This is Exhibit # 354557 As to why Canadian cannot be trusted. We are living in the most Soviet-like police state in the Western world with ZERO accountability.

The Crown is telling an honest cop to lie in order to destroy a mans life just so they can protect the most powerful.

These are the same people who would tell the FBI to lie about Russia-Gate to destroy Trump. Well, lies have consequences and now we have 100s of thousands dead who were young, lively Ukranian or Russian before Biden won in 2020.

Do NOT become like Canada. Learn about how the apparatuses work here to destroy our citizens from the cradle to the grave. Our federal government realizes just how much damage these corrupt outfits have done to our reputation with America as they operate covertly in corporations here.



A veteran Crown attorney is being accused of berating a Toronto police officer while suggesting he should have given “false evidence” on the stand.
The explosive allegation involves a tense encounter between prosecutor Marnie Goldenberg and Const. Edin Hasanbasic in January, during which she admonished the officer in the hallway of the Toronto provincial courthouse at 10 Armoury St. — within earshot of several witnesses — about his testimony at the trial of a man accused of intentionally hitting another officer with a motorcycle.

Hasanbasic, who was called as a witness by the defence, had just told the court it didn’t look like a head-on collision and that the other officer “seemed like he was fine” and was not seriously injured; it was testimony that risked hurting the Crown’s case.
In his notes about the hallway encounter, Hasanbasic wrote that the prosecutor was yelling and swearing about his testimony.
He wrote that he told Goldenberg, “What am I supposed to do? Lie?”
“She responded with, ‘We protect our own,’” he wrote.

Goldenberg, a prosecutor of 22 years whose husband is a police officer, has acknowledged she confronted Hasanbasic, but adamantly denies saying those words — “Police officers are not my own, and it is not my job to protect them.”

She instead pointed the finger at Hasanbasic for approaching his obligations as a witness with a “lack of seriousness,” saying she confronted him with a “slightly elevated” voice because his testimony deviated from what he had said about the motorcycle incident in his notes and statement at the scene. She said she wanted to remind him of the importance of making accurate notes and standing firm when testifying.

“I would never tell a witness to lie,” Goldenberg says. “Ever.”

It will be up to Ontario Court Justice Mara Greene to sift through the conflicting statements in search of the truth. The drama inside the courthouse, caught on camera but without sound, is detailed in an application by the accused, Khalid Patrick Idris, to have his charges thrown out due to abuse of process. The defence is pushing for a stay of proceedings not just because of the interaction between Goldenberg and Hasanbasic, but because she chose not to call him to testify when the defence argues his evidence could have helped clear Idris.



Defence lawyer Elham Ellen Jamshidi, who handled the trial in January, called Hasanbasic to the stand. While the Crown argued that Idris deliberately struck the sergeant, Hasanbasic testified that it looked like the bike was going to pull over and that while it made contact with the officer, it was not a head-on collision.
Young “seemed like he was fine,” Hasanbasic testified in January. “I know that he completed his shift, which means he wasn’t injured seriously enough.”
After his testimony was over, Hasanbasic wrote that Goldenberg confronted him by “telling me that is the most embarrassing, pathetic testimony she has heard in 37 years.”
“I respond with, ‘I’m not sure what you want me to do, I was just telling the truth.’”
