Why? Edward Snowden and Bradley Manning managed to get jobs, why shouldn't our friend here?

I'm not siding with him, mind you, I'm just saying that it's obvious that the people running military intelligence are not so intelligent themselves.

   

I love your rationale. Funny that you are are open to disbelieving anything I state about what the apparatus is doing to me, the stick I received to my balls, my interview with the CAF etc. but you have no problem believing all of the things I admitted to doing. With such obvious bias, why even engage in the conversation?

I don't want to rehash the entire Heritage Front history, believe me there is a great deal out there including a session of Parliamentary Subcommittee Hearing that took place in 1995 to discuss the extent of what CSIS was doing with their prized undercover Grant Bristow. He resurfaced years later as Nathan Black, pretending to be a reporter for the Seattle Times when getting involved in the Edmonton elections...he was taken to court for this. You can be sure that if you made a phone call to the Heritage Front Hotline number you are in a DB somewhere. Doesn't matter if you knew who they were, joined the group, met the group or dialed the wrong number, you are flagged.

How about the RCMP actions in Montebello, Quebec? The taser case in B.C that cost a Polish citizen his life and for which the police lied on the stand. Ian Bush taking a bullet in the back of the head and the officer being docked 1 days pay? If you think somehow all citizens grievances are b.s and all federal police agents are the salt of the earth, you are even more naive than I am.

Bottom line is that in a democracy, "pissing someone off" isn't grounds for lifetime persecution. I am not going to apply for asylum based on hate speech, as I have not been involved in hate speech, the dispersement of hate or violence against anyone. I have had a number of Domestic and Internationally protected Rights stripped from me, including though not limited to threats of violence, though that is only one of the issues. I am a simple, naive, justice loving citizen who believes in the rule of law. This isn't 1105 where pissing off the King is cause for being beheaded. If I hadn't pursued a legal action and been denied access to my evidence that they hold in their dossier, I would be in a different position, but I conducted all the steps I was supposed to in order to alleviate my persecution.

If you have any constructive ideas, fire away. If you have a newspaper contact willing to expose CSIS, let me know (good luck getting any paper willing to piss off CSIS).

   

I get that, my old man was LEO and of course you give that kind of power to someone and there is a chance they may become corrupt. I was LEO before I got my leg mangled (as you may remember) now I do work in security, and I don't doubt that he got beat by the police, I've seen them get "aggressive" with people we've turned over to them, its the decisions the guy has made, there are 3 sides to most stories, and I firmly believe there is more to this than this guy lets on.

   

The Guardian will do it.

Having gone through this process successfully, I know you aren't requested to apply for a specific position. You are given aptitude tests, and that determines which trades and careers you can apply for, based on openings. However, that all being said, maybe things have changed. Others who were in more recently may have a better insight. Military Intelligence is something that most liberal arts(Psych, Poli Sci, History, Geography and Education) types easily qualify for, so it's nothing special.

   

Not since they are 'flagged'.

If you have a problem in your childhood, and you get interviewed by the military years later, and nothing comes up, and you make an issue of your 'passport being taken' for 45 minutes (happens to immigrants all the time...), I dunno. I don't necessarily care either. My issue is not really with his story, but with his 'I want asylum somewhere'. He must have his reasons, and that is his story. Regardless of what story.

Point is, as long as you don't have to fear for your life, you don't have your right to free speech taken away, and you can still travel... Asylum is not going to happen. But he could just apply for a work visa, or a PR visa in the country of his choosing.

   

As I asked you several pages ago (which you ignored) what charter rights have you "been stripped" of? clearly not freedom speech and opinion, so what?

And the media loves scandal. (Look at Rob Ford, the Quebec mayor scandals, The Senate Scandal, The related PMO scandal, the RCMP scandals, we both know many others...) The media would follow up and if there was something the'd run with it.

   

"Nothing special". I am sure all of the Canadian and allied soldiers risking their asses in hostile territory don't take their roles lightly. It isn't something the average person can do, you certainly won't see many civilian police officers or undercover agents throwing their hands up for such a role. Also, when I applied I was told to put down two careers which I wanted to pursue, a first and second choice and they would try to accommodate based on need. It was based on their judgement (you are correct, after the aptitude, physical and mathematical tests) that I interview for an intelligence position.

I have a great respect for the risks some people are taking in order to protect our freedoms and way of life. Something I don't forget when I am working to hold these domestic agencies to the task of abiding by the freedoms others have and are sacrificing for.

   

Maybe. Maybe not.

Attracting the attention of a cop doesn't always require an instigating act on the part of the recipient/suspect. Sometimes they just don't like the way you look, is all. And that mystickal, magickal badge of theirs lets them do most anything they want and they know it.

Granted, most cops are great people who put it on the line every day. But I still fault those people for almost uniformly being silent about the abuses of the minority.

FUNDAMENTAL FREEDOMS.
2. Everyone has the following fundamental freedoms:
(b) freedom of thought, belief, opinion and expression, including freedom of the press and other media of communication;

LIFE, LIBERTY AND SECURITY OF PERSON.
7. Everyone has the right to life, liberty and security of the person and the right not to be deprived thereof except in accordance with the principles of fundamental justice.

12. Everyone has the right not to be subjected to any cruel and unusual treatment or punishment.


ENFORCEMENT OF GUARANTEED RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS / Exclusion of evidence bringing
administration of justice into disrepute.
24. (1) Anyone whose rights or freedoms, as guaranteed by this Charter, have been infringed or denied may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction to obtain such remedy as the court considers appropriate and just in the circumstances.
(2) Where, in proceedings under subsection (1), a court concludes that evidence was obtained in a manner that infringed or denied any rights or freedoms guaranteed by this Charter, the evidence shall be excluded if it is established that, having regard to all the circumstances, the admission of it in the proceedings would bring the administration of justice into disrepute.

You might recall, if you read my entire story that I put forward a Motion of Disclosure to the Crown. This was a legal request for access to the dossier which they had on me. They immediately worked to Strike my entire lawsuit AND demand that their motion superseed the motion that I already put forward. They in fact circumvented the law, and through the entire process they never pleaded not-guilty.

These are just the Canadian Charter obligations that they violated, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights goes further and Canada has violated many more under that agreement.

You see, as I have stated. I didn't just wake up after a bad interaction with a police officer; the vast majority in UNIFORM I admire. This has been an 8 year saga, and a 20 year persecution. I have given them ample and thorough opportunities to either come clean or right the wrong, they choose to play the power card (surprise). They have a very smug and arrogant opinion: "Human Right? What Human Rights? We do as we please" The courts reinforce this attitude unfortunately.

   

Agreed, it is the "rotten apples" that give all the other LEO's a bad name.

   

You're here, you're talking. You're thinking. You're expressing yourself.
If you want to go to the press, go. If they don't want to run your story, that is not a right being taking away, that is their business decision.
You're not incarcerated, right? You can travel, you don't have a gun pointed at you, you can eat, get groceries, go to work, have sex with whomever you want. So that one doesn't fly either.
Define 'cruel and unusual'.
That is in court, right?

Courts take long, unfortunately. I still do not see any reason why any country should grant you asylum.
I also don't see any reason why any country would not grant you a work permit, based on this info. Which means you could just leave the country and settle somewhere else, were you granted a visa (which btw is not a right), without never being able to come back...

I don't think living the life of a refugee is that much fun either... Lots of rules and regulations.

   

I wouldn't go online to an internet forum and cry about it and I wouldn't put too much stock into it. Like I just stated sometimes these things happen simply because you share a name with someone who is on a list. You are so overreacting and frankly blowing this way out of scope that it makes me worry about your ability to just handle everyday life.

   

You're to be admired for your patience. I doubt that I'd be so patient in your position.

   

I can assure you it wasn't by choice. Once I realized what was happening eight years ago I did all I could to find a resolution.
