The BC father known as CD in court documents appealed his contempt of court conviction related to a publication ban regarding his then minor-aged daughter's medical transitioning..The case was heard at the BC Court of Appeals on May 31 on the eve of Pride Month. Following proceedings, the father made a series of Facebook posts to recap. He cannot be named in Canadian media due to the publication ban..“Where do you begin on a day that was a real circus? I guess you start by saying you are back home. However, I am not home because I was exonerated. Rather, I am home because I continue to remain out on bail while the three-judge panel at the BC Court of Appeal deliberates their judgment. My legal team at the Johnston & Doyle law firm did an incredible job defending me today ... and definitely outperformed the ‘Crown’ of the AG office,” wrote CD..“By comparison ... these judges were very annoyed with ‘crown’. They quizzed ‘crown’ counsel as to why they made a plea deal for 45 days as time served back in April 2021 while now demanding that the full half year sentence (and $30000 fine) be upheld. The answer from Crown might startle you ... although it probably should not. ‘Crown’ stated that after review of their initial position of the 45 days they saw the ‘truth’ in the half-year sentence and now believe the government needs this huge disciplinary deterrent because it is unacceptable that another ‘parent’ should ever question their child's preferred gender as I did in opposition to this government best interest (control) over our children.”.The Crown also protested that CD reached out to American media who would not be covered by a publication ban..“The BC government brought up something very interesting today during the Appeals hearing. They said that I had outwitted the Canadian court system and was therefore very dangerous. They made the argument that after Canadian Court rulings gagged any and all Canadian stories on my case ... they were effectively taken down in Canada,” CD explained..“Therefore, I made the ‘brilliant decision’ to engage the USA media ... where my testimony continues to be readily available and gaining an ever increasing ‘popularity’!” .CD served 69 days before his release on bail, though his conditions require he remain in British Columbia. The panel of three judges reserved judgment indefinitely based on the large amounts of documents and complexity of the case. CD said he expects the verdict sometime between three weeks and three months from now..“Personally, what I think is telling is all three judges admitted they had searched everywhere for a previous case with any comparables and they found zero! They made it clear this case was the first of its kind in Canada and that we were in uncharted territory when it came to a precedent. This is why I believe it could take some time for a judgment because these three judges are about to establish a ‘first’ in Canada,” wrote CD..The parent has been banned from Twitter for misgendering, something American journalist Matt Walsh highlighted in a recent tweet. On Facebook, CD lamented more Canadians weren’t backing him up or paying attention..“What happened in court today has an incredible affect on your life except the clear message was that only 5 people showed up today and gave a damn!!!!!!!!!!.“Truthfully, I am beyond pissed off!.“Why should my American friends in the media care more about your children than you!?”
