Canadian government now policing sermons

We read:
"In Canada, a Christian television show was reinstated in December 2010 after being taken off the air in response to the host’s comments about homosexuality. Although Word TV is back on the air, the Canadian Broadcasting Standards Council is now prescreening and censoring its content.

“We spoke against a new proposed sex education curriculum that would teach gender identity, six genders, and sexual orientation to our children,” explained Dr. Charles McVety, president of Canada Christian College and host of the show.

McVety also spoke against a $400,000 Canadian government grant for a homosexual pride parade, which the government ultimately withdrew because of nudity and other illegal behavior.

The CBSC afforded McVety no hearing, ruling that he had breached the code of ethics. In reference to his comments criticizing the parade, the council ruled that the preacher used the term “sex parade” in a derogatory way during a sermon.

During a sermon? The Canadian government is now in the business of policing what is said in pulpits?

“The criminal code says the people in the parade should be prosecuted,” notes McVety. “But somehow, I am the one prosecuted for speaking against this.”

McVety was told if he commits further “offenses,” he will be permanently taken off the air in Canada. He must censor himself or else.

Six genders? Apparently, there's nothing radical gay activists won't say or do to make their small numbers look much larger, including, but not limited to, "inventing" new life forms.

As for the people of Canada, well, you wanted socialism, now you have it. Enjoy.

Obviously Canada does not have the same freedoms as the united States. Let's take this as a wake-up call in the U.S. and be very guarded about legislation and court rulings that move us closer to such a condition.

WORD OF THE DAY
OFFENDED, n.


The default condition of perpetual victims who respond, reflexively, by begging Big Nanny State Daddy to, coercively, shield them from things that they don't want to see, hear, or read.

So why don't you Yanks invade Canada to save it from itself, like you have so many other countries. Oh that's right, you tried that in 1812 and failed. Yep, better leave well enough alone then.

Anon 4:05, because our government has been infiltrated by so many Left-wing, Politically Correct pussies that the mere thought of invasion would be considered highly "insensitive" so it would never happen. Besides, in today's litigious society, I doubt an invasion would even legally stick.

Invade Canada? That would be a waste of time, since there's nothing to gain. The best thing is to leave them to themselves and just sit back and watch them self-destruct. Now that's real entertainment.

What are YOU going to do about it instead of whining on a friendly blog?

Abandon the TV, move to the States, and start an internet site with live streaming and pod cast sermons. Then say whatever you want to the Northern Fascists.
