Recommendation that Hickman be Terminated from the Order of Canada

MARK-ALAN WHITTLE

Her Excellency Adrienne Clarkson: Hickman Order

Tuesday, February 24, 2004
The Right Honourable Adrienne Clarkson

Re: Your Order of Canada Appointment to T. Alex Hickman
Your Excellency:
It has come to my attention that on May 8th, 2003 you appointed T. Alex Hickman to the order of Canada. I take grave exception to this appointment because of the following information provided to me by Mr. Byron Prior, who contacted my Foundation for help through Logan's Pony Club web site.
In his letter he stated that;
"The Federal Government is allowing the credibility & reputation of the police & the legal system, to be destroyed to protect ONE corrupt lawyer, politician, judge & child rapist. This man has broken every law he swore to protect. Because this ex- Justice Minister and Chief Justice of the Supreme Court raped and impregnated my 11 year old sister, and covered it up his entire career, no one will help us. To this day, no lawyer will represent me and the legal system will do nothing to help. The last lawyer I asked to represent me, told me, if any lawyer tried to represent you, it would mean the end of their career. "
As the Constitution of the Order allows for termination of membership, I would like to officially make recommendation for termination to the Governor General and to the Advisory Council of the Order of Canada, chaired by the Chief Justice of Canada.
Respectfully,
Mark-Alan Whittle

Update From Byron in Ottawa, April 26, 2006

Byron reported being a little tired, but never ready to give up when I spoke to him today in the Capital City.

He said that he had called Mr. Norman Doyle's office on Monday, April 24th, as he had been requested to do by Mr. Doyle before he left for Newfoundland. His assistant, Alvin, said that Mr. Doyle had not yet returned from Newfoundland and that he was expected at around noon. This was at approximately 11.30am.

So, Byron went up to his room to wait. The Innkeeper of his guest house told him to turn on CPAC, Canada's political channel. Lo and behold, but there sat Mr. Norman Doyle in his seat in parliament. Byron called Alvin back.

Alvin said that Mr. Doyle was going to be awful "busy" the whole week.
On Tuesday, the Innkeeper said that Alvin had called without leaving a message.

On Wednesday, today, he didn't call.

"I told Alvin that on any given day, they could find me in front of the parliament buildings with the information they told me to bring along."

Byron assured me that he wouldn't be going anywhere soon and he was sure that in time, Mr. Doyle would make the appointment.
I offered me two cents worth and commented that it would be a little silly for them to leave Byron standing on the Parliament lawn when tourists from all over world walk up to the Parliament buildings with their video recorders and digital cams!
Already several foreigners have written messages on Byron's Message Board on his website, showing support and disbelief that this injustice could actually exist in Canada.

But exist it does, as Mr. Harper and his government know too well.
Byron is the first to admit that Mr. Harper is doing an outstanding job at tackling the weaknesses and corruption that the Liberal Party brought into Canada.

"But he needs to look at the Justice System. Something is very, very wrong there."

Certainly, if a Supreme Court Justice like Alex Hickman could rape a little girl, get away with it and be nominated to the Order of Canada, this is a sign that the Justice System is severely rotten with corruption.

"This means that a criminal has received the Order of Canada!" Byron remarked indignantly.

And then with sadness, "After 40 years of crying out for help, do they really think I will give up now?" I think not, I said.

Byron said he was comforted by the fact that his sister was standing up and speaking out. "All she has to do is put it in writing, but she's afraid. They have frightened her for years."

I assured Byron that sooner rather than later, these thugs could not keep this travesty under the rug. He was gaining too much support.

"Someone came up to me today and told me that Hickman is blind. You know what I said? I said, 'Good, that way he can't look at little children anymore'"

It seems like the authorities have chosen blindness all these years by ignoring Byron and his sister's cries for help.
But, Byron's photographs and his message are all around the globe - people everywhere are calling for Justice for Byron and his family.

When I bid farewell to Byron, he was in tears. He is tired. But he will never give up. He has grieved at the loss of his innocence and that of his siblings, at the injustice for 4 decades. His heart has been broken so many times. He will only rest when justice is done.

It is time for Mr. Doyle, Mr. Harper and the Conservative Party to stand up for Justice in Canada.

From Hell to Victory - A George Peppard Classic War Movie

Reviewer: David Forehand (Nashville, Tennessee United States) on Amazon.com

For those who haven't yet seen this forgotten Italian-made war film (aka Contro 4 bandiere), this movie has the lovely actress Capucine in it. That alone earns the movie at least three stars! Despite the great cast and the abundant action, this movie has so many cliches and corny dialogue that you'll need a dose of Aleve just to finish it. Don't get me wrong, I've enjoyed watching this war movie ever since I was a kid, only now I see all the plot holes and flaws. I mean come on, the "German" fighter planes are nothing but British spitfires with German insignia painted on them!

The movie begins on August 24, 1939, in a Paris cafe, where six friends (George Peppard, George Hamilton, Horst Bucholz, Anny Duperey, Sam Wanamaker, and Jean Pierre Cassel) from different countries (of course) are about to be torn apart by World War Two. They vow to meet again on the next August 24, not realizing that the war would still be raging then. All six join the Allies, except the lone German in the group, Horst Bucholz. Bucholz becomes a Panzer commander and eventually fights against his former friends in the battle of Normandy in June 1944. Each of the six friends takes an active role in the war, and from the British evacuation from Dunkirk to the liberation of Paris, they stuggle to survive and keep in contact with one another. Along the way, Capucine enters the picture as a heroine who will risks everything to save Allied pilots from being captured by the cruel Gestapo.

By the liberation of Paris, however, only three of the six (I won't say which) have survived, and they share a tearful reunion in the same Paris cafe where they had vowed to return. The battles scenes have plenty of explosions, but they are extremely unrealistic. With a cast like this, though, I absolutely recommend this guilty pleasure to fans of war movies. Just don't set your standards too high! By the way, a lot of the battle scenes in this are the same scenes featured in another European war movie (Partizanska eskadrila (1979), aka "Battle of the Eagles"). Unfortunately, since both movies were released in 1979 I have no idea which movie copied from the other.

Update From Byron in Ottawa - April 18, 2006

Byron wasn't in a happy mood when I called him today in Ottawa.

He was grateful to have healed from the sunburn, but upset that a bunch of kids from a high school in Newfoundland had kicked over his signs and broken them.

"They said I was embarrassing Canada. What about the embarrassment my family has had to endure these forty years?" he asked. And that is a good question.

"I don't want to be here. But I have no choice. This is what I have been forced to do so that somebody will step and do something to end the corruption in this case. I have a permit from the R.C.M.P (the Royal Canadian Mounted Police), I sit here from 9am until 3pm every day and I protest in a peaceful manner."

He said he was so disappointed by the high school kids's behaviour. I remarked that it sounded as if they had learned Bullying Tactics. Ironic that they were kids from Newfoundland.

He did say that a Hockey Team from British Columbia had come up to him and asked about his situation. "They were decent, you know. Really sad to hear about everything and they took my information as well. 'This is happening in Canada?' they asked me."

"Then there is this young lady who came out from Parliament Building and asked me if I was here because of my family. When I told her I was, she asked for my information and said that she represented a Civil Rights Group and that she would present my information to them. I also told her about Martha Jedda's book about my story and she said she would look at it."

"So, everyday there are people who are kind and supportive. And then there is always Father Van Hee who stands with me everyday."

Byron told me about two teachers from Quebec who were there with some high school kids and who could not believe the situation. They took his information as well.

"Stephen Harper is the first Canadian Prime Minister to openly stand up and say in public, "We have a corrupt government. He is the first one to admit there is organized crime in the government and he seems to be certain about taking action to get rid of it." I agreed with him on that point.

Byron Prior Stands Up For Our Children in Canada

Remember, this man, Byron Prior, an adult man of 53 years of age, was once a little boy who was victimized and abused by corrupt members of the legal and political fraternity in Grand Banks, Newfoundland.

Remember, he witnessed his 12-year old sister being raped by these same corrupt men.

Remember, these men, including a Judge of the Supreme Court of Newfoundland, have not yet been brought to justice, despite Byron's struggle for more than 40 years.

Read Byron's story at Canada Children First

Isn't time for you to stand by Byron in his effort to seek justice?

Isn't it time to stand up for Canada's Children?

If you recognize your duty to speak out against child abuse and the failure by authorities to protect children from abuse, then contact Prime Minister Harper and urge him and the Minister of Justice, Mr. Vic Toews, to reform the Family Law and the Judicial system in Canada.

Tell them, in writing, that you applaud the Federal Accountability Act, but that in addition to this legislation, you want A Federal Accountability Act for the Canadian Bar Association and all judges in Canada.

Conservative Party To Restore Federal Accountability in Canada

Accountability Restored with Landmark Legislation
11 April 2006 OTTAWA

- Prime Minister Stephen Harper's government today introduced the proposed Federal Accountability Act to restore Canadians' trust in government.


"With the Federal Accountability Act, we are creating a new culture of accountability that will change forever the way business is done in Ottawa," Prime Minister Harper said.

Treasury Board President John Baird introduced the Act in Parliament. An Action Plan was also released, which includes additional measures the Harper government will undertake in order to deliver on all its campaign commitments to clean up government.

"People who work hard, pay their taxes, and play by the rules want accountability from their government," said Minister Baird. "Today is about putting the legacy of political scandal behind us and restoring Canadians' trust in government."

The Federal Accountability Act and Action Plan would:
reduce the opportunity to exert influence with money by banning corporate, union, and large personal political donations; give Canadians confidence that lobbying is done ethically with a five-year lobbying ban on former ministers, their aides, and senior public servants; ensure people who see problems in government know they can speak up by providing real protection for whistleblowers; and ensure Canadians know how their money is spent by enhancing the power for the Auditor General to follow the money.

"These measures will strengthen and streamline government so it can function more efficiently," Prime Minister Harper said. "We are following through on our commitment to deliver good, clean government to Canadians."

Mr. Baird added that the Government will work with Parliament to move this important legislation forward. The Government will also immediately begin to implement the non-legislative elements of the Action Plan.

The Action Plan, draft legislation, fact sheets, and other materials are available at www.accountability.gc.ca

Byron Prior Interviewed by CBC Radio in Ottawa, Canada

Tuesday, April 11, 2006
Byron standing outside the House of Parliament in Ottawa. His placard reads:
"No Justice in Newfoundland for Priors of Grand Bank."

I caught up with Byron in Ottawa this afternoon. This is what he had to report:

He caught a bad case of sunburn yesterday standing on Parliament Hill all day. He has been advised to rest for a few days and then he will return to his place outside the parliament buildings in Ottawa.

Since last week, he has been getting acquainted with Reverend Father Van Hee who has been demonstrating for family and children's rights on the Hill for 17 years.


Several employees on the Hill greet him everyday on their way into parliament, and one person in particular has asked for his information and carried it into the House of Parliament.

The first thing Byron mentioned with enthusiasm was Prime Minister Stephen Harper speaking to the 250-page Federal Accountability Act in the House today.
"This is the most important thing that Prime Minister Harper can do for our country," said Byron.

According to the Ottawa Citizen of April 5:
"The Federal Accountability Act will be introduced next Tuesday as a giant omnibus bill with 13 sweeping reforms and more than 60 separate measures that Mr. Harper vows will forever change "the way business is done in this town." The reforms include everything from new rules for political donations, expanded powers for officers of Parliament and overhauling appointments to federal boards and agencies."

Byron says that the new legislation will bring increased protection for whistle-blowers and public servants who expose corruption in government.

According to Mr. John Baird, the Treasury Board President,
"Accountability is our most important job to rebuild public trust," said Mr. Baird. "The act will be something a lot of public servants will welcome and it will allow public servants to to be protected if they forward and report wrongdoing. ... The public servants are the real winners in our accountability act."

When Byron returned to his room yesterday, he was informed by the kind Innkeeper, Abdul, that a Mr. Norman Doyle had called from Parliament and left a message for Byron to call back. When Byron called the office of the Representative for Newfoundland, a secretary answered and told Byron to wait on the line while she called Mr. Doyle from the afternoon session.
Mr. Doyle left his place to attend to the phone call and asked Byron what he required.

"I told him that I would like an appointment with someone in the Department of Justice. He said that I should make an appointment and I said, 'But Sir, its been 40 years now, don't you think it's time they do something about this situation?'"

Mr. Doyle asked Byron why nothing had been done to resolve the situation in Newfoundland.
"You tell me, Sir." is what Byron replied.
Mr. Doyle noted that Parliament would be closing for the Easter and holiday celebrations and that it would re-open on April 24th.
He enquired of Byron whether he would be going home to Newfoundland for this period.
"No, Sir. I will stay here and travel door to door, distributing my information. When you come back on the 24th of April I will be standing in front of the Parliament buildings."

Mr. Doyle told Byron to call his office on April 24th and set up an appointment with his secretary. He told Byron to "bring all your information with you."
Byron reminded Mr. Doyle that the Minister of Justice, Mr. Vic Toews, Prime Minister Harper and Foreign Minister Mr. Peter Mackay, all had copies of his story.

"Then CBC Radio interviewed me on the lawn in front of Parliament about our troops in Afghanistan and asked me what I thought of approving additional funding for our Canadian Forces overseas. " He was enthusiastic about this interview.

"I told them I am all for it. You know, here I am in Canada just trying to live a decent life and having to work hard enough to get that life, why shouldn't other people have a decent life elsewhere?"
Good question.

"The CBC asked me what I thought about our Canadian Troops policing other states and I told them, I said, "You know, the first thing that happens when a country's system collapses is that the criminals start taking over, and policing becomes a problem. If our Forces can help to keep order and enforce the law, I would agree that it is a good thing."
"Provided," he added, "they are supported and kept as safe as possible while they are there. So, sure they need extra funding."

I am sure that Byron's sentiments in this regard will please Mr. Harper.

Byron Prior Gets Support in Ottawa

Monday, April 10, 2006


Byron Prior stands outside the Parliament Buildings in Ottawa with his placard which reads:
"Child Rape is Okay in Newfoundland if you have power."

Byron's message sends a powerful and shameful alert to all who approach the Hill, as tourists, visitors and state employees.

Most definitely, potential immigrants to Canada might view this image and wonder if Canada truly is an "icon of human rights protection".

On the telephone, he tells me about the events of the day:

"These two guys were walking around on the lawn, they read my signs and they started laughing. I walked up to them and asked them if I could provide them with some information. "

Byron comments that the spectators had made a sarcastic remark, to which he replied,
"You can say just about anything if it is the truth."

He says they listened to his story and then took his information package into the building.

Byron was inspired by the support he is receiving from Jeremy Swanson, an advocate for equal parenting and fathers rights in Ottawa. In fact, Jeremy offered to take the photographs of Byron.
"Here's a man who has lost his family because of the injustice in the law system. He lives at the YMCA, can hardly make it through each month, and here he is, helping me!" Byron was overwhelmed by Jeremy's spontaneous support.

"And there's this guy Bob, he works on Parliament Hill and he stays at the Y as well. Well, he brought me a strawberry muffin and coffee yesterday. He works for the Bloc Quebecois."

Byron tells me that he has handed out more than 1500 information sheets regarding his case and the criminals who preyed on his family for so many years in Grand Banks, Newfoundland.

"I'll be walking around a lot in the days to come, getting more handouts to the people." he says.

Isn't that sad, they admit this happened, but, they've been turned aganist me, the very person who loves them all and has and will again, give his blood for any one of them. I can only pray God will let them see, the abusing criminals, Hickman And Matthews, have destroyed us, for their own protection, I love them and they all know that in their hearts.

Byron Prior in Ottawa for Justice

I spoke to Byron in Ottawa this evening. This is what he had to say:
He arrived in the capital city on Tuesday and stopped to have lunch in a little delicatessen downtown:
“There was this little Italian elderly lady who owned the place and who sat and watched the News with me. She listened to my story and asked me for my information package. She said she would talk to people. She refused to accept anything for the meal. So kind, I tell ya.”
On Tuesday evening Byron attended a meeting downtown where the corruption in the family law system and in the civil service was discussed. There he met and spoke with Jeremy Swanson, an advocate for father’s rights and Equal Parenting in Canada.
“Jeremy has not been allowed to see his children for more than two years. Here is a man who has been very, very hurt by this crazy system. And what a gentleman, he was so helpful.”
Byron says “the guys” helped him understand etiquette on the Hill and offered him support during his stay. They told him about the Catholic Father who stood on the Hill to protest against abortion and the Falun Gong who protested for Human Rights in their own country. The Guys even took him out for a couple a beers and a great sandwich after the meeting.
On Tuesday and Wednesday Byron handed out 300 of his information leaflets where he explains the crimes that have been committed against his family and the corruption that has kept his family from access to justice for over 3 decades.
Yesterday he attended the Farmer’s Rally on Parliament Hill where more than 10,000 Canadian farmers gathered to ask Prime Minister Harper to keep his promise to help agriculture and farming in Canada.
“I spoke to a lot of the guys there. They told me their stories and I told them mine. Some of them even asked for my information and said they would help where ever they could.”
Foreign Minister Peter Mackay attended the Rally and Byron seized the opportunity to speak with him.
“He remembered me. I reminded him of the letter and my website and he said he knew who I was. He asked for my information and gave it to one of his assistants. So I expect to hear from him.”
We hope Byron does hear from Minister Mackay. Canada cannot afford to have it’s international reputation tarnished. Just imagine what it would do to the Immigration Industry if people found out about the level of corruption in government here?
I asked Byron how far he had walked today:
“Oh, about 8 to 10 miles. It was tough going with all those stairs to climb. But I did it and I’ll keep doing it. So far I’ve handed out 700 leaflets. Next week I’ll be up on the Hill handing out my letters to people and talking to them.”
We spoke about the possibility of Justice Minister Toews granting an audience to Byron:
“Yes, it is necessary. I believe that the Justice Minister understands that this corruption has to be eliminated.”
I comment that he appears to be meeting a lot of good people and making some headway in Ottawa:
“Yeah, you know, they had me dead in the water back home in Newfoundland. But, as a wise friend said, I have jumped off the Merry-Go-Round and I have brought my story to the capital.”
Indeed he has, and we wish him the best. He deserves it. So does his family and all of our families - we deserve justice and protection from organized crime.
Stay tuned because I will be bringing you more updates from Byron in Ottawa.
