United Nations Found Canada Guilty of Human Rights Violations

The United Nation's report has acknowledged that the Canadian government was in violation of human rights. The report seemed to have alluded to the fact that the Canadian government should make amends regarding its human rights violations and called upon it to acknowledged its role in regards to those human rights abuse some of which I have touched upon on my blog such as its racism and its policy of exclusion towards different members of its society. Canada also has one of the most racist immigration policy that exist today and directly targeting specific groups of people both inside and outside of Canada and of course also the corruption that is involved in its bureaucracy. I believed that the silence in regards to its atrocities that are committed towards those living in this country should also be acknowledged. The best example of which is Canada's native people who like others have suffered at the hands of this government. On any given day there are countless human rights violations taking place in this country and along with those other countries that the United Nations has already acknowledged in regards to this issue. It is the same here in Canada where those same human rights abuse are taking place unnoticed for the most part and it was time for all of that to be finally acknowledged by the United Nations. The United Nations should also have acknowledged more of this country's actions in regards to those individual cases involving such human rights abuse as torture by the Canadian government both in this country and around the world and that by doing so that this would finally give a reprieve to those who have suffered at the hands of this government unjustly. Part of the problem is that their is a conspiracy on the part of some to keep those human rights abuse cases from being investigated fully and the best way of doing so was not to acknowledge its existence in the first place. For this all Human Rights agencies currently operating inside of Canada is responsible and included in this also is the Canadian media who has directly controlled what information that the public gets to hear on that issue. Most disenfranchised groups in Canada has no real protection under international law because those laws are not implemented the way it should due to the corruption of the Canadian government in dispensing justice in this country. the administration of justice is often perverted in all areas of law and this is where abuse of the rights of persons or groups in this country are affected the most. In Canada such actions needed to be regulated and to also be reinforced by the United Nations so that the rights of those in this country are protected as it should be and that the protection of those rights should not be dependent upon a corrupt system that has inherently been unfair to some groups and not others. Although the United Nations cannot force this government or any other government to comply with its requests it can shame also shamed it into compliance with its regulations by revealing from time to time its actions in regards to its human rights agenda as I am also doing on this blog. This is the reason also that I had decided to exposed its actions to the rest of the world on those issues. Simply put lives are adversely affected as a result of its actions on that issue and that should also change. Of course my reasons are also personal because of the human rights abuse regarding my own case by this government which has made me I believed more than qualified and even justified to report on that issue by this government which also in my case has also continued up until the present time and for which I am now also totally dedicated in exposing at this time. My focus is primarily on those cases of human rights abuse that gets little or no attention but is happening in this country nevertheless. One of the best examples of this is the torture and abuse of innocent people which are carried out systematically and in all areas. For instance the brutal rapes of women in Canadian jails and prisons most of which are minority women. That problem is of epidemic proportion and regularly occurs without much attention from human rights organizations such as Amnesty International and others operating in this country at present. The other areas of human rights abuse has also included the arbitrary arrest and detention of political prisoners in this country who are also most often set up by the Canadian authorities and the denial of their rights under the law as well as those who has been tortured by the police and have also been subjected to the abuse of their human rights. This government has persistently refused requests to have such male guards watched over female prisoners and as a result there has been much criminal actions on their part including impregnating some of those women that they have also raped under those circumstances. There are also women who have been brutalized in much the same way as those women in Canadian jails by other Canadian police forces such as women who has been coerced into having sexual relationships with Canadian enforcement agents or immigration officers in exchanged for their freedom and I have duly collected all of those incidences as a testimony against this government's human rights abuses that are still being perpetrated against the innocent in this society. Among them also are the mentally ill and the poor two categories among human rights abuse cases that are also systematic and regularly infringed upon by the Canadian government. If it do away with its corrupt practices of keeping those corrupted government and public officials who currently occupy positions of power and care nothing about public interest it will begin to affect changes that are necessary in this country. Those people will never go and neither will this government change its attitude on human rights issues in this country. The alternative to this is to make its actions known so that the whole world can see it for what it truly is. A racist country that exploits those it considers as being weak and a hypocrite on most issues concerning human rights. And most like me who already believes that it is a police state and there is plenty of evidence to back up this claim. For victims of human rights abuse in this country I would encouraged the giving of support to those victims such as victims of torture or those persecuted for their beliefs and other forms of human rights abuse in this country at present. These all face the same predicament. They have no voice at present where many of those cases are as yet unheard of for the most part or not even acknowledged by those who have abused their rights meaning the Canadian government. This would bring me back to the lies or misinformation that has been told or the misrepresentation of facts that the public has been led to believe on the issues of human rights abuse in Canada on the new website that has been promoted by the Canadian government in regards to its human rights. This website located at www.humanrights.ca is supposed to be dedicated to the promotion of human rights in this country. Its intention is to promote the museum that has been built by the Canadian government that is dedicated to human rights in this country! It is a complete hypocrisy! It is not as if the actions of this government has changed from those of the past! Think about its actions in the past in regards to its human rights abuses and its actions currently in regards to that issue? There is no difference in its approach to the problem and only when it is shamed into compliance does it take any actions regrading that matter. It has continued to deceive the public regarding those issues? One thing is certain its actions will no longer remain hidden. As more and more cases of its human rights abuse come to light I believe that it will be finally begin to acknowledge its actions on that issue. But maybe I am dreaming.

CANADA IMPLICATED IN THE TORTURE OF INNOCENT CIVILIANS

A recent inquiry in regards to the Canadian military's role in the torture of innocent Afghanistan civilians has also called for changes as well as for accountability on the part of the Canadian government. The report, which also stated that the torture of those civilians took place in 2006 and 2007, but were not investigated until now, detailed the torture of those civilians, who were also described as being, "farmers, truck drivers, tailor, peasants, random human being in the wrong place, at the wrong time". The report also stated that the Canadian military detained and handed over for severe torture, a lot of innocent people.
The report has stated that the civilians were also picked up during routine military operations, on the basis of reports that are "typically not of intelligence... but suspicion or unproven denunciation.” According to a senior Canadian Military Officer, Richard Colvin, who has made the report on the torture of the Afghans, before the Canadian Parliamentary Committee. The most common forms of torture were "beatings, whippings with power cables and the use of electricity," he said. Mr Colvin also said that he and his colleagues had tried to warn senior officials in Ottawa about the torture allegations, but that he was ordered by Canadian foreign ministry officials to stop putting his concerns on paper. Richard Colvin also said that Canadian officials, knew that detainees faced a high risk of torture, for a year and a half, but continued to hand over those detainees, to the Afghani National Directorate of Security to be tortured. According to the report, hundred of innocent Afghans were detained and eventually tortured, based on the actions of the Canadian military in Kandahar, Afghanistan.

IN OTHER NEWS
A recent killing of an activist opposing Canadian mining in Mexico, was also the focus of world wide attention. Canadian companies are heavily invested in mining in many South American countries, Africa and other places around the globe. With those mining companies, also are reports of the exploitation of the indigenous populations of those countries, but the profits for those Canadian companies in those countries has also been preeminent in the investigation of those companies. Much of their actions has been overlooked in how they have also depleted both the natural resources and the populations of those countries, in regards to their actions, including such secondary factors as wars, which they have also helped to start in those countries because it has also profited them to do so.

THE CASE FOR CORRUPTION AGAINST MINTZ AND PARTNERS LIMITED


The recent objection to the extension of the term of Mintz and Partners Limited, a subsidiary of Deloitte Corporation, as the Receiver and Manager for one of the Coops, that is also managed by the City of Toronto and the unbelievable corruption involved in their actions and especially by some City of Toronto public officials, in trying to push their agenda through the court, in regards to that company, is also staggering. It also calls for in my opinion, an investigation of corruption into their actions, because there has definitely been some criminality, on the part of that company, its employees and the City of Toronto, as far as its actions in regards to how it has carried out its duties, as the Receiver and manager for that particular building. The fact that racism is also a very big problem at that Coop and one that is also practiced by the current management, Mintz and Partners and M&P Property Management, also shows the dual role that the City of Toronto, also plays in the perpetration of racism. One of their actions, is in trying to have them, that is, the Receiver Mintz and Partners and its subsidiary company, M&P Property Management Ltd., reappointed for the fifth time, as the Receiver and Manager, of the property and assets of the Coop, which is also, usually, only a twelve month term, but the City of Toronto has managed to have their term extended and this would be the fifth time, that they have done so and without even consulting the members of the Coop, in regards to this. In fact this was all done without the members knowledge or consent, thanks to Maria Valakostas, the Funds Manager for the department that has hired them. She herself having being implicated in other corrupt practices, in regards to the hiring or maintaining of such companies and how also she has responded to public complaints about their actions, as related to their public duties. There are also many things wrong with this appointment. Receiverships are usually appointed for a 12 month period only, unless this is extended by the court and only under special circumstances, but never indefinitely, as this case seem to also suggest. The City of Toronto wants the Receiver Mintz and Partners, to continue with its current position, to continue to handle the property and assets of the Coop, despite complaints from its the members against the Receiver. The City of Toronto is also obligated under the law, not to seek the reappointment of the Receiver, under those terms, where there has been a complaint made against them by the public, in regards to the carrying out of its duties, or in regards to the actions of its employees, that might also have involved any breach of the law by them, but they have even gotten a corrupt lawyer, Mark Siboni, representing the City of Toronto, to try and push their agenda through the court. Mark Siboni is also known to have represented other corrupt public officials or organizations, such as the Metropolitan Toronto Police, when the public has made a claim against them for corruption. In all of those cases, his clients are never wrong. It is the public who is imaging those things about them. Fortunately for the public, no one really believes this crap about his client's innocence and in my opinion, he is every bit as corrupt as those that he also represents. In fact, what he and those others mentioned have been trying to do, is to perpetuate systematic racism. Not only in regards to this case, but also against the general public. The court has also played a role in this corruption as well, regarding that case, thanks to the corrupt practices of Judges like Newbould and Morawetz of the Ontario Superior Court of Justice, by reappointing the Receiver Mintz and Partners, for its fifth term and despite it actions that has gone against the public. The application of the City of Toronto to reappoint the Receiver Mintz and Partners, (also their fifth request) was also done at an in chamber meeting with the Judge, Justice Frank Newbould. The very same Judge who had three months previously, made an order to the effect that the Receiver's term, should not be extended beyond the three months, that he had made in his previous order and also gave some very explicit reasons why he had decided on such. Citing for instance the exhorbant cost that it has already racked up, due to the unusual delay in the process. Now the public has learned that he has three months later, decided to grant the City of Toronto's request, which is a complete reversal of his earlier order, to not extend the term of the Receiver for another year, ending in November 2010. The new appointment of the Receiver, as mentioned, was also not scheduled to be heard in the court room, but rather at an in chamber meeting with the said Judge. It is no wonder too, because he would have been making a new order that would have gone completely against the first one that he has made, which was to deny the City's request, to extend the term of the Receiver for another year. City of Toronto too, did not present any new evidence to the court to warrant any such further extension. The case for corruption against that company and its employees also goes much further than this, to include also the personal actions on the part of those ivolved, that would also warrant such an investigation into their actions against the public. The public should also not be surprised at these actions by either the Judge or the City of Toronto. This is how a lot of cases are dealt with that also involved corruption, which also includes systematic racism on the part of those involved. They simply want to perpetuate a system that works for them and not necessarily others. They will also go to great lengths to prevent anyone from stopping them from doing this. What I meant by this, is that they will also resort to illegal means to get this done.

JUDGE F. NEWBOULD, OF THE ONTARIO SUPERIOR COURT

A lot of times I get asked the question, of why I chose to exposed the actions, of those who are in charge of protecting the interest of the public, but often do not. In exposing the actions of the corrupt ones, I believed, that it has also served as a deterrent, to them further abusing the rights of the public. This fact is also very evident in the courts, where there has been a lot of disregard for the administration of justice, by some of those judges or justices of the peace, who are involved in dispensing justice. There are many corrupt ones and a few good ones also. By far the majority of them are corrupt and do in fact, disregard, both the rights of the persons who are before the courts, as well as the law itself. It is for this reason also, that, from time to time, I mention here also on my blog, the names of the ones, whose actions also goes against the public. One of those corrupt judges is none other than Justice Frank Newbould of the Superior Court of Justice in Ontario. I mentioned him here because he is one of those judges who also practices systematic racism in the court. Aside from this fact, it has also been observed by me, as well as others, that this judge also has no regards, whatsoever, for the administration of justice in the courtroom. He is also known to ignore evidence and to personally interfere in those cases that are before him. He is also disrespectful of the differences, of some of the people, who has also appeared before him and seemed only to be interested in promoting the interest, of those others like himself, who also goes about trampling upon the rights of others in this society, or whose actions are questionable, because of the corruption involved, in regards to their actions. I am talking here about other public official or guardians of public trust who has also further their own personal agenda at the expense of the public.
The list of judges or justices of the peace, in the Ontario courts, whose actions goes against the public, is actually quite long. As more people are becoming aware of their rights, they are also begining to challenged the actions of those corrupt judges, that has also gone against them. Once they know that their actions will be exposed, perhaps they will also stop infringing upon the rights of the people, who has appeared before them. For a list of more of those corrupt judges in the Ontario courts, I also recommends that you also visit the website called "Canada Court Watch". They have a long list of judges and justices of the peace in Ontario and across Canada, who has also been known to act corruptly and to disregard the administration of justice in those cases before them.

SECURITY CAMERAS FOR "AT RISK NEIGHBOURHOODS"

The Toronto Police Services Board, has recently approved an additional 11 cameras, to be added to the 15 security cameras, that already existed in "high risk neighbourhoods" in Toronto. This will give 24 hr coverage of those neighbourhoods that the police has also deemed, as being more criminal than others. Among the factors that went into their decision, was also the socio-economic level of those communities. The problem with this also, is that some of those neighbourhoods in question, has also a higher visibility of minorities and they are also considered, by the Toronto police, as worth watching. The economic gap between the poor and the rich, has also put the former in the category, of being watched by the police and for the simple fact, that, those on the lowest economic scale, are also minorities. Their actions besides promoting racism, also does not help to promote human rights either. The specific neighbourhoods, in which the cameras were installed, are also being kept a secret, but that is not entirely difficult to find out, because of the criterias, that were also used by the police, in the targeting of those neighbourhoods. Most people will agree too, that the decision of the Toronto Police Services Board to target such neighbourhoods, was also racist and bias. Based also on the demographics that were also used by the police. And also in subjecting those within those areas, to be constantly watched by the police, 24 hours a day, by those video cameras, which by the way, has very little effect, in the prevention of crime anyway. The actions of the Toronto police, has also reinforced the myth, that crimes are also mostly committed by the poor, as this was also a part of their decision, in regards to the installment of those cameras. It is no wonder that there are no improvements between the police and those groups, which are also generally targeted by them. Surveillance cameras in our society has become common place. Setting up cameras in specific neighbourhoods, to watch the day to day activities of those in such neighbourhoods, could be challenged, because it also infringes upon their rights and especially when the reasons for those cameras, also pointed to those communities also being targeted by the police and for reasons that has also clearly discriminated against them.

Canada Rejects UN Human Rights Recommendations



UNITED NATIONS - Canada has told the United Nations that more than half of the 68 recommendations which other countries says will improve Canada's human rights standards are unacceptable. In an address to the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva, Canada has rejected outright 14 of the recommendations issued in March and partially rejected another 22. Rejected advice touched on issues that included racial discrimination, aboriginal rights,fighting poverty and seeking clemency for Canadians facing the death penalty overseas.
For instance Canada also rejected a recommendation from Egypt that called for the training of judges and prosecutors on the nature of race-based hate crimes.
Canada has also rejected recommendations from Russia and Ghana to launch a national poverty-elimination program. Canada has said that provinces and territories have jurisdiction in that area. On the death penalty Canada also rejected calls by Denmark and the Netherlands to seek clemency for Canadians facing capital punishment in all cases, including those where Canada considers the "rule of law" reigns.
According to Louise Arbour, former Supreme Court Justice and the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, "Canada has quandered its international goodwill."
"There is a sense inside the UN and the human-rights community that... We’re not a real presence anymore"... "If you can’t lead on issues that are hard for you, how can you tell other nations to lead on issues that are hard for them?" she says. She also said that "unlike countries such as Norway or Sweden, Canada isn’t spending as much as it could, or should, to promote development and rights." Arbour has also said that Canadian diplomats have also backed away from advancing the rights agenda in international forums.

Liberal Leader Michael Ignatieff Comments

Ignatieff's Not So Very Sentimental Views About His Native Canada. And Also His Very Pro Israeli Attitude Was Also Revealed.
At a 2005 lecture at the University of Dublin’s Trinity College Ignatieff exhorted his views on his native country in his statements about Canada's human rights issues when he also berated Canadians for trading on Canada’s “entirely bogus reputation as peacekeepers for 40 years." He also followed this up by stating that Canadians also favoured “hospitals and schools and roads” over international citizenship. “If you are a human rights defender and you want something done to stop [a] massacre, you have to go to the Pentagon, because no one else is serious,” Ignatieff said.
"It’s disgusting in my own country... Canada, but they would rather bitch about their rich neighbour to the south than actually pay the note” he said in response to a question about peacekeeping. “To pay the bill to be an international citizen is not something that they want to do.”
Ignatieff gave the lecture while he was director of Harvard’s Carr Center for Human Rights Policy. He also specifically said during a lecture in Toronto and placing his hand on his heart that there was nothing more important for him than ensuring the continued existence and safety of the state of Israel. That comment may have also come not only from his personal attitude but also his professional view on the matter. In 2006 he had received criticism for his comment for saying that the Israeli government had committed "war crimes" in the bombing of a south Lebanon village, Qana, in which a building had collapsed, killing dozens of civilians. For that comment Ignatieff had said also that "all hell broke loose" and also that "It was the most painful experience of my short political life". He also had apparently learned from that mistake. To further proved that his views about Israel were also paramount in some of his decisions, Ignatieff has also endorsed a book that was pro Israel and ended up calling its authors "his friends" as well as stating that one of the "greatest influence of his intellectual life" was the zionist thinker Isaiah Berlin, whom he also said that "next to my father, I love most dearly" and "who had the greatest effect on my thinking". Finally Ignatieff has also admitted that "Israel may not have complied with the Geneva Convention." In his defense he did say "that both the Palestinian and the Israelis has a right to statehood." And also that "Canada can't remain in neutral" in regards to that matter.

Note: I'm interested in his views on Human Rights, which was his platform for many years before he went into politics, but which now also seemed to be contradictory after also stating his views in regards to the Israeli government, which has also been blatantly in violation of the International Declaration on Human Rights, that even the United Nations has also condemned in regards to its actions. Further Micheal Ignatieff's views on human rights issues will also affect the way that he deals with other countries in regards to Canada's foreign policy, and whether those practices will be considered as being humanitarian or not. I am talking here about those poorer countries that this government has also exploited directly and also in its immigration policy to exclude others from benefiting in return under international human rights laws. We also know that previously he did not think that this was the case. The question then is what are his views on those same issues now?

CANADIAN GOVERNMENT ACCOUNTABILITY: NONEXISTENT

The Global Integrity 2008 Report has labeled Canada as so called "Moderate" in its World's Most Detailed Assessment of Government Integrity and Democracy. The report which assesses the strength and weakness of national level anti corruption system has also found that "Canada is struggling with the controlling influence of money in the political process." Among the areas that has received the lowest ratings in regards to corruption are legislative accountability, judicial accountability, civil service regulations and law enforcement. The report is also in the opinion of some also deficient. Compared to other countries around the world no serious actions has ever been taken against any Canadian government officials who has acted corruptly. There has been investigations plenty but for those corrupt government officials no direct punishments has ever really been handed out. They have somehow managed to avert all of this during the process. The worst that they have gotten is some bad publicity for their actions.

HUMAN RIGHTS ABUSE: HOW THE CANADIAN GOVERNMENT HAS CARRIED OUT THE TORTURE OF PERSONS DIRECTLY

Let the truth be told that the Canadian government also tortures people directly. This fact is now being uncovered because of those victims of the Canadian government who are now speaking out about its role in the torture of persons in this country. Their stories are available to all and is a testament also to human rights abuse in that country which are also carried out directly by the Canadian government and which also can no longer be ignored. It is no secret that Canada's police agencies such as CSIS, the RCMP and the local police has carried out the torture of individuals on a regular basis as well as in ways that are also fundamentally against human rights. Those police agencies has also used extreme measures including the use of both physical and psychological torture against those subjected to such treatment and this has also been carried out against the knowledge of the general public. The Globe and Mail Canada's news agency has also stated on this issue "how morally confused Canadian authorities have become .... Somehow, human rights have become viewed as an inconvenience, and not a legal obligation." Victims suffers silently as these atrocities are being carried out. They include those who are on the police "watch list" such as some activists and also those who can help those agencies in one form or the another such as being spies for the government or the police without their consent usually. First coercive means are employed to get those persons to cooperate with their abusers. If that doesn't work then more extreme methods are used to get the required results. Refusing to participate often leads up to those persons being subjected to more abuse both directly and in other ways. Direct abuse of the person also involved the use of illegal methods such as physical torture of the victim and also involved the abuse of that person's rights as a human being. Those methods are employed anyway with the result being that the victims are also subjected to intense physical and also psychological pain and trauma and these are also carried out in secret with the isolation of the victim through other means directly. (See my other articles on the isolation and torture of the victims of this form of human rights abuse). Lifting the veil in regards to this government's role in the torture of persons will also help in exposing the real picture of its human rights abuse to the world that it will no longer be able to hide because of the fact that its actions are now finally coming to light. This information is important also in assessing its role also in international affairs and also its true intentions as well. As they often say also that "whatever is hidden, will also come to light". Now finally its actions are being exposed and the victims are also now getting some kind of justification for the atrocities that has been committed against them.
Below I have also included some excerpts from other articles on the same subject. One of which is called Corporate Terrorism, Torture and Government Cover Up which was presented at the World Congress on Economic Crime Prevention in January 2009 that has also emphasized the use of the Zerzetzen technique that is now favoured by such countries as Canada in its current use by that country's police agencies like CSIS (CSIS is no longer a police agency but still acts like one when it suits its purpose). The article is covered in detail at this site. http://zerzetzen.wikispace.com by rodus or more correctly by Roderick Russell his official name. It is called Serious Human Rights Abuse in 2 G8 Countries - Being Covered-UP by their Establishments - Use of the Zerzetzen Torture Technique by ... and CSIS in Canada. "Human Rights Organizations are scared to help". And "this human rights abuse is happening in Canada today". Proof that CSIS practices torture in Canada... How elements in the top establishment have used the CSIS intelligence services as a private crime gang ...CSIS is carrying out this torture for people whom they know are not only evil, but also extremely stupid. What has followed? Shots fired...threatening phone calls to his children...he is under surveillance and he can’t find work as people are scared to hire him. Furthermore regarding the Neutering Canada’s human rights industry. "What is interesting is the absence of the Human Rights Industry... Abuses that come from the establishment at home are definitely not fashionable. Contrary to popular belief there is no human rights organization in Canada to which victims of zerzetzen can turn to for help".
Zerzetzen by CSIS “no touch torture” – slander, surveillance, telephone tapping, Intimidation, harassment, death threats. There are many death threats but if finally carried out it is made to look like an accident.
CSIS is not telling the truth about torture in Canada ... "But it’s worse than that – Canada’s government is covering the matter up...our intelligence services is now so bad and our politicians now so neutered by the establishment that Canada does not pass this basic test of democracy".
Zerzetzen in my own personal case. Harassment and intimidation used against me which has also included the following: My telephone numbers being hooked up to fax lines and I get calls at 5 am in the morning and at other times. The telephone ringing incessantly and no one is on the other end of the line. They also work with employees to harass me on the job or to destroy my business at other times. They've even contacted my clients directly. Taps my telephone, intercepts my emails and opens my regular mails. They have also turned friends and acquaintances against me with lies about me. Threatened and harassed my children using intimidation and fear. Works with neighbours who are also used in their attempts to entrap me. Disregarding the administration of justice in all legal matters regarding me such as obstruction of justice by directly interfering with all legal proceedings and to ignore my rights in all of these. This is the wider government conspiracy against me. They have also used advanced technology to spy on me in my home and also to carry out torture that has also resulted in physical injury. Death threats (and extortion)letter which has also told me never to show the letter to any one else (which I also ignored and showed it to others instead). Black listed regarding jobs, friends and in every area of my life. Most could not have survived this but I have lived to talk about it and much to their regret right now.
In another case. CSIS had asked the Sudanese government to arrest a Canadian man as files revealed. Abdelrazik is the 'first case of Canadian rendition,' MP says. (See also article below on Mr. Abdelrazik's case and how he was tortured directly by CSIS).

THE HUMAN RIGHTS AGENDA

Canada and the war in Sudan
The operation of Canadian oil companies in the Sudan has cause economic hardship, for the Sudanese people who has not only faced civil unrest in their country from that government itself which has also profited from those foreign oil companies but many Sudanese were also killed or displaced by these civil unrest for which their government is also to be blamed and for working with those foreign oil companies to exploit them even more. Exploitation and greed is what has kept those oil companies in the Sudan and other places like South America. Talisman Oil is one of those Canadian companies that has exploited the resources of the Sudanese people without giving any thing back to the people. That in my opinion is a human rights violation. To profit off of the people for their own benefit. Canada and its global conglomerate of oil companies in Africa and other countries around the world has also violated international human rights standards through its exploitation of the natural resources of those countries and putting the inhabitants in economic hardships that is evidence by the wars and internal turmoils that is often the result of the direct interference of those foreign countries that has used these internal conflicts for their own benefit.
Canada's Role in the Congo Wars:
A recent report that has come out has also said that Canada has funded and profited from the war in the Congo. This fact has also been known for a long time but these reports has also cited the direct role that Canada has played in the massacre of the Congolese people through its direct support of the rebel groups that it has also funded that has also resulted in the deaths of millions of Congolese. According to Denis Tougis in his report Canada In Africa he has cited that "Canada’s image as a moderate country and disinterested development partner in Africa is now thoroughly outdated". Another report by writer Zahra Moloo has also cited Canada's role in the Congo in her report called Canada’s Contribution to Congo’s Wars. In it she has described some of the atrocities that were committed by Canadian oil companies in the Democratic Republic of Congo. She also gave documented evidence of this fact including stating in her report that "documented support for rebel groups and massacres by Canadian mining companies" had also caused the Congolese government to review the contracts of some 63 of those mining companies that were issued during the bloodiest years of the war that has also resulted in the deaths of some 5.4 million people who have been killed since 1998 as a result of that war. The review of the Congolese government which has also claimed that 45,000 people had died each month from war-related causes. In the report also Anvil Mining employees were taken to the Congolese courts in June 2007 over allegations that they had provided logistical assistance and ground transportation to the Congolese Armed Forces during an assault on a fishing town called Kilwa in October 2004 in which 70 to 100 civilians were killed. Other reports have also claimed that "the company’s vehicles were used, among other things, to remove corpses in the aftermath of the assault" and that "Despite multiple eyewitness testimonies, the company employees were acquitted". In one report also Canada's Barrick Gold was said to have had access to gold areas that were also out of bounds of the Congolese government and that it was also funding at least two rebel groups the UPC (Hema Union des Patriotes Congolais) and the FNI (Front des Nationalists Integrationnistes) to carry out the massacre of civilians of those areas. One final inclusion. In his book called Noir Canada: Pillage, corruption et criminalité en Afrique’ writer Alain Denault has described how "Canadian mining firms operating in Africa are involved in levels of abuse worse than those perpetrated by the former colonial empires". Canada now has assets of over 300 billion dollars in those African countries and has continued to exploit the natural resources of those poor countries not just in Africa but also South America and other countries around the world. These in my opinion has all constituted human rights abuses and most of which has taken place under that country's auspices of its "service to humanity" which has never been regarded in its true light until now. Now that its actions are being exposed finally that has also contradicted everything that human rights stands for and which has also been unknown to most people.

WHY THESE T.O. PUBLIC OFFICIALS SHOULD BE CHARGED WITH CORRUPTION


MARIA VARLOKOSTAS is the current Manager of Funds and Risk Management with the Toronto Social Housing Unit and these others. TONI MULGREW, PHIL BROWN, ADAM SHERMAN, HOWARD RUBENHOFF and JANET DAVIS, Toronto City Councillor should be investigated for corruption in how they go about hiring public companies and distributing funds to those companies whose actions are questionable. They also do everything possible to keep those companies on the City's payroll even after it has been proven that their actions goes against public interest. Councillor Janet Davis is the chairperson for several of those committees that oversees the hiring and funding of those companies including also those for the Toronto Social Housing Unit and she has also been instrumental in overlooking public complaints against some of those publicly appointed companies in order to keep them on the City's payroll. As for Maria Varlokostas who is the Manager of Funds and Risk Management for the Toronto Social Housing Unit and in regards to her proven record of keeping on those companies who do not serve in the best interest of the public and her other questionable actions all seemed to be a prerequisite also for her getting promoted with the City of Toronto. They also go about quietly maintaining their actions and when questions arises from the public in regards to their hiring practices which also in many cases has also shown a conflict of interest on their part and in the distribution of funds to some of those companies and how they also go about keeping them on after they have been discovered to have acted contrary or outside of their duties these are also overlooked by them and those companies are kept on indefinitely. The City of Toronto gives out millions of dollars in contracts to private companies each year and many of those that are kept on after their actions has proven to be against public interest has been allowed to do so because of the corrupt practices of those in charged of hiring those private companies. Some of those companies like Mintz and Partners Limited the accounting firm and M&P Property Management Ltd. are also undeserving of those appointments because of their actions or the actions of their employees that are also questionable. Both companies are also run by the larger accounting firm Deloitte which is a global accounting firm which does business also in many other countries besides Canada. And when questions arises from the public regarding their actions these are also ignored by those who has hired them. The Auditor General who is in charged of investigating the actions of Toronto City employees regarding the mismanagement of funds may also have a hard time investigating such companies or the agencies that has hired them such as the Toronto Social Housing Unit because their actions are covered up for the most part (in most cases complaints against them do not get any further than the committee that has hired them and the rest of City Council do not get to hear those public complaints against them)and also because of the conflict of interest that is also present regarding the actions of those City of Toronto employees in regards to their duties to the public and the private agenda that they also maintained which also makes it more difficult to scrutinized their actions which they also seemed to have covered up so well. The corruption also comes from their actions of not only maintaining those companies but also in going after members of the public in ways that are also criminal (such as reprisals) and that also goes against their office as well. They also go about doing so in secrecy by taking measures against such persons that has also violated their rights including in some cases more serious criminality on their part that should also be investigated because it involved further corruption by them and those targeted has to then take measures against them to protect their rights or to exposed them further. A classic example is in the recent reappointment of one of those companies Mintz and Partners Ltd and M&P Property Management Ltd. whose term as the court appointed receiver and manager was expired on August 12, 2009 (in regards to one of the properties that they have managed)but who has managed to keep their current position by being reappointed on August 4, 2009 thanks to those people just mentioned. Those companies mentioned has a very bad track record with regards to their actions and the public. From racism leveled against them to more serious accusations against them directly that has also charged them with more serious criminal actions by either their individual clients or the general public in regards to either them or their employees that also goes against the interest of the public. In order to be reappointed complaints against them from the public had to also be ignored by those in charged of hiring them and keeping them on. Those companies are very rich and has also handled millions of dollars in assets and properties for the City of Toronto and besides being rich they are also very corrupt and are also engaged in taking advantage of those who are in lesser positions than themselves not to mention some of their employees who has also been accused of being involved in some very serious crimes against the public. This is not defamation because all of these accusations about those companies can be proven and some has already been proven. Those complaints against them in regards to their recent reappointment were also never made available to the court (which had appointed them presumably in good faith but more so because no one had disputed their actions in regards to the said properties at that hearing which was also not made available to those who should have had that information) and their actions as the receiver and manager of the assets and properties amounting to millions of dollars or of their other duties as publicly appointed companies were therefore never questioned by the court and so these companies were allowed to carry on with their corrupt practices as usual. Thanks to those members of the Toronto City Council and the several agencies that they have also given autonomous powers such as the Toronto Social Housing Unit to hire such private companies and doing everything in their power to keep on those companies whose actions the public has now questioned in regards to the handling of their public duties or even in their private practice that has also gone against public interest. Those to be blamed for such companies actions are those corrupt Toronto public officials whose conflict of interest is so obvious also in regards to so many of their actions. Like those I've just mentioned. They have also attempted to go after those who has also exposed their actions to the public including me and some of them has also employed ways to go about doing so that are not only criminal but has also revealed their true characters as well.

Canada's Federal Court Orders Repatriation Of Torture Victim Abousfian Abdelrazik

Mr. Abousfian Abdelrazik who had fled Sudan as a refugee and was a Canadian citizen was denied entrance back into Canada after visiting a relative in Sudan in 2003. The Canadian Federal Court has ruled that since 2003 the Canadian government has repeatedly violated Abousifian Abdelrazik’s right to return to Canada and ordered the Canadian government to repatriate the Sudanese-born Canadian citizen within 30 days. Justice Russel Zinn said “Had it been necessary to determine whether the breach (of Adelrazik’s constitutional rights) was done in bad faith, I would have no hesitation making that finding on the basis of the record before me.” The judge also found that the Canadian state had first violated Abdelrazik’s right to return to Canada when it was complicit in his prolonged, indefinite detention without charge by the Sudanese state. Later after his second release from Sudanese prison in July 2006, Abdelrazik became ensnared in an unconstitutional legal-bureaucratic maze with Canadian authorities repeatedly introducing new impediments to his return to his home and family in Canada. More evidence has also come to light in the role of Canada's spy agency CSIS in Mr. Abdelrazik's detention in Sudan. According to one document that was released labeled also "secret", CSIS had asked the Sudanese government to arrest the Canadian man the files had revealed. "Now we have the smoking gun, that our government through CSIS was responsible for Mr. Abdelrazik's incarceration" in Sudan, said NDP MP Paul Dewar.

This is a familiar theme in regards to the Canadian Authorities and how it deals with certain Canadians. They are not all treated the same. It has also repeatedly been in violation of the international human rights law of non refoulement whereby this government has directly played a role in regards to the torture of those persons in countries that they know will definitely torture such persons should they returned but it has also turned a blind eye to this by either sending them back to be tortured by those governments or by not doing anything to return those who are in such countries back to Canada. Other cases similar to this one has also involved those persons who are seeking political asylum in Canada because of persecutions in their former countries. These are also arbitrarily returned despite the dangers that they also face in those countries because of their affiliations. Many of them are also currently sitting in Canadian jails awaiting deportations to those countries that will most likely put their lives in danger and the Canadian government is extremely selective in who it helps and also who it has allowed to be tortured and abused. Itself engaged in such actions when it also finds it necessary. And this is also against international human rights law.

RACISM AND CORRUPTION REGARDING THE TORONTO POLICE FORCE

THE TORONTO POLICE INVOLVEMENT IN RACE RELATED CRIMES

One of the most disgusting revelations that I have ever come across is in regards to the Toronto Police involvement in the perpetration of crimes against others in this society and all the while going about their daily business of presumably preserving the law. It is one of those issues that should be investigated fully because the police routinely carries out acts of terror and atrocities against the public that they themselves has either helped to orchestrate or is involved in directly and which also has violated those victims rights. As a Human Rights Activist I have also seen the length that they will go to try and implicate those that they have also targeted and using ways that are also illegal to do so. For the Toronto Police 13 Division in the area that I live in that city their actions has been recorded by me and others as being particularly disturbing because most of those crimes that they have also perpetrated against the public has for its basis racism. Specific targets of theirs such as this writer are also subjected to daily harassment from them and the many other ways that they have also employed in trying to set them up or to violate their rights in some other way. They also have helped other members of the public to do the same. I have personally witnessed that police division being involved in the perpetration of race related crimes and other criminal acts against the public and also proving themselves to be extremely racist which also does not surprise anyone. The fact that racism is an institution in this country and that the police is the extended arm of this government that are authorized to trample upon the rights of others in this society should be a concern for those interested in the protection of human rights in this country. They also carry out the most heinous and barbaric acts against some members of the public that should also be investigated seriously by those so called Human Rights organizations in Canada because these also constituted human rights abuse by international standards. This is why the public should support those who has been the targeted by the police or by the government for their beliefs or for other reasons. Those such as this writer and others who has made its actions known to the rest of the world and has been targeted directly as a result there by exposing its hypocrisy regarding human rights abuse that has long been covered up in this country. Your support for those who has been targeted will also go a long way towards protecting human rights in that country.

ANC CALLED CANADA'S REFUGEE SYSTEM RACIST

Canada's Double Standards Regarding Its Immigration Policy

So now Canada is a country that gives protection to refugees based on their race? If this is the case then why has this government not extended this courtesy to all refugee claimants? Not just to those who are white as in this case but also to those who are non white. A recent decision by the Canadian Immigration and Refugee Board that has granted refugee status to Brandon Huntley a white South African based solely on the grounds of his race has ignited a response from the public and also from the African National Congress that I believed are also justified. The decision itself was racist and anyone can see why the public has regarded this action by the Canadian government and The Immigration and Refugee Board which is also a very corrupt government agency as a racist decision on its part which also certainly do not promote racial equality in this country or in its international relations with other countries either.
Brandon Huntley the white South African who was granted refugee protection in Canada may have believed that his claim was justified but was it? Would anyone really say that white South Africans are persecuted by blacks under its current government as he has claimed?. And if that is the case why has the United Nations not been made aware of this Human Rights violations by the South African government? On the other hand Canada has taken it upon itself to intervened on behalf of white South Africans who believed that they are persecuted because of their race and has granted such refugee claimants refugee status in Canada. Many has regarded Canada's decision as being racist and it is difficult not to see why since it has previously made no such attempts to help Black South Africans during South Africa's Apartheid government. The decision by the Canadian Immigration and Refugee Board also discriminated against Blacks and other refugee claimants seeking refugee status in Canada for those same reasons cited by Brandon Huntley which are not only denied to them by the Canadian Immigration and Refugee Board but it is also not a part of this government's immigration policy that are in operation at this time. Blacks and other refugees from third world countries for instance are routinely denied refugee status in Canada no matter what their claims are or what their situation has implied including persecution based on race and other factors. My reasons for exposing Canada's hypocrisy and its racist immigration policy is that if it is going to use the category of race in its decisions then this should apply to all refugees and not not just white refugee claimants only as it has currently done. Some of the most persecuted people today are denied refugee status in Canada. Including the Palestinians and other non white groups. On the other hand Israeli citizens has been granted refugee status in Canada despite that government's response that their refugee claims are not legitimate. The Canadian government has still gone ahead and granted them refugee status in Canada anyway. It is not difficult then to see why this government actions has received such criticism in regards to its immigration policy which is also racist and bias. I've also included below some of the other published articles denouncing this government's actions regarding its refugee policy.(Due to the limited space only the relevant quotes are printed here).

Shock as Canada rejects Iraq refugees
Instead of joining kin here, applicants directed to ancestors' homeland...

Flood of Israeli Refugees to Canada Embarrasses Israeli Government
September/October 1994

Canada Calling

by John Dirlik
Ottawa's decision to grant refugee status to hundreds of Israelis seeking asylum in Canada has sparked a war of words between officials of the two countries... Most of the Israelis seeking refugee status in Canada are originally from the former Soviet Union. In order to have their claims accepted by Canadian immigration authorities, they have to prove that they would face state-sanctioned persecution in Israel... Israeli officials vehemently denied the refugee claims of persecution.
"It is absurd and ridiculous that holders of citizenship in an open Western democracy like Israel are benefiting from the status of refugee in Canada," said Israeli Foreign Ministry spokesman Rafi Gamzou. "These people [Soviet Jews] came to Israel on the way to somewhere else," he said. "They are using the refugee claim as an excuse to get into Canada quickly. Of course you can understand that it doesn't look good and it's not right, it's simply not true."

Responding to Israeli protests, Canada's immigration minister said he will not let Israel tell Ottawa what refugees to accept... "I don't think it's appropriate for another government to tell our government...who is a refugee or who is not," said Sergio Marchi(Canada's former Immigration Minister).

International Delegations Demand an End to the Deportations of Palestinian Refugees from Canada

On August 15th, members and supporters of the Coalition Against the
Deportation of Palestinian Refugees visited Canadian Immigration offices,
Consulates and Embassies in Ottawa, Toronto, Montreal, New York, London,
Beirut, Amman and the United Arab Emirates, to demand an immediate end of
deportations for all Palestinians in Canada and for them to be granted
permanent resident status. Joe Volpe, Minister of Citizenship and Immigration Canada, continues to ignore the Coalition's demands. He and members of his ministry have refused to meet with Coalition members and ignored the support they have from civil society and individuals across Canada and the world. After over two years of organizing and fighting against their deportations,Palestinian refugees and their supporters took the initiative on August 15th to remind Volpe of their demands, and their will to continue fighting.

Canada's farcical refugee system
author: Stoffman, Daniel
Publication Name: Reader's Digest (Canadian)

Canada is one of the few countries that grant refugee status to Israelis. The practice has been strongly criticized since Israel is a parliamentary democracy that upholds the human rights of its citizens.

Note: (I like most people would disagree with the author on that last point)

So why are White South Africans and not Black South Africans (those previously under South Africa's Apartheid government) granted refugee status in Canada? or why do Israelis and not Palestinians granted refugee status in Canada? Do you see the discrepancy in its actions? The answer of course is simple enough. Racism plays a pivotal role in the decisions of this government.

EXPOSING CORRUPTION IN THE CANADIAN COURTS


JUSTICE OF THE PEACE VASILIOS (BILL) FATSIS
There is in my opinion nothing honorable about this Justice of the Peace.
For those who are unfamiliar with the legal system in Canada, the information presented here should be an eye opener. Let me state this very clearly. Corruption is the order of the day as far as how Judges and Justice of the Peace, conduct the court. Few of them are morally upstanding. Most are corrupted and is part of the overall system that exist, that has also tramples upon the rights of people in this country. The case against Ontario Justice of the Peace Vasilios Bill Fatsis, is one of those examples regarding how Justices of the Peace, can act outside of their administrative duties, to pervert the law. The most common accusations against them is personal bias, influenced by other factors such as racism, or as in this case a conspiracy, I believed, not to exercise the law in my case. The conspiracy involved, I believed, also the police and the court and the fact that they have worked together to prevent me from exercising my rights as a member of the public. What I want to exposed here is what I believed to be the personal bias and corruption of that Justice of the Peace, Bill Fatsis, and how such actions on his part, has also interfered with the administration of justice in my case and as a member of the public. He has not only shown a disregard for those rights that I have, as a member of the public, but he has also not considered the implications of his actions, upon the public(which is what corruption is, when it is commited by government or by other public officials, such as in this case). What I had been trying to do, was to exercise my right to lay a private complaint (charge), against those persons who has been harassing me, repeatedly, for years in my home. As members of my Coop, I had been targeted by them specifically, for years and as I have mentioned here on my blog, that this targeting was also the result, I believed, of the police and those persons, acting together. I have been unable to have them charged for their attacks against me, or to exercise my rights, as a member of the public, thanks to the corruption that is also involved, which has not only included the conspiracy between those persons and others, such as the police directly, but also the court, as far as the influence of the police is concerned. It would appear also, that I am the one that they would like to charge instead, but because I have been exposing their actions publicly, they are acting in other ways, to try and interfere with my rights. Being the target of the police for many years, I also know how they operates. Since I also believed that they are behind the harassment that I have also been experiencing by those persons it is also no stretch of the immagination to believed that they are also involved in preventing me from laying any charges against them as well. They I also believed has been carrying out those actions on behalf of the police and others and with also with their open knowledge and consent. When for instance I called the police about them they did not even make a pretence of investigating. It was also very evident that they were not going to do anything on my behalf. But their influence also goes further I believed to influence also the court in the conspiracy involved. This is not an exaggeration. Once many years ago when I had gone to the same court to charge my now ex spouse the Justice of the Peace at that Court 1000 Finch Avenue West in Toronto in my presence called the police division in my area which is the Toronto's 13 Division Police (that is also implicated in so many other illegal actions in regards to me) and after hanging up the telephone he told me that I could not lay the charge. (It was a domestic case). So I'm talking from personal experience with that police division (13 Division)and that court. Other evidence has also included the appeals that has been made by the public in order to exercise their rights against the decisions of the Judges or the Justices of the Peace at that court. In mandamus decisions that has been made some members of the public has been able to later exercise their rights to lay a private complaint. But this is also an uncommon practice in Canadian courts as well. The public is usually told by the court staff when a Justice of the Peace has not respected their rights that they have no other recourse available to them. Formal complaints against those Justice of the Peace are also a waste of time because of the corruption that is also involved in the complaint process against them. The best recourse that the public has is to expose their actions publicly in the court of public opinion when they refused to act the way that they are supposed to and disregarded the administration of justice in their decisions. Evidence abounds in the Canadian Courts of Appeals in regards to their actions and especially in regards to their personal influence in cases before them. Sometimes the public gets a reprieve while most of the time they do not in regards to those Justice of the Peace who acts corruptly by disregarding the law in their decisions involving those cases. Other factors such as race also comes into play in their decisions such as when or if they decides to lay a charge and against whom. Personal bias on the part Judge or the Justice of the Peace is also nothing new. It has been going on for a long time and has adversely affected the lives of those members of the public who has been unfortunate enough to experienced it. Those Judges and Justices of the Peace are now being exposed by members of the public because they also finds that those dispensing the law has no regards for it themselves since they are so easily influence by other factors that also has to do with denying the rights of those members of the public. It is almost a waste of time to make a formal complaint against those corrupted Justice or the Peace or Judges in those cases. The public has found out that this does not necessarily stop those actions from them as the problem is so widespread. Their actions not only interferes with the fundamental rights of the person before them but also the law as well. I was also not entirely surprised at the decision of Justice of the Peace Bill Fatsis because as mentioned before he was in my opinion personally influenced by other factors other than the law when he made his decision at least in my case. Not the least of which is the conspiracy that exist which I also believed was the true motivation behind his decision in that case. To prevent a member of the public from exercising their rights because of scrupulous actions on the part of a presiding administrator of the court should also be contested by every member of the public. Justice of the Peace like Vasilios (Bill) Fatis and others need to know that the public is also aware of their actions when they dispense the law and when their actions also adversely affected the lives of the public. We often calls this an error of judgement on their part but that is only a nice way of saying that they are corrupted and that they have f--k you up deliberately. We will exposed them and their actions when this happens and take all steps to exercise our rights as members of the public. The public should then decides if they want such persons continuing to represent either the law or their interest for that matter. Corruption by the Canadian Courts is common knowledge in this country and the personal influence of those dispensing the law is also a problem that has often been ignored as well and when this is also influenced by other factors the result is always the miscarriage of justice that the public has to put up with. Like I said before formal complaints don't always work because the entire judicial system is corrupted. What matters is that those who are appointed to dispense justice do so fairly and in a manner that will protect the rights of members of the public. When they don't they will be forced to do so even if we have to make their actions public so that they cannot hide behind it any longer and continue to make a mockery of justice. What I want to exposed here is that the Canadian justice system is seriously flawed. When you have a system for instance that also allows the court to conduct a mock trial where evidence is also brought forth at those mock trials called a preenquete hearing most of which is conducted in closed door hearings with the participants being the only witnesses and no other members of the public. That is only the person laying the private complaint(or charge) and the justice of the peace as well as the crown attorney as well as the court administrative staff a lot can and do go wrong at those hearings. It is far different from a trial where in most cases there are other members of the public presented and can also observed the proceedings. At preenquete hearings the door to the court room is locked and no other persons are allowed in the court room except those directly involved in the proceedings. At no time at those hearings also are the accused present. It is a one sided proceeding that should have no basis in the law and also seemed to violate the human rights of the informant in that case having been forced to present evidence and to give testimony at those hearings and then after all of that the person wishing to exercise their rights regarding the laying of the charges cannot have the accused brought to justice. It is a seriously flawed system where the Justice of the Peace gets to act in ways that he may not normally be allowed to do had there been a real trial with other participants including other members of the public watching. Preequete hearings in Canadian courts are a misrepresentation of justice. Period. Justices of the Peace who do not act appropriately at those hearings because they for one believes that their actions will never be exposed because usually when they make a decision that is often the end of the case unless the public goes further and tries to appeal his decision which has also been known to get thrown out of court by another corrupt Judge or Justice of the Peace which also perpetuates the cycle of the denial of justice for those persons. It has been revealed here on my blog and by others that when Canadian Judges or Justice of the Peace wants to act corruptly they would also conduct closed door hearings and exclude the public from participating. They also forbids the recording of these hearings by any recording devices such as cameras and audio tapes. Rarely does the public's complaints about those infringes upon their rights are heard. In some rare instances the member of the public who was denied justice regarding their case by a corrupt Justice of the Peace or Judge will in some cases be allowed to have their matter heard a second time by way of a mandamus decision regarding their case. But like I said this is also not usually the case because efforts will be made to discourage the public from doing so and especially when they told by the presiding Justice of the Peace as in my case or even by the court administrative staff that that is the end of the road for in regards to that matter. The court has a responsibility to informed the public correctly about their rights and not to pervert justice further by deliberately lying to them about their rights. I encouraged the public to exposed those actions by the courts which conducts those hearings in such manner and revealed the names of the Judges or Justice of the Peace like Justice of the Peace Bill Fatsis who does so. Often it is because they wish to hide their actions from the public. Those actions by them that are in violation of the rights of members of the public and also has no basis in law. Preenquete hearings is a concept that is implemented by the Canadian Courts that fundamentally interferes with the rights of the public. Closed door hearings in general should also make the public suspicious regarding those conducting such hearings. It is a corrupt system and one that is so common in Canadian courts that no one questions it anymore. But one which also interferes with the rights of the public for many different reasons. I also want to mention the name of the crown attorney in that case Jennifer Rodopoulos who was in my opinion also part of the conspiracy to deprived me of my rights. This is how thy advance in their career in the legal system. By collaborating with others in perverting justice or in denying the rights of others in this society. They will disregard the evidence of the case and replace it with their own personal bias. I could mentioned here other statistics in regards to the discrimination that is faced by some people within the Canadian judicial system but it is a waste of time. As a member of a marginalized group I have gotten used to this kind of justice and as a Black woman I know that I am very much viewed as a threat to the current system as far as my views or in how I go about exposing their actions to the public. The reasons that I tried to exercise my rights to lay those charges has included being targeted by those persons that has also included being stalked by one or more of them and targeted and harassed by them on a daily basis for years now. They have even included coming to my door and banging on it or trying to open it with their keys as well as banging on my walls and other actions on their part. I mentioned these things here because the public can judge for themselves if those actions wouldn't cause someone to fear for their safety as I have done by trying to get those persons charged but because of the conspiracy involving regarding the police and the courts I have not so far been able to do. The bitch who acted as the crown attorney Jennifer Rodopoulos even suggested that I moved instead of trying to exercise my rights as a member of the public. The Justice of the Peace Bill Fatsis was worst and he demonstrated what so many others has already suspected. How the influence of others can affect their decisions. And most importantly how in many cases their decisions has no basis in the law or in protecting the rights of a member of the public. He was unconcerned about both my safety as well as how he had dispensed the law hoping that I would accept his decision openly violate my rights further and this was also clear to see by his actions of overlooking the evidence in that case. As a social activist and someone who has exposed this kind of corruption about them (court and the police) I therefore surmised that this was also a factor in their decisions in regards to me as well. This is one of those cases involving what I clearly believed is a conspiracy to pervert justice in this case. Not only by the actions of the Justice of the Peace Vasilios (Bill) Fatsis but also others involved to prevent me from exercising my rights or to further their own cause against me which is the same thing. "Canada Court Watch" website has a listing of Judges and Justices of the Peace from across Canada that the public has complaint about. Check that site out.

THE DISHONORABLE JUSTICE D. BALTMAN BRAMPTON SUPERIOR COURT


Like so many Ontario Justice of the Peace who are corrupted this one Justice of the Peace Deena F. Baltman sits on the Brampton Superior Court of Justice and instead of dispensing justice she instead carries out her own version of it. It is extremely unfortunate and also to the public disadvantage for this woman to continue to decide on those family cases before her. It is most unfortunate for the children in those cases because she does not make her decisions in regards to the best interest of the child but other factors. For example she is most definitely influenced by the actions of others including the court staff. One of those court staff Rhonda Marshall recently sent Justice of the Peace Baltman an internal memo that was unfortunately for her also read out in court that also reflected negatively on those who had their case before her. The memo was intended to influence her decision in regards to that particular case. It is not uncommon for the Judge or the Justice of the Peace in Ontario courts to obstruct justice in cases before them by their joint collaboration with court staff in those cases. There are numerous complaints in regards to that. (See also "Court Watch" website on that issue). For instance what the public has also observed in those cases in that the particular Justice of the Peace Deena F.Baltman would leave those cases that she intends to influence personally to the last when the court room is empty or cleared of most of the participants and then acts or carries out decisions that are not in the public best interest. As I and others like Court Watch and other members of the public has observed this is also a very common practice in all of the courts in Ontario. Brampton Court in Ontario also has those court staff who I and others have believed do not serve the interest of the public. It has included such persons as Joan Zammit who is a supervisor at that court and is very disregarding in how she deals with the public at that court. The biggest concern of course are those regarding Justice of the Peace such as J.P Deena F. Baltman or others such as Justice David L. Corbett who disregards the administration of justice in their decisions and has no regard for either the public or the law itself. She also has a very big ego which is also noticeable to the public and does this too seemed to be a factor in regards to how she handles cases before her. Among her other past roles are those as adjudicator and mediator for several tribunals and one can only wonder how she has handled those other public offices as well. With the same disregard for the law as she has shown as a Justice of the Peace. (I have deliberately refrained from mentioning the names of some of those tribunals that she has also chaired because it would appear to make this report bias. (Because one or more of them has been regularly mentioned here on my blog and although this did not influence me in my reporting of the facts concerning her new role as a Justice of the Peace and how she has perverted the administration of justice in that new role as well).

CANADA CHARGED WITH VIOLATING U.N. TORTURE CONVENTION

A Press Release on Canada's Ongoing Violations of Human Rights (Reprinted Here)
The International Coalition against Torture (InCAT) will present on Tuesday May 3rd in Geneva a submission to the United Nations Committee against Torture that Canada is violating the Convention against Torture for denying to torture victims in Canada the ability to sue in Canadian courts the states that have tortured them. The submission will be made by David Matas and Houshang Bouzari. The Convention against Torture requires Canada to "ensure in its legal system that the victim of an act of torture obtains redress and has an enforceable right to fair and adequate compensation".

Different Kinds Of Human Rights Abuse In Canada

Torture of political activists, disregard for respecting human rights, deplorable treatments of the poor and the mentally ill who are also arbitrarily taken off the streets and put in jail just to fill up the jails where many are often raped and given drugs against their will and for crimes that do not warrant such treatment. Systematic racism and oppression against marginalized groups in Canada and the denial of their rights. The corruption of Canadian government officials that is also routine and also regarded as a normal practice. Institutionalization of racism that is also pervasive in all areas of society and the targeting of those groups specifically by the government which has also led to the further denial of their rights. Arbitrary arrests and detention of political activists and the destruction of the lives of targeted persons by the government such as those who advocate on behalf of social justice in this country. The use of technologically advance weapons by the Canadian authorities against dissidents and against other specific targets and subjecting them to the violation of their human rights in other ways including the denial of their rights under the law. Most notably victims of torture and abuse by the police that are also carried out systematically by them against specific targets or groups. A political system that is racist and denies the rights of select groups of people as well as to oppress them.

The United Nations Convention Against Torture And The Canadian Government Violations of It

Consider These Facts:
-That the Canadian Government targets individuals and also subjects them to torture that are carried out by Canadian authorities
-Widespread corruption and abuse by Canadian government elected and public
officials
-Systematic racism practiced.
-Denial of the individual rights and freedom which also includes arbitrary arrests
and detentions (often without warrants by the police)
- Suppression of freedom of speech
- The use of illegal methods used against intended targets such as activists
journalists and advocates of social justice in Canada
- Deliberate destruction of their lives or livelihood by the efforts of the
government.
The use of advance technology at their disposal against such targets that causes
them permanent injuries as well as physical and psychological tactics also used to cause them injury
- Disregard for respecting the human rights of persons or groups in its own country
- Creating a propaganda about it true role in human rights violations as part of
its intentions to deceive the international human rights community while carrying
out its torture and abuse of citizens in its own country.
- Disregard for the administration of justice which is totally ignored by the
Canadian judicial system where judges and others who themselves are engaged in
breaking the law and denied citizens their rights to a fair judicial process which is often tainted by racism and bias
- A history of human rights abuse that has been ignored for the most part.
- Continued violation of the United Nations Charter on Human Rights as well as
other standards set by the International Human Rights Courts in its own country
- A deliberate attempt to deceive others regarding its own human rights violations
- A disregard for honoring the international treaties set up to monitor human rights standards in each country
- A racist immigration policy that ignores rather than helps those people of third world countries and especially those from such countries who are seeking asylum in Canada who are deliberately targeted by the Canadian government through this policy against such people and the countries that they are from many of whom are denied their rights under international laws while being in Canada. On the contrary its commitment to those European countries and people from those countries shows the disparity in regards to its international policy in giving aid to those countries.
- All non white people in Canada are deliberately excluded from enjoying the same privileges as whites in this country. This is further enforced by certain racist policies and by the actions of those currently in government. It takes much effort on the part of those communities to be included because there is definitely an agenda by the Canadian government to deny them certain rights that are inherent to them as human beings and as members of this society. Canada practices a double standards both internationally and at home among its own people.

Quote Of The Day

We can have democracy in this country, or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of a few, but we can't have both."-- Louis Brandeis, US Supreme Court justice from 1916-1939

Note: (This should apply to all so called democratic countries)

CANADA'S CONTINUED VIOLATIONS ON HUMAN RIGHTS

Victims of Political persecutions in Canada. The targeting and framing up of political activists and the Torture suffered by victims of Human Rights Abuse and Torture by the Canadian Government.
The code of silence by Human Rights Organizations inside of Canada including Amnesty International regarding some targeted individuals or groups within Canada such Blacks, Palestinians and others.
That country's human rights violations has also included the corruption of the police and other government officials and also their abuse of the basic human rights of specifically targeted persons in that country. Corruption at all levels of government is rampant and most are given immunity for their actions that goes against the fundamentals of human rights and the law. The media also has played a role in the lack of unaccountability on their part by being very bias in its reporting of those human rights violations such as racism that are committed by them and which is actually an institution in this country. This is why the public needs to support those who has exposed this kind of hypocrisy on its part by supporting websites such as this one. It will go a long way towards protecting the human rights of persons including the author of this blog who has also come under attack for exposing the actions of those corrupt Canadian government officials.

CANADA'S IMMIGRATION MINISTER JASON KENNEDY IS BEING SUED BY BRITISH M.P. GEORGE GALLOWAY

British M.P. George Galloway who was banned from entering Canada is suing the Canadian Immigration Minister Jason Kennedy. Galloway who was scheduled to speak in Canada about the Israeli government's actions was refused entry into Canada and is suing the Canadian Immigration Minister Jason Kennedy for this redress.

Canada's Immigration Minister Jason Kennedy has also enforced a policy that targets people of color and the Palestinians specifically. What most people do not realized is that Palestinians are denied as refugees in Canada. This action by the Canadian government against the Palestinians is directly the result of its relationship with Israel. Palestinians are not considered as conventional refugees by the Canadian government and not even under the United Nations protection such as those offered under its humanitarian and compassionate grounds. Facing persecution and political and social upheaval in their homeland they are still denied refugee status in Canada. I believed that the Canadian people could have benefited from the information that the British M.P. George Galloway would have provided to them had it not been for the interference of Jason Kennedy.

ON THAT NOTE ALSO: Canada has also removed both Israel and the US from off of its torture list as countries that commits torture against its citizens

DEALING WITH VICTIMS OF TORTURE BY THE CANADIAN GOVERNMENT

These acts of State sponsored terror are usually the work of the Canadian authorities at all levels. And although the police is to be blamed for most of those actions some of the other Canadian government agencies such as CSIS are also to be blamed. Even though the latter is not officially a police agency it still works directly with other police agencies to provide information to them which are also often obtained illegally. For this reason alone it has been implicated in many illegal actions in regards to the gathering of information that are often used against those targets of the government that has included the torture of those persons within Canada as well as to contribute to the torture of other Canadians by other governments around the world. A lot of attention has been given to CSIS actions in regards to allowing the information that it has shared with others that has also led to the direct torture of innocents persons and for reasons that are known only to those involved in such conspiracies. The most famous of which is the Maher Arar case but there are countless other cases which are not so well known that has all contributed to the Canadian government's role in the torture of persons within Canada and elsewhere. In Canada victims of torture often are those who has belonged to a particular group or those who has advocated against this government's actions regarding social injustices in this country. Others are targeted for different reasons and I might add that none of those reasons are justified in the attacks against them. These are well orchestrated attacks and involved the used of methods that are illegal and often detrimental to the victims. The victims also has no recourse for help in this country as torture is not recognized as taking place in in this country by both the Canadian government and other Human Rights Organizations within Canada. This is of course a false view with regards to that issue and it is only by reading about this information from those who has been directly affected by this government's actions such as on this blog that you will get an insight as to the real truth in regards to that issue. In the meantime I encouraged you to support all victims of torture and human rights abuse by the Canadian government and you can start doing so by supporting this blog directly and the author who is also a victim of this government's conspiracy against her that has also seen the destruction of her life and other illegal actions by the Canadian government against her that has also denied her her rights within this country and has also violated international laws in regards to Human Rights regarding her case. This has included all Canadian government agencies working against her including the police and their tireless efforts to undermine her success and to destroy her outright. Everything written about them in regards to her case is factual and has continued up until the present time. As a result of the actions taken against her by those corrupted Canadian government agencies and officials she has become an advocate for social justice in Canada. Exposing the truth in regards to its human rights abuse and its disregards for respecting the rights of all persons in this country.

Re: The Canadian Centre For Victims Of Torture

A PUBLIC CAMPAIGN AGAINST THE CANADIAN CENTRE FOR VICTIMS OF TORTURE
IT DOES NOT HELP OR RECOGNIZED VICTIMS OF TORTURE WITHIN CANADA BY THE CANADIAN AUTHORITIES.

It is necessary first to also define what torture is under the United Nations Convension Against Torture and Other Cruel Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment. Torture under that article is defined as:

Any act by which severe pain or suffering whether physical or mental is intentionally inflicted on a person for such purposes as obtaining from him, or a third person, information or a confession punishing him for an act he or a third person has committed or is suspected of having committed, or intimidating or coercing him or a third person or for any reason based on discrimination of any kind when such pain or suffering is inflicted by or at the instigation of or with the consent or acquiescence of a public official or other person acting in an official capacity. It does not include pain or suffering arising only from, inherent in or incidental to lawful sanctions.
– Convention Against Torture, Article 1.1
Further to quote from the International Rehabilitation Council for Torture Victims
"From this definition, it can be said that torture is the intentional infliction of severe mental or physical pain or suffering by or with the consent of the state authorities for a specific purpose. The aim of torture is to break down the victim's personality and is often used to punish obtain information or a confession take revenge on a person or create terror and fear within a population...
Torture is distinguished from other forms of ill-treatment by the severe degree of suffering involved. It encompasses many forms of suffering, both physical and psychological, which are remarkably similar worldwide. Most techniques seek to prolong the victims' pain and fear for as long as possible without leaving visible evidence...
It is important not to forget about psychological forms of ill-treatment which very often have the most long-lasting consequences for victims...Who are the victims?...Frequent victims are politicians, union leaders, journalists health professionals, human rights defenders, people in detention, or prison members of ethnic minorities and student leaders.
Victims of torture do not suffer alone. In many cases the victims' families and friends are also affected. The broader society may also be indirectly affected. The use of torture sends a strong warning to those within a political social or religious opposition. Who are the perpetrators? Those most likely to be involved in torture and other forms of ill-treatment are:
• the police
• the military
• paramilitary forces
• state-controlled contra-guerrilla forces. But perpetrators may also include:
• prison officers
• death squads
• any government official
• health professionals
• co-detainees acting with the approval or on the orders of public officials

I have started a public campaign against the Canadian Centre for Victims of Torture. This is because this agency has been complacent in regards to victims of torture within Canada. It does not support such victims or even recognized such actions taking place within Canada and it also reports directly back to the Canadian government though it is not a government agency. This is not helping the situation for those victims of abuse and torture within this country most of whom have been targeted by the Canadian authorities and in some cases by the Canadian government directly. I have given this subject wide coverage on my blog because I have been personally affected by the actions of those Canadian authorities and knows of other cases as well taking place within this country that violates international standards on human rights. DO NOT SUPPORT ORGANIZATIONS LIKE CANADIAN CENTRE FOR VICTIMS OF TORTURE. Until this organization recognizes and helps those victims of torture within this country its should not even be considered as being of any help in that area. It must begin to take such claims that are happening here, just as seriously as it does for those other cases that it is mandated to investigate on behalf of the Canadian government. I believe that it has compromised its position by not officially recognizing such cases within Canada. Of course, the Canadian government endorses this position. But that is not exactly the truth of the matter. I respect any person or organization who is bold enough to speak the truth on these issues.

THE CONSPIRACY AGAINST ME BY MY ENEMIES

The Price Of Freedom In This Country
Why I believed more than ever that this kind of corruption needs to be exposed because it directly jeopardizes the well being of people in this society. I'm going to talk here of one that I know of personally. Why? Because it involves me directly. The conspirators here are all known to me and has played a role in certain actions that were taken against me that were detrimental to me of course. Because of the fact that legal actions has been taken against some of them already and that more legal actions are definitely being considered I don't mind mentioning some of the details (but not all) here. One of those that I believed to be involved in those attacks against me is Adam Sherman. He works for a company called Mintz and Parners that I have already mentioned here on my blog. That company manages the Coop that I live in and it is also funded by the City of Toronto to oversee the everyday management of the Coop as well as other properties or assets of the City of Toronto. Questions has already come up in regards to its activities including promoting racism at the Coop by its own employees such as Adam Sherman (who has also been strangely silent on that issue and as the Manager of the Coop has taken absolutely no actions to protect the rights of those Members who are affected by those actions some of them being called the "N" word and others like me who has been personally targeted and harassed on the direct instructions of Adam Sherman who has also given protection to those Members who has targeted other Members of the Coop and those Members are also white. Other concerns about them has also included the mismanagement of funds and the maintenance of the building. What they (Mintz and Partners)wants to do is to continue to to hold on to their contract with the City of Toronto while at the same time have acted in ways that are not in the best interest of the public. And when a few days ago Adam Sherman was given some documents in regards to an investigation I immediately saw an increased in the harassment by some neighbours which also came as no surprised to me because it is the usual action that has been taken by him in the past as well as now against those who has complained about his actions as well as by the company that he has also represented. I have mentioned those incidences here on my blog because as a member of the public I get tired of those others in this society who believes that some people should not have the same rights that they do and go about ways in which to deprived them of those rights that they have. Exposing their actions publicly I find has served as a deterrent to those publicly appointed persons such as Adam Sherman and others mentioned by me here that goes against public interest. Another one of the conspirators in this I believed is of course the 13 Division Police in my area. It has worked closely with those mentioned directly in the conspiracy against others including me. Again I have evidence to prove my case and has mentioned some already here on my blog. When I first moved into the building I was told this fact by other residents but I had to witnessed it for myself to believe it. The fact is that this information about them and especially in promoting racism against others in this society is definitly true and they have also used intimidation against certain people to keep them and others from taking any kind of actions against them or against those involved such as the Management in this case or against the people that works for that company such as Adam Sherman and others.
