King Charles focuses on 'pilgrimage,' peace in Christmas message
In his Christmas address for 2025, King Charles III paid tribute to the
sacrifice of fallen soldiers and spoke about the nativity story's themes
of companionship, kindness and inner strength, and how those values
resonate today.
“Journeying is a constant theme of the Christmas Story. The Holy Family made a journey to Bethlehem and arrived homeless without proper shelter. The Wise Men made a pilgrimage from the East to worship at the cradle of Christ; and the Shepherds journeyed from field to town in search of Jesus, the Saviour of the World. In each case, they journeyed with others; and relied on the companionship and kindness of others.”
In this year’s Christmas Broadcast or ‘King’s Speech’, His Majesty reflects on the theme of the journey, in religious life and more broadly.
Why is it that I am not surprised to see that my comment was deleted? However I am pleasantly surprised that this one still exists about your ridiculous Throne Speech being adopted in the House of Commons without a vote
Why try to recycle old news???
Alain Rayes became an Independent in September 2022, leaving the Conservative Party after Pierre Poilievre became leader, citing misalignment with his values on issues like law & order, environment, and fiscal management. He served the remainder of his term as an Independent until his departure from federal politics in 2025, having announced in 2023 he wouldn't seek re-election
In April 1982, Queen Elizabeth II proclaimed the Constitution Act, 1982, terminating British legislative jurisdiction over Canada’s Constitution. The Constitution Act, 1982 provides that Canada’s Constitution may be amended pursuant to an amending formula contained therein and contains the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, including the linguistic rights of Canada’s two major language groups.
The government of Québec did not sign the constitutional agreement which led to the repatriation of the Canadian Constitution and the proclamation of the Constitution Act, 1982. Although Québec is legally bound by the Constitution Act, 1982, the government of Québec set out five conditions for accepting the legal legitimacy of the Act. Discussions on those principles led on April 30, 1987 at Meech Lake to a unanimous agreement by First Ministers on principles respecting each of Québec’s conditions.
A constitutional resolution to give effect to the Meech Lake Accord was adopted by Parliament and eight provinces before the deadline for ratification on June 23, 1990. In the absence of ratification by Newfoundland and Manitoba, the amendment was not adopted. In the wake of this event, the most extensive series of public consultations on constitutional matters ever to occur in Canada began through the work of both provincial and federal commissions and committees, among other things. Recommendations produced by this process were then assessed by a series of multilateral negotiations involving the federal, provincial and territorial governments and four national Aboriginal organizations, held from April to July 1992. Agreement was reached on a wide range of constitutional issues through the multilateral process which led to a First Ministers’ Conference held in Charlottetown in August 1992.
The Charlottetown Accord was an extensive package of reforms agreed upon by the federal, provincial and territorial governments and the four Aboriginal organizations. On October 26, 1992, Canadians were asked in a referendum if they agreed that the Constitution of Canada should be renewed on the basis of the Charlottetown agreement. A majority of Canadians in a majority of the provinces, including a majority in Québec and a majority of Status Indians living on reserves, declined to provide such a mandate. Consequently, governments set aside the constitutional issue and announced their intention to concentrate on social and economic initiatives that do not require constitutional change.
Carney, Simon and Charles have openly grifted, pilfered and treated our money like their own personal WEF piggybanks. They don't give a FLYING FIG about the seniors that don't have enough money to even buy a gift for their spouse or to travel home to see their family. This is the second year we have gone without Christmas and sat crying. We only have OAS /CPP and have to pay for insulin/BP/ thyroid/cholesterol pills. The next time there is an election people need to open their eyes to this hell hole of a country we once adored. I don't recognize it anymore.

Clearly David Aufhauser's name is directly across from Ted Kennedy's

Notice that I have inserted the first portion of this email as a

latest emails at the bottom of this email. (I do this in this fashion
so that no one can ever claim that I am being sneaky or underhanded.
That is what crooked lawyers do not me. The next time I call UBS in
Canada (which will be very soon indeed) please do not allow the snobby
people in Upper Canada to laugh at me anymore or rest assured I will
sue your bank in a heartbeart to seek relief from your assistance to
the wrongs practiced against my family and I. If you doubt me or my
sincerity ask your former Generl Counsel or the US Treasury Dept or
the Attorney General of Masschusetts why I truly beieve and can prove
that they have no integrity whatsoever.
However if you bankers were truly wise in these troubling times I
believe you will realize that we can be of great assistance to each
other and the people who trust in your integrity. Perhaps you should
read my comments in this law blog as well.
Although UBS is far from innocent and it has definitely failed its
fiduciary responsibilities towards ist investors etc not all of the
wrongs were of your bank's doing. The wicked plans were dreamed up by
evil lawyers such as David Aufhauser and assisted to by governments
and the taxpayers are begining to understand that simple fact..

From the Pages of The Pomerantz Monitor: UBS Pressured to Settle
Auction Rate Securities Claims
The September issue of The Pomerantz Monitor relays events that led
UBS to enter into a global settlement with federal and state
regulators over auction rate securities. UBS, the Swiss banking
colossus with $1.9 trillion under management and over 80,000 employees
worldwide, has been forced to write off close to $43 billion in the
value of its debt portfolio. Its stock is down more than 50% this
year. Its chairman, CEO and other senior executives have been forced
out. And it is at the center of the auction rate securities debacle
and a tax fraud investigation. On August 12, UBS announced that in the
second quarter, its private-banking clients had withdrawn funds for
the first time in eight years; and that it is cutting 5,500 jobs. UBS'
wealth management advisors are reportedly defecting in droves.
About 50,000 UBS customers are now stuck with $37 billion worth of
auction rate securities. In order to settle a suit brought by the
Massachusetts Attorney General, claiming that UBS misled investors
about the safety and liquidity of those securities, UBS recently
agreed to pay $4.4 million and announced it would buy back up to $3.5
billion of auction rate preferred stock sold by closed-end tax-exempt
funds and held in UBS accounts as of that date.
The New York Attorney General ("NYAG") filed a similar suit on July
24; on the same day, the Texas State Securities Board moved to suspend
UBS' securities license in the state until UBS repurchases, at par,
all auction rate securities it sold to Texas investors. In addition,
the SEC was conducting an investigation into the auction rate
securities crisis.
Finally, on August 8, UBS, under overwhelming pressure, entered into a
global settlement with federal and state regulators in which it agreed
to buy back nearly $19 billion of auction rate securities held by
retail investors.
The New York action had the potential to be particularly embarrassing
for UBS. The suit alleges that seven UBS executives unloaded a total
of $21 million in auction rate securities in the months leading up to
the market's collapse, while the bank was telling customers that these
securities were safe. Among the seven was David Aufhauser, general
counsel for UBS' investment banking arm. The NYAG's complaint
references an email sent to Aufhauser, among others, anticipating the
UBS pull-out from the auction market for these securities. Later that
same day Aufhauser instructed his financial advisor to dump all his
auction rate securities holdings. Aufhauser has now resigned.
UBS is also in the dock for supposedly helping thousands of wealthy
investors from around the world hide their assets and income from tax
collectors. On July 17, 2008, a Senate subcommittee released a
110-page report on "Tax Haven Banks and U.S. Tax Compliance" that
focused on UBS and LGT Group, the largest bank in Liechtenstein, a
country which has been blacklisted by the Organization for Economic
Cooperation and Development for past money laundering activities. The
report concludes that, in order to recruit U.S. clients, UBS
established an elaborate formal training program on such subjects as
how to avoid surveillance by U.S. customs and law enforcement, and how
to secretly move money in and out of the country.
Apparently the IRS caught on to UBS when it audited a billionaire from
California and discovered some of the hidden assets. The billionaire
pleaded guilty to tax evasion and informed against his former UBS
private banker, Bradley Birkenfeld. When the IRS knocked on
Birkenfeld's door, he described to them the whole UBS tax evasion
program.
On July 17, the same day that the subcommittee held hearings and
released its report, UBS tried to head off the inevitable retribution
by announcing that it would stop offering offshore banking services to
U.S. clients and would cooperate with U.S. efforts to identify its
19,000 U.S. clients that it had previously failed to identify to the
Treasury.
UBS' chagrin was no doubt exacerbated by its being lumped together
with LGT. The taped testimony of the subcommittee's chief witness
against LGT, Heinrich Kleiber, was recorded in with his face in
shadows and his voice disguised.
LGT reportedly got caught when Kieber, a lowly information technology
employee and convicted felon, stole client account records in 2002 and
sold them to the authorities. The German and British governments
allegedly paid him a total of $7million for account records relating
to their citizens. Several individuals are already being prosecuted
for tax evasion, and more way be waiting for the other shoe to drop.
When the LGT scandal broke, Kieber received death threats from all
over the world, and there is reportedly a $10 million price on his
head. This, no doubt, reflects the type of clients LGT went out of its
way to recruit. Interpol is reportedly hunting for him too. Kieber is
now in hiding, with a new identity. "He's hunted, he's wanted — this
is not what I would call living the good life," said Jack A. Blum, Mr.
Kieber's lawyer. He may get to enjoy his $7 million, but we're
guessing that it won't be any time soon.
Mr. Amos, I confirm that I have received your documentation. There is
no need to send us a hard copy. As you have said yourself, the
documentation is very voluminous and after 3 days, we are still in the
process of printing it. I have asked one of my lawyers to review it in
my absence and report back to me upon my return in the office. We will
then provide you with a reply.

Jumping Jimmy Flaherty's jump boots versus Crosbie's old mukluks in a liberal Senate
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

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.
B.C. Premier David Eby blasts ‘secret’ talks on proposed North Coast pipeline
On Trudeau The Younger's birthday perhaps I should remind Carney and Eby and all their bankster buddies such as Franky Boy McKenna of old communications and lawsuits involving me going back to 1982 when Trudeau The Elder introduced us to the Charter
These are just clips sourced from old email thread that is posted at the bottom of this blog
Alright,
you curiouser and curiouser Herle Burly-ites. We’ll get right into it,
because we have a Cabinet Minister on the Christmas pod today. And not
just any Cabinet Minister ... The Honourable François-Philippe
Champagne, Canada’s Minister of Finance and National Revenue!
Today
marks his 2nd appearance on The Herle Burly and you all know he
delivered Budget 2025 in the House, just 7 weeks ago, so that’s what
we’re going to talk about for the next 45 minutes, and, in the broadest
sense: the state of the economy.
Methinks LIEbranos have no class to promote such a sneaky little Quebec lawyer and help him gloat about his wrongs on a day that is so important for religious people N'esy Pas?
When I watched this I saw red and decided to send Champagne a few more emails and blog about it as well. FYI The subject line of email containing this podcast will be as follows:
''YO Herle Burly-ites What do the holy books say about lying?"
What a wonderful interview. I appreciate the Minister's thorough explanation and openness. He brings confidence for sure, but it doesn't feel like they are just talking points. He is authentic and down to earth. I especially appreciated his distinction between the macro view and the real pain communities and individuals are feeling during these tough times. It means he and the government are seeing what is around them and are weighing all the considerations. I have great confidence in him and the PM to steer the Canada ship well through these tenuous times. Thank you David of bringing this to us.

Where are the results for us? Talk, talk consensus, consensus, stakeholder governance, silly bad ideas. Stop, please?
François-Philippe Champagne is a lawyer who was elected to the House of Commons in the 2015 and has been Minister of Finance and National Revenue since 2025. ,Hence methinks he thinks he knows everything Nesy Pas?
Economist Jeffrey Sachs Reveals: How Canada Outmaneuvered US Defense Giants for the "Deal of the Century"
In this video, world-renowned economist Jeffrey Sachs breaks down the massive geopolitical shockwave that has US Defense Giants reeling. While the world was watching Washington, Canada quietly secured a strategic victory that experts are calling the "Deal of the Century."
What does this mean for the US Military-Industrial Complex? Is Canada decoupling from American dominance to forge its own path? We dive deep into the economics, the strategy, and the stunning reaction from major US defense contractors.
📺 IN THIS VIDEO:
The Deal Explained: Inside the procurement strategy that allowed Canada to bypass traditional US leverage.
Jeffrey Sachs’ Analysis: Why this move signals a decline in US soft power and a rise in Canadian sovereignty.
US Defense Reaction: Why Lockheed, Boeing, and Raytheon insiders are reportedly "stunned" by Ottawa’s pivot.
Geopolitical Impact: How this shifts the balance of power in North America and what it means for the future of the NATO alliance.
💡 WHY THIS MATTERS: For decades, the US has dictated the terms of North American defense spending. This latest move suggests a turning point where economic strategy beats sheer military spending. Jeffrey Sachs argues this could be the first domino in a larger global shift away from US-centric defense reliance.

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

Global’s Dawna Friesen sat down with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney for an end of year interview to discuss a plethora of topics concerning Canadians ranging from affordability, U.S. trade, to climate change.
When asked what about being prime minister has surprised him the most, Carney briefly touched on his previous experience working with Stephen Harper as a civil servant. “I had a sense that the job is 24/7, 365 days a year. It’s one thing to have that sense, it’s another thing to live it.”
While discussing trade negotiations with the U.S., Carney stood firm in his belief that Canada should not rush itself into an unfavourable deal. “Every week that goes by, the more that we are developing our economic strategy at home, the more were developing those relationships abroad, the stronger we get.”
Friesen highlighted the cost-of-living crisis affecting many Canadians and pressed Carney on what his message to those who are struggling. Carney emphasized the scale of the issue is enormous and that it fundamentally comes down to facilitating economic growth.
“We are doing a series of things,” Carney said, referring to cutting taxes while preserving critical public services, “and we’ll continue to look for others that help bridge over that period of time, but at the core is we have to grow this economy.”
Oh waaah, the media is so unfair to me! Pierre Poilievre is the leader of the opposition, he said what he had to say, which was about three talking points over and over again. If he wanted to say something else, he had PLENTY of opportunities to say them.
Her questions to Pierre were legit. Most of them I wanted to ask myself. His answers were robotic as best, disingenuous at worst. Example, to the question on: Have you reflected on what went wrong in 2025, the real honest answer that could've won people to his side would've been an admission, with a laugh, that this was a terrible year, but that they've learned from it. Humble, honest, truthful.
His answer? It is a big blow for the aspirations of the record number of voters who have voted for me.
Her questions were similar with both leaders, the answers confirms the voting results.
@justseepa her constant interruptions, trying to lead him on answers, and the creative "editing" (cutting off his answers) were most certainly not legit.
I guess people see things differently. If you thought the questions were equal you're entitled to your opinion. What Pierre should have asked when she kept hammering on him about his 41.5% win and still lost he should have asked her " what questions did you ask Justin Trudeau in 2015 when he went with 39.5%, and 188 seats?" If he would have been rude he would have pointed out the second term Justin got 36.5% and in his last term he got 32.5%. The line of questioning is ridiculous. You people on the left like to say he blew a 25 point lead. Look at the stats for the last 3 years the conservatives haven't wavered much Off the Mark 35 to 40.
@trevpeters3594 I appreciate a thoughtful and reasonable rebuttal. Much respect for this. So I will address you as directly but as respectfully as I can.
Your assumptions are unfortunately faulty.
I never voted for the Liberals before the last elections, and I was keen on conservative policies for the next few years.
Stats aside, why did that happened for me in your opinion? As it did for most independent voters? Be honest, the answer does not require a rocket science degree.
@UnderratedDemocracy Merry Christmas my friend, I'm sure your opinion is way more valuable than mine, so thanks for taking the time to read my views, I hope you understand its value in the future.
Pierre Poilievre sits down for another interview that quickly turns into a familiar pattern — loaded questions, selective framing, and a clear lack of accountability for those actually in power.
This breakdown looks at how so-called “neutral” interviews become political weapons, and why Canadians are increasingly skeptical of MSM coverage of Conservative leaders.
Today, April 9th, 2014, I rose to ask a question during Question Period to highlight the disgraceful mockery that the Minister of State and Democratic Reform.

"It's
a special night. I mean, look … a year ago," Liberal MP and caucus
chair James Maloney said on stage on Thursday night. Beside him, Liberal
MP Mona Fortier jokingly cringed."
"If
another floor crossing to the Liberals happens, it will likely be done
in total secret, much like with Ma. The secret was so tightly held that
minutes before Christmas party co-hosts Fortier and Maloney took the
stage, they were scrambling to rewrite their speech in light of the
floor-crossing they never knew was coming. Toronto Sun columnist Brian
Lilley reported Friday that even Ma’s staff didn’t know until the last
minute that he was crossing the floor. “In caucus Wednesday… there was
zero, zero, zero hint,” one Liberal MP told National Post. “Everything
is done very, very underground.”
“What’s
everyone’s favourite number?,” Liberal MP James Maloney asked thousands
of Liberals attending the party’s Christmas party Thursday evening"

Today we're bringing you behind the scenes of Front Burner: answering audience questions, and talking about the making of some of our most popular episodes of 2025.
Power & Politics host David Cochrane and the Reporter Roundtable panel reflect on events of 2025, from the federal election to U.S. President Donald Trump's trade war.
New data from the Angus Reid Institute suggests the idea of Pierre Poilievre as prime minister is an increasingly tough sell to a majority of Canadians. The Power Panel discusses what these numbers mean for Poilievre as he heads into his leadership review next month
After the beating our predictions took in 2025, we’ve lifted ourselves up, dusted ourselves off and are once again ready to try to predict the political year to come.
Yes, it’s time for our annual Over/Under Contest, the fifth year in a row that we go head-to-head to see who has the better crystal ball for 2026. What score will Pierre Poilievre get in his leadership review? When will Mark Carney’s polling numbers begin to drop — if at all? Will there be any more floor-crossers? And, of course, will there be an election in the year to come?
We’re splitting up the 2026 Over/Under Contest into two parts. Today, we’re reviewing how we did in 2025 (badly) before we set our sights on the year ahead of us in federal politics. Next week, we’ll place our lines and make our predictions for the provincial political scene.

Dec. 23, 2025 - Host David Cochrane and Power Panelists Laura D’Angelo, Tim Powers, Jordan Leichnitz and Charelle Evelyn count down the top five political newsmakers of 2025.
In this candid conversation, Jay welcomes Canada’s Leader of the Opposition, Leader of the Conservative Party of Canada and longtime MP The Honourable Pierre Poilievre and his wife, Ana Poilievre, to discuss the personal realities of political leadership, partnership and resilience under constant scrutiny.
From the values that anchor their family to the pressures of modern politics, Pierre and Ana share reflections on purpose, trust and navigating disagreement in an increasingly polarized world. This episode moves beyond headlines to explore the character, relationships and convictions that shape leadership at the highest levels.

In this in-depth interview, Dimitri Lascaris joins From Canada Citizens Forum to discuss a growing democratic crisis inside Canada’s political parties — specifically the federal NDP leadership race.
We examine the controversial removal of Eve Angler from the leadership contest, the opaque vetting process, and the growing gap between party elites and grassroots members. Drawing from Lascaris’ own experience in the Green Party leadership race, this conversation explores:
• Why leadership candidates are excluded
• How party vetting committees operate behind closed doors
• Whether Canadian political parties are truly democratic
• The role of media silence in shaping political outcomes
• Eco-socialism, wealth inequality, NATO, and foreign policy
This discussion raises urgent questions about who really holds power in Canada, and whether ordinary party members still have a voice.
Prime
Minister Mark Carney says there are areas such as artificial
intelligence where he is not pursuing a 'deep relationship' with China. (Marc Robichaud/CBC)
Prime Minister Mark
Carney has begun to lay out publicly what he sees as boundaries when
dealing with China, as his government wades into a new relationship with
the economic giant.
Carney, who earlier this year called China one of Canada's biggest security threats,
has more recently spoken openly about resetting the relationship with
Beijing as the Liberal government seeks more trading partners in the
wake of U.S. President Donald Trump's trade war.
In a year-end
interview with CBC News, he was asked by chief political
correspondent Rosemary Barton if he sees risks in Canada aligning
economically with China.
"The question is how deep is the relationship and how clear are the guardrails around that relationship," he said.
"There
are areas, artificial intelligence, critical minerals, defence, where
clearly the security threats are such that we would not have a deep
relationship with China in those areas."
Carney said outside of
the European Union and the United Kingdom, he doesn't see Canada having
"deep relationships with many countries in those areas" — even Canada's
once closest ally.

Prime
Minister Mark Carney tells CBC News chief political correspondent
Rosemary Barton that AI, critical minerals and defence are all areas
where Canada would not have a 'deep relationship' with China.
"We
have a strategic question for our country: how deep those relationships
are in those areas with the United States, given our deep integration
already with the United States and given the shifting trading
relationship," he said in the interview.
Carney's proposed guardrails will be closely watched as he casts a wider net for trading partners — a key pillar of his agenda.
"Never have all your eggs in one basket. We have too many eggs in the American basket," he said.
"We
would like to maintain that relationship and grow others, but we
absolutely need to grow others. And the 's' is a capital 's' at the end
of others."
The
prime minister said that list includes China and India, two countries
the Liberal government had a fractured relationship with under Justin
Trudeau.
Trudeau had pursued more trade with China early in his
leadership, but talks soured in 2018 after the arrest of Huawei's chief
financial officer Meng Wanzhou in Vancouver on a U.S. extradition
warrant in a corruption case.
Canadians Michael Kovrig, a
diplomat, and Michael Spavor, an entrepreneur who worked in North Korea
and China, were detained in China days later on spying and other
charges. Beijing denied the detentions were linked to the Huawei case.
The
public inquiry investigating allegations of election meddling that
wrapped this January called China "the most persistent and sophisticated
foreign interference threat to Canada."

Prime
Minister Mark Carney has committed to tackling ‘irritants’ with Chinese
President XI Jinping as the two countries had their first formal
leader-to-leader contact since 2017. Carney was also invited by Xi for a
state visit.
Carney has embraced what he called a "turning point" in the relationship, accepting an invitation from President Xi Jinping to visit after the two leaders met during the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit in South Korea this fall.
Carney needs to raise sensitive issues: diplomat
Carney has suggested his brand of government will change Ottawa's policy toward Chinese investment in Canada. Over the past decade, the government has taken a hawkish approach to companies with connections to Beijing, citing national security concerns.
There's also mounting pressure to convince China
to drop its tariffs on canola products, which were applied after Ottawa
hit Chinese electric vehicles with 100 per cent tariffs.
Guy
Saint-Jacques, who served as Canada's ambassador to China from 2012 to
2016, said the government can work with China — while pushing back on
sensitive issues, including China's human rights record.
"In a way, we have no choice. We have to engage with China," he said, noting Carney is on a "mission" to diversify trade.
"It's
a superpower on the political side. We have to ask them to put pressure
on Russia to stop the war in Ukraine. We have tell them to be careful
with what they do with Taiwan. And, of course, we know also that China
is using social media to undermine our democracy, and so the prime
minister has to be very clear that such behavior won't be tolerated."
Domestically,
Saint-Jacques also said the government has to convince Canadians it has
learned the lessons from the foreign interference inquiry. It still
hasn't set up the foreign agent registry, for example.
"We know that China can be brutal, that it bullies Canadians of Chinese origin," he said.
"I
think there are a number of things where we can work with China, but at
the same time we have to be very clear that there will be red lines,
that if China crosses these red lines there will be penalties."

Who better to represent Canada than Mark Wiseman former senior
managing director and global head of active equities at BlackRock Inc.
in New York.
NEW YORK, May 20, 2024 (Reuters) – BlackRock (BLK.N) was
sued for $20 million by a whistleblowing former vice president who said
it fired him after he objected to a colleague’s self-dealing, and was
forced to shut down a search engine for monitoring client discussions
about illegal investments, including in China.
In a complaint on Saturday, Hamdan Azhar said the world’s largest
asset manager ordered him in March 2022 to stop work on Trend Spotter,
which he had developed, and transfer his projects to Rightpoint, where
the husband of former boss Tiffany Perkins-Munn worked.
…The New York-based company ended March with $10.5 trillion of assets under management.
…Last summer, the bipartisan House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party began seeking information on whether BlackRock and index provider MSCI (MSCI.N) facilitated investments into blacklisted Chinese companies.
In April, the committee found that Wall Street, through index fund investments, channeled $6.5 billion in 2023 into 63 Chinese companies flagged by the U.S. government for supporting China’s military or human rights abuses.
The committee called the activity “not illegal,” and urged Congress to pass laws restricting such investments. BlackRock and MSCI have said they complied with U.S. laws.
Azhar said he joined BlackRock in February 2020 as head of data science for global marketing.
His lawsuit in New York state court in Manhattan seeks $10
million each in compensatory damages and punitive damages for violating
state labor law...
Prominent Canadian businessman and lawyer Mark Wiseman will leave
BlackRock amid a violation of the company’s policy on relationships in
the workplace, Bloomberg News reported.
Wiseman’s departure effectively ends his career as a possible CEO contender at the global investment firm, which he joined in 2016 after serving as CEO of CPP Investment Board.
CPP Investments (formerly Canada Pension Plan Investment Board)
isn’t a traditional “bank” but a massive, independent, Crown corporation
that professionally manages the funds of the Canada Pension Plan (CPP)
to ensure long-term retirement security for over 22 million Canadians,
investing globally in public stocks, real estate, infrastructure, and
private equity to grow the fund beyond government reach.
Beyond government reach?
What They Do:
“Investment Management: They act as a global asset manager,
investing the CPP Fund across diverse asset classes like public
equities, private equity, real estate, infrastructure, and fixed income.“Long-Term
Focus: Their primary goal is to maximize long-term returns for the CPP
fund without undue risk, operating at arm’s length from the government.”“Fund
Sustainability: They ensure the CPP remains sustainable for future
generations by growing the contributions made by working Canadians and
their employers.”
In 2016, as a member of then finance minister Bill Morneau‘s
Advisory Council on Economic Growth, both Wiseman and Dominic Barton
advocated for increasing immigration targets to 450,000 a year, with a
focus on top business talent and international students, in order to
“raise the living standards for all Canadians.” Wiseman and the council
argued that without significant immigration changes Canada would fall
outside the top 45 nations in population by 2100 and would become
“increasingly irrelevant over time.” In 2016, Canada was ranked 38th by
population, lower than countries such as Thailand, Mexico, and Uganda.
From 2016 to 2019, Wiseman was a Senior Managing Director at BlackRock,
Global Head of Active Equities, Chairman of its alternatives business,
and Chairman of BlackRock’s Global Investment Committee. He was also on
BlackRock’s Global Executive Committee. On December 5, 2019, Wiseman was
fired from his position at BlackRock following a failure to report a
consensual relationship with a subordinate employee under his reporting
line. in violation of the company’s relationship at work policy.
Wiseman stated in an internal memo “I engaged in a consensual
relationship with one of our colleagues without reporting it. I regret
my mistake and I accept responsibility for my actions.“
And now?
1/ Mr Carney’s best friend is Canada’s Ambassador to the US and chief trade negotiator. Hardly American at all!
2/ Given their wildly enthusiastic corporate promise that AI will all
but eliminate millions of “useless” human employment, where will those
new 60 million immigrants find work?
3/ It might matter. No?

comments about Quebec.

minister who has held senior roles at some of the country's largest
pension funds, takes over for the departing Kirsten Hillman on Feb. 15,
2026.
Wiseman is headed to Washington at a pivotal time. In the
months since U.S. President Donald Trump launched his trade war on
Canada, the relationship has been badly frayed — and there could be more
tension on the horizon when the two sides hash out a resolution in the
new year.
"Mark
Wiseman brings immense experience, contacts, and deep commitment at
this crucial time of transformation of our relationship with the United
States. As a core member of our negotiating team, he will help advance
the interests of Canadian workers, businesses, and institutions, while
building opportunities for both Canada and the United States," Carney
said in a statement.
Wiseman will be tasked with helping lead the
Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA) review talks, which are expected to
get underway in January.
As part of those discussions, Wiseman
will try to help broker some relief from the punishing tariffs Trump has
imposed on goods coming from some key Canadian sectors, like steel,
aluminum, autos and lumber.
Trump's
trade representative, Jamieson Greer, has already laid out what he
expects to see from Canada to successfully negotiate an extension of
that pact, including changes to supply management as well as laws that
protect Canadian culture, which U.S. tech giants have strenuously
opposed. He also wants to see a dismantling of provincial bans on U.S. liquor brands.
Greer told Congress that
CUSMA has been "successful to a certain degree" but that amendments are
needed before Trump agrees to extend it for another 16 years or revert
to yearly reviews, something Canada is eager to avoid given the
resulting annual uncertainty.
Wiseman, born in the border town of Niagara Falls, Ont., is no stranger to these irritants.
Among
Carney's first decisions after being sworn in earlier this year was
naming Wiseman to the Prime Minister’s Council on Canada-U.S. Relations,
a body first created by former prime minister Justin Trudeau just as
Trump was about to be sworn in as president for the second time.
Experience in 'all different sectors'
In
an interview with CBC News, David Paterson, Ontario's representative to
the U.S., welcomed Wiseman's appointment, saying his business acumen
will be useful in the months to come as the CUSMA renewal talks
intensify.
"I think we're in a six-month sprint right now to July 1
to try and solve as many of those issues, largely sectoral issues, as
we can by that date so that we can see this deal move forward," Paterson
said, referring to Greer's list of conditions that must be met before
renewing CUSMA.
"Wiseman's understanding of investment as a
financial person, he's got experience looking into all different
sectors. I think that'll be a help," he said.
The
incoming ambassador's close relationship with the prime minister is
also a plus, Paterson said, as it means Wiseman can speak with some
authority.
"It's so encouraging and important that the prime
minister has developed a good rapport with the president — that's
particularly important here. So having somebody that is in close,
regular conversation with the prime minister in this role is going to be
absolutely essential."
While Ontario has its own concerns about
the state of the trade negotiations — the province wants Ottawa to be
more focused on averting U.S. efforts to torpedo the auto sector —
Paterson said he's confident the Carney-Wiseman duo are well-placed to
land a deal when the time comes.
"We'll be there 100 per cent behind the new ambassador to make sure that he's successful," he said.
Concerns in Quebec
While Wiseman may have Ontario's support, at least one province has raised red flags about the appointment.
Wiseman's
past public musings on supply management make him a controversial pick
in some circles, notably in Quebec where there is a contingent of
politically active dairy farmers determined to keep that regime in
place.
Wiseman previously said supply management, which protects
the domestic dairy industry from some imports and guarantees farmers a
minimum price for their products, benefits a "group of settled players,"
impedes innovation and keeps "prices artificially high for Canadian
consumers."
Those comments have prompted concern that Wiseman will
be a half-hearted defender of supply management when Trump and his team
put it on the table for negotiation.

Carney, Ford respond to questions about U.S. demands ahead of CUSMA review
December 18|

Prime
Minister Mark Carney, appearing alongside Premier Doug Ford Thursday at
an event outlining steps to align approaches around major projects,
took questions on their response to recent demands put forth by the U.S.
trade representative around access to Canada's dairy market and how
provinces are handling the sale of U.S. alcohol.
Speaking
to reporters earlier this month amid reports Wiseman could get the U.S.
job, Pascal Paradis, a Parti Québécois member of Quebec's National
Assembly, said his nomination would be "unacceptable" for Quebec.
"The
Parti Québécois will never accept the nomination of Mark Wiseman as
Canada's ambassador to the U.S. Why? Because Mark Wiseman is not a
friend of the Quebec nation," Paradis said at a news conference in
Quebec City.
Carney has been adamant that supply management is safe on his watch.
"We've
been clear about our approach to supply management. We continue to
stand by that. We will continue to protect supply management," the prime
minister said at a news conference last week after Greer's conditions
for the CUSMA review were released.
Wiseman also serves as
chairman of the Century Initiative, a non-profit that calls for more
immigration to boost Canada's economy. Two years ago, he posted an
article with an eyebrow-raising headline on social media — "100 million
Canadians by 2100 may not be federal policy, but it should be – even if
it makes Quebec howl," is how that Globe and Mail column read and what he reposted on X.
That
prompted Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre to say Wiseman is
"someone who has shown contempt for Quebec and who cannot negotiate on
behalf of Quebec."
But
Wiseman's job will have very little, if anything, to do with
immigration levels. His attention will be focused on securing a
successful CUSMA review with unpredictable Trump.
Former Alberta premier Jason Kenney, a Conservative, said that's what Wiseman is well-suited to do.
The
two worked together when Wiseman was the head of Alberta Investment
Management Corporation (AIMCo), a Crown corporation that invests tens of
billions of dollars worth of funds generated from the province's oil
resources and public pension plans.
"Mark is one of Canada’s top
private sector finance experts who is an effective dealmaker. He’s the
kind of guy who could get down to brass tacks and defend our interests
effectively in dealing with the Trump administration," Kenney said,
prior to Wiseman's appointment being confirmed.
Richard Shimooka, a
senior fellow at the Macdonald-Laurier Institute, said the trust Carney
and Wiseman have developed over years of friendship will be useful
during what is expected to be tense negotiations during the Trump
administration.
While
Hillman was widely respected, she was a Trudeau appointee, and Wiseman
said Carney is entitled to his own hand-picked ambassador.
Plus, the wealthy Wiseman is a good fit for the administration he's poised to deal with, Shimooka said.
Looking
at Trump's cabinet, "there's a large number of people in there who are
in the economic upper crust," he said. "Wiseman has the ability to go to
these people and speak their language."
Either way, Wiseman's
negotiation skills — and patience — will be put to the test with the
sometimes erratic Trump, Shimooka said.
"This is not going to be easy. You can have an agreement on policy one day and the next day, it's gone."

Dear Prime Minister.
I
find it difficult to understand why your choice might be Mark Wiseman,
as point man in trade talks with the USA.. He was at the CPP IB in late
1990s, about when the CPP IB first entered the investment world of
derivatives . It is also about the same time the CPP IB decided it would
be smart to borrow money to make new investments with.
According
to the independent CPP IB auditor, on March 30, 2025 the CPP IB had a
financial liability of $220,040 millions ( only $20 million in 2002)
and a financing annual cost of $7,213 millions , when in the previous
century there was nothing much..
Leaving a
financial mess of this order behind , that the Finance Minister has yet
to suggest a solution that takes away these liabilities from the CPP
Plan, hardly qualifies him for any senior role in the financial affairs
of Canada.
I am asking myself if you even read
my letter of July 23, 2025 where I tried to politely demonstrate the
ridiculous and border-line criminal investment condition of the CPP
Plan. Given all the evidence from the 1980s, it was blindingly clear
that making derivative investments did not meet the stated objective of
no "undue risk of loss". Doing so made me suspicious of use the "quiet"
of financial incentives.
Get people who have
demonstrated objectivity and sound ethical/moral judgement to front our
trade talks , not someone with deficits in these attributes.

Minister Mark Carney says Canada 'needs to get going' on meeting its
emission reduction targets, adding his predecessor's climate plan won't
meet those goals. (Marc Robichaud/CBC)
Prime Minister Mark
Carney says Canada has too much regulation and not enough investments in
clean energy and technology — and he's making his most direct
repudiation yet of his predecessor's environmental policies.
"Because
I care about the issue fundamentally, I care about what gets done,"
Carney said in a year-end interview with CBC News airing Sunday morning.
"Not what is put in regulation, not what is said, not what is
prohibited — and then nothing happens.
"We have too much
regulation, not enough action," the prime minister told CBC News chief
political correspondent Rosemary Barton.
In
addition to its commitment on a pipeline, Ottawa also agreed to suspend
the proposed federal oil and gas emissions cap, as well as Alberta's
requirements under federal clean electricity regulations (CER). Both
were key policies in former prime minister Justin Trudeau's climate
plan.

'We have too much regulation and not enough action,' says PM on climate policies
December 21|
Duration 3:34
In
a wide-ranging interview, CBC News chief political correspondent
Rosemary Barton sat down with the prime minister and asked him about the
status of Canada's climate policy amid his plans for a potential
pipeline.
"The fact is we're not going to meet our
targets under a climate plan that had all the things in it that you
said," Carney told Barton, referring to the emissions cap and the CER.
"We need to get going."
According to new data released from Environment and Climate Change Canada,
the country will fall well short of its 2030 climate goal — just
halfway to its target of a 40 to 45 per cent reduction in greenhouse gas
emissions below 2005 levels.
Carney
instead touted carbon capture and storage — a key condition of the
Alberta agreement — as well as nuclear power generation. Alberta has
promised to develop a nuclear generation strategy with the federal government by Jan. 1, 2027.
The
two sides also agreed to increase the industrial carbon price in the
province, moving it from its current level of $95 a tonne to a minimum
of $130 a tonne. The federal government had previously demanded that
price rise to $170 a tonne by 2030.
The memorandum of
understanding (MOU) "creates the possibility of many things: investment
in nuclear, investment in interties, investment in data centres,
investment in carbon capture and, yes, a potential pipeline," Carney
said.
Agreement changed for Guilbeault, PM says
Shortly after the MOU with Alberta was signed, Steven Guilbeault — who once served as environment minister under Trudeau — resigned from Carney's cabinet and said he strongly opposed the agreement.
Carney
told Barton that some changes were made to the agreement in response to
Guilbeault's demands, though he ultimately respects Guilbeault's
decision to resign.
"He
knew the details. I don't follow everything he says, but he knew what
was in the MOU," Carney said. "And elements of the MOU were changed
consistent with his views."

Chief
political correspondent Rosemary Barton speaks with Quebec Liberal MP
Steven Guilbeault, who resigned from Prime Minister Mark Carney's
cabinet last week, about his party’s deal with Alberta for a potential
pipeline to the northwest coast of B.C. and why he thinks the federal
government is stoking Quebec separatism by walking back its climate
commitments.
Carney
did not elaborate on what those changes were, but he said Alberta
accepted the amendments. When pressed for more details on what
Guilbeault was unhappy with, Carney said those are questions for the
former minister.
"We have a different approach," he said.
CBC News reached out to Guilbeault, who did not wish to make a public comment.
The
changes were evidently not enough to address the concerns Guilbeault
raised with the prime minister, given his later resignation.
Guilbeault
referred to the emissions cap and the CER in his resignation
announcement and said that "several elements of the climate action plan I
worked on as minister of the environment have been, or are about to be,
dismantled."
"In my view, these measures remain essential to our climate action plan," he said.
Does Carney want a pipeline?
The
prime minister said a pipeline that is accompanied by carbon capture
technology and supported by First Nations, British Columbia and Alberta
is "absolutely in our interest."
Before the House of Commons rose on Dec. 11 for the six-week holiday break, the Conservatives tried to use a motion to force the Liberals to clearly state whether or not they support an oil pipeline.
The
motion lifted language from the Alberta agreement but omitted certain
sections, such as the electricity interties to neighbouring provinces,
nuclear energy development and the multibillion-dollar carbon capture
project.

Liberal
Alberta MP Corey Hogan said Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is
'not acting as a serious leader' as the Opposition party tabled a motion
on Tuesday calling for MPs to support pipelines built from Alberta to
B.C. Hogan said the motion is 'designed to be a trap' for Liberals.
The motion was also silent on some
environmental issues that Alberta Premier Danielle Smith agreed to
address, like the industrial carbon tax and methane reduction
regulations. It was defeated 196 to 139, with the Bloc Québécois, NDP
and Green Party voting with the Liberals.
At
the time, Carney said the MOU is more than the sum of its parts and
that a pipeline, which he supports, would go ahead only if other
conditions in that deal are met.
"You have to eat the entire meal, not just the appetizer," the prime minister said.
According to Alberta officials, the intention is to get shovels in the ground on the pipeline by 2029.

Is the media actually providing Canadians with facts and context? Our panel with Tara Henley, Brian Lilley, and Peter Menzies looks at the aversion to “controversial” content.
People who track hate groups say they are becoming more visible in our region and more organized.
A CBC investigation first delved into these so-called ‘active clubs’ that are operating across Ontario. And recently, one of them held a rally in a Niagara park which has pushed the issue into the spotlight even further.
Over the Labour Day weekend, sixty masked men marched on the General Brock Monument at Queenston Heights in Niagara-on-the-Lake wearing matching shirts, carrying flags, and chanting in unison.
They’re known as Second Sons Canada, and they claim to be a “nationalist club.”
According to their website, they’re focused on political activism and fitness training. But experts warn the group’s ideology and presentation go far beyond that of a social club.
“Second Sons Canada is the more militant arm of a white nationalist network called Diagolon. It was a couple of podcasters and live streamers who would look at the news of the day, be extremely angry about it and offer up a racist and anti-Semitic take,” said Evan Balgord from the Canadian Anti-Hate Network.
RCMP documents describe Diagolon as a “militia-like network with supporters who subscribe to accelerationist ideologies — and the idea that a civil war or collapse of western governments is inevitable and ought to be sped up.”
CBC’s chief political correspondent Rosemary Barton delivers a weekly dose of need-to-know political news and issues affecting Canadians, tackling the latest headlines through the lens of people living them.
Speaking with Global News anchor Dawna Friesen, Pierre Poilievre of the Conservative Party of Canada says he's "very" confident heading into January's leadership review and explains what would happen if he loses more caucus members to the Liberal Party.
Poilievre said he has reflected on his leadership and approach after April’s disappointing election loss. One of his conclusions was that he needs to make clear he’s not “fighting for the sake of fighting.” “It’s fighting for the people,”
Poilievre said.
Poilievre also said that he would push through a West Coast pipeline project — long a policy goal of his party — against any opposition, including First Nations communities impacted by the pipeline route.

Prime Minister Mark
Carney has announced a large shuffle of deputy ministers and senior
public servants in a shake-up at the top of the public service that has
long been expected around Ottawa.
In all, 12 individuals are
receiving new assignments and eight departments will have new deputy
ministers. Eight former deputy ministers are also departing the federal
government.
Nick Leswick, the executive director for policy at the
Bank of Canada, is now the deputy minister of finance and John
McArthur, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution in Washington,
D.C., is joining the Privy Council Office as deputy secretary to the
cabinet for economic policy.
Marie-Josée
Hogue, a puisne judge of the Court of Appeal of Quebec who led the
federal inquiry into foreign interference last year, is becoming deputy
minister of justice and the deputy attorney general.

Chris Fox, who had been deputy clerk of the privy council, is becoming deputy minister of defence.
Carney chose a new clerk of the Privy Council
— Michael Sabia — this past summer and this shuffle is another major
opportunity for the prime minister to put his own stamp on the machinery
of government.
The
clerk of the Privy Council is the most senior member of the public
service and deputy ministers are the senior public servants in
government departments.
In addition to the moves announced on
Friday, the Prime Minister's Office said "additional changes to the
senior ranks of the public service will be announced early in the New

Prime Minister Mark Carney met virtually with Canada’s premiers Thursday as his government navigates a complex mix of energy policy disputes, U.S. trade pressure and growing regional tensions.
In
this interview, Pierre Poilievre faces pointed questioning from Vassy
Kapelos — but instead of holding Mark Carney to account, the focus
shifts to blaming Poilievre for caucus members leaving.
Is that fair journalism, or a deflection from tougher questions that should be asked of those in power?

Prime Minister Mark
Carney suggested there is still "a spectrum of MPs" enticed by his brand
of governing, as the Liberals teeter on the edge of a majority after
last week's surprise floor-crossing.
On
Thursday, Markham-Unionville MP Michael Ma joined the government as its
171st MP, blindsiding the Conservatives and bringing the Liberals
within one seat of a majority government.
He followed Nova Scotia MP Chris d'Entremont, who joined the government benches last month.
Carney did not answer when asked if there's an active recruitment campaign to poach MPs from other parties.
"I
think that there is a spectrum of MPs with varying degrees of
recognition of the serious situation the country is in, varying degrees
of recognition that we need action, not slogans," he said.
"Those individuals face their own decisions about how they can best support that agenda."

He added if MPs from other parties feel they can support the direction of his government, "they're very much welcome."
The Liberal leader wouldn't answer whether he'd accept MPs who hold anti-abortion or anti-trans views into his caucus.
"We're in multiple hypotheticals," Carney said when pressed. "It's a non-answer to a question."

After
another Conservative MP crossed the floor, Pierre Poilievre pointed the
finger at Prime Minister Mark Carney and the Liberals of trying to
manipulate their way to a majority government.
"My
message to Mark Carney is that you want a costly majority government to
drive up taxes and deficits, then you have to go to the Canadian people
and have them vote for it, not do it by dirty backroom deals," the Conservative leader told CBC News on Sunday.
Asked
if he's comfortable securing a majority through floor-crossings, Carney
said he's "comfortable commanding the confidence of the House of
Commons."
"We're in a Parliament, and when we pass legislation,
we need more people voting for it than against it," the prime minister
said.

When
asked whether the Liberals are actively recruiting opposition MPs,
Prime Minister Mark Carney told CBC's chief political correspondent
Rosemary Barton that he thinks 'there is a spectrum of MPs with varying
degrees of recognition of the serious situation the country is in.'
Floor-crossing
is often met with outrage and public polling over the years suggests
Canadians are mixed on the phenomenon. But there is nothing in the rules
preventing MPs from switching party affiliation.
The federal ethics commissioner recently ruled that d'Entremont did not violate the conflict of interest code for MPs when he joined Carney's Liberals.
Chatter
about a potential, even if hypothetical, majority government comes at
the end of Carney's first year in politics. He joined the fray in
January after Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced he would step
down, securing the the Liberal leadership and then winning the general
election — which was largely focused on U.S. President Donald Trump's
trade war.
But Carney's government has struggled at times to
advance its agenda through Parliament and was brought to the brink of a
holiday election when a vote on the budget narrowly passed in November.
Ultimately four opposition MPs, two Conservatives and two New Democrats,
abstained during the confidence vote. Green Party Leader Elizabeth May
also voted in favour of the budget.
The House of Commons wrapped up the fall sitting last week after passing a handful of bills, but with some key pieces of legislation still working their way through.

The federal
government is stoking Quebec separatism by walking back its climate
commitments — including in its recent deal with Alberta — Liberal MP and
former cabinet minister Steven Guilbeault says.
"There is a
feeling right now that by abandoning our climate goals we are fuelling
the separatist movement," Guilbeault said in an interview airing Sunday
on CBC's Rosemary Barton Live.
Guilbeault
stepped down last week as minister of official languages, Canadian
identity and culture — as well as Prime Minister Mark Carney's Quebec
lieutenant — after Ottawa signed an agreement with Alberta that jointly agrees on a path forward for a new bitumen pipeline to the B.C. coast.
As
part of the agreement, Ottawa will suspend the proposed federal oil and
gas emissions cap and remove Alberta's requirements under the Clean
Electricity Regulations — both of which were introduced when Guilbeault
was environment minister under former prime minister Justin Trudeau.

Chief
political correspondent Rosemary Barton speaks to Liberal MP Steven
Guilbeault about what drove him to leave Prime Minister Mark Carney's
cabinet.
Carney touted the agreement with Alberta as "an example of co-operative federalism."
Guilbeault
argued that the federal government has tried to appease Alberta in the
past, namely by purchasing and completing the Trans Mountain Expansion
pipeline — but he argued that failed to quell western alienation or
support for Alberta's separation.
"Using a solution that failed
before, we're trying to appease separatist movements in one part of the
country by fuelling them in another part of the country," Guilbeault
told host Rosemary Barton.
The Montreal MP also suggested that the Quebec separatist movement is far more organized than the Alberta movement.
"There
is clearly a sentiment by some Albertans that they don't see themselves
in the federation. But we also have to be careful, because we have a
very strong separatist movement in Quebec," Guilbeault said.
"It's not just a movement. It's a political party. It's won elections," Guilbeault said.

The
Parti Québécois has been leading in the provincial polls as Quebec is
set for an election next year — and Leader Paul St-Pierre Plamondon is
promising to hold a referendum on Quebec sovereignty if he wins.
Meanwhile,
the federal Bloc Québécois is positioning itself as the only major
party that is advocating for environmental policies in the wake of the
Liberal government's agreement with Alberta.
Quebec was one of the
first provinces to put a price on carbon when it introduced a
cap-and-trade system in 2013. That system is still in place even though
other jurisdictions have removed their own.
Carney
has walked back other Trudeau-era environment policies, most notably
suspending the consumer carbon tax on his first day as prime minister.

Minister Mark Carney, right, and Alberta Premier Danielle Smith signed
the energy agreement last month. (Jeff McIntosh/The Canadian Press)
The
agreement with Alberta includes a commitment from the provincial
government to enact a higher industrial carbon levy on emissions.
On
Thursday, the Alberta government announced changes to its industrial
pricing system, which environmental advocates fear will actually lower
the price on carbon.
Guilbeault argued that Thursday's move shows Premier Danielle Smith isn't serious about raising the industrial price.
"I
sincerely doubt that Premier Smith has any intention of making good on
those commitments and yesterday's example is one [that] screams volumes
about her real intentions," he said.
But Alberta's Environment
Minister Rebecca Schulz defended the changes to the industrial pricing
system, saying that they were announced months prior to the province's
agreement with the federal government.
"These targeted updates
make the … system stronger and more effective. We’re encouraging
businesses to put dollars into cutting-edge technology and make site
upgrades now, not later. This will lead to more emissions being reduced
and a stronger system," Schulz said in an emailed statement.

Yesterday,
Candice sent the below email to our internal team. I thought you would
appreciate seeing it as well, as it does such a good job of laying out
just how impressive everything we accomplished this year really was!
None of what we accomplished would have been possible without you, our supporters.
If you have already donated to our year-end campaign, THANK YOU.
DATE: December 28, 2025 FROM: Candice Malcolm SUBJECT: Thank you all for your hard work!
Team,
As we close the books on our first year at Juno News, I wanted to write to all of the staff at Juno News directly.
I’d like to take a moment and reflect on who we are, what we’ve built together, and share some confidential numbers with you.
What this team accomplished in 2025 is extraordinary.
In
less than a year, Juno News reached over 100,000,000 views across all
platforms. (Yes, one hundred million). Those views represent tens of
millions of Canadians and international readers who are actively
choosing independent reporting over legacy media spin.
As
of a few days ago, we crossed 10,000 paying subscribers. This milestone
shows the trust our readers have placed in us, and confirms our
position as the largest independent newsroom in the nation. Running a
newsroom this large is a massive responsibility, you all know this. It
isn’t always easy, but this year, you showed the country that our small
team can punch up, and punch hard.
Our readership is
made up of people from every corner of this country, and even around
the world, who believe there must be a place to go for honest reporting
about what is actually happening in Canada.
We don’t sensationalize, we don’t sell out, we let our investigations, news, analysis, and opinion speak for itself.
On
YouTube, X, Rumble, and every platform except Meta (Facebook and
Instagram, which remains blocked by Liberal regulations) our growth has
followed the same explosive trajectory, with viewership and subscribers
accelerating at a pace that confirms what we felt from the very
beginning. Common-sense Canadians were waiting for this.
We
could tell Juno was needed almost immediately after launch. The
groundswell was not slow or cautious. It was instant. The stories you
dug up, drafted, edited, and posted were eagerly read by our readers.
Traffic rolled in so fast some days I am shocked the servers didn’t
melt. Tips poured into our inboxes. Canadians recognized themselves in
our reporting because we were willing to say what others would not.
As
we discussed a few months ago in our weekly company-wide meetings: the
face of our federal government has changed, but Justin Trudeau leaving
office and Mark Carney being crowned Prime Minister does not alter our
mission in any meaningful way.
Sure,
Trudeau was easy to laugh at. It was sometimes the only way us and our
readers could cope with the sheer insanity of his political agenda.
Our
job remains the same: to expose corruption, waste, and ideological
capture wherever it exists, regardless of who holds power.
Whether
we are uncovering immigration abuse at Tim Hortons, exposing moral
decay inside elementary school staff rooms, or documenting fraud and
misconduct at the highest levels of government, the standard does not
move. The mission does not soften. And the pressure does not intimidate
us.
If anything, it sharpens our focus.
This year also made something else clear. Replacing legacy media is no longer a slogan. It is happening in real time.
Juno
News exists because the public lost faith in institutions that stopped
asking hard questions. Our growth is not an accident. It is the direct
result of doing journalism without deference, without subsidies, and
without permission.
That independence comes with risk.
Our
journalists, particularly Keean Bexte, are currently facing frivolous
criminal investigations related to our electoral reporting. These are
not good-faith inquiries. They are pressure tactics, and everyone in our
office understands that.
The
same investigations came from our sharp reporting on the Alberta
by-elections. Luckily, that government did not pursue a vindictive
campaign, and we were able to get the investigation swiftly dismissed.
Let
me be clear: reporting on elections in Canada is not a crime. My
co-founder Keean and I are willing to stake our lives on that principle.
It is, or at least once was at one point, the core ethos of any
journalist worth their salt.
We
will not be intimidated. We will not retreat. And we will not allow
harassment by the state to alter our coverage or our convictions. We
expect the same from everyone working at Juno News, and frankly, you
have all delivered.
The fact that this pressure exists is proof of our impact. You do not get targeted for irrelevance.
As we look toward 2026, our goals are ambitious but grounded.
We
intend to expand our reporting capacity, deepen our investigative work,
and continue building a national newsroom that can compete head-to-head
with institutions like the CBC, without becoming what they are.
We
have some truly fantastic new content coming out in the new year. Keean
will be hosting a brand new show that is really going to knock our
socks off. We will be releasing feature length documentaries that
challenge the core of woke-Liberal ideology. And we will be expanding
our in-house Juno News investigative lineup.
2025
was just the beginning, and next year, I will not sugar coat it, it
will be a challenge. Long hours, tough days, leads that end up at a dead
end, but every obstacle will sharpen our instincts and strengthen our
resolve. We’ll learn faster, dig deeper, and come out stronger—ready to
break bigger stories and make an even greater impact together.
That
means holding ourselves to an even higher standard. It means precision.
It means fairness. It means getting it right, even when it would be
easier not to publish at all.
Every
person reading this email played a role in building something real this
year. Juno is not a brand. It is not a logo. It is the collective
output of journalists, producers, editors, and staff who refused to
accept that what the legacy media had on offer was as good as Canadian
media could get.
Thank you for the long hours, the pressure, the stress, and the belief that this was worth doing anyway.
Candice discusses criticism surrounding her pre-election reporting on Sasha Carney’s transition from female to male as a teenager, something legacy media attempted to discredit as illegitimate and intrusive, despite it being a matter of public record.

Prime Minister Carney announces new support for a just and lasting peace in Ukraine
Main Content
Halifax, Nova Scotia
Today, Prime
Minister Carney welcomed President Zelenskyy to Halifax, marking the
President’s second visit to Canada this year. Ukraine is at the
frontline of the struggle between democracy and authoritarianism. Their
meeting comes at a crucial point in this horrific war – a time when the
combined efforts and might of the United States, Ukraine, European
allies, and Canada are creating the conditions for a just and lasting
peace.
Since Russia’s unprovoked, unjustified, full-scale
invasion, Canada has provided nearly $22 billion in multifaceted
assistance for Ukraine, including over $12 billion in direct financial
support – making Canada among the largest contributors to Ukraine’s
recovery and reconstruction. As the Ukrainian people endure another
winter of Russian aggression, Canada remains steadfast in its support
for Ukraine.
Building on Canada’s strong support for Ukraine, the
Prime Minister today announced new measures to support a just and
lasting peace. Canada is announcing an additional $2.5 billion
commitment for Ukraine, including:
Financing that will enable
the International Monetary Fund to lend Ukraine an additional $8.4
billion as part of an extended financing program;
Canada’s participation in extended and expanded debt service suspension for Ukraine, for up to $1.5 billion in 2025-26;
A
loan guarantee of up to $1.3 billion in 2026 to the World
Bank’s International Bank for Reconstruction and Development to support
Ukraine’s reconstruction; and
A loan guarantee of up to
$322 million in 2026 to the European Bank for Reconstruction and
Development to support Ukraine’s gas imports and reinforce its energy
security.
In Halifax, Prime Minister Carney and President
Zelenskyy held a bilateral meeting to discuss the latest developments in
ongoing peace talks. The Prime Minister affirmed Canada’s full support
for Ukraine.
The Prime Minister and the President also
participated in a call with European leaders to advance joint efforts
for Ukraine’s security and recovery. Through the Coalition of the
Willing and other partnerships, Canada is working to secure a just and
lasting peace that reunites children with their families, fortifies
Ukraine’s forces, builds prosperity for the Ukrainian people, and deters
Russia from ever again threatening the peace and security of Ukraine or
Europe.
Quote
“When I stood with President
Zelenskyy in Kyiv on Ukraine’s Independence Day this year, I made clear
that Canada will stand with Ukraine throughout this horrific war and
when peace finally comes. To those ends, Canada has committed new
support to Ukraine, not only to help end this war, but also to help the
Ukrainian people recover and rebuild. Canada stands with Ukraine,
because their cause – freedom, democracy, sovereignty – is our cause.”
The Rt. Hon. Mark Carney, Prime Minister of Canada
Also this month, Canada announced an additional $50 million donation to the Drone Capability Coalition (DCC) at the 32nd Ukraine
Defense Contact Group (UDCG) meeting. This built on previous
contributions of $37 million to explore ways to expand contributions
toward Canada’s support for Ukraine’s Unmanned Systems Forces.

Russia pummels Kyiv with strikes, launching 40 missiles and more than 500 drones over the course of 10 hours. This comes ahead of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s separate talks with Prime Minister Mark Carney and U.S. President Donald Trump aimed at ending the war.
Prime
Minister Mark Carney and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy met on
Saturday in Halifax to discuss economic aid amid the Russia-Ukraine
war. This comes ahead of Zelenskyy’s plans to meet with U.S. President
Donald Trump to discuss a peace deal.
Ukrainian President
Volodymyr Zelenskyy met with Prime Minister Mark Carney in Halifax on
Saturday during a stopover before heading to the U.S. to meet with
President Donald Trump for talks aimed at ending the Russia-Ukraine war.
"Under
President Zelenskyy's leadership, we have the conditions, the
possibility of a just and lasting peace," Carney told reporters before
he and Zelenskyy left for their bilateral meeting.
The prime minister also announced an additional $2.5 billion of economic aid for Ukraine.
According
to a news release from the Prime Minister's Office, about $1.6 billion
of the newly announced aid comes in the form of loan guarantees to the
World Bank's International Bank for Reconstruction and Development and
the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development.
The
remainder of the aid includes financing that will allow the
International Monetary Fund to lend Ukraine more money, and Canada will
participate in an "extended and expanded debt service suspension for
Ukraine," the PMO news release said.
Zelenskyy's
Canadian visit comes after he spoke with Carney by phone on Friday. The
Prime Minister’s Office released an advisory early Saturday confirming
the meeting, which began at about 1 p.m. AT.
The wartime leader
said in a statement that he updated the prime minister "on the status of
our diplomatic efforts with the United States" to bring the war in
Ukraine to an end after Russia's invasion on Feb. 24, 2022.
Zelenskyy
is set to discuss a 20-point plan for peace with Trump, likely at his
Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Fla., on Sunday.

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says his country and the United States
have reached a consensus on several critical issues aimed at bringing an
end to the conflict with Russia — but sensitivities around territorial
control in Ukraine’s eastern industrial heartland and the management of
the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant remain unresolved.
"In
the coming days, much can be accomplished both bilaterally between
Ukraine and the United States, as well as with our Coalition of the
Willing partners," Zelenskyy said, referring to the 35-nation group of
Ukraine-friendly countries that includes Canada.
"It is critical
that we jointly and constructively bolster Ukraine’s ability to protect
life, reinforce our front-line positions and enhance the effectiveness
of the negotiation process. Right now, it is Russia that is dragging its
feet and trying to waste time."
According to a readout of the
call from the PMO, Carney commended Zelenskyy for his "continued efforts
to secure a just and lasting peace for the people of Ukraine, and the
courage of the Ukrainian people as they face another winter of Russian
aggression."
"The prime minister affirmed Canada’s commitment to
Ukraine throughout these negotiations and emphasized the need to
maintain pressure on Russia to negotiate," the PMO said in a statement
on Friday.
Security guarantees on agenda with Trump
Zelenskyy told reporters in Kyiv that he and Trump will discuss security guarantees for Ukraine during Sunday’s talks.
An
"economic agreement" will also be discussed, Zelenskyy said, adding
that he was unable to confirm "whether anything will be finalized by the
end."
The Ukrainian side will also raise "territorial issues," he said.
Moscow
has insisted that Ukraine relinquish the remaining territory it still
holds in the Donbas — an ultimatum that Ukraine has rejected. Russia has
captured most of Luhansk and about 70 per cent of Donetsk — the two
areas that make up the Donbas.
Earlier this week, Zelenskyy said
he would be willing to withdraw troops from Ukraine’s eastern industrial
heartland as part of a plan to end the war, but only if Russia also
pulls back and the area becomes a demilitarized zone monitored by
international forces.

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy laid out a 20-point peace plan that
negotiators from Ukraine and the U.S. broadly hammered out recently.
Zelenskyy conceded he would be open to making the Donetsk region a
demilitarized, free economic zone monitored by international forces.
Zelenskyy
said on Friday that a potential U.S.-Ukraine agreement is "90 per cent
ready," acknowledging territorial questions have been the biggest
sticking point in these peace talks.
"Our goal is to bring everything to 100 per cent," he said. "That is not easy."
Kremlin
spokesperson Dmitry Peskov told reporters on Friday that the Kremlin
has been in contact with U.S. representatives since Russian presidential
envoy Kirill Dmitriev recently met with American envoys in Florida.
"It was agreed upon to continue the dialogue," Peskov said.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has met Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney ahead of his scheduled meeting with US President Donald Trump. The talks focused on the ongoing Russia–Ukraine war, military support, and diplomatic coordination.
Prime Minister Mark Carney announced $2.5 billion in economic assistance to Ukraine in a meeting with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Saturday in Halifax.
"We're announcing today further economic assistance for Ukraine. $2.5 billion worth of economic assistance that helps unlock financing from the IMF, from the World Bank, from the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development," Carney said.
Zelenskyy made the stop in Canada before heading to the United States for crucial meetings with U.S. President Donald Trump to end the war in Ukraine following Russia's invasion of the country in February 2022.
The in-person meeting comes a day after Zelenskyy took to social media to share that he had a “good conversation” with Carney over the phone.
Ukranian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is in Canada for a meeting with Prime Minister Mark Carney. The leaders are meeting in Halifax, before a phone conference with their European allies. It's the first leg of Zelenskyy's visit to North America. He's due in the United States on Sunday for talks with President Donald Trump, where the two are set to discuss ending the war. Prime Minister Carney promised Canada would provide Ukraine with more support.

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney on Saturday (December 27) announced an additional $2.5 billion of economic aid for Ukraine. The assistance will help Ukraine unlock financing from the International Monetary Fund, Carney said during an appearance with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who also spoke briefly to reporters. Zelenskyy met with Carney in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada, on his way to the U.S. for talks with President Donald Trump in Florida, where Zelenskyy said he hoped to find a compromise over a peace framework to end Russia's war.

It's been obvious from day one that trump is on Putin's side. Everything was for show. He will do nothing to help Ukraine. He and putin are snakes. Neither to be trusted nor believed. 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Avery time Carney and Liberal are in Big trouble or they screwed up up badly they ALWAYS Give Tax Payer Money to Ukraine for Ukraine Canadians just A BIG PIGGY BANK
Once AGAIN, proving that Carney is, without any doubt, an imbecile! Just 9 days ago, there was the $100 million scandal in Ukraine but but that's ok for Canadians to BORROW another $2.5 billion to give to the same crooks. AMAZING level of stupidity.
The United States has rolled out a new set of border policies under Donald Trump, signaling a sharper stance on immigration and cross border control. These measures are already reshaping movement at the northern border and drawing strong reactions from officials on both sides.
Canada has responded quickly, outlining its own countermeasures and diplomatic stance in response to the changes. This video breaks down what the new rules mean, why Canada is pushing back, and how these decisions could impact trade, travel, and political relations moving forward.

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has announced major new financial support for Ukraine during a meeting with President Volodymyr Zelensky in Halifax, reinforcing Ottawa’s commitment as peace talks intensify. Canada pledged 2.5 billion Canadian dollars to back Ukraine’s recovery, debt relief, and International Monetary Fund lending, as Zelensky prepares for critical talks with US President Donald Trump in Florida. The meeting comes at a pivotal moment, with Kyiv pushing a 20-point peace plan and accusing Russia of deliberately stalling negotiations. As European leaders reaffirm support and winter fighting drags on, Canada’s move adds fresh momentum to Ukraine’s diplomatic push for security guarantees and a lasting end to the war.
That's what the Canadian liberal federal government does since Trudeau. That is these thieves steal from taxpayers and give it to thieves in a money laundering scheme.
Did Mark Carney just turn Canada into the "Anchor" of NATO and build a strategic firewall for Zelensky before he faced Donald Trump in Florida? Analysis here.
Methinks everybody knows Carney and his minions know my position on this political spin promoting more war Hence there is no need for me to be redundant N'esy Pas?

Russian President Vladimir Putin received a red carpet welcome from his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping in Beijing on May 16. Putin was welcomed with a guard of honour as he got off his plane for the 2-day state visit. His motorcade was escorted by motorcyclists dressed in ceremonial white uniforms. Remember, this is Putin's first foreign trip since he began his 5th term in office last week.

President Donald Trump hosts Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in the latest effort to close out four years of war. Zelenskyy will meet Trump in Florida at the president's Mar-a-Lago estate, where he has spent much of his time over the holiday period. Ukraine's leader emphasized the need to negotiate from a position of strength in a public statement released prior to their meeting. Russian and Ukrainian negotiations have repeatedly broken down over where the final territorial lines will fall in a peace agreement.

U.S. President Donald Trump’s decision to speak with Russian President Vladimir Putin just before meeting Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has triggered sharp scrutiny over diplomatic optics. The hour-long call, described as constructive by Moscow, took place just ahead of Zelensky’s arrival in the United States — where he received no official welcome or ceremonial reception. The sequence of events has fueled debate over priorities, pressure tactics, and power signaling as Washington pushes for an end to the Ukraine conflict. While talks with Kyiv were still pending, the timing of Trump’s outreach to Moscow sent a message that resonated far beyond protocol, diplomacy, and symbolism.
BS, The liberals stole the election ,and Carney scared many people with the Trump syndrome , What has Carney
done ? He has made many promises , but he didn't deliver any , his net zero ideology will bankrupt Canada ,
His WEF agenda will destroy the economy ,he is a WEF puppet backed by China , You will own nothing but you
will be happy . Pierre and the Conservatives have integrity , they put Canada and Canadians first .
Unlike the Liberals since 2015 they have been the most corrupt party ever , lies and scams almost every day .
and the RCMP covered up his scams , SNC Lavalin ,Jodi Wilson how can anyone forget .
Trudeau was a government from hell. And Carney now is even Worse , The deficit , the taxes ,the crime, inflation
Homeless ,hundreds of thousands lining up at food banks ,everything is broken . All Liberals must be charged and
jailed . Only Pierre and the conservatives can save Canada , But Canadians need to wake up.
President Zelenskyy meets with Canada’s Carney in an important diplomatic stop ahead of his upcoming talks with Donald Trump. The meeting signals continued coordination with allies at a moment when global attention is focused on the next phase of political and strategic discussions.
This video explains why the timing of this meeting matters, what messages may be sent ahead of the Trump talks, and how these conversations could impact Ukraine’s position on the world stage. Stay informed on the developments that could shape what comes next.

As 2025 comes to a close, Canadian politics looks very different than it did a year ago. It was a year that saw Justin Trudeau step aside, a surprise election and a tariff war. Prime Minister Mark Carney wrapped up his first year in office leading a minority government. Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre lost his seat and now faces tough questions about his leadership. All of this has unfolded as Donald Trump’s second presidency continues to reshape Canada’s political and economic reality. To take stock of the year, and to look ahead to what 2026 might bring, we convene our year-end national affairs panel with Rosemary Barton, Ryan Tumilty and Rob Shaw.
Russia-Ukraine peace talks thrown into further doubt as Moscow makes new accusations
Zelenskyy denies claim from Russia that Ukraine tried to attack Putin's residence

Peace hopes in doubt as Russia says Ukraine targeted Putin residence
4 hours ago|
Duration 4:19
Russia
accused Ukraine on Monday of trying to attack President Vladimir
Putin's residence in northern Russia, a day after U.S. President Donald
Trump met Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in Florida and said
they had made progress toward a deal to end the war. Kyiv dismissed
Moscow's allegations as baseless and said they were designed to
undermine peace talks.
Russian Foreign
Minister Sergei Lavrov said on Monday that Ukraine had tried to attack
President Vladimir Putin's residence in northern Russia and so Moscow's
negotiating position would be reviewed. But Ukraine said it was a lie.
Russia
said Ukraine attacked the presidential residence in the Novgorod region
overnight with 91 long-range drones, which were all destroyed by
Russian air defences. No one was injured and there was no damage, Lavrov
said.
"Such reckless actions will not go unanswered," Lavrov said, adding that the attack amounted to "state terrorism."
Lavrov
noted that the attack took place during negotiations about a possible
peace deal with Ukraine and that while Russia would not leave the
negotiations, Moscow's position will be reviewed.
Ukrainian
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy called the accusation a lie, adding that
Moscow was preparing the grounds to strike government buildings in Kyiv.
It
was not immediately clear if Putin was in the Dolgiye Borody — or Long
Beards — residence, which has also been used in the past by Joseph
Stalin, Nikita Khrushchev and Boris Yeltsin.
Yuri Ushakov, the
Kremlin's foreign policy aide, said that Putin and Trump had spoken on
Monday, and that Putin had been briefed by Trump and his senior advisers
about Washington's negotiations with Ukraine.
Trump had been shocked when Putin told him that Ukraine had attacked a presidential residence in Novgorod, Ushakov said.
Trump told reporters outside his Mar-a-Lago club after the call that he had no further information about the alleged attack.
"It's
one thing to be offensive," Trump said. "It's another thing to attack
his house. It's not the right time to do any of that. And I learned
about it from President Putin today. I was very angry about it."
Trump said the conversation with Putin was productive.
"We
have a couple of issues that we're going to get resolved, hopefully,
and if we get them resolved, you're going to have peace," Trump said.
The
Kremlin said President Vladimir Putin, right, told U.S. President
Donald Trump on Monday that Russia would review its position in peace
negotiations after what Moscow said was a Ukrainian drone attack on a
Russian presidential residence. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy,

U.S. offering security guarantees
Earlier
Monday, Zelenskyy said that the United States was offering Ukraine
security guarantees for a period of 15 years as part of a proposed peace
plan, though he said he would prefer an American commitment of up to 50
years to deter Russia from further attempts to seize its neighbour's
land by force.
Trump
hosted Zelenskyy at his Florida resort on Sunday and insisted that
Ukraine and Russia are "closer than ever before" to a peace settlement.
Negotiators
are still searching for a breakthrough on key issues, however,
including whose forces will be withdraw from where and the fate of the
Russian-occupied Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, one of the 10 biggest
in the world.
WATCH | Territory disputes remain a thorny issue after Zelenskyy, Trump meeting:
Trump says Ukraine peace deal closer after meeting with Zelenskyy
December 28|
Duration 11:38
U.S.
President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy
expressed optimism after meeting in Florida on Sunday for talks aimed at
ending the war between Russia and Ukraine. However, both acknowledged
that thorny issues, including territory disputes, remain.
Trump noted that the monthslong U.S.-led negotiations could still collapse.
"Without
security guarantees, realistically, this war will not end," Zelenskyy
told reporters in voice messages responding to questions sent via a
WhatsApp chat.
Ukraine has been fighting Russia since 2014, when
it illegally annexed Crimea and Moscow-backed separatists took up arms
in the Donbas, a vital industrial region in eastern Ukraine.
Details
of the security guarantees have not become public, but Zelenskyy said
Monday that they include how a peace deal would be monitored, as well as
the "presence" of partners. He didn't elaborate, but Russia has said it
won't accept the deployment of troops from NATO countries in Ukraine.
As
indications suggest, negotiations could come to a head in January,
before the fourth anniversary of Russia's full-blown invasion of Ukraine
on Feb. 24, 2022. Putin on Monday claimed that Russian troops are
advancing in the eastern Donetsk region of Ukraine and are also pressing
their offensive in the southern Zaporizhzhia region.
Putin has
sought to portray himself as negotiating from a position of strength as
Ukrainian forces strain to keep back the bigger Russian army.
He also emphasized at a meeting with senior military officers the need to create military buffer zones along the Russian border.
"This is a very important task as it ensures the security of Russia's border regions," he said.

In
a televised meeting with Putin and other top military officials, Gen.
Valery Gerasimov, the chief of Russia's General Staff, said that Russian
forces in 2025 had captured 6,460 square kilometres of territory in
Ukraine, including 334 villages.
Reuters could not independently verify the battlefield reports.
Trump
said he would consider extending U.S. security guarantees for Ukraine
beyond 15 years, according to Zelenskyy. The guarantees would be
approved by the U.S. Congress, as well as by parliaments in other
countries involved in overseeing any settlement, he said.
Zelenskyy said he wants the 20-point peace plan under discussion to be approved by Ukrainians in a national referendum.
However,
holding a ballot requires a ceasefire of at least 60 days, and Moscow
has shown no willingness for a truce without a full settlement.
President Trump reveals shocking details from an early morning phone call with Vladimir Putin confirming he was personally told about a targeted strike on the Russian President’s residence. Watch!
Because Trump heard from the intelligence community that satellite evidence confirms Putin is lying. He didn't want to make a big deal about it. They want Putin to believe that they believe him to shut him up. Stop the conversation. That's what you do to a liar. ..end the conversation.
Imagine

should read my blog titled "Now is the winter of our discontent" Trust
that they will find these words published there in short order before

Nice job - and a very interesting discussion. I'm looking forward to more great episodes, Andrew and Alex.
David - you, Tom and Mark always bring what I call 'Humanistic Professionalism" to your respective jobs. The quality of the interviews that you do, and the pride with which you all ask: "Do you know I'm from Newfoundland?" make you all great role models and ambassadors for this place. We need that in the times we currently live in.
@TheHonourableandTheHack
Thanks! We aim to bring the 'humanistic' and 'professionalism' together—it's like a Newfoundland stew, and everyone’s invited!
I was going to subscribe - actually I did subscribe briefly and then you have David Cochrane on your show the biggest hack on TV to be another spokesperson defender for Carney and his carnage. Ridiculous I’m not going to be watching but thanks.
Great podcast, definitely now a subscriber.
Just a note on visual cosmetics, Alex has a wall showing on his right plus looking to the left, then he needs to be on the left side of the screen ( think of it as a book end ) or be on a flat wall. One other thing and I know it's HARD to do, but looking directly in the camera even when your guest appears on a screen below or to the side makes for a better connection on this side of the TV.
Think I am going to like this podcast though.

@TheHonourableandTheHack
Thanks for the feedback! We’re always looking to improve, and your suggestions about the visual setup are much appreciated. Glad to hear you're enjoying the podcast!
In Episode 3 of The Honourable & the Hack, hosts Andrew Parsons and Alex Bill are joined by Tim Powers, Chairman of Summa Strategies, commentator with VOCM, and a frequent guest on Power & Politics.
The conversation begins with Tim’s family background and personal history, setting the stage for a broader discussion about how experience, perspective, and values shape political judgment.
From there, the episode turns to recent developments in federal politics, including high-profile floor crossings and what they reveal about power, timing, and political calculation. The hosts and Tim discuss how Prime Minister Mark Carney was able to enter the political arena and stabilize the Liberal Party at a critical moment, reshaping the electoral landscape.
They also examine Pierre Poilievre’s prospects following his election loss, and the challenges of adapting strategy and tone when faced with a fundamentally different opponent.
A key theme throughout the episode is leadership authenticity. The discussion explores whether modern politicians rely too heavily on constantly shifting polling data and focus-grouped messaging, often at the expense of speaking candidly. The hosts point to leaders who have continued to perform well by projecting consistency and authenticity — including Doug Ford and several independent politicians in Newfoundland and Labrador.
The episode closes with a thoughtful reflection on how political discourse has changed over time, including the growing role of centralized political machinery, rigid talking points, and a decline in professional courtesy across party lines. The conversation considers how issues are increasingly weaponized, and what that means for governance, public trust, and democratic debate.

Rackets, Defections, and a Cabinet Shuffle? | The Honourable & the Hack – Ep. 4
In Episode 4 of The Honourable & the Hack, Andrew Parsons and Alex Bill step back to reflect on what they’ve learned so far in the world of podcasting — including some of the feedback and listener comments that have landed closest to home.
Then, they get into what really matters: what comes next.
The hosts go out on a limb with their predictions for 2026, including the possibility of defections and major debates — or “rackets,” as they’re known in Newfoundland and Labrador — inside the House of Assembly. Drawing on firsthand experience, they talk about decorum in the House, how it’s changed over time, and some of the most memorable rackets they’ve witnessed.
The conversation then widens to the national stage, where a series of quiet but significant moves within the federal civil service before the holiday break caught the attention of those watching closely on Parliament Hill.
The hosts unpack what those shifts could signal — including the potential for a federal Cabinet shuffle and broader political consequences in the year ahead.
This episode blends reflection, insider perspective, and informed speculation — the kind of conversation you don’t often hear once the cameras are rolling.

The Conservatives had upped the pressure earlier Monday, calling for Freeland's swift resignation.
"One cannot be a Canadian MP and an adviser to a foreign government," said Conservative foreign affairs critic Michael Chong earlier Monday. "She must do one or the other.
"She should resign as adviser or as MP for University-Rosedale."
Premier Doesn’t Believe Parsons is Done With Political Life for Good
May 2, 2025 | 8:00 AM
Premier Andrew Furey and Andrew Parsons in 2022 (VOCM News)
Premier Andrew Furey doesn’t think that we have seen the last—politically speaking—of his former colleague Andrew Parsons.
Parsons, a cabinet minister and the MHA for Burgeo-La Poile, walked away from public life yesterday. He had already made it known that his name would not be on the ballot in the next election.
Premier Furey says they were good friends even before he became premier.
He says Newfoundland and Labrador is better off with Parsons having chosen to serve the public.

Andrew
Parsons, Newfoundland and Labrador's most recent energy minister and
MHA for Burgeo-La Poile, has announced his resignation as he steps away
from politics.
Parsons first announced he wouldn't be running in
the next general election in September, citing a desire to spend more
time with a young family. On Thursday, he announced he'll be out of
office effective immediately.
"I feel good, because I feel like
I'm going out on my sort of terms. I feel like we've gotten done the
files we need to get done. I feel good about what we've managed to
accomplish," Parsons told CBC News.
Parsons
entered provincial politics in 2011. He followed his father, Kelvin,
who held the same seat in the House of Assembly for 13 years.
The next MHA of the district will be the first non-Parsons since 1999.
Andrew
Parsons held a number of posts while the Liberals were the Official
Opposition, including serving as the Opposition House leader. In
government since 2015, he has been government House leader, and has had
cabinet portfolios in justice, municipal affairs and environment.
Parsons
said he's known for a while that he was ready to move on, but largely
stayed on due to his connection to outgoing Premier Andrew Furey.
Furey's last day as premier is Friday, and Parsons said he didn't want
to burden the next leader — either John Abbott or John Hogan — with his
exit.
"Me and [Furey] are extremely close.… He knew last February I
was ready to walk away," he said. "He's been so good. It's been an
honour to serve him."
Whoever the next premier, his job will come
with choosing a new cabinet — including filling the now-empty
ministerial spot for the Department of Industry, Energy and Technology.
On Friday, Furey announced that Steve Crocker, the minister of tourism, will fill the portfolio in the interim.
Parsons
said his exit won't trigger a byelection, and his seat will instead be
filled in the general election that needs to take place this fall. His
constituency assistant will stay in her role, he said, and he assured
residents they are in good hands.
He told CBC he's looking forward
to what comes next, adding he wouldn't be opposed to returning to his
previous profession as a lawyer.
"I'm going to wake up tomorrow and take my kids to school. And then, I don't know," he said.
"I was hoping to see the Montreal [Canadiens] game, but they lost that."
Former
Newfoundland and Labrador industry, energy and technology minister
Andrew Parsons left politics on May 1, after 13 years as MHA for
Burgeo-La Poile on Newfoundland’s south coast. (Patrick Butler/Radio-Canada)
Former Newfoundland and Labrador industry, energy and technology minister Andrew Parsons registered as a federal lobbyist just three months after leaving provincial politics.
His
client? Exploits Valley Renewable Energy Corporation (EVREC), the
proponent of a major wind to green hydrogen and ammonia project in
central Newfoundland.
As minister responsible for the province’s
energy sector from 2020 to 2025, Parsons oversaw the selection of EVREC
as one of a shortlist of developers eligible to use Crown lands to build
wind farms — a decision which eventually led to 300 square kilometres
of public land being reserved for the company’s potential use in 2023.
Nothing in provincial or federal law prohibits Parsons from lobbying decision-makers in Ottawa.
But
NDP leader Jim Dinn said the speed of Parsons’s transition from
minister to lobbyist for EVREC creates at least the perception of a
conflict of interest.
“I have a problem with that, yes… as a
provincial minister, you've got the inside track not only with the
province but also with your federal counterparts,” Dinn said.
Parsons
left politics on May 1, after 13 years as MHA for Burgeo-La Poile on
Newfoundland’s south coast. The same month he resigned, he landed a job
as senior counsel at Sussex Strategy Group, a public affairs firm
headquartered in Toronto.
On Aug. 4, Parsons registered as a
consultant for EVREC with the federal Registry of Lobbyists. According
to the registry's website, which tracks and allows users to view
lobbying activities at the federal level, he communicated with federal
Minister of Innovation, Science and Economic Development Mélanie Joly on
September 16.
Parsons did not respond to requests for an interview.
EVREC
is proposing to build 3.5 gigawatts of wind production in the Botwood
area, which would power a green hydrogen and ammonia plant. The
company's website values the project at $12 billion.
What do the rules say?
Manon
Dion, a spokesperson for the Office of the Commissioner of Lobbying of
Canada, confirmed in an email that there are no federal rules
prohibiting former provincial ministers from lobbying federal public
office holders.
Newfoundland and Labrador Commissioner of
Lobbyists Hilary Wicks Morrow said that former provincial ministers
cannot lobby provincial MHAs, their staff or St. John’s city councillors
for 12 months after leaving office. She explained, however, that there
is nothing to prevent former ministers from lobbying federal
decision-makers.
Public trust at play, says NDP leader
Dinn,
who made efforts to reduce real and perceived conflicts of interest a
key plank of the NDP campaign during last October's provincial election,
said he believes the current regulations governing lobbying by former
politicos need to be “tightened up.”

minister to lobbyist for EVREC creates at least the perception of a
conflict of interest. (Patrick Butler/CBC)
“There
is a perception, obviously, that politicians are in it for their own
good. I don't buy that, I think everyone who gets in here signs up for
the right reasons,” Dinn said.
“But obviously, if we're going to
nurture that trust and restore that trust, then it comes down to making
rules for ourselves that clearly demonstrate a reinforced notion that
we're here not to serve ourselves, but to serve the people we
represent.”
The province's Minister of Justice and Public Safety
Helen Conway Ottenheimer declined an interview request and didn't answer
questions about whether the new PC government intends to strengthen
regulations for ministers-turned-lobbyists.
Liberal Leader John Hogan, for years Parsons's cabinet colleague, also refused an interview request.
"[The]
lobbying activities you are referring to are federal in nature and as
such are best answered by the federal government," said Hogan's
spokesperson Sonja Pomeroy.
During the election campaign, the NDP
suggested extending from 12 to 48 months the "cooling off” period during
which elected officials who leave provincial politics are prohibited
from lobbying current provincial decision-makers.

The Liberals have held sway in Newfoundland and Labrador ever since
the federal and provincial parties won the elections of 2015. But that
could be changing. The latest polls suggest Pierre Poilievre and the
Conservatives might turn the province blue, and while Premier Andrew
Furey’s Liberals are still narrowly ahead in provincial voting
intentions, they now face a new challenger as the opposition PCs have
a new leader.

Alex Bill's questions to CENOVUS ENERGY (CVE) leadership
Question · Q2 2024
Alex
Bill from allNewfoundlandLabrador asked about a potential delay in the
SeaRose FPSO's return and questioned reports of potential sales of South
Asian assets.
Answer
Executive
Keith Chiasson confirmed a slight delay for the SeaRose, with the
vessel now expected back on station late Q3 for a production restart in
early Q4, attributing it to a slow start on steel replacement that is
now progressing well. Executive Jonathan McKenzie dismissed reports of
asset sales, stating, "We really like our portfolio today" and the
company is focused on execution, not divestitures.
Ask follow-up questions
How has the production guidance for the Offshore segment been adjusted in recent quarters?
What were the production volumes from the Asia Pacific assets as reported in the last four quarterly statements?
How has management's commentary on the SeaRose life extension project evolved over the past year?

Alex Bill is a journalist in St. John’s and the editor of allNewfoundlandLabrador, where he covers business and political news and manages a newsroom of seven reporters.
His debut non-fiction work, Dangerously Close to Contempt,
is about his father, Roger Bill. Despite an obvious and admitted bias,
the book brings journalistic rigour to a family story, with extensive
research and dozens of interviews exploring the largely unknown
experience of Vietnam War resisters in Newfoundland, the development of a
built heritage activist community in the 1970s, and Bill’s life as a
journalist, including festering tensions with the Catholic church in
Newfoundland and foreign entanglements such as the Tiananmen Square
protests, the Gulf War and Yugoslav Wars.
A lawyer by trade, Alex followed his parents into the journalism
world in 2015. He writes non-fiction, but is open to exploring new
creative opportunities in the limited space that his work and full life
with his wife and daughter allow.

Alex
Bill has worked as a journalist in St. John’s for the past decade and
is best known for his role as editor for AllNewfoundlandLabrador.
Alex has written upwards of 4,000 news stories in his 10-year career, but now, he’s trying something different — his first book.
It’s not just any story, either; it’s about his father, Roger Bill. Alex described him as a “rebel” and an “agitator.”
“He
joked that this would be an easier project to do for him after he was
dead, but it was a little easier for me to do while he was still alive,”
said Alex.
WHO IS ROGER BILL
Roger,
now 80, was born and raised in Indiana, in the United States. In the
1960s, Alex said, he decided not to fight in the Vietnam War and
instead, he moved to Canada.
According
to Alex, after some time in British Columbia and Halifax, he ended up
in Newfoundland in his late 20s and has been here ever since.
Alex
said that in Newfoundland, Roger became known as a journalist,
something he had long been interested in, and a local activist.
He
helped fight against a highway that was going to be built through
downtown St. John’s in the 1970s and was involved in turning the LSPU
Hall into a theatre, added Alex.
WHY WRITE THE BOOK?
When
it comes to why he wanted to write this book, Alex said it’s because
Roger’s contributions, not just locally, but nationally and
internationally, have value. Although his father took some convincing,
Alex thinks he sees that same value in sharing those contributions.
“I think he’s proud of what he’s done, but he’s modest as well, and he doesn’t think he merits a story,” said Alex.
“But
I think he also believes that some of the things that he was involved
with, such as being early on the ground for the Tiananmen Square
protests, have value.”
Alex
said he always wanted to try writing something longer and that he knew
his father’s story well, but he wanted to look at it in a deeper, more
professional way.

HIS PROCESS FOR CRAFTING
Over
the two years, Alex interviewed more than 50 people, including those
who worked with Roger and those who didn’t always get along with him.
Alex
said he made sure to treat the project like real journalism. “I did
treat it professionally. I didn’t call him dad in interviews, for
instance,” said Alex.
The book is about 80,000 words long and will be published this fall by After Books.
“I
thought it was a tale that not a lot of people here would know,
especially the younger generation,” said Alex. “Through his life, it
also comprises a lot of other stories that I think are of local,
historical significance.”
WHAT DID ROGER THINK
Alex said that his dad has already read the book and he thinks he enjoyed it, but also believes his feelings are ambivalent.
Alex
added he wasn’t sure that his dad wanted to be the subject of the book
in the first place, but because it was something his son wanted to do,
it was appreciated.
“As
the process moved along, he was interested in telling those stories and
his involvement in particular stories, and that’s the part that he was
most candid about,” said Alex.
“When
I asked him about his feelings, he didn’t have much to say. But when I
asked him about Atlantic Place, the LSPU Hall, or running Sunday Morning
at CBC, he had a lot more to say.”
20 questions
Q. What is your full name?
A. Robert Alexander Bill, but I go by Alex.
Q. Where and when were you born, and where do you live today?
A. Born
at the Grace Hospital, but spent my earliest years in Pouch Cove. I
spent most of my life in St. John’s, and it is where I live today.
Q. What is one thing you would like people to know about you?
A. I would like people to know that I take their confidences very seriously and with the utmost importance.
Q. What would people be surprised to learn about you?
A. I
have completely abstained from all drugs and alcohol for some time now.
It isn’t something I’ve been public about, but it’s been a big life
change for the better.
Q. What is the hardest thing you have done?
A. We probably just touched on it. There are different steps to it, and it’s not something that happens overnight or perfectly.
Q. Can you describe one experience that changed your life?
A. It’s
cliché, but becoming a father. Since my daughter Zoe came into the
world, I find that the weight of my responsibilities and aspirations
that I used to feel all the time isn’t there the same way, and I can
kind of just focus on the day or the minute in front of me more easily.
Q. What is your greatest indulgence?
A. When I was a teenager, I watched a lot of Anime, and as an adult, I still find the time, when my wife, Jessica, doesn’t mind.

Q. What is your favourite book?
A. “Martyr” by Kevin Akbar. It really spoke to me personally as well, and was a reading experience I won’t forget.
Q. What is your favourite movie?
A. Birdman, Death of Stalin and Oldboy.
Q. What music do you like to listen to?
A. It’s often a lot of indie or Americana or folk, but if I’m exercising, it could be EDM or punk rock.
Q. How do you like to relax?
A. When
I became a journalist, I fell out of reading, and it’s because my
day-to-day work life involves so much reading that it didn’t seem like
leisure anymore. But I’ve since changed that and forced myself to read
more, and I find it mentally refreshing.
Q. Who would play you in a movie about your life?
A. Alexander Skarsgard.
Q. What is your greatest fear?
A. I’ve long struggled with death.
Q. What is your greatest joy?
A. I
can’t play basketball competitively anymore because of my knees, but
just stepping into a jump shot and seeing it go through the net and
hearing that sound, it is a simple joy.
Q. What is your most treasured possession?
A.
I don’t find myself too attached to anything material. If my house were
on fire after my family was out, the first things I’d try to get would
probably be some pieces of art.
Q. What is the best advice you got from a parent or mentor?
A. A
former MUN professor, Shane O’Dea, told me that I needed to take the
time to appreciate and enjoy life, rather than just working towards
something.
Q. What would you say is your best quality, and what would you say your worst quality is?
A. When
I set my mind and my time towards something, I try to do a good job. So
I guess that’s dedication or tenacity. And then my worst is probably
the flip side of that, and that’s struggling to find balance in life.
And you know, I’m trying to get better at that, but it can be tricky.
Q. Where is your favourite place in the world?
A. I’m a city guy, and cities like Seoul, Paris and Montreal all have special connections towards me, and even St John’s.
Q. What advice would you give to your 12-year-old self?
A. Don’t be afraid to be ambitious, and don’t be afraid to make mistakes.
Q. Which three people would join you for your dream dinner party?
A. Anthony Bourdain, George Orwell and Charles Bukowski.

A member of the Liberal Party of Newfoundland and Labrador, he represented the electoral district of Burgeo-La Poile
from 2011 until 2025. He was the Minister of Industry, Energy and
Technology in Newfoundland and Labrador at the time of his registration.
Born in Channel-Port Aux Basques, Parsons is the son of Kelvin Parsons, his predecessor as the district's MHA.[6]
Background
Parsons earned a Bachelor of Arts from the University of New Brunswick before receiving a Bachelor of Laws from the University of Saskatchewan College of Law. While in University, Parsons was involved in various extracurricular activities and student associations.
After completing his Bachelor of Laws
in 2004, Parsons was called to the Newfoundland and Labrador Bar in
2005, after articling with Ches Crosbie Barristers and Marks &
Parsons Law Office. Parsons served as an associate solicitor with Marks
and Parsons Law Firm, a general practice located in Port aux Basques,
NL. Parsons is a member of the Law Society of NL, but took
non-practicing status with the Law Society as of December 31, 2011. He
is now practicing as the Attorney General of Newfoundland and Labrador.[7]
Parsons was active within his community and surrounding area. He
served on the executive of Port aux Basques Minor Hockey Association for
7 years, including 5 as president), ending in June 2011; served as a
committee member for Port aux Basques Come Home Year 2005; served as a
member of the Southwest Coast Marine and Mountain Zone Committee, and is
currently a board member on the Dr. Charles L. Legrow Health Care
Foundation. A former President of the Port aux Basques & Area
Chamber of Commerce, Parsons was also one of the people instrumental in
reviving junior hockey in Port aux Basques, with the return of the
Junior Mariners in 2009.
Parsons served as the chairperson of the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Torch Relay Committee.[8]
Parsons served as president of the Port aux Basques Minor Hockey
Association for three years and also served as second vice-president two
years before that. He was also an organizer of Port aux Basques' bid to
become Hockeyville in 2008, the community placed third.[9][10]
Parsons won the Brian Wakelin Executive of the Year Award from Hockey
Newfoundland and Labrador in 2008 and was a winner of the Hockey NL
Meritorious Service award for 2010.[11]
Parsons was also recognized for his contribution to western
Newfoundland when he was named to the Top 10 of the Western Star
newspaper's top 40 under 40 list for 2010.[12]
Political career
On October 11, 2011, Parsons was elected as the Member of the House of Assembly in the district of Burgeo-La Poile.[13] He was sworn in by Justice Orsborn on October 27, 2011.[14]
He served as Official Opposition critic for Advanced Education and
Skills; Child, Youth and Family Services; Health and Community Services;
and Justice and Attorney General. He also serves as the Deputy
Opposition House Leader.[15]
On May 2, 2012, Parsons proposed a private members' resolution
for a fixed House of Assembly schedule. The purpose was to establish
some stability and semblance of regularity. In Newfoundland and Labrador
there is no legislation governing the House of Assembly in terms of
when it shall sit.[16]
In the 2015 provincial election, Parsons received nearly 4,000
votes in his district (96.48 per cent of total votes) and no other
candidate received more than 100 votes. This is a Canadian record (not
including acclamations).[17] He was appointed as Minister of Justice, Attorney General and Government House Leader in Newfoundland and Labrador.[18]
Early on in that role, he has worked toward establishing a Drug
Treatment Court, expansion of the Family Violence Intervention Court,[19] establishing a Serious Incident Response team as civilian oversight for police,[20][21] and a pilot program for free legal advice for sexual assault complainants.[22]
Parsons was re-elected in the 2019 provincial election. He
subsequently returned to cabinet in the same portfolios. He resigned as
Government House Leader in the House of Assembly in November 2019. On
August 19, 2020, he was appointed Minister of Industry, Energy and
Technology, and Attorney General in the Furey government.[23]
He was re-elected in the 2021 provincial election.[24]
On May 1, 2025, he announced a sudden and immediate resignation from his cabinet post and as an MHA. Previously, he indicated that he would not seek re-election in the 2025 election.[25] His resignation comes just 2 days before a leadership race within his own party.[26] Parsons said that his resignation will not trigger a by-election for Burgeo-LaPoile. Instead, it will be filled in the provincial election.[27][28][29]

Just so ya know David I am forwarding these emails to other
politicians as well. But I didn't bother to call them because they
are lawyers as well. Therefore I see no need to explain my actions to
them. Plus the smart one's have a bad habit of trying to ignore me
anyway. I t appears that standard operating procedure for them is to
ignore. delay, deny and then try to settle. They are confused by
someone that wants to argue law rather than go away with the gold.
What should be interesting to both of us is whether or not they have a
sudden fit of ethical behavior after they discover that an honest
western farmer and wild but ethical maritime biker have been talking
about them. Please notice that I am more than willing to help such a
man as Byron Prior anyway I can. I just wish there were more men like
him on this planet. Trust me the US Attorney backtracking in the
Martha Stewart matter and prosecuting a Secret Service Agent is too
funny to relate in this email.

Please notice Hance Colburne host of CBC Radio Information Morning at 91.3FM in Saint John was the moderator of the last debate while Trudeau the Younger was in the riding
Please notice I am showing my lawsuit with the Federal Seal on it Hance Colburne host of CBC Radio Information Morning at 91.3FM in Saint John was the moderator of the last debate while Trudeau the Younger was in the riding. Just before polling day CBC published an article about Fundy Royal and Trudeau with no mention of me but featured Colburne interviewing the other 4 just like they always do
1.HER
MAJESTY THE QUEEN (Crown)
is Elizabeth II, the Queen of England, the Protector of the Faith of the Church
of England, the longest reigning monarch of the United Kingdom and one of the
wealthiest persons in the world. Canada pays homage to the Queen because she
remained the Head of State and the Chief Executive Officer of Canada after the Canada
Act 1982(U.K.) 1982, c. 11 came
into force on April 17, 1982. The standing of the Queen in Canada was explained
within the 2002Annual Report FORM 18-K filed by Canada with the United States
Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). It states as follows:
“The
executive power of the federal Government is vested in the Queen, represented
by the Governor General, whose powers are exercised on the advice of the
federal Cabinet, which is responsible to the House of Commons. The legislative
branch at the federal level, Parliament, consists of the Crown, the Senate and
the House of Commons.”
“The
executive power in each province is vested in the Lieutenant Governor,
appointed by the Governor General on the advice of the federal Cabinet.
The Lieutenant Governor’s powers are exercised on the advice of the
provincial cabinet, which is responsible to the legislative assembly. Each
provincial legislature is composed of a Lieutenant Governor and a legislative assembly
made up of members elected for a period of five years.”
2.Her
Majesty the Queen is the named defendant pursuant to sections 23(1) and 36 of the
Crown Liability and Proceedings Act. Some of the state actors whose duties and actions are at issue in this
action are the Prime Minister, Premiers, Governor General, Lieutenant
Governors, members of the Canadian Forces (CF), and Royal Canadian Mounted
Police (RCMP), federal and provincial Ministers of Public Safety, Ministers of
Justice, Ministers of Finance, Speakers, Clerks, Sergeants-at-Arms and any
other person acting as Aide-de-Camp providing security within and around the
House of Commons, the legislative assemblies or acting as security for other federal,
provincial and municipal properties.
3.Her
Majesty the Queen’s servants the RCMP
whose mandate is to serve and protect Canadian citizens and assist in the
security of parliamentary properties and the protection of public officials
should not deny a correspondence from a former Deputy Prime Minister who was
appointed to be Canada’s first Minister of Public Safety in order to oversee
the RCMP and their cohorts. The letter that
helped to raise the ire of a fellow Canadian citizen who had never voted in his
life to run for public office four times thus far is quoted as follows:
“Mr. David R. AmosJan 3rd, 2004
153Alvin Avenue
Milton, MA U.S.A. 02186
Dear Mr. Amos
Thank you for your letter of November 19th,
2003, addressed to
my predecessor, the Honourble
Wayne Easter, regarding your safety.
I apologize for the delay in
responding.
If you have any concerns about your
personal safety, I can only
suggest that you contact the
police of local jurisdiction. In addition, any
evidence of criminal activity
should be brought to their attention since the
police are in the best position
to evaluate the information and take action
as deemed appropriate.
I trust that this information is
satisfactory.
Yours sincerely
A. Anne McLellan”
4.DAVID RAYMOND AMOS (Plaintiff),
a Canadian Citizen and the first Chief of the Amos Clan, was born in Sackville, New
Brunswick (NB) on July 17th, 1952.
5.The Plaintiff claims
standing in this action as a citizen whose human rights and democratic
interests are to be protected by due performance of the obligations of Canada’s
public officials who are either elected or appointed and all servants of the
Crown whose mandate is to secure the public safety, protect public interests
and to uphold and enforce the rule of law. The Crown affirms his right to seek
relief for offences to his rights under section 24(1) of the Canadian
Charter of Rights and Freedoms (Charter).
Paragraphs 6 to
13 explain the delay in bringing this action before Federal Court and
paragraphs 25 to 88 explain this matter.
6.The Plaintiff states that
pursuant to the democratic rights found in Section 3 of the Charter he was a
candidate in the elections of the membership of the 38th and 39th
Parliaments in the House of Commons and a candidate in the elections of the
memberships of the legislative assemblies in Nova Scotia (NS) and NB in 2006.
7.The Plaintiff states that if
he is successful in finding a Chartered Accountant to audit his records as per
the rules of Elections Canada, he will attempt to become a candidate in the
election of the membership of the 42nd Parliament.
8.The Plaintiff states that beginning
in January of 2002, he made many members of the RCMP and many members of the
corporate media including employees of a Crown Corporation, the Canadian Broadcasting
Corporation (CBC) well aware of the reason why he planned to return to Canada
and become a candidate in the next federal election. In May of 2004, all
members seated in the 37th Parliament before the writ was dropped
for the election of the 38th Parliament and several members of the
legislative assemblies of NB and Newfoundland and Labrador (NL) knew the reason
is the ongoing rampant public corruption. Evidence of the Plaintiff’s concerns
can be found within his documents that the Office of the Governor General acknowledged were in
its possession ten years ago before the Speech from the Throne in 2004. The
Governor General’s letter is as follows:
“September 11th,
2004
Dear Mr. Amos,
On behalf of Her Excellency the
Right Honourable Adrienne Clarkson,
I acknowledge receipt of two sets of
documents and CD regarding corruption,
one
received from you directly, and the other forwarded to us by the Office of
the
Lieutenant Governor of New Brunswick.
I regret to inform you that the Governor
General cannot intervene in
matters that are the responsibility of
elected officials and courts of Justice of
Canada. You already contacted the various
provincial authorities regarding
your concerns, and these were the appropriate
steps to take.
Yours sincerely.
Renee Blanchet
Office of the Secretary
to the Governor General”
9.The
Plaintiff states that the documents contain proof that the Crown by way of the
RCMP and the Minister of Public Safety/Deputy Prime Minister knew that he was
the whistleblower offering his assistance to Maher Arar and his lawyers in the
USA. The Governor General acknowledged his concerns about the subject of this
complaint and affirmed that the proper provincial authorities were contacted
but ignored the Plaintiff’s faxes and email to the RCMP and the Solicitor
General in November of 2003 and his tracked US Mail to the Solicitor General
and the Commissioner of the RCMP by way of the Department of Foreign Affairs
and International Trade (DFAIT) in December of 2003 and the response he
received from the Minister of Public Safety/Deputy Prime Minister in early
2004. One document was irrefutable proof that there was no need whatsoever to
create a Commission of Inquiry into Maher Arar concerns at about the same point
in time. That document is a letter from the US Department of Homeland Security
(DHS) Office Inspector General (OIG complaint no. C04-01448) admitting contact
with his office on November 21, 2003 within days of the Plaintiff talking to
the office of Canada’s Solicitor General while he met with the US Attorney
General and one day after the former Attorney General of New York (NY) and the
former General Counsel of the SEC testified at a public hearing before the US
Senate Banking Committee about investigations of the mutual fund industry.
10.The
Plaintiff states that another document that the Plaintiff received during the
election of the 39th Parliament further supported the fact he was a
whistleblower about financial crimes. In December of 2006 a member of the RCMP was
ethical enough to admit that he understood the Plaintiff’s concerns and
forwarded his response to the acting Commissioner of the RCMP and others
including a NB Cabinet Minister Michael B. Murphy QC. The Crown is well
aware that any member sitting in the last days of the 37th
Parliament through to the end of the 41st Parliament could have
stood in the House of Commons and asked the Speaker if the Crown was aware of
the Plaintiff’s actions. All parliamentarians should have wondered why his
concerns and that of Mr. Arar’s were not heard by a committee within the House
of Commons in early 2004. Instead, the Crown created an expensive Commission to
delay the Arar matter while he sued the governments of Canada and the USA and
his wife ran in the election of the 38th Parliament. In 2007, Arar received a $10-million settlement from
the Crown and the Prime Ministergave him an official apology yet the US
government has never admitted fault. A month after the writ was dropped for the
election of the 42nd Parliament and CBC is reporting Syrian concerns
constantly, Mr. Arar’s lawyer announcedthat the RCMP will
attempt to extradite a Syrian intelligence officer because it had laid a charge in absentia and a Canada-wide
warrant and Interpol notice were issued. The Plaintiff considers such news
to be politicking practiced by the Minister of Public Safety. He noticed the
usually outspoken Mr. Arar made no comment but his politically active wife had
lots to say on CBC.Meanwhile, the RCMP continues
to bar a fellow citizen from parliamentary properties because he exercised the
same democratic rights after he had offered his support to Arar by way of his
American lawyers. The aforementioned letter about financial crimes was from the
Inspector General for Tax Administration in the US Department of the Treasury. Mr
Arar’s lawyers, the RCMP, the Canadian Revenue Agency and the US Internal
Revenue Service still refuse to even admit TIGTA complaint no. 071-0512-0055-C
exists. However, the Commissioner of Federal Court, the Queen’s Privy Council
Office and other agencies were made well aware of it before the Speech from the
Throne in 2006.
11.The
Plaintiff states that from June 24, 2004 until the day he signed this complaint
he has diligently tried to resolve the breach of his rights under the Charter
that are the subject of this complaint with any public official in Canada whom
he believed had the mandate or the ability to request that the Crown
investigate and correct the malicious actions and inactions of the RCMP,
Sergeants-at-Arms and Aides-de-Camp in all jurisdictions. Until June 16, 2006
the Plaintiff did not have irrefutable proof to support this complaint. Time
did not permit him to address it immediately in Federal Court in 2006 because
his slate was full. For instance on June 16, 2006 while dealing with deeply
troubling private family matters, he was running against the Attorney General
for his seat in the NS provincial election while arguing members of the RCMP
about strange calls he got from someone in Ottawa who claimed the Department of
Public Safety as her client, dealing with many liberal party members who were
about to witness in Moncton NB the first debate of all those who wished to
become their new leader, assisting a farmer in his attempt to get some authority
to properly investigate the demise of his cattle and discussing with members of
the Saint John NB City Council the actions of a sergeant in the Saint John
Police Force who was calling friends of the Plaintiff and claiming that he was
drug dealing member of a bike gang that they should stay away from while he was
preparing to intervene in pipeline matter that was about to heard by the
National Energy Board in Saint John .
12.The
Plaintiff states that in April of 2007 he wrote a complaint about this matter
and returned to the Capital District of NB in order to file it and argue the Crown
before the Federal Court if it did not wish to settle. A clerk of this court
informed him that his complaint was not composed correctly, so he began to
rewrite this complaint. However, as soon as it was known what the Plaintiff was
about to file he was subject to further police harassment and his family began
to suffer from constant slander, sexual harassment and death threats on the
Internet and on the telephone that continues to this very day while the RCMP,
the FBI and many other law enforcement authorities continue to ignored the
obvious evidence of cybercrime practiced against many people including his
minor children.
13.The
Plaintiff states that the Crown’s only response has been further harassment by
the RCMP including false arrest and imprisonment and theft of his property by
the Fredericton Police Force supported by other law enforcement authorities in
Canada and the USA. The Governor General has had the Plaintiff’s documents for
over ten years to study. The Crown now has one of the complaints that the RCMP
has been delaying since 2003. It is as follows:
The Complaint
14.The
Plaintiff states that on June 24, 2004 during the election of the membership of the 38th
Parliament the Crown breached his right to peaceful assembly and
association under Section 2(c) and (d) of the Charter. The Sergeant-at-Arms of
the Legislative Assembly of NB (a former member of the RCMP) supported by the
Fredericton Police Force (FPF), the Corps of Commissionaires (COC) and at least
one RCMP officer acting as Aide-de-Camp to the NB Lieutenant Governor barred
the Plaintiff under threat of arrest from the legislative properties in NB.
81.The Plaintiff states that
matters of harassment that the police refuse to investigate would have entered
the realm of ridiculous in 2012 if the reasons behind the suicides of teenagers
did not become well known by the corporate media. In the summer of 2012
a new member of the FPS who as a former member of the EPS had inspired a
lawsuit for beating a client in Edmonton called the Plaintiff and accused him
of something he could not do even if he wanted to while he was arguing many
lawyers byway of emails about a matter concerning cyber stalking that was
before the SCC.The member of the FPF
accused the Plaintiff of calling the boss of Bullying Canada thirty times. At
that time his MagicJack account had been hacked and although he could receive
incoming calls, the Plaintiff could not call out to anyone. The Plaintiff freely
sent the FPF his telephone logs sourced from MagicJack after his account
restored without the Crown having to issue a warrant to see his telephone
records. He asked the FPF and the RCMP where did the records of his phone calls
to and from the FPF and the RCMP go if his account had not been hacked. The
police never responded. Years later a Troll sent Dean Roger Ray a message
through YouTube providing info about the Plaintiff’s MagicJack account with the
correct password. Dean Roger Ray promptly posted two videos in YouTube clearly
displaying the blatant violation of privacy likely to protect himself from the
crime. The Plaintiff quickly pointed out the videos to the RCMP and they
refused to investigate as usual. At about the same point in time the Plaintiff
noticed that the CBC had published a record of a access to information requests.
On the list of requests he saw his name along with several employees of CBC and
the boss of Bullying Canada. The Plaintiff called the CBC to make inquiries
about what he saw published on the Internet. CBC told him it was none of his
business and advised him if he thought his rights had been offended to file a
complaint. It appears the Plaintiff that employees of CBC like other
questionable Crown Corporations such as the RCMP rely on their attorneys far
too much to defend them from litigation they invite from citizens they
purportedly serve. The employees of CBC named within the aforementioned and the
CBC Legal Dept. are very familiar with the Plaintiff and of the Crown barring
him from legislative properties while he running for public office.
82.The
Plaintiff states that any politician or police officer should have seen enough
of Barry Winter’s WordPress blog by June 22, 2015 particularly after the very
unnecessary demise of two men in Alberta because of the incompetence of the
EPS. Barry Winters was blogging about the EPS using battering ram in order to execute a warrant for a 250
dollar bylaw offence at the same time Professor Kris Wells revealed in a
televised interview that the EPS member who was killed was the one
investigating the cyber harassment of him. It was obvious why the police and
politicians ignored all the death threats, sexual harassment, cyberbullying and
hate speech of a proud Zionist who claimed to be a former CF officer who now
working for the Department of National Defence (DND). It is well known that no
politician in Canada is allowed to sit in Parliament as a member of the major
parties unless they support Israel. Since 2002 the Plaintiff made it well known
that he does not support Israeli actions and was against the American plan to
make war on Iraq. On Aril 1, 2003 within two weeks of the beginning of the War
on Iraq, the US Secret Service threatened to practice extraordinary rendition
because false allegations of a Presidential threat were made against him by an
American court. However, the Americans and the Crown cannot deny that what he
said in two courts on April 1, 2003 because he published the recordings of what
was truly said as soon as he got the court tapes. The RCMP knows those words
can still be heard on the Internet today. In 2009, the Plaintiff began to
complain of Barry Winters about something far more important to Canada as
nation because of Winters’ bragging of being one of 24 CF officers who assisted
the Americans in the planning the War on Iraq in 2002. In the Plaintiff’s
humble opinion the mandate of the DND is Defence not Attack. He is not so naive
to think that such plans of war do not occur but if Barry Winters was in fact
one of the CF officers who did so then he broke his oath to the Crown the
instant he bragged of it in his blog. If Winters was never an officer in the CF
then he broke the law by impersonating an officer. The Plaintiff downloaded the
emails of the Privy Council about Wikileaks. The bragging of Barry Winters
should have been investigated in 2009 before CBC reported that documents released
by WikiLeaks supported his information about Canadian involvement in the War on
Iraq.
83.The Plaintiff states that
now that Canada is involved in more war in Iraq again itdid notserve
Canadian interests and reputation to allow Barry Winters to publish the
following words three times over five years after he began his bragging:

Little David Amos’ “True History Of War” Canadian Airstrikes And
Stupid Justin Trudeau
Canada’s and Canadians free ride is over. Canada can no longer hide
behind Amerka’s and NATO’s skirts.
When I was still
in Canadian Forces then Prime Minister Jean Chretien actually committed
the Canadian Army to deploy in the second campaign in Iraq, the
Coalition of the Willing. This was against or contrary to the
wisdom or advice of those of us Canadian officers that were involved in
the
initial planning phases of that operation. There were significant
concern in
our planning cell, and NDHQ about of the dearth of concern for
operational guidance,
direction, and forces for operations after the initial occupation of
Iraq. At
the “last minute” Prime Minister Chretien and the Liberal government
changed
its mind. The Canadian government told our amerkan cousins that we would
not
deploy combat troops for the Iraq campaign, but would deploy a Canadian
Battle
Group to Afghanistan, enabling our amerkan cousins to redeploy troops
from
there to Iraq. The PMO’s thinking that it was less costly to deploy
Canadian
Forces to Afghanistan than Iraq. But alas no one seems to remind the
Liberals
of Prime Minister Chretien’s then grossly incorrect assumption.
Notwithstanding Jean Chretien’s incompetence
and stupidity, the Canadian Army was heroic, professional, punched well
above
it’s weight, and the PPCLI Battle Group, is credited with “saving
Afghanistan”
during the Panjway campaign of 2006.
What Justin
Trudeau and the Liberals don’t tell you now, is that then Liberal Prime
Minister Jean Chretien committed, and deployed the Canadian army to Canada’s
longest “war” without the advice, consent, support, or vote of the Canadian
Parliament.
What David Amos
and the rest of the ignorant, uneducated, and babbling chattering classes are
too addled to understand is the deployment of less than 75 special operations
troops, and what is known by planners as a “six pac cell” of fighter aircraft
is NOT the same as a deployment of a Battle Group, nor a “war” make.
The Canadian Government
or The Crown unlike our amerkan cousins have the “constitutional authority” to
commit the Canadian nation to war. That has been recently clearly articulated
to the Canadian public by constitutional scholar Phillippe Legasse. What
Parliament can do is remove “confidence” in The Crown’s Government in a “vote
of non-confidence.” That could not happen to the Chretien Government regarding
deployment to Afghanistan, and it won’t happen in this instance with the
conservative majority in The Commons regarding a limited Canadian deployment to
the Middle East.
President George
Bush was quite correct after 911 and the terror attacks in New York; that the
Taliban “occupied” and “failed state” Afghanistan was the source of logistical
support, command and control, and training for the Al Quaeda war of terror against
the world. The initial defeat, and removal from control of Afghanistan was
vital and essential for the security and tranquility of the developed world. An
ISIS “caliphate,” in the Middle East, no matter how small, is a clear and
present danger to the entire world. This “occupied state,” or“failed state”
will prosecute an unending Islamic inspired war of terror against not only the
“western world,” but Arab states “moderate” or not, as well. The security,
safety, and tranquility of Canada and Canadians are just at risk now with the
emergence of an ISIS“caliphate” no matter how large or small, as it was with
the Taliban and Al Quaeda “marriage” in Afghanistan.
One of the
everlasting “legacies” of the “Trudeau the Elder’s dynasty was Canada and
successive Liberal governments cowering behind the amerkan’s nuclear and conventional
military shield, at the same time denigrating, insulting them, opposing them,
and at the same time self-aggrandizing ourselves as “peace keepers,” and
progenitors of “world peace.” Canada failed. The United States of Amerka, NATO,
the G7 and or G20 will no longer permit that sort of sanctimonious behavior
from Canada or its government any longer. And Prime Minister Stephen Harper,
Foreign Minister John Baird , and Cabinet are fully cognizant of that reality.
Even if some editorial boards, and pundits are not.
Justin, Trudeau
“the younger” is reprising the time “honoured” liberal mantra, and tradition of
expecting the amerkans or the rest of the world to do “the heavy lifting.”
Justin Trudeau and his “butt buddy” David Amos are telling Canadians that we
can guarantee our security and safety by expecting other nations to fight for
us. That Canada can and should attempt to guarantee Canadians safety by
providing “humanitarian aid” somewhere, and call a sitting US president a “war criminal.”
This morning Australia announced they too, were sending tactical aircraft to
eliminate the menace of an ISIS “caliphate.”
In one sense Prime
Minister Harper is every bit the scoundrel Trudeau “the elder” and Jean ‘the
crook” Chretien was. Just As Trudeau, and successive Liberal governments
delighted in diminishing, marginalizing, under funding Canadian Forces, and
sending Canadian military men and women to die with inadequate kit and modern equipment;
so too is Prime Minister Stephen Harper. Canada’s F-18s are antiquated, poorly
equipped, and ought to have been replaced five years ago. But alas, there won’t
be single RCAF fighter jock that won’t go, or won’t want to go, to make Canada
safe or safer.
My Grandfather
served this country. My father served this country. My Uncle served this
country. And I have served this country. Justin Trudeau has not served Canada
in any way. Thomas Mulcair has not served this country in any way. Liberals and
so called social democrats haven’t served this country in any way. David Amos,
and other drooling fools have not served this great nation in any way. Yet these
fools are more than prepared to ensure their, our safety to other nations, and
then criticize them for doing so.
Canada must again,
now, “do our bit” to guarantee our own security, and tranquility, but also that
of the world. Canada has never before shirked its responsibility to its citizens
and that of the world.
Prime Minister Harper will not permit this country to do so now

Subject: RE: Re Greg Weston, The CBC , Wikileaks, USSOCOM, Canada and the War
in Iraq (I just called SOCOM and let them know I was still alive
To: david.raymond.amos@gmail.com
I talked to Don Newman earlier this week before the beancounters
David Dodge and Don Drummond now of Queen's gave their spin about Canada's
Health Care system yesterday and Sheila Fraser yapped on and on onCAPAC during her last days in office as if
she were oh so ethical.. To be fair to him I just called Greg Weston
(613-288-6938) I suggested that he should at least Google SOUCOM and David Amos
It would be wise if he check ALL of CBC's sources before he publishes something
else about the DND EH Don Newman? Lets just say that the factthatyour old CBC buddy, Tony Burman is now in charge of Al Jazeera English
never impressed me. The fact that he set up a Canadian office is interesting
though
Anyone can call me back and stress test my integrity after they read
this simple pdf file. BTW what you Blue Sky dudes pubished about
Potash Corp and BHP is truly funny. Perhaps Stevey Boy Harper or Brad Wall will
fill ya in if you are to shy to call mean old me. http://www.scribd.com/doc/2718120/Integrity-Yea-Right
"But Lang, defence minister McCallum's chief of staff, says military
brass were not entirely forthcoming on the issue. For instance, he
says, even McCallum initially didn't know those soldiers were helping
to plan the invasion of Iraq up to the highest levels of command,
including a Canadian general.
That general is Walt Natynczyk, now Canada's chief of defence staff,
who eight months after the invasion became deputy commander of 35,000 U.S.
soldiers and other allied forces in Iraq. Lang says Natynczyk was also part of
the team of mainly senior U.S. military brass that helped prepare for the
invasion from a mobile command in Kuwait."

"I remember years ago when the debate was on in Canada, about there being
weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. Our American 'friends" demanded that
Canada join into "the Coalition of the Willing. American
"veterans" and sportscasters loudly denounced Canada for NOT buying
into the US policy.
At the time I was serving as a planner at NDHQ and with 24 other of my
colleagues we went to Tampa SOUCOM HQ to be involved in the planning in the
planning stages of the op....and to report to NDHQ, that would report to the
PMO upon the merits of the proposed operation. There was never at anytime an
existing target list of verified sites where there were deployed WMD.
Coalition assets were more than sufficient for the initial strike and invasion
phase but even at that point in the planning, we were concerned about the
number of "boots on the ground" for the occupation (and end game)
stage of an operation in Iraq. We were also concerned about the American plans
for occupation plans of Iraq because they at that stage included no contingency
for a handing over of civil authority to a vetted Iraqi government and bureaucracy.
There was no detailed plan for Iraq being "liberated" and returned to
its people...nor a thought to an eventual exit plan. This was contrary to the
lessons of Vietnam but also to current military thought, that folks like Colin
Powell and "Stuffy" Leighton and others elucidated upon. "What's
the mission" how long is the mission, what conditions are to met before US
troop can redeploy?Prime Minister Jean
Chretien and the PMO were even at the very preliminary planning stages wary of
Canadian involvement in an Iraq operation....History would prove them correct.
The political pressure being applied on the PMO from the George W Bush
administration was onerous
American military assets were extremely overstretched, and Canadian military
assets even more so It was proposed by the PMO that Canadian naval platforms
would deploy to assist in naval quarantine operations in the Gulf and that
Canadian army assets would deploy in Afghanistan thus permitting US army assets
to redeploy for an Iraqi operation....The PMO thought that "compromise
would save Canadian lives and liberal political capital.. and the priority of
which ....not necessarily in that order.
"
You can bet that I called these sneaky Yankees again today EH John
Adams? of the CSE within the DND?
84.The Plaintiff states that
the RCMP is well aware that he went to western Canada in 2104 at the invitation
of a fellow Maritimer in order to assist in his attempt to investigate the murders
of many people in Northern BC. The Plaintiff has good reasons to doubt his
fellow Maritimer’s motives. The fact that he did not tell the Plaintiff until
he had arrived in BC that he had invited a Neo Nazi he knew the Plaintiff
strongly disliked to the same protest that he was staging in front of the court
house in Prince George on August 21, 2014. The Plaintiff was looking forward to
meeting Lonnie Landrud so he ignored the Neo Nazi. Several months after their
one and only meeting, Lonnie Landrud contacted the Plaintiff and asked him to
publish a statement of his on the Internet and to forward it to anyone he
wished. The Plaintiff obliged Landrud and did an investigation of his own as
well. He has informed the RCMP of his opinion of their actions and has done
nothing further except monitor the criminal proceedings the Crown has placed
against the Neo Nazi in BC and save his videos and webpages and that of his
associates. The words the Plaintiff stated in public in Prince George BC on
August 21, 2014 were recorded by the Neo Nazi and published on the Internet and
the RCMP knows the Plaintiff stands by every word. For the public record the
Plaintiff truly believes what Lonnie Landrud told him despite the fact that he
does not trust his Neo Nazi associates. Therefore the Plaintiff had no ethical
dilemma whatsoever in publishing the statement Lonnie Landrud mailed to him in
a sincere effort to assist Lonnie Landrud’s pursuit of justice. The Crown is
well aware that Plaintiff’s former lawyer, Barry Bachrach once had a leader of
the American Indian Movement for a client and that is why he ran against the
former Minister of Indian Affairs for his seat in the 39th Parliament.
85.The Plaintiff states that
while he was out west he visited Edmonton AB several times and met many people.
He visited the home of Barry Winters and all his favourite haunts in the hope
of meeting in person the evil person who had been sexually harassing and threatening
to kill him and his children for many years. The Crown cannot deny that Winters
invited him many times. On June 13, 2015 Barry Winters admitted the EPS warned
him the Plaintiff was looking for him.
86.The Plaintiff states that on
December 15th, 2014 the Crown in Alberta contacted him byway
of an email account he seldom uses since his last communications with the Sergeant-at-Arms
and Robin Reid. The Sergeant-at-Arms
wanted to know about a contact he had that day with the constituency office of
a recently appointed Cabinet Minister. All the other statements in this
complaint should prove that the Plaintiff knew why a political lawyer from NB was
ignoring a new constituent’s contacts all summer after answering a message in
Twitter promising to meet with him. It was obvious to the Plaintiff that as
soon as the lawyer was a Cabinet Minister he was attempting to use his
influence to intimidate the Plaintiff byway of the Sergeant-at-Arms like his political
associates in NB did in 2004.
87.The
Plaintiff states that before
he had a chance to respond to the email from the Sergeant-at-Arms of
Alberta, three members of the RCMP members in plain clothes were pounding on the basement
entrance of a condo at 1:30 AM. They did not identify themselves as being the
police as they attempted to harass the Plaintiff on private property in the
middle of the night without a warrant. The Plaintiff was twice the age of the
oldest one and considered them to be tough talking kids who were trying to
enter a home in the middle of the night so as he closed the door he told them
he was calling the cops. They hollered on the other side of the door that they
were the cops as the Plaintiff called their headquarters and was immediately
patched through to them. The Plaintiff refused their request when RCMP tried to
con him into coming outside in freezing temperatures in the middle of the night
so they could supposedly speak with him instead of saying what they needed to
say over the telephone. If what the RCMP was saying was remotely true then they
should have identified themselves and asked for him instead of someone else when
he answered the door. The Plaintiff’s response to the RCMP’s trickery was that
it was best that they communicate in writing and that he would be contacting
their lawyers in the morning. The Crown received its very justifiable responses
and the law was not upheld. The Plaintiff was ignored as the RCMP continued to
harass his family deep into the New Year as he headed for the BC coast then
back to the Maritimes to run for public office again.
88.The Plaintiff states that in
regards to this complaint the actions and inactions of the Sergeant-at-Arms
and the RCMP in
Alberta affirmed to the Plaintiff that he is still barred under threat of
arrest from all parliamentary properties in Canada because they did not deny
it. The RCMP does not have the integrity to talk to or email him about anything
because they know he tries to record everything just like they do. Instead of
acting ethically the standard operating procedure of the RCMP since 2004 is to
intimidate his friends and family in a malicious effort to impeach his
character and separate them. That is the reason the Plaintiff stays away from
most people most of the time. The actions of the RCMP towards the Plaintiff and
many others and his experiences in the USA served to convince him that the
Crown acts just like corrupt Americans. In order to cover up wrongs it would
prefer to injure and imprison ethical citizens in mental wards rather than
uphold the law or argue them publicly in a court of law. In 2002 the Plaintiff
explained why he would seek public office in Canada to American lawyers he was
suing within statements of a lawsuit about legal malpractice. Now he is doing
the same to Canadian lawyers in the employ of the government whose wages are
once again being paid by his fellow taxpayer. As the Plaintiff prepares to deal
with a predicable motion to dismiss and a motion for a publication ban to delay
and conceal this matter before polling day perhaps the lawyers working for the
Crown should study the Plaintiff’s work found within documents in the Governor
General’s office. Trust that he will look forward to talking to the first
lawyer to answer this complaint because it has been years since he could get any
lawyer in Canada to discuss anything with him. There is no ethical dilemma to
be found in this statement, the Crown counsels should just do their job
according to the law of the land, seek the documents in the possession of the
lawyer who is the Governor General of Canada and let the political cards fall
where they may. In closing the Plaintiff must remind the Crown that two members
of the Canadian Forces acting as security for the Highland Games held on the
grounds of the Lieutenant Governor’s residence in NB approached the Chief of
the Amos Clan claiming that an unnamed party found him “overbearing”. He gave them a copy of the Governors General’s letter
and freely left the parliamentary property.
