Tomasz Winnicki joined the race Tuesday for the city’s top political job, a move that likely holds little political significance for London but will no doubt shock many in the Forest City.
Winnicki’s hate speech has been the frequent focus of Free Press reports in the past, and he’s been at the forefront of the city’s white supremacy movement.
He’s appeared at rallies and loaded websites with profanity-laced diatribes about blacks, Jews, other non-whites and non-Christians.
Reached Tuesday night, Winnicki agreed he’s a controversial figure.
“Controversial? Absolutely,” he said. “(But) anything is controversial now.
Just about anything — they say this guy’s controversial, that guy’s controversial.
“You can say that about anybody.”
Winnicki, whose Wikipedia profile states he’s 35, made dubious history in 2006 when he became the first white supremacist in Canada jailed for breaking a court order to stop posting hate messages online.
The controversy made Winnicki something of a hero to white supremacists across North America.
Winnicki served some time in jail before appealing the sentence.
Canada’s human rights tribunal also ordered Winnicki to pay $11.500 in fines and compensation.more
