The Deets
Okay, so listen up. This ex-soldier named Wallace Fowler was big mad about the racism he faced in the Canadian Armed Forces. He was part of this huge class-action lawsuit trying to get $150 million from the government. That's a lot of bread!
But here's the tea: they already settled that class-action thing, offering up to $35,000 to peeps who experienced the same BS. Fowler was like, "Nah, that ain't enough," and dipped to do his own thing, saying the racism messed with his mental health.
He took his shot in court, but it totally flopped. The judge basically said he was already getting paid for his mental health struggles through his disability pension. They were like, "Bruh, you already got that bag! Double-dipping ain't gonna fly." Fowler served back in the day and ended up getting out because of major depression and PTSD. He got that pension for it, and the court's standing ten toes down that that's enough. So Fowler's individual claim got clapped back.
