OTTAWA - A self-described culture warrior claims the Conservative government has cut a deal with the NDP to pass a bill that would make it an offence to discriminate based on gender identity and gender expression.

"Any man could self-identify as a woman and enter any female-specific space such as a bathroom, change rooms and even showers at the local pool," said Charles McVety, president of Canada Christian College in Toronto.

The proposed bill C-389 is sponsored by NDP MP Bill Siksay.

I am so glad I am not religious. If I was I would feel so let down by big parts of the Christian Church and some of its pronouncements....

Quote"I have a 13-year-old daughter. I don't want her going in and showering with a grown man at the local pool, regardless of the man's inner feelings," McVety said. "I think most Canadians share that position. Would the prime minister want men showering with his daughter? I don't think so."

Obviously this moron does not know what is what.  And that is what the Xtain Haters always say.

This reminds me of one of the conversations I had with a collegue. Why do we give the ability to vote to people who do not bother to learn what they are voting for?
Sorry, that was my dictator alter ego speaking.
