Legal Solutions with Stand Up Canada
LEGAL SOLUTIONS:
Legal Solutions is an initiative developed by Stand Up Canada as a result of COVID-19 measures.
PURPOSE:
In a free and democratic society, the power belongs to the people. As such, the purpose of this initiative is to put the power back in your hands during COVID-19. We want to help you to protect, defend and use your civil rights. We are assisting YOU by offering different legal information packages listed below for a donation to Stand Up Canada in the amount of $25, $50, $75 or $100. If the minimum donation is even too much for you, please write to us at info@standupcanada.solutions and we will send you one for FREE.
We are living in unprecedented times. People have lost their jobs. Businesses have gone under. Please pay what you can afford. If you cannot afford a $25 dollar donation, reach out to us at info@standupcanada.solutions and we will sponsor you for free. Want to donate one to someone? Wonderful! You can do that as well...Our goal is to empower you to take a legal stand. Your legal win is everyone's.
LEGAL INFORMATION PACKAGES:
We are offering three different legal information packages to help you find solutions(s) that apply to your circumstance.
#1. Represent Yourself in Small Claims Court (for businesses - damages due to lockdown measures)
#2. Represent Yourself in Provincial Offences Court (for businesses - tickets for staying open)
#3. Represent Yourself - Refusal of Mask Exemption (for individuals - tickets/employment issues) - see important update below on CHILDREN
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CHILDREN - PROMOTION OF OTHER INDEPENDENT LEGAL EFFORTS NOW AVAILABLE - MARCH 2021
If you are on this page, it's because you are searching for information on how to stand up for your rights. While our Legal Information Package #3 for Refusal of Mask Exemption does include children, we are promoting two other completely independent legal actions separate and apart from Stand Up Canada, that go above and beyond what our legal information package offers.
Not only has everyone's health been under attack since the government mandated masks beginning in the summer of 2020, but children in particular are suffering the most harm because they are unable to stand up for themselves. Mandatory mask wearing has gone on for too long and adults and children are suffering with emotional and physical harm. Two law firms are offering legal solutions for CHILDREN (not only school-age children, but vulnerable adult children as well). This information can also be found on our Helping Canadians - Mask Issues page.
Please note that none of the lawyers or law firms mentioned on this page are affiliated whatsoever with Stand Up Canada by any means including any advertising or support. Stand Up Canada is only providing legal referrals of these law firms to let everyone know where to turn to for help in this situation. We are grateful to them for helping!
Immediate course of action, contact a law firm to deal with mask exemption for you and your child(ren) outside of court:
- Amanda Armstrong is a lawyer from Markham Ontario - she is endeavouring to assist parents and their child(ren) in challenging the issues of COVID-19 mask exemptions outside of court processes. "Harm is being done right now to everyone, especially child(ren) who are exempt from COVID-19 masks. Parents are doing their best in taking immediate action to protect their child(ren)’s rights; however, they are encountering several obstacles and are being stonewalled. The puck is passing continuously without any rhyme or reason, leaving parents with no viable recourse for their child(ren). I am here to assist you immediately in defending your child(ren)’s COVID-19 mask exemption right. Contact me to assist you in advocating for you and your child(ren).”
- Contact Amanda Armstrong at 647-949-0269 or email to aptarmstronglaw@gmail.com
- 1/2 hour legal consultation for a discounted rate of $50 + HST
Class-action, if your child(ren) are suffering harms from covid mandates at school (physical and psychological), there is a class-action lawsuit by a non-profit organization, Elders Without Borders, which has been started in Ontario and the intention is to include all provinces:
- Is your child(ren) mask exemption not being honored at school?
- Is your child(ren) suffering physically, mentally, and/or emotionally from the covid mandates?
- If you answered yes to any of these questions please submit an intake form for the Children's Class Action - which can be found on their STANDING TALL FOR OUR CHILDREN page
