Canada criminalizes the wrong use of gender pronouns

The attack on reality is now unabated.

Jordan Peterson, a professor at the University of Toronto, and one of the bill’s fiercest critics, spoke to the Senate before the vote, insisting that it infringed upon citizens’ freedom of speech and institutes what he views as dubious gender ideology into law.

“Compelled speech has come to Canada,” stated Peterson. “We will seriously regret this.”

    I hope I live long enough to see this this type of blind infringement on freedom go away. Or, I hope I die before most of our constitutional freedoms are taken away. In any case most of the change will not be realized until after I'm dead.

    Right on the nose with that prose, Herb.
    That dirty word Will hurt you...I say, we should not talk to them at all, just nod and stop doing business with them.

    No, your correct, it never ends; they seemed to have created something infinite.
    What they have to realize though, is that their behavior in not human like, therefore we can't consider them human so "It" or Entity is generously appropriate.

    Even your satire could be considered illegal now in Canada. Some of those "its" might be offended by your use of the "dehumanizing" term "it." I've read elsewhere that (depending on whether "it" was a "he" that became a "she" or the other way around, or whether "it" just "identifies" a certain way that day) some of their preferred terms are "zhe" or some other made-up term. The idiocy never ends, does it?

    "Compelled speech." What a phrase! Think of those two words. What an elegant way of saying "talk my way or suffer the consequences." In one fell swoop, Canada has dealt freedom of speech a blow so harsh that the freedom of speech in The Great White North can be seen melting away. Now there's the Global Warming one should fear."Compelled Speech." That's what I call "dirty words."

    The heart of this law is some people denying reality who then want to force others to join them in that denial. It's a literally ridiculous law and I pity all Canadians for the loss of freedom this will bring about. I will wait and say "I told you so" when the whole thing collapses under the weight of reality.

    During 1973, a brother and I spent a night camping out several feet away from the Rio Grande. It was not something we were supposed to do at Big Bend National Park but we did it anyway.
    A couple of days later we crossed the border and drove through the initial surprise of harebrained traffic from Mexicalli to Tijuana, recrossed the border into San Diego and saw the Pacific Ocean for the first time in our lives. That was then.
    Now me dino would not to go no where near our southern border under any circumstances. Why? Lead poisoning or being kidnapped can ruin my day.
    My family took me as a kid into Canada just to sight-see that side of Niagara Falls. That was the only time I've been anywhere really close to Canada.
    Would me dino go anywhere close to the Canadian border? Up until today, I wouldn't have minded seeing some of Canada. I'd like to see a prominent statue of some somewhat famous dude named Hebron that I'm a descendant of on my mama's side.
    As of today, I'd only like to step right up to the border where there's a lot of people on the other side and start screaming pronouns.
    Eureka! New thought~I would also hold a huge sign with all the forbidden speech pronouns written red upon white upon it..
    Maybe I'll also dress up to be myself~

    Sometimes it is difficult to determine gender someone is. Do you ask? Then will they be offended? What if they are a mosaic of both sexes?

    En français aussi? Personne ne sait!

    Dommage, le mot «personne» est pénalement féminin.

    Only the "strip searcher knows for sure"...
    ..other than that, it'll be: a long haired blond, hairy faced entity with hairy legs, a big bulge in it's skirt, no shirt and 3 big blue boobs!
    Also smoking a big fat cigar at the time...Oh yea, I forgot... tiny tiny feets.
    Sincerely, Diddle Not Right...or wrong, it's relative...

    You should be able to picture that.

    Notice: not responsible for any nightmares you might have about the above described entity.

    All joking aside...I would not give them the satisfaction of using the pronouns of their choice. I would not refer to them a human, people, them or they..."It" will do just fine.

    That brings up a future consideration. Should a police........ or a Royal Mounted Dudley Do Right
    Or Dudlie Do Right or Diddle Not Right or even a Stanley Ann Dunham ask what kind of human or even be allowed to get a discription of an assailant. What if all the victim could say was Stanley Ann Dunham did it? Who perhaps would they find?

    Either one talks to no one or at least avoids the use of any pronouns what so ever...

    Might be tough at first but it can be done even when writing a story.

    The entity in question, raped another entity and then fled the scene...official law entities followed to no avail.
    The victim claimed that even though it did not give permission, it felt kinda good.
