From the article:

"When a group such as Jehovah's Witnesses said of our doctrine we're worshipping a freakish three-headed God (the Trinity), we should be able to respond," she said. "We say, 'Here's the doctrine of the Trinity and here is where it is in the Scripture.'"

That, however, violates Canada's hate crimes laws, and the ministry was ordered to either make wholesale changes in its presentations, or shut down.

"There was nothing we could do that would please them," she said. "They wanted us every time we criticized something to say, 'So Christianity is equal to Buddhism, Islam, Mormonism, Jehovah's Witnesses… Just decide for yourself.'"

Many years ago, I read about the insanity that was going on in Communist countries. I used to say to myself "That kind of repression can never happen in the West."

How wrong I was.

We’re undoubtedly headed into storm clouds down the road.

If we don’t nip this in the bud and destroy the root organizations that are implementing this, it will destroy more than the religious.

Canada has effectively outlawed public expressions of Christianity. This has always been the goal of leftists.

"How wrong I was."

Seems as though the world has gone upside down, doesn't it?

If Oscar Wilde came back today, he would be E.U. President. This is a world gone mad.

“Canada has very strong hate laws,”

Yes, they have very strong laws to exhibit their hate of Christians.. America is heading down that same path.

Does freedom of speech not exist in Canada and, if not, why?

Their hate crime law just stomps all over out first amendment.

* Of course our first amendment usually only apples to liberals....or so it seems.

Preaching God’s word is being out-lawed. Remember your early teaching. It was coming.

If you listen to right-wing talk radio as much as I do, you will realize that we are already silenced. They NEVER mention the homosexual agenda, even when there are blaring examples in the MSM.
