Irish rap group Kneecap have been banned from entering Canada ahead of their tour of the country on the grounds of alleged “hate speech” and “glorification of terrorism.”

“Recently the rap group Kneecap has engaged in actions and made statements that are contrary to Canadian values and laws that have caused deep alarm to our government,” Parliamentary Secretary for Combatting Crime Vince Gasparro said in a video announcing the ban Friday morning.

“The group have amplified political violence and publicly displayed support for terrorist organizations such as Hezbollah and Hamas,” Gasparro said.

The lawmaker noted that one member of Kneecap is facing terrorism-related charges in the UK. He also claimed that the band displayed “hate symbols that directly target the Jewish community,” though he did not specify what these were.

“That is why, as parliamentary secretary for combatting crime, I am announcing that effective immediately, the members of Kneecap have been deemed ineligible to enter Canada,” Gasparro said.

They were due to perform in Toronto and Vancouver starting October 14.

Kneecap responded to Gasparro’s allegations in a statement issued on X, calling the lawmaker’s claims “wholly untrue and deeply malicious” and announcing that they intend to file “legal action” against Gasparro.

“When we beat you in court, which we will,” the Belfast-based group said, “We will donate every cent to assist some of the thousands of child amputees in Gaza.”

The band further claimed that “significant Zionist lobbying groups” had pressured the Canadian government, including the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs and two others.

CIJA’s spokesperson Nicole Amiel told CNN Friday that CIJA had been “very vocal about them not being allowed to come into Canada.” In a statement Friday, the group welcomed Gasparro’s announcement as the “right decision.”

CNN has also reached out to Kneecap’s management and Gasparro for further comment.

This is only the latest controversy involving the outspoken Irish-speaking rap group, which was formed in Northern Ireland in 2017 and been praised for their efforts to revitalize the Irish language through hip hop.

The trio frequently speaks out against Israel’s actions in Gaza, often leading crowds in chants of “Free Palestine” at their shows.

The British government has accused one member, Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh, of displaying a Hezbollah flag at a 2024 concert in violation of UK terror laws, in a case that is currently in the courts, with the next hearing on September 26.(CNN, September 19, 2025)

Canada’s Largest JewishCanada’s Largest Jewish Lobby Group the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs Howled “anti-semitism”: Reporter Fired

Posted on by

[It’s enough to make a rational person laugh. Elisa Serret, a reporter on French language Radio Canada argues there is considerable Jewish and Israeli power in U.S. politics.”  “It is the Israelis, the Jews, that finance American politics a lot,…  There is a big machine behind them, making it very difficult for Americans to detach themselves from Israel’s positions. It’s really money here in the United States. The big cities are run by Jews, Hollywood is run by Jews.” 
OK, those are her opinions. But are they true.? Jewish control of Hollywood goes back a century. Henry Ford warned about it in the 1920s. Marlon Brando noted their power as did actor/producer Mel Gibson.  Jewish author Neal Gabler even wrote a book boasting about this achievement. Wikipedia states:  ” An Empire of Their Own: How the Jews Invented Hollywood is a 1988 non-fiction book whose topic is the careers of several prominent Jewish film producers in the early years of Hollywood. Author Neal Gabler focuses on the psychological motivations of these film moguls, arguing that their background as Jewish immigrants shaped their careers and influenced the movies they made.” AIPAC, the America Israel Political Action Committee funnels huge sums of money to Congressmen and Senators of both parties, ensuring almost unanimous and largely uncritical support for the State of Israel. Money talks and principles walk. The few politicians who refuse to play ball can expect to be challenged by a well-funded opponent in the next primary.And then there’s the endless procession of politicians of both parties to Israel, the men usually slapping on a yamulke and bowing before the Wailing Wall. There is no such procession of American politicians to far larger traditional allies like France, Italy or Japan.
So, Elisa Serret’s comments are essentially accurate.
Canada’s largest Jewish lobby group the Centre for Israel and Jewish affairs howled:  

“Antisemitism is absolutely unacceptable on Canadian airwaves, especially on our public broadcaster. Yet these words were aired earlier today,” the group said on X on Monday, quoting some of the phrases used by Serret, who has worked for the public broadcaster since 2014. 

The group said it expected “immediate and unequivocal condemnation from all relevant leaders, including Heritage Minister” Steven Guilbeault. On Tuesday morning Guilbeault released a statement on X saying that “antisemitism has no place in Canada.”

And lo and behold, Canadian politicians jumped to obey. The very next day Heritage Minister” Steven Guilbeault. released a statement on X saying that “antisemitism has no place in Canada.” “The words used last night were pernicious antisemitic tropes and have absolutely no place on Canadian airwaves. When antisemitic language is used by journalists, or anyone in a position of trust, it risks normalizing hatred in deeply dangerous ways,” he said.

We ask, were Elisa Serret’s words true” They were. How is the truth hate? Even Guilbeault’s language mimics Jewish lobby denunciations of criticism of Israel. His accusation of “pernicious anti-semitic tropes” echoes statements regularly made by the ADL and Jewish writers. They love the seldom used word “trope.” I can say this as a person holding an M.A. in English Language, Literature and Linguistics, with considerable further post graduate studies. ” A trope refers to a figure of speech, turn of phrase, or idea that carries a deeper meaning beyond its literal meaning.” Elisa Serret’s comments are facts, not figures of speech.

Sadly, it would appear that unemployment will be the fate of this reporter with nine years experience, punishment for having crossed this powerful minority lobby.

Journalist ‘relieved from duties’ at Radio-Canada after Jewish group calls out ‘antisemitic’ comments

.

A journalist has been “relieved from her duties” at Radio-Canada, CBC’s French-language service, until further notice after a Jewish group condemned comments she made on air as “antisemitic.”

“My understanding, and that of multiple analysts here in the United States, is that it is the Israelis, the Jews, that finance American politics a lot,” said Elisa Serret, the Washington correspondent for Radio-Canada, who was speaking in French.

“There is a big machine behind them, making it very difficult for Americans to detach themselves from Israel’s positions. It’s really money here in the United States. The big cities are run by Jews, Hollywood is run by Jews…”

The comments were made in response to host and news anchor Christian Latreille asking Serret to break down why Americans “have such difficulty distancing themselves from Israel, even in the most difficult moments.”

This episode of sur le terrain (or “on the ground,” in English) aired on Monday. It covered U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s visit to Israel and meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

A clip of the episode was posted on social media by Jewish advocacy group, Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs (CIJA).

“Antisemitism is absolutely unacceptable on Canadian airwaves, especially on our public broadcaster. Yet these words were aired earlier today,” the group said on X on Monday, quoting some of the phrases used by Serret, who has worked for the public broadcaster since 2014.

The group said it expected “immediate and unequivocal condemnation from all relevant leaders, including Heritage Minister” Steven Guilbeault. On Tuesday morning Guilbeault released a statement on X saying that “antisemitism has no place in Canada.”

He said the public broadcaster “belongs to all Canadians, and as leaders, we have a responsibility to hold it to account and demand the highest standards in journalism.”

“The words used last night were pernicious antisemitic tropes and have absolutely no place on Canadian airwaves. When antisemitic language is used by journalists, or anyone in a position of trust, it risks normalizing hatred in deeply dangerous ways,” he said.

The vice president for CIJA Quebec called the decision to suspend Serret “the only appropriate course of action” that Radio-Canada could have taken. Eta Yudin called the journalist’s comments “vile.”

“However, this incident cannot be allowed to pass without serious internal reflection on the damage such hateful rhetoric inflicts on our democratic values,” said Yudin.

“Antisemitism is corroding the fabric of our society. Its persistence is made possible by the very environment that enables it. We expect Canada’s national public broadcaster to recognize this reality and to take concrete steps to ensure that neither such comments — nor the systemic issues that enabled them to be aired — are ever allowed again on Canadian airwaves.”

In a statement released in French on Tuesday afternoon, Radio-Canada said the analysis by Serrat “about American policy in the Middle East led to stereotypical, antisemitic, false, and harmful allegations against Jewish communities.”

“These unacceptable comments contravene Radio-Canada’s Journalistic Standards and Practices and in no way reflect the opinion of the public broadcaster. As a result, newsroom leadership has decided to relieve the journalist from her duties until further notice,” the statement said.

“We recognize that these remarks have hurt many viewers. We are sincerely sorry and apologize.”(National Post, September 17, 2025)

Political Prisoner Les Bory Sentenced to Time Served (3 Years) For Podcasts Deemed Hate: Jewish Lobby Still Not Satisfied

Political Prisoner Les Bory Sentenced to Time Served (3 Years) For Podcasts Deemed Hate: Jewish Lobby Still Not Satisfied

Brantford, March 10, 2025. In Ontario Superior Court this morning, political prisoner Les Bory was sentenced to time served.On January 14, He was convicted of one count of promoting genocide against Jews, one count of wilfully promoting hate, one count of uttering threats against police, and one count of uttering threats against politicians. The Crown had asked that Mr. Bory provide a DNA sample, a degrading demand as the charges had nothing to do with sex.


The Crown had asked for the maximum, five years, for the genocide count, one year for the hate charged, to be served concurrently, one year each on the uttering threatsd charges to be served consecutively adding up to seven. Mr. Bory was entitled to time and a half for the 23 months plus he spent in remand in the Maplehurst Detention Centre. His lawyer in his submissions noted that Mr,.Bory spent 665 days in a 7 foot by 9 foot cell meant for 2 men but filled with three. Lawyer Ian McCuaig denounced the isolation caused by frequent lockdowns and overcrowding as “inhumane.”Mr. McCuaig meticulously reviewed the length of recent sentences for conviction under the hate law and argued that the Crown’s demands were excessively harsh.


In pronouncing his sentence, the judge noted the videos were “mind numbingly boring” and reached an average audience of about 200.


Five Jewish groups or individuals submitted victim impact statements. Mr. Bory had mentioned none of these individuals or groups in his broadcasts. Yet, they paraded themselves as “victims”. Four outspoken anti-free speech groups — the League for Human Rights of B’nai Brith, the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs, the Friends of the Simon Weisenthal Centre, and the Canadian Anti-Semitism Education. This organization’s spokesman Michael Tefler claimed: “Every Jewish person is a victim of Mr. Bory’s crime.”
Richard Roberts of B’nai Brith charged” ‘The actions of Mr. Bory … repeating tropes denying the holocaust … have made Jews feel insecure and afraid and unwanted.”
The Jewish lobby was furious that the sentence was not harsher.

“This sentence does not adequately reflect the severity of Bory’s actions and sends a troubling message about the consequences of promoting hatred and violence,” said Jamie  Kirzner-Roberts of the Friends of the Simon Wiesenthal Centre.

Small Victory: Liberals Split Bill C-63 in Two: The Draconian Sections Will Follow in A Later Piece of Legislation

Posted on by

[It’s a small victory and buys us time. Parliament is so clogged with backlog, two months of filibuster because the Liberals won’t turn over all the documents Parliament ordered in regards to the Green Technology Fund scandal, and, of course, the crisis Canada faces because President Trump may impose tariffs because of our lax border and thriving fentanyl industry, that virtually nothing is getting done as we hurtle to a federal election which can’t come soon enough. So, the Trudeau government in splitting the noxious “Online Harms” Act, Bill C-63 into two: The first bill will deal with ponderous new bodies to harass Internet Service Providers to restrict kiddie porn, revenge pron, etc., which are already restricted.. The projected cost of this new censorship apparatus is estimate to be $200-million and it may take many months to train staff. It is this bill which will have have priority.

The more police state provisions — life in prison for “hate motivated” crimes, life in prison for advocating genocide, prior restraint a judge can order if convinced a person May commit a “hate crime”, the return of Sec. 13 and the tyranny of the Canadian Human Rights Commission, where there can be anonymous complainants and astronomical fines — will be put into another Bill which has lesser priority.

The usual proponents of censorship aren’t happy. The Jewish lobby, primarily the old Canadian Jewish Congress, has been the prime instigator, beginning in the 1930s of anti-free speech laws. It’s successor is angry. “The Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs expressed concern about what it said appeared to be the government backing away from the part of the bill meant to address rising acts of antisemitism. At a time of widespread antisemitism, we are very disappointed that the Liberal government is, in effect, dropping the parts of the bill which could have had an impact on the spread of Jew-hatred online,” said  Richard Marceau, vice-president of external affairs and general counsel. “It is time for the government to commit to fighting antisemitism concretely.” (National Post, December 5, 2024) “Anti-Semitism” is serious criticism of Jews or the State of Israel.

An the other side of the infernal quarrel in the Middle East also is unhappy. “”A spokeswoman for the National Council of Canadian Muslims says in a statement the organization “has been in favour of hate crime reform and balanced online harms legislation that respects civil liberties.” “We are committed to working with all parties to make sure that things move forward positively, but we are seeing more and more examples of how hate crime legislation and the Criminal Code in relation to hate isn’t being appropriately applied,” wrote Fatema Abdalla.” — Paul Fromm]

Trudeau Liberals blink on censorship bill — but the fight isn’t over!

The Liberals say they’re still committed to bringing in the worst parts of the ‘online harms bill’, but now they’ve split the legislation in two parts. It’s a win for freedom of speech and the over 75,000 Canadians who have signed our Stop The Censorship petition. But the fight isn’t over yet.

Breaking news: the Trudeau Liberals blinked on their censorship law, Bill C-63. They haven’t cancelled it. But they’ve decided to split it into two parts. They’re proceeding quickly on the first part, which includes things like banning revenge porn and sex trafficking.

(By the way, revenge porn was already banned by Stephen Harper 10 years ago, and child porn was banned decades ago — those were obviously added to the censorship bill as a distraction from their real purpose.)

But they say they’re going to split off the censorship provisions and go slower on those.

This is a win for freedom of speech — and the 75,267 Canadians who have signed our petition.

PETITION: Stop the Censorship!

76,108 signatures

Goal: 100,000 signatures

meta-img

Please sign this petition to demand that Justin Trudeau repeal all of his censorship legislation, including his latest “Online Harms Act.”

But as you can see in the video here, the Liberals still say they’re committed to bringing in those censorship provisions. So this could be a trick, to make us lower our guard.

I have personally heard C-63 referred to by several journalists as the “kill Rebel” bill. Of course it is: because we’re one of the few news outlets that doesn’t take money from Trudeau, so we’re one of the few news outlets that can’t be controlled by Trudeau.

If Trudeau can’t use the carrot with us, he’ll use the stick: censorship.

Even though he’s hated by his own party, Trudeau has the votes to smash this through Parliament. He supports this censorship, and he has a deep, personal hatred for Rebel News. You’ve seen his bodyguards beat up our reporter David Menzies; and Chrystia Freeland’s bodyguards beat up David, too. If they’ll commit an assault against our reporters — breaking the law — they’d obviously think nothing of changing the law to get us, either.

And both Jagmeet Singh’s NDP and the separatist Bloc Québécois have said they support the censorship provisions, too. That’s enough to ram this through.

I’m glad Trudeau blinked today. But it’s nothing more than a blink. If we’re to take the Liberals at their word, they still intend to pass this law — just under a different name.

C-63 will create three new different censorship agencies in Canada. It would give the Canadian Human Rights Commission the power to investigate anyone in Canada for anything they post online — or have ever posted online in the past. It would set up $20,000 bounties for anyone who makes a complaint that’s successful; it would give the courts the power to make hate speech “restraining orders”, to stop people from saying things even before they do, even putting them under house arrest.

It’s the most draconian censorship bill ever seen in Canada.

Our motto is “telling the other side of the story”. But you can’t do that if the government tells you that you can’t even say something. We constantly challenge government censorship, and we’ve had to spend more than $500,000 this year alone on free speech lawyers.

The fact that Trudeau says he’s going to split the bill in two doesn’t mean he’s done with it. Until this bill is dead, it’s still alive. Don’t let your guard down. We won’t.

We have sued Trudeau to stop his censorship more than any other news organization. We’ve hired free speech lawyers to fight against censorship in the B.C. Supreme Court, Alberta Court of King’s Bench, the Federal Court, the Federal Court of Appeal and the Ontario Superior Court. We are even seeking leave to appeal to the Supreme Court of Canada itself.

Pathetic Poilievre Toadies to Minority Censorship Groups

Posted on by

“Christine Anderson’s views are vile and have no place in our politics. The MPs were not aware of this visiting Member of the European Parliament’s opinions, and they regret meeting with her,” says the statement.

“Frankly, it would be better if Anderson never visited Canada in the first place. She and her racist, hateful views are not welcome here.”

“Christine Anderson’s views are vile and have no place in our politics. The MPs were not aware of this visiting Member of the European Parliament’s opinions, and they regret meeting with her,” says the statement.

“Frankly, it would be better if Anderson never visited Canada in the first place. She and her racist, hateful views are not welcome here.”

Pathetic Pierre Poilievre denounces visiting German politician, Christine Anderson. The usual anti-free speech suspects were having a canniption after three Tory MPs met and had dinner with visiting Member of the European Parliament Christine Anderson a member of the Alternative for Germany (AfD) Party. She’s a firebrand who speaks perfect English. Why shouldn’t MPs meet with foreign politicians of whatever stripe. How are we going to know what they think, if we don’t talk to them.

Nevertheless, Poilievre was right on board with shunning. His office issued a statement bristling with hostility: “Christine Anderson’s views are vile and have no place in our politics. The MPs were not aware of this visiting Member of the European Parliament’s opinions, and they regret meeting with her,” says the statement.”Frankly, it would be better if Anderson never visited Canada in the first place. She and her racist, hateful views are not welcome here.” (CBC. February 24, 2023)

So, seeking to prevent your country from being swamped by radically different aliens are “vile, … racist and hateful views”? Poilievre has shown himself ready to kowtow ti minority interess that have tried to limit what are acceptable views for decades. He is, of course, a big immigration man and massive immigration, as we’ve seen it for the past 40 years, means the replacement of Canada’s European founding/settler people.

Interestingly, one of the three MPs who met with Christine Anderson was Leslyn Lewis (Haldimand – Norfolk) who is Black and presumably would have known if MEP Anderson was “vile” hateful and racist”!

And you still think this career politician, obviously beholden to minority lobbyists like the Centre for Israel & Jewish Affairs & the free speech hating Canadian Anti-Hate Network, is an alternative?

Poilievre condemns ‘vile’ views of German politician seen lunching with Conservative MPs

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is attempting to distance his party from a far-right German politician whose views have been condemned as hateful and racist, and who was photographed lunching with three Conservative MPs earlier this week.

Christine Anderson, a member of the European Parliament with Germany’s Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) party, is on a cross-Canada tour that ends tonight in Montreal.

On Tuesday, photos emerged online showing Anderson at a restaurant with a group that included three Conservative MPs — Niagara West MP Dean Allison, Oshawa MP Colin Carrie and Haldimand–Norfolk MP Leslyn Lewis.

The Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs, which describes itself as an advocate for Jewish federations across Canada, condemned the gathering, tweeting Thursday that it had raised the issue with the Conservative Party of Canada.

Anderson’s views ‘not welcome here’

On Friday, Sebastian Skamski, director of media relations for the Opposition leader’s office, issued a statement attributed to Poilievre:

“Christine Anderson’s views are vile and have no place in our politics. The MPs were not aware of this visiting Member of the European Parliament’s opinions, and they regret meeting with her,” says the statement.

“Frankly, it would be better if Anderson never visited Canada in the first place. She and her racist, hateful views are not welcome here.”

Poilievre’s office issued a separate statement attributed to the three MPs who were photographed with Anderson.

“It is, of course, not uncommon for members of Parliament to meet with visiting elected officials from other countries. During a visit, we recently met with an elected representative of the European Parliament while she was in Canada,” said the statement.

“We were not aware of the views or associations of her and her political party. We do not share or endorse her views and strongly condemn any views that are racist or hateful.”

There’s Big Money in Fighting Racism & Curbing Free Speech

There’s Big Money in Fighting Racism & Curbing Free Speech

  Egyptian-born, hijab wearing Amira Elghawaby is Canada’s newly minted Special Representative on Combatting Islamophobia. The job comes with a $6.5-million budget — no word on how much the highly critical Elghawaby will pocket. She’s no friend of free speech. She’s been a board member of the anti-free speech Canadian Anti-Hate Network (CAHN) — that’s Bernie Farber and Richard Warman, both decades-long advocates of state censorship of speech. She currently works for the Muslim Association of Canada and the National Council of Canadian Muslims. She worked in communications with the taxpayer-funded Canadian Race Relations Foundation. She’s a shrill critic of this country. Terry Glavin in the National Post (February 1, 2023) reports: “As an activist and frequent opinion-pages contributor, Elghawaby has adopted all the respectable standpoints with just the right degree of transgressive élan, rarely too strident or too squishy. She called for removing the Queen as Canada’s head of state and dismissed Canada Day as a festival of ‘Judeo-Christian storytelling.’ She’s been gushing in her praise for Trudeau and backs the Trudeau government’s extremely contentious moves to regulate commentary on the Internet. She’s argued in favour of Muslim prayer rooms in schools [of course, Christian prayers are banned in most public schools], and once blasted the former Conservative government of Stephen Harper as having done more harm to the image of Canadian Muslims than al-Qaida’s atrocities in New York and Washington on Sept. 11, 2001.” As she doesn’t like the Queen and believes Canada Day was concocted by Jews and Christians, one wonders why she doesn’t return to Egypt. She quickly ran into a firestorm of protest from across the political spectrum in Quebec for remarks suggesting that Quebec nationalists are Islamophobes. Interestingly, her appointment was endorsed by the loudly anti-free speech Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs.

The appointment is a shameless attempt for curry favour with the Moslem vote. What is Islamophobia? Literally, it is a fear of Moslems or the Islamic religion. Many people may have good reason to fear radical Islam or the religion itself which has often been a religion of conquest. Does the government have any role in telling people what to think or feel? Certainly not in a country that values freedom. Islamophobia like “anti-Semitism” — yes we have a Special Representative (the well-connected Irwin Cotler) to combat that too –is a vague term and all too often means any criticism of Moslems or Islam.

If any group needs a special representative, it is Christians. Not only is there barely disguised disdain and hostility from many Canadian governments to Christianity, but 2021 saw a cross-Canada terrorist campaign of arson and vandalism of Christian churches. Writing for True North (August 21, 2021) Cosmin Dzsurdza reported: “Sixty-eight Christian churches in Canada have been vandalized, burned down or desecrated since the announcement last month of the apparent discovery of graves found near a residential school in Kamloops, BC. Since then, three other first nations have announced similar findings of burial sites located near former residential schools. In response to these announcements, far-left radicals have used this opportunity as an excuse to terrorize Catholic and other Christian communities by targeting churches. Twenty-five churches across the country have been lit on fire in the past two months, many of them have been completely destroyed.” Far from appointing a special representative to combat Christophobia, Trudeau said that, while he didn’t support arson and vandalism, he could understand it.

There she is, second from the left, beside the monumentally incompetent fellow Moslem Ahmed Hussen, ex-immigration minister who presided over the Roxham Road invasion, and now is Minister of Housing, Inclusion & Diversity; beside him iis Omar Alghabra, the Saudi Moslem and witless
Transportation Minister who blamed Canadian travellers last summer for airport delays, saying
had forgotten how to unpack their laptops for screening.

A YEAR AFTER OUR CRIMINAL COMPLAINT TRAVIS PATRON STILL HASN’T BEEN CHARGED

THE LEADER OF THE NEO-NAZI CANADIAN NATIONALIST PARTY IS ESCALATING HIS ATTACKS ON THE JEWISH COMMUNITY

July 16, 2020

Canadian Anti-Hate Network

In June 2019, the Canadian Anti-Hate Network filed a criminal complaint with the RCMP in Saskatchewan for an antisemitic video posted by Travis Patron, leader of the neo-Nazi [false] Canadian Nationalist Party. The RCMP says they launched an investigation. A full year later the RCMP has not made any further statement on the status of that investigation, despite Patron escalating his antisemitic calls to arms. It’s turning into international news.

Given the most recent incidents, CAHN board member Richard Warman filed a renewed criminal complaint with the RCMP and CIJA and the Friends of Simon Wiesenthal Center followed suit, filing their own complaints.

If you support our work against the neo-Nazi [false] Canadian Nationalist Party, help us out at antihate.ca/donate. Thank you!

The video that prompted our June 2019 complaint deals in antisemitic tropes, calls Jews a “parasitic tribe,” and says they need to be dealt with once and for all; any reasonable person would understand the video as a call for deportations and genocide.

At the time Patron claimed it wasn’t about Jews:

“Unless you self-identify with the accusations in the video, then it doesn’t concern you. But if you choose to be offended by it, ask yourself WHY? Is it wrong for Canada to rid itself of a parasitic relationship that has only served to suck us dry? #Zionism #cdnpoli”

Patron has a social media history of supporting “historical revisionism,” a term Holocaust deniers [false — skeptics] use to self-identity, liking posts quoting Hitler, and promoting the writings of Quebec fascist Adrian Arcand, a Hitler supporter who was arrested and interned during WWII.

Despite his barely veiled neo-Nazism, [false] our promise to name their members should they not renounce their support, and the pending investigation, Patron’s Canadian Nationalist Party was ultimately recognized as a federal political party with all the inherent benefits in time for the 2019 election. Unsurprisingly, Patron and his two candidates received almost no votes.

In November 2019, Patron was charged with aggravated assault and assault causing bodily harm for allegedly attacking two women who wouldn’t get in his car. Those charges are pending.

Since then Patron has made nonsense arguments that he isn’t subject to Canadian law and dispensed with any pretense that he isn’t targeting Canadian Jews. He has posted a video giving a Nazi salute, which he calls a Roman salute, and published a flyer with the transcript of the first antisemitic video, adding:

“The people we speak of are not truly ‘Jews.’ They are liars and deceivers attempting to shield themselves from criticism using a false identity. Let us be aware and expose them for what they are: a tribe of parasites.”

Patron has since made other videos in the same vein, and is also dealing biblical antisemitism, including sharing an infamous bible passage saying Jews are of the “synagogue of Satan.”

CAHN believes the evidence is more than sufficient for the RCMP to criminally charge Patron with the wilful promotion of hatred against the Jewish community who have every right to be protected from Patron and the poison of his hate propaganda.

It’s been over a year since the first criminal complaint. How much longer do we have to wait?

Free Speech Haters Are Glum As Dr. James Sears Avoids Sentencing & Wins Right to Argue for a Mistrial in “Hate Law” Case

Dr. James Sears, editor of the wickedly satirical NEW WARD NEWS, won the chance to argue for a mistrial in his “hate law” case. He has fired his lawyer and argued incompetent defence and sabotage. His passionate self-taught lawyering recalled the freedom fighting brilliance of the late Doug Christie. Submissions, including list of expert witnesses and “will says” are due July 29. Back in Court August 1. Free speech haters and many in the hyena pack media were glum faced that Dr. Sears was not led away in handcuffs. Especially prune faced were Warren Kinsella and the anti-free thought Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs and the League for Human Rights of B’nai Brith.

Free Speech Booted in the Groin at Toronto Library Board

Free Speech Booted in the Groin at Toronto Library Board

   TORONTO, December 11, 2017. Free speech took a hefty jackboot in the groin tonight, as the Toronto Library Board unanimously approved a new pace Rental Policy that will allow staff to deny meeting space to events “likely to promote, discrimination, contempt or hatred of any group, hatred for any person on the basis of race, ethnic origin, place of origin, citizenship, colour, ancestry, language, creed (religion), age, sex, gender identity, gender expression, marital status, family status, sexual orientation, disability, political affiliation, membership in a union or staff association, receipt of public assistance, level of literacy or any other similar factor.”

 

   The Board had met in private session before the 6:00 p.m. public meeting. It was clear the fix was in and the decision had already been made. In the short discussion that followed four public delegations, the word “unanimous” was heard several times. Indeed, when Chairman Ron Carinci called the question, not a single member of the 12-person Board stood for free speech.

 

   The new policy will allow staff, especially if one of the anti-free speech groups complains, to decide what will be said at a meeting that hasn’t occurred yet and determine whether hate, contempt or discrimination against any of the long list of privileged people “might” occur and, on the basis, deny the booking. Three opponents of free speech spoke as delegations, including Bernie Farber, formerly CEO of the Canadian Jewish Congress, and Madi Murariu of the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs.

 

    I had driven for an hour and 20 minutes on treacherous roads in the Winter’s first snow storm to arrive late but still on time for my presentation — the outline of which is attached.

    The Toronto Star (December 11, 2107) reported: ” Paul Fromm was visibly upset when the board voted in favour of the restrictions.

‘I’m very disappointed the board has signed up for censorship and shut down views,’ said Fromm, who is director of the Canadian Association for Free Expression.

Police were alerted ahead of what turned out to be a peaceful meeting as a ‘precaution, as we always do when there’s a potentially controversial situation,’ said Ana-Maria Critchley, a library spokesperson.”


​Paul Fromm addressing Toronto Library Board

   In the short non-debate, board members did much virtue signalling and several breathlessly proclaimed: “Free speech does not translate into hate speech.” as if they’d dreamed up this non sequitur on their own.

 

   John, a long-time free speech and CAFE supporter noted sadly that libraries used to be in the forefront of the fight against censorship and that the word “hate” has been hijacked and is meaningless. It is used to smear any idea the user does not like.

 

   Bernie Farber, a persistent opponent of free speech for decades, told his “I was a poor little Jewish boy being bullied in Ottawa and found safety in the library” story. He now says he’d feel unsafe in a library that allows people whose views he opposes to meet.

     So, apparently to comfort the snowflake, any meetings that “might” promote “hate” or even “contempt” must be silenced. I tried to point out to the Board that “contempt” really is just negative criticism.

 

   It was clear from the short discussion that the rental policies had been reviewed after intense lobbying from the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs, which also, incredibly, was consulted in the drafting of the new gag rules. Needless to say, the Canadian Association for Free Expression was not contacted. But then, this was never about freedom; it was really about limiting speech in buildings we all pay for.

 

   One Board member exulted: “The Toronto Public Library will be an oasis from hate and discrimination” and, it might be added, from the free expression of ideas.

   Tonight free speech in Toronto took a hit. Snowflakes and censors, 1; free thinkers, 0! — Paul Fromm

PRESENTATION TO TORONTO LIBRARY BOARD AGAINST PLANS TO IMPOSE POLITICALLY CORRECT RULES TO PREVENT MEETINGS
 
The enemies of free speech, the usual suspects — the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs, B’nai Brith, Bernie Farber, Warren Kinsella and the street thugs of the Antifa raised a huge ruckus in July to try to shutdown CAFE’s memorial for free speech lawyer Barbara Kulazska. The Library hung tough. the meeting proceeded without a hitch. However, the Library was clearly spooked and promised to “review” its policies. The review goes to the Library Board tonight.  It is a vile document of cloying political correctness which would let staff deny a booking on the mere suspicion that remarks might expose a group or person to “contempt”; that is, criticism. Here is the presentation I shall giver.

Presentation to the Toronto Library Board by Frederick Paul Fromm – December 11, 2017

1.  The Toronto Library Board is considering revisions to its  Community and Event Space Rental Policy What concerns us are changes to the Denial of Use Section of the Policy.

“The Purpose section has been revised to add language about the Library’s objectives of providing equitable access to services and maintaining a welcoming supportive environment free from discrimination and harassment. 

 

· The Denial of Use sections 4.4 (a) and 5.4(a) both state much more strongly that room bookings will be denied or cancelled when the Library reasonably believes the purpose of the booking is likely to promote, or would have the effect of promoting, discrimination, contempt or hatred of any group, hatred for any person on the basis of race, ethnic origin, place of origin, citizenship, colour, ancestry, language, creed (religion), age, sex, gender identity, gender expression, marital status, family status, sexual orientation, disability, political affiliation, membership in a union or staff association, receipt of public assistance, level of literacy or any other similar factor. 

 

· Under the same Denial of Use sections 4.4(b) and 5.4(b), violations of the Criminal Code of Canada (including hate propaganda laws) and the Ontario Human Rights Code are specifically referenced as unacceptable.”

 

2. First, the Toronto Public Library is not a private club. It belongs to all citizens and should be open to use, including rental of rooms for meetings, to all citizens, without discrimination, if for no other reason than all taxpayers pay for it.

 

3. It is fair to ask persons renting facilities to be aware that they must obey the law, including the Criminal Code and various bylaws. Thus, for instance, a smokers’ rights group should be able to rent a room for a meeting, but, if they announced, they would stage a smoke-in to dramatize their views, it would make sense to deny the booking.

 

4. People renting Library facilities must be responsible to their own words and actions. Staff should not have to try to guess what their words or actions might be.

 

5. In renting meeting space, the Library is not condoning or supporting any point of view, any more than having a book on the shelves means the library endorses the book’s conclusions. Clearly, the library contains many books with wildly different views on a given subject.

 

6. The revised policy is saddling staff with an impossible task — to decide, in advance, of an event, what will be said at that event and whether words that haven’t yet been uttered  are “likely to promote, or would have the effect of promoting, discrimination, contempt or hatred of any group, hatred for any person on the basis of race, ethnic origin, place of origin, citizenship, colour, ancestry, language, creed (religion), age, sex, gender identity, gender expression, marital status, family status, sexual orientation, disability, political affiliation, membership in a union or staff association, receipt of public assistance, level of literacy or any other similar factor.”

 

* “Promotion of hatred” is a bogeyman. No person or group who has rented Toronto Public Library facilities has, to our knowledge, ever been charged or convicted of “hate”; that is, Section 319 of the Criminal Code. This is a restrictive policy seeking to solve a problem that does not exist.

 

* But, it’s not just “hatred” but contempt that is being prohibited. “Contempt” is a very broad term, meaning dislike of a negative opinion of. It is hard to see how any criticism based on “race, religion, gender orientation or political affiliation or any of the other mentioned grounds” could pass muster. Suppose someone wrote a book entitled Mike Harris 20 Years Later. If the book repeated some of the common criticisms of the time — that Mike Harris balanced the budget on the backs of the poor and squeezed the education system —  and if the author were to speak about his book at a meeting, might is not be likely that the meeting would promote contempt of Mr. Harris because of his political affiliation and, therefore, should be cancelled?

 

* “Contempt” was included in the Sec. 13 (Internet censorship) of the Canadian Human Rights Act but was repealed by Parliament in 2013. It is overly broad and basically chills any criticism on a whole range of topics.

 

* One wonders what “any other similar factor” might be.

 

7. This policy could lead to the banning of all sorts of meetings dealing with contentious topics. It is an affront to free speech, especially as it involves subjective “prior restraint” which is a violation of Canadians’ basic right to be considered innocent until proven guilty.

 

7. This policy is a reaction to an organized campaign by censorship minded groups and individuals who protested a memorial to a lawyer who represented controversial clients. these groups took the view that, because they disagreed with Barbara Kulazska’s clients, her friends and admirers should not be allowed to meet to remember her. The Library did the right thing in permitting that memorial to proceed.

 

8. In October, C-FAR Books sought to book a meeting for a talk by Victor Fletcher, editor and publisher of Toronto Street News. We were turned down on October 3 and informed: “  Given the history of the individual and group involved in the booking and the publication being discussed, Library staff believe that the booking could lead to a violation of hate speech legislation.” This decision was unreasonable and outrageous. Neither the individual or group involved in the booking or Mr. Fletcher or Toronto Street News has ever been charged, let alone convicted under Sec. 319. We fear that this censorship is a harbinger of what will happen should the Board adopt this new policy.

 

9. We fear the hecklers’ veto. If an organized lobby makes enough noise in trying to shut down a meeting of people they don’t like, the new policy is so broad that it gives staff the power to shut down any gathering more controversial than the Rosedale Orchid Society.

 

10. The policy contains no independent appeals process against the denial of a room booking. This is especially important as staff decisions may be made only on the basis of accusations or allegations made by groups or individuals seeking to get a meeting cancelled.

 

10. May we suggest a truly inclusive, open door policy. Any person or group, who is a taxpayer,  should be able to rent a meeting room, if available. They are made aware that they are responsible for their own conduct and for obeying all relevant laws. The community should be informed that the library follows a free speech policy. Meetings will not be cancelled because the speakers or topics are controversial.

 

11. The proposed policy will not buy peace but will embolden those who have no tolerance for views critical of their own group or ideology to try to shut down groups or speakers to whom they object.

Report from Pyongyang on the Prairies — Hotels Don’t Honour Bookings; Hotels Discriminate Against Whites; Cops Engineer Banning of Service

Report from Pyongyang on the Prairies — Hotels Don’t Honour Bookings; Hotels Discriminate Against Whites; Cops Engineer Banning of Service

SOMEWHERE IN MANITOBA, November 15, 2017. It’s been a wild day here in Winnipeg. Except for there not being the smell of kimchee in the air, this city is about as free as Pyongyang. It is a story of utterly cowardly hotels, blatant discrimination and, in the background, interference by the political police.

I was supposed to speak to local supporters at the Airport Hilton, My topic was

 Charlottesville Changed Everything

* An elite running scared

* New repression — Motion-103 (Islamophobia) now in committee

* Little rebellions across Canada

You can see the version of this speech I gave in Vancouver a few weeks ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EJzN-2486mQ

Before I arrived in Winnipeg, there had been two days of lies and denunciation in large articles in the Winnipeg Free Press, written by a reedy writer in a wool cap, one Ryan Thorpe. I comment on one of his smears at the end of this article. You’ll note the article reveals almost nothing about what I believe but unleashes a torrent of weaponized words — “neo-Nazi”, “White supremacist” etc.

VICTORIA, B.C.: AUGUST 14, 2010 – Paul Fromm, Canada First Immigration Reform Committee director, talks to the media during a protest against the rescue of Tamils, at CFB Esquimalt in Victoria, B.C. August 14, 2010. (ADRIAN LAM, TIMES COLONIST). For City story by Stand Alone

When I arrived in Winnipeg early this afternoon, I hopped the shuttle to the Airport Hilton. I was met at the door by Wade Barkman. He was accompanied by a massively overweight East Indian who wouldn’t identify himself to me. I assume he was some sort of a bodyguard. The two barred the doors; “We are not able to honour your reservation.” [That’s a contract guaranteed by a credit card.]

Why, I asked. I had patronized this hotel on and off for more than 20 years. He agreed I’d been a good guest. Well, why?

“Circumstances,” he said. I told him that was insulting and was no answer As late as Tuesday, the Hilton was hanging tough. Jewish groups — the usual instigators of censorship, were denouncing the hotel for profiting from my presence. Joel Lazer of the Jewish Federation of Winnipeg and the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs said: “It is shameful that a local hotel is reportedly providing a platform (and therefore profiting) from Paul Fromm, a notorious white nationalist, to peddle his bigoted agenda.” (Winnipeg Free Press, November 15, 2017) Actually, I had rented a large bedroom suite for a small gathering.

An e-mail from Barkman even references the number of the contract that he was breaking:

#3392768116

to me

Mr. Paul Fromm,

 

Due to circumstances surrounding your scheduled visit to the Hilton Winnipeg airport Suites, we will be unable accept your request for accommodations tonight.  We will begin searching for alternate accommodations and will inform you if we are successful in finding you a hotel room elsewhere.

Local anti racists also promised protests. So, by this morning, the hotel had changed its mind. They were a little more forthcoming with long-time anti-free speech campaigner Helmut Harry Loewen: “We appreciate and acknowledge your concerns regarding Mr. Fromm’s proposed event… Due to safety and security concerns, the reservation has been cancelled and Mr. Fromm will no longer be staying at the hotel,” a spokesman for the hotel company wrote in an email to Helmut-Harry Loewen, a retired University of Winnipeg professor with a specialization in neo-fascism.

Canadian white nationalist Frederick Paul Fromm arrives in Winnipeg Wednesday night vowing to speak to supporters despite a local hotel cancelling his reservation.

 “Our goal is to provide quality accommodations for our guests, employees and members of our community visiting our hotel. Racism in any form is not tolerated,” the statement read.

  1. Who might pose a threat to safety or security? Presumably, the antifa. One wonders: Are there no police? Or is the mere threat of a protest enough to tear up a contract? Or worse are the Winnipeg cops actually a political police in cahoots with the antifa and more interested in suppressing politically incorrect thought than maintaining law and order?

Barkman claimed he’d tried to find me another hotel but could not — in hotel alley? He provided a cab and I set off to find another venue.

Not far away, I stopped in at the Main Stay Suites. I booked a suite. I contacted those invitees I could. I never cancel a meeting. I was receiving calls from interested people, some phoneys, some young and sincere. Indeed, I met three excellent new recruits this hectic. day.

I was treated to a fine supper by some good supporters. On the way back, I gave a short interview in person to scribbler, hatchetman — he’s not  reporter — Ryan Thorpe. I got a sneaky satisfaction from forcing him to buy me a double-double before I gave him a few quotations and let his frenetic cameraman wear out his camera snapping  pics. Then, back into my cab and on to the MainStay Suites (250-594-0500).

Then, about 7:45 just as people were beginning to arrive, I received a call from the hotel manager, who, like many cowards in this business, refused to give his full name. I challenged this slimy behaviour. I said: “You know my name. I want to know yours.” He suggested that I might not be using my proper name. I said: “I showed your staff my photo ID.”

Anyway, Jason — that’s the name he gave me — his story was that he was throwing me out because he had been contacted by the police. By this time there were about a dozen antifa protesters in the hotel parking lot. I suggested that he had no right to throw a person who had paid out of a hotel room. I cited the Innkeepers Act. [Can you imagine a sober Indian in a business suit being tossed out of a hotel room because of his politics? But then this is Pyongyang lite, not the True North of sturdy independent thinkers that is quickly fading into the past in this cultural Marxist vomitorium of diversity.]

I insisted that, if I was to be put out into the night, they would have to haul all my luggage, Eventually, a cab was found. Several supporters followed me as I headed to the Canad Hotel. The Filipina on the desk told me she had several types of rooms available. As soon as I showed my ID, she grew pale and asked me what the “P” in my name stood for. I told her, She became flustered. She made a phone call and then told me that having refreshed her screen, she found the hotel was overbooked. I expressed my serious skepticism.

She then broke down and confessed: “We had a call from corporate headquarters and were given a strict order not to let you stay.” I said: “This is blatant discrimination! Is it because I am a Christian? Is it because I am a White male?” She was clearly distressed.

I said:  “You were not born here. How would you feel if someone turned you out because, as you’ve just told me, you were from the Philippines?” She clearly sympathized. “I am only a worker,” she said softly. And of course, it was true. This was not her decision but the  decision of dark forces responding to pressure far greater than could be exerted by the motley crew of anti-racists.

My supporters and I headed out to a decidedly downscale hotel that was not part of a chain and was known to one of my guys. We pulled up to the Assiniboine, an old watering hole. As soon as the desk clerk saw my ID, he summoned the night manager, a bald burly man with earings who looked as if he’d done some bouncing decades ago. “I can’t let you stay. I have a bad gut feeling,” the bouncer said. Here I am a 68-year old man in a suit. Perhaps, given the dingy beer joint appearance of the place, a guy in a suit may have given him “a bad gut feeling.”

I asked his name.   He said it was “Brian.” What’s your last name? I asked, “I don’t have to tell you,” the cowardly bouncer said. The parking lot outside the quiet Assiniboine was almost  empty — few boozers or guests tonight.Odd that such a down-at-heels place would turn down a paying customer.

Clearly, the fix was in and likely from people with the power to make serious threats and that’s not the freakish antifa.

My supporters saw the pattern and found me other accommodations.

Hectic as the day was, I picked up three new supporters because of the publicity, two of whom saw first hand antifa goons and the shameless cowardice of the hospitality industry, which, ironically still e-mailed me several times for my reaction to my stay at the Hilton!

White nationalist mulls legal action after Winnipeg hotel cancels room reservation

Frederick Paul Fromm said his presentation would go on as planned in an undisclosed location.

Facing backlash over news Frederick Paul Fromm would be holding a Wednesday night conference at the Hilton Winnipeg Airport Suites, the hotel issued a statement saying it has cancelled the notorious Canadian white nationalist’s room. [Actually, that’s a bedroom and, a lawyer advises me, utterly illegal discrimination.]

“We appreciate and acknowledge your concerns regarding Mr. Fromm’s proposed event… Due to safety and security concerns, the reservation has been cancelled and Mr. Fromm will no longer be staying at the hotel,” a spokesman for the hotel company wrote in an email to Helmut-Harry Loewen, a retired University of Winnipeg professor with a specialization in neo-fascism.

Canadian white nationalist Frederick Paul Fromm arrives in Winnipeg Wednesday night vowing to speak to supporters despite a local hotel cancelling his reservation.

 “Our goal is to provide quality accommodations for our guests, employees and members of our community visiting our hotel. Racism in any form is not tolerated,” the statement read.

Anti-facists soon called off a protest planned for outside the hotel, which was to counter-demonstrate Fromm’s far-right gathering and his presentation of a speech entitled Charlottesville Changes Everything.

“We’re very happy and feel very positive that Hilton made the right decision. Morally and ethically, it was the right call,” said Omar Kinnarath, a local organizer with Fascist Free Treaty 1.

“It’s great and shows that community organizing and community pressure works. We did something together today, the hotel, anti-fascists and all the groups that have been involved in this whole thing.”

Kinnarath went on to thank hotel staff for their patience when fielding calls from concerned community members during the past two days. [In other words, an organized campaign to interfere with the free exchange of ideas.]

Following his arrival in the city Wednesday, Fromm characterized the Hilton’s decision to cancel his booking as a breach of contract. He added he’s “disappointed, but not surprised.”

Fromm said he’s been in contact with a lawyer and is considering legal action against the company.

Citing help from local supporters, Fromm said the presentation would go on as planned and some 20 people were expected to attend. He did not make clear if the meeting would take place at another hotel in the city.

During a press conference Wednesday, Winnipeg Mayor Brian Bowman denounced Fromm’s visit.

“Winnipeg and Winnipeggers are voicing their repulsion with the prospect of Mr. Fromm espousing his hate in the city of Winnipeg. I want to let those Winnipeggers that are expressing their repulsion know that I’m with them and I’d encourage them to continue to express their condemnation… in a lawful manner,” Bowman said.

“Certainly, I find the hate he is promoting in cities across Canada, and now purportedly in Winnipeg, unwelcome and repulsive, and the vast majority of Winnipeggers will share those views as well.” [What an ignoramus this mayor is, denouncing a speech that has not yet been delivered and which he obviously has not heard.]

Fromm is a former educator who was dismissed by the Ontario College of Teachers in the late 1990s for his association with neo-Nazi organizations, although he denounces the term “neo-Nazi” as a misnomer.

He identifies as a white nationalist activist, though he is generally viewed as a white supremacist, and used to host a radio show on the neo-Nazi and white supremacist website Stormfront. [I told the reporter Stormfront is not “neo-Nazi” and that the word is a smear. Note that he offers no evidence that I am “generally viewed as a White supremacist”. I emphatically told him I am NOT a supremacist and do not seek to dominate anyone. I want to preserve the place of the European founder/settler people of North America.]

and has long standing ties with some of North America’s most well-known Ku Klux Klan members, white supremacists and neo-Nazis, including David Duke, Don Andrews, Don Black and the late Ernst Zundel, among others.[An orgy of name calling. I told him that NONE of these men call themselves Nazis, noe- or otherwise. None considers himself a White supremacist and none is a member of the KKK.]

[Thorpe claims to have seen the video of this talk and, yet, you read the column and learn nothing about my views. You do read the weaponized words “neo-Nazi” and “White supremacist” which are vague but signal “bad guy”]
