Canada Moves To Make Quoting Certain Bible Passages ‘Hate Speech’

The minority Liberal government has struck a deal with Bloc Québécois to “eliminate long-standing Criminal Code safeguards for freedom of expression and religious freedom in exchange for the Bloc supporting Bill C-9,” according to the National Post.

    Currently, the law exempts hateful or antisemitic speech if it based in good faith on the interpretation of a religious text, but that immunity is set to be removed. Additionally, the Liberals are expected to back off plans to eliminate the need for a provincial attorney general’s sign-off to pursue a hate-propaganda prosecution.

The removal of the religious exception clause is being driven by the Bloc Québécois, who have long sought to entrench cultural secularization. Months ago, the province of Quebec signaled their intention to introduce legislation to ban prayer in public. The Post continues:

    Canada’s hate speech laws currently say people cannot be prosecuted for expressing, “in good faith,” an argument or opinion on a religious subject or “based on belief in a religious text.”

    If this amendment is adopted and Bill C-9 is passed, people of faith could be imprisoned for up to two years for expressing deeply held religious convictions that the government finds offensive.

  ...

It appears to be anti-all religion, not just Christianity or Judaism.

Liberal-Bloc amendments to C-9 will criminalize sections of the Bible, Quran, Torah, and other sacred texts. Conservatives will oppose this latest Liberal assault on freedom of expression and religion.  ...

Bill C-9 Turns Ideological Criticism into a Crime. In other words, Canada and Great Britain are neck-and-neck in clamping down on free speech.

It appears to be anti-all religion, not just Christianity or Judaism.

But it will not be enforced for the Koran.

UPDATE

Canadian House of Commons passes 'hate speech' bill that would remove religious protections

A bill that critics warn would eliminate key religious protections from criminal bans on acts of “hatred” has passed the Canadian House of Commons, prompting concerns from religious freedom advocates.

Canada’s House of Commons passed the measure, called the “Combatting Hate Act,” Wednesday. The House of Commons approved the legislation in a 186-137 vote that fell along party lines. All opposition to the bill came from the Conservative, New Democratic and Green parties, while all support for the legislation came from the Liberal and Bloc Québécois parties.

The “Combatting Hate Act,” also known as Bill C-09, declares that “Everyone who commits an offence — referred to in this section as the ‘included offence’ — under this Act or any other Act of Parliament, if the commission of the included offence is motivated by hatred based on race, national or ethnic origin, language, colour, religion, sex, age, mental or physical disability, sexual orientation or gender identity or expression” is either “guilty of an indictable offence” or “guilty of an offence punishable on summary conviction.”  ...

Are we just about the only country left that allows the freedom to recite Bible passages? 

I can almost guarantee you that if the DEMS get in, they will limit if not omit religious freedom!!

God help us!!

Had Harris won the 2024 election any act of patriotism or Christianity would be a crime now. That is where we were heading before Biden left office.
