Nick, sorry that the other thread became polluted by all that "Wendy Crap". I am sure that she will soon be here as well. Before that happens, could you fill us in on your visit to Canada? If possible could you also give us some contact names, both here in Ontario and in Ottawa.
Thanks!

I agreed to write a report on the state of licensing in Canada before my trip and before I came to learn there is no serious licensing on the horizon. A couple provinces are doing some research on it and Alberta has an actual licensing research committee (which we got Vern on), but that is about it.

If anyone knows of any upcoming meetings contemplating licensing, let me know and I'll be there.

Not much to report folks but keep your eyes and ears open.

You should know that unlike CAHPI-OAHI Nachi does not deny services. CAHPI-OAHI has many problems from financial concerns, to lack of due process, and or denial of due process or proper follow through of complaints.

Anyone seeking National Certification in Ontario should be very concerned about being overseen by a group of directors and committees who seem to get off on power triipping and will even go so far as to break the rules to achieve desired results.

Jason,

When it comes to OAHI or CAHPI, Ray and Roy are the last people anyone should believe. After all, they are both very bitter little boys who are driven by their tremendous egos to try to sound like they have the inside scoop. They are desperate to be viewed as important people charged with disseminating information on OAHI and CAHPI and the NCP.

Problem is, Ray hasn't got a clue what's been going on with OAHI since he was booted off their ethics committee many years back and he's never had a clue about CAHPI. As for Roy, he hasn't been a member since the turn of the century so what does he know - zip. That's why all the stuff they keep dredging up is so dated, because that's all they got.

The fact is, if they didn't have OAHI and CAHPI to whine about, they're contributions would be cut by 90 percent.

This explains where Raymond is heading:

The post above has been made by Dave Bottoms , He was removed from this BB a long time ago and now uses various Phonie Names to post on the NACHI BB. He has been doing Inspections for almost 9 years and still has not done the required 150 to become an RHI . He is very jealous of NACHI and its members and continuies to try and give fales information here and on the Canadiansites .
He has sent me many threating letters that Both the OAHI BOD and Bill Mullen know about . It looks like they are doing nothing regarding this .
Dave has also posted a false letter that he sends people to with RAYMONDS name on it . If you go to that site you will see Ray is listed as a none NACHI member and has made 9 posts and a red sq. . The next letter was popsted by Ray and it has many posts and a green sq .

Nice try, Roy, but you seem to have conveinently forgotten that Ray had registered under about six different names, including your buddy Dave Bottoms, and even his own name.

Here's one that's definitely from Raymond. Green box and full member status. Sounds like he's saying pretty much the same thing he did when he posted under his fake name.
http://www.nachi.org/forum/showthrea...875#post125875

Must be very frustrating being wrong all the time, Roy. I can understand why you are so desperate to have everyone believe you know my real identity. However, like all the crap you post about OAHI and CAHPI, in the end everyone knows you haven't got a clue.

By the way, I thought you were going to put me on your ignore list? How's that working out for you?

[IMG]images/icons/icon1.gif[/IMG] Re: Watch me REALLY screw with OAHI
Dear NACHI Members,

In an effort to show you all just what sort of fools they got running OAHI. I am going to renew my membership with them next year and upgrade it back to full RHI.

The losers and criminals they've got running that association into the ground won't dare do a thing to stop me. They are terrified I'll force them into court and waste tons of their members' money like Roy did a couple of years back.

As I haven't earned a single CEU in three or four years, I am far behind on the minimum number you have to have to maintain your RHI. Do you think they will take me to task on this? Not very likely. They are all afraid to challenge me. They will give me my RHI no questions asked.

Anyone else would have to take a few courses before they were allowed to upgrade, like maybe the Defect Recognition and Reporting Course and definitely the Humber College Ethics Course for Home Inspectors. Not me, though. They don't have the guts to force me to take anything.

Anyone who has as many complaints against them as I do against me would have to resolve them all before being upgraded. You think those a-holes have the balls to make me do that? Again, not very likely. They will sweep my complaints under the rug because they are afraid of me and they don't care about all the victims I've libelled over the years.

Over the past few years I've made a concerted effort to force OAHI to rack up thousands of dollars in legal costs by always sending my frivolous complaints to their lawyer by emails and registered letter. You think OAHI has the balls to make me pay for the legal costs I've caused them to incur? We'll see, but I'd be surprised if they did.

OAHI is also well aware I've been lying about being retired. Any legitimately run association would make me pay the difference between the Retired RHI fee and the full membership fee for the past two years before allowing me to upgrade. They won't, because they know better. They know I can't wait to waste their members' hard-earned money in court against OAHI.

Also, any legitimately run professional association would ask me to remove any reference to "RHI" and "OAHI" from all my electronic and print marketing materials while I resolve all these issues prior to upgrading my RHI. OAHI won't, because they are a bunch of chicken-shiits.

I look forward to getting my RHI back and proving once again that those running OAHI are a bunch weak-kneed criminals and idiots who don't have the guts to fight me in court or stop me from upgrading back to RHI.

Would you trust any word coming out of Raymond's mouth?

Ten things you should know about Ray Wand:
  1. He quit NACHI in a hissy fit when he couldn't get his way with Nick, and then went on to badmouth Nick and NACHI on the inspectorsnews forum.
  2. He claims to be an RHI on his web site, but in reality he is not.
  3. He's been booted off OAHI's ethics committee (he's one of only two people ever booted off a committee in OAHI's history. The other guy got caught stealing funds).
  4. He's been booted off OAHI's members forum more times than any other member in the history of OAHI.
  5. He's had more member complaints lodged against him than any other OAHI member in its history.
  6. He's the first person ever banned for life from the Canuck forum (one of only three to be booted off).
  7. He's insinuated that he messed with someone's credit rating.
  8. He posted an old BBB complaint against Mr Mullen, which make him as much the pond scum as the author of that secret letter.
  9. He's posted under various fake names on this forum, such as g.strachen, d.bottoms, bugmenot, thomas lloyd, misplaced, bugyoutoo, bottomfeeder, and Raymond E Wand.
  10. And now in one last act of hypocrisy and desperation, he's praying OAHI will allow him to upgrade his membership from Retired RHI to full RHI. Wish him luck, I supsect he's going to need it.
So, when it comes to taking informtation with a grain of salt, Raymond Wand is one guy who you simply can't trust. He has zero credibility and zero friends up here in Canada, just like his buddy Roy.

What does my so called principals have to do with your point? Unlike you and your role as Editor in Chief of the Canadian Home Inspector Magazine I don't have to be credible because I am not representing any association, unlike yourself. The fact remains you are the prime example of what I have been imparting on this forum for a long time. That is that OAHI tolerates your diatribes, your threats, tantrums and other abuses because you are fighting some imaginary threat that does not exist on

Its okay to come out of the closet Dave, we all know your history and we know your motives are on Oahi behalf!

It is so unfortunate that Dave and his shadows try to belittle NACHI and the NACHI members who are helping all Canadains by suppling information that would not have come out without your ,mine and a few others constant digging.
I wonder why they do not give out some information too. They try and say we are wrong but give no good answers. We get accused of suppling incorrect information by this group that includes Bill Mullen ,Claude Lawrenson , Dave Bottoms, and those who hide behind phony names .
They all keep trying to say how wrong we are and they in turn give zip.
I do believe it is because we have hit the truth these Self appointed bunch are out for them selves and do not want the Canadian Home Inspector to have any information.
They Bill, and Claude both have tried intimidation and threatened charging us with liable.
It is obvious they do not want to have to go to court where they would under oath have to tell the truth . I sent Dave Bottom,s threats to me to the OAHI BOD and also to Bill Mullens .
It is obvious they condone his threatening letters to me .
Some great leaders to have who want to control the Canadian Home Inspector .

Roy Cooke ...So Glad the NACHI BB gives out the truth
