Hamilton city councillors have refused to hear from white nationalist Paul Fromm and a local yellow vester.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Councillors have refused to hear in person from white nationalist Paul Fromm and a local yellow vester who had asked to delegate at city hall.<\/p>\n

The far right leader, who infamously ran unsuccessfully for mayor locally in the last election, had asked to speak to council about whether the city’s planned new hate prevention policy limits free speech. A new draft of the policy is expected to come out next month.<\/p>\n

Via email, Fromm called council “closed-minded” and “undemocratic” for rejecting his request and criticized the “poisonous” Spectator for an editorial calling on councillors to deny him a speaking opportunity.<\/p>\n
