RE: Canada's Fake Witch Law

in #funny5 years ago

I personally think that part C makes sense as it inhibits psychics from claiming that they can find lost or stolen objects, which would also include loved ones who went missing.

Yes, but don't these people do it for money? That's the line for me, personally.

I dont think that part A necessarily includes that. I'm sure it would be argued against.

How so?

A woman claiming to be a psychic was charged with this offense in Dec of 2018 basically right before the law was abolished. She was demanding money to lift a curse from someone. I dont really know why anyone would believe that they had a curse on them or that a women could lift it for a fee, but people fall for things all the time, especially when they are desperate.

What happens is this: Someone comes in for a fun one time reading. The scammy psychic then starts hooking the client into additional readings, followed by the construction of a paranormal thriller tale that culminates in the sacrificing of a lot of money in the ritual to remove the curse that the client is convinced has been put on them.

It's a kinda thing where the scammer grooms their victim over time.
