Cut it Out Stephen getting legal advice for less than $500 an hour is not allowed says CBC

By Stephen Pate – I was shocked to get the letter below from the CBC’s lawyer Alan Parish. I guess the CBC is worried people will find out what bullies they are.

Is the CBC afraid they and Mr Parish look mean for uttering multiple threats to a person living with a disability?

When I wrote CBC Threatens It Will Bury Disabled Journalist I didn’t think the CBC would try to retaliate. After all, I offered to settle the human rights complaint.

Five years ago the CBC and the PEI Press Gallery took away my ability to earn a living by discriminating against me as a person living with disabilities. When I filed a PEI Human Rights Complaint, the CBC fought back like a tiger.

The CBC stopped the PEI Human Rights Tribunal with a court application, denying that a person with disabilities had a right to work and accommodation in their work.

Unless we’re going to put all the disabled in Canada on welfare, I think we need to adjudicate the issue. The PEI Human Rights Commission agrees with me. Hold a public hearing on the issue they said.

But the CBC, the home of human rights abuses like sexual abuse of women, does not need any more negative publicity so they go around threatening people.

In reply to the CBC,  I asked Mr. Parish,

“Good morning to you. Three points:
1. Where is it a “prohibited act” other than in your mind
2. I am crowd sourcing my legal advice and that’s how you crowd source stuff. I can’t communicate what advice I was given since its privileged.
3. I don’t think Justice Taylor reads NJN Network. Seriously.”

The CBC nor Mr. Parish did not reply so I am crowd sourcing again my legal advice. Do you think I should take down the article as ordered or stand tall?

PS – thanks for the great advice last time and if you’re not providing crowd sourced legal advice, the CBC does not want you to read any further.

Dear Mr. Pate:

Re: Pate v. Thibodeau, et al – PEI HRC File 1706-10 and SIGS 25540

I am in receipt of your letter of December 1. 2014. It is a prohibited act to communicate any settlement letter to the court and by communicating such letter on the internet to a
wide list of people, the chances that the court will be informed of such letter is greatly increased.

It is our position that you should not communicate the contents of our settlement letter to anyone, other than your legal advisor, as stated in that letter. It was clearly inappropriate to publish my letter on your website and we demand that you remove it from your website immediately.

Yours very truly,
BURCHELLS LLP
