Does anyone know whether Dawn Walker attended the event where Dawn Dumont was a nominee at the humour writer Gala in Ontario?

She would be automatically disqualified if she did not attend. She also should not win given her high level of deception.

Appears she didn’t/couldn’t attend. Although her name as a finalist wasn’t withdrawn she was eliminated from the ‘short list’.

Mark Critch, Rick Mercer to attend Leacock Medal gala in Orillia

Two Canadian humorists are on the short list for the 2022 award

Two of Canada’s top entertainers, Mark Critch and Rick Mercer, will be attending the Leacock Medal award gala dinner in Orillia on Saturday, Sept. 17, an event at which the winner of the Leacock Memorial Medal for Humour in 2022 will be announced.

Critch and Mercer, together with Saskatchewan Cree author Dawn Dumont, are the finalists in this famous competition, in which the winner takes home a cash prize of $25,000.
 

“…..Because the Crown is proceeding that way (re-indictment), the lowest sentence Walker could face if convicted is two years and a day. Should the case proceed to trial, the matters will eventually move to the Court of King’s Bench.

The Saskatoon woman is facing charges of abduction and mischief in Saskatoon after faking her death and that of a minor. Walker also is charged in the United States with using false identification documents….”
 
A person with an agenda has to do something like this. I mean people were worried genuinely for Dawn and her son. It was well staged IMO. I imagined how she and her son could have been harmed and frankly speaking taken from the area. To pull this off even for a few weeks as Dawn allegedly did takes a lot of desire to want to go against the natural court administerd agreements that were already in place. Why would one risk being charged. IMO it may be the perception that the individual has that they will not get caught. I wonder how she thought her family and the ex's family would be able to see the child. I guess judging from her actions I assume that the onus would be on others to help her out IMO that kind of raises an air of entitlement and priviledge.

Saskatchewan woman accused of faking her and her son’s death intends to go to trial

''SASKATOON - An Indigenous woman accused of faking her death and that of her son before illegally crossing the border into the United States has indicated her intention to go to trial.

Through counsel, Dawn Walker told Saskatoon provincial court that she intends to have a judge-alone trial.

Her lawyer Tara Boghosian said Walker has also waived her right to a preliminary inquiry.

A judge recently changed a ban allowing for Walker’s name to be published.''

''She was granted bail in September and is to next appear in court Thursday.''
 
From allegations of election fraud running for political office, faking her and sons death, leaving her child alone in a foreign country in an Airbnb, defying court orders by removing her son from Saskatoon 4 times, leaving helpless dog and cat without food and water in their own waste, disguising herself to avoid detection, using her friend’s and friend’s child‘s identities to obtain illegal documents, buying a car in her friend’s name, establish credit and bank accounts in the friend’s name, repeatedly loses in court on abuse charges against her ex, has zero photos of abuse on the child or herself, zero documentation from any medical professorial to prove abuse.
DW has a legal background, is a professional comedian, well educated, ran for political office, published author, and she has abused the very thing she advocated for {MMIWG} and set that back a decade for the real victims. It was like she spit in the face of every true MMIWG victim.
To top things off, …. She has complaints about the conditions of her cell and being watched. Duh! Prisons are not the Hilton. Everyone knows that. Now she has lost the privilege of contact with her son or his father.

This woman is outrageous and I truly worry about young Vincent’s physical safety. She sounds crazy enough to have the “if I can’t have him, no one will” mentality.
Sadly, one day her boy will read all this on the internet and know what his mother has done.
 
What about her complaints of DV against the dad? They fell on deaf ears - SK has the highest rate of DV in Canada since 1997- I said it before, and I will repeat it. She went to extreme lengths - I don't think she would risk it all if it were a last resort. I know this is not a popular opinion

We have a thread on here, JoAnn Celia Hoof (Barajas) who was days old on 4/29/2022 and kidnapped by her father who was on leave from the military. Mom had custody. Mom is a Native American. Dad hid the newborn with somebody and returned to active duty. Neither the police, her tribe no our military have helped her in any way. (The military did make him come back from overseas) I realize this is in two different countries, but this is real indigenous crime. Not a made up one.

JoAnn has been found, and is with her mother.

I think we all worry about the degree of DV. It's completely unacceptable. And in many/most cases the women are at a huge disadavantage when it comes to 'he said/she said'.

And thank you for your opinion. It's important that we don't succomb to group-think. So thank you for speaking up here.

Having said that, I have a more negative take on Ms Walker's behaviour. As someone who had access to the spotlight, and political connections, she could have used the media in her favour before taking such drastic, unacceptable actions, if she was truly the victim here. And I don't believe she was the victim here. I believe the real victims were her son, his father, their extended family and loved ones. Of course I will wait for the trial to see if there are any justifiable mitigating factors.

A side observation....as a nod to her notariety and fame, she easily got access to a famous, powerful lawyer to defend her. And, her colleagues in leadership immediately played the victim card in the media once she was caught, so it wasn't even socially acceptable to 'blame her for her actions', otherwise you "didn't support MMIWG". And I say this as a liberal leaning individual who worries about these victims.
 
Walker wants everyone to know that she alleges her indigenous rights have been violated. Therefore, she wants all charges dropped: identity theft, kidnapping, faking her death, faking death of a child, illegally transporting child, and planting the story that child's father is threatening and abusive.

The information was sealed. This week it was successfully argued to allow third party release of the information. Walker wants her story to be in the news so she can be the poster child for missing, murdered, and barely escaped women.

"The application was provided to CBC News by Walker's legal team. The application was sealed by the courts and not available to the public or the media. However, this week, Judge Bradley Mitchell said the sealing order remains in place, but any media obtaining the application by other means can publish stories about its content.​
​
Walker's case is due back in court later this month."​

Wow. Of course she wants all charges dropped… I hope they aren’t without due process.

Walker is a sly woman who spent months planning her criminal activities. She had everything figured out, including leaving a trail of false allegations against the child's father to ensure that he was viewed as a suspect when she staged her death. She befriended an Indigenous woman for the sole purpose of stealing her identity.

Dawn Dumont Walker is a lawyer and calculating schemer who appears to be exploiting missing/ murdered women who never had the opportunities enjoyed by Walker. Dawn is not a victim, she a Metis woman who manipulated and victimized Indigenous women for personal gain. She fooled a lot of people prior to staging her death, and she aims to continue fooling the Indigenous community by claiming to be a domestic violence survivor.
 
Just speculating on this case: DW is quite obviously an intelligent, capable and successful woman by anyone's standards : law degree, successful author, important job. Whatever had gone on in her marriage, it'd been over for a while, and her ex had remarried and had another child (a pretty strong vote of confidence in him by another woman).

I think it must have been an overwhelming case of paranoia for her to do all that she did.

If she'd had any grip on herself, she'd have realized how impossible it was to kidnap her 7 year old. He was not an infant that could be raised oblivious to his life before. He was just young enough for her to dominate, but he was old enough to miss his father and everything else in his old life. He was also too young to keep secrets, and IMO he would tell any new friends or people he was left alone with.

Why DW actually thought she could keep her son captive and suffocated from any external contact seems truly deranged to me (though I'm not saying she was techically mentally ill).

Many people become seriously irrational because they're obsessed with conspiracy theories, I think that kind of thing may explain DW's state of mind.

Just amateur opinion and speculation.

I don't think they were ever married. Walker wanted to leave Saskatoon to pursue opportunities elsewhere, but she was not allowed to deprive the child of a relationship with his father. She was free to live where ever she wanted, but the child remained in Saskatoon. The child has a strong relationship with his father and with extended family on his father's side.

Walker then alleged that the child's father was abusive. That was another attempt to deprive the child of his rights to know his father. There was no evidence to support the claim - which was investigated. Walker then claimed that her indigenous rights were violated because she has to abide by Canadian custody law. There's a lot more info with links in earlier comments. This was basically a kidnapping to circumvent custody orders.

"An affidavit from Clinton Lindsly, a special agent with Homeland Security, says Walker and her son's biological father had been engaged in a lengthy custody dispute and she was supposed to return the boy on July 25."​

'Elaborate ruse': Prosecutor says Dawn Walker faked deaths

Federal prosecutors in the United States have accused a Saskatoon woman of faking her own death and that of her son in what they describe as an elaborate scheme to illegally enter the country.

I hate, hate, hate how so many women are abused by their spouses and exes! I want these men to get a grip on reality and recognize that life doesn't revolve around them.

But in this case, I believe (JMO, with imperfect knowledge) that Dawn had access to political leaders and lawyers. She was "connected" and had some power. For her to create the scenario that she and her son had died (and all that involved re logistics professionals and trauma for loved ones) is abhorent. It diminishes what other indigeninous women have suffered. It's a kick in their face.
Dawn has access to the best defense in Canada. She has the indigenous leadership behind her. I think they are doing a disservice to real female indigenous victims.
 
From my perspective, at this stage she's doing what anyone does when facing legal charges: allowing her lawyer to create a legal defence (she's unlikely to be a criminal lawyer herself).

So when people say "Dawn is asserting...", or "Dawn is claiming...", I think it's good to remember it's really her defence lawyer who comes up with the legal arguments, which will be used in court to counter the prosecution claims.

One legal defence to child abduction is "Offenders may also plead that they were protecting either the children or themselves from immediate harm, usually from the other parent." So naturally her lawyer, who makes a living trying hard to get people off, has told her, 'let's try using that defence.'

Abduction of children by a parent - FREE Legal Information | Legal Line

An abduction by a parent occurs when one parent takes a child out of the possession of and against the will of the child’s other parent. The act of abducting one’s own children is dealt with by both family and criminal law. If the parent who has custody of the child has a court order or a signed...

IMO, let her have her day in court, let her lawyer do their best to present a legally viable defense, and let a judge decide. I think we all hope that judges can rise above all the varieties of hatred and harm that plague bad relationships.
