The real Bob Dole

Let’s tell the whole story about what you just voted against, because your post conveniently leaves out the most important facts. You claim the government removed "Criminal Code protections on faith." Let's name the actual law you are defending: Section 319(3)(b) of the Criminal Code. > 👉 This wasn't a protection for everyday believers, rather it was a literal legal loophole that allowed individuals to defend the wilful promotion of hatred in court simply by claiming, "I was just expressing an opinion based on a religious text in good faith." In order to finally close that hate speech loophole, Parliament passed Bill C-9 (The Combatting Hate Act). This is the exact same bill that makes it a specific criminal offence to intimidate, obstruct, or harass people trying to access their synagogues, mosques, and churches. 👉 By voting NAY, you voted to preserve a legal "get out of jail free" card for hate speech, while simultaneously voting against a bill that gives law enforcement the actual tools they need to arrest people who are terrorizing religious communities. 👉 Closing a loophole for hate speech absolutely makes Canadians safer. Leaving out half the story doesn't. ***** Sources 1.

👉 That URL in the image is a scam site, not a .gc.ca government page. 👉 The real program it stole numbers from is the Study in Canada Scholarships program. It's just a 4-month exchange for international students to study here temporarily, not a free degree. (Source: educanada.ca/scholarships-b…) 👉 The government literally just extended the Canada Student Grant program for 2026, giving up to $4,200 in free, non-repayable grants to hundreds of thousands of Canadian students.

Advocated for Canada’s workers and businesses in today’s meeting with Texas Governor @GregAbbott_TX and Canadian MP @StevenBonkMP. In 2024, Texas was Canada’s second-largest export destination, and our fourth-largest trading partner overall, with $75 USD billion in trade. This included billions in Canadian natural resources and manufactured goods, including nearly $7 USD billion of oil and gas in 2024 alone. Over the past decade, Texas has brought $4.7 USD billion in capital investment to Canada, creating over 6,500 new jobs. With a CUSMA review on the horizon, discussions like this one are more important than ever. Our goal is to make Canada strong at home so we have unbreakable leverage abroad.
