Show notes:
In the first segment, our panelists discuss the implications of Minnesota’s new “gender identity” law, which lacks religious exemptions, raising concerns about potential conflicts with religious freedom. They examine how this law might impact churches, schools, and individuals in Minnesota, questioning whether it could criminalize traditional religious beliefs and practices.
In the second segment of the show, we explore the court case reaffirming religious liberty in Canada, but not in Quebec. The discussion focuses on the Webber Academy case, where the Supreme Court upheld the requirement for secular authorities to accommodate religious practices, highlighting the contrasts in religious freedom across different regions.
