Christine Van Geyn: Changes to Bill C-9 aren’t combating hate — they’re criminalizing faith The Bible is the most banned book in history, precisely because it is powerful and points to an authority beyond the reach of government To secure Bloc Québécois support for its censorious Bill C-9, the Liberals have reportedly agreed to a troubling trade: removing the long-standing religious defence from Canada’s hate-speech laws. This would be a mistake.

Consultations on controversial Quebec constitution bill begin today A draft constitution tabled two months ago by the Quebec government was supposed to be a unifying declaration of Quebecers’ common values, but it has instead been denounced as ill-conceived, divisive and authoritarian.

Some civil society groups are calling for it to be withdrawn outright.
