Bill C-250 passed senate approval today and now faces the final hurdle of royal assent, before becoming law.
Religious groups made a last ditch effort to convince the Canadian senate not to pass the bill, fearing that use of biblical passages will be seen as hate toward those who speak against sexual orientation.

There was once a boy with a bad temper. His father gave him a bag of nails and told him that every time he lost his temper, he must hammer a nail into the back of the fence.
