The Canadian Catholic church and its members, many of whom are Indigenous or immigrants, were last year buffeted by a horrendous 260 per cent spike in hate crimes.
Catholics were subject to a far higher escalation in police-reported hate incidents than any other religious or racial group, according to a Statistics Canada study.
A Calgary man has been charged with multiple counts of criminal harassment after the CPS hate crime team investigated a number of threats that were found to be hate-motivated.
Calgary police said they received reports around 8 p.m. on Oct. 11 that a man had called and made threats to staff and the church congregation at the All Saints Russian Orthodox Church on 8 Ave. N.E. Police said it is believed the church was targeted because of its Russian heritage and have deemed the threats to be hate-motivated, a news release said Thursday.
Viral videos of senseless violence have captured public attention since crime began rising in 2020. Some of the most extreme examples are attacks against Asian-Americans. Earlier this year, for instance, three teens and an 11-year-old, all black, beat and kicked in the head a 70-year-old woman in San Francisco. Yet many academics, advocates, and reporters argue that these cases leave a false impression. “While news reports and social media have perpetuated the idea that anti-Asian violence is committed mostly by people of color,” reported NBC News last year, “a new analysis shows the majority of attackers are white.” Unfortunately, the crime against 70-year-old Mrs. Ren is representative in many ways.

Canada has a growing problem not only with free speech but free thought, and the Canadian Anti-Hate Network is leading the charge to silence unpopular opinion.
The Canadian Anti-Hate Network (CAHN) is a federally funded organization that claims to monitor far-right hate groups in Canada, including neo-Nazis. Among its other targets are anyone critical of gender identity ideology, including feminists, women’s rights organizations, and those advocating to stop the medical harm caused by childhood gender transition.

Hate crime reports in Canada surged during COVID-19 pandemic: StatCan
Hate crimes reported by police are on the rise in Canada amid the COVID-19 pandemic as lockdowns and other virus-related measures disrupted everyday life.
A new report released by Statistics Canada on Tuesday showed that 3,360 hate crimes were reported by police last year, representing a 27 per cent increase compared with 2020 and a 72 per cent jump over the span of two years.
You have to love how the surge wasn’t even mentioned by Trudeau’s lackey press. I have no doubt it was in large part due to Trudeau’s tacit approval.
How many prosecutions have their been? Over 50 churches burned at last count.

Is he Tibetan?
For a long-time, many of us have had the sense that things in Canada are completely upside down.
Yet, the past few days have made that even more clear than ever before.
We now live in a nation where law-abiding Canadians are criminalized even as criminals face lighter and lighter punishments.
Dem Rep. Joyce Beatty gave a speech with Nancy Pelosi in attendance during which she blamed a shooting at a hair salon in Dallas on a “white supremacist replacement theorist,” the only problem being the gunman was black.
