As a federal election looms, P.E.I. candidates say they're already campaigning

 

Here are the P.E.I. candidates running in the 2025 federal election so far

Below is a list of P.E.I.'s four ridings — you can click each one for more information

With a federal election now officially underway, 14 candidates have been confirmed so far across Prince Edward Island.

On Sunday, Prime Minister Mark Carney asked the Governor General to dissolve Parliament, triggering the federal election.

Canadians will go to the polls on April 28.

To make sense of who's running for what party and where, CBC P.E.I. has compiled a list of candidates running in each of the province's four ridings.

The Conservative, Liberal and New Democratic parties each have a full slate of candidates on the Island. Meanwhile, the Green Party had no P.E.I. candidates listed on its web site as of Monday morning, but the party told CBC it would have an announcement soon for candidates running in Cardigan, Charlottetown and Malpeque.

Conservative nominations on P.E.I. were very interesting

 

Liberal backbencher calls on Justin Trudeau to resign as Liberal leader

P.E.I. MP Sean Casey says voters in his riding have 'tuned Justin Trudeau out'

A Liberal backbencher is publicly calling on Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to step down as party leader as other MPs co-ordinate their efforts to force him out.

Sean Casey, the MP for Charlottetown, told CBC News Network's Power & Politics that Trudeau's leadership has become one of the main topics of conversation when he speaks to voters in his riding.

"The message that I've been getting loud and clear — and more and more strongly as time goes by — is that it is time for [Trudeau] to go. And I agree," he told host David Cochrane in an exclusive interview Tuesday.

"People have had enough. They've tuned him out and they want him to go."

Casey is the first MP to call publicly for Trudeau's resignation since it was reported last week that a growing number of anxious Liberals are working to force the prime minister to step down as Liberal leader.

Disgruntled Liberal MPs held a series of meetings to discuss a path forward for the party following the surprising Toronto-St. Paul's byelection loss in June, multiple sources have told CBC News.

Casey said he was aware of such meetings taking place but hasn't attended any of them. He added that he anticipates efforts to oust Trudeau could come to a head when MPs return to Ottawa next week.

Some MPs are being asked to sign their names to what amounts to a pledge to stand together in calling for Trudeau to resign. All the sources spoke to CBC News on the condition they not be named due to the sensitivity of the internal discussions.

These sources said at least 20 MPs have signed the pledge so far, with others voicing their support for the cause.

Liberal MP publicly urges Trudeau to resign
 
Longtime Liberal backbencher Sean Casey of Charlottetown is the first MP to call publicly for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's resignation since it was reported last week that a growing number of Liberals are working to force the prime minister to step down as leader.

Casey said he hasn't seen such a document himself and has only heard about it "second hand." He did say there is a "high level of anxiety" in the Liberal caucus over Trudeau's leadership.

"I would say it's wider than meets the eye. There are a lot of people who have concerns," he said.

"But those who have come to the same conclusion as me seem to be becoming more emboldened with the passage of time."

Casey isn't the first Liberal MP to call for Trudeau to resign in recent months. New Brunswick MP Wayne Long sent an email to the Liberal caucus in June calling on the prime minister to step aside.

Newfoundland and Labrador MP Ken McDonald also has called for Trudeau to face a leadership review.

Casey says he still plans to run

But Casey said that he — unlike Long and McDonald — plans to run in the next federal election even if Trudeau remains the leader. He cited his opposition to Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre as a motivating factor.

"I have an obligation to the people of Charlottetown to keep Pierre Poilievre out of the prime minister's chair in any way shape or form," he said.

"I'm gearing for the fight. It's a fight worth fighting regardless of whether or not we have Justin Trudeau leading the party."

Casey said he told Trudeau directly during a private phone call in July that he thinks the party needs new leadership.

"The things he's put in place over the past nine years have been truly transformational. But the electorate are no longer listening to him," Casey said he told Trudeau.

Former Trudeau cabinet minister Catherine McKenna also said this past summer that she thinks the party needs a new leader.

The CBC's Poll Tracker suggests the Liberals are trailing the Conservatives by roughly 20 percentage points.

Casey said he thinks a change in leadership could at least reignite interest in the Liberal Party.

"If Justin Trudeau was to leave, there would be risk. If there was a divisive leadership, there would be risk," he said.

"But the upside of having a new leader is significantly higher than if he stays."

Long-time Liberal MP Sean Casey calls for Trudeau to step down | Power & Politics

A day after Casey's call for Trudeau to step down, what do the other 3 Island MPs say?

MacAulay says he stands behind PM, while Morrissey, MacDonald not as forthcoming

A day after Charlottetown Liberal MP Sean Casey publicly called on Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to step down as party leader, CBC News asked the Island's other three Liberal MPs where they stand.

Only Lawrence MacAulay, the veteran MP and cabinet minister from Cardigan, provided a concrete response, saying he continues to support Trudeau's leadership of the Liberal Party of Canada.

"It was under Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's leadership that we lowered the retirement age back to 65 and boosted OAS for seniors 75 and over, made historic investments in our infrastructure and small craft harbours, delivered the Canada Child Benefit and $10-a-day child care, dental care, and pharmacare, and made massive steps forward on the environment," MacAulay said in an email statement.

"These are the things that matter to Islanders, and he has my full support."

Malpeque MP Heath MacDonald declined an interview but staff said his office would issue a statement in support of Casey's position. They later called back to say there would be no statement Wednesday.

There was no response from Egmont MP Bobby Morrissey.

   MP Sean Casey says some Liberals are privately supporting his bid to have Trudeau quit as leader
 
Charlottetown MP Sean Casey says he's getting private support from several members of the federal Liberal caucus a day after he said Prime Minister Justin Trudeau should step down as leader of the Liberal Party of Canada ahead of the next election.

Casey, meanwhile, said his phone has "blown up" with messages of support following his exclusive interview with David Cochrane on CBC's Power & Politics on Tuesday, where he said he agrees with what he is hearing from his constituents that "it is time for [Trudeau] to go."

The feedback that I've received from people in the riding and from people that I know has been overwhelmingly positive and supportive.
— Liberal MP Sean Casey

But there has also been some online "hate," he said in an interview Wednesday afternoon.

"The feedback that I've received from people in the riding and from people that I know has been overwhelmingly positive and supportive. And the feedback that I've received on social media, especially Twitter, is filled with hate."

He said about half a dozen fellow Liberal MPs, including Morrissey and MacDonald, have complimented him for speaking out. 

"The only ones who are reaching out to me, I would say, are those who feel the same way as I do and haven't yet stated so publicly."

  'It's time for him to go': P.E.I. MP Sean Casey urges Justin Trudeau to step down as Liberal leader
 
Charlottetown Liberal MP Sean Casey says Prime Minister Justin Trudeau should step down as leader of the Liberal Party of Canada ahead of the next federal election. During an interview on Power and Politics Tuesday, Casey told CBC's David Cochrane: 'It's time for him to go.'

In an earlier interview Wednesday on CBC-Radio's Island Morning, Casey said people have told him they don't want another four years of Trudeau, but don't like the idea of Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre as prime minister either.

"I knocked on 500 doors this summer, I've knocked on about 4,000 in the last year and a half, and you get on somebody's doorstep and they look you in the eye and they say, 'I'm scared to death of Poilievre, Sean. I want to vote for you, but I just can't' — over and over again."

Liberals down in the polls

The CBC's Poll Tracker suggests the Liberals are trailing the Conservatives by roughly 20 percentage points.

An election must be held by next October, but because the Liberals have a minority government, a non-confidence vote in the House of Commons could trigger one sooner than that.

UPEI political scientist Don Desserud said he expects more Liberal MPs to speak out on Trudeau's leadership as they see the writing on the wall.

They're pretty sure it's not going to turn out OK for the incumbent Liberals, and that's a significant statement to make at this stage.
— Don Desserud

"It's not even, 'Well, you know, maybe it will be all right, maybe things will turn out OK.' They're pretty sure it's not going to turn out OK for the incumbent Liberals, and that's a significant statement to make at this stage."

Casey isn't the first Island politician to call for Trudeau to step down. Percy Downe, an independent member of Canada's Senate with long ties to the Liberals, wrote an opinion piece that was published in National Newswatch a year ago calling for the prime minister to resign as leader of the federal party.

Last month, Downe published a follow-up letter, writing, "The opportunity for Justin to resign was last winter, and that window to give a new leader the opportunity to establish themselves with different policy and budgetary decisions is now past."

'He's a tested product': Island MPs in full support of Mark Carney for Liberal leadership

Former Bank of Canada governor made 2 campaign stops in Charlottetown on Saturday

Mark Carney made a stop in Prince Edward Island on Saturday, backed by all four of the province's members of Parliament who have endorsed him to be the next federal Liberal leader. 

Carney, who's one of six candidates to replace Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, made two campaign stops in Charlottetown.

"There's an energy in the air, obviously there's a great turnout for Mark today," said Malpeque Liberal MP Heath MacDonald during one of Carney's stops. "I think there's wind of change in all of this

"He's only been a candidate for two weeks and he already has a comprehensive policy put together on carbon pricing."

The former Bank of Canada governor used his remarks to reiterate a key plank in his platform that he announced during a visit to Halifax on Friday —  eliminating his party's consumer carbon tax and replacing the policy with an incentive program that rewards Canadians for making green choices.

Carney has said that he is abandoning the carbon tax he once supported. He said that's not because it's ineffective, but because it's become too divisive for Canadians — something that he blamed on Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre.

Cardigan MP Lawrence MacAulay said he endorsed Carney because of his experience shepherding Canada through the 2008-09 economic recession. Carney was later picked to serve as the Bank of England governor during a tumultuous time for the U.K. as it navigated Brexit and the resulting economic fallout.  

"He's a tested product," MacAulay said. "He's a man that's served in North America and England…. They want a steady hand on the purse and on the economy, and that's him.

"He will help us navigate … many of the issues that are on the table, including the tariffs."

During his stops in Charlottetown, Carney also addressed the looming tariffs on Canadian exports to the U.S. proposed by President Donald Trump. 

Carney told the crowd he would put in place "prudent but forceful" dollar-for-dollar retaliation tariffs in place on American imports. 

P.E.I.'s two other Liberal MPs, Egmont's Bobby Morrissey and Sean Casey in Charlottetown, are also backing Carney.

Casey, who was one of the few members of the Liberal caucus to publicly call for Trudeau to resign, said what he's heard from constituents has changed "night and day" from a few months ago. 

"A year ago people were telling me that they were afraid of Pierre Poilievre and what he would do to the country, but they had grown completely tired of Justin Trudeau," Casey said. 

"The message now is, 'I think we can win, I think Carney's the guy.'"

 Feb 6, 2025 
The trend is getting irrefutable — the Liberals have reversed their slide since Justin Trudeau’s resignation. But just how competitive is the race really getting, and how much of it is based on the idea of Mark Carney rather than the reality? 
 
On this week’s episode of The Numbers, we discuss some of the latest federal polling numbers and what they mean. We also discuss the fourth quarter fundraising figures for 2024 and new developments in the Liberal leadership contest. Then, we break down where things stand in the ongoing Ontario election campaign and take a look at some new provincial numbers out of Quebec.

PC MLA Natalie Jameson wins federal Conservative nomination for Charlottetown

Jameson plans to resign her provincial seat, 'within the next couple of days'

Charlottetown PC MLA Natalie Jameson will be the Conservative Party of Canada's candidate for Charlottetown in the next federal election.

Jameson won at the party's nomination at a convention Thursday evening at the Eastlink Centre over local lawyer Catherine Parkman. The party did not release the vote count.

In an interview following her win, Jameson said she plans to start knocking on doors right away. 

The Charlottetown riding has been Liberal for more than four decades but Jameson said she believes change is in the air. 

"There is a desire for change out there," Jameson told reporter following her win.

'Change is already afoot'

"I think the change is already afoot to be honest. I can feel an undercurrent where by we have a lot of folks that would traditionally vote Liberal in the riding who are saying, 'you know, I think this is the year we'll be voting Conservative."

The win will force a provincial byelection  in her district of Charlottetown-Hillsborough Park.

"My intention would be to resign here relatively soon," said Jameson. 

"This undertaking is going to require a tremendous amount of my time and effort so what I'm committed to doing is getting to those doorsteps and really putting my best foot forward to try to win this seat."

When asked what soon means, Jameson said: "It'll be within the next couple of days."

Premier Dennis King will then have six months to call a provincial byelection. 

'Breakdown trade barriers'

Jameson was first elected as an MLA in the Charlottetown-Hillsborough Park deferred election in 2019, and was a cabinet minister in the Dennis King government for the majority of her tenure — including as minister responsible for the status of women, minister of environment and climate change, and minister of education.

During her speech to about 250 party members earlier Thursday, Jameson said it's important that Charlottetown has a seat at the table.

"Our Island is not immune from the threats of unfair tariffs from the U.S.," Jameson said during her speech.

"Over 25 per cent of our GDP is reliant on trade from the United States. In a new Conservative government under Prime Minister Pierre Poilievre we will work to breakdown trade barriers in our own country and strengthen our economic resilience creating new jobs and bigger paychecks right here in Charlottetown."

Another former cabinet minister under provincial Liberal governments, Doug Currie, was expected to run against her and Parkman for the Charlottetown nomination. He was the party's candidate in 2021, but was disallowed by the Conservatives this time around in mid-January after what the party described as "serious misrepresentations and violations" of its rules.

'People before politics'

Charlottetown was the last riding left on P.E.I. for the Conservatives to nominate a candidate in.

Jameson joins fellow Conservative candidates Logan McLellan (Egmont), Jamie Fox (Malpeque) and James Aylward (Cardigan). She is the first woman to win the Charlottetown Conservative nomination since Donna Profit in 2011.

A federal election must be held by October 2025.

Jameson said her years in provincial politics gives her the experience needed to represent the riding in Ottawa.

Liberal Sean Casey now represents the riding of Charlottetown.

"The challenges ahead may be great but our resolve is greater," said Jameson.

"I believe in the strength of this community, in the power of working together and in the progress we can achieve when we put people before politics."

Natalie Jameson's federal bid creates 'huge stake' in upcoming byelection, says P.E.I. political scientist

‘That's maybe the most interesting byelection we've had here in Prince Edward Island’

PC MLA Natalie Jameson secured a federal Conservative nomination, which will soon trigger a byelection in Charlottetown-Hillsborough Park that could have major political implications for P.E.I., says UPEI political science professor Don Desserud.

Jameson won the party's nomination for the Charlottetown riding after stepping down from her cabinet position last fall.

She was first elected as MLA for Charlottetown-Hillsborough Park in a deferred election in 2019 and served in Premier Dennis King's cabinet for most of her tenure.

Jameson held multiple portfolios, including minister responsible for the status of women, minister of environment and climate change, and was most recently minister of education.

At winning the Conservative nomination at a convention Thursday evening, Jameson told CBC that she plans to resign her provincial seat "relatively soon."

Desserud said the upcoming byelection will be a closely watched contest.

"That's maybe the most interesting byelection we've had here in Prince Edward Island in some time. Each party has a huge stake in it," he told CBC's Island Morning.

"If the Green Party wins, they now have four seats [and] that makes them the Official Opposition — huge, huge stake for them. Liberals, of course, don't want to be reduced down to the third party."

Meanwhile, for the governing Progressive Conservatives, Desserud said the upcoming race brings back memories of last year's Borden-Kinkora byelection, where PC candidate Carmen Reeves was defeated by the Greens' Matt MacFarlane. That loss was a setback for the PCs, as District 19 was previously held by the governing PCs.

That byelection was triggered by the resignation of former PC MLA Jamie Fox, who stepped down to run in the federal election. Fox is now the Conservative candidate in Malpeque.

"The PC government, do they want to see two byelections in a row go against them? That's a sign of a problem," Desserud said. "So they're going to be looking at that one really carefully as well."

The outcome of Charlottetown-Hillsborough Park byelection could also influence the leadership decisions of both the Liberal and Green parties, while the PCs are likely already searching for or have already found a candidate to contest the seat, Desserud said.

Byelection timing

P.E.I.'s Election Act requires an election to be called within six months of the seat being vacated. Desserud expects that to happen within three months in Charlottetown-Hillsborough Park.

He said King will need to carefully navigate the timing because the byelection could be influenced by broader federal political dynamics.

On Jan. 6, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced he would be stepping down as Liberal leader, triggering a race to succeed him. The party is set to choose its next leader — and Canada's next prime minister — on March 9.

"Depending on who the leader of the Liberal Party is, depending on what the issues are, that's going to affect what happens in the byelection," Desserud said.

He said King will also need to avoid overlapping with the next federal election, whenever that may be.

"To position that byelection strategically, it might just turn out to be something [like], 'Well, what the heck? Let's just look at when the weather is going to be the nicest and go with that,'" Desserud said. 

"Because that's actually an important factor in election turnout."

Lawyer Catherine Parkman seeking Conservative nomination in Charlottetown

The next federal election must be held by October 2025

Longtime Charlottetown lawyer Catherine Parkman has announced that she is seeking the Conservative nomination to run in the federal riding of Charlottetown.

A federal election must be held by October 2025.

"I think Canadians are frustrated because the legislative trends and policies of the Justin Trudeau Liberal government are not working," Parkman said in a news release. "The Justin Trudeau Liberal government is devoted to a costly and unrealistic agenda which does not meet the needs of a majority of Canadians."

Parkman went to Charlottetown Rural High School, the University of Prince Edward Island and the University of New Brunswick before beginning to practise law. 

She and her husband Doug Hughes have two adult children. 

The news release said she has volunteered with the Sherwood-Parkdale Rangers Soccer Club, as well as various ringette associations. "She has also supported 60 Confederation Air Cadet Squadron, was a member of two Law Society Committees, and a volunteer member of a local research board for seven years."

Doug Currie, a former P.E.I. Liberal MLA and cabinet minister, said in July that he too is seeking the Conservative nomination in Charlottetown for a second try at the seat. 

Currie lost to 13-year incumbent Liberal MP Sean Casey in the 2021 federal election.

Federal Conservatives say they won't let Doug Currie run again in Charlottetown

Party cites 'inappropriate behaviour' and 'offensive text messages;' Currie says he will appeal

Conservative Party says it won’t let Doug Currie run for Charlottetown nomination
 
The Conservative Party of Canada says it will not allow Doug Curie to seek its party’s nomination in Charlottetown. The decision has left Currie — a well known former provincial cabinet minister — “surprised and disappointed.” CBC’s Wayne Thibodeau reports.

The Conservative Party of Canada says it will not allow former P.E.I. cabinet minister Doug Currie to run for the party's nomination in Charlottetown, citing what the party calls "serious misrepresentations and violations" of its rules.

In an emailed statement to CBC News on Friday, the CPC said Currie had provided "contradictory answers" on his nomination application, that it had found "troubling evidence of inappropriate behaviour," and that Currie did not disclose an ongoing lawsuit.

That lawsuit, filed in P.E.I. Supreme Court, was brought against Currie by a woman with whom he was previously in a relationship and seeks a share of proceeds from the potential sale of a property in Stanhope.

The Conservative Party also said it found "offensive text messages and inappropriate interactions with people in the community," and said when given a chance to address the matter privately, Currie "neither denied these issues nor provided satisfactory responses."

CBC News has not independently verified the claims made by the Conservatives. The party did not provide details or further information regarding the accusations.

When contacted by CBC News Friday, Currie said he'd been advised by the party two days before that "my nomination was disallowed without any evidence or explanation."

He said the first explanation he received for why he was disqualified was when CBC shared details with him from the statement received by the party.

He said he has appealed the party's decision, and is "disappointed that comments were made before the appeal was heard."

Ultimately the party is able to decide who can represent it in the riding, no matter what might be the outcome of any appeal.

Currie did not agree to a request for an interview.

Retired to focus on nomination

"My intention is to let the appeal process play out according to their rules for nominations and candidates.
— Doug Currie

Currie was a Liberal provincial cabinet minister for a decade, but switched over to the federal Conservatives to run as the party's candidate in Charlottetown in 2021.

Last month he announced he was retiring from his position as vice president of corporate and strategic development at Holland College in order to "focus full-time" on seeking the Conservative nomination.

The party has selected its candidates in the other three ridings in P.E.I. but still has not announced a date for the Charlottetown nomination meeting. The deadline for candidates to sell party memberships fell a week ago.

Besides Currie there are two other candidates in the race: current provincial MLA and former PC cabinet minister Natalie Jameson, as well as local lawyer Catherine Parkman

Both major federal parties have committed to reducing Confederation Bridge tolls, Lantz says

No details yet on timelines or implementation, P.E.I. Premier Rob Lantz says

P.E.I. Premier Rob Lantz says both major federal parties have now committed to reducing or eliminating tolls on the Confederation Bridge.

On Monday morning, Lantz posted on social media that he had received a letter from Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre stating that, if elected, his party would remove the tolls on the bridge between New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island.

Lantz said Poilievre also pledged to conduct a review of the federal government's support for Northumberland Ferries, which uses federally owned boats to offer seasonal transportation between eastern P.E.I. and northern Nova Scotia.

Within hours, the party's deputy leader Melissa Lantsman made that the first P.E.I. announcement of the election campaign.

Late Friday evening, after meeting with top government officials in Ottawa, Lantz said Liberal Leader Mark Carney had given a verbal commitment that Islanders would soon hear "positive news" about bridge tolls and ferry rates.

Lantz said the province's stance has been clear for years: P.E.I. wants to see tolls on both the Confederation Bridge and Wood Islands ferry eliminated.

"It's satisfying that our federal parties are finally recognizing the unfairness of P.E.I.'s bridge and ferry tolls and the competitive disadvantage they place on our province in a connected, trade-dependent economy," Lantz wrote on social media Monday.

"Under the threat of tariffs, it's time to remove barriers to trade."

Canadians will be heading to the polls on April 28, and the country's main federal leaders are kicking off their election campaigns.

The election comes a heated trade dispute is being waged between Canada and the U.S., fuelling discussions about reducing reliance on American trade. Many politicians and business leaders have called for stronger internal trade and the removal of interprovincial trade barriers — including eliminating tolls on the Confederation Bridge and Northumberland Ferries.

No details yet on federal commitments

Before receiving Poilievre's letter, Lantz had told CBC's Island Morning on Monday that no specifics had been provided regarding Carney's pledge.

Carney has said he and Canada's premiers have agreed to develop a national trade strategy and that if re-elected, his government intends to achieve free trade across the country by Canada Day.

Lantz said it's unclear whether that would include eliminating bridge tolls and ferry fares by July 1.

"It remains to be seen. It sounds like this commitment is probably a campaign commitment," Lantz told Island Morning.

"We hope that people live up to the commitments they make. This is politics, so I'll keep the pressure on and make sure that people follow through with what they've promised," the premier said.

Bridge tolls 'not fair'

The P.E.I. government has been arguing for some time that charging Island citizens and businesses to cross to the mainland by bridge or car-passenger ferry is unfair, especially since the Confederation Bridge that joins P.E.I. and New Brunswick is considered a continuation of the TransCanada Highway.

The round-trip toll for a standard two-axle vehicle to cross the Confederation Bridge is $50.25. For the ferry service, the round-trip fare is $86 for passenger vehicles up to 20 feet in length and 7 feet in height.

"I've done a lot of work on this, and the Confederation Bridge, as an absolute toll or as a per-kilometre toll, is one of the highest on the continent," the premier said. "It's not fair."

The devil is in the details, says senator

News of the federal government's commitment is being welcomed by P.E.I. Senator Percy Downe, who has been advocating for toll elimination for more than a decade.

"It looks like we're finally getting the results that we all want," Downe told CBC. "I think with the prime minister — and I suspect the Leader of the Opposition will both give their word — the promise will be kept."

Percy Downe in the Senate. Senator Percy Downe says with both Carney and Poilievre giving their word, the promise to eliminate bridge tolls will be kept, similar to what happened with the Champlain Bridge in Montreal. (Senate of Canada)

Downe pointed to the Champlain Bridge in Montreal as an example, noting that in 2015, then-Liberal leader Justin Trudeau campaigned on a promise to remove tolls from that bridge. When the replacement Samuel De Champlain Bridge opened, tolls were indeed eliminated.

"I think the same thing will happen here," the P.E.I. senator said.

"The importance, of course, is that we also have to have tolls reduced on the Wood Islands ferry, given the importance of that to eastern P.E.I. and the economy of the region, so we need to see the details of what's being proposed."

P.E.I.'s response to U.S. tariffs is missing key elements, says Opposition

Province announced a number of measures Tuesday after trade war launched by U.S.

Opposition party politicians on P.E.I. say the provincial government's response to the 25 per cent tariffs on virtually all Canadian goods imported into the United States lacks urgency and substance. 

On Tuesday, the Progressive Conservative government pulled all American alcohol from its liquor store shelves and outlined the first phase of its plan to combat the U.S. trade war. It lays out a number of measures to support businesses and explore new trading opportunities in the hope of providing relief to those who will be hurt. 

But the opposition expected more. 

"The response is not just weak, it's negligent," said Hal Perry, the interim leader of the provincial Liberals. "Islanders deserve transparency and not just vague promises from this government. So I really believe that this government is taking their eye off the ball." 

Perry pointed out that the discussions around the potential impacts of these tariffs have been taking place for months — starting under the leadership of former premier Dennis King, who resigned on Feb. 20. In fact, this isn't the first time the province has removed U.S booze in retaliation. 

Perry said he was expecting a more detailed plan this time around, under Premier Rob Lantz.

"I would like to see a contingency plan put in place, allocating a specific amount of dollars put aside," he said. 

"They had the time to put a solid plan in place to react with these tariffs, so Islanders would have some security knowing ... the government of this Island had their back. And I didn't get that from their message."

'Money in people's pockets'

Green Party MLA Matt MacFarlane said he understands the benefits of doubling the number of trade missions to find new markets — one of the measures Lantz announced on Tuesday. But he would like to see more immediate help for those who'll need it. 

"Those trips don't result in immediate money in the pockets of the people who are going to be impacted by these tariffs," he said.

"Let's hope they bear fruit down the down the road. But in the meantime, we need to come back to look at who is going to be affected right here on the ground in the coming days."

MacFarlane is calling for more measures to be announced. For example, he would like to see support for workers whose jobs could be at risk because of the tariffs, and financial relief such as tax breaks on essential products.

"This is not going to take a long time before people really see what materializes in their bank accounts here in P.E.I," he said. 

Although MacFarlane said he too was expecting this plan would include more "concrete tangible initiatives," he acknowledged there are a lot of moving parts to this issue. Still, he is hoping to see a fully formulated plan when the legislature resumes on March 25. 

"What I want to see is a plan that results in support for the people who are going to need it," said MacFarlane.

"We need to get money in people's pockets who need it, who are going to be paying the price for something they did not ask for and is beyond their control and could have a serious impact on their bottom lines."

Malpeque MP raises P.E.I. concerns in Washington amid tariff threats

‘We're making some inroads, but it's still a long way to go,’ Heath MacDonald says

Malpeque MP Heath MacDonald recently took P.E.I.'s concerns to U.S. politicians as Donald Trump's tariff threats loom.

He was part of a group of Canadian MPs who travelled to Washington, D.C., on an official trip to advocate for Atlantic Canada's interests with American politicians and business leaders.

MacDonald met with two U.S. senators and one congressman during the trip. He said he noticed a divide in their views on tariffs — while the two senators opposed them, the congressman, who's from Maine, was in favour.

"The conversation was, you know, very blunt on our behalf. I mean, that's why we're there, to put all the cards on the table, but to hear the responses was very interesting," the Malpeque MP told CBC's Island Morning.

'Buyer's remorse'

After those discussions, MacDonald said he sensed some "buyer's remorse" from the congressman's office, given Maine's strong economic ties with Canada, particularly in the fishery industry.

MacDonald pointed out while Maine has about 15 seafood processing plants, Canada has close to 250. Much of Maine's lobster is processed in Canada before being sent back to the U.S.

"There's a concern that these tariffs are going to put exponential costs on obviously that product," he said. "So there's a little bit of buyer's remorse, so I think we're making some inroads, but it's still a long way to go," he said.

In addition to meeting with politicians, MacDonald also spoke with the Washington-based National Potato Council to highlight P.E.I.'s concerns.

Speaking with lawmakers is just one part of the strategy, he said. The key is ensuring their constituents and industries understand how tariffs will affect them.

"You can talk to senators and congressmen, legislators all day long, and it doesn't necessarily hurt them quite as much, but as soon as you start hurting their constituents, that's where we have to go, and I think that's the level that we need to capitalize on," he said.

"It's important to get to the grassroots."

When Canada could have an election

U.S. relationship likely top of mind for voters this federal election, poll analyst says

CBC Poll Tracker suggests tight race between Liberals, Conservatives

Liberals and Conservatives are running neck-in-neck to win the federal election April 28, says a poll analyst, who has identified three potentially close races in New Brunswick. 

Éric Grenier, who covers Canadian elections, politics and polls on TheWrit.ca, pointed to Miramichi-Grand Lake, Fredericton-Oromocto and Saint John-Kennebecasis as ridings where the campaign could be tight.

And while housing and health care are still important to voters, Grenier believes those issues could be overshadowed by the likely major issue of the campaign — the tariff threats and threats on Canadian sovereignty by U.S. President Donald Trump.

With New Brunswick bordering the state of Maine, Grenier said he thinks that will put this issue top of mind for the province's voters.

According to the CBC Poll Tracker, the polls suggest a significant lead in Atlantic Canada for the Liberals, at around 50 per cent. 

As of Sunday, when the election was called, the CBC Poll Tracker suggested a narrow lead nationally for the Liberals, with support from 37.5 per cent of those polled, over the Conservatives, with about 37.1 per cent.

"As we've seen in past elections, the two most recent ones for example, the votes and the seats don't always line up,"  Grenier said in an interview with CBC News on Monday.

"So despite the fact that we are looking at this pretty much tied race across the country, the Liberals are still the favourites to win the most seats."

The CBC Poll Tracker includes every poll that is being published right now, Grenier said. The tracker is an accumulation of all polls, including those from pollsters, such as Abacus, Leger and Ipsos, among others.

The shift in the polls since Justin Trudeau's resignation as prime minister has been remarkable, Grenier said, and probably one of the biggest shifts in Canadian history. 

"We're looking at this enormous swing that has transformed the landscape from an inevitable Pierre Poilievre Conservative big majority government to now, what is essentially a toss-up race, where it's really either Mark Carney or Pierre Poilievre's election to lose," he said.

"It's just an incredible amount of change that we just normally do not see in Canadian politics."

Local candidates may matter in close N.B. ridings

Grenier said it's hard to predict where things will stand in the next five weeks, but if the election were held today, his personal projection would award the Liberals six seats in New Brunswick and the Conservatives four — the same outcome as the last election. 

Nationally, Grenier said, voter perceptions of the parties and party leaders are the most important factors in the outcome of elections, and the importance of local candidates will differ from riding to riding. 

While the name on the ballot may not be a decisive factor, it could make the difference in particularly close ridings. 

"I think that is all the more the case in New Brunswick and other areas of Atlantic Canada, where the attachment to that local candidate usually and traditionally has been a lot stronger than we see in other parts of Canada," said Grenier.

As a federal election looms, P.E.I. candidates say they're already campaigning

Conservatives, Liberals, NDP each have a full slate of candidates on P.E.I.

With a federal election widely expected to be called at some point this week, candidates on Prince Edward Island are busy getting ready.

Mark Carney was sworn in as Canada's prime minister less than a week ago, but he's an unelected leader without a seat in the House of Commons.  

Since his victory in the Liberal leadership race to replace Justin Trudeau, many senior elected officials have said Canadians need a government with a strong mandate to lead the country and stare down the economic threats from U.S. President Donald Trump.

Speculation is building that Carney will trigger an election campaign within days. 

On the Island, James Aylward spent Tuesday delivering campaign yard signs to supporters in anticipation of the call coming soon. 

The former MLA and provincial cabinet minister won the Conservative Party of Canada's nomination for the eastern P.E.I. riding of Cardigan last July.

"I think we're very ready. We've been knocking on doors now for quite some time. I've certainly talked to a lot of individuals all across Cardigan," he said. 

Up until this month, Aylward thought he would be going up against the Liberal incumbent, Lawrence MacAulay, but then the longtime federal cabinet minister announced he won't seek re-election after 11 straight wins in the riding. 

Instead, the Liberal nominee will be Kent MacDonald, a seventh-generation dairy farmer from Little Pond who announced on Tuesday that he had been acclaimed to represent the party.

The field in Cardigan so far also includes the NDP candidate, Lynn Thiele, and the People's Party of Canada's Lauchlan Taylor. 

With MacAulay now out of the race, Aylward said his campaign strategy won't change. 

"I was elected [provincially] three times here in Stratford and… my mantra, how I present myself, has always been the same," he said. "You need to get to the doors, you need to talk to people — but more importantly you need to listen."

A federal election call could be coming any day now, and political parties across Prince Edward Island are getting ready. CBC's Wayne Thibodeau spoke with political parties on the Island about their election readiness.

'We've been ready for a while' 

In the riding of Charlottetown, Sean Casey and his team were busy putting the final touches on his campaign headquarters Tuesday. 

This will be the Liberal MP's fifth federal election campaign, and Casey said he's ready to go.

"Absolutely, we've been ready for a while," he said. "I'm out on doors between elections anyway, but my door-to-door has intensified in the last several weeks." 

Also battling for votes in the Charlottetown riding will be another former provincial cabinet minister for the Conservatives, Natalie Jameson; the NDP's Joe Byrne; and People's Party of Canada candidate Bob Lucas.

Casey said his party has been bolstered by a dramatic turnaround in some national polls that now show the Conservatives and Liberals neck-and-neck, after months of double-digit leads for Pierre Poilievre's party. 

"There is absolutely a huge jump in our step, there's wind at our back," Casey said. "What I'm getting [at] the doors in the last several weeks is a reception that's actually more favourable than it was in the last election."

The Conservatives, Liberals and NDP now each have a full slate of candidates across the Island.

The NDP candidate for western P.E.I.'s Egmont riding, Carol Rybinski, clinched the nomination more than a year ago.

She'll be up against Liberal incumbent Bobby Morrissey and the Conservatives' Logan McLellan. 

"I feel really good about being prepared," Rybinski said. 

"I have my official agent, I have all my signatures, I have a fantastic sign crew ready for me to get out there and stick signs in the ground. I have buddies who are going to be canvassing with me; we've already started."

Officials with the Green Party said in an email to CBC News that they have candidates set to go in three of the four P.E.I. ridings, and they'll announce the names either later this week or early next week.

So far, the central riding of Malpeque will be a contest among Liberal incumbent Heath MacDonald, Conservative candidate Jamie Fox — who's also a former P.E.I. cabinet minister — and the NDP's Cassie MacKay. 

As of Tuesday, no political party has nominated candidates in all 343 ridings across the country. At this point, the Liberals have the fewest nominated candidates.

Kent MacDonald acclaimed as federal Liberal candidate in P.E.I.'s Cardigan riding

Lawrence MacAulay, who isn't running again, had held Cardigan for the past 36 years

For the first time in nearly 40 years, the federal Liberals have a new candidate in eastern P.E.I.'s Cardigan riding.

Kent MacDonald, a seventh-generation dairy farmer from Little Pond, was acclaimed as the party's candidate for the riding this week. 

"The Liberal party's platform is what I believe in," MacDonald is quoted as saying in a news release. 

"The federal Liberals have put millions into our communities through school lunch programs, health care for Island seniors, and low-interest loans for housing. This is supporting families and working people." 

MacDonald will look to hold the seat for the Liberals after Lawrence MacAulay announced he would not seek re-election after a 36-year political career and 11 straight election wins in Cardigan. 

MacDonald is a past director, vice-chair and chair of Dairy Farmers of P.E.I., and was a director and vice-chair of the P.E.I. Federation of Agriculture.  

He is the current president of Pondsedge Farms, his family's dairy and beef operation. 

The race to succeed MacAulay as Cardigan's MP also includes Conservative nominee James Aylward, a former MLA and provincial cabinet minister; and former educator Lynn Thiele, who's running for the NDP. Lauchlan Taylor is the candidate for the People's Party of Canada. 

On Tuesday, the Green Party of Canada told CBC News that it has candidates for three of the four federal ridings on P.E.I. and intends to announce their names "later this week or at the beginning of next week."

The next federal election is supposed to be held on Oct. 20 under Canada's fixed election date system.

However, it is widely expected to be triggered this spring — by the minority Liberal government under new Prime Minister Mark Carney calling a snap general election, or by the opposition parties voting against a motion on a supply bill or a specific motion of no confidence.

Lynne Thiele gets NDP nomination in P.E.I.'s Cardigan riding

Stratford resident is active in social issues and runs a volunteer reading program

A former educator will look to represent the New Democratic Party in eastern P.E.I. when the next federal election is called. 

Lynne Thiele of Stratford was nominated as the party's candidate in the Cardigan riding during a meeting held Friday. 

A news release says Thiele is active in social issues and runs a volunteer reading program. 

"It's a privilege to have the New Democrats of Cardigan put their trust in me," Thiele is quoted as saying in the release.

"Every day, people have to make tough choices because we're paying more and getting less. Folks are working hard and still can't [get] ahead — and it's not their fault." 

Thiele ran unsuccessfully with the NDP for a provincial seat twice previously, and also represented the party in Cardigan for the 2019 and 2021 federal elections. 

The Conservative Party of Canada has selected former provincial cabinet minister James Aylward to run in Cardigan. Liberal Lawrence MacAulay has held the seat since 1988. 

A federal election must be held by October 2025.

Bob Lucas to run for People's Party of Canada in Charlottetown riding

Meet-and-greet to kick off Lucas’s campaign will be held on Saturday

Charlottetown residents will have a new candidate to consider in the next federal election after the People's Party of Canada introduced Bob Lucas as its representative for the riding.

Lucas is launching his campaign with a public meet-and-greet on Saturday from 1 to 3:30 p.m. at the Malcolm J. Darrach Community Centre in Charlottetown, according to a party news release.

"I'm running because I believe Charlottetown deserves a voice that stands firm on principles of individual freedom, personal responsibility, fairness, and respect for all Canadians," Lucas was quoted as saying in the release.

The PPC was founded in 2018 by former Conservative MP Maxime Bernier. The party describes itself as populist, bringing together popular ideas, classical conservative values, and libertarian principles, according to its website.

Lucas has pointed to issues like affordability, economic growth and protecting P.E.I.'s unique way of life as key priorities in his campaign, the release said.

The riding is currently held by Liberal MP Sean Casey, who has represented Charlottetown since 2011.

Former PC MLA Natalie Jameson has also entered the race. She recently won the Conservative Party of Canada's nomination for the riding in the next federal election.

That election will be held on Oct. 20 under Canada's fixed election date system unless it is triggered earlier — by the minority Liberal government calling a snap general election or the opposition parties voting against a motion on a supply bill or a specific motion of no confidence.

Logan McLellan picked to represent Conservatives in western P.E.I. for next federal election

Summerside resident also ran for the party in Egmont back in 2019

Logan McLellan will represent the Conservative Party in the western P.E.I. riding of Egmont in the next federal election. 

The entrepreneur and financial adviser defeated Adam Bassett, an education specialist with Health P.E.I., for the party nomination after two days of voting last week. 

"I am incredibly grateful for the overwhelming support we received during this nomination process. Our campaign team signed up more memberships than any campaign in the history of our riding for our party — absolutely unbelievable," McLellan wrote in a social media post after he was declared the winner. 

McLellan, who's from Summerside, was also the Conservative candidate in 2019. He lost to the incumbent Liberal MP, Bobby Morrissey, by about 1,100 votes.

McLellan joins former provincial cabinet minister James Aylward, who won the Conservatives' nomination in Cardigan earlier this year, and Jamie Fox, who is the party's candidate in Malpeque. 

Egmont is the only riding in which Islanders have elected a Conservative candidate since 1988. That was Gail Shea, who was MP from 2008 to 2015. 

A federal election must be held by October 2025.

PC MLA Natalie Jameson wins federal Conservative nomination for Charlottetown

Jameson plans to resign her provincial seat, 'within the next couple of days'

Latest

  • Natalie Jameson resigned as an MLA, effective Feb. 11.

Charlottetown PC MLA Natalie Jameson will be the Conservative Party of Canada's candidate for Charlottetown in the next federal election.

Jameson won at the party's nomination at a convention Thursday evening at the Eastlink Centre over local lawyer Catherine Parkman. The party did not release the vote count.

In an interview following her win, Jameson said she plans to start knocking on doors right away. 

The Charlottetown riding has been Liberal for more than four decades but Jameson said she believes change is in the air. 

"There is a desire for change out there," Jameson told reporter following her win.

'Change is already afoot'

"I think the change is already afoot to be honest. I can feel an undercurrent where by we have a lot of folks that would traditionally vote Liberal in the riding who are saying, 'you know, I think this is the year we'll be voting Conservative."

The win will force a provincial byelection  in her district of Charlottetown-Hillsborough Park.

"My intention would be to resign here relatively soon," said Jameson. 

"This undertaking is going to require a tremendous amount of my time and effort so what I'm committed to doing is getting to those doorsteps and really putting my best foot forward to try to win this seat."

When asked what soon means, Jameson said: "It'll be within the next couple of days."

Premier Dennis King will then have six months to call a provincial byelection. 

'Breakdown trade barriers'

Jameson was first elected as an MLA in the Charlottetown-Hillsborough Park deferred election in 2019, and was a cabinet minister in the Dennis King government for the majority of her tenure — including as minister responsible for the status of women, minister of environment and climate change, and minister of education.

During her speech to about 250 party members earlier Thursday, Jameson said it's important that Charlottetown has a seat at the table.

"Our Island is not immune from the threats of unfair tariffs from the U.S.," Jameson said during her speech.

"Over 25 per cent of our GDP is reliant on trade from the United States. In a new Conservative government under Prime Minister Pierre Poilievre we will work to breakdown trade barriers in our own country and strengthen our economic resilience creating new jobs and bigger paychecks right here in Charlottetown."

Another former cabinet minister under provincial Liberal governments, Doug Currie, was expected to run against her and Parkman for the Charlottetown nomination. He was the party's candidate in 2021, but was disallowed by the Conservatives this time around in mid-January after what the party described as "serious misrepresentations and violations" of its rules.

'People before politics'

Charlottetown was the last riding left on P.E.I. for the Conservatives to nominate a candidate in.

Jameson joins fellow Conservative candidates Logan McLellan (Egmont), Jamie Fox (Malpeque) and James Aylward (Cardigan). She is the first woman to win the Charlottetown Conservative nomination since Donna Profit in 2011.

A federal election must be held by October 2025.

Jameson said her years in provincial politics gives her the experience needed to represent the riding in Ottawa.

Liberal Sean Casey now represents the riding of Charlottetown.

"The challenges ahead may be great but our resolve is greater," said Jameson.

"I believe in the strength of this community, in the power of working together and in the progress we can achieve when we put people before politics."

Natalie Jameson's federal bid creates 'huge stake' in upcoming byelection, says P.E.I. political scientist

‘That's maybe the most interesting byelection we've had here in Prince Edward Island’

PC MLA Natalie Jameson secured a federal Conservative nomination, which will soon trigger a byelection in Charlottetown-Hillsborough Park that could have major political implications for P.E.I., says UPEI political science professor Don Desserud.

Jameson won the party's nomination for the Charlottetown riding after stepping down from her cabinet position last fall.

She was first elected as MLA for Charlottetown-Hillsborough Park in a deferred election in 2019 and served in Premier Dennis King's cabinet for most of her tenure.

Jameson held multiple portfolios, including minister responsible for the status of women, minister of environment and climate change, and was most recently minister of education.

At winning the Conservative nomination at a convention Thursday evening, Jameson told CBC that she plans to resign her provincial seat "relatively soon."

Desserud said the upcoming byelection will be a closely watched contest.

"That's maybe the most interesting byelection we've had here in Prince Edward Island in some time. Each party has a huge stake in it," he told CBC's Island Morning.

"If the Green Party wins, they now have four seats [and] that makes them the Official Opposition — huge, huge stake for them. Liberals, of course, don't want to be reduced down to the third party."

Meanwhile, for the governing Progressive Conservatives, Desserud said the upcoming race brings back memories of last year's Borden-Kinkora byelection, where PC candidate Carmen Reeves was defeated by the Greens' Matt MacFarlane. That loss was a setback for the PCs, as District 19 was previously held by the governing PCs.

That byelection was triggered by the resignation of former PC MLA Jamie Fox, who stepped down to run in the federal election. Fox is now the Conservative candidate in Malpeque.

"The PC government, do they want to see two byelections in a row go against them? That's a sign of a problem," Desserud said. "So they're going to be looking at that one really carefully as well."

The outcome of Charlottetown-Hillsborough Park byelection could also influence the leadership decisions of both the Liberal and Green parties, while the PCs are likely already searching for or have already found a candidate to contest the seat, Desserud said.

Byelection timing

P.E.I.'s Election Act requires an election to be called within six months of the seat being vacated. Desserud expects that to happen within three months in Charlottetown-Hillsborough Park.

He said King will need to carefully navigate the timing because the byelection could be influenced by broader federal political dynamics.

On Jan. 6, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced he would be stepping down as Liberal leader, triggering a race to succeed him. The party is set to choose its next leader — and Canada's next prime minister — on March 9.

"Depending on who the leader of the Liberal Party is, depending on what the issues are, that's going to affect what happens in the byelection," Desserud said.

He said King will also need to avoid overlapping with the next federal election, whenever that may be.

"To position that byelection strategically, it might just turn out to be something [like], 'Well, what the heck? Let's just look at when the weather is going to be the nicest and go with that,'" Desserud said. 

"Because that's actually an important factor in election turnout."

Lawyer Catherine Parkman seeking Conservative nomination in Charlottetown

The next federal election must be held by October 2025

Longtime Charlottetown lawyer Catherine Parkman has announced that she is seeking the Conservative nomination to run in the federal riding of Charlottetown.

A federal election must be held by October 2025.

"I think Canadians are frustrated because the legislative trends and policies of the Justin Trudeau Liberal government are not working," Parkman said in a news release. "The Justin Trudeau Liberal government is devoted to a costly and unrealistic agenda which does not meet the needs of a majority of Canadians."

Parkman went to Charlottetown Rural High School, the University of Prince Edward Island and the University of New Brunswick before beginning to practise law. 

She and her husband Doug Hughes have two adult children. 

The news release said she has volunteered with the Sherwood-Parkdale Rangers Soccer Club, as well as various ringette associations. "She has also supported 60 Confederation Air Cadet Squadron, was a member of two Law Society Committees, and a volunteer member of a local research board for seven years."

Doug Currie, a former P.E.I. Liberal MLA and cabinet minister, said in July that he too is seeking the Conservative nomination in Charlottetown for a second try at the seat. 

Currie lost to 13-year incumbent Liberal MP Sean Casey in the 2021 federal election.

Mom of 2, Conservative Party of Canada’s Candidate for Charlottetown, Former Minister of Education, Early Years, Environment, Status of Women and Charlottetown

🚨 HISTORIC ANNOUNCEMENT FOR ISLANDERS 🚨
A Conservative Government led by Pierre Poilievre will completely eliminate the bridge tolls—ending the unfair cost for Islanders who need to travel off the Island!
I was proud to stand alongside Deputy Leader Melissa Lantsman and my fellow Conservative candidates for PEI—Jamie Fox, Logan McLellan, and James Aylward—to deliver this game-changing commitment.
I’ve been pushing to eliminate bridge tolls for months—advocating in the Provincial Legislature, during my nomination campaign, and alongside my fellow candidates. We are listening to Islanders and taking action.
✅ No more tolls on the Confederation Bridge
✅ A review of the Wood Islands-Caribou Ferry to guarantee reliable service
✅ Real relief for families, farmers, and fishers
It’s time to make life more affordable, break down trade barriers, and put Canada First.
We must tear down barriers between provinces and territories—especially as President Trump threatens Canada with unfair tariffs. The best way to fight back? Unleash Canadian trade. PEI businesses, farmers, fishers, and workers deserve the freedom to move and sell their goods across the country.
Together, we’re delivering real results and building a stronger future for Prince Edward Island.

PC MLA Jamie Fox resigning from P.E.I. legislature, intends to run federally

Party confirms Fox is official candidate representing federal Conservatives in Malpeque

Progressive Conservative Jamie Fox is resigning as the MLA for Borden-Kinkora, the P.E.I. electoral district he has represented since 2015.

He announced his decision at the P.E.I. Legislative Assembly Friday afternoon, saying the resignation will be effective after Remembrance Day ceremonies in his district.

"It is a privilege being elected to this chamber three times, and having the opportunity to work with each and every one of you," Fox told the legislature. "I'm accepting a new chapter as the first declared candidate for the Conservative Party of Canada in Atlantic Canada, in the electoral district of Malpeque."

The next federal election must take place on or before Oct. 20, 2025. 

After Fox's announcement, Premier Dennis King stood in the legislature to thank him for his service.

"I'm sad to lose him as a colleague," said King. "I'm excited that he is taking on a new, challenging endeavour in a time when we need people to put their names on the ballot, to put their hat in the ring, to try to aspire to greater things for the citizens we serve."

Fox was a gas station owner and the former Borden-Carleton police chief when he won his provincial seat in 2015. Shortly afterward, he was named the interim leader of the P.E.I. Progressive Conservative Party and held that role while the party was the Official Opposition from 2015 to 2017.

When he was re-elected provincially in 2019, it was as a member of Premier Dennis King's government. King made him minister of fisheries and communities.

Fox won his district for a third time in the general election earlier this year, but when King announced his new cabinet, the Borden-Kinkora MLA was not included.

The Conservative Party of Canada confirmed Friday that Fox is indeed the official candidate for the federal riding of Malpeque — a central P.E.I. jurisdiction that makes up all the areas and communities between Summerside and Charlottetown.

"Jamie is ready to fight for the people of P.E.I. and bring home lower prices and powerful paycheques," a news release from the party said. "Jamie Fox will be a tremendous asset to the team and a strong advocate for the people of Malpeque."

In the last federal election in 2021, Jody Sanderson was the Conservative candidate for Malpeque. With 4,832 votes, Sanderson placed second to current Liberal MP Heath MacDonald, who earned 5,832 votes.

James Aylward picked to run for Conservatives in Cardigan, as former candidate questions process

Nomination process was unfair, says 2-time former candidate Wayne Phelan

James Aylward has won the nomination for the Conservative Party of Canada in the eastern P.E.I. riding of Cardigan, but not without controversy.

Aylward, a former provincial cabinet minister and former leader of the province's Progressive Conservatives, was nominated at a meeting held Tuesday afternoon in Vernon River.

"People are looking for change. People are looking for fresh ideas and reinvigoration," he said.

"It's no secret if you're looking at the polling numbers, all across Canada, that the Conservative Party led by Mr. [Pierre] Poilievre is going to form government. Whether it's a majority, that will be up to the voters."

Aylward left politics two years ago, but said he returned because he felt he still had more to offer.

There were three other candidates for the nomination: Darryl Berger, Peter MacKenzie and Jeff MacNeill. Billy Cann had said he would seek the nomination as well, but was not on the ballot Tuesday.

Not on the list of candidates was Wayne Phelan, who ran for the Conservatives in Cardigan in the last two federal election campaigns, but that was not because he didn't put his name forward.

"My paperwork was refused by the Conservative Party about 10 minutes before the deadline. No idea why. Their policy is that they don't have to give you a reason," Phelan told CBC News, minutes before the nomination meeting began.

Phelan complained the process was rushed and unfair.

People had been told the nomination meeting would not be held until the fall or later, he said. But shortly after midnight on Sunday, the Conservative Party's national office, which sets the timing of nominations, sent out an email announcing the meeting would be Tuesday afternoon.

Phelan believes the party wanted a particular candidate — he would not say who — and said it was unfortunate they didn't tell him that before he wasted time and money on a nomination campaign.

"The only way Mr. Poilievre is going to lose the election is if this BS continues across the country," he said.

"It's that simple. We need change, people want change, but why change to somebody who can't even have a fair nomination?"

Phelan has no hard feelings toward the other candidates, he said, and he went to the meeting to show his support.

About 80 people sit on chairs in a church hall building.

(Wayne Thibodeau/CBC)

While the Conservatives are polling strongly nationally, Aylward faces a hard fight in Cardigan.

Liberal Lawrence MacAulay has held the Cardigan seat since 1988. He has won 11 straight elections, including the two contests in 2019 and 2021 that involved Phelan as his closest runner-up.

A federal election must be held by October 2025.

>> Ceremonial duties
>>
>> The Director of Security for the Legislative Assembly also holds the

>> parliamentary tradition. It began in the early years of the British
>> Parliament, when mace-bearing members of the Royal bodyguard were
>> assigned to attend the Speaker at sittings of the House of Commons in

>>
>> The Sergeant-At-Arms still carries a mace into the Assembly today,

>> Besides bearing the Mace during the daily procession into the House,

>> the Legislative Assembly to provide a safe and secure environment for
>> MLAs and Assembly staff to perform their work duties.
>>
>> During a sitting, the Sergeant-At-Arms has the assistance of an
>> eight-member Legislative Assembly Security Force in the delivery of
>> security services to the Legislative Assembly, located in the Hon.
>> George Coles Building, J. Angus MacLean Building, and at 197 Richmond

>> David Raymond Amos Versus The Crown T-1557-15
>>
>>
>>
>>                      Court File No. T-1557-15
>>
>> FEDERAL COURT
>>
>> BETWEEN:
>> DAVID RAYMOND AMOS
>>
>>                           Plaintiff
>> and
>>
>> HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN
>>
>>                           Defendant
>>
>> STATEMENT OF CLAIM
>>
>> The Parties
>>
>> 1.      HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN (Crown) is Elizabeth II, the Queen of
>> England, the Protector of the Faith of the Church of England, the
>> longest reigning monarch of the United Kingdom and one of the
>> wealthiest persons in the world. Canada pays homage to the Queen
>> because she remained the Head of State and the Chief Executive Officer
>> of Canada after the Canada Act 1982 (U.K.) 1982, c. 11 came into force
>> on April 17, 1982. The standing of the Queen in Canada was explained
>> within the 2002 Annual Report FORM 18-K filed by Canada with the
>> United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). It states as
>> follows:
>>
>>     “The executive power of the federal Government is vested in the
>> Queen, represented by the Governor General, whose powers are exercised
>> on the advice of the federal Cabinet, which is responsible to the
>> House of Commons. The legislative branch at the federal level,
>> Parliament, consists of the Crown, the Senate and the House of
>> Commons.”
>>
>>     “The executive power in each province is vested in the Lieutenant
>> Governor, appointed by the Governor General on the advice of the
>> federal Cabinet. The Lieutenant Governor’s powers are exercised on the
>> advice of the provincial cabinet, which is responsible to the
>> legislative assembly. Each provincial legislature is composed of a
>> Lieutenant Governor and a legislative assembly made up of members
>> elected for a period of five years.”
>>
>> 2.      Her Majesty the Queen is the named defendant pursuant to
>> sections 23(1) and 36 of the Crown Liability and Proceedings Act. Some
>> of the state actors whose duties and actions are at issue in this
>> action are the Prime Minister, Premiers, Governor General, Lieutenant
>> Governors, members of the Canadian Forces (CF), and Royal Canadian
>> Mounted Police (RCMP), federal and provincial Ministers of Public
>> Safety, Ministers of Justice, Ministers of Finance, Speakers, Clerks,
>> Sergeants-at-Arms and any other person acting as Aide-de-Camp
>> providing security within and around the House of Commons, the
>> legislative assemblies or acting as security for other federal,
>> provincial and municipal properties.
>>
>> 3.      Her Majesty the Queen’s servants the RCMP whose mandate is to
>> serve and protect Canadian citizens and assist in the security of
>> parliamentary properties and the protection of public officials should
>> not deny a correspondence from a former Deputy Prime Minister who was
>> appointed to be Canada’s first Minister of Public Safety in order to
>> oversee the RCMP and their cohorts. The letter that helped to raise
>> the ire of a fellow Canadian citizen who had never voted in his life
>> to run for public office four times thus far is quoted as follows:
>>
>>  “Mr. David R. Amos
>>            Jan 3rd, 2004
>> 153Alvin Avenue
>>   Milton, MA U.S.A. 02186
>>
>>                Dear Mr. Amos
>>
>>      Thank you for your letter of November 19th, 2003, addressed to
>>                my predecessor, the Honourble Wayne Easter, regarding
>> your safety.
>>                I apologize for the delay in responding.
>>
>>      If you have any concerns about your personal safety, I can only
>>               suggest that you contact the police of local
>> jurisdiction. In addition, any
>>               evidence of criminal activity should be brought to
>> their attention since the
>>               police are in the best position to evaluate the
>> information and take action
>>               as deemed appropriate.
>>
>>       I trust that this information is satisfactory.
>>
>>                                                              Yours
>> sincerely
>>
>> A. Anne McLellan”
>>
>> 4.      DAVID RAYMOND AMOS (Plaintiff), a Canadian Citizen and the
>> first Chief of the Amos Clan, was born in Sackville, New Brunswick
>> (NB) on July 17th, 1952.
>>
>> 5.      The Plaintiff claims standing in this action as a citizen
>> whose human rights and democratic interests are to be protected by due
>> performance of the obligations of Canada’s public officials who are
>> either elected or appointed and all servants of the Crown whose
>> mandate is to secure the public safety, protect public interests and
>> to uphold and enforce the rule of law. The Crown affirms his right to
>> seek relief for offences to his rights under section 24(1) of the
>> Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms (Charter). Paragraphs 6 to 13
>> explain the delay in bringing this action before Federal Court and
>> paragraphs 25 to 88 explain this matter.
>>
>> 6.      The Plaintiff states that pursuant to the democratic rights
>> found in Section 3 of the Charter he was a candidate in the elections
>> of the membership of the 38th and 39th Parliaments in the House of
>> Commons and a candidate in the elections of the memberships of the
>> legislative assemblies in Nova Scotia (NS) and NB in 2006.
>>
>> 7.      The Plaintiff states that if he is successful in finding a
>> Chartered Accountant to audit his records as per the rules of
>> Elections Canada, he will attempt to become a candidate in the
>> election of the membership of the 42nd Parliament.
>>
>> 8.      The Plaintiff states that beginning in January of 2002, he
>> made many members of the RCMP and many members of the corporate media
>> including employees of a Crown Corporation, the Canadian Broadcasting
>> Corporation (CBC) well aware of the reason why he planned to return to
>> Canada and become a candidate in the next federal election. In May of
>> 2004, all members seated in the 37th Parliament before the writ was
>> dropped for the election of the 38th Parliament and several members of
>> the legislative assemblies of NB and Newfoundland and Labrador (NL)
>> knew the reason is the ongoing rampant public corruption. Evidence of
>> the Plaintiff’s concerns can be found within his documents that the
>> Office of the Governor General acknowledged were in its possession ten
>> years ago before the Speech from the Throne in 2004. The Governor
>> General’s letter is as follows:
>>
>>
>>  “September 11th, 2004
>>          Dear Mr. Amos,
>>
>>           On behalf of Her Excellency the Right Honourable Adrienne
>> Clarkson,
>>           I acknowledge receipt of two sets of documents and CD
>> regarding corruption,
>>           one received from you directly, and the other forwarded to
>> us by the Office of
>>           the Lieutenant Governor of New Brunswick.
>>
>>                       I regret to inform you that the Governor
>> General cannot intervene in
>>           matters that are the responsibility of elected officials
>> and courts of Justice of
>>           Canada. You already contacted the various provincial
>> authorities regarding
>>           your concerns, and these were the appropriate steps to take.
>>
>>                                                  Yours sincerely.
>>                                                              Renee
>> Blanchet
>>                                                              Office
>> of the Secretary
>>                                                              to the
>> Governor General”
>>
>> 9.      The Plaintiff states that the documents contain proof that the
>> Crown by way of the RCMP and the Minister of Public Safety/Deputy
>> Prime Minister knew that he was the whistleblower offering his
>> assistance to Maher Arar and his lawyers in the USA. The Governor
>> General acknowledged his concerns about the subject of this complaint
>> and affirmed that the proper provincial authorities were contacted but
>> ignored the Plaintiff’s faxes and email to the RCMP and the Solicitor
>> General in November of 2003 and his tracked US Mail to the Solicitor
>> General and the Commissioner of the RCMP by way of the Department of
>> Foreign Affairs and International Trade (DFAIT) in December of 2003
>> and the response he received from the Minister of Public Safety/Deputy
>> Prime Minister in early 2004. One document was irrefutable proof that
>> there was no need whatsoever to create a Commission of Inquiry into
>> Maher Arar concerns at about the same point in time. That document is
>> a letter from the US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Office
>> Inspector General (OIG complaint no. C04-01448) admitting contact with
>> his office on November 21, 2003 within days of the Plaintiff talking
>> to the office of Canada’s Solicitor General while he met with the US
>> Attorney General and one day after the former Attorney General of New
>> York (NY) and the former General Counsel of the SEC testified at a
>> public hearing before the US Senate Banking Committee about
>> investigations of the mutual fund industry.
>>
>> 10.  The Plaintiff states that another document that the Plaintiff
>> received during the election of the 39th Parliament further supported
>> the fact he was a whistleblower about financial crimes. In December of
>> 2006 a member of the RCMP was ethical enough to admit that he
>> understood the Plaintiff’s concerns and forwarded his response to the
>> acting Commissioner of the RCMP and others including a NB Cabinet
>> Minister Michael B. Murphy QC. The Crown is well aware that any member
>> sitting in the last days of the 37th Parliament through to the end of
>> the 41st Parliament could have stood in the House of Commons and asked
>> the Speaker if the Crown was aware of the Plaintiff’s actions. All
>> parliamentarians should have wondered why his concerns and that of Mr.
>> Arar’s were not heard by a committee within the House of Commons in
>> early 2004. Instead, the Crown created an expensive Commission to
>> delay the Arar matter while he sued the governments of Canada and the
>> USA and his wife ran in the election of the 38th Parliament. In 2007,
>> Arar received a $10-million settlement from the Crown and the Prime
>> Minister gave him an official apology yet the US government has never
>> admitted fault. A month after the writ was dropped for the election of
>> the 42nd Parliament and CBC is reporting Syrian concerns constantly,
>> Mr. Arar’s lawyer announced that the RCMP will attempt to extradite a
>> Syrian intelligence officer because it had laid a charge in absentia
>> and a Canada-wide warrant and Interpol notice were issued. The
>> Plaintiff considers such news to be politicking practiced by the
>> Minister of Public Safety. He noticed the usually outspoken Mr. Arar
>> made no comment but his politically active wife had lots to say on
>> CBC. Meanwhile, the RCMP continues to bar a fellow citizen from
>> parliamentary properties because he exercised the same democratic
>> rights after he had offered his support to Arar by way of his American
>> lawyers. The aforementioned letter about financial crimes was from the
>> Inspector General for Tax Administration in the US Department of the
>> Treasury. Mr Arar’s lawyers, the RCMP, the Canadian Revenue Agency and
>> the US Internal Revenue Service still refuse to even admit TIGTA
>> complaint no. 071-0512-0055-C exists. However, the Commissioner of
>> Federal Court, the Queen’s Privy Council Office and other agencies
>> were made well aware of it before the Speech from the Throne in 2006.
>>
>> 11.  The Plaintiff states that from June 24, 2004 until the day he
>> signed this complaint he has diligently tried to resolve the breach of
>> his rights under the Charter that are the subject of this complaint
>> with any public official in Canada whom he believed had the mandate or
>> the ability to request that the Crown investigate and correct the
>> malicious actions and inactions of the RCMP, Sergeants-at-Arms and
>> Aides-de-Camp in all jurisdictions. Until June 16, 2006 the Plaintiff
>> did not have irrefutable proof to support this complaint. Time did not
>> permit him to address it immediately in Federal Court in 2006 because
>> his slate was full. For instance on June 16, 2006 while dealing with
>> deeply troubling private family matters, he was running against the
>> Attorney General for his seat in the NS provincial election while
>> arguing members of the RCMP about strange calls he got from someone in
>> Ottawa who claimed the Department of Public Safety as her client,
>> dealing with many liberal party members who were about to witness in
>> Moncton NB the first debate of all those who wished to become their
>> new leader, assisting a farmer in his attempt to get some authority to
>> properly investigate the demise of his cattle and discussing with
>> members of the Saint John NB City Council the actions of a sergeant in
>> the Saint John Police Force who was calling friends of the Plaintiff
>> and claiming that he was drug dealing member of a bike gang that they
>> should stay away from while he was preparing to intervene in pipeline
>> matter that was about to heard by the National Energy Board in Saint
>> John .
>>
>> 12.  The Plaintiff states that in April of 2007 he wrote a complaint
>> about this matter and returned to the Capital District of NB in order
>> to file it and argue the Crown before the Federal Court if it did not
>> wish to settle. A clerk of this court informed him that his complaint
>> was not composed correctly, so he began to rewrite this complaint.
>> However, as soon as it was known what the Plaintiff was about to file
>> he was subject to further police harassment and his family began to
>> suffer from constant slander, sexual harassment and death threats on
>> the Internet and on the telephone that continues to this very day
>> while the RCMP, the FBI and many other law enforcement authorities
>> continue to ignored the obvious evidence of cybercrime practiced
>> against many people including his minor children.
>>
>> 13.  The Plaintiff states that the Crown’s only response has been
>> further harassment by the RCMP including false arrest and imprisonment
>> and theft of his property by the Fredericton Police Force supported by
>> other law enforcement authorities in Canada and the USA. The Governor
>> General has had the Plaintiff’s documents for over ten years to study.
>> The Crown now has one of the complaints that the RCMP has been
>> delaying since 2003. It is as follows:
>>
>> The Complaint
>>
>> 14.  The Plaintiff states that on June 24, 2004 during the election of
>> the membership of the 38th Parliament the Crown breached his right to
>> peaceful assembly and association under Section 2(c) and (d) of the
>> Charter. The Sergeant-at-Arms of the Legislative Assembly of NB (a
>> former member of the RCMP) supported by the Fredericton Police Force
>> (FPF), the Corps of Commissionaires (COC) and at least one RCMP
>> officer acting as Aide-de-Camp to the NB Lieutenant Governor barred
>> the Plaintiff under threat of arrest from the legislative properties
>> in NB.
>>
>> 15.  The Plaintiff states that whereas the Crown refused to put
>> anything in writing to either confirm or deny that he was in fact
>> barred from the legislative properties in NB, he returned to the
>> public property whenever he deemed it necessary to do so as he ran for
>> public office three more times. For example, when the Plaintiff was a
>> candidate in the election of the 39th Parliament for the riding of
>> Fredericton, he was asked to come into the legislative building of NB
>> to record a live interview for an Atlantic Television (ATV) news cast
>> shortly before polling day. On that occasion, the Sergeant-at-Arms and
>> his Aides-de-Camp did not attempt to bar the Plaintiff from access to
>> legislative property quite possibly because they did not wish their
>> actions to be recorded by ATV. However, the Crown made matters worse
>> in short order. CBC barred the Plaintiff from an all-candidates’
>> debate on the University of New Brunswick (UNB) campus and on polling
>> day two District Returning Officers on the UNB campus after viewing
>> identification threatened to have the Plaintiff arrested stating that
>> they did not believe he was on the ballot.
>>
>> 16.  The Plaintiff states that the NB Sergeant-at-Arms continued with
>> his threat of arrest after the election 39th Parliament. In response,
>> the Plaintiff challenged the Sergeant-at-Arms to either put his threat
>> in writing or arrest him so he could at least argue the Crown about
>> the offences against his rights under the Charter.

>> NDP gets help from democracy expert
>>
>> CBC News · Posted: Jan 09, 2006 4:23 PM AT
>>
>> An international expert on democracy has flown all the way from Egypt
>> to help NDP candidate John Carty campaign in Fredericton.
>>
>> Dominic Cardy is with a group called The National Democratic
>> Institute. Its members include such people as former U.S. President
>> Jimmy Carter. The group's mission is to teach democratic values and
>> spread democracy around the world.
>>
>> Cardy has taught about democracy in Algeria, Bangladesh, and Cambodia
>> during the past few years. When he heard his friend John Carty was
>> running for office back in his home town of Fredericton, he hopped on
>> a plane.
>>
>> "It was a strange experience," Cardy said. "One evening I was watching
>> the sun go down over the pyramids, and the next evening watched it go
>> down over Fredericton airport as I came into land."
>>
>> Cardy is no relation to the NDP candidate. But he loves elections and
>> loves getting people pumped up about democracy.
>>
>> Carty the candidate is running against federal Indian Affairs Minister
>> Andy Scott, Conservative Pat Lynch, Green candidate Philip Duchastel
>> and independent David Amos. The riding has sent Scott to Ottawa for
>> the last four elections, despite the best efforts of the other
>> parties.
>>
>> Cardy says he doesn't care how tough the race his – he just wants
>> people to participate in the process. "People have forgotten how
>> incredibly precious these gifts that our ancestors fought for are and
>> were just giving them away. It makes me furious when I talk to people
>> and people just say 'ah there's no point in voting.'"
>>
>> After election day, Dominic Cardy is flying back home to his wife in
>> Kathmandu, Nepal. He hopes to leave behind a new Member of Parliament
>> for Fredericton, his friend John Carty for the NDP.

>> While some people see this as a two-person race, David Wightman and
>> Lauren Skabar are hoping to change that.
>>
>> Running for the Progressive Conservatives, Wightman has had some
>> catching up to do because of his late entry into the campaign.
>> Election materials were late arriving, and while Smith-McCrossin and
>> Casey signs pepper the district, Wightman only recently started
>> putting his up.
>>
>> But he's hoping a platform that focuses on health care, along with
>> community anger directed at the Liberals, will hold him in good stead.
>>
>>
>> "I think the Liberals have had their turn to try and fix things, and I
>> think they've only gotten worse," he said, pointing to the growing
>> wait list of people looking for a family doctor.
>>
>> While he expresses interest in working on a variety of issues,
>> Wightman said health care is top of mind for him as a stroke survivor
>> and because his wife went through treatment for cancer. There are
>> aspects of the system unique to that region that Wightman hopes to
>> address.
>>
>> "One of the things I'd like to see is a better approach to how to get
>> people to medical appointments that are travelling back and forth
>> across the [New Brunswick] border," he said.
>> A time to unite
>>
>> Skabar is the NDP candidate. Her father, Brian, was elected in the
>> district in 2009 as part of the NDP's surge to power, but she said
>> politics was in her blood long before that.
>>
>> Health care for the area is a major issue, said Skabar, given routine
>> emergency department closures at community sites and difficulties
>> getting enough nurses and doctors to the region.
>>
>> "Until we start incentivizing health-care professionals coming to
>> places like Cumberland North and our smaller communities, we aren't
>> going to see any improvements," she said.

>>>>>>>>>>> Fredericton, New Brunswick, December 23, 2015
>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>> PRESENT:        The Honourable Mr. Justice Bell
>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>> BETWEEN:
>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>> DAVID RAYMOND AMOS
>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>> Plaintiff
>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>> and
>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>> HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN
>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>> Defendant
>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>> ORDER
>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>> (Delivered orally from the Bench in Fredericton, New Brunswick,
>>>>>>>>>>> on
>>>>>>>>>>> December 14, 2015)
>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>> The Plaintiff seeks an appeal de novo, by way of motion pursuant
>>>>>>>>>>> to
>>>>>>>>>>> the Federal Courts Rules (SOR/98-106), from an Order made on
>>>>>>>>>>> November
>>>>>>>>>>> 12, 2015, in which Prothonotary Morneau struck the Statement of
>>>>>>>>>>> Claim
>>>>>>>>>>> in its entirety.
>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>> At the outset of the hearing, the Plaintiff brought to my
>>>>>>>>>>> attention
>>>>>>>>>>> a
>>>>>>>>>>> letter dated September 10, 2004, which he sent to me, in my then
>>>>>>>>>>> capacity as Past President of the New Brunswick Branch of the
>>>>>>>>>>> Canadian
>>>>>>>>>>> Bar Association, and the then President of the Branch, Kathleen
>>>>>>>>>>> Quigg,
>>>>>>>>>>> (now a Justice of the New Brunswick Court of Appeal).  In that
>>>>>>>>>>> letter
>>>>>>>>>>> he stated:
>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>> As for your past President, Mr. Bell, may I suggest that you
>>>>>>>>>>> check
>>>>>>>>>>> the
>>>>>>>>>>> work of Frank McKenna before I sue your entire law firm including
>>>>>>>>>>> you.
>>>>>>>>>>> You are your brother’s keeper.
>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>> Frank McKenna is the former Premier of New Brunswick and a former
>>>>>>>>>>> colleague of mine at the law firm of McInnes Cooper. In addition
>>>>>>>>>>> to
>>>>>>>>>>> expressing an intention to sue me, the Plaintiff refers to a
>>>>>>>>>>> number
>>>>>>>>>>> of
>>>>>>>>>>> people in his Motion Record who he appears to contend may be
>>>>>>>>>>> witnesses
>>>>>>>>>>> or potential parties to be added. Those individuals who are known
>>>>>>>>>>> to
>>>>>>>>>>> me personally, include, but are not limited to the former Prime
>>>>>>>>>>> Minister of Canada, The Right Honourable Stephen Harper; former
>>>>>>>>>>> Attorney General of Canada and now a Justice of the Manitoba
>>>>>>>>>>> Court
>>>>>>>>>>> of
>>>>>>>>>>> Queen’s Bench, Vic Toews; former member of Parliament Rob Moore;
>>>>>>>>>>> former Director of Policing Services, the late Grant Garneau;
>>>>>>>>>>> former
>>>>>>>>>>> Chief of the Fredericton Police Force, Barry McKnight; former
>>>>>>>>>>> Staff
>>>>>>>>>>> Sergeant Danny Copp; my former colleagues on the New Brunswick
>>>>>>>>>>> Court
>>>>>>>>>>> of Appeal, Justices Bradley V. Green and Kathleen Quigg, and,
>>>>>>>>>>> retired
>>>>>>>>>>> Assistant Commissioner Wayne Lang of the Royal Canadian Mounted
>>>>>>>>>>> Police.
>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>> In the circumstances, given the threat in 2004 to sue me in my
>>>>>>>>>>> personal capacity and my past and present relationship with many
>>>>>>>>>>> potential witnesses and/or potential parties to the litigation, I
>>>>>>>>>>> am
>>>>>>>>>>> of the view there would be a reasonable apprehension of bias
>>>>>>>>>>> should
>>>>>>>>>>> I
>>>>>>>>>>> hear this motion. See Justice de Grandpré’s dissenting judgment
>>>>>>>>>>> in
>>>>>>>>>>> Committee for Justice and Liberty et al v National Energy Board
>>>>>>>>>>> et
>>>>>>>>>>> al,
>>>>>>>>>>> [1978] 1 SCR 369 at p 394 for the applicable test regarding
>>>>>>>>>>> allegations of bias. In the circumstances, although neither party
>>>>>>>>>>> has
>>>>>>>>>>> requested I recuse myself, I consider it appropriate that I do
>>>>>>>>>>> so.
>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>> AS A RESULT OF MY RECUSAL, THIS COURT ORDERS that the
>>>>>>>>>>> Administrator
>>>>>>>>>>> of
>>>>>>>>>>> the Court schedule another date for the hearing of the motion.
>>>>>>>>>>> There
>>>>>>>>>>> is no order as to costs.

>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>> What Justin Trudeau and the Liberals don’t tell you now, is that

>>>>>>>>>>> The Canadian Government or The Crown unlike our amerkan cousins

>>>>>>>>>>> That has been recently clearly articulated to the Canadian public

>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>> [3]               On January 25, 2016 (2016 FC 93), by way of Mr.
>>>>>>>>>> Amos’ appeal from the Prothonotary’s Order, a judge of the Federal
>>>>>>>>>> Court (the Judge), reviewing the matter de novo, struck all of Mr.
>>>>>>>>>> Amos’ claims for relief with the exception of the claim for
>>>>>>>>>> damages
>>>>>>>>>> for being barred by the RCMP from the New Brunswick legislature in
>>>>>>>>>> 2004 (the Federal Court Judgment).
>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>

>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>> II.                 Preliminary Matter
>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>> [5]               Mr. Amos, in his memorandum of fact and law in
>>>>>>>>>> relation to the cross-appeal that was filed with this Court on
>>>>>>>>>> March
>>>>>>>>>> 6, 2017, indicated that several judges of this Court, including
>>>>>>>>>> two
>>>>>>>>>> of
>>>>>>>>>> the judges of this panel, had a conflict of interest in this
>>>>>>>>>> appeal.
>>>>>>>>>> This was the first time that he identified the judges whom he
>>>>>>>>>> believed
>>>>>>>>>> had a conflict of interest in a document that was filed with this
>>>>>>>>>> Court. In his notice of appeal he had alluded to a conflict with
>>>>>>>>>> several judges but did not name those judges.
>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>> [6]               Mr. Amos was of the view that he did not have to
>>>>>>>>>> identify the judges in any document filed with this Court because
>>>>>>>>>> he
>>>>>>>>>> had identified the judges in various documents that had been filed
>>>>>>>>>> with the Federal Court. In his view the Federal Court and the
>>>>>>>>>> Federal
>>>>>>>>>> Court of Appeal are the same court and therefore any document
>>>>>>>>>> filed
>>>>>>>>>> in
>>>>>>>>>> the Federal Court would be filed in this Court. This view is based
>>>>>>>>>> on
>>>>>>>>>> subsections 5(4) and 5.1(4) of the Federal Courts Act, R.S.C.,
>>>>>>>>>> 1985,
>>>>>>>>>> c. F-7:
>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>> 5(4) Every judge of the Federal Court is, by virtue of his or her
>>>>>>>>>> office, a judge of the Federal Court of Appeal and has all the
>>>>>>>>>> jurisdiction, power and authority of a judge of the Federal Court
>>>>>>>>>> of
>>>>>>>>>> Appeal.
>>>>>>>>>> […]
>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>> 5(4) Les juges de la Cour fédérale sont d’office juges de la Cour
>>>>>>>>>> d’appel fédérale et ont la même compétence et les mêmes pouvoirs
>>>>>>>>>> que
>>>>>>>>>> les juges de la Cour d’appel fédérale.
>>>>>>>>>> […]
>>>>>>>>>> 5.1(4) Every judge of the Federal Court of Appeal is, by virtue of
>>>>>>>>>> that office, a judge of the Federal Court and has all the
>>>>>>>>>> jurisdiction, power and authority of a judge of the Federal Court.
>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>> 5.1(4) Les juges de la Cour d’appel fédérale sont d’office juges
>>>>>>>>>> de
>>>>>>>>>> la
>>>>>>>>>> Cour fédérale et ont la même compétence et les mêmes pouvoirs que
>>>>>>>>>> les
>>>>>>>>>> juges de la Cour fédérale.
>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>> [7]               However, these subsections only provide that the
>>>>>>>>>> judges of the Federal Court are also judges of this Court (and
>>>>>>>>>> vice
>>>>>>>>>> versa). It does not mean that there is only one court. If the
>>>>>>>>>> Federal
>>>>>>>>>> Court and this Court were one Court, there would be no need for

>>>>>>>>>> section.

>>>>>>>>>> that:

>>>>>>>>>> [9]               Sections 3 and 4 of the Federal Courts Act
>>>>>>>>>> create
>>>>>>>>>> two separate courts – this Court (section 3) and the Federal Court
>>>>>>>>>> (section 4). If, as Mr. Amos suggests, documents filed in the

>>>>>>>>>> Court were automatically also filed in this Court, then there
>>>>>>>>>> would
>>>>>>>>>> no
>>>>>>>>>> need for the parties to prepare and file appeal books as required
>>>>>>>>>> by
>>>>>>>>>> Rules 343 to 345 of the Federal Courts Rules, SOR/98-106 in

>>>>>>>>>> to
>>>>>>>>>> file an appeal book with this Court in relation to an appeal from
>>>>>>>>>> a
>>>>>>>>>> decision of the Federal Court makes it clear that the only
>>>>>>>>>> documents
>>>>>>>>>> that will be before this Court are the documents that are part of
>>>>>>>>>> that
>>>>>>>>>> appeal book.
>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>> [10]           Therefore, the memorandum of fact and law filed on
>>>>>>>>>> March 6, 2017 is the first document, filed with this Court, in
>>>>>>>>>> which
>>>>>>>>>> Mr. Amos identified the particular judges that he submits have a
>>>>>>>>>> conflict in any matter related to him.
>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>> [11]           On April 3, 2017, Mr. Amos attempted to bring a
>>>>>>>>>> motion
>>>>>>>>>> before the Federal Court seeking an order “affirming or denying
>>>>>>>>>> the
>>>>>>>>>> conflict of interest he has” with a number of judges of the
>>>>>>>>>> Federal
>>>>>>>>>> Court. A judge of the Federal Court issued a direction noting that
>>>>>>>>>> if
>>>>>>>>>> Mr. Amos was seeking this order in relation to judges of the
>>>>>>>>>> Federal
>>>>>>>>>> Court of Appeal, it was beyond the jurisdiction of the Federal
>>>>>>>>>> Court.
>>>>>>>>>> Mr. Amos raised the Federal Court motion at the hearing of this
>>>>>>>>>> cross-appeal. The Federal Court motion is not a motion before this
>>>>>>>>>> Court and, as such, the submissions filed before the Federal Court
>>>>>>>>>> will not be entertained. As well, since this was a motion brought
>>>>>>>>>> before the Federal Court (and not this Court), any documents filed
>>>>>>>>>> in
>>>>>>>>>> relation to that motion are not part of the record of this Court.
>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>> [12]           During the hearing of the appeal Mr. Amos alleged
>>>>>>>>>> that
>>>>>>>>>> the third member of this panel also had a conflict of interest and
>>>>>>>>>> submitted some documents that, in his view, supported his claim of
>>>>>>>>>> a
>>>>>>>>>> conflict. Mr. Amos, following the hearing of his appeal, was also
>>>>>>>>>> afforded the opportunity to provide a brief summary of the
>>>>>>>>>> conflict
>>>>>>>>>> that he was alleging and to file additional documents that, in his
>>>>>>>>>> view, supported his allegations. Mr. Amos submitted several pages
>>>>>>>>>> of
>>>>>>>>>> documents in relation to the alleged conflicts. He organized the
>>>>>>>>>> documents by submitting a copy of the biography of the particular
>>>>>>>>>> judge and then, immediately following that biography, by including
>>>>>>>>>> copies of the documents that, in his view, supported his claim
>>>>>>>>>> that
>>>>>>>>>> such judge had a conflict.
>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>> [13]           The nature of the alleged conflict of Justice Webb
>>>>>>>>>> is
>>>>>>>>>> that before he was appointed as a Judge of the Tax Court of Canada
>>>>>>>>>> in
>>>>>>>>>> 2006, he was a partner with the law firm Patterson Law, and before
>>>>>>>>>> that with Patterson Palmer in Nova Scotia. Mr. Amos submitted that
>>>>>>>>>> he
>>>>>>>>>> had a number of disputes with Patterson Palmer and Patterson Law
>>>>>>>>>> and
>>>>>>>>>> therefore Justice Webb has a conflict simply because he was a
>>>>>>>>>> partner
>>>>>>>>>> of these firms. Mr. Amos is not alleging that Justice Webb was
>>>>>>>>>> personally involved in or had any knowledge of any matter in which
>>>>>>>>>> Mr.
>>>>>>>>>> Amos was involved with Justice Webb’s former law firm – only that
>>>>>>>>>> he
>>>>>>>>>> was a member of such firm.
>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>> [14]           During his oral submissions at the hearing of his
>>>>>>>>>> appeal Mr. Amos, in relation to the alleged conflict for Justice
>>>>>>>>>> Webb,
>>>>>>>>>> focused on dealings between himself and a particular lawyer at
>>>>>>>>>> Patterson Law. However, none of the documents submitted by Mr.
>>>>>>>>>> Amos
>>>>>>>>>> at
>>>>>>>>>> the hearing or subsequently related to any dealings with this
>>>>>>>>>> particular lawyer nor is it clear when Mr. Amos was dealing with
>>>>>>>>>> this
>>>>>>>>>> lawyer. In particular, it is far from clear whether such dealings
>>>>>>>>>> were
>>>>>>>>>> after the time that Justice Webb was appointed as a Judge of the
>>>>>>>>>> Tax
>>>>>>>>>> Court of Canada over 10 years ago.
>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>> [15]           The documents that he submitted in relation to the
>>>>>>>>>> alleged conflict for Justice Webb largely relate to dealings
>>>>>>>>>> between
>>>>>>>>>> Byron Prior and the St. John’s Newfoundland and Labrador office of
>>>>>>>>>> Patterson Palmer, which is not in the same province where Justice
>>>>>>>>>> Webb
>>>>>>>>>> practiced law. The only document that indicates any dealing
>>>>>>>>>> between
>>>>>>>>>> Mr. Amos and Patterson Palmer is a copy of an affidavit of Stephen
>>>>>>>>>> May
>>>>>>>>>> who was a partner in the St. John’s NL office of Patterson Palmer.
>>>>>>>>>> The
>>>>>>>>>> affidavit is dated January 24, 2005 and refers to a number of
>>>>>>>>>> e-mails
>>>>>>>>>> that were sent by Mr. Amos to Stephen May. Mr. Amos also included
>>>>>>>>>> a
>>>>>>>>>> letter that is addressed to four individuals, one of whom is John
>>>>>>>>>> Crosbie who was counsel to the St. John’s NL office of Patterson
>>>>>>>>>> Palmer. The letter is dated September 2, 2004 and is addressed to
>>>>>>>>>> “John Crosbie, c/o Greg G. Byrne, Suite 502, 570 Queen Street,
>>>>>>>>>> Fredericton, NB E3B 5E3”. In this letter Mr. Amos alludes to a
>>>>>>>>>> possible lawsuit against Patterson Palmer.
>>>>>>>>>> [16]           Mr. Amos’ position is that simply because Justice
>>>>>>>>>> Webb
>>>>>>>>>> was a lawyer with Patterson Palmer, he now has a conflict. In
>>>>>>>>>> Wewaykum
>>>>>>>>>> Indian Band v. Her Majesty the Queen, 2003 SCC 45, [2003] 2 S.C.R.
>>>>>>>>>> 259, the Supreme Court of Canada noted that disqualification of a
>>>>>>>>>> judge is to be determined based on whether there is a reasonable
>>>>>>>>>> apprehension of bias:
>>>>>>>>>> 60        In Canadian law, one standard has now emerged as the
>>>>>>>>>> criterion for disqualification. The criterion, as expressed by de
>>>>>>>>>> Grandpré J. in Committee for Justice and Liberty v. National
>>>>>>>>>> Energy
>>>>>>>>>> Board, …[[1978] 1 S.C.R. 369, 68 D.L.R. (3d) 716], at p. 394, is
>>>>>>>>>> the
>>>>>>>>>> reasonable apprehension of bias:
>>>>>>>>>> … the apprehension of bias must be a reasonable one, held by
>>>>>>>>>> reasonable and right minded persons, applying themselves to the
>>>>>>>>>> question and obtaining thereon the required information. In the
>>>>>>>>>> words
>>>>>>>>>> of the Court of Appeal, that test is "what would an informed
>>>>>>>>>> person,
>>>>>>>>>> viewing the matter realistically and practically -- and having
>>>>>>>>>> thought
>>>>>>>>>> the matter through -- conclude. Would he think that it is more
>>>>>>>>>> likely
>>>>>>>>>> than not that [the decision-maker], whether consciously or
>>>>>>>>>> unconsciously, would not decide fairly."
>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>> [17]           The issue to be determined is whether an informed
>>>>>>>>>> person, viewing the matter realistically and practically, and
>>>>>>>>>> having
>>>>>>>>>> thought the matter through, would conclude that Mr. Amos’
>>>>>>>>>> allegations
>>>>>>>>>> give rise to a reasonable apprehension of bias. As this Court has
>>>>>>>>>> previously remarked, “there is a strong presumption that judges
>>>>>>>>>> will
>>>>>>>>>> administer justice impartially” and this presumption will not be
>>>>>>>>>> rebutted in the absence of “convincing evidence” of bias (Collins
>>>>>>>>>> v.
>>>>>>>>>> Canada, 2011 FCA 140 at para. 7, [2011] 4 C.T.C. 157 [Collins].
>>>>>>>>>> See
>>>>>>>>>> also R. v. S. (R.D.), [1997] 3 S.C.R. 484 at para. 32, 151 D.L.R.
>>>>>>>>>> (4th) 193).
>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>> [18]           The Ontario Court of Appeal in Rando Drugs Ltd. v.
>>>>>>>>>> Scott, 2007 ONCA 553, 86 O.R. (3d) 653 (leave to appeal to the
>>>>>>>>>> Supreme
>>>>>>>>>> Court of Canada refused, 32285 (August 1, 2007)), addressed the
>>>>>>>>>> particular issue of whether a judge is disqualified from hearing a
>>>>>>>>>> case simply because he had been a member of a law firm that was
>>>>>>>>>> involved in the litigation that was now before that judge. The
>>>>>>>>>> Ontario
>>>>>>>>>> Court of Appeal determined that the judge was not disqualified if
>>>>>>>>>> the
>>>>>>>>>> judge had no involvement with the person or the matter when he was
>>>>>>>>>> a
>>>>>>>>>> lawyer. The Ontario Court of Appeal also explained that the rules
>>>>>>>>>> for
>>>>>>>>>> determining whether a judge is disqualified are different from the
>>>>>>>>>> rules to determine whether a lawyer has a conflict:
>>>>>>>>>> 27        Thus, disqualification is not the natural corollary to a
>>>>>>>>>> finding that a trial judge has had some involvement in a case over
>>>>>>>>>> which he or she is now presiding. Where the judge had no
>>>>>>>>>> involvement,
>>>>>>>>>> as here, it cannot be said that the judge is disqualified.
>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>> 28        The point can rightly be made that had Mr. Patterson
>>>>>>>>>> been
>>>>>>>>>> asked to represent the appellant as counsel before his appointment
>>>>>>>>>> to
>>>>>>>>>> the bench, the conflict rules would likely have prevented him from
>>>>>>>>>> taking the case because his firm had formerly represented one of
>>>>>>>>>> the
>>>>>>>>>> defendants in the case. Thus, it is argued how is it that as a
>>>>>>>>>> trial
>>>>>>>>>> judge Patterson J. can hear the case? This issue was considered by
>>>>>>>>>> the
>>>>>>>>>> Court of Appeal (Civil Division) in Locabail (U.K.) Ltd. v.
>>>>>>>>>> Bayfield
>>>>>>>>>> Properties Ltd., [2000] Q.B. 451. The court held, at para. 58,
>>>>>>>>>> that
>>>>>>>>>> there is no inflexible rule governing the disqualification of a
>>>>>>>>>> judge
>>>>>>>>>> and that, "[e]verything depends on the circumstances."
>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>> 29        It seems to me that what appears at first sight to be an
>>>>>>>>>> inconsistency in application of rules can be explained by the
>>>>>>>>>> different contexts and in particular, the strong presumption of
>>>>>>>>>> judicial impartiality that applies in the context of
>>>>>>>>>> disqualification
>>>>>>>>>> of a judge. There is no such presumption in cases of allegations
>>>>>>>>>> of
>>>>>>>>>> conflict of interest against a lawyer because of a firm's previous
>>>>>>>>>> involvement in the case. To the contrary, as explained by Sopinka
>>>>>>>>>> J.
>>>>>>>>>> in MacDonald Estate v. Martin (1990), 77 D.L.R. (4th) 249
>>>>>>>>>> (S.C.C.),
>>>>>>>>>> for sound policy reasons there is a presumption of a disqualifying
>>>>>>>>>> interest that can rarely be overcome. In particular, a conclusory
>>>>>>>>>> statement from the lawyer that he or she had no confidential
>>>>>>>>>> information about the case will never be sufficient. The case is
>>>>>>>>>> the
>>>>>>>>>> opposite where the allegation of bias is made against a trial
>>>>>>>>>> judge.
>>>>>>>>>> His or her statement that he or she knew nothing about the case
>>>>>>>>>> and
>>>>>>>>>> had no involvement in it will ordinarily be accepted at face value
>>>>>>>>>> unless there is good reason to doubt it: see Locabail, at para.
>>>>>>>>>> 19.
>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>> 30        That brings me then to consider the particular
>>>>>>>>>> circumstances
>>>>>>>>>> of this case and whether there are serious grounds to find a
>>>>>>>>>> disqualifying conflict of interest in this case. In my view, there
>>>>>>>>>> are
>>>>>>>>>> two significant factors that justify the trial judge's decision
>>>>>>>>>> not
>>>>>>>>>> to
>>>>>>>>>> recuse himself. The first is his statement, which all parties
>>>>>>>>>> accept,
>>>>>>>>>> that he knew nothing of the case when it was in his former firm
>>>>>>>>>> and
>>>>>>>>>> that he had nothing to do with it. The second is the long passage
>>>>>>>>>> of
>>>>>>>>>> time. As was said in Wewaykum, at para. 85:
>>>>>>>>>>            To us, one significant factor stands out, and must
>>>>>>>>>> inform
>>>>>>>>>> the perspective of the reasonable person assessing the impact of
>>>>>>>>>> this
>>>>>>>>>> involvement on Binnie J.'s impartiality in the appeals. That
>>>>>>>>>> factor
>>>>>>>>>> is
>>>>>>>>>> the passage of time. Most arguments for disqualification rest on
>>>>>>>>>> circumstances that are either contemporaneous to the
>>>>>>>>>> decision-making,
>>>>>>>>>> or that occurred within a short time prior to the decision-making.
>>>>>>>>>> 31        There are other factors that inform the issue. The
>>>>>>>>>> Wilson
>>>>>>>>>> Walker firm no longer acted for any of the parties by the time of
>>>>>>>>>> trial. More importantly, at the time of the motion, Patterson J.
>>>>>>>>>> had
>>>>>>>>>> been a judge for six years and thus had not had a relationship
>>>>>>>>>> with
>>>>>>>>>> his former firm for a considerable period of time.
>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>> 32        In my view, a reasonable person, viewing the matter
>>>>>>>>>> realistically would conclude that the trial judge could deal
>>>>>>>>>> fairly
>>>>>>>>>> and impartially with this case. I take this view principally
>>>>>>>>>> because
>>>>>>>>>> of the long passage of time and the trial judge's lack of
>>>>>>>>>> involvement
>>>>>>>>>> in or knowledge of the case when the Wilson Walker firm had
>>>>>>>>>> carriage.
>>>>>>>>>> In these circumstances it cannot be reasonably contended that the
>>>>>>>>>> trial judge could not remain impartial in the case. The mere fact
>>>>>>>>>> that
>>>>>>>>>> his name appears on the letterhead of some correspondence from
>>>>>>>>>> over
>>>>>>>>>> a
>>>>>>>>>> decade ago would not lead a reasonable person to believe that he
>>>>>>>>>> would
>>>>>>>>>> either consciously or unconsciously favour his former firm's
>>>>>>>>>> former
>>>>>>>>>> client. It is simply not realistic to think that a judge would
>>>>>>>>>> throw
>>>>>>>>>> off his mantle of impartiality, ignore his oath of office and
>>>>>>>>>> favour
>>>>>>>>>> a
>>>>>>>>>> client - about whom he knew nothing - of a firm that he left six
>>>>>>>>>> years
>>>>>>>>>> earlier and that no longer acts for the client, in a case
>>>>>>>>>> involving
>>>>>>>>>> events from over a decade ago.
>>>>>>>>>> (emphasis added)
>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>> [19]           Justice Webb had no involvement with any matter
>>>>>>>>>> involving Mr. Amos while he was a member of Patterson Palmer or
>>>>>>>>>> Patterson Law, nor does Mr. Amos suggest that he did. Mr. Amos
>>>>>>>>>> made
>>>>>>>>>> it
>>>>>>>>>> clear during the hearing of this matter that the only reason for
>>>>>>>>>> the
>>>>>>>>>> alleged conflict for Justice Webb was that he was a member of
>>>>>>>>>> Patterson Law and Patterson Palmer. This is simply not enough for
>>>>>>>>>> Justice Webb to be disqualified. Any involvement of Mr. Amos with
>>>>>>>>>> Patterson Law while Justice Webb was a member of that firm would
>>>>>>>>>> have
>>>>>>>>>> had to occur over 10 years ago and even longer for the time when
>>>>>>>>>> he
>>>>>>>>>> was a member of Patterson Palmer. In addition to the lack of any
>>>>>>>>>> involvement on his part with any matter or dispute that Mr. Amos
>>>>>>>>>> had
>>>>>>>>>> with Patterson Law or Patterson Palmer (which in and of itself is
>>>>>>>>>> sufficient to dispose of this matter), the length of time since
>>>>>>>>>> Justice Webb was a member of Patterson Law or Patterson Palmer
>>>>>>>>>> would
>>>>>>>>>> also result in the same finding – that there is no conflict in
>>>>>>>>>> Justice
>>>>>>>>>> Webb hearing this appeal.
>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>> [20]           Similarly in R. v. Bagot, 2000 MBCA 30, 145 Man. R.
>>>>>>>>>> (2d) 260, the Manitoba Court of Appeal found that there was no
>>>>>>>>>> reasonable apprehension of bias when a judge, who had been a
>>>>>>>>>> member
>>>>>>>>>> of
>>>>>>>>>> the law firm that had been retained by the accused, had no
>>>>>>>>>> involvement
>>>>>>>>>> with the accused while he was a lawyer with that firm.
>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>> [21]           In Del Zotto v. Minister of National Revenue,
>>>>>>>>>> [2000]
>>>>>>>>>> 4
>>>>>>>>>> F.C. 321, 257 N.R. 96, this court did find that there would be a
>>>>>>>>>> reasonable apprehension of bias where a judge, who while he was a
>>>>>>>>>> lawyer, had recorded time on a matter involving the same person
>>>>>>>>>> who
>>>>>>>>>> was before that judge. However, this case can be distinguished as
>>>>>>>>>> Justice Webb did not have any time recorded on any files involving
>>>>>>>>>> Mr.
>>>>>>>>>> Amos while he was a lawyer with Patterson Palmer or Patterson Law.
>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>> [22]           Mr. Amos also included with his submissions a CD.
>>>>>>>>>> He
>>>>>>>>>> stated in his affidavit dated June 26, 2017 that there is a “true
>>>>>>>>>> copy
>>>>>>>>>> of an American police surveillance wiretap entitled 139” on this
>>>>>>>>>> CD.
>>>>>>>>>> He has also indicated that he has “provided a true copy of the CD
>>>>>>>>>> entitled 139 to many American and Canadian law enforcement
>>>>>>>>>> authorities
>>>>>>>>>> and not one of the police forces or officers of the court are
>>>>>>>>>> willing
>>>>>>>>>> to investigate it”. Since he has indicated that this is an
>>>>>>>>>> “American
>>>>>>>>>> police surveillance wiretap”, this is a matter for the American
>>>>>>>>>> law
>>>>>>>>>> enforcement authorities and cannot create, as Mr. Amos suggests, a
>>>>>>>>>> conflict of interest for any judge to whom he provides a copy.
>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>> [23]           As a result, there is no conflict or reasonable
>>>>>>>>>> apprehension of bias for Justice Webb and therefore, no reason for
>>>>>>>>>> him
>>>>>>>>>> to recuse himself.
>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>> [24]           Mr. Amos alleged that Justice Near’s past
>>>>>>>>>> professional
>>>>>>>>>> experience with the government created a “quasi-conflict” in
>>>>>>>>>> deciding
>>>>>>>>>> the cross-appeal. Mr. Amos provided no details and Justice Near
>>>>>>>>>> confirmed that he had no prior knowledge of the matters alleged in
>>>>>>>>>> the
>>>>>>>>>> Claim. Justice Near sees no reason to recuse himself.
>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>> [25]           Insofar as it is possible to glean the basis for
>>>>>>>>>> Mr.
>>>>>>>>>> Amos’ allegations against Justice Gleason, it appears that he
>>>>>>>>>> alleges
>>>>>>>>>> that she is incapable of hearing this appeal because he says he
>>>>>>>>>> wrote
>>>>>>>>>> a letter to Brian Mulroney and Jean Chrétien in 2004. At that
>>>>>>>>>> time,
>>>>>>>>>> both Justice Gleason and Mr. Mulroney were partners in the law
>>>>>>>>>> firm
>>>>>>>>>> Ogilvy Renault, LLP. The letter in question, which is rude and
>>>>>>>>>> angry,
>>>>>>>>>> begins with “Hey you two Evil Old Smiling Bastards” and “Re: me
>>>>>>>>>> suing
>>>>>>>>>> you and your little dogs too”. There is no indication that the
>>>>>>>>>> letter
>>>>>>>>>> was ever responded to or that a law suit was ever commenced by Mr.
>>>>>>>>>> Amos against Mr. Mulroney. In the circumstances, there is no
>>>>>>>>>> reason
>>>>>>>>>> for Justice Gleason to recuse herself as the letter in question
>>>>>>>>>> does
>>>>>>>>>> not give rise to a reasonable apprehension of bias.
>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>> III.               Issue
>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>> [26]           The issue on the cross-appeal is as follows: Did
>>>>>>>>>> the
>>>>>>>>>> Judge err in setting aside the Prothonotary’s Order striking the
>>>>>>>>>> Claim
>>>>>>>>>> in its entirety without leave to amend and in determining that Mr.
>>>>>>>>>> Amos’ allegation that the RCMP barred him from the New Brunswick
>>>>>>>>>> legislature in 2004 was capable of supporting a cause of action?
>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>> IV.              Analysis
>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>> A.                 Standard of Review
>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>> [27]           Following the Judge’s decision to set aside the
>>>>>>>>>> Prothonotary’s Order, this Court revisited the standard of review
>>>>>>>>>> to
>>>>>>>>>> be applied to discretionary decisions of prothonotaries and
>>>>>>>>>> decisions
>>>>>>>>>> made by judges on appeals of prothonotaries’ decisions in Hospira
>>>>>>>>>> Healthcare Corp. v. Kennedy Institute of Rheumatology, 2016 FCA
>>>>>>>>>> 215,
>>>>>>>>>> 402 D.L.R. (4th) 497 [Hospira]. In Hospira, a five-member panel of
>>>>>>>>>> this Court replaced the Aqua-Gem standard of review with that
>>>>>>>>>> articulated in Housen v. Nikolaisen, 2002 SCC 33, [2002] 2 S.C.R.
>>>>>>>>>> 235
>>>>>>>>>> [Housen]. As a result, it is no longer appropriate for the Federal
>>>>>>>>>> Court to conduct a de novo review of a discretionary order made by
>>>>>>>>>> a
>>>>>>>>>> prothonotary in regard to questions vital to the final issue of
>>>>>>>>>> the
>>>>>>>>>> case. Rather, a Federal Court judge can only intervene on appeal
>>>>>>>>>> if
>>>>>>>>>> the prothonotary made an error of law or a palpable and overriding
>>>>>>>>>> error in determining a question of fact or question of mixed fact
>>>>>>>>>> and
>>>>>>>>>> law (Hospira at para. 79). Further, this Court can only interfere
>>>>>>>>>> with
>>>>>>>>>> a Federal Court judge’s review of a prothonotary’s discretionary
>>>>>>>>>> order
>>>>>>>>>> if the judge made an error of law or palpable and overriding error
>>>>>>>>>> in
>>>>>>>>>> determining a question of fact or question of mixed fact and law
>>>>>>>>>> (Hospira at paras. 82-83).
>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>> [28]           In the case at bar, the Judge substituted his own
>>>>>>>>>> assessment of Mr. Amos’ Claim for that of the Prothonotary. This
>>>>>>>>>> Court
>>>>>>>>>> must look to the Prothonotary’s Order to determine whether the
>>>>>>>>>> Judge
>>>>>>>>>> erred in law or made a palpable and overriding error in choosing
>>>>>>>>>> to
>>>>>>>>>> interfere.
>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>> B.                 Did the Judge err in interfering with the
>>>>>>>>>> Prothonotary’s Order?
>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>> [29]           The Prothontoary’s Order accepted the following
>>>>>>>>>> paragraphs from the Crown’s submissions as the basis for striking
>>>>>>>>>> the
>>>>>>>>>> Claim in its entirety without leave to amend:
>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>> 17.       Within the 96 paragraph Statement of Claim, the
>>>>>>>>>> Plaintiff
>>>>>>>>>> addresses his complaint in paragraphs 14-24, inclusive. All but
>>>>>>>>>> four
>>>>>>>>>> of those paragraphs are dedicated to an incident that occurred in
>>>>>>>>>> 2006

>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>> [30]           The Judge determined that he could not strike the

>>>>>>>>>> on the same jurisdictional basis as the Prothonotary. The Judge
>>>>>>>>>> noted
>>>>>>>>>> that the Federal Court has jurisdiction over claims based on the
>>>>>>>>>> liability of Federal Crown servants like the RCMP and that the
>>>>>>>>>> actors
>>>>>>>>>> who barred Mr. Amos from the New Brunswick legislature in 2004
>>>>>>>>>> included the RCMP (Federal Court Judgment at para. 23). In
>>>>>>>>>> considering
>>>>>>>>>> the viability of these allegations de novo, the Judge identified
>>>>>>>>>> paragraph 14 of the Claim as containing “some precision” as it
>>>>>>>>>> identifies the date of the event and a RCMP officer acting as
>>>>>>>>>> Aide-de-Camp to the Lieutenant Governor (Federal Court Judgment at
>>>>>>>>>> para. 27).
>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>> [31]           The Judge noted that the 2004 event could support a
>>>>>>>>>> cause of action in the tort of misfeasance in public office and
>>>>>>>>>> identified the elements of the tort as excerpted from Meigs v.
>>>>>>>>>> Canada,
>>>>>>>>>> 2013 FC 389, 431 F.T.R. 111:
>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>> [13]      As in both the cases of Odhavji Estate v Woodhouse, 2003
>>>>>>>>>> SCC
>>>>>>>>>> 69 [Odhavji] and Lewis v Canada, 2012 FC 1514 [Lewis], I must
>>>>>>>>>> determine whether the plaintiffs’ statement of claim pleads each
>>>>>>>>>> element of the alleged tort of misfeasance in public office:
>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>> a) The public officer must have engaged in deliberate and unlawful
>>>>>>>>>> conduct in his or her capacity as public officer;
>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>> b) The public officer must have been aware both that his or her
>>>>>>>>>> conduct was unlawful and that it was likely to harm the plaintiff;
>>>>>>>>>> and
>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>> c) There must be an element of bad faith or dishonesty by the
>>>>>>>>>> public
>>>>>>>>>> officer and knowledge of harm alone is insufficient to conclude
>>>>>>>>>> that
>>>>>>>>>> a
>>>>>>>>>> public officer acted in bad faith or dishonestly.
>>>>>>>>>> Odhavji, above, at paras 23, 24 and 28
>>>>>>>>>> (Federal Court Judgment at para. 28).
>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>> [32]           The Judge determined that Mr. Amos disclosed
>>>>>>>>>> sufficient
>>>>>>>>>> material facts to meet the elements of the tort of misfeasance in
>>>>>>>>>> public office because the actors, who barred him from the New
>>>>>>>>>> Brunswick legislature in 2004, including the RCMP, did so for
>>>>>>>>>> “political reasons” (Federal Court Judgment at para. 29).
>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>> [33]           This Court’s discussion of the sufficiency of
>>>>>>>>>> pleadings
>>>>>>>>>> in Merchant Law Group v. Canada (Revenue Agency), 2010 FCA 184,
>>>>>>>>>> 321
>>>>>>>>>> D.L.R (4th) 301 is particularly apt:
>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>> …When pleading bad faith or abuse of power, it is not enough to
>>>>>>>>>> assert, baldly, conclusory phrases such as “deliberately or
>>>>>>>>>> negligently,” “callous disregard,” or “by fraud and theft did
>>>>>>>>>> steal”.
>>>>>>>>>> “The bare assertion of a conclusion upon which the court is called
>>>>>>>>>> upon to pronounce is not an allegation of material fact”. Making
>>>>>>>>>> bald,
>>>>>>>>>> conclusory allegations without any evidentiary foundation is an
>>>>>>>>>> abuse
>>>>>>>>>> of process…
>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>> To this, I would add that the tort of misfeasance in public office
>>>>>>>>>> requires a particular state of mind of a public officer in
>>>>>>>>>> carrying
>>>>>>>>>> out the impunged action, i.e., deliberate conduct which the public
>>>>>>>>>> officer knows to be inconsistent with the obligations of his or
>>>>>>>>>> her
>>>>>>>>>> office. For this tort, particularization of the allegations is
>>>>>>>>>> mandatory. Rule 181 specifically requires particularization of
>>>>>>>>>> allegations of “breach of trust,” “wilful default,” “state of mind
>>>>>>>>>> of
>>>>>>>>>> a person,” “malice” or “fraudulent intention.”
>>>>>>>>>> (at paras. 34-35, citations omitted).
>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>> [34]           Applying the Housen standard of review to the
>>>>>>>>>> Prothonotary’s Order, we are of the view that the Judge interfered
>>>>>>>>>> absent a legal or palpable and overriding error.
>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>> [35]           The Prothonotary determined that Mr. Amos’ Claim
>>>>>>>>>> disclosed no reasonable claim and was fundamentally vexatious on
>>>>>>>>>> the
>>>>>>>>>> basis of jurisdictional concerns and the absence of material facts
>>>>>>>>>> to
>>>>>>>>>> ground a cause of action. Paragraph 14 of the Claim, which
>>>>>>>>>> addresses
>>>>>>>>>> the 2004 event, pleads no material facts as to how the RCMP
>>>>>>>>>> officer
>>>>>>>>>> engaged in deliberate and unlawful conduct, knew that his or her
>>>>>>>>>> conduct was unlawful and likely to harm Mr. Amos, and acted in bad
>>>>>>>>>> faith. While the Claim alleges elsewhere that Mr. Amos was barred
>>>>>>>>>> from
>>>>>>>>>> the New Brunswick legislature for political and/or malicious
>>>>>>>>>> reasons,
>>>>>>>>>> these allegations are not particularized and are directed against
>>>>>>>>>> non-federal actors, such as the Sergeant-at-Arms of the
>>>>>>>>>> Legislative
>>>>>>>>>> Assembly of New Brunswick and the Fredericton Police Force. As
>>>>>>>>>> such,
>>>>>>>>>> the Judge erred in determining that Mr. Amos’ allegation that the
>>>>>>>>>> RCMP
>>>>>>>>>> barred him from the New Brunswick legislature in 2004 was capable
>>>>>>>>>> of
>>>>>>>>>> supporting a cause of action.
>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>> [36]           In our view, the Claim is made up entirely of bare
>>>>>>>>>> allegations, devoid of any detail, such that it discloses no
>>>>>>>>>> reasonable cause of action within the jurisdiction of the Federal
>>>>>>>>>> Courts. Therefore, the Judge erred in interfering to set aside the
>>>>>>>>>> Prothonotary’s Order striking the claim in its entirety. Further,
>>>>>>>>>> we
>>>>>>>>>> find that the Prothonotary made no error in denying leave to
>>>>>>>>>> amend.
>>>>>>>>>> The deficiencies in Mr. Amos’ pleadings are so extensive such that
>>>>>>>>>> amendment could not cure them (see Collins at para. 26).
>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>> V.                 Conclusion
>>>>>>>>>> [37]           For the foregoing reasons, we would allow the
>>>>>>>>>> Crown’s
>>>>>>>>>> cross-appeal, with costs, setting aside the Federal Court
>>>>>>>>>> Judgment,
>>>>>>>>>> dated January 25, 2016 and restoring the Prothonotary’s Order,
>>>>>>>>>> dated

>>>>>>> Published Thursday May 24th, 2007
>>>>>>> Appeared on page A1
>>>>>>> An RCMP security detail has been guarding Justice Minister and
>>>>>>> Attorney General T.J. Burke because of threats made against him
>>>>>>> recently.
>>>>>>>
>>>>>>> Burke, the Liberal MLA for Fredericton-Fort Nashwaaksis, wouldn't
>>>>>>> explain the nature of the threats.
>>>>>>>
>>>>>>> "I have had a particular individual or individuals who have made
>>>>>>> specific overtures about causing harm towards me," he told reporters
>>>>>>> Wednesday.
>>>>>>>
>>>>>>> "The RCMP has provided security to me recently by accompanying me to
>>>>>>> a
>>>>>>> couple of public functions where the individual is known to reside or
>>>>>>> have family members in the area," said Burke. "It is nice to have
>>>>>>> some
>>>>>>> added protection and that added comfort."
>>>>>>>
>>>>>>> The RCMP provides protection to the premier and MLAs with its VIP
>>>>>>> security
>>>>>>> unit.
>>>>>>>
>>>>>>> Burke didn't say when the threat was made but it's believed to have
>>>>>>> been in recent weeks.
>>>>>>>
>>>>>>> "When a threat is posed to you and it is a credible threat, you have
>>>>>>> to be cautious about where you go and who you are around," he said.
>>>>>>> "But again, I am more concerned about my family as opposed to my own
>>>>>>> personal safety."
>>>>>>>
>>>>>>> Burke said he doesn't feel any differently and he has not changed his
>>>>>>> pattern of activity.
>>>>>>>
>>>>>>> "It doesn't bother me one bit," he said. "It makes my wife feel awful
>>>>>>> nervous."
>>>>>>>
>>>>>>> Burke served in an elite American military unit before becoming a
>>>>>>> lawyer and going into politics in New Brunswick.
>>>>>>>
>>>>>>> "(I) have taken my own precautions and what I have to do to ensure my
>>>>>>> family's safety," he said. "I am a very cautious person in general
>>>>>>> due
>>>>>>> to my background and training.
>>>>>>>
>>>>>>> "I am comfortable with defending myself or my family if it ever had
>>>>>>> to
>>>>>>> happen."
>>>>>>>
>>>>>>> Burke said it is not uncommon for politicians to have security
>>>>>>> concerns.
>>>>>>>
>>>>>>> "We do live unfortunately in an age and in a society now where
>>>>>>> threats
>>>>>>> have to be taken pretty seriously," he said.
>>>>>>>
>>>>>>> Since the terrorism attacks in the United States on Sept. 11, 2001,
>>>>>>> security in New Brunswick has been
>>>>>>> beefed up.
>>>>>>>
>>>>>>> Metal detectors were recently installed in the legislature and all
>>>>>>> visitors are screened.
>>>>>>>
>>>>>>> The position of attorney general is often referred to as the
>>>>>>> province's "top cop."
>>>>>>>
>>>>>>> Burke said sometimes people do not differentiate between his role as
>>>>>>> the manager of the justice system and the individual who actually
>>>>>>> prosecutes them.
>>>>>>>
>>>>>>> "With the job sometimes comes threats," he said. "I have had numerous
>>>>>>> threats since Day 1 in office."
>>>>>>>
>>>>>>> Burke said he hopes his First Nations heritage has nothing to do with
>>>>>>> it.
>>>>>>>
>>>>>>> "I think it is more of an issue where people get fixated on a matter
>>>>>>> and they believe you are personally responsible for assigning them
>>>>>>> their punishment or their sanction," he said.
>>>>>>>
>>>>>>> Is the threat from someone who was recently incarcerated?
>>>>>>>
>>>>>>> "I probably shouldn't answer that," he replied.
>>>>>>>
>>>>>>> Reporters asked when the threat would be over.
>>>>>>>
>>>>>>> "I don't think a threat ever passes once it has been made," said
>>>>>>> Burke. "You have to consider the credibility of the source."
>>>>>>>
>>>>>>> Bruce Fitch, former justice minister in the Conservative government,
>>>>>>> said "every now and again there would be e-mails that were not
>>>>>>> complimentary."
>>>>>>>
>>>>>>> "I did have a meeting with the RCMP who are in charge of the security
>>>>>>> of the MLAs and ministers," said Fitch.
>>>>>>>
>>>>>>> "They look at each and every situation."
>>>>>>>
>>>>>>> Fitch said he never had bodyguards assigned to him although former
>>>>>>> premier Bernard Lord and former health minister Elvy Robichaud did
>>>>>>> have extra security staff assigned on occasion.
>>>>>>>
>>>>>>> He said if any MLA felt threatened, he or she would discuss it with
>>>>>>> the
>>>>>>> RCMP.
