Dear
Honourable Madame Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Canada, Ms. Jody
Wilson and Mrs. Rabould:
Please allow this quasi-retired 76 year old
Canadian Citizen and SRL, living on Hornby Island, to welcome you to your awesome
new job.
I quote our jubilant new Prime Minister: “…We have promised Canadians a government that will
bring real change – in both what we do and how we do it”… “assess the
effectiveness of our work; and align our resources with priorities, in order to
get the results we want and Canadians deserve.”
There is much more there in these lofty
promises. All appear eerily unrealistic, yet rosily optimistic. I say this since I have learned to become a realist these last six
excruciating years, while battling several of our Provincial legal systems.
Surely, you, as a former prosecutor and
native of BC, have experienced the abominable discrimination which is still running
rampant throughout most our political systems. Quite frankly Madame Minister of
‘Justice,’ we, the insiders, know that
our courts are – with the odd exception (I am told) – generally not about ‘JUSTICE.’
Having studied the Rules of Civil
Procedure, I have found there is very little ‘Civil’ about them, when
un-attainable and -accountable Judges, can pick and choose as they see fit.
Surely in an established ‘democracy,’ some-body can, and must, be held ‘accountable?!’
With lawyer fees out of reach for the
average citizen, you are likely aware of the enormous increase in SRLs these
past years. We are at long last gaining some attention. Through my Blog: about-justice.blogspot.ca I have become
acquainted with the NSRLP folk, headed by Dr. Julie Macfarlane out of Windsor U.
And as well with several other individuals doggedly dedicating their valuable
time to help make a difference. All have intentions to rid the system of its
hypocrisy in order to improve what surely is the very building block of a solid
democratic society.
The NSRL(Project) recently published a National
study on SRL results when dealt with in Summary Trials. Suffice to say we were some
99% pulverized.
This then brings me to my upcoming Summary
Trial in Victoria on February 12th, 2016.
I appreciate you can not directly comment
on my litigation in which I am holding BC’s Minister of Justice/Attorney
General’s Office responsible for their Judge’s errings by dismissing my 2010 case
for ‘lack of Jurisdiction’ and allowing me to appeal her verdict.
Although I feel to have ample evidence, I
have been advised my ‘cause of action’ requires MORE! Exhibit facts, transcripts
and precedent case history are not enough I am told. I will need MORE! “Just because you did not like a judge’s
verdict doesn’t mean you are entitled to recompense. (Asst. Deputy Attorney
General). Enough is not enough!
What then can become the Achilles heel? This is the crux of the matter. All lies
in the loop variables of the rules. A ‘Notwithstanding,’ an ‘under the
circumstances,’ a Jurisdictional excuse, a default rule in one province being
the ‘or’ Rule in the other, a timely retirement when a case comes to court, our
Officers at the ‘Justice’ Department know all the angles.
Dear Ms. Jody, Mrs. Raybould, and now ‘The Honourable
Madam Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Canada’, for the sake of
honesty and sheer sanity, PLEASE, let us bring these wayward ships around, we
have VERY little time left.
We know that it will hurt our status quo, but
it is ultimately the right thing to do. No wonder the East is after us in
droves. They are full well aware of our hypocritical ways!
Those of us already in the thick of it,
will help you get there, if you allow it.
Like Obama’s struggle with his US gun
lobby, it won’t be easy, but I feel, working together with your office and
determination, real democracy should be achievable.
Respectfully,
E-Jan Steen
