WEYBURN, Saskatchewan , 4 March, 2013 ( LifeSiteNews.com ) – Not finding vindication in Canada ’s highest court , the country’s most controversial self-styled Christian evangelist has taken to the blogosphere to defend his innocence and exonerate himself from the judges’  unanimous pronouncement  that he is guilty of “ hate speech ”. “The reasoning for ruling that two of my four flyers should be deemed ‘hate speech’ is specious and fantastical at best, or dishonest and totalitarian at worst,”  wrote  Bill Whatcott today on his blog FreeNorthAmerica.
