Despite polls showing that 71% of Canadians would not have voted for the measure, Canada's Parliament, with the strong backing of Justin Trudeau's Liberal government, passed a motion this week 201 to 91 that critics say singles out Islam for special protection. Tabled by Muslim liberal MP Iqra Khalid, M-103 urges the federal government to condemn Islamophobia and to develop a whole-of-government approach to reducing or eliminating systemic racism and religious discrimination including Islamophobia. The term Islamophobia is nowhere defined in the motion.
A petition on CitizenGo asking MPs to stop the restrictive anti-blasphemy motion has been signed by 79,500 people.
This motion will encourage legislation that would criminalize speech deemed islamophobic and lay the groundwork for imposing what is essentially a Sharia anti-blasphemy law on all of Canada, the petition states.
"If that happens, criticism of Islam would constitute a speech crime in Canada, it states, adding that this kind of content-based, viewpoint-discriminatory censorship is unacceptable in a Western liberal democracy.

Oh Canada. What have you done.
Canada is stupid, and Liberals yield ruinous power.
Have a look at El Caminito del Rey.
TRUTH,
BUT.... The Crusades!!! /sarc
“... eliminating systemic racism and religious discrimination “
Show me a day this hasn’t been practiced by moslems across the world. They discriminate against all other people, and religions, as a matter of doctrine.
It’s getting close to time to cede all of the American northeast to Ontario
Not a law, a motion with no legal weight...but a slippery slope motion. You can bet Tredeau’s jack boots he intends to make it law down the road.
Ha . Trudeau didnt even show up to vote on it. What does that tell you?
Heres how they voted and most Canadians I know are outraged ..
http://www.parl.gc.ca/HouseChamberBusiness/ChamberVoteDetail.aspx?Language=E&Mode=1&Parl=42&Ses=1&Vote=237&GroupBy=party&FltrParl=42&FltrSes=1 Would you believe that Trudeau didnt even show up to vote? Unbelievable that Michael Chong voted with the Liberals on this issue. That should be an automatic disqualifier for him from the Conservative leadership race he should be run out of the race on a spike covered rail.
One last thing . The Liberal MP for Scarborough voted no. When I saw him interviewed about this, he said it was because he had to respond accordingly to the overwhelmingly negative phone calls, emails and faxes that he got from his constituents. Never ever ever ever ever ever ever doubt that when crap comes up like this, it isnt worth call your representatives to express your opinion.
So in other words, the path to Sharia has started in earnest to our North.
Wow.
It’s clear that the Canadian government is condemning the citizens of Canada to a fate that is, as a result of this law, more certain to come.
Buy them bus tickets and bring them into Canada by the plane loads.
Sometimes LESSONS have to be learned the HARD WAY.
“O Canada” will morph from an anthem to a dirge.
Wow, a dizzy spell and it could be goodbye.
Don Cherry for PM.
It has already begun. They already changed the lyrics up to make it more “gender neutral”
“There actually was free speech in the Soviet Union, as well.”
Exactly! One could stand before the gates of the Kremlin and freely denounce any aspect of the government, culture or foreign policy of...the United States!;)
