Subject: Re: Need I say Bullshit???
To: David Amos <david.raymond.amos333@gmail.
I'm sorry, but the fact that you are supporting "democracy" when it
was hated and feared at the formation of most countries including
Canada and America, despised by the entirety of the US founders in
their own quotes, said to be the lowest form of political system in
Plato's Republic before the tyranny of dictatorship is allowed to grab
hold, and therefore constantly pushed by the media and world
governments (Nation States), is only a publicised, outward sign that
you are unable to be self-governing. Seriously, and literally, your
vote is a vote for non-self-representation, non-self-governance, but
instead for gang-rule. Your vote is not counted, and only supports the
right of the actual electors. Your vote no to one candidate is merely
a vote yes to the actual winner, a vote yes for the corrupt system and
a ruler that you didn't vote for. No offense, but isn't it time to
wake up from this ridiculous religious belief system of "democracy"
and its world-dominating "political process" as the main problem?
Just curious, when the facts are realized, if the cognitive dissonance
is stronger than the urge to break free of the brainwashing...?
-Clint
PS. You are welcome to send me back a nasty retort full of fallacy and
nonsensical personal attacks, but please read these quotes and do the
same to these names before doing so:
First establish a democracy in your own household.
—Lycurgus, when asked by someone to establish a democracy in Sparta
(recorded in Plutarch's Life of Lycurgus)
"He who builds upon the people, builds upon mud."
— Niccolò Machiavelli<https://tvtropes.
note
"Remember, democracy never lasts
long.<https://tvtropes.org/
It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a
democracy yet that did not commit suicide. It is in vain to say that
democracy is less vain, less proud, less selfish, less ambitious, or
less avaricious than aristocracy or monarchy. It is not true, in fact,
and nowhere appears in history. Those passions are the same in all
men, under all forms of simple government, and when unchecked, produce
the same effects of fraud, violence, and cruelty. When clear prospects
are opened before vanity, pride, avarice, or ambition, for their easy
gratification, it is hard for the most considerate philosophers and
the most conscientious moralists to resist the temptation. Individuals
have conquered themselves. Nations and large bodies of men, never."
— John Adams<https://tvtropes.org/
"From this view of the subject it may be concluded that a pure
democracy, by which I mean a society consisting of a small number of
citizens, who assemble and administer the government in person, can
admit of no cure for the mischiefs of faction. A common passion or
interest will, in almost every case, be felt by a majority of the
whole; a communication and concert result from the form of government
itself; and there is nothing to check the inducements to sacrifice the
weaker party or an obnoxious individual. Hence it is that such
democracies have ever been spectacles of turbulence and contention;
have ever been found incompatible with personal security or the rights
of property; and have in general been as short in their lives as they
have been violent in their
deaths.<https://tvtropes.org/
— James Madison<https://tvtropes.org/
Federalist Paper #10
"It has been observed that a pure democracy if it were practicable
would be the most perfect government. Experience has proved that no
position is more false than this. The ancient democracies in which the
people themselves deliberated never possessed one good feature of
government. Their very character was tyranny; their figure deformity."
— Alexander Hamilton<https://tvtropes.org/
If there is one fact we really can prove, from the history that we
really do know, it is that despotism can be a development, often a
late development and very often indeed the end of societies that have
been highly democratic. A despotism may almost be defined as a tired
democracy. As fatigue falls on a community, the citizens are less
inclined for that eternal vigilance which has truly been called the
price of liberty; and they prefer to arm only one single sentinel to
watch the city while they sleep.
—G. K. Chesterton<https://tvtropes.
"The best argument against democracy is a five-minute conversation
with the average voter."
— Winston Churchill<https://tvtropes.
"Envy is the basis of democracy."
— Bertrand Russell<https://tvtropes.org/
The Conquest of Happiness, VI, 1930
"I see little hope for democracy as an effective form of government,
but I admire the poetry of how it makes its victims complicit in their
own destruction."
— Eliezer Yudkowsky<https://tvtropes.
"As democracy is perfected, the office represents, more and more
closely, the inner soul of the people. We move toward a lofty ideal.
On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach
their heart's desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a
downright moron.<https://tvtropes.org/
— H. L. Mencken<https://tvtropes.org/
"Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want,
and deserve to get it good and hard."
— also H. L. Mencken
"Democracy is a pathetic belief in the collective wisdom of individual
ignorance."
— also H. L. Mencken
"I do not admire 'the people,' as such. No one really does. Their folk
wisdom is usually false, their instincts predatory. Even their sense
of survival — so highly developed in the individual — goes berserk in
the mass. A crowd is a fool."
— Gore Vidal<https://tvtropes.org/
Playboy 1969
"Democracy is beautiful in theory; in practice it is a fallacy. You in
America will see that someday."
— Benito Mussolini<https://tvtropes.
"Democracy is necessarily despotism, as it establishes an executive
power contrary to the general will; all being able to decide against
one whose opinion may differ, the will of all is therefore not that of
all: which is contradictory and opposite to liberty."
— Immanuel Kant, Perpetual Peace, II, 1795
"Democracy is nothing but the Tyranny of Majorities, the most
abominable tyranny of all, for it is not based on the authority of a
religion, not upon the nobility of a
race<https://tvtropes.org/
the merits of talents and of riches. It merely rests upon numbers and
hides behind the name of the people."
— Pierre J. Proudhon, founder of
Anarchism<https://tvtropes.
"One-man-one-vote combined with 'free entry' into
government—democracy–-implies that every person and his personal
property comes within reach of—and is up for grabs by—everyone else: a
'tragedy of the commons' is created."
— Hans-Hermann Hoppe
If Voting Changed Anything They'd Abolish It
— Ken Livingstone, Mayor of London 2000-2008, published an
autobiography-cum-political tract in 1988 with this title. ISBN
9780006373353 (also attributed to Emma Goldman)
"'Democratic' decision making is a means for finding and implementing
the will of the majority; it has no other function. It serves, not to
encourage diversity, but to prevent it."
— David Friedman, The Machinery of Freedom, 88
"Democratic law does not say, 'Thou shalt not kill'. Instead, it
designates certain people who have the right to kill—soldiers and
State police. Democratic law does not order, 'Thou shalt not steal'.
It says that only certain people have the right to steal—tax and
customs agents. What does 'power to the people' mean when the people
enjoy fewer rights than their supposed servants?"
— Christian Michel
"Gang rape, after all, is democracy in
action.<https://tvtropes.org/
— Terry Goodkind<https://tvtropes.org/
"The great thing about democracy is that it gives every voter a chance
to do something stupid."
— Art Spander
"The United States brags about its political system, but the
[American] President says one thing during the election; something
else when he takes office, something else at midterm and something
else when he leaves."
— Deng Xiaoping
"A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can
only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves
largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority
always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the
public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over
loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship. The average
age of the world's greatest civilizations has been 200 years. These
nations have progressed through this sequence: From bondage to
spiritual faith; From spiritual faith to great courage; From courage
to liberty; From liberty to abundance; From abundance to selfishness;
From selfishness to apathy; From apathy to dependence; From dependence
back into bondage<https://tvtropes.org/
— Alexander Fraser Tytler
"-because democracy basically means 'government by the people, of the
people, for the people'... but the people are
retarded.<https://tvtropes.
So let us then say, 'government by the retarded, of the retarded, for
the retarded".
— Rajneesh Osho, Indian political speaker, guru, and spiritual leader
"The absolute ruler may be a Nero, but he is sometimes a Titus or Marc
Aurelius; the people is often Nero, but never Marc Aurelius."
— Antoine Rivarol
"For monarchy to work, one man must be wise. For democracy to work, a
majority of the people must be wise. Which is more likely?"
— Charles Maurras
And on and on and on...
Democracy is the hardest control system to wake up from, because it
gives you the deluson, however tiny, of political control. This is of
course laughable.

It should be blatantly obvious that I did not slander or libel Greg Vezina
In fact I had never heard of Vezina until Partap Dua mentioned us in
the same sentence as they hustled many people to run under their
banner last August
Vezina ignored my emails until I called his latest buddy running in
Toronto Centre today

Subject: NEED CANDIDATES FOR SEP 20 FEDERAL ELECTIONS
"The Direct Democracy platform will open up healthy debate and dialogue
online through a voting system to draw attention of other complacent
Canadians who are so absorbed in their own selves. It will give new
perspectives and ability to understand the plight of fellow humans. At
present no one listens. If you are falling in life, the system will keep
pushing you down and down because NO ONE IS ACCOUNTABLE.
There have been people like David Amos and Greg Vezina who have spent all
their lives fighting injustice, and not many Canadians cared.. And then
there are people like Yuri Duboisky and other young leaders who took on the
mantle to launch parties at provincial levels. It is hard when they don't
find support. Each and every time we gravitate towards the same old
parties, whose MPs are as useless as anything, that they don't have the
drive in them to work for Canadians.
I have had interactions with various such MPs and the few that come to my
mind are Bill Blair, Helena Jaczek, Bob Saroya, Navdeep Bains, Marco
Mendicino and Canada's ultimate MP Justin Trudeau himself. The bureaucrats
run this country with no accountability by elected members.
Anyway, I am making an appeal to all of you to please run for our party in
this election. You need to take out just 6 days of your life till 30th
August to file your nomination papers and then relax. We are spearheading
the media campaign centrally, as the door-to-door campaign is not going to
work due to paucity of time. I understand many of you may be handicapped,
old or not well. But this is your moment. These will be the 6 days of your
life you will remember to tell the next generation that you participated in
the biggest mass movement for democracy."

Dear friends,
'Uneasy lies the head that wears the crown'.
My crown was becoming quite heavy in my 16 years of constant politics
struggle, so I decided to appoint a co-leader from Quebec to lead the party
into the 'suddenly announced' snap federal election by Justin Trudeau. His
name is James McNair, from Pontiac riding in Quebec.
We are preparing our tour bus for the elections.We need funding.
Most of you have approached Canada's Fourth Front just recently, while some
of you have been fighting an individual war against the establishment and
the ineffective Government that takes people for granted. Some of you have
been with us since the last election of 2019, and some from before.
Though we lost comfortably in 2019 due to our party's late registration
in September 2019, we did leave a mark on many Canadians. And for that
reason many parties approached us in this election to join hands. We could
not have joined hands with 'single' issue parties, so we chose selectively
a silent movement trying to build direct democracy in this country, where
individual Canadians can raise issues and the parliament would be required
to debate on them. Also it would involve a 6-monthly report card on MPs. If
they don't perform, and fail 2 times, they would be automatically recalled.
Also an online referendum with 6,000 'yes' votes in a riding could recall
an MP. And many more issues. We want to give dignity of life to all
Canadians irrespective of race, origin or sexual orientation, and more
specifically to people with disabilities who fall through the cracks.
The 'Direct Democracy' platform would allow everyone in Canada, however
small a group they are, to take their issues for online discussion and a
vote, so as to draw attention of all Canadians to a vital issue. For
example many of us may not understand what issues are faced by people who
have children with disabilities, or by persons who have specific sexual
orientations or by those fed up of human rights abuses, or by farmers being
deprived of legitimate guns in the name of curbing killings, or by those
who want to raise alarms against Canada's subserviency to United States, or
by those wanting Canada to focus at home rather than joining in hate wars
with other countries, or by those alarmed by extreme left or right politics
causing divisions in the country, or by those communities living in fear of
others, or by those concerned about deliberate neglect of western provinces
because of too much attention on Ontario, or by thoise concerned with too
much power in hands of police , RCMP and CSIS that is destroying families,
or by those fed up of Canada's 'UNJUDICIOUS' Judicial system that is
grinding lives of many in petty issues that drag on forever, or by those
hung up for years in the mad immigration system, or by those who are
concerned about future of workers in logging and gas industry, or by
Canadian farmers concerned about their existence in Canada, or by those for
and agianst legalization of pot, or by those who are concerned about lack
of focus on alternate industries to replace lost jobs in Alberta and BC, or
by those who are fed up of 3 main parties twhich have been fooling
Canadians with standard election slogans of healthcare, education and
taxes-without actrually doing anything tangible or measurable. All the
three parties are chips of the same block. In my personal opinion, the most
complacent are the Liberals, who laugh at the simplicity of Candians and
especially the immigrants, assuming theys have no choice.
The Direct Democracy platform will open up healthy debate and dialogue
online through a voting system to draw attention of other complacent
Canadians who are so absorbed in their own selves. It will give new
perspectives and ability to understand the plight of fellow humans. At
present no one listens. If you are falling in life, the system will keep
pushing you down and down because NO ONE IS ACCOUNTABLE.
There have been people like David Amos and Greg Vezina who have spent all
their lives fighting injustice, and not many Canadians cared.. And then
there are people like Yuri Duboisky and other young leaders who took on the
mantle to launch parties at provincial levels. It is hard when they don't
find support. Each and every time we gravitate towards the same old
parties, whose MPs are as useless as anything, that they don't have the
drive in them to work for Canadians.
I have had interactions with various such MPs and the few that come to my
mind are Bill Blair, Helena Jaczek, Bob Saroya, Navdeep Bains, Marco
Mendicino and Canada's ultimate MP Justin Trudeau himself. The bureaucrats
run this country with no accountability by elected members.
Anyway, I am making an appeal to all of you to please run for our party in
this election. You need to take out just 6 days of your life till 30th
August to file your nomination papers and then relax. We are spearheading
the media campaign centrally, as the door-to-door campaign is not going to
work due to paucity of time. I understand many of you may be handicapped,
old or not well. But this is your moment. These will be the 6 days of your
life you will remember to tell the next generation that you participated in
the biggest mass movement for democracy. This is how you will do it.
*Please narrow down 10-12 close friends or acquaintances you know in the
riding you want to run. Distribute one signature page to each of them (copy
enclosed to photocopy). You need to collect 100 signatures at least from
citizens 18 years of age or over (target should be 130 as some signatures
are rejected for being out of riding). NO PR, NO Student, No Convention
Refugee and no visitor can sign the endorsement. The person collecting will
sign at the end of the day at bottom as witness, and the candidate can do
for himself or herself for pages the candidate is collecting. A page can
have less than 10 signatures but the total signatures must be 130. That is
all. And then you call James McNair, c- leader, CFF at 343-996-2253(c) or
our office or 416-613-1571 or myself at 647-621-3547(c). Better msg by
email or text as we are so short of time to take on calls. I request you to
motivate at least 1 or 2 of your friends, brothers, sisters, mom, father
and others to run in other ridings in GTa or other parts of Canada. We need
to show our strength and build ourselves for the next election. We may win
a seat here and there, or we may win a considerable number of seats this
time as most people have read the nefarious mind of Justin Trudeau.*
You may print the name tab with your name (enclosed) and put it in a
plastic tab available at Dollar Stores during the signature campaign.
* And pls do ask before starting to sign as we don't want 2 candidates
signing up forms in the same riding. If you have already started let us
know your ridings please. Our Leader's Tour Bus will be arriving from
Quebec in GTA before the close of nominations.In Oakville, our candidate is
already half way done with signatures.*
For those who have given up, I encourage you to give the 6 days of your
lives to us so that we become your strong voice and introduce Direct
democracy, by the Canadians and for the Canadians in Canada. IT IS DOABLE.
Just give us numbers.
Finally *we need money and support *because elections in Canada have to be
fought with donations, and cannot be fought with 'rich' money. The funds
have to flow through the party's account. That is the law. I am
surprised that none of our supporters have donated us anything to date. If
you want change you have to give money for our political movement
to dislodge the disloyal incumbents. I have seen many of our immigrants
trying to show off by donating lavishly to Liberals and Conservatives to
the full extent of $1650 per individual but they hesitate to donate to us.
For those of you in affluent jobs and businesses, please donate a few
thousand dollars each. And for those who cannot afford, give at least
$100-200 each so that you feel that you contributed despite all hardships.
It will enable you as an activist. Our Tour bus alone will cost
$15,000-20,000 for the GTA tour. And we have social media costs, website
costs and so on.
Just remember all donations have to be from individuals and they will be
issued tax receipts by the party to get FULL benefit on their taxes.
Corporations and businesses CANNOT donate.
*Please send donations by E transfer to:CFFdirectdemocracy@gmail.
<CFFdirectdemocracy@gmail.com> or CanadaFourthFront@gmail.com
<CanadaFourthFront@gmail.com>Please write in message: Contributed to CFF
Party $----- Put your name, email, address and phone number.*
In the end I thank you all. And I do see a ray of hope. At least we all can
be a large big family as a party to help our fellow Canadians in need.
Sincerely,
Partap Dua
Leader
CFF-Canada's Fourth Front
OUR MAIN THEME IN tHIS ELECTION IS "ZERO DOWN HOUSE FOR EVERY CANADIAN IN
NEED OF A HOME"
We have the ability to provide everyone a small, fully owned house to live
comfortably with dignity. It is NOT a social housing concept but equity
ownership of a home by young people and many fragile seniors, who we want
to remove from common central air retirement homes to safeguard against
virus spread..Our federal and provincial Governments slaughtered parents
and grandparents of Canadians with impunity.

To: David Amos <david.raymond.amos333@gmail.
RE: WITHOUT PREJUDICE FAIR WARNING
Mr. Amos:
Next time you contact one of our candidates in any way, by telephone,
email, social media or using any known form of communication to further
libel me you will spend the rest of your life penniless and homeless.
Already have one affidavit signed and ready to file, a second one will
cost you $1 million or more in legal fees over the next decade.
Get a very good lawyer to research the new legal proceeding allowing
anyone to sue another for simply "placing someone in a false light".
That issue alone at trial over the next decade will fix you just fine,
and there are the costs of defending against restraining orders,
criminal complaints and al, the rest that goes with teaching someone
well deserving it a lesson that they will pay for every day of the rest
of their lives.
Do a Canlii and other legal research, and make sure you can find several
$million to defend yourself, it cost CTV, CBC and Global Television $3
million to fuck with me, and it cost Carolyn Parrish several hundred
thousand, the seat in Ward 5 in Mississauga, and any chance in her
future to run for any political office beyond councillor or dog catcher.
And when you cannot pay the court costs I will file a motion for you to
be put in jail.
You are going to enjoy living in hotel rooms near court houses for the
next 10 years at minimum.

Crombie running in Mississauga-South for None of the Above Party in June 2, 2022 Ontario Election
None of the Above Consensus in 2022 Ontario Election
2022 None of the Above Direct Democracy party sign
Brian Crombie acclaimed as candidate for None of the Above Party in Mississauga-South after Andrew Weber withdrew to run in Mississauga-East
MISSISSAUGA, ONTARIO, CANADA, April 25, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Ontario's None of the Above Direct Democracy Party (NOTA Party) announced long time Mississauga resident Brian Crombie has been acclaimed as the candidate in Mississauga-South riding in the June 2, 2022 Ontario General Election.
Andrew Weber, the chef at Roc'n Doc's Live Music Grill in Port Credit, withdrew from the Mississauga-Lakeshore nomination to run in Mississauga-East riding.
Brian Crombie has an MBA from Harvard Business School 1988, an HBA from the Ivey School of Business at the University of Western Ontario 1982, and is completing a DBA from ISM Paris 2022. Brian graduated a Baker Scholar with High Distinction from Harvard and Dean’s List from Western.
He is currently the Chief Operating Officer of a real estate development company. Previously Brian has been Acting CFO for a Sports team, and part time CFO for a development stage pharmaceutical company and an entertainment company where he also provided strategic, business development and financial advisory services.
He has been operating Crombie Capital Partners for the past ten years providing strategic, financial, M&A and advisory services for these clients and several others in the pharmaceutical, cosmetics, alternative energy, sports and entertainment, private education and other industries in Canada, the United States and Ukraine. Brian has worked for firms, Venture Capitalists, Law Firms and Private Equity Investors.
Brian Crombie has 30 years of corporate experience, a depth of knowledge in all facets of finance, strategic planning and corporate / business development for a wide breadth of companies in several industries. Brian has deep political, community and charitable involvement as well.
Crombie is the Chair of Transit Alliance, Past President of the Mississauga Arts Council and was Co-chair of the Western GTA Summit 2013, Co-chair of the Mississauga Summit, a community organization working for a brave bold future for Mississauga 2007-14. Brian received the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Medal for his civic involvement. Brian has written and published several academic papers and other articles and videos. He is the former husband of Mississauga Mayor Bonnie Crombie.
"While recently interviewing NOTA Party Leader Greg Vezina on my Brian Crombie Show on SAUGA 960 AM with initial skepticism about the shortcomings of and potential remedies for our democracy I concluded he was correct and it was time to stand up for real change".
Growing from 8 candidates in 7% of ridings in the 2014 to 42 candidates in 34% in the 2018 Ontario Election, the NOTA Party is already ahead with 70 candidates, on the way to nominating candidates in all 124 ridings in the June 2, 2022 Election.
The NOTA Party of Ontario campaigns for the 3Rs of Direct Democracy – Referendum, Recall and Reforms to electoral, legislative, transparency and accountability laws and practices, to give voters control of politicians and parties during and in between elections. Candidates are accountable to their constituents and there are no central party policies or controls of elected MPPs beyond the binding Direct Democracy principles.
In British Columbia's 1991 recall and initiative referendum voters approved both the referendum and recall laws by over 80%. In 1995 then Ontario Progressive Conservative Party leader Mike Harris promised to pass municipal and provincial referendum laws if elected, but he didn't introduce the draft legislation approved at Committee in 1998. On June 17, 2021 Alberta passed a recall law as well.
Switzerland is a rare example of a country with instruments of direct democracy (at the levels of the municipalities, cantons, and federal state). Citizens there have more power than in any representative democracy.
Any Canadian citizen who is a resident in Ontario for at least six months before and 18 years of age or older on Election Day (not otherwise prohibited), may become a candidate in an election by completing and filing the Candidate Nomination Paper (F0400) containing a minimum of 25 signatures from eligible electors in the electoral district in which they are running. They do not have to be a resident in that riding and there is no fee to become a candidate.
Some of the well known NOTA Party candidates nominated for the June 2 , 2022 election are: Hydrofuel Canada CEO Greg Vezina (Mississauga Centre); Brian Crombie (Mississauga-Lakeshore); Canada's first Veterans Ombudsman Col. Pat Stogran Rtd. (Orléans); Stage Manager and G-20 Civil Rights Advocate Adam Nobody (Spadina-Fort York); Author and Creator of TIME-EQUITY Richard Kiernicki (Etobicoke Centre;, Workers Rights Advocate Paul Taylor (Guelph); Aerospace Engineer Kevin Linfield (Essex); and Artist and Broadcasting Technician Marc Adornato (Ottawa-Centre).

Brian Crombie Show SAUGA 960 AM with Greg Vezina | None of the Above Party, April 19, 2022
Brian Crombie, Ottawa's new CFO was fined $300,000 for his actions with Biovail in 2009 with Eugene Melnyk. He was also barred for eight years from serving as an officer or director of a public company
For context, Crombie's job at Biovail was as a CFO. The exact same job he now has with the Ottawa Senators. While he was the CFO for Biovail, he misrepresented information in press releases and financial statements with regards to certain pharmaceutical tablets in 2003.
As CFO for Biovail, Crombie "played a leading role in the preparation and drafting of the press releases in issue," said the OSC.
One press release stated that Biovail lost an estimated $10-$20 million in revenue when one of its trucks was involved in an accident. The company later revised the figure to $5 million.
Crombie served as CFO for Biovail from May 2000 to August 2004. He was vice-president of strategic development until May 2007, when he left to work directly for Melnyk.
Although he was CFO, Crombie is not a chartered accountant or certified chartered accountant.
Former Biovail CFO to pay $300,000 fine
Former Biovail chief financial officer Brian Crombie has admitted to the Ontario Securities Commission that his conduct for the Mississauga pharmaceutical giant violated Ontario securities law and was contrary to the public interest.
In a decision issued last Thursday, the OSC ordered the Mississauga resident to pay a fine of $250,000, to be paid to third parties as directed by the OSC, and pay $50,000 towards the cost of the OSC hearing.
Crombie and two other former Biovail employees were ordered to pay fines as part of a settlement with the OSC, which also has several violation charges outstanding against Eugene Melnyk, the founder and former CEO of Meadowvale-based Biovail.
Under the agreement, Crombie is also banned for eight years from serving as officer or director of any public company in Ontario.
Crombie, who co-chaired the first-ever Mississauga summit of community leaders in June 2007, is the husband of Mississauga-Streetsville Liberal MP Bonnie Crombie.
In its decision, the OSC says Biovail misrepresented information in press releases and financial statements with regards to certain pharmaceutical tablets in 2003.
As CFO for Biovail, Crombie "played a leading role in the preparation and drafting of the press releases in issue," said the OSC.
One press release stated that Biovail lost an estimated $10-$20 million in revenue when one of its trucks was involved in an accident. The company later revised the figure to $5 million.
Crombie served as CFO for Biovail from May 2000 to August 2004. He was vice-president of strategic development until May 2007, when he left to work directly for Melnyk.
Although he was CFO, Crombie is not a chartered accountant or certified chartered accountant.
"He was assisted in the overseeing of the accounting function of the company by experienced accounting staff," noted the OSC.
Last month, Biovail agreed to pay a $6.5-million settlement to the OSC after it alleged irregularities in the firm's operations. The company has already paid some $35.6 million to satisfy U.S. securities officials who brought charges against the company under American law.

Greg Vezina
Mississauga—Streetsville MP Candidate & Party Leader
Greg Vezina (Gregory Hugh) was born on January 13, 1957 in North Bay Ontario Canada. He is the son of Lyall and Ellen and the twin brother of Cathy. He has four brothers and four sisters. His oldest brother, Christopher Lyall Jon Vezina is a world renowned sculptor.
At the age of 14 he left school to travel North America in the amusement business. At 20 he went to work for Garrison and Company in the radio advertising business. Two years later he started his own radio advertising sales business, Western Radio Broadcasting Promotions with his wife, Kathleen Marie Kirkland Vezina, the sixth child of Jack and Mary Kirkland, of Unity Saskatchewan.
In 1980 Greg, Kathy and family started C.A.E.C.-Canadian Alternative Energy Corp. and developed a conversion system for vehicles to run on ammonia (NH3) which they branded as “Hydrofuel”. In 1984 they received the Canadian Trademark. They had travelled to California and the Arizona desert and envisioned the first truly green energy currency. Sunlight, water and air to make ammonia for automotive fuel, and electrical power generation and storage. In Canada they proposed using hydroelectric power as well as solar, wind and tidal power, but the prepared a complete business plan for 1000 megawatt 300 metric ton per day electrolytic ammonia plant powered by nuclear energy in 1983.
A lifelong Conservative who had been involved in politics since his early teens, in 1982 Greg worked with Peter Pocklington on his Federal Progressive Conservative Leadership attempt and he was elected a delegate and engineered the election of many other. Mr. Pocklington had endorsed such policies as an end of government subsidies to hydrocarbon energy, a flat tax system and green economic practices. After he was unsuccessful in approaching the new leader of the Party he resigned from the party.
Greg got involved with the Green Party and became a founding Candidate of the Green Party of Canada in 1983; Greg was called upon by the Green Party Leader Dr. Trevor Hancock to prevent candidate nomination takeovers in the Ottawa ridings by Engineer and professional gambler John Turmel. Greg was nominated as the Green Party of Canada Candidate for Nepean Carlton in the 1983 Federal Election and as the Provincial Candidate in Ottawa Centre in the 1994 by-election. He was a Registered Agent became Chief Agent of the Green Party of Canada in the mid 1980’s. As Chief Agent he worked with other Alternative Parties, formed an association and worked to change Canada’s many unconstitutional election laws and unfair subsidies. By the late 1990s every electoral law challenge he worked on was defeated or changed except election broadcasting.
When many Canadians were arrested for protesting logging at Clayoquot Sound he devised a way for people to contribute to the Green Party of Canada and get tax credits for political contributions (where income was sufficient) to help pay the hundreds of thousands of fines levied by the Courts. A Long battle with Elections Canada ensued where the regulators tried to control the use of the Green Party’s funds. Without the support of the three Parties (P.C., Liberal and NDP) in the House of Commonshe and the Green Party fought off all attempts.
In the mid 1980’s he won several Canadian Radio, Television and Communications Commission (CRTC) decisions against broadcasters for not providing equitable coverage to the Green Party during elections (CRTC 1987-337, 1988-142, 1995-44). In December 1985 the Conservative candidate, then Ottawa city councillor Graham Bird and Liberal candidate and Ottawa radio personality Lowell Green walked off a live television debate on CTV affilate CJOH TV in Ottawa because the station refused to let Greg and two other candidates participate.
Following the 1988 federal election, after a decision of the Attorney General of Canada to stay a prosecution under the Broadcasting Act initiated by the CRTC against several Canadian Television networks, at the instance of the CRTC, a private prosecution was instituted on behalf of the Green Party of Canada by former Chief Agentand Treasurer Greg Vezina against CBC, CTV and Global, claiming that these broadcasters had breached the Television Broadcasting Regulations 1987, because they had not included the Green Party and other accredited and registered small political party Leaders in the Leaders’ debates during a federal general election and had failed to provide equitable time to them.
In R.v. Canadian Broadcasting Corporation et al., [1993] 51 C.P.R.(3d), the Ontario Court of Appeal held that debates were not of a partisan political character. The Court believed that while the participants in a debate may very well be partisan, the program itself, because it presented more than one view, was not. The Court therefore ruled that debates were not covered by the relevant section of the regulations and notwithstanding provisions of under the Canada Elections Act limiting, restricting and in many cases prohibiting contributions of political advertising and broadcasting, declared both Acts to be ‘a complete code’ and therefore there was no requirement to provide any time at all for parties or candidates excluded from debates during election campaigns no matter how many candidates or parties were excluded so long as two or more were included in such programs. (Broadcasters and other media used the same reasoning to exclude commentators and representatives from smaller parties in news and public affairs panels and programs both during and in between elections in Canada). The case was appealed to the Supreme Court of Canada which refused to grant leave to appeal (without reasons as is the custom) in decision 23881 by Justices La Forest, Sopinka and Major JJ, released on May 6, 1994. http://scc.lexum.org/decisia-scc-csc/scc-csc/bulletins/en/item/21/index.do (Judgements of the Supreme Court of Canada, Bulletin of May 6, 1994) Subsequently, the CRTC issued Public Notice CRTC 1995-44, Election-period broadcasting: Debates, which stated, In view of this judgment, the Commission will no longer require that so-called “debates” programs feature all rival parties or candidates in one or more programs. http://www.crtc.gc.ca/eng/archive/1995/pb95-44.htm
During the Trial and Appeals he approached Moses Znaimer and Denise Donlon of City TV and Much Music and in the 1993 election he co-produced the award winning TV programs Talk me to your Leader and Vote with a vengeance. In both the 1993 and the 2000 elections, Greg Vezina working as an independent producer and the Green Party of Canada and the Natural Law Party of Canada organized All Party Leaders Debates which invited the leaders of all registered and accredited parties to participate. On both occasions the leaders of the major parties declined, but the leaders of the other smaller political parties participated. While all other members of the Election Broadcasting Consortium (CBC and CTV National Networks, Global Television, and the Quebec broadcaster) failed to broadcast the 1993 program after announcing they would, in both the 1993 and 2000 the one hour debates were carried on CBC Newsworld and the debates and another hour of town hall questions and answers afterword on CPAC (English: Cable Public Affairs Channel and in French: La Chaîne d’affaires publiques par câble). The 2000 Debate was also covered extensively on CP-24 and it was the first of its kind broadcast and archived on the Internet on the Democracy Channel® website http://democracychannel.net and YouTube at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ljrYJ2zMFac
In 2000 he applied for Canadian and US Trademarks for Democracy Channel® and in 2003 he obtained the United States Trade Mark Registration Number 2756761 and subsequently obtained the Canadian Trade Mark Registration Number TMA787729 as well.
In 1985 Greg ran as the Green Party of Ontario in the 1985 Ontario provincial election in Ottawa West and he left the Green Party to run as the Progressive Conservative (P.C.) Candidate in the 1987 Ontario provincial election in Ottawa Centre. In the 1990 Ontario provincial election he ran as the P.C. Candidate in Scarborough Ellesmere. Along time supporter of Mike Harris who he knew from his home town, in 1989 Greg worked to change the Party Constitution from a delegated convention to a one person one vote process. This change was key to Mike Harris winning the Leadership in 1990. After the election Greg won a party campaign award for election signs and material. His were traditional Party blue with a new twist, neon Green.
A tireless fighter for Political reform and citizen referendum he supported these policies in the 1995 Ontario Election but did not run as a candidate and after Premier Harris formed a majority government when it became apparent the new government would not introduce referendum legislation or green policies he left the party. Ten Ontario Provincial and Municipal Referendum laws approved at Committee were never introduced by Premier Harris.
Vezina was successful in writing one important Legislative change. In 2000 Premier Harris made contributions for political tax credits refundable for the poor. Previously only upper and middle income citizens got up to 75% refunds. This change did not help the Premiers P.C. Party whose members generally had taxable income and got the tax credits before.
In 1993 the Federal Progressive-Conservative, Liberal and New Democratic parties rigged the Canadian election laws and tried to have the Green Party of Canada de-registered and have its assets seized. Greg and Kathy lent the Party $25,000.00 for Candidate election campaign deposits in order to maintain the legal registry of the Green Party of Canada. They waited over ten years to get repaid.
Also in 1993, with financial support of Frank Stronach and Magna International he co-wrote the book Democracy, Eh? A guide to Voter Action, with John Deverell, a Toronto Star reporter. http://www.amazon.com/Democracy-Eh-Guide-Voter-Action/dp/1895854156 A copy of the book can be read or download free here: https://nota.ca/democracy-book/
In 1993 Greg and Kathy also started Online Direct, Vote Direct and Internet polling and election programs with the same TV networks they had previously fought. He simulcast political debates and election programs and created the world’s largest internet poll with CTV affiliate Baton Broadcasting for the 1995 Quebec Referendum.
In 1997 Online Direct Foiled Canada’s Election Poll Ban, when they found a way around an Elections Canada warning prohibiting the publishing of any polling results, by removing their Online Election polls from their website in Canada and publishing them on the Internet from Florida, U.S. based server, through election day, as reported by Wired Magazine in “Web Sites Foil Canada’s Election Poll Ban.” https://www.wired.com/1997/06/web-sites-foil-canadas-election-poll-ban/
In 2000 they created the Knowledge Compass learning tool and search engine with (the late) Fred Weibe who had developed the “HYWY 101©” Knowledge Map between 1981 and 1999, and they started HYWY Corp. and HYWY Software Corp. which developed the HYWY PE:J Productivity Environment for JAVA, platform and vendor independent software for JAVA applications and licenced it to SUN Microsystems, Rational Software and IBM.
In 2002 he helped to convince the present Ontario Provincial Liberal Premier Dalton McGuinty to make and keep an election promise for a Provincial Referendum on electoral reform and proportional representation. The provincial referendum was scheduled for October of 2007. On October 10th. 2007 the referendum was held concurrent with the Ontario General Election. The measure did not pass.
In November of 2006 CBC and CNN International broadcast items about their Hydrofuel technology. The news item may be viewed at http://www.gregvezina.ca or on You Tube at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L0hBAz6MxC4 Greg and Kathy restarted their lifelong endeavour to develop NH3 as an energy currency and automotive fuel. C.A.E.C.-Canadian Alternative Energy Corp. opened it’s website http://www.nh3fuel.ca and Hydrofuel Inc. was started in Canada, the USA, the EU and Australia http://www.nh3fuel.com
In October 2007 Greg Vezina was a guest speaker at the 4th. Ammonia fuel conference in San Francisco, CA. A transcript of the speech may be linked to at that site http://www.energy.iastate.edu/Renewable/ammonia/ammonia/2007/Vezina_Transcript_NH3.pdf or http://www.energy.iastate.edu/Renewable/ammonia/ammonia/ammoniaMtg07.htm or the company website.
In March of 2010 Hydrofuel Inc. released a video of two new ammonia fuel conversions for vehicles and electrical power generators which can be seen at http://nh3fuel.com
In January of 2011, they released the original printed and new digital versions of the “HYWY 101©” Knowledge Map and several new digital search tools on the internet at http://vez.com or http://hywy101.com
During the 2014 Ontario General Election Greg founded and became leader of the None of the Above Party of Ontario and ran as one of the eight founding candidates. Greg ran again in the Feb. 2016 Whitby-Oshawa by-election. Details on the NOTA Party are on their http://nota.ca website.
In 2018 the NOTA Party had candidates nominated in 42 of the 124 ridings for the General Election. By early March of 2022 the NOTA Party had already nominated candidates in almost half of the 124 ridings for the June 2, 2022 Ontario Provincial election, with efforts underway to nominate candidates in every riding.
In October of 2016, Greg was listed in the Journal of Cleaner Production as a Co-Author of “Comparative Life Cycle Assessment of Various Ammonia Production Methods.” In May of 2017 he was listed in Environmental Management as Co-Author of “Impact Assessment and Environmental Evaluation of Various Ammonia Production Processes. This and several other research papers with the Ontario Tech University (OTU), also know as the University of Ontario Institute of Technology (UOIT), have been published in peer reviewed journals and the AIChE journal from the 2017 convention.
By 2022 Greg’s company Hydrofuel Inc. had completed six research projects with OTU. Summaries are on the Mitcas website at https://www.mitacs.ca/en/partner/hydrofuel-inc, and all will be available on the Hydrofuel Inc. website at https://nh3fuel.com
Kathy and Greg are also developing new Learning, “alternative health” and well-being modalities. They continue to push the envelope and show how enlightened self interest can be used for the common good.
Greg and Kathy will release new book “Ammonia Energy Solution”, which will be published and released in written and electronic formats in 2022. The electronic version will be available free on the Internet. Both Hardcover and Paperback versions of the book will be available with customized author signatures and notes.
Greg and Kathy have two “Amazing” children.
