-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: Request for permission to go distribute flyers in the "refugee zone" Date: Thu, 11 Feb 2016 15:43:55 -0500 From: Stefan Jetchick To: AffairesPubliquesGS (add the "at" sign) forces.gc.ca Quebec City, Thursday February 11th, 2016. Public Affairs Officer Canadian Forces Base Valcartier P.O. Box 1000, Station Forces Courcelette, QC G0A 4Z0 Telephone: (418) 844-5000, ext. 7641 Fax: (418) 844-5340 Good day, I'd like to come on the Valcartier military base, more specifically in the zone reserved for Syrian "refugees", in order to hand out the following flyer: "Love Muslims! Hate Islam!" The MS-Word (printable) version of this same document is here: Printable version Careful! I don't want to come hand out some flyers on a military base! I'm pretty sure that's forbidden! But the "refugee zone" is precisely not a military base, and normal Canadian laws apply in that zone (among others the constitutional protections on freedom of speech). I'm trying to verify, by these actions, if the Canadian constitution is suspended in the "refugee zone", and replaced by sharia (islamic law). I repeat, I'm absolutely not asking for a pass to travel around on the military base. On the contrary, I'd be totally willing to be escorted from the entrance gate to the inside of the "refugee zone", and to be escorted on the way out (just like civilians who come and shoot on the Iberville firing range). Thank you very much! Stefan Jetchick [usual coordinates]
-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: RE: Request for permission to go distribute flyers Date: Tue, 16 Feb 2016 15:19:50 +0000 From: AffairesPubliquesGS To: sjj Good day Mr. Jetchick, We have taken due note of your request. First of all, allow us to explain the current situation at CFB Valcartier as pertaining to Syrian refugees. At present, we have not received confirmation as to whether we would host refugees, but we are ready to welcome them and to support the government plan. Since the hosting site is located on Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) base, the security regulations and jurisdictions remain the same and are governed by the National Defence Act and the Defence Controlled Access Area Regulations. Unfortunately we can not help you with the distribution of your flyers. For the sake of fairness we do not distribute letters from organizations or for projects external to the CAF on our bases and garrisons. Greetings, Public Affairs, 2nd Canadian Division Support Group, Canadian Armed Forces
-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: Re: Demande de permission pour aller distribuer des circulaires Date: Thu, 18 Feb 2016 19:28:52 -0500 From: Stefan Jetchick To: AffairesPubliquesGS Good evening, >> We have taken due note of your request. And since you've mentioned no reservation nor objection concerning the contents of the flyer, it's reasonable to assume you consider that this flyer doesn't contain anything objectionable from the point of view of Canadian laws. >> we are ready to welcome them [the refugees] Me too! You're ready to take care of their bodies, by supplying housing, food and clothing (at the taxpayer's expense). I'm ready to feed their souls, by supplying them an opportunity to culturally adapt themselves to Canada (at my expense). Indeed, in Canada, it's legal to criticise religions. >> we can not help you with the distribution of >> your flyers. I never asked for your help to hand out my flyers! I'll be the one to hand them out! >> Since the hosting site is >> located on Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) base, the security >> regulations and jurisdictions remain the same Are you telling me that a politician (I've been a candidate for every federal election since 2006 for the Christian Heritage Party) doesn't have the right to access future Canadian citizens? Now that's interesting. Are you sure it's legal to prevent a Canadian politician from having access to Canadian voters, on Canadian territory? I'm seeking legal advice on my side. If I were you, I'd make sure to contact a Canadian Armed Forces lawyer. If there should be a court challenge, you'd certainly be happy to have brought this possibility to the attention of your superiors. (In both of Canada's official languages, we say: "Cover Your Derrière"!). >> we do not distribute letters from organizations >> or for projects external to the CAF on our >> bases and garrisons. By the way, and notwithstanding any ulterior legal actions, at what distance must I remain from the entrance gate, to avoid falling under the jurisdiction of the "National Defence Act and the Defence Controlled Access Area Regulations"? Also, can I come and pitch my tent and camp in the refugee zone, since even non-Canadians have a right to do so? Have a nice day, Stefan Jetchick
Phone call from a person claiming to be Major Martin calling from 418-844-5000, who told me he was following up on my e-mails sent to Capitain Brouillette. (At least I have two names!) I asked Major Martin to send me an e-mail to tell me in writing what he was telling me verbally, but he didn't want. I told him that having been in the Army myself, we had been taught to prefer written orders. But he told me many things had changed in the Army. I asked him where the law on controlled access ceased to apply and he told me "outside the gate". He repeated that I could not have access to the "refugee zone" to hand out my flyers. Here the conversation went a bit around in circles. He told me for example that only people who worked on the base had access to it. I reminded him that refugees don't work on the base. So he took off on a long explanation that he has to obey orders from his superiors, etc. I reminded him that before being a soldier, he was a Canadian citizen, and that it was weird that with such a huge country, we would put refugees inside a military base, to then forbid access to it to Canadian citizens. "I don't want to enter into such a debate", he answered. I clearly explained that I understood he was in between a rock and hard place, but he seemed mostly in a hurry to cover his derrière, and the heck with these stories about freedom of expression and equal rights for all citizens. In short, a polite but cold conversation. Military personnel have the task to protect our freedoms and our rights, but after such a conversation, my impression is more that they are there to defend their paychecks and their pension funds, not our freedoms and our rights...
