Ongoing Concerns re Lionel Bouchard's Mental State.
Lionel Bouchard has proven he is incapable to stand against pressure of his abusive children whereby Lionel Bouchard's life as he knew it was subjected to all-out attack after his fall on ice in December 2005!
Lionel Bouchard is akin to a "jellyfish without a backbone" who turns into a "cannibal" devouring his two daughters - using and abusing them after getting what he wanted from them!
Even his his sister Madeleine Fillion was angered by her brother's inability to stand up to his evil children!
Lionel Bouchard would not listen to his former fiancée Susie Waldner who stood by him all those years!
Instead of standing on the truth and his legal rights - Lionel Bouchard due to his guilt and unwillingness to stand up for his legal rights - himself - becomes the abuser turning on his family and friends who support him in his quest to remain in his lawful home, enlisting the support of others - Peggy Keough, Margaret Bouchard to support him in court and to Age and Opportunity based on his fear of abusers retaliation and making good on their ongoing endless threats.
In August 2008, both Susie Waldner, Johnny Lafreniere and his daughter from B.C. noted the extreme nervousness and fear Lionel expressed by Lionel himself after being confronted by both Andy Bouchard and Mike Slegers in St. Francois at the time the judge was ready to award him his life estate to his home.
The logical assumption is that Lionel Bouchard was physically threatened as it is well documented throughout the website that both Andy Bouchard and Mike Slegers are known for their extreme and volatile tempers which led to "No Contact" orders in the past, and in Mike Slegers' case, stalking his ex-wife in the alley behind her home with a gun!
Affidavit - Lionel Bouchard - February 2009
Despite being signing numerous affidavits, with respect to the length three of his children had gone to ensure that Lionel Bouchard did not return to his home, including knowledge of Andy Bouchard trying to have him committed, in August 2008, Lionel Bouchard went against his lawyer and daughter in that he entered into negotiations with these abusers - only to have to be rescued from their clutches and escorted out of the province to B.C. for his personal safety.
Lionel Bouchard admitted he had been drugged, having no recollection of some of the events after being in Andy Bouchard's company after meeting Andy Bouchard at the Elie Homestead where Andy Bouchard had a mental health officer do an assessment on his father days prior to being awarded possession of his home in court!!!
Some of the small sampling of abuse Lionel Bouchard had already endured, includes being:
- lied to at the hospital with respect to why he was being forced to move
- being taken to a psychiatrist on several occasions by Andy Bouchard
- having his personal belongings destroyed while hospitalized
- having to hide at the hospital while being pressured by Andy Bouchard and Lynda Staub to sign
paperwork while recovering from a concussion
- being tricked into signing a power of attorney which he revoked immediately
- after Andy Bouchard opening a personal injury suit without his
knowledge then having the claim moved to Andy's lawyer's office
- theft of his cellular telephone
- charging Andy with theft
- experiencing Andy's explosive temper
- being taken financial advantage by Andy in purchasing the centennial farm
- being evicted from his home in February 2006
- not having his rent paid in full as per their agreement
-Andy in a rage after discovering the power of attorney had been revoked and oldest and youngest sisters exposing his plot to evict their father from his home of over fifty
years
- having been "guarded" by a security firm hired to sleep overnight at the St. Eustache Manor while Andy Bouchard and his family were in Europe to ensure he did not make contact with daughter who he knew would assist him get legal representation as recommended by the Judge in Portage who denied them Peace Bond against sister of B.C.
- having no recollection of applying for a Peace Bond against his daughter of B.C.
- being coerced on his birthday January 2008 into signing documents he did not agree with,
Paragraph 23 of the above-noted Affidavit
1. January 30, 2006 In the first instance of concern whereby Lionel Bouchard had the legal right to insist that his daughter from B.C. remain in his home as his guest. Yet Lionel caved in to the demands of the Lynda Staub and Claire Demery in insisting the daughter who saved him from being committed by Andy Bouchard leave his home and spend the night in a motel in Winnipeg, this after she was successful in securing an agreement stating Lionel Bouchard could remain in his home. In direct violation of a "No Contact Order", Andy Bouchard pre-signed an agreement despite the order on January 29, 2006 at the Headingley RCMP Detachment after being arrested for two counts of theft from his father and sister at his father's home in Elie.
2. February 14, 2006 The second instance of concern was when Lionel Bouchard, though admittedly drugged, was unsuccessful in this Peace Bond February 14, 2006, application against daughter of B.C. who had prevented Andy Bouchard from committing their father.
3. March 2006 In the third instance of concern, Lionel Bouchard was driven by Andy Bouchard to charge this daughter with "assault" which he later admitted did not occur, this under oath and then verbally to his daughter while living with her three 1/2 years in B.C. Lionel Bouchard had nine months to recant his charge - but failed to do so!
4. May 2006 - A fourth instance of concern was in May 2006, Lionel Bouchard at the Court House after daughter flew in from B.C. to deal with a warrant for this "alleged" assault (which Lionel Bouchard denied under oath had ever occurred at trial in January 2007) as well as Lynda Staub's alleged assault charges, whereby naive to the legal system, she had waived legal representation at the Headingley RCMP station falsely alleging this daughter required a mental evaluation which the family purportedly had been seeking for years,. She was deemed a "flight risk" at a time when she flown in after a busy tax preparing season, rented a room and car for the night, only to find herself held for three days in Winnipeg Remand not anticipating the puppet-master Andy Bouchard had already recruited other siblings to write letters to the RCMP against her based on deceitful information and which one letter was recanted after a sister from Calgary later learned she had been duped by Andy Bouchard after his three calls to her, the first ever alleging false accusations which she later learned were totally false and that he was the mastermind behind evicting his father from his home!
At the Peace Bond in February 2006, Lynda Staub in her testimony under oath, claimed that up until when her father fell, everyone had gotten along very well and there had been no issues with this sister until such time as Andy Bouchard and Lynda Staub evicted their father from his home after his slip on ice and hospitalization for a concussion which they took full advantage of for Andy Bouchard to put up the farm for sale, dishonouring a life estate agreement Andy Bouchard entered into with his father in September 2002 at a time when Andy Bouchard pressured his father to sell the second half of the farm, conversation overhead by Lionel Bouchard's fiancee at the time.
On February 14, 2006, Andy Bouchard under oath also stated that he did not see this sister from B.C. but for every three years (at family reunions in Manitoba) contradicting, both contradicting their statements to the RCMP which caused 18 investigations on record.
5. Summer 2006 - The fifth incidence of concern is that for a whole year, Lionel Bouchard went around the community claiming his daughter had mental issues. When the promises Andy Bouchard had made did not come to pass, Lionel Bouchard then admitted to his sister Madeleine Fillion and to his cousin Jules Chartrand and others that Andy Bouchard was the biggest crook around!
6. June 2006 - The sixth incidence of concern is after Lionel Bouchard then tried to make contact with daughter in B.C. unaware he was of Andy Bouchard's 32 typed names placed on a "No Contact". Lionel Bouchard requested through Crown McDuff that it be removed after informing her of the truth that Andy Bouchard and Lynda Staub had fabricated their stories to evict him from his home. It appears that the abusers were informed of his request as Lionel Bouchard did not contact his sister any further. Lionel's
request to remove the "No Contact" which was granted was based on his request through his daughter in Calgary and granddaughter in B.C. and removed in Port Coquitlam, B.C.
Affidavit - Lionel Bouchard - May 2009
Lionel Bouchard's affidavit, confirmation of the abuse he was forced to endure at the hands of his cold-hearted, vindictive son Andy Bouchard.
Affidavit - Lionel Bouchard - October 24, 2009
(signed in Winnipeg)
In this affidavit, Lionel Bouchard claims that if it had not been for his daughter, he would have been already been committed by Andy Bouchard without anyone's knowledge of Andy's manipulating the system to use the medical profession to lock him up in Portage La Prairie as
Andy Bouchard admitted to Susie Waldner he had planned in January 2006.
7. October 2011 - In a seventh incidence of concern, Lionel Bouchard claims that he would never knowingly sign or come against his daughter. However, this is exactly what transpired immediately after arriving in Winnipeg in August 2011.
Lionel Bouchard flew back to Manitoba, on his own, against his lawyer's advice to return until properly protected by the Courts in Winnipeg.
The minute his abusive children got hold of him, immediately, Andy Bouchard & Lynda Staub allegedly breached the "No Contact Orders" in collaboration with Peggy Keough and Margaret Bouchard of Kenora, obstructed justice and forced Lionel Bouchard, under duress and threat of child abuse, was forced to set aside the three protection orders issued twice against Andy Bouchard, Lynda Staub and Claire Demery.
Lionel Bouchard applied and was awarded based on a perjury ex-parte protection order against this daughter of B.C. who had treated him like royalty, working diligently, putting out her own finances, sacrificed hundreds of hours, trips to Winnipeg for the past six years in an effort to have her father reinstated in his home in Elie through his life estate in accordance with her father's wishes.
As described in the law of absolute factor, Lionel Bouchard was acting out of fear of being charged with sexual molestation by Lynda Staub.
(Click here.) "Threat of being charged with child abuse."
8. September 2011 - In an eighth incidence of concern, Lionel Bouchard at the St. James RCMP detachment made a complaint against his daughter of B.C.. Sgt. Jardine commented that "No charges" would be laid against this daughter!!!
Yet had Sgt. Jardine investigated further, she would have seen that file records at the St. James Detachment clearly documented an incident in October 2010, whereby Lynda Staub had tried to charge her sister with "abducting her father" at the Winnipeg Airport. Lynda Staub was fully aware that her father had gone to B.C. of his own free will after being escorted for his safety from his lawyer Winston Smith's office of Hook & Smith Law Firm.
Lionel Bouchard had given his sister and daughter from B.C. Power of Attorney in February 2008 prior to his departure to B.C. where he sought to seek aid from his daughter. Lionel Bouchard had consulted with his sister Madeleine Fillion (godmother to daughter in B.C.)
who was adamantly opposed to having her brother evicted from his home in Elie!
The penalty for uttering false charges is seven years!
9. December 2011 - In a ninth incidence, of concern is the fact that Lionel Bouchard did not contact his youngest daughter Doreen of Winnipeg for 4 months. When he initially contacted her, he informed her that he had been ORDERED NOT TO MAKE CONTACT. Later, obviously after being threatened once again, he denied ever having made that statement to her at all.
These abusers had learned of their father's contact of their father after Lionel Bouchard called his youngest daughter for a ride to a wedding of a nephew. Otherwise, he would not have been
able to attend to this wedding which was the plan by these abusive children!
10. May 2012 - In a tenth incidence of concern, Lionel Bouchard requested his youngest daughter's aid in moving from a bed-bug infested low rental housing in a way-out-of-place in Winnipeg on Osborne Street, a seedier area of the city with criminal
element surrounding him in the complex (which he adamantly stated he detested living in), only to turn on this daughter and give written authorization to Lynda Staub the family abuser who had evicted him from his home after Lynda Staub discovered the plan to move their father.
Lynda Staub then blocked her father and sister's efforts to relocate him closer to the West End of Winnipeg, against her father's doctor's recommendation to do so for his physical and emotional health. Lynda Staub also stole money from her father approximately $600 a month from his already meager pension on the pretense of paying his legal bill.

11. August 2008 - August 2011 - In an eleventh area of concern, is that throughout his 3 1/2 stay with his daughter, Lionel Bouchard displayed no signs of being able to stand up to his children!
Even from B.C., he was terrified having to make contact with any of these abusers.
That was a great concern to his daughter of B.C., his lawyer and anyone he came in contact with as it was obvious he WOULD/COULD NOT stand up for his rights and was expecting his daughter to fight for him - yet he would not back up his word when confronted.
Lionel Bouchard refused to accept the severity of these abusers hate for him and was frozen in fear with their threats to prosecute him.
Also whatever had occurred at Mike Slegers when Mike turned on him after negotiating five hours with Andy Bouchard at his house in St. Francois, only Lionel Bouchard knows!
12. October 2009 - In a twelfth incident, after Madeleine Fillion invited Prescott James from the Winnipeg Free Press to do an interview on senior abuse involving himself, Lionel Bouchard refused to take a picture until convinced to do so. In fact, throughout the whole interview Lionel Bouchard refused to acknowledge the severity of the abuse at the hands of his son and two daughters and the fact that this abuse had been ongoing for years, in other words covering for the abusers!
13. August 2010 - In a thirteenth incident, Winston Smith admits he is unable to represent Lionel Bouchard as Lionel refuses to speak the truth and skirts issues that require a straight answer. Lionel Bouchard when pushed to give a straight answer, often claimed his recollection is not good - when in all other instances non-related to these abusers, Lionel Bouchard's hearing and memory are excellent. This guise his lawyer recognized as Lionel refusal to implicate these abusers out of sheer fright of retaliation as threatened repeatedly over the years for in part, knowledge of some of Andy Bouchard's criminal activity of which Lionel Bouchard had knowledge.
14. August 2008 - In a fourteenth incident, in debriefing Lionel in her home in B.C., in August 2008 and in following years, daughter alarmed at the unwillingness and stubbornness not to speak the truth of events over the years which could win him his case. Rather Lionel would deliberately change the subject when he got uncomfortable when asked direct questions to build his case on and to avoid further delays in obtaining his possession order to his home.
15. August 2008 - In a fifteenth incident, Lionel Bouchard after his immediate arrival in B.C. looked worn and aged, and extremely "jumpy" whenever his his daughter or anyone walked into the kitchen where he was.
This was confirmation of what Lionel Bouchard had divulged to Susie Waldner and Johnny Lafreniere when he had visited them while held a "prisoner" according to his lawyer at Mike's.
Lionel Bouchard, in extreme fear of being overhead by Mike Slegers, insisted that Susie Waldner get into Mike's truck in order to speak to her, evidently terrified of Mike Slegers and what had obviously occurred at his house between Mike Slegers and Andy Bouchard at a time when the judge was ready to award a possession order to his home in August 2008.
16. August 2008 - August 2011 Lionel Bouchard was paralyzed with fear when encouraged to maintain communication with his children in Manitoba, reluctantly
apprehensive when encouraged to call on special occasions, Christmas, Thanksgiving, etc.
However, Lionel Bouchard displayed no issues whatsoever and his tone of voice was quite normal when conversing with other relatives and friends from Manitoba.
This fear stems from the threatening call left on his cellular left by enraged Lynda Staub after she learned he dared engage a lawyer from Winnipeg to stand up for himself and leaving Winnipeg on his own, then registering two caveats on his property to safeguard his life estate and mortgage due by Andy Bouchard, actions which infuriated both of them.
Lionel Bouchard had accomplished this without notifying those abusers of his intentions to seek support from his loving daughter in B.C. who Lionel Bouchard knew would assist her father.
In her threatening message, Lynda Staub installs fear in her father stating that he will be CHARGED WITH CHILD ABUSE IF HE RETURNS TO MANITOBA and insinuates he will be facing jail time of which he, at his age, is terrified, having seen how easily these vindictive children had been able to "frame" and incarcerate their sister based on false charges.
This included Lionel Bouchard being coerced into laying a "false" assault charge against the daughter he chose to live with for three years, whereby in court in 2007, Lionel Bouchard recanted on the stand, under oath that no assault had occurred!!!
These are but a small sampling of incidences that Lionel Bouchard, when push comes to shove, and it is between saving himself or pushing others "under a bus" Lionel Bouchard has in all past instances, sacrificed two of his daughters, to selfishly save himself for problems he himself created by not being man enough to stand up for his legal rights and on the truth.
Lionel Bouchard enjoys playing the "victim", in order to seek support from family and friends, only to turn on them in every instance when threatened by certain of these abusive children.
These family abusers have in the past hurt, or threatened anyone who dared step in their path.
Andy Bouchard threatened to charge his uncle Laurent Houde with "trespass" if he dared go in his father's yard in Elie.
In another incident in summer of 2008, Andy Bouchard while at Mike Slegers where his father lived temporarily as guest of Mike who was then assisting Lionel and had signed an affidavit at Lionel Bouchard's lawyer's office as witness to Andy Bouchard's abuse with respect to his father, Andy Bouchard assaulted his
cousin Jules Chartrand when he hit his hand and sent Jules' cellular flying across the room when he suspected Jules was on the telephone with Lionel's daughter from B.C.! Jules Chartrand made a report to the Headingley RCMP who chose to
ignore his complaint and not charge Andy Bouchard for this obvious assault!
Furthermore, Lionel Bouchard was not allowed to leave with his cousin for coffee!
This has been well documented in this website, and the reason this website was posted, to alert others, and to stop these abusers and bring them to justice before they involve more victims already slated in their paths!!!
