A man from Saskatoon accused of inciting hatred in public is now facing two additional charges: intentionally promoting hatred and promoting antisemitism by endorsing, minimizing, or denying the Holocaust. Brandon Taylor Moore, aged 45, appeared in Saskatoon provincial court on Tuesday, where the prosecution announced the new charges.
Moore was initially charged in December following an investigation into complaints regarding antisemitic remarks made online. Additionally, he is facing a charge of improper firearm storage after law enforcement seized a firearm from his residence.
The new charges necessitate approval from the province’s attorney general before they can be officially filed. The Ministry of Justice confirmed that the attorney general had sanctioned the charges but declined to provide further comments, citing ongoing legal proceedings.
Following his arrest, Moore was released on December 18, 2025, under specific conditions, including refraining from posting on the internet or social media and staying away from Jewish community centers.
Richard Robertson, the research director at the Jewish human rights organization B’Nai Brith, expressed hope that the new charges would act as a deterrent and convey a strong message about the repercussions of propagating hate online. Robertson emphasized the significance of the antisemitism promotion charge, highlighting its pivotal role in the accusations against Moore.
According to Robertson, Moore exploited his online presence to encourage and provoke others to engage in hateful conduct. Moore’s X account remains active, although there have been no recent posts since December 17, 2025. Prior to that date, the account frequently featured content targeting Jewish individuals, including conspiracy theories and Holocaust denial.
Formerly employed as a real estate agent, Moore had his real estate trading license revoked by his brokerage in Saskatchewan on May 23, 2024, according to the Saskatchewan Real Estate Commission.
During the court proceedings, Moore’s defense lawyer withdrew from the case, leaving Moore to represent himself. The judge provided instructions to Moore on accessing and handling the disclosure – the evidence to be used by the prosecution in the case.
Moore acknowledged the instructions and assured the judge of complying with the guidelines. When leaving the courthouse, Moore opted not to provide any comments. His next court appearance is scheduled for February 24.
