WCAI Planning On (and Looking Forward To) Engaging in Violence Saturday

As August 11, the day of the planned Worldwide Coalition Against Islam event in Toronto, approaches, Ward 27 Councillor Kristyn Wong-Tam issued the following statement regarding the hate rally on Twitter:

<./center>

Now regardless of whether or not they've been issued a permit, it seems that the city isn't going to try to stop them despite obviously running afoul of the City of Toronto's Hate Activity Policy:
But in a response late Wednesday afternoon from Omo Akintan, Acting Director of Equity, Diversity and Human Rights for Toronto, B’nai Brith was told the rally will go on as planned. 
“The City of Toronto is aware of the planned protest… in Nathan Phillips Square by the Worldwide Coalition Against Islam (WCAI) and shares B'nai Brith's concerns,” Akintan wrote. 
“The City has a Hate Activity Policy with which users of public spaces are expected to comply. The policy prohibits use of City facilities and spaces for hate activity as defined in the Policy. We will continue to enforce the policy. The City will not tolerate, ignore, or condone illegal discrimination or harassment including any rally that incites hatred and/or violence against groups or persons. 
“To that end, the City has already taken actions to address this matter which includes the preparation of an event plan with the Toronto Police Service that has the life safety of everyone as the primary concern.
This is further explained in a "Canadian Jewish News" article posted today:
There were some rumblings online that organizers were not granted a permit for the rally, but permits are not issued for rallies or protests at Nathan Phillips Square, according to City of Toronto spokesperson Jaclyn Carlisle. 
That frustrates Toronto Ward 10 Councillor James Pasternak, who’s been after the city for months to develop a policy on hate groups that use municipal property. 
“This is a big problem and this is what we’re trying to get our city staff to act on,” he told The CJN. 
“These kinds of gatherings are an affront to everybody. They’re repugnant. They’re not in keeping with our anti-discrimination policy,” Pasternak said. 
He said permits are required if a gathering has a sound system and seating. Saturday’s protest doesn’t appear to require those, if past protests are an indication. 
Toronto “needs a strong policy to put an end to this kind of hate rally.”
So, "the City will not tolerate, ignore, or condone illegal discrimination or harassment including any rally that incites hatred and/or violence against groups and persons."

Soooo, would this post from the WCAI Toronto event page be proof of enough that they plan on committing acts of violence?


And this one from back in July?


Or maybe threatening certain journalists by name?


Dude, posting the page doesn't make any of ya'll look good.

Could this be proof that Joey Deluca, his WCAI, and their supporters intend to incite, "hatred and/or violence against groups and persons":






Really though, none of this is especially new. ARC has exposed the WCAI and their supporters as racists, antisemites, Islamophobes, and homophobic time and time again.

That said, the WCAI is running into some problems fundraising for their event:


This Go Fund Me page was soon removed by the folks who run the crowd sourcing site, as was the second one that the WCAI created. Given the amount they likely got during their most recent fundraiser, it should be enough to get them to Moose Jaw:





Now Joey and company might have already saved their nickles and have enough to pay for the trip to Toronto, but they certainly aren't doing well recouping those expenses if they have.

Danforth Shooting: Islamophobes Continue To Push Disinformation and False Information As Truth

It has been a little over a week since the horrible tragedy in Toronto's Danforth area occurred that resulted in the murder of a young woman and a child with more than a dozen injured. Right now this is what is known:



It was also stated that the shooter was born in Canada by people familiar with the family.

Other than that precious little is known about the motives of the shooter and, much like the shooting that occurred in Las Vegas, it may take months of investigative work and even then a definitive motive might not be discovered to anyone's satisfaction.

Then again, the police could always just rely on the beliefs of a 25 year old, unemployed, drifter:




I'm not going to include the screen shots of comments for these particular posts, but I'm sure the readers can guess their content easily enough based previous examples.

Suffice it to say though that very little of what Myatt wrote is actually true and what is true is wildly mischaracterized. For example, ISIS did take credit for the attack. Perhaps after an investigation it will be determined that the shooter was motivated in whole or in part by an extremist ideology, but considering that ISIS also took credit for the Las Vegas massacre it seems that Myatt is far too willing to believe a violent terrorist group that has been known to lie in recent years because it fits a narrative he had already believed and had been promoting. There's also absolutely no evidence to suggest that the shooter spent any time in Afghanistan or that he was a "trained killer" or that he was a refugee, but since they are so eager to place blame on the government for it's immigration and refugee policies, the shooter will be labeled as a refugee regardless of the truth.

In fact, truth be damned.

Steven Myatt is exhibiting a classic case of confirmation bias which certain fringe websites and partisan "news" have been keen to push for fun and profit:


Myatt isn't alone in his desire to jump to conclusions and to rely on erroneous information because it fits a narrative:




A recent Global News article noted the proliferation of false information (ie. lies) in the wake of the shooting that is being disseminated online. The article mentioned three instances where images were being spread that purport to prove the shooter was a Jihadist refugee who trained with ISIS and was allowed into the country by Trudeau (apparently via personal invitation). The problem is that none of it is true:
  • A photo claiming to be the shooter is of a 17 year old named Talha Asmal who joined ISIS in 2015 and who killed himself in a suicide bombing.
  • A man from the UK with the same name as the shooter who was sentenced to four years in 2016 for stalking a woman and engaging in a campaign of terror against her.
  • A series of photos that purport to be the shooter but are in fact of people who look nothing like him.
All three of these examples were found in the social media sites I monitor.

Confrontation Taking Place Near The Tower in Hamilton.

Charlene O'Farrell and members of the Soldiers of Odin showed up at The Tower in Hamilton this evening looking to antagonize the people there. Indications are that at least some of the bigots had been drinking.

O'Farrell posted this video as incident occurred


People commenting on the Live Feed were urging the bigots to attack the anti-fascists. When the police arrived, Steven Myatt urged the bigots to run:





In a previous video posted by O'Farrell, it was clear that the SoO members were not happy with the events earlier in the day which were horribly disorganized and were spoiling for a fight. This is made more clear by a second video taken by Ronny Cameron who, along with members of the Proud Boys, had attempted to initiate a confrontation at the Tower earlier in the day:



The racial epithet by one of the Proud Boy members near the end of the video is a nice touch.

A few of the comments left on Cameron's video include the following:














And because middle age Proud "Boy" Robert Jones has to make it weird:


The comments regarding the idiot who groped the young woman and was called out on it were as repulsive as you would imagine:



More information may be provided is anything else occurs.

Racist March and Counter-Protest in Hamilton: Updates

Yeah, yeah, I slept in a little later than I thought I would.


I'm going to provide updates here concerning the planned racist march on Locke Street as well as the counter-protest. Thus far there seems to be a significant presence by those who have shown up to oppose the bigots. Mack Lamoureux of "Vice Canada" Has been updating on Twitter:

When asked about numbers on the bigots' and counter-protesters' side, Mack stated the following:

And with that....



The following are miscellaneous tweets from other participants:


The bigots however are rather inexplicably declaring victory. Robert Jones posted the following almost an hour ago:


Yep, that's right. A group of them, including Jones, showed up hours earlier to avoid the confrontation.


Because, you know, alphas.

Pictures Jones posted of mostly empty streets and bigots trying to put on a brave face include some of the following:













Jesus, they look like they would rather be anywhere else in this photo. This is sort of what defeat looks like.






Soooo, the brave "patriots" came early to avoid the larger group of counter-protesters? I can't help noticing that the organizer of the march, Shawn McBeath, doesn't seem to be present. For example, Robert Jones failed to mention the change of plans to Ronny Cameron for one:


Jones bragged about marching for half an hour and running away. He also bragged on comments under Ronny's video:


Wow. That is some fine turd polishing there Robert.

And did they let the other bigots know that this was the plan since some of them evidently did arrive at the right time and place? Talk about not leaving any man behind....


I mean, he's really pushing this narrative hard!




Irony abounds.

Jones isn't the only turd polisher however. Shawn McBeath sent this writer the following message:


I was about to write:
Not my words. Your own. You organized an event. People went to it. And you left at least one group to face the counter protester alone.  
Besides, I'm not the only one who holds this view. 
Your buddy Ronny Cameron showed up along with some Proud Boys. Very disappointed. Also called out the organizers in another video.
In reference to one of those videos when he and his small group began harassing a group of anti-fascists who repeatedly told Cameron they were not interested in talking to him and that he should leave:


Sadly, the alpha male Shawn McBeath blocked this and further messages:


Such a snowflake.

Charlene O'Farrell who runs Canadians United 4 Canada also posted a video in which she and a Soldier of Odin member express their disappointment:




O'Farrell posted a second video which indicates just how much of a mess was made of this event despite Jones' and McBeath's claims of unparalleled success:
