Our neighbors to the North continue to be the Ghosts of Legislative Future if we don’t get our act together. During the first session of the 44th parliament, Bloc Québécois party leader Yves-François Blanchet, introduced a private members bill that would remove religious exceptions to the law that criminalizes hate speech.
If someone is charged with hate speech in Canada, they can defend themselves in court by arguing they were, in good faith, making an argument based on their religious beliefs.
At present, in Canadian Criminal Code, the “religious exemption” in Section 319 states: “No person shall be convicted of a [hate crime] offense… if, in good faith, the person expressed or attempted to establish by an argument an opinion on a religious subject or an opinion based on a belief in a religious text.”
Bill C-367, which is supported by 2/3 of Canadians, would eliminate that defense.
The bill got through the first reading in the House of Commons but then stalled in the parliamentary process, prompting the party to retable the bill, now known as C-373, to jump start the discussion. The bill is currently outside the Order of Precedence, meaning it has yet to be selected for debate, but would surely pass if Justin Trudeau and his government get their hands on it.
One of the bill’s sponsors, Sylvie Bérubé, insisted the bill must be passed, noting “It is quite sad that some people use their position of influence, religious or civil, even impunity conferred to them, to incite violence and hatred…(this bill) is about preserving peace of mind amongst Quebecois and Canadians and all communities that hateful words that incite violence should never be protected by the Criminal Code,”

****”Will they do the same to the Koran”?*****
No...they won’t because only Christianity teaches love...oh wait...
Wow, Canada is so far gone…
…as if we’re far behind.
The spirit of antichrist and the (dark) Principalities and Powers are preparing the world 🌏🌎🌍 for the debut of Satan’s Antichrist and False Prophet.
Pay particular attention to verses 10-12
2 Peter 3:2-12
King James Version
2 That ye may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us the apostles of the Lord and Saviour:
3 Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,
4 And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.
5 For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:
6 Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:
7 But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.
8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,
12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?

Exactly, go read the Koran.
There bc are over 109 parables about killing the Jew and the infidel, striking them at the neck.
Where is the hate literature?????
Communists hate God.
Jesus is coming back and boy is he pissed.
When they create these laws, they give themselves the opportunity for selective prosecution.
It just increases their power even more.
People on FR can look at Canada, look at California, and see the future of the United States.
There is no separation of church and state in Canada.

Private Members Bills rarely get enacted into legislation

I doubt it, unfortunately.
And God in turn isn’t fond of them at all.
I don’t blame Him!
Why is there such a thing as “hate speech” anyway? Or “hate crimes?” Does it matter why a criminal assaulted, killed, or robbed somebody? That it was done with forethought and malice is enough for a conviction. No need for the Orwellian concept of “thought crimes,” ahem “hate crimes.”
