Re: David Thomasson ODSPA Charter Challenge; Social Benefits Tribunal Appeal
Attention: The Registrar
I, David Thomasson, am a self-represented appellant appealing my recent ODSP suspension. I am making a Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms challenge against the Ontario Disability Support Program Act (ODSPA). My appeal defense is that the legislated ODSPA quasi-judicial Director’s Decision and Internal Review Process violates my fundamental right to Equality.
I consider my Social Benefits Tribunal hearing a necessary preliminary step before filing my Charter Challenge in Ontario Superior Court. My purpose is to create a comprehensive record of proceedings to be used in Superior Court and prove the ODSPA is unconstitutional.
Please inform your legal staff of my Charter Defense and identify the lawyer representing the Director in my case.
Please specify with whom, and at which address, I must file copies of each document as my appeal proceeds. I request that receipt of each document be verified by a reply confirming it is now part of my appeal file. I insist all communications be only in writing to create a verifiable record. I do not have a fax machine.
Please schedule 1 full day to hear my Charter Challenge defence against the Director’s Decision to punish me.
Please provide a full recorded transcript of my SBT hearing.
Please allow the public and news media to attend my SBT hearing and publicly report what occurs.
Please specify all submission dates related to this Social Benefits Tribunal hearing.
I will file my Charter Challenge against the ODSPA in Ontario Superior Court immediately after receiving the Tribunal’s written decision on my appeal Charter Defense. I will contend my SBT hearing is clear proof that the legislated quasi-judicial ODSPA Director’s Decision and Internal Review Process violates my Charter Right to Equality. I will ask the Ontario Superior Court to immediately hear my Charter question rather than force me to repeat my entire defense at a SBT reconsideration hearing.
I am currently completing my Charter Challenge and will soon send it to the Tribunal. I have a long list of questions intended to determine and verify exactly how each step of the quasi-judicial ODSPA Director’s Decision and Internal Review process occurs.
I am making a very public challenge to the ODSPA, using the news media, the internet, the political process, the quasi-judicial process, and the judicial process to publicly prove the ODSPA violates the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Please see my website www.greendave.ca for more information. Please note that I continue to mock Premier McGuinty on www.greendave.ca as clear proof that my statements are not libellous so they must be true.
I offer to pay $1,000 costs and immediately submit to ODSPA authority as soon as someone, anyone, even anonymously clearly proves how the ODSPA fully complies with the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
I ask that the Ontario Government immediately end all ODSPA discrimination against Ontario’s Disabled People.
I await the Ontario Government’s comprehensive defense of the constitutional legitimacy of the ODSPA.
Sincerely
David Thomasson
