Summary

AHS took control of my building because I refused to give up my fundamental rights and freedoms for any reason short of due process. This is the Canada we live in right now. That's not justice, that's a backroom meeting between a legislative authority and the judicial branch of government. I wasn't represented in that decision. They just went to the court and the court said what you were going to do is illegal and we're going to arrest you.
