Criminal code hatred charges looming for Chilliwack woman’s ongoing social media campaign of racism

Christine Loughead was due in court Monday as RCMP applied to continue to detain her iPhone for promotion, incitement of hatred case

When deciding on newsworthiness of a crime story, there is an inversely proportional relationship between the notoriety of a person and how serious a charge they are facing. 

This is an instinctual journalistic principle that says if the mayor gets caught shoplifting that’s a story, and if someone you have never heard of robs a bank that’s a story. 

But if someone you’ve never heard of gets caught shoplifting, that’s not.

All that is to say that if someone you have never heard of is facing an unusual criminal charge and they desperately want attention for this fact, what is a journalist to do?

Christine Loughead is an unemployed nobody who lives in Chilliwack who also happens to be unabashedly racist. The more attention she gets in terms of backlash and anger, the more support she gets from the tiny but loud community of fellow public racists on social media, however, she is facing serious criminal charges that are somewhat unusual.

Six months ago I first covered her case as it was getting considerable attention on local social media groups because people knew she lived in Chilliwack, and she was due in court Monday (July 28, 2025) facing an RCMP application to keep possession of her iPhone that was first seized many months ago.

Attention-seeking dilemma

So should it be reported that Loughead is facing the criminal code charges of public incitement of hatred and wilful promotion of hatred? Too late, I just did.

The 52-year-old was first arrested in August 2024 after numerous complaints by local citizens. She was released on certain conditions, including to not use devices capable of accessing the internet, which she has violated almost every day since. 

RCMP officers investigated the case and forwarded the file to Crown counsel recommending charges last summer.

In an affidavit prepared by RCMP Const. Teresa Parsons in support of the further detention of her phone to be submitted at the hearing Monday, reasons given include that the phone was being sought for evidence in support of the recommended charges, and that Crown counsel has told police it needs more "investigative steps" to be completed before charge approval.

When I asked about the case in January five months after the arrest, RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Carmen Kiener told me they continue to receive tips and information and that the serious crimes unit was investigating.

“Given the amount of social media attention this matter has received, we plan to issue a media release once more information can be made publicly available,” Cpl. Kiener said in an email Jan. 14, 2025. “At this time we are not in a position to comment further.”

As far as I know, they never did issue that followup news release after an initial one in August 2024, and no other news outlet has reported on her looming charges, despite the fact that Loughead continues to spend her waking hours sharing racist memes, re-Tweeting online bigotry, and spreading hatred mostly targeted at the South Asian community with some anti-Black racism and anti-semitism.

Loughead has had approximately two dozen Twitter/X accounts because she keeps getting banned despite the fact that the platform gives almost free reign to many forms of hate speech. Some of her banned accounts include @racismisthecure, @racistforhitler, and @unclewasreicht. Her current account is @moreuberracist after @uberracist was banned. 

Loughead has used those platforms to call for violence to remove “brown and coloured” people from Canada. She posted videos of her accosting people of colour on the street in Chilliwack, and she hosted a Twitter/X audio session calling for violence towards coloured people. 

“All brown people need to leave all white countries that includes you,” she posted and “Get the browns out of our country.”

Loughead also posts extensive hateful anti-semitic content, including a Nazi-style listing of U.S. government officials, university leaders, and members of the media who are Jewish.

The most common ethnic slur she uses is “jeet” for South Asians. Even some of the people in her tiny circle of racists have pointed out to her that it’s not too smart and is in fact illegal to spread hatred so overtly.

“Yeh mate ur gunna get cooked when ur talking about sending jeets into the wood chipper,” @rettiwt_RT said to her two days ago, July 27, 2025. “You can make fun of them and even make the parasite comparison as its valid and can be argued. But u cant say ur gunna put them in a ring to fight to the death,” the latter a reference to an earlier post of hers about wanting to watch South Asians fight one another.

Loughead’s response?

“I mean it’s not like I have enough wood chippers for 6,000,000.”

If it wasn’t obvious that she is attention-seeking with her racist screeds, on Sunday (July 27, 2025) the day before she was due in court she shared screenshots of the entire notice of application filed by the RCMP. The documents were actually shared by a Twitter/X account @BlondeBigot11 who, when accused of doxxing Loughead by a fellow racist, said “She gave me these documents to post herself.”

Her husband Dean Neniska has a rickety old van advertised with Valley Cupboard Painting on the side and parks in front of their apartment. The company’s Facebook page has a logo with the Canadian Red Ensign that says “We serve White Europeans only.”

Despite her order to stay off the internet, she also created a GiveSendGo page that had raised $4,950 as of Monday, but at the end she claims it was typed by her husband to her dictation, a technicality to be sure. On the year-old fundraising page she explains that she was arrested and is clearly aware that posting online is a violation of her release conditions, pointing out that “without being convicted of any crimes I was banned from using the internet until my hearing in November.”

As recently as late Sunday night she put up half a dozen racist posts, including one with an image of people near a lighthouse on the east coast, some of them wearing turbans: “Lighthouses and shitskins is ridiculous! That’s like a Hindu temple in India and all you see are Swedish people.”

Just a few hours before posting this story, Loughead re-Tweeted a post by a now prominent racist, anti-LGBTQ residential school denialist, and another that said simply “Want to decrease crime by 98% Make the population 98% White.”

In between those two, she posted something incoherent and almost certainly inaccurate about her court hearing on Monday claiming Crown counsel didn’t notify her of a change of date and, since she didn’t attend, all they had to do was sign a document to keep her phone.

Prosecutors will likely charge her with the offences under section 319 of the criminal code soon. Like an addict – a psychologist could probably explain it – it’s clear she is desperate to gain followers on social media for being among a very tiny group of proud racists sharing hateful content all day every day, thumbing her nose at the police and the justice system.

And if she is just trying to be outrageous to the point of violating hate speech laws and trick people into giving her attention, well, sorry folks, I guess I fell for it.
