On Wednesday, LifeSite News reported:
The majority of Canadian MPs have voted to pass a Liberal bill that will allow the criminalization of religious expression and belief when quoting parts of the Bible, including about homosexuality and gender.
As we’ve come to expect from leftists all over the globe, the traditional values that have been part of the fabric of civilization for centuries now constitute “hate” that governments must stamp out. The Conservatives tried to amend the bill, but that effort failed.
Early Wednesday evening, MPs from the Liberal Party and the Bloc Québécois, in a 186–137 vote, passed Bill C-9, known as the “Combatting Hate Act.” Conservatives, NDP, and Green Party MPs voted against the bill in a rare form of unity among the usually opposing parties.
“With the passage of Bill C-9 in the House, Christians and pro-life advocates will almost certainly face an entirely new level of hostility, as the door swings open to actual persecution under a cloak of supposed legality,” said pastor and Campaign Life Coalition’s (CLC) Campaigns Manager David Cooke.
What happened to religious freedom up north? Well, my Canadian friend is wondering about that. He is also concerned about anti-Semitism getting stronger up there. It's not the Canada I remember, he said.
