Morning Snowyman!
Boxsmith 13 is correct in stating that it is now **law** that in Canada we may not speak out against homosexuals, or the homosexual act, nor may we teach our children that this behaviour is deviant in any way. This law was passed finally (after much debate) about two weeks ago.
The penalty for violating this law is a heavy fine and five years in prison, - each count. I have been a missionary for over 30 years, and when what the government says conflicts with what the Bible says, - I know where my loyalties lie.
This is not unlike the new legislation in the States right now where people who send their children to Public School will find that there is now a law that "one must adopt a pro-Israel position, or not attend school."
We home-educated our kids, since the public schools in the U.S. and Canada are pathetic, and Britain (once excellent) isn't much better. They are all Federally run, and **must** follow the UN's GLOBAL CURRICULUM. Cute, eh? Of course, the part about the UN is true in Canada too.
The point I'm trying to get across to our American friends this morning is that there is no anti-American agenda in Canada in general. Most of us holiday in the States, work in the States as well (when it is appropriate) and in my family, - even marry people from the States.
These good people are getting their knickers in a twist over nothing, and I am trying to assure them that many Canadians may not agree with the WOT, but that in no way implies that they do not like and would not feed, clothe shelter, and pray for any and all Americans!
Shabbat shalom, - Anij.
I am well aware of this law. I worked against and signed a major petition against it . My local MP is well aware of my and others' position regarding C-250. As much as I don't trust the legislation you need to understand it and what it says . Only what it says . Not what others think it says .
How judges will interpret it is another matter, yet to be seen. This law will be tested and a defence fund has been set up.
