*FreeDominion in Ottawa Court - July 21st - Baglow Dismissal Motion *X [FreeDominion is a website devoted to social conservatism and the views held by the old Reform Party. They have been repeatedly targetted by serial complaint-filer Richard Warman for their spirited attacks on his campaign against free speech. They are currently battling three defamation suits filed by Warman in addition to one filed by Joh Baglow of Ottawa.] The FreeDominion free speech battlers announce: "FreeDominioner’s Mark Fournier, Peter O'Donnell and Connie Fournier will be in the Ontario Superior Court on Elgin Street in Ottawa on July 21, 2011. John Baglow, aka Dr. Dawg, has decided to sue [FreeDominion] for defamation, and [FreeDominion] has made a motion to dismiss his claim as frivolous and vexatious. This is the fourth lawsuit that has been launched against us. The others have dragged on for years, but this is your chance to be in the courtroom as both sides lay it all on the table in this case. If we get our way, the judge will look at the evidence and decide this once and for all This court date will hear the application to dismiss. The fabulous lawyer Barbara Kulaszka will be representing FreeDominion and the hearing sounds like it will be a great battle for freedom of speech against what some have called a “frivolous” SLAPP lawsuit. It would be well worth going by the court just to hear Barbara’s arguments. Her submissions are always thought provoking, direct on point, and very interesting. If you’re in Ottawa, pass by the court house and show your support for freedom of speech. July 21, 2011, Ontario Superior Court, 161 Elgin St., Ottawa, ON." |
CRIME WATCH -- Sau San Wu, Grow Op Queen |

*CRIME WATCH* *Sau San Wu, Grow Op Queen* "In happier times, *Sau San (Jennifer) Wu* loved getting her picture in the newspaper, posing with a cellphone at her ear and a coy smile on her face in ads for her former Richmond Hill real estate business. Now, Wu is heading to prison after getting her photo in a newspaper one time too many. *York Regional Police* detective *Dave Noseworthy* spotted her face in the background of a photo in an online Romanian newspaper earlier this year, five years after Wu fled the country -- and charges of helping run the largest indoor residential marijuana grow operation in Canadian history. ... Wu, 46, faced those charges in a Newmarket court Thursday, where she was sentenced to 6 ½ years in prison. ... She plead guilty to an assortment of charges for marijuana cultivation, tax evasion, utilities fraud, money laundering and violating court-ordered bail conditions. She was also given a year to pay $97,647.79 in back income taxes. ... Court heard she used her skills as a real estate professional to rent out 54 houses across the *GTA*to 'farmers,' who cultivated crops between September 2000 and December 2002. Court heard the 27,000 marijuana plants seized in the 54 houses were worth between $2.8 million and $15.3 million wholesale. Wu operated 17 personal and four corporate bank accounts and had nine credit card accounts to launder money and maintain the ruse that the houses were legally rented. ... Her partner in the scheme and co-accused, Phu Nhi (John) Trac, was sentenced to five years in prison on December 22, 2009. He was also ordered to pay a fine of more than $1 million. Noseworthy told the *Toronto Star* he located Wu after googling the name *'Eli Comsa*,' Wu’s husband and a former auto mechanic in Vaughan. A Romanian newspaper article about a Bucharest daycare that offered language instruction in four languages appeared on his computer screen. In the foreground of the photo was Comsa. In the background was a woman identified as daycare operator *'Ivy Lim*.' Noseworthy said he immediately recognized that *'Ivy Lim'* was really Wu, one of the architects of the massive marijuana scheme and a fugitive for the past five years. [Lawyer *Gary] Clewley* told the court that many of Wu’s legal woes came because she has had bad luck choosing men. ... The father of her teenaged son abandoned her and didn’t pay any child support, Clewley said, while Trac, who was a 'top producer' with *Living Realty*, pulled her into the marijuana enterprise and then tried to paint her as its mastermind. 'It was his idea,' Clewley said. 'She had a young son and she wasn’t making much of a living . . . The father (of her first child) wasn’t contributing, and she ended up in a relationship with Trac.' Things appear far better with Comsa, a car mechanic who worked on her *Mercedes* and *Chrysler Sebring* in Vaughan before they became romantically involved shortly before her flight to Romania." (*Toronto Star*, May 12, 2011) Bad luck choosing men? Oh give the lady a little credit! She appears to have been equally adept using her paramours: The Vietnamese delivered unheard of wealth while the Romanian provided landed resident status in an obscure hidey-hole just when she needed it. Note their romantic relationship blossomed just before she needed to hole up somewhere. If she was reckless, or greedy, enough to promote her daycare centre posing for *Internet*photos, it wasn't because husband du jour was holding a gun to her coiffured head. And by the way, if owning a Mercedes and Sebring qualifies as 'not making much of a living,' where do we sign up?

Box 332, Rexdale, ON., M9W 5L3 PH: 905-274-3868 ( tel:905-274-3868 ) Tim Hortons Investor Relations 874 Sinclair Road Oakville, Ontario L6K 2Y1 Phone: 905.339.6186 ( tel:905.339.6186 ) Email:[email protected] June 30, 2011 Dear Sirs: I have been a shareholder in Tim Horton’s for more than 10 years and enjoy the company’s products on a regular basis. I am writing out of concern with the current television ad for Tim Horton’s that is being widely shown. The ad features two couples driving off for a motor vacation. One will follow the other. They’re a bit concerned they may get separated or lost. So, they agree to rendezvous at the next Tim Horton’s. The concept is cute and appealing and emphasizes that Tim Horton’s outlets are almost everywhere. Now, here’s my problem. The couples are supposed to be “everyman” Canadians. The first couple is a brunette man with a brunette woman. The second couple is a blonde woman with a Negro male. While there are interracial couples in Canada, statistically such relationships are infrequent. Many ethnic and religious groups strongly disapprove of relationships outside the group. The inclusion of the mixed race couple is gratuitous and, to many people, offensive. It also has absolutely nothing to do with the name recognition or good feeling the ad should be trying to create for the Tim Horton’s brand. A CBC News report (January 15, 2007) noted: “According to Statistics Canada, interracial couples made up 3%, or 452,000, of Canada's married or common-law couples in 2001 -- that's up 35% since 1991. But while the majority of respondents had no problem dealing with a taxi driver, doctor, supervisor or neighbour of another ethnicity, their response was markedly different when asked how they would feel if their child were to intermarry. Sixteen percent say it would depend on the race, and 9 % said they would react negatively.” The inclusion of the mixed race couple is preachy and verges on relationship advocacy, which is certainly not Tim Horton’s role. Hoping that you will withdraw or re-cast this ad, I remain, Your loyal customer and interested shareholder, Paul Fromm _____________________________ Unsubscribe / Change Profile: http://ymlp95.net/u.php?id=gmjhqsqgsgbbqghh Powered by YourMailingListProvider |
