Sadly, yes: Canada is a post-legal society.

**CONFIDENTIAL – Do Not Distribute**

Situation – The AGM in Calgary provides P.S. Knight the strongest opportunity to date to make his case publicly against CSA. He will no doubt work hard to find new content to present and to provoke CSA into a response that he can use to further his case. We also became aware of [redact], [a] TC Member who is linked with Mr. Knight and is in discussions with CSA. He is currently not registered, but might show up and pose pointed questions during AGM. We fully expect a number of potential disturbances, media inquiries and announcements from Knight to coincide with the AGM, and are prepared to manage them as outlined below.”

Ash Sahi was once the CEO of the Canadian Standards Association (CSA), until we got him fired. Sahi has done nothing since his forcible reacquaintance with the job market in 2015. Nobody has hired him.

Well, in February of this year Ash Sahi became an author.

He’s written a business management book, teaching and guiding all of his readers on how to “become a great leader and create a winning organization.”

You’ll want to take notes.

The law is whatever we say it is. It’s Canada, after all;

In March, we suffered the criminal contempt trial at the heavy hand of Justice Pallotta.

In August, she Ruled in favour of her Civil Service colleagues.

Last week, the honourable Madam Justice issued her sentence against me. It’s a wild ride.

From her Ruling; “Mr. Knight and PS Knight Co” had already been found “guilty on three counts of contempt of court for breaching the [Manson’s Law] terms of judgement.” That is, we’d been found guilty by her already.

As readers well know, the only way Pallotta could find us guilty is by ignoring the Stay Agreement which specifically authorized the actions that she Ruled were unauthorized.

To furnish plausible basis for Ruling in favour of her colleagues, Pallotta chose to strike the evidences we relied upon for defence. She struck PS Knight Americas’ US copyright on the Code for instance, even though it’s fully registered and authorizes the actions she Ruled were unauthorized. So, no copyright in evidence means there’s no defence against her colleagues’ accusations that we published without copyright. She also struck our copyright assignment documentation, so there’d be no record of our lawful ownership of the Code. Then she disallowed evidence of CSA’s own legal team in breach of Manson’s Law. Then she ignored the fact that her own colleague on the bench, Justice Barnes, had already Ruled that we hadn’t breached the Agreement at all.

A bit of a railroading, then.

The Canadian Standards Association (“CSA / Civil Service”) arranged quite a barrage for us this summer. It’s been full, folks.

In the last two weeks, the Civil Service sent threat letters to some of our vendors, including our web providers. The letters claimed that PS Knight Americas had been found guilty of copyright violation and that we had been enjoined by Court from operating the psknight.com website.

Regular readers know these claims to be false. In fact, with regard to CSA’s latest attempted injunction, the Hearing hasn’t been heard yet -it hasn’t even been scheduled yet! But hosting companies don’t know that and CSA didn’t disclose it.

Fuhrer justice.

Kangaroo Ruling:

Christine Pallotta will soon be famous. She was the Judge in our infamous criminal contempt trial in March. Remember; “The glaring -people! The glaring!”

Well, Justice Pallotta has now delivered her verdict. Are we guilty or innocent?

Guilty, she wrote, on all charges.

Given her conduct during the trial, the verdict shouldn’t be a shocker. After all, she was judging between us and her Civil Service friends and colleagues.

Beyond the shattering personal tragedy for the families involved, there was so much that was odd about the fire. It just didn’t add up. How could a simple house fire in a 3-bedroom building spread so rapidly that the whole structure was engulfed before either adult could get out, leaving zero time to rescue their children? And there was an explosion? What’s normally found in a home that makes a big enough bang to rip a roof off?

See? Odd.

And why is this odd house fire relevant on RestoreCSA?

Well, we heard about it through a whistleblower.

PS Knight Publishes Two New Codes

Today, we published the Oil and Gas Pipeline Systems Code. And we also published the previous edition of that Code, for those in need of legacy versions. And we also published the Propane Storage and Handling Code for 2015. And we’re quite pleased about all this.

Each of these codes have been passed into law in Alberta. Thanks to the Canadian Standards Association (“CSA” / the Civil Service), PS Knight was recently compelled to relocate to the US. In the United States, the Supreme Court has already Ruled that public laws cannot be privately owned.

So, engineers and other professionals needing to access these laws don’t have to pay CSA’s sky-high prices anymore.

PS Knight’s prices are less than half of CSA’s prices.

A whistleblower wrote us late last year to report that “CSA and ANSI approved [safety] glasses are consistently failing their tests.” That is, what the Canadian Standards Association (CSA) had approved as 100% UV blocking glasses weren’t blocking UV at all.
 
We wrote about this in November, inviting the public to test their CSA approved glasses. We gave some rudimentary instructions on how to test and linked to some more substantive guidance. We also promised to report whatever results we received early in 2021.
 
Well folks, this is the report.

We would like to invite our readership to help us test CSA’s certified safety glasses.

Endgame.

Knight’s Code is Back!

That’s right folks, our release of the 2018 – 2021 Canadian Electrical Code, which the Court Ruled against, is happily available once again.
 
And it’s still $60. And CSA’s version is still $180. There’s still that whopping price gap.
 
You’ll recall that the infamous Manson’s Law Ruling was intended to prevent any pesky competition to the Civil Service’ overpriced offerings. You’ll recall that the Federal Court of Appeals upheld Manson’s Law, and the Supreme Court declined to rescind it.
 
Right now, Canadian laws are privately owned by whomever drafted them.
 
That’s Manson’s Law. That Ruling is absurd. But it binds, like all Rulings, on all affected entities throughout the jurisdiction of the Federal Court.
 
So how can we re-release Knight’s Code now?

I may just order a copy out of principle.

Robert Chan was an engineer and, as it happens, a rather good one.

According to his legal filings, at CSA Chan’s job “was to inspect and test clients’ products to ensure they met relevant safety standards requirements.” Specifically, “his job was to make sure the Equipment Under Test (EUT) met relevant standards requirement for electrical, mechanical, and fire safety.”
 
Chan “took great pride in his work and was dedicated to his job. He followed CSA and manufacturer’s guidelines closely and refused to certify products not properly vetted.”
 
Ah, might be a problem brewing. And here it comes…

Restore CSA;

“Plaintiffs further allege the following: Enerco and CSA [Canadian Standards Association] conspired to market defective vent-free heaters to American families, knowing that the units posed a threat of serious harm to person and property, without adequately warning consumers of the hazard.”

On March 27, 2019, we filed a request for investigation with the Association of Professional Engineers of Alberta (APEGA). Specifically, we had by then amassed quite a mound of evidence that a number of APEGA members were paying money to the Canadian Standards Association (CSA) in trade for influence over domestic legislation.

The Canadian Standards Association (CSA) was founded in 1917, so naturally they’ve been celebrating their 100th anniversary throughout 2019.

I was updating our records of the Lobbying Registry’s forgotten lore last week, rummaging through records, and something just didn’t seem right. The entries seemed boring. True, all these entries seem boring, but these somehow more so. They seemed familiar. Ah, said I, it’s nothing really, just the fancies born of memories of so much time online, only this and nothing more.
 
Ah, distinctly I remember, t’was in the bleak December… of 2014 actually, when we’d found the first problems within CSA’s Lobbying Registration.
 
I was seeing last week some of the same things I’d seen in 2014. It didn’t seem at all like fancies; more like facts. So I ran an experiment.

It makes me wonder how common this is in other contentious cases: birds of a feather.

Last year, the Canadian Standards Association (CSA) hired a new lawyer. More accurately, last year they used even more of your tax dollars to hire yet another lawyer..
