I would like to hire you as my legal attourney. My son has a disability and was discriminated against by his daycare director because of his disability.

First Edmonton Swat team came to Sunchild. at my residence which has a locked gate and no trespassing signs at the locked gate. A 10 man swat team came to arrest me on mischief charge. the charge was from chasing away workers on my late grandfathers land. Working on the land when no permission given by Indigenous Affairs Canada. this had been going on for a year and half. Rcmp would come and chase me away from the site which is located within the original 1938 fence line that my grandfather put up. Sunchild didnt become a Treaty Reserve until 1945. After about a year and half Swat team came broke my lock on my gate, busted my deadbolt on my house door. Pepper sprayed my dogs. 10 man swat team in plain clothes with bullet proof vests and automatic rifles arrested me in a violent manner. Then in May 2023 my duty counsel had 8 charges withdrawn by the Crown. In September 2023 duty counsel had the last 4 charges withdrawn. From January 2023 until September 2023 my lands Sarah Hansen suggested I leave Sunchild because she said they are only going to get to worse refering to Sunchild chief and council allowing the whiteman crews to mock me , harass, intimidate me. At her word I left my house on sunchild reserve. At this time SH my Lands Lawyer is in court proceedings with Sunchild leadership over the over my Grandfathers land .I went to Edmonton and lived on streets for a total of 8 months. No home, no job. September 2023 was my last trial date charges withdrawn I moved home. 1st day home I was walking with my puppies from my house to my moms. Prentice Creek workers stopped on the road began saying stuff to me and called the Rcmp and right away they were there arrested me took me to Rocky detachment at which point I was assaulted by 3 officers. when I was on the ground a knee was placed on the back of my kneck and i couldnt breathe. was thrown in the cells with my head bleeding lots from being thrown head first onto the cement floor. I asked to go to the hospital and was denied. 18 hours later i was released from custody with no charges. i went to Rocky hospital right away and docter took care of it. He took pictures because it was big gash above my eye. From January 2023 I havent had good sleeps, I have nightmares from the Swat team arresting. I havent prayed or sang my Sundance songs since that January day. I grew a cultural and spiritual person. i dont believe in Creator since Swat team arresting. I have never smoked pint "Meth" ever in my until March 2023. because of the nightmares i was and still am terrified to sleep. ive spoken with a therapist who i met in edmonton had told me i have PTSD because of the incident. almost 2 years I was threatened by Whiteman workers on my land. harassed by Rcmp. im not the person I was. I cry eveyday ive lost weight because of not eating, smoking pint to stay awake. Yet the work continues, i wont walk to my moms because Prentice creek workers literally try run me over on the road. Saying there scared I will hurt them. The way I lived in Edmonton was to Hell and back. for being put thru all this somthing needs to be done. can you help me?

I was forced off a plane by 2 Calgary Officers and denied my rights. I demanded a reason or evidence as to why I was being detained. They denied me and proceeded to take me to Foothills hopsital. There, when I requested the number for legal aid, was I given an incorrect number and spoke to 2 seperate people claiming to be lawyers with legal aid. I later confirmed with legal aid that they have no record of this conversation. I was unlawfully held for 7 days and evaluated with being told I was to be held for 30 days on a form 1. I contested it and was later released as there was no evidence to support the allegation that had me there. It was said that I was making threats to embassys via text and email. THe Calgary police knowing fully well there was no evidence allowed me to remain in the custody of the hospital for 7 days. This is not the first time. Its been ongoing for the last 10 years. Now, they are investigating my complaint and Im in the process of speaking with a Sergeant from the the professional conduct board. I'm tired of being ignored as a human being with rights and put in this positions based of of hear say with nothing to support the allegations. For this reason I would like to take legal action against the police and the city of Calgary. I was told you would be a great fir for this type of civil matter. I have reached out to many lawyers so fat and received no response. I could really use your help. I hope to hear from you.

trying to find a lawyer willing to take my case, It's been the hardest thing cause of who wanting to take to court. Let me begin; . I was in an accident in 2019 on my way to work caused by a CN Rails vehicle totalling my 2016 Ford Edge deploying airbags to head & feet causing a broken left ankle, broken rib & severe concussion to head knocking glasses off which I need to see. I am a indigenous woman & was racially profiled. Cop did six roadside breath tests but wouldn't show me, but again because of the accident, as well treating me like crap.I was in shock crying & wanted to go to hospital. He kept ignoring me. Emt's showed up but they also racially profiled me saying & I quote " We know their kind' & wouldn't take me to hospital. Go to the police station where I was strip searched by a male cop without cause, recorded going to the bathroom without me knowing where saw me exposed. They said in case I was trying to flush anything? Again prior to this the strip search happened. I did go to hospital after my common law husband picked me up. Have everything showing was hurt Was charged with a dui & failing to show insurance or registration, but again they wouldn't let me get papers from the vehicle. I ended up proving my innocence & winning my first trial & the police appealed it. Again I won a second trial after everything they tried to pull. This was going on all through covid, dragging it on where found out couldn't go after CN Rails for this, even when they were found at fault. The Emts for their role denying medical attention. They drained me dry after both cases where I couldn't go after the cops for breach of charter of rights. I now have enough funds to fight the police & emts on this after receiving a large sum from my band. I know it's a loss cause for the CN Rails because of the length of time? But praying can find some kind of justice?
