Yesterday was awesome!
I was sitting on the sofa, waiting for dinner (my husband was cooking), and since I hadn’t checked Canlii.org in a while, I opened it up and did a search. Lo and behold, I found 2 newly released decisions concerning the toxic tenants I had, showing that the applications they filed against other people were dismissed. They are publicly accessible on Canlii.org for anyone to access, and one was released on November 12, 2025 and the other one on November 21, 2025.
For 9 years, toxic voices tried to rewrite my story on the 7 websites they created. They gaslit, they projected, they twisted reality until it felt like I was the one on trial in the court of public opinion. They wanted me to carry the shame, the instability, the blame — while they walked free, pretending they had done nothing wrong. They walked away from the applications they filed against me, so I had no real closure.
But then came the moment I never thought I’d see: their mask slipping in black-and-white, on recent decisions released on CanLII.org.
It wasn’t even my cases. Yet reading those judgments, line by line, I felt something shift deep inside. Relief washed over me like a tide.
For the first time, I saw undeniable proof that their gaslighting and manipulations don’t survive under the weight of truth. I read the employment one first, read it 3 times to be honest, before I moved to the school board decision, which was longer. I read that one twice! I even read some of them out loud to my hubby, and hearing it that way made it more real. He could tell how excited I was to see these decisions.
Relief in the Written Word
- Validation at Last: Every lie they told, every smear they spread, was exposed for what it was — empty rhetoric. Seeing the judge’s words dismiss their distortions was like hearing the universe say, “You were right all along, they are toxic.”
- The Weight Lifted: I didn’t realize how heavy the burden had become until I read those pages. Their failure wasn’t just about justice; it was about reclaiming my peace.
- Freedom from Shame: For years, they tried to paint me as unstable, as the problem. But their defeat in those decisions proved the opposite. The shame they projected never belonged to me. No one made them behave the way they did against so many individuals; they chose to act that way.
What Their Failure Means
- Cracks in the Façade: Toxic people thrive on appearances. They build masks of credibility, charm, and false authority. A published decision punctures that mask, showing the world what I already knew.
- Patterns Exposed: Their lack of empathy, accountability, and honesty isn’t just my private burden anymore. It’s public record, accessible to anyone who reads it.
- Ripple of Justice: Even though the case wasn’t mine, their credibility eroded. That ripple strengthens every target they’ve tried to silence, and believe me, there were quite a few!
My Emotional Shift
I closed the browser window feeling lighter than I had in years. Relief turned into empowerment. Hope replaced isolation. For so long, I thought I was alone in seeing the truth about their narcissistic behaviour patterns. But yesterday proved otherwise: others saw it too, and the Canadian Justice system itself recognized it.
I finally got to read that they failed. And in that failure, I found more freedom.
Reading their defeat wasn’t just their downfall — it was my validation. The truth stood tall, and I finally felt all the weight lift.
Closing Reflection
Reading that decision on CanLII.org reminded me that no matter how loud the lies, truth has a way of surfacing. And when it does, it doesn’t just free one individual; it strengthens the whole community.
They weren’t labelled “vexatious litigants,” but it came close; the Motion was there, and the wording is in the decision. If they continue this way, suing in Civil Court and taking various companies to the Human Rights Tribunal, it will come as what they do is an abuse of process.
Here in Newfoundland, we know storms well. They batter our shores, but they never break our spirit. The same is true for those of us who have endured toxic attacks. Each time the truth prevails, it’s like the storm passing — proof that we can withstand the worst and still stand tall together.
When toxicity is exposed as a lie, we all rise a little higher, I know I do today!
