Here is a post for my worker Krista Shaw, her supervisor Sharon Cheung and their lawyer Kris Janovcik. As they fail to understand what the one party consent law is and they seem to think that I cannot record them. This is my right. This is my only chance to prove that they often lie and misreport. In a word of my word against theirs I will lose. In this post we will go over many links to prove they have not only shit on my rights and continue to do so but also are pretty incompetent in failing to understand the law. I will be quoting they articles more directly as this is not a rundown of my understandings.

Here is a post talking about recording social workers that work for CFS/CPS. It is good information as it gives lots information and examples. The article is quoted as, "Here in Canada, it is legal to record your own conversations. Anyone who happens to be part of those conversations is also recorded, but you do not have to notify them. If you leave the room with your recording running and you are not present, this is like wiretapping, for which warrants must be obtained.
In a lot of cases, people who know they are being recorded behave differently than if they were not told in advance they were being recorded. Imagine, if you were in a job interview and you placed your recorder on the table, and started spouting the law that you were allowed to record your own conversation. You would be labelled paranoid and you would not get that job.
In the case of social workers, they think to themselves, "darn, this parent is recording us, now we can't make up stuff." Instead, what they do is cite their own internal policies that say they are not allowed to be part of meetings that are recorded, and they leave if you don't turn off the recorder. After that, they plot how to get even. By getting even, I mean that social workers will remove your kids from your care."
And
"When recording social workers who investigating before they have removed your children, you can first ask PERMISSION to record, and display the recorder on the table. Usually you will not get this permission, so in this case, you are displaying good faith and showing that the recorder is off. Have a second recorder running in the meantime, it can be in a shirt pocket, or hanging from a string around your neck under your shirt, a pen recorder, or an iPhone can be set to record but the screen left blank, a computer that you are taking notes on can also have the recorder turned on.
Social workers often arrive in pairs. One person writes, while the other person does the talking. A typical parent can't write and talk at the same time, so without a recorder, they are at a disadvantage. Witnesses sound like a good idea, but you need to realize these people are not allowed to testify at a presentation hearing. A written transcript, however, IS highly useful, and can be read by a judge before any hearing begins.
Social workers only write down parts of the conversation that benefits their case. A transcript from a recording will obviously take precedence in a court setting. What you have to be careful is to not give social workers hints that you are recording, or that when you said you were not recording, you were in fact doing so. This is because, social workers can later re-write their notes to match any recording they receive so they don't get caught with fraud. That is, falsifying government records that you can prove with your recording of their own voice, and have them criminally charged."
And
"Another aspect of recording is that such records document what is NOT being said. So, if a social workers write in their records that "services" were offered, but you refused those services, they use this falsified 'fact' that you refused services. and they remove your children based on 'no lesser alternatives were available."
As well as
"When do you release your recordings and transcripts? Immediately, before your children are removed? Immediately after the 5-minute Report to Court hearing but before the Presentation Hearing? Do you release the transcripts in an affidavit before the Presentation Hearing?
This is a tough call, because if you release your recordings and transcripts at the 'wrong' time, child protection authorities will craft a counter response. If the recordings are absolutely compelling, so much so that a judge reading transcripts cannot ignore the information and it can be the basis on returning the children, then do include audio transcripts as an attachment to a sworn affidavit and have this ready at a Presentation Hearing.
The more time you give lawyers for child protection authorities to figure out how to respond, the more effective they will be at disabling your evidence. What you want to do is to use exactly the same tactic as child protection lawyers used against parents, only supply evidence at the last minute to reduce the time to respond in a comprehensive manner.
If you sue later, what you want to do is have an accumulation of hundreds of hours of audio. If you are forced to release these recordings as part of your own disclosure, what this will do is obligate them to go through all this material so they can try and figure out exactly what part you intend to use against them. It is not your job to label and provide printed transcripts, or even to supply recognizable filenames, or even to have datestamps on said files. You can even put the audio onto old fashioned tape, rather than CD or other digital format, so there is no chance of speeding up copying and transcriptions"
But also
"Record supervised visits. Compare the written reports with your recordings.
Encourage telephone calls and record those. Ask surprise questions and you might get lucky.
If you are in meetings, teleconference in someone else, that person can record the call as well as serve as a witness.
Record court hearings, and especially any conversations with lawyers, social workers, judicial case managers and such. Remember that you can listen to tapes of your hearings if you cannot afford to have transcriptions made. Set appointment with tape management in the courthouse to make your own transcriptions (or record the audio).
Encourage meetings with social workers. If you are lucky enough to get them into your home, setup a webcam by your TV and hold the meeting in the living room. If you sit in a kitchen, point any laptops equipped with a webcam at the social workers. This is good if you need to publish youtube videos later."
So here is much information and the how's and why's on recording CFS/CPS workers and why you should not make the mistake (like I did) of telling them you are recording them. These people tear apart families for a living you cannot play their games. Use your rights to defend yourself.

Here is a link that describes the law. Kris this is for you I will call you and your boss to go over your incompetence. The article is quoted as
"Section 184 of the Criminal Code prohibits wilful interception of private communications, but provides an exception if one of the participants consents to that interception. Basically, that means if you consent to record your own conversation, it’s perfectly legal. If you can’t get your own consent, you may be breaking the law."

Here are tips for recording social workers and police officers. I will educate you all Krysta, Sharon and Kris. This article describes the what to do's when you are recording your CFS workers. The article is quoted as,
"When recording it is always best to Secretly Record. It is best to use 2 recorders, this way if one fails you have the recording from the backup recorder. If by chance your recorder is spotted and your asked to turn it off by CAS or Police do this in front of them, once they they think your guard is down then they are more apt to speak in an open manner, and the 2nd recorder will be getting it all. Again if possible make ALL recordings secretively. Never openly record as you will not get the worker acting in bad faith if they know they are being recorded."

Here is a link that says you can record people at work and gives more insight into the one party consent law. And I can record as long as I do not intercept or record conversations I am not a part of. So you Krysta Shaw could record your boss without their knowledge. Just like how I can record all of you.
"As employment lawyers, we are often asked whether it is legal to record a conversation at work, specifically the ones related to concerns over workplace performance or where there is a dispute in the workplace and the employee wants to have an exact record of what was actually said. The second question we are then asked is whether you can make the recording without the other person knowing. The simple answer to the question of making a recording of a workplace conversation is "Yes", but only if the following apply:
you are a participant in the conversation and consent to the conversation being recorded;
you are an employee, not acting as a member of management; and
you were intended to receive the communication.
Pausing for a moment to understand that the basic law in Canada, it is important to know that it is illegal in Canada to wilfully intercept a private communication (section 183 of the Criminal Code of Canada). "Intercept" means: listen to; record; acquire or acquire the substance, meaning or purport of the communication. In plain words, you are not permitted to surreptitiously listen to someone else's conversation, let alone record it. In fact, it is illegal in Canada to possess surreptitious recording devices.
The reason you can record your own conversations is the "one party consent" exception, meaning, where one of the parties to a conversation consents to being recorded, then they can record the conversation. In multi-party workplace conversations it only takes one party to consent to being recorded to fit within the exception."

Here is a link about recording police officers and it still applies to CFS workers. These CFS workers walk all over people's rights for a living.
The article is quoted as " There is no law in Canada that prevents a member of the public from taking photographs or video in a public place (other than some limitations related to sensitive defense installations);
There is no law in Canada that prevents a member of the public from taking photographs or video of a police officer executing his or her duties in public or in a location lawfully controlled by the photographer (in fact, police officers have no privacy rights in public when executing their duties);
Preventing a person from taking photos or video is a prima facie infringement of a person's Charter rights"
So not only can you record your CFS workers but you should as they often lie and shit on your human right and will lie about it afterwards.
I will be sueing Child and Family Services for everthing they have done.
