Jerry McCaw & Gerald Blerot
Posted: Sun May 05, 2013 3:48 am
And the CRA earns another kill-ring, this time it’s a Jerry Leroy McCaw:

This is yet another of the Porisky clan.
These articles identify another Porisky promoter, a Gerald W. Blerot, who is presently facing charges for tax evasion and promoting tax evasion. Up until this point I had not detected Blerot, however he has an extensive litigation history with quite unusual aspects.
He first appears in 1996, engaged in some kind of pseudolegal-type activity. This leads to an action by the Law Society of Saskatchewan, court decisions with a couple chiefly procedural aspects are reported here:
Blerot v. Saskatchewan Law Society, 1996 CanLII 4971 (Sask. C.A.): http://canlii.ca/t/1mb4t
Blerot v. Agricultural Credit Corporation of Saskatchewan, 1996 CanLII 4919 (Sask. C.A.): http://canlii.ca/t/1mb33
Media reporting from this period indicates that Blerot claimed that as a “paralegal” that he could take dramatic activities, while rabble-rousing against the Canadian Wheat Board:

The Canadian Wheat Board is an organization that in Canada until 2011 acted as a required marketing conduit for producers of wheat and some other grains. The producers sold grains to the Wheat Board at a set price, and then the Wheat Board marketed those grains to any customer.
A parallel Manitoba practicing as a lawyer prohibition also issued in this period:

Shortly after these developments Blerot makes a kind of citizen arrest of the Saskatchewan Minister of Justice and Attorney General inside the Legislative Building. The details of this encounter are reported in this decision:
R. v. Blerot, 1998 CanLII 13335 (SK PC): http://canlii.ca/t/1nqrs
In brief, Blerot and several other persons intercept the Minister in a semi-secure area, Blerot grabs the Minister’s arm, announces he is under a citizen’s arrest, all while the other persons videotape the events. Security intervenes, the Minister is released, and Blerot is arrested.
It appears the basis for Blerot’s actions was that Blerot disapproved of the Crown staying criminal charges against a Sasktchewan lawyer, Conrad D. Hadubiak. At para. 21 we find a breakdown of Blerot’s beliefs, which includes:
Unsurprisingly, Blerot is found guilty of assault. He appealed, presumably unsuccessfully, which resulted a quite odd decision of the Saskatchewan Queen’s Bench that concluded the court had not lost jurisdiction when the appeal was heard in a different courtroom than where it had initially been scheduled:
R. v. Blerot, 1999 SKQB 23: http://canlii.ca/t/1lbtx
I guess you can’t fault the guy for trying…
Blerot next pops up in 1999, in a dispute over how interest should be calculated for a farm loan. This leads to a series of decisions:
Canada (Attorney General) v. Blerot, 1999 CanLII 12604 (Saskatchewan Queen’s Bench): http://canlii.ca/t/1lbfb
Canada (Attorney General) v. Blerot, 2001 SKCA 18: http://canlii.ca/t/4tbz
Leave to appeal to the Supreme Court is denied.
Blerot then in 2003 promoted a cluster of businesses, all which have “Synergy” in their names, and that that offer investment in a “tax free environment”. This presumed scam gets shut down as well:

Then it’s all quiet on the Blerot front, at least until 2006. At that point Blerot is heading a corporation named “Plain Investment”, which was part of an investment scheme in sporting and cultural event tickets, described this way in the 2008 Canadian Securities Administrators report:
Blerot v. Canada (National Revenue), 2011 FC 882: http://canlii.ca/t/fmcd5
Canada (Attorney General) v. Blerot, 2012 FCA 124: http://canlii.ca/t/frc7j
And that didn’t work. In the Federal Court decision he is identified as "Gerald Blerot (Natural Person)".
Blerot appears to be a pure-stream Detaxer, with no associated Freeman-on-the-Land indicia or aspects. If he has an online presence, it eluded me.

This appears to be the first instance in Canada where the upper/lower case name OPCA argument is reported, and is not identified in Meads v. Meads.The accused's name is typed in small letters on his birth certificate but completely in capital letters on his driver's licence and the information charging the offence before the court. As the court understands the accused's position, he feels we have the wrong person and the information is not valid. The court can reject this position outright as having no basis in law whatsoever.

Again, quiet, until Blerot attempts to contest search warrants by the CRA for information presumably related to tax evasion.In cases of illegal distribution, investors are often promised guaranteed or unrealistic returns on an investment. In the Executive Marketing Strategies (EMS) case in Alberta, for example, investors were promised “highly attractive” returns of as much as 18 per cent per quarter to invest in an event ticket business. The respondents in EMS raised approximately $10 million from over 300 investors by selling them loan agreements in which money would be lent to ticket brokers for the purchase of large blocks of event tickets. An Alberta Securities Commission (ASC) panel found that EMS failed to demonstrate all of the money raised through the loan agreements was used for this purpose, and that the respondents personally benefited from the money received by EMS. The ASC panel ordered a total of $490,000 in administrative penalties and trading bans against the respondents.
