Five years ago in 2021 a leftist Canadian journalist by the name of Duncan Kinney reported on the defacement of a statue. Here is the first paragraph of his report as it appeared in his Progress Report story, "Nazi collaborator monuments in Edmonton defaced with red paint and words 'Actual Nazi' and “Nazi Monument.”
Edmonton's statue of Roman Shukhevych, an infamous Ukrainian Nazi collaborator, has once again been defaced with red paint. This time, a second local monument—a memorial honouring the 14th Waffen SS Division—was targeted as well.
Although his periodical, Progress Report, is a far left publication, to its credit that paragraph was followed by an important editorial update on Monday:
Editor’s note: On October 19, 2026, Duncan Kinney admitted in a statement to the courts that the vandal of this statue was in fact himself. For transparency’s sake, we are keeping his article up. Mr. Kinney left The Progress Report in early 2025 and will not return.

Fake Hate Crimes - Odd how journalists go out of their way to ignore stories like this. So here’s a ‘journalist’ doing what so many of them dream of - committing a fake hate crime.
