> Canadian Empire, Pheton Discord

## Overview

Canadian Empire was an active member of the Pheton Discord and a former member of the Photon SMP. He joined Pheton on December 12, 2020. He maintained neutral-to-hostile relations with the rest of the Pheton member base. He has sporadically joined and left Pheton due to a general dislike of him among Pheton members and past security incidents.

As of today, his whereabouts are unknown.

## Security Incidents

### Beny-Canada Incidents

#### SMP Beny-Canada Incident

During Beny's term as a Photon SMP Moderator for the Photon SMP I, an incident occurred in late December 2020 (or January 2021, dates are disputed) where Canada managed to access a restricted Spawn Region structure known as "Spawn Castle" on the Photon SMP I. Allegedly, Canada frustrated Beny with this action and antagonized him. Beny impulsively placed Canada under a permanent server chat mute without proper justification under the Photonic Codex I, and Canada was eventually unmuted following the intervention by higher officers. The action (if any) taken against Beny for this break in policy by the Photon SMP Administration is unknown.

#### Beny-Canada Doxxing Incident

On March 17th, 2021, Canada found Beny's personal information through an unknown source and antagonized Beny using this personal information (allegedly containing real names). Beny demanded Canada stop immediately, Canada refused, which resulted in Beny allegedly having a mental breakdown. Reports of this reached Pheton members on May 7th, 2021, and outrage began against Canada for these despicable actions. Canada himself did not seem too concerned over his actions.

   Canada equated this violation of privacy as the following:

> its not doxxing. it is finding information
>
> Canada, Pheton Discord

This outrage included prominent members such as Phantom, who called for action to be taken against Canada. Phantom, upon finding out of the incident, confronted Canada, stating, *"WHAT THE FUCK DUDE!"* and *"THAT IS ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE BY ANY STANDARDS OF MORALITY!"* Canada responded with:

> was bored
> morals are potato
>
> Canada, Pheton Discord

This outrage also called upon the Pheton Administration to take action against Canada, with Phantom leading the justification. However, the Pheton Administration had established a precedent that outside of advertisement spam in Pheton members' direct messages, the administration was not liable to take action against anything else. This precedent was established by Photon in order to prevent administrative interference outside of Pheton and to limit the scope of the administration just to Pheton. This precedent prevented the Pheton Administration from taking any immediate action against Canada. At the time this occurred, Alamo had not proposed a "Necessary and Proper" Provision giving rule rules elasticity to Photon High Command.

> Well, Photon High Command already ruled we aren't liable for anything in private messages.
>
> Alamo, Pheton Discord

This provoked further outrage against Canada and the Pheton Administration. A member remarked, *"if someone just dm'ed someone so severe that they commited sucide would u let it go cause it was in the DM's?"* Alamo, acting as the representative of the Pheton Administration, made the following remarks:

> Don't you think the Photon High Command would be forced to rethink the current verdict...?
>
>
> We're questioning if this counts enough to get Photon to overturn it...
>
>
>
> Look, you think I don't disprove of this? However, the Photon High Command would need to be forced into undoing this precedent...
>
> Alamo, Pheton Discord

The outrage of this incident continued to be directed towards Canada and the Pheton Administration, though it slowly began to shift towards forcing the removal of this precedent by Photon. At this time, Canada remarked:

> it was perfectly legal just morally fucked
>
> Canada, Pheton Discord

In response, Phantom cited Canadian law, *"Posting publicly available information may also give rise to civil lawsuits and criminal charges such as harassment, intimidation, invasion of privacy, stalking, and even assault. The intent of the doxer may not matter."*

At this time, Zephius joined the discussion but was immediately advised by other members to avoid becoming a victim of outrage. Zephius and Phantom discussed the reasoning for the outrage. Phantom stated, *"I've just been informed that canada is the one responsible for beny's mental state because he doxxed him. I want him banned."* Zephius responded, *"thats not true- beny has multiple causes for his mental state and its terrible."*

Alamo asked Zephius, *"You honestly think Photon is going overturn his verdict on our ability to prosecute private messages?"* Zephius responded, *"it was dms, wasnt it? we cant ban based on fuckin dms."* This statement only reaffirmed outrage against the Pheton Administration. Alamo further commented:

> Photon High Command ruled that we have no need to reprimanded private messages in a broad sense following the Beny and Canadian case initially. The only exception being mass private message spam.
>
> Alamo, Pheton Discord

As the outrage began to recede, Alamo was asked "will canada get punished?" by a member, and Alamo responded:

> As the verdict is currently concerned for the Beny case, no.
>
> Alamo, Pheton Discord

This incident would eventually serve as one of the driving influences behind the addition of a "Necessary and Proper" Provision to the Pheton Legacy Policy, allowing for the Pheton Administration to take greater action in these types of scenarios.

## Trivia

Canadian Empire was a participant in the Photon SMP Tournament. He killed Terrasteel for his head on the first Photon SMP after beating him in Chess, being the only server member to obtain it.

Canadian is allegedly a furry.

Canadian has changed his online alias to "Canadian Bagel", this occurred around a month after he had left Pheton I.
