Canada criminalizes non-progressive thought
American Thinker ^ | June 17, 2017 | Daren Jonescu

Do you think imposing so-called transgenderism on children as a sexual norm might be harmful to their moral development? Do you question the legitimacy of using made up so-called gender-neutral pronouns as replacements for the standard English words "he" and "she"?

If you answered yes, or even maybe, to either of those questions, then, as of today, you are in violation of Canada's Human Rights Code, and subject to fines, re-education, or – should you refuse comply and repent – prison time.

Canada's Senate has passed a "controversial" (read: fascistic) new law, Bill C-16, which adds "gender identity" and "gender expression" to the nation's hate crime laws – Canada being a world leader in legislating who should be hated and who shouldn't – thus effectively making it a crime for a business owner to "discriminate" on the basis of not wanting his male employee to wear a dress, or for a teacher not to use a nonexistent, politically correct pronoun whenever a student tells her to. More generally, it makes a hate criminal of anyone who openly expresses a view not perfectly compliant with the zeitgeist on gender identity, transgenderism, or what have you. The debate is now, officially and legally, over.

SNIP

In other words, a postmodern, nihilistic, neo-Marxist pseudo-theory of sexual identity and systemic oppression, dreamt up by some pretentious careerist professor of "queer studies" climbing out of the academic slime somewhere five years ago, has officially been declared the unassailable Absolute Truth by Justin Trudeau's government. Unassailable as in "alternative views will not be given a hearing." Unassailable as in "heretics will be burned."

Will Canada’s government sillify itself out of credibility?

Although we have dodged the bullet at least for 4 years we have to worry about our progressive mental neighbors who will harbor jihadist enemies with laws like this

What countries are free? We delude ourselves into talking about the “free world.” Where? Antarctica? The Moon? Certainly not the USA, where free speech doesn’t exist, in spite of the solid, written guarantee in the Constitution.

I recall when a number of French Canadians were both seasonal apple pickers in upstate NY, and others had to be run out of summer camps on Lake Champlain as they broke into lake front property and lived there once the owner left for his main home for fall, winter, and part of spring. Now the Canadians are as far left or more so then western Europe. This teaching little boys and girls to be queers or lesbians is a serious issue as I do not believe God makes mistakes about sex. Just like smoking was a behavior many of us learned from parents, TV, movies, friends, etc. These are very unhealthy, perverted sex acts, and more importantly, they are abominations. Teaching this sick crap will bring wrath to Canada.

People with a mental disorder can now put you in jail for not bowing down to them.

Muslims will be exempt, of course.

The prospect of a huge asteroid hitting the earth and wiping out all life used to give me pause, it is a frightening thought indeed. It used to bother me, now that prospect may be may be a blessing. God’s way of resetting/rebooting.

If they can make you mouth respect and salute such blatently obvious lies they OWN YOUR MIND. You are their puppet and you re-up everytime you open your mouth. This is not a new phenomenon. They have been doing this for 40 yrs now and the majority of people have been dutifully bowing their heads and spouting the bullshit. The point isn’t human rights or feminism or in this case transgenderisim, rather, it is OWNING YOUR STUPID UNTHINKING ASS. After 40 years of success in this line there will be blood spilled to throw Political Correctness off.

For those of you who want to vote with your wallets by boycotting Canadian products can start with cars. If the VIN starts with 2, it was built in Canada. More here.

Reminds me of the story ‘Coventry’, in ‘Revolt in 2100’ by Heinlein.

Sometimes I wonder....

Dear Canada,

I have had a distaste for queers, for over 50 years.

I have had a strong dislike for mohammedans, since 1971.

I have had a strong hatred for anything Socialist, or Communist, since the age of 11.

I do not believe, since propogation of the species, is by a higher design, natural law, any efforts to stem human population, at any age, by other than outright war, (a curse of the human condition), equates to murder.

Here, in America, I do NOT have to ‘request permission of a bureaucrat to pursue the purchase of a firearm. I do NOT have to attend ‘classes’ that ‘qualify’ you, from another bureaucrat, once I purchased said firearm. I do NOT have to ‘request permission’ from another bureaucrat, to transport, and/or carry said firearm. I have the 2nd Amendment right there, in the U.S. Constitution.

Therefore, I cannot consider using my consumer funds on anything Canadian.

One of the signs of totalitarianism is the “collective” demands and enforces (root word force) that ALL proclaim as true what they know is false.

It’s the beginning of the end of free thought, as such thought becomes a crime. There is only ONE government approved definition for “diversity”. “equality”. “fairness” and “justice”. To wander from the state approved definitions (which involves thinking)... is to invite prosecution (aka: persecution). Stalin would approve!

Thought is the enemy of the Left!
