i may have to make some fancy arguments. and, if this goes on long enough, i may end up writing some case law.

i acknowledge that it would initially seem like the proper standard for review is reasonableness and there should be deference to the body. but, the ruling was incorrect! so, i need a way to get them to rule on the right question.

if an explicit clause written in the legislature is enough to allow for deference, you'd think an explicit clause would likewise be enough to remove it. and, 83(3) is a hard stop.

i need to go back to the fact that the adjudicator didn't mention the documents. she didn't dismiss the evidence. she just ignored it. and, you ought not to do that.

so, how can the court rule in favour of deference when the legislation is written to all but abolish discretion, and the adjudicator clearly applied too much of it, to the point of explicitly excluding imperative evidence? this would be an obvious case for a correctness review, by order of the legislature.

the problem is that i don't have the right case law, and i consequently might not get a good reaction at a lower court. this happens sometimes - a hole in the law exists, and the lower courts can't plug it without the proper ruling coming down from up top. so, the lower courts just keep putting down dumb rulings.

i get the idea behind deference. but, this is exactly the situation where they need to use correctness.

i think i'm getting some sleep.

so...

i did study the difference between reasonableness and correctness; i did study dunsmuir. this isn't greek. although, having studied mathematics deeply and having dabbled in philosophy....i'm not terrible with greek.

i get the broad idea of what i need to do.

as i've stated repeatedly, i think the ruling was incorrect: that i provided plenty of evidence of the action being retaliatory, that i explicitly mentioned it more than once, including at the end, and that the adjudicator had minimal discretion in ruling under 83(3). she just wasn't paying attention; she'd already made up her mind. and, she done fucked right up, she did, yup. this argument is clear enough in my mind.

Further, subsection 83(3) provides for mandatory relief from eviction in certain situations. If the Board finds that any of clauses (a) to (e) of subsection 83(3) applies, the Board must not grant the application to evict.

what's daunting is the formalities, the pomp, the procedure. because there isn't an instruction manual - or at least i haven't found it yet. and, what i'm going to do wrong here is screw up a technicality...

i was actually glad to see that the precedent is dunsmiur. something familiar. an anchor. 'cause i remember that shit...

the cold, rational truth is that this woman ignored very good evidence and a very clear law in front of her and instead made the conscientious choice to toss a disabled person out on the street.

it's really the old problem with property, isn't it?

i maintain that the ruling was incorrect relative to the law - that the law recognizes this kind of inequity, and has clauses designed to prevent it. but, if the adjudicator is a bitch, then the adjudicator is a bitch. i'm actually confident i'll eventually win this thing, via enough appeals - but i really hope i'm gone by then.

but, whatever argument you want to make in terms of the value of property (which i'm likely to tear apart...), you're always left with the reality that property really is theft. and, there's not any rational way to deny this: my apartment is quite literally being stolen from me.

the correct answer is to abolish property. and, while the canadian system of property is more feudal and tory than it is anarchist or mutualist, it kind of comes around to the right answer. or, at least it should. at least, it's written to.

again: that's why this woman isn't a judge - she really didn't have the wisdom to balance this well. i quite literally have nowhere to go. she's quite literally tossing me on the street. and, i consequently have no choice but to drag this out.

the only responses i'm getting are from this stupid management company that's running rough shod over all the human rights legislation.

what happened to my little hole at the end of history?

if i could have put this off for another five years, i'd just move to a small town. but, i'm not ready for that, yet.

that was a waste of time.

i need a shower...

this appeals thing is esoteric, but i'll figure it out. tomorrow is otherwise empty.

like i say: i'm going to guess six months to a year. i might not even have enough time over the appeal. and, i hate this. i thought i had this 'waste all of my time finding somewhere to live' bullshit figured out. ugh.

i guess i had to catch up on some sleep.

then i had to do some grocery shopping, this morning. i shipped 48, 56. six orders left.

i got something to eat this afternoon, and it's been a little slow getting to the next point.

i'm caught up in the listings. there are actually a few more interesting things, but i couldn't get through to anybody. there's some long shot viewings tonight.

but i'm going to have to spent the rest of the night preparing documents, because i intend to serve tomorrow.

well, at least i'll get one within walking distance.

i can't promise i'll go back a second time, though. we'll see what it's like.

i did like the pit bull ban, though.

hopefully, city council hangs on to that.

denis coderre has been a longstanding example of what is wrong with the liberal party. and, valerie plante had a very forward thinking platform. it's maybe worth pointing out that the thing that requires the deeper explanation is how it is that he ever won in the first place - but you just have to take a look at his primary opponent in 2013 to figure it out. even so, he only got 35% of the vote - and the left almost split.

when i think of denis coderre, i think of paul martin. and, whether anybody likes it or not, this is still the narrative that defines so much of the canadian body politic: this struggle between business liberals and social democrats for control of the natural governing party.

i wish her luck, and hope her and her party can work out some of their longstanding goals to build a more modern, more sustainable city on the island of montreal.

but, let's not make this too much about her gender.

it probably wasn't.

this is the vlog for nov 3-5, where i close inri057, go to see lee renaldo in detroit and don't get home until the next morning.
