The London, Ontario city hall actually passed a motion saying: “Civic Administration be directed to prepare the necessary formal council policy to confirm the prohibition of activities of organizations whose ideologies is contrary to the City of London are not permitted in civic spaces, and/or facilities and spaces.”
So only one point of view is allowed to be enunciated in public in London, Ontario. London Mayor Matt Brown has defamed the anti-Islamization rally as hateful, no doubt without any genuine consideration, much less discussion, debate, or appeal, and is moving to shut it down.
Canada, apparently, is no longer a free country, any more than Britain is.
“Policy advocate criticizing London council’s emergency motion as an ‘attack on free speech,’” by Liny Lamberink and Matthew Trevithick, AM980, August 23, 2017:
London City Hall is coming under fire for what some are calling an “attack on free speech”, after unanimously passing an emergency motion Tuesday night to stand against hatred and racism.
It comes in response to an anti-Islam rally scheduled on Saturday by the Canadian chapter of the German nationalist and far-right political movement Patriotic Europeans Against the Islamization of the West, or PEGIDA in its German abbreviation.
London Institute Executive Director Amir Farahi has accused council of making a “knee-jerk” reaction by condemning the activities of organizations whose ideologies are contrary to the city’s.
“[Mayor Matt Brown] said there’s no place in London for racism, bigotry, and hatred. Okay, I agree with you… but there certainly is a place for us to free assembly and for us to freely express ourselves,” Farahi said Wednesday on AM980’s The Andrew Lawton Show.
The motion is as follows: “That civic administration be directed to prepare the necessary formal council policy to confirm the prohibition of activities of organizations whose ideologies is contrary to the City of London are not permitted in civic spaces, and/or facilities and spaces.”
Farahi has launched a Change.org petition, calling on Mayor Matt Brown to repeal part of the motion.
“I’m quite disgusted by the fact that our fundamental rights, our constitutional rights here in Canada, in London, are basically being taken away from us under the guise of political correctness.”
He points out that victims of hate speech are already protected by hate speech laws, and violators face the full extent of the law….
Mayor Matt Brown has now committed to attending the counter-protest, despite saying in a radio interview this month that it would be inappropriate for him to attend and give unneeded attention to the anti-Islam group.
“I didn’t want to throw fuel in the fire,” he explained on AM980’s The Craig Needles Show.
“I’ve seen a ground swell of people moving toward attending the anti-hate rally, which I think is very positive. So I’ve moved my schedule around, and I want to join London and stand together, and just express that the vast majority of Londoners don’t accept hate.”…
“Stop the War on Free Speech in London, ON,” by Amir Farahi, Change.org, n.d.:
We the residents of London, Ontario demand that Mayor Matt Brown and the rest of City Council repeal the second part of a motion passed at City Hall on August 22, 2017 that states:
“Civic Administration be directed to prepare the necessary formal council policy to confirm the prohibition of activities of organizations whose ideologies is contrary to the City of London are not permitted in civic spaces, and/or facilities and spaces.”
This emergency motion was issued by Mayor Matt Brown at council calling on Londoners to stand against all forms of racism, bigotry and hatred.
Racism, bigotry and hatred have no place in London but our right to free speech does.
As Londoners, we are vehemently in opposition to any motion that is passed by this City Council that undermines our fundamental and constitutionals rights, freedoms, and laws under the guise of political correctness.
Andrew Sancton, the former head of Western University’s local government program and a highly respected academic in Canada said council’s vagueness could have serious consequences. “This is extremely dangerous because it looks like it’s almost limitless in its application, and it could cause all kinds of trouble,” Sancton said.
Our Charter of Rights and Freedoms grants every single person in Canada under section 2 with:
(a) freedom of conscience and religion;
(b) freedom of thought, belief, opinion and expression, including freedom of the press and other media of communication;
(c) freedom of peaceful assembly; and
(d) freedom of association.Londoners who are victims of hate speech are already protected by hate speech laws under sections 318-320 of the Criminal Code. If anyone or any group is in violation of the hate speech clause then they will face the full extent of the law. There is a difference between dangerous speech, which is crime, and offensive speech, which we have to tolerate even if we don’t like it.
City Council is not a court of justice. They should not be pre-determining who is innocent or guilty of a crime. They are elected to govern not to adjudicate. Any person(s) or organization (s) should be given a chance to exercise their rights as Canadians and considered innocent until proven guilty.
This City Council was also not elected to ride the coat tails of U.S. politics.
“Threats to freedom of speech, writing and action, though often trivial in isolation, are cumulative in their effect and, unless checked, lead to a general disrespect for the rights of the citizen.” – George Orwell

Change the protest to a down with Mayor Matt Brown and the rest of City Council. Vote the bums out of office!
Geezerbob says
I have just attended the rallies (Pegita and assorted “Love not Hate” groups) in London, Ontario. Only about 8 or so showed up to support Pegida vs. about a couple of hundred of the opposition. No surprise there! Pretty peaceful, but near the end there was a scuffle, and police marched off a woman in handcuffs. I don’t know what happened.
Jen says
40 to 50 showed up. Very peaceful, made the counters look like idiots.
Tom says
This obvious attempt at taking away Canadians’ right to assembly and free speech MUST be shut down immediately and in the most punishing way possible. This Mayor and Council must be brought before a court and branded publically as the FASCISTS that they are in their attempt to destroy our rights as Canadians.
If London Ontario voters don’t take defiant action against this and turf this Council then the rest of Canadians should ostracize them as they deserve.

True, Tom.
dwight hogg says
Heretic, by Ayn Hirsi Ali says it all about the likes of Mayor Matt Brown: “the majority of otherwise peaceful and law abiding Muslims are unwilling to acknowledge, much less repudiate, the theological warrant for intolerance and violence embedded in their own religious texts.” p. 12. The excuse that the religion has been hijacked by extremists doesn’t wash…they “cite the same religious texts that every other Muslim in the world considers sacrosanct.” Ms. Ali, Tarek Fatah, Raheel Raza and other like minded Muslims are aware and are trying to promote the reformation of Islam and reform and disavow the key beliefs that are used to justify those acts- jihad terrorism. She says also as citizens we need to stand up for our own principles – “we need to say to offended Muslims (and their liberal supporters) that it is now we who must accommodate their beliefs and sensitivities. Rather, it is they who must learn to live with our commitment to free speech.” The number of Muslims who understand this and are trying to reform Islam is, it seems, too small to have any effect. Especially when we have people like Matt Brown eager to flush free speech down the sewer. These apologists for jihadi terrorism are the same people who made excuses for Hitler, Stalin, Castro and the atrocities of the Soviet gulag empire. These fellow travellers like Mayor Matt Brown were complicit in the slaughter, incarceration, torture, of innocents who suffered unbelievable horrors. History repeats itself – now we have children being targeted for slaughter as happened at the Ariana Grande concert – but to be outraged is not acceptable because is may offend Muslims. We have the al-Quds hate parade supporting Hamas and Hezbollah raging through Toronto – their faces contorted with hate calling for the killing of Jews and infidels but this is rarely condemned by anyone. And to discuss it or write about it is Islamophobic and this can only be described Islamophobic hate speech. We really are in the Orwellian world which is the perfect breeding ground for jihadi terrorism. Imams in our country can call for the killing of our Jewish neighbours but our Human Rights Commissions ignore this festering hate – but take anyone who writes or speaks out about or against these Imams are condemned by these Human Rights commissars. Ezra Levant and Mark Stryn were taken before these commissars at great expense to themselves for merely writing the truth about Islam and Muslims…they did not call for violence or murder – but they committed the crime of telling the truth about Islam. No criticism of Islam is permitted anymore.

Mark Swan says
The majority of Canadians are decent ordinary people, busy minding their own business,
living their own lives.
Most do not know they are under siege by Islam and their enablers—not yet—when they
do notice, it will be those ordinary people (not these special people) who have all the say
in what laws and rules are allowed or given special attention.
This nonsense about race is being run-in-the ground by every sort of scoundrel—MUSLIMS
ARE NOT A RACE. This Ideology that seeks to combine Church and State is a direct threat to all societies seeking to remain free societies throughout the whole World.

No freedom of speech in Trudeau’s Canada, especially not for white people.
Andrew Klinzmann says
That’s not entirely true…. MUSLIMS have complete freedom of speech, thanks to Jihadi-Justin’s sharia Motion M-103. Sharia Law is now enshrined in Canada !
Mike says
It’s funny how Freedom of Assembly is largely ignored in practice.
Unlike some other freedoms which are taken seriously.

Grimly, I don’t think many freedoms are taken seriously by the Canadian government at this point.
JOHN SPIELMAN says
what is an ‘ideology of the city of London Ontario ” any way? IS IT NOT THE CHARTER FREEDOMS OF SPEECH AND PEACEFUL ASSEMBLY ? if not, then the mayor and council need to be impeached and sued for failing their oath of offices- to uphold the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms
TR says
Trudeau and his Lackey Liberals are scared to death of these Islamist. They believe by being the enablers they will have preferential mercy from them. Wrong! Enabler Kindness is taken as a sign of weakness as they are just another Infidel to the Islamist.
Canadians have been disarmed and have no recourse to unseat Trudeau’s Tyrants nor defend themselves against the Jihadi.
.
D Austin says
Progressive tolerance is really nothing more than a ploy being used by the soldiers of “hope and change” in their quest for unmitigated and unrestrained cultural control. When the balance of power shifts, tolerance will quickly turn to tyranny. These are the leaders of the Left. They are the politicians, professors and pundits who really believe they are the “ones we’ve been waiting for and they are the change we seek.”
They have total arrogance that they are right They see no need to hide behind pretentions of tolerance any longer, for that would mean some ideas other than their own might actually have merit. There is no need to pretend any longer. They are very open now as to their true agenda.
They will squash dissent from any who risk pointing out their contradictions. They will sequester and even sentence any who dare ask why their emperor is wearing no clothes. This is not intellectual freedom, but rather ideological fascism. Disagree and be silenced. Refuse to join the parade of goose-stepping clones and be fined or jailed. Challenge their orthodoxy and lose your job, your business, your retirement, your church, your college or your home. They never had any intention of tolerating anyone or anything. Their goal was always power, and now that they have it, they clearly intend to use it as a bludgeon against all who challenge their duplicity.
Andy says
What are Canadians going to be singing for there national anthem now. “Oh, Canada our home and Moslem land”.
My goodness how far down the rabbit hole do you want to go? Have western countries all gone mad!!!
Jen says
The rally is still on.
gravenimage says
Do you have any information? Are marchers apt to be arrested if they do not have a permit?
George says
The way I look at it is this. The rally/protest started off as a an anti-Islaminization rally a protest bringing attention to the Sharia creep being forced on Canadians….Now the Mayor has made this a Charter violation protest, by banning anyone from protesting and speaking out on City property, calling them “racist” (even though Islam is not a race), calling them “White supremacists (a racist statement on its own) and accusing them of spreading “hate” to anyone that does not agree with their Government ideology.
I think i may attend just to protest these Statist tyrants, let alone the other reasons.
Speaking to the anti-Islam/anti-M103 protesters, One of the counselors even suggested that the ‘counter protest will be bigger and that the “Government is bigger”
MR COCO says
This is sort of fake news. The rally is happening and the council motion merely condemned the pegida rally. Not fake news…the muslim population in London Ont is absolutely exploding. It feels like pedal to the metal population replacement.
Fran800 says
Mr. Coco is right. Why is London, a formerly sleepy and traditional southern Ontario town, packed to the gills with Muslims? Why are they even there? It is not an economic powerhouse. Indeed this is population replacement. Didn’t the Alt Right demonstrators (carrying their terror tiki torches) chant “Stop immigration now” and “You will not replace us.” I did not hear anything about Jews or see any Swastikas.Maybe there were one or two, but why should that cancel out the message that resonates throughout the West: “STOP IMMIGRATION NOW” and “YOU WILL NOT REPLACE US”.
Karen says
“This City Council was also not elected to ride the coat tails of U.S. politics.”
What’s that supposed to mean? He had me up until that line.
George says
He means these city councilors have no business trying to perpetuate the Liberal MSM narrative in the US. There is zero indication of any “racism” or “white supremacy” in London. This is just politicking by these Statists in London City Hall, to them its all about virtue signalling and trying to capitalize of of this left-wing frenzy to use it as a tool to crush free speech and opposition to their ideology.
gravenimage says
Karen, this is accusing President Trump and any other American who opposes Jihad of being an “Islamophobe”.
SB says
I’m having an anti-Christian rally real soon in BC. Looking forward to seeing Justin T.
Jeff Overdulve says
This needs to turned into a freedom. Of speech rally.
All that where going to attend should drop the origional agenda of their rally to at this point rally up with all.others and fight against the repression of free speech.
Islam is a religion, not a race. Is a Catholic a racist because he hates a protistant? Or vise versa? No why. Because their religions. Like islam
Islamophobia is a term made up by our muslum prime minister to protect HIS people. NOT the people of Canada.
Any politician agreeing with this and him is just as guilty.
This is nothing but repression of free speech. Put differences aside for a day ban together and fight want the real problem in this is..

Oh Canada, or the servant of Allah, there is a non-believer speaking in the streets, come and…
Georg says
“So only one point of view is allowed to be enunciated in public in London, Ontario.”
As a kid, I remember my father explaining to me that in places like the Soviet Union, if the government didn’t like your political views they could look into what kind of books you took out of the library or even have your employment terminated. It always sounded chilling but thankfully alien. But it seems we in the West are lurching in this direction faster and faster every day. Is free speech even discussed in schools any more? It seems to propaganda is near total. In all honesty, it wouldn’t seem outlandish, with the direction we’re headed, that in 20-40 years kids would consider free speech to be immoral, or what Orwellian wrongthink.
gravenimage says
I know exactly how you feel, Georg. This *is* chilling, and is increasingly common throughout much of the West.
Matthieu Baudin says
“… the prohibition of activities of organizations whose ideologies is contrary to the City of London are not permitted in civic spaces, and/or facilities and spaces…”
The Mayor and his Council are bunking down to fight a war of Ideologies, a show of strength and demonstration of power. It’s a Might Is Right view of the world and access to Public Spaces belongs, to this way of thinking, to the most powerful; in this instance to those who control the keys to the city. This style of thinking very closely resembles Fascist Dogma of the 20th Century and the most likely source of the Mayor’s and other Council Member’s ideological indoctrination would be the centres of higher learning that they have either attended or whose advice they have sought in these matters. Having reduced the idea of civil discourse and civic participation to a herd-like battle of competing ideologies, the notion of free thought and informed opinion by citizens has been dismissed and truthfulness is no longer recognised as a defence for plain speech in the public arena. The Postmodern Ideology that has captured this Administrative Elite represents nothing less than the return of Fascist Ideology re-branded under a new name.

London, Ontario bans anti-Islamization rally: “Ideologies contrary to City of London not permitted in civic spaces”
……………………..
So the savagery of Jihad terror and brutal Shari’ah law is not contrary to the City of London, but opposing such barbarism is? Suicidal madness.
Lydia says
They just declared themselves pro-sharia then.
I don’t know what their constitution says about freedom of assembly.
But you have the right to protest this as a human being.
And a duty.
If this happens in the US, after so many atheists have gone after Christian items such as prayer in schools and so on, under the ‘freedom from religion’ banner, then Christians can turn around when muslims are given special priority under that same argument.
Just like the schools, they fight tooth and nail to remove any reference to the true God of the Bible, but then they roll out the red carpet for pro islamists (terrorists). Either it’s nothing, or they have to allow others as well. It gets tricky.
The only other way is to make a Christian country, one that honors God in all these ways as much as is earthly possible in a fallen world. Don’t allow mosques and islamic schools in the country, and if they know they have to go to a school that teaches the Christian Bible, they will steer clear. The problem is the higher up you go, the worse the corruption is so these things usually don’t come to pass for the time.
Flavius Claudius Iulianus says
Although PEGIDA has done some great work, especially in Europe, I don’t hold out much hope for them in doing anything constructive here.
I do, however, put all my hope in the Identitarians. The Identitarians single-handedly halted the illegal ferrying of illegal migrants from north Africa to Italy. They are innovative, smart and fearless.
To deal with hassles of demonstrations (antifa, permits, crooked civic officials) the Identitarians have innovated the “action.” An “action” is basically a documented (by video usually) demonstration that is unannounced publicly (much like a flash mob). It’s done quickly so as not to attract too much attention and then all the documentation (and commentary) is loaded up and promoted on the internet. (Britain First does a lot of street activism this way as well.)
Maybe PEGIDA Canada should consider merging with them.

With all respect, Flavius Claudius Iulianus, aren’t “Identarians” white supremacists? I don’t think that is what Anti-jihadists want to be associated with.
What don’t you like about Pegida? From what I know of them they are good.
UNCLE VLADDI says
Generation Identitaire (aka French Pegida ‘identitarians”) aren’t “white supremacists.”
There’s quite a difference between defensive white nationalists and offensive “supremacists.”
Flavius Claudius Iulianus says
You have to be careful about what labels other people place on anything. These days it is often little more that an ad hominem attack. Let me remind you that Robert Spencer is often called an islamophobe and racist. Is he? Be prepared, as an “anti-jihadist,” if you are of European descent or white, to be labelled a racist and even a white supremacist. PEGIDA is also called racist and white supremacist.
Personally, I think very few whites now a days are white supremacists. I think most are strongly committed to the idea of a meritocracy and would really like to see this idea succeed. I think most are dismayed by the prevalence of identity politics that dominate this discussion in the West.
But if any “minority” you can name can own pride in their identity without being attacked then why can’t people of European descent? There is nothing in what I know about the Identitarians that tells me that they want to rule over or abuse those who are not white or not European (which is the true meaning of supremacism).
Identitarians are a reaction to the “Great Replacement.” They know that those who are coming to Europe will not let them live in peace in a Europe of the future. They are about preserving the European heritage that was passed down to them because it is all, as young people, that they now own. They are about protecting a territory where they and their future children can live. Unlike their parents and grandparents, they are proud of their European heritage, and being young they are unapologetic about it. They don’t care if people call them racist because they believe feeling pride in their identity and protecting a territory to live in is the only thing that will save Europe.
Unfortunately for PEGIDA, it has shown itself ineffectual in North America. I believe this is because we in North America 1. don’t have, just yet, a dire situation regarding the hijra 2. are not yet experienced in dealing with all the machinations of the antifa, as they are in Europe.
My final point is a very pragmatic one: The Identitarians have shown themselves to be effective. As I mentioned in my original comment, they managed to stop the illegal ‘taxi-ing’ of African migrants to Europe. Unfortunately, PEGIDA in North America has done little other than get their under-attended demos mocked in the media and attacked by antifa. If they were smart they would either merge with the Identitarians or learn from their effective playbook.
benny s says
“The majority of Canadians are decent ordinary people, busy minding their own business,living their own lives.” – thats the problem. They dont care that their tax money is being used to fund their own oppression. The canadian gvnt just admitted they will do whatever they want/regulating everyone else, even in PUBLIC spaces when the whole notion of PUBLIC/TAXFUNDED means of the PUBLIC/PEOPLE, not the elite few controlling gvnt. This right here is good enough motivation to not pay taxes until your civic rights are restored. They cant push anti “racism and hated” while doing exactly that towards those they are oppressing. double standards. canadians think theyre immune from tyranny just bc theyre more peaceful or soft spoken.

If Brown feels that London has no room for a bigot, he should resign. Then at least, London would have one less bigot in its administration.
Politicianaphobia says
If Brown feels there is no room for bigots then he should ask Imam Mazin Abdul-Adhim, head of the terrorists group Hizb ut-Tahrir, to go back to Iraq. He should listen to the 45 min speech the Imam gave at George Brown College a few years ago. He should understand the Imam is calling for his “BEAUTIFUL SHARI’AH” in Canada. If you see something, say something. Brown should go to Mazin’s mosque and ask him what he says about the Jews. TAYSIR–Deceipt by deliberate ambiguity. This is getting to be beyond belief.
Ken Clements says
This is what you get when leftists are voted in to power in cities and towns. Most people never bother to vote in civic elections or if they do, they never bother to check out where the candidate stands on issues like free speech or where they stand on various political issues or what party they support. Once in power, (like the clowns running London), they use their office as a venue to advance their leftist political beliefs. It doesn’t matter if the taxpayers don’t like it, the politicians at city hall will ram anything they believe in down the throats of the people as they know whats best for all of us. London is now a sanctuary city. Did the people vote for that or know that the city council had this plan in mind when they were elected? I doubt it. I lived in London for many years. It always was a leftist city but now its a facist city with its civic government denying the people its constitutional rights. What a shameful situation and the real shame is the fact the people living in London sit quiet and allow this to happen. London is now no different then any American city run by the Democrats. High unemployment, crime, crumbling infrastructure, high taxes and not much of a future for the young people along with many other problems too numerous to list. So fellow Londoners, stop your whining about this violation of your rights. You voted for these people and you’re getting exactly what you deserve. Enjoy your sanctuary city when the hundreds of thousands of Central Americans start to pour over the border this year.
mortimer says
What is this ungrammatical, irrational statement???
““Ideologies contrary to City of London …”
Is the ‘City of London’ an ideology?
Politicianaphobia says
I urge people to google Mazin Abdul-Adhim, Imam, London, Ontario. He is just the same as the other Imams-promoting SHARI’AH law in Canada. If the politicians insist on shutting down free speech, the people MUST stand up and be counted. Canada is a free country with it’s own laws. If one can not follow Canadian law then they should leave, be deported or charged with treason. ENOUGH

The city of London Ontario is an inanimate object, it doesn’t have ideologies. Call it what it is, a motion to shut down anyone that disagrees with the members of city council.
UNCLE VLADDI says
Everyone who defends islam and muslims endorses crime.
Endorsing crime IS a crime, so those doing it are criminals.
Right in the Qur’an is: the permission to murder Jews and Christians (Surah 9:29), to terrorize all non-Muslims (8:12), to rape young girls (65:4), to enslave people for sex (4:3), to lie about one’s true goals (3:54), and the command to make war on all the infidels (9:123) and subjugate the entire world to Allah (9:33).
Are death-threats legal? NO.
Is extortion legal? NO.
Is slavery legal? NO.
Is murder legal? NO.
Is rape legal? NO.
THEN ISLAM IS ILLEGAL!
Rape, slavery, robbery, extortion and murder are never OK!
Everything muslims pretend to see as “holy” is already a crime!
So nobody has a legal right to practice islam anywhere on earth!
so, IN TRYING TO MAKE CRITICISM OF THE GLOBAL CRIME GANG CALLED “ISLAM” INTO A CRIME, TO PROTECT THAT CRIME GANG BY HIDING THE EVIDENCE OF ITS CRIMES, LONDON ONTARIO MAYOR MATT BROWN IS A CRIMINAL AND A TRAITOR TO RATIONALITY, CIVILIZATION, AND HUMANITY ITSELF.
UNCLE VLADDI says
PS:
ALL LIBERAL “LAWS” ARE CRIMINAL SLANDERS, BECAUSE THEY REVERSE THE ONUS OF PROOF AND DEMAND WE PROVE A NEGATIVE:
“YOU MUST (PAY US TO) PROVE YOU AREN’T A DANGEROUS CRIMINAL!”
SINCE you COULD commit crimes, SO you WILL commit them, so WE MUST stop you first by making you prove you won’t!
i.e: WE say you are a: a) Hatefully b) bigoted c) racist – prove that you’re not!
Their implicitly slanderous, extortive claim is that WE are the criminals simply by existing. In this way they are exactly like criminal islam.
… Furthermore…….
ALL “Leftists” are criminals!
Like all criminals, they want equality of outcome, not equality of opportunity! They always demand idolatrous static “rights” (like, to our stuff) without any concomitant, corollary responsibilities (like having to earn or otherwise pay for it)!
They want to slander Makers as “privileged” for inheriting wealth their ancestors WORKED for, and to then extort and steal (“redistribute”) it, to give to those Takers (themselves) whose ancestors didn’t work for it.
Further, such perpetual extortion is also known as SLAVERY.
Some people imagine that we should have equality, regardless of one’s politics.
But there is no “diverse equality” between law-abiding, civilized Conservatives, and libertine criminal “liberals!”
