Corruption and Tyranny in the Canadian Justice System

7 Years In Prison for Exposing Corruption and Incompetence in the Canadian Justice System

Mugshot of Patrick Fox Mugshot of Patrick Fox, 2019-04-04

In 2014, while residing temporarily in Vancouver, British Columbia (Canada), I created a website about my ex-wife, Desiree Capuano, to publicly expose what a horrible person she is. In 2015, the RCMP and the the BC Prosecution Service (BCPS) investigated it and determined there was nothing illegal about it. In early 2016, the website received a bunch of media attention in Canada because a bunch of angry feminists were outraged that a man would truthfully expose an evil woman's evil conduct. But still, there was nothing illegal about it, so the Canadian justice system refused to get involved.

Then, in May 2016, I moved back to the US and posted an article on the website telling all those silly, misguided, feminists they can go fuck themselves because there's nothing illegal about the website so the Canadian justice system can't, and won't, do shit about it. A few days later, the BCPS decided the website does, actually, constitute criminal harassment and they arranged for Homeland Security (DHS) to send me back to Canada to be prosecuted.

Over the next seven years (from 2016 through 2023), the BC government prosecuted me seven times, trying desparately to force me to take down the websites. In every instance I was convicted and sentenced to prison. In total, I spent seven years in Canadian prison, refusing to take down these websites. Each time they prosecuted me there was a trial, and each time, I acquired more and more proof of the corruption and incompetence that is the foundation of the Canadian justice system.

And each time, all that proof got published on these websites. That REALLY pissed off the BC judges and prosecutors.

Through all those prosecutions, the BC government had one objective: to prove they could "make me" take down the websites. It was never their goal to simply have the websites shut down; it was their goal to make me shut them down. To prove, contrary to my public assertions, that they can make "a little pissant nobody like me shut down my websites".

Six years into these prosecutions, the BC government admitted on the record, they believe I am playing a "game of chicken" with them and that because of the media attention I, and the websites have received, the government cannot be the one to blink.

At another time, and again on the record, the BC government admitted the reason I am being prosecuted and imprisoned is because my disclosure material (that is, proof of the corruption) keeps ending up on the internet.

So what exactly did I do to piss off the Canadian and BC governments so much? I simply published proof of:

  • Judges and prosecutors lying, on the record, about critical matters, during legal proceedings;
  • Judges refusing to look at or accept proof that the prosecutor was lying;
  • Judges ignoring and even refusing to look at critical evidence, then convicting people based only on the evidence presented by the prosecution;
  • Judges fervently denying they, and the prosecutors, said things during the proceedings, which they did say, even though the transcripts prove they did say it;
  • Judges lying in their published judgments about what was said, and what evidence was presented at the trial and sentencing proceedings;
  • Judges issuing warrants for arrest, knowing the person did not commit the alleged offense;
  • Prosecutors and police hiding and even destroying exculpatory evidence;
  • Prosecutors and police insisting particular physical evidence doesn't exist, even when I obtain that very evidence from their own agency;
  • Prosecutors and police erroneously giving me someone else's disclosure material (case evidence), including the personal and contact information of the victim;
  • Prosecutors admitting, on the record, in court, that the reasons they are prosecuting, imprisoning, and having me repeatedly deported to Canada, is because I keep publishing the material related to these cases, and because they believe I an engaging them in a "game of chicken";
  • Prosecutors and defense lawyers colluding to suppress exculpatory evidence;
  • Prosecutors and defense lawyers colluding to suborn perjurious testimony from the prosecution's witnesses;
  • Police lying under oath, on the witness stand, and the judges refusing to accept the proof the police are lying, then refusing to acknowledge the police lied;
  • Canadian Immigration (IRCC, CBSA) allowing people to be deported to Canada, knowing they are not Canadian citizens;
  • Canadian Immigration, BC judges, prosecutors, and police refusing to obtain readily available proof those deported people are not Canadian citizens.

Perhaps one of the most important features of this website is that I present side-by-side comparisons of what the judges claimed in their official, published judgments to what the court transcripts show actually occurred at the trials, proving how entirely full of shit the Canadian justice system is. And once a judge's statements are entered into those official judgments they become "facts" and "reality" which all subsequent decisions are based on - regardless of whether they're true and regardless of how much physical evidence or obvious reality proves they're false.

My goals through these seven prosecutions and seven years in prison has always been:

  • to generate and gather as much proof as possible, of the corruption and misconduct that goes on daily in the Canadian justice system;
  • to prove I didn't commit criminal harassment, or any other offense based on "vicitmizing" my ex-wife or anyone else;
  • to prove the BC prosecutors and judges are just as vile, delusional, narcissistic, sociopathic, and dishonest as my ex-wife, Desiree Capuano; and
  • to prove the Canadian news media are horrible, despicable people who deliberately withhold and misrepresent information to create false impressions, knowing that doing so will destroy the lives of innocent, decent people.

I believe I have effectively achieved those goals!

In this section, you will find all the shit related to the BC Government's efforts to stamp out free speech - at least as it pertains to these websites.

2016 - 2019: Criminal Harassment

Charges:
  • Count 1:

    Criminal harassment (CCC s. 264)

    Allegation:
    I criminally harassed my ex-wife, Desiree Capuano, by sending her multiple emails and creating a website to threaten, intimidate, and humiliate her, causing her to have an objective fear for her safety.
    Verdict:
    Guilty
  • Count 2:

    Possession of a firearm in a place not authorized (CCC s. 93)

    Allegation:
    I possessed my restricted firearms in a place other than authorized by my Authorization to Transport (ATT), when I brought them to a shipping store to send them to Los Angeles.
    Verdict:
    Guilty
  • Count 3:

    Unlawful exportation of firearms, knowing it to be unlawful (CCC s. 103)

    Allegation:
    I exported my restricted firearms from Canada to the United States without authorization, while knowing it to be unlawful to do so.
    Verdict:
    Stayed by the Prosecution (because it was a bullshit charge that was just used to make sure I would be denied bail).
Sentence:
3 years and 10 months in prison; 3 years probation.
Comments:

The BC prosecutor (Mark Myhre) tried to make it seem as though I had been sending thousands of unwanted emails to Desiree over years, while in fact there was almost as many sent from Desiree to me. Almost all of the emails pertained to the ongoing child custody dispute between us, and Desiree's ongoing refusal to accept her parental responsibilities and to cooperate in our son's best interests.

Although I chose to represent myself, the court forced a lawyer (Tony Lagemaat) on me to do the cross-examination of Desiree. Lagemaat colluded with the prosecution to try to suppress evidence and neither Lagemaat nor Myhre informed the court or the jury of the copious amount of perjury Desiree was committing in her testimony.

Regarding the firearms offense, firstly, all of my firearms were legal and registered. When I was in the process of moving back to Los Angeles, in the Spring of 2016, I brought my firearms back there with me - as I was legally permitted to do. But the prosecution needed to link firearms to the criminal harassment charge, to make it seem more scary, so they claimed I shipped them, covertly, to the US and in order to do that I had to have taken them to the shipping store. Even though there was not one piece of evidence my firearms were ever at the shipping store, I was found guilty.

2019 - 2020: Probation Violation (Leaving Canada/BC Without Permission)

Charges:
  • Count 1:

    Breach of probation (CCC s. 733.1) (failed to report)

    Allegation:
    I violated my probation order by failing to report for probation as required.
    Verdict:
    Acquitted
  • Count 2:

    Breach of probation (CCC s. 733.1) (leave BC without consent)

    Allegation:
    I violated my probation order by leaving BC without the consent of his probation officer.
    Verdict:
    Guilty
  • Count 3:

    Breach of probation (CCC s. 733.1) (within 100 meters of US border)

    Allegation:
    I violated my probation order by being within 100 meters of the us border.
    Verdict:
    Guilty
Sentence:
12 months in prison; 18 months probation.
Comments:

Although I have no status in Canada and am not legally authorized to work in Canada the court imposed a three year probation order prohibiting me from leaving BC. I applied to have the condition removed and when the judge (Heather Holmes) said no, I informed the court I intended to turn myself in to CBSA for the purpose of being removed (deported).

The next day, I turned myself in to CBSA at the Douglas port of entry (POE) and was effectively removed from Canada.

A few days later, the prosecutor (that greasy bastard, Mark Myhre) got a warrant for my arrest and the US authorities sent me back to Canada for prosecution.

CBSA, the RCMP, and the prosecutor (that other greasy bastard, Bernie Wolfe) colluded to destroy the video evidence of me at the Douglas port of entry. Then, CBSA and Wolfe colluded for six months, even lying to the court, claiming there was absolutely no record of me presenting myself at the Douglas POE and therefore I must be lying about having done so.

However, I obtained documents from IRCC showing that I did, in fact, present myself as I had been saying - and proving that CBSA and Wolfe had been lying to the court.

At the trial, the CBSA Officer, Meagan Polisak, perjured herself on a number of issues, including claiming that at a port of entry the burden is on CBSA to prove a person is not a Canadian citizen and, if CBSA cannot prove that, they must allow the person entry to Canada.

2019 - 2020: Probation Violation (Publishing the Websites)

Arrest Date: 2019-12-04
Charges:
  • Count 1:

    Breach of probation (CCC s. 733.1) (publishing the website)

    Allegation:
    I violated my probation order by making publicly available (publishing) the website www.desicapuano.com.
    Verdict:
    Guilty
  • Count 2:

    Breach of probation (CCC s. 733.1) (accessing the interet)

    Allegation:
    I violated my probation order by accessing the internet other than for employment or sending personal emails.
    Verdict:
    Acquitted
Sentence:
6 months in prison; 6 months probation.
Comments:

Starting on 2018-12-30 my probation order came into effect. Amongst other things, the order prohibited me from publishing anything related to Desiree. The prosecutor (that sleazy bastard, Chris Johnson) alleged that in March 2019 I violated that condition by putting the website online. I argued the website was actually put online in 2018, before the probation order came into effect and, as such, could not possibly violate the probation condition because I wasn't even on probation at the time.

Both Johnson and his only witness, Detective Jennifer Fontana, admitted they had no knowledge or evidence of when the website was acually published - whether it was before or after the probation order came into effect.

I pointed out there was another condition on the probation order which required me to take down any websites or material related to Desiree within 24 hours of my release from custody, but that I wasn't charged with violated that condition so it was not relevant. The judge (Nancy Phillips) agreed. I argued the prosecutor is more than welcome to prosecute me for that violation if they wish.

2020 - 2021: Probation Violation (Failing to Shut Down the Websites)

Arrest Date: 2020-09-17
Charges:
  • Count 1:

    Breach of probation (CCC s. 733.1) (failed to take down website (Phillips))

    Allegation:
    I violated my probation order by failing to take down the website within 48 hours of my release from custody (per the Judge Phillips order).
    Verdict:
    Guilty
  • Count 2:

    Breach of probation (CCC s. 733.1) (failed to take down website (Holmes))

    Allegation:
    I violated my probation order by failing to take down this website within 24 hours of my release from custody (per the Justice Holmes order).
    Verdict:
    Stayed by the Prosecution
Sentence:
16.5 months in prison; 12 months probation.
Comments:

When I was interrogated by the police I was consistently sarcastic, joking, and satirical with them. did not take any of it seriously. I had been expecting them to come and arrest me because the website was still online.

Leading up to the trial, while I was being detained in jail, I made multiple requests to the prosecutor (that ever more sleazy, Chris Johnson) to be provided the disclosure material. Johnson ignored my disclosure requests. Then, three days before trial, the prosecution gave me over 100 pages of disclosure and over 2 hours of untranscribed recordings of my interactions with the police on the day of my arrest. No witness list was provided.

At the start of the trial, I and Johnson informed the judge (Gregory Rideout) that I had only received the disclosure three days prior and had not received notice of the prosecution's intention to call any witnesses. The judge didn't care about any of that and said I should have raised these issues prior to the trial.

The only witness Johnson called was Detective Kyle Dent, who was the detective that interrogated me. Dent and Johnson knowingly and deliberately mislead the court by presenting all of my statements to Dent as being serious and sincere, even though they knew they were not. And, since I had only received the disclosure material less than 72 hours before the trial I had had no time to prepare to cross-examine Dent.

2021 - 2022: Probation Violation (Failing to Shut Down the Websites)

Arrest Date: 2021-08-17
Charges:
  • Count 1:

    Breach of probation (CCC s. 733.1) (failed to take down website)

    Allegation:
    I violated my probation order by failing to take down the website within 48 hours of my release from custody.
    Verdict:
    Guilty
Sentence:
12 months in prison; 3 years probation.
Comments:

At this trial I testified and the reality came out that, in fact, I wasn't the person who put the website online, and since it's been up I've had no involvement in it. The website was put online while I was still in custody in 2018, so it would have been impossible for me to have had any involvement in that. In addition, all the updates to the site, since then, have occurred while I was in custody - so, again, it would have been impossible for me to be the person making those updates.

And, since I don't have any ownership or control over the website, I have absolutely no ability to take it down!

At this trial, I cross-examined Detective Kyle Dent regarding his testimony at the previous trial (in 244069-7-B) and Dent effectively admitted he had lied (committed perjury), and that he and the prosecutor Chris Johnson deliberately mislead the court regarding my statements to him.

Nevertheless, even though it was proven that I could not possibly have put the website online or had any involvement with it, the judge (Kathryn Denhoff) found me guilty.

After entering her verdict and her Reasons for Judgment, while Johnson was making his sentencing submissions, the judge revealed that she was mistakenly under the impression I had access to the internet and to my email from within the jail. This is a major issue because that means her guilty verdict and her refusal to believe my testimony about it not being possible for me to have been involved in the website because I was in custody at all times relevant, was based on that false belief. But do you think the judge would declare a mistrial or reconsider her verdict? Hell, no!

2022 - 2023: Probation Violations (Failing to Shut Down the Websites; Failing to Report)

Arrest Date: 2022-05-16
Charges:
  • Count 1:

    Breach of probation (CCC s. 733.1) (failed to report for probation as directed)

    Allegation:
    I violated my probation order by failing to report, in person, to the probation office as directed.
    Verdict:
    Acquitted
  • Count 2:

    Breach of probation (CCC s. 733.1) (failed to take down website)

    Allegation:
    I violated my probation order by failing to take down the website within 48 hours of my release from custody.
    Verdict:
    Stayed by the Court
  • Count 3:

    Breach of probation (CCC s. 733.1) (published information about Desiree Capuano)

    Allegation:
    I violated my probation order by publishing new or additional information about Desiree Capuano.
    Verdict:
    Guilty
Sentence:
15 months in jail; 3 years probation
Comments:

In this case, I was accused of failing to report to the probation office as directed - even though I actually DID report exactly as directed. The probation order explicitly stated I was only required to report one time, within 72 hours of my release. And I did exactly that. But the probation officer (not the court) insisted I come back and report a second time two days later. I said I would not. A few days later, the probation officer obtained a warrant for my arrest, from the court, based on the false allegation that I failed to report as directed.

I was also accused of failing to take down the website within 48 hours of my release, even though the website was actually already offline prior to, and at the time of my release.

And, I was accused of publishing new or additional information about Capuano on the website - even though the physical evidence, in the form or network access logs of the Vancouver Police Department's computer network proved that no one within the VPD even attempted to access the website on the days the police claim they were able to access it.

Prior to the trial, the prosecution stated they would not be relying on any information from my phone, which was seized at the time of my arrest. Then, on the first day of the trial, the prosecutors, Tara Laker and Ryan Elias, announced that they did intend to call an expert witness to testify about information found on my phone. This caused an unnecessary and unjustified 30 day delay in the end of the trial. It was later discovered that the police had actually extracted the data from the phone and searched it about three weeks after the time authorized by the search warrant, but the judge (Jennifer Oulton) ignored that and ruled the search lawfull nonetheless.

The VPD's IT Manager, Johnny Lam, testified regarding the network access logs. First, on direct-examination, he admitted that the party within the VPD who testified she was able to access the website on 2022-05-16, would have had to have gone through the proxy server (which would mean there should have been entries for it in the access logs, but there were not). As soon as Lam said that, Elias promptly realized that completely destroyed their entire case against me and proved the VPD witnesses had committed perjury. The prosecutors asked for a recess. The judge granted it. The prosecutors stepped outside with Lam. Then, after the recess, Lam did a 180 and testified that ealier he was mistaken and that that particular user would not go through the proxy server. This was, of course, a lie. When I cross-examined Lam, he literally stated in response to every question, that he has no knowledge of that - even though, as the IT Manager, it was exactly his job to know the answers to the questions I was asking (for example, about how certain users access the internet, whether the server he falsely claimed the user in question goes through is actually just a file server, not a proxy, gateway, or NAT server). Lam also contradicted his own testimony a number of other times. Yet, the judge, ultimately, accepted the parts of Lam's testimony which would incriminate me, and ignored everything else.

This case is also extremely critical because at the bail hearings the prosecutor, Adam Flanders openly admitted: 1) that the BC government is playing a game of chicken with me; and 2) that due to the media coverage I, and my cases have received, it is imperative that the government not be the one to blink in that game of chicken.

Canadian Government Allowed Me To Be Deported to Canada, Knowing I'm Not A Canadian Citizen

In 2009, DHS told the Canadian government I am a Canadian citizen. In 2013, Canada allowed the US to deport me to Canada based on the US's claim.

I consistently maintained I am not a Canadian citizen, nor the person DHS was claiming I was.

Nothing was done by the Canadian government to verify whether I was the person DHS claimed I was. Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) and the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) accepted DHS's claim without actually verifying it. In fact, IRCC and CBSA have consistenly, expressly refused to attempt to verify my identity with a simple DNA test, insisting "the US authorities have already determined [I] am a Canadian citizen".

Canadian Government Refuses to Let Me Leave Canada, Keeping Me There Against My Will

Since 2019, IRCC acknowledges in their official records, that I was born in the US and never applied for or received Canadian citizenship, however they continue to insist I am a Canadian citizen.

By doing that, they are enabling the US to continue to deport me to Canada, effectively forcing me to remain in Canada against my will.

At the same time, the Canadian government refuses to authorize me to receive any benefits (e.g. employment authorization, health care).
