On reading about it this actually sounds quite good. That people need to be forced not to be awful by the law is the real shame here.
why? I don't get why people think religions should be exempt from the same laws as everyone else has to follow. Same people agianst this complain about other religions that are against Christianity.Gutting protections for religious beliefs in a criminal code and amending it to a bill designed to supposedly protect people is tyranny. So, I guess if if a person has pro life beliefs that abortion is wrong, the state can criminalize such belief as alleged hatred. As things stand in Canada, there is no restriction on sex selection in abortion. If I would publicly & non violently express an opinion that I think that such a practice is evil, I guess I could face prosecution if this law is passed which some might say is the right thing. Or maybe if I believe assisted suicide is best avoided and could be exploited by the state, such public opinion might be subject to prosecution.
Christianity was originally held by individuals under secular tyranny and St. Paul said to be law abiding ( Romans 13:1-14). This is often not acceptable enough for secular or religious authorities ( within the faith or of others).
I am American not Canadian so I am on obvious outsider on this but I agree with the Canadians who express their concerns on this bill
On the matter of sex selection in abortion.
Canada
In 2013, Conservative MP Mark Warawa introduced a motion condemning discrimination against females through sex-selective abortion but which ultimately never came to a vote.[103] In 2021, Conservative Cathay Wagantall introduced a private member's bill that would prohibit a medical practitioner from performing a sex-selective abortion. Although the bill was defeated 248-82, a majority of Conservative MPs voted in favour of the bill.[104]

People aren’t exempt from laws. Why are their religions views being singled out? What about their political or philosophical views? What if a person who might be an atheist but still support the pro life interpretation of part of the original Hippocratic Oath?
no their religious views are not being singled out, anyone with such beliefs and saying same thing will get in trouble, now our fault preachers are often the ones making the statements. It's YOU that want a two tier system, you can be hateful as long as it's not religious motivated then it should be protected!.People aren’t exempt from laws.

Right, if I don’t agree with you, I go to jail. Such a loving application of the golden rule.
so if a muslim scripture said, "It is an abomination to be a christian, they have committed an abomination; they shall be put to death; their blood is upon them" you wouldn't consider that hate crime? Lets not forget what the bible says here, it's not, "You shouldn't be gay." it's something that goes much further then that.
So I don’t trust the Koran or Islam on as a whole. I also don’t believe in censorship and realize most people who follow this creed aren’t dangerous. There are already provisions in place for safeguarding society if the law is actually properly enforced.
