SIGN PETITION: Petitioning Advisory Council of the Order of Canada Nominate Rocco Galati to the Order of Canada
Jennifer Ross Kitchener, Canada
[ https://www.change.org/p/advisory-counc ... -of-canada ]
The three levels of the Order of Canada recognize the achievement of outstanding merit or distinguished service by Canadians who made a major difference to Canada.
Rocco Galati, as an individual Canadian, has done more to preserve our heritage, our rights as Canadians, and the fairness of justice than any other individual Canadian in recent years. Rocco Galati has given of his legal expertise and talent, often at great personal expense, to challenge unfair, discriminatory and unConstitutional laws.
I can't think of anyone who better personifies the motto of the Order; "they desire a better country".
Select cases Mr. Galati will, is or has taken on, on our behalf:
Marc Nadon appointment to the Supreme Court; Bank of Canada mandate; Citizenship Act changes; C-51 challenge.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Rocco Galati: the lawyer who lives to take on the government

Galati has many clients, but only one opponent — the government
“In order to succeed Rocco must change his attitude,” the Grade 8 report card states.
“He is hostile toward any form of authority. This attitude comes out in his rudeness and indifference to teachers and peers. Rocco can be an excellent student but must direct his energy toward the positive rather than the negative.”
Forty years later, Rocco Galati is proud to say he hasn’t changed one bit.
His mistrust of authority is the backbone of his successful law practice, which only takes on cases against the government.
“The only effective balance to governments going wrong is an independent judiciary and the rule of law,” says the famously sharp and combative constitutional lawyer, known both for taking on the difficult cases that other lawyers won’t touch and his penchant for dramatic courtroom oration.
“If the judiciary is not itself following the dictates in the law and constitution, then you’ve got a real problem.”

Maverick lawyer argues central bank should provide interest-free money for infrastructure

The lawyer best known for stopping the Supreme Court appointment of Judge Marc Nadon has turned his sights on the Bank of Canada.
Rocco Galati has taken on a case for a group called the Committee for Monetary and Economic Reform, or COMER, which wants the central bank to return to the practice of lending federal and provincial governments interest-free money for infrastructure.

"They felt it was important in the face of the financial sector meltdown in 2008, the banking meltdown, and the drastic reduction and elimination of human capital infrastructure such as health care, universities and basically the stuff that the Bank of Canada from 1938 to 1974 funded," Galati said in an interview with CBC's The Exchange with Amanda Lang. [ http://www.cbc.ca/player/News/TV+Shows/ ... 65/?page=5 ]
His clients have been dismissed as conspiracy theorists, but Galati argues the law is there to support their case.
The Bank of Canada was set up in 1935 in the wake of the Great Depression to provide a means for settling international accounts and to provide interest-free loans to government to finance infrastructure investments.
