[Title Redacted]

One of the many bites of the censorship apple has take a new turn.

Even strongly held beliefs (read: Christian ones because there is no way that the chair-moisteners in the House of Commons will oppose more diverse tirades and die on that particular hill) will be struck down as anything deemed offensive by a mass of morally and politically Chicken Littles who are biding their time before their pensions kick.

Anything anyone says, does, or is will be construed as offensive.

What is actually offensive to the government is reason, faith, and the ability to point how utterly useless the bloated government is.

Well, we won't be hearing any complaints like that any more:

Conservatives say a deal between Liberals and the Bloc Québécois to remove a religious exemption from hate-speech laws in exchange for passing a bill targeting hate and terror symbols is an “assault” on freedom of speech and religion.

But the Bloc Québécois said the change was necessary to help prosecute rising hateful and antisemitic rhetoric, often made under the guise of exempted religious speech.

(Sidebar: bull. Sh--. If Quebec really felt that way, it wouldn't allow in certain persons to replace the babies they won't have.) 

Both parties were reacting to a National Post report Monday that the governing Liberals and opposition Bloc had agreed to add an amendment to Bill C-9 removing what is frequently referred to as the “religious exemption” in exchange for the Bloc’s support for the legislation.

 

(Sidebar: or - hear me out - we could let certain diverse masses open their mouths, repeat what is in their books, and judge them accordingly. But debate just isn't allowed in Canada. It's too American.) 

 

Comment of the day:

(Sidebar: from here.) 

 

Also:

An innocuous Senate bill to celebrate the history of immigration is actually intended to counter “xenophobic rhetoric,” say Liberal-appointed senators. Even the proposed timing of the bill was designed for lobbying purposes, the Senate social affairs committee was told: “Clearly the government is not doing it.”
