FIRST READING: Another NDP bill threatens to jail Canadians for speech
Two years in jail for any Canadian caught ‘condoning, denying, downplaying or justifying’ Indian residential schools

For the third time in two years, a member of the NDP has introduced a private members’ bill
Last week, the House of Commons completed its first reading of Bill C-254, a private members’ bill introduced by the NDP’s Leah Gazan that would criminalize “residential school denialism.”
As the bill’s text states, any Canadian found to be “condoning, denying, downplaying or justifying the Indian residential school system” could be punished with up to two years in jail.

A judge would also be able to order the forfeiture of “anything by means of or in relation to” the speech offence.
“Since the discovery of unmarked graves (we have seen) an increase in denialism about what occurred in the residential schools. This is horrific,” said Gazan in a Friday statement on Parliament Hill.

This is the second time Gazan, the MP for Winnipeg Centre, has put forward a bill to jail who she’s called “residential school denialists.” She introduced an identical bill in the 44th Parliament.

Bill C-254 also comes just 16 months after a private member’s bill by the NDP’s Charlie Angus that proposed to jail Canadians for speaking well of fossil fuels.
The Fossil Fuel Advertising Act, which died on the order paper with the dissolution of Parliament in March, would have prescribed strict punishments for any Canadian caught in the act of “promoting” a “fossil fuel, a fossil fuel-related brand element or the production of a fossil fuel.”

If a normal citizen had been caught perpetrating such a promotion, the punishment could be as severe as a $500,000 fine. If done as a representative of an oil company, it would have prescribed a two-year jail term.
Gazan’s reintroduced bill comes just as an upstart B.C. political party, OneBC, is campaigning hard against the notion that the summer of 2021 had yielded a wave of previously undiscovered graves at the sites of former Indian residential schools.
“No graves in Kamloops. No genocide. No wrongs left to reconcile. No land, cash, or power grabs. No looking back,” read a social media post by OneBC leader Dallas Brodie responding to Bill C-254.
The “unmarked graves” phenomenon began in May 2021 when Tk’emlúps te Secwépemc First Nation in B.C. garnered international headlines by announcing that a ground-penetrating radar survey had found “the remains of 215 children” at the former site of the Kamloops Indian Residential School.

The statement would prompt then prime minister Justin Trudeau to lower the flags on federal buildings to half-mast for an unprecedented five months.
Four years later, none of the 215 have been confirmed as graves, and Tk’emlúps te Secwépemc is now referring to the 215 as “anomalies.”
In August, a poll by the Angus Reid Institute found that Canadians still generally believed that Indian residential schools constituted a form of “cultural genocide” against Canadian Indigenous people (68 per cent agree vs. 23 per cent disagree).
Nevertheless, that same poll found that both Indigenous and non-Indigenous respondents were doubtful that the 215 anomalies were actually children’s graves
A majority of Canadians (Indigenous respondents 56 per cent, all respondents 63 per cent) said Canada should “only accept the claim if further information is publicly available to verify through excavation.”

In 2021, Gazan twice referred to the 215 as lying in a “mass grave” — a claim that went beyond Tk’emlúps te Secwépemc’s initial statements, which had said simply that the 215 were unmarked burials.
Gazan changed this to “unmarked graves” in a June 1, 2021 House of Commons statement, and has not mentioned the alleged Kamloops Indian Residential School burials in her Parliamentary statements ever since.
Private members’ bills very seldom become law, and Bill C-254 does include multiple caveats under which a charge of “denialism” can be dismissed. Defences of Indian residential schools are allowed if it’s an “opinion based on a belief in a religious text” or if the accused is able to establish that “the statements communicated were true.”
The bill also specifies that Canadians are allowed to say whatever they want in “private conversation.”
Long before Tk’emlúps te Secwépemc ever commissioned a ground-penetrating radar survey at the Kamloops Indian Residential School, the seven-year-long Truth and Reconciliation Commission inquiry concluded that Canada’s system of Indian residential schools had featured outsized rates of student mortality, particularly in the pre-First World War era.

As per the Commission’s 2015 final report, an estimated 3,200 children had died while attending Indian residential schools, predominantly from outbreaks of tuberculosis. Many of those were buried in on-site graveyards that were subsequently abandoned.
Whatcott rejected by Alberta Human Rights Commission, Bike Edmonton, and even the occasional Christian, but accepted at Sean Feucht Concert
Dear Friends,
Yesterday was a profound day. I headed to Edmonton and went to the Sean Feucht revival at the legislature grounds in downtown Edmonton.
This picture above is my favourite picture that I took at the concert/revival.
Me with my sign. Behind me is Sean Feucht on the stage singing Gospel music and delivering his message of revival and standing for Christ in a sometimes hostile culture.
Towards the end of the revival a friend who I met at the concert took my sign to hold it up after I got tired and sat down.
Towards the end Sean Feucht lead a communion service. To my surprise he referred to Holy Communion as a sacrament, rather than merely an ordinance. On this point I agree with Sean Feucht. It is clear to me in Scripture that God instituted Holy Communion and it is more than merely an ordinance. Holy Communion has sacramental qualities.
“For I received from the Lord what I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus on the night when He was betrayed took bread, and when He had given thanks, He broke it, and said, “This is my body, which is for you. Do this in remembrance of me.”In the same way also He took the cup, after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me.” For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until He comes.
Whoever, therefore, eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty concerning the body and blood of the Lord. Let a person examine himself, then, and so eat of the bread and drink of the cup.For anyone who eats and drinks without discerning the body eats and drinks judgment on himself. ” 1 Corinthians 11:23-29
After communion there was an altar call. The altar experience for me was surreal. Notwithstanding my smile in the above pictures, this past week I have been going through some emotional pain. I don’t believe men should be overly emotional/feminine, crying over every slight or disappointment. I have had some big losses recently, but was keeping things together when I went forward. While not the theme, Sean Feucht did mention in passing that God heals rejection and I was pondering that in regards to my past week experiences while at the altar. While pondering and hurting over this week’s events, a man who was a friend of mine for years, but ghosted me 3 years ago after a family member of his and one of his friends took advantage of me for thousands of dollars. This man walked by me and after praying for someone beside me, decided to pray over me.
The combination of my recent pain and then having this guy lay his hands on me was too much. I broke down as the inner pain was too severe. I don’t think the fellow knew what to do. He hugged me for a moment and then said “God bless you” and quickly moved on. I didn’t feel like being a spectacle at the altar so I composed myself and headed back into the crowd. The attendance appeared to be at least a couple thousand people at the concert, so it was easy to blend in the crowd.
Anyways, I also got the news below this week. No surprise. Alberta’s bureaucracy is almost as badly effected with homosexual activism and anti-Christian antipathy as any other province. Daniel Smith supports homosexual marriage and homosexual rights. She is also more tolerant of Christians, as evidenced by her government’s refusal to cancel Sean Feucht. But bureacracies like the Alberta Human Rights Commission (AHRC) are operating much as they did under Rachel Notley’s NDP government and the agenda of the AHRC is no different than the agenda of the Ontario Human Rights Commission or the British Columbia Human Rights Commission.
Anyways, for those not familiar with the complaint here is the video of Bike Edmonton kicking me out of their store. This is about as discriminatory and fitting of what a Human Rights Commission would allegedly deal with as it gets.
As believers who follow Jesus and who are called to defend God’s definition of marriage and sexuality, I would encourage you to not be surprised or disheartened when you experience double standards and mistreatment. Even when it is one of your “conservative” government agencies doing it. Such was the case for those who followed Christ before us.
“Others suffered mocking and flogging, and even chains and imprisonment. They were stoned, they were sawn in two, they were killed with the sword. They went about in skins of sheep and goats, destitute, afflicted, mistreated—of whom the world was not worthy—wandering about in deserts and mountains, and in dens and caves of the earth.
And all these, though commended through their faith, did not receive what was promised, since God had provided something better for us, that apart from us they should not be made perfect.” Hebrews 11:36-40
Bill Whatcott’s Thoughts on the State of Religious and Political Freedom in Canada
Dear Friends,
Freedom has been in decline for awhile now in Canada. In 1994 I was arrested for standing on a public sidewalk in Toronto with a Life Chain sign that read “Abortion Kills Children.” The Ontario NDP Government of the time went to court and got an injunction to prevent Ontario’s pro-lifers from protesting in front of abortuaries, even we as taxpayers have to pay for them. I and many other pro-life citizens believed the injunction was unjust and an unjustified attack on free speech. I went into the no protest zone and stood on the public sidewalk and prayed while holding my sign to challenge the injunction. I didn’t obstruct, threaten, or accost anyone. A sheriff read me the injunction and a police officer put handcuffs on me and walked me to the back of a police car where I got in.
I couldn’t raise enough money to go to trial. The lawyer I got thought I would be looking at a $100 fine or so if I plead guilty, in line with anti-logging protesters who were arrested in BC that year who were blocking worksites and disobeying injuctions obtained by logging companies. Both me and my lawyer quickly learned that the treatment of Christian protesters defending the human rights of the unborn child would be very different than the treatment of left wing protesters protecting trees. The NDP saw my case as serious enough to merit sending a special prosecutor to ask for the maximum sentence allowable under law (6 months in jail). And a judge, aptly named Judge Mean, duly imposed the maximum sentence on me as requested by the provincial government’s special prosecutor.
Campaign Life put out a press release denouncing my sentence. My church organized a telephone campaign targeting the Attorney General’s office. A number of pro-life groups held demostrations in front of the Attorney General’s Office demanding I be released from jail. Two Christian media outlets covered my case and I got letters from across Canada and the United States as a result. However, the big media outlets CBC, Toronto Star, Toronto Sun, Global News, etc….., they all got the press releases and protest announcements and they all ignored the story.
That was 31 years ago…..
Alot has happened since then….
In 2013 the Whatcott Decision was rendered by the Supreme Court of Canada and for the first time ever, the court ruled that in hate speech cases litigated in a human rights tribunal that truth was not an absolute defence. Since then Whatcott has been cited in multiple cases, criminal, human rights and civil, and sadly the rulings in favour of restricting speech have been piling up.
In parallel with our loss of freedom of speech, the right to firearm ownership and the right for private citizens to protect their persons and private property has also been eroded over the years. In 2015 an Edmonton man named Robert Hinchey was convicted of careless use of a firearm. Mr. Hinchey received a criminal record, and had to forfeit his guns, after he fired a warning shot through the top right hand of his door in an attempt to scare off a large, young, drunk, who was screaming and trying to kick his door down. In the 911 call played in court Mr. Hinchey’s panicked wife could be heard begging the police to come quickly, saying her door was coming off the hinges as the screaming of the drunk and kicking could be heard in the background. Mr. Hinchey fired one warning shot and the drunk quit kicking. Apparently the drunk got a small cut on his forehead from a small piece of wood catching him as the bullet went through the top of the door. The drunk sat on the front step until the police arrived. The police arrested the home owner Robert Hinchey for discharging his firearm in defense of his home and set the drunk free who was screaming and kicking down Mr. Hinchey’s door.
In December 2023, Bill C-21 became law and the sale of handguns became banned in Canada. Since 1996 more than a thousand different types of long guns (mostly semi autos) have also been banned. I lost one gun that I purchased as a non-restricted .22 rifle. It was a 10 shot M-16 look alike called the Armi Jager. It was a cheap, Italian .22 rifle that was not actually that great. I kept it around for rabbits and plinking. One day the government declared it was a “military assault style” rifle and too dangerous for civilians to own. In actual fact after doing some research, I could not find one single instance of the Armi Jager .22 being used in a crime. But truth doesn’t matter and even though gun crime and all types of violent crime and property crime has gone up dramatically in Canada over the past ten years most Canadians are apathetic about the loss of their right to own legal firearms.
Canada’s erosion of freedom cannot be analyzed without considering the lockdowns of 2020-2022. For the first time in Canada’s history churches and small businesses were forcibly closed, people were coerced to take an experimental vaccine, and the negative side effects and reactions were hidden from the public, and the government forced people to wear masks in public.
Eventually the economic and emotional damage was such that large numbers of Canadians started questioning the “science.” It also became hard for Canadians to take Chief Public Health Officers seriously as they started wrecking their own credibility. Alberta’s Public Health Officer Dr. Deena Hinshaw was caught in a lie when she claimed during a press conference that a 14 year old girl died from Covid -19. Dr. Hinshaw and the media was trying hard to convince Albertans young people were dying from Covid -19 and that they needed to be vaccinated. In actual fact more children have been injured and have had their lives potentially shortened from vaccine induced myocarditis than from Covid-19, which has not taken the life of a single healthy child. The girl’s family went on Twitter and corrected the Chief Public Health Officer and stated their daughter died from Leukemia. Twitter deleted the parent’s comment, but not before it went viral and Hinshaw was forced to apologize.
In British Columbia, Chief Public Health Officer “Dr.” Bonnie Henry decided the “science” was you could go to the cannabis store and Starbucks safely, but you couldn’t go to church. Henry kept cannabis stores open for the entirity of the Covid pandemic as they were “essential.” Starbucks while not “essential” was allowed to reopen in the spring of 2020. Churches however were forced to remain closed until June 2021.
“Dr.” Henry also opined that in order to stay safe from Covid-19 when having sex, it was a good idea to do it using “glory holes.” “Glory holes” are a thing in some homosexual bars where homosexual men get a thrill by sticking their penis into a hole in a wall and then a person unkown to them on the other side services it. Bonnie thought this was a good idea for all BC residents and the media uncritically reported it, of course in the name of “science” and “public health.”
Trudeau’s Chief Public Health Officer, “Dr.” Theresa Tam; a possible, crossdressing, homosexual male, locked up Canadians returning from abroad in quarantine hotels for two week periods. He/she decided to do this after allowing thousands of Chinese citizens into the country without any testing or quarantine. Then one day he/she announced to the media it would be a good idea for couples to engage in sex while wearing masks to stay safe from the Covid virus. In addition to huge salaries, Tam and Henry were awarded the Order of Canada for their quackery and incompetence.
Strangely, churches, businesses, and millions of Canadians went along with this “science” for a long time, to great harm to themselves and their country. By the two year mark though, enough Canadians suffered sufficiently, and various politicians and chief public health officers discredited themselves enough that thousands of Canadians said no more and the Freedom Convoy rolled across Canada in early 2022. Dozens of Canadians were imprisoned in various provinces for defying the lockdowns and the Federal government violently crushed the peaceful protest in Ottawa , trampling an elderly indiginous woman using a police horse and thousands of Canadians across the country who donated to the Freedom Convoy had their bank accounts frozen.
Elderly Metis woman lying on ground in red jacket after being trampled by a mounted police offcer during a violent operation (the police were violent not the protesters) to end the Freedom Convoy protest in front of Parliament Hill, February 18, 2022
The draconian measures inflamed many Canadians even more and it was clear if the lockdowns and repression continued things were going to likely spiral out of control, so suddenly the “science” changed and the country opened up. Masking requirements and vaccine passports ended. Travel bans were lifted, businesses and churches opened up again and people could socialize freely. The predicted mass death from Covid-19 if things opened up didn’t happen.
The government backed down on the mass repression but they were determined to make examples of a few dissidents. Four protesters who were arrested at a blockade in Coutts Alberta were to remain in custody for two more years. Two of the protesters were eventually sentenced to 6.5 years after spending two years in pre-trial custody. The other two I think were released after time served. Apparently they brought some hunting rifles with them to the protest. They claimed their motive was to protect fellow protesters if things got violent. The Prosecutor claimed they were planning on killing police. The Coutts 4 were eventually were acquitted of conspiring to kill a police officer but convicted on illegal gun possession charges.
Trudeau became very unpopular and eventually left in early 2025 and Canadians in an act of “elbows up” and in a display of shallow, pseudo patriotism, elected Mark Carney, a globalist with deep ties to China’s communist party. Just like under Trudeau, car theives, muggers, fentanyl dealers, and sex offenders are being treated leniently, especially if they aren’t white. Political prisoners, if they are conservative and standing for freedom are also being treated the same as under Trudeau. The courts are merciless with those who protest and vocally oppose the Liberal agenda.
The organizers of the Freedom Convoy Chris Barber and Tamara Lich were both arrested as the Freedom Convoy was crushed and spent nearly two months in jail before being released on bail. After more than two years and a lengthy trial, Barber and Lich were found guilty of Mischief in April 2025. Typically, peaceful protesters in Canada receive no jail time for their first offense. Homosexual activist and NDP politician Svend Robinson received a $700 fine when he blocked a logging company’s road in BC back in the 1990s. In 2003 Svend decided to steal a $60,000 ring at an auction to give as a gift to his boyfriend. This offense got Svend copious praise from the sentencing judge for all his alleged good work, promoting homosexuality, euthanasia, hate crime laws, etc…. and Svend’s “sentence” for the $60,000 theft was an absolute discharge.
The Oka confrontation was a more violent affair than either Svend’s anti-logging crusade or the Barber’s and Lich’s Freedom Convoy. Native protesters killed one police officer, shot it out with the provincial police for over an hour, and then enaged in an armed stand-off with the Canadian army for more than two months. Bridges and roads were blockaded, rocks were sometimes thrown at police and soldiers. When the stand-off ended the most visible protester Ronald Cross (he was photographed staring face to face with a Canadian soldier and had a prohibited assault rifle slung over his back) was sentenced to six years in prison.
The Crown Prosecutor is asking for 8 years in prison for Chris Barber, along with the destruction of his truck which is his source of livelihood. The Crown is asking for 7 years in prison for Tamara Lich. Neither are accused of doing anything violent. Neither have criminal records. They have been found to be responsible for some of the truckers honking their horns at inappropriate hours during the first couple days of the protest, though Barber and Lich both encouraged truckers to keep horn honking to daylight hours and indeed all of the truckers complied with that request after they were asked to do so.
This past week an American Christian musician who happens to support Donald Trump (as does tens of millions of other Americans and for what it is worth a substantial minority of Canadians) by the name of Sean Feucht had all of his venues cancelled in Eastern Canada after the CBC did a hit piece on him and called him a “MAGA supporter.”
When a Spanish Evangelical church hosted Mr. Feucht in Montreal, after the Mayor of Montreal Valérie Plante condemned him for his political and religious views and ordered his venue be cancelled, both the police and Antifa showed up at the church. The police threatened the church with a fine if they didn’t cancel Mr. Feucht’s performance. The performance went ahead and the church was fined $2500. An Antifa thug threw two smoke bombs at Mr Feucht while he was singing. The police did nothing and a parishioner took the bombs off the stage and disposed of them outside.
The Montreal Mayor’s office released this statement as justification for cancelling Mr. Feucht’s performance. “This show runs counter to the values of inclusion, solidarity, and respect that are championed in Montreal. Freedom of expression is one of our fundamental values, but hateful and discriminatory speech is not acceptable in Montreal.”
The guy was singing Gospel music, not unlike the music that is sung at my church every Sunday morning. Mr. Feucht said nothing hateful or discriminatory of anyone. The actual hate and lack of respect was shown by the Antifa thug who threw smoke bombs at Mr Feucht, the police who witnessed the attack and refused to protect Mr. Feucht, and the Mayor who abused the power of her government by shutting down Mr. Feucht’s first venue and punishing the Spanish church for offering him an alternative venue.
The Canadian media and various Canadian politicians hate Sean Feucht and want to cancel him because he is opposed to LGBT ideology, is prolife, and he has publicly supported Donald Trump. It appears Mr. Feught has come to Canada on other occassions and he is on record as saying he loves Canada.
Contrast the visceral hatred shown towards a Christian singer with the “wrong” personal views and the hatred Canadians are displaying towards the American President, to the partiality of Canadian politicians on display in this venue below. The Chinese Benevelont Association hosted this event in February at the Terminal City Club in Vancouver. The Chinese Benevelont Association is connected to the Chinese Communist Party and is known to interfere in Canadian elections and silence negative messaging about the Chinese Communist Party amongst the Chinese diaspora in Vancouver.
This event was attended by Vancouver Mayor Ken Sim, NDP Burnaby Councillor James Wang and “Conservative” MLAs Steve Kooner and Dallas Brodie. They all join People’s Republic of China’s Deputy Consul General. Zeng Zhi in singing “March of the Volunteers” the Chinese Communist Party anthem. Neither the Mayor, nor any of the other politicians, nor any of the media present, is calling on the venue to cancel the event because of it’s ties to the Chinese Communist Party. The Deputy Consul General Zeng Zhi is not being denounced because he is singing the communist anthem nor is he being critciizing because he likes Chinese Communist Dictator Xi Jinping.
While it is true Trump imposed a 25% tariff on Canadian automobiles and our automobile sector is suffering, it is also true China imposed a 100% tariff on Canadian canola. While tariffs are nasty, I don’t think they are a crime. Countries have the right to impose tariffs if they wish. The Canadian government has chosen to keep tariffs to protect Canada’s dairy industry. Depending on the dairy product and its quota, our tariffs on American dairy products seem to be between 7.5% and up to 300%.
Trump’s other “crimes” seem to be calling Trudeau “governor” and saying Canada should be a 51st state.
China by contrast has taken two of our citizens Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor and held them hostage for three years in a Chinese prison though they committed no crimes. The Chinese have interfered in our elections. Chinese labs with apparent state sanction have flooded our streets with fentanyl, resulting in tens of thousands of deaths. Chinese government actors have stolen both Canadian state and private sector secrets and the Chinese are responsible for hacking into and stealing our former flagship industry Nortel’s data, duplicating our company’s technology, and then the Chinese Communist Party controlled company Huawei underbidded Nortel with its own products and drove our company into bankrupcy, costing Canada tens of thousands of good paying jobs and untold billions of dollars in revenue.
The Orangeman in the White House never did anything like the above to Canada. In fact shortly after BC Premier David Eby announced the BC government was buying 4 ferries from the Chinese and boycotting American shipyards, wine, and whatnot; a quintessentially Canadian terrorist by the name of Shaheer Cassim hijacked a small Cessna and flew it over the Vancouver International airport for a couple hours and shut down Vancouver’s airspace.
I say Cassim is “quintessentially Canadian” because where else except Canada would you find a terrorist like this? Here is an excerpt of his manifesto on Facebook:
“I am a messenger of Allah. I am the messiah sent to save humanity from climate change and usher in an era of world peace, …. The Arctic sea ice is going to disappear within two years. When that happens, huge amounts of methane are going to erupt from the Arctic Ocean, triggering abrupt runaway global warming, turning Earth into Venus.”
Anyways, as Cassim flew over the Vancouver International Airport (Canada’s third busiest airport) and shut it down, performing jihad in the name of saving the earth from climate change, Canada’s airforce was unable to respond. We had no fighter jets on the west coast. Our closest air assets on the day Mr. Cassim performed his climate jihad were located in Cold Lake AB, and they were a half dozen or so 40 year old CF-18s. These elderly fighters were over three hours away and it was determined they would need to refuel upon reaching British Columbia before they could engage the Cessna.
We had to call the Americans to save our third largest city from the Cessna flying jihadist trying to bring awareness to climate change. The Americans scrambled two F-15s to liberate our airspace, but thankfully Mr. Cassim decided he made his point and peacefully landed his commandeered airplane, freeing his flight instructor unharmed, and peacefully gave himself up.
Canadians should note it was the Americans who scambled jets to save us not the Chinese. We should also note we allowed our own airforce to become so pathetic that we were literally unable to save our third largest city from a Cessna.
Our media and leftist politicians in all three levels of governments are complicit in our erosion of freedom; they seem irrationally hostile to the western, Christian, democratic tradition we as a nation have been founded on. This hostility motivates them to move us as a nation away from America’s orbit and towards the Chinese orbit. This is not in Canada’s best interest and for ordinary Canadians to tolerate it, it will be a huge mistake. I pray we Canadians awaken from our apathy and mind numbness and prevent this shift in orbit from happening. If we can’t or won’t wake up, then I pray the Americans themselves prevent us from going further towards Beijing.
If you read this far, I would like to remind you of another freedom issue that is near and dear to my heart. Namely, my own. I have a court case coming up with 5 days of hearings in October and three weeks of trial in March, 2026. The Prosecutor is asking for 6 months to a year in prison if I am convicted. My “crime” is sharing the Gospel and accurate health information while disguised as a “Gay Zombie Cannabis Consumer” at the Toronto Homosexual Pride parade in 2016. You can find out more on the link below and donate if you wish to help me out with the expenses related to this ridiculous prosecution that are imposed on me and my family.
It has come to the attention of Manitobans that a special hate crime working unit has been commissioned to undertake investigating “hate” within the province. See Manitoba News Bulletin text down below.
It will be interesting to observe what transpires from and replicated within Manitoba concerning this new and trendy initiative that other jurisdictions elsewhere have adopted. Maybe Manitoba will be a novel first in discovering the whole range of behaviors that may be considered hate. Will this pogrom also consider prosecuting individuals for maybe, possibly, thinking what the government thinks they are thinking?
The process for arriving at what constitutes “hate”.
Who gets to decide what constitutes “hate”? Special interest groups funded by the government whose claims would not have been thoroughly vetted for accuracy, similar to a previous government funded special interest group from the last 40 years? Will special interest groups influence government to examine only what they believe would be considered “hate”, and cancel any attempt at identifying other sources of “hate”?
Will the government of Manitoba investigate the lounge at the University of Winnipeg that excludes white people? Or will the government claim that alleged past grievances – not thoroughly vetted for accuracy – should trump the present and be a deciding factor in allowing this particular brand of hate at the U of W to continue?
Another example of hate in some Manitoba schools, and some in Winnipeg. See graphic below. It is currently considered a joke among individuals influenced by a long-standing government funded special interest group not vetted for accuracy.
Here it is: “Boys Are Stupid. Throw Rocks At Them”
An image above was displayed on bulletin boards in a Winnipeg school. This is considered proper? “Equality” groups from the past have over time influenced the acceptance of what you see above. Since when does “equality” mean disparaging half the school and other populations? Equality was originally meant as “Equality before the law”. Will the 40 year government funded special interest group be investigated for their hate? Or will the personnel in a WINNIPEG school be under investigation for promoting hate? Or retroactively holding Winnipeg organizers of Black Lives Matter responsible for inciting hated?
You think this attitude from the image above is fitting for your boys? Or are you requiring or asking 6 to 12 year old boys in elementary school to “man up” by accepting this ridiculous attempt at “equality”, or humour. If so, what the hell is the matter with you? The following would likely never have occurred in the schools of western culture if the sexes were reversed – “Girls are stupid. Throw rocks at them”. This is yet another example of what occurs in the real world when special interest group claims are not vetted for their veracity – one in particular for the last 40 years costing Canadians billions of dollars, and forced upon us by government. You two are OK with this as well?
We do not need another special grievance or special interest group to decide the fate of what constitutes proper thought or behavior, considering their own thought and behavior may be in more need of examination.
Not counting on a reply from the NDP administration regarding this letter – if it isn’t trashed before arriving in your inbox.
I guess if you are a Christian and disagree with abortion and homosexuality, you aren’t allowed to fix a bike for your step son’s Christmas at Bike Edmonton. The video on this link below shows me getting kicked out of Bike Edmonton earlier tonight.
I went to Bike Edmonton two weeks ago to work on my son’s bike for his Christmas gift and I must say my first visit was a positive experience. Yes, I noticed the UnGodly Pride sticker on the wall at their front desk and no doubt I don’t share Bike Edmonton’s views when it comes to CO2 admissions causing the end of civilization. Still, I liked the mechanic I worked with and was happy to purchase my bike brakes and derailleur there. Indeed, I even purchased a membership. Not to affirm homosexuality or the NDP. I purchased the membership to affirm their initial great customer service and what I thought was Bike Edmonton’s commitment to provide cycling support to everyone who came to their shop.
My next visit was not so positive. I made an appointment to work on my son’s shifters and drove 2 hours to attend their shop. When I got to Edmonton I was surprised to find out my appointment was cancelled. Seeing as I was already in Edmonton, I went to Bike Edmonton’s downtown shop (10612 105 Ave) to find out why my appointment was cancelled.
The video of my conversation with Bike Edmonton’s manager, Alex Hindle, he/him, and his e-mail sent to me when I was in route (copied below) shows how Bike Edmonton treats Edmontonions who are openly Christian, pro-life, and who do not agree with the homosexual/transgender political agenda.
In Christ’s Service, Bill Whatcott
Alex Hindle’s e-mail to Bill Whatcott, December 4, 2024
————————————————————
Hi William,
I have reason to believe you are the same William Whatcott who has long campaigned publicly against homosexuality and abortion, among other issues. While Bike Edmonton works to make cycling accessible, we cannot countenance the views you have publicly promoted and will not allow you to enter or use our community bike shop (10612-105 Avenue, Edmonton, Alberta) going forward. You are arguably a public figure and your presence in our shop, which is located in the same building as the Edmonton Pride Centre, may adversely affect our reputation.
I have cancelled your appointment for this evening. I understand that you recently bought a Bike Edmonton membership and can cancel and refund this if you like.

Progressives who want to criminalize discussion of residential schools are embarrassing Canada

Once again, commentators in friendly countries throughout the western world are expressing sincere alarm over whether Canada has succumbed to terminal wokeness and is voluntarily and by force of law strangling free speech and ceasing to be, by traditional definition, a free country. Leah Gazan, a Manitoba New Democratic MP, who has been a tireless propagator of the defamatory fraud that French and English Canadians attempted to perform an act of genocide against Canada’s indigenous people, is at it again. Her private member’s bill, supported by the NDP, proposes to make it a crime to question, dispute, minimize or justify the activities of the so-called Indian residential schools which she continues falsely to represent as a genocidal enterprise.
No one disputes that there were many tragic and frightful occurrences in the schools, but there is no doubt that the purpose and intent of them was to assist native children in escaping poverty and illiteracy and giving them a route to a normal and prosperous life. Nor is there any dispute that can withstand even cursory scrutiny that many of the approximately 150,000 students in those schools did in fact go on to much more successful lives than they might have led without having attended them. The Truth and Reconciliation Commission resisted with evident reluctance the rampaging temptation to try to swaddle this macabre fable in the winding sheet of genocide, but it did come to a number of conclusions that were not justified by the large volumes of accompanying documentation and the report has effectively failed as a basis of reconciliation.
There is a general consensus among thoughtful Canadians that as a society we have not adequately addressed the needs, and rightful ambitions and grievances of Indigenous communities. This has not been for many years a question of inadequate funding. Tens of billions of dollars have been poured into a cornucopia of programs designed to compensate and durably improve the lives of Indigenous communities. The residential schools themselves began contemporaneously with legislation seeking to assure that all children in Canada were educated, and the indigenous populations were so dispersed that it was fiscally impractical to build the number of day-schools that would have been required to educate large numbers of them. Tuberculosis was a widespread problem in society and not just in native communities in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, even amongst prosperous families. Schools in general, including elite boarding schools, had an excessive amount of corporal punishment in that era and there was undoubtedly, in almost all western countries, inadequate monitoring of the deviant and even sadistic behaviour of some teachers.
The commitment, by Canadian governments and churches of $7 billion of reparations for claimed victims of the residential schools is excessive and if these awards and concessions had been coordinated properly, they would have been conditional on the native victimhood industry ceasing to press on what has been an open door of Canadian majority guilt while steadily escalating its outrageous demands. The former minister of justice of Canada, Jody Wilson-Raybould, went so far as to order that no claims made by native individuals or organizations against the government of Canada should be litigated: they should instead be settled by negotiation. Canada is not and has never been a uniquely deliberately or systematically unjust jurisdiction. But in these matters it has consistently been a stupid jurisdiction, and remains so.
The respected Americas commentator of the Wall Street Journal, Mary Anastasia O’Grady, recently wrote, as a number of Canadians have, (including me), that the unmarked graves scandal, after more than three years, has yet to be supported with one scintilla of probative evidence. If Canada is to be taken seriously in the world or even by itself, it must arm itself with the self-respect to investigate such controversies promptly and thoroughly, to redress matters fully and generously when that is appropriate, and to revise or debunk the allegations when that is justified. As I have written here and elsewhere before, our own government is complicit in blood libels against the founding European nations of this country. That is not the purpose of government.

Given that our entire society has effectively capitulated to ever more extreme complaints, who seem to be cranking up to claim the estimated 200,000 mostly nomadic Indigenous people who roamed around the 3,800,000 square miles of what is now Canada when the Europeans arrived 500 years ago, were invaded and occupied in a manner legally indistinguishable from the conquest of Poland by Hitler and Stalin in 1939. What is needed is a comprehensive assessment of the past and plan of action for the future, worked out by impartial and altruistic people in intimate discussion and agreement with a representative group of Canada’s many extremely talented and successful native people.
Illustrative of the sort of semi-formalized misinformation and cant and emotionalism that obstructs serious discussion of these matters was an email sent to the eminent writer and journalist Robert MacBain (and shared with me), whose most recent book was on the tragic death of the young native boy Charlie Wenjack, from the fund that has been established in the boy’s honour. The email claimed that Charlie was “taken from his family at nine years old and forced to attend” the residential school at Kenora, Ontario; that he “had run away from the school to reunite with his family 600 km away,” and “succumbed to starvation and exposure,” and that his death “became the first to spark a formal investigation into the treatment of indigenous children in residential schools.”
Article content
It claimed that the school changed the boy’s name from Chainie to Charlie, and has given mass circulation to drawings of Catholic nuns delousing Charlie and other Ojibway boys. It is clearly alleged that Charlie was sexually abused by the school staff. All of these assertions are false, as Robert MacBain meticulously demonstrated, Charlie attended a Presbyterian school, not a Catholic school with nuns, and there is incontrovertible evidence that all these claims are bunk. Clergy are caricatured as hideous and brutal people, and perhaps a few of them were, but the Kenora school has many positive and grateful alumni.
Until we demand and elicit the truth about all these issues, we will have no defence against the self-defamation of our country and its history and no adequate response to the Indigenous people who have so long awaited one. Canada is becoming a laughing stock in the world. This entire issue goes to the heart and moral core of this country and it has to be faced and resolved, and not by repealing free speech and criminalizing legitimate discussion of it.
[Sadly, even the good guys are weak. The B.C. Conservative Party grew out of the restrictions of the former provincial Liberals now the BC United Party. Well, divergent thinking has big limits even with these supposed freedom fighters. They nominated COVID craziness critic Dr. Stephen Malthouse, but, as soon as the media hyenas and the high priests of conformity started squawking, they dropped him. He’s much more understanding than we’d be. — Paul Fromm]
BC Doctor Blames Media and ‘Cancel Culture’ for Provincial Conservatives’ Cutting His Candidacy
Cancelled B.C. Conservative Party candidate Stephen Malthouse is blaming the prevalent “cancel culture” amplified by the media for his party’s decision to cut ties with him just hours after announcing his candidacy.
The Denman Island doctor, whose licence was suspended in 2022 for signing mask and vaccine exemptions, said he bears no ill will toward the Conservatives. Instead he is pointing the finger at political rivals and the negative press he received within hours of the Conservative Party of British Columbia announcing his candidacy March 27.
“The media has been weaponized by the current government and they will attack anyone that is challenging them,” Dr. Malthouse said in an exclusive interview with The Epoch Times. “And that is why there was such a vicious attack on me and the party.”
Multiple media outlets and social media users criticized the party for endorsing a candidate that they alleged had spread “misinformation” about the COVID-19 vaccine both during and after the pandemic.
“The reaction from the media was such that I think it made [the party] decide I was too much of a distraction from the policies that they wanted to move forward,” Dr. Malthouse said.
“I know the optics of what’s happened in the last few days … is that of cancel culture. There is an element of that. But I think what [leader] John Rustad has done is he’s tried to make the best decision possible for the party.”

The B.C. Conservative Party announced Dr. Malthouse’s candidacy on its website and social media accounts, describing him as a “seasoned family physician” who would be running in the Ladysmith-Oceanside riding. By that evening, all posts related to him had been deleted.
Party president Aisha Estey announced in a March 28 social media post that Dr. Malthouse was no longer a candidate, offering no other explanation than what was in a media statement.
“We are a new party, we have grown at a record pace, but some mistakes are bound to happen,” Ms. Estey said in the statement.
“Unfortunately, we nominated a couple of candidates who ultimately weren’t the right fit for our team. We wish them all the best, and we thank them for putting their name forward.”
Dr. Malthouse says he is disappointed to have been asked to step down, but he understands the party’s reasons.
“My history of speaking out, particularly on the COVID issue” might have caused “confusion about what the party stood for,” he said.
“I was too far out, perhaps, for the majority of voters to understand and to make an informed decision about who to vote for.”
The Epoch Times contacted both the B.C. Conservative Party and the province’s governing NDP for comment but did not receive a reply by publication.
Party Revival in Response to Past Ousters
The B.C. Conservative Party’s revival started after executives of BC United blocked conservative commentator Aaron Gunn’s bid for leadership of the party in the fall of 2021.
Mr. Gunn was attacked by the NDP for expressing views such as denying that Canada has “systemic racism” or is guilty of genocide. He then decided to rebrand the provincial Conservative Party.
In December 2023, Mr. Gunn was nominated as a candidate by the Conservative Party of Canada, running for the North Island-Powell River riding in the next federal election.
The B.C. Conservatives got a boost when then-independent MLA John Rustad crossed the floor to join the Conservatives in February 2023.
Mr. Rustad was kicked out of the B.C. Liberal caucus in 2022 for his views on climate change. He was scolded by B.C. Liberal leader Kevin Falcon for speaking out on behalf of the caucus, saying “politics is a team sport.” The B.C. Liberals have been renamed as BC United since April 2023.
The reprimand and subsequent ousting from the party came after Mr. Rustad reposted a tweet by Greenpeace co-founder Patrick Moore.
Mr. Rustad was acclaimed leader of the Conservatives last March.

Vaccine and Mask Exemptions
Dr. Malthouse, whose family practice has spanned more than four decades, became known during the pandemic for speaking against COVID-19 mandates in the media and for writing vaccine and mask exemptions for patients.
His decision to go against public health orders has cost him dearly. He is currently being investigated by the College of Physicians and Surgeons of B.C. and his licence was suspended in March of 2022 after being a member of the regulatory body since 1978. The college accused Dr. Malthouse of signing vaccine and mask exemption forms “that he knew included false statements.”
He said his decision to write exemptions was based on his belief as a doctor that all patients deserve the “autonomy” to decide what is best for their own health.
“Masks have been shown in high-quality studies to not prevent transmission of a virus but to increase Co2 levels and reduce oxygen levels and to actually make a Petri dish of bacteria and fungi” against the face, Dr. Malthouse said.
“If someone told me they don’t want to wear a mask … which fit with the science in terms of its safety and efficacy, I would give them an exemption. I felt that there was no choice.”
He had similar sentiments about people being forced to take a vaccine to preserve their livelihood.
“People were being forced against their will to take an experimental vaccine without being informed about its pros and cons,” he said.
“I felt anyone who did not want to take that vaccine had a right not to take it and I was going to help them to protect themselves and their children to the best of my ability. That’s what doctors do.”
Doctors on Tour
The college has also reprimanded Dr. Malthouse for speaking out against the vaccine.
The public notification for his suspension said he “stated medical conclusions absent any objective medical evidence, and provided diagnoses and courses of action potentially harmful to patients; and used his status as a registrant of the college to attempt to circumvent public health orders.”
At least part of the reprimand is linked to Doctors on Tour, an initiative Dr. Malthouse spearheaded with other like-minded doctors in 2021 to get the word out about “the dangers” of the COVID-19 vaccine.
He said his decision to spearhead the tour wasn’t to build his reputation—“it actually had the opposite effect.” He said he and his colleagues were “desperate” to get started because the government was introducing COVID-19 vaccinations for children.
Among the most serious results, he said, were incidents of young people dropping dead on sports fields from myocarditis.
“That’s what we went out to tell people about,” he said. “We felt it had to be done, and as doctors we were well placed to do that. We know how to read the research and how to understand it, and we know how to communicate with patients and with the general populace.”
With more than 45 years of medical experience, he has long had an interest in integrative medicine, an approach to health care that focuses on natural remedies, good nutrition, exercise, and overall wellness.
Part of the message he hoped to deliver was that traditional medicine, in this case a vaccine, wasn’t the answer.
The Doctors on Tour initiative consisted of six visits across three provinces, with the majority of stops in B.C. Meetings were typically held in small-town churches or similar venues, although there were stops in cities like Vancouver and Victoria as well.
Dubbed the “Educate Before You Vaccinate” tour, the stops drew large crowds despite public health orders to social distance and limit gathering sizes, he said, describing attendees as “desperate” for information that wasn’t being filtered through “mainstream media” and politicians.
The first tour was such a success that the doctors followed up with a second called Justice for the Vaccinated to help those dealing with vaccine injuries.
“There were some people that had six people in their family die,” Dr. Malthouse said. “People would come onto the stage and they would start crying and telling their story. And so we tried to give people a voice to speak out to let people know they were not crazy—which is what their doctors were telling them.”
Looking to the Future
As for Dr. Malthouse’s disciplinary hearing, the College of Physicians and Surgeons of B.C. tells him its investigation is still ongoing and has postponed the hearing until later this year.
The college declined to comment other than to say that Dr. Malthouse “continues to be suspended from practice.”
Whether his licence is reinstated or not, the fleeting political candidate plans to be active in BC Town Halls 2024, a non-partisan initiative to inform British Columbians about provincial legislation that “violates” their rights.
Health care is just one of the issues discussed at the town halls, but it is a topic that Dr. Malthouse is especially passionate about.
“More than a million citizens here do not have a family doctor, and walk-in clinics are closing,” he said. “Emergency departments are closing, maternity wards are closing, and people can’t get an ambulance. They’re being sent down to the United States for cancer care. Our health-care system is under attack.”
Dr. Malthouse said he will continue to back the party that dropped him and remains open to serving as a health-care adviser as needed.
He applauds the B.C. Conservative Party for its tough stance on safer supply drugs and removing SOGI from schools, as well as its commitment to rehire health care workers who were fired for refusing the vaccine.
“I still think this party has a chance to save this province, because right now it’s being driven into the dirt.” [THE EPOCH TIMES, April 3, 2024]
If the Trudeau-NDP’s Bill C-59 comes into force, I may be the first one prosecuted because I won’t stop telling the truth about the many benefits of Alberta’s oil and gas industry, no matter what crazy laws they pass.
If you haven’t already heard, let me give you some background.
In February, NDP MP Charlie Angus introduced a bill threatening fines and even jail time for people who dared to defend our oil and gas sector. Canadians laughed it off as absurd. But now, through last-minute amendments to Bill C-59, the NDP have sneaked their gag order in through the back door.
With support from the Liberals and Bloc, the Trudeau-NDP are creating an echo chamber where their anti-oil and gas views go unchallenged. This bill is designed to silence people from speaking the truth, allowing eco-radical activists to sue over so-called “misleading environmental benefits.”
It’s utterly ridiculous to muzzle folks who talk publicly about emission reduction alternatives that differ from Steven Guilbeault’s failed carbon tax. The bill has already passed in the House of Commons and is now in the Liberal-dominated Senate, where it is expected to be rubber-stamped.
Let me be clear: Alberta will not comply with this undemocratic Liberal-NDP gag order.
I have not forgotten the insult visited on us at the riot at the Legislature. A mob of urban terrorist counter-protesters ruined the gathering at which speakers were informing the public about the IN-sanity of the SOGI program.
The head of the Criminal justice Branch ignored my letters. Then when I laid criminal charges myself, the Deputy Attorney General stayed my private Information. By no means is this over. I am now preparing for Judicial Review of that ‘stay’. This message is sent to the 30 + people I know, who were there that day, outraged as I was … and still am … by what we experienced. I am gathering witness statements to put in front of a Judge
On February 21st 2024, I went in to the Provincial Court at Victoria and submitted a private Information. The 5 counts are spelled-out below. Justice of the Peace P Braz endorsed my complaint. He then asked me to provide more information for the Crown Counsel. I came back a day later and handed in the 3 letters which I had previously sent to Deputy Attorney General Peter Juk, head of the Prosecution Service. The letters recited the facts, including the transcript of the ZOOM call in which leaders of the labour unions in Canada declared they would DISRUPT DISTURB DEMORALIZE rallies planned by the #1 Million March 4 Children. That transcript is hard evidence of criminal conspiracy to commit indictable offences. Mr Juk never replied.
JP Braz set down the matter to be heard in Court April 17th 2024 to fix a date for the next stage in the process.
After an Information is laId, the Informant appears before that Justice of the Peace, or, a judge of the Provincial Court, for a Process hearing in camera. Meaning : closed to the public. After hearing the complainant and his witnesses, the judge decides if a case has been made out sufficient for it to go ahead to trial. If so, he or she directs the Registrar to put the matter on the Court List.
Over the last 40 years, I have laid a couple dozen private Informations. Out of them, 4 times my complaint did go for a full hearing. A few of them proceeded to trials, out of which came a couple of convictions.
I have been through more than a couple of Process hearings So I know how it goes. Or, how it’s supposed to go. On February 29th 2024 Kimberley Henders Miller Deputy Regional Crown Counsel notified me that she had directed my charges to be ‘stayed’.
the Judicial Review tells the court that I have been denied my right to due process of law. As well, that the Criminal Justice Branch cannot treat this matter fairly because of perceived conflict of interest :ie. that the Prosecution Service is fully entrained in the mind-set of the administration of the day ( the NDP government ) which assumes the mental illness of A-pot-em-no-philia is ‘normal’. So that those of us who assert our political and /or religious opinion out loud, are breaching the Civil Rights Code. Result being : the government agency which ought to prosecute those who carried on a criminal conspiracy to “DISRUPT DESTROY DEMORALIZE” ( as they boasted in their ZOOM call, 2 weeks in advance of the riot ) instead, protects the offenders from accountability at law in order to save the government from embarrassment.
I am asking those of you who were profoundly offended by the riot to prepare a written statement of what you recall happened on the lawn of the Legislature, on September 20th 2023. Your statement can be as long as you like. Then get it to me. It will form part of the Materials to be relied upon in my Petition for Judicial Review.
I am not a lawyer. I do not pretend to be a lawyer. I do not take $$s for legal advice. Feel free to contact me to help you put together a “will say” statement. If you want to, your witness statement can be made in to an Affidavit, then, sworn at the Registry counter for $40. Photographs and/or significant items/ documents can be attached to it as Exhibits in order to get them in as evidence.
What I want is, for a Justice of the Supreme Court to hear me out in a proper Process Hearing. Especially, for witnesses to each take the stand to corroborate my charges. At that stage, the thing is public. Publicity is the soul of Justice
