Canada does not have the same freedom of speech that the U.S. has (had.)

No it would not. Banning an organization from preaching hate to children is not hate.

That's as stupid as saying banning serial killing is a form of hate against serial killers. A very twisted definition.

I think the cold weather turns good folks into busy bodies.

How do you explain all the busy bodies in the politics of Iowa, Wisconsin and Minnesota?

If God didn't create Prairie Home Companion, Man would have to invent it.

People should leave other people alone and stop trying to get in between a parent and their kids. No federal, state or local government will ever legislate what I can and cannot teach my children. My kids are and have always been taught to respect people and they know I would never leave them alone with anyone who might put them in any kind of danger.

Is this where we're headed in the United States?
So if Saudi Arabia creates a law that says that Christianity can't be practiced in public, are you going to say the same thing?

United States != Canada.

You can teach your children what you want. You can make them as equally bigoted and simple minded as you are or are not. What the OP is talking about is what is taught in SCHOOL. In Alberta, home schooling has to follow the provincial curriculum. It would be against their constitution to teach bigotry towards gays.

Parents outside of school can teach their children what they want.

Just because you don't agree with how scripture defines certain sexual acts as sinful (sodomy, bestiality) does not mean it is hate speech. Most biblical edicts such as this, or how to keep food, had real basis in the foundations of health, thus were warnings prudent to follow. The reality of this wisdom is not lost today on those who choose fact based reason even if they do not believe in the concept of "sin".

From the 10 Commandments: "Thou shall not murder"

Teaching that a certain behavior is a sin is not "hate."

That would be unconstitutional in America. I wouldn't put it past Progressives to try it, but it wouldn't hold up in the Supreme Court.

There are two genders. If the attraction to men is exclusive - it excludes women - then bisexuality is impossible. But we see it is not exclusive. It may be true in your case that it is exclusive, but a lot of people are choosing and that is a problem.

The wrath of God is on this generation. He has given this generation over to a base mind and immoral behavior in order to destroy them. All I can say is believe in the Son of man and he will be your advocate. Pray for forgiveness.
