Indigenous lawyer FORCED OUT after CBC attacks his “libertarian” beliefs
Lawyer who posted Black Lives Matter 'leftist lie' video resigns from Alberta judicial vetting committee
'Members are not required to surrender their right to personal views,' justice minister says
Criminal defence lawyer Leighton Grey's numerous online posts included opinions that legal and anti-racism experts said should disqualify him from being on the Provincial Court Nominating Committee (PCNC).
"I do not accept this resignation decision lightly. Mr. Grey is a successful Indigenous lawyer with an exemplary record of service," Alberta Justice Minister Doug Schweitzer said in a statement Friday.
"I also do not make judgments on Mr. Grey's ability to carry out his professional duties in practising law."
CBC asked several legal and anti-racist experts to review Grey's social media posts and blogs, including Tom Engel, who chairs the policing committee for the Edmonton-based Criminal Trial Lawyers' Association in Alberta.
"My overall impression is that Mr. Grey is on the outer fringe of the right wing and just has no place on a committee ... that is in charge of screening," Engel said.
Bernie Farber, chair of the Canadian Anti-Hate Network, said he was "disturbed on the basis of just pure humanity" when reviewing Grey's commentaries and posts.
"Our expectation is that our government will go through a process to pick the people that are most fair, that are most equitable," Farber said. "The views posted in Mr. Grey's blog, in my view, are extreme."

CBC News reached out to Grey and his law firm several times in recent weeks, but he did not reply to requests for comment.
Lawyer says he's libertarian
Grey has previously been criticized online for his views, and responded to defend his positions.
"I have nothing to do with the alt right. I am a libertarian, which means I may disagree with what you say, but would defend to the death your right to say it," Grey responded online to one critique on LinkedIn in the last week. "I therefore disagree with your criticism of me, but respect your right to voice it."
The justice minister declined an interview. In his statement on Friday, Schweitzer said Grey offered his resignation voluntarily so as not to distract from the committee's work.
"Work on the Committee is far from a full-time job, and members are not required to surrender their right to personal views or commentary," the minister's statement said.
Schweitzer said he was only recently alerted to posts Grey made after his appointment on April 29. However, CBC identified blog posts written by Grey prior to his appointment and shared those with the minister's office weeks ago.
Engel said the fact that Grey made such comments prior to his appointment suggests Alberta officials either did not do adequate background checks, or were not concerned when they did.
"The whole process for screening candidates for the judiciary, the provincial court, has in my view been corrupted," Engel said. "This is an example of it."

Schweitzer appointed Grey to a three-year term on the Provincial Court Nominating Committee as part of an overhaul of the committee's membership. The nominating committee is responsible for reviewing applications from Albertans who wish to become judges. Its members contact references and conduct interviews before recommending candidates to an eligibility list, from which the justice minister selects new judges.
In a CBC investigation earlier this week, governance and judiciary experts criticized Schweitzer's appointments for including a majority of political supporters and for not being done through an open hiring process.
Grey, a senior partner at Grey Wowk Spencer LLP in Cold Lake, is the only criminal defence lawyer on the PCNC.
Several articles Grey recently posted promoted false information and conspiracy theories based on racism and anti-Semitism.
CBC took screenshots of dozens of Grey's posts before he took down his LinkedIn account last week.
For example, Grey re-posted a claim that billionaire philanthropist George Soros, who is a Holocaust survivor, conspired to financially manipulate judges on the European Court of Human Rights. Grey also posted a video that alleged Black Lives Matter "has been hijacked and funded by Soros for his own evil agenda."
Earlier this month, Grey reposted this Russia Today article that
falsely claims Soros is linked to European human rights judges.

Critical of pandemic response
Before his appointment, Grey also wrote blog posts on legalmatterscanada.ca about coronavirus and personal freedoms. In one, he compared Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's pandemic response to the actions of the Nazi Party before the Second World War.
He wrote about how Trudeau and provincial officials had discussed whether to invoke the Emergencies Act, which would give sweeping powers to the federal government. Grey wrote that part of the Emergencies Act "looks an awful lot like its Nazi cousin."
In another post about a potential COVID-19 vaccine, Grey wrote, "The tech Messiah, Bill Gates would have every single man, woman, and child vaccinated and digitally marked, like a tattoo at Auschwitz."
Farber said "comparing the [pandemic] legislation to Adolf Hitler's legislation during the development of racial laws that led to the deaths of millions — never mind six million Jewish men, women and children — is simply an outrage."
Isaac Saney, an African Canadian historian at Dalhousie University who has reviewed Grey's posts, calls them "racist" and "backward."
Saney noted that several of Grey's posts referenced the killing of George Floyd by a Minneapolis police officer, which launched protests for action on systemic racism across North America. Grey disparaged Floyd as sexually promiscuous and disputed the frequency of anti-Black violence.

The posts "seem to be articulating some of the most retrogressive white supremacist ideas that exist out there," Saney said. "Somebody of that nature should not be appointing judges and should be removed from having that kind of very important position in society."
Tasked to consider diverse judiciary
Leighton's law firm website says he is status Indian. The justice ministry's biography of Grey described the lawyer as having acted for more than 200 Indigenous residential school claimants through alternative dispute resolution and independent assessment process hearings. Grey also sits as an adjudicator for the Law Society of Alberta and holds a Queen's Counsel designation.
When Grey announced his appointment to the PCNC on LinkedIn in April, he promised to disregard diversity when doing his work.
When Alberta appointed seven new judges earlier this year, Grey critiqued their gender on LinkedIn. (Leighton Grey/LinkedIn)
"I shall consider it my mission to help select the most qualified candidates, regardless of their race, gender, age, religion, sexual orientation or political affiliation," Grey wrote on LinkedIn. "In short, I pledge to have no regard for identity politics of any kind. Lady Justice does wear a blindfold after all."
Part of the PCNC's mandate, developed by the former NDP government, is to consider diversity when selecting judicial candidates.
Shortly before Grey joined the committee, Alberta's justice minister appointed seven new judges, five of whom were women.
"If Lady Justice is truly blind," Grey wrote at the time, "then why does she see gender?"
Questions about judgment
Evan McIntyre, a director with the Criminal Trial Lawyers' Association, said his organization believes the Alberta government should reassess the suitability of all new PCNC appointees, given Grey's views.
"The question has to be raised whether they were aware of these posts," McIntyre said.
Justice Ministry spokesperson Jonah Mozeson said in an earlier email that the ministry rejects the characterization that the blogs would cause some to question Grey's judgment. He also noted the federal government's proposed use of the Emergencies Act was "widely panned at the time."

"It would certainly be unfortunate for the CBC to malign an accomplished First Nations lawyer for advocating checks and balances on state power," Mozeson wrote.
Farber, who has studied hate and radicalization for decades, said the frequency and thoroughness of Grey's posts and blogs suggest the lawyer firmly holds these beliefs, which Farber characterized as racist, anti-Semitic and extreme.
Grey's law firm website details his concerns with "identity politics," "radical feminism" and "indiscriminate mass immigration," among other issues.
Minister defends appointments
After the CBC investigation, the NDP raised the PCNC appointments in Question Period. MLA Ifran Sabir asked the justice minister about Grey's beliefs.
"Does the premier share [Grey's] sexist opinion that there are too many women being appointed as judges in Alberta?" Sabir said. "And if not, will he condemn it right now?"
Schweitzer did not condemn Grey's opinion. "This line of questioning is absolutely disgusting," the minister said.
Schweitzer then pointed out, as CBC reported, that a former PCNC member appointed by the NDP had connections to that party. He said his government had "refreshed" the committee by replacing the members.
The following day, the NDP asked again about the PCNC.
Schweitzer again defended the appointments and noted the committee included, "an Indigenous lawyer who is a leader in his community," a reference to Grey.
Isaac Saney said the fact that the minister defended Grey illustrates a larger issue with the justice system in Alberta.
"This is not just simply a problem with Mr. Grey. We can't just reduce it to one individual," Saney said. "It's a systemic issue, and that requires very significant policy and structural and systemic change."

CEASE & DESIST SERVED TO CORE FEDERAL DEPARTMENTS
Wednesday, January 26, 2022
FEDS FOR FREEDOM
FOR IMMEDIATE PRESS RELEASE
This notice is to inform the press and the public at large, that today the President, Secretary and Chief Human Resources Officer of the Treasury Board (the official employer of federal public servants) have been served with a Cease and Desist letter regarding the federal vaccination mandate for public servants.
Today, January 26th 2022, the lawyers for Feds For Freedom, a not-for-profit advocacy organization for public servants, served The Honorable Mona Fortier, Peter Wallace, Christine Donughue along with all Departmental Ministers of the Core Public Service Administration under the Treasury Board Secretariat. These documents put the individuals served on notice that the federal vaccine mandates are unjustifiable, unconstitutional and criminal in nature. Feds For Freedom maintains that bodily autonomy and informed consent, free of coercion, intimidation or bullying are fundamental rights that are inviolable. The consequences laid out by legal counsel include, but are not limited to:
- Numerous charter rights challenges;
- Legal action against the Government of Canada; and
- Applications seeking injunctive relief and punitive damages.
As federal public servants, we have had our livelihoods stripped from
us; we have endured unprecedented amounts stress and hardships. We have
been harassed, ridiculed, mocked and had hatred and violence incited
against us. This type of abusive behavior cannot and will not be
tolerated; we expect and request an expeditious response.
Conclusion
(1) All of the scientific data show that the Covid-19 virus poses no serious health risk
to 99.97% of Canadians, and that nearly all deaths directly attributable to the
virus occur in persons over 80 years of age suffering from multiple co-morbidities
and compromised immune systems. The risk of serious illness or death to
persons under the age of 50 remains vanishingly low;
(2) The best scientific data available shows that there is but a 0.7% risk of
asymptomatic spread of the Covid-19 virus—even among persons living in the
same household;
(3) There are no scientific data to support the conclusion that the Covid-19 vaccines
have had any impact upon reducing the spread of the virus. In fact, Israel is the
most universally vaccinated nation in the world, and yet is experiencing a huge
spike in new cases;
(4) There are many reasonable and practical alternatives to mandatory vaccination
that would be more effective at controlling spread of the virus. The Government
of Canada employees, all of which are far less prejudicial than summary
termination of loyal employees exercising their human right and civil liberty to
refuse the vaccine;
(5) On 11 November 2021, in Electrical Safety Authority ("ESA") and Power Workers
Union (the "Union") , Arbitrator Stout Chief Arbitrator John Stout found at
paragraph 36:
In my view, disciplining or discharging an employee for failing to be
vaccinated, when it is not a requirement of being hired and where there is
a reasonable alternative, is unjust. Employees do not park their individual
rights at the door when they accept employment. While an employer has
the right to manage their business, in the absence of a specific statutory
authority or specific provision in the collective agreement, an employer
cannot terminate an employee for breach of a rule unless it meets the
KVP test and found to be a reasonable exercise of management rights.
(6) Mandating employees to take the Covid-19 vaccine violates the fundamental
tenet of medicine known as informed consent, and the Hippocratic medical
maxim - “do no harm”; and
(7) In a recent Ontario Supreme Court case cited as Coutinho v. Ocular Health
Centre Ltd., 2021 ONSC 3076, Justice David Broad found that Ontario’s
Infectious Disease Emergency Leave Regulation (IDEL) enacted at the onset of
the pandemic, does not take away a laid-off employees common-law right to sue
for constructive dismissal. The Plaintiff in that case was placed on an involuntary
unpaid leave of absence by the employer due to COVID-19.
Per the attached Appendices, and for the reasons stated, there is no rational or legal
basis for making Covid-19 vaccination a condition of employment with the Government
of Canada. This violates Provincial, Federal, and International Human Rights statutes,
agreements, and conventions. This is therefore notice to the Government of Canada
that if it proceeds to act upon its threat to suspend without pay, or terminate any of the
named employees whom we represent for the above noted reasons, the following action
shall be taken without any further notice:
1. Legal action shall be commenced against the Government of Canada;
2. Multiple Human Rights Claims shall be filed, alleging violation of ss.7 and 15 of
the Charter and applicable Provincial Human Rights Legislation; and
3. An application shall be brought seeking injunctive relief and punitive damages
against the Government of Canada arising from irreparable damage caused
through violation of the fundamental human rights of the named employees.
We expect that the Government of Canada shall govern itself accordingly. In the
meanwhile, we look forward to hearing from your corporate legal counsel.
Yours truly,
GREY WOWK SPENCER LLP

Subject: Re: On Valentines Day 2017 I discussed NAFTA etc with President Donald J. Trump's lawyer Mr Cohen and reminded them Feb 15, 2024This was sent to me recently. I certainly was not aware of all this info.
I thought you might be interested in reading it.
An article posted in the Buffalo News by Gerry Boley.
Misconceptions in the United States about Canada are quite common. They include: there is always snow in Canada; Canadians are boring, socialists and pacifists; their border is porous and allowed the Sept. 11 terrorists through; or, as the U.S. Ottawa embassy staff suggested to Washington, the country suffers from an inferiority complex. This is a great time to clarify some of these misconceptions and better appreciate a neighbour that the United States at times takes for granted.
With the exception of the occasional glacier, skiing in Canada in the summer just isn't happening. Frigid northern winters, however, have shaped the tough, fun-loving Canadian character. When it is 30-below, the Canucks get their sticks, shovel off the local pond and have a game of shinny hockey.
The harsh winters have also shaped Canadians' sense of humour. Canada has some of the world's greatest comedians, from early Wayne and Shuster, to Rich Little, Jim Carrey, Russel Peters, Seth Rogan, Mike Myers, Leslie Nielsen, John Candy, Martin Short, Eugene Levy and "Saturday Night Live" creator and movie producer Lorne Michaels.
The suggestion that Canadians are soft on terrorism is a myth. The 9/11 Commission reported that terrorists arrived in the United States from outside North America with documents issued to them by the U.S. government, but Canada was initially linked to allowing the terrorists into the U.S. because of laxed border control. The Canadians in Gander countered despicable terrorist acts with love and caring to their U.S. neighbours when planes were diverted there.
Americans glorify war with movies, but it is the Canadians who are often the real "Rambo." The Canadians are anything but pacifists and their history is certainly not dull. Be it on the ice or battlefield, this warrior nation has never lost a war that it fought in... - War of 1812 (versus the United States), World War I, World War II, Korea and Afghanistan. During the '72 Summit Series, Soviet goalie Vladislav Tretiak said, "'The Canadians have great skills and fight to the very end.'"
In hunting the Taliban in Afghanistan, U.S. Commander and Navy SEAL Capt. Robert Harward stated that the Canadian Joint Task Force 2 team was "his first choice for any direct-action mission."
Contrary to Thomas Jefferson's 1812 comment that, "The acquisition of Canada will be a mere matter of marching," the wily Native American leader Tecumseh and Maj. Gen. Isaac Brock captured Brig. Gen. William Hull's Fort Detroit without firing a shot. The Americans never took Quebec and when they burned the Canadian Parliament Buildings at York, the White House was torched in retaliation.
Canada consolidated its status as a warrior nation during World War I battles at Vimy Ridge, Passchendaele, Somme and the Second Battle of Ypres, where soldiers were gassed twice by the Germans but refused to break the line. By the end of the war, the Canadians were the Allies' shock troops.
In the air, four of the top seven World War I aces were Canadians. Crack shots, the names William "Billy" Bishop, Raymond Collishaw, Donald MacLaren and William Barker, with 72, 60, 54 and 53 victories, respectively, were legendary. These were the original Crazy Canucks, who regularly dropped leaflets over enemy airfields advising German pilots that they were coming over at such and such a time, and to come on up. Bishop and Barker won the Victoria Cross, the highest award for gallantry.
The pilot who is credited with shooting down the Red Baron, Manfred von Richthofen, with a little help from the Australian down under, was not Snoopy but Roy Brown from Carleton Place, Ont.
During World War II, Winnipeg native and air ace Sir William Stephenson, the "Quiet Canadian," ran the undercover British Security Coordination under the code name Intrepid. From Rockefeller Center in New York, as a liaison between Franklin Roosevelt and Winston Churchill. Stephenson invented the machine that transferred photos over the wire for the Daily Mail newspaper in 1922. Americans were not aware that the BSC was there or that it was stocked with Canadians secretly working to preserve North American freedom from the Nazis.
Also little known is that Intrepid trained Ian Fleming, author of the James Bond series, at Camp X, the secret spy school near Whitby, Ont. Five future directors of the CIA also received special training there. It is suggested that Fleming's reference to Bond's 007 license to kill status, his gadgetry and the "shaken not stirred" martinis, rumored to be the strongest in North America, came from Stephenson.
When Wild Bill Donovan, head of the U.S. OSS, forerunner of the CIA, presented Intrepid with the Presidential Medal of Merit in 1946, he said, "William Stephenson taught us everything we knew about espionage."
American military writer Max Boot wrote recently in Commentary magazine that Canada is a country that most Americans consider a "dull but slavishly friendly neighbour, sort of like a great St. Bernard." Boot needs to come to Canada, have a Molson Canadian and chat about Canadian history. He owes his freedom to Canucks such as Stephenson and the courageous soldiers and fliers of the world wars who held off the Germans while America struggled with isolationism.
Canadian inventions such as the oxygen mask Martin Baker ejection system, and anti-gravity suit, the forerunner of the astronaut suit, allowed U.S. and other Allied fighter pilots to fly higher, turn tighter and not black out with the resulting G-force. The 32 Canadians from the Avro Arrow team helped build the American space program and were, according to NASA, brilliant to a man. The most brilliant, Jim Chamberlin, chief designer of the Jetliner and Arrow, was responsible for the design and implementation of the Gemini and Apollo space programs.
Although Canadians have had a free, workable medical system for 50 years, they are not socialists and there are not long lineups, as some politicians opposed to Obama care suggest. This writer has had a ruptured appendix, hip replacement, pinned shoulder, blood clot, twist fracture of the fibula and broken foot, and in every case, there was zero cost to me. Canadians have and value a medical system for all Canadians that is free with minimal waits. That is not socialism; that is caring about fellow Canadians.
Americans may be surprised by the Canadian content in their life. Superman - "truth, justice and the American way" - was co-created by Canadian Joe Shuster, the Daily Planet is based on a Toronto newspaper, and the 1978 film's Lois Lane, Margot Kidder, and Superman's father, Glenn Ford, were both Canadians. The captain of the starship Enterprise was Montreal-born William Shatner. Torontonian Raymond Massey played Abraham Lincoln in 1956. And as American as apple pie? Ah, no. The McIntosh apple was developed in Dundela, Ont., in 1811 by John McIntosh.
Many of the sports that Americans excel at are Canadian in origin. James Naismith from Almonte, Ont., invented basketball. The tackling and ball carrying in football were introduced by the Canucks in games between Harvard and McGill in the 1870s. Five-pin bowling is also a Canadian game. Lacrosse is officially Canada's national sport, and hockey - well, Canadians are hockey. And Jackie Robinson called Montreal "the city that enabled me to go to the major leagues."
To make everyone's life easier, Canadians invented Pablum, the electric oven, the telephone, Marquis wheat, standard time, the rotary snowplow, the snowmobile, Plexiglas, oven cleaner, the jolly jumper, the pacemaker, the alkaline battery, the caulking gun, the gas mask, the goalie mask, the zipper, Tetra Packs, IMAX movies and many more.
Canadian inferiority complex? That is another myth. Never pick a fight with a quiet kid in the schoolyard. Never mistake quiet confidence for weakness. Many a bully has learned that the hard way.
Canadians are self-effacing and do not brag. That does not mean we do not know who we are. We are caring but tough, fun-loving but polite and creative, and we share with each other and the world. Our history is exciting but we don't toot our horn. The world does that for us. This is the third year in a row that Canada has been voted the most respected country in the world by the Reputation Institute global survey.
Perhaps once a year around our collective birthdays, Americans can raise a toast to their friendly, confident neighbour in the Great White North.

U.S. tariffs on Canadian goods will come into effect Saturday, White House says
New Brunswickers can expect to feel the pain from tariffs, business leaders say
The White House on Friday said U.S. President Donald Trump's deadline on tariffs still stands as Feb. 1
Jordan Gill · CBC News · Posted: Jan 31, 2025 3:19 PM ASTPresident Donald Trump has threatened to put a 25 per cent tariff on Canadian exports. (Mark Schiefelbein/The Associated Press)
When it comes to the impact New Brunswickers may feel from U.S. President Donald Trump's promised 25 per cent tariff on Canadian exports, Ron Marcolin, Canadian Manufacturers and Exporters' divisional vice president for New Brunswick, said prepare for the worst.
"I think it is going to definitely hurt," said Marcolin.
"Consumers in this province have to realize that they may have sticker shock and ... feel some short term pain."
Marcolin said while some industries, such as oil and gas, forestry and agriculture, will be particularly impacted, no industry is immune.
While tariffs were an issue during the last Trump presidency, specifically on steel and aluminum, their target nature meant some industries were spared the worst.
Ron Marcolin of the Canadian Manufacturers and Exporters Association says people should prepare for the worst. (CBC)
That won't be the case this time around.
"We'll feel the pain — we'll feel it immediately," said Marcolin
Marcolin said while manufacturers can adjust somewhat and sell more goods domestically, in many cases that's not possible.
He said a lot of the manufactured goods in New Brunswick are bespoke to the needs of a particular company, often an American one, so they can't just be sent to other markets.
Many companies have also linked themselves heavily with the U.S. market because of its geographic closeness and appetite for Canadian goods, but manufacturers are exploring other markets.
"This type of threat of tariff, though, allows the business owner in New Brunswick to say, 'OK, let's at least look at other markets and other options," he said.
Marcolin said manufacturers are looking more closely at markets in Mexico, Europe and Asia.
And it's not just manufacturers that will have to deal with tariffs, exporters will also be affected.
Craig Estabrooks, the president and CEO of Port Saint John, said most of export business at the port doesn't go to the United States. (CBC)
Craig Estabrooks, CEO of Port Saint John, said they're working with the province to understand the effect of potential tariffs and what can be done to mitigate the damage.
When it comes to the port, the biggest loser may be the oil businesses.
"The liquid bulk business that is owned and operated by Irving Oil would be a very large exporter to the United States. So that's something we think about a lot," said Estabrooks.
However, it appears the port's growing container business may avoid the brunt of tariffs.
"Our container services today do not export to the United States," said Estabrooks.
"The five container services we have today are north-south to the Caribbean and Latin America and then a lot of trade to Northern Europe and the Mediterranean."
While Canadians will no doubt suffer from any tariffs, so will U.S. consumers, according to Michelle Robichaud, president of the Atlantica Centre for Energy. (Rachel Cave/CBC)
While Canadians will no doubt suffer from any tariffs, so will U.S. consumers, Michelle Robichaud, president of the Atlantica Centre for Energy, said.
Robichaud said a lot of products used in the New England region are produced or finished in the Maritimes, and any increase in price will impact our neighbours to the south.
One place New Englanders are likely to feel the pinch in their pockets is when they gas up.
"Eight out of 10 cars in the northeast U.S. are fuelled by the refined petroleum products that come from Saint John," said Robichaud.
"Ninety per cent of the jet fuel that goes into some extremely busy airports — Boston, Portland — that jet fuel comes from New Brunswick."
Information Morning - Fredericton 13:37Tariff pressuresPresident Donald Trump's tariffs on Canadian imports might be just a few days away. Jeanne Armstrong spoke to Ron Marcolin, the New Brunswick head of Canadian Manufacturers and Exporters, as they brace themselves for what's to come.Robichaud said businesses would likely have tried to move as much product into the U.S. as possible before any tariff goes into effect.
"They have been doing that since Trump was elected, stockpiling as they can," said Robichaud.
"They are preparing for reduced orders out of the U.S. They are preparing for an increase in price."

Trump said there’s nothing we can do about it. His excuses for the tariffs seemed pretty thin so all the attempts to placate him seemed to play to his riff but he wasn’t really serious about a lot of it, imo. He was pulling our chain. I mean, what does fentanyl or immigration really have to do with tariffs? Maybe he was surprised we went for it? The fact that he loves even the word tariffs so much indicates he likes the idea.
The only thing that I see tariffs as good for is to stimulate local industry to expand and create a domestic supply independent of foreign suppliers. That may be his reasoning but he doesn’t like many of us. He has friends here he says, but we call him a bully and we were never very nice or polite to him, especially our media.
And a lot of our rancour was in lock step with the partisans against him in his own country. It was organized and profitable for his opposition, and I mean money. Now he has power again, this is one way to use it to become more independent.

Being friendly and bowing helps. Pence did, and it worked well for him. Except of course for the noose waiting for him at the end. Condolences to the families of the Capitol Police who lost their lives :(

Reply to Bob Leeson
Being nice has a lot to do with reason, in my opinion. It’s a word that has changed significantly over the centuries to mean the opposite of its original meaning. There’s a cut off sometimes but it doesn’t have to be us that forsakes reason and Christian charity, if we actually believe in that. There’s nothing wrong with trying to reason with Trump but trying to run a play around him is foolish imo. We should simply accept what he’s doing and we can become more independent of them when they do it to us. I don’t think reprisals are the answer but it takes all kinds to make a Canada and an America.
I think it’s reasonable to say Jan. 6 was an attempt at a semi hard coup. But so was the convoy in Canada. That’s what we really have to watch out for.
Bob Leeson
Reply to Chris Jones
Recent history (well since Trump has been alive), has shown anyone/anything gets thrown under the bridge when those he uses begin to fail in executing his agenda. Let's not cave into furthering his questionable agenda. It will not work out for us in the end. Canada isn't any more special to him than any other entity he's used to further his goals.
Chris Jones
Reply to Bob Leeson
I agree that we can’t stop the tariffs but maybe states and provinces can work out independent agreements. But to do it federally is more risky. And USA control of our information space means we are still very vulnerable to more soft coups. It took a lot of denigration and calumny and slander but oil and gas, and a USA deep state never loved Trudeau anyway. He had his faults and I’m shut down about them also but they got rid of him, imo, and he was the best of a bad lot, and not too bad. Sometimes that’s all we get.
Bob Leeson
Reply to Chris Jones
Yes, I'm certain your leader would gladly retain her position as governor of her state by making an independent "agreement" with the US. Unlike you, I stand for our nation however, along with the other provinces of our great country.
You guys do you. Good luck!

Well actually it is reasonable to tell you that. It’s the one thing that might be. lol.

Caucus dissent over COVID OK, breaking health rules means expulsion:
Alberta premier
Almost half of the party's 40 backbenchers are publicly condemning a
return to stricter health restrictions
Dean Bennett · The Canadian Press · Posted: Apr 08, 2021 8:39 PM MT
Amid Alberta referendum questions, Houston says Canada is better united
Premier says N.S. doing its part for national unity by pursuing resource development
Nova Scotia Premier Tim Houston says he's not given much thought to whether legislation advanced by his counterpart in Alberta would make it easier for that province to leave Canada, but he believes the country is stronger if it remains united.
"The premier will do what she thinks is right for Albertans. That's what premiers do," Houston told reporters following a news conference Tuesday.
"So I have respect for each of us having our own challenges and responsibilities and trying to find our best way through them."
Alberta Premier Danielle Smith's government recently introduced legislation that would lower the threshold required to get a referendum question before the public.
The bill comes at a time when some Albertans are advocating for the province to separate from Canada to become its own country and Smith has called on Prime Minister Mark Carney to reset the relationship between Ottawa and her province.
Houston said Tuesday he's "focused on a united Canada."
"That's what's best," he said. "The things that are within our control, we'll do those."
- Alberta is changing the rules to make referendums easier. Here's how
- Alberta amends referendum bill as First Nations fear it will trample treaty rights
Houston said his government is doing its part "to maintain natural unity" through a more aggressive advancement of natural resource development opportunities than what's been seen by previous Nova Scotia governments.
"We've looked away while people in the West developed resources," he said. "We're going to address that."
Premier supports pipeline
The Progressive Conservatives recently passed legislation to lift bans on uranium exploration and mining and hydraulic fracturing for onshore natural gas. Houston has also been a vocal supporter for a west-to-east pipeline to move Alberta oil to New Brunswick refineries, along with the need to break down interprovincial trade barriers.
Western Canadians have concerns that deserve to be addressed, said Houston, adding that the best way to do that is as one country.
Houston was asked about the difference in tone he was striking on the potential of a referendum in Alberta and last month when he blasted Bloc Quebecois Leader Yves-François Blanchet for calling Canada an "artificial country."
"I don't think there's any similarities, really. The Bloc leader was pretty clear that he's not interested in a united Canada and that he would stop things that would make Canada stronger, like pipelines," he said.
"I am interested in a united Canada. I think Canadians are, and I believe the premier [of Alberta] is, too."

Ten big questions about Alberta separatism in 2025
The Alberta Prosperity Project’s
Jeffrey Rath shows off the separatist group’s proposed referendum
question in Calgary (source: Facebook
Is Premier Danielle Smith a separatist? Is the UCP a separatist party?
The biggest difference between today’s Alberta separatist push and past efforts is that today’s most vocal separatists are operating within the governing UCP. Premier Danielle Smith gave her tacit public support for these groups in an online video address earlier this month and she knows that any direct effort to try to stop it would turn those groups, which included some of the UCP’s most enthusiastic activists, against her.
Many of those enthusiastic separatists inside the UCP helped topple former Premier Jason Kenney in 2022 and propel Smith to victory in the leadership race that followed. Writer Jen Gerson cleverly described Smith’s situation through one rule of politics: you get ate by the dragon you ride in on.

Ezra Levant
Ezra Levant
Credentials
- Levant holds a commerce degree from the University of Calgary and formerly a law degree from the University of Alberta. He applied to resign from the legal profession in 2016 while facing disciplinary charges over a newspaper column.1 2
Background
Ezra Levant is a Canadian television and radio personality, conservative political activist, and author of Ethical Oil: The Case for Canada’s Oil Sands, the book that popularized the phrase “Ethical Oil,” which is now being used by the conservative government in Canada as justification for the expansion of the Athabasca tar sands.
He is the founder and former publisher of The Western Standard, and formerly ran his own Sun TV program “The Source.” Sun News shut down in 2015 after failing to find a new owner. After Sun Media shut down, Levant moved his reporting to Rebel Media where he is “Rebel Commander.” iPolitics described the site as “the de facto epicenter of Canadian right-leaning political discourse.”3 4 5
In his early years, Levant undertook an internship with the Charles G. Koch Foundation’s Summer Fellowship program in 1994, and then proceeded to work for the Fraser Institute in 1995 where he wrote Youthquake, which argued for smaller government and privatization of the Canada Pension Plan.6
According to a search of the Office of the Commissioner of Lobbying of Canada, from 2009 until 2010, Levant worked as a lobbyist for Rothman’s Incorporated, a manufacturer and distributor of tobacco products.7
Charlottesville Controversy
Controversy hit shortly after The Rebel’s Faith Goldy’s broadcast from the alt-right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia. According to The National Post, Goldy “had spoken sympathetically of a rising ‘white racial consciousness’ and dispassionately about the ‘JQ’ or Jewish question, a longtime obsession of white nationalists.” Maclean’s noted that Goldy repeatedly called marchers on the side of white nationalists “patriots.” She was still broadcasting when a car rammed into the protesters behind her.8 9 10
After Goldy’s coverage, Rebel cofounder Brian Lilley quit and a number of contributors walked away. Lilley announced on a Facebook post that he no longer felt “comfortable” being part of the organization. Levant claimed that he had fired Levant last year.11 12
“What may have started as a concern over the (Rebel’s) harsh tone taken on some subjects came to a head with this weekend’s events in Charlottesville, Virginia,” Lilley said in a Facebook post. Lilley said the protest “was really an anti-Semitic white power rally.”13
Levant said he had no choice but to fire Goldy after she went on a podcast from the white supremacist news site Daily Stormer, which he wrote “was just too far. So we said goodbye.”14
After the events, a number of conservative politicians in Canada including Jason Kenney, Brian Jean, and Andrew Scheer publicly distanced themselves from The Rebel.15
Later that week, Caolan Robertson, formerly one of The Rebel’s U.K. correspondents, posted a YouTube video titled “Why I Left The Rebel Media,” where he played recordings of what he claimed was Levant offering “hush money” to stay quiet regarding aspects of The Rebel. Robertson criticized The Rebel further in the video, saying “The Rebel takes its money from ordinary hardworking people […] But, it also quietly takes a lot of money from less ordinary, more wealthy people.” Note that the original video is no longer on YouTube.16
Levant responded to Robertson’s video, claiming that Robertson and another man were blackmailing him:17
The Washington Times reported on August 21 that the Rebel Media website was “was abruptly terminated for roughly half of his global audience.” A technology company, which Levant did not name, stopped directing traffic to some users internationally. Levant said he was given 24 hours notice and no explanation for the action.18
“If this was a political censorship decision, it is terrifying – like a phone company telling you it is cancelling your phone number on 24 hours notice because it doesn’t like your conversations,” Levant told Reuters.19
During the same week, the advocacy group Press Progress released a report claiming that Levant had received an undisclosed amount of funding from the Middle East Forum in 2015.20
After the events, Levant said the site would not necessarily shut down:21
“I’m a flawed leader who has made mistakes,” he wrote in a post on The Rebel. “But as long as you stand with me, I will still stand.” He added, “I think we need more oversight — not more censorship — just to make sure we’re really being on brand with what we believe, what we stand for.”22
Rebel News & Extremist Groups
The Proud Boys have been described as an extremist group by the Southern Poverty Law Center and in Feb. 2021 were labeled a terrorist group in Canada.23 24
McInnes founded the Proud Boys in 2016. In 2018, McInnes publicly stated that he was “officially disassociating” himself from the far right group shortly after the FBI had categorized the Proud Boys as “an extremist group with ties to white nationalism” in a briefing to Washington state law enforcement.25 26
In a September 2019 interview with Ezra Levant, Proud Boys founder Gavin McInnes said that his early relationship with Rebel News was what helped him become famous. Levant said he had also benefited from that relationship:27
Ezra Levant: [00:00:03] “You really helped build The Rebel in a number of ways. I want to tell you that. I think you know that. You helped us reach beyond guys like me who came up through politics.” [00:00:11]
Gavin McInnes: [00:00:11] “You made me famous, unfortunately, which I don’t like.” [00:00:14]
Ezra Levant: [00:00:15] “Weren’t you famous before?” […]
Gavin McInnes: [00:00:17] “No, I was never recognized before Rebel.” [00:00:19]
Ezra Levant: [00:00:19] “Well, I mean, you did hundreds of videos and you were the star of all the videos. So I guess you became famous.” [00:00:24]
Gavin McInnes: [00:00:24] “No. Yeah, I did hundreds of videos for you, you mean?” [00:00:26]
Ezra Levant: [00:00:26] “Yeah.” [00:00:26]
Gavin McInnes: [00:00:26] “Yeah, yeah, yeah. Before that I did some comedy sketches. I’d get recognized maybe once a week. After the Rebel videos blew up, I am stopped by millennials, mostly white millennial men, five times a day. And they all want a selfie, which is infuriating because what are you doing with that selfie? Like we’re not friends.” [00:00:45]
A search for “Gavin” in Rebel Media’s YouTube page returns over 300 videos.
Gavin McInnes left the Rebel in August 2017.28
“Gavin’s a great friend and a great talent,” Rebel Media founder Ezra Levant told Canadaland in an email. “We tried to keep him, but he was lured away by a major competitor that we just couldn’t outbid.”
According to Canadaland: “McInnes was one of The Rebel’s earliest hosts, joining the company in April 2015, shortly after it launched.”
McInnes published a video titled “10 Things I Hate About Jews”on Rebel News in March, 2017.29
Two days earlier, Rebel News published a video on YouTube titled “What Gavin McInnes really thinks about the Holocaust.”
According to Canadaland, Levant changed the title to “10 Things I Hate About Israel” within 12 hours. “I chose both headlines,” Rebel head Ezra Levant told Canadaland in an email. “I liked the first one because it was provocative; but then I changed it to the second one because it was more descriptive. I should probably have stayed with my first instincts.”30
Rebel reporter Sheila Gunn Reid also appeared on a 2019 podcast alongside a representative from the Calgary chapter of the Proud Boys to discuss “the Antifa and leftist history of assault.”31
This isn’t the only time staff for the Rebel have been tied to far-right extremist groups. Keean Bexte, a journalist at Rebel News was previously found to have worked for the “white supremacist web store” Fireforce Ventures by investigative reporters.32
According to an investigation by Ricochet, the online military surplus store’s “primary focus is the white-minority-rule state of Rhodesia, and its flagship product is a reproduction of the Rhodesian brushstroke, a camouflage pattern developed during Rhodesia’s dirty war against indigenous Africans.”33
“Fireforce personnel use pseudonyms when engaging in company affairs, but a Ricochet investigation has revealed ties to both the Canadian military and the far right,” Ricochet reported.
Bexte confirmed he had worked at the company “doing graphic design and shipping orders” until resigning “a few months” prior to the November 2018 piece.34
Bexte attended the Capitol insurrection in the US on behalf of the Rebel, In a Jan. 11, 2021 video, Bexte calls the insurrection a “disaster, by every measure,” claiming that “99.99 percent” of the protesters had been peaceful.35
In a February 5, 2021 Rebel News podcast, Bexte defended the Proud Boys following the group’s classification as a terrorist group by Canada.36
Stance on Climate Change
June 2017
After Donald Trump announced U.S. withdrawal from the Paris Climate Agreement, Ezra agreed with his decision, but said he didn’t go far enough when he mentioned there was room to renegotiate.37
“”Global warming is designed to scam America, more than any other country,” Levant said in a TheRebel.media video. “That’s not my opinion. That’s a fact.”38
2016
“The world is over 400 parts per million of carbon dioxide and global warming has stopped … it’s paused. There is no correlation between carbon dioxide and global warming. If there was, you would sure see it. But there isn’t, so you don’t.”39
2012
Ezra describes man-made global warming as “a theory that has been cast into disrepute through not only the misconduct of its high priests but by scientific observation itself: There has been no measurable global warming since 1998, according to satellite weather data.”40
Key Quotes
August 2017
After controversy surrounding The Rebel‘s coverage of events in Charlottseville, among other issues, Levant wrote at The Rebel:
“I’m a flawed leader who has made mistakes. But as long as you stand with me, I will still stand.” He added, “I think we need more oversight — not more censorship — just to make sure we’re really being on brand with what we believe, what we stand for.”41
July 2016
“I don’t know if Donald Trump will be the next president. I do know that our key allies are walking away from the global warming mania of the past decade.
Only Trudeau is stupid enough and ideologically malicious enough to destroy our own economy — and Alberta, the province that he and his father have always despised — by using global warming as an excuse…”42
March 2014
“I’m a commentator, I’m a pundit,” he said to the judge. “I don’t think in my entire life I’ve ever called myself a reporter.”43
March 2012
“It is a perverse faith, in that it reveres the “environment” ahead of people who live in it. It is a most ascetic superstition, in that it demands we live less happily and less freely and with less prosperity– the opposite of, say, the Protestant work ethic that helped build Ontario.”44
September 2010
“And if our goal as moral citizens is to make the world a better place, then there is only once choice: to pump as much oil as we possibly can out of Fort McMurray. Pump and steam and dig and drill and get that oil out of the sand in any and every way we can. Every drop of oil from Alberta is one less drop from some fascist theocracy, or some brutal warlord; one less cent into the treasuries of Russia’s secret police and al-Qaeda’s murderers.”45
“The famous statue of Christ the Redeemer that overlooks Rio de Janeiro is only 130 feet tall. McGuinty’s eco-idols [Wind Turbines] will be three times that height, but will serve the same imposing purpose.
“Do not confuse McGuinty’s belief system with a true faith. It is a superstition, the tenets of which are capable of being scientifically disproven.
Ezra Levant’s Social Media Posts on US Insurrection
Levant was among dozens of the individuals and organizations profiled in DeSmog’s Disinformation Database who posted online or gave interviews about the events surrounding the Jan. 6, 2021 Capitol insurrection. Some posted claims of election fraud, similar to those that drove the Stop the Steal rally on Jan. 6. Some circulated dubious information about the insurrection itself. DeSmog has preserved a selection of notable posts related to the events of Jan. 6, 2021, including some that were later deleted or removed.
For example, on Jan. 10, 2021, Levant retweeted a tweet by @Cernovich that compared the Capitol insurrection, where five died, to a 2017 attack where a gunman opened fire on a congressional Republican baseball team practice, striking Rep. Steve Scalise in the hip and wounding several others before being fatally shot himself. Mike Cernovich’s Southern Poverty Law Center’s profile describes him as “one of America’s most visible right-wing provocateurs, known for boosting or generating massively successful conspiracy theories like #Pizzagate. He made his career on trolling the liberal establishment by accusing people of pedophilia or child sex trafficking.”46 47 48 49
Levant retweeted a claim by Andy Ngo that John Earle Sullivan, one of the participants in the Capitol insurrection was a Black Lives Matter activist. On Jan. 16, 2021, the Washington Post published a profile reporting that Sullivan had been disavowed by left-wing organizers long before the insurrection. “Activists in Utah have spent months condemning Sullivan, who has at turns identified himself as a racial justice protester and leftist documentarian, and they have warned others to be leery of his motives and any events he sponsored,” the Post wrote, adding that Sullivan has a history of “alienating activists on both ends of the political spectrum” and had organized a demonstration that “featured members of the Proud Boys, an all-male extremist group with ties to white nationalism.”50

Following Patrick Moore‘s claims he was “deplatformed” from a speech in Regina, Canada, Ezra Levant booked the Conexus Art Center to feature Moore for his cancelled talk.51
Speaking of the event Moore was originally set to speak at, Levant commented:52
“He would have been definitely the star speaker at the conference, but then a cancel culture mob, including city officials and frankly, the local left wing media, they whipped up a fake frenzy and the city absolutely disgraced themselves by reneging on their invitation to him.”
In addition to basic event tickets, Levant also said they were selling an “exclusive VIP wine and cheese reception” as well as a “private dinner with Dr. Moore after the speech.”
August 22, 2017
Ezra Levant interviewed ClimateDepot’s Marc Morano on The Ezra Levant Show. During the interview, Morano said that Steve Bannon’s departure from the White House was a huge loss for climate change deniers.53
Morano: “We’ve lost a major voice. Now, you’re right, Scott Pruitt’s a great voice. Energy Secretary Rick Perry has been a great voice, but it doesn’t change the fact we’ve lost a major skeptic in the White House with influence and power. You guys remember, personnel is power.”
Levant: “That’s a good point. And, as you they say, personnel is policy as well. […]”54
Morano also described his experience while working in the U.S. Senate for Senator James Inhofe. Morano said that he was told by members of his own staff in the Environment & Public Works Committee to “lay off” of pushing climate change skepticism because it was affecting their ability to get jobs, “because Inhofe was being painted as an extremist for denying global warming.”55
“It matters. People don’t want to stand up to the Washington establishment because it means jobs, it means money, it means reputation. And that is why the loss of someone like Bannon has a big impact.”56
June 3, 2017
Shortly after Donald Trump announced he would be withdrawing the U.S. from the Paris Climate agreement, Ezra Levant reported at TheRebel.media that Trump “was right to reject the ‘Global Warming Scam’.” Video below.57
Levant said that Trump “doesn’t go quite far enough in my books,” given his mention of a potential of renegotiating the agreement. “Either the whole thing’s a scam, or it isn’t,” Levant adds. “Global warming is designed to scam America, more than any other country. That’s not my opinion. That’s a fact.”
November 2016
The Financial Post reports that Ezra Levant was successful in his battle with the United Nations to have his staff members accredited to cover the climate change conference in Morocco. While he was granted two spots, Ezra continued to push for a third.58
DeSmog notes that during Levant’s campaign for accreditation, he has repeatedly shown footage from the last major climate change talks in Paris to bolster his case. He claims that the footage shows journalists in the Paris media room “jumping for joy”:59
Levant has told viewers: “Here’s a clip from the UN global warming convention last year showing journalists in the press room cheering.”60
In another Rebel video, Levant says: “The most striking video clip of the entire Paris conference last year was when an international agreement was finally announced and the media room burst into applause and cheering. Some actually jumping for joy – you know, the way objective reporters do.”61
However, DeSmog found that the video shown was not of journalists, and was not filmed in “the media room,” as Levant claimed. Instead the clip shows a side room apart from the media center where civil society groups who campaigned for action on climate change were watching the final moments of the climate talks.62
The clip was originally shared by a passing journalist, Miranda Johnson of The Economist, who confirmed that the Rebel did not seek permission to use her footage, and if it had, would have been refused. Original video below:63

The Rebel is crowfunding its trip to Marrakech. The Rebel writes: “One thing we won’t scrimp on is security, though — especially in a place like Morocco. So we need a driver/handler to make sure we get to and from the conference site each day safely.”
COP22’s website notes that visitors have access to official shuttle buses running 12 routes, each route covered from 6am until midnight and, in peak hours, running every 15 minute. Levant is trying to raise more than CA$27,000 for the India trip, including $14,000 to hire a private security firm.64 65
October 2016
After the United Nations declined accreditation to three of The Rebel’s journalists who planned to cover the climate change conference in Marrakech, Morocco. Ezra Levant launched a petition titled ”Tell the UN to stop blacklisting our journalists!” and argues that the ban is an attack on free speech.66
The journalists Levant planned to send included Sheila Gunn Reid, Alberta bureau chief, Meaghan MacSween, a producer, formerly with Global News and Sun News Network, and Alex Jones also formerly of Sun News Network. According to screenshots shared by Levant, the UN has declined the application because “advocacy media outlets do not qualify for media accreditation.”67
Earlier in September, Desmog attended a screening of Marc Morano’s Climate Hustle in Edmonton, Alberta, where Ezra Levent outlined some of his plans for the upcoming conference in Marrakech. Levant told the audience that “we will be asking questions and turning the camera around to show the other journalists,” to ridicule reporters who he describes as “cheerleaders” for the UN. Answering questions later, Levant said he planned to “put on a disguise” at the conference.68
During a Q&A session following the Climate Hustle screening, Levant says that climate change denier Marc Morano will be an “honorary Rebel journalist” in Morocco. Gunn Reid, one of Levant’s proposed Morocco team, described people who believe in global warming as a “doomsday cult.”69
Levant has described his attempts to get accreditation as a “fight for press freedom.” In an October 19 episode of The Ezra Levant Show, Levant said “There’s no bigger bully than the U.N.”70
December 29, 2015
In an episode of The Ezra Levant Show titled “Best of 2015 – Climate change hysteria,” Levant goes on to show “some of the most inaccurate global warming predictions ever.” Guests include Lorrie Goldstein of the Toronto Sun and prominent climate change denier Marc Morano of ClimateDepot.com.71
“The world is over 400 parts per million of carbon dioxide and global warming has stopped […] it’s paused,” Levant said. “There is no correlation between carbon dioxide and global warming. If there was, you would sure see it. But there isn’t, so you don’t.”72
March 7, 2014
Ezra Levant testified in his defense in his libel suit. The National Post reported that “His evidence-in-chief was part soliloquy, part lecture and all theatre, as befits the man who begins his prime-time, five-days-a-week show on Sun TV with a monologue which, as he told Judge Wendy Matheson, once went on so long ‘we had to cancel the commercials’ because it had morphed into a ‘rant’ of an hour.”73
The Post notes that Ezra, by his own admission, is not a journalist: “I’m a commentator, I’m a pundit,” he said to the judge. “I don’t think in my entire life I’ve ever called myself a reporter.”74
Levant is alleged to have libelled Khurrum Awan, a Saskatchewan lawyer who had been part of a group of Osgoode Hall law students that had made formal hate-speech complaints regarding a Maclean’s magazine cover story bout Muslims. Levant had live-blogged at Awan’s human rights hearing in Vancouver, calling Awan a liar.75
In court, Levant repeated the alleged libels and “used the word ‘liar’ because ‘that’s what it was.’”76
April 2012
Ezra Levant’s EthicalOil.org, which some argue is a lobby organization for the oil industry, accused the David Suzuki Foundation of “Partisan and Political activity,” and demanded that the foundation’s charitable status be reviewed.
The complaint was made in a 44-page letter to the CRA.
March 9, 2011
Ezra Levant and Alykhan Velshi worked together to form the Ethical Oil Institute and its website EthicalOil.org.
DeepClimate prepared an in-depth report on the formation of the “grassroot” organization, and also reveals that both Levant and Velshi shared involvement with the Harper-led conservatives.77
Levant’s other partner at the Institute is Calgary lawyer Thomas Ross, who is a partner at the law firm McLellan Ross and one of the leaders of the firm’s OilSandsLaw.com initiative (“dedicated to working with those operating in the Canadian oil sands”).
The same search lists him as a past lobbyist for “Achieve Energy Services,” a construction management company that specializes in pipeline construction.
DeSmog also reported connections between EthicalOil.org, oil interests, and the Harper Government, as well as other conservative leaders and groups. At the core is “GoNewclear,” a communications agency run by Hamish Marshall, husband of former Ethical Oil spokesperson Kathryn Marshall and a former Conservative campaigner.
EthicalOil.org has been a strong proponent of the Northern Gateway Pipeline Project, and launched the website OurDecision.ca to push for the project’s approval.
EthicalOil.org’s former manager Kathryn Marshall refused to answer the question of whether the Ethical Oil Institute received funding from Enbridge, which many viewed as suggesting a possible connection.
December 2011
Ezra Levant featured well-known climate change skeptic Lord Christopher Monckton, whom Ezra describes as “a bit of a hero of mine” as a guest on his show, The Source. Ezra later describes Monckton as “a bit of a scientist,” not mentioning Monckton’s primary background is in journalism.78 79
Ezra asks Monckton about Britain “foolishly signing on to these foreign treaties like Kyoto…” and goes on to mention a “socialist experiment” and “junk science” in the same statement. He later refers to Monckton’s skepticism of the “pagan faiths of environmentalism.”
Monckton describes the implementation of climate change policies as “taking away our democracy little by little so no one notices until suddenly it’s too late … and that is what I’m trying to stop.”
Monckton is not the only climate change skeptic that Ezra has interviewed on his show. In January, 2012, Levant featured Timothy Ball on his show and discussed Ball’s belief that there has been no global warming since 1998, a debunked argument that has long been popular with climate change skeptics.80
Levant also featured skeptic Tom Harris, previous director of the High Park Group lobbying firm, who believes that the sun is behind climate change (another popular, and largely debunked climate change skeptic talking point).81
September 2010
Ezra Levant published Ethical Oil: The Case for Canada’s Oil Sands, which makes a case for further developing Alberta’s tar sands and sister projects. His book has popularized the concept of “ethical oil” which has been used by the the Conservative government of Stephen Harper and provided the inspiration behind Alykhan Velshi’s “Ethical Oil” campaign in the United States and Canada.
Levant’s basic thesis is that the Canadian petroleum industry is “heads above other crude producers like Saudi Arabia, Libya, Nigeria and Venezuela” which is the equivalent of conflict oil.
According to Levant, “If we actually want to make the world a better place, a more moral place, the ethical thing to do is to pump as much oil as we possibly can out of the oil sands, knowing that every barrel we produce in Canada displaces a fascist barrel from Saudi Arabia, a misogynist barrel from Iran and a dictatorial barrel from Venezuela.”82
Levant also said that “if they [Liberals] believe global warming is an issue, then oilsands oil is superior to other sources of oil, such as California or Venezuela, which both have heavy oil that requires a lot of energy to refine.”83
In response to the book, David Suzuki described Levant as an apologist for the oil industry and argued that “the logic is faulty. Just because a country or society is considered ‘ethical’ does not mean everything it produces or exports is ethical.”84
In the Winnipeg Free Press, John Collins criticized some of Levant’s sources, noting the presence of the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers (CAPP) in the footnotes.85
Patrick Brethour, writing in the Literary Review of Canada, said that Levant “fails to make the case for ethical oil” due to two of his key claims.
First, Levant claims that the environmental footprint of the tar sands is shrinking:
“In reality, the oil sands are more environmentally progressive and emit less waste than all sorts of other common industries in Canada and around the world. In just nineteen years, from 1990 to 2009, the intensity of greenhouse gases (GHGs) from the oil sands has plummeted by 38 per cent.”
Second, he claims that the oil sands are less damaging than other kinds of oil:
“Alberta’s so-called carbon footprint is actually less of an issue than many other kinds of oil being produced around the world. Relative to other sources of petroleum, the oil sands look better and better all the time.”
Neither of these claims is entirely true, as the oil sands generate more carbon emissions than comparable sources of crude oil, and its emissions are expected to rise in the decades to come.86
An “Ethical Oil Echo Chamber” has developed since the book was published in 2010. It started with Sun Media which featured excerpts from Levant’s book which gave it national exposure.87
Then bloggers like Alykhan Velshi spread the message. Velshi also partnered with Levant in forming the Ethical Oil Institute and the Ethicaloil.org website. The concept then reached politicians like Stephen Harper.
The Ethical Oil campaign has become so pervasive that their advertisements have even appeared on Oprah Winfrey’s television network.
November 2010
Ezra Levant was ordered by a judge to pay $25,000 to Giacomo Vignal, a Canadian Human Rights Commission lawyer, for libeling him with “reckless indifference” to the truth in blog posts about a major hate speech case.88
September 2010
Levant wrote a column for Sun Media that strongly attacked George Soros’s character and alleged that as a child he collaborated with the Nazis.89
Soros threatened to sue Sun Media for libel, and on September 18 they issued a retraction and apology to Soros.
February 2006
Ezra Levant’s Western Standard published the Jyllands-Posten Muhammad cartoons depicting Muhammad.
The Alberta Human Rights and Citizenship Commission received complaints from the Islamic Supreme Council of Canada and from the Edmonton Council of Muslim Communities regarding the publication, and a hearing was scheduled for January, 2008.
On the day of the hearing, Levant republished the cartoons on his website.90
Both complaints were eventually dropped.91

Alberta Prosperity Project
Alberta Prosperity Project (APP)
Background
The Alberta Prosperity Project (APP) describes itself as “a not-for-profit, non-partisan educational society, uniting all Albertans, businesses, and organizations to protect their prosperity, interests, freedoms, rights, and self-determination.1
“Our vision is for the prosperity, individual freedoms and rights of all Albertans to be protected by a new ‘Constitution of Alberta’ that recognizes the Supremacy of God* as foundational to Civil Society and the Rule of Law […],” APP notes on its about page.2
According to APP’s CEO Dennis Modry, speaking at an event hosted by Ezra Levant’s Rebel News, as of December 2022 the group had created 140 “educational chapters” throughout Alberta. He suggested the goal of APP was to “create the conditions for a citizens initiative to meet the threshold to force the government to hold a referendum on independence.” He concluded, “We have to do something because what’s happening to us with the WEF [World Economic Forum] U.N. agenda and the socialist Marxist vortex that we’re being sucked into has to be stopped.”3
“We can do two things. We can influence the outcome of the election, because we’re all aligned philosophically on what needs to happen. That’s number one. But number two, we have the clout now to force the Citizens Initiative Act, a referendum on Alberta independence. So that’s how the Alberta Prosperity Project can influence in the right direction the future for Alberta and maybe the rest of Canada,” Modry said in the Q&A.4
Modry is a former cardiovascular and thoracic surgeon whose open letter to Jason Kenney on the provincial response to COVID-19 was deemed to contain several “false or unproven” statements by health experts, according to an AFP fact check, and invoked an official response from the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Alberta (CPSA).5
APP member and frequent webcast host Chris Scott is the owner of the Whistle Stop Cafe, which has been described as “a centrepiece for defiance against COVID-19 public health measures” in Alberta.6
The APP’s first organized meeting was reportedly in Nisku, Alberta, on May 23, 2021 and included Doug Eliznga, Bob Blayone, Rodger Hodgkinson, Dennis Modry, Chris Scott, among others.7
Support from Alberta Premier Danielle Smith
Alberta Premier Danielle Smith attended a leadership debate hosted by the Alberta Prosperity Project and Ezra Levant’s Rebel News in August 2022.
“So part of when I decided I wanted to run [for Alberta premier], I knew how important it was to make sure that we addressed the issues of autonomy,” Smith said at the event. “And I talked to Dr. Modry as one of my first steps. I said, ‘let’s try this together.’”8
In the debate, Smith suggested its members would have the ability to pressure the federal government through the APP’s membership towards a goal such as Alberta’s separation from Canada.
“This is why I take your movement very, very seriously,” she said at the debate. “And why Justin Trudeau should take it very, very seriously, too.”
Dennis Modry said he had spoken to Danielle Smith “on multiple occasions.”9
Stance on Climate Change
December 7, 2022
“There’s a series of conversations here. One of them is, is carbon dioxide a detriment to the planet or is it a benefit? That’s an entire conversation on its own. Then there’s this other conversation about what policies do we need to enact in order to deal with the answer to question number one? But question number one hasn’t even been answered yet,” APP member Chris Scott commented in a conversation with Robert Lyman, a regular contributor at Friends of Science.10
[…]
“These NGOs have come in and they have created this parade by doing protests, by misinformation, by using horribly flawed computer climate models. You name it. Ad campaigns, whatever. … They just pander to the wacko greenie environmentalists’ demands, no matter how outrageous they are,” Chris Scott added later in the interview.
“[…] Human flourishing should be the goal, not net zero. In my opinion.”
October 26, 2022
“Why is it that the conversation about Alberta oil is always a negative one and the conversation about the green scheme, or the green scam as I call it, that always is spun in a positive way? And what I’ve discovered is that if you look at who’s benefiting with either scenario. Alberta energy: Albertans benefit. We benefit greatly, and so does the rest of the country. With the green initiatives, the people that benefit are those who receive subsidies and grants, etc., from the government. Money from our pockets to shift into their pockets because they’re pushing a fairy tale ideology that can’t replace what they’re trying to vilify,” APP member Chris Scott suggested to Friends of Science’s Michelle Sterling during a webinar titled “My Tar Sands Tipping Point with CBC.”11
October 23, 2022
“All of us, at least a growing number of us, are starting to realize that this climate change agenda is a scam. It’s an absolute scam. It has no base in science. The science they used to perpetrate this on us is junk science,” APP member Chris Scott said in a conversation with APP CEO Dennis Modry.12
Modry responded:
“Yeah, there’s something very important here to understand. The narrative changed from global warming when it was evident that there was insignificant global warming. It wasn’t occurring. They shifted the narrative to climate change. Well, the climate has been changing for millennia. So the fact that they’re using that terminology should twig you to realize the invalidity of the argument.”
Modry went on to promote Alex Epstein, who would later speak at an APP event, as “an important ally for us as we fight against this false narrative about climate change”:
“He [Epstein] explains in very, very clear language, in a very simplistic way, to understand that this whole climate narrative in relation to fossil fuels is a false flag entirely and that CO2 actually is good. Here’s something just put this in your brain. CO2 levels right now are running at about 420 parts per million, which is the lowest they’ve been running for thousands and thousands and thousands of years. And plant life, animal life, human life, millennia, many millennia ago was thriving when CO2 levels were ten times what they are now. So it really is false to think that the fossil fossil fuels are causing climate change and global warming.”
October 17, 2022
“The products that are made from oil and gas and basically coal that would fire electrical generators and all that kind of stuff, with that technology, we’d be able to conquer whatever climate change happened to be. If we rose by a couple of degrees or we lowered by a couple of degrees, we’d be able to do something with that,” APP member Kerry Lambert commented in a webinar with Alex Epstein.13
September 29, 2022
“I was particularly alarmed by a statement by the World Economic Forum in a video in which the gentleman speaking, and I use the term gentleman loosely here, stated. ‘We need to eliminate billions of people. They will find peace in the grave.’ And so, again, I’m not a conspiracy theorist, but you’ve got to think about what’s coming. For example, let’s consider the COVID-19 mandates, and you’re aware of the problems that have occurred, the complications and the death rates that are occurring. Put this in the context of eliminating fossil fuel use, all in the name of climate change and what that’s going to do to the survivability of people in certain climates, whether it’s hot or cold. And think about what reducing and eliminating our use of fertilizer is going to do. Think about what’s coming with respect to the plan to eliminate or dramatically reduce the livestock industry. What does this sound like? Does it sound like a potential culling of the population? And I’m not saying it is. I’m just saying think about it and make your own decision about what is coming,” APP CEO Dennis Modry said at an event at Rocky Mountain House.14
September 15, 2022
“This idea that that we have to sacrifice the quality of human life in order to save the climate is nonsense, right? That is cruel and that’s wrong and it’s also unnatural,” APP director Tanner Hnidey commented during a video titled “Exposing King Charles.”15
August 18, 2022
Dennis Modry claimed in a webinar that Canada was already “carbon negative”:
“This federal government wants to gut our industry when we are producing a negligible amount of CO2, that all of it is picked up by our boreal forest as our carbon sink, our boreal forest, our agricultural lands, and our muskeg. And therefore, you know, we could probably be producing 10 to 20 times the amount of CO2 that we’re producing and still be carbon negative in this country. But this is not being recognized by this ridiculous federal government.16
Stance on the World Economic Forum (WEF) and “The Great Reset”
August 2022
“The Great Reset is a highly influential movement by the global elites of the World Economic Forum and the United Nations, who have signed a contract called Agenda 2030. And the purpose of that is to reset the global economy and to restructure the function of society, to control all of us, to control billions of people,” Dennis Modry said at an APP event.17
E&E News has described the Great Reset as “a conspiracy theory [that] holds that a global elite is planning to shut down society and restrict personal freedoms, such as eating meat and driving gas-powered cars in their zeal to address climate change.”18
“The Great Reset has been boosted by climate deniers, right-wing media and conservative think tanks that oppose regulations on fossil fuels,” E&E News‘s Scott Waldman added.
“It all began in June 2020 during the depths of COVID-19 lockdowns […] Before long it was turned into a rallying cry against COVID-19 lockdowns and, then, as a warning against climate action. Conservative activists used it to claim that environmental laws and regulations were an attack on their personal freedoms, said John Cook, a postdoctoral research fellow at the Climate Change Communication Research Hub at Monash University in Australia and an expert on climate disinformation.”
According to Waldman, Steve Milloy “was one of the first to push the Great Reset as a climate-related conspiracy theory” in the US.
July 27, 2022
“Many Albertans and people around the world are really very much concerned about the socialist Marxist agenda of the UN WEF contract agreement term Agenda 2030. And consequently, the APP cannot support any international institution that usurps or is planning to usurp a country’s sovereignty, or that will compromise energy and food security of any nations, or that will trample the inalienable freedoms and rights of individual citizens,” Dennis Modry said at an APP webinar discussing “UNDRIP and Alberta Independence.”19
Stance on Renewables

Alberta Prosperity Project’s Stance on UNDRIP
“APP absolutely does not support UNDRIP,” APP’s CEO Dennis Modry said during a webinar on July 27, 2022.21
“We don’t need a woke United Nations to ram down our throats their socialist, Marxist agenda,” Modry said during the webinar’s Q&A session, answering a question on concerns about “WEF Agenda 2030.”
What is UNDRIP?
The United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP) is a comprehensive statement addressing the human rights of indigenous peoples. “The document emphasizes the rights of indigenous peoples to live in dignity, to maintain and strengthen their own institutions, cultures and traditions and to pursue their self-determined development, in keeping with their own needs and aspirations,” the United Nations wrote.22
Canada officially endorsed UNDRIP in 2016 and passed its federal version of UNDRIP, Bill C-15, in June 2021.23
Funding
In a discussion on a Grey Matter podcast, Modry claimed “as the CEO, and the commitments that I’ve made to some of the benefactors, we will never become a party and we will never back any given party.”24
The group offers a donation page25 as well as memberships starting at $20.
Key Documents
Key People
As of 2022, the following people were listed on the Alberta Prosperity Project’s website:26
| Name | Title |
| Dennis Modry | Chief Executive Officer (CEO) |
| Rejean Lavoie | Chief Operations Officer (COO) |
| Walter Harris-Demelo | VP Communications |
| Jeff Rath | VP General Counsel |
| Pam Lehr | Provincial Events Coordinator |
| Will Stayer | VP Internal Affairs |
Dennis Modry — CEO
Dennis Modry, formerly a cardiovascular and thoracic surgeon, sued Alberta Health Services “alleging they conspired to restrict and eventually suspend his operating privileges,” according to Global News/The Canadian Press in 2015.27
Modry’s profile at the Alberta Prosperity Project says that he retired on January 1, 2016, and that he worked on several provincial finance committees under Alberta Conservative Governments of Premiers Peter Lougheed, Don Getty, Ralph Klein, and Ed Stelmach.28 Modry has said he was the former vice president of policy and governance for the Wildrose Independence Party, and that Peter Downing, who started Wexit Alberta, was “a good friend of mine.”29
On March 31, 2021, the Western Standard published an open letter by Modry to Premier Jason Kenney on Kenney’s COVID-19 response.30 AFP Fact Check found that the letter contained false claims, and that “medical experts say several claims in the letter are false or unproven, and Modry is not currently licensed to practice, according to the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Alberta.”31
“The article suggested Dr. Modry is a currently practising physician; however, it’s important to note he is not licensed to practise medicine in Alberta. Dr. Modry’s specialization was in surgery, he does not have expertise in public health,” the CPSA wrote in a press release.32
In the article, Modry promoted the Great Barrington Declaration, a document sponsored by the American Institute for Economic Research (AIER) that advocated for herd immunity as a response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The World Health Organization and other health experts have suggested a herd immunity strategy would be “unethical,” dangerous, and deadly. 33
Modry graduated from the University of Alberta (U of A) school of medicine in 1973, and eventually returned to the U of A in 1980 to develop a heart-long transplant program. He performed the first heart transplant in Western Canada in July 1985.34
He also set out to develop a luxury condominium project in downtown Edmonton, Alberta.35 He was formerly on the board of Imperial Equities Inc, a real estate development company based in Edmonton. 36
Rejean Lavoie
Rejean Lavoie’s profile at the Alberta Prosperity Project says he “has had a varied and successful career in large petro-chemical facilities (Dow and Dow joint venture Sadara)” as well as three “small private technology start-up ventures.”37
Walter Harris-Demelo—VP Communications
“I’ve studied the globalists, their history and agenda, and know the threat they pose to our future and the future of our children,” Walter Harris-Demelo wrote in his profile at the Alberta Prosperity Project.38
“Since the beginning of the Covid Wars, Albertans have been labeled as ‘Non Essential’, and our way of life has been mandated against and criminalized. We are being conditioned to bow down to men in white lab coats who promise to ‘save us’ with science – the priest class of our time who promise ‘to make it rain’ in exchange for our freedoms. We are being conditioned to believe that humans are bad for the environment and that population control is necessary to save the planet – this is a lie. The global elites are working very hard to implement systems that can track, trace and database us. This claim used to be called a ‘conspiracy theory’ but history has proven that it is a conspiracy fact,” he added.
“A long time ago, I decided to “burn my ships” and dedicate myself to resisting this anti-human agenda, that they now call ‘The Great Reset.’ The path I’ve chosen has led me to meet and speak with some of the most interesting and informative people on Earth. Inevitably, my journey led me to Dr. Dennis Modry and the Alberta Prosperity Project, where I found a community who cared about preserving freedom, prosperity, and independence as much as I did. I want to share this community with all Albertans.”
According to his LinkedIn profile, he was an educational technologist with the Maskwacis Education Schools Commission until December 2021, and joined the Alberta Prosperity Project in February 2022.39
Jeff Rath
Listed as VP General Counsel to the Alberta Prosperity Project,40 Jeffrey R. W. Rath is a barrister and solicitor with Rath & Company.41 According to his profile, “Jeff Rath has used his vast amount of knowledge and experience to effectively advocate for the rights and interests of First Nations in Canada at all levels of court in Canada for over 20 years.”
Rath & Company runs a COVID-19 litigation website where they claim to represent “a number of groups of citizens of Alberta and Canada who are fighting for Medical Professionals, Alberta Public Service Employees, Businesspeople, Frontline Responders, and others who are suffering as a result of abusive Federal and Provincial COVID-19 related mandates.” The group is launching a class action lawsuit for “individuals who feel that they have been harmed by the Governments Response to COVID-19.” 42
In what appears to be the unedited version43 of an article by Rath later published in the Western Standard,44 he describes Rachel Notley, leader of the Opposition of Alberta, as “a reactionary, big pharma supporting, fascist in skirts who hypocritically cries crocodile tears over Danielle Smith suggesting that the discrimination against the unvaccinated was the worst discrimination she has seen in her lifetime.”
“Peer-reviewed ‘SCIENCE’ confirms that the so-called vaccines do not keep the ‘vaccinated’ from
spreading
COVID at lower rates than the unvaccinated,” Rath wrote in the original
version. “A Royal Commission needs to be empaneled sooner rather than
later to examine all of the conduct
of every member of the medical establishment within AHS and the CPSA that were complicit in
the deaths of thousands of Albertans through their misguided avoidance of every known medical
ethic and safeguard.”45
Pam Lehr
The Alberta Prosperity Project lists Pam Lehr as its provincial events coordinator on its website. According to her bio, “One of my passions is living a healthy lifestyle the ‘natural’ way. It started in 2016 when I took a CrossFit and Paleo challenge and have continued with eating whole nutrient-dense foods. In 2021, I took my holistic nutritionist training and am an advocate for an alternate healthcare system.”46 She describes herself as a “Professional Women’s Weight Loss Holistic Nutritionist” on LinkedIn.47

the most of their potential, including making the most of the technology
available to them. Over the past year, Alain became involved with the
Alberta Independence movement after concluding that the Canadian
Federation is broken and that sovereignty is the best and only option
for Albertans.”52

On his personal website and blog, Hnidey describes Prime Minister Justin Trudeau as a “harbinger of sin.” Hnidey adds, “He’s always looking down upon us, which means he’s never looking up at Lord.” He also writes to warn of the World Economic Forum.57
“Mr. Trudeau is the incarnation of King Herod, and like King Herod, Trudeau also serves a Caesar. At the WEF, G7, G20, and other global meetings, Malthusian powers unite all other powers for a sinister purpose […]”
Hnidey has described the environmentalist movement as “evil,” and “uncivilized and anti-civilization.”58
“[R]adical-environmentalists are not heroes; they are not benevolent. They are not gentle or kind (just listen to their speeches). They’re angry, vitriolic, unhinged, ideologues, and they exploit fossil fuels and pseudo-science to advance their agenda,” he wrote. “Make no mistake. Our war is not against climate change, but against the imposition of a Marxist state, and the zone of battle is becoming very hot.”
Rob Patterson
Robert Patterson, according to a profile on the Alberta Prosperity Project website, is a “Financial and Risk Management professional with over 30 years of experience in the Energy, Financial Services and Not for profit sectors.”59 A Robert Patterson matching this description on LinkedIn, now a managing director with Venrisk Inc., previously worked in risk management with Talisman Energy, with energy industry clients with Price Waterhouse Coopers, and previously as a manager with Arthur Andersen & Co. where he offered “consulting services to oil & gas clients (e.g. Petro-Canada).” His earliest listed position was as a business analyst and later a “joint venture agreements advisor” to Imperial Oil starting in 1989.60

In the 80’s I was involved with the Cosmopolitan Club (service) and presided one year as President.” He concluded: “I see no benefit in Confederation for Alberta. We, the people, are the Majority! Ottawa and Edmonton refuse to listen to our concerns. They continue to trapple [sic] our God given Freedoms so we are uniting to take back what is rightfully ours.”62

Other APP Members
Chris Scott
Chris Scott, owner of the Whistle Stop Cafe, faced a total of 11 charges including nine related to the Public Health Act for keeping his business operating against public health guidelines during the COVID-19 pandemic.71
Scott said he joined the Alberta Prosperity Project after looking for solutions after he opened his restaurant against restrictions.
“I’ve been looking for solutions. Like a real solution, not just a temporary force-a-judge-to-throw-your-stuff-out-of-court solution, but a lasting solution that other people can apply to their lives and can literally make the world better for other people,” Scott said.
“[T]he minute we stand up as Albertans and we say, we’re not going to live like this, we’re not going to put up with cancel culture and wokeness and critical race theory and, and all of these ideologies that they twist the truth and celebrate lies. Albertans don’t want to do that.
“And that’s the reason why I speak and advocate for the Alberta Prosperity Project, because the solutions they’re offering, they’re plausible, they’re probable, they’re lawful, they’re peaceful, and nobody’s left behind. It’s not a left or a right thing. This is a freedom loving Albertans, or not.”72
Scott regularly hosts webinars and videos for the Alberta Prosperity Project, published on their YouTube channel and other social media platforms.
Scott has noted that he is on the board of WS Full Steam Ahead, a group he helped create “to advocate for people that have been affected by the [COVID-19] vaccine.”
“Vaccine death is probably a very… that’s strongly affected by the vaccine mandates. So what we did is we. We are not partnered, but we are cooperating and working with Leighton Gray, who has filed or is filing a class action lawsuit against Pfizer for vaccine injuries and vaccine deaths,” Scott said in a webinar with Dennis Modry.73
Actions
December 18, 2022
APP CEO Dennis Modry appeared at Ezra Levant‘s Rebel News live event in Calgary, Alberta “to discuss the significance of self-determination in governance, Alberta’s future, and more.” The video was posted to the video platform Rumble.74
The New York Times described Rumble as “the right-wing’s go-to video site“75 and some have listed it among “alt-tech” social-media platforms.76
“We find ourself spiralling down into this vortex of progressive Marxism and socialism until eventually we will own nothing and we won’t be happy and we won’t have prosperity unless we come together and do something amazing. And that’s what the Alberta Prosperity Project is all about,” Modry said in his speech.
“If you can’t open and change the Constitution, what can you do? It’s all about leverage, folks. It’s the leverage that you can give the provincial government consequent to a successful referendum on Alberta independence.”
He added later:
“Did you think at one time that you owned your own body? You found out through COVID that you didn’t, right? This is the kind of federal government that we’re dealing with. […] We are facing the most profound elimination of the basic tenet of democracy: the loss of free speech, with Bill C-11.”
December 7, 2022
APP interviewed regular Friends of Science contributor Robert Lyman in a segment titled “What REALLY happened at COP27?“77
“If we completely eliminate our emissions, it would make such small a difference to the global emissions level that you cannot measure it. Basically what I’m saying here is that these emissions reductions are not being done to change the climate or to change the temperature or to alter extreme weather events. This is pure virtue signaling, symbolic virtue signalling, and I mean, I hate to sort of put it in those stark terms, but that is exactly how I see it having studied this for a very long time,” Lyman claimed in the interview.
Chris Scott responded:
“I agree with you. And the prize that we get for this, this false virtue is catastrophic impacts to the lives and the prosperity of Canadians.”
He later added, “There’s a series of conversations here. One of them is, is carbon dioxide a detriment to the planet or is it a benefit? That’s an entire conversation on its own. Then there’s this other conversation about what policies do we need to enact in order to deal with the answer to question number one? But question number one hasn’t even been answered yet.”
According to Lyman, the oil and gas industry “been particularly targeted and victimized” in the effort to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. “The mainstream media in Canada does not present a balanced and objective view of the advantages and disadvantages of climate policy,” Lyman claimed.
“The climate change realists or the climate change skeptics, whatever you want to call them, are a tiny minority, and they’re very poorly funded. So it’s very difficult to tell the story that you’re offering me an opportunity to tell you here today,” he later added.
“These NGOs have come in and they have created this parade by doing protests, by misinformation, by using horribly flawed computer climate models. You name it. Ad campaigns, whatever. …They just pander to the wacko greenie environmentalists’ demands, no matter how outrageous they are,” Chris Scott responded.
November 16, 2022
Kerry Lambert and Chris Scott interviewed78 Friends of Science‘s Communication Director 79 on mass graves found in Alberta. See some notable quotes below the video.
Michelle Sterling: [00:21:27] “I got into it because I’d done a number of historical documentaries and I met with a number of pioneers. I met with the last living RCMP officer, Northwest Mounted police officer, who first trekked west. So, you know, I just knew that it was wildly exaggerated. And and I guess the thing that is very important for us as Albertans and as Canadians is that this is really driving a wedge between groups within society. It’s creating hatred and resentment between groups. And some of that might still exist with the facts that I hope to show you tonight. But I don’t think it would be at the level of outrage. You know, there are many people who do have very real and painful, horrible experiences from residential schools. But the facts of the context of history also need to frame those experiences for all of us so that we understand what life was like back then. You know, it wasn’t a cakewalk.” [00:22:37]
Chris Scott: [00:24:52] “The narrative that’s been spun and presented en masse to Canada is that the people that were running the residential schools were so bad and they were so abusive to the people in these schools that they just would, you know, beat them to death and throw them outside and bury them and, you know, and not do anything about it. That’s that’s kind of the narrative that people are pushing. And because of it, all of the sudden, because I’m a white Christian of European descent, I’m responsible for a genocide of an entire people.” [00:25:28]
October 26, 2022
APP’s Chris Scott interviewed Michelle Sterling for a webinar titled “My Tar Sands Tipping Point with CBC.” Some notable quotes below.80
Chris Scott: [00:04:05] “So we have conversations with people like Michelle who are very knowledgeable on these subjects, and hopefully this will give you an idea, maybe some tools to use in your conversations with with other Albertans, as to how we can change the conversation from ‘Alberta is the embarrassing cousin of Canada’ to ‘Alberta is a global leader in clean, ethical energy. And we should be we should be rejoicing for it.'” [00:04:36]
Chris Scott: [00:13:43] “Every now and then we have something happen in energy or agriculture or whatever, and animals die or there’s something bad that happens. But if you put it in the context of how many people, how many people’s lives are enriched or able to prosper, how many lives are saved as a result of that industry where we had this incident happened, all of a sudden, the scales of what would you call it, the scales of. …” [00:14:06]
Michelle Sterling: (Completing Chris Scott’s statement)[00:14:09] “The balance of the importance changes.” [00:14:13]
Chris Scott: [00:14:14] “Yeah, like the scales of public perception, of public justice, they weigh very, very heavily on like in favor of the energy industry. So that’s something I’m hoping that we see more of in the in the upcoming months is that the information getting out there, like from folks like you who are are breaking down this narrative that everything Alberta does that has anything to do with oil or gas is evil, and the reality is what we do enriches the lives of every person on the globe in one way or another.” [00:14:50]
Michelle Sterling: [00:14:59] “Yeah, that’s part of it. And also the bigger picture is that Alberta has really been the poster child for the push for renewables and cap and trade worldwide. What could make renewables, which are very unreliable, very expensive, and really useless except for generating renewable energy certificates, what could make them look like a good deal, unless you compare them to something that looks ghastly and you call it dirty?” [00:15:28]
And of course, the mining, the surface mining of the oilsands was the perfect image to contrast that with renewable energy and say this oil is dirty, coal is dirty, gas is dirty, but this wind is clean. It’s beautiful. This solar panel is beautiful. These are clean and they’re free. There’s nobody ever says, hey, wait a minute, these guys are made from those guys so how can this be clean and beautiful and free if it’s made from oil, gas, and coal? But it was a perfect marketing scheme. [00:16:05]
Michelle Sterling: [00:25:50] “In Alberta, we have the perfect example of what climate change is. Go to the Royal Tyrrell Museum, go down to Okotoks and stand by that big rock. That big rock came all the way from Jasper, 400 kilometers. So where did all that ice go? Calgary used to be under two miles of ice. Where did it go? There were no SUVs. So, you know, we have the evidence actually right here in the province to argue against the catastrophe narrative. And, of course, again, that doesn’t mean that humans don’t affect climate. We do, but not catastrophically so. And our impact in terms of the atmospheric concentration is nominal.” [00:26:34][43.9]
Chris Scott: [00:27:01] “So a question comes to mind: what are we willing to sacrifice in the pursuit of what may or may not be largely human impact, and you know in order to change the climate by a margin, that is mostly insignificant. I think this whole thing needs to be relooked at.” [00:27:25]

About Us
Who we are
DeSmog was founded in January 2006 to clear the PR pollution that is clouding the science and solutions to climate change. Our team quickly became the world’s number one source for accurate, fact-based information regarding global warming misinformation campaigns.
DeSmog continues to expand our focus to other areas where misinformation has eroded public understanding and political action to address critical societal challenges, such as meeting the world’s energy needs, confronting environmental racism, and ensuring a just transition to a sustainable economic paradigm.
Through hard-hitting investigative journalism, in-depth research, and collaborations with other investigative outlets, DeSmog works tirelessly to provide climate accountability and serve as an antidote to science denial and disinformation. Supported by science and dedicated to equity, our team is helping to clear the way for clean energy solutions, environmental justice, and the preservation of democracy.
Now a global organization, with reporters and researchers spanning North and South America, the UK, Europe, Africa, and beyond, the DeSmog team works to expose corporate misinformation from major fossil fuel interests, including the likes of ExxonMobil, Koch Industries, and others with a documented history of undermining climate science and action. We conduct original research and reporting on a range of issues in the broader energy policy dialogue. In many cases, we find the same tactics, and many of the same people, that DeSmog first began exposing in our early research into the climate denial industry, are now sitting alongside a new breed of lobbyist, downplaying potential solutions to climate change, and promoting questionable “silver-bullet” solutions.
Our research databases provide vital information on over 800 organizations and individuals responsible for spreading misinformation on a range of energy and science topics. We first started reporting on Koch Industries’ funding of climate denial in 2007, and continue to track Koch-linked groups and operatives in our Koch Network Database. In 2020, we added two new databases — the Air Pollution Lobbying Database and Agribusiness Database — showing how vested interests are working to slow action across multiple sectors.
Since 2014, our DeSmog UK-based team has exposed industry influence in government, mapped the overlap between Brexit campaigners and climate deniers, and expanded the public’s understanding of the radical neoliberal agenda which has undermined the public interest in favor of wealthy and corporate interests. DeSmog’s UK operations fall under the remit of DeSmog UK Ltd, a not-for-profit company limited by guarantee (company number 11042361). To learn more about DeSmog UK Ltd, please visit the UK edition’s about page.
DeSmog’s work has been covered in major news outlets around the world, and our research databases are a trustworthy resource used regularly by journalists, academics, government officials, and the general public. Our articles and research are routinely highlighted in the world’s most popular news outlets, including The New York Times, The Guardian, BBC, Associated Press, Reuters, Bloomberg, Wall Street Journal, Forbes, VICE, France 24, the New Statesman, Evening Standard, Channel 4, Nation Media Group, Grist, and many more.
TIME magazine has recognized DeSmog as “the antidote” to the corporate smoke screen that surrounds climate and energy issues. In our capacity as experts on global warming and fossil fuel industry misinformation campaigns, we have assisted major media such as ABC News, Netflix, Al Jazeera, World Service, and The Globe and Mail in the development of investigative content. DeSmog’s research was heavily featured in the U.S. Senate’s “Web of Denial” resolution and speeches in July 2016, and has been used on the floors of the UK House of Commons and European Parliament to hold leaders to account on their climate promises.
DeSmog has won the Canadian Public Relation Society’s Leadership in Communication award, and was voted Canada’s “Best Group Blog” by their peers. TIME Magazine named DeSmog in its “25 Best Blogs of 2011” list. In 2021, DeSmog won the “Best Specialist News Site” category in The Drum Online Media Awards, was shortlisted and “highly commended” in this category in 2023, and has been nominated for the “Best Investigation” category three times. In 2024, DeSmog was shortlisted for the “Website of the Year” category in the Press Gazette’s Future of the Media awards, alongside Politico, Sky News, and the Financial Times. A DeSmog investigation co-published with The Nation was nominated for the Media Council of Kenya’s Annual Journalism Excellence Award in the “Development Reporting” category in 2021.
DeSmog has an international collaboration with Spanish outlet Climatica, a project of La Marea.
DeSmog was founded by Jim Hoggan of James Hoggan & Associates, one of Canada’s leading public relations firms. Although Jim retired several years ago and has not been involved in the governance and management of DeSmog in recent years, he continues to support the mission of DeSmog and write books about propaganda and climate disinformation.

Judge rules Edmonton pastor will remain in jail until his trial in May
By Terry Haig |
english@rcinet.ca
Posted: Friday, March 5, 2021 13:45
An Alberta pastor who has clashed for months with provincial health
authorities over COVID-19 restrictions will remain in jail until he
goes to trial in May because he refuses to follow a bail condition
that requires he comply with public health orders.
The pastor, James Coates of the GraceLife Church in Parkland County
west of Edmonton, has been in jail for over two weeks and was
appealing his bail conditions.
After hearing arguments yesterday from Coates’s lawyers, Court of
Queen’s Bench Justice Peter Michalyshyn dismissed the bail review this
morning.
Coates is charged with violating Alberta’s Public Health Act and with
breaking a promise to abide by conditions of his bail release, which
is a Criminal Code offence.

Coates was arrested for holding Sunday services in violation of
COVID-19 rules. (THE CANADIAN PRESS/Jason Franson)
His lawyer, James Kitchen, told the court Thursday that Coates can’t
follow a bail condition that forbids him from holding services because
that would violate his conscience by disobeying God.
“This is a matter of deep-seeded personal conscience and religious
beliefs for Pastor Coates,” Kitchen said.
“He is unable to disobey the God he believes in. He is compelled to
obey … as [are] his congregants.”
The prosecution argued that Coates’s release would be a danger to the public.
Outside the courthouse, dozens of Coates’s supporters gathered–many of
them not wearing face masks–and more than 350 attended the hearing via
the court’s web conferencing software.
Some failed to mute their microphones, leading to frequent disruptions.
Supporters rallied outside court yesterday as lawyers for James Coates
appealed his bail conditions. (THE CANADIAN PRESS/Jason Franson)
Coates turned himself in to police on Feb. 16 and was charged with two
counts in contravention of the Public Health Act and charged for
failing to comply with a condition of his undertaking.
He refused release, saying he could not abide by the conditions.
Prior to his detention, his Sunday services were drawing up to 300
members, and in early February Coates was charged for a second time
for breaking the rules.
He was fined in December and Alberta Health Services ordered the
church to close in January, but Coates ignored the orders.
The church has continued to hold services, even though Coates is in custody.

Alberta court jails Pastor Coates through to May 3-5 trial
Mar 5th, 2021
EDMONTON: The Justice Centre is very disappointed to announce that
Justice Peter Michalyshyn of the Alberta Court of Queen’s Bench in
Edmonton has ruled that Pastor James Coates of Grace Life Church must
remain in jail for the next eight weeks pending his trial, unless he
agrees to abide by health orders that violate his Charter freedoms of
conscience, religion, expression, association and peaceful assembly.
Pastor Coates has been in custody at the Edmonton Remand Centre since
February 16, after he refused to sign a bail condition to comply with
provincial health orders that violate his Charter freedoms of
conscience, religion, expression, association and peaceful assembly.
The Justice Centre filed an appeal in the Alberta Court of Queen’s
Bench, to seek the release of Pastor Coates from jail prior to a trial
date set for May 3-5, 2021, in Alberta Provincial Court in Stony
Plain. The Justice Centre represents Pastor Coates and Grace Life
Church, a large church just west of Edmonton. Alberta Health Services
(AHS) ticketed Pastor Coates, taken Grace Life and Pastor Coates to
court, and even attempted to completely shut the Church down.
Background information on Pastor Coates’ ordeal is available here.
“A trial set eight weeks down the road was too long for an innocent
Pastor to be in jail. Pastor Coates is a peaceful Christian minister.
He should never have been required to violate his conscience and
effectively stop pastoring his church as a condition to be released.
In every way this was a violation of Pastor Coates’ Charter rights and
freedoms,” states lawyer John Carpay, president of the Justice Centre.
“Charter freedoms do not disappear because the government declares
regular church services to be outlawed while allowing hundreds of
people to fill their local Walmarts,” notes Carpay.

Alberta pastor charged with violating Public Health Act, still in
custody for refusing conditions: RCMP
Diego Romero
CTVNewsEdmonton.ca Digital Journalist
Published Wednesday, February 17, 2021 5:32PM MST
EDMONTON -- A pastor west of Edmonton remains in custody Wednesday
after he was charged with breaking Alberta's Public Health Act and
refusing to agree to the conditions of his release, RCMP said.
James Coates turned himself in to police on Tuesday, two days after a
service Alberta Health Services and RCMP attended where he "was not
complying with his Undertaking release conditions" issued a week
earlier, police said.
The pastor was charged with two counts of contravention of the Public
Health Act and failing to comply with a condition of his undertaking.

Alberta church opens on Sunday despite closure order over COVID-19

Coates attended a bail hearing Tuesday and was to be released on
conditions, but was kept in custody overnight "after refusing to agree
to those conditions," RCMP said.
Those conditions, his lawyer told CTV News, include stopping church
services, but "Coates could not, in good conscience, agree to that
condition."
The pastor made a court appearance on Wednesday and was given a second
court appearance for next Wednesday after he continued to refuse to
agree to the conditions, Mounties added.
“We’ve been consistent in our approach of escalated levels of
enforcement with Pastor Coates, and we were hopeful to resolve this
issue in a different manner,” said RCMP Insp. Mike Lokken. “The
Pastor’s actions, and the subsequent effects those actions could have
on the health and safety of citizens, dictated our response in this
situation.”
On Tuesday, Coates' lawyer told CTV News his client was willing to go
to jail in order to do the "right thing."
"His first obedience is to his Lord, is to his God. And normally,
obeying Jesus and obeying the government go right in hand," James
Kitchen said. "The government's forcing him in to a position where he
has to choose between disobeying God and obeying government, or
obeying God and disobeying government."
GraceLife was first cited for hosting more than 15 per cent of its
capacity at a December service and the pastor was fined $1,200.
A Court of Queen's Bench order was issued in January when it continued
to break COVID-19 restrictions.
GraceLife has held services for three consecutive weeks after it was
ordered to close at the end of January.
The church was not in compliance with the Public Health Act last
Sunday, RCMP said Wednesday.
A day earlier in a statement, GraceLife said: "We do not see our
actions as perpetuating the longevity of COVID-19 or any other virus
that will inevitably come along. If anything, we see our actions as
contributing to its end – the end of destructive lockdowns and the end
of the attempt to institutionalize the debilitating fear of viral
infections. Our local church is clear evidence that governmental
lockdowns are unnecessary. In fact, it is also evidence of how harmful
they are."
Criminal lawyer Tom Engel says the RCMP should shut down the church
and charge everyone in attendance.
"Every person who is in that church knows that they are breaking the
law," he said.
'UNCOMMONLY GOOD' RELATIONSHIP WITH RCMP: KITCHEN
Coates' lawyer told CTV News GraceLife has an "uncommonly good"
relationship with the RCMP because "the police have acted, in this
case, very differently than how they have acted with a lot of other
people."
Complicating Kitchen's claim is the fact that a retired Mountie, Paul
Claassen, is GraceLife's chair.
"It leads to the impression that there's a double standard, there's a
bias in favour of this church," Engel said.
But in a statement, Insp. Lokken said: "Our response to the non
compliance of the Church has been consistent with our overall RCMP
strategy in the Province which is; education, an opportunity for
compliance, and lastly, enforcement. Parkland RCMP has managed the
investigation into the GraceLife Church with absolutely no influence
from any member of their administration or congregation, regardless of
any past or present affiliation with our organization.
"The RCMP has conducted all their interactions with the Church in an
impartial, professional, and respectful manner.”

underlings of Shirley Heafey within the Commission for Public
Complaints against the RCMP over the years plus my many faxes and
emails please find enclosed exactly the same material received by
every Attorney General in Canada over the past year. The CD which is a
copy of a police surveillance wiretap tape # 139 is served upon you as
officers of the court in order that it may be properly investigated.
As you can see I have enclosed a copy of a letter sent to the latest
Attorney General Mr. Wally Opal in BC. Perhaps he should take a little
trip to Surrey and ask your office some hard questions. Perhaps the
ghost of my fellow Independent politician, Chuck Cadman may wish to
answer few questions now as well. Hard telling not knowing.
I will not bother you with the details of what I am sending to
you byway of the certified US Mail because I will be serving identical
material to many other Canadian Authorities in hand and tell them I
gave this stuff to you first and enclose a copy of this letter. All
that is important to me right now is that I secure proof that this
mail was sent before I make my way back home to the Maritimes. However
I will say I am also enclosing a great deal more material than what
Allan Rock had received in the UN. Some of it is in fact the same
material the two maritime lawyers, Rob Moore and Franky Boy McKenna in
particular received, while I was up home running for Parliament last
year. Things have changed greatly in the past year so I have also
included a few recent items to spice thing up for you. I am tired of
trying to convince people employed in law enforcement to uphold the
law. So all I will say for now is deal will your own conscience and be
careful how you respond to this letter. If you do not respond. Rest
assured I will do my best to sue you some day. Ignorance is no excuse
to the law or me.

Robin Camp case: What does it take to remove a judge from the bench?
Only two federally appointed judges recommended for dismissal since 1971
By Nicole Ireland, CBC News Posted: Nov 12, 2015 5:00 AM ET
The case of a judge who asked a woman, "Why couldn't you just keep
your knees together?" during an Alberta sexual assault trial is
raising questions about what kind of behaviour warrants removing a
justice from the bench.
Judge under review for berating sex assault complainant
Read the complaint against Justice Robin Camp
Only two judges have been recommended for removal by the Canadian
Judicial Council — a group of federally appointed judges tasked with
investigating complaints about their peers — since it was created in
1971.
Trevor Farrow
Trevor Farrow, associate dean at Osgoode Hall Law School in Toronto,
says it's 'a good thing' that judges don't lightly recommend
dismissing their peers. (Osgoode Hall Law School)
In both cases, the judges resigned before the recommendations made it
to Parliament, which ultimately decides whether or not to dismiss a
Canadian judge.
On Monday, the judicial council announced it was reviewing the conduct
of Robin Camp while he was an Alberta provincial court judge in 2014,
when he presided over a case involving a 19-year-old woman who alleged
she was sexually assaulted by a Calgary man during a house party.
According to the complaint that prompted the review, in addition to
the "keep your knees together" comment, Camp asked during the trial,
"Why didn't you just sink your bottom down into the basin so he
couldn't penetrate you?" (The woman alleged she was sexually assaulted
over a sink).
"At numerous points during the proceeding, Justice Camp was dismissive
of, if not contemptuous towards, the substantive law of sexual assault
and the rules of evidence," the complaint said. "In particular, he
showed disregard, if not disdain, for the rape shield provisions under
the Criminal Code, the legal definition of consent to sexual touching,
and the Criminal Code provision and case law regarding the doctrine of
recent complaint.
"His articulated disrespect for these legal rules was, in some
instances, combined with a refusal to apply them."
The Canadian Judicial Council must decide whether the complaint
against Camp, now a Federal Court judge, has merit and, if so, whether
it warrants the establishment of a review panel that could call a
public inquiry.
In the last four decades, the judicial council has ordered public
inquiries for 11 complaints against judges. Two of those inquiries are
still ongoing. In some cases, the judge resigned before the inquiry
was complete. For example, the late Judge Robert Flahiff was convicted
in 1999 for laundering money for a drug dealer back in the 1980s,
before he became a judge. He resigned before the judicial council
finished its inquiry.
Former Quebec judge convicted of money laundering dies
Convicted Quebec judge resigns
In other cases, the council recommended that the judges involved not
be removed from the bench — even if there had been inappropriate
conduct.
"It's not a fait accompli that if you have engaged in some kind of
misconduct you should be removed from office," said Norman Sabourin,
the Canadian Judicial Council's executive director, in an interview
with CBC News on Tuesday. "Assessing the gravity of a misconduct is a
difficult exercise."

Canadian Judicial Council exec on review of judge's behaviour7:06
The overarching question in making that determination, the council
said, is whether the judge has the required confidence of the public
to continue to preside in court.
So when has the council recommended that a judge be removed? Here are
the two cases in which that happened. The details come from documents
available on the Canadian Judicial Council's website:
Paul Cosgrove, Ontario Superior Court
On April 22, 2004, Ontario's attorney general at the time, Michael
Bryant, asked the council to consider whether Judge Paul Cosgrove
should be removed from office based on his conduct in the murder trial
of Julia Yvonne Elliott.
The attorney general said Cosgrove had ordered an "unwarranted stay"
of proceedings.
Ontario judge resigns over misconduct
"The proceedings tarnished the administration of justice and turned
into an exercise of vilifying the state built on irrelevant,
inappropriate and harmful findings," Bryant wrote. "The proceedings
trivialized the charter and deprived society and the victim's family
of any semblance of justice."
The attorney general's complaint alleged that Cosgrove had
demonstrated similar behaviour in other court cases, citing Court of
Appeal findings that the judge had "reduced the proceedings to a
'procedural nightmare' for the Crown" and shown a "suspicious attitude
toward the government that caused him to misapprehend some of the
evidence before him."
On March 30, 2009, after a public inquiry, the Canadian Judicial
Council recommended that Cosgrove be removed from office. The judge
resigned the following month.
Jean Bienvenue, Superior Court of Quebec
In December 1995, the then attorneys general of Quebec and Canada,
Paul Bégin and Allan Rock, asked the Canadian Judicial Council for a
public inquiry into the conduct of Judge Jean Bienvenue during the
trial of Tracy Théberge, who was convicted of second-degree murder in
death of her husband.
According to the inquiry report, Bienvenue made offensive comments
about Jewish victims of the Holocaust and about women while sentencing
the accused.
"It is said that when women ascend the scale of virtues, they reach
higher than men, and I have always believed this. And it is also said,
and this too I believe, that when they decide to degrade themselves,
they sink to depths to which even the vilest man could not sink,"
Bienvenue said.
The judge also said: "At the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp in
Poland, which I once visited horror-stricken, even the Nazis did not
eliminate millions of Jews in a painful or bloody manner. They died in
the gas chambers, without suffering."
During the inquiry, Bienvenue argued that he had not meant to be
offensive and that he had met with the Canadian Jewish Congress. He
also issued a statement apologizing to women offended by his remarks.
On June 25, 1996, four out of five members of the Canadian Judicial
Council committee recommended that Bienvenue be removed from office.
They wrote, "We believe that if Mr. Justice Bienvenue were to preside
over a case, a reasonable and informed person... would have a
reasonable apprehension that the judge would not execute his office
with the objectivity, impartiality and independence that the public is
entitled to expect from a judge."
Bienvenue resigned before the recommendation went to Parliament.
What does the low number of removals mean?
The rarity of judges removing their peers from the bench is a
reflection of the value Canada places on an independent judiciary,
said Trevor Farrow, a professor and associate dean at Osgoode Hall Law
School in Toronto.
"Judges don't recommend removal lightly," he said. "That's a good
thing when you're balancing the requirement that judges have the
courage and independence to make tough choices in often really
challenging circumstances that involve vulnerable people."
At the same time, Farrow said, it's important that the Canadian
Judicial Council has "the power to recommend sanctions, including
removal if warranted, to maintain the public's trust and confidence."

Federal Court judge Robin Camp faces inquiry over sexual assault trial conduct
7-day public hearing will determine if judge who referred to rape
victim as 'the accused' can remain on bench
By Meghan Grant, CBC News Posted: Aug 31, 2016 6:15 PM MT
An inquiry begins Tuesday afternoon for a judge, formerly with Alberta
provincial court, who is facing dismissal from the Federal Court over
controversial comments directed at a sexual assault complainant in
2014.
Judge Robin Camp's 'insensitive, rude' comments not grounds for
dismissal: lawyer
The public hearing takes place before a panel of five — three superior
court judges and two senior lawyers — over the next week-and-a-half at
the Westin Hotel in downtown Calgary.
"These are public hearings, they're open and they're transparent,"
said Johanna Laporte with the Canadian Judicial Council (CJC).
"The council recognizes that public confidence in the justice system
can only be enhanced by these open proceedings and it's the council's
mandate to ensure that serious matters involving judges are thoroughly
investigated."
Robin Camp, who berated sex assault complainant, says counselling
will make him a better judge
Inquiry into Judge Robin Camp to hear from advocates for sex assault victims
Alberta Attorney General Kathleen Ganley forced the inquiry in January
after a complaint made by two law professors at the University of
Calgary and Dalhousie University.
After opening remarks by presenting counsel and Camp's lawyer,
intervenors — women's groups and sexual assault centres — will make
submissions and finally, the panel will hear from Camp himself, who
has previously indicated he plans to apologize.
Panel members will then deliberate before releasing a decision —
likely in written form — on whether or not Camp should remain on the
bench at the Federal Court.
"The inquiry is squarely tasked with determining if the facts
surrounding the complaint are serious enough to warrant the judge's
removal," said Laporte.
'Why didn't you just sink your bottom down'
During the 2014 trial, Camp asked the complainant "why couldn't you
just keep your knees together" during her testimony in his role as an
Alberta Provincial Court judge.
The then 19-year-old woman alleged she was raped by Alexander Scott
Wagar over a bathroom sink at a Calgary house party. Throughout the
trial, Camp repeatedly referred to her as "the accused."
"Why didn't you just sink your bottom down into the basin so he
couldn't penetrate you?" Camp asked the woman.
"That kind of comment goes back to the dinosaur age as far as I'm
concerned," said Danielle Aubry with Calgary Communities Against
Sexual Abuse.
Camp acquitted Wagar, but the Alberta Court of Appeal overturned the
ruling and ordered a new trial. By that time, Camp had been elevated
to the Federal Court.
"When you become a judge ... that's a privilege, it's a very high
position," said Aubry.
"It's incredulous to me that there are people sitting on the bench
that are not educating themselves about issues like sexual violence."
In ordering a new trial, the Court of Appeal wrote that the judge's
comments raised doubts about his understanding of sexual assault laws.
The Canadian Judicial Council received the initial complaint from four
law professors at Dalhousie University and the University of Calgary.
After that, dozens more flooded in.
Gender and sensitivity training
In his notice of response posted to the CJC website, Camp indicated
that he agrees his comments were "insensitive and inappropriate," but
says he has undergone gender and sensitivity training.
Camp arranged and paid for his sensitivity training himself, during
which he worked with a Superior Court judge, a psychologist and an
expert on the law of sexual assault.
He has indicated that he wishes to remain a judge.
The council members include Justice Austin Cullen, who will act as
chairperson, Justice Deborah Smith and Justice Raymond Whalen. The two
senior lawyers, Karen Jensen and Cynthia Petersen, were appointed by
the federal justice minister.
Since the CJC was created in 1971, only two judges have been
recommended for removal. but both ultimately resigned before
Parliament, which has the final say, made its decision.
Seven days have been set aside for the hearing but it is not expected
to run its allotted time. On Tuesday, it starts at 2 p.m. MT. but will
begin at 9 a.m. MT otherwise.
Yea right tell me another one just like your former boss Landslide did.
Tuesday, November 28, 2006
OTTAWA — Anne McLellan has added her name to the list of former
Liberal cabinet ministers who say they were not fully briefed by the
RCMP on Maher Arar.
McLellan was appointed public safety minister in December 2003 and,
shortly thereafter, called a judicial inquiry into the case.
This fall, Justice Dennis O'Connor concluded the RCMP passed
inaccurate information to the United States on Arar that likely led to
his detention and torture in Syria.
On Tuesday, McLellan confirmed she was briefed on the "Arar situation"
by RCMP Commissioner Giuliano Zaccardelli and former CSIS director
Ward Elcock.
But she said she only learned that the RCMP had passed along false
information on Arar to the U.S. when the O'Connor report was released
in late September.
The RCMP described Arar to U.S. authorities as an Islamic extremist
suspected of ties to al-Qaida, even though he was never more than a
"person of interest" in an RCMP national-security investigation.
"In my presence, (neither) Commissioner Zaccardelli, nor anyone else,
either from the RCMP or CSIS, (ever) referred to Mr. Arar as an
Islamic extremist," McLellan told a Commons public safety committee
that has been probing the Arar affair.
"That was an expression that was never used in relation to Mr. Arar in
my presence. Ever."
McLellan's statements appear to contradict assertions by Zaccardelli
that he briefed the government about the mistakes by the RCMP.
In an appearance before the same committee in late September,
Zaccardelli said he informed former solicitor general Wayne Easter
about the errors. The solicitor general was the minister in charge of
the RCMP before the position was abolished last year.
But last month, Easter testified that he was never so informed.
"There is no situation where the RCMP came to me and basically said,
'We screwed up. We provided improper information,’” he said at the
time.
Earlier this month, Elcock of CSIS also testified he did not learn of
the RCMP's mislabeling of Arar until after the O'Connor report was
released.
On Tuesday, McLellan described an environment in which concern about
the Arar affair reached to the top of the political ladder.
She said that soon after former prime minister Paul Martin took office
in December 2003, he asked her to "get to the bottom of what had
happened to Mr. Arar."
Ottawa Citizen
That was what Landslide Annie had to say about the RCMP before Dion
was picked as leader of the liberals aweek or so ago. Ask me what I
sent Wayne Easter as Paul Martin was being crowned as Humpty Dumpty
three years ago. Clearly I sent something EH?

Raising a Little Hell- Lively Debate Provokes Crowd
By Erin Hatfield
"If you don't like what you got, why don't you change it? If your
world is all screwed up, rearrange it."
The 1979 Trooper song Raise a Little Hell blared on the speakers at
the 8th Hussars Sports Center Friday evening as people filed in to
watch the Fundy candidates debate the issues. It was an accurate, if
unofficial, theme song for the debate.
The crowd of over 200 spectators was dwarfed by the huge arena, but as
they chose their seats, it was clear the battle lines were drawn.
Supporters of Conservative candidate Rob Moore naturally took the blue
chairs on the right of the rink floor while John Herron's Liberalswent
left. There were splashes of orange, supporters of NDP Pat Hanratty,
mixed throughout. Perhaps the loudest applause came from a row towards
the back, where supporters of independent candidate David Amos sat.
The debate was moderated by Leo Melanson of CJCW Radio and was
organized by the Sussex Valley Jaycees. Candidates wereasked a barrage
of questions bypanelists Gisele McKnight of the Kings County Record
and Lisa Spencer of CJCW.
Staying true to party platforms for the most part, candidates
responded to questions about the gun registry, same sex marriage, the
exodus of young people from the Maritimes and regulated gas prices.
Herron and Moore were clear competitors,constantly challenging each
other on their answers and criticizing eachothers’ party leaders.
Hanratty flew under the radar, giving short, concise responses to the
questions while Amos provided some food for thought and a bit of comic
relief with quirky answers. "I was raised with a gun," Amos said in
response to the question of thenational gun registry. "Nobody's
getting mine and I'm not paying 10 cents for it."
Herron, a Progressive Conservative MP turned Liberal, veered from his
party'splatform with regard to gun control. "It was ill advised but
well intentioned," Herron said. "No matter what side of the house I am
on, I'm voting against it." Pat Hanratty agreed there were better
places for the gun registry dollars to be spent.Recreational hunters
shouldn't have been penalized by this gun registry," he said.
The gun registry issues provoked the tempers of Herron and Moore. At
one point Herron got out of his seat and threw a piece of paper in
front of Moore. "Read that," Herron said to Moore, referring to the
voting record of Conservative Party leader Steven Harper. According to
Herron, Harper voted in favour of the registry on the first and second
readings of the bill in 1995. "He voted against it when it counted, at
final count," Moore said. "We needa government with courage to
register sex offenders rather than register the property of law
abiding citizens."
The crowd was vocal throughout the evening, with white haired men and
women heckling from the Conservative side. "Shut up John," one woman
yelled. "How can you talk about selling out?" a man yelled whenHerron
spoke about his fear that the Conservatives are selling farmers out.
Although the Liberal side was less vocal, Kings East MLA Leroy
Armstrong weighed in at one point. "You’re out of touch," Armstrong
yelled to Moore from the crowd when the debate turned to the cost of
post-secondary education. Later in the evening Amos challenged
Armstrong to a public debate of their own. "Talk is cheap. Any time,
anyplace," Armstrong responded.
As the crowd made its way out of the building following the debate,
candidates worked the room. They shook hands with well-wishers and
fielded questions from spectators-all part of the decision-making
process for the June 28 vote.
Cutline – David Amos, independent candidate in Fundy, with some of his
favourite possessions—motorcycles.

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

>>> I. Introduction
>>>
>>> [1] On September 16, 2015, David Raymond Amos (Mr.

>>> filed a 53-page Statement of Claim (the Claim) in Federal Court
>>> against Her Majesty the Queen (the Crown). Mr. Amos claims $11

>>> that the Canadian Government will no longer allow the Royal Canadian
>>> Mounted Police (RCMP) and Canadian Forces to harass him and his clan
>>> (Claim at para. 96).
>>>
>>> [2] On November 12, 2015 (Docket T-1557-15), by way of
> a
>>> motion brought by the Crown, a prothonotary of the Federal Court (the
>>> Prothonotary) struck the Claim in its entirety, without leave to

>>> disclosed no reasonable claim, the Claim was fundamentally vexatious,
>>> and the Claim could not be salvaged by way of further amendment (the
>>> Prothontary’s Order).
>>>
>>>
>>> [3] On January 25, 2016 (2016 FC 93), by way of Mr.
>>> Amos’ appeal from the Prothonotary’s Order, a judge of the Federal
>>>>> for being barred by the RCMP from the New Brunswick legislature in
>>> 2004 (the Federal Court Judgment).
>>>
>>>
>>> [4] Mr. Amos appealed and the Crown cross-appealed the
>>> Federal Court Judgment. Further to the issuance of a Notice of Status
>>> Review, Mr. Amos’ appeal was dismissed for delay on December 19,
> 2016.
>>> As such, the only matter before this Court is the Crown’s

>>>
>>>
>>> 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

>>> 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

>>> 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

>>> 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

>>> 5(4) Les juges de la Cour fédérale sont d’office juges de la Cour

>>> [9] Sections 3 and 4 of the Federal Courts Act create

>>> Mr. Amos identified the particular judges that he submits have a

>>>
>>>
>>> [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

>>>
>>> [12] During the hearing of the appeal Mr. Amos alleged that

>>> 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 th>> 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

>>> judicial impartiality that applies in the context of disqualification
>>> of a judge. There is no such presumption in cases of allegations of

>>> 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

>>> [20] Similarly in R. v. Bagot, 2000 MBCA 30, 145 Man. R.

>>>
>>> [24] Mr. Amos alleged that Justice Near’s past professional

>>> [25] Insofar as it is possible to glean the basis for Mr.

>>>
>>>
>>> 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

>>> 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

>>>
>>>
>>> B. Did the Judge err in interfering with the

>>>
>>> [29] The Prothontoary’s Order accepted the following

>>> [34] Applying the Housen standard of review to the

>>>
>>> [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 R>> engaged in
>>> deliberate and unlawful conduct, knew that his or her
>>> conduct was unlawful and likely to harm Mr. Amos, and acted in bad

>>> 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,
