Dispersing the Fog E59 - Sullivan Children, Deaths in NS Jails, Guests Shirley Heafey and Curt Allen
Adam Rodgers - Nova Scotia LawyerMay 3, 2026
This week, we are excited to introduce a new guest, former RCMP Complaints Commissioner, Shirley Heafey. She is joined by former RCMP Deputy Commissioner Curt Allen to discuss her career, her interactions with senior RCMP leadership, and her role in the Robert Dziekański case (where she assisted the responding officers, who were eventually exonerated by an OPP report on the incident).
Also discussed this week, the one year anniversary of the disappearance of Jack and Lilly Sullivan in rural Pictou County, and the latest RCMP statements. We also discuss the death of an inmate in custody, and the lack of information available for such situations. There was an emergency alert issued in Colchester County this week, near the area where the NS mass shootings took place, which is raising fresh questions about the lack of cooperation between the RCMP and Truro Police.

RE: Rampant Public Corruption
Hey,
Tuesday, November 28, 2006
OTTAWA — Anne McLellan has added her name to the list of former
Liberal cabinet ministers who say they were not fully briefed by the
RCMP on Maher Arar.
McLellan was appointed public safety minister in December 2003 and,
shortly thereafter, called a judicial inquiry into the case.
This fall, Justice Dennis O'Connor concluded the RCMP passed
inaccurate information to the United States on Arar that likely led to
his detention and torture in Syria.
On Tuesday, McLellan confirmed she was briefed on the "Arar situation"
by RCMP Commissioner Giuliano Zaccardelli and former CSIS director
Ward Elcock.
But she said she only learned that the RCMP had passed along false
information on Arar to the U.S. when the O'Connor report was released
in late September.
The RCMP described Arar to U.S. authorities as an Islamic extremist
suspected of ties to al-Qaida, even though he was never more than a
"person of interest" in an RCMP national-security investigation.
"In my presence, (neither) Commissioner Zaccardelli, nor anyone else,
either from the RCMP or CSIS, (ever) referred to Mr. Arar as an
Islamic extremist," McLellan told a Commons public safety committee
that has been probing the Arar affair.
"That was an expression that was never used in relation to Mr. Arar in
my presence. Ever."
McLellan's statements appear to contradict assertions by Zaccardelli
that he briefed the government about the mistakes by the RCMP.
In an appearance before the same committee in late September,
Zaccardelli said he informed former solicitor general Wayne Easter
about the errors. The solicitor general was the minister in charge of
the RCMP before the position was abolished last year.
But last month, Easter testified that he was never so informed.
"There is no situation where the RCMP came to me and basically said,
'We screwed up. We provided improper information,’” he said at the
time.
Earlier this month, Elcock of CSIS also testified he did not learn of
the RCMP's mislabeling of Arar until after the O'Connor report was
released.
On Tuesday, McLellan described an environment in which concern about
the Arar affair reached to the top of the political ladder.
She said that soon after former prime minister Paul Martin took office
in December 2003, he asked her to "get to the bottom of what had
happened to Mr. Arar."
Ottawa Citizen
That was what Landslide Annie had to say about the RCMP before Dion
was picked as leader of the liberals aweek or so ago. Ask me what I
sent Wayne Easter as Paul Martin was being crowned as Humpty Dumpty
three years ago. Clearly I sent something EH?

Thank you for your letter of November 19th, 2003, addressed to my
predecessor, the Honourble Wayne Easter, regarding your safety. I
apologize for the delay in responding.
If you have any concerns about your personal safety, I can only

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

Robin Camp case: What does it take to remove a judge from the bench?
Only two federally appointed judges recommended for dismissal since 1971
By Nicole Ireland, CBC News Posted: Nov 12, 2015 5:00 AM ET
The case of a judge who asked a woman, "Why couldn't you just keep
your knees together?" during an Alberta sexual assault trial is
raising questions about what kind of behaviour warrants removing a
justice from the bench.
Judge under review for berating sex assault complainant
Read the complaint against Justice Robin Camp
Only two judges have been recommended for removal by the Canadian
Judicial Council — a group of federally appointed judges tasked with
investigating complaints about their peers — since it was created in
1971.
Trevor Farrow
Trevor Farrow, associate dean at Osgoode Hall Law School in Toronto,
says it's 'a good thing' that judges don't lightly recommend
dismissing their peers. (Osgoode Hall Law School)
In both cases, the judges resigned before the recommendations made it
to Parliament, which ultimately decides whether or not to dismiss a
Canadian judge.
On Monday, the judicial council announced it was reviewing the conduct
of Robin Camp while he was an Alberta provincial court judge in 2014,
when he presided over a case involving a 19-year-old woman who alleged
she was sexually assaulted by a Calgary man during a house party.
According to the complaint that prompted the review, in addition to
the "keep your knees together" comment, Camp asked during the trial,
"Why didn't you just sink your bottom down into the basin so he
couldn't penetrate you?" (The woman alleged she was sexually assaulted
over a sink).
"At numerous points during the proceeding, Justice Camp was dismissive
of, if not contemptuous towards, the substantive law of sexual assault
and the rules of evidence," the complaint said. "In particular, he
showed disregard, if not disdain, for the rape shield provisions under
the Criminal Code, the legal definition of consent to sexual touching,
and the Criminal Code provision and case law regarding the doctrine of
recent complaint.
"His articulated disrespect for these legal rules was, in some
instances, combined with a refusal to apply them."
The Canadian Judicial Council must decide whether the complaint
against Camp, now a Federal Court judge, has merit and, if so, whether
it warrants the establishment of a review panel that could call a
public inquiry.
In the last four decades, the judicial council has ordered public
inquiries for 11 complaints against judges. Two of those inquiries are
still ongoing. In some cases, the judge resigned before the inquiry
was complete. For example, the late Judge Robert Flahiff was convicted
in 1999 for laundering money for a drug dealer back in the 1980s,
before he became a judge. He resigned before the judicial council
finished its inquiry.
Former Quebec judge convicted of money laundering dies
Convicted Quebec judge resigns
In other cases, the council recommended that the judges involved not
be removed from the bench — even if there had been inappropriate
conduct.
"It's not a fait accompli that if you have engaged in some kind of
misconduct you should be removed from office," said Norman Sabourin,
the Canadian Judicial Council's executive director, in an interview
with CBC News on Tuesday. "Assessing the gravity of a misconduct is a
difficult exercise."
Media placeholder
Canadian Judicial Council exec on review of judge's behaviour7:06
The overarching question in making that determination, the council
said, is whether the judge has the required confidence of the public
to continue to preside in court.
So when has the council recommended that a judge be removed? Here are
the two cases in which that happened. The details come from documents
available on the Canadian Judicial Council's website:
Paul Cosgrove, Ontario Superior Court
On April 22, 2004, Ontario's attorney general at the time, Michael
Bryant, asked the council to consider whether Judge Paul Cosgrove
should be removed from office based on his conduct in the murder trial
of Julia Yvonne Elliott.
The attorney general said Cosgrove had ordered an "unwarranted stay"
of proceedings.
Ontario judge resigns over misconduct
"The proceedings tarnished the administration of justice and turned
into an exercise of vilifying the state built on irrelevant,
inappropriate and harmful findings," Bryant wrote. "The proceedings
trivialized the charter and deprived society and the victim's family
of any semblance of justice."
The attorney general's complaint alleged that Cosgrove had
demonstrated similar behaviour in other court cases, citing Court of
Appeal findings that the judge had "reduced the proceedings to a
'procedural nightmare' for the Crown" and shown a "suspicious attitude
toward the government that caused him to misapprehend some of the
evidence before him."
On March 30, 2009, after a public inquiry, the Canadian Judicial
Council recommended that Cosgrove be removed from office. The judge
resigned the following month.
Jean Bienvenue, Superior Court of Quebec
In December 1995, the then attorneys general of Quebec and Canada,
Paul Bégin and Allan Rock, asked the Canadian Judicial Council for a
public inquiry into the conduct of Judge Jean Bienvenue during the
trial of Tracy Théberge, who was convicted of second-degree murder in
death of her husband.
According to the inquiry report, Bienvenue made offensive comments
about Jewish victims of the Holocaust and about women while sentencing
the accused.
"It is said that when women ascend the scale of virtues, they reach
higher than men, and I have always believed this. And it is also said,
and this too I believe, that when they decide to degrade themselves,
they sink to depths to which even the vilest man could not sink,"
Bienvenue said.
The judge also said: "At the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp in
Poland, which I once visited horror-stricken, even the Nazis did not
eliminate millions of Jews in a painful or bloody manner. They died in
the gas chambers, without suffering."
During the inquiry, Bienvenue argued that he had not meant to be
offensive and that he had met with the Canadian Jewish Congress. He
also issued a statement apologizing to women offended by his remarks.
On June 25, 1996, four out of five members of the Canadian Judicial
Council committee recommended that Bienvenue be removed from office.
They wrote, "We believe that if Mr. Justice Bienvenue were to preside
over a case, a reasonable and informed person... would have a
reasonable apprehension that the judge would not execute his office
with the objectivity, impartiality and independence that the public is
entitled to expect from a judge."
Bienvenue resigned before the recommendation went to Parliament.
What does the low number of removals mean?
The rarity of judges removing their peers from the bench is a
reflection of the value Canada places on an independent judiciary,
said Trevor Farrow, a professor and associate dean at Osgoode Hall Law
School in Toronto.
"Judges don't recommend removal lightly," he said. "That's a good
thing when you're balancing the requirement that judges have the
courage and independence to make tough choices in often really
challenging circumstances that involve vulnerable people."
At the same time, Farrow said, it's important that the Canadian
Judicial Council has "the power to recommend sanctions, including
removal if warranted, to maintain the public's trust and confidence."

Federal Court judge Robin Camp faces inquiry over sexual assault trial conduct
7-day public hearing will determine if judge who referred to rape
victim as 'the accused' can remain on bench
By Meghan Grant, CBC News Posted: Aug 31, 2016 6:15 PM MT
An inquiry begins Tuesday afternoon for a judge, formerly with Alberta
provincial court, who is facing dismissal from the Federal Court over
controversial comments directed at a sexual assault complainant in
2014.
Judge Robin Camp's 'insensitive, rude' comments not grounds for
dismissal: lawyer
The public hearing takes place before a panel of five — three superior
court judges and two senior lawyers — over the next week-and-a-half at
the Westin Hotel in downtown Calgary.
"These are public hearings, they're open and they're transparent,"
said Johanna Laporte with the Canadian Judicial Council (CJC).
"The council recognizes that public confidence in the justice system
can only be enhanced by these open proceedings and it's the council's
mandate to ensure that serious matters involving judges are thoroughly
investigated."
Robin Camp, who berated sex assault complainant, says counselling
will make him a better judge
Inquiry into Judge Robin Camp to hear from advocates for sex assault victims
Alberta Attorney General Kathleen Ganley forced the inquiry in January
after a complaint made by two law professors at the University of
Calgary and Dalhousie University.
After opening remarks by presenting counsel and Camp's lawyer,
intervenors — women's groups and sexual assault centres — will make
submissions and finally, the panel will hear from Camp himself, who
has previously indicated he plans to apologize.
Panel members will then deliberate before releasing a decision —
likely in written form — on whether or not Camp should remain on the
bench at the Federal Court.
"The inquiry is squarely tasked with determining if the facts
surrounding the complaint are serious enough to warrant the judge's
removal," said Laporte.
'Why didn't you just sink your bottom down'
During the 2014 trial, Camp asked the complainant "why couldn't you
just keep your knees together" during her testimony in his role as an
Alberta Provincial Court judge.
The then 19-year-old woman alleged she was raped by Alexander Scott
Wagar over a bathroom sink at a Calgary house party. Throughout the
trial, Camp repeatedly referred to her as "the accused."
"Why didn't you just sink your bottom down into the basin so he
couldn't penetrate you?" Camp asked the woman.
"That kind of comment goes back to the dinosaur age as far as I'm
concerned," said Danielle Aubry with Calgary Communities Against
Sexual Abuse.
Camp acquitted Wagar, but the Alberta Court of Appeal overturned the
ruling and ordered a new trial. By that time, Camp had been elevated
to the Federal Court.
"When you become a judge ... that's a privilege, it's a very high
position," said Aubry.
"It's incredulous to me that there are people sitting on the bench
that are not educating themselves about issues like sexual violence."
In ordering a new trial, the Court of Appeal wrote that the judge's
comments raised doubts about his understanding of sexual assault laws.
The Canadian Judicial Council received the initial complaint from four
law professors at Dalhousie University and the University of Calgary.
After that, dozens more flooded in.
Gender and sensitivity training
In his notice of response posted to the CJC website, Camp indicated
that he agrees his comments were "insensitive and inappropriate," but
says he has undergone gender and sensitivity training.
Camp arranged and paid for his sensitivity training himself, during
which he worked with a Superior Court judge, a psychologist and an
expert on the law of sexual assault.
He has indicated that he wishes to remain a judge.
The council members include Justice Austin Cullen, who will act as
chairperson, Justice Deborah Smith and Justice Raymond Whalen. The two
senior lawyers, Karen Jensen and Cynthia Petersen, were appointed by
the federal justice minister.
Since the CJC was created in 1971, only two judges have been
recommended for removal. but both ultimately resigned before
Parliament, which has the final say, made its decision.
Seven days have been set aside for the hearing but it is not expected
to run its allotted time. On Tuesday, it starts at 2 p.m. MT. but will
begin at 9 a.m. MT otherwise.

On Tuesday, McLellan confirmed she was briefed on the "Arar situation"
by RCMP Commissioner Giuliano Zaccardelli and former CSIS director
Ward Elcock.
But she said she only learned that the RCMP had passed along false
information on Arar to the U.S. when the O'Connor report was released
in late September.
The RCMP described Arar to U.S. authorities as an Islamic extremist
suspected of ties to al-Qaida, even though he was never more than a
"person of interest" in an RCMP national-security investigation.
"In my presence, (neither) Commissioner Zaccardelli, nor anyone else,
either from the RCMP or CSIS, (ever) referred to Mr. Arar as an
Islamic extremist," McLellan told a Commons public safety committee
that has been probing the Arar affair.
"That was an expression that was never used in relation to Mr. Arar in
my presence. Ever."
McLellan's statements appear to contradict assertions by Zaccardelli
that he briefed the government about the mistakes by the RCMP.
In an appearance before the same committee in late September,
Zaccardelli said he informed former solicitor general Wayne Easter
about the errors. The solicitor general was the minister in charge of
the RCMP before the position was abolished last year.
But last month, Easter testified that he was never so informed.
"There is no situation where the RCMP came to me and basically said,
'We screwed up. We provided improper information,’” he said at the
time.
Earlier this month, Elcock of CSIS also testified he did not learn of
the RCMP's mislabeling of Arar until after the O'Connor report was
released.
On Tuesday, McLellan described an environment in which concern about
the Arar affair reached to the top of the political ladder.
She said that soon after former prime minister Paul Martin took office
in December 2003, he asked her to "get to the bottom of what had
happened to Mr. Arar."
Ottawa Citizen
That was what Landslide Annie had to say about the RCMP before Dion
was picked as leader of the liberals aweek or so ago. Ask me what I
sent Wayne Easter as Paul Martin was being crowned as Humpty Dumpty
three years ago. Clearly I sent something EH?

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

Robin Camp case: What does it take to remove a judge from the bench?
Only two federally appointed judges recommended for dismissal since 1971
By Nicole Ireland, CBC News Posted: Nov 12, 2015 5:00 AM ET
The case of a judge who asked a woman, "Why couldn't you just keep
your knees together?" during an Alberta sexual assault trial is
raising questions about what kind of behaviour warrants removing a
justice from the bench.
Judge under review for berating sex assault complainant
Read the complaint against Justice Robin Camp
Only two judges have been recommended for removal by the Canadian
Judicial Council — a group of federally appointed judges tasked with
investigating complaints about their peers — since it was created in
1971.
Trevor Farrow
Trevor Farrow, associate dean at Osgoode Hall Law School in Toronto,
says it's 'a good thing' that judges don't lightly recommend
dismissing their peers. (Osgoode Hall Law School)
In both cases, the judges resigned before the recommendations made it
to Parliament, which ultimately decides whether or not to dismiss a
Canadian judge.
On Monday, the judicial council announced it was reviewing the conduct
of Robin Camp while he was an Alberta provincial court judge in 2014,
when he presided over a case involving a 19-year-old woman who alleged
she was sexually assaulted by a Calgary man during a house party.
According to the complaint that prompted the review, in addition to
the "keep your knees together" comment, Camp asked during the trial,
"Why didn't you just sink your bottom down into the basin so he
couldn't penetrate you?" (The woman alleged she was sexually assaulted
over a sink).
"At numerous points during the proceeding, Justice Camp was dismissive
of, if not contemptuous towards, the substantive law of sexual assault
and the rules of evidence," the complaint said. "In particular, he
showed disregard, if not disdain, for the rape shield provisions under
the Criminal Code, the legal definition of consent to sexual touching,
and the Criminal Code provision and case law regarding the doctrine of
recent complaint.
"His articulated disrespect for these legal rules was, in some
instances, combined with a refusal to apply them."
The Canadian Judicial Council must decide whether the complaint
against Camp, now a Federal Court judge, has merit and, if so, whether
it warrants the establishment of a review panel that could call a
public inquiry.
In the last four decades, the judicial council has ordered public
inquiries for 11 complaints against judges. Two of those inquiries are
still ongoing. In some cases, the judge resigned before the inquiry
was complete. For example, the late Judge Robert Flahiff was convicted
in 1999 for laundering money for a drug dealer back in the 1980s,
before he became a judge. He resigned before the judicial council
finished its inquiry.
Former Quebec judge convicted of money laundering dies
Convicted Quebec judge resigns
In other cases, the council recommended that the judges involved not
be removed from the bench — even if there had been inappropriate
conduct.
"It's not a fait accompli that if you have engaged in some kind of
misconduct you should be removed from office," said Norman Sabourin,
the Canadian Judicial Council's executive director, in an interview
with CBC News on Tuesday. "Assessing the gravity of a misconduct is a
difficult exercise."
Media placeholder
Canadian Judicial Council exec on review of judge's behaviour7:06
The overarching question in making that determination, the council
said, is whether the judge has the required confidence of the public
to continue to preside in court.
So when has the council recommended that a judge be removed? Here are
the two cases in which that happened. The details come from documents
available on the Canadian Judicial Council's website:
Paul Cosgrove, Ontario Superior Court
On April 22, 2004, Ontario's attorney general at the time, Michael
Bryant, asked the council to consider whether Judge Paul Cosgrove
should be removed from office based on his conduct in the murder trial
of Julia Yvonne Elliott.
The attorney general said Cosgrove had ordered an "unwarranted stay"
of proceedings.
Ontario judge resigns over misconduct
"The proceedings tarnished the administration of justice and turned
into an exercise of vilifying the state built on irrelevant,
inappropriate and harmful findings," Bryant wrote. "The proceedings
trivialized the charter and deprived society and the victim's family
of any semblance of justice."
The attorney general's complaint alleged that Cosgrove had
demonstrated similar behaviour in other court cases, citing Court of
Appeal findings that the judge had "reduced the proceedings to a
'procedural nightmare' for the Crown" and shown a "suspicious attitude
toward the government that caused him to misapprehend some of the
evidence before him."
On March 30, 2009, after a public inquiry, the Canadian Judicial
Council recommended that Cosgrove be removed from office. The judge
resigned the following month.
Jean Bienvenue, Superior Court of Quebec
In December 1995, the then attorneys general of Quebec and Canada,
Paul Bégin and Allan Rock, asked the Canadian Judicial Council for a
public inquiry into the conduct of Judge Jean Bienvenue during the
trial of Tracy Théberge, who was convicted of second-degree murder in
death of her husband.
According to the inquiry report, Bienvenue made offensive comments
about Jewish victims of the Holocaust and about women while sentencing
the accused.
"It is said that when women ascend the scale of virtues, they reach
higher than men, and I have always believed this. And it is also said,
and this too I believe, that when they decide to degrade themselves,
they sink to depths to which even the vilest man could not sink,"
Bienvenue said.
The judge also said: "At the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp in
Poland, which I once visited horror-stricken, even the Nazis did not
eliminate millions of Jews in a painful or bloody manner. They died in
the gas chambers, without suffering."
During the inquiry, Bienvenue argued that he had not meant to be
offensive and that he had met with the Canadian Jewish Congress. He
also issued a statement apologizing to women offended by his remarks.
On June 25, 1996, four out of five members of the Canadian Judicial
Council committee recommended that Bienvenue be removed from office.
They wrote, "We believe that if Mr. Justice Bienvenue were to preside
over a case, a reasonable and informed person... would have a
reasonable apprehension that the judge would not execute his office
with the objectivity, impartiality and independence that the public is
entitled to expect from a judge."
Bienvenue resigned before the recommendation went to Parliament.
What does the low number of removals mean?
The rarity of judges removing their peers from the bench is a
reflection of the value Canada places on an independent judiciary,
said Trevor Farrow, a professor and associate dean at Osgoode Hall Law
School in Toronto.
"Judges don't recommend removal lightly," he said. "That's a good
thing when you're balancing the requirement that judges have the
courage and independence to make tough choices in often really
challenging circumstances that involve vulnerable people."
At the same time, Farrow said, it's important that the Canadian
Judicial Council has "the power to recommend sanctions, including
removal if warranted, to maintain the public's trust and confidence."

Federal Court judge Robin Camp faces inquiry over sexual assault trial conduct
7-day public hearing will determine if judge who referred to rape
victim as 'the accused' can remain on bench
By Meghan Grant, CBC News Posted: Aug 31, 2016 6:15 PM MT
An inquiry begins Tuesday afternoon for a judge, formerly with Alberta
provincial court, who is facing dismissal from the Federal Court over
controversial comments directed at a sexual assault complainant in
2014.
Judge Robin Camp's 'insensitive, rude' comments not grounds for
dismissal: lawyer
The public hearing takes place before a panel of five — three superior
court judges and two senior lawyers — over the next week-and-a-half at
the Westin Hotel in downtown Calgary.
"These are public hearings, they're open and they're transparent,"
said Johanna Laporte with the Canadian Judicial Council (CJC).
"The council recognizes that public confidence in the justice system
can only be enhanced by these open proceedings and it's the council's
mandate to ensure that serious matters involving judges are thoroughly
investigated."
Robin Camp, who berated sex assault complainant, says counselling
will make him a better judge
Inquiry into Judge Robin Camp to hear from advocates for sex assault victims
Alberta Attorney General Kathleen Ganley forced the inquiry in January
after a complaint made by two law professors at the University of
Calgary and Dalhousie University.
After opening remarks by presenting counsel and Camp's lawyer,
intervenors — women's groups and sexual assault centres — will make
submissions and finally, the panel will hear from Camp himself, who
has previously indicated he plans to apologize.
Panel members will then deliberate before releasing a decision —
likely in written form — on whether or not Camp should remain on the
bench at the Federal Court.
"The inquiry is squarely tasked with determining if the facts
surrounding the complaint are serious enough to warrant the judge's
removal," said Laporte.
'Why didn't you just sink your bottom down'
During the 2014 trial, Camp asked the complainant "why couldn't you
just keep your knees together" during her testimony in his role as an
Alberta Provincial Court judge.
The then 19-year-old woman alleged she was raped by Alexander Scott
Wagar over a bathroom sink at a Calgary house party. Throughout the
trial, Camp repeatedly referred to her as "the accused."
"Why didn't you just sink your bottom down into the basin so he
couldn't penetrate you?" Camp asked the woman.
"That kind of comment goes back to the dinosaur age as far as I'm
concerned," said Danielle Aubry with Calgary Communities Against
Sexual Abuse.
Camp acquitted Wagar, but the Alberta Court of Appeal overturned the
ruling and ordered a new trial. By that time, Camp had been elevated
to the Federal Court.
"When you become a judge ... that's a privilege, it's a very high
position," said Aubry.
"It's incredulous to me that there are people sitting on the bench
that are not educating themselves about issues like sexual violence."
In ordering a new trial, the Court of Appeal wrote that the judge's
comments raised doubts about his understanding of sexual assault laws.
The Canadian Judicial Council received the initial complaint from four
law professors at Dalhousie University and the University of Calgary.
After that, dozens more flooded in.
Gender and sensitivity training
In his notice of response posted to the CJC website, Camp indicated
that he agrees his comments were "insensitive and inappropriate," but
says he has undergone gender and sensitivity training.
Camp arranged and paid for his sensitivity training himself, during
which he worked with a Superior Court judge, a psychologist and an
expert on the law of sexual assault.
He has indicated that he wishes to remain a judge.
The council members include Justice Austin Cullen, who will act as
chairperson, Justice Deborah Smith and Justice Raymond Whalen. The two
senior lawyers, Karen Jensen and Cynthia Petersen, were appointed by
the federal justice minister.
Since the CJC was created in 1971, only two judges have been
recommended for removal. but both ultimately resigned before
Parliament, which has the final say, made its decision.
Seven days have been set aside for the hearing but it is not expected
to run its allotted time. On Tuesday, it starts at 2 p.m. MT. but will
begin at 9 a.m. MT otherwise.

No need to Bitch.
I am about to sue ya anyway but you did receive the same material that
everybody else got by email anyway. However now I will now forward the
other emails that various silly servants got after I had had many
talks with your incompetant and malicious assistants within the
Commission over the past two years. It seems that I had to insult you
and bust you in front of your friends to finally get a response from
you.
Furthermore on August 2nd I sent you your material byway of the US
Mail which was received and signed for. It was hard copy of my
concerns and allegations about you being in bed with the corrupt old
bastard Zack of the RCMP. I also sent a copy of wiretap tape # 139.
Instead of you acting within the scope of your employment you go on
vacation and bury your head in the sand while the RCMP assisted the
Yankees in throwing my wife and kids into the street without due
process of law?
Well your head may be in still the sand but you just stuck your arse
high up in the air. It is high time for me to give it a boot before
you stick it up Zack's ass in a vain effort to appear that you have
integrity after all. The following is the text of that letter and
after that is the US Mail's confirmation of when it was sent and
received by you.
Say hey to McLachlin for me will ya? Tell her I will be suing her too.
She has been covering up for the crooked Newfy Judge Dereck Green for
way past too long. To hell with lawyers appointed as commissioners and
other lawyers appointed as judges. From my point of view they were
only appointed to cover up public corruption. I look forward to
meeting the likes of you in court and arguing you on the public
record. You just proved for me that most lawyers ain't that smart. You
should have continued to play dumb Bitch. At least then you could have
blamed your assistants for not telling you what you obviously know.
however if you had done so, I would have pointed to the fact that you
are their supervisor and therefore ultimatly responsible. Everybody
else knows that the RCMP are as crooked as hell, so do you. call me a
liar now. I double dog dare ya.

Mail which was received and signed for. It was hard copy of my
concerns and allegations about you being in bed with the corrupt old
bastard Zack of the RCMP. I also sent a copy of wiretap tape # 139.
Instead of you acting within the scope of your employment you go on
vacation and bury your head in the sand while the RCMP assisted the
Yankees in throwing my wife and kids into the street without due
process of law?
Well your head may be in still the sand but you just stuck your arse
high up in the air. It is high time for me to give it a boot before
you stick it up Zack's ass in a vain effort to appear that you have
integrity after all. The following is the text of that letter and
after that is the US Mail's confirmation of when it was sent and
received by you.
Say hey to McLachlin for me will ya? Tell her I will be suing her too.
She has been covering up for the crooked Newfy Judge Dereck Green for
way past too long. To hell with lawyers appointed as commissioners and
other lawyers appointed as judges. From my point of view they were
only appointed to cover up public corruption. I look forward to
meeting the likes of you in court and arguing you on the public
record. You just proved for me that most lawyers ain't that smart. You
should have continued to play dumb Bitch. At least then you could have
blamed your assistants for not telling you what you obviously know.
however if you had done so, I would have pointed to the fact that you
are their supervisor and therefore ultimatly responsible. Everybody
else knows that the RCMP are as crooked as hell, so do you. call me a
liar now. I double dog dare ya.

Right Honourable Beverley McLachlin, Shirley Heafey Chair of Commission
C/o Norman Sabourin General Counsel and for Public Complaints against the RCMP

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

Just so you know, there was no message attached to the e-mail sent to
me. SO, in fact, I don't know what you think I should now know. Try
again.

CSIS can never say they didn't know. This should put Shirley Heafey's
panties in a knot when she get back from her vacation. I can only
wonder what Ms. Longo of the RCMP is saying about now.

It wasn't on Saturday, the kids were 'supposedly' last seen at Dollarama on Thursday, on which account you believe. Janie Mackenzie saw them on Friday morning playing. MBM contacted the school just after 6am to inform them the kids were sick. The timeline doesn't add up imo. I need to go back & check the details. Don't quote me on this. Nobody talks about Thursday as it was an ordinary day according to DM. Fixed the fence et al. I'm not buying the inconsistencies in the Sullivan kids. The Rcmp should take these cases seriously ![⚖]()
