A Trans activist and self-proclaimed “true community builder” has been charged with two counts of hate-motivated assault in relation to pushing around Christian protester Josh Alexander last month.
Taylor McNallie, 32, is the second so-called “anti-racist” activist charged with a hate-crime in Calgary this month.
Calgary police released a statement on Friday.
“On Wednesday, May 17, 2023, officers were on scene to support public safety during a protest that began around 10 a.m. The number of protestors fluctuated throughout the day, with an estimated crowd count of 80 people,” the statement reads.
“During the event, a fight broke out between several individuals of opposing views. The situation escalated to a physical altercation resulting in a number of individuals assaulting one youth and one man.”
The police statement continues, “Taylor MCNALLIE, 32, of Calgary, has been charged with two counts of assault, one count of sexual assault, and one count of unlawful confinement.”
“After an investigation by the Hate Crime Prevention Team, hate motivation has been applied to the charges.”
McNallie is set to appear in court on July 7, 2023.
McNallie’s personal website states that she “dedicates her time to seeking racial justice and collective liberation through education and hands-on work with both marginalized communities and allies alike. As the co-creator of Inclusive Canada, she provides education on anti-racism, white supremacy, and anti-Blackness.”
Earlier this week, the President of Black Lives Matter (BLM) Calgary was also charged with a hate crime for obstructing access to a Catholic school based on ethnicity.
The Calgary BLM President, Adora Nwofor, was charged with mischief following a May 16 incident at St. Thomas Aquinas School “for reasons of bias, prejudice, or hate based on race or ethnic origin,” as reported by the National Post.
The court records allege Nwofor is guilty of “wilfully obstructing and interfering” citizens from accessing a property that’s “primarily used for religious worship and educational purposes.”
Two months prior to being charged, the defund-the-police advocate Nwofor tweeted that she “will never stop being bitter about my Black girl experience in Calgary…I don’t see Black people and if I do they don’t feel safe to do Blackness.”
She added, “Systemic oppression ain’t stopped winning. I won’t stop interrupting it! Immaculéea (sic) Threat.”
UPDATE: The Crown has since stated the hate-related allegations against Nwofor was a clerifcal error. See more here: UPDATE: Crown withdraws BLM Calgary leader hate crime allegation (thecountersignal.com)
