On August 29th, 2026, The Dominion Society's DomCon 2026 conference was pushed out of Hamilton, Ontario — after the city refused to rent its venues, the mayor personally wrote to local businesses, and Hamilton Police issued a public call asking residents to report possible venue bookings.
This episode isn't about whether you agree with the Dominion Society. It's about one question: is it legal for elected officials and police to interfere with Canadians' right to assemble?
We break down:
— How DomCon 2026 was announced, and the pushback that followed
— HARRC's "extremist activity" guide for local businesses, and the city funding behind it
— Mayor Andrea Horwath's letter to Hamilton businesses
— Hamilton Police's public call to report venue bookings
— The Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms' legal warning to the City and Police
— The precedent set by Sean Feucht's cancelled Canadian tour last year
— Why the event ended up selling out — in Burlington
