Once again you are using your feelings to disclaim
the story.
Bill C-16
This enactment amends the Canadian Human Rights Act to add gender identity and gender expression to the list of prohibited grounds of discrimination.

The enactment also amends the Criminal Code to extend the protection against hate propaganda set out in that Act to any section of the public that is distinguished by gender identity or expression and to clearly set out that evidence that an offence was motivated by bias, prejudice or hate based on gender identity or expression constitutes an aggravating circumstance that a court must take into consideration when it imposes a sentence.

I believe this article is false. From what I can find, the law adds gender expression to the Canadian Human Rights Code. The prevents the gov't and businesses under gov't jurisdiction, like banks, from discriminating against based on gender identity. It also allows crimes motivated by gender identity to be considered hate crimes.

The Canadian Bar rejected claims that the law would criminalize use of the wrong pronouns.

The issue is with having a list of protected groups in the first place and having crimes treated differently because their motive was "hate" or "terrorism".

Politicians get to claim credit for protecting yet another group. Bigots write crap articles like this one falsely claiming that protecting another group is the first step toward banning speech.

I can see this article as "an unabated attack on reality," but it's simpler to say the author is lying.

So we refer to a person by their sex, gender, gender preference, or... Just curious because I would not want the Canadians to feel compelled to define a standard. Don't want to ask too much of them.

Laughing...I was on the phone when asked: and your sex?...I responded enthusiastically...YES!
It's an old joke but still gets a laugh.

When the stars align..... Oldluckycarl :)

I'll be perfectly neutral and call these visual and/or mental hot-messes "it"

You can't even use the word 'human' because it has 'man' in it! Therefore i presume the correct word would be 'huit'. I also wonder how they will treat visitors to their country?

Mine has a big YES on it...!

Hi Kittyhawk,
I would call them as I see them like the Dino and OUC.
PC madness is social mad cow disease.

This forced speech gender pronoun issue is happening in the United States, too. http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2... That story makes me particularly irate, since this is a school, and the courts found that the teacher had the right to force others to refer to a single entity with a plural pronoun. According to the US government, there is now a special class of people who possess the right to force teachers to use improper grammar in the places where children are supposed to be learning proper grammar. It's insanity.

Hello Dobrien,

Yes Blair ,
Trudeau is a nut off the old fruit tree.
“Great news,” announced Justin Trudeau, Canada's prime minister. “Bill C-16 has passed the Senate.
I remember when his fathers wife Margret ran off with Mick Jagger and the Rolling Stones for a binge of some type.

I am compelled to tip my hat to you for concisely breaking down the main concern "freedom of speech" and ignoring reality.

One more reason not to go to Canada. The list gets longer.

No talk, no crime........paraphrase: "but I don't talk to you." BT

Wow, this is right out of Orwell.
Thoughtcrime. Double plus ungood.

Wash DC joins Oregon in not requiring sex on drivers license.

If it is so difficult to determine They should not be surprised or offended.

It's sounding more and more like just calling everyone "a&&#@!^" is going to get you into less legal trouble. :/

I call "it" the way I see it.

Laughing, thanks Dino...go get em!

This generation denies all reality and wants you to reflect their image or else!
Too late! I've already excepted the image of reality conscious human beings can reflect if one wishes existence to continue to exist without adverse consequences.
It's not mystical nor a social construct, it's quantumly physical. We should open up a worm hole so they can exit our dimension to one that suits their retarded mental constructs. They reportedly have 10 others to choose from.

So what is the correct pronoun for a hermaphrodite? In the fact that pronouns are subjective to both appearance, social perception and desired intent of conversation(IE: do you intend to offend) this is like making it law that everyone must have exactly the same accent, or a particular eye color. The law is an over zealous attempt to define everyone by one set of perceptions, it is going to be either become a very big joke as to enforcement or quickly repealed due to a vulgarize problem that proves to have been just that a mistake in what is perceived on someone.
