There's no way that will withstand the court case thats coming. It was a worship service. They were singing songs, not talking about US political viewpoints. The press is making a mountain out of a molehill for the clicks but there's no way anyone needs a permit to sing songs in a church. Just yellow journalism.

To quote someone else on this: "He is not forcing the stop to alternate relationships, he is not forcing the take over of Canada. He is expressing his beliefs like the LGBT community express their beliefs during Pride Parades." Or Black Lives Matter believing stopping traffic and forcing stores to close will support their cause. Hell, we didnt even stop the pro Palestian protester who was screaming "Death to Canada!" We don't stop those people, so why should anyone think we should stop this guy?

Just because somebody says something I find disagreeable is not a justification for silencing that person. I can argue with them, I could ignore them, I can encourage people to have nothing to do with them, but I don't have a right to silence them. This is Canada, we still support free speech. Unless of course you belong to a certain minority group that would rather throw smoke bombs in churches in an act of hatred while hypocritically proclaiming that they are protesting hatred. Pretty pathetic.

I think he knows that the group thats pushing back the hardest is the LGBT community because he's not a supporter. And therefore his contrasting example is very applicable.

So you think buying a railway network is the same as buying single family houses from MILLIONS of Canadians, some of whom, like me, live in them or actually built them ourselves? Ok then, good luck with that brilliant plan. Im sure there will be no pushback on that idea.

Mastercard refused to allow people to donate to Julian Assange. Blatant political interference.

I cut up my Mastercard.

Thank you for a civilized and reasonable answer. There are some other small brained, rabid respondents here who could learn from you.

Well 'nationalizing' private property isn't exactly 'another way of doing things' it would be a complete makeover of our society's core values and very unlikely to happen with the consent of the owners of that property. So unless you're proposing forced compliance and starting a revolutionary war, how exactly would we "nationalize" trillions of dollars worth of private property?

Iran hasn't said that Jews should be wiped off the face of the earth? One quick google says otherwise: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2005/oct/27/israel.iran

Im asking legitimate questions trying to understand an international crisis. Youre making massive assumptions based on your own prejudice.
