New ‘Hate Speech’ Bill Targets Canadians’ Freedom of Speech and Religion
The Daily Signal ^ | December 13, 2025 | Kevin Stocklin

Left-wing Canadian lawmakers are working to introduce a new bill that would end existing protections for people of faith against prosecution under national “hate speech” laws.

Canada’s Criminal Code, which bans what the government deems “hatred against any identifiable group,” contains a so-called religious exemption that protects Canadians who “in good faith” cite religious texts or beliefs. But the left-wing Liberal and Bloc Québécois parties are currently negotiating new legislation, Bill C-9, with an amendment that would remove this exemption.

I also hate murderers. Is that against the law?

If the bill’s sponsors hate haters, are they liable to be imprisoned under their newly passed law?

The USA has marxist enemies to the north and south (and internal blue areas).

This exactly the sort of thing that will lead to the dissolution of Canada.

Is it hate speech to call for jihad against the infidels?

The problem is, Canadians have assumed their government is benevolent, since Canada became a nation.

The government of Canada has been mostly benevolent. However it has gone full-out woke and globalist in the last 20 years or so. The Citizens still want to believe it is benevolent, and it uses fake benevolent language to shroud its descent into authoritarianism.

Canada has nothing like the diverse media, as we do in the United States. Most of Canadian media is government subsidized and controlled by Leftists.

Around the world:
United Kingdom: A pastor living in a campervan with the Bible verse John 3:16 printed on the back was warned by a police officer that the writing “could be seen as hate speech in the wrong context” and could be investigated if someone complained.

Finland: A prominent and ongoing case involves Dr. Päivi Räsänen, a Finnish parliamentarian, who has faced charges of “hate speech” for tweeting the text of Romans 1:24-27 in a post criticizing her church’s support for an LGBTQ event. She and a bishop, Juhana Pohjola, have undergone multiple court trials, including the Supreme Court, to determine whether publicly expressing faith-based beliefs on sexuality constitutes a crime in Finland.


Some of the other side....

Galatians 4:16 ESV.
Have I then become your enemy by telling you the truth?

2 Timothy 4:2-5 ESV / 92 helpful votes
Preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort, with complete patience and teaching. For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions, and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander off into myths. As for you, always be sober-minded, endure suffering, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.

1 Timothy 5:20 ESV.
As for those who persist in sin, rebuke them in the presence of all, so that the rest may stand in fear.

Proverbs 8:13 ESV.
The fear of the Lord is hatred of evil. Pride and arrogance and the way of evil and perverted speech I hate.

Hate speech laws have always been a means by which a government may muzzle a free people. Repeal these evil laws.

Let me guess…conservatives calling leftists “libtards” gets them a trip to the slammer; libs calling Conservatives “Nazis” and “fascists”, not so much.

The government of Canada is rapidly becoming an enemy of the United States of America.
