Lucky She’s Not White — Calgary Black Lives Matter President Won’t Be Charged With Hate Motivated Mischief for Blocking Access to Catholic School

Lucky She’s Not White — Calgary Black Lives Matter President Won’t Be Charged With Hate Motivated Mischief for Blocking Access to Catholic School

Canada’s notorious “hate law”, Sec. 319 of the Criminal Code, was introduced by Pierre Elliott Trudeau in 1971, after more than 30 years of pressure from the lobbyist group, the Canadian Jewish Congress. In the 1990s, Bill C-36 made “hate” against certain privileged groups an aggravating factor in sentencing. These laws were always meant to be used against White people and Christians. They were imposed to suppress or dampen White dissent against the Globalist totalitarian changes being imposed on our society. They have almost NEVER been used against non-Whites.

Thus, when earlier this week, it was announced that Adora Nwofor President of Calgary Black Lives Matter was being charged with mischief for blocking access to St. Thomas Aquinas School and that her actions were motivated “by hate based on race or ethnic origin” I was amazed.

Sure enough, the Big Boys must have spoken to Prosecutor Will Tran. Such charges are only reserved for White people. Obstreperous Negroes get a pass. ” Prosecutor Will Tran told Justice Indra Maharaj the Crown would not be proceeding with the allegation Nwofor committed a hate-based mischief by interfering with people’s access to St. Thomas Aquinas School.” — Paul Fromm

Crown withdraws hate-crime allegation against Calgary Black Lives Matter president

The Calgary Police Service said there was a “clerical error” in alleging Adora Nwofor was motivated by “hate based on race or ethnic origin” Author of the article: Kevin Martin Published Jun 16, 2023  •  Last updated 1 day ago  •  2 minute read 94 Comments

The hate-crime charge against Calgary Black Lives Matter president Adora Nwofor was dropped by the Crown Friday, two weeks after she was arrested by police.

“There’s just one matter before the court. It’s the Crown’s application to withdraw it,” Tran told Maharaj, about the single allegation against Nwofor.

Outside court, Tran declined comment, which is standard procedure for prosecutors where charges are withdrawn, stayed or downgraded.

ACPS indicates allegation wasn’t reviewed by a prosecutor prior to Nwofor being charged

But in an official statement the Alberta Crown Prosecution Service (ACPS) indicated the allegation wasn’t reviewed by a prosecutor prior to Nwofor being charged.

“The ACPS is working to roll out a pre-charge process provincewide, but Calgary is not currently a participant in this process,” the statement said.

“With the pre-charge process, the prosecutor would have reviewed the potential charge prior to it being laid. The prosecutor would then provide this assessment to law enforcement to consider prior to laying charges,” it said.

Indian Lobbyist Wants to Make Questioning Residential School Claims A Criminal Offence & Justice Lametti Seems to Agree

Indian Lobbyist Wants to Make Questioning Residential School Claims A Criminal Offence & Justice Lametti Seems to Agree

In this age, victimhood is a prize commodity.. With it, a group can induce guilt into tenderhearted Europeans and with guilt comes entitlement and money. The organized Jewish lobby from the 1970s on, used the story of their sufferings in World War II — the so-called holocaust — to pry immense sums of money from Germany. (Germany just allocated another $1.5-billion to survivors. It’s been 78 years since the end of WW II!)

Guilt, though is a useful tool. The press is immensely sympathetic to Jewish interests. Canadians are meant to feel guilty about the so-called holocaust even though it didn’t happen here, it didn’t happen to Canadians, and Canada didn’t do it. Indeed, Canada fought against those who caused Jewish suffering.

Nevertheless, we have Holocaust Remembrance Day and Month and a Holocaust Monument. So powerful has this guilt tripping been that the holocaust has become almost a religion imposed by Western elites that sneer at Christianity.

However, there were soon pesky questions challenging the numbers and many other claims of the victim narrative from some former detention camp inmates (Rassinier), from scientists (Leuchter, Butz, Faurrison, Luftl, Rudolf) and historians (Irving) The power of the guilt message depends on emotionalism. Rational questions are disruptive.

So, the victim group demands that any questioning of its victim narrative be silenced or criminalized. Questioning the Hollywood version of World War II can get you five years in prison in Germany and many other European countries.Last year, Trudeau, he who smashed the peaceful Truckers’ Freedom Convoy with the Emergencies Act and who is no friend of free speech, snuck amendments into the budget criminalizing holocaust denial. No Member of Parliament opposed this gutting of free speech. The holocaust is now an imposed state religion in Canada. It is beyond historical or scientific discussion or skepticism. It must be believed, if one is doubtful, the skeptic must keep silent.

Well, now a spokesman for another entitled group, native Indians, is demanding that questioners of that group’s guilt narrative be silenced.

The guilt narrative suggests that Europeans abused and dispossessed the native people. oF COURSE, there certainly were frictions in the relations between the European founding/settler people of Canada and Native Indians.

The residential schools set up to educate Indian children — to help move them from the Stone Age to the edge of the Modern Age in one generation — were really attempts at genocide, oh, well, not real genocide, but cultural genocide, according to former Chief Justice Beverley McLaughlin. The Harper Government apologized and shovelled out billions of dollars in compensation. The the guilt just keeps on giving. Trudeau has flung more money under various guises to Indians. Then, two years ago a propaganda bonanza occurred. The Kamloops band said that ground penetrating radar had found what might have been 216 graves near a former residential school. The press was is full guilt-mongering propaganda mode. The finding was dubbed “mass graves”, suggesting an undignified one-time burial, perhaps even extermination. Two years later, no further investigation has occurred. Are there even graves there; if so, who is in those graves and how, if it can be determined, did they die?

The irrational guiltmongering allowed the wrecking crew who hate Old Stock Canadians et quebecois de souche to tear down statues including of Canada’s first Prime Minister Sir John A. Macdonald, to rename buildings and even institutions. Ryerson University, named after the father of education in Ontario, was renamed Metropolitan University and a statue of Egerton Ryerson was vandalized and beheaded. The head was later found on the Six Nations Reservation near Brantford. No charges were laid. Over 50 Christian churches were vandalized or destroyed or damaged by arson. Belatedly, Justin Trudeau said he did not condone the arson but said he understood.; Almost no charges have been laid in these attacks one of which destroyed a Coptic Christian church in Vancouver. The Copts came to Canada from Egypt AFTER the last residential school closed.

Our history needs rational discussion. If individual Indians were abused or assaulted by all means charge the perpetrators, if still alive.

However, as with the holocaust, discussion and questioning is not what is wanted. It would interrupt and dampen the very profitable guilt narrative. Thus, “Canada should give “urgent consideration” to legal mechanisms as a way to combat residential school denialism, said a Friday report from [Kimberly Murray] the independent special interlocutor on unmarked graves.

Justice Minister David Lametti said he is open to such a solution. …

In her interim report, Murray raised concerns about increasing attacks from “denialists” who challenge communities when they announce the discovery of possible unmarked graves.

‘This violence is prolific,”’ the report said. ‘And takes place via email, telephone, social media, op-eds and, at times, through in-person confrontations’.” (Canadian Press, June 16, 2023)

Notice that e-mail comments, post on social media and op eds are now labelled as “violence.”

No discussion or criticism is to be allowed: Just hang your head in guilt and shame and pay up! — Paul Fromm

These are reasonable questions.

Canada should consider legal solution to fight residential school denialism: special interlocutor

By The Canadian Press Jun 16, 2023

Kimberly Murray wants to see tougher action on residential school denialism

special tribunal

Canada should give “urgent consideration” to legal mechanisms as a way to combat residential school denialism, said a Friday report from the independent special interlocutor on unmarked graves.

Justice Minister David Lametti said he is open to such a solution.

Kimberly Murray made the call in her newly released interim report, just over a year after she was appointed to an advisory role focused on how Ottawa can help indigenous communities search for children who died and disappeared from residential schools.

Her final report is due next year and is expected to contain recommendations.

The former executive director of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada spent much of the past year travelling the country and hearing from different communities, experts and survivors.

The Liberal government created her role as it looked for ways to respond to First Nations from across Western Canada and in parts of Ontario using ground-penetrating radar to search former residential school sites for possible unmarked graves.

In her interim report, Murray raised concerns about increasing attacks from “denialists” who challenge communities when they announce the discovery of possible unmarked graves.

“This violence is prolific,” the report said. “And takes place via email, telephone, social media, op-eds and, at times, through in-person confrontations.”

Murray listed several examples, including after the May 2021 announcement by the Tk’emlups te Secwepemc Nation that ground-penetrating radar had discovered what are believed to be 215 unmarked graves at the site of the former Kamloops Indian Residential School.

The findings garnered international media attention and triggered an outpouring of grief, shock and anger from across the country, both in Indigenous and non-Indigenous communities.

Murray said in her report that on top of dealing with an onslaught of media attention, the First Nation in British Columbia had to deal with individuals entering the site itself.

“Some came in the middle of the night, carrying shovels; they said they wanted to ‘see for themselves’ if children are buried there. Denialists also attacked the community on social media.”

Kukpi7 Rosanne Casimir of Tk’emlups te Secwepemc said she no longer uses social media without heavy filters because of the intensity of the “hate and racism” she experienced, according to the report, and believes the issue needs more attention…

Murray said Canada has a role to play to combat this sentiment and that “urgent consideration” should be given to what legal tools exist to address the problem, including both civil and criminal sanctions.

Lametti, who appointed Murray to her role, said that he is open to all possibilities to fighting residential-school denialism.

He said that includes “a legal solution and outlawing it,”  adding some countries have criminalized denial of the Holocaust during the Second World War.

The federal government followed suit last year, amending the Criminal Code to say someone could be found guilty if they wilfully promote antisemitism “by condoning, denying or downplaying the Holocaust.”

The measure does not apply to private conversations.

NDP MP Leah Gazan has also called for Parliament to legislate residential school denialism as hate speech.

“I recognize the damage denialism does,” Lametti said Friday as he joined the event in Cowessess First Nation by video conference.”

German Political Prisoner & Thought Criminal Alfred Schaefer Raided

Alfred phoned me this morning from his landline to tell me the latest. The thugs in uniform came en masse at 6 am his time today, ding-dong-ding-dong-ding-dong-ding-dong!!! so, his wife opened up and let them in. Good thing too or they would have busted down the door to the whole building (others live in the same building too). Alfred has proof of that because he overheard one of them reporting back to headquarters that they “did not have to resort to force to enter”. So, these uniformed thugs raided his home once again, stole all his electronic equipment, every last bit of it including his cell phone, took Alfred to the police station in Starnberg, did whatever they do there, and released him.

In his usual fighting spirit, Alfred lectured them non-stop, and the last thing he said to the police chief is “I’d rather be DEAD than be doing what you are doing now!”


He says they were “polite”, but of course showed zero response to his talking at them. His wife heard them commenting on their way out the door how neat and tidy and clean their place was. The normal conditions of the past (neat and clean and tidy German homes) are evidently becoming a thing of the past, according to these guys’ experience.

Dear Friends,

The Toronto Court of Appeal will be hearing the Ontario Attorney General’s appeal this coming week, (Wednesday, June 21, 2023 at 10:00 am, EDT) against my aquittal for their specious hate crime charge levied against me for covertly sharing the Gospel at the Toronto Homosexual Shame Parade in 2016.

Here is a 2016 Lifesite news article on our Gospel ministry to the homosexual parade: https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/christians-dress-as-gay-green-zombies-to-infiltrate-toronto-pride-parade-wi/

Shortly after Lifesite wrote the above news article the homosexual activist lawyers who launched a $104 million class action lawsuit against me for my ministry to the Toronto Shame Parade threatened Lifesite with being included in the lawsuit if they did not remove the above story. To Lifesite’s credit they never removed the original story, but rather wrote this one here: https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/canadian-pro-life-group-threatened-with-legal-action-over-lifesite-report-o/

Anyways, due to cost and logistics of travelling across Canada, the Ontario Court of Appeal is offering zoom to myself and anyone else who wishes to attend my hearing virtually.

Please pray for God to vindicate us at the court of appeal and that a clear and unambiguous ruling is made that Gospel truth speech can never be defined by the authorities or homosexual activists as so-called “hate speech.”

Is the Election Eve Arrest of Populist Candidate Chris Sky Elite Interference in the Election?

Is the Election Eve Arrest of Populist Candidate Chris Sky Elite Interference in the Election?

On June 13, on the eve of the crucial Toronto mayoralty by-election, populist candidate  Chris Sky (Chris Saccoccia)  was arrested for “uttering threats.” He surrendered to police and was released. As usual, the lamestream media and police failed to tell us against whom the threats were made or what exactly these threats were, so that the public could decide.

Why was Mr. Sky arrested, just 13 days before the election? Could police not have arrested him after the vote. The arrest serves to smear his name. Sadly. many people mistake a charge for a conviction. He must be guilty, they think, or the police would not have charged him.
Are the police acting as hitmen for the woke elite? Chris Sky is a populist leader and businessman. He is among about a dozen serious candidates, among 102, for Mayor. He has an impressive election headquarters, has many charge election signs, a sharp website and has held many meetings.
The woke elite detest him. Chris Sky was a key leader of the freedom rallies in Queen’s Park Toronto that began in 2020. His energy and youthful social media savvy made him a powerful icon. His approach was summed up in a short book he wrote Just Say No. Also, he has expressed doubts about some of the common claims about Jewish experiences in World War II. Even the populist Rebel Media tried to pillory him in an ambush interview with Ezra Levant and David Menzies. All they wanted to talk about is the new religion of holocaust, which has become the religion of the woke elite that sneers at Christianity. Misled about the purpose of the interview, Chris walked out on them.

Chris has been persecuted for his leadership. Although a peaceful man, he was placed under a flight ban (usually reserved for terrorists). He had to drive across the country to attend his own meetings in Western cities, including Vancouver. He has been charged 71 times, but there have been no convictions. Charging a dissident is a great way for the elite to restrict or silence a dissident. Broadcaster Leslie Bory is in his fourth month in prison for “uttering threats.” The courts have denied him bail. At one point, several years ago, one of Chris Sky’s bail conditions was that he not enter the City of Toronto (Be out of Dodge City by sunset).
We know the elite was outraged by the massive peaceful Truckers’ Freedom convoy last January. A shaken tyrant Justin Trudeau, applauded by most of the Fake News media, invoked the police state Emergencies Act, to smash dissent and freeze dissidents’ bank accounts.
So, was the arrest of Chris Sky just before the election a similar measure to hobble dissent?

Toronto mayoral candidate Chris Saccoccia has been arrested for allegedly uttering death threats, Toronto police confirmed on Tuesday.

Saccoccia, best known by his internet moniker Chris Sky, has made headlines in the past for his protests against COVID-19 vaccinations and mask mandates. He was arrested in 2021 for threatening to shoot elected officials such as Doug Ford and members of the public, and according to a video shared to his Twitter page on Monday, he has been charged with a crime 73 times.

“I am quite confident that I’ll be exonerated,” Saccoccia says in the video. “The best thing that anybody watching can do, is go out, share this video, and tell everybody to vote for me.” Saccoccia adds in the video that this arrest is the latest in a series of ploys by the “deep state” to render Saccoccia “unelectable.”

In a follow-up video posted Tuesday morning, Saccoccia spoke directly to the youth of Toronto, encouraging them to vote while apparently en route to surrender himself for his arrest.

In a statement to CP24, a representative for the Toronto Police Service confirmed that Saccoccia had been arrested for uttering threats of death or bodily harm, following allegations of text and voice messages sent on June 5 that included a death threat.

Tom Marazzo writes:

“In my opinion, Chris Sky Saccoccia for Mayor is not getting a fair shake. Hated by both elites and politicians, Chris is completely ignored by the legacy media, but his popularity on social media and with the under thirties is undeniable. AND the middle class is increasingly embracing his honest and straightforward no BS style.”

“At 39, Chris Sky is a guy who gets things done. A developer and businessman for twenty-years, he knows his way around City Hall from the outside in. Vice President of Sky Homes Corp. Chris is educated is both Building Design and Development and Sports Medicine. Over the last three years, Chris helped business and families get out from under the fallout of lockdowns, out of his own pocket, because he truly cares about the people.” 

“With a well laid out plan for CHANGE, Chris will never embrace the concept of 15-minute cities. He will lead Toronto out of debt and create a new Toronto that will be a blueprint for growth not only in Canada but around the world.”

“The world needs change! Chris Sky is the Mayor for a positive future! I say, ignore the mainstream media and on Monday, June 26, 2023 regardless of line ups or delays get out and vote Chris Saccoccia for Mayor of Toronto.” 

“You won’t be sorry.”

Anthony Bass, The Latest Victim of Cancel Culture, Corporate Cowardice & Censorship of Any Criticism of the Surging Homosexual Agenda

Toronto Blue Jays relief pitcher Anthony Bass is the latest victim of the tyranny and intolerance of the many corporate backers of the homosexual agenda. Bass made a critical post online about the LGBTQ community. Although he apologized, he added: ” “The video itself, obviously, I took it down,I just felt like it was too much of a distraction, right? But I stand by my personal beliefs and everyone’s entitled to their personal beliefs, right? But also I mean no harm toward any groups of people.” NO! s a corporate slave, he is not entitled to his own views. Nor are the fans. General Manager Ross Atkins warns: ” As for a message for fans who may be against participating in the weekend’s festivities, Atkins said the organization will “continue to work hard to make sure that this is an inclusive environment and one where we will not stand for behavior that makes it otherwise.”

Do you get it? An “inclusive environment” but not of any views contrary to the LGBTQ agenda. Notice, while embracing Gay Pride, the Jays aren’t likely to embrace traditional Christian family pride!

Toronto Blue Jays drop pitcher Anthony Bass following anti-LGBTQ comments

The Toronto Blue Jays have designated pitcher Anthony Bass for assignment following an anti-LGBTQ post the 35-year-old shared on social media last month.

The move comes hours before the Blue Jays’ first game of Pride Weekend when the team faces the Minnesota Twins. Bass was expected to take part in the festivities including catching the ceremonial first pitch on Friday.

Blue Jays general manager Ross Atkins said Friday that Bass’s performance on the field was primarily a baseball decision.

Atkins added that the team values the LGBTQ community and expressed regret for any mishandling of the situation.

“We definitely don’t want anyone feeling any hurt,” Atkins said. “We’re focused on the environment. We care about this community. We care about our fans. And I deeply regret if people do feel that way. It certainly was not our intention.”

In May, Bass shared an Instagram post that called for anti-LGBTQ boycotts of Target and Bud Light over their support for the LGBTQ community and referred to the support as “evil” and “demonic.”

Bass later apologized for the post while speaking to reporters, but has been booed by fans at the Rogers Centre since.

On Thursday, Bass expanded on his original apology, saying he was sorry for “any harm or hurt” that he made toward the Pride community. However, he added that he stands by his “personal beliefs.”

“The video itself, obviously, I took it down,” Bass said. “I just felt like it was too much of a distraction, right? But I stand by my personal beliefs and everyone’s entitled to their personal beliefs, right? But also I mean no harm toward any groups of people. And I felt like taking that down the second time was the right thing to do and not being a distraction. As a team, our job is to win baseball games. And that’s my focus.”

Bass said he did not perceive the post to be “hateful” but added that he understood why some people viewed it as “hurtful.”

The 12-year veteran said he had a “productive” meeting with Pride Toronto’s executive director Sherwin Modeste earlier this week to understand more about LGBTQ community in the city and learn about Modeste’s story.

“Before I said anything, I really wanted just to listen to what he had to say. Those were my intentions going into the meeting, and I felt like it was very productive,” Bass said.

Bass met with Atkins and team manager John Schneider last week and according to Atkins on Thursday, Bass apologized to them and his teammates for “creating any harm and for hurting others.”

“That was not his intent,” Atkins added. “His emotion was very strong, as was mine. I was personally hurt, myself. He felt my disappointment and anger. It was a very charged exchange.”

Atkins said he felt Bass’s apology was “sincere” and that he felt he was holding himself “accountable.”

“That was the most significant piece is that he was accountable,” Atkins said. “He wanted to apologize, not just to me, which was very important, but more importantly to our community and this community. Without that, as I said, we’d have a very different outcome. And then I think the willingness to do something about it, being paramount and seeing that step taken is a good first step.”

As for a message for fans who may be against participating in the weekend’s festivities, Atkins said the organization will “continue to work hard to make sure that this is an inclusive environment and one where we will not stand for behavior that makes it otherwise.”

Bass has a 4.95 ERA in 22 relief appearances this season for the Blue Jays. Bass has also pitched for the San Diego Padres, Houston Astros, Texas Rangers, Chicago Cubs, Seattle Mariners and Miami Marlins.

In a corresponding roster move, Toronto reinstated right-hander Mitch White from the 60-day injured list.

Designated for assignment means the Blue Jays can trade Bass in the next seven days, and if they don’t, they can place him on irrevocable outright waivers – where he will be released or claimed by another team.

Smearing the Freedom Movement: “Their projection is their confession”

I know you have lots to do. Nevertheless, I recommend spending 20 minutes, scrolling-through the pdf at this URL
if you’re one of the dissident voices who understands that the SARS2Covid19 thing is an enormous HOAX,    then it pertains to you

The    Investigative Report “Vancouver Island Freedom Movement is a Hate Movement” is a  classic example of  the anti-Christs’ perverted rhetoric  … for no good reason but to smear / vilify anyone and everyone who sympathizes in any way, with  The Freedom Movement (c).


Reference to holocaust denial gives them away : what   they  fear, is :   Christians at the forefront of this authentic populist movement.  It impacts not just us in Victoria / Kelowna, but everyone who is seen repudiating the wicked-ness in high places in America. 

To long-time political activists  ( such as moi )  it’s comical. Petty, half-baked hysteria,  drinking their own bathwater…. proving  the recent adage “their projection is their confession”. In fact, of those who show up at gatherings big and small, at least 90% are White people.  So this is the opening salvo, locally, of President Biden’s campaign vilifying patriotic White nationalists, as >  The Enemy.   Echoing what Justin Trudeau said about him being glad to get rid of  “old stock” White Canadians.  

In substance, this screed is nothing but a grab-bag of whatever images + half-truths collected via the internet cobbled-together for propaganda purposes.  .  Very little first-hand effort.    But it implies that the Enemies of Freedom are worried-enough to bother with our tiny little group of dissident voices, as we gather at the Leg. every Saturday.   Expect it to be taken up by the media syndicate and printed as “Evidence” !

back in my anti-abortion daze, we used to say    “when you’re taking flak, you know you’re over the target”

Canada’s Highly Politicized “Justice” System Keeps Political Dissidents in Prison & Grants Threats-Making Thugs Bail

Canada’s Highly Politicized “Justice” System Keeps Political Dissidents in Prison & Grants Threats-Making Thugs Bail

It’s a tale of two sets of threats. On February 12, in an on-line broadcast, Les Bory, a self-described politician who has run numerous times in his home town of Brantford, did another of his hard hitting outspoken commentaries. Police alleged that he made general threats against several groups, including Canada’s most privileged minority of all — Jews. Two days later, he was arrested leaving work at gunpoint. At the same time, his home was being raided by rifle-toting cops, the street had been cordoned off, and his wife was handcuffed, although not arrested.He has been in jail ever since. Numerous efforts by his lawyer Ian McCuaig to attain bail for Mr. Bory have been obstructed by the Crown. Les Bory is White, he’s a nationalist, and he’s a populist.Now, nearly four months later, Mr. Bory languishes in prison in Maplehurst Detention Centre in Milton.

Junior Francois Lavagesse is Black. On June 1, he allegedly made threats against Toronto mayoralty candidates In fright several candidates’ debates were shut down. Lavagesse was arrested soon after and charged with uttering threats, while apparently holding a firearm. A mere five days later, he was released on bail. Our legal system bends over backwards for Blacks because in their woke delusions Blacks are over-represented in prison and that must be proof of discrimination. Also, whatever Mr, Lavagesse’s politics are, they were not populist and, therefore, in woke Canada worthy of special persecution.

A 29-year-old man who was arrested last week after allegedly threatening Toronto mayoral candidates has been released on bail, police confirm.

It is not immediately clear what conditions, if any, have been ordered by the court.

Junior Francois Lavagesse, of Toronto, was arrested and charged on June 1 after police say that he made multiple threats against Toronto’s mayoral candidates.

Police allege that Lavagesse walked into a location near Mortimer and Greenwood avenues in East York on the morning June 1, where he brandished what appeared to be a firearm and made threatening remarks about mayoral candidates.

His arrest came hours after police notified candidates about the threat, prompting a number of them to cancel campaign events over safety concerns. A debate was also scrapped that night after some candidates pulled out.

Police said Lavagesse’s arrest was made “without incident” on the evening of June 1.

However, given the nature of the accusations against Lavagesse, some candidates are expressing concerns about his release.

Candidate Brad Bradford said in a video on Twitter that this situation is “emblematic of a story that happens time and time again across the city.”

“Violent offenders are out on bail in our communities, and there are very few checks and balances to keep folks safe,” Bradford continued.

Former police chief Mark Saunders also questioned the decision to release Lavagesse on bail, saying the matter reflects the bail reform issues he’s discussed during his campaign.

“It’s a problem with our justice system,” he said.

Mitzie Hunter, meanwhile, said she personally feels safe, and that her campaign has reviewed its safety protocols while she continues to canvas across Toronto.

“I have every confidence in the Toronto Police Service and they wouldn’t have released him with there being a risk to public safety, and we have faith and total confidence in the court system,” she said in a statement.

Frontrunner Olivia Chow and former deputy mayor Ana Bailao have not yet commented on the situation.
