Dear Editor:
RE: 2SLGBTQIA+ hate on rise in UGDSB, June 22, 2023.
This short, provocative and sensational article was, unfortunately, lacking in essential details.
For example, it did not describe or define “hate” and “intolerant and hateful acts.” My concern is that I have read in the media and witnessed that some parents, Muslims, Christians and scientists are being labeled as “intolerant” or “hateful” if they merely express an opinion/belief system different from the 2SLGBTQIA+.
The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms states that “Canada is founded upon principles that recognize the supremacy of God and the rule of law.”
On July 1, 1960 Canadian Prime Minister John Diefenbaker signed this Bill C-44, and wrote: “I am a Canadian, a free Canadian, free to speak without fear, free to worship God in my own way, free to stand for what I think right, free to oppose what I believe wrong…”
