Whatcott Christmas Update

Dear Friends,

May all of you enjoy a blessed and very merry Christmas as well as a prosperous upcoming New Year.

If I remember correctly from my days at the Toronto Baptist Seminary, the Book of Isaiah has reliably been dated to have been written around 700 years before the coming of Christ. And the Prophet Isaiah spoke these words:

“Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign. Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.” Isaiah 7:14

While we do not know for sure the day Christ was born, the western Church decided December 25th was a fine day to celebrate the birth of Christ our Saviour and to this end we rejoice as we reflect on this writing 700 years later from Luke the physician, one of the earliest Greek Christians, who is the author of the Gospel of Luke and of Acts, and who is an eyewitness of the ministry of Jesus Christ.

“And in the same region there were shepherds out in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.  And an angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were filled with great fear.  And the angel said to them, “Fear not, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.  And this will be a sign for you: you will find a baby wrapped in swaddling cloths and lying in a manger.“ Luke 2:8-12

I note the birth of Christ is the fulfillment of numerous Old Testament prophecies, and this fulfillment of Isaiah 7:14 came about perfectly seven hundred years after Isaiah gave his Messianic prophecy.

In my mind these Messianic prophecies and their fulfullment by a King who came as a baby wrapped in a swaddling cloth, who was born in a manger; born miraculously to a common woman who was still a virgin, known by the name of Mary is worth reflecting on during the Christmas season.

I would also like to remind my friends that for many Canadians, Christmas this year will be tough. Inflation and the cost of energy is impoverishing many of us. In my neighbourhood, we are trying to minister to a couple seniors who are literally experiencing food insecurity and in one case lost her phone service as her pension is no longer sufficient to pay for a phone, food, and rent, in the trailer park where she is living. This level of poverty was almost unheard of in Alberta ten years ago, but now seniors and others are falling through the cracks.

I would encourage my friends to look around for low income seniors in their neighbouhood, or those on disability or who are doing minimum wage jobs, especially if they have a dependant or are renting. These folks might be frugal in their budgeting, but still not be making it. Maybe consider purchasing and setting aside a small practical gift (a little food, an article of warm clothing, hygeine product) for them this Christmas and leave it at their door. God gave us His Son, we can celebrate Christmas in a small way by sharing a little with someone in need, who can’t pay us back.

“We must help the weak, remembering the words the Lord Jesus himself said: ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’” Acts 20:35

I don’t think this level of poverty has to be inevitable. Canada is blessed with natural resources and manufacturing potential. Getting rid of Trudeau and his to hench people, Freeland and Guibeault could help matters in this regard. I think Christmas is also a good time to remind people of the need for a Saviour and repentance.

Unfortunately, even Christians in my own circles are looking at Pierre Pollievre as Canada’s “salvation. ” On a practical level, Pollievre fits all the boxes of a fake conservative, not unlike Doug Ford. The guy’s voting record in Parliament is red. Pollievre publicly supports abortion on demand and has voted in favour of gender selective abortion.

On the free speech front the guy came late to the support of the freedom convoy. Pollievre did not follow the footsteps of more principled conservatives such as Randy Hillier or Derek Sloan who opposed the Covid tyranny early on and were expelled from the Conservative party for their principled and public stands. More tellingly, Pollievre voted with Trudeau to criminalize so-called “conversion therapy,” AKA a responsible adult telling Junior it’s a bad idea to stick his pee pee up the poop shoot of another guy. In actual fact you aren’t “born that way,” and you can choose to avoid that type of sexual behaviour and all the harms that go with it. Pollievre believes giving sensible, truthful, advice of this nature to Junior, whether you are a dad, a teacher, or a Christian counsellor is worthy of up to 5 years in a federal penitentary.

No, Pollievre will not be Canada’s “saviour.” We need Jesus, and there is an Old Testament Scripture worth reflecting on when it comes to the state Canadians are finding themselves in:

“If my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land.” 2 Chronicles 7:14                                        As for my own so-called “hate crime” charge, related to my Gospel ministry at the 2016 Toronto homosexual shame parade? I have no new news to report yet on my application to the Supreme Court of Canada. We are hoping to overturn the Ontario Court of Appeal’s decision ordering me to stand trial again for this charge after I was already acquitted by the Ontario Superior Court in December 2021.

As, I looked more into the Ontario Court of Appeal ruling, I am realizing just how outrageous this ruling is. Notwithstanding my obvious bias in the case, it seems to me the Supreme Court of Canada should overturn the Ontario Court of Appeal ruling and deliver a strongly worded rebuke the Appeal Court Judges. They actually ignored an explicit Charter right and allowed their pro-homosexual biases to get in the way of their responsibility rule impartially and in accordance with so-called fundamental Charter rights, such as the right of accused persons to not be retried for the same offence once they are acquitted after already undergoing a trial.

I didn’t realize it, but the right to not have to stand trial for the same offense again, once being found “not guilty,” is actually enshrined in the Canadian Charter of Rights:

11. Any person charged with an offence has the right:

h. if finally acquitted of the offence, not to be tried for it again and, if finally found guilty and punished for the offence, not to be tried or punished for it again

I could see this Charter right being set aside and a new trial being ordered, if it came to light after my acquittal that I bribed the judge and as a result of that bribery the judge deliberately ignored or skewed evidence of my guilt and granted me an acquittal.

But in my case, nothing of this sort happened. Rather a Liberal, Trudeau appointee, Ontario Appeals Court judge by the name of Lorne Sossin (he/him), (Lorne is woke and even though he is a 100% biological male he is concerned you won’t know if he is a man, or a woman, or a gender queer, so he helps you out with his pronouns) decided not hearing the testimony of a York University homosexual activist academic was such a serious error in law that the Charter protection not to be tried again for the same offense could be ignored and ordered that a I go through a second trial for a charge I was already acquitted of.

Lorne Sossin (he/him) puts his pronouns after his name, so you don’t make a mistake and think he is a she/her/they/zir or something else.

Sossin writes in paragraph 82: ”In my view, the trial judge’s exclusion of Professor Mulé’s evidence constituted a legal error which affected the record on which he based his acquittal.
Given the contextual dynamics of the test for hate speech, with the assistance of
that expert evidence, the verdict could well have been different. On this basis, a
new trial on a complete record is required.”

Here is Nick Mule’s curriculem vitae. As you can see for yourself Mule’s “expertise” is queering social work, queer liberation, male on male kink, etc…; Mule’ sits on a group called “Queer Ontario” and strangely he sits as a member for another group known as “No Pride in Policing.” This leads me to ask why would Nick even want to show up at my trial to give “expert” evidence to get me convicted of a hate crime for handing out flyers of any sort at the Toronto homosexual pride parade, as he belongs to a group that opposes to the presence of police in homosexual pride parades?

Anyways, it is no surprise that Nick, notwithstanding his own tendencies towards anarchy and tearing down the social order, especially when it comes to illegal drug use and public sex, would opine that my flyer is criminal hate speech. Indeed, his taxpayer funded paper accusing me of using “tropes” of various nasty sorts and having ulterior motives as I put together my flyer, and having made an argument that my flyer caused “minority stress” and this leads to bad health outcomes for sodomites; it is no surprise Nick’s opinion is that my flyer is a crime that should land me in jail. It’s also clear Nick’s opinion on my flyer should be as weighty as that of someone who advocates for furries, or diaper fetishes, or drag queen story hours at libraries. Nick has no legal training and his “expertise” is advocating for sexually deviant behaviours in quite a variety of manifestations, but not much else.

The fact Justice Sossin used Justice Goldstein’s decision to not admit Nick Mule’s “expert” paper or testimony as evidence in my trial as a reason to ignore a Charter right and overturn my acquittal and order a new trial, really shows the Charter for all the lofty homage lawyers and judges pay to it, is not actually worth anything. If the Charter Right is at variance with the personal preferences of a Liberal, pro-homosexual, judge, the Charter right get ignored. Of course we are to believe Nick Mule’s opinion is so integral to a hate crime trial that an acquittal needs to be overturned if a judge elects to make up his mind after reviewing the evidence and decides to not entertain him! What weighty wisdom does a guy have who writes academic treatises about kink and creating safe spaces in public parks so sodomites can have sex in the park without worrying about getting busted by the police? According to Justice Sossin (he/him) Mule’s kind of knowledge is a must have for a judge who is reading a Bill Whatcott flyer and trying to figure out if it is illegal hate speech or free speech.

To see the flyer that was declared not hate speech by Superior Court Justice Goldstein but which Nick Mule’s said caused “minority stress” to homosexual parade attendees and contains “tropes” that are hateful, and whose opinion is so vital according to Ontario Court of Appeal Justice Sossin (he/him) as to set aside a Superior Court Justice’s acquittal, ignore a Charter Right to not be tried twice for the same offence, and to go on trial again, go here:

Sorry I can’t show you the flyer as my bail conditions order me not to reproduce links to the flyer anymore. ☹️

Anyways, since the last appeal for funds I made a couple month ago, I think I raised $300 or so. If we go to the Supreme Supreme Court of Canada this money will go to John Rosen, a lawyer who has worked hard and has done me well. If the Supreme Court refuses to hear my case (they decline to hear 95% or so of cases that come their way) then I will use the money to drive to Ontario to conduct my own defense in my next trial.

Either way, I definitely would like to give Mr. Rosen more than $300 if we go to the Supreme Court. If I conduct my own defense, I will need more than $300 to even make the gas needed to drive to Ontario, never mind food and other necessities for what will likely be months of being forced to reside and conduct my own defence in the city of Toronto.

Until next time, Merry Christmas! And remember Jesus is the reason for the Season!

In Christ’s Service, Bill Whatcott
