An Ontario man who called a trio of ‘drag queen story hour’ performers “groomers” has been ordered to pay them $380,000 in restitution, in a landmark decision that will shape anti-LGBTQ speech in Canada for years to come.
Three years ago, Brian Webster, who ran a Facebook page in Thunder Bay, Ontario, saw an article in the CBC about an upcoming ‘drag queen story hour.’ Commenting on a story, Webster wrote:
TAXPAYER FUNDED CBC REPORTER JON THOMPSON HAS AN AGENDA TO PROMOTE.
ASK YOURSELF WHY THESE PEOPLE NEED TO PERFORM FOR CHILDREN?
GROOMERS. That’s the agenda. Just look at the face of the one child in the photo. Tells you all you need to know.
Your tax dollars pay Jon Thompson to promote this stuff.

Commenters to his post responded with, “It’s a mental illness that’s been allowed and enabled for far too long…WHY do these deranged people insist on ‘reading for children’….** off with your bs you ******* pedophiles.” and “It is all about G[r]ooming our Children.”
According to court documents: “Webster positively reinforced by reacting with “likes” or laughing-face emojis.”
The performers featured in the article sued for defamation over the suggestion that they were involved in pedophilia.
And they won.
Thunder Bay Superior Court Justice Helen Pierce wrote in her judgement:
“The defendant intended to smear the reputations of the individual plaintiffs and RAD with the message that they used their drag queen/king persona and activities to groom children for sexual abuse.
There could hardly be a more damning message than that, spread across the internet. The message was clearly understood by Mr. Webster’s readership: he called the plaintiffs pedophiles.”
Commenting on the ruling, Felicia Crichton, one of the performer, was ecstatic, warning:
“I want them to know that they need to be afraid to be bigots again, because we’re tired of it. They seem to believe that there were glory days when they were allowed to believe this with absolutely no recourse. And I think that the only truth in that is that there was a time when social media didn’t connect us so quickly, and it wasn’t so easy to have a paper trail of everything that you’ve said. There are receipts now.”
This is why Trump wants to kick the globalists/socialists out of Canada.
What does Governor Trudeau have to say about this? 🤡
After seeing pictures of these drag persons, I’ve concluded that this kind of drag is as much a mockery of women and womanhood as blackface is to blacks,
It certainly even bears less resemblance.
I’ve ***NEVER*** ever seen a real live woman dress as these drag pervert groomers do. Their get ups often look downright Satanic. Probably a reflection of the demons controlling them.
Aside from this being a travesty, I wonder how that dollar amount was arrived at?
I presume it was the whim of the liberal “judge”....ruin someone’s financial life for nothing more than calling them a name.
This is what Democrats want here - even though they do WAY more name-calling than our side does.
This Canadian judge could be subject to sanctions by the US government like someone in Iran or China would be over ‘human rights’.
Something to think about.

Not one red cent would I pay. I’d burn everything not easily portable that I own in Canada, to the ground and go somewhere they could never find me if they tried to pull that kind of crap on me.
That would be a prerequisite to Canada becoming state #51.
Gotta have standards.

Time to emigrate south and tell the sodomite fascists presently running Canada to go and **** themselves.
As if we want to add Ontario and Quebec to the Electoral College. Some of the best jokes are the ones that are taken seriously by the stupid.
Drags are attempting to murder an innocent child's soul by influence down the road. Things are bad bad bad.
Jeez…. it’s now a crime in Canada to speak a TRUTH.
Drag Queen Story Hour hosts ARE “Groomers”.
I’d have something a little more kinetic in store.
In times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act.
G. Orwell
This why we want the Anschluss.
By the Lord’s Mercy, if it happens, a lot of these perverts will flee to Europe etc.
And we will be able to restrict the rest w/o running into some Woke Legal Regime making them a Protected Class.
