Although I feel upset and find it hard to say in my own words, I agree with and deeply believe in this excerpt from a two page letter written to New
Democrats and Canadians by Jack Layton on Saturday August 20, 2011 – less than 48 hours before
he died.
Canada
is a great country, one of the hopes of the world. We can be a better one – a
country of greater equality, justice, and opportunity. We can build a prosperous
economy and a society that shares its benefits more fairly. We can look after
our seniors. We can offer better futures for our children. We can do our part
to save the world’s environment…
[W]e can be a better, fairer, and more equal country by working together. Don’t let them tell you it can’t be done.
My friend, love is better than anger. Hope is better than fear. Optimism is better than despair. So let us be loving, hopeful, and optimistic. And we’ll change the world.

Having said that, in my experience, corruption does not flourish without support from the authorities.
It's natural to seek refuge in one's home, and it's a basic human right to seek asylum from persecution. Unfortunately, there is little refuge in a home that feels more like a war zone than a sanctuary, and there's no room for escape for a strata owner blacklisted by BC's evermore powerful strata agency industry of land and building professionals, lawyers, property managers, realtors, and volunteers on council.
The Strata Property Agents of British Columbia is an industry association developed to represent the interests and issues of the many strata management companies - AND THEY DO!
People don't know what hit them. Strata managers oversee elections without nominations, votes are assumed instead of cast at meetings; misrepresentations mislead police, owners, and council; strata records and bank accounts are tampered with; rights are violated and owners are bullied with shocking abuse in a shameless irresponsible power alliance that acts in conflict with no apparent conscience and too little accountability.
I know that protesting against systemic corruption is dangerous, but I am afraid that the legal system is inherently unfair. Corruption and waste too often go from bad to worse when balancing euphemistic competing interests in the name of "compromise" allows profit from wrong-doing at the expense of hapless victims. The quantum of damages that are paid too often fail to compensate for the loss, prevent further misconduct, or invoke corrective action to avoid further harm.
I think justice must be administered in public and better avoid wasteful expenditures of public resources or ruinous costs that prevent or deter the less wealthy from seeking or obtaining remedies for wrongful damage. So in addition to venting frustration and communicating with other owners, the objective
of my blogs is to avoid litigation in slices, discourage trial by ambush, and rouse the
truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth - because I have direct personal
knowledge of material facts being misrepresented or hidden from disclosure by fiduciaries who hold the highest positions in the hierarchy of credibility, material facts held secret by privilege
created by judges with immunity against compensating for damages, or
lawyers who deny owing a duty of care to those who pay them in trust and rely
in good faith on the promises and protection of the law, while legal professionals make contradictory determinations of law and evidence that are in conflict and create adversarial disputes and waste far more than peace and truth - or justice.
Strata litigation is like walking through a minefield blindfolded.
My property was vandalized, and I was assaulted with noxious fumes right in my own home by a mob. I am relentlessly bullied, defamed, ostracized, and retaliated against with misrepresentations by neighbours acting unfairly and in conflict for their own unjust enrichment with the scandalous support of hired professionals and lawyers. It's not the strata doint it, it's people, but I couldn't afford to bring them before the Supreme Court. I still can't, and the CRT won't touch them. Apparently it has complete jurisidiction over strata property matter, and absolutely no jurisdiction over council members. What a fiasco.
I feel deliberately forced into a devastatingly unfair arena by an arrogant destructive power alliance that have been getting away with the intolerable - for decades - and are too psychopathic to apologize or behave responsibly.
Instead of being presumed innocent of false accusations refuted by statute and public records registered in the Land Title Office I was attacked by police violating my rights with threats of even worse to come. For decades I have been being continually pressured to stop protesting against corruption and misrepresentations, abuse, damage and loss, and to just quietly suck it up, or sell and move away.

It's TORTURE!
It has been my experience that if you won't quietly acquiesce to corruption and abuse they will lie, hurt you physically, socially, and financially, sic police on you, accuse you of harassment, and relentlessly break you down until you can't stand it ... if you won't shut up, you'll pay the costs. The apparent expectation is that you will be induced to give up or SELL (sell QUIETLY... caveat emptor!)
Defining torture
The most widely accepted definition of torture internationally is that set out by Article 1 of the United Nations Convention Against Torture and other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment (UNCAT):
“... 'torture' means any act by which severe pain or suffering, whether physical or mental, is intentionally inflicted on a person for such purposes as obtaining from him or a third person information or a confession, punishing him for an act he or a third person has committed or is suspected of having committed, or intimidating or coercing him or a third person, or for any reason based on discrimination of any kind, when such pain or suffering is inflicted by or at the instigation of or with the consent or acquiescence of a public official or other person acting in an official capacity. It does not include pain or suffering arising only from, inherent in or incidental to lawful sanctions.”
From this definition, it can be said that torture is the intentional infliction of severe mental or physical pain or suffering by or with the consent of the state authorities
There is no equal access to justice in BC. Even legal education is not equally accessible on the basis of merit - nor does it promote understanding, tolerance and friendship for maintenance of peace.
Strata strife cultivates a standard of living that has deprived me of my right to rest and leisure adequate for reasonable health and well-being such that I can't hold down meaningful work capable of ensuring my existence or end of life dignity. Asking for corrective action is like shouting into an empty room.
This is a Problem
