Big payoff for this guy...

Big debt for Kevin Johnston. Lol
Do white supremacists get insurance for dangers of the job?
Cos I doubt he can pay.

Kevin Johnston is also facing trial on criminal charges of "wilfully promoting hatred", possible 2 year sentence.

These types seem to be crashing against the legal system as their own hubris drives them to self-destruction.

This isn't a "grey area" type case. This reads like just pure outright slander, libel, and defamation.   It's so clear-cut that there's nothing to discuss.

What do the current laws in Canada say about hate speech? After reading the article, it seems that the defendant engaged in libel/slander.

From the article:

He has also been ordered not to communicate with a Muslim lawyer and two politicians, whose names are all covered under a publication ban.

From the Criminal Code of Canada:

Public incitement of hatred

319 (1) Every one who, by communicating statements in any public place, incites hatred against any identifiable group where such incitement is likely to lead to a breach of the peace is guilty of

(a) an indictable offence and is liable to imprisonment for a term not exceeding two years; or

(b) an offence punishable on summary conviction.

Wilful promotion of hatred

(2) Every one who, by communicating statements, other than in private conversation, wilfully promotes hatred against any identifiable group is guilty of

(a) an indictable offence and is liable to imprisonment for a term not exceeding two years; or

(b) an offence punishable on summary conviction.

This is an example of these self-righteous morons meeting their final challenge: the laws that they have no respect for, which they think they can supercede.

Like the sovereign citizens who think they can do whatever they want, it will end badly for them.
