Merchant on case ????????

[NISAcase]

As someone who has actually dealt with Merchant with one of the largest class actions in Canada (www.nisaclaim.net) you had better be prepared to micro manage to the most of your ability and as with us be prepared to have the paper trail to possibly add the lawyers to your claim for time wasted and other possible wrong doing to recover compound interest as has already been suggested to the Federal Court. Now for the real scoop on the residential school claims and the questions the liberal media won't ask and due to the fact the teachers are mostly deceased and the churches (unlike Nfld.) are off the hook leaving the taxpayers to pick-up the tab (sounds like the Harris case billion dollar income tax exemption on billions of trust funds. The Liberal government agreed to pay out billions of dollars on statute barred (out of time claims) other than proven sexual abuse and contracted out to the churches and unproven claims (google the Supreme Court decision in Blackwater v. Plint @ Canlii). Why are the Liberal supporting lawyers (sons want to run for the Liberals per Lewans) being paid as part of the Liberal agreement millions of dollars? Why is the Liberal supporting claimants being paid billions of dollars? How did the highest court in B.C. certify as a class based on the statute barred attendance only claims? The questions the liberal media (selling documentaries) has never asked or had answered. Ask a judge how you can certify a class of out of time claims and post the answer to this questions.!!!! See Statistics Canada to see how when the Liberals were in power from the years 1996 to 2001 the massive decline in farms,(29,625) rural population,(282,758)and farmers (124,275) compared to when the Conservatives introduced the Farm Income Protection Act in 1991 to 1996.(3,495),(5,805)and(14,490) respectively.

The Residential School Case.... Would you prefer that Merchant had done nothing? What would that presently mean to the abused?

The lawsuit drew a line in the sand, did it not?

Would the abuse have even been recognized, if that law suit had never been launched.

Merchant is not an angel, but the alternative was no lawyer at all.


The same with the CWB case.

No one would taclke battle with the CWB like Merchant does. Every law firm in Western Canada does business with the CWB and does not want to tick them off. Easy cash!


Would you advocate NO lawsuit is better than Merchant?


Surely farmers paying for licensing export grain for Robin Hood in Ontario should not be paid by Prairie farmers. You like paying? I don't. How does it end? Threatening employees? Prayer? Magic? Charm?At least Merchant's trying.

If you want to start a third thread to bash him, go for it if it makes you feel better.

But remember, the alternative is the status quo.

parsley, consider something below ground like carrot or turnip. Its time you farmers actually started attending your hearings affecting your livelihoods to see the dog and pony shows that go on or as I like to call them, Gomer Pile performances by QC lawyers (some acting award I presume). Then when they lose, (surprise, surprise) advise you to not appeal. This kind of precedence is becoming too common. The Federal court judges are willing to state the lawyers actions to the new faces. Also, the Federal Court judge has also conducted telephone hearings that the lawyers can only be present. Cannot advise the lawyer or know what is going on at the hearing if you are not there. New lawyer and appeal successful while the Honourable Judge Pelletier J. A.. glares at the Crowns Attorney the whole hearing. Now as reported the theft of the Crown’s office in Winnipeg, 7 computers and 2 blackberries. Also, never sign an affidavit prepared by a lawyer without reading and investigating every paragraph for future problems. What ever happened to the wrongful prosecution cases against the Attorney General representing the Ministers as reported on the Farmers for Justice web-site?? Altered transcripts??
