Lock Him Up!

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.

islam is a totalitarian death cult founded by a child rapist.
There! Another country I won’t visit or suggest defending…
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.
You asked for the opposite of President Trump, you got it Canada. Enjoy.
Is it hate speech to call for jihad against the infidels?
Lock Him Up!
Unreal. I need to forward this to some long-suffering conservative Canadian friends. Thanks for posting this.
islam pretends it’s the victim while destroying everything around it
Just another way for Leftists to outlaw opposition.
Where’s CanuckConservative these days, I’m note sure of handle…but he used to be prolific poster at odds with my views for sure.
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.
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.
I’m beginning to h8 Canaduh.
Am I now at risk?
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.
I thought they didn’t have “Freedom of Speech”..
