CANADIAN "HATE SPEECH" LAWS

[Jack Johnson]

I was reading an article tonight, about Canadian hate speech laws. I
didn't realize Canada was so politically correct. The PC movement has
been trying to make inroads here, but it looks like Canada has already
been taken over by the "speech police".


It seems a Canadian citizen can't openly speak out, or express an
opinion, against homosexuals, in public, without facing a fine, or being
forced to make some kind of apology. That's outrageous.


I agree, people shouldn't have to tolerate being attacked. But, a
religious person should be able to express themselves, if they don't
believe homosexuality is a natural lifestyle. After all, the Bible,
the Koran, and the Jewish Torah ALL condemn homosexuality. If a gay
person has a right to live life, say and do what they want. Then a
straight person, especially, a religious person, should have the right
to speak their mind too.


The case I was reading about was the former Mayor of London,
Ontario.......Diane Haskett. Back in 1997 she was fined $10,000 by the
Ontario Human Rights Commission, because she refused to proclaim a "Gay
Pride Day", in London. That is OUTRAGEOUS. The Human Rights
Commission also ordered her to make a public statement PRAISING the
"Valuable Contributions" of gay and lesbians, in London.
She refused. GOOD for her.


My question is, what if gays and lesbians DIDN'T make any "valuable
contributions", in London ?? Just because someone is gay doesn't mean
they automatically make any contribution to society. That's reverse
discrimination right there.


I read another report that gave examples of Canadian Pastors and
Ministers, who were threatened by these hate speech laws, because they
preached against homosexuality, in their own churches. That is
DANGEROUS. I can't believe this kind of anti-free speech is taking root
in Canada.

i guess it's because Toronto has had one for many years and London is a
big City in Southern Ontario so it's only right if it's allowed in one
town should be allowed in others....i don't really care i don't go to
them but you know how things are right now in States with gay rights
they want equal rights i guess i can understand them fighting for
them...i have more things to worry about then what their up too

i guess they wanna be involved in church some believe in God some
peachers had to keep up with the times and welcome them but remember God
doesn't dislike them he dislikes their lifestyle so how can a church
turn their back on them

But as for these churches not talking about homoseyuality being wrong i
don't agree with that because they should be preaching all of the bible
not only certain parts but churches can all choose their agenda ....
personally i mind my business about God which i know i should be telling
people about him but anyone i know would just l;ook at ya as you had 2
heads and i think you may have come across this so i just worry about
myself trying to be better which is a big job LOL

Hey, I believe in live and let live. But, for a society to start
dictating non-Christian philosophies, is a sign of the times we live in.
I think it's WRONG.


Evangelism is more accepted, I think, in the states than in Canada.
Canada is more liberal, than America. And, I think the Canadian
government wants to move further, and further away from traditional
views. I think that is also a sign of the times we live in.


Obama, and the Democrats, are more in line with Canada, than the
Republicans are.
