Adriana Snashall is a conspiracy theorist Healthcare worker

   This is an interesting and confusing idea to me that Adriana Snashall that was the abusive and threatening Town Bylaw officer in 2021 when she threatened to "Financially Bury me", that this woman would go on to a career in Healthcare? Like Huh? WTH?

  I do not see the connection of a woman who by accounts of her previous employer is a Conspiracy theorist. How do I know this, because the Mayor of the Town of Creston has told me so.

  Mayor Arnold DeBoon told me that Adriana Snashall was fired from the town because she refused to get a vaccine for the Covid 19 Vaccine as per Town policy. So now this is a very telling revelation by the Mayor, Arnold BeBoon who likes going around in whisper campaigns behind people backs.

 This reveals a number of disturbing facts about the Town of Creston and the abusive Town Council that runs this town.

 A.) The Town of Creston has been cavalier about exposing Senior citizens within their town to the Corona-virus. How do I know this? Because they had Adriana criss-crossing the town and speaking directly to Senior citizen property owners, putting the founders of this community at Extreme risk of exposure to the Covid-19 virus. Like WOW, did the Town notify these residents that if they came into close personal contact with Adriana Snashall, that they could have been exposed to the Corona-virus and be infected or they could have potentially died from the negligence of the Town of Creston.

  B.) Was there a public notice or notification to the towns people of their possible exposure to the Covid-19 virus? No? Not ever? Is this evidence of a cover-up by the Town of Creston because they feared notifying the Seniors in town of this exposure would potentially expose the Town of Creston to legal jeopardy? Did the Town fear litigation so much, that they decided it was best to tel NO-one in town?

Wow, just wow at the cavalier endangerment of the Seniors in this town, by Town Hall is shocking!

  C.) Thirdly and most likely the most shocking of all is that Mayor Arnold DeBoon told me in my meeting that Adriana Snashall was an anti-vaxxer, which means she is also a conspiracy theory believer (Plain English: A bonified Nutbar)

  D.) Mayor Arnold Deboon told me he would hire Adriana Snashall back tomorrow if he could but the Town policy does not allow employees to be unvaccinated. So he would endanger the Senior citizens of Creston in a heartbeat if he were allowed to do so? Like WTF is going on in the Mayors mind?

Arnold Deboon told me that he totally did NOT believe me about the fact that his "Nutbar pal" Adriana Snashall threatened to financially destroy me, and said he believes that I am a liar. He kept saying over and over, "Wheres your evidence?" I replied that I was unaware that I needed to hire a private detective to monitor town officials when I am speaking with them. He replied, "Well why did you not report this incident when it occurred?"

  I replied, "Because I knew that the town was run by a tiny little clique of Land owners that enjoy having total control and that because of how he was treating me in my meeting with him."

  I asked him, "What kind of hack operation are you running here in this town? You go around threatening, harassing Senior citizens that are disabled? Like WTH is going on here and who empowered you to threaten and intimidate newcomers to this town?

  I knew this was a weird little cliquey town of religious crazies but this is not how I envisioned my retirement turning out. This program of threats and intimidation is a gross abuse of authority and I told Arnold so. So I asked him, "Who empowered you to destroy tax paying citizens lives, was it the province? No he replied. "Was it the Federal Govt, who gave you the power to go around threatening to financially ruin new arrivals to this town?

  It was a nonsensical meeting with Arnold using his political skills to talk in circles and imply that I was lying. I asked him, "Why would I make up such a story?" The meeting was going nowhere with Arnold just spouting lies in circles, so I got up and to told him the meeting was over.

  Creston is NOT a Town that you would want to retire in, it is a hellhole of people that only have an interest in the town bylaw officer being used as a harassment tool for new residents. I told Arnold that I severely REGRET deciding to retire in the Town of Creston, B.C., I told him that the Town had deliberately set up their bylaw system to abuse residents that do NOT fit in their little clique.

  I asked him where is the accountability? Where is the recording ot town officials that go around threatening to ruin the lives of residents? He said that Adriana used her OWN phone for town business.

  I said, "Your town is to cheap to buy a phone for official business?" Like the answers he was giving were bizarre and he was so proud that there was NO accountability at the Town office.

  I want to know, "Where is my due process?" I even told Arnold that this meeting was NOT a real investigation, it was just him hurling insults at me and implying that I am lying, and he is doing all of this behind my back. I told the Mayor that I want an apology, and I want it to be a public apology. He scoffed at that idea of accountability of his town employees, and said, "Well that is NEVER going to happen."

  I am deeply offended and now I am even MORE terrified of the Town and their intimidation tactics to drive me off of my land that I paid CASH for! I look at every human in town now with fear and distrust of their intentions. A corrupt Town that believes in terrorizing seniors that are disabled. Wow, what a bunch of heroes this Hellhole turned out to be.(Sic)

Arnold Deboon encourages Bylaw to threaten and harass a disabled Senior citizen in need of disability supports

   Yesterday morning at 10:00 a.m. I had a meeting with the town of Creston's Mayor. I was the one who initiated the meeting to deal with the ongoing threats, harassment and intimidation measures unleashed on me by the Town of Creston.

  I had made a previous post {http://www.brentmcgillis.net/2021/09/constant-town-threats-and-harassment.html} regarding the abuses that I was subjected to by Adriana Snashall, when she was the Bylaw Officer for the Town of Creston, B.C. During my discussions I suggested that Adrianna was no longer working for the Town of Creston because she was going around the town terrorizing Senior citizens that are new to town and that simply want to build a new house on THEIR own property, that was bought and paid for with CASH!

  Arnold Deboon is NOT the loving and caring volunteer of the community that he professes himself to be to his 12 friends on Facebook, he was callous rude and I am deeply offended by his flip and accusatory demeanor. Talk about a CYA from the politburo.

  This guy Arnold DeBoon is 100% Cover your own ass, is my assessment. 

CYA is the acronym {https://www.dictionary.com/browse/cya}that exemplifies Arnold Deboon's all round demeanor and his approach to dispute resolution. Arnold uses this as his main operating platform [CYA} from which he launches into his Gas lighting technique to throw you off balance in any discussion from start to finish and everything in between. If I did not know better, I would swear this guy had majored in political science in College for sure. He does not speak with the polished demeanor of a University Grad, he lacks the professionalism for that level of career Govt slacker.

  He may not even have a College degree, unless it was a religious College like https://arts.ucalgary.ca/political-science. His only people skill appears to be Gas-lighting people, I wonder if he was ever a security guard, he has that demeanor in my mind. Donald J. Trump utilizes exactly the very same technique throw any complainant or opponent off balance and this tactic is meant to insult first, demean and then finally accuse the complainant of some kind of nefarious behavior, whether or not his accusations are truthful or not is a totally moot point. His tactic is designed to make you question your own sanity because he is making accusations with absolutely NO evidence.

  He directly leveled accusations that; I lied about my encounters with Adriana Snashall during the encounters that led up to her phoning me on my cell phone and threatening to FINANCIALLY BURY ME in the fall of 2021. I was deeply offended by his false accusations gas lighting me.

CURIOUS: If my recounting of events is fabricated, then WHY would I make the post I did on September 24th, 2021? Here is the link to the Sept 24th, 2021 post on my Blog.

My Blog is now, and has always been a Online Diary of all of my disabled struggles over the years. That is what I created my Blog for, it is a living document of my life as a disabled person.

  That act of threatening to "Financially Bury me" by Adriana Snashall in the fall months of 2021, was a Gross violation of my human rights because the Government of British Columbia is NOT in the business of empowering Towns to go around threatening to financially ruin taxpayers for the crime of being a disabled Senior citizen. 

  I must have missed that political event that gave the Mayor and his crony Bylaw Abusers the same powers of the Hitler Brown Shirts to strip citizens of their dignity, vilify the targeted taxpayer and reduce them to the status of a "Sub-human", a non-citizen, a citizen that deserves NO rights.

  The Christian Religion as a whole, the Catholic Church, the Anglican Church have been using their religious Bully Pulpit to dehumanize and strip native peoples of their rights and dignity within communities for hundreds of years now. They used their religion to steal children from their families so they could use their perverted clergy to mentally and physically abuse aboriginal children left in their care by the Govt of Canada.

  I am one such child, I and my 7 brothers and sisters were scooped up in the Sixties Scoop and stolen from our parents in 1962, I was 2 years old. I and my siblings are the survivors of the Sixties Scoop. I was stolen from my parents when I was 2 years old, and brought up as a Ward of the Government. I know what it is to be stripped of my rights as a child by the Government, once you loose your rights as a human being in Canada, you will NEVER get them back.

  Being reduced to sub-human status as my good standing in the community of Creston, as the Mayor has labeled my name as an unreliable person of poor moral character and attaching the label of LIAR to my name only re traumatizes me as a stolen Ward of the Government with NO rights as a human being in my community that I have chosen to retire in.

  I told the Mayor that I am extremely SORRY that I decided to retire to the Town of Creston. And further to that heart shattering idea, that I severely regret having the Dream that I could retire in peace in a Town like Creston. I told the Mayor, that I have had this Dream since I first visited the valley 40 years ago. I am physically and emotionally shattered by the abusive determination of the Town of Creston to KILL my dream and chase me from my retirement property. He face was blank with a complete lack of emotion, devoid of any empathy or compassion for a disabled Senior citizen, with extreme disabilities because I am in constant need of my Motorhome to be with me and present in close proximity on my property while I develop the lot for my Dream retirement home.

  I fully explained to the Mayor the nature of my disabilities, that I suffer from Chronic Pain and that as a side effect of Chronic Pain, that I also suffer from Chronic fatigue. He told me that he did not care. I told him that he and his Town Bullies are denying me enjoyment of my property and the right to develop my property, that he is just putting up barriers that it is implied, he KNOWS that I can never climb these barriers to success.

  I am heartbroken, because the Mayor knows for a fact, that as a disabled person I will NEVER be able to achieve my Dream as long as he is Mayor and his Bullies continue to taunt me with their bureaucratic nonsense. I told him and I told Adriana Snashall that they have to provide accommodations for my disability, by allowing me to have my Motorhome present for me to rest in while I build the house.

  In his tiny Byzantine bureaucrat world, he simply CANNOT wrap his head around the idea of helping out your neighbor that is disabled. Like what do these Bullies like Arnold LaBoon do in their spare time, KICK small dogs?

  I was brought up by my foster parents, who were farmers. We were brought up in a neighborhood where you help out your neighbor, you don't run through his wet concrete, kick sand in his face while he is working, and get on the phone to Bylaw every time you see a disabled person on his OWN land. No, you go over and you give him a helping hand, especially if he or she is a Senior citizen. That is how we were raised, that is how we grew up in our neighborhood of Dovercourt in Edmonton. We worked hard and we helped our neighbors, as a family. It is the farmer, my foster father that told me when I was young, "There is no shame is hard work, no matter what the job."

  This abusive Bullyism by the neo-Nazi Town of Creston is something so foreign to my eyes, I am just completely unfamiliar with townspeople that want to kick and shoot your dog out of pure malicious spite. I am unfamiliar with the deliberate Corporate Malice being practiced in the Town of Creston. This kind of human behavior, and deliberate mental cruelty imposed on a disabled person is so far beyond my scope of comprehension, it is very distressing mentally and it is very upsetting. I am forbidden from enjoying the fruits of my own property. I worked very hard in my lifetime, because my father taught me that there is no shame in hard, back breaking physical work. Hard work is a theme that is celebrated within the walls of the 720 Ironworkers Union in Edmonton. Ironworkers do not shy away from hard work and never have.

You would not even treat a dog with this much cruelty, the ONLY explanation I can find in my mind is that this level of cruelty towards a disabled human being can ONLY be driven by Racism. It is that pure and simple that a Town and their officers of the court could be so cruel and discriminatory in their behavior, there is no other legit explanation of their pattern of behavior.

I have $200,000 CAD reasons tied up and invested in my property in Creston and the Mayor has doubled down accusing me of lying, and he just buttressed the Town's behavior in the abusive treatment that I suffered under the constant threat of economic ruin by harassment and the intimidation of Adriana Snashall, and now the abuse and continues. Now the Mayor is threatening to SELL my property at a closed auction by the Town of Creston.

A closed auction that will without doubt be restricted to "Townie Cronies" that seek to force me off of my legally titled land, simply for the crime of being disabled.

This is one sick Town. I urge ALL Canadians to avoid the backwater hillbilly town of racism and abuse. If you are a person of Color DON'T come to Creston, there are almost NO minorities living here other than South Asians that run the Orchards. This town is so pasty white that even God wears sunglasses to hammer down the Caucasian glare. I never see native people in town, why is that?

  I don't know where that the Mayor, Arnold Deboon got his predisposition to besmirch my good name. In a small town your reputation is everything because the only thing people have to do is to gossip and spread rumors. When somebody with the Bully pulpit of the Mayors status in a small town is going around telling the other towns people that I am a bad person, that has a chilling effect on how others within the town interact with you.

 This behavior has had an extremely chilling effect on me, I fear now that the Town of Creston will financially punish me for speaking truth to power, much more for my own safety because I fear all of those around me, I don't know who those people are, who have decided that it is desirable for the Town of Creston to cause deliberate physical, mental and emotional abuse to me because I am not white like them.

  When the Mayor and the town Bylaw officer are going around spreading false innuendos and corrosive lies about your character as a human being, this is precisely the kind of "Whisper Campaign" that denies the target (Brent McGillis):

 A.) You access as a property owner the right to fair and impartial treatment by your neighbors.

 B.) It is a direct attack on your good standing in the community.

 C.) After you have been identified as a "Bad person of low moral character", that I am characterized by the Mayor as being a Liar that is making up stories about the Town Bylaw officer that was employed by the town in 2021. After you are trash talked all over town and besmirched by the Mayor, your neighbors will severely distrust anything you do or say.

  I am now and will in the future, be discriminated against by town officials especially Bylaw that has deliberately discriminated against myself as a taxpaying citizen living within the boundaries of the Town of Creston. The Mayor of Creston SUPPORTS abusing disabled Seniors, he does so by falsely accusing me of lying with NO evidence to support his whisper campaign. I fear the Town and their ham-fisted approach to dispute resolution within the boundaries of the Town of Creston.

 Now I have to live in fear of the people in my chosen retirement town. The town itself is now solidly planted in the idea that I am a person of low moral character, and I have absolutely NO recourse for this kind of false accusatory behavior by the Mayor and abusive treatment by the obviously racially bigoted and discriminatory targeting by the Town Council of Creston.

  I can only assume that the entire Town council seeks crucify me on the steps of City Hall with NO evidence of any these falsely accusatory racial dog-whistles by the Town of Creston, where Mayor Arnold is false accusing me of lying to the Town officials. I now can only assume the entire Town Council is racist, I have no other information to indicate anything other than this is just an old Town lynching.

  Now I have brought up the fact that the current Bylaw officer employed by the Town of Creston is Dwayne MacKenzie. In the follow up to the departure of Adriana Snashall because she is a Conspiracy theorist, the Town of Creston has hired Dwayne MacKenzie from Leduc, Alberta. As an ex-patriot of Alberta he would be extremely familiar with people who are anti-vaxxers like Adriana Snashall.

The true colors of corruption come shining through Dr. John Cowell, Kline's WCB henchman

   It has been revealed this week that Dr. John Cowell, the old crony of Drunk Ralph's Progressive Conservative Government is guilty of wasting taxpayers money.

  That Dr. Cowell is guilty of being "Out of touch" with the voting electorate. Dr. John Cowell was NEVER in touch with voters or with regular on the street Joe-hard working citizen. Dr. John Cowell was the elitist that fucked over WCB recipients, this is going back like 30 ago. http://www.brentmcgillis.net/2017/10/

  For sure what is going on here is that the current version of the PC Government of Ralph Kline is that they are simply Re-hashing the old PC Party policies.

A.) Cowell had spent the millions he bilked WCB injured workers out of back in the 90's, and he seriously needed to return to the "PC Govt BOTTOM-less PIT of money in Edmonton so that he can prop up his Rock star lifestyle of spending taxpayers money like it is coming out of a Firehose.

B.) In typical PC Govt fashion the current PC's (UCP) needed a Henchman to do the dirty work of firing CEO's and any kind of organized trouble makers with AHS that could make life difficult for Daniel Smith as she hacks and chops her way to fully privatized medicine in Hellberta.

  Nothing NEW to see here, this is just Ralph Kline 2.0, a newer and easier to chew on form of Progressive Conservative politics and this is Daniel Smiths regurgitated old policies of Ralph Kline where she is prepping the Alberta Health Services for the switch over to Fully Privatized Health Care delivered by American Giant Health Care providers from Houston, Texas.

  There is nothing new here, the same old Kline privatization model, the SAME old cronies like Dr. John Cowell and the same old American Healthcare providers. Ralphy may be dead and in the grave but Daniel Smith is picking up the torch of Drunk Ralph and running with it.

  Like I have always said about Alberta, "In Hellberta it is STILL 1959."

Danielle Smith fires AHS board, appoints Dr. John Cowell as head of Health Services

  Dr. John Cowell is a 100% confirmed WCB Hacks and Quacks crony doctor that will say anything and DO anything in order to deny Seriously Injured Workers access to "Proper, timely and RELEVANT" medications, treatments and referrals to competent Specialists that ARE NOT part of the WCB Hacks and Quacks Network of quacko doctors!

Alberta is SO SCREWED now, the people of Alberta really have NO IDEA how dangerous this individual is to the delivery of Healthcare in Alberta.

Dr, Joh Cowell was the chosen "Hatchet Man" for Ralph Klein when Ralphy decided to screw every injured worker in Alberta for ALL of Eternity! It is all here in my blog post. http://www.brentmcgillis.net/2017/10/

This guy, Dr, John Cowell actually believes in the SNAKE OIL that Dr. Phil was selling on Network Television. That Quacko Snake Oil is known as "Neuroplasticity" https://www.thebritishacademy.ac.uk/publishing/review/30/neural-plasticity-dont-fall-for-hype/

WCB tries to convince YOU that your failed Spinal Surgery is ALL in your head and that all they need you to do is go ALL in with this Quacko fake medicine, and then they will get you to sign off to be CUT OFF of pain medications because they KNOW for a fact this will drive you to take your own life rather than suffer the pain with no medication.

Be AFRAID, be very very AFRAID, this guy is dangerous to the Health and Safety of ALL humans under the purvey of his authority! I am serious.

Peace out

   I am tired, so tired. Tired of begging doctors for help, tired of begging pharmacists for the simple task of filling my script. I have spent the last 2 and a half years trying to get a doctor so that I can retire in the East Kooteneys.

 The East Kootenay primary care unit has been established for people who do NOT have a doctor, and that are in need of urgent primary care in the region have access to the medical care and treatments that they as medical patients require to LIVE are available to them, as a basic human right in Canada.

 The Government of British Columbia recognizes that "ACCESS to Healthcare" in this province is the fundamental Keystone to our basic Human rights as Canadians.

 These rights have been enshrined into our Charter of Rights and Freedoms and are key elements that form the foundation of our Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

 This is the basic right to NOT be discriminated against BECAUSE of my injury!

 Our government (or any private medical provider) that is LICENSED by our Govt to operate within our borders cannot discriminate against patients on the basis of their medical conditions, disabilities or INJURIES. 

  These Rights are enshrined to protect Canadians within the confines and structural makeup of our most basic of Institutions. Hospitals, clinics, imaging and treatment facilities are forbidden from discriminating against ANY nationality OR Race, or color of skin Canadian.

  This includes discriminating against any disabled person who is dependent on medications that are critical to their very survival, simply because of deeply embedded and preconceived ultra Right Wing Conservative Dogma!

Here is the so called "Agreement" that I was forced to sign under DURESS! How is this application of threats of refusing to write me a prescription be in any way or fashion considered to be a legal binding agreement? 

Forced Agreement Under Duress 



 Chronic Pain patients such as myself as an Injured Iron worker struggle to complete even the most basic of tasks on most days. If it involves bending over, it inflicts high levels of pain in my back. I had received years of Botox "Trigger Point injections", until my vertebrae no longer feels most pain when you touch my back.

These were in response to a WCB Hacks and Quacks crony doctor at the Healthpointe phony Spinal Care facility in the HYS Center across from RAH in Edmonton. Dr Garvin Chueng DUG his thumbs into my back and I jumped off the exam table screaming. I immediately started putting on my jacket as the tears of pain streamed down my face, and said, "I am going home, you hurt me".

Dr. Adelemi Adebayo who was my doctor for 13 yrs immediately issued a letter to the phony Healthpointe Clinic instructing them, that at no point in their interactions were any of their doctors to touch my back in any way.

I have been thrown out of doctors offices, rehabilitation facilities because the medical personnel are tightly clinging to embedded misinformation belief system that because a patient is dependent on Opiates as a treatment regimen, that we are BAD people who they see as Drug Addicts!

  I am not a drug addict, I got hurt at work. I am being persecuted because I went to work and suffered a spinal injury. Call it what it is, it is a severe injury to my Spinal column. And guess what? It hurts, it really, really hurts.

  If you cut me off of the opiate Percoset that I have been on since the day I was released from the hospital on March 12th, 2006 any number of kooky doctors could potentially KILL me.

{Think about this reality for a moment: Do YOU have to face a mortal threat to your life every time you go to the doctor for medications that you have taken without side effects for OVER 16 years now?}

 You (CPCC) have deliberately and consciously with "Malicious Intent" have made an attempt to inflict injurious harm on a patient that informed your Nurse Practictioner that I was without sleep for 30hrs and that I had run out of my BLOOD PRESSURE pills MORE than 10 days ago!

  The idea that my life could be endangered by being cut off of my pain medications, is not something I just cooked up in my own mind. This is what the University of Alberta Chronic Pain Clinic wrote in a letter to my doctor (Dr. Adebayo) 10 years ago. 

  I struggle every DAY! I live a life of horror because of the Chronic Pain that I suffer, this what I told the RCMP when they visited me in the bus. If you had to live this life you would take your own life because of the extremely high level of pain that I experience, EVERY minute of EVERY hour of EVERY day is when I could be stricken with the horrors of "Breakthrough Pain". 

  And then on top of that, to be discriminated against by so called medical doctors, nurses and Nurse Practitioners that cling to the misinformation of their Right Wing political belief systems is even MORE horrifying; because it means that any ONE person within this Primary Care System can DENY me care. Or they can write a malicious report based on their pre-conceived prejudices or make derogatory comments based on their concealed racism that now becomes "Permanent Medical STAINS" on my medical history!

 Racism and Prejudice is a very subtle thing that Govt workers conceal very well, because as part of their Union agreement THEY cannot be discriminated against, or they themselves cannot be CAUGHT discriminating or they could face Govt penalties. So racists within a Govt institution know that they need to be cautious and very subtle in how they discriminate against clients.

 How do I know this, because my WCB Claims Manager Wendy Hockney was a racist and she denied me the right to my own files for my lawyer and to all medical treatment, and denied me the right to Appeal for 12 years. Her OWN family outed her as a racist on Facebook after she was run over by a Garbage Truck in downtown Edmonton, in response to comments I made about her abusive prejudice in my Blog. I told the Nurse Practictioner at CPCC about the Institutional Racism that exists and infects the Alberta WCB.

 She seemed indifferent and uninterested, because I told her that I had been traumatized. Oh, do you want to see a social worker was her reply.

  My experience on Friday Oct. 21, 2022 has re traumatized me, when it became clear that this bogus doctor had acted with malicious intent. I left the pharmacy and went home and cried myself to sleep.

  I live in constant FEAR every day, that one of these right wing Clinical practitioners will write something in my file that will force me to take my own life is something that terrifies me and haunts my mental synapses within my brain: day and night. It is like being hunted by the Conservative Taliban that we call the CPC, because they will utilize ANY means they can to punish you, discriminate against and deny you care based on their preconceived Corporatization notions of my condition.

  Every time that I am cut off of medication because my doctor as was the case of Dr. Adebayo was over prescribing pain meds to god knows how many patients, my life is put into Mortal Danger. This is a real and reoccurring theme within our Healthcare system. I asked Adebayo on the day that he showed me his computer screen as proof to me that he was prescribing in excess of 20,000 pain meds per month.

  I looked at the monitor and then I looked the doctor in the eye and asked, "What does this have to do with MY medical care?"

 He told me that he needed to unload patient, a lot of patients. I was dumbfounded, and I realized at that moment that my life and my mortality on this Earth was in clear and present danger!

Doctors BEWARE Spoiler ALERT!! Dr. Adebayo does not realize that it was the WCB that ratted him out to the College of Physicians. I discovered these conversations between the WCB Claims managers about ratting Adebayo out to the College when they released my entire file to me.

 The WCB of AB not only seeks to harm patients, the WCB backstab doctors who try to administer treatments to seriously injured workers TOO!

  Process that idea for a moment and then ask yourself, "What would YOU do if you were seriously injured at work or in your car; and your doctor sprung this news of his infidelities within the construct of the College of Physicians; that have shown a real reoccurring inability to regulate themselves much less the doctors that they reign over with powers given to them by the provincial Govt?

Until our Healthcare is run by the Federal Govt, workers and patients will continue to receive substandard care from our Healthcare system is my opinion.

  How do we fix this? The only answer is to make our Healthcare system a National regulated Industry, the provinces have shown for at least 5 decades now that THEY do not posses the ability within their own FUBAR Healthcare systems to CHANGE!

  Nor do they WANT to change their little Fiefdoms of power. Why do you think that is an unmovable goal post? MONEY! It always comes down to money, that is the curse of private Industry and this is why FUBAR Healthcare systems will NEVER change! The people involved are ALL consumed with greed, it is the natural curse of Free Enterprise and privatization.

 The people in charge are Toadies and and corrupt Cronies of private clinics and their greedy doctors that run these clinics, and they FUNNEL patients to THEIR private clinics. I will be dead and in the grave before this system of greed that drives the WCB to abuse injured workers EVER changes. That is the reality in Healthcare for decades now, it won't change, the doctors, clinics and imaging facilities are all making TOO much money! For these kinds of Neo-Con Doctors GREED champions over patient care.

  Patient care? Hah, that is a cruel and unnatural truth in Hellberta and because doctors and clinics across the country all SEE how much their counterparts in Hellberta are making; this is all the motivation they need to pack up and move to Hellberta where all the Oil money flows like water. 

This is the WHY in the whole FUBAR medical system across Canada. The MONEY imbalance draws in the medical professionals like flies to a porch light at night.

  I am being discriminated against BECAUSE my body is reliant on pain medications that are in a dosage form that I can manage, as I told the doctor yesterday. I explained to her that I had already been subjected to the antidepressant Cymbalta by the WCB Hack doctor at the U of A Chronic Pain clinic over 10 years ago!

 Here is the link for the corrupt WCB Hack doctors like Garvin Chueng and Dr. Dimitry Yakunchikov that did with deliberate and conscious knowledge deny me the "Right to proper, timely and relevant care" by referring me to the WORST Chronic Pain clinic (Healthpointe) for Spinal care in ALL of Edmonton. This clinic is for the Insurance providers and the WCB to DENY you care, don't go there! These guys at Healthpointe are crooked and malignant WCB Crony doctors who are EXPERT at denying you care.  

 When I was abused as a patient at the Uof A Chronic pain clinic, the quack doctor ALSO had subjected me to high dosages of Prednisone as well, that experience almost killed me. I cannot stress how dangerous this drug Prednisone is, Beware!

  He was prescribing me Cymbalta at the SAME time while telling me every time I seen him and complained how I was becoming sicker and sicker, he would say, "Oh, well we will just have to double your dosage! Finally I had to tell Yakunchikov that I cannot do this anymore, you are killing me. I told the kooky doctor at CPCC while under extreme duress and physical exhaustion about my horrific Cymbalta experience.

  She simply blew-off my recounting of that experience with anti-depressants combined with the Prednisone and said, "Oh well we will just have to try it again."

Like what in the hell is really going on here?

This is a direct attack on my character as a patient. Her poisonous and malicious attack on my character is her attempt to: CEMENT her false narrative into MY Medical History at the Cranbrook Primary Care Clinic that I am simply a drug addict. She is attempting to besmirch my good name and standing at the clinic by trying to trigger a negative response from myself.

 Prednisone made my glands on my neck swell up until I looked like a Chipmunk, because my neck was so swelled up. I also told her about the encounter that I had with the Saleswoman from the manufacturer of the bogus "Fake Weed" drug known as Nabilone: {While being treated at the U of A Chronic Pain Clinic}. 

  She seemed unfazed by all of these facts and plowed forward with he own per-conceived ideas of how the Anti-depressant drug Cymbalta works. I had told her that they tried that drug on me and it did nothing other than to get me so spaced out that I could not drive a car, she blew that off like I was not even talking to her.

She acted like a zombie that was impervious to everything that I have experienced and been subjected to in OVER 16 years, I am in such a depleted state that I did not at that time during this visit to the CPCC recognize that Nurse Practitioners are nurses posing as real doctors is a real and present danger to both my mental AND physical Health.   

 In my opinion she is not qualified enough to be writing any opinions on my condition as a doctor because she lacks the commitment necessary to be a doctor with enough skill and training in Orthopedic Spinal Injuries. And further: since her opinions on my condition are clearly based on a lack of training, they should be struck from my medical record, just as her bogus Agreement that she obviously Downloaded from the Internet; should be withdrawn.

 In legal terms: It is unlawful for any Govt officials to FORCE patients to sign Legal Binding documents while that person is under severe Duress. This is a widely accepted Legal defense for any person being abused by Govt officials, who are in positions of power. Forcing persons under duress into legal binding agreements is a form of intimidation and needs to be called out as such.

 Now she reveals that I am required to recall and to recount EVERY single drug that the WCB has exposed me to and to remember EVERY single detail and the doctors names and the clinics that did these crimes against humanity to me? WTF? WTF is going in here?

Her assertion that I must now PROVE what drugs were tried on me over 10 YEARS ago is patently absurd, I am insulted and now ashamed that I trusted this new clinic in Cranbrook. She has put my life in MORTAL danger.

 There will be a clear and fortified response to this abuse of power by this doctor, I can assure you of this. I am having the legal papers drawn up once I go to Kelowna and meet with my Human Rights lawyer. I have contacted lawyers here in BC this morning in consultation with lawyers I know in Edmonton for a quick response to this attack on my medical character and patient at CPCC. I will drive to Kelowna with or without medication, I will make this pledge before I die from Opiate starvation after being on the SAME medication for 16 1/2 years now.

This kind of wanton abuse by a doctor is WCB AB initiated and spawned attack on my life, that is clearly unwarranted an unlawful. I have already submitted possibly close to 100 documents just to have a prescription written for a pain medication that I have been on for 16 and 1/2 YEARS! With NO side effects! Process that fact for a moment if you will.

 It took me 6 months of driving back to Hellberta EVERY 30 days in order to try and comply with the documents that the CPCC Clinic was demanding I produce, BEFORE they would even write 1 prescription for my pain meds.

 {Footnote: $500CAD round trip in gasoline for my 3/4ton truck=1500kms} 

  There is NO justification within the realm of medical care to justify this kind of horrible medical care by a physician that clearly had decided within her own mind that when she was done with me, that she was going to "Bring down the hammer" and do a complete 180 on my treatment regimen!

  My treatments that I was receiving were at the direction of Dr, Rashad, a REAL Chronic Pain specialist in Edmonton. I was without medical care for many months before Debb Goodspeed found doctor Rashad. As stated earlier, the difficulty in finding a doctor to treat me cannot be overstated when you are a Chronic Pain sufferer such as myself. He was a compassionate and caring doctor, that just like Dr. Adebayo truly saved my life. My blood pressure today was 184/165 today, I was in the throws of a true medical Crisis brought on by this new Nurse Practitioner, who is clearly a pseudo-doctor driven by WCB false propaganda and dogma.

  I categorically reject her glib solutions that have ALREADY been tried, we spent over 1/2hr discussing treatments that were tried unsuccessfully by doctors that are FAR more qualified, and compassionate who rely on factual evidence based medicine. And yes some of those Doctors are definitely far more qualified to be making these observations and treatment decisions.

  If I have to die because of this abusive doctor, I can assure you there will be a response. I worked my entire life building this country, and I will not be torn down by a WCB Insurance driven hack doctor like she is, I can guarantee you this.

  I believe that she is a racist, she seemed completely unconcerned and unfazed by my recount of what has transpired in my medical condition and the circumstances surrounding my injury. I am now appalled at what has happened at the CPCC because when I asked her if she was going to order some blood tests, and she replied, No.

  Q.) If you as a doctor were to make such a colossal and wholesale change to the drug medication regimen that I have been taking for 16+ years, don't you think that you as a doctor would want to have some base level data about my current medical condition in order to make any future comparisons and to ensure that the data was accurate and more importantly: as evidence of what HARM these massive changes that you as a doctor are making to my body?

The alarm WCB alarm bells started ringing in my head when:

A.) She was completely Ignoring Every-thing that I told her.

B.) By intentionally NOT faxing my prescription over to the Shoppers Drug Mart as I requested. I believe that she knowingly did NOT send that prescription because she NEW that the Clinic was NOT open on the weekend and the suffering that she would impart on my clinical health by denying me access to my Percoset medications!

  What she did was a clear attempt on my life, knowing what kind of stress and exhaustion that I was suffering from as I clearly told her that I had driven ALL night to make this appointment. What would YOUR response be to a doctor that has clearly made a deliberate attempt on your life with her WCB Insurance industry Hacks and Quacks style of medicine?

How shocking is that revelation?

I even asked her if she was going to refer me to a REAL Spinal orthopedic surgeon, and she acted like she did not even hear the question. Like WTF is really going on here. I was interrogated by her for half an hour. That is what it felt like now that I have had time to reflect on this experience because I have NO Pain killers.

  This is WCB Crimes against my mortality, all over again.

How can I retire her and how can I possibly go on in life, it feels like 2006 all over again when I was first cut off of Percoset, and that was when I became homeless because the WCB cut me off benefits, my bank account was closed because WCB bounced a cheque for my bank account. My bank then closed my account, and I was unable to open another account at a bank for years after that, I was bankrupted by the WCB and an abusive Claims manager. It was horrific, I WILL NOT go through that attempt on my life again. This experience on the 21st day of October in Cranbrook is re-opening all of those wounds on my mental health all over again.

  I won't do it, I refuse to participate in the WCB's attempt to END my life prematurely. I will take my own life and die with honor before that ever happens, this promise I make before my God and with absolute resolution and commitment to denying the WCB of Alberta OR the province of BC the enjoyment of sending me to the grave before my time on this Earth is here.

  I also told her that I have been traumatized by the Institutionalized racism at the WCB, that sent my father to the grave prematurely. My father fell off of a flat roof in 1962 and our entire family was ripped to pieces with all of my siblings being thrown to the four winds when I was 2 years old. WCB abused my family and my father, my father ended up drinking himself to death as a result. My father became very bitter and he too became homeless as a result. 

  I told her that the abuse that I experienced in Alberta was NO accident, this was  I was crying while telling her this. I told her about my father and how the 2 events, separated by 40 years, 2 separate crimes waged against 2 members of the SAME family was NO accident!

  What happened to my family was "Institutionalized Racism" at the hands of the WCB of Alberta, I told this hack doctor. She acted like she did not even hear what I had just told her. My fatigue prevented me from making a rational reaction to her indifference of what was happening within this doctors appointment.

  I have been medically ambushed by WCB Hacks and Quacks before, this is NOT my first Rodeo. This is what is known as "Systemic Racism". 

Where are my Rights under The Charter of Rights and Freedoms? Where is my guaranteed Rights to Freedom of movement?

  What has transpired here with the abuse of my rights by this Fake WCB driven doctor is a clear violation of my Freedom of movement Rights under section 2 of the Charter.

  By denying me access to proper, timely and relevant medical treatments, medications and referrals as I requested from Ms. Quackman of the WCB school of abusive and phony medical treatments she has denied my my Rights under:

Section 6, subsection 2:

 (a) to move to and take up residence in any province; and

 (b) to pursue the gaining of a livelihood in any province.

  I explicitly explained to this hack doctor that I had purchased a property in the neighboring town and that if I did not have ACCESS to a real doctor that can treat my Chronic pain that my retirement dream was dead. That I would not be able to live in B.C. 

  Again, Crickets. I was so tired and now under extreme duress from this interrogation that she was subjecting me to, that I was not able to push back against her obvious racist driven ideology that she was PUSHING on me like an eager street Drug Dealer.

  I had never anticipated that the WCB had poisoned the waters of the CPCC too!

She seemed unfazed and asked if I would like to see a Social worker. This is how trauma patients are treated at the CPCC? Outrageous is my opinion.

  Further, this abusive treatment at the hands of this abusive doctor is what I now believe; that she seen as a clear opportunity to deny me my Rights under the Charter:

  A.) This was a targeted attack on my Rights, because I had phoned ahead the day before on Thursday the 20th day of October, 2022. I told the reception that I was in Edmonton, and that I would have to drive ALL night to get to the appointment.

  B.)  I now believe from driving that I was compelled to sleep out of sheer exhaustion and that she concocted this plan to deny me the right to fair and equal treatment that would have been afforded to a white person, pasty white like herself. As a consequence of her plotting to deny me the right to proper care, she seen my exhaustion as a clear opening for her to drive straight on past any kind of defense mechanisms that I would have when well rested.

  Crony doctors like this Nurse Practictioner acting as an agent of WCB Hacks and Quacks Doctors, had a full day to prepare her focused and deliberate attack on my credibility and an abusive attack on my reputation as a patient and as a Citizen of Canada.

I believe in my mind that refusing to treat me with proper medications, in a timely manner and with drugs and treatments that are relevant to my condition that the CPCC has denied me the right to: 

Everyone has the right to life, liberty and security of the person and the right not to be deprived thereof except in accordance with the principles of fundamental justice. Lets break down this section.

Life:

I am not afforded the luxury of life because my medications are under constant threat of being cut-off. So as a consequence of this never ending threat for the last year I do not get to enjoy what other Canadians take for granted, and that privilege is life.

Liberty:

I cannot travel freely in this country because every time during the last 2 years, I have to remain within driving distance to my doctors, or suffer a medical crisis. When I am cut off I cannot drive any distance without risking a medical episode on the highway. Where is the Liberty in that? When I am out of pain meds I am trapped wherever I am located until I can replenish my medications.

  I am Pappaschase, my mother was born in a Teepee on the Enoch First Nations Indian Reservation on March 28, 1935. She and all of us kids were denied our Indian status because of Scrip that was deemed as an illegal act against the Crown, was initiated by founders of the Commerce Bank and the founder of the Imperial Bank. These shady Bank characters designed and implemented a plan to steal the land of the  Papaschase IR 136 in 1888 through the use of what they called  scrip. Scrip was an illegal plan to steal Indian Reservation land from the Indians, with it's roots being concocted straight out of the United States of America. So that in a nutshell is why our family has always been denied not just status, but the City of Edmonton (The lands south of 51 Ave and west of 122 Avenue is built on top of the unlawful surrender of Papaschase IR 136 that was stolen in 1888).

  I am 3 of 9. The Inter-generational trauma that our family was subjected to cannot be overstated, it has far reaching and mostly negative consequences for survivors and their children.

  I was born in Edmonton, my father was born in Frog Lake, Alberta. His name was Dan McGillis, I was robbed of ever getting to know my natural father, and that breaks my heart as it did for ALL my siblings growing up in foster care. Many of my siblings were bounced from foster home to foster home, Grant and Marilyn both were in dozens of foster homes. For a doctor to just ignore what has transpired here in the focused racist and abusive treatment that I have been subjected to by the WCB of Alberta, and my father is just so insulting. That was when my Spidey senses really started to cause a ringing in my ears, I was too exhausted and physically weak from driving all night to mount any kind of resistance to her drive to strip me of my Rights as a patient (does B.C. have a Patient Bill of Rights?), and as a Canadian.

  So it is only natural as a Indigenous survivor of the 60's scoop, and the denial of any kind of Rights by the Dept. of Indian Affairs and Northern Development (DIAND). I have only ever known abuse by our provincial Govt. and the Federal Govt. for refusing to recognize the descendants of Pappaschase IR 136 as an Indian Band, and to not be recognized by the Feds as Indigenous people really hurts. To be stripped of our land and never being able to grow up with the cultural experiences of our ancestors haunts my dreams.

  My first experiences with racism and being treated differently goes all the way back to the early 60's, when for a time my foster mother would take me down to the Royal Alexander Hospital for experiments that were conducted on me as a young child. I was too young to recall dates or the number of times we had to attend these experiments. They were mostly psychological as I recall, I remember the metal cap with all the wires they would have extruding from it. I would have to lie on a exam table for these experiments and sometimes they would inject me with unknown substances. I remember at the time wondering how come my friends and siblings did not have to do the same experiments on their brains.

  I was a straight A-honor roll student right through Grade nine, then in English 10, I was struggling and getting poor marks for the first time in my life. Then in High school at Ross Shep my English teacher refused to speak to me, when I put up my hand to ask a question she would ignore me. I do not recall her name, but she would only answer questions from the rich white kids, or the Jewish kids. Since for the first time in my life my grades were sinking in English my only weak subject, so I requested to see the counselor. I believe it was a woman, and I told her that I thought my English teacher was racist. She replied, "Oh, that's just the way she is".

  I was immediately pulled from English 10 and put into what we called as teenagers, into the Retard English 15 classes of Reading and a separate class called Writing. We would read like Grade 8 fiction and then we were only required to write primitive reports on these very basic books. Which kind of worked out because the school weed dealer would always show up in the bathroom across the hall every Retard class, interestingly enough he was the smartest kid in the school. That was the second time that I knew that I would never be treated like normal white-man kids for the rest of my life. 

It is bad enough that the Safeway pharmacy abused my rights when they substituted my prescription with their own junky version of Percoset. That was super sketchy behavior from Safeway because they phoned me on my way back from Idaho and told me that my prescription would be ready by 6:30pm. Then the phony pharmacist known as Lyla "Substituted" their cheapo version of my medications. I was unaware of this and went home to rest because it was a long drive to get my auto parts. At 3am I sprung out of bed because the breakthrough pain was now giving me Hot stabbing pains in my spine.

I returned to Safeway and told the pharmacist this, she then instructed me to find a pharmacy in Cranbrook that would have the Teva brand in stock and return, then she would fax the script over to the new pharmacy. That never happened, and when I returned she made me wait like 10 minutes and when I told her I had found a pharmacy that would be able to supply the correct ones, she read me some kind of Corporate script (Keep in mind that She told me to find a drug store that can supply) that she obviously got from head office and started yelling at me

that she did not owe me anything. I told her that without the proper pills that I would fall into crisis. She started yelling "I Don't care! I asked her if she knew what crisis is, she continued to yell over the plexi-glass shield, I don't care!" I snapped at her arrogance, entitlement and her abuse that her entitlement empowered her to grind into my very psyche. I told her THIS is what crisis looks like, as I knocked the plastic shield over and she kept screaming, "I don't CARE! I took the second shield and threw it on the ground, and yelled, "Do you CARE now Lyla?" She yelled, "You can never come back here." To which I replied, "Why the fuck would I Lyla, you don't do anything for me?" And then I walked out of the store.

This past week I have prepared for days to return to Crummy-brook in order to see a doctor at the Cranbrook Primary Care in order to see a doctor and get my pain prescription filled. I drove all night from Edmonton to Cranbrook arriving at 5:30 am. I then slept from about 9am until 1:30pm, and when I awoke I spent over an hour trying to recover in order to make it to the CPCC. I met a doctor, who I have never met before and she riddled me with MORE questions about my last 16 Years as a Chronic Pain patient.

It is important to put this into context as I was under extreme duress at the time, I have been completely OUT of my blood pressure pills for over a week!

She then told me that the blood pressure pills I was taking were BAD, (Metoprolol), and that she was going to recommend another blood pressure pill. Keep in mind that I am in a haze with my blood pressure running at 165/95. On Saturday without my blood pressure pills I was running at 185/162! I could hardly move so finally late Saturday afternoon I drove myself to the Emergency Dept. at Cranbrook general Hospital. I instinctively knew that I was falling into a crisis again. Add to my ongoing Pain Crisis is the fact that I am completely OUT of pain killers (Percoset). Then she announced that I HAVE to sign papers while I am under medical distress from NOT receiving my medication! 

  She forces me to sign this paper or she says that she cannot fill my prescription. I am confused and frightened that this is a set up to deny me any and ALL care here at the Cranbrook Primary care. I was RIGHT. I went to the pharmacy multiple times before they closed and she NEVER sent the prescription, it is now my belief that she did this deliberately in order to stress my body out to the maximum level possible. I have uncovered ANOTHER racist in the medical community.

 This is so clearly an abuse of power by a person of authority, it frightens me and makes me now fear the motivations and intent of the Cranbrook Primary Care Clinic. I am afraid for my life, and that the CPCC seeks to deprive me of my very existence and right to live and reside in Cranbrook or anywhere in BC.

 This doctor engaged in a drive by character assault and in my mind this was clearly an assassination attempt by this abusive doctor. She made an attempt on my life and my character because I believe that she seeks to have me banned from any and ALL medical treatment from CPCC. I am afraid that this clinic also harbors institutionalized racism as well.

She told me that I will have to PROVE what medications the the University of Alberta experimented on me with! Like WTF is going on? That was OVER 10 years ago, they will not have these records on hand. There is no legal requirement for them to keep them.

I now have no choice, it has taken me 2 years of traveling back and forth to Cranbrook, Creston and the Kootenays in order to find a doctor that will treat me, with zero results.

This latest WCB Hack doctor has exhausted my will to continue these efforts, I can't do this anymore I am mentally, physically and spiritually exhausted, I no longer possess the will to live. I cannot fight a corrupt system that is racist and tilted against me, I have no other choice but to take my own life. I don't sympathy, because sympathy for a man who dies because the medical system is corrupt and the giant Corporations that make the drugs I require to live, THEY created this crisis.

The doctor, she told me that the drug companies all create reliable drugs and that they vigorously test these drugs before they are allowed on the market, that is patently FALSE. Read the drug trials on Fentanyl, people were dying during the trials, and the super corrupt FDA went ahead and approved the drug anyways. So naturally the Canadian Govt followed suit and that is how this crisis began.

  Don't feel bad, I had a good life and worked all across Western Canada and the Territories. I worked on the Cold Lake Air weapons range, I have worked across the Territories and right on up to the Arctic Ocean at Tuktoyuktuk. I falsely believed that if you ever got hurt that WCB would take care of you, that idea is a total lie and is rooted in corruption.

  I have suffered, suffered and suffered through 16 and 1/2 years of Chronic Pain and have been cut off of my pain killers beginning 6 months after I fell and shattered my L1 vertebrae. I used to cry myself to sleep at night because I had no meds, no job or prospect of working because I was so crippled up most days. I know pain is and when I do not have any medication to deal with my pain, my mind goes into dark places that are so dark and so deep you will actually believe that you will never be able to climb out of that place ever again. You go to a place where you hope and pray for days that you will die from your pain.

What kind of effect do you think that this constant Yo-Yo ing on and off of critically necessary medications has on my body, and on my brain. I am afraid of no man or no challenge, but I am afraid of the pain when it is untreated because my suffering is so intense. I no longer possess the will to go sit in doctors offices that have NO intention of helping me.

Who created this crisis? The drug companies and the doctors who are ONLY concerned with prescribing you super expensive drugs that they KNOW you have NO COVERAGE for because the WCB refuses to pay for my medications, only for the doctor to spend a half an hour explaining how THEY see the world. Who gives a fuck about a rich doctor that does not give 2 fucks about how much you suffer with a broken back?

These are entitled people who do NOT care how much damage they do to your body, it is not their body, they have never experienced high level pain because of a severe spinal injury they suffered at work. They could care less, they ONLY care about how much kick-backs they get from the big pharmaceutical companies for pushing THEIR drugs!

I don't have the will to fight, and to defend my injury. After over 16 years the medical community has stripped me of the desire to live. I just want to die now and to rest, never to have to spend months looking for a doctor and begging multiple doctors for my right to live and to live in peace while I live out my final years in a severely disabled condition.

I can't do it anymore, I want to rest without fear of doctors or the corrupt Govt's that control them. I just want to die in peace.

Peace Out, I am sorry for having ever possessed the desire to live.

I am tired now and need to rest.

My request for my IME Report from Dr. Reid

  I am posting this request as a matter of making this document a matter of public domain. The reason I have a blog is to catalogue the events in the history of my injury, so I can remember later what happened. As it turns out, I have referred back to my old posts many times in order to reference what precisely transpired. It has been a very useful tool in writing current content and the recall of documents, etc.

Here is the request that I sent 10 days ago and hand delivered it to the WCB offices in downtown Edmonton.

Chronic Pain flare up

   I apologize to anybody who is currently frustrated with my performance as a human being, I am currently typing this post with one eye open because of the severe back pain I am experiencing right now. The pain is very sharp and intense as it feels like somebody is stabbing a knife into my back. This has been an ongoing pain experience for me, I can only assume that there is a monster weather system moving in from the coast or from the Arctic. 

  This time of year is especially painful for me because my body is haunted by the changing weather systems that are typical for this time of year.This knowledge does not make it any easier for me at this time of year. The pain is so intense that it wakes me in the night with hot burning sensations coursing through my spinal column, right now the pain is in the locale of my upper lumbar and the sharpness of the pain is frightening to even me. I have lived with this Chronic Pain for over 15 years now, and it is relentless, it is not like it is getting any easier because it is not.

  The pain that I am experiencing right now is so intense that the only thing that I can do is to write about it with my eyes closed. These are the days that are the most scary for me because the intensity of the pain is one thing, but the thoughts on how to escape this relentless and UN-diminishing torment are a completely different and the horror that flashes before me is difficult and terrifying to deal with.

  I cannot predict the intensity that this injury will affect me, I can only hope that I have the tenacity required to withstand these powerful pain attacks. I have been dealing with this horrific pain for over 15 years now, and it still does not get any easier knowing that my insurer, the Workers Compensation Board of Alberta is only interested in selling me Hocus Pocus fake remedies that Dr. Phil is selling on Cable Television in order to sell more furniture on https://www.wayfair.com.

The pain is too intense at this moment for me to continue writing, I need to rest. More later. I am going to see the Doc later and my Chiropractor, I need some relief just so that I can function on a basic level.

Constant town threats and harassment for an identical violation that was NOT being investigated on the VERY SAME time on my street

 Down at the west end of Ash, where it meets 18 Avenue, the very same violation of this bylaw infraction that Adriana Snashall speaks of was happening and had been going on for a very long time as what I assume was the Contractors Monster 5th Wheel trailer, that was clearly being lived in at the time for the construction of the Monster Home being built on the old orchard that was flattened to make way for Monster Home.

I told Adriana that there was a trailer at the end of the street being used in direct violation of the bylaw that she was accusing me of violating, she assure me she would check it out. I was duped into believing that she had any intention of driving down the street to the corner to the west to verify my claim.

I remember asking her if she drove in from the West, meaning that she would have had to drive right on past the violator on the SAME street. If she was aware of the giant fifth wheel trailer with all of it's sliders out for the entire summer and plugged into the power grid meaning that it was obviously being lived in during construction. This is what amounts to discrimination because she was aware, you could not be unaware this is a small town. It is impossible that the town bylaw officer would not drive right past that monster 5th wheel parked right on the corner of the property beside the road. Since she spent so much time driving down Ash last summer it would be impossible for her NOT to see the monster 5th wheel with all of its sliders extended and plugged into a huge hydro cord. 

Worse yet, it is impossible for her NOT to be aware of this infraction, and how do I know this? Because this is a small town and News makes it across a small town faster than a tornado mowing down a trailer park. There is nothing else to do in a small town except gossiping, it is the natural clique of a small town, to deny that is the case is to tell lies to your friends.

Because Adriana knew about the Monster 5th Wheel just down the street, and she chose to ignore that obvious violator, this is what amounts to discrimination. My obvious question to the Town Council would be, "Why am I being targeted for abuse?"

Who lives in the house on the corner of Ash and 18th Avenue, is it a town councilor violating the town bylaws? Or a close friend of somebody on Town Council that it too high up the Totem pole to be charged with any bylaw infractions? These are legitimate questions for a town bylaw officer that is drunk on a power trip.

Adriana Snashall told me that I was Not Allowed to drive my motorhome into Creston, and that if I did and she determined that I needed to rest in my RV while maintaining my property that she would bury me in fines and penalties in the THOUSANDS of dollars. This is the first time in my life that I have been threatened with financial ruin by a town bureaucrat in any city in Canada.

Even 2 days ago in my discussion with Adriana, I told her of the medical issues that I have faced during this Pandemic that has kept me from traveling. She is fully aware that I am permanently disabled, and told me flat out that she nor the town has any obligation to NOT harass, intimidate and threaten a resident with financial bankruptcy because I am permanently disabled. When I "Hit the Wall" metaphorically when performing tasks about the property that I paid for and pay the taxes on, that is it because my Chronic Pain takes over and I become overwhelmed with fatigue.

What is the #1 complication for Chronic Pain sufferers? Chronic fatigue is the correct answer. I explained to Adriana that this is the reason I absolutely NEED the motorhome on site when I am there because when I fatigue, that is it, I need to lay down ASAP. It just something that is symptomatic of my Spinal Injury and my medical condition overall.

When you suffer from Chronic Pain you are the tail being wagged by the dog named Pain and fatigue. You do not get to choose when Chronic Pain from a failed Spinal Fusion puts you out of commission and you need to lie down and rest immediately. I explained this to Adriana and she acknowledged that she understood my condition. As a result I told her that she needs to make accomodations for my medical condition, she does not have a wide open license to abuse a disabled person, no matter who is directing her to abuse me.

I chose the town of Creston as my retirement home, clearly I made a fatal mistake in choosing to live here because the treatment from the town has been horrific in the midst of a Pandemic. You as a town council need to make allowances for the Pandemic and for the natural implied protection of the Human Rights for severely disabled persons living in your town.

The town website talks about their age inclusion program. Well to be honest, my experience with the town was amicable until last summer during the worst Public Health Crisis in 100 years. As I told Adriana during one of our many discussions where she came by to consistently harass me, she could see my condition and I did as much as I possible could each day in order to satisfy the never ending stream of complaints form one of my Nosy Parker neighbors that insists on phoning the Town office every second day for the specific purpose of of distressing a newcomer to town that only wants to build a home in a sustainable community. My only objectives are to supervise and help out when I can with the design, construction and supervision of my own home that will include all of the physical design features that my medical condition will require now and in the future.

As a patient that has experienced a serious injury to his Spinal Column, that the IME Spinal Orthopaedic Surgeon told us over 3 years ago, "This man will never work another day in his life." As a Severely disabled person, that has obviously mistakenly chose the WRONG Town to live in for my retirement because the Town of Creston does NOT adhere to any of the principles that they claim to champion in the Age-friendly Action Plan. Here are their guiding principles:

Age-friendly Desired Outcomes from Cultivating Creston

1. There is a strong sense of community and belonging in Creston, where everyone feels connected, respected and included.

Sorry, but I do not feel like I belong when the Town Bylaw officer threatens to bury me in a mountain of fines and penalties. It is really hard to feel connected when the welcoming committee is Donald Trump disguised as a woman.

 2. Community members feel safe and their needs are met, including access to housing, nutritious local food, meaningful social interactions, and recreation and leisure pursuits.

I do not feel safe in this community because 1 or more of my neighbors wants to throw up as many roadblocks to me building a house here, because they have Cronies on Council. I have never spoken a mean word to any neighbor since I bought my property, yet somebody on my street has targeted me for Financial Ruin by their Proxy the Town of Creston.

I do not feel welcome or valued in this town because somebody has decided to use the Town as a giant Anvil to drop on my dreams of building my forever retirement home here. The town talks about supporting alternative housing projects. 

They plan to achieve this with threats of financial ruin and I have not even started, while the guy down the street lived in his 5 th Wheel for over a year while the Town sat by and did nothing. When you are targeted and discriminated against, it is really hard to feel valued or respected, and inclusion is a word that I definitely would not use to describe this Town to any human.

  3. Creston is an accessible community, where all ages are valued, they have
opportunities to participate, and there are meaningful connections between the
generations.

Yeah, threatening a disabled Senior with financial ruin is something that you forgot to include in your pamphlet promoting this town. I feel exposed to threats of having my savings erased by a bureaucrat that is threatening me with Thousands in fines if I bring my motor home back to Creston.

What is the leading issue for all political leaders during this past election cycle?

Housing, affordable housing, ACCESS to sustainable housing, that is the reason that I moved to Creston. I could have moved to a thousand other small towns across this great nation, but I mistakenly chose the wrong valley.

When you objectively look at the genesis of any law, or in this case a bylaw, you need to look back to the Spirit of the law that was created and WHY it was created, what was the basis of this law and what was the original INTENT of the creators of this legislation. Or was it the lawmakers intent to simply copy and paste this Law because it was fashionable or a Law that was being promoted by Land Developers at the time with no regard for the actual residents of the Town? If the Town bylaw enforcement is not able to definitely bring up the specific reasons that Town officials created the Law, then does that Law really have any validity other than to please a small clique of developers and Town officials as directed by their cronies? It is a valid question.

Adriana told me that she is from Vancouver, so I replied, "You and your friends are the ones who caused the Housing Crisis in Vancouver." And it is true, the City of Van is overrun with armies of homeless people, like most major cities because affordable housing has been bulldozed and Gentrified, pushing thousands into the streets across Canada.

I already have over $200,000 invested in the property, equipment, tools and construction materials that I have moved here in the last 2 years. If it becomes necessary, I will abandon this foolish venture and sell the vehicles, the construction materials and put the money into moving to a town that has a real welcome mat, not one that make you feel like a door mat. You know, the kind of mat that gets stepped all over.

I need workable solutions to getting this house built, I just spent the last 2 days consulting with Human Rights lawyers here in Alberta, the kind that work in B.C., and it is taking time away from my move and my property maintenance duties in Creston. I need cooperation from the town, and not a giant Financial HAMMER hanging over my head with promises to hammer me with thousands of dollars in fines. For what? To kill a retirement dream for a disabled person. If that is the intention of the Town, then this really puts the Ideals that this town promotes on the Internet in a different light, and is beyond the pale is my opinion.

 When you are confronted by a bureaucracy that promotes punishment over communication and working with the Newcomers towards reaching their potential and their retirement goals, then you are very unlikely to be able to attract new people to fill in for retirees in this community is my opinion.

The town has lost sight of their stated goals on their website, and should start over because your approach is not working is my opinion.

I was looking for a good town when I found this one, and I can find another. 










Town bylaw officer threatens to financially ruin me with penalties and fines for the crime of Medical Need

  There is a subject that I seldom write about because it deals with the subject matter that cuts deep into my psyche, just as it does for many other severely injured and disabled workers, and that is the subject of stress. When you have been severely disabled, my own doctor has warned me of the dangers of stress. That is how I became a patient of Dr. Adebayo. He was deeply worried about the stress that I had been suffering as a result of being denied medical care and medications at the hands of the WCB of Alberta.

Since the days when I first met Dr. Adebayo, when I entered his office suffering from dangerous and life threatening levels of high blood pressure, he had warned me of the dangers of stress. He warned me that I must avoid confrontation that could lead to exceedingly high levels of blood pressure. By the time I had met Dr. Adebayo approx. 13 years ago or so, since being cut-off of my pain medications and I was not on any blood thinners or blood pressure pills.

I had never before in my life had a real Family Physician. I did briefly have a doctor for a couple of months at the Callingwood Medical Clinic, I still remember the day the doctor informed me that he could no longer treat me because the Workers Compensation Board had completely cut me off of benefits. I was devastated and left the clinic and as I hobbled to my truck with no medication, and no hope of getting further treatment I climbed in and sobbed for a half an hour. I cried because instinctively I knew that I was embarking on a life of horror and horrible insufferable pain. I had been cut-off benefits from WCB because I had missed a physiotherapy appointment because the therapist at Remed in the west end had reported me delinquent from my therapy.

I missed my appointment because 1 of their physiotherapists Jay Dunn had engaged in what he called "Deep Massage" on my back. As a patient with a Spinal Injury that was barely 6 months post surgery and I still had the steel bars in my back from Spinal Fusion. So naturally as a direct result of Jay Dunn's callous and obvious lack of training Jay sent me into a downward spiral of mind bending pain as I could not arise from bed the next day. I was cut off because of his lack of training, and decision to dig his thumbs into my back right at my injury site where my vertebrae shattered. This was the beginning of 12 years battling the Workers Compensation Board.

I had never had a family doctor before my accident because I as a general rule did not get sick other than the odd cold. So when you become seriously injured the very first thing you need is a family doctor, this was what the Medicenter doctors told me. Back in those days for the first year for sure I would have to wait in the waiting rooms of Medicenters for 3 or more hours to see a doctor. Quite often this would NOT result in me getting the medications I required as most physicians absolutely flat out refuse to treat any patients that are suffering with Chronic Pain.

I searched for over a year for a doctor that would take me on as a patient, and I had probably at that time visited at least 40 different Dr. offices in the capital region. No doctors would take me as a patient. I went for weeks without medications and would end up in the Emergency dept. of the hospital, and the doctors would help but would always scold me to get a family doctor.

In the early days of my injury I suffered long bouts of depression because of lack of medical treatment and a doctor. The physical effects of no medication along with WCB denial of payment for ANY treatments had lasting physical and elevated mental effects on my health. 

This is how I ended up in Dr. Adebayo's office experiencing extreme high blood pressure from the massive stress that being imposed on my body. I was experiencing something called autonomic hyperreflexia which is a problem with circulatory control and is a potentially life-threatening rise in blood pressure from my Spinal Injury.

Dr. Adebayo really saved my life back in those days because I was would regularly go weeks without any medication at all. My lack of medication was killing me, and quickly because of the enormous physical stress my body was being subjected to.

This post was written as a background piece to in order to give clarity to my condition and how we arrived at this critical moment in time, because time is not something that I have surplus amounts left in my life.

I explained every part of my medical condition in the many conversation the bylaw officer so that she could have a better comprehension and understanding of what I am experiencing in real time. She had told me she used to be an EMT, so naturally I thought that she would have reserved a small space in her heart for empathy and compassion for a human that she should naturally understand that I was bending under the stress that I was experiencing mentally and physically in real time.

Alberta Doctors forcing Injured workers on to Fentanyl laced street drugs

   I am currently in B.C. and have run out of medications because my doctor, Dr. Adelemi Adebayo refuses to give me any more than 2 months of pain medications per visit. This is incredibly difficult for me as I am trying to get all the permits in place for the construction of my retirement home. I have a great deal of difficulty at the best of times in coordinating any kind of trip because of my disability. Most times that I plan a trip of any distance, it takes me days, if not weeks to plan and load all the necessary things that I want to take as well as the things that I will need for my trip as a disabled person. I don't just pack up and jump in the car like fully able bodied persons do, for me it takes time, often a lot of time to prepare for a trip.

  I spoke to my pharmacist today and she told me that it is totally possible to send a triplicate via fax, and that that prescription is recognized anywhere in Canada. Dr. Adebayo told the assistant that that is not allowed, so for me this signals that Dr. Adebayo simply does not WANT to send a prescription. This puts me in a total crisis situation, I am in a small town in B.C., I don't even have a B.C. medical card, this is a crisis of gargantuan proportions for me. This situation IS Precisely the kind of corner that seriously injured workers are driven into by the abusive policies of the Alberta Government.

  The preposterous and fake medical policies of the Kenney Govt. are at the core of what is driving people to overdose on the street, becaue Governments across Canada are DRIVING the opiate overdose epidemic. It is NO Coincidence that immediately after Kenney took office as Premier, that my doctor began choking off supply of my medications. This has downloaded an enormous financial penalty on to people who really need these medications. These abusive policies are KILLING Injured workers who are desperate for relief from the pain they endure every day. Choking off supply of legal medications are choking the life out of legitimate pain suffers across the country.

  Chronic Pain is exactly as described, it is chronic which means it is constant, it never leaves. It haunts your days, your nights and any kind of activity that you decide that you might want to participate in. Chronic pain is relentless, it overpowers anything that you are doing, it will stop you in your tracks if you do not have any kind of pain relief to help you cope with what is a legitimate injury that has been fully recognized by the Workers Compensation Board.

  No surprise for chronic pain sufferers because to add insult to injury, The Workers Compensation Board does not and NEVER has paid for my medications.

  Seared into my mind is the trauma of the night my claims manager phoned me to tell me my appeal of her decision was denied, it was difficult to decipher her message since she was "Screaming insults at me on the phone." She seemed to get an extra boost of evil triumph telling me I was cut off medications forever. Somehow there is a direct connection from some of the demented claims managers schadenfreude behaviors, and the Hocus Pocus psychological miracles that WCB Millard espouses about their CULT Medicine named Nueroplasticity.  

 This policy of forcing seriously injured workers on to the streets of Canada in search of relief from their relentless pain goes back for over 14 years, when I was first cut-off of benefits. The very FIRST time that the WCB cut me off of benefits was 6 months after I fell off a steel rafter and broke my back. Taunting and seriously abusing injured workers who have suffered life altering injuries, combined with the WCB Policy of deliberate pain medications DENIAL produces injured workers who simply cannot cope.

  To this day, the WCB of Alberta does NOT pay for my medications, they refuse to, they told me that was MY responsibility. When I attended the WCB Millard, those crackpots were trying to convince me that their HOCUS POCUS fake science {https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/features/controversial-therapist-shaping-dr-phil-1281050}

 was all that I needed to deal with my chronic back pain! It was outrageously stupid fake medicine that was concocted by American Hacks and Quacks doctors in the U.S., for the explicit purpose of driving seriously injured workers onto the streets of America in search of relief from their terrible suffering.

  The WCB Millard is pushing fake mental health propaganda onto injured workers, with the Nueroplasticity dogma of Dr. Phil and fake Dr. Frank Lawlis. 

  I even challenged the physiotherapy people to produce the peer reviewed evidence that these neuroplasticity techniques really work. I told them,"You are selling fake psychological medicine, the same stuff Dr. PHIL is selling!"

  They were surprised to learn that they were selling the same crap medicine that is sold in the daytime television slot of the networks.

The Alberta WCB has hammered into the Dr Phil fake science into the minds of the completely neophyte victims of this fake Science and what amount to fake Medicine. I challenged the WCB Millard physiotherapists to provide the proof of Peer-reviewed scientific evidence that this the fake treatment of Neuroplasticity is recognized by real scientists and doctors. They could not provide ANY evidence of this Quackery known as Neuroplasticity was anything other than Quack Science that is being promoted on The Dr. Phil Show.

  This series of events that I was subjected to really made me sit back and think about their physiotherapy staff that have been systematically groomed and re-programmed to believe in fake medicine. Worse than their stoic belief in the science of stupidly derived fake medicine is their undying efforts to promote this fantasy medical form of Hocus Pocus (Witchcraft medicine).

  The really amazing thing about the WCB Millards physiotherapy staff and their belief in this form of Dr. Phil generated witchcraft is that these therapists are EDUCATED PEOPLE!

That fact in of itself shows how gullible people who graduated from schools of higher learning (Universities/Colleges) truly are. If people who hold degrees that they got here in Alberta, then this is NO surprise in a province that openly promotes religious dogma and belief in a guy who lives in the sky and sees everything you do, and then stands by idly as people suffer and die. They call this guy God, and Hellberta is full of these dogmatic robots that will believe anything that a guy holding up a bible says.


  And as I suspected the "fake Doctor" behind all of this made up quackery is NOT even a real doctor. He is like Dr. Ho, he has given himself the title of Doctor, when in fact, he carries NO Medical License to practice medicine anywhere. Here is the story of Nueroplasticity in all of it's fantasy, made for television medicine. https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/features/controversial-therapist-shaping-dr-phil-1281050

This is the reality for injured workers who are in real need of medicine like painkillers, but are offered up a plate of Dr. Phil made for television, Hocus Pocus that was created by a guy with no credentials. You can't even make this shit up, but for injured workers this is their reality when they are subjected to treatment at the WCB Millard facility. You get Dr. Phil medicine!

Who the fuck needs to pay for this shit medicine?

Just turn on your television at 3 O'clock, and you can get all the free Dr. Phil medicine that you can possibly need. Right? What a fucked up province. And people want to come here? WHY?

This is Hellberta, that is ALL it will ever be! 

Drunk Ralph's "Alberta Advantage" was built on the backs of injured workers!

That is the fantasy that Hellbertans seek, a phony reality that ensures that corporations will NEVER have to bear the burden of seriously injured workers.

What a sad reality that people in Alberta seek. Snake Oil, promoted by a Snake Oil salesman, Jason Kenney. I hope the Christians get what they deserve. I mean that.
