I refuse to lend any credibility at all to some anonymous controversial reddit post made from a throwaway. There are way too many of that nowadays and I'd bet a toonie a large proportion of those are either faked to drive engagement or for shits and giggles.

Besides, this is the internet... Didn't anybody get the lesson with the bonsai kittens?!

Throwaways are the standard for the legal advice subreddits, and some are clearly fiction. This one sounds legit

Yeah sorry about that, a toonie is 2 Canadian dollars.
