Former Political Prisoner Brad Love’s Trial Remanded to May 31, 2021 on 10 Counts of Mischief Under $5,000 for Allegedly Putting up Posters
FORT MCMURRAY, ALBERTA, DECEMBER 3, 2020. “I went to the courthouse today, but I didn’t get to see the judge” former political prisoner and citizen journalist Brad Love reported. Mr. Love was in court for his first appearance after being charged with 10 counts of “mischief under $5,000” for allegedly putting up “Keep Canada White” posters about town.
Mr. Love never got to see the judge. He and others who had appearances were rerouted to a desk. Mr. Love was offered a “deal”. If he pled guilty, he’d be sentenced to six months in jail. “No deal,” Mr. Love told the official.
“My rights have been violated,|” Mr. Love told CAFE, “I wanted to see a ban on publicity to protect my rights.” The local paper has complained to the police and instigated charges which were dismissed for Mr. Love’s having called reporters and challenged their reporting or lack of it. Right after he was charged the paper did a smear piece on the outspoken critic of massive immigration and government waste.
