Shawn Buckley

Shawn Buckley (@Shawnbuckleylaw) / X
Legal Counsel
In private practice since 1995, Shawn Buckley practices extensively in the areas of criminal and regulatory law. His focus is on protecting Charter rights and testing the constitutional validity of legislation.

He has appeared in the Supreme Court of Canada, the British Columbia Court of Appeal, the Federal Court of Appeal, the Supreme Court of British Columbia, the Federal Court Trial Division, and provincial courts in British Columbia, Alberta, Manitoba and Ontario.

Mr. Buckley has developed expertise in Health Canada litigation and defending regulatory charges under the Food and Drugs Act in the area of natural health products. It is likely that he has defended more charges in this area than any other lawyer in Canada. Most of these cases involved a constitutional challenge.

Mr. Buckley has been called as an expert witness in the area of constitutional law and Food and Drugs Act regulation by committees in both the Senate and the House of Commons. He is routinely invited to lecture concerning the regulation of natural health products by diverse groups such as the Fraser Institute, practitioner groups, consumer groups, and the NHPPA. He was also invited to draft the Charter of Health Freedom.

Prior to entering private practice, Mr. Buckley worked for the Ministry of Advanced Education Training & Technology, the BC Human Rights Council, the Intergovernmental Affairs Branch of the Premier’s Office (which at the time was non-partisan), and Transport Canada. These experiences in government have given him valuable insight in dealing with bureaucracy.

Despite traveling across Canada on legal matters, he is proud to be a Kamloops lawyer.

 210° Celsius w/ Barry Bussey
The Lavigne Show
Lawyer Barry Bussey was called to the Newfoundland Bar in 1993 and the
Ontario Bar in 1996. Barry has devoted his career to defending
conscience. He has served as intervenor counsel in multiple cases
involving religious liberty in Canada. Barry has also advocated for
religious and charitable interests before provincial and federal
governments and represented the International Religious Liberty
Association at the United Nations in New York and Geneva.

In his latest book - his fourth - 210° Celsius: 16 Ways the Truckers
Ignited Canada for the Long Haul, Barry chronicles the events of the
protest, including the invocation of the Emergencies Act, and he
highlights the impact the convoy had on Canadians’ perception of
government, the judiciary, and personal freedom.

Grus Inquiry w/ Chris Vandenbos
The Lavigne Show
2.08K followers

Streamed on: Nov 30, 8:00 am EST

On the next The Lavigne Show we are joined by Chris Vandenbos as we
delve into the intricate and controversial case of Detective Helen
Grus, charged under the Police Services Act with ‘Discreditable
Conduct’ for conducting unauthorized investigations into sudden infant
deaths potentially linked to vaccines. We'll explore the background of
her suspension, the political implications, and the significant delays
in the legal proceedings, including the prosecution's failure to
disclose evidence timely.

A significant focus will be on the Ottawa Police Association's
unprecedented decision not to cover Detective Grus's legal fees. This
move starkly contrasts their history of funding legal defences in
other severe cases involving officers. We'll analyze this decision's
implications, drawing comparisons with past instances in which the
Association provided legal support, such as those involving on-duty
rape and bribery.

We will also highlight the public and media reaction to this case,
reflecting its global impact and the varied perspectives.
Additionally, insights from a survey of Ottawa Police patrol officers
will be shared, revealing their unawareness and concerns about the
Association’s decision, underscoring the need for transparency and
fairness in union support.

In conclusion, the discussion of the ongoing ramifications of this
case for police accountability, union practices, and the broader
dialogues around vaccine safety and police conduct invites viewers to
consider the complex interplay of legal, ethical, and societal factors
in this unfolding story.

Let Freedom Roll: Freedom Focus with Barry W. Bussey

Jan 26, 2022 | Freedom Focus, FRONT PAGE FEATURES

We should not be surprised that it is the Canadian truckers who
finally said enough is enough.  These are our modern-day drawers of
water and hewers of wood whose backs were pushed up against the wall.
 They ensure that when we go to the grocery store – or the hardware
store, or anywhere else for that matter – the shelves are full.  Yet
most of us have no idea what goes on behind the scenes: when we pick
up that package of fresh spinach, we usually give no thought to the
trucker who left his home one early morning, kissing his precious
children goodbye as they slept.  He climbed aboard his rig that was
topped up with fuel and supplies the night before.  The coming light
of dawn shone upon his rig as he rolled up to the American border.
Many solitary kilometers lay ahead of him.  For the next five days he
would travel to Monterey County, California, where he would pick up a
load of freshly picked spinach bound for the grocery stores of the
greater Toronto area.

He is, in fact, one of scores of trucks every week that carry only
spinach.  He is but one in a complex maze that makes our economy run.

It is a complicated business: his reefer must be clean and at the
proper temperature to carry the spinach back during the five-day
return journey to Toronto.  Timing and fuel prices are everything.  He
must ensure he has the right documentation for his trip and the
handling of the cargo, along with the proper authorizations necessary
to cross the border.  There is little to no room for error.

The spinach drivers represent only a small number of the truckers on
our roads.  Nearly every aspect of our lives is dependent on their
labour. When we reach for that spinach, it did not just come there by
happenstance. Fresh spinach in January in a Toronto grocery store is a
modern-day miracle.  It represents thousands of people engaged in the
fresh produce trade that makes it possible for average Canadians to
live far above the lifestyle of the richest European monarchs only a
hundred years ago.  As a society, we are so privileged that we have
lost all comprehension of just how good we have it.

The vaccine crisis brought by the Ottawa bureaucrats, led by the most
polarizing Prime Minister that has ever sat in the PMO, has unleashed
a catastrophic blow to our finely tuned economic miracle that is built
on the backs of the tens of thousands of truckers who deliver our
spinach, our building materials, our automotive parts, our medical
supplies, and everything else that we buy or use on a daily basis.
These men and women who draw our water and hew our wood are now being
chastised, and labelled as terrorists by the same political operatives
who created the problem in the first place.

The Prime Minister’s subsidized press has, of course, condemned the
truckers whose resistance has now turned to one of the most dramatic
protests of Canadian history. These truckers are being dismissed in
the mainstream media for daring to demand accountability from a
government that has raided the financial storehouse of our
grandchildren and demolished the economic miracle that once was a
prosperous Canada.

We are now at a pivotal point where Canadians have to choose whether
to pursue freedom, or be subject to a dictatorial regime that demands
control of our very own bodies.

On Twitter I saw this comment from Andy Lee, whose twitter handle is
@Hannah_Bananaz:

This is not just about truckers.

This is about our parents who died trapped alone in nursing homes.
This is about children who have never played with other children. This
is about lost lives and livelihoods.

This is for them, and more.

This is for justice.

Indeed, the rolling of the trucks across Canada symbolizes the
people’s frustration with draconian and seemingly unending measures
inflicted on Canadians. It is not a convoy of or for the unvaccinated
but a convoy of overburdened Canadians, weary to the breaking point.
And yet, after two years of fear and division, the convoy represents
more than frustration: it is about hope, unity, and courage.

People across the country are lining the highways and the overpasses,
preparing sandwiches, waving flags, showing support to the truckers
who openly challenge the government and media narrative.

Yet, not all Canadians understand the fuss.  Perhaps the critical ones
are those who have not felt the pain of the government restrictions.
Some people, after all, have actually profited over the last two
years. Without personal loss they seem to have trouble empathizing
with those who lost jobs, or whose income was interrupted because they
unexpectedly had to look after children sent home from school; who saw
businesses crumble that took generations to build; who were unable to
worship at church; who were not permitted to travel to see their
families because they were denied a seat on a plane, train or ferry;
who, despite the evolving science that confirms the inefficacy of the
vaccines, were branded by the Prime Minister as racist, misogynist,
and anti-science as he wondered if we should “tolerate these people.”

Well, “these people” and their allies are on their way to Ottawa.
They are joined by a huge gathering of the vaccinated and the
unvaccinated.  These are people who have, deep within them, a burning
desire for truth and freedom.  They are tired of the empty platitudes
of the political suits walking the halls of Parliament; they are tired
of the Ottawa toadies issuing edicts from behind their laptops; they
are tired of the judges that refuse to respect the rights of “these
people” as contained in the written and unwritten constitutional
principles of our legal heritage of freedom.

There is growing, in this country and on our North American continent,
a sense of admiration and respect for those who are willing to speak
truth to power, whether political or pharmaceutical. Hearts of
gratitude are turned to those men and women in their truck convoys,
those drawers of water and hewers of wood that form our economic
backbone. This massive truck convoy is rolling toward Ottawa and
changing the tide of perpetual fear and “othering” that has caused
such division in our country. Never in the field of Canadian politics
was so much owed by so many to so few.

Our hearts go out to these truck drivers for their courage in
confronting government tyranny.  Like the Ottawa river, the convoy
keeps rolling along.  Let it roll.  We could not stop it if we wished.
The Prime Minister cannot stop it.  No one can stop it.  Let it roll
on full flood, inexorable, irresistible, benignant, to broader lands
and better days without the Prime Minister and his Ottawa minions who
have lost their way.  Let it roll.  Let truth and freedom roll.

Who We Are

Barry W. Bussey and Gary E. Ainsworth have been in the practice of law
for a long time. Barry was called to the Newfoundland & Labrador Bar
in 1993 and in Ontario in 1996. Gary was called to the Ontario Bar in
1982. Both are from small towns and have lived in the country for much
of their lives. We understand and live the traditions of small-town
life.



Our approach to the law is not to create conflict but to solve
problems. Whether it is the real estate deal that needs to be closed,
the estate to be settled, the contract to be signed, or the employment
matter to be resolved we are there to provide solutions so our
clients’ lives can move on. We operate on the basis of integrity,
honesty and hard work. We give advice to our clients based on our many
years of experience. We are at the stage in life where we have seen it
all – we know what works and what doesn’t work. If we do not have the
answers right away, we will research to find it. We do our utmost for
our clients.

Two small town guys who made law their career are here to serve you.
Barry W. Bussey

has practiced law for 30 years. He began his legal career in 1993 in
St. John’s, Newfoundland in a general practice. Then in 1996 he moved
his legal practice to Ontario where he served as inhouse legal counsel
for different Christian organisations until 2021. In 1997 he moved to
Trent Hills, Ontario and has lived there ever since. He started the
non-profit First Freedoms Foundation in 2021 to advocate for freedom
of speech, religion and conscience, and inviolability of the person.
In 2000 he was the Canadian Alliance Candidate for the federal
election in the city of Oshawa. He also served for over 2 years as a
representative of the International Religious Liberty Association in
Washington, D.C., New York, and Geneva. Over the years Barry served on
many non-profit sector boards including religious charities,
high-schools, university, and government advisory committees.
Legal Practice

His early years was in a general legal practice. Then later, while
serving as inhouse counsel Barry also carried on a busy private
practice for many years. He has extensive experience in Wills &
Estates Law; Employment Law; Domestic Contracts; Real Estate;
Charities; Faith-Based Organizations; Business Law; and Constitutional
Litigation. He has argued before administrative tribunals, various
levels of court including the Federal Court of Canada and the Supreme
Court of Canada. Barry served as intervener counsel in five cases that
were argued at the Supreme Court of Canada.
Legal Scholarship

Barry’s scholarship includes his past appointment as an Adjunct
Associate Professor, University of Notre Dame Australia (Sydney). In
addition to his advocacy work and general legal practice Barry
continued further study in law, political science and peace and
conflict. He is also an author and editor of legal themed works. For
example, he is the editor of The Status of Religion and the Public
Benefit in Charity Law (2020), Anthem Press; co-editor with Angus

Gary E. Ainsworth

Gary has practiced law for over 40 years. Graduating from Western
University’s law school in 1980, he started his career as corporate
counsel for two large international financial institutions based in
Toronto before returning to his hometown of Peterborough in 1988 when
he opened this firm. Over the years Gary has become a stalwart in the
legal community. His clientele recognizes his warm, hospitable, spirit
as he navigates them through their complex legal issues. For Gary,
challenging legal conundrums are an opportunity to bring about
meaningful assistance to clients. Among his legal quiver is his sage
advice on estate and succession planning.



Gary’s public service includes his current position on the allied
professional advisory council for the Peterborough Regional Health
Centre Foundation. He taught students who were taking courses for the

investment related courses and also taught the law clerk course at Sir

Freedom Convoy crypto holdings to remain frozen and in escrow pending
lawsuit by Ottawa residents

Justice MacLeod adjourned the case to Mar. 9 for defendants to further
consult with their lawyers
Freedom Convoy crypto holdings to remain frozen and in escrow pending
lawsuit by Ottawa residents
Monique Jilesen is a partner at Lenczner Slaght
BY Annabel Oromoni 02 Mar 2022


On Monday, the Superior Court of Justice ordered that crypto holdings
donated for the freedom convoy protest remain frozen and placed into
an escrow account pending the court’s final decision on a proposed
lawsuit against the convoy by Ottawa residents.

Law Times reported that Superior Court Justice Calum MacLeod, on Feb.
17, issued a Mareva injunction freezing assets linked to bank
accounts, fundraisers and cryptocurrency, including Bitcoin, Cardano,
Ethereum, Litecoin and Monero in over 120 wallets raised for the
freedom convoy protest.

The injunction restricted convoy leaders and their fundraisers from
selling, removing, dissipating, alienating, transferring, assigning or
encumbering any listed assets.

Ottawa residents filed a class action against the freedom convoy
protesters seeking $306 million in damages for the three-week
blockade, which disrupted people’s lives and forced businesses to
close. If the lawsuit is successful, the Mareva order secures assets
for the courts to reward residents with some of the protest money
raised by organizers.

Organizers turned to cryptocurrency after the courts froze donations
raised by online fundraising sites. In his initial ruling, Justice
MacLeod wrote that defendants promoted the use of cryptocurrency under
the mistaken belief that it is untraceable and cannot be seized by the
courts or legal authority.

“It’s a pretty big step today that the cryptocurrency assets are going
to be secured in an escrow agent,” says Lenczner Slaght partner
Monique Jilesen.

Lenczner Slaght acted for Champ & Associates, the law firm
representing Ottawa residents in the proposed lawsuit. The firms
brought a motion against Patrick King, Tamara Lich, Christopher
Garrah, Nicholas St. Louis, Benjamin Ditcher and the non-profit
Freedom 2022 Human Rights and Freedoms to demonstrate that they were
leaders of the freedom convoy protests.

Jilesen says defendants delivered responding materials on whether a
Mareva injunction was needed, but arguments were adjourned. The
opposing lawyer, Norman Groot, represented all the defendants except
for Patrick King, who was not present and did not have a lawyer
representing him.

Groot informed the Globe and Mail that defendants Garrah, St. Louis
and Ditcher have agreed to move the donated monies within their
control to an escrow account. Still, the funds might not account for
all the contributed cryptocurrencies.

Superior Court Justice MacLeod extended the Mareva injunction until
Mar. 9 to give defendants more time to consult with their lawyers. He
noted that the order concerned civil damages and was not connected to
ongoing criminal proceedings. The respondents in the injunction are
parties in several ongoing criminal investigations related to the
protest.

“This court proceeding is concerned with potential civil liability for
the organizers, funders and participants in the Freedom Convoy to
residents, businesses and employees in central Ottawa who were
adversely affected. It is independent and separate from any of the
criminal processes that may be underway.”

Bobby Kofman, president of KSV Advisory, the proposed escrow agent,
advised that the injunction was satisfactory, and the firm is prepared
to act as an escrow.

Justice MacLeod adjourned the matter to Mar. 9 at 2:00 pm and reserved
further comments until the next hearing.

>     What injunction? Questions arise around disregard for court order

> It's now the subject of the federal Emergencies Act, which Prime

> EXCLUSIVE: NBer who gave $75K to 'freedom convoy' speaks out | TJ.news
> The New Brunswick businessman who donated $75,000 to the "freedom
> convoy" in Ottawa says he doesn't think there will be ramifications
> from what he did, and that business has never been better.
>
> On Thursday, Brad Howland, president of Sussex Corner-based Easy-Kleen
> Pressure Systems Ltd., told Brunswick News that his bank accounts were
> never frozen by the federal government, and that he
> doesn't expect to be among the people left with a permanent "mark" on
> their bank accounts for donating to the convoy.
>
> He says that's because he donated before the feds invoked the
> Emergencies Act, which gave Ottawa sweeping powers to end the convoy.
>
> Howland said as far as he knows, the money he donated is still in the
> GiveSendGo account frozen by the federal government.
> Earlier this week, according to Blacklock's Reporter, the Canadian
> Bankers Association said that convoy supporters who had their accounts
> frozen will permanently have their files marked. “We primarily relied
> upon the names provided by the RCMP, but there were obligations under
> the order separate that required banks to make their own
> determinations. We did not rely on external information,” Angelina
> Mason, general counsel for the Bankers Association, said at the
> Commons finance committee, according to Blacklock's.
>
> Mason also confirmed that the names of frozen accounts were given by
> the banks to the RCMP.
>
> Asked whether he's worried, Howland shrugged it off, accusing the
> ruling federal Liberals of being "small" people "casting big shadows."
> "I'm quite shocked, as a Canadian citizen, that they would talk like
> this, or even consider it," he said. "You hear the words 'cancel
> culture,' or 'disinformation,' or 'misinformation' ... [the threat of
> permanent marks on bank accounts] is according to who?
>
> "It's a serious thing that these fellas are infringing upon."
>
> According to the federal online registry, Easy-Kleen received pandemic
> relief funds through Ottawa’s Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy.
>
> Howland, a self-professed champion of "freedom" and a fan of former
> U.S. president Donald Trump, then compared the idea of permanent marks
> being put on convoy supporters' bank accounts to policies used by the
> Chinese government.
>
> He added that he's been tracking what "the government" has said during
> the pandemic, and believes the promises that were made to
> Canadians if they followed the rules were never fulfilled. "Not much
> of [what was said] was true ... the government is not always right,"
> Howland said. "Just because the government says something doesn't mean
> it's true, or correct."
>
> Howland said since he made the donation and visited the convoy – which
> he said was misrepresented after "one person" carried a flag with a
> swastika, and a few flew confederate flags – he's received calls and
> letters of support from across Canada and the U.S. – and donations.
> And some companies want to do business with Easy-Kleen because of his
> participation in the convoy, Howland added.
>
> "Our business has never been better," he said.
>
> "People that buy our kind of equipment, they're all industry people
> and we're [all] of like minds.
>
> "Some people said, 'Oh my goodness, Easy-Kleen is gonna go down the
> tubes because of this,' but listen, we're on the right side. When
> you're for freedom, you're on the right side of it. And if you're on
> the right side, it's gonna come around to you."
> Howland said Easy-Kleen's business is "way up."
>
> "We have people buying machines just to buy machines. We have oil
> companies out West calling us and saying, 'We're buying from you guys,
> because you guys are supporting freedom.'"
>
> He also said he's received what he jokingly calls "love mail":
> donations, and gift cards.
>
> So no worries about what he did?
>
>  "I'll never regret it," Howland said.
