I have been receiving numerous emails and DMs relating to the hacking of #GiveSendGo and your personal info being doxed/leaked.

Unless you have run into an actual specific problem (account being closed) police contacting you, etc., I cannot assist. Even if I do share your anger.
You may wish to consult a civil litigation lawyer if you’d like to consider a cause of action. This is not my area of expertise despite the fact that I am outraged like you are.

I am not a civil litigation lawyer.
I regret that I cannot respond to every message that simply points out the outrageous nature of the hacking and of the media’s unscrupulous actions taken since. I agree with you but I am currently dealing with many cases including those related to the protest.
I am a criminal defence lawyer who fights criminal/quasi criminal offences. I can help if you are charged with/going to be charged with one of these offences. My expressed views on other issues may be political or philosophical but I don’t have legal expertise in those areas.

💰 DONATED MONEY?

I’m getting a deluge of calls about people who are worried about having donated to @GiveSendGo

Once again, this thread is not legal advice but it can be useful information.
First, don’t panic. For reasons elaborated on out below, I am not convinced that past donations are illegal. I am also not saying they aren’t either; but for starters, assume you’re okay until and unless you hear otherwise; no point in stressing yourself out.
Second, don’t discuss the matter with anybody other than a lawyer. I’ve heard stories of the @CBCNews contacting people to confirm details. Do not discuss your donation with anybody and especially not the media.

I keep seeing this chart circulating — I encourage everyone to read it’s methodology. It is one of the most dishonest surveys I’ve ever seen in my life and I break it down in this thread. 🧵
The proposition they advance is “the more uninformed you are, the less you support vaccine passports”.

So in order to measure how “uninformed” someone is, they asked 7 questions and the more affirmatively people answered, the more uninformed this study claims they are.
Makes sense…if those 7 false statements are, in fact false.

So what are those questions/statements?

Here they are; read them and see for yourself how broken this study is.

🚨 EMERGENCIES ACT?

The same legal “experts” on Twitter who explained us concepts like how they believe an injunction works last week, are now publishing a flurry of “legal opinions” on how Canada should invoke the Emergencies Act, R.S.C. 1985, c. 22.

A 🧵 on why they’re wrong.
Starting in the preamble, a “national emergency” is needed that requires the Act to “ensure safety & security” during the emergency. Looking at what’s going on in Ottawa right now, it’s hard to say this is a “national emergency” let alone one that puts safety/security in issue.
Next, once over those first two hurdles, the national emergency must “seriously threaten” one or more “obligations”. Words matter and so the mere threat to obligations would not be sufficient to allow the use of the special powers in the Act. What are those “obligations”?

⛽️ WHAT TO DO ABOUT SEIZED JERRY CANS & ARRESTS

I’ve been getting a lot of DMs about this.

Please do the following:

1. When an officer tells you to give your property to him, say “no I refuse to give you my property” or “give me back my property”. Do not yell or be aggressive.
2. If he refuses ask him to tell you the reason why. Try to document it in personal notes or on audio or video.

3. Ask for his name and badge number. Also try and capture video of him or her.

It is probable that these seizures are not lawful but it’s never clear cut in court.
UPDATE:I have started to receive calls from people arrested. It appears that the allegation is “aiding:abetting mischief”. There some basis for this to be alleged although it may not hold up in court.

At this stage it is CRUCIAL that you don’t say anything to police other than:

🧐DOES THIS SOUND FAMILIAR?

“it’s a deadly disease!”

“But the survival rate is like 99.96% if you’re below average life expectancy”

“Well it’s all about hospitalizations and our hospital system being overrun”

“Ok but after locking down, it turns out to not have been that bad”
“It’s cases; it’s all about cases”

“In most places in Canada, at the worst points, about half of a percent of people had it at any one time. It’s mainly been even less than that”

“Did you hear about that guy in his 40s in hospital for a month? Even young people are at risk”
“The odds of that happening is less than that same guy having been hospitalized for that long as a result of a car crash”

“Long COVID?”

“There’s no real evidence of that”

“Well look at that; the third wave is straining our hospitals again”

It does not appear that @MaximeBernier was informed of his full rights to counsel “immediately” as required by the Supreme Court in R. v. Suberu. In addition to challenging every other horrifying aspect of this case, @JCCFCanada should raise this as well. [Thread continues]
Full, technical compliance with the law would have seen the arresting officer read the rights where the cuffing first took place. But even once back at the cruiser, there’s a conversation and no officer pulls out a card to read the full rights; Bernier then enters the cruiser.
It is not okay for the police to wait until some other point — even a couple minutes later — because ‘right to counsel’ is *that* important, and no aspect of it may be delayed. It’s right there in section 10(b) of the Charter. But this is a “systemic problem” in many places in 🇨🇦
