Calgary Hells Angel busted in Ontario



The Listowel Freepress is reporting that Owen Czech of Calgary, Alberta was pulled over in Ontario on April 11 and was caught with cocaine, methadone and a weapon. I assume more details of the bust will be forthcoming. Owen is a member of the Calgary Southland chapter of the Hells Angels. I'm not sure what he was doing with methadone. That's what they prescribe people who are addicted to heroin.

Of course the big news is the police crackdown on the Edmonton Hells Angels and the Whiteboy Posse murder trial. The Whiteboy posse sell drugs for the Edmonton Hells Angels. This is exactly what's supposed to happen. When the gangs do something absurd like shoot an innocent mother or decapitate someone fro a drug debt, then that brings a huge amount of attention to them and the police respond by cracking down on their business.

That is exactly what should of happened in Surrey when Janice Shore was brutally beaten to death for a drug debt in Whalley. Only instead of clamping down on the crack dealers in Surrey, Bill Fordy clamped down on the jaywalkers. You can sell crack in Surrey but you can't jay walk. It's time for Bill Fordy to transfer. Dianne Watts' claim that she is leaving Surrey a safer place is an offensive lie. She did nothing about the drug related crime she promised to address and left us with the biggest debt in the city's history.

2013 was the most homicides in one year for Surrey ever. Many of those murders were drug related. Business's complaints of drug dealers in Newton and Whalley fell on deaf ears as did their complaints about drug related crime. That is Dianne Watts and Bill Fordy's legacy in Surrey.

Law Society Bans Gay Lawyers



How's that for a headline? Law Society Bans Gay Lawyers. Or how about Law Society Bans Jewish or Muslims Lawyers. How would we feel about that? First of all it would be illegal. Second of all it would be wrong. This is what comes to mind when I read an astounding editorial in today's Vancouver Province. The editorial sates that Law Societies are wrong for caving in to activists calling for them to refuse to allow graduates from TWU's law program to be certified. I didn't even realize such an outrageous criminal act was even going to a vote.

It's no different than banning anyone who is Gay, Jewish or Muslim from being a lawyer. It is discrimination on prohibited grounds. Clearly some are concerned about the fact that Trinity Western University is a Religious private school. Does that means these unlearned enemies of the Charter of Rights would decertify the Columbus School of Law at the Catholic University of America because that is exactly what they are trying to do. It is illegal and wrong to do so.

There are two cardinal sins of a free republic. The first is adopting a single state religion. Everyone has to be Catholic, or Church of England or Buddhist or Muslim or whatever. The second is like unto it. Banning religion altogether. A free republic does neither. A free republic means an Atheist and a Christian are both allowed to become lawyers.

This is exactly why some religious groups oppose the legalization of gay marriage. They are afraid that once they allow it, they will force all religions to perform it against their will or lose their charitable status. That would,be absurd. The United Church of Canada came up with the logical compromise. Allow gay civil marriage and allow individual religions to perform gay marriage if they chose but do not force them to do it against their will because that would violate their religious freedom. It's as simple as that.

In contrast, refusing to certify graduates from the TWU law school is no different that refusing to certify a gay lawyer. Both are wrong and illegal. Another concern they raise is the University's moral code. If this wasn't such a criminal act it would be laughable. Why does it not come as a big surprise that the Law society do not want to certify lawyers who have moral standards? Kinda like the saying, what do you call 10,000 lawyers at the bottom of the ocean? A good start.

You see judges have to be lawyers before they become judges. These extremists don't want judges with moral standards to interfere with their interpretation of the law. Murder is a moral standard. Thou shalt not kill. Theft is a moral standard. Thou shalt not steal. All our laws are based on moral standards.

Nova Scotia says it will accredit Trinity Western law graduates — but only if they drop their gay sex policy. You can't do that. It is illegal. That's like saying they will accept Christian lawyers if they renounce Christ or Muslim lawyers if they renounce Mohammed or Gay lawyers if they renounce their orientation. That is religious discrimination and is illegal in a free republic. This doesn't come to a popularity vote. What if everyone got together and said they wanted to ban Islam from Canada. It doesn't matter if the majority of Canadians voted in favor if doing so. It would be illegal according to our Charter of Rights. That's all there is to it. The fact that this discussion is even on the table is astounding. Banning lawyers from having moral standards or religious beliefs is not what our soldiers died in the trenches for. It is exactly what they fought against.

Tony Wilson, a Vancouver Lawyer who states that he is an atheist who voted in favor of accrediting TWU Law school grads pointed out that the current case law upholds the Charter of Rights. The Trinity Western University v. B.C. College of Teachers case is still the law of Canada. That 2001 case, from the Supreme Court of Canada, determined that the B.C. College of Teachers could not deny accreditation of TWU’s teaching degree. So clearly what they are doing now is in violation of the Canadian Charter of Rights as well as the subsequent case law upholding it.

Surrey Stabbing



There are a medley of stories to catch up on but I want to pause on this recent stabbing in Surrey. Don Pitcairn from the White Rock Sun is reporting that his nephew was stabbed at a house party in Newton over the weekend. As soon as anyone says Surrey house party everyone tends to roll their eyes. Yet the circumstances of the assault are very disturbing.

The kid tried to break up a fight and was stabbed in the chest. He booked it for the door and four pieces of Surrey White Trash stabbed him in the back seven times and all gave him the boots in the front yard before they stole his wallet and cell phone. That is outrageous. One can understand that someone could get accidentally stabbed while trying to break up a fight but chasing him down, stabbing him repeatedly in the back then swarming him and give him the boots before stealing his wallet and cell phone. That is low life dirt bag.

What's even more disturbing is that Don has been putting up wanted posters trying to find the suspects who assault his nephew. Not that there's anything wrong with him doing that because there most certainly isn't. What's disturbing is that he has to do that and the suspects aren't already in custody. People at the party know who they were. Even if they were uninvited guests, people have iphones to take pictures and word gets around. People there would have heard by now who it was.

In Don's article he mentions the archaic code of silence thing and the grossly misused term rat. Let me be clear. Anyone who swarms someone and stabs them in the back are the rats not the people who tell the family or the police who did it. People who know who did it and aren't saying anything are the rats. That's all there is to it.

If you know who did it, tell me. I ain't the po po. If the police have a name then the victim can id them and you don't have to testify. This is really important. We can't let this kind of thing happen without doing anything about it. It diminishes all of us. This is not the way we roll in Surrey. That is Surrey trash mentally and it's fine time to take out the trash.

Crazy construction at the Surrey Memorial Hospital



This is the epitome of stupidity. I'm driving by the Surrey Memorial Hospital today and I notice two new huge holes out front each with a new crane in them. Normally this is nothing new since Surrey is growing and they have been doing construction at that hospital for quite some time now. However, as soon as I look at it I notice that something just isn't right.

I scan the scene and say where on earth is that new parkade they just built? Then I focus in on the two holes and to my amazement the two new holes are exactly where the new multi level parking lot was they just built. That is insane. I ask around and read the sign out front only to discover they tore down the new parking lot to build another one. That is fiscally irresponsible.





The above three pictures are what it looks like now and the next three are from Google Street view which shows the huge parkade they just built that they just tore down. I remember it well because when they first built it we were all mildly synical of how it was such a typical capitalist thing to do. Build a big parking lot to charge customers instead of building more hospital space.







Tearing down a new multi level parkade they just built only to build another parking lot is fiscally irresponsible. My concern has nothing to do with leftist ideals. This is a right wing, capitalist, make money save taxes concern. What they have done is not right wing. What they did was a shoot yourself in the foot waste of tax dollars. I asked why they tore down a new parking lot only to build another one and one lady said so they can't hire any more doctors. Indeed.

It's just like spending all that money upgrading the current City Hall in the perfect location for business only to throw it away and create this grossly extravagant ivory tower in the City Centre that we don't need. Evidently Dianne Watts did build that incinerator in Surrey after all. Only it doesn't burn garbage, it just burns tax dollars. The rest of the country need to understand what kind of fiscal disaster Dianne Watts has created in Surrey before she enters federal politics and spreads that fiscally irresponsible plague across the country. Buyer Beware.

Dianne Watts' civil suit settled out of court



The Voice reported that Dianne Watts civil suit was scheduled to be in court June 17 2014 at the BC Supreme Court in Vancouver. This civil suit was in relation to a car accident she was involved in on April 23, 2010. Laila Yuile has reported on the background of the case. I am told the case has now been settled out of court but am trying to find a link confirming that. The Voice did report on February 14th 2014 that it was scheduled for June 17th. It is possible they made an error as the secret settlement hasn't been mentioned in the media yet.

There was a great deal of false information being reported about the accident in the press when the story first broke. Initially it was reported that the other party ran a red light and that the mayor was T-boned. However, that was simply untrue. Later the police admitted that the mayor's car T-boned the other vehicle but claimed the mayor had the green light. According to the mayor of course. However, the other driver who sued the mayor claims they had the green light and it was the mayor who ran the red light.

Lets' look at the scene and determine believability of the conflicting claims. Police say Watts was driving her white Cadillac SUV east on 24th Avenue when it collided with a dark-coloured sedan heading north on 128th Avenue around 11 p.m. 128th is the main road and 24th is the side road that intersects it. Locals who are familiar with the intersection claim that the mayor's story is not believable because it is a demand light.

Since 128th Street is the main road, it normally has the green light. For that light to change, you have to stop at the intersection on 24th Avenue to trigger the demand light. Since we know the other vehicle was traveling down 128th street and that the mayor was traveling along 24th Avenue, it was not physically possible for the mayor to t-bone the other vehicle if she had the green light since she would of had to have come to a complete stop to trigger the demand light first.

If Dianne Watts is found culpable in this case there is no way the taxpayers of Surrey should be held liable for her negligence. If I get in a car accident on my way home from work or a work Christmas party, my employer is not responsible for my car accident.



Update: Ironically Global and CBC are reporting that Dianne Watts has just announced she will not seek reelection as the Mayor of Surrey. Oh Happy Day. The Globe and Mail reported that the local concerns with the crime she failed to address would have made her reelection difficult. This announcement fuels speculation that she will be running for Stephen Harpers tax and spend NeoCons in Whiterock federally since the BC Liberals have dumped her. What a perfect place for her. That way she can continue the same old con about reducing taxes and spending then do the exact opposite when in power. Pork Barrel Politics strikes again.

Doing the #AGT Poodle



We've all heard about Soldier Boy and the Harlem Shake. I can assure you that the Harlem Shake has nothing to do with Harlem. When I stayed there back in the /80's there was a different dance that was popular. It was based on a song by Joeski Love called Doing the Pee Wee Herman. I always thought it was an old LL Cool J song but it turns out it was Joeski Love.

When I was in New York, all the brothers were doing it. They'd laugh and say Doing the Pee Wee Herman then start this ridiculous dance that pulled their knees in together while they moved their pointer fingers twice in the front then twice in the back. They knew it looked silly but they all thought it was hilarious. Everyone was doing it and I was wondering were on earth it came from.

Years later I finally figured it out. I saw a video clip on youtube from an old Pee Wee Herman movie where he was caught in a biker bar and accidentally knocked over a line of Harleys. They dragged him into the bar and right before they were going to beat the life out of him he made one last request. He asked they play the song Tequila on the jukebox while he danced to it on the table. He ended up breaking some glasses to the bikers approval and since he won them over they let him live. When I saw the video I said that's it! That the dance all the brothers were doing back in the /80's to the song that made a reference to Pee Wee Herman.

Well now thanks to Alex Tsakumis, we have a new song and dance. This one's called the #AGT Poodle. It starts off like the Creep from Lonely Island and Nicki Minaj by raising your hands in a claw like motion and starts to snarl like a dog, only it's much faster and much more frantic. It's kind of like a dog chasing it's tail only it's more like a small dog frantically biting at the wind all around it in every direction. If there's any musicians out there who can put it to music we'll start the new dance sensation. BTW Political Satire is not unlawful. Yet.

Alex Tsakumis has lost his Mind



We need to take a deeper look at Alex Tsakumis' bullying and the circumstances that surround it. We've already written about his recent bullying of a blog reader who posted a link to one of my blog posts on Twitter. He called her home and left a message on her voice mail threatening to sue her for doing so. However, he had already found her phone number and called her at home threatening her about an earlier post she made on Twitter before that.

Before she committed the unpardonable sin of posting a link to one of my blog posts, she retweeted a tweet from someone else who simply asked what the status of Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts' court case regarding her civil suit for her car accident back in 2010. A valid question since it will be in Vancouver Supreme court on June 17th.



All she did is retweet a tweet from someone else asking a simple and valid question. For that heinous crime Alex Tsakumis went to her personal web site, found her real name and looked up her telephone number in the phone book and called her at home raging on her for making such an offensive post. Clearly Alex is Dianne Watt's attack poodle ruining interference for her in the press.

Again linking is not defamation. I submit that applies to retweeting a tweet from someone else especially when there was no possible way there was anything unlawful about the original tweet since it simply asked a valid question. Why is Alex Tsakumis so obsessed with Dianne Watts?

This whole smear campaign of Barinder Rasode doesn't make sense. He keeps slamming her and called her a whore for exploiting the death of a hockey mom for her own political gain. That simply doesn't make sense. The whole community was outraged by the murder of a hockey mom in Newton and were upset the city has done nothing about ongoing complaints about drug dealers in the area creating a large amount of violent crime there.

Barinder Rasode steps in and says, you're right, we haven't done enough and we need to do more. At first I thought she was running interference for Team Godzilla. Trying to spin their negligence by sounding empathetic. Instead of embracing the quest Dianne Watts and her attack poodles launched a smear campaign against her. Alex's claims don't make sense and are very hypocritical.

Dianne Watts did the exact same thing when she ran against Doug McCallum. She claimed we weren't doing enough on crime and ran against him on that very platform. He is complaining about Barinder for doing the exact same thing his client did against McCallum. Not only that but Dianne Watts' crime prevention coalition campaign has been one complete fraud. That's why locals are upset. She said one thing and did another. Alex's minimizing a hockey mom's death is offensive.

What is also concerning is Alex's frantic bullying of everyone who disagrees with him. His burning bridges with Bill Tieleman was absolutely bizarre as is all these endless threats of frivolous legal action. If you look at the court registry, Alex is always suing or getting sued by someone.



There are many more cases I should expound upon but I will suffice it to say that the crazed obsession with bullying and threatening everyone one is concerning. It's time to have a talk with Doctor Phil. The guy is barely over 5 feet tall. He is definitely over compensating for something.

I don't know what Alex is so upset about. My cholesterol is a little high but I did get a haircut. How do you like me now? Please advise. Second thought don't bother. I've heard enough.

Alex Tsakumis is a Bully



Alex is a bully. Long after threatening me with a frivolous lawsuit for telling the truth he is now stalking a random blog reader who happened to post a link to one of my blog posts on Twitter. Here is the message he left on her phone after he already called her home threatening her.

Here's the deal. Linking is not defamation. That is the case law. That is the jurisprudence. If I or anyone else makes a blog post that quotes a news outlet and says the Vancouver Sun is reporting that... I can't get sued for defamation if the Vancouver Sun actually did say that even if what they said it untrue. If the Vancouver Sun printed something that is untrue, you have to sue them. You can't sue someone who linked to an article they wrote. This matter has been tried in the courts and is now a part of case law. It has already been decided by the Supreme Court of Canada so there is no sense in retying the matter again when it has already been decided. CBC has reported on the decision as well as Michael Geist. True me blogging about something is a bit different but this woman just posted a link which relates specifically to the Supreme Court Decision about linking.

I submit that the same applies to posting a link on Twitter or Facebook. Linking is not defamation. This is the post on Twitter that Alex is freaking out about:



They Tweeted the tittle of one of my blog posts and a link to it. Alex has absolutely no business threatening this woman with legal action and had absolutely no business repeatedly phoning her at home. That is harassment. He is a bully.

If I have said something that is untrue, then he has to sue me not someone who links to what I have said. End of story. Any further phone calls to this woman constitutes harassment. There is absolutely no jurisdiction to sue her. He has to sue me instead. However, there is absolutely no grounds whatsoever to sue me because I didn't say anything that is untrue. I posted a screen cap of what he really did say as evidence. When Alex said I have misrepresented what he said that is totally untrue. The screen cap is proof he is lying.

On January 6th 2014 The Surrey Now along with several other media outlets reported that Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts apologized for liking a Facebook post calling one of her counselors a Coward. The media were being nice. On January 8th I made a blog post pointing out that the post Dianne Watts clicked like to didn't say coward, it said whore. Alex Tsakumis was the one who made the original post and Dianne Watts clicked like on it.

Since then Dianne Watts came up with this ridiculous story claiming that she clicked like on it by accident. I find that very hard to believe. That now leaves us with one of two options, she's lying again and liked a post calling Barinder Rasode a whore or she is an idiot and has no idea how to use Facebook and can't figure out how to click like on a post or how to click unlike on it after she clicked like by accident. So by her own claim she is either a liar or an idiot.

Not long after making the post, Alex contacted me by E-mail and threatened legal action against me for defaming him. At the time he claimed that further down in the comments of that post things were said about him that was untrue. He was referring to his business interests owning property in the conflicted proposed tower in Semiahmoo that the local residents are fighting with a passion. He claimed he wasn't the one that owned the property it was someone else by the same name. I said that's not a very common surname. Is it a relative? He then said it was his cousin. So I clarified in the comments that is wasn't Alex the blogger it was his cousin. So yes it was a different person but yes it was a family member. End of story, confusion clarified.

Yet that wasn't enough. He kept going on and on claiming I had defamed him and he was going to sue me. I pulled a George Buchanan and said what have I written that is untrue? Tell me specifically what statement. He refused. He demanded I remove his name from my entire blog instantly or he was going to sue me on the spot. I said removing his name from my blog entirely is totally unrealistic. I have a right to tell the public what he really called Barinder especially after he boldly wrote into the paper after the fact and instead of apologizing ranted about how he stood by what he said. If he was bold enough to write into the paper and tell the public he was defiantly standing by what he had said, then I have a Charter Right to tell the public what he really did say not the watered down family version.

After he threatened me I made this second post clarifying the matter. I thought for sure we were going to court. I have been there many times before. I knew he didn't have a case. I heard nothing for several months until recently. All of a sudden he starts up his bullying again. He made up some ridiculous story about how I misrepresented what he said and how I posted a draft version of what he said. I pointed out that was a lie. There is no such thing as a draft post on Facebook. You either post it or you don't. Someone on his friend's list got a screen cap of what he originally said. The one that Dianne Watts actually clicked like to.

At least now he came clean and told me what his real concern was with my blog post. It had nothing to do with anything anyone said in the comments. He wanted what he really said censored from the Internet because it made him look bad. It was however the truth and does not constitute defamation. I have a lot more to say on this but will let this suffice for now. There will be more to come. Much more. Linking is not Defamation. Alex Tsakumis is a bully. He has no right to harass this woman for someone I said which was true. End of story. Well, not quite...

Maybe Alex just wants a starring role in Dianne Watt's new movie? Go Godzilla!

Langley Ecstasy Lab Bust



Global is reporting that the Surrey RCMP drug section searched a property in the 20600 block of 72nd Avenue in Langley yesterday. A 36-year-old Surrey resident was arrested and has since been released until the drug related charges have been approved.

It doesn't say what drugs they found or were looking for but the name of their picture says meth lab which would explain why they are wearing hazmat clothing. Crystal meth is nasty. They make it with Drano. That was Kerry Ryan Renaud's specialty.

The Peace Arch News is referring to it as a clandestine lab and that the house appeared to be the focus of a large-scale operation. They are also reporting that a storage locker in South Surrey was searched as part of the investigation. No chemicals were found in the storage locker but other items were seized in connection with the investigation into the lab.

The Surrey Now is reporting that it was ecstasy not crystal meth and that National Geographic filmed the raid. Now that the sassafras oil used to make ecstasy has become so hard to get, E is made from a different much more dangerous chemical now called BZP which results in a different product and many more fatalities.

Update: According to ScanBC #Vancouver Fire Hazmat Team was on scene investigating several garbage bags full of unknown chemicals at 2100 West 46th Ave and #Vancouver Fire Hazmat Team was responding to 3900 Knight Street after someone dumped meth lab supplies in an alley. Go Hazmat. Cleaning up toxic waste in a city near you. They ain't afraid of no chemicals.

Edmonton Hells Angels targeted by Police



The Edmonton Sun is reporting that the Alberta Law Enforcement Response Team (ALERT) searched seven Edmonton homes this morning, including the Hells Angels Westridge chapter clubhouse near 159 Street and 81 Avenue. Houses in Acheson, Strathcona County, and Leduc were also combed. As a result of the raids Global is reporting that a number of people associated with the Hells Angels were arrested and are facing organized crime charges. Three cheers!

The Edmonton Sun reports that Blake Christie, a full patch member of the Hells Angels, and his 29-year-old associate Kelly Kratky were the focus of the investigation that began in the early part of October. In February, 10 people, including a full patch member of the Hells Angels, were arrested and charged with nearly 40 offenses after police searched four homes — one in St. Albert and four in Edmonton — finding a medley of weapons and drugs.



A couple stories that article linked to that I miss include one from 2012 about two members of the Hells Angels’ Edmonton chapter were handed prison terms for their role in providing protection for a Fort McMurray drug gang.

The other was one from Red Deer 2010 where police were called to the Urban Rodeo in the 4700 Block of Gaetz Avenue on Jan. 24 where it was reported that a group of women were involved in an altercation with several members of the Hells Angels. One man, a 58-year-old from Spruce Grove, faces two charges of assault. His alleged victims are two women, aged 20 and 21. Police say the man is a member of the outlaw motorcycle gang.

Update: Global is now reporting that six members of the Hells Angels are facing organized crime charges: Dominic DiPalma, 33, from Strathcona County, Darcy Lee, 38, from Edmonton, Troy Pawluk, 43, from Edmonton, Eduardo Bartolozzi, 34, from Edmonton, Roy Radies, 50, from Acheson and Dustin Lowry, 35, from Edmonton.

Police seized 19 Hells Angels vests, 26 lbs of marijuana and two handguns. Not a significant haul given the volume of cocaine they have been dealing in Nanaimo and across the country but recognize that they are pretty smart in Edmonton and have the puppet clubs like the Whiteboy Posse do their dirty work for them. Since they are in charge of puppet clubs like the White boy Posse, that makes criminal organization charges totally within order.

The CFSEU-BC retweeted a photo from ALERT on Twitter. The cover of the Edmonton Sun:



A CTV Edmonton video is reporting that the police are starting to show off their trophies from the searches. In the video it shows a guy wearing an 81 support shirt towing a trailer on site the police didn't have a search warrant for. Surely they have grounds for one now. One blog reader identified him to be Shawn Anderson, a striker for the Dirty Few MC.
