A Windsor police officer is asking an Ontario court to review his discreditable conduct charge for donating $50 to the Freedom Convoy protest in 2022.
Constable Michael Brisco is petitioning the Ontario Divisional Court in Toronto to review the decisions made in his case.
There are more than 400 investigations into far-right extremist attitudes or beliefs in conspiracy theories among officers in German state police forces, according to a report published on Thursday.
The real number is expected to be significantly higher, with four of Germany’s 16 states not providing current figures, the report by German news magazine Stern said.
They speak of the Reichsbürger movement but I suspect they are really hoping to weed out AfD supporters.
… In 2019, the Russian government froze bank accounts linked to opposition politician Alexei Navalny (as reported by Reuters). Three years later, in February 2022, Canada froze the bank accounts of the ‘Freedom Convoy’ truckers who were protesting against vaccine mandates—with no due process, appeals process, or court order necessary.
Ironic that Trudeau and Freeland aped Putin. Not.
In a forecasting report meant to prepare the police force for the future, the RCMP notes a degradation of living conditions in Canada could lead to increased “popular resentment.”
“The coming period of recession will accelerate the decline in living standards that the younger generations have already witnessed compared to earlier generations,” says the report “Whole-of-Government Five-Year Trends for Canada.”
OTTAWA – An internal RCMP review of the force’s response to “Freedom Convoy” protests found that some officers at the scene of an Alberta blockade were unaware of threats to harm police until after the episode ended.
The review report also describes “chaotic” efforts in early 2022 to mobilize officers in Ottawa, a lack of proper equipment, inadequate training, poor intelligence co-ordination and exceptionally long days that prompted some Mounties to sleep in their offices.
An Ontario court judge will entertain arguments that Freedom Convoy organizers Tamara Lich and Chris Barber acted as co-conspirators as part of their criminal trial, she announced in a decision on Mar 7.
The Crown intends to prove the two conspired together in lockstep to organize an illegal protest, and that evidence against one of them should apply to both.
Almost none of what gets tarred with the ‘far-Right’ brush would even exist without the treachery of our elites.
ritain is no longer a free country.” Such is the rash conclusion being drawn from the case of Sam Melia—an anti-immigration activist who late last week was sentenced to two years in prison for “inciting racial hatred.” His offence? Making and distributing stickers with slogans like “We will be a minority in our homeland by 2066” and “Stop mass immigration.” Other tags included “Reject white guilt,” “Stop anti-white rape gangs,” and “Love your nation.”
On Jan. 29, 2022, a trucker convoy headed down to the Coutts, Alta., border crossing with the U.S. to protest the COVID-19 vaccine mandates the Trudeau government had put in place. The protest turned into a full-scale blockade that lasted 17 days. Two of the protest leaders, Chris Lysak and Jerry Morin, were arrested and charged with conspiracy to commit murder and mischief, accusations that were hard to credit given the context of the event. They remained in custody for 723 days, during 74 of which Morin was in solitary confinement. Finally, after their lawyer filed a Charter of Rights application to examine the case, the Crown suddenly accepted a plea deal on minor firearms charges. They were released early last month.
The Ontario Civilian Police Commission has reinforced its position that policing organizations and individual police officers should obey political orders without question, and ignore our Constitution, the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, and the Rule of Law.
Windsor Police Constable Michael Brisco was convicted of Discreditable Conduct for anonymously donating $50 to the Freedom Convoy on February 7, 2022. The Ontario Civilian Police Commission just disallowed his appeal of the conviction and the outrageous penalty of 80 hours pay.
Ottawa has filed to appeal a Federal Court decision that found its invocation of the Emergencies Act in response to the 2022 “Freedom Convoy” protests was unjustified.
The government is asking the Federal Court of Appeal to overturn a January decision that found the government’s use of emergency law led to the infringement of constitutional rights.
There’s an old meme that you’ve surely seen. To paraphrase, it holds that conspiracy nuts are really just six months ahead of everybody else.
Then there’s the other meme that asks if you’ve apologized to your conspiracy theorist friends for doubting them.
These days, we’re beginning to shed our assumptions that the comfortable, boring normal we grew up with, in which most cops and politicians were honest and we could trust our institutions to act in beneficent ways, would continue. Americans know that those assumptions don’t hold anymore, and we’re beginning to come to terms with the fact that we’re in decline as a country, and active measures — and real reforms — have to be engaged if we don’t want to see the end of our republic as we know it.
OTTAWA – A main organizer of the “Freedom Convoy” is suing the federal government for using the Emergencies Act to freeze his bank accounts, arguing it breached his Charter rights to protest COVID-19 mandates.
Chris Barber, who owns a trucking company in southwestern Saskatchewan, filed last week a statement of claim in Court of King’s Bench in Saskatoon, claiming the federal government’s unprecedented move to invoke the act constituted an abuse of power.
OTTAWA—Near the two-year anniversary of the federal government’s invocation of the Emergencies Act, hundreds of people gathered on Parliament Hill on Feb. 17 to celebrate the original Freedom Convoy and a recent victory in Federal Court.
The managing director of Correctiv, the self-proclaimed “independent investigative journalism network” that recently ran a disinformation piece against the AfD—falsely accusing the party of planning to deport millions of Germans with migrant backgrounds—met with officials from the federal government on numerous occasions, apparently to “exchange ideas” on what coverage is desirable.
Correctiv’s false reporting—deliberate or not—on what has come to be known as the “Potsdam Meeting” precipitated a wave of anti-AfD demonstrations across Germany and prompted calls for the left-liberal traffic coalition to initiate banning proceedings against the increasingly popular party.
Several Freedom Convoy protesters, buoyed by a recent victory in Canadian federal court, said they’re preparing to sue the federal government, banks, and the police that brought the 2022 protest to a heated end.
“I think it’s the second phase to what took place with the federal court case,” military veteran and plaintiff Eddie Cornell said. “We’ve got a big hill to climb, but it’s something that’s necessary. It has to be done.”
