For what seems like forever I have been asking for the reasons why you signed the Certificate of Incapacity for Randy and you never replied,  I will remind you you are an officer of the court and you have chosen to offend it.

I would like to think that you were pressured into doing this but then maybe you were just lazy and rubber stamped the request of the Public Guardian and Trustee who rubber stamped whatever Coastal Health wanted.

Just for your information, the decision of the college of physicians and surgeons said that Dr. Dunne put a DNR on Randy when he should not have.  This decision was also kept from me.  Something about the college being an arcane star chamber.

How was it that you were able to rescind my involvement in Randy's life when I had an enduring power of attorney and a section 9 representation agreement.  I did not abandon Randy, I was totally devoted to him. I did not know that Randy had any money that would interest the public guardian and trustee until after Randy died.

You have insulted our judicial system and you are continuing to do so.

What you did to Randy was unforgivable.  You made sure that I would never see him again and I was his only reason for life.  How could you do that. 

From an Ontario case.  Not mine. Over one hundred Ontario lawyers refused to represent me even as they acknowledged the veracity and power of my evidence. Many told me that while they personally sympathized with my situation facing injustice and corruption, they feared backlash and opprobrium from the profession if they harmed or even challenged the involved senior lawyers and their large Bay Street law firms.

Substitute Ontario Lawyers with the lawyers who represent the VCHA and the PGT.  I have been searching for eight years to get a lawyer. Why should it have been so difficult.  Not one of them offered to read my story (or read my blog) or read my amateur pleadings. But these lawyers sure knew how to advise VCHA on how to make a fake case against we.  They even got the police involved, unknown visitors, unknown experts, unknown patients, unknown staff, evidence based on gossip.  Believe it, gossip is now considered truth in a court of law.

It was about the hastening of my husband's death and they all believed my husband's life had no quality of life and they all had to help him kill himself.  It was in Randy's best interest.

When did doctors become devils..... the evil created by the medical industrial complex.  We do not have to worry about hidden agenda of hidden weapons of mass distruction only whispers of death from those you are suppose to trust.   From the first day I spoke to a social worker in 2010 I was told that I should just sign off and let the PGT look after Randy.  Another nurse told me not to push for agressive treatment.  And then there is Ro who told me that everyone at GPC has a DNR on them and them (the residents) not even knowng what a DNR was. And she believed that Randy had no quality of life.  So she made sure that my access to him was limited to ensure that he had no reason to live.  Up to April 4 2014 when Randy was admitted to VCH I always had full access to him at VGH but she Ro phoned Emergency and prevented me from seeing him.  She knew Randy was dying and wanted to make sure that he did die and die alone.

I would not abandon my husband so they made sure that they did it for me.  It was not in the best interest of my husband to live so I had to be punished/banned for life from all VCHA premises so that I would never see him again, not even on his death bed. And this came to pass.

Like Nurse Ratchet aid to me, that I could not do anything to her as she was a civil servant.  The rest of them are protected by the Canadian Medical Protection Association.  The CMPA is not  an insurance company, it is a union, with tons of money and very little ethics.  No member no matter how bad he is has even be disfellowed. He has insurance for life no matter what harm he does.  So he has nothing to worry about.  And to add insult to injury it is the tax payer who pays the union dues on behalf of the physicians.Unlike the US where the physicians have to pay their own insurance premiums.

And I am still angry over my wanting to know from David Bell, partner in Guild Yule, what did I do and his response was "I knew what I did."  I said no, tell me what did.  HE REFUSED.  So he created this expensive litigation which will eventually embarass the government over what.  I have no idea.  I would still like to know whythey wanted me to be escorted to the toilet when I was visiting Randy.  I use DEPENDS so I never had to use their toilet.  What did I do wrong.  Lawyers are not allowed to create litigation to satisfy the whim of risk management.  And then there is Dr. Dunn, Dr. Roberts and Dr. Hay who hide from being serviced with a Notice of Civil Claim.  These are professionals hiding from due process.  The College of Physicians and Surgeons should fine them $100,000 each for not respecting the law.  Physicians are given incredible amount of power and they abuse it.

A terrible mistake

I made a terrible mistake.  I decided that since VCHA would not allow me to see Carolanne, a resident-patient at George Pearson Centre, that I would go by way of a  petition :  a court action.  Wrong move. I did not count on VCHA getting to Carolanne who said she did not want to see me.  They convinced Carolanne that I would get into trouble if I tried to see her. I could not barge in to see her again as she was put under heavy supervision. And I am afraid of violence from Paladin Security.  I told the lawyers for VCHA that their client was forcing Carolanne to say she did not want to see me because I would get into trouble ... and they did nothing.  I did ask Carolanne if she told Dr. Hay, her primary physician appointed by the state (VCHA) if Dr. Hay asked her if she wanted to see me and she said that she told him yes.  Dr. Hay did not do anything either for me to access Carolanne and neither did he attempt to contact me although I emailed him on more than one occasion asking to see Carolanne and her wanting to see me. In furtherance, the good Dr. Hay avoided service of the action I commenced for Randy as he too was Randy's physician appointed by the state.  For a year he did this. Do you have any idea how much a document processing company charges for attempting service.  Dr. Hay owes Randy $big time.  He is a professional, and he hides from a court process. He should be criminally charged with obstruction.  He knew what was wanting to being served on him as I sent him copies by email, left voice mails, faxed him, mailed the documents by post, and personally delivering them to his office.  I even made sure his lawyer knew about the document. The College of Physician and Surgeons should charge him with unprofessional conduct.  Carolanne is a quad whose family abandoned her decades ago.  She had a boyfriend Vince, but he died a few years ago from a heart attack.  The only contact she has with the real world is me. She now has a trach and cannot talk, nor can she write. She haunts me adding to my persistent complex bereavement.

The defendants who are saying that I am well are Dr. Mark Roberts and Dr. James Dunn.  And Dr. Georgia Nemetz, a respected psychologist: a graduate from York House School. None of them have examined me, but they just know. This must be defamation.  I am "not-well" so why are they telling the Supreme Court of British Columbia that I am well. But then they might not know how to search the internet to read what persistent complex bereavement is.

As for the Public Guardian and Trustee, she says that she acted in good faith, I say she abused her power.  Telling me that the enduring power of attorney I had for my husband had to be revoked because I MIGHT mismanage my husband's money is insulting and ridiculous.  This decision was made when my husband was within 9 days of him dying. They knew he was imminent and they did this anyways. Catherine Romaniuk is the Public Guardian and Trustee.  There is a report written by the Ombudsperson called No Longer Your Decision. The Report was critical of both VCHA and the PGT.  The investigation of me was done by a twenty-nine-year-old PGT employee who is most likely still living with his parents.  I know of no other reason for his immaturity i.e. stupidity.  The PGT does what VCHA instructs them what to do.  Whatever VCHA Risk Management wants, Risk Management gets.  Have gun, will travel. And the PGT cannot come up with new evidence as they already declared what evidence they have.  Even after Randy died the PGT was questioning the validity of his will which was made a decade earlier. As if I forged the Will.  They mentioned the possibility of administering the will which would mean that they can revoke a Will as easily as they could revoke a power of attorney..  Administering a will is only done when there is no will.

I woke this morning

I woke this morning in total darkness with my head screaming why was I still alive.  How your mind tells you what you are really thinking. It was unsettling.  I hide under the wool fleece I sleep with wanting to escape into further darkness and warmth.  The same wool fleece I buried Randy in. At one time in England, it was the law that bodies were to be buried in fleece. I now understand why. It is  warm, soft to the skin, and protective.

Earlier I phoned the suicide prevention people.  He spoke to me for a short period of time and he said he would call me back.  I half suspected that I had made a mistake in calling him as I waited for the police or someone to come and take me away.  I finally fell asleep.

So much for non-profits who are suppose to help.  All of them seem only to have very expensive designed web pages and only offer referrals, or nothing at all.  It is a lie just like it says that you can get a lawyer when you need one.  The worse one is the Elder group: SAIL.  After you have your initial contact they filter further calls so there is no help.

To solve problems which you might not have even created, you commit suicide.  Or if you are not too intelligent, you just wander the streets not understanding what happened.


drafted morning of June 21 2018 but not posted.

Litigation is not a tea party; neither is it a forum to psychologically torture a self-litigant or a junior lawyer.

This morning 15 June 2018 I received an email from the Public Guardian and Trustee.  I was told that the PGT had the same right as that of a poor man in that they can both sleep under the same bridge.

But that is not true as the PGT has more rights as it also has quasi-judicial powers which we the people unknown to us gave it. Rights that supersede the rich man and the poor man.  The PGT is not regulated by due process, the bedrock of a just society.

We do not live in a democracy, we live in a silent dictatorship (Rocco Galati), and we do not even know it.

The causality of being a self-litigant: how many suicides are not reported.

Family blames justice system for pushing man to suicide

Darrin White's brother-in-law cites court-ordered support payments that far exceeded his income.

Jeff Lee, Vancouver Sun

Lloyd McKenzie, a former B.C. Supreme Court judge

DARRIN WHITE: Took his own life after a court battle.

The family of a Prince George man who committed suicide is blaming the judicial system for his death.Family members say Darrin White hanged himself because he couldn't stand the pressures placed on him by what they characterize as an unsympathetic court that systematically stripped him of his family responsibilities and saddled him with unbearable costs.
"The court system didn't listen to him. It failed him. He gave up, and no one wins. Not the kids, who now don't have a father, not the ex-wife, not the court," White's brother-in-law Murray Empey said Wednesday. "The court system bullied him to his death."
On March 1, B.C. Supreme Court Master Doug Baker ruled that White, who was on temporary stress leave from his job as a BC Rail locomotive engineer, was capable of paying $2,071 in spousal and child support for his ex-wife and three children, even though White was on disability at the time and was only getting $950 per month.
In addition, Baker disregarded another $439 per month White said he was paying to support a 14-year-old daughter from a previous union.
The amounts would have eaten up almost all of White's after-tax income even had he been working and not on disability, Empey said.
"It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that the numbers didn't add up. But that didn't seem to matter to the judge. How is it that he could make an order like that when the money wasn't there in the first place?"
But it was more than just the money that drove White over the edge, Empey said in an interview shortly before he and White's father Les returned to Brandon, Man., to bury White.
White was so traumatized by the court system that he no longer felt he had any rights, even though he loved his children and wanted to be a part of their lives, Empey said.
"I think Darrin was in a state of mind where he was beat up by the courts and he just gave up," he said. "We talked to Darrin every day, sometimes twice a day, from Brandon, and no one ever thought he would do this. What really forced him was the fact he was fighting for visitation rights, fighting for any kind of rights, and trying to be a good father, and not being allowed to be that."
White's bitter court battles were marked by charges of spousal assault, restraining orders against both him and his ex-wife, and a restriction on his visitation rights.
In a court document in which White sought a variance on a restraining order, he wrote about the importance he placed on his role as a father.
"My children need their dad and I need them," he wrote.
"I cannot tell my children I love them even though I am sure they know it. They need to hear this as often as possible," he wrote in the document, dated last month.
In his reasons, Baker acknowledged White was under stress, in part because he was involved in several court actions involving his ex-wife. One of those involved an allegation of spousal abuse. But he said he didn't believe White was supporting his first child, and felt the man could go back to his job as a locomotive engineer within weeks.
Lloyd McKenzie, a former B.C. Supreme Court judge who speaks on behalf of the court, said the White case is no different than any of the thousands that go through the courts. In this case, the outcome of a marital breakup, which at the best of times is emotional, was doubly tragic, he said.
"There is nothing unusual about this judgment," McKenzie said. "These disputes go on every day. But you don't have this kind of human antagonism or emotion in any other kind of case. This man was obviously under a very great deal of stress."
McKenzie said the judge applied standardized guidelines for spousal and child support.
He said Baker would not give interviews to the media. "A judge talks to the world through his reasons of judgment. Master Baker doesn't have any personal interest, and he didn't have anything against the man."
White's death last week has become a rallying point for family-rights groups who say the 34-year-old couldn't withstand the stress of a family court system that "chews people up."
The Prince George Parent Child Advocacy Coalition is asking for a public inquiry into Baker's ruling and says White is only one example of a family maintenance support system gone awry. On Wednesday they held a protest outside the courthouse in Prince George.
"This is a hell of a problem across the country," said Todd Eckert, an advocate with PGPCA who represented White in court before Baker. "There were a number of contributing factors to this, but in the end, it came down to Darrin believing the system had failed him. And it did."
Eckert said White is an example of why federal Justice Minister Anne McLellan needs to rewrite family support laws to reflect a growing demand for joint parenting. He said the minister is sitting on a report that advocates rewriting legislation adopted three years ago that selectively favours custodial spouses.
White's 11-year marriage dissolved in January. His ex-wife, Madeleine, who is also trained as a locomotive engineer, was awarded custody of three children aged 10, 9 and 5, and was given the matrimonial house. White had restricted visitation rights. He had been accused of spousal assault, a charge Empey said his brother-in-law denied.
On March 12, family members called the police hours after he failed to show up for a scheduled visit with the children. Police later found a personal note to his father and children, and on March 17, discovered his body behind the home of a friend he had been staying with.
Darren Lindsay, Madeleine White's lawyer, said his client was in "very poor shape" over her ex-husband's suicide. He said there was no indication White was suicidal. The children have been told of their father's death.
Eckert said he understood White was extremely distressed because he was separated from his children.
Lindsay said his client was on welfare when she applied to the court for support. She and the children had left the matrimonial home and didn't have any money, he said.
Prince George coroner Suzanne Hare said she will be conducting an inquiry into White's death. A request for a full inquest has been received from the public but won't be ruled on until after the inquiry is complete, she said.

email 12 February 2014

Email: from 12 February 2014

Disrespectful Behavior :  The visitors were wanting to let Randy hear my voice on their cell phones. I wanted him to know that I had not abandoned him. They was no covert criminal behavior.

VCHA had no intention of lifting the restrictions. I was threatened since 2010 that VCHA could make sure that I never see Randy ever again, not even on his death bed. From November 2013 to the date of the email they were in conversations with the Public Guardian and Trustee and Others to make Randy a non-person and REVOKE my power of attorney and representation agreement so I would never be able to see Randy again.  From being good for Randy, I had to be bad for him. The PGT would then be able to place a DNR/DNT/CCO Order on Randy if VCHA deemed it was in Randy's best interest to hasten his death. All they had to do was get rid of me.  I pleaded with a judge that I see Randy and she refused.  I pleaded with everyone. Randy was going to be dead within 90 days and everyone knew it. 

What a  Blatant LIE the following email is:  How can you trust those that are suppose to protect us.  

Hi Audrey,

I think that it is important that I again reinforce the expectation that we laid out in our letter that was hand delivered and signed by you on Wednesday January 29th, 2014 outlining the 90 day restrictions we were imposing based on your ongoing behavior.  This letter clearly described our expectation that if your behavior was respectful during this 90 day period that we would review the restriction and restart your visitations.  Just so you are aware, VCH has a policy on the video or audio taping of staff without their consent.  This is felt to be disrespectful behavior.  We are aware that a couple of your friends have attempted to audiotape conversations with GPC staff without their consent.  We are also aware that you had a female friend videotape your visit on Saturday February 8th without the involved staff's consent.  These constitute disrespectful behavior.

You should also be aware that your disregard for the VCH wide restriction on January 29th and January 30th as well as your presentation at the PCQO office in VGH on January 31st have been noted.  Going forward Audrey, I am responsible for all PCQO activities for Vancouver community so if you have any questions please direct them to me.

The bottom line Audrey is that we are willing to forgive your initial responses and activities from January 29th to February 10th and work towards removing this restriction after 90 days.  However, should there be one more instance of audio/video taping of VCH staff without their consent or the unauthorized accessing of VCH property continue this restriction will not be lifted.  The covert activities that you continually organize need to stop.  We have clearly presented you with our expectations of respectful behavior and hope that you can follow these rules and have the restrictions lifted.

Do you not listen to what I am saying.  I have complained for years to the Vancouver PQO and they have stood their ground and offered me nothing but sorrow.  I ask that you fast track this process so I can visit my husband before he dies.   Ask your superior this is very serious and could have negative impact on your organization in that it takes forever for something as important as life and death to go through the same process as someone complaining about the linen.
