   Alberta doesn't have enough bad rep already? That enough people would back   
   this kind of guy as even a candidate says whole lot about Albertans.

   Racist mayoral candidate Kevin J. Johnston is about to have all Calgary   
   voters' names, addresses

   In the not-so-distant future, a man who has a history of racist, hateful,   
   allegedly violent behaviour and is attempting to publish the private   
   information of Alberta Health Services employees is set to receive a list that   
   includes the names, addresses    
   and phone numbers of every Calgarian eligible to vote.   
      
   That's because Kevin J. Johnston, known for organizing, leading and speaking   
   at far-right protests against government-imposed pandemic restrictions, is   
   running for mayor of Calgary.   
      
   In his capacity as an official candidate, Johnston will receive voter   
   information for everyone in the city the day after nominations close in   
   September.   
      
   Johnston is currently facing an assault charge in B.C., hate crimes charges in   
   Ontario and has made numerous posts online attempting to get the addresses of   
   AHS employees with threats to show up at their homes armed.   
      
   But when reached for comment by CBC News, Johnston said he did not issue   
   threats.   
      
   "That's absolutely inaccurate," said Johnston. "What I've done is I've issued   
   a promise."

   personal information of Alberta Health Services employees. (Kevin J

   'I'll arm myself and I'll come right to your doors'   
      
   On his social media channels, Johnston makes it clear he is anti-mask,   
   anti-vaccine and a COVID denier, with the majority of his rage directed at AHS   
   employees, current Calgary Mayor Naheed Nenshi and the city's police officers.   
      
   One AHS inspector, in particular, has been the target of Johnston's rage, with   
   the mayoral candidate asking his followers to track down her address. He has   
   also posted photos of the woman, her husband and children online for his   
   thousands of followers.    
   Johnston says he obscured the faces of the children.   
      
   "You're all going to be in handcuffs," said Johnston, addressing AHS employees   
   on his radio webcast on Saturday, after he took videos of his friends Artur   
   and Dawid Pawlowski being arrested by Calgary police officers.   
      
   The Pawlowski brothers have been organizing illegal church services in   
   defiance of public health restrictions throughout the pandemic.   
      
   "I'm coming for you all," he told AHS workers. "If SWAT won't come, it's   
   simple, I'll arm myself and I'll come right to your doors."   
      
   The Calgary Police Service says it is "deeply concerned" that the personal   
   information of its members and others in the community is set to be   
   distributed to candidates.   
      
   WATCH | Calgary mayoral candidate vows to go after AHS workers in online video:   
      
   Kevin J. Johnston says he has their home addresses and is determined to make   
   the lives of some Alberta Health Services staff "uncomfortable." 0:35   
      
   In a written statement provided to CBC News, CPS said it is "working with the   
   city in an attempt to limit the disclosure."   
      
   "Our members, along with those of our partner agencies, are at considerable   
   risk of harassment and retaliation from those in the community who may choose   
   to harm them and their families," said CPS in its statement.   
      
   "This is especially concerning if a mayoral candidate has ill intentions and   
   has expressed a desire to cause harm."   
      
   It's legal to dox, says Johnston   
      
   Weeks ago, Johnston posted another message to AHS employees telling them   
   "we've got seven of your home addresses so far."   
      
   Johnston said he would put their names and addresses into a lawsuit and then   
   distribute the documents.   
      
   "It is legal to dox somebody and that's exactly how we're going to do it. So   
   AHS, your comfortable little lives are going to be very uncomfortable so long   
   as I am in Alberta which is going to be a very long time."   
      
   Dox is a slang term for publicly identifying or publishing someone's private   
   information.   
      
   Initially in the phone interview with CBC News, Johnston said he was not   
   attempting to dox anyone. But when asked about the comments he made regarding   
   legal doxing through court documents, he said, "Yeah, so what? It's true."   
      
   If information gleaned from doxing is used in certain ways — for example, to   
   harass someone — police can get involved.   
      
   Johnston has a history of posting alarmingly racist and hateful comments   
   online.   
      
   In March, Johnston was selling coffee in Calgary using blatantly racist   
   branding, calling it "Wasted Native" with the slogan, "Forget gas, huff this"   
   accompanied by an equally disturbing logo.   
      
   More recently, Johnston posted a video suggesting he take a photo of himself   
   in front of an image of Calgary Mayor Naheed Nenshi hanging from a noose.   
      
   Criminal charges in 2 provinces   
      
   There are allegations that Johnston's behaviour has crossed the line from   
   threats to violence.   
      
   In March, video shows Johnston punching a grocery store employee in a Dawson   
   Creek, B.C., parking lot after he was kicked out of the shop for refusing to   
   wear a mask.   
      
   Johnston was charged with assault and will next appear in a B.C. courtroom on   
   May 18.   
      
   There are more looming criminal charges against Johnston.   
      
   In 2017, police in Mississauga, Ont., charged Johnston with hate crimes after   
   he posted a YouTube video offering a $1,000 reward for video recordings of   
   Muslim students "spewing hate speech during Friday prayers."   
      
   Peel Regional Police said at the time that the charge of wilful promotion of   
   hatred against an identifiable group followed "numerous" incidents and   
   concerns over information published on various social media sites.   
      
   Johnston has not yet gone to trial on those charges, with his next court date   
   set for June.   
      
   Neither the B.C. nor the Ontario charges have been proven in court.   
   Johnston is facing an assault charge in B.C. after allegedly punching a   
   grocery store employee after he'd been kicked out of the store for refusing to   
   wear a mask. (justice.gov.bc.ca)   
      
   'Hate speech at its worst'   
      
   In 2019, an Ontario judge issued a ruling in a libel suit filed against   
   Johnston, calling his behaviours a "loathsome example of hate speech at its   
   worst, targeting people solely because of their religion."
