From Canadian Political Prisoner, Brad Love
Brad Love, a decade after his conviction under Canada’s notorious “hate law” (Sec. 319 of the Criminal Code) for writing non-threatening letters to public officials criticizing Canada’s immigration mess, is still mired in the toils of repression. In July 2012, for sending some information packages to some Toronto Jewish groups, he was sentenced to a further 18 months in prison, plus a further three year gag order from writing letters to the media or politicians. He applied for bail; pending an appeal. In July, 2013, this bail was arbitrarily revoked. So, for the past three months, he’s languished in jail, again for nothing more than the non-violent expression of his populist, no nonsense working guy views,.
Brad was employed in a lucrative job in Alberta’s tar sands in Fort McMurray. The arbitrary imprisonment punishes him for his views, denies him an income and, ironically, denies the state a hefty junk of his pay in taxes.
Why not drop him a line or post card of support. He’ll write back:
Brad Love [557137416] C.E.C.C., 541 Highway 36, Box 4500, Lindsay, ON., K9V 4S6
Here’s the latest. Peter Lindsay, my lawyer,. will have my appeal heard in Nov. That’s all I know. He is also working on retrieving my $22,000 in cash bail. Otherwise my once productive life is at a standstill.
In Free Seech News, we read of the following:
*** My hometown of Ft. Mac which ain’t the bastion of western outspokeness, we were led to believe, radio station Rock 97.9 banned Neil Young, who compared oil sands development to Hiroshima.

Here's the latest. Peter Lindsay, my lawyer,. will have my appeal heard in Nov. That's all I know. He is also working on retrieving my $22,000 in cash bail. Otherwise my once productive life is at a standstill.
In Free Seech News, we read of the following:
*** My hometown of Ft. Mac which ain't the bastion of western outspokeness, we were led to believe, radio station Rock 97.9 banned Neil Young, who compared oil sands development to Hiroshima.
*** In France, Bouchra Bagour sent her kid "Jihad" to school wearing a T-shirt emblazened with "I am a bomb". She was fined $2785.00, her brother 5,573.00. The max you can receive in France for such nonsence is 5 years in jail or a $62,694 fine.
*** In Ontario, the OPP showed up at the doors of outspoken cottagers, seniors to do threat assessments on their activities about nearby nuke waste dumping. They label this 'building relationships'. They did not investigate nor interview those who will not do the actual dumping. I call this 'KGB intimidation".
*** In Israel, they named some sort of bird park built on stolen land after Stephen Harper. In the Toronto Star. letter writers, some Jewish, complained of such bird brained hypocrisy. Personally, I'm hoping for a severe outbreak of bird flu!
Here in the Lindsay Jail, 200 illegal immigrant detainees shipped here from the West Detention Center (where Zundel was illegally held), went on a one-day hunger strike to protest being brought to this far from Toronto jail where phone calls and visits are long distance and lawyers hard to access. Of course, the Immigration Lawyers Society jumped in to complain.
Me, I'm from Alberta, and I'm in jail for simply writing about such scum. Can I complain too? As for an actual 'hunger strike'? We eat at 7:30, 11:30 and 4:30 p.m. 9 hours for 3 meals. In their shithole countries, I'd probably wait twice that long in jail for someone to bring me a cup of dirty water. Snivelling, uninvited urchins, all of them!
I received the multi-signed card from you and I read all the books I can get my hands on and the Star comes daily. I wrote their people as well whenever I see them gloating over dismissed fire fighters, gays/gypsies on the Lakeshore and oh yeah, free speech, which they seem to think is only for "journalists".
But hey, foul-mouthed, loud jewish comedienne, Sarah Silverman in toronto for JUST FOR LAUGHS is A-OK in their book.
I'm in the wrong biz.
