Preface Accused war criminal Stephen Harper ignores the killing of Mary Steinhauser in British Columbia, Canada? Mary Steinhauser deserves better from this guy!! They are now investigating Stephen Harper and Peter MacKay for violations of the Geneva Convention. Stephen Harper has been trying to distance himself from the ICC, snubbing his nose at the convention, but there are some things that go beyond his supreme rule. Is that why prime minister Stephen Harper is portrayed wearing a Gestapo uniform? [see picture of Stephen Harper in gestapo clothes] http://fredericks-artworks.blogspot.ca/2012_06_01_archive.html Does Stephen Harper feel he is above the law? More scandalous still is the evidence that these people were acting on directives from Stephen Harperthat Harper knew perfectly well that the Afghan puppetstate tortures the prisoners handed over to it by the Canadian Forces, but nonetheless permitted the continuation of this system, and that he actually took charge of the program of lying about it. Whatever happened to this story, Judge sought to try Stephen Harper and Peter MacKay with war crimes and crimes against humanity? With respect to Mary Steinhausers death, it has recently been revealed: The new investigation comes after a former ambulance paramedic made a statement to police last month saying he overheard a guard say, "Kill her, kill her," before the rescue attempt. In an exclusive interview with the Sunday Province, High said he is convinced that at least one guard intended to shoot Steinhauser."There's no question in my mind that Mary Steinhauser was purposefully shot," he said. High does not believe that the man who said "Kill her" was the one who fired the fatal shot. But he believes the man's words reflected the feeling the guards had toward Steinhauser.

Whatever happened to the investigation into the purposeful killing of Mary Steinhauser? Did it go the same way as the investigation into Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper? Isnt the Canadian media interested in such important stories?

Chapter 1 Accused War Criminal Stephen Harper? Well by God? Someone is saying MacKay and Harper are apparent war criminals? What what could this be all about?? As cited ver batim in PMO issued instructions on denying abuse in '07 Published on Sunday November 22, 2009 By Mitch PotterWashington Bureau http://www.thestar.com/news/canada/afghanmission/article/729157--pmo-issuedinstructions-on-denying-abuse-in-07 WASHINGTONPrime Minister Stephen Harper's office used a "6,000-mile screwdriver" to oversee the denial of reports of Afghan detainee abuse when the scandal first erupted in 2007, according to a former senior NATO public affairs official who was then based in Kabul. The former official, speaking on condition his name not be used, told the Toronto Star that Harper's office in Ottawa "scripted and fed" the precise wording NATO officials in Kabul used to repudiate allegations of abuse "at a time when it was privately and generally acknowledged in our office that the chances of good treatment at the hands of Afghan security forces were almost zero." "It was highly unusual. I was told this was the titanic issue for Prime Minister Harper and that every single statement that went out needed to be cleared by him personally," said the former official, who is not Canadian. "The lines were, 'We have no evidence' of coercive treatment being used against detainees handed over to the Afghans. There were very clear instructions for a blanket denial. The pressure to hold to that line was channelled via Canadian military and diplomatic personnel in Kabul. But it was made clear to us that this was coming from the Prime Minister's Office, which was running the public affairs aspect of Canadian engagement in Afghanistan with a 6,000-mile screwdriver." The official described the tensions over the fate of detainees as "uniquely Canadian" despite the fact that doubts over the treatment of Afghan detainees were ubiquitous among all NATO partners with military footprints in Afghanistan.

"It was not an issue for anyone else, though other nations ought to have been as concerned as the Canadians. The Americans in particular were not remotely squeamish on this. To them, everyone was an enemy combatant." Dutch soldiers deployed in Uruzgan province north of the Canadian positions in Kandahar forestalled such concerns by "operating in a fairly Dutch way by being very, very risk-averse.'' "The Dutch were extremely nervous about the level of intensity of their military engagement in a way that the Canadians were not." Australian soldiers, by contrast, operated almost exclusively under joint Special Forces command exercised by the U.S. military activity that remains shielded by a total news blackout. "We just weren't encouraged to ask about Special Forces. They operate on a need-to-know basis and there was no need for us to know," the former official said. The former official, speaking in a telephone interview Saturday, said that throughout the ISAF Headquarters in Kabul "everyone knew that if a detainee got handed to the NDS (the National Directorate of Security, Afghanistan's intelligence service), they were not going to be in any way looked after the way they should have been. "The NDS operated under almost impenetrable secrecy. The closest relationship the NDS had with any foreign forces was with the Americans. But that ran completely outside of ISAF channels because of the exclusively American parallel operation in Afghanistan." The dynamic was especially disturbing to Canadian military officers based at ISAF in Kabul, the former official said. "One delightful Canadian officer, a colonel, who worked just down the hall, spoke privately to me about his general unease about the fact that detainees were being handed over (and) the procedures were not as robust as they should be." Many NATO officials in Kabul were also aware how seriously Canadian diplomat Richard Colvin was following the issue, he said. "Richard Colvin behaved as a straight-up-and-down person, completely honest and doing his job to the best of his abilities," the former official said. "He had to be terribly careful. He couldn't speak to us about this. But it was clear that the tone at the Canadian Embassy had changed. It became far more politicized and it was clear that Richard Colvin was struggling enormously to do his work on the question of detainees."

Colvin, whose searing testimony in Ottawa last week ignited the furor anew, may ultimately be remembered as the man who ended Canada's war in Afghanistan. With the countdown already underway toward an end to combat operations in 2011, a new round of national hand-wringing over Canada's role in the faltering effort makes renewal of the commitment far less likely. Amid the swirl of accusations who knew what, when did they know it foreign aid workers who have logged years in Afghanistan wonder at the naivet that informed good Canadian intentions from the beginning. "What did they think was going to happen when they handed over detainees?" asked one Kabul-based foreign national, who spoke on condition of anonymity, citing fear of reprisal against his organization's Afghan staff. Torture allegations have swirled around every Afghan government since the Soviet-backed regime of the 1980s. Afghan warlords who seized the country in the chaotic wake of the Soviet withdrawal used torture, as did the Taliban who replaced them. And just as the Taliban continues to use torture today British Coldstream Guards last year uncovered a Taliban torture chamber in Helmand province aid workers on the ground say the NDS does the same, operating with impunity under the enfeebled regime of Afghan President Hamid Karzai. "Torture in Afghanistan is routine. It is matter-of-fact. In Canada, you might have to blow a Breathalyzer if you are stopped by the police. Well, in Kandahar when you piss somebody off the NDS will come and get you and hook you up to their machines," a senior humanitarian aid official told the Star, speaking on condition of anonymity. "It is medieval, horrific. It is what they do to exercise power and control. And we are terrified to speak about it openly because it leaves our Afghan staff completely exposed and vulnerable to reprisals. To pretend otherwise is a fantasy narrative. "What disturbs me most this story is all about Canada and Canada's moral authority on the international stage and about which minister will have to resign. And sooner or later Canada will leave and it's over. "I would just remind people that for Afghans it is not over. And for the Afghans who have worked closely with the Canadians up to this point, what do you think is going to happen to them when you're gone?"

Chapter 2 More about Accused War Criminal Stephen Harper? Well by God? Someone is saying MacKay and Harper are apparent war criminals? What could this be all about?? As cited ver batim in World News: Stephen Harper and Peter MacKay Could be Charged with War Crimes Sunday, February 13, 2011 http://pushedleft.blogspot.ca/2011/02/world-news-stephen-harper-and-peter.html While the pundits cackle over the Afghan documents that we had to fight so hard to have made public, the International Criminal Court has a different mandate. They are now investigating Stephen Harper and Peter MacKay for violations of the Geneva Convention. Stephen Harper has been trying to distance himself from the ICC, snubbing his nose at the convention, but there are some things that go beyond his supreme rule. The ICCs chief prosecutor, Luis Moreno Ocampo, is conducting a preliminary examination into human rights abuses committed in Afghanistan by Taliban and ISAF forces alike. And while the ICC has focused in recent years on prosecuting African despots, Mr. Ocampo said he will not back down from prosecuting Western governments that are not holding their officials accountable for their actions. I prosecute whoever is in my jurisdiction. I cannot allow that we are a court just for the Third World. If the First World commits crimes, they have to investigate. If they dont, I shall investigate, Mr. Ocampo said. Thats the rule and we have one rule for everyone. According to the ICC, Canadian officials (mainly Stephen Harper and Peter MacKay) may be in breach of the Geneva Convention and have launched an official war crimes investigation. Now personally I don't care if these two do end up in prison, but it's just that they are taking Canada down with them. War Crimes? Canada? And if that isn't enough of a black eye, we also learn that the Harper government has hired goons fighting in Afghanistan, that are deemed too brutal for even the United States.

Canada spent more than $41-million on hired guns in Afghanistan over four years, much of it going to security companies slammed by the U.S. Senate for having warlords on the payroll. Both the Defence and Foreign Affairs departments have employed 11 security contractors in Kabul and Kandahar since 2006, but have kept quiet about the details. The records show Foreign Affairs paid nearly $8-million to ArmorGroup Securities Ltd., recently cited in a U.S. Senate investigation as relying on Afghan warlords who in 2007 were engaged in murder, kidnapping, bribery and antiCoalition activities. What has he done to us?

Chapter 3 Even more about Accused War Criminal Stephen Harper? Well by God? Someone is saying MacKay and Harper are apparent war criminals? What what could this be all about?? As cited ver batim in Prime Minister Stephen Harper and Canadian War Crimes in Afghanistan By Michael Keefer Global Research, April 24, 2011 http://www.globalresearch.ca/prime-minister-stephen-harper-and-canadian-warcrimes-in-afghanistan/24473 Torture has been a grim component of nearly every aspect of the current war in Afghanistan. Setting aside the behaviour of the Taliban regime and their Afghan opponents, the warlords of the Northern Alliance, which included grievous violations of human rights, US forces were involved in torture from almost the moment of their arrival in Afghanistan in late 2001. In the years after 2001, the US government attempted to justify its invasion and occupation of Afghanistan through narratives of the 9/11 terrorist attacks that were based almost entirely on confessions elicited by torture from actual or suspected associates of Osama bin Laden. And torture has been an integral part of the counterinsurgency tactics employed by the US, its NATO allies, and the Karzai regime. These tacticsinvolving infantry sweeps through communities in whose vicinity resistance has been encountered, more or less indiscriminate arrests, and the handing over of prisoners to the Afghan police or to the National Directorate of Security, whose intelligence (based on torture) then serves as a guide to further arrestshave victimized large numbers of civilians, most of them people with no connection to the Afghan resistance. Canada, as a practitioner of these tactics, has been implicated for at least the past six years in a detainee-torture scandal, one of whose consequences has been very serious damage to Canadas international reputation. There is evidence that this scandal reaches to the very highest levels of the Canadian government. 1. Illegality of the Afghanistan War
10

Growing numbers of people are skeptical about the justifications offered by the United States for the invasion and occupation of Afghanistan. Nearly all of the evidence in the key chapters of the 9/11 Commission Report which assign responsibility for the 9/11 terrorist attacks is derived from torturewhich means that these chapters have the epistemic value of pure fiction. (One of the major sources, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, was waterboarded 183 times by the CIA; his confessions were confirmed by the interrogations of Abu Zubaydah, who was waterboarded 83 times. The 9/11 Commissions requests to interview these highvalue prisoners, or even just their CIA interrogators, were denied; and in 2005, in defiance of court orders, the CIA destroyed its videotapes of the interrogations.)[1] The invasion of Afghanistan appears to have been primarily motivated by the energy geopolitics of a new Great Game. When the Taliban came to power in 1996, there were negotiations for a Unocal pipeline from the Caspian Basin gas fields across Afghanistan into Pakistan and thence to the Indian Ocean. But after Osama bin Ladens 1998 bombings of US embassies in East Africa and retaliatory Tomahawk strikes into Afghanistan, these talks collapsed. There is evidence that in the summer of 2001months before the 9/11 attacksAmerican diplomats threatened the Taliban that continued obstruction of the pipeline plan would result in a bombing campaign, and their overthrow, by October of that year.[2] US and Canadian government officials have scoffed at the notion that energy geopolitics had anything to do with the invasion and occupation of Afghanistan. But in June 2008 the distinguished petroleum economist John Foster, who has worked for British Petroleum, the World Bank, Petro-Canada, and the InterAmerican Development Bank, published a monograph on the subject of plans for a $7.6-billion Turkmenistan-Afghanistan-Pakistan-India (TAPI) natural gas pipeline that was going to be built, at American insistence, in 2010and the Canadian government acknowledged that Canadian forces would indeed be assigned to protect the pipeline, whose route lies through Kandahar province, where most of our casualties have been suffered.[3] However, it was for different reasons that on October 9, 2001, two days after the bombing of Afghanistan began, Michael Mandel, of Torontos Osgoode Hall Law School, declared the attack illegal. In his words, it violate[d] international law and the express words of the United Nations Charter, whose Article 51 only gives a state the right to repel an attack that is ongoing or imminent as a temporary measure until the UN Security Council can take steps necessary for international peace and security.[4] Since the attack was not ongoing,[5] and since neither of the UN Security Council resolutions condemning the September 11 attacks can remotely be said to authorize the use of military force, Mandel declared that those who die from the attack on Afghanistan will be victims of a crime against humanity, just like the victims of the Sept. 11 attacks.[6] In
11

November 2001, Thomas Jefferson School of Law professor Marjorie Cohn made similar arguments, adding that the bombing was not legitimate self-defence because the atrocities of 9/11 were criminal attacks, not armed attacks by another state.[7] Subsequently expounded by Mandel and by Cohn at greater length, and supplemented by further considerations, including the fact that in September and October 2001 the Taliban regime offered to give Bin Laden up for trial in a third country,[8] these views are shared by other leading specialists in international law, among them Francis Boyle, Alex Conte, and Myra Williamson.[9] 2. The Canadian Torture Scandal Illegalities of a more concrete nature have come to haunt Canadas participation in the war in Afghanistan. In December 2001, a cover of legality was given to the formation of an occupation army, or International Security Assistance Force (ISAF), by the UN Security Councils acceptance of the claim that this force was established at the request of the Government of Afghanistan[10]which at the time consisted of Hamid Karzai, protected by a guard of US SEAL and British SBS special forces soldiers, and a loose coalition of US-financed Northern Alliance warlords. But it was the question of how to dispose of Afghans captured by Canadian troops, whether in combat conditions or merely under suspicion, that developed into a specifically Canadian scandal. In January 2002, there were questions in Parliament over the revelation that members of the Joint Task Force 2 unit, after taking part in the fighting in the Tora Bora mountains, had transferred prisoners into US custody.[11] The horrors of Abu Graib in Iraq became public knowledge at the end of April 2004; shortly afterward, it was revealed that prisoners held by the US in Afghanistan were also systematically tortured, and in at least five cases had died from their treatment. In June 2004, a Human Rights Watch spokesman declared that in US prisons in Afghanistan The entire system operates outside the rule of law. At least in Iraq, the US is trying to run a system that meets Geneva standards. In Afghanistan, theyre not.[12] With the option of Canadian-run POW camps ruled out from the start, and with further transfers into US prisons becoming politically impossible, the Canadian Forces passed captives on to Afghan authorities, amid unlikely claims that statebuilding programs were taking effect. But even after acquiring a faade of legitimacy through the 2004 presidential and 2005 parliamentary elections,[13] the Karzai regime remained one to which any transfer of prisoners was a most dubious matter. By 2005, Eileen Olexiuk, the second-ranking Canadian diplomat in Kabul, was raising concerns to the Paul Martin government about the fate of transferred detainees.[14] Her messages were ignored, and a toothless memorandum of agreement regarding detainee transfers that was signed in
12

December 2005 by General Rick Hillier, Chief of the Defence Staff, and the Afghan Minister of Defence, contained no provisions for follow-up access to detainees.[15] Evidence of systematic torture continued to accumulate, and Richard Colvin, who in 2006-2007 held the diplomatic position Olexiuk had occupied, called attention to it in urgent messages which he circulated as widely as possible through all the official government and military channels available to him.[16] Article 12 of the Third Geneva Convention is categorical: Prisoners of war may only be transferred [] to a Power which is a party to the Convention and after the Detaining Power has satisfied itself of the willingness and ability of such transferee Power to apply the Convention.[17] Afghanistan has been a party to the 1949 Geneva Conventions since 1956, and in late 2009 acceded to the 1977 Additional Protocols I and II, which protect victims of international conflicts and civil wars.[18] However, Olexiuks and Colvins messages show that Canada had not satisfied itselfdespite whatever senior officials might saythat the Karzai regime would treat prisoners decently. Even without direct statements from Canadian diplomats, senior military and civilian officials could have no grounds for pretending ignorance. In December 2009, Lawyers Against the War (LAW) itemized in an Open letter to the Parliamentary Special Committee on the Canadian Mission in Afghanistan the evidence that Canadas detainee policies violated Canadian and international law.[19] By the spring of 2007, this includedin addition to legal opinions sent by LAW on February 1, 2004 and March 6, 2007 to Prime Ministers Martin and Harper and their senior ministersexpressions of concern by Amnesty International in early 2002 over detainee transfers to US forces, and in December 2005 over the widespread, longstanding reality of torture throughout the Afghan prison system;[20] the Report of the Independent Expert on the Situation of Human Rights in Afghanistan, M. Cherif Bassouni, to the UN Commission on Human Rights (11 March 2005), referring to torture practices current within the Afghan security system; The London Compact of February 1, 2006, which set as a goalfor the end of 2010the Afghan states adoption of corrective measures [] aimed at preventing arbitrary arrest and detention, torture, extortion and illegal appropriation of property with a view to the elimination of these practices;[21] and the US State Departments report on Afghanistan in 2006, which noted reports by human rights organizations that Afghan authorities in Herat, Helmand and elsewhere used torture consisting of pulling out fingernails and toenails, burning with hot oil, beatings, sexual humiliation, and sodomy.[22] Ironically, it was evidence of prisoner abuse in Canadian rather than Afghan custody, obtained in early February 2007 by University of Ottawa law professor Amir Attaran and passed on to the Military Police Complaints Commission, that helped to give the issue increased public prominence.[23] A quick succession of
13

other events brought the pot to a boil. On February 21, 2007, Amnesty International and the BC Civil Liberties Association applied for a judicial review of Canadas detainee-transfer policy.[24] In March, the Minister of National Defence, Gordon OConnor, acknowledged that since April 2006 he had repeatedly misled the House of Commons by falsely claiming that the Red Cross was monitoring transferred prisoners on Canadas behalf.[25] And on April 23, 2007, The Globe and Mail published an investigative report, based on interviews with thirty Afghan prisoners whom the Canadian army had handed over to the Afghan National Directorate of Security, which showed they had been systematically tortured, with apparent Canadian complicity.[26] University of British Columbia law professor Michael Byers commented: If this report is accurate, Canadians have engaged in war crimes, not only individually but also as a matter of policy.[27] The Military Police Complaints Commission inquiry prompted by Professor Attirans complaint subpoenaed the diplomat Richard Colvin, who in late 2009, when the MPCCs proceedings had been seriously delayed by interventions from the Harper government,[28] was also called before the House of Commons Special Committee on the Canadian Mission in Afghanistan. In October 2009, shortly before he testified there, the claims of Prime Minister Harper and Defence Minister Peter MacKay that they had not been informed on the detainee issue were vigorously refuted by General Rick Hilliers memoir, A Soldier First.[29] But Colvins testimony on November 18, 2009 was more thoroughly damaging in its exposure of high-level lawlessness. He revealed that the Canadian militarys system of reporting the transfer of detainees delayed follow-up, making it all the more likely that they would be tortured (as his sources thought nearly all of them were); he claimed that in 2006-2007 senior Foreign Affairs officialsincluding David Mulroney, the Assistant Deputy Minister responsible for Afghanistan, who was also Prime Minister Harpers Foreign and Defence Policy Advisorhad censored and blocked the distribution of dispatches from Kabul; and he exposed the fact that the government had made very determined attempts to intimidate him and prevent him from giving testimony. Finally, Colvin excoriated policies under which, disregard[ing] our core principles and values, Canadians retained and handed over for severe torture a lot of innocent people, which is a very serious violation of international and Canadian law, and which also alienated us from the population and strengthened the insurgency.[30] 3. Running With the Big Dogs Complicity in torture, Colvin reminded the parliamentarians, is a war crime. By the summer of 2010, despite a disgraceful smear campaign against Colvin led by Defence Minister Peter MacKay (which prompted a public letter of rebuke signed by more than 100 former diplomats, many of them ambassadors),[31] despite Stephen Harpers shutting down of the MPCC by
14

refusing to appoint a replacement when its chairs term of office expired, and his proroguing of the House of Commons in order to close down the parliamentary committee which had heard Colvins evidence (this prompted a public letter signed by more than 175 professors of political science denouncing Harper for having violated the trust of Parliament and of the Canadian people),[32] and despite Harpers defiance of Parliaments call to have all of the relevant documents released, the full extent and depth of that complicity was evident. Highly segmented state structures may often seem to operate in an almost chaotic manner. But at timeseven when the governing party is doing its best to obscure and deny access to the evidencea clear constellation of intentionality emerges from the murk. With help from the late Jack Hooper, who was CSIS Assistant Director of Operations from 2002 to 2005, and Deputy Director of Operations until his retirement in 2007, we can give this pattern a name. Known for being pithy and outspoken, Hooper liked to tell his colleagues that If youre going to run with the big dogs, youd better learn to piss in the high grass.[33] CSIS, we now know, was involved in interrogating Afghan prisoners from early 2002 until December 2007; and journalists Jim Bronskill and Murray Brewster learned from an unnamed source or sources that one of the Kandahar interrogation sites used by CSIS, work[ing] alongside the American CIA and in close co-operation with Canadas secretive, elite JTF-2 commandos, was a secluded basethis seems a polite way of saying black site or secret torture facilityknown as Graceland.[34] Running with the big dogs apparently meant complicity in the work of Afghan as well as American torturers. Asadullah Khalid, the governor of Kandahar province, who was widely accused of corruption, drug-trafficking, and direct personal involvement in torture, seems to have retained his position after 2006 only thanks to the interventions of senior Canadian military officials.[35] General Rick Hillier, the Chief of the Defence Staff who famously defined the Taliban as scumbags and murderers whom it was the Canadian armys job to kill, praised Khalids work in early 2008 as phenomenal and associated it with some incredible changes in the province, adding that if theres an issue of any kind of impropriety whatsoever, thats an issue for the Afghanistan government.[36] It is of course an issue for the Canadian government as well. Scott Taylor, a journalist with wide experience in Afghanistan, has endorsed Hilliers view of the Taliban, but with an important corrective: What he failed to mention is that the guys were propping up are also scumbags and murderers.[37] Richard Colvins November 2009 testimony to the Parliamentary Special Committee revealed another aspect of Canadas collaboration in Afghan torturea very peculiar process, he called it, in which the notification of detainee transfers went from the Canadian military police in Kandahar to the Canadian Forces command group at Kandahar airport, then to the Canadian
15

Expeditionary Force Command (CEFCOM) in Ottawa, who informed the Canadian Embassy in Geneva, who contacted Red Cross headquarters in Geneva, who at last notified the Red Cross mission in Kandahar. While the Dutch and British, who also had troops in southern Afghanistan, notified the Red Cross office in Kandahar directly about prisoner transfers, so that within a day at most the Red Cross could monitor their treatment, this Canadian paper-chase could take weeks or even monthsduring which time the transferred prisoner became effectively invisible. What might seem an idiotic instance of bureaucracy-run-wild was actually part of a more serious wildness, a policy of deliberate obstructionism. For as Colvin also testified, When the Red Cross wanted to engage on detainee issues, for three months the Canadian Forces in Kandahar wouldnt even take their phone calls. The same thing happened to the NATO ISAF command in Kabul, who had responsibilities to report detainee numbers to Brussels, but were told, We know what you want, but we wont tell you.[38] Senior Canadian officers have indicated the value they placed on intelligence received in regular meetings with leaders of Afghans notorious National Directorate of Security[39]and it seems clear that the desk-soldiers with aspirations to join the big dogs wanted to keep other puppies from sniffing out what passes for intelligence-gathering in the tall grass. Since June 2010 we have known that CEFCOM intervened vigorously in the spring of 2007 to put a stop to Colvins circulation of information about the torture of detainees: a CEFCOM memo declared that his continued employment in Kabul [] could become a liability to the government of Canadas interests if left unchecked; and on two occasions senior officials, including a lieutenantgeneral and an associate deputy minister intervened to caution him.[40] Within days of Colvins November 2009 testimony to the effect that Prime Minister Harpers Defence and Foreign Policy Advisor had censored messages from the Kabul embassy about detainee torture, and Colvins exposure of the Canadian militarys obstruction of Red Cross and ISAF attempts to monitor prisoner transfers, a report in the Toronto Star revealed how directly the Prime Minister had involved himself in the issue in 2007. According to a former senior NATO public affairs official, the denials of torture issued by NATO in Kabulat a time when it was privately and generally acknowledged in our office that the chances of good treatment at the hands of Afghan security forces were almost zerowere scripted by Harper and his office in Ottawa: I was told this was the titanic issue for Prime Minister Harper and that every statement that went out needed to be cleared by him personally []. The lines were, We have no evidence of coercive treatment being used against detainees handed over to the Afghans. [.] [I]t was made clear to us that this was coming
16

from the Prime Ministers Office, which was running the public affairs aspect of Canadian engagement in Afghanistan with a 6,000-mile screwdriver.[41] The pattern that emerges from mainstream news reports is thus one of high-level complicity in torture, combined with attemptsorganized from the very top of the Canadian governmentto falsify the public record. According to law professor Amir Attaran, who has seen uncensored versions of the documents that the Harper government has so strenuously resisted sharing with Parliament, the paper trail is thoroughly incriminating. In March 2010 Attiran told CBC News: If these documents were released [in full], what they will show is that Canada partnered deliberately with the torturers in Afghanistan for the interrogation of detainees []. There would be a question of rendition and a question of war crimes on the part of certain Canadian officials. Thats whats in these documents, and thats why the government is covering up as hard as it can.[42] 4. Conclusion The clear pattern of intentionality revealed in the words and actions of senior Canadian government bureaucrats and senior military officers is both embarrassing (these people actually believe, despite copious evidence to the contrary, that torture produces real intelligence)[43] and also a scandalous offence against the rule of law. More scandalous still is the evidence that these people were acting on directives from Stephen Harperthat Harper knew perfectly well that the Afghan puppetstate tortures the prisoners handed over to it by the Canadian Forces, but nonetheless permitted the continuation of this system, and that he actually took charge of the program of lying about it.

Chapter 4 And a little bit more about Accused War Criminal Stephen Harper? Well by God? Someone is saying MacKay and Harper are apparent war criminals? What what could this be all about?? As cited ver batim in Judge sought to try Stephen Harper and Peter MacKay with war crimes and crimes against humanity. Posted by PCLatest news, World newsTuesday, May 3rd, 2011 http://presscore.ca/?p=2455 The Nrnberg Tribunal condemned a war of aggression in the strongest terms: To initiate a war of aggression . . . is not only an international crime; it is the supreme international crime differing only from other war crimes in that it contains within itself the accumulated evil of the whole. It held individuals accountable for crimes against peace, defined as the planning, preparation, initiation or waging of a war of aggression, or a war in violation of international treaties, agreements or assurances, or participation in a common plan or conspiracy for the accomplishment of any of the foregoing. When the United Nations General Assembly unanimously affirmed the Nrnberg principles in 1946, it affirmed the principle of individual accountability for such crimes. Canadian officials, mainly Stephen Harper and Peter MacKay have breached the Geneva Convention with the willful planning, preparing and initiating of a war of aggression against Libya. Libya did not attack Canada, the United States or any other foreign state. Libyan leaders have only killed foreign paid mercenaries. Mercenaries are not protected by the Geneva Convention. Any leader of any country can kill any and all mercenaries who are actively participating in acts of rebellion, revolt, sabotage, or any other act that seeks to overthrown the government. If foreign mercenaries were to enter Canada and try to overthrow the government of Canada by acts of violence including rebellion, revolt, sabotage or armed attacks then the Canadian government would be legally permitted to use lethal force to either capture or eliminate the threat. That is exactly what has happened in Libya. Foreign mercenaries were paid by the United States government (through the CIA) to infiltrate Libya to overthrow Muammar Gaddaffi. Foreign paid and controlled mercenaries were ordered by the CIA to use violence to overthrow the Libyan government. For the sake of national security Gaddaffi ordered a crackdown against the violence initiated by the CIA mercenaries who
25

entered his country illegally to overthrown his government. Gaddaffi forces have killed only foreign mercenaries (people not protected by the Geneva Convention). It is French, the United States, British and Canadian forces who are killing Libyan civilians in their illegal war of aggression against Libya. Stephen Harper and Peter MacKay have willfully participated in a common plan with the United States government to launch an unprovoked armed attack against the territorial integrity and political independence of Libya. News media reports from both Canada and the US unequivocally demonstrates that all the elements of a war crime are present. Harper claims the UN has authorized the use of force against Libya. The UN Security Council can never authorize the use of force by any UN member state against any other nation state. UN Charter Article 2 Section 4 All Members shall refrain in their international relations from the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any state, or in any other manner inconsistent with the Purposes of the United Nations. The UN Charter Article 2 Section 7 specifically forbids its members from participating in the kind of aggression that Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper has willfully planned for, prepared for and initiated against Libya. Nothing contained in the present Charter shall authorize the United Nations to intervene in matters which are essentially within the domestic jurisdiction of any state or shall require the Members to submit such matters to settlement under the present Charter; but this principle shall not prejudice the application of enforcement measures under Chapter Vll. In 1974, the United Nations General Assembly adopted a definition of aggression. It defined aggression as necessarily being the act of a State, and described the specific actions of one State against another which constitute aggression. In its work on the draft Code of Crimes against the Peace and Security of Mankind, the United Nations International Law Commission, echoing the Nrnberg Tribunal, also concluded that individuals could be held accountable for acts of aggression. The Commission indicated the specific conduct for which individuals could be held accountable initiating, planning, preparing or waging aggression and that only those individuals in positions of leadership who order or actively participate in the acts could incur responsibility. Stephen Harper and Peter MacKay can be held accountable for initiating, planning, preparing or waging aggression against the sovereign state of Libya and its people. UN Resolution 1973 does not authorized the use of force against Libyan civilian infrastructure nor its elected leaders. Use of force was unlawfully authorized (resolution is a violation of the UN Charter Article 2 Section 4 and 7) for the purpose of
26

protecting civilians and civilian populated areas and no foreign occupation force of any form is permitted. Canada has not only prepared for and planned for a war of aggression against Libya and its civilian population it has and is launching air strikes that has destroyed civilian infrastructure and killed unknown numbers of civilians who were residing or working in those targeted and destroyed civilian buildings. Canada is not and will not become a safe haven for persons who willfully commit war crimes, crimes against humanity or other reprehensible acts regardless of who they might be, and when or where they commit their heinous and cowardly acts of aggression and assault against any civilian and any civilian population. Under Canadas War Crimes Program, war criminals and those responsible for crimes against humanity are not welcome in Canada, whether the crimes were committed during World War II or more recently. Having ratified the Geneva Convention, Canada incorporated its principles into domestic law through the Crimes Against Humanity and War Crimes Act. Under this domestic law, the RCMP can investigate government officials. Stephen Harper and Peter MacKay can be put on trial in Canada for war crimes. Its time to insist that the true war criminals be investigated and prosecuted, regardless of who they are. Its time to formally charge Stephen Harper and Peter MacKay with war crimes and crimes against humanity. To try them and hold them accountable to the Libyan people, to the Canadian people and to the International community for their crimes. Poll Results declares guilty verdict In the PRESS Core poll Is the UN guilty of crimes against peace and crimes against humanity for authorizing NATO forces to attack Libya? as of today the majority (63%, 2,416 Votes) believes that they are guilty of crimes against peace and crimes against humanity.

Chapter 5 And a final bit about Accused War Criminal Stephen Harper? Well by God? Someone is saying MacKay and Harper are apparent war criminals? What what could this be all about?? As cited ver batim in [R-G] War crimes investigation proceeding against Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper? Richard Menec bookfind at mymts.net Thu Feb 9 11:59:01 MST 2012 http://greenhouse.economics.utah.edu/pipermail/rad-green/2012February/047898.html War crimes investigation proceeding against Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper? World news Tuesday, February 8th, 2011

The ICC's chief prosecutor, Luis Moreno Ocampo, is conducting a "preliminary examination" into human rights abuses committed in Afghanistan by Taliban and ISAF forces alike. And while the ICC has focused in recent years on prosecuting African despots, Mr. Ocampo said he will not back down from prosecuting Western governments that are not holding their officials accountable for their actions. "I prosecute whoever is in my jurisdiction. I cannot allow that we are a court just for the Third World. If the First World commits crimes, they have to investigate. If they don't, I shall investigate," Mr. Ocampo said. "That's the rule and we have one rule for everyone." According to the ICC, Canadian officials (mainly Stephen Harper and Peter MacKay) may be in breach of the Geneva Convention and have launched an official war crimes investigation. Between 2006 and 2007, Richard Colvin, the second-highest-ranking Canadian diplomat in Kabul, sent 17 reports about torture to Ottawa. The reports, which were circulated widely within the departments of Foreign Affairs and National Defence, confirmed public warnings from international officials and journalists.
28

In March 2006, Louise Arbour, the then UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, reported that complaints of torture at the hands of Afghan officials were "common." In June 2006, the Afghanistan Independent Human Rights Commission estimated that "about one in three prisoners handed over by Canadians are beaten or even tortured in local jails." In March 2007, the U.S. State Department reported that unconfirmed reports of torture were "numerous" in Afghanistan. In April 2007, the Globe and Mail reported on "a litany of gruesome stories and a clear pattern of abuse by the Afghan authorities who work closely with Canadian troops." Yet the Canadian Government did next to nothing. In April 2007, Prime Minister Stephen Harper said that "Canadian military officials don't send individuals off to be tortured." Colvin's testimony directly contradicts the Prime Minister's statement. He reports that all the transferred detainees were tortured and that this was widely know in Kandahar, including among Canadian soldiers and diplomats. Colvin reports that the Red Cross tried unsuccessfully for three months to convey its concerns to the Canadian military about problems in the way Canada was reporting to the Red Cross when it transferred detainees to the Afghan authorities. Colvin's allegations emerged because he was called to testify before the Military Police Complaints Commission, a body-established after the Somalia Inquiry-which has been investigating detainee transfers at the request of Amnesty International and the BC Civil Liberties Association. The Harper government sought to block Colvin's testimony before the MPCC, citing national security. The obstruction prompted the three Canadian opposition parties to call Colvin to testify before a Parliamentary committee. The actual facts are still emerging, but all the elements of a war crime are present. The prohibition of torture ranks with the prohibitions of genocide and slavery as one of the most fundamental rules of international law. Torture-and complicity in torture-is a "grave breach" of the 1949 Geneva Conventions. If Canadian officials allowed detainees to be transferred to Afghan custody despite an apparent risk of torture, and chose not to take reasonable steps to protect them, they are as guilty of a war crime as the torturers themselves. They can be prosecuted in Canada under the Crimes Against Humanity and War Crimes Act. Or they could be hauled before the
29

International Criminal Court. Canada has ratified the ICC's statute, giving it jurisdiction over Canadians who commit war crimes anywhere. However, the International Criminal Court will not intervene if Canadian officials are willing and able to investigate and prosecute. As Stephen Harper has been uncooperative the ICC has proceeded to investigate minority Prime Minister Stephen Harper and other high ranking Canadian political officials including Defense Minister Peter MacKay for war crimes. With the government refusing to start a public inquiry and the International Criminal Court having launched a "preliminary" investigation into the Afghan detainee issue, law experts say there is a very real chance Canadian officials could be charged with war crimes. "International law is very clear," said Mr. Dosanjh, a lawyer and former attorney general of British Columbia. "You need circumstantial evidence; you don't need actual knowledge of any specific allegations, or actual knowledge of torture. There was substantial knowledge of torture in Afghan jails. Every kid on the ground knew that. All of the reports, national or international, knew that." University of Ottawa law professor Errol Mendes says Mr. Dosanjh was correct. The government's oft-repeated line that there was no documented physical evidence of torture of Canadian-transferred detainees is a "detour," he said, which ignores the actual requirements of the law: circumstantial evidence that a risk of torture existed. Having ratified the Geneva Convention, Canada incorporated its principles into domestic law through the Crimes Against Humanity and War Crimes Act. Under this domestic law, Mr. Mendes said, the RCMP can investigate government officials. Mr. Mendes said that for the "honour and dignity of Canada," the government should call a public inquiry. Once the facts are out in public, he said, the RCMP could decide whether to charge officials, or whether the political consequences-for example, if a minister were to resign-were sufficient. He added that jurisprudence holds that the responsibility for such transfers rests with those who authorized the transfer. "While the front line soldiers may have done the actual transfer, the culpability actually lies at the civilian command level: The ones who set the framework in place," Mr. Mendes said. However, since the Harper government refused to launch a Canadian investigation that can open it up to international judicial systems. The International Criminal Court considers itself a court of last resort,
30

abiding the principle of "complementarity." This means the ICC can only exercise its jurisdiction where the home country of the suspect in question is unable or unwilling to prosecute. As Harper is unwilling to launch a Canadian investigation the ICC is now proceeding with it own. Due to the failure of Canadian officials to impose a rigorous transfer agreement, Harper has wilfully been placing detainees at well-documented risk of torture, cruel treatment and outrages upon personal dignity. As such, Harper and MacKay have been committing war crimes.in circumstances that clearly fall within the Court's jurisdiction." "There are substantial grounds to believe that when Canadian Forces transfer a prisoner into Afghan custody, torture or ill treatment will occur," In doing so, Canada is in violation of its international human rights obligations. "For a significant period of time, [officials] knew there was a substantial risk of torture, they knew how to prevent it, and they chose for a substantial period of time not to take preventative measures." This case is particularly serious because, rather than torture being abetted by a low-ranking soldier acting alone, complicity appears to go "all the way up the chain of command up to the defense minister, foreign minister and even to the prime minster of Canada." That's what distinguishes this from standard war crimes cases. They've got the command responsibility, and that's why the ICC prosecutor have initiate a formal investigation. As Colvin himself explained: "If we disregard our core principles and values, we also lose our moral authority abroad. If we are complicit in the torture of Afghans in Kandahar, how can we credibly promote human rights in Tehran or Beijing?" Even more seriously, the government's indifference to torture may have created greater risks for Canadian soldiers. Insurgents who believe they will be tortured will fight to the death rather than surrender, placing Canadian soldiers at increased danger of harm. As a result, it is possible that one or more soldiers might have been killed as a result of the Canadian Government's actions. Again, as Colvin cogently explained: "In my judgment, some of our actions in Kandahar, including complicity in torture, turned local people against us. Instead of winning hearts and minds, we caused Kandaharis to fear the foreigners. Canada's detainee practices alienated us from the population and strengthened the insurgency."
31

It's time for Canadians to rally together. It's time to insist that any war criminals be investigated and prosecuted, regardless of who they are.

Chapter 6 Lets now turn our attention to the killing of Mary Steinhauser! Terry Mallenby has been saying that guards at the old B.C. Pen purposefully shot and killed her is since her death in 1975? And, 35 years later it appears there may be some truth to this supposition? And, what did the Government of Canada apparently do they tried to cover this fact up with a sham investigation? Mary Steinhauser deserves a lot better from her employer the Canada government, run by accused war criminal Stephen Harper! In fact, while we were Classification Officers at the BC Pen, she was a reference for Terry Mallenby in becoming a Registered Social Worker [see Appendix 1 and 2 cited below]. He also knew Mary Steinhauser during their undergraduate years at Simon Fraser University in British Columbia, Canada where they collaborated on an undergrad course where they compiled a report on The Epidemiology of Mental Illness- where they did a patient file review at one of the psych hospitals in the area the author believes it was for Psych 496 directed studies its been a long time since then. The BC Pen was a formidable fortress and had been around for a long time [see Appendix 3 to 6 cited below]. It had had its day by the time Mary Steinhauser became a Classification Officer there [see Appendix 7 to 10 cited below] The BC Pen housed some interesting characters in its day [see Appendix 11 cited below].

The BC Penitentiary opened in 1878 and had a very colourful history which included riots, hostage-taking and murders. It lasted for 102 years until it closed in 1980. The story of the British Columbia Penitentiary, the first federal penitentiary west of Manitoba, begins with its Sapperton site. Located on the north bank overlooking the Fraser River, it was an ideal spot for the campsite of the Royal Engineers who resided there from 1859 to 1863. Under Colonel Richard Clement Moody, these men laid out New Westminster as the capital of the mainland colony of British Columbia.

Bill Miner (1847-1913) The Great Northern Railway The Americans had known about the wealth of British Columbia since the fur brigade days. Since that time they had always been keen in competition with the British to make a fast dollar by tapping the country's natural resources. A Canadian turned American was responsible for American railway lines coming up into Southwestern British Columbia from the United States shortly after the turn of the century. James Jerome Hill was an Ontario farm boy who had fallen in love with
45

railroads on a visit to St. Paul, Minnesota. In the early 1870s Hill had managed to team up with top officials of the Hudson's Bay Company and the Bank of Montreal to scrape up (179) the capital to begin the construction of the Canadian Pacific Railway. Hill had been a director of the Canadian Pacific Railway until he quit in a huff and went on his own to become that railway's most wily competitor. The two railways engaged in a knock-'em-down-drag-'em- out fight, no holds barred, and the annals of British Columbia's railway history are studded with their encounters. With the money from the sale of his shares in the Canadian Pacific Railway, Hill went on to build the Great Northern Railway in the United States. This railroad paralleled the United States-Canadian border just south of the 49th parallel. Hill kept his eye on the border territory north of the parallel which the Canadian Pacific Railway lines would not serve. He felt certain that tariffs between the two countries would stop. He was right. The 'Empire Builder', as he was often called, wasted no time and began preparing to run a line into the rich coal deposits of the Crow's Nest Pass. When the Canadian Pacific Railway got wind of his plans they prepared to do likewise. By the turn of the century Hill lines were pushing into Grand Forks and Republic, Washington, with the idea of a Spokane-Vancouver link. In 1905 he started to push westward from these lines. The Canadian line was being built by the Vancouver, Victoria, and Eastern Railway and Navigation Company, a subsidiary of the Great Northern. It was this railway which passed through South Langley. The Great Northern had two stations in Langley. One was at Aldergrove. The other was called Lincoln by the American entrepreneurs in honour of the United States President. It was the Great Northern that speeded up the opening of South Langley. Logging concerns leased huge timber berths knowing that spurs could be run into their camps from the Great Northern line. The railroad in turn would haul the logs out to the waterfront. Local men who worked on the grade which passed through Langley were Forslund Brothers and Samuel Monahan. The Forslund brothers hauled fill for the grade at Lincoln for $3.50 a (180) day including their own team of horses until the railway boss' accountant realized they could haul the fill by train cheaper. One of Monahan's first jobs working along the line was hammering dating nails into all the ties. On the head of each nail he drove into the tie was 07 for the year 1907. These dates told the railway officials when the ties were due for replacement. Monahan was paid for his work in gold coin. One section of the Great Northern had to cross the Yale Road three times in less than a mile in order to get the grade.

46

The Great Northern Railway was not really interested in dealing with local traffic and freight. At a meeting held at (181) Aldergrove residents charged that trains were nearly always late, that the company had no agent at Abbotsford, and that freight was thrown off the train and no one left to care for it. They also complained that the freight cars were unsuitable and that meat and furniture sometimes had to be shipped in dirty coal cars. Great Northern crews sometimes carried shotguns, not because of Bill Miner-type individuals, (although Miner is credited with robbing at least one and perhaps two of their trains) but instead to do some pheasant shooting around the Lincoln Station. Each afternoon, during the months of September and October, the train would stop here while the crew went out to bag some birds. The trainmen would ride the cow catcher, shotguns at the ready, waiting for any birds to take to the air. One man who knew Bill Miner's train robber partner Louis Colquhoun was Langley's Alex Houston. While in the British Columbia Penitentiary the two were cellmates. Dying from tuberculosis Colquhoun told Houston where the trio had hidden the loot from their many robberies. Instead of waiting for parole Houston decided to make an escape bid. Trained in the prison to be a tailor Houston requested a transfer to the blacksmith's shop. Here he filed himself a key with which he escaped. Following the escape Houston rode straight out the Yale Road to Langley on a stolen horse. His freedom was short lived. Moccasin telegraph soon informed valley residents that Houston was out. Alexander Vanetta was on the lookout. He saw Houston riding toward him on the Yale Road. Jumping out from behind a cedar stump he pointed his shotgun at Houston and told him to stop his horse and throw up his hands. Instead Houston dug his heels into his mount and fled. Vanetta fired and blew him out of the saddle with a blast of buckshot. Houston was returned to gaol. Ironically he was released a short time later. Upon his release Houston went into the Similkameen Country to look for Bill Miner's cache. Unfortunately for him Miner had escaped from the penitentiary before his release. Also time had healed the blazes the robbers had left on the trees. He found nothing. References courtesy of the Fair Use Act, for research purposes, to clarify the authors point of view.

Chapter 7 Mary Steinhauser was a true social worker! Mary Steinhauser was a true social worker, an advocate for her clients, no matter who they might be. Unlike the so-called social workers that run for cover when the shit hits the fan because of their screw ups, like the Manitoba social workers union disgustingly trying to scuttle inquiry into abused girl's death [see Appendix 12 cited below]. Or, the cover-up by the Newfoundland government of the sexual abuse at the Mount Cashel Orphanage. As cited: "CAUTION": Before you go any further, I must tell you however that Newfoundland is not just a quaint tourist destination, as the following pretty little countryside and seascape photos might suggest .... or conversely the place where the not very pretty seal hunt occurs. Newfoundland is also infamous for its indifference to one of its most precious resources ... its orphaned, unwanted foster children. Childhood sexual abuse has long been rampant and continues to receive justices blind eye. Not only sex abuse of children but an elitist attitude allowing misery upon misery to be heaped upon children of a physical and psychological nature by religious people, teachers, social workers and in general professional people.1 Mary Steinhauser wouldnt have put up with such crap- she would have blown the whistle on such shoddy social work behavior. In fact, one social worker did blow the whistle on the Newfoundland Government, but what did the Premier of Newfoundland, Clyde Wells do, he got rid of the whistle blower.2 And, if some of Mary Steinhausers clients were Aboriginal offenders, she tried to help them whenever she could and the BC Pen had its fair share of Aboriginal inmates [see Appendix 13 cited below]. In fact Canadian prisons have been ripe with far too many Aboriginal offenders behind their walls! As cited:
48

Prisons are an ominous fact of life for too many Aboriginal people. The Way of the Pipe explores how Aboriginal spirituality is finding its way into prisons and the role it is playing with Aboriginal inmates seeking to regain and to promote their heritages and identities. The book starts from the premise that this spirituality is not simply "religion" but is a form of therapy, know to medical anthropologists as "symbolic healing." Working from the results of hundreds of interviews with inmates in a number of prisons, Waldram traces the history of Aboriginal spirituality in and out of prison populations. Ironically, it is in prison that many come face to face with spiritual traditions such as the sweat lodge for the first time.3 As further mentioned: The Commissioner of Corrections in Canada, Ole Ingstrup, has consistently repeated that there are far too many First Nation, Inuit and Metis offenders in the Canadian correctional system. While forming only 3% of the general Canadian population, Aboriginal offenders make up 17% of the federal penitentiary inmates. The situation is even worse in some provincial institutions. While Aboriginal people are over-represented in federal corrections nationally, the numbers reach critical levels in Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta, where Aboriginal people make up more than 60% of the inmate population in some penitentiaries. In Saskatchewan, for example, Aboriginal people are incarcerated at a rate of 35 times higher than the mainstream population. What is even more alarming is that estimates forecast that this population is growing. 4 So, when some whack-jack reporter says that Mary Steinhauser was having an affair with one of her Native inmates - It was rumoured she was having an affair with Bruce thats a bloody stupid statement by this moron [see Appendix 14 cited below]. What an arse hole! As far as the author can remember, at the time of Mary Steinhausers death, her boyfriend was in hospital in a coma as far as can be remembered due a traffic accident? If this so-called reporter had done his job correctly he could have found this out himself! Instead, the jack-ass reports this shit about Mary Steinhauser - It was rumoured she was having an affair with Bruce. Add the fact that Terry Mallenby shared an office with Mary Steinhauser while he worked at BC Pen where was Mary Steinhauser supposed to have an affair with an inmate nowhere, you dumb ass reporter!
49

Appendix 12 Manitoba social workers union trying to scuttle inquiry into abused girl's death The Canadian Press, Global News : Thursday, February 09, 2012 1:18 PM http://www.globalwinnipeg.com/manitoba+social+workers+union+trying +to+scuttle+inquiry+into+abused+girls+death2/6442577211/story.html WINNIPEG - The Manitoba government does not have the authority to call a wide-ranging public inquiry into the death of a young girl who had spent most of her short life in foster care, a lawyer for social workers said Thursday. "(An inquiry) is an end-run around the will of the legislature," John Harvie told the Manitoba Court of Appeal on behalf of the Manitoba Government and General Employees Union. The union represents social workers who will come under scrutiny in an inquiry slated to start in May, more than seven years after the death of five-year-old Phoenix Sinclair. The young girl was removed from a foster home and given back to her mother, Samantha Kematch, in 2004. She suffered near-constant abuse in the family home on the Fisher River reserve and died after a final, brutal assault. Kematch and her boyfriend, Karl McKay, managed to keep the death a secret for seven months before Phoenix's body was found in a shallow grave near the reserve's dump. The two were later convicted of first-degree murder. The Manitoba government called the inquiry last year, and appointed retired judge Ted Hughes as commissioner to look at how the child welfare system failed Phoenix. Harvie said Thursday individual deaths are normally examined by provincial court inquests, as spelled out under the province's Fatality Inquiries Act. "That is what is prescribed by law," Harvie told the court. Harvie asked the court to call a hearing on the issue and to force the inquiry's commissioner to prove he has jurisdiction.
51

But government lawyer Heather Leonoff asked the court to dismiss Harvie's motion. "It is completely frivolous and ... it runs the risk of derailing something that is important in terms of the public interest," she said. A provincial court inquest would be more limited in scope, Leonoff said, because inquests normally focus strictly on the cause of death and not wide-ranging issues such as systemic problems in child welfare. Inquests also lack the power to subpoena witnesses. "All that the government is guaranteed to receive in an inquest is one paragraph," she said. "(An inquiry) allows the legislature to tailor-make the questions that it wants answered." Justice Martin Freedman reserved his decision, and indicated it will be delivered before the end of next week. The social workers' union is fighting the inquiry on another front as well. It has filed a motion requesting reporters be banned from identifying any workers who may testify. That application has not been heard yet.

Appendix 14 Recalling killer Andy Bruce by Contributed - Story: 57703 Oct 24, 2010 / 5:00 am http://www.castanet.net/news/Needlepoint-Class-Chuck-Poulsen/57703/Recallingkiller-Andy-Bruce In the mid 1970s, Andy Bruce was the most dangerous killer in B.C. Bruce was in the news last week because he was pulled out of his halfway house and sent back to jail. The parole board wont say what he did to violate the terms of his parole. This is because, heaven help us, the board wants to protect Bruces privacy. Andy Bruce was originally given a life sentence for shooting to death a North Vancouver dancer who owed money for drugs. A contract killing, he shot her with a .22 in front of her three-year-old daughter. He went to the B.C. Pen, Canadas answer to Alcatraz. The Pen was built in 1878. I was in there once as a reporter for The Province newspaper during one of two hostage-takings in the 70s. The dcor was strictly iron bars, steel doors and institutional green walls. The Pen rose as a dark grey castle above the Fraser River in New Westminster. With the coastal weather, it was often eerily shrouded in rain and fog, the last stop on earth for many of B.C.s most dangerous. Today, the property is a residential development, except for the gate house, which was renovated into a bar/restaurant. A cemetery still exists near the Pen. The cons called it boot hill and the only markers on the graves are the prison numbers of the inmates - unwanted in life and death by society and family. On June 11, 1975 convicts Dwight Lucas, Claire Wilson and Bruce took 15 hostages, including Mary Steinhauser, a 32-year-old old social worker. It was rumoured she was having an affair with Bruce. An armed squad ended the 41-hour hostage-taking. Steinhauser was killed in the exchange, a bullet to the heart. Bruce was shot twice, once in the head, but survived.

54

I covered the trial for the cons as a reporter. It was held in the old, creaky New West courthouse, every bit as dismal a building as the Pen itself. The cons came into the courtroom each day doing the con walk. Being handcuffed and shackled, they shuffled into the room, taking their sweet time as an insult to the judge and his court. It was a chilling scene but tame compared with what my fellow reporter and longtime friend Don Hunter would experience. Hunter had taught a young Wilson in Campbell River. It was Hunters first job after coming to Canada from England. During the first hostage-taking, Hunter wrote a story for The Province saying Wilson wasnt a threat as a Grade 7 student. Less than a year later, Bruce, Lucas and Dwight Lowe took two more guards hostage. Bruce liked Hunters earlier story on Wilson and decided they would provide an interview to Hunter about their grievances. After it was printed, they agreed to give up. Ill let Hunter pick it up: Bruce demanded that I and a photographer be allowed to go in and record their complaints (feces and glass in their food, allegedly), with the deal being that when they saw the story, they would let the guards go. "Colin Price, the late Province photographer, and I were escorted in by Dragan Cernetic, the warden. Deal was: no cops, no guns - just me and Colin. "The three cons were doped up from the pharmacy they had liberated. Bruce had a long, ugly shank which he kept slapping into his palm as he made his points and I tried to make notes. "Beside me, I didn't know whether the clicking sounds were Colin's camera shutter or his teeth. Finally, I said: 'Andy, you're making me really nervous with that thing. He looked down at the knife, and said, Oh, sh++, sorry. And we carried on the interview. Colin rushed off with the film while I filed my story. The story ran and th e guards were released. It was the most dramatic one-day story of my career. At that time, the Sun and Province were in the Pacific Press building. There was a short hallway between the two newsrooms.
55

Hunter. The Sun, still then an afternoon paper, had nothing. Charlie Warner, the Sun photo boss, came through to our newsroom after we all left and stole Colin's prints from the photo desk basket. The Sun ran them in its next edition like they were their own. Hunter has long since retired from The Province. He has written several books and a TV miniseries. If you want a guaranteed good read, try his latest book: Incident at Willow Creek.

Dedication to Mary Steinhauser on the walls of BC Pen Three prisoners who were about to be returned to solitary confinement at BC Pen took 15 hostages, the standoff with prison officials lasted 41 hours and ended with the emergency response team storming the hostage takers.

Chapter 8 Everyone tried to pass Mary Steinhausers death off as an accident? Everywhere one looked, Mary Steinhausers death was referred to as an accident: On June 9, 1975 three prisoners at the BC Penitentiary who were about to be returned to solitary confinement took 15 hostages. The standoff with prison officials would last 41 hours and end June 11 with an emergency response team storming the hostage takers. During the raid one of the guards accidentally shot and killed one of the hostages, classification officer Mary Steinhauser, 32.1 Terry Mallenby heard about Mary Steinhausers death on the radio when he was driving to his job at Mountain Prison. What a shock! They even made a movie about the tragedy: Christian Bruyre wrote a 1978 play, Walls, based on the incident. It was made into a movie in 1984.2 The current author believes it was produced by: Mystique Films3 4411 Stone Crescent West Vancouver, B.C.

However, the more he watched the movie, he kept thinking to himself that it all looked too familiar? You can imagine Terry Mallenbys shock when he realized that it was about the killing of Mary Steinhauser and his old Classification department at the BC Pen [see Appendix 16 cited below]. In fact, Terry Mallenby has been saying that guards at the old B.C. Pen purposefully shot and killed Mary Steinhauser since her death in 1975?
58

And, 35 years later it appears there may be some truth to this supposition? And, what did the Government of Canada apparently do they tried to cover this fact up with a sham investigation? Mary Steinhauser was his friend, and she deserved better from her employer the Canada government, run by accused war criminal Stephen Harper! Footnotes 1.

Mary Steinhauser, is a social worker who nearly succeeded in turning Canadas most notorious federal prison into a progressive institution. When she brought women in to have group sessions with violent inmates, the prison guards stopped her programs. In protest, three lifers took Steinhauser and others hostage. Near the end of the 36-hour ordeal, she persuaded the inmates to give up their unrealistic demands and surrender. But before they could do so, a veteran guard led the attack to storm the room. He killed Steinhauser and her hopes of changing the prison.

Appendix 16 B.C. Penitentiary (1975) (Bc Penitentiary) http://forums.canadiancontent.net/british-columbia/42325-b-c-penitentiary-1975a.html Bc Penitentiary, Dec 31st, 2005 June 9 Three prisoners at the BC Penitentiary who were about to be returned to solitary confinement took 15 hostages. The standoff with prison officials would last 41 hours and end June 11 with an emergency response team storming the hostage takers. During the raid one of the guards accidentally shot and killed one of the hostages, classification officer Mary Steinhauser, 32. Ironically she had been working at implementing courses for prisoners in solitary. Christian Bruyre wrote a 1978 play, Walls, based on the incident. It was made into a movie in 1984. Now June 9th, 1975 holds significance with my family because my father, was also a peace officer/classifications officer at the prison in 1975 and was actually Steinhauser's 'partner' if you could say, they worked together on many incidents. About a month before the incident took place, a prisoner warned my father to transfer out of the prison because something was planned. He warned the warden and others but they did not listen so he did transfer out a few weeks before the incident. If he had stayed, he believes because he is a 'tough cookie' as he says, that he would have been killed or wounded in place of Mary Steinhauser if he had remained in the prison. So that is why the day is important to us. Well a peace officer had been killed. But that still does not excuse the fact of what the prison officials did. At least my father had transfered to another prison after no one listened to him. Now, I think personally, if it hadn't been for that prisoner who had warned my father, he wouldn't be here today and I wouldn't be here today. Yeah, my dad doesn't like to talk about it too much, but after prying it out of him he is okay with talking about it know. I just wonder what would have happened if my dad had stayed. Going to hopefully find the movie.

Chapter 9 Mary Steinhauser was murdered? In fact, Terry Mallenby has been saying that guards at the old B.C. Pen purposefully shot and killed Mary Steinhauser since her death in 1975? And, 35 years later it appears there may be some truth to this supposition? And, what did the Government of Canada apparently do they tried to cover this fact up with a sham investigation? Lets have a look at the story in detail [see Appendix 17 cited below]. The first reference was there was no love lost between the prison social workers, of whom she was one, and the guards who shot her during a hostage-taking.1 The author isnt sure, but one experience Terry Mallenby had at the BC Pen gives him pause. Shortly after starting work as a Classification Officer at BC Pen, he had to go into the prison proper for some reason maybe to supervise an inmate group or the like cant remember. However, he had to go through one of the corridors in the bowel of the prison, much like the one cited in Appendix 18 appearing below. One guard opened the door to enter this hall way and half way down it as he turned the corner there was a whole heard of inmates coming the other way toward him there was nothing he could do but go through them? As most inmates carry shanks for their protection, and as the guards didnt seem to appreciate Classification Officers, he often wondered if the guards had purposefully had him go through the tunnel when they would have known full well that a bunch of inmates were coming the other way? The most shocking revelation was the second statement now a former paramedic who was at the scene says she was shot on purpose.2 More shocking statements included:

The new investigation comes after a former ambulance paramedic made a statement to police last month saying he overheard a guard say, "Kill her, kill her," before the rescue attempt.3 In an exclusive interview with the Sunday Province, High said he is convinced that at least one guard intended to shoot Steinhauser. "There's no question in my mind that Mary Steinhauser was purposefully shot," he said.4 High's partner was on a mobile telephone requesting backup as High and the guards left the trailer for the hostages' vault. "There is no question in my mind, I heard somebody saying, 'Kill her, kill her.5 Just as Terry Mallenby thought, the bastards purposefully killed Mary Steinhauser!

Now a former paramedic who was at the scene says she was shot on purpose New Westminster police have launched an investigation into the death of Mary Steinhauser, shot by prison guards in the old B.C. Penitentiary in 1975. Steinhauser, 32, a classification officer, was one of 15 people taken hostage by three inmates. She was killed by a bullet to her heart during rescue efforts after a tense, 41-hour standoff. Another bullet hit her left shoulder. The new investigation comes after a former ambulance paramedic made a statement to police last month saying he overheard a guard say, "Kill her, kill her," before the rescue attempt. New Westminster police Staff-Sgt. Casey Dehaas confirmed that the paramedic, George High, had given a videotaped statement. In an exclusive interview with the Sunday Province, High said he is convinced that at least one guard intended to shoot Steinhauser. "There's no question in my mind that Mary Steinhauser was purposefully shot," he said. High had volunteered to relieve paramedics who were on duty at the pen after three inmates -- Andy Bruce, 26, Dwight Lucas, 20, and Claire Wilson, 26 -- took the hostages at knifepoint on June 9. The three men were lifers and had spent considerable time in solitary confinement but had been released back into the general prison population. They demanded drugs, especially the painkiller Demerol, and a helicopter to fly them to freedom. All hostages except Steinhauser were kept in a windowless vault measuring 3 1/2 metres by five metres. The vault faced on to a larger room with Dutch doors that led to a hallway. Steinhauser was kept outside the vault in the larger room by one prisoner armed with a knife. High recalls that he was in a nearby trailer with one other paramedic and a number of tense guards when a man in civilian clothes burst in yelling, "It's going down! Go! Go! Go!" High's partner was on a mobile telephone requesting backup as High and the guards left the trailer for the hostages' vault. "There is no question in my mind, I heard somebody saying, 'Kill her, kill her.' It was said very loudly and very

distinctly," High said, adding that the other paramedic could not hear the words because he was on the phone, almost out the door. As High entered the room, "there was a melee going on, people fighting and shouting." High, lying on his stomach, helped another man drag a wounded woman into the hallway. The injured woman was Mary Steinhauser. She was not breathing. She did not have a pulse. High accompanied her to hospital, where he began emergency treatment until an intern arrived, although "everybody knew it was a lost cause." Steinhauser was pronounced dead. Bruce survived the shooting and went on to another hostage-taking the next year. He is still in prison. Within weeks of the events, B.C.'s then-chief justice John Farris was named chairman of a three-man commission to investigate the incident. None of the paramedics was called to testify. The commission heard that Bruce seemingly had the run of the pen, making 23 visits in less than a month to the classification offices. The visits lasted between 15 to 20 minutes and sometimes ran to three hours. Mostly, they were to Steinhauser's office. The commission found the amount of time Bruce spent with Steinhauser was "unreasonable and appropriate action should have been taken." And it found she had frequently left pass forms on her desk that were easily accessible to the inmates and would allow them to roam freely in the prison. During the hearing, Dragan Cernetic, the B.C. Pen's director, called Steinhauser a humanitarian. "She implicitly trusted her clients," he said. "If she had any doubts, she tried to resolve them by discussing them with other inmates." The commission found that correctional officers were poorly trained, mostly owing to a turnover rate of 61 per cent. Training for classification officers was worse. Correctional officers policed the prison. Classification officers were like social workers. Relations between the groups were terrible. "With some exceptions, there is little or no communication between the two groups. In some cases, there is marked hostility between them," the commission wrote. During the hearing, the guards, who had not been trained in riot control or hostage-takings, testified in-camera to protect their identity from criminals. All testimony on the exact manner of Steinhauser's death was also heard behind closed doors. One guard thought he had fired the shots that hit Bruce, but none admitted to shooting Steinhauser. The event came to its head when the hostages attempted a "breakout." The commission wrote of the "reign of terror in the vault" and said the hostages "had every reason to think that they were, indeed, on 'death row.' They had had practically no sleep. They had been forced to take drugs One can only have the deepest sympathy for them." In the 41st hour, after midnight, the hostages feared at least one of them would be killed by the morning. They waited until their captors were asleep, then attacked Lucas, hitting him over the head. Instead of falling, he yelled, and chaos exploded. Lucas was waving a knife in the air and yelling obscenities. Bruce grabbed

Steinhauser and raised his knife over her. The hostages managed to overpower Wilson and pulled him back into the vault. Bruce and Lucas were outside in the larger room with Steinhauser. The guards, who were taking a much needed break, came running. Bruce was standing behind Steinhauser, an arm around her waist and holding a knife over her, shouting "I'll kill her!" Steinhauser was slumping, her head bowed, as if she was passed out. "Bruce's head was exposed and the officer shot, and at the same time, the other officer shot," the commission wrote. "Bruce was struck in the jaw and, as he turned and was falling, he exposed part of his back. and both officers fired again." Both then shot at Lucas, 4.5 metres away, but the shots missed. Another officer who had run to a window spotted Bruce on the floor and fired. It's not clear if that shot hit home. Eight shots were fired, one accidentally. The commission could not determine who shot Steinhauser. The inquiry found that Albert Hollinger, a senior penitentiary supervisor, intentionally mixed up the guns following the raid. The guns, all revolvers, were removed from the room and cleaned, making it impossible to say which guard fired the shots that hit Steinhauser and Bruce. Some of the spent cartridges went missing for a week, the commission heard. An expert testified that the same gun was "likely" used in shooting both victims. High, who admits he spent little time with the guards, said it was widely known that they disliked social workers generally, and Steinhauser specifically. Other paramedics who were in close contact with the guards for several days backed High's contention that the guards disliked social workers. "The guards felt that the prison classification staff were sympathetic to the inmates," said 30-year veteran paramedic Bruce Brink, who spent a number of shifts in the trailer. High relieved Ted Raynor that fateful day just before the shooting started at about 1 a.m. "The guards felt that the social workers and Mary Steinhauser were part of the problem and not part of the solution," Raynor said, adding that he found High's contention that Steinhauser was intentionally shot "a little surprising, but not that surprising." Brink, while not certain, believes Steinhauser's death could have been accidental. "There's no question that the guard that fired these shots would have been able to make the distinction between Andy Bruce and Mary Steinhauser," he said. But Brink speculated that Bruce held Steinhauser as a shield, adding it's possible that bad luck and not bad intention was to blame. "My betting is that she was in the way," said Brink. "To be fair to the guards, remember, they were panicked, they were fearful." High does not believe that the man who said "Kill her" was the one who fired the fatal shot. But he believes the man's words reflected the feeling the guards had toward Steinhauser. Andy Reekie, a B.C. spokesman for the new Union of Canadian Correctional Officers, said the Steinhauser case had a heavy impact on many of those involved.
65

"There are people who are suffering through post-traumatic stress disorder" over the hostage taking and subsequent shooting, said Reekie. He said none of the guards involved would likely talk because they were prohibited from doing so and because they worried about being targeted by inmates who might one day be released. "Our evil people come back to haunt us sometimes," he said. Reekie said there is no conflict between modern-day guards and classification officers, now known as parole officers institutional. The two groups operated under a single union until March 2001, when the guards broke off and started their own, independent, union. The former classification officers were not asked to join. Told of High's charges, prison officials said they would await a police investigation before acting. "We have no plans at this point to reopen any investigation, but if the police decide to look into the matter we will co-operate fully with them," said Dennis Finlay, a spokesman for the Correctional Service of Canada. So why did High wait so long before revealing his suspicions? At first, he explained, he expected to be called to the inquiry, but wasn't. Then he was reluctant to speak out publicly because, as a government employee, he was effectively gagged. "I've had to hold my tongue all these years," he said. High was diagnosed with accumulative posttraumatic distress disorder in 1998, and he believes Steinhauser's death contributed to his condition, which left him unable to work. Now that he's on full pension, he feels he can speak. "I just felt like I had to tell somebody," he said. "I had to get this off my chest."

Now a former paramedic who was at the scene says she was shot on purpose New Westminster police have launched an investigation into the death of Mary Steinhauser, shot by prison guards in the old B.C. Penitentiary in 1975. Steinhauser, 32, a classification officer, was one of 15 people taken hostage by three inmates. She was killed by a bullet to her heart during rescue efforts after a tense, 41-hour standoff. Another bullet hit her left shoulder. The new investigation comes after a former ambulance paramedic made a statement to police last month saying he overheard a guard say, "Kill her, kill her," before the rescue attempt. New Westminster police Staff-Sgt. Casey Dehaas confirmed that the paramedic, George High, had given a videotaped statement. In an exclusive interview with the Sunday Province, High said he is convinced that at least one guard intended to shoot Steinhauser. "There's no question in my mind that Mary Steinhauser was purposefully shot," he said. High had volunteered to relieve paramedics who were on duty at the pen after three inmates -- Andy Bruce, 26, Dwight Lucas, 20, and Claire Wilson, 26 -- took the hostages at knifepoint on June 9. The three men were lifers and had spent considerable time in solitary confinement but had been released back into the general prison population. They demanded drugs, especially the painkiller Demerol, and a helicopter to fly them to freedom. All hostages except Steinhauser were kept in a windowless vault measuring 3 1/2 metres by five metres. The vault faced on to a larger room with Dutch doors that led to a hallway. Steinhauser was kept outside the vault in the larger room by one prisoner armed with a knife. High recalls that he was in a nearby trailer with one other paramedic and a number of tense guards when a man in civilian clothes burst in yelling, "It's going down! Go! Go! Go!"

"There's no question in my mind that Mary Steinhauser was purposefully shot," he said. 2 The first cover-up, no paramedics called to testify: Within weeks of the events, B.C.'s then-chief justice John Farris was named chairman of a three-man commission to investigate the incident.3 None of the paramedics was called to testify.4 And that is after this paramedic gave a video statement to police: New Westminster police Staff-Sgt. Casey Dehaas confirmed that the paramedic, George High, had given a videotaped statement.5 Cover-up! The investigation into Mary Steinhausers death was nothing but a sham! The apparent culprit British Columbia chief justice John Farris: Within weeks of the events, British Columbia's, chief justice John Farris was named chairman of a three-man commission to investigate the incident.6 The commission could not determine who shot Steinhauser.7 Maybe chief justice John Farris didnt look close enough?

The inquiry found that Albert Hollinger, a senior penitentiary supervisor, intentionally mixed up the guns following the raid.8 The author was aware of this in 1975 that the guns had mixed up, and quite openly stated that this was done on purpose so the one who [purposely] shot Mary Steinhauser could not be identified! Everyone knew that what was wrong with that idiot chief justice John Farris? The guns, all revolvers, were removed from the room and cleaned, making it impossible to say which guard fired the shots that hit Steinhauser and Bruce.9 Some of the spent cartridges went missing for a week, the commission heard.10 High does not believe that the man who said "Kill her" was the one who fired the fatal shot. But he believes the man's words reflected the feeling the guards had toward Steinhauser.11 With countless other examples of Canadian government cover-ups, the author doent put much faith in this kind of statement: Told of High's charges, prison officials said they would await a police investigation before acting. "We have no plans at this point to reopen any investigation, but if the police decide to look into the matter we will co-operate fully with them," said Dennis Finlay, a spokesman for the Correctional Service of Canada.12 Post-traumatic stress is a consequence: So why did High wait so long before revealing his suspicions? At first, he explained, he expected to be called to the inquiry, but wasn't. Then he was reluctant to speak out publicly because, as a government employee, he was effectively gagged. "I've had to hold my tongue all these years," he said. High was diagnosed with accumulative posttraumatic distress disorder in 1998, and he believes Steinhauser's death contributed to his condition, which left him unable to work. Now that he's on full pension, he feels he can speak. "I just felt like I had to tell somebody," he said. "I had to get this off my chest."13

The Province Union of Canadian Correctional Officers - Syndicat des Agents Correctionnels du Canada - Confdration des Syndicats Nationaux Regional Office CSN UCCO-SACC-CSN 33711 Suite 101 Laurel Street Abbotsford, BC V2S 1X3 http://www.uccosacc.csn.qc.ca/ScriptorWeb/scripto.asp?resultat=773476P&lastPage=523953 There was no love lost between the prison social workers, of whom she was one, and the guards who shot her during a hostage-taking. Now a former paramedic who was at the scene says she was shot on purpose New Westminster police have launched an investigation into the death of Mary Steinhauser, shot by prison guards in the old B.C. Penitentiary in 1975. Steinhauser, 32, a classification officer, was one of 15 people taken hostage by three inmates. She was killed by a bullet to her heart during rescue efforts after a tense, 41-hour standoff. Another bullet hit her left shoulder. The new investigation comes after a former ambulance paramedic made a statement to police last month saying he overheard a guard say, "Kill her, kill her," before the rescue attempt. New Westminster police Staff-Sgt. Casey Dehaas confirmed that the paramedic, George High, had given a videotaped statement. In an exclusive interview with the Sunday Province, High said he is convinced that at least one guard intended to shoot Steinhauser. "There's no question in my mind that Mary Steinhauser was purposefully shot," he said. High had volunteered to relieve paramedics who were on duty at the pen after three inmates -- Andy Bruce, 26, Dwight Lucas, 20, and Claire Wilson, 26 -- took the hostages at knifepoint on June 9. The three men were lifers and had spent considerable time in solitary confinement but had been released back into the general prison population. They demanded drugs, especially the painkiller Demerol, and a helicopter to fly them to freedom. All hostages except Steinhauser were kept in a windowless vault measuring 3 1/2 metres by five metres. The vault faced on to a larger room with Dutch doors that led to a hallway. Steinhauser was kept outside the vault in the larger room by one prisoner armed with a knife. High recalls that he was in a nearby trailer with one other paramedic and a number of tense guards when a man in civilian clothes burst in yelling, "It's going down! Go! Go! Go!" High's partner was on a mobile telephone requesting backup as High and the guards left the trailer for the hostages' vault. "There is no question in my mind, I heard somebody saying, 'Kill her, kill her.' It was said very loudly and very
83

distinctly," High said, adding that the other paramedic could not hear the words because he was on the phone, almost out the door. As High entered the room, "there was a melee going on, people fighting and shouting." High, lying on his stomach, helped another man drag a wounded woman into the hallway. The injured woman was Mary Steinhauser. She was not breathing. She did not have a pulse. High accompanied her to hospital, where he began emergency treatment until an intern arrived, although "everybody knew it was a lost cause." Steinhauser was pronounced dead. Bruce survived the shooting and went on to another hostage-taking the next year. He is still in prison. Within weeks of the events, B.C.'s then-chief justice John Farris was named chairman of a three-man commission to investigate the incident. None of the paramedics was called to testify. The commission heard that Bruce seemingly had the run of the pen, making 23 visits in less than a month to the classification offices. The visits lasted between 15 to 20 minutes and sometimes ran to three hours. Mostly, they were to Steinhauser's office. The commission found the amount of time Bruce spent with Steinhauser was "unreasonable and appropriate action should have been taken." And it found she had frequently left pass forms on her desk that were easily accessible to the inmates and would allow them to roam freely in the prison. During the hearing, Dragan Cernetic, the B.C. Pen's director, called Steinhauser a humanitarian. "She implicitly trusted her clients," he said. "If she had any doubts, she tried to resolve them by discussing them with other inmates." The commission found that correctional officers were poorly trained, mostly owing to a turnover rate of 61 per cent. Training for classification officers was worse. Correctional officers policed the prison. Classification officers were like social workers. Relations between the groups were terrible. "With some exceptions, there is little or no communication between the two groups. In some cases, there is marked hostility between them," the commission wrote. During the hearing, the guards, who had not been trained in riot control or hostage-takings, testified in-camera to protect their identity from criminals. All testimony on the exact manner of Steinhauser's death was also heard behind closed doors. One guard thought he had fired the shots that hit Bruce, but none admitted to shooting Steinhauser. The event came to its head when the hostages attempted a "breakout." The commission wrote of the "reign of terror in the vault" and said the hostages "had every reason to think that they were, indeed, on 'death row.' They had had practically no sleep. They had been forced to take drugs One can only have the deepest sympathy for them." In the 41st hour, after midnight, the hostages feared at least one of them would be killed by the morning. They waited until their captors were asleep, then attacked Lucas, hitting him over the head. Instead of falling, he yelled, and chaos exploded. Lucas was waving a knife in the air and yelling obscenities. Bruce grabbed
84

Steinhauser and raised his knife over her. The hostages managed to overpower Wilson and pulled him back into the vault. Bruce and Lucas were outside in the larger room with Steinhauser. The guards, who were taking a much needed break, came running. Bruce was standing behind Steinhauser, an arm around her waist and holding a knife over her, shouting "I'll kill her!" Steinhauser was slumping, her head bowed, as if she was passed out. "Bruce's head was exposed and the officer shot, and at the same time, the other officer shot," the commission wrote. "Bruce was struck in the jaw and, as he turned and was falling, he exposed part of his back. and both officers fired again." Both then shot at Lucas, 4.5 metres away, but the shots missed. Another officer who had run to a window spotted Bruce on the floor and fired. It's not clear if that shot hit home. Eight shots were fired, one accidentally. The commission could not determine who shot Steinhauser. The inquiry found that Albert Hollinger, a senior penitentiary supervisor, intentionally mixed up the guns following the raid. The guns, all revolvers, were removed from the room and cleaned, making it impossible to say which guard fired the shots that hit Steinhauser and Bruce. Some of the spent cartridges went missing for a week, the commission heard. An expert testified that the same gun was "likely" used in shooting both victims. High, who admits he spent little time with the guards, said it was widely known that they disliked social workers generally, and Steinhauser specifically. Other paramedics who were in close contact with the guards for several days backed High's contention that the guards disliked social workers. "The guards felt that the prison classification staff were sympathetic to the inmates," said 30-year veteran paramedic Bruce Brink, who spent a number of shifts in the trailer. High relieved Ted Raynor that fateful day just before the shooting started at about 1 a.m. "The guards felt that the social workers and Mary Steinhauser were part of the problem and not part of the solution," Raynor said, adding that he found High's contention that Steinhauser was intentionally shot "a little surprising, but not that surprising." Brink, while not certain, believes Steinhauser's death could have been accidental. "There's no question that the guard that fired these shots would have been able to make the distinction between Andy Bruce and Mary Steinhauser," he said. But Brink speculated that Bruce held Steinhauser as a shield, adding it's possible that bad luck and not bad intention was to blame. "My betting is that she was in the way," said Brink. "To be fair to the guards, remember, they were panicked, they were fearful." High does not believe that the man who said "Kill her" was the one who fired the fatal shot. But he believes the man's words reflected the feeling the guards had toward Steinhauser. Andy Reekie, a B.C. spokesman for the new Union of Canadian Correctional Officers, said the Steinhauser case had a heavy impact on many of those involved.
85

"There are people who are suffering through post-traumatic stress disorder" over the hostage taking and subsequent shooting, said Reekie. He said none of the guards involved would likely talk because they were prohibited from doing so and because they worried about being targeted by inmates who might one day be released. "Our evil people come back to haunt us sometimes," he said. Reekie said there is no conflict between modern-day guards and classification officers, now known as parole officers institutional. The two groups operated under a single union until March 2001, when the guards broke off and started their own, independent, union. The former classification officers were not asked to join. Told of High's charges, prison officials said they would await a police investigation before acting. "We have no plans at this point to reopen any investigation, but if the police decide to look into the matter we will co-operate fully with them," said Dennis Finlay, a spokesman for the Correctional Service of Canada. So why did High wait so long before revealing his suspicions? At first, he explained, he expected to be called to the inquiry, but wasn't. Then he was reluctant to speak out publicly because, as a government employee, he was effectively gagged. "I've had to hold my tongue all these years," he said. High was diagnosed with accumulative posttraumatic distress disorder in 1998, and he believes Steinhauser's death contributed to his condition, which left him unable to work. Now that he's on full pension, he feels he can speak. "I just felt like I had to tell somebody," he said. "I had to get this off my chest."

They didnt listen to the Whistleblower; instead they fabricated some cock-and-bull excuse and got rid of him, just like all the government ministers and managers cited in this book and elsewhere.4 And what did that sleaze-ball Social Services Minister Kay Young do; she even violated the violation of the Freedom of Information Act and the Privacy Act to make sure this whistleblowers was good-and-gone!

Vol. XLII No. 62 http://www.assembly.nl.ca/business/hansard/ga42session2/94-11-16.htm MR. FITZGERALD: Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is to the Minister of Social Services. I want to ask the Minister of Social Services why she released information on the employment history of a Mr. xx, the former operations manager at the Newfoundland and Labrador Youth Centre, in clear violation of the Freedom of Information Act and in violation I believe of the Privacy Act? MR. FITZGERALD: Mr. Speaker, not only did the minister violate the Freedom of Information and Privacy Act but she also gave false information, Mr. Speaker, about Mr. xx's employment history. The minister said that Mr. xx had been fired for reasons related to job performance. The official record of employment the department gave to Mr. xx and to Employment Canada says he was dismissed for breach of trust and loss of confidence. Now I ask the minister, did the minister know, Mr. Speaker, that she was giving false information in her press release? Will she now admit Mr. xx was fired because he blew the whistle and disclosed the information as to what was actually happening out at the Newfoundland and Labrador Youth Centre? Now comes that sleaze-ball Newfoundland Premier Clyde Wells: November 17, 1994 HOUSE OF ASSEMBLY PROCEEDINGS Vol. XLII No. 63 http://www.assembly.nl.ca/business/hansard/ga42session2/94-11-17.htm MR. W. MATTHEWS: Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. I have a question for the Premier, following up on the line of questioning by the member for Bonavista South yesterday dealing with the Minister of Social Services Kay Young. Now, on November 8, 1994 the Minister of Social Services Kay Young issued a public statement, a written press release, where she referred to the dismissal of one Mr. xx at the Newfoundland and Labrador Youth Center at Whitbourne. In that she talked about the reasons for dismissal, job performance and work history. I want to ask the Premier, in light of the minister's public statement that is clearly a violation of the Freedom of Information Act and the Privacy Act, but particularly the Freedom Information Act, section 10 (1) (b): Does the Premier consider this conduct and behavior of the Minister of Social Services Kay Young to be acceptable?
102

MR. W. MATTHEWS: - and in that written, deliberate statement pertaining to the situation, she said: Mr. xx was dismissed for work related problems, job performance. Now the record of employment belonging to Mr. xx states that he was dismissed for breach of trust and loss of confidence, so in essence, the minister in her statement, issued a false statement. The reason was inaccurate and incorrect, so I want to ask the Premier: does he feel that the conduct of the Minister of Social Services Kay Young, in issuing a false, public statement is behaviour and conduct acceptable for a minister of his Administration or, is he going to allow the standards and behaviour and conduct of the ministers to sink to an all-time low in this Province, where, individual privacy will no longer be protected? What happened a year later, due to the lax security, one of the youth committed suicide and a stink was raised about Newfoundland Premier Clyde Wells and Newfoundland Social Services Minister Kay Young ignoring these Whistleblower warnings!

Chapter 14 Royal Canadian Mounted Police Commissioner Robert Paulson and accused war criminal Stephen Harper upload 40 year old RCMP lies about Terry Mallenby! What is the definition of defamatory libel in Canada? As cited in: YourLaws.ca Criminal Code of Canada 298. Definition 298. (1) A defamatory libel is matter published, without lawful justification or excuse, that is likely to injure the reputation of any person by exposing him to hatred, contempt or ridicule, or that is designed to insult the person of or concerning whom it is published. As we will show, the Royal Canadian Police, the Prime Minister of Canada, and this RCMP rat Sanfu Chen and others are all getting away with defamatory libel against Terry Mallenby!!! Lets look at the facts: Why would an Alberta University graduate travel all the way to Squamish to upload these 40 year old RCMP lies? Ah, doesnt the accused war criminal Prime Minister Stephen Harper come from Alberta: Stephen Harper was born in Toronto, Ontario in 1959, and grew up in the suburbs of Leaside and Etobicoke. Following graduation from high school, he moved to Alberta to work briefly in the oil industry, and then entered post-secondary studies. What kind of graduates does Alberta have? Darby Love and Sanfu Chen both happen to be graduates of the library studies program at the University of Alberta. Why would a University of Alberta graduate travel all the way to Squamish British Columbia, Canada? A distance of 1,223 km around 1,000 miles? Why would a University of Alberta graduate travel all the way to Squamish British Columbia, Canada to upload one article from a non-existent newspaper to the internet?
107

The company that owned the paper doesn't exist anymore so while the library has verbal permission to use the archives of the Squamish Times there is no formal document making it clear so an application is in front of the copyright board seeking formal acknowledgement that the library can publish the newspaper archive online, says Sanfu Chen.

THEN ONE MUST LOOK AT THIS STATEMENT: The safest course is to get permission from the copyright owner before using copyrighted material. The Copyright Office cannot give this permission.
In other words the comment by Sanfu Chen that an application is in front of the copyright board seeking formal acknowledgement that the library can publish the newspaper archive online is a complete lie by RCMP Commissioner Robert Paulson, and accused war criminal Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper and their rat Sanfu Chen!! What was Sanfu Chens purpose? Apparently - Squamish, British Columbia, Canada is the home of Liars! These people published their 40 year old lies anyway at the insistence of accused war criminal Prime Minister Stephen Harper and RCMP Commissioner Bob Paulson!! Squamish Public Librarian Sanfu Chen & Darby Love! With the help of the Squamish Chief newspaper Laila Michell, David Burke, Rebecca Aldous?

Was Rebecca Aldous behind this charade? After all she is part of the Editorial staff, responsible for publishing the false unwilling witness story?

SQUAMISH # 3 Re: Jodi Henrickson~17~missing~Bowen Island/Squamish~June 20,2009 Reply #61 on: May 23, 2012, 11:55:54 AM Body found on Bowen Island By Jane Seyd, North Shore News May 23, 2012 6:34 AM POLICE investigating the discovery of a body in a bushy area of Bowen Island say the remains are likely not those of missing Squamish teen Jodi Henrickson. "We don't feel it's connected to that case," said Sgt. Jennifer Pound, spokeswoman for the RCMP's Integrated Homicide Investigation Team. Pound said investigators ruled out that the body was Henrickson early on, although she declined to say how police did that. Bowen Island RCMP were called out Friday at around 2 p.m. by a local resident who had discovered the body on his land, a wooded property in the 1,000 block of Harding Road. An autopsy is to be performed Tuesday to try to identify the victim and the likely cause of death. Suicide remains a possibility, as does the chance that the body was dumped there. "There are no obvious signs of injury," said Pound. So far investigators have not confirmed whether the body - which was badly decomposed - is male or female. "We believe the body was there for quite some time," said Pound. Lloyd Harding, who lives on Harding Road, said he was walking down to his mailbox with his son's dog at the end of last week when the Jack Russell terrier tried to drag him into the bush.
111

Harding said he noticed a bad smell in the area. "I thought someone had hit a deer he said." Harding said he's walked right by the area where the body was found before but didn't see anything or notice any smell in the area before last week's spell of hot weather. Police are currently checking missing persons reports to see if they can help identify the remains. Henrickson, then 17, disappeared three years ago on June 20, 2009 after leaving a house party on Bowen Island with her ex-boyfriend Gavin Arnott. Neither Henrickson nor any signs of her have shown up since then, despite several searches by both police and volunteers. Police have repeatedly said they think Henrickson met with foul play and never left the island. Harding said the quiet community is "shocked and very concerned" by Friday's discovery. jseyd@nsnews.com http://www.nsnews.com/news/Body+found+Bowen+Island/6663655/story.html Unsolved Murders | Missing People Canada http://www.unsolvedcanada.ca/index.php?topic=2890.60

SQUAMISH # 5 Re: 1950 - 1969 Unsolved Murders and Missing - Canada Reply #45 on: April 11, 2010, 06:18:24 PM Furry Creek, BC Okay, I am going to post some more of my findings, unfortunately, not much to find. I will post the info over a few posts. This first lot is not in the date sequence as originally listed. I may have found a common thread in these ones. Although they are listed as Squamish/Vancouver cases, when I looked at the death registration information on Ancestry.ca I found all of their locations of death were within 18km of a place called Furry Creek, BC. I have included one that was listed as Squamish as it seems to be in the same area. I am not sure if these young ladies actually died/were found near Furry Creek or if they were perhaps, from there, and therefore, their deaths were listed for that location. I have to break this one into two posts as the computer is fussing 1. 12 April 73 Helen Hopcroft, age 17, Vancouver Her death was registered as 13 May 73, Furry Creek, BC There was an obituary for her in the Winnipeg Free Press 7 June 73 2. 17 Feb 75 Gayle Rogers, Vancouver, BC If it is the same young lady, found "Gail Sandra Rogers" Date of registered death, 7 Mar 75, she was born in 1949 so she was 26, her death is registered as "Squamish, BC" Unsolved Murders | Missing People Canada http://www.unsolvedcanada.ca/index.php?topic=416.45

SQUAMISH # 7 Sunday afternoon a group of hikers found a dead body near a hiking trail on the side of Mamquam Road in Squamish. "It appears the man was met with foul play," said spokeswoman Sgt. Jennifer Pound. "It does appear to be a homicide." Pound also refused to comment on media reports that the man's body was found beaten and duct-taped. Kim Bolan has reported the identity of the body is that of William Woo from Surrey who was an associate of the East Vancouver hells angels but more recently went over to the other side. Now he's in a body bag. I wonder who the prime suspects are? If the East Vancouver chapter of the Hells angels contract a murder, that makes them a criminal organization guilty of murder. I don't know about the Duhre Daiquiris but Lotus, now there is some old school credibility right there. They are more than capable of professional payback. Beaten and duck taped. Yeah that would imply foul play. It reminds me of two other cases in Squamish. One was a guy named Alex Larsen who was run over by a truck because he was lying in the middle of the road. It's so strange and tragic. Yes it's possible he got drunk or high and passed out. Yet we've never heard a word either way. We don't know if he was beaten and dumped there or if he was walking on the side of the road and a car hit him which was why he was lying in the middle of the road before the bus ran him over. The case comes to mind and I wish there was more pieces to that puzzle. They say he had made a decision to turn his life around. Just like Britney Irving. Tragic indeed.
115

Of course there's that other bizarre case in Squamish, the murder of Javan Luke Dowling. Three drug dealers were driving in a car in Vancouver. One of the drug dealers, shot one of the other drug dealers in the head and the third drug dealer watched the shooter cut off Dowling's head and dismembered his body. The two surviving drug dealers buried the body in two separate locations in Squamish. Mihaly Illes was alleged to be the shooter while Derrick Madinski helped him bury the body. Derrick Madinski went with Joe Brallic to LA where Joe was ripped off and murdered. Meanwhile in that same original article about a new dead body being found in Squamish it later stated there was another shooting in Surrey near the corner of 111A Avenue and 146th Street at about 2: 40 a.m. on Sunday. It didn't even make it's own head line. Kinda sad. The point is violent crime is continuing and as the papers also report the court system is currently in crisis. That was before Harper's disproportionate crime bill sent the fragile system into chaos. Gangsters Out Blog http://gangstersout.blogspot.ca/2011/10/body-dumped-in-squamish.html Why didnt Rebecca Aldous and Sanfu Chen concentrate on the apparent Squamish connection with Canadas missing and murdered persons in Canada? Simply because Rebecca Aldous and Sanfu Chen are RCMP stooges not interested in solving some of the hundreds, upon hundreds of missing and unsolved murders in Canada only interested in helping the RCMP spread other crap about Terry Mallenby!! SIMPLY PAYBACK!! SOLVE SOME OF THESE MURDERS AND MISSING YOU RCMP ARSE HOLES!! PEOPLE DESERVE A LOT BETTER FROM YOU ARSE HOLES!! So who is Sanfu Chen? Here she is again:

Husband reluctant witness .at Mallenby inquest - digitalcollections.ca www.digitalcollections.ca/.../r/.../19760401_Squamish_Times.pdf Who would want this out there so fast why the RCMP thats who!! Surely accused war criminal Prime Minister Stephen Harper would want to do his fair share to help the RCMP out why not have two people from the University of Alberta pretend they are doing an internet project, and guess what the first article they put out on the internet is some bogus shit about the little guy!! With people like RCMP Commissioner Bob Paulson at the helm, and Accused war criminal Stephen Harper running the country theres no hope in hell of improving anything let alone tell the truth!!

Is that why the current prime minister is portrayed wearing a Gestapo uniform?? [see picture of Stephen Harper in gestapo clothes] http://fredericks-artworks.blogspot.ca/2012_06_01_archive.html

Is there any fault in Canada to publish in good faith to redress a wrong? NO!! As cited in: YourLaws.ca Criminal Code of Canada 315. Publication in good faith for redress of wrong 315. No person shall be deemed to publish a defamatory libel by reason only that he publishes defamatory matter in good faith for the purpose of seeking remedy or redress for a private or public wrong or grievance from a person who has, or who on reasonable grounds he believes has, the right or is under an obligation to remedy or redress the wrong or grievance, if
118

(a) he believes that the defamatory matter is true; (b) the defamatory matter is relevant to the remedy or redress that is sought; and (c) the defamatory matter does not in any respect exceed what is reasonably sufficient in the circumstances. One has to ask oneself, with all the books out there by this author telling the truth about these Canadian government rats, these Royal Canadian Mounted Police rats [and there are many fine officers just not the ones in this book], and their stooges such as Sanfu Chen, no one has ever tried to sue the author? Why, because there is no remedy against the truth!! Just more harassment and illegal acts, as those reported in this book!!
