- Public OpenGraph description: `BREAKING: When Questions Are Met With Silence, the Public Deserves Answers ... A message I received raises a serious issue that deserves scrutiny — not speculation, not rumours, but answers backed by...`
- Capture limitation: Facebook exposed a poster image and truncated caption, but `yt-dlp` reported the media/post as registered-users-only. The article does not claim a complete caption was recovered.

## Poster claim summary

The poster says an unnamed person told Metcalfe that at least one government-funded employer allegedly sent a mass email telling staff not to speak to her if she approached them. It connects that alleged instruction to a time when she “went to court” and says she “got assaulted.”

## Evidence labels

- Verified: the post/graphic exists publicly enough to preserve metadata and the poster image.
- Verified background: CBC and VOCM report Metcalfe/Sweeney charges from the 2023 Furey-home protest were dismissed in exchange for a peace bond and apologies. VOCM reports a separate 2025 defamation lawsuit and defence filing.
- Not verified: the alleged employer email, the identity of any employer, coordination, intimidation, corruption, and the assault claim.
- Judge extraction: court/legal component exists, but no presiding judge name was recovered from accessible sources in this pass.
