Attention: Honourable Wally Oppal

I am writing to ask that you do all within your power to reinstate anti-SLAPP legislation in B.C. It is unfair that those holding the trump dollars and cents card have the power and ability to leave those with a lesser hand no choice than to ultimately fold. This undermines our justice system, helps maintain the status quo, and puts in peril our democratic right to freedom of speech.

The BC SPCA, a large organization has launched a lawsuit against a smaller group, The Animal Advocates Society, in an effort to keep this underdog quiet. Monies that ought to be spent on the care and welfare of animals is now being wasted on this action.

Your consideration and attention to the above is appreciated.

Sincerely,

Carmina Gooch
