This blog was set in Febraury, 2011, to report to the Canadian public Carol's most notorious case where we believe she was party to a corrupt scheme to judicially launder $1 million.

This blog was visited on many occasions by Governments of Canada and British Columbia, including the Federal Department of Justice and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, but no one from any of those governments contacted the Editors to defend Judge Carol Baird Ellan or to advise that the material posted was incorrect.  So, we presume that she is guilty as charged.

If this blog contributed to the removal of a dirty judge from the bench then it has served its purpose of helping to clean up Canada's judiciary.

Judge Carol Baird Ellan was 55 years old and she had served 20 years as a judge at the time she retired.  Under the Provincial Court Act a judge may remain in office until age 75 which means that Carol retired 20 years early.  At this time, we do not know if she will be receiving a pension as a reward for her services in aid of money laundering.  Provincial Court pensions are calculated on the basis of 2% of highest average pay for five years multiplied by the years of service.  So, Carol Barid Ellan will probably be paid a pension in the range of 40 per cent of her judicial salary which was in the range of $200,000 per year or about $80,000 per year.       

If Carol Baird-Ellen lives out her natural life span, of about 85 years, she will collect about $2.4 million of  taxpayers money. 

So, what is going on? 

Why are judges who commit crimes on the bench collecting pensions instead of being put behind bars and serving a long jail sentence both as punishment for their crimes and a deterrence for others?

Naturally, it is only the Editors opinion that Carol Baird Ellan was a knowing part of a criminal conspiracy so we will let the readers be the judge of Canada's so-called justice system where average citizens who get caught breaking the law are punished but judges are not.     

Did Judge Carol Baird Ellan Use Her Judicial Office To Launder Proceeds of Crime Totalling $1 Million

Judge Carol Baird Ellen 

One day, in Vancouver, British Columbia, an off duty policemen, was walking in a city park when he happened to notice a bag in a trash bin.

Instead of walking right past the bag in the trash bin, as most people would, this policeman decided to look into the bag and "lo and behold" he found that there was $1 million dollars in the bag that he had stumbled upon - very much by accident, or, so the story goes. 

We think the money was planted there as part of a pay off to the Vancouver City Police assisting some senior judges and the Attorney General for British Columbia to remove Premier Glen Clark from  office a year earlier in 1999.   The case took place in December 1999.

Co-incidentaqlly, this policemen knew about the law of "finders keepers" which basically means that if someone abandons property the finder can keep the property.  Finders keeper law is a pretty obscure area of law, so we think the policemen was guided by a lawyer and, probably, he was guided by a Chief Judge or Chief Justice because what happened later is an increbible tale of how the Vancouver City Police, the Attorney General for British Columbia and Provincial Court Judge, Carol Baird Ellan laundered $1 million.

When the case went to court, the Attorney General of British Columbia sent a lawyer to court.  Judge Carol Baird Ellan, reportedly, askled the lawyer (believed to have been George Copely), "Does the Crown with to argue that the funds are proceeds of crime and should be forfeited to the provincial treasury?"      

The lawyer for the government responded "No" and lost the opportunity to recover $1 million dollars for the taxpayers.

In what appears to have been a reward for services rendered, in June of 2000, Judge Carol Baird Ellan was appoined Chief Judge of the Provincial Court of British Columbia.

The appointemnt of the Chief Judge of the Provincial Court of British Columbia is made by the Premier's Office on recommendation of the Attorney General.

Ujjal Dosanjh

The Attorney General of British Columbia in December, 1999, when Judge Carol Baird Ellan made her perverted decision was Mr. Ujjal Dosanjh (shown right).

The Premier of British Columbia in June 2000 when Carol Baird Ellan was appointed Chief Judge of the Provincial Court was Mr. Ujjal Dosanjh.
