Legal Summary: Whitelaw-Twining's Contrived Conflict of Interest: an Unethical Sacrifice of INTACT's Interests (violation: LSBC Code of Professional Conduct, Chapter 3, Section 3.4)

As detailed on this informational, public interest website, the legal posturing by INTACT's Whitelaw-Twining counsel is an unprecedented and deeply problematic display of a prohibited conflict of interest. Mr. Beckmann, and certain participating associates, are actively sacrificing INTACT’s interests by pursuing a legally absurd premise that conflates "insured status" with "coverage of a specific claim," a distinction that has already been discredited by INTACT personnel, infra.

This conflict is manifest in the following points:

1. Directly Contradicting INTACT's Position: The Claims Manager and inhouse Lawyer have already provided Affidavit sworn statements affirming the named insured's status, infra. Whitelaw-Twining's actions are in direct contradiction to these admissions, thus compelling INTACT to defend a position that is legally indefensible and factually disproven by its own records.

2. Using INTACT's Authority for a Personal Agenda: Whitelaw-Twining is unethically leveraging INTACT's legal standing and resources to defend Mr. Beckmann's own defamatory letter (of 07 December 2023). Such constitutes a clear breach of Whitelaw-Twining's fiduciary duty, since Whitelaw-Twining's professional obligations to the firm's client are being sacrificed by Mr. Beckmann's personal interest in avoiding accountability for his defamatory actions.

3. Abuse of Process: This deliberate conflation of settled fact with a separate legal issue, serves no legitimate purpose for INTACT. Instead, it wastes the court's precious time and resources, and is calculated to create confusion and exhaust the SLAPP Defendant, which constitutes an extreme abuse of the legal process.

Given this serious conflict of interest, INTACT and/or Whitelaw- Twining have a legal obligation to undertake immediate remedial measures. Failing to do so would make both party to the aforementioned unethical conduct. These measures must include, but are not limited to, retaining new counsel and formal correction of the legal record, to reflect the conceded fact of the named insured's status. Any further delay would be a dereliction of their collective legal obligations, and a direct contribution to their ongoing waste of the court’s valuable resources.

Despite the efforts of the creator of this website, to alert INTACT Insurance Senior Legal Counsel Mathieu Grenier and Legal Compliance Officer Frédéric Cotnoir of rogue personnel within its ranks, some misguided litigation manager has generously funded INTACT's and its lawyers at WHITELAW-TWINING's well-documented, tortious activities. Libel, Malicious Falsehood, and Malicious Misrepresentation In an email of 19 July 2023, in response to a Freedom of Information Request for access to documents about Claims Manager Amanda Myers' (30 September 2021) denial of coverage, INTACT's Privacy Officer stated that no such records exist.

However wrongful, Claims Manager Amanda Myers' coverage denial constitutes a formal claims reporting profile, the existence of which the Privacy Officer denies.

Thus, while INTACT's Privacy Officer violates the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act § 29(1), by denying access to information relative to Claims Manager Myers' coverage denial, INTACT and its wayward Plaintiffs continue to prosecute a SLAPP action against the individual whistleblower, who filed a formal Complaint about Myers' illicit claims activities, with SLAPP Plaintiff, Ombudsman Michele Vincent, who also has denied the existence of such records.

INTACT INSURANCE ENJOYS THE "BEST OF TWO PERVERSE WORLDS"!

INTACT’s deliberate and wrongful creation of a false "claims reporting profile" (that the Claimant had forfeited coverage by having occupied an area which happens to be an ornamental pigeon roost) constitutes the torts of libel, malicious falsehood, and malicious misrepresentation. This false information, which the Plaintiffs knew or were recklessly indifferent to being false, was published when it was made available to third-party reporting agencies, adverse to the Defendant's interests.

INTACT's lawyer at Whitelaw-Twining's separate, written statement (which he published to various personnel of INTACT), that the Defendant had lied about being a named insured, intimating that he had submitted his claims under false pretences, is a further instance of this defamatory, tortious conduct. INTACT’s further attempt to conceal this tortious conduct through the contradictory statement of INTACT's Privacy Officer, demonstrates the deliberate and malicious nature of their conduct. This course of conduct has unfairly and adversely impacted the Defendant's financial reputation, alerting prospective lenders that the Defendant is an irresponsible or high-risk borrower. This has caused, and will continue to cause, substantial economic harm, including but not limited to the inability to secure mortgage insurance, the denial of financing, and the inability to purchase real property

31 August 2025

For almost two (2) years, Whitelaw-Twining Partner, Mr. Nigel Beckmann ["head of the firm's Defamation and Abuse Litigation Group" and listed as 7th among the firm's 121 122 126 Insurance Law "Experts"] continues to contradict the signed statements of two (2) of his own SLAPP Plaintiff Clients, that the SLAPP Defendant was a named insured of INTACT, but that the coverage of a claim that he had submitted was denied!

In the below letter, Claims Manager Amanda Myers and Representative Breanna Gray specifically confirmed the SLAPP Defendant's status as a named insured, by the authority of Strata Property Act § 155(b)].

In the below legal pleading, INTACT Lawyer Christa Rae Cordick states that the SLAPP Defendant "may be considered a named insured", but that coverage was denied, pursuant to policy language.

Although both Myers' and Cordick's signed statements are factual, the Whitelaw-Twining Partner intentionally conflates, and attempts to posture the legal absurdity that the issue of insured status is the same as the separate issue of coverage of a specific claim!

The distinction between "insured status" and "coverage of a specific claim" is not a minor legal detail; it is a foundational element of insurance law.

• Insured Status: This is the simple, binary fact of a valid contract. It's the "who is on the list?" question. A signed statement from a claims manager and in-house lawyer are definitive proof of this. It closes the door on this issue. There is no legitimate debate to be had here.

• Coverage of a Specific Claim: This is the complex, fact-specific analysis that follows after insured status is confirmed. It's the "does this specific event fall under the terms of our contract?" question. This is where INTACT duty to act in good faith is most evident-its refusal to fairly investigate the claim and interpret the policy without bias.

Whitelaw-Twining's Posturing as Trickery

The Whitelaw-Twining lawyer’s posturing is a transparent legal shell game. He is attempting to conceal the critical issue—the bad-faith denial of the specific claim—under the guise of an irrelevant one—the insured status.

The distinction is not only a matter of legal principle, but rather one of statutory fact, as seen in cases like Strata Plan VR 2213 v. Schappert, wherein Section 155(b) of the Strata Property Act legally defines "insured" status, infra. The signed statements from the Claims Manager and the INTACT lawyer concretise this legal reality!

By attempting to relitigate the named insured status, the Whitelaw-Twining lawyers assigned to the SLAPP litigation are not making a good faith legal argument, but rather attempting to misuse the legal process to create confusion and avoid addressing the fundamental breach of INTACT's duty of good faith. The fact that the insured status was already conceded makes INTACT's argument not just discredited, but legally absurd. The Whitelaw-Twining Partner's shell game attempt to conflate these two issues is a strategic and manipulative move, not an honest legal argument. It's a form of trickery for three primary reasons:

1. Ignoring Conceded Facts: The lawyer is trying to undo a formal admission made by INTACT's representatives. In a court of law, this would be highly unusual and a sign of a discredited position on the actual merits of the case. Whitelaw-Twining is effectively attempting to disrupt a settled issue.

2. Redirecting the Court's Focus: The lawyer wants to shift the court's attention away from the real issue—INTACT's alleged bad faith and the use of a falsified report—and toward a non-issue that has already been resolved. It's a classic legal maneuver to avoid a losing argument by creating a new, tangential one.

3. Abuse of Process: By forcing the SLAPP Defendant to spend time and resources on proving something that has already been admitted, the lawyer is engaging in a tactic designed to introduce unnecessary complexity and cost to the proceedings, which is a hallmark of a SLAPP-style strategy.

In summary, the Whitelaw-Twining lawyers are not advancing a good faith legal argument. They are attempting to manipulate the legal process by creating confusion where there is none, all to avoid addressing INTACT's fundamental breach of its duty of good faith.

The very purpose of INTACT's Ombudsman is to provide an internal, non-judicial path for dispute resolution. The Ombudsman's mandate is to investigate complaints, including those about Claims Manager Amanda Myers' forbidden claims practices, in an objective and timely manner.

By refusing to investigate, ostensibly because the matter is before the court, Ombudsman Vincent is in violation of § 80.3(1) of the Financial Institutions Act, compelling that the SLAPP Defendant either invest an estimated $65,000 in defence costs, or engage in an emotionally draining, awkward DIY self-represented effort, against Whitelaw-Twining's bellicose, human rights prosecutor mercenaries, whose letter, defamatorily accusing the SLAPP Defendant of falsely claiming to be an insured of INTACT, was the genesis of all the malicious litigation that ensued, a veritable cash cow for the law firm. INTACT's utilisation and abuse of the judicial system represents Ombudsman Vincent's dereliction of her statutorily imposed mandate to resolve Complaints administratively, and a substantial burden to the taxpayers of British Columbia.

Vincent's violations, combined with the other documented facts—including Claims Manager Amanda Myers' false, defamatory accusation that the SLAPP Defendant had resided in a pigeon roost, the denial of the existence of the claims profile, by the Privacy Officer, and the Whitelaw-Twining lawyer's defamatory letter, (all sanctioned and abundantly funded by INTACT Senior Legal Counsel Mathieu Grenier and Legal Compliance Officer Frédéric Cotnoir) demonstrate a clear and consistent pattern of illicit claims practices and egregious bad faith conduct.

W-TF !

With all beyond due respect to the Whitelaw-Twining lawyers on this INTACT SLAPP case, in light of the above "coverage" expertise claimed on its website, the advice and counsel to Client INTACT on how to violate Financial Institutions Act § 80.3(1)(a)(b)(c), and embroil INTACT in costly (lucrative to W-T) never ending, vindictive, retaliatory intentional infliction of emotional distress, SLAPP litigation, regulatory entanglements, and other legal and ethical complications, is hardly "the right coverage decision while maintaining relationships with their valued customers-the insureds"!

Whitelaw-Twining and its cohorts, INTACT SLAPP Plaintiffs:

झूठ के पाँव नहीं होते ਝੂਠ ਦੇ ਪੈਰ ਨਹੀਂ ਹੁੰਦੇ।

साँच को आँच नहीं ਸੱਚ ਨੂੰ ਆਂਚ ਨਹੀਂ।

नेकी कर, कुआँ में डाल ਨੇਕੀ ਕਰ, ਦਰਿਆ ਵਿੱਚ ਪਾ।

Pour ceux qui ne sauraient lire les susdits proverbes

La vérité est comme l'huile, elle finit toujours par remonter à la surface.

INTACT lawyers Nigel Beckmann and Meera Jain (who was in Courtroom 30, when Justice Elwood pronounced the Court's decision) are in violation of the Order, by their wrongful attempt to alter such, by threats of further court Applications, to remove Beckmann's defamatory letter of 07 December 2023, inter alia. The below two (2) emails evidence Whitelaw-Twining's ulterior motives-the avoidance of Mr. Beckmann's voluntary or ordered retraction of his defamatory letter.

OPEN LETTER TO WHITELAW-TWINING: NEITHER MR. BECKMANN'S DEFAMATORY LETTER, NOR OTHERS OF HIS DEFAMATORY STATEMENTS WILL BE REMOVED FROM EITHER WEBSITE. PROCEED AS ETHICS AND RULES OF COURT WOULD DICTATE.

22 August 2025

For five (5) years, the INTACT Plaintiffs and for two (2) years, their henchwomen and henchmen at Whitelaw-Twining, have cruelly ignored the pleas of the SLAPP Defendant, to retract the wrongful, unsubstantiated claims denial of Claims Manager Amanda Myers.

INTACT and the SLAPP Plaintiffs are well aware that Myers' wrongful coverage denial has proximately caused the SLAPP Defendant and his wife to suffer, and will continue to suffer, substantial consequential damages, since they have been obligated to disclose this denied claim on all past and future applications for insurance and financing, including applications for real estate mortgages. Myers' wrongful denial of coverage was without factual or evidentiary basis and was contrary to the terms of the policy. Her purported 'investigation' lacked a proper or thorough inquiry into the facts and circumstances of the claim, and therefore, could not serve as a good faith basis for the denial.

Myers' denial unfairly and adversely impacts the Defendant's financial reputation, unfairly signaling to prospective lenders that he is an irresponsible or high-risk borrower. This has proximately caused, and will continue to cause, substantial economic harm, including but not limited to the denial of financing and the inability to purchase real property.

To compound its oppressive trajectory, the Whitelaw-Twining representatives threaten even more (meritless) Applications, as if the BC judicial system were a tool for INTACT's and Whitelaw-Twining's Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress!

24 August 2025

The Further Amended Counterclaim (to the right) has undergone extensive, corrective additions and deletions, and will be filed and served within the few days.

It will please INTACT employées, Amanda Myers, Christa Rae Cordick and Michele Vincent, and their lawyers at Whitelaw-Twining, that their collective, oppressive efforts have well come to fruition. The SLAPP Defendant continues to stumble through the maze of unfamiliar Court rules, Responsive Pleadings, Applications and other "legal" obstacles, in the Provincial and Supreme Courts, merely to compel these antagonistic silhouettes for hire Plaintiffs, and their Counsel, to investigate Amanda Myers' proscribed coverage denial, and to release a coveted Claims Experience letter. Another tribute to INTACT's and Whitelaw-Twining'sW-TF! TM legacy!

21 AUGUST 2025

• INTACT's disingenuous legal strategy is easily exposed and discredited: INTACT Claims Manager Amanda Myers, made a crucial admission against interest, by explicitly citing Strata Property Act § 155 (b), and stating in her letter of 30 September 2021 that the SLAPP Defendant is a "named insured" of INTACT. INTACT's lawyers at Whitelaw-Twining attached the letter to Myers' Affidavit. This unequivocal sworn statement of fact establishes the Defendant's legal status, under the subject INTACT Strata Policy.

• Conflation to Obfuscate: Two (2) of INTACT's inhouse Counsel (Casey Goodrich and Christa Rae Cordick) and five (5) of its outhouse Counsel at Whitelaw-Twining (Nigel Beckmann, Gavin Clark, Priya Parihar, Morgan K. Sterns and Meera Jain), have attempted to conflate this admitted fact with Claims Manager Myers' subsequent, wrongful coverage denial, based upon her contrived claims investigation, that had never had been conducted. This futile, elaborate legal ruse seeks to create a false and misleading impression that the Defendant's status as a "named insured" is dependent upon, or rendered moot by the denial of coverage.

• Core Issue: The admission of "named insured" status is a foundational fact that is legally separate and distinct from the wrongful denial of coverage. In separation of the two (2) legally unrelated events, INTACT's subsequent denial of coverage is an unsupported and separate action, that is subject to separate and distinct evidentiary burdens.

22 AUGUST 2025

INTACT's counsel, Whitelaw-Twining Partner, Mr. Beckmann has fired off his intimidative email du jour, (copy to Attorney Jain), wherein he threatens even more litigation, unless the SLAPP Defendant should remove from this and the other website, all instances of defamation, which includes the Partner's defamatory letter of 07 December 2023 (displayed, infra), wherein he defamatorily accused the SLAPP Defendant of having lied about being an insured of INTACT, etc.

ALTHOUGH THE SLAPP DEFENDANT ONCE IMPRUDENTLY PLEADED WITH THE PARTNER TO MODERATE HIS INTIMIDATIVE TACTICS, FOR THE SAKE OF THE DEFENDANT's WIFE, THIS TIME EVEN THE WIFE HAS DRAWN THE LINE WITH WHITELAW-TWINING.

NEITHER WHITELAW-TWINING's DEFAMATORY LETTER OF 07 DECEMBER 2023, NOR ANY OTHER INSTANCE OF WHITELAW- TWINING's DEFAMATION OF THE SLAPP DEFENDANT OR HIS WIFE, WILL BE REMOVED FROM EITHER WEBSITE!

22 August 2025

The Further Amended Counterclaim (to the right) has undergone extensive refinements, and will be filed and served within the next few days.

Another tribute to INTACT's bad faith legacy!

19 AUGUST 2025

In the long-awaited tidings of the affirmation of Canadian freedom of speech values, the Honourable Justice Elwood of the BC Supreme Court has dealt a devastating, twofold setback to INTACT's and Whitelaw-Twining's oppressive SLAPP litigation by:

1. Summary denial of INTACT's Application to deactivate this and the other public interest website OFFENCELAWYERSREPORT.COM , and

2. Leave to the SLAPP Defendant to amend and refine his Counterclaim, adding more extensive charging allegations, against INTACT and its vindictive SLAPP personnel Plaintiffs.

Despite the recent Ruling of Honourable Justice Elwood of the BC Supreme Court, infra, intended to promote a resolution of INTACT's SLAPP litigation, deep-pocketed INTACT has elected to rebuff Justice Elwood's guidance, by continuing in its oppressive, retaliatory campaign against the freedom to expose the wrongful claims practices of INTACT Claims Manager, SLAPP Plaintiff Amanda Myers, as well as the defamatory actions of its Whitelaw-Twining legal counsel, all detailed on this informational, public interest website.

AS ON ONGOING COMMITMENT TO SCRUPULOUSLY AVOID ANY INADVERTENT DEFAMATORY DISPLAY ON THIS WEBSITE, THE ADMINISTRATOR, RB, INVITES ANY VIEWER, INCLUDING THE SLAPP PLAINTIFFS AND THEIR LAWYERS, TO USE THE ANONYMOUS SUBMISSION FORM, IN ORDER TO PRECISELY IDENTIFY ANY DEFAMATORY STATEMENT OR IMAGE ON THIS WEBSITE, THAT SHE OR HE SHOULD DEEM DEFAMATORY, IN HER OR HIS SOLE DISCRETION, AND IT WILL BE REMOVED WITHIN 48 HOURS.

08 August 2025

In a letter of 21 September 2021, INTACT Claims Manager Amanda Myers misrepresented having conducted an important claims investigation, when, in fact, no such investigation had ever occurred. Myers' wrongful claims practices were uncovered by INTACT Privacy Officer Helen Cameron, as the result of her independent, internal affairs probe. In a botched attempt to cover-up her wrongful claims practices, Myers filed two (2) retaliatory SLAPP actions against the submitter of the claim, who has created this informational website, to alert INTACT of Myers' prohibited claims practices. To the left are Myers' responses to the Notice to Admit, propounded by the SLAPP Defendant.

INTACT inhouse counsel Christa Rae Cordick is another SLAPP Plaintiff. Her wrongful activities include, but not by way of limitation, pleadings and affidavit that the SLAPP Defendant had exercised 'exclusive control' over a physically inaccessible LCP pigeon roost, and that he was negligent in failure to abate a noxious pigeon faecal matter that had collected thereupon. Moreover, in proceedings at the BC Provincial Court, INTACT Counsel Cordick aggressively portrayed the SLAPP Defendant as a confused, disoriented, unstable, senior citizen, in prop se litigant. The hyperzealous Ms. Cordick successfully commandeered the trajectory of the Provincial Court litigation. When the in pro se litigant showed a photo of the inaccessible pigeon roost to the Court (infra) Ms. Cordick displayed her trademark, contemptuous sneer, assuring the Court that anyone who occupies the pigeon roost depicted in the photograph, is merely too unstable and confused to be regarded. Ms. Cordick's abuses of the judicial system also include misrepresentations to the Court that the subject Strata Corporation (LMS2845) had no responsibility to maintain the LCP pigeon roost, a legal and physical absurdity that appears in her pleadings and affidavits in the Provincial and Supreme Courts.

Another SLAPP Plaintiff is Ombudsman Michele Vincent, falsely denying that her Office had accepted the SLAPP Defendant's Complaint, with assignment to INTACT's Customer Experience Team. Ms. Vincent apparently is unaware that the SLAPP Defendant has procured a copy of her 26 May 2023 email, confirming acceptance of the Complaint, with her assignment to the Customer Experience Team. The SLAPP Defendant has also procured a copy of an email of 24 April 2023, from Manal of the Customer Experience Team, acknowledging the assignment of the Complaint. Both documents are posted on this website. In a spectacular conflict of interest, Ombudsman Vincent occupies the position of INTACT's Complaint Officer. Thus, any semblance of unbiased management of Complaints is unattainable! In any event, although the SLAPP Defendant has repeatedly requested, then demanded, that INTACT provide him with a Claims Experience letter, as required for enhanced coverage under his current premises policy, Ms. Vincent has vacillated between her misrepresentation that (1) INTACT has no record of any claim of the SLAPP Defendant, and (2) the SLAPP Defendant is not a Strata Council member, and thus, not entitled to a Claims Experience letter. On 01 August 2025, INTACT's lawyer from Whitelaw-Twining gleefully informed the SLAPP Defendant that INTACT will never provide a Customer Experience letter to him. Haven't these malicious antagonists any sense of shame or decency????

07 August 2025 In the below email from INTACT Lawyer #6 assigned to this SLAPP action, the Associate candidly admits that INTACT's ulterior motive for its oppressive SLAPP litigation is the deactivation of the entirety of this (critical, albeit documented, factual whistleblower) website, not merely posts that INTACT and W-T should deem defamatory! INTACT's oppressive unconstitutional scheme to seek deactivation of the entire website, is tantamount to censorship of the BC Legislature's Protection of Public Participation Act (PPPA), censorship of the BC Legislature's Strata Property Act §155(b) and censorship of the BC Supreme Court's decision of the Honourable Justice Coval, in the Schappert case.

INTACT's and W-T's efforts to tread upon fundamental Charter rights, such as the freedom of speech to cite statutory and judicial authority on a website, is worth opposing, and the Administrator of this website invites the filings of amicus curiae briefs and other support of freedom of speech advocacy organisations!

05 August 2025

The SLAPP Defendant has recently been notified that INTACT will never (voluntarily) release the Final Business Decision letter promised by SLAPP Plaintiff, Ombudswoman Michele Vincent, infra. INTACT promoted Claims Manager SLAPP Plaintiff, Claims Manager Amanda Myers, after she fabricated her claims investigation and engaged in other illegalities, infra. INTACT inhouse counsel Christa Rae Cordick filed perjured Affidavit with the Court, infra. INTACT has squandered, by conservative estimates, more than $63,000 in SLAPP prosecution fees to Whitelaw-Twining, with a tacit commitment to waste much more. All of these costly legal, regulatory, judicial, ethical and moral travesties, merely to avoid the issuance of a "coveted" Claims Experience letter. Does INTACT really merit a rating as high as 1.3 ?

FAQ about INTACT's Shareholder-Funded SLAPP Prosecution:

Intact had a pesky Named Insured Whistleblower, but no legitimate basis for a lawsuit.

No problem! In the case, subject of this informational website, INTACT's creative lawyer at W-T tailored a fabricated a cause of action against INTACT's Whistleblower, who had filed a Complaint with INTACT Ombudswoman Michele Vincent against Claims Manager Amanda Myers, who had invented her untrue narrative of having completed a claims investigation, infra. W-T came to INTACT's rescue, by filing two (2) duplicate SLAPP actions against the Whistleblower.

Is W-T prosecuting this SLAPP litigation for INTACT on a pro bono basis?

No! However, for between $75,000 to $200,000+ W-T can overwhelm INTACT's Whistleblower, SLAPP Defendant, by way of costly attrition. In this case, in order to complement its dual SLAPP actions, W-T filed a frivolous Application for an Interlocutory (temporary) Order, even though the SLAPP Defendant had already offered to INTACT the precise, extrajudicial relief on several prior occasions! On 13 August 2025, the Supreme Court denied INTACT's Application to deactivate this website.

What if the Whistleblower SLAPP Defendant fights back?

No problem! In this case, the Named Insured, Whistleblower SLAPP Defendant is a meager, retired carpet layer, so stingy that he elected to forego an investment of only $70,000+ for a proper, professional SLAPP defence, instead of a DIY, shoddy self representation. INTACT's lawyer specialises in SLAPP prosecutions against self-represented) SLAPP Defendants, and retired, blue-collar tradespeople are notoriously ill-qualified to mount an effective SLAPP defence!

Is INTACT's lawyer's offer subject to a “satisfaction guaranteed, money back” guarantee?

No, law society regulations prohibit such refunds. However, INTACT is fully committed to fund its malicious SLAPP action, however costly, since INTACT's unctuous "Living Our Values" initiative merits constant infusions of shareholder capital!

02 August 2025

INTACT and the other SLAPP Plaintiffs have scheduled an entire day hearing of their Application for an Interlocutory (temporary) Order, to deactivate this website until trial. INTACT's deep pocketed commitment to its SLAPP litigation is oppressive and financially burdensome to the Defendant, and its wanton gaspillage of the Court's precious time and resources will continue to try the patience of the Court. As an example of its enduring, malicious motives, INTACT's lawyers at Whitelaw-Twining have scheduled an entire day hearing for 13 August 2025 during which they will present 2.3 kilos of irrelevant statements and images, copies of such irrelevant statements and images, much of which has never been displayed on this website, and some, as website existed in 2023, 2024 and the beginning of 2025, most of which has long since been removed. In view of this reality, Whitelaw-Twining has revised its 1 day estimate to 2-3 hours, thus substantially shortening Defendant's oral response time requirement. However, more so that a reduction of hearing time, the necessity of INTACT's Application can be entirely obviated, and the interlocutory result achieved, with Plaintiffs' agreement to the below OFFER TO RESOLVE THE MATTER BY CONSENT, offered to Plaintiffs by the SLAPP Defendant.

Rule 8-3 (Applications by Consent): This rule specifically allows parties to obtain an order from a Master or Judge without the need for a formal hearing, as long as all parties consent to the terms of the Order. This is the primary rule that facilitates resolutions by agreement. Rule 1-3: This rule is to secure the just, speedy, and inexpensive determination of every proceeding on its merits. This overarching principle is intended to encourage parties and their counsel to seek out and pursue resolutions that are efficient and cost-effective.

Therefore, below is a proposed OFFER TO RESOLVE THE MATTER BY CONSENT, that assuages all possible, legitimate concerns of the Plaintiffs, regarding their allegations of defamation. Since the OFFER TO RESOLVE THE MATTER BY CONSENT would somewhat mitigate the oppressive nature of INTACT's SLAPP, the SLAPP Plaintiffs would likely ignore this Rule of Court 1-3 proposal, and compel that the Court devote its precious time and resources to the formality of an entire day hearing. However, at the beginning of the hearing, the SLAPP Defendant will alert the Court of the facts surrounding the SLAPP Plaintiffs' abusive modus operandi, with a request for enhanced costs, as well as any punitive measure that the Court shall deem appropriate.

30 July 2025 Below is an email from INTACT's lawyer, in response to SLAPP Defendant's Application to Disqualify him and his firm, Whitelaw-Twining. Canadian courts respectfully disagree with Whitelaw-Twining Partner's position that his letter was "not published", because he admits to having sent it to various claims and other representatives of INTACT.

What is "Publication" in Defamation Law?

For a statement to be defamatory, it must be "published." Publication simply means that the defamatory statement is communicated to at least one person other than the person being defamed.

• Communication to a Third Party: The essence of publication is that a third party (someone other than the defamer and the defamed) has seen, heard, or read the defamatory statement.

• No Requirement of Widespread Dissemination: It does not require widespread dissemination, such as a newspaper article or a public broadcast. Even a single communication to one other person is sufficient to meet the publication requirement.

IN ANY EVENT, PARTNER BECKMANN HAS CONFIRMED THAT HE WILL RETAIN "OUTSIDE COUNSEL". THE SLAPP DEFENDANT AWAITS SPECIFIC INFORMATION, PRIOR TO THE FILING OF THE APPLICATION.

03 August 2025 INTACT's relentless, unwavering commitment to its oppressive SLAPP litigation is virtually without legal or even ethical precedent! In the below email, in response to the SLAPP Defendant's offer to remove from this website all words and images that INTACT should deem defamatory, INTACT's Whitelaw-Whining lawyer cynically responds that INTACT "claims that every single word, image, sentence, and representation is defamatory".

In INTACT's Kafkaesque, surreal world of oppressive SLAPP litigation, and other bad faith initiatives, the SLAPP Defendant's mere citation of Strata Property Act § 155(b), and the Honourable Justice Coval's decision in the Schappert case, infra, constitutes defamation.

As noted on this informational website, Justices of the BC Supreme Court have begun to realise that INTACT's SLAPP litigation is but a thinly veiled attempt to exploit the Court's judicial resources, as an expendable tool for INTACT's bad faith retaliatory measures against Whistleblowers INTACT Privacy Officer Helen Cameron and its Insured.

29 July 2025 Below is SLAPP Defendant's Application to Disqualify the Whitelaw-Twining Partner and the entire firm, for reasons specified therein.

24 July 2025 Opposing Freedom of Speech is not Free! Opposing Justice is not Just! To date, INTACT has assigned (inhouse counsel) Casey Goodrich, (inhouse counsel) Christa Rae Cordick, (outhouse counsel) Nigel Beckmann and (outhouse counsel) Gavin Clark, in addition to several (inhouse and outhouse) lawyers, who notarised hundreds of pages of padded, frivolous Application documents. Attorney Clark no longer is assigned to this SLAPP case, and the SLAPP Defendant will deal with his replacement, whenever she/he shall be earmarked. INTACT's auxiliary personnel and claims representatives and claims managers numbers are known to exceed 11, not including support personnel of the aforementioned lawyers. Although INTACT is hardly regarded as the epitome of pro bono endeavours, the herculean womanpower, manpower and "theypower" devoted to the task of cover-up of the prohibited claims practices of Alberta Claims Manager Amanda Myers, might have been better-channeled to some worthy cause.

27 July 2025 Given the exigencies of the yet to be announced hearing at the BC Human Rights Tribunal, as well as the protection of fellow Whistleblower Privacy Officer Helen Cameron, the SLAPP Defendant has decided to assume a more proactive role, in offence of INTACT's oppressive litigation.

The below AMENDED COUNTERCLAIM is subject to further modification, upon receipt and analysis of Plaintiffs' responses to the currently pending Notices to Admit.

23 July 2025

INTACT's oppressive, bad faith tactics, as minutely detailed on this public interest website, have necessitated that the SLAPP Defendant abandon his heretofore passive defence, in support of his rights, and those of fellow Whistleblower, INTACT Privacy Officer Helen Cameron (who discovered that INTACT Claims Manager Amanda Myers had invented her false narrative of having completed a claims investigation and other prohibited claims practices).

The images to the left are of a Notice to Admit, propounded upon Myers, in the SLAPP litigation. Numbers 7 through 10 are of tangential legal significance, since there remains doubt that the Offers to the SLAPP Plaintiffs were ever communicated to, or recommended by, the conflicted-of-interest Whitelaw-Twining Partner.

The images to the right are of a Notice to Admit, propounded upon Christa Rae Cordick, regarding her perjured Affidavits, and other wrongful acts. Numbers 8 through 10 are of tangential legal significance, since there remains doubt that the Offers to the SLAPP Plaintiffs were ever communicated to, or recommended by, the conflicted-of-interest Whitelaw-Twining Partner.

The images to the left are of a Notice to Admit, propounded upon Michele Vincent, regarding her obstructive of justice involvement, in preventing INTACT's Customer Experience Team's release of its Final Business Decision letter, and other wrongful acts. Numbers 8 through 10 are of tangential legal significance, since there remains doubt that the Offers to the SLAPP Plaintiffs were ever communicated to, or recommended by, the conflicted-of-interest Whitelaw-Twining Partner.

18 July 2025 The Whitelaw-Twining Partner has recently advised that he has revised his hearing time estimate from one day to 2-3 hours. On the condition that he confirm his revised estimate to the Court, Respondent's response time estimate can be accommodated in the one day hearing.

(SLAPP) SUITS

"SUITS and SCHEMES" INTACT's Whitelaw-Twining Lawyer's (Lucrative) False Accusation Has Been Exposed

This minutely detailed, public interest website is an exposé of the abetment of INTACT INSURANCE's Lawyer (law firm Whitelaw-Twining), by his malicious prosecution of two (2) SLAPP lawsuits against an Insured of INTACT . INTACT filed the two (2) SLAPP actions against its Insured in retaliation for his creation of this website, in recognition of the efforts of the efforts of courageous whistleblower, INTACT Privacy Officer Helen Cameron, who had defied rogue, managerial elements within INTACT, by conducting her own, independent, internal affairs investigation, which exposed the cover-up that Myers had invented her false narrative of having completed a claims investigation!

30 JUNE 2025 COURTESY NOTICE TO SLAPP PLAINTIFFS, THAT THE SLAPP DEFENDANT WILL APPLY FOR AN ORDER, PURSUANT TO SUPREME COURT RULE 9-7: DECLARATORY RELIEF, FOR A JUDICIAL DETERMINATION, CONTRARY TO INTACT's COUNSEL's LETTER OF 07 DECEMBER 2023, THAT THE SLAPP DEFENDANT HAD BEEN A NAMED INSURED OF SLAPP PLAINTIFF INTACT, FOR THE PERIOD OF TIME DURING WHICH HE WAS A BONA FIDE TENANT OF PREMISES INSURED BY INTACT. THE APPLICATION WILL NOT SEEK ANY INSURANCE COVERAGE, AND THE APPLICANT WILL REQUIRE NO MORE THEN ONE (1) HOUR HEARING TIME. IT IS ANTICIPATED THAT RESPONDENT INTACT WILL REQUIRE LITTLE TIME, GIVEN THE UTTER LACK OF AUTHORITY FOR ITS ACCUSATION. FORMAL NOTICE TO BE GIVEN, PURSUANT TO RULES OF COURT. APPLICANT's LEGAL AND PERCIPIENT AUTHORITY INCLUDES: STRATA PROPERTY ACT SECTION 155(B), THE LANDMARK CASE OF STRATA PLAN VR 2213 v. SCHAPPERT, 2023 B.C.J. NO. 2272, 2023 BCSC 2080 (DECIDED BY THE HONOURABLE JUSTICE COVAL OF THE BC SUPREME COURT), CORRESPONDENCE OF INTACT PERSONNEL (SLAPP PLAINTIFFS AMANDA MYERS AND CHRISTA RAE CORDICK), ADAM TROTT INVESTIGATOR OF THE BC OMBUDSMAN OFFICE, BRUNO DE SANDO INVESTIGATOR OF THE GIO, PATRICK WILLIAMS OF RENOWNED LAW FIRM CLARK WILSON, CHOA (CONDOMINIUM HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION OF BC), THE BCFSA, PERSONNEL OF VARIOUS SCHEDULED INSURERS OF THE SUBJECT INTACT PROPERTY LIABILITY POLICY, INSURANCE BROKER GORDON LI, PROPERTY MANAGER NICO BARBU, SEDGWICK INSURANCE SR ADJUSTER DAPHNE CHAN, HEATHER BIDNALL, COMPLIANCE OFFICER OF THE INSURANCE COUNCIL OF BC, ET AL. INTACT's LAWYER, NIGEL BECKMANN's WRONGFUL LETTER OF 07 DECEMBER 2023, IN WHICH HE DEFAMATORILY ACCUSED THE SLAPP DEFENDANT OF NOT BEING AN INSURED OF INTACT, HAS BEEN THE INAUSPICIOUS GENESIS OF INTACT's MYRIAD, RESULTANT LEGAL AND ETHICAL ENTANGLEMENTS, AS THOROUGHLY DETAILED AND DOCUMENTED ON THIS INFORMATIONAL WEBSITE. APPLICANT, SLAPP DEFENDANT, LOOKS FORWARD TO INTACT's PLEADINGS, RESPONSIVE TO THE APPLICATION.

02 July 2025 SLAPP DEFENDANT'S RULE 9-7 APPLICATION HAS BEEN FILED AND SERVED. THE HEARING, AS CLEARED WITH WHITELAW-TWINING INTACT'S ATTORNEY, MR. NIGEL BECKMANN, ESQ, HAS BEEN SET FOR 01 AUGUST 2025.

16 July 2025 INTACT's Whitelaw-Twining lawyer proudly continues INTACT's relentless crusade, to abuse the resources of the BC Supreme Court, as if it were a tool for its bad faith, oppressive tactics! To the left is INTACT's Application Record, which evidences its modus operandi, to suppress the Defendant's right to participate in the hearing of INTACT's frivolous Application. During the already rescheduled hearing of 09 June 2025, the Court admonished INTACT's lawyer for setting an original hearing date with the unrealistic estimate of only 1.5 hours, and instructed that the lawyer set a new hearing date, after consulting with the Defendant. But INTACT's lawyer willfully disobeyed the Court, by setting a one (1) day hearing, specifically excluding Defendant's responsive argument in the time estimate! In the pleading to the left, the "Time Estimate of the Defendants" is "NA", evidencing INTACT's disdain for the due process rights of its Named Insureds! The Court is not powerless to protect the rights of litigants against abuses, such as those perpetrated by INTACT! Rule of Court 8-1(3) governs the setting of hearing dates and time estimates for applications. Rule 8-1(3)(c)- The Applicant must "make a good faith estimate of the time the hearing will take." Rule 8-1(3)(e): The applicant must "consult with all parties about the time estimate."

17 July 2025 ON 01 AUGUST 2025, PURSUANT TO SUPREME COURT RULE 9-7: DECLARATORY RELIEF, THE COURT WILL RULE UPON SLAPP DEFENDANT's APPLICATION FOR A JUDICIAL DETERMINATION THAT HE WAS A NAMED INSURED OF SLAPP PLAINTIFF INTACT, FOR THE PERIOD OF TIME DURING WHICH HE WAS A TENANT OF PREMISES INSURED BY INTACT, FROM 01 FEBRUARY 2019 to 31 JANUARY 2022. BY SIMPLE APPLICATION OF STRATA PROPERTY ACT SECTION 155(b) and THE LANDMARK CASE OF STRATA PLAN VR 2213 v. SCHAPPERT, (DECIDED BY THE HONOURABLE JUSTICE COVAL OF THE SAME COURT), THE COURT WILL BE ABLE TO CONSERVE MANY DAYS OF ITS PRECIOUS TIME AND RESOURCES, BY AN ORDER THAT EFFECTIVELY WILL RESULT IN THE CESSATION OF SLAPP PLAINTIFF OMBUDS[WO]MAN MICHELE VINCENT's INTERFERENCE WITH INTACT's CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE TEAM's INVESTIGATION INTO THE WRONGFUL CLAIMS PRACTICES OF SLAPP PLAINTIFF AMANDA MYERS (AN INVESTIGATION THAT VINCENT HAD ASSIGNED TO THE CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE TEAM ON 23 MAY 2023).

According to their Whitelaw-Twining lawyer, SLAPP Plaintiffs INTACT and its employées, Plaintiffs Amanda Myers, Christa Rae Cordick and Michele Vincent have rejected the SLAPP Defendant's Offer of permanent deactivation of this website. (Not as an admission or concession, but rather as a gesture of conciliation). A prima facie example of the arrantly malicious motives of the SLAPP Plaintiffs, they refuse to cease litigation, even upon the SLAPP Defendant's Offer to accord the entirety of the permanent relief that they seek in their SLAPP litigation!

In his customary, unbridled bluster, the Whitelaw-Twining lawyer unsuccessfully attempts to intimidate the SLAPP Defendant, by vacuously threatening the absurdity that the Court would render costs against the SLAPP Defendant, for his relentless attempts to extrajudicially settle the SLAPP action, and thus conserve an entire day of the Court's time, for the Application for temporary relief, that the SLAPP Plaintiffs have reserved for 13 August 2025! Eine richtige Schande!

We shall see to whom costs are awarded, given that the defamatory nature of Beckmann's false assertion is arrantly discredited by the Strata Property Act Section 155(b), the landmark case of Strata Plan VR 2213 v. Schappert, 2023 B.C.J. No. 2272, 2023 BCSC 2080 (decided by the Honourable Justice Coval of the BC Supreme Court), correspondence of INTACT personnel (SLAPP Plaintiffs Amanda Myers and Christa Rae Cordick), Adam Trott investigator of the BC Ombudsman Office, Bruno de Sando investigator of the GIO, Patrick Williams of renowned law firm Clark Wilson, CHOA (Condominium Homeowners Association of BC), the BCFSA, personnel of various Scheduled Insurers of the subject INTACT property liability policy, Insurance Broker Gordon Li, Property Manager Nico Barbu, Sedgwick Insurance Adjuster Daphne Chan, Heather Bidnall, Compliance Officer of the Insurance Council of BC, et al.

The image to the left, albeit fictional, is of facts that will forever forge SLAPP Plaintiffs INTACT, Amanda Myers, Christa Rae Cordick and Michele Vincent as the antagonists, prima facie embodiment of the elements of malicious SLAPP litigation, for which the Courts (in Supreme Court of Canada case of Hansman v Neufeld, 2023 SCC 14) and Legislature (in the Protection of Public Participation Act), have expressed extreme distaste! Indeed, in view of the convoluted, egregious conduct of the Insurance Company SLAPP Plaintiffs (as minutely detailed and documented on this website) this case is clearly destined to become a landmark case, in Canada's emphasis upon human rights and freedom of expression! In the likely event that the SLAPP Plaintiffs should continue on their self-destructive trajectory, then the media will begin to cover this case, as the trial date approaches.

23 June 2025 Rule of Court 9-1 encourages extrajudicial settlements. SLAPP Defendant will ultimately present to the Court (be it by Application, Responsive Pleadings and/or Trial), the extensive paper trail of Offers made to and rejected by all SLAPP Plaintiffs. SLAPP Defendant looks forward to intensive examination of the Plaintiffs, at trial. However, in light of Rule of Court 9-1, an equitable, extrajudicial resolution is not without the realm of contemplation. Thus, if INTACT, SLAPP Plaintiffs Amanda Myers, Christa Rae Cordick or Michele Vincent should express interest in the "without prejudice" discussion of a possible discontinuance of the Counterclaim against them, it is requested of its counsel from Whitelaw-Twining that he, or anyone else with authority, broach the possibility with SLAPP Defendant. The woefully conflicted-of-interest Whitelaw-Twining Partner refuses to allow any settlement of claims between/among the parties, without inclusion of a release of claims against the Partner and Whitelaw-Twining. No Offer extended to any SLAPP Plaintiff is inclusive of a release of any claim, as against Whitelaw-Twining or its Partner!

Below image of INTACT's Discontinuation of SLAPP action VLC-S-S-244484, filed on 07 August 2024

24 June 2025 The three images to the left are an indication that the ulterior motive of Plaintiffs, Claims Manager Amanda Myers, Lawyer Christa Rae Cordick and Ombuds[wo]man Michele Vincent, with their SLAPP lawsuits against INTACT's Insured Defendant, was/is harassment, to bully him into the withdrawal of his Complaint to INTACT, of the various wrongful activities, committed by the Plaintiffs, and uncovered by fellow whistleblower, INTACT Privacy Officer Helen Cameron.

In the first image, the Plaintiffs claimed "general damages", in addition to the injunctive relief that the Insured permanently deactivate this website, relief which he had offered to the Plaintiffs, on three (3) occasions prior to the filing of their SLAPP, and on eight (8) occasions thereafter, as thoroughly documented on this website.

On each of the eleven (11) occasions, all of the Plaintiffs rejected the Offers to permanently deactivate this website, because their malicious, ulterior motivation was/is that the Insured Defendant withdraw his request that INTACT's Customer Experience Team release their Final Business Decision letter regarding the Insured's Complaint, which was assigned to the Team investigators on 26 May 2023.

The image to the left is of Plaintiffs' SLAPP, filed just two (2) days after their first SLAPP. In INTACT's rare moment of truth, in the new SLAPP, the Plaintiffs have conspicuously deleted their claim for "general damages", leaving only the injunctive relief that the Defendant permanently deactivate this website, the exact relief that he had offered to the Plaintiffs on three (3) occasions prior to the filing of their SLAPPs, and on eight (8) occasions thereafter, as thoroughly documented on this website.

The image to the left is of Plaintiffs' NOTICE OF DISCONTINUANCE of their first SLAPP, in which they had sought "general damages".

In summary, the Plaintiffs originally had contemplated the additional, oppressive, malicious element of "general damages", but they ultimately abandoned such, because their wrongful, malicious ulterior motivations are unsustainable, legally or even morally!

The wayward Plaintiffs continue to reject Offers of the Defendant, to permanently deactivate this website. Their perfidy will be fully exposed at trial!

INTACT's SLAPP Defendant RB, in his relentless efforts to conserve the Court's precious time and resources, per Rule of Court 1-3, rendered a good faith offer to Whitelaw-Twining's Partner, which had the realistic potential of the deactivation of this informational website, on the condition that INTACT, simply conduct a standard, good faith claims investigation, to replace the false narrative of having completed an investigation, as claimed by Claims Manager Amanda Myers.

Although not broached, Whitelaw-Twining Partner Beckmann's deceitful, defamatory, false allegation that RB was not an insured of INTACT, and had submitted his claim under false pretences, has always been an impediment to an extrajudicial resolution. Beckmann's "responsive" email (to the left), is a clear and concise affirmation of INTACT's decision to continue to conceal the illegal practices of its rogue managers and other personnel. RB intends to accommodate INTACT's intransigence, looks forward to judicial resolution, but respectfully requests of Attorney Beckmann that he cease wasting RB's time, just to accumulate Whitelaw-Twining's billing hours!

19 June 2025 TIME-LIMITED, OFFER NUMBER SEVEN (7), TO DEACTIVATE THIS WEBSITE INTACT's SLAPP Defendant has been unable to conceal the fact that this wife (a co-Named Insured resident of the INTACT insured premises, at all times relevant) has been severely affected by INTACT's intentional infliction of emotion distress, as detailed herein. Therefore, in deference to his wife's well-being, this SLAPP Defendant reluctantly agrees to succumb to INTACT's demands that this website be deactivated. (SLAPP Plaintiff) Ombuds[wo]man Michele Vincent assigned RB's formal Complaint (of Claims Manager Amanda Myers' illegal claims practices) to INTACT's Customer Experience Team, more than two (2) years ago (on 26 May 2023). Upon INTACT's timely agreement that the Customer Experience Team will release the vaunted "Final Business Decision Letter", as specified in the below email, this website will be deactivated. Although not a condition of the Offer, SLAPP Defendant and his wife would greatly appreciate INTACT's acceptance, as soon as possible.

Thank you.

AS PRECISELY DOCUMENTED ON THIS INFORMATIONAL WEBSITE, INTACT AND ITS ROGUE PERSONNEL HAVE ATTEMPTED TO CONCEAL THEIR VARIOUS UNLAWFUL ACTIVITIES, BY FILING TWO (2) SLAPPs AGAINST THEIR NAMED INSURED, "RB". AT THE SECOND HEARING OF ITS APPLICATION TO TEMPORARILY DEACTIVATE THIS WEBSITE, MADAME JUSTICE LAURIE CHIDED INTACT's LAWYER, FOR HIS DEVIOUS SHORT-TIME HEARING ESTIMATE OF 1.5 HOURS, WHEN HE FINALLY ADMITTED THAT HE NEEDED AN ENTIRE DAY OF THE COURT'S TIME.

AT THE THIRD HEARING, THE COURT WILL BE ALERTED TO THE FACT THAT THE RELIEF THAT INTACT SEEKS, (THE DEACTIVATION OF THIS WEBSITE) HAD BEEN OFFERED ON SEVEN (7) OCCASIONS- THREE (3) PRIOR TO THE FILINGS OF ITS SLAPPs, AND FOUR (4) THEREAFTER.

IN THE LIKELY EVENT THAT INTACT SHOULD IGNORE THE BELOW OFFER [OFFER NO. SEVEN (7)], AT THE BEGINNING OF THE ENTIRE ONE DAY HEARING THAT THE COURT HAS SCHEDULED FOR INTACT's APPLICATION, THE SLAPP DEFENDANT WILL ALERT THE COURT TO THE FACT THAT AN ENTIRE DAY OF ITS PRECIOUS TIME AND RESOURCES HAS BEEN SACRIFICED BY INTACT's ABUSE OF THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM, IN A COVER-UP OF THE RESULTS OF INTACT PRIVACY OFFICER'S INTERNAL AFFAIRS PROBE, THAT UNCOVERED THAT CLAIMS MANAGER AMANDA MYERS HAD ENGAGED IN THE ILLEGAL CLAIMS ACTIVITIES, AS DETAILED AND DOCUMENTED ON THIS WEBSITE.

15 June 2025

As thoroughly documented on this public interest website, INTACT's bad faith practices begin with its house counsel, SLAPP Plaintiff Christa Rae Cordick's material false representations of fact and of law, to Judges of the Provincial Court (in oral testimony and pleadings), and perjured Affidavits, in her Application for an Interlocutory Order, in the Supreme Court. Although Attorney Cordick is in violation of several ethical canons of the LSBC, such is not the focus of the herein exposition. Zum Beispiel Although the SLAPP Defendant is a statutory Named Insured of INTACT, of greater legal significance is the fact that Strata Corporation 2845, of the residence which he occupied, was an actual Named Insured, under INTACT property liability policy

Yet, in order to avoid the reality that the SLAPP Defendant statutory Named Insured was a resident of a Strata Property, Unit 1702, INTACT and its Whitelaw-Twining Insurance Department Director, Nigel Beckmann, disingenuously argue that "RB" is not entitled to coverage as a statutory Named Insured, while dismissing the legal reality that "RB's" unit had been subjected to a pigeon faecal matter spore infestation, emanating from a physically inaccessible, ornamental, concrete pigeon roost, a condition covered by INTACT's policy #CMW M1756, and that separate and apart from his status as a statutory Named Insured, he was in fact a lawful claimant to such coverage. The wrongful, collusive acts of Claims Manager Amanda Myers, declaring that the inaccessible pigeon roost was part of the insured unit's premises, and that language exclusionary to coverage had been triggered, is yet another link of the concatenation of tortious act that INTACT and its rogue employé(e)s and lawyers have perpetrated upon "RB" and the BC judicial system!

Cordick actively refused "RB's" constant requests that she communicate the pigeon faecal matter health hazard to the other Scheduled Insurers, as required by the BLF master policy, and those insurers do not accept claims directly from individuals.

16 June 2025

"Madam Justice, this SLAPP action before you, a case that is destined to be a future oft-cited prima-facie example of the malicious extremes to which a SLAPP Plaintiff will sink, in order to curtail the free speech rights of a Whistleblower, who has brought to light the results of an internal affairs investigation, that exposed major unlawful, prohibited activities on the part of one of the Plaintiffs of this SLAPP, Claims Manager Amanda Myers. The Court record of this SLAPP, itself, defines the frivolous, malicious nature of the SLAPP. Although the Defendant had offered all of the relief sought by the Plaintiffs several months prior to the filing of the SLAPPs, on 08 July 2024 Plaintiffs filed their first SLAPP (Court File No. VLC-S-S-244484) alleging monetary damages. However, only two days thereafter, on 10 July 2024, Court (Court File No. VLC-S-S-244577) Plaintiffs filed their second SLAPP, which sought only injunctive relief, devoid of any claim for monetary damages. The Plaintiffs have since abandoned any claim for monetary damages, by discontinuation of the first SLAPP. Other evidence of the purely malicious nature of the surviving SLAPP is the fact that on 02 December 2024, SLAPP Defendant RB offered to the Plaintiffs to remove from the website all traces of their identities, job descriptions, titles, etc from the website, in exchange for their voluntary discontinuation of their civil action. Although their Attorney confirmed the offer in an email, expressing his interest in the offer, the Plaintiffs soundly rejected same, as they have similar, subsequent offers including allowing them unfettered, exclusive control of the website, in order to remove and and all material that they, in their sole discretion, should deem defamatory! The Plaintiffs should be sanctioned to the fullest extent, for their abuse of the Court's precious time and resources, as if our judicial system were an enforcer of their malicious, oppressive and costly retaliatory motives!

A decision of Plaintiff INTACT's Privacy Officer, that .Defendant's herculean efforts to prevent Whitelaw-Twining Partner's abuse of the Court's precious time and resources have been unsuccessful, as the Plaintiff persists in his outrageous attempts to conceal the illegal acts of a Claims Manager, as discovered by Plaintiff's Privacy Officer, as detailed in Defendant's Affidavit. Although the Defendant's case before the Human Rights Tribunal has not yet been scheduled for hearing, Whitelaw-Twining's Partner's false accusations against the Defendant are expressed in the Defendant's Affidavits, which include such authority as Strata Property Act Section 155(b) (2) the landmark case of Strata Plan VR 2213 v. Schappert, 2023 B.C.J. No. 2272, 2023 BCSC 2080 (decided by the Honourable Justice Coval of the BC Supreme Court), correspondence of INTACT personnel (SLAPP Plaintiffs Amanda Myers and Christa Rae Cordick), Adam Trott investigator of the BC Ombudsman Office, Bruno de Sando investigator of the GIO, Patrick Williams of renowned law firm Clark Wilson, CHOA (Condominium Homeowners Association of BC), the BCFSA, personnel of various Scheduled Insurers of the subject INTACT property liability policy, Insurance Broker Gordon Li, Property Manager Nico Barbu, Sedgwick Insurance Sr Adjuster Daphne Chan, Heather Bidnall, Compliance Officer of the Insurance Council of BC, et al.

11 June 2025

INTACT continues its relentless exploitation of the taxpayer-funded resources of the BC judicial system, with INTACT's SLAPP litigation, to prevent exposure of the wrongful claims practice of its Claims Manager, Amanda Myers! INTACT would be ill-advised to file a companion SLAPP against "RB's" fellow Whistleblower, Privacy Officer, Helen Cameron, whose internal affairs probe uncovered that Myers had invented her false narrative of having completed a claims investigation! To the right is INTACT's Whistleblower Named Insured's Application to Dismiss INTACT's SLAPP. The stages of the Application's development will be updated.

Just one of many examples of INTACT's brazen violations of good faith conduct toward its Named Insured, the above legal pleading was filed in the matter of its malicious SLAPP. Abundant documentary evidence on this website attests to the fact that in addition to the perjured Affidavits that the tortious Claims Manager Amanda Myers had filed, (1) her own letter of 30 September 2021 confirmed Defendant "RB" status as a Named Insured, and (2) no claims investigation has ever been conducted, according to the internal affairs probe of Privacy Officer Helen Cameron. In a woefully misguided lapse of moral clarity, Claims Manager Myers went on to become a lead Plaintiff in the malicious SLAPP against INTACT's Named Insured, and filed perjured Affidavits for INTACT's Application to curtail Defendant's right to expose the Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress to which INTACT has subjected him.

As abundantly documented on this informational website, Whitelaw-Twining's Nigel Beckmann is the architect of the Pyramid of Lies, with his scurrilous, accusation (that he widely publicised) of his Client INTACT Insurance's Named Insured, as being a third party non-Insured, and of submission of a claim with INTACT under false pretences.

SLAPP Defendant "RB" can file a Motion to Dismiss INTACT's SLAPP litigation, OR in light of the BC Supreme Court's emphasis upon Rule 1-3, and its requirement of "proportionality" a less labour-intensive, immediate remedy would be a simple Application for an Order that INTACT's counsel Nigel Beckmann withdraw his defamatory accusation of Defendant's wrongdoing, the cornerstone of the Pyramid of Lies, upon which the entirety of INTACT's legal entanglements lie.

Since Attorney Beckmann refuses to voluntarily withdraw the above defamatory accusation, or offer even a scintilla of legitimacy or veracity of his accusation, the above Application will compel that he provide inculpatory elements of his Affidavit, in opposition to the aforementioned Application.

WHISTLEBLOWER # 1 - INTACT PRIVACY OFFICER HELEN CAMERON In her public announcement of 19 January 2024, INTACT's courageous and conscientious, powerhouse Whistleblower, Privacy Officer Helen Cameron, confirmed the results of her independent internal affairs probe, that Alberta Claims Manager Amanda Myers had invented her false narrative of having completed a claims investigation! The Privacy Officer's revelation led to the discovery that Claims Manager Myers had engaged in other wrongful claims practices, as minutely detailed and documented on this informational website. As the investigation progressed, it was discovered that INTACT *Ombuds[wo]man Michele Vincent had wrongfully interfered with an investigation of Claims Manager Myers' unlawful activities, which Ms. Vincent, herself, had assigned to INTACT's Claims Experience Team. Ombuds[wo]man Vincent's clandestine intervention culminated in her order to the Customer Experience Team to permanently cease and desist its investigation of Myers' rogue activities. In furtherance of INTACT's egregious verbotene activities, against a Named Insured, Whitelaw-Twining (a local, boutique law firm) was retained, with the Director of its Defamation Department falsely accusing the Named Insured of submission of a claim with INTACT, under false pretences (as abundantly detailed and documented on this website). Although INTACT has not yet filed a SLAPP against Privacy Officer Helen Cameron, it the company should be so reckless, then the Administrator of this informational website pledges to devote factual coverage thereof to Ms. Cameron.

*Disclaimer: "RB" has long requested that INTACT adopt the term "Ombudswoman" for the position, which is currently occupied by such. However, INTACT, with its claims of "inclusion", is still mired in the antiquated concept of male supremacy, with its occasional usage of the wimpy term "ombuds", as if giving full credit to the phenomenal accomplishments of women were somehow a gesture of compromise!

WHISTLEBLOWER # 2 - INTACT NAMED INSURED "RB"

As abundantly detailed and documented on this informational website, in a letter of 07 December 2023 to INTACT's Named Insured "RB", Whitelaw-Twining's Defamation Department Director, Nigel Beckmann levelled the false accusation (that Beckmann widely publicised), that "RB" had submitted a claim with INTACT, under false pretences. When "RB" refused to succumb to Attorney Beckmann's wrongful attempts to intimidate "RB" into withdrawal of his claim, Beckmann filed two (2) SLAPPs against "RB", and as detailed herein, Beckmann persists upon abusing the precious time and resources of the BC Supreme Court, as if the Court were an instrument of enforcement of INTACT's campaign to conceal the facts of the unlawful activities of its rogue Claims Manager Myers, and Ombuds[wo]man Vincent.

INTACT INSURANCE's DILEMMA OF TWO INDEPENDENT WHISTLEBLOWERS

07 June 2025

INTACT INSURANCE has squandered tens of thousands of dollars, having engaged four (4) hyper-zealous lawyers, such as Nigel Beckmann, who alleged untrue statements in an investigative letter to INTACT report to the company. INTACT continues its aggressive campaign, to avoid the consequences of its human rights abuses, as detailed on this informational website.

There is currently pending in the BC Human Rights Tribunal, a Complaint against INTACT, for its abuses of the human rights of the whistleblower Defendant of INTACT's two (2) SLAPPs.

At the Human Rights Tribunal hearing, testimony will be elicited from fellow whistleblower INTACT PRIVACY OFFICER Helen Cameron, whose internal affairs probe exposed INTACT Claims Manager Amanda Myers had invented her false narrative of having completed a claims investigation, as well as others of her wrongful claims activities.

INTACT Public Entities (a subsidiary of Intact Insurance) has been faced with the dilemma of a significant increase in discrimination claims being filed against INTACT, such as the case of Shahin v. Intact Insurance Company (2024 ONSC 2059). General damages awarded by Human Rights Tribunals in Canada for injury to dignity, feelings, and self-respect, are on the increase, due to such egregious abuses, as minutely detailed on this informational website.

FORMAL LEGAL NOTICE OF INTENT AND PURPOSE*

*This website has been created and maintained by "RB", a Canadian retired, locally renowned carpet installer, and a Named Insured of INTACT Insurance.

The intent and purpose of this website is to respectfully bring to the attention of INTACT Insurance Senior Legal Counsel Mathieu Grenier and Legal Compliance Officer Frédéric Cotnoir, serious legal irregularities of INTACT personnel, including the results of an internal affairs probe, conducted by Privacy Officer Helen Cameron, who uncovered that Claims Manager Amanda Myers had invented her false narrative of having completed a claims investigation that RB had submitted, as well as others of Myers' wrongful claims practices.

Other issues that "RB" has communicated to INTACT management involves INTACT lawyer Nigel Beckmann's false accusation that "RB" had submitted his claim with INTACT under the false pretence of being an insured of the company, Mr. Beckmann's false accusation has been arrantly discredited by Strata Property Act § 155(b), which was incorporated into the recent Decision of the Honourable Justice Coval of the BC Supreme Court, in the landmark case of Strata Plan VR 2213 v. Schappert, 2023 B.C.J. No. 2272, 2023 BCSC 2080

Another element of this website is INTACT's oppressive, two (2) Strategic Lawsuits Against Public Participation SLAPP) actions that its lawyer, Nigel Beckmann filed against Named Insured "RB".

British Columbia has protective anti-SLAPP legislation, entitled the Protection of Public Participation Act [PPPA], Section 4 of which encourages courts to cleanse the judicial system of such abusive litigation, upon a Defendant's Application for a Dismissal Order. Unable to find a lawyer who will represent "RB" for less than $20,000, he intends to file for such a Dismissal Order, as as he has sufficiently researched such a "DIY" endeavour.

SLAPP actions, such as INTACT's, are universally disfavoured by Legislatures and the Courts. Indeed, the Supreme Court of Canada released its latest decision interpreting anti-SLAPP legislation in Canada. A 6-1 majority of the Court in Hansman v Neufeld, 2023 SCC 14, restored an order dismissing a plaintiff’s claim under British Columbia’s anti-SLAPP legislation.

The Supreme Court of Canada’s decision centered upon the balancing of the public interest in protecting the defendant’s impugned expression against the plaintiff’s right to protect their reputation. The Court had specific reference to Charter jurisprudence under ss. 2(b) and 15(1) in determining the level of protection that should be afforded to certain expressions. In particular, where the impugned expression is “counter-speech” intended to respond to ignorant or harmful expressions against a vulnerable group, that may weigh more heavily in the balancing exercise in favour of protecting that speech.

CONCLUSION

This website, documenting the facts of INTACT's oppressive litigation against "RB's" right to freedom of expression to communicate with INTACT's managerial personnel, in a factual, albeit critical manner, does not constitute defamation!

Above image of Attorney Beckmann's letter, falsely accusing "RB" of not being an insured of INTACT.

09 June 2025

The Court refused to hear INTACT's Application for an Interlocutory Order, on the basis that although INTACT had reserved an unrealistic only 1.5 hours of the Court's time for its Application, when INTACT's counsel began to vastly exceed the permissible parameters of the Affidavits, the Court realised that an entire one day hearing would be required, which INTACT is to schedule.

Furthermore, when Defendant/Respondent "RB" apprised the Court of his intention to file an Application to Dismiss INTACT's SLAPP action, in accordance with Section 4 of the anti-SLAPP Protection of Public Participation Act [PPPA], the Court instructed that his Application to Dismiss be filed as soon as practicable, in recognition of the fact that such a Dismissal would obviate the necessity of a hearing of INTACT's continued Application for an Interlocutory Order , as well as other Applications, and even a trial, per the letter and spirit of Rule of Court 1-3, to conserve the Court's precious time and resources.

10 June 2025

Respectful request of INTACT Insurance Senior Legal Counsel Mathieu Grenier, Legal Compliance Officer Frédéric Cotnoir and Whitelaw-Twining Partner Nigel Beckmann.

As know of the outcome of today's hearing, INTACT and "RB" are to agree upon a date for a one day hearing of INTACT's Application for an Interlocutory Order.

Upon "RB's" notice to the Court of his intention to file a an Application to Dismiss INTACT's SLAPP action, in accordance with Section 4 of the anti-SLAPP Protection of Public Participation Act [PPPA], the Court agreed that both Applications could be heard one the same day, and that, in conformity with Rule of Court 1-3, that Defendant's Application to Dismiss precede INTACT's Application, since if the Application to Dismiss is granted, then INTACT's Application, and any other expenditure of the Court's precious resources would be conserved.

"RB" stand ready to extend full cooperation to INTACT's lawyers, to stipulate to the foregoing, per the common obligation to conform with the spirit of "proportionality" of Rule 1-3.

Thank you. RB

INTACT INSURANCE's BIZARRE, UNSUBSTANTIATED LEGAL THEORY, THAT DEFIES THE STRATA PROPERTY ACT, THE HONOURABLE JUSTICE COVAL AND ALMOST FORTY (40) PERCIPIENT WITNESSES (as fully detailed herein), RAISES A SIGNIFICANT CHALLENGE TO AN ALREADY OVERBURDENED JUDICIAL SYSTEM, AND A MOCKERY OF THE STATUTES AND CASE LAW THAT DEFINE CANADA's EXEMPLARY LEGAL PRECEPTS OF JUSTICE AND FAIR PLAY.

02 June 2025

The British Columbia Supreme Court Civil Rules, such as Rule 9-1, include provisions designed to encourage litigants to seek extrajudicial remedies prior to filing formal Motions and Applications. These rules emphasise proportionality, early resolution, and case management, in order to ensure that disputes be resolved in a just, speedy, and inexpensive manner.

In violation of the proportionality of Rule of Court 1-3/Rule 9.1, INTACT's lawyer, Whitelaw-Twining Partner, Nigel Beckmann, in an email of 30 May 2025, rejected Defendant's offer to obviate the necessity of INTACT's Application for an Interlocutory Order, by offering to surrender absolute, unrestricted control of this website to the Plaintiffs, in order to enable them to remove, in their sole discretion, all content from this website that they should deem, even in bad faith, "defamatory".

Attorney Beckmann confirmed his position that every statement of this website is defamatory, including statutory authority [STRATA PROPERTY ACT § 155(b), judicial authority [THE RULING OF THE HONOURABLE JUDGE COVAL OF THE BC SUPREME COURT], regulatory authority [SECTION 80.3(1) OF THE FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS ACT] and the documented results of INTACT PRIVACY OFFICER Helen Cameron's internal affairs probe, which uncovered that INTACT Claims Manager Amanda Myers had invented her false narrative of having completed a claims investigation, which precipitated violations of the [PERSONAL INFORMATION PROTECTION ACT (PIPA)], S.B.C. 2003, c. 63.

Although INTACT has legions of combat ready legal professional warriors at its costly command, it remains eternally conflicted with the truth and facts, as it mercilessly exploits the precious resources of the Supreme Court, as an instrument of its malicious SLAPP litigation!

INTRODUCING THE DISTINGUISHED GENTLEMEN AT INTACT FINANCIAL WHO STAND WOEFULLY REMISS IN THEIR DUTIES OF ENFORCEMENT OF REGULATORY, STATUTORY AND JUDICIAL DIRECTIVES

IF FREE SPEECH RIGHTS ARE TO PREVAIL, AS METICULOUSLY DOCUMENTED ON THIS WEBSITE, INTACT INSURANCE's NAMED INSURED, THE IN PRO SE DEFENDANT OF ITS TWO (2) SLAPP ACTIONS MUST SUCCESSFULLY EXPOSE THE FACT THAT HIS OPPONENT, "SLAPP PROSECUTOR", NIGEL BECKMANN (PARTNER OF LAW FIRM WHITELAW-TWINING), HAS RESORTED TO THE FILING OF DEMONSTRABLY FALSE PLEADINGS, AS WELL AS PERJURED AFFIDAVITS.

IN VIEW OF INTACT's ABUSIVE OF PROCESS MANIPULATION OF THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM, AS A VEXATIOUS TOOL TO HARASS ITS NAMED INSURED DEFENDANT, AND INFLICT UPON HIM EMOTIONAL DISTRESS, THE SITUATION WARRANTS AN APPLICATION ON DEFENDANT's PART, TO DISMISS INTACT's MALICIOUS SLAPPs.

ALTHOUGH THE NAMED INSURED DEFENDANT HAS ENDEAVOURED TO LIMIT THE SCOPE OF PROPAGATION OF THIS WEBSITE, INTACT's INTENTIONAL INFLICTION OF EMOTION DISTRESS UPON HIM NECESSITATES THAT HE SLIGHTLY EXPAND THIS WEBSITE's PARAMETRES, IN ORDER TO ATTRACT THE INTEREST OF A PRO BONO LAWYER, OR IF SHE SHOULD BE UNAVAILABLE, AT LEAST ONE WHO WOULD AGREE TO A SLAPP DEFENCE, FOR LESS THAN $20,000.

THUS, DEFENDANT IS ON TO AN EXTENSIVE EFFORT TO LOCATE A PRO BONO LAWYER, OR A SOCIAL INFLUENCER, ANTIPATHETIC TO INTACT's RELENTLESS CRUSADE AGAINST FREE SPEECH AND FUNDAMENTAL HUMAN RIGHTS.

THE OFFICE OF THE BC ATTORNEY GENERAL IS CURRENTLY RECONSIDERING INTERVENTION IN THE INTACT SLAPPs SINCE, UNLIKE COMMON SLAPPs, INTACT's SLAPPs CONTAIN THE DUPLICITOUS ELEMENT OF INTACT's WHITELAW-TWINING ATTORNEY's FABRICATION OF THE PREMISE UPON WHICH INTACT's SLAPPs ARE PREDICATED - THAT INTACT's NAMED INSURED HAD SUBMITTED AN INSURANCE CLAIM UNDER THE FALSE PRETENCE OF BEING A NAMED INSURED OF INTACT.

STATEMENT OF INTENT AND PURPOSE OF THIS METICULOUSLY DETAILED AND DOCUMENTED, STRICTLY INFORMATIONAL WEBSITE.

AS EXPOSED BY AN INTERNAL AFFAIRS PROBE, CONDUCTED BY INTACT INSURANCE PRIVACY OFFICER HELEN CAMERON, IN 2021 INTACT CLAIMS MANAGER AMANDA MYERS HAD FABRICATED HER INVESTIGATION, IN ADDITION TO OTHER WRONGFUL, PROHIBITED ACTS, REGARDING A CLAIM SUBMITTED BY A NAMED INSURED OF INTACT. THE NAMED INSURED IMMEDIATELY FILED A FORMAL COMPLAINT AGAINST THE ERRANT CLAIMS MANAGER WITH INTACT's OMBUDS[WO]MAN, MICHELE VINCENT, IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 80.3(1) OF THE FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS ACT.

HOWEVER, INSTEAD OF INVESTIGATION OF THE CLAIMS MANAGER's DOCUMENTED WRONGFUL ACTIVITIES, INTACT ENGAGED NIGEL BECKMANN, OF THE LAW FIRM WHITELAW-TWINING, WHO SERVED A LETTER UPON THE NAMED INSURED, THREATENING TO SUE THE NAMED INSURED FOR THE FACTUAL, DOCUMENTED INFORMATION AND DOCUMENTATION DISPLAYED ON THIS WEBSITE. WHEN THE NAMED INSURED REFUSED TO SUCCUMB TO THE LAWYER's DEMAND, THE LAWYER FILED TWO (2) SLAPPs AGAINST THE NAMED INSURED.

ALTHOUGH THE INFORMATION AND DOCUMENTATION ON THIS WEBSITE IS UNAVOIDABLY CRITICAL OF THE ACTS AND OMISSIONS OF CERTAIN INTACT PERSONNEL, ALL STATEMENTS ARE FULLY SUPPORTED BY THE METICULOUS DOCUMENTATION OF THE FACTS.

In a futile attempt to justify his two (2) SLAPPs against the Defendant, INTACT's lawyer is the only person on the planet who pretends that the Defendant is not a Named Insured of INTACT.

Moreover, even INTACT personnel, Plaintiffs Amanda Myers, Christa Rae Cordick and Michele Vincent had confirmed the Defendant's status as a Named Insured, and no one else from INTACT, or any other lawyer of INTACT's lawyers has come forward to support the Partner's contrary-to-fact illusion.

INTACT's INDEFENSIBLE LEGAL POSITION (THE BASIS FOR ITS MALICIOUS SLAPP LITIGATION), IS A CONTEMPTIBLE DEFIANCE OF BC SUPREME COURT's HONOURABLE JUSTICE COVAL's LANDMARK DECISION OF STRATA PLAN VR 2213 v SCHAPPERT (cited and detailed herein) AND AN EGREGIOUS VIOLATION OF THE "PROPORTIONALITY" REQUIREMENT OF SUPREME COURT RULE 1-3

With its aggressive SLAPP prosecutions, replete with perjured Affidavits, INTACT Insurance refuses to withdraw its lawyer's malicious accusation that Defendant had misrepresented himself as a Named Insured of INTACT, and that he had filed an insurance claim under the false pretence of being such.

The statutory, judicial and regulatory authority that arrantly discredits INTACT's lawyer's assertion include:

Strata Property Act Section 155(b) (2) the landmark case of Strata Plan VR 2213 v. Schappert, 2023 B.C.J. No. 2272, 2023 BCSC 2080 (decided by the Honourable Justice Coval of the BC Supreme Court), correspondence of INTACT personnel (SLAPP Plaintiffs Amanda Myers and Christa Rae Cordick), Adam Trott investigator of the BC Ombudsman Office, Bruno de Sando investigator of the GIO, Patrick Williams of renowned law firm Clark Wilson, CHOA (Condominium Homeowners Association of BC), the BCFSA, personnel of various Scheduled Insurers of the subject INTACT property liability policy, Insurance Broker Gordon Li, Property Manager Nico Barbu, Sedgwick Insurance Sr Adjuster Daphne Chan, Heather Bidnall, Compliance Officer of the Insurance Council of BC, et al.

As fully documented on this whistleblower's website, INTACT's false filings and perjured Affidavits are not the only malicious falsehoods that it has perpetrated upon regulatory agencies and the Supreme Court.

Per Court filings and other misrepresentations, INTACT has propagated the arrant falsehood that the Defendant had forfeited his Named Insured insurance coverage by residing in a common area, which is, in fact, a physically inaccessible, tiny, contaminated, narrow, cemented ornamental pigeon roost, which required a 3-person specialty crew to remediate. (see below images). The percipient witnesses of these facts, which expose INTACT's perjured Affidavits, as well as other aspects of INTACT's criminality, include:

Dr. Leo Perra, LMS 2845 Strata President, Alexandre Korecki Property Management Owner, Nico Barbu Property Manager, Scott Chen Unit 1702 Owner, Michael Bromm lawyer of Unit owner, Humane Solutions Remediation Specialist, Mike Blackall, Property Manager, Ray Nouri LMS2845 Building Superintendent, Building Inspectors of the City of Richmond, Health authorities, etc.

AS METICULOUSLY DETAILED AND DOCUMENTED HEREIN, SR LEGAL COUNSEL MATHIEU GRENIER AND LEGAL COMPLIANCE OFFICER FREDERIC COTNOIR, HAVE IGNORED THE REPEATED PLEAS OF INTACT's NAMED INSURED, TO CEASE AND DESIST INTACT's MALICIOUS SLAPP LITIGATION, .

LEGAL NOTICE: AS OF 02 MAY 2025, THE ENTIRETY OF INTACT's NAMED INSURED DEFENDANT's RULE OF COURT 1-3 OFFERS TO RESOLVE ALL ISSUES EXTRAJUDICALLY HAVE LAPSED, BY WAY OF NON-ACCEPTANCE, AND ARE HEREBY PERMANENTLY WITHDRAWN.

This Whistleblower website lauds the anti-corruption contributions of INTACT Insurance Privacy Officer, Helen Cameron, who, as minutely detailed, infra, assumed the solemn responsibility of conducting her own, independent internal affairs probe, which exposed that INTACT Alberta Claims Manager Amanda Myers, had wrongfully fabricated one of Myers' claims investigation, and had wrongfully predicated the denial of an insurance claim, based upon the false description of an INTACT Named Insured as having occupied an inaccessible, common area ornamental pigeon roost.

Whistleblower Helen Cameron, a dedicated and highly skilled professional, whose exceptional abilities, leadership, and integrity set her apart. Helen's extensive academic background, having earned both a Bachelor’s degree from Algonquin College of Applied Arts and Technology and a Bachelor of Arts from Carleton University, serves as a strong foundation for her remarkable expertise.

As INTACT’s Privacy Officer, Helen has consistently demonstrated her commitment to ethical practices and transparency. Her role demanded keen analytical skills and unwavering integrity—qualities that she exemplified when she took the initiative to conduct an internal affairs investigation into wrongful activity within the company. Through her thorough and meticulous probe, Helen successfully uncovered prohibited misconduct by Claims Manager Amanda Myers, who had fabricated a critical claims investigation. Helen's ability to detect and expose such a significant violation not only safeguarded the company’s credibility but also reinforced the importance of accountability within the organisation.

Helen’s leadership extends beyond compliance and investigative responsibilities. Her approach to work is defined by efficiency, creativity, and eloquence, consistently delivering high-quality results and innovative solutions. A fast learner with a keen ability to adapt, Helen excels both in collaborative team environments and in independent roles.

Helen’s professional portfolio includes invaluable contributions to education and mentorship. She has tutored English as a Second Language (ESL) learners and provided active coaching and training to both seasoned professionals and new hires. Her dedication to professional integrity has enabled her to work seamlessly across various departments and offices, strengthening internal structures and fostering organizational growth.

In addition to her leadership and mentoring capabilities, Helen has successfully managed departmental integrations, led networking and compliance projects, and developed essential training tools and workflows from inception. Her ability to handle complex and highly regulated information has been instrumental in refining communication strategies—creating and managing internal and external communication templates, editing formal position letters, and transforming technical material into accessible consumer-facing content.

Helen’s passion for communication extends beyond her professional endeavours; she is an avid reader and writer, constantly refining her skills to develop meaningful and effective messaging. Her experience as a Communication Trainee at the Galerie d’art d’Ottawa further highlights her commitment to excellence in the field. Moreover, her multilingual capabilities—fluent in both French and Japanese (she has mastered the Japanese syllabaries katakana and hiragana, and is currently learning kanji)—demonstrate her adaptability and cultural awareness, valuable assets in today’s interconnected world.

In summary, as the epitome of INTACT CEO Brindamour's "Living Our Values" initiatives, Helen Cameron is well on her way to higher executive positions at INTACT, or beyond!

IT IS UNLIKELY THAT THE CONSUMMATE, LEGENDARY ACTUARIAL, INTACT CEO BRINDAMOUR BE YET UNAWARE OF THE ABUNDANTLY DOCUMENTED FACT THAT INTACT IS PAYING AN ESTIMATED $50,000+ TO WHITELAW-TWINING, WHICH CONTINUES TO SULLY ITS REPUTATION, BY NUMEROUS TORTIOUS ACT AND OMISSIONS, SUCH AS ITS OPPOSITION TO THE EFFORTS OF INTACT PRIVACY OFFICER HELEN CAMERON, WHOSE INTERNAL AFFAIRS PROBE EXPOSED A CLAIMS MANAGER AMANDA MYERS' NON-EXISTENT CLAIMS INVESTIGATION, AND ENGAGEMENT IN OTHER WRONGFUL, PROHIBITED ACTS?

As minutely documented on this informational website, INTACT's lawyer, a Partner of British-based DWF Group/Whitelaw-Twining has violated Section 80.3(1) of the Financial Institutions Act, tortiously causing the injury of Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress to a Named Insured of the firm's Client INTACT Insurance, by aiding and abetting Ombuds[wo]man Michele Vincent, who ordered the Claims Experience Team to cease and desist its investigation of Claims Manager Amanda Myers' documented fabrication of a claims investigation, and other unlawful acts.

INTACT's lawyer has wrongfully filed two (2) SLAPPs against the Named Insured of INTACT Insurance, falsely accusing the Named Insured of submission of a claim with INTACT, under the false pretence of being an Insured.

The same Whitelaw-Twining Partner has also concealed, and continues to conceal, the investigative findings of INTACT Privacy Officer Helen Cameron, a whistleblower Privacy Officer, who conducted her own, independent internal affairs probe, which exposed that INTACT Alberta Claims Manager Amanda Myers, had wrongfully fabricated one of Myers' claims investigations, had wrongfully denied the Named Insured's claim, and committed other serious, unlawful claims practices.

In addition to other tortious acts and omissions, the same Whitelaw-Twining Partner wrongfully orchestrated INTACT's violation of Statutory Condition 5 (Termination of Insurance), Section 16.1 of the Insurance Act of BC and the Code of Consumer Rights and Responsibilities.

INTACT's LAWYER AT WHITELAW-TWINING FALSELY ACCUSED AN INTACT NAMED INSURED OF SUBMISSION OF A CLAIM UNDER FALSE PRETENCES, AND THEN ABUSED THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM, BY MALICIOUSLY FILING TWO (2) SLAPPs FOR DEFAMATION, AGAINST THE NAMED INSURED.

IF SUCH A WANTON SQUANDER OF INTACT's SHAREHOLDER CAPITAL CONSTITUTES "LIVING OUR VALUES", THEN AN INDUSTRIAL GRADE REMEDIATION OF SUCH "VALUES" IS LONG OVERDUE !

Renowned legal scholar, strata law expert, and longstanding counsel for the Condominium Homeowners Association (CHOA), Patrick Williams of the premier law firm, Clark Wilson (the #1 Top Western Law Firm for 2024/25), conducted a legal analysis of the law and facts. His conclusion, which is based upon Strata Property Act § 155(b), was that the Defendant, subject of this informational website, has been a bona fide Named Insured.

How comes it that Clark Wilson's strata law expert, in addition to some other thirty three (33) experts and percipient witnesses, infra, all stand in opposition to the Whitelaw-Twining Partner's lone position that the Defendant is not a Named Insured of INTACT; that he submitted his claim under false pretences, and defamed INTACT?

*source- Whitelaw-Twining Partner, Nigel Beckmann's, herein defamatory letter of 07 December 2023

THE PRIMA FACIE ELEMENTS OF A MALICIOUS SLAPP ARE THE FOCUS OF THIS WHISTLEBLOWER's DETAILED DOCUMENTATION OF INTACT INSURANCE's AND ITS WHITELAW-TWINING PARTNER's ACTS OF INTENTIONAL AND NEGLIGENT INFLICTION OF EMOTIONAL DISTRESS, UPON A NAMED INSURED.

AS PRECISELY DETAILED HEREIN, A PARTNER OF WHITELAW-TWINING SERVED A LETTER UPON NAMED INSURED RB, ACCUSING HIM OF FALSELY POSING AS AN INSURED OF INTACT, SUBMITTING AN INSURANCE CLAIM UNDER THE FALSE PRETENCE OF SO BEING, AND DEFAMING INTACT FOR CLAIMING TO BE AN INSURED OF THE COMPANY.

Strata Property Law (Phase Two) Project Committee The Strata Property Law (Phase Two) Project Committee was formed in fall 2013. This volunteer project committee is made up of leading experts in strata-property law and practice in British Columbia. The committee’s mandate is to assist BCLI in developing recommendations to reform strata-property law in the seven areas selected for study in this phase.

The committee unanimously concluded that Strata Property Act § 155 is protective of the legitimate interests of persons, such as the Defendant, herein, who normally occupy strata units. This conclusion was cited by the Honourable Justice Coval of the BC Supreme Court, in the landmark case of Strata Plan VR 2213 v. Schappert, 2023 B.C.J. No. 2272, 2023 BCSC 2080.

Yet, the Whitelaw-Twining Partner continues to refuse to abandon his absolutely discredited, solitary perversion of law that the Named Insured Defendant had defamed his Client INTACT Insurance, by citing the protections of Strata Property Act § 155 and the case law. Of particular legal significance is the fact that Whitelaw-Twining persists in its abuse of judicial processes of the BC Supreme Court, by their perverse SLAPP prosecutions, replete with thousands of pages of Application fodder.

After more than three (3) years, INTACT's risible "Investigative Services Unit" has refused to follow-up fellow whistleblower, INTACT Privacy Officer Helen Cameron's internal affairs probe, that uncovered Claims Manager Amanda Myers' unlawful activities, as fully documented on this website.

As thoroughly documented on this informational, whistleblower's website, on or about 30 September 2021, INTACT's Alberta Claims Manager Amanda Myers engaged in several unlawful claims practices, including but not by way of limitation (1) fabrication of her claims investigation, (2) wrongful coverage denial, based upon the false description of an INTACT Named Insured as having occupied a cement, ornamental pigeon roost, (3) violation of Insurance Act of BC Statutory Condition 5 (Termination of Insurance), (4) Violation of Section 16(1) and (5) Violation of the Code of Consumer Rights and Responsibilities.

In view of Myers' violations of the Insurance Act, the INTACT policy that she unsuccessfully sought to rescind, is still in full force and effect.

21 APRIL 2025 - UNACCEPTED OFFER WITHDRAWN

DUE TO PLAINTIFFS' BAD FAITH TACTICS, REPLETE WITH PERJURED AFFIDAVITS, INFRA, DEFENDANT'S PREVIOUSLY UNACCEPTED OFFER TO ALLOW PLAINTIFFS ANY DEGREE OF CONTROL, OR AUTHORITY TO REDACT ANY ASPECT OF THIS WEBSITE, REJECTED BY PLAINTIFFS' COUNSEL AT THE LAST HEARING, IS HEREBY WITHDRAWN, THUS IMPOSING UPON PLAINTIFFS THE FULL BURDEN OF PROOF, AT THE CONTINUED HEARING!

The Whitelaw-Twining Partner, (head of the firm's Defamation and Insurance Law Department), continues to abuse the resources of the BC Supreme Court, with his frivolous SLAPP, refusing to cede to the following statutory, judicial and evidentiary authority, that the malicious accusation of his letter of 07 December 2023 (to the right) has been absolutely discredited.

The Whitelaw-Twining Partner is acutely aware that the Defendant's legal status as INTACT Named Insured, had been established by (1) Strata Property Act Section 155(b) (2) the landmark case of Strata Plan VR 2213 v. Schappert, 2023 B.C.J. No. 2272, 2023 BCSC 2080 (decided by the Honourable Justice Coval of the BC Supreme Court) (3-4) correspondence of INTACT personnel (SLAPP Plaintiffs Amanda Myers and Christa Rae Cordick) (5) Adam Trott, investigator of the BC Ombudsman Office (6) Bruno de Sando investigator of the GIO (7) Patrick Williams of renowned law firm Clark Wilson (8) CHOA (Condominium Homeowners Association of BC) (9) BCFSA (10-11) personnel of various Scheduled Insurers of the subject INTACT property liability policy (12) Insurance Broker Gordon Li (13) Property Manager Nico Barbu (14) Sedgwick Insurance Sr Adjuster Daphne Chan (15) Heather Bidnall, Compliance Officer of the Insurance Council of BC, et al.

PARTICULARLY, DURING THESE TIMES OF TARIFFS AND INTERNATIONAL CONFLICT, INTACT CEO, MONSIEUR CHARLES BRINDAMOUR, CONTINUES TO ALLOW THE COSTLY FUNDING OF THIS DESECRATION OF INTACT's INTERNATIONAL REPUTATION 查看intactfinancial的更多内容

Although Ombuds[wo]man Michele Vincent committed perjury in her Affidavit, infra, in the letter to the left, she had accepted the Named Insured Defendant's formal Complaint of Claims Manager Myers' wrongful coverage denial, and had assigned the Complaint to INTACT's Customer Experience Team investigators, who were to issue a "Final Business Decision" letter. After almost two (2) years and tens of thousands of dollars in Whitelaw-Twining's fees, such a letter has not been issued!

DESPITE THE SQUANDER OF TENS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS IN SLAPP PROSECUTORIAL "LEGAL" FEES, THOUSANDS OF PAGES OF LEGAL PLEADINGS, THOUSANDS OF HOURS OF INTACT PERSONNEL'S TIME AND RESOURCES, A PROJECTED TWO (2) WEEKS OF THE RESOURCES OF THE BC SUPREME COURT, INTACT'S LAWYER AT WHITELAW-TWINING REFUSES TO WITHDRAW HIS HEREIN DETAILED, MALICIOUS AND DEFAMATORY LETTER OF 07 DECEMBER 2023, THE GENESIS OF THE ENTIRE PERFECT LITIGATION STORM OF INTACT'S MATERIAL MISREPRESENTATIONS, PERJURED AFFIDAVITS AND DECAY OF INTACT'S LEGAL AND MORAL IMAGE.

WHERE IS THE CEO, CONSUMMATE ACTUARIAL, CHARLES BRINDAMOUR?

These three challenged-by-the-truth doyennes of deception casually sip their Nabob gourmet blend café, while they spout the lies of their perjured Affidavits, infra. Perhaps their current attorney, Gavin Clark, Esq be too ethical to assist them, in their modus operandi to mislead Courts and regulatory agencies.

Of the 3 SLAPP Plaintiffs, whose falsehoods are the most egregious?

In addition to her defamatory lies to the Court that the Defendant had occupied the inaccessible pigeon roost depicted below, Attorney Cordick states the absurdity that a Strata Corporation has neither ownership of, nor responsibility to abate a pigeon faecal matter infestation of an inaccessible, ornamental pigeon roost of its residential building.

Despite the Strata Property Act 155(b), the Schappert case, legal pleadings filed by Plaintiff Christa Rae Cordick and Plaintiff Amanda Myers' letter of 30 September 2021, et al, Ombuds[wo]man Vincent, repeats her customary falsehoods, in a vain attempt to obfuscate the fact that after almost 2 years, the Customer Experience Team, to which she had assigned the Defendant's formal Complaint on 26 May 2023, has not yet issued its Decision letter!

Claim Manager Myers' fabrications and falsehoods are numerous, and have been thoroughly documented throughout this website.

Although subornation of perjured Affidavits is a criminal offence, there is no intimation, that at the time of filing with the Court, Plaintiffs' lawyer, Gavin Clark, a gentleman of high ethical standards, was aware of the nature of the falsehoods thereof. Now that the nature of the perjuries has been communicated to Mr. Clark, it is expected that he will amend his Clients' perjured Affidavits, well prior to the continued Court hearing.

NOTICE: This fact-based informational website is replete with documentation of statements and representations, as rendered herein. The viewer is invited to familiarise herself/himself with the documented facts, prior to the formation of any opinion.

IN FURTHERANCE OF ITS SLAPPs AGAINST ITS NAMED INSURED, INTACT HAS SUBMITTED PERJURED AFFIDAVITS, WITH AN APPLICATION FOR AN INTERLOCUTORY ORDER TO (TEMPORARILY) DEACTIVATE THIS WEBSITE, IN A SCHEME TO CONCEAL ITS UNLAWFUL CLAIMS PRACTICES. OTHER PERJURED AFFIDAVITS WILL BE DISPLAYED IN THE FUTURE.

Myers' perjured Affidavit

Claims Manager Myers' illegal claims practices are not limited to perjured Affidavits. On Page 2 of her Affidavit (image to the left) she committed claims management prohibited acts, by falsely testifying that the Claimant had nullified his insurance coverage, for "personal use" of a balcony, that is factually an exterior, inaccessible pigeon roost (below). INTACT Privacy Officer Helen Cameron conducted an independent internal affairs probe, which confirmed that Claims Manager Myers had invented her false narrative of having completed a claims investigation!

Myers' letter of 30 September 2021, per her Affidavit

23 MARCH 2025

DESPITE DEFENDANT'S REPEATED CONCESSIONAL OFFERS TO PLAINTIFFS, IN THE SPIRIT OF RULE OF COURT 1-3, INTACT's INTRANSIGENT REJECTION OF ALL OFFERS WILL BE THE SUBJECT OF THE SCHEDULED COURT HEARING.

BELOW IS THE ACTUAL OFFER MADE BY DEFENDANT, AS FILED ON 18 MARCH 2025, WHICH IS EVEN MORE CONCILIATORY THAN SEVERAL PRIOR OFFERS. ALL OF THESE CONTRACTUAL, STATUTORY, REGULATORY AND JUDICIAL ENTANGLEMENTS, MERELY BECAUSE INTACT REFUSES TO CONDUCT A SIMPLE, STANDARD CLAIMS INVESTIGATION, TO REPLACE CLAIMS MANAGER AMANDA MYERS HAD INVENTED HER FALSE NARRATIVE OF HAVING COMPLETED A CLAIMS INVESTIGATION.

24 MARCH 2025

As evidenced by this scrupulously detailed, public interest, informational website, Plaintiff, Claims Manager Amanda Myers fabricated the investigation of a claim submitted by Defendant. Myers' fabrication was exposed by INTACT Privacy Officer, Helen Cameron, in her letter of 19 January 2024.

However, in egregious bad faith, instead of merely conducting an actual, standard investigation, Myers (aided and abetted by Plaintiffs, Counsel Christa Rae Cordick and Ombuds[wo]man Michele Vincent), has refused for more than 3 1/2 years to merely conduct an actual, good faith investigation, to replace Myers' wrongful substitute. On 07 December 2023, a Whitelaw-Twining Partner, Nigel Beckmann joined the wrongful cover-up, with the herein letter, defamatory of Defendant, falsely accusing Defendant of submission of a claim, under the false pretence of being an insured.

27 MARCH 2025

As evidenced by this scrupulously detailed, public interest, informational website, Plaintiff, Claims Manager Amanda Myers fabricated the investigation of a claim submitted by Defendant. Myers' fabrication was exposed by INTACT Privacy Officer, Helen Cameron, in her letter of 19 January 2024.

However, in egregious bad faith, instead of merely conducting an actual, standard investigation, Myers (aided and abetted by Plaintiffs, Counsel Christa Rae Cordick and Ombuds[wo]man Michele Vincent), has refused for more than 3 1/2 years to merely conduct an actual, good faith investigation, to replace Myers' wrongful sham. On 07 December 2023, a Whitelaw-Twining Partner, Nigel Beckmann overzealously joined the wrongful cover-up, with the herein letter, defamatory of Defendant, falsely accusing Defendant of submission of a claim (that Claims Manager Myers had accepted), under the false pretence of being an insured.

Whitelaw-Twining’s indispensable involvement in this travesty of conscience and law alike, is particularly odious, in that in order to support his defamatory allegation of the Defendant’s wrongful claims submission, the Partner cannot but disavow Strata Property Act Section 155(b), and the ruling regarding Named Insureds, in case of Strata Plan VR 2213 v. Schappert, 2023 B.C.J. No. 2272, 2023 BCSC 2080, decided by the Honourable Justice Coval of the BC Supreme Court, as well as the confirmations that the Defendant was a Named Insured, per INTACT personnel Amanda Myers, Christa Rae Cordick and Michele Vincent, all of whom had all declared the Claimant's status as a Named Insured, in legal pleadings to the PBPC, the BCFSA, as well as to various Scheduled Insurers of the subject INTACT property liability policy. Defendant's legal status as a Named Insured was additionally confirmed by Insurance Broker Gordon Li, Sedgwick Sr Adjuster Daphne Chan, and Heather Bidnall, Compliance Officer of the Insurance Council of BC.

IN THE RECENT B.C. SUPREME COURT LANDMARK CASE, THE COURT ISSUED ITS RULING THAT OCCUPANTS OF INSURED PROPERTIES ARE NAMED INSUREDS, THUS SOUNDLY REJECTING THE SOLE PREMISE OF PLAINTIFFS' SLAPP ACTIONS.

As thoroughly documented on this informational website, despite the fact that all of the Plaintiffs, various insurance brokers, agents and regulatory representatives had all confirmed the Defendant's legal status as a Named Insured, INTACT nonetheless filed two (2) SLAPPs (and threatens a third) against the Defendant, for the mere act of submitting a property insurance claim with his insurer, INTACT Insurance. For some unexplained, "slapp happy" reason, the Plaintiffs allege that Defendant's presentation of the documented facts, as well as supportive statutory, judicial and regulatory authority, constitutes defamation.

In his landmark ruling, in the case of Strata Plan VR 2213 v. Schappert (2023 BCSC 2080), the distinguished, Honourable Justice Coval, soundly rejects INTACT's premise that an occupant of an insured strata property is not a Named Insured.

In the Schappert case, Justice Coval clarified that individuals who normally occupy a strata lot, such as renters, tenants and owners, are Named Insureds under the strata's property insurance policy. This interpretation aligns with Section 155 of the Strata Property Act and emphasises the importance of recognizing the rights of occupants, authorized by the strata. A fortiori, in this case, the SLAPP Defendant was a long time Tenant of a property insured by INTACT.

Justice Coval's decision underscores the importance of adhering to legal precedents and ensuring that accusations be grounded in a thorough understanding of insurance law. It also highlights the broader implications of disputes involving insurance claims, strata corporations, and the rights of occupants. The ruling also reflects the objectives of the Strata Property Act, Section 155(b),ensuring fairness and consistency in the treatment of occupants under strata insurance policies. This contributes to a broader understanding of legal frameworks surrounding property rights, insurance, and the evolving dynamics of short-term rental arrangements.

Justice Coval's contributions extend beyond the courtroom. He has been actively involved in pro bono work, serving as vice-president of the British Columbia Access Pro Bono Society and coordinating the Court of Appeal roster program. His efforts in promoting access to justice earned him the prestigious Harry Rankin Pro Bono Award. Additionally, he has played a significant role in mentoring young lawyers and fostering a culture of pro bono service within the legal community.

INTACT's TWO (2) CIVIL ACTIONS AGAINST DEFENDANT ARE PRIMA FACIE SLAPPs

As minutely detailed on this informational website, the Plaintiffs INTACT and its personnel, Amanda Myers, Christa Rae Cordick and Michele Vincent, have filed two (2) SLAPPs against the Defendant, one of two whistleblowers, who had filed a formal Complaint against Claim Manager Amanda Myers had invented her false narrative of having completed a claims investigation of Defendant's property claim. The other whistleblower, INTACT Privacy Officer, Helen Cameron, had conducted an independent internal affairs probe, which exposed the Claims Manager's wrongful, prohibited claims practices. The courageous Privacy Officer is not a party to this SLAPP.

The telltale indication of the nature of the SLAPPs is that no Plaintiff claims or seeks any monetary or other damages; the only relief that these SLAPP Plaintiffs seek is the exact relief that Defendant has repeatedly offered to them, months prior to the filing of the SLAPPS, and repeatedly, subsequent thereto.

In a further effort to deprive Defendant of his freedom of expression rights, by way of attrition, INTACT has recently filed an Application for a provisional, interlocutory Order to temporarily deactivate this website, an absolute, needless squander of the Court's precious time and resources, since Defendant has repeatedly invited Plaintiffs to join him in compliance with Rule of Court 1-3, with its focus upon "proportionality".

As thoroughly documented herein, the Defendant has offered (1) to voluntarily remove from this website all indications of the names, job titles and all identifying information about the Plaintiffs (2) to surrender exclusive control of the website to Plaintiffs, control to be returned to Defendant within two weeks of trial (3) to surrender exclusive control of the website to Plaintiffs, to be altered at their sole discretion, but that all references to statutory, judicial and regulatory authority remain intact, etc. Plaintiffs rejected all offers, with their counsel's below 17 March 2025, disingenuously stating that "every word" on this website is defamatory, even the ruling by the Honourable Justice Coval, supra!

As documented on this informational website, in an ongoing effort to seek Plaintiffs' compliance with Rule of Court 1-3,the Defendant has rendered the following Offers:

1. AN OFFER TO PERMANENTLY REMOVE THE PLAINTIFFS’ NAMES AND JOB TITLES FROM THE WEBSITE, AN OFFER WHICH PLAINTIFFS SUMMARILY REJECTED.

2. AN OFFER TO PERMANENTLY REMOVE SPECIFIC STATEMENTS FROM THE WEBSITE, PER A LIST TO BE PROVIDED BY PLAINTIFFS, AN OFFER PLAINTIFFS SUMMARILY REJECTED.

3. AN OFFER TO TRANSFER EXCLUSIVE CONTROL OF THE WEBSITE TO PLAINTIFFS, ON THE SOLE CONDITION THAT THEY NOT DEACTIVATE SAME, AN OFFER WHICH PLAINTIFFS SUMMARILY REJECTED.

4. AN OFFER TO SURRENDER TO THE PLAINTIFFS EXCLUSIVE CONTROL OF THE WEBSITE, WITH THE ABILITY AND AUTHORITY TO REMOVE THEREFROM ALL STATEMENTS AND IMAGES, WHICH PLAINTIFFS, IN THEIR SOLE DISCRETION, SHOULD DEEM DEFAMATORY. PLAINTIFFS SUMMARILY REJECTED THIS OFFER, AS WELL.

16 MARCH 2025-

Whitelaw-Twining has filed of an Application for injunctive relief. In violation of Rule of Court 1-3, with its emphasis upon proportionality, INTACT has elected to squander the precious time and resources of an already overburdened judicial system, for the precise relief which Defendant has offered, and Plaintiffs have rejected on several occasions, as documented on this website.

For almost four (4) years, INTACT has engaged in a malicious campaign to deny that any coverage for biohazards existed, either under its own policy or that of any other Scheduled Insurer of the subject risk-sharing BFL master policy. Plaintiffs have all participated in the spoliation, with Christa Rae Cordick as a primary violator of the Claimant's contractual rights, with her documented refusal to report the claim of the biohazard (which had caused injury) to the Lead or other Insurers.

An examination of the Application reveals materially perjured Affidavits by Plaintiffs Amanda Myers, Christa Rae Cordick and Michele Vincent, whose wrongful activities have been thoroughly documented on this public interest website.

Moreover, an examination of materials referenced in the perjured Affidavits evidences INTACT's spoliation of material evidence of INTACT's ongoing wrongdoings. Such includes INTACT's intracompany correspondence of (1) coverage for Defendant's eviction defence hearing, (2) coverage for health issues sustained by Defendant's daughter, occupant of the bedroom window above the infested pigeon roost, (3) extensive coverage accorded by numerous other Scheduled Insurers of the comprehensive, risk-sharing BLF policy, as well as (4) INTACT's bad faith refusal to apprise the lead Insurer Zurich of the numerous issues. Plaintiff Christa Rae Cordick's perjured Affidavit is of her recurrent lies that the Defendant had occupied the pigeon roost depicted on this website; that the Provincial court had dismissed the case, with a finding that the the Defendant was not a Named Insured. The court records evidence the fact that the Court dismissed the action for lack of injunctive relief jurisdiction, with no finding of that the Defendant was other than a Named Insured! Other incidents of Plaintiffs' falsehoods include the denial that each of them had declared the Defendant's legal status as a Named Insured.

The issues are far too complex to be addressed at a provisional, Injunctive Relief hearing, and in egregious violation of the spirit of Rule of Court 1-3, with its emphasis upon proportionality.

Therefore, as required by Rule 1-3, in order to assuage the Plaintiffs concerns, however ill-founded, and to avoid the wasteful expenditure of the Court's precious time and resources, Defendant hereby offers to transfer exclusive control of this website, with the ability of Plaintiffs to remove all instances of identifying information and images therefrom, pending the assignment of the first trial date, at which time control would be relinquished to Defendant, subject to the Court's ruling, upon trial.

In such event as Plaintiffs should reject Defendant's Offer, and insist upon violation of Rule 1-3, Defendant will seek costs and other punitive measures.

AN AFFRONT TO THE COURT, PLAINTIFFS INSIST UPON THE WANTON SQUANDER OF ITS PRECIOUS TIME AND RESOURCES, IN THEIR FRIVOLOUS APPLICATION FOR AN INTERLOCUTORY ORDER TO DEACTIVATE THE ENTIRETY OF THIS INFORMATIONAL WEBSITE. PLAINTIFFS DISINGENUOUSLY CLAIM THAT "EVERY WORD AND IMAGE" [INCLUDING STRATA PROPERTY ACT § 155(B), AND JUSTICE COVAL'S LANDMARK DECISION] ARE DEFAMATORY.

PLAINTIFFS NEED TO UNDERSTAND THAT DEFAMATION DOES NOT INCLUDE FACTS, STATUTORY AND JUDICIAL AUTHORITIES, THAT INTERDICT THEIR WRONGFUL ACTIVITIES.

12 MARCH 2025-

The gravamen of INTACT's Complaint is that the Defendant submitted an insurance claim with INTACT, under the false pretence of being an insured. The Honourable Justice Coval of the BC Supreme Court, where INTACT's Complaint is pending ruled, in the case of Strata Plan VR 2213 v. Schappert, 2023 B.C.J. no. 2272, 2023 BCSC 2080, as well as the Strata Property Act Section 155(b), have judicially and statutorily determined Defendant's legal status is that of a Named Insured.

INTACT CHIEF LEGAL OFFICER FRÉDÉRIC COTNOIR

Mr. Cotnoir is responsible for Intact's legal, compliance, internal audit and corporate secretarial functions. Over the years, he has been debriefed as to the issues, documented on this public interest website. He can no longer afford the luxury of ignoring the following legal and regulatory entanglements, which have festered under his lax watch. The list is not exhaustive:

1. INTACT Claims Manager Amanda Myers based an important coverage denial upon a false allegation that a Named Insured had triggered certain exclusionary language of a property liability policy. As a lawyer, Mr. Cotnoir would know that a property liability policy of a Strata Corporation, is jointly funded by Owners thereof. Tenants of Owners pay for such amenities by way of rental payments. Such rental income goes toward covering the Owner's costs related to the property, which includes strata fees, mortgage payments, maintenance, and insurance premiums. INTACT's specious position that the Named Insured Tenant had never funded his status is contrary to the facts and fundamentals of insurance law, and a stark measure of INTACT's and Attorney Beckmann's relentless disingenuousness!

2. When the Named Insured Claimant created this public interest website, in order to attract the serious attention of the facts of the matter, Mr. Cotnoir received actual and constructive notice that INTACT had engaged the legal services of Whitelaw-Twining Partner Nigel Beckmann, head of the firm's Insurance Law and Defamation departments. The legal, regulatory, ethical, moral entanglements that Attorney Beckmann had created, nurtured and refuses to resolve, is adequately documented on this website, and will not be further summarised.

3. INTACT's Ombuds[wo]man Michele Vincent acknowledged the Named Insured's formal Complaint against Claim Manager Amanda Myers' fabricated "claims investigation", by assignment to INTACT's Claims Experienced Team investigators. However, as part of INTACT's elaborate cover-up, Vincent later ordered the investigators to cease and desist further enquiry and release of its findings, in violation of INTACT's internal protocol, and violation of Section 80.3(1) of the Financial Institutions Act.

In his role as Chief Legal Officer, Mr. Cotnoir is ultimately responsible for INTACT's veritable perfect legal storm. Perhaps he would step in, at this point, and practice CEO Brindamour's "Living Our Values" initiative, or at least that the initiative be renamed "Denying Our Values"!

06 MARCH 2025-

ANNOUNCEMENT OF THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A BMO COMMERCIAL TRUST ACCOUNT, IN THE AMOUNT OF ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS ($100,000), WITH INTACT CHIEF LEGAL OFFICER FRÉDÉRIC COTNOIR, OR HIS DESIGNATED REPLACEMENT, AS TRUSTEE.

The Settlor of the charitable trust respectfully invites and awaits notice from Messrs Cotnoir, Beckmann and Darby, for formal confirmation of their designated roles.

04 MARCH 2025

INTACT's hypocritical "Living Our Values" initiative is exposed by the reality that upper managerial elements of the company, the rogue among its personnel, and its legal counsel continue to perpetrate intimidating, bad faith, unethical, torts and breaches of contract, on a national scale.

As abundantly documented on this public interest website, INTACT has squandered tens of thousands of dollars of stakeholders' capital, to INTACT's lawyer at Whitelaw-Twining DWF, in a wrongful attempt to avoid conducting a standard, legitimate claims investigation, to replace the fabricated version, contrived by Strategic Team Leader Amanda Myers, documented in her hereinbelow letter of 30 September 2021.

Special recognition is warranted of the bold efforts of INTACT's Privacy Officer, Helen Cameron, whose professionalism and devotion to INTACT's public image led her to conduct her own, independent, internal affairs probe, which exposed Amanda Myers' wrongful claims practices. Privacy Officer Cameron's said findings, as announced in her letter of 19 January 2024, are displayed on this website.

03 MARCH 2025- OTTAWA'S HOUSING CHARITY SALUS HAS FILED A $55,000,000 LAWSUIT AGAINST INTACT INSURANCE, AFTER THE COMPANY TRIED TO FORCE THE HOUSING CHARITY INTO TAKING MILLIONS LESS THAN THEY ARE RIGHTFULLY OWED, LEAVING 40 PEOPLE WITH SEVERE AND PERSISTENT MENTAL ILLNESS IN SHELTERS.

Mark MacAulay, CEO of Ottawa Salus stated:

“For nearly a year and a half, INTACT has operated in bad faith – trying to bully and force us into taking $4.3M less than we’re rightfully owed.” They don’t care that it could cripple our finances. They don’t care that it will keep 40 people in shelters and struggling on the street during a housing emergency. They don’t care at all. So we’re taking them to court. We’re going to make them pay up.”

INTACT INSURANCE's ACTIONS AGAINST THE YELLOWKNIFE WOMEN'S SOCIETY

Bree Denning, Directress of the Yellowknife Women's Society has reported that Intact Insurance, insurer of the shelter provided by the Yellowknife Women's Society, had "reneged" on its coverage and gave the society 30 days to find a new insurance company. Denning said Intact didn't provide a reason but the society is currently working on getting a new insurer for the building.

PLAINTIFFS CONTINUE TO ABUSE THE BC JUDICIAL SYSTEM, IN AN ATTEMPT TO FINANCIALLY BURDEN THE DEFENDANT OF THEIR SLAPPs, WITH A FRIVOLOUS APPLICATION FOR THE PRECISE PROVISIONAL RELIEF THAT DEFENDANT HAD OFFERED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS.

In a recent decision from the Supreme Court of British Columbia (Mawhinney v. Stewart, 2023 BCSC 419), Justice Baker awarded full indemnity costs to the defendant, who successfully brought an application to dismiss the plaintiffs’ action for defamation under British Columbia’s anti-SLAPP (Strategic Lawsuits Against Public Participation) legislation.

If an action is dismissed under the Protection of Public Participation Act, S.B.C. 2019, c. 3 (PPPA), a successful defendant should receive costs on a full indemnity basis. That is the starting point, although the court maintains judicial discretion to make a different costs award in appropriate circumstances. In exercising this discretion, the court will consider the intention of the full indemnity starting point, which is to discourage strategic lawsuits against public participation (SLAPP suits).

Section 7 of the PPPA expands the costs options available to the court on dismissal applications brought under the act. Under British Columbia’s Supreme Court Civil Rules, the court is not authorized to make full indemnity costs awards. However, s. 7 of the PPPA states that if the court makes a dismissal order, the successful defendant is entitled to costs on a full indemnity basis unless the court considers that assessment inappropriate in the circumstances.

The Hon. D. Eby discussed this costs provision in the PPPA at the committee stage:

There’s a recognition within this bill, and generally around these kinds of lawsuits, of an imbalance of resources most typically in these kinds of lawsuits. In fact, typically, one of the defining features of these lawsuits is that imbalance of resources between the plaintiff and the defendant. So this recognizes that.

What we wanted to do with both of these provisions, subsections 7(1) and 7(2), was to give the court a presumption. The presumption is that if someone is successful in this application, they get full costs on an indemnity basis.

Conclusion

This case serves as a warning for would-be plaintiffs in actions designed to silence one’s critics. Even if the contemplated claim has substantial merit, the action may be dismissed at an early stage, and if it is, a significant adverse costs award will likely be made.

The Supreme Court of Canada released its latest decision interpreting anti-SLAPP legislation in Canada. A 6-1 majority of the Court in Hansman v Neufeld, 2023 SCC 14 restored an order dismissing a plaintiff’s claim under British Columbia’s anti-SLAPP legislation. The Court’s decision centered on the part of the analysis that calls for the balancing of the public interest in protecting the defendant’s impugned expression against the plaintiff’s right to protect their reputation. The Court had specific reference to Charter jurisprudence under ss. 2(b) and 15(1) in determining the level of protection that should be afforded to certain expressions. In particular, where the impugned expression is “counter-speech” intended to respond to ignorant or harmful expressions against a vulnerable or marginalized group, that may weigh more heavily in the balancing exercise in favour of protecting that speech.

21 FEBRUARY 2025 THE FULL DISSERVICE WHITELAW-TWINING LAWYER HAS MISGUIDED HIS CLIENTS INTO YET ANOTHER EGREGIOUS CONFLICT OF INTEREST, INADVISABLY SACRIFICING ALL OF HIS CLIENTS' INTERESTS, IN AN EFFORT TO AVOID PUBLIC INTEREST CRITICISM OF HIS FIRM.

In the below email from Plaintiffs' Whitelaw-Twining Partner assures that Plaintiffs Amanda Myers, Christa Rae Cordick and Michele Vincent (none of whom has ever identified a specific instance of defamation on the website) have formally rejected the Offer to remove all traces/vestiges of their identities (names, job titles and all other identifiers) therefrom. The conflict of interest has been created by the artful conflation of his Clients' interests with those of Whitelaw-Twining. He defamatorily alleges that this website, as well as that in litigation, OFFENCELAWYERSREPORT.COM (both websites) have caused damages to (1) his Clients and to (2) his firm! This "2 for 1" modus operandi will assure that the case proceed to trial, and even in such regard, the Plaintiffs' counsel has been uncooperative.

The deep-pocketed INTACT's rogue personnel have expended herculean efforts to simply avoid the ab initio rescission of its Strategic Team Leader's tortious, wrongful decision, ostensibly based upon a claims investigation that INTACT Privacy Officer Helen Cameron had determined had never been conducted!

In another link in the concatenation of INTACT's bad faith measures, Whitelaw-Twining Privacy Officer, Ryan Darby has ignored the below OIPC Freedom of Information request.

The below Complaint has been served and lodged with the OIPC.

19 FEBRUARY 2025 Perhaps the Plaintiffs' Lawyer should familiarise himself with the Protection of Public Participation Act of BC.

20 FEBRUARY 2025 AN EXTRAJUDICIAL RESOLUTION OF THE LITIGATION

As reflected in the below email, the Plaintiffs demand that the website, in its entirety, be removed from the internet. Although these Plaintiffs have all soundly rejected all prior Offers, Defendant remains receptive to any demand, by any Plaintiff, with the exception of the permanent deactivation of the entire site.

18 FEBRUARY 2025 A point worthy of mention is the BCSC's Rule 1-3, which emphasises the importance of proportionality in legal proceedings. Thus, Court aims to ensure that the time, expense, and complexity of a case be proportionate to the matters at stake. That which is at stake in these SLAPP actions is the Plaintiffs' malicious, abusive of process insistence that this website, in its entirety, be removed from the internet (notwithstanding the fact that Defendant had offered to remove from the website the names, job titles; i.e. all information identifying the Plaintiffs, and had even offered to cede permanent, exclusive control of the website to the Plaintiffs).

As scrupulously documented on this public interest website, Whitelaw-Twining's Partner continues his relentless frustrations of the very spirit of Rule 1-3. By example, Defendant had proposed a discovery plan, which would comply with the spirit of Rule 1-3, "to promote fair and efficient resolution of disputes by balancing the resources and efforts involved in the litigation process". Defendant's proposal was to streamline discovery to simple, limited interrogatories. However, Whitelaw-Twining's Partner formally rejected the suggestion, instead insisting upon formal 'examinations for discovery', calculated to greatly maximise Defendant's expenses, for travel expenses of the Plaintiffs, as well as the attendance of a court reporter. Defendant offered to submit to an examination for discovery, at Plaintiffs' lawyer's convenience.

Although a Court Order will be required, at which costs and other sanctions will be sought by Defendant, the below are the draught Interrogatories of Plaintiffs Amanda Myers, Christa Rae Cordick and Michele Vincent.

It is respectfully requested of Plaintiffs' lawyer that he arrange for a complimentary, five minute, pro bono consultation with another partner of Whitelaw-Twining, John Vamplew, who authored an informative article, aptly entitled "The New Supreme Court Civil Rules: Implications for Claims Handlers", which addresses the numerous abuses of process, that Plaintiffs have been aided and abetted to pursue in the two (2) SLAPP actions.

15 FEBRUARY 2025 Whitelaw-Twining's not so subtle assurance that Plaintiffs Amanda Myers, Christa Rae Cordick and Michele Vincent (none of whom has ever identified a specific instance of defamation on this website) have formally rejected the conciliatory Offer to remove all traces/vestiges of their identities (names, job titles and all other identifiers) from this website. Defendant proudly RSVPs this invitation to trial.

14 FEBRUARY 2025 The Plantiffs' lawyer from Whitelaw-Twining has written to the the Administrator of this website, a formal rejection of the Offers to remove all names, job titles, positions and other identifying information herefrom. Thus, no further attempts by Defendant, to extrajudicially resolve the issues, will be forthcoming.

In preparation for trial, the state of this public interest website, prior to this day, has permanently been locked. In the days to come, the website will focus upon a more comprehensive, factual exposure of the nature of the wrongful acts and omissions of Plaintiffs Amanda Myers, Christa Rae Cordick and Michele Vincent.

AS CONFIRMED BY THEIR ATTORNEY (IN HIS ABOVE EMAIL OF 13 FEBRUARY 2025) PLAINTIFFS AMANDA MYERS, CHRISTA RAE CORDICK AND MICHELE VINCENT HAVE ALL REJECTED THE OFFER TO REMOVE FROM THIS PUBLIC INTEREST WEBSITE, ALL TRACES OF INFORMATION THAT COULD IDENTIFY THEM.

13 FEBRUARY 2025 As fully detailed on this public interest website, Whitelaw-Twining's Partner authored the letter of 07 December 2023, wherein the Partner defamatorily (1) falsely accused a Claimant of an INTACT Insurance policy of not being an insured, and (2) of submitting the property insurance claim, under false pretences.

The Whitelaw-Twining Partner published the defamatory letter to various departments of the Insurer.

The detailed history of the Partner's SLAPP lawsuits against the Claimant has been fully documented hereupon, and the defamed Defendant had offered to allow Whitelaw-Twining, its Partner and all personnel, whose names appear on this website, the option to remove such herefrom. The below examples illustrate the effect.

12 FEBRUARY 2025 Whitelaw-Twining's Partner, committed a tactical error (i.e. miscalculation in the resolve of a mere civilian, in pro se Defendant) with the Partner's letter of 07 December 2023, wherein he defamatorily accused the Defendant of (1) deceiving viewers of this website, and (2) submission of a property claim with INTACT Insurance, under the false pretence of being an insured.

Currently, the herein Offer remains unaccepted., despite its having been amended to include Whitelaw-Twining, its Partner and all personnel, whose names appear on this website.

08 FEBRUARY 2025

In yet another effort on the part of Defendant to comply with BC Supreme Court Rule 1-3, Defendant hereby offers, subject to the above countdown, forever to remove from this website the name, as well as job title, of any Plaintiff who agrees to discontinue her role in the subject litigation against Defendant. Defendant thanks the Plaintiffs' counsel for timely conveying this Offer to each Plaintiff.

THIS OFFER IS RENDERED SOLELY TO COMPLY WITH THE SPIRIT OF COURT RULE 1-3, AND NOT AS AN ADMISSION THAT ANY ASPECT OF THE WEBSITE IS, OR EVER HAS BEEN DEFAMATORY, OR OTHERWISE UNTRUE.

11 FEBRUARY 2025

Plaintiffs' lawyer, Nigel Beckmann of Whitelaw-Twining, has finally responded, however opaquely, to Defendant's yet unexpired Offer. Attorney Beckmann argues that examination, at trial, as to why none of the Plaintiffs accepted either of the Offers, will be opposed, on the basis of the privilege of "settlement discussions". Defendant respectfully disagrees with Mr. Beckmann, but in any event, the acceptance of the current, unexpired Offer, would obviate the necessity of an estimated more than ten (10) days trial, per Court Rule 103.

NO JUDGE OF THE BCSC WOULD CIRCUMVENT THE SPIRIT OF RULE 1-3, BY RULING THAT A PROTRACTED TRIAL BE PREFERABLE TO AN EXTRAJUDICIAL RESOLUTION.

If Mr. Beckmann has actually conveyed the Offers to his Clients, obviously he, or any member of Whitelaw-Twining, could easily guide each Plaintiff, to permanently resolve all issues of the gravamen of the SLAPP actions gravamen, "defamation".

Witn all due respect to Mr. Beckmann, although the prospect of an estimated ten (10) trial, with testimony of various personnel of Plaintiff, may seem a lucrative option, with a deep-pocketed Insurer Plaintiff (whose personnel have engaged in criminal acts and omissions, as documented on this public interest website) unless individual Plaintiffs are insistent upon being examined at trial, perhaps they should be notified of the Offer, as well as the legal implications of their resultant insistence of public exposure of the facts.

Although Plaintiffs' thus far absence of a response speaks for itself, , Counterproductive strategy: INTACT’s lawyer rejects all of Defendant’s Offers, ever-insistent that the entire website is defamatory; only deactivation of the website be acceptable. However, this public interest website has always contained factual information, such as that highly complimentary of CEO Charles Brindamour, the consummate executive actuarial, under whose superb leadership, the company has achieved remarkable success. It is incomprehensible that Monsieur Brindamour should knowingly allow the arrant gaspillage of shareholders’ capital, in the futile pursuit of the self-destructive, moral, ethical, legal and statutory entanglements, in which the company currently finds itself, with no end in sight!

09 FEBRUARY 2025

An Offer to remove the names of Plaintiffs (Amanda Myers and Christa Rae Cordick) was previously rejected, although their Whitelaw-Twining lawyer had initially expressed interest therein.

In one last effort by Defendant to comply with Rule of Court 1-3, the current Offer includes Plaintiff Michele Vincent, and the removal of all job titles, as well.

UPON EXPIRY OF THE BELOW UNACCEPTED OFFER, PER THE COUNTDOWN, IT WILL NEVER AGAIN BE RENDERED.

07 FEBRUARY 2025

Open letter to Whitelaw-Twining DWF Group, since the Partner selectively ignores important correspondence.

Per the below link to the Partner's email of 03 February 2025, he summarily states that the entirety of the subject website is defamatory, without ever citing even one specific example (he has never so cited). He again threaten a Motion for Injunctive Relief, to have this entire website deactivated.

In an effort solely to comply with the spirit of Court Rule 1-3, and certainly not of intimidation, Defendant provides the below links, as labelled. The Partner's unconditional, summary threat to "shut down" or "take down" this entire cite, which includes citations of oppositional statutes and case law, such as a citation of the Strata Property Act § 155(b), as well as the ruling of the Honourable Justice Coval of the BC Supreme Court, matters of factual, even worthy of judicial notice, and by no means subject to removal from this website.

As scrupulously documented on the website, Whitelaw-Twining's Partner continues either to conflate or confuse the legal distinction between defamation and inconvenient, oppositional facts.

06 FEBRUARY 2025

THIS PUBLIC INTEREST, EXPOSITORY WEBSITE IS REPLETE WITH PRECISE INFORMATION AND DOCUMENTATION, REGARDING A VERITABLE PERFECT LEGAL STORM, WHICH ENSUED WHEN A WHITELAW-TWINING PARTNER, OUT HOUSE COUNSEL RETAINED BY INTACT INSURANCE, SENT THE BELOW DEFAMATORY LETTER, FALSELY ACCUSING A CLAIMANT OF INTACT OF SUBMISSION OF HIS CLAIM UNDER THE FALSE PRETENCE OF BEING AN INSURED. THE TOXIC EFFECT OF SUCH LETTER PROXIMATELY CAUSED THE BELOW-DOCUMENTED, INAUSPICIOUS CHAIN OF EVENTS, WHICH CULMINATED IN THE LAWYER'S FILING OF TWO (2) SLAPP ACTIONS AGAINST INTACT'S NAMED INSURED CLAIMANT, WITH THREE (3) OF INTACT'S DISILLUSIONED PERSONNEL AS PLAINTIFFS.

In particular, the below documented activity from 20 January 2025 to 05 February 2025, has critically distinguished INTACT's civil action (no. VLC-S-S-244577) from a common, personal insurance dispute, to a prima facie SLAPP action of significant public policy implications, which raise questions of broad legal significance.

Below is an email of 02 October 2024, from the Ministry of the Attorney General of BC. Within the past few days, there have been nascent indications that the AG's office may intervene in INTACT's SLAPP litigation, in view of broad involvement of the significant public policy implications, with issues of broad legal significance, such as statutory [INTACT’s Lawyer's acts and omissions have proximated extensive regulatory entanglements], by his refusal to comply with [Strata Property Act Section 155(b)] judicial [Plaintiffs refuse to apply the ruling of Strata Plan VR 2213 v.

No. 2272, 2023 BCSC 2080, decided by the Honourable Justice Coval of the BC Supreme Court, where INTACT's SLAPP is pending] ethical [Law Society of British Columbia Rule 2.02(5)] regulatory [Plaintiff Ombudsman Michele Vincent submitted material, false information to the BCFSA] judicial [Plaintiff Christa Rae Cordick misrepresented facts to judges of the BC provincial court] [Plaintiff Amanda Myers had invented her false narrative of having completed a claims investigation!

Common sense ethics are specifically codified in Law Society Codes of Conduct, such as Rule 5.1-2(e) When acting as an advocate, a lawyer must not knowingly attempt to deceive a tribunal or influence the course of justice by offering false evidence, misstating facts or law, presenting or relying upon a false or deceptive affidavit, suppressing what ought to be disclosed or otherwise assisting in any illegal conduct.

In Paulus v. Fleury, 2018 ONCA 1072, the Court of Appeal held that a factual misrepresentation by counsel in judicial proceedings could amount to deceit or civil fraud “in those circumstances where there would be no reasonable basis for the factual assertion; nor could it be said that the statement was made in good faith” (para 30).

Rule 5.1-2(a) states that a lawyer must not abuse the process of the tribunal by instituting or prosecuting proceedings which, although legal in themselves, are clearly motivated by malice on the part of the client and are brought solely for the purpose of injuring the other party.

Rule 2.01 (4) A lawyer who has unknowingly done or failed to do something that, if done or omitted knowingly, would have been in breach of this rule and who discovers it, must, subject to rule 2.03 (Confidentiality), disclose the error or omission and do all that can reasonably be done in the circumstances to rectify it. Rule 5.1-2(b) states that a lawyer must not knowingly assist or encourage any person to abuse the process of the tribunal by instituting or prosecuting proceedings which, although legal in themselves, are clearly motivated by malice on the part of the client and are brought solely for the purpose of injuring the other party.

Rule 5.1-2(c) states that a lawyer must not knowingly make a false or misleading statement to a tribunal. Rule 5.1-2(d) states that a lawyer must not knowingly present false evidence.

C

Prior to Whitelaw-Twining Partner's malicious, defamatory letter, falsely accusing the Claimant of submission of the subject claim, under the false pretence of being an insured, Ombudsman Michele Vincent had confirmed the Claimant's status as an insured, by assigning his formal Complaint to the Customer Experience Team. However, in reliance upon the Whitelaw-Twining Partner's false accusations, Ombudsman Vincent not only abandoned the Claimant's Complaint, she became a Plaintiff in Whitelaw-Twining's SLAPP litigation.

Prior to Whitelaw-Twining's Partner's above letter, falsely accusing the Claimant of submission of the subject claim, under the false pretence of being an insured, in house Counsel Christa Rae Cordick had confirmed the Claimant's status as a Named Insured, in a legal pleading. However, in reliance upon the Whitelaw-Twining Partner's false accusations, Ms. Cordick not only abandoned the Claimant's Complaint, she became a Plaintiff in Whitelaw-Twining's SLAPP litigation.

Prior to Whitelaw-Twining's Partner's above letter, falsely accusing the Claimant of submission of the subject claim, under the false pretence of being an insured, Unit Claims Manager Amanda Myers and Claims Representative Breanna Gray had confirmed the Claimant's status as an Insured. However, in reliance upon the Whitelaw-Twining Partner's false accusations, Manager Amanda Myers became a Plaintiff in Whitelaw-Twining's SLAPP litigation. Representative Breanna Gray, a young lady of impeccable ethical and moral standards, refused to participate in Whitelaw-Twining' Partner's SLAPP initiative.

OPEN LETTER TO PLAINTIFFS' WHITELAW-TWINING LAW FIRM PARTNER:

04 FEBRUARY 2025

Below is an exact copy of an email from Plaintiffs' lawyer to the In Pro Se Defendant of Plaintiff's SLAPP litigation.

Although the legal points will be thoroughly addressed at trial, certainly not on this public interest website, the following highlighted portions of Mr. Beckmann's email are indisputably incorrect.

In violation of Rule of Court 1-3, Plaintiffs' lawyer rejected the Offer, which was to extrajudicially grant them the right to permanent, exclusive control of this website, to remove any material that any of them should find defamatory, for whatever reason. Plaintiff INTACT has personnel who are trained to modify websites under its control.

Plaintiffs' lawyer's statement that the Court could not order or enforce the Offer is disingenuous and specious, at best, because the terms of the Offer were designed to avoid any Court enforcement, or other involvement, whatsoever. The Offer was designed to allow the Plaintiffs unrestricted, free rein over the presentation of this website. The Court not only encourages extrajudicial resolutions, it has codified this requirement in Court Rule 1-3.

With his relentless, customary hyperbolic threats to institute more and more more litigation, Plaintiffs' lawyer claims to be preparing more Motions for Court Orders for injunctive relief, unless Defendant should abandon his rights to freedom of speech, by immediate deactivation of this entire public interest website.

Defendant's reliance upon fundamental civility from Plaintiffs' lawyer, expectation of compliance with basic ethical regulations of the Law Society of British Columbia, as well as honesty and good faith, have been to no avail!

PLAINTIFFS' ACTS AND OMISSIONS CONSTITUTE A PRIMA FACIE DEFINITION OF SLAPP LITIGATION

Furthermore, BC Premier David Eby, Attorney General Niki Sharma and the legislature of BC are diametrically opposed to the nature of abusive Plaintiffs, who pursue litigation, merely to deny Defendant's of the right of freedom of expression.

WORTHY OF NOTE IS THE ABOVE EMAIL TO THE WHITELAW-TWINING PARTNER, COUNSEL FOR INTACT AND ITS PERSONNEL. IN A FINAL ATTEMPT TO RESOLVE THIS MATTER EXTRAJUDICIALLY, PER RULE OF COURT 1-3, THE DEFENDANT REINSTATED THE LAPSED OFFER, NOW DUE TO EXPIRE PER THE ABOVE COUNTDOWN.

PER THE TERMS OF THE EMAIL, THE OFFER WAS EXTENDED TO INCLUDE PLAINTIFFS' COUNSEL MAîTRE NIGEL BECKMANN. IN THE ABSENCE OF TIMELY ACCEPTANCE OF THE SUBJECT OFFER (detailed below) THE PLAINTIFFS WILL AUTOMATICALLY FORFEIT PERMANENT, EXCLUSIVE CONTROL OF THIS WEBSITE.

THEREFORE, UPON OCCURENCE OF PLAINTIFFS' FORFEITURE, THE ADMINISTRATOR OF THIS WEBSITE HAS ELECTED TO PROMOTE ANOTHER PUBLIC INTEREST INITIATIVE - FREE SPEECH IN CANADA.

IN THE EVENT OF PLAINTIFFS' FORFEITURE, THE ADMINISTRATOR RESERVES THE RIGHT TO AUGMENT, OR OTHERWISE MODIFY THIS WEBSITE'S PAST POSTS OF THE HISTORY OF THE INTACT INSURANCE DISPUTE, THE SPECIFIC UNLAWFUL CLAIMS PRACTICES OF THE ALBERTA CLAIMS TEAM, THE FALSE, DEFAMATORY ACCUSATIONS RENDERED BY ITS LEGAL COUNSEL, AND OTHER TORTS AND BREACHES OF CONTRACT, AS DOCUMENTED HEREIN, WITHOUT PRIOR NOTICE TO ANYONE.

A PROJECT OF THE CANADIAN CONSTITUTION FOUNDATION

02 FEBRUARY 2025

The impending expiry of the subject Offer represents a tacit admission that despite having filed two (2) civil actions against the herein Claimant for defamation, none of the Plaintiffs, their Whitelaw-Twining lawyer, or anyone else has been able to identify any aspect of this website that she/he considers defamatory. This tacit admission will assume legal proportions, upon examination of each Plaintiff and their percipient witness lawyer, under oath, at trial.

As fully documented on this public interest website, INTACT's Privacy Officer, whistleblower Helen Cameron had discovered that Alberta Claims Manager Myers had invented her false narrative of having completed a claims investigation! The claimant, Administrator of this website, then filed a formal Complaint with INTACT Ombudsman, Michele Vincent, who assigned the Complaint to INTACT's Customer Experience Team. However, in an illegal act to conceal the legal and regulatory consequences of the Claims Manager's wrongful acts the Ombudsman instructed the Customer Experience Team never to release its findings of the claim manager's unlawful claims practices. Thus, after one year, seven months, the Customer Experience Team's Complaint investigation remains in perpetual suspension. When the INTACT Named Insured Claimant created this factual website, INTACT, rather than to rectify the Claims Manager's wrongful acts, the company engaged a Partner of a Whitelaw-Twining (DWF Group), who, in an attempt to intimidate the Claimant into withdrawing his claim, falsely and defamatorily accused the Claimant of having submitted the claim under the false pretence of being an Insured. When the Claimant refused to succumb to the Lawyer's extortive threats, the Lawyer filed two (2) lawsuits against the Claimant, who looks forward to the trial, at which the Plaintiffs and their instigator, percipient witness Lawyer will all be examined, under oath, and their wrongful involvement finally be subject to judicial scrutiny and exposure!

Of particular legal significance is the fact that despite the Lawyer's fabricated defamatory accusation, the wrongful Claims Manager, Amanda Myers (nominated as a "Strategic Team Leader"), and the derelict, conflicted of interest Ombudsman/Complaint Officer Michele Vincent, and an in house INTACT Lawyer had all confirmed the Claimant's legal status as a Named Insured. However, in retaliation for the exposure of their wrongful activities, they became plaintiffs in the defamatory out house Lawyer's aforementioned scheme.

03 FEBRUARY 2025 BREAKING DEVELOPMENT

AN EMAIL (which will be posted later) FROM PLAINTIFFS' LAWYER , NIGEL BECKMANN HAS BEEN RECEIVED. RATHER THAN TO AWAIT THE COUNTDOWN OF THE EXPIRY OF THE OFFER, MR BECKMANN HAS FORMALLY REJECTED THE OFFER.

PER THE TERMS OF THE OFFER, ALL PLAINTIFFS WOULD HAVE ASSUMED EXCLUSIVE, PERMANENT CONTROL OF THIS WEBSITE, WITH THE RIGHT TO REMOVE THE NAMES OF THE PLAINTIFFS ( "INTACT", "AMANDA MYERS", "CHRISTA RAE CORDICK" and "MICHELE VINCENT"), AS WELL AS ANY OTHER MATERIAL THAT THEY SHOULD DEEM DEFAMATORY, FOR ANY REASON !

IN EGREGIOUS VIOLATION OF COURT RULE 1-3, AND IN FURTHERANCE OF PLAINTIFFS' ABUSE OF PROCESS, AND INTENTIONAL INFLICTION OF EMOTIONAL DISTRESS, PLAINTIFFS' LAWYER DEMANDS IMMEDIATE DEACTIVATION OF THIS ENTIRE WEBSITE (which includes published decisions of the BC Supreme Court, the Strata Property Act, many articles complimentary of INTACT CEO Charles Brindamour and "Living Our Values" initiatives, etc.)

WITH HIS RELENTLESS, CUSTOMARY HYPERBOLIC THREATS TO INSTITUTE MORE AND MORE MORE LITIGATION, PLAINTIFFS' COUNSEL CLAIMS TO BE PREPARING MORE MOTIONS FOR COURT ORDERS FOR INJUNCTIVE RELIEF, UNLESS DEFENDANT SHOULD IMMEDIATELY ABANDON HIS RIGHTS TO FREEDOM OF SPEECH, BY DEACTIVATION OF THIS ENTIRE PUBLIC INTEREST WEBSITE.

24 JANUARY 2025 - THE CREATOR OF THIS WEBSITE OFFERS COMPLETE CONTROL OF THIS WEBSITE TO INTACT INSURANCE AND THE OTHER PLAINTIFFS

In an ongoing commitment to ensure that this public interest website resolve the entire gravamen of the Plaintiffs' SLAPP action (court file No. VLC-S-S-244577), and to conserve the precious time and resources of the Court, the creator of this public interest website has elected to permit INTACT Insurance and the other Plaintiffs an additional ten (10) days, within which to accept the subject Offer, to allow any Plaintiff to remove all words and phrases on this website, that she should deem defamatory.

Furthermore, in order to assure Plaintiffs that the terms of the below, subject Offer be implemented, in the Plaintiffs' sole discretion, the creator of this website has offered to the Plaintiffs complete control of this website.

At the risk of repetition, the terms of the Offer refer to "any specific words, images, sentences or representations of the website that Plaintiffs should claim to be defamatory. No reason or explanation is required . This offer does not apply to summary demands or ultimata, such as those to strip the website of all content, even that complimentary of CEO Brindamour, etc."

Content Removal Instruction Tool

In order to facilitate the Plaintiffs' attempts to locate any alleged defamatory representations, all pages prior to 24 January 2025 are now locked in the condition, as exist as of this date, subject only to any instruction for revision, by any Plaintiff, per the terms of the Offer.

The purpose of this Offer, and its extension, is to conserve the precious time and resources of the Supreme Court, by obviation of the necessity to otherwise devote several days of trial time, regarding the gravamen of the Plaintiffs' SLAPP action - the allegation of the existence of defamatory representations on this public interest website.

The creator of this website thanks all Plaintiffs for their unanticipated cooperation.

28 JANUARY 2025

Although the Offer will remain open, per the above countdown, it will not be repeated upon its expiry. In the event that the Plaintiffs should fail to timely accept the Offer, it has been decided not to file the herein Motion to Dismiss, but to allow the SLAPP action to proceed to a full trial, at which the media, both traditional and social, can serve the public interest, by the public exposure of the facts of INTACT's egregious bad faith, oppressive and prohibited, wrongful practices, as detailed on this public interest website.

The Whitelaw-Twining offence lawyer continues to ignore all correspondence regarding the offer to the right. If he actually had communicated the Offer to his Clients (Claims Manager Amanda Myers, Counsel Christa Rae Cordick and Ombudsman Michele Vincent) do they prefer to be examined under oath at trial, to provide proof of their allegations of defamation?

Are the Plaintiffs aware of the Offer? Are they aware of the requirements of Court Rule 1-3?

28 JANUARY 2025

Plaintiffs' civil action is a prima facie SLAPP.

In an extremely conciliatory gesture, per the requirements of Supreme Court Rule 1-3, the Defendant had offered to the Plaintiffs exclusive, permanent control of the website, in order to allow them absolute latitude to remove all words and phrases from the website that they should believe defamatory. The Plaintiffs' concerted refusal to exercise complete control of the website evidences their ulterior motive to stifle free speech, rather than to seek genuine remediation. Such is characteristic of a SLAPP action. By refusing the Defendant's proactive solution, the Plaintiffs clearly aim to burden the court unnecessarily, contrary to Supreme Court Rule 1-3 of the BC Supreme Court Civil Rules.

Acceptance of the Defendant’s offer would have efficiently resolved the matter, without engagement of the Court, in a trial of at least 10 days!

PURSUANT TO COURT RULE 1-3, IN DEFENDANT'S ONGOING EFFORTS TO LIMIT THE DURATION OF EXAMINATION OF THE PLAINTIFFS AT TRIAL (WHETHER OR NOT THEY EXERCISE THE OPTION TO ASSUME EXCLUSIVE CONTROL OF THIS WEBSITE), ALL POSTS PRIOR TO 20 JANUARY 2025 HAVE BEEN LOCKED, AND WILL REMAIN SUCH.

IT IS RESPECTFULLY SUGGESTED THAT THE PLAINTIFFS MAKE PERIODIC, EXACT TIME-STAMPED COPIES OF THE WEBSITE, IN ORDER TO CONSERVE TRIAL TIME.

30 JANUARY 2025

As detailed below, the Defendant of Plaintiff INTACT's and its personnel's civil actions had made the below offer to permanently surrender exclusive control of this website to the Plaintiffs, subject to the terms thereof. On 21 January 2025, Plaintiffs' lawyer from Whitelaw-Twining rejected said offer, by rendering a counteroffer, to remove everything from this website (including facts complimentary of INTACT CEO Brindamour). Plaintiffs' lawyer's counteroffer was to effectively remove this website from the internet, with the result of a blank screen page. Pursuant to Supreme Court Rule 1-3, Rule 7-1 and Part V, Defendant has reinstated the Offer, which remains valid until the expiry of the above countdown. Never again will it be reinstated!

In the absence of Plaintiffs' timely acceptance of the Offer, at trial they will each be required to identify all instances of defamation on the website that justify their filing of the two (2) civil actions against the Defendant. If they should fail to meet this solemn threshold, then a civil action for abuse of process will be pursued against them, guaranteed!

In yet another assault upon fundamental human dignity and decency, the Representative of Whitelaw-Twining and DWF Group, has inflicted another round of emotional distress upon INTACT's Named Insured and his spouse, by refusing a simple Freedom of Information Act request for unprivileged personal information. Although only tangentially relevant to the gravamen of the subject of this public interest website, Whitelaw-Twining's intransigent refusal further frustrates RB's efforts to obtain a standard Customer Experience letter from INTACT. As detailed hereinafter, after more than three (3) years of judicial and regulatory entanglements, INTACT's Ombudsman, Michele Vincent has refused to issue such a letter, claiming that RB is unknown to the company; that no records of RB exist. Whitelaw-Twining receives remuneration from INTACT, by fomenting incessant litigation, requiring that the Freedom of Information Act Requestor incur the logistics and expense to engage the Supreme Court, in a Motion to Compel INTACT's compliance with legislation. Requiring a court Order to compel compliance with the Freedom of Information Act is yet another stark indication that Whitelaw-Twining's relentless tactics are calculated to generate even more of its tainted legal fees, with the sacrifice of open defiance of Court Rules, which are designed to conserve the Court's precious time and resources! The legislature's intent is the facilitation of Freedom of Information, without counterproductive, costly litigation!

20 JANUARY 2025 As the result of INTACT's relentless malicious, vexatious two (2) SLAPP actions and other bad faith and illegal acts and omissions, the Defendant of INTACT's two (2) SLAPP actions has decided not to rely upon the possibility of litigative support of BC Attorney General Niki Sharma, or BC Premier David Eby (both of whom are ardent supporters of anti-SLAPP legislative and judicial initiatives). Thus, in the event that INTACT, et al, Plaintiffs of its two (2) SLAPP actions, should fail to timely accept the Defendant's unconditional Offer to allow them to literally strip this public interest website of all words that they should consider defamatory (per the below, formal Offer), then the final version of the below draught of a Motion to Dismiss will be filed and pursued. Once the Motion shall have been filed, it will not be withdrawn, and will proceed to hearing! Under the circumstances, enhanced Costs will be sought!

21 JANUARY 2025

As detailed on this public interest website, it was the Whitelaw-Twining (DWF) Partner, who masterminded the two (2) SLAPP actions, after sending the initial letter that falsely accused the Defendant of submitting an insurance claim under false pretenses.

This same Partner, along with the Plaintiffs of the two (2) SLAPP actions (INTACT Insurance, Claims Manager Amanda Myers, in house counsel Christa Rae Cordick and Ombudsman Michele Vincent), have continued to ignore the below detailed, conciliatory Offer to grant them the right to strip the subject website of all words that any of them should believe defamatory. Although currently subject to the above countdown, this Offer was first made (several months prior to the filing of the two (2) SLAPP actions) to, and duly ignored by the same Whitelaw-Twining Partner, who had promised to convey Offers, ongoing for more than one year.

In the ongoing, good faith effort to resolve matters extrajudicially, the Offer had again been judicially made to Plaintiffs' Whitelaw-Twining Partner, on 27 July 2024, by way of the Responsive Pleadings to the Complaint, Section 1 of which is shown below.

Although always ignored by Plaintiffs, Defendant's Offer to each of them underscores the importance of balancing defamation claims with the protection of free expression, as enshrined in the Protection of Public Participation Act, SBC 2019, c 3 (the “PPPA”), commonly known as the anti-SLAPP legislative Act.

Therefore, upon expiry of the above countdown, it will be demanded of Plaintiffs (none of whom have thus far responded to the subject Offer, or requested an extension) to withdraw their two (2) SLAPP actions, in order to avoid enhanced costs and sanctions, for the soon-to-be confirmed tacit admission that the litigation that they instituted against the Defendant was intended solely to harass the Defendant, and not to prevent the alleged defamation! In the event that the Plaintiffs should continue to ignore the Offer that they revise the website, they should expect litigation against them, for malicious prosecution, and abuse of process, etc. The Plaintiffs' actual motives for their SLAPP actions has only recently been demonstrated; their tortious conduct was not foreseeable at the time of filing of the Cross-Complaint, which either will be amended, upon Motion, or a separate civil action be filed and pursued!

18 JANUARY 2025 WITHOUT PREJUDICE/RESERVATION OF RIGHTS

On 23 December 2024, INTACT's lawyer from Whitelaw-Twining fired off an email (excerpted below), wherein he threatened to widen the conflict to even more costly litigation, in the case before the BC Supreme Court (BCSC case no. VLC-S-S-244577). It is respectfully brought to INTACT's lawyer's attention that his threatened action is highly inimical to the strict policy objectives that the Court requires; to wit:

The British Columbia Supreme Court Civil Rules, such as Rule 9-1, include provisions designed to encourage litigants to seek extrajudicial remedies prior to filing formal Motions and Applications. These rules emphasize proportionality, early resolution, and case management, in order to ensure that disputes be resolved in a just, speedy, and inexpensive manner.

In accordance with the aforementioned authority, INTACT's Named Insured (RB) hereby offers to INTACT and its personnel, the unconditional option to revise this website, by the deletion or other method, of any and all specific words that INTACT and/or its personnel should claim to be defamatory.

Thus, upon INTACT's timely submission of a list of specific words to be revised, with an indication as to the name and position in the company occupied by the Requestor, the website will be revised to reflect such instruction. There is no requirement that any Requestor provide any explanation or justification, in order to exercise this option. Furthermore, once the website is modified, according the dictates of the Plaintiffs, it will be permanently locked and remain indefinitely as so revised.

This Offer applies exclusively to this website, and does not apply to any demands or ultimata to summarily deactivate the entire website, without reference to specific words.

THE SOLE PURPOSE OF THIS OFFER IS THE JUDICIALLY REQUIRED EFFORT TO RESOLVE LITIGATION, AND IS NOT TO BE CONSTRUED OR INFERRED AS ANY OFFER TO RESOLVE DAMAGES, OR ADMISSION THAT ANY ELEMENT OF THIS WEBSITE IS, OR HAS EVER BEEN DEFAMATORY. ANY AND ALL ATTEMPS TO USE THIS OFFER, IN ANY CIRCUMSTANCE OR EVENT, MUST BE ACCOMPANIED BY THIS DISCLAIMER.

QUOTE FROM INTACT CEO BRINDAMOUR

In an interview with insurance industry analysts, INTACT CEO Brindamour, the consummate actuarial, stated:

"To outperform the industry, Intact is focusing on data segmentation, claims management and investment in distribution". He added "to bolster data segmentation, Intact has invested massively in artificial intelligence to identify new variables. In claims management, Intact uses digital technology and is boosting in-sourcing of its processes" .

The sole purpose of this public interest website is to apprise CEO Brindamour of the dire need of his attention to the fact that his entire, reasoned approach to the above and others of his stated policy objectives, have been frustrated by the toxic intervention of INTACT's out-house counsel, as detailed herein. The issues that have arisen, due to the actions of such counsel include, but not by way of limitation:

1. Financial Impact: The legal fees associated with the acts and omissions are substantial (in excess of $50,000), diverting valuable resources from INTACT's core operations.

2. Reputation Damage: The negative publicity generated by acts and omissions has occasioned a potential erosion of customer trust and investor confidence.

3. Operational Disruptions: The legal challenges have required INTACT to allocate additional internal resources to manage these issues, thereby hindering progress on core strategic initiatives.

4. Regulatory Scrutiny: The involvement of regulatory bodies due to these legal problems has exposed INTACT to potential penalties and further scrutiny.

5. Internal Morale: The ongoing Alberta Claims Manager Myers having invented her false narrative of having completed a claims investigation!

Below is a respectful suggestion to INTACT CEO Brindamour, as to how to assure that his salutary objectives be applied, some retroactively, in order to mitigate any future damage.

In the below email of 05 November 2024, INTACT's lawyer at Whitelaw-Twining threatened even more litigation against the Defendant of his SLAPP actions, in the event that the Defendant should post any defamatory commentary on social media websites, such as LinkedIn (a website known for its focus upon issues of public interest, in the professional sphere of influence). As documented, none of the Plaintiffs, nor the Whitelaw-Twining Partner, has been able to find any defamatory word, words, phrases, or other representation that any of them considers defamatory. Thus, any posts on LinkedIn, or other social media websites, that refer to or quote any representation of this website, have been proofread by INTACT and its personnel, to be free of defamation.

Prepare to see factual comments, subject to "likes", "dislikes" or other commentary.

23 JANUARY 2025

INTACT INSURANCE AND THE OTHER PLAINTIFFS HAVE ALREADY FAILED THEIR LEGAL BURDEN OF PROOF, AN ABSOLUTE REQUIREMENT OF THEIR TWO (2) SLAPP ACTIONS !

These recent posts serve as a dry run for the Plaintiffs' burden of proof events that will unfold, at trial. After several months of Defendant's open Offer to grant Plaintiffs INTACT Insurance, Claims Manager Amanda Myers, Counsel Christa Rae Cordick and Ombudsman Michele Vincent the unconditional right to strip the subject website of all words that any of them should believe defamatory, without need for reason, nor explanation, none of these Plaintiffs was able to cite even a single representation on this website, that they (in good faith or even in bad faith) believe to be defamatory.

In the view of the transparent nature of this website, if any Plaintiff should have an explanation, rebuttal or other comment, for her inability to find any examples of defamation, then immediately will such be prominently posted on this website.

This option is to assure absolute transparency, with rebuttals posted, prior to Defendant's only immediate option for the prevalence of truth and justice - social media. Thus, it is highly recommended that Plaintiffs assume a position, whatever it may be.

22 JANUARY 2025 DEFENDANT'S TRIAL STRATEGY OPTIONS

According to the Whitelaw-Twining Partner, his Clients, INTACT Insurance, Claims Manager Amanda Myers, Counsel Christa Rae Cordick and Ombudsman Michele Vincent have all formally rejected Defendant's herein Offer to grant them the unconditional right to strip the subject website of all words that any of them should believe defamatory, without need for reason, nor explanation. As the below email from INTACT's lawyer from Whitelaw-Twining confirms, with reference to this website, the Plaintiffs all "claim that every single word, image, sentence, and representation is defamatory".

Thus, as a trial strategy, Defendant may elect to forego a Motion to Dismiss INTACT's SLAPP actions, and instead allow the litigation to proceed, and then examine Plaintiffs Amanda Myers, Christa Rae Cordick and Michele Vincent as to why they pursued the litigation to trial, rather than acceptance of Defendant's offer to agree to the gravamen of their SLAPP action, by allowing them to take control of this website, with the removal of all words that they should deem defamatory, but leaving intact examples of their own correspondence to the Defendant, Strata Property Act Section 155(b), the case of Strata Plan VR 2213 v. Schappert, 2023 B.C.J. No. 2272, 2023 BCSC 2080 (decided by the Honourable Justice Coval of the Supreme Court where their SLAPP action will be heard), citations of legislation, court filings, and even numerous, laudatory articles about Plaintiff INTACT and its CEO Brindamour and his "Living Our Values" noble initiative. It will be interesting to observe how the Defendants deem all of the foregoing to be defamatory, and the Court will not be particularly amused. The case has the potential of considerable future citation!

Although the Plaintiffs allege that "every single word, image, sentence, and representation is defamatory", a glance of this website reveals that more than 90% of its content is factual, such as correspondence authored and signed by each Plaintiff. Some matters are even worthy of judicial notice [such as the existence of Strata Property Act Section 155(b), and the case of Strata Plan VR 2213 v. Schappert, 2023 B.C.J. No. 2272, 2023 BCSC 2080, decided by the Honourable Justice Coval of the Supreme Court where Whitelaw-Twining's Partner filed the subject SLAPP action]. Other factual information on this public interest website includes citations of legislation, court filings, and even numerous, laudatory articles about Plaintiff INTACT and its CEO Brindamour and his "Living Our Values" noble initiative. Such content is complimentary, not defamatory, and certainly falls within the scope of protected free speech!

Whitelaw-Twining's Head of Defamation and Insurance Department has proven that his intransigent, cynical approach has no limit. Thus, Defendant's Motion to dismiss the Plaintiffs' SLAPP actions has been redraughted, subject to more revisions, and filed, when appropriate and without notice to the subject offence lawyer.

INTACT CEO CHARLES BRINDAMOUR, A RENOWNED ACTUARIAL, SHOULD HAVE BEEN CONSULTED, PRIOR TO INTACT'S DISASTROUS DECISION TO ASSIGN THE CASE, SUBJECT OF THIS PUBLIC INTEREST WEBSITE, FROM INHOUSE COUNSEL CHRISTA RAE CORDICK, TO OUTHOUSE COUNSEL WHITELAW-TWINING.

According to a comprehensive survey conducted by Bloomberg Law, 25% of legal matters are misclassified as high-value and assigned to "top-tier" firms, leading to vastly unnecessary costs. By correction of these imprudent misallocations, insurers would save up to $150,000 per million dollars of outside counsel expenditures.

Shareholders should take note that INTACT elected to ignore the advice of its inhouse counsel, Christa Rae Cordick, who repeatedly had advised INTACT's management of the legal status of the Claimant, as a Named Insured. In fact, Attorney Cordick had even filed a legal pleading, in formal confirmation of the Claimant's such legal status. However, outhouse counsel, Whitelaw-Twining's noncertified "Insurance Law Specialist", a Partner of the firm, repudiated Attorney Ms. Cordick's confirmation, and proceeded to falsely and defamatorily accuse the Claimant of having committed the crime of submission of his insurance claim with INTACT, under the false pretence of being an Insured. Whitelaw-Twining's Partner ultimately filed two (2) SLAPP actions (with threats of even more litigation) against INTACT's Named Insured Third Party Claimant. Curiously, Whitelaw-Twining's "Insurance Law Expert" is also listed as a "Defamation Defence Expert", although his role in this legal perfect storm case is that of a "Prosecutor of Defamation"!

Insurers rarely sue their own insureds, usually whenever the insureds submit false claims.

However, as in the case, subject of this public interest website, the wrongful act was committed by INTACT's own Claims Manager, Myers had invented her false narrative of having completed a claims investigation!, a bad faith, wrongful act uncovered as the result of an internal affairs investigation, conducted by INTACT Privacy Officer Helen Cameron, as announced in her letter of 19 January 2024.

As detailed herein, in a futile attempt to justify justification for accusing the Named Insured of an unlawful claim submission, Whitelaw-Twining's Partner has caused INTACT to violate the Strata Property Act § 155(b), and to deny the documented fact (herein letter of 30 September 2021) that Claims Manager Amanda Myers had defined the legal status of the Claimant as a Named Insured.

Such unethical conduct is referred to as "litigation by attrition"; a strategy of a well-funded party (INTACT) utilising financial resources to overwhelm and exhaust the less-funded opponent, forcing him to withdraw his claim, due to the high costs and prolonged nature of the legal process. INTACT's Named Insured cannot match INTACT's financial reserves and has only the truth, the facts and the law in his favour.

In retrospect, INTACT CEO Charles Brindamour may elect to adhere to his initiative of "Living Our Values", or at least to employ his finely honed actuarial prowess, in order to determine if Whitelaw-Twining's advice has served INTACT's interests, either in retrospect or in prospect.

Below is the excerpt of an email from a 23 December 2024 email from Whitelaw-Twining, which bemoans INTACT's expenditures of "more than $50,000" into Whitelaw-Twining's unreceptive coffers.

15 JANUARY 2025

WHITELAW-TWINING'S UNJUST ENRICHMENT IS THE LEGAL BASIS FOR ITS REQUIRED DISGORGEMENT OF ITS $50,000+ ILL-GOTTEN FEES

As precisely detailed on this public interest website, the genesis of INTACT Insurance's myriad legal, moral, ethical and regulatory entanglements is its legal advisors at Whitelaw-Twining's (hereinbelow) letter of 07 December 2023, wherein the a Partner of the firm materially misrepresented the facts and the law, the tort which is the gravamen of this public interest website.

RB, a shareholder of Intact Financial Corporation (IFC.TO), has informal standing to demand, and hereby so demands, that Whitelaw-Twining immediately refund the $50,000+ ill-gotten legal fees, back to his insurer, INTACT Insurance. Of course, the matter may be raised at the next shareholders' meeting, and in such event as Whitelaw-Twining should refuse to disgorge its fees, that matter will be broached thereat.

09 JANUARY 2025

If anyone from INTACT Insurance is interested in the facts and the law, its counsel, Partner of Whitelaw-Twining, recently sent an email to Named Insured Third Party Claimant RB, relevant parts of which are presented below. It is inconceivable that the head of Whitelaw-Twining's 'Insurance Law Department' could still propagate the myth that the claim was of the first person, and not the obvious third person, and after more than three (3) years, the Whitelaw-Twining Partner still renders such costly, incompetent legal advice!

When the claim against the Policyholder Strata Corporation was submitted, on the basis of damages arising from its failure to maintain an infectious external, ornamental pigeon roost (detailed hereinbelow), Alberta Claims Manager "Strategic Leader®" Amanda Myers incorrectly processed such as a first party claim, rather than the appropriate third party type. Ms. Myers refuses to reconsider her bad faith decision.

Incidentally, in the below email, Whitelaw-Twining's Partner is correct to state "if you suffered harm or losses, they were at the hands of others......." Those "others" to whom the Partner referred happen to be the Strata Corporation, a policyholder and named insured of INTACT.

IN VIEW OF THE FACTS AND THE LAW, IT IS BELIEVED THAT THE DEFENDANT WILL PREVAIL AT TRIAL, AGAINST INTACT INSURANCE, MICHELE VINCENT, AMANDA MYERS AND CHRISTA RAE CORDICK,

IN SUCH EVENT, FUTURE LITIGATION AGAINST THESE PARTIES, SOUNDING IN VARIOUS CAUSES, IS ASSURED.

09 DECEMBER 2024 UPDATE: With reference to the language of the 30 September 2021 denial letter, infra, it is written:

2. EACH OF THE FOLLOWING IS ALSO AN INSURED: 2.5. Your unit or strata lot owners and any tenants, but only with respect to the conduct of the corporation for liability arising out of the common property, excluding liability arising out of the owner's or tenant's possession, occupation or use of property designated for exclusive use. Per the ruling of the Economic v Aviva case and its progeny, the policy language controls. Apart from the issues that the Whitelaw-Twining Insurer/Client failed to apprise the other Scheduled Insurers (the master policy of which offered extended, comprehensive coverage), INTACT wrongfully refused the First Party Named Insured's claim, which unambiguously involved the "conduct of the corporation for liability arising out of the common property", whether by (1) failure to maintain the ornamental pigeon roost ledge, or by (2) failure to enforce the Strata Regulations and Bylaws against the Owner of the nearby unit. These regulations are clear provisions of the Strata Property Act.

The provision of the liability of the common property is activated either by the Strata corporation's (1) failure to maintain the ornamental pigeon roost ledge, or by (2) failure to enforce the Strata Regulations and Bylaws against the Owner of the unit (who is also an Insured under the policy).

The insured Strata Corporation LMS2845 Bylaw 3.9 states: "The Strata Corporation shall maintain the common property ) and the decorating of the whole of the exterior of the building in a healthful and attractive condition".

Strata Property Act § 26 "Subject to this Act, the regulations and the bylaws, the council must exercise the powers and perform the duties of the strata corporation, including the enforcement of bylaws and rules".

Strata Property Act § 257 addresses amending a strata plan to correct a wrong designation of Limited Common Property (LCP) These steps ensure that the property is correctly classified and that the designation aligns with its actual use and accessibility. Strata Property Act § 129 "(1) To enforce a bylaw or rule the strata corporation may do one or more of the following: (a) impose a fine under section 130; (b) remedy a contravention under section 133; (c) deny access to a recreational facility under section 134"

It is difficult to fathom that none of INTACT's five (5) lawyers, neither Casey Goodrich, nor Christa Rae Cordick, nor Nigel Beckmann, nor Mathieu Grenier, nor Frédéric Cotnoir, has familiarised himself/herself with the facts and the law thereof.

06 DECEMBER 2024 UPDATE:

INTACT's offence lawyer is currently prosecuting INTACT's malicious SLAPP action against INTACT'S own Named Insured. Although INTACT CEO Charles Brindamour, Executives Mathieu Grenier and Frédéric Cotnoir may believe that the Defendant is not an Insured of the company (since his name is not listed in the insurance policy), a recent decision by Justice Coval of the BC Supreme Court (where INTACT's SLAPP action is pending), soundly rejects INTACT's assertion. Press below links for details!

Christa Rae Cordick, Intact house counsel, a Plaintiff in INTACT's SLAPP action against its own Named Insured, was instrumental in the legal, regulatory and ethical entanglements that have ensued. By example, at a Provincial Court Settlement Conference, Cordick repeated the odious lie that INTACT's Named Insured was an unstable, vexatious litigant, who visited the feral pigeons, in their roost. That absurd, scurrilous lie drew derision from the Judge, and forever poisoned the Named Insured's position in the litigation before that Court.

Michele Vincent, Intact Ombudsman, committed a litany of false representations and unlawful cover-ups. One of the more egregious was exposed by Intact's Privacy Officer, Helen Cameron. A Plaintiff in INTACT's SLAPP action against its own Named Insured, Vincent's false representations to federal and provincial regulators, and her Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress, against the Named Insured and his wife, also a Named Insured, is detailed with documentary evidence, on this comprehensive, public interest website.

As part of her unlawful cover-up, despite letters from INTACT personnel, the authority of Strata Property Act § 155(b), and the Supreme Court ruling, Ombudsman Vincent continues, unabated in her wrongful conduct. When the Named Insured requested a common Claims Experience Letter (on 16 May 2024), Ombudsman Vincent replied with a refusal, still denying his status as Named Insured. Her email of 13 June 2024 is displayed below, type enlarged for legibility and emphasised in yellow.

INTACT "Strategic Team Leader" Amanda Myers. In furtherance of her scheme to avoid investigation of the Named Insured's claim, Myers had invented her false narrative of having completed a claims investigation!, which was exposed, when INTACT Privacy Officer, Helen Cameron, conducted an internal affairs probe, confirming, in a release of 19 January 2024, that Myers had not only concocted her claims investigation, she had engaged in an extensive cover-up of her activities for over two (2) years. Incredibly, Myers is also Plaintiff in INTACT's SLAPP action against its own Named Insured, notwithstanding the fact that in her letter of 30 September 2021, Myers had confirmed the Defendant's status as a Named Insured!

Listen to the below song, an endearing tribute to "Strategic Team Leader" Amanda Myers.

To the right is an image of an ornamental pigeon roost ledge, situated next to a bedroom window of INTACT's Named Insured's 17th floor residential unit. As indicated in the image, the ledge was replete with large amounts of contaminated, toxic spore-producing faecal matter.

The building Strata Corporation refused to abate the health hazard, so the Named Insured occupant submitted a First Party claim with INTACT.

On this website is a letter dated 30 September 2021, from INTACT, acknowledging the status of Named Insured, and confirming the following policy language:

2. EACH OF THE FOLLOWING IS ALSO AN INSURED: 2.5. Your unit or strata lot owners and any tenants, but only with respect to the conduct of the corporation for liability arising out of the common property, excluding liability arising out of the owner's or tenant's possession, occupation or use of property designated for exclusive use.

Faced with the "dilemma" of having to process and possibly pay a claim, the INTACT Claims Manager, Amanda Myers, devised a scheme [which she has refused to renounce for more than three (3) years], that the Named Insured had physically "possessed", "occupied" and "used" the ornamental pigeon roost ledge, thus triggering the policy exclusion. The roost is physically inaccessible from the Named Insured’s high rise unit. The ledge is devoid of any means of ingress/egress. It is legally, physically and architecturally, common property; not part of any unit of the residential building.

The images to the right is of the health hazard abatement team from specialist Humane Solutions, which, in accordance with BC WorkSafe and OSHA regulations, the remediation crews were required to don protective hazmat suits, special air filtration masks, and safety tie lines, as they gained access to the ledge, by way of a work platform, anchored at the roof of the high rise building. The Named Insured paid $2,541 for the health hazard abatement service.

Christa Rae Cordick, Intact house counsel, a Plaintiff in INTACT's SLAPP action against its own Named Insured, was instrumental in the legal, regulatory and ethical entanglements that have ensued. By example, at a Provincial Court Settlement Conference, Cordick repeated the odious lie that INTACT's Named Insured was an unstable, vexatious litigant, who visited the feral pigeons, in their roost. That absurd, scurrilous lie drew derision from the Judge, and forever poisoned the Named Insured's position in the litigation before that Court.

Michele Vincent, Intact Ombudsman, committed a litany of false representations and unlawful cover-ups. One of the more egregious was exposed by Intact's Privacy Officer, Helen Cameron. A Plaintiff in INTACT's SLAPP action against its own Named Insured, Vincent's false representations to federal and provincial regulators, and her Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress, against the Named Insured and his wife, also a Named Insured, is detailed with documentary evidence, on this comprehensive, public interest website.

As part of her unlawful cover-up, despite letters from INTACT personnel, the authority of Strata Property Act § 155(b), and the Supreme Court ruling, Ombudsman Vincent continues, unabated in her wrongful conduct. When the Named Insured requested a common Claims Experience Letter (on 16 May 2024), Ombudsman Vincent replied with a refusal, still denying his status as Named Insured. Her email of 13 June 2024 is displayed below, type enlarged for legibility and emphasised in yellow.

INTACT "Strategic Team Leader" Amanda Myers. In furtherance of her scheme to avoid investigation of the Named Insured's claim, Myers had invented her false narrative of having completed a claims investigation, which was exposed, when INTACT Privacy Officer, Helen Cameron, conducted an internal affairs probe, confirming, in a release of 19 January 2024, that Myers had not only concocted her claims investigation, she had engaged in an extensive cover-up of her activities for over two (2) years. Incredibly, Myers is also Plaintiff in INTACT's SLAPP action against its own Named Insured, notwithstanding the fact that in her letter of 30 September 2021, Myers had confirmed the Defendant's status as a Named Insured!

Listen to the below song, an endearing tribute to "Strategic Team Leader" Amanda Myers.

To the right is an image of an ornamental pigeon roost ledge, situated next to a bedroom window of INTACT's Named Insured's 17th floor residential unit. As indicated in the image, the ledge was replete with large amounts of contaminated, toxic spore-producing faecal matter.

The building Strata Corporation refused to abate the health hazard, so the Named Insured occupant submitted a First Party claim with INTACT.

On this website is a letter dated 30 September 2021, from INTACT, acknowledging the status of Named Insured, and confirming the following policy language:

2. EACH OF THE FOLLOWING IS ALSO AN INSURED: 2.5. Your unit or strata lot owners and any tenants, but only with respect to the conduct of the corporation for liability arising out of the common property, excluding liability arising out of the owner's or tenant's possession, occupation or use of property designated for exclusive use.

Faced with the "dilemma" of having to process and possibly pay a claim, the INTACT Claims Manager, Amanda Myers, devised a scheme [which she has refused to renounce for more than three (3) years], that the Named Insured had physically "possessed", "occupied" and "used" the ornamental pigeon roost ledge, thus triggering the policy exclusion. The roost is physically inaccessible from the Named Insured’s high rise unit. The ledge is devoid of any means of ingress/egress. It is legally, physically and architecturally, common property; not part of any unit of the residential building.

The images to the right is of the health hazard abatement team from specialist Humane Solutions, which, in accordance with BC WorkSafe and OSHA regulations, the remediation crews were required to don protective hazmat suits, special air filtration masks, and safety tie lines, as they gained access to the ledge, by way of a work platform, anchored at the roof of the high rise building. The Named Insured paid $2,541 for the health hazard abatement service.

INTACT personnel Amanda Myers, Christa Rae Cordick and Michele Vincent had all declared the Claimant's status as a Named Insured. Additionally, the Insurance Broker Gordon Li, Sedgwick Sr Adjuster Daphne Chan, and Heather Bidnall, Compliance Officer of the Insurance Council of BC, also confirmed the Claimant's status as a Named Insured.

However, in perfidious defiance of all of the foregoing authorities, a Whitelaw-Twining Partner devised and conducted the highly lucrative scheme to falsely accuse RB of not being a First Party Named Insured, who submitted a claim with INTACT, under the false pretence of so being. In aggravation of his actions, this Partner proceeded to file two (2) SLAPP actions against RB in the BC Supreme Court, for highly wrongful motives.

The Whitelaw-Twining Partner's disservice to his client INTACT goes beyond mere Abuse of Process and Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress of its Named Insured, since the Partner deliberately ignored RB's repeated requests to apprise Sedgwick (the adjusting authority for all of several Scheduled Insurers, under the subject comprehensive BFL Strata Protect policy) of RB's claim, which is covered under the provisions of other Scheduled Insurers' contractual provisions.

THIS PUBLIC INTEREST WEBSITE IS OF NECESSITY, FACTUALLY CRITICAL OF CERTAIN ROGUE PERSONNEL, EMBEDDED WITHIN THE RANKS OF INTACT INSURANCE. 

FOR REASONS OF TRANSPARENCY AND FAIRNESS, THERE REMAINS THE REMOTE POSSIBILITY THAT EXECUTIVES CEO CHARLES BRINDAMOUR, SR LEGAL COUNSEL MATHIEU GRENIER AND LEGAL COMPLIANCE OFFICER FREDERIC COTNOIR BE UNAWARE OF THE EXISTENCE OF THESE ROGUE ELEMENTS, WHO CONTINUE TO EXPOSE INTACT TO THE IRONY OF INCREASINGLY COSTLY IGNOMINY.

THEREFORE, PRIOR TO THE OPTIMISATION OF THIS WEBSITE'S SEO SETTINGS AND THE INTRODUCTION OF A SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORM, WITH BLOG ACTIVITY, IT HAS BEEN REQUESTED OF INTACT'S LEGAL COUNSEL NIGEL BECKMANN, THAT HE DETERMINE IF ANY OF THE AFOREMENTIONED GENTLEMEN IS WILLING TO INSTRUCT THAT OMBUDSMAN VINCENT PERMIT THAT THE CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE TEAM CONCLUDE THE COMPLAINT INVESTIGATION, ASSIGNED BY MS. VINCENT ON 23 MAY 2023.

The staggering administrative costs of Ombudsman Vincent's obstruction of her own Complaint investigation, in conjunction with a confirmed more than $50,000 in legal fees, to a Partner of Whitelaw-Twining, would be of concern to an actuarial, if not to a disinterested observer. With all due respect to INTACT, this website is intended to be informational, not necessarily as actuarial advice!

Perhaps the below song will accord INTACT a clew !

A COST-BENEFIT ANALYSIS (CBA) IS A SYSTEMISED APPROACH USED TO ASSESS THE ADVANTAGES (BENEFITS) AND DISADVANTAGES (COSTS) ASSOCIATED WITH A PARTICULAR DECISION, PROJECT OR POLICY.

In this case, the sum "benefit" to INTACT is the Ombudsman's (temporary) avoidance of issuance of a Final Decision Letter to a Named Insured (who has offered to pay for postage), as well as some Manager's perverse sense of accomplishment, in instructing a lawyer to file two (2) civil actions against the Named Insured Whistleblower, in retaliation for his exposure of the illegal activities of an Alberta Claims Team!

The costs are (1) administrative expenses for two house lawyers (Casey Goodrich and Christa Rae Cordick) and their staff (2) legal costs for specialty lawyer (Nigel Beckmann) and his staff (3) court filing and other fees (4) administrative expenses in warding off regulatory agencies (5) Human Rights Tribunal defence (6) reputational damage, inherent in (7) eventual regulatory compliance enforcement measures (8) employee morale (9) replacement of rogue employees, etc.

Perhaps INTACT should expedite plans to implement GENERATIVE AI !

AT WHAT COST, REPUTATIONAL IGNOMINY?

In summary, this website contains detailed, documentary evidence of the following of INTACT INSURANCE's violations of morality, ethics, regulatory and other legal standards, such as:

(1) A "Strategic Leader" Claims Team's wrongful fabrication of a claims investigation (uncovered during an internal affairs probe, ordered by INTACT's diligent Privacy Officer)

(2) INTACT's lawyer's false charge of a Whistleblower's having committed the offence of submission of an insurance claim, under false pretences

(3) Extortionary threat by an INTACT lawyer, of litigation against a Whistleblower, unless he should renounce his Charter Rights

(4) Obstruction of justice, by INTACT's conflicted-of-interest Ombudsman/Complaint Officer, by her Order to the Customer Experience Team to cease a Complaint investigation, that she, herself had commissioned

(5) Violations of other federal and provincial insurance company regulations, plus an array of miscellaneous ethical offences

Federal and provincial regulators have refrained from enforcement measures against INTACT, in view of Ombudsman, Michele Vincent's 26 May 2023 referral of Named Insured RB's Complaint to the Customer Experience Team, for an investigation and Final Decision letter (below). However, after more than one year, six months, the Customer Experience Team's investigation has not yet been completed, thus no required Final Decision letter has been released. Ombudsman Vincent's signature 'Open-Ended, Never to be Concluded' (TM) Complaint investigations are belied by INTACT's websites, which state:

"If you have a complaint about the service you have received, you have a right to access your company's complaint resolution process. Intact will provide you with information about how you can ensure that your complaint is [sic] heard and promptly handled". Given Ombudsman Vincent's wrongful, bad faith Complaint Resolution modus operandi, 'promptness' equates to 'never'!

24 April 2023 Manal, member of INTACT's (Step-2) Customer Experience Team, acknowledged receipt of a formal Complaint, filed by RB, an INTACT Named Insured. In Manal's email, she stated that the Unit Claims Manager (the subject of the Complaint) would be notified, with an opportunity to resolve the Complaint. The Unit Claims Manager ignored the Named Insured's efforts, so in strict compliance with INTACT's Complaint Resolution Protocol, RB proceeded to Ombudsman Michele Vincent (Step 3).

26 May 2023 Ombudsman Vincent commissioned a formal inquiry into RB's Complaint to the Customer Experience Team, assuring RB that the results of the Customer Experience Team's investigation would be provided to him, in a Final Decision letter.

08 July 2024 Although 409 days had passed since the Ombudsman's assignment to the Customer Experience Team, neither case updates, nor the promised Final Decision letter had been provided. Instead of completion of compliance with regulatory protocol, in retaliation for his Complaint, Ombudsman Vincent sued the Named Insured in the BC Supreme Court File No. VLC-S-S-244484

10 July 2024 A mere two (2) days thereafter, Ombudsman Vincent filed another retaliatory lawsuit against the Named Insured, in the BC Supreme Court File No. VLC-S-S-244577

22 November 2024 INTACT's hyper-zealous lawyer Nigel Beckmann threatened even more retaliatory, extortionary litigation against RB, unless RB should unconditionally renounce his freedom of expression rights, by unconditional deactivation of this public service website.

Note: Notwithstanding the fact his INTACT personnel Clients, Amanda Myers and Christa Rae Cordick had assured INTACT's attorney, Nigel Beckmann (* a Whitelaw-Twining Partner), that RB was a Named Insured of INTACT, Beckmann perpetrated a lucrative scheme by falsely accusing RB of submission of an insurance claim with INTACT, under the false pretence of being an Insured.

* A cozy 'boutique' law firm, that represents itself to be a staunch defender of the falsely accused!

When our CEO, Charles Brindamour orders regulatory compliance, he does not countenance false, deceptive reports to regulators!

As detailed herein, on 26 May 2023, Ombudsman Michele Vincent responded to regulatory inquiries by the BCFSA and FCAC, by assignment of a Named Insured's 3-step formal Complaint to the Customer Experience Team, (Step 2 of INTACT's federally and provincially required Complaint Resolution Protocol). Ombudsman Vincent instructed that, upon completion of the Customer Experience Team's investigation, the results thereof were to be provided to the Named Insured, in a Final Decision letter, within 60 days (no later than 26 July 2023).

Unaware that Ombudsman Vincent had been engaged in an extensive cover-up, the Regulators deferred to Vincent's disingenuous representation that the Customer Experience Team's Final Decision letter would be released. However, after one year and two months of the Ombudsman's assignment to the Customer Experience Team, neither results of any investigation, nor any Final Decision letter has been provided.

Ombudsman Vincent's legal and ethical dilemma was her inability to hold the regulators at bay indefinitely, since due to some perversity, she has had no intention of statutory compliance with the regulations!

Thus, Ombudsman Vincent devised a scheme to sue the Named Insured, in the extortionary expectation that the financial stress would compel him to withdraw his Complaint. In furtherance of her scheme, she agreed to assume the rôle of lead Plaintiff, in a civil action against the Named Insured, as devised by a Whitelaw-Twining Partner, who filed such a civil action on 08 July 2024. When the Named Insured refused to withdraw his Complaint, lead Plaintiff Vincent instructed a second, duplicate civil action against the Named Insured, filed on 10 July 2024.

In all likelihood, CEO Brindamour does not condone such deceptions, in lieu of good faith compliance,

although he has yet to intercede in Ombudsman Vincent's reign of deception. The regulators have recently been notified of INTACT's eternal statutory violations, and have indicated renewed interest in enforcement.

Even at the otherwise evitable damage to INTACT Insurance reputation, Ombudsman Michele Vincent continues her deceptive, dilatory practice of Perpetually Unfinished Complaint Investigations. A case in point, on 26 May 2023, Ombudsman Vincent assigned the subject Complaint to INTACT's Step-2 Customer Experience Team, for investigation into an Alberta Claims Team's documented, unlawful activities. As of 12 November 2024 (536 days later) the statutorily required Final Decision Letter has not been released.

The song to the right has been written in Ombudsman

Michele Vincent's enduring tribute.

INTACT FINANCIAL CORPORATION Annual Financial Report (a Compendium of Unattained Objectives)

In the Annual Financial Report, to the left, INTACT states a woefully unattained, risk management objective:

"To mitigate these risks, we have established escalation procedures to help ensure that our customers have multiple channels to express any dissatisfaction. This includes a Customer Experience Team and an Ombudsman’s Office which both offer the opportunity for customer dissatisfaction to be resolved."

The unadulterated facts expose INTACT's systemic, de facto "Regulatory Authorities Deception Initiative Ongoing [RADIO].

On 26 May 2023 (upon a Named Insured's formal Complaint) in accordance with INTACT Complaint Resolution Protocol, Ombudsman Michele Vincent commissioned the Step-2 Customer Experience Team to investigate an illegal coverage denial. Per INTACT's regulations, the results of the investigation must be provided to the Named Insured, in a Final Decision letter, within 60 days (no later than 26 July 2023).

However, when faced with the daunting prospect of honesty, Ombudsman Vincent suddenly turned rogue, and has artfully eluded federal and provincial regulatory authorities, with a subterfuge, claiming that the Customer Experience Team hasn't completed its investigation. After one year and four months, the Final Decision Letter has not been released, nor has its statutory corollary, the Claims Experience Letter!

In the annual Financial Report, to the right, it is written: "The SVP, Corporate and Legal services reports to the Board of Directions, and its committees on such matters, including with respect to privacy and Ombudsman complaints."

INTACT omits in this Financial Report its deliberate suppression of the investigative discovery of Privacy Officer Helen Cameron.

Under the independent, administrative authority of the Privacy Office, Ms. Cameron conducted her own internal affairs probe, which culminated in the 19 January 2024 announcement that the Alberta Claims Team's alleged "claims investigation" had been an arrant fabrication.

Moreover, it was uncovered that Ombudsman Vincent's refusal to release the Customer Experience Team's findings is part of her elaborate cover-up, to prevent the Alberta Claims Manager's wrongful claims activity from regulatory enforcement exposure!

In collusion with the Ombudsman's wrongful acts and omissions, a certain rogue managerial element has nullified CEO Brindamour's enduring conservative fiscal measures, by the funding of an estimated (to date) more than $50,000 in legal fees, to a Partner of the Whitelaw-Twining law firm, a consummate antagonist that filed two (2) SLAPP lawsuits against the aforementioned Complainant/Whistleblower, naming the wayward Ombudsman Vincent as lead Plaintiff!

In classic irony, at a staggering cost to INTACT's shareholders, Whitelaw-Twining's reckless acts and omissions greatly increase the risks of federal and provincial regulatory intervention against INTACT.

INTACT Insurance could well benefit from the creation of the position of Regulatory Compliance Troubleshooter [RCT], responsible for identifying, analysing, and resolving regulatory compliance issues, to ensure that INTACT's operations adhere to all relevant laws and regulations.

The RCT would work closely with and monitor various departments, such as that of the Ombudsman, to eliminate untoward legal expenses, that serve only to tarnish INTACT's reputation and credibility. The RCT would address and resolve other general compliance challenges, thus fostering a culture of accountability and regulatory excellence.

The Financial Institutions Act (FIA) of British Columbia, specifically Sections 94.1, 158, 189, and 192 require insurers to adopt and comply with the BCFSA Code of Market Conduct. This code ensures fair treatment of customers, including proper handling of complaints and claims.

This code incorporates the principles from the Canadian Council of Insurance Regulators' (CCIR) Fair Treatment of Customers (FTC) guidance. It includes 12 expected outcomes that ensure insurers treat customers fairly throughout the product lifecycle.

The BC Financial Services Authority (BCFSA) requires insurance companies in British Columbia to have a complaint resolution protocol. This protocol ensures that insurers handle complaints in a fair, transparent, and timely manner. The guidelines include:

1. Managerial Oversight: Insurers must have managerial oversight to review and monitor operations, ensuring compliance with established laws and policies.

2. Claims and Complaints Handling Policies and Procedures: Insurers need to have clear policies and procedures for handling claims and complaints.

3. Claims and Complaints File Maintenance: Insurers must maintain detailed records of all correspondence, documents, and interactions related to claims and complaints

AS FULLY DETAILED ON THIS WEBSITE, FOR 538 DAYS INTACT INSURANCE OMBUDSMAN, MICHELE VINCENT, HAD TEMPORARILY SUCCEEDED IN DELAYING [FIA SECTION 80.3] ENFORCEMENT PROCEEDINGS, BY FEDERAL AND PROVINCIAL INSURANCE REGULATORS, BY THE ASSIGNMENT OF THE COMPLAINT TO INTACT'S CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE TEAM [STEP-2 OF THE COMPLAINT RESOLUTION PROTOCOL] HOWEVER, IN A FUTILE ATTEMPT TO HOLD REGULATORS AT PAY FOREVER, SHE LATER WRONGFULLY RIGGED THE SYSTEM, BY ARRANGING THAT THE STEP-2 CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE INVESTIGATION BE ABORTED; THUS PREVENTING THAT THE OBLIGATORY STEP-2 FINAL DECISION LETTER EVER BE CREATED/RELEASED.

UPON EXPOSURE OF OMBUDSMAN VINCENT'S UNLAWFUL RUSE, BY WHISTLEBLOWERS RB AND PRIVACY OFFICER HELEN CAMERON, VINCENT ORDERED HER ATTORNEY TO SUE RB TWICE, WITHIN 2 DAYS!

Has the Partner of law firm Whitelaw-Twining committed the tort of Barratry? This tort Involves Meddling In the Affairs of Others and Encouraging Others to Use Legal Processes As a Means to Inflict Stress and Strife Rather than to Use Legal Processes for the Legitimate Purpose thereof.

SAINT CIBOIRE !

INTACT has spent tens of thousands of shareholders' capital, and will spend tens of thousands more, just to temporarily avoid having to issue a Claims Experience letter to RB, a person whom they have declared to be a Named Insured!

CHRONOLOGY

30 September 2021 INTACT Alberta Claims Team Manager Amanda Myers sent a letter to RB, in which they she confirmed RB's status as a Named Insured of INTACT. For some reason, although she claimed to have conducted a claims investigation, she negligently assumed that a cemented, ornamental narrow pigeon roost ledge, outside and below RB's 18th floor unit had been a bedroom, within the unit, and based upon that grossly negligent miscalculation, the Claims Team declared that RB had triggered an exclusion to coverage.

02 October 2021 ~ RB contacted the Alberta Claims Team on numerous occasions for several months, repeatedly reminding the Team of their obvious error, inviting the Team to dispatch a claims investigator to his unit, in order to inspect the premises, and confirm that the Claims Team's coverage denial had been based upon the false calculation that the pigeon roost ledge was located within RB's 18th floor bedroom.

26 May 2023 Finally, in response to a formal Complaint, in accordance with INTACT 3-step Complaint Resolution Protocol, INTACT Ombudsman Michele Vincent commissioned a formal inquiry into the coverage denial, to be conducted by the Step-2 Customer Experience Team, with the results of their investigation to be stated in an INTACT Final Decision letter.

26 May 2023 ~07 December 2023 Inexplicably, Ombudsman Michele Vincent reneged on her assignment of RB's Complaint to the Customer Experience Team, ordering the Team to cease and desist its ongoing investigation.

07 December 2023 Whitelaw-Twining Partner, Nigel Beckmann sent a letter to RB, threatening to sue RB for submission of RB's insurance claim with INTACT, under the false pretence of being an Insured of the company. At the time, Mr. Beckmann was aware of the fact that the Alberta Claims Team, INTACT house counsel Christa Rae Cordick, the Strata Property Act Section 155(b), and the BC Supreme Court, in the cased of Strata Plan VR 2213 v. Schappert, 2023 BCSC 2080, had defined RB's legal status as a Named Insured of INTACT!

19 January 2024 At RB's request, and in his support, INTACT's Privacy Officer, Helen Cameron, launched her own internal affairs probe, declaring that the Alberta Claims Team's alleged "claims investigation" had been a complete fabrication! 08 July 2024 Finding that RB refused to succumb to Whitelaw-Twining Partner, Nigel Beckmann's false and defamatory accusations, Attorney Beckmann filed a SLAPP action against RB, BC Supreme Court File No. VLC-S-S-244484

10 July 2024 A mere two (2) days thereafter, when RB stood resolute against Attorney Beckmann's false and defamatory accusations, Mr. Beckmann filed another, duplicate SLAPP action against RB, court File No. VLC-S-S-244577

In a stunning example of Attorney Beckmann's relentless, irreconcilable, overlapping solemn conflicts of interest, he even solicited Alberta Claims Team Manager Amanda Myers and Ombudsman Michele Vincent as his Clients, Plaintiffs in the two (2) SLAPP actions against RB! Upon assignment of a trial date, such will be posted on this site, with an invitation to the justice-seeking public, as well as one major and one minor media organisations, to attend.

19 January 2024 At RB's request, and in his support, INTACT's Privacy Officer, Helen Cameron, launched her own internal affairs probe, declaring that the Alberta Claims Team's alleged "claims investigation" had been a complete fabrication! 08 July 2024 Finding that RB refused to succumb to Whitelaw-Twining Partner, Nigel Beckmann's false and defamatory accusations, Attorney Beckmann filed a SLAPP action against RB, BC Supreme Court File No. VLC-S-S-244484

10 July 2024 A mere two (2) days thereafter, when RB stood resolute against Attorney Beckmann's false and defamatory accusations, Mr. Beckmann filed another, duplicate SLAPP action against RB, court File No. VLC-S-S-244577

In a stunning example of Attorney Beckmann's relentless, irreconcilable, overlapping solemn conflicts of interest, he even solicited Alberta Claims Team Manager Amanda Myers and Ombudsman Michele Vincent as his Clients, Plaintiffs in the two (2) SLAPP actions against RB! Upon assignment of a trial date, such will be posted on this site, with an invitation to the justice-seeking public, as well as one major and one minor media organisations, to attend.

This song suggests immediate action by INTACT CEO Charles Brindamour, if he is to purge the company of rogue elements, who continue to besmirch our reputation.

The below song is provided for purposes of instruction.

INTACT CEO CHARLES BRINDAMOUR'S "LIVING OUR VALUES" DIRECTIVE WARRANTS DISCIPLINARY PROCEEDINGS AGAINST ANY ROGUE ELEMENTS THAT CONTINUE TO VIOLATE THE CARDINAL RULE OF "STAND UP FOR WHAT IS RIGHT"!

In his INTACT Clients' court pleadings, Whitelaw-Twining's Nigel Beckmann has inculpated himself and his Clients with the perjured falsehoods (1) that RB has never been a Named Insured of INTACT and (2) that INTACT conducted a "review or investigation".

In Paulus v. Fleury, 2018 ONCA 1072, the Court of Appeal held that a factual misrepresentation by counsel in judicial proceedings could amount to deceit or civil fraud “in those circumstances where there would be no reasonable basis for the factual assertion; nor could it be said that the statement was made in good faith” (para 30).

Rule 5.1-2(e) of the Law Society states that a lawyer must not knowingly attempt to deceive a tribunal by offering false evidence, misstating facts, presenting or relying upon a false or deceptive affidavit, suppressing what ought to be disclosed, or otherwise assisting in any fraud, crime, or illegal conduct

Rule 5.1-2(a) states that a lawyer must not abuse the process of the tribunal by instituting or prosecuting proceedings which, although legal in themselves, are clearly motivated by malice on the part of the client and are brought solely for the purpose of injuring the other party.

Rule 5.1-2(b) states that a lawyer must not knowingly assist or encourage any person to abuse the process of the tribunal by instituting or prosecuting proceedings which, although legal in themselves, are clearly motivated by malice on the part of the client and are brought solely for the purpose of injuring the other party.

Rule 5.1-2(c) states that a lawyer must not knowingly make a false or misleading statement to a tribunal.

Rule 5.1-2(d) states that a lawyer must not knowingly present false evidence or assist in any fraud, crime, or illegal conduct.

In this INTACT case, Lawyer Beckmann has the requisite element of scienter; i.e. he intentionally created, filed and served the aforementioned pleadings, with the material false representations, with the Court. Thus, said false representations were not and are not matters of Mr. Beckmann's discretionary opinion!

Mr. Beckmann's pleadings (1) that RB has never been an Insured of INTACT, and (2) that his Clients, INTACT's personnel, had conducted a "review or investigation", constitute intentional false representations, in view of his Clients' letter of 30 September 2021, citing Strata Property Act Section 155(b), in confirmation of RB's status as a Named Insured. Furthermore, in her herein letter of 19 January 2024, Privacy Officer Helen Cameron declared that the "review or investigation" that Mr. Beckmann swears was conducted, never occurred!

The documentary evidence of NB's false representations to the court are detailed, herein. The issue is that his Clients will be examined, at trial, and if they fail to denounce the false representations, attributed to them by their lawyer, Mr. Beckmann, then they will be subjected to charges of criminal perjury! Mr. Beckmann has further subjected his Clients to contradict themselves and each other, at trial.

As further detailed herein, Mr. Beckmann will be personally examined at trial, since it was his scurrilous, defamatory letter of 07 December 2023, falsely accusing RB of having submitted a claim with INTACT, under the false pretence of being a (Named) Insured, that mutated into the remunerative (to Whitelaw-Twining), costly (to INTACT) morass of numerous conflicts of interest, wrongful claims practices, moral, ethical and legal entanglements of this cause celebre before the BC Supreme Court.

Lawyer Beckmann has elected to become an indispensable witness to his own false, defamatory charges, which necessitates that he be examined under oath, at trial, or RB may elect to file a Motion to Disqualify Mr. Beckmann.

Law Society Regulation

SECTION 5.2-1 THE LAWYER AS WITNESS

A lawyer should not express personal opinions or beliefs or assert as a fact anything that is properly subject to legal proof, cross-examination, or challenge. The lawyer should not in effect appear as an unsworn witness or put the lawyer's own credibility in issue. The lawyer who is a necessary witness should testify and entrust the conduct of the case to another lawyer.

A law firm can be held liable for the acts of its partners, especially in a general partnership where each partner is jointly and severally liable for the actions of the other partners. This means that the firm itself, as well as the individual partners, can be held responsible for any wrongful acts committed by a partner in the course of the firm's business

The document to the left, signed by Mr. Beckmann's Client, Amanda Myers, confirming RB's status as a Named Insured, is evidence that Mr. Beckmann's above representation to the court (#1) is false!

The document to the right, a letter from Privacy Officer Helen Cameron, that no investigation was conducted, is evidence that Mr. Beckmann's above representation to the Court (#2) is equally false!

As a Named Insured, RB's numerous requests for a direly-needed Customer Experience letter constitutes the exercise of a most fundamental, non-pecuniary, contractual right of an Insured. Since INTACT had denied his claim, based upon a fabricated "investigation", such a letter is essential for the underwriters of prospective insurers, in order to enable them to assess the facts, in their determination of RB's insurability, exposure and rates.

Lawyer Beckmann's injudicious advice that his Client, INTACT's Ombudsman, refuse to issue the Customer Experience letter, constitutes the solemn tort of Intentional Interference with the Contractual Relations between INTACT and RB, and represents an impermissible transgression of CEO Charles Brindamour's "Living Our Values" Directive, infra.

Whitelaw-Twining Partner, Mr. Nigel Beckmann, Esq. is the source and propagator of the defamatory falsity that RB had never been an INTACT Named Insured; that he submitted his claim, no. 4033526840, under the false pretence of being an Insured. The impetus behind these false accusations, Mr. Beckmann will be examined, under oath, at trial. Thus, Law Society of British Columbia Rules 5.2-1 and 2.1-3 specifically require that since he will be subjected to examination, at trial, he is obligated to entrust the conduct of the case to other counsel.

The falsely accused Defendant has an absolute right to examine trial counsel Beckmann, given the precedent of cases such as R v. Stinchcombe (1991), R v. Quesnelle (2014) R v. Rose (1998) wherein the Supreme Court of Canada ruled that the accused has the right to full disclosure of information that could be used to challenge the credibility of a witness, including records of prior dishonesty.

PROUD INTRODUCTION OF MONSIEUR CHARLES BRINDAMOUR, THE HONOURABLE CEO OF INTACT FINANCIAL, WHOSE DEVOTION TO INTACT'S CREDO OF HONESTY AND GOOD FAITH IS OF LEGEND. THUS THE HEREIN EXPOSÉ OF THE ALBERTA CLAIMS TEAM'S FABRICATION OF A CLAIMS INVESTIGATION, AND OTHER WRONGFUL ACTIVITY, AS CONFIRMED BY INTACT PRIVACY OFFICER, HELEN CAMERON, WOULD BE OF URGENT INTEREST TO CEO BRINDAMOUR.

WITH AN ABUNDANCE OF RESPECT FOR CEO BRINDAMOUR, IN VIEW OF THE DOCUMENTED FACTS, THE ROGUE ELEMENTS OF THE ALBERTA CLAIMS TEAM, AS WELL AS THEIR POLEMICIST AT WHITELAW-TWINING LAW FIRM, ARE IN DIRE NEED OF PROFESSIONAL REMEDIATION!

Quite the consummate fiscal conservative, in the oft-cited, televised chat of 14 May 2024, with CIBC Capital Market Analyst Paul Holden, CEO Charles Brindamour lamented a root cause of insurers’ rising claims costs — inflated legal fees.

As to legal fees, if CEO Brindamour's subordinates were to permit that he be aware of the fiscal, ethical and legal travesty that this matter engenders, then he would immediately order the cessation of INTACT's expenditures of a confirmed (to date) more than $50,000 in needless legal fees, to Whitelaw-Twining, an antagonist that relentlessly stands in opposition to Mr. Brindamour's directive, to "stand up for what is right"! This antagonist, a fortiori, had falsely accused a Named Insured of the criminality of submission of a claim with INTACT, under false pretences, as detailed, herein.

Charles Brindamour, has been the CEO of Intact Financial Corporation since 2008. He has shown a strong commitment to maintaining the company's integrity and addressing issues like bad faith, wrongful activities. He has been vocal about the importance of ethical practices and ensuring that the company operate with transparency and accountability. For more than two years, INTACT's Sr Legal Counsel Mathieu Grenier and Legal Compliance Officer Frédéric Cotnoir have abandoned INTACT's core interests, by artfully distancing themselves from this festering liability. However, given CEO Brindamour's commitment to honesty and good faith, it is essential that he be notified of the ethical, moral and legal entanglements, caused by an Alberta Team's unlawful claims activities, as well as INTACT's offence counsel's scurrillous accusation of a Named Insured having submitted claim no. 4033526840 under the false pretence of being an Insured.

CEO Brindamour appointed Michele Vincent as OMBUDSMAN. As documented herein, Ombudsman Vincent is licensed by the Ontario government as INTACT's COMPLAINT OFFICER.

As COMPLAINT OFFICER, Ms. Vincent commissioned Intact's Step-2, Customer Experience Team to investigate a formal Complaint (made by Named Insured "RB", of illegal claims practices. However, as part of a wrongful cover-up, and egregious violation of the Ontario Insurance Act, just as the Customer Experience Team was about to issue its Decision letter, Ms. Vincent, as OMBUDSMAN, ordered the Customer Experience Team to cease and desist the investigation that she, herself, had ordered as COMPLAINT OFFICER. At that point, justice advocate, Whistleblower Helen Cameron, the conscientious Intact Privacy Officer, intervened, with her own internal affairs probe, confirming the validity of RB's Complaint; that his claim had been subjected to a wrongful scheme by an Alberta Claims Team.

Given CEO Brindamour's enduring commitment to the sanctity of INTACT's public image of honesty and good faith, it is respectfully requested that he immediately intervene in this legal travesty, which has already cost the company tens of thousands of dollars in Whitelaw-Twining's attorneys' offence fees, as well as INTACT's related internal administrative costs.

A significant damage control step in the reestablishment of INTACT's reputation would be that CEO Brindamour Order a legitimate, good faith investigation of claim 4033526840, to replace the sham version, as fabricated by the Alberta Claims Team.

INSURANCE ACT OF ONTARIO

Insurance Ombudsman

5.1 (1) The Chief Executive Officer shall appoint an employee of the Authority as Insurance Ombudsman. (2) The Insurance Ombudsman shall inquire into complaints about insurers’ business practices.

(3) A person may submit a written complaint about an insurer’s business practices to the Insurance Ombudsman if the person has submitted the complaint to the insurer and the complaint has not been resolved within a reasonable time. (4) The Insurance Ombudsman shall give the insurer an opportunity to respond to any complaint submitted under subsection (5) After considering the complaint and any response, the Insurance Ombudsman may attempt to resolve the complaint or may recommend to the Chief Executive Officer that the Chief Executive Officer inquire into the complaint.

PLAINTIFF INTACT'S MERITLESS LEGAL POSITION

1. Not only has Mr. Beckmann contradicted all of his Clients, in their confirmations that RB was a Named Insured of INTACT, Beckmann filed two (2) duplicate civil actions against RB, in retaliation for RB's creation of this informative public interest website. 2. In a letter of 07 December 2023, Mr. Beckmann accused RB of the crime of submission of a claim with INTACT, under the false pretence of being an Insured of the company.

3.Mr Beckmann supports INTACT's position that RB nullified his insurance coverage, by residing in the residential building's 18th floor ledge inaccessible, pigeon roost ledge (as depicted in the hereinbelow images).

4.As required by the Supreme Court, the parties to the civil action must submit a list of documents, intended to be used at trial. Mr. Beckmann has failed to adequately identify the documents that INTACT would introduce, in order to accommodate a requisite exchange of documents.

5.Through Mr. Beckmann, INTACT has ignored RB's offer to dismiss one of the Cross-Defendants.

6.Through Mr. Beckmann, INTACT refuses to respond to an OIPC Freedom of Information request, as part and parcel of INTACT's elaborate and costly legal cover-up

THE FACTS (as documented on this website)

1.(a) In a letter of 30 September 2021, INTACT's Claims Manager, Amanda Myers defined RB's status as a Named Insured.

(b) In a legal filing of 19 May 2023, INTACT's Senior Legal Counsel, Christa Rae Cordick declared RB's status as a Named Insured. (c) Per the BC Strata Property Act, Section 155(b), RB has been a Named Insured of INTACT. (d) In the case of Strata Plan VR 2213 v. Schappert, 2023 BCSC 2080, the BC Supreme Court reaffirmed that all persons situated as RB, are Named Insureds of policies.

2. As a Named Insured of INTACT, RB's submission of the subject claim was acknowledged and accepted as legitimate by INTACT's aforementioned Claims Team, in addition to the other authorities.

3. As a gentleman, Mr. Beckmann should abandon INTACT's reprehensible narrative of a human being cohabitating with a flock of feral pigeons, upon a physically inaccessible, ornamental pigeon roost ledge. If he should persist in such a delusion, at trial, his strategy will easily backfire!

4. RB has identified all documents to be used at trial, and has attempted to establish the conditions for an appropriate exchange of documents.

5. RB has even offered a covenant not to execute any judgement against a certain of Mr. Beckmann's Clients.

The creator of this website, RB, is a retired expert, award-winning carpet installer, committed to the protection of his similarly situated, fellow INTACT insureds. His efforts have required that he single handedly hold at bay a billion dollar insurer, with its legal apologists, minimally diverse, Whitelaw-Twining, teeming with 66 lawyers, some multilingual. RB continues in his public interest quest, armed only of the facts and truth, in addition to literacy and conversancy of more languages than the entirety of Whitelaw-Twining's lawyers. For more than three (3) years RB has unsuccessfully attempted to attract the interest of INTACT INSURANCE'S SR LEGAL COUNSEL MATHIEU GRENIER or LEGAL COMPLIANCE OFFICER FREDERIC COTNOIR, of specific wrongful claims practices, committed by an INTACT Alberta Claims Team, as detailed herein. Thus, RB has decided to greatly expand the heretofore limited scope of promulgation of this strictly factual, public interest website, and is researching the utilisation of social media influencer networks, and other public interest methods.

RB extends his gratitude to INTACT fellow Whistleblower, the courageous Privacy Officer Helen Cameron, who commissioned her own internal affairs investigation, that resulted in the exposure of INTACT's wrongful claims practices, as detailed herein.

Another conscientious INTACT employée, who courageously refuses to promote the false narrative, is Senior INTACT Attorney Christa Rae Cordick, who supports the facts and the truth, by repudiating lead counsel, Nigel Beckmann, in his false, defamatory accusations, as detailed herein.

INTACT INSURANCE HAS SQUANDERED TENS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS OF ITS SHAREHOLDERS' FUNDS, PROMOTING THE FARCICAL, CONFLICTED-OF-INTEREST PRETENCE THAT MICHELE VINCENT, AS INTACT'S COMPLAINT OFFICER, WOULD DISCIPLINE HERSELF, AS INTACT'S OMBUDSMAN

In her rôle as INTACT's COMPLAINT OFFICER, Michele Vincent is licensed by the Financial Services Regulatory Authority of Ontario (FSRA). In strict conformity with the requirements of her licensure, as Complaint Officer, Ms. Vincent has consistently conducted herself and her office in an exemplary good faith, courteous and professional manner. To her credit, as COMPLAINT OFFICER, upon her receipt of a Named Insured, RB's formal Complaint of wrongful claims practices on the part of an Alberta Claims Team (detailed herein), on 26 May 2023 Ms. Vincent assigned the Complaint to INTACT's Step-2 Customer Experience Team, for an investigation, and a Final Decision letter to RB, upon conclusion thereof. COMPLAINT OFFICER Vincent even exceeded expectations, by meticulously providing the Alberta Claims Team with a copy of the Step-2 Complaint, and her assignment thereof to the Customer Experience Team Investigators. In her rôle as COMPLAINT OFFICER, Ms. Vincent has well complied with the requirements of her licensing authority, FSRA, regarding the Step-2 Complaint:

"In Ontario, a Complaint Officer typically works within an organisation to handle and resolve complaints from the public or internal stakeholders before they escalate. Their role includes:

Receiving Complaints: They are the first point of contact for individuals who have grievances or issues with the organization's services or conduct.

Investigating Issues: They gather information, review the circumstances, and investigate the validity of the complaints.

Resolving Complaints: They aim to address and resolve issues at an early stage, providing solutions or explanations to the complainant.

Escalating When Necessary: If a complaint cannot be resolved internally, the Complaint Officer may refer it to higher authorities or an external body, such as an Ombudsman."

SUMMARY OF THE MERITS OF MICHELE VINCENT, COMPLAINT OFFICER 1. Chronicled RB's status as an INTACT Named Insured. 2. Commissioned the Customer Experience Team to commence a Step-2 Investigation of RB's formal Complaint. 3. Complied with Strata Property Act Section 155(b), which guarantees RB's legal status as a Named Insured of INTACT. 4. In view of Privacy Officer Helen Cameron's discovery that the Alberta Claims Team had fabricated their claims "investigation", sought to replace the wrongful denial with a legitimate claims investigation. 5. Disavowed the Alberta Claims Team's absurd accusation that RB had resided upon an ornamental pigeon roost ledge, with a flock of feral pigeons and their faecal matter. 6. Opposed the filing of any civil action, in her capacity as Complaint Officer. 7. Had no authority, as Complaint Officer, to issue a Claims Experience letter to RB.

In her surreal, Kafkaesque, alter ego rôle as INTACT's OMBUDSMAN, Michele Vincent, who is not licensed as Ombudsman by any regulatory authority, has pugnaciously defied herself and her own directives, such as her Order to the Customer Experience Team to cease and desist the Step-2 investigation of RB's formal Complaint, that Vincent, herself, had commissioned, in her rôle as a licensed Complaint Officer.

Michele Vincent is the quintessential example of an individual, conflicted of interest with and of herself. As Complaint Officer, she was a prosecutress of the Alberta Claim Teams' wrongful activities. However, in her alter ego rôle as Ombudsman, she became a staunch apologist for the Claim Team's illegalities!

For obvious reasons, Vincent intentionally limited her alter ego rôle to Ombudsman, in her filings of duplicate, carbon copy SLAPP actions of 08 and 10 July 2024, against Whistleblower, INTACT Named Insured RB, in retaliation for his accurate exposure of her wrongful Ombudsman activities.

Vincent's false statements to federal and provincial regulatory agencies, include the BC Financial Services Authority, GIO, BBB, FAC, etc.

Vincent, as Ombudsman, has thus far escaped regulatory intervention, since in Canada, Ombuds personnel are not licensed, thus are not held to the same stringent standards as required by licensing authorities, such as the FSRA. In commercial situations, Ombuds personnel are arbitrarily appointed by company administrators. Since there is no requirement of licensure, Ombuds personnel are merely "expected" to be truthful, but not subject to enforceable extra-company, governmental oversight.

SUMMARY OF THE DEMERITS OF MICHELE VINCENT, OMBUDSMAN 1. Not only refused to recognise RB as a First Party, INTACT Named Insured, Ombudsman Vincent misrepresented RB's legal status to the BCFSA, BCPC, OIPC and other governmental agencies. 2. Ordered that the Customer Experience Team cease and desist its Step-2 Investigation, that she, as Complaint Officer had commissioned. 3. Willfully violated Strata Property Act Section 155(b), which guarantees RB's legal status as a first part Named Insured of INTACT. 4. Suppressed Privacy Officer Helen Cameron's discovery that the Alberta Claims Team had fabricated their "investigation". 5. Zealously promoted as factual the Alberta Claims Team's defamatory accusation that RB had resided upon an ornamental pigeon roost ledge, with a large flock of feral pigeons and their faecal matter. 6. Became lead Plaintiff in two (2) duplicate civil actions against RB, in retaliation for his exposure of her criminality. 7. Refuses to issue a Claims Experience letter to RB, on the falsity that INTACT has no records of any such person.

Even after the filing of two (2) duplicative, carbon-copy lawsuits against the Insured, in retaliation for exposing INTACT's wrongful claims practices (as detailed hereinbelow), INTACT's Claims Team of Amanda Myers persist in their material misrepresentations of two (2) separate, essential issues. Offence lawyer Nigel Beckmann asserts his own brand of false allegations, in a futile attempt to cover-up the factual realities of INTACT's illegalities.

MISREPRESENTATION NO 1 INTACT's Claims Team swear that they had jointly conducted and completed an investigation of claim no. 4033526840 (1033684645). However, in rebuttal, INTACT Privacy Officer Helen Cameron conducted her own internal affairs enquiry of the facts, and has confirmed that no investigation has ever been conducted of either claim.

MISREPRESENTATION NO 2 The Claims Team swears that the Insured "RB" had forfeited the entirety of his INTACT coverage, by having physically "possessed", "occupied" and "used" an infected and infectious, faecal matter-laden, ornamental, pigeon roost ledge, which is physically inaccessible from the Insured’s high rise unit. The ledge is devoid of any means of ingress/egress. It is legally, physically and architecturally, common property; not part of any unit of the residential building. The below image is of the pigeon roost ledge and the hazard abatement specialist team member.

MISREPRESENTATION NO 3 It has been more than three (3) years since INTACT designated "RB" as a Named Insured, but despite INTACT's ongoing federal and provincial regulatory and civil legal entanglements, in response to the Insured's Freedom of Information access request, Ombuds[wo]man Michele Vincent lies that INTACT has no records about the Insured.

For more than three (3) years, INTACT has refused to withdraw its wrongful coverage denial (below), based upon INTACT's false, defamatory conclusion that "RB" had resided in the common property, ornamental pigeon roost ledge. "RB's" damages include his inability to procure property- liability insurance coverage. Although INTACT's coverage denial was based upon a fabricated "investigation" and false premise, no insurance company underwriter will approve the application of an Applicant that is deemed to have resided with feral pigeons, as INTACT continues to defamatorily assert. Even if INTACT has not reported the coverage denial to any interinsurance database, it is factual that INTACT denied coverage within the past 5 years. Since "RB" is bound to state all coverage denials on insurance applications, INTACT's wrongful coverage decision continues to deprive "RB" of his right to a truthful and accurate insurance profile! INTACT even ignores its Whistleblower, Privacy Officer Helen Cameron's commitment to the truth, when she confirmed that Claims Manager Amanda Myers had fabricated her claims "investigation".

INTACT Insurance's ongoing, wrongful claims practices constitute the tort of Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress

A mere six (6) days prior to the letter (to the right), INTACT's lawyer Nigel Beckmann had threatened litigation against INTACT's Insured, unless he should remove from this factual, public interest website, citation of Strata Property Act Section 155(b) and INTACT's letter of 30 September 2021, defining him as a Named Insured.

When the Insured refused to succumb to Beckmann's extortionary threats, Beckmann fired off the letter (to the right), wherein he revokes the option to modify this website to conform with INTACT's censorship, now demanding the deactivation of the entire website, irrespective of its content!

Since Beckmann was/is unable to specify any instance of false representation of this website, he no longer insists upon INTACT's censorship of statements that it finds uncomplimentary, however factual.

Beckmann instead, doubles down on his extortionary threat of litigation, unless the Insured should summarily renounce all of his sacred rights to free speech expression, by summary and permanent removal of the entire website from the internet.

THREAT OF SLAPP LITIGATION

On 02 October 2024 the Justice Services Branch of BC Attorney General Niki Sharma responded to the Whistleblower's request for intervention. Although the AG generally refrains from intervention in individual cases, there are exceptions, whenever the issues of individual cases have broad public interest ramifications, such as in this case. Although the AG hasn't yet made any commitment of intervention, she has invited further submissions, assuring that the Court will apply the provisions of the Protection of Public Participation Act, infra.

Sr Legal Counsel MATHIEU GRENIER and Legal Compliance Officer FREDERIC COTNOIR

are aware of this case, currently before the BC Human Rights Tribunal, INTACT had instructed its legal counsel, Nigel Beckmann, to subject an elderly, INTACT insured couple to the ignominy of the loss of their dignity, honour and reputation, by defamatorily accusing them of the criminal act of submission of an insurance claim, under the false pretence of being Insureds of INTACT.

Interestingly, according to his internet advertisements, Lawyer Beckmann's specialty is defamation/abuse of process defence, which legally holds him to an enhanced professional standard, particularly in view of his new role as a defamation "prosecutor" and purveyor of INTACT's wanton display of abuse of the Supreme Court's processes, in order to maliciously prosecute an INTACT Named Insured, as minutely detailed herein.

In aggravation of Mr. Beckmann's initial offence, he threatened and finally did sue the Insured, for the defamatory, false charge that Mr. Beckmann, himself, had fabricated! 

    Particularly, in view of his specialty, Mr. Beckmann is aware of the falsity of his scurrilous, defamatory charges, because INTACT Lawyer Christa Rae Cordick had repudiated Mr. Beckmann's defamatory charges, when she filed a legal pleading, in support of the Claimant; that the claim was NOT submitted under false pretences, as RB was a Named Insured under the INTACT policy!   Despite Lawyer Cordick's repudiation of Mr. Beckmann's fabricated, defamatory accusation, he refuses to retract same, even after his examination of a letter from INTACT, admitting that the Insured was a Named Insured under the policy. Despite his knowledge of the factual truth, Mr. Beckmann nonetheless engaged in the malicious prosecution of the Named Insured, by pursuit of two (2) arrantly conflicted of interest lawsuits against the Named Insured, on behalf of INTACT's rogue elements, Amanda Myers and Michele Vincent!

INTACT's violation of Human Rights began when the INTACT Named Insured (RB) filed an insurance claim in 2021, which was assigned to Claims Manager Amanda Myers. In contravention of legitimate claims practices, without even permitting that the Claimant submit a claims form, or even state the nature of his claim, Myers preemptively, summarily and arbitrarily nullified the entirety of the Insured's coverage, based upon a claims "investigation, which they falsely allege having conducted. To the right (redacted of confidential information) is the letter of 30 September 2021 that Myers sent to the Insured, falsely alleging the completion of a claims "investigation".

Since the coverage nullification had been based upon a spurious, fabricated claims "investigation", RB contacted Myers, with photographs and other evidence that the coverage nullification was based upon Claims Manager Myers having invented her false narrative of having completed a claims investigation, but his pleas were ignored.

Thus, RB filed a complaint, pursuant to INTACT's 3-stage Claims Resolution protocol, which was acknowledged by INTACT's Ombuds[wo]man Michele Vincent. In said email (below) Vincent confirmed that she had assigned the Complaint to the Customer Experience Team (stage-2), for investigation and notification with a "Final Business Decision" letter.

Finally, several months later, the Insured received the notice of the result of INTACT's internal affairs investigation, the coveted Final Business Decision Letter, confirming that Myers had lied; that the allegation of a claims "investigation" was a complete fabrication!

In light of INTACT's confirmation that Myers had wrongfully fabricated her "investigation", the Insured requested of Management's Frédéric Cotnoir and Mathieu Grenier that they assign the claim to one of the numerous, honest Claims Managers, in order to conduct an actual, standard good faith investigation. However, instead of rectifying the basis for the Claims Manager's wrongful coverage denial, INTACT engaged lawyer Nigel Beckmann, who maliciously filed the two (2) separate civil actions against the Insured.

Although the Ombuds[wo]man denies that the Insured's Complaint had ever been assigned to the (Step 2) Customer Relations Team, the below email dispels yet another episode of her litany of lies:

Canada Criminal Code Sections 372(1), 137, 366(1), 380(1) were enacted to prevent this type of wrongful activity, as committed by claims representatives!

However, instead of "remediating" the noxious rogue elements, INTACT's Corporate Managers have elected to allow the wrongful activity to continue, by squandering thousands of dollars in fees for three (3) attorneys, plus administrative costs. The most recent waste of shareholder funding was INTACT's filing of two (2) civil actions against its whistleblower Insured, who had sought to protect INTACT's promise to the public as being "the most trusted Auto and Home insurance brand in Canada".

Indeed, well prior to the creation of the website, the Insured had repeatedly requested (1) that INTACT conduct a legitimate claims investigation, to replace the fabricated claims "investigation" by which (according to Privacy Officer Helen Cameron), Claims personnel Amanda Myers had wrongfully nullified the entirety of the Insured's coverage, and (2) that INTACT issue a Claims Experience letter to the Insured.

The Insured, RB, had always offered to permanently deactivate the website, in exchange for INTACT's agreement to the above two (2) compelling requests.

However, instead of agreeing to simply conduct a standard, good faith claims investigation, INTACT intransigently elected to sacrifice and abuse the judicial system, by the malicious filing of two (2) cloned, duplicate civil actions against the whistleblower Insured, which doubly compound the malicious derogation of the Insured's heretofore stellar credit rating!

As irrefutable evidence of INTACT's, Amanda Myers' and Michele Vincent's vexatious, malicious intent, none of them claims or seeks any monetary or other damages from the Insured, since they inflicted, not sustained any damage or injury. The only relief that these litigants seek is injunctive; i.e. that the Court order the Insured to permanently deactivate this website, the precise relief that the Insured had repeatedly, extrajudicially offered to INTACT for several months prior to the filing of their two (2) retaliatory civil actions. Thus, these vexatious Plaintiffs have committed a prima facie tort of abuse of process.

As to the requisite elements of a cause of action for the tort of abuse of process, in Oei v. Hui the B.C. Court of Appeal clarified that the tort has the three (3) elements, that are in abundance in the instant civil action: (i) a collateral and improper purpose; (ii) an overt act in furtherance of the collateral and improper purpose; and (iii) resulting loss. Stay tuned, as the cases wind their way to trial, at which Amanda Myers and Michele Vincent will be examined, under oath!

In measured response to INTACT's malicious expansion of the scope of its bad faith conduct, the Insured will continue to disclose, in an absolutely transparent, truthful and factual manner, a running account of INTACT's wrongful activities. As detailed herein, INTACT Privacy Officer Helen Cameron conducted a comprehensive, internal affairs inquest, which revealed that Claims personnel Myers had engaged in a wrongful coverage rescission, based upon an "investigation" that they had jointly fabricated!

At a great personal financial and emotional expense, the Insured has filed responsive legal pleadings and a Cross-Complaint against INTACT and its rogue elements. It is urged that INTACT abandon any impulse to undertake punitive measures against the courageous Privacy Officer, whistleblower Helen Cameron!

INTACT's two (2) cloned, duplicate civil actions against its whistleblower Insured constitute yet another instance of INTACT's relentless, disgraceful, malicious crusade to punish its Insured, for the exercise of his Charter rights to freedom of speech and expression.

INTACT Claims Manager Amanda Myers, by way of wrongful, prohbited claims practices, arbitrarily, capriciously and summarily rescinded a Named Insured’s coverage, on the false, fabricated basis that as the result of her claims “investigation”, the Insured had physically "possessed", "occupied" and "used" an infected and infectious, faecal matter-laden, ornamental, pigeon roost ledge (as depicted above) which is physically inaccessible from the Insured’s high rise unit. The ledge is devoid of any means of ingress/egress. It is legally, physically and architecturally, common property; not part of any unit of the residential building.

The below centre image is of the ornamental pigeon roost ledge, that the discredited Amanda Myers had accused the Insured of having inhabited. The images to the left and right are of the health hazard abatement team from specialist Humane Solutions, which, in accordance with BC WorkSafe and OSHA regulations, the remediation crews were required to don protective hazmat suits, special air filtration masks, and safety tie lines, as they gained access to the ledge, by way of a work platform, anchored at the roof of the high rise building. The Named Insured paid $2,541 for the abatement service.

In the letter to the left, Claims Manager Amanda Myers notified the Named Insured of their arbitrary, capricious, summary nullification of the entirety of his INTACT property insurance coverage, per the findings of a joint claims investigation that they alleged to have conducted and completed.

When the Named Insured filed a formal Step-2 Complaint with the Customer Experience Team, Unit Claims Manager Donna McKernon fired off the below email, confirming her opinion of the validity of Myers' coverage nullification, and that the Insured's only option would be litigation.

In the letter to the right, INTACT's conscientious Privacy Officer Helen Cameron announced the results of her internal affairs investigation, exposing Amanda Myers' wrongful nullification of the Named Insured's coverage. According to Privacy Officer Cameron's probe, Myers' averment of having conducted and completed the claims investigation had been an arrant fabrication!

INTACT INSURANCE AND ITS INCREASINGLY COSTLY BAD FAITH CAMPAIGN

In a resounding rebuke of Attorney Nigel Beckmann's position that Strata Property Act Section 155(b) does not exist, the BC Supreme Court recently not only reaffirmed the scope and purview of Section 155(b), it ruled, a fortiori, that even Airbrn overnight guests are insured under a strata corporation’s property insurance policy. [Citation: Strata Plan VR 2213 v. Schappert, 2023 BCSC 2080].

INTACT INSURANCE CO v R.B. (VLC-S-S-244484 and VLC-S-S-244577)

SLAPPs are Strategic Lawsuits Against Public Participation. These malicious lawsuits chill free speech and stifle the whistleblower's prerogative, indeed moral imperative, to duly report wrongful, prohibited conduct. SLAPPs are used to curtail free speech and harass whistleblowers by necessitating that they expend personal financial resources, in defence of meritless and malicious SLAPPs. The two (2) duplicate SLAPP civil actions that INTACT has prosecuted against its own Insured is a stark case in point, and it is urged that INTACT refrain from filing a similar SLAPP against its own Privacy Officer, Helen Cameron, who had reported to the OIPC the findings of her internal affairs investigation, which confirmed that an INTACT Claims Manager and her subordinate had engaged in wrongful, prohibited claims practices! As detailed herein, by the filing of two (2) duplicate, arrantly meritless SLAPP actions against its Insured, INTACT has doubly exploited and doubly abused the judicial system, in its costly crusade to curtail the freedom of speech rights of the Insured whistleblower, who had filed a fact-based, formal complaint against INTACT with the BC Human Rights Tribunal, regarding INTACT's bad faith, discriminatory claims practices. The purpose of INTACT's SLAPP litigation is to exhaust the Insured's personal financial resources, such as to compel him to withdraw his whistleblower complaint. As it is essential public policy to protect whistleblowers' rights to report wrongful activity from the chilling effect of a SLAPP, the province of British Columbia has enacted legislation that provides a process for courts to identify a claim as a SLAPP and summarily dismiss it.

Listen to a song about INTACT's verbotene business practices, of filing duplicate, clone SLAPP actions against a whistleblower who had exposed wrongful activities, on the part of certain rogue claims personnel

When Plaintiff, Claims Manager Amanda Myers testifies at trial, she will be tasked to justify her wrongful claims "investigation", as well as other discrepant claims practices!

The CBC's "Go Public" staff has expressed an interest in this extraordinary story. However, the Insured has refrained from presenting the details to the CBC, in the naïve expectation that while INTACT's lawyer, Nigel Beckmann, considers compliance with Court Rule 7-1(1), that he recommend to his Client that it timely cease its cover-up of wrongful activities.

WITHOUT PREJUDICE/RESERVATION OF RIGHTS

Exemplary of INTACT's aversion to the truth and the facts, and commitment to extraorindarily egregious bad faith, Ombudsman Michele Vincent falsely denies that this matter had been assigned to the 2nd step Customer Experience Team, in response to the Named Insured's formal Complaint. In yet another measure of Vincent's malicious approach, she refuses to provide the Insured with a common insurance industry-wide Claims Experience letter, as he had requested!

Another instance of Ombuds[wo]man Vincent's contempt for the facts, she refuses to issue a Claims Experience letter (request to the right), pretending, after almost three (3) years of INTACT's exploitation and abuse of the Insured, provincial and federal insurance regulators, OIPC, as well as the Courts, that INTACT has no records of the Named Insured!

As indicated by the letter to the left, and the below legal pleading, INTACT had confirmed that RB was a Named Insured of the policy. However, as indicated by his letter to the right, INTACT Lawyer Nigel Beckmann contradicted INTACT's confirmations of RB's status, by fabrication of a false charge, defamatorily and falsely accusing RB of submission of the insurance claim under the false pretence of being an insured (letter to the right). In aggravation of the initial offence, Beckmann pugnaciously committed the tort of abuse of process, by filing two (2) duplicate civil actions against RB, for the exposure of Beckmann's wrongdoings, as well as the wrongful activities of his clients.

Curiously, Lawyer Beckmann recently filed a legal pleading, by which he contradicts his own Clients, who admit that RB is a Named Insured. If Mr. Beckmann has access to an internet connexion, then it is respectfully requested that he press the below link to Strata Property Act Section 155(b).

In a bizarre twist to this cause celebre case, on 13 August 2024, Attorney Beckmann filed a legal pleading, wherein he finally admitted that Claims Manager Myers had invented her false narrative of having completed a claims investigation, but Mr. Beckmann blames the Insured for being so naïve as to believe that an investigation had been conducted, since no investigator had ever come to the pigeon roost ledge to inspect, supra!
