ICYMI: Daniel Zekveld: 10 years on, Canada’s MAID program has become a cautionary tale

[Reformed Perspective @Reformed_P_F]

This past May, seven people went to Ottawa to make their voices heard as they expressed concerns over Canada's conversion therapy law.

Almost half of Canadians have the opportunity to vote in municipal and school board elections. Here's why those levels of government are important: https://t.co/QxcstKdQd2

Will the BC Conservative leadership candidates take a page out of their Albertan counterparts' playbook to restrict euthanasia and medical gender transitioning for minors? @PeterMilobar @iainblackbc @NVanCaroline @KerryLynneFindl @yuri_fulmer @WarrenHamm

@sarkonakj @jonkay @usask Well, just look at what British Columbia is planning to do with parentage in family law. Does "sperm donation by sexual intercourse" sound much better? https://t.co/qeVUIKimGV

[Reformed Perspective @Reformed_P_F]

With the introduction of Bill 18, Alberta becomes the first Canadian jurisdiction to formally put forward restrictions on euthanasia. This bill includes 6 major restrictions, with more included in the proposed legislation.

[Levi Minderhoud @LeviMinderhoud]

One provincial government at least is willing to implement some safeguards against euthanasia. Hoping that more will follow.

[Danielle Smith @ABDanielleSmith]

Our government has just introduced the 'Safeguards for Last Resort Termination of Life Act' to make it clear MAID cannot be provided where mental illness is the sole underlying condition. Our goal is to strengthen protections for vulnerable Albertans and ensure MAID is not used when other care and treatment options are available.

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.

[Levi Minderhoud @LeviMinderhoud]

@RobShaw_BC I appreciate the gesture, but delaying the operations of the entire legislative branch when so much action is desperately needed is concerning.

[Levi Minderhoud @LeviMinderhoud]

Families are the foundational group unit of society. But what is a family? For most of human history, the answer was clear: a husband, a wife, and their children. But British Columbia has plans to (further) change that...

[Brad Wilcox @BradWilcoxIFS]

The push for publicly funded childcare in Canada has been marked by 2 big mistakes:

1) Child care "is seen [primarily] as economic policy—to keep parents of the youngest children" working, which has diminished attention to the quality of care.

2) Child care is defined "very narrowly as licensed care provided by professionals", which excludes parents/family caring for kids at home.

In 2018 the Supreme Court of Canada upheld a decision to not allow a private university, Trinity Western, to establish a law school because the school had a code of conduct that required students to uphold a conduct code in line with Christian beliefs.

The SCC acknowledged that the law societies were violating religious freedom but allowed this decision to stand anyways. So no, I don't trust our courts to actually protect freedom of religion which is why I find this legislation so disturbing.

[Levi Minderhoud @LeviMinderhoud]

"Most religious sermons, texts, and teachings do not and cannot meet this standard [of hate speech]." Most isn't good enough, @SeanFraserMP.

[Sean Fraser @SeanFraserMP]

Freedom of religion is already fully and robustly protected under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

Please see my statement:

@irbrodie Well, none of the MPs did. But one Conservative Senator has introduced a bill in the Senate: https://t.co/HW8LfvBYPm

[Cosmin Dzsurdzsa @cosminDZS]

EXCLUSIVE: One BC MLAs will table a comprehensive bill today in the B.C. legislature that tackles gender ideology in schools and government funding.

The bill prohibits taxpayer funds from supporting or promoting child gender transitions.

[ARPA Canada @ARPACanada]

Today @One_BCHQ introduced a bill to ban medical transitioning for minors. It's great to know that it should receive the full support of @JohnRustad4BC and the @BCConservCaucus. Praying all MLAs will support this bill! #letkidsbe #bcpoli

[ARPA Canada @ARPACanada]

Today, the BC legislature debated a motion condemning our organization’s positions on medical gender transitioning, homosexuality, and abortion. Read our statement. https://t.co/OGAoHYcGWb @MikeSmythNews @DouglasTodd @RobShaw_BC @richardzussman

British Columbia recently announced that it will allow all children to have up to four parents, define parentage based on “intent” rather than biology, permit “sperm donation through sexual intercourse,” and expunge all gendered language from the law.

Banning prayer in public places throws out the entire notion that freedom of religion is a fundamental freedom in Canada. But Quebec has been purging religion from the public sphere for years already.
