Is M-103 the beginning of the end of free speech in Canada.

Protest marches by people from all backgrounds came together in various major Canadian cities to protest motion M103, the Liberal's first step towards outlawing criticism of Islam.

There are numerous links discussing the issues:

Toronto Sun feels the wording is too ambiguous.

This link Protests across Canada shows some of the action.

Many feel this motion is an introduction of Islamic law --
thou shalt not say anything against Islam or thou wilt be punished.

Of course we do NOT believe in criminal things done against anyone. On a personal level we treat the Muslims in our communities with the same respect as anyone else, but this motion has a different undercurrent --

Is Canada heading to impose Blasphemy law

This is not yet a law -- just a motion.

But listen to this video as to the "stages" --
Three stages

Interestingly there was a talk show on the radio the other day, in which a Muslim phoned in, strongly disagreeing with M-103, feeling it is bringing to Canada what they fled from by coming to Canada.

Actually, prior to sharia law bill M-103, came bill C-16. This transgender rights bill not only normalizes a state resembling Sodom and Gomorrah within Canada, it also makes it a crime to refer to transgender people by anything other than their chosen gender pronoun!

Dr. Jordan Peterson was reprimanded for refusing to use these fake pronouns when addressing his students at the University of Toronto:

"Dr Jordan Peterson, of the University of Toronto, said the controversial Bill C-16 could result in him being charged with a hate crime for refusing to use gender-neutral pronouns such as ‘ze’ and ‘zir’ instead of ‘he’ and ‘she’ at work.

He said: “It’s the first time I’ve seen in our legislative history where people are attempting to make us speak their language.”

Of course, in 2004 bill C-250 was passed. The protections it gives to homosexuals supersede the free speech of Christians.

"Critics of the bill claimed that it would prohibit reciting various scripture condemning homosexuality, while supporters pointed out that the bill added an explicit defence against any charge of incitement of hatred for opinions expressed in good faith based on religious texts. Critics of the law however, have expressed concern the courts will abrogate the religious loophole because "good faith" is not clearly defined."

Given the secular bent of the Canadian legal system, I think we know how this will end.

In 2001, freedom of speech was attacked in Saskatchewan:


"Bible Verses Regarded
As Hate Literature"

"Certain passages of the Bible can be construed as hate literature if placed in a particular context, according to a Canadian provincial court
.

The Court of Queen's Bench in Saskatchewan upheld a 2001 ruling by the province's human rights tribunal that fined a man for submitting a newspaper ad that included citations of four Bible verses that address homosexuality.

A columnist noted in the Edmonton Journal last week that the Dec. 11 ruling generated virtually no news stories and "not a single editorial."

Imagine "the hand-wringing if ever a federal court labeled the Quran hate literature and forced a devout Muslim to pay a fine for printing some of his book's more astringent passages in an ad in a daily newspaper," wrote Lorne Gunter in the Edmonton, Alberta, daily.

Under Saskatchewan's Human Rights Code, Hugh Owens of Regina, Saskatchewan, was found guilty along with the newspaper, the Saskatoon StarPhoenix, of inciting hatred and was forced to pay damages of 1,500 Canadian dollars to each of the three homosexual men who filed the complaint."

For a look at what is happening with free speech in Canadian schools, here is a video of
Dr Jordan Peterson at a rally, warning people about the danger bill C-16 poses to free speech. A large group of students protesting AGAINST free speech tries to drown him out using white noise speakers and loud chants.

There is absolutely no doubt that the time remaining that we are able to freely
spread the Three Angels Message of warning in Canada is rapidly running out.

Canada’s parliament has approved M-103, a non-biding motion that calls on the government to “condemn Islamophobia and all forms of systemic racism and religious discrimination,” by a margin of 201-91.

The contentious motion, which sparked nationwide demonstrations and protests by both supporters and opponents in early March, also calls on the government to take steps to “quell the increasing public climate of hate and fear.”

dictionary definition:

TO QUELL

verb
put an end to (a rebellion or other disorder), typically by the use of force.
as in "extra police were called to quell the disturbance"
subdue or silence someone
suppress (a feeling, especially an unpleasant one).

Sounds pretty ominous

Once government starts "quelling" those who have misgivings about the flood of Islamic "religious culture and laws" into our country, they will have no problem discriminating against people who hold other values.

It's a unique way to circumvent the wall between church and state --


Indeed "the time remaining that we are able to freely
spread the Three Angels Message of warning in Canada is rapidly running out."

I find the Canadian government hateful, inciting hate, and discriminatory. They should pay damages.
