Following a dispute between two neighbors, Canadians are now able to show the middle finger freely.
While Canadians are renowned for their courteousness, they now have the legal right to display the middle finger, even though it may come as a surprise.
Judge Dennis Galiatsatos’ recent 26-page ruling stated that displaying the middle finger is not only lawful, but it is also a right that all Canadians possess.
The ruling by Galiatsatos emphasized that showing someone the middle finger is not considered a crime and is, in fact, a right that is embedded in the Charter and given to all Canadians.
Although it may be deemed impolite or discourteous, giving someone the finger is not a criminal offense.
Canadians were instructed by Judge Galiatsatos to toughen up and not get offended easily, especially if their conduct may lead someone to show them the middle finger.
The Canadian judge stated that calling 911 is not necessary when someone is told to “f*** off.”
A Turn of the Tables
Michael Naccache and Neall Epstein, who live next to each other in Beaconsfield, Quebec, have a history of disputes, with Naccache accusing Epstein of violating his rights and threatening him in various ways.
Despite the serious accusations made by Michael Naccache against his neighbor Neall Epstein, the truth was quite the opposite, according to Judge Galiatsatos.
The court documents reveal that Naccache has taken extreme measures to monitor Epstein and his family by installing multiple cameras, including dashboard cameras and a high-resolution camera on his motorcycle helmet, and constantly monitoring the footage.
It turns out that Naccache was the one filming his neighbor, and there’s no evidence of the supposed assault. In fact, footage obtained by law enforcement shows that it was actually Naccache’s father who pushed Epstein, while Epstein didn’t retaliate at all.
Two of Naccache’s accusations against his neighbor Neall Epstein were debunked when Naccache’s own cameras showed that Epstein didn’t do anything when Naccache’s father pushed him, despite Naccache’s claim that Epstein assaulted his parents.
And what about the alleged death threats? Naccache claimed that Epstein made a throat-slashing gesture at him on May 18, 2021, after flipping him off with both hands while he was doing renovations on his house. But Naccache’s own cameras reveal otherwise. The footage shows Epstein walking by Naccache’s house on the sidewalk without approaching him.
During his testimony, Epstein claimed that on May 18, he was out for a walk and saw Naccache working on his house. Naccache then started yelling at Epstein while holding an electric drill.
Naccache, holding an electric drill, allegedly yelled at Epstein while he was walking past Naccache’s house. Naccache called Epstein names and threatened him with death. Epstein responded by giving Naccache the finger and telling him to leave him alone, without making any threatening gestures.
Upon his return home, Epstein was met by a police officer who served him with a summons to appear in court.
An Issue of Trustworthiness
Naccache and Epstein appeared before Judge Galiatsatos to present their cases and evidence. The judge quickly determined which neighbor’s story to believe.
The court ruling stated that after reviewing the evidence and hearing the testimony, Mr. Naccache’s claims were deemed untruthful, evasive, and rehearsed.
It appears that Naccache dodged a bullet by not being charged with the crimes he falsely accused Epstein of. Judge Galiatsatos stated that Epstein could have easily pressed charges and Naccache’s allegations would have been more believable. Epstein deserves credit for not doing so.
