Canadian Political Prisoner Brad Love Spends 65th Birthday in Jail, Denied Bail for Non-Violent Communications With Snowflake Politicians


September 7, 2023. CAFE heard from political prisoner Brad Love today. He’s now being held in the Edmonton Remand Centre. He was arrested on August 23. In woke, snowflake Canada today, calling or writing to a public body with a strong message of protest is considered “harassment” by the vulnerable dears. One charge refers to a letter Mr. Love sent last year to the Fort McMurray Mayor’s Committee on Drag Queens. Two other counts arise from phone calls to his MP and to a native affairs group.


Instead of being granted bail on these non-violent charges, Mr. Love’s bail on a previous similar charge was cancelled and he was denied bail on the recent charges. He was transferred to the Edmonton Remand Centre. He is allowed only five phone calls a month.


Today, at another hearing, he learned that the Crown intends to proceed by indictment, as opposed to summarily. This would allow a harsher sentence for the prolific letter writer. He’s accused of mailing “obscene material” in the mail. 

“This is absurd,” Paul Fromm, Director of the Canadian Association for Free Expression scoffs, “the letters were political, not sexual.” Mr. Love’s letters to politicians also included copies of The Free Speech Monitor and The Canadian Immigration Hotline.

Mr. Love will be back in Edmonton Court on September 11 and 12. CAFE has put him in touch with an experienced lawyer.


In further bad news on his birthday, CAFE learned that his longtime landlord wants him out as soon as possible. The landlord, apparently, is fed up having his house, which Mr. Love shares with several other tenants, frequently searched by police — three times this year already.

If you would like to send a letter or post card to political prisoner Brad Love, here is his address:

LATE BREAKING NEWS: Ex-Political Prisoner Brad Love Arrested for Harassing Phone Calls & Letter

FORT McMurray, Alberta, August 23, 2023. At 3:45 this afternoon former political prisoner Brad Love called CAFE from the police station in Fort McMurray. It must be a slow crime week. The RCMP were seen lurking around the doors and peering in the windows of Mr. Love’s townhouse yesterday. Today, they showed up in person to arrest Mr. Love for three counts of harassment.


In woke, snowflake Canada today, calling or writing to a public body with a strong message of protest is considered “harassment” by the vulnerable dears. One charge refers to a letter Mr. Love sent last year to the Fort McMurray Mayor’s Committee on Drag Queens. Two other counts arise from phone calls to his MP and to a native affairs group.
“It’s a pile on,” Mr. Love told CAFE.


After previous arrests by the  Fort McMurray RCMP, operatives of Canada’s highly politicized justice system,    Mr. Love was granted bail the same day  after a hearing, either in person or by video. Not today. He will spend the night in prison and attend a bail hearing.


Back on the streets in the world of real crime, there’s a war going on among the city’s vitamin stores.  One was recently firebombed. The highly politicized cops have not cracked this arson or the conflict. Far better to hassle an opinionated man who protests the woke policies of governmentBRAd love speaking.jpg

Former Political Prisoner Brad Love Alleges Local Newspaper Reported on Trial Conference Covered by Publicity Ban

Former Political Prisoner Brad Love Alleges Local Newspaper Reported on Trial Conference Covered by Publicity Ban

FORT MCMURRAY June 22, 2022. Citizen journalist and former political prisoner Brad Love made a very brief court appearance — by telephone, of course, due to COVID — here today. The much persecuted and outspoken opponent of mass immigration and government waste gets special treatment. There is an imported judge, an imported Crown (prosecuting attorney), and even an out-of-town court appointed lawyer. Only defendant Brad and the Court Clerk are local. Brad Love faces charges of slashing a car’s tires and leaving “racist” leaflets behind.
The state has invested a fortune in persecuting Mr. Love for his views. Over 30 witnesses have been lined up. Yet, disclosure provided the defendant reveals no one who actually saw him slash a tire or post a leaflet.

Today, Mr. Love objected to the publication in the local weekly Fort McMurray Today, April 28, of another telephone court appearance involving the judge, the Crown, the Court clerk, Mr. Love’s lawyer and himself. The proceedings, which are preliminary to the actual trial, were under a publication ban. The article revealed Mr. Love’s medical situation. His trial was postponed earlier this year because, as he explained to CAFE, he’d been seriously ill from COVID. The newspaper has been a strident opponent of Mr. Love and even filed a criminal complaint of “harassment” some years ago because he had made phone calls complaining of their coverage of certain issues. The paper also gave extensive information about Mr. Love’s alleged criminal past, calling him a man “with hate crime history.”

The April 28 hearing had involved just five people; the judge, the Crown, the Court Clerk, the court appointed defence lawyer and Mr. Love. It was a telephone conference. This raises the question who leaked the proceedings.

The judge acknowledged Mr. Love’s objection to the violation of the publication ban but said he’d discuss it next week.
The case will resume June 29, by video to set a date for trial and hear Mr. Love’s objections to the violation of the publication ban.

Ex-Political Prisoner Brad Love’s Mischief Trial Gets Off To A Shaky Start

Ex-Political Prisoner Brad Love’s Mischief Trial Gets Off To A Shaky Start
FORT MCMURRAY, October 12, 2021.Ex-political prisoner Brad Love appeared briefly in provincial court this morning, When the judge, specially brought in to try this case as were the two Crowns, heard that the court appointed lawyer assigned to question civilian witnesses had met with Mr. Love for the first time before Court , he said: “Mr. Love has complied with everything.’ The lawyer had failed to properly prepare.
The judge adjourned the trial until tomorrow to give Mr. Love time  to consult with the Court-appointed lawyer Susan Bottern. Mr. Love had strongly opposed the appointment some months ago Mr. Love is known for his detailed preparation and aggressive questioning. He can question the police,  but the civilian witnesses are deemed too fragile to face the accused. “There are 530 pages of disclosure,” Mr. Love fumed. “Fifteen minutes to prepare for a three day trial is a joke,” he added. The judge agreed. Susan Bottern explained that she did not have Mr. Love’s phone number.
“The police and the Crown certainly did,” the accused, who has been the victim of an ongoing campaign by the RCMP, told the Court.

 On October 23, 2020, officers from the local detachment of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police arrested former political prisoner and longtime political activist Brad Love at his townhouse. He was taken to police headquarters and charged with 10 counts of “mischief under $5,000.” He was interrogated and then released on his own recognisance.   Two weeks before, his home had been raided by six RCMP officers (masked, of course) with a warrant looking for glue, “Keep Canada White” posters and copies of the Canadian Immigration Hotline, published by the Canada First Immigration Committee, and which has been in publication for over 30 years.BRAd love speaking.jpg
​
Mr. Love intends to ask for the full name of the second Crown who would give her name only as Susan.”So much for an open Court,” Mr. Love observed.

The disclosure reveals that none of the witnesses can identify Mr. Love as the man who posted the material critical of immigration. Several, though, said they felt “afraid” because they live in a “multicultural” neighbourhood. “Their feelings are irrelevant,” Mr. Love argues.

A sign of the times moment occurred before the trial. Mr. Love stopped in to the McDonald’s near the Court for a coffee. He was not wearing a mask. He bought his coffee and sat down at a table to drink it. An obvious foreign counter girl came over and demanded his vaccine passport. “I don’t have one,” he said. She ordered him to leave. He stayed for a while before heading off to Court.

Ex-Political Prisoner Brad Love Heads to Court on “Mischief” Charges

Ex-Political Prisoner Brad Love Heads to Court on “Mischief” Charges

FORT MCMURRAY, ALBERTA. February 10, 2021. Ex-political prisoner Brad Love heads to Court here today for yet another round in a more than 10-year battle by the RCMP and local snowflakes put off by this outspoken citizen journalist, enemy of government taxation, special privileges for minorities and demography shaking immigration.Over a 15-year period Mr. Love served nearly three years in prison from charges laid in 2002 under Canada’s notorious “hate law” (Sec. 319 of the Criminal Code.) His crime? He had written letters critical of Canada’s immigration policies to 20 MPs and other public officials.

On October 23, officers from the local detachment of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police arrested former political prisoner and longtime political activist Brad Love at his townhouse. He was taken to police headquarters and charged with 10 counts of “mischief under $5,000.” He was interrogated and then released on his own recognisance.   Two weeks before, his home had been raided by six RCMP officers (masked, of course) with a warrant looking for glue, “Keep Canada White” posters and copies of the Canadian Immigration Hotline, published by the Canada First Immigration Committee, and which has been in publication for over 30 years.
A trial date was set for May 31, 2021. Several weeks ago, a masked man who did not identify himself came to Mr. Love’s residence and presented a summons to appear on January 27 before the Court of Queen’s Bench. When Mr. Love arrived at the Court, he was denied entry to the building because of the COVID virus! Not wanting to miss a court appearance, Mr. Love phoned the Court. He eventually was subject to a telephone conference with Judge Stephanie Cleary. The Crown is desperate to prevent the savvy Mr. Love from cross-examining witnesses, especially police officers. Over his objections, a court appointed lawyer will do the cross-examination for him.
He will appear again in Court today to set a new trial date and to make several motions. As he notes: “This will be my first appearance in person before a judge!”

Many of the charges go back to July of 2020. A police statement reported: ” On July 22 around 5 p.m. police responded and found racially related writings on a vehicle in the 200 block of Powder Dr.” Apparently, these were posters or newsletters. Since when did “racially related writings” become a crime or cause for police action? Mr. Love states that Fort McMurray is awash with drugs — a problem that might better occupy police time.

In the meantime, Mr. Love has received some 300 pages of disclosure. When he went to pick up his disclosure, the desk clerk interrupted him even  before he could identify himself or his business and said: “We know who you are.”

His four housemates were all questioned by the RCMP, but there is no mention of this fact in the disclosure.

The hefty disclosure is light on content. There are no witness statements, photos or video linking Mr. Love to any postering. Apparently, the RCMP did access credit card sales at the Superstore close to Mr. Love’s residence and established that he had shopped there — no surprise.
A more sinister revelation was the fact that Mr. Love had been the object of many hostile posts on Facebook by people who had been stalking him and taking pictures of his home and truck. There had been numerous threats against him online.

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.

Former Political Prisoner Brad Love Charged With 10 Counts of “Mischief Under $5,000” Regarding Posters

Fort McMurray, Alberta, October 23, 2020. Officers from the local detachment of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police arrested former political prisoner and longtime political activist Brad Love at his townhouse. He was taken to police headquarters and charged with 10 counts of “mischief under $5,000.” He was interrogated and then released on his own recognisance.

​
Two weeks ago, his home was raided by six RCMP officers with a warrant looking for glue, “Keep Canada White” posters and copies of the Canadian Immigration Hotline, published by the Canada First Immigration Committee, and which has been in publication for over 30 years.
At the police station, he was asked questions such as, “Brad, is that your truck in the mall parking lot?” He was shown a fuzzy, grainy black and white from what looked like WW II aerial surveillance.”

“I don’t recognize it,’ Mr. Love said. “The photo is so poor.” Later, he told CAFE: “Even if it had been my truck, so what? I have a right to visit the mall to shop.”
The police also rattled off a number of dates over the past few months and asked him where he had been on those dates.
“I don’t know,” Mr. Love told the Mounties. “I can hardly remember where I was yesterday.”
Mr. Love is outspoken and frequently has called Alberta media to complain about their coverage of issues. Reporters have had him charged with intimidation for having made phone calls. All such charges in this touchy town were either withdrawn by the Crown at the last minute or dismissed in Court.
Mr. Love has paid a heavy price for his outspoken nature and dissent.

Former Political Prisoner Brad Love Raided by 6 Mounties Looking for Glue, Posters & Canadian Immigration Hotlines


FORT McMurray, October 2, 2020. At 9:15 this morning, no fewer than six members of the local RCMP detachment raided a townhouse here shared by political activist and former political prisoner Brad Love with four other people. A warrant, dated September 30, authorized the masked Mounties to search for “glue,’Keep Canada White’ posters and copies of The Canadian Immigration Hotline“, published for over 30 years by the William Hopkinson Society.


Mr. Love, a vocal critic of Canada’s failed immigration policy, has been a frequent target of police harassment for his having called the local newspaper and politicians to call them to account. Previous charges have usually been withdrawn at the last minute.


Mr. Love reports that the raid which lasted over two hours, also involved searches of the bedrooms of the other men with whom he shared the house.
The warrant authorizing the search for glue and literature sought evidence for “mischief under $5,000.” The police carted away a box of items for which they provided Mr. Love with no receipt.


“Somebody is putting up pamphlets,” one of the officers told Mr. Love. “It’s not about free speech, Brad.”


When advised of the raid, Paul Fromm, Director of the Canadian Association for Free Expression commented: “Sadly, under this reign of Cultural Marxism, our police forces are increasingly becoming political police.”

“I’m trapped in my own police state,” say ex-political prisoner & dissident Brad Love, raided by cops with blank search warrant

“I’m trapped in my own police state,” say ex-political prisoner  & dissident Brad Love, raided by cops with blank search warrant
“I am trapped in my own police state and it’s called Fort McMurray, Alberta,” exclaims Brad Love, an outspoken dissident and former political prisoner, after a police raid on his Fort Mac residence on March 23
 
The police came with a blank warrant — no mention of what they were looking for. They left with three bags of property but left Mr. Love with no receipt for the goods stolen.
 
Mr. Love lives with three other room mates. He was in the shower when seven burly cops used a ram to hammer open an unlocked door and storm in with rifles and guns drawn.  “They’ve been watching too much television,” says the unarmed writer and dissident.
 
The next day in traffic court, Mr. Love spoke to a legal aid lawyer in another matter. The lawyer said: “The police can pretty much do what they want. You could hire a lawyer and apply to the court for reasons for the warrant and a list of what was taken.”
 
Mr. Love has searing contempt for lawyers in Fort Mac. “Half the lawyers in town are afraid of me and won’t talk to me. They are afraid of the police. I need a headhunter lawyer. This is a small town and the cops, the courts and the lawyers are in a comfy, cozy relationship,” he adds.
 
Anyone else would be able to march down to the police station and inquire about the blank warrant and ask for a list of the goods stolen However, Mr. Love is in the final year of a three-year probation order, imposed on him, not in North Korea but in Ontario. He is forbidden to communicate his views to any political, press, police or religious organization.. Thus, strictly speaking, he is not allowed to even speak to the police. And justice is not just blind, it is brainless and literal as well, in Mr. Love’s case.

He wonders whether the incident was cop payback for a confrontation the day before. He and a friend were driving in town. They noticed a car pulled over and being ticketed by the RCMP. Mr. Love who was in the passenger seat called out, “Go get him, di Pasquale.” Moments later two RCMP cruisers chased after Mr. Love’s vehicle. He was ordered out of the car, but said: “I am not the driver. I don’t have to get out.” The police searched the car, without a warrant and then issued Mr. Love, who was not the driver, a $600 ticket for “stunting”.
 
“Stunting”, in Alberta, is defined as:
 “115 (2) A person shall not do any of the following:

(e) perform or engage in any stunt or other activity that is likely to distract, startle or interfere with users of the highway;
(f) drive a vehicle so as to perform or engage in any stunt or other activity on a highway that is likely to distract, startle or interfere with other users of the highway;

 
The policeman in question wasn’t even driving or using the road at the time of the incident. Mr. Love described officer  di Pasquale as “a head hunter. There is bad blood between us.”
