Craig Jones
On behalf of the Attorney General for British Columbia, Mr. Craig Jones presented false arguments in oral and written submissions he made in December, 2007, in response to a Petition Mr. Carten had filed in the Supreme Court of British Columbia in October, 2007, at the Kelowna Court registry.
It was the filing of this Petition that we believe, in one way or another, caused or contributed to the sudden deaths of Judges Robert Edwards, Antonio Lamer and Allan McEachern.
It also led to the malicious prosecution of Mr. Carten, the death of Chief Judge Hugh Stansfield, the exposure of Brenda Edwards as a key player in the Water War Crimes and the unveiling of another dirty lawyer, Joanne Platt. The story of the attempted obstruction of justice by lawyer Joanne Platt is part of the story of the malicious prosecution of Mr. Carten.
In his submissions to the Court, Craig Jones presented the false position that the allegations of Mr. Carten that the Attorney General of British Columbia and the Government of British Columbia had been engaged in wrongdoing were the product of his (Mr. Carten) imagination when proof of that wrongdoing was plainly evident in the document referred to as the Cabinet Submission that contained legal advice by the Attorney General that Government of British Columbia water export policy was contrary to the Free Trade Agreement and the GATT and that the agreement between the Government of British Columbia and W.C.W. Western Canada Water Enterprise Ltd. was contrary to the Water Act. Mr. Jones was lying to the Court. A lot of lawyers do it. It is wrong. It is contrary to almost all Codes of Professional Conduct for lawyers, but, unfortunately, t is a common practice in Canada.
In addition Mr. Craig Jones attempted to discredit Mr. Carten by attacking his mental stability. It is lawyers who lie, cheat commit, perjury and obstruct justice who are mentally unstable.
These comments by Mr. Craig Jones were false and fraudulent. There is plenty of evidence in the files of the Government of British Columbia that the government was violating two international treaties and its own domestic legislation. There is no evidence that Mr. Carten has any history of mental instability.
In a private conversation with Mr. Jones at the courthouse in Kelowna on December 14, 2009, it was suggested to Mr. Jones that he come clean and disclose all of evidence in his files of the political people involved in the bulk water export scandal. Mr. Jones declined saying if he did he would lose his job.
These incidents illustrate of the pressure and influence exerted on young lawyers by senior people with the Governments of Canada and British Columbia forcing those young lawyers to lie and cheat in order to keep their jobs.
The sudden deaths of Judges Robert Edwards, Antonio Lamer, Allan McEachern and Ralph Hutchinson must have had a salutory and sobering effect on Mr. Craig Jones, because in October, 2008, when called as a witness in the malicious and vindictive prosecution of Mr. Carten on the charge of criminal harassment, Mr. Craig Jones took the bible in his hand and swore to tell the truth and, lo and behold, he did tell the truth. Mr. Craig Jones then proceeded to lay out the evidence that contradicted the false and exaggerated evidence of Brenda Edwards, the chief witness for the Government of British Columbia against Mr. Carten, the legal assistant to the dirty Chief Judge of the Provincial Court, namely, Mr. Hugh Stansfield – deceased – dead judge number seven.
There is good reason to believe that the Ms. Edwards witness for the Government against Mr. Carten, lied in the witness box because she, too, was under pressure from insiders to lie and cheat and not reveal their dirty secrets.
It was noted by witnesses that when Mr. Carten told the court the story of the crookedness that involved lawyer Don Chaisson, Ms. Edwards, who was then sitting in the viewing gallery, threw her hands up and covered her face. This body language spoke to the truth that Mr. Carten spokeand that Ms., Edwards was desparate to cover up.
After Don Chaisson did his dirty job for the Attorney General of British Columiba he was rewarded with a high paying job in Ottawa as Director of the Canada China Judicial Linkages Project with the National Judicial Institute but recent inquiries indicate he has been dismissed from that job.
This truthful evidence of Mr. Craig Jones formed the basis for the acquittal of the flimsy case by the Government of British Columbia against Mr. Carten.

Students of Canadian political life will remember Craig Jones as the young University of British Columbia law student who challenged the RCMP and became a victim of “pepper spray” at the APEC (Asia Pacific Economic Community) Conference held in Vancouver in 1999. The incident became known as the Pepper Spray Affair, Prime Minister Chretien tried to make light of the situation by saying he used pepper on his steak and the RCMP were blamed for a host of evils that included taking direct orders from the Prime Ministers office. In the center of this controversy was Craig Jones.
Mr. Jones graduated from University of British Columbia, worked briefly at the British Columbia Civil Liberties Association and then took employment with the Ministry of the Attorney General of the Government of British Columbia. He was promoted to become the supervisor of the Constitutional Law Section with the Ministry of the Attorney General for British Columbia but left that position in 2012 when there was general clean out of lawyers at the Ministry of the Attorney General shortly after Premier Christy Clark took office.
We wish Craig Jones no harm, he made a mistake and he rebalanced the karmic scales by telling the truth and justice was served.
Craig Jones moved on to become a Professor of Law and the newly created law school at the Thompson Rivers University in Kamloops, British Columbia.
