The Government of Canada has recently introduced into the House of Commons Bill C-51 as part of a process to streamline the Criminal Code of Canada. The purpose of this law is to remove certain provisions that no longer have any relevance in contemporary society. The sting of this Bill is in Clause 14 that proposes to remove a general prohibition against interrupting religious services or interfering with members of the clergy.
While the Liberal Government under Prime Minister Justin Trudeau does not hide their disrespect for Christianity, the valuable contribution of the church to society in general cannot be discounted. Justin Trudeau recently said that "Christianity is the worst part of society." (http://debatepost.com/2017/03/28/trudeau-christians-are-the-worst-part-of-canadian-society/)
Even though the Canadian Charter of Rights embraces religious freedom, this government is arrogant enough to remove articles from laws that guarantee the safety of worshipers.
Does Justin Trudeau's love for Islam have anything to do with it, so openly displayed by his socks in the picture below? This provision might very well instigate unrest against worshipers of all religions, even his favored Islam. From there it can quickly spread to others sectors of communities everywhere. This provision was clearly not thought through very well!
Whatever the motivation for this move, one can only wonder what there is to gain by removing protection from worshipers in a religious service, and how society in general will be affected by it.
