Man accused of making antisemitic social media posts is charged with 3 hate crimes

Police say the X account posts prompted an investigation that led to charges requiring Ontario attorney general consent.

  • On September 9, Hamilton Police arrested 27-year-old Simran Mander of Stoney Creek following an investigation into online hate content. He faces charges of wilful promotion of hatred, wilful promotion of antisemitism, and advocating genocide.
  • The Hamilton Police Hate Crime Unit launched an investigation in July 2025 after receiving a report about 'concerning content' posted to social media. Investigators identified Mander as the individual believed to be operating the account.
  • Laying specific charges under the Criminal Code of Canada requires formal consent from the Ontario Attorney General. Following this authorization, Police proceeded with Mander's arrest on September 9.
  • None of the charges have been proved in court. Hamilton Police stated Saturday that hate crimes significantly impact individuals and targeted communities, underscoring the investigation's importance.
  • Anyone who believes they witnessed a hate crime is encouraged to contact Hamilton Police at 905-546-4925. Anonymous tips can also be submitted through Crime Stoppers to assist investigators.
