"Trudeau Bans Christian Students From Canada Summer Jobs
In a recent town hall meeting, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced his reasoning for not permitting Christians to apply for Canada Summer Jobs. Trudeau said that those who seek to restrict abortion are "not in line with society".
The Canada Summer Jobs program provides over $200 million per year to fund some 70,000 students with seasonal employment. Just before Christmas, Trudeau changed the requirements for funding which now demands that applicants and employers sign a document to attest that they support women’s reproductive rights, and the rights of gender-diverse and transgender Canadians." No bible believing Christian can sign such a document therefore the result is clear, Christians need not apply.
It appears that our Prime Minister does not recognize that each and every Canadian must be treated equally before the law and receive equal benefit including opportunity for students to be employed under the CSJ program. Section 15 of Canada's Charter of Rights and Freedom, says "1) Every individual is equal before and under the law and has the right to the equal protection and equal benefit of the law". Some may argue that his discrimination is not overt in that he does not explicitly name Christians; however, his descriptions are crystal clear. Christian individuals and organizations are at the forefront of fighting for person status of unborn children and protection of Children from radical sex education teaching.
One would hope that Trudeau's discrimination is temporary; however, back when Justin Trudeau was first elected as Prime Minister, over two years ago, he told local Toronto pastors that "Evangelical Christians are the worst part of Canadian society."
Hundreds of Christian organizations and thousands of Christian students have now lost funding for this year's summer jobs. Church leaders have begun to push back. If the government is allowed to blatantly deny Christian students employment, it won't be long until other Christians feel the threat of losing their jobs simply for practicing what the Bible teaches. In fact, it has been reported that this prohibition has already expanded to other programs such as the Canada Service Corps including the YMCA.
We must not allow Trudeau to deny students jobs for not swearing to support abortion and multiple genders. We can stop this if we petition God, take action by contacting our Members of Parliament, call the Prime Minister at 613-941-6900 and sign the petition at
I'm not sure just how wanting employer participants in a jobs program to indicating that they don't discriminate has any connection to the OPI guess this is a logical next step after what they did last December......
Yet they (the government) can do all of the above?In Canada it is simple --- the government will not legitimize much less fund discrimination, hate or the removal of rights. I am very comfortable with that.
Why is ones view on abortion even a matter of summer jobs programs?I'm not sure just how wanting employer participants in a jobs program to indicating that they don't discriminate has any connection to the OP

it doesn't but the 2018 CANADA SUMMER JOBS APPLICATION / AGREEMENT doesn't say anything about ones view of abortion it says:Why is ones view on abortion even a matter of summer jobs programs?
a couple minutes of research found that this section was included when it was discovered that one recipient of funding put kids to work distributing anti-abortion pamphlets which included fake pictures of aborted fetuses. There was another company,i think it was the Center for bio-ethic reform, insisted that any female summer job employee not take prescribed birth control medication.Truly what does seeking to restrict abortion have to do with summer jobs? How would these students restrict abortion? Voting?

Well in Canada they don't have a Bill of Rights like we do. In the US, Congress can make no law prohibiting the free exercise of religion or abridging the freedom of speech.Its one steep closer to America.
Just tell those law students we would love to have them here in the US.

What about sexually diverse people?
If this world was to ever find out just a small amount of what sexually diverse (gay) people are here to do on this planet, there would never be one single wisecrack or hurtful remark made ever again. Instead there would be great respect! People who speak disrespectful things about people of this orientation ... enact judgment, and do so from a place of unenlightenment, insecurity, ego and socially induced prejudice. Some may use mistranslated scriptures taught to them, not by the Holy Spirit ... but by fear-filled human beings. Many will choose to sustain a Divinely unsupported satanic hate-based rage against these children of God, rather than using Love to bring understanding and healing between both peoples. Christ said, THE GREATEST COMMANDMENT IS THAT WE ARE TO LOVE ONE ANOTHER! When people sling condemnation, judgment and bitterness at others, they are not practicing the great commandment. They are allowing their Souls to fall into darkness.

It's NOTHING to do with summer jobs and these students aren't restricting anything. It's about not wanting to financially benefit anyone who doesn't share their world views.Truly what does seeking to restrict abortion have to do with summer jobs? How would these students restrict abortion? Voting?
Reproductive rights are code words for abortion. The media KNOW this. The Government knows this and have done nothing whatsoever to clarify the issue if it meant something different.it doesn't but the 2018 CANADA SUMMER JOBS APPLICATION / AGREEMENT doesn't say anything about ones view of abortion it says:
"These include reproductive rights and the right to be free from discrimination on the basis of sex, religion, race, national or ethnic origin, colour, mental or physical disability or sexual orientation, or gender identity or expression."
Thanks! Like the French I see.The Canadian Bill of Rights (1960) has been superseded by the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms (1982).
CANADIAN CHARTER OF RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS
How very Marxist.It's about not wanting to financially benefit anyone who doesn't share their world views.
They arn'tThanks for the research!
This still does not answer the question why Chistians are banned from summer jobs.
Christians are not banned. Not as a group or otherwise.Thanks for the research!
This still does not answer the question why Chistians are banned from summer jobs. Doesn't Canada apply due process for those who violate the law without punishing an entire religious group?
Not even Saudi Arabia rounds up every Christian when a few violate their anti proselytizing laws.
