All Canadians should know well the astonishing activity (the
criminal activity?) undertaken by political, legal, and police power against
Mike Duffy, a Canadian senator … over what is now four years. The Civil
Case he is conducting (with lawyer Lawrence Greenspon) against the Canadian
Senate and the Attorney General of Canada for wrongs done to him is not a signal
that “justice is being done” in my opinion, but a dramatic indication that the
rule of law in Canada has collapsed before our eyes.
Personal wrongs done to him should
be remedied (by financial restitution and penalty) - in a Civil Case, no
doubt. But before that, full investigation and Criminal Charges (where
warranted) against the host of wrong-doers should prepare the way for Civil
remedies. The wrongs committed in the Mike Duffy Affair are equally (if not
first of all), in my opinion, wrongs done to Canada and the Canadian
people.
In terms of RCMP behaviour (and its
political, legal support) – the investigation of Duffy to prepare the
thirty-one criminal charges against him (all dismissed!) was
conducted by the RCMP. Most revealing (unfortunately) is the fact that it
repeats an almost common structure of (what I believe is) RCMP corrupt practice
stretching back, at least, to the famous (B.C.) Gustafsen Lake Standoff in
1995, and including (what I describe as) the fake trial to destroy B.C. premier
Glen Clark, running 136 days and ending in 2002 with the complete denial by the
judge of any wrong-doing on his part and dismissal of the volumes of “evidence”
gathered by the RCMP … on to the audacious RCMP cooperation (I argue)
with corruption in the BC Rail Scandal (2002-2010), to the on-going,
RCMP-created, enacted, and investigated 2013, July First, fake Islamic
Terrorist Event at the B.C. legislature grounds involving hundreds of RCMP
actors from British Columbia through RCMP Headquarters in Ottawa (and, perhaps,
(?) into the PMO and onto the desk of Prime Minister, at the time, Stephen
Harper). Commissioner of the RCMP at that time (and at the time of the
Duffy fiasco) was Bob Paulson who is (surprisingly?), now, taking early
retirement, having arrived at the age of 58 years.
In both the fraudulent Victoria
Islamic terrorist event and in the Mike Duffy entrapment I believe innocent
victims were used in a much larger criminal scenario to satisfy political
agendas almost wholly unrelated to the lives, the understanding, the
intentions, the integrity, and the capabilities of the entrapped. In both, RCMP
“investigation” provided the basis for the (alleged) false criminal charges.
In all the cases
cited above, the RCMP was central to the “investigation” and to the formation
of charges which in all cases, I would say, may be termed “fake” or especially
twisted to serve corrupt ends.

As difficult (and unpalatable) as it
is to face, the present role of the RCMP (there are other indicators, of
course) points to deeply implanted Fascism in Canada. [Fascism may be
defined as the erasure of democratic government by private, clandestine (and/or
foreign) forces which become, in fact, government and which turn the
instruments of government (and policing powers) to their own uses – inside and
outside the law – especially in the accumulation of wealth and power and the
removal/erasure (however brutally) of people and other impediments to their policies
and goals].
In “The Mike Duffy Case” he had (see
the “Reasons for Judgement” of Justice Charles H. Vaillancourt, Ontario Court
of Justice, April 21, 2016) been informed by Prime Minister Stephen Harper that
appointment as a Senator for Prince Edward Island made his property there his
primary residence. That “truth” was backed by all those in authority he
consulted. When that came into public question – the Harper Machine
feared public disapproval, loss of the control of government and the ability to
serve its real masters. And so major actors in the Prime Minister’s
Office (possessing nearly one hundred employees!), in the Conservative Senate
structure, and in the government-ruled ‘Mainstream Press and Media’ … and the
RCMP … turned to the vilification, the de-legitimization, and (ending
with 31 criminal charges) the criminalization of Mike Duffy … in order to
destroy him and to demonstrate to the Canadian people the eagerness of the
Harper-led Conservatives to assure the probity of public servants.
LEGAL AND CORRUPT COURTS: Canadian Anti-Corruption League's Royce Hamer
Clearly, in the minds of many
reasonable Canadians – crimes, however named or categorized, were committed
against Mike Duffy by the ruling Conservative political Establishment, by
actual people in the Prime Minister’s Office (including – who knows? – perhaps
Stephen Harper, Prime Minister), by some members of the leadership of the
Senate’s Conservative Caucus, by some officers (and perhaps (?) the
Commissioner, Bob Paulson) of the RCMP, and by others who assisted in the
framing and the prosecution of false charges against Mr. Duffy, placed against
him, almost certainly, maliciously and with intention to do him serious harm.
What has been the response to what I
believe is a gigantic criminal undertaking? What steps have been taken to
investigate and charge criminally the major actors in what I firmly believe was
a web of criminal activity? No steps have been taken. None. No
admission has been made anywhere in circles of political and legal power in
Canada (that I know of) that major criminal behaviour has probably occurred at
the highest levels of government activity.
The government in power has changed
from Conservative to Liberal since all the moves were taken to criminalize Mike
Duffy. Canadians must be puzzled. Why has the Liberal government led by
Justin Trudeau done nothing to investigate and confront the alleged criminal
actions of its predecessor government? Why would the Liberal government
in power want to protect possible criminals at the heart of the previous
Conservative government? Why would the present Liberal government want to
protect the RCMP from the criminal investigation that is crying out to be
undertaken in relation to its activities on more than one front?
The only answer can be that the
present Liberal government of Canada possesses the same values, serves the same
interests, and feels the same contempt for Canada and Canadians as the former
government did – and, as well, wants a criminal national police force for
Liberal government use.
That fact shines a bright light on
the advanced state of ‘operative fascism’ in Canada. Friends of power,
political operatives in place, supporting employees of political operatives in
place, the policing structure (in this case the RCMP), the formulators of
criminal charges (prosecution staff), and the actors for the Crown in the
Ontario Court of Justice – ALL, I firmly believe, should be facing, now,
criminal investigation with a view, where reasonable, to facing criminal
charges. Justice Charles H. Vaillancourt, who dismissed all thirty-one criminal
charges against Senator Duffy in a trial stretching from April 7, 2015 to the
presentation of Reasons for Judgement on April 21, 2016, presents a very
special case … deserving a long, single study. I will make only a few
comments here on his work.
Why the Justice System Isn't Working in Canada
Justice Vaillancourt boldly
“threw out” all 31 criminal charges against Mr. Duffy, expressing his distaste
for all those who acted unfairly against the accused. But at no time in
his written judgement does Justice Vaillancourt suggest Mr. Duffy has been
acted against criminally – using the words ‘criminal’ or ‘criminally’.
At paragraph 995 (p. 239), Justice
Vaillancourt writes (approvingly) of Defence lawyer Donald Bayne’s contention
that ”Wright, Novak, Woodcock, Rogers” and “Tkachuk, LeBreton, Stewart-Olsen, Gerstein”,
were related to “the secret approaches by unauthorized political operatives to
direct a script for the [independent] auditor” [that was] “highly improper,
unethical and dishonest”. “Yet”, writes Justice Vaillancourt (in his own words,
I believe) “that is exactly what [those people] conspired to do. (my
italics). Conspiracy is covered as a major crime in the Canadian Criminal Code
… but Justice Vaillancourt doesn’t hint that is so.
At paragraph 1090 (pp. 264-5)
Justice Vaillancourt reports, approvingly, Mr. Baynes contention that “The only
ones having an elevated corrupt purpose here were the conspiring members of the
PMO and their Senate leadership collaborators who acted out, and coerced onto
Senator Duffy a political damage control ‘scenario’ to protect the Prime
Minister and his government from political scandal”.
The acts (largely through emails)
that those just mentioned conspired to do [my italics], brings
[paragraph 1037, p. 247] comment from Justice Vaillancourt: “The political,
covert, relentless, unfolding of events is mindboggling and shocking”. In
a strange further comment (paragraph 1038, p. 247) Justice Vaillancourt
writes: “… in the context of a democratic society, the plotting as
revealed in the emails can only be described as unacceptable. Putting
aside the legalities with respect to some of the maneuvers undertaken and the
intensity of the operations…,” he asks why the PMO was doing what it was doing
when it may have believed Duffy had not acted improperly. But … we may
ask … what is a Justice of the Ontario Court of Justice doing “putting aside
the legalities” (my italics) – which, incidentally, he never returns to in
that context?

Should he not be saying (for the
notice of the Canadian public and Law Enforcement bodies) that this behaviour –
and much other behaviour involved in the trial - points to criminal activity
that must receive attention from the proper authorities without further delay?
Justice Vaillancourt writes that the plotters “conspired” to do “unacceptable”
plotting, and that “the political, covert, relentless unfurling of events is
mindboggling and shocking.” It may very well be also, I suggest …
criminal. And I suggest Justice Vaillancourt should have made that clear,
instead of “putting aside the legalities….”
Nothing whatever has been done by
the Liberal government led by Justin Trudeau as Prime Minister to right the
wrongs done to Mr. Duffy and to investigate and where appropriate punish the
criminal actions undertaken against him in violation of the rule of law that
protects all Canadians. As a result of the wholesale failure of the
federal Liberal government to fulfill its duty to the rule of law in Canada, Mr
Duffy (with his lawyer Lawrence Greenspon) is forced to enter (what I believe
is) a desolating Civil Case against a government that can use an endless army
of Ministry of Justice lawyers and a bottomless well of taxpayers’ money to
stall, hinder, delay, frustrate, impede, vitiate, prolong, and otherwise make
inoperable the just action undertaken by Senator Duffy to seek a remedy for the
egregious wrongs done to him.
The fact that the Government of
Canada intends to fight against the claims of Mr. Duffy – instead of, itself,
setting on foot investigations of the probable criminal actions called for from
the Duffy trial and the rulings of Justice Vaillancourt - points convincingly
to a conclusion that the present Liberal government led by Justin Trudeau
approves of government-inspired criminality and approves of the RCMP as an
organized criminal body. And so one may fairly entitle this piece:
“Justice in (Fascist) Canada”.
The fact is that Mike Duffy – after
years of insult, abuse, and falsely-lodged criminal actions – must now, in his
own name and person, attempt to gain some restitution for what are almost
certainly major and continuing criminal actions deeply damaging to Canadian
democracy and the rule of law in Canada by government representatives, members
of the political bureaucracy, members of the RCMP, and members of the Canadian
legal profession (to name only some involved). Criminal charges have not
been laid – nor do possible criminal acts even seem to be under investigation
by the Canadian State – “the Crown”. That inaction cries out for
Canadians - in partnership with their organizations across the country - to
force action upon the Trudeau cabinet which seems wholly at ease (indeed very
happy) with an existence as the dominant political power in a Fascist Regime.
