Last week, we told you that the NDP's Bill 67 (that calls for fining students for "subconscious racism" all under the ideology of critical race theory) has returned, now as Bill 16.

When Bill 67 was presented for second reading in March, you might recall that every PC, NDP, Liberal MPP present - and even Derek Sloan's man Rick Nicholls - all voted in favour of the bill.

Unfortunately, I was the only MPP in the Ontario legislature to vote against this far-left, authoritarian piece of legislation.

Bill 16 is virtually identical to Bill 67. Not one sinister element was removed since the last parliament.

There are a multitude of issues with this legislation - here are just two examples:

1. Bill 16 redefines racism to mean "the use of socially constructed ideas of race to justify or support, whetherconsciously or subconsciously, the notion that one race is superior to another."

2. Bill 16 would see any person - including a student, parent or faculty member - fined for engaging in behaviour deemed "subconsciously" racist.

Ontarians know there is something wrong with a bill that is based on the belief that our schools contain "systemic racism and discrimination" requiring mandatory programs and training and the ability of bureaucrats to exercise police-like powers to "fine" students for their "subconscious" and "socially constructed ideas."

As the new wing of Justin Trudeau's Liberal Party of Canada, the Doug Ford Ontario PCs are like clapping seals, rushing to support all "woke" left wing legislation, like they did with Bill 67 until we called them out and forced the PCs, the Liberals, and the NDP, to back track.

We will continue to grow the New Blue Party of Ontario and increase the pressure on the establishment parties for supporting overreaching "woke" legislation including the new Bill 67 - Bill 16.

With your continued support, the New Blue Party will keep the Ford government accountable to Ontario voters, whether the PCs like it or not.
