yeah um they especially went and really tried to harp on this conspiracy theory and
00:00:14.020
rocco pointed out and he said that's their term of labeling and you know i was in court
00:00:20.000
within about a year ago and i got really really angry at a judge um not directly to the judge
00:00:27.800
himself but to the crown and i'm getting really really frustrated with crown prosecutors
00:00:34.540
and sometimes even private lawyers who are coming up with no evidence nothing's even on the record
00:00:41.880
yet there's not even an application file for a declaration nothing and they call you a conspiracy
00:00:47.740
conspiracy theorist or a tax protester or a anti-vaxxer an anti-vaxxer and they throw these
00:00:54.740
labels and i've seen judges who are they're sitting there writing their notes and somebody
00:00:58.840
says you're anti-vaxxer oh and and suddenly they're they stop everything they're doing
00:01:03.720
they've got your attention and right away that label has biased your case and you've lost from
00:01:09.060
that point forward because now the judge says oh you're one of those people and uh and you get
00:01:15.660
biased so i'm i'm looking in the future of trying to get an order that the crown cannot make those
00:01:21.240
allegations in court without either an application cited by evidence and defining what those terms
00:01:27.040
mean in the first place i mean what is an anti-vaxxer does it mean that somebody who says for religious
00:01:31.940
grounds i personally am not going to get it suddenly they oppose everybody and you're an anti-vaxxer
00:01:36.320
or anti-tax protester or whatever terms they want to they they want to throw at you uh i i want to get
00:01:43.080
and i'm looking at trying to do that it's going to take a bit but i want to get an order that they
00:01:47.580
should not be able to throw these labels at you without a being proven and b you given the
00:01:54.100
opportunity to fully respond to them and know what their other position is going to be because
00:01:58.420
they've uh they've won cases simply on putting that label out in court before uh within the first five
00:02:03.340
minutes of the case starting at court and then the generally judges things well you're one of those
00:02:08.040
people so rocco for example he addressed that and he came up and he said um about him calling him uh
00:02:16.000
conspiracy theorists theorists and he said you know what conspiracies and this was an awesome
00:02:21.080
analogy it really was and he said conspiracy theories theories or conspiracies he said have
00:02:26.960
been around since the time of julius caesar and how much more correct can you get when all of his
00:02:32.460
people got together h.u.bute and uh they uh they they conspired to to murder julius caesar so
00:02:40.220
conspiracies have been around they exist and the label that they attach is not conspiracy but they
00:02:46.920
had to wear theory theory or theorist on the end of it to qualify it and say that anybody who opposes
00:02:52.720
the government it's just a theory the government's wrong they're all looking out for your best interest
00:02:57.180
and really those people should be charged with fraud
