Legislation proposed in the Canadian province of Ontario would criminalize public displays by Christians deemed hateful to Muslims, the LGBT community and other victim groups designated by the left.

The bill, “Prohibiting Hate-Promoting Demonstrations at Queen’s Park Act, 2019,” bans any demonstration, rally or other activity that is deemed hateful by the Speaker from being permissible on legislative grounds – effectively insulating the government from Christian speech.

Life Site News explains that the nebulous nature of Canada’s anti-hate laws essentially give leftist legislators carte blanche to ban all Christian protest:

The problem with this bill, however, lies in the fact that the definition of “hate” is uncertain under Canadian law. As a result, unfortunately, the use of the word “hate” can be a useful tool for some to prevent differing views from being expressed. That is, the word “hate” can be used to silence opposing views expressed when, in fact, the views are simply a reasonable expression of belief.

This concern is based on actual experience. Canadians have already experienced the contempt shown by the Supreme Court of Canada towards Section 2 of the Charter of Rights which provides for freedom of opinion, expression and religion. In the Trinity Western Christian University case (2018), a private Christian university’s moral covenant was deemed hateful and discriminating. In the Bill Whatcott case (2013), the Supreme Court of Canada concluded that the effects of an expression used, not the communicator’s intent, are what is relevant...

This is Ontario.

What you said would be like blaming Trump for New York’s laws.

But Trudeau is a piece of garbage.

I'd go up to Toronto to join a demonstration but:

Upon arrest they'd find I wasn't a citizen and they'd deport me.And once you've been deported by one country no other country will allow you to enter.

Freedom is easily lost. Getting it back requires a revolution.

Many/most of the western elites are pedophiles. They seek to reform our laws to denigrate those who oppose pedophilia.

It’s why islam is a protected entity.

It sounds like Canada hates Christians. Therefore, Canada is guilty of a hate crime.

How does one get to be a “victim group”? They can’t be Christian, or white, and especially not hard-working and decent. The more depraved and hateful you are, the more you’re entitled to be a special class with extra rights that others don’t have.

And what about displays by Muslims deemed hateful to Christians like public calls to prayer?

Apparently, in Canada it’s perfectly okay to hate Christians.

We must take back our culture. That is where the revolution needs to begin.

Partner, u got that right & we hear ya loud and clear!

We need to ask Canada how that Government controlled health care is working out for ya.

That "America Hating Piece of Work Obama" got that Government Health Care thru a DemonRat vote in our Congress and I will not tell ya how that turned our since u already know.

BTW, Government Controlled Health Has Never Worked Where It Is Tried".

There is a 5 to 6 month wait in Canada to get an MRI and that my friends is why Canadians are coming to the USA to get an MRI.

"How do u like them apples?"

We can at least avoid buying products made there. For example, if the first number on a vehicle's VIN is 2, it was built in Canada.

Speak with your wallet.
