Trudeau, cabinet pursued by protesters at Hamilton retreat
A small group of protesters launched fireworks at the conference centre where the cabinet retreat is underway
A small but vocal group of roughly 20 protesters has set up outside Trudeau's hotel and the site of the retreat. The protesters have used techniques similar to those deployed by the protest convoy that converged on Ottawa a year ago.
The Hamilton crowd has shouted at the prime minister at all hours of the day — taunting him with chants of "tyrant" and "traitor" and cries of "f*** Trudeau," while carrying flags and signs bearing the same messages.
One protester has carried a "We love the fringe" flag — a reference to Trudeau's past comment that anti-vaccine elements in Canada constitute a "fringe minority."

They also have been honking car horns in the early morning hours.
Some of the protesters have draped themselves in the Canadian flag, a fashion choice that was followed by some anti-vaccine mandate protesters on Parliament Hill last year.
The demonstrators are vehemently opposed to the prime minister's handling of the COVID-19 health crisis and his policy of vaccine mandates for travellers and some cross-border workers — policies that were dropped last year as part of a push to return to pre-pandemic life.

The protesters also have been carrying signs denouncing the World Economic Forum (WEF), a non-governmental organization that hosts discussions between world and business leaders at an annual summit in Davos, Switzerland.
The WEF is at the centre of many COVID-related conspiracy theories because, in 2020, some of its leaders talked about a "great reset" after the health crisis — a chance to evaluate how the global economy is structured after grappling with such a devastating pandemic.
On Tuesday evening, as Trudeau and his cabinet walked across the street to a local restaurant for dinner, a crowd gathered — prompting the RCMP protection detail to close ranks and shuffle him into the hotel through a side entrance to avoid some angry elements of the crowd.
The demonstrators pounded on the windows of the restaurant, Bread Bar, a move that unsettled a number of the cabinet ministers inside, sources said.

Some cabinet ministers also shielded their colleagues from the demonstrators as they encircled Trudeau and his entourage on the walk back to the conference complex, said sources, who spoke on the condition of anonymity.
The Bread Bar protesters also carried an inflatable sheep wearing a face mask, with a sign that read "99.8 per cent survival rate" — a reference to COVID-19.

On Monday night, the protesters launched fireworks at the hotel building — pelting the windows of the mezzanine-level bar — prompting the considerable security presence assembled at the hotel to lower the blinds and discreetly move Trudeau away from windows.
The fireworks were back again Tuesday evening as protesters directed their firepower at the windows of the 301-room Sheraton Hamilton Hotel. Trudeau wasn't in the room as the fireworks bounced off the building.

About a half-dozen protesters were on hand at the city's McMaster Automotive Resource Centre as Trudeau toured the facility and spoke to reporters about an upcoming federal-provincial summit on health-care funding.
"F*** you, Trudeau," one of them shouted as police kept protesters at bay, and as Trudeau and his ministers hopped in their cars to head back to the conference centre.

In a statement sent to CBC News, Hamilton Police said no arrests have been made in relation to any of the cabinet retreat protests.
The police said they were prepared for Tuesday's demonstrations outside the Sheraton Hotel and Bread Bar restaurant and "proactively closed off" some streets in the city's downtown core to "facilitate a peaceful demonstration and to ensure the orderly movement of vehicular and pedestrian traffic throughout the city."
"Hamilton Police continue to recognize the fundamental rights of individuals to peacefully protest, as identified in the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms,' the police said.
"Our goal is to keep the peace and maintain a safe environment for everyone."
Asked about the security situation Wednesday at the retreat's closing news conference, Trudeau said he doesn't think the demonstrators represent the people of Hamilton.
"Let me say that the welcome that I've gotten here in Hamilton has been extraordinary. The people I've met, the students here, the folks and teams that I met in various places during our couple of days here have been thoughtful and open and warm," Trudeau said.
"And a handful of angry people do not define what Hamilton is or what democracy is."

Trudeau said it's "really important" that people "express their disagreement or displeasure or even anger with various governments."
"Our police services and institutions will ensure that those protests remain peaceful and law-abiding," he added. "That's something that really matters. We will always ensure that people are free to express their perspective.
"But I want to make sure that everyone understands that a handful of people don't represent Hamiltonians."

Trudeau's cabinet set for 3-day retreat in Hamilton ahead of Parliament's return
Liberal government released plan for affordability measures during September retreat
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his ministers will spend the next three days in a Hamilton hotel, hammering out their political and policy strategy for the weeks and months ahead. The House of Commons is scheduled to resume sitting on Jan. 30.
In a written statement last week, Trudeau said the retreat will have ministers look at ways to make life more affordable, and "seize new opportunities for Canadian workers and businesses."
He is fresh off a week of cross-country travel that focused heavily on Canada's push to expand its battery and electric-vehicle industries, including mining the critical minerals they both rely on.
But the retreat comes as Canadians continue to feel the financial pinch of more than a year of heightened inflation, and now with an economy many expect to dip into a recession this year.
"We're facing tough times right now," Trudeau said last week during a stop at a Stellantis assembly plant in Windsor, Ont.
A recession would come after three years of instability and anxiety driven first by the COVID-19 pandemic, followed by the Russian invasion in Ukraine and pandemic-related supply chain interruptions. Both contributed to inflation and subsequent interest-rate hikes to slow it down.

"A lot of the prime minister's time in office has been defined by how he's had to respond to a series of emerging crises, and Canadians are starting this year looking at several once again," said Braeden Caley, executive director of the Canada 2020 think tank and a former director of communications for the Liberal Party of Canada.
Affordability was also top of mind at the last Liberal cabinet retreat in Vancouver in September. The government did put some aid on the table including temporary hikes to GST rebates and the federal housing benefit for renters. It also moved on a dental-care benefit for young children as part of the confidence-and-supply agreement the Liberals reached with the NDP last March.
Time to take stock and set new goals
The fall economic statement promised to help low- and modest-income workers with adjustments to the Canada Workers Benefit to advance the money quarterly, and to permanently end interest on federal student loans.
Carlene Variyan, associate vice-president at Summa Strategies and a former senior staffer in several Liberal ministers' offices, said if there are more measures coming it will be similar to what has already been offered.
"I think we know what the playbook is from this government on measures to to support Canadians during times of economic downturn, it's always going to be policies that are very focused on workers and delivering direct support to families rather than trickle down measures," she said.
Variyan said she expects the retreat will be a chance for the cabinet to take a step back and revisit their mandate letters, a little more than a year since they were issued after the 2021 election.
"I expect that they'll be spending a fair amount of time in Hamilton next week doing a stock take of what they've been able to accomplish in a year and what they realistically expect to be able to accomplish during the remainder of the mandate," she said.
"World events have changed a lot of dynamics, whether it's trade or economic conditions, or obviously the war in Ukraine. So how have those priorities evolved or changed?"
Trudeau spent much of the last week meeting individually with most of his ministers to start that process. There had been some speculation Trudeau would choose to rejig his team before the House returns but there will be no shuffle at this point.
Cabinet also has to keep in mind the government's confidence-and-supply deal with the NDP. New Democrat Leader Jagmeet Singh signalled last week that the promise to pass pharmacare legislation this year must be upheld to keep the deal going.
Justin Trudeau's put-up-or-shut-up moment
If he’s lucky, the prime minister has more than two years to make a case for a fourth term. But what if voters are simply tired of him?
Seven years to the day after that sunny morning in 2015 when he and his new cabinet walked down the tree-lined drive to Rideau Hall, Justin Trudeau visited a community centre in a working-class neighbourhood of apartment towers and public housing in northeastern Toronto.
Inside a second-floor meeting room – scuffed laminate floors, fluorescent lights, two portable air conditioners and a foosball table – 34 chairs were arranged in a circle. Families and seniors from the area filled 31 of the chairs.
Following a short wait, Trudeau entered the room. After a general greeting he proceeded around the circle — meeting each person individually, leaning in, making eye contact — before taking a seat between Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland and Michael Coteau, the local Liberal MP.
After briefly reviewing the fall economic statement his government had tabled the day before, Trudeau told the group he was there to hear directly from them “on how things are going, on what you’re preoccupied with, what issues you’re facing and how we can be helpful on things.”
It was still a friendly room — Coteau won the riding with 59 per cent of the vote in 2021 — and there was applause when Trudeau talked about doubling the GST rebate. But the uncomfortable facts of life in November 2022 kept creeping in. A mother with two young children talked about how things are getting more expensive. An older woman said she was thankful for food banks — but also thankful that she lived in Canada.
“We know that too many Canadians are dealing with the rising cost of living,” Trudeau told the news conference that followed. “We hear you and we’re there for you.”
Later, Trudeau visited a food bank and community kitchen in Mississauga. One of the managers told him the centre had gone from serving 600 people per month before the pandemic to serving 1,000 people per month.

While Trudeau was confronting the difficult reality of his eighth year as prime minister, the leader of the Official Opposition was assigning blame. That same day, before a friendly audience in downtown Toronto, Pierre Poilievre delivered a speech entitled “The Bursting Bubble.” In it, the Conservative leader argued that everything from inflation to housing prices to a purported lack of oil and gas development was the fault of too much government regulation and too much government spending.
“This is the fundamental misunderstanding of Justin Trudeau and his government,” Poilievre said. “Government cannot give you anything without first taking it away.“
A few weeks later, Poilievre put his basic complaint in less philosophical terms. “Do you ever feel like everything is broken in Canada?” he asked in a video that focused on the scourge of opioid abuse.
Those first weeks of Trudeau’s eighth year in power were not uneventful. Parliament passed legislation to create a new dental benefit for low-income families. The government released a new Indo-Pacific strategy, a national climate adaptation strategy and a critical minerals strategy. Trudeau pointedly criticized the Ontario government’s latest use of the notwithstanding clause and nominated four new independent senators. The prime minister became the first world leader to appear on RuPaul’s Drag Race and the Liberal Party won a byelection in the Ontario riding of Mississauga—Lakeshore.
But the most evocative idea of the fall came in the form of that question posed by Poilievre. And it didn’t escape Trudeau’s notice — or ire. In an interview with CBC News in his West Block office one afternoon in mid-December, a day after that byelection win, Trudeau brought up Poilievre’s line unprompted.
“Canadians are still — and have reason to be — really optimistic about our future as a country, even though, yeah, it’s really tough right now,” he said.
Trudeau said he believes that, in a changing and challenging world, Canada’s fundamentals and values set it up for success. He pointed to the way the country came through the pandemic as evidence that Canadians overcome tough times.
The contrast between that attitude and the idea that Canada is “broken” is something Trudeau said inspires him, and should inspire Canadians as well.
“That focus on what has made Canadians successful through really difficult times should be and is energizing,” he said.

On that day in mid-December, Trudeau seemed particularly energized. His responses to questions were long and effusive, running from one idea to the next.
A government seeking re-election after nearly a decade in office can’t afford to look as tired as Trudeau’s government did in the spring and summer of 2022. And Trudeau is trying to do something no prime minister has done in 114 years — lead his party to victory in a fourth consecutive federal election. (A bronze bust of the last prime minister to do it, Wilfrid Laurier, stands guard in the hall outside Trudeau’s West Block office.)
But prime ministers are measured not simply by enthusiasm, but by what they do and how well they meet the moment.
In the early days of Trudeau’s time as Liberal leader, some of his advisers took to collecting examples of media reports that referred to events or debates as Trudeau’s “first real test” — the joke being that journalists were always coming up with new moments that were truly going to take the measure of the man.
It’s fair to say Trudeau has passed a few tests over the past seven years. He is now the tenth longest-serving prime minister and he could rank as high as seventh before he faces the electorate again.
The next test — perhaps the final one — is the time that remains between now and the next election. If the confidence-and-supply agreement with the NDP holds, Trudeau has a little less than three years to restate the case for himself — and build a stronger foundation under the promise of 2015.
The promise was “better.”
“This is Canada,” Trudeau said, standing on a stage in the middle of a hockey arena in Brampton, Ont., two weeks before election day in 2015. “And in Canada, better is always possible.”
That scene was a show of force. Trudeau was addressing a large rally meant to convey the party’s building momentum. Video from the event — Trudeau in full rhetorical flight, cheered on by 7,000 sign-waving supporters — would be cut into one of the campaign’s final television ads.
“Better is always possible” was Trudeau’s four-word rejoinder to more than nine years of Stephen Harper’s Conservative government. With a few exceptions, Harper governed like a careful incrementalist, trying to slowly nudge the centre of Canadian politics to the right. Part of that project was a steady effort to chip away at both the ambition and the capacity of the federal government. Trudeau promised more. And he promised to deal with the unaddressed problems that had started piling up — climate change, reconciliation, economic inequality.
“There are many, many issues where Harper and I part ways,” Trudeau said that day in Brampton. “But none is greater than this: Stephen Harper lacks ambition for our country.”

Caution and risk avoidance have never been hallmarks of Trudeau’s style. The 88-page platform the Liberals ran on in 2015 offered 353 promises — nearly twice as many as the Conservatives ran on in 2006.
Such a long list of promises might simply reflect the number of things a government could — or should — be doing to address the problems of a complex modern society. But it hasn’t always been obvious over the past seven years that Trudeau built a government capable of doing and accounting for all those things; a “mandate tracker” rolled out in 2017 has been collecting dust since June 2019.
Asked to assess the prime minister’s strengths and weaknesses, one former government official said Trudeau can be relentless in pursuing his vision and is most concerned with reconciliation, climate change and the government’s broader equality agenda. (CBC News spoke with multiple sources in and around the Trudeau government for this piece. Some were granted confidentiality so that they could speak candidly.)
The prime minister is less focused on classic economic issues, the former official said — although Liberals would argue that climate change, reconciliation and equality are fundamentally economic matters. Trudeau is deliberative and reflective, likes to hear different perspectives and asks smart, pointed questions of the officials who brief him, the former official said. But Trudeau’s administration can take an unduly long time to make decisions, the official added. And it doesn’t like to say no — it wants to fix every problem. (Many of these observations have been corroborated by other sources.)

That same ex-official said Trudeau is an adept and thoughtful chair of cabinet. Former finance minister Bill Morneau apparently has a different opinion of his former boss — in a new book, Morneau reportedly claims that Trudeau’s “management and interpersonal communication abilities were sorely lacking.”
In its public statements, Trudeau’s government is often long on ideals and short on explanations and details. It has struggled at times to live up to those ideals; if you’re going to call yourself a feminist, you can expect to be castigated every time your actions fall short. And even if the Trudeau government’s record of keeping promises compares reasonably well with its predecessors (none of them had a pandemic to deal with), it’s not hard to draw up a list of unfulfilled hopes.
The promise of electoral reform crashed and burned spectacularly. Talk of pharmacare and peacekeeping simply didn’t amount to much. It’s still not clear what the Canada Infrastructure Bank will accomplish. Journalists in Ottawa will point out that Canada’s access to information system remains a shambles.
The last seven years also have witnessed an array of uniquely Trudeaupian scandals and controversies — from the trip to the Aga Khan’s private island to the SNC-Lavalin affair to Julie Payette’s appointment as Governor General to the trip to Tofino on the first national day for truth and reconciliation.
To his many critics, Trudeau will always be an ex-drama teacher, a dilettante, a disappointment. But the outline of a larger legacy has emerged.
The Canada Child Benefit and other reforms that led to a significant drop in poverty. A national price on carbon and a sea-change in federal climate policy. Marijuana legalization. Senate reform. A national child-care system. Launching a program that resettled more than 40,000 Syrian refugees and overseeing a historic increase in immigration.
Buying the Trans Mountain pipeline. Contending with Donald Trump. Governing through a pandemic. Signing that confidence-and-supply agreement with the NDP. Challenging the political orthodoxy on balanced budgets. Partially reversing a three-decade-long shrinking trend in the federal government.
There also have been some important milestones: a Liberal Party that is unreservedly pro-choice, the first gender-balanced federal cabinet, the first prime minister to march in a Pride parade, the first Indigenous Governor General, the first Indigenous Supreme Court justice.

“Quibbles aside,” the economist Armine Yanlnizyan wrote in a recent column, “show me a more progressive federal Canadian government over the past half century.”
Some New Democrats might reply that the competition for that title is rather weak. But it’s possible that the Trudeau decade — however flawed the government and its chief spokesperson — will have established a new progressive benchmark for the things a federal government must do, one with which future governments, even Conservative ones, might have to contend.
Trudeau has expressed the hope that this period might be a turning point for Canada’s relationship with Indigenous Peoples. It was a question about reconciliation during the leaders’ debates in last year’s election that prompted him to muse that the “cynicism” of those who “discount” progress is “one of the enemies of progressive politics.”
But if his commitment to reconciliation is now open to cynicism, Trudeau might have to take some blame for that.
Two days after that speech in Brampton in 2015, Trudeau appeared at a televised town hall organized by Vice Media. He said a government led by him would commit to eliminating all drinking water advisories in Indigenous communities within five years. It was a worthy idea. But it’s not obvious that timeline was ever feasible.
This idea of Trudeau’s government as one more interested in talk than action — in “pretty words,” as NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh is fond of saying — has haunted it almost from day one.
In the fall of 2015, there were 105 long-term drinking water advisories in place in Indigenous communities across the country. But in the years that followed, new long-term advisories came into effect and the federal government also expanded its criteria to include water systems not previously covered. After seven years, the federal government says it has invested $5.6 billion and lifted 137 advisories. But 31 remain in effect.
Had Trudeau not made such a specific commitment, he might now have an easier time claiming credit for progress achieved. Then again, without such a promise hanging over it, the machinery of government might have moved even slower.
But this idea of Trudeau’s government as one more interested in talk than action — in “pretty words,” as NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh is fond of saying — has haunted it almost from day one.
The sense that this government hasn’t lived up to its promises probably helps to explain why it has failed to regain a majority, said Dan Arnold, who ran polling for the Trudeau government as director of research in the Prime Minister’s Office until his departure last December. Enough progressive voters, feeling let down by the Liberals, have been willing to vote for the NDP, Arnold said in an interview last fall.
“My thought process before I left PMO was very much, ‘This next mandate has to be about delivering on these issues and actually showing results,’“ said Arnold, now chief strategy officer at Pollara, a polling firm. “If the prime minister does choose to run again, I think a lot of the success there does hinge on — has this government actually accomplished these things, or has it been mostly ten years of talk? Something like lifting boil water advisories in all the Indigenous reserves in Canada — I think that becomes a very good example of that.”
This need to demonstrate results applies to much more than the reconciliation file. In a survey of potential Liberal voters published last fall, 70 per cent said the government hadn’t “done much to combat climate change.”
But Trudeau’s desire for big goals apparently was not shaken by the boil-water advisory experience.
Before the 2019 election, Trudeau was presented with a proposal to plant one billion trees over 10 years, part of an effort to combat climate change. After looking at the numbers himself, Trudeau argued that two billion trees — roughly five trees for every Canadian over a decade — was a feasible and worthier target. That became the Liberal promise.
One former adviser frames this impulse in positive terms: Trudeau pushes for better. But the Liberals can be sure the Conservatives and NDP will be eager to turn unplanted trees into a symbol for a whole decade in power if the planting doesn’t go well over the next few years.
The government presented the end of the pandemic as an opportunity for “building back better.” Merely getting back to the old normal has proved challenging.
The Omicron variant of COVID-19 hit shortly after the 2021 election, triggering another round of health restrictions. Then came the convoy protest that gridlocked downtown Ottawa and key border crossings for weeks. That was followed by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

The new crisis is inflation — and the polls aren’t showing much satisfaction with the federal government.
In July, Abacus Data found the public’s feelings toward Trudeau were as bad as they had ever been: 31 per cent said they had a positive view of the prime minister, 51 per cent said they had a negative view. That was not far from how Canadians felt about Stephen Harper shortly before the Conservatives were defeated in 2015. Back then, 27 per cent of respondents said they had a positive view of Harper, while 56 per cent said negative.
Maybe Trudeau’s government should have moved faster in response to inflation — he said in that December interview a reduction in child care fees was fortuitous but conceded that the GST boost, which the NDP pushed for, could have come sooner. But the greater danger for the government, Arnold said, was in seeming “out of touch.” That could be a matter of tone and focus as much as action.
Trudeau has lived a privileged and altogether unusual life, so he is more vulnerable to such a charge than most. But he also should understand the danger of appearing out of touch — because it’s exactly what he said about Harper in that speech in Brampton in 2015.
“Stephen Harper just doesn’t see what you’re going through. When you spend a decade in a motorcade, you don’t have to worry about traffic jams,” Trudeau said. “That’s what happens when you’ve been in power too long.”

Despite the alien aspects of his upbringing, Trudeau’s lifelong relationship with the public has been one of his greatest assets. His willingness and ability to engage with people — unlike the more solitary Harper — has been one of his most valuable strengths. Melanie Paradis, a strategist who advised former Conservative leader Erin OToole, figures Trudeau was at his strongest during the annual town hall tours he did during his first term, when Canadians could see him explaining himself, interacting and empathizing with regular people.
“I think there is a lot of important psychology … around demonstrating a willingness to listen, to hear the complaints of the people, to show compassion and then to go do something about it. His ability to do that was one of his greatest strengths,” Paradis said.
“I don’t know if he still has that ability or if the past two years of the incredible amount of polarization that we’ve seen in this country have made that impossible — which, to be fair, is not entirely on his lap. There were a lot of players, but he certainly hasn’t helped. That’s his greatest weakness.”
At the same time, Trudeau’s very public profile often runs the risk of overexposure. After a bruising election campaign in 2019, there was a sense around the prime minister that Trudeau needed to be less prominent.

The pandemic made large gatherings like town halls impossible, or at least inadvisable. And a town hall in 2023 might be swamped by the shouts and catcalls of those who hate him most, as so many of Trudeau’s campaign events were in the fall of 2021 after he drew a hard line on vaccine mandates. (Someone has made a lot of money printing “F— Trudeau” flags over the past two years.)
During his first and second terms, Trudeau also made semi-regular rounds of phone calls with Canadians who had written to his office with concerns or complaints. It doesn’t appear that he kept up the practice in 2022.
The closest Trudeau has come to recapturing the spirit of those town halls since was (ironically) during his November appearance before the commission investigating his government’s use of the Emergencies Act. On the stand and under oath, Trudeau explained and defended himself at length and in detail. He was engaged, focused and expansive. People who have worked with him say that’s the Trudeau they see behind closed doors.

By all accounts, Trudeau came back from an August family vacation in Costa Rica with a spring in his step. “I haven’t seen him this energized in a long time,” said Miller, a friend of Trudeau’s since high school.
While the vacation seems to have been pleasant, there was no moment of soul-searching about the PM’s career path, no pivotal walk in the sand. Instead, Trudeau traces his upbeat mood to a visit to the Calgary Stampede in July.
“It was getting out and seeing crowds again and connecting with people and having conversations,” Trudeau said.
Though he calls himself an introvert, Trudeau feeds off interaction. It’s also how he reads the public’s mood. As Trudeau made a series of stops across the country this summer, he peppered his director of policy with ideas and requests based on the conversations he was having.
Not everyone was perfectly happy to see him, of course. Trudeau recalls coming to a Stampede volunteer booth staffed by four people. The first three shook his hand. The fourth kept his arms crossed.

A senior Liberal (who also spoke to CBC News on the condition they not be named) said there was a sense internally that the government was not focusing on the right things last spring — in part because of unforeseen events like the convoy protests and war in Europe — and that it needed to get back to basics.
The core of the Liberal campaign in 2015 was a promise to deal with the economic concerns of the “middle class and those working hard to join it.” The Liberals weren’t saying much about such things in the spring of 2022. And Poilievre was at least giving voice to many Canadians’ frustration and anxiety, drawing crowds during the party leadership race that looked a lot like the ones Trudeau once drew to his town halls.
Sitting in his office in December, Trudeau pointed out that some experts viewed higher inflation in the medium term as the more optimistic scenario when COVID-19 sideswiped the global economy in 2020. He also cited all the other things the government could point to — a strong recovery in employment, a deficit and debt situation that still compares favourably with other G7 countries.
“But part of having been sort of cooped up with policy wonks, sending things out to help Canadians, is we weren’t able to have that contact that I had over the summer,” he said. “And over the summer, I really spent time connecting with Canadians again and saying, ‘OK, no, we’ve got to get back on these things that are facing them.’”
Behind closed doors, cabinet and caucus were told to focus on four Cs: competence, confidence, contrast and campaign-readiness (in that order).
Maybe it shouldn’t have taken the summer and a trip outside Ottawa for Trudeau to realize that. But when he delivered public remarks at a Liberal caucus retreat in September, the change in tone was conspicuous. “A lot of people are concerned about the future and a lot of people are having a tough time right now,” he said.
Behind closed doors, cabinet and caucus were told to focus on four Cs: competence, confidence, contrast and campaign-readiness (in that order). The first two are the most important to Trudeau’s re-election chances: governing well could boost Canadians’ confidence in the government.
The emphasis on “contrast” is readily apparent — when Trudeau and his ministers speak these days, they almost always offer some comment on what Poilievre would or might do differently. Conservatives might interpret that reaction as fear. Liberals might hope those differences serve to motivate progressive voters and inspire the troops; a senior Liberal said Poilievre’s election as Conservative leader has inspired a number of former government staff members and volunteers to ask about getting involved again.
Based on Trudeau’s comments, the fourth C isn’t meant to suggest the Liberals want an election sooner rather than later. An election in 2025, when the Liberal-NDP deal is set to expire, is “a very, very solid assumption,” Trudeau said.
That’s not entirely his decision to make. But the Liberals may need all that time to ride out an economic slowdown and build a record of new achievements they can run on after a decade in office.
Another part of that 2015 speech in Brampton resonates now.
“After 10 long years in power, it’s like they’ve stopped trying,” Trudeau said, noting that the prime minister was seeking a fourth term in power.
“It’s like a bad movie franchise. By the time you get to the third or fourth sequel, most of the stars are gone and the plot is getting pretty thin.”
It’s not hard to imagine Poilievre repeating that attack, almost verbatim, in 2025.
Reminded of these comments in December, Trudeau said he stands by his words. “One of the challenges around Mr. Harper is that he got elected with five priorities and knocked them off and, OK, what else do you do?” he said. “When you’re just trying to manage things and just get through and incrementally change the country to be a little more conservative, it’s hard to get … that new energy."
When Trudeau met with his cabinet in Vancouver back in September, he privately stated his desire to lead the Liberal Party into the next election. Publicly, he has never suggested otherwise. But there were rumblings about some potential successors getting ready to run, just in case. His comments in Vancouver seem to have pushed those rumblings to the background.
Trudeau recalled that he was 13 years old when his father left politics and said he wants to be sure he’s spending enough time with his wife Sophie Gregoire and three kids (now eight, 13 and 15). He also said that while he prides himself on being open to all possibilities and counter-arguments, there was never a moment when he thought he wouldn’t continue to lead the party.
Still, if the Liberals had lost that byelection in December, questions about Trudeau’s future would have come rushing back. And 2025 is a long way off. If Trudeau’s position or that of his government worsens — if Trudeau’s personal approval numbers continue to erode, if the Conservative Party takes and holds a significant lead in national polling, if there is another scandal — the decision could be taken out of his hands.

One advantage Trudeau may have over Harper is in his opponent. Seven years ago, Harper was up against Trudeau, who was viewed positively by 44 per cent of Canadians and negatively by 30 per cent, according to polling at the time by Abacus. In December, Poilievre was seen positively by 29 per cent and negatively by 34 per cent of poll respondents.
There is a theory about Trudeau — that he’s most prone to making mistakes when he’s doing well and is at his best when he’s trailing. He has had to effectively come from behind to win in each of the last three elections. But Trudeau — a politician blessed with several natural advantages — has put himself in those unfortunate positions. In 2021, the Liberals entered the campaign — a campaign they launched — with a lead, then frittered it away to a point where the Conservatives were briefly on track to win.
At the same time, the Liberal Party’s margin for error has dwindled. Over the last three elections, the Liberal vote has dropped from 6.9 million to six million to 5.6 million.
Misgivings about Poilievre might be enough to allow Trudeau to squeeze out another win. But the Liberals would have a better chance of re-election if they also had a positive argument to make for themselves.
Trudeau’s read of the 2015 election is that it was about seizing opportunity in a changing world and making Canadians feel confident about the future. That might seem hard to reconcile now with polling that shows only 30 per cent of Canadians think the country is on the right track. (Recent election results in the United States suggest that right track/wrong track polling is not necessarily a simple judgment on the incumbent government.) But it segues neatly into what excites Trudeau now.

It wasn’t just Calgary’s hospitality that Trudeau credited for his current energy. It was also his trips to Sorel-Tracy, Que. to announce funding for a plant that produces critical materials used in electric cars and batteries; to Hamilton, Ont. to commit funding for a plant that produces “green” steel; to Stephenville, Nfld. to sign a deal with Germany on hydrogen exports: and to Ingersoll, Ont. to celebrate the launch of the first full-scale electric vehicle plant in Canada. Trudeau now talks about third-generation steelworkers who can see a future for seventh- or eighth-generation steelworkers.
He’s framed this as the culmination of many things, including his government putting a price on carbon emissions and a new global hunger for reliable supplies of energy and resources from open, democratic countries. “It’s all coming together,” Trudeau said. In a speech to Liberal MPs in December, he vowed that “Canada will become the clean energy and technology supplier a net-zero world will need.”
That’s an idea Trudeau could put up against Poilievre’s notion of a broken country. But what if Canadians are simply tired of Trudeau?
In December, Trudeau said that if the government does its work well — “which we’re very much focused on” — the decision facing Canadians will be less about him and more about two very different visions of the country. It’ll be about whether Canada continues to fight climate change, trust science, pursue reconciliation, counter racism and invest in things like child care, Trudeau argued.
As Arnold points out, there is a block of voters who simply don’t like the prime minister. According to polling from the Angus Reid Institute, 91 per cent of Conservatives disapprove of Trudeau’s performance. But other voters remain persuadable — the same poll found that 55 per cent of NDP voters still approve of Trudeau. (Eighty-three per cent of Liberal voters approve of Trudeau.)
If Poilievre intends to argue that everything is broken, the Liberals have an obvious interest in minimizing the number of things that seem in need of fixing.
Without saying the Conservative leader’s name, Trudeau framed the alternative in terms of populism, tearing things down, “trickle-down” economics and a longing for an idealized past of old-fashioned values. The name “Trump” came up at one point.
(Pierre Poilievre’s office did not respond to CBC’s request for an interview.)
It remains to be seen what exactly Poilievre will run on in the next election. But if Trudeau’s time in office began in opposition to Harperism and then became about responding to the rise of populism, it’s perhaps fitting that Trudeau should face someone like Poilievre, a loud populist and an ideological conservative.
“The world has changed. The question is, who’s got the best idea of how to make sure that all Canadians can benefit from it?” Trudeau said. “That’s not about personalities. That’s about vision and ability to deliver the future that Canadians need.”
Vision and delivery are two different things, of course. Does that mean the next few years will be a put-up-or-shut-up moment for Trudeau, his government and his agenda?
“I wouldn’t phrase it that way, but I would go back to the very first frame I put out, which is people,” he said. “People will lose trust in their institutions if their institutions can’t deliver for them.”
Trudeau said Canada will need strong and trusted public institutions to succeed in the years ahead. But if Poilievre intends to argue that everything is broken, the Liberals have an obvious interest in minimizing the number of things that seem in need of fixing. If Trudeau’s opponent is arguing that a marked turn towards conservatism is required to fix the country, a progressive prime minister’s best response would be to govern well and effectively.
If the Trudeau government seems unable to meet the moment — if demand for food banks remains high or the dream of home ownership remains unattainable for too many — it will be a lot easier for Poilievre to argue that it’s time for a different kind of “better.” And if Poilievre can make the case that Trudeau has failed — on the economy, or the environment, or reconciliation — it will be that much easier for the Conservative leader to move the federal government in a very different direction.

Miller said he doesn’t think Poilievre is what’s motivating Trudeau. But perhaps Poilievre’s arrival has helped to clarify the stakes for Trudeau.
Regardless, Miller said, “there is a sense of unfinished business” within the government. That’s something Trudeau apparently has said behind closed doors — that he’s “not finished.” And his government does have a lot left to do, beyond those two billion trees.
The Liberal-NDP deal includes more than two dozen bullet points, most of them yet to be realized. The prime minister and the premiers are still in the posturing stage of negotiations over what should be a one-in-a-generation opportunity to stabilize and improve public health care. The employment insurance system is still in desperate need of reform. Significant pieces of the government’s climate agenda could be finalized this year. And all of that will play out against the backdrop of what is expected to be an economic slowdown over the next year.
“To have people feel that there’s a track we’re on that is going in the right direction, that requires us to continue to choose a positive vision for the country, that’s what this is about. And that’s the thing that drives me …” Trudeau said.
Poilievre surely would argue that his vision is a positive one, too. But Trudeau also contrasted himself with his father — who, in his words, thought about his “place in history” primarily in terms of repatriating the Constitution and enshrining the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
The question, Trudeau said, is whether his government can “lock in what Canada is doing as an open, progressive, confident democracy” that has resources the world needs and brings in people from everywhere.
“Not that we have the best idea, but that we have really positive ideas that can help the world … All those things that Canada’s done so well are more important than ever on the world stage,” he said.
Trudeau predicted the Conservative Party will make one more attempt at running against the government’s climate policy and the Liberal notion of “inclusive economic growth.”
Those words “lock in” suggest someone who is thinking about a legacy. When this was pointed out, Trudeau backpedaled a bit and said “lock in” sounds a “little aggressive.” But is he worried about a Poilievre government coming to office in 2025 and reversing a lot of what his government has done?
Trudeau said he thinks that “a lot” of what he’s done is “aligned with the way the world needs to be going anyway. So it’d be more like losing time, losing ground as opposed to actually having things reversed.” A Conservative government might scrap the carbon tax, he said, but some future government would only have to bring it back. Ideally, Trudeau said, a country has a natural political cycle of turning slightly to the left and then slightly back to the right, but with a sense of forward movement. He predicted the Conservative Party will make one more attempt at running against the government’s climate policy and the Liberal notion of “inclusive economic growth.”
“And then finally they’ll perhaps figure out that maybe there’s a direction Canada’s going in that we can tweak” but is not reversible, he said.
Then he slipped back into talking about legacy.
“I don’t expect that when the dust settles and I’m a paragraph in some history book, 30 years from now, people are going to be able to point [to the equivalent of] multiculturalism or the [Charter of Rights and Freedoms] as the big legacies or the big consequence,” he said.
“But for me ... my dad was a professor, I’m a teacher. There’s a difference there, right? Where it’s about empowering and building processes that extend forward in the right direction. I mean, a good teacher sets their students up so that the next year, when they move on from them, they’re able to build and move forward on that success.”
Trudeau is shown in his Parliament Hill office in December 2022: 'I don't think about the legacy pieces.' (Michel Aspirot/CBC)
Trudeau said the impact his father had on people wasn’t simply about the Charter of Rights, but was rather about “how they felt about the country.”
“Giving Canadians a sense of optimism and purpose … in a very complicated and messy world — that’s something that affects Canadians and how we see and how we raise our kids and how we build a future for them and how we create our communities,” he said.
“That’s ultimately what matters in this office. So I don’t think about the legacy pieces. I think about how do we make sure that Canada has momentum in the right direction, that’s going to leave the 21st century as being Canada’s century.”
As he did with his “sunny ways” catchphrase of 2015, this is Trudeau again drawing inspiration from Wilfrid Laurier. In 1904, Laurier told an audience at Massey Hall in Toronto that the 20th century would belong to Canada.
Trudeau also is likely aware that Poilievre has tried to claim Laurier as his own, at least insofar as Laurier once said that “freedom” was Canada’s nationality. And perhaps that makes Trudeau, who possesses a competitive streak, just a little more eager to run in 2025.
But there is much more at stake now than ownership of Laurier’s legacy.

Trudeau called to testify at trial for man in London, Ont., gravel-tossing case
Shane Marshall, 25, of St. Thomas faces assault with weapon count stemming from 2021 campaign stop
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has been served with a subpoena to testify at the 2023 trial of a man accused of throwing gravel at the Liberal leader during an election campaign stop in London, Ont., in September last year.
London police charged Shane Marshall, 25, of St. Thomas with one count of assault with a weapon after rocks were thrown at Trudeau as he boarded his federal election campaign bus on Sept. 6, 2021.
Marshall's lawyer, Phillip Millar, told CBC News it's "unbelievably rare" that in a criminal case such as this one, the person who's been allegedly assaulted wouldn't be called to testify in the first place.
"In every prosecution of this type, the complainant or victim would be a witness and testify as to what happened," the London lawyer said. "For the assault to be established in law, the person on the receiving end of it has to know it's happening."
Video footage appears to show that as Trudeau was returning to his campaign bus, pebbles or small gravel pieces were thrown his way while he was facing the opposite direction.
Shortly after, Marshall, who was president of the People's Party of Canada's Elgin Middlesex London riding, was removed from his position in response to the allegations.
2 versions of alleged incident
Court documents obtained by CBC News allege the prime minister gave two different versions of what actually happened that day.

gravel-throwing case. Marshall is seen here at the campaign event in
London on Sept. 6. (CBC)
"Immediately while aboard the bus, the PM told reporters that he 'might have' been struck, but seemed unsure if any pebbles had hit him. When challenged on whether anything had hit him, the PM replied, 'Does it matter?'" the documents said.
The subpoena goes on to say that "in subsequent recordings, the PM states with certainty that he had in fact been struck by gravel." Millar said he expects to cross-examine Trudeau on the conflicting statements.
"Those two versions have to be tested because if the first one is true, then the assault with a weapon is not made out," he said.
When asked how likely it is that Trudeau would testify, Millar said if the prime minister were the victim of a serious crime such as assault, he should legitimately come forward and testify so that the accused could be held accountable.
"The PM is a Canadian citizen like everybody else and shouldn't be subject to different standards when it comes to charges on a very serious crime," Millar said. "I don't know how the Crown can make a case without having him testify."
Trudeau's testimony crucial: court docs
The subpoena states Trudeau's testimony is both material and necessary because it connects the facts of the incident to the elements of the charge, and no one other than the prime minister can provide that evidence.
Millar said if Trudeau doesn't show up to testify in person or virtually, the court could either issue a warrant enforcing attendance or the Crown would be forced to withdraw the charges.
The Prime Minister's Office (PMO) has confirmed to CBC News that the subpoena has been received and there will be a response in due course.
The trial date is set for March 7 and expected to last one day.

By Greg Piper As U.S. service members ramp up their legal challenges to military COVID-19 vaccine mandates, their Canadian counterparts are joining the action. The Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms (JCCF) said Tuesday it had filed "the first of many [planned] injunctions" against the dismissal of Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) members for refusing the shots "on the basis of health concerns, religious or conscientious objections." The Canadian civil liberties group has received "hundreds of requests" for help since January from active-duty members who are facing removal under the Item 5(f) process, it said in a press release. CAF considers them "unsuitable for further service" because they developed "personal weakness or behaviour" due to factors "wholly or chiefly ... within [their] control" by refusing COVID vaccines. Canada's Department of National Defence confirmed to Canadian news organization True North in November that members of the armed forces risk removal as "unsuitable" unless they get an approved accommodation. CAF's vaccination rate was 98.3% in January when it launched formal proceedings against more than 900 members for noncompliance, The Canadian Press reported. Legal challenges are much further along below the border. Navy SEALs with religious objections, represented by First Liberty Institute, won a reprieve in January from a federal judge, who then expanded their action into a class-action suit covering the entire service in March. The Navy said May 25 it has granted 28 religious accommodations. Air Force service members also represented by the Christian legal defense nonprofit recently requested a "class wide temporary restraining order" after their religious exemptions were denied. Only 68 exemptions have been approved. JCCF's first client to go to court is Shannon Jones, "a healthy and skilled" CAF member who stands to lose her pension unless her injunction is approved at next week's hearing. Director of Communications Marnie Cathcart told Just the News it wasn't sharing its filings "at this time." "This is fundamentally a patched together policy designed to punish those who do not get in line with the political objectives assigned to [Department of National Defence] policy from Ottawa," said the lawyer commissioned for the project, Phillip Millar. The vaccine mandate has "nothing to do with operational effectiveness as it is simply a political move imposed on the military by the Federal Government," he said in JCCF's release. A former combat officer and assistant crown attorney who says he has won compensation cases for sexual assault victims and cleared the "wrongfully accused," Millar recently applied to join the "hardcore litigation department" billionaire Elon Musk is building at Tesla. He calls himself a "Samurai for hire" on Twitter. Millar told Just the News these were his first COVID vaccine cases for service members. He has previously represented university professors put on unpaid leave on the same grounds. He expects one or two injunction hearings per month and is planning to add cases on behalf of unvaccinated youth who are prevented from training in the "Army Cadet" program. Millar believes CAF chose the "unsuitable" administrative removal process because a vaccine-specific rule lets members challenge their removal in court. If he can secure injunctions for clients, they can remain in the service while finishing the multiyear grievance process, Millar said. JCCF kicked off the legal effort a month ago with 16 CAF members, including 28-year reservist James Topp, who faces court martial for "conduct to the prejudice of good order and discipline." He posted a Tik Tok video in which a uniformed Topp says he's on unpaid leave "because I will not change my vaccination status," the CBC reported. The video did not violate a military policy on "people in uniform making political statements" because Topp was "speaking about a policy that directly affects him and his conviction," Millar said. Topp is walking across Canada to protest COVID mandates and support those punished for noncompliance or coerced into compliance, chronicling his journey on Tik Tok for the past few months. He reached the Lake Superior town of Marathon on Monday. He started his journey from Vancouver on Feb. 20, the same day police cracked down on Freedom Convoy protesters in Ottawa under Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's unprecedented invocation of the Emergencies Act. "I have to watch what I say from here on out for a little while because the Eye of Sauron is upon me," Topp said as he left, likening CAF to the primary antagonist in "The Lord of the Rings." One of the jailed Freedom Convoy leaders has been banned from speaking her mind, at least on social media, as a condition of keeping her freedom. The government argued last month that Tamara Lich should be sent back to jail for violating her March bail conditions, which included a ban on supporting anything "related" to the Freedom Convoy, including on social media, and travel to Ontario. A supporter sent her a pendant emblazoned with a truck image and the words "Freedom" and "Canada" and asked for a photo of her wearing it, which Lich gave permission to post, the CBC reported. She also accepted JCCF's George Jonas Freedom Award for "spending 18 days unjustly jailed" for leading a "peaceful protest" against COVID mandates. The award ceremony is June 16 in Toronto, but Lich testified she wouldn't attend without court permission. Justice Kevin Phillips agreed these actions didn't violate her bail conditions and amended them to let her travel to Ontario but not downtown Ottawa, which had been paralyzed by the convoy. Even though he said Canadian courts "are not the thought police," Phillips refused to lift the social media ban because that would facilitate "toxic groupthink," JCCF said after the hearing.

Topp marched from Vancouver to Ottawa to protest remaining COVID-19 vaccine mandates. (Jean Delisle/CBC) The Canadian soldier who recently led a protest march to Ottawa is now facing a court martial for having spoken out against the federal government's COVID-19 vaccine requirements while wearing his uniform. Warrant Officer James Topp was recently notified that he will be allowed to have his case heard in a military court instead of by his chain of command, according to the army reservist's civilian lawyer. Phillip Millar said the decision represents a second about-face after the military initially offered his client a court martial when he was charged in February, only to rescind the offer and send his case to Topp's unit commanders. "It's hard to know what they're doing, because I don't think they really know what they're doing," said Millar. "But now they're saying it's a court martial." The decision raises the stakes for Topp, according to military law experts. Courts martial are allowed to impose heavier sentences against Armed Forces members than if they are tried by their chain of command in what is known as a summary trial. Freedom Convoy protesters, revellers mix on Canada Day in Ottawa Freedom Convoy protesters return to Ottawa for Canada Day Police make arrests after anti-vaccine mandate army reservist leads march into Ottawa It also means he will be allowed to have legal representation at trial — which wouldn't necessarily have been the case had he been tried by his commanding officer — while his trial will receive much more public attention. "The stakes are obviously going to be increased in a public-relations context," said retired lieutenant-colonel Rory Fowler, who is now a lawyer specializing in military law in Kingston, Ont. The Department of National Defence did not respond to questions about whether Topp's case was changed from a court martial to summary trial and back again. Potentially stiffer penalties Topp was charged in February with two counts of conduct to the prejudice of good order and discipline after the army reservist appeared in uniform in two online videos criticizing vaccine requirements for military personnel and other federal employees. Canadian Armed Forces members are severely restricted in the comments they can make while in uniform, particularly when it comes to criticizing government policies, in large part to protect the military from any perception of politicization. Topp, who is now in the process of being released from the military, later led a months-long march from Vancouver that ended in Ottawa last week and was supported by many of the same people behind this year's "Freedom Convoy." He has since become a symbol of sorts for Canadians opposed to vaccines, vaccine mandates and perceived government overreach. Some Conservative MPs have also hitched their wagon to him, including leadership candidate Pierre Poilievre. While Millar questioned the military's back and forth with his client, and said he planned to question the way Topp's charges were handled, he still welcomed the latest decision to allow a court martial.

(Frédéric Pepin/Radio-Canada) Millar said he plans to call expert witnesses to question the need and efficacy of the military's vaccine requirement. The requirement imposed by Chief of the Defence Staff Gen. Wayne Eyre late last year remains in place, even though a similar mandate for most other federal public servants has now been suspended. "It opens the door for us to call witnesses about the decision to charge him," Millar said. "It opens the door for us to call experts on whether or not there was any science behind the mandate." While the shift from a summary trial back to a court martial means Topp will be afforded an independent trial with legal representation, Fowler said it also means the army reservist faces potentially stiffer penalties if convicted. CPC MPs meet with Freedom Convoy organizers Military investigating at least 6 active soldiers for supporting convoy protests Under a summary trial, commanding officers are largely restricted to handing down reprimands and fines. If he is found guilty by court martial, however, Topp faces the threat of dismissal from the military with disgrace and up to two years in prison. Retired colonel Michel Drapeau said that while the military may have had a number of reasons for changing the case from a summary trial back to a court martial, he believes the latter is the appropriate venue for hearing Topp's case. "It provides for a trial in an open court with all [Charter of Rights and Freedoms] legal guarantees," Drapeau said in an email. "It also provides for the provision of free legal support to the member." CBC's Journalistic Standards and Practice https://www.fct-cf.gc.ca/en/ The Honourable B.

Not surprisingly, however, there are early signs of resistance within the CAF ranks. Reasons and arguments for such resistance will abound; lack of personnel, growing operational commitments, the need to consult (this excuse has already been used by the MND). There are also sacred cows like the RMC which can and is already rallying support among the military brass. The truth is: Canada and the CAF simply cannot afford ANOTHER study; the Lamer, Lesage, Deschamps, Fish and Arbour studies are more enough to point the way to the required reform.https://ottawacitizen. .. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: David Amos <david.raymond.amos333@gmail.

"We don't have all of the evidence, but what I would be interested in knowing is what evidence they have that there was a threat, a bribe or other corrupt means to persuade Ms. Brennan to lie — because simply asking somebody to lie is not obstruction of justice," said retired colonel Rory Fowler, a military lawyer now in private practice. There is a 10-year maximum sentence for a conviction on an obstruction of justice charge, Fowler said. PM's chief adviser knew of 'misconduct' allegation against top military commander, committee told He added that it is unprecedented that such a senior retired officer is charged with a criminal offence. "Previous to this, the most senior rank in living memory, the most senior rank who was facing a charge like this, was the then-vice-chief of the defence staff [Vice-Admiral] Mark Norman," said Fowler. Norman was accused in 2017 of leaking cabinet secrets and charged by the RCMP with a single count of breach of trust. The charge was stayed two years later." "Defence expert Charlotte Duval-Lantoine said the charge against Vance is serious and a demonstration by the federal government and the military that there will be no impunity. Restoring confidence in the military justice system will depend on whether he is found guilty and punished, she suggested. "We don't really know what is the outcome of this charge, but there is that idea now that even a chief of the defence staff needs to be subject to the same punishment, to the same sanctions as anyone else in the Canadian Armed Forces," said Duval-Lantoine, a fellow at the Canadian Global Affairs Institute. The ongoing sexual misconduct crisis has prompted calls for the resignation of Defence Minister Harjit Sajjan, which were renewed Thursday once the obstruction charge was announced." http://roryfowlerlaw.com/ Rory Fowler 221 Queen St Kingston, ON K7K 1B4 rory@roryfowlerlaw.com (613) 777 3820 Lieutenant-Colonel (retired) Rory G.

(Submitted) Evidence in a bizarre case of a Canadian soldier accused of drugging comrades with marijuana-laced cupcakes was lost by military police, says the soldier's lawyer — who accuses the Department of National Defence of conducting a sloppy, incompetent investigation. Bombardier Chelsea Cogswell's military trial is slated to start next month. It's believed to be the first of its kind. She faces 18 charges, including administering a noxious substance to eight soldiers without their consent in July 2018 at CFB Gagetown. At the time, the soldiers were taking part in a live-fire exercise involving explosives and weapons drills. CBC News has obtained a copy of a court application filed by Cogswell's lawyer Ian Kasper. In it, Kasper argues the military should throw out evidence of traces of THC — the main psychoactive compound in cannabis — gathered from one cupcake wrapper because the other cupcake wrappers were lost and never tested. "The chain of command and the military police did not preserve all the wrappers for further investigation," Kasper wrote in the application. "The loss of such important evidence was the result of incompetence. "The chain of command's loss of the cupcake wrappers was so shockingly negligent as to constitute an abuse of process." The military is in the midst of an institutional crisis over its handling of misconduct in the ranks. Critics have said military police are ill-equipped to investigate offences. 'There's a lack of expertise. A lack of competence' Military law expert Michel Drapeau has been arguing for years that the military police do not have the depth, supervision and training to conduct criminal investigations. A sniper taking part in a competition between peers at CFB Gagetown in Oromocto, N.B. (Kevin Bissett/Canadian Press) Drapeau reviewed the court documents obtained by CBC News. He pointed out that it took roughly 17 months for the military police to realize they hadn't secured all of the wrappers, and to investigate where they went. "Seventeen months required to discover it is disturbing, to say the least," he said. "There is something lacking there. It could be a lack of expertise. It could also be incompetence, obviously." Cogswell's unusual case made headlines around the world. The Department of National Defence has said it's believed to be the first case of a soldier charged with feeding marijuana to colleagues without their consent. Cogswell's mother told CBC News strangers have bombarded her with hate messages online and she found her vehicle keyed in her driveway on one occasion. "The military community was entitled to a proper and complete investigation, not a half-hearted and incomplete one that saw crucial evidence lost," reads Kasper's application. "The applicant's career and liberty are on the line." Regional military prosecutors responded, saying the evidence was never lost since it was never in government authorities' possession in the first place. "Any cupcake wrappers which were not collected had been disposed of by witnesses or complainants prior to commencement or contemplation of an investigation," reads the military's response to the court application. "There was no abuse of process." 'Loopy, anxious and paranoid' At the time of the incident on July 21, 2018, Cogswell was working at a mobile canteen at the army's combat training centre in New Brunswick, according to court martial documents. Cogswell offered some troops from the gun detachment free cupcakes she had baked that she said contained coconut oil and avocados, according to the document. At least nine soldiers ate the cupcakes; within an hour, some described feeling "high," the court martial documents said. The charges are related to an incident at this firing range at CFB Gagetown in Oromocto, N.B. (David Smith/Canadian Press) "They variously described feeling tired, exhausted, loopy, anxious and paranoid," said Kasper's court document. "Others, however, believed they were dehydrated or were suffering heat exhaustion." Citing safety concerns, the military called off the live fire training exercise on that hot summer day and loaded those affected into an air-conditioned truck for assessment. A medical technician on scene ruled out heat injuries, according to the documents. The commanding officer called in military police to investigate the possibility that "the members of the artillery school were suffering from mind-altering drugs while on a live fire exercise," Kasper's court document states. Soldier gathered five wrappers One of the soldiers who ate a cupcake and felt fine collected about five wrappers and gave them to the chain of command — one Warrant Officer Mangrove, according to the court document. The base military police officer who attended the scene, Cpl. Benjamin Whitehall, obtained one of the wrappers from a soldier who got it from Mangrove and tested it for drugs. The test came back negative but later tested positive for traces of THC, according to both Kasper's court document and the response from military prosecutors. The military police only discovered other wrappers existed almost a year and a half later, in January 2020, after a request from the accused's lawyer. "No explanation has been proffered," wrote Kasper. "The only reasonable conclusion is that they were lost through incompetence. The wrappers are at the heart of the case ... and they could afford forensic evidence tending to disprove the offences charged." The military wrote in its defence that it doesn't know where the other wrappers went "missing." At the time of the incident, the focus was on possible health and safety risks, not the "possibility of a future criminal investigation," said the military prosecutors. "There is no evidence of any attempt to conceal or destroy evidence in this case, nor is there any evidence of bad faith on the part of the Crown," the prosecutors wrote. "In fact, it is more likely than not that obtaining the missing wrappers would have strengthened the Crown's case." Civilian system should investigate military misconduct claims for now, ex-judge says Fifth Estate Commanding officers interfered in sexual assault investigations, retired military police officer says Military justice system at crossroads as court hears case on judges' independence The Canadian Forces Provost Marshal would not tell CBC News if the military police involved in the case are with the base or with the Canadian Forces National Investigative Service unit. The Military Police Complaints Commission will not confirm that it's received a complaint in connection to Cogswell's case. In a statement, the commission said it does not release information or the identity of complainants or subjects in "non-public interest cases." Cogswell's court martial is set to begin Aug. 3 in Oromocto, New Brunswick. Along with charges for administering a noxious substance, Cogswell also faces nine counts of conduct to the prejudice of good order and discipline and one count of behaving in a disgraceful manner. Cogswell faces a maximum sentence of two years imprisonment, the defence department said. ABOUT THE AUTHOR Ashley Burke Reporter Ashley Burke is a senior reporter with CBC's Parliamentary Bureau.

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

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

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

Brian Joyce from his upcoming corruption trial have earned a rebuke from dozens of lawyers and several legal organizations who accuse them of trying to to broaden their ability to have defendants’ lawyers removed. Prosecutors had argued that attorney Howard M. Cooper, founding partner at Todd & Weld in Boston, should be stripped from Joyce’s defense team at trial because Cooper has unwittingly helped Joyce cover up some of his corrupt activities by submitting false statements to the state Ethics Commission, making Cooper a potential witness to Joyce’s crimes. But in an amicus brief submitted earlier this week, a collection of lawyers and legal organizations argue that such thinking would erode defendants’ Sixth Amendment right to their chosen counsel and interfere with attorneys’ ability to represent their clients while criminal charges are pending. “Granting the present motion would threaten ethical and effective advocacy by counsel in numerous other cases,” the brief reads. “It would encourage the government to seek to disqualify counsel more frequently in any of the array of circumstances in which defense counsel may advocate on a client’s behalf and might present what the government may later claim to be inaccurate information.” The battle over the future of Joyce’s legal representation comes as the former Milton Democrat faces a 113-count indictment accusing him of turning his Beacon Hill office into a money-making venture where he traded legislation and political influence for more than $1 million in kickbacks, hundreds of pounds of free coffee and a 2014 Jeep. He was arrested on the charges this past December and released on $250,000 bond. A little more than a month after Joyce’s arrest, federal prosecutors indicated that they would seek to disqualify Cooper from representing Joyce at trial and could call him to testify about several statements he made to the ethics commission on Joyce’s behalf. Some of those statements had addressed the commission’s questions about whether the senator had received free Dunkin’ Donuts coffee in exchange for pushing favorable legislation, whether he’d filed legislation without disclosing that it would benefit a client, and whether he’d appeared before a state commission while concealing his financial investment in the company. Prosecutors have not suggested that Cooper was aware that the statements were false, but said that Joyce had nonetheless “entangled Attorney Cooper in the cover-up.” In a motion filed in late February, prosecutors argued that Joyce had used Cooper’s statements to further his crimes, making communications between the two exempt from attorney-client privilege. In response, Joyce accused prosecutors of trying to disqualify his attorney by making him into a witness even through they hadn’t shown any need for Cooper’s testimony. Joyce said he would even stipulate that he himself had prepared and reviewed the statements that prosecutors say were false. Joyce, who is a lawyer, also argued Cooper had only submitted the statements to defend Joyce against allegations of wrongdoing and had not been involved in setting up the corrupt deals Joyce is accused of making. Joyce hired Cooper and his firm, Todd & Weld, in March 2015 after Boston Globe reporters began asking Joyce’s office questions. Joyce said disqualifying Cooper would violated his Sixth Amendment right to choose his legal counsel and force him to find a new attorney following the loss of his job, the end of his practice and “the exhaustion of his resources.” “Now the government takes aim at the one attorney who has represented him throughout, in whom he reposes the greatest trust and confidence, and ask the Court to require him to start over with new counsel he does not want and cannot afford,” attorneys for Joyce and Cooper said in a motion filed on their behalf. “This would be a cruel, unfair and clearly unconstitutional blow.” The Boston legal community apparently agrees. In a motion filed Monday, a group including the Massachusetts Bar Association, the Massachusetts Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, the American Civil Liberties Union of Massachusetts and 71 individual attorneys argued that the prosecutors’ request had “far-reaching and troubling Sixth Amendment implications,” potentially opening the door for prosecutors to have defense attorneys removed from a case by claiming that they had previously presented inaccurate information on their client’s behalf. The Boston Bar Association is seeking to file a separate amicus brief. “We believe the government’s motion threatens the constitutionally protected right of a lawyer to present a client’s defense to courts and to government agencies,” Jon Albano, president-elect of the Boston Bar Association, said in a statement. “A lawyer should not be disqualified for presenting a client’s side of a case when there is no evidence that the lawyer knew the client was not telling the truth.” ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: David Amos <motomaniac333@gmail.com> Date: Fri, 22 Jun 2018 12:19:51 -0400 Subject: Methinks one of Trump's many lawyers should call the FBI dudes in DC and Beantown ASAP They are far too chicken to talk to me or you N'esy Pas Mikey Gill?
