Bill Whatcott , Canada’s most outspoken anti-gay activist has abandoned his homeland for the Philippines where he hopes the people will be more receptive to his hateful views on homosexuality.
Settled in his new home in Lipa, Philippines, about 185 kilometres south of the capital, Manila, Whatcott has already starting to work with prison inmates and the locals.
“There is a sizable Christian community and they are happy to listen to me. I have been sharing different reflections on Christ and the nature of faith with a group of church ladies here in my local area,” Whatcott, who is married to a Filipino, wrote in a post on freenorthamerica.ca.
“The news of my departure from Canada has generated interest in left wing circles. Most of what they said was quite nasty, but I guess they read my updates at Free North America or else they would not have known.”
"There's a certain level of sadness," he told the National Post ."I don't know if I am gone forever, and I reserve the right to come back when I see fit. But right now, I'm healing and resting."
Whatcott and his wife Joni don't have much money, he concedes. But the 47-yearold said he's taking mechanic courses and hopes to start his own business.
"I don't have any guarantee that's going to happen," he said, "but we're going to try. I'm going to a mechanics school, and that's interesting. The schools here are far happier with the types of views I express than the universities in Canada, obviously."
The paper said the former nurse has spent the past decade engaged in vocal, aggressive activism on a range of topics, from abortion to homosexuality, in Ontario, Saskatchewan and Alberta. He's hosted heterosexual pride parades. He's run for mayor. 
He's evangelized under the ersatz banner of the Flying Spaghetti Monster in a bid to hand out anti-gay condoms. But it was his graphic anti-gay flyers that put him in the national spotlight, The National Post said.
Saskatchewan attempted to fine Whatcott $17,500 to be paid to four complainants. The rule was appealed and in 2013, the Supreme Court of Canada struck down part of the Saskatchewan Human Rights Code but upheld much else - essentially legitimizing much of the code that restricts hate speech in Canada.
"Really, I was forced out of Canada," he said. 
Before leaving for the Philippines, Whatcott wrote to his followers. Here is an excerpt of his note…
“My ministry to Canada has come to an end, at least for the foreseeable future. My ministry wrapped up about the way I would have wanted it to. 
I spent my final day in Canada putting out the last of my flyers "Imagine Defunding the CBC" around the east end of Vancouver. I was not particularly surprised that most of the responses were negative, however Vancouver's recipients of my truthful message have been far less vitriolic than the recipients in Kamloops a few days earlier.
Now, I am in the Philippines with my wife. 
I have pretty much given the last quarter century of my life to fighting for a Judeo Christian vision for Canada, especially in the areas of life, sexuality and family. I also fought very hard for free speech and religious freedom for social conservative Christians.
While the path I chose was somewhat controversial, devastating to my secular career prospects in Canada, and indeed a path that rendered me a pariah in the eyes of many, I am quite happy with some of what I accomplished. On the abortion front I am very happy there are a number of children alive as a direct result of my graphic abortion sign and sidewalk counseling ministries. 
My fights with the various university campuses that have tried to have me arrested and banned for preaching against homosexuality and abortion have been very successful. I won multiple court cases against the University of Regina and University of Calgary and made my presence known on many other campuses across the country, challenging attempts at censorship on the University of Alberta, University of Saskatchewan, Carlton University and University of British Columbia campuses.
As far as I can tell, the courts have affirmed the right to preach, protest and hand out literature on politically incorrect topics such as abortion and homosexuality on university campuses, even if the university administrations are hostile to the message.
However, I have to concede defeat in my primary objectives of securing a robust level of free speech for my social conservative brethren and in activating large numbers of Christians to take a public stand against the homosexual agenda.
Anyways, I did the best I could with what I had. As a legacy I have a book published, "Born in a Graveyard" though I am not making any money off it in Canada.
It is nice to be in the Philippines with my wife. I really have no idea what I will be doing here. I am heading to a trade school right now to see if I can learn some mechanics. My wife and I are poor as I left Canada with very little. However we have family and God. “
