Motion: Regulating the Unsolicited Distribution of Graphic Images Depicting a Fetus Calgary City Council vote to censor the images of abortion's victims by forcing them to be concealed in envelopes bearing warning labels and the name of the pro-life advocacy group, all of which will add significantly to the cost and time involved in producing these pro-life educational materials. Each breach of these arbitrary strictures carries a $1,000 fine. This Motion will curtail and suppress the capacity of pro-life groups to freely inform the public about the atrocity of abortion and motivate people of good will to put an end to the abortion holocaust. Sadly, this free-speech-stifling Motion passed by a vote of 14 to 0 on May 9, 2023. |

Censorship by-law to ban peaceful protests of Drag Queen Story Hour This was an unconstitutional City Council vote to crush the free speech rights of Calgarians to protest against transgender indoctrination events like so-called Drag Queen Story Hours, in which men dressed up as women - often in a very sexualized manner - pollute the imaginations of very young children by reciting stories of homoerotic and transsexual fetishes and delusions. This Charter-defying by-law creates an anti-free speech censorship zone of 100 meters around municipal facilities like libraries that are hosting LGBT indoctrination events, prohibiting protests by concerned citizens. With typical left-wing brutality, this cruel by-law inflicts fines of up to $10,000 and a year in jail upon those who would dare to oppose such municipally enabled LGBT brainwashing events. The tyrannical by-law passed by a vote of 10 to 5 on March 14, 2023. |
