Former MP considering bid to replace Trudeau as Liberal leader after party's byelection defeat

 
 

Liberal backbencher calls for Trudeau to resign in email to caucus

Saint John-Rothesay MP Wayne Long says new leadership needed 'for the good of our country'

Liberal backbencher Wayne Long has sent an email to caucus calling for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to resign as party leader after the party lost a Toronto-area riding that's been solidly Liberal for decades earlier this week.

The New Brunswick MP is the first Liberal caucus member to openly call for Trudeau's resignation since Tuesday's byelection upset in Toronto-St. Paul's.

"For the future of our party and for the good of our country, we need new leadership and a new direction," Long wrote in an email obtained by CBC News.

"The voters have spoken loud and clear they want change. I agree."

The Saint John-Rothesay MP, who has spoken out against his government in the past, is not re-offering in the next election.

Newfoundland and Labrador MP Ken McDonald responded to the email with, "Well said!"

He later told CBC News he liked how Long articulated himself but isn't calling for Trudeau to resign. 

The Avalon MP, who has voted against his own party twice on the carbon tax, said it's the prime minister's decision to make alone, but stressed the need for an urgent, in-person caucus meeting with Trudeau.

According to sources who have seen the email chain, Kingston MP Mark Gerretsen asked members to stop hitting reply-all.

Trudeau, who has not taken questions from reporters since the byelection, has insisted he plans to stay on as leader.

"I and my entire team have much more hard work to do to deliver tangible, real progress that Canadians can see and feel," he said in a media statement this week.

Before this week's vote, a Conservative candidate hadn't been competitive in Toronto-St. Paul's since the 1980s. The party hadn't won a seat in urban Toronto since the 2011 federal election.

Conservative Don Stewart secured the breakthrough, beating Liberal candidate Leslie Church by 590 votes.

 CBC has reached out to Long for comment.

In 2017, he was kicked off two parliamentary committees after he supported a failed Conservative motion related to proposed small business tax changes.

Former Trudeau minister Catherine McKenna says Liberals need a new leader

McKenna is the first person who served in Trudeau's cabinet to call on him to quit

Catherine McKenna, who served as a prominent Liberal cabinet minister under Prime Minister Justin Trudeau from 2015 to 2021, says it's time for the Liberal Party to seek a "new leader."

"The Liberal Party isn't about one person. It's about the values it stands for and it's about improving the lives of Canadians," McKenna said in a statement to CBC News.

"The prime minister has a legacy to be proud of, but it's time for new ideas, new energy and a new leader. There's too much at stake in this election, especially on the economy and the climate."

McKenna is the first person who served in Trudeau's cabinet to call for a change in leadership since the Liberals' surprising loss this week in the Toronto-St. Paul's byelection.

The Liberal Party had held the riding since 1993 and won it by nearly 13,000 votes just three years ago in the general election. Conservative candidate Don Stewart won a narrow victory there on Monday.

While the Liberals have trailed the Conservatives by a wide margin in opinion polls over the past year and a half, their loss of Toronto-St. Paul's has revived questions about Trudeau's leadership and the direction of the government. The prime minister has said repeatedly that he intends to lead the party into the next election.

What are the next steps for Trudeau and the Liberals after byelection loss? | Power & Politics

Duration 10:27
David Herle, chief campaign strategist for the Liberals under former prime minister Paul Martin, told Power & Politics Thursday that Justin Trudeau should be asking himself, 'What's the risk of me leaving, what's the risk of me staying?' as some Liberal MPs are questioning Trudeau's leadership following the party's shocking byelection loss in Toronto-St. Paul's. 

Trudeau appointed McKenna, who represented the riding of Ottawa Centre, as his first minister of the environment and climate change in 2015. She held that portfolio until 2019.

During those four years, the Liberal government negotiated a national framework on climate change and energy policy, the centrepiece of which was a national price on carbon.

After the 2019 election, she was appointed minister of infrastructure and communities, a post she held until she left federal politics in 2021.

A year later, United Nations Secretary General Antonio Guterres named her chair of an expert panel studying net-zero commitments from "non-state actors" such as businesses and financial institutions.

Sources have told CBC News that the loss in Toronto-St. Paul's is driving debate within the Liberal caucus about the future prospects of the party and Trudeau's leadership, and the effectiveness of the political team that surrounds the prime minister.

On Thursday, Liberal MP Sophie Chatel dodged a question about whether she thinks Trudeau should stay on as leader.

"It's not something that I feel comfortable to share. I think it's discussions that are being done internally. I think ultimately it's his decision, and I respect that," she told CBC News during a media availability.

Sophie Chatel, Liberal MP for the Quebec riding of Pontiac, would not say whether she thinks Justin Trudeau should stay on as the leader of the Liberal Party when asked by CBC News on Wednesday.

But behind the scenes, a number of Liberal MPs have told CBC News that the national caucus needs to meet as soon as possible to discuss the fallout from the byelection loss, and are arguing the gathering can't wait until the caucus retreat scheduled for the end of the summer. Those MPs spoke to CBC on the condition they not be named.

At least one Liberal MP has spoken publicly about a desire within the caucus for a meeting with the prime minister before the House of Commons returns in September.

"It's almost a shame that we're not gathering as a caucus until after the summer, but I think the focus right now is on our community members," MP Jenica Atwin told CBC News during a media availability Wednesday.

Former MP considering bid to replace Trudeau as Liberal leader after party's byelection defeat

No decision to step down by Trudeau, but one more name waiting in the wings should that happen: Frank Baylis

Only a day after Conservatives won a federal byelection in the longtime Liberal stronghold of Toronto-St. Paul's, ending a race that was largely viewed as a referendum on Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's leadership at the head of the governing party, a new potential contender says he is considering a bid to replace him. 

Former Liberal MP Frank Baylis confirmed to CBC News he has been approached for a leadership run.

"A number of people are asking me to think about this, and I'm taking their request seriously," Baylis said in an interview. 

"It's been a long time, there's been a demand, there's been an interest in having a more centrist viewpoint, a more fiscally responsible approach, and with my background in business, many people have approached me and talked to me about this."

Baylis represented Pierrefonds-Dollard, another riding considered one of the safest in the country for the Liberals, on Montreal's West Island, from 2015 to 2019. He stepped down that year. 

He is the executive chairperson of Baylis Medical Tech, a company he sold to a larger American firm, Boston Scientific, for $1.75 billion US in 2022. 

He insisted he has made no firm decision, but has been watching the fallout from the byelection result closely. 

WATCH | PM says he Liberals have 'much more work to do,' following byelection loss:
 

‘Not the result that we wanted,’ Trudeau on Liberal Toronto-St.Paul’s byelection loss

Duration 1:10
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said he and his Liberal team have ‘much more work to do,’ following the loss of a Liberal seat in the Toronto-St.Paul’s riding.

"This was a very, very decisive defeat, from a [previous] very strong victory," Baylis said, adding he understood the frustration of Liberal MPs who are concerned about their chances at reelection.  

"Prime Minister Trudeau will decide what he wants to do if and when he decides to do that, that's his prerogative," Baylis said.

He added only then would he decide his own next steps.

On Tuesday, Trudeau addressed the byelection results but gave no indication he was thinking of stepping down.

"I and my entire team have much more hard work to do to deliver tangible, real progress that Canadians can see and feel," he said.

Two Liberal MPs, speaking to CBC News on the condition they not be named, said they have heard of Baylis considering a leadership run.

"This has been an open secret," said one MP, who said Baylis had been one of the best new Liberal parliamentarians for the term he was elected to public office.

The MP said Baylis's name has floated around for years, though also added "at a time like this, I don't think he has the necessary experience."

Another Liberal MP said they personally advised Baylis to seriously start thinking about mounting a national campaign. 

"[Baylis] was hoping he had about two years left," this MP said. "His plan was to ramp it up over time and not be ready just now." 

Nobody has publicly thrown their hat into the ring with definite plans to replace Trudeau, though former Bank of Canada governor Mark Carney has not ruled it out, and the Globe and Mail has reported Public Safety Minister Dominic LeBlanc was eyeing the position. 

Baylis a staunch opponent of Quebec secularism law

Though he has stayed largely out of the public eye after leaving office, Baylis has been a staunch opponent of Bill 21, the controversial Quebec legislation that bars public sector workers in positions of authority from wearing overt religious symbols such as hijabs or yarmulkes at their jobs, for the sake of secularism. 

He is the co-president of Non à la Loi 21 (No to Law 21), one of many organizations hoping to fight the legislation at the Supreme Court of Canada. 

The law remains popular in Quebec, a province that is key to the Liberal Party's fortunes in federal elections. However, Baylis said he was not concerned about openly challenging its discriminatory nature.

"Too many times I see, in all politics, people are making this kind of political calculation: what will get me votes versus what's the right thing to do," he said, adding he is convinced most Quebecers would side against the law if they understood its negative societal impacts. 

He said his mother, Gloria Baylis, a Black woman from Barbados, made history as the first person to win a racial discrimination lawsuit against an employer in Canada in 1965.

Controversy at company

Baylis faced controversy shortly after he stepped down from office. 

In December 2020, he testified before a Parliamentary Committee about his company Baylis Medical Tech taking part in a consortium that received $237 million from the federal government to procure 10,000 ventilators during the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic.

He defended the contract, saying the ventilators the company helped build have since been in demand in other countries, such as Pakistan, India and Ukraine. 

"It's about having Canadian industry step up when there's a crisis," he said. 

He said he would not be surprised if political opponents try to attack him over the procurement. "That's OK. I'm a big boy, this is politics, I understand that," he said.

But he insisted he would  tell Canadians the truth about the ventilators, pointing to an award he received from an NGO for donating medical equipment to Ukraine.

This is no longer innuendo or politically motivated accusations, it has now been proven that our PM violated multiple ethics laws. How can he now refuse to explain himself in front of the ethics committee and still expect to have any credibility?

@Ellis Purdue True Dough has broken the law alright but not with regards to a helicopter ride on his vacation. This is the part of the article that concerns me. I suspect these two dudes had lots to talk about away from prying eyes.

"CBC News has previously reported that John Kerry, who was the U.S. secretary of state at the time, was also a guest on the Aga Khan's island during Trudeau's vacation."

FYI John Kerry is a friend of many people I was suing in Boston beginning in 2002 and his people laughed at me while he was running to be president but quit laughing after I got out the Beantown Jail where I was held under the charges of "Other" with no bail after running in the election of the 38th Parliament. Trust that I am far more concerned about the crimes that Trudeau "The Younger"and his cohorts have been covering up for the benefit of their Yankee pals.

@Ben Smith Who cares when the Ethics Commissioners do not understand the meaning of the word?

Last year I got several answers in writing from Mary Dawson's people. They refused to investigate any of the emails I sent their lawyer/boss since Harper appointed her. More importantly they denied receiving the Hard Copy of many documents I sent Howard Wilson in 2004 and and Bernard Shapiro in 2006 long before he quit even after I sent them the proof

http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/ethics-commissioner-shapiro-resigns-1.653619

"Bernard Shapiro is resigning as federal ethics commissioner, his spokesman said Thursday.His reasons for leaving were not provided."

Trust that I knew the reasons and so does Mario Dion the former Commissioner of Public Sector Integrity. He and hi his people answered me in writing as well.

Senate - Procedural Officers and Senior Officials

The senior procedural officers and other officials of the Senate exist to serve Parliament. They are responsible for the administration of the Senate as one of the constituent chambers of Parliament.

The officials of the Senate are:

Clerks of the Senate and Clerks of the Parliaments

As the Senate’s chief administrative officer, the Clerk of the Senate manages the Senate’s day-to-day operation. The Clerk also supports all aspects of the legislative process, from the swearing-in of new Senators to advising the Speaker on parliamentary procedure and interpretation of the rules. As Clerk of the Parliaments, the Clerk is custodian of all original Acts and is responsible for certifying true copies of these Acts.

Ushers of the Black Rod

Originally a member of the royal household and then a parliamentary messenger, the Usher of the Black Rod continues to act as a messenger. It is the Black Rod who informs Members of the House of Commons that they are summoned to the Senate to hear the Speech from the Throne that opens every session of Parliament or to witness the Royal Assent that enacts bills adopted by Parliament into law. The title of the position comes from the ebony stick carried by the Black Rod, which is used to knock on the doors of the House of Commons Chamber to gain admission into that Chamber.

Upon the appointment of the first woman to the position of "Gentleman Usher of the Black Rod" on October 20, 1997, the Senate proposed that the title be changed to "Usher of the Black Rod" (Senate Journals, November 6, 1997).

Senate Ethics Officer (SEO)

The Senate Ethics Officer (SEO), a position created by the Parliament of Canada Act, is an independent, non-partisan officer of the Senate and has the control and management of the Office of the Senate Ethics Officer.

The Senate Ethics Officer is appointed by the Governor in Council, after consultation with the leaders of the recognized parties in the Senate and approval of a resolution in the Senate. The SEO holds the position for a term of seven years and may be removed only by the Governor in Council following an address of the Senate, and only for cause. He or she may be reappointed for subsequent terms of up to seven years each. 

The statute provides that the SEO is to perform the duties and functions assigned by the Senate for governing the conduct of members of the Senate. Thus, the SEO is responsible for administering the Ethics and Conflict of Interest Code for Senators independently and in collaboration with the Senate Standing Committee on Ethics and Conflict of Interest for Senators.

Trudeau government nominates Mario Dion as new ethics watchdog
By Janice Dickson and Beatrice Britneff. Published on Dec 11, 2017
3:48pm

"Dion’s nomination must be approved by the House of Commons. Just an
hour before Chagger made the announcement, Conservative Leader Andrew
Scheer asked Trudeau in question period about whether members of
Parliament would be able to question the nominee for ethics
commissioner.

The candidates for lobbying and official languages commissioners both
appeared before parliamentary and senate committees to discuss their
nominations."

Liberals Ignore Concerns About Secrecy And Officially Appoint New
Ethics Watchdog
Mario Dion is slated to start his seven-year term in January.
12/13/2017 17:45 EST | Updated 46 minutes ago
 Zi-Ann Lum  Politics Reporter, HuffPost Canada
Althia Raj Ottawa Bureau Chief, HuffPost Canada

OTTAWA — Liberal MPs ignored the opposition's concerns Wednesday and
voted in Mario Dion as the new ethics commissioner for a seven-year
term.

Questions from New Democrats about Dion's nomination dogged Prime
Minister Justin Trudeau in question period. The prime minister
defended a nomination process opposition MPs say was secretive and
partisan.

The Canadian Press/Sean Kilpatrick
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau responds to a question during question
period in the House of Commons on Parliament Hill in Ottawa on Dec.
13, 2017.

"The watchdogs don't work for Liberals. They work for all of
Parliament and we represent all Canadians," said NDP MP Murray Rankin.

Trudeau brushed off accusations the government failed to properly
consult with opposition leaders, saying the selection committee did
its due diligence to "arrive at the right choices" for new watchdogs.

The political zeal of prime minister's response didn't please NDP MP
Nathan Cullen, who suggested that Liberals are operating on a double
standard when it comes to ethics.

The prime minister said the government asked the opposition for help
with names, suggestions and proposals "months ago" to fill two
watchdog vacancies — lobbying and official languages. Trudeau did not
say if the government did the same when compiling a list of candidates
for the ethics commissioner role.

With the chamber on the cusp of holiday break, Trudeau took a shot at
the opposition saying, "You can't help but feel bad" for them. He said
job creation numbers and a growing economy are evidence of "positive
outcomes" that leave the opposition "with nothing to do but fling
accusations and throw mud."

Earlier, NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh said he was disappointed by Dion's
reluctance to promise the House of Commons' ethics committee that he
would complete two investigations that involve the prime minister and
finance minister.

The Canadian Press/Sean Kilpatrick
NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh is joined by members of his party as they
hold press conference on Parliament Hill in Ottawa on Dec. 13, 2017.

Singh said Dion's nomination resulted from a process that isn't
transparent or non-pa"That opens up the question that Canadians are now going to ask
whether the government it making this appointment on purpose to squash
any further investigation," he said.
Heated committee hearing

Dion's nomination was met with scrutiny on Tuesday when he appeared
before a committee hearing to face questions about his qualification
to be the next ethics commissioner.

He offered a summary of his 35-year career in the public service,
noting an 18-year stint at the department of justice, as well as a
four-year term as public sector integrity commissioner between 2011
and 2014.

Dion faced a barrage of questions from opposition MPs Peter Kent and
Nathan Cullen, who were most critical over his potential efficacy as
the new ethics commissioner.

Kent opened his remarks with a jab at the Liberal government, saying
Dion must be anticipating "a very busy time" because there could be
"much to investigate."

The Canadian Press/Adrian Wyld
Mario Dion as shown in Ottawa on Dec. 13, 2011 when he was public
sector integrity commissioner.

Kent asked Dion if he could reassure the committee that two
high-profile investigations — one looking into the prime minister's
vacation to the Aga Khan's private island in the Bahamas; the other
reviewing how new pension legislation could have affected the finance
minister's family company — would continue if he is appointed as the
next ethics commissioner.

Dion said he would consider the files as one of his "top priorities,"
but stopped short of promising if he would complete the
investigations, both initiated by outgoing ethics commissioner Mary
Dawson whose current term ends Jan. 8, 2018.

Kent asked Dion to talk about "a couple of black marks" linked to his
record.

In 2014, Auditor General Michael Ferguson tabled a report that
criticized Dion's office for "gross mismanagement" of two files
related to a whistleblower during his performance as public sector
integrity commissioner.

The government was forced to extend its deadline to search for a new
ethics watchdog, saying there wasn't a "pool of qualified candidates"
for the job.

Despite raising a suite of concerns during the hearing, Kent told
reporters that he intends to vote to confirm Dion's nomination as
ethics commissioner.

    We were given notice just last last week from the government and
here you are today with Parliament, perhaps, closing tomorrow.Nathan
Cullen, vice-chair of standing ethics committee

Dion said he decided to apply for the role in late-summer. In
mid-November, the government called him in for an interview. That
hour-long interview took place three weeks ago, he explained to the
committee.

One of the main concerns over the government's decision to nominate
Dion is over its failure to consult with opposition party leaders, as
required in the Parliament of Canada Act.

"We were given notice just last last week from the government and here
you are today with Parliament, perhaps, closing tomorrow," Cullen
said.

Dion was grilled by Cullen over an email he sent in 2011 when he was
the interim public sector integrity commissioner.

In the email, Dion gave a heads up to a Privy Council Office official
to brief former clerk Wayne Wouters about an issue that may come up in
a committee inquiry.

"I will be pleased to provide details to a PCO officer to ensure Wayne
is not blind-sided," Dion wrote in the Feb. 2, 2011 email. Cullen
asked Dion if he regretted the email.

Dion responded by saying he has no recollection of what the subject
was about. "I must have written hundreds of thousands of emails," he
said.

"Do you see my concern?" Cullen said. "That as an integrity
commissioner if you're giving somebody who might be falling under
investigation a heads up so that they're not blindsided, would fall
completely outside of your purview to do."

NDP MP Nathan Cullen rises during question period in the House of
Commons in Ottawa as pictured on Oct.25, 2017.

Dion added more context moments later, telling Cullthe subject, it was somebody else... it was not about Wayne, it was
about somebody else that reports to Wayne."

In his explanation, he also hedged that his memory is still unclear
about details.

The email was an opportunity to "give the clerk a chance to organize
and respond," Dion said. "But I don't recall who it was or what it
was."
Conacher: Liberals have 'jumped the shark' with Dion nomination

Democracy Watch, an Ottawa-based political accountability watchdog,
called the selection a "secretive, PMO-controlled, partisan process."

Duff Conacher of Democracy Watch said it's "outrageous" that the
government nominated someone with a "clear unethical record" to the
role as ethics watchdog.

He referred to the process in how Ontario makes judicial appointments
as a "world-leading model." In that process, selection committee
members — a majority of whom appointed by non-governmental
organizations — compile a merit-based public list for cabinet to
choose from.

The selection committee tasked with finding an ethics commissioner
nominee was stacked with members of the Privy Council Office and
Treasury Board, including Government House Leader Bardish Chagger's
chief of staff.

"I think the Liberals have jumped the shark with this appointment,"
Conacher told HuffPost Canada.
Confidence low over Liberal watchdog appointments

Dion replaces Mary Dawson, the first conflict of interest and ethics
commissioner, who had her term extended three times as the Liberals
sought a replacement. Trudeau who is personally under investigation by
Dawson for his Bahamian vacation, excused himself from the process as
well as his senior staff handing over the choice of the new
commissioner to the government house leader.

The Liberals also extended the term of the lobbying commissioner,
Karen Shepherd, three times, only nominating a new individual, Nancy
Bélanger, less than two weeks ago.

At the time, Trudeau also appointed a new official languages
commissioner, Raymond Théberge to replace Graham Fraser who retired
last December.

The Canadian Press/Sean Kilpatrick
Ethics Commissioner Mary Dawson speaks to reporters after appearing as
a witness at a commons committee on Parliament Hill, in Ottawa on Oct.
17, 2017.

Earlier this year, the Grits had sought to replace Fraser with Ontario
MPP and Liberal cabinet minister Madeleine Meilleur.

But the partisan appointment outraged the Conservatives and NDP who
also remarked that they had not been consulted, as required by law.
Then NDP leader Thomas Mulcair noted that the commissioner's office
had received complaints about Trudeau using French to respond to an
anglophone Quebecer months prior and he accused the prime minister of
being in a "clear conflict of interest" and of naming someone from his
"inner circle."

Meilleur is a big Liberal donor who had cut a cheque to Trudeau's
leadership campaign, but it was her comments to parliamentarians that
sunk her nomination.

Under questioning from MPs and senators, Meilleur acknowledged that
she had spoken to Trudeau's chief of staff, Katie Telford, and his
principal secretary, Gerald Butts — two people she knew well from
their days at Queen's Park — about possible employment.

She had originally wanted to be a senator but said she quickly found
out that nobody wanted to appoint former politicians to an institution
Trudeau was trying to turn non-partisan. The Prime Minister's Office
insisted that none of the conversations dealt with the commissioner's
position specifically. But seemingly unsure her appointment would be
approved by the Senate, Meilleur declined the nomination in early
June.

There are still several parliamentary watchdog positions — well-paid
lengthy tenured jobs tasked with keeping the government, and, or,
parliamentarians accountable — that have yet to be filled.

Information Commissioner, Suzanne Legault had her term extended by six
months in June. Her replacement has not been named.

The Chief Electoral Officer, the person charged wielection in 20 months, has yet to be appointed. The outgoing head,
Marc Mayrand, retired a year ago.

Judicial council won't pursue inquiry into conflict of interest
allegation against Vic Toews
'No further action is required,' Canadian Judicial Council says after
review
By Sean Kavanagh, CBC News Posted: Nov 30, 2017 11:16 AM CT


The Canadian Judicial Council has completed its review of the conduct
of Manitoba Court of Queen's Bench Justice Vic Toews and says it won't
be investigating complaints against him further.

The council said Thursday that two complaints were reviewed by Justice
Christopher Hinkson, chief justice of the Supreme Court of British
Columbia, who found nothing that would warrant Toews' removal.

"Chief Justice Hinkson notes that the [federal ethics] commissioner
did not make any findings that put into question the integrity, good
faith or credibility of Justice Toews," the council said in a media
release.

"Upon a full review of all the relevant information, Chief Justice
Hinkson found an absence of any information that would suggest an
attempt to mislead or reveal conduct incojudicial office."

The review was launched following a complaint received in relation to
a report by the Conflict of Interest and Ethics Commissioner.

In April, ​Canada's ethics commissioner found the former Conservative
cabinet minister breached conflict of interest rules by doing
consulting work for two Manitoba First Nations after he left office.

Mary Dawson's report last spring said Toews advised a First Nations
group he had once fought in court when he was Treasury Board president
in the former federal Conservative government.

Dawson's report said Toews "acted for or on behalf of a party that was
seeking relief against a decision in which he had been involved as a
minister of the Crown."

The report said Toews also broke the rules requiring a two-year
cooling off period for providing consultancy services to the Norway
House Cree Nation through a company owned by his wife.​

interest rules, commissioner finds

documents

Toews challenged the decision of the commissioner in court, but
dropped the case recently.

Federal Court
    Manitoba Judge Vic Toews drops court challenge of ethics
commissioner ruling

National advocacy organization Democracy Watch filed a complaint
against Toews with the Canadian Judicial Council after his alleged
conflict interest was raised.

"The actions that were under scrutiny by the commissioner were not
ones that raised issues for the Canadian Judicial Council," Norman
Sabourin of the CJC said Thursday. "I am of the view that there was a
thorough review because it's an issue that was in the public domain
and it deserved a thorough review, which is what the council did."

Toews' lawyer said Thursday he is happy the matter is finished.

"I thought the [ethics] commissioner's process was badly, badly flawed
and unfair, and so I'm happy that everything's over," Robert Tapper
said.

The interim Public Sector Integrity Commissioner refused to appear at
OGGO today, what a lack of transparency from the government!

Lets just say say I downloaded and saved then watched these webcasts
several times with great interest after I watched the webcast of April
28th. After my recent conversations with the OGGO clerk and several
others I suspect that you all know why by now.

Everybody knows that I have been calling Joe Friday and his many
cohorts liars for years and saved the proof of what I say is true
Correct? Check this out before you dare to disagree.

I talked to Don Newman earlier this week before the beancounters David
Dodge and Don Drummond now of Queen's gave their spin about Canada's
Health Caree system yesterday and Sheila Fraser yapped on and on on
CAPAC during her last days in office as if she were oh so
elthical.. To be fair to him I just called Greg Weston (613-288-6938)
I suggested that he should at least Google SOUCOM and David Amos It
would be wise if he check ALL of CBC's sources before he publishes
something else about the DND EH Don Newman? Lets just say that the fact
that
your old CBC buddy, Tony Burman is now in charge of Al Jazeera English
never impressed me. The fact that he set up a Canadian office is
interesting though

"But Lang, defence minister McCallum's chief of staff, says military
brass were not entirely forthcoming on the issue. For instance, he
says, even McCallum initially didn't know those soldiers were helping
to plan the invasion of Iraq up to the highest levels of command,
including a Canadian general.

That general is Walt Natynczyk, now Canada's chief of defence staff,
who eight months after the invasion became deputy commander of 35,000
U.S. soldiers and other allied forces in Iraq. Lang says Natynczyk was
also part of the team of mainly senior U.S. mprepare for the invasion from a mobile command in Kuwait."

http://baconfat53.blogspot.com/2010/06/canada-and-united-states.html

"I remember years ago when the debate was on in Canada, about there
being weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. Our American 'friends"
demanded that Canada join into "the Coalition of the Willing. American
"veterans" and sportscasters loudly denounced Canada for NOT buying
into the US policy.

At the time I was serving as a planner at NDHQ and with 24 other of my
colleagues we went to Tampa SOUCOM HQ to be involved in the planning
in the planning stages of the op....and to report to NDHQ, that would
report to the PMO upon the merits of the proposed operation.There was
never at anytime an existing target list of verified sites where there
were deployed WMD.

Coalition assets were more than sufficient for the initial strike and
invasion phase but even at that point in the planning, we were
concerned about the number of "boots on the ground" for the occupation
(and end game) stage of an operation in Iraq. We were also concerned
about the American plans for occupation plans of Iraq because they at
that stage included no contingency for a handing over of civil
authority to a vetted Iraqi government and bureaucracy.

There was no detailed plan for Iraq being "liberated" and returned to
its people...nor a thought to an eventual exit plan. This was contrary
to the lessons of Vietnam but also to current military thought, that
folks like Colin Powell and "Stuffy" Leighton and others elucidated
upon."What's the mission" how long is the mission, what conditions are
to met before US troop can redeploy?

Prime Minister Jean Chretien and the PMO were even at the very
preliminary planning stages wary of Canadian involvement in an Iraq
operation....History would prove them correct. The political pressure
being applied on the PMO from the George W Bush administration was
onerous

American military assets were extremely overstretched, and Canadian
military assets even more so It was proposed by the PMO that Canadian
naval platforms would deploy to assist in naval quarantine operations
in the Gulf and that Canadian army assets would deploy in Afghanistan
thus permitting US army assets to redeploy for an Iraqi
operation....The PMO thought that "compromise would save Canadian
lives and liberal political capital.. and the priority of which
....not necessarily in that order. "

You can bet that I called these sneaky Yankees again today EH John
Adams? of the CSE within the DND?

Thanx for the response but you must be joking. My complaint was that
your chickenshit Military Police refused to investigate and thought my
troubles were funny. GET IT? However the sad but terrible part is I
know that you are not joking. If it were not for men such as David
Thomas speaking up in the Town where I was born i would not be a very
proud Canadian today.

Check out this blog from two years agoo. Howcome the CROWN CORP known
as the CBC does not show us a tally like that as they tell us whttp://qslspolitics.blogspot.com/2008/06/netherlands-prime-minister-visits.html

Now Google mine and Bernie Madoff. Here is a shortcut

Then Go Figure why I am pissed as I watch zionists threaten my family
and pound on the drums for war as their financial backers get awards
in my nativeland and attend Biliderberger meetings with none other
than the corrupt bankster Frank MacKenna and John Adams the boss of
the CSE?

Your lawyers can trust that the link I provide below are to a very
serious pdf file and that it is no joke. FYI if you bother to look you
will see that the Governor General as Commander in Chief of our Armed
Forces has already admitted to receiving two sets of the hard copy of
some of my documents and two CDs from me already and suggested that I
take my concerns to court long before we started losing people
overseas at quite a rate. Trust that legions of CROWN attorneys
already have their fancy knickers in a knot.

Need I say that to me your Commission is just another bunch of
chickenshit bureaucrats like all the rest? So please allow me to
introduce you to the evil bastard himself He is purportedly Barry K.
Winters if not at least that is his email address.

I must say I find it interesting the the Russians care more about my
battles with a zionist than the very people in my native land who
employ him. Interesting EH Mr Harper and Iggy?

No need to enlist me into the Privy Council and swear me to secrecy,
It is not National Security I am concerned about it is the security
and well being of my family. I am gonna do my best to make sure the
Russians, Chinese and Iranians know EVERYTHING that you and the
Yankees know about my concerns as a whistle-blower about financial
crimes etc. Why not if your employee can brag about planning wars and
advocating the murder of my family talking about what I know of
banksters etc is small potatoes EH Franky Boy McKenna, Jacky Boy
MacDougall and of course your pal Arty Baby Mackay?

That said I must ask Raymonde Cléroux the obvious question after what
you witnessed in "Barry K' Winters" blog howcome your did not call the
RCMP if not the Military Police yourself? Scroll down and try to
figure out a proper answer as to whether or not the evil zionist broke
an oath or two as it pertains to Canada's plans to make war with Iraq
in 2002.

And within the info many of my YOUTUBES

BTW the RCMP and the Edmonton PD have refused to do anything so rest
assured I will take care of the evil bastard myself in an ethical and
rather stylish fashion. As I said NOBODY sexually harasses and
threatens to kill my children. However I will file a lawsuit against
the CROWN to cover my butt before I kick his. Perhaps you should
worry about your pocketbook in the "Mean" time.

Perhaps your lawyers should review the CROWN Liabilty Act as if
pertains to the CSE and the DND then study every word of that
zionist's malicious blog to see if I am wrong about why the
commissioner of the Human Rights Commission would not defend her own
reputation.. No matter how secretive the CSE and the RCMP may be at
least you admitted to the knowledge of the death threats and sexual
harassment of my children after I have been copersonally starting with Colonel Pearson and his idiot assistant Lt
Col Tony Weber who think everything is too funny and don't wish their
military police to bother to act within the scope of their employment
just like you would not EH?

April 10, 2010
Some where in the streets and alleys tonight
Some where in the alleys of New Brunswick and Calgary are two uneducated
bums, another day closer to their demise. They are homeless, shiftless,
uneducated, loud, obnoxious and insane ...for these "people" death now
is
better than another day of life...they have made nothing of their
lives...and are nothing but a burden to their families, "friends" and
the....tax payer.

David Amos is reduced now to the status of bum, wandering about asking
people
for spare change, and scouring the streets for cigarette butts to smoke.
When he gets some change he does this sort of thing.

I managed to talk to a Lieutenant-Colonel Tony Weber is Acting Base
Commander
of Base Gagetown 506 422 2000 ext 1410. He and one of his Sgt Majors
even
looked at Barry Winter's blog for me

We seemed to get along as we discussed their vague knowledge of
politicians,
Afghanistan, other officers they claimed to have never heard of, the
CSE, our
missing emails and the words within Barry Winters blog. the Lt Col truly
seemed like an ok dude.

But the instant he said that Barry Winters malicious words were of no
embarrassment to him I got pissed all over again. Imagine if such shit
had
been published by a former officer about him or his family? I bet he
would have sued his bosses long ago if winters had not be locked
up immediately.

Anyway I told the Lt Col that I would see him in courtand hung up on the
snobby bastard and split before the RCMP attempted to corner me in
another
phone booth like they did for another one of Harper's former Minister
GOh Dear....how far has the "real deal" the "ethical whistle blower" has
fallen.
