Canada’s Liberal Party government has renewed its alarming push to criminalize quoting Bible verses by stripping religious protections so that “offenders” can be charged for “willfully promoting hatred” under the nation’s expanding “hate speech” laws.
The Canadian government isonce againpushing legislation that critics warn could outlaw quoting certain passages of Scripture, despite widespreadpublic backlash.

When the controversial legislation was first introduced last year, it ignited major concerns that the government was moving to further suppress free speech and religious freedoms.
Nevertheless, the bill returned to the Justice Committee agenda this week.
The bill would amend existing criminal code provisions governing “willfully promoting hatred,” eliminating protections that have historically shielded religious expression when made in good faith.
Conservative MP Andrew Lawton hasemergedas one of the bill’s most vocal opponents.
Earlier this month, he tabled a petition signed by thousands of Canadians urging the government to withdraw the legislation.
“I am proud to rise on behalf of Canadians, including in my own constituency, who are alarmed by what the government is doing through Bill C-9 – a bill that they claim will protect communities from hate, but in actuality exposes faith communities to harm from the government for daring to express their faith and quote religious texts,” Lawton told the House of Commons.
