I don't have a scanner hooked up here at work so I have to type this out.
Please read all of it, and support this Please! This is so of the devil to try to put this into action. I know not all of you are Canadian, but the more people who voice their opinion the better it will be for all of us.
Bill C415, now before the Justice Committee, proposes changes to the Criminal Code hate crime legislation that are intended to CRIMINALIZE all people with dissenting opinions on homesexuality agenda. Are you a criminal because you do not approve of homosexual behavior?
This bill is NOT about hate crimes. The intent of this bill is to silence dissenting opinions about homosexual behavior(sexual orientation). It is about using a criminal code gun to threaten and intimaidate all Canadians - the religious and non religious that disagree with homosexuality or even other sexual behaviors. For example: many people of faith believe that homosexuality is a sin. If Bill C-415 becomes law, expressing this belief would become a hate crime. Other people may believe that homosexuality is unnatural or a perversion. To express this belief would become a criminal offence,. Even citing documented scientific evidence of the health risks of homosexual behavior could become a hate crime.
CONSEQUENCES
If Bill C-415 becomes law, the following consequences will result, especially once hate crime charges are brought before the courts:
-the Bible, at least certain portions of the Bible, may be declared "hate literature."
-Expressing disagreement with homosexual behavior or the homosexual agenda, either verbally or in writing, would be considered hate propaganda.
-Educators, inclulding those at private religious schoold, will not be able to refuse to teach homosexual curriculum.
-Religious institutions will not be allowed to teach anything non-supportive of homosexual sex.
-Governments(including local municipalities) will be prevented from passing(even debating) sex standards laws.
-churches will not be able to mention certain Scriptures
-Parents may be subjected to criminal charges if they refuse to allow their children to attend classes that teach about and promote homosexual behavior.
Are we going to allow the Canadian government to pass laws which are more totalitarian and morally corrupt than seen in some communist dictatorial and fascist regimes?
Please be aware that you will be told by some members of parliament that religion based views are exempt from this law, based on the religious subject term in section 319. Not true. We have already seen courts ignore the fundamental rights of religious freedoms, beliefs and even conscience.
In reality, even without this new law, religioius freedoms have been trampled on by courts and human rights commissions consistently in recent years. Courts have chosen to give so called "equality rights" greater weight than religous freedom rights.
The ammendments propsed by bill C-415 are oppressive and dangerous. They repress freedom of religion and freedom of speech. Canadians will lose the basic democratic right to express the convictions of their conscience. We will no longer have the right to debate sexual standards. At least one Ontario Liberal MP has already stated that sexual orientation inlude all forms of sexual behavior, sodomy, bestiality, pedophilia, homosexuality, bisexuality, transsexuality, polygamy, and even sado-masochism.
WHAT WE CAN DO
CFAC is calling upon you to demand our government defeat Bill C-415
Bill C-415 is not about hate crimes: It is about denying freedom of speech and freedom of religion.
Two people you can email regarding this to voice your opinion: Andy Scott of the Justice Committee, which is responsible for studying this amendment. Insist that no amendments be made to the hate crime law. The amendment should be scrapped.
Justice Minister, Martin Cauchon, insist he not allow this kind of assault on free speech and freedom of religion by such an oppressive law.
