    Armstrong’s bill was motivated by a recent $750,000 fine issued by the BC Human Rights Tribunal against former Chilliwack school trustee Barry Neufeld over his comments about LGBTQ people.

    This seems pretty complicated and messy, as it does seem someone is being fined 750k for their speech, which sounds like the bill being revoked is the thing removing free speech rights. Given this article lacks any detail or nuance does anyone have any real specifics?

    Gross. But I do understand the tradition of not voting down on first reading. But Armstrong seems to constantly introduce bills that have no chance of proceeding as a dog whistle / fundraising mechanism with her Trumpish base.
