A warrant, dated September 30, authorized the masked Mounties to search for &#8220;glue,&#8217;Keep Canada White&#8217; posters and copies of <strong>The Canadian Immigration Hotline<\/strong>&#8220;, published for over 30 years by the William Hopkinson Society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Mr. Love, a vocal critic of Canada&#8217;s failed immigration policy, has been a frequent target of police harassment for his having called the local newspaper and politicians to call them to account. Previous charges have usually been withdrawn at the last minute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Mr. Love reports that the raid which lasted over two hours, also involved searches of the bedrooms of the other men with whom he shared the house.<br>The warrant authorizing the search for glue and literature sought evidence for &#8220;mischief under $5,000.&#8221; The police carted away a box of items for which they provided Mr. Love with no receipt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>&#8220;Somebody is putting up pamphlets,&#8221; one of the officers told Mr. Love. &#8220;It&#8217;s not about free speech, Brad.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>When advised of the raid, Paul Fromm, Director of the Canadian Association for Free Expression commented: &#8220;Sadly, under this reign of Cultural Marxism, our police forces are increasingly becoming political police.&#8221;<br><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former Political Prisoner Brad Love Raided by 6 Mounties Looking for Glue, Posters &amp; Canadian Immigration Hotlines FORT McMurray, October 2, 2020.
