Political Prisoner and Refugee Bill Whatcott Held By Ice, Will Claim Refugee Status Shocking News.
Bill Whatcott is a Canadian political prisoner. On September 16, he was convicted under Canada’s notorious “hate law” of wilfully promoting hate against a privileged group; namely, the LGBTQ crowd. He had already been acquitted on the same charge. Ignoring double jeopardy, the Ontario Court of Appeal sent him back for a second trial. He had merely been testifying to his sincerely held Christians beliefs, obeying the Gospel injunction “to go forth and teach ye all nations.”
Bill had already taken steps to claim political/religious asylum, if he was convicted by the obviously hostile Judge Anne Molloy. That very day, he crossed the border into the U.S. Several weeks later, he asked a friend to go to Alberta and pick up some of his belongings and medications. The American was stopped on returning to the U.S. and told Bill would have to collect his good in person. Despite friends’ advice, he agreed and travelled to Sweet Grass, Montana. He was subsequently flown in handcuffs to Seattle. He will have a refugee hearing and in represented by James Blais of the Pacific Justice Institute.

It is still a criminal offense for me to display my flyer. The Canadian public’s need to know what passes for criminal hate speech supersedes the Ontario Attorney General’s and Toronto Sodomite Pride Committee’s perceived need to keep this flyer under wraps, so here it is:
I tell the story of Canada’s latest political prisoner Bill Whatcott, a deeply sincere Christian who handed our Christian pamphlets at the 2016 Toronto Gay Pride Parade. Judge Anne Molloy declared him guilty under Canada’s notorious “hate law” on September 16. Our Charter is full of holes. Christians beware, our judicial system hates you and will try to silence you. You are not allowed to criticize privileged minorities. Free speech? A scarce commodity in Canada. https://www.bloodriverradio.com/brr-september-19-2026-hour-2/
Activist Bill Whatcott found guilty of LGBT ‘hate’ on leaflets from 10 years ago
It’s beyond dispute that Canadian Bill Whatcott incorporated graphic images and language in his flyers but did so because he was engaged in a self-described ‘spiritual war’ to ‘strike against the dark forces’ of gay pride.
(LifeSiteNews) — Christian pro-family activist Bill Whatcott was found guilty of “Hate” against gay men by a Canadian court over flyers that he distributed during a Toronto pride event a decade ago.
While the court’s ruling has not yet been published, according to a report by the Toronto Star, Superior Court Justice Anne Molloy rejected Whatcott’s explanation that he is motivated by his Christian faith to evangelize those who face “eternal peril” if they do not repent.
Molloy reportedly said that the flyers go beyond “distaste, dislike, or merely being offensive. It is intense and extreme. It is hatred.”
“Looking at the whole picture, Mr. Whatcott, by his actions, has demonstrated a deep animus towards members of the gay community, notwithstanding his testimony that he wants only to save their souls by having them repent their sins. He is far from a simple Christian missionary seeking to convert sinners. He is an activist and an attention seeker. He loves the spectacle of what he did. He enjoyed the attention and he continues to do so,” wrote Judge Molloy, according to the Sun.
“Many of the things included in his flyer standing alone are merely offensive and would not amount to hate. However, the combined effect of the whole flyer, the length to which Mr. Whatcott went to deliver his ‘message,’ the range of people he gave it to and his gloating after the fact all support my ultimate finding that his intention in handing out the flyers at the parade was to vilify gay men. He knew that would be the effect of his actions” the judge said.
“Natural law is clear, homosexuality is incompatible with human nature. Disease, death and confusion are the sad and sordid realities of the homosexual lifestyle,” one of Whatcott’s flyers said.
In another flyer, Whatcott urged recipients to call or email him “if you are tired of your sin and want to come to your Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ and receive the free gift of eternal life.”
“It’s utterly remarkable how far ‘progressive’ authorities and fanatical LGBTQ activists in Canada have gone to persecute conservative Christian advocate Bill Whatcott. Ten years ago, Bill led a group of dressed-up ‘zombies’ into Toronto’s (perverse, nudity-filled) ‘gay pride’ parade and passed out gospel tracts masquerading as condom packages,” fellow activist Peter LaBarbera said on X of the judge’s ruling.
“In a ‘retrial’ after previously being found innocent (hello, double jeopardy!), Ontario’s highest court found Bill guilty of ‘willfully promoting hatred’ against homosexuals,” LaBarbera continued. “I know Bill: he may be unorthodox, but does not hate people caught up in homosexuality. Rather, he desires to minister to them by sharing the life-changing Truth of Jesus Christ. That takes real guts in increasingly ‘woke totalitarian’ Canada.”
It’s beyond dispute that Whatcott incorporated graphic images and language in his flyers, but he did so because he was engaged in a self-described “spiritual war” to “strike against the dark forces” of gay pride.
Using an odd choice of words, the Sun reported that as he left the courtroom Whatcott was “unrepentant” and said that the ruling represented “a terrible day for freedom of speech and freedom of conscience.”
“Humanly speaking from my perspective the prognosis for religious liberty and free speech in Canada is poor and I will not be surprised to see Canada continue on a downward trajectory,” Whatcott wrote on his blog site.
“But of course God is in control and for those of us who believe in His promises we can take comfort in His promise that even as Christians are fired from their jobs, fined, marginalized, and sent to prison in Canada (all of the above is already happening) neither the Gates of Hell nor the taxpayer funded and state backed sodomite agenda will prevail against the Bride of Christ,” he continued.
“This period of perversion and unjust persecution in Canada will pass and the Word of God will endure forever,” he declared.
Hate Crime Verdict, Wednesday, September 16th, prayer request, and a lovely song made for me from a Missionary in Angola
Naked sodomites and a small child at the Toronto Homosexual Shame Parade, July 3, 2016. Criticizing the homosexual shame parade in Toronto can lead to criminal prosecution and while truth is a defense in theory it may not prevail in reality as the Canadian and Ontario governments prefer pro-homosexual narratives over what is true.
Dear Friends,
I talked to my lawyer about trying to get access for those who are interested in attending my court by zoom.`I guess Justice Malloy wants to be the final arbiter of who is allowed to view the proceedings and who isn’t. During the trial she rejected 100% of my friend’s requests, rejected MassResistance even though they have been covering my case for years, and she allowed a couple media outlets and a couple lawyers who were out of province to view the proceedings. It seemed to me the Crown liked the restrictions on the observers, who were overwhelmingly sympathetic to my cause and who were for years were well behaved and did not disrupt the court in any way.
Anyways, if you want to try to convince the judge to allow you to view the verdict on zoom you can send an e-mail to:
CriminalTrialOffice-SCJ-Toronto@ontario.ca
Address the heading of your e-mail with: “Request to Attend a Virtual Proceeding” and ask for the link to “R v Whatcott” for Wednesday, September 16, 2026 and make your argument as to why you should be allowed to attend via zoom. Last time the judge said she needed a good reason to allow someone to attend via zoom and she wasn’t too differential in regards to my desire to have my supporters present. It seemed her own kind, lawyers and the media were allowed. People who donated thousands of dollars to my legal defense over the years and who had a clear interest in my case were not given any consideration.
The most guaranteed way to hear the verdict is to attend in person:
Ontario Superior Court, 361 University Ave, Toronto, ON
Please pray for Monday. Justice Malloy will be holding a case conference with my counsel and with the Crown Prosecutors Monday Morning, I think 9:00 am Eastern Standard Time. I am not sure why. A conference only two days before the verdict date is not something I have seen before. Please keep me in your prayers as the sentencing draws near.
A missionary friend from Angola made this song for me. I didn’t solicit the song, but when he sent it to me, it sure was nice…..
Some of the pictures in this video are genuine that he got from my updates or from the internet and some he created I think. My missionary friend is a blessing. Sometimes out of the blue God puts it on his heart to do something like this and that makes me feel blessed….

Dear Freinds,
Please pray for travel mercies as I head back to Alberta tomorrow. I had a very fruitful time ministering to the unborn and sodomites in the state of Wisconsin. This trip through the United States on my way back from my latest so-called “hate crime” trial has really brought home to me how much Canada and the United States have drifted apart. Since, I have been away, Canada has passed Bill C-9 banning so-called hate symbols and removing the “good faith” religious defense when one is charged with Wilful Promotion of Hatred.
During the last 10 years Liberal governments have been incrementally chipping away at fundamental rights such as freedom of speech, freedom of religion, property rights and especially firearms rights, and expanding fake rights such as euthanasia, sexual deviance, and legalized (sometimes taxpayer funded), illicit drug use. Canada is a darker, less prosperous place than it use to be. Being in the USA there is work to do to keep the nation free and morally coherent (as evidenced in the video and pictures above), but there is a more receptive public and a freer atmosphere politically to share the law and Gospel.
Please pray for me as I await my final court judgment on September 16, 2026 at the University Park Courthouse in Toronto. I believe I lost this time; even though I had the so-called religious defense it was obvious to me that it was worth very little when Justice Molloy opined “you can’t rely on a good faith religious argument when you are clearly not acting with good faith by promoting hate.” Strangely, hate in this context is telling sodomites to keep their pants up as their favourite sex practices puts them and others at high risk of a host of maladies that I listed in my flyer at the 2016 Toronto sodomite parade and got prosecuted for. Such is the sorry state of Canada and its judiciary.
Whatcott’s so-called”hate crime” trial ends and his thoughts as he awaits judgment
Irony. This plaque is located at the Ontario Superior Court, 361 University St, Toronto, the courthouse where I think the freedom to speak against the sodomite agenda will literally cease to exist.
Dear Friend’s,
My trial is over now. I had one friend show up for my last day from Hamilton. The drive from Hamilton to Toronto was terrible. It took him 3 hours in the gridlock, but it was a blessing to have one guy in what was otherwise a mostly hostile court gallery.
In theory, truth is a defense in criminal hate speech cases and so is religion. It seemed to me when we advanced those two defenses in closing arguments they held little weight. I hope I am wrong, but I am not optimistic.
Towards the very end of the hearing when the Crown and my defense were making their their closing arguments, my lawyer pointed out that my Gospel flyer was devoid of any violent language. Justice Molloy challenged my lawyer and read the last paragraph at the bottom of my Gospel flyer:
“Natural law is clear, homosexuality is incompatible with human nature. Disease, death and confusion are the sad and sordid realities of the homosexual lifestyle. The “Gay Zombies” are concerned about the spiritual, psychological and physical welfare of all potential homosexual pride attendees, so we want to give you this accurate information and encourage you to abstain from the homosexuality.”
In the above chapter at the end of my flyer, the Crown argued and the judge also seemed to agree there are clear “Hallmarks of Hate,” namely my warning that “disease, death and confusion” are the sad and sordid realities of the homosexual lifestyle.” Of course, I believe the above statement to be true based on my firsthand experience as a downtown Toronto homecare nurse and also having lived in Downtown Toronto for 10 years during the 1990’s and observing the not so “gay” scene. I know for certain Toronto’s “gay” scene isn’t all that happy, but the kink, drug use, domestic violence, higher than average suicide rate, promiscuity, etc…. is indeed “sad, sordid and confusing.” However, no matter how well backed up by facts and sincere argument the above statement is, I believe as of September 16th of this year the Ontario Superior Court will find this statement to be a criminal offense based on their Supreme Court of Canada Whatcott Decision “Hallmarks of Hatred” test. Truth and reality will be ignored.
Another very troubling statement from the judge was when she was pushing back against my counsel’s argument that my flyer wasn’t violent of genocidal. The judge read aloud, “We want to give you this accurate information and encourage you to abstain from the homosexuality.” The judge then opinionated that this statement is evidence I want to eradicate homosexuals. My lawyer countered I am a conservative Christian and I am speaking out against sexual behaviour that is contrary to Christianity. The judge articulated a very mainstream (in Canadian legal circles) dogma that one’s preferred sexual behaviour is intrinsic to one’s being and therefore in this sense if I criticize homosexual sexual practices, I deny their being and the judge somehow extrapolated my sentence to being a call to genocide.
Molloy’s reasoning on sodomy being intrinsic to a homosexual’s identity and therefore my flyer is genocidal, is actually similar to the reasoning of those who call the government’s church run Indian Residential School system a genocide. Which even though the schools have a homicide rate of exactly 0 in over a century of existence, it is still a matter of orthodoxy in Canadian legal circles to believe a genocide, or at least a “cultural genocide,” occurred. The evidence of this “genocide” being the religious folks working in the schools believed the native kids would benefit from a Christian education and believing the kids would do well to learn skills that enabled them to work and prosper in the white European Christian culture that took root in Canada.
In much the same way I expect Molloy based on her comments today will find telling homosexual identified men to abstain from sodomy and advocating for this position in the public square will be found to be “genocidal hate speech.” Sadly, sharing the Gospel while lifesaving in God’s economy will hold little weight in terms of being a religious defense.
Another concerning exchange between my counsel and the judge was when my lawyer argued I toned down my flyer at the 2016 Toronto sodomite pride parade, when compared to my flyers arguing against the promotion of homosexuality in Saskatchewan’s Public Schools back in 2001. My 2001 flyers were the centre of the 2013 Whatcott Supreme Court Decision and they were entered as evidence in my current hate crime trial. My lawyer argued my toned down flyer was an attempt to comply with Canada’s hate crime law and evidence I lacked “intent” to break the law. Justice Molloy replied “Ignorance of the law is no defense. Just because Mr. Whatcott tried to see how far he could go without going over the line, that won’t save him from conviction if he did go over the line.”
Molloy’s reasoning actually makes sense in normal criminal cases. If you have a vindictive neighbour who is trying to make your life a living hell by swearing at you when you are relaxing in your backyard, and parking their car in front of your driveway to block you from entering or leaving, and getting their dog to poop on your front lawn in an effort to upset you; if you complain to the police and the police warn your neighbour they are going to face a Mischief charge if they keep harassing you, and your neighbour quits the above behaviour to avoid the criminal charge, but resorts to blasting you with loud music at 2:00 am to keep up the harassment, it is indeed reasonable for the court to find guilt and convict your neighbour. Even though the malicious neighbour modified their behaviour somewhat in an attempt to avoid charges, their ignorance of the law is no defense; they clearly wanted to continue in unlawful and malicious harassment, and they went over a clear line when they didn’t cease their harassment campaign completely.
The problem I see with what I perceive to be Molloy’s view of my anti-sodomite Gospel flyer is she perceives my criticism of the sodomite agenda to be in the same league as the malicious neighbour making his peaceful neighbour’s life a living hell. Molloy and Canada’s legal establishment have chosen Wilful Blindness rather than acknowledging the fact there is no clear line between so-called “hate speech” and “free speech.” For those who read my 2016 Gospel flyer (I can’t link to it, but it is on MassResistance’s website”) it should become clear there is no discernable line to stay under when debating the morality and potential harms of the homosexual agenda in Canada. Once I am convicted for distributing this Gospel flyer, the only safe line to avoid a so-called hate crime charge will be to stay quiet and let homosexual activists do what they want, no matter how perverse or anti-social.
It is unfortunate our courts and federal government have made it dogma that sexual orientation is innate and unchangeable. In reality when one looks at humanity from the viewpoint of being God’s creation, it is clear human beings are innately heterosexual, and our biological sexes are male and female and unchangeable. While it is clear to me that God made us heterosexual, it is paradoxically clear (I would argue because of the fall, see Genesis 3) sexual preference really isn’t immutable. Humanity has known for thousands of years sexual behaviour is malleable for better or worse.
Christianity has known since its earliest existence sexual behaviour can change for the worse and then for the better. The early Christian church’s practice was to welcome repentant homosexuals, repentant adulterers, and repentant incest practitioners, as well as others… back to Christ and His Church when the sinner wished to turn away from their destructive sexual behaviour.
“Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you. But you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God.” 1 Corinthians 6:9-11
While Canada’s legal class insists so-called sexual orientation never changes, Christ has called broken sexual sinners of all shapes and sizes back to Himself. In my seminary class back in the 1990s I remember reading about Martin Luther dealing with someone caught up in bestiality who was arguing he didn’t know bestiality was a sin. I believe the guy was turned over to civil authorities, but Luther was still concerned about the guy’s spiritual condition. Thankfully, “born that way” wasn’t a thing during the Reformation.
One of the most powerful testimonies for me is Dennis Jernigan. He left homosexuality in 1981, married his wife Melinda in 1983, and God blessed them with 9 children. Today Dennis is dealing with Parkinson’s disease but is still active in his ministry and is still married to his wife of 43 years. “Gay” dogma says Dennis’ story is impossible, he was born “gay,” and is simply living in denial.
Strangely, while Canada’s “legal class” refuses to accept that Dennis Jernigan truly changed his sexual behaviour, they uncritically accept Ronan Oger’s self-described “conversion.” Ronan was a heterosexual man for the first 44 years of his life. I found a Vancouver Sun article on Ronan in the early 2000’s that called him “Dad.” This was before Ronan became a well-known trans activist. Ronan’s very male picture was simply a part of a story on a childhood immunization clinic and Ronan at that time of his life was a normal looking dad who brought his child to a clinic to be immunized.
At age 44 Ronan Oger discovered he was “really born a woman.” Shortly after becoming a fake woman, Ronan renamed himself “Morgane,” bilked his wife out of $100,000, left her, moved in with another woman and declared himself a “lesbian.”
Ronan called himself a “dad,” but now he thinks he is a mom and is living his life as a self-described “lesbian.” If you question this absurd narrative (as I did) you can be hit with a $55,000 fine by the BC Human Rights Tribunal, or even a criminal hate crime charge as free speech protection vanishes in Canada.
Canada’s officialdom will not accept clear evidence (Dennis’ own testimony, 43 years of marriage to the same woman, 9 children) that Dennis not only rejected the homosexual lifestyle, but that through the grace and power of the resurrected Christ that Dennis is a new creation and is in fact comfortable living as God intends him to live. In Dennis’ case he is called to live in a lifelong heterosexual marriage. By contrast the government uncritically accepts the testimony of an obvious heterosexual male grifter, Mr. Ronan Oger, that he is a woman (even though all evidence is he is a biological male) and he is also a lesbian. If you publicly challenge Ronan’s self-proclaimed identity you can face human rights complaints and potentially criminal charges.
With the above in mind the judgment day for my so-called “hate crime” decision will be September 16, 2026…..
Canada’s pro-life and conservative media has decided not to cover this trial.
In the end I believe I did the best I could with what I had, and I believe God called me to defend the truth I defended in the public square about His definition of morality, marriage, and sexuality.

I believe LGBTQ ideology is a god/idol in Canada. The way it is worshipped, promoted, protected, and the ferocity of our courts and other government agencies in shutting down the detractors of this religion, indeed points to the cult like religious worship of LGBTQ by its Canadian adherents. I did speak out against this idol at the Toronto Sodom parade in 2016 and defended God’s truth in court right up to today. The past 10 years was hard and sometimes could be lonely, but I believe I was faithful (maybe imperfect) to my calling. Regardless of the verdict, I will have no regrets.
God does not always promise an easy path or a guaranteed victory in every battle we go through. But He is faithful and He is there if you seek Him and put your trust in Him. We will see how Justice Anne Molloy rules and what her reasoning is in terms of my finding of guilt or innocence on September 16, 2016.

I am now on my way back to Alberta. It was an interesting 3 month stay in the heart of downtown Toronto. My “hate crime” trial and my run to become Toronto Centre Rosedale’s Christian actual conservative Member of Parliament was especially interesting. Having potential voters in $2 million dollar homes call 911 on me when they received my election flyer and having woke, twenty something year old, female University of Toronto law students freak out and run for campus security when they received my election promises on their campus was downright interesting. Trying to get help for an unconscious overdose victim on a busy downtown Toronto street and have people walk buy and choose not to get involved (I suspect most who walked by were left wing types) was disturbing but interesting.
My transvestite neighbour running around in his short, short, shorts, with his nuts almost hanging out is sort of interesting, but I might not miss him too much. A drugged up, aggressive, guy twice my size smashing a long out of order payphone by an A & W I was walking by and then threatening out of no where to punch me in the face, and then attacking a city garbage can, and then tossing some of the garbage in it at me was interesting, but I definitely won’t miss that guy.
I also met really good people in Toronto. Preaching at three Drag Queen Story Hours with Brad and Pastor Jeffrey Sapocinik was awesome. My Toronto and Hamilton friends who came to court to support me were awesome and much appreciated. Brother Phil getting a team together to help with my election flyers when I needed to add a label at the last minute was a huge blessing. Visiting Father Tony and my friend Paul and my years of friendship with them are huge blessings. Meeting Renaldo at a busy McDonalds as he loudly rebuked Walmart Customer Service on his phone about their practice of selling vibrators, contraceptives, and abortifacient pills at their downtown Bloor/Dufferin location was awesome. I never met a guy quite like him in rural Alberta.
Still, I am looking forward to going back to my rural, red neck, Alberta trailer park now. I think my trailer park is more my kind of place.
My Lifefunder just about perfectly met my need for the three months I have had to reside in Toronto. I just need $300 or so more for gas to get back to Alberta, and then I will appreciate prayers that I find a job right away. I have befriended a Hutterite fellow close to where I live and a grain truck fellow close to my town. I will find out if either of them still need me to drive for them when I return. Pray that God opens a door so I can sustain myself and stay busy until the judgment is rendered in September, then we will see what happens then. God is in control.
“And I, when I came to you, brothers, did not come proclaiming to you the testimony of God with lofty speech or wisdom. For I decided to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified.” 1 Corinthians 2:1, 2
Bill’s courageous female activist tries to look dignified while naked sodomites play with their “Zombie Safe Sex” packages. Now Bill is on trial for a “hate crime” due to the life saving and truthful message contained in those packages that offended some after they opened them up. On the last day of cross examination the Crown tried to compel Bill to reveal the identities of his activists again. Bill stayed quiet and his lawyer objected. Thankfully Justice Malloy upheld the objection. Ten years later the Ontario government still wants to punish people for bringing the Gospel and truthful information to the sodomites in their 2016 shame parade.
Dear Friends,
My final day of court will be tomorrow for final arguments, then I will likely head back to Alberta until the judgment is rendered (probably in a month or two). If you wish to attend:
Ontario Superior Court, 361 University Ave, Toronto, ON
10:00 am, Wednesday, June 3rd, 2026
If you would like to help me with gas (it is expensive) and food expenses getting back home you can do so on my Lifefunder link. Thank you to those who helped me survive in Toronto these past couple months. I assume I will have to come back again this summer when Justice Molloy renders her verdict: https://www.lifefunder.com/whatcott/
A good history of this so-called hate crime prosecution related to my Gospel ministry at the Toronto Sodomite Shame Parade can be found here. I am still not allowed to share the flyer contained in my “Zombie Safe Sex” package (bail condition), however Mass Resistance put the flyer on their website without my permission: https://www.massresistance.org/docs/info2/Bill-Whatcott-free-speech/index.html
We had a nearly full house at the monthly meeting of the Canadian Association for Free Expression in Toronto tonight. Good news from our speaker and former political prisoner Bill Whatcott. His projected three week re-trial on “hate” charges stemming out of his infiltration and leafletting of the 2016 Toronto Gay Pride (?) parade is over after four days.
Next Wednesday is final submissions and then the judge will consider this dynamic Christian’s fate.
At the last minute, on Monday, Mr. Whatcott opted for a trial by judge rather than jury. The judge is Ann Molloy who has a reputation for fairness and has made some rulings that have not endeared her to the woke. Also a vocal Christian who is seeking to run for Mayor of Toronto picked up a number of signatures on his nomination forms at the meeting.
