Here Come the Heroes

Here Come the Heroes is a nonfiction, first-hand account of a series of events that began in the city of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, August 2012. It is the unbelievable yet true story of how two brothers stood up against members of the Saskatoon Police Service (SPS) and, by doing so, exposed the corrupt system determined on silencing them. Drawing on a collection of anti-establishment thinkers, introspection and his search for truth, Mr. Stewart provides the backdrop for his experiment in which he challenges the System's increasingly authoritarian interference into our everyday lives. This experiment became the impetus in what arose from an alleged routine traffic stop on a normal August evening. James and his brother are violently arrested, charged with crimes they did not commit and taken to police station HQ where they are detained without medical attention or legal representation. What follows is a grueling, near year-long period of frustration, delayed proceedings and denied access to obtain crucial evidence from the very group of people sworn to serve and protect. Providing detailed transcripts of the court proceedings, while intersplicing his own recollections and commentaries, the book recounts how James and his brother represented themselves in Saskatoon Provincial court, in 2013, against fraudulent charges, crooked cops and corrupt lawyers. The author naturally blends his insights and unique experiences, along with personal photos and explosive documents into a gripping tale of cover-ups and conspiracies. This book is a must-have for anyone interested in standing up for human rights, transparency in government and accountability within the Canadian legal system.
