Calgary "street harassment" bylaw that criminalizes words that "could reasonably cause offence or humiliation" including a sexual advance. Applies in private businesses as well, so misgendering trannies or hitting on women in bars is potentially illegal (archive.ph)

Correctly gendering.

Let's not indulge the fantasies of freakazoids.

In a reasonable age, this would be a reasonable law, as no one would take hitting on a woman in a bar as 'reasonably' calling offense, and it would be directed against the people who (like Muslims in Europe) call women whores on the streets and talk about how they would like to rape them.

But I would not exactly trust Canadian society on this.

Another example of how fake the idea of universal law is, without a unified national culture. There are many laws like this where the definitions of terms are entirely subjective and up to a judge to determine what a "reasonable person" believes. Another example is New York's law on gender identities and pronouns, which applies to government offices and I believe schools. It doesn't define what a gender identity is, but lets courts make a determination based on what all us reasonable people naturally understand. So you can demand the city identify you as Ze/Zie/Faerself/Spivak/Otherkin because obviously those are the "real" made up identities, but you wouldn't be allowed to identify as "Apache Helicopter" because a judge would say nobody believes that's a real gender. There's nothing written in the law saying that, it's just known.

Such nonsense is more pronounced when there is no longer a standard of what's reasonable either because your society is full of non-assimilating immigrants (Muslim refugees) or is in the midst of a cultural revolution. (wokism) It's not a huge problem with homogenous nations but in divided and pluralistic nations justice no longer exists. There is only authority.

In the bylaw, to ‘harass’ is defined as: Communicating with a person in a manner that could reasonably cause offence or humiliation, including conduct, comment, or actions that refers to the person’s:

race/colour/ancestry/place of origin

religious beliefs

disability

age

marital status

source of income

family status

gender/gender identity/gender expression

sexual orientation;

and includes a sexual solicitation or advance.

The bylaw applies to any instance of harassment behaviour in a space within Calgary where the public has access. This includes businesses such as restaurants, on sidewalks, in libraries, etc. Infractions carry a fine of $500

Calgary has invented a new bylaw to fight “street harassment”. Reading it, I immediately realized that Calgary’s disgraced police force routinely violates this law in their sustained harassment and humiliation of Pastor Artur Pawlowski.

This law also protects against anti white racism and anti cis gendered persons doesn't it. I'm sure it does.

I'm sure it does on paper, but we all know how it's going to go down in practice. Selective enforcement is a given when dealing with these cretins.

Easy: They purchase foreign brides.

The tradcucks get a mating partner, the WEF/NWO/whatevers get more minority and migrant populations, the leftists get local women being isolated and uninteracted with, the foreign nation gets GDP, chances are the purchased wife would be better treated than an unwanted slave-woman in her home country, everyone wins!

Except, you know, morality and modern society. Those kind of fall apart. Almost as if that's the goal of the people making these policies and systems...
