We could just make a new term and call them all a pat

All it needs now is “royal consent” from the House of Commons, and Canada will become the proud owner of a brand-new form of tyranny: punishing normal folks for using the wrong “gender pronouns” for people who don’t know what they are.
Daily Caller writes:
Canada passed a law Thursday making it illegal to use the wrong gender pronouns. Critics say that Canadians who do not subscribe to progressive gender theory could be accused of hate crimes, jailed, fined, and made to take anti-bias training.Canada’s Senate passed Bill C-16, which puts “gender identity” and “gender expression” into both the country’s Human Rights Code, as well as the hate crime category of its Criminal Code by a vote of 67-11, according to LifeSiteNews. The bill now only needs royal assent from the governor general.

Great news: Bill C-16 has passed the Senate – making it illegal to discriminate based on gender identity or expression. #LoveisLove

Fines, jail time, compulsory “sensitivity training”–these can now be yours! All you have to do is call a man “him” when he’d rather be called “her.” The new “crimes” have been tacked onto the Human Rights Code, by a vote of 67-11 in the Senate.
“Great news!” exults Canada’s neo-Stalinist prime minister, Justin Trudeau. He also has a thingy on his Twitter, “#LoveisLove,” whatever the devil that means.
Overheard in prison cell: “So what are you guys in for?” “Armed robbery.” “I stole a couple cars.” “Aggravated assault.” And then, “Well, me, I got 18 months for using the wrong gender pronoun.” Shocked silence descends upon the convicted criminals.
And the people of Canada just take it, as usual. Right on the chin. There’s no outrage the Left can impose on normal people that inspires opposition.
That’s the biggest mystery of all.
Better to be called a BIGOT than Inmate #27385...LOL
The Canadian Human Rights Commission (Commission) is akin to an Agent of Parliament. It operates independently from government. As Canada’s human rights watchdog, the Commission is responsible for representing the public interest and holding the Government of Canada to account on matters related to human rights.
FYI: It is not just the Canadian Government in their purview, it is any non-LEFT, non-Progressive as well (Mark Steyn etc.) This comes close to Star Chamber treatment and shows the amazing foresight of our Founders in our Bill of Rights. What they could not see is how, 250 years later, the entitled STATIST would use the Judiciary to weaken so much of this bulwark!
I've always felt that I was a lesbian trapped in a man's body.
It’s not about “what plumbing do you have”, it’s that “gender” has been unilaterally redefined to “how comfortable are you with your own plumbing, and what plumbing would you prefer to join?” ...which is bizarre in part because the same sociopolitical group, not long ago, demanded “stay out of our bedrooms!” now wants to punish us for not acknowledging the details thereabouts in every pronoun we use.
They want us to “stay out of their bedrooms” and I want them to stay out of our bathrooms, dressing rooms, and showers...
I look for similar legislation to be introduced in Sacramento shortly.
Can't remember the backstory on why he was being investigated. Must have been at least a dozen years ago.
In a flash, we went from normal people tolerating abnormal people to abnormal people jailing normal people.
What would Benton Fraser make of all this?
Sorry. Bruce Jenner is still a man. And I can call him anything I want.
I think they will just use zim to mean him and zir to mean her, and then we'll be back where we were when we started.
Yes...aren't threads regularly deleted from FR for not having any link to the content? This one surely qualifies.
And they just legalized bestiality without penetration.
Disgusting.
ROFL. So true. The Onion must be really scraping to come up with anything that sounds bizarre, because real life is more bizarre than what they used to write.
Don’t they have a constitution or people with common sense? I really am in The Twilight Zone.
We could just make a new term and call them all a pat
Just a thought, has anyone checked to see if there’s a toxic mold in the Molson’s?
Maybe, “Hey Assh#le!”, should be the word that covers all 60 genders?
