    I live near this jackass and know people that have had to deal with his nonsense. He has been a school trustee and used his position of power to make anyone not identifying as cisgenderd in the district a living hell. This isn’t about free speech this is about Human Rights. The messaging from the Conservatives has been about free speech, this is a misdirect.

    How about a snapshot of the parties as well please?

    I could care less what scumbag cons do. No time at all for them. But any NDP or greens voting for it should be turfed out.

      I went through the list on the linked website. I just highlighted each name and riding, right-clicked and google searched and found out their party affiliation fairly quickly (well, doing that 37 times was a bit time consuming). No NDP or Green party members voted in favour.

    Armstrong’s bill was motivated by a recent $750,000 fine issued by the BC Human Rights Tribunal against former Chilliwack school trustee Barry Neufeld over his comments about LGBTQ people.

    This seems pretty complicated and messy, as it does seem someone is being fined 750k for their speech, which sounds like the bill being revoked is the thing removing free speech rights. Given this article lacks any detail or nuance does anyone have any real specifics?
