Ottawa police lay 3 more sex assault charges against St. Pat’s teacher

Ottawa police have laid three more sexual assault charges against a 55-year-old teacher who used to work at St. Patrick’s High School in Alta Vista.

Robert Lavergne was previously charged mid-March with sexual assault and sexual exploitation of a young girl under 18 years of age.

Lavergne, who has been suspended from his teaching duties since February, is not in custody at the moment, a spokesperson for the Ottawa Police Service confirmed Thursday.

He is scheduled to appear in court on the new charges on June 27.

The first set of charges against Lavergne came after a police investigation “into sexual offences” that occurred at the local Catholic school between 2014 and 2016. Police said the three additional charges stem from “further reports of sexual assault” which allegedly occurred between 2004 and 2010. The new accusations relate to two alleged adult victims.  (more...)

Former Concordia creative writing student names professor who sexually abused her

In a Twitter thread, former Concordia student Emma Healey named Jon Paul Fiorentino as the creative writing professor who allegedly sexually abused her. She said she spoke to the Office of Rights and Responsibilities about filing an official complaint against him.
Fiorentino is a part-time professor in Concordia’s english department. His classes were reassigned during the 2018 winter semester amid allegations of sexual misconduct.

On May 22, 2018, Healey alleged that Fiorentino was the professor from her 2014 essay “Stories Like Passwords” in a long chain of tweets. She wrote the essay about a relationship she had with her 34-year-old professor when she was 19 years old, explaining that it wasn’t fully consensual. Healey also said that her experience was a “drop in the bucket” and that student-teacher relationships occur frequently.

Healey explained in the thread that once the story had started to die down, she had allowed herself forget about the issue until last week, when she learned the university did not have enough formal complaints to prosecute the professors in question. “I felt so angry I wanted to throw up,” she wrote. “Feel. I feel that angry. I am shaking as I type this.”

The Twitter thread ended with Healey naming the professor her essay was about, saying, “‘Stories Like Passwords’ is about Jon Paul Fiorentino. He’s the professor who manipulated me into a relationship, emotionally abused me, assaulted me, coerced me into sex and raped me while I was a student at Concordia and he was a teacher”.  (more...)

School, city condemn neo-Nazi posters plastered in St. Clair West area park

School and city officials are condemning whoever plastered neo-Nazi posters throughout a park in the St. Clair West area.

The posters, which feature swastikas and phrases like "the Nazi youth are here," were found near a playground on Monday in Wells Hill Park, near St. Clair Avenue West and Bathurst Street — an area where many Jewish families live.

On Tuesday, the principal of one nearby school wrote to parents to warn them.

"Early this morning we became aware about offensive anti-Semitic and racist material appearing in the community and near our school," Hillcrest Community School principal Anthony Levy said in an email.

"This kind of disturbing activity is simply not acceptable."  (more...)

Did Canada expel Russian diplomats for a false reason?

Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland plays fast and loose with the facts if she believes her grandfather wasn't a Nazi collaborator

We live in a world where “fake news” is used with near-reckless abandon. But there are moments when real news gets lumped into this category. It blurs fact and fiction, and changes a narrative not for the better but for the worse.

Here’s a recent example.

Canada recently tossed out four Russian diplomats and refused entry to three others. The federal Liberal government claimed it was to show solidarity with the United Kingdom after former Russian spy Sergei Skripal and his daughter, Yulia, were poisoned and found on a park bench in Salisbury, England. (Both are recovering and the latter was released from hospital.)

This explanation made sense. Other western democracies did the same, including America, which expelled 60 Russian diplomats.

The story then took a bizarre turn when Canada’s Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland released a statement claiming the Russian diplomats used their status “to interfere in our democracy.” No one knew what she was talking about. Maybe they were the ringleaders of the Skripal poisoning or perhaps there was a national security breach.

Freeland wasn’t forthcoming with details but Prime Minister Justin Trudeau did her dirty work. He claimed these “Russian propagandists” were expelled because they spread false stories about Freeland’s late grandfather, Michael Chomiak (formerly Mykhailo Khomiak), being a Nazi collaborator during the Second World War.

Yet the historical record appears to show the Russians were actually telling the truth.  (more...)

The Latest From Santa Marta: There Is an American Conspiracy Against the Agreement Between Rome and Beijing

Settimo Cielo reported on May 7 on the intensification of the anti-Catholic repression in Henan, the populous province halfway between Beijing and Shanghai, traditionally considered the cradle of Chinese civilization.

Just over a week later, however, the website Vatican Insider, known for its connections to Pope Francis, published under the byline of Gianni Valente a refutation of the fear that the Catholic Church is in the crosshairs of the Chinese authorities and that from the province of Henan the anti-Catholic repression could extend to all of China...

In Valente’s judgment, in fact, the main intention of the Chinese authorities is to stop the proliferation in that province of the “domestic churches” of Protestants and apocalyptic sects, supported by the religious right in the United States for the sake of overthrowing the Chinese regime.

So the repression that is also hitting Catholic communities in Henan would be only a side effect of this overall and justified crackdown.

When instead - Valente concludes in his argumentation - the Catholic Church would be a firm embankment against these engulfing subversive sects. And an agreement between the Vatican and Beijing would turn out to be entirely to the advantage of the interests of the Chinese regime as well.  (more...)

Why Canada’s white supremacists want Doug Ford to win

That giddy white supremacist, who used the alias League of the North, was unmasked earlier this month in a Vice investigation as Thomas White of Thunder Bay, Ontario.

The Liberals put out a press release noting that Ford had been endorsed by the podcast Nazis. The PC party quickly disavowed their support, and the media largely ignored the story.

But it’s part of a troubling trend. Far-right figures and groups, from the explicitly white supremacist to the more crypto-fascist, have not been shy in proclaiming their support for “Ford Nation” and their belief that Doug Ford could create an opening for white supremacist activity similar to the effect of Donald Trump in the United States.

The Proud Boys love Ford too. They’re a group of alt-right fellow travelers whose founder Gavin McInnes was in the news this week for calling women he disagreed with “colostomy bag[s] for various strangers' semen.” On Facebook and Twitter they’ve been stumping for Ford, posting memes dubbing him a “PROUDBOY” and urging their supporters to go to Ford campaign rallies and “show your support for Doug Ford as premiere [sic] of Ontario.”

White supremacist and former Rebel Media host Faith Goldy is a fan, as is her ex-boss Ezra Levant. Meanwhile, in the darker corners of Reddit and other internet forums, the alt-right and their fellow travellers are busily churning out memes to help Ford win the culture war.  (more...)

Alt-right in Montreal: Efforts to unmask key neo-Nazis make waves

Anti-fascist protestors march toward the home of neo-Nazi Zeiger in the
Rosemont borough of Montreal

It’s been a tumultuous month for the alt-right in Montreal.

In early May the Montreal Gazette exposed one of the most prominent neo-Nazi figures in North America.

“Zeiger” was known as the No. 2 writer on the Daily Stormer — said to be the world’s largest neo-Nazi website — and an influential figure in neo-Nazi recruiting circles.

He was considered a thought leader in North America’s neo-Nazi movement, having helped to develop recruitment strategies that focused on internet culture, as well as claiming responsibility for the resurgence of Siege — a 1980s manifesto that called for the neo-Nazi movement to adopt individual acts of terrorism as political strategy. Siege, which Zeiger digitized, was the main inspiration for the American neo-Nazi terrorist organization Atomwaffen Division.

This information was given to the Montreal Gazette by a group of anti-fascists, who had scoured through 12,000 messages on a closed forum and connected Zeiger to a Rosemont—La-Petite-Patrie man named Gabriel Sohier Chaput. (A home address that Zeiger provided during a discussion on the closed forum matched the address where Sohier Chaput lived).

The news spread across the city like wildfire.  (more...)

German far-right party plans to drum up support by taking to Berlin’s streets Sunday

Alice Weidel, left, and Alexander Gauland, are parliamentary faction leaders of
the Alternative for Germany (AfD).

BERLIN—A German far-right party that swept into parliament last year on a wave of anti-migrant sentiment is staging a march Sunday through the heart of Berlin to protest against the government of Chancellor Angela Merkel, accusing it of ruining Germany by allowing the mass immigration of refugees.

Alternative for Germany, or AfD, took 12.6 per cent of the vote in September’s national election, coming third behind Merkel’s conservative Union bloc and the centre-left Social Democrats. After those two agreed to continue their governing coalition, AfD became the largest opposition party, a role that traditionally accords parties in Germany a prominent platform to promote their positions in Parliament.

AfD’s novice lawmakers have struggled to grasp basic parliamentary procedures and have stood out mainly with blunt attacks on minorities, particularly Muslims, who made up the majority of the more than one million asylum-seekers to enter Germany in 2015 and 2016. Co-leader Alice Weidel was formally censured by parliament earlier this month for describing girls who wear Islamic head scarves as “useless people.”

Sunday’s rally, starting at Berlin’s main train station and ending at the landmark Brandenburg Gate, is highly unusual for a German political party. While other parties have in recent years supported protests on a variety of issues — from animal rights to opposing free trade — AfD is the sole organizer of the march headlined “Germany’s Future.”  (more...)

Out of Control: Ukraine's Rogue Militias

In 2014, Ukraine was under siege and the military was unprepared. Desperate, the government urged anyone to get to the front and fight the Russian-backed separatists. As the war drags on, Ukraine claims their military is now in control and the volunteers have all been disbanded. But we tracked down some rogue volunteers still out there fighting, not prepared to hand over their weapons anytime soon.

Scarborough elementary school teacher charged in connection with assault of eight girls

Remy Perry, 53

A French and special education teacher has been charged in connection with the assault of eight girls at a Scarborough elementary school.

According to investigators, the alleged incidents took place at Edgewood Public School, located at 230 Birkdale Road, between September 2017 and May 2018.

During this time, police allege eight girls were assaulted by a school teacher while on school property.

Toronto District School Board spokesperson Ryan Bird said a letter was sent home to parents and guardians of students at the school on Friday regarding the investigation.

“Upon learning of the allegations, staff acted immediately to place the employee on home assignment and to notify the authorities,” the letter said. “School administration will continue to co-operate with police in their investigation.”  (more...)

American Pervert: Exiled sex offender worked as Brock U teacher

ST. CATHARINES — A former English teacher exiled from the United States in 2006 for sexually assaulting a 15-year-old student was working as a teaching assistant at Brock University under an assumed name in 2017, The St. Catharines Standard has learned.

Malcolm Matthews — convicted as Malcolm Watson in Cheektowaga, N.Y., of sexual assault in the third degree — also got a job at the YWCA Niagara Region in fund development and communications in 2012.

His employment, which potentially gave him access to vulnerable girls, was terminated after three weeks when the YWCA learned of his status as a registered sex offender in the United States.

More recently, Matthews was a PhD student at Brock in the interdisciplinary humanities department until the fall of 2017. The university confirmed Friday he was employed as a teaching assistant, a position that sees a person teaching classes and grading student work.

A Brock spokesperson said Matthews, 48, is no longer employed at the university, although he could not provide further details, citing privacy rules.

In 2006 Matthews, still going by Watson, was an English teacher at Buffalo Seminary, an all-girls private school. Although an American citizen, he lived in St. Catharines with his now-former wife and their children.  (more...)

Basilians appeal $2.5M award in sex abuse case

Less than a month after a Toronto judge awarded a Sudbury man $2.5 million for compensation for the abuse he endured at the hands of a Catholic priest, lawyers for the church announced they were appealing the verdict.

In a statement on their website, the Basilian Fathers write they don't believe the monetary award is “legally sound or justified.”

Specifically, they are appealing the $500,000 awarded in punitive damages and $1.58 million in lost income.

“The Basilian Fathers are not appealing the awards for general and aggravated damages, nor for the amount awarded for counselling costs,” the statement said.

“Those amounts will be paid to Mr. MacLeod shortly.”

The case centred on Father William Hodgson Marshall, who was convicted in 2011 of abusing 17 students at schools over a 38-year period. Marshall, who worked in Rochester, Toronto, Windsor, Sudbury, and Sault Ste. Marie, was reported a total of six times over his career but continued in his role as a priest and teacher.

He died in 2014.  (more...)

In the Wake of Mass Shootings, Parents Reconsider Mass Schooling

In the wake of recent tragic school shootings, anxious parents are contemplating homeschooling to protect their children. After February’s school shooting in Parkland, Florida, the Miami Herald reported that more parents were considering the homeschooling option. And after Friday’s disturbing school shooting in Sante Fe, Texas, a local ABC news affiliate in Alabama reported the increasing appeal of homeschooling.

“If I had the time, I would teach my kids myself, and I would know that they’re safe,” a father of four told ABC station, WAAY31. A public school teacher interviewed by the channel disagreed with the idea of homeschooling. According to the news story, the teacher “says resorting to homeschooling is teaching your children to run from reality.”

But that raises the question: Is compulsory mass schooling “reality”?

Segregating children by age into increasingly restrictive, test-driven classrooms where they are forced by law to be unless a parent or caregiver liberates them is hardly “reality.” What’s worse is that young people are spending increasingly more time in this coercive “reality” than ever before.

For young children ages six to eight, schooling increased from an average of five hours a day in 1981-82 to an average of seven hours a day in 2002-03. And for today’s teens, schooling consumes much more of their time than it did for previous generations, seeping into summertime and other historically school-free periods. According todata from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, 42 percent of teens were enrolled in school during July 2016, compared to only 10 percent enrolled in July 1985.  (more...)

Polish airmen offer poignant reminder of why we need to be more welcoming

I recently had the opportunity to attend a special event in Cambridge commemorating five Canadians who died during the Warsaw Uprising in the Second World War. The people of Poland had endured the horrors of Nazi occupation longer than anyone else. Polish Jews perished in the Holocaust, and other Poles were forced into slave labour.

On Aug. 1, 1944, with the Soviet Red Army practically in the suburbs of Warsaw, the city's inhabitants rose up against their Nazi oppressors.

Soviet dictator Josef Stalin betrayed the Poles by holding his army back. It was to his advantage to have the German army distracted by the insurgents, but it was also to his advantage to let the Germans crush the uprising and kill Polish leaders and nationalists who might be problematic to his own plans for Poland once Nazi Germany had been defeated.

The Western Allies organized an airdrop of arms and medical supplies to the Polish fighters in one of the first-ever operations of that kind. On Aug. 5, a Halifax bomber loaded with supplies was shot down by a German fighter plane. None of the crew survived. Among the dead were five Canadians:

Harold Brown, George Chapman, Arthur Liddell, Charles Wylie and Arnold Blynn. They ranged in age from 20 to 31 and were from across Canada. Today Poland honours them as heroes.  (more...)

Brainwashing victims planning class-action lawsuit

On Sunday, dozens of brainwashing victims from the Allan Memorial Institute gathered from across Canada for a meeting in Montreal, to grieve together and introduce the lawyer who will help them file a class-action lawsuit.

------------------------------------

In the annuals of declassified CIA records concerning the agency's ventures into truth serums, brainwashing and "mind control" there are any number of notorious and unsavory individuals whose particular talents were harnessed by the agency for such endeavors. This is a rogue's gallery to be sure, but one particular individual and his work have proven to be especially shocking to any number of researchers delving into this topic: Dr. Donald Ewen Cameron, a Scottish born psychiatrist who became one of the most well know members of his field in the post-World War II era when he assumed major posts such as the presidency of the World Psychiatric Association. Such honors combined with his participation in the Nuremberg Trials made Cameron world famous during his lifetime but it was his radical research performed at the Allan Memorial Institute of McGill University that has given him everlasting infamy decades after the man's death in 1967.

It was here that Cameron spent the remaining years of his professional life doing research under the auspices of the Human Ecology Fund, a known front for the CIA's infamous MK-Ultra experiments. These experiments have fascinated researchers for decades, at least since they first began to become public knowledge in the early 1970s. Over the years much speculation has centered around the intention and (most importantly) ultimate findings of these experiments, with the official party line denouncing them as colossal and embarrassing failures while conspiracy theorists have alleged that they were instrumental in developing a practical means of mind control. Frequently the latter take is incorporated into more grandiose plots typically involving the ever popular Project Monarch theories.

Over the course of this series I shall examine the life and times of the enigmatic Dr. Cameron as well as some of the more incredible allegations leveled against him. In the first part of this series I shall primarily focus on outlining verifiable biographical details of Cameron's life before getting into some of the more incredible stuff. Still, some of this information will be highly important when later revelations emerge. So with this in mind, let us turn our attention to the background of the man some have labeled as the CIA's version of Josef Mengele.  (more...)

Violent Anti-Semitism Is Gripping Ukraine — And The Government Is Standing Idly By

A wave of anti-Semitism has swept over Ukraine. In the past three weeks alone, a far-right leader publicly called for cleansing Ukraine of zhidi (a slur equivalent to “kike”); a Holocaust memorial in Ternopil was bombed; hundreds marched through Lviv, ) in honor of an SS unit, complete with Nazi salutes; “Death to Zhidi” graffiti was scrawled in two cities; a revered rabbi’s tomb was vandalized; a Romani camp in Kiev was attacked and burned by far-right nationalists, and hundreds rocked out at a neo-Nazi concert clad in swastikas and throwing up Nazi salutes.

This outpouring of hatred got the attention of the World Jewish Congress, which put out a short video condemning the surge of anti-Semitism:

Ukraine is currently witnessing an unprecedented new surge of anti-Semitism. Last month alone, there were over 12 well-documented incidents of anti-Semitism. It must stop. pic.twitter.com/o6Cmm3LLCt

— (((WJC))) (@WorldJewishCong) May 3, 2018

Shortly afterward, Ukrainian president Petro Poroshenko issued a press release affirming his commitment to combating anti-Semitism. In turn, WJC president Ronald Lauder thanked Poroshenko for his statement, which made Lauder feel “gratified.”

But we shouldn’t heave a sigh of relief just yet. Unfortunately, WJC’s willingness to accept Poroshenko’s word is premature. Over the past four years of Poroshenko’s presidency, Ukraine has experienced a steady growth of anti-Semitism, including the glorification of Nazi collaborators, vandalism of Jewish sites and public threats against Jews — and the rate of anti-Semitic incidents appears to be escalating.  (more...)

Hating, Dating, and Procreating: Online Dating and the Alt-Right

Lonely racists are turning to dating apps to find love in a movement defined by hate. The racist alt-right is, crucially, a movement seeking esteem and status for resentful white men who believe they have been sidelined in modern society.

The loose movement holds extreme, toxic and profoundly maladjusted attitudes to gender roles. A central uniting belief in the alt-right is that feminism has led women to selfishly prioritise their own autonomy over their duties to the family, neglecting their biological desire to become the “trad wives” (traditional spouses) of “alpha males”. Whilst a handful of figures (such as Jack Donovan) advocate rejecting all female contact and embracing of male-only enclaves, most in the alt-right see the establishment of “traditional” relationships and the subordination of women in the private sphere, where they can focus on increasing the white birth rate, as central to the restoration of white male pride.

Such jaundiced views are presumably key to explaining the dearth of women in the movement; alt-right figurehead Richard Spencer has estimated that women constitute just one-fifth of the movement’s followers (even despite his reported claims that women secretly desire alt-right boyfriends due to their “alpha sperm”). There appears to be some truth in the longstanding joke on the popular message board 4chan – which has been key in the development of the alt-right – that its users are lonely man-children dwelling in their mother’s basements.

To remedy this, some on the alt-right have turned to online dating sites, infiltrating mainstream services and even creating alternative sites, with the explicit aim of helping those involved in far-right politics bond.  (more...)

State of the Realm: UK Organized Crime is Becoming more Global and Dangerous to Citizens

Organized crime and the rise in gang activity “affects more UK citizens, more often, than any other security threat,” according to a report released on Monday by the UK’s National Crime Agency.

Organized crime continues to grow through abusing technology and working cross-borders, creating an ever greater threat to national security. The UK also continues to be a prime destination for money laundering by corrupt officials from abroad, especially Russia, Nigeria and Pakistan, the report said.

 Modern slavery and human trafficking is “continually and gradually increasing” and gun crimes are on the rise, which the report links to an increase in weapons being imported across the border from Europe.

 Firearm offences increased by 27 percent in 2016 and 2017 and drugs deaths are at their highest level since recording began in 1993.

 Drug networks are active in every part of the UK and involving more vulnerable young people in their operations, resulting in more “associated violent crime.”

 Individuals and communities across the country experience more violence and intimidation through being caught in the crossfire of rivaling gangs, territorial control, and extortion.  (more...)

'She's a demon': Teacher pleads guilty to sexually assaulting 14-year-old boy

In a packed Ottawa courtroom Friday, a former middle school teacher pleaded guilty to sexually assaulting a then 14-year-old boy who she taught in her classroom and coached on the basketball court.

Kyla Cowan-Wilson entered her guilty plea in front of the victim and his family — all of whom can't be named because of a court-ordered publication ban protecting the victim's identity — and more than a dozen of their supporters.

While the victim's parents and two sisters read their victim impact statements, Cowan-Wilson looked directly at them but showed little emotion, even as they wept.

Court heard details of how Cowan-Wilson used her position of trust to groom and prey upon the boy from September 2013 to September 2014, while she was teaching at Sir Winston Churchill Public School in Nepean.

The assault happened after the boy graduated from her Grade 8 class.  (more...)

#NXIVM: Cult Leader Was Holocaust Denier?!

Breakups can be brutal and scorned lovers can act psychotic, but imagine leaving a dude and have him call you in a Nazi in a past life! That happened to former NXIVM member and Keith Raniere ex Toni Natalie, but wait, there’s more…Keith Raniere, leader of NXIVM and the most insane person to claim he was the smartest man in the world, was also under the impression that the Holocaust was not really as bad as what is stated in the history books – or as survivors can personally attest to. I have a great aunt who underwent experiments by Josef Mengele, but Keith would say I was lying. Trust me when I say he wouldn’t have wanted to meet her.

According to Artvoice.com, Clare and Sarah Bronfman (the Seagram heiresses funding and helping to run NXIVM) gave Keith millions for commodities trading and he lost the money without much explanation. So, in true cult leader fashion, he blamed their father Edgar Bronfman for foiling the trades claiming that Edgar knew Keith knew the Holocaust was a Zionist sham. Of course we all know the Bronfman family is a Jewish family that has historically donated philanthropically to many important causes. It’s just a shame that Clare and Sarah have tarnished that family name through this insane cult.  Here’s what Artvoice.com says that Keith claimed, with a little background preceding it:

“Edgar Bronfman  was President of the World Jewish Congress [from 1979-2007.] He was also President of the World Jewish Restitution Organization, whose stated objective is to ensure “…the return of communal Jewish property stolen by the Nazis and then by the communists in Eastern Europe, and property in Western Europe stolen by the Nazis and unaccounted for.

The conflict lay, Mr. Raniere explained, not in that he had an uplifting influence over the daughters of one of the leaders of the Jews but that Mr. Raniere knew something that threatened the foundations of the life work of Edgar Bronfman – and the powers of the Jewish world.  (more...)

Sudbury teacher needs help, ex-student says

A former student testified Wednesday that a Sudbury teacher facing sex charges "needs help" and shouldn't be allowed to teach again.

The student, who is now 19, described how Damir Bulic allegedly plied him with gifts and alcohol when he was a boy and how he performed a number of sexual acts in front of him.

The man said he would be a different person today if he had never met Bulic.

"I was 12 years old," he said. "I was getting food, money, clothes, gifts, getting pulled out of class," he said. "I don't believe I would be smoking. I think I would be a different person growing up with my parents and everything ... To go through that is just wrong. For someone in society to do that, especially a teacher, is unbelievable ...

"When I was younger, everyone at school thought he was a cool teacher. I was getting alcohol all the time. At that point, at 12 years old, getting a $1,000, a laptop ... But now, I feel like I wouldn't be the guy I am now. I would be a lot different."

The man also said he believes Bulic should no longer teach.

"Mr. Bulic never abused me or tried to touch me, but I think he needs help. I don't want him to do that to anyone else as a child ... I don't think Mr. Bulic should be allowed in a classroom. I never want to see my kid in a classroom with a teacher like that. I think he needs help. It wasn't right what he was doing and he should be punished."  (more...)

The Racist Podcaster Who Started a Neo-Nazi Coffee Company to Fund White Nationalism

In the spring of 2017, Thomas White had an idea: What if he combined his love of gourmet coffee with his staunch belief in a white ethnostate?

In caffeinated circles, White was already well-known. Espresso Joya, which he opened in 2015, was a fixture of Thunder Bay, Ontario’s small but vibrant arts scene. The walls of the coffee shop, located in the town’s trendy Waterfront District, served as a revolving gallery for local artists. Joya’s small stage regularly hosted a mostly-acoustic plethora of singer-songwriters, and its shelves were stocked with local food and goods.

The quality of Joya’s espresso, hyped by locals and out of town Yelp users alike, completed this artsy smorgasbord. “It’s all about doing really exceptional quality in terms of the quality and the product as well as providing a really nice space for local artists,” White said in a short 2017 documentary on Thunder Bay’s coffee scene. An accredited teacher, he taught drawing art at the local arts centre and was a volunteer firefighter.

Online, White was the antithesis of this very earnest coffee shop owner. For the last six months, under the alias “League of the North,” White has co-hosted “This Hour Has 88 Minutes,” the most popular white supremacist podcast in the country.

The podcast’s title, a riff on the CBC comedy show with a nod to 88, or the numerical representation of “Heil Hitler,” speaks to the show’s format and ethos: a white nationalist take on the news replete with racial epithets, misogyny, and conspiracy theories, coupled with Holocaust denials and the occasional veiled call for violence. And White wanted to get his coffee into the hands of 88 Minutes listeners, as well as anyone else with pride in their white skin.  (more...)

Teacher had sex with watermelon, ex-student tells Sudbury trial

A teacher once demonstrated how he had sex with a watermelon, a former student told the Sudbury man's sex trial on Tuesday.

"We started having conversations about pornography and stuff," the now 19-year-old man recalled while testifying at Damir Bulic's Superior Court trial. "He showed me what he did with the watermelon. He had sex with it. He took a knife, cut a hole and had sex with it ...

"I was three, four feet away. It was kind of weird ... It was pretty out of the blue that he did that. There was no indication he was going to do that."

The student said the sex happened when he was alone at the Bulic home near the end of the school year or early summer in 2011.

Bulic, 46, who is not in custody, is facing four counts of performing an indecent act and one count of invite sexual touching, all allegedly involving the same male minor from Sept. 1, 2010 to Sept. 30, 2011, in southern Ontario.

The alleged indecent acts include exposing genitals to and masturbation in front of the teen.

After the incident with the watermelon, the student said he and Bulic put some steaks on the barbecue and had a smoke and beer, something they frequently did. He said the incident did not affect his friendship with Bulic, as "I never really thought of it at that age."  (more...)

New Canadian anti-hate network looks to co-ordinate efforts against far-right extremism

It’s the same old-fashioned racism wrapped in modern bits and bytes.

Like pollutants in a river, overt racism has surfaced again in Canada. It is based on a fear of being overtaken by “the other” but is disguised as a “preference” for the white race in the interest of the “preservation” of Canadian identity. It sets its sights mainly on Muslims and non-white people as well as on Jews, feminists, LGBTQ2 groups.

Public Safety Canada’s annual report on terrorist threats to Canada listed for the first time this year right-wing extremism as “a growing concern.”

Individuals who hold extreme right-wing views are predominantly active online, it said, thriving on a “culture of fear, hatred and mistrust by exploiting real or imagined concerns.”

In the non-virtual world, right-wing extremism manifests in “free speech” rallies, hate crimes and other forms of violence.

The activities of these white supremacists — as evinced in the gathering outside Ryerson’s University’s White Privilege conference last week — often fly below the radar of mainstream media that are ill equipped to monitor and report on such obscure ideologies.  (more...)

Canada Grants Former Roma MEP Viktória Mohácsi political asylum

Six years on, the Canadian authorities have granted Viktória Mohácsi political asylum. The Roma rights activist, former Member of the European Parliament and ex-ERRC staffer, requested asylum back in 2012.

In 2002, Viktória was appointed by Bálint Magyar, then Hungarian Minister of Education, as Commissioner for the Integration of Roma and Disadvantaged Children.  Between 2004 and 2009, Viktória represented Hungary in the ALDE group in European Parliament as a member of the now defunct Alliance of Free Democrats.

But, it was her work back in Hungary, documenting the lethal surge of neo-Nazi hate crimes against Roma that led to constant death threats against Viktória and her young family. Her Movement for Desegregation Foundation also exposed the racist neglect and incompetence of Hungarian law enforcement that allowed the killers to roam free for longer and kill and maim more Romani men, women and children.

When the serial killings started in 2008, Viktória travelled to each of the crime scenes, collecting information and pressing the police to investigate. When she came to Tatárszentgyôrgy following the murder of Robi Csorba and his five-year-old son Robika, gunned down by neo-Nazis as they fled their fire-bombed house, she confronted the police who claimed that the victims died as a result of an accident.  (more...)

Sex Abuse in Humanitarian Groups, Christian Ministries: Who Is Left to Trust?

Residents queue up to receive humanitarian aid at the Palestinian refugee
camp of Yarmouk, in Damascus

In the wake of reports that Christian humanitarian ministries have been caught up in a wide net of sexual abuse allegations, many questions have emerged over who can be trusted.

While abuse of any kind is denounced, it hits a particular nerve when the people who have pledged to protect and help those in the most vulnerable situations are the abusers themselves.

Boz Tchividjian, the grandson of the late evangelist Billy Graham and who has devoted his career to exposing and confronting sexual abuse in the Christian environment, said human nature "is a sinful nature."

"It doesn't matter what ministry you're in," he told The Christian Post.  (more...)

Boy was teacher's 'best friend' — Sudbury sex trial

A teacher went too far when he bought a student a one-day ticket to Croatia so the boy could join him and his family on vacation, the alleged victim's mother told a Sudbury court Monday.

The mother testified the family was getting concerned about the Damir Bulic attention paid to their son, including gifts of expensive clothing, an overnight trip to Canada's Wonderland, cash and a laptop computer, the mother said.

The family drew the line when the teacher paid for a trip in July 2011 to Croatia, the mother said.

"I told (my son) he would not be going to Croatia," the mother testified on the first day of the trial of Bulic, who is facing five sex-related charges involving the boy dating back almost seven years.

"I could not believe (Bulic) went out and bought the ticket. He didn't think that I would like it, but he would provide me with a proper structure if I insisted."

Bulic, 46, who is not in custody, is facing four counts of performing an indecent act and one count of invite sexual touching, all allegedly involving the same male teen minor from Sept. 1, 2010, to Sept. 30, 2011, in southern Ontario.

The alleged indecent acts include exposing genitals to and masturbation in front of the teen.  (more...)

Making Britain Great Again? Tommy Robinson’s ‘Day for Freedom’

The “Kekistan” flag flying on the DFLA demo is modelled on the war flag of
Nazi Germany (inset).

Thousands of racists, far right activists and fascists marched through central London and staged a festival of hate outside Downing Street on Sunday 6 May. We want to set this event in a wider context – it illustrates how the far right is operating today and how it is drawing on trends across Europe and America. It marks a new departure even from previous mobilisations by Tommy Robinson and the Football Lads Alliance.

More than 5,000 took part all told, with up to 3,000 joining a feeder march organised by the Democratic Football Lads Alliance (DFLA) from Speaker’s Corner to the rally staged by “Tommy Robinson” (real name Stephen Yaxley-Lennon) in Whitehall.

Precise numbers were hard to gauge – many of those of the DFLA feeder march did not go all the way to the rally, with large numbers preferring to go to the pub instead. At Whitehall, it was clear a different broader crowd had come directly to the rally, and large groups continued to arrive throughout the more than three-hour event.

But the scale and prestigious nature of the so-called “Day for Freedom” marked something new on the far right in Britain. Not since Oswald Mosley’s fascist rallies in Olympia and at the Royal Albert Hall in the 1930s have we seen such a professional set-up for the far right in Britain.  (more...)
