On December 10, 2021, after a grueling eight-day trial in Toronto, Judge Robert Goldstein ruled pro-family activist Bill Whatcott was not guilty of “willful promotion of hatred.” That absurd charge centered around a flyer that Bill and others passed out five years earlier at the 2016 Toronto Gay Pride Parade. It contained religious messages and warnings about the health dangers of homosexual sex. But the state insisted that it was “hateful.”

Two weeks after the judge’s ruling, Mr. Rosen received notice that Ottawa’s Attorney General had filed for an appeal of the acquittal, and was served with the official Notice of Appeal.
Most Americans are unfamiliar with that concept. The US Constitution’s Fifth Amendment prohibits a person being “put in jeopardy” twice for the same crime. In the U.S., a person can appeal his conviction, but the state cannot appeal a “not guilty” verdict.

“The trials will continue until we get a guilty verdict.”
Oh, Canada!
In the 20th century we defeated the Nazis in WWII only to have the Fourth Reich resurrected north of the US border in the 21st century.

Turn it around. Charge the AG with hate for this guy.
Malicious prosecution
BTTT
REcriminalize homosexual sodomy, nationwide. Everything else will fall into place.
The appeal will go before a three-judge panel and will most likely be heard this fall. But Attorney Rosen is certain that whatever happens there, it will eventually go to the Supreme Court of Canada. That is how insanely obsessed the government is to aggressively stamp out any public dissent on the LGBT issue.Until now, Attorney Rosen’s fees to represent Bill were paid through government grants that are available to indigent “criminal” defendants. However, appeals are different. Bill must raise $50,000 to pay for the upcoming legal fees. You can donate to Bill’s legal defense here. We can say this much with certainty: John Rosen is a brilliant defense attorney and worth whatever fee he charges.

The left knows that if we get one crack in their false veneer, their whole house comes down.................
In the US, if the government doesn’t like an acquittal, they bring another set of charges. Remember the cops in the Rodney King trial.
If they fail to convict in state court the feds call it a civil rights violation and try again.
