Franck Gervais faces charges after impersonating soldier at Remembrance Day ceremony - Politics - CBC News


Well, that should make a lot of people happy! A lot of taxpayers money getting spent that would be better off charging the A$$holes who are raping/killing women in MB and throwing them in the river. How many years will this go on for?

Throw the book at him

What took the law so long can't wait for the explanation

 

[gerryh]

string im up.




Get all the rope in Texas and find an old oak tree, then hang im from the highest branch for all the folks ta see.

Throw the book at him

Absolutely not. Throwing books around damages the binders and eventually we the taxpayers have to have them replaced.

 

[Retired_Can_Soldier]

Waste of tax dollars.

 

[Machjo]

I hope it all goes fast and he's fined to recoop the costs then send him back to work n pay his taxes.

 

[JLM]

Waste of tax dollars.

Totally!

The law should be rewritten making impersonating an officer a fineable offence. Then if he wants to challenge the fine in court that would be his choice but with all the evidence most would just pay the fine.

This is a reaction to a despicable act, but it hardly merits criminal charges. He's a liar, possibly a pathological liar, but beyond pretending to be someone he is not he has only inflicted damage upon himself and his family. I don't feel much pity for him, but spare the outrage and let's move on.

Let's go lock up some Child Molesters rather than an idiot poser.

But. . . but. . . he impersonated a sergeant, not an officer.

"'Falsely impersonating a Canadian Armed Forces member is an issue to be taken seriously and is covered under Section 419 of the Criminal Code of Canada.'"

How do you falsely impersonate ?

Earlier the DND or whomever had him "personating"

"wiggle to the left
then wiggle to the right
and ..............personate
yah.........per son ate.

He and his bosses should do a comedy routine.........along with the Ottawa police.

How many people are guilty of impersonating Santa Claus?

Huh? The point was saving money on court cases. What does rank have to do with that?

Good point. The other option is to just scrap that law altogether.

You said impersonating an officer should be made a fineable offence. Just pointing out Gervais didn't impersonate an officer.

A Sergeant is a non-commissioned officer.

Good point. I'll blame it on lack of sleep.

Ah heck just to get back at ya, a sergeant is an officer, just not a commissioned one. An NCO (noncommissioned officer).
So there.

But I do get the point that this could apply even to a private.

 

[JLM]

Just a small point here, the article said the uniform was incorrect, so I'm thinking a good lawyer (get up here Bones) could argue he wasn't impersonating anyone!

Poor boy. Nobody ever told you that NCO stands for Non-Committal Orifice?
