Political Prisoner Brad Love Charged for Writing to His Own Lawyer

Political Prisoner Brad Love Charged for Writing to His Own Lawyer
.
 
The decade long saga of state persecution of inveterate letter writer Brad Love reached a new low this week, when he was charged with writing a letter to his own lawyer
 
 Brad Love called me from prison this morning and reported that, on November 28, police arrived at the prison in Lindsay where he’s being held pending an appeal of the 18-month sentence he was handed for breach of probation.
 
He was charged with violating an Alberta bail undertaking or condition forbidding him to write, text or e-mail to any person. [Yes, that was a condition for freedom pending trial in Alberta, not North Korea!] In July, Brad went back to Court and had the bail conditions amended so that he could write to anyone, except the parties to whom  he was charged with sending “scurrilous” political material.

“The cops are just bullies,” Mr. Love told me. “They arrest the free speech guy in jail for writing to his own lawyer about free speech. It’s crazy! I told them to check the paper work. I’m allowed to write to my own lawyer” Peter Lindsay, and, indeed, anyone other than certain politicians and media people in Fort McMurray.”
 
Further, Mr. Love reported, a fellow inmate who had sent out some letters for Bad was warned: “You could be getting out of here soon. You’d better have nothing to do with Brad!”
 
Mr. Love is scheduled to appear in Court in Lindsay on December 12 to answer the “breach” charge.
 
If you would like to give permission to Brad Love to write to you, call Kevin Nesbit, Deputy Superintendent (Operations) for the prison and give your name and address and our permission for Brad to send you letters. The phone number is 705-328-6000.

A date has still not been sent for an appeal against Mr. Love’s 2012 conviction and 18-month sentence for breach of probation.

 

Judges Reserve in Lemire Appeal Challenging Constitutionality of Sec. 13

Judges Reserve in Lemire Appeal Challenging Constitutionality of Sec. 13

TORONTO, November 14, 2013. The now repealed Sec. 13 of the Canadian Human Rights Act should be found to be unconstitutional, as well, Marc Lemire, victim of a 10-year long battle with Richard Warman, argued this morning. Supported by interveners, the Canadian Association for Free Expression and the Canadian Civil Liberties Association, Barbara Kulaszka, Mr. Lemire’s erstwhile lawyer insisted: The Canadian Human Rights Act “was a statute designed to help little people against big government or corporations, but the Act’s Sec. 13 has hit little people having a beer and posting on the Internet.” Three Federal Court of Appeals judges reserved and retired to mull over their opinion

“The fact Parliament has repealed Sec. 13 should be taken into account,” Miss Kulaszka argued. Before penalties, now ruled unconstitutional were added in 1998, and, until Parliament, in 2001, legislated that Sec. 13 applied to the Internet, this section was largely unused. Interestingly, she added, “it has been used primarily by one man (Richard Warman), a White male, not the minorities” it was said to protect.”

In almost every case, “Richard Warman and the Canadian Human Rights Commission had joint submissions and always wanted penalties” assessed against the victims. In Mr. Lemire’s case, they originally sought a $7,500 penalty.”

Sec. 13, she argued, “is an anomaly within the Canadian Human Rights Act.” Most complaints under other sections of the Act result in settlements. “Until the Lemire case, there was a 100 per cent conviction under Sec. 13.” The Act, she added, “was designed to help little people against government or Crown corporations. However, Sec. 13 hits little people having a beer and posting their ideas on the Internet.”

Mr. Warman, she reminded the three judges hearing the appeal, never contacted Mr. Lemire about the Freedomsite message board that he complained about. By the time Mr. Lemire was served with the complaint, the message board had already been taken down. “The message board was taken down in early 2004. The complaint came in March 2004,” but proceeded nonetheless.

Mr. Lemire took down all six specific articles in the Warman complaint. “I wrote to the Commission and said all the impugned articles had been removed, but I received no reply,” Miss Kulaszka recalled. “Instead they started hunting for more material.”

The Internet, she explained, “is very different from a telephone answering machine.” Telephone messages were the original target of Sec. 13. “Accusations of ‘hate’ carry incredible stigma. It is not the equivalent in the public eye of the accusation your business failed to provide a ramp for the handicapped,” she added.

“The Internet is loved by the people but feared by the courts. Maybe, it’s generational. The Internet is empowering and people can talk back. Perhaps, Karen Mock testifying for the League for Human Rights of B’nai Brith in this matter put it best when she said education was the best way to fight ‘hate.'”

Sec. 13 should be ruled unconstitutional so that “ordinary people can self publish on the Internet, argue back and forth, and not have to have a lawyer present,” she concluded.

Barclay Johnson, a Victoria lawyer, representing the Canadian Association for Free Expression, reminded the appeals judges that, in their ruling on Keegstra and Taylor (which upheld the old version of Sec. 13), “the Supreme Court of Canada did not have the benefit of expert scientific evidence” that was led in the Lemire case “which discredited the scientific justification for ‘hate laws’; namely, the supposed dire effects on minorities of so-called “hate propaganda.”

CAFE’s lawyer Barclay Johnson of Victoria

The Court relied on Frederick Kaufman’s “basically Freudian analysis. His report had formed part of the Cohen Report on Hate Propaganda.” In this case, the defence led the expert evidence of Dr. Michael Persinger who exposed “the inaccurate methodology of Kaufmann. Persinger said:’I don’t use terms like ‘hate’. I use the tem ‘aversive stimuli. ‘Hate’ is a subjective term or label. The term ‘hate’ is arbitrary and highly subjective. Persinger’s evidence was not available to the Supreme Court in reaching their recent decision in Whatcott. The psychological field has changed,” Mr. Johnson added. The Court had relied on what we now know to be junk science.

Mr. Lemire’s Freedomsite “was not a public communication. Someone had to go looking for it. Mr. Warman wasn’t just walking down the street and saw the Freedomsite. In Crooks and Newton, the Supreme Court found that people using a hyperlink are involved in a private conversation. Hyperlinks are like a reference to material. They indicate that something exists,” he explained, “but you have to make the choice to go and call it up. Mr. Warman went looking for evidence of ‘hate’. That method of getting information is private. In this case, Mr. Warman was going to websites in order to be offended,” he added. “Mr. Warman did not go to a Canadian website but to one {the Freedomsite] hosted in the U.S.”

Concluding, Mr. Johnson said, “for Mr. Lemire to be responsible for everything uploaded to a website outside the country is unfair.”

Predicting the outcome of the appeal is perilous but the three presiding justices seemed to perk up when the two very pale lawyers — are there no Negro attrorneys? — speaking on behalf of the African Canadian Legal Clinic extolled the importance of penalties (which Judge Mosley had ruled unconstitutional).

Political Prisoner, Brad Love, Not Allowed to Receive or Send Mail

 Political Prisoner, Brad Love, Not Allowed to Receive or Send Mail
The establishment persecution of political prisoner Brad Love continues. He’s an enthusiastic correspondent and letter writer. I’ve been getting a letter or call from him about every 10 days since Ontario’s malignant legal establishment threw him back in prison in July. For the past month, he’s gone silent. Worried, I talked to his brother Matt today and learned the shocking news. “They have cut off all his mail, in and out,” Matt reported.
While many of his fellow prisoners while away their time watching television or semi-comatose on the medications freely ladled out by the authorities, Brad prefers to read and write. Can’t have that. Better be a compliant zombie than a dissident thinker in politically correct Canada.
 
Brad Love, a decade after his conviction under Canada’s notorious “hate law” (Sec. 319 of the Criminal Code) for writing non-threatening letters to public officials criticizing Canada’s immigration mess, is still mired in the toils of repression. In July 2012, for sending some information packages to some Toronto Jewish groups, he was sentenced to a further 18 months in prison, plus a further three year gag order from writing letters to the media or politicians. He applied for bail; pending an appeal. In July, 2013, this bail was arbitrarily revoked. So, for the past four months, he’s languished in jail, again for nothing more than the non-violent expression of his populist, no nonsense working guy  views,.

 Brad was employed in a lucrative job in Alberta’s tar sands in Fort McMurray. The arbitrary imprisonment punishes him for his views, denies him an income and, ironically, denies the state a hefty junk of his pay in taxes.

The establishment persecution of political prisoner Brad Love continues. He's an enthusiastic correspondent and letter writer.

Further Update on Political Prisoner Brad Love’s Being Denied Mail

Further Update on Political Prisoner Brad Love’s Being Denied Mail

Political prisoner Brad Love called me collect this morning from prison. He confirmed that he is not allowed to send ANY mail out. His mail was held, without explanation, for over a month (October 15-November 18). He is now receiving mail. So, please send this “man behind the wire” — jailed solely for sending non-threatening letters to thin skinned ethnic lobby groups or politicians — a note or card.

He was called into the prison management’s office on November 19 and breezily informed: “Love, there’s a court order saying you’re not allowed to receive any mail.” Where do they find these prison personnel? In a country with a bogus “Charter of Rights and Freedoms” — really minority special privileges and rights that governments can cancel at a moment’s notice “for a good reason,” of course — and a tradition of individual RIGHTS guaranteed under our Anglo-Saxon legal traditions, you’d think the authorities might wonder: “There must be some mistake.”

Well, yes and no. There was, indeed, such as North Korean-like bail condition imposed on Mr. Love in Fort McMurray Alberta last May when he was charged with sending “scurrilous” material through the mail — strongly worded letters to the press and politicians about political matters. HOWEVER, in July, using arguments CAFE helped to prepare, Mr. Love went back to Court and had these conditions amended so that he can write to anyone, except the several individuals named in the criminal complaint.

the prison authorities also made vague threats to Mr. Love, saying he was writing “too many letters” and, if he didn’t desist, he could find himself spending more time in prison.

Impoverished Arthur Topham Charged Under Canada’s Notorious “Hate Law”, Turned Down for Legal Aid: Poor, but Not Poor Enough; Complex Case, but Not Complex Enough

Impoverished Arthur Topham Charged Under Canada’s Notorious “Hate Law”, Turned Down for Legal Aid: Poor, but Not Poor Enough; Complex Case, but Not Complex Enough

Poor people can get legal aid in Canada! Dream on. Arthur Topham is very poor but the nitpicking B.C. government won’t grant him legal aid to fight anti-free speech charges under Canada’s notorious “hate law”, Sec. 319 of the Criminal Code. Apparently, after humiliating disclosure of every aspect of his finances, he’s deemd not poor enough. Also, despite the facts that Sec. 319 is a rarified piece of Canadian legislation and there has been more than 1,000pages of disclosure, the BC government doesn’t feel the case is too complex for an untutored layman.

Arthur Topham should leave the country and return as an illegal and claim “refugee” status. He’d automatically qualify for legal aid. This is a measure of the suicidal depravity of the anti-White political establishment of this country that illegals fully qualify for legal aid but a Canadian born and bred being persecuted for the non-violent expression of his political views is denied aid and tossed into the legal lions’ den.
CAFE stands with free thinker Arthur Topham.

Radical Press Legal Update #15 by Arthur Topham

Regina v The Radical Press: LEGAL UPDATE #15

November 20th, 2013

Dear Free Speech Advocates and Radical Press Supporters,

My last Legal Update was sent out well over four months ago on July  11th, 2013 so for those who may not recall all what transpired up to  that point I’ll give a brief overview so as to put subsequent events  into some meaningful context.

All of what is going on concerns the matter of the Sec. 319(2) CCC  charge and arrest for the purported crime of “willfully promoting hatred against ‘people of the Jewish religion or ethnic group’” originally  brought on by B’nai Brith Canada’s Harry Abrams and serial Section 13  complainant Richard Warman.

Crown had anticipated that the Attorney General’s office was going to go for a “direct indictment” and skip the preliminary hearing stage of  events but that strategy fell through on July 8th, 2013. That then  brought my proposal to file for a Rowbotham application back to the forefront. As explained in earlier Updates the Rowbotham application was part of my former counsel’s plan to get government  funded legal counsel to defend me and to act on my behalf during the  preliminary inquiry to determine the merits of the aforementioned Sec.  319(2) charge. Of course when Doug was alive it was he who anticipated  being that counsel.

I had met with the Trial Coordinator and via telephone spoke with  Keith Evans, legal counsel for the B.C. Attorney General’s office in  order to discuss my Rowbotham application which he was  overseeing. Prior to that I had already submitted my Notice of  Application and Affidavit to the AG’s regarding the Rowbotham back on April 23, 2013 and received a package of material back from Mr.  Evans on May 11th explaining all the additional information that I was  expected to furnish him with prior to a hearing taking place on the  matter.

On August 13th I met again with the Trial Coordinator and a date was set to hold a hearing on the Rowbotham application on Monday, November 18th, 2013.

During the interim time period leading up the hearing I had to  furnish the AG’s office with as much documentation as I possibly could  that would show that I was not in a financial position to be able to  afford to hire a lawyer to represent me at the upcoming preliminary  hearing scheduled for January 22nd, 2014. As a result the month of  September leading into the early weeks of October were spend doing what  was basically a forensic audit of all of my finances and sending all of  this information to the Attorney General’s office in Vancouver, B.C. It  was quite time consuming and left little opportunity for doing much else besides publishing the occasional article on the website. Keith Evans  of the AG’s office was very congenial and willing to assist me with any  questions that that arose during the period that I was amassing all of  my evidence I felt would show that I was in fact indigent and unable to  cover the cost of a hiring a lawyer. The term “indigent” is one that the AG’s office uses and it means “impoverished or destitute or  poverty-stricken or disadvantaged, hard up, etc.” All of these  descriptive words I felt fitted my circumstances.

Approximately one week before the hearing on November 18th, I received all of this information back from the AG’s office along with all of my  email exchanges with AG lawyer Keith Evans. The booklet containing these communications ended up being 455 pages in length!

 

Radical Press Publisher Arthur Topham displaying the Rowbotham application documents from the B.C. Attorney General’s office

There are basically two main features or parts to a Rowbotham application, the first deals with having to prove you are in fact  “indigent” and the second being able to argue that your particular case  is complex and out of the ordinary to the point where it is evident that without legal representation you would not have a chance of a fair  trial and therefore your Charter right to a fair trial would be  infringed upon.

The hearing began at 9:30 a.m. in the Quesnel courthouse with Judge  Morgan presiding. Also in attendance was Christina Drake, a lawyer  working for the Attorney General’s office out of Victoria, B.C. who had  flown up to argue against the application.

Judge Morgan began by asking me to explain to him why I felt I was  unable to afford to hire a lawyer and why I felt my case was so  “extraordinarily complex” (another expression that the AG’s office  employed throughout their argument repeatedly). I then proceeded to tell him about how I have been battling with legal issues brought on by  B’nai Brith Canada’s two separate complaints, (the sec. 13(1) Canadian Human Rights Act complaint from 2007 and the  Sec. 319(2) CCC charge of May 16th, 2012), for the past six years and how having to do all the legal work on my  own has affected my ability to earn a sufficient income that would allow me to hire a lawyer.

Following all of that (which took a couple of hours) I then outlined  for the Judge the reasons why I felt my case was unusual and complex  enough that it warranted having a professional legal expert to represent me during the preliminary hearing stage so as to show how the illegal  search warrant that resulted in the invasion of my home and the theft of all of my computers and electronic files was an actual criminal offence on the part of the RCMP and the B.C. Hate Crime Team led by Det. Cst.  Terry Wilson. It was my argument that because of this initial illegal  act that the case should be thrown out at the preliminary hearing stage. In fact my former lawyer Mr. Christie had planned to set aside five  days for the preliminary hearing in order to accomplish this. After his  demise the court changed that time period from five days to five hours!  Obviously they felt that whatever Mr. Christie was planning to present  to the court didn’t warrant further consideration after he was out of  the picture.

Due to space constraints I won’t go into the details of my argument  for why I felt the case is complex other than I told the Judge that,  based upon my personal experience with the whole free speech issue over  the past six years, I felt it was the aim of Jewish lobby groups here in Canada, specifically B’nai Brith Canada, to set a precedent using my  charge so that, were they successful in obtaining a conviction, it would affect every other publisher and writer in Canada who might try and  criticize either the Jew’s-only state of Israel or anything else related to the Zionist political ideology or their religious practices as found in Judaism and the Talmud. It would, in other words, create a stifling  climate of censorship that would negatively affect every Canadian’s  right to freedom of speech and expression as stated in the Canada’s Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

One additional point needs to be emphasized here regarding all of the sec. 13 controversy that has taken place over the past quarter century  or longer. When I began to speak to Judge Morgan about sec. 13(1) and  about the fact that the federal government had repealed that section of  the Canadian Human Rights Code back in June of 2012 he  confessed that he knew nothing about the whole issue! I was literally  taken aback by this unexpected pronouncement on his part and my facial  expression must have surprised him as he then stated that he actually  sat on a “human rights” committee of some sort and, yet, he was still  unaware of the whole issue. Then, only to exacerbate his revelations  further, the lawyer for the Attorney General’s office also spoke up and  informed the court that she, too, was aware of what was going on in  terms of Section 13 and the Canadian Human Rights Code.

After a lunch break the hearing continued and Christina Drake,  representing the Attorney General’s office, gave her arguments as to why I ought to be refused the Rowbotham order. She cited numerous  case law examples and how in one way or another none of them met the  financial threshold that the Crown demands. Of course it’s always a  great advantage to be able to be the party that sets the threshold in  the first place and when it comes to the state having to pay for a  lawyer to defend an accused (and presumed innocent) citizen the Crown  finds such a proposal most abhorrent and the thought of it appears to  terrify them that such a precedent might actually occur (as it did in  the case of Rowbotham) and they would have to actually defray the costs of a Canadian citizen receiving justice in the courts of the land.

When the issue of complexity was addressed Drake stated:

•     [The applicant] Has four years of university education and  communicates effectively orally and in writing, as evidenced by the  sophisticated written summary he provided of the arguments he wishes to  make with respect to the search warrant;

•         Has experience in legal and  quasi-legal proceedings, specifically in the context of a human rights  complaint in which it appears that he represented himself;

Of course in to my way of thinking there’s no direct correlation  between a person’s ability to express themselves either orally or  through the written word or having obtained a Teaching certificate for  Elementary school and their ability to perform the work of a qualified  and legally trained lawyer. To try and suggest that this is the case  would be akin to asserting that the Applicant, because of his university training, would also be qualified to perform the work of a surgeon.

Drake argued that I hadn’t done enough to  show that I had contacted other lawyers in order to find out if they  would work at lower rates and represent me. Of course I had checked into this and did contact those who I felt might come to my defense but I  never received a reply back from them. Again, what the AG’s office  intentionally appears to overlook is the reality that defending cases  such as mine is a very serious matter for any lawyer who wants to steer  clear of being labeled a defender of “hate mongers” and “anti-Semites”  and “racists” and end up with a reputation such as that which Douglas  Christie acquired by his willingness to defend those charged with “hate  crimes”. To defend a person against a charge of “willfully promoting  hatred against ‘people of the Jewish religion or ethnic group’” is to  accept that you will will also be attacked by these very same foreign  lobbyists who are now threatening me.

It was around 4:00 p.m. by the time the AG’s argument was completed. I was then given an opportunity to “sum up” my financial picture which I  proceeded to do culminating by emphasizing once again that I and my wife have been forced to live an extremely minimalist existence ever since  2007 and that this ought to be given consideration. Judge Morgan then  left the courtroom for about fifteen minutes and returned to give his  decision. Predictably, based upon the AG’s argument, he concluded that I hadn’t met the financial threshold and so therefore my reasons regarding the complexity of the case wouldn’t be considered. He added further  that this might change after the preliminary hearing when, should the  case go to trial (which it appears is highly likely), that I would then  have the opportunity to file another Rowbotham application and give it another shot so to speak.

When we left the courthouse it was -20 Celcius outside with a cold, bitter wind blowing. Rather fitting in some respects.

Judge Grants Much of CAFE’s Motion in McCorkill Case

Judge Grants Much of CAFE’s Motion in McCorkill  Case
ST. JOHN, New Brunswick, November 13, 2013. A New Brunswick Court of Queen’s Bench judge sided with many of CAFE’s submissions in striking down many passages in five affidavits filed by parties seeking to  nullify a sizeable bequest to the U.S. National Alliance.
 Photo: The McCorkill Case -- Trying to Limit the Evidence to Facts, Not Rants and Name Calling

St. John, New Brunswick. November 5, 2013. Court room 13 may have truned out to be a lucky number for those seeking to prevent the hijacking of a bequest to a controversial group. Judge William T. Grant reserved judgment today for ten days in regards to a motion by Andy Lodge, representing the Canadian Association for Free Expression (CAFE), to strike large portions of five affidavits filed on behalf of Isabelle McCorkell and three interveners seeking to revoke a large bequest by former chemistry professor Robert McCorkill to the West Virginia based National Alliance. The extraordinary application to overturn the  bequest was instigated by the Southern Poverty Law Centre (SPLC) of Montgomery, Alabama, a notorious anti-free speech group that specializes in fierce attacks on those it denounces as “haters.”

 CAFE wants to see the case heard on the basis of facts and primarily law and the sanctity of a man's will. The other side seems to want to turn the proceedings into a  witch-hunt against a politically unpopular group, with plenty of name calling and extravagant claims and exaggerations. Typical of this approach is paragraph 4 under a section entitled "Facts" in the brief presented on behalf of Isabelle McCorkell: "The National Alliance is a long-standing neo-Nazi group in the United States. … Through its hate propaganda, the National Alliance promotes a political programme ...including genocide, ethnic cleansing, and the use of hate-motivated violence and terror to achieve its aims." On the contrary, the National Alliance never promoted violence or terror. As to "hate propaganda" the NA was never charged, much less convicted, under Canada's  notorious "hate law" (Sec. 319 of the Criminal, Code) and there are no such "anti-hate" laws in the U.S.

 After a three and a half hour hearing, Judge Grant ruled: “We cannot proceed with the application next week. I will give you my decision” on the motion to strike portions of the affidavits “next week on November 13.”

The Court of Queen’s Bench judge added: “I’ll hear any submissions you might have on the deponents. There are some unusual features to this case. There may be valid reasons to consider cross-examination of deponents in a case like this.”

CAFE's lawyer Andy lodge is seeking to strike large portions of the complainants' affidavits because they do not comply with the rules. Most of the evidence is being submitted by affidavits (sworn statements). Marc Antoine-Chiasson, lawyer for Isabelle McCorkell [yes, different spelling from her brother's name] decided to proceed by means of an application to the court, rather than a full blown trial with discoveries. Mr. Lodge explained: "There are very strict rules for affidavits in application cases because the application can be the end of the issue. An affidavit is assumed to be true. There are many paragraphs in the five affidavits that don't comply with the rule."

 "Rule 390.01 sub 5" became a refrain as Mr. Lodge dissected some thirty paragraphs in five affidavits. The rule states: "An affidavit for use on an application shall be confined to the facts within the personal knowledge of the deponent; but the affidavit may contain statements as to the information and belief of the deponent with respect to facts which are not contentious, if the source of his information and his belief therein are specified in the affidavit." [39.01(5)]

Indeed, in the case Bouctouche Micmac First Nation v New Brunswick (Minister of the Environment), Mr. Justice Rideout of the New Brunswick Court of Queen's Bench Trial Division ruled, quoting a judgement by Mr. Justice Vancise of the Saskatchewan Court of Appeal: "The rule is quite clear in limiting affidavit evidence to such 'facts as the witness is able of his own knowledge to prove."

 In defence of the Potok affidavit, Mr. Chiasson  ( Miss McCorkell's lawyer) "seems to say facts asserted by the deponents are not contentious. We disagree. And in Miss Fawcett's brief (on behalf of the intervener the League for Human Rights of B'nai Brith), I see no case law where hearsay evidence is permitted in an application setting."

CAFE objected to the inclusion of several of B'nai Brith's Annual Audit of Anti-Semitic Incidents on many grounds. One, was that none of the Audits even mentioned the National Alliance or its brief long-ago activities in Canada. Mr. Lodge added: "The Audits are mainly third party complaints. How can we analyze the motive of a fourth party, usually unnamed being complained against? These are not expert reports, these are not scientific reports. They are hearsay from people not even quoted but summarized."

 One of his main targets was an affidavit from Mark Potok of the Southern Poverty Law Centre. Much of it seemed more a rant and name calling than a statement of facts.  Mr. Lodge challenged most of the affidavit as being opinion, argument or hearsay. For instance, paragraph 5 of Mr. Potok's first affidavit charges that the National Alliance "is the most important Neo-Nazi group in America." That, Mr. Lodge, noted was an opinion, not a fact. Potok had patted himself on the back as being an "expert" on the National Alliance. That, too, is an opinion, not a fact.

 Dominique  Fontaine, representing Isabelle McCorkell, said: "CAFE doesn't like Mr. Potok's evidence and is adopting a shotgun approach. We are seeking significant costs as this motion is not necessary and should have been brought as part of the application."

 "You can't put a bunch of hearsay and opinions into your affidavit," CAFE lawyer Andy Lodge shot back. "These are irregular affidavits. This is a fair motion and I take great offence at the accusation that it is not. We are the ones entitled to substantial costs. We have gone to tremendous expense to try to keep these affidavits focused on facts in keeping with Rule 30.01 (5)."

 In outlining Miss McCorkel's demand that the bequest be nullified, Ms Fontaine made it clear that the objections are based on the National Alliance's political beliefs, saying: "We shall argue that this gift is contrary to public policy. The Court must know the National Alliance's ideology, what it has published, how it is perceived by the public and its influence on the public."

 In arguing against striking out portions of the B'nai Brith brief, including attachments of several of the League's  Annual Audit of Anti-Semitic Incidents, League lawyer Catherine Fawcett insisted: "The Audits show the impact of the hate speech on the Jewish community. This is not your typical application. The evidence is going to be a little different. We don't know about Mr. McCorkill but we do know of the impact of hate crimes on the Canadian Jewish community. ... B'nai Brith will also argue that no person can do something to injure the public. What is the effect when people put certain ideologies on the Internet? What injury could be done to the public, if this gift goes through? The Audits are the experience this minority group has experienced at the hands of hate groups. If you are putting money into the hands of this type of group, what is the potential effect on Canada."

 In fact, most of the incidents -- graffiti and literature for the most part -- reported in the Audits are the work of individuals, not groups. There is scant evidence most of them are motivated by material on the Internet. Few of the over 1,200 "incidents" reported annually result in criminal charges, much less convictions, and, thus, cannot be considered "crimes", let alone "hate crimes.” Furthermore, the gift is to a group in the U.S. which is no longer active in Canada and, thus, the "potential effect on Canada" would be exactly zero!

 Please Help CAFE Defend Free Speech from Those Who Would Submit Beneficiaries to Some Politically Correct Litmus Test

Robert McCorkill died in 2004 and left a substantial collection of ancient coins and artifacts to the White Nationalist National Alliance. The ant-free speech U.S. partisan group called the Southern Poverty Law Centre has vowed to kibosh the bequest. Joining the hitherto silent -- for nine years! -- sister (who, though claiming straitened circumstances is represented by a pricey Moncton law firm) is the Attorney General of New Brunswick, the League for Human Rights of B'nai Brith and the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs, all seeking to overturn the will.

CAFE has joined the fray to support the Estate and the principles of free speech and private property. "Subjecting beneficiaries to a politically correct litmus test is a frightening assault on freedom of speech and the right of a person to bequeath his property to whom he pleases. It is a shocking step down the road the state tyranny and the triumph of restrictive cultural Marxism," warns CAFE Director Paul Fromm, who nonetheless welcomed the adjournment.

"They latest delay, gives CAFE a few more weeks to raise the money needed to fund our intervention in this crucial case," he added.

Time is of the essence. The case goes to Court November 13. . WE NEED YOUR HELP!

In a decision handed down today, Judge William T. Grant “went half and half,” CAFE’s lawyer Andy Lodge noted. He struck much of the Mark Potok affidavits. Potok, an official with the Southern Poverty Law Centre, which instigated the attack on the National Alliance’s legacy, provided two affidavits heavy with name calling — “neo-Nazi, white supremacist” — and light on facts. Under New Brunswick legal rules of procedure, affidavits presented in an application must be strictly limited to facts within the knowledge of the person swearing the affidavit.
Oddly, the judge did not exclude two Audits of Anti-Semitic Incidents attached to their affidavit by intervener the League for Human Rights of B’nai Brith. The Audits do not even mention the NA, which has not been active in Canada  for many years, and are almost entirely second or third party hearsay and speculation.
“The judge’s ruling will help them keep to the facts,” Mr. Lodge commented. “We are focused on keeping the state and courts out of wills,” he added.
CAFE intervened to prevent hyped up emotionalism and the vilification of a beneficiary from thwarting the clear intention of a testator. “Beneficiaries must not be subjected to a politically correct litmus test. That would be a legal revolution and a huge break with our Anglo-Saxon legal traditions,” said CAFE Director Paul Fromm.

Judge Grant also set November 29 as the deadline for the parties to file further affidavits. December 9 will the deadline for filing further motions.
A full hearing will occur in January or February.

The McCorkill Case — Trying to Limit the Evidence to Facts, Not Rants and Name Calling

The McCorkill Case — Trying to Limit the Evidence to Facts, Not Rants and Name Calling

St. John, New Brunswick. November 5, 2013. Court room 13 may have turned out to be a lucky number for those seeking to prevent the hijacking of a bequest to a controversial group. Judge William T. Grant reserved judgment today for ten days in regards to a motion by Andy Lodge, representing the Canadian Association for Free Expression (CAFE), to strike large portions of five affidavits filed on behalf of Isabelle McCorkell and three interveners seeking to revoke a large bequest by former chemistry professor Robert McCorkill to the West Virginia based National Alliance. The extraordinary application to overturn the  bequest was instigated by the Southern Poverty Law Centre (SPLC) of Montgomery, Alabama, a notorious anti-free speech group that specializes in fierce attacks on those it denounces as “haters.”

CAFE wants to see the case heard on the basis of facts and primarily law and the sanctity of a man’s will. The other side seems to want to turn the proceedings into a  witch-hunt against a politically unpopular group, with plenty of name calling and extravagant claims and exaggerations. Typical of this approach is paragraph 4 under a section entitled “Facts” in the brief presented on behalf of Isabelle McCorkell: “The National Alliance is a long-standing neo-Nazi group in the United States. … Through its hate propaganda, the National Alliance promotes a political programme …including genocide, ethnic cleansing, and the use of hate-motivated violence and terror to achieve its aims.” On the contrary, the National Alliance never promoted violence or terror. As to “hate propaganda” the NA was never charged, much less convicted, under Canada’s  notorious “hate law” (Sec. 319 of the Criminal, Code) and there are no such “anti-hate” laws in the U.S.

After a three and a half hour hearing, Judge Grant ruled: “We cannot proceed with the application next week. I will give you my decision” on the motion to strike portions of the affidavits “next week on November 13.”

 

The Court of Queen’s Bench judge added: “I’ll hear any submissions you might have on the deponents. There are some unusual features to this case. There may be valid reason

ns to consider cross-examination of deponents in a case like this.”

St. John, New Brunswick. November 5, 2013. Court room 13 may have truned out to be a lucky number for those seeking to prevent the hijacking of a bequest to a controversial group. Judge William T. Grant reserved judgment today for ten days in regards to a motion by Andy Lodge, representing the Canadian Association for Free Expression (CAFE), to strike large portions of five affidavits filed on behalf of Isabelle McCorkell and three interveners seeking to revoke a large bequest by former chemistry professor Robert McCorkill to the West Virginia based National Alliance. The extraordinary application to overturn the  bequest was instigated by the Southern Poverty Law Centre (SPLC) of Montgomery, Alabama, a notorious anti-free speech group that specializes in fierce attacks on those it denounces as “haters.”

 CAFE wants to see the case heard on the basis of facts and primarily law and the sanctity of a man's will. The other side seems to want to turn the proceedings into a  witch-hunt against a politically unpopular group, with plenty of name calling and extravagant claims and exaggerations. Typical of this approach is paragraph 4 under a section entitled "Facts" in the brief presented on behalf of Isabelle McCorkell: "The National Alliance is a long-standing neo-Nazi group in the United States. … Through its hate propaganda, the National Alliance promotes a political programme ...including genocide, ethnic cleansing, and the use of hate-motivated violence and terror to achieve its aims." On the contrary, the National Alliance never promoted violence or terror. As to "hate propaganda" the NA was never charged, much less convicted, under Canada's  notorious "hate law" (Sec. 319 of the Criminal, Code) and there are no such "anti-hate" laws in the U.S.

 After a three and a half hour hearing, Judge Grant ruled: “We cannot proceed with the application next week. I will give you my decision” on the motion to strike portions of the affidavits “next week on November 13.”

The Court of Queen’s Bench judge added: “I’ll hear any submissions you might have on the deponents. There are some unusual features to this case. There may be valid reasons to consider cross-examination of deponents in a case like this.”

CAFE's lawyer Andy lodge is seeking to strike large portions of the complainants' affidavits because they do not comply with the rules. Most of the evidence is being submitted by affidavits (sworn statements). Marc Antoine-Chiasson, lawyer for Isabelle McCorkell [yes, different spelling from her brother's name] decided to proceed by means of an application to the court, rather than a full blown trial with discoveries. Mr. Lodge explained: "There are very strict rules for affidavits in application cases because the application can be the end of the issue. An affidavit is assumed to be true. There are many paragraphs in the five affidavits that don't comply with the rule."

 "Rule 390.01 sub 5" became a refrain as Mr. Lodge dissected some thirty paragraphs in five affidavits. The rule states: "An affidavit for use on an application shall be confined to the facts within the personal knowledge of the deponent; but the affidavit may contain statements as to the information and belief of the deponent with respect to facts which are not contentious, if the source of his information and his belief therein are specified in the affidavit." [39.01(5)]

Indeed, in the case Bouctouche Micmac First Nation v New Brunswick (Minister of the Environment), Mr. Justice Rideout of the New Brunswick Court of Queen's Bench Trial Division ruled, quoting a judgement by Mr. Justice Vancise of the Saskatchewan Court of Appeal: "The rule is quite clear in limiting affidavit evidence to such 'facts as the witness is able of his own knowledge to prove."

 In defence of the Potok affidavit, Mr. Chiasson  ( Miss McCorkell's lawyer) "seems to say facts asserted by the deponents are not contentious. We disagree. And in Miss Fawcett's brief (on behalf of the intervener the League for Human Rights of B'nai Brith), I see no case law where hearsay evidence is permitted in an application setting."

CAFE objected to the inclusion of several of B'nai Brith's Annual Audit of Anti-Semitic Incidents on many grounds. One, was that none of the Audits even mentioned the National Alliance or its brief long-ago activities in Canada. Mr. Lodge added: "The Audits are mainly third party complaints. How can we analyze the motive of a fourth party, usually unnamed being complained against? These are not expert reports, these are not scientific reports. They are hearsay from people not even quoted but summarized."

 One of his main targets was an affidavit from Mark Potok of the Southern Poverty Law Centre. Much of it seemed more a rant and name calling than a statement of facts.  Mr. Lodge challenged most of the affidavit as being opinion, argument or hearsay. For instance, paragraph 5 of Mr. Potok's first affidavit charges that the National Alliance "is the most important Neo-Nazi group in America." That, Mr. Lodge, noted was an opinion, not a fact. Potok had patted himself on the back as being an "expert" on the National Alliance. That, too, is an opinion, not a fact.

 Dominique  Fontaine, representing Isabelle McCorkell, said: "CAFE doesn't like Mr. Potok's evidence and is adopting a shotgun approach. We are seeking significant costs as this motion is not necessary and should have been brought as part of the application."

 "You can't put a bunch of hearsay and opinions into your affidavit," CAFE lawyer Andy Lodge shot back. "These are irregular affidavits. This is a fair motion and I take great offence at the accusation that it is not. We are the ones entitled to substantial costs. We have gone to tremendous expense to try to keep these affidavits focused on facts in keeping with Rule 30.01 (5)."

 In outlining Miss McCorkel's demand that the bequest be nullified, Ms Fontaine made it clear that the objections are based on the National Alliance's political beliefs, saying: "We shall argue that this gift is contrary to public policy. The Court must know the National Alliance's ideology, what it has published, how it is perceived by the public and its influence on the public."
