Canada is fast becoming a beacon of militant totalitarian atheism. I fear the future...

[South40]

It's Canada; do you expect any different?

[speedy]

Does this mean if someone says hateful things against Christians or Conservatives, they can be sent to jail? Doesn't this cut both ways? And what precisely is the definition of "hateful" anyway?

Homosexual Agenda Ping - It's official. Saying anything negatives about homosexuality will now be a crime up north.

Let me know if anyone wants on/off this pinglist.

This is frightening. How long will it take for religious and speech rights in our Constitution to be vitiated?

[Spok]

"worry the new law will serve to ban the Bible, the Koran and other holy texts as hate literature'

The only danger is to the Bible. Once terrorists kill a couple more thousand innocents, I'm sure the Koran will become required reading in Canadian public schools.

Oh Canada...

It looks like a few provinces in Canada need to succede. Who's going to stop them? Are the liberal, Maoist females from Toronto going to hop on their brooms and bomb Alberta? Time for the men to show these NOW nags and their girly-boys the kitchen, the pot and the scrub brush.

[DemWatch]

YES! Let's hear it for Canada --- the land where having the "wrong" opinion is a crime...really, who cares about free speech? [/sarcasm] Note to self...NEVER GO TO CANADA.

My sister will be in Québec all next week ... I'm waiting to hear the stories about this trip when she comes back...

Some places, Canada springs to mind, probably do need the helping hand of an Islamofascist dictatorship every now and then to set them straight.

The Christians and Jews might take this sort of oppression from Ottawa, but your typical Moslem settler in Toronto is more likely to fight back. That will give them an edge in the culture wars.

Hope Canadians like veils.

Well, time to suit up for another round of persecution. I wonder if I'd be hauled in for "hate" crimes if I started quoting the Bible in Canada. I'm half tempted to take a trip up there and do it just to see the looks on their faces when I told them aaaaalllll about myself.

In any case, are we really surprised? The world's going to heck in a hand-basket and if things keep going, it'll be a civil war all over again. The only good news is that we're going to win because we have all the guns.

The irony in all this is Christian viewpoints expressed in the media (music, print, television) are more prevalent in Canada than in the United States. My personal experience has shown the level of miltant atheism in Canada is not even close to the level found in the United States (at least in Canada's "flyover country").

What will happen in the future remains to be seen. At the moment however, you will find it is easier to expouse a Christian point of view (and receive less derision for doing so) in Canada than here in the U.S., government actions notwithstanding.
