The Medico-Stalinist Tyranny in BC: Transit Cop Peter Kwok Arrests Mom With Medical Mask Exemption

EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW: Officer arrests mom with medical mask exemption on Vancouver SkyTrain

On December 5, a British Columbian mother named Valerie Ann Foley was trying to take a TransLink SkyTrain to get home. She ended up being arrested, charged with assaulting a police officer, fined $460 and in need of medical attention for physical injuries she alleges were acquired during her arrest.

How did this happen, you might ask? If you can believe it, the entire nightmare began after Transit Police Officer Constable Peter Kwok ordered Ms. Foley to leave the train due to not wearing a mask, even though she clearly explained to him that she was medically exempt from wearing one. Kwok claimed that medical exemptions were no longer valid due to the provincial health order, yet both TransLink and the official Use of Face Coverings in Indoor Public Spaces (COVID-19) Order specify that there are in fact people who are medically exempt from wearing a mask.

The “new normal” that the government has mandated for British Columbians seems to be opening up the floodgates for people feeling entitled to discriminate against people who are medically exempt from wearing face coverings.

In a previous Rebel News report, we showed you how a human rights complaint was filed after The Hide Out Cafe in New Westminster refused service without accommodation to two people who claimed to have mask exemptions..

The issue is becoming so prevalent that Global News even reported that two different Chapter’s Indigo stores in the lower mainland refused indoor service to medically exempt individuals. One was a 12 year old autistic boy, and the other, a retired Canadian Paralympic swimmer named Elisabeth Walker-Young, who has no hands with which to put a mask on.

Rebel News is happy to offer Valerie Ann Foley a platform to tell her side of the story, and we have also taken on Foley as one of our newest Fight the Fines cases. We are not only helping her with free legal counsel to fight the fines she received, we’ve also assigned a sharp criminal defence lawyer to look into her charges as well.

If you want to help us fight the good fight by providing free legal counsel to Valerie Ann and more, please head to FightTheFines.com. That’s where you can donate to help Valerie Ann and the hundreds of cases we’ve already taken on to help Canadians just like her. We appreciate your support.

Here are the fines people could face for violating Ontario’s coronavirus shutdown laws Ontario entered a provincewide shutdown on Saturday in a bid to slow the spread of COVID-19. It’s the second lockdown for the province since the pandemic began, with the first widespread measures having been in place during the spring. targeting social gatherings and businesses are among measures implemented as part of the shutdown.

A list of the restrictions currently enforceable throughout Ontario by provincial law are detailed under this section of Reopening Ontario Act, a spokesperson from the solicitor general’s office said. Among them are:

A ban on indoor social gatherings with anyone outside of your household. There is an exception for a person who lives alone and visits a second household.

A ban on outdoor social gatherings of more than 10 people.

The closure or limitation on operations of some businesses, including the closure of personal care services, limitation on retail sales, and restricting restaurants and bars to take-out, delivery, or drive-thru services only.

The restrictions are expected to be locally adjusted as regions move out of lockdown next month and the province moves back to its colour-coded response framework.

Depending on the violation of an emergency order and the discretion of an officer who observes an offence, the type of charge laid as well as the resulting fine can vary.

In general, anyone who violates an emergency order could face a fine of $750, while a person who obstructs someone exercising power or performing a duty in accordance with an order could face a fine of $1,000.

However, a person who violates an emergency order could also be issued a summons in which the court would determine a penalty upon conviction, that could include a fine of up to $100,000 and a year in jail.

The province has also set up a minimum $10,000 fine for hosts or organizers of parties in violation of gathering laws.

Meanwhile, corporations which violate an emergency order could face a fine up to $10,000,000 upon conviction.

Fines could be increased even higher “by an amount equal to the financial benefit that was acquired.”

It’s important to note that municipalities may also impose additional restrictions beyond those implemented by the province, which could include additional fines.

Police say eight people face fines over their roles in a demonstration on Saturday in downtown Saskatoon.

The people charged with violating public health orders were identified as “key participants” in the Dec. 19 protest which saw more than 100 people gather at Kiwanis Memorial Park to protest mask wearing and other restrictions put in place to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

Four of them were not given the option to simply pay the $2,800 fine voluntarily, police said in a media release on Wednesday. Rather, police said those four will be required to make court appearances to answer to the charges, a decision that was made after consultation with prosecutors and public health officials.

The Saskatoon event was the third weekend in a row in which a large public anti-mask protest has taken place in the province. Saskatoon police previously issued a $2,800 ticket under the Public Health Act to a “key participant” in a Dec. 5 protest in Saskatoon. Regina police issued two similar fines following a rally in that city on Dec. 12.

Police said Wednesday’s announcement brings the total number of tickets written in Saskatoon for failing to comply with public health orders to 15.

A police spokeswoman said the four individuals required to come to court for their matters were scheduled to appear on March 23 in Saskatoon Traffic Court. 9 (Saskatoon Star Phoenix, December 24 , 2020)
