Dear Alex Strachan,

Re: Cease and Desist Notice

I am writing again to formally demand that you cease and desist from publishing defamatory libel against residents and business entities on Gabriola Island BC.

As you did not comply with our initial request of August 7th to remove defamatory content from your web site votewithyourmoney.org, we have had the Internet Service Provider, Hostinger, disable the web site for legal violations.

You are directed to remove any reference to any individuals on Gabriola on the following web sites respectlistenlove.com and votewithyourmoney.ca

If you fail to comply by end of day Monday September 9th, we will petition the registrars Network Solutions Canada ULC and Realtime Register B.V. to disable these web sites permanently as well.

You are reminded of the following.

As per the Criminal Code of Canada, Section 298(1), defamatory libel is defined as matter published, without lawful justification or excuse, that is likely to injure the reputation of any person by exposing them to hatred, contempt, or ridicule, or that is designed to insult the person.

You have been engaging in the following prohibited conduct as outlined in Section 298(2) of the Criminal Code of Canada:

1. Publishing defamatory statements, either directly or by insinuation or irony, in words legibly marked on any substance on the public facing web sites https://respectlistenlove.com and https://votewithyourmoney.ca

2. Using objects to signify defamatory libel otherwise than by words.

Your actions are causing significant harm to the reputation and well-being of the individuals named above. It is demanded that you immediately:

1. Cease and desist from any further publication of defamatory libel against the individuals named above, or any other residents of Gabriola Island.

2. Remove any existing defamatory content from all platforms and media where it has been published.

Failure to comply with this demand may result in legal action being taken against you, including but not limited to seeking criminal charges for defamatory libel under Section 298 of the Criminal Code of Canada.

Finally, as the RCMP explicitly informed you in-person, your self-documented harassment of specific Gabriola Residents may also be in violation of the Criminal Code of Canada, Section 264(1), you are requested to cease all contact with any of the individuals listed above by any medium and for any reason.

It was hoped that your most recent intervention with the RCMP would have provided unambiguous clarity as to the potential legal jeopardy you are facing if you continue to libel and harass community members.

I trust that you will take this matter seriously and act accordingly to rectify the situation.

Sincerely,

Gabriola Resident, Esq.

You do realize that any legal action will require you to reveal yourself to the Committee and everyone else?

It's pretty hard to take you seriously when you have to conceal yourself.

You keep saying: "individuals named above," but there aren't any. You even read through this before sending it?

You know what my defense will be?
Honesty.
