Climbing Over the Mountains Together
A Petition for Fairness, Humanity, and Accountability
I immigrated to Canada in 1987 after being selected by a Federal Immigration Officer who believed my culinary skills and knowledge could positively contribute to Canadian society.

Like many immigrants, I worked hard to:

build businesses,
support my family,
adapt to a new culture,
and create a better future for my children.
In 2012, after my divorce, I relocated with my two daughters from Montreal to the Village of Standard, Alberta, where I purchased and operated a small hotel business.

Unfortunately, over the following years, I became involved in ongoing municipal disputes, legal conflicts, emotional hardship, financial losses, and mental health struggles.

One major dispute involved a mobile home temporarily placed on my hotel property in 2016. The Village removed it, imposed moving and storage fees, and later added those charges into my property tax account. Over several years, those fees accumulated to approximately $29,000, eventually leading to threats of public auction proceedings against my hotel property.

I believe these actions were inconsistent with the spirit of Alberta Municipal Government legislation, particularly because the municipality of village office of Standard already knew the mobile home had legally fallen under municipal responsibility under Section 610 of the Municipal Government Act.

Another long-term issue involved street snow repeatedly being dumped onto both of my properties for years, causing ongoing damage and additional hardship.

As the disputes escalated, I experienced increasing financial pressure, business losses, emotional exhaustion, and legal difficulties. Eventually, I could no longer afford legal counsel and became self-represented while also trying to support my daughters through university.

In June 2025, due to serious health and mental health concerns, I was emergently relocated from the Village of Standard to Calgary through a senior housing support program.

Shortly afterward, notices connected to Alberta Land Titles were placed on my properties, locks were changed, and my realtor and liquidator were unable to access the properties to continue selling business and family assets. And, they just simply stick both of my properties without serve me...

Another major difficulty involved the handling of related complaints and legal proceedings. What initially began as a harassment-related criminal complaint was later redirected into civil proceedings. As a self-represented individual facing language barriers, financial hardship, and emotional exhaustion, I often felt discouraged and overwhelmed by complicated legal procedures, technical rules, and the inability to continue affording legal counsel.

I attempted to seek assistance through:

Alberta Human Rights processes,
the Alberta Ombudsman,
legal proceedings,
and other government channels.
However, despite years of effort, I often felt unable to fully present my concerns within systems that are extremely difficult for ordinary self-represented individuals to navigate.

Over time, these experiences deeply affected:

my business,
my financial stability,
my family life,
and my mental health.
Today, after surviving emotional collapse, isolation, hospitalization, and years of legal struggles, I continue sharing my experiences publicly — not only for myself, but also for:

immigrants,
self-represented individuals,
vulnerable people,
and ordinary citizens struggling silently inside complicated systems.
My goal is not hatred or revenge.

My goal is:

fairness,
accountability,
humanity,
compassion,
and constructive public discussion.
I hope my experiences may encourage:

better communication between systems and citizens,
stronger mental health awareness,
fair treatment of self-represented individuals,
and greater understanding toward immigrants adapting to Canadian society.
Because many people around us are silently climbing mountains we cannot see.

I also attempted to seek assistance through the Alberta Human Rights Commission and especially the Alberta Ombudsman regarding my concerns connected to municipal conduct and related investigations. However, I continued feeling unheard and overwhelmed by the systems and procedures involved.

At the same time, my personal and family life was also deeply affected during these years of struggle. Due to emotional, financial, and living difficulties connected to the ongoing situation, my children were eventually relocated through the school system into foster care support. During this period of loneliness and emotional vulnerability, I also experienced serious relationship and family breakdowns that created additional hardship in my life.

Despite everything, I continue speaking publicly not only for myself, but also for:

immigrants,
minority communities,
self-represented individuals,
and ordinary people struggling silently inside complicated systems.
My hope is to encourage:

fairness,
accountability,
humanity,
mental health awareness,
and better understanding between systems and vulnerable communities.

一起翻越人生的大山
一份关于公平、人性与社会责任的请愿书
1987年，我被加拿大联邦移民官特别选中移民加拿大。当时移民官相信，我在烹饪与餐饮方面的专业知识与技能，能够为加拿大社会带来积极贡献。

和许多移民一样，我努力：

创业经营，
抚养家庭，
适应新的文化环境，
并为孩子创造更好的未来。
2012年，在离婚后，我带着两个女儿从蒙特利尔搬迁到阿尔伯塔省 Standard 村，并购买经营一家小型酒店。

然而，在随后的多年里，我逐渐卷入持续不断的市政纠纷、法律冲突、经济损失、精神压力以及心理健康危机。

其中一个主要争议，涉及2016年一辆临时放置在酒店物业上的活动房屋（mobile home）。村政府将其移走，并向我收取搬运费与储存费，之后又将这些费用加入到我的酒店地税账户中。几年下来，这些费用累计约达29,000加元，并最终发展成以公开拍卖酒店物业相威胁的法律程序。

我认为，这些做法违背了阿尔伯塔省《Municipal Government Act（市政管理法）》的立法精神。特别是根据该法第610条，村政府其实早已知道该活动房屋在法律上已属于市政府管理责任范围。

另一个长期问题，是多年来道路积雪持续被倾倒到我的两个物业上，对物业、经营与生活造成长期影响与额外困难。

随着纠纷不断升级，我逐渐承受越来越严重的：

财务压力，
生意损失，
情绪崩溃，
与法律困境。
最终，我已无法继续负担律师费用，只能成为 self-represented（自我诉讼代表），同时还需要承担两个女儿大学教育的经济责任。

2025年6月，由于严重的身体与心理健康问题，我被紧急从 Standard 村转移到卡尔加里的长者支持住房项目。

不久之后，与 Alberta Land Titles 有关的通知被直接张贴在我的物业上，物业锁也被更换，导致我的地产经纪人与清算人员无法继续进入物业出售家庭与商业资产，而这些通知甚至没有正式送达给我本人。

另一个重大困难，是相关投诉与法律程序的处理方式。原本涉及骚扰的刑事案件，后来被转向民事程序。作为一名存在语言障碍、经济困难、精神压力沉重的 self-represented 当事人，我经常在复杂的法律程序、技术规则以及无力继续聘请律师的现实下，感到极度无助与压倒性的压力。

我曾尝试通过以下渠道寻求帮助：

Alberta Human Rights（阿省人权委员会）
Alberta Ombudsman（阿省监察专员）
法律程序
以及其他政府机构
然而，尽管多年不断努力，我依然经常感到，普通 self-represented 公民很难真正有效地在这些复杂系统中完整表达自己的处境与问题。

这些经历长期严重影响了：

我的生意，
我的经济状况，
我的家庭生活，
以及我的心理健康。
今天，在经历情绪崩溃、自我隔离、住院治疗以及多年法律挣扎后，我仍然选择继续公开分享自己的经历——不仅仅是为了我自己，也为了：

移民群体，
少数族裔，
self-represented individuals（自我诉讼者），
以及那些在复杂制度中默默挣扎的普通人。
我的目标不是仇恨，更不是报复。

我真正希望推动的是：

公平，
问责，
人性，
同理心，
心理健康关注，
以及社会与弱势群体之间更好的理解与沟通。
因为在我们身边，其实有很多人，正在默默翻越着别人看不见的人生大山。

请支持并分享我的请愿书
