CHP v. Hamilton: What’s Going On?
Is publicly defining “woman” discriminatory?
In this conversation, John Sikkema and Colin Postma discuss the legal battle over a Christian Heritage Party bus shelter ad that read, “Woman: Adult Female,” which was rejected by the City of Hamilton as discriminatory. They discuss ARPA Canada’s intervention in the case, whether defining “woman” is protected political speech, how courts balance equality rights and freedom of expression, and why this case carries significant implications for public debate in Canada.
