Bill C-9 is yet another draconian law being pushed by a liberal party that is run by Marxist ideology and sees Christianity as an obstacle to get rid of freedom of religion in Canada. This bill expands the state's powers to promote hate speech by watering down the definition of hate speech, and even risks criminalizing dissent.

00:00:00.000 We are actually saying that it is okay to charge a person and then the charter can be used as a
00:00:10.120 sword of defense. Whereas before our law always represented a shield, a shield for people to be
00:00:17.480 able to practice their faith without the coercion of a state apparatus over them.
00:00:23.620 M.P. Miller stated that some biblical passages are, in his words, clearly hateful and suggested that prosecutors should be able to press charges against Christians for quoting scripture.
00:00:39.860 I am also alarmed by the audacity of Liberal Minister of Culture, Mark Miller, who stated that certain Bible passages, quote, are clearly hateful and, quote,
00:00:50.740 there should perhaps be discretion for prosecutors to press charges. There are clearly passages in religious texts that are clearly hateful, unquote.
00:01:00.620 So it looks like Mark Carney and his liberal minions just tried to criminalize the Bible here in Canada, making it a punishable offense for Christians and people in general to quote or invoke the Holy Scriptures.
00:01:13.900 This is yet another example in the latest attempt by the woke left to go after Christians, this time targeting the most important book in Christianity and Judaism and attacking a religious symbol considered sacred by around 20 million Canadians.
00:01:36.780 The Bible is not hate speech. Biblical teaching must never be criminalized. Even apart from the issue of outlying religious speech that liberals find offensive, I oppose Bill C-9 for its unconstitutional and unjustified attempt at censorship.
00:01:55.300 While I may disagree with people who express words and ideas that are hateful or derisive, I do not think they should be imprisoned.
00:02:03.380 I would rather know what they are thinking so their views may be exposed to public scrutiny and debate.
00:02:11.480 I believe in our fundamental right to freedom of expression enshrined in our Constitution.
00:02:16.680 It must be protected in its broadest form up to the point of calling for actual violence, which is already illegal under our current criminal code.
00:02:25.040 It is unwise and dangerous to give the police, the courts or the government the power to censor, regulate and control the speech of free citizens in a free country.
00:02:37.860 And let's not forget, there's absolutely zero reference to Christianity.
00:02:43.680 Christianity is under attack in this country.
00:02:48.560 I don't know what was funny about Christianity being under attack.
00:02:52.300 But nevertheless, Madam Speaker, churches have been burned.
00:02:57.000 Christian churches have been burned at an alarming rate.
00:03:00.680 Between May of 2021 and December of 2023, 33 Christian churches have been burned in this country, with the vast majority being arson-based.
00:03:13.660 Bill C-9 is yet another draconian law being pushed by a liberal party that is run by Marxist ideology and sees Christianity as an obstacle to get rid of.
00:03:25.920 Freedom of religion has been under significant attack in Canada for the past decade, especially when it comes to Christians.
00:03:33.220 A perfect example is the forced closing of churches back in the days of the virus, while places like Walmart and restaurants just continue to operate as normal.
00:03:45.060 It's quite obvious at this point that the ruling class in Canada under Justin Trudeau and now under Mark Carney see the church as an enemy.
00:03:54.760 But don't take my word for it.
00:03:56.800 This is what the liberals themselves have to say about it.
00:03:59.960 If someone were literally invoking a passage from, in this case, the Bible, but there are other religious texts that say the same thing, and somehow constantly say that this is good faith.
00:04:10.900 I mean, clearly there are situations in these texts where these statements are hateful.
00:04:14.840 They should not be used to invoke or be a defense, and there should perhaps be discretion for prosecutors to press charges.
00:04:23.240 I just want to understand what your notion of good faith is in this context, where there are clearly passages in religious texts that are clearly hateful.
00:04:31.340 Beginning with my first objection to Bill C-9, I find it quite perplexing that Christian hate was not even mentioned in the bill.
00:04:41.280 In recent years, we have seen alarming hate-motivated attacks, including burning and vandalism of churches across Canada.
00:04:53.000 Just last week, a century-old Ukrainian Orthodox Church in Edmonton was burned to the ground.
00:05:00.840 As we witness a record number of sacred spaces being destroyed, Christians have noticed the government's silence.
00:05:07.840 Congregations have been left in fear, and people of faith feeling abandoned by their government's lack of enforcement of existing laws.
00:05:17.980 In this context, it is shocking that a bill about combating hate is completely silent on the rise of Christian hate. 0.83
00:05:27.860 The government's press release mentions anti-Semitism, Islamophobia, homophobia, and transphobia.
00:05:35.920 Yet, it makes no mention of the rise of hate crimes towards Christians.
00:05:41.460 This bill does not add new protections for worshippers.
00:05:45.800 Instead, it expands state powers by removing the legal safeguards and watering down the definition of hate speech.
00:05:55.400 It paves the path towards politicizing restrictions on speech.
00:05:59.480 It even risks criminalizing dissent to what some would call thought crimes.
00:06:07.620 We must exercise caution.
00:06:11.440 Once such powers are granted to the government, they can be weaponized by any government against its critics.
00:06:19.740 The existing criminal code already covers the most serious offences.
00:06:25.120 Section 318 makes it a crime to advocate or promote genocide.
00:06:29.720 Section 319 criminalizes public incitement of hatred and willful promotion of hate, and speech that would lead to a breach of peace.
00:06:39.960 These provisions already strike a careful balance between protecting Canadians from true hate and safeguarding freedom of expression.
00:06:50.320 Bill C-9 attempts to redefine hatred so vaguely that it risks capturing legitimate debate.
00:06:59.240 This is a law they're trying to pass as we speak.
00:07:02.480 While Canadians go to work and try to pay their bills, our government is focusing on trying to undermine religious freedom, 0.62
00:07:10.560 making more than half of Canada potential criminals due to our belief in the Bible.
00:07:16.360 A book that has been attacked for thousands of years is now the target of a government
00:07:20.780 that is hell-bent on diminishing the church's role in our society.
00:07:25.620 But hey, that seems to be the communist way, so no surprise there.
00:07:29.940 Read your Bible while you have the freedom in the United States.
00:07:33.380 Don't be one of those cities where God is like, it would have been better for them than for you on Judgment Day.
00:07:39.000 Because remember in Matthew chapter 11 verses 21 through 24, he's talking about Capernaum and all these other nations
00:07:45.560 where he's like, it's better for them than for you because Capernaum literally had witnesses.
00:07:52.500 They had witness of Jesus Christ.
00:07:54.220 They had miracles up close.
00:07:56.120 They saw him for themselves and they still didn't repent.
00:07:59.340 Then Jesus goes to say, but if Sodom and Gomorrah would have seen the same thing,
00:08:03.440 they would have repented a long time ago.
00:08:05.780 And so I use that as an example because if you have the freedom to read your Bible, do it.
00:08:10.760 Because all these other nations, if they had the same freedom as you,
00:08:13.820 some of them would be on it like that.
00:08:15.900 They would be reading every single day because they have the freedom to do so.
00:08:19.360 So take advantage of it while you have it.
00:08:21.340 Like other nations, it's literally illegal to worship God on the streets in public.
00:08:27.100 Like you have that freedom.
00:08:29.600 Take advantage of it.
00:08:31.040 Don't be one of them people on Judgment Day where God is just like you had it right in front of you
00:08:36.200 and you didn't use it.
00:08:37.740 Don't be one of those people, please.
00:08:39.680 Well, thank you for watching.
