Theatre of the Absurder.

The Law Society of Ontario and the Law Society Tribunal of Ontario seem absolutely incapable of bringing an end to the abuses of suspended lawyer Glenn Bogue. In the latest installation on 4 June 2020 the Law Society Tribunal Appeal Panel says that during a teleconference hearing on 8 April 2020, Bogue was disrespectful and threatened the Tribunal member.

I would guesstimate that this circus has cost Law Society of Ontario members and Ontario citizens at least $500,000 by this point.

Law Society of Ontario v. Bogue, 2020 ONLSTA 11 (CanLII)

[7] He raised his voice continually, refused to let anyone else speak, and spoke over them whenever they tried. He addressed the participants in a disrespectful manner and issued threats. For example, he advised me that I was trespassing at great peril, and that I should either consent to his requested transverse of this matter to an Indigenous tribunal, or I would personally become a defendant at the International Court of Justice in The Hague and that I would be charged accordingly.

[8] I dismissed the Lawyer’s motions on the basis that his conduct constituted an abuse of process, without prejudice to his ability to bring his motions again upon filing the required materials. I indicated that reasons would follow.

[9] After the teleconference, the Lawyer sent me his “Decision of KIT” where he stated that I demonstrated bias, that I had no jurisdiction, that I interrupted him, improperly called him “Sir,” and that the entire hearing was an attempt at cultural genocide.

Theatre of the Absurd.

That’s the only way to describe the unprofessional conduct proceedings by the Law Society of Ontario (LSO) against paranoid conspiracy theorist (and sometime lawyer) Glenn Bogue.

I previously wrote about portions of the Bogue Law Society Tribunal hearings that I attended on 8/9 January 2019 here. That was bad enough, but the more I learn about the case the more it looks like it has just spiralled out of control to the detriment of Bogue, the Law Society Tribunal, and the LSO and all our members and citizens who are paying for this.

Bogue is the subject of unprofessional conduct hearings because he brings appeals in the wrong courts, gets the law wrong, advances baseless Organized Pseudolegal Commercial Arguments (OPCA), alleges conspiracies between Justin Trudeau/the Queen/the Pope and files lawsuits against them for $3 quadrillion dollars, etc., etc.

But it gets worse – I note the following:
1. At the opening of the Tribunal hearing on 8 January 2019 before I arrived, Bogue attempted to have counsel for the LSO removed because he’d been convicted of “treason” by an imaginary court, called the Ottawa Police to try and stop the hearing (they actually attended), and then had his client “Grand Chief Buffalo Eagle” (real name William Allan Baldwin) come forward and try to order the Tribunal Chair to leave “because she was trespassing on unceded territory.” Seriously. (paragraphs 38-40)

2. Despite being suspended from the practice of law, Bogue is continuing to practice law hiding behind his fake name “Spirit Warrior” as recently as a hearing before the Ontario Superior Court of Justice held 3 April 2019 in Kingston where he represented his client William Baldwin (aka “Grand Chief Buffalo Eagle”) – that case is here.

3. It takes 60 paragraphs of a Tribunal ruling (paras 7-67) just to describe all the procedural steps that have been taken so far in what I believe are Bogue’s efforts to (wildly successfully) jam up the process and delay being disbarred. The cost to LSO members and citizens of Ontario for all of this is difficult to imagine.

4. Bogue claims to be a late-in-life “non-status Métis” and wears a Métis sash based on his membership in the “Kinakwii Nation”, an online “rent-an-Indigenous-identity” scam run by William Baldwin/Grand Chief Buffalo Eagle. I believe this to be a profoundly repugnant case of cultural appropriation and disgraceful conduct for Bogue as a lawyer in its own right. It’s informative that the hearing at paragraph 2 above was for criminal charges against William Baldwin including 3x fraud over $5,000, fake Indian status identity document charges, and failure to appear in court (paragraphs 9-10).

It’s like Glenn Bogue read Franz Kafka’s ‘The Trial’, and decided to use it as a handbook to attack the LSO and Law Society Tribunal. To date, both seem completely unable to bring a timely halt to Bogue’s abusive litigation practices that he’s now applying to them as he did in his brief supernova litigation work.

I note in closing that perhaps the only hope is that the LSO and Tribunal read and apply the recent brilliant decision of Associate Chief Justice Rooke of the Alberta Court of Queen’s Bench (Unrau v National Dental Examining Board) that thoroughly examines abusive litigants and provides a road map on how to deal with them. As with ACJ Rooke’s Meads v Meads decision that has become the leading case in dealing with Organized Pseudolegal Commercial Argument litigants, the Unrau decision offers hope and a possible lifeline to the LSO and Tribunal – ACJ Rooke did the heavy lifting and indicates the best time to address abusive litigation conduct is as soon as it begins to appear.

That time has long past in the Glenn Bogue saga, but better late than never.

Glenn Bogue – Law Society Tribunal hearing

My theatre degree prepared me for some things related to practicing law including the ability to employ the ‘willing suspension of disbelief’ on occasion and that helped a lot when I attended the recent Law Society Tribunal hearings into Glenn Bogue on 7/8 January 2019 in Ottawa.

Glenn Bogue is a suspended member of the Law Society of Ontario and the Law Society Tribunal hearings were meant to deal with two motions, one of which was a ‘new’ challenge by Bogue to the jurisdiction of the Tribunal and the other was a motion by Bogue to vary or rescind the interim suspension order against him.

Of note, although Bogue was called to the Bar in 1985, he indicates he ran a construction business in Pennsylvania for roughly 30-years and did not work as a lawyer. Bogue only began practicing law in Ontario in 2015 with the first complaint of unprofessional conduct received on 18 March 2016 and four more received by 17 February 2017. Bogue was suspended in April of 2017.

On 15 September 2017, the Law Society brought an application to have the Law Society Tribunal determine if Bogue was disabled from practicing law by virtue of incapacity under sections 37 and 38 of the Law Society Act. Those provisions permit the Tribunal to order a medical/psychiatric examination to determine capacity to practice. On 6 July 2018, the Tribunal ordered Bogue to attend an evaluation with a psychiatrist.

After a roundabout route, this ultimately resulted in a psychiatric evaluation report that was completed on 29 November 2018 and filed with the Tribunal by the Law Society on 4 December 2018.

The report is roughly 31-pages, but the crux of it is a diagnosis by the psychiatrist that Glenn Bogue “suffers from a delusional disorder with grandiose and persecutory subtypes” and doubts about whether treatment would be accepted or effective. Given Bogue’s indication that he will continue to act in the same manner as a lawyer that gave rise to the unprofessional conduct allegations, the psychiatrist concludes that “I think it is reasonable to posit that Mr. Bogue may thus find himself in conflict with the courts or the Law Society Act.”

Both motions by Bogue were dismissed by the Tribunal in decisions on Motion 1 and Motion 2. The broader proceedings around Bogue are continuing, but below are (very) rough notes taken from the hearings. Caveat that there may be errors, represent only portions of the hearings over two days, and are not a transcript.

With regard to the claim by Glenn Bogue to be “non-status Métis” and a member of the “Kinakwii Sovereign Nation”, I note that there has been previous study of the legitimacy or non-legitimacy of the Kinakwii and that their website indicates that for the low-low price of $300 per year, anyone can become a member of their “private, sovereign, Indigenous nation.”

In closing, I would like to personally thank all those whose professional lives have brought them into contact with this case and wish them the continued patience of Job.
