Stephen Boissoin was hauled before Alberta's human rights commission over a complaint from a teacher with a Messianic complex. This teacher accused Mr. Boissoin of discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation over a letter criticising homosexuality that was published in the Red Deer Advocate.
The human rights commission found Mr. Boissoin guilty of discrimination and hate. The adjudicator has banned Mr. Boissoin from preaching the Gospel This militantly state-ist ruling is one of the most aggressive attempts yet in Canada to stamp out public Christianity.
Alberta's provincial government intervened in the case on the side of the commission and the complainant, against Mr. Boissoin.
The "human rights" commissioner also ordered Mr. Boissoin to issue a - false, if necessary - apology for his written comments. He was also ordered to pay money to the complainant for hurt feelings even though the complainant was supposedly fighting on behalf of homosexuals, not for himself.
Stephen Boissoin fears God and has refused to comply with this "human rights" decision. Instead, he has appealed the decision into Alberta's court system.
This course of action, which has very important implications for all Christians and lovers of freedom, not just for Mr. Boissoin himself, may cost a lot of money.
Ezra Levant incurred a cost of $100,000 to fight back against an Alberta human rights commission attack based on his publication of the Muslim "Danish cartoons" in Western Standard magazine.
Christian businessman Scott Brockie incurred $170,000 in costs to fight several appeals of a homosexual-based "human rights" complaint in Ontario.
We need to support Mr. Boissoin's legal challenge. We need to hold up his arms and help him fight this battle. The ECP Centre stands with Mr. Boissoin, and we are asking you also to lend your support to this important appeal, to join this battle to preserve fundamental freedoms in Canada - the freedom to share the Gospel to all people, including homosexuals; freedom of religion, freedom of conscience and freedom of speech.
Please buy a ticket to one of our Alberta fundraisers. We look forward to seeing you there.
If you are not from Alberta, but would like to support this very important court case, would you please consider purchasing a ticket for somebody else to attend these dinners. If you are willing to buy a ticket for somebody else, would you please also contact us with any directions you may have regarding the allocation of that ticket.
Thank you in advance for your support for this battle for freedom - the freedom to hold your faith and the freedom to share your faith - in Canada.
