Passports versus emergency travel documents [Patrick Fox; Mark Myhre (BCPS)]

Dear Mr. Myhre:

At my probation variance hearings in early 2019 you made reference to what you referred to as “Mr. Fox's Canadian passport”, and you pointed out that I included a copy of that passport with the documents I had submitted for those hearings. My own evidence, you argued, supports the Crown's position that I am a Canadian citizen.

Well, Mr. Myhre, it seems now is the appropriate time to bring the following to your attention: the document I included with my supporting evidence, which you erroneously, yet smugly and condescendingly, insisted was my own Canadian passport, was actually an emergency travel document (ETD) – NOT a passport. It was issued to ICE by the Canadian Consulate in Los Angeles, based solely on the request by ICE and on the information provided by ICE, for the exclusive purpose of my entry into Canada as a result of my deportation by ICE between the date of issuance and date of expiration as stated on the ETD.

I'm going to assume you were aware of that, since the dates of issue and expiration, which were very clearly stated on the ETD, were only a few days apart, whereas passports are issued for 5 years; and because the photo on the ETD was a mugshot taken by ICE while I was in their custody; and because the dates of issue and expiration were while I was in ICE custody and ICE was actively trying to deport me.

So, Mr. Myhre, did you know the document was an ETD, not a passport, and you were deliberately misleading (lying to) the court again; or were you mistaken (again) yet nevertheless arguing based on that mistaken understanding?
