Who is this Dr. Louis Hugo Francescutti?

Mr. Asshole Himself

Dr. Louis Hugo Francescutti

I got my first impression of Dr. Francescutti from an article in the Vancouver Sun in 2011 when he was President of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons.

http://blogs.vancouversun.com/2011/02/01/doctors-too-self-interested-to-put-patients-first-royal-

I was extremely impressed by his vision and grateful that he was trying to impress his understanding on the medical community.

Mistake #1- I Was Impressed!

When I saw his acceptance speech outlining his priorities as the new President of the Canadian Medical Association in 2013. I was disappointed he made no mention of the blockade of signatures and the Medical Marijuana problem and a little disappointed that his message to the Association membership concerned only the image of a Physician and how to restore it. Unfortunately it was self-image of a Physician as seen by the profession.

Mistake #2- I Let That Slide By!

There was no recognition in his speech that the public image of the Association was that of a bunch of stubborn bastards refusing to accept the reality of marijuana benefits. Over the life of the MMAR the CMA has been nothing but a constant source of criticism and objections to any suggestion of benefits and their role in the Program. They effectively killed the Program with repetition of a platform of lies and distortions that was formulated at the inception of the Program.

There were 4 main components to that platform

1.    no acceptable scientific evidence of any medical benefit.

2.    The horrible unknown risks of its long term use as a medication

3.    being asked to “prescribe” a Gateway drug leading to addiction

4.    denial of 5000 years testimonial evidence of benefits

Nevertheless I attempted to contact him three times to attempt to bridge the gap between patients and doctors and even sent him a reasonable solution with a plan for a Risk Research program between Physicians and Patients involving the sharing of information and guidance from each side see:

http://goan-smee.blogspot.ca/2014/04/the-risk-research-assessment-program.html

I ran through my proposal again and it still could work: all it needs is for Francescutti to get off his high horse and listen to reason.

He Opened My Eyes With His Mouth

Then I ran across his interview by the Huffington Post and I was stunned by his presentation and his complete ignorance or understanding of the benefits of marijuana. This was a complete reversal of the man I thought he was and I began to research him to find out just what was going on. What I found out is not of my liking nor do I think of yours.

So. Who is He?

He’s a complete mystery to me. All the material regarding him that I researched had nothing but praise for his capacity as an expert beyond belief in a range of subjects that is amazing. I looked at his education and career history and nowhere did he spend enough time training in any field to absorb the amount of knowledge attributed to him. WTF? How did he get that reputation s I read it completely and was surprised to find that it is his personal website by finding his personal invitations to: “e-mail me”: lou@drlou.ca, “contact my office”:
 780-492-5775 and to participate in an “audience survey” (link) and let me know what you thought of my presentation!

The website exposes a significant expenditure for a competent staff because it is obviously constructed by professional web experts and written by professional propagandists and neither comes cheap!

Combine that with his extensive travel costs and the amount is not in a General Practitioners budget? Where’s he get it?

Turns out he’s a millionaire! How do I know that? From his website and how his staff describes how he lives:

“Lou spends every spare minute with his family.  An amateur stone mason and timber framer, Lou's acreage, home to many interesting projects, is enough to keep any person busy full-time, but he manages.  An authentic Italian pizza oven, a get-away log cabin, a hockey rink, a pond, a maze of trails, and an authentic jail house, Lou's personal life is as interesting and intriguing as his professional endeavors.”

That Lou has enough time at home to maintain a palace like that: between his world travels, lectures, teaching and playing doctor at two Edmonton locations: is pure bullshit.

So is the rest of his website; It’s a non-stop stream of 4 pages of nothing but exaggeration of his excellence at everything, with carefully selected use of flowery language that presents him as a model to follow.

I am not going to say more about the site but will let you make your own judgement of its portrayal of the man. To save you that time, the items in the following list are simply repeated phrases and attributes as used to describe him: Forgive the weird indenting, I can’t get rid of it??

1.    President of the Canadian Medical Association,

2.    Past-President of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada,

3.    one of Canada's leading medical visionaries

4.    an emergency room physician,

5.    an educator,

6.    program developer

7.    speaks to the masses, connecting with individuals

8.    regarded internationally for his corporate mentorship sessions and safety culture seminars

9.    visionary, educator, speaker, and doctor

10.                       Emergency Medical Technician in Canada's Arctic,

11.                       MD and PhD at the University of Alberta.

12.                       founded the Injury Awareness and Prevention Centre

13.                       Johns Hopkins University School of Public Health in Baltimore, Master of Public Health degree and a Preventive Medicine Residency

14.                       Professor in the School of Public Health

15.                       Adjunct in the Department of Emergency Medicine of the Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry at the University of Alberta,

16.                       Works as an emergency physician in the Emergency Departments of the Royal Alexandra Hospital and the Northeast Community Health Centre in Edmonton.

17.                       Alberta Coalition for Cellphone-Free Driving, for example, which Lou founded in 2005

18.                       promotes safety culture and corporate mentorship

19.                       delivering his provocative and compelling message to everyone from telephone and power workers to oilfield laborers and engineering professionals

20.                       speaking to small and large groups of individuals, new and mature organizations and corporations, students, and government agencies--not to mention international authorities and organizations.

21.                       Offering a bold and ultra-real-world perspective on topics such as safety culture, substance abuse, injury, injury prevention, fatigue, mental illness, communications and health promotion,

22.                       Everyone benefits from hearing Lou's message

23.                       His lectures are a recurring event at many educational institutions, including Grant MacEwan Community College in Edmonton,

24.                       Dr. Francescutti is internationally regarded as a medical expert and visionary. 

25.                       His years of mentorship and inspirational speaking put him in high demand for international consulting, mentorship, and speaking engagements  from Norway to New Zealand, and Sweden to the United States,

26.                       Dr. Francescutti is one of Canada's most revered medical figures, being acknowledged around the world for his unique approach to injury control and prevention.

One other thing that gives me doubts about Dr. Francescutti is the fact that for all his years in training and in academia he has not published one paper worthy enough to declare in the sites paean of his accomplishments. There is no paper trail showing that he actually learned anything worth sharing to his fellows in academia. The other big question is “Where did all that money to create a Country estate worthy of Royalty come from?”. You don’t earn it from the practice of Medicine as a Professor on tenure with part time employment as an Emergency Room doctor in an Edmonton hospital. I conclude it had to come from his talent as a bullshit artist with speaker fees and a genius for self promotion almost as good as Donald Trump.

To bring this indictment to an end I have concluded that at this time he is Medical Marijuana’s chief enemy and a traitor to his Oath to Do No Harm. I have no idea how to counter his influence but we can all take comfort that he has a limited time on his seat as leader of the “Parliament of Medicine” as he describes the Association. He leads it with the same arrogance and lies as Harper in his imitation of dictatorial governance in Ottawa. His term as President is only two years and over half of that is already history. All of us can look forward to his disappearance in 2015 along with Harper. It can’t come soon enough.

In the interim, since the good Doctor ha requested feedback, his request should be granted! I suggest that if anyone disagrees with his asshole position on the medicinal benefits of marijuana they tell him so by clicking on the e-mail link he thoughtfully provided, lou@drlou.ca, participate in his “audience survey” and let him know what you thought of his presentation!”

That is how I sum up Dr. Louis Hugo Francescutti and my conclusion: My labelling him an “Asshole” is perfectly justified:

Arrogance + Ignorance + Bullshit = Asshole

Proof Positive!

CANADIAN JUSTICE IS JUNK- PART II

THE CANADIAN CONSTABULARY

THE BASTARDS AT FAULT

OR

COPS

THE

Corps Of Prejudiced Sadists

More and more, every day, control of the Law and Order governing the people of Canada is increasingly being usurped by the collective Canadian Police Forces. The average cop has become a personal threat to, and someone to be feared by every individual he confronts. No longer does he Serve and Protect the public: he now serves his masters and Protects his fellow Cops.

The Cop in your face wasn’t born that way: He was born smart; he was probably a good guy until he absorbed the mental and physical brainwashing of his training. He looks decent enough even now. What could have ground and molded him into this hostile enemy at the gate? Who was he and what turned the soul sour? That is a long story but we can we can place the fault directly on the training and regimen of:

THE CANADIAN CONSTABULARY

The Cop Mold Process

Believe it or not, once upon a time all the Cops who are stamping on our civil and legal rights were the good guys of their generation when it came to the NICE Index! They are part of the top 2% of applicants who manage to pass the entrance exam and be accepted into the Force

In order to become a cop an applicant has to pass an entrance examination that is more or less the equivalent of an assessment by three Psychological Tests

1.    California Personality Inventory (CPI),

2.    The Sixteen Personality Factor Questionnaire Scales (16P), and

3.    The Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI)

When used to assess police candidates, analysts developed a

"Typical Cop" profile group with group members found to be:

1.    self-disciplined,

2.    socially bold,

3.    extroverted,

4.    emotionally tough, and

5.    Low in experienced anxiety.

They also ranked significantly higher on scales of:

6.    "Poise and self-assurance,

7.    achievement potential,

8.    intellectual efficiency,

9.    social insight, and

10.                       To be more likely to seek social contact than the control group.”

By any standards this pool of young recruits is an ideal base for any training program and is the cream of the crop. Instead of a positive blossoming to butter the sour cream churned turns rotten. There’s obviously something wrong with the churn: what’s wrong with it?

Constabulary, as I use it, is an organizational structure designed to enforce order in the ranks of a semi-military force. It was developed by the British Army around the time of the Crimean war in the Mid-1800’s and was returned to Britain and created the structure of the Metropolitan Police Force under Sir Robert Peel. Law enforcement officers work in a quasi-military, structured institution. There are mental health concerns associated with working within a "quasi-military structure" and other mental health concerns of working in an "institution."

Military organizations require the sacrifice of the individual for the good of society. The "individual" is not a consideration; the "goal" of the group is paramount. In a military organization, the focus is on punishing the individual if he is not up to standards. It is a de-humanizing process to recognize that you are only valued as a part of a machine.

The “institution' takes the same attitude, only a step further. In an institution, you are locked in a set process and the process is more important many times than, not only the individual, but also the goal. When an officer does a remarkable job of police work, perhaps even saves a life, he can still be reprimanded if he doesn't file the proper paperwork. The paperwork describing an action in many cases is more important to the institution than the action itself. Both the quasi-military nature of police work and the functioning within an institution combine for a mental health situation that is quite undesirable and very stressful. The training academy of the Police Force he is joining is the churn.

This is the recruit’s first introduction to a Constabulary: a Constabulary is a quasi-military, structured institution. Military organizations require the sacrifice of the individual for the good of society. The "individual" is not a consideration; the "goal" of the group is paramount.

In an institution conforming to procedures is paramount and the paperwork describing an action in many cases is more important to the institution than the action itself. No gray areas. The law enforcement officer works in a fact-based world with everything compared to written law. Right and wrong is determined by a standard. They have a set way of going about gathering the proper evidence for the law and can justify their actions because they represent the "good and right”

The first step in this character transformation process is to isolate the individual from all contact with outside society and force him to adjust to his brother police officers for all social contact. ) They are isolated. The wearing of a badge, uniform and gun makes a law officer separate from society. The wearing of a uniform will tend to make any person de-humanize people who are without a uniform. Just wearing a badge or a gun can cause people to act more aggressively.  You are encouraged to feel like you’re a member of an elite group: the top 2%.This is the beginning of inclusion as part of the Blue Brotherhood and police training especially is designed to strip the individual's previous identity and "make" a police officer.

People deal with them differently and treat them differently, even when they are not working. The police uniform, badge and gun are universal symbols of power and authority. When the individual puts on the uniform, he assumes the authority that goes with it. He expects and commands obedience and respect from the public. Donning the uniform and wielding the power of the job contribute to what is known as the "police personality" and the Us versus Them problems that develop from this intensive brainwashing.

After isolation in training, the recruit is further alienated from his prior social circle by being required to work rotating shifts and a posting away from home. Shift work is not normal. The "rotating shift" schedule is very taxing on an officer's life. Our bodies are adjusted on what is called "circadian schedules" which is a repetitive daily cycle. Our bodies like to have a regular eating time, sleeping time, waking time, etc. 

An officer doing shift work never gets a chance to stay on a schedule. This upsets his physical and mental balance in life. The changing work schedule also upsets the routine patterns that are needed in healthy marriage and family development. Strong marital and family development is based on rituals, like dinners together, "inside jokes," repeated activities, etc. The rotating shift worker has less chance to develop these rituals and his relationships suffer. This predisposes the officer's family to potential problems ranging from divorces, to children acting-out. 

The recruit’s new "at work" world is very negative. He sees the bad part of society and even the stress is different. Cops have a different kind of stress in their jobs, called "burst stress". At any time in the course of a shift there can be a call with an indication of violence. The officer gets an adrenalin rush with the perception of danger and there is the inevitable “fight or flight” reaction. There may be no danger but that knowledge follows the mental and physical arousal of the reaction. Cops have a job that requires extreme restraint under highly emotional circumstances and they require special training to adjust to a completely different world with a whole new set of survival tools.

Almost all cops age too quickly, see too much pain and suffering, lose trust in almost everyone (because EVERYONE lies to the police), and lose their social grounding. In addition to the work there is the pressure to do it right and conform to the institutional rules fof documentation in addition to learning Chapter and verse of a bewildering variety of laws to be enforced. This happens in the first several years of employment and is accompanied by a progressive disillusionment with society that has to be replaced with a new social circle with members who can be trusted. 

The Constabulary has this all under control with the assignment of the recruit to a more senior member as a partner on patrol. This is his mentor in survival: both on the job and off but most importantly how to conform to the completely new society he has been thrust into without his consent. He is now a member of the Blue Brotherhood and he now learns the rules and regulations that will determine his long term survival in a hostile environment like the Constabulary he joined.

Within the course of the first two years after his training and indoctrination is complete, the recruit has had enough experience with both Constabulary and the members of the Brotherhood to make a final judgement of his choice of a career as a Law Officer.

To remain is to abandon all his previous life and connection to Canadian Society and join his new found officer friends in a society that will protect him and provide guidance for a lifetime career. It is a leap into the “Us” and “Them” mentality and with the support of the Brotherhood there is no deterrent for any violation of the law that he might perform in the course of his duties: Job security above all else.

The Police Officer knocking on your door right now has made the decision to remain a Police Officer and join his new Society- the Blue Brotherhood. As a career decision that is probably a wise choice but by doing so he swears an oath to obey the rules of the Society in exchange for his comrades’ support if he makes a mistake in the course of his duties, or even in his off hours. Unfortunately the rules of the Brotherhood have expanded to cover not only the Arbitrary Discipline rendered by the Constabulary they work for, but have been perverted to avoid any responsibility for ignoring and violating the accepted laws of Canadian Society.

That is the subject of my next post in this series:

CANADIAN JUSTICE IS JUNK- PART 1

CANADIAN JUSTICE IS JUNK

HERE IS WHY!

Introduction: This is the first in a series of posts regarding the problems that exist within the Canadian Justice System. This first one deals with the source of the problem and the following posts will deal with other contributing factors that create the impulse for our Policing to fall into a Fascist mode

Over the course of the last decade on an ever increasing basis the Canadian Public has been witness to the deterioration of the Justice system into one where secrecy, lies, ignorance, obstinacy and submission are the controlling forces governing the conduct of the National Police Forces or Canadian Constabulary, The relationship between Police Officers and the Public has deteriorated to the point of mutual hostility and mistrust and contaminates our whole society.

Up until about thirty years ago if a Police Officer knocked on a citizen’s door in midmorning and asked if he could ask some questions he would be invited in, offered a coffee and his questions answered without reservation. There would be no suspicion of any ulterior motive; he was a friend who could be trusted.

THEN

In the same circumstances today a wise citizen will refuse the Officer entry to the residence unless he has a warrant and will refuse to answer any questions until in the presence of a judge, If any Cop is granted entry to the residence; anything he sees, or is told, is recorded as evidence that can be used to prosecute and convict you but none of that evidence can be used to defend yourself.

NOW

Watching this change in the relationship over the years I have tried to find the source of the disaffection and why the split occurred, but it is only in the past few months that I feel I have traced the origin back to a mistake made by Lyin” Brian Mulroney in 1985. In the interest of covering his own dirty tracks he created the Access to Information Act R.S.C., 1985, c. A-1 that specifically was intended to “extend the present laws of Canada that provide access to information under the control of the Government of Canada.

Passage of the Act was automatic considering Brian had the largest Majority Government in Canadian history. In his attempt to gain respectability and support, he accepted and protected the Canadian Constabulary’s role of secrecy with regard to investigations in progress concerning virtually all criminal activity.

Brian wasn’t smart enough to realize that he was dealing with a Constabulary, a structure created by the British military to maintain discipline in the ranks; and who opposed any reduction their control. He also missed the fact that the rank and file within the Constabulary had bonded together into what has been called the “Blue Brotherhood”. This opposing group was created out of necessity to resist the arbitrary disciplinary nature of the Constabulary. They were effective in influencing the list of exemptions for investigations that effectively grants all Police officers who commit a crime complete immunity from prosecution.

The moral of the story is that whenever a complaint is lodged against a police officer for a violation of any law it automatically initiates an investigation and details are not open to scrutiny.

At this point in Canadian history we are in a period where the police can commit crime with impunity because the Act prevents all information about the progress and nature of the investigation from being revealed.

As if this level of protection wasn’t enough there has been a corruption of the investigatory procedures to restrict the investigation to another Constabulary detachment. In short only Cops investigate crimes by other Cops. That is the topic of my next post regarding the worst advice given to Lyin’ Brian.by:

about the matter

and to this

I attached a copy of: my complaint to

The Honourable John Gerretsen

Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Ontario

and

to this I attached a copy of:

My Cover Letter and My complaint to

The Independent Police Review Director of Ontario.

I have no idea how this Director got involved here:

These turkeys horned right into the middle of my problem dealing with a

Federal Criminal Code Violation!

Where the hell a group of Ontario does based provincially appointed

political hacks with a pro-cop bias gets the authority to interfere

with my charging a bunch of Cops with a Federal Crime?

I decided to find out.

If you don’t ask you don’t get!

This post is simply a copy of those e-mails and the Cover Letter. I did not include the text of my complaint to the Director because I have previously established the grounds for the charge of Criminal Negligence with my post at the bottom of this page

A Question Regarding Criminal Code Enforcement

The Honourable Robert Douglas Nicholson
Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Canada
284 Wellington Street
Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0H8
CC: Justin Trudeau- Liberal Party of Canada: Thomas Mulcair- New Democratic Party: Elizabeth May- Green Party of Canada: Alain Prefontaine - Director General and Senior General Counsel

Dear Minister:

Attached please find a copy of my Complaint to the Office of the Independent Police Review Director of Ontario and a copy of my Complaint to the Ontario Minster of Justice. They regardsa serious violation of Criminal Code Section 219 – Criminal Negligence by the Ontario Provincial Police on January 26, 2012. I am advised this is the only route by which I can get an investigation of what I assumed to be a Federal Crime is to ask a Provincially appointed Review Director who will have complete control over any investigation of Criminal Wrongdoing by Ontario Police Forces and his decision is final.

They advise me that:

1. “The OIPRD is responsible for recording and classifying all public complaints. We are also responsible for deciding who will investigate the complaint. Your complaint may be investigated by: The OIPRD, The same police service the complaint is about, or another police service.”

2.      If, during the course of the investigation, the Director discovers evidence that an officer may have committed a crime, the matter will be referred to the police for further investigation.

3.      The OIPRD does not conduct criminal investigations.

4. The OIPRD does not deal with discipline, disciplinary hearings or appeals on policy and service complaints.
5. They further advise me if I disagree with the result:
6. “The OIPRD is an independent organization and our decision is final”.

Why am I compelled to submit my request for justice to a bunch of anonymous political hack appointees who collectively call themselves the Director? I have no idea who they are, probably ex-cops and I have no confidence in the OPP chain of command conducting an impartial investigation and no reason to trust them based on the pro-cop bias previously displayed like G20 and G8 and going nowhere.

The facts are simple and a matter of OPP record that need no further verification: They are all recorded by Sergeant Duval who supervised the SWAT Team that accompanied him on his atrocity of an arrest. Under his direction the OPP seized medical records that are vitally important to their owners and still has them in custody nearly 18 months later. The seizure was common knowledge to the OPP upper ranks and no-one in the chain of command recognized or bothered to point out that they were committing Criminal Negligence under Section 219 of the Criminal Code. Nobody bothered to go to the trouble of telling the criminals to return the documents.

Today, critically ill Medical Marijuana patients still can not access their records if needed for treatment assistance. OPP actions were not only wanton and reckless disregard of the harm they were doing to the 4100 patients who needed them, but intentionally and vindictively designed to prevent renewal of all 4100 licenses by holding the documentation required for their renewals. The OPP simply didn’t give a damn about the pain and agony they were intentionally creating with the recurrence of symptoms that had been under control with their marijuana use.

I don’t understand the Provincial usurpation of Federal authority that appears to have taken place.

Has any Minister of Justice ever agreed to only the OIPRD investigating the Cops with no recourse?

What is happening here? I suspect a whitewash Kangaroo Court by the Blue Brotherhood?

 Please advise if there is any way to evade the dominance of the Police in this matter to avoid having this atrocity classified as a misdemeanor and dropped?

I apologize for the necessity o contacting you with this request but I had no option

In anticipation of your reply.

Respectfully

Dear Minister:

Attached please find

1. a copy of my Complaint to the Office of the Independent Police Review Director of Ontario and
2. a copy of my E-mail to The Honourable Robert Douglas Nicholson- Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Canada
    

I send this as a courtesy advising this problem because I think you will become involved and you need to know the details in order to answer two simple questions:

The only consequence of any contravention of law by the Police in Ontario is an order to investigate themselves by the OIPRD. That guarantees a whitewash result that will turn their felony into a misdemeanor that calls for a verbal reprimand. The OPP actions in this matter resemble a bunch of sub-humans inflicting pain, aggravation, and punishment on people who are sick, have committed no crime and have no defense against Nazi tactics.

Do they have your permission to act like savages or are they just ignoring the illegality of their persecution?

Can you give me any reassurance they are not going to circular file this complaint like they have with the G20 goons?

I’d appreciate straight answers not modeled on the Harperite Transparency Principles. The Cons deem any and all questions an insult to Fearless Leader and a terrorist attack that renders all answers subject to a No Comment because of National Security concerns.

Complaint to Office of the Independent Police Review Director

Office of the Independent Police Review Director

655 Bay Street, 10th Floor
Toronto, Ontario
M7A 2T4

Attn: Complaints

Dear Director:

First I must inform you I am submitting this Complaint to you under protest.

I don’t think you have the capacity to achieve the result I want in the time frame I have left in this life. I am commanded to submit the Complaint to you and I don’t understand why I have to submit to an investigation of the Police by the Police. I am lodging a complaint that Section 219 of the Criminal Code of Canada was intentionally ignored and violated by the whole bloody chain of command of the Ontario Provincial Police. No-one is exempt and that includes the Chief of Police/Commissioner of the OPP. He’s letting these criminals run wild. I would prefer a different police force if possible?

I don’t understand you, as a Provincial official, deciding matters of Federal Law. I have read your website thoroughly and by submitting this to your authority I am compelled to accept your decision as to the guilt or innocence based on an investigation of a brother by his Blue Brotherhood. The only other option is to withdraw the Complaint and walk away. I would like clarification of three phases of your advice regarding

How will the OIPRD handle my review?

.

1. The OIPRD will also contact the police to tell them you have requested a review and give them a copy of the form. We will ask the police to send us all the information they have on your complaint.

• What time frame are we looking at? What is the maximum time they can take to respond and provide their documentation?

2. Once we have received your file from the police, we will assess your case and make a decision about it.

·        How long will that take?

3. If we agree you, the OIPRD will give instructions to the Chief of Police/Commissioner of the OPP about your complaint. The police must follow these instructions. We will tell you about our decision and what happens next.

·        What if I disagree with your proposed instructions to Chief of Police/Commissioner of the OPP? Do I have any input or control as to how the investigation should be conducted?

In anticipation of your acknowledgement of Receipt of my complaint:

Best regards
