    本文发表在 rolia.net 枫下论坛Please Say NO to Motion 103, a Death Blow to Free Speech

    Dear Members of Parliament,

    I am a Canadian citizen. I have learned that the Members of Parliament will soon debate Motion 103, brought up by MP Iqra Khalid.

    I am deeply concerned by Motion 103, as I do not think it is right, and I am writing to request that:
    - MP Iqra Khalid to withdraw the Motion; or
    - The Members of Parliament to reject the Motion;

    According to Motion 103, the government is requested to:
    (a) recognize the need to quell the increasing public climate of hate and fear;
    (b) condemn Islamophobia and all forms of systemic racism and religious discrimination and take note of House of Commons’ petition e-411 and the issues raised by it; and
    (c) request that the Standing Committee on Canadian Heritage undertake a study on how the government could
    (i) develop a whole-of-government approach to reducing or eliminating systemic racism and religious discrimination including Islamophobia...
    (ii) collect data to contextualize hate crime reports and to conduct needs assessments for impacted communities, and present its findings and recommendation within 240 calendar days...

    Here I would like to share with you my thoughts on Motion 103.

    1. Motion 103 is legally unnecessary, and is a waste of tax-payer's money, in that:
    - "freedom of conscience and religion", and "freedom of association" are the fundamental rights of every Canadian, according to the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms;
    - "Every individual", regardless of religion, "has the right to the equal protection and equal benefit of the law", as stated by the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms;
    - Hate crime is already written in the Criminal Code of Canada;

    As a result, any systematic racism, religious discrimination and hate crime against Islam, just as against any other religion, are already pronounced illegal, and will be punished according to the law. There is no reason to single out Islam as a religion, and to be given preferences over other religions.

    2. Motion 103 is based on vaguely defined terms:
    - The term "hate" (in "public climate of hate"), and the term "Islamophobia" do not have clear and strict definitions, thus are prone to be interpreted arbitrarily;

    When a bill is based on ambiguous terms, it is destined to be misused.

    3. Motion 103 may be based on unfounded assumptions:
    - Given that the Motion emphasised twice the term 'Islamophobia' ('the hate to Islam', per my wildest guess), but not any 'hate' to other religion, it is likely that the proposer of the Motion believes that Islam is the largest victim of hate crime. Is there any sufficient evidence proving that?

    According to Statistics Canada, in 2013 there were 326 police-reported hate crimes motivated by hatred of a religion or religious group. The hate-motivated crimes targeting the Muslim religion reported by police in 2013 is not of the biggest number, comparing to hate crimes targeting other religions.

    4. Motion 103 is a threat to fundamental human rights and freedoms of Canadians, in that:
    - "freedom of thought, belief, opinion and expression, including freedom of the press and other media of communication" are the fundamental freedoms of Canadians, as stated in the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms;
    - The quoted needs to 'quell the increasing public climate of hate and fear', and to 'condemn Islamophobia...', coupled with the ambiguous terms of 'hate' and 'Islamophobia', will become a perfect formula to suppress the "freedom of thought, belief, opinion and expression", and to exert excessive censorship to the news and media;

    And to be honest, the very thought of my government to 'quell' my feelings of 'hate and fear' just sends a tingling sensation up my spine. As a human being, I have my rights to my own feelings, be it happiness, love, hate, and fear. The idea of the government manipulating my feelings, and suppressing the expression of my feelings just reminds me of fascism and communism, not a democratic Canada as a beacon of freedom and liberty respected by the whole world.

    I think people should learn from history: Hitler first managed to deprive the people of basic civil rights, including freedom of the press, freedom of speech. That is how The Nazi Terror Begins. No matter how lofty and how innocent the motives might be, the infringement of civil liberties and freedoms will render detrimental, if not disastrous consequences in the end.

    I firmly believe that, as a democratic government, the Government of Canada must encourage the solidarity and safety for all its citizens, but not to legislate them at the expense of freedom of speech and freedom of the press.

    I am sure that you have heard the outcries of concerns from many Canadians, in light of the Motion 103, for good reasons.

    As some of my fellow Canadians put it, there is no greater recipe for the ultimate destruction of Canada and its’ culture than Motion 103. Naturally there are those who seek to limit the ability of people of different opinions to speak out. Once you cannot speak out, your voice is gone. Anything you say can and will be held against you. Fear will overtake you as you realize your ability to defend the freedom of yourself, your family, your neighborhood, your town, and your country, is gone. Once it is gone it is very hard to get back, historically it involves significant amounts of fighting and blood to regain it.

    With great power comes great responsibility. As selected by the people to serve the people, my dear Members of Parliament, please listen to the people, and act with foresight, instead of short-sightedness. If you want to keep freedom as a treasure to pass on to your children and grandchildren, so that they will not have to take up arms later, you only have to say NO to this Motion, and any other efforts that will take away the people's freedom!

    Thank you for reading!

      本文发表在 rolia.net 枫下论坛M-103 is an affront to free speech
      To Your MP
      (cc: The Honourable Conservative Party Leader Rona Ambrose and New Democratic Party Leader Tom Mulcair)

      I am writing you to express my deep misgivings and opposition to Motion M-103, titled "Systemic racism and religious discrimination."

      This motion will encourage legislation that would criminalize speech deemed "islamophobic" and lay the groundwork for imposing what is essentially a Sharia anti-blasphemy law on all of Canada.

      This motion uses the term "islamophobia" without defining it, and without substantiating that there is in fact any such widespread problem in Canada.

      This will lead to ideologically-driven overreach and enforcement against alternative points of view—including mature, reasoned criticisms of Islam.

      That kind of content-based, viewpoint-discriminatory censorship is unacceptable in a Western liberal democracy.

      Furthermore, Motion M-103 addresses a particular religion to the government's special consideration, while ignoring hostility toward other faiths, such as Christianity or Judaism.

      Passing this resolution would demonstrate a clear and impermissible governmental preference for Islam over other faiths.

      For all these reasons, I strongly urge that you oppose Motion M-103.

      Sincerely,
      [Your Name]

      Thank you for your email and inquiry. I think that freedom of speech is extremely important, though I previously stated very clearly that the actions of a few should not tarnish whole communities in Canada. Sharia Law has not, is not, and will never be compatible with our common law system in place in Canada.

      Laws against hate crimes are already in place in Canada and so there is no need for further legislation. That being said, I do believe that all religions deserve our respect as freedom of religion is guaranteed by the Charter of Rights (alongside freedom of speech and others).

    • Done! 我们已经有了人权法案，人权面前人人平等! 让我们一起来对这种挂羊头卖狗肉，打着人权反人权的提案，大声说NO! 对阴谋把一个种族的人权，凌驾于全体公民人权之上的野心，大声说NO! 平等人权和言论自由，不容任何别有用心的人玷污! -followher2(安知鱼); 2017-2-13 (#10608645@0) +9
      • 说得好！绝对不能允许出现一个特权阶层，还是将要被法律认可的！ -rensheng(rs); 2017-2-13 (#10608656@0) +2
    • 这个不错。支持一下。 -minbin(光辉岁月); 2017-2-13 (#10608664@0) +1
    • 我用gmail发的，吧330个MP的地址方才抄送栏一起发，好像没问题。谢谢楼主 -benbenli(大岭); 2017-2-13 (#10608962@0) +1
    • 支持。文章写得也好。多谢你的努力和提醒。 -winterstorm(打酱油的); 2017-2-13 (#10609038@0)
    • MP给我回复的email如下，供大家参考，不知哪个是真的了。希望MP讲的是真的，如果M103 不可能成为law 也没有法律效力也不违背free speech，只是investigation，似乎不用担心，但情愿书所说的也有道理。MP们应该不那么糊涂吧 -gumi(gumi); 2017-2-14 {1318} (#10609174@0) +1
      The House of Commons passed a motion (M-103) which isn’t a law. The full and complete text is below. Motions, as I am sure you know, are not laws. They don’t become laws. They are simply the House of Commons expressing an opinion on something. They have no force in law, and they are only voted on once in the House (unlike laws, which are voted on 3 times in the House of Commons, have committee debate, and then proceed to the Senate for 3 votes and committee debate as well). The police do not enforce motions, and they have no legal power. The motion is asking the House of Commons committee on Canadian Heritage to undertake a study. There is nothing in M-103 that speaks about free speech (see the full text below). In Canada, there are very few limits on free speech. For example, there are limits on hate speech – and there are limits such as not being able to yell “fire” in a crowded theatre. Also, even if there were, it would not have any legal effect. Motions aren’t laws. The writer of this email is deliberately misleading the readers. Free speech isn’t being walked-back, ended, or rescinded. There is nothing in the motion that would allow for persecution under the law. I hope this clears up any confusion and thanks for reaching out. Wayne Long MP Saint John-Rothesay
      • 他说M103已经通过了“The House of Commons passed a motion“，为何Feb16还要debate? -gumi(gumi); 2017-2-14 (#10609182@0)
        • 他这句isn’t a law就是废话，如果是law了我们写信给他还有啥用？他还隐藏了一个词吧？isn’t a law, for now。他敢说will never be a law 吗？这种无理取闹的motion本来就不应该通过。 -xiaoxiaoai(小小艾); 2017-2-14 (#10609225@0)
          • 我觉得他自己在misleading，明明要dabate要vote他却说passed了。他一再强调不是law, -gumi(gumi); 2017-2-14 {187} (#10609405@0)
            没有法律效力，不会成为law大家就不会去反对了。他说“The writer of this email is deliberately misleading the readers. ” 别有用心。看来他是要支持M103 的。MP也分2派，双方都想用自己的方式获胜
            • 同意！ -xiaoxiaoai(小小艾); 2017-2-14 (#10609422@0)
    • 一个mp回的：... I think that freedom of speech is extremely important, -xiaoxiaoai(小小艾); 2017-2-14 {495} (#10609344@0)
      though I previously stated very clearly that the actions of a few should not tarnish whole communities in Canada. Sharia Law has not, is not, and will never be compatible with our common law system in place in Canada. Laws against hate crimes are already in place in Canada and so there is no need for further legislation. That being said, I do believe that all religions deserve our respect as freedom of religion is guaranteed by the Charter of Rights (alongside freedom of speech and others).
      • 收到议员的回复邮件我建议还是要再简短回复并感谢一下，要不他们会觉得我们只是群发邮件的机器，没有诚意。我是这样回的:Dear Deepak, -xiaoxiaoai(小小艾); 2017-2-14 {472} (#10609370@0) +1
        thank you so much for your time and your prompt reply! I absolutely agree with you, "Laws against hate crimes are already in place in Canada and so there is no need for further legislation". Thanks again for helping us to guard the "freedom of thought, belief, opinion and expression, including freedom of the press and other media of communication" which is the fundamental freedoms of Canadians, as stated in the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Yours sincerely,
        • Great job! -gumi(gumi); 2017-2-14 (#10609384@0) +2
        • 辛苦了 -firetrain(火车头); 2017-2-14 (#10609472@0)
        • 是的，一个议员能逐个回信，应该感谢。我回信客气了两句： -alaabracadabra(AlaAbracadabra); 2017-2-14 {189} (#10609529@0)
          Dear Mr. xxx,

          Thank you for your reply! You have reaffirmed my faith in our government upholding the freedom of speech, just as upholding the freedom of all religions.

          Thank you!
          Xxx
    • 我也发了封给我区的MP，但没有CC给别人，会不会效果不佳了？ -coffeehouses(咖啡); 2017-2-14 (#10609655@0)
