ANALYSIS: StatCan’s Alarming Numbers on Youth Exposed to Online ‘Hate’ Tell a Different Story Upon Closer Examination

About 70 percent of Canadian youth have been exposed to online hate, says a Statistics Canada report released the day after the Liberal government tabled its Online Harms Act aimed at the problem. The alarmingly high number suggests Bill C-63 has arrived just in time to address a widespread problem, but a closer look at the StatCan survey questions tells another story.

“Hate” is in the eye of the beholder. Survey participants were given no guidance on what “hate” means, and sociologist David Haskell says young people are increasingly taught to perceive hate in comments previously considered offensive, but not truly harmful or “hateful.”

“There is lots of evidence coming from current psychological research showing that educational environments are ’training’ students to experience a phenomenon that does not exist in objective reality,” Mr. Haskell, an associate professor in the faculty of Liberal Arts at Wilfrid Laurier University, told The Epoch Times via email.

With hate crimes at record high, study looks at broader Canadian impact

People who live in Canadian cities that have high rates of hate crimes(opens in a new tab) were less likely to report positive physical and mental health compared with those in other parts of the country, according to Statistics Canada.

In a recent study released Thursday, Statistics Canada said it found that fewer Canadians (46 per cent) in these areas that saw more hate crimes reported “excellent or very good mental health” compared with those living in other parts of the country (50 per cent).

It defined a hate crime as “a criminal violation motivated by hate.”


Crappy article that fails to offer stats on the actual number or ethnic/religious background of victims.

Typically the Jewish faith leads the hate crime hit parade by a wide margin. Someone likely figured that fact to be “controversial” and left identifying data out lest they offend their Hamas supporting viewers.

Recall that reporting on the latest available national hate crime stats deliberately avoided mentioning that crimes against Christians soared thanks to the Liberal party unleashing a wave of Fake Grave Hysteria resulting in arsons and vandalism against over a hundred churches.

‘Pathological Liar’ or ‘Brave’ Victim? The Curious Case of the ‘Islamophobic Hate Crime’ at Stanford

On November 3, 2023, a Syrian computer science student left a pro-Hamas sit-in protest at Stanford University. Students hoped to set a record for the longest campus sit-in. But it didn’t take long before an act of violence tarnished the event. As he was leaving the sit-in, Abdulwahab Omira was injured by a white man driving an SUV as he crossed one of the campus’s many traffic circles. The white man wearing glasses yelled at him, “F**k you and your people!” A hate crime was immediately reported to the Stanford Department of Public Safety, which quickly fired off a campus bulletin about the drive-by hate crime.

Hate crime hoaxer charged in arson case that left one dead

Ohio man faces charges of lying about anti-Palestinian attack in North Ridgeville, police say

Mr Fafo’s Cousin

CLEVELAND, Ohio – Authorities say a North Olmsted man was arrested Tuesday and accused of lying about being the victim of a hate crime involving anti-Palestinian slurs.

The Cleveland chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations sent a press release Oct. 23 calling for an investigation into the man’s claims, which involved a person striking him.

Instead, police say, his claims were false, and the injuries he suffered came from a fight with his brother.

Did feds rely on poorly sourced info to invoke Emergencies Act?

A team of stressed RCMP staff Googled news media articles to quote right back to news media after the public safety minister told reporters to direct their questions to law enforcement: Lawyer and investigative journalist.

OTTAWA, Ont. – A Freedom of Information request reveals that law enforcement may have used ambiguous information about Canadian Forces veteran Jeremy MacKenzie and Diagolon, which in large part, led to the federal government invoking the Emergencies Act, say two investigative journalists.

Through Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy (FOIPOP), independent journalists Caryma Sa’d and Elisa Hategan obtained 1,000 pages of internal RCMP documents on MacKenzie and Diagolon. The documents show that although the RCMP were investigating Diagolon, they didn’t consider them a group, a militia, or a security threat.


A long but revealing read examining how manufacturing hate to criminalize dissent became standard practice with the Liberal government, its media minions, their willing collaborators in law enforcement and the usual suspect NGO’s. 

It is disturbing how easily an extreme left political vendetta can be palmed off as an anti-hate crusade based on the dubious “expertise” of a few self-appointed guardians of social cohesion.  

These practices were first institutionalized in human rights commissions in Canada and have now spread throughout society to include professional licensing boards and our financial system.  

Who can forget Freeland’s schoolgirl cackling on revealing the Trudeau government unpersoned trucker convoy enemies of the state?

The self-professed authority on anti-Asian hate crimes in America pushes a misleading and divisive narrative on race.

Stop Stop AAPI Hate

America’s latest era of racial turmoil has been a boon to many organizations. Black Lives Matter is merely the highest-profile group to claim the mantle of authority on racism, while bringing in millions of dollars in contributions. Stop AAPI Hate (AAPI stands for Asian American and Pacific Islander), purporting to be the leading authority on “anti-Asian hate crimes,” has followed BLM’s model, promoting the story that America is racist toward Asians. Its motto reflects that mission: it seeks to “advance equity, justice, and power by dismantling systemic racism.”

The Asian BLM, just more anti-white racism.

Police find no evidence of alleged hate-motivated confinement of Grade 1 student by TDSB staff

Toronto police have ended an investigation into the alleged hate-motived forcible confinement of a Grade 1 student at John Fisher Junior Public School, saying detectives found no evidence to support laying charges against staff.

The boy’s mother alleged in March that he was subjected to months of anti-Black racism at the north Toronto school. Police probed two specific allegations that he was confined in a closet-sized room in an administrator’s office and that hateful messages were written on a desk.

Pennsylvania Teachers, Activists Concocted Bogus LGBTQ Bullying Epidemic for Political Gain, Investigation Finds

The protests outside Lenape Middle School carried on for four straight days last May.

Young students, some drawn by the lure of free pizza, walked out of their Pennsylvania school to wave rainbow flags and chant, “Hey hey, ho ho, transphobia has got to go” into a bullhorn.

The protesters — not just middle schoolers, but also local adult activists and high-school students — held signs that read “Protect Trans Kids.” They called for “justice” for a Lenape teacher who had been suspended, seemingly for filing a complaint with the U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights on behalf of a bullied transgender student.
