"Be prepared for what will happen to you."

OK. If you don't mind, I won't hold my breath waiting,:)

This is what you and others refer to,


Bill C-250

Her Majesty, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate and House of Commons of Canada, enacts as follows:

1. Subsection 318(4) of the Criminal Code is replaced by the following:

(4) In this section, "identifiable group" means any section of the public distinguished by colour, race, religion, ethnic origin or sexual orientation.

2.
319(3): No person shall be convicted of an offence under subsection (2)

2. Paragraph 319(3)(b) of the Act is replaced by the following:
...
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

Section 319(3) of the CCC states that no person shall be convicted of an offence under this legislation if he establishes that the statements communicated were true.

I have read of numerous instances where citizens of Canada were fined for saying "politically incorrect and hurtful things". Anyone can lodge a complaint, it then goes ot the human right commission which then issues a punishment, usually a heafty fine.
