CFI Launches Dangerous Dilutions Project

CFI Canada inquires into the role that pseudo-scientific health services play in the lives – and deaths – of their clients.  Pseudo-scientific health services seem to be playing an ever-greater role in mainstream society, governments and universities.  These services, which often have no greater effect than a placebo, may lead to harm for people and for society.

Pseudo-scientific health services, such as homeopathy, are not only diluting their “treatments”, they’re diluting the healthcare system.  CFIC’s Dangerous Dilutions Project is an inquiry into the impact of these service providers – and the responsibilities and accountabilities that should be placed upon these service providers when they sell their services.

CFIC encourages you to submit pseudo-scientific health services and claims to info@cficanada.ca .  All tips and questions will be maintained confidential.  CFIC volunteers will investigate all tips, questions or claims and report our findings.

End Blasphemy Laws Now!

Posted on January 30, 2015December 9, 2015 By NED

A World Movement to End Blasphemy Laws Launches in 2015

On December 22, 2014, CFI Canada and Humanist Canada met with Ambassador Andrew Bennett of Canada’s Office of Religious Freedom.  During that meeting CFI Canada brought Canada’s blasphemous libel law to the agenda and communicated our view that this law is dangerous, problematic and hypocritical for the Canadian government to retain.  This first meeting soon led to partnerships across Canada and internationally!  CFI Canada is proud to be a co-founder of a new anti-blasphemy coalition (ICABL).

Now hundreds of  international organizations are calling for the removal of blasphemy laws wherever they exist.   Association humaniste du Quebec, Atheist Alliance International, Atheist Ireland, BC Humanist Association, Centre For Inquiry Canada, Humanist Society of New Zealand, International Humanist and Ethical Union and a growing list of organizations have formed a coalition to oppose all global blasphemy laws.
