Are Christian Beliefs Still Protected in Canada?

Talk Truth 08.25.26 – Michael Wagner | Author and researcher Michael Wagner examines a troubling question: could traditional Christian beliefs about sexuality eventually fall outside Charter protection in Canada? Looking at a legal argument stemming from Alberta’s Bill 24 controversy, the Trinity Western University Supreme Court decision and the direction of religious freedom in Canada, Wagner explains why he believes the law is moving toward greater restrictions on Christian expression. The conversation also turns to Bill C-9, the meaning of tolerance and why a society that claims to value diversity may be becoming increasingly intolerant of traditional Christian beliefs.
