Canada Passes Bill to Let Government Remove Kids from Christian Homes, Tim Brown,
Canada has now passed what critics have called
“totalitarian” legislation that could give more power to the state to remove
children from the homes of Christians and others who oppose the LGBT agenda. Bill 89 passed by a vote of 63 to 23
on the last day before Queen’s Park adjourns for the summer.
Lifesite News reports: Pro-family
advocates warn Bill 89 gives the state more power to seize children from
families that oppose the LGBTQI and gender ideology Pro-family
advocates warn Bill 89 gives the state more power to seize children from
families that oppose the LGBTQI and gender ideology agenda, and allows
government agencies to effectively ban couples who disagree with that agenda
from fostering or adopting children.
Bill 89,
or the Supporting Children, Youth and Families Act, 2017, repeals and replaces
the former Child and Family Services Act that governs child protection
services, and adoption and foster care services.
It adds
“gender identity” and “gender expression” as factors to be considered “in the
best interests of the child.” At the
same time, it deletes the religious faith in which the parents are raising the
child as a factor to be considered, and mandates child protection services
consider only the child’s own “creed” or “religion” when assessing the best
interests of the child.
Jack Fonseca, senior political
strategist for Campaign Life Coalition said, “With the passage of Bill 89,
we’ve entered an era of totalitarian power by the state, such as never
witnessed before in Canada’s history.” “Make no mistake, Bill 89 is a grave
threat to Christians and all people of faith who have children, or who hope to
grow their family through adoption,” Fonseca added.
“Disappointed as I am with this
result, I am not surprised,” said Tanya Granic Allen, president of Parents As
First Educators (PAFE). “The Kathleen Wynne Liberals have for years been
pursuing their anti-parent and anti-family agenda and Bill 89 is the latest
installment.”
A source told LifeSiteNews the
Conservative members were swayed in their vote by “three or four” MPPs who said
they could not in conscience vote for a bill that was “fundamentally and
morally wrong.” Mr. Fonseca praised the Progressive
Conservative MPPs for rejecting the propaganda and voting as a block against
“tyranny.”
“And thank God they did, because it
serves as a symbol of resistance,” he said. “CLC had been directly
lobbying MPPs to oppose the bill, and we believe that may have been a factor in
why the PCs ended up voting en masse against it.” Parents As First Educators and the
Association for Reformed Political Action (ARPA) also pushed against the
bill.
Lifesite continues: Bill 89 retains the provision in current law
that a child who is suffering or “at risk of suffering” mental or emotional
harm and whose parents do not provide “treatment or access to treatment” is in
need of protection under the law.
But while
the former law said the Children’s Aid Society should take the “least
disruptive course of action,” Bill 89 adds “including the provision of
prevention services, early intervention services and community support
services,” according to an ARPA analysis. “The
implication is that intervention should not be presumed to be more disruptive
than non-intervention,” the ARPA report adds.
Minister of Child and Family
Services Michael Coteau, who introduced the bill, believes that questioning
teenagers’ self-identification as LGBTQI or telling them to change as abuse.
“I would consider that a form of
abuse, when a child identifies one way and a caregiver is saying no, you need
to do this differently,” he said. “If it’s abuse, and if it’s within the
definition, a child can be removed from that environment and placed into protection
where the abuse stops.”
The problem is that t is abuse or
more rightly neglect, to allow a child to think wrong about their gender and
sexuality. Mr. Forseca said that they have
already witnessed the effects of such tyrannical acts in advancing the LGBT
agenda around the world.
“We already see similar tyranny
happening in other jurisdictions, such as Norway, where the main child
protection service there, Barnevernet, has been involved in numerous
high-profile seizures of children from traditionally-principled families,”
he said. “Even before Bill 89 was passed, but immediately after its
introduction in December, I learned of several Christian couples who were
turned down for adoption on account of their deeply held religious beliefs
about traditional marriage and human sexuality.”
“Why has the most powerful spiritual
body in this province, the Catholic hierarchy, not lifted a finger nor raised a
voice to oppose this tyranny against Christian families, and those from other
faiths?” Fonseca asked of the Roman Catholic Church. “The lack of
spiritual leadership is killing us. Every single time that Liberals, either
federally or provincially, roll out the LGBT juggernaut to take away our
rights, or to demonize us as bigots, we hear nothing but silence from the
Church. This has to stop.
I can answer that. It’s
because they are compromised. I’ve reported numerous times on the sexual
abuse cases within the RCC.
Just last month, the Vatican
basically covered up the story of a priest with HIV who raped 30 girls and confirmed
that over 2,000 sexual assault cases are in the church.
When the Church cleans house, it
will help to heal the culture, but as long as it remains corrupt it will be
useless in the fight for godliness, righteousness and the families it is
supposed to shepherd.
