Implications of Bill C16
With Bill C-16 passed could I be charged with some sort of hate crime for voicing my opinion on transgerders being mentally ill?
Bell's Let's Talk annual campaign is just around the corner. This campaign is all about ending the silence around mental illness.
I had planned to spend most of the day on twitter tweeting about transgenderism as a mental illness to their hashtag. Could I be charged with some sort of defamation hate crime for claiming all transgendered people are mentally ill now that bill C16 has made them a protected class under our human rights act?
Obviously I would be using a troll twitter account with none of my real info, but that doesn't appear to help as we have seen with the case of that Jew getting a seizure from a tweet which resulted in Twitter providing the name of the user @jew_goldstein or whatever it was.
Also does anyone else think this a good opportunity to get this kind of conversation going on twitter? Or would it be waste of time in the sense that its already easy to get these conversations started on twitter and there might be better hashtags to target?
Maybe anons from other countries want to take the lead on this?
