Back in 2014, Dentons & Imperial Oil partner on Internationally Trained Lawyer Articling Program in Calgary

Fraser Milner Casgrain (FMC) law firm was aquirred by Dentons. Their report shows how Harper tried to bypass First Nations consent. Josh Jantzi who wrote it became a solicitor for Enbridge for the Supreme Court case vs Chippewas of the Thames re: Line 9. https://t.co/7qTYcWt1Yi
Report dated May 28-29 2012 titled: Aboriginal Consultation and Project Development prepared by Bernard J. Roth and Joshua A. Jantzi of Fraser Milner Casgrain. Mr. Jantzi now works for Dentons. Hired by Enbridge for Line 9 Supreme Court vs. Chippwas of the Thames.

Dentons created from merger of SNR Denton, Fraser Milner Casgrain and Salans and later merged with Chinese law firm Dacheng in 2015.
Interesting to note this senior partner of Dentons worked with Jack Ma. (Ant, Alibaba etc. ) https://t.co/n5KLiof1Ck
2014 Harper was dealing with China when Ma said he intends to sell almost a quarter of a million Canadian lobsters, ten times what it moved the year prior. https://t.co/CZ7jT3PBSV
After he left office Stephen Harper like Jean Chrestien and James Moore ended up working at Dentons.

The company calls the relationship with Harper a "strategic affiliation," noting that Harper remains chairman and CEO of his own consulting agency.
Harper worked out of the Dentons office in Calgary. https://t.co/Xpmo1WswKj
Kpmg and Dentons were linked here with Beth Wilson. Beth Wilson, former KPMG Greater Toronto Area Managing Partner was selected as Dentons Canada CEO effective July 1, 2017. https://t.co/zRgOyyIfae
The Honourable James Moore was appointment to the Board of the Canada China Business Council. https://t.co/LNNFZPM2ZP
Citic links to SNC Lavalin, Barrick, Demarais and others at the Canada China Business Council. https://t.co/9AKImu7R0p.
André Desmarais was member of Citic's board of directors for 16 years.

Qatar invested billions in Citic. https://t.co/nfBtCegeN1
At Brookfield there are concerns insiders wield such power that the companies below them could face risks similar to those of “pyramid control companies”, according to a draft investor disclosure that Brookfield filed with the Securities.https://t.co/0lZYaOMfS1
Brookfield Asset Management and Doha connected with Brookfield Property Partners (BPY). Through a sovereign wealth fund, Doha holds $1.8bn worth of BPY and Qatar can force Brookfield Asset Management to buy them back for $1.8bn over the next 6 years. https://t.co/m3bCvbj4i6
In 2018 Brookfield's Senior Manager James Flatt's base salary was $795,334 with $5,385,958 in shares making his total compensation $6,181,292. Giving shares to CEOs is a horrible tax loophole. Reduces taxes 50%. They should be paid in cash. https://t.co/YeNr8HosUv
Brookfield Asset Management unveiled sweeping changes to its "unusual" ownership structure that for decades has given a secretive group of self-styled partners the right to wield huge influence over the US$500-billion investment firm. https://t.co/h8BjL4tSqI

Another Pennsylvania case. This is the most important one in my opinion. It shows the Republican Legislature broke the law when they created a mail-in ballot law in October, 2019, which they knew was against the state
One of the judges this story mentions is William Cassidy, who was promoted from an Atlanta IJ position to a BIA member position in 2019 by the Trump DOJ. Cassidy has an awful history that has been well-documented, but I'm still enraged reading this reporting.


The story notes that the EOIR Director served as an ICE attorney in Atlanta and practiced before Cassidy for years. And it points to FOIA records unearthed by Bryan Johnson showing they remain friendly.

A trove of complaints against Cassidy was published by AILA in 2019 after FOIA litigation. They generally show misconduct, substantiated in the record, followed by "written counseling" etc.

One way Cassidy could avoid discipline is by turning off the recording device during the hearing. If he made a lewd or offensive comment off the record, all the EOIR would do is listen to the recording. If it's not there, the complaint is "unsubstantiated" https://t.co/wUeBPEEbpV


In that case, Cassidy joked about a detained immigrant saying he missed his wife. The complaint was dismissed because the ACIJ found "no levity or joking" in the comment.
