After Barry Neufeld was fined $750,000 by the BC Human Rights Tribunal for his comments on gender identity and sexual orientation, rather than questioning the decision, the legislature in Victoria voted to affirm support for the BC Human Rights Code.
Hundreds of Canadians braved the cold on Parliament Hill to rally in support of religious freedom.
Thanks to @ARPACanada for organizing and all the members of the Conservative team who came out to stand against Bill C-9.
The government is pushing Bill C-9 through. This should alarm every Canadian who cares about democratic practice and free expression.

C-9 Update: In response to pressure, the Liberals have offered an alternative to the 'good faith religious defence.' At first, this sounds like a good thing...BUT... John Sikkema has more details.
The Neufeld decision of the BC Human Rights Tribunal, released last week, is truly terrible. Gender critical speech and criticism of SOGI123 = hate speech. This ruling means that these issues should not be debated, and attempting to debate them could lead to financial ruin.
People with Disabilities are Speaking Out On Euthanasia/MAiD
So-called “Track 2 MAiD” has transformed the experience of people with disabilities when accessing the healthcare system.
These petitioners want it reversed.
Congratulations on 25 years @cardusca!
Several ARPA staff were privileged to take part in the festivities, including the inaugural Ian Shugart Lecture with New York Times columnist Ross Douthat.
We now know that late-term abortions are happening in Canada, for no medical reason.
But that's not all.
Did you know that the Canadian government is also paying for late-term abortions in the United States?
Watch our latest undercover video from Vancouver:
When even defining “woman” as “adult female” is treated as unlawful discrimination, free expression is at risk. Ontario’s top court will hear the appeal in February, and ARPA has been granted leave to intervene. You can read our factum.

“People with disabilities are now very much afraid in many circumstances to show up in the healthcare system with regular concerns. Often MAID is suggested as a solution.
“Since the bill was brought in around Track 2 MAID…that has certainly changed people’s interactions with the healthcare system."
Nations around the world are pressing pause on gender transition for minors. Canada is falling behind the science and the ethics and the BC NDP are attempting to demonize anyone who suggests there is room for a policy debate on this important topic. #shame#LetKidsBe#bcpoli
A decade ago, MLAs voted unanimously to protect gender identity in BC's Human Rights Code.
The MLAs from OneBC & the BC Conservatives should be ashamed of themselves for how they voted last week. Kids, regardless of gender identity, deserve support and protection.
@bcndp Even countries that once led the way on youth gender transition are now hitting the brakes — because the evidence doesn’t support it. Canada shouldn’t ignore that. We need to review gender medicine and protect kids from irreversible harm. #LetKidsBe
The NDP calls it “affirming.” We call it irresponsible. Doctors should never remove healthy body parts from minors who can’t vote, drink, or fully understand lifelong consequences. Childhood should be protected, not medicalized. #LetKidsBe

What kind of society offers death to those who come seeking care?
Recent testimony before Parliament revealed that people with disabilities are being pressured toward euthanasia.
Compassion should mean support, not suicide. #MAiD#valueeverylife#carenotkill

This video from the NDP trades truth for propaganda. ARPA Canada believes every person, including our critics, is made in God's image and worthy of dignity. That's why we stand for life, freedom, and family and will continue to do so.

@bcndp The tropes that @bcndp uses are as old as the saying, "Like a bad penny."
We engage in this work because we love pre-born children. We love children who are confused about their gender. And we love the same-sex couple next door. And yes, we love the MLAs who voted to condemn us.
A man grieving his wife.
A woman too lonely to go on.
An elderly patient “consenting” by squeezing a doctor’s hand.
This is Canada’s MAiD system today.
It’s time to ask hard questions.
