# JudgeWatch source note — Mylène Hébert / Alain Carrier Quebec defamation-contempt source trail

Prepared: 2026-07-27

This source trail came from a PBC TikTok lead. It identifies judges reported in a Quebec Superior Court defamation/injunction/contempt sequence involving Mylène Hébert, former Drummondville mayor Alain Carrier and Performance N.C. Inc.

## Judge names found

- Honourable Bernard Synnott — reported January 2026 defamation/injunction judgment (Vingt55/Blogue du CRL search result; Superior Court list confirms active judge and Aug. 29, 2018 appointment).
- Honourable Antoine Aylwin — reported July 2026 contempt sentence: eight months imprisonment and $10,000 fine; Superior Court list confirms active judge and June 20, 2024 appointment.
- Honourable Thomas M. Davis — reported later hearing/default-to-appear coverage; Superior Court list confirms active judge and Sept. 29, 2011 appointment.

## Important caveat

This is a public source trail, not a misconduct finding. The reporting says the imprisonment arose from contempt of court for repeated non-compliance with injunction/judgment orders after social-media posts were held defamatory. Do not frame this as judges jailing ordinary political opinion without that legal context.
