Subject: Freedom Update: Emergencies Act Battle Heads to Top Court

Carney Doubles Down on Trudeau's Emergencies Act Fight

Well folks... there you have it. The Carney government is indeed pushing ahead with its attempt to justify the twice-ruled-unlawful use of the Emergencies Act in 2022. On Tuesday, at the last possible minute, the federal government announced it will seek leave to appeal to the Supreme Court of Canada in response to the January ruling which found the Trudeau government violated Canadians' Charter rights and failed to meet the Emergency Act's deliberately high legal threshold in its suppression of the Freedom Convoy protest. Despite clear rulings that existing laws were sufficient to deal with blockades, and that extraordinary powers, including freezing bank accounts without court orders, were unjustified, the government is pressing on. While this is disappointing from this "new government", it's not surprising. Nevertheless, we at the CCF are ready to fight.

New eBook Sets the Stage for Upcoming Notwithstanding Clause Showdown

In other Supreme Court news, one of the most important Constitutional battles in a generation is heading to Canada's top court next week, and a new eBook from the Canadian Constitution Foundation just launched to help Canadians prepare to follow along. Section 33 on Trial, available for download at no cost for a limited time, outlines the high-profile challenge to Quebec's 2019 secularism law, Bill 21, which prohibits civil servants such as judges, police officers, and teachers from wearing religious symbols like turbans, kippahs, crosses or hijabs at work. The case will force the Supreme Court to confront fundamental questions about what kind of limits exist on section 33 (the notwithstanding clause), and who has the final say: judges or elected lawmakers. Download your free copy of the eBook here, or watch CCF Executive Director Christine Van Geyn's video above to get up to speed before the hearing, March 23-26.

Nova Scotia's Ban on Walking in the Woods Heard This Week

CCF Litigation Director Josh Dehaas was in Halifax this week for the three-day hearing challenging the Nova Scotia government's sweeping ban on walking in the woods last summer, a measure that exposed ordinary people to eye-popping fines and possible jail time. The CCF argued before Justice Jamie Campbell that the August 5, 2025 Proclamation issued by Natural Resources Minister Tory Rushton banning entry to the province's forests exceeded his legal authority, was overly broad, and failed to properly consider the Charter rights at stake. Also present in court was Mr. Jeff Evely, a Canadian Armed Forces veteran who some of you will remember was fined $28,872.50 for his walk in the woods in August. You can read Josh's minute-by-minute updates from the courtroom here (Day 1), here (Day 2) and here (Day 3), or listen to Not Reserving Judgment this week for an extensive summary.

Let's Talk Alberta Independence

Who could have guessed that 2024 would be the year that the long-awaited political winds of change would finally blow into Canada? Having sued governments over lockdowns, vaccine mandates, and for the God-given freedoms of Canadians for four years, their arrival means I can finally exhale.

In 2021 I opposed unscientific church closures before a Manitoba court in the Gateway Bible case, pleading to protect the constitutional right to worship, to gather outdoors and in homes.

One of our key experts in the case, Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, world-renowned epidemiologist and eminent Stanford professor of medicine and health economics, wrote two expert reports which slashed the validity of the province’s public health response. He criticized the lockdown approach as harmful and instead recommended “focused protection” of the elderly and immunocompromised.

This approach was set out in “The Great Barrington Declaration” which he co-authored, and at the time it was supported by over 30,000 medical practitioners and more than 10,000 medical and public health scientists.

Unfortunately, the court deferred to the government’s lockdown approach. It found that Dr. Bhattacharya’s preferred approaches to the public health crisis “are opinions and prescriptions that fall outside the mainstream consensus,” despite the devastating effects that the lockdowns had on Manitobans and the rest of the world where they were similarly employed.

Collective prayer was apparently too dangerous, while:

movies full of actors continued to be filmed indoors in Manitoba;

people gathered indoors at Costco and in university classes;

and the Winnipeg Jets were permitted to practise and play.

A similar constitutional legal challenge was heard and dismissed in Alberta (but was successful on non-constitutional grounds).

In the Ingram case, the court accused Dr. Bhattacharya of giving evidence to advance a “personal agenda.” Dr. Bhattacharya was, by that time, no stranger to public censure, having been investigated and silenced by his own university, censored by the US government, and labelled a “fringe epidemiologist” by Francis Collins, then director of the National Institutes of Health, for co-authoring The Great Barrington Declaration.

Fast forward to today, and Dr. Bhattacharya has been nominated to lead the most powerful public health research agency in the United States. That’s right, that brilliant academic superstar who followed the science, asked the right questions, and who refused to be bullied into silence, is about to serve as Director of the U.S. National Institute of Health.

Courage has its rewards after all.

Hearing that news, alone, alleviated some of the agonizing disbelief I experienced while witnessing at ringside, the disastrous public health policies being enforced since 2020.

Sanity appeared restored because this is a man, I can personally attest, who is trustworthy and full of integrity. His attention to detail, critical thinking, and scientific and medical research inspires confidence, to say the least.

Should another pandemic arise, I have full faith in his ability to navigate through it without causing devastating societal harms. His guidance as head of the NIH should affect how our federal and provincial leaders respond to a future public health crisis.

My relief didn’t end with Dr. Bhattcharya’s nomination. With Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s appointment to the position of Secretary of Health and Human Services, and his commitment to Make America Healthy Again, a spotlight is about to be shone upon the food and pharmaceutical industries.

“Now wait just a minute,” you may say, “Kennedy is an ‘anti-vaxxer’ which immediately discredits him and you for even uttering his name.”

Actually, if you take the time to listen to his message, he sounds pretty sensible. He advocates for safe pharmaceuticals and for food made without toxic chemicals. That sounds pretty logical, and maybe even — dare I say — a good thing?

If you watch his interviews, you might just notice that he is a walking encyclopedia of facts and scientific studies on these topics, and appears to care deeply about the health of the American people. What’s wrong with looking under the cover of these industries to see if they are indeed, producing high quality products that are safe for people?

The process of science, of course, is asking questions, not insisting that the answers are already known.

Since our relationship with the U.S. is so close, such a high profile look at these giant industries will have enormous benefit to Canada. If Kennedy discovers real problems, it ought to put pressure on our Canadian health and food agencies to take a closer and more public look at these industries too.

Canadians were fired from their jobs, kicked out of colleges and universities, banned from flying, gyms, and restaurants and publicly vilified by Prime Minister Trudeau for refusing to take novel mRNA Covid vaccines. Given that the mRNA platform is increasingly used in treatments and vaccines, it is clearly in the public interest to critically examine its safety profile. It is time to bring public confidence back to our health institutions.

I have led a legal battle for the past three years against the federal government on behalf of clients including Peoples’ Party of Canada leader Maxime Bernier and former Premier of Newfoundland Brian Peckford, who were prohibited from flying across the country or overseas because they chose not to take the COVID-19 vaccine.

We argued that this travel mandate was tyrannical, just like the use of police horses against peaceful protesters, and the orders to freeze bank accounts of Canadians who participated in or donated to the freedom convoy.

But change is afoot at the federal level here in Canada too. The winds of change that blew in from the U.S. in November blew straight into Ottawa like a hurricane. Mere days after President-Elect Donald Trump threatened steep tariffs on Canadian goods, our Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland resigned, and our Prime Minister remains for now as the captain of a sinking ship.

As I reflect on the events of 2024, I am no longer holding my breath. Some may argue that elections don’t actually result in real change, but I am hopeful.

I look forward to real leadership and new direction in public health from Bhattacharya and RFK Jr., and the pressure their reforms will put upon our health institutions here at home. I watch with curiosity and anticipation as the winds of change hopefully ensure that the dark era of freedom-trampling’s next breath is its last.

I’m in Halifax this week where the @CDNConstFound is arguing that Nova Scotia’s extreme provincewide ban on being in the woods last summer was unreasonable and unconstitutional. Follow along here for updates from court 👇🏻

Court has begun. Nasha Nijhawan and Sheree Conlon are arguing today for the CCF. We’re first. We have public interest standing to bring this case on behalf of Nova Scotians. Also arguing are lawyers for Jeff Everley, a vet who couldn’t hike for his mental health during the ban.

CCF will make three arguments today. First argument: Minister was ultra vires (offside) the Forests Act. Second: section 7 liberty or security of person was breached because it’s a regulatory offence with jail time, vague & overbroad. Third, Minister didn’t even consider Charter.

CCF is now going through the Forests Act. It’s purpose includes preventing & mitigating wildfires. It notes fire season is Mar 15 to Oct 15. So minister can only regulate using the act during that period. Oct 15 was the same date chosen for the end of the proclamation.

Record shows two decision requests were made at the same time: one under s 24 which allows for a total ban on fires. Minister has a power to control the riskiest human activity: starting fires. This is important because the language in s 24 is different from s 25.

Section 25 speaks to… a restricted travel zone in any area of woods, where necessary for prevention of fires. That’s reproduced in a 25. But what’s missing is that it says it does not apply to owners, occupiers of woods. So minister does not have the power to ban their travel.

Section 27 says no one may drop any cigarette, ash, etc or fail to extinguish those things. It’s important because the minister is making a decision under 25 that it’s necessary for protection of woods to ban fire despite provisions against open fires and dropping cigarettes etc.

So to be “necessary” to exercise the s 25 powers, those measures must have failed. Now CCF explains what counts as “woods.” Act says it includes bog, muskeg, rock barren land, land where there used to be forest. Forest defined as plant association consisting primarily of trees.

Importantly, “forests” does not mean the same things as “woods.” This will matter for our argument later on. Now we point to the out-of-court settlement amount of $28,872.50 for breach. If one doesn’t pay that, it may mean jail or up to $500,000. A very serious risk to liberty.

CCF now points to a NS document from 2016 which shows 76% of the province is forests. 7.8% is naturally non-forested that may be bog, marsh, rock-barren, etc, and therefore woods. The rest is island water, wetlands, agriculture, urban etc. So up to 90% of province may be “woods.”

What’s more, about 60% is privately owned. So when we’re talking about a total ban on travelling to woods, we’re talking about mostly regulating private land and most of the land in the province. This matters. The evidence on fire risk shows that it ranged from high to extreme.

The CCF does not contest that the minister had a responsibility to mitigate fire risk. Final part of the record to walk through is the affidavit of James Rudderham. Much of this was not before the minister. Still, it’s the only evidence in the record of the causes of fires.

It contains NO information about the risk of humans causing fires without lighting fires: smoking, lighting camping fires etc. There is no evidence here that human presence can be used as a proxy for fires.

The protocol for responding to fires includes three options: open fire ban, travel to woods advisory and a woods closure to travel. These are stages. One is to follow the other. Travel advisory is minimum five days after open fire ban. Travel ban is five days minimum after that.

CCF points out that while this protocol is referred to in the open fire ban decision request, it was not even referred to in the travel ban decision request. CCF is making clear how thin the record of the minister’s decision was. It’s only 9 documents.

The s 24 decision request provides two options: use power to ban all open fires including industrial or continue with daily burn restrictions already being used for domestic burning. It discusses the pros and cons of each option. The former is recommended and minister agrees.

The s 25 decision request for a travel ban appears to be from the same day, July 30, despite the protocol suggesting 5 days in between each step. Importantly, the minister didn’t consider not imposing a ban. He’s only asked whether to ban travel with permits or without permits.

He therefore did not consider whether it was necessary to ban travel to the woods. No evidence here that he considered rights. The Charter is not even mentioned. Despite restricting access to 90% of NS. This is likely a fatal flaw in the decision.

CCF also points out the memo makes no distinction between area, activities, property ownership. No explanation of what the woods are. No indication of what activities would be banned. The decision was made July 30, but they deferred announcement to August 5 for staff convenience.

Here’s how DNR interpreted the ban in news releases. Campgrounds open. Forestry, mining etc restricted but permits available. No mention of permits for other activities. You can go to beaches and parks but not on trail systems. Cannot host others on your own wooded properties.

CCF is now getting into the vires argument. The Minister did not reasonably interpret his power under the Forests Act. In Auer, the SCC explained how to apply reasonableness when considering subordinate legislation like the minister’s proclamation.

The question is whether the proclamation falls within a reasonable interpretation of the statute. Judge asks if this means while he doesn’t necessarily agree with how s 25 was interpreted, it may still be reasonable? CCF says yes.

CCF argues that while minister can ban open fires provincewide under s 24, he made an error in how be interpreted s 25. S 24 says, the minister may whenever necessary for protection of woods, prohibit fires in any part or parts of the province. S 25 says restricted travel ZONE.

S 25 allows creation of travel ZONES where entry is banned. Judge asks “even if the zone is the whole thing?” We say NO, it has to be in any *area* of woods. You can’t designate whole province. Thats ultra vires. If he designated a geographical area of woods, that’s onside.

This misapplication created a vagueness and over-breadth problem. If the legislature wanted to bar entry to whole province, they would have used the same language in s 25 as they did in s 24. Instead, they chose the word “zone.” The proclamation does not designate a travel zone.

Judge asks, if you just walk into a stand of trees, that is outlawed? Yes, we say. Or bog or rock-barren land. And it’s not reasonable to say this was necessary. Instead of designating a zone, as required, they say don’t go into nature because you can’t be trusted.

Now on to section 7. We say s 7 is engaged because violation carries potential for imprisonment. And therefore it must comply with principles of fundamental justice: it cannot be vague, arbitrary, over-broad or grossly disproportionate. CCF argues vagueness and over-breadth.

We’re not saying here that this is like Carter, Bedford or Ndovolu, which are about an individual’s life, liberty or security of the person right. We’re talking about cases where s 7 is engaged because of threat or imprisonment: Vaillancourt, Reference re BC Motor Vehicles etc.

Put simply, the government may only threaten imprisonment if it does so in a way that comports with the principles of fundamental justice. First, vagueness: laws must be knowable and understandable by the public, you must be able to have a legal debate & judicial interpretation.

This is a low standard. Judge asks whether he needs an actual charge with facts to determine whether it’s vague or not. CCF says no. The question is whether or not it’s possible to interpret the provision. Can we look at the proclamation and know what conduct is prohibited?

We say no. You can’t look at it and tell what constitutes entry into the woods. Had the minister said these are the zones where you can’t enter, that wouldn’t be vague. He just said woods and a person could know when they’re in the zone of risk.

Judge asks whether they should provide metes and bounds? We say they should have given a defined area. We don’t know where we can go. Woods is too broad for us to know where we can go. The rank confusion during enforcement supports this. There was no real limit on discretion.

DNR interprets this to include railroads, crown land leased irrespective of character, forest access roads — no guests on your private property if it has woods. You go down a driveway to a clearing with a house. How are you supposed to know what you can do on your property?

If there are three trees in my backyard, can kids play under them? Have they entered woods? It’s vague. It’s also over-broad, which is to say too sweeping in relation to the objective. The evidence shows no one knew what this meant and the DNR just made it up as they went along.

In Appolunappa, the chief justice explained that laws are overbroad and interfere with some conduct that bears no relation to its object. It’s rational in some cases but not all. Laws cannot overreach even for one individual. The purpose here is to prevent fires.

If the proclamation includes activities that don’t cause fires, then it’s overbroad. It bans just walking one’s dog. Judge asks: but can’t you just say that there’s a risk that anybody who goes in the woods might just smoke anyway, so isn’t that a legitimate political decision?

CCF’s answer to that is Ndhlovu, where the SCC explained at para 104 onward that enforcement practicality is generally not addressed at S 7. You can’t say yes, individual’s rights are breached for administrative convenience. This was rejected in Bedford.

CCF reminds the court that there’s no evidence that humans are a proxy for fire risk. This was overbroad because the government could have done a multitude of evidence-based restrictions like banning ATVs or open fires.

There was no connection between the objective and the prohibition of activities like dog-walking with nothing that could cause a spark. Or having guests on a wooded lot for a picnic. Or hiking at Polly’s Cove which is rock-barren. This shows the over-breadth.

We're moving on to question of whether the minister proportionately balanced the objective with the Charter rights at issue, known as Dore analysis. This is similar to reasonable limits analysis done of laws under Oakes. The important case here is Conseil scolaire francophone.

This was a decision by a minister about denial by the minister of admission into a French-school, based on language rights. This matters because there was no rights infringement, but the SCC said if there's a Charter value effected by a decision, the government must consider it.

Here the judge asks: so if they just got lucky that there was no infringement, they still didn't act reasonably if they didn't consider the value? The CCF says yes. Charter values underlie rights, according to SCC. Decisionmakers must consider them when applying their discretion.

Conseil Scolaire is clear that a failure to consider Charter values renders a decision unreasonable. This is about both process and outcome. Judge says: sounds like it's more about the process than the outcome. CCF says it's a bit more nuanced.

CCF argues that when values are engaged, the minister must show he understood the impact on the values and took them into account. We argue he did not.

The rights engaged are liberty (section 7), the right to free movement is a Charter value protected by section 6 mobility, and finally section 35 Aboriginal and treaty rights. Once a court determines that values are engaged, they must go on to do their proportionate balancing.

We say the minister didn't turn his mind to any Charter values or Charter rights. The focus must be on the decision actually made: including both reasoning process and the outcome. To be reasonable, a decision MUST reflect that fact in their decision.

Not only that, they must MEANINGFULLY address the impact on the group whose rights are impacted. The minister must turn his/her mind to whether there were less rights-infringing measures available while still achieving his objective. That's what we mean by balancing.

We've already discussed why section 7 (liberty) is not only engaged but infringed. Now, we're talking about the right to free movement, which was reiterated just last month in the Taylor case, where the CCF argued there is a right to movement simpliciter (the SCC agreed).

CCF reiterates that if the Minister didn't consider the Charter value of free movement, the decision cannot be reasonable. The Minister maintains TO THIS DAY that there is no right to free movement. Taylor is unequivocal that there is.

From Taylor, para 1: "Mobility rights sit at the heart of what it means to be a free person. The ability to move freely throughout one’s country, without restriction or need for government authorization, often differentiates a liberal democracy from an authoritarian dictatorship"

Judge asks whether they're just talking about interprovincial mobility. They were not. The SCC says this very clearly at para 64. We have a "right to travel freely within Canada for any purpose, including within and across provincial borders." This goes back to the Magna Carta.

The SCC states: "Government actions that limit the ability of Canadians to move freely within Canada, except in a fleeting or trivial fashion, or make such movement contingent on state authorization infringe s. 6(1) of the Charter."

The SCC notes that limits can be justified, but "given the fundamental importance of free movement within Canada, the onus is firmly on the state under s. 1 of the Charter to justify them." Recall, NS didn't consider freedom of movement. Their position is no such right exists!

Final right that ought to have been considered was Aboriginal and treaty rights (s. 35). The Mi'kmak people have well-known hunting and fishing rights, and there's no dispute the woods-ban impacted those rights -- and so they ought to have been considered. Minister did not.

I'm in court in Halifax for day two of the @CDNConstFound judicial review of Nova Scotia's extreme provincewide ban on traveling to the 'woods'

Read what happened on day one here:

On day two, we're hearing from lawyers for Jeff Evely. Follow along 👇👇

Thread by @JoshDehaas on Thread Reader App @JoshDehaas: I’m in Halifax this week where the @CDNConstFound is arguing that Nova Scotia’s extreme provincewide ban on being in the woods last summer was unreasonable and unconstitutional. Follow al… https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/2033883582553292911.html

Evely's lawyer Marty Moore (I'll just say Evely) starts by pointing out there is no evidence that walking in forests causes fire. He reiterates that it is irrational for government to ban one activity (hiking) while allowing another that causes fires (forestry).

Judge asks: don't they have the ability to choose that it's more important to choose commercial activity? Evely argues there is no rational chain of analysis here. Evely says the idea of viewing human presence as something that needed to be prohibited is arbitrary.

NS's brief says in their brief that the more humans in the woods, the more fire. Evely says there is a logical leap here from being in the woods to human-caused fires. Evely's evidence is that people in the woods actually REPORT fires. That's what the evidence shows, he says.

Judge asks: "If there are no humans in the woods, there will be no human-caused fires in the woods. That a fair statement? As a factual thing?" Evely says YES. But, if you make a rule that you're not allowed to light fires or cigarettes in woods, people will report rule-breakers.

Evely points to a case where a mother wanted a father who drove drunk to be banned from driving with child. But the judge found there it was illogical to ban him from driving with the child. That was arbitrary.

Judge asks: but some people may say they can drive perfectly safely at 0.08 blood alcohol level. On this reasoning, can't you say that's arbitrary if some are not drunk at that level? Evely does not appear to have a clear answer for this.

Evely reiterates there is no rational chain of analysis from the necessity to fight the fire to the scope of the order. Evely adds that while purpose of Forest Act is to prevent fire, it is also maintaining or enhancing "recreational opportunities..." which was not considered.

Now Allison Pejovic is on for Evely, quotes from Taylor about our "political tradition that does not curtail movement, impose curfews, or require people to carry identity papers in public. Freedom of movement also supports national unity within the diverse Canadian federation."

Evely echoes CCF's argument that free movement is a Charter value that was not considered. She warns of creep toward an authoritarian dictatorship, where Canadians cannot seek solitude in the forests during summer or enjoy hikes with their kids.

Evely aruges his section 7 rights were violated because he has PTSD. S. 7 is the right not to be deprived of life, liberty or security of the person, except in accordance with the principles of fundamental justice (eg: rules against overbreadth and gross disproportionality).

Evely is quoting the Heywood decision, where an arbitrary application of a sex offender registry violated liberty in the sense of freedom of movement and because of the threat of imprisonment. By contrast, the class whose liberty was affected by the ban is upwards of 1M people.

Evely repeats CCF's arguments from Taylor, reminding judge that section 6 includes "a right of movement simpliciter — that is, a right to travel freely within Canada for any purpose, including within and across provincial borders." The CCF made this argument in Taylor at the SCC.

Evely points out that he regularly walks for hours for his mental health in the forest and this was banned by the government. This led to a $28+ fine, which he got specifically so he could ensure he has standing to challenge the restrictions. The CCF has public interest standing.

Evely points out that, like Heywood, this was arbitrary because some people were allowed to keep their freedom of movement in NS: those lucky few who were able to get permits.

Evely argues this was also a violation of liberty in that it interfered with a fundamental life choice. This is based on a Manitoba CA. This is a rarely successful doctrine. But Evely argues he structured his life to be able to hike in the woods; he moved to be able to hike.

Evely has seen horrible things in combat. He has fits of rage, depression and thoughts of self-harm. He structured his life to be able to address his mental health by going into the forests and hiking. That is a serious liberty infringement.

Evely cites Parker, a case where blocking access to medical marijuana for mental health was found to interfere with a liberty interest. If that is a liberty infringement, how can Evely's hiking for mental health not be? It's a fundamental personal life choice.

Evely argues there is no evidence that he is a threat to the woods. He does not bring any flammable material: just himself, his phone, his clothing, his dog. No glass bottles (which NS says can start fires) or lighters. NS suggested tripping can be a fire threat. Unclear how.

Evely reiterates the minister didn't consider Charter rights or values. NS had cited that the government sometimes needs to balance social objectives. Evely says that's appropriate to consider only under section 1. Bedford made that clear at para 125.

Judge asks: Wouldn't the minister engage in a sort of section 1 analysis when he gets the decision request? At least the competing interests: social objectives and Charter values etc? Evely says yes but curtailing liberty is an individual right; can't violate fundamental justice.

NS suggested Evely could have walked on roadsides. But Evely needs to go deep into the forest to get relief from PTSD. No noise. No urban environment. Smells of nature. He shouldn't be forced to walk alongside semi-trucks and cars on a highway amidst exhaust. That's not relief.

Now Evely is arguing security of the person was violated. The key case is New Brunswick v G(J), where SCC said it's restricted through serious psychological stress (not ordinary anxieties).

Another key case is Rodriguez (assisted death case), which says security of person can be violated by criminal prohibitions that interfere with psychological integrity. Parker, medical marijuana case, says depriving medication interferes with physical and psychological integrity.

Finally, she cites Chaoulli, where pain-inducing waitlists for surgery were found to be violations of security of person. Bedford says there must be a sufficient causal connection between state action or law and effect. It's on a BOP. Need not be the only cause.

Evely addresses NS's claim that they need expert evidence to prove Evely has PTDS. In NB v G(J), security of person was engaged for parents faced with threat of being separated from their children. There was no expert evidence suggesting they were diagnosed with a mental illness.

Evely notes that in Cambie Surgeries (the CCF's challenge to arbitrary waiting lists), the B.C. Superior Court also quoted caselaw that makes clear expert evidence is not required. The B.C. Court of Appeal did not interfere with this finding. Judge does not need an expert here.

Evely notes expert evidence was required in Parker, the medical marijuana case, but it's common sense that a doctor would be needed to know if that genuinely relieves epilepsy. Here, we have Evely's evidence that the effects of nature improve his mental health. That's reasonable.

Evely's evidence is that hiking in the woods keeps suicidal thoughts to a minimum: "Noise from traffic and social engagement promotes anxiety... but nature's sounds... crunch of path... no city noise... guided medications in forest is effective for my symptoms," he said.

Evely says: "During travel ban, symptoms became severe... slept 4-6 hours... felt worse than I did at the time of my release from the military... when I go into the forest for a few hours a day, I don't have those thoughts." Pejovic: "you either believe him or you don't, my lord"

The courtroom has gotten very quiet under the weight of Evely's argument here. This is a very good reminder of the serious impacts that the travel ban had on many people. It reminds us of COVID, where lockdowns impacted some people very badly, while others were fine.

Evely: 60 days or more of waking up with suicidal thoughts and not being able to sleep is not trivial. NS's claim that just two months was not that bad is wrong. Two months of suicidal thoughts are serious psychological harm.

Now onto the principles of fundamental justice. Section 7 is two steps: even if life, liberty or security of the person are engaged, they can be limited if they accord with the principles of fundamental justice.

The first is arbitrariness: it's arbitrary in Evely's case because thousands of people were allowed to continue accessing the forest with permits. Judge pushes back about whether we know it's thousands. Even if it's hundreds, the point is the same.

Evely is pointing out that NS said it's just too dangerous to have industrial operations occur during the day, and that they must have fire-watches for two hours afterward. McIssac, firefighting expert, says risks from commercial activities can be reduced but not eliminated.

Evely is walking through the evidence on causes of fires. Many of them are from commercial industries, including blueberry farming, power operations, hot exhaust, failure to obtain industrial permits, mechanical permits. But nowhere does it say walking in the woods causes fires.

Evely points out that even open flame was allowed for industry, for community events and ceremonial fires. But Evely was blocked from walking through the forest. This is evidence of arbitrariness. They block hiking but allow open flames. The law undermines its own objectives.

Evely points out that McIsaac's evidence is that the province got rid of fire towers in 2013 because people with cellphones can report fires. Evely argues this is arbitrary. Evely returns to judge's questions: if everyone is banned, wouldn't that stop fires? Evely is saying NO.

That's not actually true. This is because lightning causes fires and trees falling on power lines causes fires -- and HUMANS are the ones who spot and report these. So it's not reasonable to assume that keeping all people out of the woods will reduce the risk from fires.

Evely quotes Ndhvolu: "If risk is all it takes to make a measure depriving individuals from their liberty compliant with s. 7, the law on overbreadth would be deprived of its normative value." This applies here too. You can't just say there's risk so it's not overbroad.

Evely is moving on to gross disproportionality. Two months of daily suicidal ideation and lost sleep is grossly disproportionate to the benefit in his case. Add in the $28K+ fine and it's even more apparent. Plus, risk of imprisonment. Impacts on HIM are outside societal norms.

Now, Evely is addressing whether travel permits is an acceptable safety valve for the Charter impacts. Evely says no. Only commercial fires and ceremonial fires were granted permits. This is illusory: there was no permit available for people such as Evely.

Finally, Evely is addressing section 1, the reasonable limits clause. It's difficult to cure a section 7 breach under s. 1 because it already considers principles of fundamental justice. Possible in "exceptional conditions such as war, natural disasters or epidemics."

In the event the court considers section 1, Evely points out that this is not a minimally impairing restriction on rights. CCF had offered several. Evely says they could have foot patrols to ensure people are respecting a fire ban, rather than banning travel for all but industry.

Judge says it's difficult to speculate on this question without experts. We don't know how many people you'd need, how many fire towers you'd need, how you'd house the patrol. We're talking as if we know, but people at DNR might say that idea isn't going to work as you expect.

Evely says she's not an expert, but if we get to s. 1, it's clear this was not proportional. They can get to meet their objective with a fire ban and limits on industries that actual cause fires while respecting liberties, freedom of movement, but can't justify this blanket ban.

Now, we're moving on to NS's argument. NS argues that this is a reasonableness review, and the onus to establish unreasonableness was on the applicants. NS says Minister's ability to explain his decision is constrained (not sure what he means).

NS will address the POFJs and then follow up with administrative law arguments, and Dore analysis (proportionate balancing of Charter values/rights and the government's objective).

NS's counsel says, can someone disregard a stop sign because it infringes liberty? Can they enter a minefield if they have a metal detector? Does it mean Evely go into judges chambers? Does that rule need to accord with fundamental justice? There must be a way to draw a line.

NS says we think the liberty interest expressed is one of "unbridled freedom." Judge says: Taylor says in fairly clear terms that there is a right of mobility. How can you deal with that? NS says that's a hard point to deal with. They don't grapple with the prior SCC decisions.

Judge responds: Well, isn't it that they didn't say it before but now they do say it? NS repeats the CCF & Evely didn't deal with it, and if it's as broad as they say it is, everything including going through stop signs, is freedom of movement and must be justified as a POFJ.

NS says this is not arbitrary. There is a connection between the purpose and the means. Imposing the travel restriction was connected to that purpose. That's established by common sense, reason and logic.

NS says overbreadth is all about the connection between purpose and effect, and under the individualistic approach of Bedford, if there's an adverse effect on one person with no connection, such as Evely the law is overbroad.

NS reiterates no overbreadth is possible because the effect on Mr. Evely was because restricting his use of the woods was in line by reducing the risk of wildfires. There was a connection. I don't understand what he's saying or N.S.'s lawyer doesn't understand overbreadth at all.

Judge gives the example of having a guest at a rural property. How is that connected to the objective? NS's counsel says the vast majority of fires are caused by people in the woods, and if we keep people out of the woods, the risk goes down. (Don't see an answer here).

NS is arguing that "overbreadth" in s 7 is the same as a finding of "no rational connection," in s 1, and the government isn't required to provide empirical evidence that their means are connected to their objective. (True, but he's still not addressed how this is not overbroad.)

NS says we can't prove any individual will at any time in the future cause a fire but the difficulty of predicting human behaviour is one of the principle difficulties whenever there is a safety or environmental protection provision.

NS says that we are wrong that human presence does not cause fires. NS says the absence of a connection can't be based on a person's subjective opinion that his presence would not cause a risk.

NS quotes Malmo-Levine, where the SCC said "it would be inconsistent with the rule of law to allow compliance with a criminal prohibition to be determined by each individual’s personal discretion and taste." This may be offensive considering Evely's PTSD isn't a matter of taste.

Judge asks about the drunk driving hypothetical. More people drive drunk on Friday night, so can you ban driving for all on Friday night because it's dangerous? NS says this was just "stay out of the woods" for a "temporary period of time" and it's a policy decision, not legal.

NS says, what if Evely tripped and fell and his phone fell out of his pocket and hit a rock and sparked a fire? He says "the game is not worth the candle." I'm not sure what that means. NS says Evely's activities "could be put off" for weeks. That is not what the evidence shows.

NS responds to Evely's suggestion that they could put more boots on the ground. That kind of interference is less respectful of liberty than a bright-line rule. People would want to search people to determine if they're a danger to forests. That's a more intrusive infringement.

NS says the way the minister chose to deal with its objective is to choose a bright-line rule. NS suggests that a burn ban was not effective: there were 76 reports of illegal fires during the burn ban. Something else was required. A travel advisory was not enough based on risk.

NS says minister didn't cause Evely's PTSD. That was pre-existing. Carter was a case where there was "no way out" but assisted dying. Parker had severe epilepsy with no way out, and a doctor agreed it was medically required. NS argues Evely has no evidence he needs forest hikes.

NS says that the restrictions were also not grossly disproportionate vis-a-vis Evely. He could have gone to the beach or to a rural highway, and the travel restrictions might have saved him from a fire that could have harmed him.

NS says there was an opportunity for Evely to seek a travel permit. NS says the minister couldn't have known about Mr. Evely's situation if he did not apply for a permit. Permits were granted to close a cottage, for taking water from a brook to home well. Why didn't he apply?

NS says none of them were granted for PTSD, but Evely could have tried to make his case at DNR. Instead he insisted on getting a ticket. The ability to get a travel permit was not foreclosed. At least he could have tried. That "takes the sting out of any gross disproportionality"

NS now addressing vagueness. Even a precisely drafted law can give rise to uncertainty. If they can provide a basis for judicial debate they cannot be vague. Judge asks: so it's not whether a member of the public can grasp it? NS says that's the thrust of the cases yes.

Judge asks: what's a basis for legal debate? NS says it means we can have a debate over the words of a particular statute and it's not so amorphous that the judge would have no signposts at all. Here you can debate: was this woods or was it not?

NS says it's not mysterious. Judge says it is kind of mysterious. Act seems to suggest the rocks at Peggy's Cove are the woods, and I don't think of that as the woods. NS says we don't think either that would be woods. (?) Judge asks, then what's a rock barren?

NS says rock-barren is in a clearing in a forest, and not on the shore. Judge pushes NS again. NS warns against putting too much weight on a phrase in the definition because we're looking at this globally and don't want to piecemeal out areas to say it's not forest or woods.

NS that if you could argue that dry marsh is not woods, that would make it too difficult to draw a line around each circumstance, so it's better to draw a bright-line than to try to slice-and-dice various definitions.

Judge says: the problem I have is that you're calling it a bright-line rule. It's a fuzzy rule. Now we are on break.

NS says courts deal with fuzzy lines all the time. NS says a lot is resting on the "rock barren" definition but this may be a very small proportion of the woods. NS goes through a number of other laws that were not found to be vague.

NS addresses our argument that the Minister was required to identify a zone or area of the woods that travel is banned to. He says it's not physically possible to mark this off. NS says this is irrational.

Judge says s 25 says "in any area of woods." Within what area of woods does the proclamation apply? NS says in all areas in all counties. NS says: what's the alternative? Does it have to specify GPS coordinates? Judge asks does s. 25 contemplate a "zone" that is "all areas"?

Judge says it says "in any area" and a "restricted zone of travel." It refers to "any area of woods," while proclamation refers to "the woods." Is that the same as an "area of the woods." NS says "any area of woods," means "all areas of woods." General language trumps specific.

NS argues that in order to provide reasonable guidance to the public, a general prohibition is the more rational approach to risk reduction.

Judge says there's a risk I could spontaneously combust. Yes, it's possible a hiker could create a fire by tripping and their phone sparks a fire as you mentioned. But you've got to have something better than that? NS says rocks could fall and start a fire.

Judge says: isn't the real thing you're saying that arsonists will start fires and the best way to keep arsonists out of the woods is to keep everybody out of the woods, so we're going to keep everybody out of the woods to ensure no one is setting fires?

NS says you can't draw these lines around who is and who is not a risk without completely imperiling the objective. NS argues that allowing commercial activities is a rational response covered by the purpose section in the statute.

Judge asks: does this mean if you got the permit to close the cottage, it will say, do X, Y and Z? NS says in those cases it's just comply with the rule. Others might say if you're using an ATV you have to have a water tank or a fire extinguisher.

NS says the decision was polycentric. Minister had to consider recreational activities and considered it's better to have a forest available for future recreation.

NS has spoken at length about the Charter of the Forest (1217). Judge says that if this case turns on the Charter of the Forest then things are truly bad. Court is over for the day.

Subject: My turn to tell a tale.

I think is time to let a little something out of the bag for the benefit of
a few Maritimers who think they know something about the Media.I did notify
CBC, the Rogers crowd and Harry Steele’s folks that I knew a little bit
about the Media and that I had written a book about it.
Problem is I need an editor and I believe I may have found one.He comes in
the form of a disenchanted newspaper man. But the thing is I want to put it
on the web for all to read for free so there is no money in it for him. So I
guess I wiil sue some big company with a Prima Facia complaint and settle
for a lesser amount out of court. Lets just say I am looking hard at you
dudes.
I had zeroed in on the Yankee media long ago and I am certain folks within
the Ottawa Citizen and Democracy Watch had checked my work (Hey Duff say hey
to Dan for me) I have crossed paths with many of Globemedia’s people many
times for many reasons and I can easily prove it.
What I haven’t bothered to tell them that I knew the reason Gobal etc never
mentioned me was Frank McKenna and the Irving influence because basically
that was a no brainer anyway.
However If Globemedia and all their cohorts didn’t think I knew about the
influence Robert Pozen in Boston, you had best think again. then give Mr.
Spitzer, Mr. Galvin, Mr. Shelby and Mr. Donaldson a call and drop my name
along with Mr. Nesters and Mr. Koski’s and tell them my stuff is off to the
Arar Commission I am heading back to the USA to call Mr. Pozen and many
folks he calls friends to court.
Perhaps in Ottawa Bill Rowe will truly speak for the common man after all if
the worm turns on his buddies.
How do you people sleep at night? What say you? Why not get honest with the
world and I will settle cheap?
I will give one of your lawyers something real soon before I serve Mr. Pozen

MFS set to agree to second settlement
· MFS set to agree to second settlement
By SINCLAIR STEWART

By SINCLAIR STEWART

00:00 EST Wednesday, March 31, 2004

Sun Life Financial Inc.’s Boston-based mutual fund arm will agree to a
$50-million (U.S.) settlement today with U.S. regulators over allegations
the firm directed trading commissions to brokerages in exchange for
preferential treatment, according to people familiar with the matter.

Sources said Massachusetts Financial Services Co. will announce a deal with
the Securities and Exchange Commission this morning that will also include
“compliance reforms,” in addition to a token $1 disgorgement penalty.

Eric Morse, a spokesman for MFS, declined to comment. A spokesman for the
SEC refused to discuss any talks with the firm.

The embattled fund company is hoping this settlement will enable it to move
beyond the intense public and regulatory scrutiny it has endured in the past
several months.

In early February, MFS agreed to a $350-million settlement with the SEC and
New York State Attorney-General Eliot Spitzer for allegedly permitting
improper trades in some of its bigger funds. That figure included
$225-million in penalties and restitution to investors, along with
$125-million in fee reductions spread out over the next five years.

The fallout within MFS, which manages about $140-billion in assets, was also
considerable. Its two highest-ranking officials — chief executive officer
John Ballen and president Kevin Parke — were each fined and slapped with
temporary suspensions by the SEC, leading to their departures from the firm.
Long-serving chairman Jeffrey Shames also retired in the aftermath of MFS’s
problems, and was replaced by Robert Pozen, formerly a senior executive at
Fidelity Investments and onetime associate general counsel at the SEC.

Mr. Pozen has been charged with cleaning up the mess, and tightening the
firm’s internal controls.

He has already hired new legal and compliance officers, added monitoring
staff, and imposed a ban on so-called “soft dollar” transactions. The firm
also prohibited the practice of directing trading fees to brokerages in
exchange for being placed on a preferred list of customers and receiving
better visibility for its funds.

This latter arrangement, known in industry circles as “pay for play,” is at
the centre of MFS’s pending settlement with the SEC. Sources said the
current settlement talks advanced fairly quickly because of the voluntary
compliance improvements MFS has undertaken.

In a recent interview with The Globe and Mail, Mr. Pozen attacked the basis
of the regulator’s case as “very weak” and said it should have raised this
as a problem when it conducted audits of the company.

Nevertheless, he said he hoped to settle the matter quickly, in large part
to avoid a costly legal battle and prevent nervous investors from pulling
their money out of MFS funds. So far, the damage has been contained to one
major client, the Illinois Teachers Retirement System, which fired MFS last
month as lead manager on a $664-million portfolio.

The SEC is investigating about a dozen other fund companies for directed
brokerage, although sources say MFS will settle individually, rather than as
part of a group.

Last fall, brokerage powerhouse Morgan Stanley agreed to pay $50-million to
settle charges it failed to tell investors it was promoting funds with which
the firm had a special arrangement. Morgan Stanley had a “Partners Program”
of 14 funds, including MFS, that paid “substantial” fees in return for the
brokerage steering their funds to investors, the SEC claimed.

The regulator indicated a few months ago it would begin investigating a
number of fund companies for directing commissions, but did not say which
firms it would target.

Sun Life revealed in a filing that MFS was under investigation for this
practice just a couple of weeks after its first settlement with the SEC and
Mr. Spitzer. The news came as a surprise to most observers, some of whom
criticized the insurer’s CEO, Donald Stewart, for not disclosing this probe
earlier.

MFS is hoping to recoup some of the $175-million it must repay investors
under the terms of the first settlement by suing firms and individuals that
engaged in market timing and late trading of its funds. Market timing
involves making frequent trades in and out of funds in order to cash in on
minor pricing discrepancies. It is not illegal, but is usually prohibited by
many fund companies, since the quick trading can raise administrative costs
and undermine returns to investors.

MFS Mutual Fund Fraud Litigation

Court:	United States District Court for the District of Maryland
Case Number:	04-md-15863
Class Period:	12/15/1998 - 12/08/2003

Following a hearing on May 3, 2004 in the massive mutual fund litigation, the United States District Court for the District of Maryland appointed BLB&G client the City of Chicago Deferred Compensation Plan as Lead Plaintiff in the securities fraud class action against Massachusetts Financial Services Company ("MFS"), the investment advisor to the MFS Funds, and others.

On March 1, 2006, the Court sustained the Consolidated Amended Class Action Complaint, allowing the case to move forward against certain defendants.

SUMMARY OF ALLEGATIONS:

The Complaint in this litigation alleges that MFS and certain of its senior executives were aware of, engaged in and facilitated "timing" trades in the MFS Funds: a money-making act involving short-term trading in and out of a mutual fund. The technique is designed to exploit inefficiencies in the way mutual fund companies price their shares by allowing certain customers to trade shares at distorted prices that no longer reflect the true value of the fund. As a result, those few customers permitted to engage in market timing typically reap huge profits, the cost of which are borne primarily by the long-term investors in the relevant fund.

The public filings issued by the Defendants stated that, "MFS funds do not permit market-timing or other excessive trading practices that may disrupt portfolio management strategies and may harm fund performance." In reality, however, the Defendants knew, or recklessly disregarded, the fact that trades were being timed and that these timed trades negatively and materially impacted the MFS Funds, thereby causing significant losses to investors in the MFS Funds.

On February 5, 2004, MFS agreed to entry of a cease and desist order by the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") against MFS and John W. Ballen ("Ballen"), MFS's current chief executive officer, and Kevin R. Parke ("Parke"), MFS's current president and chief investment officer ("Cease and Desist Order"). Specifically, the SEC found that MFS, Ballen and Parke allowed widespread market timing trading in certain MFS Funds from at least late 1999 through October 2003, in contravention of the Funds' public disclosures. In particular, MFS explicitly informed certain select brokers in a written memo that "unrestricted" trading would be permitted in certain MFS funds (known internally at MFS as "Unrestricted Funds"), including the Massachusetts Investors Growth Stock Fund, "even if a pattern of excessive trading has been detected." Not only did MFS selectively enforce its market-timing policies, but executives at MFS facilitated the frequent trading in and out of certain MFS Funds by steering select investors to these "Unrestricted Funds." As the Cease and Desist Order confirms, as much as $2 billion in timing money flowed into MFS Funds during the Class Period.

Internal MFS documents and policies acknowledged that market timing was detrimental to long-term shareholders. In fact, as early as June 2000, an internal presentation entitled "Market Timing Wheel of Terror," warned that "[l]ong term investors are being penalized" by market timing activity. Nevertheless, the market timing activity persisted in the MFS "Unrestricted Funds." Moreover, MFS's select enforcement of its trading policies also included late trading, which alone caused well over $100 million in investor losses. And, as further alleged in the complaint, various brokers and financial institutions also participated in the market timing schemes, to the detriment of ordinary investors.

MFS's policy of allowing market-timing and steering select investors to the "Unrestricted Funds" was adopted as a means to increase profits by luring market timing assets so as to increase funds under management, and, therefore, increase fees paid to MFS for investment advisory services. These additional assets under management also resulted in an increased bonus pool from which MFS employees, including Ballen and Parke, were paid excessive compensation. During this period, none of the above detailed material information was disclosed to the members of the Class. In addition to the profits from their market timing, MFS also profited by charging ordinary investors hundreds of millions of dollars in management fees while breaching their fiduciary duties to those very same investors.

On May 20, 2010, the Court preliminarily approved proposed settlements, totaling $75,042,250, that would resolve this litigation. On October 25, 2010, the Court entered Judgments granting final approval to the settlements and entered separate Orders granting Plaintiffs' Counsel's application for an award of attorneys' fees and expenses and approving the Plan of Allocation of the settlement proceeds.

The claims administration process has concluded and the net settlement fund has been fully disbursed. This matter is considered closed.

REVIEW OF CURRENT INVESTIGATIONS
AND REGULATORY ACTIONS REGARDING
THE MUTUAL FUND INDUSTRY
TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 2003
U.S. SENATE,
COMMITTEE ON BANKING, HOUSING, AND URBAN AFFAIRS,
Washington, DC.
The Committee met at 10 a.m. in room SD–538 of the Dirksen
Senate Office Building, Senator Richard C. Shelby (Chairman of
the Committee) presiding.
OPENING STATEMENT OF CHAIRMAN RICHARD C. SHELBY
Chairman SHELBY. The hearing shall come to order.
This hearing is part of the Committee’s ongoing oversight of the
mutual fund industry. Today, the Committee will review current
investigations and enforcement proceedings and examine regu-
latory actions taken to date in order to fully inform and guide the
Banking Committee’s consideration of possible legislative reform.
On September 30, 2003, this Committee first examined the scope
of problems confronting the mutual fund industry. At that time,
Chairman Donaldson testified about the SEC’s ongoing enforce-
ment actions and described the SEC’s regulatory blueprint for
adopting new regulations aimed at improving the transparency of
fund operations and stopping abusive trading practices. Since
Chairman Donaldson’s testimony, we have learned that improper
fund trading practices are a widespread problem that fund insiders,
brokers, and privileged clients have profited from at the expense of
average investors.
In early September, New York Attorney General Spitzer uncov-
ered arrangements through which brokers facilitated improper
trades for their clients in certain prominent mutual funds in ex-
change for large, fee generating investments. Since this initial set-
tlement, we have learned the extent to which both intermediaries,
such as brokers, and fund executives have engaged in illicit trading
activities. We have read about the backhanded ways by which the
brokers colluded with their customers to disguise improper trade
orders to make them appear legitimate, thus evading detection by
mutual fund policing systems.
Even in situations where mutual funds attempted to halt im-
proper trading activity, certain brokers created fictitious names
and account numbers to fool fund compliance officers and to con-
tinue trading. Recent investigations have also revealed that mutual
fund executives and portfolio managers have actively engaged in

2
improper trading activity. And these allegations are particularly
troubling because fund executives and portfolio managers have
represented themselves as protecting client assets, but they failed
by either knowingly permitting improper trading by brokers or
actively engaging in illegal trading activities themselves.
Such practices may not only violate prospectus disclosures, but
also violate the fiduciary duties that funds owe to their share-
holders—the duties to treat all shareholders equitably and to pro-
tect shareholder interests. Further, regulators have indicated that
they may soon file charges against funds that have selectively
disclosed portfolio information to certain privileged investors and
fund executives that may have engaged in illegal insider trading by
acting on the basis of nonpublic information.
As this Committee made clear during Chairman William H.
Donaldson’s September 30 appearance here, a regulatory response
to improper trading activities is just one of the many actions that
the SEC must take to address the many troubling issues that have
come to light in the mutual fund industry. This Committee remains
concerned with the transparency of fund operations and ensuring
that investors can learn how their fund is being managed. It has
become very, very apparent that many of the questionable fund
practices that are now being examined are not just the result of a
few bad actors, but are longstanding industry practices that have
largely gone unregulated and not well disclosed to, or understood
by, most investors.
Therefore, this Committee must take a comprehensive look, I be-
lieve, at the industry to determine if the industry’s operations and
practices are consistent with investors’ interests and the greater
interests of the market. It may be that we must consider possible
realignment of interests to ensure that mutual funds are operating
as efficiently and fairly as the market and investors demand. We
will examine fund disclosure practices regarding fees, trading costs,
sales commissions, and portfolio holdings. So, we will continue to
question the conflicts of interest surrounding the relationship be-
tween the investment adviser and the fund and how potential
changes to fund governance and disclosure practices may minimize
these conflicts.
We will also focus on fund sales practices to ensure that brokers
sell suitable investments to their clients, provide adequate disclo-
sure of any sales incentives, and give clients any breakpoint dis-
counts to which they are entitled.
Chairman Donaldson has told this Committee that the SEC has
the necessary statutory authority to reform the mutual fund indus-
try and is in the process of conducting a comprehensive rulemak-
ing. As we have learned in other contexts, however, additional reg-
ulation is not the only answer. Late trading is clearly illegal and
market timing is actively deterred and policed. Despite prohibitions
and warnings, these activities continued unabated because of the
inadequate compliance and enforcement regimes at the SEC, the
mutual funds and the brokers. Whether due to a lack of resources
or other pressing priorities, mutual fund abuses simply did not re-
ceive adequate attention from the SEC. Although recent enforce-
ment actions indicate that priorities have changed, we need to

understand how the SEC will revise compliance programs to detect
and halt future fund abuses.
Vigorous enforcement remains the key to restoring integrity to
the fund industry, and Attorney General Spitzer’s timely actions
once again demonstrate, I believe, the significant role that States
play in prosecuting fraud and abuse in the securities markets. Re-
gardless of the number of rules or amount of resources, it would
be impractical to expect the SEC to detect every single fraud and
manipulation in the fund industry. Therefore, the mutual funds
and the brokerage houses themselves must proactively adopt new
compliance measures to detect fraud and abuse. For many years,
participants in the mutual fund industry maintain industry ‘‘best
practices.’’ These practices, however, have clearly proven to be in-
adequate as brokers and funds have disregarded conflicts of inter-
est and colluded at the expense of investors without detection.
Although funds and brokers owe different types of duties to their
investors, both groups have an obligation to refrain from knowingly
ignoring their clients’ interests and profiting at their expense.
With over 95 million investors and $7 trillion—yes, $7 trillion—
in assets, mutual funds have always been perceived as the safe
investment option for average investors. America has become a Na-
tion of investors, but there is no doubt that recent revelations
about mutual funds have caused very many to question the per-
ceived fairness of the industry. Many are surprised to learn that
the mutual fund industry is plagued by the same conflict that was
at the root of the Enron scandal and the global settlement—one set
of profitable rules for insiders and another costly set for average
investors.
Beyond the legal concepts of fiduciary duties and transparency,
there is a more fundamental principle that should underlie the
operation of the mutual fund industry and our securities markets
in general.
This principle is that securities firms and mutual funds should
not neglect investors’ interests and knowingly profit at their ex-
pense. Until firms can demonstrate an ability to abide by this
ideal, investors will not trust the markets, nor should they. In our
own way, Congress, the SEC and regulators, and industry partici-
pants must collectively work to reform the mutual fund industry in
order to restore investor confidence. I believe, we must reassure in-
vestors that mutual funds are a vehicle in which they can safely
invest their money and not fall victim to financial schemes. The
mutual fund industry is simply too important to too many Ameri-
cans to do otherwise.
Examining the mutual fund industry is a priority for this Com-
mittee, and I look forward to working with my fellow Committee
Members, especially Senators Enzi, Dodd, and Corzine, all of whom
have already expressed significant interest in this issue.
Our first witness today is Chairman Bill Donaldson, and on the
second panel we will hear from Matthew Fink, President of the In-
vestment Company Institute, and Marc Lackritz, President of the
Securities Industry Association.
Now, I will call on my Members.
Senator Sarbanes.

MFS Investment Management
and

“REVIEW OF CURRENT INVESTIGATIONS AND REGULATORY ACTIONS
REGARDING THE MUTUAL FUND INDUSTRY:
FUND OPERATIONS AND GOVERNANCE”

COMMITTEE ON BANKING, HOUSING AND URBAN AFFAIRS
UNITED STATES SENATE

March 23, 2004

Thank you Chairman Shelby, Ranking Member Sarbanes and other members of the
Committee for this opportunity to present my views on appropriate reforms for the mutual fund
industry.

My name is Robert C. Pozen and I am from Boston, Massachusetts. I am currently
Chairman of MFS Investment Management, which manages approximately $140 billion for
approximately 370 accounts including over 100 mutual funds serving approximately six million
investors. I am also a visiting professor at Harvard Law School and author of the textbook The
Mutual Fund Business (2 ed. Houghton Mifflin 2001).

I commend the Committee for engaging in a deliberative and broad-ranging review of the
operations and regulation of the mutual fund industry. While I welcome questions about any
aspect of the fund industry, I will limit my testimony today to three areas where I believe that MFS is helping to set important new standards for the fund industry:

1) maximized shareholder valuethrough fund brokerage;

2) individualized reporting of shareholder expenses; and

3) structural enhancements for fund governance. We are making changes in these three areas to benefit MFS shareholders and, if followed by the rest of the industry, to benefit all fund shareholders.

I. Reducing Reliance on Soft Dollars
The current system of paying for goods and services with “soft dollars”, taken out of
brokerage commissions, is detrimental to mutual fund shareholders. The use of “soft dollar”
payments makes it virtually impossible for a fund manager to ascertain the true costs of executing trades because execution costs are bundled together with the costs of other goods and services such as research reports and Bloomberg terminals. If these costs were unbundled, then fund managers could pay cash out of their own pockets for independent research or market data, and could negotiate for lower execution prices for fund shareholders.

Currently, if a trader from a mutual fund executes fund trades through a full-service
broker on Wall Street, the trader pays five cents a share for execution plus a broad range of
goods or services from the executing broker or third parties: e.g., securities research, market data and brokerage allocations to promote fund sales. These goods and services are paid in “soft dollars”: that is, they are bundled into the five cents per share charge in a non- transparent

1 of 6

manner. If MFS does not accept these ancillary goods or services through “soft dollars”, it will still
be required to pay five cents per share by the full-service broker.

In other words, it is almost impossible to obtain a price discount from a full-service
Wall Street firm for executing a large fund trade. However, that firm is willing to provide an in-kind
discount in the form of soft dollars that can be used to purchase various goods or services. This is
more than a technical pricing oddity. The key point is this: a price discount on the trade (for
example, from five cents to three cents per share) would go directly to the mutual fund and its
shareholders. In-kind services like market data services go directly to the fund management
company and only indirectly to the mutual fund and its shareholders.

MFS has already eliminated the use of “soft dollars” to promote sales of mutual fund
shares. Since January 1, 2004, MFS has been paying cash out of its own pocket to broker-
dealers to promote fund sales. While the SEC has proposed a rule to this effect, MFS has
switched from soft dollars to cash to promote fund sales regardless of whether and when the SEC
adopts its rule.

More dramatically, earlier this month MFS decided to stop using soft dollars to pay for
third-party research1 and market data. Again MFS will pay cash out of its own pocket for these
items. MFS estimates that this decision will cost the management company $10 to $15 million per
year. Yet MFS has agreed not to raise its advisory fees for its funds over the next five years.

Why is MFS willing to take the lead on getting off the addiction to soft dollars and moving to the healthy environment of price discounts?

The simple answer is: MFS puts the fund shareholder first. We recognize the need to employ a full-service broker to execute a large block trade (e.g., 500,000 shares in Genzyme); we need their skills and capital to actively work the trade and take up a portion of the trade themselves if necessary. But we want to pay a price in the range of three cents per share for an agency-only trade, though we are willing to pay more for a trade requiring capital to be put at risk by the broker-dealer.

1 We are not stopping the use of “soft dollars” for proprietary research and other services. Only recently has the SEC issued a concept release on accounting for all the elements of a bundled commission. SEC Release IC-26313 (Dec. 19, 2003).

2 of 6

The broader answer is that MFS wants to lead the industry to lower and more transparent execution costs. To accomplish this objective, MFS will need support from other asset managers as well as the SEC. Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act provides a safe harbor for asset managers using “soft dollars” for research and brokerage services. Initially, the SEC interpreted this safe harbor narrowly--allowing payment in “soft dollars” only if a good or service or product were not readily available for cash. Several years later, however, the SEC broadened the safe harbor to include any “legitimate” purpose for soft dollars (SEC Exchange Act Release 23170, April 23, 1986). The SEC should move back to its initial narrow interpretation of 28(e) to reduce the reliance on the use of “soft dollars”.

II. Individualized Expense Reporting

MFS will issue an individualized quarterly statement, rather than a general listing of fund expenses in basis points, which will show each fund shareholder a reasonable estimate of his or her actual fund expenses in dollar terms.

The MFS design for this individualized quarterly statement is cost effective as a result of one key assumption: that shareholders hold their funds for the whole prior quarter. This assumption is reasonable because over 90% of MFS shareholders fall into this category.

At present, the prospectus of every mutual fund contains an expense table listing the
various categories of fund expenses in basis points. The table might say, for instance:

Advisory Fee 53 bp
Transfer Agency Fee 10 bp
Other Fees 2 bp
12 b-1 Fee 25 bp
Total Expenses 90 bp

In addition, the prospectus of every fund includes a hypothetical example of a $10,000 investment in the fund to show the dollar amount of actual fund expenses paid by such a fund shareholder during the relevant period. The hypothetical example for the mutual fund with the expenses described above, for instance, would show $90 in total fund expenses over the last year.

Nevertheless, some critics have argued that mutual fund investors need customized
expense statements. By that, these critics mean the actual expenses paid by a shareholder in

3 of 6

several funds based on his or her precise holding period as well as the fund dividends during that
period. For example, we would have to compute the exact expenses of a shareholder who held
Fund A from January 15 until March 31 without reinvesting fund dividends; another shareholder
who held Fund B for the whole year and reinvested all fund dividends; and yet another
shareholder who held Fund C from February 1 until June 15 as well as from August 22 until
December 11 (during both periods, assuming no record date for fund dividends occurred).
This type of customized expense statement would, in my opinion, involve enormous
computer programming costs. The program would have to track the holdings of every fund
shareholder on a daily basis, take into account whether a fund dividend was reinvested or paid
out to the shareholder, and apply monthly basis point charges to fund balances reflecting monthly
appreciation or depreciation of fund assets. Of course, these large computer costs would
ultimately be passed on to fund shareholders.
At MFS, we will provide every fund shareholder with an estimate of his or her actual
expenses on their quarterly statements.2 We can do this at an affordable cost by making one
reasonable assumption—that the fund holdings of the shareholder at the end of the quarter were
the same throughout the quarter. Although this is a simplifying assumption, it produces a good
estimate of actual fund expenses since most shareholders do not switch funds during a quarter.
Indeed, this assumption will often lead to a slightly higher estimate of individualized expenses
than the actual amount because some shareholders will buy the fund during the quarter and other
shareholders will reinvest fund dividends during the quarter.
In addition, MFS will send its shareholders in every fund’s semi-annual report the
total amount of brokerage commissions paid by the fund during the relevant period as well as the
fund’s average commission rate per share (for example, 4.83 cents per share on average). But
this information on brokerage commissions should be separated from the fund expense table
because all the other items in the table are ordinary expenses expressed in basis points. By
contrast, brokerage commissions are a capital expense added to the tax basis of the securities
held by the fund, and brokerage commissions are expressed in cents per share.
2 These individualized expenses will not include brokerage costs because they are capitalized in the cost of the portfolio
security.

II. Enhanced Governance Structure

The mutual fund industry has a unique governance structure: the fund is a separate entity from its external manager. The independent directors of the fund must annually approve the
terms and conditions of the fund’s contract with its external manager. Of course, the independent directors usually reappoint the management company. In an industrial company, how often do the directors throw out the whole management team? But the independent directors of most mutual funds, in my experience, do represent fund shareholders by negotiating for contract terms and monitoring potential conflicts of interest.

At MFS, we believe we have the most advanced form of corporate governance in the
industry. To begin with, over 75% of the board is comprised of independent directors, who elect their own independent chairman. The chairman leads the executive sessions of independent directors, which occur before or after every board meeting. The independent chairman also helps set the board’s agenda for each meeting. A lead independent director could definitely take charge of the executive sessions and a lead director could also help set the board’s agenda. Thus, it
does not matter which title is employed; the key is to insure that a senior independent director
plays these two functions.
In many boards, the independent directors have their own independent counsel, as
the MFS boards do. But the independent directors of the MFS funds are going one step further by
appointing their own compliance officer. This officer will monitor all compliance activities by MFS
as well as supervise the fund’s own activities, and will report regularly to the Compliance
Committee of the Board (which itself is composed solely of independent directors).
On the management company side, MFS is the only company I know of that has a
non-executive chairman reporting to the independent directors of the MFS funds. This is a new
position designed to assure that the management company is fully accountable to the funds’
independent directors.

Finally, MFS as a management company has established the new position of Executive Vice President for Regulatory Affairs, and filled the position with a distinguished industry veteran. In addition, MFS has hired a distinguished law firm partner as its new general

5 of 6

counsel. Both will serve on the executive committee of MFS. The new Executive Vice President will be in charge of several regulatory functions—compliance, internal audit and fund treasury.

This high profile position within MFS is more than symbolic; it represents the great significance
given by MFS to these regulatory functions. While these functions are performed in most fund
management companies, it is rare to see the person in charge of these functions having the title of executive vice president and serving on the executive committee of the firm.

Conclusions

In summary, MFS is trying to establish standards of best practices in three important
areas to fund shareholders:

1) reduced reliance on “soft dollars”,

2) individualized expense reporting, and

3) enhanced governance structure. Other management firms are trying to take the lead in setting industry standards in other areas. At the same time, the SEC is in the process of
proposing and adopting a myriad of rules on disclosure requirements and substantive prohibitions or the fund industry—which overlap to a degree with the efforts of the fund management firms.

Because the SEC and the management firms are making such serious efforts to develop
higher behavioral norms for the mutual fund industry, it might be useful for Congress to monitor these efforts before finalizing a bill on mutual fund reforms. These are complex issues that may be better suited to an evolutionary process, led by an expert public agency with the flexibility to address the changing legal and factual environment.

Thank you again for this opportunity to testify on mutual fund reform. I would be pleased
to answer any questions the Chairman or Committee Members might have.

Subject: I just landed in Halifax for a case
To: <david.raymond.amos333@gmail.com>

Dear David,

Josh Dehaas here. I’m the Canadian Constitution Foundation’s Interim Litigation Director.

I just landed in a very rainy Halifax, where the CCF is in court this week challenging Nova Scotia’s unconstitutional provincewide ban on entering the woods.

This is a polarizing case. When I wrote to Premier Tim Houston last summer warning him that this extreme ban was violating rights and freedoms, the reaction was intense. I got a hate-mail.

I also got far more emails from Nova Scotians and other Canadians thanking me for standing up to the government’s vague, arbitrary and overbroad order. To many of you, this decision felt just like the unjustified attacks on freedom that we all faced during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Just as we were willing to comply with reasonable measures to slow down COVID-19 and to protect the vulnerable, Nova Scotians were happy to comply with reasonable measures to prevent forest fires such as meticulously following burn bans and temporarily parking ATVs.

But, for so many of us, it never made sense to threaten $25,000 fines and up to six months in jail for dog-walking on urban trails, fishing from barren rocks, or attending a friend’s birthday party in their rural back yard. None of these activities posed any risk of sparking a forest fire.

Even more absurd was that, at a time when taking a walk for your mental health could land you in jail, the government was handing out permits for risky commercial activities like forestry.

The Houston government really didn’t think this through. The evidence our lawyers have squeezed out of them shows that the Minister didn’t even try to justify his decision despite its obvious impact on Charter rights including Aboriginal rights, the right to roam, and basic liberty.

Not only did the Minister fail to turn his mind to the Charter impacts, he didn’t consider banning only those activities that posed an actual fire risk, and he refused to limit the ban to those parts of the province that were actually facing a serious fire risk. That’s simply not good enough. Every decision that impacts Charter rights needs to be justified, transparent and intelligible.

The CCF is here to ensure future governments think twice before such draconian restrictions.

I’ll be live-tweeting all week from the courtroom, and you can follow along on X @JoshDehaas.

I’ll also have a full debrief later this week on the Not Reserving Judgment podcast.

To all of you who have donated to make this case possible, thank you! To anyone who wishes to support our work, please consider a tax-deductible donation today at theccf.ca/donate/.

With some polls suggesting the Liberals are nearing 50% support while the Conservatives are slipping toward 30%, one has to wonder: has Mark Carney hit his ceiling and has Pierre Poilievre hit his floor?

This week on The Numbers, we discuss the latest federal polling numbers and the unprecedented scores being put up by the Liberals. We also discuss provincial polling from across the country as a new poll shows which premiers are up and which premiers are down. Then, Philippe has another Quiz.

@davidamos7114

Methinks it would be wise for the Liberals to have a writ dropped before the third reading of the Budget Implementation Act by the Senate is history. If just one Senator or MP finally acts ethically and spill the beans on the beancounters Carney's lead in the polls will melt first thing this spring. IMHO it was incredibly dumb for the Opposition to support the Liberal's Throne Speech and continue to do so to this very day. Mr Outhouse should advise his latest boss to ask the Speaker about my emails and comments in YouTube etc ASAP N'esy Pas?

@dr.deborah1192

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.

US Defense Giants Stunned: Canada Just Snapped Up the Deal of the Century | Jeffrey Sachs

Sachs Global

Dec 25, 2025

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.

Remember me Mr Wright?

Hey

        Before all the Parliamentarians argue and then vote to support further Canadian deaths in one of George W. Bush's Wars for Global Control for the benefit of his corporate cohorts perhaps, you should at least listen to the attachments if you do not wish to bother to read what Billy Casey and the Bankers got on May 12th. If I can assist in preventing the demise of just one more Canadian warrior in a malicious foreign war, all of my work will have been worth it EH?

        If everyone ignores me as usual, I will not be surprised. At least I will sleep well with my conscience tonight because I know I have done my very best to stop the nonsense since early 2002 long before the War in Iraq began. None of you deserve to sleep well at all because you all supported Harper's orders to send our people to war even before the 39th Parliament sat this year. As far as I am concerned the blood of four very honourable soldiers can be found on your hands. Shame on all of you for not even bothering to honour our dead by lowering the flag on the Peacetower. As long as I have been aware and could consider myself a Proad Canadian, I thought we were peacekeepers rather than poorly paid hired guns for crooked corporations, corrupt politicians and their wicked Yankee bible pounding buddies.

Deja Vu Anyone? Anyone?

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

RE: Blowing the whistle on big banks and corrupt politicians too.

Hey,

        Flaherty’s budget looming on the horizon tonight is gonna get the big OK from the Bloc EH? Well a mean old bike mechanic in the Maritimes has been waiting to chuck a wrench in the works of many a crooked beancounter. I just served your offices in hand some of the same material that Andre Arthur MP and Senator Kinsella received before the 39^th 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 37^th, 38^th and now the 39^th Parliament know why the Yankee DHS tried to take me away to Cuba on April 1^st, 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 38^th 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 37^th Parliament, and the Maritimer was our Ambassador to the USA under the mandate of the 38^th. 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 7^th. 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 49^th 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 11^th 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 19^th, 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 4^th, 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 38^th 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 39^th 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 38^th 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.

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.

Subject: I am curious

Madam

I did not receive a response from you to the last email so I am not
certain if you received it. I must inform you that I will be closing my
briefcase in Yahoo for public view at the end of the week. I have a great
deal of material to add and I only wish certain parties to view it. I opened
it for you the other day as an act of good faith. Mr. Pozen can check my
work in the dockets of the various courts around Boston they are a matter of
Public Record my files are not. As you can see by this and some following
emails. I am very busy dealing with criminal matters first before filing
civil complaints in the USA. As I told you when you called a lot has been
happening. I have made a lot of cops mad at me and I don’t trust them a bit
particularly after the Police Commission is willing to check their work so i
have been busy watching my back and covering my butt. However that does not
mean that I have not thought about our conversation and was curious about a
few things.

I was glad to receive your call and impressed by the fact that you
were more than willing to receive the material and a copy of the wiretap
tape in particular. Your stated willingness to uphold the law was a rare
statement to me. However I was curious why you only mentioned my voicemail
to Mr. Pozen and not the email to your company and the news program that it
owns. Did they not inform you as well? If they didn’t I am not surprised
because I have some other rather interesting denials from the Media. the
most interesting would have to be from the PBS program called Frontline when
I introduced its producer Michael Sullivan to the US Attorney Michael J.
Sullivan. Now that is a story well worth W5 telling. Too bad they showed me
their ass. As a courtesy to you and a further act of good faith, I will not
forward this email to anyone else until after I return to the USA and
nothing has been resolved between BCE and I and I am compelled to name it in
my complaint. I would find it very hard to believe that Mr, Pozen does not
know everything he needs to know about me right now.

I had also called a lawyer, Steven Skurka who had a week long little
special on CTV . I had tried to inform him that I knew my rights his
assistant hollered at me. You from speaking to me yourself that I am not a
rude character. I found it too funny to be treated that way and I had
resolved to serve him this stuff byway of the local ATV Station that had
presented his smiling talking head to me. That is why I was telling you that
you could get this stuff from the local ATV station. I found it quite
strange that you did not rely on them to send it on to you. Thus I must make
an extra copy to comply with your request.

I know the date stamp on the forwarded email is incorrect but that is
because my old laptop goes to the first year in it when I boot up and
sometimes I am too busy or tired to bother changing it. However MSN tracks
it with the true date. Brad Smith and I have a bone to pick as well and I
have been checking his work rather closely since he ignored my letter to him
last year. His boss Bill Gates is gonna be very angry and Brad Smith and
Steve Balmer in the near future if I have anything to do with it. If you do
act ethically and immediately I will settle with your company very cheaply
in comparsion to the bottom lines of my first two complaints. In fact I will
be so impressed I will immediatlely offer you a better job than the one you
have now. Please study the material I will provide you closely and ask me
any thing you wish.

I will do as I promised and send the material you requested as soon
as I can put it all together. Right now I am on the move and far away from
my printer. Is the following your correct address? Perhaps you should
consider sending someone to the my meeting with the Police Commission in
Fredericton next week in order to hear me speak of these matters to law
enforcement before I return to the USA. Once I do return there I will serve
the Mr. Pozen the material as promised and call him to testify in my pending
trial. The following emails should explain some of my concerns to you. My
wife will be in Canada next week as well to pick up our kids. I will allow
you to speak to her if you wish. She has had a nervous breakdown over the
legal crap and I do have her Durable Power of Attorney pursuant to M.G.L.
201 B. Mr. Pozen can ask Robert S. Creedon Jr. about that document. I argued
it with him before the entire Judicuary Commitee on Sept. 18th 2003.

I will call you in a minute to make certain that you get this and the
following emails.

00:00 EST Wednesday, March 31, 2004

By SINCLAIR STEWART

00:00 EST Wednesday, March 31, 2004

Eric Morse, a spokesman for MFS, declined to comment. A spokesman for the
SEC refused to discuss any talks with the firm.

The embattled fund company is hoping this settlement will enable it to move
beyond the intense public and regulatory scrutiny it has endured in the past
several months.

Mr. Pozen has been charged with cleaning up the mess, and tightening the
firm’s internal controls.

The SEC is investigating about a dozen other fund companies for directed
brokerage, although sources say MFS will settle individually, rather than as
part of a group.

The regulator indicated a few months ago it would begin investigating a
number of fund companies for directing commissions, but did not say which
firms it would target.

Press Release: Canadian Constitution Foundation Announces Change in Executive Leadership

Post author:The CCF
Post published:May 18, 2016
Post category:News / Press Releases

Calgary, 18 May 2016 – The Canadian Constitution Foundation today announced that Howard Anglin, former Deputy Chief of Staff in the Office of the Prime Minister, will succeed Marni Soupcoff as the Canadian Constitution Foundation’s next Executive Director as of July 1, 2016.

The Canadian Constitution Foundation is a registered charity that defends the rights and freedoms of Canadians through litigation, communications, and education.

“I am honoured to have been chosen by the board as the Canadian Constitution Foundation’s next Executive Director. I am excited to be joining a group of people so enthusiastically dedicated to defending our constitutional freedoms,” said Howard. “Marni has been an inspired leader and I look forward to preserving the impressive advances the Canadian Constitution Foundation has made under her watch. I am particularly excited about building on the foundation’s successful litigation record in defence of constitutional freedoms and to continuing to expand the foundation’s education and communications work”

Marni is the current Executive Director of the Canadian Constitution Foundation. She previously served several terms as a director on the Canadian Constitution Foundation Board. She is also a former staff attorney at the Institute for Justice, a libertarian public interest law firm based in Washington, D.C. She started her contributions to the Canadian Constitution Foundation at its founding fourteen years ago, offering lessons learned from her litigation experience in D.C.

Under Marni’s vision and leadership, the foundation has grown into one of the highest-impact legal charities in Canada today. The Runnymede Society was formed under her guidance, when she and other CCF staff saw the need for a law-school-based membership group that would specialize in holding provocative and enlightening debates and educational symposia focused on the importance of freedom and the rule of law in Canadian society. After successful events at law schools across the country this spring, the Runnymede Society will be holding its first student leadership conference in Ontario this summer.

Marni continues to serve on the boards of the R Street Institute (Chair), Civitas (Vice President), and the Society for Quality Education.

Howard’s appointment is the culmination of a thorough succession process, which was overseen by the Board of Directors of the Canadian Constitution Foundation.

“Howard’s experience as Deputy Chief of Staff at the Office of the Prime Minister – one of the most fast-paced and demanding jobs imaginable – combined with his successful legal career, makes him the right leader for the Canadian Constitution Foundation. I know Howard will lead the foundation to even greater prominence,” said Marni. “I have been proud and pleased to serve as the Canadian Constitution Foundation’s Executive Director for the past two years. I am really glad to have worked alongside so many passionate people during my time with the foundation and I would like to thank all our donors and supporters for the help and encouragement they’ve shown the group.”

Howard’s legal career includes work at two international law firms in New York and London and at a leading Washington, DC law firm. He also served as a law clerk to the Hon. Diarmuid O’Scannlain of the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. He was appointed Chief of Staff to the Canadian Minister of Citizenship, Immigration, and Multiculturalism in January 2011 and he joined the Office of the Prime Minister in 2013, serving first as Senior Advisor, Legal Affairs and Policy and then as Deputy Chief of Staff and Acting Chief of Staff.

Howard received his J.D. from New York University in 2002, where he was an editor of the Law Review and Co-President of the Federalist Society student chapter. Before law school, he received his B.A. (Hons.) and completed graduate coursework at McGill University. At law school, he worked as a research assistant for Professor Alan Dershowitz.

During his time in Ottawa, Howard was named by the Hill Times as one of the 25 “Most Powerful and Influential People in Politics and Government” in Canada for 2015 and by Embassy Magazine as one of the “Top 80 Influencing Canadian Foreign Policy” in 2013. The Hill Times also twice ranked Howard as the second most outstanding political staffer in Ottawa. He was called to the bar of New York in 2002 and the District of Columbia in 2006 and his call to the bar of Ontario (Law Society of Upper Canada) is scheduled for June 2016.

RE: Corruption

Hey,

Please find enclosed an exact copy of all material served upon
Lieutenant Governor Roberts by my friend Byron Prior. The copy of wiretap
tape numbered 139 is served upon you in confidence as law enforcement
authorities in order that it may be properly investigated. I have also
enclosed a copy of the correspondence between the RCMP External Review
Committee and I. As you review the same material they got, you can see the
folks in BC were contacted almost one year ago. Apparently the dumb bastards
don’t know how to read. If these are the best lawyers Anne McLellan has got
to send against me, the government is about to be embarrassed big time by a
simple Maritimer.

Whereas I have now received my answer from the Lieutenant Governor of
New Brunswick and the RCMP External Review Committee, I am about to file my
own complaints. I have given up on my native land protecting my dumb ass. If
you have any questions may I suggest that you take my matter up with Anne
McLellan or Jack Hooper.

With respect to my friend Byron Prior’s sad complaint, let me be the
first layman to congratulate the RCMP in the fine job they did covering up
his matters for the benefit many corrupt politicians for some many years. It
is too bad that the RCMP weren’t so diligent in upholding the law. Lets see
if I can have any luck tearing the mask of virtue off of the RCMP and the
likes of T. Alex Hickman for the benefit of all the simple folk like Byron
and I.

Shame on all of you. Say hey to the cop in the picture that was
guarding Harper on June 19th will ya? I need to know his name and summons
him to court to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.
He can bring his god along to help if he thinks it necessary but I would
rather he bring his conscience. What say you? If I don’t get an answer from
you by Oct3rd. I will be due to sue you too. What do you think should I
complain of the RCMP in a court Newfoundland or New Brunswick?

I already know Byron’s answer.

By SINCLAIR STEWART

00:00 EST Wednesday, March 31, 2004

Eric Morse, a spokesman for MFS, declined to comment. A spokesman for the
SEC refused to discuss any talks with the firm.

The embattled fund company is hoping this settlement will enable it to move
beyond the intense public and regulatory scrutiny it has endured in the past
several months.

Mr. Pozen has been charged with cleaning up the mess, and tightening the
firm’s internal controls.

The SEC is investigating about a dozen other fund companies for directed
brokerage, although sources say MFS will settle individually, rather than as
part of a group.

The regulator indicated a few months ago it would begin investigating a
number of fund companies for directing commissions, but did not say which
firms it would target.

I am a Canadian Citizen who thus far, as a plaintiff, has two Lawsuits
in the US District Court of Massachucetts they are numbered 02-11686-
RGS and 02-11687-RGS. They were removed to that Court from the Norfolk
Superior Court by the US Attorney Michael J. Sullivan very improperly.
However they shall remain there because of my status as a Canandian
Citizen. Judge Sterns has not even held a Conference about the matters
because he likely does not want to hear the matter.

I have presented all Members of the Bar with their worst fear of a
catch 22 problem. According to law he is late. I have complained of 47
defendants 34 of whom are State Defendants( the Attorney General, The
Commission of Judicial Conduct Board of Bar Overseers etc) and 3 are
Federal Treasury Agents. Some of the defendants are over two months
late in their answer to the Summons. The smallest suit amounts to 188
million dollars in the form of relief.

There is a lot to these matters and too much to briefly explain. But
in a nutshell my wife’s Aunt, who is buried beside Rose Kennedy, left
my wife some money. It was stolen by her relatives in executing the
estate. No news there. But the crooks are very well connected
politically and every part of the old crony network in Boston covered
for them. The crook and our cousin, Charles J. Kickham Jr of the
Kickham Law Office on Beacon St, has been past President of Bar
Associations. He has sat on the Board of Governors of Harvard Law
School etc. I have given much information to many members of the press
who have simply ignored some interesting facts.

What should be somewhat newsworthy is how far a wild colonial boy has
come in prosecuting Pro Se the most profund Yankee carpetbaggers. My
next two lawsuits Under title 18 are wickedly righteous. I have left
one copy of much information in Saint John New Brunswick at a lawyer’s
Office, Mosher and Chedore 33 Charlotte St if some one wishes to view
them. I can be reached at this Cell number 506 434- 1379

P.S. Did anyone notice that the RCMP recent Youtube went “Poof” once
again? It lasted all of one day this time.

Rest assured I put it right back up. It was kinda funny even if it was
at my family’s expense.

I got a better one for ya Petey Boy. “Thar she blows”. I bet
Belinda is really pissed off at everybody and is letting off some
steam. If I were you I would start bailing out of your new party like
any other rat that would desert a sinking ship. That is one boat that
could never float. The way you back stabbed your way into its creation
will likely never be forgotten. Some of the new Senators Martin just
appointed proved that didn’t they? Right now you are just hanging on
and kissing Harper’s arse because nobody else will ever trust you in
their Dory except maybe the diddler, Billy Matthews. He is used to
turningcoat and needs help bailing out his punky little craft. I think
the liberals are tired of him by now and Johnny Crosbie is likely
pretty pissed at him too. I think you two dudes should be good company
for each other as everybody else tries to distance themselves from a
couple of cry babies that call themselves Maritimers. You were born
there alright but a lair lawyer and a nasty old diddler reflect poorly
upon the rest of us. But bad apples fall from the best of trees. The
sooner the better so that they don’t suck the sap out of the good
ones.

Dare to argue me Petey Boy? I am ten times meaner with no temper
than the man that pitches silly fits kicks chairs. I would kick your
arse in a good debate. I would laugh if you asked me to step outside,
head for the door and quit talking immediately in a sincere effort to
kick your arse in the street. Win or lose, rest assured I would have
fun. Fighting is a true Maritime tradition. EH MacKay? Feel free to
try to call me a liar. Everybody knows it would be a case of the pot
trying to call the kettle black.

As I stated within an earlier email, Scott Daruty finally called
me back and pissed me off. He picked the wrong guy to try and toy
with. I will take up my concerns with Magna byway of Daruty and
Cellucci down here in the Yankee courts. I have much proof of what I
sent Belinda Stronach long before she ever became a Member of
Parliament up home. I will deal with her in a political fashion first
to see if she is interested in up holding the public trust while
protecting her interests in Magna. Good luck with your conscience as a
lawyer named Amos as you check my work. Here is my phone number 506
434-1379 if you have any questions before deciding whether or not to
uphold the law and protect the investor’s interests in Magna from my
necessary civil actions. I gave my material to Argeo P. Cellucci in
Canada in July of 2002 before I sent the Sheriffs out with my first
complaints. I know by the fax numbers at the top of my first complaint
that it was Ashcroft and Cellucci that directed the US Attorney to try
to make my complaints evaporate. Now that Cellucci speaks for Magna

should have along talk about many things. But forget trying to label

contempt towards lawyers and their sense of ethics for very

CCF in Court This Week Challenging Nova Scotia’s Unconstitutional Woods Ban

Post author:The CCF
Post published:March 16, 2026
Post category:Press Releases / News

HALIFAX – Starting Monday, the Canadian Constitution Foundation (CCF) will appear at the Supreme Court of Nova Scotia challenging the government’s province-wide ban on entering the woods, which prevented residents from hiking, fishing, picnicking, and birdwatching, including on private land, for more than two months in the summer of 2025.

The CCF will argue that the ban violated section 7 of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms (life, liberty, and security of the person), exceeded the Minister’s powers under the Forests Act, and was proclaimed without any consideration of Charter rights.

On August 5, 2025, Natural Resources Minister Tory Rushton issued a Proclamation under section 25(1) of Nova Scotia’s Forests Act, prohibiting entry into any and all woods across the province without a government-issued permit. The order remained in effect in parts of the province as late as October 15.

Under the Forests Act, breaching restrictions could carry penalties of up to $500,000 in fines or up to six months in prison. The province stated it would have zero tolerance for violating the Proclamation, while at the same time offering confusing guidance about exceptions to the rules. At least one person was issued a $28,872.50 ticket for defying the ban.

Josh Dehaas, Interim Litigation Director for the CCF, who is travelling to Halifax for the hearing, said the ban violated the Charter-protected right to liberty because it threatened imprisonment despite the Forests Act offering no clarity on what places count as “woods,” and because the Proclamation offered contradictory guidance on what activities were actually banned.

“The Proclamation was overbroad and beyond the powers of the Minister as it applied throughout the province despite a range of fire risk, and to activities that did not pose any fire risk like gathering to celebrate a birthday at a private residence or walking a dog on a municipal trail,” Dehaas explained.

“Making matters worse, the Minister failed to even consider the numerous Charter rights that may be impacted including Aboriginal rights, freedom of movement and equality,” Dehaas added. “The court has been clear that decisions are not reasonable if apparent Charter rights are not considered.

“This case is fundamentally about ensuring governments respect the rule of law and don’t run roughshod over people’s freedoms just because it may be convenient for them,” Dehaas added.

The day after the forest ban was announced, Dehaas wrote to Premier Tim Houston and Minister Rushton outlining concerns, and never received a response. The CCF also launched a petition calling on the province to restore access to forests, which gathered thousands of signatures from Canadians.

The CCF is represented in this case by Nova Scotia counsel Nijhawan McMillan & Conlon Barristers.

Subject: I just landed in Halifax for a case
To: <david.raymond.amos333@gmail.com>

Dear David,

Josh Dehaas here. I’m the Canadian Constitution Foundation’s Interim Litigation Director.

I just landed in a very rainy Halifax, where the CCF is in court this week challenging Nova Scotia’s unconstitutional provincewide ban on entering the woods.

This is a polarizing case. When I wrote to Premier Tim Houston last summer warning him that this extreme ban was violating rights and freedoms, the reaction was intense. I got a hate-mail.

I also got far more emails from Nova Scotians and other Canadians thanking me for standing up to the government’s vague, arbitrary and overbroad order. To many of you, this decision felt just like the unjustified attacks on freedom that we all faced during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Just as we were willing to comply with reasonable measures to slow down COVID-19 and to protect the vulnerable, Nova Scotians were happy to comply with reasonable measures to prevent forest fires such as meticulously following burn bans and temporarily parking ATVs.

But, for so many of us, it never made sense to threaten $25,000 fines and up to six months in jail for dog-walking on urban trails, fishing from barren rocks, or attending a friend’s birthday party in their rural back yard. None of these activities posed any risk of sparking a forest fire.

Even more absurd was that, at a time when taking a walk for your mental health could land you in jail, the government was handing out permits for risky commercial activities like forestry.

The Houston government really didn’t think this through. The evidence our lawyers have squeezed out of them shows that the Minister didn’t even try to justify his decision despite its obvious impact on Charter rights including Aboriginal rights, the right to roam, and basic liberty.

Not only did the Minister fail to turn his mind to the Charter impacts, he didn’t consider banning only those activities that posed an actual fire risk, and he refused to limit the ban to those parts of the province that were actually facing a serious fire risk. That’s simply not good enough. Every decision that impacts Charter rights needs to be justified, transparent and intelligible.

The CCF is here to ensure future governments think twice before such draconian restrictions.

I’ll be live-tweeting all week from the courtroom, and you can follow along on X @JoshDehaas.

I’ll also have a full debrief later this week on the Not Reserving Judgment podcast.

To all of you who have donated to make this case possible, thank you! To anyone who wishes to support our work, please consider a tax-deductible donation today at theccf.ca/donate/.

Thank you for everything you do.

Yours in liberty,

Date: 20151223

Docket: T-1557-15

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.

“B. Richard Bell”
Judge

Below after the CBC article about your concerns (I made one comment
already) you will find the text of just two of many emails I had sent
to your office over the years since I first visited it in 2006.

bottom of this email ASAP and read the entire Paragraph 83 of my
lawsuit now before the Federal Court of Canada?

Dear Mr. Amos,

Thank you for your follow up e-mail to me today. I was on days off
over the holidays and returned to work this evening. Rest assured I
was not ignoring or procrastinating to respond to your concerns.

As your attachment sent today refers from Premier Graham, our position
is clear on your dead calf issue: Our forensic labs do not process
testing on animals in cases such as yours, they are referred to the
Atlantic Veterinary College in Charlottetown who can provide these
services. If you do not choose to utilize their expertise in this
instance, then that is your decision and nothing more can be done.

As for your other concerns regarding the US Government, false
imprisonment and Federal Court Dates in the US, etc... it is clear
that Federal authorities are aware of your concerns both in Canada
the US. These issues do not fall into the purvue of Detachment
and policing in Petitcodiac, NB.

It was indeed an interesting and informative conversation we had on
December 23rd, and I wish you well in all of your future endeavors.

Sincerely,

Warren McBeath, Cpl.

FEDERAL EXPRES February 7, 2006
Senator Arlen Specter
United States Senate
Committee on the Judiciary
224 Dirksen Senate Office Building
Washington, DC 20510

Dear Mr. Specter:

I have been asked to forward the enclosed tapes to you from a man
named, David Amos, a Canadian citizen, in connection with the matters
raised in the attached letter. Mr. Amos has represented to me that
these are illegal FBI wire tap tapes. I believe Mr. Amos has been in contact
with you about this previously.

Very truly yours,
Barry A. Bachrach
