TURMEL: Covid Restrictions Challenge Judge wastes more time JCT: It may be hard to find my reports in this plethora of articles but they're all at http://smartestman.ca/c19reps After our appointed Case Management Judge (CMJ) Prothonotary Mandy Aylen asked the Initial Nine plaintiffs if they opposed being stayed and cut out of the documentation loop, and a lot said no, she then stayed them and cut them out. The stay was extended to any new plaintiffs who filed. But not the second 50 after the Initial Nine. She asked the second 50 group the same questions asked of the first nine and on April 26 pronounced the same decision as for the first. So that wasted a few extra weeks. And to waste even more time, she issued an Order to me too: T-130-21- TURMEL, John v Her Majesty the Queen Direction of Madam Prothonotary Aylen dated April 26, 2021; "The parties shall confer regarding the timetable for next steps in this proceeding and shall, by no later than May 5, 2021, provide the Court with a jointly- proposed timetable and the availability of the parties for a case management conference (in the event that the Court determines that one is required)." JCT: It is a complete waste of time to be discussing the timetable for next steps to take when the steps to take are laid out in the Rules. Now that the question of stays is final, she could have just directed: OK Crown, you've had 3 months to prepare, file your motion to strike in 4 days, file the Turmel response in 4 days, the Crown Reply in 4 days. But no, she wants us to spend time discussing a timetable for the steps that are already laid out in the Rules: https://laws.justice.gc.ca/eng/regulations/SOR-98-106/FullText.html PART 7 Motions 362 (1) Subject to subsection (2), on a motion other than a motion under rule 369, JCT: A motion under Rule 369 is in writing! a notice of motion and any affidavit required under rule 363 shall be served and filed at least three days before the day set out in the notice for the hearing of the motion. 365 (1) Subject to subsections 213(4) and 369(2), a respondent to a motion shall serve a respondent's motion record and file an electronic copy of or three paper copies of the record no later than 2:00 p.m. on the day that is two days before the day fixed for the hearing of the motion. Motions in writing 369 (1) A party may, in a notice of motion, request that the motion be decided on the basis of written representations. JCT: This is what I prefer. Most people I help aren't debaters and so it's best to keep the argument in writing between me and the Crown. (2) A respondent to a motion brought in accordance with subsection (1) shall serve and file a respondent's record within 10 days after being served under rule 364 and, if the respondent objects to disposition of the motion in writing, indicate in its written representations or memorandum of fact and law the reasons why the motion should not be disposed of in writing. (3) A moving party may serve and file written representations in reply within four days after being served with a respondent's record under subsection (2). (4) On the filing of a reply under subsection (3) or on the expiration of the period allowed for a reply, the Court may dispose of a motion in writing or fix a time and place for an oral hearing of the motion. JCT: So those are the rules. If the Crown files a regular motion for a live zoom hearing that you won't get to see, they have to file their motion record 3 days before the hearing date. The Respondent files 2 days before. Motions in writing under Rule 369 are responded to within 10 days and the mover may Reply within 4 more. So what are the Crown and I supposed to discuss about the next steps when all steps are laid out in the Rules? Pure waste of time. I was hoping the extra time would add more plaintiffs and more pressure on the Crown and Bench until I heard of the suicides of the business people who lost everything. I don't like blood on my hands due to the delay. I could have appealed for a quicker timetable but chose to wait for more numbers. Logic is fine if the judge has his eyes open, but bigger numbers are more impressive for judges who do not. When we hit 400, or 1,000, or 10,000, we may get the attention of Rebel News. then our Court Resistance could really grow. Seems 70 plaintiffs isn't big enough yet to get Rebel attention. It almost feels like the medpot challenges over the past 2 decades. Those done by lawyers were always well covered by media but never aimed at repealing prohibition, they were always attacking some less or to find a way to live with prohibition. But I always went for repeal. Their actions were phony. Only mine sought real remedy. And it feels the same here. Lawyers going for minor stuff that helps almost no one. Curfews for the homeless are unconstitutional! How many would that win help? Forced to stay in vaccine hotels upon return from other countries is unconstitutional! How many will that help? Yes, it is different that these lawyers don't know how they were tricked, so shooting small is all they know. Medpot shysters didn't have to shoot small but did. Here, catching the bad guys fudging the numbers with a false comparison is very powerful, but the lawyers were suckered with everyone else. Except, once any one reads our Apple Orange complaint, they now they know how they were easily fooled. And may do nothing with what they now know? When we give someone a flyer, it's their judgment day. In 10 years, when this is long over, they can be asked: "Why didn't you tell others, even shout about the mis-comparison once you saw it? Why did you let the lockdown continue knowing what you had found out? Same questions for judges. Anyone who reads the Statement of Claim knows the threat was an elementary statistical fraud.. or they were too stupid to understand something as simple as comparing a watermelon to a grape while being told they were both grapes! "Didn't you understand how you were fooled? Not yet? Can't judge?" I could appeal and make a stink of the stalling tactics and ask to force the Crown motion forward (reducing the blood on both our hands) but it's the numbers that will make the case to low-tech judges way more than the math of the hoax. So I don't mind mind building numbers while the CMJ stalls even if it ends up with more suicided victims. The stakes we are gambling are frighteningly high. How do you think I feel waiting for more numbers while people are dying? Could be the wrong play if we'd have caught a wise judge with his eyes open. But that's a rarity. Have to go with the odds. So we must use the time being wasted to add to the numbers. It's all we have left right now. It's the reason I go to every demo within reach. It would be nice if I got to speak to the crowds but I'm a show-stealer and no organizer wants that. And people have so little personal initiative that no one in the 700 Brantford protestors I gave a flyer to filed. And I don't think any of the Stratford 700 protestors I gave a flyer to filed either. What we've learned is that we pretty well have to do it for them. They are a generation waiting for someone else to save them. But we're trying. So I have to discuss the timetable of next steps with the Crown before Maq 5 while I can't imagine what we are going to discuss.
