The Prime Minister’s Chief of Staff, Percy Downe, issued the following statement today:
"To avoid continuing controversy, Françoise Ducros has decided to leave her position as Director of Communications in the Prime Minister’s office and accelerate by some weeks her planned return to the Public Service from which she had been seconded.

November 26, 2002
Prime Minister:
I have reflected over the weekend on the controversy over remarks made in Prague. It is very apparent to me that the controversy will make it impossible for me to do my job. I would therefore like to leave my position as Director of Communications immediately. I will seek to re-enter the Public Service.
I am grateful for the support you have given me during this difficult time. I cannot express what a great honour it has been to serve you and your Government.
[Original signed by
Françoise Ducros]
November 26, 2002
Dear Françoise,
I have read your letter of today and your decision to leave your position as Director of Communications and re-integrate into the Public Service a few weeks earlier than anticipated.
As you take your leave, you can be proud of the fact not only that you have filled one of the most senior positions ever held by a woman in a Prime Minister’s Office, but above all, of the exemplary manner in which you have carried out your duties. In your almost 4 years as Director of Communications, you have served the government as a whole, and me personally, with extraordinary skill and dedication. I have always placed the highest value on your advice and counsel. And I am, indeed, pleased that as a public servant you will continue to bring these fine qualities to the service of Canada and Canadians.
Aline joins me in wishing you and Ian continued success and happiness in the future.
Trudeau gets an earful on defence spending from nearly one-quarter of the U.S. Senate
Lawmakers from both parties tell PM to come to NATO summit with plan to meet target
Nearly one-quarter of the members of the United States Senate have sent an unusually critical letter to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau expressing dismay over Canada's level of defence spending.
They pressed Trudeau to come to this summer's NATO summit with a plan to fulfil Canada's commitment to reach the alliance's longstanding spending target.
The letter from 23 members of the U.S. Senate, from both parties, represents a dramatic and public escalation of pressure from Washington over a longstanding bilateral irritant.
In the note sent Thursday, the senators described this moment as one of the most dangerous in NATO's history, with tensions on multiple continents. They said allies must keep their commitments.
That written critique comes just days after Defence Minister Bill Blair completed what he referred to as a productive trip to Washington to promote Canada's new military strategy.
"We are concerned and profoundly disappointed," says the letter, referring to the spending levels in the strategy Blair came to promote.
"Canada will fail to meet its obligations to the Alliance, to the detriment of all NATO Allies and the free world, without immediate and meaningful action to increase defence spending."
The senators noted that Canada's plan would bring defence spending to just 1.7 per cent of GDP, two decades after NATO allies agreed to a 2 per cent target — which NATO describes as a mininum contribution.
They also suggested that Canada is moving too slowly to modernize the aerospace warning system in the Arctic, saying the North American Aerospace Defense Command desperately needs an upgrade that can't happen without Canadian cooperation.

spending target when they come to the next NATO summit in Washington. (Kacper Pempel/Reuters)
They suggested this issue could come to a head at the upcoming NATO summit in Washington in July. While the letter came from lawmakers and not the Biden administration, it was signed by a dozen Democrats, some with close connections to the White House.
"Later this year, when the United States hosts the 2024 NATO Summit to lay out priorities for the upcoming year, we will expect your government and every NATO member that has not met the two per cent defence spending threshold to have a plan to reach this benchmark as soon as possible," said the letter.
Blair downplayed the senators' concerns while speaking to reporters in Ottawa on Thursday.
"I'm sure that I'd be able to assure those concerned senators that Canada will be a ready and capable ally to NATO," he said.
A number of senators who signed the letter — including Democrat Jeanne Shaheen and Republican James Risch — have made appearances at the annual Halifax International Security Forum in the past.

committee, arrives at a news conference at the Halifax International

The letter stands in contrast to comments the U.S. ambassador to Canada made in April.
Speaking on a panel at the Canadian War Museum marking the 75th anniversary of NATO's formation, Ambassador David Cohen said the United States takes "a broader view" that goes beyond the alliance's military spending target for member nations.
"We choose to look at Canada's overall commitment to defence," Cohen said.
"We do look at the percentage of GDP that is spent on defence but we look at a wide range of other factors."
Cohen's comments came days before Ottawa released a new defence policy that committed billions of dollars in additional defence spending over the next decade.

But even with those additional commitments, the government estimates that Canada will see military spending hit 1.76 per cent of GDP by 2029-30 — still short of the NATO benchmark.
Blair pointed to the new policy as a sign Canada is working on increasing spending.
"Canada is on a very strong upward trajectory in defence spending. We know we've got work to do, we've acknowledged that since day one," he said.
"We've clearly indicated in our budget the path to getting that done."

In the NATO alliance, Canada spends less on defence than almost any other country as a percentage of its economy. But because it is wealthier than most NATO members, Canada spends more in actual dollars than all but a handful of NATO members.
The U.S. has for years pleaded with allies to spend more on defence. That pressure only escalated under the last president, Donald Trump, who has suggested allies that don't spend enough on their own defence don't deserve U.S. protection against invasion.
The pressure for allies to do more is growing, as the U.S. faces unprecedented challenges. The U.S. is now spending more to pay off the interest on its national debt than it does on defence, and its weapons manufacturing industry is plagued by notoriously long delays, as several rivals, including Russia and China, built up their own militaries.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR

WASHINGTON, DC 20510
May 23, 2024
The Honorable Justin Trudeau
Prime Minister
24 Sussex Drive
Ottawa, Ontario K1M 1M4
Canada
Dear Prime Minister Trudeau,
As friends of Canada, we write to urge your government to uphold the commitment agreed to by
all North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) Allies at the 2014 Wales Summit and again at
the 2023 Vilnius Summit to strengthen our collective security by increasing defense spending
levels to two percent of each country’s gross domestic product (GDP). As a founding member of
NATO, Canada is a valued Ally and has long contributed to essential NATO operations around
the world. However, the transatlantic Alliance now faces one of the most severe threat
landscapes in its history. As a consequence, we call on all NATO Allies, including Canada, to
uphold their commitment to ensure a stronger, sustainable NATO by accelerating efforts to reach
the two percent defense spending target set by the Alliance.
This year marks the 75th anniversary of the greatest Alliance in history. Since its inception,
Canada has been a leading Ally in propelling NATO to develop standards around democracy,
economic resilience and human rights. These standards have encouraged NATO aspirant
countries to align more closely with our shared values and expanded trade opportunities for
economies across the North Atlantic while promoting peace and stability on the European
continent. In addition, Canada has taken a leading role in support of NATO military operations.
We particularly appreciate Canada’s leadership of NATO’s multinational battlegroup in Latvia,
which maintains a strong deterrence presence on the Eastern Flank of the Alliance. As Vladimir
Putin’s full-scale, unprovoked war against Ukraine continues into its third year, a strong NATO
presence in Europe is needed to deter further Russian aggression.
To build on the success of the past 75 years and secure the transatlantic Alliance for the next
generation, NATO requires continued investments from each member country. This includes
meeting NATO’s guidance that all member countries should spend 20 percent of their defense
spending on equipment to modernize capabilities, as well as meet and seek to exceed spending
two percent of GDP on defense. At the 2023 NATO Summit in Vilnius, all Allies agreed that
two percent defense spending levels should be the floor – not the ceiling – of contributions to the
Alliance. The 2023 Vilnius Summit agreement reiterated and expanded upon prior agreements of
the two percent defense spending baseline, which Canada’s Defense Minister and Canada’s Head
of Government agreed to in 2006 and 2014, respectively. By the end of 2024, 18 NATO
countries will meet the Alliance’s goal to ensure NATO’s continued military readiness. This is a
2
historic investment in our collective security, led by NATO Allies like Poland, a country that has
already exceeded three percent of its GDP for defense spending.
As we approach the 2024 NATO Summit in Washington, D.C., we are concerned and profoundly
disappointed that Canada’s most recent projection indicated that it will not reach its two percent
commitment this decade. In 2029, Canada’s defense spending is estimated to rise to just 1.7
percent, five years after the agreed upon deadline of 2024 and still below the spending baseline.
The North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) is also in dire need of
modernization, a process that can only move forward with direct cooperation from your
government. Canada will fail to meet its obligations to the Alliance, to the detriment of all
NATO Allies and the free world, without immediate and meaningful action to increase defense
spending.
The United States’ commitment to NATO is unwavering. Later this year, when the United States
hosts the 2024 NATO Summit to lay out priorities for the upcoming year, we will expect your
government and every NATO member that has not met the two percent defense spending
threshold to have a plan to reach this benchmark as soon as possible. We anticipate a robust
partnership between the U.S., Canada and all Allies to achieve the benchmarks the Alliance has
identified to enable us to defend democracy, preserve security and expand opportunity.
We appreciate your attention to this important matter and look forward to our continued close
partnership as friends, Allies and neighbors.
Sincerely,
Jeanne Shaheen

(2002) When George W Bush Was Called Moron By Francoise Ducros | Press Sec For PM Jean Chrétien
Women In Canadian PoliticsCanadian official called Bush 'a moron'
An offhand comment by a senior member of the Chrtien government may have a lasting effect on relations between Ottawa and Washington. A top aide to the prime minister has been quoted as referring to U.S. President George W. Bush as "a moron."
The disparaging comment from Chrtien's inner circle has shaken the Prime Minister's Office. Prime Minister Jean Chrtien was forced to say on Thursday that President Bush is "a friend of mine. He's not a moron at all."
That the prime minister of Canada would have to say the president of the United States is not a moron is remarkable enough. That he has to defend a comment made by one of his closest advisors has sent shockwaves from Prague, where NATO leaders are meeting, to Parliament Hill to the White House.
It began when Bush made a speech in the Czech capital calling on NATO countries to spend more on defence.
Canadian officials saw that as a veiled criticism of Ottawa's military spending. The prime minister's director of communications, Francoise Ducros, said of Bush, "What a moron."
The comment apparently was made in the presence of at least two reporters.
In Ottawa, Canadian Alliance MP Jason Kenney wanted to know if the quote was accurate. And if it is, "Does it reflect the views of the Liberal government?"
Conservative leader Joe Clark said if such a statement was made the offending party "should be on a plane home right now."
The PMO issued a brief statement: "The Prime Minister's Office never comments on newspaper reports attributed to unnamed sources."
White House spokesman Ari Fleischer, who is accompanying Bush in Prague, dismissed the comment as coming from "somebody who obviously doesn't speak for the Canadian government."
The problem is Ducros does speak for the Canadian government, usually on background and off the record. The quote first attributed to a government official was soon linked to Ducros and widely reported.
Whether the comment was on the record or not, the opposition says the comment was inappropriate, coming from an official representing the government of Canada.
Others say the comment will only further chill the dialogue between Washington and Ottawa.
The prime minister is now under pressure to take action against one of his most loyal advisers.
Uproar that kept growing costs PM loyal aide
Françoise Ducros sat beside her boss, Prime Minister Jean Chrétien, on the flight from Prague to Paris last Friday. Hours earlier, Mr. Chrétien had refused to accept her resignation and now the two were engaged in a deep conversation about the difficult events of the past few days.
It was a discussion that would continue throughout the weekend and also involve Aline Chrétien, to whom Ms. Ducros is close and whose judgment she respects.
Yesterday, Ms. Ducros told Mr. Chrétien she didn't want to carry on. She resigned as his director of communications, a job she loved and had held for more than three years. The move came days after she sparked an international imbroglio by being overheard saying George W. Bush was a "moron."
Officials in the Prime Minister's office insist there was no pressure on her to leave. But it was a controversy that did not seem to be going away.
As well, this was to be a key week for the Prime Minister, with the Kyoto Protocol finally being debated in the House of Commons and Roy Romanow poised to release his long-awaited report on health care.
Ms. Ducros, pragmatic and fiercely loyal, did not want the controversy around her to detract from the boss's agenda. She said she felt resigning was the best thing to do for the Prime Minister and the government.
And so this is how Ms. Ducros, 40, found herself in the midst of one of life's ironies yesterday.
At home with one of her sisters and two close friends, and fielding telephone calls from cabinet ministers, MPs and colleagues, some of whom were in tears, Ms. Ducros was also trying to listen to a local CBC radio call-in show.
The topic? Career transitions.
A friend joked that she did not call the show because she clearly understood that "on-air was on-the-record" -- a little jab at the fact that the conversation in which she called Mr. Bush a moron was one that she believed was off-the-record and was not to be reported.
Those close to Ms. Ducros insist she was not pushed out of her job.
"She pushed it, and she insisted on it," a senior government official said. "It's something he [the Prime Minister]hates to do and something he did reluctantly."
Sources said yesterday that during the crisis, Mrs. Chrétien was one of the people whom Ms. Ducros turned to for advice because she respects her judgment. The two women have developed a close relationship.
The senior government official called the events of the past few days "unsettling."
"It just underscores the climate that we're in," he said. He said there is "an appetite for grief" at this time in which the Prime Minister is on his way out.
Clearly, Ms. Ducros has not lost her edge. Yesterday, a friend described her as "an upbeat Francie looking forward to Phase 2."
Phase 2 is the public service -- the place from which Ms. Ducros was plucked in 1993 by former Fisheries Minister Brian Tobin to serve in his office. She eventually became his executive assistant.
It has not been announced where she will land.
Ms. Ducros has a good relationship with Privy Council Clerk Alex Himelfarb, with whom she met on Sunday after returning from the NATO summit in Prague and the meetings in Paris.
Her husband, Ian Christie, is a senior bureaucrat with Indian Affairs, and her experience in the public service is vast and varied. After Mr. Tobin left to become Newfoundland Premier, Ms. Ducros joined Intergovernmental Affairs Minister Stephane Dion as his executive assistant and worked hard to achieve the Clarity Act, which set the terms for any referendum on Quebec sovereignty.
Along the way, she has made enemies. Intelligent and capable, she can also be abrasive and has paid a price for her take-no-prisoners style and for being a tough woman in a tough business. Some men are intimidated by her style and don't know how to deal with her. Many in the Paul Martin camp do not like her because she fought back hard against them and their tactics. They gleefully spin stories about everything from her political judgment to her relationships with her co-workers.
During a particularly difficult time last year, insiders say Industry Minister Allan Rock complained to the Prime Minister that she was favouring Mr. Tobin.
Yesterday, however, her friends say she was touched by the support she received.
"She is an immensely skilled person. I think that what she has done, she has done with a lot of dignity and class," the senior government official said.

Butt out of Canadian military, Ottawa tells Bush
Minister miffed by U.S. calls for Canada to boost defence budget
PRAGUE (CP) - Defence Minister John McCallum lashed out at U.S. President George W. Bush on the eve of a NATO summit here today, saying the
leader of the world's largest superpower should mind his own business when it comes to how much allies spend on defence.
He made the remarks after Bush chided some of the weaker members of the western military alliance for not spending enough on their armed forces.
"I would not urge the president of the United States or the U.S. Ambassador (Paul Cellucci) to do my job - to ask for more defence spending,"
McCallum told reporters in a scrum with Prime Minister Jean Chrétien and Foreign Affairs Minister Bill Graham looking on.
"I think that is a Canadian matter, I think that a number of Canadians were a little bit ticked off ... So while Mr. Bush may be asking for what I'm asking
for, I'm not asking for his help."
In a hawkish speech calling for military support from NATO members should the U.S. go to war in Iraq, Bush said some NATO allies were not doing
their part to shell out for their armies, navies and air forces. But he did not single out any countries by name.
"Ours is a military alliance, and every member must make a military contribution to that alliance," he said. "For some allies this will require higher
defence spending. For all of us it will require more effective defence spending, with each nation adding the tools and technologies to fight and win a new
kind of war."
Chrétien also defended his government's record on military spending, saying Canada has increased funding by 25 per cent over three years.
"The Americans always compliment the Canadians when we participate with them (in military operations)," he said, citing distinguished records for
Canadian military in Kosovo, Bosnia and Afghanistan.
"I'd like to spend more money on defence, I'd like to spend more money on everything, but we have to make these decisions when (the budget comes) in
February."
McCallum would not disclose the contents of a letter from U.S. officials sent earlier this week requesting Canadian assistance in the event of a war in
Iraq.
But he noted Canadian forces are already operating in the region.
"We have a number of assets in the region because of Afghanistan. We have three Hercules (transport planes), two Auroras (maritime patrol planes) and
two ships - two or three depending on when they're coming or going," he said.
Bush implored NATO members Wednesday to be willing to force Iraq to disarm, saying the alliance should make rogue states and terrorism its targets
within or without Europe's borders.
Chrétien said Canada would wait for Iraq's response to a UN Security Council deadline for weapons disclosure before planning further action.

Chretien turns down resignation of his aide for her reported 'moron'
remark
LOUISE ELLIOTT
PRAGUE (CP) - Prime Minister Jean Chretien refused Friday to accept the resignation of his embattled
communications director, Francoise Ducros, over her alleged remark that U.S. President George W. Bush is a
"moron."
Chretien said Ducros had apologized to him for the furore sparked by a conversation she had with a journalist at the
NATO summit in Prague. "She was graceful enough to offer me her resignation," the prime minister said. "I have
not accepted that."
Ducros, who did not appear at the news conference in Prague, told Chretien she couldn't recall whether she made the
remark but acknowledged she frequently uses the word "moron," Chretien said.
Please see below for a quick look at Ducros and the text of her resignation
"I
know her very well," the prime minister told reporters. "She may have
used that word against me a few times and I am sure she used it against
you
many times. It's a word she uses regularly."
Chretien said
there have been no official complaints from American officials at the
NATO summit, which closed Friday. He said U.S.-Canada relations
had not been damaged.
Chretien's decision to keep Ducros quickly came under fire back in Ottawa.
"He
should have accepted her resignation, perhaps with regret, perhaps
understanding that people make mistakes," Canadian Alliance MP Jason
Kenney
said. "Senior officials should be held accountable for those mistakes."
Kenney
suggested Ducros' remarks reflect a pattern in the Chretien government,
"a consistent attitude of anti-Americanism which has hurt our
relationship
on softwood lumber, on agriculture ... It doesn't help us in getting
access to the decision-makers in the White House and in Washington."
Conservative
Leader Joe Clark said Chretien should have accepted the resignation.
"Ms. Ducros has done the honourable thing; so should the prime
minister."
Given
Ducros' position as spokesman for Chretien, Clark said, "When she
insults the president of the United States it is the prime minister of
Canada
insulting the president of the United States."
"Government
is not about rewarding or protecting your friends," Clark added.
"Keeping Francie Ducros, the person who calls the president of the
United States a moron, keeping her in place, refusing her resignation, puts personal interests above Canada's interests."
In
Prague, Chretien said Ducros has been a frequent defender of Bush, and
took aim at reporters for making much of what he called a "private
conversation."
"She defended many, many times the president of the United States," he said.
"And
she reflected the position of Canada many times, that we have good
relations. So she has apologized to me for the problem it's causing ...
but we
don't live in as civilized a world as we used to, where private conversations are private."
Chretien
dismissed reminders that he himself - during a political storm over
former solicitor general Lawrence MacAulay - said he accepts
resignations
as a matter of policy when they are offered.
"I said
that to cabinet ministers because a cabinet minister can use a
resignation to try to push you," he said. "It's not a question of her
trying to press
me."

Chretien
noted that White House spokesman Ari Fleischer, for example, was in hot
water recently over comments suggesting Washington could solve
problems with Iraq by killing Saddam Hussein with "one bullet."
Fleischer
said Thursday in Prague that the reported comment by Ducros was not
taken as the official position of Canadian government.
When
approached by a CP photographer, Ducros referred to a statement she had
issued and declined further comment. She said in the statement that she
wanted to "set the record straight."
"The comments attributed to me in no way reflect my personal view of the president of the United States," Ducros said.
"I
have never, in any of the many briefings I have given reporters as the
prime minister's chief spokesperson, ever expressed, on the record or
off the
record, any negative opinion concerning President George Bush."
"If
I made comments in the context of what I understood to be a private
conversation, I regret that they have attracted so much media attention.
I accept
full responsibility for them and I sincerely apologize."
"So
as not to have this matter overshadow the prime minister's important
work here at the summit I have offered him my resignation. The
resignation
was declined."
CBC Radio reporter Chris Hall
acknowledged Friday he was the reporter in the conversation with Ducros.
He would not comment on the exchange.
Ducros' remarks were heard by another journalist, who reported it.
Earlier Friday, Foreign Affairs Minister Bill Graham said the reported remarks won't sour Canada-U.S. relations.
"I'm
totally confident that Canada-U.S. relations are on a good footing,"
Graham said, citing a series of what he called positive meetings with
U.S.
Secretary of State Colin Powell.
"Whatever incidents that might occur, and there will always be some . . . these
are difficult issues, we raise them, we discuss them, and we deal with them as friends."
"And this issue, like all others will be dealt with in that context."
Ducros,
40, has been Chretien's director of communications since 1999. She was
previously chief of staff to Intergovernmental Affairs Minister
Stephane Dion following the 1995 Quebec referendum.
Earlier, she was chief of staff to Brian Tobin when he was fisheries minister during the turbot war with foreign fishermen.
Ducros
is the daughter of a francophone father and anglophone mother. She grew
up bilingual and bicultural in Beaconsfield, a Montreal suburb.
Relatives on her mother's side of the family are in Vermont and Connecticut.
Graham
vehemently denied Canada-U.S. relations have deteriorated under
Chretien, saying they are no worse than they were under former prime
minister Brian Mulroney despite Mulroney's reputedly close relationship with former president Ronald Reagan.
"Different styles are different styles," he said. "But the strength of the relationship is there."
Graham
said he "didn't accept the premise" that the relationship has worsened
significantly under a perception of anti-Americanism among some
Liberals.
"We've
had tremendous disagreements over trade policy," he said. "Believe you
me, if you're concerned about that (moron remark), you should have
heard what I had to say to Mr. Powell over softwood lumber."
But, he said, the countries have a good framework to manage disagreements.

Canadian Government Aide Who Called Bush a 'Moron' Resigns
An aide to Prime Minister Jean Chrétien of Canada who had called President Bush a ''moron'' resigned today, saying that the controversy generated by the comment had made her position untenable.
Françoise Ducros, Mr. Chrétien's communications director since mid-1999, had been under intense pressure from opposition politicians and news organizations since she made the remark last Wednesday in a conversation with journalists during a NATO summit meeting in Prague.
She first offered her resignation last Friday, but Mr. Chrétien refused to accept it, saying the remarks had been private. Today she sent Mr. Chrétien a letter, though, saying she had decided to leave.
''It is very apparent to me that the controversy will make it impossible for me to do my job,'' she wrote. ''I would therefore like to leave my position as director of communications immediately.''
Ms. Ducros, 40, a lawyer known for her combative and often abrasive manner, was highly loyal to Mr. Chrétien and was considered one of the most influential players in Ottawa. ''She was very good, a very competent person and served me and served the government extremely well, and I wish her good luck,'' Mr. Chrétien said today.
Mr. Chrétien declared last week that Mr. Bush ''is a friend of mine, he is not a moron at all.'' But Ms. Ducros's comments did little to improve his cool relationship with Mr. Bush.
Opposition politicians like Jason Kenney of the Canadian Alliance party had insisted from the start that Ms. Ducros should quit, saying her gibe had badly damaged the already strained political ties between Ottawa and Washington.
''We're pleased that the prime minister finally did the right thing and accepted the resignation, although I'm afraid that having let this drag on for nearly a week has allowed the problem to compound itself,'' Mr. Kenney said today.
''The delay has fixed in the minds of people in Washington that this is an attitude widespread in the Chrétien administration. That is damage that will be hard to undo.''
Mr. Chrétien, 68, developed a close friendship with President Clinton during his presidency and often golfed with him. But he is one of the few leaders of a close United States ally yet to be invited to spend time at Mr. Bush's private ranch in Texas.
Tensions between the two countries have risen in recent months with trade tensions over both Canadian softwood lumber exports and its wheat exports.
According to Canadian news reports, White House officials privately refer to Mr. Chrétien as ''dino,'' short for dinosaur.
It was an open secret in Ottawa that Ms. Ducros had been looking for a job in the bureaucracy for some time, but the circumstances of her resignation are another blow to Mr. Chrétien, who has become increasingly beleaguered since announcing in August that he planned to step down in February 2004.
He said he would spend his last 18 months pushing an action agenda, but that quickly became bogged down with persistent opposition accusations of ethical lapses in government. Unrest is mounting in Liberal ranks, and a feeling is growing that Mr. Chrétien will decide to step down ahead of schedule.
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2002/dec/02/worlddispatch.usa
Uneasy neighbours
"What a moron." Those three words are at the heart of the latest controversy to hit the Canadian prime minister, Jean Chrétien.
They were uttered by the prime minister's spokeswoman about the president of the United States, and critics say they show the disdain Mr Chrétien's Liberal government feels for the US administration.
The controversy began almost two weeks ago at the Nato summit in Prague, when Françoise Ducros, Mr Chrétien's director of communications, described US president George Bush as a moron during a conversation with a reporter in the media briefing room.
The insult made headlines across Canada, and prompted both laughter and hostile reactions towards Canada in the US media. "It's big. It's cold. Is it a threat?", asked CNN, in a show during which critics attacked Canada for being a "remarkably undemocratic country" where members of parliament vote according to the orders of the prime minister.
The insult did not go unnoticed in Iraq, where Ath-Thawra, the official newspaper of Saddam Hussein's ruling Ba'ath party, used it as evidence that the whole world despises President Bush.
"Bush has become the most hated person in the world and who is given all sorts of bad names, especially in the west like the Canadian prime minister's spokeswoman... who said he is a moron," the paper said last week.
Once the Iraqis weighed in, Ms Ducros quickly resigned, realising the controversy over the moron remarks was not going to subside quickly. She had made the comment to a radio reporter in the media briefing room. That reporter did not file a story on the insult, but another reporter overheard their conversation and wrote about it in a front-page article in the National Post, a national newspaper known for its aggressive coverage of the prime minister.
It prompted dozens of letters to the editor, including this one. "Françoise Ducros's ill-considered comment is a grave and unforgivable insult to morons everywhere."
Perhaps the oddest thing about the moron controversy was prime minister Jean Chrétien's reaction. "He is a friend of mine. He's not a moron at all," Mr Chrétien said in Prague. He continues to insist his aide was actually defending the president of the United States when she called him a moron, but will not explain what he means.
Ms Ducros had offered her resignation almost immediately, but at first Mr Chrétien refused to accept it. She is one of his closest and most loyal aides, but eventually he was forced to let her go. The controversy was drawing attention to his government's relationship with the US, and in particular its failure to negotiate resolutions to important trade disputes. The US trade department has crippled the Canadian lumber industry with huge duties. Opposition MPs are critical, and so are industry and business leaders.
The White House brushed off the insult as not representing the views of the Canadian government, but it could not have done much for the already cool relationship between Mr Chrétien and Mr Bush.
Mr Chrétien was close to former president Bill Clinton, and his government has made no secret of the fact that it would have preferred to see Democrat Al Gore in the White House. The Bush family is close to conservative former Canadian prime minister Brian Mulroney, who views Mr Chrétien as an intellectual weakling. Unlike many other world leaders, Mr Chrétien has not been invited to the Bush ranch in Texas, making do instead with quick meetings in Washington.
Bush staffers have reportedly nicknamed Mr Chrétien "Dino", as in dinosaur, but they have not been caught calling him that in public.

David McLaughlin is a Canadian political figure. He was Chief of Staff to Prime Minister Brian Mulroney in 1993.[1]
Career
A native of New Brunswick, he served as deputy minister and then chief of staff to Premier Bernard Lord from his victory in the 1999 election until just after the 2003 election. From 2003 to 2005 he was deputy minister for the Commission on Legislative Democracy, a royal commission charged with re-evaluating the political system in New Brunswick.
McLaughlin was involved in many major decisions in the Lord government.
Following the completion of the commission in 2005, McLaughlin was made a deputy minister in the Executive Council Office with no particular policy role but was instead given to the Council of the Federation on loan to oversee their study of the fiscal imbalance. In 2006, he was named chief of staff to federal Minister of Finance Jim Flaherty in the new Conservative Party of Canada government.
Travel Expenses report
In 2017 in Manitoba, McLaughlin acted as "temporary director of communications and stakeholder relations" as well as "climate change advisor" for the office of Conservative Premier Brian Pallister. Controversy arose after it became public that along with his annual salary of $133,375, McLaughlin had claimed nearly $60,000 in travel expenses, mainly for hotels in Winnipeg and for flights to and from Ottawa.
Although McLaughlin listed the expenses as being for "climate change project/meetings," or "communications and stakeholder relations," Premier Pallister, while describing McLaughlin as "a respected international expert on climate change [and] sustainable development," said the expenses were paid "to help [McLaughlin] maintain touch with his two children and his wife."[2]

The Council of the Federation (COF; French: Conseil de la fédération) is a multilateral congress composed of the premiers of each of Canada's 13 provinces and territories, which meets at least twice annually.
Its main function is to promote interprovincial-territorial cooperation, collaborate on shared governmental priorities, and ultimately provide a united front amongst the provincial and territorial governments when interacting with Canada's federal government. It also promotes "constructive Confederation", working for Canadian unity, and recognizing differences amongst the various provinces and territories within Canada's federal system of government.
The council meets at least twice a year, with an annual summer conference held in the jurisdiction of the Chair, which rotates annually between premiers; and at least one other meeting at a location determined by the Council. The Council also meets via teleconference periodically throughout the year.[1]
History
The idea for a body akin to the Council of the Federation had long been present, but suggestions did not come to fruition until after Quebec Premier Jean Charest raised the concept again during preparation for negotiations with the federal government. The idea was for the first time embraced by all the premiers and the council was formed, its foundation being announced on December 5, 2003, in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island. This location was significant because Charlottetown was, in 1864, the venue for the Charlottetown Conference (the first step towards Canadian Confederation).
The first test of the council's united front occurred between September 13 and 16, 2004, when the premiers met with Prime Minister Paul Martin to discuss reforms to Canada's universal healthcare program. The premiers remained united and in the end won $41 billion of federal funding for healthcare over the next ten years.
The 2008 meetings of the Council took place in Quebec City, which was celebrating its 400th birthday as a settlement. At the meeting all premiers agreed to amendments to the Agreement on Internal Trade to create greater labour mobility between the provinces and territories, which came into force on January 1, 2009.
The 2009 meetings of the council took place in Regina, Saskatchewan. The agenda was dominated by economic matters including trade issues with the United States and formulating a post-recession interprovincial economic strategy.
On February 20, 2010, the council met with their American counterpart, the National Governors Association, in a Washington, D.C. hotel, for an hour-long session entitled "Common Border, Common Ground" to talk about issues such as environment and trade. Also attending this meeting were Lisa P. Jackson, of the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and Larry Summers, U.S. President Barack Obama's economic advisor. The Canadian premiers commented on how much more open the Obama administration was to confronting and solving problems, compared to his predecessor, George W. Bush.[2]
Issues

- Economic development (especially in the wake of the Bovine spongiform encephalopathy crisis)
- Strengthening Confederation (working for provincial input into the selection of senators and Supreme Court Justices)
- Reaching out to young Canadians, getting them involved in the political process

Trips to U.S., Spain that public didn't know about are 'very public things,' says Houston
N.S. premier says unpredictable schedule to blame for not sharing trip plans ahead of time
Premier Tim Houston may not yet have travelled as extensively as Stephen McNeil did during the former Liberal premier's time in office, but Houston has been quieter about some of those work-related foreign visits.
According to his expense claims, Houston travelled to New York, New Jersey, and three cities in California between April 2023 and March 2024. Last month, he was out of province for four days on a trip to Spain.
None of those trips was publicly announced, but Houston said Thursday there's nothing to hide.
"Happy to talk about any trip I take," he told reporters. "These are very public things."
Details commonly released to media
During McNeil's eight years as premier, his office routinely announced foreign trips ahead of time and issued news releases afterward. There were sometimes briefings with reporters where seniors officials would talk about the rationale for the trips and elaborate on the province's goals.
Although the information was sometimes scant, details were made available to reporters — even during trips deemed controversial, like McNeil's many trips to China.
Previous NDP and Progressive Conservative governments have also announced foreign destinations for the premier and cabinet members.
Asked why his office hasn't followed a similar pattern, Houston said it was partly due to the unpredictability of his travel schedule.
"We plan a trip and we put out a press release that we planned it, and it gets changed, we put a press release out that it got changed," said Houston, who suggested going on trips was more important than talking publicly about them.
Taxpayers should know about trips: opposition
But his political rivals disagreed.
Liberal Leader Zach Churchill said Houston was being secretive because of the limited value of the trips.
"This government hides things they don't want people to know about, so obviously the premier doesn't have a lot of confidence in what he's getting for these trips," said Churchill. "He's been travelling around the world. We have not seen what the returns are to Nova Scotians yet.
"If he's spending all this taxpayer money on travel, taxpayers should know what his schedule is, who's going with him, and what he's trying to achieve for Nova Scotians."
NDP Leader Claudia Chender agreed.
"Those trips are being paid for by Nova Scotians," she said. "We deserve to know when they happen and the details of them and what the rationale is, as has been done for the better part of many decades."
During his most recent trip to Spain, Houston visited the world's largest seafood expo in Barcelona, where more than a dozen Nova Scotia companies were part of the show.
"Having a Nova Scotia presence there was really important to us, really important to our producers," Houston told reporters, adding that he also spoke to people about offshore wind and access to health care while abroad.
Osborne Burke, president of the Nova Scotia Seafood Alliance, said the presence of the premier and other elected officials at international trade shows, such as the one in Barcelona, is a boost for the industry.
"It tells customers our government supports us in our endeavours, says Burke. "It sends a message of stability."

You ain't as quick on the draw all of a sudden. Did you fall asleep Frenchie or have a stroke?
is this for real. he is a good person, he trys to help people out. i hope he is not evioted because he is a good person
The obvious answer is: You see my phone number why not call me and ask me direct? I ain't shy.It is not my fault you never heard of me. I ran for a Seat in Parliament twice with no hope of getting elected if you are so concerned about LNG whay not ask me what i know of the crap. Furthermore I sent you some emails to prove my integrity. Didn't so it I before I tried to post my comments in your blog? Why did you block them? My question Mikey MacDonald is who the hell are you?

Watch Frenchie prove his malice shaortly by making this blog melt as he always does however As a double check I just emailed it to you and Chucky in order to prove that it once existed.
No you think again Mikey Baby. USE your telephone as I challenged you to do. The simple truth should not intimadate an honest man. It was you who struck my words. If you had bothered to read my so called rants before you ignored them and then asked the world you the Hell I am, you would have noticed I agree with you and in fact know about this crap than you can dream of.
Now stayed tuned to this particular blog and watch Frenchie make it melt. He is the liar not me. He labelled me as a Hells Angel when I ran against the aptly named lawyer Rob Moore in Fundy in 2004. There is no denying that I am a vindictive son of a bitch with a long memory but even you must admit that i am fair. Although both Chucky and Indymedia erased their blogs when I protested their obvious malice, like you they erased everything I attemped to post. Ask yourself why Mikey Baby and the cry me a river again about what Irving is having crammed through your backyard. Guess who saves every word I write or what is said of me to use in litigation? In answer to your question in your own blog. Yes the people in Saint John should sue somebody in order to put a stop to the evil Empires control. Good luck finding a lawyer that ain't afraid of Irvings. You took a picture down as soon as you got a phone call. In my book that makes you a chickenshit. You talk the talk but do not walk the walk. You should have let them sue you in order to meet them in court and make you issues well known and recorded in the public record. I have been begging someone to sue me for years if they think they can prove what I say is untrue because whenever I sue them the corrupt courts meerely see it dismissed and stricken from the record. Look up Byron Prior sometime in Google and then tell me again that you
Obviously you used my phone number now I know yours. Clearly you just pissed me off Lets see you apology ya bastard.
ok...I just came back from moving someone. I see that David is debating his issues again.
Listen David? I'll let a debate your issues in this blog here.
I must delete the blog that has emails.
As long you don't swear and smear anyone? You should be ok!!
Everyone has their different style of sending out their message.
I got mine and you got yours.
By the way? Evicted??? It was a April Fool joke from Millie and Jim but I didn't bite!...lol
This is weird! What in the hell is going on here?
Hey David??? Why don't you start your own blog?
You got that email list and you could invite people to your site like I do!!!!
THere's no site like Charles!!! Entertaining as all hell! I have no idea what all these people are talking about, but it's more entertaining than anything on television! God bless the loonies!

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

Nope the first question should be Chucky where is the computer I gave you in 2004 Yopu know the one the Anglo due from Minto took home for you. You claimed it was no good yea well I would like to have it back
The next question is does your buddy Vaughn Burnett still have the material that you promised you would serve upon Brad Green in June of 2004 for me? Has he listened to the CD which is a copy of police surveilance tape # 139? I will call hinm and you as witnesses to testify in Federal Court in Fredericton. The wannabe lawyer and you buddy Bernard Richard both admitted to me that they had the evidence before I was falsely imprisoned in the Yankee jail in 2004. So much for etyhical EH?
What do you do with a computer that don't work?
You know the answer!
Papers? to deliver to the Justice Minister? Sorry...I'm not a Sheriff!!!!
Remember be nice in this blog....
What's everybody talking or fighting about ?
Always read your site Charles.
The person is right. More entertaining the TV, and I mean that as Big Compliment :>)
As far as blogging goes I do have one but do not post much. Because unlike you I feel that less is moreI do not need a blog I employ other people's blogs and only deal with the issues they raise first then take them down the path of the garden of good and evil just like I did with you years ago when they call me a liar. Check with your associate Mikey. He did not allow even my first comment. Just like your buddies in Indymedia. However they certainly allowed you to slam me. Didn't they Chucky?
Just in case anyone cares about the spelling I am typing quickly because Methinks Chucky will soon erase this stuff just like he always does. However here is my phone number again call me and I will show anyone the proof of what I is true and I will even allow them to listen to a wiretap tape or two.
Your said the computer didn't work but I know that it did and I brought it all the way from Boston because you were crying poor mouth on the phone. Furthermore I have to witnesses that heard you say you would love to take on Brad Green. the Anglo dude from Minto is one. you the one you call a bigot. I was looking for you in the legislature library to witness me serving the liberal lawyers Burke and Lamrock next door at 710 Queen St when your buddy Dannyboy Bussieres and the Fredericton cops threw me out on June 24th 2004. I was not talking from the gallery as you falsely claim. I have a witness to that fact to . In fact he is a Deputy Minister you was on the floor at the time. the Commisssioners you have befriended made false allegations about me.
Charles? Friends with the commissioners?? That's funny! Sounds like you two guys should be getting along great-two peas in a pod of crazy. Nobody even knows what you guys are talking about.
C'mon keep it going

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

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

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

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

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

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

"WOW" What a guy.Where did all that come from. Sounds like this guy has a problem.NO maybe a lot of problems.Too bad.
He just goes on and on doesn't he?
yeah it's not pretty. it's like a car wreck that just keeps happening. kinda scary knowing he is in our back yard again. Mr.Amos you need professional help man. i can give you some numbers. you don't have to live with your paranoia. there is help if you seek it.
Before I can even begin to believe that you are for real Why not crawl out of cyber space and into the real world. It stars by proving to all that you have a name. Cheap shots under Anoymous in Chucky's ain't worth squat to me unless you are man enough to look me in the eye and stand by your words. I do What say you got a name and a set of balls or just a mouth like Chucky?
Only the crooks are scared that I am back in the Maritimers. A lot of ordinary folks like me are laughing at how I am poking holes in their stuffed shirts. This letter is wickedly funny, Both Adrienne Clarkson and Herménégilde Chiasson answered this one after my wife and I and a lawyer who wanted Rob Moore's seat in parliament visited the Police Commission in New Brunswick. Bev Harrison would not answer this letter or even return my calles even though he has represented me from my spot on the hill since I landed home last year. His assistants have affirmed to me several times that they received it. I am demanding an answer from Tanker now tha old Bev's assistant Bill Oliver refused to call me back for the last time on Friday. I do not care what the tough talking Danny Boy Bussieres says only the Speaker can authorize the Sergeant at Arms to ban a man from the legislature. Besides that the Governor General his ultimate boss told me I was doing the right thing before I returned to the USA and into Deputy Dog's buddy's jail. I wiil put this letter and the responses in the same email to Chucky and Deputy Dog

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

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

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

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

Why you lied about me called me names and didn't give Brad Green my material as you promised spoke volumes to me about your integrity. Don't even try to argue me about my manners. I know how to behave myself it is you who does not.

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

Hey Mr. Costello
Need I say I was not impressed by you yesterday. At least you confessed that you knew who I was but so much for a jealous defense of your client’s interests. EH? That said there is no need to send you hard copy of my material. Your associates within McInnes Cooper already have enough to review and confer with you about.
Perhaps you should call the dudes or ladies (: Tell them how I chuck rocks will ya? from Patterson Palmer in Halifax that merged with your firm or better yet Lenny Hoyt and Franky Boy McKenna. In my humble opinion your little buddy Franky Boy as Canadian Ambassador should have tried to stop NB Power’s malicious lawsuit against Venezeula in the USA before it picked up steam. But what do I know. EH? I think the dudes from Venezeula were wise to bring the issues back to the Maritimes and into the Irvings’ lap. I think it was a hoot that they employed your firm to do so. What say you? Whereas you do not wish to speak to me I will speak to these dudes about you, Embassy of Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, 32 Range Rd Ottawa Ontario K1N 8J4, Phone: 613 235-5151 and then send them what I sent Allan Rock Franky Boy Mckenna and the FBI almost one year ago. Perhaps you should call some of your friends mentioned below that I served my stuff upon yesterday after I talked to you and ask them what the Hell I am up to if you don’t already know.
Veritas Vincit
David Raymond Amos
P.S. the following was an interesting article to come out in the local paper just as Humpty Dumpty had the Governor Gerneral drop the Writ on the last election. It certainly seems to me that the Irving’s and Bernie Lord were trying hard to help Stevey Boy Harper’s government and John Wallace get elected in order to protect their own selfish interests. EH? If he won’t tell ya then ask me why Franky Boy does not want to be the liberal leader right now. I Double Dog Dare Ya. As I said in closing yesterday you have my number but maybe the dudes from Venezeula lost it so here it is again 506 434 1379. Your problem is do I want to talk to you now. Whilst I am talking to your clients about your incompetance I will explain to them why I am preparing to sue your whole god damned law firm.

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

Much has happened good for me since then.
Are you in Canada, in Parliment, or are you still in the Boston area?

Does this stuff answer your question Stevey Baby? I read what you said of me within your long winded Blogs. I told you the truth years ago and now I will tell you a little bit more. To me you are just another greedy sneaky Yankee now. But to be fair to you I must admit that we have our share of bull___ing bloggers and crooked politicians in the Maritimes as well One of them is a Frenchie named Charlie Leblanc and another named Bernie Lord. Please allow me to introduce them and some of their cohorts to you. Their emails are wittin and his Blog and yours is below. How dare you bastards imply that I am a one percenter in order to promote yourselves.

This is obvious Bull__ supported by Charlie Leblanc for his old buddy the malevolent Sergreant at Arms Danny Boy Bussieres were talking two years ago. Now that he has lost his trusted staus he files a human rights compalint after he laughed at my false imprisonment in a Yankee jail?

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

Dear Mr. Specter:
I have been asked to forward the enclosed tapes to you from a man named, David Amos, a Canadian citizen, in connection with the matters raised in the attached letter. Mr. Amos has represented to me that these are illegal FBI wiretap tapes. I believe Mr. Amos has been in contact with you about this previously.
Very truly yours,

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

As a little reward Frenchie Here is the reason Franky Boy McKenna, Allan Rock, John Manley, and Brian Tobin will not run for leader of the liberal party.
Call them and ask them or the FBI to sse if they wish to call me a liar. Better yet call the Yankee Senators Arlen Spevter or Russ Feingold. Nitey night Chucky. The clock clicked past midnight and the blog has not turned into a pumpkin yet. I am impressed with your your Newfound sense of integrity but quit the wise cracks and try to say something about this crap I have posted that really matters. Will ya?

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

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

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

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

Everybody loves a mystery. A lot of folks were no doubt wondering why the big talking old fart named Petey Newman apologized to Lord Conrad Black not long after he and Mikey Levine laughed off his lawsuit at the big party in Toronto. Didn't it seem strange to anyone that the Tory's law firm wrote the crooked old Lord a fat cheque as well? It seems that the Torys, a dude named Mr. Moate, Levine, Greenspan, Newman and I may be the only ones to know the true reason why and I am the only one who will tell the tale.

I know of two Maritimers who will never have a hope in hell of figuring it out because they do not have two clues between them and if the did they would not know what to do with them.

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

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

We allowed you to have your own little blog. I believe
it's a good way for you to spread your message.
I'm still trying to figure out exactly what the
message is???...lol
Anyway, there's no need to condenm the people who are
activists like Vaugh.
I believe it attracts new visitors that search the
names you mention.
But once that blog is delete? It's too fini.
I too had problems at the Legislature and it's in
front of the Human Rights Commission.
It takes time.....
All I'm asking is that you try to be nice and don't
condenm people like Vaugh who an activist also.
Just try to be nice.....
Lets try to spread our message in a nice way!
What do you think???
What, specifically, are all these people being sued for? You rant and rave and nobody can make heads or tails out of what you are talking about.
We know you ran for office. We know that you try to impeach Bush (and anybody who does that certainly gets good marks from me!) We know that for some reason they held you in jail? Is that correct?
I'm assuming its under the new terrorism laws, since you say they wouldn't let you see evidence. That also is not surprising the way the US is functioning.
But what are all the lawsuits about? There is something about wiretap evidence that for some reason you are sending to canadian politicians and lawyers..why is that?
What exactly are all these law firms doing? If they are crooked, then specifically what evidence do you have? That lawyers are crooks also doesn't surprise most people, I"m mostly surprised we continue to elect so many of them.
But if you could explain point by point what the grievances are against these people, then people may understand. Perhaps you don't care and just want to let off steam, that's fine too, that's what blogs are for. However, many people would like to know what you are suing these people for?
Good day to ye with no name. thanks for the question. Methinks by your questions you must be Vaughn.I stated the reason for my first lawsuit clearly live on CTV news to that Murphy character at suppertime just before I was allowed to debate Andy Scot in Oromocto.
My first lawsuit will be to seek relief for the offense against my rights under the Charter because I was falsely imprisoned without being charged, held without bail and it was all done without even being read my rights. Then I was denied my right to a trial after met the Canadian Consulate in jailand came screaming out. I had tried to remove the matter to the proper jurisdiction and venue in order to prove the malicious prosecution to no avail. the bastarsds in the USA will never give a jury of my peers and Federal Court in Canada does not employ a jury. Thus I must make my issues well known locally before I file so that the Judges will not dismiss my complaints so easily as they have done in the past. Give me a call if you are not Vaughn and I will meet you show you the evidence.

P.S. My next posting is quite a rant. I explain things in greater detail to say the least but my manners are slipping fast. It will be the maximum stress test of Chucky's newfound sense of ethics.
So you are suing the canadian government for being held in jail in the US? Is that right, or were you held in Canada? How does that even work?
Why go on a lengthy rant to 'test' Charles? Take a break if your manners are slipping. Having your messages deleted on the last place your story can be told hardly seems helpful.
"Then I was denied my right to a trial after met the Canadian Consulate in jailand came screaming out"
That makes no sense whatsoever. People don't need long rants, they need clarity. You are suing the canadian government because they refused to help you while in US custody, is that correct?
Bingo. Vaughn
Wouldn't it be funny if you are not Vaughn but actually Clevelans Allaby or Bras Green or Jeff Mockler or beter yet David Lutz or Vaughn's buddy Brucy Baby Noble. that can't be though because Vaughn must be Chucky's only legal minded friend
I am typing to fast because I am upt to something far more important right now involving J. Division. Mean old Zach's old stomping grounds.
You know what? I am am gonna take you advice and take a break from Chucky's little sideshow and go downtown to see what condition my condition is in Fredericton. I will be the ugly guy grinning and smoking a lot but not saying a damned think. From now on i want everything i say recorded. One must do such things when one sues the Crown.
EH Vaughn?
Well, that makes some sense anyway. So how are these New Brunswick lawyers involved? Are you saying that none of them will represent you or what? You are sending them this wiretap evidence for what reason? If it's federal court why are you even in New Brunswick, all the lawyers in this province are idiots and irving lackeys. Why not go to Toronto where there are at least some civil liberties lawyers.
The trouble is, I don't know of any legal grounds that 'forces' the canadian government to intervene in a foreign country's legal system. If somebody plants coke on you in columbia and you get caught, then plead with canada to help you out, you'll be out of luck.
Under the charter canadians have fewer rights than americans. Our 'terror laws' are the mirror image of the US's, but never even had moranda rights or anything ike that. In Canada, you are simply f&&&&& if you cross the state, as any native, environmentalist, protestor, or civil rights attorney will tell you.
I don't know of a single case where somebody successfully sued, even David Milgaard was given a settlement since it was dragging out so long. Natives have tried suing for years.
However, it's easy to talk from the outside. But if Ernst Zundel couldn't sue for being held for almost a decade with no charges against him in Canada, I don't see how far a lawsuit against Canada for not intervening in a foreign country will go.
Civil rights? Where do you think you ar?? Lok at th e blog. A woman can't panhandel to make life a little bettre. Boarding house residents can't do anything. This was a joke, but if that owner wanted to, he could toss Charles for just that reason. Hell, owners could show up at their apartments and tell them they want a blowjob, any body who said no would be told to get out. Welcome to New Brunswick.
I am back in more ways than one.
It is half past quitting time and all the corrupt politicians are out getting drunk or laid or both. Tis time for bloggers to come out and play maybe with luck what the smiling bastards read in the morning will give a few of them a stroke and Lord can call some more snap by elections EH?
"Welcome to New Brunswick?" Jeez I was born and raised here i have lived here for over forty years of my life. I am older than Chucky and lived just down the road from where he was brought up in Dorchester NB. I went to High School and UNB in Fredericton when most of the snots that are screwing us did. Why do you think I am so pissed off? You don't think I know the score. If someone claims that I am a Yankee again I think I may hunt them down. If because a man lives somewhere else for awhile makes him a man of that place then how come a Newfy is always a Newfy everywhere he goes.
Here is a God's moment for Chucky:
Wht did God tell the Newfys?
Play dumb til I get back Will ya?
that joke seems to hold true here to. since I left the room nothing further was said. How come. cat got you tongue chucky or could it be the emails I sent ya?

Can ya tell I am fishing?
If you speak of the devil he is sure to appear particularly when you jerk his chain and piss him off.

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

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

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