pflag Canada Statement on Federal Combatting Hate Act

pflag Canada welcomes recent federal action to address rising hate in our communities. The Combatting Hate Act will help protect people from hate and intimidation at places like schools, community centres, and places of worship, and will make it illegal to display hate symbols in public. These steps support the safety and dignity of all Canadians, including 2SLGBTQIA+ people and their families. We remain committed to working with partners nationwide for a Canada where everyone can belong and feel safe.
