Heather Matheson and Costs

 On June 3 2026 at a hearing for me asking for an adjournment which her client the Public Guardian and Trustee refused to give me, I noticed when leaving the courtroom a security guard was shielding her as if I was a threat to her body.  Outside the courtroom I asked her why did she need a security guard.  She said that she did not have to talk to me.  Today this situation came up again and her reply in an email was Please know that these kinds of communications will be placed before the court when we make our application for special costs.  She gets a personal body guard at the expense of the Province. The PGT authorized it. What special costs it was a simple applciation for an adjournment.  It did not even require her attendance. But she produced a 100 page affidavit to convince the judge that I should not be granted any adjournment.  At that time I felt that I needed extra time as I was a self representative and needed to prepare properly for oral submissions on June 24. The chamber's judge said that he could not accommodate me as the question of an adjournment was out of his hands.  It rested solely with the registrar of scheduling as per the appeal rules. The point is Heather was a lawyer and she knew that a chamber's judge had no jurisdiction and she could have told me that but NO that wasn't her job. Her job was to incur costs including the kitchen sink to prove she can get special costs so her whole fee to the PGT is covered.  There are different levels of costs when you go to go.  Ordinary costs which are reasonable and then there are special costs which include every paperclip.  Special costs go beyond required costs to include every minute a lawyer deicates to a file.  Special costs are supposed to be for outrageous conduct like not telling the truth to a judge, producing fraudulent documents. The PGT push for special costs so they do not want to pay their lawyers for doing what is not absolutely necessary. And invariably the person fearing additional costs just pays.  It is called litigation strategy. June 3 wasn't the first time a sheriff was in the courtroom, it was the third time. Sheriffs do not attend civil hearings unless requested. Their presence is a subtle intimidation tactic and a credibility‑shaping signal to a judge. It is a sick game lawyers play. The first time was in 2024 when my sister phoned to warn me that Rule and Leah Card were out to get me and for me to be careful.  What is wrong with these sicko lawyers.

Rule of Law

 from ourstoprotect.ca


What is the rule of law?

In short, the rule of law means that laws — not individuals — govern Canada. It means nobody is above the law. Laws must be clear, fair, and applied equally by courts that are independent from the government. And the rights and freedoms of Canadians must be protected under those laws.

This principle shapes our everyday lives, from our ability to speak freely, to knowing that our justice system is designed to treat everyone as equals. In places where the rule of law is strong, we find thriving communities, stronger economies, better education, greater peace, and longer life expectancy.

But today, the rule of law is under pressure — around the world and here in Canada. Fewer than half of Canadians trust that our justice system works as intended, and more than two-thirds worry that political interference could begin to shape our courts.

None of us should take the rule of law for granted. Protecting our rights takes education, awareness, and a commitment to fairness from all of us. Together, we can keep Canada’s rule of law strong. It’s ours to protect.

I can't get over the anger

 A friend of mine died,  think it was sudden death, at a social housing project, run by the City of Vancouver. I still cannot get over it.  He died, and because he had no next -of -kin, the City took his body and hid it.  And what did they do with his stuff, trash it. I am fed up with this confidentiality garbage.  The guy is dead, and he is treated as abandoned trash.  What is happening to our society.  As for the City I wrote Ken Sim and he never even emailed me back.  What is wrong with him.  I saw him on video yesterday. He seems to be surrounded with body guards and he looks like he has a drinking problem.  And what is he doing on TV, talking about the vulnerable people he is trying to get prison housing for. Has anyone looked at the City roads and sidewalks lately or even the trees.  They are all in decline.  Pot holes everwhere.  Trees not pruned. Garbage and homeless everywhere.  Let's not vote for Sim again.

Project Ends

 It has been eight days since my project ended.  It has been very draining for me.  I can't seem to do anything except sleep.  I am being forced to sleep, I cannot stop it.  Maybe in a few days I will feel better.  I just hope that no one phones me to upset me.  I have so much to talk about but I just can't now.  Maybe for the rest of my life I will just  grow flowers.
