THE LAWYER NEXT DOOR🧵
The first time I saw Caryma, standing in the sunlit doorway of that Court of Appeal courtroom, I saw hope – the hope of vindication & friendship.
A year later, I found myself used & discarded by a lawyer who profited from my work & weaponized police to keep me quiet.
Caryma and I became Twitter friends shortly after her public scandal involving Chris Sky in July 2021. She reached out to me, wanting dirt on her enemies at CAHN, people I was suing in civil court. For my part, I hoped to get legal advice on appealing a civil court loss. She assured me our conversations were privileged. In September 2022 we finally met in person, when she came to a hearing to give me moral support. /2

You have no idea how fast your life can be erased and destroyed when money, power & influence are at stake - even when you shut down Canada's most dangerous neo-Nazi group.
I need to raise $8000 in the next 3 weeks to continue my legal fight against Bernie Farber. Please help me.
Any amount will help - please help me fight to get my life back. paypal.com/paypalme/elisa…

It's a total grift. I put 3 white supremacists leaders in jail solely on my testimony, helped shut down a hate group, turned 30 affidavits to police re guns/crime and lived in poverty & hiding for yrs. And unlike those who risked nothing, I wasn't offered a book, movie or TV deal
The CVE field is rampant w/ grifters & profiteers. After being groomed & exploited by neo-Nazis as a teen girl, I was exploited by @CBC, who took my life from headlines & made a movie that attributed it to another woman - a "former" who stole my story and marketed it as her own.
