Canadian government continues to pummel pro-family activist Bill Whatcott for “anti-gay” flyer he passed out in 2016! Facing trial again for the same “hate speech” charge - after acquittal.

Bill Whatcott is one of those people who ultimately helps change the world for the better. Many people talk about fighting back against the radical agendas degrading society – but back off when the government (or the Left) threatens them. Bill Whatcott takes his Christian faith seriously and refuses to back down!

The details of this outrageous situation are documented by MassResistance here.

The “crime”

In 2016, Bill and his friends registered to march in the Toronto Gay Pride Parade as members of the “Gay Zombies Cannabis Consumers Association.” Marching in the parade wearing masks and green body suits, they passed out flyers to the crowds of onlookers. The flyers warned of the horrible medical consequences of homosexual behavior and contained Bible verses. (Publication of the flyer has been banned in Canada by the courts. MassResistance has made it available.)

I guess there’s no such thing as double jeopardy in Canada.

I could see this happening in the USA in a few years despite the protections we supposedly currently enjoy.

I could see it happening in Ukraine today.

on the other hand, In Russia it would be the naked marching homos that would probably be facing trial.

Double jeopardy?

Double jeopardy?


Have no idea if Canada offers this protection from the Magna Carta or not. However, here where double jeopardy is prohibited by the Constitution, this is easily gotten around by filing Federal charges after a state court has acquitted someone. He was acquitted of murder, but we’re charging ‘depravation of rights’, a completely different crime.

Happened in Rodney King’s case. The defendants were originally acquitted in LA.

At what point does this become reverse discrimination?

From the article:

In the U.S., “double jeopardy” is unconstitutional. But in Canada, the government can appeal a “not guilty” verdict and force a second criminal trial. Even so, everyone was shocked when two weeks after Bill’s acquittal the government filed a “notice of appeal.”

This is why there should not be any “hate speech” laws.

Those in power can define anything they disagree with as “hate speech’. It is censorship, pure and simple.

Several years ago we went to Winnipeg to a music festival. Our son was performing. So was one of his friends at the time who was/is the grandson of Pete Seeger. He was singing “I might be right, I might be wrong, I’ve got the right to sing this song. I pointed out to our son that he did not, in Canada, have the “fight” to sing the song, he only had to permission because there was no 1st amendment.
