Call to Action:
“Read, Share, and Demand Action: Together, We Can Hold Hate Accountable.”
Introduction to the Case
In recent years, Canada has seen a disturbing rise in hate speech, extremism, and neo-Nazi activity. At the heart of this growing menace is Andrew “Christo” Nelson, a self-admitted neo-Nazi based in New Brunswick. Nelson’s hate-filled rhetoric and explicit threats against high-profile figures, including Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, U.S. President Joe Biden, and myself, have exposed dangerous gaps in Canada’s legal and institutional responses to extremism.
Despite clear evidence of incitement to violence, Nelson has been allowed to operate with impunity, emboldened by the repeal of Section 13 of the Canadian Human Rights Act in 2013. This critical legislative safeguard once provided Canadians with protection against hate speech, but its removal under Stephen Harper’s government has left the country vulnerable to extremist ideologies. The RCMP and the Canadian Human Rights Commission (CHRC) have repeatedly failed to act on credible threats, raising serious questions about their commitment to public safety and the rule of law.
This document, "The Doxxing of Andrew Christo Nelson," is an in-depth exposé detailing Canada’s failure to confront the growing threat of hate and extremism. It combines extensive OSINT (Open Source Intelligence) research with a series of critical documents designed to hold Canadian authorities accountable and push for urgent reforms. The case of Andrew Nelson is not just an isolated incident—it represents a broader crisis in Canada’s ability to protect its citizens from hate and violence.
Within this document, you will find:
Detailed Communications and Inquiries to Canadian and international authorities, pressing for action against Nelson and those who enable his hateful activities.
Legal Analyses exploring the unconstitutionality of the repeal of Section 13 and the erosion of rights it has caused.
Media Engagements and Public Advocacy efforts to mobilize citizens, raise awareness, and demand legislative changes to protect Canadians from hate speech and extremist threats.
Security Recommendations for those targeted by hate, offering practical steps to safeguard personal and digital security in an age of rising online extremism.
This is a call to action—a demand for accountability from Canadian institutions that have failed to uphold their duties. The case of Andrew Christo Nelson serves as a stark reminder that Canada’s current legal framework is woefully inadequate in the face of modern extremism. We must act now to close these dangerous gaps, protect our communities, and ensure that hate has no safe haven in Canada.

Subject: Urgent Follow-Up: Threats Against Prime Minister Trudeau, President Biden, and Myself
To: [CIA Contact Email]
Dear [Recipient/Contact Name],
I am writing to follow up on my previous communication regarding the direct threats made by Andrew “Christo” Nelson, a self-admitted neo-Nazi based in Canada, against Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, President Joe Biden, and myself. These threats are ongoing, explicit, and have not been adequately addressed by Canadian authorities, including the RCMP and CHRC.
Despite clear evidence of incitement to violence, Nelson’s actions have been met with inaction and dismissiveness by Canadian institutions. This has created a dangerous environment where hate speech and threats are allowed to proliferate unchecked, putting the lives of high-profile political leaders, including President Biden, at serious risk.
I urgently request an update on any actions being taken by your agency regarding these threats. Given the cross-border implications, I believe it is critical that U.S. intelligence and security agencies remain engaged in this matter. The failure of Canadian authorities to act has only escalated the risks, and I am deeply concerned for our collective safety.
Please let me know how I can further assist or provide additional information that might aid in addressing these threats.
Thank you for your attention to this urgent matter. I look forward to your prompt response.

To: [FBI/Homeland Security Contact Email]
Dear [Recipient/Contact Name],
I am reaching out to inform you of direct and ongoing threats against President Joe Biden, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, and myself by Andrew “Christo” Nelson, a self-admitted neo-Nazi from Canada. Nelson has openly incited violence and expressed intentions of civil war against political leaders, yet Canadian authorities, including the RCMP, have failed to take any substantial action.
These threats are not isolated but are part of a broader pattern of hate speech and extremism that is currently unchecked in Canada due to the repeal of Section 13 of the Canadian Human Rights Act. Despite multiple reports and clear evidence of incitement, there has been a notable lack of response, endangering the lives of political leaders.
Given the severity of these threats and their direct implications for President Biden, I urge your agency to investigate and engage with Canadian counterparts to address this issue. I have also reached out to the CIA regarding these concerns, and I am prepared to provide further evidence or cooperate in any way necessary to ensure this matter is handled with the urgency it requires.
I appreciate your immediate attention to this threat and look forward to your guidance on the next steps.

Title: Canada Fails to Act as Neo-Nazi Threatens Prime Minister Trudeau, President Biden, and Canadian Citizens

Phone: [Contact Number]
Moncton, NB, Canada — Canada’s failure to confront the rise of extremism within its borders has placed Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, U.S. President Joe Biden, and Canadian citizens at direct risk, as threats from self-admitted neo-Nazi Andrew “Christo” Nelson go unchecked. Despite explicit calls for violence and incitement to insurrection, Canadian authorities, including the RCMP and Canadian Human Rights Commission (CHRC), have repeatedly failed to act.
Andrew Nelson’s hate-filled messages, which include threats against political leaders and advocacy for civil war, highlight a dangerous trend in Canada where hate speech and extremism are allowed to proliferate. This alarming inaction is a direct consequence of the repeal of Section 13 of the Canadian Human Rights Act, which previously provided critical protections against hate speech.
“I have personally received threats from Andrew Nelson, as have Prime Minister Trudeau and President Biden,” said Marie Seshat Landry, CEO of OSINT Spymaster & Peacemaker. “Despite numerous reports and clear evidence of incitement, the RCMP and CHRC have dismissed these threats, endangering our lives and the security of our nations. This is not just a failure of law enforcement; it’s a failure of our entire system.”
The issue has been escalated to U.S. intelligence agencies, including the CIA, FBI, and Homeland Security, as the cross-border nature of these threats poses a severe risk to both Canadian and U.S. leadership. However, Canadian institutions have continued to turn a blind eye, creating a breeding ground for extremism.
Marie Seshat Landry calls on the Canadian government to immediately reinstate Section 13 or introduce new legislation targeting hate speech in the digital age. “The time for complacency is over. The lives of our leaders and citizens depend on decisive action. Canada must confront this threat before it’s too late.”

Title: Canada’s Dangerous Surrender to Hate: Why Inaction on Neo-Nazi Threats Endangers Us All
By Marie Seshat Landry, CEO, OSINT Spymaster & Peacemaker
In 2013, Canada repealed Section 13 of the Canadian Human Rights Act, a crucial legal safeguard against hate speech. Since then, our country has become a safe haven for extremists who openly promote violence, incite hatred, and threaten political leaders without consequence. The most glaring example is Andrew “Christo” Nelson, a self-admitted neo-Nazi whose threats against Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, U.S. President Joe Biden, and myself have been ignored by Canadian authorities.
Nelson’s messages are explicit in their intent: civil war, insurrection, and violence against those he views as enemies. Despite clear evidence of these threats, the RCMP and Canadian Human Rights Commission have refused to act, dismissing Nelson’s communications as non-criminal. This failure is not just a dereliction of duty—it’s a de-facto endorsement of hate.
The problem goes beyond one man’s vile words. Nelson’s ability to operate with impunity reflects a broader institutional collapse. The repeal of Section 13 has left Canada without a key tool to combat online hate, and our law enforcement agencies are failing to adapt to the digital age of extremism. The result is a fertile ground for hate groups who see Canada as a permissive environment to spread their dangerous ideologies.
The threats we face are not abstract. They are real, they are growing, and they are being ignored by those sworn to protect us. I have reached out to U.S. agencies, including the CIA and FBI, who recognize the cross-border implications of these threats. Canada must do the same.
Prime Minister Trudeau, your life is at risk, as is President Biden’s. The time to act is now. Reinstate Section 13, enhance enforcement mechanisms, and hold those who incite violence accountable. Canada’s reputation, our security, and our lives depend on it.

Document 1: Inquiry Letter to Human Rights Lawyers
Subject: Legal Inquiry: Potential Action Against Canadian Authorities for Inaction on Neo-Nazi Threats
To: [Lawyer’s Name or Law Firm]
Dear [Lawyer’s Name],
I am seeking legal advice regarding the possibility of pursuing legal action against Canadian authorities, specifically the RCMP and the Canadian Human Rights Commission (CHRC), for their failure to address ongoing threats made by Andrew “Christo” Nelson, a self-admitted neo-Nazi based in New Brunswick.
Nelson has issued explicit threats against myself, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, and U.S. President Joe Biden. Despite multiple reports to the RCMP and CHRC, these threats have been dismissed, leaving us without protection or recourse. This inaction represents a severe breach of duty and has placed us at significant risk.
I am considering the following legal avenues:
Civil Suit Against RCMP and CHRC: For negligence and failure to uphold their duties in protecting Canadian citizens from hate speech and threats of violence.
Protective Orders: Seeking legal protection for myself and other targeted individuals to prevent further threats and harassment from Nelson.
Class Action Suit: Exploring the potential for a class action on behalf of Canadian victims of hate speech and threats that have gone unaddressed since the repeal of Section 13 of the Canadian Human Rights Act.
I would appreciate your guidance on the feasibility of these actions, any potential legal challenges, and the next steps we should consider. Your expertise in human rights and civil law is invaluable, and I look forward to discussing how we can hold Canadian institutions accountable for their failures.
Thank you for your time and attention to this matter.

Statement of Claims: Marie Seshat Landry vs. RCMP, CHRC, and Government of Canada
1. Nature of the Claim: This claim arises from the ongoing threats and hate speech perpetrated by Andrew “Christo” Nelson, a neo-Nazi based in Canada, and the failure of Canadian institutions, including the RCMP and the Canadian Human Rights Commission (CHRC), to take action. The lack of response has placed the claimant, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, and U.S. President Joe Biden at severe risk.
2. Claims and Legal Basis:

Document 1: Letter to Amnesty International/Human Rights Watch
Subject: Urgent Appeal: Canada’s Failure to Act on Neo-Nazi Threats Against Political Leaders and Citizens
To: [Amnesty International/Human Rights Watch Contact Name or Office]
Dear [Recipient’s Name],
I am writing to bring to your urgent attention the escalating threats from Andrew “Christo” Nelson, a self-admitted neo-Nazi based in Canada, who has issued explicit calls for violence against Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, U.S. President Joe Biden, and myself. Despite clear evidence of these threats and multiple reports to Canadian authorities, including the RCMP and the Canadian Human Rights Commission (CHRC), there has been no meaningful action taken to address this dangerous situation.
Nelson’s hate-filled messages are part of a broader trend of rising extremism in Canada, fueled in part by the 2013 repeal of Section 13 of the Canadian Human Rights Act, which previously provided protections against hate speech. The inaction of Canadian institutions has created an environment where extremists feel emboldened, and the lives of those targeted by these threats are at significant risk.
I am seeking your support to:
Investigate Canada’s Handling of Hate Speech and Threats: I urge your organization to investigate and report on the failure of Canadian authorities to protect citizens from hate speech and extremist threats, highlighting the broader human rights implications.
Advocate for Legislative Reform: Press the Canadian government to reinstate Section 13 or introduce new, robust hate speech laws that address the current gaps and protect vulnerable individuals from targeted harassment and violence.
Provide International Oversight and Pressure: Leverage your platform to bring global attention to Canada’s inaction, urging the government to fulfill its duty to safeguard human rights and public safety.
Your involvement would significantly amplify the call for action and help protect those at risk from further harm. I am available to provide any additional information or evidence that may assist in your advocacy efforts.
Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to your support in holding Canadian authorities accountable for their failure to act against extremism.

Document 2: Petition Draft to the United Nations Human Rights Council
Title: Petition to the United Nations Human Rights Council: Address Canada’s Failure to Combat Hate Speech and Protect Citizens from Extremist Threats
Petitioner: Marie Seshat Landry, CEO, OSINT Spymaster & Peacemaker
Date: September 14, 2024
Background:
This petition calls on the United Nations Human Rights Council to address the ongoing and systemic failure of Canadian authorities to combat hate speech and protect citizens from threats posed by extremist groups, specifically those aligned with neo-Nazi ideologies. The repeal of Section 13 of the Canadian Human Rights Act in 2013 has left a legal vacuum that extremists have exploited, resulting in significant threats against political leaders, including Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and U.S. President Joe Biden.
Key Issues:
Inaction by Canadian Authorities: Despite multiple credible threats made by Andrew “Christo” Nelson, a self-admitted neo-Nazi, Canadian institutions, including the RCMP and the Canadian Human Rights Commission, have failed to take action, thereby failing to protect those targeted by hate speech and incitement to violence.
Human Rights Violations: The lack of legal protections against hate speech in Canada constitutes a violation of the basic human rights to safety, dignity, and freedom from discrimination, as recognized by international law.
Threats to National and International Security: Nelson’s threats are not limited to Canadian figures but extend to U.S. President Biden, highlighting the cross-border implications of Canada’s failure to act. This poses a broader risk to international stability and security.
Requests:
Investigation and Reporting: We urge the UNHRC to investigate Canada’s failure to address hate speech and extremism, particularly the negligence displayed by law enforcement and human rights bodies in handling cases like that of Andrew Nelson.
Call for Legislative Action: Recommend that Canada reinstate Section 13 of the Canadian Human Rights Act or introduce equivalent legislation that effectively addresses hate speech and extremist threats.
International Oversight: Implement international oversight measures to ensure Canada complies with its obligations to protect human rights and address the growing threats posed by extremism within its borders.
Conclusion:
The undersigned calls on the United Nations Human Rights Council to take immediate action to hold Canada accountable for its failures and to protect those targeted by hate speech and extremist threats. Our collective safety and the integrity of our democratic institutions depend on decisive and urgent action.

Document 1: Letter to Influential MPs and Senators
Subject: Urgent Appeal: Reinstate Section 13 to Combat Rising Hate and Protect Canadians
To: [MP/Senator’s Name]
Dear [MP/Senator’s Name],
I am writing to express my deep concern over the growing threat of extremism and hate speech in Canada, fueled by the repeal of Section 13 of the Canadian Human Rights Act in 2013. As a Canadian citizen and CEO of OSINT Spymaster & Peacemaker, I have been personally targeted by Andrew “Christo” Nelson, a self-admitted neo-Nazi based in New Brunswick, who has also issued threats against Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and U.S. President Joe Biden.
Despite clear evidence of incitement to violence, Canadian authorities, including the RCMP and the Canadian Human Rights Commission (CHRC), have failed to take action. This inaction not only endangers those of us directly targeted but also sends a dangerous message that hate speech and extremism are tolerated in Canada.
I am urgently calling on you to:
Advocate for the Reinstatement of Section 13: The removal of this critical legal tool has left Canadians vulnerable to hate speech. I urge you to champion the reinstatement of Section 13 or support the introduction of equivalent legislation to address these dangerous gaps.
Hold Law Enforcement Accountable: The RCMP and CHRC’s failure to act on clear threats highlights a systemic problem that needs immediate redress. Parliament must hold these institutions accountable for their duty to protect Canadians.
Support Stronger Hate Speech Laws: Beyond Section 13, Canada needs updated and robust laws that reflect the realities of the digital age, where extremism spreads rapidly online. Stronger enforcement mechanisms are crucial to ensure public safety.
Canada’s reputation as a leader in human rights is at stake. The failure to address hate speech and extremist threats not only endangers individuals but undermines our democracy and the values we stand for. Your leadership in Parliament could make a critical difference in protecting Canadians from this growing threat.
Thank you for your attention to this urgent matter. I look forward to your support and actions in Parliament to combat hate and extremism.

Title: Petition to the House of Commons: Reinstatement of Section 13 to Combat Hate Speech and Protect Canadians
To the House of Commons in Parliament Assembled:
We, the undersigned, citizens and residents of Canada, draw the attention of the House to the following:
Whereas the repeal of Section 13 of the Canadian Human Rights Act in 2013 has removed a vital safeguard against hate speech, leaving Canada vulnerable to the spread of extremist ideologies and incitement to violence;
Whereas hate speech and neo-Nazi activities have increased in Canada, as exemplified by Andrew “Christo” Nelson’s threats against Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, U.S. President Joe Biden, and Canadian citizens, demonstrating a severe lapse in public safety and protection;
Whereas the RCMP and Canadian Human Rights Commission (CHRC) have failed to adequately respond to credible threats, highlighting a critical failure of Canadian institutions to protect individuals from targeted hate and extremism;
We, the undersigned, therefore request that the House of Commons:
Reinstate Section 13 of the Canadian Human Rights Act or introduce equivalent legislation that addresses hate speech in the digital age, providing Canadians with legal recourse against hate and extremism.
Implement stronger enforcement mechanisms to hold individuals and groups accountable for hate speech, incitement, and threats of violence, ensuring that law enforcement fulfills its duty to protect all Canadians.
Conduct a formal review of the RCMP and CHRC’s handling of hate speech and extremist threats, to identify failures and implement necessary reforms.
We urge Parliament to take immediate and decisive action to protect Canadians from the growing threat of hate speech and extremism.

Exploring the Unconstitutionality of the Repeal of Section 13 of the Canadian Human Rights Act
By Marie Seshat Landry, CEO, OSINT Spymaster & Peacemaker
Introduction
The repeal of Section 13 of the Canadian Human Rights Act in 2013, spearheaded by Stephen Harper’s Conservative government, has sparked ongoing debates about the implications for Canadian society, particularly regarding the spread of hate speech and extremist ideologies. This decision, framed as a victory for free speech, has undermined Canada's commitment to protecting individuals from hate speech, endangering vulnerable communities and threatening public safety.
This document explores the potential unconstitutionality of the removal of Section 13, arguing that the repeal conflicts with Canada’s constitutional principles and fails to balance free speech rights with the obligation to protect citizens from hate and discrimination.
Section 13: Purpose and Legal Framework
Section 13 of the Canadian Human Rights Act prohibited the communication of messages that were likely to expose individuals to hatred or contempt based on race, religion, sexual orientation, or other protected grounds. It provided a civil mechanism, separate from criminal prosecution, to address hate speech, offering recourse for individuals targeted by harmful and discriminatory rhetoric.
The key objectives of Section 13 were to:
Protect Vulnerable Groups from hate speech and discrimination.
Promote Social Harmony by curbing the spread of harmful ideologies.
Provide a Non-Criminal Recourse for addressing hate speech, allowing for corrective measures without resorting to criminal charges.
Constitutional Context: The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms
The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms guarantees fundamental freedoms, including freedom of expression (Section 2(b)). However, these rights are not absolute. Section 1 of the Charter allows for reasonable limits on rights and freedoms, provided that such limits are justifiable in a free and democratic society.
The Supreme Court of Canada has repeatedly affirmed that freedom of expression does not extend to speech that promotes hate or discrimination. In landmark cases such as R. v. Keegstra (1990), the Court upheld hate speech laws as constitutionally valid, emphasizing that protecting vulnerable groups from harm is a compelling objective that can justify limitations on free expression.
Arguments for the Unconstitutionality of the Repeal
Failure to Balance Competing Rights
The repeal of Section 13 disregards the Charter’s requirement to balance freedom of expression with the protection of individuals from hate speech. The Supreme Court has recognized that while freedom of speech is vital, it must be weighed against the harm that certain forms of expression can inflict on individuals and society. The removal of Section 13 tips this balance in favor of unrestricted speech, ignoring the real and documented harm caused by hate propaganda.Undermining Section 1 of the Charter
By repealing Section 13, the government effectively removed a reasonable and proportionate limit on free speech that had been established to protect the public from hate. The Supreme Court’s decision in R. v. Keegstra demonstrated that hate speech laws serve a pressing and substantial objective—one that is consistent with the values of a democratic society. The Harper government’s actions undermined this principle, disregarding the Charter’s intent to allow for reasonable restrictions on harmful expression.Erosion of Equality Rights (Section 15 of the Charter)
Section 15 of the Charter guarantees equality rights and protection from discrimination. The removal of Section 13 disproportionately affects marginalized groups, including racial, religious, and LGBTQ+ communities, by stripping them of a critical tool for combating hate speech. This erosion of protections violates the Charter’s commitment to ensuring equal treatment and safeguarding vulnerable populations from harm.Failure to Protect Public Safety and Social Harmony
The Charter’s Preamble emphasizes Canada’s commitment to maintaining a free and democratic society founded on principles of peace, order, and good government. The repeal of Section 13 contravenes this commitment by allowing the unchecked spread of hate speech, which has direct implications for public safety and social cohesion. Hate speech has been linked to increased violence, radicalization, and social division, contradicting the Charter’s broader goals.Neglect of Canada’s International Human Rights Obligations
Canada is a signatory to several international human rights treaties, including the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR), which obliges states to prohibit advocacy of hatred that incites discrimination, hostility, or violence. The repeal of Section 13 places Canada in potential violation of its international commitments, further highlighting the unconstitutionality of this legislative action.
Conclusion: A Call for Constitutional Review and Legislative Reinstatement
The repeal of Section 13 of the Canadian Human Rights Act represents a failure to uphold the constitutional principles enshrined in the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. By removing this key protection against hate speech, the Harper government prioritized a narrow interpretation of free speech over the rights and safety of vulnerable Canadians.
Given the clear constitutional issues raised by this repeal, there is a compelling argument for a judicial review to assess its legality and for Parliament to consider reinstating Section 13 or introducing equivalent legislation. A balanced approach that protects free expression while safeguarding against hate is essential for maintaining a just and democratic society.
Recommendations:
Reinstatement of Section 13 or Equivalent Legislation: To restore balance and protect Canadians from hate speech.
Constitutional Challenge: Encouraging civil society groups to pursue legal challenges against the repeal, arguing that it contravenes Charter rights.
Parliamentary Review: A formal review of the repeal’s impact on public safety, equality rights, and Canada’s international obligations.
The repeal of Section 13 was not just a policy error—it was a constitutional misstep that has left Canadians vulnerable to hate. It’s time to correct this course and reaffirm Canada’s commitment to protecting all its citizens from harm.
