Bill Whatcott Wins 2025 George Orwell Free Speech Award       

Bill Whatcott Wins 2025 George Orwell Free Speech Award


          TORONTO, June 26, 2025. Christian activist Bill Whatcott was presented with the 2025 George Orwell Free Speech Award by Paul Fromm on behalf of the Canadian Association for Free Expression/ Mr. Whatcott has been jailed over 30 times in the past for picketing abortuaries and attempting to counsel troubled women by violating bubble zones (anti-free speech zones). In recent decades he has exercised his Christian witness to criticize the LGBTQ agenda. He has been persecuted by human rights commissions in Saskatchewan and British Columbia.
          For infiltrating the 2016 Toronto Gay Pride parade with a zany disguise to hand out informative tracts outlining the severe physical dangers of homosexual practice as well as the Biblical injunctions against such. For this, he was the subject of a $105-million class action suit, which was eventually dismissed. In the dying days of lesdian Kathleen Wynn’s government, he was charged under Canada’s notorious “hate” law (Sec. 319 of the Criminal Code.). He was acquitted in 2023. Nevertheless, a vengeful government under “conservative” Doug Ford appealed and the Christian activist faces another “hate” trial in the Spring of 2026.


Along the way, Mr. Whatcott has lost numerous jobs because of his decision to publicly speak his mind, always with good humour and compassion for the LGBTQ and people seeking abortion. It is this persistence and good spirit that galls the enemies of free speech and drives their urge to ruin him, He was stripped of his nursing licence by the Saskatchewan  body governing nursing.

His citation read:

Messages of support were received from several other communicators. Texas Videographers Jim Rizoli and Diane King wrote: “Jim and I met Bill Whatcott a number of years ago when we started coming to Toronto for meetings. We attended a function of his as well. We have been following his remarkably dedicated activism against the putrid, perverted, destructive LGBTQXYZ agenda (as we call it) or biblically, sodomy. We appreciate Bill’s determination in his activities and also keeping us up to date on his progress. Well done, Bill, and congrats on the George Orwell Free Speech Award.” – Diane King

Vancouver videographer Diane Collins wrote::

Dear Bill,

I congratulate you on receiving the George Orwell Award. It is your efforts of speaking the truth and educating the public about what is morally right, that helps to bring to light the words of reason to those who have been blinded by deceptive narratives and false identities.

Your ongoing persecution by those who oppose truth, goodness and beauty, reveals how much they fear a man of God. As Christ said “Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me” (Matt. 5:11). This shows the power of our Lord, and his people, over the enemy.

May God watch over you as you continue in Christ’s Service, —Diane Collins
