Canada’s national police force is withholding information used to commit elections fraud.
Elections Canada confirmed ‘Nationalist’ candidates during the 44th Federal Election (September 20th, 2021) without the Canadian Nationalist Party’s consent.
The Party was impersonated while it’s Leader, Travis Patron, remained incarcerated by the Province of Saskatchewan on allegations of wilfully promoting hatred against an identifiable group.
Patron was released from custody after Elections Canada de-registered his Party.
Patron maintains that the Crown’s refusal to disclose the information used to de-register his Party is an infringement of his section 11(a) Charter right to be informed without unreasonable delay of the specific offense.
Despite an application being made to the Federal Court in Winnipeg for a judicial review of the matter, the RCMP continues to withhold the information.
In protest, Patron has refused to unpublish the propaganda in question and, in response, the RCMP has again laid charges of wilfully promoting hatred for doing so.
In both cases, the complainant has been Richard Warman, a senior director of the Canadian Anti-Hate Network.
In 2019, the Canadian Anti-Hate Network failed to prevent the Canadian Nationalist Party from gaining registration with Elections Canada despite being financed by the federal government’s Multiculturalism and Anti-Racism Initiatives Program.
As part of the successful application to register in 2019, Elections Canada has stated that the Canadian Nationalist Party has the “right to access and/or correct personal information under the Privacy Act“.
Yesterday, the Provincial Court of Saskatchewan presiding in Carlyle dismissed an application to stay the proceedings, an application which includes the claim that Patron has been the victim of identity fraud due to the use of information that the RCMP refuses to disclose.
Victims of identity fraud are entitled to restitution in order to re-establish their identity, including resources to correct their credit history and replace identity documents such as a passport.
Justice Miller acknowledged the claim of identity fraud and dismissed it as “frivolous”.
The RCMP is bound by section 37(d) of the RCMP Act to avoid an apparent conflict of interest.
