In the matter of Interim Prohibitory Orders issued against Leroy
St. Germaine, Lawrence Victor St. Germaine and Dr. James Sears and Your Ward
News.
To the Board of Review
It has become clear that the Board of Review
is attempting to sweep this whole matter under the carpet, No less than a week
after the board sent out a communique on the Constitutional issues, the Liberal
government follows up with charges of hate crimes against the newspaper!
As recently as October 19, 2017, David
Hopkinson, a media relations spokesman for the Toronto Police, told the media
“We get complaints about the publication all the time. Every time, we
investigate. Every time, we take this quite seriously.” To date, he
added, “it is determined not to be a hate crime.”
In January 2017, Toronto Police spokesman
Mark Pugash said “The law is clear. It has to balance, as all things do,
freedom of speech with speech that is considered beyond the bounds of free
speech, ... Our investigators have done this for a while. They know what is
required, they’re good at what they do. If there is sufficient evidence they
then go to the next step.” The article then stated "A previous
police investigation into the content of Your Ward News found NO LAWS WERE
VIOLATED."
How can they BACKDATE the charges to the
March 2015 issue? The timing is highly suspicious. Warrants issued
for the arrests of the Editor and Publisher a few days after a decision from
the Board of Review basically stated that no evidence of hate speech was
provided by Minster Foote?
Now at the request of Warren Kinsella
and Richard Warman the Board is seriously considering suspending these hearings
until these trumped up hate charges are dealt with? Since when did the opinions
of Kinsella and Warman have more merit than anybody else given standing at this
farce of a hearing? Also why is this board moving so quickly to consider
suspending these hearings when it has done nothing but drag its feet and draw out
these proceedings as long as it possibly could over the last year?
Over the past year I have received
numerous e-mails from concerned Canadians who believe that the decision to
suspend the mailing privileges of Your Ward News was a politically motivated
decision due to our exposing of Liberal party corruption both federally and
provincially. It is becoming clear to the general public that Liberal party
insiders such as the Kinsellas and Richard Warman are orchestrating a Witch
Hunt, manipulated Federal MP Judy Foote into taking the action she did and that
you, The Board of Review seem to be playing right along.
The fact that the government of Canada has
even made these decisions is a travesty of Justice and a blow to freedom of
speech and freedom of the press for all Canadians. I warn you all right now the
country is watching what you are doing and the decisions of this Board of
Review will be talked about for years to come. These charges that have been
laid are not an excuse for you to just take the money and run. This is not an
easy out for you no matter what Warren Kinsella and Richard Warman are
suggesting. You three must now ask yourselves which side of history you wish to
come down on, the side of free speech and freedom of the press or that of back
room corrupt crony politics?
My suggestion is you continue with this
hearing without delay and make your recommendations to the minister before
these charges come to court to avoid the appearance of collusion and bias on
your part.
