  1. copy this and send it to your MP
    I am writing you to express my deep misgivings and opposition to Motion M-103, titled “Systemic racism and religious discrimination.”
    This motion will encourage legislation that would criminalize speech deemed “islamophobic” and lay the groundwork for imposing what is essentially a Sharia anti-blasphemy law on all of Canada.
    This motion uses the term “islamophobia” without defining it, and without substantiating that there is in fact any such widespread problem in Canada.
    This will lead to ideologically-driven overreach and enforcement against alternative points of view—including mature, reasoned criticisms of Islam.
    That kind of content-based, viewpoint-discriminatory censorship is unacceptable in a Western liberal democracy.
    Furthermore, Motion M-103 addresses a particular religion to the government’s special consideration, while ignoring hostility toward other faiths, such as Christianity or Judaism.
    Passing this resolution would demonstrate a clear and impermissible governmental preference for Islam over other faiths.
    For all these reasons, I strongly urge that you retract and oppose Motion M-103 unless all references to specific religions and ideologies are removed.
    sincerely,

  6. Shorter version
    If the motion is about riding the world of a fear can my local MP please explain why anyone protected by our fine human rights charter should be irrationally hesitant to criticise any religion out of fear of retribution? Further, is it really fair to single out one religion while ignoring the fears expressed by those idnividuals who fear to criticise any of the other beliefs?

  7. In case some of you missed the Trump rally in Florida yesterday. Trump invited a plain everyday blue collar guy named Gene Huber to the stage after he, Trump, while flying in the airport, saw a news clip of the press interviewing a Gene Huber who had taken a taxi to the airport at 4 AM in order to get a spot from which to see and hear Trump.

  8. In-settled Science:
    Anti-vaxxers are winning as ignorance and pseudo-science vanquish intelligence
    A couple of parallels to climate science:
    – The article that started it all “appeared in The Lancet, the prestige-heavy magazine about medicine published in Britain and read with intense care all over the world…The original article was signed by 13 investigators under the leadership of Andrew Wakefield, a gastroenterologist”
    – “What we’ve learned in the last five years,” according to Seth Mnookin, a science writer at MIT, “is that once you scare someone, you can’t just unscare them.”

  9. Rather than waste any more time on M-103, I’d suggest a better tactic. Why not put MP Iqra Khalid publicly on the spot by getting here to respond to this question:
    “Do you believe cartoonists in Canada should be free to make fun of Islam by depicting Mohammed in the manner of Charlie Hebdo? And if not, why?”

  10. We don’t pay for a Border Patrol. We pay for the RCMP. Only the ‘Murrcans pay for a Border Patrol but they’re so stupid they’d pay for just about anything.

  11. Uh CBSA, Canada border services agency. Not long ago unarmed, now armed coz the rcmp is too far away from southern border.

  12. Big news everyone. Trump has instituted a Muslum ban. However the courts have found it un constitutional. These are the “facts ” presented on question period today. Meanwhile, the conservatives leaders are in disarray, and motion 103 deserves unanimous support without debate .Well at least according to Craig Oliver . Yes , this is the people we have protecting us from fake news and our free speech .

    “Do you believe cartoonists in Canada should be free to make fun of Islam by depicting Mohammed in the manner of Charlie Hebdo? And if not, why?”
    …and how do you propose to make that happen? Can you get your MP to do that in question period?

  18. Many Canadians are wondering if the Muslim Brotherhood activist proponent of M-103 can grasp the irony of the fact that she is acting like the stereotypical muslime so many Canadians have learned to distrust and despise. Why would she be so arrogant, demanding, uncompromising, only inclusive if Islam is front and center, and playing like the victim of “islamophobia”, when it only wakes up more Canadians and makes them distrust muslimes even more? Were the Liberals so daft that they couldn’t anticipate the backlash? M-103 is destined to be the rallying point for Canadian Freedom of Speech, and THE issue for the next election as soon as it can happen.

  21. Freedom of speech will not be a rallying point for the next election,and watch most of the CPC MP’s vote FOR Motion 103. I predict a “yes” for this motion of about 98%.
    The concept of Freedom of speech is lost on most young people today, as in their simple-mindedness they believe if they can riot and burn,they have all the freedom they need.
    Read all of Canada’s top msm columnists,they reach far more people than we ever will,and every one of them is firmly in favor of 103. Kellie Leitch is being branded a racist,even by members of her own Party.
    The only hope the CPC has to win the next election is if we suffer an economic disaster,or if some of those Somalis we’re letting flood into the Country right now turn out to be violent jihadists.
    And I mean really violent,with a death toll of dozens of infidels.

  25. Why is there a continuing media blackout on the mosque shooting? Normally a high-profile incident like that would be extensively reported and analyzed. However in this case the media are very strangely silent. Any time the news is being suppressed, one should question whose agenda is being furthered by hiding the facts.
    There is a very strong suspicion that the facts of the case do not support the ‘islamophobia’ agenda, and that’s why M-103 is being hustled through parliament before the facts eventually leak out. In the absence of factual reporting rumors abound. The most plausible explanation that does fit the events is that the attack was motivated by the mosque’s condemnation of a homosexual relationship involving one of the members. However media attention to Islam’s intolerance for homosexuals wouldn’t fit the ‘islamophobia’ victim agenda would it?
    There’s more to this than we’ve been told and one must question who benefits by the suppression of news facts. Whether or not one likes RebelMedia is irrelevant, however the questions they posed still remain unanswered and have direct bearing on the M-103 debate and discussion. http://www.therebel.media/quebec-terror

  27. I agree with you. The incident is being used to push an agenda and we are not being told the truth. Has there been even one interview with the twin who would have much to say about whether or not his brother is a bigot, motivated by Islamophobia. There is a curtain of silence around this case and it raises important questions. Are Canadians being manipulated? We we — like Sweden — attempting to hide the negative aspects of Islam? You bet.

  29. I’m not sure about him being a convert, but he definitely is a sympathizer or, more likely, a useful infidel. After all, one does not have to be a Muslim to help wage jihad.
