"A longtime anti-gay crusader is at it again, distributing hundreds of graphic flyers over the weekend, this time in northwest Calgary.
Bill Whatcott, who once ran for mayor of Edmonton and has argued in the Supreme Court of Canada for his right to distribute his flyers, said he has printed 5,000 flyers and is dropping them off at Calgary and Edmonton homes.
He said he started giving them out around the University of Calgary on Sunday and in other random neighbourhoods before he was briefly detained on Monday and released without charges.
The flyer has graphic photos of sexually transmitted infections and makes anti-homosexual statements. Its purported intent is to criticize changes to the provincial Education Act that some proponents of home-schooling fear could limit what they teach their children about homosexuality.
Whatcott said he is intent on handing out all 5,000 flyers. “I stand by what I did and don’t think the police should be shutting me up,” said Whatcott from Edmonton.
He was detained and told by police the arrest was preventive because there was a high likelihood of him being assaulted for passing out the flyers. He was released without charges and given an unrelated fine.
Calgary police Const. Brian Denison, who investigates hate crimes, said the material was “very graphic.” It was presented to the Crown but was deemed not to be hate speech because it does not promote hatred or violence.

"preventive arrest" What?! Dictorial power with that reason, anyone can be arrested at any time to "prevent" some future action!
"He was detained and told by police the arrest was preventive because there was a high likelihood of him being assaulted for passing out the flyers. He was released without charges and given an unrelated fine."
So the guy does something that is not illegal, and he gets arrested for his own protection and then fined. What a f*cked up world we live in.
I can't wait until Sharia Law is finally instituted. It will make acts like this seem like child's play.
Socialism in our neighbor to the north SAY NO TO THE NAU
"The material was "very graphic"? Was is as graphic as the images put on packs of cigarettes by the Health-Nazi's?
