Canadians Could Face Hate Crimes Over Using The Wrong Gender Pronouns

Canada passed a law Thursday making it illegal to use the wrong gender pronouns. Critics say that Canadians who do not subscribe to progressive gender theory could be accused of hate crimes, jailed, fined, and made to take anti-bias training.

Canada’s Senate passed Bill C-16, which puts “gender identity” and “gender expression” into both the country’s Human Rights Code, as well as the hate crime category of its Criminal Code by a vote of 67-11, according to LifeSiteNews. The bill now only needs royal assent from the House of Commons to pass into law.

“Great news,” announced Justin Trudeau, Canada’s prime minister. “Bill C-16 has passed the Senate – making it illegal to discriminate based on gender identity or expression. #LoveisLove.”

Other than to enjoy its literature, I'm about to give up on the English language.

Well, we may have to keep "white male asshats".

Immigrants could give flying f-ck about First Nations.

The future isn't looking good and it's everybody not just "f-ckin' whitie".

Injuns don't stand out in Canadian society any longer.

So far as I can see there is nothing in the bill that could put someone in jail for the incorrect use of a pronoun. It's just more fake news from a right wing anti-woman site.

As stated in the OP
:)

The penalties are already in the criminal code, bill c-16 just adds to the things one can be penalized for

"WHAT IS BILL C-16?
Bill C-16 is a federal, government-sponsored bill titled “An Act to amend the Canadian Human Rights Act and the Criminal Code”. The amendments add gender identity and gender expression to the list of prohibited grounds of discrimination in the Canadian Human Rights Act.

Bill C-16 also amends the Criminal Code to extend the protection against “hate propaganda” to any segment of the public that is distinguished by gender identity or expression. The bill would also make bias, prejudice, or hate “based on gender identity or expression” an aggravating circumstance when it is a motivating factor in a crime.

WHY DOES THE GOVERNMENT SAY THIS BILL IS NEEDED?
According to the speech by Justice Minister, Hon. Jody Wilson-Raybould, at the time she introduced C-16:

“The bill addresses a fundamental issue of equality and human rights, the discrimination and hate crimes experienced by trans and gender diverse Canadians… their life journeys are often more challenging, as they have to overcome misunderstandings, prejudice, and hostility because of their gender identity or expression. With the bill, we unequivocally say that Canada can do better… Bill C-16 reflects our commitment to this diversity and provides for equality and freedom from discrimination and violence for all Canadians, regardless of their gender identity. With the bill, we say loudly and clearly that it is time to move beyond mere tolerance of trans people. It is time for their full acceptance and inclusion in Canadian society.”

WHAT STAGE IS THE BILL AT AND HOW DID IT GET THERE?
As of February 16th, 2017, Bill C-16 is at second reading in the Senate. This means the Senate is debating the Bill before voting on whether to send it to committee to study it further. If the bill passes second and third reading in the Senate, it will become law.

In late 2016, the bill sailed through the House of Commons with little discussion. The committee that was supposed to study it (the Standing Committee on Justice and Human Rights) rubber stamped it, not bothering to call witnesses to speak to it.

WHAT IS UNLAWFUL DISCRIMINATION ACCORDING TO THE CANADIAN HUMAN RIGHTS ACT?
It is discriminatory to terminate or to directly or indirectly refuse to employ an individual on the basis of a prohibited ground of discrimination. Similarly, it is discriminatory to deny access to goods, services, facilities, accommodation or tenancy generally available to the public on the basis of a prohibited ground of discrimination.

The Canadian Human Rights Act currently precludes discriminatory practices based on race, national or ethnic origin, colour, religion, age, sex, sexual orientation, marital status, family status, disability or conviction for an offence for which a pardon has been granted or a record suspension has been ordered.

Provincial human rights legislation applies to most services, employment, and housing providers, but the Canadian Human Rights Act applies to federally regulated entities like the military, shipping, aviation, and telecommunications.

WHAT IS “HATE PROPAGANDA” ACCORDING TO THE CRIMINAL CODE?
“Hate propaganda” in the Code includes three offences: advocating genocide (s. 318), public incitement of hatred (s. 319(1)), and willfully promoting hatred by public statements (s. 319(2))."

Do we need this law? We already have these protections at the provincial level, so really this is more vote buying in the long run, and doesn't really change much other then effecting federal operations...

Lol, the military should love this.

"In 2002 the Northwest Territories were the first government in the Canada to explicitly prohibit discrimination against trans people by including gender identity in their Human Rights Code. In 2012, Manitoba added gender identity to their human rights legislation. In that same year, Ontario and Nova Scotia added both gender identity and gender expression to their human rights laws. Prince Edward Island as well as Newfoundland and Labrador followed suit in 2013. In 2014 Saskatchewan made provisions for gender identity, and in 2015 Alberta joined the club, adding both gender identity and expression to their Human Rights Code.

The other five provinces and territories—British Columbia, Québec, New Brunswick, Nunavut Territory, and the Yukon—have implicit protection, having interpreted their Human Rights Codes as including gender variance under existing prohibited grounds.

Bill –C-16 is just the federal government catching up on long overdue human rights protections for individuals within its fairly limited jurisdiction."

side note:

This Bill builds on previous legislation that the Government introduced on March 8, 2017 (Bill C-39) as part of an ongoing initiative to review the criminal justice system and to update and modernize the Criminal Code.

Witches of the fair land of Canada rejoice! Last week, the Canadian government decided to update its Criminal Code: The pending changes repeal outdated laws that criminalize witchcraft and dueling. The new Criminal Code will also provide more protections for sexual assault victims in court.

Currently, Section 365 of the Code states that it is illegal to "pretend to exercise or to use any kind of witchcraft, sorcery, enchantment or conjuration," "tell fortunes," or pretend to know "from his skill" where or how something lost or stolen can be found. According to the National Post, the law is a "distant descendant of Medieval English laws that sentenced accused witches to burn at the stake."

Oh boy, Is that Canada's new antitrump weapon, or is Trudie just hoping for help in the next election himself?

How 'bitch' and 'bastard' as being the public name for everybody on a good day. On a bad day you would just add 'fuking' before the 'name term thingy'.

Witch Warlock would that be, perhaps we just need the 'not evil' one. One that can see Murphy's Law as it mover through society would be a handy guy to have around as that thing devours all it can and it doesn't need much of an opening to start that process. We know it in it's unseen form know as 'shit happens'. There is no cure and there is no escape, take it from there.

Whimpering snowflakes. Don't like it? Don't use pronouns.
Why not, some are more effective than a condom or a weapon.

My neighbour seemed to stumble on pronouns so I contacted the RCMP. He is getting beaten in jail right now.

Take your pills.

Good. It'll make Kreskin's neighbor a better Canadian, and the Mounties can always use the practice.

Are the Mounties beating Kreskin's neighbor with hockey sticks or curling rocks?

Kreskin may note that Tecumsehsbones did not use the standard Canadian spelling of "neighbor." Ha-ha! Too bad! Suck it, syrup-sucking hockey-heads! The law doesn't apply to NOUNS!

*No pronouns were harmed in the making of this post. No pronouns were used at all in this post.

So, he is getting well pronounced in jail?
I hope some one checked to see if "he" is an appropriate pronoun.
;)
Well, here is to hoping this doesn't backfire because you actually turned in Ru Paul visiting his sistrother or his mad or his dum, or something.
