Bill 279: A “Gender-Bender”

The purpose of this bill is to change the law in Canada to include and protect yet two more sex-related phenomena. Currently, in Canada's Human Rights Act, people are protected from discriminatory practices based on race, national or ethnic origin, colour, religion, age, marital status, family status, sex, sexual orientation, disability, or conviction for an offence for which a pardon has been granted. Bill 279 (if implemented) mandates that gender identity and gender expression be added to the list! Yikes! The bill also proposes an amendment to the Criminal Code of Canada by including gender identity and gender expression in the list of identifiable groups under provisions dealing with hate crimes. How confusing and ridiculous do they want to make this and who is dreaming this stuff up? To think of our MPs—who should be the clearest-thinking people in Canada—discussing the implementation of this nonsense! Are there not more serious issues in Canada that should be consuming their precious time? The simple solution would have been to include the so-called new genders under the heading of “sexual orientation” which was never defined when it was forced on Canada in 1995 by the Supreme Court. The correct decision of course would be to throw this bill out and introduce a bill instead for the removal of “sexual orientation” which was rejected for inclusion in the Charter by Canadians in 1981. But then again, how could such a bill pass with a majority “Conservative” government anyway? Right? I introduced you in last week’s communiqué to the parasitoid wasp whose larvae eat the host caterpillar from the inside in order to mature. As I mentioned, the caterpillar-host dies but the wasp larvae thrives. What emerges is not a beautiful butterfly but another parasitoid wasp. In political terms, the host body of the “Conservative” Party is being consumed from within. Although Canadians thought they were electing “Conservatives” what has emerged are parasitoid transpartisans. When Bill C-279 came to a second-reading vote, 15 MPs who were elected as “Conservatives” voted in favour of special rights for transsexuals and transgendered people (those who are confused about their sexual identity and those who have “crossed over,” even to the point of surgical mutilation to create the outward appearance of the opposite sex.) Well, the following 15 “Conservatives” are “transpartisans” who have not gone so far as to “cross over” (cross the floor) but who think, talk, and act like members of the opposite party. Here are the 15 transpartisan “Conservatives” who believe a man should be able to use the women’s washroom if he self-identifies as “transsexual”: Mr. Chris Alexander (Ajax-Pickering); Mr. Michael Chong (Wellington-Halton Hills); Mr. John Duncan (Vancouver Island North); Ms. Kerry-Lynne D. Findlay (Delta-Richmond East); Mr. Jim Flaherty (Whitby-Oshawa); Mrs. Shelly Glover (Saint Boniface); Mr. Laurie Hawn (Edmonton Centre); Mr. Gerald Keddy (South Shore-St. Margaret’s); Mrs. Cathy McLeod (Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo); Ms. Lisa Raitt (Halton); Ms. Michelle Rempel (Calgary Centre-North); Mr. Bruce Stanton (Simcoe North); Mr. Bernard Trottier (Etobicoke-Lakeshore); Mr. Bernard Valcourt (Madawaska-Restigouche); Mr. David Wilks (Kootenay-Columbia). Last month, these so-called conservatives all voted in favour of this “trans-sexual” bill allowing it to pass the second reading by a vote of 150 to 132. As I explained, the conservative values continue to be eaten away from the inside, leaving only the dead shell of the “Conservative” Party. Again I ask, should anyone waste his or her time and finances trying to restore this party to its original intended values? No. Yes, Canadians are becoming involved with the Christian Heritage Party of Canada because they see that the “Conservative” Party of Canada—once thought to represent conservative social and fiscal values—has passed well beyond the point where there is any hope of trying to influence it to return to its original values. Now is the time to make a fresh start, to bring back the fundamentals of law and order, freedom and equality to Canadian politics. We are a party that has anchored itself to unalterable principles to ensure that we maintain our course as we gain political recognition and power in Canada. And we will! Join us today.
