These are the definitions they will try to force on us: https://www.justice.gc.ca/socjs-esjp/en/dash-tab/definitions>. I am hoping that the liberals and other politician are doing all this knowing it will get challenged in court and they will lose, so then the courts will be to blame instead of the politicians, but am pretty sure that's wishful thinking.
It makes me ill to the stomach - I literally want to vomit - to think that I live in this country! The ideological capture - indeed, the ideological possession (as per Dostoevsky's Demons) - is complete and total and absolute! Gender ideology rules not just Canadian culture, but ALSO its politics and law. There's just no way around it. ... These politicians have passed legislation with only a bare minimum of an understanding of what they have done, and virtually no understanding of the profound - and profoundly disturbing - issues involved. ... I honestly fail to understand how this has happened: how is it that no one - but NO ONE - actually bothered to make a distinction between conversion therapy for sexual orientation and "conversion therapy" with respect to so-called "gender identity", a concept that - moreover - is highly contested?! ...
The speed with which these changes are taking place is also astonishing and dismaying! No one in the mainstream culture has stopped even for a second to try and think these issues through properly.
My parents and I came from a country that we normally classify as "repressive" and "authoritarian" ... but lately, we have been discussing the changes that Canada is undergoing, and more and more, every day, we do not recognize the country we fled to those many years ago. Instead, more and more, every day, we are beginning to recognize in Canada the characteristics of the country we fled from! ... In fact, in the intervening years, the country we left has become more liberal and comparatively freer, and Canada is fast becoming less and less so! ... I suppose you could call it one of those little ironies of life ... except that it's hard to see truly recognize the irony when you're despondent and in the middle of such a repressive, authoritarian culture/politics. Irony requires distance, and there can be no "distance" in a place where all - but ALL - politicians, cultural "leaders" and mainstream media are captured/gripped by a literally insane ideological programme!
This could spell doom for everyone from the religious, psychotherapy, teaching, medical and many other professions. Another blow to the Canadian health system for sure.
