Bill C-16 copy

BILL C-16 PASSES THROUGH HOUSE OF COMMONS

Sadly, MPs voted to pass federal Bill C-16 this past Friday, bringing us closer to men being permitted in all female spaces in Canada and potentially forcing Canadians to use pronouns such as "Ze", "Zir", "Xe", and "Xim".

This bill has been rushed through the legislative process; After being introduced on May 17th, Bill C-16 passed easily through a vote in the House of Commons on October 18th and went on to be studied by the Standing Committee on Justice and Human Rights.

We were shocked to learn that the Committee on Justice and Human Rights did not hold any public hearings on the bill - an "outrageous sidestep of democracy." Bill C-16 will now face the Senate for voting as well as study by the Senate's Standing Committee on Legal and Constitutional Affairs.


THE SENATE & BILL C-279

Bill C-16 is actually the 5th time a gender identity bill has been introduced in Parliament. Most recently, a very similar bill went through the House of Commons: Bill C-279 passed through the House in Sept. 2011 but was halted when it reached the Senate, where it faced more scrutiny and a number of controversial amendments which the Transgender community opposed. The bill was ultimately dropped when a federal election was called.

This means that the Senate is willing to consider opposition to the bill and they need to hear from us now!

TORONTO PROF FIGHTS FOR FREE SPEECH

UofT Professor Jordan Peterson stepped into national spotlight after releasing a series of Youtube videos outlining his refusal to use gender-neutral pronouns and opposing political correctness.

Peterson condemns the OHRC's definition of gender as "a person's sense of being a woman, a man, both, neither, or anywhere along the gender spectrum." This, in combination with federal Bill C-16 can, and most likely will seriously infringe upon the free speech of Canadians.

Professor Peterson's position is that it is not appropriate for the government to mandate the words that its citizens should speak. For this, he has come under intense scrutiny and attack from university staff, students, and transgender activists from across the nation.

He needs our support!!


WATCH UNIVERSITY DEBATE ON C-16 & FREE SPEECH

Prof. Peterson took part in a debate on November 19th at the University of Toronto defending his position against two other Canadian professors. We encourage all supporters of free speech to watch the debate which can be found on Mr. Peterson's Youtube Channel.
