“n a move that strikes at the heart of Canada’s foundational principles, the Liberal government is fast-tracking Bill C-9, a hate speech bill that would strip away protections for sincerely held religious beliefs. This isn’t hyperbole—it’s the direct result of a political deal with the Bloc Québécois, where the Liberals agreed to remove a key exemption to secure support and ram the legislation through Parliament. As of today, this amendment threatens to criminalize passages from sacred texts like the Bible, Quran, and Torah, turning expressions of faith into potential hate crimes.

Dr. Leslyn Lewis, Conservative MP for Haldimand—Norfolk, warned in a stark post this afternoon: “The Liberal government has agreed to remove the religious exemption in their hate speech bill, C-9… This shift comes at the direct expense of Christians and other religious communities across Canada. No government should ever negotiate away religious liberty in exchange for political support.”
