ADR Process- Alternative Dispute Resolution Process (So You Think)

What Was Said ,     What Was Done ,    Do You See A Difference?

]

Have you ever seen a hamburger commercial? You know, it looks so big and juicy.  All the veggies are fresh and green. The bun is so fresh, you would think it just came out of a street bakery in France.

You go to the take-out window, order one of these culinary delights, and what do you get?? Two all made of something patties, and unrecognizable sauce . Vegetables with no taste and a seed covered squished bun that's freshest part is, the Jurassic aged seeds on top.

I get this same feeling when I go to a Government web sight  The ability to put their capabilities into a written form defies even Stephen King, I bet. If you just call the number, you will almost feel the earth move beneath your feet. That is how quickly and with such determination, these people work.

Like my hamburger story, real life government drive-up window is just the same but different. What they do is tell you what they could do if you did it for yourself. The departments role is to convince you that this is the most efficient way to get things done. Here is my most recent example.

Linda; I just wish to summarize or re-cap where I believe we are:

ADR Process - What you need to know about the mediation process

With the assistance of the mediator, the parties:

• develop Guidelines for their conversation that will help them have a respectful and productive discussion;

ME: I have indicated that email for recall and clarity would be best for me. You have not indicated what the military wants.

• identify the issues to be addressed and exchange all relevant information;

ME: I have identified all of my issues to Major Christensen and ADR Kingston. I have even provided paperwork to ADR Kingston and they contacted the Base Commander Trenton. I have not heard what issues DND is prepared to discuss nor have I received their file on the last ADR process. You have given me no information about DND at all. Do I concider this your offices way of handling disputes as one sided? Where is the military position and documentation? I look forward to their response in kind to mine.

• explore their interests, hopes and concerns;

ME: I have expressed, in detail, my interests, hopes and concerns to Major Christensen and the Privacy and Ethics Commissions. I have heard nothing relayed through your office to me from these parties.

• describe and record the solution they chose in an agreement that is satisfactory to all.come up with a variety of options, assess them and select those options that are acceptable to all and best resolve the issues at hand;

ME: Maybe you are right. I am a veteran with permanent disabilities, trying to solve a complex problem on my own. It sounds like, neither DND or you are interested in helping.

I am proceeding ahead to Federal Court as I indicated to Helen earlier. I will go with the knowledge that, at least I tried to get a resolution at the lowest levels possible. I have indicated to you, Major Christensen and MGen Hood of my position and resolution.

I do not work for DND and do not have a @forces.gc.ca in my email. I believe that no effort from your office, is a sign to me and other disabled veterans, of the assistance expected.

DO YOU SEE A DIFFERENCE??

ADR - Before The War Starts Again Monday

It is funny, when you walk into National Defense Headquarters, you see a line down the centre of each hallway. I just had to ask and the response floored me ...Pardon the pun!

The answer was; "the line is there so the people arriving late don't bump into the people leaving early". Fitting but not quite true.......I mean, there is no real line on the floor.

I had quite a week with the ADR (Alternative Dispute Resolution) People. If it wasn't so maddening, it would have been, hilarious  I called the ADR people and said, why don't we talk this out so it does not escalate. The first gentleman  I spoke to, was very enthusiastic. He indicated that things would get going and  I would be contacted within the next, 24 hours. Great  I thought.; 27 hours later, I had to call the office and this same gentleman said that he had passed it off to a co-worker and he was so excited to tell me about his impending trip to.....wait for it...... Camp Borden wherever that is. I didn't know the military was camping these days in Borden but,  I guess they are.

The next person who I spoke to, the co-worker, had no idea about my situation but would get right on it. As a great surprise to me, nothing happened. My wife decided to call a more senior person and left a message. Another day goes by. The following day, a senior person from the department called me explaining his health problems and that was why he never called. The person I did speak to who said was going to get right on it, took the day off and did nothing.

I was so impressed with the service I was receiving, that  I told that office, "to not bother anymore". ( not as if they did anyway). I called the Ottawa office. I explained my situation and they would get back to me. When my assigned mediator finally contacted me, my name had somehow changed to Peter.

I wrote back and said that Peter does not live here but if you have a message for Michael,  I am here. I received an email back explaining the complexities of multitasking and she was sorry that she didn't get  my name right. She also indicated that she was off for the weekend and would call; late Monday.

Remember the line on the floor at NDHQ? 

It comes to mind, does it not?

WHY CANADIAN VETS ARE TAKING BRITISH MONARCHY TO COURT?‏

I am a Canadian Officer (Retired). I suffer from PTSD, Generalized Anxiety and Major Depression in part, I believe, caused by Senior Officers within the Canadian Military.

As a Canadian Officer I swore allegiance to the Queen of England. Having had to take the Senior Staff through the Alternate Dispute Resolution Process, I ended up with an agreement signed by a Canadian General on behalf of the Queen of England.

When I tried to invoke a clause within the agreement, I was told the legal document and files were destroyed. I only found this out when I applied for Veteran's Benefits and was denied because there was no documentation.

Now myself, a former Canadian Officer with an agreement signed by a Canadian General, on behalf of the Queen of England, has made an application to Canadian Federal Court to have the Queen of England testify to why the legal document and files were destroyed and why I was initially denied Veteran's benefits.

The Queen's Representative in Canada, our Canadian, "Commander in Chief", will not even respond to repeated requests for support. Shame

I am Canadian and not British. If our military, swears allegiance to the Queen, a head of another country, and signs documents  on her behalf, they are accountable to her, not any Canadian. We don't even have a Canadian, "Commander in Chief!" 

MY QUESTIONS ARE:

1. As British citizens, what is your opinion as to, why your Queen is required to sign legal documents to resolve our Canadian Military problems? 

2.  Why can't Canada sign and take full and complete responsibility for it's own Military? 

PLEASE LET ME KNOW YOUR THOUGHTS!!!!

Royal Document Destruction Question‏

Actions

Michael Cole (thebobs1@sympatico.ca)

9:03 AM

To: registry-greffe@scc-csc.ca

Good Morning; My name is Michael Cole. The Privacy Commissioner has made a ruling I do not agree with. I am confused as to the procedure to follow since there is no precedence set.

When serving in the Canadian Military, I was an Officer. To be an Officer in the Canadian Military, you must Swear Allegiance to the Queen of England. I did.

During my service I had a legal matter arise that required arbitration. Upon completion, a "Terms of Settlement," was signed by myself and another, on Behalf of the Queen.

The government of Canada destroyed this document. I only found out about it's destruction when I invoked one of the clauses within the agreed upon document. There was no time limit or expiry date indicated on the document. 

My question to you is: Who do I file against since this was an agreement between a Sworn Officer of the Queen and the Queen of England and Canada destroyed the document??

The Governor General, the Queen's Rep in Canada. The Canadian Military's Commander in Chief, has not and will not answer any of my questions or queries. All I received back was a note from his Secretary saying they will not help.

I look forward to your answer.

Regards

Mid-March 2013 Update-British or Canadian?

The second half of this post will be a re-post to give you background. In a nutshell, what is going on now is an identity crisis at the Privacy Commission. The Privacy Commission thinks, as an Officer In the Canadian Military, I work for Canada. Wrong! I work and am Commanded by the Queen of England.

I take my Orders from Her (the Queen). Following the chain of Command, the Governor General is the Commander in Chief for the Queen in Canada. The Chief of Defense Staff (CDS) is next and so on down.

The bottom line fact is Canada does not have command of it's own military. The Queen is our Military's Commander in Chief. If there is a legal problem with Officers in Canada, the final legal documents must be signed by or on Behalf of, The Queen and not the Government of Canada.

The Legal Document made and signed as a resolution between Canadian Officers ( myself and the Base Commander Trenton), had to be so ordered by the Queen. It was!. The Canadian Government destroyed it! It was not theirs to destroy. I am contesting the Privacy Commissions Decision regarding document destruction based on this fact,

Re- Post


I figured I would take a little break from my updates. Why you ask? It appears that the, "Rapid Answer Response Team (RART)", has been taking some personal time. We all know this is good for mental health reasons.

While on their working vacation (RART), I thought I would list a few simple things for them (RART) to think about as they watch the sun set of, the way things were.

We have:

1. Upset Veterans
2. Upset RCMP
3. A CDS that works for the Governor General
4. A Governor General who works for the Queen
5. A Dept of National Defense that loses documents signed on behalf of the Queen
6. We have a Prime Minister who does not work for the Queen
7. We have a Governor General in charge of our military and RCMP
8. A Governor General who works for the Queen but is appointed by the Prime Minister
9. A Prime minister who does not work for the Queen
10. A Queen in charge of our military and RCMP
11. A Governor General who works for the Queen but is appointed by the Prime Minister
12. A Governor General working for the Queen appointed by the Prime Minister in charge of our military and RCMP
13. A Prime Minister who appoints the person (Governor General) to be in charge of the military and RCMP
14. The Governor General does not really command the military or RCMP
15. The Queen does not really command our military or RCMP
16. A Prime Minister who does command our military and RCMP but does not really on paper have the title of Commander and Chief" of our military or RCMP

So who really runs this country? On paper, the Queen and her Governor's Generals do. In reality, the Prime Minister does but not on paper.

Sweet. As an Officer (Who had sworn allegiance to the Queen - I hope they didn't lose that document too."  I kept my copy anyway, just in case)  I would love to be in charge but legally not accountable. I could just let somebody from a foreign country, let's say.......... England, be responsible.

The CATCH 22 - If you sign legal documents on behalf of Queen, who is hypothetically in charge but really is not, and you lose the legal documents, who is responsible now? Secondly, who is legally bound and responsible for, and to hold the documents? The Queen? The Queen and Governor General? The Queen, Governor General and Prime Minister? The Queen, Governor General, Prime Minister, Privy Counsel, Department of Justice for Canada or United Kingdom, the Senate, CDS and The Department of National Defense? OR NONE OF THE ABOVE - IN MY CASE!

1. The Queen? The documents were signed on her behalf.
2. The Governor General (Our Military Commander and Chief - The Queen's Representative for Canada) appointed by the Prime Minister.
3 The Prime Minister? The documents were signed by the Canadian Government on Behalf of the Queen.

Who's on FIRST ? What's on SECOND ? (Base)

The Wise One Is Here To, "TAKE A LOOK."

Maybe if we got rid of the extra baggage, such as the: Senate, Governor General and Provincial Governor Generals, We could save a whole lot of taxpayer money.

We might even save enough to help our Veterans and RCMP as well as Old Age Pensioners. We might just be able to finally take proper care of our own Aboriginal (Canada's First Nations) Peoples'. We might even have somebody from Canada, ON OUR MONEY!

I am Michael and I am CANADIAN not British or American.

"TIME IS UP-NO MORE COUNTING DAYS"

AN OFFICER LEADS BY EXAMPLE

Things ethically, you can't do:

1. Adjudicate yourself.
2. Make legal agreements and not follow the agreed upon "Terms!"
3. Have no file numbers on documents so they can't be tracked or accounted for.
4. Destroy legal documents unilaterally, in contravention to their "Terms!"
5. Say that these same legal documents could be destroyed IAW PPU 875 (GOV POL) even though
DND had no file number, no tracking system, no idea of the content or "Terms" which did not allow for their destruction.
6. Our Canadian Military's, "Commander in Chief", when asked to help a Veteran, never even responded.

This two tiered system of ethics, one for Government and one for the average Canadian, must change.

Things that were done:

1. VAC has no mandate for their lawyers to assist Veterans to get documents from Government Departments that will prove their Claims.
2. The Privacy Commission has stated that it is okay to destroy documents IAW PPU 875, even though these documents had no file number, tracking system and unknown contents.
3. DND believes that ethically, this is okay.
4. The "Commander in Chief", our Queen's Representative, will not even respond to a Veteran. The "Terms of Settlement", were agreed upon by the Government of Canada on Behalf of the Queen. This total disregard for our military or the Queen's own agreement, SHALL BE ADDRESSED!

TIME TO GET LEGAL - "5328 Days Later"

• Missing Legal Agreement - Government of Canada on Behalf of the Queen‏

To security, Ethics, McKenna, Michael Cole, Priv Comm

I am writing you because this is the last department that may help before I go to the Supreme Court or sell my story to the public for profit.

On 01 April 1999, BGen Brando and myself, signed a "TERMS OF SETTLEMENT". This document had many conditions mainly to keep this story out of the media. It involved myself, Senior Officers violating Orders and then not reporting it.

I kept my copy, all evidence and tapes proving what happened. The Attached Privacy Commission report seems satisfied that this legal document , with no file number, no designated storage plan and agreed upon by two parties, finds it okay that these sensitive documents are missing with no destruction record. I am not.

There were two parties to the agreement. No expiration date. If there was, I would have sold my story to the highest bidder. The Government has lost or destroyed the document without my approval or any destruction records.

Since this is the case, the agreement never existed and I am going to proceed as such. They can't have it both ways. Either the documents have been withheld or destroyed without my consent. By not telling me of their destruction, they keep me quiet and become untouchable because of perceived document destruction rules (DND PPU 875).

I have 45 days before applying to the Supreme Court. I consider the "Terms Of Settlement", as fraudulent and never intended to be kept for my use as stipulated within the document. I am surprised the Privacy Commission accepts these double standards when 2 parties are involved. The other party to the agreement is equally important as the other signatory, the Canadian Government.

I Truly Think We Have Something Started - Let Us All Speak

For Our First Nations Peoples  I, Michael am, "Idle No More!"

DHILR - If you know my blog or have followed my Facebook page, you will know what this abbreviation stands for. If not, it stands for: DIGNITY, HONESTY, INTEGRITY, LOYALTY and RESPECT.

NQNS - Again, for those that have been followers you will know it's meaning. If not, it stands: NEVER QUIT, NEVER SURRENDER.

I will be using these acronym's to try and understand some current media events and relate them to us, the common person (not the so called elite).

I do not believe it is just me that thinks this but, it appears that there is two tiers of justice in this country. One for me, the common Canadian and one for the elite. For example; if Mike Duffy (ex-CTV) was a corporal in the military and he made this oversight, or was confused about where he actually resides, the Senior NCM would be told to march the guilty bastard in and tell him to forget about his hat. In the Commanding Officer's Office, there would be a quick question and answer period and a charge would most likely be laid for falsifying documents. That is for us. Our justice system.

In stark contrast, as a non - elected Senator, Mike Duffy can sit at his kitchen table, decide where in fact he resides and then pays back some money to the tax payer, to get ahead of the audit. I believe I heard him say the wording was ambiguous or confusing. If the question of, "where do you live?" is confusing to Mr. Duffy, then maybe the Sober Second Thought Chamber (the Senate), is not for him.

If a Corporal in the military loses important legal documents, the military police and National Investigative Unit would be all over it. If our Government Officials do the same with equally important legal documents, the common Canadian hears nothing from the military police, National Investigation Unit. Nothing from their MP, Office of the Secretary to the Governor General and nothing from the Canadian Archives or Courts. Why is there a difference? Am I nothing and Mike Duffy is everything to our Government? If I ask for help as a Veteran regarding documents signed by the Canadian Government on Behalf of the Queen, and they can't be found, what has been done as far as an investigation?

I will tell you what happens. Read my blog.

As a regular Canadian. A tax paying Canadian. A law abiding Canadian. A Canadian Veteran with Honourable Discharge. Am I so unimportant to the government that, even though I suffer tremendously everyday with Anxiety and Major Depression from my service to this country, I get no help in getting these legal documents.

I think the flaw in my situation is the term, "regular Canadian." If I was a Senator there would be action but since I am just a regular Canadian, I get nothing. No help. But!  If it was a whole group of regular Canadians, maybe even thousands and thousands of regular Canadians, the Government who receives it's pay from us, regular Canadians, (not just Senators, Governor Generals or the elite), then they would have to take us more seriously!! It has happened recently in many other countries. Maybe ours is headed that way too.

YOU CAN'T BE RESPONSIBLE AND NOT ACCOUNTABLE!

Whoever in Government, who is not both (Responsible and Accountable) should be told to leave. We as regular Canadians don't need to pay the $139,000.00 expenses for the Governor General. He get's free accommodations and I think the Provincial Governor Generals and Senators are in the trough as well, it appears. Shame on you. You are no better than anyone else. If Senator Romeo Delaire, An Ex UN Commander in Rwanda. (The guy I flew supplies into Rwanda for), can be helped. Why then, will he not help me or other Veterans and regular Canadians?

Twice in the last week or so, I have read two different views about Canada and our Government, that are BANG - ON. One was from the, "OUR DUTY", President and the other was from a gentleman by the name of, Michael Detheridge (I asked if I could use his writings in advance and he was happy to assist - Attached below).

By Michael Detheridge to Michael Cole

Michael Detheridge

Hey Michael:

Yes, please go a head and use my input. I would be honoured Sir!

In the US the President and Commander in Chief is both Head of State and Head of Government. He has all the power as the Commander in Chief.

In Canada our Head of State is a non-elected Queen represented by the Governor General and Commander in Chief. He is appointed by the Queen on the advise of the current Prime Minister. The Governor General is a figure head just like the Queen is in Britain or when she visits Canada.

Now the Prime Minister and Cabinet do advise and tell the Governor General everything but the Governor General has to act on advise in Canada because he is not elected by the people. The same is true for the Governor General when acting as Commander in Chief (technically the Queen is Commander in Chief but since she does not reside here in Canada the Governor General fills in full-time) acts on the advise of the Honourable Peter Mac Kay, Minister of Defence. He advise and consults with the Canadian Commander in Chief but in the end the Minister had the power.

The Governor General has only three real powers: the right to be consulted, to warn and be advised. In all circumstances he, the Governor General, even as Commander in Chief, has to act on advise, sign, sign bills and do what he is asked to do. Even though the Governor General is our Defacto (acting) Head of State, because he is not elected he must let the elected officials rule the country. The same thing happens in the UK, Australia, New Zealand and 12 other countries where the Queen is Head of State.

So bottom line in our country the Head of Government, the Prime Minister, has all the power. He shares it with his Ministers, like Peter Mac Kay.

See, now you can see how confusing (and stupid) our system is. The Governor General is just like our Senators, useless. However the Prime Ministers in Canada like it this way as Canadians will blame the Governor General and not the Prime Minister.

You are most welcome for the support and understanding and it is there anytime you need it! I have a great deal of respect for you. You care about others and fight the system. I just wish more people would do that. You stand up and fight for what is right in a system that is very wrong.

If you want more information on the Governor General and Commander in Chief, His Excellency The Right Honourable David Johnston, just Google Roles and Responsibilities of the Governor General of Canada and then click and read.

Most Canadians do not realize how many people the Prime Minister puts into useless positions every year across Canada. All ten Provincial Lieutenant Governor live in splendor like the Governor General but have zero powers just like the GG, Senators, senior civil servants, heads of government corporations, etc.

Take it easy my friend and enjoy the weekend!

Office of the Secretary to the Governor General - Refuses to Help

5322 days with no resolution with DND (Department of National Defense). 141 days since the Privacy Commission Investigator completed his first investigation into my missing legal documents - No answer or resolution.

The OSGG (Office of the Secretary to the Governor General) says,"we are unable to respond to your request."

I am glad the Secretary has answered but I did specifically ask the Commander and Chief of our military. The guy with all those medals. The Governor General himself. I wanted him to help me, a Veteran. If I was interested in what his Secretary thinks, I would have written her.

No worries. As I continue ahead, I can now let you know that a Registered Letter has been sent to the British Supreme Court, requesting their copy of the documents, signed on Behalf of the Queen, by the Canadian Government. The British, ( the Queen ), should have a copy. We will soon find out. They have had the information for quite some time now.

I asked the Canadian High Commission to the UK to assist me and follow-up on my request for these legal documents. I am certain they will help. The British I have met, truly have a sense of duty and honour. They do not take things like this lightly. I hope not. I'm counting on it !!

UPDATE FOR CANADIANS - WHO'S RUNNING THIS COUNTRY ANYWAY?

I figured I would take a little break from my updates. Why you ask? It appears that the, "Rapid Answer Response Team (RART)", has been taking some personal time. We all know this is good for mental health reasons.

"5313 Days Later" - A Rare Sighting After Groundhog Day

"5311 Days Later"- Silence is Golden (Tactical)

It has been quite some time since the "Lead Investigator", at the Privacy Commission, finished his report into my initial "Formal Complaint", into 5 missing documents. Since these 5 missing documents should, be within the entire file, the "Formal Complaint", into the entire missing file is delayed.  What? Yup, you heard it here first. As I understand it, DND needs more time to find the file containing the 5 missing documents which have been confirmed as, missing.

I am glad I never got bogged down with that Collage Degree thing. I think that someone has over-thought this one by........let's just say, "a country mile."

Let us do a quick recap without the benefit of an RMC (Royal Military Collage) Degree.

1. Confirmed, the main 5 documents from the file are missing

2. The report into the 5 missing documents has been completed since before, 05 October 2012. That would be, "130 plus days ago." Can't blame the investigator because he doesn't have the final say. His bosses do.

3. Since the main 5 documents are missing, it only makes sense that the entire file containing these 5 missing documents must still be around since DND needs more time to find it. This is, as I understand it,as explained by the Privacy Commission Investigator.

As a final note, I am asking for nothing monetarily from DND or my MIA (Missing in Action), Governor General (Commander and Chief, Queen's Representative for Canada). I am asking for a couple gold ribbons and a bobble (medal) to hang from my chest. It's cost is minimal. (I will even pay for the cost of making the medal).

So as we Re-Cap again: 

1. 130 days plus have passed on a decision that costs DND nothing.

2. 130 days plus to sign off on an investigation that will cost DND nothing.

3. 130 days plus that the complainant  suffering from Generalized Anxiety  and Major Depression has been made to wait (This does not include the total time since my first document request)

4. 130 days plus for DND to decide on a couple ribbons of gold and a medal. Grand sum total cost.......;...
ZERO!!!!!

If I had a Collage Degree, I too would find this maze of facts difficult to comprehend or to follow. I'm glad I do not have a Collage Degree from RMC and cannot see why they want to keep their options open

As you know: INDECISION IS THE KEY TO FLEXIBILITY
                      FLEXIBILITY IS KEY TO MILITARY SUPERIORITY
Therefore it appears that;
                      INDECISION IS KEY TO MILITARY SUPERIORITY
Now that makes sense!

DND's silence must be because of some (to myself), as yet undiscovered, TACTICAL reason. 

Maybe if they make the poor Veteran with Depression and Anxiety wait long enough, he might reduce his demands for resolution.

They are of course outlandishly expensive terms                   NOTHING, ZIP, ZERO, NADA

Glad I missed that valuable Tactical Class at, " RMC."

6. The Resolution "DHILR" - That is all. I want back, what was taken from me. D - Dignity, H - Honesty, I - Integrity, L - Loyalty and R - Respect.

The Accused was promoted multiple times, I never was again even though I was doing the job of a rank higher than my own.

I would like the military to admit what they have done. What mental anguish they have put me through. I would like a promotion to a substantive rank appropriate to what I achieved and finally, from the Queen, an honour recognizing the true dedication and loyalty I have always given her and this country.

"5305 Days Later"- I Couldn't Have Said It Better Myself

Every once in a while, you read something that someone else has written and say, wow, I couldn't have said it better myself. This was true for me today. I was flipping through my latest copy of "esprit de corps", the magazine, (Volume 20 Issue1) published by Author, Scott Taylor, and started reading this article.

"Why failing to provide for veterans should scare us"

The article was written by, Jeff Rose-Martland. He is President of "Our Duty", a citizens organization which advocates for fair treatment of Canada's veterans. His article deals with something that concerns me as well.

"Idle No More", Older poor veterans without proper burials, issues with the current and past serving RCMP members, as well as the "New Veteran's Charter (1996)", are signs. I believe that Jeff has picked-up on a very concerning theme history has taught us not to ignore.

"5302 Days On" - Sounds British

I could not let Groundhog Day go by without an update. It appears the rodents are confused about Spring which bodes well with the confusion regarding my case.

I had a great talk with CBC and they are very interested in my situation. I was happy to supply them with some tidbit's of information not currently available to those reading my Blog. It is nice to hear from concerned citizens.

I do realize that there are a whole lot of people much smarter than myself but, it would only seem right that if I signed Legal Documents on behalf of another Head of State, I might want to keep a copy for myself and give them a copy, as well as, discuss what has been agreed to. My Lawyer always keeps copies of Legal Documents.

I would ask the GG (The Canadian Military Commander and Chief also the Queen's Representative in Canada), but wait, I did! Many times and in many different formats. Kind of sounds like Groundhog Day all over again, doesn't it??? Bill Murray would be proud!

Maybe the Provincial Queen's Representatives would be more approachable and might respond, unlike the GG of Canada.

"ONLY- 5292 DAYS LATER (BELL - "LET"S TALK")

To: The President of Bell Canada

From: Captain (Ret’d) Michael Cole, CD1

Date:  23  January 2013

Subject: LET’S TALK – PLEASE

I am a law abiding, tax paying citizen. I have never protested, caused a disturbance. I haven’t even gotten a speeding ticket. This is my problem.

To the news establishments I am boring. I don’t cause trouble for others. I follow all the laws yet, I suffer everyday, in silence. Your company says, “Let’s Talk”! I would love to. I think what I have to share is invaluable to others, dealing with mental health issues.

My story of how I went from healthy to suffering with anxiety and major depression is an easy one to follow but complicated in the facts. My story is normal, but not. My story deals with work place issues but, not the ones you would normally associate with a job. Simple but deeply complex is how best to describe my journey thus far.

All inclusive Blog:  michaelcole9112010.blogspot.com

Because my medical problems are not headline grabbing, no media outlet is interested. Yes, they are compassionate and do understand my pain but, it is not news worthy enough for them. It is so sad to hear their understanding and compassion yet having to tell me no to getting my message out.

I was a VIP heavy transport pilot in the Canadian Military. I flew the Prime Minister and Prince Charles among others. My proudest moment was being the pilot who flew, “The Unknown Soldier” home from France to Canada. I worked for years saving lives doing search and rescue and many UN missions.

It is all gone now. I have lost everything; my honour, dignity and career. It is a very long and difficult road back to health. I have a name. I have a true story. Can you please help me get the information out so that others might benefit. Thank you for your time and consideration of my request.

Please give consideration to my story. It will help Veteran’s and all Canadians, understand.

"5282 Days Later" - I Too am Canadian and "Idle No More"

                                              "WE SEE YOU AND WE ARE COMING"

                                                   I CHOOSE TO STOP PAYING TAXES
                                                      FOR THE GOVERNOR GENERAL:

                                                               I AM CANADIAN

                                            I DON'T WANT TO BE UNDER BRITISH RULE

                                                         I AM, "IDLE NO MORE"

I am Canadian, not British. I don't want to be British, I want to be Canadian. I understand the fondness we all share for our heritage and history with the British but it is TIME for us, as a country, A PROUD COUNTRY, to stand on our own two feet and be counted as equals with all other nations.

Do you know; our Prime Minister has no Command over our Military? Why you ask? The reason is, that all Officers and Senior Non-Commissioned Officers, swear allegiance to the British Monarchy. The British Monarchy is our countries Military Commander and Chief, NOT the Prime Minister of Canada. The Police (RCMP) are Commanded by the British Monarchy NOT the Prime Minister. The Aboriginal Nations of Canada have their original Treaty Agreements with the British Monarchy and not the country, Canada.

So the Prime Minister of Canada has: no Military to Command, no national police force (RCMP) to Command and a large number of Treaties with our Aboriginal Nations, don't have any original agreements with Canada.

A sad, sad situation. All those politicians and no one but the British Monarchy, will stand up and take responsibility.

For the Aboriginal Peoples of this country, I as a Veteran of many war's, am proud to see you stand up and be counted. At war, I had on a Canadian Military Uniform but I was Commanded by the British Monarchy.
As a Veteran, when wounded and asked Veterans Affairs for help, I was initially denied because the Department of National Defense, lost my written Agreement between myself and the Queen (the British Monarchy).

In Canada, the British Monarchy keeps a Representative here in our Country to oversee our military and police along with the Aboriginals. Our own Prime Minister still takes direction from the British Monarchy through their Representative in Canada.

The British Monarchy's Representative in Canada is; The Governor General. He Commands our Military, RCMP and oversees Aboriginal Treaties.

When I asked him for help with my Veteran's benefits and missing documents, he would not even respond. When the "Idle No More" movement asked for a meeting with the Prime Minister and the Governor General together, they refused. Who is running this place anyway?? It is time for drastic change. I STAND WITH THE ABORIGINALS and you can count me in, as a proud Canadian!!  You can COUNT OUT......... THE BRITISH and their GOVERNOR GENERAL.

I don't need him. He has done nothing for me. He has now done nothing for the Aboriginal Nations of this proud country. I pay taxes and I will no longer pay taxes to keep him up there doing nothing for our country, when it really counts.
