Hi Star Chamber Proceedings,
I find this all very interesting and informative. Thank you for letting Canadians know about the injustices. Take care
chat soon James

Canadians are so busy working to pay taxes and raise their families that they do not have the time to read about the injustice within the administration of justice in Canada. When I first started posting there were no responses and this was discouraging. I continued after finding your site, injusticebusters, Dirty Justice and the many other internet sites that collectively are making a difference in Canada. My blog is a spoke on a rolling wheel gaining speed to justice in Canada. I believe that the web sites of ordinary working class Canadians seeking and exposing injustice need to be organised and linked together in support of internet sites like the Canadian Justice Review Board. My blog is exposing injustice, corrupt lawyers and judges in Saskatoon. The corruption extends to the highest levels within the administration of justice in Canada. I am exposing injustice on my blog from the bottom up, the Canadian Justice Review Board it is exposing corruption from the top down. If there is going to be change in Canada it can only come from the top down.

Canadians are posting and Blogging their stories of injustice in increasing numbers, it is discouraging at first when they see that they have joined hundreds of their fellow Canadians Blogging for justice. It is sites like yours Holly, injusticebusters and the stories of courage that give Canadians hope.

I have been persecuted for over 5 years now by corrupt lawyers and judges. I have a friend with my power of attorney who deals with the lawyers, my lawyers can do nothing for fear of retaliation, this has cost me over $16.000.00 in lawyers fees most of it being borrowed money. I have been put into the hospital, left crawling on the floor of the court house after my doctors letters were dismissed as hearsay. I have resisted going on to welfare. I used the utilities and house tax money to travel to the Vancouver Hospital in July to see a movement disorders doctor at UBC. I have just survived another court motion with no other propose then to again run my legal bill up.

My lawyer asked me to contact my doctor for a letter for the court and I did not know how to ask him. I sent a email to my friend and he faxed the below email to my doctor. I removed my doctors names.

My lawyer has asked me in a letter to supply the following:

“Please provide us with any medical documents to support your argument that you are too disabled to attend court.”

I have never made a claim that I am too disabled to attend court. I can, and I have been at all the court procedures. I was at the pre-trial with my head close to being on my right shoulder, Dr --------’s letter to the court asking for a postponement until after my Botox injection was ignored. This is not some lame excuse to avoid court. I was at emergency getting a morphine injection after court.

I arrived at the first trial and ended up on the court house floor for about twenty minutes. My eyes were closed, I was twisted up in pain unable to get up. I am expected to represent myself? The pain, nausea and muscle seizures left me unable to function, I had very little control over my movements, the more I twisted up, the more pain I was in leaving me unable to communicate. I can not find the right words to speak. It is not short term memory loss. It only makes my pain worse when I am not allowed to use my knowledge to control my disability. People helping by wanting to phone an ambulance and the like does not help me. When I can not communicate that I do not need an ambulance, I need to be left alone so I can relax and use my knowledge to control my disability. For me to be placed in a situation that I am not capable of doing because of my disability is fighting and devastating.

I was turned down by legal aid. At the second trial I asked the court for a representative. This was supported by your letter (my doctor) and a letter from Dr ------- both in support of a representative. The judge dismissed your letter and Dr -------'s letter as here say and demanded that I represent myself. I am unable to represent myself. I can also not be placed in a situation where I know my health will be in jeopardy. I know what would have happened to me if Gerry did not get me out of the court room.

Gerry ---- has expressed his concerns to me about my going to court again. He said “I am afraid of what will happen to you in court.” I will go to court, there is no reason that I can not go to court, my disability does not prevent me going to court, it prevents me from representing myself.

I do not know why I can not represent myself. I do not understand what happens to me. I do know what helps, I have learned this, and in some cases the hard way over the years. I have learned what to do and what not to do. At times over the past 5 years I have been in pain that was unbearable, I have woken up on the floor and in bed laying in yellow vomit and urine unable to move because of seized muscles and leg, lower back, neck and head pain.

One morning last week when I wore up at 3 AM I was freezing in bed, I was sweating all over, sometimes it is just my head and fore arms that are sweating, I was going to be sick, I was unable to move my head, any head movement caused neck pain, my lower legs and feet were numb with a burning pain, same for my fore arms and now I am unable to move my arms without pain. I twisting up and this twisting up is what increases my pain, I vomited in the bed again.

There was no point in my phoning for help, even if I was able to, I would have killed for a morphing injection when I woke up. If I can get out of bed and move around this helps. When I started to twist up in bed it is the same as what happened to me in the court house. It has been happening to me to some degree all my life. Many times in the past I have spent up to three days in bed unable to move. I have crawled around on the floor for three days unable to get into bed or my wheelchair. There is nothing a doctor can do to help me except to prescribe morphine that leaves me fatigued and feeling sick. What is difficult for me is not my knowing that I have Torsion Dystonia and that there is no cure, it is that I feel that no one gives a damn about my grandchildren and their future.

I need a lawyer in court, if the order stays as it is I will lose everything that I paid for and my only means of supporting myself, my house. It is not just the injustice of having my assets sold. Where will I go, how will I pack my belongings, how will I move, I have no money, my income is $340.00 plus under $200.00 per month from welfare. I will be on the floor in the court house without a lawyer, and with a lawyer if the order stands I will be on the floor laying in yellow vomit and urine again. Without help from a medical doctor willing to write a detailed report for the court saying why my disability leaves me unable to represent myself I do not know what I can do. The lawyer is asking for a report saying why I can not attend court, if I am represented by a lawyer I do not see why I can not attend and I want to be in court. I will have some problems going to court, I have problems going anywhere, but I can just go into the hall if I need too.

Gerry, I do not see why I would have to detail to the doctor why I can not represent myself in court. I think this will be plain to him.


My doctor supplied an affidavit below for my lawyer that was filed in court.

3. Mr. Hunter suffers from neurological disorder known as idiopathic torsion dystonia.

4. Mr. Hunter's condition has not responded to a wide variety of treatments.

Page 2
5. The condition manifests itself as asymmetric contractures of the neck, spine and limbs which cause impairment to Mr. Hunter's posture and movement. These contractures are frequently very painful. The severity of the contractures is variable and is exacerbated by psychological stress.

6. I am able to provide the opinion that while Mr. Hunter may be able to attend at Court, the stress of the proceedings can cause Mr. Hunter painful contractures which will render him incapable of testifying.

Hopefully my days of crawling around on the court house floor are over. My doctor in Vancouver said that there has been some success for dystonia suffers with a new procedure called Deep Brain Stimulation. Holly! They drill two holes into my brain when I am awake, I would have to have holes in my head to even consider this. I have been referred to another doctor at the Vancouver Hospital at UBC and have an appointment on October 27th. I am on welfare and waiting to see if my trip to the Hospital in Vancouver will be paid for. Keep your fingers crossed for me.

I have tried to not get into this all judges, police officers, social workers, politicians and lawyers are corrupt in Canada. This is just not true. Many of them are leaving the professions across Canada, without the support of Canadians many more will follow leaving an increasing rotten core.

This is all your fault Holly, you and those people at injusticebusters and all the others that have given me hope by Blogging for justice. I will wheel my chair to Vancouver if I have to. Thank you.

Canadian Justice Review Board





Canadian Justice Review Board

There has been a steady almost daily increase in the number of Canadians posting stories on the internet about injustice in Canada. Sadly many of our fellow Canadians did not receive any help and a growing number of them are committing suicide.

...we recognize that this is just the start of a long road...

I have been asked many times, "What can I do to help?" I did not have an answer.

This is the same response Canadians receive from their MP, MLA, the media and others they contact for help. It is a unspoken silent response that has resulted in increased frustration and anger for many Canadians. I do not know of one elected MP or MLA who is speaking out about judicial corruption in Canada.

There are many excellent internet sites in Canada detailing the injustice suffered by Canadians ranging from wrongful convictions, judicial corruption, family law, injured workers and many more.

I found two sites that were advocating change, not just talking about the injustice, doing something about it. The two sites were: The Canadian Justice Review Board (CJRB) and The Honourable Senator Anne C. Cools website.




Senator Cools was recently elected to the board of directors of the Canadian Justice Review Board (CJRB). Chairman David A. Kahn noted that, "While we may take satisfaction from our progress, we recognize that this is just the start of a long road." With the election of Senator Cools to the board of directors the road became a lot shorter.

Now ask me again, "What can I do to help?" Please read the highlights on the CJRB home page and Senator Cools speeches. On the CJRB home page you will find directions on how to become an associate member. Invest $20.00 or more and help shorten the road to your childrens, and your grandchildrens future in a Canada free of judicial and political corruption.

I have included the highlights listed on the Canadian Justice Review Board home page and links to some of Senator Cools speeches on her web site.

A retrospective on where the collapse of the Canadian justice system began: the Law Society's attitude is that if the law schools maintain no academic standards, why should they? By Ian Hunter

RCMP should investigate judicial appointments for corruption. Out of an estimated 20 or so lawyers who volunteered on the 2000 campaign, nearly half have since been named judges, Mr. Corbeil tells Radio-Canada , says Elizabeth Thompson April 22, 2005

Canadian Justice Review Board - PRESS RELEASE

Canadian Justice Review Board (CJRB)
CJRB Home Page
PRESS RELEASE SEPTEMBER 14, 2005
At its annual general meeting September 12th and 13th, the Canadian Justice Review Board (CJRB) expanded its current board of directors by electing the Honourable Anne C. Cools of Ottawa, his Honour retired Judge Wallace G. Craig of Vancouver and lawyer Michael R. Sporer of New Westminster B.C.

The Honourable Senator Anne C. Cools

Senator Anne C. Cools has been an innovator and leader in the creation of social services to help battered women, families in crisis and families troubled by domestic violence. In 1974, she founded one of the first battered women's shelters in Canada, Women in Transition Inc., serving as its Executive Director. She negotiated W.I.T.'s membership as a United Way Member Agency and assisted many other battered women's shelters in Ontario to get started. As W.I.T.'s Special Projects Manager from 1984 until 1990, she successfully opened a second women's shelter in 1987. From 1980 to 1984, by Order-in-Council appointment, Senator Cools served as a Member (Temp.) on the National Parole Board of Canada, the federal tribunal and paroling authority for inmates in the federal correctional system. Senator Cools has received many awards during her years of service. Recently, she was given a Certificate of Recognition as Canada's first black senator by Howard University's Ralph J. Bunche International Affairs Center in Washington, DC. She was named one of the recipients of the 2001 Toronto Bob Marley Day Award in recognition of Canada's multicultural heritage and her continuing struggle to promote equality, peace, and harmon.

Retired Judge Wallace G. Craig
Retired judge Wallace G. Craig has worked in the justice system for forty-six years. He graduated from the University of British Columbia faculty of law in 1954 and practiced as an independent lawyer in downtown Vancouver from 1955 to 1975. In 1975 he was appointed to the bench of the Provincial Court of British Columbia (Vancouver Criminal Division). During his twenty-six years in court he sensed that the criminal justice system and particularly the judiciary was dispensing justice without any real sense of law and order. In his view, the criminal justice system has ceased to be a deterrent to criminal behaviour. Following his retirement in 2001, he was released from the judicial constraint against engaging in public discussion and political comment and thereafter focused his efforts on raising public awareness about the state of the justice system. Wallace Craig is considered an authority and thought leader in the area of law and order in our time. He offers us some thoughts and solutions with only one purpose in mind and that is to make our communities more peaceful and safe.
Michael R. Sporer
Michael Robert Sporer graduated from the University of Alberta Law School in 1993. He is a partner in the New Westminster law firm of Sporer Mah and Company and a member of the executive of the Trial Lawyers Association of British Columbia (TLABC) and he has served on various standing committees for the TLABC. He is recognized as an Advocate by the National Institute for Trial Advocacy, headquartered at Notre Dame Law School, in South Bend, Indiana. He is also a member of the international legal fraternity Phi Delta Phi and the Association of Trial Lawyer of America (ATLA).Michael Sporer is a regular contributing political columnist to The Royal City Record and Burnaby Now. Mr. Sporer's legal practice is focused on tort law. His legal and political interests include private property rights, restitution to crime victims, private law remedies and the poltical culture of nations. He has studied and written about the relationship between law, legislation and liberty as well as the limits of state action in the foreign and domestic affairs of nations.

In a keynote address, Chairman David A. Kahn noted that the CJRB received many letters from Canadians who believe that they have been ill served by the justice system. Most are dealing with severe economic hardship as a direct consequence of seeking justice in courts that are increasingly unpredictable and capricious. These are indicative of a systemic problem - for many Canadians, justice is both unaffordable and uncertain. "The Board is grateful to its Directors for their ongoing advice, especially to founding chairperson Professor Robert Martin who has been a constant source of guidance and inspiration, to Executive Director William Nichol who continues to develop and grow the organization with tact and great insight, to our Vice Chairman Lynne Cohen and to our Treasurer Gwen Landolt. While we may take satisfaction from our progress, we recognize that this is just the start of a long road," said Mr. Kahn.

    Regina We Have A Problem! The Ross Children.


    The three Ross Children, a boy aged 8 and twins girls aged 5 were apprehended by Saskatchewan Social Services in February of 1987. Up until the time they were apprehended there had been many interventions by social workers and medical personal to help the children.

    ...The victims of injustice in Saskatchewan are deserving of a full judicial inquiry...

    The twin girls were separated, one was sent to a foster home in British Columbia and the other to Manitoba. The children were of no further use to Saskatchewan Justice and Social Services. The girls were left to be raped and assaulted for 43 months before their nightmare ended.

    The people of B. C. and Manitoba need to ask why their tax dollars were being spent to care for two Saskatchewan children. They and their children will require a life time of care and help. This would not have been done through normal channels, this would have been a friend or a relative of a Saskatchewan Social Services or Justice official out to hide the truth from the people of Saskatchewan.

    The victims of injustice in Saskatchewan are deserving of a full judicial inquiry into the administration of justice in Saskatchewan.



    Regina We Have A Problem! Justice Paul Hrabinsky

    corruption

    For the past 15 years Justice Hrabinsky has maliciously engaged in a knowing pattern of conduct directed at persons who have spoken out about corruption within the administration of justice in Saskatoon.

    To act with targeted malice constitutes a deliberate abuse of power, judges may be assumed to know that their powers are not given to them for the purpose of pursuing personal vendettas

    harassment

    To knowingly ignore the principles of democracy and justice, falsely and maliciously, without justifiable cause engage in acts of malice that would cause a reasonable person to suffer substantial emotional distress, physical, psychological and financial damage is criminal harassment.


    Justice Hrabinsky is fully aware of his misuse and abuse of his powers and his serious implications of his culpable transgressions of the Constitution and the Rule of Law.

    His misuse and abuse of his powers cannot but be deemed to have been done maliciously, wilfully and deliberately.

    The victims of injustice in Saskatchewan are deserving of a full judicial inquiry into the administration of justice in Saskatchewan.

    Attention U.S. Residents: Scam Alert

    From the world world scam capital: Canada

    it is a scam

    Some United States residents have recently received a letter that appears to be from Western Canada Lottery Corporation (WCLC), informing them that they have won a large lottery prize. They are then advised that they must pay "tax and charges" on the prize before a payment can be made. A falsified cheque from a "financial sponsor" is included with the letter to help the recipient supposedly pay the initial portion of the alleged taxes.

    This letter is not from WCLC; it is a scam. WCLC does not sell its products or solicit sales outside of its jurisdiction of the Canadian Prairie Provinces and Territories, nor do we authorize anyone to do so on our behalf.

    Players can only win a prize on our games by purchasing a ticket while in our jurisdiction, and we do not require the payment of "tax and charges" when issuing a prize.

    If you have received the letter described above, do not provide any funds or personal or financial information to this individual or individuals who have sent this letter. The cheque enclosed with the mailer is also not legitimate and will bounce.

    You may wish to refer the matter to your local authorities. WCLC has forwarded information regarding this scam to local authorities and to PhoneBusters, a fraud task force comprising members of several Canadian police organizations, including the RCMP.

    If you called the number on the letter and have spoken with someone, or sent money, please contact PhoneBusters (www.phonebusters.com) directly by e-mailing them at wafl@phonebusters.com
    or by calling 1-888-495-8501. The PhoneBusters lines can be busy, so please leave a message, and someone will return your call.

    Canadian Justice Review Board - Press Release - August 23, 2005. “similar to those currently under investigation by the Gomery inquiry."

    Canadian Justice Review Board - Press Release - August 23, 2005

    Chairman David Kahn.
    "Consistent with Mr. Sabourin's cavalier style to which we had earlier drawn attentionhe indicated that he did not intend to comply with Treasury Board rules", commented CJRB chairman David Kahn. “Reluctance to comply with these policy directives could signal financial mismanagement problems possibly similar to those currently under investigation by the Gomery inquiry.”

    Canadian Justice Review Board - News Room

    David Kahn is the chairman of the Canadian Justice Review Board.

    The secret association called the Canadian Judicial Council continues to be protected by the news media in Canada. Members of the legal community across Canada are raising serious questions about the secret conduct and procedures of the Canadian Judicial Council. Chief Justice McLachlin can not continue to ignore the duties and responsibilities to Canadians as the Canadian Judicial Council chairman. Where is the news media, waiting for a publication ban?

    Canadian Justice Review Board
    August 23, 2005 PRESS RELEASE:


    Today, the Canadian Justice Review Board (CJRB) turned up the heat on the Canadian Judicial Council (CJC) by pressing the CJC to disclose its contracting, travel, and hospitality expenses in compliance withTreasury Board rules. The Canadian Justice Review Board, a coalition of citizens, also wants the CJC to follow the new "proactive" disclosure policy announced on March 23rd. 2004.

    In a pointed letter to the CJC, CJRB chairman Dave Kahn said "the required information is noticeably absent from the CJC website, its annual report and its financial statement." (click to view letter)

    "We are fed up with the CJC stalling on these important financial questions. They are keeping informationsecret that the public has every right to know," says CJRB executive director William Nichol. "The CJRB has been going after this material for more than 8 months. The rules governing 'contracting' and judges' 'travel' and 'hospitality' are very straightforward and we note that the Commissioner for Federal Judicial Affairs complies with these rules. We are not aware of any legitimate reason that the Canadian Judicial Council should not", says Nichol. "They are a publicly funded agency that is supposed to be responsible to Canadians for assuring the justice system is operated in a transparent and exemplary fashion".

    The rules are outlined in the Guidelines for Ministers' Offices and in Treasury Board's Travel Directive and Special Travel Authorities . . "The directives provide only for the reimbursement of reasonable travel expenses incurred during governmentbusiness. The Government of Canada extends hospitality in accordance with the rules and principles outlined in the Guidelines for Ministers' Offices and the Treasury BoardHospitality Policy", the rulebook says. "The objective of the policy is to ensure that hospitality is extended in an economical and affordable way when it facilitates governmentbusiness or is considered desirable as a matter of courtesy and protocol."

    After pressing the CJC to produce a financial statement last year, the CJRB sought disclosure of this missing information. CJC executive director Norman Sabourin refused in a letter on May 25th 2005(click to view letter). "Consistent with Mr. Sabourin's cavalier style to which we had earlier drawn attentionhe indicated that he did not intend to comply with Treasury Board rules", commented CJRB chairman David Kahn. Reluctance to comply with these policy directives could signal financial mismanagement problems possibly similar to those currently under investigation by the Gomery inquiry.

    The CJRB has urged CJC chairman Chief Justice McLachlin to review and remedy this unsatisfactorysituation.
