(2016-present) Massive attempts to punish Bill for passing out flyer during Toronto Gay Pride Parade

Bill and unnamed friends dressed up as "green zombies" and handed out flyers with Bible verses and health risk information during 2016 Toronto Gay Pride Parade. LGBT activists tried to sue him. The Ottawa government put him on trial to jail him, lost their case, and is now forcing him into court again. Included are:

• Absurd nationwide arrest warrant to arrest Bill charge him with a crime (2018)
