Chronicles of Twatrick: Possible identity fraud?

Here's a short followup to that last post related to an anonymous commenter describing how someone (and it's unclear who) filed a bogus complaint against him with his employer. NOTE: There is of yet no proof that this was Patrick Ross, but here's what just occurred to me upon rereading that comment, particularly this snippet [emphasis added]:

Due to posts on my Facebook page, he knows where I work. Someone has called and spoke to my main superior and lodged a false complaint. It wasn't known until after I was called in to a meeting and almost given a written warning, that it was fake. When the alleged incident took place I was in another city and couldn't have attended the accuser's business location causing issues over not purchasing products from us.

As I read this, the complaint would seem to be suggesting that the anonymous commenter ("AC") visited someone else's business and caused a commotion, apparently complaining that that company was not purchasing product from AC's employer. Is that how you read it? Because here's the problem.

Even if the bogus complaint was made anonymously, it seems that the only people who would be in the position to make such a complaint would be the owners or managers of that business; this strongly suggests that, even if the person who filed the complaint with AC's employer did not leave a name, they would have claimed to at least work for that company. Are you with me so far? And here's why that's important.

Because misrepresenting your identity for the purpose of harassment is a criminal offense in Canada called "identity fraud" (not to be confused with "identity theft"), as described here:

Note well that identify fraud does not require any attempt to steal or procure anything of value; rather, one of its characteristics (as I have highlighted) is to personate another entity simply for the purpose or harassment. So If Patrick (or someone else) called AC's employer and falsely (mis)represented themselves as a representative of that other company for the purpose of getting AC in trouble, that is absolutely textbook identity fraud according to the Criminal Code of Canada, which suggests it might be worthwhile to chase this down to see if someone committed an actual crime.

Again, this is all speculation but if Patrick Ross did indeed call AC's employer and misrepresent his identity in order to cause inconvenience to AC, that is pretty much a slam-dunk case of identity fraud, for which, uh oh ...

If I was AC, I would be calling a lawyer. And absolutely filing a police report. But that's just me.

Chronicles of Twatrick: A life swirling down the drain.

As a recent commenter looking for advice left another comment on this blog, assuming it was meant to be posted, I am going to give it some coverage here so one and all are aware what they are getting into when engaging with Lloydminster's Patrick Ross (minor editing):

I called FluidPro Oilfield Services in Calgary and they say that Patrick Ross doesn't work for them directly, but could work on their jobsites through a 3rd party contract vendor.

I posted what I said in your post to a Lloydminster forum and a woman messaged me and said she believes Patrick lives between Edmonton and hotels he gets issued near job sites he works. She knew the family and Patrick has been more than troublesome his entire life. Most jobs he was hired at in Lloydminster ended because he would harass people to the point working with him became untenable. He was released from a theatre he worked at doing small plays because he became obsessed with a female director which ended with the police getting involved.

She told me Patrick has had trouble with the police his entire life for harassing people including when he went to school at the University of Alberta. I explained everything I've gone through with Patrick online; she conveyed her sympathies but told me he's done far worse to others and to expect more as I ignore him.

I must ask again how he's never been criminally charged to this point in his life. He has a long and sordid history of harassment and online stalking, and people have wanted to press charges. Do you know if he has a documented mental illness or disability that makes pursuing criminal charges against him unviable?

Due to everything Patrick has done, I've closed my accounts on X and Facebook. It became useless to try and figure out if he was impersonating one of my friends on those networks. It was also apparent he's getting accounts that have followers and history on those networks to use to harass me. I've been told people can purchase these accounts for as little as $4 online.

Patrick has a very unhealthy obsession with people that out his nonsense opinions on X. When he's publicly challenged and loses, he turns into the worst temper tantrum toddler in the history of mankind. Before reading your blog, I assumed he was a teenager who liked trolling people, but I learned he's over 40 years old. The worst mistake I've made in my lifetime was engaging with him online. Had I known this is what that interaction would lead to, I would have simply left him to speak his horrible takes to the 30 or so people that view his trash.

If you can offer any assistance with ridding this man from my life, please convey it. Due to posts on my Facebook page, he knows where I work. Someone has called and spoke to my main superior and lodged a false complaint. It wasn't known until after I was called in to a meeting and almost given a written warning, that it was fake. When the alleged incident took place I was in another city and couldn't have attended the accuser's business location causing issues over not purchasing products from us.

Patrick is invading my life. Most times I can't prove it's him because contact has become indirect through other parties. I'm stumped how to untangle this mess. Would an apology to him help at all? I still have an avenue to stop the deletion of my X account and could post an apology if that would appease him. I have 9 days remaining to unlock my account.

I'm not sure what advice to give, other than to suggest that calling one's employer and lodging a fake complaint absolutely falls under the definition of defamation, so I would file a police report ASAP and, if you're feeling ambitious, get legal advice. I can give you all of the contact information I have for Patrick; drop me a note at canadiancynic@yahoo.ca.

P.S. I'd like the contact info for the woman you were talking to; invite her to drop me an email if she is so inclined.

P.P.S. It would be useful to get the name of that third-party vendor that Patrick works through; if FluidPro refuses to provide it, that's why you should file a police report -- so you have the weight of a police report to compel disclosure. Having a genuine police report in hand will make everything you do far more difficult to ignore.

Chronicles of Twatrick: The creepy stalking continues.

From a recent post, here's a comment that deserves wider coverage, and I'll address it on the weekend. In the meantime, I know exactly what this person is talking about -- Patrick has a long and creepy history of stalking and doxxing people he doesn't like.

More later.

I recently had an unfortunate interaction with Patrick Ross on X where he was outright lying about an issue and I called him out on it. Things escalated pretty quickly after Patrick started throwing out data points which only proved his position was wrong, but he somehow did mental gymnastics to convey he was right. He wasn't. It was embarrassing for him and that's when the harassment started. Now he's creating accounts to keep the conversation going because I blocked him from interacting with me.

How does someone get rid of this guy? I've read everything you've written about Patrick along with other blogs that I can only assume are friends of yours or people who've had to deal with him in the past. I don't understand how he's never been charged with online harassment or stalking, nor do I understand how he's able to get away with not paying damages to you while filing dishonest lawsuits against others. As you've likely have the most experience dealing with Patrick, I come hat in hand looking for advice.

Instead of emailing you, I'm asking here because I'm sure someone else is dealing with the same situation and your advice could prove extremely valuable. Patrick has now invaded my Facebook account and before long I have no doubt he'll start attacking my wife and family. He escalates so quickly and he's extremely devious by impersonating people I've friended on different platforms. It's gotten to the point I don't trust that I'm talking to the person I should be talking to, or if it's Patrick impersonating another individual. He's attained information that I've only said in private communications with others and used it against me. I've tried contacting the RCMP but they've less than helpful. A Constable I spoke to in Grande Prairie who's dealt with Patrick in the past informed me that it's his belief Patrick is extremely mentally ill and he's not seeking treatment to mitigate his behavior issues.

My second question to you is, you've been chasing Patrick for a decade. What chances do you give yourself to extract damages from Patrick for the entire amount he owes you within his lifetime? He doesn't look healthy by any stretch of the imagination and while he purports to working out at gyms, just walking in the building to sit down to ogle women shouldn't classify as a workout? Does it? He's far too obese and eats a disgusting calorie buffet for a diet to ever effect any meaningful weight loss on his frame. With every meal he's shortening his lifespan.

From your blog the appearance is that Patrick owes you over $120,000. He doesn't appear to have any appreciable assets to seize and doesn't have ties to anyone meaningful in his life that could possibly help you gain information regarding where he hangs his hat or is employed. From the outside looking in, and you could certainly have information you haven't released to the public, what odds do you realistically give yourself to get $40,000? $50,000? $75,000? $100,000? Full payment from Patrick? Personally from everything I've about the man, I'd put your odds around the same as 3 major lottery wins in a month. I'm not trying to be negative to your plight, but Patrick leads a nomadic lifestyle largely based on where he can reliably watch wrestling each week or a free UFC pay per view. Pinning him down to allow agencies to extract funds from him seems impossible.

Last question is, how come no one that Patrick is currently suing has filed for dismissal to bring him before a court? Wouldn't that be the quickest way to have Patrick atone for his past actions and pay all awards you've been granted?

I know that was a long read but I don't understand how Patrick has gotten away with this behavior for so long. Is this simply how bad our legal system in Canada has become? Has he fallen through the cracks? The entire life of Patrick Ross baffles the law abiding minds of regular folks like me.

Here is one suggestion that might be effective: It's possible that Patrick still works for FluidPRO Oilfield Services; you should consider calling their Human Resources department and filing an official complaint against Patrick, describing in detail Patrick's harassment. (I would also specifically ask for a contact in the legal department.)

I'll have more to say this weekend, but I think you should start there.

P.S. If anyone has more current information about where Patrick works these days, let the rest of us know.

Chronicles of Twatrick: Happy new year and happy interestversary!

It is a brand new year and, more importantly, we're now well into a new year wherein undischarged bankrupt and vexatious litigant Patrick "I'm smart enough to be my own lawyer" Ross has still failed to proceed with his utterly meritless August, 2022 defamation action against me, so here's my plan.

While the courts are generally accommodating of self-represented dingbats, they do eventually run out of patience, so I'm thinking that I will let this molder until August of this year, making it a full three years since Patrick filed, then failed to follow through. It will be remarkably similar to the situation wherein Patrick filed a worthless appeal of his 2014 bankruptcy ruling, then let it sit for three and a half years, whereupon I filed to have it dismissed as abandoned, and wherein the judge ruled that Patrick's 3.5 year delay in proceeding with that appeal was both "inordinate" and "inexcusable" and granted my motion.

So it seems that three years is a good metric for what a court considers just wasting someone's and the court's time, and it's highly unlikely that Patrick is going to do anything about this since, as we have already established, he would have to disclose his whereabouts and contact information and, given how many people are looking for him, I doubt he's ready to do that.

Finally, I am always in the market for the latest scoop on where Patrick is hanging and where he is working (Fluid Pro? elsewhere?), so keep those cards and letters coming in, kids.

Oh, right ... given this ruling from a few years back, Patrick now owes me in the neighbourhood of $125,000:

an amount increasing by several hundreds per month, and that doesn't include what he still owes pursuant to his Conditional Discharge Order (another $25,000 or so).

I'm guessing that 2025 is not going to be a fun year for Patrick.

P.S. It's worth pointing out how Patrick, who once fancied himself as an up-and-coming journalist and online pundit, is easily one of the most dishonest human beings on the planet.

Years ago (before he turned his life into total shit), Patrick contributed to at least one online right-wing rag, and clearly saw himself as a budding conservative provocateur. To this day, he describes himself as a "podcaster" (HA HA!!) and "online political commentator," so it's mirth-making to see just how sleazy he can be.

Regarding the recent Mark Carney limo hatchet job, despite all evidence to the contrary, Patrick descends into pure derangement:

So let's dissect this, shall we? First, it's been established that there is absolutely nothing linking Carney to the limo that appeared briefly at his presser; even the limo company insists they have no idea who ordered the car, but Patrick -- being the principled investigative journo that he is -- is uninterested in a total lack of evidence. But it gets worse.

See, it's also established that the limo showed up about an hour before Carney's presser to pick someone up. Given that the presser was still an hour off, what possible sense would it make for Mark Carney to order a limo to pick him up at that location before his presser had even started!?!?

This is the level of Patrick's dishonesty, so it's entertaining to remember that he once upon a time had grand designs of being a popular and influential online source of conservative punditry; instead, here he is, spewing trivially refutable nonsense out of a sense of childish petulance.

If Patrick ever wants to improve his lot in life, he might start by not being so much of an obvious hack.

Chronicles of Twatrick: Nothing really new at the moment.

I'll have more to say in a couple of days at the next interestversary but, in the meantime, if you haven't seen Patrick Ross' moist panty adoration of quack and grifter Dr. Jordan Peterson, well, have at it. There is something amusing in watching a 40-something loser wax poetic about Jungian psychology and archetypes when he couldn't even get a simple sociology degree after seven years, and his life can be reasonably described as a dumpster fire of a train wreck of a plane crash.

In any event, check back in a couple of days.

Chronicles of Twatrick: Jordan Peterson fanboyishness activate!

As a short followup to the last post (wherein I refer the long-suffering reader to a tedious 18-minute bromance of Patrick Ross directed at deranged quack Dr. Jordan Peterson), there is another savage beatdown of Peterson, which I refer to here.

I would normally say that it is beyond comprehension that any sentient life form could take Peterson seriously, but this is Patrick Ross we're talking about.

P.S. In the midst of a gaggle of tendentious and meaningless Jordan Peterson quotes, it seems that our Patrick might pay close attention to quote 52:

“To suffer terribly and to know yourself as the cause: that is Hell.”

I guess even the good doctor gets it right once in a while.

Chronicles of Twatrick: Wonder incel powers activate!

I can only imagine that this latest pathetically sad podcast from undischarged bankrupt and Dr. Jordan Peterson fan boi Patrick "Stud Muffin Chick Magnet" Ross is aimed at me, given that I have on occasion pointed out how the good doctor is an ignorant quack of the highest order. As of this typing, I made it all of 1:13 into Patrick's podcast before I had to stop -- perhaps I'll watch the rest of it later after drinking heavily.

I could go on at length about how Peterson is a purveyor of pseudo-scientific horseshit of the highest order, but I will say simply that, for someone who is convinced that Jordan Peterson is the answer to living a full and happy life, Patrick's life is a train wreck of a leaking septic tank of a dumpster fire, which might make him ponder whether Peterson's life advice is really doing him any good. All evidence to the contrary.

P.S. There are numerous brutal eviscerations of Dr. Peterson online; here is just one of them. I could supply a dozen more just as savage and on-point.

OH, DEAR GOD ... I sucked it up and am viewing the rest of Patrick's unwatchable podcast and he makes an utter fool of himself starting at the 12:50 mark by insisting that Dr. Benzo Boy must be taken seriously because "he has taught at Harvard!" This is particularly ironic since Patrick himself makes it clear that a rhetorical appeal to authority is a logical no-no:

And yet, there's Patrick, falling face-first into his own discredited argument. It is not a mystery why Patrick, even after seven years, failed to get a degree from the U of Alberta.

BONUS TRACK: While trying to go all intellectual, Patrick informs us that he is currently slogging his way through Peterson's latest pompously-titled train wreck of a tome, "We Who Wrestle With God." Mercifully, The Guardian saves us the trouble of caring what it says. But this revelation by Patrick gives us the opportunity to check if Peterson's advice imparts any practical value since, once Patrick finishes it, we can check in on whether Patrick begins to behave any more like an actual grown-up and take responsibility for the shitfest that is his life, or whether he continues to act like a petulant, vindictive 12-year-old.

So let's give Patrick some time to finish the book, at which point we might have some confirmation as to whether Dr. Peterson's life advice is worth the paper it's Crayola'ed on.
