Believe in Biology? Canada To Sentence ‘Anti-Trans’ Speakers to Prison…
Yes, Canada wants to jail you for what they deem ‘transphobia,’ just because…it’s Canada. We thought fines starting at $250,000 in New York City was ridiculous. But Canada? They saw that as a challenge and are going with a 2-3 year jail sentence. It’s a race to see who can be the most hateful of free-speech. So far Canada is winning, but give NYC a chance.
All these fines and jail sentences? They’re in the name of tolerance. Plus, it’s only free speech if the government tells you it’s free speech…
Citing the need to make transgender people “feel safe and secure in who they are,” Canada’s Minister of Justice Jody Wilson-Raybould introduced legislation Tuesday that would prohibit discrimination on the basis of “gender identity” or “gender expression” and make anti-transgender “hate propaganda” punishable by up to two years in prison.
The proposed legislation — which was unveiled on the International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia, and Biphobia — would amend the Canadian Criminal Code to expand existing “hate speech” prohibitions to include any public speech or communication that “promotes hatred” on the basis of “gender identity” or “gender expression.”
An identical ban on anti-gay “hate propaganda” has been in place for several years and has caused problems for Christians who oppose gay marriage. In 2013, the Canadian Supreme Court upheld the conviction of a Christian street preacher for distributing fliers denouncing homosexual behavior.
Side note, am I the only one creeped out by someone calling themselves the “Minister of Justice?” I guess one can put “minister” in front of anything these days. Still, the image calls to mind a famous, dark-hooded figure carrying a scythe.
