To be more precise.
In Ontario, there is a 'right of tenancy', which means once a tenant is in someplace, it takes an extensive and bureaucratic process to boot them out.

Looks like these guys are going to rely on their pseudo-legal theories to stay at the church. Good luck!

More on those goofs in Peterborough.
They’re promising to initiate a private prosecution tomorrow, which should be hilarious. No indication of which criminal offences they allege or who the purported accused are.Looks like these guys are going to rely on their pseudo-legal theories to stay at the church. Good luck!

As opposed to the duty sniper from the GD sniper pool?
Circling back 'round to everyone's fave emergency act declaration, here's your chance to speak your piece to power (what'll happen to your piece, well, YMMV I suspect) ...
Commission Accepting Public Submissions
On April 25, 2022, the Government of Canada established the Public Order Emergency Commission to inquire into the circumstances that led to the declaration of emergency that was in place from February 14-23, 2022, and the measures taken for dealing with the emergency.

Although this story is from 2013, it definitely rhymes with the situation at St. Brigid’s. A tenant stiffs the landlord and claims the rented townhouse is an “embassy”. Surprise surprise, the tenant is a “Freeman-on-the-Land/Sovereign Citizen” and uses legal fiction to delay his eviction.
I am guessing Ontario commercial tenancy legislation is less forgiving than Alberta residential tenancy legislation.

I watched the whole interview with that lady.
By the end of it, my thoughts are that there are very troubled people in that organisation. And that they are definitely not what they are trying to portray themselves as.

Yep. See above. My guess is they fell for “sovereign citizen” pseudo-legal theories and they will find out the hard way that the courts have no patience for it. In the meantime, the landlord, bailiffs, police officers, and other officials involved will probably become the targets of the group’s paper terrorism.

Commercial tenancy is quite unforgiving. They should be out pretty soon.
I’m sure the people of lower town will be happy about that. They have enough problems already.

I think it's pretty hilarious their acronym is TUPOC (The United People of Canada), and also that while the reporter was there talking to them, a bylaw officer ticketed the TUPOC spokesperson's car for exceeding the 1 hour parking limit (after a blanket warning the day before). Seems like someone also tried to break into the separate rectory, so police are investigating that.
Some genius also decided to start doing unauthorized construction on the church, which is a registered heritage building; those fines can be huge.
What a bunch of idiots; they almost need a running montage of Balcony Ricky.

It's disappointing that police a Crown services are often quick to write off incidents like this as civil matters. Lease or no, a decent investigation and bold Crown should be able to support a criminal charge; 'theft by conversion' for changing the locks and denying her right of entry as a landlord, for a start.
If you have the time (it's rather long) and interest, the 'Meads' decision out of Alberta is an interesting and oft-citing ruling on the arguments and tactics employed by so-called 'sovereign citizens'.

I remember mentioning that case in a Facebook argument with someone who was trying to say that an article of the Magna Carta that was repealed in 1225 said that he didn't have to wear a mask.
I'm not sure if the criminal code deals with "pretenders", but I'm pretty sure that the common law has dealt with it before, and if I remember correctly, there was a pretty stiff penalty.

Is there a difference between that symbol and the ''OK'' sign?
Contrary to the adage, this still picture doesn't say all that much...
Seems to me the gullible individuals ''raising concerns'' were just successfully trolled by 4chan users. Those individuals being associated with the media and deep state by their political opponents, the latter may have taken up the gesture in some contexts as a symbol of opposition.
