Fascism, eh? Ontario pol proposes 'protecting 2SLGBTQI+ communities' with harsh anti-free-speech law

No matter how insanely stupid things get in this country — and they’ve gotten extremely insanely stupid — try to take at least a small amount of comfort in knowing that we’re not as bad as Canada. Not yet, anyway.

Take a look at what our neighbors to the north are up to at the moment. Say hello to Kristyn Wong-Tam, member of the Ontario New Democratic Party:

Yesterday my colleagues @JILLSLASTWORD, @kernaghant, @LiseVaugeois, and I tabled the Protecting 2SLGBTQI+ Communities Act. Joined by @ItsScarlettBobo, and @CrystalQuartz86 and community advocates like @friendsofrubyca & @ChurchWellesley. https://t.co/SlnRWKNSNI #onpoli #TorCen pic.twitter.com/fmoX18BIec

Drag artists and 2SLGBTQI+ Communities are seeing rising hate. It is not enough for politicians to say we're sorry this keeps happening. Our communities need leadership and new LEGISLATION. That's why @maritstiles and @OntarioNDP support action TODAY. https://t.co/tKFqsFSqbV pic.twitter.com/IDkaZxbZlu

Threats against drag artists specifically are hurting small businesses, workers, and young 2SLGBTQI+ people who deserve to see their culture and identity celebrated. @maritstiles would keep our communities safe. Will @fordnation? pic.twitter.com/ZgjCIZOUlV

It’s even weirder to actually listen to this stuff:

Canadian politician Kristyn Wong-Tam, who uses the pseudo-pronouns "they/them," proposes legislation to criminalize "offensive remarks" within 100 meters of a Drag Queen Story Hour.

They want to eliminate free speech and turn normal people into criminals.pic.twitter.com/egqEnXmYe5

Even supporters of the trans community (or supporters of entire the 2SLGBTQI+ community, whatever that entails) should be at best very uncomfortable with such laws even being proposed. If history has taught us one thing, it’s that policies restricting one group’s speech will snowball down the slippery slope and gather up a lot more groups before it gets to the bottom.

Very dangerous path.

Dangerous and dangerously crazy.

Put a bunch of crazy people in your government and you get crazy laws.

Is this motley crew really looking out for the people of Canada?

Yeah. Meanwhile:

As @ItsScarlettBobo said: "We will not let fear win. A world without Trans people has never existed. A world without drag has never existed. And it never will." 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 ⁠Show you agree by signing the petition for Ontario to act 📢📢https://t.co/SlnRWKNSNI pic.twitter.com/jTbBSz3gPs

Or as @CrystalQuartz86 says: "Drag allows me to create safe and inclusive spaces simply by being my joyful and loving self ⁠— and creating these environments allows others to feel the freedom to be themselves." It's time to PROTECT these safe spaces. ➡ https://t.co/SlnRWKNSNI pic.twitter.com/pFqNV5XTvR

"Drag Shows make a difference. They show that joyful life is possible for trans people. They give parents an opening to talk to their kids about gender. We need to protect these shows so it’s safe for kids to attend."

Sorry, but that’s not how this works. That’s not how any of this works.

Based on appearance alone, it’s understandable if you’re not inclined to take these people seriously. But they’re not joking around. They really want to criminalize speech. Criminalize opinion. Don’t subscribe to the tenets of woke orthodoxy, like that drag isn’t just appropriate for children but good for them? Or that ideology that is not explicitly pro-trans is harmful and dangerous? You’d better be prepared to pay — quite literally — for your wrongthink.

An actual example of fascism

The leftists love fascism as long as it’s on their side

A nonbinary, a wizard, a witch, two drag queens, two maskers, an AWFL, a child, a disabled minority, and a cis white male just introduced legislation to make "offensive remarks" near drag shows a violation of Canadian law.

They're using diversity as a mask for tyranny. pic.twitter.com/4a9oe7W261

— Christopher F. Rufo ⚔️ (@realchrisrufo) April 5, 2023

That’s exactly what they’re doing.

Feels like a dystopian movie in the 10 years before part

Sad but true

We genuinely hate to see something like this.

Just FYI Canada: that’s not a compliment.
