"Five years in prison for quoting Scripture"

If this doesn't prompt you to lobby your MP to have "Canada's Almost New Government" do away with these kangaroo courts, nothing will.

On October 27, the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal issued a precedent-setting cease and desist order which forbids Jessica Beaumont from posting certain Bible verses on the Internet. If this 21-year old woman posts the wrong Bible quotation online - even if it is on an American website - she could face up to 5 years in prison.

The gainfully offended Richard Warman makes an appearance, as might be expected.

Makes me think of a Simpson's episode I saw years ago where the family goes to Canada. A young man is seen spray-painting graffiti that states, "OBEY THE RULES."
