A woman in a mask is trying to get into a polling station to vote. She needs to wear a mask to protect her eyes and nose from the smell of human excrement. The polling station worker won't allow her in because she says it's a violation of the Canadian Charter Rights and Freedom and the Constitution.

00:00:00.000 I have a video recording of it this time.
00:00:02.560 That's for you.
00:00:03.640 And I will be pressing criminal charges against you personally because you're interfering with my right to vote.
00:00:09.380 I tried to show you the information that clearly stipulates that it is a criminal offence to interfere with a person's right to vote.
00:00:17.820 I have a right to be here.
00:00:19.220 I've already told you that I cannot wear a mask because I am exempt.
00:00:23.080 You need to honour that exemption.
00:00:24.480 There is no legislation or law in Canada that says that you have to wear masks.
00:00:30.380 You know the reason why?
00:00:31.380 Because they can't legislate against your right to breathe freely, especially when it interferes with a person's medical health.
00:00:40.040 You need to educate yourself and you need to be willing to have a conversation.
00:00:43.780 You're not allowed to enter my polling station.
00:00:45.580 Oh, you bet I will be taking a poll today.
00:00:48.260 You will not be entering my polling station.
00:00:49.740 I understand that you've called the RCMP.
00:00:51.920 Is that correct?
00:00:52.600 Great.
00:00:52.960 Well, then you're going to hear from them that I have a right to vote today.
00:00:58.100 Now, would you like to see the information before they come up?
00:01:01.220 I am six feet apart from you.
00:01:03.260 You've had no problem.
00:01:04.820 You have a choice.
00:01:06.780 And as the polling station, your name is again?
00:01:10.080 You don't need my name.
00:01:11.600 Sure.
00:01:11.860 Is that why you took your name tag off?
00:01:13.280 Yes, because I have small children.
00:01:15.140 Right.
00:01:15.900 So.
00:01:16.420 So that's fine.
00:01:17.780 You've got small children.
00:01:18.860 Excuse me.
00:01:19.840 Do you want to just hold it in case they call you back?
00:01:22.720 That's the other lady that interfered with my right to vote right there. 1.00
00:01:28.980 They're in violation of the law and of the Charter Rights and Freedom and the Constitution.
00:01:34.440 You will not force me to wear a medical device when it is I'm completely exempt from it.
00:01:42.900 You're in violation.
00:01:43.940 The whole thing is absolutely insane and nobody has the mind to even think critically anymore to think about human decency or what they're doing to other people.
00:01:56.200 No, ma'am. You have the issue today.
00:01:57.820 Human decency is to wear a mask.
00:01:59.620 Yeah, there she goes again in a big circle.
00:02:15.420 You're not allowed to record the polling station, ma'am.
00:02:18.120 I'm recording as evidence that people are in there, social distance apart, plexiglass up.
00:02:25.160 There'd absolutely be no problem with me going and voting today.
00:02:29.420 But you're making it an issue because you're on a power trip because you've got a little authority here, I think.
00:02:34.180 And you have no ounce of human decency in you, and you're not even willing to take a look at the information I have to show that you're in violation.
00:02:55.900 When is the supervisor going to be here?
00:02:57.820 When he gets here.
00:02:58.580 You say you have children.
00:03:13.100 Do you ever think about what this is going to be for the future of their country?
00:03:19.640 Behaving like this as a parent?
00:03:28.580 This is what I'm trying to provide her.
00:03:44.260 You can see here that it's clearly written that I have a right to be respected and to vote.
00:03:52.240 This lady is in violation of it. 1.00
00:03:54.980 And I'll be holding her personally liable.
00:04:07.380 You just said that there's people trying to get into the building and I'm trying to get in to vote.
00:04:11.680 And you're interfering with my civic duty.
00:04:14.420 And as a Canadian citizen, I have a right to go in there and vote.
00:04:19.080 And you figure you can lord your weight around and interfere with me coming in.
00:04:23.520 How do you feel about that?
00:04:28.560 You're not even willing to take a look at what I'm trying to show you so that you could be educated and realize I 100% have a right to come in and vote.
00:04:37.420 Would anybody like to see why I have a right to come in and vote without a mask on?
00:04:41.900 Any of you?
00:04:43.600 You're willing to do this to your fellow Canadian? 0.74
00:04:47.880 And you're okay with this?
00:04:49.100 It's all okay because that lady can wear a mask. 1.00
00:04:57.020 She says, oh, I'm so sorry you're having to deal with that.
00:05:02.300 It's no problem that they can violate my rights.
00:05:05.280 And yet, this lady's the victim, not me.
00:05:09.840 Isn't that amazing?
00:05:10.620 See, this woman has no problem allowing everybody in that will wear a simple mask. 1.00
00:05:26.980 They've got all their little dots here, making sure everybody's social distance.
00:05:30.700 They've got plexiglass in the voting booth.
00:05:36.860 Well distanced from everyone, but this woman is on a power trip and will not let me in to vote. 1.00
00:05:42.240 How are you?
00:05:53.640 How are you?
00:05:56.400 How are you?
00:05:57.580 Good.
00:05:59.860 How are you?
00:06:00.480 This woman is impeding my right to vote. 1.00
00:06:19.480 As long as everybody is going along and wearing a mask, there's no problem.
00:06:27.480 Come on in, how are you?
00:06:34.480 Do you have your car?
00:06:41.480 Hi there.
00:06:46.480 Hello.

00:06:49.480 Yep, just right in here, please.
00:06:51.480 How are you?
00:06:53.480 Is she smiling to the people?
00:07:05.480 I can't tell.
00:07:06.480 Hello.
00:07:07.480 How are you?
00:07:12.480 I have a responsibility and work to do.
00:07:16.480 Where is your supervisor?
00:07:21.480 Come on in.
00:07:35.480 Keep going.
00:07:36.480 Okay.
00:07:37.480 Where is your supervisor?
00:07:49.480 I was told that your supervisor was coming here.
00:07:52.480 I have to conduct a very important meeting at 4.30.
00:07:58.480 You need to answer the question, ma'am.
00:08:02.480 Larissa?
00:08:03.480 You can easily find out who you are, by the way.

00:08:15.480 No.
00:08:16.480 You can come in and wear your mask, please.
00:08:18.480 Thank you.
00:08:19.480 Thank you.
00:08:20.480 How are you?
00:08:23.480 I will be pressing criminal charges against you just so you know.
00:08:28.480 And you will not be protected as far as your name is concerned because they're going to
00:08:32.480 have to make that information available to me.
00:08:38.480 What you're doing is against the law.
00:08:41.480 Oh, it's not a line-up.
00:08:42.480 Just come on in.
00:08:43.480 Yep.
00:08:44.480 I've advised you very well.
00:08:51.480 How are you?
00:08:52.480 You're going to have no excuse.

00:09:44.480 Okay, Reggie.
00:09:45.480 I got it.
00:09:46.480 I...
00:09:47.480 No, you can keep it or you can give it back to them.
00:09:48.480 That's fine.
00:09:49.480 Because they'll take it to another place.
00:09:50.480 Okay.
00:09:51.480 Okay, bye.
00:09:52.480 Thank you.
00:09:53.480 I've advised this lady that she is in violation of the criminal code. 1.00
00:10:04.480 I have a right to vote.
00:10:05.480 I explained to her that I have an exemption and that that exemption needs to be respected.
00:10:10.480 What is the exemption?
00:10:11.480 That is medical privacy information.
00:10:12.480 That is medical privacy information.
00:10:14.480 Well, I'm sorry, but that's not up to me.
00:10:15.480 I am Tanya Gough, and I have retained the top lawyer in Canada, Rocco Galati, and we are
00:10:22.480 taking legal action against the B.C. and federal government.
00:10:24.480 We have filed in the B.C. Supreme Court.
00:10:26.480 Are you claiming?
00:10:27.480 Are you claiming?
00:10:28.480 Are you claiming a medical exemption?
00:10:29.480 I know.
00:10:30.480 Yes, that's what I've told this lady repeatedly as soon as I came in.
00:10:33.480 Okay.
00:10:34.480 You are claiming a medical exemption?
00:10:35.480 Yes, I am.
00:10:36.480 Okay.
00:10:37.480 If she's claiming a medical exemption, yes.
00:10:39.480 She didn't claim a medical exemption.
00:10:40.480 I 100%.
00:10:41.480 She showed me a piece of paper that she was allowed to vote because of this.
00:10:44.480 No.
00:10:45.480 I came in and I said just in case because I have heard that people had problems.
00:10:49.480 Okay.
00:10:50.480 Yes.
00:10:51.480 You said to me you're claiming a medical exemption.
00:10:52.480 Yes, sir.
00:10:53.480 She's going to escort you through and keep you separate from everybody else. 0.90
00:10:56.480 And that will be the end of it.
00:10:57.480 And can I tell you?
00:10:58.480 There was nobody around me when I walked to number 37 to do this.
00:11:01.480 It doesn't matter.
00:11:02.480 We do not serve people without a mask.
00:11:03.480 It does matter.
00:11:04.480 Ma'am, do you want to go in and vote?
00:11:05.480 I am going to vote today.
00:11:06.480 Thank you.
00:11:07.480 And you're not going to impede that in any way, sir.
00:11:09.480 Oh, give it a rest.
00:11:10.480 Go in and vote.
00:11:11.480 Ha.
00:11:12.480 Oh, my goodness.
00:11:15.480 I'm glad I've got your name and your ID.
00:11:17.480 So much.
00:11:18.480 Thank you.
00:11:19.480 Thank you.
00:11:20.480 Thank you.
00:11:21.480 Thank you.
00:11:22.480 Thank you.
00:11:23.480 Thank you.
00:11:24.480 Thank you.
