So what now?

Now, it’s just a waiting game.

My class action is 100% at the mercy of the DOJ and the Government of Canada.

In October of 2013 the DOJ knew the truth about 2011 CFNIS investigation and the truth about the exploits of Canadian Armed Forces officer Captain Father Angus McRae and his teenage accomplice, my babysitter.

Did they care?

Nope.

They were not concerned in the least with the fact that the CFNIS willingly and intentionally withheld information from the Military Police Complaints Commission in 2012.

The DOJ was more concerned with the fact that I had introduced “new evidence” into my hearing that was not put before the MPCC.

The problem with this is I had no idea what the CFNIS and the Provost Marshal had withheld from the MPCC until I filed for judicial review.

In the end, the Department of Justice didn’t care that the CFNIS had intentionally run a dog ‘n’ pony show investigation designed to convince the Alberta Crown to not recommend charges.

The Department of Justice was all about minimizing the risk to the Canadian Armed Forces and the Department of National Defence. That’s it.

The babysitter sued the Minister of National Defence and the Canadian Armed Forces for the sexual abuse that he endured at the hands of Canadian Armed Forces officer Captain Father Angus McRae.

This was a cut and dry case as out of over 25 children that the military police were aware of in 1980 as having been molested by Captain Father Angus McRae, it was only the babysitter’s charges that were permitted to proceed to Courts Martial. All other charges against Captain McRae had been dropped.

The babysitter and his lawyer started their Action in the Alberta Court of Queen’s Bench in March of 2001.

The Department of Justice dragged the babysitter’s matter out until November of 2008.

My matter hasn’t even really started yet.

My matter is still in the early stages of getting the class established.

And if the DOJ dragged the babysitter’s matter out for 7 years, I can see mine going on for at least 10 to 15 years.

And at the end the award will be chump change and a condescending pat on the head from the DOJ and the DND.

No one will admit fault, no one will acknowledge what I’ve suffered through for the last 45 years.

I can safely say that I will be around until at least September of 2027.

If the government of Canada follows through with expanding Medical Assistance in Dying to include reasons such as Mental Illness in March of 2027, I intend to apply as soon as I can.

What if the government of Canada caves to the far right and doesn’t expand Medical Assistance in Dying to include mental illness?

That’s just something that I’ll have to deal with in 2027, but I do have alternatives plans in mind.
