1. CONTINUATION OF MY TRIAL
I expect the hearing in the Appeal Court to be fairly short (Regina, 10:00am tomorrow). My lawyer will present argument. He is concise. I don’t know how long the Court will take to write its decision.
The last update on the Trial was: 2012-02-01 Judgment. Court of Queen’s Bench, Sandra Finley v The Queen. Appeal dismissed.
Larger background information: Lockheed Martin, War Economy (also info on Census, Trial)

2. PRIVACY COMMISSIONER
You may recall that I filed a complaint with the Privacy Commissioner (the blog and emails give me an idea of what is going on).
Recently a gentleman from Kitchener phoned with another disturbing report of unwarranted bullying by StatsCan, over “surveys” that are voluntary under the Statistics Act.
Initially Zladimir was inclined to answer the questions but they became too invasive and he declined to answer more. StatsCan then phoned him two and sometimes three times a week. At one point a supervisor came to his home, he was threatened.
In the end he advised StatsCan that he got out of his homeland, a communist country. He has been 15 years in Canada. He will be leaving Canada before he submits to the police-state tactics of StatsCan.
I phoned the Privacy Investigator assigned to my complaint and told of this most recent case.
Others continue to post their experience to the blog. And to express appreciation for the information on the blog.
From the evidence, StatsCan is in a constant state of collecting more information on citizens. By re-naming the “census (long form)” to become a “survey” (National Household Survey) they are no longer confined to “once every 5 years” data collection on citizens.
Follow-up, complaint submitted to Privacy Commissioner

3. LOCKHEED MARTIN AT THE UNIVERSITY
This is a continuing serious matter. University Senate met on October 20th. We went through the hoops we now expect, trying to get a motion regarding Lockheed Martin onto the agenda and failed. The minutes of the last Senate meeting recorded that Lockheed Martin’s business is “renewables”. . . . I will write this up later. Right now I have to catch the bus for Regina, for tomorrow’s hearing in the Court of Appeal.
