vancouver need: In an interview with National Observer, Stewart explained why he violated the injunction. ; Mainly for me it was standing up for my constituents, he said, according to National Observer.

Stewart knows that other arrestees are handling their cases differently, with some opting to go to trial. Special Prosecutor, Michael Klein, took note of Stewart's early plea and recommended the court apply the standard 500 penalty, explaining that it has been a very early resolution to the matter, and Mr. I wanted to show respect for the court, and I thought this was the best way to do that.
