Dan Hartman Appeal Update!!
Dan Hartman just had a critical appeal on Monday at the Ontario Court of Appeal regarding his lawsuit against Health Canada.
Many of you attended online, and many more have been wanting an update on what happened.
Dan's lawyer made some excellent arguments as to why Health Canada should not be let off the hook, and why Dan should have his day in court. Dan is very optimistic about the hearing, and we will be waiting to hear the outcome when the court decides in the next few months.
As you know, Dan Hartman is a fearless father who has a chilling and heartbreaking story. Dan Hartman strongly believes his son Sean was killed by the COVID shot, and he is suing Pfizer and the Government of Canada (Health Canada) for justice.
The appeal relates to a decision earlier this year, where Dan says Health Canada was let off the hook, and dropped from the lawsuit. The government had moved to have their part of the case struck (shut down), and the court agreed with them to dismiss the case. Dan says the court ruled the government did not have an individual duty of care towards his son, Sean.
Dan appealed this ruling and it was heard at the Ontario Court of Appeal in front of 3 judges. If he wins, he will be able to proceed with his lawsuit against Health Canada!
Regardless of how the appeal turns out, the good news is that his case against Pfizer is still on!
Dan thinks the appeal went very well, and he noted the Health Canada didn't bring anything new to the table, other than rehashing their prior arguments. Even still, Dan was shocked to see Health Canada ask for $47,000 in court costs if they win this appeal. I don't understand why they believe this amount is justified. As Dan told me in our interview, they've already taken everything from me, how could they ask for this?
The court costs would only apply if Dan loses, and the court may in fact approve a lesser amount, but this cost request by Health Canada is significant and troubling.
Dan needs help to continue fighting this critical case against vested government interests. Dan says this is the first and only COVID lawsuit against Pfizer for wrongful death in North America. Please help Dan raise money for his appeal, and to keep this critical case going!
He has raised raised over $200,000 for these lawsuits, but will need to raise about $500,000 to complete them, as he is prepared to go to the Supreme Court of Canada. If he gets charged $47,000 in costs to pay Health Canada, that will really eat into the funds raised so far.

I'm happy Dan is appealing the decision to let the government off the hook. Health Canada absolutely can and should have a responsibility to answer for any mistakes that have hurt Canadians.
I just completed a brand new interview with Dan, which will be posted here tomorrow.
He shared the details of the appeal, and also gave me the exciting news that a documentary called "The Shot: Sean Hartman's Story" will be released soon, with screening dates being added across the country. Below, I list the first two dates, but more will be added soon.
I was very excited to hear about the new documentary focusing on Sean's story!
The movie is described as a father’s search for answers, looking at Dan Hartman’s journey after the sudden loss of Sean. It moves from the hockey rink to hospital records, expert analysis, and the hard questions of accountability. Witness the stakes, the evidence, and the resolve that drives this investigation.
The documentary features many voices, including Dr. Peter McCullough, Dr. Roger Hodkinson, Dr. Chris Shoemaker, and many more popular freedom fighters.
The first two screenings are listed below, but check out the website in the photo below for more dates as they appear.

If you don't know the story behind Sean's death, Dan relates that at 17 years old, his son Sean took his first COVID shot on Aug 25, 2021 so he would be allowed to play the sport he loved - hockey - which required a shot for kids to play at that time.
Four days later he was rushed to the hospital with brown circles around his eyes, vomiting, a rash and a severely sore shoulder. The doctor didn't do any bloodwork. He was sent home with pain relievers and 33 days after his first shot, he was found dead on the floor beside his bed on the morning of September 27, 2021.
Dan knew something was wrong, his son had been perfectly healthy with no underlying conditions. His son had never smoked nor drank. He had to wait three months for an autopsy which came back "cause of death unascertained". It's very unusual for any autopsy to be "cause of death unascertained" and it is doubly so for a healthy teenager to die from unknown causes. It is exceptionally rare, Dan tells me.
Dan relates that he sent some tissue samples from Sean to a top doctor in the USA by the name of Dr. Ryan Cole. Dan says they found "a large amount of spike protein" in Sean's adrenal glands. They believe his blood pressure may have collapsed.
Dan says he was running out of time to actually launch a case, when he found his current lawyer. Now Dan says he has the first lawsuit in North America against Pfizer for wrongful death. Dan needs to raise $500,000 to fight these cases. Right now he's raised about $211,000. If Dan can beat them, it will open the doors for others to win. Dan relates with tears in his eyes the pain he has gone through: "He was my only son, he was such a good boy, such an angel, the purest soul you would ever meet, he was a beautiful child, it's all I can do now is keep fighting for him."
It's clear the government wanted to get rid of this case, and they want Dan to go away.
As Dan says in our recent interview: "We're hoping to win this for Sean. Hearing the judge say guilty will allow me to start to heal. I've been crying everday for more than four years now. Everyday is a battle just to get out of bed. This isn't about money, I just want justice for my boy, but unfortunately it costs a lot of money to do lawsuits, I mean lots, I'm hoping people can get behind me and Sean, and let's fight them...and hope to God we get a fair outcome of justice and finding of guilt."
Help Dan fight for answers and justice, to ensure the truth is revealed for all to see.

I can't imagine the pain Dan has been going through these past few years. But I do know that finding justice for his son will bring him some closure, and open the floodgates for other similar actions around the world.
Keep this recent appeal in your thoughts and prayers.
As we've seen from the death of Charlie Kirk, your legacy lives on after you die, and though a terrible tragedy, a person's death can have a huge impact on the world. Dan is hoping that in his pursuit of Justice 4 Sean, and Answers 4 Sean, Sean's needless death will have a huge impact on the world, and will aid others seeking justice as well.
Dan believes he will be with his son Sean again in heaven. I also believe this. But for now, Dan believes Sean's sacrifice requires fighting for justice. If this case goes to court, there could be lots of information revealed. That could be a big game-changer.
Dan is 100% committed to this case. He's put his life on the line to fight for justice for his son. Please stand with Dan to raise the resources needed to finish this case.
Thank you for your support!
God bless!
