Alberta NDP would likely form majority if election held today, new poll suggests
Support for governing UCP has plummeted across the province, with NDP leading in Calgary

EDITOR'S NOTE: CBC News and The Road Ahead commissioned this public opinion research in March, just as the third wave of COVID-19 cases was building in Alberta.
As with all polls, this one is a snapshot in time.
This analysis is one in a series of articles to come out of this research. More stories are to follow.
If an election in Alberta were held today, the NDP would likely win a majority, as support for the governing United Conservative Party plummets, according to a new poll commissioned by CBC News.
The poll, conducted in March and April, suggests all parts of the province are souring on the current government, with declines in Calgary, smaller municipalities and rural areas. But it also shows a fractured electorate, with a sizable chunk of voters looking for a third option.
It also shows Premier Jason Kenney's approval falling precipitously since he was first elected.
The findings are more bad news for a party that has struggled to overcome persistent economic challenges and the pandemic, and which is now facing a caucus revolt over public health restrictions. They could indicate a turbulent near future as Alberta navigates a socio-economic and political crossroads.
The numbers
Across the province, compared to the 2019 election that brought the newly formed UCP to power, support for the governing party has cratered from 55 per cent of voters to 33 per cent of respondents in this month's poll.
The poll, conducted by Janet Brown Opinion Research on behalf of CBC News, suggests declines in support across all regions, with the NDP surging ahead of the UCP in the key battleground of Calgary and the UCP plummeting in more rural parts of the province.
In Calgary, 41 per cent of respondents now say they would vote for the NDP, compared to 34 per cent for the UCP.
That's a considerable shift from the 2019 election, when 55 per cent voted for the UCP and 32 per cent for the NDP.
Outside the cities of Calgary and Edmonton, support for the government has sunk 28 points — from 67 per cent voter support to 39 per cent of respondents saying they'd vote UCP now.
Nestled among the numbers, however, is about 25 per cent of respondents who say they're not interested in voting for either of the leading parties.
Fully 11 per cent of respondents said they don't know who to vote for, leaving the door open for a third party.
Edmonton remains an NDP bastion with 50 per cent support, compared to 26 per cent support for the UCP, according to the poll.
"What's interesting about this poll, because there's been other polls that have shown the NDP moving ahead on a provincial level, but that's really only been because they've had such a tremendous lead in Edmonton," said pollster Janet Brown.
"But now that they're leading in both Edmonton and Calgary, that sets them up for winning government."
But the findings aren't just grim news for the governing party. The poll also suggests a lack of faith in Kenney's leadership.
The leaders
Prior to being elected, Kenney was riding high, with a previous Janet Brown poll showing 36 per cent of respondents were highly impressed with the new UCP leader in March 2018.
That honeymoon is truly over.
In the latest poll, only 16 per cent of respondents say they're highly impressed with Kenney, while 53 per cent are not impressed.
NDP Leader Rachel Notley's numbers have remained stable, with 34 per cent of respondents saying they're highly impressed with her and 36 per cent saying they're not.
So how does that play out in the rough and tumble world of Alberta politics?
What it means
Melanee Thomas, a professor of political science at the University of Calgary, said she looks at the results and sees instability for the UCP and stability for the NDP.
"What's interesting with the NDP is that they've never dropped below a certain level, like in the low- to mid-30s. That seems to be their floor and all they need to do is swing up to like 41, 43 [per cent]," she said.
"I think the same thing with the UCP. I think that's a credible way to think about it, where now they're probably finding their floor. And so now the debate is about who gets that swing?"
Brown says the strength of the NDP isn't necessarily as secure as the numbers suggest.
"They've pulled ahead, mainly because the UCP has been falling behind," she said.
Duane Bratt, a political scientist at Mount Royal University in Calgary, points out that much of the support that has bled from the UCP has not gone toward the NDP.
Across the province, the 22-point plunge for the UCP resulted in a seven-point increase for the NDP. Outside Calgary and Edmonton, a 28-point drop saw a nine-point rise for the NDP.
"That tells me that there's a ceiling, and that Rachel Notley and the NDP have hit their ceiling," he said.
"You can't win in a two-party system with 40 per cent. You can win in a multi-party system, but you can't win in a two-party system."
It remains to be seen if the current turmoil in the UCP, and that significant group of unsatisfied voters, will lead to a more scattered political landscape.
2 years to go
It is still two years before the next Alberta election, with untold challenges and changes that could take place in the interim. The poll and its findings are a snapshot in time.
Bratt says, despite all the controversies and challenges currently facing the UCP, there is still the chance for a win in 2022 — even with an embattled Kenney at the helm.
"As bad as it may appear at first blush, when I start to think about it a bit more — what is life like in two years' time? What is life like post-vaccination? What is life like when the economy starts to come back?" he said.
CBC News' random survey of 1,200 Albertans was conducted between March 15 to April 10, 2020 by Edmonton-based Trend Research under the direction of Janet Brown Opinion Research (http://planetjanet.ca/special-projects/). The sample is representative along regional, age, and gender factors. The margin of error is +/-2.8 percentage points, 19 times out of 20. For subsets, the margin of error is larger. The survey used a hybrid methodology that involved contacting survey respondents by telephone and giving them the option of completing the survey at that time, at another more convenient time, or receiving an email link and completing the survey online.

UCP caucus revolt latest in a long history of splintering conservative parties in Alberta
There is something peculiar about the culture of Alberta and its right-of-centre party politics
Alberta Premier Jason Kenney faced a caucus revolt last week when 17 UCP MLAs endorsed a public letter condemning the government's latest COVID-19 restrictions. As Duane Bratt and Bruce Foster write, intra-party fights among conservatives is nothing new in Alberta. (Jason Franson/Canadian Press)
This column is an opinion from Duane Bratt and Bruce Foster, political scientists at Mount Royal University in Calgary. For more information about CBC's Opinion section, please see the FAQ.
Last week, a caucus revolt enveloped the Jason Kenney government in Alberta.
A group of 17 United Conservative Party MLAs, all from outside the large cities of Calgary and Edmonton, endorsed a public letter on Wednesday condemning the COVID-19 restrictions that were reintroduced by Premier Kenney. This caucus revolt, which has been brewing for months, has considerable potential to lead to a splintering of the UCP.
This revolt was not due solely to provincial COVID-19 restrictions (which have hit all of Canada), nor was it triggered by the sizable drop in popularity of the Kenney government, as seen in multiple polls. After all, the approval ratings of the Pallister government in Manitoba and the Ford government in Ontario have also shown a strong decline. Yet, those government caucuses are not facing revolts from within.
Moreover, this revolt appears not to be about public opinion splits regarding COVID-19 restrictions.
Public opinion polls show that the minority of Albertans who are opposed to COVID-19 restrictions are concentrated in rural parts of the province, and ideologically, further to the right on the political spectrum. But, we find this same ideological/rural opposition to pandemic restrictions in Saskatchewan, and this comes without any internal threats to the leadership of Premier Scott Moe.
An Alberta-made battle
As we are not seeing similar revolts in the six other provinces governed by conservative parties, we suggest that the UCP's internal fracturing is not entirely a matter of the ideological disposition of the government. Rather, this is an Alberta-made internecine battle over the type, intensity, and direction of conservative policy-making, and the inability of Premier Kenney to contain and accommodate the variety of right-wing perspectives within the party.
We have previously argued that the history of conservative parties in Canada exhibits a pattern of splintering and merging at both the national and provincial levels. This is most pronounced in Alberta.
There were failed merger attempts between Alberta's Social Credit party and Progressive Conservative Party of Alberta (PCPA) in 1966, and the Wildrose Party of Alberta (WRP) and the PCPA in 2014.
More recently, the WRP and the PCPA successfully merged to form the United Conservative Party (UCP) in 2017. In less than two years then, the UCP went from an idea to merge two (sometimes hostile) conservative parties, to winning an overwhelming majority of seats in the Alberta provincial election by April 16, 2019.
However, as the recent caucus revolt suggests, the UCP, like all other right-of-centre parties in Alberta, is vulnerable to splintering apart.
Former Alberta Premier Jim Prentice and former Wildrose party Leader Danielle Smith speak to media in Edmonton in December 2014, after Smith and eight other party members crossed the floor of the provincial legislature and merged with the Tories. (Jason Franson/The Canadian Press)
A major question for us is this: Why does this splintering and merging occur more frequently within conservative parties in Alberta than elsewhere in the country?
There has been no shortage of scholarly examinations of Alberta's "unique" blend of fiscal conservatism, social conservatism, and American-style right-populism. Does this uniqueness lend itself to the constant (or inevitable) splintering and merging of right-wing parties in the province to a degree not experienced elsewhere?
Even at the level of national politics, the Alberta influence has been instrumental in shaping and re-shaping right-of-centre parties. In recent memory, the Reform Party of Canada, a largely Alberta-based, right-populist outfit challenging the conservative status quo at the national level, went from a fringe party to Official Opposition, to internal fracturing, and, in time, a major pillar of the current Conservative Party of Canada.
We note that today, the challenge to the Conservative Party is the fringe Maverick party.
Though not always successful, the same pattern of fringe party formation and dissension is a constant feature of Alberta politics. Historically, the Western Canada Concept, the Alberta Alliance, the WRP, and currently, the Wildrose Independence Party, all provided ample evidence of the ubiquity of this pattern.
Preston Manning was intimately involved in several splinter/merger efforts at both federal and provincial levels.
More receptive to populism
In his telling, this constant churn in conservative party machinations is due in large part to the settler-society patterns of Alberta, and, in no small measure, the arrival of settlers from the American Midwest to southern Alberta in the early 20th century.
According to Manning, Alberta is the newest part of the country, and its political parties were and remain more receptive to populist influences and demands. Alberta also manifests a more entrepreneurial spirit, due in large measure to the relative lack of 'old money' with its attendant elites and benefactors, as is common in central Canada.
Albertans are not as wedded to old ideas or to old parties, reasoned Manning, and remain more open to political reinvention than in other parts of the country.
Add to this the long-held skepticism, and occasional hostility of Albertans toward central Canada and the national government, and you have a pointedly un-conservative proclivity for constant change and ferment among conservative parties.
Alberta's penchant for expressing harsh dissatisfaction with the political status quo, and giving birth to a variety of protest movements and parties, infuses its brand of conservatism with an unsettled, perhaps non-doctrinal quality, where parties of long standing can suddenly find themselves under considerable pressure from upstart movements.
Not content to endure the economic, ideological or party system status-quo to the extent of their central Canadian cousins, Albertans have demonstrated a willingness to engage in a form of creative destruction of the party system.
Manning, who regards this dynamic as both a characteristic and a necessity of Alberta right-wing politics, referred to this as changing the "containers of conservatism."
Reform Party leader Preston Manning speaks to a rally in 1991. Manning was intimately involved in several splinter/merger efforts at both federal and provincial levels. (Bill Becker/The Canadian Press)
In other provinces, when conservatives gather to strategize, they are focused on their political opponents in the Liberal and/or NDP parties. But because of the sustained electoral dominance of conservative parties in Alberta (both federally and provincially) opponents were often found within an ostensible outlier wing of their own party. Internal party disagreements were thus as consequential, sometimes more so, than the differences between the parties themselves.
If these disruptive "containers of conservatism" are not managed properly, one faction of a party could well break away and form their own more doctrinally-agreeable organization.
The more strident fiscal and social conservatives in both the Reform Party and Alberta's Wildrose Party did just that, once they had distinguished themselves from what they saw as the left-leaning federal and provincial PCs.
Today, when we read the public complaints from Drew Barnes and other members of the UCP rebel caucus members, we hear similar complaints about how the Kenney UCP has turned its back on the (largely rural-based) conservative ethos, and drifted dangerously to the left.
A game of chicken
What we have characterized as an historical constant in Alberta conservative politics still exhibits compelling, and disruptive, signs of life.
At this moment, there is something of a game of chicken going on within the UCP caucus. The rebels have not crossed the floor to sit as independents; they have not joined the Wildrose Independence Party; nor are there signs that these folks want to create a new conservative party – at least not yet.
Significantly, Premier Kenney has not expelled them from the UCP caucus. That said, this impasse is inherently unstable, and hinders the ability of the premier to govern the province.
At the level of civil society during the pandemic, this internal revolt may further embolden some Albertans to disobey existing COVID-19 restrictions. The result of such actions may also constrain the ability of the government to impose further restrictions as COVID-19 cases, and thus hospitalizations, may well increase.
It is also possible that the UCP will begin to splinter. At the very least, the seeds of internal fracturing have now been forcefully planted.
But as we have witnessed over and over again, this splintering, if and when it occurs, and whatever the consequences it will bring, is a fundamental part of Alberta conservative politics.
Do you have a strong opinion that could add insight, illuminate an issue in the news, or change how people think about an issue? We want to hear from you. Here's how to pitch to us.

DAILY | Live from GraceLife! Kenney Threatens MLAs
https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/cbc-calgary-west-of-centre-podcast-kathleen-petty-1.5473933
One hot party and one hot mess
The Alberta NDP is gaining political advantage as the UCP fights a giant political dumpster fire. Rachel Notley's poll numbers are on the rise while Jason Kenney's are tanking. The premier is fighting a caucus rebellion spurred on by his pandemic response. Meanwhile, Notley is a headline speaker following Jagmeet Singh at this weekend's federal NDP convention - an interesting lineup given their past disagreements. Kathleen Petty looks at the many political fires burning with her guest, Brian Topp, Notley's former chief of staff, and this week's panel - University of Alberta political scientist Jared Wesley, conservative strategist Erika Barootes of Enterprise Canada, and National Observer columnist, Max Fawcett.
West of Centre 53:27 One hot party and one hot messWhat if doing it his way is the wrong way?
Alberta's premier is facing pressure to open up the economy while doctors call for more pandemic restrictions. Meanwhile, COVID-19 cases are rising again, and the contract deal with the doctors has crashed. Add to that, new strategies on coal and the proposed school curriculum have sparked criticism. Alberta MLAs are getting an earful during their Easter break. And some are getting an ear worm because of a song that surfaced from Jason Kenney's grandfather, who is part of the new curriculum. Kathleen Petty breaks it down and sings a few bars with University of Calgary political scientist Lisa Young, Macleans western columnist Jason Markusoff and Calgary Sun columnist Rick Bell.

Graham Thomson
Not so united conservatives: Kenney being punished politically for doing the right thing
Kenney must choose saving lives over political survival, writes columnist Graham Thomson
This column is an opinion from Graham Thomson, an award-winning journalist who has covered Alberta politics for more than 30 years.
The mutineers haven't tried to seize control of the boat or toss the captain overboard but you have to wonder if they're getting ready to abandon ship.
Alberta's United Conservative government caucus is not a happy crew these days.
In fact, on Wednesday, more than a dozen of them took a step unprecedented in Alberta's political history by joining together to publicly slam their own government.
They didn't mention Premier Jason Kenney by name but he's the one who announced the reintroduction of tougher COVID-related restrictions.
"We believe that yesterday's announcement to move our province backwards, effectively abandoning the plan that Albertans had worked diligently over the past months to follow, is the wrong direction," said the letter signed by 15 rebellious representatives, including the Speaker of the legislature, Nathan Cooper.
"As MLAs, we are calling on our government colleagues to recognize the plea of our constituents. After 13 painstaking months of COVID-19 public health restrictions, we do not support the additional restrictions imposed on Albertans."
Two other UCP MLAs have joined the rebellion, bringing the total to 17, representing 25 per cent of the government caucus.
Watch | Kenney and Notley spars in the legislature
![](https://thumbnails.cbc.ca/maven_legacy/thumbnails/389/27/EDM-NOTLEYKENNEYLOCKDOWN-APR7_1800kbps_1280x720_1882685507903.jpg?crop=1.777xh:h;*,*&downsize=510px:* 510w")
Kenney wasn't caught completely off guard. He knew something was brewing below deck when he appeared at Tuesday's news conference.
"I know some Albertans will disagree with the government's decision today and that includes undoubtedly some people in my own caucus and party," said Kenney.
"I fully expect to hear those opinions publicly in the coming days and I welcome them. I've always welcomed a wide-ranging debate on how best to rise to the challenge of this pandemic. I just ask that the debate be informed by facts."
The only time premiers welcome criticism from within their own caucus is when the doors are closed. Political leaders do not want MLAs washing their dirty clothes in public. But this week Kenney watched as a quarter of his MLAs started up a laundromat and opened the doors to the public.
This is not some Machiavellian manoeuvre with Kenney in the background pulling the strings to allow MLAs some freedom to complain without damaging the government. Kenney is facing a real revolt, though it is limited in scope.
He's responsible for this, at least in part.
During the pandemic, he has often pandered to the more conservative of his supporters, those who think the threat of COVID-19 is overblown, those who bristle at wearing a mask, those who want to fully open the reopen doors to restaurants and places of worship.
Many of them live in rural Alberta and argue they are being punished for outbreaks in the cities.
If you want to know where they live, just look up the constituencies of the 17 UCP MLAs publicly criticizing their own government.
They feel betrayed by Kenney who seemed to be on their side last year.
That was when Kenney called COVID-19 the "flu," downplayed its lethality, defended the right of anti-maskers to hold public demonstrations, and made it easier for people to fly to vacation hotspots.
With that kind of leadership-by-example, it's no wonder some of his own caucus flew on Christmas holidays to vacation hotspots.
But the real problem for Kenney is his actions are bringing him into conflict with the founding ideals of the United Conservative Party. In 2017, Kenney formed the UCP from the ashes of the old Progressive Conservative Party and the more right-wing Wildrose.
He promised supporters a libertarian, grassroots-led party dedicated to personal freedoms, smaller government and balanced budgets.
Instead, Kenney is imposing top-down government-mandated restrictions on personal freedoms as well as posting record budgetary deficits and running up a $100-billion provincial debt.
The pandemic might be responsible for many of Kenney's troubles but a large chunk of his own caucus doesn't seem to understand or sympathize. Or, more troubling for Kenney, a large chunk of his bedrock support doesn't understand or sympathize.
No-win situation
Perhaps adding insult to injury for Kenney, a student of parliamentary traditions, is the realization that Speaker Cooper is also taking an unprecedented step in Alberta political history by publicly supporting an attack against the government.
Speakers by tradition and necessity are supposed to stay out of partisan or controversial issues. Their role is to present a neutral face in the legislature as they referee political debates.
David Carter, who was Alberta's Speaker from 1986 to 1993, says he's appalled by Cooper's actions. "It is completely wrong," said Carter in an interview Thursday. "It is completely a violation of all things parliamentary in a true democracy as practised in the province of Alberta and Canada."
Carter says Cooper should resign, along with deputy Speaker Angela Pitt who is another signatory to the letter. The Speaker's office has not responded to a request for a comment.
Kenney might not be politically dead but the vultures are already starting to circle.
Paul Hinman, interim leader of the Wildrose Independence Party, issued a tweet Wednesday urging the disgruntled MLAs to quit the UCP and sit as independents "until the province-wide lockdowns are removed and recall legislation is amended to hold MLAs accountable to the people who elected them, not the dictator premier."
Kenney is in a no-win situation.
By re-imposing restrictions, he has a mutiny within his caucus and his base of support.
If he didn't crack down now, the Third Wave could overwhelm our health-care system, and people would die needlessly.
He did the right thing this week, not that it should have been up for debate, but too often in Alberta, it is.
As premier, Kenney's only concern should be the lives of Albertans, not his own political survival.

Credible sources of news are the last line of resistance defending democracy
The politics of inevitabilityis the idea that history is inexorably moving toward a certain future, such as liberal democracy. Under this belief system, no action is required of us since a positive outcome is assured, writes K.W. Grafton.
Yale University Professor Timothy Snyder draws a distinction between two competing world views: the politics of inevitability and the politics of eternity. The politics of inevitabilityis the idea that history is inexorably moving toward a certain future, such as liberal democracy. Under this belief system, no action is required of us since a positive outcome is assured.
This paradigm is deeply flawed. In reality, nothing is assured. Democracy requires participation.
Once events explode the utopian myth of inevitable politics, abandonment of faith leads to the politics of eternity. Reality forms the cynical view that nothing ever really changes. History is a cyclical story of victimhood. Since we can't improve the world, we might as well further our own interests. This has created fertile ground for populist leaders who dangle the enticing promise of a return to halcyon days before disillusioned voters (Making America Great Again or Choose Forward).
A 2018 survey conducted by Dalia Research found that more than half of the people living in democracies worldwide think their voice is "rarely" or "never" heard in politics. Some 54 per cent of citizens in democracies believe their voice doesn't have an impact.
In a DART poll conducted Feb. 24, an alarming69 per cent of Canadians believe that "Canada is broken." Eighty-two per cent believe that politicians represent their own partisan interests rather than those of Canada.
Democracy is in decline because, faith diminished, we are disengaging from mainstream politics and polarizing. According to the World Bank's "2017 World Development Report," the average global voter turnout rate has dropped by more than 10 per cent over the past 25 years. Voter turnout has declined in Canada from 79.4 per cent in 1958, to 65.9 per cent in 2019.
There is a correlation between the demise of democracy and the generally acknowledged decline in critical thinking.
In part, this dumbing-down may be attributed to poor education. In "Academically Adrift: Limited Learning on College Campuses" (Arum/Roksa) studied 2,400 college students at 24 different universities. They reported that critical thinking, and other skills such as writing, were no longer progressing during college as compared to previous generations.
Technology plays a large role. The Nielsen Norman Group of California has measured online reading habits over two decades, with some startling conclusions:
• Only 16 per cent of web users read online text linearly. The rest scan the pages for key words in an F-shaped pattern from the upper left corner of the page, spending only a few seconds on a page.
• Young adults prefer "News Feeds" over more substantial media, however they quickly scan the headlines and blurbs, reading on average only the first two words of each headline. As Emory University Professor Mark Bauerlein put it in his 2009 book "The Dumbest Generation — How the Digital Age Stupefies Young Americans and Jeopardizes Our Future," "The Web is a consumer habitat, not an educational one."
Social media act as a Petri dish for misinformation, and help further partition society. Uninformed user opinion is reinforced through "likes," creating a closed loop of polarized fact-free news. Based upon the psychology of Las Vegas, and employing traditional gaming techniques; Facebook engineered a platform that provides what former president Sean Parker referred to as a "dopamine hit," keeping users at the machines.
Using what is known as "digital exhaust," captured behavioural data, social media now collect and sell personal information on almost three billion users.
Microtargeting uses this data to tailor user-specific advertisements. All political parties now engage in social media warfareusing this methodology.
The Social Media Lab at Ryerson University studies the impact of social media on society. For those still wondering how the Liberals were re-elected, the Ryerson data show that during the 2019 election cycle the Liberals outspent Conservatives by a ratio of almost five to one on Facebook ads that targeted specific areas or demographics.
FEC Chair Ellen Weintraub likens microtargeting to "whispering in the ear of a million different voters, a slightly different message." The danger to democracy lies in the absence of an audience to fact-check the message.
During the last presidential election cycle, Donald Trump's team employed approximately 100 people dedicated to microtargeting. As the world watched, it worked. There is no reason to expect that it won't work again in November.
The best advice? Read a newspaper or credible online news source. Social media is not journalism.

Taking a stand for truth against social media
/https://www.thespec.com/content/dam/thespec/opinion/contributors/2021/02/23/taking-a-stand-for-truth-against-social-media/_5508e6ba66f44b319f785aa5c4a37cdc_5508e6ba66f44b319f785aa5c4a37cd.jpg)
Are people becoming so insensible to truth that rabid partisan talk-shows — and the comfortable, intuitive bias-friendly advertising and gossip of social media — will replace objective fact-based journalism entirely?
What is the future of journalism in a technology-driven world that immediately disseminates unverified and false information globally, removing the objective fact-checking function of journalism — at a time when reason and trust in authority are in decline, and emotion trumps logic.
The question has been the subject of much discussion since “post-truth” became Oxford Dictionary’s word of the year in 2016.
In 2017, president and Lincoln Professor of History at Harvard University Drew Gilpin Faust opened a panel event, “The Future of News: Journalism in a Post-Truth Era” by referring to, “a subject of greatest urgency for our democracy … the future of journalism and the erosion of fact.”
“I can think of no more important question on which a university and the press could join forces … the pursuit of truth … veritas, as our motto has it, is at the heart of what each of us is and does. For centuries universities have been places where knowledge was collected, studies, debated, expanded, changed, and advanced, through the power of human reason and the crucible of rationale argument and exchange. Like journalists, we regard facts as the necessary foundation for human decision-making and human progress. In the policies of governments, in the policies of science, in the lives of individuals, societies and nations. Yet we now confront what has been called a ‘post-truth era.’ One in which evidence, critical-thinking, and analysis are pushed aside in favour of emotion and intuition as basis for action and judgment. These are not just questions of epistemology. For journalism they are matters of survival. In a transformed technological world of social media, which is where two-thirds of American adults now get their news, it is the popular acclaim of clicks, not the rigorous standards of depth and accuracy that measure success … and measure economic viability.”
While producing real news costs money, social media like Google and Facebook have historically pirated content from news publishers, earning billions of dollars annually on the backs of struggling legitimate journalists.
Now, finally, that practice is being challenged by the Government of Australia — and the world is watching.
On Feb. 15, Treasury Laws Amendment (News Media and Digital Platforms Mandatory Bargaining Code) Bill 2021 was passed in parliament to establish a “mandatory code of conduct that applies to news media businesses and digital platform corporations when bargaining in relation to news content made available by digital platform services.” Bill 2021 forces search engines and social media companies to pay for news content.
In response, Facebook announced it would ban users in Australia from sharing or reading news articles on its site and bar anyone outside the country from seeing any Australian news content. Users in Australia saw large media brands removed from their posts.
“Last year Facebook generated approximately 5.1 billion free referrals to Australian publishers worth an estimated $407 million (AU). Despite some of these discussions, Facebook does not steal, take or copy news content,” posted Facebook.
On Tuesday it was announced that agreement had been reached and Facebook would lift its ban. New amendments give digital platforms one month’s notice before they are formally designated, affording time to broker agreements before they are forced to enter binding arbitration arrangements.
“The latest twist proves that regulation works,” said Angela Mills Wade, executive director of the European Publishers Council. “Regulators from around the world will be reassured that they can continue to take inspiration from the Australian government’s determination to withstand unacceptable threats from powerful commercial gatekeepers.”
In Canada, a similar battle is being headed by News Media Canada, representing hundreds of news publishers across Canada. The campaign has been dubbed “Disappearing Headlines,” and is designed to “raise awareness that our newspapers and their digital news outlets — and our democracy — are under attack.”
“It costs real money to report trusted, fact-based news. Unfortunately, global tech giants such as Google and Facebook refuse to pay a fair price for content created by Canadian news outlets. At the same time, these titans drain off more than 80 per cent of all digital advertising revenue in Canada,” reported Torstar. The campaign is asking Ottawa to follow the Australian example and enact legislation to protect Canadian content from pirating.
Between 2010 and 2017, 225 weekly and 27 daily newspapers were lost to closure or merger in Canada.
The Economist has referred to the dangerous weakening of society’s “truth-producing infrastructure.”
Truth is now confronting silicon-valley surveillance capitalists at what may be a pivotal moment. Democracy hangs precariously upon the outcome.

Here's why Erin O'Toole fired Pierre Poilievre
Why the Liberals are the ‘Natural Governing Party’ of Canada
/https://www.thespec.com/content/dam/thespec/opinion/contributors/2021/03/08/why-the-liberals-are-the-natural-governing-party-of-canada/ajw10592117.jpg)
Conservative MP (Carleton) Pierre Poilievre’s YouTube channel has more than 64,000 subscribers. One video alone has had almost 2.4 million views.
Conservative Party Leader Erin O’Toole’s has only 1,430 subscribers, with most of his uploads attracting only hundreds of views.
In announcing the removal of Poilievre from the key opposition role as finance critic on Feb. 10, O’Toole did not mention whether this huge disparity in popularity, among both the public and within the party, was a factor.
While the party is saying the shuffle of Poilievre to the newly created role of “jobs and industry critic” — which does not align to any actual government portfolio — is intended to “focus on the party’s top priority; jobs and rebuilding after COVID-19’s economic destruction,” many view the move as a demotion.
In any case, there were probably some celebratory Liberal hangovers the following morning at Rideau Cottage.
An unnamed conservative source called it a “particularly risky move,” in view of the virtual policy convention planned for March, already expected to be contentious following the ousting of MP Derek Sloan last month for remarks criticizing Canada’s chief public health officer and supporting the anti-vaccine movement.
O’Toole’s decision to bump Poilievre reportedly set off “bombshells among the party’s grassroots.” Many credit Poilievre’s attack on the Liberal brand over WE Charity with high conservative poll numbers when O’Toole won leadership in 2020. Many had, in fact, expected Poilievre to run for leadership. Many were disappointed he did not.
If the recent shuffle seems like political suicide, with a spring election in the rumour mill, it is not the first time that the Conservative Party has blundered its way to the opposition benches. Since 1867, Liberals have formed 27 governments, Conservatives only 18. Hence “The Natural Governing Party” sobriquet.
Is it just that Liberals give more money away?
Conservative strategy following the last federal election was puzzling.
Despite winning the popular ballot in October 2019 with 6.15 million votes (the second largest vote count of any previous Conservative party leader behind Brian Mulroney’s 1984 landslide win with 6.2 million). Even so, speculation about Andrew Scheer’s replacement began immediately following the election. He then resigned.
On Aug. 24, O’Toole upset party heavyweight front-runner Peter MacKay to become the new Conservative leader. O’Toole’s support within the party was far from unanimous. He won 57 per cent of the vote, MacKay 43 per cent.
In the years since Confederation, Conservatives have repeatedly demonstrated political ineptitude compared to their wily Liberal counterparts. They have a lengthy history of fractious division. In fact, the current CPC variant is the result of the 2003 merger between the Progressive Conservative Party and Stephen Harper’s Canadian Alliance, resulting from party discord over then newly elected PCP leader MacKay’s shady backroom “Orchard Deal.”
When Joe Clark announced his resignation in 2002, MacKay entered the 2003 leadership race as the front-runner. Due to some secret “back-roomery” with opponent David Orchard, MacKay won with 65 per cent of the vote. As details of the “Orchard Deal” surfaced however, MacKay came under intense criticism within the party. Party division resulted in a merger between the Progressive Conservative Party and Stephen Harper’s Canadian Alliance on Sept. 15, with Harper becoming leader of the new CPC.
It was the latest in a long history of name changes since inception as the Liberal-Conservative Party in 1854, under founding-father John A. Macdonald. These include; the Conservative Party (1867), Unionist Party (1917), National Liberal and Conservative Party (1920), Progressive Conservative Party (1942), Reform Party of Canada (1987), Canadian Alliance (2000), and the Conservative Party of Canada (2003).
The Liberal Party on the other hand — since before confederation, except for a brief wartime coalition government in 1917 — has remained … well, the Liberal Party.
It’s not that Liberals haven’t bickered among themselves in the past — Chrétien and Turner in the 1980s, Chrétien and Martin in 2002 — but they always manage to hold it together.
Beyond party cohesion though, Liberals also have a better grasp of celebrity politics. In this branded age of post-truth, rhetoric trumps reality, appearance trumps substance, and camara-charisma wins elections. When a well-coiffed Justin Trudeau aims his Svengali-stare at Canadians and denies everything, it works.

Many Conservatives see Poilievre as the closest thing they have to a comparable brand with serious marketing potential.
Tallying YouTube clicks, Canadians obviously agree.
Reading the tea leaves might predict a lively Conservative party policy convention in March. Has O’Toole set the stage for the next party implosion? Stay tuned.

This report by The Canadian Press was first published April 8, 2021
https://www.assembly.ab.ca/learn/the-legislative-assembly/roles/speaker-and-presiding-officers
Once elected, the Speaker becomes an impartial representative of the whole Assembly and must serve all MLAs equally regardless of party affiliation.
The key characteristics of the Speaker’s role are authority and impartiality; the Assembly grants the Speaker the authority to direct its debates and proceedings, and the Speaker does so without favouring MLAs from one political party over those from another.
https://www.assembly.ab.ca/members/speakers-corner
The Honourable Nathan Cooper, MLA for Olds-Didsbury-Three Hills,
is the Speaker of the Legislative Assembly of Alberta. Elected by his fellow Members on May 21, 2019, he also serves as the chair of the Special Standing Committee on Members’ Services. Speaker Cooper is the 14th Speaker of the Legislative Assembly of Alberta.
Angela Pitt, MLA for Airdrie-East,
is the Deputy Speaker and Chair of Committees and presides over the debates when the Speaker cannot be present.
Nicholas Milliken, MLA for Calgary-Currie,
is the Deputy Chair of Committees. He presides over the Assembly when neither the Speaker nor the Deputy Speaker are available.
16 MLA’s including Red Deer South’s Jason Stephan try to distance themselves from government direction on covid
Alberta’s UCP is undergoing some intense internal strife after Premier Kenney returned Alberta back to stage 1 in the province’s Covid Recovery Plan.
16 MLA’s caught between their own government’s covid policies and angry constituents have decided to release a public statement in an attempt to distance themselves from Premier Kenney’s covid approach.
The list makes up a quarter of all UCP MLA’s. Most represent rural ridings, but Red Deer South MLA Jason Stephan has signed on.
In the statement, the signatories ask their own government to create and stick to a ‘transparent path forward that provides certainty to Alberta families, communities, and businesses.’
Central Alberta MLA’s Nate Horner of Drumheller-Stettler, Nathan Cooper of Olds-Disbury-Three Hills, Mark Smith 0f Drayton Valley-Devon, Garth Rowswell of Vermillion-Lloydminster-Wainright, and Ron Orr of Lacombe-Ponoka have joined Stephan and 10 others in signing so far.
Here’s a copy of their statement:
TODAYVILLE is a digital media platform and technology company.
About Todayville: Launched in 2016 in Red Deer, Alberta, Todayville now operates growing platforms in Edmonton, Calgary and Red Deer as well as “Here to Mars”, showcasing music and the arts. The goal of the company is to expand through partnerships with news and media professionals as well as digital media companies, charitable organizations, and entrepreneurs who see a gap in the creation, aggregation and distribution of local information.
The company’s principals are Lloyd Lewis and Duane Rolheiser, both veterans of news and local media.
About Lloyd: A career in broadcasting took Lloyd across the prairies from Red Deer to Winnipeg, in a career that’s encompassed significant stints as a director, producer, promotion/brand manager, and Vice President and General Manager (CTV Edmonton/CTV2 Alberta 2005-2015). An ardent supporter of community, Lloyd was appointed Honorary Colonel of 41 Signal Regiment in Alberta in 2016 and was recently appointed Honorary Colonel of the Regiment. He also serves as a Director (Alberta Chapter) of the Canadian Forces Liaison Council and as a Board Director of the Alberta Lieutenant Governor Arts Awards Foundation. He chaired the United Way campaign in Red Deer in the mid-90’s and served 6 years on the Board of Directors of the United Way of the Edmonton Capital Region (2011-2017) and many years on the Board of Directors of the Red Deer College Foundation. A collaborative and creative media pro, Lloyd is also a musician and photographer.
About Duane: After 15 years as a TV reporter with Global and CBC and as news director of the now defunct RDTV in Red Deer, Duane set out on his own 2008 in the field of video production and storytelling. During this period, he became fascinated with a burgeoning online world and how it could better serve local communities, developing a digital platform called 24/7 that operated for a few years prior to 2016, eventually becoming the source of inspiration for Todayville.Duane’s commitment to his community is defined by the amount of pro-bono video and consulting he has done for a staggering group of non-profit organizations in Central Alberta.
If you have a passion for local media, a history of storytelling, own or manage a digital agency that’s already producing content for clients, a highly-developed sense of community, we’d love to hear from you. As a cloud-based platform, Todayville can be used to create a sustainable, engaging local media business in virtually any size of community.All you need to add is a passion for “community”, storytelling, some sales skills, and desire. We can help with the rest.
Contact Lloyd at 780.232-2863 or lloyd.lewis@todayville.com.
Contact Duane at 403-350-1155 or duane.rolheiser@todayville.com.
Thank you for your interest in Todayville!

Caucus dissent over COVID OK, breaking health rules means expulsion: Alberta premier
Almost half of the party's 40 backbenchers are publicly condemning a return to stricter health restrictions
· The Canadian Press · Posted: Apr 08, 2021 8:39 PM MT
Alberta Premier Jason Kenney speaks at a news conference Thursday. (CBC)
Alberta Premier Jason Kenney is drawing a line in the sand for 18 of his backbenchers who are openly criticizing public-health restrictions meant to face down COVID-19.
Kenney says dissent is part of a democracy, but adds he has warned United Conservative legislature members that flouting the rules means disciplinary action that includes getting kicked out of caucus.
"I made it very clear to my caucus this morning that while we accept a diversity of opinions and I totally respect the obligation of members to represent their constituents … the government caucus could not tolerate any member counselling people to engage in civil disobedience or to break public-health measures," Kenney said Thursday.
"I think that's well understood by our team."
Asked if he would remove violators from caucus, Kenney had a one-word reply: "Yes."
Almost half of the party's 40 backbenchers are publicly condemning a return to stricter health restrictions Kenny announced this week. They want eased rules or, if not, targeting them in areas with high COVID-19 case rates.
Sixteen of the politicians, most representing rural constituencies, have signed an open letter saying the changes are a step backwards that threatens livelihoods and freedoms.
One of them is Nate Horner who represents Drumheller-Stettler.

Banff-Kananaskis
MLA Miranda Rosin says the UCP members who signed a letter against the
latest public health restrictions did so to voice the concerns of their
constituents. 2:1
A post on his Facebook page says a regional approach to restrictions is needed that takes into account rural constituencies, including his, with few infections.
Others who signed the letter include Speaker Nathan Cooper and former municipal affairs minister Tracy Allard. Allard left cabinet in January after a public outcry over a trip to Hawaii for Christmas, despite the government urging Albertans to stay home.
Legislature member Martin Long didn't sign the letter, but is also critical of the tighter restrictions. Fellow caucus member Dan Williams wants them to be eased for worship services.
"Worship is a fundamental freedom that we must maintain," Williams said in a video posted to social media Wednesday. It was the same day Alberta Health Services closed down an Edmonton-area church charged with ignoring capacity limits on services.
"I respect and understand the 15 per cent capacity limit. I'm frustrated by it. I've brought it up in the legislature multiple times that we should be lifting these numbers," he said.
New restrictions
The province has been imposing, amending, deleting and reimposing rules for businesses and public gatherings for more than a year to try to reduce the spread of the novel coronavirus while keeping the economy and public life as normal as possible.
This week, Kenney again closed restaurants to in-person dining, put a halt to group fitness activities at gyms and rolled back customer capacity at retail stores to 15 per cent from 25.
He said that despite more Albertans being vaccinated, a recent spike in variant cases would overwhelm health care in five weeks if further restrictions were not imposed.
More than 756,000 Albertans have received at least one dose of vaccine. Kenney said the vaccines, along with other factors, may allow the government to eventually return to regionally targeted restrictions, as was done for a while last year.
The Opposition says all legislature members have influence and authority, and suggests that Kenney is putting lives at risk by allowing some of them to question health restrictions and the science that underlies them.
"Jason Kenney is a weak leader who does not recognize the consequences of this [caucus] revolt," said NDP Leader Rachel Notley.
"These [dissident] MLAs need to be telling Albertans to keep each other safe, not putting them in danger. They're being irresponsible, selfish and, quite frankly, they should be ashamed."

Judge rules Edmonton pastor will remain in jail until his trial in May
By Terry Haig |
english@rcinet.ca
Posted: Friday, March 5, 2021 13:45
An Alberta pastor who has clashed for months with provincial health
authorities over COVID-19 restrictions will remain in jail until he
goes to trial in May because he refuses to follow a bail condition
that requires he comply with public health orders.
The pastor, James Coates of the GraceLife Church in Parkland County
west of Edmonton, has been in jail for over two weeks and was
appealing his bail conditions.
After hearing arguments yesterday from Coates’s lawyers, Court of
Queen’s Bench Justice Peter Michalyshyn dismissed the bail review this
morning.
Coates is charged with violating Alberta’s Public Health Act and with
breaking a promise to abide by conditions of his bail release, which
is a Criminal Code offence.

Coates was arrested for holding Sunday services in violation of
COVID-19 rules. (THE CANADIAN PRESS/Jason Franson)
His lawyer, James Kitchen, told the court Thursday that Coates can’t
follow a bail condition that forbids him from holding services because
that would violate his conscience by disobeying God.
“This is a matter of deep-seeded personal conscience and religious
beliefs for Pastor Coates,” Kitchen said.
“He is unable to disobey the God he believes in. He is compelled to
obey … as [are] his congregants.”
The prosecution argued that Coates’s release would be a danger to the public.
Outside the courthouse, dozens of Coates’s supporters gathered–many of
them not wearing face masks–and more than 350 attended the hearing via
the court’s web conferencing software.
Some failed to mute their microphones, leading to frequent disruptions.
Supporters rallied outside court yesterday as lawyers for James Coates
appealed his bail conditions. (THE CANADIAN PRESS/Jason Franson)
Coates turned himself in to police on Feb. 16 and was charged with two
counts in contravention of the Public Health Act and charged for
failing to comply with a condition of his undertaking.
He refused release, saying he could not abide by the conditions.
Prior to his detention, his Sunday services were drawing up to 300
members, and in early February Coates was charged for a second time
for breaking the rules.
He was fined in December and Alberta Health Services ordered the
church to close in January, but Coates ignored the orders.
The church has continued to hold services, even though Coates is in custody.

Alberta court jails Pastor Coates through to May 3-5 trial
Mar 5th, 2021
EDMONTON: The Justice Centre is very disappointed to announce that
Justice Peter Michalyshyn of the Alberta Court of Queen’s Bench in
Edmonton has ruled that Pastor James Coates of Grace Life Church must
remain in jail for the next eight weeks pending his trial, unless he
agrees to abide by health orders that violate his Charter freedoms of
conscience, religion, expression, association and peaceful assembly.
Pastor Coates has been in custody at the Edmonton Remand Centre since
February 16, after he refused to sign a bail condition to comply with
provincial health orders that violate his Charter freedoms of
conscience, religion, expression, association and peaceful assembly.
The Justice Centre filed an appeal in the Alberta Court of Queen’s
Bench, to seek the release of Pastor Coates from jail prior to a trial
date set for May 3-5, 2021, in Alberta Provincial Court in Stony
Plain. The Justice Centre represents Pastor Coates and Grace Life
Church, a large church just west of Edmonton. Alberta Health Services
(AHS) ticketed Pastor Coates, taken Grace Life and Pastor Coates to
court, and even attempted to completely shut the Church down.
Background information on Pastor Coates’ ordeal is available here.
“A trial set eight weeks down the road was too long for an innocent
Pastor to be in jail. Pastor Coates is a peaceful Christian minister.
He should never have been required to violate his conscience and
effectively stop pastoring his church as a condition to be released.
In every way this was a violation of Pastor Coates’ Charter rights and
freedoms,” states lawyer John Carpay, president of the Justice Centre.
“Charter freedoms do not disappear because the government declares
regular church services to be outlawed while allowing hundreds of
people to fill their local Walmarts,” notes Carpay.

Alberta pastor charged with violating Public Health Act, still in
custody for refusing conditions: RCMP
Diego Romero
CTVNewsEdmonton.ca Digital Journalist
Published Wednesday, February 17, 2021 5:32PM MST
EDMONTON -- A pastor west of Edmonton remains in custody Wednesday
after he was charged with breaking Alberta's Public Health Act and
refusing to agree to the conditions of his release, RCMP said.
James Coates turned himself in to police on Tuesday, two days after a
service Alberta Health Services and RCMP attended where he "was not
complying with his Undertaking release conditions" issued a week
earlier, police said.
The pastor was charged with two counts of contravention of the Public
Health Act and failing to comply with a condition of his undertaking.

Alberta church opens on Sunday despite closure order over COVID-19

Coates attended a bail hearing Tuesday and was to be released on
conditions, but was kept in custody overnight "after refusing to agree
to those conditions," RCMP said.
Those conditions, his lawyer told CTV News, include stopping church
services, but "Coates could not, in good conscience, agree to that
condition."
The pastor made a court appearance on Wednesday and was given a second
court appearance for next Wednesday after he continued to refuse to
agree to the conditions, Mounties added.
“We’ve been consistent in our approach of escalated levels of
enforcement with Pastor Coates, and we were hopeful to resolve this
issue in a different manner,” said RCMP Insp. Mike Lokken. “The
Pastor’s actions, and the subsequent effects those actions could have
on the health and safety of citizens, dictated our response in this
situation.”
On Tuesday, Coates' lawyer told CTV News his client was willing to go
to jail in order to do the "right thing."
"His first obedience is to his Lord, is to his God. And normally,
obeying Jesus and obeying the government go right in hand," James
Kitchen said. "The government's forcing him in to a position where he
has to choose between disobeying God and obeying government, or
obeying God and disobeying government."
GraceLife was first cited for hosting more than 15 per cent of its
capacity at a December service and the pastor was fined $1,200.
A Court of Queen's Bench order was issued in January when it continued
to break COVID-19 restrictions.
GraceLife has held services for three consecutive weeks after it was
ordered to close at the end of January.
The church was not in compliance with the Public Health Act last
Sunday, RCMP said Wednesday.
A day earlier in a statement, GraceLife said: "We do not see our
actions as perpetuating the longevity of COVID-19 or any other virus
that will inevitably come along. If anything, we see our actions as
contributing to its end – the end of destructive lockdowns and the end
of the attempt to institutionalize the debilitating fear of viral
infections. Our local church is clear evidence that governmental
lockdowns are unnecessary. In fact, it is also evidence of how harmful
they are."
Criminal lawyer Tom Engel says the RCMP should shut down the church
and charge everyone in attendance.
"Every person who is in that church knows that they are breaking the
law," he said.
'UNCOMMONLY GOOD' RELATIONSHIP WITH RCMP: KITCHEN
Coates' lawyer told CTV News GraceLife has an "uncommonly good"
relationship with the RCMP because "the police have acted, in this
case, very differently than how they have acted with a lot of other
people."
Complicating Kitchen's claim is the fact that a retired Mountie, Paul
Claassen, is GraceLife's chair.
"It leads to the impression that there's a double standard, there's a
bias in favour of this church," Engel said.
But in a statement, Insp. Lokken said: "Our response to the non
compliance of the Church has been consistent with our overall RCMP
strategy in the Province which is; education, an opportunity for
compliance, and lastly, enforcement. Parkland RCMP has managed the
investigation into the GraceLife Church with absolutely no influence
from any member of their administration or congregation, regardless of
any past or present affiliation with our organization.
"The RCMP has conducted all their interactions with the Church in an
impartial, professional, and respectful manner.”

RE: Rampant Public Corruption
Hey,
Pursuant to my recent phone calls to Norman Sabourin and various
underlings of Shirley Heafey within the Commission for Public
Complaints against the RCMP over the years plus my many faxes and
emails please find enclosed exactly the same material received by
every Attorney General in Canada over the past year. The CD which is a
copy of a police surveillance wiretap tape # 139 is served upon you as
officers of the court in order that it may be properly investigated.
As you can see I have enclosed a copy of a letter sent to the latest
Attorney General Mr. Wally Opal in BC. Perhaps he should take a little
trip to Surrey and ask your office some hard questions. Perhaps the
ghost of my fellow Independent politician, Chuck Cadman may wish to
answer few questions now as well. Hard telling not knowing.
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 thing 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.

Robin Camp case: What does it take to remove a judge from the bench?
Only two federally appointed judges recommended for dismissal since 1971
By Nicole Ireland, CBC News Posted: Nov 12, 2015 5:00 AM ET
The case of a judge who asked a woman, "Why couldn't you just keep
your knees together?" during an Alberta sexual assault trial is
raising questions about what kind of behaviour warrants removing a
justice from the bench.
Judge under review for berating sex assault complainant
Read the complaint against Justice Robin Camp
Only two judges have been recommended for removal by the Canadian
Judicial Council — a group of federally appointed judges tasked with
investigating complaints about their peers — since it was created in
1971.
Trevor Farrow
Trevor Farrow, associate dean at Osgoode Hall Law School in Toronto,
says it's 'a good thing' that judges don't lightly recommend
dismissing their peers. (Osgoode Hall Law School)
In both cases, the judges resigned before the recommendations made it
to Parliament, which ultimately decides whether or not to dismiss a
Canadian judge.
On Monday, the judicial council announced it was reviewing the conduct
of Robin Camp while he was an Alberta provincial court judge in 2014,
when he presided over a case involving a 19-year-old woman who alleged
she was sexually assaulted by a Calgary man during a house party.
According to the complaint that prompted the review, in addition to
the "keep your knees together" comment, Camp asked during the trial,
"Why didn't you just sink your bottom down into the basin so he
couldn't penetrate you?" (The woman alleged she was sexually assaulted
over a sink).
"At numerous points during the proceeding, Justice Camp was dismissive
of, if not contemptuous towards, the substantive law of sexual assault
and the rules of evidence," the complaint said. "In particular, he
showed disregard, if not disdain, for the rape shield provisions under
the Criminal Code, the legal definition of consent to sexual touching,
and the Criminal Code provision and case law regarding the doctrine of
recent complaint.
"His articulated disrespect for these legal rules was, in some
instances, combined with a refusal to apply them."
The Canadian Judicial Council must decide whether the complaint
against Camp, now a Federal Court judge, has merit and, if so, whether
it warrants the establishment of a review panel that could call a
public inquiry.
In the last four decades, the judicial council has ordered public
inquiries for 11 complaints against judges. Two of those inquiries are
still ongoing. In some cases, the judge resigned before the inquiry
was complete. For example, the late Judge Robert Flahiff was convicted
in 1999 for laundering money for a drug dealer back in the 1980s,
before he became a judge. He resigned before the judicial council
finished its inquiry.
Former Quebec judge convicted of money laundering dies
Convicted Quebec judge resigns
In other cases, the council recommended that the judges involved not
be removed from the bench — even if there had been inappropriate
conduct.
"It's not a fait accompli that if you have engaged in some kind of
misconduct you should be removed from office," said Norman Sabourin,
the Canadian Judicial Council's executive director, in an interview
with CBC News on Tuesday. "Assessing the gravity of a misconduct is a
difficult exercise."

Canadian Judicial Council exec on review of judge's behaviour7:06
The overarching question in making that determination, the council
said, is whether the judge has the required confidence of the public
to continue to preside in court.
So when has the council recommended that a judge be removed? Here are
the two cases in which that happened. The details come from documents
available on the Canadian Judicial Council's website:
Paul Cosgrove, Ontario Superior Court
On April 22, 2004, Ontario's attorney general at the time, Michael
Bryant, asked the council to consider whether Judge Paul Cosgrove
should be removed from office based on his conduct in the murder trial
of Julia Yvonne Elliott.
The attorney general said Cosgrove had ordered an "unwarranted stay"
of proceedings.
Ontario judge resigns over misconduct
"The proceedings tarnished the administration of justice and turned
into an exercise of vilifying the state built on irrelevant,
inappropriate and harmful findings," Bryant wrote. "The proceedings
trivialized the charter and deprived society and the victim's family
of any semblance of justice."
The attorney general's complaint alleged that Cosgrove had
demonstrated similar behaviour in other court cases, citing Court of
Appeal findings that the judge had "reduced the proceedings to a
'procedural nightmare' for the Crown" and shown a "suspicious attitude
toward the government that caused him to misapprehend some of the
evidence before him."
On March 30, 2009, after a public inquiry, the Canadian Judicial
Council recommended that Cosgrove be removed from office. The judge
resigned the following month.
Jean Bienvenue, Superior Court of Quebec
In December 1995, the then attorneys general of Quebec and Canada,
Paul Bégin and Allan Rock, asked the Canadian Judicial Council for a
public inquiry into the conduct of Judge Jean Bienvenue during the
trial of Tracy Théberge, who was convicted of second-degree murder in
death of her husband.
According to the inquiry report, Bienvenue made offensive comments
about Jewish victims of the Holocaust and about women while sentencing
the accused.
"It is said that when women ascend the scale of virtues, they reach
higher than men, and I have always believed this. And it is also said,
and this too I believe, that when they decide to degrade themselves,
they sink to depths to which even the vilest man could not sink,"
Bienvenue said.
The judge also said: "At the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp in
Poland, which I once visited horror-stricken, even the Nazis did not
eliminate millions of Jews in a painful or bloody manner. They died in
the gas chambers, without suffering."
During the inquiry, Bienvenue argued that he had not meant to be
offensive and that he had met with the Canadian Jewish Congress. He
also issued a statement apologizing to women offended by his remarks.
On June 25, 1996, four out of five members of the Canadian Judicial
Council committee recommended that Bienvenue be removed from office.
They wrote, "We believe that if Mr. Justice Bienvenue were to preside
over a case, a reasonable and informed person... would have a
reasonable apprehension that the judge would not execute his office
with the objectivity, impartiality and independence that the public is
entitled to expect from a judge."
Bienvenue resigned before the recommendation went to Parliament.
What does the low number of removals mean?
The rarity of judges removing their peers from the bench is a
reflection of the value Canada places on an independent judiciary,
said Trevor Farrow, a professor and associate dean at Osgoode Hall Law
School in Toronto.
"Judges don't recommend removal lightly," he said. "That's a good
thing when you're balancing the requirement that judges have the
courage and independence to make tough choices in often really
challenging circumstances that involve vulnerable people."
At the same time, Farrow said, it's important that the Canadian
Judicial Council has "the power to recommend sanctions, including
removal if warranted, to maintain the public's trust and confidence."

Federal Court judge Robin Camp faces inquiry over sexual assault trial conduct
7-day public hearing will determine if judge who referred to rape
victim as 'the accused' can remain on bench
By Meghan Grant, CBC News Posted: Aug 31, 2016 6:15 PM MT
An inquiry begins Tuesday afternoon for a judge, formerly with Alberta
provincial court, who is facing dismissal from the Federal Court over
controversial comments directed at a sexual assault complainant in
2014.
Judge Robin Camp's 'insensitive, rude' comments not grounds for
dismissal: lawyer
The public hearing takes place before a panel of five — three superior
court judges and two senior lawyers — over the next week-and-a-half at
the Westin Hotel in downtown Calgary.
"These are public hearings, they're open and they're transparent,"
said Johanna Laporte with the Canadian Judicial Council (CJC).
"The council recognizes that public confidence in the justice system
can only be enhanced by these open proceedings and it's the council's
mandate to ensure that serious matters involving judges are thoroughly
investigated."
Robin Camp, who berated sex assault complainant, says counselling
will make him a better judge
Inquiry into Judge Robin Camp to hear from advocates for sex assault victims
Alberta Attorney General Kathleen Ganley forced the inquiry in January
after a complaint made by two law professors at the University of
Calgary and Dalhousie University.
After opening remarks by presenting counsel and Camp's lawyer,
intervenors — women's groups and sexual assault centres — will make
submissions and finally, the panel will hear from Camp himself, who
has previously indicated he plans to apologize.
Panel members will then deliberate before releasing a decision —
likely in written form — on whether or not Camp should remain on the
bench at the Federal Court.
"The inquiry is squarely tasked with determining if the facts
surrounding the complaint are serious enough to warrant the judge's
removal," said Laporte.
'Why didn't you just sink your bottom down'
During the 2014 trial, Camp asked the complainant "why couldn't you
just keep your knees together" during her testimony in his role as an
Alberta Provincial Court judge.
The then 19-year-old woman alleged she was raped by Alexander Scott
Wagar over a bathroom sink at a Calgary house party. Throughout the
trial, Camp repeatedly referred to her as "the accused."
"Why didn't you just sink your bottom down into the basin so he
couldn't penetrate you?" Camp asked the woman.
"That kind of comment goes back to the dinosaur age as far as I'm
concerned," said Danielle Aubry with Calgary Communities Against
Sexual Abuse.
Camp acquitted Wagar, but the Alberta Court of Appeal overturned the
ruling and ordered a new trial. By that time, Camp had been elevated
to the Federal Court.
"When you become a judge ... that's a privilege, it's a very high
position," said Aubry.
"It's incredulous to me that there are people sitting on the bench
that are not educating themselves about issues like sexual violence."
In ordering a new trial, the Court of Appeal wrote that the judge's
comments raised doubts about his understanding of sexual assault laws.
The Canadian Judicial Council received the initial complaint from four
law professors at Dalhousie University and the University of Calgary.
After that, dozens more flooded in.
Gender and sensitivity training
In his notice of response posted to the CJC website, Camp indicated
that he agrees his comments were "insensitive and inappropriate," but
says he has undergone gender and sensitivity training.
Camp arranged and paid for his sensitivity training himself, during
which he worked with a Superior Court judge, a psychologist and an
expert on the law of sexual assault.
He has indicated that he wishes to remain a judge.
The council members include Justice Austin Cullen, who will act as
chairperson, Justice Deborah Smith and Justice Raymond Whalen. The two
senior lawyers, Karen Jensen and Cynthia Petersen, were appointed by
the federal justice minister.
Since the CJC was created in 1971, only two judges have been
recommended for removal. but both ultimately resigned before
Parliament, which has the final say, made its decision.
Seven days have been set aside for the hearing but it is not expected
to run its allotted time. On Tuesday, it starts at 2 p.m. MT. but will
begin at 9 a.m. MT otherwise.
Yea right tell me another one just like your former boss Landslide did.
Tuesday, November 28, 2006
OTTAWA — Anne McLellan has added her name to the list of former
Liberal cabinet ministers who say they were not fully briefed by the
RCMP on Maher Arar.
McLellan was appointed public safety minister in December 2003 and,
shortly thereafter, called a judicial inquiry into the case.
This fall, Justice Dennis O'Connor concluded the RCMP passed
inaccurate information to the United States on Arar that likely led to
his detention and torture in Syria.
On Tuesday, McLellan confirmed she was briefed on the "Arar situation"
by RCMP Commissioner Giuliano Zaccardelli and former CSIS director
Ward Elcock.
But she said she only learned that the RCMP had passed along false
information on Arar to the U.S. when the O'Connor report was released
in late September.
The RCMP described Arar to U.S. authorities as an Islamic extremist
suspected of ties to al-Qaida, even though he was never more than a
"person of interest" in an RCMP national-security investigation.
"In my presence, (neither) Commissioner Zaccardelli, nor anyone else,
either from the RCMP or CSIS, (ever) referred to Mr. Arar as an
Islamic extremist," McLellan told a Commons public safety committee
that has been probing the Arar affair.
"That was an expression that was never used in relation to Mr. Arar in
my presence. Ever."
McLellan's statements appear to contradict assertions by Zaccardelli
that he briefed the government about the mistakes by the RCMP.
In an appearance before the same committee in late September,
Zaccardelli said he informed former solicitor general Wayne Easter
about the errors. The solicitor general was the minister in charge of
the RCMP before the position was abolished last year.
But last month, Easter testified that he was never so informed.
"There is no situation where the RCMP came to me and basically said,
'We screwed up. We provided improper information,’” he said at the
time.
Earlier this month, Elcock of CSIS also testified he did not learn of
the RCMP's mislabeling of Arar until after the O'Connor report was
released.
On Tuesday, McLellan described an environment in which concern about
the Arar affair reached to the top of the political ladder.
She said that soon after former prime minister Paul Martin took office
in December 2003, he asked her to "get to the bottom of what had
happened to Mr. Arar."
Ottawa Citizen
That was what Landslide Annie had to say about the RCMP before Dion
was picked as leader of the liberals aweek or so ago. Ask me what I
sent Wayne Easter as Paul Martin was being crowned as Humpty Dumpty
three years ago. Clearly I sent something EH?

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.

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.’"

>>>
>>> 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
>>>>> 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

>>> à titre de tribunal additionnel de droit, d’equity et d’amirauté du

>>> 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

>>>
>>>
>>> [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

>>> 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

>>> copies of the documents that, in his view, supported his claim that

>>>
>>>
>>> [13] The nature of the alleged conflict of Justice Webb is

>>> 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 th>> 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

>>> To us, one significant factor stands out, and must inform

>>> the passage of time. Most arguments for disqualification rest on

>>> or that occurred within a short time prior to the decision-making.
>>> 31 There are other factors that inform the issue. The Wilson

>>> his former firm for a considerable period of time.
>>>
>>>
>>> 32 In my view, a reasonable person, viewing the matter

>>>
>>> III. Issue
>>>
>>> [26] The issue on the cross-appeal is as follows: Did the

>>> Healthcare Corp. v. Kennedy Institute of Rheumatology, 2016 FCA 215,

>>> the prothonotary made an error of law or a palpable and overriding

>>>
>>>
>>> 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 int>> 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 R>> 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.
