Democracy Does Not Exist in Canada

You are about to read a true story of a covert action taken against a Canadian citizen by the Liberal Party of Canada under former Prime Minister Paul Martin.

He gave orders to do whatever is necessary to destroy or rid Canada of a lone journalist who wrote against the attack on Iraq. The proof needed to avoid the invasion was in the hands of a UN inspector Scott Ritter. He was ignored by the media with two exceptions. Democracy NOW! broadcast several interviews with him. This writer did not believe the corporate media or paid expert lies. From 2002 to today did anyone find any WMDs in Iraq? When did the mushroom clouds appear, other than in a delusional mind of a US Supreme Court appointed, President of the US? Every so-called journalist in Canada buried their heads in the sand and apparently no one told them to come out.


Orders were given directly from PM Paul Martin to shut down a dissenting voice. His cruelty will send shivers down your spine. He wanted disparately to involve Canada in the illegal US invasion and destruction of Iraq and it's citizens. One voice, read by millions, would stop his dream of fame and glory in Canada. That same voice would bring the Liberal Party to its knees, with a reported scandal, dropped into the hands of the easily manipulated media.

His attack on me began in early 2002 and continued for four years. Then Deputy Prime Minister, the Honourable Anne McLellan his messenger, would threaten me twice. "Stop writing against the illegal invasion of Iraq or suffer the consequences" were her words to me. The same woman I worked tirelessly to have elected in Edmonton Center. She would never have won the election without the full support of the gay and lesbian community. I was the managing editor of an Edmonton based gay and lesbian volunteer publication called Times 10 Magazine.

A dog gets better treatment than most Canadians. For those who believe there is a difference with PM Justin Trudeau in office you are ignis fatuus.

The Liberal Party of Canada is rotten to the core. A political group of thieves and liars are now in charge of Canada. Their capacity for deceit, treachery, disloyalty and dishonor is all that remains of a political party lost in its own deception.

Every word I say has the backing of the people who offered help during the final weeks. I was being forced by the Court to hand my nearly paid for condo to ATB Financial . In words, face to face with CSIS, "...the order came from the PM with a virus attached to my name on the government of Canada's computers. Every time you responded to an inquiry up to 9 letters a day were sent to you from various departments. You really p***d him off..."

PM Justin Trudeau is window dressing for the cash donors to the Liberal Party of Canada. Worms are feasting on the remnants. This is the political party that once had the 1957 Nobel Peace Prize winner, PM Lester B. Pearson, as its helm.

I followed the orders of a wise attorney and the words of CSIS. Very ill, penniless and homeless I vanished onto the streets for six years.

Our Charter of Rights and Freedoms clearly states:

freedom of thought, belief, opinion and expression, including freedom of the press and other media of communication.

To be presumed innocent until proven guilty according to law in a fair and public hearing by an independent and impartial tribunal.

Everyone has the right not to be subjected to any cruel and unusual treatment or punishment.

My rights were replaced with cruel and unusual punishment by the Liberal Party of Canada under orders from the "Right Honourable" Prime Minister Paul Martin.

We live in an illusion created by the giant corporate media owners. Most people sincerely believe our system has something to do with democracy. I ask: "Other than the selected days for voting, when do you have any input into decisions enacted by bureaucrats, and elected officials?"

Yes, there might be an open house, where you can have input on a neighborhood concern. A plan for the neighborhood is already drafted by the administration before you arrive. Democracy is more than laws and rules enacted without input from the citizens.

My Opinion differs from the Media Version of Democracy

A short background on how Canadians were feeling during the 1960s and early 1970s. The Liberal government introduced the Canada Pension Plan.  A tremendous feeling of national pride grew with the rising of a distinctive Canadian Flag. Canadians participated as the country looked for its own personality at home and on the world stage.

With the cooperation between the Liberals and New Democrats a Universal Healthcare plan was finalized. Late in the 1960s, Justice Minister Pierre Trudeau, proclaimed "there's no place for the state in the bedrooms of the nation". This was the uniquely Canadian classical version of democracy.

The final move towards a more democratic country came with the Charter of Rights and Freedoms in 1982 by Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau. The debates raged widely as the provincial governments sought more power than democracy. Democracy begins to fail when self-interest and corporations cast the people aside.

The Aim of Terrorist Laws is to Annihilate the Citizen's Rights

As I said earlier in this article I considered it my right to voice my opposition to war. During the months after the 9/11 attack we heard the attackers were Saudi in origin. Who convinced countries, especially NATO members, to attack Afghanistan and then Iraq? Why didn't the US military go to the source and bomb the Saudi Royal Family into oblivion?

I wrote in an editorial printed in late January 2003: "I have heard from many of my American friends who are terrified to write anything against the current powers in Washington for fear of their lives. Remember Bin Laden is from a wealthy Saudi family. The voice of reason is silenced in the United States. Canada is not far behind as new terrorist laws are put in place..." Many more editorials were written along the same line with one titled Dear Paul aimed directly at Prime Minister Paul Martin Jr.

Hundreds of letters, from various Canadian government departments, began arriving daily day as I wrote against illegal wars. An audit of my businesses took place in mid 2004 by Revenue Canada. At a cost of over $100,000.00 the auditors found I owed the government $88.00 over the previous 7 years. The head auditor said: "I have no idea what we are doing auditing your companies. We received an urgent memo from Ottawa to get it done immediately."

When the statement for $88.00 arrived it included a $15,000.00 fine. The letters were now arriving at a rate of 9-12 a day and so were the phone calls. Imagine owning three businesses and having a phone for each plus a cell phone for yourself. Every phone was being bombarded with calls from multiple government departments night and day.

The meetings with Deputy Prime Minister Anne McLellan (also Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Canada) turned into shouting matches. She is also on of the politicians who helped draft up the 2003 anti-terrorist legislation. As far as I was concerned she had lost control of her senses.

In August 2004 under a lot of stress I went for a bicycle ride in the River Valley. On a trail I rode thousands of time a pile of gravel was on the path as I moved rode a sharp corner. One person later told me I must have flown over 4 meters (approx 15') before hitting the pavement flat on my back.  Six ribs were broken, one third of one lung kept me alive, shoulder and collar bones shattered into pieces, bones flew out of my body with blood everywhere. Thankfully many years earlier an Edmonton police officer talked to me about wearing a good bicycle helmet.

Six days in ICU with a few weeks in the hospital left me feeling out of this world. My businesses were in trouble and so was I. The day I was taken home, there on my desk sat a small cardboard box, full of letters from the government. (one of them claimed I had not reported income from a schooner in Nova Scotia) A new business, supposed to open a few months earlier, was also in financial trouble. On the table was a bill from the City of Edmonton amounting to $300.00 for using an ambulance. Goodbye Universal Healthcare thanks to the corporations and US interference in Canada.

The all volunteer magazine was kept in print with funds from business supporters and my businesses. Former PM Paul Martin kept turning up the pressure. On New Years Eve I locked the doors and walked away from two of the businesses. The last print issue of the all volunteer magazine was released in July 2005. We had started an online version in 1994. It remained online with many contributing articles and editorials until 2007.

Every time I was hired the job lasted 4-5 weeks without reason. The letters kept arriving from the federal government. The fine rose to $28,000.00 for not paying the $88.00 on time. My condo was almost paid for with a balance of $42,000.00 and had an appraised value of $225,000.00. Alberta Treasury Bank (ATB), where I had accounts for business plus my mortgage, told me they did not see any reason to assist me as my funds dried up. Alberta Treasury Bank (ATB) was handed $102,000.00 by the Federal Government kangaroo Court.

CSIS said "...the order came from the PM.."

My mind was in the mood to end my own life. You had to be there to see the so-called friends abandon the ship. The community I helped grow and spread it's wings were long gone.

The Judge was bewildered. "I have an order from the federal government..." They along with Alberta Treasury Bank  a government owned financial organization took all of the proceeds and tossed me on the street. Two doctors and one psychiatrist wrote up reports diagnosing me with PTSD. It made no difference to the tainted, and prejudiced judicial system in Canada, doing the bidding of the Queen of England.

"I, .., do swear that I will be faithful and bear true allegiance to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth the Second, Queen of Canada, Her Heirs and Successors. So help me God." Every elected and non-elected Canadian government official, including the judicial system, must swear an Oath of Allegiance to a person in a foreign country. Had I have been there when Benjamin Franklin asked Quebec along with Upper and Lower Canada to join the Union, he would have had a promoter, to rid us of the parasitic monarchy in England.

What Rights do You Have Today?

It is my hope you will realize you do not live in a democracy. When Bill C-51 became an election issue it was the Liberal Party of Canada who supported it under the leadership of PM Justin Trudeau. It allows a government official the right to do whatever they deem necessary, without a warrant, without a charge, without a trial to anyone who disagrees with their policies on any topic. Your elected officials, and unelected bureaucrats, have become your judge and jury. The people are silenced using the same methods used by Stalin in the former Soviet Union (USSR).

You  should know what the government did to the people protesting at the G-20 meeting in Toronto and the Occupy Movement in the United States. Now you have an example of what a Prime Minister can do to an individual without charge, warrant or trial.

The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights are meaningless words without an honest judicial system. Your rights are being violated and censored every hour of the day without your knowledge or consent.

After World War II  the UN Declaration was put in place to grant every citizen freedoms and prevent wars. When any country wants to become a member of the United Nations their signature should be required on the UN Declaration of Human Rights. There are too many examples to list of countries violating the International Laws they agreed too by signing the Declaration.

Why does it happen? 

The International Criminal Court is ignored due to politicians from most of the US-led NATO nations. Canada is a member of today's murderous NATO and continues its' armed blitz with the media remaining silent. You can find the reason why NATO was formed in the Cold War Museum under Warsaw Pact.

This article was re-written to remove repetitive material from two earlier articles I published.

"Cease then to call yourselves religious, lest you declare to the world your hypocrisy. Cease too to call other nations savage, when you are tenfold more the children of cruelty than they. I bow to no man for I am considered a prince among my own people. But I will gladly shake your hand."

The Canada Pension Promise

I would hope by now you are happy with the Liberal plan, in Budget 2016 and 2017, to eliminate poverty with an increase to the Canada Pension Plan. (CPP)

In a nutshell the CPP is made up of several plans all in one or nothing at all:

• Canada Pension Plan for those who contributed


• Old Age Security


• Guaranteed Income Supplement


• Provincial Benefit Plans

Your Investments reduce all of the above as punishment for thinking ahead. You get to pay taxes on the interest and pay taxes a second time when your withdraw money. On top of those insults your CPP+ benefits decrease. Company Pension Plans can reduce or eliminate most of the above.

If you worked for the government at any level, you need not worry, since those wealthy pensions are funded by the taxpayer.

The word poverty is used 13 times in the 271 page edition of Budget. Three times when mentioning seniors in Canada. The same people who worked and find themselves facing a convoluted pension plan after 60 plus years.

Anyone who worked had best prepare yourself for the usual $7.00 per month pension increase in July. In fact, their was a one-time increase of $72.00 in July, 2017 and it disappeared the following month. Most did receive $5.76 as a monthly increase based on someone's idea of inflation. The inflation rate does not include food, transportation or rental increases except for Member's of Parliament and the ever more useless unelected Senate in Canada.

Examples of a large increase, used in Budget 2016-17, were meant to get you excited. The empire of bureaucracies is hoping the thrill will eliminate payments due to heart attacks.


Yet another meaningless promise to the millions of seniors in poverty from the Liberal government under Justin Trudeau

Canada signed onto the Millennium Poverty Goals at the United Nations. Sadly reports in Canada base the poverty line on the Low Income Cutoff or LIM. Statistics Canada has made it very clear LIM is not a measure of poverty in Canada. The second false premise about poverty is the use of Line 150 on the Income Tax Return. Total Income on Line 150 includes  non-taxable supplements.

Poverty and low-income should be using Total Taxable Income on Line 260.

We do need concerned politicians who are willing to understand low-income and poverty for every Canadian.
