As an example of the very alarming, anti-democratic, anti-freedom-of-speech direction our Canadian Federal Parliament is taking all of us Canadians, you couldn’t get better than the latest piece of legislation rubber stamped by unanimous acclamation just days ago. I refer to "Bill C-4, An Act to amend the Criminal Code (conversion therapy)”.
Bill C-4 had a very startling, even revolutionary, warp speed passage through the House of Commons and the Senate on the way to the automatic Royal Assent of our appointed Governor General, someone whose name is not worth looking up since this person might as well be made of plaster for all the relevance he or she possesses as a living person. Normally, proposed legislation is given a first, second and third reading in the House, each reading followed by committee work and debate. This process takes months at least.
But a few days ago this process was cut short when the proposed Bill C-4 was read aloud and the government asked that the second and third readings be dispensed with to get this Act passed right then and there, no debate, no committee work, no careful consideration.
In the Canada I was born in and which I became familiar with over the years of my youth, just hearing the news on the CBC, the debates in the House of Commons between the government and the loyal opposition were often quite rancorous, Hansard recording “Some members: Oh Oh!” and similar expressions of political warfare. I thought that was how our system is supposed to work in order to make sure this continued to be a democratic country governed for the benefit of all citizens, Liberal or Conservative, or of those classical opposing styles of belief whatever their party affiliation. I can almost hear the stentorian hostility and scorn our leaders of the Opposition when I was a kid (whether Liberal or Conservative at the time) would say to a Prime Minister’s request that a new Act amending the criminal code should be greased through the House like grass through a goose in one day. This request comes from a prime minister and a government determined to overthrow the Canadian system of government. “Liberty, my fellow Canadians,” said John Diefenbaker as Leader of the Opposition so long ago, “I fear for the future of my country.”
But this is a new age in Canada. When the preamble to Bill C-4 was read aloud the House rose as one clapping and cheering, the Opposition Conservatives and NDP and Bloque Quebecois joining in acclaiming the Bill, rubber stamping it on the spot and throwing away their duty to be the Opposition. Cheers rocked the House. Members including Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and the leader of the official Opposition Conservative Party (some guy named O’Toole who will soon be replaced I’m sure, having lost the recent election) crossed the House to embrace one another and shake hands and pat each other on the back. American readers may not grasp what a revolution that is, what a violation of our parliamentary tradition that is. The government and all the (theoretical) Opposition are as one in their ideology. They are so interchangeable that the idea of voting for or against any one of them has been rendered absurd.
I think a new law to amend our criminal code ought to take months of debate in the House before passage, don’t you? The Criminal Code of Canada is what our judges are to enforce in order to fine, imprison or otherwise punish and discourage crimes for the better protection of our people against criminals. So the definition of what is a crime is quite crucial and ought to be considered with the utmost care. The preamble to Bill C-4 is very clear as to what the government who proposed it, and the “Opposition” which acclaimed it as if it were a gift from Santa Clause, intend to impose on the majority of our people:
"Preamble
Whereas conversion therapy causes harm to the persons who are subjected to it;
Whereas conversion therapy causes harm to society because, among other things, it is based on and propagates myths and stereotypes about sexual orientation, gender identity and gender expression, including the myth that heterosexuality, cisgender gender identity, and gender expression that conforms to the sex assigned to a person at birth are to be preferred over other sexual orientations, gender identities and gender expressions;
And whereas, in light of those harms, it is important to discourage and denounce the provision of conversion therapy in order to protect the human dignity and equality of all Canadians;
Now, therefore, Her Majesty, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate and House of Commons of Canada, enacts as follows:..”
I have to unpack this because we Canadians no longer have an Opposition in the House of Commons which will do that duty for us all.
What is “Conversion Therapy”? It is assumed in this preamble what that is. It causes "harm to society", says the preamble, because it propagates a myth. The thing which is called a myth, something which is untrue, is the idea that “heterosexuality” and all of its expressions which “conform” to our sex at birth as evinced by our genitals at birth are “to be preferred” over homosexuality or any other orientation or claimed gender expression. Our sex, my fellow Canadians, which we thought was given us by biology (regardless of the employment of our genitals we may decide on when we reach the age of consent) is no longer discovered at our birth or by a prenatal scan. Now our sex, says the entire House of Commons on our behalf, whether we like it or not, is “assigned" at birth.
Assigned by whom? No word of definition is offered here or in the new standard manual all psychologists must now refer to and now Canadian judges will now believe in and act upon. Who does this job of “assigning” our “gender” at birth? There’s no definition offered because there can’t possibly be a definition of something which is completely senseless and, dare I say it, a myth. Do we as parents “Assign” the “Gender” of our babies at birth? Apparently the vast majority of us parents must be doing that, since we assume on sight that a baby with male genitals is a boy. But “assign” “gender”? This is insane. Nobody ever did that or ever will.
We, the majority of Canadians, do not “assign”, we discover the “gender” indicated by our genitals which are revealed to the world upon the birth of our babies. “Is it a boy or a girl?” All you have to do is look at the genitals of the newborn to answer that simple question. This is because in any and every society all over the world regardless of culture or religion at least 95% of people identify with their birth genitals, with the sexual preference of male or female as biology would have it and all the cultural norms of sexual expression in their particular societies. Everywhere you go from Ottawa to Beijing, from Toronto to Timbuktu, boys like girls and boys dress like boys are supposed to and girls like boys and dress how girls are supposed to to attract the opposite sex so that sexual reproduction may take place and a new generation be born to carry on the future of the species. Those in any and every culture who differ in their sexual preferences, boys liking boys and girls liking girls, are perpetually a minority, or there would be a whole lot less kids born and the extinction of that culture is on the way. Where did this sexual reproduction come from? Birds do it, bees do it, even educated fleas do it. Blue footed boobies do it and even orchids do it. Male attracts Female. Every creature higher on the scale than bacteria do it. Why? Because sexual reproduction is the way our world of today came to be. And for birds and bees and oak trees and humans there are Two Sexes, male and female.
But now our government and all our elected representatives call the biology of sexual reproduction a Myth. And they are going to enforce their new reality on all of us. The sections of the Criminal Code of Canada governing "matter seized under subsection (1), and alleged to be obscene, child pornography, a voyeuristic recording, an intimate image, an advertisement of sexual services..” Have now been amended to include "an advertisement for conversion therapy”. What’s that?
"Definition of conversion therapy
320.101 In sections 320.102 to 320.104, conversion therapy means a practice, treatment or service designed to
(a) change a person’s sexual orientation to heterosexual;
(b) change a person’s gender identity to cisgender;
(c) change a person’s gender expression so that it conforms to the sex assigned to the person at birth;
(d) repress or reduce non-heterosexual attraction or sexual behaviour;
(e) repress a person’s non-cisgender gender identity; or
(f) repress or reduce a person’s gender expression that does not conform to the sex assigned to the person at birth.”
If we had an Opposition in the House of Commons they might have argued that this Act is what is mythical, that is it denounces physical reality and substitutes a number of lies for the truth. It might have argued – hell! The opposition had the duty to argue – that children in Canadian public schools and students in Canadian universities are daily subjected to “material” which promotes homosexuality and transsexuality as “preferred” orientations. The result has been a social contagion which has seen the number of underage children claiming to be “born into the wrong body” to skyrocket. The numbers of clinics dedicated to “converting” children to the opposite “gender” have increased dramatically in recent years. At least one father has been jailed and silenced because he objected to his 14 year old daughter being given sex change hormones which he was officially informed would harm her health and sterilize her for life. Public schools and libraries are now hosting “Drag Queen Story Hour” for little children; one such display included a strip tease by a trans-sexual dancer to an audience of six year olds and their parents.
If we had an Opposition who would speak for all of us who object to this trans-humanism, this “conversion therapy” they would have pointed out that the opposing persuasion by fundamentalist Christians is pretty feeble compared to this government enforced doctrine. They might also have pointed out the growing incidence of people who have undergone “conversion therapy” to “transition" them from a girl to and boy and vice versa are having remorse and they are “detransitioning” because they miss their sexual identity. They have found that their sex at birth was not assigned by any human, even by themselves, it was “assigned” by nature, or God if you will.
But we don’t have any such Opposition. Nobody to argue for the vast majority of Canadians and their values. So now anybody who objects to the government’s conversion therapy had better shut up. These people are now to be called criminals along with child pornographers and child sex traffickers.
"Everyone who knowingly promotes or advertises conversion therapy is
(a) guilty of an indictable offence and liable to imprisonment for a term of not more than two years; or
(b) guilty of an offence punishable on summary conviction.”
What is advertising conversion therapy? Promoting a contrary opinion to the government’s transsexual doctrinal revolution. The government is targeting opinions. Freedom of speech is a thing of the despised Heterosexual past. Freedom isn’t free in Canada anymore. It costs arrest, fines, imprisonment and, most of all, disappearance from any publication in print or on-line allowed by the government. The majority of Canadians – which is the biological majority of all humans from time immemorial – who birth and raise children are not represented by what we thought were our elected representatives. The government and all the legislators obviously hate the majority of Canadians. This recent election which brought these representatives into the House has installed in power people who are determined to make their hatred of us heterosexuals the ruling orthodoxy enforced by judges and police.
The trans-humanist cult which has seized the Liberal Party plunges ever faster and deeper down the rabbit hole to some degenerate Wonderland where real is unreal and sane is insane and sex is “assigned” by a government with absolute power. If law is law for all equally and acts in conformity to majority opinion this Bill C-4 is not law, it’s the opposite of law. It’s the proclamation of a dictatorship determined to turn human beings into robot slaves.
Oh, oh Canada! Who do we vote for now? And why should we vote at all. Democracy is rule by the majority by definition. What do you call rule by the minority, in fact the tiniest minority the government is able to identify? What do you call that but absolute tyranny? It’s tyranny over the minority as well, my homosexual and transsexual friends. Mark my words. You will feel it to
