Former Political Prisoner Brad Love Harassed Again & Arrested by RCMP
FORT MCMURRAY. Brad Love is back in jail, specifically at the Edmonton Remand Centre.The former political prisoner is a victim of ongoing RCMP harassment. On May 13, still half dressed Brad Love answered urgent knocking on his door in Fort McMurray. On identifying himself, the police told Mr..Love he was under arrest and snapped the handcuffs on. He asked if he could retrieve his pants. He was told no.
The charge? Apparently, breach of probation. Why? It was alleged that he had been seen standing on someone’s property and using a stick to hit a surveillance camera.Mr. Love forcefully denied the charges, saying he had bus transfers showing he was nowhere near the site of the alleged strange behaviour. The police ignored him. He was taken to the local RCMP station and held overnight in a holding cell. He slept of the floor without a blanket. The next day, he was moved to a regular cell and held for four days, denied a shower or tooth brush.
At a video bail hearing, Mr. Love says the police lied stating he told them: “I live to fuck with the Canadian government.” That was enough for the JP. Mr. Love was denied bail. Firstly, Mr. Love denies saying any such thing. Even if he had, vulgar as the sentiment might be, it’s non-violent, an expression of opinion. Mr. Love has no history of skipping court appearances.
After the five hour trip to the Edmonton Remand Centre, Mr. Love and several other prisoners, a dozen in total, were told there was no room for them. They were kept overnight in a crowded holding area. Mr. Love has now retained a lawyer to seek bail.’
Over 20 years ago Mr. Love was charged under Canada’s notorious “hate” law for sending strongly worded letters to a number of MPs critical of Canada’s immigration system. He was sentenced to 18 months. He should never have been charged as the letters were private communications to which the “hate law” does not apply.
Petty violations of parole conditions after his release resulted in many more months in prison over the next decade. Fort McMurray is awash in drugs. Drunken Indians frequently litter the sidewalks. Indians, many Third World newcomers, and White drug addicts don’t pay fares on the buses. The RCMP turns a blind eye.Violent gunmen, villains who stab others and other violent miscreants frequently are granted bail in Canada’s deeplyu corrupt and politicized judicial system. but Mr. Love, accused of minor non-violent strange behaviour, is kept in prison.
In Canada, violent behaviour that harms others is treated leniently, but people with “bad ideas” are treated harshly. Sounds like the old Soviet Union.

In one of Canada’s worst mass shootings to date, 18-year-old Jesse Strang on Tuesday killed eight people and injured more than 25 others before turning his gun on himself. Yet anyone getting his news from the mainstream Canadian media would think the killer was a woman with a different last name.
Why?
Because Strang identified as transgender, and in Canada, no respectable media outlet would dare call his self-selected identity into question — let alone give aid and comfort to “transphobes.” They would, however, use the tragedy to call for stricter gun laws.
They Always Get Their Woman
Strang, who began “transitioning” to female six years ago, first killed his mother and his 11-year-old stepbrother at home, then went to Tumbler Ridge Secondary School and murdered a teacher and five students, after which he committed suicide.
This would be a shocker anywhere, but in a British Columbia town of 2,400, it was devastating.
The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) responded to the shooting, issuing an active-shooter alert describing the suspect as “female in a dress” and charging into the school to stop the killing. Afterward, by which time they had to have known Strang was a man, the Mounties didn’t correct the record; instead, they referred to him as a “gunperson.”
European Conservative columnist Jonathon Van Maren wrote:
The term has never before been used in an official capacity, and it instantly made headlines in The Sun, The New York Post, Sky News, GB News, and elsewhere. When asked, an RCMP spokesperson stated, “We identify the suspect as they chose to be identified in public and in social media.”
When the RCMP finally identified the shooter — nearly 24 hours after the incident — they referred to him as “Jesse Van Rootselaar” and continued to obfuscate about his sex.
The Canadian press dutifully reported the official findings. “The CBC, the Toronto Star, the Vancouver Sun, CTV, Global News, the Globe and Mail, the Winnipeg Free Press, the Ottawa Citizen, the Montreal Gazette, and others all referred to the shooter as female” and as “Jesse Van Rootselaar,” Van Maren noted on LifeSiteNews.
Relative Truth
The truth, however, was waiting to be found. It just took journalists who didn’t subscribe to the woke religion to uncover it.
Juno News, for example, contacted the shooter’s father and maternal uncle, both of whom confirmed that his last name was Strang. His father, Justin Van Rootselaar, who was estranged from Strang’s mother, said in a statement, “[He] had a passport and the name on it is not Van Rootselaar.”
Van Rootselaar obviously sent the same statement to the CBC, But, rather than simply report it, the government broadcaster felt the need to “correct” him and to assert its own pro-trans bona fides:
In his statement, Justin VanRootselaar refers to his child as Jesse Strang and uses he/him pronouns to describe her. According to police, Jesse Van Rootselaar was assigned male at birth and began transitioning to female about six years ago.
The cops’ admission that Strang was born — and therefore always — male only came about “in response to reporters’ questions,” penned The Spectator’sJane Stannus.
The Telegraph reported Friday that a witness claims Strang may have gone to the school with the intention of finishing off the rest of his family. The paper further wrote:
Police confirmed there was a “history of police attendance at the family residence,” some relating to mental health and others relating to firearms incidents.
He [Strang] was apprehended and taken for a health assessment more than once, but the last contact he had with police was last year. His gun license had expired in 2024 and he had no registered guns.
Mental Gymnastics
By referring to the shooter as Jesse Van Rootselaar, the authorities and their friends in the media may have hoped to forestall further investigation into his background. Stannus pointed out that his real last name “connected him and his mother to pro-trans social media posts,” including ones “in which he mentioned spending time in mental hospital, taking antidepressants, trying out psychedelic drugs, and awaiting hormone therapy.”
The public is lied to in an attempt to force us to avert our eyes.
Yet when journalists knowingly discard biological reality and gloss over the link to mental health, they don’t just mislead readers; they actively interfere with our ability to understand reality, and therefore, assess danger.
For years, the public has been told that identifying as the opposite sex is simply another harmless expression of one’s self-identity.
Questioning it is dangerous, cruel — “bigotry.” Exploring whether transgender identity may signal deeper psychological distress is forbidden….
That dogma has consequences, as another community has learned the hard way.
In this regard, things are much worse in Canada than in the United States. There, by law, everyone must “affirm” a “trans” kid’s chosen gender. Trying to help the child overcome his gender confusion — even at the youngster’s request — is strictly prohibited. Good luck dealing with the kid’s probable other mental conditions under such a regime, even if those conditions could lead to murder.
As Stannus put it:
It just doesn’t seem right. Nine people, including 12- and 13-year-old children, have died. Many others are injured. Families are living through shock, loss and anguish. And instead of finding answers, the authorities are busy making sure transgender ideology isn’t tarnished by association. Are they sure they’ve got their priorities straight
Canadian mass shooting shows it’s high time for news outlets to stop bending the knee to transgender orthodoxy
Published on
It is a journalist’s duty to report the truth, yet so many news outlets covered themselves in shame by bowing and scraping to honour the “transgender identity” of the man who carried out of the deadliest mass shootings in Canadian history.
Jesse Van Rootselaar, 18, was born a man and he died a man. He spent his last day on Earth killing his 39-year-old mother, his 11-year-old stepbrother, a 39-year-old teacher, three 12-year-old girls, and two boys, 12 and 13, before taking the coward’s way out and turning the gun on himself. He reportedly wounded about 25 others at Tumbler Ridge Secondary School and critically injured two more.
Initial reports on the shooting described Van Rootselaar as appearing female, but the Royal Canadian Mounted Police erased all doubt Wednesday at a press conference.
“I can say that Jesse was born as a biological male who approximately six years ago began to transition to female and identified as female, both socially and publicly,” Deputy Commissioner Dwayne McDonald said.
I understand the impulse to treat people with respect when they claim to identify as the gender opposite their sex. Many consider it common courtesy to refer to a person by preferred pronouns, rather than insisting on biological truth. In some circles, it is a faux pas — if not sacrilege — to state the naked truth that a man is still a man, regardless of what gender he claims to adopt.
But, if ever there were a situation where common courtesy need not apply, it would be here.
Do you really want to extend “common courtesy” to a school shooter? Do you really want to say, “I know he slaughtered children, and his own mother, but we’ve got to be nice and call him a girl, now”?
For crying out loud, let’s stop this insane charade.
The vast majority of mass shooters are male, so the initial news reports that the shooter was a woman immediately invited skepticism.
When the RCMP’s update clarified that the shooter was really a man dressed up as a woman, every journalist following the story learned the truth. There is no excuse, at that point, for calling the shooter a woman or using female pronouns for him.
Yet, outlet after outlet did it.
News outlets gaslight readers
CNN “reported” that “the suspect is an 18-year-old woman.” The very next sentence? “She was born biologically male and transitioned about six years ago, police said.” CNN also referred to the shooter as “an 18-year-old female resident of the town.”
The New York Times used female pronouns for the shooter, stating that “she killed her mother and stepbrother before fatally shooting several others, and later herself.”
The Associated Press merely referred to the shooter using female pronouns, without even disclosing to readers that police identified him as male.
Reuters’s headline ran, “Canadian police identify 18-year-old woman as suspect in mass school shooting.” Reuters did acknowledge that the shooter had been “born male,” but not until the 11th paragraph, and only after describing Van Rootselaar as a “woman” and using female pronouns for him throughout.
USA Today acknowledged the transgender identity in the second paragraph of the story, but still used female pronouns for the shooter throughout.
Why the pervasive bias in favor of the shooter’s ‘identity’?
Why did news outlets do this?
First, McDonald, the deputy commissioner, set the stage for it by saying that police would refer to the shooter as a woman because the shooter had presented himself that way. Apparently, accuracy about biological sex takes a backseat to political correctness, even when it means honoring the ravings of a mass murderer.
Second, The Associated Press Stylebook, which many outlets use as a benchmark for how to report the news, has taken an aggressively pro-transgender activist position.
The stylebook urges journalists to “identify people as transgender only when relevant, and use the name by which they live publicly.” It recommends avoiding “mention of a person’s gender transition or gender-affirmation surgery in news coverage” unless “it is central to the story.” Why? Because this might be “intrusive and insensitive.”
This guidance helps explain why The Associated Press appears to have considered the shooter’s transgender identity irrelevant enough to be excised from the coverage entirely. The AP, you see, didn’t want to be “insensitive” to Mr. Van Rootselaar.
Forgive me if I don’t care about being insensitive toward a mass murderer.
The AP Stylebook goes out of its way to silence dissent against transgender orthodoxy. While the “guidance” on transgender issues is steeped in transgender ideology, it flatly declares that journalists should “not use the term transgenderism, which frames transgender identity as an ideology.”
The Daily Signal appreciates the clarity of the AP Stylebook on matters such as spelling protester with an “er,” but we emphatically reject its “guidance” on issues like this where it takes a leftist partisan stance.
A reckoning on transgender insanity
This horrific shooting comes shortly after a jury ordered doctors to pay $2 million to a detransitioner who regretted having her breasts removed. It comes after the American Society of Plastic Surgeons recommended against transgender surgeries for minors, and even said the data doesn’t support hormones for minors.
The tide is turning against transgender orthodoxy, and this moment should shame news outlets into reconsidering their near-religious devotion to it.

To secure Bloc Québécois support for its censorious Bill C-9, the Liberals have reportedly agreed to a troubling trade: removing the long-standing religious defence from Canada’s hate-speech laws. This would be a mistake.
Bill C-9, the Carney government’s combating hate act, would expand criminal prohibitions on expression and increase penalties for speech offences, including online speech. Now, the bill may also gut the defence that protects good-faith religious opinion or speech rooted in religious texts.
Throughout the justice committee’s hearings, Bloc MPs fixated on this defence. Their central example, repeated to nearly every witness, was a group prayer delivered by controversial imam Adil Charkaoui at a Quebec pro-Palestinian rally in 2023. In that prayer, Charkaoui asked God to “kill the enemies of the people of Gaza” and take care of the “Zionist aggressors.”
Those comments were rightly condemned. They are grotesque. Complaints about them were investigated, and the RCMP prepared a report. It was reviewed by three Crown prosecutors, who concluded that no charges were warranted.
As Quebec’s director of criminal and penal prosecutions put it, “The evidence does not establish beyond a reasonable doubt that the words spoken constitute incitement to hatred against an identifiable group” under Sec. 319 of the Criminal Code.
One may argue that “Zionist” was just code for “Jews.” One may also believe that praying for death is morally abhorrent. But the decision not to charge Charkaoui turned on the basic threshold of incitement to hatred, not on the religious defence.
And even if it had involved the defence, one inflammatory prayer at a political rally is not a justification for dismantling a safeguard that protects millions of Canadians from state intrusion into matters of faith.
The religious defence has also been essential to the constitutionality of the hate-speech prohibition itself. In R v Keegstra, the Supreme Court wrote that the offence is a minimal impairment on the right to freedom of expression, in part because of “the presence of the Sec. 319(3) defences.” The courts upheld the law because the religious exemption exists. Remove it, and the constitutional floor collapses.
But even beyond constitutional risk, removing the defence is a profound moral and civil liberties mistake. We should not want, let alone empower, prosecutors to criminalize any form of prayer.
Religious texts across traditions contain pleas for justice against enemies, metaphors for divine retribution and expressions of anguish, symbolism and cosmic struggle. This is not the realm of the police. If the state begins parsing Psalms or Hadiths line-by-line in a courtroom, then we have forgotten why the Charter exists at all.

In practice, the defence is already exceedingly narrow. It has rarely been invoked and, based on my case law search, has never succeeded. Courts have also rejected attempts to cloak hateful speech in religious language.
In R v Harding, for example, the Court of Appeal for Ontario affirmed a lower court’s finding that the defence does not shield speech that wilfully promotes hatred merely because it is embedded with religious language, because then “religious opinion could be used with impunity as a Trojan horse to carry the intended message of hate forbidden by Sec. 319.”
Religious expression is messy, symbolic and deeply human. It concerns the nature of justice, suffering, good and evil — the most intimate dimensions of identity and conscience. These are precisely the areas where the criminal law must not tread. We do not want the government parsing religious texts, or religious speech, especially given that most of our political leaders are absolutely ignorant of religion, including, in some cases, their own religion.
For example, in a shocking display at the justice committee, Liberal committee chair Marc Miller claimed to Derek Ross, executive director of the Christian Legal Fellowship, that portions of the Bible are “hateful.” Miller then doubled down on X, writing, “I say this, in particular because I am a Christian,” which is in itself mind-boggling.
It’s dangerous for politicians to believe they can use statutes to sanitize scripture they don’t even properly understand. Criminal law is the state’s most violent instrument. It should not be swung at the human soul.
The Bible is the most banned book in history, precisely because it is powerful and points to an authority beyond the reach of government. A government that fears religious speech is not fighting extremism — it’s fighting competition.
The proposed amendment to Bill C-9 would take Canada down a dark path. We should never have criminalized belief in the first place. Strip away the religious defence, and Canada will not be combating hate, it will be criminalizing faith. The defence must be maintained. (National Post, December 4, 2025)
This isn’t a typical email. It’s an update on what’s happening behind the scenes at The Maple. Below, opinion editor Davide Mastracci shares how he found himself investigated by the RCMP, simply for doing journalism.
A couple months ago, we revealed that The Maple had been the target of a campaign to take us offline. Today, I can tell you the campaign has escalated, with critics wanting me in prison. In February, I published Find IDF Soldiers — a database of Canadians who have joined the Israeli military, based entirely on public information. With a list of 163 current and former IDF soldiers, it’s the largest in Canada, and offers rare insight into this group.Israel’s supporters have tried everything to get the site taken down, including hacking, suspension demands, discussing lawsuits, email campaigns, a multi-country media assault and death threats.
I recently learned something even more troubling: the RCMP investigated me.Documents I obtained show that someone complained to the RCMP about the project and called for me to be charged. The RCMP received the bogus complaint, screened it and rather than deciding to end things there, chose to investigate.They assigned an analyst to the complaint, who then ran my name through law enforcement databases, searched for information about me online and compiled a report.Unsurprisingly, the RCMP concluded I wasn’t a threat to “national security,” and that my journalism didn’t break any laws.
But the damage was done. My name is now in a police database used by at least 25 law enforcement agencies across Canada.Experts say this could follow me for years, and that it sends a message to other journalists: reporting on the wrong topic may land you in a police database. It’s chilling.Most journalists would stop here.I’m not one of them. I’ve spent years writing about Palestine. If threats and intimidation tactics were going to stop me, it would’ve happened a long time ago.And thankfully, I work at a publication that isn’t vulnerable to pressure the way most outlets are.
The Maple doesn’t depend on funding from advertisers, grants or major donors that can be scared off. That makes us hard to intimidate — but only if we have readers backing us.If we’re going to keep publishing this sort of work, we need to be able to withstand the tough moments that defang other publications. If we have you on our side, we can.If you believe in what we’re doing — fearless, independent journalism that can’t be bullied —then consider becoming a Maple member. Every membership is a lifeline. And if we’re going to keep publishing, we need more of them.
Because, the thing is, the threat isn’t over. I’m waiting on very overdue ATIP requests from CSIS, Ontario’s Solicitor General and Toronto Police. I don’t know what they’ll return, but I’m increasingly confident these agencies and departments looked into me because of complaints from powerful Israel supporters about my journalism.If that ends up being the case, we may have to finally hire a criminal lawyer. They’ve been willing to help me pro bono so far, but that can’t last forever.And if we want to keep publishing, we need to be ready — not scrambling after the fact.Your support doesn’t just help us do the journalism we want to — it helps protect it, and protect us. It ensures I can move forward with this work without being afraid. It makes me feel confident that you’ll have my back should anything happen.If you believe in independent journalism that won’t cower — even when it’s under attack — I hope you’ll support it.

B.C. Public Safety Minister and Solicitor General Garry Begg announced on Friday (July 4) that the province is putting up $734,000 for five more RCMP officers and an intelligence analyst to be added to the hate crime unit.
“Funding will also strengthen efforts to address hate-motivated crimes throughout our criminal justice process by ensuring that prosecutors have the necessary evidence for charge approvals,” said Begg, a former RCMP officer.
The hate crime unit will now consist of seven officers.
Statistics presented by the B.C. government show that police-reported hate crimes rose 23 per cent from 2022 to 2023. Of these, hate crimes related to religion rose 50 per cent, and hate crimes linked to sexual orientation rose 43 per cent.
This funding is part of a $230 million provincial investment in the RCMP.
B.C. is the only province with a dedicated hate-crime unit.

Ex-Political Prisoner Brad Love Faces Death Threats; RCMP Do Nothing
This has not been an easy summer for political prisoner Brad Love. Even before the Fort McMurray man was released from prison on July 31, he received bad news. He was informed by the prison authorities that his car had been stolen. A former resident of the house he shares with several others, returned, broke into Brad’s room and stole his car keys and made off with his car. When he was released, the authorities made no effort to provide transportation from the Peace River across the province to his Fort McMurray home. Fortunately, a friend travelled to the prison and gave him a ride. On reaching Fort McMurray, he learned more bad news. The police reported that his car had been found, but it had been totally trashed. Mr. Love was not even allowed to examine HIS OWN property in the pound by the the local RCMP until he paid a fee for storage. He has still not paid and has yet to see his car. More bad news awaited Brad when he tried to access his bank account. The car thief had made off with Brad’s cheque book and written cheques for over $10,000 — until the account was emptied. Brad castigated the bank’s sloppy security. He seldom writes cheques and the signature bore no resemblance to Brad’s. The bank will eventually reimburse Brad as cashing this raft of cheques was their fault but they are taking their time. And the car thief, forger? You would think even Inspector Clouseau could solve this case, The RCMP know his name, they have copious evidence of his thefts and forgeries. Yet, they tell Mr. Love nothing! He calls the RCMP frequently. They don’t return calls. On August 20, a late model car with four men pulled up and confronted Mr. Love at his front door. “We’re going to fucking kill you, Love,” they threatened. Mr. Love describes them as shady truck pusher types. He got their licence plate number. A few minutes later, another car appeared. It stopped and its scruffy looking occupants repeated the same threat: “We’re going to fucking kill you, Love.” Brad immediately called the police on 911. It took 90 minutes for the Mounties to answer this “emergency call.” Their only excuse was: “We were waiting for backup.” The Mounties explained that the threats were, well, not really actionable threats. Mr. Love could only remember the numerous times and a phone call with persistent questioning of an MPP or newspaper editor resulted in a quick visit from the RCMP and, sometimes, charges of harassment. Three weeks have passed. No action has been taken by the RCMP against those who made threats whose licence number and address Mr. Love has provided. And, of course, they don’t return phone calls. “Those were death threats. Who’s going to protect me?” a frustrated Brad Love asks.
As usual, I still receive receipts that you, Michelle E, and Diane King have sent me. [Letters seized by prison censors and not given to Mr. Love.] Why so much attention devoted to me here in Nowheresville in beyond me.
In Toronto, on June 11, a Tibetan immigrant who set a Chinese girl on fire on a bus at the Kipling subway station is sent to a looney bin. After what China did to Tibet, wasn’t this a revenge-motivated hate crime. No one brought that up. Or would this upset the swell cultural mosaic where only Whites are capable of hate?
NEWS FLASH: Guards on the weekend handed me a Stolen Auto Report Form — say what? So, I try calling my brother [in Ontario] for hours in a panic. Sure enough, a moved out former housemate [in Fort McMurray] returned and drove off in my Hyundai. My landlord called the cops. So, the Fort Mac RCMP are hot on the trail. Yeah, I’ll bet. Shit! Just what I need to interrupt my already interrupted sleep in here. I was almost through an 11 month term without any personal losses, but now, shit! I had no theft insurance on my car and my insurance was up last week. So, I had by brother call in to pay the $850 yearly for me and they REFUSED to let him pay it. Stupid, eh? But no more stupid than their refusal to call out the massive auto theft problem as an “immigration problem” as the media tells us clearly that it is. Duh! This country is digging its own grave.
