Be careful! Your proximity to us exposes you to all kinds of mental disease. There's even people trying to sell private health insurance in Canada!

I bet he wears clothes of a different weave. KILL THE UNBELIEVER !!

There is a church Pastor in my local area that was showing up at local city counsel meetings saying gay peple should be convicted and executed with a bullet in the back of the head because of the Bible. The church was forced to leave their original location because that city had ordinances against hate speech, but they just moved to a nearby small city which didn't have such an ordinance. This Pastor showed up at that city's counsel meeting again advocating killing gay people.

The problem is that we in the US now have a hostile Supreme Court US willing to target this minority group led primarily by a member of another traditionally oppressed minority on the court. He has put his opinion in writing with the court's removal of women's reproductive rights explicitly saying the should take on (target and go after) the rights of gays along with other reproductive rights and family planning. It is a travesty that our legal system in the form of the Highest Court in the land feels so free to limit liberties of certain citizens. It is essentially against the spirit of the founding of this nation. It doesn't matter that traditions didn't allow same sex couples to marry or for racially mixed couples to marry. We have often broken with tradition - right from our founding - to expand the freedoms and liberties of our citizens, and not to restrict them to oppress certain segments of our population - much less to go killing them because of a warped religion which wants to institute archaic blood lusting laws from several millennia ago.

Sounds a lot like Tillsonburg, ON - what a corrupt and backward dive of a town.

Very sorry to hear of your town's troubles. As far as letting the dumbass run his mouth in the town council, it's a shame that people had to be subjected to a lot of drivle. However, you might take solace in that if you give these assholes enough rope, they often hang themselves. Letting them drone on may just turn people off. Just trying to see the glass as half-full.

You need to get people together that feel the opposite and start protesting.

If nothing will be done on the local level I would be thinking provincial and federal. There has to be laws against hate crimes on the books.

Note that I would NOT dwell on the religious aspect, focus on the hate. Call the Premier, call Ottawa. You didn't say whether you have RCMP or locals, RCMP may have dedicated personnel regarding hate crimes. Get names, badge numbers and leave your name keeping records.

Rinse and repeat. If others are also making phone calls regarding hate crimes (and not complaining about religion) progress will be made. Have all working the phones also keeping records.

If still no progress call the Globe and Mail. At that point there will be records at more than one agency

Religion is the greatest evil known to humanity.

Sad to hear the infection is spreading. The people of your community really must speak against this madness.

I thought most government meetings allow only About 2 minutes for comments

Where was the rainbow flag placed?

At the front entrance of his church?

As an American of Dutch descent; I am appalled at these actions. (The Dutch were responsible for most of the atrocities of the middle passage shipping human beings into enslavement.) I am appalled that they would move to Canada and try to push their beliefs on Canadians. This man obviously knows nothing of history. If he did, he would know that even before the Jewish were targeted for elimination, Hitler targeted others he deemed "undesirable" Children and adults alike with mental disabilities as well as physical. Atheists were targeted and so were homosexuals, labeled as deviants. There is no way the LGBQT community was responsible for what Hitler and his goonies did since they themselves were early targets. I hope the community was allowed to rebut his ridiculousness.

In the U.S. such persons will do such things and when called out for how they are behaving, they will claim "religious persecution."

The fascist movement is getting a foothold all over the planet. It's push back for everything going on. We can NOT let them win.
