The Democracy Fund invites all Canadians facing COVID-related fines to contact us for possible free legal assistance as we continue the fight against government overreach and have saved individuals over $56 million in fines since the pandemic began.
CALGARY: From the beginning of the pandemic, The Democracy Fund (TDF) has fought COVID-related government overreach and over-zealous prosecution. With the generous support of our donors, we have provided legal representation to thousands of Canadians: students opposed to vaccine mandates, dissident doctors & nurses, ordinary travellers subject to invasive tests or compelled to disclose private medical information, peaceful Freedom Convoy protesters.
In particular, TDF has successfully helped thousands of Canadians with charges under the Quarantine Act, saving them more than $56 million in fines.
Even as the government doggedly pursues Canadians for these alleged crimes - and serious crimes go unpunished - time is running out for the state. This is because, under Canadian law - as required by s.11(b) of our Charter and affirmed in a 2016 case called R. v. Jordan - timely completion of legal matters is crucial: failure to do so may fatally compromise the government's case.
For nearly three years, TDF has been advocating on behalf of clients facing these issues. We intend to keep our promise: TDF is committed to seeing this through to resolution.
So, if you or someone you know is facing a COVID-related ticket, TDF may be able to assist. Please use our Contact page to reach out to us, or you can do so by clicking here.
