WHAT IS BILL C-9?

 Bill C-9, known as the Combatting Hate Act (2025), is a Canadian government proposal to strengthen hate crime laws by amending the Criminal Code. It aims to prohibit the public display of hate or terrorist symbols, criminalize intimidation targeting specific groups, and define "hatred" legally to address rising anti-Semitic, Islamophobic, and racist acts.  <<AI Overview of BILL C-9

It all has something to do with RACISM actually. But why the word HATE? Are humans not allowed to show emotions or feelings of being angry and feeling the hate? Not because somebody hate or angry at another human doesn't mean an act of violence resulted from it. What about reporting and newscasting about certain disgusting situation you think that's hate and if you hate another human being you are liable as an offender? OMG! Then the whole world is in  peril. You want humans not to show emotions. Who would you like to evolve? THE ROBOTS? 

Hmm, there's a movie about it right? All the people in that country wore masks. I forgot the title of the movie. Wait a second have to browse and search for it. 

V for VENDETTA. Is that the movie? How'd you like everyone wear the same kind of mask? I know that's so weird. Don't let that happen.

Public display of hate is a crime? So you mean the government  wont allow public rally & protest to air their grievances? That's FASCISM. You cannot suppress people's feelings. You mean the people cannot have their opinions and ideas or they cannot disagree or have a debate? Because that would close the Parliament. Maybe they want the PARLIAMENT CLOSED? Because sometimes they have heated hated debate on things they argued for such a very long time. 7 years of arguing the same high cost of living. HUMANS show emotions of anger, hate if ever but that doesn't mean they have to kill. Terrorist symbols yeah that's not good. Intimidation is bad too. Extortion is worst and a crime. All had something to do with RACISM & BULLYING.

 How to combat RACISM is far from over because Canada is well diverse large community, a country of different migrants from different countries with varied different culture, ethnicity and heritage. It must start from the Government and its officials, its civil servants to do the right thing first and foremost that all Agency, Ministries and its workers function as the bridge to promote welcoming friendly not hostile environment. 

UPDATE NEWS: PM of Canada, Mark Carney has a plan to secure Canada's Defense with a budget of half TRILLION DOLLARS! Wow! That's amazing! Canada's Armed Forces and its Defense Ministry were neglected for more than 10 years. It is about time that they recruit new soldiers and manufacture modern tanks, amphibian boats, submarines, military helicopter, fighter jets and STEALTH. We don't want getting bullied by aggressors who are war freaks that the whole Canadian Armed Forces should be prepared & ever ready. They should also implement a Citizen Army Training in Senior High School as mandatory civic military service providing life skills for students. Nothing's wrong with that. Actually that would be helpful for kids to learn discipline and self defense.

That maybe the Canadian Government also has plan to secure and defend NORAD which half part of it is within Canadian territory.  What else? Build bunkers? The safest bunker in the world is located in Switzerland. We don't have any in Canada except that of NORAD which of course mainly belong to the USA.

Canada's Budget For Five Years : $141 BILLION DOLLARS!

 Finally the Liberal Party under PM Mark Carney together with MP Finance Minister Champagne the first Federal Budget was announced as $141 BILLION DOLLARS!  $141B FOR FIVE YEARS.

Who would oppose that? Conservative Leader under Poillievre said it's costly! Really?

That's only $28 BILLION DOLLARS PER YEAR! Canada's population is 41.27 MILLION in the year 2024 and might increase in 2026. Of course it will, duh.

Consider how large Canada and the population. How many Ministries are in need of budget funding. Let say there are  more than 12 Ministries in need of budget. You have Health Care, Environment, Defense, Education, Labor, Transportation, Employment, Indigenous Affairs & Services, Immigration, Finance, Economics, Agriculture, Housing & Family services, Science & Technology, Veterans Affairs, Rural Development,Agricultural Sector, Trade & Commerce, Emergency Management, GOVERNMENT WORKS need BUDGET, etc. 

In those MINISTRIES there are Ministers and workers working for the Government. They all need wages and salary! If they don't meet their demands, they go for STRIKE & RALLY.

That 141 BILLION DOLLARS not really enough because there are unforeseen natural disaster every year such as: wildfires, tornadoes, hurricanes, snowstorms (how high the snow would be this year?) floods, earthquakes?  Just the wildfires year after year  seemed naturally visible now in Canada don't know why and you think that $141 Billion dollars too costly? It is not enough, Mr Poillievre. You have children, don't they need some budget too for their education? What about pensions? OAS pensions are stagnant!  Are you not paid by the Government?

According to the NEWS, there will be cuts in public service. If the Conservative Party wont help the Liberals (which is in Minority leadership) then a Federal Election would be held in December and that's another budget loss. One Conservative member decided to join the Liberals which is a smart move.Who else would like to join the Liberals for extra votes? Or dissolve the Parliament because it would be redundancy once again with nothing to do but whine?

I CAN BE WHO I AM

 I don't know if its true that the Green Party of Elizabeth May was eliminated in the Debate against other Party candidates in Canada. The question is why? Why wont they allow her to join the debate? That's unfair you know. 

If you are thinking that the battle is about Conservative & Liberal Party only... then you are wrong. You need other Parties in the Parliament. Look at what happened in the US with Republican vs Democrats. 

CANADA is a country of different ethnicity. It is a country of diversity, different nationalities that hailed from different countries in the world. The first Prime Minister is not a native, not an indigenous born in Canada but a Scottish born in Scotland, Prime Minister John A. Macdonald was born in foreign land not in Canada and was the first leader who governed Canada! Unbelievable right? Actually nothing's wrong with the Scots or Scttish as they remind me of William Wallace (BRAVEHEART played by talented actor/director MEL GIBSON), Scottish reminds me of Sean Connery, the JAMES BOND and the HIGHLANDERS.

 It should be Scottish English the prime universal language in Canada but they added French as its bilingual language. Wow! Complicated. Complicated as in they pledge and had oath of allegiance to the Queen of England (Q Elizabeth II before) and then now to the King of England... the Parliamentary procedure is British then they have to honor the French language which I think honors the country of France. If Canada is a "sovereign nation" it must stand alone, therefore it is not UK, not France and absolutely not USA.

That wont happen in the Philippines. Although Philippines was once under the colony of USA, and had its Independence the form of government is based from American. I mean English language is much easier to use as medium of communication than Spanish. Its therefore a "choice." Choices are that's what it is in Philippines we have choices. It wont happen in the USA where English is their prime language of communications even if there are immigrants who speak different languages. I mean only in Canada!! where two foreign countries still dominate its country in language and form of government.

I was questioning that on my first year (1992) here in Canada. Ha? I was like... surprised. That's my first urban legend. And I first thought of Canada as ultra modern with all the urban landscaping with all the skyscrapers taller than Empire State Building but surprise of mountain high and billions of trees and lesser homes. I remember the long driving my husband and I had from Vancouver to Prince Rupert and overwhelmed of the vast wide long miles of highways and you can't see nothing but mountains and trees. Where are the people in this country? Then we stopped at Overwaitea to buy some groceries and a Filipina woman saw me and approached me and asked if I'm a Vietnamese. I said no. Then she asked me again if I'm Chinese. 

What about her? She doesn't really looked like a Filipina. She who asked me about my nationality was too dark or too black to be a Filipina. My Mother is "mestiza" so maybe that's why I have fair complexion and all my friends in Philippines have fairer complexion as if they were Chinese mestiza and Spanish. Why I looked younger than other people my age? WHOEVER I AM DOES IT MATTER?

Anyway, it was once a hair-raising moments way back then. It feels like a morbid horror story. LOL.

After the pandemic, something happened so mysteriously!
