Canada passes bill to make O Canada lyrics gender neutral

archive.fo/JOLvg

>The Senate passed a bill that renders the national anthem gender neutral Wednesday despite the entrenched opposition of some Conservative senators.

>The House of Commons overwhelmingly passed a private member's bill in 2016 that would alter the national anthem by replacing "in all thy sons command" with "in all of us command" as part of a push to strike gendered language from O Canada.

>Liberal MP Andrew Leslie was seen hanging about the foyer as senators voted — “I feel fantastic,” he declared. Liberal Sen. Jim Munson said, afterwards, “we’re on the right side of history.”

>Plett said Wednesday that a change such as altering the national anthem should be put to a referendum.

>"Clearly, I'm disappointed ... it's been a long fight, I believe the Canadian public wanted a say in our national anthem, just like they had in the great Canadian flag debate. This is an issue for the Canadian public to decide not just a couple of Independent senators."

>Conservatives boycotted a vote on Lankin's motion and thus missed the final vote on the bill, which passed on a voice vote as only Independent and Liberal senators — who were largely in favour of the change — were present in the chamber. Although, some "nays" could be heard coming from a handful of those senators.

Is this country quickly becoming Sweden 2.0?

Gee Bill, TWO Swedens?

I was thinking of moving to Montana eventually. But now I am afraid to border this fucking cesspool. I feel as though you will seep in take away my acres of land and recreational nuclear warheads.

Notice it's only the English version. The French version has completely different lyrics and is nationalist as fuck.

Good thing that witchcraft gets legalized though

If you kill Canadians, we all win.

Jesus fuck Canada. Remind me never to visit you.

Good, no it's not becoming Sweden. It's time to address this age old patriarchal issue that needs to be revised because it simply does not fit in today's world. You right wingers are just butt hurt that the country is changing before your eyes and you're holding on to the racist, patriarchal, sexist past.

How'd Tyrone's cock taste today?

>having gender pronouns is "patriarchal" and "sexist"

This is your brain on Toronto & cultural marxism.

Let me guess, the new lyrics start "O Cucknada"

>Canada is committed to ditching a policy that rejects immigrants because they're sick or disabled and could be a drag on the health system, Immigration Minister Ahmed Hussen says.

>Calling it an "important and sensitive" issue, Hussen said the government will look at all options to revamp the 40-year-old policy, which bars entry to applicants when they could be costly to public health or social service systems.

>Conservative immigration critic Michelle Rempel said a big part of the problem with the current provision is that it is unfairly and unevenly applied by immigration officers. She urged Hussen to ensure increased training and service standards to ensure officials are following the rules consistently.

>However, it is a consideration in assessing an applicant who has financial means to defray costs of medication or services that are not publicly funded, such as HIV antiretroviral therapy.

French Canadians are usually more based and nationalistic than most others. They actually have knowledge and pride in their history, want to keep their society and values, and don't encourage immigration outside of Montreal.

I might move to Quebec City soon. I visited a couple months ago and there was a woman with a demonstration against Islamization - signs saying Mohammed was a pedophile, etc. I doubt that would "be allowed in Toronto or Montreal? Groups like La Meute are growing.

Quebec will probably be one of the last bastions of actual Canadian (English/French) culture in the next decades. Outside of Montreal they aren't cucked yet, and the language barrier makes it harder for people to move in or to get as easily & quickly subverted by the latest Marxist ideas.

CSIS has confirmed at least 60 ISIS militants, who have seen combat, have returned and disappeared into the public. That said, on the ISIS fighters who return, we are going to "forgive" them, not charge them with anything they did on foreign soil and attempt to "reintegrate" them.

Nearly one million new immigrants will settle in Canada between 2018 and 2020, under what Immigration Minister Ahmed Hussen has labeled “the most ambitious immigration levels in recent Canadian history.”

The ambitious target has been set in the government’s new multi-year Immigration Levels Plan, which was tabled in the House of Commons on November 1. Economic migrants will make up the majority of new permanent residents admitted to Canada, with most economic newcomers set to immigrate through the Express Entry immigration selection system. Targets for the economic categories generally — as well as Express Entry specifically — will increase every year until 2020.

Under the plan, 310,000 new permanent residents will settle in Canada in 2018. This target will be increased to 330,000 newcomers in 2019, with a further 340,000 to settle in 2020.

>Good Christians refused the right to adopt kids by NDP communist government in Alberta


An evangelical Christian couple is accusing Alberta of discrimination, claiming their application to adopt a child was rejected over their religious views on gay marriage and homosexuality.
The Edmonton married couple say they submitted their application last year and passed a required course for potential adoptive parents.
But during a followup by officials this year, the couple say they ran into trouble when they answered questions about sexuality.

"The casework supervisor explained that our religious beliefs regarding sexuality were incompatible with the adoption process," says an affidavit filed in support of an application for a judicial review of the government's decision.
"The casework supervisor said this stance was the 'official position of the Alberta government."'

El Maati, a Toronto truck driver, was the first of three men to be arrested when he travelled to Syria in November 2001 for his wedding and was stopped at the Damascus airport. He was transferred to Egypt two months later and was jailed there for more than two years.

In 2010, El Maati told the Star he was shackled, beaten and jolted with electrical shocks on his back, legs and genitals while he was detained in Egypt.

Almalki, a Syrian-Canadian dual citizen who works as a communications engineer, was arrested in May 2002, also at the Damascus airport, and detained for 22 months.

In December 2003, Nureddin was arrested by Syrian officials as he crossed into the country from Iraq, where he was visiting family. The Toronto geologist was held for 33 days.

In March, the Liberal government announced it had reached a settlement and Public Safety Minister Ralph Goodale apologized to Almalki, El Maati and Nureddin for “any role Canadian officials may have played” in what led to their arrests and torture.

>While the government still refused to say how much it would pay each of the men on Thursday, the $31.25-million settlement was revealed in government accounting documents tabled in the House of Commons on Oct. 5 and quietly published online.

I like how we're giving the American refugees welfare.
>Quebec just cut somewhere between 4000 to 5000 welfare checks for American illegals
>amount varies based on family/conjugal
>lowest possible amount is 643

Older news, number is just getting bigger but that's more than 2 mil per month on American refugees. We're currently up to 13000+ migrants so its realistically closer to 8 million per month.

In 2016, we spent in the 4th quarter alone:

324 million on restoring and renewing international assistance
249 million on expanding immigration

This was not including:

100 million every month on syrian refugees
645 million in additional foreign aid after the 10% increase
65 million in humanitarian aid
785 million to fight Aids/Malaria/TB in africa
13 million to vietnamese farmers
15 million to job training in Africa
650 million on increasing access to abortion globally
112.8 million to haiti and french africa
12.5 million to africa for support of democracy/inclusion/gender equality
130 million to liberia/sierra leone/guinea for ebola
450 million for UN Peacekeeping (in order to attempt to grab seat)
14.25 million to Indonesia for infastructure
2.65 billion to developing nations to fight climate change
And this is all on top of the 4.9 billion we spend in foreign aid per year

Our foreign aid budget is typically 4.9 billion per year. Everything in that list was additional to the 4.9 billion budget. So in 2016, we actually spent closer to 11.355 billion on foreign aid.

Even if we assumed, that all those various numbers I listed were the "normal" foreign aid budget listed as 4.9 billion - as you suggested, they still add up to at least 6.4 billion, meaning the first year under his rein, he spent 130% of the typical 4.9 billion budget.

God forbid when I update this for 2017. Cause its gonna be higher, what with giving 800 million to the natives, putting the American illegals on welfare etc.

Don't worry, we will rake them up before it is too late

The amendment will make most Syrian refugees eligible to vote in the next federal elections in 2019. From November 2015 to January 2017, over 40k Syrian refugees have arrived in Canada. Literally importing liberal voters.

Speaking at a Panel Discussion Showcasing Best Practices for the Admission of Syrian Refugees in Geneva, Switzerland (March 2016), John Mccallum, then the Minister of Immigration, said the following: “We also had a processing machine at home where people, when they arrived, it would take one hour to become landed immigrants, permanent residents, health cards. And they will – 90 percent of them will be full citizens within four years.”

>90 percent of refugees will be full citizens within four years

Bill C-6 additionally eliminates the language and knowledge requirement for immigrants and refugees over 55. There are no requirements for children of future citizens. These people will still have Canadian citizenship and the benefits that come with it...

“It is an important topic and efforts in the past in dealing with a topic that has the potential to, in some places, be controversial has ended up foundering,” he said.

>Data released on Friday showed urban construction starts for multiple-unit buildings, typically condos, surged 16.9 percent in November to 175,016 units, a record high even after a decades-long boom.

>According to market research firm Urbanation, about 60 percent of units under development in Toronto are studios or one-bedrooms, a complete reversal of the trend before 1990, when nearly 70 percent of units had two or three bedrooms.

>Condo prices rose 21.6 percent in November from a year earlier in the Toronto region, according to the Toronto Real Estate Board’s Home Price Index, far outstripping the 4 percent rise in detached home prices.

Good. It's current year you backwards savages.

>B.C. is ending the grizzly bear hunt throughout the entire province.

>Forests Minister Doug Donaldson said the decision came about during the ministry's consultation process on implementing the end of the trophy hunt, first announced in August.

>"It's mostly a social values issue," Donaldson said. "When it comes down to it, this species is seen as an iconic species for B.C., and people just weren't willing to accept the hunting of grizzly bears anymore in this province."

>In August 2017 the province announced it would end the trophy hunting of grizzly bears and stop all hunting of grizzly bears in the Great Bear Rainforest.

>Donaldson said there will be further discussions with guide outfitters in the province about how the government can support the transition away from grizzly hunting. Outfitters in B.C. charge upward of $17,000 for a guided grizzly hunting tour.

>First Nations still will be able to harvest grizzly bears in accordance with Aboriginal rights for food, social, or ceremonial purposes, or treaty rights.

>The report said Mr. Trudeau violated four sections of the Conflict of Interest Act regarding two of the family trips last year to Bells Cay. The private island is owned by the Aga Khan, the billionaire spiritual leader of the world's Ismaili Muslims, whose organizations deal frequently with the federal government.

>Only the two trips in 2016 were found to have violated ethics rules, given that Mr. Trudeau's Liberals were not in government in 2014. Still, Ms. Dawson made it clear there was no justification for failing to consult her about accepting free return flights to the island on a private helicopter.

>Mr. Trudeau had maintained he broke no rules because public office holders are allowed to accept gifts from friends. But Ms. Dawson concluded the two men were not friends under the Conflict of Interest Act, having spoken only once in the 30 years before Mr. Trudeau became Liberal Leader.

>The Aga Khan is the founder of the Aga Khan Foundation Canada, which was registered to lobby the federal government at the time of the vacations. Discussions were also under way over a $15-million federal grant to the endowment fund of the Global Centre for Pluralism, also founded by the Aga Khan.

>"Because there was ongoing official business between the Government of Canada and the Aga Khan at the time each invitation was accepted, Mr. Trudeau, as Prime Minister, was in a position to be able to advance some of the matters of interest to the Aga Khan," Ms. Dawson said.

>Ms. Dawson said that a guidance document the Prime Minister sent to ministers in 2015 stated they could not accept free trips without approval from the Ethics Commissioner.

>"In this case, the Prime Minister did not follow his own rule," she said.

>Prosecutions for nondisclosure of HIV appear to be "disproportionate and discriminatory" given the relatively high number, according to the study.

>"Our government is taking action to help reduce the stigmatization of persons living with HIV, including undertaking an evidence-based approach to addressing HIV non-disclosure in the criminal justice system," she said in a statement.

>Other advocates say guidelines are not enough, insisting the criminal law should never apply to people with HIV.

There's a reason it was never translated in school.

This is needed for progress. The only people who object are special snowflake men who want their gender elevated above everyone else. This is equality and the future.

There is tons of this shit.

Get out while you can leaf.

Your anthem should be God save the Queen. You belong to the Queen, period.

>More than two decades after apartheid ended, South Africa is still consumed by fierce debate over how to eradicate the legacy of white minority rule.

>But its struggle offers valuable lessons for Canada's own battle to liberate itself from colonial laws, Justice Minister Jody Wilson-Raybould says.

>The minister, who finished a week-long visit to South Africa on the weekend, is leading a working group of federal ministers to decolonize Canada's laws and policies on Indigenous people.

>And she says the postapartheid journey in South Africa offers "many important insights" and "parallels" for Canada to study.

Quebec city area was a conservative stronghold under Harper. I live in NB though, Acadian society is almost organized like a tribe. Guys are masculine as fuck. They only vote liberal because of unemployment insurance.

I've never been so ashamed to be a Canadian.

Fuck my country, fuck what the world is turning into.

Time for sudoku by maple syrup and milk bags.

You poor leafs are totally cucked. You guys need a Leaf Trump.

The commenters on French media, even leftist ones, are shocked. Not only by the fact you butchered something that shouldn't be touched, but also by the stupid reasons. How can you fall that low seriously, what happened?

Ignore the trolls. This is annoying the hell out of canadians. Trudeau is not loved by the country. And i dont mean like in a "the msm says hes hated" i actually mean the people seriously think he is retarded.

Trudeau is an idiot to choose Freeland to negotiate
Wonder who the Beaners have
