Criminalizing Bible Verses? Canadian Lawmakers Target Religious Expression With Proposed 'Hate Speech' Amendment

In a move that should alarm anyone who is pro-free speech, members of Canada’s Liberal Party have capitulated to pressure from Quebec’s ultra-secular separatist party by voting to strip away a longstanding religious exemption from the country's hate-speech laws as part of the draconian Bill C-9, also known as the so-called Combating Hate Act.
Canada’s Criminal Code has long shielded good-faith religious expression with a clear exemption that speech is not hate propaganda “if, in good faith, the person expressed or attempted to establish by an argument an opinion on a religious subject or an opinion based on a belief in a religious text.”
On Tuesday evening, that protection was casually deleted at the Bloc Québécois insistence.
Canada has the enemy within, the left.
