This is a UCP MLA calling for a referendum on abortion inside of the legislature. They’re coming for abortion. Under his eye. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

Christian nationalists are trying to manufacture consent to ban abortion. Given the trajectory of reactionaries in this country, they might invoke the notwithstanding clause to do it. Help us stop them www.bchumanist.ca/join

We stand in solidarity with the trans youth of Alberta whose rights and very existence are under attack by their government's Christian nationalist agenda. egale.ca/egale-in-act...

Did you catch us on CTV News last week? We're calling for an end to the automatic property tax exemptions for places of worship. Instead, we should ask everyone who wants an exemption what they give back to the community. www.bchumanist.ca/kicking_off_...

Yesterday, we submitted our brief on the government's new hate crimes bill. Simply put: We don't like it. www.bchumanist.ca/bill_c_9_str...

We're quoted in tonight's story, along with Vancouver mayoral candidate Kareem Allam agreeing that BC is overdue for a review of property tax exemptions. www.ctvnews.ca/vancouver/ar...

Last night, CTV Vancouver started a conversation about property tax exemptions. The story continues on tonight's six o'clock news with our call for an end to the automatic exemptions in favour of public benefits tests. www.ctvnews.ca/vancouver/ar...

The federal budget failed to include the req't for transparency from unregulated pregnancy centres, sending the signal that protecting reproductive rights from deceptive practices is not a government priority. Please email your MP today using this tool from @bchumanist.ca

The government broke its promise with Budget 2025 by failing to regulate anti-choice charities. Email your MP today: www.bchumanist.ca/antichoicech...

Join us next week for a special ceremony in Vancouver to remember the civilian victims of conflict. Details: www.bchumanist.ca/let_peace_be...

Incredibly disappointing that Salmon Arm council overruled its own policy and granted property tax exemptions to local groups who failed to meet the very minimal expectations the city had set out. www.castanet.net/news/Salmon-...

With Budget 2026, we thankfully see Women and Gender Equality funding protected from cuts. However, the Government has failed to take steps to modernize Canada's charity laws, limit the dangerous misinformation of anti-choice clinics or end the privileged tax deductions for clergy.

Over the summer, we made our recommendations for Budget 2026 and framed them against the threats to Canada posed by American Christian Nationalists. On Tuesday, we see what the government's plan is. www.bchumanist.ca/bcha_asks_fi...

This is a great initiative from the American Humanist Association to support secular content creators! www.friendlyatheist.com/p/how-the-am...

Support for people's right to die with dignity remains high in Canada. researchco.ca/2025/10/30/m...

Canadians are a pretty skeptical bunch: About 25% reject the paranormal and another 31% are "neutral". theconversation.com/new-research...

Humanists are big fans of public education. What's happening tonight in Alberta must be seen as an attack on public education itself. The use of the notwithstanding clause threatens all our rights and freedoms. It cannot be normalized like this. We stand in solidarity with Alberta Teachers ✊✊

We're glad to see this bill soundly rejected by the BC Legislature. Simply put, a land acknowledgment is a mere statement of historical fact aimed at promoting reconciliation.

Great piece here from @wordsarehard-pjh.bsky.social exposing the deceptive & manipulative tactics of religious crisis pregnancy centres. www.pauljhenderson.com/fake-crisis-...

In a couple weeks, the government will release its first budget since the Finance Committee recommended ending charitable status for religious groups. Sign the petition to ensure the government follows through and modernizes our laws. www.bchumanist.ca/religion_cha...

We're excited to host Megan Sheldon and Janice Selbie for a conversation on death on October 28. RSVP to get the link to the webinar. www.bchumanist.ca/discussing_d...

We've published the speech we gave to the No Tyrants rally on Saturday in Vancouver. Thanks to everyone who came out to stand in solidarity for peace and democracy! www.bchumanist.ca/we_call_it_w...

Christian nationalists enraged to learn faith-based groups that do zero public good might lose tax-free charitable status – ‘Religious organizations should have charitable status because they do charitable works, not because they are religious’ www.pauljhenderson.com/christian-na... @bchumanist.ca

@bchumanist.ca @abortionrightscan.bsky.social

It's time to modernize Canada's charity laws and end the automatic charitable status granted to religious organizations. Sign the petition: www.bchumanist.ca/religion_cha...

Proud to stand in solidarity against tyrants and White Christian Nationalism. #NoKings Vancouver.

BC Humanists @bchumanist.ca are encouraging its members and supporters to attend the No Tyrants rally in Downtown Vancouver BC on 18th October 2025. #NoKings #VancouverBC www.bchumanist.ca/no_tyrants_2...

Today at noon, we'll see you at Jack Poole Plaza to say No Tyrants! www.bchumanist.ca/no_tyrants_2...

Chilliwack North MLA Heather Maahs invited homophobic anti-choice Christian nationalist group to legislature then hid when asked to defend them – Supposedly free-voting BC Conservatives whipped into inaction, skipping vote on NDP motion to condemn ARPA Canada www.pauljhenderson.com/chilliwack-m...

We are excited that Ian Bushfield of @bchumanist.ca will be one of our speakers at No Tyrants Vancouver! One of humanism’s seven fundamentals is a commitment to democracy & human rights. Ian is a natural choice to speak to the action we need to take to preserve democracy here on our own soil.

Unfortunately, Kelowna Council ignored the calls of local residents and renewed religious permissive tax exemptions for another five years. Credit to our friends at KASHA for keeping up the pressure. The winds are slowly changing. www.kelownacapnews.com/local-news/k...

On Monday, MLAs voted overwhelmingly to condemn the Christian nationalist group ARPA for its transphobia, homophobia and opposition to abortion. www.bchumanist.ca/bc_legislatu...

This is Christian nationalism and they're trying to get a toehold in Canada.

When we heard Fraser Health was partnering with an anti-choice crisis pregnancy centre, we spoke out. We're glad they're distancing themselves but the story leaves a lot of questions unanswered. www.thetyee.ca/News/2025/10...

Today at 1pm (PDT) join us for a livestream discussion on our most recent report on prayers in PEI municipal council meetings. www.youtube.com/live/PbJoM9q...

This claim is not just factually untrue but is dangerous as it fuels a Christian Nationalist persecution complex.

Today is the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. We reflect on the legacy of residential schools and the need to work toward respecting the dignity of all peoples.

In June, we called for Budget 2026 to advance secularism by ending the automatic religious tax exemptions and to phase out faith-school funding. Many of you shared our call and those efforts are reflected in the committee's report. But our work isn't done. www.bchumanist.ca/humanist_voi...

Let's be clear about what this is: The Alberta government is once again proposing to strip Albertans of their rights and autonomy. They went after trans kids, now the right to die. Will reproductive freedom be next?

Have you stumbled across a Crisis Pregnancy Centre website? 💻 Teale of @bchumanist.ca joins Leslie in our latest CPC website walkthrough of Valley Care Pregnancy Centre in Kentville, NS. Watch them reveal the common tricks and tactics used to deceive folks looking for options. 🔍

The duty of religious neutrality is an unwritten constitutional principle that cannot be overruled by the notwithstanding clause. We just filed our factum with the Supreme Court of Canada in the Quebec's religious symbols ban (Bill 21) case. www.bchumanist.ca/secularism_i...

🤔 Looks like Fraser Health saw our press release and have updated their social media and website messaging to remove mention of the crisis pregnancy centre. There's no public word on this yet though, so we'll keep investigating this.

An alliance of groups that support reproductive rights, including ARCC, is raising the alarm over a recent partnership between Fraser Health and the anti-abortion organization Hope for Women.

This is really great news, but why didn't Carney make it clear much earlier? Reproductive rights and health are obviously a low priority for this "Liberal" gov't.

We posted a quick summary of our latest report on prayers in PEI municipal council meetings. Check it out www.youtube.com/watch?v=jBIw...
