Hells nah
Hells nah
I'm just here so I don't get fined
Bill C-16 does not impinge on freedom of speech in any way in Canada. Things are no different than they were before in that regard. Literally the only change that Bill C-16 has made is the addition of “gender identity or expression” to the list of protected categories. That’s it. That’s literally all. What this means is, transgenders officially now have become a group of people who have the right to receive equal treatment and equal protection under the law. It is a nod from the government of Canada that transgenders deserve respect, and that their diversity has value. Recognizing, valuing, and protecting diversity is a core part of the Constitution of Canada, and I think it's a good thing. I see freedom of hateful expression in the US as something repugnant, and I'm proud to live in a country where you can be a hateful and racist as you like in the privacy of your own home, and as an anonymous asshole on the Internet, but if you try that shit in public, if you spew hatred towards someone based on race, religion, etcetera, the law is definitely not on your side. And Bill C-16 simply spells out that transgenders are a protected group. That's fucking it.
Not sure exactly what the laws are in the US, but in Canada you can't say any old thing if it's hateful. You are not protected by the Constitution if you start calling a Black person the N word, or a woman the C word. You are not protected if you started verbally harassing or discriminating against people based on race, religion, and now transgender. This is all Bill C-16 is - adding transgenders to the list of protected groups. Bill C-16 simply adds transgenders to the list of categories of people protected from discrimination. You can't discriminate against someone in Canada based on, for example, race religion, sex, and disability. Now transgender has been added to the list. That is literally all. I know I'm being repetitive, but some of you people on here need a couple of extra knocks on the head.
There will not be one case in Canada - guaranteed - of anyone bothering to hire a lawyer and go to the courts to challenge the use of pronouns.

You may have heard of Professor Bruce Pardy when he debated Peterson on C-16 a few months ago. He admitted he was just playing devil's advocate, he doesn't actually support C-16 but felt there was a need for debate. Well he was also at the senate hearing and in the above clip he made a great argument against this bullshit.

Bill C-16 passed the Canadian senate or parliament or tribal moot or whatever the fuck it is their government has the makes laws. This bill will adds gender identity to list of protected classes and makes it illegal to discriminate against gender identity, or to spread "hate propaganda" that is based on gender identity. Critics also say that the language makes it illegal to use the wrong pronouns.
Here is a video of the hearing, staring Jordan Peterson as the voice of reason.
So sherdog, let's all pick our pronouns that our Canadian bretherns will have to refer to us by under penalty of law. Here are a few examples:
For now on I'd like all Canadian posters to use the hse pronoun when referring to me. Thank you for your tolerance.
As fucked with this PC SJW crap the US is, looking at the rest of the so called West, it seems we are the last hold out to full blown suicide.
It cannot be allowed to happen here. Eastern Europe seems to be resisting this madness, as well.
Now where are all those fuckers saying Canada is free-er than the USA???
Hey, I have an alternative suggestion for people offended by gender pronouns: Stop being a fucking perverted delusional weirdo thinking your psychosis is reality and be a normal person or hide your shit very well.
Fucking Shoggoths all of them.
You know why? We are the most Christian western country....no surprise.
The difference is the court system here will kill it on the first case that reaches the national circuit level.I'm not sure that Canada is more free than the US, but this law is not the best metric, because similar laws have been in place in NY city for a few years now and it applies to landlords and employers.
Canada was never about desperately trying to cram the entire world into one country. "Diversity" is weakness and fragments established majority populations. I live in Bramladesh and I can't see the value in becoming a minority in my country. I do not want my fellow Canadians and people from other countries to be consumed by the progressive swarm. People going to the law because someone said something bad is one the saddest sights to see. How pathetic. I picture progressive drones crawling around on all fours.
It's easy to shit on anyone that's not a person of color. You wallow in the creep.
Will they send you to jail or is it just fines? yes, either way it sucks and fuck these delusional assholes for forcing their insanity on us. I wonder how much beatings they took were due to them being freaks vs just dumb douche bags.I'm not sure that Canada is more free than the US, but this law is not the best metric, because similar laws have been in place in NY city for a few years now and it applies to landlords and employers.

I think that is a factor, but it's also because in the US, freedom of speech is part of your constitution. The US is the only country that I am aware of, that has this protection.
In the US universities and elsewhere the same trans, LGBT, Marxist agenda is being pushed, and you can bet the farm that without the freedom of speech protection you'd already have the same thought crime laws being pushed in.
It is truly an international agenda, and the US is very much a part of it.
