A shorter part of a clip posted, I like this part and seeing him slap down people who have no clue what they are talking about.

I wonder why the idea of giving human rights to trans people is "ridiculous" to you then. mmm

And it's not, turns out to nobody's surprise DMB in his trigger-happy ignorance has misconstrued the law entirely. 🙁

FYI:
For those compelled to speak and act in truth, however unpopular, truth is included in those defences. Nothing in the section compels the use or avoidance of particular words in public as long as they are not used in their most "extreme manifestations" with the intention of promoting the "level of abhorrence, delegitimization and rejection" that produces feelings of hatred against identifiable groups.

Those concerned that they could be criminalized for their repugnant or offensive ideas fail to understand a crucial distinction in the law. As the Supreme Court of Canada has explained:

[/b][/quote]This law is not criminalising free speech, and it is not criminalising hurting people's feelings, but giving trans people the same human rights as everybody else.

And if you prefer facts to silly narratives I suggesting reading that statement in full. 👆 [/B][/QUOTE]

as long as they are not used in their most "extreme manifestations" with the intention of promoting the "level of abhorrence, delegitimization and rejection" that produces feelings of hatred against identifiable groups.

And who decides what's extreme? It's open to interpretation, and therefore can err on the side of criminalizing free speech.

We see it happen all the time.

Exactly, this is the problem. Extreme speech...hate speech, etc. is different depending on the person. So we run into a problem because some of these folk consider talking about facts to be hate speech or extreme speech. This doesn't just happen with trans issues either.

So I'm genuinely curious as to who decides what is or is not extreme? On what merits do we even choose who is in charge of deciding if this is extreme speech?

Leftist Extremist get to decide what is Extreme. Because They Know EXTREME! Like it was the 90's all over again!

Support. Our country could use more protective bills like this. Hell, it is still legal to spank children in Canada.

There's a difference between speech and physical violence. Words are not violence, they are words.

Laws mean nothing without the instruments and infrastructure to enforce it. Only Ontario if I recall has a full body Kangaroo Court in place to enforce this ruling in non Federal spheres. Most provinces do not have a full blown human rights commission like Ontario where you can make claims for all type of bogus shit if you are one of the "protected groups". Where this will hit people the hardest are those who work in public facing Government roles whom only need one tweaked out Tranny to ruin their working career.

What now gets interesting is the medical field. I look forward to all the converted Tinas into Tim who end up in ER and demand to be treated as Man and get a male's dose of anesthetics. When the liver is recoil and the heart is about to blow up they will get a start reality of how nature has no time or patience for what you feel about your biology.

Not Canadian so not my place to weigh in on, beside of course the reminder to remember who gets to determine what constitutes hate speech...

The road to hell is paved with good intentions.
