Imagine that one day, your completely non-threatening, well-adjusted neighbor is suddenly overcome with bloodlust. He becomes transfixed by delusions as he rants and raves in a bizarre frenzy. And then imagine that these delusions don’t go away. They continue for a very long time, many years in fact. Even if your neighbor isn’t that important or interesting, you’d probably pause for a moment to figure out what’s going on — if only for the sake of your own security, peace of mind, and morbid curiosity.

This is why, every so often, it’s important to check in on Canada, our neighbor to the north. Even as they watch their quality of life plummet as foreign invaders flood into their country, Canadians have not turned their outrage on their leaders. In fact, Canadians have just re-elected those leaders. Instead, Canadians have become obsessed, to a psychotic degree, with exacting vengeance on two specific groups. Their first target, as we’ve discussed many times before, is Christians. Arsonists torched dozens of churches in Canada because of a lie about “mass graves” being discovered at residential schools. 

The other target in Canada, which has become increasingly obvious, is white males. They’re frequently defamed and demonized in bizarre, coordinated hoaxes. A few years ago, the trucker convoy got a taste of this deep-seated hatred. They were falsely accused of committing apartment arson before they were de-banked and beaten in the streets.

More recently, as you may have heard, five professional hockey players — members of “Canada’s world junior hockey team” who went on to play in the NHL — were accused of sexually assaulting a woman in a hotel room in London, Ontario all the way back in June of 2018. This is a case that has transfixed all of Canada. It’s like their OJ trial. And it’s worth discussing at length, because no one in Canada’s state-owned media has told the truth about it.

Globalnews.ca.

These are the versions of events that Canadians have been told to believe for several years now. The condensed version of the official narrative is that these hockey players, between the ages of 18 and 20, went to a bar after attending a fundraiser. According to Canadian media, the players met a 20-year-old woman named E.M., and proceeded to buy her several drinks, to the point that she was “out of it” and completely unaware of what was happening. Then one of the players left the bar, took the woman to a hotel room, and had sex with her — before inviting other hockey players into the room to potentially engage in sex acts with her as well.

Initially, the police didn’t take her claims seriously. But when the woman filed a civil lawsuit against “Hockey Canada” — the regulatory body that oversees the sport — things began to change. Hockey Canada decided to settle, even though the police decided there wasn’t enough evidence for criminal charges.

What followed were years of allegations in the Canadian media that Hockey Canada was corrupt, and that these five hockey players had gotten away with sexually assaulting this woman. The police eventually caved, under pressure from every politician in Canada, and arrested the players in early 2024.

Here’s just one example of the kind of coverage that Canadian state media was producing during this period:

Already, you can see how this is being presented. It’s a scandal so bad, we’re told, that it could be “a breaking point for hockey.” The entire sport of hockey is in “danger,” says a very stern-looking woman who serves as the “Minister of Sport.” Yes, the act of hitting a puck into a goal with a stick, and skating a lot on the ice, is somehow in jeopardy because of the events that took place in that hotel room back in 2018. That’s how powerful these five random NHL players are. And if we don’t stop these five white guys now, who knows what’s next? They might end erasing baseball and soccer, too. This is an existential threat to everything we hold dear.

As the CBC program went on, various experts appeared to make the case that something very nefarious and criminal had occurred. And as they did so, they were careful to minimize any evidence that suggested the hockey players might be innocent. Watch:

Make a mental note of two key elements that are being excused here. First, we’re told to ignore the fact that E.M. might have been a willing participant in the sexual encounter. We’re told that, according to a “law professor,” this detail somehow isn’t relevant. Then we’re told that E.M. was “unable to say no,” although that’s not really explained. The implication is that she was physically being held in the room, against her will, because the men were blocking the door.

In terms of first-hand, verifiable information, probably the most important evidence in this case were two videos that were shot inside the hotel room by the hockey players that night. Here’s how CBC addresses those videos:

First of all, before we go any further, I need to make it clear that they lied about what she says in the videos.

So here’s the full transcript from the second video: “EM: Okay. It was all consensual. Are you recording me?” Michael McLeod: “Ya.” EM: “Okay, good, It was all consensual.” Another hockey player says: “What else?” And EM responds, “You are so paranoid. Holy…I enjoyed it. It was fine. It was all consensual. I am so sober that’s why I can’t do this right now.” Additionally, the judge determined that, “While speaking on the video, E.M. does not display any signs of intoxication. She has no difficulty speaking or standing, she is not slurring her words and speaks clearly and coherently.”

WATCH: The Matt Walsh Show

In that video from CBC, as you may have noticed, they only give you the last sentence. They don’t tell you she was clearly sober. And they omit the fact that she repeatedly said that everything was “consensual.” Instead of telling the truth, they imply that the sheer fact that this video exists is, in fact, evidence of guilt. After all, why would the players want to record a video demonstrating that this woman consented? Isn’t that something a guilty person would do?

Here’s the problem, which should be very obvious. In Canada (and in many states), “affirmative consent” is now mandatory. You are required by law to take some overt, explicit steps to demonstrate that you have consent before you have sex, in every context. And then you’re required to keep checking in.

Here’s a video, for example, from the Royal Canadian Mounted Police followed by an interview with a Canadian feminist on a news program. Watch:

The implication of all of these instructions is pretty obvious. If “consent” means that you need both explicit and implicit signs of consent, and that consent can be revoked at any time, then men face a very difficult — if not insurmountable — burden of proof in the event of a false allegation. From a rational perspective, the best way to satisfy this burden of proof would be recording footage, after the encounter is over, affirming that everything was indeed consensual and that everyone is relatively sober. You’d think that would do the trick.

And that’s exactly what these hockey players did. And yet, by doing so, now we’re told that the hockey players simply provided more evidence of their guilt. They’re damned either way, basically.

This is an obvious smear campaign, but it’s worked. There are tens of thousands of vitriolic social media posts directed at them. Those posts are continuing today. Their reputations and careers have been destroyed (the NHL kicked them out of the league). And yet, after all of these lies, and despite all of the public pressure, all five of the players were just acquitted of all of the charges against them.

Yes, you heard that correctly. Canada’s “Daniel Penny case” has effectively just taken place.

A judge heard all of the evidence, and rendered the correct verdict. Here’s what the judge looked like:

Photo by NICK BRANCACCIO /The Windsor Star/National Post

Her name is Justice Maria Carroccia. She’s the eldest child of Italian immigrants. And against all odds — in defiance of an awful lot of stereotypes about female judges in Canada, frankly — she issued a very lengthy takedown of every single charge against these hockey players. And then she acquitted every single one of them.

It’s not an exaggeration to say that this decision — all 91 pages of it — is the single greatest indictment of feminist propaganda that’s been written in the past decade. It is a point-by-point refutation of every single claim that was made by feminists and Left-wing activists in this case, as well as their broader claims that women’s subjective beliefs are more important than observable, verifiable facts. You can read the whole decision online, but I’m going to go through some of the most important parts of it now. We’ll start with this observation from the judge, from page 64 of her decision:

Ontario Superior Court

In other words, the judge picked up on the fact that this woman was willing to state — explicitly — that her emotions (or “her truth”) were more important than the actual truth. This is how everyone, in all contexts, should respond to the idea that individuals have their own “truth.” They should be immediately discredited, which is what happened in this case.

And it’s clear why this alleged victim would resort to talking about “her truth” instead of the facts. As it turns out, “E.M.” had a boyfriend at the time of this incident. She had just cheated on him with several hockey players. And after that experience in the hotel room, she went home and cried in her bathroom, until her mother discovered her. At that point, her mother and father wanted to know what had happened. Without consulting her daughter in any meaningful way, the mother called the police and decided that her child had been drugged. 

So there’s a very clear reason why “her truth” might suddenly emerge, in that context. She needed a way to absolve herself of her conduct, so that her mother (and her boyfriend) wouldn’t be upset with her. That’s the motive. It’s a very common motive in cases like this. And that’s not all. 

If you go back and look at the texts that this woman sent on the night of this incident, it becomes clear that she was upset because the players didn’t care much about her.

Ontario Superior Court

Again, this is a very familiar set of facts. This woman had a porn star fantasy. But in practice, it turned out to be extremely degrading and awkward for everyone involved. And then, the regret kicked in. And rather than explain the truth to her family and boyfriend, she chose the easy lie.

But even if you put aside her obvious motive to lie, there’s a mountain of other evidence that she was, in fact, lying. Let’s look at some examples. Again, this is from the judge’s decision.

Ontario Superior Court

The ruling states: “The complainant testified that Mr. McLeod took her hand and placed it on his crotch as did others. … In cross-examination, E.M. was shown a video … and she acknowledged that the video clearly showed that she touched Mr. McLeod’s genital area, and Mr. McLeod did not guide her hand nor cause her to touch him. … The complainant testified that the players bought six of the drinks she consumed. … This was not supported by the video evidence. The video from Jack’s Bar shows that E.M. purchased eight drinks for herself. … E.M. testified that the players ‘separated’ her from her friends. She was shown the video from Jack’s Bar that showed that throughout the night she spoke to a bouncer who she identified as a friend from high school. She also had a long conversation with him at the end of the night.”

Oh and also, as for the claim that she was “blocked” from leaving the room, here’s another portion of the ruling:

“”E.M. agreed with a suggestion in cross-examination that none of the men physically stopped her from leaving the room. When asked why she did not leave after coming out of the bathroom since the door to the room was very close to the bathroom door, she explained that she did not think of that.”

It goes on from there. She lied about pretty much every relevant fact on the night in question. Nothing about her story makes sense. Ultimately, on cross-examination, she, “agreed while testifying that she filled in the gaps in her memory or knowledge with assumptions.” At one point in her ruling, the judge even provided a bullet-list of all the “gaps” in her memory.

Ontario Superior Court

She supposedly didn’t remember dancing with one of the players, texting a friend, speaking to the bouncer, being recorded on either of the videos, or “much of what was said” in the hotel room. She also didn’t remember, “having sex with Mr. McLeod in the shower at the end of the night until it was included in the Statement of Claim filed in 2022.”

That last part is especially significant. This incident happened in 2018. At the time, the alleged victim provided three statements to the police. None of those statements mentioned that she was fearful in any way during these encounters. Instead, she said that she liked the attention she was receiving. But all of that changed once the multi-million-dollar lawsuit was filed, several years later. At that point, she suddenly claimed to have experienced “terror and fear.” But even in 2022, she gave a statement to Hockey Canada investigators on July 20, 2022, in which she, “agreed that she was not so drunk at that time that she could not consent to engaging in sexual activity with Mr. McLeod.”

Now already, there are about a million holes with this story. This woman is clearly not credible, and the case never should’ve made it anywhere near trial. 

Here’s a portion of the judge’s final decision:

“On the basis of all of the evidence, I find as a fact that the complainant did express that she wanted to engage in sexual activity with the men … Given the issues relating to the credibility and reliability of the complainant’s evidence I conclude that I cannot rely on it.”

There were many incriminating quotes from this alleged victim, too, like when she taunted the men for not wanting to have sex with her. She called them names. Much of the language she used is too explicit to repeat here, but when she was asked in court about whether she said all of these things, she didn’t deny it.

I could take time to go through all of the many absurdities in this case. Put simply, there isn’t a single shred of credible evidence justifying any of these charges, or the crazed vitriol these players had to endure. Their lives were destroyed because of a very obvious fraud. Even now, after this acquittal, the NHL won’t let them back into the league.

Outside the courthouse, one of the defense lawyers made it clear how predictable all of this was. Watch:

A defense lawyer in the hockey Canada sexual assault case eviscerated the news media for their (all too typically) horrible coverage of the problems with the accuser’s case.

The last part there is interesting, though not for the reasons this lawyer is implying. It’s true that, in Canada, so-called “restorative justice” is often provided as an alternative to imprisonment. But it’s usually only offered to non-white defendants. Consider that, at the same time these white men were being prosecuted for a crime they clearly didn’t commit, foreign nationals were being let out of jail in obvious cases of sexual assault.

This is from the National Post, reporting out of Calgary: 

Twenty-five-year-old Rajbir Singh, currently here on a visitor’s permit after initially coming to Canada in 2018 to study, was out one night at the Back Alley night club when he groped an 18-year-old woman’s genitals under her skirt as she stood at the bar to buy a drink. When she turned around in shock, he did it again and walked away, according to the court ruling. Singh was found guilty of sexual assault at trial. But he wasn’t convicted. Instead, in January, he was given a discharge by Justice A. J. Brown. The judge explained that a conviction would automatically result in deportation without a right to appeal, while a discharge wouldn’t generate a permanent criminal record and would preserve Singh’s right to appeal his deportation.

What this means is that the Canadian legal system will go out of its way to reward foreigners who commit sex offenses. But white men will have their lives destroyed because a woman decides to invent her own “truth.” The only way to restore the rule of law in places like Canada, and to prevent similar hoaxes from taking place here, is to actually charge hoaxers like this woman, and give them the same kind of sentence the men would have gotten if they were convicted. But that’s not happening anywhere. 

This despicable woman deserves to rot in prison for the rest of her life. She is just as evil as a rapist. And she is just as much a threat to society and to innocent people as a rapist. A woman who would try to get revenge on men who hurt her feelings by destroying their lives, ending their careers, and attempting to have them thrown in prison, is an evil and dangerous person who does not deserve to ever see the outside of a prison cell ever again. Throw her in prison. And if for some reason you can’t do that, then create a registry like the sex offender registry but for lying women who make up rape claims and put her on it. Make her walk around to her neighbors every time she moves into a new community and alert them to the fact that she’s a rape hoaxer and she’ll be living next door. Brand her with this Scarlett letter for the rest of her life so that men know to avoid her, for the sake of their own safety. That, at least, should be the consequence. But that’s not happening either.

Until it does, men — particularly white men — should understand that “consent” isn’t actually that important to these people. What’s important is control over you. And one way or another, even if the facts completely contradict their narrative, they will find a way to exert that control. And they will continue to do that, until we finally recognize the threat we’re up against.
