A Toronto lawyer and activist who was arrested and escorted outside of a Hamilton PC Party rally says she believes it was reprisal for her criticism of the government.
“The gist of what he was saying was that they know who I am, they know what I do … and that I’m not there for the right reasons. And I’m therefore not invited to the event,” Sa’d said. At that event, she left when she was asked to, she says, but this time around she insisted on knowing who had “flagged” her.“They basically just drove me off the property to write the ticket. So I was maybe sitting in the car for, I want to say 15 to 20 minutes,” Sa’d said.
Still, she said she’s “appalled” she was removed from an event for what she believes was her expression as a private citizen who has criticized the government. They say at 5:30 p.m. or so, Ford attended the airport on a campaign stop and a protest formed outside the event. Police say the protest moved onto private property and blocked the road to the event.
While she acknowledges the event was on private property, she said it was advertised as a public event.
Fascism.
Toronto clout chaser FTFY
Sick shirt!
Wow, police more concerned about ‘protecting’ Doug Ford’s conservatives from a small woman, while they do absolutely nothing about a convoy of big white guys taking over the capital, or another threatening our PM with a noose. What is happening to Canadian ‘law and order’?
I suspect a reasonable inference can be established at the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario that in whole or part this was racially motivated. So many respondents to name. See Shaw v. Phipps, 2012 ONCA 155 & Peel Law Association v. Pieters, 2013 ONCA 396
Be wary of being invited to anything organized by Doug ford. You might end up arrested.
She is a lawyer and a reporter, She had an invite. She was going to observe and take notes. GET IT RIGHT.
Activist? No.
Too bad close to a million people have watched the truth in the video. Nice try. Subscription cancelled.
Toronto activist with an RSVP to the event you mean. Funny how quickly he mobilized police for this yet did nothing with insurrectionist bigots and white upremacists in Ottawa. Doug knows traitors and bigots butter his bread fordnation
I can't believe that racist cop is in her face with no mask on! Just maybe if the HamiltonPolice officer pulled those tight pumpum shorts out of his ass 🤔 he can actually do his job. Funny thing is he didn't arrest one convoy protester. RACISM! Right! CarymaRules Toronto
Ontario,the cops will beat you up for protesting.Fords thugs will shove you to the ground.The cops don’t arrest you if you blast your truck horns for hrs on end,block traffic for weeks on end.The Star will spin the narrative with false information to create the wrong impression.
Quite different action towards this person than the Right Wing scum that threaten our PMs life..wonder why
But she had an invite... And your headline is bias af
If she were white and drove a transport truck to the rally, would the police have laid off? All she wanted to do was ask an unscripted question.
She was INVITED.
🤡
If the TorontoStar is not disgusted by this, we the people, are disgusted by the Toronto Star. OntarioVotes
So Nazi flags and nooses at Trudeau rallies are totally fine with the crooked police? CdnMediaFailed CdnMediaFails fakenews
I don't know who needs to hear this but you don't need to wait for death camps to apply the AUTHORITARIAN STATE label to Canada 👎
This is a crime against democracy! The PC party is attempting subvert the democratic process. Vote like your democracy is at stake! Because it is! VoteFordOut2022 VoteFordOutJune2 freecaryma
She had a legitimate invitation! This is a true look at the Toronto Star’s conservative ownership! 😡Muzzle voices! Muzzle democracy! Don’t buy the Star, people, it’s really no different from the Post or the Sun! 😡
?!? Activist ?!? I would argue that she was an invited attendee who had an invitation from fordnation himself.
Wow.. just wow. This is not journalism. Not even close.
She's not an activist. She's a lawyer and documentarian. HamiltonPolice ThugFord
She’s not an activist. She was not protesting.
Trying hard to become the NYP of journalism. 🤦♀️
I can't read the article because of the pay wall but that blurb under the headline already has lies in it. They singled her out, she was not standing with the other protestors. She had interactions with the rally security before the polic3 arrived and they said they knew her.
She is a lawyer and a reporter!!! If she had been threatening the PM and of course if she was white she would have been invited in!!! 50KIsNotOk
Glogovac ruined you all.
“Emperor Ford has his thugs arrest an invited guest when he realised she would take notes. We tried to help protect our Emperor by spinning the story.” Fixed it for you. FordFailedOntario

How come this isn't in the actual paper. Only posting it on line and not in print is a MediaFail
Poor old Red Star. You’ve misspelled activist again. It’s spelled: a-g-i-t-a-t-o-r
Hopefully, this unemployed lawyer can now work on getting her own butt, out of trouble. playstupidgames ...
You can't trust the star journalism anymore
That's a shirt from the past!
Are you sure your facts are correct? You're turning into the Toronto Sun.
do the cops vote PC?
How exactly was CarymaRules “blocking access” to an airport hangar? It’s literally big enough to fly a plane into! This is laughable onpoli
politicolucy That’s your headline. Let’s try Ford has lawyer arrested at his event
activist, shut up.
ILlEgAl BlOcKaDeS 🤡 Wellcome to the s🍁it hole you wanted for back in February.
Activist? How about independent journalist, who had an invite. 🤦♂️😡
Another reason to cancel the star subscription.
Toronto Activist?…Don’t you mean Toronto Reporter? CarymaRules
The has taken a hard right turn. It’s sad to watch. GoodbyeTorstar
For protesting…
Trespassing 👇
Activist? Get your facts straight Toronto Star
What is she an activist of/for?
Come on get your damn facts straight! Seriously.
Get your facts straight. There are enough videos on Caryma's Twitter page to fill in the blanks for you. She was not blocking anything. She had an invite to the event. Stop trying to spin this like she did something wrong because she did not.
Good grief. is now just as biased and as the Toronto Sun. Way to lower the bar yet again. notjournalism

Doug Ford is using cops to silence, nurses, reporters & protestors. It’s time Doug Ford & the cops be held accountable for police brutality & excessive force. Doug Ford is treating Ontario like a DICTATORSHIP!! onpoli OntarioVotes ONelxn Hamilton Ottawa VoteFordOut2022
I’m confused. Was another Emergency Act passed? Police actually arrested a protestor on their own?! What’s different this time? Hmm
HamiltonPolice your statement that Ms Sa’d was blocking access to the event is patently false from watching the videos. Like all the events she attends, she does not protest but simply documents the event. You are very much in the wrong for arresting CarymaRules .
'Activist' Wtf She's more of a reporter than anyone at the star.
Who told the HamiltonPolice to target and arrest her?
'Activist'? You sure?
fordnation....more like Thugnation
How about replacing the word activist… because that’s inaccurate AF… Can we try incompetent Premier scared to answer unscripted questions
CarymaRules wasn't blocking access to anything. She wanted to enter the venue.
Even if you get an invite to the party it doesn’t give you permission to play the part of the clown. You have no entitlement to be allowed to stay if you do.
Funny how all of a sudden people are up in arms when a leftist gets the royal treatment similar to the truckers a few months back?
Sounds like Mobeen is just an attention whore.
She wasn't that or a protester.. nice spin star . Showing yourself up as support of facist and racists that the PC are
She had an invitation. flyyhm decided to side with Drugie Ford. Just like you, your editor and owners.
Doug is scared. Doug is about to go to jail. Soooo much dirt on Doug fordnation.
Can she get released if she says sorry like our prime Trudope?
'Activist'? I believe the word you're looking for is: 'grifter'.
Doug Ford has to go. She has put real anti-racist, anti-fascist activists and minorities in danger with her stunts. Including having BIPOC people who criticize her for it, doxxed.
How odd, for weeks Ottawa had to suffer and yet for Ford they arrest a lone woman. That should tell you all you need to know
More racist policies! Shame!
Please explain HamiltonPolice The people who pay your salaries are not allowed to attend political events now?
She was documenting the rally, not blocking access to the event. She had a written invite and RSVP to the event.
BAD REPORTING SHE HAD A INVITE
Someone who reports events on social media is hardly an activist. Not much digging into the story eh.
She is a lawyer who had an RSVP'ed invite to attend this PC event. Get it straight. NeverVoteConservative VoteFordOut2022
So Doug had ConsumerSOS reassigned after he asked him tough questions….While CarymaRules was arrested at their Hamilton event even though she had an invitation… While Fordsy’s goons beat up nurses? For the People?
I would defend her but she part of the far-left and she’s a provocateur. After what happened during the lockdowns, I have no desire to defend the left. Let them bask in the tyranny that they created.
Political arrests are what totalitarian states do.
As usual, she was told she wasn't welcomed at an event, showed up anyway to promote herself, & everyone just laps it up. Go figure. For those who need to hear this: ACAB doesn't just apply when your fav Twitter influencer gets arrested, fined $65, and released without incident.
She isn't an activist she is a lawyer and citizen reporter.
CarymaRules
Activists don't put bounties on, dox, stalk and still harass harass actual activists who protested her invitation of a white nationalist into Chinatown last year. Fix your headline
you mean 'invited guest to public event held on public property wrongly arrested'
Looks like a left-wing terrorist to me.
Arreted and abused by HamiltonPolice. A lawyer with an invite to the event given a trespassing ticket. It is an example of atrocity. ThugFord is running ontario like a mafia boss. VoteFordOut2022 and be done with his drug lord mentality. onpoli
The police over-react and the coverup begins.
“For the people”
