#1 This isn't going to end well, and the people who instituted Canada's gun registration laws knew it early on. Another example of the fact that anyone who wants to disarm the populace intends to do something the majority of the populace won't like as soon as they've rendered the intended victims helpless.

#2 If one, because of ones sincerely held moral beliefs, whether it be Jew, Muslim, Christian, Catholic, opposes the idea of same-sex marriage in Canada, is that considered hate?

Now, that's a very silly question. Everybody knows that.
(a) Whatever Muslims do, it's not a hate crime.
(b) Judaism is a hate crime (cause Jews are so hateful---7 billion people cannot be wrong.)

#3 Following the example of Popes John Paul II and Benedict XV, Father has stated on several occasions that we must love homosexuals and treat them with the dignity due every human person. The basic view of the Church is that homosexual acts are a sin, but we love the sinner, Father told me during an interview. Opposing same-sex marriage is not the same as rejecting homosexuals as persons. This is the deeply-held belief of orthodox Christians that is now considered a possible hate act warranting state intervention. This is what happens when government agencies broadly define homophobia as opposition to any homosexual act.

This is horrifying! YEt it is also the very sort of "speech code" that fascists liberals have imposed on many a college campus here in the US. The Dem control of Congress combined with the election of Obama, the most liberal Senator (more liberal than Kenney!), to the presidency, combined with thier being beholden to the far left homosexual movement, portends the introduction of horrors of these sorts to us here in the US.

#4 Imagine that! Canadas human rights tribunals are now attempting to prosecute a case against an American resident, based upon what an American citizen allegedly posted to a mainstream American Catholic website. What passes for mainstream Catholic discussion in America is now the basis for a hate complaint in Canada

This crap has got to stop. The leftist Gestapo and thier kangroo court have gone too far.

Canadians, WTF is wrong with you?

#5 It appears to me that, when McCain wins, the hate-spewing American leftist liberals will not be able to move to Canada after all. Too bad.

#6 No, no, Darrell - you obviously misunderstand.

Leftists by ~~their own~~ definition can't hate. Only those who disagree with Leftists can hate. ~~And boy, do Leftists hate them.~~

Do try to keep up.

#7 If there was any question that this type of speech control could find its way into American law consider that the US Senate has already passed the Matthew Shepard Local Law Enforcement Hate Crimes Prevention Act. If this legislation is signed into law, speech that is based on actual or perceived race, color, religion, national origin, sexual orientation or disability would be subject to criminal charges. Just so were clear on that it only has to be perceived to be hate speech. In other words...hurtful could be redefined as hateful. And consider this. Had Senator Obama been President this would already be signed into law. Scary shit considering he still has refused to describe his former Pastors words as racist.

#9 Ya know shit like this can infect the U.S. I am guessing the first time the gays accuse Islam as a hate crime this will all go away.

#10 Are free speech and freedom of religion guaranteed in the Canadian constitution? Does Canada have a constitution? Aw forget it -- I don't really care about Canada. I withdraw the questions.

#11 Guess again. Islam trumps homosexuality in the hierarchy of grievance. Plus there are all sorts of gay people dumb enough to protest against Israel despite the fact in Israel they could get married and serve in the armed forces whereas in "Palestine" they would be thrown into a cesspit to die.

The left cannot learn. Leftism is a form of brain disease.

#12 "Leftism is a form of brain disease."

Wouldn't the lefties have to have a brain for it to be diseased, Excal?

#13 Islamic rules and liberal "tolerance" (their version, not yours or Webber's) mean you are a hateful, spiteful little being that needs jailed and fined until you admit you are wrong and think like they do.
