The mayor and police in Hamilton have decided that some Cana­dians have the wrong kind of opin­ions and should not be allowed to rent pub­lic facil­it­ies.

Last week, Hamilton Mayor Andrea Hor­wath declared the Domin­ion Soci­ety is not entitled to rent city-owned prop­erty to hold a con­fer­ence. The pre­dict­able res­ult was to force the group to seek a private venue in which to hold its meet­ing.

The Hamilton Police Ser­vice then diver­ted some of its stretched resources to imped­ing the efforts of the Domin­ion Soci­ety, issu­ing a polit­ical state­ment denoun­cing it as “divis­ive and exclu­sion­ary,” and as neg­at­ively impact­ing “the sense of safety and belong­ing within our com­munity.” The police even asked the pub­lic to con­tact them with inform­a­tion about any efforts the group might make to secure a venue.

Hamilton’s police and mayor are behav­ing much like Que­bec’s former tour­ism min­is­ter, Car­oline Proulx. In 2023, she ordered the Centre des congrès de Québec, which is owned by a Crown cor­por­a­tion, to can­cel its con­tract with Har­vest Min­is­tries to hold a Chris­tian con­fer­ence. The sole reason for can­cel­ling the con­tract was that Proulx vehe­mently dis­agreed with the Chris­tian group’s beliefs about abor­tion.

The Super­ior Court of Que­bec recently ruled Proulx had abused her author­ity and viol­ated the Charter-pro­tec­ted free­dom of expres­sion of Har­vest Min­is­tries. The court awar­ded gen­eral and pun­it­ive dam­ages to Har­vest Min­is­tries.

The Domin­ion Soci­ety describes itself as “ded­ic­ated to pro­mot­ing Cana­dian iden­tity, her­it­age and nation­al­ism.”

It advoc­ates for remig­ra­tion: send­ing immig­rants back to their coun­tries of ori­gin. Neither Hamilton’s mayor nor its police force have accused it of being viol­ent, crim­inal or ter­ror­ist. It there­fore has the same right as every other non-profit in Canada to oper­ate peace­fully within the law, and to advoc­ate for its beliefs.

Polls have shown roughly half of Cana­dians believe immig­ra­tion levels are too high. Let’s say for argu­ment’s sake only eight per cent of Cana­dians sup­port remig­ra­tion, and 92 per cent oppose it. Should hav­ing only eight per cent sup­port for your opin­ion mean los­ing your right to rent gov­ern­ment-owned facil­it­ies, and to use pub­lic spaces like parks and side­walks?

If yes, then no gov­ern­ment facil­it­ies should be avail­able for rental by the NDP, which garnered only 6.3 per cent of the pop­u­lar vote in Canada’s most recent fed­eral elec­tion. Almost 94 per cent of Cana­dians rejec­ted the NDP in 2025. Yet the NDP is not dis­qual­i­fied from being able to exer­cise its Charter freedoms of expres­sion, asso­ci­ation and peace­ful assembly.

Politi­cians and police officers have every right to express their polit­ical opin­ions for or against vari­ous groups and causes. At the same time, Canada’s may­ors, cab­inet min­is­ters and police forces have no right to treat gov­ern­ment prop­erty as though it were their own private prop­erty, avail­able only to “good” people who have the “cor­rect” polit­ical beliefs.

The Hamilton Police Ser­vice has a sol­emn duty to fight crime. Its decision to waste its scarce resources on polit­ics is a betrayal of tax­pay­ers and free cit­izens alike. Indeed, unlike other pro­fes­sions, police have a legal duty to enforce the Crim­inal Code, as well as numer­ous non-crim­inal laws (such as traffic safety).

The politi­ciz­a­tion of the Brit­ish police should serve as a stark warn­ing to Cana­dians. What began with the mon­it­or­ing and record­ing of “non-crime hate incid­ents” quickly led to Brit­ish cit­izens being crim­in­ally charged for what essen­tially amoun­ted to thought crimes.

Their crimes included shar­ing opin­ions about top­ics like immig­ra­tion and trans­gen­der­ism. David Woot­ton was sen­tenced to two years in prison for an “offens­ive” Hal­loween cos­tume. This is why police should be 100 per cent focused on fight­ing crime and zero per cent focused on polit­ics.

If Canada is to remain a free soci­ety, the gov­ern­ment should uphold the law equally for all Cana­dians, includ­ing those who hold unpop­u­lar beliefs. Oth­er­wise, there will be little to sep­ar­ate us from Fas­cist, theo­cratic, Com­mun­ist or national social­ist regimes, under which the gov­ern­ment decides which views are cor­rect.

This is why tax­payer-fun­ded facil­it­ies like con­ven­tion centres, and pub­lic spaces like side­walks and city parks, are — and must always be — avail­able to all cit­izens, regard­less of their polit­ical beliefs.

Dominion Society Speakers Harassed by Canada Border Services & Anti-Free Speech Agitators Funded by Taxpayers’ Money

Dominion Society Speakers Harassed by Canada Border Services & Anti-Free Speech Agitators Funded by Taxpayers’ Money

The City of Hamilton through its failed Mayor Andrea Horwath announced it wouldn’t rent facilities to the Dominion Society to hold its DOMCON immigration conference, August 29. The Mayor wrote venues warning them against holding the conference. The Hamilton Police said the Dominion Society wasn’t welcome because their message was “divisive.”They even urged people to call a snitch line if they knew where the conference was being held, after two venues cancelled under pressure. So, Hamilton became Cuba North without the palm trees. 


To add insult to injury much of the agitation against the conference  originated with the Anti-Racism Resource Centre and the Hamilton Centre for Civic Inclusion. The latter is closely tied to the former. 

The Hamilton Anti-Racism Resource Centre has lucked into big dollops of taxpayers’ money to fund its advocacy. In 2023, it received $286,000; in 202, $75,000 and in 2025 and guaranteed until 2029, $190,000 a year. These were the people agitating to have the Dominion Society denied a venue. So, taxpayers were paying to have agitators work to deny them the right to hear a controversial immigration reform group.


The federal thought police also got into the act. Austrian activist Martin Sellner, founder of the Identitarian Movement in Austria and a leading proponent of remigration was denied a visa. The League for Human Rights of B’nai Brith, ever eager to restrict what Canadians can say or hear, had agitated for Sellner’s exclusion. The Jerusalem Post (August 30, 2026) reported:  ” Richard Robertson, B’nai Brith Canada’s Director of Research and Advocacy, said, ‘Extremists such as Sellner have no business coming to Canada to attack our multicultural society and incite hate and intolerance.’”


Meanwhile English firebrand Charlie Downes, spokeman for Restore Britain, was held up for three hours crossing into Canada from the United States. A drug sniffing dog was set loose on the car in which he was travelling. The Western Standard (August 30, 2026) reported: ” He said that Canadian border officers asked about his group’s funding, its deportation policy, and alleged “links to neo-Nazism.” Why should a British group’s funding be of any interest to Canadian border authorities.

Local antiracism network coordinates municipal response as controversial `nationalist’ group plans event in Hamilton in August

Hamilton’s socialist Mayor Andrea Horwath may proclaim
tolerance, but not of dissenting views on immigration. Note how
“anti-racism” is not only a code word for anti-White, but also
anti-free speech. The fatuous Mayor even talks of denying the
Dominion Society the right to meet in public spaces. But listen,
you dumpy tyrants, they’re PUBLIC, meaning belonging to all of
us. Notice that the Mayor smears criticism of Canada’s
catastrophic policy of immigration replacement as “hate”.
“Local anti-racism network coordinates municipal response as
controversial `nationalist’ group plans event in Hamilton in
August. Mayor Andrea Horwath says she will be ensuring the
city ‘remains vigilant and clear that events spreading messages of
hate and intolerance are not welcome’ in city facilities or public
spaces. A controversial anti-immigration group is planning to
host a national conference in the Hamilton area this summer —
prompting local anti-racism organizations to work on a
“collaborative strategy” to respond.

The Dominion Society of Canada announced in May that it
would be hosting its first national conference, known as
“DomCon,” in the Hamilton area on Aug. 29. The group publicly
calls for the “remigration” — or mass deportation — of anyone
not descended from Anglo or French settlers of Canada. The
society’s website blames “mass immigration” for low wages, a
lack of jobs and housing, as well as overstretched healthcare and
education systems.


On its website, the Dominion Society explicitly bases its
platform on the “Great Replacement” theory, stating that “native
born Canadians are being replaced in our own domestic
workforce” and calling for an “11step plan” to enforce “the
return of foreigners to their respective homelands.” The group’s
literature targets specific demographics, writing that “Canada is
not getting more `diverse,’ it’s getting more Indian.” The
Canadian Anti-Hate Network has characterized the
organization as the political wing of a broader white nationalist
movement. …
Lyndon George, executive director of the Hamilton Anti-
Racism Resource Centre (HARRC), [who is Black] told The
Spectator his team learned of the event in late May, spurring a
meeting with leaders from the Hamilton Centre for Civic
Inclusion and the Social Planning and Research Council of
Hamilton to create a “collaborative strategy.”
George said part of that strategy includes local organizations
working with the city and nearby municipalities to ensure they
understand “signs of hate,” and to provide information to
restaurants and venues on how the group “may be operating and
disguising their bookings.”
George also called on area politicians and economic development
departments to make it clear that Hamilton and the surrounding
regions are “not a welcoming environment for” anti-immigration
and White nationalist groups. “This is not a group that you want
to welcome here,” said George. “But this is not something that
the community can take on alone.” (Hamilton Spectator, June
13, 2026) Notice that the Hamilton Centre for Civic inclusion
is plotting to find ways to exclude the Dominion Society. You
can’t make this stuff up!

A Strange Sort of “All Candidates” Debate at McMaster

A Strange Sort of “All Candidates” Debate at McMaster

McMaster is one of Canada’s leading universities. On Monday, October 17, the McMaster Students’ Union hosted   sparsely attended mayoralty debate. The leaders in the race, at least as decided by the Fake News CBC, Andrea Horwath and Bob Bratina did not show up. CBC (October 18, 2022) reported: “Monday’s mayoral debate, which saw candidates Michael Pattison, Ejaz Butt, Keanin Loomis and Solomon Ikhuiwu attend, was part of the push by groups like the McMaster Student Union (MSU) to get out the vote, during the final week of the campaign.” For some unknown reason, I did not receive an invitation. This would seem to be part of a widespread campaign by Hamilton’s leftist elite and media — I was warned about this, by a man who has worked closely with the People’s Party of Canada and seen the same tactics at play — to isolate me and deny me as much exposure as possible. It’s sad that a university, which should be a forum for lively debate and clash of ideas should be so restrictive and that was the doing of the students union not the administration! — Paul Fromm

The Rage of Anti-White “Wokeism”: Ontario NDP Sees “Islamophobia” as he Worst Sin Possible — Throws Longtime NDP MPP Out of Caucus for A Facebook Post He May Never Have Made

The Rage of Anti-White “Wokeism”: Ontario NDP Sees “Islamophobia” as he Worst Sin Possible — Throws Longtime NDP MPP Out of Caucus for A Facebook Post He May Never Have Made

During the 2018 Ontario provincial election,the far-left Ontario NDP stood behind their candidate in Scarborough–Agincourt, Tasleem Riaz, a Muslim woman, who denied allegedly posting a pro-Hitler meme on her Facebook timeline at some point in the past. 


The Facebook post features a quote that is commonly attributed to Hitler overlaid over a photo of the tyrannical despot giving a Nazi salute to a gathered crowd. A title above the image reads, “The Ruler said about Rule.” 
The phrase below it — “If you don’t like a rule … just follow it … reach on the top … and change the rule,” is attributed to Hitler, though there’s no direct historical evidence the Nazi leader ever uttered it. 


In a statement at the time, Riaz said that she was “horrified that an inappropriate meme was on my Facebook page” and that she cannot understand how it happened. 


“I don’t recall sharing it in 2013 — and at no point in my life would I have done so intentionally,” she continued.  
“I am an interfaith advocate, and I have devoted my life to interfaith religious tolerance and freedom. I work closely with the Jewish, Hindu, Christian, Sikh and Muslim communities in my neighbourhood. In every way, I find Hitler, the hate he spewed, and the genocide he committed to be abhorrent.”


Case closed. Ontario NDP leader Andrea Horwath gave Riaz the benefit of the doubt. Riaz was believed when she claimed that her Facebook account must have been “hacked”, and the offending meme posted to make her look bad.

Fast forward to 2022. Ontario is set to have another provincial election on June 2. The opposition Ontario NDP is riding high in the polls.


A longtime incumbent Ontario MPP, Paul Miller, is expelled from the party’s caucus at the Legislative Assembly of Ontario this week, after being  accused of being a member of a Facebook group called ‘Worldwide Coalition Against Islam’


Like Ms Riaz, Mr Miller likewise denies ever having committed a moral offence on Facebook.
“I have never posted anything on Twitter or Facebook. Frankly, I’m not that great at the internet”, Miller said. “I have done absolutely nothing wrong”


Unlike, Ms Riaz though, Mr Miller has not been given the benefit of the doubt. He has been kicked out of the Ontario NDP as both a member and a legislator. 


Ms Riaz is a ‘woman of colour’ and a Muslim,so she is automatically the victim in the eyes of the politically correct, ‘woke’, liberal-left,no matter what she says or does. 


Mr Miller is a white male, and thus automatically guilty in the eyes of the politically correct, ‘woke’, liberal-left, no matter what he says or does. 


White leftists like Andrea Horwath worship at the altar of minority pandering, ‘wokeness’, post-modernism, post-structuralism, and while guilt. 


There is increasing no place for White Men on the liberal-left of the political spectrum.Even genuine leftwing union types like Paul Miller are increasingly persona non grata. 
Furthermore, Andrea Horwath is also simply too scared about offending both Ontario’s growing Muslim population (which has been doubling in size every decade since 1991) as well as the feral ‘woke’ mob, to have taken the same action against Ms Riaz in 2018 as she has against Mr Miller in 2022. 


For Andrea Horwath and the Ontario NDP,throwing White Men under the proverbial bus is just the cost of doing politics in Canada during our present Faustian age.
