"BATHROOM BILL" TO BE DEBATED THIS WEEK

The government has scheduled a second reading of Bill C-16 for Tuesday, October 18th. Introduced in May, Bill C-16 would add the terms 'gender identity' and 'gender expression' to the Canadian Human Rights Act and Criminal Code, and make it illegal to discriminate on the basis of these two categories.

WHAT'S THE BIG DEAL?

This bill will put a large number of Canadians in danger. Males of any age will have the legal right to share the same bathrooms and change rooms used by our young daughters and there have already been numerous reports of women being confronted in the ladies washroom by men claiming the legal right to be there.

Most concerningly, Bill C-16 will put anyone who speaks out against transgenderism at risk of committing "hate speech" and facing legal punishment. Christians in particular could face legal trouble for simply upholding biblical principles.

WHAT YOU CAN DO:

Bill C-16 will come to a vote shortly after debate begins this Wednesday. Depending on how long the debate lasts, voting will likely take place before the end of the month. In the meantime, we can all do the following:

1) PRAY:
Please pray that MPs would find a way to offer real help and hope to those struggling with gender confusion without putting other Canadians at risk. Most importantly, please pray that those struggling with confusion and identity would come to an acknowledgement and love for who they were created by God to be.

2) SIGN THE PETITION:

BILL 28: ONTARIO GOVERNMENT QUIETLY BANNING 'MOTHER' & 'FATHER'

The Ontario Liberal Party is re-engineering family through Bill 28, called the "All Families Are Equal Act". In summary, this bill eliminates the word mother 17 times and father 23 times from provincial family law and creates 4 parents instead of 2. "Mother" is being replaced by "birth parent" or simply, "parent".

Shockingly, this bill is being rushed through by the Ontario Liberal Party with very little opposition from the Ontario PC Party and with nearly no reporting on it in the media. Bill 28 was only introduced on September 29th and has already passed both first and second readings and is now in committee stage. The committee will be hearing witness testimonies on October 17th and 18th, and so this item requires urgent action.

WHAT YOU CAN DO (RESIDENTS OF ONTARIO AND BEYOND!)
