Senate Expands List of Prohibited Symbols in Hate Crime Bill to Include Noose, Bill Headed Back to Commons
The Senate has amended the government’s hate crime bill to include the noose as a prohibited symbol during its review of the legislation. The Combatting Hate Act, Bill C-9, completed third reading in the Senate on June 4, typically the last step in Parliament before a piece of legislation receives royal assent and becomes law. With senators making an amendment to the bill, it must now be sent back to the House of Commons, where the Liberal majority government will be able to make a final decision. The amendment was brought forward by Sen. Wanda Thomas Bernard, who said she was once told to “go back to Africa” by young men passing by in a pick-up truck with a noose hanging from the back.

BC Conservatives Lead NDP With 5 Percent Bump in Poll Since Findlay Elected as Leader
The B.C. Tories are slightly ahead of the province’s governing NDP in a poll conducted since Kerry-Lynne Findlay became leader of the party. The party now sits at 45 five percent support among decided voters compared to the NDP’s 41 percent, according to a Leger poll conducted June 1 and 2. A previous poll by Leger conducted in early April had the BC Conservatives at 40 percent, suggesting the party gained five percentage points since. “Kerry-Lynne Findlay’s leadership is also beginning to shape perceptions of the BC Conservatives, though many British Columbians are still getting to know her,” Leger noted in a June 5 statement on the latest poll. “Awareness of the leadership change is high, but familiarity with Findlay remains limited, leaving room for opinions to shift as she becomes more visible.”
