Bitter feud ensues after landlord's failed attempt to raise tenants' rent 65%

 
 

Bitter feud ensues after landlord's failed attempt to raise tenants' rent 65%

Landlord claims rental is needed for mother-in-law, but tenant views eviction as retaliation

A New Brunswick tenant says he’s being pushed out of his rented bungalow as retribution for complaining about his landlord, but his landlord says she’s the victim of an unfair tenancy tribunal ruling that is preventing her from using the unit to house family.

Jonathan King and his landlord, Ashmin Goolab, have been embroiled in a bitter year-long dispute involving a notice of a 65 per cent rent increase, a failed eviction attempt, and claims that the unit is needed to house Goolab's mother-in-law.

King, who lives in Chipman, said Goolab is trying to force him and his wife out of their affordably priced bungalow in an effort to circumvent New Brunswick's rent cap, and as retribution for a complaint he made about being given improper notice to alter their lease.

Goolab said she and her family are the victims of the tribunal ruling, as well as unlucky timing in their plans to relocate with her husband and mother-in-law from Ontario to the property they bought in 2024.

"I don't know what to do anymore," Goolab said. "I just, I'm so lost. I'm so frustrated."

New owner, big rent increase

King said he's lived in the two-bedroom home since August 2020 after moving from the United States to live with his wife, who'd already been living in the rental for five years.

He said the bungalow, as well as three other buildings comprising seven units, were sold in August 2024.

That same month, King said he received a letter giving 60 days notice that the lease was being altered to exclude electricity costs.

Then days later, on Sept. 1, 2024, he and his neighbours received notice of rent increases, with his set to go up the following March to $1,200 a month from $727.

"We were shocked and it definitely has put some strain on us and has been an emotional roller-coaster ever since," said King, who also volunteers with ACORN New Brunswick, a social and economic justice group.

King said he appealed both of notices with the Tenant and Landlord Relations Office.

On Nov. 22, he said someone from the office contacted him to confirm his landlord was supposed to have have given 90 days notice for altering the lease agreement, making the notice invalid.

Then unexpectedly, three days later, King said, he received a letter from his landlord's property manager, notifying him the lease was being terminated as of March 1, 2025.

In the notice, the reason given was that the landlord or their immediate family intended to live in the premises — one of the four reasons a landlord is allowed to give when terminating a lease.

The notice surprised him, he said, given the tenants in the bungalow next to his were also being asked to move out, which they did end up doing in November. King said he also later learned that a second unit in another building on the property was vacant.

King again challenged that notice with the Tenant and Landlord Relations Office, arguing it was in retaliation against his earlier complaints.

In January, the office confirmed the rent increase notice was invalid thanks to a three per cent rent cap enacted by the province in November, which was retroactive to September.

And in February, the office also shot down the notice of lease termination, finding it appeared to be issued in retribution.

"Although the Landlord has submitted evidence/arguments to support their position, I am not satisfied that the Notice was not served out of retaliation," residential tenancies officer Justine Northrup wrote in her decision issued Feb. 5.

King said he considered the ruling a victory, because he was able to stay in the unit and only being subject to a rent increase of $21.81.

But the feud with his landlord isn't over, he said.

In September, efforts to terminate King's lease restarted, with Goolab's property manager issuing two notices — one giving 59 days notice, and another giving 105 days notice.

Again, King complained to the tenant office and again it struck those down, saying a termination notice couldn't be issued within a year of a tenant filing a complaint against their landlord.

Then on Dec. 1, just days after that one-year window elapsed, King said he got a fourth termination notice, requiring that he and his wife move out by Feb. 28, 2026.

"I still believe it's, it's retaliatory and almost feels like harassment considering the pattern that we've seen from them serving improper notices," he said.

King said he's contested that latest notice as well.

Victim of unlucky timing, says landlord

When Goolab and her husband, Adam Jeffreys, went property hunting in New Brunswick, they wanted something specific.

Goolab said her father-in-law died in December 2023, leaving her mother-in-law alone in an assisted living complex about an hour's drive from the home they own and live in near Barrie, Ont.

They'd already purchased a detached home in Chipman in 2022, and were looking at the area once again for a property they could live on and that also had space for her mother-in-law and additional income units to supplement their retirement.

She said they landed on a four-building property on Spring Street, which they purchased for $295,000.

It includes two bungalows, a duplex and a triplex at the end of a cul-de-sac.

Goolab said the plan was for her and her husband to live in one of the bungalows and for her mother-in-law to live in the other.

"I honestly feel like I'm on the verge of having a mental breakdown from all the things [Jonathan] is doing to us, and where we haven't done anything," Goolab said.

"All we've done is serve an eviction notice because we want to use our property for our own personal use — for [my] mother-in-law and for ourselves and that's our legal right."

Asked about the two vacant units, Goolab said the bungalow that was vacated last year is where she and her husband were supposed to live, but it was severely damaged by the previous tenants and needs extensive repairs.

The other unit, in the triplex, is where she and her husband stay when they visit to work on the damaged bungalow and manage other property issues.

As for why she issued a rent increase if the plan was to evict King and his wife, Goolab said rents for the other tenants were being raised in September, and she considered it fair to include his unit because it was unclear when she and her family would move to New Brunswick.

With New Brunswick's rent cap preventing her from raising the rents more, she and her husband are "bleeding money left, right and centre" and feel stuck in a tough situation, she said.

"We did our absolute best to provide what is fair to all of our tenants with staying with market rents for those properties," she said.

"But also considering the fact that … this property was not just handed to us for free. This property was not given to us for the price that the previous owner paid for it."

Tenant points to loophole in rent cap

King said he's sympathetic with Goolab for the death of her father-in-law, but he's still skeptical of her story.

He said his experience highlights how landlords can potentially circumvent the rent cap, as it doesn't apply when there's turnover in a unit.

Jonathan King stands inside a home.King says landlords can get around a rent cap of three per cent if tenants aren't aware of their rights. (Submitted by Jonathan King)

Making things worse, the Tenant and Landlord Relations Office has no process to be automatically flagged when a landlord issues a notice — regardless if whether it's legal — putting the onus on tenants to file a complaint.

"So while the three per cent cap is a good start, it doesn't take into consideration these loopholes and that's something we're hoping to fix at ACORN," King said.

Wasn't that long ago a long term tenant was an asset when buying or selling a rental unit, today they seem to be a liability.

That is a problem, especially in big cities. Some own a number of properties, and are actually empty since no one can afford them.

Toronto has a problem with condos. Some places would be considered uninhabitable. Others are rented for short periods at exorbitant rates. So, there are many empty homes. Properties are left empty for profit when investors hold them vacant, betting on future value increases, or to avoid lowering market rents and maintain high property valuations for loans.

Methinks if you want to make a tenant in NB laugh tell him your plan in a bilingual N'esy Pas?

So this lady does not understand that there is a rental cap of 3% in NB. If her tenant is paying $727.00 she can raise it approximately $22.00. Because she has not understood this or the required notice dates required, she is upset. I do feel that the rent for a home including electricity is low but that is not the tenants fault. If she follows the laws and raises it as is allowed, the tenant will have to pay. She can't go by other rental rates ... she bought the units and obviously the tenants were included in the deal she made.

Residential leases are typically for a year and if no new lease is executed it then continues on a month to month basis. These tenants have been there since 2020.

As the wife has been there for 10 years, there is also a clause that needs to be respected in evicting long term tenants, and the notice period. Time effectively stopped with the first formal complaint,

Lee Bragg: Lessons from a Canadian Telecom CEO

 
 
 
 
 
Dec 12, 2025
In this episode, Lee Bragg, Vice Chair of Eastlink and member of the Bragg Business Family, shares how a Nova Scotian family business grew from its rural roots into a diversified enterprise spanning telecom, frozen foods, and airport services. Lee explains the group’s disciplined approach to risk, return, and diversification—and why capital allocation, not just entrepreneurship, sits at the heart of their long-term success. He also discusses why the Braggs prioritize meritocracy over nepotism, and how strong governance and clear expectations help protect both the family and the business across generations.

Hey
        Before all the Parliamentarians argue and then vote to support further Canadian deaths in one of George W. Bush's Wars for Global Control for the benefit of his corporate cohorts perhaps, you should at least listen to the attachments if you do not wish to bother to read what Billy Casey and the Bankers got on May 12th. If I can assist in preventing the demise of just one more Canadian warrior in a malicious foreign war, all of my work will have been worth it EH?
         If everyone ignores me as usual, I will not be surprised. At least I will sleep well with my conscience tonight because I know I have done my very best to stop the nonsense since early 2002 long before the War in Iraq began. None of you deserve to sleep well at all because you all supported Harper's orders to send our people to war even before the 39th Parliament sat this year. As far as I am concerned the blood of four very honourable soldiers can be found on your hands. Shame on all of you for not even bothering to honour our dead by lowering the flag on the Peacetower. As long as I have been aware and could consider myself a Proad Canadian, I thought we were peacekeepers rather than poorly paid hired guns for crooked corporations, corrupt politicians and their wicked Yankee bible pounding buddies.

 Deja Vu Anyone? Anyone?
That's what John Crosbie wore in 1979, the last time a budget brought down a Canadian government in a minority-Parliament situation. It proved to be a bad omen, given that the Conservative government of the day foundered on Crosbie's document.
The mukluks proved to be symbolic of Joe Clark's short-lived administration -- overconfident and blind to convention. As Crosbie observed in his memoirs, Clark "decided to govern as though we had a majority, a decision that was as arrogant as it was presumptuous." By RANDY BURTON — Saskatoon Star-Phoenix

RE: Blowing the whistle on big banks and corrupt politicians too.
Hey,
        Flaherty’s budget looming on the horizon tonight is gonna get the big OK from the Bloc EH? Well a mean old bike mechanic in the Maritimes has been waiting to chuck a wrench in the works of many a crooked beancounter. I just served your offices in hand some of the same material that Andre Arthur MP and Senator Kinsella received before the 39th Parliament began. I am also giving you other material and a political rant that they did not receive. The legal counsel of all the monstrous Canadian banks have shown me their arses, two for a month and three for almost two years. It is high time to boot you bankers out off bed with the corrupt politicians you depend on to cover up wrongs or sue you bastards too. N’est pas?
       You can expect to see litigation against the Crown soon. The severe of lack integrity of people employed in public service to protect the public interests has caused me to prosecute a matter of public trust in Pro Se fashion. As is my right. I will do my best to hold accountable all those in public office, public service and the lawyers etc that have acted wrongfully against me. In the past I filed forms in the public record and in confidence, argued cops, sued treasury agents, lawyers, judges, an Attorney General who aspires to be a Governor and even a high priest. To no avail, I made thousands of phone calls, sent many more emails and sent mountains of letters proving my concerns and sincerity. To date no one has ever called me a liar but all of it was ignored all the same. If there were such a thing as an honest cop, lawyer or politician they could never deny that it is ridiculous that a whistleblower would have to go to such lengths to attempt to see Justice served in two purported Democracies. Pursuant to my quest for Justice, you will find enclosed hard copy of the material that I promised I would send to you before we meet in court. The copy of wiretap tape # 139 that all law enforcement authorities in Canada and the USA have refused investigate should be of the greatest concern to all of you right away. It is served upon you in confidence as officers of the court. Prepare to argue me about many more tapes and cases of other documents. The bankers and I may be arguing the Securities, Bank and Tax Fraud in the USA sooner than they think. The AT&T dudes should have known police surveillance tapes when they heard them. EH?
       Whether you admit it or not, I know I have served upon you some of the irrefutable evidence that should have warranted the process to impeach George W. Bush years ago. All who sat in the 37th, 38th and now the 39th Parliament know why the Yankee DHS tried to take me away to Cuba on April 1st, 2003. It was because of my legitimate efforts to expose Bush and his cohorts BEFORE the War on Iraq began. For years legions of politicians, lawyers, cops, bankers and priests proved an Orwellian truth as they laughed at my ethical efforts to defend the rights and interests of my Clan. "In the time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act" EH? Do you think your banks’ investors will laugh like your lawyers did? By law and the rules of your professions you must conduct yourselves ethically and hold matters in confidence. I do not. Now it is a rebel rouser’s turn to laugh as you turn page. Awful truths will put your fancy panties in a knot yet make me feel as free as my big balls do under my kilt. J
       Please fell free to sue me if you disagree but you, Stevey Boy Harper got your party its mandate with rhetoric claiming to crack down on crime and hold the government accountable. Now that Conservatives have had the reigns of power for over three months, Stockwell Day at the very least must be well aware of all the secrets the two previous liberal governments kept from you and us Common Canadian Citizens. The secrets about me that most other Canadians do not give a damn about, do concern me greatly. Ask the Commissioner, John Reid, he must know of the cover up of my efforts to expose the well known rampant cross border public corruption that has caused my little Clan to suffer so. His office hung up on me on the very day he was speaking about the Conservatives’ new rules to Parliament. No doubt he knows of the evidence I have provided over the years to many Canadian law enforcement authorities that is considered a matter of public safety. Yet we all know it is not. Nevertheless it has caused three very corrupt Canadian Federal governments and all Provincial governments to willfully support the malice of Yankee State and Federal governments acting wrongfully against me. WHY?
         Now Harper has shown us his true colours, too bad for you that the DHS did not manage to take me away to Cuba. EH Mr. Day? I must ask you in court someday soon if you have listened to the original wiretap tapes that I provided to CSIS and the RCMP before and after the federal election in 2004. It was done before I was falsely imprisoned in a Yankee jail. Why did the nasty Canadian Consulate officers in Boston refuse to accept any more of the Yankee wiretap tapes that my wife tried to give to them while I sat in jail held under the charges of "other" without bail or even being legally arrested or charged? As I sat in a jail in Beantown Eliot Spitzer, a Yankee in New York made the big score with my info. Yet he allowed Morgan Stanley to sue my wife? The 38th Parliament continued to ignore my plight throughout its mandate. As we all watched Bush pull off another very questionable election it appears only I saw Count Peter-Hans Kolvenbach fly to the USA to speak in aid of the very evil smoke and mirror show. EH?
        Whereas all Canadian authorities have ignored my pleas for assistance for three years, I must sue the Crown to seek relief under the Charter for my government’s deliberate assistance in malicious prosecution and false imprisonment etc. Did you politicians think I was kidding when I said it in January on CTV News? The smirking newsman, Stevey Boy Murphy asked me clearly and I answered him plainly. It was watched live all over the Maritimes just minutes before the only time I was ever allowed to debate dumb Andy Scott in front of a live crowd as I ran against him for his seat in Parliament. Many common folks heard me say it and have commented about it in the months since. Some of them must have questioned some of their various MPs by now. I watched a friend confront his MP, Greg Thompson in front folks of two ridings. He gave all other candidates running against two seated Conservatives a copy of the letter he served upon Thompson in hand. Now you have your copy too. Thompson in front of witnesses promised to respond in writing to his constituent before polling day three months ago. Just as I suspected, the new Cabinet Minister broke his promise. I know for a fact in 2005 Greg Thompson, Bill Casey and Andy Scott ignored other constituents of theirs who brought hard copy of my material to their local offices personally while I was being illegally prosecuted in the USA. Obviously our MPs Liberal or Conservative have no respect for their own constituents if they are kin or friends of mine. EH?
      Check the letter that Landslide Annie McLellan sent to me when she had Stockwell Day ‘s day job. Clearly she was compelled to answer me after so many high placed Yankees had already done so. She did what all Martinites have done in the past and blamed one of Chretien’s arseholes, Wayne Easter for my plight as a whistleblower. Stockwell Day did you get off your Jet Ski to follow the lead of liberals such as a dumb PEI farmer and a very malicious political lawyer from Nova Scotia? You will not provide me any assistance whatsoever as is required by the mandate of your office? None of your underlings even the nervous Marshal dude will do me the simple courtesy of calling me back just like your political cohorts never did? Your little Newfy buddy, Rob Moore forgot something just as Landslide Annie as the Minister of Justice did when Easter was Solicitor General. She did not have any idea what mechanism a layman would employ to hold many a corrupt Parliamentarian accountable. The answer is so simple to me. Sue the Bastards. Didn’t anyone notice I have done it in the past to many Yankees? I have changed my style and waited until some very corrupt public servants were out of public office so that they could not employ the weight of a corrupt justice system against me. Vic Toews will have his job cut out trying to defend the malice of all three recent government mandates two of them liberal against one Proud Canadian. EH? J
      Whereas Federal Court in Canada does not allow me the right to a trial by jury and its Commissioner David Gourdeau has shown his arse too, I plan to do a double check in the USA. With luck, at about the same time my matters may begin in Fredericton, I will be seeking a jury in a Yankee Federal Court with a lawsuit against some very crooked Canadian political lawyers and their many Yankee associates acting against other Canadians, Yankees and me. In the "mean" time I have been lining up ducks while Jumping Jimmy Flaherty was drop kicking his wicked budget past the very confused corrupt clucking Chickenshits sitting as the opposition in the Chicken House. Tonight byway of the Bloc I am making my best fiercely political efforts to see that all Conservatives will be looking for a new day job far from the Hill in Upper Canada. Then I will give this material to other bankers when I judge the time is right. Any great mechanic knows that there is true magic in the timing of things. If a crook in opposition blinks and mentions me in a public forum even after the budget is allowed, it will be all over but the crying for George W, Bush and his lapdog, Stevey Boy Harper. Who may wish to mingle with the media soon is interesting. EH?
       If the bankers who did not wish to call me back last month want this material explained, it is the task of the Thomson dudes, Jealous Johnny Manley and Franky Boy McKenna to do now. I did my best to make certain they knew everything over the years. The Thomson dudes claim to know everything that goes on in court in Canada and the USA. The Upper Canadian lawyer was Minister of Finance etc in the 37th Parliament, and the Maritimer was our Ambassador to the USA under the mandate of the 38th. They can explain the malice of Landslide Annie and her many cohorts in support of corrupt bankers etc. Better yet let the Yankee lawyer Michael Hefler and his Canadian counterpart Deborah Alexander explain their support of Putnam Investments, Brian Mulroney, Cendant Corp. and Franky McKenna’s old BMO crowd etc. Tell me, do ya think my name came up when they cooked a little deal between Citigroup and Scotia Bank recently? Jennifer Warren should be capable of explaining why Garfield Emerson quit the Rogers outfit recently. Geoffrey Beattie of Thomson Corp no doubt can explain why David Allgood is playing dumb. Need I say that the brotherhood of the bar and bankers make me as sick as politicians do?
      The reason I ran against the aptly named lawyer, Rob Moore in 2004 should be painfully clear to all Canadians in recent days. Stevey Boy Harper is proving to all that he is a lapdog for Bush just like Franky Boy McKenna said of him years ago. I do not have put one word in the text of this letter in support of what many Proud Canadians are agreeing with in Frank Boy’s political dogma speech years ago in support of the reelection of Rotten Ralphy Goodale. The fact that Moore is now Canada’s Parliamentary Secretary for the Minister of Justice greatly offends me. All Canadians have the right to know why. If he or any other Canadian lawyer had acted as a proper officer of the court then my Clan would not be suffering from many wrongs right now. The Yankee Carpetbagger, David Lutz whom I had given this material to BEFORE Moore was elected in 2004 must agree. I am very curious what Rob Moore will say in Parliament in his own defense when I put him and Lutz in bed in a Canadian complaint.
       Rob Moore can explain to all Canadians why I think the blood of four very honourable Canadian soldiers and countless others can be found on his hands and that of his cohorts. In June of 2004 during a debate at the Moss Glen Legion we were questioned in front of many people including David Lutz, I stated my position clearly with regards to War. In defense of our warriors I said that they must get the best training and weapons possible, then be kept home to defend our country. That is their job. Lutz a Yankee draft dodger nodded in agreement. Moore did not argue me because he did not need to. Less is more for Moore when matters are a sure thing. The Blue Coat got the seat he expected to win in Fundy just like my dog would have if she had worn his coat. However Moore and Lutz are lessor men than I because of their inaction as purportedly ethical men. If the lawyers in Moore and Lutz disagreed with all I wrote of them since, why didn’t they sue me to protect their reputations? The answer is the same as I have proven in the turncoat Bad Boy Billy Matthews versus Byron Prior matter in Newfoundland. Politically appointed Judges like Derek Green or lawyers like Bernard Roy controlling the show in court or Inquiry only cover up and delay awful truths. It is important that public corruption be argued in public view quickly. Thus I will sue Crown. Before anyone attempts to deny what I have just stated, study this material closely. Look how sending this material to any of you is truly redundant. The evidence that you or your associates and I crossed have paths many times in the past is irrefutable despite the fact that I can prove my many letters, phone calls and emails that I sent over the years. Turn the page, lawyers. It gets worse for you J
        If any of you truly do not know who I am, it is the Fed’s fault, not mine. I can easily prove that the Feds have done no service whatsoever for the public they have an obligation to serve. The fact that the Feds have done their worst to keep my legitimate actions a whistleblower secret with false claims such as confidentiality or public security further serves to prove my point about rampant public corruption. To refute the false claims of secrecy, I must point out that much of my work can still be found in the public record of many courts in Canada, the USA and on the Internet as well. Last fall my wife saw a copy of wiretap tape # 139 in the docket of a Yankee court that anyone could listen to. I had filed that copy in a sealed envelope with that court in order to protect the Fourth Amendment Rights of the people recorded on it. As you can see by the documents I have provided that one year ago the District Attorney in Boston lost the many original wiretap tapes that I gave him in court in 2004. Nothing yet has been said about my lawyer in the USA sending 9 original wiretap tapes to the Senate Judiciary Committee in Congress this year on February 7th. So much for Yankees upholding the law EH? Canadians are no better.
        As you can see despite my wife and my lawyer’s best efforts to stop them, the Yankees seized our home without warrants or due process of law. A couple more Yankee bankers and insurance dudes made out like the bandits they are. This was done while my children and I were in Canada last summer without a home. Nobody in Canada or the UN even bothered to care about our Human Rights. All of my pleas to the spendthrifts Adrienne Clarkson, Pierre Pettigrew and their replacements Michaelle Jean, Petey Baby MacKay were ignored despite our Canadian birthright and our rights under the Charter. Canada supported the theft of our property including many original wiretap tapes I had in my possession in our home.
      I have been recently informed that Yankees have sold all of my possessions at a public auction including the wiretap tapes. However, much to chagrin of Yankees, I have proven that I have many more wiretap tapes in Canada and elsewhere. The aforesaid malicious auction of my property was done while my Clan is still awaiting a long delayed trial about the illegal actions against us. Our property was supposed to be safely stored according to the rules of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts Department of Public Safety until the matter was resolved. This latest malice begs the obvious question..
       Whereas Yankee law enforcement authorities feel free to violate their Constitution and sell wiretap tapes of their citizens at public auction, why can’t I do the same? Interesting question. EH? Why should I as a Canadian Citizen care about the Civil Rights of Yankee mobsters and their families anymore when their evil government does not? Methinks I should sell a few on EBAY in Europe to see if I can recoup some of my losses ASAP. I could use the funds from the sale of the wiretap tapes to sue many lawyers etc in the USA and Canada. Look at the very dumb answers I got in 2003 from a crooked District Attorney in Massachusetts and the corrupt US Attorney in New Hampshire, before you try to claim that what I would be doing is illegal. The former is a good friend of Argeo P. Cellucci and the latter enforces federal code in the State where I now permanently reside. Both Yankees claim the tapes are not what I say they are but merely evidence in a probate action? What planet do Yankee lawyers come from?
I can’t be the only person on this planet who wishes to see George W. Bush impeached ASAP. Ask the fat dumb happy Yankee Michael Moore before you disagree. These tapes may fetch quite a price from story hungry dudes such as he. Truth is stranger than fiction and far more marketable and profitable with less money spent in production using real people instead of big name actors. Even clever lawyers must admit that wiretap tape # 139 makes one wonder what happened next. EH? Stay tuned dudes. Small portions of other tapes may be in your email inbox for you to listen to. Other politicians can read the text of this letter and listen to their Parliamentary email along with the rest of mine they have ignored for over three years. The many words of a fiercely political rant may be added as a postscript to the text of this letter and sent to the government’s opposition first. I must be fair. You dudes got this letter first. My next email may cause quite a stir amongst the clucking Chickenshits in the House. Canadians should find it very interesting indeed if one or more the smiling bastards decide to mention my name to the Speaker.
       How they vote against the political pollution of hot air from the windbags of Baird and Flaherty that is stinking up the House is critical to our future. I see no need to let all the cats out of the bag in this letter to you but for fun just check my work. See me teasing Derek Burney and his boss Brian Mulroney? They know the Barbarian at the gate who is me knows what lawyers hold the keys that lock all political parties together on both sides of the 49th parallel. One nasty Yankee’s name is Harper too. J
       That smiling bastard’s law office ain’t too far from the UN. EH? Depending how far left you are Michael Ignatieff,Canada’s Prince of Darkness or our Sexist Cerebral man knows the Yankee Harper quite well. Derek Burney and Karl Rove as aymen or Louis Freeh and the new General Counsel of the FBI as lawyers would likely agree with little ol me and on one thing. It is that bigassed Yankee lawyers like the one named Harper makes little liberal lawyers such as Humpty Dumpty, Land Slide Annie, Asinine Allan Rock, Franky Boy McKenna, and Johnny Jealous Manley look like the little lost puppies truly they are. Perhaps bankers etc will want Franky Boy McKenna to call some crooked cop he knows hanging out in his hometown to figure out how to handle me now. Before you do, check my work that I have provided to you to see what I have already given you many clues not to. I have had enough police harassment for any ten men to stand. My ghost or I will sue every cop that has tried to stop me from justifiably and legally seeking justice. There is no middle ground for any honest man to stand on in my battles against very corrupt justice systems in two purported Democracies. The interests of investors in many banks would be better served if the bankers chastised in public view a certain few employees who deliberately failed to uphold the law and protect the public’s interests invested in their bank and many other publicly held companies. From a Canadian’s perspective of the world I know that the interests of all Canadians are bought and sold on Yankee stock markets everyday. I know of many lawyers who should be knocked off their high horses ASAP. In fact I just named some them. EH?
        Canadian politicians should know this before the vote on the budget becomes a matter of history. I truly believe that Conservatives will continue to follow Bush’s lead for the benefit of the bankers whose HQ’s surround Flaherty’s office. Like Bush he will try to take our country deep into debt. Bankers and politicians will do what they wish with the world, tis true. Trust that I don’t care the more the merrier for me in litigation. You dudes are about to meet a rather formidable layman in court. I have been studying and arguing law night and day for four years, all the while clearing each and every hurtle that rampant public corruption has thrown into my path to Justice. I will not pity any lawyer who chooses to stand in court beside the likes of Franky Boy, Landslide Annie and Humpty Dumpty. You can see that Harper has ignored the words of the Accountability Act with doubletalk if his pals need money for their party war chests. Our little Lord of NB and his buddy Brad Green affirmed that they knew the same truths that Rob Moore, Franky Boy and Landslide Annie did years ago. It was within a few days of the election and Humpty Dumpty’s Third World boat named after his wife was caught in Nova Scotia bringing cocaine to Canada along with more Blood Coal. Humpty Dumpty employed lawyer’s rhetoric and recused himself and Landslide Annie’s underlings made the matter evaporate. Harper just looked away in support even as Humpty Dumpty picked Franky Boy to be our Ambassador within the year to obviously support the Yankee’s malicious persecution of me rather than act within the scope of his employment as a public servant. If bankers do not understand my words, blame your own lawyers. David Allgood should have walked the talk of Chris Montague’s words about Red Flags in his speech on Feb 11th 2005 and called me back if he did not wish to argue me in court. When I called both of them Deborah Alexander, Ronald Sirkis and Jennifer Warren were past too late. They knew of wiretap tapes and Bank Fraud etc since 2004.
      This year after the Conservative government accepted Franky Boy’s resignation and well before the TD Financial Group hired Franky Boy, I called his spokesperson Ruth McCrae. After a minor spit and chew ensued, she told me to sue her along with the law firm of McInnes and Cooper. A liberal talk show host Tom Young will soon affirm that I do not have to be asked twice to sue someone but I did call many partners of the aforesaid law firm to see if they agreed with Franky Boy and his outspoken gal. The words of the lawyer Costello, a partner who argues NB Power on behalf of the Venezuela and the silence of the rest affirmed that all apparently stood with McKenna including some of the former partners of Paterson and Palmer. Furthermore, Franky Boy should have disclosed everything about a potential lawsuit etc to the TD Financial dudes before accepting his new position. However I was very open and very honest with them as soon as I was aware of his new job. Now that Franky Boy and I are both back home in our old stomping grounds and I am on the warpath, John Manley may quit hustling the Ottawa Senators hockey team to CIBC. It would be wise to try to explain why Franky Boy praised Yankee success at pond hockey to the law partners of Burns and Levenson whom he partied with last fall instead of being a proper public servant and discussing with Yankees the failings of their partner, my Guardian Ad Litem Brian Bixby. J
         For my benefit, I made it a point to look into Stevey Boy Harper’s pale blue eyes on June 19th, 2004 when he stopped in Sussex for ice cream the day after I debated Rob Moore the first time. We both knew each other at a glance. Lets just say I found nothing I admired behind Stevey Boy’s eyes. His soul is far meaner than Rob Moore’s. With luck on my side, this year my fellow Maritimers should be entertained and educated in a three-ring circus of a long awaited monumental hoe-down in court. Our little Lord’s justice system that his buddy, Cleveland Allaby was well paid to study in secret years ago will be the unwilling confused ringmaster to oversee the affair. When it comes to being showmen Franky Boy and I are on and even keel. We are both smiling bastards who crack a lot of jokes fearlessly in front of crowds. To his advantage, he is a lawyer whereas I am not. He is famous whereas I am not. Franky Boy is very wealthy, whereas I am not. On the other hand, I am honest whereas he is not. I have many friends that I can trust, whereas he does not. I have much evidence of many crimes he has covered up in his personal pursuit of lucre, whereas he has only fancy legal doubletalk. Franky Boy has climbed high up on the crooked totem pole of affluence pedaling his influence over common Maritimers without a common man’s conscience that is lost to all lawyers. Franky Boy and his many pals in banks and companies such as the Carlyle Group may gain the whole world at the expense of their own souls. However one pigheaded ethical soul will try hard to hold them all accountable by just knocking a few off their high horses. I also know there are many souls in the Maritimes who were entertained and understand the meaning of the old story of David versus Goliath or my name ain’t Dave. Watch me look into the eyes of the people I pick for a jury before I start chucking rocks in court.
        Stevey Boy Harper and his little lawyer Rob Moore would not understand why I am humming the old tune sung the dude who loved to hang around mobsters but many other old farts like me will. They will understand why I am writing the letter in April and delivering it in hand to my MP Bill Casey in May. (I am sending Duccepe and Fortier the same material Allan Rock and Franky Boy received last May) To give the devil his due, that old dead Yankee Franky Boy sang "That’s Life" very well. Methinks that Stevey Boy’s big mistake was following the directions of Derek Burney and Karl Rove too closely. He really should learn to think for himself. He is flying too high in April for his own good in May. It seems that Harper don’t even know that what goes up always comes down. The higher they go the harder they fall. Ask Humpty Dumpty. The clucking chickens in opposition may shoot his government down in May without the effect he desires. To challenge the opposition to unseat him just because he is momentarily higher in the polls is dumb beyond belief. If Mulroney and his cohorts think Harper can win a majority in the House next time around simply by blaming the opposition for causing the election, they do not remember Humpty Dumpty’s big faux pas last year. I sincerely hope that next week holds a very bad day for many nasty political Maritimers who have kissed Upper Canadian fat fancy arses for years. It has always been Hard Times in the Maritimes and it is their fault. N’est Pas?
      Time will tell the tale. Right now I can only wish that my efforts help knock Jumping Jimmy Flaherty out of his new jump boots and into the Newfy, Crosbie’s old mukluks from 1979. With any luck at all Luc Lavoie will not be so lucky anymore. He and all the other all clucking Conservatives will start singing for more Tequila from Sheila as Dominic LeBlanc learns how to play his Daddy’s kazoo. As I look towards the horizon in the direction of far off Upper Canada, I will dream of Petey Baby MacKay and his very punky hunky dory sinking beneath the waves of bullshit that has kept him afloat for years. There is no denying that I will chuckle as I imagine his very nasty ex sweetyfart Belinda Baby picking up the phone and calling Magna Entertainment’s Yankee VP Argeo P. Cellucci and its General Counsel Don Amos. Her Big Daddy Franky may want to rip them new arseholes for in order to shove each other’s head into. Clearly they did not do a good job protecting the interests of Stronach’s publicly held company from one pigheaded Maritimer who is serious gambling man in the big game called New World Order. I am still gambling that there is no honour amongst thieves and somebody will blink in order to protect their own butt. I too am wondering and ain’t betting on the ethics of any politician. For instance only a fool would bet on the ethics of Andre Arthur the Independent MP and if he will quit being as quiet as a mouse in the House. If the government goes down, I doubt he will get elected again. He had his chance to do the right thing just as Chucky Cadman did years ago. The Yankee midterm election is the biggest game in the world right now. Ask my Clan’s Senator Teddy Kennedy. J
     I will wager that I do know why nobody wants to talk to or about me. The dark horse in this game is the one who will blink, when and where. Knowing who won’t say a word is easy. Strangely predicting who may be honest is tough. How sad is that? For instance Senator Kinsella’s malice against me was a nobrainer. I expected it about as much as that he would vote for Lynch in Fredericton. On the other hand Andre Arthur had no ethical reason whatsoever to ignore me particularly after reading things he has said in the past. His recent appointment to oversee the CRTC proves to me that he is a crooked as Hell. He must have known he was finally free from all the lawyers that had once chastised him in the past. They cannot hold him accountable for whatever he says in the House to a nationwide audience as an MP like they once did when he spoke on local radio. The chickenshit, Andre Arthur may be laying back and waiting for just the right point in time to start clucking into the Parliamentary record to make history in his own best interests. I don’t know. Nor do I care if he has a plan or is just holding to a backroom deal. I do know when we talked on the phone months ago, I could tell that he did not have any balls at all. The silence of a former big talking talk show host from Quebec spoke volumes to me months ago about why that Frenchman won’t mingle with the media he now oversees. His appointment to the committee that oversees the very dudes who once tortured him, stinks of backroom deal and a political payoff to me. All Andre Arthur or anyone else in the House had to do this month or in the years before was to have the sand to stand up and ask the Speaker in a question period on the record simply state the following. "Who the Hell is David Raymond Amos and what the Hell is talking about?" There I even wrote the script for him just in case he or anyone sprouts some testicles real soon. If anyone acts like an ethical Parliamentarian, it will be Rob Moore’s task to explain my affairs to the House. I will lay odds that if Andre Arthur or anyone else were certain that they could profit rather than suffer from such few words, they would. love to make history and become the hero who saved Democracy for us all.
         Nobody will talk to me for the same reason Arthur is silent to everyone else. It is based in political deceit. Justice is always a matter of political will rather than the way that it should be. I am just wise enough to know I can be the most effective in finding a little justice when the political process is flux. Bernie Shapiro’s office and that of his fellow crook, Jean Fournier’s have denied receiving anything of mine from Andre Arthur or Noel Kinsella. That makes me understand that I am on the right track this time. When Shapiro’s office called me last year, they were nervous campers after I had made Parliament uphold an act and give Fournier a job so that I could complain to him about Senator Joe Day. The far from ethical parliamentary counselors are quite likely hiding under a rug somewhere in the House and praying Baird’s Accountability Act replaces them soon. Shapiro and Fournier are just playing dumb while waiting to duck out the back and scurry into the sunset with unearned severance pays in their purses. Once they are all out of public service, they will become just a few more paragraphs to me in a future complaint against many individuals out of public service I plan to sue. The rats abandoning Humpty Dumpty’s boat like David Dingwall and Howie Wilson should offend anyone with half a mind. Most ordinary folks have all but forgotten the Dingwall affair but I doubt most did not even know who the dude Howie Wilson was or how he assisted Landslide Annie in making Humpty Dumpty’s doings with Tainted Blood disappear on everyone else’s watch but mine. Does anyone but me remember where the bad blood came from and who made the deal with whom? I do. This brings me to why I find the Bloc so interesting these days. I know Ducceppe is a crooked as the rest but some other Bloc may want to fill his shoes. Humpty Dumpty’s loss was a given, to me. The loss of the Bloc and the Conservative gain was a surprise to everyone. It would be truly comical if their leader, Ducceppe were to act ethically on my behalf after all these years. It is not beyond the realms of possibility that he could be the next PM if the Bloc had the majority next time around. The other parties could be so decimated by his integrity that maybe a legion of Independents would inhabit the House. Less of a pipe dream would be that perhaps the Bloc could get the ten seats in Quebec from the Conservatives and truly make the Liberal history as well. C’est Vrai?
     I know what I just stated seems crazy but think about it for a minute. Ignore what crooked liberals such as the local talk show host, Tom Young may say of me being a nut. He retracted "the fool for a client spiel" in another matter when it suited his political agenda. He knows I was not nuts in my predictions about picking Speakers, the Tanker Malley affair or wiretap tapes too. Young was not wise to challenge a man such as I to sue him on live radio. I ain’t that foolish not to sue Jennifer Warren and Rogers Media J
.     Whatever liberals such as Young and his cohorts in Rogers say about me negative or otherwise on the radio almost two years later is gravy after I had made my mission known byway of his own program. I openly declared that it was my Securities Fraud issues that should most concern my fellow Maritimers. Soon it is my turn to fall silent in the text of this letter anyway. However before I do become truly silent you may wish to know that some of you will receive this letter in your email and see it posted on the Internet at about the same time the budget vote becomes history. I cannot give you time to run political damage control. I have long understood your wicked game of hear, no evil, see no evil and speak no evil for your own benefit and not the people you claim to serve. I know that the things like Freedom and Justice that lawyers claim are so important in a Democracy are merely myths. Bankers and lawyers know as well as I that Freedom does not have prayer because Justice is bought and sold everyday to the highest bidder in the marketplace and the courts. Money is all the beancounters care about as they count the percentage points of gain and lawyers follow suit in their fees for assisting in the malice against us all. The corrupt Yankees that you people support have taught me a lot about how to deal with many crooked Canadians. The answer is simple. Make Justice a matter of political will particularly in a time of War.
Now that we all understand the wicked game, why mince words anymore? I am raising the stakes and laying some more of my cards on table before I summons you all to court. You do not have much time to decide if I am bluffing or not. Lets just say I have no doubt whatsoever why the blog in CTV W5 website was deleted recently after it had stood for almost a year. I save all blogs long before they are lost in cyber space. The words of the one within CTV’s W5 domain that was erased for the benefit of CIBC John Manley and the Thomson dudes will resurface somewhere else on the Internet in short order. Hard copy of the aforesaid blog and many others will be presented in various courts someday. Dempsey the lawyer, who has since fallen silent had apparently filed a complaint in BC about what anybody who has studied the banking profession knows to be true. Wise guys know the root of all evil is not exactly money but Filthy Lucre, the words that King James employed just once. Gain of control over the land is the name of the game. Money is just a clever paper tool that is based on nothing at all. The idea of money in the form of a banknote that is no longer based on gold but debt was invented and controlled by bankers and the same holds true for the notion of religion invented the banker’s cohorts the Roman who turned into priests of one god. It is money I must attack and seek because it is what the lawyers who made the rules for the benefit of bankers and priests claim I must do in order to play their wicked game. I did so out of the gate years ago. If you bother to check my work you will see that I employed my right to have the freedom to have no religion at all to attack what the smiling bastards hold most dear, their money.
      The law is clear in matters of money and beancounters rely on such laws. It is against the law for a trustee to give money he holds in trust to any charity on his own accord. For a well-respected old lawyer to assist an ex FBI agent in his wrongs against the terms of a trust and without the knowledge and accent of the beneficiaries is interesting to say the least. To steal it and give it to a church that the beneficiaries have no faith in is particularly offensive especially when the Cardinal’s secretary is the offended person’s cousin. When I exposed to the Feds the fact that the crooks had also hid some of the stolen funds in a bank account in the name of a person whose estate was long closed, things got really bad. The people who are supposed to enforce the law turned against me for the benefit of crooked bankers. It took me awhile to understand why the Feds were behaving so poorly. The reason was all the pension funds of government employees controlled by Putnam Investments and the fact that they owned half of the Brookline Savings Bank, another publicly held company.  
        Perhaps you dudes should read the fine print of the whistleblower form 211 that I filled out many years ago. Whereas bankers and priests employ many puppets in the form of politicians, lawyers, cops and priests to play their deadly game of World Control for them, it is the puppets I must deal with day to day. However I always knew who were sending the people to act against me. Bankers invented money and the miserable bastards known as Jesuits invented lawyers. Correct? The real nature of the wicked game is World Control or New World Order just as the carpetbaggers named Bush love to say. Before you dare to call me a liar, have the local liberal lawyer Dominic Leblanc and non elected Cabinet Minister Michael Fortier study the material I just sent to them. It is the same material Franky Boy McKenna, Deborah Alexander of the Scotia Bank and Petey Baby MacKay from Nova Scotia for example got back in 2004. As I said in the CTV blog it is just the tip of the iceberg. J
        What I have just delivered in hand to the bankers and Bill Casey is different material than the liberals have ever received from me. Find the email within this material that the General Counsel of Bell Canada, Martine Turcotte sent me in 2004 and you will see that Bell Canada spent three days printing my files off the web. They still did not have it all by a long shot. Ask the serial killer and his cohorts the Feds about that simple fact. As I said earlier in this letter now that the Stevey Boy Harper, a lapdog for the Bush regime has shown all Canadians that his nasty arse is flying too high, it is high time that someone gives it a boot ASAP. I will take license and employ some of Franky Boy McKenna’s choice of words.
        The only hope I see on the horizon in far off Parliament Hill to see that that our democracy is served can be found within the personal greed of members of the Bloc Quebecois. Yet that is the very party that wants to break up our country. Thus I think that what I see must be a mirage to give me false hope. All Canadians can see the Liberals are wandering around lost in the far from deserted halls of the House with no leader in sight. The Liberals crippled up old German Shepherd wants to talk to high school kids and the media in the Maritimes about the future of the liberal party but the kids and nobody else seems to care about Humpty Dumpty anymore. Everybody wants to talk to the Conservatives and they won’t talk to anybody unless Karl Rove and Derek Burney first bless the script. The annoying arsekissing terrier and boss of the NDP Jacky Jackass Layton is truly irrelevant. He has lost all credibility. Ask yourselves why the yapping little terrier is not willing to give the Conservatives the boot as he claims he did with the Liberals last year. Even Layton ‘s old buddy Bob Rae has quit the NDP and joined his old college roommate’s liberal crowd of wealthy thieves. Rae wants to lead liberals out of the desert for selfish reasons of his own. The first thing Rae, a pal of Landslide Annie bragged of on CTV the morning he announced he was running for leader was of his work within the Security Intelligence Review Committee. It seems he has chosen to forget my emails to him or the phone conversation we had late in the week before. I know Rae knows that Marion McGrath, the General Counsel of the SIRC has refused to do her god damned job just like Franky Boy’s old lieutenant Adleea Landry does. Because of that Bob Rae felt free pat to his own back about the work he did with the SIRC?
        Marion MacGrath and many others whose names can be found within the enclosed documents have forever proven to me the malice of all politically appointed public servants. The cop, Dean Buzza of the arm of the RCMP known as IMET really pissed me off in March. I defy anyone to try to talk to the crooked lawyer, Paul Kennedy about him. IMET was created within a week or so of Ashcroft meeting with Easter in November of 2003. Amongst a host of public servants that know all too well what I say is true and ignore the law for personal gain is Rick Hancox and his cohorts within the New Brunswick Securities Commission. They are just like the lawyers of the Public Service Integrity Office, sneaky Howard Wilson, Bernard Shapiro, Jean T. Fournier and Paul Kennedy of the Public Complaints Against the RCMP crowd. All these people are worse than useless as tits on a bull. They are crooks. They should be fired and prosecuted immediately. At the very least the malicious public servants are definitely not entitled to severance pay a la David Dingwall.
       There are many honest Canadians in the Maritimes looking for work. They could be hired to replace the corrupt politically appointed bureaucrats we have now. I am part of that public these bureaucrats etc are supposed to serve. I am also one of those over fifty folks that the CARP50 dudes hustle about where to invest our money. If the Cop Dean Buzza and his cohorts in IMET who had talked to CARP had done their job while I was running for a seat in Parliament and truly investigated the spike in Income Trust trading, many a banker etc would have had their panties in a knot for months. Instead the cops hush the CARP dudes up for the benefit of Rotten Ralphy Goodale and his banker buddies? Furthermore the far west Conservative M.K. Braaton deletes my words about Income Trusts from his blog after he allowed a Yankee Deputy Dog to attack my rep while running for a seat against his cohorts? Harper who claims Maritime roots and yet calls us defeatists has done a little service for all Canadians and unseated the wealthy corrupt liberals. More importantly he has proven in a timely fashion that he living is up to the Maritimer, Frank Boy’s description of him when he had a fine breakfast out west with the fancy former Minister of Finance two years ago. A true Maritimer who will never admit defeat has given many bankers who have a lot to lose fair warning that they should not side with Harper against me. J
         Prior to printing this letter I will await the results of the budget vote. Just in case someone in the Bloc suprises me with a display of ethics. Yesterday and today I called many members of various entities known as Conservatives, Liberals, NDP, Bloc, US Congress, RCMP, FBI, CSIS, SRIC, the Fredericton Police Dept and New Brunswick Police Commission etc for the last time and waited one more day for someone honest to call me back. Nobody did and nobody ever will. Here is my humble opinion for what it is worth to the deaf ears of Upper Canadian bankers. Ed Clark should fire his new Deputy Chair of the TD Financial Group and his lawyer Chris Montague ASAP for the benefit of TD Bank’s shareholders. Lawyers and politicians are far easier to replace than repairing a bank’s damaged reputation. The same goes for the CIBC, John Manley and E. Jennifer Warren and of course the RBC and David Allgood.
       Yea I know I am dreaming but at least you can never say that you did not know before I send the text of this letter in a email everywhere I can think of. That said guess who just played you all like fiddle? I not only made you litigants against me in my sad complaints but I may make this letter the introduction for a book that I have been writing for years. It is called "Pro Se Once Removed" as named in the first complaint that I ever filed. It is not a bad piece of work for a layman but I am far more proud of the second complaint I filed. I have not shown it to anyone other than litigants against me. It is a very rare Prima Facia complaint about legal malpractice that any lawyer should study. It has caused several Bills to be inspired in a very corrupt Yankee Statehouse. Thomson dudes should query it sometime. Two courts in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts must keep it in the public record forever. The matters began and ended in Dedham MA, hometown of Sumner Redstone and the stomping grounds of his old Harvard Law School pal, Charles J. Kickham Jr., my wife’s evil cousin. The matters were delayed and dismissed over a year after my opposition to Cardinal Law’s motion to dismiss was destroyed after the cases were removed illegally and doctored in federal court without any hearing whatsoever.
       Clark Kent Irvin, the former Inspector General of the Department of Homeland Security should know all about Truth Justice and the American Way. Ask him if US District Court docket # 02-CV-11686-RGS or Norfolk Superior Court docket # 02 01113 are worth checking out. I legally signed the complaint in my wife’s name as her attorney in fact after she had suffered a breakdown because of the wrongful actions against her by her kin and the justice system over mere matters of money. The Yankee Court accepted the sad complaint and filed in the last hour of work before July 4th, 2002. Within weeks I gave the US Secretary of State his copy byway of the Ambassador Argeo P. Cellucci to remind Yankees why their forefathers rebelled against the Crown (No taxation without proper representation). The rest is history.
        Now that I have chucked my wrench, I must deal with a far more important matter I have at hand. Whereas my family needs a roof over their heads, I looked around to see which Maritime crooks live handy to where I’m camped right now. I decided there are Three Stooges in each big party that I should sue soon. To the left I see the easiest of all, Whining Wayne Easter. Landslide Annie confirmed her pal’s malice towards me during the 37th Parliament. Franky Boy McKenna is the very political banker/lawyer who worked against me in the USA under the mandate of the 38th Parliament for the benefit of Yankee banks. Plus he really pissed me off when he had too much fun with my G.A.L. while my wife and kids were in the streets around Beantown. Franky Boy’s old pal Andy Scot is a close tie with the Newfy Bad Boy Billy Matthews as the dumbest and nastiest of all Maritime Parliamentarians. It is the failure of the NDP and the Conservatives that they sit in the 39th Parliament today. To the right, are Rob Moore, Greg Thompson and Bill Casey for reasons I already explained. These Maritime Stooges have properties to fill the bill of my Clan’s needs. I will sue them along with my G.A.L., Bixby’s law firm in Canada in order to seek some immediate relief from the wrongs. I love teasing hostile laymen with a temper. Thus Wayne Easter and Greg Thompson will be a lot of fun in court. Ask the goddamned biblepounders Cardinal Law or Pat Robertson’s song and dance man Johnny Never Been Good Ashcroft why I love to argue lawyers.
        Canadian lawyers should consider the following. Whereas the Crown stood with the USA and the Holy See against me it has caused the Queen to lose Sovereign Immunity in the USA on two counts. As soon as I crossed an international border with the former Governor General’s blessings in hand and into a Yankee jail, all MPs should have paid attention. Instead they ignored the fact I was held under the charges of "other" before Clarkson made her last Speech from the Throne to allow the 38th Parliament to begin. J
          This is no conspiacy theory as liberal talk show hosts like to suggest. You are looking at hard copy of the proof of what I say is true. clearly before I went into the Yankee jail, I had notified many Canadian authorities and my Yankee lawyer etc that my US Mail to the Canadian Consulate in Boston had been blocked and directed elsewhere and that my Canadian Mail to the General Counsel of the RCMP had disappeared. That is Mail Fraud practised by two governments of two countries on the same day in order to cover up a conspiracy against me. The Canadian Consulate finally did come to visit me in jail after a few days with prodding from my friends and relatives but my Yankee lawyer friend never did. The Canadian public servants were bearing hard copy of more false allegations that have since disappeared from the public record. I told the Consulate off and went back to my cell and said Bingo to myself. The nut of Sovereign Immunity in regards to the Crown, the Holy See and the USA was cracked not once but twice in October of 2004. You hold the proof in your hands. Call me crazy and put it in writing in fact, I Double Dog Dare Ya To.
         In closing I confess I have no false illusions. Any man with half a mind has understood for years why I must prosecute matters Pro Se. Ethical lawyers and politicians do not exist. They created the myth called Justice to suit their own selfish ends. I have no doubt whatsoever the weight of a corrupt justice system will try hard to smother my complaints. I expect all you to maintain standard operating procedure and ignore me as our government acts wrongfully on your behalf. I also know some common men like me will not. Some of us vote and invest money too. Some of us know our rights and interests are bought and sold on Yankee stock markets everyday for the benefit of crooks that ignore the public trust. Some of us are broke and can’t vote but are fierce political animals when the evils of longstanding governments are insufferable. It is not only our right but it is our duty to do so. I also know that many Canadians were raised to Hate War and are proud that much of the World recognizes us as Peacekeepers. Even the dumb as a post Stevey Boy Harper, a Canadian lapdog of the Yankee moron, George W. Bush and the Yankee Norfolk County Sheriff and his equally dumb Deputy Dog, Robert F. O’Meara must know at least that.

Profile

Francis Joseph "Frank" McKenna, (born January 19, 1948) is a Canadian businessman and former politician and diplomat. He is currently Deputy Chairman of the Toronto-Dominion Bank. He served as Canadian Ambassador to the United States from 2005 to 2006. The October 2005 issue of Saturday Night magazine had pollster Darrell Bricker and Liberal strategist Warren Kinsella create odds for potential Liberal leadership candidates. They made McKenna the favourite with 7 to 2 odds beating Scott Brison (8 to 1), Martin Cauchon (10 to 1), Michael Ignatieff and John Manley (each 15 to 1) among others.

On January 30, 2006, McKenna confirmed earlier reports that he was not running for the Liberal leadership to replace Paul Martin, who announced his resignation as party leader on the January 23, 2006 election night. McKenna acknowledged the strength of the Liberal brand stating: "You&rsquo;ve got pretty good odds of being the prime minister if you're leader of the Liberal party" - every leader of the Liberal party since Sir Wilfrid Laurier in 1896 had become prime minister. However, he put an end to his involvement in the 2006 Liberal Party leadership race, explaining his decision by saying that he did not want "his life to become consumed by politics." and that: "I reminded myself of my vow upon leaving office that, having escaped the trap, I wouldn&rsquo;t go back for the cheese."

Banking
Frank McKenna was appointed as Deputy Chair, TD Bank Financial Group effective May 1, 2006. McKenna is responsible for helping to build long-term business relationships that support TD&rsquo;s growth strategy in Canada and the United States.

McKenna is responsible for supporting the company in its customer acquisition strategy, particularly in the areas of wholesale and commercial banking. In addition, he is responsible for representing TD as it works to expand its North American presence as one of the continent's ten largest banks, as measured by market capitalization.

Plane de-icer recycling a multi-million dollar business

Nova Scotia's Inland Technologies vacuums up de-icer, sells recycled product back to airlines

Inland got its start in the business in the 1990s when the Canadian government brought in new rules to limit the chemical run-off. (www.inlandgroup.ca)

A Nova Scotia company is making big money in business worth tens of millions of dollars a year vacuuming, collecting and recycling the de-icing fluid sprayed on airplanes.

Inland Technologies employs 250 people during the winter to work at roughly 20 airports across North America.

The company extracts the glycol from the de-icing fluid it collects and recycles it for use as antifreeze for vehicles, and another kind of de-icing fluid it sells back to the airlines.

"It’s like a very, very large of a carpet cleaning machine. It blows air on one side and sucks it up on the other side. The movement of the air against the pavement vaporizes the fluid," said engineer Guy Boulanger who developed the Glyvac. 

The Glyvac uses 35 per cent less fuel than another sweeper on the market. 

Spraying airplane wings with de-icer is an important safety step before take-off in cold conditions. But the de-icing fluid contains a chemical, ethylene glycol.

Inland got its start in the business in the 1990s when the Canadian government brought in new regulations to limit the chemical run-off from glycol to 100 milligrams per litre of water.

Glycol is a pollutant that can deplete the oxygen content of water.

Inland — an oil waste recycler up until the 90s — switched its focus, developing a solution to collect de-icer run-off from the tarmac.

There’s no shortage of glycol for the growing company. Inland sops up huge volumes each year — roughly 100 million litres in Canada and the United States combined.

The company is eyeing new markets abroad.

"China is developing new regulations, and that type of thing," says Roger Langille, president and CEO of Inland. "So China, there’s growth opportunities in China, and probably Russia. So we’re exploring all those locations."

Occupy Wall Street: The Corporate Canadian Connection

Blog posts reflect the views of their authors.
Occupy Wall Street: The Corporate Canadian Connection

With Occupy Wall Street protesters looking like they will stand to live another day, focus has begun to shift on the company that recently tried to evict them: Brookfield Properties.

Brookfiled is actually a subsidiary (technically it is 50% owned) by Brookefield Asset Managment, a company that is headquartered in Brookfield Place in downtown Toronto.  The Media Co-op Investor Series has previously featured Brookfield.

Brookfield owns Zucotti Park, where Occupy Wall Street protesters had set up shop and have been camping for the past few months.  However this week, Brookfield threatened to evict the protesters.

According to the CBC New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg said the eviction was postponed after Brookfield received threatening calls from New York elected public officials, although no one has confirmed who they might be.

The New York City branch of the National Lawyers Guild also wrote a letter to Brookfield saying the eviction would violate the "constitutional rights" of the protesters. "There is no basis in the law for your request for police intervention, nor have you cited any," they wrote. "Such police action without a prior court order would be unconstitutional and unlawful."

The irony is that Brookfield could have the same problem in Canada.  In addition to owning Zucotti Park, site of New York Protests, Brookfield also owns the massive 242,000 square metres Brookfield Place, right in the heart of Bay street Toronto.  Though it has not been stated where the Occupy Toronto protests will take place, they could, hypothetically, target Brookfield property given its size.

Brookfield Asset Management' board is loaded with political bigwigs including:

-Frank McKenna, former Premier of New Brunswick, Canadian Ambassador to the US and touted Federal Liberal leadership 

-Jim Pattison, the 4th richest Canadian and onwner of the Jim Pattison Group, the third largest private company in Canada 

-Jack Mintz, an economist who has been frequently quoted in the press over the past few years as the go-to guy for Canadian economic and tax policy.  He is in favour of the HST and the constant lowering of corporate taxes

In a twist showing the embedded connections between rich companies like Brookfield and politicians, the subsidiary, Brookfield Properties, has it's own politically connected board member:

Diana Taylor, partner of Michael Bloomberg - Mayor of New York.

Same here in the U.S.

Embedded connection between companies and politicians in Canada? Sounds like Obama (who promised that he would not have corporate lobbyists in his administration), then did let them in after he took office. Obama and many Dems & Repubs fully supported Bush's banker bailout, known as TARP. The establishment at work. Obama has raked in more money from Wall Street than any politician in the past 20 years: http://news.yahoo.com/obama-attacks-banks-while-raking-wall-street-dough...

We're suing Brookfield Asset Management

We're suing Brookfield Asset Management for the very things that the Occupy movement is rallying against. We allege insider trading, non-disclosure, and a fraudulent conveyance. The alleged non-disclosure and insider trading involves one of their own directors - number two on your list above.

 
 
 
 

Brookfield Corporation is a Canadian multinational company that is one of the world's largest alternative investment management companies. It has over US$1 trillion of assets under management, much of which is workers’ deferred income from global public pension funds.[2][4] It focuses on direct control investments in real estate, renewable power, infrastructure, credit and private equity.[5] The company invests in distressed securities through Oaktree Capital, which it bought in 2019. Brookfield Corporation's headquarters are in Toronto, while its primary subsidiary, Brookfield Asset Management, relocated to New York City in 2024.[6][7]

The current Brookfield Corporation is the creation of the 1997 merger of Edper and Brascan.[8] At its inception, the company was known as EdperBrascan, then changed its name to Brascan in 2000, and Brookfield Asset Management in 2005. In December 2022, the company renamed itself Brookfield Corporation (traded as BN) and spun off its asset management business as Brookfield Asset Management (traded as BAM).[9]

In June 2024, Brookfield Asset Management ranked 24th in Private Equity International's PEI 300 ranking among the world's largest private equity firms.[10]

Predecessor companies

Edper Investments

In 1959, Edper Investments, founded by brothers Peter and Edward Bronfman, acquired Brazilian Traction, Light and Power Company for $15 million.

Brascan

The company was founded in 1899 as the São Paulo Tramway, Light and Power Company by William Mackenzie and Frederick Stark Pearson. It operated in the construction and management of electricity and transport infrastructure in Brazil.

In 1904, the Rio de Janeiro Tramway, Light and Power Company was founded by Mackenzie's group.[11]

In 1912, Brazilian Traction, Light and Power Company was incorporated in Toronto as a public company to develop hydro-electric power operations and other utility services in Brazil, becoming a holding company for São Paulo Tramway Co. and Rio de Janeiro Tramway Co.[12] In 1916, Great Lakes Power Company was incorporated to provide hydro-electric power in Sault Ste. Marie and the Algoma District in Ontario.[13]

In 1966, Brazilian Traction, Light and Power Company changed its name to Brazilian Light and Power Company, and again in 1969, changed its name to Brascan Limited.[12] Brascan is a portmanteau of “Brasil” and “Canada”.[14]

During the 1970s, the company began to sell its Brazilian interests, and invested more heavily in industries such as real estate, timber and mining.[15]

In 1979, the last of the company's Brazilian assets were transferred to Brazilian ownership (Eletropaulo and Light S.A.), the company meanwhile having diversified to other areas.[12] The company provided electricity and tram services in São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. After restructuring, the company's Brazilian portfolio operated as Light S.A., short for Brazilian Traction, Light and Power Co. Ltd.[16]

In 1992, Brookfield and Johnson Controls was established through a merger in Canada of Brookfield and Johnson Controls—a building systems and facility management company that was founded in the late 19th century by Warren S. Johnson, whose invention of the first electric room thermostat helped launch the building control industry.[17][18] By 2012, Brookfield and Johnson Controls became an established industry leader with 11,500 locations across Canada.[18] In 2007, Brookfield Asset Management acquired the Multiplex, an Australian international construction contracting company[19] founded in 1962 by John Roberts.[20] which was valued at that time at approximately A$7.3 billion.[21] It was renamed Brookfield Multiplex in 2016.[22] In 2012 Brookfield Asset Management and Johnson Controls Global WorkPlace Solutions (GWS) merged to create Brookfield Johnson Controls.[18]

History of Brookfield

In April 1997, the Edper Group Ltd. announced its intention to merge with its subsidiary Brascan Ltd. At the time, Edper owned 47 per cent of Brascan shares. If approved, the merger would create a new $8 billion company.[23] Robert Harding, president of Edper, stated that the intention of the merger was "furthering the simplification initiative that we started in 1993."[24] On 10 July 1997, special meetings of both companies were held, and both groups of shareholders voted in favour of the merger.[25] On 1 August 1997, the new EdperBrascan Corporation came into being as an Ontario corporation (number 1249197).

In 2002, Bruce Flatt was appointed CEO of Brascan.[26]

In June 2005 Noranda, which was 41-percent-owned by Brascan, merged with Falconbridge Nickel Mines,[27] and in August 2005 Brascan decided to sell its mineral holdings, to Xstrata.[28]

In September 2005, after 37 years, Brascan Corp. was renamed to Brookfield Asset Management Inc.[29] Between 2013 and 2018, the company and its subsidiaries invested approximately $10 billion in Brazilian energy, infrastructure and real estate developments, including acquisitions of oil pipelines from energy companies such as Petroleo Brasileiro SA.[30]

In 2015, Brookfield Asset Management became the ultimate parent company of what is now Brookfield Global Integrated Solutions (BGIS), when it acquired control of Brookfield Johnson Controls from its joint venture partner, Milwaukee-based Johnson Controls.[31] At that time, an activist investor had been putting pressure on Johnson Controls to divest of its real estate division.[31] The facilities management business was renamed Brookfield Global Integrated Solutions (BGIS) as part of Brookfield's plan to establish a “leading global facilities management provider”.[31] BGIS expanded rapidly following Brookfield's taking control of BGIS in 2015,[32] In 2016, when BGIS acquired the US-based data centre facility management service—McKinstry FMS—which had over “350 engineers, technicians, planners and program managers”, BGIS became one of the largest facility management companies serving data centres in North America.[31] By 2017, when Gord Hicks was named as Toronto-based BGIS’ CEO, the company had 7,000 staff members and 100 clients in the United States, the United Kingdom, Asia, and Canada,[32] which included contracts with the Canadian federal government. By 2022, according to a Carleton University School of Public Policy and Administration analysis of federal government contracts for real estate management, the Government of Canada spent over $1 billion on contracts with BGIS in 2021–2022, representing the largest vendor contracts at that time.[33] In 2019, Brookfield Asset Management sold its BGIS shares to CCMP Capital Advisors—an American private equity investment firm—for over CAD$1.3 billion[31] with Hicks remaining as CEO.[34] and was awarded the 2020 Private Equity Deal of the Year for the BGIS sale.[31]

By 2018, Brookfield's major public subsidiaries included Brookfield Infrastructure Partners, Brookfield Renewable Partners, Brookfield Property Partners, and Brookfield Business Partners.[35] In August 2018, Brookfield purchased Westinghouse Electric Company, a manufacturer of large nuclear reactors, out of bankruptcy for $4.6 billion.[36]

On March 13, 2019, Brookfield Asset Management announced that it had agreed to buy most of Oaktree Capital Management for about $4.7 billion, creating one of the world's largest alternative money managers.[37] On July 31, 2019, the sale of Vodafone New Zealand Limited to a consortium comprising Infratil Limited and Brookfield Asset Management Inc. was settled.[38]

In a deal in October 2019, Brookfield bought The Leela Palaces, Hotels and Resorts, an Indian luxury hotel chain located in New Delhi, Bengaluru, Chennai, Udaipur, in a US$530 million settlement, marking the entry of Brookfield in India's hospitality market.[39][40][41]

In 2020, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Brookfield's CEO Bruce Flatt assessed that the economic fallout was “much more manageable” than previous meltdowns.[42]

In October 2020, Mark Carney, departing Governor of the Bank of England, became a vice-chair of Brookfield, leading the firm's environmental, social and governance (ESG) and impact fund investment strategy.[43][44]

In November 2020, there were reports that Brookfield might partner with Rogers Communications to introduce condominiums to the site of the Rogers Centre baseball stadium, reducing the amount of space available for sport, but the partnership never transpired.[45]

On April 25, 2022, it was announced the Brookfield and Simon Property Group were set to offer to buy Kohl's.[46]

In November 2022, the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board (CPPIB) bought Brookfield's portfolio of Indian road assets for $1.2 billion.[47]

In August 2022, Intel signed a $30 billion partnership with Brookfield to fund its recent factory expansions. As part of the deal, Intel would have a controlling stake by funding 51 percent of the cost of building new chip-making facilities in Chandler, Arizona, with Brookfield owning the remaining 49 percent stake, allowing the companies to split the revenue from those facilities.[48][49]

On December 9, 2022, the company's name was changed from Brookfield Asset Management Inc. to Brookfield Corporation. Brookfield Corporation then spun-off 25% interest in their asset management business into the new publicly listed Brookfield Asset Management Ltd.[50][51]

In April 2023, it was reported by Bloomberg that Brookfield Corporation had defaulted on $161.4 million worth of office building mortgages, mostly in the Washington D.C. area, due to high office vacancy and interest rates.[52] Two months before, Brookfield defaulted on $784 million in mortgages for two Los Angeles office towers. It was suggested the defaults were a strategy to renegotiate commercial mortgages.[53]

In November 2024, Brookfield committed an additional £900 million to support Canary Wharf Group months after its credit rating was cut to “junk” status.[54] The value of CWG's office portfolio plunged by £1.5 billion to £4.27 billion after the COVID-19 pandemic caused a loss of tenants.[55][56] Brookfield and Qatar Investment Authority had minority stakes in CWG until 2015 when the partners acquired 100% for an additional £2.6 billion.[57][58]

Brookfield stated it was shifting towards residential properties and disposed of more than $10 billion of commercial properties from 2020 to 2022. In December 2024, Brookfield bought US student-housing communities for $893 million, eyeing communities that had growing student enrollment and limited supply. Brookfield also purchased, or was negotiating a $5 billion deal to obtain North American residential assets.[59]

In January 2025, according to the Globe and Mail, it was announced that Brookfield had bought out its partners, CPPIB and Alberta Investment Management Corporation (AIMCo), in the Maritime Life Building in Toronto, which had been on the market for over two years without receiving a suitable offer.[60]

In July 2025, Brookfield Wealth Solutions agreed to acquire Just Group, a UK-based financial services company, for $3.18 billion.[61] The deal was part of Brookfield's planned expansion into the UK pension risk market.

Controversies

Bribery

In 2013, a Brazilian prosecutor filed charges against the company's local division, alleging the company paid bribes to local officials, which is also a violation of U.S. federal criminal law. The bribes were allegedly used to pave the way for Brookfield to build a shopping center in São Paulo. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission also opened a formal investigation into the company about the bribery charges. The company denied the charges. The U.S. Department of Justice also opened a criminal investigation into the company regarding these allegations, and did not end up making any arrests.[62][63] According to the Stanford Law School Foreign Corrupt Practices Act Clearinghouse, which studied the case, the investigation and filing of charges was initiated by a whistleblower and anonymous tip. Later it was revealed that the whistleblower was the former CFO of a Brookfield subsidiary. She claims she was fired for refusing to participate in Brookfield's bribery scheme.[64] The company disclosed the investigations on several 6-K forms between 2013 and 2015.[65]

Circular cash flows

A March 2024 article in the Financial Times criticized Brookfield for its complex structure and its circular flows of cash after buying and selling multiple properties to itself at high, pre-pandemic valuations. The conglomerate executed dozens of internal transactions, including a $1.4 billion sale of real estate stakes to its insurance arm, supporting its "distributable earnings" metric tied to its $90 billion market capitalization. Brookfield Property Partners, a subsidiary, reported $2 billion in losses for the first nine months of 2024, yet contributed significantly to these earnings. Critics argued these deals masked losses in its commercial real estate portfolio and lacked transparency. Brookfield replied that they were not deceiving anyone nor hiding anything and that the newspaper mischaracterized its business.[66]

Civil lawsuits and public reactions

In September 2010, a group called Birch Mountain Shareholders for Justice filed a lawsuit with the Ontario Superior Court of Justice against Brookfield Asset Management, challenging an acquisition and transfer of assets.[67] Birch Mountain had run into financial troubles and accused Brookfield of financial engineering that resulted in Brookfield acquiring the company's $1.6 billion limestone quarry for $50 million. According to Birch Mountain, Brookfield had made use of death spiral financing and insider trading. After five years of litigation the case was dismissed, based on the fact that Birch Mountain had failed to present credible evidence.[68] In May 2015, the plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal, but their case was likewise dismissed two years later.[69]

In 2009, Brookfield sued financial and insurance giant American International Group (AIG) in a Manhattan federal court, alleging that AIG's collapse caused default provisions in interest-rate swaps. The suit stemmed from AIG's acceptance of a $182.3 billion bailout package from the federal government, which Brookfield argued overturned AIG's bankruptcy protection. The insurance firm countersued, claiming that Brookfield was trying to get out of its $1.5 billion debt to AIG. The litigation ended with Brookfield paying $905 million to settle the lawsuit.[70]

In March 2013, the Southern Investigative Reporting Foundation called into question Brookfield's makeup. The analysis written by Roddy Boyd accused the company of using a pyramidal control structure, alleging that a small group of shareholders hold outsized power and may easily use the capital of other investors without risking their own.[71][72]

In August 2018, Brookfield signed a 99-year lease on the financially troubled 666 Fifth Avenue skyscraper in New York City, of Donald Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner. The deal raised suspicions that the Qatar Investment Authority, a major investor in Brookfield, was attempting to influence the first Trump administration.[73][74]

Finances

For the fiscal year 2018, Brookfield Asset Management reported earnings of US$3.584 billion, with an annual revenue of $56.771 billion, an increase of 39.2% over the previous fiscal cycle. Brookfield Asset Management's shares traded at over $38 per share, and its market capitalization was valued at over $40.8 billion in November 2018.[75]
