In an article dated February 24th, the Regina Leader Post claims that I was convicted of harassment for “following an interracial couple around a Saskatoon mall and asking the man repeatedly: “Why are you walking around with our women if you weren’t born in Canada?””.
This is false.
I asked the complainant:
“Why are you walking around with our women if you’re not born here?“
Although not everyone might agree with the premise of this question, it is not an imprisonable one. There is nothing inherently wrong with posing such a question to someone when the conversation is consentual.
An accused person is entitled to all evidence within the possession of the Crown which might reasonably speak to their defence.
This political prosecution has been conducted as part of an effort to suppress nationalism in Canada.
Since 2017, we have been advocating reinstating the Immigration Act of 1952. These proceedings have already had a chilling-effect on the debate surrounding immigration reform. In a country where the judiciary is supposed to be impartial, imprisoning political candidates for asking such a fair question is wrong.
These proceedings further demonstrate that Canadians who advocate their nationality are being imprisoned for doing so. They demonstrate that the current administration in Ottawa is adversarial toward Canadian nationalism. This comes shortly after the Liberal Government announced it’s intention to transition Canada into the “world’s first post-national country” (2015 – present).
The accused person has committed no crime here. Their actions were reasonable, and in the absence of full and frank disclosure, I reserve my section 11(d) Charter right to be presumed innocent.
I do not apologize for asking such a question. Nor do I apologize for being nationalist.
