Did Marc Miller Just Open the Door to Bible Censorship?

This week’s “Clown World” roundup exposes three major stories that highlight the growing contradictions, political double standards, and policy incoherence shaping Canada’s current landscape.

The first centres on startling remarks from Mark Miller, chair of the Justice and Human Rights Committee, who suggested that certain passages from the Bible—specifically verses addressing sexuality—could be considered hate-promoting and therefore subject to censorship or even prosecution under the forthcoming Online Harms Act. The hosts argue this marks a shift from “we’re not censoring religious scripture” to openly entertaining the idea of restricting Christian doctrine, even while similar passages in other religious texts go unmentioned. This selective scrutiny, they say, reinforces a broader cultural double standard: Christianity is fair game for public criticism, while other faiths remain politically untouchable. They point to the burning of over 150 Christian churches across Canada with minimal media coverage as further evidence of an imbalance the government appears unwilling to correct.

The second story features NDP MP Don Davies, who claims Canada needs a budget “for Canadians, not Donald Trump” while calling for new taxes on major U.S. tech firms. The hosts mock the contradiction: at a time when U.S. tariffs threaten Canadian industries, Davies wants to escalate tensions by hiking taxes on American companies—policies they argue will neither attract investment nor support Canada’s struggling tech sector. They note this aligns with long-standing NDP instincts toward higher taxation but say it does nothing to improve Ottawa’s negotiating position with Washington, particularly as Canada struggles to secure a fair tariff deal while other nations move ahead.

The third story revisits Ontario’s liquor policies after LCBO reported shrinking profits. Rather than acknowledging high provincial prices or declining consumer spending, former NDP MPP Cheri DiNovo criticized the fact that private retailers—rather than the government monopoly—are earning more from alcohol sales. The hosts ridicule the outrage as peak political absurdity: a politician upset that regular Canadians and small businesses are making money instead of the state. Combined with Ontario’s long-standing high alcohol prices and recent product restrictions, they say the reaction reflects a deeper ideological discomfort with private enterprise itself.
