The fact that Canada has hate speech laws is a scandal in itself. However, the country has just reached new levels of insanity, as an added provision might just make it unlawful to quote the Bible in some situations.

According to the New York Post:

Bill C-9, the Combatting Hate Act, introduced by Canadian Liberal Justice Minister Sean Fraser, passed the House of Commons on March 25 and now heads to the Senate.

The measure would expand Canada’s hate speech laws, create a new hate-crime offense, and add penalties for intimidating or blocking people from accessing houses of worship, cultural spaces, schools, senior residences, and cemeteries.

The sharpest criticism of the bill focuses on its repeal of a long-standing defense for religious speech in some criminal hate speech cases.

The fact that “criminal” and “speech” can be used in the same sentence when talking about Canadian law proves the insanity of it all. What this essentially does is make offense a victimized crime, or, in other words, feelings now dictate whether or not something is a crime.

Christian and Muslim groups say the change could chill sermons, religious debate, and other faith-based expression, while the Liberal government and some Jewish advocacy groups say the bill is aimed at combating antisemitism, not criminalizing religion.

Andrew Lawton, a Canadian Conservative member of Parliament who opposes the bill, said the legislation could leave faith communities vulnerable to prosecution for sharing their beliefs or quoting Scripture.

While you don't need any more proof that the left hates Christian, here is just one example of that. While they claim this is not intended to silence faiths they disagree with, we can almost be certain it will do just that. And to call this a slap in the face to freedom of religion would be an understatement.
