She was convicted in provincial offences court of violating Ontario public health orders. Judging from the comments, the average thumb-sucking Rebel viewer holds "Justin Castro" responsible.

Absolutely no chance. Canada's Charter makes it clear right in paragraph 1 that someone's rights are "subject only to such reasonable limits prescribed by law as can be demonstrably justified in a free and democratic society." And in the midst of a global pandemic, implementing mandatory public health measures is totally reasonable.<br /><br />What this means is that any competent and ethical lawyer would have told Banas that she had no case. It means that Rebel's lawyers deliberately led Banas on and gave her false hope and kept crowdfunding off of her case, knowing she was going to lose.<br /><br />How many other suckers did Rebel screw this way, leaving them holding the fines and costs bag? Is anyone keeping track?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
