01 Preface & How to Read
This is a faithful overview of what I experienced in Toronto between 2023 and 2025: the moves, the incidents, the filings, and the work of rebuilding.
Use the table of contents to navigate chapters. Each chapter closes with a brief summary and cross‑references to timelines or filings. Some names are omitted to protect privacy or because matters are before the courts.
Period covered: June 2023 – November 2025.
02 Moving to Toronto
I relocated from Ottawa to Toronto in mid‑2023. What should have been a straightforward move became the start of a prolonged period of harassment, instability, and legal navigation. I kept contemporaneous notes and evidence: emails, audio logs, images, and message exports.

03 A Chronology of Housing & Displacement
Housing should mean safety. Instead, I faced recurring displacement, interference by third parties, and episodes that I reported as harassment or intimidation. Some incidents involved landlords or bystanders reacting to information about me that appeared to be relayed in real time.
04 Training, Work, and Disruptions
Alongside the housing volatility, I pursued training and work opportunities—insurance licensing (LLQP), data work, consulting, and entrepreneurship. Repeated disruptions, surveillance cues, and intimidation affected onboarding and daily productivity.
- LLQP certification completed; studying sector practices and roles.
- Consulting and transformation projects; building RedKey Consultants Inc.
- Exploration of data‑driven products, GoFundMe communications, and community engagement to sustain legal efforts and recovery.

05 Reporting, Case Files & Interactions with Police
I filed multiple reports across police services. I also submitted supplementary materials (notes, audio, images) when I learned something new or when new incidents occurred. I sought consistent documentation and review.
At times, individuals in public spaces claimed ties to police or RCMP. My requests were simple: take the reports, follow the evidence, and stop the harassment. Where processes stalled, I turned to the courts.
06 Courts & Claims: An Overview
Between 2024 and 2025, I pursued multiple matters in Small Claims and Superior Court, including urgent motions when harm escalated. I relied on the Rules of Civil Procedure, case law for interlocutory relief, and careful record‑keeping to support filings.
- Use of interlocutory remedies framework to seek time‑limited restraint orders.
- Rule‑compliant motion materials: notices, affidavits, draft orders, and facta.
- Ongoing requests to vary or lift any administrative stays solely to hear urgent relief.
07 Technology‑Enabled Harassment
Much of the harm felt coordinated and technology‑mediated: directed audio, tracking cues, and live relays of my activities. In plain terms, people near me appeared to know private details they should not know, sometimes weaponizing them socially or sexually.
- Acoustic projections and sexualized taunts in public settings.
- Real‑time cues in housing, transit, and institutional spaces.
- Patterns suggesting data leakage, inference, or unlawful monitoring.
08 Public Spaces: Transit, Courts, Cafeterias
Harassment occurred during court visits, on transit, and even in courthouse cafeterias or washrooms. Some incidents were sexualized and degrading, including comments about my body and attempts to provoke reactions.
09 Banking & Account Lockouts
My primary chequing account was locked after a disputed transfer. I submitted extensive documentation to the bank’s fraud team, including identity documents and transaction records. The lockout caused cascading hardship during active litigation and housing instability.
- Submitted ZIP archives and document links to fraud investigators.
- Raised concerns about process fairness and staff conduct.
- Continued to request timely review and restoration of access.
10 Rentals, Platforms & Accountability
I allege that rental platforms and certain hosts contributed to instability through wrongful evictions or misrepresentation. Some claims are pursued in Small Claims Court, and I continue to catalogue proofs: messages, listings, cancellation records, and financial loss.
11 Education, Licensing & Certifications
Amid the turbulence, I focused on capacity building: IBM Data Science Professional, Tableau, and the LLQP exam. My background includes an MBA (uOttawa) and a Master’s in Quantitative Economics. I applied these skills to structure evidence and build recovery plans.
- SQL, Python, and Tableau for analysis and dashboards.
- Lean methods to standardize documentation and filings.
- Ongoing interest in PhD‑level research on strategy and civic systems.
12 Building Again: RedKey & Projects
RedKey Consultants Inc. is my way forward—combining strategy, process improvement, and digital enablement for clients. Rebuilding income is essential to sustain legal efforts and return to a stable life.
- Strategic roadmapping, BPI, and data visualization services.
- Ethical guardrails and privacy‑first solutions.
- Community‑minded engagements and transparent outcomes.
13 Mental Health, Safety & Coping
Targeted harassment corrodes attention, sleep, and trust. I adopted routines to limit exposure, use headphones at night in shared spaces, and maintain a calm environment for families around me.
- Night routines and noise management to protect others in the household.
- Document, de‑escalate, and disengage where possible.
- Seek institutional remedies persistently, in writing.
14 Community, Culture & Civic Life
Toronto’s diversity is its strength. It can also be exploited by bad actors who play communities against each other. I advocate for a civic standard that protects everyone equally—without fear, favoritism, or mobbing.
15 Law, Process & What I’ve Learned
Through filings and hearings, I learned to focus on clear, narrow, and actionable relief, supported by specific evidence. Process clarity and persistence matter as much as passion.
- Be precise about the conduct to be restrained and by whom.
- Explain irreparable harm and public‑interest factors succinctly.
- File clean records; index exhibits; keep version history.
16 Evidence, Logs & Method
My method centered on contemporaneous documentation:
- Chronologies with dates, times, places, and actors as known.
- Artifacts: emails (MBOX/EML), screenshots, photos, audio notes.
- Cross‑checks between logs, filings, and third‑party records.
- Privacy: redact where needed; store originals securely.
When new patterns emerged (e.g., platform anomalies, spoofed imagery, cloned postings), I appended structured notes and notified institutions in writing.
