Updated: The defamation case was dismissed based on qualified privilege. The NDP had a deeply held belief that my words were racist, the judge did not find that finding, he found that the words were insensitive, but did not find them to be racist. Making comparisons to two points in time like I did, 1930’s Germany and covid lockdowns was accurate in not just my opinion but the expert opinion of Vera Sharav, a holocaust survivor who was denied being allowed to testify to that in the trial. The writing was on the wall with that decision to not allow her testimony.

With all that being said, wab kinew the leader of the NDP in Manitoba recently made comparisons to Nazi Germany and Donald trumps actions, Nahanni Fontaine has also retweeted reference to nazis and in how the lgbtq community are treated. 

They do what I did and then call me racist. 

This case was dismissed based on a feeling. After all it seems these days that feelings matter more than facts.

The NDP were also awarded costs and they are seeking a large amount and in my view, meant to punish. So we have to head back next month and argue for the costs, I feel of course they are entitled to as little as possible and they feel they are entitled to as much as possible. 

I would like to once again ask for your help in contributing what you can to help me On this final leg of the legal battle and help cover my costs from the legal bills

Patrick Allard is a Manitoba freedom fighter that came to public attention during the Covid lockdowns. He is arguably the provinces most heavily ticketed individual for Covid lockdown defiance, and was also arrested twice for peacefully protesting  

He has decided to enter the realm of politics as a means of working on solutions. 

During an election for MLA in March of 2022, he entered as an independent. During the course of this campaign, the Manitoba NDP sent out a press release calling Mr. Allard a racist.  This seems to be the tool of anyone who disagrees with someone these days when they have no argument to challenge the ideas, instead they jump to these defamatory, and harmful comments. 

Rather then just let these damaging comments slide by, Patrick decided to hold the NDP accountable for their harmful and hateful words, these are damaging to anyones reputation and we need to stop this sort of behaviour going forward. 

The Leader of this country, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, labelled and defamed unvaccinated Canadians as being not only racist but misogynistic extremists who do not believe in science simply because of their decision not to take a vaccine. It is a sad state of affairs when political leaders resort to name-calling and baseless accusations in order to silence opposition. I will not be silenced, and I hope that others will join me in speaking out against this kind of behaviour. 

As we all know legal fees for lawyers and court are not cheap, and Patrick would like to continue this suit to its fullest and hold the NDP accountable and send a message that harming someones reputation with zero evidence will not be tolerated  

If you’re tired of these attacks or have been a victim yourself,  please consider donating to help Patrick set precedent and put an end to these defamatory comments, harmful press releases and help send a message through the political arenas that this is unacceptable.   

Any remaining funds that are not used towards this legal battle will be used towards freedom initiatives such as the charter challenges Mr. Allard is involved in. Related to prohibitions on peaceful assembly gatherings as well as the forced use of masks. 

If you simply dislike the current NDP government in Manitoba, consider giving a small donation to help hold them accountable
