--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The correct questions to verify or disprove Cat Driver’s account have not been asked by any of you. Some disbelieve him because you wish to. Others believe because you wish to. No one has applied the proper logical questions for discovery; which are:

1. It seems there is no complaint before a jury. What, then, constrains a public description of the complaint?

Well for one thing when I give details including names it gets pulled because Joe has rules that no names be used, I had hoped that using the names of TC officials who are on record as having said what I outlined would convince some here that I am telling the truth.

2. Why doesn’t Cat Driver have a lawyer on this? Any reasonable person with a large amount of money at stake and attempting to fight the federal government would have an attorney. No one with a serious complaint and a hope of winning would attempt it without legal counsel.

I had a lawyer to represent me when I was trying to get approval of my FTU, however after several years I had no money left and had no way of earning any in aviation in Canada.

3. What senior government official would offer compensation except in writing? Government officials are bureaucrats. The bureaucracy puts everything in writing. No exceptions. To prove their statements and to cover their behinds in the event of trouble.

In my previous answers I named the Government official who did tell both my wife and me that if I agreed to an internal investigation carried out by a independant party and my allegations against the named individuals in TCCA Pacific Region proved to be true he had the power to recommend to treasury board that my losses be paid back. Said Government official had come to my home and said this in front of witnesses, furthermore it is on record in my documentation.

4. If a senior government official advised Cat Driver to take the complaint to the RCMP, did Cat Driver do so? If he did, what was the result? If no result, does that not say something about the strength of the complaint? If some result, why does Cat Driver not say the RCMP investigation is on-going?

The matter that the Regional Director General TC advised me was in his opinion a criminal matter was not directly part of my complaint, however the TC inspector whom this concerned was my PMI and two days after the Regional Director General left my home that TC inspector resigned from TCCA, consequently he could not be called in the investigation that I had agreed to as he no longer was an employee of TCCA, convienient?

5. What senior government official would advise a citizen to sue “treasury board”? Treasury Board is a department of the government. The government represents the Crown. The Crown cannot be sued.

I not only can prove that this very high level government official advised me to sue treasury board I have it in writing from him after he reneged on his promise to my wife and mme that he would recommend compensation should my allegations prove true.....Which they did...on every issue in my complaint against TCCA..

6. If Cat Driver is unwilling to give details here, why did he give details in front of a reporter for 8 hours?

I would love to give details here, however it is not really possible.

7. What record is there of the reporter’s news article/broadcast on the issue? Media outlet name, publication/broadcast date, reporter’s name?

8. If the reporter spent 8 hours and came away with no published/broadcast story, does that not say something about the strength of Cat Driver’s complaint?

To answer 6 7 and 8...

The individual is not a reporter he is a journalist who was at the last meeting I had with the Regional Director General TC to rebut 42 issues in the report that was written to investigate my complaints....after that meeting al 42 issues were proven to be true....this journalist would be more than pleased to appear before the proper venue to confirm my side of this issue we have a very large pile of documentaion to prove our allegations..

...the RDG was aware that my witness was a journalist before the eight hour long meeting took place and had agreed that I could use him as a witness.

9. What senior government official would spend 8 hours discussing a personal situation in front of a news reporter? This is not government SOP and would not have occurred without the knowledge of the Minister in Ottawa and written consent of the individual citizen.

This is very important::

The senior official who chaired the meeting was acting as the highest official in Transport Canada in that meeting...when questioned by both me and the journalist he confirmed that he had been given the ultimate level of power from Ottawa to handle my issues...this is on the record and can be proven beyond a doubt...

Can't some of you understand that what transpired between me and TCCA in my region had to be top level in Transport Canadas worry department?

Has anyone in aviation ever heard of someone at the level of Regional Director General Transport Canada meeting in the home of a complaintant against several TC officials?

The RDG had contacted me to as he said " bring closure to these issues " I refused to meet in his office so he came to my home...now you tell me if my issues with several top level TC officials are insignificant? We all know that Director Generals leave their offices to meet with us at home when we have issues with their officials...

You people have not asked the logical questions. Had you done so, the veracity of this complaint would be clear to you:
1. If nothing is before the Courts, there is no constraint on talking publicly. There is no jury in place that might be swayed by public comment. So, there are no legal reasons not to describe here.
2. Anyone serious would have legal counsel.
3. No government official would offer compensation except in writing.
4. Already stated. No government department would advise criminal prosecution against one of its current or recent staff. That would invite criminal prosecution against the department. It simply does not occur. Period.
5. Self-explanatory. No senior civil servant would advise a citizen to sue the Crown.
6. Tell a reporter for publication/broadcast, but unwilling to give those details here? Suspect.
7. Self-explanatory.
8. Self-explanatory
9. Will Cat Driver post here a copy of the federal Freedom of Information release that both he and the government official would have signed before allowing themselves to speak about matters regarding an individual citizen in the presence of a member of the news media, as would have been required by law?

These are the right questions. Ask them. This legal eagle’s opinion is formed.

Thank you for bringing this to a " LEGAL " discussion legaleagle604...

..I pray you continue to ask questions as I am more than willing to answer in as much detail as this forum allows....I do not have the resourses to hire legal council anymore but I hope I am bright enough to answer any of your questions in a manner that you can deal with and help us understand how the real world works..

Back to you....

Cat, Don`t let this limp prick force you to answer to him or to drag you into a 1 on 1. You owe nobody an explanation and have a lot of support with regard to the whole TC issue including mine.

Just enjoy the flying for the moment without the stress from the likes of leagleagle604 / Torontoguy, CID and one or two mindless twats lurking in the shadows.

Give them all hell when you get back. Speak to you later.

[CID]

Mother Goose,

I think your post constitutes a personal attack. Doc, can you deal with this?

[Doc]

Ah, no. To qualify as an attack, he would have had to name the "one or two other mindless twats"......I'm sorry...I just couldn't help myself!!

[CID]

Quel suprise.

[A.W.]

For crying out loud Chucky, are you still trying to get into my pants by acting tough???

[Bede]

I don't think legaleagle knows much about the legal end of things.

Quote "The Crown cannot be sued".
Legaleagle: Please refer to the Crown Liability and Proceedings Act. That may provide you some more information on suing the crown.

Lets just let this bitterness die people.

I am confused after reading this. The person was not a news reporter but was a journalist? What's the difference? If this journalist did not write a story but you have written evidence that a senior government official reneged on a written agreement, why haven't you gone to a real reporter? You are in B.C., right? Vancouver Sun, Vancouver Province, Victoria Times-Colonist, and BCTV. How about someone like Bill Goode on radio? He would love this stuff. The Globe and Mail has a Vancouver bureau. Global TV's national newscast is based in Vancouver.


What's the problem?

[Cat Driver]

" What's the problem? "

There are many problems, one of which is when wrongdoing escalates up the ladder and is finally condoned at the level of Director General Civil Aviation it becomes very difficult to do anything period.

You are obviously new to this issue, however I do hope that I shall be able to give Mr. Huggett enough evidence of proven documented and serious abuse of power and incompetence within the Pacific Region top management including the present Regional director Civil Aviation that he will prevail in his actions against TCCA.

Furthermore before you even consider answering me with any unfounded or untrue comments be advised that I am no longer willing to accept such treatment.

So you had better be correct before you accuse me of wrongdoing or allude to such.

I do not attack you. My question was: "What's the problem with getting this into the news pages or via your MP in front of Parliament"?

5. What senior government official would advise a citizen to sue “treasury board”? Treasury Board is a department of the government. The government represents the Crown. The Crown cannot be sued.


5. Self-explanatory. No senior civil servant would advise a citizen to sue the Crown.


As a matter of fact, I am a civil servant (Military) and I have personally advised people to sue the crown. And, yes, it can be done! The specific instance where I have advised people to sue the crown was in a case where they suffered a loss or injury in an aircraft crash.

Every dollar that a government department spends is accounted for in a budget. We don't have a budget for doling out money to people we think deserve it. I don't doubt that the TC official told Cat Driver that he had the power to do so but, outside the cabinet, nobody has this power. If you want to get money from the crown, you have to make a complaint, which is addressed through due process, or launch a suit for damages, which is addressed through legal means. It gives all our lawyers something to do! The long and the short of it is that even the Prime Minister has to hide his bribes in "Sponsorship" contracts; we don't get to give it away as if it was ours!
