you tried to make an issue about not receiving the email to Wayne Steeves. I figured that you were covering for Brad Green because that would mean that you knew the CISNB was involved. I laughed when you repeated it in the email. Do you think me dumb?The Fredericton PD guard the legislature correct? Ask Sgt. Kelly or Chief Carlisle if they had jurisdiction over me when they threw me out. The Crown always has jurisdiction over a Canadian citizen particularly when he is on native soil. I figured out it was Dan that threw mw out. He should have taken the stuff in the yard just as soon as he affirmed that he and the cops had jurisdiction over me as he ordered me away from the legislative building. They did watch me go into 710 Queen St to serve TJ Burke and come out without the stuff. They know I did it. Over Two hundred people watched me serve Leroy.Armstrong once he stuck his nose in my affairs. Anne McLellan and Brad Green both suggested that I give this stuff to cops that claim jurisdiction. Go argue Bruce Noble. .I don't need any luck Uncle Franky has been dead for two months even though no one has notified my wife I know it. Watch me turn the worm on the Secret Service, the FBI and the RCMP
There is no way you could have known about Connie Fogal without getting Wayne Steeves' email as well. He should have sent the CISNB out to do their job by now. Obviously that is not the case. Maybe Elizabeth Weir will have more luck making you understand. As for me I simply don't trust you. I will be calling you to court. We can argue about integrity and jurisdiction there. In the mean time perhaps you should go find Leroy Armstrong or T J Burke or Brad Green or Premier Lord or Bruce Noble and ask to see the documents and the copy of the wiretape tape I sent them before I compel you to argue about them with me. There is another fella running around Fredericton with the same stuff. His name is Vaughn Barnett. If the politicians won't talk to you, maybe he will. his number is 457-4559 But he is likely out in the front yard protesting something. I don't trust him either because he and Charles Leblanc are buddies and I know he is a liar.

Vaughn did you get my material as Leblanc claims? You are the third guy he says he gave it to. If not I know I will be the last. I have had enough of him and his funny ways at my expense. He whined and complained that he had no computer so I gave him one. But he failed to even say Thanks. Now the liar wants people to buy him a Bull Horn so he can bother more people with his Bullshit. Well Fredericton has already met a real legal and social activist and i did it all without a whisper or any press coverage. Soon Ottawa will receive the same stuff and much much more before I return to the USA to argue the bastards pulling the strings up here in our old houses. The folks working there seem to care more what language the liars are speaking in rather than what they are actually saying. Charles LeBlanc spoke with a forked tongue when he claimed his Scottish heritage. He made my blood boil and my ancestors bones rattle when he went on and on about his roots. First the frenchy wants his flag on the government houses then he wants to wave it wearing our kilts? I am of the Keith Clan and founded my own. My ancestors were fine and noble warriors. Read their motto on the beer bottle Chucky and tell me if you believe it or not. Rest assured I do. Neither my Septs nor I would accept such a man as Charles Leblanc as a trusted friend.
-
David,
Yes, Charles gave me the material - although I must admit that I was not able to make much sense of it. Because of that, and because it appears to be out of my area of expertise, I doubt that I can help you very much. Also, unfortunately, your clash with Charles, and your low opinion of him (which I feel is unwarranted) has created a conflict of interests, as Charles is a friend of mine and a fellow activist. Since I doubt I can assist you much anyway, perhaps that doesn't matter. In any event, good luck with your cause.
Vaughn -
Chucky finally met his match in David Amos. Chucky deserves it. He messes with good people. Someone is speaking out.
-
I must admit that you have lots of guts to condenm me in my blog site.
Anyway? I tried to read those papers and I can honestly say that I don't uderstand what your battle is all about?
I never told you that I would give those papers to any MLA's. Why the hell do I want to be involded in your issues anyway.
I got enough on my own plate.
Ok...you got a little blog because a good supporter of this blog asked me to let you post your views.
Don't blow it!!!!
Is you wish to smear and used bad words? I'll delete the whole blog.
Try to be nice. Not too many websites allowso you to post your views so be nice in here.....
Watch the language....is not??? Well? Why don't you start a new blog????
Is easy to do.....
I really don't understand your point of view.
All the activists are trying to bring important issues to the public and you wish to condenm the same people.
Why burn all those bridges?
Oh well c'est la vie..... -
Lets get this straight Chucky so there is no misunderstanding. You only allowed my words to stand this time around because other people read them and asked you to? Hmmm some ethics EH?
As for guts not only is my belly bigger than you my balls are as big as basketballs compared to yours. I ain't afraid of Count Peter Hans Klovenbach so why would I be afraid of you? You and your wannbe lawyer friend know full well I have been trying to impeach George W. Bush byway of the courts since 2002. Long before that nonsense in Iraq began. You hate me because if you had even glanced at the papers you just confessed you read then you know I sued Cardinal Law and caused him to quit his job on Dec 13th, 2002. It had nothing to do with child abuse like the media claims. It was merely filthy lucre that is all. Well my wife's cousin the exbanker turned priest Robert T. Kickham is still around around and cooking the books for the brand new Cardinal in Beantown. You know the dude in named O'Malley.
Furthmore Chucky you offer no argument to anything I state other than lie about not promising to serve Brad Green or falsely claiming that the computer I gave you was no good? The best you can is make jokes or critize my choice of words whilst I point out your serious lack of integrity?
In my law books it is not illegal to have poor manners or use the words I have employed thus far(as of yet anyway) I believe it falls under something that can be found in the Charter
However to slander someone and tell ouright lies about them for one's own gain is more than offensive. I have been falsely imprisoned because of the perjury of people like you who choose to support public corruption for their own gain. Methinks I should seek relief in court in fredericton particularly when I can prove it. Furthermore you know you have told several lies within the very blog.
I will wager if I posted something that you can never refute this blog will evporate immediately. Perhaps I should seal its fate and let your friends wonder why you erased me so quickly after I busted you in front of everybody. Never fear though I saved this blog in its entirety already. However you really should check you email and press print on the tif file that I just sent you and yoy hard copy of the proof that I keep wonderful records. Some of your buddies and adversaries may be reading it already. At the end of the day you may realize that I just may turn out to be the honest man that you ever met. -
I give up....I'm just going to continue bloggling away.....Bonne Chance...

Don't you think you should hire a lawyer too? That last email was hell in a hand basket wasn't it? Why not call Cleveland Allaby (your know Tanker's lawyer) he hates both Bernie Lord and me but he won't demand any sort of apology from me. Hell he won't even whisper my name. Just maybe Cleveland Allaby will help Vaughn and you to understand my material and then ask you two dudes why you didn't call the RCMP years ago. Yea I know I am pipe dreaming. Honest cops and lawyers don't exist. That is pure Hollywood all the way and a long long way from the Maritimes EH? Ask my Newfy buddy Byron Prior how bad things really are around here.

Subject: Fwd: Sue me Eddy Baby I double Dog Dare Ya I telling Lord Black on you
Everybody loves a mystery. A lot of folks were no doubt wondering why the big talking old fart named Petey Newman apologized to Lord Conrad Black not long after he and Mikey Levine laughed off his lawsuit at the big party in Toronto. Didn't it seem strange to anyone that the Tory's law firm wrote the crooked old Lord a fat cheque as well? It seems that the Torys, a dude named Mr. Moate, Levine, Greenspan, Newman and I may be the only ones to know the true reason why and I am the only one who will tell the tale. Here is your clue see if you can figure it out. I know of two Maritimers who will never have a hope in hell of figuring it out because they do not have two clues between them and if the did they would not know what to do with them. One dude everybody calls Tanker and the other I call Frenchie. They know who they are do you

Bingo You Mr. Cleveland Allaby win the cake baked by Bernie Lord.
Cya'll in Court . Thanks for finally responding to me. Your timing is perfect. One hour before or so before the 39th Parliament begins and just in time before I polish off my first complaint to file in Federal court in Fredericton. Was it done so quickly after I blogged my letter to you in Chucky LeBlanc's web page? Did the gossip about my blogging in his website reach you first thing this morning? In my book you are as dumb as the Frenchie is. Wise or dumb I will call you as a witness to testify in Federal Court before I get around to suing you. Perhaps your lawyer and I should talk now. Hostile or not you will make an important witness not only on because of your lawsuits concernining Native Aboriginal matters (Remember Barry Bachrach represents me in the USA right now) but more importantly because Bernie Lord paid you a lot of money years ago to study the Justice Dept. (Wasn't it 112,000 grand or so?)
Obviously Cleveland you are no wiser than Eddy Greenspan. Clearly you think your status as a well known lawyer allows you not only to ignore and not uphold the law but break it if you wish. Should you have contacted the RCMP as soon as you listened the the CD I provided you with. Guess what I told them you got it already. My next calls are to the General Counsel of the SIRC and the old lawyer who represent the following folks. He has played dumb with me for way past to long.

Cleveland did you really think your email will scare me off? Look how fast I bounced it back and forwarded it to many others. When a man has been diligently attempting to impeach George W. Bush for over three years despite the attacks from crooked Feds etc nothing scares him anymore. A threat of litigation coming from the email box of a lawyer into mine is like manna from heaven to me. Didn't I slam Eddy Greenspan the same way? Man you are dumb if you though that I would not do the same thing with you. You just proved for me that every body else got my email and hard copy too. you asgin the same question I asked you on February 23rd. Whois your god damned lawyer maybe I know him already. If not tell him he has a fool for a client. Will ya?
Tell me honestly, Cleveland if you can find it in your your soul to do so. Why Didn't you sue Bernie Lord as you threatened to do particularly after you and I talked the day before I gave my material to your buddy Tom Young and the New Brunswick Securities Commission? I heard of no apology from him and I laughed when I saw Tanker being trundled down to the Speakers chair arm in arm with two crooks. I figured another backroom deal went down and Tanker needed a smarter lawyer because I had heard nothing from you and I made certain that you knew the score with Hard Copy of my material before that shit went down. Something definitely smells rotten in New Brunswick EH?

It takes time.....
All I'm asking is that you try to be nice and don't

Just try to be nice.....
Lets try to spread our message in a nice way!
What do you think??? -
What, specifically, are all these people being sued for? You rant and rave and nobody can make heads or tails out of what you are talking about.
We know you ran for office. We know that you try to impeach Bush (and anybody who does that certainly gets good marks from me!) We know that for some reason they held you in jail? Is that correct?
I'm assuming its under the new terrorism laws, since you say they wouldn't let you see evidence. That also is not surprising the way the US is functioning.
But what are all the lawsuits about? There is something about wiretap evidence that for some reason you are sending to canadian politicians and lawyers..why is that?
What exactly are all these law firms doing? If they are crooked, then specifically what evidence do you have? That lawyers are crooks also doesn't surprise most people, I"m mostly surprised we continue to elect so many of them.
But if you could explain point by point what the grievances are against these people, then people may understand. Perhaps you don't care and just want to let off steam, that's fine too, that's what blogs are for. However, many people would like to know what you are suing these people for? -
Good day to ye with no name. thanks for the question. Methinks by your questions you must be Vaughn.I stated the reason for my first lawsuit clearly live on CTV news to that Murphy character at suppertime just before I was allowed to debate Andy Scot in Oromocto.
My first lawsuit will be to seek relief for the offense against my rights under the Charter because I was falsely imprisoned without being charged, held without bail and it was all done without even being read my rights. Then I was denied my right to a trial after met the Canadian Consulate in jailand came screaming out. I had tried to remove the matter to the proper jurisdiction and venue in order to prove the malicious prosecution to no avail. the bastarsds in the USA will never give a jury of my peers and Federal Court in Canada does not employ a jury. Thus I must make my issues well known locally before I file so that the Judges will not dismiss my complaints so easily as they have done in the past. Give me a call if you are not Vaughn and I will meet you show you the evidence.
Veritas Vincit
David Raymond Amos
P.S. My next posting is quite a rant. I explain things in greater detail to say the least but my manners are slipping fast. It will be the maximum stress test of Chucky's newfound sense of ethics. -
So you are suing the canadian government for being held in jail in the US? Is that right, or were you held in Canada? How does that even work?
Why go on a lengthy rant to 'test' Charles? Take a break if your manners are slipping. Having your messages deleted on the last place your story can be told hardly seems helpful.
"Then I was denied my right to a trial after met the Canadian Consulate in jailand came screaming out"
That makes no sense whatsoever. People don't need long rants, they need clarity. You are suing the canadian government because they refused to help you while in US custody, is that correct? -
Bingo. Vaughn
-
Wouldn't it be funny if you are not Vaughn but actually Clevelans Allaby or Bras Green or Jeff Mockler or beter yet David Lutz or Vaughn's buddy Brucy Baby Noble. that can't be though because Vaughn must be Chucky's only legal minded friend
-
I am typing to fast because I am upt to something far more important right now involving J. Division. Mean old Zach's old stomping grounds.
-
You know what? I am am gonna take you advice and take a break from Chucky's little sideshow and go downtown to see what condition my condition is in Fredericton. I will be the ugly guy grinning and smoking a lot but not saying a damned think. From now on i want everything i say recorded. One must do such things when one sues the Crown.
EH Vaughn? -
Well, that makes some sense anyway. So how are these New Brunswick lawyers involved? Are you saying that none of them will represent you or what? You are sending them this wiretap evidence for what reason? If it's federal court why are you even in New Brunswick, all the lawyers in this province are idiots and irving lackeys. Why not go to Toronto where there are at least some civil liberties lawyers.
The trouble is, I don't know of any legal grounds that 'forces' the canadian government to intervene in a foreign country's legal system. If somebody plants coke on you in columbia and you get caught, then plead with canada to help you out, you'll be out of luck.
Under the charter canadians have fewer rights than americans. Our 'terror laws' are the mirror image of the US's, but never even had moranda rights or anything ike that. In Canada, you are simply f&&&&& if you cross the state, as any native, environmentalist, protestor, or civil rights attorney will tell you.
I don't know of a single case where somebody successfully sued, even David Milgaard was given a settlement since it was dragging out so long. Natives have tried suing for years.
However, it's easy to talk from the outside. But if Ernst Zundel couldn't sue for being held for almost a decade with no charges against him in Canada, I don't see how far a lawsuit against Canada for not intervening in a foreign country will go. -
Civil rights? Where do you think you ar?? Lok at th e blog. A woman can't panhandel to make life a little bettre. Boarding house residents can't do anything. This was a joke, but if that owner wanted to, he could toss Charles for just that reason. Hell, owners could show up at their apartments and tell them they want a blowjob, any body who said no would be told to get out. Welcome to New Brunswick.
-
I am back in more ways than one.
It is half past quitting time and all the corrupt politicians are out getting drunk or laid or both. Tis time for bloggers to come out and play maybe with luck what the smiling bastards read in the morning will give a few of them a stroke and Lord can call some more snap by elections EH?
"Welcome to New Brunswick?" Jeez I was born and raised here i have lived here for over forty years of my life. I am older than Chucky and lived just down the road from where he was brought up in Dorchester NB. I went to High School and UNB in Fredericton when most of the snots that are screwing us did. Why do you think I am so pissed off? You don't think I know the score. If someone claims that I am a Yankee again I think I may hunt them down. If because a man lives somewhere else for awhile makes him a man of that place then how come a Newfy is always a Newfy everywhere he goes.
Here is a God's moment for Chucky:
Wht did God tell the Newfys?
Play dumb til I get back Will ya?
that joke seems to hold true here to. since I left the room nothing further was said. How come. cat got you tongue chucky or could it be the emails I sent ya?
Love and Kisses

Can ya tell I am fishing?
If you speak of the devil he is sure to appear particularly when you jerk his chain and piss him off.
Dave again -
Nobody called you a yankee, but starting threatening people is sure to get you deleted, as well as guaranteeing no court in the country will give you the time of day except to prosecute. As was said, there is virtually zero chance of suing the government for your claim. At least Charles is being constructive and taking it to the human rights people and doing his part to get more rights for new brunswickers. But good luck getting to court.
-
I see that you are watching Vaughn. Spoken just like a lawyer you wish to be. "Hunt you down" is an expression. But it brought you out of the woods didn't it. Perhaps you should read your next email real slow. Before I go I must ask you are you trying to intimadate me by making false allegations against me?
Love and Kisses
Dave
(hows that for nice Chucky?) -
"As was said, there is virtually zero chance of suing the government for your claim."
Hmm maybe I will ask Vaughn under oath in court someday why he has formed that opinion of my pending lawsuit. Clearly he knows more of my matters than what I or Chucky have given him. I am still human don't you know. Fredericton does not have the only courts in this old World. I except them crooked judges here to try hard to dismiss my matters. Why to you think I am raising hell first. If anyone should understand what I am up to it is an actvist.
Love and Kisses
Dave -
You certainly ain't Bruce Noble because he represents the Fredericton PD if you choose to send them to hassle me. He already know I have a few bones to pick with him in court. I would welcome more false charges. Here is the obvious question. Are you Chucky's buddy Vaughn or are you not? If not who are you?
Love and Kisses
Dave -
Thirty minutes have passed and still no comment. Come on now the email was not all that long Vaughn.
Love and Kisses
Dave -
I have noticed that Chucky hit counter has picked up a little speed. His count is starting to appraoch Byron Prior's website. Here it is if anybody cares. I know I do. Byron is human too and he has been far more offended than Chucky ever was.
http://maxpages.com/sexualabuse
I was bored waiting and check to see if it clicked over a big milestone for him.
80 grand was how many viewers he had when the MP Billy Matthews intmadted him into taking it down.
Chucky is appraoching that number for the first time. this is Byron second kick at the can of worms of injustice.
Love and Kisses
Dave -
Tick tick tick Methinks when the count get to 100 I will evict myself before I get the bum's rush. It is getting kinda boring here anyway. I wil just safe the posts and go about my evening knowing nobody will miss me here.
Hell I was even being kinda sorta nice:)
Love and Kisses
Dave -
Your silence is deafening Vaughn i must be coorect at you or are you to busy trying to revive Chucky with mouth to mouth. Did I give you two too much information in the last email and it overloaded you little minds? What gives Chuckys other blogs barely have any comments at all he can't be that busy. I will leave the comment after 99 for Chucky to fill in or delete. He always likes to have the last word. EH? I will post this look for a comment and then be gone to leave you to wonder when and where we will cross paths again.
Love and Kisses
Dave -
Now I don't even make sense to myself. I will consider myself evicted and save the blog in its entirety to argue about later.
Cya'll in court or in Hell.

David Raymond Amos -
I don't know who Vaughn is, I was interested in the story because I couldn't decide whether you were crazy or just very angry. I still don't know.
I know there are constructive uses for anger, Charles has accomplished quite a bit with his. I'd hate to see ANYBODY spend all that time and energy in a fruitless cause such as trying to sue the government. The mention of being an 'activist' was heartening. Charles has been an activist and he and Tim Smith have almost single handedly got the rights of tenants on the map, and soon an injustice there 'may' be rectified, one that is a hundred years overdue.
Yet he and Tim accomplished it in less than two months, albeit with the help of a byelection.
Being imprisoned in the states is no crime in my book, their entire federal system is an illegal entity. Manlin Chee has been a public defender for over twenty years, won many awards, and now sits in jail because she sat on a panel that argued against the patriot act. While Canada isn't MUCH better, it is SOME better.
But like I said, the courts will give no recourse, as the courts have clearly stated that Canada's own terrorist act does not infringe on civil liberties. Anybody who thinks highly of civil liberties in Canada just needs to remember Oka, or Quebec, where thousands of french were rounded up without charge just so Trudeau could pretend to be macho.
There are lots of organizations that are attacking these things, and personally I think its a shame that those who have virtually identical claims against the government can't seem to get along. If there were a dozen Charles Leblanc's in the province we could literally turn the province upside down. YOu seem to have the passion, but maybe a little too much, as often you are incomprehensible. That's unfortunate because those who are victims of the aggression of the state are those whose stories most deserve to be heard.
Just a recommendation, but when you mentioned all those lawyers then you definitely got my interest. These guys work in a shroud of secrecy and somebody with the guts to air their dirty laundry would definitely accomplish more good with political activism than with lawsuits. Courts were designed to put undesirables in jail, not mete out justice. Hell, New Brunswick doesn't even allow class action lawsuits!
I don't always agree with Charles, and often his views and how he states them make me cringe, but I'm glad that he does what he does, and NB is a province that NEEDS more 'activism'. I'd just suggest doing it in a way that's guaranteed to get the most results. But that's just my opinion-not Vaughns. -
What planet in cyber space are you from oh yet with noname who claims not to be Vaughn? The first thing you should do when you touch down on mother earth is get a name. Then learn to read BEFORE you write. I ain't no god damned activist. GET IT? However I am a very fierce political animal. GET IT? I am just a very pissed off Maritimer with way bigger balls than you.
Some activist you are with only half a mind to say something like this to me. Go to jail sometime in Yankee Doodleland and then come back home and tell me that crap again.
"Being imprisoned in the states is no crime in my book,"
After you figure out the nonsense that you just wrote in support of a liar. Why not get an email account and a telephone too and learn how to use them BEFORE you attack a man who understands more about what you are yapping about than you could ever dream. I have no doubt that you are clever and you may be well on your way to being just another lawyer but you cannot learn to be ethical in any law school. You must be born with the genes. It seems that you and Chucky are a couple bricks shy of that load.
On the other hand in reading some of your words about what Chucky has done I think you may be the political science student at the homeless shelter that the lady that was on Tom Young's show spoke of when I called her afterwards. Either way I don't care. i don't want to know you.
Ask you buddy Chucky sometime to share his emails from me with you if you are truly are not his buddy Vaughn. Better yet go on a mission with your mouse and go through Chuckys many blogs and figure out who he is for yourself. Then ask Vaughn if you can view the hard copy of the material he admited having BEFORE I was falsely imprisoned in 2004. Activists have a lot to learn about listening to folks before there is trouble. It seems they allow things to happen just so they can protest about it later. I was challenging the FBI etc and arguing crooked US Attorneys about other matters in Federal Court in Boston months before that nonsense in Iraq began. whereas you seem to have a love of lucre Vaughn should tell ya that in two matters I was awarded judgements by default for 32 million bucks and I laughed and told them to shove it up their arse because the judgement came from the wrong court. It is all about jurisdiction venue and justice. I cannot demand integrity of others without proving my own first. When the crooked lawyers filed motions to remove the defaults and file their answers late I did not oppose them. It so shocked the hell out of the Yankee bastards they were not long sending the Secret Service to try to take a man away who would rather argue the awful truth than take a pay off.
In my book false imprisonment is definite illegal and when I look at your writing and Chuckys I cannot forget what I was taught. There are NO degrees of honesty either you are or your are NOT. Go kiss Chucky good night. Will ya? I have had enough of both of you oh ye who may be Vaughn. I so not feel sorry that I do not believe you.(Damned for a little Damned for at lot)

David Raymond Amos -
One last ting before I sign off that I forgot to say. Yankee lawyers swear an oath before the Bar before they are allowed to practice law for a fee. Part of it goes something like this. "I will not delay or deny any man for lucre or malice" the politicians and lawyers I am arguing ignore their oath for lucre which far easier to understand than the malice you and Chucky wish against me. i tried to help Chucky and even gave him a computer because he whined that he did not have one. The only thing I asked in return was for him to go to Brad Green's office and give him a pile of documents and one CD in an unsealed envelope so that every one could see that there was nothing harmful inside.The liar claimed many things and slammed me six ways to Sunday while blocking my protests. I was getting even on April fools and draging him into a place where most lawyer fear to go. An ethical argument in public view. Like Tom Young on the radio he keep threatening to press the delete button when things were not going his way. Charles Leblanc is all about Charles LeBlanc no less no more.

Please notice that Brian Mulroney's buddies buried their heads in the sand and had shown me their arse once I had busted their boss in front of his friends. Meanwhile all the fellas under Bell Canada's wing are all still playing dumb, even though everybody knows Obama is scum. Just like his adversaries, Mulroney's chums. To top it all off Frontline knows absolutely every goddamned thing since the time I was running for Parliament. I am not smart enough to make this up and it is too funny not to share. But first I must give it to the French fellas at Quebecor byway of Bill Gates because that is the kind of guy that I am. Somebody has to make Mulroney pay for his sins. :)Message from yahoo.com.

Brian Mulroney
c/o Luc Lavoie
Executive Vice President, Corporate Affairs
Quebecor Media Inc.
(514) 380-1974
(514) 236-8742 (cell)
Hey,
I just called Luc Lavoie's office and left a message but not my phone
number. From now on I want hard copy. Lets just say Mulroney should have
done the Right and Honourable thing a long time ago, particularly as soon as
I notified the lawyers working at Cendant Corporation. I served them once in
person and once by confiremd US Mail. Maybe Belinda should have had him call
me when I contacted her. I know I am the reason he did not speak at the
Conservative leadership convention. I also know Mulroney, Arthur Hamiliton
and John Crosbie were likely some the lawyers who advised Harper to shut up
about what he knew about the Arar Commission.
I had a great laugh to see the spit and chew between Senator Kerry and
Mulroney but I also know that Mulroney is the reason that Forbes and Sun
Media has not reported my doings with the SEC in the USA or even my of run
for Parliament. Ain't it funny how everyone said Fundy was a riding to watch
but no one whispered my name. I know I do not have to be redundant and
send the same documents and wiretap tape to you that I sent to Mulroney and
his many associates long ago before I complain of all the various companies
and lawyesr he is in bed with. Title 18 in the USA will make all the lawyers
fall on their own sword. Hell even you guys claim the merits of the internet
and email is just as efective as the US Mail in the litigation process. Ask
Frank Quatronne or Martha Stewart about that before you disagree. Bill
Gates' lawyer offered no comment so I sent that bastard US Mail just to rub
it in. IF you think I am pissed off you are right. Brian Mulroney could have
easily stopped the distruction of my Clan's beloved Beach House but he would
rather have stood with his corrupt friends than me. Or is it simpler than
that? Did Mulroney just want his peice of the action in the fraudulent Real
Estate transaction by Coldwell Bankers because he thought I had no hope of
stopping it myself? We all know how Mulroney loves money. Airplane deals
proved that.
What say you J. Serge Sasseville do you stand with your boss and his
peers or me? I know Lavoie will hang with Mulroney until the bitter end.
Perhaps you may wish to confer with Martine Turcotte or Robert C. Pozen,
they have just received the most recent hard copy of material. Proof of my
contact with Mulroney can be found within the stuff if perchance he tries to
call me a liar. There is still time for you three folks to act in a ethical
manner and uphold the law according to the Rules of Professional Conduct.
After Sept 3rd your are too late. that is the day Massachusetts Trail Court
tries to call me a criminal and I demand a jury of my peers.
This is not an offer to settle before I file my complaints. That came
along ago to Mulroney and his buddies. Now I look forward to arguing the
bastard or any lawyer he chooses to send against me. I had offered to settle
with BCE before I complained of them but the deal was off the instant they
tried to puill a fast one in an effort to delay me in the hope no doubt that
some bad acting Yankee might put a stop to me when I return to the USA.
Their silence since has spoken volumes. Martine should have contacted me the
instant ATV got the hard copy like i told her they would. I will forward you
some of our email exhange so that we may all get to know each other quite
well. these emails will be forwarded to many others but I ain't telling you
who. My next emails come byway of Yahoo as a double check in case you choose
to block me.
Say hey to Mulroney for me and I will try to say hey to Kerry for you.
Maybe Ms. Turcotte will share with you what she knows about Kerry and
Mulroney will tell her what he knows about William Cohen and why he quit
Cendant Corp so fast. Maybe Joe Day will tell you about Barack Obama and me.
I am about to tell Obama about Day. Turn about is fair play. Obama used my
stuff against Senators Edwards and Kerry to become a big wig in Beantown
last month. I can use a Senator from Canada to take the wind out of his
sails the following month. An Alliance dude once called Sun Media a bunch of
scumbags. I would have to agree and laugh because it was a case of the pot
calling the kettle black.
Cya'll in Court :)

Subject: My turn to tell a tale.I think is time to let a little something out of the bag for the benefit of a few Maritimers who think they know something about the Media.I did notify CBC, the Rogers crowd and Harry Steele's folks that I knew a little bit about the Media and that I had written a book about it. Problem is I need an editor and I believe I may have found one.He comes in the form of a disenchanted newspaper man. But the thing is I want to put it on the web for all to read for free so there is no money in it for him. So I guess I wiil sue some big company with a Prima Facia complaint and settle for a lesser amount out of court. Lets just say I am looking hard at you dudes. I had zeroed in on the Yankee media long ago and I am certain folks within the Ottawa Citizen and Democracy Watch had checked my work(Hey Duff say hey to Dan for me) I have crossed paths with many of Globemedia's people many times for many reasons and I can easily prove it. What I haven't bothered to tell them that I knew the reason Gobal etc never mentioned me was Frank McKenna and the Irving influence because basically that was a no brainer anyway. However If Globemedia and all their cohorts didn't think I knew about the influence Robert Pozen in Boston, you had best think again. then give Mr. Spitzer, Mr. Galvin, Mr. Shelby and Mr. Donaldson a call and drop my name along with Mr. Nesters and Mr. Koski's and tell them my stuff is off to the Arar Commission I am heading back to the USA to call Mr. Pozen and many folks he calls friends to court. Perhaps in Ottawa Bill Rowe will truly speak for the common man after all if the worm turns on his buddies. How do you people sleep at night? What say you? Why not get honest with the world and I will settle cheap? I will give one of your lawyers something real soon before I serve Mr. Pozen his just due byway of this lawyer Jeffrey N Carp MFS Investment Management

MFS set to agree to second settlement
By SINCLAIR STEWART00:00 EST Wednesday, March 31, 2004By SINCLAIR STEWART00:00 EST Wednesday, March 31, 2004Sun Life Financial Inc.'s Boston-based mutual fund arm will agree to a $50-million (U.S.) settlement today with U.S. regulators over allegations the firm directed trading commissions to brokerages in exchange for preferential treatment, according to people familiar with the matter.Sources said Massachusetts Financial Services Co. will announce a deal with the Securities and Exchange Commission this morning that will also include "compliance reforms," in addition to a token $1 disgorgement penalty.Eric Morse, a spokesman for MFS, declined to comment. A spokesman for the SEC refused to discuss any talks with the firm.The embattled fund company is hoping this settlement will enable it to move beyond the intense public and regulatory scrutiny it has endured in the past several months.In early February, MFS agreed to a $350-million settlement with the SEC and New York State Attorney-General Eliot Spitzer for allegedly permitting improper trades in some of its bigger funds. That figure included $225-million in penalties and restitution to investors, along with $125-million in fee reductions spread out over the next five years.The fallout within MFS, which manages about $140-billion in assets, was also considerable. Its two highest-ranking officials -- chief executive officer John Ballen and president Kevin Parke -- were each fined and slapped with temporary suspensions by the SEC, leading to their departures from the firm. Long-serving chairman Jeffrey Shames also retired in the aftermath of MFS's problems, and was replaced by Robert Pozen, formerly a senior executive at Fidelity Investments and onetime associate general counsel at the SEC.Mr. Pozen has been charged with cleaning up the mess, and tightening the firm's internal controls.He has already hired new legal and compliance officers, added monitoring staff, and imposed a ban on so-called "soft dollar" transactions. The firm also prohibited the practice of directing trading fees to brokerages in exchange for being placed on a preferred list of customers and receiving better visibility for its funds.This latter arrangement, known in industry circles as "pay for play," is at the centre of MFS's pending settlement with the SEC. Sources said the current settlement talks advanced fairly quickly because of the voluntary compliance improvements MFS has undertaken.In a recent interview with The Globe and Mail, Mr. Pozen attacked the basis of the regulator's case as "very weak" and said it should have raised this as a problem when it conducted audits of the company.Nevertheless, he said he hoped to settle the matter quickly, in large part to avoid a costly legal battle and prevent nervous investors from pulling their money out of MFS funds. So far, the damage has been contained to one major client, the Illinois Teachers Retirement System, which fired MFS last month as lead manager on a $664-million portfolio.The SEC is investigating about a dozen other fund companies for directed brokerage, although sources say MFS will settle individually, rather than as part of a group.Last fall, brokerage powerhouse Morgan Stanley agreed to pay $50-million to settle charges it failed to tell investors it was promoting funds with which the firm had a special arrangement. Morgan Stanley had a "Partners Program" of 14 funds, including MFS, that paid "substantial" fees in return for the brokerage steering their funds to investors, the SEC claimed.The regulator indicated a few months ago it would begin investigating a number of fund companies for directing commissions, but did not say which firms it would target.Sun Life revealed in a filing that MFS was under investigation for this practice just a couple of weeks after its first settlement with the SEC and Mr. Spitzer. The news came as a surprise to most observers, some of whom criticized the insurer's CEO, Donald Stewart, for not disclosing this probe earlier.MFS is hoping to recoup some of the $175-million it must repay investors under the terms of the first settlement by suing firms and individuals that engaged in market timing and late trading of its funds. Market timing involves making frequent trades in and out of funds in order to cash in on minor pricing discrepancies. It is not illegal, but is usually prohibited by many fund companies, since the quick trading can raise administrative costs and undermine returns to investors.----- Original Message -----From: R. S.

Subject: possble storyI am a Canadian Citizen who thus far, as a plaintiff, has two Lawsuits in the US District Court of Massachucetts they are numbered 02-11686- RGS and 02-11687-RGS. They were removed to that Court from the Norfolk Superior Court by the US Attorney Michael J. Sullivan very improperly. However they shall remain there because of my status as a Canandian Citizen. Judge Sterns has not even held a Conference about the matters because he likely does not want to hear the matter because I have presented all Members of the Bar with their worst fear of a catch 22 problem. Accordinging to law he is late. I have complained of 47 defendants 34 of whom are State Defendants( the Attorney General, The Commission of Judicial Conduct Board of Bar Overseers etc) and 3 are Federal Treasury Agents. Some of the defendants are over two months late in their answer to the Summons. The smallest suit amounts to 188 million dollars in the form of relief. There is a lot to these matters and too much to briefly explain. But in a nutshell my wife's Aunt, who is buried beside Rose Kennedy, left my wife some money. It was stolen by her relatives in executing the estate. No news there. But the crooks are very well connected politically and every part of the old crony network in Boston covered for them. The crook and our cousin, Charles J. Kickham Jr of the Kickham Law Office on Beacon St, has been past President of Bar Associations. He has sat on the Board of Governors of Harvard Law School etc. I have given much information to many members of the press who have simply ignored some interesting facts. What should be somewhat newsworthy is how far a wild colonial boy has come in prosecuting Pro Se the most profund Yankee carpetbaggers. My next two lawsuits Under title 18 are wickedly righteous.

--Russ Mills, former publisher of the Ottawa CitizenThe Tribune Co., for example, owns television stations and newspapers in Los Angeles, Chicago, New York and Miami.How further media consolidation and convergence would play out if the FCC does lift the ban on cross-ownership has been the subject of hot debate in the weeks leading up to the commission's June 2 vote.Experts familiar with the rapid consolidation of media in Canada say the U.S. should look northward for some lessons on what loosening cross-ownership restrictions could mean to journalism in the U.S.In Canada, the deregulation of cross-media ownership occurred gradually over the last 20 years. Within the past eight years, it has led to massive consolidation of media companies.Most of Canada's news media -- including newspapers and broadcast stations in all of its major cities -- are in the hands of two media giants: CanWest Global Communications Inc., and Bell Globemedia -- a division of the country's largest telephone company, Bell Canada.The rapid media consolidation in Canada has inspired an often-acrimonious debate over whether Canadian journalists are able to report objectively on social and political issues and whether the country's corporate media has allowed business interests to undermine the role of journalism in a modern democracy."Based on the experience in Canada, dropping restrictions on cross-ownership certainly hasn't worked out well," said Russ Mills, former publisher of the Ottawa Citizen in Canada's capital city, who was fired by CanWest in a fight over editorial independence."The concentration of ownership in a lot of major Canadian cities is of interest for a lot of reasons, but mainly because it provides too much news coming through one pipeline," he said. "When companies use ownership to control the news, and they do have the ability to do so, it hurts everyone."Though the two media conglomerates said cross-media consolidation would improve online journalism, many media observers say online journalism at local papers has gone downhill in the wake of consolidation.The country's two national newspapers, the National Post, half-owned by CanWest, and The Globe and Mail, owned by Bell Canada's media wing, Globemedia, have laid off the online reporters and editors at the two papers that once produced copy separate from print editions.The two papers, former online staffers said, were the only ones in Canada that were doing something other than simply repurposing content from newspaper pages into newspaper Web sites.Executives at Bell Globemedia and CanWest have defended the cutbacks, saying they were a result of cost-cutting efforts and consolidations undertaken after spending billions of dollars to acquire newspaper and broadcasting properties.
Consolidation accelerated in 1990sCanada's restrictions on cross-media ownership were carved largely from regulatory decisions on broadcasting licenses made since the 1950s by the Canadian Radio-Television Commission -- Canada's version of the FCC.By the mid-1980s, Canadian media experts say, exceptions to cross-media ownership rules had eroded the cross-ownership ban to the point that it was unenforcable and largely ignored.By the mid-1990s, consolidation of Canadian media companies had accelerated on the strength of dot.com economics. And in 2000, CanWest, the second largest broadcaster in the country, announced a $3.5-billion deal to purchase a majority of the nation's newspapers -- including papers in the nation's 12 largest cities.Within weeks, Jean Monty, Bell Canada's CEO at the time, announced that Canada's largest phone company had set its sights on owning both content and the multimedia pipelines into consumers' homes.The decision prompted Bell Globemedia to purchase the Globe and Mail and the nation's largest TV network, CTV, in 2001.Despite the rising consolidation of media outlets, the massive purchases of newspapers by CanWest Global and Bell Globemedia took many Canadian journalists and media-watchers by surprise.CanWest and Bell executives convinced Canada's CRTC that convergence was necessary to attract advertising revenue and reduce costs if newspapers in many Canadian communities were to survive. And they promised that resources from new revenues would be devoted to improving the quality and reach of journalism through the Internet.When questions about convergence arose during CRTC hearings on both companies' broadcast licenses shortly after their newspaper purchases, they promised regulators that they would separate management of news-gathering operations by their television stations and newspapers.Officials from the Canada National Newspaper Guild complained that keeping management separate would not prevent companies from forcing journalists to perform work for both newspapers and television, to the detriment of journalistic independence.Critics -- including journalism professors, journalists, newspaper and broadcast union officials, and some government officials -- have argued that the quality of journalism has gone down, not up, as a result of convergence.Joyce Smith, an assistant professor at Canada's Ryerson University, teaches online journalism and worked on the online staff at the Globe and Mail before those employees were laid off last year.She said the one opportunity to see convergence succeed might have been missed by Bell Globemedia in its efforts to cut costs to recoup some of what it spent on media acquisitions."What I found interesting was that the actual idea of convergence wasn't a hit with people working with just the newspaper or just television," Smith said. "Where it really happened was with the online news team. There were things the TV folks could clearly do much better with the online newspaper. By pooling resources, it all did work much better."But in the tradition of journalism," she said, "reporters were asking, 'What does this mean for me? Does it mean that I have to file stories to the Web and then do stand-ups in newsroom, while doing my piece for the deadline at the end of the day?'"Basically, (owners) wanted reporters to be one-man bands," Smith said. "That has been played and replayed here. It made sense from a business model, but journalists, especially those who have been around for a while, went into newspapers and TV for a reason. Some are great at doing both, but not everyone has the same aptitude. And no one has the time in the day to do it all. Some of the expectations were outrageous."Canada reexamining changesWhile U.S. media critics and media executives have been testifying over the past few weeks in Senate hearings on the proposed changes in the FCC's media ownership rules, Canada is busy reexamining what has come of its own cross-media consolidations.Two inquiries are underway by Canadian government officials to explore the impact of cross-media ownership and consolidation on journalistic integrity and media responsibility.The Canadian Senate's Committee on Transport and Communication began taking testimony at the end of April on those issues and is expected to report its findings within the next year.A House of Commons committee on Canadian heritage is expected to release an 800-page report next month on its own yearlong investigation into the impact of media concentration and political efforts by corporations to ease restrictions on foreign ownership of Canadian media.But media-watchers, who have a ringside seat on Canada's great media debate, say they are doubtful that government investigations will produce any new regulation on media conglomerates."The horse is out of the barn," said Arnold Amber, director of the National Newspaper Guild of Canada. "But the good news is that this has at least inspired a vigorous national debate on press freedom and responsibility."Amber and other critics of media convergence said promises of more stories and better information from combining print and broadcast news staffs have largely failed in Canada."Bell Globemedia is talking about restructuring and selling off its media wing," Amber said. "The failure of convergence to bring in revenues was primarily responsible for the resignation of Bell Canada's CEO, Jean Monty," who stepped down in April 2002.Geoffrey Elliot, vice-president of corporate affairs for CanWest, said that convergence has not led to revenues, or the reduced costs, the company had hoped for.But Elliot, and other supporters of cross-media ownership, argues that all sides have benefited from consolidation."We are a family-owned business that saw an opportunity in which the whole was greater than the sum of the parts," Elliot said. "We saw substantial potential synergies on the sales side by putting television and newspaper assets together, since they both serve primarily advertising clients as sources of revenue, and serve a combination of local and national markets."Amber said the companies likely saw their primary financial advantages from a convergence of back-office technologies -- combining circulation, sales, printing and management operations.But it was something else that brought issues to a head in Canada over media consolidation and sharing newsroom resources: The loss of diversity of voices within the Canadian media took on new importance, observers say, after a series of events that led to accusations of censorship and political bias by CanWest's owners.In December 2001, CanWest -- which owns 11 major dailies and 22 smaller papers in Canada -- issued a directive to its newspaper editors that they would be expected to run three editorials per week that reflected the position of CanWest's owners on political or social issues.The decision was met with a spate of criticism -- especially when editors were told that other local editorials were not to contradict those from corporate headquarters.A byline strike ensued at the Montreal Gazette, and inquiries by the newspaper guild there led to findings that work by columnists and cartoonists was spiked when it conflicted with opinions from corporate headquarters.Several journalists quit; some staffers published a protest Web site.The furor finally boiled over into the public arena last June when Russ Mills, the publisher of the Ottawa Citizen, was fired by CanWest for running a series of stories and an editorial that outlined alleged political and financial irregularities in the administration of Canadian Prime Minister Jean Chretien.Elliot, the CanWest vice president, said the controversy arose because Mills failed to let CanWest's owners know in advance of the series or the editorial -- which called on Chretien, a friend of CanWest patriarch Israel Asper, to resign.Mills said he had not sought permission for either the investigative series, or the editorial, because he believed in preserving "editorial independence."The problem, Mills said, was that the new owners were trying to dictate local editorial policy from corporate headquarters.Elliot described the concern over attempts at a national editorial policy -- which has since been largely abandoned -- as a tempest without substance.He said CanWest's owners were "well within their rights to propose national editorials," and that their actions were no different that those of other newspaper ownership groups prior to media consolidation."There has never been any effort to control what was published in news stories," he said.Since his firing, Mills has become an outspoken critic of media consolidation in Canada, and he testified in April before the Canadian Senate committee conducting media hearings. He was also awarded a Neiman Fellowship at Harvard University and is the incoming dean of the journalism program at Algonquin College in Ottawa.Meanwhile, Mills' firing prompted a public opinion poll by Canada's largest media union that found that the incident had caused the public to lose confidence in the media's editorial independence.The results, union officials said, showed that Canadians were concerned about press freedom and wanted the government to look into problems associated with media concentration.Peter Murdock, then vice-president of the communications union, told Canada Newswire that the poll "demonstrates that Canadians want their journalists protected from the whims and prejudice of media barons. It is a grim warning to media corporations and government that Canadians believe that the very integrity of the news that feeds our democracy is being undermined by the effects of concentrated media ownership."It is clear that online journalism at Canada's newspapers has changed dramatically under CanWest's corporate control.The company replaced independent newspaper Web sites with a common site, Canada.com, which allows consumers to access local news by clicking on the community they are interested in.Elliot said community news on the Web site comes from local newspapers and television stations, and said that consolidating that information on a single Web site provides consumers better access to local news across the country -- as well as reduces costs.Bruce MacCormack, former head of interactive media at CanWest, said supplementing newspaper and television content with a common Web site has made access to news more efficient and allowed the corporation to serve consumers better."The consumers of online media ... were also television viewers and newspaper readers, and at different points in the day, different media were the best way to reach those people," MacCormack said."Someone watching television in the evening could be told about stories being developed for the next day's newspaper, which is read on the commuter train as people go to work," he said. "Then, during working hours, the Internet was the most effective way to get them up to date on news, and tease them for television use at night.""These were handoff mechanisms that worked to reach people, so consumers and the public were able to access services in the most appropriate media, for whatever method they could best be served."CanWest recently filed testimony with the FCC to support the relaxation of cross-media regulations in the U.S. That testimony challenges media critics on their central objections to cross-media ownership."Today's media market is the richest and most diverse in the history of modern media," the document says. "Cross-ownership has strengthened media companies and encouraged greater diversity and more sources of information."Experience," it adds, "simply does not support the contention of some opponents of cross-media ownership, that consumers would have access to fewer point of view, or would see only repackaged versions of the same content across multimedia platforms."Smith, the Ryerson professor -- despite her criticisms of the handling of online media opportunities in Canada -- said she sees differences between media ownership consolidation in Canada and in the United States."In the U.S., because of the size of the market, the chance of one or two owners gobbling up everything, I think, would be less than in Canada," she said. "But there is some caution in that."If you are thinking about journalists, there are wonderful things about operating in a converged environment. It was really exciting thinking we could potentially have video, and it may be good for news consumers in the sense that (online video) will be a faster way of converging types of media."But you get a lot of the same stuff. There is no alternative. You are going to lose some (editorial) voices in the process."

Online News Association
The Texas Tribune is the only member-supported, digital-first, nonpartisan media organization that informs Texans — and engages with them — about public policy, politics, government and statewide issues.
The Tribune was founded in 2009 by John Thornton (a venture capitalist in Austin for nearly 20 years and passionate believer in public media), Evan Smith (the veteran editor-in-chief of Texas Monthly and host of a weekly interview program on PBS stations), and Ross Ramsey (former owner and editor of Texas Weekly, the state’s premier newsletter on politics and government, now rebranded as The Blast).
The Texas Tribune and its destination website were launched in November 2009, thanks to $4 million in private contributions as seed funding, a small band of talented computer programmers and some of the most accomplished journalists in the state.
Location
The Tribune is located at 919 Congress Avenue, The Sixth Floor, Austin, Texas 78701. Our main phone number is (512) 716-8600.
News
The Tribune, which has the largest statehouse news bureau
in the United States, covers a full range of topics including public
and higher education, health care, immigration, criminal justice,
energy, poverty, the environment, water, transportation — pretty much
every line in the state budget. We also cover the major candidates and
campaigns for office, though we train our sights less on the candidates
than the issues. To further our pursuit of statewide engagement, we
provide all of our content, for free, to print, radio and television
news organizations throughout the state, and nationally in partnership
with The Washington Post.
Data
The Tribune has become an authoritative source for providing user-friendly databases
of public information in Texas. Our reporters and software engineers
collaborate to present a full picture for readers, giving them the tools
to be more thoughtful, productive and engaged citizens. Examples
include our government salaries database, U.S. Senate fundraising tracker, analysis of state demographics and a look at the capacity of shelters for migrant children.
Events
Each year we host 50-plus on-the-record, open-to-the-public live events
— on college campuses, in community centers and everywhere in between —
at which public officials, policy wonks and newsmakers answer for the
work they’re doing and how they’re spending your tax dollars. Events are
often available via livestream video, for those who can’t attend in
person, and following the conversation we publish and archive video
online. Our signature annual event, The Texas Tribune Festival,
attracts thousands of attendees to downtown Austin to learn about
Texas’ biggest challenges and to engage in thoughtful discussion about
their respective solutions. Decision-makers, industry leaders and
community activists from near and far come to take part in this
three-day event.
As a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, The Texas Tribune is supported by individual contributions and membership (click here to join), major gifts, corporate sponsorships, events and foundation grants. A complete list of the Tribune donors and sponsors can be viewed here.

American Oversight is a non-partisan, nonprofit ethics watchdog that
uses public records requests backed by litigation to expose official
misconduct, threats to democracy, and abuses of power at all levels of
government.
Since our launch in March 2017, we have obtained and published tens of
thousands of documents from federal, state, and local government
agencies. Records we obtained have supported investigative reporting
by journalists across the country and have been featured in hundreds
of news reports. Our investigation of the Ukraine scandal was cited by
Congress in the first impeachment of former President Donald Trump.
More recently, our records requests and litigation in Georgia revealed
further evidence undercutting the false allegations of widespread
election fraud.

Welcome to CRC’s work-in-progress, InfluenceWatch.
Capital Research Center conceived of this project after identifying a
need for more fact-based, accurate descriptions of all of the various
influencers of public policy issues. Many so-called “watchdog” groups
are instead opponents. Armed with 30-years of research and data on
advocacy organizations, foundations and donors, CRC also tapped in to
a universe of contributors to help build the individual and
organizational profiles that will populate the website.
CRC has a perspective on the public policy process as well, but this
resource is more important than that. We’re seeking the information to
speak for itself—information that frequently is not cited in reports
about these individuals and organizations.
InfluenceWatch strives to be comprehensive, and profiles will be
frequently updated and written in a manner that’s accurate and
measured. Over time, InfluenceWatch will bring unprecedented
transparency to the funding, motives, and interconnections of the
entities profiled.
The InfluenceWatch team will constantly be editing to improve facts,
add new connections, provide more information, improve sources, and
otherwise strengthen the value of all of the information on the
website.

Austin Evers
Nationality: American
Occupation: Attorney
Executive Director, American Oversight
Austin Evers is the Founder and Executive Director of American
Oversight, an organization targeting right-of-center interests and
causes through open records requests. [1] He founded the organization
in an effort to target the Trump administration. [2]
Evers, then a State Department attorney, was involved in a controversy
during Hillary Clinton’s private email server scandal due to his
association with the law firm Clinton retained as counsel at the time
and also his lack of experience handling Freedom of Information Act
requests.
Career
Evers founded American Oversight in 2017[3] as a response to the
election of President Donald Trump. [4] Interested in targeting
President Trump and his administration, he expressed concern that no
watchdogs were in place that “planned to be antagonistic toward the
administration,” leading him to create American Oversight. [5]
Before founding American Oversight, he was a government attorney
serving as senior counsel to the State Department during the Obama
administration. [6] Evers’ work focused on transparency and oversight
related matters. [7] He also worked on the Benghazi investigation and
the Hillary Clinton email investigation. [8]
Earlier in his career, he was a litigator at Williams & Connolly LLP,
a prominent law firm based in Washington, D.C. He also clerked for the
Federal District Court of Massachusetts and the Massachusetts Supreme
Judicial Court. [9] Evers graduated summa cum laude from Boston
College Law School. [10]
Controversy
While Evers served as an attorney at the Department of State, he and a
colleague were entangled in a controversy surrounding Freedom of
Information Act (FIOA) requests while investigating former Secretary
of State Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server for
government business. [11] Both Evers and his colleague had no previous
experience handling FIOA requests and also previously worked at
Williams & Connolly, the same firm that Hillary Clinton hired to
represent her during the scandal. [12]
Then-House Judiciary Committee Chairman Rep. Bob Goodlatte (R-VA)
questioned both the State Department’s process citing Evers and his
colleague’s lack of FIOA experience[13] and also noted that their
participation in the investigation could be a conflict of interest
given their past connection to Clinton’s counsel at the time. [14] In
a letter written to the State Department’s inspector general,
Goodlatte wrote “at the very least, this suspect arrangement raises
questions about the State Department hiring process,” but “at worst,
it suggests willful obstruction by handpicked Clinton associates at
the State Department on behalf of former Secretary Clinton, to ensure
damaging or incriminating documents never saw the light of day.” [15]
Political Donations
Evers has been a financial supporter of Democratic and liberal
candidates since 2008. He contributed to President Barack Obama and
Sen. Elizabeth Warren’s presidential campaigns, as well as campaigns
of former U.S. Rep. Beto O’Rourke (D-TX), U.S. Sen. Jacky Rosen
(D-NV), U.S. Rep. Elissa Slotkin (D-MI), and U.S. Rep. Antonio Delgado
(D-NY).

A Macro Human Capital Approach For Compliance
Posted on 10 Feb, 2021 Leave a comment
Today, I posted this week’s episode of Compliance into the Weeds where
Matt Kelly and myself looked at the Securities and Exchange
Commission’s (SEC) mandated human capital disclosures that have begun
to appear in corporate annual reports. This podcast got me thinking
about the human capital issue in the compliance context. I recently
came across a Harvard Business Review (HBR) article, entitled “The
Most Pressing People Questions Facing Companies Today”, by Dambisa
Moyo, that takes this human capital down to a macro level and I
thought it presented some important questions for every Chief
Compliance Officer (CCO) in today’s workplace.
Over the past 11 months, many companies have focused on their
operational and financial issues to help deal with the economic shock
from the coronavirus pandemic. They have also focused on such issues
as “employee health and safety, protecting the corporate culture, and
ensuring that their companies are running efficiently.” Moyo believes
that we are at a point where a deeper set of employee-related issues
will dominate corporations in the post-Covid period. There are at
least five “people” questions that companies will need to address as
they emerge from the pandemic and the period beyond. I have adapted
them for the compliance perspective.
More Automation and Tech
The pandemic has clearly sped up the process of automation and the
greater use of technology in every corporate discipline, including
compliance. When you couple this with the Department of Justice’s
(DOJ) prescription for increased use of data and data analytics by the
corporate compliance function, every CCO should be planning for more
aggressive digitization as well as re-casting the compliance
structure. This includes attracting compliance practitioners with
skills for the future and equipping the current compliance function
with technological skills needed for 2021 and beyond. One classed in
law school on compliance will no longer cut it.
Moyo believes we are at a “once-in-a-generation structural shift that
will redefine how a company operates”. This means a radical rethink by
CCOs and thought leaders in our profession. She believes it should be
approached “with a number of key questions in mind: What is the ideal
size of the [compliance] workforce, and how much capital should the
company commit to sustaining it? Which [compliance] operations and
roles will no longer be needed? Which emerging areas and [compliance]
roles should the company be investing in? Which [compliance] metrics
can management track to gauge a smooth transition to more automated
[compliance] workforce? What investments should they make to reskill
and attract the [compliance] workforce of the future?”
WFH or RTW
Many companies are struggling with the question of where employees
should be working. Yet, Moyo believes that organizations “should be
advancing remote working plans to manage their organizations.” Every
CCO should be asking these or similar questions, including: “At what
proportion of remote work can a company efficiently run its operations
over the long run? Which parts of the production line are more
naturally equipped to be developed remotely? Rather than adopt a
blanket policy, can the company accommodate remote working plans for
individuals? How do existing metrics for performance, pay, and
promotion stand up to a more remote work environment? How can company
preserve its culture amid greater remote working?”
It is that final question which may, at the end of the day, be the
most challenging and most important to the compliance professional.
How should CCOs and corporate compliance functions work to “protect
their culture as the workforce becomes more diffused and workers work
remotely? In particular, how will you ensure all employees, especially
newer and younger employees who have not yet built established
contacts, remain wedded to the corporation’s culture and purpose and
do not feel isolated and not connected to a team?”
The bottom line is that CCOs need insure that WFH is sustainable, “in
the sense that it defends the company culture, enables the company to
grow, that the company is profitable, and that it meets customer and
societal needs while being home to happy and engaged employees.” Some
companies, such as Gitlab, have demonstrated this can be done with a
near 100 percent remote workforce. Yet it will require new and
innovative ways to communicate, assess and drive corporate culture.
Engaged Stakeholders
Moyo believes “People issues are no longer only about a company’s
employees.” This was further borne out by the SEC, which, as Kelly
noted, “adopted rules last year requiring publicly traded companies to
include a discussion of their human capital issues in their annual
reports.” But it is much broader than simply the SEC. In addition to
the “regulators, customers, shareholders, or communities, many
corporate stakeholders are becoming more vocal, expecting details on
everything from the average wages paid and worker conditions to the
provenance and environmental impact of their products.” Further,
“Employees are sharing details on company culture and practices on
digital platforms, such as Glassdoor, Blind and The Layoff. Customer
complaints on social media can go viral in an instant.”
All of this means CCOs “need to build new strategies, skills and
processes to handle this feedback and foster better engagement with
all stakeholders.” This includes “sourcing the views and incorporating
the perspective of all stakeholders into an overall decision-making
process. Used proactively, digital platforms give management an
opportunity to track timely, first-hand, unfiltered customer and
employee sentiments that they may wish to react to.”
Culture, Culture, Culture
As a final point, even broader than the five stakeholders identified
in the Business Roundtable’s Statement on the Purpose of a
Corporation, is Moyo’s final query, when she stated, “leaders will
need to adapt their organizations to reflect a broader purpose beyond
generating returns for shareholders.” This means being a good
corporate citizen through a superior corporate culture. Moyo poses
several questions which may initially seem outside the purview of the
CCO but upon greater reflection are questions about Institution
Justice and Institutional Fairness. They are: “Who should be deemed
employees? Is it just full-time workers on a company’s roster or
should the definition of an employee broaden to include
sub-contractors, suppliers and zero-contract workers?” A CCO or
compliance function may well be required to assess whether
digitization will undermine efforts toward more diversity and
inclusion in the compliance function. Moyo concludes her piece by
stating, “However, each of the people issues on this slate/discussed
here carry enormous systemic risks to the organization and its
reputation. Addressing them now will ensure that your company emerges
from the pandemic stronger and ready to face the future.” Every CCO
and compliance practitioner needs to think about these issues as well.

To: David Amos <motomaniac333@gmail.com>
Thank you for your email. If you have received an unsolicited call,
text, or email from an individual purporting to be from the Internal
Revenue Service or the Department of the Treasury, and/or making
threats of legal action or even promises of federal grant funds, it is
a fraud. Scammers have even attached fake "IRS" letters to e-mails to
make it look genuine--it isn't.
There are a number of similar scams, some of which can be quite
persuasive: in some, the scammers have done brief Internet research of
potential victims so they appear to be familiar with their victim's
personal details, and they use this information as a springboard to
obtain more. You may report scams regarding the IRS at the following
site:
www.tigta.gov. Other scams can be reported to the Federal Trade
Commission at spam@uce.gov, (or call 1-877-FTC-HELP) and internet
(email) frauds to the FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center at
www.ic3.gov.
Please be aware that phone numbers and email addresses can be
"spoofed" to appear to be generated from a federal agency. Recently
there has been an increase in reports of scammers using this method to
make it appear as if a number associated with this agency or the DC
area is the calling number. Do not be taken in! We encourage you to
continue to be extremely wary of unsolicited telephone or e-mail
communications, particularly those that request personal information,
contain any offer of some prize or "grant," or make monetary demands.
Complaints regarding fraud, waste, or abuse in the Department of the
Treasury, excluding the IRS, may be reported at
www.treasury.gov/about/
We have noted that some systems do not download operational links from
this autoreply, instead generating the links as duplicate address
texts. If your system is experiencing these issues, we thank you for
your patience while we attempt to fix this issue. These sites can also
be accessed by either typing in the specific www. or https:\\
address, or locating and clicking the site via a search engine.
Sincerely,
Office of Counsel

Heavily fortified statehouses around US see small protests
By David A. Lieb And Adam GellerThe Associated Press
Sun., Jan. 17, 2021
“I don’t trust the results of the election,” said Michigan protester
Martin Szelag, a 67-year-old semi-retired window salesman from
Dearborn Heights. He wore a sign around his neck that read, in part,
“We will support Joe Biden as our President if you can convince us he
won legally. Show us the proof! Then the healing can begin.”

At the time much of the content on DeepCapture.com was written, the
Great Financial Crisis of 2008 was either on the verge of happening or
had just occurred. In those days, emotions among this publication’s
contributors were raw and, in an effort to get their warnings noticed
and appropriate blame placed, occasionally hyperbolic language and
shocking imagery were employed. Were we to write these entries today,
a different tone would prevail.
Yet, being a record of a pivotal time in our global economic history,
we’ve decided to leave the rawness unedited, with the proviso that
readers take the context of the creation of certain posts into

Remember what it was like to think dangerously? When expression and

Here’s the news. I’ve a new channel. A new platform. A new paid
subscription membership
(https://lionelmedia.com/
not on any social media platform. It’s LionelMedia
(https://lionelmedia.com/) . New and improved. Remember when thinking
was dangerous and unregulated? You know. Freedom of speech. Freedom of
thought, expression, belief. Unfettered, unencumbered, unplugged.
Remember? Sounds too good to be true. But it’s happening. Here
(https://lionelmedia.com/
Countering the deep state, police state, intel state, shadow
government and ruling class #BigTech fascists. Ahem.
My story. Tuesday morning, 11 September 2001 CE. Redpilled. Big time.
Everything changed for me and I haven’t been the same since. I was in
NYC and couldn’t believe what I was seeing. And then I couldn’t
believe what I was reading and seeing on TV. But the truth was online.
This was before social media and Twatter, Fecesbook and that other
thing. It was Wild West Internet. The theories and hypotheses were
exploding. Many daft, many deranged and many spot-on and deadly
accurate. Perfect. We were called Truthers. Translation: People who
didn’t believe the official account (for a variety of reasons).
Imagine that, derided for wanting the truth. And it was fun and cool
and dangerous. And great.
But wait, there’s more. If you want to question vaccine safety
especially as to kids and you’re not RFK Jr. with Kennedy immunity,
you’re an Anti-Vaxxer and you’re off social media. Remember in 2016
when tough guy wannabe and overrated actor Bobby De Niro dared to
screen “Vaxxed: From Cover-Up to Catastrophe”? Seems that tough guy
Bobby got whacked and backed down. As the NYT reported
(https://www.nytimes.com/2016/
: “Facing a storm of criticism over its plan to show a documentary
about the widely debunked link between vaccines and autism, the
Tribeca Film Festival on Saturday pulled the film from its schedule
next month.” Did you catch that? Widely debunked link between vaccines
and autism. You’d better say it’s debunked or you’ll go the way of
Jenny McCarthy. Who? (Precisely.)
I said there was more. Doubt that UBL was dispatched in a gun battle
in Abbottabad and tossed into the drink à la Luca Brasi with not one
single morgue shot available and question the seemingly endless
passels of ex-Navy SEALs who swear they single-handedly plugged Osama
bin Forgotten, you’re a Deather. Ditto for questioning Saddam’s phone
cam dispatch. Unsure as to Barry O’s provenance (and you can think
Hillary C for that one), you’re a Birther (and a racist). Think that
masks don’t work (as Fauci said repeatedly) other than to steam up
glasses and perpetuate the culture of anonymity, you’re a Masker. (OK,
I made that one up). Bottom line, if you don’t regurgitate the pap,
the story line, you’re on your own. And for most folks they couldn’t
care less. Just let them pose half nude in front of a bathroom mirror
or perseverate the illusion and fantasy of hotness via beauty app and
they’re fine. That’s the way it works. Addict folks to social media
and then demand that they abide by the
rules of insipidity or lose their exhibitionist license. Sorry,
Sparky, not for me.
Then, it all changed. After social media hooked everyone with an
unlimited narcissism stage it changed the rules. Don’t talk at all of
the aforementioned or anything about hydroxychloroquine, stolen
elections, Biden’s profligate son, China, geoengineering, the
conspiracy theory du jour, pro-Trump ideations, “hate speech” and any
of the forbidden phobias or Poof! Off you go. Be gone. Demonetization,
shadow-banning, prohibition in toto, suspension, exceptions, labeling,
cautionary warnings. Systematic destruction of random and erstwhile
protected thought. You will be relegated and exiled in social media
Elba.
I need my own platform. I'm being second-guessed, sanctioned,
penalized, throttled, demonetized. And for what exactly? Especially
now with a spate of ex-Mafia made channels regaling you with lurid
tales of hits and murder and "the life." (Whither omertà ?) That’s OK.
But dare to discuss COVID therapeutics and you’re Elvis. Sorry. Look,
there’s nothing wrong with making money from the dissemination of
opinion and analysis. We’re capitalists, after all. (That’s still
legal. Right, AOC?) I want to say what I want and share it with the

Overstock's colorful founder has tales to tell about the Russia hoax
By Andrea Widburg
Patrick Byrne, Overstock's founder, has long suspected that Obama set
up a police intelligence state that's been calling the shots in
American politics since 2015. On Sunday, he pushed back against those
of Trump's legal advisers demanding surrender. On Tuesday, he claimed
that Obama had blackmailed Hillary Clinton to own her politically. If
that's true, what Byrne is saying can upend the American political
scene.
The New Yorker profiled Byrne early in December. Sheelah Kolhatkar,
who wrote the profile, thinks Byrne is probably as crazy as John
McAfee, with both given over to life-destroying conspiracy theories.
Kolhatkar plays fair, though, and cannot deny his brilliance.
Former employees describe a memory trick he likes to perform, in
which he studies a deck of cards for a few minutes and then recites
back the order of the cards, one by one. "When he's on, he's smart,
charming, complex, and brilliant," Marc Cohodes, who was once a critic
of Overstock and is now an investor in the company, told me.
While Byrne may be eccentric, he's often right. He was the first to
realize that investment firms and stock traders were colluding to
drive stock prices down. He was accused of being paranoid, but the
financial crisis proved he was correct. Additionally, while Byrne's
tales about his adventures sound like fiction, that doesn't mean they
are:
David Luban, a professor of law at Georgetown University who has
known Byrne since teaching him as an undergraduate, observed that
improbable things seem to happen to Byrne with remarkable frequency.
"He's a hard man to bet against," Luban said. "So many of his stories
that have seemed utterly incredible turn out to be true."
Byrne's biggest adventure was his relationship with Maria Butina, who
was later convicted of acting as an unregistered Russian foreign
agent. When she approached him, he was worried enough to report that
fact to the FBI and was surprised when the Fibbies were unconcerned.
Throughout their one-and-a-half-year affair, Byrne kept the FBI
apprised.
Eventually, Byrne decided that the FBI were the baddies, and were
setting up Butina, who was arrested in July 2018:
By then, Byrne's suspicions about the F.B.I. had crystallized into
a belief that he had been part of a plot by high-ranking members of
the Obama Administration to commit political espionage, in an attempt
to control the next President.
Byrne also claims that the Obama administration planned the Russia
hoax as early as 2015:
According to the government's version of events, the F.B.I. opened
Crossfire Hurricane, its investigation into possible ties between the
Trump campaign and the Russian government, on July 31, 2016, after it
found out that the Trump campaign adviser George Papadopoulos had told
an Australian diplomat that he'd heard that Russians had compromising
information about Hillary Clinton. Byrne claims that it all really
started a year earlier, when the F.B.I. became aware of his
relationship with Butina.
We know that the government's account — that they opened the
investigation on July 31, 2016 — is a lie. A July 28, 2016 Peter
Strzok text to Lisa Page refers to already open counter-intelligence
investigations. Moreover, Clinton and the DNC had hired Fusion GPS in
April 2016 to investigate Trump's alleged Russian ties. Byrne thinks
Strzok was an architect of the Russia hoax and used Byrne's
relationship with Butina to further it.
Strzok denies all knowledge of Bryne and Butina. As a reminder,
this is Strzok:
Peter Strzok's creepy smirks freak out Twitter audience
On Sunday, Bryne spoke about a meeting in the Oval Office and claimed
that Trump's legal advisers are betraying him by urging him not to
fight massive election fraud:
Now Byrne has gone on record to say that he was part of a 2015 sting
operation that saw Hillary accept multi-million-dollar bribes from
foreign governments. Byrne thought the sting was to reveal Hillary's
criminality, only to discover that it was to give Obama a hold over
her when (as everyone assumed) she entered the White House. You can
see the video clip here in which Byrne explains that Obama had used
the Deep State to set up a blackmail operation.
The big question is whether Byrne is a fabulist, whose utterances we
should ignore — or is he, instead, a brilliant, successful, connected,
often prescient man who's currently a voice in the wilderness and
should be taken very seriously? I don't have an answer for that, but
his statements seem consistent with what we know about Hillary's
corruption and the Obama Deep State, including the FBI.

possible.
So to help us best direct your enquiry and respond to it, please

If you would like to invite me or Lucy to an event, please forward the

>>> 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

>>> [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

>>> [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

>>>
>>>
>>> [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

>>> 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.

>>>
>>> [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

Rep. Alcee Hastings, D-Fla., died Tuesday at age 84 after a
two-year bout with pancreatic cancer.
Democrats now hold a narrower margin in the House, with a 218-211
split, while six vacant seats remain.

Rep. Alcee Hastings, D-Fla., died Tuesday after a more than two-year
bout with pancreatic cancer, NBC News confirmed.
Hastings, who served in the House for nearly three decades, was 84.
Throughout his career, he held several key committee assignments and
leadership positions, most recently as vice chairman of the rules
committee. He had also been Florida’s first Black federal trial judge,
appointed to the bench in 1979 by President Jimmy Carter.
“As an attorney, civil rights activist and judge, and over his nearly
thirty years in Congress, he fought tirelessly to create opportunities
to lift up working families, communities of color, children and
immigrants,” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi wrote in a statement.
President Joe Biden reacted to Hastings’ death on Tuesday afternoon.
“Across his long career of public service, Alcee always stood up to
fight for equality, and always showed up for the working people he
represented,” he said in a statement. “Jill and I are saddened to
learn of his passing.”
Democrats now hold a narrower advantage in the House, 218-211, giving
the party a smaller margin of error in passing legislation. Six seats
are vacant, four of which were previously held by Democrats and two by
Republicans.
Three of the four Democratic House seats were vacated by appointments
to positions in President Joe Biden’s Cabinet. Deb Haaland, of New
Mexico, was appointed secretary of the Department of Interior; Marcia
Fudge, of Ohio, was named head of the Department of Housing and Urban
Development, and Cedric Richmond, of Louisiana, became senior advisor
to the president and director of the White House Office of Public
Engagement.
One of the two vacant GOP seats is no longer up for contest. Julia
Letlow of Louisiana was elected in late March but has yet to be sworn
in. Julia will replace her late husband, Luke Letlow, who was elected
to the seat but died before being sworn in due to Covid-19
complications.
In 1983, when Hastings was a federal judge, he was acquitted in
criminal court on a charge of conspiring to solicit a bribe in
exchange for leniency in a sentencing.

Nevertheless, the House impeached Hastings in 1988 amid accusations
that he perjured himself during that criminal trial. The Senate voted
to convict him, removing him from the bench, but did not vote to
disqualify him from holding future office.
Hastings appealed the impeachment conviction in 1992. A federal judge
overturned the conviction, on the grounds that a 12-member Senate
committee, rather than the full Senate, conducted the impeachment
trial. This was the first time a Senate conviction was overturned by a
federal judge.
The next year, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled federal courts do not have
the authority to review the procedures of a Senate impeachment trial.
Hastings’ legislative career, which began with his election in 1992
and continued until his death, was unaffected by the decision.

Committee Assignments
Armed Services
Judiciary
Matt Gaetz, a member of the 116th Congress, is currently serving his
second term. He is a member of the House Armed Services Committee and
the Judiciary Committee. His work in Congress focuses on national
security, tax reform, regulatory reform, and adherence to
constitutional principles. Matt is devoted to the values upon which
our country was founded, earning the nickname of “constitutional
conservative champion.” Matt is an active member on the Climate
Solutions, Reformers, Animal Protection, and Robotics Caucuses.
Prior to serving in Congress, Matt worked as an attorney in Northwest
Florida with the Keefe, Anchors & Gordon law firm, where he advocated
for a more open and transparent government. In 2010, Matt was elected
to serve in the Florida House of Representatives to represent portions
of Okaloosa and Santa Rosa county. He was chairman of the Finance and
Tax Committee, where he authored and passed $1 billion in tax cuts,
all while balancing the state budget and repealing or replacing over
4,000 regulations. Matt also served as chairman of the Criminal
Justice Subcommittee, where he authored and passed some of America’s
toughest penalties against violent sexual predators.
From Florida to D.C., Matt has lived up to his reputation as an
outspoken conservative firebrand. Matt has been a prominent voice for
uncovering corruption within the Department of Justice and the Federal
Bureau of Investigation. Matt is passionate about making sure
government is accountable, transparent, honest.
Matt is proud to be a part of the historic passage of the Tax Cuts and
Jobs Act, which provided tax relief for workers, families, job
creators, and helped revitalize our nation’s economy.
Matt’s first bill that successfully passed through the House was H.R.
2370, the Escambia County Land Conveyance Act, giving leaseholders in
Santa Rosa Island the option to acquire fee simple titles to their
property. The bill also stipulates that the non-federal areas
dedicated for conservation, preservation, public access, and parking
will all be preserved permanently.
Since Northwest Florida is home to strategic military installations
such as Eglin AFB, Hurlburt Field, and Pensacola NAS, Matt has made it
a priority to ensure the military has extraordinary capabilities to
protect America. During the FY2019 National Defense Authorization Act
(NDAA), Matt secured numerous provisions, including an amendment for
SPACE-A travel benefits for veterans with service-related
disabilities, and a $41.9 million increase in funding to military test
ranges, including the Gulf Test Range.
Matt graduated from Florida State University in Tallahassee, Florida,
with a bachelor’s degree in interdisciplinary sciences. After
finishing his undergraduate studies, Matt moved to Williamsburg,
Virginia, to attend William & Mary Law School, where he received his
Juris Doctorate.
Matt was born in Fort Walton Beach, Florida, and is the son of Don and
Vickey Gaetz. Matt is a lifetime member of the National Rifle
Association, which has given him an A+ rating throughout his time in
the legislature, and First Baptist Church in Fort Walton Beach. When
Matt is not fighting for his constituents, he enjoys spending time
with his family and his dog Scarlett.
https://anchorsgordon.com/ben-
A native of Fort Walton Beach, Ben Gordon is a founding partner in
AnchorsGordon.
With over 20 years of experience focused on legal issues impacting
businesses and individuals, Ben works to avoid liability triggers as
general counsel as well as to resolve disputes through litigation. Ben
counsels new and existing businesses on creating a strong foundation
for a successful enterprise, including with respect to operating
agreements, contracts, and employment issues. In particular, Ben
frequently advises clients and litigates issues related to trade
secrets, non-compete, non-solicitation, and non-disclosure agreements.
Ben’s litigation practice primarily focuses on real estate litigation,
commercial litigation, corporate and partnership litigation, and
condominium/homeowner’s association litigation. Ben works closely with
real estate developers, commercial property owners, bars and
restaurants, retail businesses, and the hospitality industry, as well
as local Northwest Florida manufacturers, technology companies, and
government contractors.
Ben’s practice is strongly influenced by his legal experiences within
and beyond Northwest Florida. After graduating from law school, Ben
served as a law clerk for the Honorable C. Roger Vinson, Chief Judge
for the U. S. District Court for the Northern District of Florida in
Pensacola. Ben entered private practice as an attorney with King &
Spalding LLP in Washington, D.C., where he focused on complex business
litigation in state and federal courts throughout the country. While
Ben continues to spend significant time in D.C., his home is Northwest
Florida where he serves local businesses and clients, with his unique
understanding of how the local dynamics of this community interrelate
with the legal and business realities outside the region.
Ben and his family have a long history of service to our area, serving
as teachers, volunteers, and active leaders in our legal and business
communities. Ben’s father, the late Honorable Ben Gordon, Jr., served
Northwest Florida as a County Judge and Circuit Judge for more than
twenty years. Ben continues to serve his community in many roles,
including having been appointed by Florida’s governor to serve on the

Raising a Little Hell- Lively Debate Provokes Crowd
By Erin Hatfield
"If you don't like what you got, why don't you change it? If your
world is all screwed up, rearrange it."
The 1979 Trooper song Raise a Little Hell blared on the speakers at
the 8th Hussars Sports Center Friday evening as people filed in to
watch the Fundy candidates debate the issues. It was an accurate, if
unofficial, theme song for the debate.
The crowd of over 200 spectators was dwarfed by the huge arena, but as
they chose their seats, it was clear the battle lines were drawn.
Supporters of Conservative candidate Rob Moore naturally took the blue
chairs on the right of the rink floor while John Herron's Liberalswent
left. There were splashes of orange, supporters of NDP Pat Hanratty,
mixed throughout. Perhaps the loudest applause came from a row towards
the back, where supporters of independent candidate David Amos sat.
The debate was moderated by Leo Melanson of CJCW Radio and was
organized by the Sussex Valley Jaycees. Candidates wereasked a barrage
of questions bypanelists Gisele McKnight of the Kings County Record
and Lisa Spencer of CJCW.
Staying true to party platforms for the most part, candidates
responded to questions about the gun registry, same sex marriage, the
exodus of young people from the Maritimes and regulated gas prices.
Herron and Moore were clear competitors,constantly challenging each
other on their answers and criticizing eachothers’ party leaders.
Hanratty flew under the radar, giving short, concise responses to the
questions while Amos provided some food for thought and a bit of comic
relief with quirky answers. "I was raised with a gun," Amos said in
response to the question of thenational gun registry. "Nobody's
getting mine and I'm not paying 10 cents for it."
Herron, a Progressive Conservative MP turned Liberal, veered from his
party'splatform with regard to gun control. "It was ill advised but
well intentioned," Herron said. "No matter what side of the house I am
on, I'm voting against it." Pat Hanratty agreed there were better
places for the gun registry dollars to be spent.Recreational hunters
shouldn't have been penalized by this gun registry," he said.
The gun registry issues provoked the tempers of Herron and Moore. At
one point Herron got out of his seat and threw a piece of paper in
front of Moore. "Read that," Herron said to Moore, referring to the
voting record of Conservative Party leader Steven Harper. According to
Herron, Harper voted in favour of the registry on the first and second
readings of the bill in 1995. "He voted against it when it counted, at
final count," Moore said. "We needa government with courage to
register sex offenders rather than register the property of law
abiding citizens."
The crowd was vocal throughout the evening, with white haired men and
women heckling from the Conservative side. "Shut up John," one woman
yelled. "How can you talk about selling out?" a man yelled whenHerron
spoke about his fear that the Conservatives are selling farmers out.
Although the Liberal side was less vocal, Kings East MLA Leroy
Armstrong weighed in at one point. "You’re out of touch," Armstrong
yelled to Moore from the crowd when the debate turned to the cost of
post-secondary education. Later in the evening Amos challenged
Armstrong to a public debate of their own. "Talk is cheap. Any time,
anyplace," Armstrong responded.
As the crowd made its way out of the building following the debate,
candidates worked the room. They shook hands with well-wishers and
fielded questions from spectators-all part of the decision-making
process for the June 28 vote.

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

Prosecutors say Joyce’s lawyer lied, should be pulled from trial
By Neal Simpson
The Patriot Ledger
Posted Jan 18, 2018 at 12:59 PM
BOSTON - Federal prosecutors have accused an attorney for former state
Sen. Brian Joyce of lying to state ethics officials and are asking a
judge to have him pulled from Joyce’s defense team if the former
legislator’s corruption case goes to trial.
In a motion filed earlier this month, prosecutors said lawyer Howard
Cooper had made “several material and false representations” to the
state Ethics Commission on behalf of Joyce, a Milton Democrat who is
accused of using the influence of his office to collect a series of
bribes, kickbacks and gifts, including hundreds of pounds of free
coffee and a Jeep.
Prosecutors say Cooper helped Joyce cover up at least two of his
schemes and could provide important testimony at trial.
Cooper, a founding partner at Todd & Weld in Boston, was not
identified by name in the 113-count indictment against Joyce, but
prosecutors said in their motion filed earlier this month that he was
the unnamed attorney described in the indictment as sending misleading
emails and letters to the Ethics Commission on Joyce’s behalf. Cooper
did not respond to request for comment Wednesday.
In one of those letters, sent in October 2016, prosecutors say Cooper
falsely told the Ethics Commission that Joyce had directed his
retirement account to purchase common stock in an energy-insurance
holding company doing business in Massachusetts.
In fact, prosecutors say, the retirement account was a sham created to
evade IRS penalties and hide Joyce’s direct investment in the company,
which stood to benefit from alternative-energy legislation that Joyce
was championing on Beacon Hill.
Prosecutors say Cooper also sent two misleading emails to the Ethics
Commission about Joyce’s relationship with a Dunkin’ Donuts franchisee
who made payments to Joyce and sent him free coffee at the same time
that the senator was pushing legislation that would help the
franchisee’s business.
Prosecutors said Joyce received hundreds of pounds of free coffee from
the franchisee – giving much of it away to constituents or fellow
state senators – but later tried to claim he paid for the coffee
deliveries or had received them in exchange for legal services
provided by his law firm.
In 2015, prosecutors say Cooper emailed the Ethics Commission and told
them Joyce had purchased the coffee he gave out to fellow senators the
previous Christmas. In reality, prosecutors say Joyce only paid for
the coffee only after The Boston Globe reported on the Christmas gifts
a month later.
Then in 2016, prosecutors say Cooper told the commission in an email
that an earlier delivery of coffee in 2013 had been made in exchange
for Joyce’s legal work on related to a Dunkin’ Donuts franchise. But
prosecutors say Joyce only invented that arrangement in 2015, two
years after the coffee had already been delivered.
Joyce was released last month on $250,000 bond secured by property he
owns in Canton. He is due back in court Feb. 23.

Accountant charged with helping ex-Sen. Brian Joyce defraud IRS
Image: Former Massachusetts State Sen. Brian Joyce is surrounded by
reporters as he leaves the U.S. Federal Courthouse in Worcester, Mass
By Erin Tiernan
The Patriot Ledger
Posted Jan 29, 2018 at 2:50 PM
Federal prosecutors say John H. Nardozzi helped the former Milton
Democrat avoid paying almost $800,000 in taxes over a four-year
period.
WORCESTER — A longtime accountant for former state Sen. Brian Joyce
has been charged with helping the embattled Milton Democrat prepare
and file false income tax returns, federal officials said.
John. H. Nardozzi of Waltham is accused of aiding Joyce and his family
in defrauding the government out of almost $800,000 in taxes over a
four-year period, according to an indictment unsealed on Monday.
Joyce was charged in a separate federal indictment in December that
alleges he laundered more than $1 million in kickbacks and bribes
through his law practice and another private business.
Nardozzi will appear in federal court in Worcester on Monday
afternoon, charged with one count of conspiring to defraud the IRS and
eight counts of aiding and assisting in the filing of false tax
returns, the U.S. Attorney’s Office said.
Prosecutors allege Nardozzi conspired with Joyce to defraud the IRS by
deducting millions of dollars in personal expenses as legitimate
business expenses, inflating self-employment income for Joyce and his
wife by more than $2 million in order to maximize retirement plan
contributions, falsifying withdrawals from a retirement account and
falsifying dividends on Joyce’s personal tax returns.
In total, Nardozzi is accused of misclassifying $2,268,520 to reduce
Joyce’s tax burden, according to prosecutors. Joyce’s law firm should
have paid out $850,748 in taxes during that period, of which Joyce
paid just $56,766.
“For tax years 2011 through and including 2014, defendant Nardozzi and
Joyce knowingly and willfully caused [Brian Joyce’s law firm] to avoid
paying approximately $793,982 in federal corporate income taxes,” the
indictment states.
Joyce, who moved to Westport with his family last year following an
FBI-raid on his law office, faces more than 100 charges ranging from
racketeering and extortion to money laundering and could place Joyce
behind bars for up to 20 years.
Then-Acting U.S. Attorney William Weinreb hinted in December at a
press conference announcing Joyce’s indictment that more arrests were
likely as the investigation into Joyce’s alleged corruption continued.
“He used his office as a criminal enterprise to make deals with his
business cronies and in exchange he took bribes, kickbacks ... and
took steps to conceal his corrupt acts,” Weinreb said at the time
Nardozzi’s indictment indicates that prosecutors believe the certified
public accountant played a part in that cover up.
Joyce and his wife bought $471,250 in common stock from a Delaware
energy insurance broker in 2014, $395,125 of which they paid for
though a series of early withdrawals from their retirement accounts.
In the Joyce indictment, prosecutors said the retirement account was a
sham created to evade IRS penalties and hide Joyce’s direct investment
in the company, which stood to benefit from alternative-energy
legislation that Joyce pushing on Beacon Hill.
Prosecutors allege Nardozzi, an accountant of 37 years, falsely
reported it as a tax-exempt retirement account rollover with the
intent to help the Joyce’s avoid paying taxes to the IRS.
“By reporting the early withdrawal of funds from the Joyce’s
retirement accounts as a tax-exempt rollover on Joyce’s 2014 personal
tax return... defendant Nardozzi and Joyce caused Joyce and Joyce’s
spouse to avoid paying approximately $208,100 in additional income
taxes and early withdrawal penalties,” the indictment states.
Nardozzi was not named in the original 113-count indictment against
Joyce. Joyce pleaded not guilty to the charges on Dec. 8 and is
currently free on a $250,000 bond.
Prosecutors have also fingered Joyce’s laweyr, Howard Cooper as taking
a role in Joyce’s corruption coverup. A motion filed earlier this
month asked a federal judge to remove Cooper from Joyce’s defense
team, accusing him of making “several material and false
representations” to the state Ethics Commission on behalf of Joyce.
Cooper has not been indicted, but prosecutors said Cooper helped Joyce
cover up at least two of his schemes, including the stock purchase,
and could provide important testimony at trial.

Prosecutors in Joyce case earn rebuke from legal community
By Neal Simpson
The Patriot Ledger
Posted Apr 4, 2018 at 4:47 PM
BOSTON — Federal prosecutors seeking to disqualify an attorney for
former state Sen. Brian Joyce from his upcoming corruption trial have
earned a rebuke from dozens of lawyers and several legal organizations
who accuse them of trying to to broaden their ability to have
defendants’ lawyers removed.
Prosecutors had argued that attorney Howard M. Cooper, founding
partner at Todd & Weld in Boston, should be stripped from Joyce’s
defense team at trial because Cooper has unwittingly helped Joyce
cover up some of his corrupt activities by submitting false statements
to the state Ethics Commission, making Cooper a potential witness to
Joyce’s crimes. But in an amicus brief submitted earlier this week, a
collection of lawyers and legal organizations argue that such thinking
would erode defendants’ Sixth Amendment right to their chosen counsel
and interfere with attorneys’ ability to represent their clients while
criminal charges are pending.
“Granting the present motion would threaten ethical and effective
advocacy by counsel in numerous other cases,” the brief reads. “It
would encourage the government to seek to disqualify counsel more
frequently in any of the array of circumstances in which defense
counsel may advocate on a client’s behalf and might present what the
government may later claim to be inaccurate information.”
The battle over the future of Joyce’s legal representation comes as
the former Milton Democrat faces a 113-count indictment accusing him
of turning his Beacon Hill office into a money-making venture where he
traded legislation and political influence for more than $1 million in
kickbacks, hundreds of pounds of free coffee and a 2014 Jeep. He was
arrested on the charges this past December and released on $250,000
bond.
A little more than a month after Joyce’s arrest, federal prosecutors
indicated that they would seek to disqualify Cooper from representing
Joyce at trial and could call him to testify about several statements
he made to the ethics commission on Joyce’s behalf. Some of those
statements had addressed the commission’s questions about whether the
senator had received free Dunkin’ Donuts coffee in exchange for
pushing favorable legislation, whether he’d filed legislation without
disclosing that it would benefit a client, and whether he’d appeared
before a state commission while concealing his financial investment in
the company.
Prosecutors have not suggested that Cooper was aware that the
statements were false, but said that Joyce had nonetheless “entangled
Attorney Cooper in the cover-up.” In a motion filed in late February,
prosecutors argued that Joyce had used Cooper’s statements to further
his crimes, making communications between the two exempt from
attorney-client privilege.
In response, Joyce accused prosecutors of trying to disqualify his
attorney by making him into a witness even through they hadn’t shown
any need for Cooper’s testimony. Joyce said he would even stipulate
that he himself had prepared and reviewed the statements that
prosecutors say were false.
Joyce, who is a lawyer, also argued Cooper had only submitted the
statements to defend Joyce against allegations of wrongdoing and had
not been involved in setting up the corrupt deals Joyce is accused of
making. Joyce hired Cooper and his firm, Todd & Weld, in March 2015
after Boston Globe reporters began asking Joyce’s office questions.
Joyce said disqualifying Cooper would violated his Sixth Amendment
right to choose his legal counsel and force him to find a new attorney
following the loss of his job, the end of his practice and “the
exhaustion of his resources.”
“Now the government takes aim at the one attorney who has represented
him throughout, in whom he reposes the greatest trust and confidence,
and ask the Court to require him to start over with new counsel he
does not want and cannot afford,” attorneys for Joyce and Cooper said
in a motion filed on their behalf. “This would be a cruel, unfair and
clearly unconstitutional blow.”
The Boston legal community apparently agrees. In a motion filed
Monday, a group including the Massachusetts Bar Association, the
Massachusetts Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, the American
Civil Liberties Union of Massachusetts and 71 individual attorneys
argued that the prosecutors’ request had “far-reaching and troubling
Sixth Amendment implications,” potentially opening the door for
prosecutors to have defense attorneys removed from a case by claiming
that they had previously presented inaccurate information on their
client’s behalf. The Boston Bar Association is seeking to file a
separate amicus brief.
“We believe the government’s motion threatens the constitutionally
protected right of a lawyer to present a client’s defense to courts
and to government agencies,” Jon Albano, president-elect of the Boston
Bar Association, said in a statement. “A lawyer should not be
disqualified for presenting a client’s side of a case when there is no
evidence that the lawyer knew the client was not telling the truth.”

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

Subject: Fwd: Re: This is who I am Bobby Baby. Read it and weep.
I had to respond to this. Brian Gaudet should have read my last email before bouncing it back to me with his insults. I was already gone. At least this Frenchman, sounds more like a proper Maritimer. Yet if he was going to spout off to me he should have been man enough to say it front of the rest of you too. Let us all see if he has truly Billy Gates blocking me after trying to pick a fight with me. Yahoo will tell the tale on that. That said, I do admire that he defends his wife's name and is willing to fight about it even if he does not understand the issues. That is honourable but dumb. I was confused that the email address said two mech so I suspect that he may be a mechanic just like me and not any sort of lawyer or newsman either. I like that as well.
It seems he has been raised on the four F's just like me. Only thing is I ain't hiding behind an electronic mask like he said. If he had bothered to read I had even inserted my phone number. I will be coming to Sackville very soon but by then your protests will likely be over and I would be met with the indifference that I was faced with last year. So I will bother you all no more even though I will be forwarding and blogging this email in many other places. It is the same methods that the locked out people employed to bring CBC to the table. they have no right to put down my actions against them. I do not wish to speak to the CBC or the employees about a lawsuit I am filing against the Crown because of their actions against me. That would be kinda dumb even for a Maritimer don't you think? I would rather have spoken to pissed off people CBC had locked out of work. It made far more sense to me.
I have many friends in the Sackville area. Perhaps Frenchy should ask around about me to some mechanics he may know to see if most folks who know me well think me to be a liar. He should not rely on CBC to find out the truth about me. To offset any confrontations from people he did not know, Frenchy should have told his wife not to use his email address. If he did not want to be bothered by people she and her other CBC buddies had ignored last year during the last federal election he should have told me out of the gate that he was not his wife. She could have gotten her own hotmail account like my eleven year old in Amherst just did. Instead she used her husband's email to tell the world on the internet that she was actively protesting being out of work? She was soliticiting our support for her plight but in the next electronic breath her husband proves that they care about nobody else? CBC and all of its reporters are the bullshitters in this matter not me. They are self centered greedy bastards also.
CBC does have a mandate to give all people running for a seat in Parliament equal time not just the people the reporters want to win. That is the law and their mandate as a Crown Corp. In case you are reading this Brian Gaudet talk tough all you wish. I don't scare easy because I am too dumb to know fear. Ask the Secret Service who tried to take me away to Cuba over two years ago or the jailers who threw me in the hole last year because I was pretty pissed off if I am a chickenshit or not. Because I display no fear people label me as crazy in order to make themselves feel better about their own cowardice. I have walked the walk for far too long to be frightened by anyone now. I live each day as my last. Only integrity surprises me now. It is a rare thing to find combined with age and power.
If you don't believe me or think I am harrassing you in any way why not call the RCMP or sue me French?. Bring along this email to prove how I have offended you. I will love to argue the Crown about it in court. I will bring along what I served upon the CBC in Saint John while I was running for Parliament last year. It should make for an interesting argument that CBC will not report. Their lawyers have not answered me yet but many others have and know tha CBC got my material too. It appears that i must sue to get an answer as to why the CBC ignored its mandate.
Frenchy I would prefer to meet your lawyer face to face in court in a civil lawsuit rather than duke it out on the street with you and inspire another criminal matter. Besides I have too much to lose even if I won such a senseless thing in court or in the street. You are another ordinary asshole like me. There is no need to battle with you. I am getting too old for such nonsense now but I will certainly defend myself from anyone. If you wish to pursue the matter be forewarned that I don't fight fair anymore. If perchance I lose I am very big on getting even. My battles are never over until that happens. What I teach my son also holds true for me. I tell him to never back down from anyone because it is too expensivee to one's own pride and you will have to run from bullies your whole life. In truth a brawl proves nothing at all except how dumb we can be. Nevertheless like hockey fighting can be a great sport sometimes. Confused? Me too. what do you teach your son Frenchy?
Like you Frenchy I prefer face to face confrontations but only in front of many witnesses these days so that nobody can accuse me of saying or doing anything wrong. If you wish to fight, call the cops first and announce your intentions then all that I ask of you is that you throw the first swing so that my actions will be in defence. Is that OK with you Frenchy??????
You are right about one thing though. Nobody cares. However it is not stupid of me to piss people off. It is merely one of those things I do that nobody seems to appreciate. It works like a charm to get others to prove to me that they are assholes. The big difference between an asshole like me and an asshole like you is that I care about what happens to others. You don't. If you disagree why not help another Maritimer by the name of Byron Prior. He needs all the help he can get. I don't. You don't even have to Google him. Read the portion of his his web site that was at the bottom of the second email I sent to you today. If you have any heart in you at all pick up the phone and call him to see if he is for real for yourself. I did the best I could to help him with his litigation against Billy Matthews and all his Newfy buddies while your wife's buddy Ian Hannamansing who is from Sackville only called Byron a liar while he was doing his big special in Newfoundland about justice last year.
If my memory of what Byron said about the show that night is correct, your wife's fellow CBC workers carefully edited Byron from any of their tapes shown on TV while the Attorney General Tommy Marshall's son sat right by his side and made it on TV. In my opinion the CBC dudes in Newfoundland should all be fired ASAP for that reason alone. That fact has nothing to do with me and my concerns whatsoever. All Canadians were denied the opportunity to hear what Byron Prior had to say about how justice is being served in the Maritimes. It should make no difference at all whether or not Hannamansing thought of Byron a lair. We all had the right to hear what he had to say after CBC had invited the public they work for to speak on TV. How else can we decide the truth about anything if we do not hear from all sides? This is a Democracy isn't it is free speech a myth on public TV? CBC does not have the right to to be judge and jury simply because they have the ability to edit tapes.
Get it Frenchy???????????
Here is my phone number again Frenchy 506 434 1379 if you wish to ask me any questions. I will not bother to look up yours. I do not care about you think anymore if you don't wish to speak man to man. I will do as you requested and merely leave you all alone just like I said in the last email I ever intended to send to any of the CBC crowd. Now that they are comfortably back at work editing the truth for Paul Martin's benefit not ours, I know it would be fruitless to approach them anymore.
Before you give me a call Frenchy, perhaps you should review email that you bounced back to me. For your education here is my face as well and an article about me in a local paper then ask yourself why the CBC reporters ignored an interesting little circus.
I ain't hiding and I ain't a lair. I am just another Maritime asshole just like you Frenchy. You should understand me as being a simple, sincere and serious asshole even if you do not believe that I am a man with some pretty serious beefs against the corrupt justice system and the CBC that helps it in its malice towards us all. It is late and my rambling rant is over. As I wrote this I kept remmbering my encounters with the Frenchy from the far side of my hometown of Dorchester last year. His name is Charles LeBlanc. Man that bastard is full of hot air. I had to get this off my chest. I will sleep better with you dismissed from my mind too. Good luck with your own conscience from now on. Say Hey to Chucky Leblanc for me will ya> Like you he is blocking my emails after sending me a flood of them last year. I will lay odds your wife knows of him. The Maritimes ain't that big a place and he is quite a bragger.

Raising a Little Hell- Lively Debate Provokes Crowd
By Erin Hatfield
"If you don't like what you got, why don't you change it? If your world is all screwed up, rearrange it."
The 1979 Trooper song Raise a Little Hell blared on the speakers at the 8th Hussars Sports Center Friday evening as people filed in to watch the Fundy candidates debate the issues. It was an accurate, if unofficial, theme song for the debate.
The crowd of over 200 spectators was dwarfed by the huge arena, but as they chose their seats, it was clear the battle lines were drawn. Supporters of Conservative candidate Rob Moore naturally took the blue chairs on the right of the rink floor while John Herron's Liberalswent left. There were splashes of orange, supporters of NDP Pat Hanratty, mixed throughout. Perhaps the loudest applause came from a row towards the back, where supporters of independent candidate David Amos sat.
The debate was moderated by Leo Melanson of CJCW Radio and was organized by the Sussex Valley Jaycees. Candidates wereasked a barrage of questions bypanelists Gisele McKnight of the Kings County Record and Lisa Spencer of CJCW.
Staying true to party platforms for the most part, candidates responded to questions about the gun registry, same sex marriage, the exodus of young people from the Maritimes and regulated gas prices. Herron and Moore were clear competitors,constantly challenging each other on their answers and criticizing eachothers’ party leaders. Hanratty flew under the radar, giving short, concise responses to the questions while Amos provided some food for thought and a bit of comic relief with quirky answers. "I was raised with a gun," Amos said in response to the question of thenational gun registry. "Nobody's getting mine and I'm not paying 10 cents for it."
Herron, a Progressive Conservative MP turned Liberal, veered from his party'splatform with regard to gun control. "It was ill advised but well intentioned," Herron said. "No matter what side of the house I am on, I'm voting against it." Pat Hanratty agreed there were better places for the gun registry dollars to be spent.Recreational hunters shouldn't have been penalized by this gun registry," he said.
The gun registry issues provoked the tempers of Herron and Moore. At one point Herron got out of his seat and threw a piece of paper in front of Moore. "Read that," Herron said to Moore, referring to the voting record of Conservative Party leader Steven Harper. According to Herron, Harper voted in favour of the registry on the first and second readings of the bill in 1995. "He voted against it when it counted, at final count," Moore said. "We needa government with courage to register sex offenders rather than register the property of law abiding citizens."
The crowd was vocal throughout the evening, with white haired men and women heckling from the Conservative side. "Shut up John," one woman yelled. "How can you talk about selling out?" a man yelled whenHerron spoke about his fear that the Conservatives are selling farmers out.
Although the Liberal side was less vocal, Kings East MLA Leroy Armstrong weighed in at one point. "You’re out of touch," Armstrong yelled to Moore from the crowd when the debate turned to the cost of post-secondary education. Later in the evening Amos challenged Armstrong to a public debate of their own. "Talk is cheap. Any time, anyplace," Armstrong responded.
As the crowd made its way out of the building following the debate, candidates worked the room. They shook hands with well-wishers and fielded questions from spectators-all part of the decision-making process for the June 28 vote.
Cutline – David Amos, independent candidate in Fundy, with some of his favourite possessions—motorcycles.

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

Hey
To put it simply in answer to your dumb request Mr. Sharpe. My answer is HELL NO. That is a nice as I can put it. I just called Katie Nicholson and introduced myself. I will it leave you to wonder whom I will call next. Your clue is that you sent them greetings as a Locked-Out brother in sunny St. Johns.
To elaborate, I must say that I definitely will not go away. Look how you people act since you have been locked out of your jobs. You behave far worse tha I. In fact I may be coming to Newfoundland very soon to copy the material in the dockets of Newfoundland Supreme Court in the Billy Matthews versus Byron Prior matter as it pertains to me me. I need hard copy before I sue the CBC and the Crown. My question right now is hey Bobby Baby why don't I sue you too? Maybe I will come around and watch your people do their song and dance for their job. Perhaps you should try meeting me toe to toe and looking me in the eye if you want to meet a simple sincere and very serious man and then dare me to. I will be real easy to pick out. I am the hairy bastard in the Kilt once worn by a good friend of mine Ol Tom. He is one of the last of the Ladies from Hell. I wear it with his blessings. too many of his friends fought and died many years ago so that shit like this should not happen in our own nativeland. Even the Yankee bastard I call Deputy dog has met Ol Tom long before I dated the Yankee's sister. You bear the same first name as Deputy Dog Bobby Baby and you just forwarded all them your dumb little email that jerked this mangey old dog's chain bigtime. Need I say that my wife did not like receiving your response? She has warned me not to send out her email address anymore. Like her I do not listen real good sometimes but I did accomadate her on her birthday at least.
Bobby Baby if you want someone's shoulder to cry on give the lady Liza Frulla a call. She is a former sister of yours correct? I think she may have some job security issues when there is finally a federal election called. The sooner the better for me and the NDP. Frulla did not answer me so I must remain a man of my word and pass this email on as I promised her I would. Quite honestly I did not expect her to answer me. Everybody knows that she does whatever Paul Martin and the warroom dudes within PCO/PMO offices tell her to do. I needed the proof of contact thats all because I was banking on the fact the warroom will tell her to ignore me. I was just playing her like a fiddlewhile fishing for response from yo sos like you and hopefully an ehtical person or two. Paul Dugas who likes to play the fiddle in the town where I was born should certainly get my joke. On the one year anniversary of Ashcroft visiting Canada and Wayne Easter's office talking to me, he joined a forum to yap about violins. I found the coincidence strangely comical. If Paul Dugas or anyone within the CBC had elected to report my doings on that day instead of talking about fiddlin etc, we would all be better off right now. The CBC recived received my material July 16th 2002, the very same day Argeo P. Cellucci did. That was long before the War on Iraq had started. Have your conscience dwell on that sad fact for a minute or two before you answer a lot of ghosts in your Heaven or Hell someday. As you can see I study people a bit and I already have a pretty good idea who will be naughty and who may be nice. I learned long ago cops, lawyers, bankers, priests and newsmen never are. So I attack them out of the gate but only in an ethical fashion byway of the written word and carefully worded phone calls. Newsmen should know that the word is mightier than the sword. You make your living by it you should die by it as well. Please fall on it ASAP or use it to hang the rest of the corrupt bastards. How is that for a challenge?
Furthermore I like to do everything in threes just like they purportly do in Heaven and Hell. Now that Suzanne Gaudet, Paul Dugas from the town where I was born and you the Newfy Bobby Baby have responded to me you have sealed the fate of the Crown Corp of CBC for me. I need no more responses from the likes of you. Why spoil my own fun? I will likely not tell you anymore about what I am up to after I send the next email and print both of them as evidence to use in Federal Court. I will sue the Minister who oversees your conduct and none of you can ever say that you did not know the truth of my concerns before I did. The CRTC can go to Hell for all I care. Starting with their crooked little Minister many of the public servants under her supervision need to be replaced if the public trust in your profession is ever going to be upheld.
Even though the unethical people at CBC, CTV and all other media pretend to have no understanding of what I mean, a lot of Maritimers understand me quite well already. Blogging is truly the only way to go these days. Watch out. Ordinary folks will replace you in a New York minute. Why else has CBC locked you out I might ask? It appears to me that only the Frenchmen has job security EH? Why do you think that is? Better yet look how quick Bloggers embarrassed Dan Rather before you call me a dreamer. That said look to find the text of this email in many Blogs in the near future and you can study the work of a very fierce political animal. All you should have to do is Google your own name or email address. Turn about is fair play. EH? If you don't like please sue me just like Billy Matthews did with Byron Prior. Google that name some time then tell me all is well in Newfoundland.
It is my fellow Maritimers that I want pissed off at the CBC etc. and all the corrupt politicians they have chosen to support. I do not give two hoots about you as a man Bobby Baby. To me you are just a dumb little pawn in a big big game. I am taking on the Masters of War alone despite the laughter from the likes of you. IF you want some insight in to my character have Rudyard Kipling explain my nature to you within his wonderful poem called IF. I take his advice not your. thus you have the reason behind my simple answer of NO. What I would prefer though Newfy is for you to call me a liar in a public forum. I dare ya. You do not seem all that sharp to me so I will warn you I was raised to the F's of the Maritimes that your former Premier explained to the Yankees years ago. I found it funny the chickenshit named only three. So much for being politically correct EH? He came close but no cigar. Castro will get my joke someday soon. Here is me phone number 506 434-1379. Use it Newfy if you dare to use a phone with a caller ID. Otherwise do not bother at all. just find me in the Blogs.
On a personal note Bill, I liked your voicemail to me. You and I should have a long talk sometime. I think it would be best to do in public in front of many witnesses who have no idea what we are talking about. I am up against some pretty bad acting Feds right now. I am sorry to say that I cannot afford to trust anyone. A very busy Bar or Diner where ordinary folk like me hang out are my favorite haunts. I know of a few down your way. Maybe I will give ya call when I am heading to your town. Better yet for the benefit of your party why not come see me ASAP? I ain't hard to find ask the RCMP. They have been watching me like a hawk.

Suzanne Gaudet is just like Bill Hamilton, She plays the see no evil, hear no evil speak no evil game. While Maurice Doiron, Murray Meldrum and Paul Duhas just opt to play dumb. What must Liza Frulla think of all this. From my point of view you do nothing so why not replace you with nothing at at. It is cheaper for the Taxpayer to keep piping in the BBC. Bullshit is Bullshit no matter what the accent.

Hey Lady Liza Frulla
I got the following response from the email I just sent to one of your underlings Ms. Macphee so I called the number she suggested and got the usual governmental voicemail from her help so I left a message. I got a call back just now from her assistant at 819 997-0313. I told her that I would send this email to you and she affirmed my right to do so. However when she attempted to lay down the law to me, I told her I would see her in court. I prefer to argue their lawyers in court rather than spit and chew with civil servants on the phone on my dime. More importantly to me is that I responded to you her Minister byway of email because I require hard copy for evidence to use during the pending arguments of the complaint against the Crown that I do intend to file in Federal Court in Fredericton New Brunswick soon. I am sending you two more emails after this one because my lawyer advised awhile ago to try hard to make my matters well none to the media. From this point forward as the Minister who oversees the CRTC who can never saw that you did not know what many other have known for quite sometime. For what is worth in my humble opinion if you play your political cards right you could be our first Lady Prime Minister.
I will give you Ms. Frulla the weekend to respond to me before I send this particular email to many others but many others will be receiving what Ms. Macphee aready got. I do not care what her assistant Ms Gable may think. She can gab to somebody else about what she wishes to inform me of. I have done my homework and need no advice from the likes of her. What Ms. Gable may not understand about me is that unlike Paul Martin I am a man of my word. I am just like him in one regard. I am also a very fierce political animal who is is equal and opposite in all things that define men. Martin is evil. I am not. Martin is a very wealthy lawyer. I am a just poor layman. Martin is labeled as Honourable and I am called as crazy as a loon. However I am a man Martin is not. He is a snake. I am indeed a very Proud Canadian who is definitely not proud of the people who speak for me. Get it Ms. Frulla?
As Minister Responsible for Status of Women, you really should make certain that the integrity of all women in government does not come into question. From my point of view some women such as the Yankee Judges, Sidney Hanlon, Paula Carey and Cristina Harms for example do much harm to the reputation of your gender. What they have done to my little family in the USA in order to support the rampant public corruption in Canada and the USA should offend anyone with half a mind at all. My wife is a woman too after all. She has never done any wrong at all. Her only offence to the justice system was to stand against the politcally connected family members who had stolen her interests because no lawyer would dare speak for her. When she had her breakdown I took up the fight as any proud husband and father should. It is not only my right but my duty to protect my little Clan. The biggest difference in our genders is that men are not so quick to cry or back down from any bully. My wife is a very tender soul while I can be as mean as a the snake Paul Martin is.
The New World of the Internet has afforded me quite a weapon to do battle with against the likes of Paul Martin and all his crooked cohorts. There is still a place in this Old World for a fierce ethical warrior such as I. Otherwise crooked men and women who are merely low people in high places to me will walk all over us common ordinary folk. I am no physical threat to anyone. I do battle with the word not the sword. It is mightier. Anyone who once worked for CBC should understand that simple fact.
Furthermore this email is definitely not Spam. I am greatly offended when the powers that be label it as such and block it to protect their own greedy interests. Whether you or anyone else believe me or not, my communications are in the best interest of the public. I feel confident that it is much to the chagrin of the people who have failed the public trust in their elected and politically appointed positions. I suspect that is why Nancy Gabler sounded so pissed off just like the tone of Hélène Lapointe's email to me . Rest assured many Canadians will be reading this email after I sent it to you. It is me on the phone to your office right now after that I am putting a bunch of material in the mail and serving many lawyers in hand. My phone call is an ethical effort to introduce myself in order to prove to you that I am sincere.
I know what I have sent to many Members of Parliament during the course of the past two years and I keep very good record to prove simple truths. For certain you just made my list of people who may be naughty or nice. After Xmas Martin must see that Gomery tells his tale and the Canadian people will decide once again who they think is naughty and nice. As as the freedom loving individual that I am I will decide long before then in the hope that my opinions become well known before an election is called. Whereas the people cannot depend on the CBC etc. to report all things of public interest, I will rely on the Blog.
I have no doubt whatsoever that your buddies within the CBC reported heavily your run for a seat in Parliament last year. As one of our newest Ministers besides Belinda Stronach ask them for your own education why the CBC failed in their mandate to report my bid for a seat as well. Better yet if you want to have fun take it out with the nasty dudes inside the warroom of the PCO/PMO offices. I will wager my name is the biggest curse word in Parliament right now. I am certain that is why it is not said over the airwaves or put in print. From now on at least you can never say that you did not know my name too.
I am begging ya, please do not be like two other women who once worked for the CBC Adrienne Clarkson and Michaelle Jean. Nobody is that dumb. They must have deliberatly ignored my laments because Paul Martin directed them to. May I suggest that you read this entire email from the point of view of an ethical Minister in charge of the public interest of the Canadian people? Please do the right thing despite what the leader of your party may wish. If not as you talk the talk on TV etc in the coming months about the doings of CBC and Parliament etc I will walk the walk and complain of many politicans in court. History has proven that in the end the truth usually wins out even if it is ignored in court in the present tense.
By the way guess who is campaigning hard for a fall election? To have an election on Boxing Day is righteously fine by me. I ain't religious. Ask the Holy See or George W. Bush why. I dare ya.

Excerpt from CTV.ca, Canada on Sep 27, 2005 of news by the Canadian Press
"CBC employees in Quebec and Moncton, N.B., are not affected by the lockout.
Information pickets set up early in the day under pouring rain didn't try to stop Prime Minister Paul Martin or Adrienne Clarkson, the Governor General, as they headed in for a morning news conference on Parliament Hill.
Clarkson, who will be replaced Tuesday by Michaelle Jean, governor-general designate, leaned out of her car to speak with CBC pickets.
At the rally, locked-out workers presented petitions signed by thousands of CBC fans calling for an end to the labour dispute.
Heritage Minister Liza Frulla acknowledged the anger of the Canadian public, telling the rally that cabinet ministers have been hearing demands that something be done to get the network back in business.
"All summer, we had messages from the population out there, messages from all through Canada, saying how they miss you," she told the rally. "
I just had to insert the campaign manager for Oscar Doucet for Leader Hélène Lapointe's answer in comical font. It is too funny to do other wise. How is is that dor the local NDP trying hard to play dumb?

The sad part is so do you people. I am gonna tell everybody the truth about what CTV and CBC have refused to report for years for the benefit of the rampant public corruption you support for your own personal gain. Need I say that I am happy the crooked CBC dudes are locked out of work right now? It appears to me that blogging is the only way to go these days. What say you? Call me a liar after you hear me speak in Federal Court in Fredericton in the near future. I dare ya to have your lawyer Martine Turcotte explain why Robert C. Pozen has become George W.

I figured you would do nothing to rock the Queen's boat for reasons of job security. However even you and your pension funds rely on the ethics of the Yankees employed by the SEC in the USA. Perhaps you should side with me ASAP. My kids need a roof over their heads. I am not above suing anyone to get one including the Queen and the Holy See. However it is your job to prosecute criminals not mine. Correct?
"Ted Tax and the Department's Atlantic Regional Office (ARO) were honoured at a Nova Scotia Lieutenant Governor's Awards Ceremony. Tax was presented with a Certificate of Recognition for "contribution to the Reserve Force by taking positive action to assist its employees who are reservists in maintaining their commitments to the Canadian Forces." Following September 11, 2001, there was an increase in the demand for military legal officers on operational deployments. Major John Smithers, a lawyer with the Tax Law Services Section of the ARO, was granted military leave to serve on an overseas mission."
For the record this is the text of the cover letter sent to Baker etc. Lets see what Mr. Speaker has to say now. I believe he is an ex cop ain't he? Lets see if he remembers how to uphold the law. If not don't you think it is high time that the lawyers in the NDP give the crooked Conservative Goverment the Boot? Everybody knows they are lapdogs for George W. Bush. Why else did he make it a point to fly down and see them last year and snub Paul Martin and his cohorts in Ottawa?

RE: Public Corruption
Hey,
Apparently everybody wanted to play dumb about my concerns and allegations so that Humpty Dumpty Martin’s minority government would not fall and they could party hardy while the Queen was in Canada. As you all know months ago, I began faxing, emailing and calling the eight other Lt. Governors I had yet to cross paths with. I fully informed them of my indignation towards the Governor General Clarkson and two of her other Maritime Lieutenants Roberts and Chaisson before the latest wave of bad acting Yankees invaded my home in the USA without warrants or due process if law.
I made certain all of the provincial Attorney Generals and Premiers can never deny the fact that I tried to make them well aware of my concerns and allegations in order to make everybody should sit up and pay attention. Not one person from any of your offices ever responded in any fashion at all. You can be certain that I expected the deliberate ignorance. It is one of the oldest tricks in the book that lawyers employ in order to play their wicked game of see no evil, hear no evil speak no evil. I knew it would happen particularly after Nova Scotia’s Conflict of Interest Commissioner Merlin Nunn had blocked my emails before I had contacted you. I have no doubt it helped to relieve him of his ethical dilemma before the NS NDP decided what to do about their chance to unseat the Conservatives. I have no doubt whatsoever many lawyers in Canada were praying that the Suffolk County District Attorney would have me back in the loony bin by April 28th and that all your troubles would go away. I opted to let you all have your way and did not bother you anymore until the Queen had left our shores and Parliament quit for the summer. Now it is my turn to have some fun and raise a little Political Hell.
While the Queen, Clarkson and Martin where all having a grand old time on the Canadian dime my little Clan went through living hell down here. Trust me, lawyers need to learn some new tricks. Ignorance is no excuse to the law or me. Making some Canadian Attorney Generals and their political buddies show me their arses is child’s play to me after all that I have experienced in the last few years. If you doubt me ask Michael J. Bryant and Yvon Marcoux why I am so pissed at their bosses and the DHS. Then check my work for yourself. If the tag team of John Ashcroft and Tom Ridge could not intimidate me, believe me you people don’t have a prayer. Both of those dudes have quit their jobs but I am still standing and squaring off against their replacements now. If it were not for all the decent folks I know, the snotty ones like you would make me feel ashamed to be a Canadian. There is no shortage of lawyers. It is just that ethical ones that are rare birds, that’s all. You must know how easily the Canadian people can replace you with other lawyers if it becomes widely known how willing you are to ignore crime if it means some fancy dude may be compelled to suffer for his own wrongs.
The justice system is supposed to be self-policing. It should clean up its own act rather than trying to maintain a false mask of integrity for lawyers that are obviously criminals. It is way beyond my understanding why you people would choose to support the likes of Paul Martin, Adrienne Clarkson, T. Alex Hickman and Billy Matthews if you are not all as crooked as hell as well. The deliberate ignorance and double-talk employed by the wealthy few to dodge simple truths is absolutely offensive to ordinary people blessed with the rare attribute called common sense. Not all folks are like sheep.
Paul Martin’s latest tricks make for a very fine example of truly how bad things are. Even amidst wholesale scandals breaking out hell, west and crooked everywhere lawyers and politicians just close ranks and stand together as thick as the thieves they are. I stress tested the ethics of the ladies of the Bloc Quebecois and the Gomery Inquiry immediately after Martin’s carefully orchestrated little circus in Parliament on May 19th was a matter of history. Lets just say I was not surprised to not hear one peep in response from anyone other than to get a call from an unidentified and very nervous but cocky Yankee lawyer claiming that Tony Blair was mad at me.
Pursuant to my phone calls, emails and faxes please find enclosed as promised exactly the same hard copy of what I sent to the Canadian Ambassadors Allan Rock and Franky Boy McKenna and a couple of nasty FBI agents on May 12th just before an interesting event in front of our home in Milton. I have also included a copy of four letters I have received in response since then that you may find interesting to say the least. I also sent you a copy of a letter sent to a lady Ms. Condolezza Rice whom our former Prime Minister Brian Mulroney considers to be the most powerful woman in the world. The CD of the copy of police surveillance tape # 139 is served upon all the above named Attorney Generals as officers of the court in order that it may be properly investigated.
I will not bother you with the details of what I am sending to you byway of the certified US Mail because I will be serving identical material to many other Canadian Authorities in hand and tell them I gave this stuff to you first and enclose a copy of this letter. All that is important to me right now is that I secure proof that this mail was sent before I make my way back home to the Maritimes. However I will say I am also enclosing a great deal more material than what Allan Rock had received in the UN. Some of it is in fact the same material the two maritime lawyers, Rob Moore and Franky Boy McKenna in particular received, while I was up home running for Parliament last year. Things have changed greatly in the past year so I have also included a few recent items to spice things up for you. I am tired of trying to convince people employed in law enforcement to uphold the law. So all I will say for now is deal will your own conscience and be careful how you respond to this letter. If you do not respond. Rest assured I will do my best to sue you some day. Ignorance is no excuse to the law or me.

The enclosed letter from The Public Service Integrity Office, whose boss recently testified before the Gomery Inquiry and following quotes prove why I must speak out.
"Well what do you expect?" said Le Hir in reaction. "Anybody who had been involved in that kind of thing isn't going to admit readily, or willfully, to having participated." Asked why he's waited 10 years to come out with his allegations, Le Hir said he was "sworn to secrecy." "I'm breaking that oath, and the only way I could have been relieved by that oath was by a judge in a court saying, 'Mr. Lehir, I understand that you have made an oath of secrecy; and you're hereby relieved of that oath."
"Mr. Wallace added that police and the courts, not internal rules, are best-equipped to deal with bureaucrats who cross the line and break the law. But Judge Gomery did not appear satisfied. "It takes a major scandal to get the police involved," he said. "It is not in the nature of the public service to call in the police."
Everybody knows that in order to protect the rights and interests of my Clan and to sooth my own soul, I have proven many times over that all lawyers, law enforcement authorities, and politicians in Canada and the USA are not worthy of the public trust. I maintain that their first order of business is to protect the evil longstanding system they have created for their own benefit rather than the people they claim to serve. Call me a liar and put it in writing. I Double Dog Dare ya.
Baker got my material. So did everyone else. Only the Attorney General in Quecbec refused it. I bet our newest Governor General knows why. It is likely for the same reason she will not accept my emails. It should be obvious to anyone why I must sue the Crown.
