On Sept. 16, 2026, Toronto Superior Court Judge Anne Malloy announced her verdict that Bill Whatcott is “Guilty” of “Wilful Promotion of Hate.”
This follows the five-day re-trial this past May on the flyer he passed out ten years ago at the 2016 Toronto Pride parade. The flyer was filled with Bible verses, medical information on health risks, political commentary, and images.
The judge laid out her reasons in a shockingly hostile and vitriolic 43-page document filled with LGBTQ jargon.
Sentencing will take place on December 16. Bill is free on bail until then. His likely prison time will be one to two years. According to Bill, his lawyers are considering an appeal.
... The government (“the Crown”) obsessively pursued this absurd “hate speech” conviction.
As we’ve reported, at his trial in 2021 Bill was acquitted (by an honest judge). But the Crown successfully appealed the acquittal (double jeopardy is legal in Canada) and a second trial was held. This time they got their guilty verdict.
It appears that Judge Molloy (along with judges across Canada in similar cases) extracted what she wanted from the evidence and Bill’s testimony, then applied a very liberal interpretation of the statute to create the scenario she wanted.
In her filing, Molloy did not mince words regarding her animosity against the flyer and Bill personally:..
He is far from a simple Christian missionary seeking to convert sinners. He is an activist and an attention-seeker. He loves the spectacle of what he did, he enjoyed the attention, and he continues to do so …
I find there is a clear tone of hatred … I agree with the Crown's submission that Mr. Whatcott has demonstrated a deep animus towards the gay community and this fueled his actions in distributing the flyer. He has described the gay lifestyle as an "abomination" and refers to it as the "homosexual sub-culture."

Some refugees I’d welcome...
Freedom-loving, hardworking, law-abiding Canadians who value our Constitution, and want to become American citizens.
President Trump should call this WITCH out by name and tell her she represents CANADA ITSELF IS OUT OF CONTROL WITH HATE.
If Canada wants a military fight with the USA, the people of Canada deserve everything that entails in response.
Canada is proudly putting a Christian in prison for his beliefs and embracing godless communists and Muslims.
The brilliance of our Declaration of Independence and the Bill of Rights shines thru by comparison.
This is horrible. Truly unbelievable.
Canada use to be a wonderful place...
Give it time, welcome to the DSA!
This place in no way resembles the proud, vibrant, honourable nation I grew up in.
This verdict confirms that the left is bent on the destruction of all that is good and right.
I pity the young.

It would take us longer to defeat a large American high school than Canada.
Insane - Canada has no statute of limitations for indictable offenses - or, evidently any “double jeopardy” laws, because the guy was originally tried and acquitted by a judge in 2021 - but the commies appealed his acquittal and retried him with their hand-picked commie “judge”.
burn down cities, murder or rape get a slap on the wrist if you are a leftist.
hand out a flier warning of the health risks of choosing a homo lifestyle, 2+ years in prison
And yet we have U.S. court decisions diluting 1A, 2A and other parts of the Constitution on a regular basis. Words matter (Constitution) but how they are understood/translated/interpreted matters more. We have a segment of our judiciary that 'interprets' the Constitution to say what it doesn't say - AND impose their interpretation on the nation. E.g., Why is it illegal for a lawful citizen to carry a concealed weapon when the 2A says we have a 'right' to bear arms? This is just one example of justices bastardizing the Constitution and our rights.
Another example of word corruption was the naming of Communist German, "German Democratic Republic (GDR)". Communist Germany was anything but democratic. Can you say gaslight?
He should apply for political asylum. Meets requirements doesn’t it.
I think conservatives here would be scared of him. Perhaps he should come here for an MRI or some other long wait Canadian procedure.
He should walk across our essentially unguarded northern border and apply for political asylum.
Bill needs to seek political asylum here. This is real persecution. Get your butt over the border, Bill. Seriously.
I’m guessing he’s not allowed out of the country from this point on , they probably already confiscated his passport
Our Congress is too obsessed with a nation bordering Russia to worry about what’s happening in nations bordering us.
The judge needs to be sanctioned as Putin is.
If the person is in a plane flying over the US (say to Cuba or Mexico) the plane should be required to land and the judge hauled off and tried for violating human rights.
Sanctions, now!
