The Liberals passed their 'Combating Hate Act' while you were asleep
On Wednesday night, the Liberal Party passed Bill C-9, further eroding the free expression of Canadians
Authoritarians always claim to be “protecting” you while removing your rights and freedoms. Thanks to easily propagandized Canadians, afflicted with brain-melting Trump Derangement Syndrome, the Liberal Party—in power yet again, despite spending the past decade destroying Canada—has passed Bill C-9, the Combating Hate Act.
Now, you will be protected from saying anything the Liberal Party deems “hate.”
Bill C-9 is a Canadian federal law amending the Criminal Code to “strengthen protections against hate crimes and hate propaganda.” Mark Carney, Canada’s robot dictator, claims the "Combating Hate Act" is aimed at "protecting communities."
For those less well-versed in authoritarian speak, this means that the government decides who is “vulnerable” based on their chosen ideologies, then doesn’t allow people to criticize or speak truthfully about those ideologies.
Some of you may recall that I was one of the only people in Canada to speak out against, then testify against, Bill C-16—Canada’s gender identity legislation. Bill C-16 amended the Canadian Human Rights Act and the Criminal Code to add gender expression and gender identity to the list of prohibited grounds of discrimination. The bill was passed and became law in 2017, despite my warnings, and ever since I have been accused of violating the human rights code by calling men who identify as women “men” and by criticizing the concept of gender identity ideology itself.
So far, the result has only been things like social media bans and constant no-platforming. Every time (no exaggeration) I have had a planned talk or panel discussing transgenderism in Canada, we have lost the venue, as they are threatened with violating hate speech laws and the human rights code by hosting me. To date, no one has been able to actually criminalize me, because I still had some free speech protections in Canada. Those rights have now been further eroded.
Conservative MP Roman Baber explains that, on top of all this, the Liberals rammed through Bill C-22, which will “require telecoms and internet companies to seize all Canadian metadata, including their geographic location and who they called or texted in the last year, without committing an offense and without a search warrant.” It will also require internet companies to break encryption. So, Canadians have no privacy, and your speech can be deemed “hate,” and criminalized on that basis.
In its submission to the Standing Committee on Justice and Human Rights, the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms (JCCF) writes:
“Bill C-9 attempts to define ‘hatred’ by excluding expression that solely ‘discredits, humiliates, hurts or offends,’ and by asserting that ‘hatred’ means ‘the emotion that involves detestation or vilification and that is stronger than disdain or dislike.’ As is the case with ‘hate,’ there is no clear, objective or identifiable standard of what does – and does not – constitute ‘detestation’ or ‘vilification.’”
Criminalizing “hatred” is a nonsense concept. As the JCCF explains:
“Hate is an emotion. Regardless of how courts or legislatures may seek to define it, the determination of what is ‘hateful’ will always depend ultimately on the personal feelings and subjective prejudices of the police, prosecutors and judges who see or hear the expression in question.”
Bill C-9 received Royal Assent on Wednesday night, while Canadians were literally and figuratively asleep, and its provisions are set to come into force on July 18, 2026. Stay tuned for the barrage of human rights complaints submitted by lunatic trans activists, dragging those of us who refuse to toe the line on gender identity nonsense through human rights tribunals, fined and possibly charged with “hate crimes.”
I have warned Canadians about this bill and other versions like it, presented by the Liberal Party, for years. In April, I wrote about Barry Neufeld’s case for Spiked. Neufeld was a former school trustee who was taken to the BC Human Rights Tribunal (BCHRT) after criticizing the SOGI (Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity) 123 school curriculum. SOGI teaches students from kindergarten and above, that ‘everyone has a gender identity’. After years of hearings, and tens of thousands of dollars in legal fees, Neufeld was found guilty of hate speech and was ordered to pay $750,000 in damages for “injury to dignity, feelings and self-respect” to an anonymous group of “LGBTQ teachers.” In its judgement, the tribunal states:
“Transpeople are, by definition, people ‘whose gender identity does not align with the sex assigned to them at birth.’ If a person elects not to ‘believe’ that gender identity is separate from sex assigned at birth, then they do not ‘believe’ in transpeople.
‘This is a form of existential denial.’”
I have said many times over that there is no such thing as a “trans person.”
What I mean by this is not that people who identify as “trans” do not exist, but rather that it is not possible to change sex, to be “born in the wrong body,” or to not have a sex at all. According to the BCHRT, I am guilty, then, of “hate speech,” because I am “denying the existence of trans people.”
Already, I have received an email copy of a complaint filed against me with the BCHRT by a man named Jonathan / Jessica Yaniv, explaining:
“The respondent’s deliberate use of my deadname, followed by public mocking after being placed on notice, caused significant harm to my dignity, identity and sense of personal security. Being publicly misidentified in this way is deeply dehumanising and communicates that my identity as a woman is not valid or worthy of respect.”
Yaniv is of course the man made famous after filing complaints against 16 estheticians after they declined to wax his “female” balls in 2018. After referring to him as “him,” I was permanently banned from Twitter. (Restored by Elon Musk after he bought the platform, thanks to my lovely friend Joe Rogan.
The Canadian Constitution Foundation explains that Bill C-9 “Creates a new standalone hate offence. Even minor regulatory breaches could be turned into serious crimes if labelled ‘motivated by hatred.’” The law, they say, “will chill debate, silence dissent, limit discussion on controversial moral questions, and erode one of the most fundamental freedoms in our democracy.”
The law doesn’t protect Canadians from anything. What it does do is give the government the power to criminally prosecute Canadians for their opinions.
Canadians have voted themselves into authoritarianism.

The Official Party Lies are now fully embedded in the Criminal Code. This is how a once-great but now demoralized nation has committed suicide.
Meghan, my girl, I somehow missed that you had been on Rogan, twice! I am now listening to #1699. Loving the Moonshine intro...
