The respondents are various professionals who obtained judgments against the appellant in 2004, to which a ten-year prescriptive period applies under art. 2924 of the Civil Code of Québec. Certain actions interrupted prescription between 2005 and 2007, after which prescription started running again.A bailiff served a notice of execution on the appellant in 2016, which authorized the bailiff to seize the appellant's movable property. However, the bailiff concluded that the appellant's movable property was exempt from seizure pursuant to section 89 of the Indian Act. The bailiff later had discussions with the appellant's Grand Chief and was informed that there was no property outside of its land base. The bailiff did not prepare and file minutes of seizure. Subsequently, the appellant informed the respondents that it held a property outside of its land base but that it was exempt from seizure. The respondents registered a legal hypothec against that property.The appellant sought a declaration that the prescriptive period applicable to the judgment had expired before the respondents registered the hypothec. The trial judge concluded that prescription had been interrupted in November 2016 when the respondents served a notice of execution on the appellant. The actions of the respondents amounted to a judicial application that interrupted prescription per article 2892 C.C.Q. Although the seizure was unfruitful, it had not been dismissed or annulled by a court, in which case prescription would not have been interrupted, per article 2894 C.C.Q. The Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal and affirmed the trial judge's decision. Argued Date 2025-03-19 Keywords Prescription — Extinctive prescription — Interruption of prescription — Whether service of notice of execution interrupted prescription — Whether service of notice of execution amounts to unsuccessful seizure if there are no assets available to seize — Whether section 89 of the Indian Act applies so as to render appellant's movable property unseizable — Civil Code of Québec, arts. 2892, 2894 — Indian Act, R.S.C. 1985, c. I-5, s. 89.

Ayesha Adamo is an academic, performing artist, and filmmaker currently working towards a PhD in Religion at Rice University under Jeffrey J. Kripal. Her dissertation project explores fluid cosmological ideas, both historically and in current quantum mechanics. She holds an MA in Religious Studies from Universiteit van Amsterdam's Centre for the History of Hermetic Philosophy & Related Currents and is a graduate of Barnard College, Columbia University, with a degree in music. Rumor has it she was once in an Asian pop band on EMI Records. Her most recent articles can be found in Anthropology of Consciousness and Religious Studies Review. She is also an ordained Hierophant and Grand Chief of Temple of Thelema.In this discussion, we first look at Georges Bataille and his interpretation of the Acéphale. Bataille (1897-1962) was a philosopher and intellectual, interested in surrealism, and anti- fascist, who, in 1937 founded two groups with the goal of exploring how combinations of power and ‘the sacred' were at play in society. The first group was called the College of Sociology that gave lectures (exoteric group); the second group was Acéphale, an esoteric ‘secret society.' Additionally, a public review by the same name, whose emblem was a headless man, was published in 1936. Ayesha talks a bit about this Acéphale emblem and what this represents, including remarks about the connections to Aleister Crowley's concept of The Abyss; the notion of receptivity, and the difference between the ‘magical' and ‘mystical' currents. Moving from Bataille to George Balanchine, the famous choreographer who co-founded the New York City Ballet Company in 1948; Balanchine is probably most known for his plotless ballets and minimalism, and has a famous quote, “Don't think Dear, just do!' Ayesha shares how are she is linking these two figures and the concept of the Acéphale. She is currently thinking about how the meditative state is the artist's state as well.Ayesha then expands on her 2023 article, “The League of Endarkenment: Hakim Bey and the Way of Disappearance into Nature” talking about “Endarkenment” and how this fits into this same area of headlessness, the mandrake, and disappearance.Lastly, taken from her paper abstract, Ayesha talks more about what she means by “the open fluidity of no-mind”  and “the performance of headless meditation.”*Note 1: I mistakenly say ‘Endarkment' instead of ‘Endarkenment' (my apologies!); plus, around the 29:00 minute mark, the name ‘D.T. Suzuki' is unfortunately cut off due to audio issues. Please find more information about Suzuki in the program notes below.*Note 2 (Not Ignoring the Elephant in the Room): Peter Lamborn Wilson, who wrote under the name ‘Hakim Bey,' was a controversial figure, and unfortunately, rumors have arisen surrounding some of his writings regarding NAMBLA. Accusations were made by a particular website (run by one person, a fellow anarchist) against Wilson, and due to the nature of the internet, damaging assumptions were made. This article A Tribute to Peter Lamborn Wilson - The Brooklyn Rail is a collection of testimonials, and discusses this matter in more detail, giving much needed context.PROGRAM NOTES:Ayesha Adamo | Student | The People of Rice | Rice UniversityAyesha Adamo | Rice University - Academia.eduInstagramAyesha Adamohttps://www.hds.harvard.edu/faculty-research/programs-and-centers/program-evolution-spirituality#:~:text=The%20Program%20for%20the%20Evolution%20of%20Spirituality%20%28PES%29,also%20prepares%20students%20for%20ministry%20in%20these%20mov (More information forthcoming regarding this program and how to join remotely!)It Takes a Lunatic | Officiële Netflix-websiteORGCHAOSMIK - GUSTAF BROMSD.

During her acceptance speech, Kyra Wilson told the chiefs in attendance she was aware of all the issues currently facing First Nations people in Manitoba and confidently told those gathered that “we will tackle every single one.” Wilson was elected in the first round of voting for grand chief of the Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs (AMC) on Jan. 29. The AMC held an election after the sudden death of Cathy Merrick in September 2024. Wilson said that straightforwardness is pretty much how she's been for much of her life thanks in part to how her mother raised her.

“What do some of the most prominent and successful Indigenous artists, leaders and professors have in common? They aren't Indigenous. There are hundreds of cases of Indigenous identity fraud that we know about, and likely thousands that we do not. So why do these so-called “pretendians” do it? How do they pull it off? And what happens when they are exposed?” (From the Pretendians Podcast Description) My jaw dropped multiple times while visiting with Robert Jago (Kwantlen First Nation & Nooksack) & Angel Ellis (Muscogee (Creek) Nation), the hosts of the hot new podcast, Pretendians. In this episode you'll especially learn about "Grand Chief" Guillaume Carle, “a French Canadian who made a small fortune creating his own fake First Nation and issuing phony Indian Status Cards to thousands of other identity thieves.” Pretendians are individuals who are non-Native, but pose as Native in order to gain attention and often times, money and fame.

A former chief of the Thunder Bay Police Service facing serious charges by the Ontario Provincial Police confirmed the long suspected systemic racism within the police force. This is not the first time that there has been a call for a more competent police in northern Ontario and First Nation leaders are now sending their decisive call to disband the Thunder Bay police.

CBC NL has learned the German Air Force is requesting to bring low-level flying back to 5 Wing Goose Bay.

Grand Chief Simon Pokue shares his reaction. 

We welcome back to the Wild For Change podcast Grand Chief Judy Wilson, a member of the Secwepemc Nation to discuss the importance of our interconnection with nature.Nothing is separate.  For example, more than 70 of the 100 crops responsible for providing 90% of the world's food are pollinated by bees. But the bee population is crashing from the use of pesticides.  Understanding the interdependence between us and nature is essential for our future. If we look at the wild spaces on earth, everything we have come to know in modern society originated here such as the creation of civilizations, food, medicine, and our dwellings. These wild spaces are also home to many species of wildlife.But these wild spaces have been dramatically downsized due to human growth, yet they are necessary for us to thrive.  The biodiversity and health of ecosystems worldwide are essential for our future.  It is also important to note that other species like wolves and elephants help maintain ecosystems' health and biodiversity.  Because of Grand Chief Judy's extensive traditional ecological knowledge and her close relationship with nature, I felt it would be enlightening to hear about her view on nature and to learn how to foster care and compassion for this precious life we all share on earth. As we went further into our conservation about reconnecting with nature, Grand Chief Judy Wilson made a point to say that when we reconnect back to ourselves, we can more easily reconnect with nature;“When you're more conscious aware of yourself, then you're more conscious of the interconnection to Mother Earth, the water, all of creation and your reconnection and the interconnection of your purpose, place, and role in this world…”Website: http://www.wildforchange.com Twitter: @WildForChange Facebook: /wildforchange Instagram: wildforchange

"I am a hands-on, ‘get-er-done' person willing to climb the mountains that are before us. I believe in planning and ensuring we build a strong foundation. I believe in policy and regulatory processes that govern and guide our institutions - BUT our policies should be friendly, allowing for innovation and creativity. I believe in negotiating the best deals possible. But at the end of the day, let's stop the talking and all the rhetoric, let's see some production and let's seize the opportunities that are in our grasp." Larry brings over 25 years of dynamic leadership of working with First Nations in Canada, Native American Tribes in the United States, Arctic Inuit, Maori of New Zealand and Aborigine of Australia. He has held key positions in political leadership, private sector corporations and non-profit organizations.

On this episode National Chief Perry Bellegarde reaches Gwich'in Grand Chief Bobbie Joe Greenland-Morgan in Inuvik, NWT to talk about the potentially devastating decision by the Trump Administration to open up the Alaska National Wildlife Refuge to oil and gas development. Known as ANWR, this Arctic refuge is 19 million acres of pristine wilderness, roughly the size of New Brunswick. It is also the calving grounds to the Porcupine Caribou herd, which has been sustainably hunted for centuries by the Gwich'in people on both sides of what is now the Canada-US Border. Gwich'in leaders have warned about the environmental damage that drilling will have in the refuge, including the very real danger that it will decimate one of the last large and healthy Caribou herds left in the Arctic, one which the Gwich'in people still rely on as a crucial food source, as well as being one of their central cultural touchstones.A special thanks goes out to the Red Dog Singers of Treaty 4 territory in Saskatchewan for providing the theme music for this podcast.The Ahkameyimok Podcast is produced in Ottawa by David McGuffin of Explore Podcast Productions.
