Court date cancelled for so-called Truth and Reconciliation Day
Dear Friends,
I just learned that my court date (October 2, 2023) for my never ending “hate crime” case has been rescheduled to October 16, 2023, which happens to be my 56th birthday.
The reason for this rescheduling is apparently the Ontario Superior Court needs the paid day off to “reflect on the tragic legacy of the residential school system and the
ways it continues to affect Indigenous Peoples in Canada. It is a day to mourn the
children who did not return from residential school and to honour the survivors,
their families, and the resilience of their communities.” . . https://www.ontariocourts.ca/ocj/files/Sept-30-2023-Tri-Court-Announcement-ENG.pdf
So-called Truth and Reconciliation day actually falls on Saturday, September 30th, so it is unclear to me why the judges, prosecutors, court clerks, etc …. can’t reflect on Saturday on their own time, rather than Monday on the taxpayer’s time, especially when one considers their constant complaining about the court’s dreadful backlog, which is actually a serious problem.
Here is an article from two months ago on thousands of serious driving offenses being withdrawn in Toronto and across Ontario, because they can’t make it to trial in a timely manner.

It is worth noting the poor taxpayers of Ontario who work in the private sector and who are paying for these well paid civil servants to go and “reflect” about all these alleged residential school victims (or in Prime Minister Blackface’s case most likely surfing and substance abusing in Tofino), will not be getting a paid day off on October 2nd. They will be working. Advertisements Report this ad
Anyways, I was blessed to have a so-called residential school survivor named Nelson Boyer as a friend and fellow activist when I was picketing the Regina General Hospital 20 years ago. Nelson was sort of hated by his Metis settlement even back 20 years ago as he refused to be a part of the class action suit that the Tony Merchant lawfirm was initiating back then.
Nelson was Metis and was quite adament that his stay at a Catholic residential school was the reason he had a successful marriage of 50 years, a fulfilling career as a Catholic School teacher, and indeed he attributed his strong Catholic faith to his stay in the residential school. As for abuse? Beyond mild corporal punishment for serious rule breaking, Nelson didn’t see any abuse. Back 60 years ago when Nelson was a student in the Catholic residential school, corporal punishment was also common in Canada’s public schools and was not considered abuse.
Nelson by being honest and saying out loud that he was not abused and that he did not perceive himself as a victim of genocide pissed off some people in his Metis community. The Canadian government and courts were making sure there was big money to be had by claiming residential school victimhood. The narrative in the media and education establishments deliberately implicated white Christians who worked in the residential school system as the victimizers.
While no system created by humans is perfect and for certain a system like the residential school system which lasted for over a century and employed thousands of people would have attracted a few abusers, the narrative promoted by our public schools, mainstream media and indeed the Ontario Superior Court is misleading and unlike my flyer that I am charged with with a hate crime for distributing at a homosexual pride parade, I would say intentionally misleading.

The media and courts are deliberately giving an impression that native children were abducted, abused, murdered, and left in unmarked mass graves:
In Kamloops so far no mass grave has been found, though you would never know that listening to the CBC or learning at your local public school. I believe there are unmarked graves all over Canada from the residential school era. Life was harsh in the Canada of more than a century ago. Many people, native and otherwise, were poor who lived on Canada’s frontiers; the social safety nets, health care and nutrition that we take for granted today was not available back then. People died and wound up in graves with no tombstones. The little wooden crosses that a Priest or nun would put on a child’s grave more than a century ago would definitely be an unmarked grave today.
One teacher who would actually qualify as a PhD level history expert was fired by the Abbotsford School Board when he gently corrected the misconceptions of one of his students who claimed Catholic nuns, Priests and teachers were murdering native children in the residential schools. In actual fact the teacher informed his student, native and non native children died from ailments such as tuberculosis, pneumonia and influenza in the nineteenth and early twentieth century in Canada.
Many residential schools were virtually on the frontier with no doctors and no amenities that we take for granted today like hydro or running water. The fact is most of the Priests, nuns and other carers did the best they could caring for native children with the limited resources they had. The federal government at the time gave the schools a small budget to operate on and given the residential schools were dormitory style residences, respiratory infections spread easily and stuff that is easily treatable today was often fatal a hundred years ago.

The residential school narrative kind of reminds me of the narrative the Ontario Appeals Court and LGBT lobby is trying to spin at my trial. The narrative is my flyer is “hate” and homosexuals were harmed and put at risk by the words and images contained in my flyer.
To see the flyer and to decide for yourself if this flyer is criminal hate speech go here: https://www.massresistance.org/docs/gen3/18b/Bill-Whatcott-arrest-warrant/images/Gay-Zombies-flier.pdf
It doesn’t matter that the Crown’s own infectious disease expert, Dr. Mona Loutfy, was found to be more misleading in her testimony about my flyer than the claims I made in the flyer its self. Dr. Loutfy took it upon herself to lie under oath in an effort to get me convicted of a hate crime, rather than just give unbiased evidence about the statistics and images in my flyer and let the unbiased evidence inform the courts about the accuracy of my claims of health risks related to homosexual conduct.
It doesn’t matter that the original trial judge, Robert Goldstein looked for a month and couldn’t find criminal hate speech in my flyer. It doesn’t matter that Justice Goldstein in his judgment acquitting me noted there were no calls to violence and that my flyer lacks what the Supreme Court calls the “hallmarks of hatred,” ie calls for banishment or genocide, comparing targeted group to vermin or excrement, etc……
What matters is that public disapproval of homosexual behaviour and especially inconvenient facts about higher than average rates of STIs, domestic violence, promiscuity and other maladies be silenced. The Toronto courts and Ontario Attorney General’s Office under fake conservative Doug Ford have allowed themselves to be driven by an ideological agenda that seems to be devoid of any desire to arrive at the truth about wether or not my flyer is a hate crime. The Ontario Prosecutor and Appeal Courts seem driven to acheive a conviction in my case rather than simply let the facts decide my guilt or innocence. Advertisements Report this ad

It seems to me as Canada’s leaders (politicians, judges, business elites, etc….) stray farther from the God who created them and as they turn their backs on the God who our country once acknowledged and honoured, the more they reject and even despise what is true.
“Although they knew God, they did not honor Him as God or give thanks to Him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened. Claiming to be wise, they became fools.” Romans 1:21, 22
The fact that my flyer (written by a 20 year out of practice nurse) was found to be more truthful than a currently practicing Medical Doctor who was also an infectious disease expert and who was retained by the Prosecutor to scrutinize my flyer but discredited herself by being an advocate for the side that wants to put me in jail doesn’t matter. In theory truth should be a defense in criminal hate speech cases. In my case the truth of my flyer is being ignored and they want to bring in a homosexual “expert” for the next trial to explain how my flyer is all about hateful tropes and negative generalizations designed to create an environment where hatred and discrimination can flourish. In my view the Crown Prosecutor has no interest in knowing what my actual (not hard to determine) motivations for distributing the flyer in the Toronto homosexual pride parade are.
Michael Higgins treatment for teaching honest history rather than distorted leftist race baiting in not dissimilar. History, reasearch, and truth its self was on Mr. Higgin’s side, but he was fired from his job as a history teacher anyways. The people in power over Mr. Higgins career preferred the leftist narrative and untruths about Canada’s residential schools legacy over historical accuracy and an honest examination of Christian run residential schools.

Interestingly those on the far left who wish to criminalize my speech are working to criminalize Michael Higgins speech as well. Radical native, pro-abortion, and self described pro-trans activist NDP Member of Parliament Leah Gazan wants to amend Section 319 (the section I am charged under) of the Criminal Code to add “residential school denialism” to the code and make it a so-called hate crime. Quite disturbingly Trudeau’s Justice Minister David Lametti has indicated he is open to adding “residential school denialism” to Canada’s criminal code. This means historians like Michael Higgins who push back against a politically correct but unbalanced narrative, might not only find themselves out of a job, but also becoming the cell partner of Bill Whatcott who also pushed back against a damaging agenda bolstered and propagated by numerous untrue but seemingly unassailable assumptions.
As the left seizes control of the courts and legislatures of our land the narrative has become more important than the truth. And sadly the time honoured principle of the truth being a defense is ceasing to be something that those who are being prosecuted for speaking the inconvenient truth can count on for their exoneration. For a judicial or political system to be credible, it must desire truth and enshrine truth as a defense. Increasingly, Canada’s political and legal systems are lacking credibility.
“So Pilate entered his headquarters again and called Jesus and said to him, “Are you the King of the Jews?” Jesus answered, “Do you say this of your own accord, or did others say it to you about me?” Pilate answered, “Am I a Jew? Your own nation and the chief priests have delivered you over to me. What have you done?” Jesus answered, “My kingdom is not of this world. If my kingdom were of this world, my servants would have been fighting, that I might not be delivered over to the Jews. But my kingdom is not from the world.” Then Pilate said to him, “So you are a king?” Jesus answered, “You say that I am a king. For this purpose I was born and for this purpose I have come into the world—to bear witness to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth listens to my voice.” Pilate said to him, “What is truth?” John 18:
