Is it semantics that Urban's drug record didn't make the border data base yet Gutka's did? I wonder who else the computer missed.
Cool post...

I started my own CMKX thread.

I'm on my side fung_derf and that side does not slam a woman's head onto the pavement.
I also agree with the good professor and would never talk to cops.
True what you say!
In my defense I was cleaning up some stairs with a heavy grit sandpaper so it could get 3-4 clear-coats by a professional of Varathane-Pro.
There is little difference between penny stock promoters and some home renovation specialists. They will both rip-off little old ladies and the simple minded that we see frequenting these sites.
If I lived in a police state I would try and avoid dealing with reminders of what it looked like.
A Tallahassee woman badly injured during a controversial DUI arrest speaks publicly for the first time.
Christina West settled her lawsuit with the city last week for
$475,000.
West admits she had been drinking before she crashed into a home in Tallahassee's Killearn neighborhood last year with three 16 year old foreign exchange students as passengers.
Eyewitness News viewers may remember a picture of Christina West's badly bruised and swollen face.
It was taken after an encounter with two Tallahassee Police officers captured on TPD dash cam.
They were arresting West for driving under the influence of alcohol.
Based on that photo, viewers might not recognize West now.
"I never could've imagined in a 100 years I'd be in a situation like that," West said.
While West admits she was impatient with the officers, she felt they crossed the line with their physical handling of her.
She says she was so beaten up, she soiled herself.
But officers had her in handcuffs and bound her feet.
"Put me in the back of the police car face first in my own excrement and rode all around town face first in my own excrement in pain," West said.
A series of photos West released to Eyewitness News shows the healing process of her body over time.
It included surgery to remove bone fragments from her cheek through her eye socket.
Four TPD officers were suspended not for West's injuries, but for failing to get her immediate medical attention.
"Well of course my opinion is they should've lost their jobs," she said.
But West says the most traumatizing fallout was a Department of Children and Families investigation against her because of her DUI arrest with three minors in the car.
It could've led to her young twins being taken away from her.
"The greatest toll that this thing has taken has been on my family and children," West said.
She says the best result from her case has been changes to TPD.
"It's amazing the changes that are being made," West said. "It's wonderful and we really have a lot of confidence in Chief DeLeo," she said.

Thank God the USA never got their hands on Urban.
He might have got the same treatment this poor woman received.

You might be right. I once replaced a shower-head and somehow managed to loosen the pipe behind the ceramic tile. What should have cost around $25 wound up costing over $1000.

In Saskatchewan we had a visionary megalomaniac that started a system called medicare years and years ago, his name was Tommy "The Commie" Douglas.
Canadians airbrush the truth about Tommy Douglas’s enthusiasm for eugenics: MD
Tom Blackwell, National Post
Wednesday, Mar. 14, 2012
Canadians suffer from a “collective national amnesia” regarding Tommy Douglas’s support for eugenics, likely because they are reluctant to taint the medicare pioneer’s glowing image with unsavoury ideas, suggests a prominent McGill University physician in a new analysis.
Biographies and other accounts of Mr. Douglas’s life have either ignored or down-played his striking embrace in the mid-1930s of forced sterilization and segregation for people of “sub-normal” intelligence and morality, says Dr. Michael Shevell in a newly published academic paper.
He argues that people should instead make a point of remembering the CCF/NDP leader’s early advocacy of eugenics as a cautionary tale about simplistic medical solutions to social problems — even as they admire his many other, positive accomplishments.
“We need to know as Canadians that our past isn’t just one long, unblemished record, and that we have gone down the wrong path on several occasions. We need to be aware of that so we don’t make these mistakes now or going forward,” the head of pediatrics at Montreal Children’s Hospital said in an interview.
“Any type of malicious behaviour or moral indiscretion in medicine starts with the assumption that somebody is not a person. That’s the beginning of the slippery slope.”
The spectre of eugenics may not be so remote today, in an age when technology has linked increasing numbers of diseases, psychological conditions and even personality traits to specific genes, said the neurologist and molecular geneticist. DNA testing of embryos already makes it possible for parents to pick and choose specific attributes in children born from in-vitro fertilization.
Writing in the Canadian Journal of Neurological Sciences, Dr. Shevell also suggested Mr. Douglas’s support for eugenics in a 1933 Master’s thesis and other writings is not as contradictory as it might seem for someone who was both a Baptist preacher and left-leaning politician.
The CCF/NDP leader’s pro-eugenics stance stemmed somewhat naturally from his embrace of a practical Christianity in public life, and belief in government intervention to solve society’s ills, Dr. Shevell argued.
Ultimately, it may have been a 1936 visit to Germany and first-hand observation of the Nazis that dissuaded Mr. Douglas from implementing eugenics when he took power in Saskatchewan – unlike counterparts in Alberta and B.C., the physician suggested.
No one from the Douglas-Coldwell Foundation, a think tank dedicated to promoting social democratic ideas like those of its namesake – was available for comment. A statement on its web site in response to earlier publicity about the issue, however, notes that eugenic philosophy was once widely supported. “What matters is what Tommy actually did once he became premier … when he specifically rejected advice involving eugenics.”
Mr. Douglas also made Saskatchewan the first jurisdiction in North America to introduce universal, publicly funded health care – leading eventually to a national medicare system. CBC audience members voted him the “Greatest Canadian” in a network-run competition in 2004.
Dr. Shevell said he has long been interested in the role of medicine in the Third Reich, when eugenics led to horrific experiments by physicians and scientists on people considered to be inferior human beings.
As someone who has “revered” Mr. Douglas for his medicare achievements, he said he was surprised to come across the former premier’s 1933 sociology Master’s thesis from McMaster University in Hamilton, titled The problems of the sub-normal family. Similar ideas reappeared in a 1934 document of the CCF, the NDP’s predecessor, said Dr. Shevell.
Under eugenics, human reproduction is restricted as a way to address social problems and improve the human population. By the mid-1930s, 24 U.S. states, Alberta and B.C. had laws mandating sterilization of those found to be intellectually disabled or morally degenerate.
‘Any type of malicious behaviour or moral indiscretion in medicine starts with the assumption that somebody is not a person’
Mr. Douglas argues in his thesis that one of the key causes of poverty are subnormal families, ones that are mentally inadequate – “anywhere from high-grade moron to mentally defective” – of low moral character and/or a burden on the public purse.
His urges sterilization of those deemed mentally defective or incurably diseased, arguing it is “consummate folly” to let subnormal families “bring in to the world large numbers of individuals to fill our jails and mental institutions and to live upon charity.”
Mr. Douglas also calls for segregation of sub-normal families, and medical certification to ensure someone is mentally and physically fit before getting married.
And yet, not only did he shun such ideas when he became premier nine years later, he introduced programs of therapy and vocational training for mentally disabled people, and increased funding for psychiatry, notes Dr. Shevell.
Mr. Douglas’s ultimate rejection of eugenics may have stemmed from his visit to Germany as a World Youth Congress delegate, when he witnessed a rally led by Hitler, later calling the spectacle “frightful,” the physician said.

Usvan told me that Urban had obtained permission to mine ium at the Black Strap volcano from the Saskatchewan government.
Due to ium being a strategic mineral the government was keen to have it in capable hands.
The federal and provincial government gave the area First Nation reserve status so the Metis and Indian laborers could not only be gainfully employed but get paid tax-free.
The entrance to the #1 shaft was cleverly hidden behind the change room in the ski-hill clubhouse.
It doesn't happen very often where a wrongful death lawsuit works it way through the Saskatchewan court system. If you're sick and you live in Saskatchewan and can afford it you go to the Mayo Clinic.

Court denies woman's appeal
By Lori Coolican, Saskatchewan News Network; Postmedia News February 25, 2011
The Saskatchewan Court of Appeal has upheld a Saskatoon jury's 2007 decision to dismiss a multimillion-dollar negligence lawsuit brought by a woman who suffered catastrophic injuries after a gynecologist unknowingly nicked her bowel during tubal ligation surgery.
Queen's Bench Justice Grant Currie did not make significant errors in conducting the lengthy civil trial, or in his instructions to the jury, and the resulting verdict was not unreasonable, three appellate court judges concluded in a 43page written decision issued last month.
Lisa Baert, a mother of two, developed septic shock and was readmitted to hospital two days after the outpatient laparoscopic surgery performed by Dr. Kenneth Graham at Lloydminster Hospital on July 14, 1999.
She was 21 years old at the time. The infection almost killed her.
Baert suffered serious brain damage and permanent partial paralysis that left her in a wheelchair.
Doctors were forced to amputate her hands at the wrists, as well as her legs below the knees.
Her husband Mark subsequently launched the lawsuit on the family's behalf against Graham, the health region and three hospital nurses involved in her post-operative care.
Before the suit went to trial, an undisclosed settlement was reached with the hospital and the nurses.
After hearing nine weeks of testimony and argument in the complex trial of her claim against Graham, the all-female six-member jury concluded that the doctor had obtained Baert's informed consent to perform the surgery, and had provided a standard level of care both during and after the procedure.
During the course of the trial, Currie did not allow testimony from other patients who had suffered complications after surgeries performed by Graham.
Among them was a woman from Dawson Creek, B.C., whose bowel was nicked when Graham gave her a tubal ligation there in 2002. Her lawsuit against him was settled out of court for an undisclosed sum.
The Court of Appeal ruling agrees with Currie's decision not to let the other patients take the witness stand.
Allowing Baert's lawyer to introduce such evidence "was likely to have spawned a series of mini-trials -one in relation to the assertions of each of the other patients -for Dr. Graham would surely have been entitled to challenge the similarities of the situations and the accuracy of the testimony of each of these witnesses, and then to adduce evidence, oral and documentary, for the purpose of refuting the testimony of each," the appellate judges wrote.
Graham stopped working as a doctor after developing health problems in 2003.
Willy, you are a toxic piece of poop that should be in court facing charges with the rest of the gang.
Urban wouldn't be in Saskatoon or PA. I recall he had a place in Aruba during the pre-cmkx days and had learned to sail.
I'm sure the "authorities" could access all kinds of things if need be.
A foreign authority would have no jurisdiction in Canada to access the record without a lot of good reasons.
I would not make a bet on the validity of records that exist or don't exist at the Prince Albert Court House.
There is a registry but only available to next of kin and for good reason.

What place might that be?
Yet no obit, no death notice and no record.
We got papers for a guy that worked for us in Mexico. He was what they call Sin Nombre - i.e. no name... good worker and nice guy. One of our other workers adopted him as his son - no one ever noticed that he was 20 years younger than his son and would have had to father him at age 8. Such is Mexico...
The strange religion of the Americans...
"But how am I to describe the sounds that proceeded from this strange mass of human beings? I know no words which can convey an idea of it. Hysterical sobbings, convulsive groans, shrieks and screams the most appalling, burst forth on all sides. I felt sick with horror. As if their hoarse and over strained voices failed to make noise enough, they soon began to clap their hands violently. The scene described by Dante was before me:-
"Quivi sospiri, pianti, ed alti guai
Risonavon per l'aere—
—Orribili favelle
Parole di dolore, accenti d'ira
Voci alti e floche, e suon di man con elle."
Many of these wretched creatures were beautiful young females. The preachers moved about among them, at once exciting and soothing their agonies. I heard the muttered "Sister! dear sister!" I saw the insidious lips approach the cheeks of the unhappy girls; I heard the murmured confessions of the poor victims, and I watched their tormentors, breathing into their ears consolations that tinged the pale cheek with red. Had I been a man, I am sure I should have been guilty of some rash act of interference; nor do I believe that such a scene could have been acted in the presence of Englishmen without instant punishment being inflicted; not to mention the salutary discipline of the treadmill, which, beyond all question, would, in England, have been applied to check so turbulent and so vicious a scene.
After the first wild burst that followed their prostration, the meanings, in many instances, became loudly articulate; and I then experienced a strange vibration between tragic and comic feeling.
A very pretty girl, who was kneeling in the attitude of Canova's Magdalene immediately before us, amongst an immense quantity of jargon, broke out thus: "Woe! woe to the backsliders! hear it, hear it Jesus! when I was fifteen my mother died, and I backslided, oh Jesus, I backslided! take me home to my mother, Jesus! take me home to her, for I am weary! Oh John Mitchel! John Mitchel!" and after sobbing piteously behind her raised hands, she lifted her sweet face again, which was as pale as death, and said, "Shall I sit on the sunny bank of salvation with my mother? my own dear mother? oh Jesus, take me home, take me home!" Who could refuse a tear to this earnest wish for death in one so young and so lovely? But I saw her, ere I left the ground, with her hand fast locked, and her head supported by a man who looked very much as Don Juan might, when sent back to earth as too bad for the regions below.
One woman near us continued to "call on the Lord," as it is termed, in the loudest possible tone, and without a moment's interval, for the two hours that we kept our dreadful station. She became frightfully hoarse, and her face so red as to make me expect she would burst a blood-vessel. Among the rest of her rant, she said, "I will hold fast to Jesus, I never will let him go; if they take me to hell, I will still hold him fast, fast, fast!"
The stunning noise was sometimes varied by the preachers beginning to sing; but the convulsive movements of the poor maniacs only became more violent. At length the atrocious wickedness of this horrible scene increased to a degree of grossness, that drove us from our station; we returned to the carriage at about three o'clock in the morning, and passed the remainder of the night in listening to the ever increasing tumult at the pen. To sleep was impossible. At daybreak the horn again sounded, to send them to private devotion; and in about an hour afterwards I saw the whole camp as joyously and eagerly employed in preparing and devouring their most substantial breakfasts as if the night had been passed in dancing; and I marked many a fair but pale face, that I recognised as a demoniac of the night, simpering beside a swain, to whom she carefully administered hot coffee and eggs. The preaching saint and the howling sinner seemed alike to relish this mode of recruiting their strength.
After enjoying abundance of strong tea, which proved a delightful restorative after a night so strangely spent, I wandered alone into the forest, and I never remember to have found perfect quiet more delightful.
We soon after left the ground; but before our departure we learnt that a very satisfactory collection had been made by the preachers, for Bibles, Tracts, and all other religious purposes."
More on the crazy-ways of the Americans...
"There was, however, one passage from which common-sense revolted; it was one wherein she quoted that phrase of mischievous sophistry, "all men are born free and equal." This false and futile axiom, which has done, is doing, and will do so much harm to this fine country, came from Jefferson; and truly his life was a glorious commentary upon it. I pretend not to criticise his written works, but commonsense enables me to pronounce this, his favourite maxim, false.
Few names are held in higher estimation in America, than that of Jefferson; it is the touchstone of the democratic party, and all seem to agree that he was one of the greatest of men; yet I have heard his name coupled with deeds which would make the sons of Europe shudder. The facts I allude to are spoken openly by all, not whispered privately by a few; and in a country where religion is the tea-table talk, and its strict observance a fashionable distinction, these facts are recorded, and listened to, without horror, nay, without emotion.
Mr. Jefferson is said to have been the father of children by almost all his numerous gang of female slaves. These wretched offspring were also the lawful slaves of their father, and worked in his house and plantations as such; in particular, it is recorded that it was his especial pleasure to be waited upon by them at table, and the hospitable orgies for which his Montecielo was so celebrated, were incomplete, unless the goblet he quaffed were tendered by the trembling hand of his own slavish offspring."
The more I read here the more I realize Fanny Trollope had you people figured out a long long time ago.

"Jefferson's posthumous works were very generally circulated whilst I was in America. They are a mighty mass of mischief. He wrote with more perspicuity than he thought, and his hot-headed democracy has done a fearful injury to his country. Hollow and unsound as his doctrines are, they are but too palatable to a people, each individual of whom would rather derive his importance from believing that none are above him, than from the consciousness that in his station he makes part of a noble whole. The social system of Mr. Jefferson, if carried into effect, would make of mankind an unamalgamated mass of grating atoms, where the darling "I'm as good as you," would soon take place of the law and the Gospel. As it is, his principles, though happily not fully put in action, have yet produced most lamentable results. The assumption of equality, however empty, is sufficient to tincture the manners of the poor with brutal insolence, and subjects the rich to the paltry expediency of sanctioning the falsehood, however deep their conviction that it is such. It cannot, I think, be denied that the great men of America attain to power and to fame, by eternally uttering what they know to be untrue. American citizens are not equal. Did Washington feel them to be so, when his word outweighed (so happily for them) the votes of thousands? Did Franklin think that all were equal when he shouldered his way from the printing press to the cabinet? True, he looked back in high good humour, and with his kindest smile told the poor devils whom he left behind, that they were all his equals; but Franklin did not speak the truth, and he knew it. The great, the immortal Jefferson himself, he who when past the three score years and ten, still taught young females to obey his nod, and so became the father of unnumbered generations of groaning slaves, what was his matin and his vesper hymn? "All men are born free and equal." Did the venerable father of the gang believe it? Or did he too purchase his immortality by a lie?"
Urban was more worried about the Chinese Investors than the DOJ. I won't comment more here about Mr. C and his whereabouts.
"Are my 2 million shares worth anything yet?"
Maybe, if you qualify.
There are three classes of Super-Shares.
1) Authenticated
2) Authenticated with original signature of Urban Casavant.
3) Authenticated with original signature of Usvan Casavant.
Not many people know that Urban had a twin brother who ran the U.S. operations. He was quite the gambler and there is only one known picture of him, collecting winnings at an obscure Las Vegas casino. Urban actually never gambled or went to Vegas and Usvan once in Vegas never came back to Canada.
The actual authenticated float is 22,444,000 shares and approximately 2/3 has been accounted for.
You people need to realize a steady diet of pulp-fiction has turned your brains to mush.
You people need to read the classics of literature.
I just don't get it. Your president wants to take away your God given Second Amendment rights because of some shooter in Oregon and then he sends a bunch of doctors in Afghanistan to the promised land. What is wrong with you people!
You spend your working day saying "would you like to up-size your fries" and think you can insult me...? L0L0L!!!
10,000 posts here and not one share owned except for a day-trade...! And you're calling me an idiot? You are more heavily invested in this than I ever was.
Do you own shares in other companies you post about or are they just so you can show your superior intellect by doing one quick day-trade.
91,271 posts and you're not a shareholder? Good Grief Man - why are you here!!!
Just so you know there is an active market for CMKX scrip in the Prince Albert Saskatchewan area.
I know a guy that just swapped some cows for certified scrip.
Your share certificates have to be authenticated, certified and notarized to take part in the "after-market".
The boys are all on side with this.
Cars, cows and bar bills are all being paid with these new super-shares.
We call them "super-shares" because it is a higher price share because of the dilution caused by people who don't participate or are not allowed in this special market.
If you are a Lodge member in good standing you are in like flint and will get expedited service.

C'mon I know you bought a $100 worth of CMKX. We will be happy to reimburse you. LOL!!!
People like you need a bad-guy to blame for their own stupidity, when in fact you bent over to give Urbie your money.

I'll buy your shares - how much do you want?

All the locations are strategically circling the FalC Forest.
Diamond North was where Urban kept his drop out cash under lock and key.
The boys are living off the grid right now up at Clam Lake and flying in supplies for the winter.
The only access will be after freeze-up across lakes and hidden portages that only the chosen few know.
The boys are doing some strategic planning this winter and there will be many late night sessions eating bacon wrapped pickerel washed down with cool Canadian whiskey.
I wonder why we are not being paid dividends on our CMKX shares? Diamonds are being produced so money must be accruing somewhere. If they don't pay a dividend maybe we get production in kind. There is something fishy going on here. I better give Diamond North a call and sort it out.

Here is a case of a B.C. company using a Montana geologist to write a Canadian NI 43-101 and getting what turned out to be a bogus tax opinion on the investment from an Ontario lawyer now being sued in Saskatchewan.
I'm guessing the Saskatchewan and B.C. lawyers real target is the Ontario Lawyer's insurance fund that has lots and lots of money.
