Legal Proceeding [Abstract]
Legal Proceedings [Text Block]	18. Legal Proceedings From time to time, the Company may become involved in litigation relating to claims arising from the ordinary course of business. Management believes that there are currently no claims or actions pending against us, the ultimate disposition of which would have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows, except as follows: The Company has a claim against it for unpaid legal fees in the amount of $48,331 (C$65,241). The amount is included in accounts payable on the Company's consolidated balance sheet. On October 4, 2023, an action was launched by one of the October 2021 Investors, who claimed he was owed $1,300,000 plus accrued interest. The principal balance in the accounts and noted under convertible promissory notes, note 11(a) is $1,800,485 (December 31, 2023-$1,645,337), which is after conversions of $318,100 during 2022 and 2023 and includes accrued interest of $500,485 (December 31, 2023-$345,337). The Company has disclosed the fair value of this convertible promissory note as $2,683,862 (December 31, 2023-$2,404,558). The Company intends to repay the balance owed when it is financially able to do so. On November 27, 2023 and March 6, 2024, the Company experienced an outflow of leachate impacted water from its stormwater pond into the City of Belleville's (the "City") roadside ditch. The Company is collaborating with its environmental consultants and its Canadian legal counsel to assess the damage caused, remediate this occurrence and report regularly to the MECP. As noted below, on August 30, 2024, the Company and the City remediated with a settlement in the amount of $96,304 (C$130,000) The Company has a claim against it for unpaid hydro bills in the amount of $370,623 (C$500,302). The amount of this original claim and any amounts subsequently to September 30, 2024 are included in accounts payable and in accrued liabilities on the Company's interim condensed consolidated balance sheets. In addition, on November 17, 2023, the Company received an amended claim filed against it from 2023 by Tradigital in the sum of $219,834 in owed fees plus the difference in stock price, 300,000 common shares of the Company, plus attorney fees and expenses. The case went to arbitration on March 11, 2024 and the Company defended its position. On April 4, 2024, the International Centre for Dispute Resolution indicated that no additional evidence is to be submitted and the hearings were declared closed as of April 29, 2024. The tribunal endeavored to render the final decision within the timeframe provided for in the rules. Management agrees that outstanding fees, which are included in accounts payable in the interim condensed consolidated balance sheets, are only in the amount of $30,000, which was agreed to by the parties in earlier communications and through various e-mail correspondence. In addition, management has no issue with the outstanding common shares to be provided to the claimant totaling 300,000. Management believes that the additional claim amount of $189,834 is without merit. Of the total of 300,000 common shares, 50,000 have been issued and the remaining 250,000 were previously disclosed as shares to be issued in the consolidated statements of stockholders' deficiency. On April 26, 2024, the arbitrator for this claim awarded Tradigital the sum of $118,170 which had been accrued by the Company as at December 31, 2023 and subsequently through September 30, 2024 and the remaining 250,000 common shares were not required to be issued by the Company. On April 1, 2024, the Company received notice of a complaint filed against it by one of the March 2022 Investors, seeking damages of no less than $4,545,393. The Company had thirty calendar days to respond and on April 30, 2024, the Company was able to extend the time to respond with opposing counsel, a further fifteen days. The Company has been unable to retain counsel to represent it in this matter. The full amount of the complaint was included in the accounts at December 31, 2023, March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2024. On May 21, 2024, the counsel for the plaintiff requested an entry for a default judgement against the Company. On September 11, 2024, the default judgement was filed in the amount of $2,848,744. In addition, pre-judgement interest was granted in the amount of $87,414 at the rate of 10% per annum on the principal balance from May 22, 2024 through September 11, 2024. On the filing of this default judgement, the March 2022 Investor removed two causes of action previously filed in their complaint which the Company received notice of on April 1, 2024 and accrued for accordingly. The impact of the removal of the two causes of action totaling $2,250,000, plus the additional pre-judgement and other interest charged resulted in a reduction in the previous accrual for loss in the amount of $1,321,733. This adjustment to provision for loss is disclosed under other income (expense), note 16(d). On May 16, 2024, the Company was informed by its Canadian legal counsel that the City issued an order against the Belleville Facility, its numbered company, 1684567 and its officers for the repayment of the cost of pumping out contaminated water from the City's roadside ditch, along with legal and other associated costs. On May 31, 2024, the companies and the officers filed notices of appeal to the Ontario Land Tribunal. The Company and its Canadian legal counsel were in discussions with the legal representatives from the City, to come to a resolution before any action by the Ontario Land Tribunal. On August 30, 2024, minutes of settlement were finalized between the City and the Company to settle for an amount of $96,304 (C$130,000) ten days following the sale of the Hamilton Facility. There are certain events of default, including not meeting the timeline set above and if the sale of the Hamilton Facility does not occur before January 31, 2025, it would result in the actual cost incurred by the City to be paid by the Company. The actual costs noted in the minutes of settlement totaled $142,597 (C$192,490). In addition, in connection with the minutes of settlement, the Company and its officers subsequently withdrew their appeals with the Ontario Land Tribunal on September 4, 2024, and the Ontario Land Tribunal closed their case. On June 10, 2024, the Company received a statement of claim from the general contractor, Gillam Construction Group Ltd. ("Gillam"), for the construction of the Hamilton Facility. Gillam also named the Company's two officers as defendants. The Company and its Canadian legal counsel were able to resolve the matter with the Plaintiff with a final settlement of $2,148,320 (C$2,900,000) if paid on or before November 30, 2024. The settlement reached was over and above the original amount included in the accounts of the Company. The Company has provided for this excess in the amount of $227,545 (C$309,122) as a loss on settlement. See also other income (expense), note 16(a). On September 5, 2024, one of the Company's subsidiaries was served with a construction lien on the property at the Belleville Facility in the amount of $168,831 (C$227,904) representing outstanding accounts payable for environmental services provided by the contractor.
