Here is a little proof to support what I said on the phone.
A debate
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-cFOKT6TlSE
and a lawsuit
https://www.scribd.com/doc/281544801/Federal-Court-Seal
https://www.scribd.com/doc/281442628/Me-Versus-the-Crown
FYI During my debates in Fundy Royal I made certain that Rob Moore
and his boss Harper and the Libranos knew within the emails found
below that I was not talking through my hat with reference to the TPP
false promises dairy farmers and my concerns about the Internet
As you journalists well know I made good on my promise to sue the
CROWN while running for a seat in Parliament one last time. As usual
CBC and most of the other very unethical "journlists" ignored the
obvious except Rogers TV and the local reporters employed by the
Irving billionaires
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-yx8twtlgp4
Clearly Jesse Brown and his buddy Mean Mikey Geist were yapping about
the TPP before you revealed the PCO's point of view about Harper's
false promise. More importantly to Mean Old Me both those very snobby
and very unethical Upper Canadian spin doctors well aware I knew the
very sneaky Julian Assange long BEFORE he and Birgitta Jonsdotir made
Wikileaks. Hell I have been dicing with the bast Geist for over ten
years since he stuck his nose in Byron Prior's matters (Another matter
no journalist will report about) Anyone can scroll down or just Google
"Michael Geist" "David Amos" or "Julian Assange" "David Amos" to see
the proof of what I say is true.

Privy Council Office tracks party promises to prepare for government transition
Senior public servants log and analyze every election promise on a
daily basis to prep briefing books
By Dean Beeby, CBC News Posted: Oct 14, 2015 5:00 AM ET|

Liberals, NDP decline PCO offer of confidential briefing on TPP trade deal
Offer to view trade deal just before election rejected as 'political ploy'
CBC News Posted: Oct 15, 2015 5:11 PM ET|
"Mulcair said Trade Minister Ed Fast broke a promise to make all
details of the accord public ahead of election day.
"Instead of openness and transparency, Canadians are learning details
through leaked information and the government's own self-serving
promotional efforts. That's not acceptable," Mulcair said.
The Privy Council Office is the department that provides non-partisan
support to the prime minister and cabinet. The Conservative campaign
told CBC News the government asked the PCO to offer the briefing to
the opposition parties.
But in a separate letter released Thursday, Liberal candidate John
McCallum accused Prime Minister Stephen Harper of continuing a "lack
of transparency" over the deal's details.
"Despite a commitment by the minister of international trade, Mr. Ed
Fast, to release the text of the agreement so all Canadians can judge
it on its merits before election day, media reports this week state
that the details will remain secret," McCallum wrote.
"It is troubling that with just four days remaining until election
day, you continue to refuse to release the text of the agreement for
Canadians to see."
McCallum noted that a previous briefing attended by party
representatives on Oct. 4 "provided no actual details beyond the
limited information already released publicly."
"It is simply not possible to conduct a meaningful, in-depth analysis
of the 1,500-plus page agreement in 90 minutes," he wrote.
I am included in briefing. I was only leader to participate in the 1st
#TPP briefing. #GPC #elxn42 @CanadianGreens @Politicolnews @PnPCBC
— @ElizabethMay
Conservative campaign spokesman Kory Teneycke told CBC News the
Liberals initially agreed to attend the Friday briefing, while the NDP
declined. Teneycke said the briefing was to be based on the chapter
summaries, since the final text does not exist yet.
A Liberal campaign spokesman referred CBC News to McCallum's letter,
but said any suggestion the party had accepted the offer of the
briefing was false."

Conservative Government Must be Transparent with Canadians during TPP Talks
Posted on July 16, 2012
CHARLOTTETOWN— Liberal International Trade critic Wayne Easter made
the following statement today on Canada’s Trans-Pacific Partnership
(TPP) negotiations:
“According to a recent report, the US will be seeking ‘new market
access’ from Canada in the TPP negotiations. The report noted that a
major component of negotiations would be Canada’s supply management
system.
It is imperative that this Conservative government be completely
transparent on their TPP negotiations, especially in regards to what
Canada is conceding in order to be accepted into this partnership.
Canadian dairy and poultry producers depend on the supply management
system, just as Canadian consumers rely on its stable pricing, and
they all deserve assurance that their livelihoods and food safety will
not be compromised in these negotiations.”
http://www.ctvnews.ca/business/montreal-dairy-company-saputo-says-it-can-adapt-to-any-tpp-deal-1.2501466
"Saputo said some dairy farmers have good reason to be worried if
there are dramatic changes to Canada's protective supply management
system, as demanded by some of the 12 countries involved in
negotiating the trade deal. But he said other farmers are efficient,
can compete with anybody in the world and flourish in an unregulated
system.
The abolition of Canada's dairy supply management system would
threaten 4,500 to 6,000 farms and up to 24,000 direct jobs across the
country, according to a study released last week commissioned by dairy
co-operative and Saputo rival Agropur.
Up to 40 per cent of Canada's milk production would be at risk, said
the 56-page report from Boston Consulting Group."
http://www.ctvnews.ca/politics/tpp-trade-deal-is-now-close-and-for-canada-the-last-big-issue-is-dairy-1.2592586
"Fast used more guarded language on dairy. Of that, he said: "There's
still lots of work to be done."
The Canadian government faces domestic pressure from dairy-producing
provinces, who are not at the negotiating table but have provincial
representatives in Atlanta pushing against any opening to foreign milk
and cheese.
Canada isn't the only country with domestic pressure: the American
delegation has received a public letter from influential lawmakers
urging it to walk away unless it can secure certain gains for American
businesses.
But the biggest U.S. business lobby is urging a deal now.
It says the decade-long TPP project could be destroyed by domestic
politics if it doesn't happen immediately, with elections in Canada,
then the U.S., Japan and Peru next year and governments under pressure
to protect individual sectors.
"If we miss this opportunity I believe we may lose it forever," said
Tami Overby, vice-president at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.
"We have the Canadian election. No one knows what that outcome's going
to be. We also get closer to the U.S. 2016 (presidential race) -- that
gets harder. So from my perspective nothing gets better. But the risk
increases, and in some cases quite significantly as time goes by."
As if to underscore her point, NDP Leader Tom Mulcair announced Friday
that he wouldn't consider himself bound to ratify any deal reached
during the election campaign.
Overby encouraged all countries to put some of the proverbial water in
their wine.
For Canada, that wine comes with a little more foreign cheese.
She said New Zealand hasn't asked for much. But it helped spearhead
the TPP project years ago, with its one major demand being access to
dairy markets.
Other Canadian industries are thrilled at the prospect of a deal.
The head of Canada's pro-free-market agriculture group said he expects
a nine-per-cent increase in canola exports alone, with big gains for
other industries including pork, beef and barley.
"We're extremely optimistic for our sector," said Brian Innes of the
Canadian Agri-Food Trade Alliance, and vice-president of the Canola
Council.
"We face significant trade barriers, this is the most ambitious deal
in decades, and it could have a major impact on our ability to
export."

Transfer of Canadian banking records to U.S. tax agency doubled last year
Documents for thousands of Canadian residents transferred under
controversial FATCA legislation
By Elizabeth Thompson, CBC News Posted: Jan 29, 2017 5:00 AM ET
Banking records of more than 315,000 Canadian residents were turned
over to the U.S. Internal Revenue Service last year under a
controversial information sharing deal, CBC News has learned.
That is double the number transferred in the deal's first year.
The Canada Revenue Agency transmitted 315,160 banking records to the
IRS on Sept. 28, 2016 — a 104 per cent increase over the 154,667
records the agency sent in September 2015.
Lisa Damien, spokeswoman for the CRA, attributed the increase to the
fact it was the second year for the Canada-U.S. information sharing
deal that was sparked by the U.S. Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act
(FATCA).
"The exchange in September 2015 was based on accounts identified by
financial institutions at the time," she said. "The number of reported
accounts was expected to increase in 2016, because the financial
institutions have had more time to complete their due diligence and
identify other reportable accounts."

agreement to share banking records of Canadian residents with the IRS.
He has since changed his position. (Sean Kilpatrick/Canadian Press)
The transmission of banking records of Canadian residents is the
result of an agreement worked out in 2014 between Canada and the U.S.
after the American government adopted FATCA. The U.S. tax compliance
act requires financial institutions around the world to reveal
information about bank accounts in a bid to crack down on tax evasion
by U.S. taxpayers with foreign accounts.
Dual citizens, long-term visitors affected
The deal requires financial institutions to share the banking records
of those considered to be "U.S. persons" for tax purposes — regardless
of whether they are U.S. citizens.
Among the people who can be considered by the IRS as "U.S. persons"
are Canadians born in the U.S., dual citizens or even those who spend
more than a certain number of days in the United States each year.
Former prime minister Stephen Harper's government argued that given
the penalties the U.S. was threatening to impose, it had no choice but
to negotiate the information sharing deal. The former government said
it was able to exempt some types of accounts from the information
transfer.

to be 'U.S. persons' to the IRS. (Sean Kilpatrick/Canadian Press)
The Canada Revenue Agency triggered controversy after it transferred
the first batch of Canadian banking records to the IRS in September
2015 in the midst of the election campaign, without waiting for an
assessment by Canada's privacy commissioner or the outcome of a legal
challenge to the agreement's constitutionality.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Treasury Board President Scott Brison
and Public Safety Minister Ralph Goodale have dropped calls to scrap
the deal, which they had made before the Liberals came to power.
Watchdog wants proactive notification
Privacy Commissioner Daniel Therrien has raised concerns about the
information sharing, questioning whether financial institutions are
reporting more accounts than necessary. Under the agreement, financial
institutions only have to report accounts belonging to those believed
to be U.S. persons if they contain more than $50,000.
Therrien has also suggested the CRA proactively notify individuals
that their financial records had been shared with the IRS. However,
the CRA has been reluctant to agree to Therrien's suggestion.
Racial Profiling 20160107
Privacy Commissioner Daniel Therrien has questioned whether the CRA is
transmitting more banking records to the IRS than is necessary.
(Adrian Wyld/Canadian Press)
NDP revenue critic Pierre-Luc Dusseault said the increase in the
number of files transferred was "surprising," and he questioned
whether financial institutions are only sharing records of accounts
worth more than $50,000.
"I don't see how there would be 150,000 more accounts reportable to
the IRS in one year. It is something I will look into."
Dusseault said the CRA should notify every Canadian resident whose
banking records are shared with the IRS.
Lynne Swanson, of the Alliance for the Defence of Canadian
Sovereignty, which is challenging the information sharing agreement in
Federal Court, said she has no idea why the number of banking records
shared with the IRS doubled.
Youngest MP 20110519
NDP revenue critic Pierre-Luc Dusseault says the CRA should notify
every Canadian resident whose banking records are shared with the IRS.
(Adrian Wyld/Canadian Press)
"It still seems low in comparison to the number of Canadians that are
affected by this," she said. "It is estimated that a million Canadians
are affected by this."
Hopes for repeal
Swanson hopes that U.S. President Donald Trump, or Congress — which is
now controlled by the Republican Party — will scrap FATCA. The
Republican platform pledged to do away with the information collecting
legislation.
"FATCA not only allows 'unreasonable search and seizures' but also
threatens the ability of overseas Americans to lead normal lives," the
platform reads. "We call for its repeal and for a change to
residency-based taxation for U.S. citizens overseas."
Swanson's group is also hoping the Federal Court of Canada will
intervene, although a date has not yet been set for a hearing.
"A foreign government is essentially telling the Canadian government
how Canadian citizens and Canadian residents should be treated. It is
a violation of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms."

>> >>> Board, …[[1978] 1 S.C.R. 369, 68 D.L.R. (3d) 716], at p. 394, is the

>> >>> unconsciously, would not decide fairly."
>> >>>
>> >>> [17] The issue to be determined is whether an informed

>> >>> Court of Appeal determined that the judge was not disqualified if the

>> >>> 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

>> >>>
>> >>>
>> >>> 28 The point can rightly be made that had Mr. Patterson been

>> >>> 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

>> >>> 29 It seems to me that what appears at first sight to be an
>> >>> inconsistency in application of rules can be explained by the
>> >>> different contexts and in particular, the strong presumption of
>> >>> judicial impartiality that applies in the context of disqualification
>> >>> of a judge. There is no such presumption in cases of allegations of
>> >>> conflict of interest against a lawyer because of a firm's previous

>> >>> 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

>> >>> His or her statement that he or she knew nothing about the case and

>> >>>
>> >>>
>> >>> 30 That brings me then to consider the particular

>> >>> two significant factors that justify the trial judge's decision not

>> >>> To us, one significant factor stands out, and must inform
>> >>> the perspective of the reasonable person assessing the impact of this
>> >>> involvement on Binnie J.'s impartiality in the appeals. That factor
>> >>> is
>> >>> the passage of time. Most arguments for disqualification rest on
>> >>> circumstances that are either contemporaneous to the decision-making,
>> >>> or that occurred within a short time prior to the decision-making.
>> >>> 31 There are other factors that inform the issue. The Wilson
>> >>> Walker firm no longer acted for any of the parties by the time of
>> >>> trial. More importantly, at the time of the motion, Patterson J. had
>> >>> been a judge for six years and thus had not had a relationship with
>> >>> his former firm for a considerable period of time.
>> >>>
>> >>>
>> >>> 32 In my view, a reasonable person, viewing the matter
>> >>> realistically would conclude that the trial judge could deal fairly
>> >>> and impartially with this case. I take this view principally because
>> >>> of the long passage of time and the trial judge's lack of involvement
>> >>> in or knowledge of the case when the Wilson Walker firm had carriage.
>> >>> In these circumstances it cannot be reasonably contended that the
>> >>> trial judge could not remain impartial in the case. The mere fact
>> >>> that
>> >>> his name appears on the letterhead of some correspondence from over a
>> >>> decade ago would not lead a reasonable person to believe that he
>> >>> would
>> >>> either consciously or unconsciously favour his former firm's former
>> >>> client. It is simply not realistic to think that a judge would throw

>> >>> a
>> >>> client - about whom he knew nothing - of a firm that he left six

>> >>> earlier and that no longer acts for the client, in a case involving

>> >>> (emphasis added)
>> >>>
>> >>> [19] Justice Webb had no involvement with any matter
>> >>> involving Mr. Amos while he was a member of Patterson Palmer or
>> >>> Patterson Law, nor does Mr. Amos suggest that he did. Mr. Amos made
>> >>> it
>> >>> clear during the hearing of this matter that the only reason for the

>> >>> Patterson Law and Patterson Palmer. This is simply not enough for

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

>> >>> [21] In Del Zotto v. Minister of National Revenue, [2000] 4

>> >>> Amos while he was a lawyer with Patterson Palmer or Patterson Law.
>> >>>
>> >>> [22] Mr. Amos also included with his submissions a CD. He

>> >>> of an American police surveillance wiretap entitled 139” on this CD.
>> >>> He has also indicated that he has “provided a true copy of the CD

>> >>>
>> >>> [26] The issue on the cross-appeal is as follows: Did the

>> >>> the prothonotary made an error of law or a palpable and overriding

>> >>> [28] In the case at bar, the Judge substituted his own
