Trump announced this morning (via Kellyanne Conway) they will not pursue additional charges against HRC. Not sure if this is a major flip flop... or a move to stop her from being pardoned.

No way! A salesman lied to get people to buy his shit? Say it ain't so...

I think it just adds gender identity and expression. as another offense to producing/promoting hate propaganda and for sentencing offenders of such a crime.

 

Updates to the Criminal Code

If the legislation is passed, the Criminal Code will be updated in two ways:

1. Hate propaganda against an “identifiable group” is illegal in Canada. Identifiable groups are defined as sections of the public distinguished by:

  • Colour;
  • Race;
  • Religion
  • National or ethnic origin;
  • Age
  • Sex;
  • Sexual orientation; and
  • Mental or physical disability

The proposed legislation would add gender identity and expression to the list.

This means that it would be illegal to produce propaganda that promotes violence or hatred against persons based on their gender identity or gender expression.      

 

2. When sentencing someone for having committed an offence, Canadian judges must consider aggravating circumstances, including if the offence was motivated by bias, prejudice, or hate based on:

  • Colour;
  • Race;
  • Religion
  • National or ethnic origin;
  • Age
  • Sex;
  • Sexual orientation;
  • Mental or physical disability; or
  • Any other similar factor

The proposed legislation would add gender identity and expression to the list.

This means that sentences for certain offences could be more severe, if they were motivated by bias, prejudice or hate based on the victim’s gender identity or gender expression.

I think more of a guide line for who is included in a hate crime and sentencing for those convicted. Before this sexual orientation was almost exclusively being gay.
