FFFFFFFFFFKIN' CONSERVATIVES

Really Stephen Harper?

REALLY?

You'll get more details with the link but basically Harper is trying to push forward a bill that makes it legal for anyone who feels like it to speak out against a group, refuse services to a group and in general treat them like second class citizens because of who they are.

Specifically this "Defense of Religion" bull er I mean Bill is targeting two groups. Homophobes and Homosexuals, the homophobes now, at any point in their day, being able to refuse homosexuals whatever they want.
Don't wanna teach today? Call a student in your class a fag and spend the whole class telling them they're going to hell.
Don't feel like defending the peace? Oh just refuse to help because that person is queer and you don't want to deal with it.
What's that Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms protecting people from hate speech? This isn't "Hate Speech" no matter what they may be saying, so long as they tag "My religion says" before they say "We should kill all the homo's" it's still okay right? Right?

While the bill may be targeting homosexuals specifically it has to be worded vaugely enough that actually it covers everything? Don't like blacks? Other religions? how someone is dressed? WELL THEY'RE OFFENDING YOUR RELIGION, and now you don't have to deal with them.

This bill isn't defending religion, religion in Canada doesn't need defending. Having freedom of religion is having the right to gather and pray to your God, Goddess or intergalactic space lord. Not the freedom to try and harm or verbally attack other people just because your religion may (or even may not) think they're yucky.
That's Discrimination

And writing a bill that gives one group a free pass to discriminate is never going to fly. Stephen Harper, you should be ashamed of this bill and your attempt to sew the seeds of hate in Canada. I hope this comes back to bite you in the ass.
