Any Info on the BSE lawsuit?

[ASRG]

Thank you for the update Mr. Pallet.
Burnt: I am in touch weekly with Liz Marshall of the Ontario Landowners and have talked several times to Tom Black the president of OLA. We are trying to form a very loose "umbrella" organization across Canada to share information and present a more uniform voice on landowner issues.
I am in touch often with Jim Ness of CAEPLA. A really good group doing a lot of valuable work.

Should it ever become my desire to pick a fight with someone, Liz Marshall would be at the bottom of my list of prospects and then on the very last page. She is one of the best minds I have encountered in all my years and has more than enough tenacity to match!

I watched her make pee run down a grown man's pant leg at a public meeting after he displayed the temerity to keep on contradicting her on a point that was very clearly correct in the view of the majority in the room.

And afterward over a coffee at Timmies, she said she hadn't even really "launched" on him yet!

CPallet---Looking back and speaking as a westerner it was a good thing that the Class Action Lawsuit launched by CAPLA on Enbridge and TransCanada was a loss to the pipeline landowners. The following appeal was lost also.

Gues what the Pipeline Landowner associations in south western Ontario launched a campaign and sent Dave Core out west to get MPLA organized 2006 and SAPL organized in early 2007007. That resulted in the huge benchmark negotiated settlement signed on Oct 12/2007----No confidentiality signed between parties. It was a historic moment on some key issues affecting pipeline landowners. It was the introduction of the huge $35.00/metre linear payment which is now demanded by other landowners with other pipeline companies and now are asking this of Power companies as well.

CAPLA took flight and became CAEPLA in Dec 2008. It remains "pro-development" but wants landowner and property rights considered on future easement agreements. CAEPLA magazines continue to educate many. The winter edition of 2011 really details the corruption of the National Energy Board and how the major pipeline companies support the funding to the Regulator that is supposed to regulate "fairly" on Landowner concerns.

ASRG---Jim Ness was a former cattle client of mine. We have worked together with CAEPLA on many occasions across the country. Jim Ness and I stood together representing Alberta and Saskatchewan pipeline landowners respectively at hearings at the National Energy Board office in Calgary.

Jim Ness assisted my defence and was very strategic in my stand Vs the Canadian Food Inspection Agency CFIA in 2010.
