“It Ain’t Over”

 

Freedom activists are critical thinkers!

Our society is so dumbed down and indoctrinated that anyone who is a critical thinker is labeled as a Conspiracy Theorist

Did you know: The term ‘conspiracy theorist’ was first coined and used by the CIA to ridicule anyone who opposed the gov’t narrative?

 

 

 

David is gratefully returning to the Action4Canada Empower Hour on Wednesday, March 27, at 4:30 PST.

Wednesday March 27, 2023 – Zoom Doors open at 4:25pm PST/7:25pm EST. Empower Hour guest segment 4.30pm PST/7.30pm EST followed by Tanya’s Weekly Update. Be sure to invite others and Register in Advance.

Special Notice: New Start Times: Beginning March 27th we will be swapping the Empower Hour and Weekly News Update start times. The Empower Hour will begin at 4:30pm PST/7:30 EST and the A4C Weekly News Update will follow after the show. This will make it easier for Tanya so that she is not rushed in providing the critical Weekly News Updates and our guests will have a firm start time.

This week David Lindsay, co-founder of Common Law Education and Rights (CLEAR), and a regular guest on the Empower Hour, joins Tanya to discuss his personal legal journey in defending himself against fundamentally corrupt government institutions – Interior Health and the City of Kelowna – and their attempts to incarcerate him. On April 12, 2024 at the BC Provincial Court in Kelowna David will be at his sentencing hearing for an alleged assault that took place on August 19, 2021. David is facing spuriously devised assault charges. His crime? Exercising his right of entry to a government building which is open to the public. 

Watch the short video below to fully understand how outrageous and unreasonable these charges are.

As you can see from the video there was no assault committed by David. The so-called victim is Greg Smith (the manager of security for the building leased by Interior Health), who was accompanied by two other security guards. The video shows Greg Smith using his upper torso to physically block David’s right of entry. If this is what qualifies for assault nowadays then it is very evident that Greg Smith is the one who committed the actual assault. These security guards present were not licensed to use force under these circumstances.

Greg Smith has a proven history of misrepresentation to the police and the court. Smith previously stated that David caused a disturbance on August 11, 2021, which Smith used to justify his suspension of David’s right of future access to the public Interior Health reception area. Here is a video which not only confirms that there was no disturbance, but also that Smith intentionally misrepresented the situation when he claimed there was.

In regard to the situation with the City of Kelowna, David has been embroiled in a battle in the courts to preserve the freedom to maintain public assemblies. This ongoing legal controversy could set a precedent nationwide that will affect every citizen’s right to publicly oppose government overreach. David is on the front-line effectively fighting for every Canadian’s fundamental freedoms. Although David is representing himself there are significant costs associated with accessing transcripts which are critical for appeal hearings. Please consider donating to David’s legal challenges by sending an Interac E-Transfer to clear2012@pm.me

 

Know Your Rights and How to Assert Them

 

In the video above, David Lindsay and Tanya discuss Canadian’s guaranteed rights and how to assert them confidently and knowledgeably when approached by law enforcement or other officials. They also discuss the origins and Constitutional rights of people to practice peaceful civil disobedience.

Historically, most restrictions or prohibitions on freedom of expression originated in the civil torts of libel, defamation and slander, and a few criminal offences such as libel as well. Today, governments all over Canada are weaponizing the Criminal Code and municipal bylaws to prohibit Canadians from expressing themselves on issues of prime importance to us – our Christian heritage and our culture.

On the upcoming Empower Hour, David will advise how various governments are doing this, what to watch out for, and how they are attacking freedom activists with falsified charges and civil legal actions in order to prohibit freedom of expression under multiple guises such as public safety, enjoyment, and not wishing to hurt someone else’s feelings, aka hate laws.

What it all boils down to, if our socialist and communist governments have their way, is that if you exercise your freedom of expression and speak out for what is right and honourable, you could be charged.

Kelowna Protest Success!

One could not have asked for a better day. The rain stopped and the sun even came out shortly before 2:00 at the start of the rally today. About 200 freedom loving people from all over B.C. joined us in not only opposing the Petition by the City of Kelowna but demanding that they abandon it too. There was solidarity in numbers. Claudia Van Emmerik Global News did a pretty good report on their website today for which I am grateful:

Demonstrators protest against City of Kelowna bylaw requiring permit to hold public rallies

Thank you again so much to Bruce and Leo for their incredible efforts to preserve the history of these Lawful Protests.

A whole batch of new signs were made for this protest and ongoing until the City backs down:

City Council was having a special public meeting in council chambers with respect to a local golf course, whose supporters occupied almost all of the gallery. I attempted to enter with one of our new signs expressing our demands to withdraw and abandon their Petition to ban our rallies, but security and RCMP (whom someone in the City called) refused, claiming that the City has a long-standing policy of not allowing any signs in their meetings. It appears that the City officials simply think that the RCMP is their own private police force to call upon when ever their baseless fears get to them.

So, in I went in person – and sure enough, within seconds, all sitting council members just glared at me. You know if you take actions to violate people’s rights and freedoms, we are no longer going to sit back and do nothing. They were fixated upon me during my short time in council chambers, and I hope that they have had discussions now to end this unconstitutional Petition that they have filed.

We made ourselves known to every Councillor as they entered into the building, showing them our signs. Some of us talked to these councillors, but without fail, they refused to say much. Councillor Mohini Singh was clearly worried about our presence during her very brief discussion with one of our supporters on her way into City Hall.

Legal documents will begin to be filed next week, and there is much yet to do. We will post them on the CLEAR site as they are filed.

When they are filed, I will be sending a copy to each councillor as well, so they don’t just take the word of their lawyer, and see that we have an extremely strong case.

I will discuss this more at our Canada Day rally on July 1.

Our newsletter on this will be out early next week as almost every minute right now is focused on getting this material done for next week.

Thank you to everyone who came here from out of town…your sacrifices were important and very much appreciated. Remember – if we were having no positive effects – legal action would not have been taken, especially with the Province pressuring the City to so do. What happens is going to affect all of us…and so we move ahead now knowing that City Council has our position – as do all the golfers!!!!

In freedom
David

City of Kelowna Goes to Court to Ban David Lindsay of C.L.E.A.R. & Freedom Rallies — Yes, in Canada, Not North Korea

City of Kelowna takes aim at ‘freedom rallies’ and their organizer

A notorious anti-COVID-mandates protester is facing a lawsuit from the City of Kelowna, B.C., that would potentially stop him and his like-minded companions from using public spaces for their so-called “freedom rallies”.

The City of Kelowna names David Lindsay, John and Jane Doe, and “persons unknown” in a petition filed this week and asks the courts for, among other things, a declaration that reinforces several existing bylaws and an order that would authorize Mounties to “arrest and remove” protesters who are contravening that bylaw by using downtown parks and street corners for processions and marches without written permission from the city.

The city is also asking that the same groups refrain from selling their merchandise, or erecting tents without the approval of the city and creating a nuisance with their public address and voice amplification equipment in such a way that disturbs the “quiet, peace, rest and enjoyment” of individuals and the public.” Story continues below advertisement

According to the petition, Lindsay and company continue to contravene the provisions of the city’s bylaws by continually carrying out what the city calls unlawful events, and it is therefore entitled to an injunction to require them to cease such activities without the required permits.

The petition states that Lindsay is the co-founder and spokesman of the unincorporated association known as “Common Law Education and Rights” or C.L.E.A.R.Click to play video: 'Kelowna RCMP explain the criminal code that applies to the Remembrance Day disruption' 0:57 Kelowna RCMP explain the criminal code that applies to the Remembrance Day disruption

“In or about 2020, the respondent Lindsay began and continues to organize, lead, and carry out weekly ‘Freedom Rally’ events every Saturday at Stuart Park,” the city states.

These events include erecting gazebo-style tents in the park, setting up and using amplified sound system equipment and a megaphone on public roadways to make speeches, “in a manner that is liable to disturb the quiet, peace, rest, enjoyment, comfort, or convenience of individuals or the public.” Story continues below advertisement

There, they also sell merchandise, loiter in public roadways and walk in group parades.

All of these activities, according to the city, have been flagged and multiple bylaw contravention notices have been issued.

“The authorities in the municipal bylaw enforcement context are clear that where a breach is established, the discretion of the court to refuse to grant an injunction to enforce a bylaw is narrow and is reserved for rare cases, for example where the   injunction would not properly address the mischief the bylaw is aimed at preventing,”Click to play video: 'Kelowna mayor says protest in front of hospital was misguided' 1:07 Kelowna mayor says protest in front of hospital was misguided

Lindsay is a staple in B.C.’s court system, having been involved with multiple court cases and ultimately being flagged as a vexatious litigant. Story continues below advertisement

Last February he was charged with two counts of assault following an incident that took place outside of Interior Health’s building in downtown Kelowna during the summer of 2021.

That matter is headed to court in the next couple of months.
