North Bay man found guilty of hate crimes for online posts promoting antisemitism
Kenneth Paulin received nine months jail and two years probation for social media posts promoting antisemitism and Holocaust denial, marking Canada’s first conviction for Holocaust denial.
- On September 18, Kenneth Paulin, 51-year-old North Bay man, was sentenced to nine months in jail for wilful promotion of hate and antisemitism by denying the Holocaust.
- A seven-month investigation by the North Bay Police Service Criminal Investigation Section led to Kenneth Paulin's arrest and charges on June 20 after reports about online content.
- FSWC said the content included posts vilifying Jews, promoting blood libels and conspiracy theories, and denying the Holocaust with a video titled `Their victim card gets permanently denied as the hollow-cost-Hoax is exposed` and a post reading `Six million didn't happen, but it should've`.
- Officials hailed the decision as precedent-setting, with FSWC’s Jaime Kirzner-Roberts praising police, the Attorney General and Crown prosecutors, and calling it the first-ever conviction in Canada for Holocaust denial.
- The North Bay Police Service said it is committed to keeping North Bay inclusive and urged residents to report hate incidents, while Friends of Simon Wiesenthal Center for Holocaust Studies warned antisemitism harms Jewish Canadians and corrodes democracy.
