Fmr MCpl Patrik Mathews - facing U.S. federal charges/alleged white supremacist

[Fishbone Jones]

I can't remember the guys name off the top of my head, FBJ posted his video here a month or two ago. Ex RCMP intelligence contractor and terrorism expert. He was discussing among other things Canada adding names to the hate groups list or whatever.

I found it interesting when he spoke about Nazi's and how the last time actual Neo-Nazi's killed anyone in Canada was 20 years ago or something and it was one neo-nazi killing his own, also neo-nazi, brother.

His name is Tom Quiggan.

A mod took down my posts claiming he was:

The guy’s on the conspiracy fringe IMHO and getting buy in from folks because he was an insider working the security portfolio, has been ruled an expert witness on terrorism etc. But given what he is pushing at this point, that is about as germane as Hellyer being extra credible about UFOs because he was the MND at one point.

That's enough to get you started. Read his stuff, if you wish, and draw your own conclusions. I'm not foisting anything on anyone.

Would this fall under the umbrella of being treated guilty without being found guilty? Does the CAF treat sex offenders in our ranks the same way?
...

Standards of proof in administrative law are lower than criminal law. Just because someone hasn't been convicted of a criminal offence doesn't mean they still can't be dealt with administratively, up to and including release from the CAF.  We even use the administrative process to release members who have never been accused of a criminal offence but who have quite simply become an administrative burden due to their inability to manage their personal affairs.

And yes, the CAF has treated sex offenders in our ranks the same way, including long, long before Op HONOUR was even a thought.

Sergeant David Rodwell was sentenced to six years in prison for child pornography offences and arranging to commit a sexual offence against a child - a 3 year year old kid. He didn't appear to be released from the forces because of his allegations guilty sentence.

Cpl. Jason Moore had
-Three counts of making an indecent image of a child.
-One count of possessing an extreme pornographic image.
-One count of possessing a prohibited image of a child
-One count of failure to comply with a notice issued by investigators

The CAF released him from the forces was placed on administrative duties after his arrest last year.

Kinda see what I mean?  Maybe it's nothing  :nod:

True, although the CF practice ( as a government entity) with administrative law still must consistent with the Charter and the human rights code. The right to a fair hearing in admin law is critical. Some immigration and refugee hearings are administrative in nature, and admin decisions are routinely overturned and sent for reconsideration by courts on the basis of Charter requirements.

Years ago, a member of my regiment was allegedly caught with child pornography. From what I understand he had a very frank, honest and firm discussion with the RSM that suggested it would be in the member's best interest to voluntarily release before the civilian police had enough to charge him. Apparently the release was made a top priority. I can't confirm this, but more than one member has said this is what happened.

Looks like the arrest was circa 2015,

And I'll have to call " not" on this....wish I had kept track of the inmates that only got released after they were in a CC.  That meant the investigation, the trial, the DC time for appeals/ assessments and I  was only seeing them a year to two afterwards and they were just now getting released.

He's been gone for about a week now. Of course people are outraged over his disappearance.

 

[BDTyre]

Here's a "great" commentary by Scott Taylor about Mathews.

It contains such facts like "What we do know for sure is that Mathews joined the Canadian Army reserves eight years ago as a combat engineer" and follow up statements such as "Then there is the question of Mathews’ actual status in the air force at the time the story broke."

I can always count on Scott Taylor to give me a good laugh...

I didn't see if it was posted before the thread diverged.  I don't think anyone is "outraged" over his disappearance.  "Concerned" might be a better word.  As in concerned about what shit he might get up to, that is.

Vehicle found ...

Manitoba RCMP say it has found an abandoned vehicle belonging to a missing man, who is accused of being linked to a neo-Nazi group.

The vehicle, belonging to former Canadian Armed Forces reservist Patrik Mathews, was found Monday on a rural property in the R.M. of Piney, off Highway 12 near Road 81E, RCMP said Tuesday.

A tip that came in just before 4 p.m. led officers from the Sprague RCMP detachment to find the vehicle, which they believe had been parked there for about a week.

Last week police said it was believed Mathews was driving a red, 2010 Dodge Ram 1500 SLT with Manitoba licence plate number HXJ 806.

Mathews was not found following a search of the area.

That’s within around 10km of the US border, for what it’s worth.

Concerning.

 

[Pieman]

No charges were laid, so couldn't he just cross the border if he wanted to?

 

[PMedMoe]

Unless there had been some kind of alert put out, I think yes.

 

[brihard]

I’d be a little surprised if CBP didn’t have him on a no-go list, but it’s possible.

 

[Haggis]

No charges were laid, so couldn't he just cross the border if he wanted to?

Even without criminal charges, there are a myriad of reasons why he could be deemed inadmissable to the US.

- Known or suspected ties to certain organizations;
- No means to support himself in the US;
- No US sponsor;
- No legitimate reason to enter the US ("just visiting for a few days" isn't always sufficient)

I’d be a little surprised if CBP didn’t have him on a no-go list, but it’s possible.

Even if they don't, if the USCBP believes he is entering the US to avoid potential prosecution in Canada (they may have intel in this regard) or they believe he does not intend to leave the US, either to return to Canada or travel elsewhere, he can be denied entry.

Fairly wild country and easy to cross without going through an entry point.

 

[Haggis]

Fairly wild country and easy to cross without going through an entry point.

Very true, and as Brihard noted, there may be a lookout for him at the border, a good reason for him to avoid attempting to enter at a port of entry. USCBP and US Border Patrol actively work the US northern frontier between ports of entry and have a network of sensors to detect illegal crossings. There are significant potential consequences if they pick him up while doing so.

They should build a wall.  :nod:
