In today’s report, I capture the emotional moment that long-time child-protection advocate and former Chilliwack school trustee Barry Neufeld was handcuffed and taken into custody earlier this week.
The 77-year-old pensioner surrendered himself to the Chilliwack Law Courts after a warrant was issued for failing to comply with a defamation order that demanded he pay his former colleague and controversial trustee, Carin Bondar, $45,000 in damages plus over $8,000 more in additional costs.

Bondar sued Neufeld after he referred to her, without naming her, as a “strip-tease artist” in 2022 during a recorded Zoom meeting with Action 4 Canada. The reference Neufeld made about Bondar, who he is ideologically at odds with over her support for gender ideology schooling for kids, was related to the sexually explicit content she has publicly posted online while serving in a position overseeing children.
Despite the explicit material being real and widely accessible, including to students in the district she serves, Liberal-appointed Justice K. Michael Stephens ruled Neufeld’s comment was defamation.
