If reporting the Smith screed, you can also include these details in your complaint.

It may also be reportable to the RCMP as potential violation of Canadian Criminal Code, Section 122 Breach of public trust.

Proving breach of public trust under s. 122 should include:

[1] ☐ identity of accused as culprit

☐ date and time of the incident

☐ jurisdiction (incl. region and province)

☐ the accused was an « official » (holds « office » or is « appointed or elected to discharge a public duty »);

☐ the accused was acting in connection with the duties of his or her office;

☐ the accused’s conduct represented a serious and marked departure from the standards expected of an individual in the accused’s position of public trust; and

☐ the accused acted with the intention to use his or her public office for a purpose other than the public good, for example, for a dishonest, partial, corrupt, or oppressive purpose.
