OTTAWA, Ontario, November 18, 2011 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Canada’s federal government has officially backed a private members bill seeking to repeal a controversial ‘hate speech’ provision that has been used to prosecute Christians and other conservatives for years.
In response to a question on Wednesday by Conservative MP Brian Storseth (Westlock-St. Paul, AB), who introduced the bill to repeal section 13 of the Canada Human Rights Act on September 30, Justice Minister Rob Nicholson signaled what is likely the clause’s death knell.
The ruling Conservatives have a sizeable majority in both houses and the bill is also expected to draw some support from the opposition benches.
“Our government believes that section 13 is not an appropriate or effective means for combatting hate propaganda. We believe the Criminal Code is the best vehicle to prosecute these crimes,” he told the House of Commons during Question Period.
“I say to the opposition, get on side with the media,” he continued. “Maclean’s magazine, the National Post and even the Toronto Star say this section should go.”

Indeed, this is a good sign.
Now all they need is a 2nd amendment.
Does this mean they will stop persecuting Christians, comedians, columnists and others?
They’re suppose to be doing away with the gun registry too.
The government did.
Its likely in the Senate. Once the senate goes over it, checking for flaws, it will then be sent back to the House to become voted into law.
Now all they need is a 2nd amendment.
I have lots of guns and tons of ammo to go with them ,bought before that Canadian Firearms Registry(blah)
Please, Mr. Clark won’t you be our President! Obama has already nullifed that foreign born thing.
Ah a day of fresh air. This combined with the unanimous court ruling that the people’s propositions in California deserve the weight and gravity voted for whether or not public officials agree with them or not. i.e. prop 8.
yes. yes. yes. Thank you Jesus and worldly warriors!!! :-D
Excellent news, eh?
And to start deporting ragheads that refuse to assimilate.
If that happens and global warming kicks in I'm moving my Orchid farm to Saskatchewan if Obama gets re-elected.
it’s the eastern elite, especially the quebecers that want a hate speech law because they hate everyone that’s not a francophile.
Thanks for the ping Bamahead!
Does this mean a pastor can preach the truth?
