It's been a while since we've heard from Bernard. When we last discussed him it was late 2013 and he'd just lost his attempt to get the court to force the government to give him his estate. It seemed an unfair decision to me since he was dead which clearly made him the beneficiary of his own estate (don't ask, it gets complicated). As a result of that disastrous loss he'd been declared a vexatious litigant at the Supreme Court of British Columbia and seemed to disappear. Well he's back! He's been busy posting this legal notice in local neighbourhood newspapers;

What does it all mean? Who the hell knows? I sat through Bernard's court hearing while he explained why the court should grant him his multi-million dollar estate and I had no idea what he was talking about. He's become no more coherent. It seems to be a claim to real estate parcels except that the numbers don't correspond to land registry lot numbers. Since he claimed that his estate was being held in trust for him by the Canada Revenue Agency perhaps these are some kind of CRA numbers that Bernie and his merry band think will finally unlock his estate.
One problem for Bernie when his thirty day rebuttal period ends. He's been declared a vexatious litigant so he can't go to court to try and enforce this claim, whatever it is.
Our new player, Natalie Margo Desiree Moor does give us a new link or two however. She's a director of the Omni-Galactic Comitas Gentium Corporation.

As are both Bernard and the Bernard Yankson Trust, Farzana Logan and Espavo Sozo. Omni-Galactic is, or was, a federally incorporated company, set up in 2013, with its head office in Grimsby Ontario. However all of the directors are from Vancouver. I said that it was a company because it was dissolved in 2016 for failing to meet reporting requirements. I've found a list of 20 or so companies with the same address as Omni-Galactic so I assume it's just a registration-mail drop address.
All of the directors give their addresses as RPO 32655, Liberty Square, Vancouver BC V6B 0H5. One problem with that. There is no "Liberty" Square in Vancouver. However we do have a "Library" Square, a full square city block occupied by the main branch of the Vancouver Public Library. This seems to be the place referred to because the postal code V6B 0H5 is the code for that block. However Benard is not addressing mail to the library. There are numerous small businesses within the complex and one is a photocopying, postal box, printing outlet. Note that Bernard actually gives two mailing addresses for himself and his trust. The second, 875 Heron Road, Ottawa, is actually a large Canada Revenue Agency office building. This is where we mail our cheques for outstanding taxes. So I don't think dropping Bernard a line there will get a response.
Espavo Sozo has a bit of an online presence. He's head of a local political party called the Platinum Party;
http://www.platinumparty.org/
It's unclear (meaning I'm too lazy to check it out) what the party stands for but they do claim to do these functions;
A) court scrutinizers
B) forensic political journalist
C) forensic political researcher
D) forensic political investigator
They are not taken entirely seriously;

So where is this all going? Maybe we'll find out when the 30 day period expires.
